Distressed Bark Rides at Anchor
The American barkentine James
Johnson from Newcastle, N S. w,
with two thousand tons coal consigp-
ed to San Francisco, which put in Ho-
nolulu in distress, still rides at an
chor outside the farbor.

Captain Jensen, master of the vessel
came ashore this morning and began
negotiations toward relief from the
present distressed conditions prevail
ing on board the barkentine.
1t is understood that the vessel is
making water owing to the opening of
number of seams during time
that the James Johnson labored un-
der a trying battle with adverse gales
and rough seas.
The ship is in need of some re-
pairs. AS it is the crew is kent more
Or less constantly employed at the
pumps. The bottom is very foul thus
preventing anything like good time
being made in a passage to the coast.
The vessel has been anchored out
side the entrance to the channel with
the idea of preventing the crew from
attempting to leave the ship. AS it
IS the crew is short handed.

Mysterious Stranger May Have Been
Damara.
The mysterious tramp like freight
or that steamed at considerable dis
tance from the lookout station at
Diamond Head and whose outline
could barely be made out, is now be-
lieVed to have been the British cargo
steamer Damara,. cnroute to Austria
liam ports with between four and five
million feet Of lumber taken on at
Puget Sound ports. The vessel pass
ed within range of strong glasses
yesterday morning bound south. She
flew no signals but those who caught
fleeting glimpse OF the steamer give
as their opinion that she must have
been the now famotV British steam
ship over whief mp1h notoriety has
existed along the coast. The Da-
mara Immediately following her going
ashore Off Fort Point last October had
been considered as a possibility for
the Matson line. In fact the vessel
was purchased by Captain Matson,
but sold on speculation. Captain Me-
Lehman, now master of the vessel
created considerable storm in coast
shipping circles because it is alleged
that he sent all the way to Hong
kong for crew of thirty-five Chi
nese sailors and fremen. The vessel
is now under charter to the American
Trading Company.
1t is explained that the officers fear
that the white crew would go on a.
strike on the arrival of the vessel in
Australia, and that they would be left
without crew.
The men who were discharged from
the Damara said that the action
of the officers is a prelude to an in
ternallonal strike of sailors, which
viii start at Liverpool. They say
that higher wages will be demanded
by deep-water sailors, and the COM
plete exclusion of Chinese.

PHYSICIANS AND FEES.
A Medical View Of the Doctors Charge

Those who discuss the physicians

As a matter of fact. under present
social conditions the charge made to

NAL aud proper fee: the lowered
charges made to rthose less fortunate
are concessions. The tremendous field
of the physicians charity is therefore

In oldcn times, when medicine was

the fee was unknown. Like other art

The popullr impression that physl'
clans make the rich pay for the poor Is
incorrect They extend their services to
all alike, and all are supposed to pay as
much as they can afford for services
really priceless and impossible to rep
resent adequately In money values.
ANY attempt made to establish stand
ard fees by law Is sure to work In
Justice to the physician. The stand
ard" fee would have to be much high

there would have to be some method
of enforcing its sure payment. only
