A Survivor of the Wrecked Sarah Ridgway—Skipper Monday’s Error In Time. The Oceanic steamship Monowai, Cap- tain Michael Carey, came in. yesterday, almost twenty-five days from Sydney, by way of Auckland and Apia. When she | arrived off the harbor of Honolulu she was stopped by the steamship company’s agent and the American Consal, who noti- fied Captain Carey that cholera had broken out in Honolulu, and eight deaths had occurred among the natives and Chinese. It was thought that the disease had been a budget of news for each paper, giving a story of the steamer’s trip and of his nota- ble passengers, which he dispatches to each office on his arrival in port. HOLIDAY OR NO HOLIDAY? Federal Officials in Doubt as to Whether or Not Labor Day Should Be Observed. The last Congress passed a bill making the first Monday in September a legal holiday to be known as Labor day, and further provided that it be observed the same as the Fourth of July and Christmas. All the Government officers issued notices saying their various departments would be closed, but two days before the celebration a dispatch was received which said the law only applied to the District of Columbia and the Territories, consequently all the Government offices were open as usual. Later, it was learned that all the Federal officials in the East took a holiday, and the Western men were mad in consequence. The Federal officials seem to be divided on the question. Postmaster McCoppin has posted a notice to_the effect that his department will be closed except during the usual holiday hours. United States District Attorney Foote will close his de- artment, and Judge Morrow has ad- journed court until next Tuesday morning. On the other hand, Judge McKenna will open the Cireuit Court as usual. and Col- lectors Wise and Welburn are in_a quan- | dary. They have accordingly telegraphed E GOLD AND COAL IN ALASKA, Dr. Becker Tells of the Geo- logical Survey Work Done There. NICKEL ORE MAY BE FOUND. Notable Peculiarities Discovered In the Gold Belts of the North. Dr. George F. Becker, geologist in charge in this division of the United States Geo- Jogical Survey, has returned from Alaska, where he has been making a survey of the gold and coal fields along the shore line. He was accompanied by Dr. William H. Dahl, who went to make a special report on the coal fields. This is the first work that has ever been done by the United States Geological Survey in Alaska. Dr. Becker is one of the most distinguished men connected with the survey. He was [From a photograph by W. C.

Captain Carey decided to have no communication with the shore and went on, carrving a number of passengers, mails and a large amount of Hawaiian freight to this City. - . 3 2 The following is the Monowai’s cabin passenger list: Miss Ribbendrop and maid, E.

Albert Rostrop, a seaman from the American bark Sarah Ridgway, which was lost about seven months ago on the Aus- tralian coast, was a passenger on the Monowai. During the gale that wrecked the vessel he was struck by falling spars and had_his right leg broken below the knee. The captain took him into the cabin and set toe limb. Four days after, the bark went down and Rostrop was washed out of his bunk by the seas that broke over the foundering vessel. He was taken into a boat and suffered from exposure, hunger and his broken le, for five days. They were all rescued an the limb afterward amputated. The Monowai brings news of the loss of the steamer Chatterthun bound from Syd- ney to China, which struck on a rock near the former place August 8 and disap- peared in 15 minutes with about 65 per- sons. Dr. Copeman, Officer Langfear, Pilot Fraser, a Mr. Crane and about twenty of the Chinese crew were saved. The investigation of the charges made against Eaward T. McLean, the mail-dock ingpector accused of taking articles from the baggage of Chinese, took place yester- day before Collector Wise. The Chinese was present and insisted that he gave McLean | the shirt, which fully exonerated the ac- cused Customs I[nspector. The other charges were not substantiated, and the ac- cused was acquitted. To-day the race-between the yachts El Sueno and Queen for the San Francisco challenge cup will be sailed. The cruise is from the the end of the narrow-gauge pier, Oakland, around Blossom Rock, then around a stakeboat near Hunters Point, then around another boat moored near | Mission Rock, and to the starting point. The race will come off at 2 o’clock, and the steamer Bay City will leave the foot of Market street at 1, following the race. The scow Henrietta M was capsized at Main street yesterday