Senator Perkins, Of California, con-
sidered It appropriate TO assure the
United States senate that the loyalty
Of the people os California cannot be
impugned Nobody has been casting
any reflections upon the loyalty OF the
people to the nation. but there is a very
grave question whether some influen-
tiai persons in San Francisco have not
exercised an unfair influence in the Sc
lection OF war vessels.
Senator Carter made a very specific
NAL. which Senator Perkins did not
eontrovert. Speaking Of patriotism. by
the way, Senator Perkins took occasion
TO remark that his company had ode
ciined" to charter its ships 10 the gov
eminent. In such an emergency. pub
iic-spirited citizens who are ship own
ers might be expected 10 give a very
good reason for declining" To acceie
to any requests of the government
i1bHCbSf, lux StafidaIu bS NAltH 1ala-
fornia patriotism is measured does not
concern US for the moment
The charge that number of gentle
men engaged In shipping on the Pacific
coast have been engaged In holding
up the United States government for
exorbitant prices for transports. made
by Senator Carter. is not pretended TO
include any place but San Francisco.
1t IS notorious that much of the delay
In securing transports has not been
due 10 the wam of steamers, but TO the
price asked for them. No fair man
would object to ship owners asking such
a price as would make them whole for
the loss Of business due to surrendering
ships. The government has not been
niggardIy in this respect, SO that when
offers were declined at San Francisco
on the score ina; the price asked is too
high. II Is not a stretch of the imagina-
ton to believe that the offer of the Cen
tennial al $500 day was very annoy
ing TO ship owners who were asking
81 900 day.
In justice both to the owners of the
Centennial aid 10 the officers on Puget
sound who examined and passed her,
further investigation should be had.
