Des Moines Daily News: Members
of the Fifty-first Iowa volunteers are
especially interested in the accident to
the Manchuria, which ran onto the
coral reef off Oahu Island, near Homo
lula, a few days ago. When making
the trip to the Orient to fight Span
iards and Filipinos the Iowa soldiers,
on the army transport Pennsylvania,
ran onto the same reef. Speaking of
the experience today, Deputy Sheriff
Ben Ness said:
I'VE hit the reef about O'Clock

scared, 1 can tell you. The whole boat
shivered and we thought we We're on

During the past few days there has

games running along the waterfront,
however Yesterday one was in prog
ress just outside the barricade on the
Hackfeld wharf, at which, while wait

of the players did a little politics on

THIRTY YEARS IN
AND OUT OF PORT

Captain Parker, who is here in COM
mand of the naval transport Lawton,
is one of the best known commanders
visiting this port, having been in and
out of Honolulu for the past thirty
years. During the revolution of 1887
he was stationed here with the cruiser
Adams, which remained eighteen
months. During that time the officers
of the Adams made themselves very
popular among the citizens, King Kali
akaua being a frequent visitor on
board the cruiser.
A strong friendship was formed at
that time between Kalakaua and Cap
tain Parker, a friendship which con-
tinued up to the time of the King S
death in San Francisco. the captain
being with him during his last illness,
visiting him shortly before his death.
Captain Parker has many interest ting
"reminiscences to relate of Honolulu
thirty years ago, one of his stories
dealing with a plot of the revolutionists
to board the Adams and capture her
gatling gun for use ashore.
Speaking of the Midway Island af-
fair with the Mongolia and the Ane-
gawa. concerning which he had heard
considerable at Midway, Captain Par
ker expresses the opinion that Captain
Hanabusa did his duty. He remained
at Midway as long as there was any
possibility of rendering assistance and
only obeyed the dictates Of prudence in
leaving when he did.

DIFFERENTIAL IS ADJUSTED
New Grain Rate Declared to the
Gulf by the Missouri
Pacific.

Effective September l, the Missouri Pa
cific will publish rate on grain to West
wego, Galveston and Texas City from
Omaha OF IN cents on wheat and 16k
cents on coarse grains and a RTE of 1 cent
less from Kansas City to those points.
This is a cut of 1 cent to maintain the
agreed differential between the Atlantic
and gulf rates, the wabash having an
nounced 1-cent reduction in the rate to
the Atlantic seaboard. This rate will apply
as long as the Wabash rate is, in effect
and after that the rate will be lsh cents
on wheat and IN cents on coarse grains.
The latter basis was lately announced by
the gulf roads and is merely a lineup or
differentiais. the figures being but a small
fraction Of a cent higher than the previous
rates. These are net rates and do not in
clude fobbing charges at ports.

that territory. The only argument was as
to what constituted fair rates, and this has
been settled without controversy OF any
kind.
THE commercial interests of Omaha way
well congratulate themselves upon the
spirit of loyalty and unity that has been
shown by all of the individual members
in this controversy. 1t has enabled US to
stand firmly for proper treatment in this
case and it has given notice to the world