morning by over- loading. Captain William Munday said Friday was his unlucky day, but thought it was Thursday, and, thinking that she could not be upset on any other day ex- cept Friday, piled wood upon the scow until, true to her fate, she went over. She was finally righted, but the cargo floating around the bay was a loss. Henry T. Scott has received a cable mes- sage from his brother, Irving M. Scott, an- nouncing the latter’s arrival at Yokohama on August 26. The steamship on which Mr. Scottsailed left this port August 13, and consequently made the run in thirteen daysorless. This is a remarkably swift passage, but does not break the record be- tween San Francisco and Yokohama. The sealer Winchester, which arrived late Thursday evening from the north, was erroniously reported to have been seized by the customs officials for taking seals in prohibited waters. Inquiries at the Cus- tom-bouse failed to raise any information regarding the seizure. f. D. Sullivan was appointed engineer on theo?ngrnnline tug Governor Perkins in place of Dick Cousins, time expired. Criminal proceedings have been com- menced against Captain W. P. Noyes of the schooner Bowhead and Captain A. C. Sutherland of the schooner Sophia Suth- erland charging them with making false statements. The penalty of such offense isa fine of $200 or six months’ imprison- ment or both. In the case of Sutherland the churges can hardly be substantiated, as his log revealed the taking of seals in prohibited waters and the act was com- mitted by the hunters in disobedience of the captain’s orders. 3 Purser B. B. Bendall of the Monowsi de- serves honorable mention. He makes out brought from China by the Pacific Mail | | i to the Secretary of the Treasury for in-| structions. The sub-treasury will await | the answer also, and if it instructs the | officials to close, all the banks and prin- | cipal warehouses will follow suit. The question will be decided to-day. HETHREATENED FILLMORE Andrew J. Collins Was Exam- ined in the Police Court Yesterday. The Superintendent Considered Him a Dangerous Person to Be zt Large. Andrew J. Collins, the ex-railroad em- ploye who was arrested several days ago, charged with threats against. the life of J. A. Fillmore, general superintendent of the Southern Pacific Company, was examined in Judge Low’s court yesterday. George E. Gard, chief of the detective force of the company, testified that Collins had entered the railroad offices on August 23 and insisted on seeing Mr. Fillmore. On learning that Collins’ presence was ob- noxious to that official Mr. Gard and two others ejected him and led him up the street. He had not heard any threats on Collins’ part. The latter had remarked that the next time he came to see Fillmore lhie would get an audience if 1t cost him his ife. William M. Breckenridge testified that he had met Collins at Loc Angeles on August 9, and that the ex-employe had told him that he was going to San Fran- cisco to see Fillmore tmdg get his rights. He =aid that Mr. Huntington, who would have given him a contract for a life job in the company, had gone East to avoid him, and left the matter to Fillmore, The latter, Collins declared, did not like him (Collins), but that did not make any difference, he was going to get justice. He remarked that it would take very little to make him kill Fillmore. Mr. Fillmore was called and testified that he knew nothing of the threatsexcept. what he had heard, but that he considered Collins a dangerous man and thought that he should be compelled in some way to keep the peace. The matter was continued until next Tuesday to await more testimony. THE CAMERA OLUB. Albert J. Le Breton, a Quondam Cali- fornian, Lectures. The sixty-third illustrated lecture under the auspices of the California Camera Club drew an audience that filled Metropolitan Hall last evening. Albert J. Le Breton, foralong time a member of the Pacific Coast Photographic Association, and who has returned to this City after a long resi- dence in Washington, D. C., was the en- tertainer. The negatives and slides used were the work of members of the Capital Camera Club of Washington, with which Mr. Le Breton was associated. The entertainment, which was appro- priately entitled “Poems' and Pictures,” u;}ene with an illustrated presentation of ‘Thanatopsis.”” This was followed by a barytone solo, ‘‘Sea Song,” by J. F. Flem- ing. Mr. Fleming was encored and sang “The Holy Friar.” Mr. Le Breton’s poem, “The River,” was illustrated, and finally there was a miscel- 1aneous series illustrating the poetry of nature, and especially dealing with the queens of the