CUSTOMS INSTRUCTIONS.
Arrival at the Exterior Port and Not the

Arrival at the Exterior Port and Not the
Interior Port to Govern.
WASHINGTON, August 29.-Secretary
Carlisle has received q number of tele-
grams of inquiry from customs officers
as to the details to be observed in carry
ing the new tariff into effect. The re-
plies were of no special interest with the
exception of one, which states on the
authority of the decision of the United
States Supreme Court that imported
goods destined for any interior point
will be considered as having been inn
ported when they arrive at the custom
house at the seaboard, or, technically
speaking, the arrival at the exterior port
and not the interior port will govern in
determining the time of arrival. In an
swer to telegram from the Boston GUS
toms authorities Secretary Carlislisle has
replied, holding that no goods which ar
rived in port before midnight on August
q are entitled to entry under the new
tariff act. This applied to goods under
government order for which no entry
has been made and to goods in port en-
tered and also to goods entered for which
permits have not been presented.

EFFECT ON FRUIT.
The Present Hot Weather Expected to
Benefit the Grape Crop.

The Present Hot Weather Expected to
Benefit the Grape Crop.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 28.-In an in
terview to-day Weather Observer Ham,
mond gave it as his opinion that, so far
as the effect upon the crops was con-
cerned, the present state of the weather
would be rather an advantage than other
wise. For one thing the raisin men have
been worrying somewhat of late about
the slowness Of the season, fearing that
the ripening of the grape crop was not
proceeding as rapidly as it should for
their purposes, and spell OF extremely
high temperature would seem to be just
what they need. 1t would also have the
effect of fastening the ripening of other
fruits, though it is possible, Of course,
that little scorching may be done also.
As general proposition, however, 1t Is
considered that everything is now too
far advanced and fully matured for any
particular damage to be done.

THE QUEEN FLOATED.
The Damaged Steamer Lifted From the
Rocks Near COrmOrant Island.

The Damaged Steamer Lifted From tho
Rocks Near COrmorant Island.
PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, August o.
The steamer City of Topeka arrived
from Alaska to-day with late news con-
corning the stranded steamer Queen.
Sunday evening at high tide, after the
Queen had been relieved of the freight
in the forward hold, the anchors and
chains taken ashore and several hundred
tons of coal discharged overheard, she
hoatea off and was beached at Alert Bay,
ten miles distant. A bowlder had pene-
trated her forward compartment, knock
ing off plate and admitting large vol
ume of water, but the damage could not
be ascertained until the tide had fallen,
which would have been yesterday six
hours after the Topeka left. Captain
Carroll told the passengers he was un-
able to ascertain the extent of the injury,
and that he might possibly patch up the
aperture and return to the Victoria dry
dock for repairs. Two of the excursion
lists decided to return and come down
on the Topeka, and the others stopped
by the vessel and will continue north
on the next trip of the Topeka. The
officers of the Topeka think the Queen
more seriously damaged than at first re-
ported, and that it will require much
labor and expense to put her in first
class condition.
A. bordeaux of Duluth, one of the
Queens passengers who came down to-
day, said that the shock of the vessel 60
ing on the rocks was scarcely felt, and
that few realized that the ship was
aground until next morning. The beach
all along Cormorant Island is sand ex-
cept where the accident occurred, and
that for fifty or sixty feet is strewn with
sharp jagged rocks. The passengers are
encamped ashore, enjoying the novelty
of the excursion.

PREPARED FOR THE BREAK.

Another JoAnstown, but without the
Loss Of Life.
SILVA, August 28.-Gohns Lake, which
has for some time past been threatening
to break its banks and sweep down the
valley, at the head of which it lies, has
broken the dam controlling the waters.
Thousands of tons of water poured
through the valley Ikea cataract, sweep
ing everything before it. Huge bowl
ders were swept along like pebbles, treea
were uprooted and carried on the crest
of the flood, and villages along the valley
were swept out of existence in an in
slant after the roaring torrent of whirl-
ing waters struck them. The rainfall
during the monsoon has been heavy,
and the lake rose with great rapidity.
The percolation ct the dam became very
heavy, and the engineers who examined
it decided that its breakage was inn
minent. To repair it was impossible,
and the government at once took steps
to prevent loss Of life when the break
came. Elaborate railway and tele-
graphic arrangements were made, and
when the dam started to 60 ont the
peeple nearest the point of danger were
CO. Aed by the railroad to places Of
safety, while those farther down the val
ley were notified to pack up their be-
longings and be prepared to leave their
homes when called upon by the govern
ment to do 50. The call was soon issued
and the people taken away. So when
the flood really came the valley was
deserted by everybody. To this wise
foresight of the government is due the
fact that great loss Of life was averted.

