TALKS OF LOSS OF THE cLALLAM.
Delegate From Seattle to Meeting Of
Harbormasters Gives His Views.

D. T. DANES, representative from Harbor
No. 49, Masters and Pilots, located at Sc
attic, has been in the city attending the
Grand Harbor voyage of the American AS
ISOLATION of Masters and Pilots of Steam
Vessels.
Capt. DANES has seen twenty seven
years service on the Puget sound on vari-
Gus steam vessels. In conversation this
morning the captain was asked what in
his judgment, was the cause of the Clal-
lam disaster which occurred in the straits
San Juan de Fuca few days ago.
He said that probably the actual facts
would never be known. AS for the sea-
worthineSS of the vessel, there could be
no doubt as to her ability to weather OUT
any gale in that vicinity as long as she
was kept off shore. In fact, he had COM
pimented one of the officers of the COM
pany very lately on having one of the finest
all round steamers in those waters
I'm my judgment" he said, something
must have been radically wrong, and that
by some oversight one or more of her dead
lights portfolios had been Inadvertently
left open-probably the after ones-and the
same was not discovered until too late.
| merely state this as my personal opinion,
knowing the waters and the vessels that
ply therein as / do
There is one sad feature of all of this
The lax laws governing the inspection serv-
ice and navigation in general should be
speedily attended to. Our corps of local
inspectors are of the most capable of any
in any district in the United States, but
they are powerless in great many things
For instance, in specifying what officers
and crew a steam vessel Of the kind of the
Clallam should be compelled to carry This
vessel, capable of carrying at least 300 pas
sengers. manned by one deck officer
beside the master, and that one officer
acting as pilot well. This vessel was
under steam fully twenty hours out of
every twenty-four hours
These are some of the abuses that the
American Association of Masters and Pilots
of Steam Vessels are bringing to the notice
Of the board Of supervising inspectors OF
steam vessels, and we pray that speedy
relief may be granted the navigating officer
This is bitter lesson to our people; the
loss of life was great, and in this instance
might have been much greater had it not
been for the heroic efforts of the vessel s
first officer, G. w. Dony. who is a veritable
hero in this affair."

HANNA CONDEMNS SOCIALISM.
But Sustains Labor Organizations
When Acting in Fairness.

Senator Hanna of Ohio contributes to the
February number of Boston magazine an
article on Socialism and the Labor
Unions" After expressing his belief IN the
power of education, and declaring that the
basis of right success is fairness and JUS
tice, Senator Hanna writes:
There is no more engrossing question
than that of the relation between labor and
capital, which seems the paramount issue
today -
1.-THE instinct of workingmen to band to-
gether to protect themselves is no more to
be wondered at than the same instinct
when shown on the part of capital. Now
my plan is to have organized union labor
AmericaniZed in the best sense and thor
oughly educated to an understanding of
its responsibilities, and in this way to make
it the ally of the capitalist rather than
foe with which to grapple
Labor organizations may be open to
sharp criticism at times, but 1t cannot be
fairly stated that they are always wrong.
If every man Is treated man, and an
appeal made to his heart, as well as to his
reason, 1t will establish a bond of conf
dence as a sure foundation to build upon.
While labor unions may have been curse
to England, 1 believe that they will prove
boon to our own country, when proper
basis of confidence and respect is estab-
lished.
THE menace of today, as view it, is the
spread of spirit of socialism, one of those
things which is only half understood and is
more or less used to infiame the popular
mind against all individual initiative and
personal energy, which has been the very
essence of American progress There is
spirit of cooperation or community of in
terests which some people may confound
with socialism that is making Roadway
with US, but when any one attempts for DO
l1tlcal or financial reasons. to advocate the
whole program of European socialism he
will find little prospect of the seeds taking
root in American soil. This, I think, was
demonstrated very conclusively in the Ohio
campaign, where higher socialism was
brought forth as an issue"

wounds. At first it was thought that his
skull was fractured. The warden has a
half-dozen wounds the head, none OF
them being serious.

awaiting trial at the March term of court

the cell. saying he believed that Bond who
occupied the same cell, was seriously i'll.
Beckwith summoned Warden Gotwals who
not suspecting anything, Immediately en-
tered the cell. The instant he stepped in
side, CORVALLIS closed the door, and both
prisoners seized iron bars and pounded the
warden until he became unconscious. TINS
was the work of but moment
Then the two prisoners left the cell and
assaulted Beckwlth, who had made des-
perate attempt to help his chief Beckwith

on the way to the gate. She pointed her
weapon at them and ordered them to return
to their cells. This, with the screams of

frightened the men. and they retreated.
Mrs. Gotwals' revolver, by the way, was
not loaded.
