Police Officer Ellls’ Lively Chase After a Swimmer—An Over=~ due Ship. Yesterday was a good day for deep- water arrivals, and the nine new-comers, added to the nine already swinging at an- chor in the bay, make the harbor look as commercial as of old. The following are the new arrivals: German bark Bertha, 1653 tons, Captain Rosch. 125 days from Hamburg.

A London dispatch states that the Brit- ish ship Star of Austria, en route from | Santa Rosalia to Swansea, isoverdue. She | is a sister of the Star of France, now in this port, and the Star of England, that was lost 1n the Straits of Le Maire four years ago. Three other sisters—the Star of Sco- tia, Star of Erin and Star of Greece were also wrecked. Captain Stewart J. Russell of the Star of Austria was last in this port as mate of the { Star of Erin. He came in as acting mas- ter, on the way to Portland, to report the death of her commander, Captain James Coulter, brother of the well-known marine artist, W. A. Coulter, whose excellent work has often appeared in T CArL. Captain Russell is a brother of William Russell, a prominent linen dealer in this City. A gang of water-front thieves, burglars and pltklpockels has been broken up by | Officers Tom Ellis ‘and_Peter Holland of | the Harbor Police, and Michael Vicaro, Dan McIvor and Joseph Watts arrested. 1 The two officers were detailed by Captain | Dunleavy to watch all the suspicious char- acters who were supposed to be committing | the numerous robberies on the front of late. Thursday night they surprised the gang of suspects, and Watts, to escape, | plunged into the bay, swimming like a fish | for Goat Island. Vicaro and McIvor were soon captured, and Ellis boarding a boat started after the swimmer. The officer overtook his man, but when he reached over the side to grab him he found nothing. Watts had dived like a duck and got away. Ellis came ashore and reported that his quarry was probably drowned; but was agreeably surprised to meet the redoubt- able Watts yesterday, walking along the docks. The officer again gave chase and again his man took to his natural element, the bay; but it was in daylight and he could not escape the swift Whitehall and | was soon in custody. Engineer ‘Holmes of the Harbor Com- mission stated yesterday that the work on the new ferry depot would begin in thirty days, and that the construction will be | pushed so as to be completed in two years’ | time. 'THE POLICE COMMISSION, No Thought of Retiring Chief Crowley and Captain Lees. Talks With Commissioners Alvord and Gunst on the Subject. Expecting that the Supervisors would | decide to increase the number of police- men many friends and acquaintances of | Commissioner Moses Gunst have impor- tuned him for his influence in behalf of applicants for position on the force. Com- missioners Alvord and Tobin have not been so actively besieged by place-seekers, | vet they had many applications to con- sider. | When Mr. Gunst was appointed many of his followers expected to be taken care of at once. In thisconjecture they were doomed to disappointment. Yesterday Mr. Gunst said: “I have not made any appointments yet, but I voted for promotions, of course. When I went East 1 left with Chief Crowley twelve rec- omimendations for appointments in the evert of the force being increased. I gave to Markham one, to Estee one, to D. M. Burns one, to the Germans one, to the Jews one, to the Irish one, to the French one, to the Board of Trade one, to the Chamber of Commerce one and to the Na- tive Sons three. I favored the Native Sons because they have had experience and edu- cation in California. Had the seventy-five additional appointments been authorized fifty-four of the new men would have been Native Sons.” Mr. Gunst was asked: “When do you ex- Eect to reach Chief Crowley and Captain ees in the routine of retirement?” The Commissioner replied : *‘Chief Crow- ley is one of the best men in the United States. People of San Francisco do not understand his value. You must go Bast and talk with the police in other cities to ascertain his high standing. In the first place, Crowley possesses the first and greatest qualification. He is honest—thor- oughly honest and cavable. Now that he is re-enforced by young and alert captains, who can tell him what is going on, the force in San Francisco is not surpassed anywhere for efficiency.” ommissioner William Alvord was askea yesterday if further changes in the way of retirements were contemplated, and if ac- tion on that line would be taken at the meeting next Wednesday evening. He re- plied that he did not know of any contem- plated retirements, anc did not expect that anything outside of the regular order would come up for consideration at the next meeting. . NO REPLY YET TO MRE. MILLS. The Mineral Lands Committee Will Wait for Mr. Neff’s Return. Messrs. A. H. Ricketts, John M. Wright and Charles G. Yale, of the mineral lands committee of the Miners’ Association, met together yesterday for the purpose of for- mulating a reply to W. H. Mills, the land agent of the Southern Pacific, in accord- ance with what the committee decided to do at its last meeting. At that meetiug it was concluded to send a letter to Mr. Mills, informing him that it was its desire to have the two commission- ers to be appointed by the Miners’ Asso- ciation and the railroad company respect- ively, to inspect the lands, select a third commissioner to act with them in cases of dispute. However, the three gentlemen thought that instead of drafting such re- ply yesterday they would wait for the re- turn of President J. H. Neff of