OVER TWO MILLIONS INVOLVED Gold and Silver Coin Running Into the Thousands Included in the Shipments. “What has become of the steamer City of Riode Janeiro?" is the question that shipping men are asking each other nowa- | days. The vessel left here on February 6 nang—510 barrels of flour. To Samerang—510 barrels of flour. To Batavia—78 cases of canned fruit. To Sandakan—100 pounds of hams, 25 cases ot canned fruit ana 106 galions of wine. To Korea—5 barrels of flour, 300 pounds of suger, ete. Among the cargo was the following shipment of treasure: To Hongkong—Mexican dollars, $108,172; #01d cotnn, ¥855 iEtad To Shanghsi—Mexican dollars, $627,000; silver bars, $132,000. _Chinese firms, 3172 Mexican dollars and $335 gold coin; Anglo-Californian Bank, 100,000 Mexican dollars; Wells, Fargo & Co., $500 gold coin. To Shanghai, opti — and Shanghai Bnn{',wn e o AT ons Yokohama Specie Bank, 199,000 Mexican dol- lars and 22,000 silver bars. Adding the value of the ship to the cargo the figures mount up into the mil- lions, so itis no wonder the insurance men, underwriters and merchants are scared over the vessel's protracted passage. When spoken to about the Rio business men all take a hopefui view of the case. They point to the fact that the Strath- nevis of the Northern Pacific line was over a month overdue and that 75 per cent re- insurance was paid on her, but that finally she was Elcked up and towed back into port with a broken shafr. They argue from this that something has happened to the Rio’s machinery and that in the course of time she will turn up all right. The steamer Doric, which sailed for the orient last Thursday, bas instructions to keep a sharp lookout for the missing steamer and to go out of her way in order to make a thorough search. In conse- quence the Doric herself may be a few days late in reaching Yokohama. The passengers on the overdue steamer are as follows: Cabin—J. Fisher, Lamar Lyndon, Mrs. Lamar Lyndon, W. T. Sylvester. Steerage—A. Badilson, John Rosenfeld Sr., J. Kosenfeld Jr., J. A. Biddle, A. V. Garland, F. Gaillard. In the Asiatic steerage were ten Japa- nese and twenty-two local Chinese.

A Congregational church at the Pan- handle has been named in honor of Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper. Mrs. Cooper’s Bible class is one of the Last February. [Sketched by a “Call” artist.] 11 | nothing has been heard from her since. According to schedule time she was due | at Yokohama on February 23, but o re- port from that point has come to either { the Merchants’ Exchange or the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, and merchants | who had goods aboard, and relatives who | had passengers in the cabin, have been be- | sieging the office of the Mail Company on | Market street for several days past. According to the figures supplied by the Mail Company the Rio is now fourteen days overdue at Yokohama. Agent Cen- | ter laughs at the idea of anvthing having | happened to the steamer, but just the | same 20 per cent reinsurance is being paid | on the vessel and cargo. | The China, which arrived on the 5th | inst., reported having passed througha rricane on her way here and was very - | severely handled. The Rio may have been caught in the same storm and some of her machinery may have broken down. In any event, great anxiety is felt for her satety, and shippers who did not in- sure are now seeking to cover a probable | loss. In connection with the long passage of the Rio de Janeiro one of the crew of the | steamer Australia told an interesting story yesterday. “It was away back in 1888 that we caught it,” said he. *“Chief Steward Jamesof the | Australia was on the steamer at the same time. Ye gods, how it did blow. The wind came from all directions at once, and | when we came to ourselves we were a thousand miles out of our course and short of fuel. In consequence we had to econo- mize in the matter of coal and we_ were just twenty-eight days in reaching Yoko- hama. | w, let me teil you something. The | Rio de Janeiro is what we men who make 1 our living on the briny deep (that’s what you call it, isn’t it?)call a tender ship. | That is, she was built to suit the timesand | was not kneed uyp as she should have been. | Just the same, a better seaboat never sailed out of San Francisco. In the storm I speak of the San Pedro ran out of fueland had to put into Hewaii to secure a deck- load of blocks to feed the furnaces. “*She had over 200 Chinese steerage pas- | sengers, and each one of them was paid & | doilar a day in order to get the blocks | aboard. The Rio de Janeiro rode the hur- | ricane like a duck, and we were never in | any danger except from the seas that | broke aboard and at times threatened to | svamp us. Just the same it took us | twenty-eight days‘to reach Yokohama, and we were thankful enough to get there | even at that late date.” When spoken to about the matter yes- | terday Agent Center was anything but | cheerful. Stil: he attempts to put the best face possible on the matter. “You see,” said he, “‘the steamer may | bave arrived at Yokohama and we not know anything about it. The telegraph operators in New York are not very care- ful, and our -dispatch may have been pigeonholed. I think the first news we | will get from the Rio will be her arrival at Yokohama. The vessel is overdue, well, | about eleven days, but then she may have run into a typhoon and been driven out of her course. We expect to hear from her at any time, and I don’t think there is any cause for alarm.”” be Rio took out merchandise mani- fested as follows: China. Japan. Korea. | Bingap | The shipments principally represented were as follows: | China—5221 barrels of flour, 4982 pounds of | ginseng, 168 packages of groceries and p isions,” 240 cases of canned goods, ounds of cheese, 8 pounds of hams and | bacon, 10 barrels of pork, 12,024 pounds of | beans and dried peas, 15 reels of barbed wire, ete. | " Japan—1763 barrels of flour, 1,009,629 pounds of cotton, 2022 galions of wine, 63 packages of groceries and proyisions, 83 cases of canned goods, 873 pounds of hops, 304 ounds of butter. 553 pounds of cheese, 132 arrels of pork, 1258 pounds of ham and bacon, 1510 pounds of lard, 392 packages of leather, 50, fish eggs, ete.

