10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1896 b TURKISH AR HERD. Arrival of the Russian Admiral G. Makaroff, Fighter and Inventor. HAS BATTLED ON MANY SEAS. fourth remedy for preserving the safety of the ship consists of 8 means whereby leaking may be stopped. Twenty-five years ago I proposed the use of collision mats; one of them was exhibited at the Vienna Exhibition, and every man-of-war of every nation has them now. Lately I have improved the apparatus, but although they are invaluable on men-of-war I do not think they will be ever accepted for merchant ships, be- cause in order to use them to advantage the crew must be regularly drilled. I do not say the mats are useless for commercial ships, but there are now more important improvements which have prior claims toour attention. Now I return to ‘the second remedy. The gen- eral opinion is_that the colliding blmn: is so very powerfullthat nothing can mimimize the | effect of it; but 1 can give proofs that even The Best Way to Keep Great Ships; From Sinking in Times of Peace or War. Rear-Admiral S. Makaroff, the hero of the Russo-Turkish war, formerly com- mander of the Russian fleet in the Med- iterranean, and Iately commander of the same fleet in the Pacific, is at the Cali- forn He is on his way to take command of the Russian squadron in the Baltic. Rear Admiral Makaroff is one of the most famous men in the Russian navy. He has been in many great batties at sea, | and has won promotion in many instances because of his signal bravery. Besides a great fighter he is an author ! foot tons, while the muzzle energy of one 12- when the force of the blow is comparatively slight the skin of the ship is penetrated. Itis & matter of fact that the vertical stem acts as a knife and that very little energs is required to penetrate the skin of the ship which is run o. 1B ¥% know, for instance that the Crathie, the steamer which sank the big ocean liner Elbe, was of v small dimensions, and struck when she was going at a very moderate rate of speed. Everybody knows that the Elbe went to the bottom in a very snort space of time and a few of the passengers and crew were saved. Iwas witness to a similar case in the Bosphorus. A Russian steamer, Azove, touched a big French mail steamer, the Provence. The speed of the Azove at the moment of collision was nog more than two or three knots, but her stem made a hole in the skin of the Provence, and the latter immediately went to the bot- t om. A big ironclad of 10,000 tons ramming at five knots speed gives a striking blow of 15,000 Rear-Admiral S. Makaroff, the Noted Inventor and Hero of the Russo-Turkish War. and inventor, known the world over. His | inventions comprise bulkheads of his own contrivance for preventing ships from sinking, cushions for rams on warships, so | that at times of peace they may not acci- dentally injure other vessels, and many other contrivances. | His whole life, when not fighting, has | been given in a large measure to a study | of how to prevent ships from sinking. | The famous rear-admiral was here thirty-four years ago, when a midshipman in thenavy. It was in 1864, at the time of vil war. It will be remembered that | issia, with a feeling of friendship toward | the United States, sent two vessels to this | country, one to New Yotk and the other | to San Francisco. The rear-admiral, | then a youth of 14, was aboard the latter vessel. He has had many thrilling anda danger- | ous experiences in the different waters of | the world since then. He was given the | rank of lieutenant for the invention of the collision mat and received two promotions | during the war -yi‘h Turkey. He was first made captain of a corvette and then cap- tamn of a frigate. The reason of the first captaincy was because he wasthe first man | to hoist boats with torpedos. The promo- | tion to the second poeition was because he attacked and subdued a Turkish fleet in its own harbor. After that he made a specialty of attack- ing the fleets of the Turks in their harbors, and, as all readers of naval history know, sank many vessels. His last voyage around the world was as commander of the Victory. The voyage was begun in 1886 and ended in 1889, and was for the study of the temperature and specific gravity of water. For his work then he was made chief of artillery in the | Russian navy. He took four vears and wrote a book called “The Victory and the | Pacific.” It isin Russian and Frenchand | contains all his corclusions in regard to | temperatures and specific gravities. It is customary for the Russian Academy of Sciences to each year award prizes to | the authors of the most valuable scientific books issued during the year. In 1894, the year the book came outy the admiral re- cerved the first prize. | Before