OIL FOR STEAMER FUEL,

SAN FRANCISCO, February IL
Crude oil is to be used for fuel in the
redstack tug Rescue, which has been
chartered by the Union Oil Company
for six months, with the option of a
longer lease The tug is employed in
towing the oil barge Santa Paula to
and from Southern California. While
the cost of converting the tug into an
oil-consumirg vessel will be consider
able, the company believes the new
method will in the end prove more
economical and clearly than present
methods, and in this instance the cost
of oil fuel will be comparatively slight,
as the company's own wells will pro-
duCe 1t. There are only a few steam
ers on the Coast using oil for fuel. but
in every case, it is reported, the expert
ments have been successful. The steam
schooner Pasadena, plying between
Port Los Angeles and northern lumber
ports, has been using oil for a long
time, and so has the steamer Falcon,
owned and operated by the Bannings,
on the Southern California coast. The
steamer George LOomis, owned and
operated by the Pacific Coast Oil Com
pany, has been burning oil ever since
the vessel was built, and with signal
success.

ZEALANDIA COMING.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 13.-At
O'Clock this afternoon the Oceanic
Company's steamer Zealandia, Captain
Dowdell, will sail for Santa Monica or
San Pedro to take on board a party of
800 Porto Rican laborers for the plan
tations of Hawaii The men, with
their families, have been brought across
the country on the Southern Pacific
railroad, and it will tax the capacity
of the Zealandia to carry the crowd to
the islands. The steamer will take no.
thing from here except about 300 tons
of freight. Profiting by past expert
ence the men in charge of the Porto
Ricans will land them at Hilo, Kahu-
lui and other ports nearest to the plan
tations upon which they are to be en-
ployed, avoiding Honolulu, where many
of the Porto Ricans and negroes pre-
viously taken down awaited themselves
of opportunities to work in Honolulu
and refused to proceed to the planta-
lions. The Zealandia, upon returning
from Hawaii, will be temporarily laid

THE SANOANS GET MONEY
PAID FOR THE ARMS THAT THEY
SURRENDERED.
Taxes i'm Tutuila-United States Reg
ulations on the Subject-Governor
Solf and the Unsurrendered Arms.

SAMOA, January 23.-The $41176
cash subscribed by the governments Of
Germany, Great Britain and the Unit
ed States for payment to the Samoans

after the war, has been paid out to the
Samoans in Apia under the supervis-
ion of Governor Solf, representing Ger
many; Consul General Osborn for the
United States, and Vice Consul Trood
for Great Britain. 1t was well known
that many natives of both parties did
not surrender their arms when called
upon by the High Commission. Gov
ernor Solf offered to pay High Com
mission rates, thus Withdrawing the
penalty imposed by the commission for
non-surrender. Already some 400 guns
have been brought in and more are to
arrive in Apia from the country. In
response to the wish of the Tutuila
natives an order has been promulgated
by Lieutenant-C Commander Dorm, u $.
N, commanding the station, to the ma
tive governors, at the desire of Cover
nor b. f. Tilley, who is still in New
Zealand appraising the taxes to be
paid in Tutuila at the sum of $500 in
produce. The Government intends to
handle the sale of the produce in the
interest of the Samoans.
At the United States naval station at
Tutuila many improvements are being
made new building for public offices
is being erected, the coal shed is being
completed and it is expected to have
it ready for the reception of the coal
to be brought from New Zealand by

WORK OE A RAT

SAN FRANCISCO, February IA
rat almost sent the large German
steamer Eva to the bottom of the
ocean. As already published, the YES
sci was seven days out on the trip
from Portland to Yokohama with a
cargo of flour when a leak was discov-
cred, which caused the steamer to put
in here for repairs. The cause of the
leak was not known until several hun
bred tons of the -four were taken from
Eva when it was found that a rat had
gnawed through a lead scupper pipe,
evidently for the purpose of quenching
thirst The steamer was brought down
from Port Costa yesterday, and after
the repairs are completed will reload
her cargo and resume her trip.

