The Supreme Court has struck a se- vere blow to ‘‘tugboat’ marriages, and placed many a happy couple In a posi- tion that may be embarrassing, to put the situation in its mildest form. In brief, the Justices of the highest California tri- bunal declare this kind of marriage to be illegal and demorafizing in its effects The case under consid- eration comes from Los Angeles County, and by the action a young husband, as evidently supposed himselt to be, sought to have declared illegal an al- leged marriage on the high seas.

Attention was called to the importance of eeping sheep and cattle men out of the reservation. In concluding his remarks Mr. Kinney sald that the Yosemite Valley should be thoroughly advertised so as to bring returns for the outlay and conces- sions. The guardian of the valley recom- mended that a new bridge be thrown across the river on the Royal Arch road, which_proposition was received with fa- vor. It was decided to build a new trail to Stanford Point and place a railin, around the dangerous parts of the roa leading to Inspiration Point. WILLIAM F. GOAD’'S WILL.

Those persons were merchants present- ing certificates, giving the nature, char- acter and estimated value of thelr bus- iness, students and tourists for pleas- ure. Many of the applicants were described as ‘“‘shroffs” which means collectors. Others were described as salesmen and accountants. Ah Pak had no certificate. He came as a tourist to visit his father who, he said, was a merchant at Monterey. Wing Fat, alias “Flying Soap,’’ a laundryman from New Orleans, wanted to pass In as a merchant, but he had no_certificate and must stay out. Chew Hang and Hon Jow claimed to be native born Ameri- cans, and as such eligibls to the Pres dency of the United States, but the Col lector did not believe them and they have taken out writs of habeas corpus, alleging that their rights as American citizens have been violated. Seven Chinese came in as merchants with certificates in proper form and were admitted. —————— DANGEROUS TOWING. First Officer Ward of the Coos Bay Suspended for Neglect of Duty. O. F. Bolles and J. K. Bulger, local In- spectors of Hulls and Bollers, have noti- fled all the parties interested that the steamship North Fork would not be al- lowed to tow more than one vessel or barge at any time from this port. This prohibition extends to all steamers. First Officer Philip D. Ward has been suspended for sixty days for failing to call the captain when the fog closed in on the land and caused the wreck of the steamship Coos Bay. The inspectors de- cided that he was Jumy of negligence in that matter. Captain J.

Thomson of Los Angeles, boarded a fishing and pleasure schooner, the J. Wil- | where the master, Captain W. L. Pler- son, performed the ceremony of mar- riage, and the young people agreed to be husband and wife. The young people were residents of the city of Los Angeles, and upon thelr re- turn from the “tughoat”” marriage they lived together as husband and wife for elght days. The young woman then left Normaen and refused to live with bim, and, further, by the advice of her father, she’ declared that no marriage existed between her and the man. Then it was that the latter sought relief from the courts in an action to have declared legal | captain of the schooner at sea. In his was still in full force and effect, never having been annuiled and having been consummated by reason of their havin, lived together eight days as husban and wife. The woman, bg" her father, set ué) the allegation that the marriage was a farce, and that the alleged ceremony was for the purpose of evading the laws of the State In which both parties lived, and consequently void. he further ‘asked that Norman be stopped from asserting and .uflumln¥ to_be her husband. The lower court found in her favor and de- cided that the alleged husband was not entitled to any relief as prayed for. Commissioner N. P. Chipman, who wrote the decision which was concurred in by the Justices, sustains the judgment of the lower court, and after reviewing the facts of the case, guts his stamp of con- demnation on ‘‘tugboat marriages” In the fuufwmg very severs language: “In this case there was no license, there was no solemnlzation by any per- son authorized by law to perform the ceremony, there was no marriage under section 18%. To recognize such a mar- riage, we think, would grossly violate the spirit and letter of our statute, and be a blot upon the civilization we profess. Our conclusion rests upon the want of any authorized solemnization and would be the same if the parties wers both of age. sl'he far-reaching effect of this declsion can readily be seen. In the past few years several hundred of this class of marriages have taken place on boats from this bay and Monterey. While the gartles in these ceremonies may have een actuated by proper motives, ro- mantic or otherwise, their position In so- ciety is a matter of serious question, con- sidering that not a few the couples have established families, ' whose good names in the present and future is a matter of no small concern.

His name will ever be connected ap- provingly with the addition of another star to the banner of the free and the brave. Senator Morgan was then presented, and made the opcnlnf speech on behalf of the commission. After paylng a clever tribute to the hospitality ‘of the San Francisco people, he briefly referred to his visit to the Hawailan Islands last year, when he went in search of informa- tion, believing that the da*’ of annexa- tion was close at hand. I found there a Government as excellent as in America— as good as that in any of the States,” remarked Mr. Morgan. “It is sayln% a ood deal, but only the truth. he merican = Government stands foremost among the Governments of the earth; yet the American residents in the Hawailan Islands, during the course of years, had succeeded in working out a system which was simply admirable. It was as good as thai of any on the face of the earth. The beauties of the system will be more fully understood by our people as relations with the islands become more familiar. Let me ask a question: If the Philippines or Cuba or Porto Rico were as thoroughly civilized as are the Hawalian Islands do ou think there would be a moment's Kesluuon on the part of the American in admitting all of those islands Eloflng parties will cross Alaska near the ead of the Kuskokwim during the pres- ent season and will ub(%n valuable data concerning its source. The Mahlamutes, who live along the lower Kuskokwim in | numerous large villages, are, as a rule, inoffensive, half-starved {)eople, who are too lazy to even catch the quantity of | salmon necessary for thelr subsistence and are in winter often reduced to the direst extremities. It is seldom, how- ever, that they are caught stealing from the few white men who frequent the coast. Since the Klondike excitement arose several parties of mining - prospectors have been outfitted to explore the Kus- kokwim, but so far as known up to the rreaen( time the only one that reached he scene of operations was the ill-fated Columbia Exploring Company. For nine or ten years past the Mora- vians have maintained a mission station at the mouth of the Kuskokwim and an- other at Momentrehlahogamute, a small native village about two hundred miles up the stream. This was, up to a few months ago, in charge of a full blooded Cherokee Indian from the United States, who went there as a Moravian mis- sionary. country —_——e .