the associa- tion, who is now on his way home from the triennial conclave of the Knights Tem- plar in Boston. Mr. Neff is expected back in a few days. The committee would like to defer to him, because the executive committee had signified a desire to have Mr. Neff act with them. DIED FROM HIS INJURIES. Palmer Never Recovered Consciousness After the Wall Fell on Him. Samuel G. Palmer, the old man on whom part of the old City Hall fell last Thursday, died in the Receiving Hospital vesterday morning. His ribs were broken and he was badly injured internally. Palmer was an ardent Spiritualist, and many of his friends called at the Morgue to take a last look at him. He was in fairly good circumstances, and there was $50 due him by the contractor for tearing down the building the day he died. This is the second death that has occurred since tke work of demolishing the old prison began, and if more care is not taken there E-m be anotber before the walls are all owDn. VALLEY ROAD SUPPLIES The First Sailing Vessel Ar- rives With a Large Lot of Spikes. A Ridiculous Story That Illustrates the Animus of Attacks in Chicago. A large consignment of railway spikes arrived on the clipper ship Henry Hyde, that came into port a few days since from New York. They were transferred yester- day to barges and will be taken up the river to Stockton for the Valley road. Rails, spikes, fishplates and other building material for 100 miles of railway are now on the way from New York in different ships scattered along the route around the Horn, and will arrive here from time to time. There will be no delay in construc- tion now that a tremendous amount of these materials are already Filed‘up at Stockton, and it is expected that all sup- plies on the ocean will be in the company’s yards before they are actually needed. The animus of the article in a Chicago paper that set forth a ridiculous claim that the Valley road had come under Southern Pacific control was illustrated yesterday by a story retold from the same source by an officer of the competing railway. Quite recently a funny yarn was spun by the Chicago newspaper at the expense of Val- ley road directors, or rather what would appear to be such at first glance. The in- ference was that the directors knew noth- ing of railway construction, as the narra- tive ran something like this: Scene—Meeting of directors of the Valley road during a discussion on the question of expenditures and economy in construc- tion. “What 1s this item I see here—fish- plates?” asks one director who is imensely mystified over the matter. “And I would like to know who has been g\lfl!% of such extravagance as this,” says another member of the board, grow- ing indignant over what he considers to be an attempt to misappropriate tihe people’s money. “Disgraceful! I move the item be crossed off,” remarks a third. “And I heartily second the motion,” a fourth director adds. “It will be time enough to buy fishplates when we have Pullman cars.” In view of the fact that Secretary Mackie, who attends all sessions of the board, has been a prominent official in the Santa Fe system; that Chief Engineer Storey has been regarded as one of the ablest men in railroad engineering on this coast; that one director is resigent of the North Pa- cific Coast Railway, another was a United States engineer, another owns a_railroad and_still another has dealt quite exten- sively in railroad materials, the point to the Chicago story may be taken for what it is . An officer of the Valley road ized the matter as an underhand way of injuring the new enterprise, inspired by people whose interests are inimical to the competing road. The latter attempt in the same direction was laughed at as a ridiculous article which nobody familiar with the railway sitnation in California, or with the Valley road managers, would regard seriously. e PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRY. Secretary Meade Writes to Stockton’s Mayor and the University. Secretary L. R. Meade of the Manufac- turers’ Association has written to the State University asking that institution to give its order for caps to California manu- facturers and not to patronize Eastern makes. A letter has also been sent to Mayor H. 8. Bagfs of Stockton calling his attention to the fact that Fire Department supplies can be furnished as cheaply by Califor- nians as by Eastern manufacturers.. Stock- ton is about to invite tenders for such sup- plie.g. Hence the letter asa ‘‘word in sea- son.” ————— Electric Lamps for Market Street. A largely signed petition of Market- street property-owners and storekeepers will be presented to the Board of Super- visors at their next meeting. About a year and a half ago the proposition to sub- stitute electric lights for gas lamps on Market street was discussed by the Mer- chants’ Association, and now the mer- chants have agitated once more for better lighting, fully expecting that success will crown their efforts. The Merchants’ As- sociation at its meeting yesterday morning adopted resolutions recommending to the Board of Supervisors the substitution of electric lights for gas lamps, and Mr. Keil suggested that the lamps be erected at intervals along the center of the street and that around the base of each lamp a small platform be constructed, upon which foot-passengers could stand and be ovt of the way of passing vehicles. Among those who heartily indorsed this roposition are Percy Beamish, J. Richard E‘rend, W. E. Fisher, Senator George C. Perkins, Dr. Nightingale, James D. Phelan and many other large owners and store- keeé-ers on