He Liked the Race

Commodore Macfar ans was inter
viewed in regard to the great yacht
race to Lahaina on Saturday last.
The complexion OF the well.known
yachtsmsn reminded the reporter OF
combination of jaundice and sea-
sickness.
"Yes," said the Commodore, "we
had splendid run. The sea was
running high-you bet it was high
and ] had no chance OF stepping
ashore"
Have you ever been seasick' No.
Try trip in La Paloma across those
channels when a gale is blowing,
and you will prefer horse racing to
yachting. At one time would have
taken $40 cash for the yacht and the
whole outfit from anyone who would
land me somewhere on terra .frm,a.
Later on / was willing to give the
"Dove" away for the same consider
alton, but there wasn't an offer in
sight, and on we went. / read at one
time in one OF Mark Twain's books
that when man gets seasick the
first day he is afraid of dying, and
the next day he fears that he will
not die. "Mark" has never been
on La Paloma, or he would have
wished he had been dead before
he boarded her. What's the matter
with those channels, anyway The
Government ought to do something
to stop the draught. 1t is unhealthy
and contrary to my sanitary princi-
pies. Then Harry Swinton would
yell out, "Say, Commodore, amt
she going ines" and / would answer
in most pleasant way but in an in
distinct voice, "Let her go to h.,
any place is better than this"
"How many miles from here, to
the Lahaina buoy | never reached2
| feel sure that the distance is from
100000 to some more miles. Faughl
it makes me shudder to think of 1t.
But you wait. l will race again and
get Billy Irwin TO go on the Helene,
and then | will have my sea legs on,
and watch the captain OF the Helene
having my experience. Have some
thing9 Plenty stuff left, you bet"

IL look forward to the engage

While listening to case of cru
city to animals against one OF Pains
bus drivers the District Magistrate
called attention to the growing
freshness" Of the police officers.
Mr. Pain stated that he happened
to be standing across the street
where the bus was stationed, and
that suddenly an officer yelled to
him: "Here, Pain, come over here;
want to talk to you and show you
this mule" When the driver was
arrested and charged with cruelty
TO animals, Mr.. Pain went to the
Police Station and after ascertain
ing the amount of bail for the re-
lease Of his employee, he rendered
his check for the amount and it was
refused, as the Police Department
stakes nothing on paper" The
Judge looked over the calendar be-
fore him and called attention to the
numerous cases where release OF
offenders are made and simply
marked son paper" A. M. B. or g.
F. G. His Honor thought that a
check signed by Pain or equally
solvent men is as good as the mys-
terious initials which have the ma
gic effect OF releasing people arrest
ed by the police. In commenting
on the freshness" OF the officers
the magistrate mentioned that he
only yesterday was hailed by an
officer calling out: "Judge, come
over here, there is another mittimus
to be signed" The judge entered
his carriage, drove off, said nothing
but thought great deal. The Off
Ger in question will probably also
have something to think of. The
Marshal should open his new gym
nasium at once and make it an OBJ
isct TO have the swelled heads OF his
subordinates reduced as we'll as their
corporosity. He might take few
lessons himself to his own advant-
age.

Secretary Hay has published a
very interesting campaign docu-
ment in which he denies the exist
ence OF an alliance between Great
Britain and the United States. He
wisely and thoughtfully points out
the reasons why it can never be the
policy Of the United States to de-
part from the wholesome princi-
pies laid down by the forefathers to
never form an entangling alliance
with any power. The United States
can become world power without
formal or informal alliances. Com
merce will some day rule and not
conflict.

The San Francisco Chronicle
publishes the following gentle re-
minder to the Planters Association
that they still remain friendly to the
penal contract labor:
Now that an esteemed contem-
porary has "redressed" the "un-
American" habit of enforcing penal
contracts in Hawaii it would do
we'll to redress few OF them in
other parts of the United States.
American sailors who desire to es-
cape contract service aboard ship
are quite as much subject to penal
enforcement as were the Galicians
who deserted the island cane fields.
Doubtless, as they were the more
numerous class, they could make it
worth the while OF our contempor-
ary to upset the Supreme Courts
decision in the Arago case and teach
that tribunal just what true Ameri-
canism means.

IMPORTANT RULING.
Interstate Commerce Commission
Decides the "F1oating COtton.. Case

Interstate Commerce Commission
Decides the ''FIoating COtton., c ase
WASHINGTON, April 5-The inter
state commerce commission today, in an
opinion by Commissioner Prouty, decid-
ed the case against the Kansas City,
Memphis & Birmingham Railroad COM
pany and others. 1t mainly involved the
practice of floating cotton The COM
mission finds that the essential Transport
tation. feature Is carrying the cotton to
compress, receiving it again in the
compressed state, and transporting It to
destination at the through rate in force
from the point of origin
The question was whether the shipment
is to be considered through, and entitled
to through rate or as local, and call
Ing for applfcatio Of charges in effect
to and from the compress point. The
commission holds first, that the carrier
may, as part of a contract for through
shipment, allow the cotton to be stopped
off for the purpose of loading and COM
preston; but that the privilege enters
into and becomes part of the service
covered by the rate, and should be speci-
fled in the published tariffs; second, that
the determinative deature Of a through
shipment is the contract. and If the cot
ton starts and proceeds upon contract
for through shipment, as Is shown to
be the fact in this case, it may be con-
sidered as a through shipment, and be
given the benefit of through rate.
The Kansas City grain case is cited
by way of distinction, in the decision.

The Michigan Central is said to have
rendered to it's connections west of Chi

ness to New York now In effect on any
read, to be applied over it's line on and
after April g. 1t Is believed that this
will precipitate the long predicted differ
entail war in passenger rates between
Chicago and New York
The action of the Michigan Central
means that one of the standard lines has
decided to accept s1S instead of $40 from
Chicago to New York as the basing rate
for points west of Chicago. The an
nouncement does not as yet extend to
Chicago locally, but the intention to SO
apply it can hardly be doubted

The differential lines have vowed that
they will preserve this difference in rates.
even if they are forced to cut rates. For
some time an attempt has been made to
compromise, but neither side has been
willing to give in. The action of the

threats. The Central will be backed by

Ii HUNG CHANGES CHANCE.
Famous Oriental Statesman. May Be
Returned to- Power,


WASHINGTON, April 5.-The friend
ship which the empress dowager Of China
entertains for Ii Hung Chang may re-
suit in his being recalled to power at
an early day. There have been reports
that this move was actually under way,
but nothing official has been received
here to bear this OUT. The main obstacle
to his recall. it Is said. is the difference
between Russia and Great Britain as to
the preponderance of power in China.
In the sharp diplomatic struggle going on
between those two powers. Russia has re-
lied upon the good offices of Lii Hung
Chang, while Great Britain has cause
to resent some Of the activities of Earl
Ii in behalf Of Russia. This feeling in
British official circles was the main
cause for the enforced retirement of LII
Since then, however, the British senti-
ment against him has become less acute,
and 1t is understood that If the dowager
empress sees fit to recall him to- power
there is not likely to be the same op-
position as Great Britain would have in
terposed some time ago. In Ii Hung
Chang, it is said, China would have the
services Of the first statesman of the
Orient for the crisis through which she
IS passing, and her hefpIessness in
the diplomacy of the past two years
would be much overcome.
