Naming Ships After Cities COnsid-
cred q HOOdoO.

erc0 u hOOQOOs
Three pilots were gathered yesterday
in an office on the river front and they
oPifted into a conversation of ships, of
shipwrecks, of shippers and of great
storms. They were unanimous in their
verdict that it was bad thing to name
a ship City of -, City of -, or city
of anything. They said that ships so
named are bound to be unfortunate,
and they declared that this fact was
generally known, and rarely, if ever,
nowadays is ship christened with the
name containing The city Of"
ITS a superstition" said one of the
pilots as he blew the smoke from his
cigar and reflected for minute. but
there are many facts to back it up.
Take for instance the old City of Sa
vannah, you all remember the time she
went ashore on the Carolina coast and
the terrible time Capt. Savage and his
passengers had. Then, there is the City
OF Boston. | am sure every pilot is IA
miliar with her story. Well, that boat,
with nearly one thousand souls aboard,
sailed out of New York harbor one fine
day in the early seventies, and she has
never been heard of since. Never been
heard of since. Not a word, not a
splintered SPAR not a drowned body.
Out of New York, with nearly a thous
and souls aboard, she sailed, and it was
as though the earth had opened and
swallowed her UP. Then. too. the old
City of Columbus, which went to pieces
on Gay Head in 1883 or 81.
There was a whole lot of boats
named city of this or city of that that
went down with all hands. Way back
about 1910 the City of Bristol sank and
thirty-five lives were lost. During the
fifties the City of Glasgow
went down and carried with her nearly
five hundred men and women. The
City of Waco, with nearly one hundred
aboard, was lost along about the year
1875 or '76. and few years afterward
the City of Hartford and the City of
Mexico went down.
And there are many other vessels
that have been lost but / cannot now
recall the dates-for instance the City
Of Troy, the City of Meridian, the City
of Havana. and go ON. Then. didn't
the City of Rome, about ten years ago.

Ocean Freight Market Dull.

A prominent naval stores dealer said
yesterday that the ocean freight mar
ket is duller than it has been for some
time. 1t has not recovered from the
collapse always. occasioned by the
Christmas holidays. Prices for char
ters have been advanced in quotations
to naval stores dealers owing to the
persistent rumor of war in the Far
East
THE owners realize" he said, that
if trouble breaks out in the East many
vessels will be in demand at an ad-
vanced price and they are not anxious
to tie themselves up with contracts I'M
til some decision is reached in Russian
Japanese controversy. The naval
stores shippers here are not in a po-
sition to meet the advanced figures and
as consequence few vessels are being
chartered for this port"
One prominent cotton shipper took a
somewhat different view of the sit
uation, and while he admitted that the
ocean freight trade is dull at the pres
emit time he said that he had received
no quotations which indicated that the
owners were advancing the price for
charters on account of the war talk in
the East.

State of Texas Arrived.
The Merchants and Miners steamer.
the State of Texas, arrived in port
yesterday, two days overdue, in the
best of condition. Capt. ]. McDorman
said that he was able to avoid much
of the rough weather along the coast
and the ship had no misfortune.
Sunday morning after the Texas had
gotten ten miles this side of Cape Hen
ry, an extra heavy gale struck her and
Capt. McDorman returned to Hampton
Roads and remained there until Z
o'clock Sunday evening before putting
out for Savannah. The ship again
struck a heavy wind, which was blow
ing at about forty-eight miles an hour,
as she came around Frying Pan, on the
Carolina coast, and Capt. McDorman
took refuge in the Cape Fear river.
This was on Monday night and the
Texas remained anchored UP the Cape
Fear until Tuesday afternoon before
proceeding on her voyage.

MORE DETAILS FROM
JAPANESE SIDE

) TOXIC, Oct. l2.-l8 p. m. )-Reports
dispatched last nj gllt from the scene
Of the battle now raging along an
extended front from a central point
north Of Yentai westward across the
railroad southeast Of Bensihu on the
Taitse river. says that the struggle
continued undecisively throughout the
day. The Japanese commanders
avowed purpose was to continue the
assault throughout the night and the
following day. The Russians have a
great force down close to the Taitse
river. Apparently Field Marshal Oya-
mas attack was nicely timed, to In
terrupt the strong turning movement
that was threatening Liaoyang itself.
The right army reporting last night
says:
Open Artillery Attack.
The enemy's artillery opened a Sc
we're attack at 10 o'clock Tuesday
against our forces at Gensihu. The
enemy, with one regiment from his
right and five battalions from his CEN
ter, assumed the aggressive. Fight
ing is now progressing. He is bonn
harding ports between Ia pass and
Bensihu. In the direction OF Tument-
su pass, another artillery duel is pro-
crossing. Our detachment sent to the
left bank of the Taitse river returned
after driving the enemy back. The
enemy has some guns near Tayupu,
on an upper stream of the Taitse riv-
er. The enemy is holding line from
Tumentsu pass to Bensihu and east
of the roadway he has eighty guns and
fully two divisions of infantry. The
enemy opposing the main strength Of
the right army and holding line
from Sanchimtzu to Paciatzu number
four divisions.
Center Advances.
The center army reports that It's
right column. which has been occupy
ing the heights north Of Yamentzu
since yesterday, is cooperating with
the left column Of the right army and
has begun advancing toward Ouchi-
atzu which place it attacked. In the
meantime the left wing advanced and
attacked Wanoniutum and Samkwai-
shishan. The result of the attack in
these directions is unknown. The en-
envy organized on the left column
holds a line from Fanchiatan, on the
Schile river, to Reuitaoku and makes
a stubborn resistance.
It was known, says the report be-
fore we could effect our intended adj
vance. The enemy. opposing this
column is slightly less In number
than one division.