Market street. There are al- ready upward of a thousand names on the petition, and the committee which has the circulation of it in hand declares that a proposition has never yet been presented which met with such unanimous favor, THE FESTVE ROOSTERS, The Annual Outing of Their Yachting Club on “White Wings.” RACY, ROLLICKING BIRDS. “Fun and Frolic” Is Thelr Motto While Bounding Over the Swelllng Wave, One week from next Sunday the Festive Roosters’ Yachting Club will ‘‘celebrate.” This will be the first, last and only cruise of 1895, and if the predictions come true, as indicated in the announcement and the invitations sent out by the jolly commo- dore of the yacht White Wings, it will prove a whole season’s outings in a day. In glancing over the names of the ‘‘Fes- tive Roosters’” participatingin the celebra- tions held aboard the White Wings for the past five years, it would seem that there could scarcely have been gathered a crew for each outing that could possibly have discovered more of pleasure, fun and jollity than those who have, for the time- being at least, become “‘festive roosters.” Their names are legion, and they repre- sent every profession, calling and trade of prominence in the City. They seem to fol- The White Wings. low strictly the command, “Eat, drink and be merry, for t0-Iorrow we may notsail.”’ The trip cannot be better described in ad- vance than it has been by Commodore At- kinson in the following suggestions and announcements accompanying the invita- tion. It reads: The expectant Roosters will please assemble on Jackson-street wharf at 8:15 A.w., when they will be welcomed on board the now re- splendent and palatial yacht White Wings, and at about 8:30 A. M. the joyous command ““Turn her loose!” may be exgecu& Do not gamble on a late departure. We have a well-earned record for promptitude, and also_for an utter 1ack of sympathy with any tardy Roosters, as evidenced by our infliction of a ‘cash ‘penalty without either commiseration or remission. They are simply left—absolutely and mone- tarily left. Ourreturn to the same wharf, we ex_Fec(, will be at about 6 p. M. he festive Roosters have this year been sad and disconsolate. Our only adequate and familiar home was for the season usurped and appropriated by one ‘‘not of our ilk’; one who sought his enjoyment and regarded not, prob- ably knew not, at our sufferings, but at about the last and darkest hour of our afiliction the ‘White Wings came back, and once more she is our:. at least for one utterly utter and festive cruise. The very important questions, What shall we eat? and Wherewithal shall our thirsts be assuaged? need not disturb you. Competent and experienced artists will furnish choice and abundant remedies for every fancied longing. Our soulful programme of song, music, yarn and revelry will, it is fondly believed, surpass any previous effort. The yacht—our yacht—the only ‘White Wings,” is commodious, comfortable and fa- miliar, yet she is only a yacht of defined, non- elastic gmpomons, hence, as we go for com- fort and enjoyment, prudence and true Roos- terial courtesy would suggest early responses. whether acceptances or declinations, for should 100 many, like Barkis, be willing, the direc- torate must and will exercise the right of nul- lifying and sejecting any acceptance not re. ceived on or before the fifth day after date of issuance; furthermore, if you are obliged to decline, another anxious victim for initiation might take a first lesson in strutting and crow- ing with us. Cock-a-doodle-doodle-doo ! TLoud the festive roosters crew, Just remark our joyous c0o—, Cock-a-doodle-doodle-doo! The music and fun will be es?ecmly prepared and supervised by the following- named gentlemen, who will on this occa- sion present the play, ‘‘Laugh, Though Ali the World Beside Should Weep.” Cast as follows: Our Commodore, Tommy Atkinson; Our Sailing-master, Charley Chittenden; Our Spirit- ual Comforter, Jim Kearney; Our Chef de Cui- sine, Romualdo Pacheco; Our Assistant Chef, Fred C. Hensley; Our Daisy Butchers—Phils, Seibel and Wagner; Our Star Artist, Dick Whelan: Our world - renowned, unequaled stock company, all artists af that, and wonder- fully talented, versatile and genial—Harr, Niemann, Sam Thors, J. Harry Scott, Ed H Sam Seymour, J. Lester Gabriel and F. S. My; tle; Impresario, Clarence T. Howland; Cynic and Gunner, Abe Kaplan. It may be gathered from the above that the White Wings will bear as jolly a crew as ever sailed from the shores of care and trouble bound for the isles of pleasure. The lockers of the yacht will be stored with all the Eood things of life for a day’s pleasure, and no doubt but that each and every one of the crew will find a panacea for every ill and pain of life until the cruise is over. THE SAFE IS OPEN, Secretary Van Guelpen of the Cigar- Makers’ Union Left Money in Bank. The story of the disappearance of George ‘W. Van Guelpen, secretary of the Cigar- makers’ International Union, caused a sensation in trade circles when it was pub- lished in THE CALL yesterday morning. Mr.Van Guelpen is k nown throughout the State from his official work in the Feder- ated Trades, and especially in the cigar- makers’ orglniution,A and nobody has been more prominent in the local trades councils. All yesterday there were inquirers at the cigar men’s headquarters on Jessie street, and a big crowd waited to see the safe opened in the afternoon. Fresident Burns decided to have the safe forced open to determine whether Van Guelpen had left any of the money and to gain access to the books, and the work was accomplished