CAPTAIN WALKERS BOAT.
Columbia to be Operated in Interest of
Chinese Trade.

Captain f. d. Walker will use the
steamship Columbia for a bona fide
traffic between this port and Hong
kong. The start will be made as soon
as the vessel can be put i'm readiness
for the sea. This will mean several
weeks. Repairs to the vessel will be
under the personal supervision of Cap
tain Walker and his son Charles.
Captain Walker is well known in the
Orient as a master and a dealer in
ships. He was a resident of Japan for
several years, and in that time owned
as many as a dozen steamers. About
twelve years ago he set sail from Hong
kong in the schooner Wandering Min
strel and was wrecked on the Midway
Islands. With his family and the crew
he lived more than a year on this des-
olate spot, and was finally rescued by
the schooner Norma of Honolulu.
After that Captain Walker bought
the Norma, and later sold her to w. lE.
Rowell. About four years ago he
cruised in her among the South Sea
Islands and then went north to British
Columbia.
The captains present venture will be
in the interest of the Chinese trade. He
will have the backing of several strong
merchants on Nuuanu street, from
whom he will surely obtain full return
cargoes. The business will be similar
to that carried on by the old Velocity
prior to the death of Captain Martin.

BRYAN AND HOAR

would BE n Ticket Favorable to New
England Anti-Eqpansionists.
| A Washington dispatch says: The
war with Spain produced surprises.
but none greater than report which
comes from New England to the effect
that the democrats can carry Massa-
chnsets if they place on their ticket
with Bryan the name of Senator Hoar.
This proposition, astounding ms it
seems at first, is not based on mere
idle political gossip, but is put forth
with sincerity aud earnestness by the
friends of the venerable senator from
| Massachusetts.
However far their chambers NAV
have been separated in the past Sena-
tor Hoar and Colonel Byran are now
occupying the same political bed In
fact, the senator has taken most of the
cover inasmuch as he does not advise
the ratification of the treaty. which
MIR. Bryan does. Senator Hoar has
declared that the questian of expan-
sion is the most important which has
appeared in the history of this coun-
try since the declaration of indepen-
dence and equal, in his opinion, to
''' '>>>' -'' i'tNah Ills uttered a.
most the Identical expression, but at
the same time he has withdrawn moth
ing that he has uttered in the past
about free silver. in fact he has reit.
Grated his convictions on that subject.
New England, or more accurately
Massachusetts, is in full sympathy. it
Is said, with it's senior senator on the
subject of expulsion and has learned
to be more tolerant of Mr.. Bryan since
the latter agress with him. Those
friends of the venerable senator see
their only hope of defeating expansion
or more rightly the policy of imperial
ism, in joining issues with Bryan and
shattering party lines on this issue.
They realize that with the senate
composed as it will bo for the next six
years, there is no danger OF any free
silver legislation, especially with Sen
ator Hoar occupying the presidents
chair in the senate. With the fangs
of free silver drawn these New Eng
land men propose and predict that all
can unite on Hoar
and Bryan and make the question of
imperialism the paramount issue OF
the campaign.

FOR CARE OF GRAVES
senator Pritchard Introduces Amendment
to the he.Appropriation Bnl.

senator Pritchard Introduces Amendment
to the. hs.Appropriation Bhl.
A Washington special says: Senator
Pritchard introduced in the senate
Friday his amendment to the appro-
pristion bill which is designed to be
the first step toward carrying out the
suggestions of the president for the
care Of the confederate graves. This
amendment provides for an appropri-
alton for the preliminary work. 1t is
as follows:
''To enable the secretary of war to
make thorough examination and re-
port to congress as to the number of
confederate cemeteries in the United
States and the location thereof, and
the number of confederate soldiers
buried in other than confederate Gem
eteries and the location of such ceme-
teries, with the view to ascertaining
the best method of caring for the con-
federate cemeteries, and also for the
removal, where practical or desirable,
Of confederate dead from private GEM
eteries to such confederate cemeteries,
the sum of 100000"
AS the amendment explains on its
face, it provides simply for paving the
way for the work. This is probably
all that will be done by the congress,
but after the information has been as.
certained il is fully expected that the
work will 60 on and that the graves
especially in distinctively confederate
cemeteries will be cared for.

