BREMERToN's MORALS.

Associated Press, Morning SerHice.
WASHINGTON, May 25.-The repairs
of warships at Bremerton have been
discontinued owing to the unsatisfac-
tory moral conditions there. Hereafter
repairs will be made at Mare Island.
In January last the captain of the
Oregon reported on Bremerton as fol-
lows:
The captains report is of the same
tenor of those already submitted to the
department by other naval officers, but
he has special features to add. He
says that men on liberty were robbed
and drugged and made drunk on the
main streets of Bremerton on their way
to the Seattle steamers, and it became
necessary to forbid them to pass
through the town, He had known of a
man to be picked up insensible and
moneyless on the streets near the navy
yard gates within twenty minutes of
the time he had passed out, clean and
sober and with money in his pocket. In
conclusion the captain says: I'm forty
years experience at many seaports
have no hesitation in saying that for
open robbery and organized pillage of
bluejackets Bremerton surpasses all
other towns l have ever known.
Then he adds this for Seattle II
consider it due to Seattle to bear testl-
mony to the care and protection ex-
tended by the police to visiting sailors
in uniform"

SEA CAPTAINS
ARE VERY ANGRY
SAY THAT QUARANTINE OFF,
GALS REQUIRED S. c. ALLEN TO
FUMIGATE SECOND TINE.

Captains of sailing vessels are severe
ly criticising the quarantine officials for
requiring the bark S. c. Allen, to flu
mgate a second time. The vessel was
fumigated last week, after she had dis
charged her cargo of general freight,
as she was to go to Mahukona to load
sugar for San Francisco. The vessel
began loading 400 tons of coal after
this fumigation, as she needed some
ballast and the coal was required at
Mahukona.
The quarantine regulations provide
that vessels shall lay feet away from
non-rat proof wharves. In order TO
take on the coal, the Allen hauled in
alongside the wharf as the coal could
not be conveniently handled when she
was lying away from the wharf. AS
the result of this action the vessel was
required to fumigate a second time.
I The captains think that the action of
the quarantine officials was unjust and
unreasonable. They say that the
! sailing vessels are not treated fairly
with the steamers. The Allen sails to-
day for Mahukona.
The British ship Thomasina, MacLel-
Ian hauled over to the Railway Wharf
| No. this morning and began dis
charging coal.
| A great deal of criticism of the Pub
( lie Works Department is being made
on account of the condition of the coal
wharf. 1t is claimed that the wharf
is not safe. Certainly it is being patch
ed and repatched to a degree unusual,
with any other wharf along the Water
Front.
| The ship Arthur Sewall will come
into the harbor Saturday and be fu-
migated. She will begin loading sugar
/ the first of next week for Delaware
Breakwater.
The bark r. P. Ritchet finished dis
charging her cargo today. She will
fumigate and begin loading sugar for
San Francisco.
The barkentine S. G. Wilder is to sail
for San Francisco tomorrow morning
with full cargo of sugar. She will
take a number of passengers.
The barkentine Klikitat sailed today
for Port Townsend, in ballast.
The schooner Halcyone was to have
sailed from Honoipu yesterday for San
Francisco with a load of sugar.
The S. S. Argyll will sail tomorrow
in the forenoon for San Francisco.

BURNING THE VOUCHERS.

A queer story comes from Honolulu,
with reference to the proposed inten-
ton of the lower house to burn its
vouchers, and thus prevent the people
from knowing how the public money
has been spent. 1t seems almost in
credible that such a thing could be
true, and a legislature in the states
which should do such a thing would be
mobbed. For the sake of decency, the
House should not do this thing, and if
they do, those of them opposed to it
should go on record, so that the guilty
ones could be exposed to the shame OF
their own infamy.-Maui News.
