Did you consider the ship in danger before those {ast three seas came? No, sir. Thomas_Grace, seaman, was the next witness. His testimony was as follows: “We left Manzanillo about4 ».3x.; pretty ood weather. About 10 p. M. it began to blow and the captain said take in the awnings. After 6 in the morning the gale increased until about9. Then the wind went down a little, and at 10 minutes after 10 I was abreast of the pilot-house. At 10:30 the ship was lying on her side and a bi; sea carried three lifeboats away an knocked me down. Istayed there about three minutes after I got hurt and then I rolled into the smoking-room.

There were two otherson the wreck and it capsized with the force of the wind and sea half a dozen times. We did the best we could and then my friend dis- appeared. It blew so heavy that he couldn’t hold on. [ was hurt by the wreck- age. gllnw long have you been going to sea? About eighteen years. Did you notice three big seas? Yes, sir. Atthe last one she conldn’t get up any more. I;id you think the ship in any danger before these big seas? No, sir. She was managed as good as could be and no one thought the ship would go down. Could the boats have been Jowered? No, sir. The waves came so fast we couldn’t lower them, and she sank so quick all we could do was to jump overbowrd. How long have you been in that ship? Six months; and she behaved as well last trip as ever she did. Phillips—Did you work cargo in Manzanillo? No, sir. I was notin the hold. ‘Was there an explosion? It would take heavy pieces of wreck | ouse. That was all Was everything possible done to save life? Yes, sir; evervthing possible was done. ymond Aviles, engmeer's storekeeper, tes- tified as follows: '“I don’t know anything ex- cept it started blowing at 10 o'clock the night after leaving Manzanillo. The ship was roll- ing from one side to the other. Then we started to work st 6 o'clock and worked till a quarter to 11. Then I went on deck becaunse chief engineer sent me to call ali hands below. At that time we couldn’t go down because the ship was full of water. Then I saw that the ship was going down. A wave struck off the hurricane gech Everything was all going to pieces and I tried to get a piece of lumber to swim with, and I couldn’t.” How was everything in the engine-room? Everything was all right and the engines were all right, but they were working slow-—we kept that way all night. }\mi you hear any bells to increase the speed? No, sir. Ho' long after you were sent on deck before the ship went down? About fiftcen minutes. I watched the clock and it was a quarter to 11. Did you see any of the enginecrs or firemen come up from below? No, sir. Did you see any escaping steam? No; Tsaw some steam, but I think iv came from 'the safety valve. How long have you been a fireman? About twelve years, Did you hear any whistles? Yes, sir; I heard one and then two. Igoton the outside of the ship. She was on her beam ends. I got on apiece of lumber. such a storm in all my life, and I gales on the coast.

No, sir; there was no sail set, Was it possible to set sail and have it stand in that gale? No, sir; it would not. If her spanker was set would she come up in the wind? No eail wonid stand in that gale 2 minute. If the sail would stand she would have come up. lD]’(’l you ever see it blow as heavy anywhere else? No, sir; not even around Cape Horn. The inquiry was then postponed until next Monday at 2 p. M. THE POLICE COMMITTE It Recommends Provision for an Enlarged Force of Policemen. Lleutenants WIll Be Appolnted. Chalrman Benjamin on the Old City Halli. Chief of Police Crowley appeared be- fore the Health and Police Committee of the Board of Supervisors yesterday morning to explain the necessity of an in- crease in the police force according to the communication from the Police Commis- sioners. He thought 125 more men were necessary to properly patrol the City. The communication from the Commissioners asked the board to make provision in the tax levy for the pay for this number of men. Chief Crowley also stated thatan addi- tional captain should be appointed, also three additional detectives and five new sergeants. He thought the rank of lieu- tenant ehould becreated. Three sergeants— Hanna, Whitman and Helms—were acting as assistant captains, and he thought they should be given the title of lieutenant with a salary of $140 a month. Upon motion of Supervisor King the suggestions of the Chief were agreed to and the committee adopted a report recom- mending that the police force be increased by the appointment of 125 additional police officers, the number authorized by law, and in favor of amending section 23 of Order No. 1603, relating to the Police De- partment, so that the force shall consist of 600 officers and men, consisting of six cap- ns at salaries of $150 per month, five lieutenants at $140 per month, forty-five sergeants at $125 per month, fifteen de- tectives at $125 per month and twelve cor- porals at $117 per month. The committee also recommended the passage of a resolution instructing the Finance Committee to include the sum of $157,000 in addition to the present levy to pay the salaries required by this increase of the force. Chairman Benjamin yesterday had a conference with J. J. Rauer concerning the old City Hall and its continued occu- pancy asa station and lock-up until the newly leased quarters on California street are fitted up. e reported that Mr. Rauer had no intention of carrying out his pre- viously expressed intention of cinching the City with a big charge for rents. On the contrary, he offered to allow the City the use of the cells as long as may be ne- cessary for the lump sum of $40. “It was no fault of this committee that the contract was so loosely drawn as to put the City in the ({msition of being taken advantage of,”’ said Mr. Benjamin. “We are not supposed to know that the Police Department wants a new lock-up until they come and tell us. The Mayor should have seen that the coatract was all right.” MISSIONARY EXTENSION. A School to Be Held at Elim Grove, Cazadero, This Summer.