THE SAMOAN TROUBLE
Will He Speedily Settled, Says Our Am
bassRtlOr To GCrmRmX.

bassatlor To Germany.
A cable dispatch from Berlin, Ger
many, states that public opinion was
focused on the Samoan question the
past week. The United States ambas-
sador, Andrew ID. White, has informed
the correspondent of the Associated
Press in Berlin that he has had sever
al meetings with the minister of for
eign affairs, Baron Won Bulow, and
that ASSN ances were given on both
sides of a nature calculated to promote
speedy and successful solution of
the question. Baron Won Bulow's
whole attitude tended to show that
the German government means to do
it's full share in settling the matter
fairly and amicably.
The preliminary negotiations thus
far have not gone beyond mutual
assurance of desire for friendly
and equitable arrangement, and the
negotiations will not take more
tangible shape until full, detailed
mail reports are received from the
agents of the three powers at Samoa.
This will involve delay of month
in the case of Germany, though the
reports will reach the United States
and Great Britain earlier. Until then
no decisive steps or negotiations can
be undertaken.

WAR STAMP DECISIONS.

Ihey Arc Not Necessary According tn
North Carolisa's Attorney General.
The attorney general of North Caro-.
lima has given the following opinion
to clerk OF the superior court:
ut is not necessary for YOU to place
a documentary, internal revenue stamn
on report made to this office. The
state has the right to conduct its own
business through it's own agencies
without Interference, directly or in.
directly, from the national govern
ment. Astate is but q corporation
and cannot act except through its own
agencies.f The federal government
cannot require revenue stamps to be
placed on the official bonds of state
or county municipalities, though /
notice commissioners of internal
revenue LAS made a, different ruling,
The power take involves the power
to destroy. Congress has no power
to make tax deeds issued by the state
void for the want of stamp, nor can
congress forbid the recording of an
unstamped instrument under the state
law" %
Judge Hughes, of the Adrian coun-
ty, Mo, circuit court, has decided
test case In reference to the war tax
law, declaring it was not the in
tention OF congress to require stamp
upon certificates of judicial character,
or if it was so intended, by the revenue
act, then the law is unconstitutional
In the formation Of the federal consti-
tuition, according to Judge Hughes,
the states did not delegate to the fed
eral government the power of taxation
over officers or courts or any other
machinery necessary for the support
and maintenance of the local state gov
ernment.

Horrible Fate Of Shipwrscked Sailors In

A dispatch from Vancouver, B. G. +,
says: After escaping death by d"own-
ing, eleven of the crew Of the ship
Manbare were captured and eaten by
cannibals of New Guinea The Man
bare was bound for Sydney Australia,
when it was caught in the rrible gale
of December. Near Cape Nelson it
began to sink. The crew, eigf ieen all
told, left the vessel in two boats and
soon became separated.
One boat, containing twelve men,
was finally thrown ashore ten mfles
from the cape. The sailors were
seized by natives from the interior and
hurried off to the village Of the chiefs
The sailors were stripped and bound
and killed, one each day.
One man, James Greene, escaped,
and was afterwards rescued by pass

PENSION BILL IS PASSED
MEASURE WAS THE SUBJECT OF
MUCH DISCUSSION.
TOM PLATT SPEAKS FOR TREATY.
New Yorker Urges It's Ratification md
Defcnds :i,e Expansion
Policy.

