TWO OF A KIND.

Record.
Certain papers keep on calling Tlllman
an ass, and may be he is, but somehow
he seems to hold his own fairly well and
his every bray is carefully noted. The
truth of the matter is that he and Roose-
welt are two of kind-as much like in
disposition as two men ever get to be
and it is silly to berate the one without
the other. McLaurin is not in the same
class with either of them.

MY PRAYER:

MY PRAYER:
To seek for knowledge wherever found,
To sow it's seeds in fallow ground,
To follow truth where'er it lead,
To keep my soul from hate and greed,
To see my duty with clearest sight,
To do it bravely from morn to night,
To bear my burden without a cry,
To share my brothers without Sigh
To live as in my Masters eye.
To walk by faith, in peace to die.

1T Is therefore clear to the court
that 1t is not only safe in cases Of this
character for all American merchant
ships when reaching the port of desti-
nation to pay all sailors wages then
due, but that it is the ships duty to do
SO and that the payment of the sailor
under the forms OF law is the set

the ship.
ut is ordered that claimant be paid
by the Wilders Steamship Co. the
sum OF sixty dollars, his wages for the

costs OF this proceeding.
1T is further ordered that the sixty
dollars on deposit with the clerk OF

.SEAMEN'S WAGES
ARE lNVI0LABLE
Continued from Page ~

Section 1886 Revised Statutes exempts
seamen's wages from attachment, etc.
An act OF 1874 excluding coastwise YES
sells from the provisions OF sec. 453G is
found to be modified by an Act Of 1895,
which provides that seamen shipped
before a commissioner shall have the
benefits Of that particular section. It
was admitted that the contract signed
by complainant when entering the ser.
vice OF Wilder's Steamship Co. was so
signed before a shipping commission
er at San Francisco. But the court
goes further, saying:
"Seamen's wages have been at all
times guarded by the laws of all civil.
lied countries, until, as was well said
by MIR. Justice Ware, the protection OF
seamen's wages has become the com
mon law of the sea- And while few
cases are found in the books where at.
tempts have been made, as in this
case, to garnishee the wages Of sailors
by inferior local law courts, yet so far
as | can find, in no single instance
have the attempts succeeded.
1T Is indeed part OF international
law to protect sailors wages. This
has been done as a matter OF public
policy. Their duties are fraught with
danger their home is upon the sea.
They are mere children when upon
land in all matters Of business. So
much is this recognized, that 1t has
become the settled law that an ex.
press agreement on the part of sea
man to waive his lien for wages on
the ship cannot be enforced"
The court in effect regards the judg.
ment OF the District Magistrate inyal.
i'd, quoting the principle that courts
OF law cannot undertake by garnish.
ment to settle the equities between
the parties in order to subject an equi.
table demand which the defendant may
have against the garnishee to the pay.
ment OF the defendants debt"
Judge Estee quotes the law of this
Territory on exemptions from attach.
ment, etc, and then decides as fol.

TO REDUCE AsIATic FLEET.

Washington, July I'm line with
President Roosevelt's policy OF extend
ing civil government through all the
islands of the Philippine Archipelago,
except those occupied by the Moro
tribes, the Navy Department will
shortly reduce the naval force in the
Philippines to peace basis. Nearly
all the little gunbeoats captured or
purchased from Spain will be placed
out of commission and some of the
cruisers will be ordered back to the
United States.
Secretary Moody has under consider
alton a plan for reducing the Asiatic
fleet. but so far has not decided def
nitely on anything except the with
drawal OF the small guIfboats from ac-
tive service and the recall Of the larger
ships. In line with the policy of Presi-
dent Mckinley and fopmer Secretary
Long, a strong squadron will be main
tanned permanently In the Far East,
principally to let the world know that
the United States Government has
come there to stay and regards itself
as factor in that part Of the world,
All the armor-clads will be retained
on the Asiatic station and the battle
ship Oregon will soon be sent to aug
ment them.
The plan which Secretary Moody has
under consideration contemplates the
detachment OF one and perhaps two OF
the three flag officers now on the sta
ton. The tour of sea duty Of Rear Ad-
OF the static navalchmrdflwu cmfwypp
miral Rodgers, Commander-in-Ch Chief
of the Asiatic naval force, will end in
the fall, but IT is not unlikely that he
will be recalled before then. The
chances are that Rear Admiral Evans.
the senior squadron commander, will
be retained as chief.

HOLIDAY GOODS.
A Great Increase Over Previous Years
Is ReDOrIcd.