at 5 o'clock. Only the books of the union were found in the main compartment of the safe. In the cash drawer, which was forced open later, a letter addressed by;Van Guelpen to the union was found, ‘:nt President Burns declined to make the document public, as he is contident that the secretary will succeed in squaring up his accounts, and he said he desired to submit the case to the union before taking any other steps. The substance of the letter was published yesterday, however. In the safe was found the bankbook, which had been left there by the secretary. It showed that $11650f which Van Guelpen had control had not been taken. This convinced them more than ever of Van Guelpen’s honesty in the matter, and many of the members of the union de- clared that the mere deficit of $900 on ac- count of the election failure would not have made any trouble if the secretary had remained here. If Van Guelpen had been actually dishonest in the matter he could have made the deficit $2500 or $3000 instead of the amount that is actually missing, but it is known that he went away without money enough to support himself for a week rather than take any- thing in addition to what was already used. The secretary’s relatives say that they would have made up the aeficit if they had been notified by the union before the facts were made public, and they do not uqder— stand Wh¥: the man should have disap- peared as he did. A peculiar complication has grown out of the case, by which it is probable that noth- ing can be obtained from the bondsmen. Bonds were given sufficient to cover any possible shortage in the secretary’s ac- counts. They were deposited in the Ger- man Savings Bank for safe-keeping, but it was ascertained yesterday that they had been withdrawn, and nobody knows what has since become of them. = The leading members of the union think that they can discover the whereabouts of the missing man, as the organization is strong in_the eastern part of Canada and the United States, and there is little doubt that Van Guelpen will resume his trade of cigar-making in the best field possible. rank Westcott, the substitute ap- pointed by Secretary Van Guelpen, is still in charge of the work of the office, and it is understood that he will be a candidate for the office. The affairs of the union are oing on as usual, and the lossof the funda will not be seriously felt. e THE COIRCUS COMES. Wallace’s Big Shows Will Parude This Afternoon. The big circus parade will burst in won- derful glory on the principal downtown streets at 1 p. M. to-day. Wallace’s show has attained the front rank among Ameri- can circuses in reputation as well as in hyperbole, and the crowds that will line the streets to-day promise to be very large. People smile at a big circus and then show interest in it generally. In the parade to-day there is promised a “solid mile” of free show that will start from Central Park at the hour named and proceed down Market street to Montgom- ery, down Montgomery to Montgomery avenue and back along Kearny and Mar- ket to Central Park, where the first show will be given this evening. In the parade are to be five elephants, an open den of five magmificent lions and eight other open menagerie cages. Three band wagons, many horses, gaudy trappings and the calliope will help delight the chil- dren only. There will be but one other parade during the nine days’ stay of the three-ring circus that may be seen after- noon or evening.

After a Lively Discussion It Refuses the Application of the National Labor Army. One of the liveliest sessions held by the Labor Council for some time was that of last night, and was due to the contest arising _over the :pglicnfion of the National Labor Army for representation in the Labor Council. The application was presented by Secre- tary James Rose of the National Labor Army at a previous meeting and had been referred to the organization committee. The latter reportcd last night adversely to the application, and the matter then was placed before the body to act upon. Among the champions of the Labor Army were H. A. Knox of the American Railway Union, President Mortlatt of the Labor Army, who is also a delegate to the Labor Council from the American Rail- way Union, and J. K. Phillips of the Typographical Union. Those opposing the proposition were Andrew Furuseth, Thomas Finnerty and Messrs. McArthur and Rosenberg of the Sailors’ Union and E. P. Burman of the Furniture-workers’ Union. The principal arguments presented by the opponents of the application were that the National Labor Army was not a bona- fide labor organization as prescribed by the constitution of the Labor Council; that it was a National and not a local body, and by reason of the latter fact would place the council in the position of serving two masters, as it was already affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, a National organization. On a vote the ap&:liuuon was denied by a vote of 7 ayes and 11 noes. During the heat of the debate Delegate Knox made a motion to withdraw the application, but objection was made by Delegate Mortlatt, who desired to have the matter come to a vote. L Betore the great question of the evemns was taken up a communication was rea from the Western Federation of Miners, stating that a strike was on in the Cceur d’Alene region, and requesting that miners be cautioned against going to that section of the country. The matter was referred to the executive committee, with instruc- tions to take the necessary action to carry out the wishessof the Federation of Miners. e —————— FF TO BOHEMIA.
