OFFICE OF THE STATE COUNCIL OF CALIFORNIA, Room 40, Academy of Sciences Buil 819 Market Street. SAN FRaNCISCO, Cal., Feb. 5, 1896. To the Editor of The Call: In my last communication I set forth the objects of the American Protective Association, as officially statea by the Supreme Council of the United States. Herewith I hand vyou the A. A. platform formulated by the Supreme Council in May, 1894, at Des Moines, Iowa, and reaffirmed in May, 1895, at Milwaukee, Wis. Inaccordance with my expressed intention I am as yet confining myself toa statement of the principles of the order. The planks of the platiorm I have, however, interspersed with questions to Peter C. Yorke—questions calculated to force him to define his position and shame him, if possible, out of the guerrilla meth- ods he has heretofore employed in'waging warfare against a patriotic organization. The planks of the A. P. A. platform will be found in quoted paragraphs. A.P.A.

They were coquettishly tied - Mrs. Mills claimed her husband married Isl and so or State legislation in favor of any one section of the country or of any claés? Mr. Editor: In my letter, which appeared in our columns last Sundey morning, in which I stated officiaily the objécts of the A. P. A, I Asked Mr. Yorke some questions because of his ayowed enmity to the order and his recent bitter attacks upon it. To. my surprise Mr. Yorke, heretofore so eager to_challenge and zeslous in reply, still at the end of three days maintains a sphinx-like silence, Isit that he cannot answer my questions though expressed in simple phrase? Or is it that he dare not? Z i is within the possibilities that those ueries escaped even his omniscient eye. I esire to give him the benefit of the doubt and would not wish to take an advantage of him even though to my questions his silence might, as the proverb has it, give consent.| For this reason I repeat the questions here, A FEW QUESTIONt uestion 1—Does Mr. Yorke deny that pol- Stieh pesd purifying OF does he object 1o their urificatiol Question 2—Does Mr. Yorke object to our at- tacking eny religlous organization ttempting to become 4 factor in polities? itics? Question 3- Mr. Yorke hostile to our aim to preserve i all foreign influence ? ion 4—Does Mr. Yorke regard religlo- tical organizations as friends to civil and religious liberty? : 3 Question 5—Ii not, in Mr. Yorke's opinion, unsafe and unwise to pat in office men who owe allegiance 1o a foreign power? Question 6—Is Mr. Yorke an enemy of the free pmblic school system and does he favor supplanting it with a sectarian institution? Question 7—-Does Mr. Yorke oppose protect- ing onr citizen laborers from European pauper and criminal labor and is he hostile to honest and educated immigrants who propose becom- ing American citizens and who will forswear allegiance to every foreign power? 4 Question 8—Does Mr. Yorke oppose pufting into oflice honest and true men—patriots who | are qualified and who owe allegiance solely to the stars and stripes? . My object in asking these questions is not to embarrass Mr. Yorke, nor to place him in any false position, but to secure if possible a definite statement of the particular principles of the A. P. A. which he, 8s an enemy of the organization, condemns. Respectfully, B. ¥. HUDELS0! . State President of the A.P. A. of Califor: WITH TRUE LOVER KNOTS Mrs. Jewett Decorates Her Home for a Tea for Miss Cheesman. Barton Hill's Daughter Weds—The Foorman Surprise Party—The Armer Reception. It was a young girls’ tea, in every sense of the term, the entertainment given yes- terday afternoou by Mrs. J. H. Jewett at her residence on Bush street. Miss Jennie Cheesman, a most popular sociely belle, was the guest of honor. Only young girls were invited. The decorations were such as make maidens utter number- less and ecstatic ohs! and ahs! There was delightful musicand the refreshments were dainty and elaborate. Mrs. Jewett’s home, which 1s so admir- ably adapted for entertaining, with its many large apartments which open into one another, was beautifully decorated for | the occasion. In the corridor, nestling in | the tangled midst of