The Barkentine Enoch Talbot’s Nar- row Escape From Wreck at Humboldt Bay. The schooner Elwood arrived yesterday from the north with a eargo of about 25 tons of iced halibut. She also brought down from Alaska samples of nnusually rich ore which was taken out of the newly developed gold mines at Turnorgain Arm, Cooks Inlet. Captain Wyman reports that the miners working in that locality are gathering a good harvest of the pre- cious mineral.

All this applies to Californian insurance territory, but not to the Northwest, where rates are still firm. But Mr. Potter says his companies have not ceased writing even in California. ATTACKED WITH A DAGGER Murdecous Assault Committed by ““Jack Shay’’ Upon Ernest Bradstreet, a Wcll-Knofl" Pugilist. Ernest Bradstreet, ¢ well-known pugil- ist, swore outa warrant in Judge Camp- bell's court yesterday morning for the arrest of J. L. Rodgers, alias “Jack Shay,” a sure-thing gambler, on the charge of assault to murder. The warrant was placed in the hands of Policemen Graham and McLaughlin. Dur- ing the afternoon they saw Rodgers on O'Farrell street, near Powell. The recog- nition was mutual, and Rodgers started on the run. He was overtaken by the officers at Taylor street and taken to the City | Prison, where the charge was booked | against him. Early Saturday morning Bradstreet and Rodgers were in Shannon’s saloon on Ellis street. They have had a grudge against each other of ten years’ standing, and Rodgers threatened = repeatedly te Kill | Bradstreet. They had some words about Rodgers’ wife and came to blows.

[Sketched by a “Call " artist.] $9, a silver watch of generous proportions, and a chain that was big enough to drag a harrow with. The way it was done is an old, old story, but exceedingly new to Jobn Demo. They met, loved, drank beer together, ana when they parted the Lodi man was in the slum- ber of intoxication and his property in the pockets of Mr. Weil. When his pleasant dream was over he hurried to Captain Daunleavy of the harbor police with a tale of woe. The captain soon harvested Adolph into the clutches of the law, and a charge of petty larceny is written opposite his name. The barkentine Enoch Talbot, which ar- rived yesterday eleven days from Tacoms, came very near being wrecked while on her way up the cogst. She got becalmed at the mouth of Humboldt Bay, and the current set her inshore until only six fathoms of water was below her keel.” Her signals of distress were seen on shore. and the tug Ranger, Captain_Nelson, came to the rescue. But before Nelson would hook onto the imperiled barkentine he de- manded $1000 for his services. Captain Johnson swore he would drift ashore be- fore he would pay that sum, and the tug- master wag persuaded to_tow her off shore for $750, Johnson is indignant at the ad- vantage taken of his helpless vessel, and threatens to refuse payment of this amount, The administration of the Burean Veritas has just published the May list of marilime disasters which is as follows: Sailing vessels reported lost—15 American, 20 British, 3 Danish, 8 Duteh, 5 French, 6 Ger- man. 3 Iialian,14 Norwegian, 2 Russian, 7 Swedieh; total, 78.

The Government has issued an order which provides that the vessels of the rev- enue service shall carry the National ensign at the stern and the distinctive revenue flag, with its vertical stripes, at the fore. This is thought to be an excel- lent change, as there is no reason why an American Government vessel should carry any flag but the stars and stripes. The British ship Aberfoyle, now loading at Newcastle, Australia, for San Francisco, lost her captain and chief officer while on the voyage out to Melbourne, and the ves- sel was navigated by the carpenter until she met the steamer Tayliaferro, which transferred her first officer to the ship.

STILL WRITE INSURANOE. Edward E. Potter Claims His Companies Have Not Ceased Operations. Edward E. Potter, general manager of the Franklin Insurance Company of Phil- adelphia and the Williamsburg City Com- pany of New York, denies that his com- panies have ceased writing business on the Pacific Coast. A representative of his office informed Tne CaLr last Wednesday that the Franklin and Williamsburg City concerns had ceased writing in California because they had declined to do business at less than tariff rates and would not en- ter into competition with the fighting cor- porations. people sayinz for insur. ance would not take old rates when they | jerked his head back, and the point of the dagges onl{ made a flesh wound, Brad- | street struck Rodgers on the jaw and sent | him spinning across the floor.

