OF FLEETS STAY IN HONOLULU PORT

music. The sailor stevedores danced
| to it. At times they ran races to see
who could do the work quickest. The
crowd watched the interesting per-
Torrance although. soon covered with
coal dust. Forty-five carts were used
in hauling the coal to the docks. They
We're in charge of w. H. Hoogs and
the drivers We're kept hustling to the
tune of the music. Even all the carts
dumping coal at the rate of two or
three a minute could not keep up with
the demands of the three vessels. The
two battleships were given their coal
first, and whenever it seemed as II they
were little ahead, few cart loads
were shunted off to the New Orleans.
By evening the New Orleans had over
three hundred tons of coal aboard; the
Kentucky and Wisconsin had finished
hours before. AT five O'Clock 1884 tons
of coal had passed over the naval
scales and then there was an intermis-
sion for the dinner hour, after which
coal was put on the dock for the New
Orleans.
The Kentucky had been given 1900
tons of coal before three o'clock and
the crew was put to work cleaning
ship. BY tonight they VIII have finish
ed this work, and also that of painting
and then will be given shore liberty.
The Wisconsin took 1850 tons of coal,
a portion of it being loaded from the
scows in the harbor. She finished coal
ing little before five o'clock and is
also being put through a cleaning pro-
cess.
The Oregon will come up to the Pa
cific Mail dock this morning after the
New Orleans is out of her way and will
begin coaling Immediately. She will
take on about HOO tons. At the same
time the coaling of the Albany will be
commenced. She will be loaded from
lighters in naval row. The facilities
here for caring for fleet the size of
that under Admiral Evans are totally
inadequate. The naval station equip
ment was never intended to care for
such a fleet as the one now in the
harbor, and it is expected that now the
shortcomings have been shown Con-
gress will be asked to make provision
for further accommodation in this line.
The Naval station has practically
nothing in the way of lighters, seows,
etc, and the want of garbage boats
particularly is felt.
Altogether the vessels of the fleet
will take on over 5000 tons of coal, but
even this amount will NOT make much
of hole in the big navy piles. All
three coal piles are being drawn upon,
although Pocahontas coal is being
taken as much as possible. This lis
considered much superior to Cardiff or
any other variety of coal, and is special
ly desirable in case OF speed tests.
The battleships are to remain at the
wharves while the fleet is in port. The
cruisers are to remain out in the har-
Dor and will be coaled from lighters.
The battleships will probably take a.
long hundred tons of coal each in
sacks as deck loads.

SHIPS COALED
IN A HURRY

Like a snow ball in a July sun
the three big coal piles of the Navy
Department in Honolulu are melting
under the onslaughts of the vessels of
the fleet. Some 27O0 tons of best
Pocahontas and Cardiff coal were load
ed yesterday on the Kentucky, Wis
consin and New Orleans and some
coaling records were also broken in
the course of the day. This morning
the New Orleans will be taken from
her station at the Pacific Mail harf
and the Battleship Oregon will he
given her place. The Oregon ana the
cruiser Albany will be coaled today, to
be followed tomorrow by the remain
ing three cruisers. The coaling will be
finished Saturday and the men will be
set at liberty by that time. The men
of the Kentucky, Wisconsin and New
Orleans may get away this afternoon,
as it is expected that the Two battle
ships and cruiser may be in ship shape
by that time.
The coaling of the Kentucky WAS
completed at 2:45 o'clock yesterday aft
ernnon and the tars on the Wisconsin
began washing up just TWO hours later.
The New Orleans will be loaded by 9
o'clock this morning and she will then
be moved out in the stream alongside
the remaining three cruisers.
The Kentucky made splendid rec
ord in coaling. In just about seven
hours the big battIeship had put a.
board the 1900 tons of coal she was
in need of, and the men began immedi-
ately to overhaul the vessel. Work
o'clock yesterday morning and except
ing for short stop for lunch the load
ing was kept UP continuously and rap
idly until the last load of coal had
been put aboard at 2:45 o'clock. The
Kentucky has a record of 200 tons per
hour, but she did not equal that yes
terday. She is the best equipped YES
sci for coaling in the American navy.
In place of steam appliances for this
purpose, the Kentucky rs fitted with
electrical cranes and the most modern
apparatus. And besides the crew
worked with will yesterday. Liberty
ashore awaited the conclusion of their
work and they were anxious to get
through with it as early as possible.
big crowd watched the loading of
the vessels yesterday. Coal dust made
the sailor lads look like darby roust-
abouts but they didn't mind it in the
least. Part of the time the bands
played, first from the Kentucky and
then from the Wisconsin. And they
played quick, catchy, stirring waltz

For County Treasurer,
FRANCIS l.. HAM.
The Senate.

The next Senate of Maryland will consist
of twenty-seven members, and to control that
body requires fourteen members.
One-half of the members are elected every
two years, and consequently one-half are
called hold-over Senators. Owing to the re-
arrangement of the legislative districts in Bal
tmore City, made necessary by the creation
of an additional district, fifteen Senators are
to be elected this fall, four of them in Bati-
more.
Of the hold-o over Senators seven are Demo
Gratis and five are Republicans. TO control
the Senate, with its committees and doorkeep-
ers, clerks and other officers, the Democrats
will have to elect seven and the Republicans
will need nine.
Of the seven the Democrats will need, three
will be elected in Baltimore City, and they
are sure of electing their Senatorial candidates
in Howard, Queen Anne's and Wicomico.
The other necessary Senator must be chosen
either in Baltimore or Carroll county. One
majority is a very narrow margin; too small
for a successful carrying out Democratic
pledges and policies. 1t is very essential,
then, that the Democrats should elect their
Senatorial candidates in both counties. 1t
the Democrats elect both the next Senate will
consist of Is Democrats and II Republicans.
And this majority of three will be narrow
enough. Mr.. Warfeld will be powerless, I'M
less he has majority of both houses of the
Legislature to sustain him, and those who
vote for Mr. Warfeld and do not vote for Il Leg
slature to aid him, will do him an injus
tice Without majority in both houses of
the General Assembly, none Of his pledges
and policies can be carried out, and his ad.
minisraton would likely be failure.

