SEVEN BOATS TO GO.
ON NEW PANAMA RUN

Seattle. Oct. 15.-H. s. Bates. head
OF the firm of Bates & Cheseborough
OF San Francisco, while in Seattle an.
nounced the intention Of his company
70 charter seven steamships for the
Seattle, San Francisco and Panama
run, instead of three, as previously
announced.
In the first plans of the new line be-
tween Atlantic and Pacific coast ports
via the government railroad on the
lsthmus Of Panama there were to be
three vessels on the Atlantic side and
three on the Pacific SIDE Already five
vessels have been chartered on the Pa
cific coast, and it is planned to char
ter two more. Mr.. Bates refused to
state exactly how many ships would be
employed on the Atlantic side, but it
Will be more than the original three,
although not as many as on the Pacific
coast.
Three of the vessels chartered on
the Pacific coast will run only as far
north as San Francisco, while four will
run into Seattle. With these four
steamships it is planned to maintain
fourteen-day schedule, in order to
compete with the fine service of the
Hawaiian-American line, which main
tains a bi-monthly schedule via the
Tehuantepec railroad.
Thursday marked the opening of
the new service, when the steamship
Mackinaw, the biggest of the fleet
sailed for Panama with a cargo of
nearly 10000 cases of salmon. But
the regular sailings every fourteen
days will not be in force until the first
of the year, as the company has only
five vessels instead of the seven re-
quired to maintain the schedule.

FLAMES BELCH FROM
CRATER AT BOGOSLOV

Seward, Alaska, Oct. 15.-The fam
Gus volcano Bogoslov, in the Aleu-
tian Islands, is in more violent erup-
ton than ever before, according to a
report brought from the west by the
revenue cutter Tahoma, which arrived
yesterday.
Smoke and ashes are rising a mile
and a half above the crater, according
to triangulations made by the Taho-
mas officers. Flames burst from the
cone, lava is flowing down the sides,
and huge boulders are thrown high
into the air.
A lake in the center of one of the
Bogoslov Islands is boiling, and dense
clouds of steam rise from the caldron.
The island was formerly rendezvous
for uncounted thousands of sea birds,
all of which probably we're killed. Not
live bird was visible from the Ia
homa, but great numbers of dead ones
floated in the sea.
The Tahoma anchored ten miles
from the volcano, not daring to APP
proach nearer, the cutters decks be-
ing covered with hot ashes even where
she lay. The officers spent whole
day in viewing the magnificent spec
tacle of the troubled mountain, and
in making photographs.
While bound to Attu Island early in
September the Tahoma's officers noted
recent and remarkable changes in the
topography of the Bogoslov group, a
new island having lifted its head
where deep water formerly had been,
and other islands having diminished.
A party of volunteers under Lieu
tenant r. r. Waesche asked to be per-
mitted to land on the islands and
make observations until the cutters
southwark trip in October, but Chief
Engineer Bryan, who knows the freaks
of Bogoslov, warned the men of the
peril of their undertaking, and the
proposed expedition was abandoned.
If the explorers had remained on the
islands they must have perished, Tor
when the Tahoma returned the chlef
peak was ablaze and the other islands
in commotion.

EPISCOPAL CONVENTION
TAKES UP LABOR MATTERS

Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 15.-The house
of deputies of the Protestant Episcopal
convention took action on worlds
conference of churches Of the Chris
ton. faith yesterday.
It appointed a committee of seven
clergymen and seven laymen to meet
with committee Of seven bishops and
bring in a report at this session re-
garding the advisability Of holding
worlds convention.
The house of bishops decided that It
would be inexpedient at this time to
bring before the convention the mat
ter of changing the laws Of the church
regarding marriage and divorce.
The question OF changing the name
of the church from the Protestant
Episcopal church Of the United States
of America to the Episcopal church Of
the United States of America was dis
cussed by the deputies, but no action
was taken.
"The menace OF the idle poor, who
must work, but wish to be idle, is no
greater than the menace Of the idle
rich, who give themselves up to pleas
ures with no thought of work"
This is one of the expressions in the
report of the joint committee on the
relations of capital and. labor, sub
mitted to the convention by Rev. Ed
ward L. Parsons, rector of st. Marks
church, Berkeley, Cal.
Reduce Labor Hours.
Specific recommendations in the re-
port included the gradual reduction of
the hours of labor in order to give
that degree of leisure that is neces-
sary for proper social life; one day Of
rest in seven for all who labor, and
a living wage as the minimum in all
branches of industry.
"The church cannot ally itself with
either capital or labor" said the re-
port. ut must be the church Of all
men. But it must throw its influence
on the side Of human rights. The first
care OF Christianity must emphatically
be men, not profits"

STATE TREASURER LEWIS
FILES ANNUAL REPORT

Olympia, Oct. 15.-The report OF
State Treasurer John G. Lewis, for
the two years ending September 80,
1910, has been completed and is In the
hands of the printer and has been
checked and found accurate to the
penny by the state bureau OF inspec-
ton and supervision of public offices
and by an expert of the company
which furnishes the treasurer's ON
cial bond.
The report covers much data not
heretofore appearing in the report OF
a state treasurer, and also includes
several recommendation for legisla-
tive action. Mr.. Lewis suggests that
the present plan of fifteen separate
district horticultural funds be aboi-
ished and that the payments be
handled through the state general
fund
Wants Law Changed.
Instead of having state $25 liquor
licenses issued for year from the
date the saloon started business, as
now the law, the treasurer urges that
the law be changed so that all will be
for the calendar year beginning Jam
uary 1, that existing licenses be paid
up pro rata to that date and that the
collections be made and licenses Is
sued by the tax commission, instead
OF through his Office.
A feature OF the report is the show
ing that the state general fund debt,
which was $S73,59S September 80,
1906, and was 1867, SIG two years ago,
has been reduced to $472,1 1913. This
debt means the balance after sub
tracing cash on hand from the az
gregate of outstanding general fund
warrants. bonds and interest thereon
normal bonds and interest. It makes
no account Of the debt Of the capitol
building fund nor Of the A.-Y.-P. expo
sition, both OF which, while interest
is guaranteed by the state genera
fund, are debts against lands specially
set aside to meet the obligations

