MARITIME MESSAGES Wireless News From Warships Picked Up Here. ALESIADOCKS AT 0. R. & N. PIER Lighthouse Fleet Accounted For Alliance Sails Thi Morning Gue thary OS For Europe Asuncion in Yesterday Waterfront Items. The boys up at the United Wirele station on Smith's Point, early yes terday morning, picked up a message from the battleships Maryland and West Virginia, then off Cape Blanco, announcing that all was well, and ask ing for "war news"; to which "Fuwy" replied with what of thrilling items he possessed. The vessels are on their way to the Bremerton navy yard and will join the great Armada when it shall arrive in the harbor of San Francisco. They also picked up a message from Point Loma, 1200 miles to the southward. The steamship Senator got away from the 0. R. & N. piers in this city at 2 a. m. yesterday, with good busi ness in all departments; but the hour of departure chosen for a passenger packet was, to say the least of it, unearthly. But time and tide and steamships), wait for no man, and rarely consult his convenience. The French bark Guethary, Captain Loisel, went to sea yesterday after noon, bound for Falmouth, England, for orders. V The steamer Asuncion arrived in from San Francisco yesterday after noon and went on to the metropolis after a brief stay in these waters The Norwegian steamshiD Trie- i luer arrived in port yesterday noon, out of Portland, for the Orient The P. & A. liner Alesia docked at the O. R. & N. piers yesterday even ing, taking on 140 tons of stuff for Shanghai, and then departed for the bar and deep water. She attracted a Lvi .l.al of attention, as she has nev er docked here before, and is one of the finest freighting craft of the Pa cific water. The Alcsia spent that night here taking on her oderiferous load, there being 2S00 sacks of the fertiliser in the shipment. She wilt probably go over the bar this morn ing. , tk Armaria has none to Seattle and other Sound ports with supplies for the light stations up that way. The Heather is on the way at Brem erton and good for another month up there; while the Columbine is due in this port at almost any hour. Was there ever a Revenue Cutter in the service of the United States by the name of McCullough? It seems we have heard that name somewhere in the dim and distant past! The British steamship Mortlake is among the vessels of the wheat fleet due down from Portland and is likely to show up on this side of Tongue Point at most any old time. Keep an eye open for the racing steamers Roanoke and Rose City, due in this harbor tomorrow afternoon or evening.

The lobbies which have' been maintained in Wislative halls, the efforts to per vert administration by securing the service for particular interests ikxeA lin nne as the servants the people, the corruption of the sole means by which the people can ex rr fiifir will, have been the effee tive causes of distrust of government and furnish the most serious pretext for assaults upon our institutions.

If the people would be served faithfully they must show their esteem of faithful service.

To secure proper service, they must be subject to regulation. It must be taken as firmly established that the evils of rebating and of un just discrimination will not be toler ated and that adequate and impartial service upon reasonable terms must be insisted upon. There must be ma chinery through which public obliga tions as defined by law may be en forced. This can best be obtained through an administrative board such as the- Interstate Commerce Commis sion. The question of rates must be determined after full consideration of all pertinent facts to the end that the requirements of impartiality and rea sonableness may be complied with while at the same time fair returns to the owners may be assured. Noth ing should be lacking in administra tive powers for the attainment of these objects. "It is also essential that there should-be efficient supervision of the issue of securities to avoid the evils of inflation and of over-capitalization. "In our legislation and administra tion, we must favor no class but pro tect the interests of all our citizens. While the nation may devote its pow ers to this end so far as matters are within federal control, our state gov ernments and local communities must not miss their great opportunities. In the use of all these powers, accord-' ing to their constitutional distribu tion, for the development of our re sources, the encouragement of agri culture, the, improvement of the con ditions of labor and the safeguarding of the, freedom of commerce, we shall progress toward the attainment of the aims of liberty. Let us realize our mutual dependence and rejoice with Washington, not in power, but in service, not in distinction, but in duty well performed, not in what we km gained, but In what we have given."