vines and ferns, was an immense bunch of golden eschscholtzia. In the dining and drawing rooms tender young wildflowers were used 10 reiieve the uniform green of the palms and'the many growing plants arrayed with artistic effect about the apartments. ! But quite the most attractive of all these | adornments were the true lovers’ knots | which stood out in bright relief from the dark wood walls. In the dining room there were pink lov- to picture frames, bonbon dishes and | vases, and they formed a border of delicate raised-work on the snowy damask table | cloth., In the library there were blue true lovers’ knots and wliite true lovers’ knots | and they even found a- place amid the se- | vere decorations of the drawing-room. Mrs. Jewett and Miss Cheesman received | the cuests, assisted by Miss Sallie May- nard, Miss Ethel Lincoln, Miss Jennie Catherwood, ‘Miss Wood, Miss Bessie Bowie, Miss Jennie Aldrich, Miss Mary Harrineton and Miss Della Mills. During the afternoon there were musical numbers by Miss Mills, Miss Catherwood and Miss Harrington. { The hours of the tea were from 4 till 6, | and there were about seventy-five young ladies present. Miss Marion Hill and Charles R. Hill were quietly married vesterday. at noon at the residence of the bride’s mother, 1718 Broderick street. Miss Hill is the daugh- ter of the veteran actor, Barton Hill, so well remembered in the paliny days of the old California Theater stock company. ‘With her mother ana sister she has fe- sided here for many years. The youn'g groom is the traveling auditor of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad._ | In the parlor of the family residence, standing in a bower of lilies, the happy oung couple were united by the Rev. Dr. K{aclenzie. The sister of the bride, Miss Leila Hill, was maid of honor, and Charles Barton Hill was best man. The bride wore a modish gown of mignon- ettee silk trimmed with old lace. Mr. and Mrs. Hill left yesterday after- noon for Galveston, Texas, and after a short visit will - proceed immediately to their home at Fort Worth, Barroness von- Schroeder will give a large luncheon to-day at her home on Sutter-street. 2 On Saturday last. Mrs. S. Foorman was delightfully surprised at her residence, 2022 California sireet, by a party of ladies, all indefatigable co-workers in the noble cause of charity. For the past twenty has been the honore most benevolent body, the Israelitcher Frauen Verein. Through her efforts and those of the ladies who have served so faithfully with her, the Frauen Verein has | an enviable record. Thousands of people have been aided by this beneficent society, and many thousands.of dollars expended. It was to testify their esteem and deep respect to the retiring president that the members of the old "board—Mrs. Sarah Plum, Mrs, Charles Fechheimer, Mrs. Sol Wangenheim, Mrs, George Greenzweig, Mrs. Eppinger, Mrs. William Herschfeld, Mrs. Hénnah Cook and Mrs. Joseph Din- kelspeil—headed by their venérable secre- tary, Leo Eloesser, tendered the lady a surprise party. Fortune favored the ladies, and during Mrs. Foorman's absence they took posses- sion of the home, decorating drawing- room, dining-room and corridor witl fragrant blossoms and palms and ferns. The table especially occupied their atten- tions, and when the ex-president of the verein returned home she was greeted by a most tempting and beautifal sight. Good cheer prevailed for several hours, and a most delightful afternoon was spent by all. A notable feature of the afternoon was the presentation by Secretary Eloesser, ina few well-chosén words, of a hand- somely framed set of illumined resolutions. Miss Minnie Mendelson was the guest of honor at a charming reception given at.the residence of the Misses Armer, 1316 Octavia street. Singing and dancing were the features of the evening ‘until mid-night, when an elaborate supper was’ served. Among the guests were: Mr, Larney Mendelson, ' Miss Edna Armer, Mr. Leo Silberstein, Miss T. Barnett, Mr. J. Kragen, Mr. Max Licht, Miss Minnie- Mendelson, Mr. Solomon, Mr. Jacobi, Miss Bessie Armer, Mr. Rosenberg, Miss Sarah Basch, Mr. Joseph Basch, Miss M.

