= Trawl lines, says the New York Sun,
ere laid along the bottom and kept in
position by an anchor at each end.
They are usually set for Goldfish or had
dock. They may be from, $50 to 500 feet
long. Hooks on very short pieces OF
linc, SO that they remain close to the
bottom, are placed six feet apart along
the trawl line On each of these short
lines, to keep the nook afioat, there is
cork. which is held in place by knot
in the line above and below. At each
end a line runs up to the surface of the
water, where a buoy IS attached to it.
BY means of these buoys the fisherman
is enabled to identify and locate his
trawl lines when he goes to take them
up.
In picking up trawl lines two men
start at one end in dory. When they
have pulled up one anchor and have got
one end OF the line one man pulls the
dory along over 1t, while the other picks
the line up and takes of the fish. Then
the line is reset or taken back to the
fishing vessel.
Sometimes trawl lines gre Joined to-
gether end to end, making practically

going to field of carnage, never to return.
''Oh, you will have to fight as soon as
you get there, won't you, ieutenant?" one
of them was heard to say in tone of ap-
parent anguish.
81 guess not" returned the gallant rover
of the seas.
''But if those savages catch you-my
goodness-just to think of it," she contin-
ued.
They'd find US pretty tough meat" re-
piled the young officer, who did not look a
bit tough.
1t was 80 at this juncture, and small,
innocent-looking messenger boy was OBJ
served making for the landing in most un-
usual haste He was closely followed by
another who was evidently chasing in the
rear in order to keep the other at running
pace.
This episode alone had the effect of at
tracing attention, and when the foremost
boy drew his breath he exclaimed: ''Tele-
gram, Admiral Beardslee."
The lieutenant was waiting for this very
message. He waved his hand to the others,
and with a polite but rigidly military
salute left their friends in jiffy, and
bounded for the steam launch which
awaited them.
Their run to the ship was watched with
eager eyes and in a moment after the small
boat was landed on deck and slowed, the
anchor-chain was heard to rattle through
the hawse-pipe, and then one of the stars
of the new navy swung stolidly around in
her own length and headed for the Golden

the ferry boats and other steamers in view.
It was exactly II o'clock when the warship
got under way, and by that hour the
wharves along the city front and the sea-
wall were pretty well lined with people.
No attemt was made at speed inside the
heads, but on the contrary, the ship ran as
close in as possible at very slow rate of
speed in order to give the spectators good
view of her.
Off the Powell-street wharf, however,
the Philadelphia began to curve the waters
and throw fakes of white foam to either
side, thus giving an opportunity to num-
Der of snap camera artists who had congre-
gated there for the purpose of catching her
on the outward trip.
The garrisons at Black Point, the Pre-
sidio and Fort Point were all lined up and
waved their adieus as she passed with ac-
celebrated speed, soon to disappear on the
horizon on her mission to preserve peace
if she has to fight for it.
1t was o'clock in the afternoon when
a blear-eyed and rocky-looking blueiacket
hove up at the Washington-street landing
to board his ship, the Philadelphia, after
spending the night on Barbara Coast. Not
seeing her white sides looming up, he
thought that he had lost his bearings and
had struck the bay line somewhere about
Hunters Point He inquired for her from
first one and then another, and each one
told him that she had sailed ''lons time
ago."

There is the brewing of lively storm in
some correspondence exchanged between
Camp Perkins and Camp Bowers, and a
lively legislative fusillade may cause this
epistolary and telegraphic exchange.
When the Senatorial skirmishes began a
fortnight or so ago, it was recorded that
Congressman Bowers was stanch sup
porter of the man from Oakland. Then
there began to be talk of Bowers himself
coming into the race. The talk grew, a
little boom was fermented, and the Perkins
forces determined to destroy it. This led
to a little correspondence, which cul-
minated in telegram just received from
the Congressman, who refers to threat
ening communication which he has had
from the Senator, and pronounces it un-
grateful, "after all I have done for him"
Congressman Bowers suggests to Assem-
blyman Dale that he see Smith,
the Senatorial colleague of Dale
from Kern, and Assemblyman Guy
of San Diego, and plainly indi-
Gates that he is now in the race for place
in the upper house of Congress. 1t is
claimed that if Bowers can win out in the
Senatorial fight that Thomas Flint will
the House of Representatives made vacant
by the promotion of Bowers. 1t is on this
theory that the Bowers men hold that
Flint will vote with them.
To all of which talk W. B. Hamilton, the
manager of Perkins, listens and then en-
phatically declares that it is futile. AS the
south has now one Senator, he says it is,,im-
possible for the other Senator to be chosen
from point below the Tehachapi loop.
The Senatorial situation has grown
grave There is now no doubt but that
some of the legislators pledged to him will
desert after the first ballot, and one of the
men who is back of the Bowers boom says
they may do so on the first ballot. He
points to the fact that many Southern
legislators have names beginning with the
latter letters of the alphabet, and says that
if there is danger OF Perkins nomination
when their names are reached that they
will abandon Perkins on TUESDAYS rollcall.
Speaker John Lynch declines to state his
position on the Senatorial question for
publication and will not say what he may
do on the result of his county committed s
demand that he stand to his pledge and
vote for Perkins. Senator Seymour does
not hesitate to talk. He says:
II believe Bowers would be as good a
man as could be selected, but shall vote
for De Young. l am bound by no pledge
to Perkins. The action of the San Bernar-
dino County committee does not concern
me. That resolution does not express the
wishes of the people of my county. It is
the work of Joe Brown, the Republican
political boss of San Bernardino who held
twenty-four proxies with which he ma
neuyered in behalf of that resolution. 1