floral kingdom. Miss Xena Roberts gave a contralto solo, “Perfumes of the Orient,” and being encored responded with a ballad. Mr. Le Breton made a most favorable impression, especially in the illustration of his own descriptive poem, although that of ““Thanatopsis” was an ambitious and suc- cessfnl effort. The views illustrating Bry- ant's masterpiece were exceedingly clever. ——————— Held for Burglary. Matthew B. Maume, charged with burglary for entering the offices of B. McMahon & Co., coniractors, several weeks ago, was given a for a number of years professor in the College of Mines at the University of Cali- fornia. Dr. Becker said yesterday at his rooms in the Palace Hotel that until after cor- siderable office work he could not say mp;h in detailabout the work dome. He said: The first mines examined were the Sumdum and those near Juneau, the Douglas Island, Sheep Creek Basin and Silver Basin, and fur: ther north those at Berners say. These all form a large belt up and down through Juneau. Then there were some undeveloped mines near Sitka. A peculiarity found worthy of note was the presence in the gangue both in the Juneau belt and about Sitka of magnetic iron pyrites, which is & comparatively rare mineral B old mines. They are found in great variety. It is found in most cases wherever nickel ores are found. Now, s & consequence, I suggested up there that they have the magneétic iron pyrites tested for nickel. A report got into the papers that I had discovered a nickel mine. It is not true that I have any knowledge of the exist- ence of nickel in that region. There may_be nickel; I shall know when I have my office work done. Another peculiarity I found, and that was a great abundance of chlorite as a gangue mineral. Itis not & mineral that is usuhlly found in gold mines, although it is occasionally found in the gold mines in E’orlh Carolina and Europe. It has some interest as bearingon the genesis of gold ores, Further west there is some Kodiak Island, but only 0od property at arfially developed. | Still further west, at Unga lland_‘_il an impor- tant mine, second only to the Treadwell and Mexican, calied the Apollo Consolidated. The ore is notable in two respects. Itcontainsa large amount of free gold in an unusually fine state of division, so that at first sight rich quartz looks as if it had a yellow stain run- ning through it like oxide of iron. Kidneys of this quartz with fine free gold give the value to the mine. The other notable feature is that it contains & considerable amount of native copper, which is a very rare accompaniment ot gold. Onl: oneother case of the kind has been reporte in America, and that was in Virginia some | fifty years ago. The Apollo Consolidated is turning out several hundred thousand a year. Idon’t think there is much doubt that Alaska is going to be an _active mining region; but I do not think that it will rival the Cali- fornia mining belt. The veins are not so large and well developed as they are here. There has been quite an excitement this summer about the placers at the head of Cooks Inlet. The amount of success thus far achieved hardly warrants the amount of interest ex- hibited. The profitable washings thus far dis- covered are confined to a couple of miles on Bear Creek, which empties into Turnagain Arm. I think it proper to make this statement to prevent too much of a rush of people there who are not supplied with means to live on uatil they can find something or return. 1 did not visit Yukon. I learned, however, that there were a great many poor men stranded there unJ:repured with means, and a large pro- portion do not find gold. Any manwho pro- poses to go into the Yukon countvy should furrg' along means to support him for a year at east. As to the coal deposits, the only coal we found that seems likely to be of lny commer- cial value was at Cooks Inlet, on Kackenack Bay. It is a tertiary coal, which is really & lignite, and sometimes somewhat resembles logwood. The coal is present in large quanti- ties. Its heating effect is comparatively slight, so that it takes about two tons to do the work of one ton of Vancouver Island coal. It also contains a large quantity of ash. It seems that it might be economically mined if the mining was carried out on a large s and with great system, as the coals of Western Pennsylvania are mined. It seems impossible that any profit could be made except under such conditions. This coa! is associated with large quantities of clay, but whether this ela: is fit for pottery and brick I cannot say nnt.