New STEAMER CARTH0SIAh
/ OVERDUE FROM SUNDERLAND
Vessel Sailed on Her Maiden Voyage
For This Port on Decem-
Der Il.

Some apprehension is being felt in
shipping circles here for the safety
OF the British steamer Carthusian
which sailed from Sunderland for this
port on her maiden voyage on De
cember II and has not since been
reported.
The steamer was recently com.
pleted at the yard OF her builders in
Sunderland and is under charter to
carry a cargo Of about 5000 tons Of
exports from this port to Europe or
tie United Kingdom.
With fair weather tie steamer
should have made the run across the
Atlantic in fourteen days and even
though she encountered several
storms she should have arrived here
before this time, unless some acci-
dent to her machinery occasioned a
delay of the voyage.
The vessel is in ballast and 1t is
feared she encountered the severe
storms which struck all incoming
transatlantic freighters during the
past month

JAPANESE TO BE PROTECTED.
Special Message to Congress on San
Francisco Situation.

Special Message to Congress on San
Francisco Situation.
Washington, Dec. 1S.-A special
message from the president transmit
ting the report of Secretary Metcalf
on conditions In San Francisco In on
nection with the anti-Japanese agita-
tion was read In congress today.
The presidents message says Mr..
Metcalf's report deals with three mat
ters Of controversy-the exclusion OF
Japanese children from the public
schools Of San Francisco. the boycott
ting OF Japanese restaurants and acts
of violance committed against the
Japanese.
The Japanese children, the president
says, are bright and clean and be-
they are scattered all over San
Francisco II would be impossible for
them to go to one special school.
There could be no objection, the presi-
dent says. to excluding Japanese from
schools on the score of age, II being
obviously not desirable that young
men go to school with children. The
number Of Japanese children attend
ing the school in San Francisco was
very small. The government has
brought suit to test the separate
school act.
Regarding violence to Japanese, the
president states that the sentiment I'm
California is for law and order, and
the San Francisco authorities assured
Mr.. Metcalf that the Japanese would
be protected. Should they fail so to
do, the president informed them that
both the civil and military force of
the United States would be employed
to protect the japanese.

Kingston, Jamaica, Dec. 1S.-Cap-
tain Bruinswig. In charge of the Ham
burg-American line tourist steamer
Prinzessin Victoria Luise, from New
York Dec. IL for this port, which went
ashore off Port Royal, committed sui
eide by blowing out his brains. The
passengers were landed safely here.
Captain Bruinswig, whose home was
at Hamburg, had been In the Ham
burg-American line service for about
twenty years. He entered as a fourth
officer and eight years ago was ad-
vanced to a captain.
The Victoria Luise Is pounding
heavily and the seas are breaking
over her, but hopes are still enter
tanned that she will be saved. She is
resting OF a rocky ledge.
In accounting for the stranding Of
the steamer 1t Is explained that she
was without a pilot and the captain
was In charge. He followed a wrong
course and piled her upon the rocks
just under the lighthouse. Two hours
later the captain locked himself In his
cabin and blew out his brains.

Nava Personnel Bill.
Washington, Dec. 1S.-A ~pictorially
illustrated message from President
Roosevelt portraying conditions as he
found them on the Isthmus of Panama
during his recent visit occupied the
senate during the greater portion of
its session. Printed copies Of the
message, handsomely bound, were
placed on the desk of each senator and
the reading of the document was close
L. followed. Preceding the Panama
message the presidents recommends
lions respecting public lands and the
naval personnel were received and
read.
In his message on the public lands
the president urges the repeal OF the
timber and stone act, demands the
radical amendment of the desert land
act; urges the repeal of the commute
ton clause Of the homestead act. all OF
which he declares now serve to turn
great tracts of land over to specula-
tors and corporations.
To prevent the fraudulent acQuisi-
ton of the public lands, the president
says he has directed the secretary of
the interior to allow no patent to be
issued to public lands under any law
until, by an examination OF the
ground, actual compliance with the
law has been found to exist. For this
purpose al increase OF special agents
In the general land Office is urgently
required. The president believes that
there should be provision for leasing
coal, OIL and gGs rights under proper
restrictions.
The president condemns tine present
system of promotion of line officers Of
the navy as archaic, without parallel
in the navy of any other first-class
power.
He urges legislation that will cause
officers OF the line to reach the grades
Of captain and real admiral at less adj
vanced ages and will give them more
experience and training in the i'm
portant duties of those grades.
