YOL.XX. NO. 9.
ASTORIA, OHEGON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1884.
PRICE, FIVE CENTS.
NO AMERICAN SAILORS.
Swedes ami German the IJc-t Men Who
Now are Shipped Before tlic 3Iat.
A stranger in walking through the
groups of men that stand about, ap
parently idle, in Irout of the saloons,
the ship chandler stores and the
warehouses along South street, might
not notice that they differed from
laboring men seen elsewhere, except
IRjssibly that they are as a rule, of a
more comfortable appearance. But if
one stops to listen he will hear them
talking, always with a foreign accent,
of ships, ship news, and places in for
eign lands. They are sailors or sea
faring men, or men who get their liv
ing by dealing with seafaring men.
In a part of the street where the
groups are thickest was a little red
and white sign yesterday, which read:
"Give the old man a chance. Uncle
.Toe Bayles. Shipping office." A
narrow stairway led to a third story
front room with low ceiling and a rail
ing that divided the room across the
middle. Colored prints gave variety
to the walls. Men of various colors
and conditions and in all comfortable
attitudes served the same purpose for
. the rest of the room. Behind a desk
witliin the railing was Uncle
Joe and a partner. When asked
whether any difficulty was found in
obtaining sailors, they said : "None
whatever. We are overrun with cer
tain kinds of. men, and can get a good
crew without any delay."
"How many of the crews placed by
you are American sailors, or what pro
portion of each crew is composed of
Yankee sailors?'
The two men looked at each other
and then at the questioner for a min
ute, and then one said : "He wants to
know if any Yankees are shipped out
of this port."
'Oh!" said the other. "Ye-es.
Immesee. Was it two or three we
shipped this year ?"
"What nationalitv do vou ship
then y"
"Swedes and Germans mostly. Now
and then one or two from all other
nations under the sun except our
own. Captains who come in here tell
us they want Swedes or Germans.
Some take negroes, especially for the
West India trade during the sickly
season. They never call for Irish
men." r "Can you give any reason for this":'
"Yes. Swedes as a class are the
best sailors shipped. They have to
serve some sort of an apprenticeship
in their own vessels when they first
go to sea. Then they will staud more
abuse than any other nationality.
They are docile. They are as healthy
men as can be found anywhere. Ne
groes are good in summer, because
they can lie down on deck when the
tar is running out of the seams and
dripping from the rigging, and sleep
soundly. In winter the cold kills them.
Irishmen are dreaded, because when
disciplined with a marline-spike they
are pretty sure to kick up some sort
of a mutiny. The Dagos and the West
India negroes are treacherous. The
English are good sailors, but we do
not have many of them. They stick
by their line steamships."
"What has become of the Yankee
sailor that used to man the clipper
ships we read of?"
"He doesn't grow any more. Why
should he? What is there to induce
a boy to go to sea? Is it the SIS a
month that he can earn, but not al
ways get, when ho has sailed long
enough to learn his trade? Is it the
salt horse and hard tack that he lives
on? Is it the persuasive fist of the
mate when that gentleman is afflicted
with a sour temper? Can you think
of one reason why a young man
should go to sea?"
"Can't he get promoted if he is en
ergetic and capable?"
"Yes. The law will allow American
ships to take only American citizens
as officers. If the lad is energetic
and capable, as you say, he can, after
five or six years get promoted to a
second mate's berth. That means $o
a month more than the men before
the mast Here, look at this list"
The shipping list of the iron
schooner Josephine -was spread be
fore the questioner. Tho mate had
sicmed for 40 a month, the second
mate at $2o, one seaman at 20, four
at S18, the cook at S5. and an ordi
nary seaman at $14.
"That mate is a first-class man; he
has been to sea for years. The board
and lodging he gets on board are
about equal to what he'd got for $20
a month on shore. So he ranks the
mechanics who get $2.23 a day, with
this difference: The male works 12
hours a day, seven days in the week,
and the mechanic doesn't Is that
enticing to the energetic and capa
ble young man you told about?'
"But this is a coaster."
"Yes. The men before the mast on
the 'Frisco clippers get $16 instead of
$18 a month. That recalls another
thing. As soon as the vessel touches
the dock the men are called down be
low and are paid of " One may bo
kept for ship-keeper, but his pay does
not run on; he only gets his board.
Between the advance pay system,
which fattens the boarding-houses,
and the time he is idle, the sailor does
not handle as much money as the
tailor's apprentice. The Yankee does
not go to sea because he can do bet
ter on shore."
"If you are not making any sailors
where do the mates and captains
come from?'
"Many of them are naturalized for
eigners. The Americans come from
a certain class of coasters and fisher
men, who ship their crews among tho
neighbors of the owners in the small
ports where they belong. Some o
the captains do not know tar from
puttywhen they first go to sea. The
captain must have the money to buy
an' interest in the vessel before he
can get command of her, sailor or
not If he has enough money and
wants to sail, he can buy into a ship.
