CURRENT COMMENT.
ONE OF THE LESSONS.
boston Transcript. J

Among the lessons Taught by the loss
of the steamer Portland is THAI lists OF
passengers should be made in duplicate,
one Of the copies to be left behind at the
sailing port, in order when a steamer is
wrecked. that people may know whether
their kindred or friends we're or were not
on board. All that is necessary is that
passengers be required to register before
going on board, and this might easily be
arranged,
THE LOSS OF THE PORTLAND. g
(Boston Transcript
As everybody on board the Portland
persisted and as the steamer has been al
most literally torn to pieces. we shall
never know the exact occasion Of her be-
ing 80 far off her course as to bring up on
the outer side of the horn of Cape God.
II tho engines broke down at critical
moment when the steamer. though labor
ing heavily, still had many chances in
her favor, and she began to drift help.
lessly, tho sea will never tell us. In d e.
fault OF evidence many theories may be
set up to account for the disaster happen
ing after the Portland had made good
progress Us far rs Eastern Point. of
which sho was seen prcssedtng quite

steadily only two hours after leaving her

steadily only two hours after leaving her
TIE supposition is perfectly natural
that If her captain could havs made q
harhor in that vicinity after passing
Eastern Point he would have done so.
From that place and time muss have be-
gun the chain of events which ended in
the Portland dashing herself to pieces on
the sand bars of Cape Cod. But after all
allowances are made for the possibility
of accidents on board the Portland. it
must be said that the responsibility of her
being at sea at all Saturday night was
an error on the part Of her captain, for
which he paid with his life. He had au-
thority in terms almost equivalent to an
order to remain at Boston Saturday
night. This message was sent to him
from the owners in Portland before six
O'CLOCK, coupled with the Information
that the up boat would not sail for Bos-
ton. The captain of the Portland went
to sea after receiving this message. 1t is
difficult to undertand what motive can
have aotuated him in SO doing, unless it
was professional pride grown into over
confidence He was not the regular COM
mander OF the steamer. In fact, he was
sort of spare captain and was, in a meas
ure, on his probation. He may have be-
lieved that the opportunity had presented
itself to him to make record as a DARING
He may have seen himself berthing the
steamer at Portland harbor, amidst the
admiration of all the sailors of the Mace
On no other superstition can We account
for his taking steamer built solely for
a short coastwise trip to sea in tempest
wherein she would run the risk of being
blown far out into the open ocean.
In such predicament the Portland,
with her immense paddle boxes and her
ranges of staterooms right above the wat
er, was adapted to being literally
shouldered over by a wind that should
catch her as she rolled and labored.
COMPLETE AND GRAPHIC STORY.
portland Adyertiser.)
No finer stroks of newspaper enterprise
has been seen in o long time than the
despatch by the Portland PRESS of a
mem her of it's staff on the cutter Wood
bury to the scene of the Portland wreck;
and no such complete and graphic story
of tho disaster has been told as the one
related in the columns of that paper
this morning by Lieut.. Harry M. Bigelow
late of the naval reserves on the Montauk.
Newspaper men usually work behind
the veil of anonymity, but in this case
1t seems proper that the veil should be
lifted and due credit given. Mr.. Bigelow
was fortunate in his opportunities for
OF seryation, and he made the most of
them. He visited Gloucester and Prov
incetown and saw much of the worst
effects of the storm. Proceeding across
tha Cape from Provincetown to Peaked
Hill Bar station, he was the first news
paper man to investigate personally that
part of the outer coast from Race Point
to Nauset, where the wreckage and
bodies are coming ashore, and the first
to bring to hand a detailed account.
Not little of the Information thus
pluckily and luckily secured is of value
as throwing light on the disaster and
instruoting friends of the lost what to do
to help on the work Of identi tication.

QUAY TO BE TRIED.

Philadelphia, December In the court
OF quarter sessions today in the conspira-
cy case of United States Senator Quay
and others, Judge Finletter dismissed
counsel against the five indictments
found by the grand jury, and fixed De-
cember as the date for the beginning
of the trial.
The record-union., 1898-02-25

goes wrong they blame the observers
and forecasters. and when things come
their way they give these useful offic-
ials credit therefor.
Therefore the rain that was showering
twenty dollar pieces into the laps of
the grangers yesterday was very graf
flying to Observer Barwick, but that
was not all he had to be grateful for.
He had just received a telegram from
Chief Willis Moore at Washington in
forming him that the order assigning
him to duty at Lansing, Mich, had at
his request been reconsidered. and that
he might remain in charge of the Sac
ramento station.s
1t seems that recently Mr.. Barwick
had received notice of such a change,
and he lost no time in pleading with
Chief Moore to be allowed to remain
here where he had become acciimated
and where his health was better than
it could possibly be in the cold and
bleak Northwest.
Why" said he to the reporter, Il
couldn't live in that climate now I've
been seventeen years in Sacramento,
and my health is good here. I'm not
as young as | used to be, however, and
know l could never endure the cold
winters back in Michigan. l assure
you 1 feel very grateful to Mr. Moore
for resembling that ORDER
And it can be said that the people Of
Sacramento also feel very grateful to
MIR. Moore. They would about as soon
think of having the Capitol or the
Government building removed from
here as to have Barwick taken away.
They have come to regard him as one
of the fixed institutions of the city, and
to remove him now would doubtless be
regarded as amounting to a declaration
of war.

THEY HAD NO TROUBLE
The J. T. Jones Running Team Did
Themselves Proud AT BesIaire

ho haS always DSeu the case
whenever Sistersville people started
out to do anything they always
come away with the laurels and it
was so with the running team of
the ]. I. Jones Hose company
which went up to Bellaire for the
purpose Of taking first money in
the non association races, and they
did so. The race which was run
in the afternoon yesterday was a
good one and there was a large
crowd present to witness it.
All of the Sistersville boys were
on their mettle and they were there
for no other purpose than to win,
no matter what the record made by
the opposing team. The Mounds
vile team had the preference and
made the Rrst run. The distance
covered was $50 feet and each tean}
was to string 200 feet of hose.
The Moundsville boys made a
good run and finished up in pretty
goo1 shape, but they were not in it
by couple of seconds with the
Sistersviils team. Moundsville
made the distance, strung the hose
and made the connections in 3SM
seconds, while the time of the Sis
tersyille team was 56H seconds.
Th<eo Hoenes, the we'll known
young barber, who Is employed
under the First Nation al Bank, was
the man who made the winning
connsction, and as SCOT as 1t be-
came known that tbs, Si&teTsville
team had won the race he was,
hoisted mp onto the shoulders of
the boys and carried about the
town. The boys W ere jast having
a warm Old time yesterday and last
night and, N fact, ever since they
have been there.
