One general order was posted on

the Brooklyn on the west end OF
the curved line was a 22-knot ship,
Captain Wainwright in the little
Gloucester was next, the Texas
next in the line was a IA or 10
knot ship, the Iowa next, was a
164-knot ship, the Oregon next in
line was of the same registered
speed as the Iowa. The running
fight at once began. The Brook
lyn was first engaged, being near
est in the back of the enemy, then
the Iowa. but the Oregon swept by
the Iowa and Texas as though they
had been still at anchor and side
by side with the Brooklyn, pur-
sued the fighting. The utmost
speed that could be got on the
Brooklyn was 16 knots, on the
Iowa 10 knots, the Oregon ran
faster than on her trial trip, roar

ran. One after another of tie

the American ships, all save the
Brooklyn, a cruiser, and the battle
ship Oregon. The Viscaya was
soon put out of the fight and a
little later a shell from one Of the
turret guns of the Oregon struck
the water close beside the Colon.

coast of our continent and up the
other, reported on coming to an
Choir that they were in perfect con-

Sunday Mali in Belgium.

Sabbath observance in Belgium is
optional, especially in regard to the
delivery of letters. Postage stamps
have a tiny coupon at the bottom, on
which is the legend engraved in both
French and Flemish, mot to be de-
livered on Sunday" If the sender Of
the letter is a person of strong re-
ligious views, who believes in observing
the Sabbath in every form, he permits
the coupon to remain attached to the
stamp, and the letter, which might be
delivered on Sunday, does not go out
of the receiving Office until the fol-
lowing day. If, on the other hand,
the sender of the letter has no iscruples
he tears off the coupon, and the letter
is delivered on Sunday, the same as
any other day. A fine is imposed on
the carrier for violating the instruc-
tions of the coupon.

Voyage of Log Raft.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 22-(Spe-
cial.) 1.-The largest log raft ever towed
down the Pacific Coast arrived here
early this morning, in tow of the
steamer Francis A. Leggett, Captain
Jackson. 1t contains 100000 feet of
lumber, and was built in Oregon for
the Hammond Lumber Company. Five
days and 20 hours were consumed in
the voyage down the Coast, which was
not without incident.
Shortly after starting down Colum-
bia River a heavy Southwest gale was
experienced, and the Leggett had to
make fast in the river, waiting for the
storm to abate. The wind stirred up
bad sea, and the leviathan raft was
nearly awash good part of the time.
The voyage was resumed after the
weather moderated. Cape Blanco was
passed Friday afternoon.
In appearance the raft resembled an
enormous cigar. 1t is bound together
with chains and heavy hawsers. 1t is
estimated that the raft would make
cargoes for 40 ordinary lumber schoon-
ers.
Local shipping men consider it one of
the greatest feats in Coast shipping
circles that the raft was brought down
without a hitch. In addition, they
breathe a sigh of relief to think this
menace to ocean shipping is out of the
way. Talk is renewed of Federal
statutes to prohibit the towing of these

The Iroquois's next regular cruise to
Midway Island may not take place
until next April, if Captain Rodman's
recommendation to postpone the trip
to that month is acted upon favorably
by the Navy Department. 1t had been
the intention of the department to send
the Iroquois to Midway this month
with two officers especially assigned to
determine the longitude of the place.
This would have been done as privilege
to the photographic Bureau. One of
the officers, however, has been given
three months sick leave, and the local
navy people have heard nothing more
in connection with pursuing the mat
ter from a purely naval source.
1t seems, however, that Carol D.
Wright, Commissioner of Labor at
Washington, heard of the proposed
cruise, and to that end applied on

OPENS The
NEW LINE
Rapid Transit Runs Cars
Over Kaimuki
Extension.

The Rapid Transit Company formal
ly opened its Waialae or Kaimuki ex-
tension yesterday afternoon at 8 p.
M, when two cars, filled with invited
guests, left the car barns on Alapai
street and went out iKng street, and
street to the top of the Kaimuki hill,
the present terminus. The cars went
over the new line at a rapid rate, and
the track throughout was found to be
this respect. The terminus of the ex
tension is at the summit of the Kali
muki ridge on the road leading off to
Judge Gears place.
Yesterday the guests had fine view
from the hill of the ocean, Koko Head
and Isenberg's ranch with it's tall CO.
coanut trees, while to the left Palolo
Heights and the valley bearing the
same name, as well as KaimuN dis
trict itself, were to be seen.
The new line starting from McCully
|street runs out along the King street
extension past the baseball grounds
and thence out Moiliili road, passing
over an entirely new culvert bridge
where once was picturesque wooden
truss affair, past rice fields and taro
patches, and thence out through a rug
ged section of Kaimuki where the road
bed had to be blasted. AT one point
the road bed is several feet higher than
the wagon road, but the latter will be
filled up to grade. The guests were
astonished at the wonderful fertility
of the reddish brown soil and the num-
Der of homes which have been erected
in Kaimuki. All had gardens and
vines seemed to grow profusely over
the houses.
Palolo valley is in close proximity
to the road and from the rapidly NOV
ing cars the valley showed to good ad-
vantage. The government land back
of the Palolo holdings where proposed
site for the insane asylum has been in
|vestigated, shows up plainly.
Upon reaching McCully street again
the cars were switched on to the Wal
kiki section and the guests were con-
veyed to KaI iolani park where they
viewed the new aquarium.
President L. A. Thurston, Manager
Ballentyne, Superintendent Pratt and
Treasurer L. Tenney Peck were among
those who went over the line.
The following schedule will be used
commencing this morning: Leave Nc
Gully street junction for Waialae, and
AZ minutes past the hour. Leave Wal
alae on the hour and half hour.