ANTI-SALOON LEAGTE.

DR.. Chapman made an earnest appeal
last night at Central Union Church for
the organization of an anti-Saloon
league in Honolulu. He spoke effect
lively of the advantages of such an or
ganization The trouble with the pro-
hibition party he said, was that it did
not take the saloon out of politics but
demanded that the people give up their
political affiliations and fight for tenn
perance. This was exactly what the
proposed league did not require About
thirty people expressed their willing
ness to assist such a movement here.
DR.. Chapman will shortly complete the
organization and the work be begun.

FRIGHTENED THE DRIVER.
Horace Craft Enjoyed His Makeup as
a Clown.

OF all those who attended the Mardi
Gras ball Tuesday night Horace j.
Craft probably had the most fun. His
principal amusement occurred before
the reached the ball room however He
went disguised as a clown and so eX
cellent was his make up that few of his
friends recognized him. In addition to
the bright yellow suit with black spots
he painted his face in all manner of
gay clownish colors, and, in order to
make the disguise more complete, he
built a false bridge on his nose with
putty.
His sister had ordered a carriage
from a down town stable and a native
boy was sent to drive. Mr.. Craft was
ready before any one else at the house
so he got into the carriage alone to
await the arrival of the ladies. The
native driver was asleep. Mr.. Craft al
lowed the fellow to slumber for a few
minutes then he began to shake the
carriage. Suddenly the driver walked
and turning to ascertain the cause of
the commotion discovered the hideous,
grinning painted face over his shoulder.
Surprise instantly gave way to ter
ror and the fellow emitted a howl of
ear piercing power. Not once but a
score of times did the thoroughly
frightened native yell and cross him
self to escape the presence of the
dreaded monster. Evidently the driver
thought that all the kahunas that had
ever been in the islands hal consolidat-
ed into one being that being was at his
elbow
The boy raised such a disturbance
that people came out of the surround
ing houses to learn the cause. Mr..
Craft was so weak from laughter that
he could scarcely retain his seat in the
rig, much less hold onto the boy. If
a SiCta ha
would probably have taken fright and
bOlted and then the driver would have
sworn positively that a kahuna had
been at work. Finally the bows fears
We're allayed and he drove the party
down to the Drill Shed but at every OPP
portunitv he would keep his port lamp
on the hideous looking object by his
side. He knew there We're kahunas and
he was not going to take any more
chances than necessary.

SCARCITY OF TRANSPORTS.

SAN FRANCISCO, February IA
From present appearances there will
be no Army transport available to sail
on the regular trip of March LIST to
Manila via Honolulu and Guam. The
Sherman and Warren are both laid up
for repairs at a time when transports
are in greater demand than ever on
account of the need of transportation
for returning volunteers in the Philip

next Saturday, will carry one battalion

seventh Infantry regiments. The trans
port, will be used again to carry horses

BAD For FISHERMEN.

Fishermen Were Disguised yesterday
afternoon when the wind began to blow
from the south west. 1t looked as if
there would be a repetition of the re-
cent kona. The sea was rough with
big choppy waves and the wind was
very strong. Comparatively few of the
fishing fleet went out and as the fish
are not very plentiful during weather of
that kind it is not expected that the
fish supply will be large today.

ROBERT wADDELL WINS.
Comes In Under the Wire First in the
Great American Derby Race
sat Chicago.

Chicago, June 24.-The great Amer
lean Derby was won by Robert Wad-
dell, in 1888 AS. Terminus came in
second, two lengths behind and half
length ahead of Parader, with Bon.
hilbert fourth.
The fourteenth of these classic
events was speeded into history Sat-
urday by the acknowledged chief of
the new world turf, while cheers from
half hundred thousand threats went
up in adulation. No conqueror re-
turning from glorious battlefield with
plumber and prisoners in his train but
would flush with pride at such wildly
enthusiastic popular acclaim as greet
ed the victor of the race Saturday aft
ernoon, when, followed byavanquished
field and freighted with fame for
self and fortune for owner. the new
idol of the course came down the
stretch with the swiftness of an ex=
press train and shot under the wire.
No finer aggregation of racers ever
came to the post at the Washington
park track, and few fields have been
larger. The various entries seemed
SO evenly matched that victory was re-
garded as the property of anybody,
with the luck of the race course to
make the winner

SMOOTHING THINGS OVER.
state Department Sends COmmunlca-
ton to Russian Ambassador Re-
EardinE TnriH Matters.

