HARBOR NEWS.
Items of Interest Picked Up Along the
Water Front.

Henry B. Card of Wells, Me-, formerly
mate of the schooner Newell B. Halves.
has libeled the vessel in the sum of SIS
for wages alleged to be due him. The
schooner is now in port in Boston.
Captains of vessels experience little
difficulty at present, in Boston, in secur-
ing crews, and the scarcity of sailors re-
ported few weeks ago, and in fact dur
ing all the past winter, no longer exists.
Seamen's wages remain high, notwith-
standing the fact that there has been
sharp decline in freights of late, which
seriously affects the earnings of vessel
property.
U. s. Shipping Commissioner Grant,
of Boston, says that the present scale of
wages is $50 per month for vessels en-
gagged in the oosstwise trade to ports
north of Cape Hatteras, and s25 per month
for coastwise ports south of there. Wages
for deep water voyages range from SIS to
$40 per month, the captain Of the last
vessel leaving therefor an off-shore port
being compelled to pay the latter sum.
Since the sailor boarding house keepers
have formed an organization a bonus is
demanded from the captains CT vessels
supplied with crews Poor Jack gets
none Of this money. the boarding house
keeper pocketing the amount for services
rendered. This system has led to many
ABUSES, and the captain of a vessel leav-
ing San Francisco recently WAS mulcted
to tho tune Of 500 by the boarding house
keeper who furnished the crew. The de-
mands Of the Boston boarding house pro-
prietors. however, are much more moder-
ate.
Acting Secretary of War Meiklejohn, In
discussing the rapid expansion of Cuban
commerce says:
"The magnitude OF Cuban commerce, as
we'll as its rapid expansion, is shown by
the navigation returns of the port of
Havana for the month of February
Taking just the vessels engaged in trade
between Havana and foreign ports, the
total tonnage of steamers entered during
February was l54. 65l tons. and of sailing
vessels 1900 tons, making total Of
1871, $50 tons. Inc relative proportions Of
this trade will be- more clearly understood
by com parison with the returns for ports
with which we are more familiar. The
total tonnage from foreign ports entering
San Francisco in February was only
9l 1858 tons; Philadelphia, l09, I'll tons,

Mr.. Alpheus L. Hanscome OF this city
was admitted to the bar in Androscoggin
county yesterday after an experience
both unusual and trying.
At 8 p. m. in the Aubur, court room
the oral examinations of Mr.. Hansoome
and Albert Kavanaugh began.
Judge Whitehouse stated that the com
mittee of examination was aware of the
fact that objections had been made
against the admission OF Mr.. Hansoome.
Mr.. Crockett Of the committee read a
letter indorsing strongly the candidate
from MIR. B. Q. Stone of Portland, the
we'll known clerk of courts. He also
read a letter Of the same tenor fro M City
Solicitor C. W. Morrill, Of Portland;
also from A. f. Moulton, Esq., of Port
land; also William Lyons of Westbrook !;
Frank I. Moore, Esq of Portland; board
Of directors of the Falmouth Loan g.
Building association with which Mr..
Hanscome Is identified as secretary !;
Mayor King S. Raymond of Westbrook;
County Attorney Libby of Cum erland
county; Walter Pickett, the grain mer-
chant at Stroudwater.
This completed the reading of letters
indorsing Mr.. Hanscome.
W. K. Ulmer Of Boston, an attorney
formerly of Portland, addressed the court
and objected to the admission Of Mr..
Hanscome. He gave biographical
sketch of Mr.. Hanscome and he said that
while Mr.. Hanscome was secretary Of the
Falmouth Loan & Building association
he called on Miss Edith NJ. Blackstone
of Freeport and induced her to sign a
quit claim deed of her property. This MIR.
U.mer claimed he did Illegally. Mr..
Ulmer Is the attorney OF Miss Blackstone
and he told the CONT what he had done.
He claimed that was done while Miss
Blackstone was i'll in bed.
Mr.. Ulmer read the affidavit of Miss
Blackstone relative to the matter. After
she signed the paper she tore her name
from 1t in the presence of Mr.. Ulmer.
MIR. George Libby of the Falmouth Loan

MIR. Ulmer read a statement from DR..
Howard Of Freeport relative to Miss
physical condition since
the affair
Mr.. Ulmer said to the cou rt that he
thought that these grounds were suffi- |
cient to prevent the admission to the bar. |
The fact that the student hat left his |
own county and come TO AndroscoRgin
was emphasized by Mr.. Ulmer. He |
Thought that the letters of recommended
ton should not be taken into account.
Mr.. Hanscome addressed the court and
said that he denied all the allegations.
His only regret was that he had ever been
associated i'll any way with Mr. UImer.

early in the evening, and almost before
the officers heard of the case. when is
an indication that a cutting Scfape
might have occurred. The officers stlll
believe there was q tilt between some
men. and that hotn parties ans husnlnB
up the matter. They cite other cases a
bad blood and hard fights and smashed
faces between men which did not become

One Case Has Been Reported in
the City.
A SCHOOL BOY HAS IT
The House Has Not Been Guaranteed
Yet-Health Officer Thinks There
Are a Good Many Cases.

The seven wear old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. Glover, residing at 213 East Sew
enth street, a pupil who was sent nome
from the Lincoln school a week ago to-
day on account of illness, has a full
fedged case of scarlet fever yet the house
has not been ~quarantined. The case IS
being attended by DR.. oliver Lesser.
When the case was rumored late yester-
day afternoon an Inter Mountain re-
porter called at the office of Acting Chair
man of the Board, DR.. Mckenzie VINO
claimed he had no knowledge of such
a Ease as none had been reported. AT
the Lincoln school, Mrs. Sparks, one of
the teachers, said she had excused the
Glover boy Nov. 9 on account of illness
which was later reported as scarlet 1eVer.
Mrs. Glover was found at her home ana
admitted her son had scarlet fever, and
was being attended by DR.. Lesser put
the house was not q~uarantined sun she
allowed no one to come there except the
father of the boy who was a Commercial
avenue tailor. Her little girl about Il
years of age was sent away and was
stopping with friends. The girl came
down the middle of the street during the
time the reporter was in the yard and
manfred after condition of her brother
and the rest of the family and Went
away.
D mckenzie says he has every reason
to believe there are other cases OF scar
LET fever or scarletina in the city not
reported. A few evenings ago he was
called to see a patient and got into the
wrong house by mistake and there found
there had been two cases Of scarletina
that were never reported. II TINS VIC
lation Of the quarantine law continues
there will be no other course except to
a few arrests. Anaconda is to be

Of the people be if a case did appear and