At that time she was considered one of the finest steamers in the American merchant ma- rine and was so classed. She is 2275 tons net burden, and can carry about 3750 tons of cargo. She is 345 feet long, 38 feet 6 inches broad and 19 feet 9 inches deep. Captain Russell, her commander, is one of | the most popular men in the employ of | the Pacific Mail, and was for years in com- | mand of the San Jose on the Panama route. Anxiety in Yokohama.

Superintendent of Streets Ashworth says that Mayor Sutre’'s discovery of steep charges for sewering Lake street in the | Richmond district, from Fourteenth to | Twentieth avenue, are not so much of a discovery after all when the true facts of the matter are taken into consideration. In support of his position Mr. Ashworth quotes the law and the figures for the work as passed by the Supervisors, and, in con- clusion, says: “This assessment was issued nearly six years ago by a former administration and Court, and a copy of the judgment filed in this office requires that the Superintendent of Streets issue a new assessmentin accord- ance with a provision of section 9 of the street law. “The expense of $21,797 35 was not borne | entirely by the property fronting on the 1 work, but a districtassessment was created by the resolution of intention passed by the Board ot Supervisors. The property fronting on the streets along which the sewer was constructed is assessed about $2 40 per front foot, and the property other than the frontage assessed for the work is taxed at the rate of 6 cents per front foot, thus an owner of a twenty-five-foot lot fronting on the work is assessed for $59 88, and an owner of a twenty-five-foot lot within the assessment district1s assessed only $1 50.” —_————————— Champagne Sec.

The white , fixed and promlinent nstitutions of Con- gregationalism in this City. Its member- ship includes some of the most scholarly persons in the community, some of whom bave been students of the Bible under Mrs. Cooper’s direction for many years. Her winning personality, her scholarly at- tainments and her breadth of view in all matters of spiritual as well as intellectual concern have made the members of her large class her personal friends. Of these nicne are more ardent adherents than Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Tuttle of 1632 Grove street, who are the founders of the thriving young church at Sunset Valley which bears Mrs. Cooper’s name. g That name has figured prominently i many reform and benevolent movements. Its bearer is at the head of the successful kindergarten system of this City, which has in training 20,000 children. She is a conspicuous figure in woman suffrage as- semblies and presided with dignity and grace at the last Woman’s Congress. She has been rewarded for efficiency and faith- fulness in 2l lines of usefuiness that have | engaged her attention by the high esteem of San Francisco’s citizens. Yet it is doubtful whether any of the honors be- stowed upon_ her by religious or secular bodies have been so gratifying to the re- cipient as the tribute paid by the church | at Sunset Valley. When Mr. and Mrs. Tuttle took up their residence on Grove street they were sur- | prised to find there was no church between Park Congregational, on Baker and Fell streets, and the beach, a distance of about four miles. Midway between these points is Sunset Valley, a pictur- est‘ue region commanding a view of the Golden Gate, and dotted with homes, many of which are the abode of refinement. They selected thisas the location of their commendable enterprise, and there the last Sabbath of the old year they opened a Sunday-school. The school was held in the rooms of the Improvement Club for a few weeks, but the growing interest which | soon manifested itself in doubled member- | ship made it necessary to secure other | quacters, Mr. Tuttle therefore rented a hall on Ninth avenue, near H street, and furnished it for the use of the schocl, which now numbers thirty students, A month later a Young People’s Society of Christian Endeavor, which has since enrolled thirty members, was formed, and two weeks ago formal church services were inaugurated, at which Sidney Yarrow, a senior of the Pacific Theological Seminary, officiates. The Sunday-school opens at | 2:30 p. m, and church services at 7:30 p. M., the Cnhristian Endeavor Society meeting at the latter bour on Thursday. " A ladies’ society has been organized, which meets twice a month, and the Cheerful Workers, an organization composed of ten young girls, meets every Kriday afterncon to plan missionary work. Socials are held once a month. "In every branch of its use- fuiness the infant religious enterprise is receiving the heaitiest encouragement. When Mr. and Mrs. Tuttle organized the Sunday-school they were aided by Rev. Loyal West of the Sunday-school }I;‘ubhcntiou department, but upon Mrs. 