An Exposure of the‘Methods of the Southern Pacific’s Paid Sym- pathizers. OARTAND OFFICE SAN Fraxcisco CALL, 908 Broadway, Feb. 4. z’ Much excitement was caused in political circles to-day by the receipt of dispatches from some of the California representa- tives at Washington asking what certain Ouklanders of some political weight were doing. The result. was the exposure of certain underhand methods being pursued by the Southern Pacific Company through their local lieutenants to create erroneous impressions at Washington regarding the | local feeling toward the refunding bill. Bome weeks ago a carefully written in- terview on the railroad matters now before Congress was handed to several people for signature. The affair was keptz profound secret and many men whose names carry weight were obtained. The document was a Machiavellian affair, that sought to con- vey ideas that were not expressed. It was in keeping with many similar documents that have been sent out by the railroad and published in papers that © are ~supposed ~to be its organs. Under the semblance of wishing to see justice done and of a desire for California’s welfare there was more than a hint that the bulk of anti-railroad agita- tion was without any foundation in fact. The gist of the double-barreled communi- cation was such as to create an impression at Washington that the people of Oakland were not opposed to refunding and did not ook with favor on foreciosure of the de- linquent roads. The paper arrived at Washington in due time, and there was consternation in the California delegation. It was a direct lie to the arguments being put forth by the representatives of this State against re- funding, and an explanation was de- munde§, Dispatches were sent to Oak- land, an inquiry was set on foot and then the discovery was made thatthe document signed by so many Oaklanders was not what it had seemed. Some feeling was displayed and those who had signed were particularly bitter against those who, they claimed, had per- suaded them to do so. One of the most prominent names was that of M. J. Lay- mance, chairman of the Alameda County Central Democratic Committee, There was gréat consternation when it became known that Laymance had gone on record as1n favor of refunding and an explana- tion was expected. Laymance stated to his friends that he signed the paper at the solicitation of his friend, ex-Senator W. E. Dargie. Lay- mance stated that he was not aware he had done anything of the nature attributed to him and immediately set about to rec- tify it. This was done by the getting of another document that was signed to-day by sev- eral who bad formerly signed the docu- ment that is already in Washington. Mr. Holcamb is another man who claims that he did not understand the original docu- ment. The refunding document reads as follows: To the Representatives in Congress: 1t has been reported o us that a certain document signed by some of the following is now in the hands of Congressmen. We wish it to be understood that anything purporting to come from us that is notin periect accord with the arguments and views expressed by Senator White and Congressman Maguire is false. Also anything that is in.any way opposed to foreclosure is notin accordance with our views, and if any document expressing contrary opinions has been signed by us it was done under misappre- hension of .the nature of the paper presented to us. The first signature to this document is that of Chairman Laymance, and then follow the names of the Democratic county committeemen. M. J. Laymance was seen to-night and asked about the matter and said: : It is true thet I have signed a paper to Con- gress stating that I am definitely in favor of the foreclosureof the delinquent roads and of everything advocated by Senator White dnd Congressman Maguire. 1 do not wish to talk of sng‘lhing else, but I have never been in fa- vor of the refunding bill. If I ever signed any such paper I did not know its meaning. JUST LIKE NEW WOME, Berkeley Co-Eds Will Not Get Food for the Young Col- lege Men. The Girls Decided to Let the Other Students Provide for Them- selves. BERKELEY, Car., Feb. 4.—The co-eds of the university decided to-day aftera discussion lasting for an hour and a half -to let the ‘“student labor” brigade get their noonday meal in the best way they can while building the proposed new walks and drives through the university grounds, At least 150 girls were present when the meeting was called to order by Miss Mil- licent Shinn, a graduate who had been asked to preside. The co-eds talked and talked, they passed resolutions and then they voted them down. They became ex- cited anid then they calmed down again, they adjourned once and then came to- gether again. It was a veritable battle be- tween the graduates and the undergradu- ates, of which the former were ‘the de- cided minority. The alumni, such as were present, in a body upheld the vroposition to’ supply the luncheon, and the undergraduates almost to a single co-ed did not seem to know which side to take, so strongly did gradu- ates uphold their end. The leading objec- tion made to the plan seemed to be that to serve sandwiches and coffee to the denim- attired collegians would only mean the lowering of their dignity as young lady students, without accomplishing any last- ing good. They thought that it would be much better to take the money which would be reguired in order to serve the students properly and spend it in the pur- chase or erection of an improvement to the campus, such as a triumphal arch for the entrance or a stone sidewalk. Some stated that their brothers and cousins had said to them that they did not want to be seen in their overalls and jump- ers, and that they would be better pleased if the co-eds kept away while the work was going on. The reason they .voted .down the proposition did not seem to spring from any feeling of disloyalty, but. from a belief in the impropriety and the impracticability of the scheme. Finally it was voted to appoint a committee of five, three undergraduates and two gradu- ates. to confer with Regent Reinstein with the view to agreeing on some plan which the women students would be disposed to carry out. 5 3 " Students Object.” . BERKELEY, CaL., Feb, 4.