Steam schooners Win Rest.

Most Of the steam schooner owners yester-
day decided that in preference TO paying over
time wages on the scale demanded by the ma
rine negineers they would lay up their vessels
for the present. This means that within a
week or ten days three score OF the coasting
craft will be out of commission. The engin-
eers say they can afford to walt. They declare
that the laying up OF the schooners was pro-
grammed four months ago. and while the
engineers claim is given as the reason
there IS asa matter of fact. they say, no con
nection The engine8s ask 81 an hour for
overtime work. They place the rate at a
high figure they say. not because they want
the money, but because they hope, by max
ing il expensive to discourage the practice of
working at all hours now in vogue In the
steam schooner service. The steam schooner
owners claim that it is only by keeping their
vessels constantly employed that they can
make them pay. The extra service required OF
the engineers is necessary, they say, but not
worth the rate of pay demanded. Each side is
firm and for the present the ocean highway
along the coast will be clear of steam schoon-
ers while more than a hundred marine en-
gineers Will either rest or seek employment
where overtime work is not required.

WOODS DENIAL
NOT SUFFICIENT
Senate Meets in Executive
Session and Takes Up Con-
tested Appointment Matter

WASHINGTON. March 9.-The con-
tested appointment of General Leon
ard Wood to be major general of the
army was taken up to-day in executive
session of the Senate and after listen
ing to brief prepared by the late
Senator Hanna, summing UP the tesu-
mony which had been given in the
hearings before the Committee on
Military Affairs and several affidavits
obtained since the hearing closed, the
Senate adjourned. Senator Foraker
announced that he would move to take
up the case at every possible oppor-
tunity.
Under such heads as the case Of E.
G.. Rathbone, the veracity Of General
Wood, the Runcie article criticizing
the administration of General Brooke
as Military Governor of Cuba, the con-
cession of the Jai Alai Company to
conduct a gambling establishment,
General Woods intimacy with and de-
fense of the convict Belaires, General
Brooke's charge that General Wood
was insubordinate, General Woods
Santiago accounts and the Castenda
case, the brief discussed, the evidence
brought out at the investigation before
the Senate Committee on Military Af-
fairs, which is summed up in the open
ing paragraph of his argument as fol-
lows:
THE testimony given before the COM
mittee has developed points to which
no answer is attempted by General
Wood in the various communications
submitted by him prior to his depar-
ture for the Philippines, nor can these
communications be accepted as a refu-
tation of testimony given by witnesses
under the solemnity of an oath. To
accept them as a controVersion of
sworn testimony would brand those
giving such testimony as unworthy Of
credence. Among those who would be
thus branded are men in the military
and naval service Of the United States.
1t is impossible to accept the mere
statement of General Wood, made prior
to his departure for the Philippines.
and covering only a part of the matter
at issue, in preference TO this sworn
evidence. Some Of the testimony given
by these witnesses has cast serious re-
Election upon the veracity of General
Wood, and it would appear that neither
he nor the Senate, which is asked to
confirm his appointment, should rest
content until he has been given oppOr-
| tunity to disprove. specifically and un-
der oath, the damaging statements
made on oath concerning his conduct" +"

VOTES
ARE REDUCED

LONDON, March s.-During to-
nights session Of the House Of Com
mons Duncan V. Pirie, Liberal, after
calling attention to the public utter
ances Of Chancellor Of the Exchequer
Austen Chamberlain and other mem
bers Of the Government on the fiscal
question, moved that this House. not
ing the continued agitation in favor
of protective or preferential tariffs,
which is encouraged by the language
used by certain Of his Majesty's Min
listers, deem it necessary to express its
condemnation Of any such policy"
Prizes motion was rejected by 2S9
votes to 249. and loud opposition cheers
greeted the reduction In the Govern
ment majority A number of free food
Unionists supported Pirie and some
protectionists abstained from voting.
AS an offset to the motion of Pirie,
Premier Balfour put up a Conserva-
tive member Of the House, John Lloyd
Wharton, to move an amendment
approving the Ministerial declara-
tions of the fiscal policy, as including
neither a general system of protection
nor preference based on the taxation
of foods"
Chamberlainites to the number Of
100 held a hurried and informal meet
ing this evening and as result they
intimated to the Government that un-
less the Wharton amendment be with
drawn they would abstain from voting
on the Pirie motion.
AS this would almost certainly have
led to the defeat of the Government,
Wharton's amendment was. with
drawn.
The incident proves that Premier
Balfour can hold office only by con-
sent of the pronounced protectionists-