TALKING FOR MILLIONS, Heavy Argument in the Gov- ernment Suit Against Mrs. Stanford. JUDGE MCcKISICK CONCLUDES. The Demurrer Will Be Submitted to Judge Ross for Declsion on Monday. One more argument and the case of the United States vs. the Stanford estate will be in the hands of the court for decision. Judge McKisick finished his argument at noon yesterday against the demurrer of Mrs. Jane Stanford, and Monday morning Judge Garber will again address the court in one last appeal to throw out the complaint drawn under the direction of Attorney-General Olney. ‘When Judge Garber finishes it will re- main with Judge Ross to decide whether or not the main case may proceed. Should he decide to sustain the demurrer it is more than likely that the suit will never come up again, and such decision will be a practical victory for Mrs. Stan- ford. On the other hand, should the find- ing be the other way the main case will proceed and oceans and oceans of testi- mony as to the workings of the Centra! Pacific Company and the dealings of its directors with the Government will be given. It will be one of the greatest suits ever handled in the courts of the United States and will attract attention through- out the civilized world. The argument on the demurrer so far has been learned, if not. brilliant forensi- cally, and great things are expected from Judge Garber Monday in his closing for the respondent. It is felt that Judge Mec- Kisick has presented a masterful case for the Government, covering every part that could possibly have been foreseen and showing a breadth of acquaintance with authorities which is simpldy appalling to the lay mind. He resumed his argument ijesterdn y morning by the statement that he would undertake to show that the debt of the stockholders of the Central Pacific Railroad was not a statutory one and that the liability of the stockholders was irrevo- cably fixed by the constitution. This wouid place the stockholders in the same position as any other creditor of the United States, to be treated in exactly the same way. Following out the same line of argu- ment and taking the undisputed maxim that “no time runs against the sovereign,”’ Judge McKisick held that the argument in favor of the provision in the law of 1850, upon which so much stress had been Iai by Judge Garber, that suit on any liability oI a stockholder of a corporation must be instituted within three years, must fail. He then read and took up in detail the Thurman act of 1878, showing in every sec- tion the intention of Congress to collect the debt owing to the Government by the stockholders of the Central. Pacific. In the second section, for instance, it provides that the whole amount of the compensa- tion which may from time to time be due to the railroad companies for services ren- dered to the Government, shall be re- tained by the United States, one- hali thereof to be applied to the payment of the bonds. And the last section is spe- cific of the intentfon ot the framers of the act; “Each and every of the provisions of this act shall be held as an alteration and amendment of the act first mentioned.” “The three acts,” said Judge McKisick, “‘of 1862, 1864 and 1878, are, therefore, to be construed together as one act, the one part to be construed by the other. “The Central Pacific Railroad Com- Eany." he continued, ‘‘did not begin to uild until January, 1863, and in_ 1864 it went to the Government and asked for the act of 1864 to grant it further rights and privileges, and asked that instead of hold- ing all of the moneys due for transpor- tation from the United States only one- half should be held; and the most im- portant part, they asked that instead of the Government’s bonds being first lien on the road the railroad company should have the right to mortgage the road and issue its own bonds, to be a first lien on the road. *‘All this was done by Congress. After that the work progressed, the road was builded, and in 1878, eight years after the roads were builded, came the Thurman act. I was surprised to hear the argument from the other side that the Government had ample security; and yet, by the very terms of the Thurman act, it appears that the Government had not sufficient secur- ity. It appears that Congress became ap- prehensive of the amount of money the road would have to pay, and.thus came the Thurman act.” Judge McKisick then drew the attention of the court to sections 10, 11, 12 and 13 of that act and continued : I recali to your mind the fact that the demurrer suggests that the only remedy the Government had to enforce the liability of these railroads was to take possession of them. I want to say, in this connection, that the Thurman act absolutely repealed the act of 1862, so far as it authorized the Government to take possession of the roads. That repealing clause is in section 11—not in so many words, but in phrase- oloiy, repealing all "acts inconsistent there- with."” Bection 10, according to Judege McKisick, authorized the Attorney-General, by broper proceedings, to take such steps as might be necessary to turn the road over to the See- retary of the Treasury. The latter part of section10 is very similar in_ provisions to the act of 1873, which made it the duty of the Attorney-General to