THE Collector of Customs has re-

THE Collector of Customs has re-
ceived a letter from Federal At
| torney Dunno, wherein he ac-
knowledges the receipt of the report
of H. ]. Halstead, master of the
American ship Benjamin Sewall, OF
Boston, Mass, which vessel entered at
| this port in distress from Vancouver
B. c., en- route to Freemantle, Austria
liza.
Captain Halstead failed to exhibit to
the boarding officer as is required by
article 1921. c. r. 1899, the crew list
from the last American port. The YES
sci above referred to cleared from Bal
timore. Md, on or about January f.,
1898, and according to the records and
report of the master of said vessel this
is the last American port from which
she cleared.
Collector of Customs Stackable there
upon wrote to Attorney Dunno asking
if the penalties prescribed by article
131, G. r. 1899, and the sections therein
cited, should be imposed upon the mas
ter for failure to exhibit the crew list
from the last American port? In his
reply to the Collector of Customs, Fed
eral Attorney Dunno went at length
into the wandering of the Benjamin
Sewall for the last four years. 1t ap-
pears that up to December %, 1900, the
ship had been under the command of
Capt. Arthur H. Sewall, and that on
that date, in the city of Victoria, colo
ny of Hongkong, H. J. Halstead. hav-
ing taken the oath required by law be-
fore w. F. AIdrich, V. and d. Consul
General, succeeded Captain Sewan as
master of the ship. After discharging
her cargo at Hongkong, the ship pro-
ceeded. after calls a various ports, to
Port Townsend. No entry was made
at the Port Townsend custom house,
as the voyage was continued within
twenty-four hours after reporting, but
while the ship was in Port Townsend,
her former master. Captain Sewan.
came aboard and removed all of the
papers and effects which he had left
aboard at Hongkong at the time of his
supersession by Captain Halsted
Ia his letter to the Collector of Gus
toms, Federal Attorney Dunno says
that in his opinion no penalty should
b. imposed. as it was no fault of Cap
tain Halsted that he was unable to
produce the original crew list, and as
the master of the Benjamin Sewall had
done all in his power to comply with
his legal obligations

CAPITAL CHAT.
Senator Hale and the Great
Appropriation Bills.
Prospects Of an Army Post at augusta
Not So Favorable.
Buildings viii Not Be Sold and Future
May See Post.

Washington, Feb. 7.-(SpeciaD. =
Senator Hale had one of his little bills
passed in the upper branch of the Ma
tional Legislature this week. The
senator himself called it my little
bill' on the floor when he was pressing
it for passage. And it was little bill
for Senator Hale, who is one of the
past masters of the Senate, probably
without a peer in that body, in engi-
neering great measures to a vote, Of
ten carrying as much as $60,000000 Or
$1OO, OO0, 900 in the total.
The senator's little bill was the ur-
gent deficiency bill, carrying total of
something near S17,0O9,0OO, a pretty big
sum in the eyes of most people of the
country. Usually such measures the
senator gets passed without much de-
bate, because the Senate has the ut
methods of handling public matters.
The senators known that a very COM
petent business man from Maine scan
ned every line and every paragraph
and that he realizes the necessity for
every paragraph, which he has allowed
to be reported.
This week, however, that raucous
statesman from South Carolina, Sena-
tor Tillman, was on the war path re-
garding an entirely different subject,
the retention of Judge Moves of Alaska,
on the payrolls The South Carolinan
had been waving his pitchfork diligent-
~ and making vigorous thrusts at
other senators so that the debate was
delaying consideration of the urgent
deficiency measure. Whereupon Sena-
tor Hale appealed to the Senate to al
low him to pass his little bill. else he
would make motion to adjourn. The
bill went through in due season.
1t only just enabled the senior Maine
senator to get himself accustomed to
the heavier work of the kind, which is
in store for him during the session. He
manages more appropriation bills in
the Senate than any other man. The
big naval appropriation bill is always
in his charge as well as two or three
others. carrying enormous sums, call
culated to meet the needs Of an enor-
nous country.

SEVERE CENSURE
Of New York Central for the
Tunnel Disaster.
Has Been Negligent, DereIict and
Unprogressve in Methods.
Should not Have Allowed inexperienced
Engineer on Train.

Albany, N. Y, Feb. THE state
board of railroad commissioners handed
down its decision, today. regarding the
recent disaster in the Park Avenue tun-
nel New York City. The commission
censures the New York Tunnel Co. for
allowing an inexperienced engineer to
run train through the tunnel. 1t also
recommends that at some time in the
future the roof be taken off the tunnel,
using bridges at intersecting streets.
However in this connection. it says
that such change would be intolerable
unless electricity is substituted as the
motive power for trains in the tunnel
and recommends legislation to allow
such change.
Among other things the report says:
That the New York Central & Hudson
River Railroad Co. was grossly negli-
gent of it's obligations to the public in
putting an engineer of such limited ex-
perience and ascertained capacity, as
the engineer of the Harlem train, to be
in charge of a passenger train for oper-
alton through this tunnel in what are
called rush hours"
The New York Central 81 Hudson
River Railroad Co. has been negligent,
derelict and unprogressive in failing to
take measures to increase its terminal
facilities at the Grand Central station
and yard, by such dimensions as would
reasonably keep pace with the yearly
increasing traffic necessities of the lines
entering this station.
That the said railroad company has
been negligent in failing to examine
more closely into the qualifications of
new engineers and lax in discipline in
failing to hold engineers to accounta-
bility for violation of the running rules
in this tunnel.
Eight actions for damages, amount
ing in the aggregate to s15S.OO0, for in
juries received in the wreck in the New
York Central tunnel in this city, on
Jan. S, were commenced in the supreme
court at White Plains, today.
