The steamship China arrived from China, touching at Honolulu for the mails. Her run from the islands was 5 days, 13 hours and 54 minutes. She was quarantined by Dr, Chalmers. Among her passengers were Trving M. Scott and General Williams, agents for the Cramps, ship-builder: WHEELED OVEE A GIRL. Mabei Thompson Knocked Down and Injured by a Bicyclist. Mabel Thompson, a pretty girl, 15 years of age, living at 1935 O'Farrell street, was knocked down by a bicycle yesterday after- noon and sustained severe internal inju- ries. She was standing on the corner of Steiner street and Golden Gate avenue talking with a friend when several men on bicycles passed along the avenue. _One of the wheelmen was nearer *the sidewalk than the others and the girls at- tempted to get out of the way. Miss Thomp- Bon was not quick enough and the front wheel struck ber. She was kuocked to the ground unconscious. Her iriend removed her to a house near by and a little later she was sent to the Receiving Hospital, where the doctors stated that she was seri- ously injured internally. .

THE CHI Irving M. Scott Returns Home With “Ships in His i Hat.” HIS HUMOROUS STATEMENT. The Arrival of the Cutter Perry. The Aleutian Volcanoes in Activity. — The Pacific Mail steamship China ar- rived last evening from the Orient with a clean bill of health and anchored on the quarantine grounds. She stopped inside the harbor of Honolulu, taking the mails, but no passengers, She reports that the cholera epidemic at | the islands was fast decreasing as there | had been no new cases since September 28. i The scare had passed away and the people | felt that there was no more danger. Dr. Chalmers boarded the steamer and ordered her to remain in quarantine until she was fumigated. No one was permitted to board her or leave the vessel. A meet- ing of the Board of Health will be held to- day and the period of her detention passed upon. Among her thirty-one cabin passengers | were Irving M. Scott and General Wil- | liams, agent of Cramps, the Philadelphia ship-builders. Mr. Scott was called to the | steamer’s rail ana interviewed by THE { CALL reporter from a whitehall boar. |, “Mr. Scott, how about those contracts from Japan?” was asked. “*Oh, I've got 'em,” answered the jovial molder of cruisers—‘‘three of ’em.” One battleship under each arm and another in my hat.” “Has the Cramps’ man got his ships in | his hat, also?” *‘Yes. But don't say I told you, for he is smuggling them over, and the customs | fellows will catch him sure. This is in | confidence, you know, not for publication. | Say, can’t you send us off a can of milk, it—something to cheer us in quarantine?’’ The revenue cutter Perry returned from Bering Sea, steaming into haibor at 3 o'clock vesterday morning. = Whatever easy times other Government vessels may have had the small fleet of the Treasury Department had hard work, and each € | little cutter paid for her ‘‘keep” over and | | over. The Perry made a voyage around the | Horn, and after a few weeks’ stay | sealing grounds. On June 9 of this year | she began the zigzag journey around the rookeries, first on the 60-mile zone, then on the 120-mile. She cruised In all 11,000 miles and boarded twenty sealers.

Captain Smith believed that more than 50,000 skins have been taken this year, | Fully sixty sealers were examined by the cutters and their catch would average 800 skins for each vessel, bringing the catch up to 48,000. It has been stated that about 17,000 were taken on the Japanese coast, and the 15,000 from the rookeries would The Perry reported that the chain of volcanoes on the Aleutian Islands were | | unusually active, about_half of the forty and dense volumes of smoke.

