Fairy McClain when she was but a

such as may have been their love af

of Osborn for his girlish sweetheart
was not diminished by her marriage
He was attentive to her after her di

THE SHIPPING
QUESTION:

BY JAMES w. w. BREWSTER.
THE modification or suspension of
the coast wise shipping law which is
at present being agitated in Congress,
is measure that should be defeated
at any cost. Some people will ask
why it will do harm, the answer is
this. If foreign ships are allowed to
carry passengers between two Ameri-
can ports, the American flag will in
a very short time been seen no more
on the high seas, and no true Ameri-
can is anxious to see that happen.
We have been trying for years to
get a subsidy bill through Congress
giving American ship builders and
owners a chance to compete with the
iother nations on the high seas in the
commerce of the world, and now some
come forward and ask that foreign
bottoms be allowed to do the business
between our own ports which right
fully belongs to the ships flying the
stars and stripes.
What is the result going to be if
the coast wise laws are modified? 1t
is going to mean that the few ships
left in the United States will be sold
to foreign countries, and the Ameri-
can flag will be no more seen. On
the other hand if that bill is killed,
and subsidy bill passed, what is that
going to do? 1t is simply going to
mean that in very short time after
the passing of the bill a number Of
American ships will be placed in COM
mission, new ships will be built, the
ship yards will be running again, and
thousands of men who need employ
ment will be given it.
Years ago America led the COM

Latest Shipping News of Honolulu
And Other Water Fronts

On the passage between Yokohama
and Honolulu, says the San Francisco
Chronicle, March &c, the Japanese
liner Nippon Maru had, according to
Captain w. w. Greene, the toughest
trip he has ever experienced in the
steamer. Great giant waves, which
warped themselves over the bows of
the trim liner and spread themselves
far above the smokestacks, continual
ly assailed the vessel. Often and often
the Nippon Maru had to be slowed
down to minister to the comfort of the
passengers. At Kobe a snowstorm
was raging, and the vessel was white
from stem to stern with falling flakes.
Many of the passengers on arrival
spoke bitterly of the discrimination
shown by DR.. st. Clair of the quaran-
tine service in dealing with passengers
on the vessel. Wong Yook Ming, a
Chinese passenger in the Asiatic steer
age, contracted smallpox before reach
ing Honolulu, and DR.. G. H. Terrill at
once Vaccinated as many on board as
was possible with the supply of lymph
at his disposal. When the Japanese

first week In October. so that this
month will be entirely taken up with
calls at Yokohama and Chefoo, China,

Philippines in November, so that the
greater part OF this month can be CIV
en- over to target practice.
4 Rear Admiral Sperry does not hope
to reach Colombo, 2,s46 knots from
Manila, until the middle of December.
The runs from Colombo to Alden, 2,130
knots; Alden to Suck, 1910 knots, to-
gether with the time consumed in get
ting the fleet through the canal, win
take, 1t is estimated, about one
month.
The navy department leaves the re-
mainder of the cruise to Rear Admiral
Sperry for such manoeuvers as he may
wish to execute in the, Mediterranean,
with the condition that Read Admiral
Sperry reach Gibrantar the first week
in February.
/ The officers and men of the Allan

department for 4,14s,500 pounds of pro-
visions for the $4,000 men and off

from San Francisco to Australia, ia
pan, China and to Manila. Provisions
for the return voyage from Manila to
Hampton Roads will be supplied from

part, and fresh vegetables, fruits, ETC.,
will be bought at Colombo, Alden, and

AMERICAN FLEET
NEARING SEATTLE

weeks target practice in the Philip
pines. Upon reaching Australia the
fleet will be divided, eight ships 60
ing to Melbourne and eight going to
Sydney, thereby saving several hays
time. The stops at Yokohama and
Chefoo will be for only six or seven
days, the fleet making longer stops at
Hawaii and Samoa owing to the diff
Guilty in coaling more than one or two
ships at time. The plans are for the
fleet to be on the Atlanta coast not
later than February 20.
Leaving San Francisco July 6. the
battleships are scheduled to cover the
2,1O0 knots to Hawaii in nine days,
arriving there on July 10, where the
coaling process will be long, keeping
the fleet until July rs.
The next run, from Hawaii to Sa-
moa, of 2,263 knots, will require at the
ten-knot cruising speed ten days, so
that the feet may be expected at Sa-
moa on August A. Another long stay
will be made on account of the coal
ing process at Samoa, the feet leav-
ing that port about August IA for
the 1856 mile run to Australia.
Two divisions of the fleet will
steam into Sydney about August "a,
whereas the two other divisions make
their call at Melbourne, where they
will remain for the last week in Au-
gust, steaming out at the beginning
of September to join the battleships at
Sydney and start on the long cruise
to Manila.
Reaching Manila the middle of Sep
TENDER, the fleet will spend eight days
in Manila Bay before leaving the Yo-
kohama.
