Repairs Delayed on Transports.

A dispatch has been received at the
War Department from Colonel Long.
quartermaster at San Francisco, show
there as a result of the strike, saws the
New York Sun of August g. 1t has
been found impossible to secure skill
ed labor, and almost impossible. to find
labor of any kind TO work on the ships.
| For this reason the government VIII
turn the transport Lennox over 10 her
owners without removing the govern
ment fittings. Heretofore 1t has been
the custom TO have a transport refitted
upon the expiration of her charter, as
she was when the government took
her. Colonel Long says that the com
merce of the port of San Francisco
has been practically tied up, and that
the strike situation there is more Sc
rious than at any time since it began
The government has been able to get
its ships fitted up, but with delay. The
fitzpatrick and Meade have been re-
paired and refltted, but the Sherman is
now tied up and nothing is being done
to her. The Logan is being fitted out
at the navy yard.
Suggestions have been made that the
work on the transport be done at
northern ports, but the Quartermaster- 5
department has experienced serious
difficulty at Seattle and Tacoma In Mt
ting the Egbert and the Rosecrans for
Alaskan trips on account of the
strikes. These transports were finally
retitted at the Puget Sound navy yard.
While the delays have been annoy
ing, they have not been of such char
acter as to cripple the government ser
vice, and no doubt is felt that sup
plies will be regularly sent to the
troops in the Philippines and in Alaska
The fact that there is no necessity for
a rapid movement of troops makes the
condition regarding the transports less
vexatiouS than otherwise

The Rev. Charles Williams, of the

from Honolulu by the American mail
steamer Ventura on her last trip down,

cricke, on tho M,owers.

One of the diversions aboard the
Royal Mail steamship Miowera Is
cricket playing, Despite the cramped
deck space and the uneven state of the
field while the vessel is blowing her
way across the Pacific, a splendid
game of practice cricket is played.
Nets are arranged on the port side or
the vessel along the main deck, and
the stumps and wickets are placed in
movable sockets on the deck. Bats are
used with as much energy on the deck
as on terra firma. On the voyage OF
the Miowera from Sydney on this trip,
cricket was the principal amusement.

Britannia Coming to Honolulu.

The cable steamer Britannia arrived
at Suva from Auckland and Norfolk
Island on July 20, says the Auckland
Herald. A report by the Rotokino,
which arrived last night, states that
after leaving Auckland soundings were
continually taken. Notwithstanding
very bad weather. The Fiji Times, OF
August g. says The specialists on
board the cable steamer Britannia, of
which there is one representing con-
tracing parties, and another the con-
tractors, have been busily engaged
with the local authorities during the
past few days in selecting two sites
one for landing the cable and another
as depot for workshops and a tank
to store spare sections of cable in Or
der that they may be available for ur-
gent repairs. AS the method of pre-
serving cable appears to be by sleeping
it in water, the process, if any extern
sive length of cable is kept as a re-
serve, win necessitate the erection OF
a corresponding tank accommodation.
We gather that the site selected for
this latter depot is in the neighbor-
hood of the government carpenter
shop on the road to the hospital" The
Britannia was to leave Suva for Fan
ming Island and Honolulu on August 5.

ger for the Auckland Harbor Board,
Mr. Burgess, is in receipt of a letter
from his brother, who, with his VITA.

will be remembered that stormy CON
ditions prevailed on the trip across,
therefore what he states in the letter
speaks volumes for the ship. TIE writ

the sea-going qualities of the ship, and
of the care and attention which pas

Americas,

Eight cents was paid by Americus
buyers yesterday for the best grades
of old cotton. this being the highest
figure reached by the market in some
time. Continued rains over the cotton
belt has caused a bullish feeling in
the market, and while new crop cot
ton, which is somewhat green as yet,
will not bring as much as that of the
old crop it is certain that prices will
advance materially IN a short while.
Only few more bales of new cotton
were received in Americas yesterday,
the heavy rains of the past two days
having interfered materially with
picking and ginning, The crop will
begin to move this week, however.

CHINESE INDEMNITIES.
Minister Wu EndeavOrinS to Reach
Agreement About Them.

