A Man Who Believed the Waters of Salt Lake Would Rise and Reach His Locality. From the San Francisco Call. “One of the queerest and most surprising sights I ever saw in all my wanderings over the wilds of this country,” said E. C. Traver, a well-known prospector and civil engineer, a few days ago, “was a newly constructed brig lying on the floor of Death Valley. And it is there yet, so that any- body can see it. When I first saw it I was almost paralyzed. I could not believe my eyes, and thought I must have passed through some mental lapse and was not in Death Valley at all. But after gazing at the strange object a few minutes and then looking around me and seeing the wastes of burning sands and feeling the hot breath of the desert wind, I knew that everything about me was most realistically real. ‘It was by the merest chance that I ran across the vessel,” said Mr. Traver, “‘be- cause had I been a few feet further south I would never have seen it. You see, I had been working on the eastern side of the valley for several weeks without success and concluded to go to Mount Darwin, where I would at least be sure of expenses. I was crossing the valley at the northern end, which is quite narrow, but about the lowest spot on the earth's surface. I am not exactly certain, but I think that where the vessel ts located It is about 200 feet be- low sea level. After the first surprise had worn off I began to figure out how the craft came there. That the vessel was a relic of @ past age never entered my head for a moment, because it was constructed on per- fectly modern lines, and the wood had a yellow appearance, indicating that it had not been cut very long. 1 am something of a sailor myself, and the first glance told me that it was the work of some modern ship- builder, but that only made the mystery greater. A Complete Ship. “Going close I made a careful examina- tion of my strange find. It proved to be a perfect brig of about 400 tons that had never been in the water. Everything about it was of the best style of workmanship and showed plainly that the builder had put forth his best efforts. The keel was laid flat on the sand and the sta>board side placed up against a small reef of rocks. The port side was supported in the usual manner. Climbing on the deck by a small rope ladder I found everything in ship shape. The decks were as clean and white as a man-of-war’s, and every rope in its place. Entering the cabin I found every- thing neat and clean and several bunks with bedding ready to sleep in. Such a thing, however, would have been imposst- ble, as the heat was simply unbearable,and I had to go to the door gasping for breath before I had completed my investigation. The more I looked the more interested and mystified I became. It was plain the brig had been built where she was, but by whom. and for what? “I spent the whole afternoon climbing over the vessel. I went into the rigging and looked over the surrounding count-y, but could see no sign of a human being. When night came on I concluded to camp near by, but had no sooner got fixed com- fortably when a voice from somewhere called: ‘Good evening.’ You may be sure I jumped, as my nerves were feeling a little weak through my ‘strange afternoon's ex- perience. There was no need to be alarmed, though, for a good-natured looking man with gray hair and beard was smiling at me. Of course, I at once concluded that he knew something about the brig. I wi: right, and in a few moments he explained the whole thing to me, and also showed to what ends a foolish idea will drive a man. ‘The Mystery Explained. “He said that his name was Frederick Evans; that he was a shipbuilder by trade, and one of the California pioneers of 49. He had neve> made a big strike, but had always kept prospecting, and when the water rose in Salton Lake a few years ago he was at work in the mountains around Death Valley. It was then that he got it into his head that ths water would event- ually reach that local! and he was de- termined to have the first vessel afloat in the new sea. Evans was not a poor man, but had enough money to hire a couple of men to help him lay the keel of the vessel, put in the masts and do the other heavy work. At first the work was pushed rap- idly, but when the wate> commenced to re- cede Evans took things easy and did a! the work himself, because he thought th water would not come again for a year. He has been disappointed every year since, but still thinks that Death Valley will be- come a sea and he is ready for it. “I was well treated by Evans,” said Mr. Traver, in concluding. “He took me to his abode, which ® deep cave a few feet from the brig, with a delightful tempera- ture. I stayed with him two days and found him a well-educated man and ¥ interesting, but when I left him his words were: ‘When the water rises I will be ready for !t.’* +e+—______ Support of Immigrants. The steamship companies which have been contending for weeks that they should not be compelled to pay the board of detained immigrants at Ellis Island, N.Y., capitulat- ed yesterday, and several of them did so withcut protest. It was the contention of the steamship officials that they should not pay the expenses of the steerage passen- gers who were detained on account of the tardiness of relatives, poverty or because they were thought to be undesirable as cit- izens.

