A RIVAL STEAMER
COMPETITION STIRS UP THE PACIFIC
MAIL COMPANY
Threatened Loss of the Coffee Carrying Trade
In Central American Ports Brings
Out New Steamer.

San Francisco, Feb. 19.-The Pacific
Mail Steamship Company is anxious about
its business at the Central American ports
since the combination of northern rail
roads announced that they would put a
line of steamers along the Coast from
Mazatlan to Valparaiso, with the inten-
ton of diverting the coffee business from
Panama to the Sound on its way to New
York.
The northern combination has already
secured several steamers well suited for
the trade, and agents are already in the
field securing contracts for delivering the
coming coffee crop in the chief markets
of the world. Their success has aroused
the Pacific Mail Company, that has for
years controlled the carrying business of
the Central and South American Repub-
lies with such high hand that com
petitor was welcomed. Now they pro-
pose to cater to the trade to hold it, and
the steamer Portland is being fitted up
to go on the route from Mazatlan
to Panama to give regular service at many
of the small ports that have been over
looked while the Pacific Mail had business
all its own way. Then they compelled
the planters to haul their coffee and other
products to the ports they named. Now
they promise the planters that they will
go after their coffee at any port they wish
to name, where they can get steamer.
The steamer Portland was chartered a
few days ago by the company, and, to
make her uniform with the rest of the
fleet, her home port was changed from
the town after which she was named to
New York

PEARL HARB0R
Report That Admiral BeardsIee Has Taken
Possession.

fOSSeSSIOn.
Vancouver, B. c., Feb. 10.-Among the
passengers by the Warrimoo was F. H.
Holmes, Private Secretary of Damon, the
Hawaiian Finance Minister, who is en-
route to England on vacation. He says
there has been no change in the situation
since the arrival of the last steamer but
he believed the effectual manner in
which the revolution was quelled will
prevent any further uprising. The natives
were much disgusted at the fiasco and de-
spised Wilcox for his cowardly surrender.
In his opinion capital punishment will
not be inflicted on the con-
spirators not because the gov
ernment lacks courage, but be-
cause the country is free from grave Of
fenses and infiiction of the severest pen
atty of the law would be revolving to the
people. Holmes emphatically states that
the trials as conducted so far have been
eminently fair, and that the appointments
of Judge Whiting as president of the
court, and Lawyer Kenny as judge advo-
cate, was considered favorable to the
prisoners.
A dispatch from Washington says: The
report that Admiral Beardslee had seized
Pearl Harbor and declared protectorate
over the Hawaiian Islands is not believed
here Neither the State nor Navy depart
ments have intimation of such action. 1t
is stated by both that Admiral Boards
lees instructions have already been made
public, and there is nothing in them to
Justify such action on his part.

Sr1ALLPOX SERUM
IMPORTANT EXPERIMENTS MADE IN
ST. LOUIS
Similar Results as Were Obtained In Diph-
iberia Cases Expected--Returns
Looked For Soon.

st. Louis, Feb. 10.-Since the first ap-
pearance of smallpox two weeks ago ex-
periments have been made secretly at
quarantine to manufacture an effective
smallpox serum that will obtain the same
results in its branch that anti-toxine has
for diphtheria.
The experiments are under the direc-
ton of Health Commissioner Homan and
DR.. A. n. Ravolt, of the Washington Uni
versity. These two men have been ma
terially aided in their work by series of
tests made last December at the quaran-
tine station at New York by DR.. Elliott.
On the basis of these experiments, DIR.
Ravolt at once set to work two weeks ago
and vaccinated strong, healthy heifer
with bacilli, taken from q small pox pa
tent. After the animal had sufficiently
recovered, he took some of its blood and
extracted from it the serum. The first
actual tests were made several days ago,
so that the results, whether favorable or
otherwise, cannot yet be learned.

WON'T GIVE UP THE FEES
Suit Against an Ex-Oii Inspector in Me-
braska


braska
Omaha, Neb., Feb. 10'-A special to the
Bee from Lincoln says 1t is said today
that suit will be commenced tomorrow by
Attorney General Churchill on the bonds
of ex-Ol Inspector Hilton. Hilton re-
fused to turn over $1,000 in fees to the
state, claiming that they were paid in
fees for inspecting gasoline, and since
there was no law warranting inspection of
that fluid, he was personally liable for the
return of the same.
There was a conference held Saturday
between Governor Holcomb and State
Auditor Moore in which the case of Hill
ton was freely discussed. They arrived
at the decision that in the absence of any
prima -facie evidence of intent to defraud
the state, Hilton could not be proceeded
against, save in civil suit on his bond
The claim set up by Hilton that gasoline
is not an illuminating oil is laughed at by
every official connected with the State
House. 1t is limited that Hilton has 50
disposed of his funds that he is now exe-
cution proof, and there is considerable
speculation as to what has become of the
money.