What Is on the Programmes of the Sev. eral Places of Amnusement. The Baldwin Theater will this evening | present “‘Trilby,” which for two weeks | past has proved such an attraction. Lack- aye’s impersonation of that extraordinary character, Svengali, has a fascination for | the people that draws them to him, as has | been evinced by the crowded houses every | night he has appeared. | | The Bostonians will appear this evening at the Columbia in that successful and charming opera, “Robin Hood.” The | large and enthusiastic audiences at each performance last week gave proof of the appreciation of good singing and that San Franciscans are not dead frost when a meritorious performance is placed on the boards. At the Grand Opera-house Manager Morosco will offer Milton Nobles’ master- | piece, “The Phenix.” This play, which | 1‘ is not new to the play-goers of this City, | has a certain attractiveness that will always draw a full, if not a crowded, house. The author-actor will appear in_the principal role and will be supported by the full | strength of the company. i Those who are inclined to laugh will heart’s content at Grover's Alcazar to- night, when ‘‘Confusion” will be pre- sented. This play, founded on a series of amusing mistakes in regard to a baby and a pet pug, is one that will keep an'audi- ence in the best of humeor from the rising to the falling of the curtain, . The opera bill at the Tivoli Opera-house this evening is ““Il Trovatore,” Verdi’s ever favorite composition. Alice Carle, who has been absent for a month, will reappear in the cast. The opera will be staged with that close attention to all the details for which this house is noted, and a pleasant evening’s entertainment is assured. Fresh attractions will be offered to the audience at the Orpheum Music Hali this evening. One of these will be the Gotham City Quartet that will introduce anovel and amusing performance. This combination is from Madison-square Garden, New York, | and is highly commended. Another attrac- :.ilpn is Memphis Kennedy, musical come- ian, The People’s Theater in Union Hall, on Howard street, will this evening offer the same bill that was presented on Saturday, the opening night. "It is ‘“‘After Dark,’"a melodrama, and vaudeville performances between the acts. The later is a novelty that seems to meet the views of the audi- ences that patronize this place. At Macdonough's Theater, Oakland, | Henry E. Dixey will appear in an original monologue, in which he will introduce all This will be for one night only.

FUTURE OF THE PRESIDIO. A Crew for the Boston—The Monlitor Monadnock to Be Completed at Once. General Forsyth, commander of the | Department of California, accompanied by First Lieutenant J. Franklin' Bell, A. D. C., lefi San Francisco yesterday for Se- quoia Park. The purpose of the trip is to inspect Captain James Lockett’s Troop I of the Fourth Cavalry now on duty in the park guarding against forest fires and protecting the reservation from the incur- sion of sheep-herders. Light Battery F, Fifth Artillery, Captain Charles Morris, is now out on annual prac- tice march. The battery is near Redwood City at present. Last Saturday First Lieutenant J. F. R_eynolds Landis, in charge of the office of inspector of artillery, department headquarters, received the fol- lowing telegram from Captain Morris at Redwood City: Will commence target practice Monday at 10 A Lieutenant Landis will attend the prac- tice. A good range has been located and so me excellent work may be done. The practice march will extend to Mon- terey, but will not exceed one month’s duration. 3 Lieutenant William G. Haan is desig- nated as quartermaster and commissary officer. The train consists of three escort wagons, each with a teamster and four mules. The post quartermaster at the Presidio will send fifteen days’ rations to Monterey. Funds are provided for the purchase of fresh meat and vegetables on the route. The battery will pass through a rich and fruitful ccuntry, and there should be no lack of poultry, fish and game. Plans of the new Presidio, published in yesterday’s Cavry, have caused general com- ment among the officers and enlisted men of the post. It is well known that General | Nelson A. Miles, who is now in command cf the army, has long favored the plan of | abandoning many of the small posts on | the froutier and at other places and con- | centrating the troops at a few of the im- | portant cities of the country. In carrying | out this plan the Presidio will become a very important station, where nearly all the troops on the Pacific Coast will be massed. Anarmy officer who has studied the subject said yesterday: “The Presidio has the advantage of rail and water communication. It is the cen- ter of the railway system on this side of the continent, and troops can be dis- patched from the reservation to any point required without delay. “In case of tumult, riot or strikes in San | Francisco the troops would be available | immediately. A great advantage of the Presidio is "its deep water facilities and good wharfage. Ships and steamers can land or receive supplies at all times. It is possible to support the troops at one cen- tral station for much less money than is needed to maintain_an equal force sta- tioned at various points. Under new con- ditions it may become expedient to aban- don the stations at Angel Island and Be- nicia, as well as many of the frontier posts.”” Some affairs are better managed in mili- EDWARD H.

