Up 10 Lighthouse Man.

The acceptance of the recently
dredged harbor from the contractors
by the army engineer now brings the
harhor within the jurisdiction of the
naval lighthouse inspector as to plac-
ing or removing buoys. There is one
buoy in the harbor directly over the
locality Of the old Lighthouse island
which has been removed by the CON
tractors, and that locality is now
free waterway, giving an increased
area in which to maneuver large
steamers. and it also gives a short cut
to the Eva end of the harbor. 1t is
likely that the big buoy viii be re-
moved in short time, and when it
goes it viii be pleasing news to
mariners.

WHAT COUNT OKUMA TOLD
OPIUM REFORNER TIMING

Japan Chronicle--On Saturday last,
the 5th instant, the Rev. E. W. Thwing,
of the International Reform Bureau,
who is now on his way to attend the
International Opium Conference at
Shanghai, had an interview in Toxic
with Count Okuma. Count Okuma said:
cit is pleasure to meet you and to
know of your great interest in many
reforms You speak of Japan being a
leading nation in reform, and of our
good laws against opium. I would say
that we remember that America has
given us great aid in many of these
lines of progress. When our first laws
in regard to opium were being consid-
cred we received much good advice
from your statesmen. The principles
and high ideals of America have been
of much aid to our people. We owe
much to your nation, and now rejoice
in the good understanding and cordial
relations between the peoples of Japan
and the United States. The recently
published agreement between our coun-
tries is the source of much satisfaction.
The March of World Civilization
"The progress of civilization, en-
Iightenment, and new ideas, seems to
continue around the world. Much of
the early civilization started from Asia,
to enrich Greece and Rome. Europe in
turn received from these sources the
basis of modern learning, which has
continued to increase in America. We
have gladly received in our turn from
the results of your progress and will
gladly pass along what we have receiv-
ed to help again the progress and pros
peritv of Asia The world nations are |
becoming nearer to one another now |
in the march of modern invention, until |
there will be no East or West and no |
great race differences. As we know
each other better we find there is not
20 great a difference after all, and we
as kindred men are coming TO realize
he true brotherhood of all people.

More About Oceanics.

SAN FRANCISCO, December IS
For several days past commission
composed of three army officers con-
nected with the transport service has
been engaged in the examination of
the three Oceanic Steamship Company
liners, Sierra, Sonoma aAd Ventura,
formerly on the Australian run. The
members Of the commission are Col.
]. B. Bellinger, general superintendent
of the transport service; Chief En-
gineer John Donnelly of the service,
and Capt. Scott. They admit that
they are preparing report on the
condition of the vessels, which short
ly viii be forwarded to Washington.
In view of the fact that the entire
Pacific Coast has been clamoring for
years past for a government owned
line connecting this coast with Pa
mama, the examination of the Oceanic
company 5 liners is thought to be sig
nifcant of the intention of the gov
eminent TO start such a line. Col. Bel
linger states that he is ignorant of the
government s purpose in ordering the
examination

Victim Of Aeon Wreck.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 49,
Miss Sarah Campbell, trained nurse,
who was en- board the freight steam
err Aeon when the ship was wrecked on
Christmas Island last July, returned to
her home in this city yesterday on the
Alameda. Miss Campbell tells a
graphic story of the wreck and the
stay of the ffty-three survivors on a
barren rock of the Pacific for ten
weeks. She declared that Captain
Downie of the illfated ship risked his
life TO aid his passengers and crew.
The captain made two attempts before
he reached the cable station on Fan
ming Island in an effort to obtain as
sistance for the costaways.
Miss Campbell s hair, which was
brown without trace of gray when
she sailed on the Aeon, is now almost
white as result of the privations and
nerve-strain endured on the island. 1t
was Miss Campbell who carried "a
hour-old baby through the surf to the
boats which came to the rescue of the

Opium Campaign in China.

81 believe China can accomplish the
prohibition Of opium, Her government
is sincere in the fight against the drug.
She must stop the revenue from opium
and secure it from other sources. Much
of that revenue is lost before it gets to
the government. China must prohibit
the Importation of opium, and the plant
ing except for medicine under COVER.
ment monopoly. It is great task be-
fore her, but China will succeed. All
nations should aid her. TIE large grow
ing of opium in Szechuen ald other
provinces has caused much loss to the
opium trade from India That trade
is being reduced, but now is an excel
lent time for England to entirely Sop
opium production in India, and the
trade to China England can do it and
thus get a good name Many of the
people Of Great Britain feel the shame
of that war when opium was forced ON
China Now is the time to aid China
by stopping all opium from India to
China.
81 think the Opium Conference may
result in much good. Care must be
taken not to interfere with China s own
internal affairs. The work must be done
in a tactful way. China has her own
internal problems to work out, but other
nations can help in the suppression of
the opium traffic.

international Reform Bureau, last year.

subjects. and shall be very glad to have
lim publish them It will be a pleas
Ire to receive other letters from YOU
N these subjects, and I wish you every
uccess in your work of reform for the

his hand mechanically and steadily

LlNcoLN's JOKE.
Fixing the Responsibility For the Le,s
OF Harpers Ferry.

Fixing the Responsibility For the Le,s
OF Harpers Ferry.
President Lincoln's Jokes. especially
when perpetrated in connection with
grave matters, usually had purpose
In them. After Lee had taken Har
pers Ferry the president, realizing how
great a calamity Il was to the north
ern arms, determined II possible to fix
the responsibility for the loss of the
important position.
Halleck was summoned, but did not
know where the blame lay. VERY
WELL" said Lincoln. "I'll ask General
Schenck." The latter could throw no
light upon the question, further than
to say that he was not to blame. Mil
roy was the next to lie called to the
presence of the commander in chief
and to enter plea of mot guilty"
Hooker was next given hearing. and
Fighting Joe made a very emphatic
disclaimer of all responsibility.
Then the president assembled the
four generals in his room and said to
them: "Gentlemen, Harpers Ferry was
surrendered and none of you. it seems.
is responsible. am very anxious to
discover the man who is" After strid-
ing across the room several times the
president suddenly threw up his bow
ed head and exclaimed: II have it! |
know who is responsibIew
''Who. Mr.. President; who is it?''
asked the distinguished quartet as they
looked anxious. if not troubled.
Gentlemen" said the president,
with meaning twinkle in his eye
General Lee is the man"
There was a lack of mirth In the
laugh created, and the four generals
took their departure with determine
tion that they would not again be
placed under suspicion.