begin proceedings by bill in equity against the Union Pacific Company and all other companies under the act which had come into possession of property they had no right to retain. “Now,”” said Judge McKisick, ‘‘can any- body say, upon reading section 10 of this act, that the Government of the United States released anybody; that the Gov- ernment of the United States did not in- tend to enforce any right it had against anybody who was responsible to act for any money loaned these railroad corpora- tions? The language of that section posi- tively negatives any such idea. And, then comes section 11, which‘})o_sltively nega- tives the power of the ited States to take possession of any such roads. = geny with emphasis that the United States could take possession of any of these roads; I say with absolute con- fidence that the United States could not, under section 10 or any other section, by judicial process, forfeit any right, or fran- chise, or’ progerty. of the Central Pacific Railroad of California or of the Central Pacific Railroad Company. Every priv- ilege, right and franchise, every bit of property the Central Pacific has, it owns and has paid for,as I have said before, and if the United States should come into court by the Attorney-General and try to enforce a forfeiture, the Central Pacific Railroad Company would say: ‘This is my property; you cannot wrest it from me, because you are not my sovereign. I owe lym:l no allegiance, and my sovereign would protect me. You cannot come here and wrench this property from me by these forfeiture proceedings.’ ‘1 say that that proposition is absolute, if your Honor please, because the Supreme Court said so in these sinking fund cases, not with regard to these franchises, but with regard to all the property the railroad companies had obtained under these fran- chises.”” Judge McKisick called the attention of the court to the difference of the relation held by the Government toward the Cen- tral Pacific and to the Union Pacific. It was the creditor of the former, while to the latter it held a dual relation, that of part- ner and ivor. Against the Central Pacific it, therefore, had no more rights than against any other citizen. It was asked, he said, by counsel for the respondent, wh{ Congress had not imposed a personal liability upon the stockholders of the roads. “Why should Congress do anything of the kind?” exclaimed Judge McKisick. “‘Congress dealt with the stockholders, not with that impersonal thing, a corporation. It was dwelt upon, too, that if the Govern- ment wanted to bind these stockholders as personally liable why did not Congress in- sert that in the agreement? If that be the case, if Congress intended to release the stockholders from liability, why did it not ut that in the agreement? Tt was not one, but, on the contrary, in 1878 Congress did say, ‘Preserve these rights, whatever they may be.’” Talking to the demurrer, Judge McKis- sick took up the third ground and stated that it was clearly argumentative, with the argument unsound. The fourth, fifth and sixth grounds, he said, attempted to show limitation by laches. Arguing upon this allegation, he stated as a clear proposition of law that laches were not imputable to the Government. In all the cases reported in the United States but two were in exist- ence where the claim had been set up that the Government was barred by the statute of limitations, and in both the decision had been prompt that the statute did not lie as against the Government. This lack of cases, Judge McKisick pointed out, showed a general opinion throughout the country that there is no ground for a change of opinion. “We have these simple propositions,” said Judge McKisick, concluding: ‘“Ihat the testator, whose administratrix is respondent here, was a stockholder in the Central Pacific when the debt was incurred to the United States. Under the constitu- tion and laws of the State of California that debt became the debt of the stookholders; that debt was not only created by the constitution, buv it was founded upon contract also. A portion of that debt has matured. All of it has not accrued, but the United States is attempt- ing to enforce the proportion of the liability of the decedent, and the simple question is whether or not there can be found any- thing in the acts of Congress or the laws of California which make an_exception in favor of this respondent. I say, with all respect to the argument pressed upon yon, that nothing of the kind can be found in these laws. On the contrary the act of 1878 absolutely preserves every right which the Government had against everybody and anybody connected with these corpo- rations, and nothing in the constitution or laws of California impairs that right or can defeat it. “With this I will submit this cage.” Judge McKisick sat down and his Honor asked counsel for respondent if they were ready to proceed. Judge Garber said he would like to have a little time to look over the authorities submitted by Judge McKisick. There was no objection ana court adjourned till Monday morning at 11 o'clock ‘when the arguments will be resumed. DUR WINES IN LONDON. An English Wine Merchant’s Opinion of California Products. He Belleves That With Proper Care They Have a Bright Future