BIG FINE Levied
AGAINST WELSH MINERS


London Justice confirms the report
that the miners OF Wales have been
fined s2s5,o00 for laying off work
or taking play days"-in order to
prevent the accumulation Of a great
surplus Of Coal and then being forced
tc accept a reduction Of wages "Un-
der this delightful capitalist SYSTEM"
says Justice, "the miner is exploited
and plundered all the time. His in
dustry produces an excessive supply
Of COAL this reduces prices, and he
is at once called upon to accept lower
wages or to play half his time, at
his own cost. If, on the other hand,
he endeavors to regulate the output
and his playtime, so that there should
be no gsut. he is punished by and &C
ton at law, and his union is mulcted
in heavy damages. If he 'playst' o
please himself, or to regulate the sup
ply, he not only has to pay for his
playtime-to which he does not OBJ
ject- but he has to recoup his master
for the profit he might have made for
him. When, however, his master
forces him to play. he cannot claim
any compensation for, the loss at
wages due to his involuntary idle
ness" " =; -:

flourish in the field Of trades union

draw the life from the common cause

THE VITAL QUESTION,

With rare instinct, perhaps and keen
tice in the field of political strategy,
the two great political parties have
come to realize that the Industrial
question Is the paramount issue Of the
coming campaign and that it will be
the vote Of the workingmen that will
dominate the political policy Of the
country.
To this end each is trying to i'm
press upon the worker-voter the vast
amount Of good it's particular party
has done in the interest Of the worker
and is promising a countless number
toier if he but votes the way he should.
There-right THERE'S the point. If
he but votes the way he should" But
the question arises, does the word
should mean either of the present
parties? We are not asserting that it
does not, but We simply ask the ques-
ton. While the workers should be
flattered with this attention of the
two big parties and should listen care
fully to what each has to say, they
should clearly bear in mind the one
basic fact of supreme Importance to
labor.
This is that the present industrial
depression and those of the past, the
shutting down of mills and the increas-
ing of the army Of unemployed are all
facts inherent in the present system of
industrial production. These phenom-
ena will continue while the system con-
tlnues nor will they, nor can they,
cease simply because one political par
ty or the other, equally devoted to the
perpetuation Of the existing system, is
for the time being in control Of the
governmental machinery. Nothing but

ers, and not Of strife and insecurity.
The toller should not believe all he
hears or all he reads, but should lis
ten to it all and then think it out for
himself. God did not give him brains
and expect him to have other people do
his thinking for him. He created him
with just as good and just as much
Intelligence as anybody else, and if
he does not make use of those faculties
he reflects discredit upon himself and
his Creator. First ascertain just what
part Of its promises it will be possible
fol any particular party to make good,
and then deduct what part 1t will
make good. The balance will repres-
ert the chances you are taking and
what is in store for you

A FRIENDS UNFOUNDED FEARS.

The head of the Hull House, the lead
ing social settlement of Chicago and
OF the United States, Miss Jane
Addams has contributed an article to
the North American Review, on THE
Present Crisis in Trade Union Morals"
Miss Adams is one of organized
labor's sincerest and staunchest friends
and anything she says upon the sub
ject OF unionism-its principles, meth
DDS, objects, activities-is worthy of
careful and sympathetic consideration.
There is much in the article which is
very complimentary to the labor move
ment, and the highest compliments are
unconscious. Miss Adams EXPECTS
much from organized and federated
labor; her standards Of conduct and
character, with reference to labor, are
high indeed.
Thus declaring that there is un-
doubted evidence that many unions are
suffering from the present low stand
ard of public morality, and share the
more brutal doctrine Of commercialisn
which makes a man resolve to get
there despite obstacles from without
or scruples from Within" Miss Adams
says:
1T Is indeed cold comfort to say that
the methods of labor organizations are
no worse than the methods adopted by
certain organiza tons Of capital. II a
small body of men become so absolute
ly engrossed in making money that
they disregard public rights, that they
bride and browbeat railroads from the
functions of common carriers to that
Of grantors of favored rates-that is
certainly dep1orable: but. after all, not
SO deplorable as when large body of
workingmen disregard public rights and
involve the honor and moral standard