Ntw York, Dec. 13.--R. G. Dun DC
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Lower temperature and holiday de-
mands have combined to accelerate
retail trade, sales largely exceeding
the corresponding week in preceding
years. Much postponed business is
being made up, and shipping depart
ments are crowded with work, but
wholesale trade has ruled quiet Rail
road earnings for November exceed
ed last years by Z per cent, and
those of 1900 by 2O.5 per cent.
At first glance the sudden rise in
furnace stocks of pig iron to 94,295
tons compared with 71,S5S on Novem-
ber l, might suggest that consump-
tion was below production, but OBJ
viously any accumulation that occurs
is due to inadequate transporting ia
cilities, since needs are urgent, as ev-
idenced by the imports of eastern
steel works. The pressure is still
greatest for railway supplies, with
structural material next as to urg-
ency of demand.
Failures this week in the United
States are 269, against 273 for the cor
responding week last year, and in
Canada 30, against II last year.

Child Froze to Death.

Auburn, n. Y, Dec. 12.-Last Sum
day afternoon Willie Hinger, aged 5
years, was sent on an errand by his
parents. He did not return and YES
terday his dead body was found on
the piazza of a laundry mans house
outside the city limits. 1t is sup
posed he arrived at the house early
Sunday evening and was overcome by
the cold before he could arouse the
household. The door leading to the
piazza where the body was found IS
little used and the discovery was
only made Thursday. Tears had fro.
zen upon the little sufferers face.

ROOSEVELT'S POLICY.
Ii In Commended by the Civil Service
Reform League They Give the Pres.-
dent Credit for EIeVating the Moral
Tone of the Public Service.

Philadelphia, Dec. 12.-The annual
meeting of the Civil Service Re-
form league began here yesterday.
The annual report of the executive
council, which was read AIT the after
noon session, commends the policy
of President Roosevelt in making fed
eral appointments and calls attention
to the persistent hostility of profess
sional politicians in both the great
national parties to civil service re-
form. The report in part is as fol-
lows:
"President Roosevelt has done more
FOR the practical enforcement of the
civil service law, the elevation of the
moral tone of the public service and
the general advancement of improved
methods of government than it has
fallen to the lot of any other presi-
dent to do so soon after assuming Of
flee. Nevertheless it is not surprising
that in this respect, his course has
been subjected to a closer scrutiny
than has usually befallen new ad-
ministration; this fact after all conS
stitutes but a just tribute to the mer-
It's Of Mr.. Roosevelt's past services to
the cause of good government. AS
result of this eXacting attitude OF
public opinion lin itself thoroughly
wholesome symptom of progress) the
president and his official advisors have
encountered some criticism.
''President Roosevelt has been ac-
cused of exhibiting too little regard
for the salutary restrictions of the
civil service rules by excepting from
their operations without evident ne
cessity certain number of minor
positions and individual appoint
ments. With very few exceptions, the
positions affected are unimportant.
"The council is obliged to record
its regret that the results of the great
victory for good government and pure
politics in New York City, on which
the league congratulated the country
at it's last annual meeting, lSave not,
as yet, met all the hopes of friends
of civil service reform"

Mexico City, Dec. 12.--At Tepa, on
the Hidalgo railway, a special train
bearing 1000 pilgrims returning from
this city, was wrecked yesterday, kill
Ing three persons and injuring many
more. The train was backing from
switch to the main line, when the
rear car was derailed. 1t rolled
down an embankment, drawing five
other coaches with it. Six hundred
persons, chiefly women, occupied the
coaches and the scene was sckening
in its horror. Twelve thousand pill
grims thus far have visited this city
to worship at the shrine of Guada-
loupe.

Havana, Dec. 13.-A definite treaty
of commercial reciprocity between
Cuba and the United States was
signed Thursday night by Gen. Bliss
and Secretaries Zaldo and Montes.
1t only lacks the signature of Sec
retary Hay and Senior Quesada and
the approval of the United States and
Cuban senates to make it operative.
Although the treaty provides for a
uniform reduction of 20 per cent. from
the present tariff charges on Cuban
products entering the United States,
a parallel list of products has been
drawn up in which is set forth the re-
ductions on each item made by Cuba
and the United States respectively.

Chicago, Dec. 12.-In raid by con-
stables and labor leaders Thursday
morning it is believed the greatest
plant in the country for counterfeit
ing union cigar labels was discovered.
The printing establishment of Lyman
L. Meites, $50 Halsted street, was en-
tered and the ten counterfeit plates
captured from which it is believed all
the counterfeit labels in the United
States have been printed. One hun
dred thousand counterfeit labels were
also confscated. Officers of the Ci-
garmakers' International union as
sert that the plates are the only ones
in existence. Meites shipped the