Abroad. Randolph Payne, an English gentleman who visited this coast some seven years ago, arrived from the old country a few days since, Mr. Payne is a London wine merchant, his house having for many years occupied the position of furnishing the wines used at Marlborough House and St. James Palace. “There is a certain future for California wines in England,” said Mr. Payne, *where they are much preferred to the Australian product. It is, to my mind, simply a question of price and their proper introduction. I mean to say that they are listed altogether too high. For example, in Scotland I have paid as high as 6 shil- lings English money for a burgundy from California. This figure is higher than Beaune, which brings 4 shillings the quart and which is a more matured wine. We find very little California still wines in the London clubs. French red wine of a fair quality will sell for 3 shillings a bottle. Now the zinfandel, when found there, is much higher. “I do not know of any London agency of California wines. There may be a few, but they have not made themselves prominent. In fact therei. no attempt there, as far as has come under my observation, to push the wines of this country. There is far more body in your California wines thanfthe vin ordinaire we drink in London. But your wines want rnckinf. They are too green. They are not kept long enough in cask. “Of the California champagnesin London 1 have seen nothing. They are almost an unknown quantity there. The public know nothing about them. On the other hand the Australians seem to me to be pushing their wines. Our house has re- ceived a number of samples of Australian still and sparkling wines,. and my father, who has been a gentleman of Her Majes- ty’s, wine cellars for over thirty-four years, hasmever during that time received a sin- gle sample of California wines. “In his position as buyer of wines for the Prince of Wales he may have furnished his Royal Highness with some of that };mduct’ but I am confident that nothing rom California has ever reached the Prince’s table, sitaply because there was no one to represent them. “‘Sherry is no longer in vogue at English dinners. " Champagne and claret are the favorites, and port and Bergundy, though for many years neglected, are slowly gain- ing again in popularity. Hock, chailisand sauterne are used a little. Dry Sillery is never heard of, and as a whole champagne is the dinner drink. ““Whisky has taken the place of the once favorite brandy and soda. In the clube one sees about eighteen of the former served to two of the other. Scotch is the favorite whisky.” Mr. Payne will remain on this coast for a few months and during that period will make a close_examination of the wines of California. He is a warm advocate of the clarets of this State and is anxious to see them brought intelligeutly and on a broad scale to the notice of the wine-consumers of England. A COOURT'S SALARY. Justice Groezinger Brings Suit for It Against the Auditor. Justice of the Peace Groezinger yester- day filed suit against Auditor Broderick in the Superior Court to obtain a writ of mandate compelling the Auditor to pay him $200 salary now due him as said Jus- tize. In the present stringency of the City finances the Auditor hit upon the expedi- ency of “holding out” the salaries of the judiciary. These are always paid out of the fee fund and any balance remaining therefrom after the payment of salaries, tc., is turned into the general fund. Itis this fund that the Auditor is peculiarly in- terested in nursing just now, in order that supplies for public institutions, etc., may be forthcoming. But Groezinger does not see why his pocket should be made to_suffer for the shortcomings of others and he has brought his suit as a test case. Other members of the judiciary are said to coincide with his views of the case and to have expressed a purpose of bringing such a suit had Groe- zinger failed to do so. — - —— THE greatest adepts in culinary art are particular to use the Royal Baking Pow- der only, and the authors of the most pop- ular cook-books and the teachers of the successful cooking schools, with whom the best results are imperative, are careful to impress their readers and pupils with the importance of its exclusive employment, SCHILLER-COETHE STATUE The Project to Erect It in Golden Gate Park Well Under Way. A GRAND GERMAN FESTIVAL. It Will Be Held In November for the Purpose of Ralsing Funds. Interest in the projeet of erecting a Schiller-Goethe monument in Golden Gate Park by the German residents of Califor- nia is rapidly increasing. There was a well-attended meeting of the Schiller- Goethe central committee, comprising some of the most prominent Germans of the City, last night in the rooms of the Schlaraffia Club, 413 Bush street, relative to the matter. Charles Bundschu pre- sided. At the previous meeting of the committee a subcommittee had been appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws, and the report made by it was taken up and adopted with some minor amendments. It provided that the organization shall be known as the Schiller-Goethe Monument Society of California. Regular member- ship was fixed at $1, extraordinary mem- bership was conferred on the payment of a minimum sum of $25, and