NIBLACK COMMANDS
THE IROQUOIS
TRANSFER OF COMMAND WAS
MADE TODAY-CAPTAIN RODMAN
GOES UP THE NAVAL VESSEL.

Captain Hugh Rodman is no longer in
command of the L. S. S. Iroquois. The
transfer of command occurred this
morning aboard the vessel Captain
A. P. Niblack is now the commander
Captain Rodman had planned to make
the transfer when the China arrived,
but it was afterwards decided to make
the transfer today. The ceremony was
simple and consisted of reading the
orders and mastering the crew. Cap
tain Rodman has been in command Of
the Iroquois since December, 1902. He
goes to the Asiatic station for prob
ably sea duty on some of the vessels.
Captain Niback and Lieutenant Slat-
terry, the engineering officer of the
| lighthouse board, will probably depart
this afternoon on the steamer Mikaha-
la to inspect the lighthouse and buoy
system of Kauai They expect to return

NEW TRANSFER
POINT STARTED
RAPID TRANSIT BEGAN TRANS
AMBER AND KING STREETS.

Transferring at the new junction Of
the Rapid Transit Company at the cor
ner of King and Alexander streets was
inaugurated this morning. The first car
to run over the Rapid Transit line
down the extension or AlCXan Ter street
was sent out this moving and trans
fers of passengers were made at that
roint instead of the ll1 point at McCul-
ly street.
Track laying was done iast night in
order to bring the car near enough to
King street to enable the passengers to
transfer from one car to another The
track was not put to King street how
ever, but was laid within about 200
feet of the King street line. Passen-
gers had, in consequence, to walk a
short distance to whatever car they de-
sired The lively appearance of the
McCully corner will probably be trans
ferred to the new junction which is
about a block away In the Eva direc-
ton. All of the cars meet at the new
station. The Kaimuki cars run down
TO Alexander street The Punahou cars
do not pass over the old line as that Is
10 be abandoned. The remainder of the
track on the new extension is being LAID
RAPIDLY and the cars will probably be
running to King street by this after
noon or tomorrow

THE ALAMEDA
TAKES NO PILOT
CAPT. DOWDELL HOLDS A PILOTS
LICENSE FOR THESE WATERS
AND PILOTAGE Is SAVED.

rs the pilot aboard yet?' asked a
number of people at the Oceanic wharf
yesterday, as the time approached for
the Alameda to sail, and the usual feel
ing of inquiry as to whether the vessel
would sail promptly on time, began to
be felt.
There was more or less craning Of
necks i'm response to the inquiry, as
people tried to get a view Of the bridge
But there was no one to be seen on the
bridge except Captain Dowdell and his
officer The steamship began to move
out from the wharf, and still those in
terested could see no pilot. Captain
DowdeI seemed to be taking the vessel
out himself
As matter of fact he was Yester-
day was the second time the Alameda
has sailed from this port without a To-
cal pilot. 1t is understood that this
will be the regular thing hereafter.
Captain Dowdell has held a pilots Ii
cense for these waters for about six
months, in addition to his masters liz
cense. The Alameda is in the coastwise
trade, and so with a master who holds
a pilots license as well, she is entitled
to enter and leave this port without
pilot, and thus save pilotage As she
makes seventeen trips a year. this
means considerable saving. The new
rule has been in force since the annual
meeting Of the stockholders of the COM
pany held a month or more ago in san
Francisco

Designation of Land.
GUYED FITz TO HIS SORROW.
Pugilist Gave an Unexpected Demon
stration of His Fitting Power.

From the New York Sun.
Bob Fitzsmmons gave an unexpected
demonstration of his physical might the
other day in a downtown sporting goods
house. The big fighter drops into this es-
Enlistment frequently and edifies the
clerks and whatever customers may be
about by his skill at drumming the punch
ing bag. He rarely fails to perform his
old trick of knocking the bag loose from
its bearings, and on this occasion, after
hard blow had torn the bag loose from
the string that held it, one of the officers
of the concern, who was looking on, and
who knows Fitz well, remarked to the
pugilist:
"Oh, I don't think much of that stunt,
Fitz; that piece of rope was an old one,
and 1t wouldn't take much Of blow to
break II. 1t took you some time to get
the bag loose, and my own opinion is you
are getting to be back number. If you
couldn't land on Corbett any harder than
that he'd trim you in jig time"
FitZ didn't say anything in regard to the
guying, but the mention of Corbett's name
made his face take on a more determined
expression.
''Then," said the business man in telling
of the incident, II got a brand-new piece
of stout sash cord, nearly thick enough
to lift a horse, and rugged up the punching
bag with the cord. Now l said to Fitz,
there is something you could not knock
loose in a hundred years Fitz damned
away at the bag viciously for a while. but
didn't knock it loose. stood there guying
him some more, telling him how he'd gone
back and all that, and then walked away
about twenty feet.
II turned around to see how Fitz was
getting along, and as l did so / saw his
arm shoot through the air SO fast 1t was
only blur in the air, and the next thing /
knew the bag was shooting through space
like a bullet.
.Tt was coming straight for me, too. and
at such speed that didn't have time to
dodge 1t. 1t cleared an intervening show
case, and the next instant was wonder
ing whether / was in the ring or in the
hospital. The flying ball caught me square
~ over the eye, and I surely thought 1
would have to take the count. The blow
dazed me for moment and nearly put me
out.
81 guess was the one that was being
guyed all the time, but In any event be-
tween the kick of mule and man who
can drive a punching bag twenty feet
through the air, and hard enough to almost
knock you down, the mule for mine /
don't think Fitz is quite a candidate yet for
the home for superannnated old men,.

TWENTY ACRES OF CARNATIONS
Average Yield is From 5000 to 10000
Flowers Every Day.
From the Los Angeles Times.


Commercial carnation growing in the
northern middle west and eastern parts of
this great country of ours has been prob
lem in economics. Outdoor growing in the
sections named is always confined to lin
tied times. or rather seasons. and so much
of 1t has necessitated dollhouse adjuncts
that theories vanished before the attacks
of conditions The flower is one that has
always been popular and has been cultured
and specialized to almost perfection, but
never commercially satisfactory, excepting
to the interested grower whose efforts he
came remunerative upon the extreme de-
mand and limited supply.
To the stranger within the gates of this
state the carnation growing of California
becomes an object of the greatest interest
and a most satisfactory sight. The success
of the enterprise and the very simple ana
effective style of cultivation make 1t an
other marvel in this land of natural won
ders.

In BRIEF the carnation fields are yielding
on an average from 5000 to 10000 flowers
every day in the year, with market in
which the demand is at all times greater
than the supply. The plants are perpetual

are taken in cuttings from the old ones
and put directly into the ground. They
take root In about four weeks, and In about
ten months are In bloom and continue to
give their daily quota OF blossoms until
they die out In planting the carnations
are placed in rows three feet apart and
the plants two feet from each other. This
permits the cultivation with horses, and
after once In healthy growth they require
only watchfuiness for disease and insect
pests, irrigation about every two weeks and
daily picking.
