SIGNAL FROM QUARANTINE
THE COLUMBIA WANTED A NEW
ENGINEER.
Mr.. Hunter Was Sent Out-Vessel
Changes Her Position-Board OF
Health's Shore Boat Patrol.

Early arrivals on the water front this
morning were surprised to see the City
of Columbia signalling to the shore. All
sorts of guesses as to what was wanted
were made by those who knew they
were signals, but did not know what
they were for Some jumped to the con-
cluSlon that new cases OF buboniC
plague had broken out, and rumors Of
this kind soon got into circulation.
They were all without foundation,
however. All the City of Columbia
wanted was another engineer For
some reason Pilot Macaulay became
dissatisfied with the engineer aboard
and signalled for another one. The
signal was answered and a Mr.. Hunter,
formerly an engineer on one of the
plantations of the Islands, and said to
be an exceedingly competent man, was
sent out on the Government tug. The
former engineer will of course have to
remain aboard during the quarantine
period.
During the forenoon Pilot Macaulay
shifted the position of the City of Col
umbia considerably presumably to get
into better anchorage. 1t was not
done by getting up steam and moving
by means of her propeller. but by
means of the anchors and the donkey
engine on deck.
The Board of Health has arranged for
shore boat to go out to the City OF
/ Columbia three times a day, at a. m,
II noon and p. m, to carry messages
the board may desire sent. and to bring
back communications those on board
/ may want delivered. The boat this
morning brought back about fifty let
| ters from the quarantined vessel. These
had all been fumigated before they left
| the ship. A corner of the envelope OF
each one had been cut off, so that the
! fumigating fumes would be sure to get
at the inside and put an end to any
microbes that might be there.
The health of all on board is reported
| good and everybody is doing the best
he can to look pleasant" while un-
avoidably detained. as well as to while
away the hours of the quarantine per-
| iod.

Cabinet at it's session on Monday. AT
that time the President will formally

Yesterday afternoon Henry Macfar-
lane invited a few old friends of the
Press to join him in 'hanselling" the
handsome loving cup which had been
presented to him by the employees of the
hotel on the 25th anniversary of his we'd
ding. Representatives of the various
journals in town drove down to the an
mex and pledged the genial Henry in
champagne. The health of Mr.. and Mrs.
Macfarlane was drunk and wishes CIV
en- for the future golden wedding. Mr..
Macfarlane gave some amusing remin-
iscences of his work upon the Adver-
tiser in the sixties, and told his stories
with that point and brilliance which is
peculiarly his own. That he might many
times repeat the witty anecdotes, under
as pleasant circumstances, was the wish
of all present.

MORE OF THEM USED.

There are probably more Singer sew
ing machines used in the United States
than of any other one make. This is a
very excellent guarantee that they are
one of the very best machines. The
points Of merit are strength, durabil-
ity, easy running and simple construc-
ton. Very little mechanism to get out
of order makes repair bills small.

LONDON, Jan. 5.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Daily Mail says:
Privy Councillor Solomon of the pris-
ons administration has just returned
here from five months tour of the
prisons and exile colonies of the Rus
sian Government in Siberia and the
island of Saghalien, on the east coast
of Asia. He has furnished me with the
chief points of his report to the Car.
It's leading feature is NJ. Salomon's
conclusion that Punishment is useless
and undesirable as punishment, be-
cause it produces the complete moral
degradation of the exile.
Solomon found the prisons in Western
Siberia in fair condition, with no signs
of overcrowding or dirt, but in Eastern
Siberia the conditions were quite the
opposite. He found matters still worse
in aghalien-prisoners badly treated.
prisons filthy and hospitals crowded
like pigsties. He dismissed two chief
directors of prisons for cruelty and