honorary mem- bership was to be left to the decision of the executive committee, composed of the offi- cers of the society. Extraordinary mem- bers were to receive,as a token of their generosity, a medal bearing a bas-relief of the statue. Honorary membership, it was understood, would be conferred only on those who rendered conspicuous service or made an unusually liberal contribution to the statue fund. The temporary officers were made per- manent, and in addition a financial secre- tary was elected. The board of directors are: President, Charles Bundschu; first vice-president, M. Greenblatt, editor of the Demokrat; second vice-president, Pro- fessor Putzker, instructor in English and German literature at the State University; corresponding secretary, M. Kollman; financial secretary, Cesar Berthean; treas- urer, John D. Siebe. It was definitely decided that the statue should be an exact copy of the bronze statue at Weimar, Germany; it will cost about $10,000. On the suggestion of President Bund- schu, it was resolved to hold a grand festi- val for the purpose of raising the necessary funds, on the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th of November, at the Mechanics’ Pavilion. All the local German societies and the German ladies of the City will be invited to co-operate to make the affair a success. The following committees were appointed : Finance—Joseph Brandenstein, C. Bertheau, A. H. R. Bchmidt, J. Simmen, E. L. Hueter, B. A. Becker, Dr. D. Cohn, R. Herold Jr., John G. Kosler, George F. Volkman, Isidor Gutte. Monument—Dr. Richter, Dr. Senger, A. Gutz- man, R.

An Association of Laundry Drivers Formed to Oppose a Big Combination. ‘What will henceforth be known as the Electric Laundry Drivers’ Association was formed last evening at the office of the laundry, 215 Valencia street. The avowed purpose of the organization is to oppose the so-called laundry trust, which is com- posed of the Contra Costa, the San Fran- cisco, La Grande and United States Jaun- dries. The members of the new organization declare that they fear the purpose of the trust to be not only to raise the price of laundry work to the customers, but to also reduce the wages of the employes. They declare that the trust made strenuous efforts to capture the Electric Laundry, and that it was for the purpose of successfully onosing these efforts that the new asso- ciation owes its birth, There are about 2000 laundry employes in the Citg, anditis expected that most of them will be affected in some way should the laundry trust be- come absolute in this City. There are twenty-two members of the new association—all of them drivers—and they have elected the following officers: President, W. T. Langton; first vice- president, W. A. Peterson; second vice- president, E. O. Gleason; recording secre- tary, P. Tamony; financial secretary, E. Kragen; treasurer, W. Welch. “THE strength of Royal Baking Powder is shown to be 23 per cent greater than any other. “Asaresult of my investizations I find the Royal Baking Powder far superior to any others.

Mrs. Helen Meyers, whose home is in Chi- cago, at 3515 Vernon avenue, has been re- cently visiting her uncle in ‘Dallas County, near Keokuk, Io She had been sentaway from Chicago by her physician on account of a nervous maiady. He told her she would never recover if she did not get away from the noise of the city and be prescribed for during her absence, but when she arrived at Keokuk she heard so much about Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills (for everyone knows about these famous pills there) that she stopped doctoring and began their use. In an interview with the Gate City representative she told him the old story so familiar to thousands of mothers, how her nerves graduslly gave way under the pressure of household duties; how the least excitement would prostrate her for a week, and how they were obliged to give up their residence near the Lake Shore drive for a more guiet location. Her nerves seemed always on the point of ex- plosion. Then, too, her complexion under- went a change and she became so yellow and sallow she was ashamed to venture from the house. She said in part: “I began fo take the. pills according to direo- tions and I began to feel better from the start. My uncle told me, two weeks after I com- menced taking Pink Pills, that he guessed he ‘would not be afraid to discharge his old arm musket now without warning me beforehand, for he didn’t think it would affect me atall. I took several boxes of the Pink Pills and then I was ready to go back to Chicago. My nerv- ousness was gone and my complexion ‘was as fresh as that of any 16-year-old girl in Jowa, and Pink Pills is what put the color in my cheeks. No wonder I am in such high spirits and feel like a prize-fighter. And no wonder I like to come to Keokuk, for if it had not been for Pink Pills bought from a Keokuk firm I would not have been alive now,” laughingly concluded the lady. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain all the ele- ments necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are for sale by all drn&ghu, or may be had by mail from Dr. Willlame’ Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., for 50 cents per box, or 81x poxes for §2 50 MRS, M. S.