the rear-admiral sailed from | Hongkong on the City of Peking, on which he reached here yesterday, he delivered an address before the Hongkong Chamber of Commerce on devices for minimizing the effects of collisions at sea. There were vresent many notable men from the navies of England, Germany and other countries. The address attracted great attention. + The rear-admiral says that after avoid- ing collisions altogether, if possible, the second and most important thing is to minimize the damages that may occur and the third is to have water-tight bulkheads. | The admiral is a very entertaining con- versationalist. Inan interview last night he said: If we cannot accept guns, capstans, winches, etc., without trial, why then do we accept | bulkherds without trfal? I propose ihat when & ship has been fitted with engines, boilers, weter-tight doors and everything else which cannot be damaged by water, s trial of the bulkheads should take place by filing the | compartments with fresh water to the upper | part of the bulkheads. This trial ought to be made in the presence | of competent officials, who should certify that the bulkheads are strong enough to withstand the full pressure of water, and that they are water-tight. This trial over, the boilers, cylin- ders, pipes, etc., can then be covered with the usual non-conducting composition and the | cabin fittings put in their proper place. Prob- | ably all this work will occupy & week or so, but the loss of time will be amply compensated for | by the ship being guaranteed absolutely trust- | worthy in this respect. 1f the collision takes place upon one of the main bulkheads two | compartments are filled with water. In order to &void this I propose that each | main bulkhead should be supplied with extra | small water-tight compartments at the side of | the ship, from ten to twelve feet wide. Then | the collision would only affect one bulkhead of these small compartments, and the result | would be that instead of two big compartments | being filled with water only one big compart- | ment aud the little one would be flooded. The | | vers well when you propel the projectile with | are thrown with the very same energy into the | Judge Slack issued the order yesterday in | anxious that their children be afforded inch projectile is 20,000 foot tons. You know this energy one way the gun and the carriage opposite direction. Should nothing be ar- ranged to withstand this blow & lot of damage would necessarily follow. But hydraulic buf- fers easily ubsorb this energy in a space of two feet, and really the shock is scarcely felt on board the ship. The rear-admiral has yet other ideas in regard to how to prevent the loss of great ships. He has devoted a great deal of time and attention to the subject, and is one of the foremost men of his time in investiga- tions of this kind. He is now 48 years old, and is a fine type of the Russian commander, being a giant in size and in every way of striking ap- | pearance. He will be in the City several days, and will visit the "Tnion Iron Works, if he can do so, and see tue process of ship-building there. He will also visit the Lick Ob- servatory on Mount Hamilton. FAIR CHILDREN'S CLAIMS, They Will Be Sold Under an Order Made by Judge Slack. Collateral Inheritances Which Will Be Bought at Their Face Value, The interests of the minor collateral heirs to the Fair estate are to be sold. pursuance of testimony previously given and of an affidavit sent from Ida County, IlL., by Thomas E. Fair, father of the children whose interests are to be sold. This bears out the statement made by Tre Carn two months ago, and vocifer- ously denied in certain quarters. In his affidavit Fair says that owing to the failure of crops and the low prices of farm produets for several years past, his income from the farm hasbeen very small, and he has become involved in a consider- able amount of debt and has been forced to mortgage his farm in order to meet the actual expenses of his family. He says further that all the children are living with him and are dependent upon him for their support and education. There are no schools near his house, affiant says, and owing to his financial con- dition it frequently happens that those of the children who are old enough to work upon the farm are detained from school in order to assist with the farm work. He says his wife and himself are both very better opportunities for education and ad- vancement in life than it is possible for them, with their limited means, and if the minors can come into their estates, affiant will be enabled, from the income there- from, to provide more euitably for his children. But if, as is quite possible, the estate of James G. Fair be involved in Iitigation, and remain undistributed for