PRESIDENT RESTS WELL
HE Is MUCH BETTER AFTER THE
OPERATION OF SUNDAY.
Doctors Are Much Pleased Over His
cfaI Residence in jackson Place.

WASHINGTON, Sept 29.-The President
has passed an uneventful day. remaining
most of the time in his wheel chair. by
which means he could be moved to various
parts of the room. Tonight he is reported
TO be progressing satisfactorily. There were
no visitors during the afternoon or evening
except DR.. Lung, the regular White House
physician who made his usual evening call.
Dr. Newton Nj. Shaffer, the New York bone
specialist, who came down yesterday at the
Presidents request and joined the other
physicians in their consultation prior TO the
operation, returned to New York to-day.
No arrangements were made for another
visit from the doctor
Misses Alice and Ethel Roosevelt Joined
the President and Mrs. Roosevelt at the
White House tonight. the former coming
from Tuxedo Park and the latter from
Oyster Bay. Miss Ethel is to attend school
here.
After the Presidents physicians had
dressed his wound this morning the follow
ing statement was prepared and issued by
Secretary Cortelyou:
THE condition of the wound is satisfac-
tory. The temperature this morning is
normal The patient slept well and at
present is occupying rolling chair. He
is cheerful and from the beginning has
shown neither impatience nor restlessness.
but has carried out the directions of the
physicians with scrupulous care. Since
the use of the aspherating needle TO evac-
uate the sac on the 22d inst, which left no
wound, there has been no operation until
yesterday.
This statement was issued at IL O'Clock
Surgeon General Rixey. OF the navy; Sur
geon General O'Reilly. of the army: Dr.
Shaffer, the bone specialist from New York.
and Dr. Lung, were present when the
wound was dressed. They were at the tenn
porary White House on jackson Place
about three quarters of an hour. The slight
rise I'm the temperature, noted yesterday
before the second operation. had disap-
peared this morning, and this was consid-
cred especially favorable by the physicians.
The physicians insist to-day that the con-
dition of the Presidents wound gives no
occasio for alarm. The President himself
continues cheerful and seemingly regards
the wound as a trivial matter. The fact that
a second operation was necessary evidently
caused considerable apprehension in the
public mind. as the number OF callers who
stopped at the temporary White House was
larger than on any previous day since the
President returned. A goodly number OF
kilograms also received. To all re-
assuring replies were sent. Among the
callers to-day were Governor Crane. OF
Massachusetts: Secretary Root Postmas-
ter General Payne, and Representatives
Dalzell of Pennsylvania. and Lessier. OF
New York. Only Governor Crane and the
two members OF the Cabinet were admitted
to the Presidents bedroom. Governor Crane
was with the President when the accident
occurred at Pittsfield. His visit was a per-
sonal one, so IL was said at the White
House. and without political significance.

to Break Lance With Globe

| The Observation-Disclosures Steamship
Company will establish another route
for it's vessels. It has decided to give
a monthly service between Seattle and

General Freight Agent Morse said
yesterday the new route will in no way
interfere with the prompt receipt of
freight from New York, as the freight
will be landed rat San Francisco and
reshipped here in the company's local
boats, arriving here about eighty days
after leaving New York. The net rate
of So. so a ton on freight from the

Mr.. Morse further stated that the
saving of a large amount of money for
coal was an additional inducement in
ing to the Sound will load bunker coal
at Nanaimo, and then take freight
The coal can be loaded at that place
for 81 a ton less than in San Fran

The advent of the new service will
undoubtedly affect the business of the

war is far from improbable. The latter
company is at present the only steamer
line between the Sound and the Ha-
waiian Islands. Their freight rate is
81 a ton, and it is anticipated that the

MAUNA LOA GOT
IN YESTERDAY
Reported Rough Trip and the
Noeau Weatherbound at
Waipio GuIch.

