Relief in Sight Mt Last.

Poor country roads are given as a
cause of agricultural depression in
testimony before the industrial COM
mission. The farmer is at disadvan-
tage in the market, and the cost of
carrying on his work and delivering
his produce is greatly increased, thus
lessening the profits which rightfully
belong to him. Fortunately there is
distinct movement in favor of better
roads, not only in the north and west,
but in the middle states and south.

BRITISH CRUISER
PHAETON ARRIVES
Left EsquimaIt in Fruitless Quest
of the Inflated Sioop of
War Condor.

The British second class cruiser Phae-
ton arrived from San Francisco yester-
day morning, after a trip of 81 days from
San Francisco. She was dispatched from
EsQuimalt in search of the British sloop-
of-war Condor, which sailed from Es-
quimalt for Honolulu on December OF
last year, and has never since been heard
Of
The Phaeton first cruised along the
northern coast and put in at Astoria,
from whence she proceeded to San
Francisco. She found absolutely no signs
of the missing vessel.
After coaling at San Francisco, the
Phaeton was ordered to Honolulu. She
took things easy coming down, and a
sharp lookout was kept all the while for
traces of the Condor. Only one vessel
was sighted during the entire three
weeks.
Unusually bad weather was experience
ed but the cruiser behaved herself won
derfully well and weathered the storms
in better shape than the big passenger
boats seem to have done.
When the Phaeton entered the harbor,
Lieutenant Rodman of the L. s. 5. Iro-
quois boarded her and the American flag
was displayed at the main and salute
of 81 guns fired. In return the British
flag was hoisted at the naval station and
a salute fired from the shore battery.
Almost Immediately after the Phaeton's
arrival British Commissioner Hoare
went aboard and delivered sealed orders
to Captain Fleet
The cruiser will return to Esquimait
next Saturday Captain Fleet had in
tended going to Tanning Island, but the
finding of wreckage off the northern
coast has materially changed his plans.
Captain Fleet entertains little hope but
baT ha Condor the hOItOm.
and the officers and men of the Phaeton
share his opinion.
The Phaeton is a second-claSs cruiser
of 1900 tons displacement, and has had
an active career in the Pacific, frequently
making trips between Esquimalt and far
southern ports. Her commander, Cap.
tain Fleet, formerly commanded the
British cruiser Icarus. which was here
little over year ago. He is well ac-
quainted with this part of the Pacific.
The Phaeton has, until the past few
months. been stationed at Panama. Her
officers are as follows:
Captain. Ernest j. Fleet; Navigating
officer, George N Tomlin; Lieutenant
Frederick A. Whitehead, executive; Lieu

Why She Stayed Outside.

We quoted recently statement of the
Honolulu Gazette, approving the course
of the U. S. S. Wisconsin in not entering
Honolulu harbor for fear of injury due
to shallow water and the narrowness OF
the channel. naval officer stationed at
Honolulu informs US that there would
have been no danger to the Wisconsin,
as there is 80 feet of water over the bar
entering the harbor of Honolulu and
that depth of water may be found all the
way in TO and alongside the u. s. Naval
wharves, and vessels drawing 80 feet of
water may enter the naval slips. The
Navy has two magnificent wharves at
this station, one sos feet long, the other
400 feet in length, with two intervening
slips of the same length and 40 feet in
width The Army transport Meade,
which is larger, longer and OF greater
draught than any other vessel entering
Honolulu harbor, has been moored at the
Naval wharves several times. When she
sailed from Honolulu the last time she
drew Is feet II inches of water, and GER
tainly made no report that she touched
bottom. There is no harbor where ships
can enter with greater facility than the
harbor of Honolulu, the course is
clear and straight to the naval docks.
The u. S. S. Wisconsin did not remain
outside for the want of sufficient water
in the channel or harbor. but on account
of the health conditions which existed at
that time.-Army and Navy Journal

Bad for The Tanner.

The brig Tanner, Captain Newhall, is
now % days out from San Francisco.
She is only of 276 tons burden, and if she
was in the storm which the Sierra and
Moana passed through, it is likely to
have gone hard with her. She left Port
Blakeley for Honolulu with a cargo of
lumber, and put into San Francisco leak
ing and with her pumps refusing to
work. She is a very old vessel, and Cap
tain Newhall is the oldest skipper on the
coast, having come out in the bark Flor
ida in $50, when he was 10 years OF age.

Relic Found In Scotland.

An interesting relic of the Roman
occupation of Scotland has just been
discovered during building operations
at Falkirk, in the form of large
stone, about nineteen inches broad, ten
inches thick. over four feet high and
weighing probably half ton. 1t is
beautifully sculptured in high relief.
The ornamentation is divided into two
panels, the larger one being at the top.
These panels are separated by band
about one and n half inches broad,
which is carried round both panels,
meeting at an angle at the top of the
stone. Under the angle is a beautiful
shell-like device. delicately executed.
The upper panel is completely flied
by horse and rider. the warrior car
rying a sword triumphantly aloft. The
figure is pictured in full armor and
bears shield. The lower panel repre-
sents naked mana wild Celt. pre-
sumably-prone on the ground, his
shield and weapon lying beside him.
The profile is perfect and the stone is
in a complete state of preservation.

"Ten years imprisonment in the mil