TIME OF THE WINNER ROCHE’S POINT, Queenstown Har- bor, July 24.—Vigilant and Britannia started this morning on their twelfth race, with prospects of good racing weather, in the first day's reign of the regatta of the Royal Cork Yacht Club. The course today was the same as that sailed over yesterday with the exception that the finish, instead of being at the Spit light, at the head of Queenstown har- bor, as yesterday, is at the regular finish line of the club, between the club house and No. 1 buoy, thus giving an extra turn to the yachts, making nine turns in all, against eicht turns yesterday. The first leg, to Poor Head flag boat, was five and one-half miles long; the second, to Daunt's Rock lightship, was five and one- half miles in length, and the third, to Roche's Point flag boat, measured about four and three-quarter miles. Tnen after sailing three times around this course the yachts had to sail an extra four miles or so up the harbor and up the river, turning sharply to port, to finish off at the Royal Cork Yacht Club's headquarters. The prize competed for by the racers toduy was $500, offered by the club. There was a large at- teniance of sightseers at all the points commanding the course, and the fleet of yachts present was reintorced by a number of additional arrivals from England, to- gether with a few foreign yachts, including two craft flying the French flag. Conspicuous amid the contingent of naval and muiitary men was Rear Admiral Henry C. St. John on the gunboat Arbacore. An Excellent Start. The breeze just previous to the start was from the northeast, and while it was softer than yesterday, when the yachts averaged about ten knots per hour over the course, yet it promised to be steadier. An excellent Start was made shortly after 10:30 a.m., the two yachts getting away in fine shape, with Vigilant in the weather berth coming out under Roche's Point. Vigilant crossed the line broad on the Britannia’s port beam, but slightly later both yachts had their jib topsaiis ready for the reach to Poor Head, and both sported jack yarders. The times at starting were: Britannia, 10h. i Vigilant, 10h., 34m., 10s. Vigilant and Britannia ran along almost close hauled on the way to Poor Head, but the Vigilant soon pushed to the front and had gained a length on the Britannia be- fore a mile of the course had been covered. This caused Capt. Carter of the Britannia to attempt one of his now familiar little maneuvers for advantage. He suddenly passed around under the Vigilant’s stern and iried to take her weather. Capt. Haff, however, here had a nice little slice of luck, for the Vigilant cavght a stronger puff of wind, increased her head and prevented the Britannia from getting her weather. At the first flag boat off Poor Head, on the first round, the times of the two yachts were: Vigilant, 10h. Sim., 45 Britannia, 10h., 58m., 238. The Vigilant led by 38s. at the first mark. The Vigilant Leading. The first part of the race to Daunt’s Rock on the first round was clear before the wind. Both yachts had their spinnakers out to ctarboard. But the sheets were drawn in after a while as the wind veered around northward. The breeze had then weakened slighily, and the Britannia be- gan overhauling the Vigilant until she was within a couple of lengths of the American yacht. The latter, however, drew out again, and, getting a little more wind, in- creased the gap to six lengths on nearing the light ship, which was passed in the fol- lowing times: H. M. 8. Vigilant .... + ll 30 O1 Britannia 11 ww 50 The Vigilant led by forty-nine seconds at this point, against thirty-eight seconds at the end of the previous leg, a gain of eleven seconds on the cutter. The spinnakers had been downed for turning the last mark, and from there it was a beat to Roche's Point. The Britannia profited by yesterday's ex- perience with the tides, and today worked a much more easterly tack. Both yachts stood on a long leg up channel, with the breeze more easterly and with jib topsails still aloft. The Vigilant did not break tack until a couple of miles from Roche's Point flagboat, and then she crossed the Britan- nia’s bow, many lengths ahead. The breeze freshened and the gap between the two yachts was increased until they stayed around the mark boat, where the Vigilant was half a mile ahead. The first round w completed in the following times: Vigilant .. Britannia .. Suited the American Vessel. The Vigilant here had a lead of 2m, 29s., against 49s. at the lightship, a gain of Im. 40s. It was a close hauled reach to Poor Head flagboat on the