The London Bus Driver.

The last few days have seen the ar
rival In London Of great crowd OF
beauty, fashion and wealth. The
American girl is here and she is teach

Our Anglo American hotels are full
to overhowing; there is an enormous
demand for ice cream, soda and Mag

and the bus driver Is in his element.

anu IfequentIy iuCiuue many fHtiHDeIh
OF the same family. There is conse-
quently a bond of cohesion among
them which Is not TO be found in the
case Of British crews. French seamen
are during the whole Of their career
more or less under naval discipline
and cannot readily escape the conse-
quences OF misconduct. In his letter,
cuthbert Laws says:
More important still as nuilifying
the conclusions Of the commissioner Of
navigation, is the fact that inquiries
which my executive have made in
France have resulted in the informa-
tion from an authoritative quarter. that
the failure OF French vessel to main
tain the proper complement OF French
hands on board during the currency Of
la voyage which had been commenced
under the prescribed conditions would
not deprive the owners OF that vessel
OF the bounty payment, II such failure
could be shown to. be due to desertion
In foreign ports, which would consti-
tute force majeure.' Under these cir
cumstances the inference drawn by the
commissioner Of navigation in this
connection falls to the ground"
The unreliability OF the evidence
taken in San Francisco is drawn at
tention to, but generally the facts
ELECTED justify the shipowners' attitude
with regard to crimping in that port.
The suggestion Of the consul general
at San Francesca that the crews OF
British ships be paid off there, or
should receive their wages weekly, is
one that could scarcely be expected to
appeal effectually to owners or cap
tains as practical, and 1t is not incor-
rectly assumed that to initiate such a
practice at port where the wages
were higher than at the port OF ship
ment would prejudice owners and ship
masters, whose authority would be
worth little. Owners ask II on the
adoption Of such proceeding in spe-
ciai cases the board of trade would
indemnify them against the claims Of
seamen for repatriation. The board OF
trade requested the opinion of the fed
Grafton on the advisability OF prevent
Ing the possibility OF profit accruIng
to the ship through the desertion Of
OF the crew, and In reply
they say that section 252 Of the mer-
chant shipping act. 1894. would be best
rendered effective by the systematic
prosecution Of deserters by the board
Of trade. so that the order OF a court
for the forfeiture OF their wages may
be obtained. the balance Of wages al
any) remaining after applying such
forfeiture to the expenses caused to
the shipowner by the desertion. would
then legally accrue to the exchequer.
II the board Of trade should be pre-
pared to adopt this course, the fedora
ton executive would be ready in cases
where the circumstances are such as
70 preclude the possibility of proceed
Ings against deserters, to advise mem-
bers to pay voluntarily to the ex-
rhequer the balance (if any) OF the
deserters wages remaining after de-
duction Of the expenses caused by the
desertion, and would raise no objec-
lion to a regulation making this course
under conditions specified.

CRIMPING IN AMERICA AS
VIEWED IN GREAT BRITAIN
Situation From Standpoint
OF Shipowners.

Liverpool Journal OF Commerce.
The question Of crimping Is one
which has been before the public for
years. and Is yet far from practical
solution, notwithstanding the avowed
determination OF the United States
authorities to put an effectuai stop to
the evil. Some correspondence has
passed between the board OF trade and
the shipping federation on the SUBJ
ject. but apparently 10 little purpose.
The latter body takes exception to por-
tions OF the report Of the United States
commissioner Of navigation dealing
with desertion OF seamen from for
eIgn" ships at San Francisco. and ey!-
ldence Is rendered In the form Of a
sworn affidavit by one Of the witnesses
Iexamlned--a shipmaster--that certain
matters referred to In the commits
sioner's report we're absolutely untrue,
and the deductions drawn not such as
were warranted. the scope OF the In
quiry being insufficient. and the basis
therefore unsound. II is alleged In the
report that causes connected with the
internal discipline OF the ships are re-
sponsible for the desertions OF seamen
to an even greater extent than the
|crlmping system which obtains at San
Francisco.
As supporting this argument the case
OF French vessels is quoted, the de-
sertIons from such being considerably
fewer than In British, German or Nor
wegian. This is said to be due to the
pecunIary inducements offered In
French ships, which In order 10 earn
their bounty must have three-fourths
OF the crew F'renchmen. San Fran
cisco In any case Is not the worst port
by any means for desertIons, and
should not be taken as representing
all that can be said against the systems
prevailing In other places. such as Port
land. Tacoma and various ports where
wages rule even higher. and blood
money" is outrageous. But even at
San Francisco desertion causes direct
loss to owners. because OF the higher
wages TO be paid and the shipping fees
to be met. In any case there Is no
lnducement 10 masters either for their
gain or that Of their owners
10 seek the clearance OF their fore-
castles. Doubtless in very exceptional
cases masters have assisted, directly or
In the desertion of some
members OF their crews. but these
cases are so few as to be ignored. and
cannot in any case be advanced as
majority or warTanting
the statement complained Of.
with regard to the comparison with
French vessels. there are many con-
which conduce to their
crews remaining by their vessels, which
are ignored by the commissioner of
These men have seldom
any knowledge of the English Ian
guage. and the temptation to desert in
a foreign country Is less than in the
case OF British or even OF Norwegian
and German seamen. They are as
rule men OF better class than those