years, the opportunity te attend schools and to take full advantage of the legacies will have been passed and the principal value of the legacies will be lost. The affiant therefore prays that the court allow the interests to be sold, provided, however, that not less than $1111 11 be accepted for each. No action was taken in the cases of the Lundy children, as no afiidavit has yet been received from their parent, and Judge Slack is unwilling to order their interests sold until such affidavit as to their finan- cial condition’be forthcoming. LT Teamsters Arrested. The police last Wednesday warned all drivers of heavy vehicles found on Golden Gate avenue and notified by eircular all truck- men and draymen that the avenue had been declared a boulevard by resolution o: the Board of Supervisors. A few days’ grace was to be allowed before making any arrests and yester- day it was decided to take action. Asa result George McGrath, teamster; M. Compagno, teamster; Julius Garnaud, lsundryman, and G. F. Hetty, teamster, were arrested. They were released on giving $5 bail. THE GALLAGHER BEQUEST, How Miss Margaret Nugent Copied the Draft of the Will MEMORIAL BRICK IN WALLS. Chief Justice Windeyer of Australia Bobbed Heads With Superior Judge Hunt. The Australian and American judiciary sat together in judgment when Justice Windeyer and Judge Hunt occupied the bench in the latter’s courtroom yesterday merning. His-Honor from the antipodes made the rounds of the City Hall early in the morning and sat through a session in Department 5 of the Superior Court, where the Ellen Gallagher will case was being tried. The visitor noted carefully the proceedings and expressed himself as highly pleased with the system and digni- fied movements of an American trial court. The ‘“‘Hanging Judge” of New South Wales, as he is called, with his strong, inteilectual face, looks every whit the firm, unbending judiciary in the seat of justice. In the opening of the case of P. J. White, administrator of the estate of Ellen Galla- gher against Denis Nugent et al, Mr. Hayes stated that the amount of the trust funds or donations in the hands of Denis Nugent at the commencement of the suit was $24,000. Since then, under permission of the court for the protection and closing of the building, $9000 of that sum had been spent. IMiss Margaret Nugent, sister of the de- fendant, was called to the stand by plain- tiff for rebuttal. Witness testified that she copied from a rough, ill-spelled draft, Mrs, Ellen Gallagher’s will, at the request of the testatrix. This was in Mrs. Galla- gher's room and nobody was present ex- cept those two. “After you had copied that memoran- dum,”’ asked Mr. Henley, ‘‘what did you do with the original paper?”’ “I do not know. I do not remember.” “Did you give it to Mrs. Gallagher?” I do not remember what I did with it.” “Is your mind a perfect blank as to what you did with it?” I do not remember.” “You remember that there was no one present but yourself ana Mrs. Gallagher?’” s, sir.”’ *Did Mrs. Gallagher ever speak to you about that memorandum ?"’ I do not remember.” “Did you ever say anything to your brother Denis about this?” “No, sir; I never said anything to him about The evening it was signed I told him Mrs. Gallagher had made a will.”” “Did he know of it already 2"’ Objection was made and overruled and the witness answered: “No, sir.” The witness could not swear positively as to what days her brother was at Mrs, Gallagher's house, but was sure he was not there the day she signed her will. “Had you ever had any conversation with Denis Nugent about the execution of the will?” asked Henley. “No, sir; I did not.” “Did you ever hear him say anything about the execution of any will by Mrs. Gallagher?” you ever hear her have any conver- sation with him about the disposition by Elien Gallagher of her property 2" This question was objected to asimma- terial and not rebuttal, The court—I will allow it as a matter of discretion. No, sir,” answered the witness. Mr. Henley—Did you ever have any con- versation with Denis Nugent in regard to the disposition by Ellen Gallagher of her estate, or her property or money. Question objected to upon the same ground; objection overruled; exception taken. “No, sir.” “Did you not know, for some time prior to the death of Mrs. Gallagher, that she was disposing, by purported gifts, to your brother of large sums of money and prop- erty?” . SN e RiT." ‘‘And that never was mentioned between you and your brother?” Question objected to as leading; objec- tion overruled; exception taken. *‘I knew she was giving money to build the church.” “I will ask you if this had not been made a matter of talk between you and your brother, Denis Nugent?” Mr. Campbell—I object to the question. There is a distinction between conversa- tion about disposition of the property and whether or not they talked about her giy- ing the money. Mr. Henley—Was this matter ever talked about? Did youand your brother Denis ever kold any conversation in respect to the disposition of the money and property of Ellen Gallagher? Mr. Campbell—I object. Objection overruled; exception taken. ‘“Yes, sir, I knew she was building the church.” Mr. Henley—Am % to understand by that that you did talk about the disposition by Ellen Gallagher of her estate with your brother? “Yes, sir; [ knew she was giving him the money for the church.”” -Did you talk with your brother about it?” “Yes, sir, in general.”” “Frequently ?