THE OTHER SIDE.
Captain Trainor of the barkentine
Benicia which left here on the Sth of
May after cutting the steel hawser of
the towboat Intrepid had story to
tell at Aberdeen on arrival which if
he was quoted correctly will make some
Honolulu people sit up and take notice.
1t was not known why the captain of
the sailing vessel cut the tugs hawser
here. From Aberdeen comes the story
as follows:
ABERDEEN, June 10. - Captain
Trainor of the barkentine Benicia,
which recently arrived from Honolulu
with kanaka crew, says that he had
literally to cut his way out of that port
when he left. The crew of the tug
engaged to tow the Benicia out of Ho-
nolulu did not like the idea of taking
crew of this character and the tug
whistled for the Benicia to throw off
the lines before she was ready Captain
Trainor believed he was not clear of
the port and refused to do so and the
tug was turned about with the idea, as
the captain thinks, of taking him back
to port. Captain Trainor cut the haw-
ser with an ak and started ON the voy
age. The Honolulu papers, which the
captain has received since coming up
here, call his action "vandal stroke -
COAL CARRIERS COMPETE.
The recent light cargoes of vessels
from San Francisco passing through
here for the Orient has been explained
by the statement that affairs CONNER
cially in China and Japan were very
quiet. The Tacoma Ledger of a recent
date gives reasons which explain the
light .cargoes of the San Francisco boats
as follows:
''The advent of a large number of
foreign steamers in Pacific coast waters
as result of the chartering by gov.
eminent for coal for the Atlantic fleet
has played havoc with the freight mar
ket. The normal rate for flour, wheat,
etc, over regular lines to the Orient
for the past several years has been in
the neighborhood of So, but competi-
ton enforced by these vessels, which
have been compelled to take whatever
rate they could get or leave in ballast
resulted in cuts step by step to $3.50,
then to So, then to $1.75, then to $1.40,
and recently one vessel accepted cargo
at the rate of 81 per ton to Hongkong
in sheer desperation.

Chairman McCuen Makes Statement
Greenville, September 3d.. 3.
McCuen, State chairman of the Inde-
pendence party, when seen tonight
said: cit is difficult for the general
public to realize the unrest prevail

country. Almost every Individual
you meet has some opinion on the is
sues Of the day not entirely in ac-
cord with the platform Of either of
the old parties, but he does not al
ways realize that his next. door neigh
Dor holds a similar opinion. The
average thinking man is disgusted
with the corruption and perfidity
proved to exist in both the Demo
cratic and Republican parties, and
he wants a change.
"The South is going to assent it.

is more manifest in the South today
than it ever has been in its history.
The people of the South have stuck
to tt Democratic party in years past,
and some of them are doing so today
because heredity and tradition. They
ave done so largely because they had
no direction in which to turn. They
could not turn to the Republican par

aware, and doubtless would not be-

party offers bulwark around which
such people can gather. It offers a

that is clean and clear. We are going
to make this party a power for good
in the State of South Carolina, and
we will be heard from in this cam

Says Last Letter was a Personal At
tack-Will Not Take Stump.


Washington, September 3O.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt will not reply to the
latest letter Of ". J. Bryan, given
out by him last night at Rock Island
Ill. Secretary Loeb stated today that
the president felt inasmuch as Mr.
Bryan's letter was simply an attack
upon him personally there was no rea'
son why he should answer it.
Secretary Loeb today also made the
statement that President Roosevelt
had no intention at present Of max
ing speaking tour in behalf Of the
Republican candidate for president
Many invitations had been received
by the president, Mr.. Loeb said, but
Mr.. Roosevelt never has stated that
he would take the stump. When ask.
ed whether if the situation took such
a turn that the president might con-
slider that making a speaking tour
would materially aid the Republican
cause, the president in that event
would take the stump, Mr.. Loeb re-
piled he might or might not do so,
and added that no one could tell what
the future would bring forth.

FOR INTERFERENCE
Says Americans Demand Right to
Choose Public Servants-Wen
Received in Michigan.

Kalamazoo, Mich, Sept. 29.-"The
people Of America will, in my judg-
ment, demand the right to choose
their servants free from official in
fluence and effort Of a president who
goes almost to the point Of violence
in insisting that he be allowed to
name his successor. -
John W. Kern, the Democratic vice
presidential candidate, before crowd
that filled the big Academy Of Music

ed the president s activity with that
shown by President Arthur in 1882
to bring about the nomination of jus

York, which activity, he declared,
was rebuked by the voters Of that
State in a most decisive manner.
The president, he said, from being
"pioneer in the civil service move

One Of our exchanges tells Of an
old German who had a boy Of whom
he was very proud, and decided to
find out the trend Of his mind. He
adopted novel method by which to
test him. He slipped into the boys
room one morning and placed on his
table a bottle Of whisky, Bible and
a silver dollar. ''Now,' said he,
"when dot boy comes in if he takes
dot dollar he's going to be beeznis
man; if he takes dot Bible he's going
to be, a preacher; if he takes dot
whiskey he's no good, and going to
be a drunkard. Then he hid be-
hind the door to see which his son
would choose. In came the boy
whistling. He ran up to the table,
picked up the Bible and put it under
his arm, then snatched up the bottle,
took two or three drinks, picked up
the dollar and put it in his pocket,
and went out smacking his lips. The
Dutchman poked his head out from
behind the door ard exclaimed:
"Mein Got, be is { to be poll-
tican.'

Last Sunday was one of those beautiful days that only Alaska can turn out. In company with Mayor O'Connor, Councilman 5tubbins and Undertaken Thomas, the News man clim bed to the site of the big dam that the Treadwell people are building near the head waters of Bullion creek. Two donkey engines and small army of men are making alterations on the face of nature in a manner that is almost startling. The great hemlock trees are chopped down and stripped of their bark. Then a wire cable is attached to one end, the donkey en- zine begins to splutter and puff, and slowly the big log begins to move for ward toward the top of the hill, uproot- ing shrubs and small trees and leaving furrow like a huge blow. What would otherwise be an almost impossi- ble task is accomplished by this lit tile steam engine with apparent ease. The preliminary work having been got through with, the dam is building rapidly. The area of the reservoir will be about 26 acres, at an altitude of 1000 feet above the level of the sea. When the dozens of little streams that come crashing down the steep sides of the mountains from the everlasting snow banks have filled the reservoir, it will furnish 200 miners inches or 300 gallons per minute, for 40 days. This is one of the big little things that is being done on Douglas Island, and, although the climb presents some difficulties, it is worth the effort to see | it.

The preaching service at the Congre- gational church last Sunday evening drew a large crowd. In fact very few remember time when there were more people iu the building at one time. This is an indication of what might be the reception given a resi-. dent preacher of ability. It would be good proposition from a business standpoint.