PRESIDENT TO AGAIN
VISIT PANAMA
COLONEL COCKTAILS coNvlNcEs
HIM THAT CANAL PROBLEMS
NEED ATTENTION
Starts November 10 and Will BE Gone
Twenty Days-Fixing Of Tolls, Man.
agement Of Railroad and Regulation
Of Coal Sales to BE Considered

Beverly, Mass, Oct. 15.-President
Taft will sail for the Isthmus of Pan.
anna November 10 from Charleston,
s. c., on the cruiser North Carolina,
conveyed by her sister ship, the Mon
tana. The president will be gone
about twelve days, spending about
four days on the isthmus.
The president had practically given
up all idea of visiting the canal this
year until Colonel Goethals, chief en-
gineer. called upon him yesterday. Al
the end of the visit Mr.. Taft had been
convinced that the problems con
fronting the officials of Panama re
quire his presence.
Some of the problems to be dealt
with in the immediate future are:
The extent and character of the
Notifications, the fixing of tolls, a
proposed increase in wages, the fu-
ture management of the Panama rail
road, the form of permanent govern
ment of the canal zone and the regu-
lation of the sale of coal
May Enter Coal Business.
The government may go into the
business of selling coal itself in or
der to prevent the possibility of ex-
tortion or monopoly.
Mr.. Taft had thought that several
of these questions would not require
settlement for year or more, but
Colonel Goethals put matters in a diff
NF %011
which it was thought could wait un-
til the canal is much nearer compile
ten, was explained by Colonel Goeth-
ais to be one of the most pressing
for congress to meet. An information
al conference of steamship owners
and shipping interests is to be held in
Berlin in the summer of 1911. It is
believed to be highly important that
congress should have fixed the rates
of toll by that time. The canal must
be made to attract shipping and at
the same time an effort will be made
to have the toll charges meet the in
terest on the $4O0,0O0,O0O investment
which the canal will represent.
Date Set for Opening.
The date for opening the Panama
canal has been set for January IL,
1915. President Taft and Colonel
Goethals believe it will be completed
and open long before that time.
The proposed early opening OF the
canal is already having an effect upon
shipping interests, especially in the
Pacific, and inquiries are coming in
as to the estimated rates OF tolls.
President Taft was informed that one
line supplying the Hawaiian trade
would have forty-five ships in COM
mission by the time the canal Is OPP
ened. This line now has its freight
transferred across Mexico by rail- II
the rates Of toll through the canal
will make the cost of shipping less,
the company will use the waterway,
otherwise it will continue its present
method.

MANUEL GLAD TO LAY
DOWN CARES OF THRONE

LISBON, Oct. 15.-Captain Desa. who
commanded the royal yacht Amelie on
the voyage to Gibraltar, says that dur.
ing the night King Manuel discussed
the situation frankly with his uncle.
the duke of Oporto. He expressed a
certain feeling of satisfaction and de-
clared he was utterly weary of the
burden Of the crown and Disguised
with the army of sycophants and place
hunters around him. He even ex-
pressed admiration for some of the re.
publican leaders for their courage and
energy, whereas the opposing sections
OF monarchists had shown neither res
olution nor ordinary pluck.
Captain Desa believes the king bit
terly felt his complete desertion in his
hour OF trial, not a single minister
having tried to see him or inform him
OF the course of events. The mem
bers of the cabinet all fed or went into
hiding except the premier, who was
confined to his residence by an injured
foot.
Amnesty Granted.
The government has issued decree
granting amnesty to all military and
naval offenders.
The huge iron safes containing the
treasure of Quelhas convent, which re-
verts to the government, have been
placed in the Bank of Portugal. A
commission composed of officials of
the ministry of finance has been ap-
pointed to make an inventory of the
royal palaces and decide what prop
erty belongs to the king personally
This commission will also investigate
the outstanding debts of the royal
family.
Jose Relvas, the new minister Of
finance, in an interview, said that one
of the first acts of the government
would be to impose obligatory secular
education. At the same time the
republicans would fully recognize lib
erty of conscience, he declared, and
did not desire to destroy religious sent
iment, but only would obligate the
priests to confine themselves to spir-
itual matters.

AN effort will be made to have the date
for next years primaries for some time
in September. Those who have become
tired of continual round ofpolitics from
one year to another and between times,
and who has not? this new order of
things will be most welcome. Two
months of campaigning is plenty enough
politics for one year, but with the candi-
dates announcing their candidacy early in
December, as has been the custom for
several years past, and the primaries in
June one does not have even breathing
spell between one election and the next
too much of good thing, to say the
least, Next November not only every
county officer will be voted for, but all
borough and township offices will be fill
ed, and with the primaries in June it
would mean the bug house for many q
citizen of the best intentions long before
November got around again. Under the
circumstances, September is plenty early
enough to plunge into the political fray
again. A candidate who cannot do all the
campaigning in two months that is ab-
solutely necessary, ought to be left at
home to gather the following winters
