OIL STEAMER
HAS HISTORY

The oil steamer Rosecrans, which is
making a long passage from San Fran
cisco to this port, has an interesting
history. She was built in the year
1884 in the Glasgow yards and was
christened Methven Castle. Her first
owner was the Donald Curry Line
which operated between Southampton
and the Cape of Good Hope.
When the trade between the Cape
and England grew beyond the steam
er's capacity she was taken off and
brought to the Pacific, where she was
put on the run between Tacoma and
China, and later between Portland and
China. In 1896 she was renamed the
Columbia and in 1897 the American flag
was hoisted over her at Hongkong. In
August 1898 she was chartered by the
United States government to carry
troops between San Francisco and the
Philippines. On her first trip she
struck a great typhoon and for thirty
nine hours her men lived below decks
with the matches battened down. She
gave SO much satisfaction that she was
purchased outright and rechristened
the Roseerans. Her first trip as a
regular transport was to China with
part of the Peking Relief Expedition.
Another history-nnaking event in
which the Rosecrans took part was the
deportation of the Filipino insurgent
leaders to the island of Guam. Among
the leaders that she carried We're Re-
carte, Pho del Pillar and Madame The
was sold in 1903 and was
then converted into an oil carrier. She
was in a heavy storm while coming
from San Francisco to this port in
November 1903 and had her wheel car
ried away. The trip, which was end
ed on December 3, occupied eleven
days. In June of this year she put in
to st. Miehaels. Alaska, to mend
hole&in her bow made by the ice. Her
owner is the Matson Navigation Com
pany which operates the Enterprise.

WHAT WAS THE WEED?

From Marshall County comes news
of desperate battle between a SIX
foot black snake and a three-foot cop
perhead, which resulted in victory
for the blacksnake.
Rev. J. w. Moref1eld saw the fight.
He found the snakes in deadly COM
bat The copperhead repeatedly sunk
her poisonous stings into the black
snake which attempted to coil itself
around the others body. After time
the poison of the copperhead began to
take effect. Suddenly it turned and
crawIed into the underbrush. More
field followed and saw the blacksnake
crawl up to peculiar looking weed OF
which it ate and then returned to the
scene of conflict. The copperhead dis
appeared, but the blacksnake found its
trail, which it followed.
Morefeld walked after it until the
blacksnake found the copperhead and
after another battle the blacksnake
coiIed around the copperhead and
squeezed it, TO death. The blacksnake
then swallowed the copperhead and
crawled slowly away.

MOVEMENTS OF
DEEP SEA SHIPS

Gains and light winds delayed the
American schooner Alpena, Captain
Spieer, which arrived yesterday @norn-
ing from Newcastle with a cargo of
coal amounting to about 1900 tons.
The passage was accomplished in 81
days which is not unusually slow for
this season. The voyage was unevent-
full, nothing was sighted and no men
We're washed overheard. The wind was
very light throughout the voyage and
there We're periods of calm. The Al
pena docked at the Fort street wharf.
The Marion Chileott sailed early yes
terday morning for the Coast. She

ship F'airport, which is now in the
stream waiting to be fumigated. She
Will discharge the remainder of her
cargo at Portland. Another movement
was that of the barkentine Olympic,
which hauled over to the Railway
wharf No. to discharge a consign-
nlent OF several hundred tons of fer
tilizer
Among the vessels due to arrive Is
the steamer Rosecrans with oil from
San Francisco. She is now out nearly
twelve days and should be in at any
time. No anxiety is felt for her safety
because she is a very slow vessel and
rough weather has been encountered
between Honolulu and the Coast by
other steamers. The schooner Omega,
Captain Nyman, is now out fifty days
from Newcastle and should put in an
appearance this week The Andrew
WEIGH is nineteen days out from San
Francisco today and should be in with
in a few days. The Nevadan is due
today from the Sound. The number
OF vessels in port has reached low
water mark but the arrival of some
of the ships mentioned will save it from
going below that mark.

FORTY YEARS AGO.
Excerpts from st. Paul Papers of May
9TH, 1854.

The people of st. Paul were great
ly shocked this week on hearing of
the brutal and cowardly murder of
John W. Cathcart, of the firm of
Cathcart Bros, dry goods dealers,
by guerrillas near Vicksburg. The
news first reached here through a
letter from Mr.. Howlands to Mr., A.
FL. Cathcart, brother of the de-
ceased. The latter was overseeing
the spring work on his large plan
tation in Mississippi, when he was
surprised by the appearance of an
armed and hostile looking mob, who
ordered him to accompany them.
They also took the forty negroes
and fifty horses on the plantation.
After travelling about five miles the
party brutally shot Mr.. Cathcart in
the head, killing him almost instant
ly. The body was found there sev.
eral days afterwards by searchers.
Thus ended the earthly career of
one of the kindest and gentlest men
we ever knew. Mr.. Cathcart was
one of our oldest residents, but still
a young man, and had promising
career before him. The remains
left St. Louis last Wednesday on
board the Hawkeye State, and will
probably arrive here on Monday or
Tuesday. Every effort will be
made to hunt down the murderers
and bring them to justice.
We haye been all winter counting
on the coming of spring to bring us

In spite of all this Mayor Smith
was reelected by a much larger
majority than he received two years
ago, every other administration can
didate was reelected by a substan-
tial majority, and while the person
mel of the city council will be
slightly changed, the democratic
majority of that body will be even
greater than formerly. All this
goes to show that whether the pres
ent democratic administration of
the city of St. Paul is as good as
the democrats say it is, or as bad as
the republicans say it is, it is the
kind of government that the major
ity of the people want, and the M
nority must bow in humble submis-
sion. 1t is only fair to say in this
connection, however, that the peo-
pie holding most of the administra-
zion Offices, such as treasurer, con-
troller, city attorney, city clerk,
etc., are both honest and capable.
The worst that can be said about
them by their political adversar;es
is that they are democrats.
