ANNIE LARSEN READY FOR SEA Alliance Arrives In From Eureka and Ceoa Bay, with Plenty of Freight and People Roseerans . Down 4 with Monterey. : The Japan m steamship Shlbata Uaru, Captain W. J. Eckstrom, la re ported as du In this port some time today, en route to Japan, from Port .land. Twenty-five of her original crew deserted her at the metropolis .aoon after her arrival there, causing much annoyance to her master; not so much ton the score of the federal head-tax .of each, which he must pay for every one of them not re captured, or returned to the vessel, but that the full crew of the ship ts disorganised and rendered Inefficient by the absence of these men who have been carefully trained to the work of the vessel. , The Japanese have a very adroit and thorough-go-.Jng system In the shipping and train ing of their merchant and naval ma rine, and death and desertion in the ranks of either are always deplored as a detriment to the morale of the shipa and services. . For instance, it la a well known fact that the Japanese merchant service always ships its men under very ex act and stringent rules, giving to each man shipped a "marine book," In which the name, marks, and general history of the sailor la faithfully In scribed as time goea on, wholly sup plemented by the photograph of the man himself taken In a home-port, pasted in the back of the book for purposes of identification; and upon the personal records, the sailor, and the employing company, relies for the establishment of all rights attaching to either, wheresoever , question may arise. It Is said that the Bhibata Maru has enlisted several local Japanese from Portland, to take, the places of those of the deserters, who have nut returned to the vessel, and, before she loaves this port, she will be checked up by the Immigration bureau Inspectors, and It will be amusing If these "well posted officers are sought to bp Im posed on by the recruits from Port land parading under the name, marks, histories and photographs of the men whose places they have taken on the, shin, that is, If any of them should venture to do so. Such a scheme would be easily detected, and only to the discomfiture of the men working It. It would simply result In the declara tion of the Inspectors that the usual head-tax must be paid on ther ab aenteena This, of course, Is a baga telle, but the whole thing serves to show that the Immigration rules of this country are quite parallel with the best methods of service extant, and match all conditions very successfully. With half a million feet of lumber in her hold and on her decks, the schoon er Annie Larsen now Ilea at the dock of the Astoria Box Company, ready for her trip back to San Francisco. She has had an eventful . trip, and her stay In this port has made a very dark page In her history. Her for mer master, Captain Forest, a man never In thia or any trouble like It In his long and active career on this coast, lies in the county jail of Clatsop "with , a charge of murder pending against him; the man who gave the hardest testimony of the sev en witnesses from the vessel against the captain, is in the same jail, charged with stealing $170 In gold from the mate of-the Larsen; George Fisher, one of her former crew, and who was killed by the captain, Is In his grave; the old crew has been dis charged and a new one completely In stalled, and the vessel win go out in command of the ex-mate of the schooner Andy Mahoney, Captain Charles Hellstrom. Quite a record for one small schooner to make in a few short weeks, in this port Four seamen of the British bark Melanope, who arrived here from Ta coma yesterday, went to British Vice Consul P. ll Cherry yesterday, in the matter of securing their private ef fects from the vessel now under the direct charge and authority of Dep uty U.