Minister WI, the Chinese minister, called
at the State Department today and spent
nearly half an hour in close conference
with Acting Secretary Hill. He had no
late news from China, but was seeking to
assist, as far as he could, in the pursuit OF
some agreement that will settle the ques-
ton of indemnity for the losses suffered by
the foreigners in China from the Boxer
movement. 1t has been for some time
realized that there was little hope of the
ENJOYS in Pekin attaining any agreement
upon that important subject, and Mr.. Con-
gers reports have clearly indicated that
the subject must be dealt with elsewhere
than in Pekin if any concert of action is to
be maintained between the powers. 1t Is
pres umed that the foreign offices in Europe
and Japan are also being approached di-
rectly by the Chinese government on this
subject, and If success is had in reaching
the outline of a common understanding
something in the nature in joint effort is
expected TO follow and conclude the nego-
tiations on that point.
difficulties that have arisen at Pekin
over the attempt to ensure the ap-
plication of the death penalty to the Chi
nese offenders named in the ministers joint
note. But it is felt that the situation has
not changed in degree demanding any al
teration in the bases of the instructions on
that point already given to Mr.. Conger and
the indications are that the ministers at
Pekin will continue to work along on the
present line without interference from the
home governments at this stage.

BATTLE ON MOVING TRAIN
DESPERATE FIGHT BETWEEN
BRAKEMAN AND ROBBERS.
Former Finally OverpOwered and
Nearly Beaten to Denth-High-
waymen Escape.

CHICAGO, February 16.-On top of a box
car at the rear end of rapidly moving
freight train William ]. Bennett, a brake
man, gave battle to two highwaymen last
night. One of the robbers had a revolver.
With that one Bennett clinched. They
rolled and tumbled about on top of the
swaying car, each endeavoring to hurl the
other from the train.
After a desperate struggle Bennett sue
ceeded in getting his adversary in a posi-
tion where he able to throw him from
the car without going with him. At that
juncture the confederate of the robber
came into action. He saved his companion
and in a scuff1e with the brakeman struck
him from behind with a billy and rendered
him unconscious.
Angered because of his narrow escape,
the robber who had been worsted then set
upon Bennett he lay helpless and
pounded him mercilessly over the head and
face with the butt of his revolver, inf1icting
dozen wounds and knocking out several
of his victims teeth.
After searching Bennett and securing a
small sum of money and silver watch 1t
is supposed that the robbers jumped from
the train and made their escape. The as
sault took place on a train on the Lake
Shore tracks between 43d and 51st streets.
Bennett did not recover his senses until
the train reached Englewood. There the
train was moving slowly and. with blood
streaming from his wounds, Bennett
climbed down the side of the car and fell
from the train into the arms of Yard
master Flaws. The injured man was taken
to a hOSDital.

NO TARIFF WAR.
Count Cassini. the Russian Ambassa-
dor. SCOTS at Such an Idea.

The State Department has officially ad-
vised Count Cassini, the Russian ambas-
sador of the decision reached by the Treas
ury Department to impose a countervailing
duty on Russian sugar imported into the
United States.
Count Cassin is unwilling to express an
opinion as to what action his government
will take in regard to the imposition of the
additional sugar tax, probably preferring
to await developments from ST. Petersburg
However, he SCOTS at the idea that a seri-
Gus tariff war is probable
Our government has not yet been ad-
vised Of any retaiatory action by the Rus
sian government in answer to the treasury
decision as to the countervailing duty on
Russian sugar The expectation has been
growing that Russia would await a legal
decision, particularly as our government
will make every proper effort to facilitate
a speedy decision by the proper tribunals
upon this important subject It has been
made clear that after all, what has been
done by the Treasury Department is not
to render legal decision; the department.
has simply uttered what may be known as
an executive view of the meaning of the
countervailing duty section of the tariff
laws. That action has by no means the
force of a legal decision, and indeed, 1t
was expressly stated in Secretary Cages
letter to his collectors that the purpose OF
the action was to secure something more
than mere executive opinion upon a
sugar question. Secretary Gage having
concluded that the board of appraisers is
competent to pass, at least initally, upon
the liability of Russian sugar to the extra
duty, 1T Is entirely conceivable that the
Russian government may be sustained in
It's contention at very much earlier date
than If the test case were made in the
first place In the courts, for the boa rd
works very much faster and its decisions
are. for executive purposes, sufficiently
binding. Should the board hold thae Rus
sian sugar is not liable to the extra duty
that would be All end of the issue with
the Russian government. On the other
hand should the board declare for the
extra duty, the Russian government Mould
still have the right of appeal to the courts
These facts were the bases for the evpec-
tation In official circles that Russia would
await the decision of the test case before
beginning a tariff war which the people
of both the United States and Russia would
undoubtedly deprecate.
The Belgian minister. Count Lichtervelde
has taken notice of the reported action
of sthe treasury in applying the discrimina-
tory duty to Belgian sugar. also upon the
finding that that sugar is bounty aided,
and the State Department has heard from
him on the subject, it is believed.
