TUTTLE'S TELEGRAM

TUTTLES TELEGRAM
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Secretary
Gage received the following telegram
from Captain Tuttle, in command of the
Bear, at Seattle, Wash:
Repairs to boiler, air pump, bridge
walls and docking vessel cost $1,000. Be
fore Bear can reach st. Michaels the
bay will be frozen over. Vessel cannot
winter at st. Michaels as the ice would
carry it away. There is no harbor north
of Unalaska that does not remain froz-
en- until late in June. Bering Straits is
closed by ice in November and remains
so until June. The whalers at Point
Barrow are within six miles of the
point, and within eighteen miles of the
former refuge station. / understand
from Captain McGregor, of the steam
whaler Karluk, that Liebes, agent at the
refuge station, has about three hundred
barrels of -four With this and the
provisions of five vessels there should
be no starvation. Those frozen in at
Demarkation Point have supply station
at Herschel Island to fall back upon.
While 1t will probably be necessary to
abandon their vessels I do not appro-
hend the crews will meet with anything
worse than privations and hardships.
The Bear can be ready to start in two
weeks. There is plenty Of coal at Una
laska. 1 can see no way of rendering
assistance until the ice opens in July"
Not withstanding the almost hopeless
ness of the task as indicated by Capt.
Tuttle, Capt. Shoemaker chief of the
revenue cutter service, gave orders for
the immediate repair of the Bear with
q view to being ready for sea at the
earliest possible moment.
Point Barrow, near where the ice
bound whalers are supposed to be- is
about 1900 miles north of Alaska.
' WHALERS IN PORT
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.-Up to to-
day thirteen whalers and four tenders
have arrived from the Arctic In all
they brought 5416 barrels of oil, 141. .076
pounds of whalebone and 549S pounds of
ivory, besides a large quantity Of furs.
"A conservative value of what has come
down is $750,O00. Some of the vessels
caught in the ice are bare. Others have
number of whale to their credit, but
there is no chance of their reaching
San Francisco this season.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-The cabinet
today gave considerable attention to
the ice-bound Bering sea whale fleet.
Two plans have been decided upon
one to send the Bear from Seattle, which
cannot be got ready for two weeks, and
another to send the Thrasher the whal-
ing vessel now at San Francisco. This
latter determination was reached after
the receipt of a telegram by Secretary
Long from the commandant of Mare
Island Navy Yard. The Thrasher can
be provisioned at once and sent i'm
mediately on her mission. 1t is stated
that there is a very good supply of pro-
visions at Point Barrow and another
supply at Herschel Island. and at least
three vessels well supplied with pro-
visions will winter in the Arctic.
The information laid before the cab
met today as basis for it's action in the
matter Of relieving whalers in Bering
sea was contained in the following tele-
gram:
MARE ISLAND, Cal, Nov. s, 1897
Secretary of the Navy, Washington. d.
c.: Captain Barker reports as fallows:
Captain Devell of whaling steamer
Orcha, Freeman, Belvidere and Rosario,
were at Point Barrow on September 18th
with about 100 men. These are now prob
ably closed in by ice near that place. The
whaling steamers Newport. Fearless
Jeannie and Wanderer were at Herschel
island August 26th with about 115 men.
"All above vessels expected to return
this fall and had only about three
months rations. Besides above ships
there were several vessels at Herschel
provisioned for one year and two and
three years, prepared to stay in the Arc
tic and intending to sail soon for the
vicinity of the mouth of the Copper
river to winter.
captain Devell says there are about
400 barrels of flour at Point Barrow. He
does not think there will be any starving
among whalers this winter, though they
may be on greatly reduced rations.

Weighty Matter.

Officer Bachelor, who is the chief
inspector OF weights and measures
has returned lately from a trip to
the "big" Island, and, in a short
conversation had with him he stated
that there was no reason now for
purchasers OF weighed goods to
have any fear of the scales or weights
within the confines Of Hawaii. The
Inspector said also that as a rule he
found the scales Of standard manu-
factnrers were but little "out," yet
there was a nondescript class OF
scales which we're "way off" To the
credit OF Marshal Brown it must be
said that the interest he personally
takes, in this department OF his
Bureau rebounds to the public
good, especially when it is stated
some Of the local scales we're found
to differ from 2 to 2S0 lbs. in the
thousand, from the U. S. Standard.

If the Jewel stove had not
met with popular favor in Homo
lulu, we would not have ordered
the second time. Since we open
ed business in our present
quarters, less than fourteen
months ago, we have sold 400
Jewel stoves. By the w. H.
Dimond which arrived on Thurs
day, we received 100 of different
sizes. 1t constitutes one car
load direct from the factory;
another lot will be here in q
week.
This is without exception. the
greatest fuel saver that has ever
been imported to the Islands.
The JEWEL is made on the
best stove principles and saves
money to the purchaser. They
are low in price and made to
wear-every piece of the stove
may be duplicated and in this
way it will last forever. 1t is
cheaper to buy a single casting
than a whole stove.
We sell them for cash, allow
ing 3 percent discount. We also
sell them, as before on the con-
tract system, the purchaser pay
ing one-third in cash, the balance
in five equal monthly payments.
