MANY sailors believe that the frigate
bird can start at daybreak with the
trade winds from the coast of Africa
and roost the same night upon the
American shore. Whether this is a
fact or not has yet to be determined,
but it is certain that the bird is the
swiftest of winged creatures, and is
able to fly, under favorable conditions,
200 miles an hour.

fish, perhaps eight or ten inches long,

frisky as if just removed from its sup

THE MARIA TERESA.
Constructor Hobson Reports the
Warship Hopeless Wreck.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Construc-
tor Hobson arrived in Washington to-
day from Norfolk, and came direct to
the Navy Department. He has just
returned from his trip on the Vulcan
to Cat Island, the scene of the cast
ing away of the Maria Teresa. He
brought with him the report of Cap
tain McCalla, who was in charge of
the expedition sent on the Vulcan to
endeavor to save the vessel.
The report is merely an elaboration
of his story of the journey and it's re-
suits contained in the telegraphed re-
port to the department, and where it
touched upon the condition of the Te-
resa makes the wreck appear even
more hopeless than even Captain Nc
Calais telegram. And this statement
was strongly reinforced by Constructor
Hobson's verbal report to Acting Sec
retary Allen to-day.
Captain McCalla resumes his duties
as Captain of the Norfolk Navy Yard.
Constructor Hobson goes to Annapo-
lis to take up the direction of his
course in naval architecture. He was

endeavoring to raise the Colon, but the

ments that made this impracticable.

to restrain the monster, and this was
the support that little Miss Lucille
Gage, daughter of the Governor-elect
Of the State, had been assigned to re-
move by means of guillotine and the
inevitable electric button.
AT a given signal the little miss press
ed the button and the crash of break
ing timbers announced to the thousands
of anxious spectators that the vessel
was about to leave the ways.
Slowly the iron monster moved TO-
ward the bay, and all eyes turned to
watch Miss Elizabeth Stephenson break
the bottles of champangen upon the
bow of the vessel Just as the mass
of iron and steel touched the water the
fair christener raised the ribbon be-
decked bottles and let them split on the
nose of the vessel. The roar of ap-
plause which greeted this final act was
almost deafening.
The vessel gathered momentum as
she proceeded to the water. and after
leaving the ways f1oated calmly along
until brought to stop in the basin
where the work of completing her will
go on.
Prior to the launching a gigantic flag
of the Union, measuring twenty-seven
feet long and fourteen feet wide was
presented in honor of the Wisconsin.
The flag was the result of the com
bined efforts of 800 children of the Iry-
ing NJ Scott public school. who at the
suggestions of their teachers. com
menced work upon the flag on October
26th of this year
Following the presentation of the flag
the following poem to the Wisconsin
was read by Miss Clara la Price. its
author:

U. S. MARINES ON CHINESE SOIL.
THE CRUISER BOSTON LANDS
MEN AT TIEN-TSIN.
Are to Be Sent to Pekin to Act as a
Guard for the United
States Legation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The Unit
ed States navy has landed marines in
China. A dispatch was received at the
Navy Department to-day stating that
the Captain of the Boston had landed
his marine guard at Tien-Tsin. The
dispatch was taken Immediately to the
White House by Acting Secretary Al
len. Secretary Hay was called into
consultation, with the result of reas-
suring the officials and allaying their
first feeling of apprehension
1t seems that the marines were land
ed, not because of any information of
rioting or attacks upon American mis-
sionaries, but solely to act az guard
for the United States Legation at
Pekin. The Boston was dispatched TO
the mouth of the Pie Hoe River several
week ago at the instance of United
States Minister Conger, to provide a
guard for the Legation. The Minister
represented that nearly all of the Le-
cations of the European Powers were
provided with marine guards, and he
did not care to be exceptional in this
case.
After lying at Tangu for awhile, the
Boston worked her way up the river
to Tien-TSin, about the head of nayf-
cation for vessels of her class, and dis
tant about fifty or sixty miles from
Pekin. 1t is believed at the Navy
Department that the marines will be
sent forward from that point in
launches or small river boats.
Captain Frank Wilder, the command
er of the Boston, who reported the
landing to the Navy Department by
cable, did not state how MANY mon
were in the guard, but the force is
not believed to exceed two dozen men.
The presence of these foreign guards
is not welcome to the Chinese Govern
ment When the landing was first pro-
posed its representatives sought to dis
suade the United States Government
from inflicting this humiliation upon
1t. The effect was to cause a suspen-
sion of the purpose, but as has already
been stated, most of the European Le-
cations have provided themselves with
guards, and the Chinese, having be-
come reconciled to their presence no
longer object in our case
Advices that reach the State Depart
ment do not indicate an Immediate
outbreak in China. But the reaction
ary policy of the Empress Dowager
has caused a very uneasy feeling and
may afford one or more of the Euro
pean Powers who have been active in
Eastern affairs pretext for making
a coup. with results affecting the in
terests of the United States.