LO0KIS HELD TO MSHER, Judge Campbell Objects to the Cruel Treatment of Chinese. He Differs From the Police Com- missioners, Who Dismissed the Charge. Judge Campbell rendered his decision yesterday in the case of Sergeant B. Cook, charged by Quan Loy with assault with means and force to do great bodily injury. The assault was committed on June 9, at 35 Waverley place, when Cook was ser- geant of the Chinatown squad. The Judge, in holding Cook to answer before the Su- perior Court, said: We, of course, have to review the testimony under the light of the law; We cannot arbitra- rily pass upon the matter. We have tnree witnesses for the prosecution, one for the de- | fense. The defendant presents & good charac- ter by a number of witnesses, in fact clearly | establishes a good character for peace and quiet, but I am satisfied from ali the facts sur- rounding the case that I cannot of course go outside the record, though I know there are a number of eases of unusual and unnecessary | severity in Chinatown, where the public press | and the bead office of ‘the Police Y)up.rl.menl are o & certain extent to blame for the cruel treatment of these Chiuese. They are here un- der the protection of the law. I believe tbat the sergeant went up there; he saw this Chinaman at the head of the stairs and the Chinaman gave notice to what Cook supposed was a tan game, or some other gamb- ling eame, going on upstairs. Idon’t think Cook had a malignant or bad_heart, or malicionsly threw the Chinaman downstairs, I think he | became excited and angry at being foiled in his attempt to raid whai he supposed was a Chinese gambling game, and I think thatina moment of haste and anger he threw this man | down the stairs and broke his arm. The order in this case is that the defendant be held to answer the charge that is preferred against him before the Superior Court ef this City and County, and that his bail be fixed in the sum of $500. The decision was a surprise to Cook, as on Wednesday night the Police Commis- sioners heard the evidence against him on the same charge and dismissed it. THE BARE MURDER. Henderson’s Preliminary XExamination Fixed for To-Morrow. C. B. Henderson, the Rochester sales- man who fatally stabbed -Clarence Barr, the Chinatown guide, in the Baldwin Ho- tel bar on Saturday morning, July 13, ap- peared in Judge Low’s court again yester- day morning. The Prosecuting Attorney asked thatthe preliminary examination be not held till after the Coroner’s inquest. The Judge declined to do so. He said he did not propuse to have his court tacked on to the tail of the Coroner's office. The defendant was charged with committing a crime, and the case must go on. He in- structed Policeman Haydon, who arrested Henderson, to file the comdplnint charging the defendant with murder, which was done and the usual continuance of two days granted. Attorney Mack, who represents the de- fendant, says he is quite ready to progeed. gl LT The Survival of the Fittest.

