Out of the thirty prisoners there are only two charged with serious of- fenses. They are from the navy and will be summarily court martialed.

As she passed Alcatraz the stars and stripes were run up to the fore and a national salute fired, the fort replying. All of the officers of the warship are new to San They are: Commodore Barnaud, commander of the di- vision and captain of the vessel; Lieutenant Crouzet, adjutant of the division and flag lieu- tenant to the commodore; Chief Engineer Charry, chief of both the division and of the vessel; Paymaster du Serech, paymaster of the first class and paymaster of both division and of the vessel; Dr. Denis, chief surgeon of the division and 'of the vessel: Captain Voisens, captain of the frigate; Lieutenants Laumonier, Biseuit and Twin: Ensigns Brossler and Lau- rent; Engineers Guyamart, Le Meur and Ved- rine, assistant engineers; 'Cadets Ravel, Ler- rier, Rivet, Besson, Canbriere and Gillet. The Protet went from here to Tahit! and from there made a cruise along the South American Coast. From Panama she went to San Diego and thence to San Francisco. The vessel was built in 1878 at Bor- deaux and is 331 feet long and forty-six feet beam. Her displacement is 4115 ns; her engines are 10,000 horsepower nd her speed is placed at 20% knots. Her armament is thirty rapid fire guns and two. torpedo tubes and she carries four searchlights. She carries 38 men, The cruiser will remain in the bay for a week and will probably be open to visi- tors next Sunday. She will then go to the Mare Island navy yard for an over- hauling.

After considerable discussion the board decided that all launches using the State wharves must be provided with at least one life preserver and seventy- five feet of 3-inch rope. This rule will not affect the Peterson fleet, as his launches have always carrled four or five life pre- servers and far more than the requisite quantity of rope. e Water Front Notes. The last of the salmon fleet arrived yes- terday. The Sintram got in after a rough passage of thirty-seven days from Lor- | ing, with 53,607 cases, thirty-seven half barrels and 239 barrels of salmon. She was caught in a gale soon after leaving and had to get under the lee of Cape Chacon for shelter. Later she came out, but had to buck head winds all the way to San Francisco. The big British tramp steamship Arab is nearly ready for sea again. She is now on the drydock and some time next week will either sail for Manila for Uncle Sam or to England with a cargo of wheat. A dispatch to the Merchants’ Exchange states that the barge C. H. Wheeler has been wrecked off Jaquina. She was on her way here in tow of the George H. Vosberg with half a million feet of lum- ber aboard when a southeaster came up and she was wrecked. Three of the crew were rescued, but one man was washed away and drowned. Pt e Steamer Movements.

Noted Statesmen Discuss the Matter With the President. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 4.—Seere- tary Root is taking counsel with some of the Republican party leaders in the pre- paration of a programme to meet the de- cisions of the Supreme Court last Monday in the insular cases. It is said that the present purpose is to ask Congress to leg- islate immediately to define with precision the status of the Philippines from a reve- nue point of view. ‘While neither of the cases decided Mon- day, the Pepke “fourteen dlamond rings” case, nor the Dooley case, affirmed or de- nied the. right of the Philippine authori- tles to collect duties on goods entering Manila from the United States, the offi- clals of the War Department in the ab- sence of legislation intend to continue the collection of the duties at the present rate at Manila. Amount of the Duties. The financial officials of the department who have looked into the trade figures for the past three years find that the sum of $1,900,000 represents about the total of the dutles collected from Spaniards on goods arrived at Manila which might have to be refunded in the event that it should ultimately be held that the collec- tion of duties on American goods there was {llegal. The Spaniards would secure like liquidation under the terms of the peace treaty guaranteeing them equal rights with' American merchants in tho Philippines. President Roosevelt to-day entertained a distinguished company at lunch. Amon the guests were Mayor-elect Seth Low o New York, Senators Depew, Platt and Frye. Secretaries Root and Hay, Attor- ney General Knox, Embassador Choate, Representative Littauer of New York and Mr. Cortelyou. The decision of the Su- preme Court in the Philippine cases was discussed and the conclusion reached to have a bill introduced at once in Con- fios to correct the situation at San rancisco by levying a duty on goods coming from the Philippines and, if nec- essary, to further legalize the present duty on goods entering the Philippines. Measure From Lodge. Senator Lodge to-day introduced a bill to provide revenues for the Philippine Islands. It provides that the tariff passed by the Philippine Commission September 17, 1901, and approved by the Secretary of War, shall remain in full force and ef- fect. This covers goods going into the islands. The second section of the bill provides for levying the same duty and tariff on goods coming into the United States from fhe Philippine Islands that are now col. lected from foreign countrie: Section three provides that until other- wise ordered statutory laws of the United States shall not be in force in the Phil- ippines except as ordered by the Philip- pine Commission. Section four provides that all duties collected in the Philippine Islands shall be paid into the Philippine Treasury. © il Coast Survey charts except when a minus (—) eign precedes the height, and then the number given is subtracted frum the depth given by the charts.

FATHER FOUND STARVING WITH EIS CHILD DYING Officers of Charitable Society Dis- cover Touching Example of Parental Affection. A sad case of destitution and a touch- ing example of parental affection was dis- covered at the home of Albert Ross, 15 Hawthorn street, yesterday by the offi- cers of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. A little 10-year-old boy has for weeks been lying helpless, slowly passing away with consumption, and the father has spent every available penny of his earn- ings in a vain endeavor to prolong his child’s life, meanwhile depriving himsel? of everything but enough food to keep body and soul together. When the offi- cers of the charity arrived they could not induce the man to leave his boy’s bedside, nlthoufh chilled and exhausted as a re- sult of his deprivations. The neighbors stated that Ross had not left the bedside for a moment for days, except when it was necessary to buy food for the dying lad. The rmatter was reported to the proper authorities and something will be done to alleviate the sufferings of the two unfor- unates. —_———— Leaves Estate to Clergymen. The will of Annie Griffin (nee Kenney) was filled for probate yesterday. She leaves an estate valued at $11,000, and names Rev. Father Yorke as executor of the document.
