HOME INVOLVED St gnie Congress Will Determine If the Purposes of Establish- ment. Are Being Fulfill s I g Secretary Cortelyou of the Depart- | ment of Commerce and Labor has com- | preferred by the British Embassy | Home in this city, and has pub- | senty-thred | pages of a Senate document of closely | printed matter. B The British Embassy "charged that ‘there is strong reason for believing that this institution under its present ement differs but little from a | crimpi establishment, although it is! | alleged that the building is the prop- | | erty of the United States Government | and leased at a low rent to the home for charitable purposes in_ connection with the care bf seamen. “The . testimony shows,” says Secre- | tary Cortelyou, “that the Sailore’ Home at San Francisco is, in the main, a well conducted sailors’ boarding hcase.” The | Secreta continues { “In 1876 marine hospitals were main- | tained by a hospital tax of 40 cents a | ‘month upon the wages of seamen of | merchant vessels of the United States. | W !‘fll!111 it was the purpose of Con- gréss by the act of August 11, 1876, to provide that the Sailors’ Home. for- mefly a marine hospital, should be sup- | ported by the payment of board by the seamen inmates, or should be a charitable institution, does not amwar; from the act.

I have deemed it best to transmit the papers directly to Congress to deter- mine whether its purpose is being ful- filled, and if not, what disposition shall be made of the property, which is val- | | | - testimony of Thomas Murray Jr. | the effect that on May §, 1903, | to he shipped eleven men at the British | Consulate General's office for the Brit- | ish ship Charles Cotesworth, then at | eka.

Hawking of the Sea- men’s Mutual Landlords” Associgtion, of svhielr John Ferem," superintendent of the Sailors’ Home, is a member. and other witnesses testified that Ferem ran a launch and employed | runners just as the rest of the board- ing-house men did, and that.Ferem | was guilty of inducing sailors to desert foreign vessels. Ferem admitted that he charges $5 a week at the home for board and room; that he did not receive any sal- | ary or other money from the trustees, and that he paid all the expenses of the home out of the receipts from Sdll- ors and that he kept the profits. He | ar | He ex- | having induced them to desert; rlained the desertions by saying that a sailor arriving in San Francisco upon an English ship and receiving 312 50 a month. with poor food, and seeing & prospect of obtaining a. position for ican vessel is very likely to change his employment. The testimony of Thomas Chandler, shipping master, is to the effect that seamen’s wages in Europe are about $15 a menth, and in San Francisco from | $35 to $45 a month. KARNEY TESTIFIES. Arthur Karney, chaplain of Miulnns to Seamen, testified as follows: “When a deep water foreign ship comes into port, aithough the men have signed for the round voyage back to Europe, and this is perfectly "well known, the Sailors’ Home launch goes vited to ‘leave the ship and go to the home.” He said that he had been told by sailors that they had gone away to| the Sailors’ Home in the launch, think- ing it was like the other sailors’ homes in foreign ports, and they had found it as bad as any crimping establish- | ment here or elsewhere! “They are ashogre in the homeé in some cases a few days, in some instances a few hours, l of the outcoming voyage gone and a month’s advance of the voyage just begun paid to the Sailors’ Home super- intendent.” . The witness further said that Ferem | narbored deserters, k‘)owing them to | | be such, and that if Ya sallor refused | | to sign on a ship at the command of | the superintendent of the home he is often violently turned out. H. W. Hutton and A. Furuseth testi- fled. that it would be a very serious blow to the sailors of the Pacific Coast | if the management of the Sailors’ Home was changed or if the United States | Government should withdraw it for the purposes for which it was formerly set aslde | ll secure one of these handy articles. e e, Owing to the enormous, demand for the tape meas- ure, offered as a premium to Want Advertisers in last Sunday’s Call, another supply was ordered and the offer will be rencwed _mext Sunday in order to " give every Want Adver- tiser the opportunity to | Dr. | grave anxiety is:felt. {'from Hamburg, for Honolulu, | from Newecastle, ARMY TRANSPORT THOMAS '~ SAILS FOR PHILIPPINES With All Marks of the Typhoon Encountered on Last Home- ward Voyage Obliterated, Big Troopship Leaves Port With a Squadron of Cavalry and Many Cabin Passengers The army transport Thomas, Captain | Naple Lyman commanding, sailed yesterday for Manila, leaving Folsom-street wharf promptly at noon. During her stay in port, all traces of the bruises and scars made by the typhoon which’enlivened her last homeward trip were covered up and in appearance the troopship was spick and span as she has ever looked on sailing day. The Thomas’ passengers included hospital corps men, 14 members of the signal corps, § enlisted men of the Twenty-second Infantry, three casuals for Homolulu and a squadron of the Second Cavalry. With the horse soldiers were officers as follows: Captain J. H. Gardner, Second Cav- alry, commanding; First Lieutenant and Squad Adjutant T. M. Caughian; First Lieutenant E. N. Coffey, Second Lieutenant F. McEnhill, squad quarter- master and commissary; Second Lieu- tenant A. M. Pope, Contract Surgeon L. R. Cornman, Veterinarian Burt Eng- lish, Chaplain David L.