States Attorney.

With many people lawyer is lawyer
that is, one lawyer is just as able and compe-
tent as any other This is far from being
correct. If all lawyers were equal in brains,
education and experience there would be no
difference in them. But that this is not true
a moments reflection will convince anyone.
The legal profession is divided into classes.
There are some who make specially OF rail
road law, others of corporation law, others OF
criminal law, others of real estate transac'
tons. These classiGcations are confined to
large cities, though specialists are sometimes
found at county seats. The county lawyer,
generally, is an all-round attorney, undertake
ing all kinds of cases, but usually getting so
few of the more important and intricate ones
that scarcely any become specially qualified to
handle them.
The above is only to show that all lawyers
are not equal-that there are specialists IN
lew as in medicine and other professions, and
that one lawyer is not the equal of every other
lawyer
The people of Carroll will be given an OPP
portunity next month of selecting State
Attorney, 10 serve four years from next Jan
uary. The States Attorney is the peoples
attorney. Upon him, in large measure, de-
ponds the good order and peace of society,
the security of life, liberty and property. If
he is not learned in criminal law and had con :
siderable experience in criminal cases, the
lawlessly disposed would soon discover the
fact and would be bold in invading the rights
of others.
The position of States Attorney is one OF
much importance. He must be able to cope
with the attorneys for the defense, should be
a clear and forcible speaker and possess a
logical mind. Competency to examine wit
nesses, so as to bring out all facts bearing
upon a trial, should also be coupled with
ability to properly weigh and use the evidence.
The States Attorney should be man who
will prosecute, not persecute, and he should
be without malice or prejudice in trying per-.
sons accused of crime.
For this important office the Democrats
have presented Guy w. STEELE, gentleman
who has had ten years experience at the bar,
and a larger experience in criminal cases than
any other of the younger lawyers here except
the present States Attorney. He has shown
ability at the trial table and before juries.
Cases intrusted to him have been closely stud
led and we'll conducted and his success at the
bar here and in the Court ofAppeas is highly
creditable. Close attention to business is also
another characteristic of Mr. Steele, and vo-
ters should we'll consider the Importance of
the office of State Attorney before voting.

Some County Tax Rates.

The ADVOCATE has claimed that Carroll has
the most economical and business-like county
government in the State, and the lowest tax
rate.
The roads, bridges, school houses and pub
lie buildings, except the Jail, will compare
most favorably with those in other counties.
Peace and good order are maintained, and the
security of citizens in life, liberty and prop
erty are well guarded.
If we look at the tax rates for 1903 in other
Western Maryland counties, all under Repub-
lican rule, we find that the rate for county
purposes in Allegany is $l.23 on the $1,000
of assessment, in Garrett 80 cents, in Wash
ington 81 cents, and in Frederick 81 ce nts,
while in Carroll is but 45 cents.
To the rate in Carroll must he added the
road tax, fixed by district road commissioners.
1t averages 13S cents. Added to the county
rate of As cents, the to tai is $50, which makes
the rate in Carroll for county and road pur-
poses 283 cents less than in Frederick, 513
cents less than in Garrett and Gag hess than
in Allegany.
The Washington county tax rate of 81 cents
on the $4,000 is owing to the county receiv-
ing a large amount of money from the sale of
Western Maryland Railroad stock. The tax
rate was IS cents in 1900, 65 cents in 1901 and
673 cents in 1902
The conditions of soil, property and assess
ment are the same in Carroll as in the other
counties, and the lower tax rate here is due
to more prudent and economical management
of affairs.
1.-THE taxpayers of Carroll desire TO keep
the tax rate from % to "a cents less than in
other Western Maryland counties, they should
vote for George E. Benson for County Com
missioner.

Onlv One Man for Senator.

Ifthe Republicans carry the next Legisa-
ture on joint ballot, Louis E. McComas will
be re. elected to the United States Senate.
No other Republican will be considered,
and the Republican candidates for the Senate
and House of Delegates were selected with
the purpose of voting for McComas.
On the Democratic side Governor Smith,
Elk Governor jackson, Attorney General
Rayner and Ex-Auorney General John p.
Poe are candidates. and each has friends.
Should the Democrats carry the Legislature
the contest will be open, and no machine
made candidate will be chosen.
McComas has worked his machine TO his
own advantage. Having all the Legislative
candidates favorable to him it would be use
less for any other Republican to aspire to the
Senate.

Baltimore Registration.

Registration of voters closed in Baltimore
City on Wednesday night, with a total of
lO7. 1897 names on the books-9l ,064 whites
and 1918 negroes. About $4,000 persons
failed to register. On the declared party
utilization vote the Democrats have about s.,
600 majority. In Baltimore voters are asked
to which party they are inclined. 1t is not
obligatory upon them to answer, but those
who do not announce their party preference
cannot vote at party primaries.
While the registration is short, it is larger
by nearly 1000 than last year, and over 8 1000
greater than in 1901.