COSTA RICA's EXECUTIVE.
Iglesias Has a Long Conference

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-President
Mckinley had an extended conference
with President Iglesias of Costa Rica
to-day.
President Inglesias was accompanied
to the White House by Minister Calvo
of Costa Rica and several of his staff.
AS soon as a conference between Gen
eral Miles and President Mckinley was
ended, President Iglesias and Minister
Calvo were admitted They were the
only ones present at the conference,
which lasted two hours a much longer
time than President Mckinley usually
devotes to single visitor, and was
evidently more of a business visit than
a social meeting.
Immediately following the conference
at the White House, President Iglesias
and Minister Calvo went to the State
Department, where they had quite a
long talk with Secretary Hay.

NO "OPEN DOOR, IN HAWAII.
OUR TARIFF LAWS EXTEND TO
THE ISLANDS.
Senator Cu1Iom Preparing the Re-
port Which is to be Sub
mitted to Congress.

CHICAGO, Nov. pa special to the
Tribune" from Washington says:
Senator Cullom is preparing the re-
port of the Hawaii Commission, and
will submit it to the President for
transmission to Congress, SO that it
will be ready at the opening of the
session.
The Senator declines to give details
as to the character of the report, but
from other sources it was learned that
the report as finally drafted will pro-
vide for a partial continuance of the
present Government in the islands un-
der direct Federal supervision. There
will be a Senate of fifteen members
and a House of double that number.
which is an increase on the present
House membership of Hawaii. There
will be a graded qualification of suf-
frage Members of the House may be
elected by voters who pass an edu-
cational test alone, while members of
the Senate will be chosen by voters
possessing both educational and prop
erty qualifications. There is now a
property qualification for voting in
Hawaii, but the proposed form of gov
ernment will reduce this somewhat,
so as to furnish an inducement for
small holdings. There will be educa-
tional and property restrictions in re-
gard to holding office, the qualifications
for which will be closely defined.
There will be no open doorway in
Hawaii. The tariff laws of the United
States will be extended to the islands
without alteration, because Hawaii
was formally annexed to the United
States by statute law, and any other
course would unquestionably be op-
posed by the the Supreme Court
The present Supreme Court for the
islands, whose members hold their
place for life, is to be continued, and
to be given Jurisdiction of local laws,
whose force will also be continued as
far as possible. as they have been
taken by law from the statute books
of different States in the Union, and
are as a whole quite acceptable.
The immigration, labor and general
election laws of the United States will
be specifically extended to the islands.
These will keep out further importa-
tion of coolies The islands will have
a Delegate in the House of Representa-
tives, who will have no vote, but will
have the same privileges as the Rep
resentatives of Arizona, New Mexico
and Oklahoma The Governor and
some of the higher Territorial officers
will be appointed by the President
The Legislature will have consider
able control over local taxation and
expenditures, but the restriction of the
suffrage on educational and property
lines will, of course, reduce the num-
Der Of voters to point relatively far

tee was that the ship was in good
seaworthy condition, and that Captain
Griffith was in good health at the time

presses admiration of the efforts that
had been made to save those on board

The commission also found that the
great loss of life was due to the ex-
tinction of the electric lights on the
steamer after she went ashore.
