ROW OVER COAL FOR NAVY.
Suspension of Laws Protecting Coasting
Vessels Involved.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-Complica-tions
threatened by the apparent sus
pension of the laws for the protection
of the vessels engaged in coastwise trade
in order to get coal to Admiral Evans'
fleet in the Pacific are now actually
confronting the administration.
Dispatches from Port Townsend,
Wash., this morning told of the deten
tion of the British tramp steamer Xeth
erlee, loaded with coal for the Bremer
ton navy yard on a demand that she pay
reprcseuuiig aueu luuuagc aim
light taxes. The imposition of these
taxes is made under statutes for the pro
tection of American vessels engaged in
the coastwise trade. The master of the
Netherlee claims immunity from the
tax under a promise of the navy depar
ment. .'- .-
The government authorities interested
declined to discuss it further than to
say that there would be some light shed
on it tomorrow. It is admitted by the
law officers who are considering it that
the question involved is a very close one.
There was a conference at the office
of Secretary of the Navy Metcalf late
this afternoon between the secretary, the
judge advocate general of the Navy De
partment, the solicitor of that depart
ment, the solicitor of the department of
Commerce and Labor and the commis
sioner of navigation. The question was
carefully considered at the conference in
the light of the opinion given by Attorney-General
Bonaparte. It is under
stood that Borne solution looking to har
monious action between the departments
in the future application of the law will
be made Monday.

40TH ANNIVERSARY
OF ARRIVAL
CAPTAIN WOOD, OLDEST PILOT IN
BAR SERVICE, TELLS OF ARRIVAL
ON COAST FORTY YEARS AGO AND
DESCRIBES CITY.
Yesterday was the 40th anniversary of
the arrival' of Captain George W. Wood,
of the Bar Service, in Astoria. He h
seen longer service as pilot for ships
crossing the Columbia bar than any oth
er man in the city and has watched
Astoria grow up from a city of 1200
people' to her present size.
There is probably no other man in
this section who is so fully acquainted
with this district as Captain Wood. "'
he has the greatest confidence of the
harbor one day becoming the bigg't
shipping point on the Pacific Coat.
Wiien quite a young man the cap
tain came to the Pacific Coast with the
coast survey cutter W. H. Marsey 40
years ago yesterday. He liked this sec
tion so well that he decided to locaw
here, and with the exception of a few
years he has been here ever since.
He remembers when the only wharf
on the lower Columbia was a small af
fair at the foot of Eleventh street in
Astoria. The revenue cutter at that
time was the Joe Lane, which sometimes
lay at anchor for six months at a
stretch before being called to duty by
the arrival of an occasional ship.
Captain Wood can tell many amusing
incidences of the early days, among
them being the search for amusement.
During the early da.vs there were two
violin players who used to be in great
demand. They lived many miles apart
and in order to have an evening's enjoy
ment long trips over the hills used to
be made to secure their services.

MULAI HAFIG THREATENS FEZ f
TANGIER. Oct. 12.-The power of
Mulai Hafig, who has been proclaimed
sultan in the south, has been greatly
strenirthened .in that part of Morocco by
the declaration of the Ultomas. or holy
men, at Fez, that he has more legal an J
moral right to the throne than has Ab-
del Aziz, the sultan of record. This
coupled with the approach of Mulai Ha-
Ac's army upon Fez, argues a spee'iy
capitulation of the northern capital
CASA BLANOA, Oct. 12. One ol trio
armies commanded by Mulai Haflg is
now reported to be advancing upon Casa
Blanca. The strength or the force is not
known.

A NEW ENTERPRISE
ASSURED
T. L. DBISCOIX, OF ALT00NA, WASH.,
WILL OPERATE THE NEW BOAT
YARD RECENTLY BUILT IN THI3
CITY.
T. I Driscoll, the well known boat
builder of Altoona, Vlash., h about to
remove to Astoria. Mr. Driscoll has the
reputation of building the fastest boats
on the river, and was the builder of the
"Hummer," which won two prizes in the
flh boat races, at the recent Regatta.
Thou. Trullinger, for some time past, has
been interesting himself in endeavoring
to induce Mr. Driscoll to come to As
toria, and open a boat building yard.
He has finally succeeded and Mr, Trul
linger has built a boat house opposite
the Clatsop Mills which he operated by
Mr. Driscoll. This will be a valuable ad
dition to Astoria's industries as opera
tions will be commenced with a force of
about 12 men, which will be added to as
the business is developed. ' :
Enterprises of this kind are to be en
couraged as they are local and such
hustling and loyal spirit as has been dis
played by Mr. Trullinger will be good to
imitate by others looking to the advance"
