Transport ssrvlcs May Be Abolis he'd

Strong pressure is being applied to the
War Department by the steamship In
terests of the Pacific Coast for the pur-
pose of inducing Secretary Root to order
the abolition of the army transport serv-
ice. Such action is opposed by Quarter
master General LUdington, who has just
returned from the Philippines where he
made an inspection of the Quartermas-
ters department and particularly OF the
transport service. General Ludington
went TO Manila in a government trans
port and returned by a commercial YES
sci, for the purpose of making a COM
parison between the operation of the
two systems. He said today that the
comparison is greatly TO the advantage
of the government vessels. Nevertheless,
ii is claimed that the use of the COM
mercial vessels would mean a considera-
BILE saving of money to the government
and it IS probable that this view viii
eventually result in the decision to sci
the transports and use the private steam
ship lines. The especial difficulty in the
way OF this acton is the making of pro-
vision for the care of the sick. On the
returning from the Philippines are ten
derby treated and surgeons and nurses
look after their wants. The officers o.
posed to the transport system say that
no difficulty in caring for for the sick
has been experienced in the transporta-
ton of patients from Cuba and Porto
Rico and none will arise in the Pacific

SHIPPING NOTES.

The schooner Aloha will probably
sail for the Coast today.
The schooner H. c. Wright is at
present lying at the Railroad wharf
waiting for sugar.
The barkentine Quickstep. now on her
way here from Tacoma. has a load of
$4,000 feet of lumber.
The bark Tillie E. starbuck expects
to leave this port for the Coast to-
day as soon as she has been fumigat-
ed.
The bark Santiago VIII take in some
rock ballast this morning to stiffen her
sufficiently to enable her to unload the
rest of her cargo. She is lying at the
Oceanic wharf.
Upon a recommendation by Collector
of the Port r. a. Stackable, the fine
of $50 which was imposed upon Cap
tain Drew of the Andrew Welch for
not having his masters license renew
ed, has been reduced to so. The term
of such a license is only one year. and
the renewal of it is more or less of
formal matter.
Sea captains wanting ballast for their
vessels in this port are for once enjoy
ing uncommonly cheap rates. Besides
the railroad company there are about
seventeen japanese and four or five
white men in the ballast business, and
the competition has waxed so fierce
that only so cents a ton is paid at pres
ent, and a certain firm here is ready
to drop the price as far as so cents a
ton. Now the captains are looking for
the time to come when they can get
ballast for paying for the hauling of it.