Mrs. W. X. Vanderbilt Considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of Instituting Suit.
New YORK, August pa Paris dis
patch says: Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt has
under consideration the advisability Of
instituting proceedings for divorce
The difficulties, it is said, nearly reached
a climax some months ago, when the
party on the yacht Valiant in the Medi-
terranean separated. About ten weeks
ago Cornelius Vanderbilt went to Lon
don to stop further proceedings, but was
unsuccessful. Mrs. Vanderbilt is repre-
scented by Colonel William Jay of New
York, who is now in Germany. A prop
osition is said to have been made b,
Mrs. Vanderbilt for separation on tn,
basis of an annual allowance of $500,
600, the custody of her children and the
possession of three houses at Newport
Islip and New York. It is said that Mr.
Vanderbilt offered no objection, bu
would only consent to terms less liberia
than those asked by Mrs. Vanderbilt
She has refused his proposition, and fur
ther discussion is postponed until tn
arrival of Colonel Jay in Paris. Mr.
Vanderbilt yesterday declined to dis
cuss the matter further than to say that
he had instituted proceedings in divorce.

.av;ssd to Hold Their wheat.

GoLpENDALE, WASH, August 31.-M.
A. Showers, the horseman recently To-
Gated in Goldendale, has just received
letter from L. L. Harris, a grain buyer
of Lincoln, Neb., who owns line OF
elevators on the Burlington road from
Chicago to Denver. Mr.. Harris says
there has recently been heavy pur-
chase of wheat by Germans, owing to
the poor crop outlook in Europe. Fur
ther. that there was much greater
shortage of the crop in Europe than was
anticipated. Mr.. Harris said he be-
lieyed. if the farmers could hold their
wheat until next June, that they would
receive three times the present prices Of
Tered. Mr.. Showers has great confidence
in Mr.. Harris, as he believes he is from
long wears of successful experience
strictly on the inside of the worlds mar
kets. Mr.. Showers is of the opinion
most of the Klickitat farmers will have
to sell, owing to pressure OF obligations;
but should they manage to hold q part,
be believes they viii be well rewarded.

PEORIA, ILL.,, August 28.-With the
close of business the whisky trust took
out $4,000, 600 worth at all points. It
could have taken out more, but wanted
to influence the stock. The trust will
test the validity OF the new tariff.

Charged With Opening and Reading
Another Persons Letter.
DENVER, August "a warrant was
issued to-day for the arrest of Governor
Waite on the serious charge of opening
and reading letter addressed to Mrs.
Likens, formerly matron at the police
headquarters. The warrant was issued
by United States Commissioner Hins-
dale, who also issued warrants for the
arrest of President Denis Mullins of the
Police Board, Chief of Police Hamilton
Armstrong and Kate Dwyer, matron at
police headquarters.
The charge is opening mail and also
conspiracy under statutes Nos. 1892 and
5,44O, the penalty for which is fine of
not over $40 1000 or two years imprison-
ment, or both. The complaint was made
by Mrs. Likens, and was investigated by
Postoffice Inspector McMechen. Mr..
McMechen laid the matter before United
States District Attorney Johnson, who
this afternoon drew up a formal COM
plant against the four persons men,
toned. This was presented to Commits
sioner Hinsdale, and he issued the war
rants, which were placed in the hands
of Marshal Israels assistant. Shortly
afterward the warrants were served, and
all the parties named were arrested and
taken before Commissioner Hinsdale.
Governor Waite created quite scene in
the Commissioner rooms. He was
highly indignant, and when Deputy
United States District Attorney Rhodes
stepped toward him with extended
hand, the Governor met him with cold
stare. Governor Waite pleaded "not
guilty." claiming he had not opened the
letter, but the contents had been read to
him. The hearing of the case was set
for tomorrow, and when it was sug-
gested that bail be fixed at 5000, the
prisoner sprang from his chair, paced
the floor and exclaimed:
81 will not give bail. am Governor
of this State, and the proceedings are
had to interfere with me in the admin
istration of my Office. will not give
bail. You may send me to Jail, but I
will not give bail"
Finally the Commissioners accepted
the Governors personal recognizance to
appear for trial in the sum of 500.

GENERAL DIMOND'S REPORT.
Operations Of the National Guard During
the Strike Reviewed.

Operations Of the National Guard During
the Strike Reviewed.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 28.-The re-
port of Major-General Dimond to Gov.
ernor Markham on the operations OF
the National Guard at Sacramento dur
ing the strike has been made public by
the Governor. 1t is document OF
length, and the major portion OF it ia
devoted to review of the events at Sac
ramento July 4. He quotes q number
of kilograms that passed between him
and the State authorities and the Ma
one received from the Governor author
izing him to proceed to Sacramento with
troops and directing him to use his
"best judgment as to number, equip
ment and mode of transportation"
General Dimond, in view of the fact that
the troops suffered much from hunger
on the first day of their arrival at the
capital, lays great stress on the fact that
in issuing orders tOSthe commanders he
repeatedly directed that two days ra-
tions be taken along, which orders, he
says, for some reason not yet known
were not complied with" He also
quotes kilograms to show that he had
made inquiries as to the loyalty of the
troops and had been assured that they
would do their duty at all hazards.
The depot campaign is set forth at
length, but the facts do not differ mate
rally from those published at the time:
It appears that the General had agreed
to take the troops direct to the depot,
but through orders, the responsibility of
which he has not yet been able to place,
he was taken to Twenty-frst street, and
found it necessary to disembark his
troops there. This he refers to as "a
serious and fatal mistake" The respon-
sibility of the movement of General
Sheehan's troops from the head OF the
column is placed on Marshal Baldwin:
General Dimond states that General
Sheehan saw the necessity of occupying
the end of the depot, which was clear OF
strikers, and sent request to General
Dickinson to that effect. General Dick
inson refused, saying he preferred to re-
ceive such orders from General Dimond.
When General Dimond finally sent the
order General Dickinson had been over
come by the heat. The removal of the
companies from the head of the column
to guard the bridges was opposed by the
officers as demoralizing to the soldiers
and encouraging to the strikers, but
Marshal Baldwin, who had assumed
command of the troops, insisted on his
orders being carried out.