'uttle as superintendent has devolved the major part of the labor and responsibility since that time. Rev. J. B. Orr, pastor of Park Congregational Church, assisted in organizing the Christian Endeavor Society. Mrs. Cooper presented an organ to the church. Although a church in deed it is scarcely soin name as yet. Steps are beingtaken toward a formal organization, which will take place about May 1. Plans looking toward a building will then be con- sidered. It is meet that this church, which is to be known by thename of a woman, should have as one of its leading spirits a woman. Mrs. R. A. Tuttle, who is such, devotes two-thirds of hertime to the work. A Contumaciouns Driver, Alfred Jonasson, driver for the California Brewing Company, was driving his dray along Golden Gate avenue when Policeman Dugan ordered him to stop. Jonasson pulled up, but when Dugan told him to come down from his seat and 1:) with him to the City Prison for violating the boulevard ordinance he refused, to budge, and whipped up his horses. Dugan held onto the horses’ heads and ment for as- sistance to the Central police station.

Archbishop Rlordan and Father Yorke Will Leave for Los Angeles Monday. Archbishop Riordan and Rev. P. C. Yorke will leave for Los Angeles to- morrow. They will be absent from San Francisco about two weeks and will visit all the points of interest in the southern part of the State. The Archbishop has not been in good health of late and it is hoped that a change of climate will benefit him. There has been no especia. programme arranged for the Archbisaop and Chancel- Jor during the southern trip, but it is known that Father Yorke wili lecture in Los Angeles on the evening of March 16. His theme will be on the issues of theday; 1ssues in regard to the relationship of church and state. Father Yorke's fame as a speaker and writer has already gone over the State and he will doubtless be accorded a big reception at Los Angeles. In connection with the great contro- versy with Father Yorke on the one hand and the Rev. Donald M. Ross and the Rev. Dr. Wendte and others on the other the Chancellor announces that he will soon issue a book on the subject. “I will have the book published as cheaply as possible,” said Father Yorke yesterday, “as Iam anxious to haye the controversy generally circulated. I want to have it placed in the hands of the pub- lic, as these old slandersagainst my church have been squarely met and refuted. I don’t wish to make a cent outof the pub- lication, but will sell it at cost price.” ——————— Spring Opening.

E = POTRERFOLKS PROTEST They Demand the Immediate Removal of the Pest- house. Decided Resolutions on the Subject Passed by the Nuevo Improve- ment Club. The citizens of the Potrero insist that the Pesthouse must be removed from their neighborhood. To emphasize their de- mand the Nuevo Potrero Improvement Club held a rousing meeting last evening at their hall on Vermont street, near Twenty-fourth. Large bonfires were lighted in the vicinity of the hall and the result was & large and enthusiastic attendance. Chairman F. Coglan explained the ob- ject of the meeting and A. B. Maguire of the South Side Club was called upon. He said: ‘T have lived in this section of the City for the last twenty-eight years and I am interested in all that pertains toit. I appreciate the fact that the only way to get such a nuisance as the Pesthouse re- movea 1s to keep everlastingly atit.”” As an evidence of the necessity of persist- ence he cited the efforts of the South Side clubs to have an appropriation made for the Folsom-street poulevard. Mr. Haywood of the Federation of Im- provement Clubs stated that he had been connected with improvement clubs in this City for about seven years. ‘It seems to me,” he said, “‘that the members of this club are all representative citizens and taxpayers and their wishes ought to be re- spected. If the Board of Supervisors snubs you appoint a live commiitee again.” : -1 do mnot see why the seople of this district should be proscribed,” said L. .. Dwyer. “The Board of Supervisors have been promising usthat they would remove it, and it seems to me it is time they were doing it. I understand there is a pest- house in Chinatown in the rear of a morgue. If that is the case it seems to me the board should build a pesthouse for all in some suitable locality. I think we have been abused long enough. It is not enough that Mr. So-and-so owns one- seventh of the property of the City and County of San Francisco. We areall citi- zens and taxpayers and the officials are our servants, They should listen to our earnest demands and grant our just ones. If it comes to the test we will show the K:ople of San Francisco that we are not to toyed with.”” Rev. W. H. Tubb said the Board of Su- pervisors undoubtedly had the right to remove that pesthouse, but the question was, “How can you prevent the lepers from getting out?”’ hesaid, ‘‘and, asa mat- ter of fact, they gre not prevented fromr getting