SAN FRANCISCO HARBOR.
Plans for Defense to be Ready Next
Year.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Ga pilot chart
was issued today at the Hydro
graphic office OF the North Pacific
Congress authorized this publication
at the last session, which is intended
to aid the mariners Of the West.
About the stretch between San Fran
cisco and Yokohama, distance of
$500 miles, every bit of information
obtainable is given.
1t is very interesting and in one
place indicates single floating log
about 5000 miles from the Hawaiian
Islands. General Casey, in his
annual report, deals largely with the
progress thus made In protecting the
seaboard from possible attacks of an
enemy's feet. He says that at San
Francisco battery of sixteen twelve.
inch mortars is very nearly ready,
and by the middle of next year three
twelve-inch rifles will probably be
mounted on high sites overlooking
San Francisco harbor.
The project for the defense OF that
port includes eighteen twelve-inch
guns on lifts, twenty-three ten-inch
and thirteen eight-inch guns on dis
appearing carriages, fifteen twelve
inch, five ten inch and six eight-inch
guns on non-disappearing carriages,
since these are on Ligh sites, which
need not fear an enemy's direct fire;
IA twelve-inch mortars, together
with submarine mines operated from
seven mining classmates, a part of
which have been practically COM
pleted, with the mounting of three
twelve-inch guns and sixteen
mortars. Half a dozen implements
are nearly or quite ready for as
many ten-inch guns, and with the
coast defender Monterey ready and
the Monadnock nearly completed.
the work at San Francisco seems to
be we'll started.

Superior Japanese Troops.

A British officer, who apparently
knows, says that it would be as rea-
sonable to charge brave men armed
with pitchforks against brave men
armed with rifles as to pit, man for

condition, against the Japanese"
''Of all native and colonial troops /

them," says he, Il would, next to
Goorkhaas, perfer a regiment of Jap
anese. They are brave, temperate,

might he done with them, are 200

WHARF AND WAVE.

DIAMOND HEAD, Nov. 20, 10 PM.
Weather, thick wind, light
east.
In nine consecutive passages the
Lucania has averaged 214 knots an
hour this year.
The barkentine s. n. Castle
leaves at noon today, bound for
San Francisco.
The armored cruiser Maine wins
a premium of 500, 300 for the build
ers of her engines.
The bark Albert is loading rap
idly. She will leave for San Fran
cisco early in next week.
The o. & o. S. S. Oceanic left
for San Francisco yesterday after
noon. She took but six passengers
from this port. The band was
present on the wharf and gave the
usual serenade.
The steamer w. G. Hall arrived
from windward ports yesterday
afternoon with a heavy cargo of
freight, which included 1899 bags
of sugar. She reports that rain is
plentiful in the Kona district. The
Hail will leave port again next
Friday.
The British ship Speake, on her
way from Antwerp TO San Fran
cisco, recently put in at Port Stan
ley and reported that her mate had
died at sea. She had met with
heavy weather and high seas, and
it was necessary for her to make
some repairs.
1t is the custom of the Japanese
to add to the names of their ships
of war the word Kan, a word which
is of Chinese origin, and means
war vessel, and their warships are
always spoken of in this way, as
Naniwa Kan, Hashidate Kan, etc.
In a similar manner, the word
Maru is added to the names of mer-
chant vessels, as Omi Maru, Yama-
skiro Maru. The word is of obscure
origin. 1t is believed to be a cor
ruption of Marc, "an archaic term
of endearment."
WASHINGTON, Nov. Zone of the
agents for the Union Iron Works of
San Francisco called on Secretary
Herbert at the War Department to-
day and complained of the delay
in furnishing the battery for the
new ship Olympia. This delay, it
is claimed, is caused by failure to
provide gun carriages, and it is
said that some have not even been
tested. The Oregon is now placed
in the same predicament, because
OF the failure to get the armor for
her, consequently it will be some
time before either the Oregon or
the Olympia will be ready for SER
vice.

made recently in the presence of

bluffs overlooking that stream. There
are several hundred enigy mounds in
Iowa as we'll rs in other parts Of the
country. but the most notable groups
are found in Wisconsin.
Concerning the relics found in the
mounds Maj. Powell says that less than
. hundred years ago great manv stone

itatiOn Of ancient Indian manufacture
were made by enterprising white men
for sale to the Indians in exchange for
their accumulations Of the precious
metals and also in exchange for parts
Of their reservations which were coveted
and desired for agricultural and other
purposes. The same enterprising white
men produced many thousands of cop
per implements which are found In
these mounds to-day. White men OF
similar business turn of mind are now
taking these bogus relics from the
mounds and selling them; thereby
duplicating profit upon the fraudu-
lent products. Until this day there are
number of people in the Ohio valley
engaged in the regular business Of
manufacturing relics. but not for
the purpose Of disposing Of them
to the Indians. They sell the
results of their dishonest ingenuity to
private collectors, colleges and univer-
sites. There are in the possession Of
the geological survey great many
curious tablets, or duplicates Of tablets
which have been exhumcd from Indian
mounds, nearly all of which are fraud

builders existed who were superior to

articles of human ingenuity found in

accounted for in satisfactory manner,

anything manifested by the Indians OF

clusion that dies were used in striking

II is believed not only by Maj.
Powell but by the most expert investi-
gatoes employed BY his bureau thoA

for domsciliary purposes rs well as de-
fensive purposes. The fact that the
Indians buried their dead near their
homes upon these mounds caused sup

were builded primarily for purposes Of
interment. But this belief is no longer
entertained.
