The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1904-02-18

The excellent plan of pensionng superannuated
employees which was inaugurated by the Pennsyl
vana and Chicago & Northwestern companies on
January l. 1901 followed by the Illinois Central six
months later has proved 50 satisfactory that it is
gradually being adopted by other companies, says
the Railway Age. The latest to announce the es-
tablishment of pension system is the Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad Company, which operates some 1920
miles of road, and controls companies representing
over 5000 miles more. The basis upon which pen
sions are figured is practically the same in all
panies namely allowance for each year of service
of | per cent of the average regular monthly pay
received for the 10 years preceding retirement but
whereas some companies require 30 years of con-
tnuous service and others 20 years, the Atlantic
Coast Line pensions all who have been 10 years in
the service their reaching the retirement age OF
70 yearsor of 81 to So years n>cases of ncanacity
for further service The usual clause prohibiting the
regular employment thereafter Of any person over
80 years Of age is modified by this company to read
No person inexperienced in railway work 35
years of age, and no experienced person over 45
years of age shall hereafter be taken into the SER
vice. subject to exceptions for temporary or special
service

THE JETTY AND THE BAR DREDGE.

If the bar dredge Chinook accompshes no more

accomplished by the jetty the depth will not be

the jetty for great many years yet today there is
no water on the bar than there has been in the
past-not nearly as much as during the period from

affirming the decision of the lower court
in favor of appellees.
The facts in the case are as follows:
In June, 1900, the aDpeees imported
from India into the port of Baltimore,
Nd, a cargo of gunny bagging. The gun
nies were purchased by the importers AZ
Calcutta. and were invoiced in rupees
which are silver coins of India The col
lector at Baltimore liquidated the duty on
the said goods by converting into United
States gold dollars the rupees of the in
voices at the rate of 80 cents for each
rupee. To this liquidation the importers
entered a protest on the ground that the
basis used in reaching the value of the
rupee was the exchange or commercial
value of the coin, when the metallic value
should have been used. The contention
OF the appellees was upheld by the court
and IN future the collector will have to
reckon the value of this coin according
to It's metallic value and not according
to It's commercial or exchange value.

Admiral Togo was unable to learn def
nitely the results OF the bombardment,
but later private reports indicate that
much destruction was caused in the city,
where a series of fires broke out. There
also was damage to batteries.
Capt. Shokiroasai, commanding the
hotilla OF torpedo boat destroyers, had
only three destroyers, but attacked the
six Russian destroyers, ordering his craft
to close in with the enemy. He steamed
so close to the enemy's destroyers that
they almost touched and most dcsper
ate conflict ensued from which the Rus
slams retired badly disabled.
The Japanese aotilla, which sunk the
mines at the mouth of the narbor, later
| engaged two Russian destroyers. This
hotilla was commanded by Commander
Tsuchiya.
Admiral Togo's object in sending cruis-
ers to Tallen Wan bay was to encom-
pass the destruction of a signal station
mine deport at Samshantao. This OBJ
l. ject was achieved and the buildings We're
demolished.
Rear Admirals Dewa and Uriu partici-
lpated in the operations under Admiral
Togo, the details of whose operations be-
came known in Japan only today. The
news created intense enthusiasm. Admi-
raj Togo's report came last night, but it
was withheld until shown to the en-
peror.
The latest reports place the japanese
loss at nine killed five seriously wounded
and seventeen slightly hurt. The Japa-
Inese fleet was not damaged in the fight
