TO PROTECT SAILORS

San Francisco, March 20.-The
U. s. Shipping Com missioner in
San Francisco has come to the
assistance of sailors who earn a
living in deep water ships relative
to the recent cut in wages from
800 to SIS per month.
The usual custom followed by
masters of such vessels is to Sc
cure crew from boarding house
keepers who agree to furnish the
men at certain scale of wages.
For the past two years the
amount paid to sailors on Deep
water vessels has ranged from $50
to $50 per month. A recent act
of Congress which goes into effect
on April l allows sailors wages
for but one month to be allotted to
a boarding house keeper. In the
face of this law and the fact that
as sailors are nearly always in
debt to the boarding house keepers
the latter have agreed to furnish
men at SD per month when it
would naturally be to their inter
ests to secure higher scale of
wages for the men who are in
their debt.
The Shipping Commissioner
views this action with suspicion,
and it is thought that the board
ing house keepers and masters OF
deep water chips have an agree.
ment by which the sailors will be
paid only SIS per month and the
balance, which they should receive
under the old scale, will go to tho
boarding house men.
This morning the Commissioners
refused to sign crews for three Am.
erican deep-water ships now in the
harbor and telegraphed to Wash
ington for instructions.
The duties of a Shipping Com
missioner aud the aim Of many
acts Of Congress are to Sc, that
sailors on American ships receive
their full wages and are treated
properly. While the sailors
erumbled at the cut in wages they
are in no position to help them
selves. 1t is the custom for boarding
house keepers to furnish food and
lodging of sailors relying upon
the allotment of their wages to Sc
cure payment Of the debts. When
board is refused to a sailor he
will submit to anything the board.
ing house keeper may say aud is
only too glad to get to sea iustes d
of going hungry on shore.
The outcome of the test cases
made today by the Commissioner
will be of interest to all engaged
In deep water traffic.

Calcutta, March 20.-The Leg :
islstive Council today adopted the
countervailing sugar bill. The
Viceroy of India expressed salts
faction at the unanimous feeling
of the Council on the subject of the

adopted at the recent congress OF the
Daughters Of the American Revolution
grants larger concessions than any
heretofore, but while some OF the most

Three Persons Killed and Many
Observation-Disclosures Escapes,
ATHENS. Tenn, March 5.-A terrific
cyclone passed over n portion Of Madl-
sonville and Monroe county last night,
with disastrous results. Early in the
evening strong wind arose and sever
al hours later cyclone nbout seventy
yards wide. struck portion of Madl-
sonville, killing three persons, wound
Ing ten or twelve others. and complete
ly destroying twelve or fifteen houses
and several barns. The killed are: Mr..
and Mrs. Jack Moser; Ed. L. Horton.
Wounded: Miss Willie Erwin, Miss
Della Mason, Mrs. Z. L. Horton. Mrs.
H. A. Robinson, Mr. L. A. Robinson.
Hobart Robinson. Miss Rodgers, Mr..
Moser, Prof Charles Kelly.
The Horton and Robinson houses are
both complete wrecks, not one timber
being left above another on the founda-
ton. The escape OF the inmates of these
two houses. eight In the Horton and
three In the Robinson, seems miracu-
lous, some Of them being blown q dis
tance of hundred yards, yet escaping
in some cases without q scratch
w. i. Ervln's house had one end
torn away; Dillon Rodgers is almost
wreck: Erskine Lowry's residence
moved a distance of ten feet and was
almost wrenched out OF shape.
Telephone and telegraph wires are
blown down and all communication shut
off, :
Ihe storm came up with alarming
suddenness and swept everything in
It's path. 1t was accompanied by the
terrific roar usually attending cyclones.
Frightened inhabitants rushed for
their cellars and places OF safety. In
the country great damage was done to
orchards, and crops by the wind and
han. 1t Is reported that further cnsu-
alties resulted in outlying districts; but
no particulars can be obtained
The most frightful feature of the tor
nado was the manner In which Jack
Moser met his death. He was hurled
by the winds force from his house q
distance OF seven hundred yards until
his progress was impeded by wire
fence, which completely severed his
head from the body The remains were
found In that condition by the rescuing
party, which did faithful work after
the storm had subsidized
The twelve-year-o son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Moser was in their home with
them but he was unhurt.
Hugh Hicks and Charles Pierce were
seriously injured.
1t is believed that Miss Rodgers. who
Is reported as seriously injured. may
die. her body having been lacerated by
broken panes of glass. She was also
badly bruised and injured internally.
Upper East Tennessee points report n
heavy wind storm accompanied by ter
rife rains. The rains did untold dam
age to crops in that section, nnd 1t Is
conservativelY estimated that this tor
rent. coupled with the recen, freeze and
bad weather, will mean 4 loss OF mil
lion dollars TO farmers In that section.