His first mate is then at onco com
mander and schoolmaster to the cap
tain until the captain learns how."
A black and white sign in front of
a South street hotel reads: "Want
ed, men for the U. S. Navy. Seamen,
$21.50; ordinary seamen, $17.50; fire
men. S3L50." Mr. Edwin C. Prevost
had charge of the naval shipping
'"Wo wmif nhtaKrcimpn mid ordnmrv
seamen,"' he said. "There are plenty !
of applicants at those wages, but they
are not men we can accept They
are not seamen as the term is under
stood in the naw. An ordinarv sea
man who would be accepted in the
navy would be an able seaman m the
merchant service. The ordinary sea
man in the navy must have had at
lcast three year's sea experience; tho
able seaman six to eight years. Ex
actly six out of seven applicants are
rejected by the medical examiners.
The chief causes are poor eyes and
poor teeth."
"How many of them aro Ameri
cans?" "I guebs I haven't had one. It
doesn't pay them to go to sea: the
are loo independent to stand the dis
cipline." "Is the food as jjood in the mer
chant service as in the navy."
"Better. That is, the quality is no
better, but the variety is greater."
"What chance has a boy to enter
the navy?'"
"All he wants. The training ships
are open to him. After New Year's
able seamen will get $21 in the nay'."
The chief officer of the United
States steamer Yantic was discussing
with some reporters the conduct of
the sailors at the time the Porteus
sank in the ice. "Do you havo any
trouble in getting good seamen in the
navy?" was asked of the officer. He
answered: "We do. There is no
trouble in getting men who can haul
on a rope, but able seamen whom we
can promote to petty officers are not
to be had." He would oxpress no
opinion on the cause of this condition
of affairs.
Another naval officer said: "The
apprentice are doing welt They will
have the first chance in promotions
to the warrant offices, but that is not
chance enough to fill the navy with
able seamen. Naval officcis will not
often admit it, but if the cadets at
the naval academy were all chosen
from among the apprentices who
could pas- a rigid examination after
three year's service, there would lo
something to induce boys of- energy
and ability to so to sea."'
"Wouldn't the failure of the many
who didn't get promoted drive them
from the navy?'
"No. They would get accustomed
to the manner of life, and the sailor's
instinct, with the new pay rates,
would keep them."'- N. Y.Snn.
Northern Pacific Note-..
New York, Jan. 2. Frederick Bil
lings called upon Villard yesterday
and had a long frafik -talk. Villard
was depressed in spirits. He told
Billings that he was wrecked finan
cially. The latter congratulated him
on the fact that this would deprive
his enemies of their strongest weapon
against him. Villard advised Billings
not to take the presidency mid there
ns some doubt wncincr ne aviu. au
depends upon the manner in which
the place is offered to Billings.
Billings is said to have parted with
none of his holdings of Northern Pa
cific, and retains full faith in the en
terprise. On account of his health
some of his friends think lie would
be unable to retain the presidency if
he accepted. He is credited with
saying: "It is lime the Northern Pa
cific should be separated in the pub
lic mind from the Oregon and Trans
continental, and from the general rep
utation of Villard slocks. I believe
it an ejusy mailer for the Northern
Pacific to earn- all its burden." Vil
lard has, up to this time, made no as
signment of property to the company.
Holmes, his legal . adviser, said he
owed the company nothing.
Wall street men at the Windsor ho
tel, and other up town resorts, yes
terday expressed opinions that Trans
continental stock was worth from
fifty next to nothing. Attention was
called to what was characterized as
important omissions in the statement,
and a lack of definite and detailed in
formation. Among ihe liabilities
that do not appear in the report, is
its guarantee of interest upon the $7,
400,000 of bonds of the uncompleted
Oregon and California railroad, and
of the 2 per cent dividend yearly
its $12,OOT),000 capital stock, for three
years from January 21.
Fabri is out in a card, denying the
interview which appears in the World
as having taken place witn mm, in
which he is made to say that his com
mittee contemplated proceeding a
gainst Villard to recover moneys aris
ing from stock sales. Fabri says: "I
avail myself of this opportunity to
say that while very grave mistakes
have been made by Villard, I have
yet to discover anything that would
reflect unfavorably on the integrity
of his actions or the honesty of his
motives in the management of prop
erties in his charge."
Some queer things happen during
tornadoes. A gentleman traveling in
Louisana was surprised by a .tornado,
and immediately afterward was
nelted liv catfish. One of the fish
knocked him down, and his horse ran
away. Several thousand of the fish
felt They had been scooped up by
the wind from a lake near by.

posterous to speak of the substantial
succes without intrinsic, unques

great pain-cure, is a most pronounced
example. Its immense sale is due to
its merits.