Morton Special Delivery, 51 Geary street, 408 Taylor street and Oakland Ferry Depots » AT THE CITY PLAYHOUSES “The Amazons,” a Pretty Little Absurdity, at the Bald- win. * “THE JILT"” AT THE COLUMBIA. “Love and War” at Morosco’s. Gracle Plaisted at the Alcazar. ° New “Satanella.” “The Amazons’’ is a pretty liitle absurd- ity, half farce, half idyl, built upon a comic-opera plot, which is as gravely car- ried to a logical conclusion as though it were a realistic erd-of-the-century drama. There isn’t much to the play, but the pe- culiar educational training and the cos- tumes of the beboyed Ladies Belturbet bring about many a piquant situation, It is all very merry and impossible and worth listening to, for the nonsense is rea- sonably and rather delicately written and the Lycoum Company presents it as care- fully as it does the stronger plays of its repertoire, Mr. Fritz Williams and Miss Tyree were the stars of last night’s performance. Mr. ‘Williams was the most vivacious of French- men with a most enviable accent. He was voluble, light, graceful, and his delight- fully Gaelic inversions are likely to become the newest slang in San Francisco. His “What to do,eh?”is full of suggestion. Mr. Williams is a most excellent character actor, Whatever role he fills is so com- plete, so rounded, so full of appropriate details that every part seems his best one. Miss Tyree was made to play Lady Thomasin Belturbet. She is delightfully frank and manly. There is a delicious air of unconsciousness about her, and she wears her smart boyish costumes as though she were really a son of Lady Castlejordan. Miss Tyree is the most modern of new women. Even a decollete evening gown does not make her self- conscious. But it isn’t Miss Tyree's mod- esty only which makes her Lady Tommy so pleasant a character. She has brains and that lesser kind of genius, apprecia- tion, and she makes her role real and in- teresting, Kelcey plays Lord Litterly easily and pleasantly, but if the lark turns butterfly he loses the dignity and standing his higher flights had given him, Kelcey is too cleyer an actor to be wasted upon such a part. The role requires nothing but good looks and a gentlemanly bearing; surely these are not so scarce upon.the stage as to compel an actor of Kelcey’s ability to work which is beneath his rank. As a whole “*The Amazons” is very well cest. Miss Irving atones in the last two acts for her bad work in the opening scene, and the only thing which reconciles one to the bestowing of Lady Tommy upon Lord Tweenway is the thoroughness with which Ferainand Gottschalk plays the part. MiriaM MICHELSON. The Oolumbia. Katherine Grey made her first appear- ance at the Columbia last night and was very well received. The play was Bouci- cault’s delicious comedy, ““The Jilt,”” and every seat in the handsome little theater was ‘occupied. It is many years since “The Jilt" was seen at the California, and comparison at this late day would seem out of place. Itisenough to say that the play as presented by the Frawley Com- pany is in c:xabls hands, ana the parts are assigned with commendable care, Miss Grey’'s conception of Lady Milli- cent is consistent, and though at times her acting appeared stilted she conveyed to her audience the character of the seem- ingly heartless flirt, and there were other times when her clever turning of the bril- liant lines fairly won the house. Nothing more charming could be imagined than pretty Belle Archer’s dainty interpreta- n of Kitty Woodstock, Lady Millicent’s ter. She was a splendid foil for Miss Grey, and no one wondered at the bold young Irish sportsman layin, his heart at her feet. Bg word, look and geature she typified the character of the artless, independent and lovely young girl, and proclaimed herself an artist to her finger tips. T. D. Frawley makes a manly Myles O'Hara, and that is saying a good deal. Although unused to character acting, Mr. Frawley never over- does the “Irish business,” and his brogue comes tripping from the tongue ina way which gives sincerity to its tones. For the rest the characters were capably por- trayed, Miss Hope Ross deserying men- tion for her clever bit of work in Phyllis, At the Aloasar, Gracie Plaisted of Tivoli fame appeared for the first time at the Alcazar last night, supported by the Dailey Company. The attraction was “Bweethearts,” a pretty little musical comedy. In Tina Miss Plaisted found a character much to her liking and one in which she was thoroughly at home. Her rsonal- ity showed throughout the play and her musical numbers were rapturousiy en- cored. One clever topical *“Doll” song in the first act caught the house and the clever little soubrette found time to ring in Esther and Ruth Cleveland. Mise Plaisted’s support was up to the require- ments and the presentation of the comedy ‘was a very enjoyable one, z Next week will be presented “The Crime of a Century.” The California. . “A Black Sheep” baa-ed merrily at the California again last night, the first of the second week, and there scemed to be but little falling off in the attendance. New songs and new drinks are introduced and the sheep is led to the shambles with as much unction as ever. Morosco’s Opora-House, Captain Herne, U. 8. A, was the attrac- tion at Morosco’s Grand Opera-house last night and to say that the house was crowded is putting it mildly. It was packed from pit to dome and the audi- ence was most enthusiastic. ‘“Captain Herne,” as its name lugfestu. is a story of batties, of gallant deeds, heroic men_and loyal women. Mr, Dowling made a strong drawing of the title role, and Miss Maud Kdna Hail a charming and captivating May Herne. A recall was demanded at every curtain, There is & zip and go to the play and crowded action, which suited the audience immensely. “Qaptain Herne" will run all the week, At the Tivoll, “Satanella,” with its pretty story of love, its delightful music, charming costumes and magnificent scenic effects, entered upon n‘s uoom‘lt 1vmelf last might, with Lou n the title role. 5 i?l Lou Royce is fitted to the part,both in voice and physique, and her success last night was instantaneous. The house was well crowded, and nearly every number was encored as in the days of yore. The opera is one of the most popular ever put on the Tivolistage. The Orpheum. The Orpheum opened with a long list of new attractions last evening toa full house. Johnnie Carroll made a decided hit in his topical songs, introducing several of the latest New York‘dpr%i.ncuam, which were warmly applaud 1ly clever work was unl;pb and Lorenz in thought transm: bbs’ Viait&'.' edy sketch, pleased the audien i.mg::nl’y. Hlu& fi!urh and the Bland Sisters did the soubrette parts, and the Martinettis family gave a skillful acrobatic g;rl'ormnm:e. In instrumental music the ‘hitney Brothers performed with their usual success, playing a dozen instruments in a manner that called for a great deal of applause. A NICE SCHOOL PLUM. The Vacapt Prineipalship of the Frank- lin Grammar School Wanted by Many—The Candidates. The promotion of James G, Kennedy to the principalship of the Normal 8chool leaves vacant one of the most desirable principalships in the department, that of the Franklin Grammar School, The salary at present is $175, and the ability with which Mr. Kennedy has managed and de- veloped the school makes requisite a prin- cipal of ability to maintain its standard. A small host of applicants are after the place, and though a principal will proba- bly be elected at the meeting to-morrow there is no understanding yet among the Directors, and it appears a free race, Miss Fairchild, the principal who battled s0 long with the old board and who won a restoration of her position, rank and salary in_the Bupreme Court, is_aiter it and thinks she ought to have it. When she secured final judgment. her old school, the Potrero, was not open to her and she com- promised with the present board by taking a less desirable school, the Lafayette, with the understanding that she should have the first better principalship open. Now she thinks she ought to have the Franklin though so much higher than her old school, but some of the Directors want a man for principal. o James H. 8immons, the teacher in the Boys’ High School, who came near being the last Democratic candidate for Superin- tendent, wants the place, and with the favor of Barrett and two or three other Directors, seems to have a good chance. Director Clinton fayors him. W. D. Kingsbury, now vice-principal of the John Swett Grammar ;Schodl, he who ROBINSON'S DISCOVERY, The Marine Painter Has the Secret of Cremonese Varnish.

