With the arrival Of the MatsOn Nav.l
igutiOu liner Wilhclmina from thcI
Coast this morning comes the interest.
ing information that the United States
authorities have taken a keen interest
In the liicsaving equipment installed
In The trans-PaCitiC steamers.
Now comes word that the executive
committee of the Board of United.
States Supervising Inspectors of the
steamboat Inspection Service has
adopted amendments to the rules and
regulations providing that every ocean
going vessel carrying passengers shall
be- provided with sufficient lifeboats
to accommodate every person on
board, including the crew.
II Is claimed that there Is little
ground for complaint concerning the
number OF boats and life RATS on Mat.
son and Oceanic steamships
Heretofore lfcbOats were required
on such vessels in accordance with.
their tonnage. Thus vessel of the
tonnage of the Titanic. 10000 and Ov.
cr, would be required, il under United
States shipping laws. to have lifebOats
sufficient for 2iUo persons. more peo..
pie than we're on board that vessel.
But i'm vessels Of smaller tonnage and
carry ng passengers mp to their full
capacity the tonnage requirement
would not be sufficient to provide life.
boats for all on board when the vessel
was carrying her full complement. In
order to make the matter palmer, and
to avoid leaving any lOOphOles for eva.
sion. the supervising inspectors now
require that all Ocean.going passenger
Vessels shall no longer be lifeboated
according to the tonnage, but accord.
ing to the total number Of passengers
and crew actually on board.
This regulation goes into effect i'm
modiately, and Supervising Inspector
Bulger gave orders to the clerks in
his Office to notify all the OCean.going
vessels on the Pacific Coast of the
United States to install the requisite
number of lifebOats, on pain of being
refused clearance from the port.
Captain Peter Johnson brought his
command alongside Alakea wharf ear

Orcd minstrel troupe which Is to open

thoaters. The minstrel men and maids
are in themselves "A brass band or.
ohestra and a general bunch Of merry.
makers. They ably assisted in Sc
rics Of entertainments held on board

On the forward deck Of the Wilh"l-
nina were many tons structural steel
for transfer to Pearl HarbOr. Thirty
crates imported chickens arrived in
good condition.
Among The cabin passengers were
tour bridal couples, which simply goes
to show that the Wilhclmina has lost
rome Of its famed reputation as the
popular transport of those who have
sacrificed themselves on the altar of
| Hymen.
The vessel met with fine weather on

Mail to the amount u 1851 sacks was

FOURTEEN BALLS
CONSTITUTE FRAME
IN CHAMPIONSHIPS
Full Pyramid Done Away
With According to
Amendment.

Professional pocket billiards, as It will
be played In the tournament for the
national championship. to De held in
Horticultural Hall, Philadelphia, from
March 20 10 April 6, inclusive, will pre-
sent new departure from what was
heretofore designated continuous pool.
Excepting on what will probably be
rare occasions after the opening stroke
of each contest, there will be no break
ing of frames from inside che string
Furthermore. there will be no more full
pyramids OF fifteen balls. The Bruns-
wick ke-Collender Company, pro-
moters of the event, have decided to
adopt for 1t the scheme of ending opera
tions on each frame when fourteen balls
have been pOcketed. rhis decision was
reached after a series of experimental
tests of the possibilities of the innova-
ton.
The playing rules formerly governing
continuous pool will apply in contests
for the new championship in all cases
where they do not conflict with amend
ments designed to define and regulate
the style of game to be played and to
make more explicit the definition of
fouls, together with the procedure to
be followed when they happen. These
amendments are as follows:
Only fourteen balls are TO lie pocketed
in the rnrst frame, after which these
fourteen balls are to be replaced on
the table in triangular form as at the
beginning of the game. without inter-
fering with the fifteenth (uupocketed)
ball nor The cue ball. both of which
must remain in the positions occupied
after the fourteenth ball was pocketed
The player then continues his run. This
same procedure Is followed in each sue
Ceeding frame.
Should either the cue ball or object
| ball left on the table interfere with the
| spotting of the fourteen balls in trian-
gular form. the ball thus Interfering
must be placed on the spot at the OPP
posite end of the table.
| Should both balls Interfere ar the same
time. the fifteen balls are then spotted
| on the table as at the commencement
Of the game, and the player must pla :

showing what priced seats are on sale
within. This will render almost un-

fans for so long. The scheme has
cago, and is about TO be tried in De-
troit, New York. and Boston.
At the close of the game all thcce
wire screens will be lifted up into the
air, thus enabling the largest crowds to
leave the park within very few mill
utes. There will be no little gates for
them to file through In single file, as
was the style in former years.

the ticket booths are ready for business,

The Value of Talent.

Human flesh when cast in the mold Of star ball
player is worth trhe than its weight in golden
bullion-with the accent off the first syllable 1t is
worth, matter Of considerable fact good bit more
than it brings in open market.
How much does figure Mathewson is worth to
the Giants financial personality? Or Cobb to the
Tigers? Or Wagner to Pittsburgh? Or Ed Walsh to
Chicago? Or Walter johnson to Washington?
If Cobb, Mathewson, and Wagner not worth
100000 each. they not worth kopeck or
yen. But If any ball club attempted to pay star his
due, the resultant from good many athletes upon
the club would shake off the roof Or at least this
is alibi which club willing to present
