The Tacoma News says editorially: "It
stems rather odd to speak of the steam
ship Oscar II. as 'she,' yet the time-honored
style of the sea will not allow the
use of he,' in strict accordance with the
gender of the name. To refer to an ocean
vessel as 'It' would no doubt be regarded
as an insult by seafaring men, who
are always more or .less romantic in their
rotlons. Therefore," in order to keep on
good terms with the aforesaid sea-faring
men, we will respectfully refer to the
Oscar as 'she,'
The examination into the causes lead
irg up to the recent collisions between
the steamers Harvest Queen and Lur
line, and the placing of the blame, Is
now going on in the office of United
States Inspectors Edwards and McDer
mott. There Is much feeling displayed
between Captain J. T. Gray, of the Lur
llne, and Pilot Turner, of the Harvest
Queen. Judging from the number of
witnesses present In the ante room, says
the Telegram, the examination will last
two or three days.
In the window of the Canadian1 Pacific
office, on Third and Alder streets, Port

representing of the eight quick-fire guns
carried by the ship. On a brass plate
attached is a description of the Empress
steamships as follows: Burthen, 6000
tons; length, 485 feet; breadth, 61 feet;
d'epth, 37 feet; twin screw,. trljrte expan
sion engines, of 10,000 horsepower. Speed,
19 knots. Water-tight bulkheads and dou
ble bottoms. The model is a splendid
piece of work and cost 12500. " t
Captain Walbran, of the Canadian gov
ernment steamer Quadra, during his last
northern cruise, located and examined
the following rocks in Barclay Saund,
not marked on the admrralty chart: A
dangerous rack entering the anchorage of
Village Island bay, Just eastward of the
position where 22 fathoms Is marked on
chart 582, with seven feet over it at low
water-; and two dipigerous nocks in
Coaster channel. The northern rock,
which dries at low water, bears from the
northernmost point of Owen's Island E.
S-4 N., magnetic, distant 41-2 cables, and
234 feet from the nearest rock to the
north-eastward. The southern .rock ls
very dangerous, being awash only at a
very low tide; it bears from the norther
most point of Owen's Island E. 1-2 S.,
magnetic, distant from the nearest shore,
of Owen's Island I 1-3 cables. All three
iccks are of smaJl extent and have deep
water around them.
The Tacoma Ledger thus describes the
coating of piles with a teredo proof com
position. This is in progress under
the Commercial wharf, and the plant
used is one put In by the Northern Pa
cific railroad to prepare all piles to be
used In the new wharves: A large stock
of timber Is placed on two trucks, one at
each end, end run under the slved. The
stick Is Jacked up so that it rests on
wheels on each truck, making It easy to
turn it over. Between the trucks, on e
track, are two cars;- one filled with hot
sand, and the other with the boiling com
position, made . chiefly or coal iar. Be

and throw it into the boiling composition.

position and is placed on the log. The
fifth man, with a brod wooden hoe,
smooths tile burlap on the log and scrapes
the surplus composition oacs jnio mo
cauldron as the log is revolved. Section
after section of the burlap is placed on
i.ntii th Ion- Ik covered for the desired
distance. Each man then fills his mouth
with tacks, seizes & hammer, ana in tnree
minutes the burlap Is securely tacked In
ni.M mho fir nt holllnff tar Is moved
to one side, and the car of hot sand takes
its place. Two men with swabs give tne
burlap another coat of composition, and
tha onHra urfac is dusted with the
sand. This completes the process of coat
ing. The log is hauled away to dry and
another takes Its place.
The San Francisco line of steamers to
the Orient is evidently feeling very large
ly the presemt competition of the Colum
bia river, Tacoma and Victoria with thelA
three opposition lines. The Examiner
shows 'this anxiety very plainly. It says:
"The Pacific Mall Steamship Company Is
casting about for some Wiy of Improving
the China and the Panama lines. The
steamship line established by the Cana
dian Pacific railroad company from Van
couver, the Northern Pacific railroad's
line from Tacoma, and now the new line
from Portland, have all cut Into the Pa
cific Mail company's China trade so that
something will have to be done to save
trade for this .port. The- officials of the
company have been figuring for some
months on Improving the service, and
while they have agreed upon a plan, the
details are yet to be completed, Two new
vessels are to be added to the China, line
and two of the present China line vessels
ere to 'be put on the Panama Jlne. The
average tonnage of 'the vessels on the
Panama line Is less than 2,500, while the
China, line steamers run from 4,000 to
5,000. The China and City of Pekln of the
China line are good1 vessels of the larger
tonnage, while the Peru and City of Rio
Janeiro are smaller. The latter are the
two vessels that will fall to the Panama
line when tlie change is made. Owing to
the shorter route the Canadian Pacific
is enabled to mak better time, and It is
rapidly coaxing away from San Francisco
the through travel to and from the Ori
ent. No one was quicker to see this than
General Manager Schwerln, and he was
determined to improve the China line.
To do this properly will require the build
ing jf two new fast vessel This will
take a year or more, so Mr. Schewerln
will charter suitable vessels until the
new ones can be constructed. The diffi

