WAR RATES CHARGED.
Extra Insurance Paid by Trans
Pacific Steamers.

San Francisco, April 1.-THE Ex-
aminer says: Vessels bound from this
coast to Chinese and japanese ports
must carry extra insurance and have
been put on a war risk basis. This
means a heavy addition to the usual
rates OF insurance and comes in the class
of special hazards. The reason for this
decision on the part of the Marine I'm
derwriters is the strained relationship
between Japan and Russia.
The first vessel on which war risks
were written was the Hong Kong Maru,
one of the Japanese line. She sailed yes
terday and carried extra lines of insur-
ance on both hull and cargo.

FIRST CABLE RAIsED
In the Construction of the New East
River Bridge.

New York, April 12.-Accompanied by
the screeching Of whistles and the cheer
ing of thousands Of spectators on both
sides Of the East river. the first cable
Of the new East river bridge was raised
from the bed Of the river and drawn
taut by a powerful engine until 1t WAS
120 feet above the surface OF the water.
Thousands viewed the raising Of the
cable from the shores, while many tug
boats yachts and craft Of all kinds ran
up near enough so that those on board
would witness the work.
An interesting feature of the affair
was the giving Of a long chain of signals
reaching from a man on the New York
side Of the river to the engineer who
controlled the engine. which stretched
the cable. The actual raising OF the ca
Bile lasted just seven minutes. While it
was going on all traffic in the river at
that point was stopped.
After being drawn back $40 feet over
the top of the tower on the Williams
burg side the cable was put in clamps
and firmly fastened to the massive an
chorage of masonry.