The steam schooner Olympic, Captain Han- sen, was the first vessel to pass in through the Golden Gate this year. It was a Captain Han- sen who brought in the Point Arena; the first vessel that entered the harbor in 1003. The Hansens are again “it,”” but oply by a narrow margin, The steamer Arctic, with Captain Nelson in command, was the last arrival in 1903, and chasing the Olymplc came the S Pedro, with aptain Pet n on h bridge. The descendants of Vikings bad it all their own way during the very tiny babyhood of 1904, the Scandinavian spell was broken when “aptain Monroe brot in the steamer Lee- lanaw and the “Captain” column of the Mer- chants’ Exchange arrival register resumed its cosmepolitan tone. e g e Mariner May Lose His Eye. Somebody struck Captain Fred Jessen, mas- ter of the scow schooner Andrew Jackson, in the right eye early yesterday morning, and as a result the mariner may lose the use of the injured optic. Who struck him, or with what, | Captain Jessen knows not, nor awhere he was when the collision occurred. Dr. DIggins, who tremted- him at the Harbor Hospital, found the evebal] punetured.. He.dressed the injury’ and Jessen was taken to the Marine Hospital : The Overdue List. - The overdue list posted at the Merchants' Exchange has dwindled down to the-namés of two vessels, for the ¥afety of each of which The Paris, out 237 day is quoted at 75 per cent, and the Loch Bredan, out 123 days from Adelaide, for Port Natal, a voyage which should have occupied about 50 days, is quoted l'at 70 per cent. FRERSS O Lands a Sick Fireman.

N.. in charg —_—— Seminole Best Specimen of Indian. Without government bounty or aid of any sort, without even lands that they may call their own, with no school or mission, teacher or priest, these peo- ple are still living decently, quietly, and with a fair degree of comfort, ut- terly unhelped andalmostunnoticed by the world outside, yet more than con- tent that this shall be so if only they are not banished from the sunny land they cling to! According to the most authoritative estimates they nave nearly doubled in numbers since the deportation of those who surrendered, and are now reckoned at approximate-. 1y 400. They have cleared and cultivated no inconsiderable areas, their orchards and groves yield- much fruit, while their live stock, hogs and poultry are the en- vy of the white cowboys and land- grabbers, who ride among them more &nd more in latter days casting covet- ous eyes on fine cattle and rich fields. Their chief agricultural products are maize, potatoes, beans. squash, melons and sugarcane, and the annual har- vests are usually abundant. Thus, with the game which is still plentiful in the Glades and the poul- try and dairy products, besides such N., Mes San ' Francisco, Ca _pleasant fruits as ‘bananas, oranges, plums, figs, grapes and custard ap- ples, all of which grow freely, either wild or under cultivation, the diet of the Indian is more varied, nutritious | and savory than that of the “poor whites” on either Southern of New England farms. As a result of the combined with good descent, the Sem- inole Indian is the finest specimen of the American Indian now Extant.— Gunton's Magazine. .

