Notes Along the Wharves.
Considerable has been said i'm relation
to Captain Carter of the barkentine Myr-
tie, that recently sailed from this port.
The facts of the case are that Captain
Carter came into this port after a long
voyage of about seven months during
which time he had forwarded large
amount of money to the owners of the
vessel, and when he arrived at
this port he paid off his crew
with the mony that he received
from s. ID. Andrews & Sons. He at once
sent word to the owners of the vessel to
place money with a certain shipbroker in
Boston, so that all stop" bills might be
paid. For some unknown reasons the
money was not sent, and n number OF
drafts for bills owed were not cashed.
Upon the captains arrival at Portland,
Me-, he was informed of the fact and at
once made arrangements TO puy all of his
bills at this port and he has done
so or will in a day or SO; in fact has paid
more than he agreed to, as he was to pay
but one half price for pilotage out. The
bill for pilotage has been paid by the
Boston house, and the captain has also
senton the amount. The money has been
received by Pilot Commissioner Burr
oughs, who will refund one-half of the
amount received. Captain Carter and wife
(who accompanies him) have many friends
i'm this state who know him to be an honor
able and upright man, and always well
come in the port of Providence.
Among the vessels owned in this port
that have yielded fair profit this season
are the Asa Stowell and the Albert w.
Smith.
John III. Purkis, who has been one Of
the port wardens of this harbor for nearly
quarter of a century, qualified for that
position Saturday afternoon.
The steamer City of Newport went down
the bay Saturday afternoon and raised
the anchor that is used by the boats OF

Death of tho Gear.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The Daily News
correspondent in Yalta, who through
out the Czar's sojourn there has obtained
the most trustworthy and interesting IN.
formation, has sent this dipstcb: "The
Car died at 2:l5 o'clock this afternoon.
He was fully consc cious. When be felt
that his last hour was approaching he
asked for extreme uactlon. This was
administered by Father Ivan, who after.
wards conversed with the dying man for
some time. The Car next asked that
his family should gather round him. He
spoke with each member separately, but
at the greatest length with tho Czarina.
He then gave all his blessing. Finally
he bade farewell. Little he grew weaker.
His voice at last became hardly audi,
BILE. Soon after he passed away quietly
The oath of allegiance to Nicholas II
was then administered to the whole
family and at 4:30 O'Clock cannon were
fired to announce the fact to tho world"
After confirming tho death and the fun
eral arrangements already described, the
correspondent saye: "The entire seventh
army corps will pay military honors to
tho dea! Emperor when the body shall
be embarked at Yalta. The train fro u
Odessa to st. Petersburg will stop a.
every important station, where the local

Miss, at o'clock this morning, three
masked men jumpted on the engine
and entering the cab, covered Engineer

ductor w. B. Leonard went forward to
investigate. When he showed up at
the express can door the robbers fed
back to the coaches. Then the robbers
fired a volley in the air to intimidate
the rest of the crew and passengers. An
entrance was finally effected into the
express Car and messenger Genette was
covered with pistol and forced to
hand out the contents of the safe. The
robbers then backed out of the car and
jumped from the platform, still holding
their pistols toward the messenger and

Over Seven Million:

CoLUMBIA,S. c., Nov. 3-The office
of the Comptroller General has nearly
finished the tabular statements giving
the total taxable property of the State
for the year ending October 3lst. A
rough estimate ct the total Is $17o. .OOO,-
900, including personal property, real
estate and railroad property. Last year
the total amount was about $l6S,OOO,
600. The increase, therefore, Is a hand
some one, being at least 81 100000. This
is In the face of the fact that there has
been decrease In the returns of the
personal property of something like
S1,OOO,OOO and large reduction in the
assessment Oh the railroads. Besides
this there has been q decrease In the
returns from Beaufort and Berkeley
Counties of at least 81 100000 each, due
to the August storm of 1888. Over
100000 of personal property was de-
stroyed In these counties during the
storm. The increase this year Is all IN
real estate. and Is due to the vlgilant
work of the State Board of Real Estate
aliZation,-ReQiSter.

United States, while the rules Of the
road are much more burdensome
TOO MUCH RED TAPE.
An oft.repeated story of Chauncy
Depew illustrates the red tape of Ger.
man railroad management. A party of
young Americans ran after moving
train to rsard It.. The official OF the
platform called to them to stop. They
ran on and boarded the train. at the
next station at which the train stopped
they were taken from the car by a file
of soldiers, and Informed that as they
had clearly violated law of the En-
plre they had already been tried and
sentenced, without hearing, to thirty
days Imprisonment. Senator Cull0m,
on his return from trip to Germany,
few years ago, said that there was
more fuss over the departure of one
train in Germany than one would see
in years travel In America. and that
if our railroads had to pay the army of
officials which was needed to manage
the German roads, they would have TO
charge twice the present rates.
In France the original intention was
to have the railroads constructed at the
joint expense of the state, the localities
through which the lines were run and
private individuals; but eventually the
roads were to become the property of
the government. The first railroad law
was passed in 1912, the plan outlined
being for the construction of lines to
diverRe from the capital. The operat-
ing companies contributed about one.
half the cost of construction. The
roads were to belong to the government
after thirty.six years. The panic of
1847 and the political changes which
followed altered the original plan "a
great deal, and a new law was passed In
1859, by whish the state assumed super.

LABOR COST-NORThERN STATS.
TICS.

A free-trade contemporary says that a
recent report of the Connecticut Bureau
of Labor shows but one class of products
in which the labor cost is more than half
of the total cost. while in eleven of them
the labor cost is less than one-third of the
total and in seven of them is either less or
a little more than one-fOuTth of the total.
The amount paid Tor labor in the produc-
ton of cutlery is 81. 81 per cent of the total
cost In the production of machinery IL
is 1880 and of clocks $3.50. In the cotton
manufacturing industry it is 25.18 per cent
and the wooden only 21.60 per cent. II
would be interesting to know at what
stage of preparation the material of which
products are made is classed as raw. The
raw material of metal machinery Is iron or
steel, of WOODEN manufactures wool of
cotton manufactures cotton, OF cutlery
steel and so on. But the statistics say
nothing of the labor that enters into the
production of steel, iron, wool or cotton.
The labor cost of raw material is as great
probably as the labor cost in converting
raw material into finished goods. And
yet 1t is from such reports as this that the
free-traders get the idea that 20 per cent
ad valorem duty will cover the difference
between the labor cost of finished products
in this country and in Europe.

OLNEY'S OPINION.

Two local journals which are friendly
to silver profess to see nothing in the
opinion of Attorney General Olney that
silver certificates are not lawful money.
But as both gold certificates and silver
certihcates can be turned into the coin
they represent at the will of the holder
an opinion that the certificate Is not as
good as the coin is merely technical. The
certificate in itself in each case is value
less excep. as ii entities the holder to
something. In this case 1t entities the
holder to as many gold or silver dollars :
its face calls for. When person offers a
certificate In payment of a debt the cred
itor, If firmly convinced that the debtor is
solvent, may put the debtor to the trouble
OF turning the paper into coin. This could
not be done in case a greenback was
offered, as the latter is legal tender 10y law.
Unless Ait0rney-General Olney intended
the opinion he gives as to the status of
silver certificates as money to apply also
to silver dollars his opinion has no sigpi6-
canoe whatever. No one has ever con-
tended that silver certificates were legal
tender in themselves but that they emit
tied the holder to coin that Is legal tender.
Unless the purpose exists to declare the
coin not legal tender Mr.. Oney might as
well have been at work in one of the offices
OF the several corporations to which he is
still counsel.