second round, the Vigilant getting the first of a strong north- east breeze off the land, and going very fast. The Britannia caught this breeze lat- ez, but it was less strong and she appear- ed to be falling further behind. The yachts bore along gloriously close hauled to Poor Head, the strong land breeze keeling both boats over to starboard until the lower por- tion of their sails were at times under wa- ter, while the seas hissed along far above their lee rails. This state of affairs seemed to suit the Vigilant in every wa tere along, trying her smaticst jib topsail, while the Lritannia had haul_d hers down. The Vigilant at this st: of the race co tinued to gain and tt was estimated that if the wind held good, as ft promised to do, she would win easily. The Poor Head flag- beat on the second round was passed as Hows: Vigilart, 12h. 35m. 42s. Britannia, is. y, and she ‘onsequently lost 12s. of her but she was still 2m. 17s. itter. Spinnakers were set afier the Poor Head flagboat The wind continued fresh, and the two yachts raced aiong merrily. When nearing Daunt's Rock on the second round booms were gibed to starboard and the spinnakers had to be put to port for a slight change in the wind. Then the spin- nakers were lowered on rounding the mark and small jib topsails were run up for the fetch to Roche's Point flagboat. On the second round Daunt’s Rock lightship was d in the following times: Vigilant, . 10m. 403. Britannia, 1h. 12m. 42s. On this leg it will be'seen the Britannia had crept slightly ahead and cut down the Vigilant’s iead from 2m. iis. to 2m. 2s. Both yachts came toward the harbor with cany: ell filled and eailing grandly as they ran close to shore. The second round was completed with the Vigilant holding a good lead. The two yachts were timed as follows: Vigilant, 1h. 40m. 10s. Britannia, th. 43m, 29s. ahead of | | | A Long Le: It will thus be seen that the Vigilant had increased her lead to 3m. 19s., against a lead of 2m. 2s. at the last mark, showing that she had gained Im. 17s. on the last leg, and that she had gained 1m. 50s. on the round. On the third round Poor Head flag- boat was passed with the Vigilant a mile ahead. The times were: Vigilant, 2h. Sm. 16s. Britannia, 2h. lum. dis. _ At this mark’ Vigilant was 4m, 25s. ahead of the cutter, showing a gain of Im. 6s. on the last leg. “After gibing round Poor Head flagboat, spinnakers were run out to port for a run before a full breeze to Daunt’'s Rock lightship, the Vigilant keeping a long lead on the Britannia. The two yachts rounded Daunt’s Rock on the third round in a heavy rain squall, which made it {m- possible to time them.’ They then stood in for Roche's Point with the Vigilant main- taining a long lead. On the third round Roche's Point was passed as follows: Vigi- lant, 3h. n. Os. Britannia, Sh. 21m. 45s. ‘Thus the American yacht began the har- bor distance with Prince of Wales’ a lead of 6m. 45s. on the cutter and was looked upon as being an easy winmer, and as of- having well deserved her vetory. The Vigilant Wins, \ The times of the two yachts at the finish were: Vigilant,, 3 houfs 513:minutes 59 sec- onds, Britanaia, 8 hours 56 miutes 31 sec- onds. The Vigilant won by 4 minutes 32 seconds, without counting time allowance, and by 3 rairutes 22 seconds if the estimated time allovarce which she gives the Britannia, 1 minute 10 seconds, is Ceducted. The score now stands 9 to 3 in favor of the Britannia. —_.>_—. “RUN AWAY FROM WORK.” Gov. MeKinley Conferring With Po- Htical Friends in Cleveland. CLEVELAND, Ohio, Juiy 24.—Gov. Wm. McKinley of Ohio, ex-Gov. Wm. M. Morrian of Minnesota and ex-Gov. Russell Alger of Michigan are all guests at the present time of Mark A. Hanna of this city. There is more or less gossip in circulation to the ef- fect that the three gentlemen have met here in conference, and that the meeting has considerable political significance, or, in other words, that Governor McKinley's presidential possibilities are under con- sideration. To an Associated Press re- porter who called at Mr. Hanna’s res- idence, however, the latter declared that the presence of the three gen- tlemen named had no especial significance. “Then you have not lost faith in Gov. Mc- Kinley’s political future?” Mr, Hanna was asked. : “Not in the least. I have every cause to hope that a republican President may suc- ceed the present executive and I believe the trend of political events points very strongly to Gov. McKinley being the man. The democrats certeinly seem to be doing all they can to help things along.” “Who do you think will be selected to fill out the ticket in the event of Gov. McKin- ley’s nomination?” “Oh, that is too far away to talk about. If you have ever attended a national con- vention you know combinations are made on_very short notice sometimes.” Gov. McKinley wes next seen, and when asked if his visit had any political signifi- cance said: “Oh, no, none whatever; I have just run away from my work for a little while, that’s all.” THE LABOR SITUATION, Notes of Interest From Various Parts of the Country. OAKLAND, Cal., July 24.