three mile limit at ST. Paul island. The
seized vessel, whose capture has been
previously reported. was at Dutch har-
Dor.
The Thomas F. Bayard of the Victoria

Coast Steamship Company
in Lively Clash
Fare From San Francisco to Los
Angeles Lowered to Point
Never Before Reached

With the appearance of the SchuDacn-
Hamilton steamship company in San
francisco there has developed lively
rate war between it and the PACING
Coast steamship company, and passen-
ger rates between this point and Los
Angeles will. this morning. be lowered
to a figure never before attempted In
shipping circles.
The Schubach- Hamilton company Is
a Seattle concern, but seeing good
field in San Francisco took up head
quarters here, bringing for the Los
Angeles run the steamer st. Croix. They
opened business here last Saturday and
the fight started almost Immediately.
The rate of the Pacific Coast steam
ship company between San Francisco
and Los Angeles before the ARRIVAL OF
the new company was $11.35. This rate
was accepted by the Schubach- Hamilton
company. but the Pacific Coast steam
ship company made a cut of 81, bring
ing it down to 1885. Seeing the move
of the Pacific Coast steamship company
the newcomers entered into the war
with zest and today made the rate to
1lOS <AHSSftS $O.00 lOE III ST LASS, Yo'OS
for intermediate and $4.35 for the steer
age. The round trip first class they
cut to $11.50 and the intermediate class
to $3.50
Il can not say whether we will meet
this rate or not said George II. Hlg-
bee, manager of the Pacific Coast
steamship company. I'VE will protecf
ourselves, and that is as much as l can
say
A. Schubach. speaking for his firm
said: I'VE came here to do business
and found ourselves in cutthroat
game. We are not looking for trouble,
but we are in the game to stay. Our
original plan was to make our sailing
dates separate from those of the Pacific
Coast steamship company, so as not to
conflict with them. However, they not
only cut rates but doubled their service.
so we changed our dates to compete
with their best boats and cut our rates
down."

"The head of the Roman Catholic
church In America Is man for whom

He has painted divorce as monster
licensed by the laws of Christian states
to break hearts, wreck homes, and ruin
souls This is certainly a grewsome
picture. No system of laws adopted by
the idealist 1900 years ago and taught
by the following of pious and con-
scientious enthusiasts can maintain It's
authority forever, however exalted its

ing OF the people. 1t is not proved
why a partnership created by marriage
should so far differ from CONNER
cial partnership that one may be dis
solved at pleasure while the other Is
absolutely indissoluble. Proper regard
for the interests of the state. as well
as the preservation OF domestic happi-
ness, would seem to require that when
the whole obligation of matrimonial
pact has been defeated by habitual,
persistent and uncomfortable conduct
of either party, that relation which
should represent the acme Of human
happiness is made to stand for all
that Is most repugnant to our desires
and anticipations and severance of tic