Washington, June 24.-The state
department has addressed to the
Russian government, as represented
by Count Cassini, it's ambassador,
such representations respecting the
sugar and petroleum tariff contro-
versy as are deemed necessary to
meet the Russian action. The pur-
pose of the letter is to smooth away
if possible the friction that has been
ernments in the handling of these
two subjects and in particular to di-
vest the exchanges of any personal
character. To that end, as set out
in Secretary Cages statement is
sued Friday, the effort is made to
show that what has been done by
the United States government was in
a manner brought about by the auto
matte operation of the American tar
iff laws. The facts. set out by the
treasury statement ms to the provi-
sions of the countervailing duty seq
ton of the Dingley law are recited
together with the circulars and in
structions of the treasury depart
ment issued Hereunder. AS the
Russian government has been espe
cially irritated over the proceeding
as to Russian sugar imports into the
United States, particular attention Ia
given to that subject and reasons are
adduced to bring the Russian govern
ment to believe it should remit the
increased duties ON American goods.

HARD FIGHT WITH EAGLE.
Attache of Lincoln Park at Chicago
L. Injured by n Powerful Bird
He Is Trying to Secure.

c. w: McCurren, head animal-keeper
at Lincoln park, Chicago, was severely
injured in a fight with an eagle the
other day. Edwin Franklin Brown, of
Evanston, has long kept pair OF
golden eagles in private aviary. They
are unusually large specimens of their
kind and Mr.. Brown presented them
to Lincoln park. Mr.. McCurren went
to Evanston to fetch them to Lincoln
park. He entered the big cage, cap
tured the female eagle and handed It
to an assistant on the outside. When
he turned to catch the other eagle the
bird attacked him savagely.
AS it swooped upon him McCurrsn
caught 1t by the leg in his left hand
and held at arms length. With its
disengaged claws the eagle clutchsd
the mans arm and sank its long, sharp
talons into his flesh. By the wonder
full strength of grip of the birds foot
one of its talons was driven into the
wrist so that its point showed for half
an inch through the skin.
The eagle continued to belabor its
captor with its pinions until an attend
ant rushed in and, clasping the bird in
his arms, gave Mr.. McCurrsn an op-
portunity to withdraw the talons.
Mr.. McCurren's injury was painful
one and was dressed by physician.
It has resulted in temporary paralysis
OF his hand.

HUGE GEM FOR FAIR.
The biggest Diamond In America Has
Been Shipped to Buffalo
for Exhibit.

The biggest diamond in the Unit
ed States has been shipped from
New York to Buffalo to form part of
a jewelry firms display at the Pan
American exposition.
1t Is bright canary color, abso-
lutely fawless, but though it weighs
207h carats, or over 100 carats
more than the famous Kohinoor dia-
mond belonging to the British
crown, it is not worth nearly as
much because the Kohinoor is clear
white.
This diamond, unearthed year
ago in Kimberley, in the rough
weighed 600 carats. A syndicate
bought it from the De Beers COM
pany. Several months cutting in
Amsterdam reduced the stone two
thirds in weight, but the job was
well done and the stone now has
81 facets which bring out every bit
of luster it has.
"We received the stone few days
ago." said one of the owners the
other day, "by express steamer.
The duty of ten per cent. ran up
into the thousands. We value it at
over 100000. What we will eventu-
ally sell the diamond for depends
upon circumstances. It is hard to
place any value upon such a stone"