—It is announced that the California jute mills will close per- manently on Wednesdy. A large number of Chinese and Portuguese will be thrown out of employment.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 24.—The rate of reinsurance on the British ship Cumbrian Chieftain has gone up to 85 per cent, which 1s equivalent to giving her vp as lost. It is now feared that she and the gallant crew that went to her rescue from the Dee have all gone down. Stee There is no news of the Britizh ship Golin- trave, and the general impression Is that her name will have to be added to the long lst of missing vessels. She was bound from Newcastle, N. S. W., fot San Francisco, and was never sighted after shé left part. The rate of reinsurance on her‘is 83 per cent. Some little apprehension is’ being express- ed for the British ship Shandon, which is now 133 days out from Calcutta. While this is not a very lang voyage, still it is longer than the average. When the Lao- mone out 120 days the wildest kind of rumors were afloat absut her, and reinsur- ance was up to 40 per'cent. The Laomone got in fifteen days later, by which *.me the rate on her had advaneei to 50 per cent. ee They Want Mr. Conn, LAPORTE, Ind., July 24.—A meeting of the democratic congressional convention of the thirteenth Indiana district will be held at South Bend today to take action on the declination of Congressman Conn. There is a disposition on the part of the demo- crats to demand that Mr. Conn make the race, notwithstanding his pronounced op- position to President Cleveland and his policy. The claim is made that the prin- ciples. which he advocates are democratic in theory. If Mr. Conn refuses to make the race a new convention will be at once called. Otis D.

A reward of $500 was offered for his y, and Checota and Narcome yesterday waylaid and killed him for the reward, — Low Price for’ Sealskins. SAN FRANCISCO, July 24.—Despite the larga catch of seals in' the Japan sea, the owners of sealing schooners will not make as much money as they expected, because of the low price of sealskins. reported thus far was 50,000 skins. Lamp- son & Company of London rule the seal- skins market, and they cabled last night to ‘Frisco that they wouid advance only $5 on skins. This is the lowest advance ever known, and is a sure sign that the price later in the season will be the poorest een since the sealskin became fashion- able. paula Said to Be Cholera.

National Commandery, United Order of the Golden Cross, met last evening at its new hall, No. 621-623 Louisiana avenue. Mrs. Belle M. Carter, noble commander, presided, and announced the eppointment of the following committees: On finance— W. L. Wilkerson, Jas. Lewis and W. F. Carter; on good of the order—R. H. Yates, Mrs. Lillie A, Edelin, Mrs. V. C. Lewis, Leslie R. Trembly and W. F. Carter. No other business of importance was transact- ed. The hall has been furnished expressly for the work of the order. The stations of the officers, the altar and the pedestal for the cross are beautifully finished in cherry, the emblem of the order being inlaid with variegated wood in the pedestal on the four sides. Large oak chairs have been provided for the members. In the rear of the main hall a rvom has been fitted up for ban- quets, which ts arranged so that It can be thrown open if needed to enlarge the main. hall. The officers appeared last evening in evening dress, and presented a handsome appearance. During the evening a number of visitors appeared, among whom were Grand Commander Perry, Grand Keeper of Records Graham, Past Grand Commander Groot, Noble Commander Conover of Good- will Commandery, Knight Venable of Mt. Vernon Commandery and others. Refresh- ments were served under the direction of the committee on the good of the order. This commandery was instituted May 21, Iss8, with a charier list of forty-two mem- bers, and now numbers 198, the largest in the jurisdiction. Past Grand Commander R. H. Yates has the honor of having been the most powerful helper of Grand Com- wander Ehle in the