years ago came with instructions to do
everything in my power to prevent the
division of San Bernardino County and to

pose was given full power to act l did

is cold. the mercury falling as low as zero,
or even lower than this. Fierce winds
sweep down from the north and the ground
occasionally is covered by a fall of snow.
Already we hear af the japanese army suf-
fering from the cold. 1t would not be
strange if the Chinese soldiers, who are ac-
customed to this climate, should recover a
little courage and offer serious resistance
to the progress of the japanese. The boast
of the japanese was that they should reach
Peking in November. As things now
stand, it seems improbable they can &C
complish this during the winter.
"But in the meantime negotiations for
peace are going forward. What will be the
result of these? We believe they will be
successful. The treaty powers desire peace
and will use their influence to secure it.
China is ready for peace, even on humlll-
ating terms. Japan, considering the hon

purpose, as the United States senior naval Off
Ger there, will be the protection of the lives
and property of American citizens. In case Of
civil war in the islands extend no aid nor sup
port, moral or physical, to any of the partses
engaged therein, but keep steadily in view
your duty TO protect the lives and property OF
all such citizens of the United States as shall
not by their participation in such civil commo-
tions forfeit their rights in that regard to the
protection of the American flag. An American
citizen who, during a revolution in foreign
country participated in any attempt OF
force of arms or violence TO maintain or
overthrow the existing Government, can
not claim that the Government of the
United States shall protect him against
the consequence of such act. Show these in
structions to and consult freely with the United
States Minister at Honolulu on all points that
may arise, seeking his opinion and advice
whenever practicable on the actual employ
ment of the forces under your command,
bearing in mind the diplomatic and political
interests of the United States are in his hands.
Afford him such aid in all emergencies as may
be necessary. Attention is called to article 287
of the United States navy regulations as
amended. Acknowledge by telegram.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10, 1895.
To Willis, Minister Honolulu: Although your
telegram reporting the uprising of January 6
does not indicate that you regard the presence

advisable that one proceed Immediately to
Honolulu for the protection of American citi-
zens and property should a contingency arise
requiring 1t. You, as our sole diplomatic rep
resentative, will confer with the command
ing officer as to the assistance which his in
structions contemplate in case of need.

CHARLES BARTLETTS TRICK.

Gained by Dupticity.

But He Wiu Not Hold the Place He
Gained by Dnpticity.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 20.-A bit of duplicity
was developed to-day which may cause
Charles Bartlett some trouble. At the in
stance of Assemblyman Dixon Charles
Barron was appointed assistant file clerk
at salary of $4 a day. 1t has developed
that Charles Bartlett went to the clerks
desk and represented that he was connected
with the railroad and that Speaker Lynch
had promised him place as assistant file
clerk. Then he went to the place where
the records of attaches are kept and had
the clerk strike off the name of Charles
Barron, getting his own substituted He
got himself sworn in and his name ap-
appeared on the journal. Speaker Lynch
says he does not know Bartlett, and never
promised him place. Assemblyman
Dixon will bring the matter up to-day.
Young Bartlett's name will be taken off
and the proper appointee, Charles Barron,
will be given the place. Young Bartlett,
who got himself fraudulently on the pay
roll, was at one time on the Governors s
staff, but was dismissed.