out. Tney do not get out and run about the neighborhood. These lepersare human, and_they should have humane treatment. What kind of a place is that where they are now iocated? It looks as if it had been here since before white men first visited these shores. We should insist on making a change of the location of the Pesthouse, but don’t let them move it— make them burn it ¢ own and plow up the ground.” G. Sherrer expressed himself as very much pleased with the prospect of having the Pesthouve removed. He argued that the main need of the City was a thor- oughly sanitary Pesthouse, such as the large European cities had. ‘he executivé committee of the club, cousisting of G. Guthrie, J. Barduhn, A. Schumann, J. Kerrand H. Antonson, pre- sented the following resolution, which was read by Secretary J. M. Smith: To the Honorable Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco—GENTLEMEN: WHEREAS, The residents and property-own- ers in close proximity to the present Pesthouse Tepresent that they are entitled to the fullest consideration of their rights in the protection of their homes from the scourge of infectious diseases that may exist by reason of the Pest- house being located in their midst; and whereas, the Pesthouse in its present location endangers the health and welfare, not only of thé residents of this section of the Ci%v ut also the children on their way to an ir school. Resolved, That the Board of Supervisors re- move from our midst the Pesthouse, which 18 a constant menace to a thickly populated neigh- borhood and a detriment to a further improve- ment of the surrounding district. The resolutions were carried unani- mously. Some discussion was indulged in as to the propriet% of suggesting a site for a new pesthouse, but it was the final sense of the club that this be left to the discre- tion of the board. A communication was read from Super- visor J. K. C. Hobbs, wherein he expressed regret for his inability to be present at the meeting and declaring his syvmpathy and co-operation with the desires of the Po- trero residents. ————————— DOUBLE AIR DROP.

Captain Lees received a dispatch last night from Detectives Whitaker and Seymour that they would leave St. Paul, Minn., to-night with A finem and Joe McCluskey, the Nevada Bank forgers. It would seem, therefore, that the habeas us proceedings instituted by McCluskey had béen quashed. ALONG THE WATER FRONT 7 Loss of the Danish Bark Lottie in the Quicksands at Altata. WAS LOADED WITH DYEWOOD. Charges Made by Sailors Against Cap- tain Goodwin and Mate Eiwell of the Dirigo. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s Coos Bay which arrived from Mexican ports yesterday, brings the news of the loss of the Danish bark Lottie at Altata. The vessel went on the quicksands and in twenty-four hours had disappeared all but her topmasts. *‘The Lottie was bound from Altata for Hamburg with a load of dyewood,” said Captain Jensen of the Coos Bay yesterday. “When the tide served she was taken in tow by the tug Altata and started over the bar. Now to understand the situation you must know that there are two channels leading out from the harbor and between the two is a dividing ridge of quicksand. “The Altata and her tow got as far as the bar all right, but when -they were crossing the towing line broke and the Lottie went adrift. Captain Claussen of the bark let go his anchors but they dia not hold and half an hour later the Lottie was sinking into the quicksands.” Assoon as the vessel began to settle the crew de- serted her and at midnight she was firmly | embedded and the next morning nothing | but her deckhouses were visible. The crew made a raid and secured their be- longings and also the suit of sails that was still bent on the yards. By nichtfall the Lottie with her cargo of dyewood had sunk out ot sight and not even her rigging could be saved.” » ‘When the Coos Bay left Altata Captain Claussen and his crew of fourteen men were to leave for Guaymas, where they would take passage for Germany via Panama. b The Harbor Commissioners are still re- ceiving letters from country towns in re- gard to the free fruit depot on the front. The Campbell Fruit-growers’ Union of Campbell, Santa Clara County, is the last to send in a communication. It wants the depot run under the supervision of the Commissioners, or else to have an in- spector appointed to attend to the sales. The secretary will send the usual answer stating that the commission will give all the necessary room just as soon as the fruit-growers and merchants get together and organize. The first steel sailing-ship that has ever entered the Golden Gate is not unlike her sisters in the wooden line in regard to vgrowlers.” Seamen Thomas Moore and George Sterling and Carpenter George Nelson complain that Captain Goodwin and Chief Officer Elwell abused them dur- ing the voyage from New York to San Francisco. They went before United States Attorney Foote