SEATTLE, December 12.-There is
every likelihood that the departure of
the schooner Alton for IIilo this week
means the initial voyage of n line of
sailing vessels plying regularly be-
tween Seattle and that port. Attor-
ney John p. Fay, owner of the Alton.

San Francisco i'm a couple of weeks to
arrange for her return cargo, and
while he is i'm California will arrange
to charter another sailing vessel of
1000 tons. to leave here for Hawaii
early in the year.
Mr.. Fay said yesterday that he had
every confidence in the future trade
with the Hawaiian Islands from this
port, if it was properly attended to-,
and that he believed the only safe
method was to start with sailing YES
sells. which made the cost of operating
relatively small He owns all the
cargo of the Alton, and will pursue
the same course with future ship
ments to Hawaii, for the reason that
there is not money enough i'm freightS

The Alton will go to Whatcom,
probably next Thursday, to take on
100000 shingles, and 1000 boxes of APP

She will take ON a return cargo for

as effective as seasickness in making a

ger who Tries TO Evade Them.
From the New York Home Journal.
The fee system Is more rigldly enforced
on big passenger steamship than any
where else. 1t is one of the places where
servants demand their fees, and tell you
the amount that they think you ought 10
give them. While the walters at restau-
rants and hotels expect fees for their SER
vices and VIII hint and may perhaps make
II embarrassing for you II they are not
paid, they have not gone so far as 10 tell
you that they want fee and prescribe
the amount Even porters do not do that
They come around, brush your coat and
hat, and run the whisk over your trousers
but II is seldom that they ask you for any
money, let alone a specified amount.
On the passenger steamers the stewards
regard their fees as a matter OF right as
much as the steamship company regards
your passage money. II Is possible to
avoid paying the fees, as they are not col
lectible by law, but the passenger who
does not pay them win have trouble In
getting his luggage off the steamer, and II
would be well for him TO keep off steam
ers afterward where any of the servants Of
that boat are employed. The stewards
seem 10 have some sort OF fee guide book
or blacklist of passengers who do not give
fees, so that they can make them suffer
on future trips. Certain fees are regularly
fixed and expected, irrespective Of the cost
of the stateroom or the style in which
a man travels, while certain other fees
depend on the style. For an ordinary pas
senger there are fees TO be given 10 the
stateroom steward the saloon steward.

room as about 10 shillings. The steward
who waits on you at the table should re-

for bringing you an occasional drink and
looking after your steamer chair and ruge
expects shillings, but he viii take halt

poets 3 shillings, and, IL you are in the
smoking room a great part of the trip, he
feels that he Is entitled to as much as