Peculiar interest was manifested in
the senate Friday in a brief speech de-
hvered by Senator Il. G. Platt, of New
York, on the general subject of expan-
sion. Mr.. Platt took for his text the
anti-annexationist resolution offered
by Mr.. Vest, of Missouri, but in the
course of his speech merely touched
apon the constitutional question in
volved in the proposed declaration.
He spoke in n clear resonant voice,
and not only because this was the
first speech he had delivered in the
senate since his return to that body,
but also because the address was
thoughtful and we'll considered state
ment he was accorded the undivided
attention of his colleagues on the floor
and large audience in the galleries.
Mr.. Platt took strong grounds for
the ratification of the treaty, holding
there was nothing in the constitution
to prevent the United States from ac-
quiring foreign territory.
Pension Bill Completed.
SittCi thS dIIauBSultht COHCluuSu
Thursday evening, consideration Of
the pension appropriation bill was re-
sumed, Mr. German, Of Maryland, de-
string to submit some remarks on it.
After calling attention to the large
amount carried by the measure-about
$l45, 900, ,000-Mr. German said that
Notwithstanding the fact that II per
---t of our soldiers who had been and
are still engaged in the war with Spain
in tropical countries were suffering
from illness that would make them
proper applicants for pensions, no
provision had been made in the pend
ing measure for this increase in the
pension roll. At this point Mr. Cor
man was interrupted hy Mr.. Hale, of
Maine, who said that he had been in
formed by prominent officer Of the :
army that if our troops were not re-
called from Cuba before June or July
at the latest the entire army on the
island would be down with illness.
Continuing. Mr.. German said that
the war with Spain would swell the
pension roll by at least 50, 900 names
if the troops were not recalled from
the tropical cline by the first of next
Septeniber.
''Within three years of this date"
said Mr. German in conclusion, "the
pension roll will amount to S165, ,OOO,-
600 year. If you add to that the cost
of maintaining your army Ia thousand
dollars n man(. the American public
will, in the year 1900, expend more for
it's army and pensioners than any
other nation on the face of the earth
That is fact which the American peo-
will have to face, and they ought to
know in advance what is coming to
them if the schemes and projects that
nre being forced upon us are carried
pnt."
After short debate the bill was
passed, and at 2:07 o'clock the senate
went into executive session and con
tinued the consideration of the peace
treaty.
At $50 o'clock p. IN. the senate re-
sumed business in legislative session.

Time of Sennte's Executive Session Occu-
pied By Gray aud Money.
Senators Gray and Money occupied
the entire executive session of the
senate Tuesday on the speeches of the
reace treaty, Senator Gray advocating

faris commissioners to speak. He
admitted that in the beginning of the
negotiations he had been opposed to the
acquisition of the Philippine archipel-
ago and said that he had freely aud
frankly advised the president and his
fellow commissioners of his belief that
il would be uuwise to attempt to shape

Next Solar Eclipse.

To determine the probable meteoro-
logical conditions likely to prevail along
the path of the total eclipse of the sun,
which VIII occur in the Southern States
of America on May %, 1900, Professor
+. H. Bigelow obtained observations of
the state of the sky and other meteoro-
logical conditions along the path of to-
tality for the period from May 10Th to
June 10Th in the years 1897 and 1898.
The results for the former year have
already been referred to, and those for
the year 1898, containing reports from
eighty seven stations, are given in the
Monthly Weather Review for Sep
tember
Last years observations give precise
ly the same result as was obtained in
1897, namely, the weather conditions in
the interior of Georgia and Alabama
were better than in Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi
and Louisiana, and it would be much
safer for the eclipse expeditions to To-
cate their stations in the northern por-
tions of Georgia and Alabama, upon the
southern end of the Appalachian Noun
tains, where the track crosses the ele-
waited areas, than nearer the coast lime
in either direction northeastward to-
ward the Atlantic Coast, or southeast
ward toward the Gulf Coast On the
coast itself the weather is more un-
favorable than in any other portion of
the track The inquiry will be repeat
ed during May and June of the present
year.-Nature.

RAILROAD COMMISSION.
Special Meeting Called to Consider
Grain Rates.

SAN FRANCISCO, May pa spe-
cial meeting of the State Board of Rail-
read Commissioners has been called for
next Friday, when it is expected that
Attorney General Ford will be ready
with a written opinion as to whether
the 8 per cent. grain rate schedule pre-
pared by the former commission is con-
stitutional.
At their meeting next Friday the
Commissioners will also finally decide,
if possible, the question of giving Port
Costa more favorable rates on grain
shipments from the San Joaquin coun-
try than 1t now enjoys, as compared
with Stockton. Grain rates are now
80 cents per ton more to Port Costa
than to Stockton. The Southern Pa
cific wants to make the differential in
favor of Stockton 30 cents per ton, by
reducing rates to Port Costa 20 cents
per ton, and leaving the rates to
Stockton unchanged. The Stockton
people complain that such a change
would greatly injure the city's grain
shipping business and permit the Port
Costa warehouse owners to monopolize
the grain business.