—It is report- ed that the present college term will be extended one week to make allowance for the week that is to be devoted to labor on the college grounds by students. Such a plan meets with a good deal of opposition among students, who are ready to do the Jabor, but inclined to demur to the expense of remaining in Berkeley an extra week. It is argued that the cost of so doing would be enough to pay for the work of improving the university grounds. The ‘Proposed extension of the term has aroused the first opposition that has appeared amon, stu(fents to doing the work out- lined by Regent Reinstein for the improve- ment of the grounds. The License Ordinance. BERKELEY, Car., Keb.4—The License Committee of the Town Trustees, consist- ing of Trusiees Cripps and Hoff, held a conference with a number of business men at the Towr: Hall last night on the subject of the recent objections to the license ordi- nance. A petition has already been pre- sented to the Trustees, asking that the ordinance be repealed, and especially the section relating to the licensing of vehicles. Messrs. Cripps and Hoff heardjexpressions of sentiment from W.J. Schmidt, E. F. Gordon and Messrs. Fraser and D. Jones, and it 1s to-night likely that a measure for reduction of the license will be introduced at the next meeting of the Town Trustees. Surplus Deposits. BERKELEY, Car., Féb. 4.—A new regu- lation of the Regents of tue State Univers- ity regarding deposits of money by stu- dents taking laboratory work is causin quite a’ stir among such students. Eac student working in the_laboratories is re- quired to make a deposit of from $12 50 to $25 to cover the expense of material used. It hasup to this ume been customary to return to the depositors at the end of the term the amount left over after the pur- chase of materials needed, but the regents have made an order that about $1000 sur- plus of last term shall be applied for mate- rial for High School visitors to the labo- ratories. Football Nominations. BERKELEY, Oav., Feb. 4.—The nomi- nations for football manager for the sea- son of "96 will take place to-morrow after- noon. G. F. Reinhardt '97 and F. P. Tay- lor ’97 are the only two candidates whose names have been prominently mentioned | for the candidacy. The élection will take place next Monday, in which the entire student body will take part. The date of election of football captain has been set for next Saturday. Captain Sherman is up for re-election and Ran- some, the famous fullback, 18 also in the field. 7 Lecture Postponed. BERKELEY, CaL., Feb. 4.—The lecture that was to have been delivered next Fri- day evening in Stiles Hall by Colonel Greenleaf has been postponed on account of the Carnot debate, which takes place at Btiles Hall next Friday evening. .Colonel Greenieat’s lecture will be delivered later in the course arranged for by the Unita- rian Society, the next lecture of the series that will be delivered being that of Dr. David Starr Jordan.

Robinson and Miss May Cooper. Beating Association. BERKELEY, CarL., Feb. 4.—The Uni- versity Boating Association has received an 1nvitation to take part in the regatta to be beld on Lake Merritt on Washing- ton’s birthday. The boating crew has not yet been formed at the university, but efforts will be made to organize one in time to accept the invitation.

CLOSING THE CEMETERIES Richmond Residents Are Divided in Their Views on' the Matter. A Dual Meeting Gives Each Side a Chance to Speak — The Ordi- nance Condemned. There was trouble at Richmond last night about the cemetery ordinance.: Charles H. Hubbs had called a mass- of the Richmond District Property-own- ers’ Association, for the purpose of getting from the residents an expression of their approval of the new ordinance. Mr. Hubbs called the meeting to order and Editor Bond of the Richmond Banner read a set of resolutions prepared by the association. The document premised that the cemeteries had been during thepasta great eyesore, menace and impediment to the advancement of Richmond district, with their array of tombstones and barren, desolate graves, some forsaken and un cared for, and others impregnated with-all man- ner of contamination. The resolutions wenton to give to the Mayor and Board of Supervisors the assur- mond heartily indorsed their action. Thea tue trouble began. F. A. Maestretti suggested that the reso- Iutions be voted upon seriatim, and not as a whole. Mr. Hubbs hastily submitted the mation to the vote of the association’s members present, who carried it, despite a storm of hoots, groans and hisses, ard. the meeting adjourned amid great confusion. After adjournment all precent remained, vociferating wilaly, and fo: a time dis- order reigned. At length, Mr. Maestretti took the chair vacated by Mr. Hubbs and imposed silence upon the excited throng. “I see plainly,” he remarked, ‘‘that the proceedmgs thus far have not met with the apprcbation of a large number of those resent. Since this is the case, we had tter consider the meeting reopened.’ T. B. McDonald, or “* War Horse McDon- ald,” as be likes to be called, then gave ex- pression to the views of his constituents. ““For weeks and months,” he said, *little grouns of four or five men have been meeting together here and passing resolu- tions made by themselves, which they foisted upon the press as expressions of Richmond opinion. The people of Rich- mond, in fact, never saw those resolutions until they appeared in the newspapers. *I tell you, friends, thera sre land sharks about. They aie trying to boom the stock of the San Mateo -cemeteries, and they know they can’t do it until they ruin the cemeteries here. They have an eye on the. cemeteries, too.” B o Editor Bond attempted to protest, but was suppressed. Several -Other sveakers then addressed the meeting, all being on the side advo- cated by McDonald. The cheering and szlmming were uproarious, but not dis- orderly, €y At length Charles Dillon offered a set of resolutions, which were atiopted amid the wildest applause, declaring that the ordi- nance in point was a menace to the prop- -erty adjacent to the cemeteries and had been passed in the interestof corporations.

