Alsmy of the vessels are nearly a.

age in the bay has done more to foul
the bottoms than the trip around the

The work of coaling for the final leg

all speed. Last night the crew of the
Mams worked all night taking coal from
a collier alongside and stowing it away

Washington, April 8.—A special re
port just issued by the Interstate Com

illustration of tbe manner in which
railway corporations, once independ

of an investigation made in connection
with the establishment of a uniform
system of reports for railways which
tbe commission is empowered to pre
scribe.
One of its principal duties
will be tc compile infornation to aid
in determining the proper form of a

One of the principal usee of the re
port will be to furnish information,
heretofore unobtainable, to the public,
congress, court and Interstate Commerce
commission. It makes public for the
first time the amount of securities ’U

The
statistical tabulation shows that out of

FLEET ASSURES PEACE.
Evans Says Vovage to Pacific Was
Well Timed
San Francisco. April 7.— Admiral
Roblev D. Evans, In an interview
print«! in the Chronicle tolay, said:
“The greater interest cf the United
States today is In the Pacific. The
coming of the fleet to this coast has not
only demonstrated to the world tlurl we
have 16 battleships which tan be
brought together for a long cruise at a
moment’s notice, but it has called the
attention of the people of our own
country to tbs fact that we have a Pa
cific coast as well as an Atlantic coast,
and that It will be defended just as
much as every inch of land around New
York, and that our Interests in the Pa
cific today are greater than in the At
lantic.
“Thia is the short road to the coun
tries of the Far East, where the greatest
commercial development is to be. With
development will come war, but it will
be a commercial war, fought with
brains and dollars and not with 10-inch
guna. It will be generaled by stieh men
as Harriman, and the part of tha navy
ia only to be always rea»iy. We do not
plan nor fight commercial battlee.
"The coming of the fleet waa moat
opportunely timed by the president,
and its arrival in the Pacific has result
ed in the present assurance of peace.
Not that I ever believed that there was
any actual danger of war. Tbe people
of both countries realised too well what
a dreadful calamity such a war would
have been."

The national dtairage bill, which
