NO TALK OF POLITICS
Hon. T. r. Walker, British
Vice-COnsul at Honolulu,
in the City.
He Is Accompanied by His Wife and
Daughter and Is Bound for
England.

Hon. T. r. Walker, the British Vice
Consul stationed at Honolulu, accom-
panied by his wife and daughter, was a
passenger by the steamer Moana,
which arrived in this city Tuesday

Mr.. Walker, who has been acting as
Consul-General since the death of
Major Hawes, which occurred last
August, is on six months leave of
absence and will leave for New York
next Wednesday, whence he will sail
for England.
When seen last night he said: MY
official position would preclude me
from speaking upon local politics no
might be in the premises.
THE matter of annexation now rests
with the United States Government.
The Cali editorial writer's appear to be
we'll informed as to affairs on the
island.
Besides holding an official position
I am engaged in the mercantile busi-
ness with 7. H. Davies, who up to a
short time ago was the guardian of
Princess Kaiulani.'
Speaking of the Princess, Mr.. Walk
er said: Her return to the island is
entirely unpolitical, her visit being pri-
vate to home and friends. She was
received with the utmost courtesy by
every one. She enjoyed her visit to
San Francisco very much"

BEAT ALL PREVIOUS RECORDS.
Millions Of Salmon Eggs Taken by
the Fish Commission.

The United States Fish Commiss;on's g
hatchery at Battle Creek in Tehama
County closed on last Monday, and
with it closed one of the most success
full seasons in the line of taking sal
mon eggs for propagating purposes in
the history of fish culture in this coun-
try. Since the beginning of the run Of
fish the crew, under the direction of
J. P. BabcOck, has taken As, ,527, 900 eggs
from the quinnat salmon. This is the
best run of work on record, for it ex-
ceeds the State take last year of the
combined hatcheries by 5000, 600 and
the former record of Battle Creek by
q 100000. In all 10000 salmon were
aiken and manipulated, the average OF
which was twenty-six pounds.
Heretofore the Battle Creek station
has only been an eying institution, but
this year it will be used for Matching
purposes. This large take of eggs will
be distributed as follows: Humboldt
station, 100000; Sissons, 16,0O0 900;
Bairds, 1000, 900; Olema, 1000 900; 6.OOO,-
600 went East yesterday in the United
States Fish Commissions car and the
remainder will be Matched at Battle
Creek. The latter will be placed in the
hatcheries at Cape Vincent, N Y, and
Bridgeport, Me. A small lot of 3O0O.-
900 will be sent to the hatchery at
CIackamas, Or.
The commission expects to success
fully plant over "a per cent of the take.
By natural spawning. it is. estimated
that at least "a per cent of the eggs
would be destroyed by the natural enc
mics Of the fish.

TWO RAILROAD
ACCIDENTS.
Engine, Running Tender Fore
most, Jumped the Track
Twice.
Some Experiments in Speed on the
Line From Gilroy to Castro
Vile.

Manager Fillmore may be right in
lis calculation that it is not safe to
run a Southern Pacific train with any
special degree of speed. The expert
ence of the company on the branch line
from Gilroy to Castroville seems to
Justify this view of the case. During
the past week two accidents have oc-
Cured on the branch. Last Sunday
the engine jumped the track, carrying
the forward end of the smoking-ca
off the track A similar accident oc-
Cured day before yesterday on the
same line. In both cases the accident
was caused by running the engine ten
der first. Perhaps there is no turn
table or "Y'' at CastrOville by which
the engine can be turned around and
placed head on for the run to Gilroy.
1t is just possible that the management
has some original ideas of operating a
branch line, holding to the theory that
an engine will last longer and not con-
sumo so much fuel by alternating the
position Of the locomotive. The dan
ger of derailment is certainly increased
by running with the tender in front,
especially is the danger great when the
tender is light and the engine itself
heavy.
These experiments in running an en-
gine backward TO facilitate passenger
travel if reported to the main office of
the company in San Francisco are not
made known to the public. Exclusive
reports may be made to c. P. Hunt
ingtOn, but no one in the yellow build
ing appears to know anything about
the engine jumping the track and the
delay to the passengers resulting from
the accident.
One of the delayed passengers re-
ports that the train was running last
Friday at a speed of forty miles an
hour, tender ahead when the locomo-
tive went into the ditch. AS twenty
four miles an hour is the average
speed on the main line from Ogden to
San Francisco with the engine running
cowcatcher first it must be considered
that the swift running on the Gilroy
and CastrOville branch is an alarming
flight AS the passengers are talking
about the high speed and the accidents
the company might as we'll let the pub
lie have the news.

HOW KEEL WON 1T.
Ruse That Secured a Game from
Detroit Years Ago.

Kid Weidman tells the Boston Her
aid man this good baseball story:
The game was played between the
Chicagoes and Detroits at Detroit. The
score was and in the ninth and the
Whites had their last turn at the bat.
Weidman was pitching and Charlie
Bennett was the backstop. Kelly beat
out a hunt and Ed. Williamson put
Weidie in the hole for base on balls.
Kel and Ed started away on a double
steal and made it, Kel slid over the
base, ordered the umpire to call time
and walked down to Ed. Williamson,
with his face puckered as though in
pain, and his left arm in his right fist.
For pity sake, Ed, pull my arm; I
believe 1t Is out of joint" sail Kel, as
he approached Williamson.
What else Kel said to Williamson
was found out after the game from
Kel himself. "As soon as Weidman
raised his arm to pitch I'm going to
make break for home and you follow
me-" whispered Kel to Ed. 'Ill sneak
UP that line and you come behind me-
They will play for me. When I am a
few feet from the home base I'll strad-
die and you slide under my legs"
Kel returned to third, still nursing
his arm, and Wddman thought that
Mike was seriously hurt.
This ruse Of Kel threw Weidman off
his guard and when Mike shot up the
line he was so paralyzed at his impu-
dence that he feinted a couple of times
before passing the ball to Bennett.
This moment Of hesitation gave Kelly
time to get within ten feet of the home
plate before Bennett got the ball. Up
the line, at Kels heels, tore William
son, who, so he said after the game,
cut he third sack by fifteen feet,
through Weidman and Bennett, and
that the umpires We're blind to the
trick. At any rate, Williamson was
at Kel's heels before Bennett and
Weidman awoke from their astonish-
ment, and of a sudden Kel spread him
| self. Williamson ducked under the
arch made by Kel's legs and crawled
to the plate and made the winning
run.