NEW CHARGES AGAINST HEALY. The Captain Speaks for Himself—A Mellow Witness Excused From Testifying. Lieutenant Georze M. Daniels, of the United States revenue cutter Bear, isin very hot water. As soon as the Healy investigation closes a long list of scrious charges against the dashing young lieut- enant will be inguired into. As to the matter of these charges little of a definite character can be stated, as ail parties to the affair observe the strictest silence when. questioned in relation to it. The lieutenant himself hotly denies that mental aberration figures among the ac- cusations against him, and is much dis- tressed on account of a rumor to that effect which has got abroad. When he appeared before the court of Inquiry yes- terday as a witness against Captain Healy his eyes were .red and swollen asif with weeping, and his appearance generally seemed to indicate that he had passed a sleepless and most unhappy night. Dr. Bodkin, who is credited with formu- lating the charges against Daniels, is ex- ceedingly reticent on the subject. ““It. is true,”” he said vesterday, with great reluctance, ‘‘that several officers have seen fit to get up a list of serious charges against Lieutenant Daniels, and that these charges will come up for investigation as soon as the Healy case coneludes. Further than this I ¢an say nothing.”’ ““What is the nature of ‘he was asked. “That question I cannot answer,” re- plied the doctor. I am under the strict- est grders to .say nothing whatever to any one in this connection.” ‘‘But you can at least say what proced- ure will be employed, or whether any steps have been taken.” “‘No,” rejoined the surgeon, “I cannot say anything at all without exposing my- self to a reprimand. The procedure o{- served in the Daniels case will _be prac- tically the same as that in the Healy in- vestigation, with the exception of certain points of official etiquette which depend upon the rank of the accused. Mr. Dan- iels has received notice to prepare: his de- fense without delay, and must be ready to present it as soon as the proceedings against Captain Healy terminate. e seems to feel rather sore about it, too.” At the Healy inguiry yesterday William Boundy, gunner of the Bear, testified that the captain was strict but polite with his subordinates. The witness had frequently heard Daniels refer to the captain as *“that — old fool.”” Quartermaster J. P. Peterson, also of the Bear,said the vessel had never been in danger through any neglect, intemperance or incompetency on the captain’s part. When the captain was convalescing at Unalaska, after his fall from the wharf, he had heard Daniels remark: *‘It seems good w,hnve the old dog out of the way, doesn't it2n Hugh Meenan was to have been the next witness, only he wasn’t. He had received his pay a_day or so before, and was in a most genial though somewhat befuddled frame of mind. On the table near the judge-advocate are two copies of the Bible, one of the King James version, which the Protestant witnesses touch when bein; sworn, and the other a somewhat batteres specimen of the translation made by Eng- lish colleges of Rheims and Douay, which serves the same_purpose for the Catholics. Each witness, before taking the oath, is interrogated as to his religious belief, and sworn accordingly. Meenan did his best to stand straight, and succeeded fairly well. “Mr. Meenan, what is your religion?” asked Lieutenant Reynolds. ‘‘Able seaman, sir,” responded the wit- ness, evidently much impresséd by the gravity of his surroundings. » *‘Not your pesition, but your religion,”. explained the judge-advocate. “Ain’t I after telling you?” rejoined the witness, considerably nettled. Both sides put their heads together and the charges?” decided that the testimony of Meenan, though likely to prove -interesting, could be dispensed with. “You are excused, Mr. Meenan,” said the judge-advocate blandly. o *No, sir,”’ exclaimed the jolly tar in great excitement, “I’ve been at sea for twenty-five years, and I'm not to be run out in this fashion.” “You seem to be somewhat at sea now,”” commented Reynolds, grimly, and at his command the witriess was gently but effectnally “run out” into the corridor. Harry Smitb, coxswain of the Bear, tes- tified to the captain’s strictness, courtesy and impartiality with the officers. 