PORTLAND, Or, Dec. 10. - United
States lightship No. 20 will be launched
from the ways of Wolff & Sewicker's yard
at IL o'clock tomorrow morning. The
vessel has been ready for the water for
some time, but the water has not been
ready for her. Recent rains, however,
have swollen the river until now there is
ample depth off the ways.
The ceremony of launching will be SIM
pie. Miss Dorcas Merrell daughter of
Commander John P. Merrell, inspector of
the Thirteenth Lighthouse District, will
break the bottle over the ships bows and
christen her Lightship No. 70 She has
no other name, although the words "San
Francisco Harbor." the name of her sta
ton, will be painted on her sides in let
ters as tall as a man. As the launching of
so large a vessel is by no means a common
spectacle in Portland, a big crowd will
probably be on hand, even though the
rains descend and the floods come, which
from present indications both are very
likely to do.
number of workmen were employed
to-day making the ship ready for her
plunge. The cradle was com pleted, the
ways cleared and the last work on the
bottom of the vessel was finished. All
that will remain tomorrow will be to
knock out the shores, break the bottle
and "let her slide." The river is wide
enough to give her plenty OF room to lose
her way, but steamer will be waiting to
receive her and catch her before he rapid
current bears her down 10 the Morrison
street bridge.
Lightship No. 20 is much nearer COM
pletion than was her sister ship No. 81
when she was launched at Steffe1s yard
on May s. All her decks are in and all OF
her machinery except her main boiler.
The subdivisions for use of officers and
crew ave been made below, and even the
anchor swings from the port hawser hole.
Electricians have been busy for several
weeks putting in the two dynamos which
will supply the lights at her mastheads
are required to light the entire vessel.
Carpenters, loiners, steam filters, painters
and coppersmitks have also been busily
at work and have nearly finished their
la bors.
After Der plunge the ship will be taken
to the wharf at the rear of the machine

which IN accordance with Hawaiian law
is sufficient to intiict the death penalty.
The law also provides that in cases of
conviction for capital crime forty ut

and the sentence. AS the current term of

fore sentence can be passed upon Kapea

their sentences have been suspended.
Upapa, convicted of being an accessory
after the fact, was sentenced to-day to i'm
prisonment with hard labor for three
years and to pay costs by way of a fine.
Rathburn was acquitted.
A point is raised by certain lawyers that
inasmuch as the Government declared
that the 9Th should be the national holI-