The officers of the Perry were Captain Jeutenants George Mec- . Carmine, C. S. Craig and B. Johnso Chief Engineer E. G. Schwartz, Engineers H. U, Butler and D. M. de Reamer and Surgeon A.T. Mitchell. Lieutenant Johnson is at St. George Isl- and, where he will remain until Novem- ber. Miss Josephine Smith, daughter of gnptam Smith, is also on board of the erry. The steamer Afoguak arrived yesterday from Pyramid Harbor, Alaska.” She re- ported that after the sixty fishermen were discharged at that place by Superinten- dent Murray, who thought that the season was over, a late run of salmon took place, and their being no men to handle the fish, almost the entire harvest was lost. A few fish were caught by the Indians who were employed. They charged the packing association 10 cents per salmon, cutting off the profit. A disturbance among the Indians is re- vorted at Tyeo Inlet, about fifty miles southeast of Pyramid Harbor. A white trader supplied them with liquor, and in the consequent trouble one of the Indians was killed by another. The slayer was a Mission school youth, and his ‘tribe con- sidered him on this account free from blame. The trader was adjudged the guilty party and two white lives_were demanded as ayment for the native that was killed. he young Indian was arrested by a Deputy Marshal and the whole tribe have arisen in consequence. It is not thought anything serious will result, however, and the disturbance will be quelled. The Corinthian yacht fleet took their last bay cruise of the season yesterday, yrior fo laying up for the winter. All the | wessels were crowded with excursionists. Led by theflag yacht Truant they passed around the harbor bidding “good-by”’ to the scenes of their summer’s outing.

A large number came in on the late train at 11 ». ., and it is expected | that there will be about 400 in attendance. | Headquarters were opened on the first floor of the Palace Hotel. At 9 o'clock this morning the Placer County delegation will hold a caucus there. There will be no contest over any office, except that of secretary. The candidates for this position, however, are. making enough fight for all. They are W. C. Rals- ton, the incumbent; Julian Sonntag, who has been the association’s treasurer dur- ing the past year, and Assemblyman R. I. | Thomas of Nevada City. For the presidency Jacob Neff will be re-elected without opposition, as will the vice-president, S. K. Thornton, for his of- fice, Andrew Carrigan is the only candi- date for treasurer. The convention assembles a month ear- lier than it did last year in order to give the committees time to prepare the bills that may be determined on by the con- vention in time for presentation to Con- gress. It is reported that the railroad people, through Mr. Mills, are going to make an offer to help frame the bill to be presented to Congress for the settlement of the min- eral-land question. It is understood that their proposition will be that they appuint a committee of lawyers and the Miners' Association appoint another, the iwo to act jointly in framing a bill to be sub- mitted to Congress, which, if passed, will settie the mineral-land dispute. e ORUSHED HIS SKULL. Terrible Accidgnt to a Boy at the Ocean Beach, John O’Mally, 13 years of age, who lives with his parents at 155 Tehama street, lies in the Receiving Hospital with a badly fractured skull. As the Cliff House train approacked the tunnel under the park driveway to the beach voung O'Mally, who was a passen- ger, noticed one of his friends on the last car and attempted to go back to see him. He swung round the partition at the end of the car. Justas he did so the train en- tered the tunnel and O’Malley’s head was smashed with great force against one of the upright supports of the tunnel. The boy was knocked to the ground un- conscious and bleeding from several cuts on his face and head. His skull was frac- tured, tary circles than in civil life. According to special orders No, 118, from headquar- ters department of California, Private Wil- liam E. Bennett, Com&mqy B, First In- fantry, neglected his duties as company cook and for this neglect he was tried by a general court-martial, proved guilty and sentenced to forfeiv $20 to the United States and to be confined at hard labor for thirty days. To'men and women whose knowledge of arm?v life is gained chiefly from a study of hattle pictures wherein the great leaders are portrayed as riding on furiouschargers over the prostrate music bands and the artillery, 1t may be necessary to explain that neglect of duty on the part of the cook is a very serious matter, and isin violation of the sixty-second article of war, The absence of the cook without leave is in violation of the thirty-second artice of war. In civil life similar conduct on the part of a cook would hardly be in viola- tion of any one of the articles of peace. The cruiser San Francisco was at South- ampton September 15. Captain Robley D. Evans has been ordered to command the battle-ship In- diana. The detail of officers for the cruiser Boston, now at Mare Island, has been completed. Commander Nicol Ludlow has been recommended for promotion to captain, and will dprobnbly command the cruiser. It is said that the department will be compelled to send & crew from the East to man the cruiser. The report goes that there has been some difficulty in get- ting the character of men desi for the naval service on the Pacific Slope. It would be interesting in San Francisco to know how the department gets the information that desirable men cannot be found on this side of the continent. The Boston will be attached to the Pacific squadron. Orders have been issued by the Navy Department to expedite the work on the monitors Terror, Monadnock and Puritan, The Monadnock is at Mare Island. Her armor ig either in place or ready to be put og board, but some of the gun mounts haye not been installed. The Monadnock will be assigned to dutmn the Pacific, The cruiser Philadelphia is expected at Marion sailed for the ‘Seattle this week. The U. 8. s South last Satu: & Mare Island Letter. MARE ISLAND, CaL, Oct. 12, — The naval colony in Vallejo consists at the present time of fifteen or sixteen families, 'tinet, he is a eight of which live on Capitol Hill or in its immediate vicinity. These last referred to are the families of Commander C. E. Clark, ncw on waiting orders; his son-in-law, Ensign S. 8. Robi- son, on duty at the yard; Chaplain Frank Thompson of the Independence and En- sign K. 8. Leifier of the Monterey; Liep- tenant F. M.

