lights in English Waters.

The question of lights and fog sig
lals around our coasts is still agitat-
ing the minds of nautical men here,
says the London Shipping World, and
while everyone is grateful to the Ad-
visory Board for the good work it has
done, yet it is felt that its powers are
Of too limited a character. Many ad-
vocate the abolition of the existing
lighthouse authorities, but do not sug-
gest what power should take their
places. All this goes to show how dis
contented ship owners are with the ex-
lsting state of things. especially as
regards the light dues and the amount
Of representation they have up to the
present had. A few serious disasters
during the coming winter weather may
emphasize the need of something more
Ip-to-date being provided in the most
dangerous localities.

Alameda Sailed For Frisco.

Music and flowers prevailed at the
departure of the Oceanic Steamship
Alameda for San Francisco. The YES

scheduled time yesterday afternoon
taking a fair-sized passenger list, a
large amount of sugar in her hold. be
sides 5000 punches of bananas, a por-
tion of which were carried on deck.
The Territorial band played several
Of their new pieces in their musical
send-off to the steamship. The occa-
sion proved a good harvest of shin
ing shekels for the lei women. The
officers of the Alameda expect the
vessel to make much better time on
the up trip than was made on her ini-
tial trip several weeks ago. With her
engines becoming better adjusted
each voyage. and competant crew in
the fireroom. the expectations of the
officers bid fair to becoming realized

II is more than likely that there will
be, shortly. several new regulations
governing the uniforms worn by the
employees Of the United States army
transorts in the Philippine Island sta
tions. says the Manila American.
Heretofore the crossed an
chors surmounted by an eagle have as
4 badge on the cap been in general
use by all white employees in the is
land transports that carry native crew
and petty officers That badge is the
only distinctive one by which the deck
officers are TO be recognized The
propeller" marks the engineer officer,
and the crescent" the stewards or
eommlssary department.
On the older transports the marks
were kept distinctive and separate.
and il is said TO be the intention of the
Manila authorities TO enforce the regu-
lation here, even il II does put 8 little
less ornament on quartermaster agent
and clerks serving on island trans

In the same line comes the report
that the naval officers viii be permit
