his brother, with whom he is in part
nership, is known in the South Pacific
as the king of Tanning island. Greig,
who is on the schooners articles as
steward, came to San Francisco to see
the Portola festival. His last visit
here was made 10 years ago.
Greigs brother has gone out of the
KING business. According to James
they recently sold their interest in Fan
ming and Washington islands to Father
f. Rougie of Suva, who is the 0uar-
dian OF rich young Frenchman. 1t is
MS wards intention to form a company
10 handle the products of Christmas
Palmyra, Tanning and Washington ISL
ands. The Greigs received $25O,O00 for
their holdings.
The II. c. Wright, which was 80 days
coming from Tanning island, brought
1S5 tons of copra.
About so miles off this coast a giant
turtle was seen swimming toward the
California coast. The turtle was about
u feet in length and feet across the
back and was the biggest, Greig said
that he ever saw.
Shortly before the Wright left Fan
ming island two natives, good swim
mers, rowed a few hundred feet off
shore for the purpose of fishing A
few hours later the empty canoe drifted
ashore. What became of the natives
is a mystery, as, although there are
sharks in those waters. they have never
been known to attack q man. The dis
appearance of the fishermen caused a
small panic among the natives ashore.
SHIPS BOATS ARE PICKED UP

one boat and q portion of another boat belonging

earnings. based on the cases of several
thousand persons who sought relief in this

BY the bureau OF labor.
Sickness. lack of employment, insuffi-
cient wages, accident and old age consti-
tuted "a per cent of the direct causes OF
appeal for help. the three first named
causes, in the order given being the causes
OF the most appeals.
The figures reveal the fact that in the
1888 families studied consisting OF 4.3s5
persons. the average size OF the families
was 81 persons, as against 40 persons for
all families I'm Washington.
The number of children was 500 per cent
OF the charity population as compared with
las per cent for the total population OF the
city. Delinduencaes were reported in one
third OF the families, nearly one-third Of
these delinquencies being intemperances.

ing the United States circuit court of this
district, will hear arguments in the inn
portant cases In which the United States
government seeks the dissolution of the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey. in
volving an Interpretation OF many of the
phases of the Sherman act.
The arguments In behalf of tho govern
ment will be made by Frank b. kellogg of
st. Paul and former United States Attorney

be represented by John G. Milburn Of New
York. Moritz RESIDENTIAL and John g. Miller
of Chicago. David t. Watson of Pittsburg
and John c. Johnson of Philadelphia.
Seldom has such mass OF evidence been
compiled in single case. The record. in
cluding the exhibits already exceeds 7,oOO,-
900 words. all taken by one stenographer,
Robert S. Taylor of st. Paul Printed, the
evidence is more voluminous by several
volumes than a set of the Encyclopedias

mony was taken in New York City, John
d. Rockefeller and John d. Archbold hav-
ing been among the many notable witnesses
called to the stand.
So large is the record that even a perllsal
of its digest by the court Is impossible and
much will depend on the summaries pre-
sented by the attorneys Of the respective
sides
IL is expected the court will grant each
side about five days for final argument.
which far exceeds the usual time allowed.
