Report of Capt. McCaua.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26-Construc-
tor Hobson arrived in Washington to-
day from Norfolk and came direct to
the navy department. He has Just re-
turned from his trip on the Vulcan to
cat island, the scene of the casting
away of the Maria Teresa He brought
with him the report of Capt. McCalla,
VINO was in charge of the expedition
sent on the Vulcan to endeavor to save
the vessel. The report Is merely an
elaboration of the history Of the jour-
ney and its results already contained
to the telegraph report to the depart
ment, and, where it touches upon the
condition Of the Teresa, makes the
wreck appear even more hopeless than
Capt McCalla's telegram And his
statement was strongly reinforced by
Constructor Hobson's verbal report to
Acting Secretary Allen today. Capt.
McCalla resumes his duties as captain
OF the Norfolk navy yard Construc-
tor Hobson goes to Annapolis to take
up the direction of his course in naval
architecture. He was DESTROYS of re-
turning to Santiago and endeavoring
TO raise the Colon, but the department.

MARINES ON GUARD
AMERICAN Blu EJACKETS LAND
FROM THE BOSTON AT
TIEN TSIN
JUST TO BE IN FASHION
Other Powers Have Guards for
Their Embassies and the United
States Did Not Wish to- BE an Ex-
ceptiOn - Secretary Hay Says
There Is Nothing Sensational In
the MOve-NO Outbreak.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The Unit
ed States navy has landed marines in
China A dispatch received at the navy
department today stated that the cap
tain of the Boston had landed his
marine guard at Tien Tsin7 The dis
patch was taken Immediately to the
White house by Acting Secretary AL
len. -
Secretary Hay was called into con-
sultation with the result of reassuring
the officials and allaying their first
feeling of apprehension. 1t seems that
the marines We're landed, not because
of any information Of rioting or at
tacks upon American missionaries, but
solely to act as a guard for the United
States legation at Pekin.
The Boston was dispatched to the
mouth of the Pie Ho river several
weeks ago, at the instance of United
States Minister Conger, TO provide a
guard for the legation. The minister
represented that nearly all of the Legal
lions of the European powers were pro-
vided 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 naviga-
ton for vessels Of her class, and dis
tant about fifty or sixty miles from
Pekin. 1t Is believed at the navy de-
partment that the marines will be sent
forward from that point In launches or
small river boats.
Capt. Drank Wildes, the commander
Of the Boston, who reported the land
ing to the navy department by cable,
did not state how many men were In
the guard, but the force is not believ
ed to exceed two dozen men.

letter:

Metals Get Tired.

Metals get tired. That is the outcome of
careful observations by a number of seien-

behave quite differently after having been

Decision of the New York Court of
Appeals on .'SeaIping."

Appeals ''SeaIping."
Referring to the decision of the New York
court Of appeals declaring the ant-ticket
scalping law OF that state to be unconstitu-
tional. the Chicago Times Herald says ed
itorially:
-Inasmuch as three Of the judges dissented
from this decision and inasmuch as every
court. decided I'm favor OF the law, 1t cannot
be said that the ticket brokers have thor
oughly established their right to traffic in
railway tickets The court ignores
the main contention Of the railways upon
which they base their appeal for relief II
the ticket broker confined his operations TO
purchasing unused tickets OF passengers and
selling them at a discount the railways would
make no protest. But this is very small
portion of the ticket brokers' business. This
is not the source OF his profit. II Is in his
car acity as an agent for the purchase or
cut rate tickets from railways that secretly
violate all traftic agreements that he becomes
a menace to the railway business and de-
morazer Of Interstate commerce. The aboll-
ton of ticket scalping is an interstate COM
MERGE question. II Is a matter for federal
legislation. Statutes against ticket brokerage
are In force in Illinois and a number or
states but they have proved Ineffective. The
interstate commerce commission has strongly
urged congress to give the railways protection
against this Legitimate traffic in their tick
cts and has presented arguments In favor
OF such legislation that are unanswerable. The
railway companies are entitled to this relief
and il should receive the prompt attention OF
congress at its next regular session"

the impressions he had formed of the
country and of some of the purposes of

and l look upon it not so much as
a tribute to myself as an evidence of
that good will which the great re-
public Of the North has for all the
republics of South and Central Ameri-
ca. We have long appreciated the cor
diality and sympathy which, this gov
eminent has shown towards us, and
it has led US to look to this strong
and stable government as a guide. an
inspiration and most of all as q true
and stafWaTt friend. Your president
has given many evidences Of this sin

dents of the other republics. But L

Expectations of the Great Northern
SmciaIs More Than Met.

DULUTH. Mimi. Nov. 26.-Ofleials Of the
Great Northern state that their anticipation
as to business to come from the Fosston line
has already been more than met.
1t is stated by the company that about 500
men will be put at work along the line this
winter and preparations made so that train
can be run each way every thirty minutes.
1t will take till next September to get the
road in the condition wanted. and the work
of Improvement includes many miles of side
tracks in addition to those already planned.
though the Great Northern's liking for plenty
pf side tracks is well known. 1t also in
dudes balastlng for practically the entire
line. bigger yards at Cass Lake and other
important points. plenty of water and coal
stations and other betterments. The COM
pany Will have large quantity of new equip
ment built this winter for this line. both in
motive power and cars. and will probably add
considerably to the passenger equipment OF
the road The passenger business done so far
has been one OF the chief surprises to the
officers. for the road has had heavy through
and local business since il was opened In
September. The coaches are always crowd
ed and there is developing a considerable
amount of through business that was hard
ly expected yet.