WILL INVESTIGATE.
The Floor of Engine House No, I in Bad
. Condition.
The committee on public property were
Instructed by the council last evening to
investigate the condition of the floor of
the engine house of Engine Company No.
1. This floor is but three years old and
Is in a completely rotten state. The rea
son Is attributed to a lack of ventilation,
causing what is called dry rot. The at
tention of several members of the depart
ment was first called to Its condition
last summer when one of the horses
in coming out of the stall in answer to
an alarm stepped on a, weak plank and
nearly broke Its leg. Since then the
floor has been patched several times, but
the same process of decay bas been going
on, until now, not only the floor, but the
sills and beam are In such bad con
dition that In many places one can stamp
a hole In with his heel. Now that ac
tion Is to be taken In the matter it will
undoubtedly result in a new and safe
floor being speedily put in.

The following communication, from the
principal of the Cedar Street School
Mr. T. J. Jackson, was received at the
Astorian office late Wednesday evening.
It was closely written In lead pencil on
both stdee of a number of pieces of ordi

left out from yesterdtay's) paper. The
manuscript was copred on a typewriter

. ' A WAY OUT.
The Presumed' DUemai With a False
Basis.
Some one, I do not know whether a
brother Christian, or not, is burning with
Indignation because lie cannot run Jack
son. I simply want Justice since this
matter has been agitated, - hence do not
feel disposed- to remain silent when such,
an article (I do not know its author) as
appeared in this morning's Astorian h,as
been scattered broadcast for people to
read. .
There was not a shad of fairness in the
whole article; it was venom from begin
ning to end and statements either abso
lutely wrong or greatly exaggerated fol
lowed one after the other throughout.,
My only purpose Is to correct these ven
omous errors.
The very beginning was wrong In that
It made the statement that the principals
met at my rooms at a time set by me, In
timating that I dldi it all what ever .in
convenience the others may suffer. The
statement should have been . that the
meeting was to have been In the evening
at 7:30 and the place was Indefinite after
a change was made to eult R. N. Wright
because he did not think o mention at a
previous meeting that the H. S. would
give a reception on that same evening.
I labored under the Impression that the
meeting was to be at our school
building and so Informed ou teachers
also the A class In the presence of the
B class. I even had Miss Dealy vacate
her room for us as my boys and girls
were busy doing assigned work; hence to
meet there would be confusion. A few
of my papers were ungraded and I set
to work expecting the gentlemen to be
present at 2 o'clock. I worked and waited
until 2:30, when I thought surely there
must be something wrong. So I sent Aus
tin Osburn to the Court St. school to
ask Mr. Wright why he did not come
or if I misunderstood the place. He
wenu as quickly aa convenient but
learned at that butlding that Mr. Wright
had gone to Mrs. Riuckers my place of
abode. Austin went there and found the
other principals there then came and re
ported same to me. I went soon arriving
perhaps an hour late. That tatemenb
was correct but I said nothing about for
getting the place of meetnlg only re
marked that I perhaps misunderstood.
My papers were lugged back to my room
from where I had carried them thinking
of the sohoolhouse &a the place of meet
ing. My best papers were assorted and
laid on the table after the best grade had
been announced. Mr. Williams took up
the Geography paper, scrutinized it very
closely which was right but said "Gen
tlemen this is wrong." as though a
whole question had beenjeft out. The
question asked for the advantages of the
Erie Canal. The answer was that com
modities could be taken directly through
the State of N. Y. without having to
go up the St. Lawrence River. Well, I
do not know, and could not 'Imagine how
he knew whether the pupil had In mind
a ship entering the mouth, of the river or
from the lakes but since she stated up
she must have had that In mind which
was as correct as to have said It the
other way. However he pronounced It
wrong, end demanded an Investigation
which was freely granted. Mr. Wright
grabbed up my papers as though It were
a concocted scheme and Mr. Clark, who
is a fair marker and In sympathy with
grammar grade pupils, took the other
contested papers and the work proceededr
Mr. Wright began marking so unfairly
that I protested several times, remark
ing that he was unfair. He marked even
to the construction of sentences of so
little Importance that none but those who
are versed In Rhetoric and Logic would
notice What does a grammar school
pupil know about Retoric and Logle.
What is the difference as long as a clear
cut answer is given: This I claimed and
this I defended. Mr,' Olark was fair with
the paper he had. If 'Mr, Wright had
afterwards graded the other papers with
the same severity I would have said
nothing. But I was given to understand
that ha (Wright) was grading those
papers and I must abide by the conse
quences. It past on) until he, this
Wright, graded off full percent for the
definition my pupil gave for a water-shed
-Tho'papers will speak for themselves
they still contain his markings any one
may see them. At this juncture l pro
tested quite radically against the grading.
In fact I became enraged t such bull
dosing as Mr. Wright was trying to force
upon me. But as to grabbing my papers
