W ashington, Sept. £6.— In an official communication to Captain Emil Tranche, who was oomnmn<ftr o f the ill fated steamship Dakota, wrecked on Kinkone reef, ooaat of Japan, March 8 last, George Uhler, supervising inspect or general o f the stoamabi» inspection acTvioe, severely censures him on ac count of tha loaaof theshlp. The local board of staematcat Inspectors at Seat tle bad investigated the wtaok of tbs Dakota and suspended the license of Chptain Franoke for two yaara. The captain appealed to Supervising In spector General Uhler. M r. Uhler, after haring analysed thorough iy the evidence edduoed at the hearing, aaya In hie latter to Captain Franoke: “ I am forced to the conclusion that the stranding o f tha vessel and her sub sequent total lose was due entirely to your careless and indifferent naviga tion, as an hour before the disaster you ■assumed charge of the watch and took the bridge and directed the navigation o f the ship yourself. " I t Is evident from the testimony adduced at the In veatlgatlon that a large portion of the •hip remained above the water many -days, and yat within two hours from the tim e the ship struck she was totally abandoned, not a single man being left Skboard to protect her, and tha ship left a pray to thoaa who looted her without restraint and without meeting any pro tect from any o n e ." Law May Be Amended to Avoid Hard ship to Them. W ashington, Sept. 84.—The W ar department Will recommend to congress at tha coming session that an amend- mesii be made to the railroad rate la * , permitting the railroads to grant re- duced fare to members of ¿m ilice of era and enlistad man. Prior to the pesmge of the rate law, reduced fares were freuently issued in each oat- bat the Interstate Commerce com as held that tha new law w ill now prohibit a continúanos of the practice. This restriction bus worked great hardship on officers and men who have been ordered to 1er distant posts. There have been eases where companies and regiments stationed on the Atlantic coast have been ordered to the Philip pines. Transportation across the FÉ- eiSe is furnished by the government, but the men with families have been «em pelled to go into their pockets to the extent of about $100 for each mem ber of their fam ily, and this is a tre mendous tax, particularly upon non commissioned officers and enlisted men, whose fam ilies accompany them. There would appear to be considerable jostles in the claim of these men, for their change o f station la not of their choos ing, bat at the bidding of the depart ment, and the enactment of each an amendment is not altogether improlm- ble. Wu Ting Fang la Impeached. W ashington, Sept. 27. — Secretary B oot tqday received « cablegram from M inister Bockhlll at' Pekin notifying him of the appointment of W u Ting Fang as minister to Washington.
