HOT TINE ON A TRANSPORT
THE wESTMINSTER'S TRIP FROM
SAN FRANCISCO.
Bitter Complaints About the Food Sup
ply-Men Deserving Here-Forty
Horses Lost in Calm Weather.

The Westminster is a balloon, say
the men who Travelled on the last horse
transport to arrive here from San Fran
cisco. She is the highest roller that
ever put to sea, in the opinion of the
enlisted men and teamsterS. The fact
that she lost thirty five horses in calm
weather bears out the statements Of
the men. According to some of them
the vessel very seldom touches the sea.
Il don't know how the Westminster
would behave in the water" said one
disguised seaman, but in the air she's
| a corker."
Thirty-five horses died during the
Westminster's eleVen-day trip from San
Francisco, though there was no rough
weather to speak of. The horses were
well looked after by DR.. Locke, but the
vessel rolled so heavily that he could
not save them. She is fitted up like the
Victoria was when the latter met with
disaster after leaving Seattle. There
are high top-decks, with bales of hay
piled on them, and the boat is top
heavy. The decks are not fast, but actu-
ally slide to and fro with the rolling of
the vessel. The Westminster looks as
if she could beat the Slams record if
she struck a little bad weather. The
horses and mules that were put ashore
from here are fearfully mutilated. Five
more of them died after reaching the
coral, making a loss of forty out of
306
There was trouble on the Westmin-
ster all the way down on account of the
food. The men are bitter in their COM
plants regarding the stuff served out
to them. They voiced their objections
to Lieutenant Winter, who complained
to the captain of the vessel, but things
were still so unsatisfactory that the
men are deserving the vessel today, and
trying to get their money. Those who
are compelled to stay are talking of an
appeal to Colonel Ruhlen, in the hope
that he will do something for them or
compel the setting of a better table.
The men say that stew follows stew in
one unceasing round, and that they are
not given any coffee with most of their
meals. Another complaint is that they
can get no tobacco on board. The gov
eminent allows So cents a day ration
money for the feeding of the men Yes
terday the oilers left the vessel and
declared that they would not return and
several of the teamsters announced
similar intention. They have no money
and may not be able to get their pay.
They are hoping that Colonel Ruhlen
will try to do something for them, be-
fore the Westminster starts on her
long journey to Manila.
The Westminster was painted white
in San Francisco and has acquired the
high top-decks since she was here about
two months ago. Many of the men on
her are the ones who were on the Vic
toria when the latter made her first
disastrous start from Seattle.

TALK WITH THE HELIOGRAPH. How the System of Signaling Now in
 Use in South Africa Is Operated

How the System of Signaling Now in
 gse In South Africa Is Operated
 Heliographing is .sun writing. By the use of the heliograph the suns rays are flashed over long distances. The letters of the Morse telegraphie code are used, and communication is comparatively easy on bright days. The instrument that Is now used to transmit heliograph messages is ex- ceedingly simple. It consists Of tripod carrying a horizontal rod at the top. On this rod is a mirror on one end and on the other small upright rod with movable button. This mir TOT is usually four and a half inches in diameter, and Is so arranged that 1t can be rotated both on a horizonta. and on a vertical axis. In the middle is a small unsilyered spot. The mir TOT is sighted by means Of this unsil- vered spot and the button on the rod in front, exactly as rife would ne aimed. If the button is raised so as to cover the destination of the Tnes- sage, which can be found by compass if it cannot be seen, and the shadow thrown by the unsilvered spot in the middle of the reflection covers the hut ton, the instrument is in position. There is a eontrivance by which the shutter is operated, opening and clos ing over the mirror by means of key, which is pressed like the key of telegraph instrument. A long flash stands for a dash, short one for a dot in the Morse system. The greatest distance ever overcome by the helio- graph was that operated over by the United States signal corps between Mount Uncompahgre, in Colorado, and Mount Ellen, in Utah. This was 18s miles. The flashes came and went as regularly as though the distance had been much shorter. Indianapolis prnsG

Whisky Ts Seasoned ny the Voyages Is
 Takes While in Bond.
 Large shipments of whisky in boud from American to European ports are constantly being made It is not de signed for foreign consumption, but wil' shortly be returned here and placed or sale at the best bars in the country, Several thousand barrels are now awaiting shipment at our seaports. While some of the whisky will be sent by Baltimore owners, the most of it will be from Cincinnati and other western cities After being kept in European warehouses for six months or year the greater part will then be brought back to this country for sac. The whisky to be sent out is of the 1891 and 1892 distillation, which must be taken out of the bonded warehouses because the eigh year limit has expir. ed. Whisky may be stored in a bonded warehouse eight years without being subject to the international revenue of $l.10 a gallon. At the expiration ot eight years it must be taken out. Rath-
 
 the money until the sale of the goods, some owners prefer to ship their sur plus stock to the other side and store them there until needed, claiming that the cost of freight both ways and stor- age in Europe will be less than the cost of meeting internal revenue re- auirements at time when there is no demand for the goods. The tax Is only required to be paid when whisky Is put on the market for consumption. so that goods shipped to Europe in bond are not taxed. They are brought back as required by the demands of the market here. Goods remaining in this country out of bond are supposed to be on the market. This method is pur- sued by dealers and distillers who overload themselves. The output in 1892 was heavier than the demand, and It is part of the surplus which is now going to Europe to await the time when it must be brought back to be placed On Nae market.