The ship Glory of the Seas, Captain
Pending, which arrived from Lady
smith late Tuesday night. was an
chored too close to the beach off Black
Point, and the ebbing tide left her hard
and fast on the beach. Signals of dis
tress were hoisted at daylight, and the
tug Seq Rover was dispatched to the
Glory's assistance. Powerful as the
Rover is, the land had a grip on the
ship that all the towboats tugging
could not loosen, and until high tide
late yesterday afternoon the Glory Of
the Seas was fixture. She was f1oated
off apparently little worse for her mis-
adventure, but will be drydocked for
further inspection after discharging the
1926 tons Of coal with which she is
loaded.
The Glory of the Seas is too ancient
a structure to do much overland travel
ing She was built thirty-fiye years
ago, and although well preserved and
maintained in good condition her oft
calked hull will not withstand many
beachings No vessel is better known
and, for her age, more highly consid-
cred than the Glory Of the Seas, and 1t
was with grave concern that old-timers
heard yesterday that the ship with the
good, d-fashioned name was ashore In
the harbor.

DECIDES To ESTABLISH
STATION AT HONOLULU
Secretary Wilson Arranges to Furnish
Hawaiian Islands With Climate
and Crop Service.

Forecaster McAdie has received word
from w L. Moore. chief of the Weather
Bureau, that Secretary Of Agriculture
Wilson has decided to establish a me-
neurological observatory at Honolulu.
Robert NJ. Hardinge, who has been sec
tion director Of Arizona. with head
quarters at Santa Fe, will be placed in
charge Of the new station. His work in
Honolulu will commence about the mid
die Of May
climate and crop service like that
maintained in this State will be fur
nished TO every important district in
the Hawaiian Islands. 1t is expected
that the agricultural interests of the
Territory will be greatly benefited by
the innovation. McAdie states that he
will receive a daily report of the condi-
tiOns of the weather in the islands. He
is Of the opinion that the new station
will be too far away to furnish much
data in regard to the approach OF
storms. but the daily reports are ex-
pected to give interesting information
nevertheless.
Similar stations have recently been
established by the Government in Porto
Rico and in the Philippines.

SLIGHT GAIN
TO FISHERMEN
Differences With Alaska
Packers Association Are
Settled With Little Change

The Alaska Packers Association
yesterday adjusted it's differences with
the Alaska Fishermen's Union and
scale OF prices has been agreed upon
for the coming season. The settle
ment eof the matter will have a far
reaching effect, as the unions Of As
toria, Seattle and Tacoma have prac-
ucally agreed to abide by the decision
OF the San Francisco organization.
Last season the San Francisco
packers Of Alaska salmon paid "a
cents per fish to Bristol Bay fisher
men, allowed them $50 for the trip
north and return and limited each
boat to 1000 fish daily. This year the
union demanded cents per fish, an
allowance of $40 for the trip and an
increase In the limit to 1900. For a
time the contending interests seemed
TO be hopelessly apart, but a COM
promise was finally effected yester-
day.
Under the terms Of the settlement
the fishermen will receive "a cents
per fish, $50 allowance money and will
be limited to 100 fish daily. The in
crease is only in the limit, which Is
made 100 fish greater.
The Astoria, Seattle and Tacoma
companies owning canneries in the far
north last year were required to give
the men 12OO-fish limit, but other
wise the agreement was identical with
that entered into locally. Advices re-
ceived last night from Astoria con-
veyed the information that the pack
ers there were pleased with the an
nouncement of the compromise and
expressed the hope that the same
prices would apply to their canneries.
The settlement is of Importance, for
the reason that a strike would have
seriously interfered with the Alaska
salmon packing industry at a time
when market conditions are making
gratifying improvements.