Since Admiral Beardslee sailed away with the Philadel- phia much of the aforetime inspiration to | gay-hearted mirth has beer wanting. With the Philadelphia also sailed away a considerable number of pounds avoirdu- pois (in the shape of lieutenant and en- sign) by way of lover. Not until Decem- ber shall we look to see her and her gallart admiral and other officers, agreeable or beloved, as the case may be. Captain Henry L. Howison has been in command of the navy yard for nearly three years and has not been known to set foot in Vallejo more than three times, if SO many. e very seldom leaves his post, finding™ plenty to engage his attention when not strictly ““on duty.” The commandant’s office hours are the same as those of the heads of departments and the clerical force employed under them—from 9 A.M.to 4. M. And in of fice hours there is where Captain Howison | can almost invariably be found. No mar- unctilious and exacting, though eminen&g just officer. s A host of friendd are regretfully wishin bon voyage to Mrs. Frank Thompson an Miss Elia, wife and daughter of the es- teemed chapiain of the Independence,who yesterday took their departure for Chicago, whera they will spend a couple of months visiting relatives. On her return Mrs. Thompson will be accompanied by her sis- ter, Miss Anne Carleton, who during the past summer was accounted a leading belle at Bar Harbor. ; Ihe navy people turned out in force on Tuesday night to see the blue-jackets dis- port themselves in a minstrel performance for the benefit of the Naval Union—the sailor boy’s reading-room, gvmnasium, billiard-room and general temperance headquarters—for which they are indebted primarily to the inspiration and manage- ment of the Rev. Theodore F. Burnham. Thursday night the finest audience, as to quality of intellectual material, which Vallejo can afford, comfortably half-filled Farragut Hall to hear President Jordan’s lecture (preceded by some pieasing musi- cal numbers, rendered by local talent,) on “The Ascent of the Matterhorn.”” Thislec- ture and the Mollenhauer concert, noted in my last, were parts of a series of high- class entertainments Flnnned by Mr. Bun- ham for the benefit of the Naval Union. Since Chief Pay Clerk Walter D. Bollard became & man of leisure by bresking his leg on colliding with a messenger-boy in the office of the Baldwin Hotel nearly a month ago Paymaster Skelding and Mr. Barber, second clerk, have been kindly assisted by Pay Clerk Haskett of the Mon- terey. The semi-monthly payment of over 1000 men, inyolving the separate account of each individun%. the distribution of forty odd thousand dollars and the render- ing of reports to the department at Wash- ington, all tied together in an almost inextricable tangle of red tape, refutes the opular notion that Government employes Rlvs little or nothing to do. A After an interval of some years there is again a school on Mare Island for the small children living at the yard, for whom the distance of the schools in Vallejo is an insurmountable barrier to their attend- ance. Miss Beatrice Parker has under- taken this work, much to the satisfaction of all concerned. Navy peoble here and hereabouts are anticipating the early arrival of Mrs. Albion V. Waahams, wife of Lieutenant- Commander Wadhams, now_on her way from the East. YvaN DRAY. SPANISH CARNIVAL. The Discovery of America Celebrated During a Night of Revelry at the Mechanics’ Pavilion. The Spanish carnival in celebration of the discovery of America was a grand affair at the Mechanics’ Pavilion Saturday night. and was witnessed by fully 3000 people. 2 5 Preceding the ball, which was continued until early Sunday morning, there was a series of brilliant spectacular effects. Beau- tiful living pictures and bronze statuary were exhibited on the stage. BSergeant Davis of the United States army was the victor in a broad-sword con- test held for the entertainment of the de- lighted spectators, who applauded every- ihing from the roller-skating contest between E. A. King and C. L. Murphy to the march and graceful movements of the gayly costumed masqueraders. A drill by an infantry company from the Presidio under command of Sergeant Har- vey met with deserved applause. ' The proceeds of the ‘carnival will be de- voted to the momnrg fund of the Madrid Mutual Benevolent Society, under whose auspices the affair was given, § | Mrs. Stanford, who went East a few days ago, is receiving an avalanch of telegrams congratulating her on winning the big Government suit against the