AMERICAN AUTO
FORAUSTRALIA

The American automobile is figured
rather eonspicuously in the big cargo
carried through 10 the Antipodesz in
the Oceanic liner Sonoma, that is to
day being discharged o fgeneral mer
chandise and taking on additional fuel
oil at Honolulu .@ :.
Motor cars is large numbers are
being exported to the. Colonies and
the Oceanic line is securing a goodly
shar eof the business. The Sonoms
steamed down from San Francisco
without incident. Captain Trask. re
ported good weather for the most OF
the way. The vessel sailed from the
Coast with distinguished as well as
lively crowd of passengers.
The presence of number of the
atrical stars, assisted greatly in get
ting up series of entertainments
The concert given on board last night
is pronounced a signal success.
Despite strong gales and heavy
seas, Captain Trask found no diff
Guilty in gaining the quarantine
anchorage an schedule time this
morning. The popular Sonoma was
alongside her wharf by eight-thirty.
Forty cabin, and seve nsteerage pas
sengers left the vessel at this port.
The list of through passengers is
much In excess of the number hereto
fore carried In vessels operated by
this company. In transit for Sydney
are SO cabin, "a second class and 8
steerage passengers. The liner ar
rived this morning with a total of
125 travellers.
Eight hundred tons cargo is to be
discharged during the stay of the
Sonoma. The. vessel is to be shifted
to the railwa wharf late this after
noon, where fuel oil will be supplied
the vessel. The Sonoma Is scheduled
to sail from the railway wharf for
Page Pago and Sydney at seven
o'clock this evening. This vessel
could hav egotten away at five o'clock
had tt not been for taking on the
extra allowance of fuel.
Mail from the mainland to the
amount. of 331 sacks arrived.
One of the interesting items con-
nected with the present voyage of
the Sonoma is the company of seven
trained seals, in charge of Captain
Tiebon, who is taking the animals to
Australia where they are to become
an offering on one of the prominent
vaudeville circuits. To accommodate
the seals, special cabin provided
with tank had to be constructed on
the Sonoma after daek Tn eseals
ar ereported as standing the voyage
in good shape. It is predicted that
with the care given them by the Off
GERS of the Sonoma, they will reach
their destination in first class condi-
ton. The seals have proven an OBJ
'ject of interest to the passengers, the
exhibit having figured in an entertain
ment given on board q few evenings
ago. Food for the seals in the form
of small fish to the number of fifteen
hundred or more are carried.
Seven expert tank constructors and
structural steel men were included
in the cabi messengers to arrive this
morning The party will take up
work at Pearl Harbor where num-
Der. of fuel oil tanks are soon to be
erected.

DEMOCRATS RAW.
Strongly Disapprove of Baldwin's
 Choice for Highway Commissioner.


 Hartford. Conn, Jan. 7.-It is ex- pected that Governor Baldwin will send to the senate at an early date, possibly next week, the name of a democrat ito succeed Highway Com missioner J. H. Macdonald. It is an- tfcipated by democrats that the name of ". H. Caldwell of New Britain action has created great stir among the democratic senators. It is under stood that several of the senators have protested to the governor against the sending in of MT. Cadwel1's name. It is further understood that a del- afternoon to inform him that MT. Cad wells name would be objectionable to several of the democrats and that there was likelihood that the nonaina- ton would not be confirmed.
 Former Senator Ha1loran of New Britain called upon the governor this afternoon and laid before him certain sitfon to MT. Caldwell is based. Mr Halloran afterwards said that he called upon the governor in his individual capacity and did not go there as 8 member of any delegation.
 The objection to MT. Caldwell was the topic of conversation among mem bers- elect tonight. It was even stated the governor that Mir. Cadwe1rs name would not be acceptable. There is no democratic civil engineer in the state Wf1o was competent to take the office of state highway commissioner.
 Other democratic senators claimed that Governor Baldwin will not recede from bis intentions to send in MT CAdwe1Fs name and that in the end the democratic senate will confirm the

 For many hours they elung there, the waves breaking over them re- peatedly. Late today the wind died down somewhat and the life savers were enabled to reach them. Two of the men were taken from their peril ous positions while the third, who had 1eaped into the sea when the iffeboat neared the spot, was taken from the water.
 Plight Not Known For Seven Hours.
 The Rosecrans was hurled upon the rocks at the same place where the steamer General Washington went around ayear ago. The Wash ington was pulled off later after two days struggle. Owing to the thick weather the plight of the Rosecrans was not larned for seven hours When her perilous position became known the tugs Goliath and Oneonta and the Fort Canby and Point Adams life sav- ing crews hurried to her aid. When the tugs reached the neighborhood of the tanker she was found to be hard aground and the high seas and driv- possible.
 Only Masts Above Water.
 The wrecked vessel soon shifted and began to break up, and before the tugs end life savers could get near enough to put line aboard she slipped off the rocks and sank until only her masts and the funnel appeared above the water, three men of the crew clfnging to the rigging.

WANTS 50 PER CENT
 DUTY ON SPICES.
New York Lawyer Tells Committee
 That They Are a Luxury

Washington, Jan 7.-The chemical schedule of the revised tariff 1egisla- ton to be enacted by the coming ex- tra session of congress was closed to- day, so far as public hearings are con cerned. The indications are that the democratic majority of the house com mittee on ways and means will sustain almost in all terms it's chemical sched- ule as embodied in the separate bill that passed both houses, though ve- toed.
 It is possible there may be some modification on the rates on spices. which several members of the commit tee favor, but this is uncertain.
 w. J. Gibson, a New York lawyer, wanted to put cod liver oil on the free list because of it's medicinal value to rickety and decrepit children. He classed spices as 1uxuries and argued for 50 per cent. duty on them. NO mother said he, gives her child spices, nor does anyone take them from real liking

JUDGE ARCHIBALD
 UNDER HOT FIRE. Asked Regarding Letter to Attorney for a Railroad.

Washington, Jan. 7--The imprGprie- ty of federal judges writing to an attorney on one side of case that had been argued before him for in formation or argument to clear uI' doubtful points became the point around which members of the senate today fired question after question at Judge Robert W. Archibald of the United States commerce court, now under trial by impeachment for al- legged violation of his federal oath.
 Cross examination of the accused jurist, begun by Representat1ve Srer- ling, was virtually taken out of his hands when that charge was reached involving Judge Archbald's correspon- dence with Attorney Helm Bruce of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. Members of the senate demanded of Judge Archibald time and again wheth- CT he did not think it improper and unfair to the other parties in a suit to request of one attorney. an explanation or correction of evidence, without giv ing like privilege to the other side he insisted he thought there was nothing improper in his conduct.
 -s Senators Reed, Pomerene, Cuiberson, Shively, Nelson, Hoke Smith and oth- CTS piled him with questions as to his Intent and as to the propriety of his act.
 Why did you not give the attorneys for the other side a chance to present their views?'' asked Senator Reed.
 .sThe point amounted to so little that it did not affect the decision of the case replied Judge Archibald You set out, did you nor, to write an, opinion in favor of the railroad, and you wanted MT. Bruce to fortify you in this ?" asked Senator Nelson P gfNo, I don't think what I did could be characterized in that way" replied Judge Archibald
 tsWhy did you not give the Bruce let ters to your associates on the bench ?" asked Senator Culberson.
 Because thev practically didn't en- ter into the case at al1," said Judge Archibald.
