MET A WILD STORM orr THE CAPE.


Schooner Emma C1audina. which arriv-
ed In port Wednesday. nine days from
san Francisco, brought word of the hea-
w storm which has been raging along
the coast for the past ten days. Captain
Nielsen said that he encountered nothing
but one continual gale and heavy seas
since leaving. The toughest part was en-
countered in the vicinity OF Cape Flat
terry. and at one time II looked as IL the
schooner would be blown on the beach at
East point. on the British side. between
Smiths island and Race rocks.
The wind at this point blew so hart
that the schooner would not come about.
and II was only by ouf~k action on the
part OF the crew and the able seamanshp
OF Captain Nielsen that she was got out
Of her perilous position. When in this po-
blown away. but the captain soon had f.
repaired and got the ship about and
made for the American side where IL was
calm. During all this time the waves
were running sky high and II WAS with
great difficulty that the crew kept their
places. On Sunday. while the vessel was
off the cape, the wind was blowing sixty
miles an hour from the westward. Captain
Nielsen said In all his experience he never
saw the wind from so many directions In
so short a space Of time Nearly all hts
sails were blown away and he will have
them reset in this city.
The schooner will take on cargo OF
lumber at the city slip foot Of Spring
street. and finish NJ Tacoma Captain NeI-
sen was for eight months last summer IN
the "blackbirfing business IN the Gil
bert islands. and has number Of views
taken during the cruise. The captain says
that some OF these natives are fine look
ing and quite intelligent. while others are
as wild as March hares.

THE DUTY OF CONGRESS.
wilson wants More Tariff Reform. as
We'll - . Financial Measure.

Wusou wants More Tariff Reform. as
Well . . Financial Measure.
Washington City. Dec. I3.-Mr. Wilson.
Of West Virginia, does not believe the
present session should be a routine one.
but that the chances OF retrieving Demo
cratic supremacy depend on a fuu anu
solid record of reform legislation. ITO do
little or nothing" he said yesterday, Eek
cept pass the appropriation bills and the
lean list OF measures said to have been
agreed on by some OF our party leaders
would justify the charge that the Demo-
cratic party is incapable Of affirmative
and coherent politics. a bad party the
country may tolerate for while. and
even vicious legislation. as the career Of
the Republican party abundantly shows.
but an impotent party everybody dis
misses with rid4cnie and contempt The
country and the Democratic party have Il
right to vote the separate tariff bills
sent TO the senate. dealing with coal,
iron ore. sugar. free alcohol and barbed
wire. and there are some amendments TO
the administrative parts OF the tariff bill
suggested by the treasury that call for
action
Mr.. Wilson. who at the time he spoke
had not heard OF the senate action on
Mr.. Gray's motion. expressed a strong
opinion that the sugar bill ought TO pass.
"Our treaty and trade relations with
Germany" he said. demand the repeal
OF the discriminating tax against Ger
man sugar. and the protection of our peo-
pie against the trust call for the repeal
OF the is cent protection on refined
sugars"
Have you heard that the opponents or
the income tax are told by friends of
the trust that the repeal OF these two
differentials is ia the interests of the
tax?" he was asked
Yes. but. on the contrary, such repeal
would somewhat increase the import OF
refined sugar. add to our revenue and
moderate the power of the trust over
American consumers
I'VE should also pass a good banking
bill There IS danger of the committee
being asked TO give too much time OF
hearings after IT has gotten through with
the men whose counsel is really valuable
If the bill prepared by Mr.. Carlisle.
amended and perfected, If need be. could
be gotten through the house before the
holidays there would be ample time for
tts consideration in the senate. even with
their present rules. and OF course my
suggestions imply some change in these
rules for / believe that IL our peopla
do not adopt some form Of previous ques-
ton, so that they may dispose OF relief
measures. the Republicans Will adopt Z
TO pass their measures. There is a mighty
difference between legislative DEGREES
without deiiberation. as We had In the
Fifty-hrst congress, and legislation by
unanimous consent. as seems TO be the
helpless condition Of every large legisla-
tive body without rules TO bring measures
to vote. Under the latter system there
can be no party supremacy and no re-
sponse 10 popular verdiets. II we can
deal with all these matters wisely and
some others OF minor Importance we can
retire with dignity from the stage and
challenge our successors to do as much
for the people"
