Chinese Crew for the Korea.

The Pacific Mail steamship Gaelic.
which arrived from the Orient yester-
day, carried a party of 1872 Chinese, who
are to constitute the Asiatic section of
the crew of the new ocean greyhound
Korea. which is expected to arrive here
on her maiden trip on September ?. In
many quarters it is doubted whether
the vessel can reach port on that date.
She will not receive her crew until the
Gaelic arrives at the coast on August

the vessel out after her arrival. The
Korea had been scheduled to sail from

City Of Feking's Delay.

Among the passengers on board the
steamer Gaelic. which arrived from the
Orient yesterday, was Captain j. L.

months before the City of Picking can

her thrust shaft when entering the

A1batross Sailed for the Coast

The United States Fish Commission
steamer Albatross left Honolulu for
San Francisco during Tuesday fore
noon. DR.. Jordan, head of the expedi-
ton. arrived from Page Page in the
Sonoma and Immediately after arrival
met DR.. Gilbert, who reported to him
the work done by the Albatross in Ha-
waiian waters during his absence. DR..
Jordan considered that the work had
been fully completed and Captain
Thomas was told that he could sail as
soon as he pleased. He left for the
coast immediately. The Albatross has
had long stay in Hawaiian waters,
and the officers and men aboard of her
were very anxious to return to the
mainland. Her work for the Fish Com
mission in these waters has yielded
very good results and she carries back
a great deal of useful information and
many cases and jars of specimens of
sea life about the islands.

is GREENLAND FOR SALE?

According to a dispatch from st.
Johns Canadians have an idea that
Lieutenant Peary Is operating in
Greenland in behalf Of the United
States government, with the view of
ascertalnlng whether Il would be ad-
vantageous TO this country, to buy that
island. our government has perhaps
earned a reputation as collector Of
islands, but it can be safely said that
there is no present intention of adding
the magnificent glaciers Of the north, to
the collection.
Greenland belongs TO Denmark. and
that country has not manifested any
undue hurry in dlsposlng OF her out
lying possessions. We have not heard
that Greenland Is for sale. But even
Il 1t were, It would be pertinent to ask
If II would pay to invest in It,
The known resources OF Greenland
consist chiefly in a few cryolite mines
and It's fisheries. principally hallbut.
There is some whaling, but the whales
are becoming more and more scarce
owing to the ruthless manner in which
they have been slaughtered. Coal ex-
lists in workable beds near Disco.

ers every summer. Iron and copper
have been found, the former in large
deposits. and II is believed that the
mineral wealth Of the region Is con-
siderable But for all this there is
no apparent inducement TO buy the
snow and Recovered island. The needs
Of the Eskimos are few and of such
nature that trading must remain on a
dimnutive scale.
The strategical position Of Greenland
has been considered. It is pointed out
that II this country were at war with
Great Britain, a contingency that be-
comes more and more unlikely, II could
station a few cruisers there, with coal
supplies available at Disco. which
would scour the adjoining ocean and
make mercantile shipping traffic i'm
possible Such traffic however, could
only be maintained for a few months
each year. because Of the Ice foes
But whatever are the advantages or
Disadvantages Of the ownership OF that
cold island, 1t Is quite certain that the
United States has not sent Lieutenant
Peary there TO spy out the land" lie

road TO the Northpole, as so many
others have done before him. Besides
II the theory is true, as some think |
that the earth Is slowly dying, the ex- |
tremities already giving evidence OF |
the gradual extinction OF the heat and |
life Of the main body. colonlzers that |

Sugar in Bond.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-A decision has
been handed down here by United
States Circuit Judge Wallace wherein
he decided a question of Importance to
Importers, particularly those who store
goods in the bonded warehouses. The
plaintiffs imported sugar from Porto
Rico in April, 1899, which was stored
in a bonded warehouse. On April 6,
1899, the sugar was withdrawn for con-
sumption. In the interim the peace
contract between the United States and
Spain had been ratified and the sugar
was entitled, according to later decisions
of the United States Supreme Court, to
admission duty free, under the insular
decisions. 1t was to recover SLAP duty
assessed that the plaintiffs sued. The
Government interposed a demurrer, al
Ieging that the goods were not asses
sable at the time they were withdrawn
but at the time of their Importation.
The court overruled the demurrer and
decided for the plaintiff.