JUDGE WEAVER

Judge Weaver of the Torrens Land
Court formally opened his court yes
terday morning, and his office is now
ready to transact-any business relating
to it under the new law. The follow
ing order was promulgated:
Whereas the rules and forms for
procedure have been duly approved and

duly qualified under the Land Regis
tration Act,
Now, therefore, it is hereby ordered,
that the Court of Land Registration be

to Midway to pursue the same astrono-
mical researches. He stated that Mr.
Morse was due here about October 16,
and may perhaps arrive in the Ven
tura. Mr.. Wright requested that the
Iroquois's departure be delayed until
his arrival so that he could be taken
aboard.
Capt. Cowles of the Bureau of Navi-
cation on receipt of the recommends
ton said he had no official notice of
the proposed visit of the Iroquois to
Midway. The Secretary of the Navy
referred the matter to Admiral Terry
who in turn passed on the recon-
mendation that the Iroquois's departure
be delayed until October 16. AS the
cruise first proposed has already been
abandoned, and further as it is not
deemed wise at this time of the year
to go to Midway in a vessel the size
of the Iroquois, the matter stands as
before the cruise was projected. Mr..
Morse will probably arrive here this
week, but may have to forego his visit
if he depends on being taken to Mid
way on the Iroquois.

DINING AROUND
THE WORLD
teontinued from page q

ment. An animated discussion fol-
lowed as to the artists who had mace
them. Our host challenged the COM
pany to name the maker of the bamboo
vase and they were almost unanimous
in ascribing it to one man who lived
three hundred yeans ago. They were
right about the period, but wrong as
to the individual artist. The maker OF
the small bamboo spoon they We're all
correct about, though it was two num-
dred years old. 1 was astounded at
the acumen of these connolsseurs. "A
spoon and piece of thick bampoo!
Yet they were practically able to tell
the names of makers who lived one or
two centuries ago. The talk was not
80 serious or formal as might he i'm
agfned from the setting of these for
xnalities; there was plenty of chaff and
suick-witted repartee. 1t ran for the
most part on artistic lines, but, curious
fv enough. there was never a mention
of the price of anything. 1 managed to
hear indirectly afterwards that the
rough looking Corean bowl, in which
possibly even the maker saw no ar
tistic value, had cost one thousand dol
lars. and the spoon, which looked to
me of the intrinsic value of possibly
enc half-penny, had cost one hundred
dollars. IT,
ELSEWHERE EN- ROUTE.
Another curious dinner was one
had at the house of one of the most
famous Chinese singing girls'-one OF
the four who are known as the -Four
Pearls of China I dined there with a
Japanese friend. First we had hors q :
oeuvres of sufficient variety and guam
tity to dine off without anything else
then excellent fish soup, sharks inns
bird 's-nest soup, and succession OF
courses that / thought would never
come to an end. Beside each OF us
sat a young singing girl who, very
much in the same style as a japanese
Geisha, filed our cups with samsu, the
Chinese wine, and our small-bowleo
pipes with tobacco, and sang few
songs at intervals. Chinese music Is
an acquired taste. and 1 have not ye
acquired it. The Chinese are gooc
cooks. and it would have been as goot
a. dinner as I had ever tasted but fo
one thing-T wanted a piece of bread
One does not know how great a neces
sity this is until one has to do with
out it.
Crossing Siberia by rail, the food OF
the train was first-rate. In Moscow
and the other big Russian towns ar
to be found some of the best restau
rants in the world. On the whole
found the Russian dinners the mos
substantial, the American dinners tn
most expensive, the japanese dinner
the most artistic in their service an
surroundings, the French still the bes
from a strictly culinary standpoint.
Returning to London, when I sat m
down at window-table where I coul
enjoy the long-lost rumbling music O
the street, the same old waiter Of tn
same old club asked me what 1 woul
have for dinner. l ordered a sole, no
too big, and a grilled chop-for ther
are none such to be got in perfection
outside of England-and a tankard O
bitter. I felt rather tired of CASTRO
nomic kick-shaws in the KALEIDOSCOPE
