PILOTS ON WARSHIPS.

His Presence Does Not Relieve the Com
manding Officer of Responsibility.
WASHINGTON, January 1O.-secretary
Herbert to-day issued general orders to
naval officers, reversing the former prac-
tice of the department regarding the re-
sponsibility of pilots on warships, which
will render it impossible hereafter to
shift the blame for an injury to a vessel
on the pilot, as was attempted in the
case of the Columbia last spring or the
Cincinnati last November. The order is
as follows:
"The accident to the United States
steamship Cincinnati upon the occasion
OF her striking ground on the eastern
side of the shoals to the south and west
of Execution Rocks lighthouse, Long
Island Sound, on November 16 last rem
ders it expedient that the department
promulgate to the service its views with
regard to the responsibility of pilots on
board vessels of the navy. A pilot is to
be considered merely as an adviser to the
commanding officer, and his presence on
board naval vessel shall not relieve the
commanding officer of such vessel or any
of his subordinates from full RESPONSE
bility for the proper performance of du-
ties with which they or any of them may
be charged concerning the navigation of
the vessel"

EMIGRANTS FOR HAWAII.
Nine Hundred Portuguese to be Taken
to the Island.

Nine Hundred Portuguese to be Taken
to the Island.
WASHINGTON, January 10.-Mr. Lorin
A. Thurston, the Hawaiian Minister to
the United States, returned to Washing
ton last night after an absence of three
months on special mission o Portugal.
The object of his visit was to obtain
emigrants for Hawaii, and in this he was
successful. A party of 900 Portuguese
will start for Hawaii January IL to aug
ment the 1000 of their countrymen al
ready there. The men who compose
the party are farm laborers, and will be
utilized principally in the coffee-grow-
ing industry. The labor supply of the
islands according to Thurston is entire
ly inadequate to the development OF the
interests now in progress. The govern
ment of Hawaii has furnished a steamer
to take these emigrants to their destina-
ton, and will bear the expense of the
Journey.
With reference to the condition of po-
litical affairs in the islands Mr.. Thurs
ton said the agitation against the gov
eminent has been carried on by few
malcontents, but has not resulted in
causing much uneasiness. The govern
ment, however, has put stop to it by
arresting Bush and others for conspir-
acy.
The Queens attorney, Neumann, has
taken the oath of allegiance and Mr..
Davies, guardian of Kiaulani, the heir
apparent to the throne, has announced
that in consequence of the recognition
OF the Hawaiian Republic by Great
Britain he no longer supports the pro-
ject to restore the Queen. Mr.. Wide
mann, one of the royalist commission
ers to Washington, also announced that
he recognized restoration as dead issue.

LAST YEARS SEALING.
The Catch of the British Columbian
Sealing Fleet.

The Catch of the British Columbian
Sealing Fleet.
WASHINGTON, January 10.-The State
Department has published an official re-
port from United States Consul Roberts
at Victoria on the seal catch of the Brit
ish Columbian sealing fleet last year.
The figures show the catch to be the
largest ever made in a single year, and
that the fear once entertained that the
hunters would be seriously handicapped
by the compulsory use of the spear has
been overcome. The total Canadian
catch was "a, 474, and of those taken in
Behring Sea 1l,705 were males and IA
636 females. The catch in 1898 was 20.
332. In addition this year 573 skins
taken by American schooners were
landed at Victoria, bringing the total
number of skins landed there to 95.O47.
The sealers took 48, 993 skins off the jan
anese coast, rs, 341 in Behring Sea, IL
7O5 off the British Columbian coast and
7.437 off Copper Island. An intimation
OF further claims against the United
States is found in the release of the
seized schooners Favorite and Wanderer
without any formal investigation and
the prompt filing by their masters with
collector Milne Of claims for damages.

