SAILORS REBEL United States Cruiser
 Marblehead. OFFICER MULLIGAN
No Shore Leave, Penitentiary Hair Cuts and the Lack of Fresh Vegetables Cause of
 Trouble.

San Diego, Gal, Feb S.-According to certain sailors of the United States cruiser Marblehead, which arrived yes terday, trouble which had been brew ing for some time aboard the cruiser became acute when the vessel arrived at Pichilinque bay several days ago, and the men openly shirked work and Commander Mulligan was forced to read to them the articles of war cover ing mutiny.
 According to the stories told by the bluejackets, they have had almost no shore leave since the cruiser arriveL at San Francisco for Port Angeles two months ago. When the Marbleheau came to San Diego three weeks ago shore leave was expected, but again refused. The bluejackets complained because the commander ordered what they termed 'penitentiary Lair cut . and because they did not have enough fresh vegetables and because their wages were not forthcoming on pay day.
 At Pichilinque bay, the sailors say, while nobody refused to coal the ship. most of them worked so leisurely that the job, took five days instead of one, and much of the coal, with which the Marblehead was to be charged, was dumped into the sea instead of into the bunkers. Offensive notices, 1t is said, were written on the coal cars. Punishment of various sorts was meted out with liberal hand and when the vessel arrived at San Diego she brought a thoroughly e2asperated crew. The greater number of the men have only three or four months to serve and they declare they will not re-ship.
 The story of the trouble on the Mar blehead is obtained wholly from mem- berS of the crew, but the versions Of the affair given by them tally closely with each other. Commander Mulligan declined fiatly to say word about the affair, and the other officers are equal ly reticent.

 Willow Street.

Last evening about o'clock car on North Willow street banged into an express wagon driven by Monroe Taylor. The driver was thrown out and the vehicle was dragged some distance before the car was brought to halt. The driver is said to have been crossing the track and did not get his wagon out of the way in time to prevent it being hit by the oncom- ing car. The accident happened opp0- site Grove street and as the grade is steep at this point Motorman Town was not able to bring the car to halt as quickly as he might on level road Taylor was picked up and earned into the store of Cannon & Jones at the corner of North Willow and West Main streets and was later removed to the office of Dr Crane.

 New York. Feb. S-"In discussing the possibilities of a challenge for the America's cup from Sir Thomas Lip ton or another foreign source and the probable course of the New York Yacht club on receipt of such a ehal- lenge." says to-day's Times. "the as- tonishing statement was made by prominent member of the New York Yacht club yesterday that the Reliance would be used in all probability as the defender of the cup even though the challenge called for race with schooners as has been suggested, and that to meet these conditions she would have 10 be converted.
 aIt is a perfectly practical sugges- ton and meets Sir Thomas and any other challenger at every point. If seventy-fOOt sloop as suggested by Sir Thomas is named as the challenger. the challenge will be accepted and the Reliance used against the challenging boat in spite of the big allowance she would have to give. If fl0feot schooner is named. the Reliance VIII be converted and will stfIl be the de fender. If a 9ofoot sloop is named 1t will of course be the Reliance which will cross the line as the defender of Americas priceless trophy. Under old rule or new. Reliance is looked up- on as eapable of successfully defend ing the cup and will certainly be the clubs reliance"

 Their Hardships.

Seattle. Wash, Feb. S-Eleven sur viyors of the wrecked ship Challenger. burned and scuttled on the coast of Japan, arrived here on the Shinano yesterday. The men were sent to this country by the American consul at Yokohama. They said Captain Hen derson. master of the Challenger. had been sent to San Francisco on one of the oriental liners.
 All the men bore traces of the ex- periences through which they had passed. For almost T month they had fought the flames on the old wooden bark and at times the vessel was kept atioat by only the most heroic work on the part of the officers and crew.
 For days at time they were up- able to get their sleep or rest and when the ship was finally scuttled on the Japanese coast they were almost too exhausted to get ashore. The ship was beached without the loss of single life.

RATE BILL PASSED.
Overwhelming Vote in Favor of the
 Hephurp Kill in tba uousa

Hepburn Bill in the House.
 Washington, Feb S.-Anticipating the roll call of the rate bill, there was large attendance at the session of the house today and the galleries were crowded. After the roll call, the an- nonncement of the passage of the bill was received with applause. Speaker Cannon stated that the vote was 346 in favor of the bill and opposed Those voting against the bill were all republicans, as follows: Littlefield of Maine, Mccall and Weeks of Massa- chusetts, Perkins. Southwick and yeer- land of New York and Sibley of Penn sylvania.
 Washington, Feb. S-The following is summary of the Hepburn rate bill on which the house votes today:
 The, ,bill. according to Mir Hepbmns statement in closing the debate on the measure. was intended to and did. so for as it could be made. com ply specifically with the recommenda- lions of President Roosevelt. It gives the fnter-state commerce commission authority. when rate has been com plained of as unreasonable" by shipper to investigate that rate. state whether or not 1t Is unreasonable, and if found to be unreasonable to name rate which Is to be just and reason- able and fairly nemunerative, which is to be the maximum rate to be charged.
 The rate so fixed is to go into effect thirty days after it is announced by the commission, subject during that time to be set aside or suspended by the commission or by the courts. Af- ter it has gone into effect it is to re- main the rate for three years. Dur ing this time the opinion has been ex- pressed by those who have participa- ted in the debate. the rate may also be reviewed by the courts and if it is found to conflict either with ahe terms of the act or with the constitution by being confscatory. can be set aside hy the courts
 Another important feature Is the definition of the word "railroad- and transportation" in a manner to in- clude all auxiliary instrumentalitics of the common carrier and to bring them within the control of the com. mission. This power to name a reas- enable rate and the inclusion of the auxiliaries within the jurisdiction of the commission, are said to be the new features. All other provisions are notifications of existing law. They include publicity of railroad methods which is to be aided by pre- scribing a system of bookkeeping and enlarging the commission to seven members and increasing salaries of members to s10.0o0 year.
 In the senate to-day Senator Lafol. lette introduced bill prohibiting fed. eral officers from asking or accepting railroad or other passes and prohibit ing railroads from giving them.