THE TREATY RATIFIED
England Recognizes Japan as
a Fully Civilized Power.
AN OBJECT DEAR TO HER PEOPLE

By the Terms Of the Treaty the Claim OF
Jurisdiction IL Abandoned-The Inn
portance of Great Britain's Action.
WASHINGTON, August 2S.-Japan has
at last succeeded in an object very dear
to her people and for which the govern
ment has striven with all the arts of
diplomacy for many years. News has
been received here by the diplomatic
corps that a new treaty has just been
negotiated between Japan and Great
Britain, by the terms of which the claim
of extra territorial jurisdiction by the
latter is abandoned. Negotiations look
ing to the ratification of similar treaty
are going on between Japan and the
United States and European nations
other than Great Britain, and it is said
that they will speedily follow the ex-
ample set by the latter and fully recog-
nize the right of Japan to exercise juris-
diction in her own territory. The inn
portance of Great Britain's action, which
by the way rather tends to discredit the
stories that she is hostile to Japan in
her present war, lies in the fact that it
is actually the recognition of Japan as a
fully civilized power. The exercise OF
extra territorial Jurisdiction has always
been confined to barbarous and semi
civilized countries, whose ignorance oil
the first principles of justice and law
seemed to render imperative the reten-
ton by the civilized nations of the world
of the right to administer justice where
their own citizens were concerned, even
as against natives of the semi-civilized
country and within its borders. This
has been done through the medium OF
Consular Courts, and the system obtains
in Egypt, China, Japan, Turkey and
many other countries. Ever since the
wave Of civilization rolled over Japan
her sensitive and proud people have re-
scented the continuance of the extra ter
ritorial system not solely because of it's
workings, but also because it was a
standing declaration that Japan was not
civilized and was a reflection upon the
Japanese judiciary. Therefore the action
of Great Britain in surrendering this
claim in the new treaty is of great inn
portance to Japan as marking distinct
epoch in her advancement to the front
rank of nations.

HUNrINaToN.s LETTER.
Policy of the Southern Pacific Company
Toward the Strikers.

Toward the Strikers.
SAN Francisco, August pa fort
night ago a local newspaper printed an
interview with ]. A. Fillmore. General
Superintendent of the Southern Pacific,
in which he was quoted as follows:
eff know that man was not true
to this company, and if find that he
has job anywhere, I will pursue him
and use my best efforts to have him dis
charged"
The men referred to, of course, were
American Railway Union men who took
prominent parts in the strike on the
Southern Pacific. The interview pro-
voked q storm of criticism, which was
mainly directed at the Southern Pacific,
for there were many who charged that
Fillmore had spoken with authority. G.
P. Huntington, President of the COM
panv, has written q letter from New
York, in which he positively declares
that Fillmore's reported policy is not the
policy of the Southern Pacific Company.
The letter is to III. E. Huntington of this
city, and is as follows:
Sc notice in the papers some remarks
said to have been made by Mr.. Fillmore
in respect to some of those who went out
in the late strike-that he would en-
deavor to prevent their getting work
elsewhere, etc. have not the article
/ can hardly believe that Mr.. Fillmore
said this. If he did, think he was all
wrong. We, of course, owe it to our
enlx ~$ !, 10
fuse to take back men who destroyed any
of our property or made any effort to
prevent others from taking their places,
thus preventing the operation of the
road not only for the benefit of the COM
pany, but for the common welfare of
people to use the road, particularly those
who had perishable property that needed
celebrity of movement to save it from total
loss. But when we have done that, to
refuse to take the men back, we have
done our part toward protecting our
selves and the interests of those who
need the road to take their stuff to
market. After we have refused to take
them back think we should wish them
to obtain places elsewhere. If it could
be done without injury to the public,
and it is not our business to follow them,
but when they 60, wish them well. I
never should refuse man work, even
my worst enemy, without regret, as any
one that comes to me for work whereby
to support himself and family shall have
it, if can give it to him, unless there
was some serious reason; and, as have
said, should then almost regret to re-
fuse them. hope our people will con-
slider these things carefully and bear in
mind that in handling the great interests
we are caring for it is not enough to look
out for the side of the company, but
also for the rights of every member of
the community in which we are work
ing and where our influence is felt"