& the tests are made. There are other coal veins on Kenai Penin- sula, west of Cooks Inlet, but the quantity ap- ars to be too small except for local consump- on. There is also coal at Point Barrow, in North- western Alaska, which seems to be of paleozoic age and of good quality. But it is too remote and in & refxon icebound so much of the year as seemingly to deprive it of all value. Dr. Becker will return to Washington in about a month. It wiil be some timse after that before the necessary tests can be made of the samples taken'to make up his report. TO ADVERTISE THE STATE. Stereopticon Lectures Will Be Deliv- ered at the Atlanta Fair. When the State Board of Trade found that it did not have money enough to stand the expense of maintaining ilius- trated lectures on Calitornia at the Atlanta Exposition it asked the Half-million Club to take up the matter and carry it on until such a time as the Board of Trade would be able to secure the money -to repay the preliminary examination in the Police Court esterday and held to appear before the Si Tior Goutt in §1000 bonds e [ expense. The Half-million Club con- cluded that it would not assume any such responsibility, and_for a time it looked as though there would be no illustrated lec- tures delivered at Atlanta. D. M. Carmen of the State Development Committee would not let the matter drop in this way, and he interested the com- mittee to such an extent that it has taken up the work abandoned by the Half- million Club. Views from all parts of the State will be Fresenoed on stereopticon slides at the Atlanta fair. The same com- mittee will ask the State Board of Hor- ticulture to take up the work of running a cooking exhibition at the exposition, and the promotion of sales of California products in the East, in connection with the stereopticon lectures that are to be given. It is now assumed that through the efforts of the various organizations inter- ested, the entire plan as outlined by the gmmotion committee of the Half-million lub will be carried out. FATHER PINASCO RETIRES Owing to IIl Health—Father Leggeo Succeeds Him. Rev. J. Pinasco, 8.J., who for a number of years has been director of the Gentle- men’s Sodality of St. Ignatius Church, has been forced to retire from his position, and to leave this City, on account of the con- stant ill health which attends him here. He will be relieved by the Rev. W. Leggeo of Denver, who has been appointed to fill his place. Father Leggeo has been in San Francisco before, and 13 well known both as an elo- %lent preacher and an intellectual man. e was for a great many years prefect of studies at St. Ignatius College. Father | Pinasco has been identified witEethe sodal- ity since its inception, and under his charge it has held together and has be- come one of the strongest parish organiza- tions of the Catholic church of this City. At the last meeting of the sodality the members passed a vote of sympathy for him, and expressing the wish that he may soon be restored to health. He will leave for the interior within a few days. OPENED WTH A LAUNDRY, The World’s Christian Co- operative Union Enter- prise Launched. The Soclety Proposes to Open Other Places of Business in Two Weeks. The World’s Christian Co-operative As- sociation has launched its enterprise of helping laborers to help themselves. The laundry at 129 Valencia street has been transferred by the former proprietor, | Otto Frenzel, who is a member of the so- ciety, to its control, and, in conformity with the principles that govern the or- gaaization, he is now working at the old | stand on a profit-sharing basis. There will be an enlargement of the con- cern in a few days, and this step will be followed by the opening of two restaurants | on the same basis and under the contro! of the same society. A committee is consid- ering the advisability of buying the prop- erty of two established restaurants and has notdetermined whether to do this or open | places of business in new localities. In either event it is expected that the plans will be consummated within two weeks. Mr. Wilderman, the president, continues his lectures in the interests of the society at Golden Rule Hall, and his office is vis- | ited by many who are interested in its | projects. The members are more sanguine of suc- | cess than at any time since the organiza- | tion was effected, and nimerous commit- tees are making investigations with a view to opening other lines of business. - FATHER UPCHURCH'S ORDER United Ancient Order of Workmen to Celebrate the Anniversary of Its Foundation. A meeting of delegates from lodges of the United Ancient Order of Workmen was held last evening in the hall of Frank- lin Lodge