NEW RULING
ANNOUNCED
'- "'
Government Customs Houses to
Remain Open ' Until 4:30
P. M. Hereafter. "
NOTICE RECEIVED LOCALLY
Euillyes W ill et Half Holiday
Each Week Duriagr July,
August and Septem
ber Thla Year.
Hereafter the United Statea customs
house at thi port of Aitorla will remain
pen until i: SO p. m. of each dor, in
accordance with a ruling recently made
by Secretary of the Treasury Leslie
If. Shaw. Copies of the ruling have
Just been received here. Formerly
the customs house 'we ' opened for
business at o'clock and closed at 4.
The rullnc of 'the secretary requires
that all customs bouses shall be kept
open until :10. commencing with
January 11. The ruling is made under
the act of congress of March 15, 1898.
Under the new order of things em
ployes will work eight hours dally. In
stead of seven and one-half, as has
heretofore been' the case. In the past
the local customs house was not closed
from to 4. and it will be constantly
open hereafter from ,to 4: SO. On
Saturdays during the months of July,
August and September the office will
be closed at IS noon, which was not
heretofore the 'case. The , additional
half hour will give masters of vessels
that much more time 1n which to at
tend to entries and clearances.
DESERTIONS ARE GENERAL
Apprentices Leaving Vessels Lying I
, Harbor at Portland. ,
Wholesale desertions are occurring
among the crews of vessels lying at
Portland. The men seem to like the
country; and. scarcely a day goea by
that some master does not report the
loss of sailors. Apprentices have Join
ed in the scramble for liberty. The
East African lost several men. of whom
two apprentices, Slmpklns and Whlst
on. are still missing. Parker Thomp
son, another apprentice who deserted
from the vessel, was recaptured and
returned to the ship. He says he was
foolish to desert and is glad that he
was captured. If he knows the where
abouts of the other lads he Is keeping
the information to himself.
According to the Journal, there ap
pears to be a regular epidemic among
the ship apprentices to desert. It Is
reported that there are four or five
aboard the British ship Glenesslln who
are on the verge of deserting. The
vessel is at the Eastern mill loading
lumber for Delagoa bay. South Africa.
Owing to the poor water and climate
that is looked upon as a very unhealthy
portl The Glenesslln was there on her
last trip, and the captain and all the
crey suffered greatly from suckness.
That is one of the reasons that the
apprentices are said to be looking with
longing eyes upon the shores of Atnerl-
ca'. "They do not want to go through
the same exeprten'ce of wrestling with
disease that they did a short time ago.
' Another reason for discontent is of
j fered in the fact that the Glenesslln is
I taklng on board unusually heavy tlm
l bers. In South African ports there are
f no longshoremen and the ship's crew Is
' obldged to discharge the cargo. That
f is heavy work that the beys are said
? to be desirous of escaping.
They have been with the Glenesslin
f three years and only have' one more
year to serve to blossom out into offic
ers of various grades. Desertion it is
pointed out, would spoil their seagoing
career in an Irreparable manner.
SPEED OF ATLANTIC LINERS.
8tstement Showing Average Time Re
quired For Oosan Ships.
Local agsnts r the North German
Lloyd Steamship -iompany; operating
between New York and London,have re
ceived tables showing the comparative

This report shows the Lloyd line to
lead the procession. Its ships Kaiser
Wllhelm der Grosse and Kronprinz Wil

This ship Is also a Lloyd vessel. The

erage time of 1T0. hours tor the voy.
age The White Star's best boat, the
Oceanic, required 17J.1 hours, and of
the American line the Philadelphia,
despite her name, proved the swiftest.
i' u V

hours. The general average of all lines