VIII Represent the Engineers of the En-
tire Southern Pacific System.
SAN Francisco, January 1O.-A meet
ing of the Grievance Committee of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers of
the entire Southern Pacific system has
been called for the latter part of this
month, to be held here. This commit
tee has not been together for two wears,
and is called only when important action
affecting the brotherhood of the entire
SYST IL is to be taken. The last time it
met here its doings were very secret, but
it secured what it came for. That was a
restoration in part OF the wages which
the company had just cut. The fact
that the committee has been called to-
gether shows that the engineers have
not dropped the matter of wages. An
effort is now being made to settle the
differences between the brotherhood and
the American Railway Union, and has
been somewhat successful. The Ameri-
can Railway Union will in the 1 next

There May be a Contest Over Fairs
Will After All.
SAN Francisco, January 1.-THE will
of late ex-senator Fair will come up for
probate, and should no compromise be
made between the executors and heirs
the latter according to report are likely
to contest it. The only way to break
the will is to prove that the testator was
OF unsound mind or was unduly influ-
enced when making it. The physicians
who made the autopsy upon the body OF
Fair have not yet made any detailed
public reports of their examination.
They have stated that the causes Of
death were diabetes and Bright's dis
ease. They said little about the condi-
ton OF the brain except that it exceeded
the average weight. The question of
sanity promises to enter chiefly into a
contest over the will.

Railroad VIII Appeal.

SAN Francisco, January 9.-The deci-
sion of the Supreme Court that the Gem
trail Pacific must pay its taxes for 1887
will probably be appealed. Judging
from what the officials of the road say,
the basis upon which the appeal will be
made is that the Federal franchise has
been taxed, which gives the United
States Supreme Court jurisdiction. There
was manifest determination among the
railroad officials not to discuss the case,
but it is regarded as certain that an at
tempt to appeal to the Federal Supreme
Court will be made.

only this most urgent questions would be
considered.
MORE PORT ARTHUR CRITICISMS.
LONDON, January 10.-The Pail Mall
Gazette this afternoon, referring to the
massacre at Port Arthur, says: RE
sponsibility for the horror rests not with
the Japanese peasant, who everybody
knows is lacquered barbarian, but with
Marshal Oyama and his officers, whose
civilization protested to go little deeper.
Whether they permitted the outrages or
not, or were unable to check them, they
are unworthy of the command OF the
armies of power which calls itself civ
ilized."

THE RESULT OF NEGOTIATIONS

Consuming Country on the Globe
Details Remain to be Adjusted.
LONDON, January 10.-A Madrid dis
patch says that as a result of recent ne
gotiations minimum tariff has been
accorded to the United States by the
Spanish government upon exports from
the United States into Cuba and Porto
Rico.
SATISFACTORY CONCLUSION REACHED.
WASHINGTON, January 10.-As indi-
Gated in the cablegrams from Madrid
the negotiations between the State De-
partment and the government of Spain
looking to the restoration of the tariff on
American products entering Cuba and
Porto Rico have reached satisfactory
conclusion. 1t is true that some minor
details remain to be adjusted, but little
difficulty is expected in securing their
settlement. 1t appears that in conced-
ing to the United States the benefits of
the minimum tariff Spain has also Sc
cured substantial advantage. Her
West Indian colonies ordinarily supply
the United States with about rs per cent
of the sugar imported into the country.
Thus the sugar is liable to duty of one
tenth of cent per pound over and above
the 40 per cent duty imposed on Cuban
sugar, and in consequence the Cuban
planters practically receive portion
equal to the discriminating duty paid
by European sugars, and, it is believed,
will thus be able to control the market
of the greatest sugar consuming country
on the globe.

CHICAGO, January 1.-THE Japanese
government has submitted proposals to
the Illinois Steel Company to erect in
Japan steel plant capable of turning
out all the steel armor required by the
Japanese navy and all the steel rails
needed for government railway con-
struction. The plant is to involve an
outlay of between 100000 and $1O,-
100000. This money Japan will pay out
OF the indemnity secured from China.
e. E. Potter, secretary of the construc-
tion of Illinois steel at South Chicago,
left for Yokohama last night to consult
with the Japanese government on the
details of the plant. He will remain in
Japan until April. The Japanese pro-
pose to develop all their mineral re-
sources, and the railroads are intended
to connect the plant with the source oil
ore supply and the principal ports.