The steamer Mauna Loa arrived at
i6:15 o'clock yesterday morning from
Lahaina, with LOIS sacks of sugar, 336
sacks of coffee, 1853 sacks of taro, a lot
of sundries and eighty passengers, of
which twenty were cabin passengers.
Among the passengers were Chester
Doyle and Bishop Willis Purser Sim
erson reported very rough seas and a
gale of wind with lots of rain along
the Hamakua coast. The Noeau is
weather-bound at Waipfo Gulch She
has been weather bound since the day
of her arrival, Tuesday, February 4.
She attempted to land Honokaa
freight, but failed as the seas were
too rough, and forced her to proceed
to Waipio Gulch again. Very rough
seas and strong northeasterly winds
were the rule along the Kau coast
throughout the Mauna Loa's trip. On
Sunday morning she did not land at
Punaluu, as it was too rough. The
mail and passengers were landed at
Honuapo. All the Punaluu freight was
brought back to Honolulu, as it could
not be landed on account of the rough
weather. The schooner Eclipse was at
Lahaina when the Mauna Loa left.

Seamen's Wages.

When. twelve months ago, the shipown-
ers announced themselves ready and
willing. if business allowed, to practically
raise the mems wages to what they were
in 1898, prior to the financial difficulties
that oppressed Australia in that year

that the important shipping industry had
advanced and that the men were to share
in the recovered prosperity. 1t now ap
pears, however that circumstances COM
pei the shipowners to terminate the
agreement under which this rise of
wages was made. The possibility of such
a step was contemplated from the be-
ginning, both sides STIMULATING that the
agreement could be terminated by notice
on or before a certain date. AS it hap
pened this unpleasant duty fell to the
ShiPownerS, and conferenceN is to be
held today to consider the matter. Ship
owners say that business has been bad
and that there are no signs of its early
recovery. They declare that failing
freights, powerful competition and later
the operation of the Commonwealth tar
iff have inflicted serious losses upon
them. All these matters will, SO far as
is possible be threSffed out at the con-
Ference and it can only be hoped that a
good spirit will animate both sides. 1t
cannot be supposed that shipowners vii

ocean liner may be gathered from par
ticulars as to the recent trip of the
Oceanic, from New York to Southamp-

than 357 first-class passengers, 2S maids

and 1900 thjrd-class passengers. The
first-class passengers, reckoning them
5000 a head. amounted to ST1,400. The
maids and Wallets, reckoning them at
$50 head, amounted to $3.50. The
second-class passengers. reconing them
at $50 a head, amounted to So, $50, and
the third-class passengers, who pay $50
apiece, realized $4,000. The total reach

Chinese as. Sc amen.

Reporting to Lord Lansdowne, Brit
ish foreign secretary, Mr.. Brenan, Brit
ism consul general at Shanghai, states
that Chinese are rapidly superseding
Europeans and Americans as merchant
seamen on the Pacific. This fact is at
tributed to the quarrelsomeness of
white sailors, who are said to be re-
sponsible for the frequent rows which
occur while they are in port.
'The sailing vessels that visit Shang-
hal" says Mr. Brennan, ARE mostly
four-masted iron ships of the latest
pattern. They are chiefly engaged in
bringing oil from New York for the
Standard Oil Company. They carry
European and American crews of the
lowest class, who are constant trou-
BILE when on land, both to their masters
and to the consulate. Cases have come
to my knowledge where it has paid
captains to discharge their white crews
and to provide for the passage home by
shipping Orientals in their places.
This portends a complete displace-
ment of Americans and Europeans. not
only in the trans-Pacific. but also in the
Chinese coast, by yellow men, who are
sober industrious, easily accommodate
ed and amenable to discipline. Fifteen
hundred British vessels entered Shang-
hal port this year carrying Chinese
crews. The Chinese sailors caused
trouble in only ten cases. This is main
ly due to the fact that whereas the
oriental seamen are of one nationality,
the Europeans and Americans are of
many nationalities, gathered in the low
quarters of nearly every part of the
world. Each white man considers him
self as good as. if not better, than his
neighbor. while the yellow men quietly
submit to the rule of their superiors,
however unenlightened and arbitrary.
The Chinese are steadily overcoming
their indisposition TO go on long voy-
ages from China. Many senior hands
remain in one service from ten to fif-
teen years"