OF that island to Japan should such pro-
posal be made. 1t is a matter of course
that a heavy war indemnity should be
sought by Japan, and to this claim China
will be compelled to agree.
"What has been the effect of the war on
missionary work and on the Chinese gen.
orally and what is likely to be the effect
after the return of peace? For the most
part missionaries have remained in their
places In Peking and elsewhere through
out the land missionary work is carried
forward without obstruction. With the
common people, the labOring class, when
the war is over the matter will end there.
With them the. getting of their daily
bread is their daily concern, and they
leave national interests to the Government.
The Government, the literary classes and
the business men of China have been
taught a grand object lesson on
the futility of their old methods
and the necessity of adopting new ones.
Better lessons could hardly have been
given. In November last the writer in
passing through the city of Osaka was per-
mitted to visit the wounded Chinese pris-
oners. There were forty-nine of them in
all. They were quartered in the largest
temple in Osaka. japanese mattresses
were laid on the floor for them to sleep on.
They were furnished sufficient bedding and
abundant food. The best medical and sur
gical aid was afforded them, the surgeon
in-charge having received his medical edu-
cation in Berlin. They conversed freely
with me and seemed cheerful, happy and
very thankful. When we remember that
early in the war Chinese governor offered
100 taels for the head of japanese pri-
vate and double that amount for the head
OF an officer, such treatment of Chinese
prisoners by the Japanese is the more re-
markable"

Boston, Jan. 20.-The American Board
of Foreign Missions, representing Congre-
gational churches, knowing the value of
his opinions in the war between China and
Japan, has solicited an expression of them
from the Rev. Henry Blodgett, DID,, of
Peking, who has spent forty years in the
service of the board and thirty years in
Peking. He is now in this country. DIR.
Blodgett has responded to the request of
the board as follows:
Among the common people very little
is known regarding either the war or the
causes of the war or the facts occurring in
its progress, and the widest and most
absurd rumors are afoat. In Japan, on
the contrary, everything is published, and
some things that do not occur, in their
numerous newspapers, and their cities and
towns are Illuminated at every victory
over the Chinese. In consequence, partly
of this, the most intense enthusiasm for
the war prevails, even the boys and the
girls in their schools practicing military
drills.
On to Peking was the cry everywhere
as we passed through that country. Will
the Japanese reach Peking? They have
fought well and are very brave. They
have gained many victories They have
still great work before them. In early
January they had not taken Yingatu,
which is the port of New Chwang, and is
more than 800 miles by land northeast of

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 20.-There are now said
to be two sets of apostles in the Legisla-

Democratic twelve and outlined their prop
aganda in behalf of Congressman Mcguire.
Now the Congressman from the Seventh
District has following which does not
propose to be behind the Democrats in
doing honor to his colleague from the
south, and so they have arranged an
apostolic propaganda in the name OF
Bowers, and they, too, say they are twelve,
of whom Assemblyman R. c. Dale is chief.
1t is said that Thos. Flint Jr., president
pro tenn of the Senate is one of the twelve,
and that DR.. Charles T. Cargill OF San Juan
is another, but neither the Senator nor the
Assem- blymen from San Benito will dis
cuss their preference for the United States

1t is understood that the decision will
not deal with the real merits of the case
and will not give any opinion as to whether
the California Legislature had any right to
convey the Oakland waterfront to the city
or to dispose of it as it saw fit, or as to
whether the city had any right to convey

1t was contended by the plaintiff in this

that they should be held in trust for the

Assemblymen were receiving missives of

To Hon. Walter F. Price-DEAR SIR: May you
prosper in your efforts in behalf of honesty
and decency. The fellow, Lee Fairchild, is q
drunken hummer who is not even a resident of
California. He has registered at the Golden
Eagle half a dozen times in the last two weeks
as from Seattle, Wash The law plainly says
that none but citizens shall be employed in
the service OF the State. Yours respectfully,
]. H. CROSS.
Lee Fairchild replies to this in a sar-
castle vein. He states that he has been in
California more than year, but is not a
native son, though he adds he is native
son of two other States, claiming
Texarkana. on the Arkansas-Texas line,
and concludes with some pointed refer
ences to the danger of drinking Sacra-
mento River water.

The United States cruiser Philadelphia
sailed for Honolulu from this port at II
o'clock yesterday morning. 1t was ex-
pected that she would heave up her anchor
at daylight, being in readiness, as she was
for the forced run of over 1000 miles. The
orders, however, did not come from Wash
ington before, and while restlessly swing
ing at anchor many of the officers took
advantage of the wait to come to the land
ing at Washington-street wharf to bid
adieu to a large number of ladies and
gentlemen who had arrived to see the big
white fighter slide out.
There were many affectionate farewells
spoken and some tender partings, which
conveyed the impression that several of
the blooming San Francisco maidens
thought that the gallant boys in blue were
