FEAR MUTINY

Wisconsin Leaves Har-

Hurriedly.

VICTORIA. B. c., Dec. 25.lThe sailing
OF the United States battleship Wisconsin
from Honolulu one day ahead CT the time
scheduled for her to leave created sur
PRISE at that place.
- The Wisconsin was supposed to sail for
Acapulco on December H. but on Decenl-
Der IL she quietly and without notice left
the harbor. 1t Is aseertained that the
cause OF ner premature departure was the
Iact that the linen were quarantinetl
ABOARD the ship on account of an epidemic
OF measles. This prevented the men from
gong ashore and was so detrimental TO
olSclpnne' that to avoid trouble the Wis
consin sailed one day earlier than was
expected.
"A large number of vessels bound for
Honolulu at the time of the steamer Aro-
rangl departure We're overdue. Among
tnls fleet were the schooners Churchill and
Novelty and the ship Prince Louis from
NeWcastle, all of which are long ovor-
due. From the same port the schooners
Ropert Searles and Susie M Plumlner and
the bark James Johnson are due.
From Puget Sound and Oregon ports the
list is long one, and includes the bark
entlne Quickstep, thirty-six days out from
Tacoma for I<ahului and the ship S. u.
Carleton, fortyfour days out from Ia
coma. The barkentine Klickitat is twen-
ty-sevsn' days out from Port Ludlow; bark
Seylon twenty-nine days out from Port
Gamble; schooner Bendixsen, forty-one
days out from Port Blakeley.
Muriel and w. F. Witzemann are out
thirty and thirty seven days respectively,
and from Eureka the brig ConSuelo is out
tWenty-seVen days for Hilo.
A strong southerly wind has prevailed
for the past few days. This, 1t was ex-
pected, would bring in some of the New
castle fleet. On account of the prevailing
winds inter-island traffic is almost aban-
doned. Several schooners engaged in the
trade have not been able to go out. Sew
eral steamers have had hard trips.

Roosevelt Will Retain
2 Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Wilson.
Pacific Coast Man Likely to
Be Head OF the Interior
Department.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

p, WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-Official an
nouncement was made from the White
House tonight that Leslie NJ. Shaw of
Iowa will become Secretary of the Treas
ury, and his acceptance of the position in
Roosevelt 8 Cabinet vii vii not affect E5 the po-
the question as to the Presidents atti-
tude' toward Secretary Wilson.
. The late President Mckinley found Will
son a good adviser during the war with
Spain and afterward, because he was in
touch with Western people and followed
the sound common-sense views which
represent the patriotic spirit of the coun-
try. Wilson was the first man in pubic
life to declare that the flag which Dewey
nnturled over Manila Bay should never be
Withdrawn and that the Philippine ISL
ands must become American territory.
While other statesmen waited he spoke
out, and the country ind0psed his utter
anee, so that Mckinley. after his trip TO
the West. gave official assurance that the
nag raised in Manila would never be
hauled down,
Iowa viii have two members Of the Cab
met but both of them are more than
Iowa men sfhey are both Western men,
Who represent the great AGRICULTURAL see
ton of the country, and are as popular in
Illinois, Nebraska and the West as in
their own home State.
With Shaw, Wilson and Payne repre-
sentnF the Mesieaippi Valley, the next
change in the Cabinet will probably be to
select man from the Weet fully ae-
quhinted with the needs Of the mountain
section and the Pacific Coast for Seere-
tary of the Interior. When Secretary
Long rCtires an Eastern man will succeed
him as Secretary OF the Navy.
To Senator Dolliver OF Iowa, whose re-
latonE with Governor Shaw have been
cldse the latter's selection for the Treas
ury portfolio gave the greatest pleasure.
''The Governor" he said has demon
strated by speeches delivered before
Chambers of Commerce and banking
associations in every large city OF the
United States the soundness Of his theory
of our banking and currency system. He
is not only a student of these questions.
but has been for many years a successful
banker In selecting him the President
undoubtedly acted in great measure
upon his personal familiarity with Gov
ernor Shaw's abilities in dealing with the
special subjects that belong to the Treas
TRY Department"

REMEMBER THE DATES
Meeting to Consider New Enterprise
 The Antiquarian Society.

Several days ago a lengthy article appeared in this paper editorially set ting forth plan proposed by Dr. J. Miller of Phoenix for the exploitation of the immense ruin that stands along side the Tempe road midway between Phoenix and Tempe.
 Dr. Miller has now arranged for meeting of the men and women of thls city and all others who may be inter- ested at the board of trade rooms on Saturday afternoon. March 9th. at 2 o'clock. The object of this meeting will be to take the initiative step along the line set forth in the article referred to or some other that may DC deemed bet ter. For the information of those Who may not have seen that number of The Republican, it may be explained that the idea is for the people of this city to contribute a thousand dollars an nually, or such other sum as may be expedient for the exploration of this old ruin, everything found in the na- ture of a curio or specimen to be kept at the ruin and protected for the pur- pose of forming the nucleus of local museum. This. 1t is believed, would prove a good financial investment for the people of Phoenix. laying aside the fact of the scientific interest which such an enterprise would foster A careful consideration of the plan Is the least that. in justice. can be given, and it is hoped a good attendance WIT be present on that day.
 The other date to be reme mbered is the annual meeting of the Arizona Antiquarian society. This will be held one week later. or on March l6th. The place has not been decided upon yet. but members of the society and those interested. will be given notice in due time. The antiquarian society will. of course, take a scientific interest in the matter first referred to above. as the society holds a deed to the land on which the old ruin stands. but the proposed enterprise of opening it up is something that is to be placed be- fore the people of this city, not as an tiquarians alone, but as business proposition. .,
