commissioners coincide with the report re-
Gently made to the parliament of Great
Britain that the higher wages paid ON Amer.
lcan vessels lead to frequent desertious of
seamen from British vessels in ports of the

| Rockport, June IL. The steel ship Puri-
tan, Captain Fred W. Amsbury of Rock
| port, arrived at Esquimalt, Vancouver Island
| from Cardiff, Wales, June Sd. after passage
| OF 1O7 days, which is a remarkably quick
| passage, 100 days being pronounced by ship
| ed that Captain Amsbnry made the voyage
| from New York to Cardiff in IS days, which
was very unusual, having never been beaten
but by the old liners Captain Amsbury is
| making a record.
| An important order was received Friday
at the Marine hospital in Portland from
Supervising Surgeon General Wyman at
| Washington. The order states that all yes
sells arriving at that port must be boarded by
the marine hospital doctors and the captains
and crews be vaccinated. This order applies
| to vessels from coal ports, southern ports,
foreign ports, in fact from any port of any
size and Is issued on account of the report
ed cases of small pox in the New England
States. Until recently small pox had hard
| ~ ever been heard of in northern ports, and
| 1t is thought that good many of the cases
are due wholly to carelessness on the part of
sailors. The order goes into effect imme-
diately. Three cases were reported at Bos.
| ton Friday.