SIGNS CHEER THE MERCHANT Busmess Throughout the Coun- try Gives Indication of Im- proving Greatly in Short Time e i CONFIDENCE IS E s el T N SR Transportation Lines Are Well Engaged in Handling Grain, Livestock, Fuel and Lumber NEW YORK, Jan. 1.—R. G. Dun & Co’s. Weekly Review of Trade to-mor- row will say: g Violent fluctuations in cotton and uncertainty regarding the situation in the Far Bast were the only signal fac- tors in the business situation during | the holiday week. Numeroys expres- sions of confidence are heard regarding the future, however, especially at the West and South. XPRESSED longer vacation than last year, but many announce resumption of work on Monday. Textile mills are confronted with a lack of proper proportion be- twéen prices of raw material and fin- | ished products, and it is evident that | the cost of production must be held | { down in some way or other or much machinery will become idle. Transportation lines are well' en-} | 8aged in handling grain, live stock,| | fuel and lumber, while earnings thus| far paid for December exceed the pre- | vious year an average of 5.6 per cent. | Few new contracts for iron and steel are reported, yet the general level of ! quotations is fairly maintained, and! - | better conditions are expected early in 1904. reported in concessions, not affect list figures. Much irregularity and activity ‘s | reported in the markets for minor| | metals, which are chiefly responsive to| speculative operations at London. De- spite a sharp break in the foreign mar- ket. tin closed the week with a net gain and copper is also stronger, be- cause of increased interest abroad. IP‘rQVlflufi records of footwear handling from Boston were far eclipsed during | the past year, and there was even more notable increase in production elsawhere. i Only steadiness can be recorded as to Chicago packer hides, further ad- Seyeral special transactions are but these do | | i t vances being checked by the diminution of purchases. As to the textiles, the week has only augmented unsettled conditions, especially as to cotton goods. In the woolen division, new lines of overcoatings continue in moderate de- mand. Firmness is still the feature in wool. Johbing trade in dry goods is seasonably quiet. Failures this week numbered 232 in the Unjted States, against 298 last year, and in Canada 17, compared with eight a yvear ago.

The natives of Alaska are a fast dwindling race. Their sun is setting. Probably their midday sun never rose higher than the midwinter sun rises in this latitude. Most of the Eskimos in Alaska are gathered at the mijssions, but the traveler will find.a few in vil- lages of two or three or half a dozen igloos in places convenient for fishing, as fish is the staple diet of these peo- ple. Starvation and disease have left but a remnant of once populous tribes. Contact with the white race has had a great deal to do with their deterio- ration. They like whisky, and like all other native races are not naturally in- | dustrious. Before the coming of the white man stern necessity made them provide for the immediate future. The sea supplied them with most of their food, and there were wild berries and various kinds of game on the land to vary their fish diet. By instinct, in- herited from a long line of ancestors, they are fishermen and hunters, but by contact with the Caucasian they are makers of curios and traders. In their new avocation they have become dependent to a great extent upon the white people. But the higher race is not re.pon- sible for all their ills. The unsanitary state in which they live is not con- ducive to longevity. The impure air in the native winter huts, the lack of per- sonal cleanliness and much of the food i the native eats would shorten the days of the hardest people. The Eskimo has some gualities of character to be admired. He has often shared his last bit of food with starving pi or wrecked sailors. He is bright and ingenious, simple minded as a child, with a happy disposition that takes no thought of the morrow. He is bad only when under the influence of liquor. * The Government should make some provision for the Hskimo. He can be made self-supporting, possibly a con- tributor to the wealth of the world, by placing him in a line of work for |7 ‘which nature has fitted him. .Provide him with modern appliances and means for fishing and whaling, and with proper management he will be- | come a producer of wealth.—Nome News.