* “Yes, sir.” The witnese stated that on the Monday after Mrs. Gallagher's death she got the will out of a drawer in_ the deceased woman’s room and gave it to Denis Nu- gent. She did not remember the general contents of the will, except that it left $2500 apiece to several nephews and nieces and $5000 in trust to the brother in lreland. In the cross-examination by Mr. Camp- well she said that Mrs. Gallagher, before she died, went down to the unfinished St. Roce's Church and placed two bricks in the walls, one for her husband and one for herself. Attorney Kearney forjthe plaintiff in the opening argument assailed the motives of the defense with such vigor, and went into the relizious merits of the case so deeply that the main fact of the question was lost sight of. At the close of his remarks Mr. Campbell moved that the defense follow the lead of the plaintiff and submit the case without argument. Mr. Henley, however, took up the argu- ment and held that the burden of proof lay upon the defense. They must show that no undue influence was brought to bear upon Mrs. Gallagher when she made her will. Mr. Campbell will address the jury this morning, followed by Mr. Henley for the closing. IS NOT APPEALABLE. Some' New Points in Probate Law Outlined. The Supreme Court, in dismissing the appeal from the order of the lower court, setting aside the appointment of a guar- dian ad litem and a petition for the revo- cation of the probate of the will of Anna M. Hathaway, has outlined an interesting point in the law of guardians. The order setting aside the appointment of a guar- dian is not appealable, the 8upreme Court says. A guardian is appointed by the court, and that and his remcval are under the control of the court in which the case is pending. The orfier dismissing the petition for revocation of probate is also not appeal- able, for the Supreme Court says: Appel- late jurisdiction in such probate matters may only be provided by law, and while Section 963, Code of Civil Proced- ure, authorizes an appeal from an order revoking the probate of a will, it does not atthorize an appeal from an order deny- ng the revocation of probate or dismissing & petition therefor. INSPECTED A SITE. The Mayor Has Selected s Pesthouse Location South of South San Francisco. The Health and Police Committes of the Board of Supervisors paid a visit yesterday to the site selected by Mayor Sutro for the Pesthouse. The block is situated on the bay shore south of South San Francisco, and while considered a choice spot so far as danger to the City is concerned, it is so hard of access, on account of the road lead- ing to it, the members of the committee gave it as their opinion that unless the road is vastly improved the site will not do. The Hospital Committee of the Board of Health made an attempt to reach me| proposed site, but failed because the | vehicle conveying the party broke down. | Secretary Godchaux was gazing despai ingly at the wrecked carriage when Her- man Schussler, the engineer of the Spring Valley Company, happened along and in- | quirea what the trouble was. He acted the good Samaritan, for in his buggy was a plentiful supply of ropes and | other appliances intended for just such ! emergencies, and he soon had the health | officials’ carriage in a fair condition to return to the City. The committee of the Supervisors will ON THE ROLLING DEEP. Ethel Corona Seidel Born on the Steamer Corona Last Tuesday. MOTHER AND CHILD ARE WELL The Family Was on the Way to San Francisco From Humboldt Bay. A welcome little stranger came into the world at 1:40 . . last Tuesday morning, Who, if she grows to womanhood, will have hard work explaining just where she was born. It was on the Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s steamer Corona, but in what latitude and longitude is not exactly known, as Captain Doran had no means of ascertaining, but it was not very far from Point Arena, and with that the little woman will have to be satisfied. The child was not expected until the latter part of next month, and the mother was afraid it might die.

