JAPAN's WONDERFUL POWDER.

/ JAHAN = WONOEftE'J IL GOU0I<Ea-
Since the war between Russia and
Japan began a good deal has been
heard of the Shimose powder, which
in the opinion of military experts.
gives Japan a great advantage both on
sea and land. The experts have been
reasoning from what was known of the
destructive effect of the powder in the
naval battles already fought, for ii was
not until few days ago that detailed
description of what the explosive can
accomplish reached London
This description shows the powder to
be even more powerful than was sup
posed. The compound. which was in
vented by Prof. Shimose, is of much
greater explosive force than gun cotton
or dynamite. Whereas a shell with
bursting charge of the compounds or
5linarily used in Europe is broken into
a comparatively small number of frag-
rnents, the majority of which are SCAT
tered through a very limited arc, the
Shirnose explosive skaters the prOjec-
tile into from 1000 10 5000 pieces. which
are driven in every direction with equal
force. so that nothing can live in the
vicinity. It is claimed that, IN spite
of its tremendous power, the powder
can be handled with perfect safety.
It also has the advantage of cheapness,
its cost being about half that of gun
cotton. Altogether it-seerns that ia pans
artillery is likely TO be far more efec-
tive than Russia's. It goes without
saying that the Toxic authorities take
the most elaborate precautions to keep
secret the details of the manufacture
of the powder.-New York Times.

OCEANIC 5. 5.
co. Wins A SUIT

The following decision handed down
at San Francisco Is of interest in this
city:
United States Circuit Judge Morrow
rendered an oral decision yesterday In
favor of the complainant in the slit
of the Oceanic Steamship Company
versus Frederick S. Stratton as Collec-
tor of the Port. The action was
brought to recover 1920 deposits eX-
torted from the steamship company by
a regulation of the Department of Com
merce and Labor providing that de-
post of 50 per head should be made
by the company for each alien passen-
ger in transit through the United
States.
Judge Morrow held that the require
ment respecting such deposit was
regulation in excess of the authority of
the secretary. The regulation in ques-
ton provided that no alien desiring adj
mission at a port of the United States
for the professed purpose of proceeding
directly therefrom to foreign territory
shall be permitted to land thereat ex-
cept after deposit with the Collector
of Customs at said port by the master
or owner of the vessel on which such
alien is brought of the amount of the
head tax, 81, prescribed by section
OF the act approved March 3, 1903, said
amount to be refunded upon proof sat-
isfactory to the immigration officer in
charge at the port of arrival that said
alien has passed by direct and con-
tinuous journey through and out of the
United States The immigration act
itself expressly provides that the head
tax therein mentioned shall not be
levied upon aliens in transit in the
United States. The court said that the
immigration Commissioner had no
power to require the deposit of the 49,
and had further no power to require
that such aliens shall pass 'by direct
and continuous journey through and
out of the United States"
The case was handled on behalf Of
the steamship company by Frank &
Mansfield.-Call.

DIDN'T WANT TO
SPOIL HIS PANTS

Although the sailing of the Oceanic
liner Sierra was scheduled for eleven
o'clock Wednesday evening she did not
get away for the Colonies until nearly
u o'clock yesterday morning. She
brought consignment of heavy ma
chinery for T. II. Davies & Co., includ-
ing an immense steam plow. 1t was
the unloading of these heavy and I'M
wieldy pieces OF freight that delayed
the steamer as they had to be taken
out before the ngnter stuff could be
removed. One great wheel TOOK the
combined efforts of a big gang of men
for over and hour and a half to un-
load. A single crate of machinery
weighed over four tons and another
two and one-half tons. An amusing
incident happened just as the steamer
departed. Three young men appeared
at the rail after the gangplank had
been lowered and only one steel cable
connected ship and shore. For some
reason they had been visiting the ship
and did not notice the final prepara-
tons for sailing. After much encour-
agement from those on the pier two of
the men slid down the cable. The
third stepped over the rail and on to
the cable. He glanced at the slender
strand, black and covered with grease
and then at his nice new pants. Then
his fingers clutched convulsively at the
rail. He hadn't the nerve to do it,
Slowly and majestically the ship NOV
ed back along the wharf. Inch by inch
the distance between ship and shore
increased, The young man made sew
eral downward lunges as If TO drop
but each time he saw the greasy ca
BILE the Instructor pants preservation re-
asserted itself. The steamer moved on.
He made last desperate lunge but his
nerve failed him and he would be sail
ing the tropic seas on the way to Aus
tralia now if a stevedore had not
grabbed leg just as it was rising for
the last time and the young man, best
pants and all came sprawling down the
cable just In time

GAELIC ARRIVES
OFF THE HARBOR

The Occidental and Oriental liner
Gaelic arrived off port at nine o'clock
last night and win come into the har-
Dor early this morning She brings 250
tons of freight for this port. AS she is
the slowest boat on the line the local
agents We're not looking for her until
tonight and she was not scheduled to
arrive until this morning so she has
quite distinguished herself on the eve
of her retirement from the Trans-Pa-
cific service. After her arrival in san
Francisco the liner will make one more
round trip to the Orient and on her
| arrival in Hongkong on January II,
will be returned TO her owners, the
White star Line. from whom she is
leased by the Occidental and Oriental
Company. The Gaelic is one of the
time -honored ships of this ocean and
her retirement will be a cause of re-
gret to many who enjoyed travelling in
the home-like old ship. DR.. Hawxhurst,
the surgeon of the Coptic, will join the
Gaelic on her last run and accompany
her to England. He was formerly on
the America Maru and the hundreds of
friends that he has made will deeply
regret his retirement from the Pacific
service. The Gaelic will probably get
away this afternoon and her sudden
appearance will make people hustle to
get their mail ready.

SISAL IN PORTO RICO,

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Aug. TO-
Backed by the necessary capital from
the United States. the Island of Porto
Rico might become the greatest sisal
fibre or henequen plant producing dis
trict under the protection of the Stars
and Stripes. Henequen grows almost
everywhere throughout the island, and
the natives have produced some or the
most surprising results with the fibre,
despite the fact that they have given
it little or no attention. They have
known the value of the plant for gem
erations, but with true tropical apathy
have taken hardly any steps at all to
make the most of their knowledge.
There are four kinds of the fibre
plant growing in Port Rico. They are
Henequen, Maguey, San Leveria. and
Emajagua. All belong TO the one family
of plant and although varying a trifle
as to the size of the leaf, and the quail
ity of the fibre, they still show plainly
the one genus. The plant is thickest in
the Mayaguez district on the eastern
shore OF the island.
OF the four varieties, San Leveria is
the faVorite with the natives. They
plat ropes from this fibre that for
strength and llghtness cannot be sur
passed. These ropes are used on all the
harbor sailing vessels and have often
been purchased by shippers offoreign
vessels putting in here. The rope is
made of every size, from the donkey
engine hawser to the much used piece
OF deck Irvine. 1t gives complete sat
isfactlon.
\ few enterprising men have tried
within the past few years to have the
natives stand by them In the attempt
TO boom the growth of the plants here.