'He had seen him intoxicated at Unalaska, at sea and at Sausalito. f Robert Wilson, a seaman aboard the Bear, when asked as to the captain’s al- leged intempérate habits, positively re- fused to answer. “I have a wife and family dependent upon me,”’ he explained, “and I don’t want to lose my place. The other day Engineer Van Zandt testified in the cap- tain's fdvor and was discharged for doing 80, and I wilinot share his fate,”” and this was all that anybody could get out of Mr. ‘Wilson. Quartermaster William F. Quintall tes- tified that he had been with Captain Henlr three vears, and found him uni- formly kind, but just even to rigor. At the opening of the afternoon ss=sion Frederick Arnold, a seaman, gave testi~ mony identicai with that of Quintall. Captain Healy then took the stand in his own behalf, and made his statement in a most dignified and impressive man- ner. 3 “I deny,” he said, ‘‘that I was intoxi- cated on the days mentioned in the com- plaint. As to the Gray episode, the ofii- cers had complained to me that Gray had slighted them in an unpardonable fashion, mfi I' took their part. I called Gray to task for what I thought to be his shabby treatment of my men, and referred him to Messrs. Daniels & Co. for further particu- lars. The officers refused to make any ex- -planation, though their complaints alone Elfl made me ask Gray to explain his conduct. ‘‘When I found that my own men were evidently endeavoring to make a fool of me I was_much incensed and utterly dis- gusted. I left them to fix things with Mr. Gray as best they could, and fetired to my cabin. Since then Mr. Gray and I have eome to an understanding, and are now as fast friends as before. “All the way from Sitka to Unalaska,” ursued the captain, “I was under Dr. odkin’s care, and suffered considerable from la grippe. But I did not allow the vessel to suffer by reason of my illness, and frequently in" direct contravention of the doctor’s orders I have gone on deck when I thounght my presence necessary for the preservation of order or for the proper management of the cutter. Idid not neglect my dutg during that period, nor have I done so during all my years in the service of my country.” . Lieutenant niels was called in re- buttal. He reiterated all his former state.. ments against his suvperior, and denied having endeavored to influence the testi- mony of the two Japanese cabin-boys. - Here the taking of evidence on the third set of charges ceased and the remaining accusations were taken up. These in- clude charges of drunkennessat sea during the months of June and August, 1895, in- civility to officers, the shipping of desert- ersand discharged seamten and the per- mitting of incomplete entries in the cut-' ter's log. The last charge refers to' ant 5 i occasion when the captain had placed Lieutenant White under arrest for some violation of discipline. Later, when White, naving been released from incar- ceration, was writing up the logbook, the captain told him he ‘might omit any refer- ence to his arrest if he desired it not to appear on record. White left out the entry and afterward spoke of the fact, thus giv- ing color to the charge aFninst his com- mander of keeping incomplete records. Lieutenant Daniels was the first to take the stand against his commander. He said that during the months of June and August, 1895, the captain was almost con- stantly under the influence of liquor to such an extent as to be ineapable of man- aging the vessel, which ‘several times was in grave danger from rocks and icebergs. The captain’s intoxication was, he alleged, s0 marted and continual that he and Lien-, tenant Buhner had on one occasion thought best to remove all the liquor from their superior’s cabin. What was done with the liquor the witness did not state. On cross-examination he claimed that the captain’s condition was unmistakably due to excessive drinkin% & A large number of witnesses haye still to be examined, and the judge-advocate seems inclined to hold eyening sessions< during the remainder of the inquiry. The idea, however, meets with little favor from the younger officers, who have become quite popular in ‘a social way, and resent any intrusion upon their “‘evenings out.” ALONG THE WATER FRONT Terrible Experience of the Créw of the British Ship Nineveh. The Vessel Was Water-Loggéd and Sinking Fast When the Boats Were Manned. ‘The schooner Compeer arrived from New Whatcom yesterday with thé crew of the British ship Nineveh on board. They were picked up south of Cape Flattery, havine deserted the vessel, which was. in