Redding, who are well known in San Francisco, have been visiting some of the places in London town which possess significant in- terest to readers of English literature, The following letter from Colonel Hawes came to Charles Josselyn yesterday : The other day Joe and I were dining at the old Cheshire Cheese, the haunt and hebitat o1 Dr. Samuel Johnson and of Goldswith and many others of note in English literature. It was irom here while the bailiffs were outside waiting to nab Oliver Goldsmith that Dr. John- son carrled the manuscript of the “Vicar of Wakefield” and sold it 1o & publisher for £60 and thus kept the poor chap out of quod. We sat in_the corner where the ponderous Semuel and Boswell and a select circle used to sit. The pewter mug even looked as if it might have furnished the better bee: for the doctor and his confreres. So we had it inscribed and send it to the Bohemian Club as a souvenir of the Cheshire Cheese and of Dr. Samuel and of our visit to London. The oid tavern is by far the best preserved ndon. They serve a bird “stewed cheese” which will knock any liver silly. We both join in the request that you present the mug to the club in memory of that old bohemian whose honor we drunk, draining it from his own coair in his favorite corner. It goes forward by express, addressed to you at the Bohemian Club. Sincerely yours, ALEX G. HAWEs, The pewter is inscribed on the side, ie here and also Named.

RATES B THE ISTHMUS, The Panama Railroad Com- pany Issues a New Schedule. Westbound Tariff on Freight Is Not Changed, Though Trouble Is Brewing. The Panama Railroad Company, through ite general agent, E. H. Hinton, in this City, is issuing circulars giving rates of freight from New York, Boston, Philadel- phia and Baltimore and points common with each to San Francisco. This new schedule does not show any reduction on the old rates. It shows, however, thatthe truce very recently established by the Panama and Pacific Mail corporations is not working as pleasantly as was antici- pated at first. The Panama Company was not able to satisfy the Pacific Mail and C. P. Huntington, its guiding beacon, and now it has come to pass that the former is endeavoring to get a share of the business in freight from Eastern cities to San Francisco. The schedule is as follows: Effective February 15, 1895, and good until Apail 1, 1896, unless sooner revoked, the fol- lowing will be the Class rates to San Francisco from New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and points common with each, and sl from points common with New York: 1008 78 M AsEA B0 D 113 105 98 90 88 88 S0 80 80 80 Subject to the Western classification.

S oot The Quarterdeck Abolished. The difference between the modern steam vessel and the old-time sailing-ship is marked in many ways, one of which is the vost of command. On sailing-ships and the earlier steamers the captain’s and the | officer’s post was on_the quarterdeck, | go. On the steamer of to-day the quarter- declt is abolished, except as a promenade for passengers, and orders are given from the bridge, well forward of amidships, and sufficiently elevated to give a view of the vessel from stem to stern. This is fre- quently as high as the maintop of a sail- ing-ship, and except for the stormcloths that surround it i winter, is fully ex- posed. Ocean steamships have no covered pilot-houses, as thesound and river steam- ers do, but on the bridge, where every roll of the ship is exaggerated, the captain and his aids maintain their constant lookout, while even at that height they are occa- sionally drenched with spray.—New York Tribune. ——— The vprincipal synagcgue of London Hebrews is in St. James place, Aldgate.
