SERIOUS DEFECTS IN THE PORTER.
REPORT on THE TORPEDO BOAT MADE BY
CuIEF CONSTRUCTOR HICHRORN

A REPORT on THE TORPEDO. BOAT MADE BY
CHIEF CONSTRUCTOR HICHBORN.
Washington. May 10 (speciaD.--Assstant secre-
tary Roosevelt has referred to Commander Con-
vcrse an official report from Chief Constructor
IIichborn in which It IL said that the torpedo boat
Porter is defective in certain features of design and
construction Mr. Roosevelt desires counter
statement from Commander Converse. The COM
mander superintended the building Of the Porter
ot the Hcrreshoffs' yard In his report Chief Con-
strtctor Hichborn says that an examination OF the
Porter shows that she Is not UP to requirements
I'm several important particulars. Tho vessel has
becn inspected by Constructor Bovles and other
members OF the Constructors Corps II IL the
official statements these officers have submitted
that Mr. fIichborn makes his report lie charges
that the Porter Ia seriously out OF trim. that the
inside of the hull is merely painted not galvanized
and that she Is lacking In strength In certain parts
The matter OF being out OF trim IL said 10 be a
point deserving careful attention. The departure
from the true trim line is given two feet.
AZ n result when steamng fast the bow OF the
vessel IL too much out OF water. and thc rtern too
deeplv Immersed. chief Constructor Hichborn
thinks the boats squattlng at the stern decreases
her usefulness in rivers and all shallow bodies OF
water She will draw too much water at this point
10 be able 20 steam In many streams and harbors
where her services may be required Mr.. Iiichborn
is of the opinion that being much out OF trim,
the Porter is seriously defective. AS TO painting
the interior OF the hull instead OF galvanzlng the
plates he says that this IL a mistake. The action
of the bllge-water will corrodc the plates which
thin. and paint cannot be counted upon to pre-
better results. Mr. Hichborn says 1t Is now too
late remedy this defect but he nevertheless calls
show to be unfortunate omission in the con-
sruc!ion OF the Porter The vessel was built on

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-09-17

The complete success of the Ad-
vertiser's anti annexation policy is
evidenced, on its own showing, by
the anti-annexationists expecting
that it will publish their lucubra-
tions. No one need be surprised
that anti, annexationis,s should
think that their views would be en-
dorsed by the morning journal,
since, for a time, at least, it supplied
them with excellent material to
further their cause. But why pause
now? A Japanese anti-annexation
letter appeared in its columns only
few days ago. Surely it would be
but justice to let the mugwump
American have his say. But, there,
1t slipped ones memory, the Ad-
vertiser is not alone anti-annex-
zionist at times, but is distinctly
pro-Asiatic, and would naturally
give its pets of the rising sun a
chance to talk, when it would refuse
even mugwump American. From
paper which mouined over the
humiliations and restrictions"
which would come upon the Chinese
in the event of annexation, nothing
else could be expected.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-09-17

but that is regarded as a minor
crime, because everybody tries to
shirk his burdens from the state, if
he possibly can. To get the better
of the government i'll money mat
tiers is innate in human nature, and
it is a trick which increases as
wealth increases, SO that the wealthy
of a state always strive to pay
less than their due proportion Of
burdens, and very frequently sue
coed in carrying out what they
desire.
But it is not only the government
that is wronged, a mans fellow
citizens are wronged. Say lady
brings in a couple or so pieces of
silk. The dry goods store, where
she usually trades, is wronged, The
owner of the store has to pay duty
on his goods, and what you would
have had to buy of him, you buy
elsewhere and then dishonesty get
it into the country and thus get a
dress or whatever it NAV be cheaper
than he can sell it. Jewelry is a
favorite article to smuggle in, but
to do so is wronging the owners of
the jewelry stores, and it is no
wonder that both they and the dry
goods sellers complain. In nearly
all such cases, moreover, the people
who smuggle or have the goods
Struggled for them, are amply able
to pay the duties. If you want to
buy your goods abroad, why by all
means do it, but be honest at least
with the trader who strives to make
living in Our midst, and pay the
same duties that he has to.
The chances are that not one
person in a hundred OF those Snug
Cling goods have any idea that there
is any dishonesty in their actions,
or that they are in the slightest
degree wronging their fellow citi-
zens. II is to be presumed that the
average citizen, especially the
female part of it, look upon custom
house duties much as the preacher
looks upon the game laws. They
are very good laws, and they look
very we'll upon the statute book,
but they are merely made to be
broken, and so customs duties are
merely imposed to be evaded. And
yet, after all, when you come to
think Of it, Mrs. Montressor who
smuggles in a silk dress or a
diamond necklace, or ring, has
put herself on level with OPIUM
Brown.

SMUGGLING.

1t is difficult to make people
understand the dishonesty of petty
smuggling and yet it is very dis
honest, Smuggling on large scale
is readily regarded as a crime. So
when tradesman is discovered to
have been importing silks in cases
which are supposed to contain un-
dutiable articles, why if he gets a
heavy fine or turn on the reef
every one is satisfied that Justice
has been done. If an opium haul
is made, why those people are clear
ly wrong, and Jail is only too good
for any one connected with the
attempt.
On the other hand see the glee
with which the very same people
who condemn smuggling on large
scale tell of how they 81 pped some
small article ashore under the very
eyes of the customs officers. Parti-
cularly is this the case with articles
of luxury, laces, silks, jewelry and
so forth. The wrong done is a
double one.
OF course the Governm .nt is
cheated out ofits legitimate revenue,
