in requiring the manager and treas
urer of the company to submit print
ed reports to the stockholders at least
ten days prior to each annual meet.

tion ought to pay Is to 20 per cent

ENLISTED TO FIGHT.

An exhibition of soldierly zeal oc-
CURED on the Senator the day after
she arrived at Cavite, which so chal-
lenged the admiration of the ships
company that they never tire of re-
peating it. When the Senator arriv-
ed there was a great hurry to land
the troops as an engagement with the
Spaniards was momentarily expected.
The emergency was so great that the
men were landed while the stores
were all left aboard. The members
of the Nebraska regiment band and
two men from each company were or
dered to remain aboard to guard them
and to assist in lightering them
ashore. The captain of one of the
companies detailed a big six footer
of his company as one of these two
guards. The soldier on receiving the
detail, broke out in tears. Captain, -
he said, 81 enlisted to fight, not to
guard stores and is there is any fight
ing to be done I want to be in it. The
only way you can keep me aboard is
to put me in irons, and I'm not sure
that will do it,"
The captain could not resist this
appeal and the man was allowed to
go with his company and was in the
fight.

CITY Of COLUMBIA CASES
JUDGE PERRY HEARING ONE OF
THE LIBELS.
Captain Minor Tells Many Matters of
Interest About the Vessel, Her Own
ers and Managers.

The second of the admiralty suits
against the City of Columbia was be-
fore Judge Perry yesterday afternoon
on preliminary motions. On the sug-
gestion of counsel the court appoint
ed Solomon Berliner as next friend of
Rose Berliner, the plaintiff, and al
lowed the libel to be amended by adj
ding his name thereto as such.
At this mornings session the first
suit, that of Russell Colegrove, who
claims $4,000 as damages, for breach
of contract, came up before Judge
Perry. Much of the morning was talk
en- up with dry details as to the own
ership of the vessel.
At this afternoons session Captain
Minor, the first witness of the day,
was still on the stand under direct ex-
animation. He was giving the details
of Colegrove's connection with the
ship on the day before she sailed.
During the morning at the request
of the attorneys the court took re-
cess long enough to personally visit
the vessel
All the witnesses are excluded from
the court room, but a large number
of spectators are present.

CAPTAIN MINORS TRIALS
THE LTBELING OF \ VESSEL is
EXPLAINED.
Some of the Columbia's Passengers
and the Queer Freight They Brought
With Them Many Under Bonds.

1t is not generally known that Cap
tain Minor was in command of the
crack trOopship Arizona at the time
of her sale to the United States dur
ing the war. and that he took COM
mand of the City of Columbia less
than twenty-four hours before she
sailed. Since taking command he has
had trouble enough to try the patti
ence of job.
Owing TO the detention of the ves-
sci in this port by libel suits, Captain
Minor has had to refund the passage
money to many of his passengers
who had bought round trip tickets,
and this amounts to considerable
sum.
Many of the passengers who only
paid for the trip to Honolulu were
unable to land, not having the neces-
sary $50 required by law. The captain
had to rustic about find their friends
il they had any, and make arrange
ments for giving bonds to the custom
house. Many of these passengers are
walking the streets of Honolulu today
under bonds signed by local sureties
that they will leave in a given time.
In still other cases arrangements in
volving the temporary transfer of per-
sonal property have had to be made.
Among the passengers destined for
Honolulu some of them had plenty of
money and a case or two of queer
but valuable freight This consisted
in several instances of nickel-in-the-
slot machines and other similar devil
ces for robbing the unwary which
have hitherto been kept out of Homo
lulu While these have been landed,
they have not got further up town
than the custom house. as their own
ers, after walk up town and few
casual inquiries at the nearest bar,
concluded it would be unwise even to
pay duty on them.
\ prominent attorney was asked
yesterday how ii was that irresponsi-
BILE strangers could libel vessel and
tie her up in the way that has hap
pened to the City of Columbia, with
out fling any bonds. The answer
was:
The law under which these libels
| have been instituted is the same all
over the maritime world. 1t is de-
! signed especially for the benefit of
sea-faring men, steerage passengers,
and other poor people, who have to go
to sea, and who otherwise would have
no protection against the occasional
brutalities of the officers or the parsi-
mony of the owners of the vessels.
This law protects anyone on board
any vessel from assault on his person,
| ill-usage in the matter of accommo-
dations, scarcity of food and host of
! similar matters. 1t is under this law
that even cabin boy can hold the
! ship for his wages and obtain dam
| ages for the cuffs and kicks adminis-
| tered to him by brutal mates. It is a
wholesome law and the fear of it has
kept many brutal captain in bounds
who otherwise would be only law
unto himself. OF couse it is hard on
vessel sometimes. but the law is de-
signed for the benefit of the crew and
passengers. not the owner"