a sinking condition. Afterward the wreck beinga menace to navigation was set on fire, and it was the Nineveh which was reported on Puget Sound: as burned to the water's edge a few days ago. The rescued men are as fol- lows: Captain Robert Bruafoot, Robert M. Reaaer, first officer; W. Evelyn, second officer; S. Davidson, carpenter; F. Leigh, steward; W. Frampton, cook; James Ringwood, A. McGilvery, W. Leonard, L. ‘Woodruff, C. Olsen, A. Olsen, B. Pris, C. Cryeth, J. Thomas, Otto Riause, B. Row- lan, A. Arptune, D. Darkston and D. Stewart, seamen. The Nineveh sailed from Moodyville on January 13 last with 840,000 feet of lumber aboard for Sydney, N. 8. W. In his report the captain says: On Friday, January 24, we leit Clallam Bay, and passed Cape Flattery at 3:30 P. M. with & strong northeast wind and a illllnf glass. The 0 ship was under upper topsailsand lower main- topsails. . At8P. M. the wind hauled southeast znd used all hands freshened to & heay. Sy > ship to under and shortened sail, lower main-topsails. : Saturday, January 25, it was blowing a per- fect hurricane with a mountainous sea break- ing heavily over the ship, shiftiug the deck cargo on starboard side, starting all the stanchions and causing the ship to leak badly. All hands were kept at the pumps, but could not keep the water under control, there being five feet of water in the hold. At noon the wind séemed to take & fresh lease of its strength and blew with unabated fury, the seas having no mercy when they broke. One sea in particular swept the snip fore and aft, the heaviest part breaking clean over the men at the pumps, shifting deck cargo considerably and breaking the pump-handle and also injuriug four of the men. One had his forehead severely cut and the others were jammed in the timber; but in spite of all they elung to the pumps as they would to life, cheered by the much-esteemed chief officer, who with the crew never flinched from his duty. | 'The steam was then got up and connected to the pumps. The crew came ait to see what the captain would do, and was told he would try and get to Cape Flattery, and at 4 P. M. wore ship. Later on in theevening the wind headed us and our last resort was to fire up rockets with the hope of a ship seeing our signal. Sunday, the 26th, at 8 o’clock, after firing up rockets all might, daylight broke with a schooner in sight, port bow on pors tack. The crew came aft for a second time and asked the captain to signal for assistance, which was done, and the schooner hove to under our lee and at once we got' starboard boat over, when crew got in and left the ship under three lower topsails and one aback, and pulled to the schooner Compeer of San Francisco, and bound for that port. feaving We were received on n' every _attention, but ief officer we agement, the ship having settled so very much during the intervai and the main deck awash, secured sufflcient{p}!&?vlsiog: 'l‘?‘l’:lsugn:b{ctt:)ealuny e. e onger, as the weather was threatening, & Tepetition of what we had just gone through, o hurried awag from the ship in oider that she should not bejs dangerous obstacle l?ln": igation.

M.,about six miles off, she was all ablaze and a]l of a sudden disap- peared. 3 The statement is attested by Captain Sorenson, Chief Officer 1. Lappin and Sec- ond Officer Graham of the schooner Com- peer. On the way down the Compeer met with a mishap. 8. E. Loopstom fell from aloit on January 23 and- was drowned. He was a native of Sweden, aged 28 years. Other vessels that were in the same storm as_the Nineveh were the schooner Uranus and ship Columbia. While off the Columbia River on January 25 the Uranus was caught in the southeaster and had all her deckload of lumber washed away. No one was hurt and the schoonar reached port without any further mishap. The Columbia was canght in the gale on Janu- ary 23, off Cape Flattery, and had her bul- warks stove in and her rudder-head car- ried away. All the skippers say that they never before experienced such heavy weather on the coast. f The old bark Sharpshooter, which was recently sold, will be moved to the foot.of Fifth street to-day. The trouble between the owners of the Roanoke and the towboat-owners is no nearer a settlement than it was yesterday. The latter assert that they have been boy- cotted by the Sewells, and Captain Gray says ‘his company is ready te-day, and always has been ready, to move the Sew- ells’ vessels at contract rates.
