No Chanse in tho Navy,

n
Washington, New. sO.-Secretary Long
said that no chang is#contemplate in
the command of the Asiatic station. and
the detail of Rear Admiral Fred Rodgers
to duty on that station was merely for
the purpose of giving Rear Admiral
Remey, the commandant OF the station,
much needed assistance.
Owing to the large size OF the ASiatic
squadron and the important duties de-
svolying upon 1t at present in conse-
squence of the troubles in China and the
Philippines, it has been thought expedi-
ent to divide the responsibilities OF the
navy in that quarter among three adj
mirals instead of between two as at
present. Rear Admiral Remey, as the
senior officer. will continue in supreme
command Of the naval forces and will
act in the character of general manager
OF the operations of the fleet, which will
be divided into two divisions, one oper-
ating in Chinese waters and the other in
the Philippine archipelago. Admral
Rodgers undoubtedly will be placed in
command of the China fleet.

The lot of the deep water sailor is undoubt-

keepers say that if many more laws are passed
against them the sailors life will be whiskey

shortage of sailors is expected during the
coming winter, and many shipping people be-
lieve that the boarding house masters will go
back to shanghaing methods on larger scale.
They have very simple way OF forcing men to
sea against their will, and in fact without their
knowing anything about it until the shin is a
day or so out of port. Owing to the large num-
ber of sailors shipped from this port the masters
are not often detected. Tney take good sailor

and the worst of it is that the leaders have as
yet found system to substitute for it
For years and years the boarding house run
ners have gone out to vessels long before they
got into the harbor. The houses which are
members of the Boarding House Keepers Be
nevolent Association have erected a clubhouse

to the house that shipped them in the past. The
new sailors are secured by the present of a bot

pledged to go to the house which makes the
present. They may not get ashore for a week
but they belong to the house which sent the
whskey, and the runner will fight for his men,
Sometimes sailor accepts more than one pres
ent, and he is very likely to find himself the
central point in a tug-of-war contest when he
finally gets ashore.
1t has also been the custom to take many
men ashore in the runners boats The runners
tell the sailors of the fine times they can have
on shore of unlimited whiskey and beer which
Will be supplied them, of the pretty girls who at
tend sailor dances, of the fine meals that will
be furnished them. 1t does not take much of
this kind of talk to convince the sailor that he
would do well to pay his captain $5 for an i'm
that he won't have any money for four days, but
the boarding house men promise to advance all
necessary funds and usually carry off a good
portion of the crew. This new law which pre-
vents boarding vessels in the stream will do
away with this practice, and this is another
cause of grief.
THE BOARDING HOUSE RUNNERS

till the sailors reach the docks there will be war

The outside man is always making an uphill
fight, and will have a much better chance if
everybody has to stay shore. Already there
has been one big fight between the two factions.
1t some British sailors who landed
at TWenty-siXth-st Brooklyn. Some blood was
shed before the outsiders got away with their
sailors, but no one dreamed of calling for the
police or asking the courts for warrants for
assault. Ii seems to be part of the business to
take things as they come and keep as far away
from the law possible There are sixty-five
regular sailors boarding houses in this city and
Brooklyn and thiTty-five other places which
pay some attention to tae business: between
three and four hundred men are interested in

amount An allotment note is turned over to
the master. which is paid when the ship gets to
sea. The officials say that the sailors pay will
disappear just as rapidly if he does not get
ashore till the boat docks as it did when the
runners brought him ashore from the ship. They
think there will be more sailor robberies if he
does not have a good time credit. There is
also some doubt to whether the law will be
enforced Some of the runners are still going
out to ships, but the majority are waiting
shore and swearing at the lawmakers.
