Yesterday morning witnessed the
arrived here of the sea-going dredger
Pacific, from San Francisco, which port
was left on the 18th ult. A pleasant
trip TO Honolulu was enjoyed. She
has a tonnage of only 35S, but is liter
ally packed with machinery. Her
present complement is 25 men, which is
likely to be increased in the near flu
ture. The Pacific is owned by the
North American Dredging Co. and is
under lease to the San Francisco
Bridge Co. for use in dredging Homo

government for the improvement of
the local farbor. The Pacific has been
engaged in dredging at Tacoma for the
past two years. Her commander is

he left Honolulu in the ship Clarence

information was given by 'K1ondyke"
Brown, who arrived from Maui yester-
day. He has been attending TO the
wrecking of the Spartan and expects
the venture to realize a profit. Con-
siderable copper has been taken off
her, some of which was brought here
by the Maui and sold to local dealers.

HOW HE LOOKS AND ACTS
feIIer, the Standard OIL
King,

Would it interest you for a change to
read about John d. Rockefeller-somethlng
besides an attack on his fortune or an ac-
count of the way he constructed his trust? !?
Would you pay attention to a feeble effort
to tell you what the most powerful man in
the United States looks like? II so, read
on:
Mr.. Rockefeller has absolutely no hair on
his head, no beard, no eyebrows or eye
lashes. And yet, curiously enough, the eff
feet is in no way repulsive. The head, in
the first place, is splendidly shaped, very
big well developed on top and at the sides.
The brain in there that has beaten the
American business men, overcome legisla-
lures, made laws or ignored them, is a big
brain, capable Of plenty of work
The face is tanned dark brown from out
of-door life; the shoulders are wide. though
STOPPING the hands powerful; the legs and
arms must at one time have belonged TO a
very strong man,
If 1t is true that Mr., Rockefeller has
broken down his physical health, overwork
of the brain has certainly destroyed a very
good physical machine.
The most striking thing about the man is
the curious shape and expression OF his
face. II is naturally a kindly face The
look in the eyes, in spite of a certain
anxious rowing, is really benevolent. He
speaks TO the negro in charge OF the Pull
man car with politeness that is almost
deterential. and returns with punctilious
Omaha daily bee., 1905-07-01

courtesy the salutations of the conductor Of
the train and of others who look at him, al
most holding their breath.
The lower part of his face comes TO a
curious point. The mouth, with a pointed
lower lip indicates years of close mental
concentration. Upon his face there is per-
petually the expression of the man puzzling
his mind as to his next move at chess.
1t is a pointed face beneath very wide,
well developed head. If one tried to analyze
1t zoologically, it might be said that the
elephants brain and the fox's cunning had
combined to produce the physiognomy OF
the most successful man in the great Amer
ican game.
He is big old man, wide shoulders stoop-
ing; intelligent, light blue eyes. looking oue
always sideways, never straight ahead. His
splenddly developed head offers the phre-
nologist most tempting field, bare as II is.
II the scientists are right. and evolution
shall make us all bald some day, removing
the last animal hair, we can find comfort in
the fact that Mr.. Rockefeller's hairless
head is by no means ugly.
He is a pleasant-faced old man. really
kindly at heart and wanting to do good and
be liked. He takes a boyish interest in what
little fun he has-he ran beside the moving
train like boy OF s.
Inc friendly look IN his eye changes some
times to fieeting but distinctly unpleasant
look Of menace when he sees strangers
eyeing him too closely; the look lasts only
a second-the deferential almost obsequl-
ously polite old man is again before you
When you see this very powerful man
leading his absolutely simple life. above ALL
refraining from any ostentatious display or
any waste of human labor, you feel thank
full that such very great power is placed in
hands that do so little harm.-San Francisco

the steamer Realizing that the Japanese
were determined to sink his vessel, the
master of the Pembroke retraced his course
and eluded his assailants. Complaint was
made 10 the officials at Toxic and indem-
nifty to the amount of $4,000 was demanded
and paid"
fortnight later the French dispatch
boat Klenchang was attacked in the same
manner, and nearly sunk, while many of
her men were killed. A Dutch cruiser. the
Medusa, went to the straits to see about
the matter, was attacked by the batteries
and the small Japanese fleet with such
success that four of the Medusa's men
were killed and five wounded. and thirty
one shots took effect in her hull, nearly
sinking her.
Next, the French gunboat, the Tancrede
got in range of the batteries and war
boats Of the Japs and was sunk; and not
long afterward a Japanese steamer, which
the warriors mistook for a foreigner, was
sent to the bottom after nine officers and
nineteen seamen had been killed.

1t may be seen by this that the Choshiu
men were having all kinds of fun. and it
really was a shame to spoil 1t. But Cap
tain McDougal and the Wyoming were in
the neighborhood, and in no too good
humor and when the news Of the indignity
to the Pembroke reached the doughty
American commander he proceeded to take
the matter into his own hands. though the
Wyoming was all ready to sail for nome.

hostilities, "he dropped anchor" says Mac

In these days of japanese prowess on the
sea il is a matter of satisfaction to the
people OF the United States that it was
through their influence that the island ma
tion received its first introduction to west
ern civilization. Furthermore, though few
people remember It, the United States is
Japan on the seas.
The chapter of history in which Uncle
Sam taught the mikado's people that his
ships and seamen were something to be
feared was written away back in 1868, and
It's pages are almost hidden in the mass
OF stirring events that were occurring at
that time. For our civil war was at its
height, and happenings in far-off Japan,
no matter how important, were too far
away to attract attention. But the story
OF the conflict between Japan and the
United States read today makes the AFFAIR
: seem so important that the only wonder
8to us is that It did not result in something
imore serious.
In fact, President Roosevelt in speaking
OF IT, said: Had that action occurred at
= any other time than during the civil war
it's fame would have been echoed all over
the world"

moment 1t looked very much like defeat
The Lancefeld was now observed to slip
its cable and steam over to the northern
shore, probably with a view of gathering
headway for ramming the helpless Ameri-
can. Realizing the danger, McDougal di-
rected all his attention to the steamer, hop
ing to disable 1t before 1t could do
the threatened mischief.
Meantime the Wyoming's engines had
been reversed, and after a powerful effort
it was backed clear of the mud and into
deep water. Maneuvering as we'll as the
ive-knot current and sunken rocks would
admit of, McDougal got his two pivot guns
into play on the Lanceheld, and soon
eleven-inch shells were doing their awful
work on the hull of the steamer. The sec
ond carefully aimed shell from the forward
pivot gun crashed through the side of the
Lancefeld, one foot above the water line,
pierced the boiler and came out on the
other side. tearing a great hole in the hull
AS if not satisfied with the work, the shell