and leaving" the room, there was nothing
of the kind done. I left when the slash
ing had apparently ended but took no
papers then.
I had! thirteen papers In the C class
nd fourteen in the B class to keep up
with the examinations which was all I
could do, ' There were two misspelled
words overlooked In correcting the spell
ing list. The little girl Is an excellent
speller, not having missed but few words
during the entire year, and I glanced
over the words rather hastily and failed
to notice these two wards and the defini
tion of knowledge as called for. This of
course took off 3 per cent more than I
had graded off oa that subject leaving the
standing 91 per cent. I put it In place of
my first grade. As to word device A
synonym of the word was asked for
and In her haste she misspelled' the word
In mind I knew her thought and after
ward stleAed myself. In general I take
off f r too many misused or misspelled
words.
The very slight' and technical mistake
In grammar would have of Itself taken
off only a fraction of 1 per cent by actual
count. 1 took no particular notice of It
but to please this sage of Hi S I allowed
1 per cent to be deducted which still left
the little girl one-eighth per cent ahead.
Had It been Just even I Would have said
take It and well. But Instead of one this
Hi 8 bigot had graded off 'four or Ave.
I saw the tfodg Immediately and told the
gentleman that I had been dealt with un
fairly and that they could have the
affair to themselves and I would have
my own. What could be more fair than
this? The whole matter was an arrange
ment among ourselves and when the
Astorian speaks of my actions as insubor
dination, we wonder where he gets his
premises to draw such deduction. Per
haps Mr. Wright thinks he bas a pull
on the Astorian. (It may be that he has)
as he had on me. 1 would apologize
for this little sarcasm only I have been
provoked to It by this mountain molehill
raked up by the Astorian, which paper
I had grown to appreciate lni a measure,
never dreamlg that I would be forced to
defend myself against such an unkind
thrust.
I aided the Budget because I am In
terested In education, and in place of
throwing cold water on such an effort I
believe in fostering It. I would be will
ing to assist the Astorian In like issue.
If the Astorian thinks I have taken any
stand agofnst them they would do well to
please dlsbuse their minds. Yours truly,
T. J. JACKSON.
Later-June 27th.
'A friend advised me to keep out of this
newspaper controversy, but having had
u fair understanding with the Editor As
torian, I will answer the charges which
hv claims are Just and which I admitted
may be so in the eyes of an enemy or of
an Indifferent party who did mot know
the truth In the matter.
If the Astorian Is fair as he claims to
be all will be well, otherwise I will not
further engage myself in righting wrongs.
In the article of June 27th, the answer
to the First and Seventh must come from
my patrons, whom I know will deny
the assertions, because they have done
so already, with, the exception perhaps of
one or two. I cannot expect to please
all..
Second I am totally Ignorant of such
accusations and must know them before
an answer can be given;
Third, Fourth and Ninth are answered
partly In the preceding article; the pa
pers, which are on file, will show :onclu
slvely. Flfth.-'Being rushed, I allowed certain
of my best pupils of the B class none
Other to refer to the book and check
mark any mistake they may find. It
was a most excellent drill for them which
was piartially my purpose to give. These
KUDlls took great delight In the work.
and even asked to. do It. I went over the
papers making necessary changes, in most
cases allowing credits where book an
swers were not given exactly. And the
secrecy was only to keep pupils from
knowing their grades before the exami
nation was completed. I think It best
because of certain pedagogical tacts. Tne
other statements were facts.
Sixth If such a thing has been done, 1
am willing to bear my share of the blame,
To make an absolute gradation of all
pupils is Impossible and the same weak
complaint may be brought against any
principal.
Eighth I am sorry to nave mis state
ment to answer'. I can say that my at
tention relative to (Mr. Dickinson's Illness
and death, was constant and the daugh
ters of the deceased will corroborate this
statement. I did not attend the funeral
because of an unavoidable incident, but
met and Joined the procession md march
ed to the wharf.
Tenth While they may puzzle my pu
pils on some questions, I am willing to
test them comparatively with any other
same grade of our city schools. There
are certain dudIIs slow to grasp thoughts
and whose progress is truly not so rapid
as others but the grade will show and I
have all confidence in the ability of the
pupils as a whole who pass out from my
course of Instruction.
I do not choose to boast In this matter,
but the kindness shown me by my out
going class Is Indicative of the right spirit
that must exlBt between teacher 'and pu
pils. Further, if my readers could know
by some means, the tieart to heart talks
that I have had with my pupils relative
their manhood and future welfare and
could have felt the warm grasp of appre
ciation that I felt when the conversation
was concluded, they would be unwilling
from true conviction, to state that such
a criticism is Just. . . . .
The Eleventh, I suppose, will prove
Itself. I would say, however, that I have
no real cause to regret these attacks.
They only rub off the tarnish, leaving the
bright truth shining clearly to all who
seek equity. Yours Truly,
T. J. JACKSON.