Stanford estate and saving the $15,000,000 to the university. Such congratulations will undoubtedly | crowd upon her for months as she meets friends of herself and of the Stanford Uni- versity East and West. She has a host of warm and influential friends at Washing- ton who became friends of the late Senator and herself during their long connection with the official and social life of the capi- tal, and many Senators and Congressmen have wished her snccess—for the uni- versity’s sake, at least—and stood ready to vote for any bill remitting the millions re- covered if the Government won the suit. Then this institution here, broadly planned and run,and marking the farthest ad- vance toward intellectual freedom and the idea of individual education among the world’s institutions of learning, has a | steadily increasing number of admirers who would deeply regret a blow that would cut short at the outset its career of magnificent pfomise. There is widespread personal sympathy for Mrs. Stanford, too, among those who understand a little of the heroic struggle and the devoted and self-sacrificing lsEors which she has bestowed on the uni\'ersil.{ since Senator Stanford’s death. She too the management of the vast estate at the time of greatest business depression, and found it tangled and able to yield very little money. Since that time she has abandoned every social pleasure, devoted herself to business early and late, dis- played surprising strength of character and business ability, brought rigid econ- omy into play everywhere, even making her personal and household expenses less than those of many fairly weli-to-do_resi- dents of the Western Addition, and has supported the university largely from her private fortune. Since the filing of the Government suits not a dollar of the estate could be used, and cannot be until the Probute Court here orders the distribution of the estate. The Government suit has alone stood in the way of that for a year or more. The late Senator Stanford bequeathed $2,500,000 to the university in addition to the great endowment of land made before, but this $2,500,000 will not become avail- able before the distribution. The bulk of the estate bequeathed, to the value of many millions, goes to Mrs. Stanford, but it is a settled thing that she will leave it nearly all to the institution which it was | the noble and culminating ambition of | Mr. and Mrs. Stanford to found s a monu- ment to theinson, and which is now Mrs. Stanford’s sole interest. So even among people believing most strongly in the justice of the Government’s claim there is a sense of satisfaction that the money will go to the public anyhow, and few regret that the great plans for the university’s future are now likely to be carried out, THE OOMING CHURCH. The Rev. Mr. Gardner Talks About the People’s Tabernacle. The West Side Christian Church was taxed to its utmost last night to accommo- date the crowd that wanted to hear the pastor, Rev. W. H. Gardner, talk on the subject, ‘“Creed and Deed, or the Coming Church.” Mr. Gardner has now unde! way what is termed an institutional church, and wkich was described in his remarks last night. “Every man has a definite end, else he is like a watch without a spring, or an engine without steam,’”” he said. ‘A creed may be short, in fact the Apostles had only one creed and that a short one—Jesus is the church. As iong as this lasted the church prospered, but changes came and with it changes in the church. In this day it isnot a man’'s deeds which count, but his belief. All these changes have resulted in a condition of thingsin which Pfide and not religion takes a prominent ace. s “Millions are spent for costly churches, which, at most, are open three hours of each week of the fifty-two. Think of it, they are closed for 3i3 days of the year. Much of the dry rot ay existing in churches is found in their living up o the creed rather than the deed. “What we want is a church that will look more to deeds and less to creeds. We want an institution with its doors open every day in the year, the rich and poor alike welcome and its members filled' with the spirit of the man of Galilee. We want men who will come into it to work—to worship Jesus the Christ. Men wha will seek to make Christ known to the world by loving daily ministrations to the poor, the sick, the hungry and the helpless. This is what the coming church will be, and this is what the West,8ide Church i3 soon to become.” ——— NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS. .