Hanly Causes a Scene of Great Excitement in Judge Low’s Court Thomas J. Hanly, who made a murder- ous assault with a hatchet on Saturday night at 233 Valencia street upon his mother and brother, caused a scene of ex- citement in Judge Low’s court yesterday morning. He appeared in court to answer to two charges of assault to murder. When placed in the dock he acted queerly and Policeman Wallace, who is in attendance on the court, kept his eyes fixed upon him, The window close to the dock looking into the balcony that surrounds the courtyard, was wide open. Suddenly Hanly sprang with the agility of a cat over the railing of the dock and dashed through the open window onto the balcony. Wallace was after him like a flash, ‘and grabbed him just as he was climbing over_the stone railing of the bal- cony to jump into the courtyard below. ere was a short, sharp struggle be- tween them, and Wallace had Hnrfiy un- der subjection when Bailiff Clark ran to his_ assistance. He was promptly hand- cuffed and taken downstairs to the City Prison, He is a slave to opium and im- slored the prison officials to give him the rug, but they were deaf to his entreaties, allace got his trousers badly torn and his knees skinned by slinpin} on the bal- cony just as he caught hold of Hanly, He had bis injured knees dressed at t{le Re- ceiying Hospital. - :u’f}fl cugs lg;}nlt Hflsn{y _wu;:l fontinued ursday, Mrs. Hanly is still in a ve critical condition. 5 = Mrs. Hanly was taken in the ambulance from the Receiving Hospital to St. Mary's Hospital last night. ——————— A TRUCE HAS BEEN CALLED. The Sam Yups and Wing Yuens Will Fight It Out in Court. The S8am Yups and Wing Yuens will not have a fight over the murder of Quong Jong by Mock Tai. The Consul-General has so far arranged matters that no actual bloodshed will follow. At a meeting of the Bix Companies, held last Monday nlg{;t. that much was settled, and Li Yuen Yu is once more able to walk about the Chi- nese quarters without police escort. Although no highbinders have been em- ployed and the doctrine of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth will not be followed, still the endeavor to con- vict Mock Tai will not be lost sight of. The tong to which' Quong Jong beionged will spend thousands of dollars in order to convict the man charged with the murder, and his tong will spend all the money it can raise in order to secure his acquittal. In consequence, a lively legal battle and some very pronounced swearing may be expected when the case comes to trial. < —————————— To Support Her Danghter’s Will.
