Marion ChiIcOtt
LOADING OIL
For This POrI

Oakland oct 23.-For the first time
in the history of shipping in this city
a vessel is being loaded with crude
oil direct from the tank. Through a
lOinCh pipe the oil is being forced III
to the hold. The plan Is a new one,
between $1,000 and 10000 barrels of
oil can be loaded within a day.
The three.masted brigantihe Marion
Chilcoot. the vessel into which the oil
is being run. is owned by the Matson
Navigation Company. Captain A. p.
Nelson, commanding. Attached to ihe
vessel Is l0-inch canvas hose. This
curves over the side of the boat ana
connects with the steel pipe leading to
the tank The pipe is so arranged
that It can either be attached to the
tank or to oil cars. The vessel has a
capacity Of $4,000 barrels.
The Marion Chilcoot was formerly a
sugar boat She was only recently
transformed into an oil carrier. The
hull of the vessel Is divided into
twelve oil tanks and two Golfer dams.
Each tank is made of steel, and so sep.
arated from every other tank that,
should the oil get afre in one com
partment, 1t would not affect the oil
in the other tanks.
The oil, which is a high grade OF
crude oil from the McKlttrlck district
is being taken 10 Honolulu to be used
as fuel. The Matson Navigation Con
pany has leased a dock from the
Southern Pacific Company on the Ala
media side OF the estuary, and intends
to erect a complete oil.loading plant ca
the property.

London. Oct. 90. - In an editorial

ciple by which the United States must
refuse to be bound and cannot allow
to be converted into precedent,
namely, that a nation compelled to
land troops and lombard semi.savage
peoples for the protection of its own
citizens commits thereby a wrongful
act.
The Times says: Other powers.
we fancy. would be quite as slow as
the United States to recognize any
such principle. The objections TO II
are obvious and apply generally to all
powers whose subjects have relations
with imperfectly civilized communi.
ties. II will be prudent, however TO
wait for some more authoritative
statement of the purport Of the award
before crediting the assertion that II
lays down so novel and impracticable
a doctrine. King Oscar has been fire.

Butte. Mont, Oct. 2i.-One of the
most daring train robberies in the his
tory of the Northern Pacific road oc-
CURED early this morning at a lonely
spot, three and half miles west of
DrummOnd, Mont. So far as known,
but one man was engaged in the at
tempt to rife the express safe, but that
one was host in himself, for he killed
Engineer Dan O'Neill OF Missoula,
Cooped up whole train crew and an
entire trainload of passengers and kept
three men at work obeying orders. Sin
gle-handed, the desperaode captured
two cars, the express messenger, the
electrician of the train and the postal
clerk, and went about his task OF rifl-
ing the mails and attempting to blow
up the safe In the express car, with as
much GOODNESS and nerve as II enjoy

The robber Is believed to have board
ed the train at the water tank about
three and a half miles west of Bear
Mouth. Just after passing Bear Mouth
STATEN. where no stop was made, the
fireman started to put In coal. While
he was so engaged Engineer O'Neill
was shot in the abdomen and killed.
He attempted to grapple with the des-
perado, who had covered him with

ing as to whether there was one or
more men engaged in the robbery. The
fireman, mail clerk and express mes
senger say they saw but one man who
did all the work and all the shooting.
The conductor and passengers insist
there were two men at least engaged

Washington, Oct. 90. - An intima.
ton has been received here that King
, Oscar of Sweden, who is acting as the
arbitrator of the issues between the
United States. Germany and Great
Britain growing out of the Samoan re-.
bellion of 1899, will decide that the
facts presented to him In the briefs of
counsel, which have been pending tor
nearly year, warrant him in proceed.
Ing to assess the damages sustained
by foreign residents of Samoa as n re.
suit of the landing of combined
force of American and British sailors
and marines and the destruction of
property incident to the ensuing fight
with the rebels.
BY the terms of the treaty under
which the three powers agreed to sub.
nit these claims to arbitration the
arbitrator was first to declare whether
the Americans and British were at al
liable for damages and II so he was TO
determine the amount Of that liability.
lie has II Is understood. concluded TO
lecide the first question in the affirm.
tive. though II is stated here that no
,ffiCial notice to that effect has yet
Ieen conveyed to our Government.
The next step is to fix the amount of
he damages and this must be done by
ling Oscar, on the basis of the faces
how to he presented by the represent.
atives of the Governments concerned.
The German claims are far larger than
the others.
1t is not the amount Of money in.
volved in this approaching decision Of
the arbitrator that concerns the Gov.
eminent of the United States, but rath.
or the enunciation of principle.
which. II accepted as a precedent,
would be unpalatable and would so
seriously restrict the assertion of
American rights in foreign countries
in case Of revolution or rioting. jeop.
ardizing the lives and property Of our
citizens. that II would amount to tho
total withdrawal of our protection.
This cannot be admitted. and so II may
be positively stated that while the
United States Government will accept
the arbitration Loyalty and pay any
damages assessed against II. It will alb.
solutely refused to be bound by such a
principle or to recognize II as estab.
llshed as a precedent. Otherwise the
United States Government could be
held liable for enormous damages in
cases where II lands troops upon the
Isthmus Of Panama, resulting in a col.
llsion with rioters or rebels. even
though the Government is solemnly
