No Fears for the Marion.

ofiicials at the Navy Department are tn
dignant at the report sent out from San
Francisco that fears were felt for the
safety OF the L. s. s. Marion. They al
express the utmost confidence In the safety

the bureau OF navigation. says he would not
be at all surprised TO hear of her arrival
at San Francisco in short time. The
Marion sailed from Yokohama. Japan, April

cisco. In order to break the monotony OF
the long voyage entirely across the Pa

to stop at Honolulu en- route, but no or

ATLANTIC LINERS IN A RACE.
The Pnris Charged With Crossing the
Majestic's Bows.


Great interest Is manifested in the state.
nents Of the Majestic's passengers regard

promptu race between the two steamships
which occurred during the passage. Both
ships left New York last Wednesday after.
neon within half an hour of each other.
The Majestic did not sight the Paris until
Thursday morning. the latter being slightly
ahead. At noon the Paris steered to the
southwark, the Majestic keeping to the
rorthward. Friday morning the Paris
seemed to have returned slightly north
ward and then was little more than a mile
distant. At daybreak Saturday the ships
were only half mile apart, and at noon
the Majestic had come nearly abreast
Crossed the Mnjestic's Bows.
John Widnes thus describes what fol-
lowed:
Il heard the sound of escaping steam
and, rushing on deck, found that the cap
tain had ordered the engineer to stop the
ei gines owing to the fact that the Paris
had altered her course and crossed our
bows SO close that, had Capt. Parsell not
stopped the engines, the Majestic would
Undoubtedly have run into the Paris. The
vessels then parted, the Majestic keeping
&c the north, while the Paris went more to
the south. until by night she had entirely
vanished"
Many of the Majestic's passengers assert
that the sudden swerve in the course OF
the Paris occurred within a distance OF
500 yards of the Majestic.
The Paris Captains Story.
The captain of the Paris made a state
ment to an Associated Press representa-
tive shortly after tn. vessels arrival at
Southampton, Eng, last evening regard
ing the race with the Majestic. 1t differs
materially from the story told by Mr..
Widnes with reference to the bow crossing
IL cident. Capt. Randle said:
Soon after leaving New York the Ma
1estic hove in sight, considerable distance
astern. The Paris maintained her lead
until Saturday, when, owing to a delay
ca used by change of stokers, the White
Star boat succeeded in overhauling the
Paris and crossed her bows from port to
starboard. This happened between ) and 4
o'clock Saturday morning. The Majestic
steamed along about half a mile distant on
the starboard side. The Paris gradually
forged ahead, keeping about the same dis
taEce to port.
THE captain of the Majestic, finding
his vessel dropping astern, slowed down
his engines and crossed under the stern
of the Paris receiving her back wash. He
then proceeded on his course, ending a
three-days' exciting race"
Arrival OF the Mails.
The mails brought by the Majestic ar
rived in London at 1880 o'clock last night,
and those brought by the Paris at ~
o'clock.
The Majestic's mails for the northern
provinces were delivered last night The
Majestic arrived in Liverpool at 1904 yes
terday morning and the Paris arrived at
Southampton at o'clock Tuesday evening.

CABINET SECRETS.
The Disagreements in England's OIL
cfal Family.

The Dtsagreements In Eng nd's OIL
cfaI Family.
The Pail Mall Gazette of London prints an
article upon Lord Rosebery and his cabinet
by zone Behind the Scenes" during which
the writer says:
''The premier is proving quite unequal to
the task of checking the tendency of ex-
cessive individualism in the cabinet. He
actually complained to a friend of the
writer that since leaving the foreign office
he has found nothing to do. Is Lord Rose
berry yielding to his native languor and
iry-do-nothingism. leaving each minister
to play off his own bat. with the result of
bewildering confusion?
Evidence of this is shown in the fiasco of
the Scottish committee measure. when Sir
William. Harcourt scarcely concealed his
contempt for Sir George Trevelyan, secre-
tary for Scotland. Lord Rosebery is keenly
aware that Sir William Harcourt means
mischief. but. while he is trying to smooth
matters outwardly by fiattering Sir William
Harcourts financial abilities. he. behind the
scenes is mere anxious to strengthen his
personal position than to guide the cabinet.
Instead of ignoring Sir William Har-
courts frigid attitude and gaining the con-
fdence of the cabinet by a sympathetic and
impartial policy, he is seeking advisors
congenial souls inside and outside the
Asquith (the home secretary; outside he
takes his cue from band of young men of
collectivist tendencies. thus alternating the
elderly ministers. Mr.. John Morley, the
chief secretary for Ireland, is ignored for
the young men forming Lord Rosebery's
bodyguard.
FINALLY Lord Rosebery is governing by
Clique instead of by the cabinet He has
discovered what Mr.. Gladstone finally dis
coVered-that the cabinet Is composed of
TWO d!stinct political parties. headed by Mr.
John Morley and Mr.. Henry Asquith The
former mistrusts collectivism and the latter
accepts 1t as a new social gospel. Mr. John
Morley is pledged to home rule and Mr.
Henry Asqutth and his party would gladly
see home rule shelved.
MIR. Gladstone's resignation was more
due to his feeling that he was out of touch
with the younger bloods in the cabinet than
to physical incapacity. Lord Rosebery. be-
lieving In the popularity at the polls of his
ccllectivists, has thrown his lot in with the
Asquithers and is aiming to replace Sir VIII
liam Harcourt by Mr.. Henry Asquith
This is the secret of the clique cabinet
and Lord ROsebery is yearning for a dsso-
luton In order to get q free hand"
