She had a bad list to starboartl and

Tatoosh went out and picked up the
Nelson, passing hawser. The tug
started offshore with the ship owing to
the gale. 1t was the intention of Cap

she broke from the tug and then turned
turtle, sinking n once.

The Pacific coast delegation, headed
by John L. Morgan of Portland, il
fighting for the re-enactment of the
Chinese exclusion law with amend
ments to make its provisions apply to
all Mongolians and its operation unlim-
tied as to years.
Delegates from the shipbuildin9
trades are making a vigorous cam.
paign for demand from the fedora
ton that the government build its own
ships and not let out the contracts to
private parties. who pay less wages
and exact more labor than does the
government.
Almost every delegate is taking an
active interest in the trades autonomy
matter, and of all the subjects billed
for discussion it promises TO provoke
the most talking. The miners and sta
tionary engineers and firemen are at
war over the jurisdiction of the engi-
neers and firemen at collieries, the
brewery workers and teamsters are in
conflict over the drivers of brewery
wagons, the woodworkers and ear
penters propose to thrash out their
long standing feud about the jurisdic-
ton over men employed in carpenter
shops, and the typos and machinists
are disputing over linotype machinists,
and so on.
The color line will also be the sub
ject of what gives promise of being an
animated discussion.

THE EXECUTIVE ENGINEER.
Position That Is Exciting the Am.
bition of Students in All Me-
chanicaI Departments.

Engineers-mechan and civil
now make it their ambition to be-
come, not consulting experts, but
executives. Among military and naval
cadets, the most brilliant and success
full students eagerly enter the engin-
eering corps of the service, and be-
come in after years the most thor
ough and successful officers, says the
Engineering Magazine. The same ten.
dency is pervading commercial life.
This state of affairs is becoming more
and more prevalent. The managers u
street railway, gas, electric lighting
and similar companies are, in the main,
men of engineering training. The
general management of broader man.
ufacturing industries is being ccnGen-
trated in the same direction. The g.
partmental organization of commere,
requires men who shall be, first of all,
able executives-second, experts in
the departmental work. In all except
ing purely specialized branches-such
as the legal or financial-use is being
made of the trained engineer. Sales
men of mechanical goods, railway
transportation department officials
and incumbents of many other appar-
emily unrelated fields are made from
engineering timber. The highest ex-
ecutive positions in the great indus
tries are accessible to men of mechan-
zeal training and common sense.

SERPENT UTILIZATION.
Black Snake to BE Employed by Its
Captor i'm Kidding His
Place of Mice.

A few days ago passengers on car
of the Middle river line were given
a remarkable exhibition of snake
catching between Black and Middle
yivers. AS the car was speeding along
the motorman saw large blacksnake
crossing the rails. He stopped his car
and pursue3>the snake with the switch
stick in his h,pd. He was about to
kill it when passenger jumped off
the car and begged him not to kill the
snake, as he wanted to take ii alive.
The stranger quietly approached the
snake, grabbed it firmly Just below
the head, and held it up. 1t was nearly
seven feet long, and it entwined itself
about it's captor in manner that fair
ly chilled the blood in the veins of the
onlookers, says the Baltimore Ameri-
can.
The man then starIed to board the
car with his prize out this was too
much for the passengers. and with one
accord they blaclballed the snake.
They appealed tc the conductor to
put man and snake off the car, but the
nerve of the official failed him as he
approached the man holding the ugly
reptile. A compromise was finally
agreed on by which the man and his
pet were to be given full possession
of the rear platform, and the car pro-
ceeded to its destination.
When questioned as to what he in
tended to do with the snake, the man
stated that he was going to take it
home and turn it loose for the purpose
of Kidding the place of mice.
