The following notice to mariners
has been sent out by order of the
light house board, per P. J. Werlich,
Portland:
Gray's Bay Light, page 34, after
No. 114 (List of Lights, Buoys and
Daymarks, Pacific Coast, 1908, page
60). To be located in 8 feet of water
on the northerly side of the channel
from Knappton to Harrington Point,
Washington and about 1 mite 81 deg.
34 min. (E. 3-4 N) from the house on
Portugese Point.
About June 24, 1908, a fixed white
post lantern light will be established,
12 feet above the water, suspended
from a white arm on an unpainted
pile, to guide vessels in the sharp
turn at the narrowest part of the
channel.
Slaughter Light, page 38, No. 142
(List of Lights, Buoys, and Day
marks, Pacific Coast, 1908, page 67).

at Slaughter, Wash., close to the
northerly shore of the Columbia Riv

The structure from which this
light was shown, carried away and
the light extinguished June 10, will
be rebuilt and the light relighted as

JAPAN'S FINANCES
CAUSE ALARM
RETURNINO CONSULAR OFFIC
IAL SAYS MONETARY CONDI
TIONS THERE ARE IN BAD
SHAPE.
"Japan is really in a difficult finan
cial situation, a situation that may
properly be characterized as alarm
ing," said a gentleman who arrived
at the Astoria docks from the quar
antined transport Sherman last even
ing. "Perhaps it would not be saying
too much to state that the Nippon
ncse government is on the verge of
national bankruptcy. The finances of
the country seems to be tottering to
a fall."
The speaker has been In the con
sular service at Nasagaki for many
years. He wished that his name
might not appear in an interview be
cause of his otticiai position.
"So eager is the government to
secure funds, even in small amounts,
that it is paying 6 per cent on its
bonds," he continued.
Asked what was the real senti
ment of the Japanese people towards
the Americans, he replied: "Upon the
whole it was and is friendly enough,
though there is no question but that
the Japanese people have resented
the attitude taken by California and
San Francisco in the troubles there,
and esueciallv do they resent the
proposed legislation to keep all coolie
labor out of the States. Since the
Russian war, the Japanese people
have grown to have a wonderfully
good opinion of themselves, and are
disposed to bitterly resent anything
that reflects in any way on their na
tion." was shown, heretofore reported car

HAkSH WORDS FOR
THE STEWARDS
IT WAS TIP, TIP, TIP ALL THE
TIME ON THE TRANSPORT
SHERMAN. OR NO MEALS -
"Our delight in being permitted to
leave the Sherman can hardly be cx
pressed in words," in (lie ways one of
th eladics from the quarantined trans
port expressed it yesterday afternoon.'
It was so cold over there on the north
side of the river, and besides, we were
so badly crowded. And then, you
know the meals-"
"Hut everything pales into absolute
insignificance besides the question of
the tips," broke in a masculine voice
that came from a figure of soldierly
bearing. "It's tip, tip, tip all the
time. Tip, or get nothing to eat; tip,
or have no towels; tip, or have a life
a burden to you. The waiters were
the worst set of cool, calculating,
cruel, scoundrelly robbers that ever I
ran into. Dear Lord, if some of them
would only enter the service and get
into my command. Without the
slightest exaggeration I may say that
if you didn't tip at supper time you
simpy couhl not get breakfast."
There scim to be little question
that the tipping on the transport is
more than a mere vexatious matter.
So aggravating did it become, accord
ing to several of the civilian passen
gers, that it was looked upon as
merely outrageous. The fact that
even the officvers of the army and
navy who were making the trip on
leave on the Sherman were subjected
to and were compelled to give in to
the organized demands of the waiters,
goes to show that resistance was
hardly possible.
The tipping evil in this aggravated
form probably is possible on the
transport Sherman because of the
peculiar conditions that obtain on the
vessel. Civilians and discharged sol
diers and others who have been in the
government service in the insular
possessions for a certain number of
years, are permitted to come home
on the transport free of charge, ex
cept that a certain payment is requir
ed for the meals. The waiters are an
independent lot ,and may leave the
ship at the first port. If a 'complaint
is to be made, there seems no one
to complain to that has any real au
thority over the waiters, and hence
arises the trouble. The above is the
story of the suffering passengers; the
waiters' side of the story has not
been heard as yet.
AWAIT ATTACK.

forts and every craft between foru
and Sandy Hook was brought out in
to clear relief. The men behind the
searchlights were taking no chances
of being surprised by the enemy for
lack of illumination.
All night the lights flashed over the
bay and the soldiers, both profes
sional and amateur, slept lightly,
ready to jump to their places at the
first alarm. But the night passed
quietly and daylight came without the
"enemy" having put in an appearance.
It is almost certain now that the at