organization of this commandery. Taking his withdrawal card from St. John’s Commandery, he began his work in the Fifth Baptist Chureh, of which he is an earnest and consistent member, and the result was a charter list of forty- two members. The ladies of this command- ery have been energetic in the work of bringing In new members. Mrs. Annie L. Allen, the present vice noble commander, succeeded in obtaining upward of forty new members during the last term. The meet- ings of this commandery are more largely attended than any other commandery in the jurisdiction, frequently having over half of its members present. At the last election the two highest offices in the com- mandery were given to ladies—Mrs. Belle M. Carter as noble commander and Mrs. Annie L. Allen as vice noble commander. The music of the commandery is a promi- rent and pleasing feature of the meetings, and is in charge of Miss Minnie M. Lewis, organist; Mrs. Angie C. Bateman, soprano; Miss Fannie Carter, alto; Frank M. Ash- ford, tenor, and J. Bright Handy, as basso, assisted by a large choir. The business end of the commandery since its organization has been in charge of Leslie R. Trembly, noble keeper of records; Jos. HB. Bailey, financial keeper of records, and R. H.Yates, treasurer, to whose energy and ability the success of the commandery is largely due. Under the good of the order the follow- ing program was presented: “The Old Oak- en Bucket,” by the commandery quartet; vocal solo, “Sweet Marie,” by Frank M. Ashford; vocal solo, by Mrs. Angie C. Bate- man; recitation, by Miss Lizzie Howison; humorous speech, by M. L. Venable. At a late hour the members and guests joined in singing “God Be With You 'Till We Meet Again,” and the evening’s enjoyment w: closed. At the regular meeting of Goodwill Com- mandery last evening Noble Commander Nelson Conover presided, and appointed the following committees: On finance—Howard Larcombe, Philip H. Branson and Frank R. Johnson; on good of the order—Dr. S. I. Groot, Miss Adelaide Payne, Mrs. Mattie Johnson, Mrs, Inazella F. Jones and Mrs. Mary E. Goss. Interésting remarks under the good of the order were made by Grand Commander Perry, Past Grand Commander Gecrge Redway and Knights Dr. Burton Macafee, J. W. Cheney, Benj. F. Moore, Edward Steer, W. H. Schell, Jas. G. Thomp- son and others. Miss Adelaide Payne of this commandery is sojourning for a month at Reading, Pa., as the guest of Mrs. De B. Randolph Keim. oo LIQUOR DEALERS EXCLUDED. General Order to the Conference of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. At the general meeting of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, held on Sunday even- ing in the Cathedral school, 111 East 50th street, New York, President Jeremiah Fitz- patrick of the Superior Council of New York announced that the Coucil General of the society, in Paris, had prohibited the admission to membership of any one en- gaged in the liquor business. The state- ment was received with great applause by the representatives of the fifty-seven New York conferences who were present. The president of the socicty is reported in the New York Sun as saying that “the objection to liquor dealers in our organization is particularly strong. Our work is altogether of a charitabie nature, and in carrying it on every member is expected to do his share of active service. We have in this city 1,200 members,who are all active work- ers and weekly contributors. Not one re- ceives a salary. Last winter we had 10,000 families on our relief rolls. Now, we do not regard liquor dealers as just the proper persons for carrying on this work. For in- stance, a saloon keeper can hardly make an effective agent in rescuing an unfortunate man from the evils of intemperance, and intemperance is one of the evils we hi to meet. So far as our society is concerned, the stand against liquor dealers will be firm, and the rule against them will be strictly carried out.” ——_-—+e+____. THE COURTS.

From the Chicago Herald. I have just heard a story from the White House. A deputation from Colorado called on the President and told him they had ar- ranged for a bear hunt in their state for the President and his cabinet. The delegation was headed by Secretary of Agriculture Morton, who introduced the members. The speaker, in an eloquent way, characteristic of the boundless west, drew an animated picture of the sport in which the President was solicited to take part. The President listened attentively, and after others in delega' ito up on the ‘hill that occupy u time you gentiemei have at my disposal.
