SURGEON GOT

The Captain of the Manchuria
Knocks Out the

Captain Saunders, commander, and
DR.. Lewis, surgeon, of the Pacific Mail
steamship Manchuria, settled a diff
Guilty with their fists while in Oriental
waters, and had it out on the upper
deck. just what was the cause of
the difficulty is uncertain, and few
persons aboard the Manchuria yester-
day had much to say. 1t appears,
however, that the commander had the
best of it. AS far as could be learned
the differences arose over shore leave
of the surgeon. It is said the surgeon,
on arrival at San Francisco, may lose
his position. The Shanghai Sun had
the following story of the affair,
which reads something like Jack Lon

"During the call of the S. S. Man

place which interrupted the usual mo-
notony of the voyage and considerably

the passengers. Both the participants
in the affair are gentlemen of high
professional standing and are we'll

con the afternoon of December 2,

numerous ehutes to fill the huge bunk

shelter deck, which attracted the at
tention of a number of passengers in
the immediate vicinity. Captain
Saunders was seen in the act of vent
ing his spleen in a vicious attack of
verbiage upon DR.. Lewis, the ship s
surgeon. What occasioned the We

clipper ship style, settled the contro-

softly undulating in the fresh breeze,
were noticed to change to tufts like

a trifle too high, as it caught pill IS

STAyTON CASE
A STRANGE
ONE
Various Theories Why
That Official Went
Astray.

John 7. Stayton, assistant postmaster
of Honolulu, waived examination before
United States Commissioner Kingsbury
yesterday morning and bail was set at
$1,000. An investigation of Mr.. Stay.

made. The inspector has not opened

ton on the steamship Manchuria, is in
complete and will be held up for a
while.
"The information of wrongdoing on
the part of Mr.. Stayton was not only
a surprise to me, but something of a
shock said Postmaster Pratt yester-
day. 81 had regarded him as a very
competent man in the position he holds,
and I must say that I still regard him
as competent. When he first went into
that office he worked hard and well.
For the past year 1 did not think he
was quite up to the mark he had set
for himself. He seemed to be rather
poor in health and it was at my sugges-
ton that he went to the Coast to see
his family. He has lost flesh and weighs

145 pounds, wnen formerly he weighed
$50 pounds.

upon Mr.. Stayton."
Mr.. Stayton furnished bond of $15,-
600, the amount required by the post
office department, and this was furnish
ed through the Henry Waterhouse Trust
Company. There is a story to the effect
that Mr.. Stayton was short in his ac-
counts. The bond of the trust com.

found due the government, but his
friends do not believe there will be
any.

PRESIDENTS NEPHEW
SPEAKS Of UNCLE

Congress ought to have known
that the President really had proofs
to present, if he said he had, in this
Secret Service matter, and now they
have found out that he really did have
them.
So said H. L. Roosevelt, nephew of
President Roosevelt, yesterday after
noon just before the Manchuria sail
ed for San Francisco. The President s
nephew is quite a young man and a
very tall one, rising about six feet
four inches. He has been in Japan
with his aunt, Mrs. Kean, and is now
returning East. He expects to be in
Washington on March 4, when his
esteemed uncle steps down and out of
the President s chair.

Economic Move of Railroads.

A novel move has been made by
railroads in New England in the trans.
portation of the potato crop from
Maine to the west. The refrigerator
cars which reach Boston with beef
are not returned empty now, but are
sent to Maine, where they are loaded
with potatoes. A new plan of heat
ing the cars is used so that the prod
ucts reach their destination without
any Ill effects Of the weather. Instead
of stoves and men to handle the fires
while the cars are travelling, the cars
are now heated with charcoal fire
shortly after being loaded. When a
certain temperature is reached the
fire is removed and the cars are closed
and sealed, retaining the heat to the
end of their journey.

MACHINE THAT BLOWS GLASS
American Engineer Said to Have In.
vented Really Practical Labor
Saving Device.

Common, ordinary window glass is
one of the few industrial products of
which the method of making has prac-
tically remained stationary.
From time to time attempts have
been made to use mechanical! appara.
tus for blowing the glass, but the re-
suits have been unsatisfactory and the
old method has persisted.
The workman blows cylinder of
glass, which is then split open length.
wise and carried to a furnace, where
it opens out under the influence of the
heat. A slow process, consequently
expensive, and above all injurious to
the health of the blowers.
Now an American engineer has Just
invented simple machine for which,
when certain difficulties are overcome,
great success is hoped The glass is
made like paper, then sheet of the
paste is drawn vertically from the tub,
and this horizontal cylinder carries
oFCI oil ldulc, IuSu HUI dill dIl-
healing furnace, from which comes
forth an uninterrupted band of glass,
that can be cut off in desired lengths.
One of the greatest difficulties in
this method is to prevent the glass
paste from growing thinner by it's own
weight as it is drawn from the tub.
This problem has been solved by plac-
ing in the tub two balls that rotate
rapidly from the bottom to the top,
which has the effect of continually
drawing masses of glass towards the
top, thus counteracting the tendency
to string down and contract.
With this new method single fur.
mace can produce IL tons of glass
every "a hours, and all its service re-
quires is Waterman, cutter and two
boys to take away the panes.
BY the present method of blowing,
it would take "a men to produce the
same result.
