CARRIES SIX THOUSAND TONS

The Norwegian whalebaclt freight
steamer Titania arrived in port yes
terday from Nanaimo with the larg-
est cargo of coal ever brought into
this port by one vessel, says the San
Francisco Chronicle. The steamer
Progeso. which is considered large
carrier brought on her last trip 2,70C
tons. The Titania brought 1867 tons,
and can carry 5000. She has been
chartered for nine months by John
Rosenfeld's Sons of this city to carry
coal between Nanaimo and San Fran
cisco. She is a new vessel having on
ly been launched in Sunderland five
months ago. She came by way of
the Suez canal and Yokohama. She
is a whaleback of most peculiar con-
struction, and quite startled the water
front as her hull plowed its way up
the bay. Her name is singularly in
approprite and suggestive of sarcasm
on the part of the donor. A Titan the
vessel is, but the widest of imagina-
tons could hardly trace resem-
blance between this big. ugly, and ac-
cording to familiar ideas of naval ar
chitecture, misshapen mass of iron,
and the supposed appearance of the
queen of the fairies.
For all of her ugliness, however, the
Titania is a good sea boat. with an
average speed of ten knots. She is 367
feet long, has beam of 46 feet. and
her hold is 90 feet deep. She is COM
manded by Captain Fl. Egenas and
carries a crew of twentv-nine men.
She is owned by Wilhelmsen G. Co., of
Tonsberg, Norway

ADMIRAL MONIEJO' PLAN
WAS TO HAVE \ REVIEW ON DAY
Or THE BATTLE.
His Private Papers were Captured
After the Fight and Show What His
Intentions Had Been.

The most interesting capture made
by the Americans after the battle OF
Manila was bundle of private papers
belonging to Admiral Montejo. One
of these communications bearing mis-
signature shows that ii was his IN
tention to have II general review and
inspection of the fleet at o'clock on
Sunday morning. This proves that
he was not expecting the American
fleet so soon.
Other papers show that it had been
his intention at one time to intrust
the defense of Manila to the land bat
teries and take the fleet to Subig bay
north of Manila, believing that he
could there take up a strong position
and have an advantage over an at
lacking fleet.
According to the reports from Ma
Mia the admiral first went ashore al
Cavite and had his wounds dressed
He succeeded i'm evading the insurS
ents. who wished to capture him, and

Electric
Company.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gem
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office Of the Electric Company and said:
solve me figures for wiring my house, and
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and | take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite a number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light
just think it over and make up your mind
chat you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you wall.

this line and have just received lot of the

by means of cap or thimble. The
absence of the collar gives entire free
dom of action in front, greatly accel-
Grating speed and improving the stay
ing power, while the elimination of
the breeching allows full play of the
hind parts without danger of chatting.
In the case of jamie T., Driver Fuller
has added second girth. The over
draw, or head check, operates to sup
port the weight Of the head, while at
the same time serving to keep the nos
trils extended so as to admit of free
breathing. 1t is the style generally in
use except in the case Of naturally
high-headed horses, that require MOTH
ing beyond the Qldstyle side check.
The ordinary binders, which con-
fine the sight to the immediate front,
are usually applied TO sluggish horses.
In this case, however. the addition of
the goggles, the bridge-like arrange
ment across the nose. which stIl fur
ther restricts the view and prevents
the flly seeing the ground, would in
dicate a tendency to shy and a general
ly nervous or high-strung disposition.
AS a further precautiOn the kicking
strap" which runs across the Ioins,
from shaft to shaft, has also been
applied.
In the way of boots, jamie T. wears
in front knee and arm boots. which are
supported by straps and shoulder
braces, and shin boots and quarter
boots. Behind are shin passing, ankle
and toe boots, or "scalgers This

JANE I. Is 4 WONDER
THE GREATEST TWO YEAR OLD
TROTTER OF THE AGE

Her Performance Lat Season the Most
Remarkable Ever Made by a Two-Year-
Old in Bace-Harnes- Ma1er to some
Extent Aided Her ia Her Work.
jamie T., winner of the two-year-old
division of the Kentucky Futurity at
Lexington and of the Kentucky Stock
Farm purse, is not only the greatest
two-year-old trotter Of the year, but
the holder OF The worlds record for
two-year-old trotting FLIES. Her
performances are the most remarkable
ever made by a two-year-old in a race.
As will be seen by the illustration,
which is reproduced from the New
York Sun, the art of me harness-ma-
ker and saddler, has been called
upon to an appreciable extent for the
conservation Of the speed and racing
possibilities of jamie T. 1t can be
said in her favor, however, that many
Of the appliances are perhaps de more
to the precautiOn of her trainer than
to actual necessity. This is particu-
larly true of the booting. which is
injury which may come to the truest-
gated and most level-headed Of horses.
The utility of the multiplicity of
tackle" with which jamie T. is ac-
coutred, which certainly does not tend
to enhance her attractiveness, is some
thing of mystery hence a brief ex-
pianation of the various contrivances
may not be without interest.
Every one at all familiar with mod
ern harness racing will recognize the
improved racing harness now in gem
eral use in which the idea of freeaom
of action is brought almost TO perfec-
ton In this harness the collar or
breast piece, as well as the breeching,
is entirely eliminated, being supplied
by a device which transfers the
draught from the breast and shoulders
to the girth. The trace is fastened to
the girth just below the saddle, and
is then carried to the point of the
shat, to which it is securely attached