in Shiels building to inaugurate arrangements for the celebration of the twenty-seventh anniversary of the found- ing of the order, which took place on the 27th of October, 1868, at Meadville, Pa., where thirteen members, with Father Up- church at their head, organized Keystone Ledge No. 1. The meeting was called to order by Grand Master Workman Toohy. E. F. Joy, P. M. W. of Valley Lodge, was choser: chairman of the general committee; J. F. Florance of Franklin Lodge, vice- chairman, and Walter Malloy, P. M. W. of Golden West Lodge, secretary. It was decided that a celebration be held on the 26th of October. On motion of the grand master, masters of lodges in this City and district deputies were admitted as delegates. A committee of five, consisting of Lyons of Myrtle Lodge, Davis of Magnolia, Hanson of Ex- celsior (I?lstrict deputy), Frawley of Alta, and McNuity of Memorial, was appointed to suggest at the meeting next Friday one or more plans of celebration and the prob- able cost of aday and of a night celebra- tion. e Ruddell Welcomed Back. Deputy Surveyor of the Port 8.J. Ruddell put in an appearanee at the Custom-house for ashort time yesterday. He returned last Thurs- dey from a month’s sojourn in Alaska, and there was not a person employed in the Fed- eral building but what was genuinely glad to see him back again. During Mr. Ruddell’s absence S8urveyor Enelish attended to all the details of the office. He was the first to greet his subordinate when he stepped from the gangplank of tne steamer. Collector Wise also ave him a very cordial welcome home. Mr. udaell is undoubtedly very popular in the | tice on Monday, September 9, at Custom-house. He will resume his official duties next Tuesday. SUED THE PACIFIC MAIL Gustave Rowan Asks for Fifty Thousand Dollars Dam-~ ages. ONE OF THE COLIMA'S VICTIMS. An Allegation Designed to Circum- vent the Limited Liabllity Law. Gustave Rowan, one of the survivors of the Colima, wrecked on the 28th of May of this year off the coast of Mexico, who was seriously injured by floating lumber while drifting about after the vessel sank, has in- stituted suit against the Pacific Mail Steamship Company for $50,000 damages. Under the Federal laws suits against the owners of wrecked vessels are largely dis- couraged by section 4283, which provides that: The liability of the owner of any vessel for * damage or injury * * * occasioned or incurred without the privity or knowledge of such owners shall in no case exceed the amount or value of the interest of such owners in such vessel and her freight then pending. George W. Monteith, the attorney for Rowan, in the complaint filed alleges that defendants wilfully caused a large amount of rough lumber to be placed loosely upon the main deck of the steamer and in a dangerous position; that at the time the vessel was wrecked and sank the lumber ‘was precipitated into the water with plain- tiff and struck him with great force about the head and body, inflicting great and permanent injuries uvon plaintiff, pre- venting him from rouov.-ing’ixis usual avo- cation of musician, he being a violinist. But the important allegation is contained in the clause which charges that the plac- ing of this lumber in its dangerous posi- tion was within the actual knowledge of defendant. It is claimed that the fact that the com- pany had actnal knowledge of the placing of the lumber in what is charged to be a dangerous position will prevent the appli- cation of the Federal statute to the case. NEWS OF THE MILITIA, Captain Edward G. Eisen Appointed Quartermaster of the First Infantry. Company F and the cadet company, First Infantry, were drilled at the regi- mental armory as a battalion on Thursday evening. Edward G. Eisen, late captain of Com- pany H, has been appointed by Colonel Bush as_quartermaster of the First In- fantry. Lieutenant Eisen enlisted in Com- pany H on November 20, 1879, and served therein until the company was mustered out last month. The regiment will have a drill and pa- rade on Van Ness avenue on Tuesday evening pext at 8:30 o’clock in full uniform, field and staff officers mounted. As this regiment is the only one which has re- tained its full-dress uniform, it will make quite a fine showing, varticularly in num- bers, there having been quite a large ac- cession to the ranks during the past month. Sergeant-Major Bush has been appointed captain of Company C, Cadet Battalion, at the university. The First Infantry has been ordered to parade in fatigue uniform for target grflc- hell Mound Park. PATROLMEN'S OHEVRONS. Department Rules as to Their Disposi- tion on the Uniforms.