on Friday morning, but were told to return on Saturday. They failed to do s0 and of course no action was taken in the matter. The men say the mate kicked and ill used them and that according to the captain’sorders they were only half fed. Captain Goodwin and Mate Elwell laugh at the charges and say that the men were too well fed and too well treated. & About a dozen boys from Telegraph Hill raided the British ship Koby last Friday night and secured considerable of her cargo. Captain Oakley called all hauds when the watchman told him what was | going on, but it took the entire crew quite | a while to drive the gang away. The boys showed fight, and it gas onsy the appear- ance of lie police in the distance that | forced them to seek safety in flight. Supply steamers for the canneries are beginning to get away. The Alaska Com- mercial Company’s Bertha and the Alaska | Packing Company’s Afognak both sailed | for Alaska yesterday, so the salmon-pack- ing season may be said to have fairly begun. SANKEY AND WARDE ALIKE Neither the Gospel Singer Nor the Actor Fancies the New Woman. \ Sankey Is Preparing a Volume of Stories About the Gospel Hymns. Ira D. Sankey is a joy forever to inter- viewefs, or he would be if he were not so modest. He has the kindliest brown eyes and the pleasantest smile, with a faint suggestion of roguishness about it, in the world. “Hurry up, there; don’t wait to kiss him,” was the way he greeted a baby girl. at the reception in his honor Friday even- ing. The words may have startled the owner of the rosy, upturned face. The tone and the laughing glance that fol- lowed it were reassuring, and the little coquette turned from the expectant face on one side to the gray-whiskered one on the other, and was tossed aloft by the gospel singer, proud of his conquest.

He leaued back luxuriously in an easy- chair in the Occidental parlors yesterday and talked aifably of evervthing, from San Francisco to the’ new woman, but depre- catingly of himself and his work. “This is a delightful City,” ne said. “We are charmed with it. I am much pleased with the many improvements which have been made since my last visit, fifteen vears ago. I am especially interested in what has been done at the park and Cliff House. The system of exchanges on the streetcar lines is remarkable. I never s anything like it in other cities. 11 veople of the State. It has surprised me to find out how many people from my native State, Pennsylvania, are here.” Mr. Sankey explained that his party con- sisted of his wife, whose health he hoped would be benefited by the trip, his brother, R. W. Sankey, and wife, and Mr. and Mrs. George C. Stebbins, the last-named counle having come by his invitation. They left Brooklyn in January for a three-months’ tour of the West. Their chief purpose is recreation and the meetings are merely in- cidental. They willsingatthe Yonng Men's Christian Association at 3 ». 3. and 6 p. M. to-day,and will hold a meeting at Berkeley on Wednesday or Thursday. Next Sunday they will spend at Santa Cruz, where they will probably hold an- other meeting, and on the 22d inst. will be heard at San Jose, and on the 29th at Oak- land. They will attend the State Sunday- school convention at Sacramento on April 1, 2 and 3, and leave the following day for the East, stopping for a day or two at Salt Lake City, Denver and other points, re- turning to their home on April 20. Mr. Sankey is still associated with Mr. Moody in his evangelical labors, having completed some meetings in New York shortly prior to his coming West. “There is an impression that Mr. Moody is coming to California,” said Mr. Sankey. “That is a mistake. He has no such plan at present. The evangelist is well and strong as ever. He is greatly interested in his Northfield schools.” Mr. Sankey expressed himself as opti- mistic in regard to the religious outlook. “I am a friend of the churches,” said he. “What could we do without them? I fixed the hour of the meeting at 6 ». M., in- stead of 8, to-morrow because Idid not want the meeting to interfere with the churches. Yet I recognize the fact that supplementary work is needed. am glad to see the amount of individual and organized effort being made in the high- ways and byways of the world. That is right. In the church we find the official Christ. Qut in those byways is the real Christ. Notable among these organiza- tions are the young people’s societies. Mr. Sankey regards “‘The Ninety and Nine” as the most popular and effective of his hymns. He extemporized the music after a sermon by Mr. Moody on “The Great Shepherd” at a meeting in Edin- burrgn, Scotland. He is. preparing a volume of storles about incidents connected with the com- position and rendering of the Gospel hymns. He does not regard the new woman with favor, this famous man who has journeyed from the Occident to the Orient and sung for the benefit of every degree and condi- tion of humanity. “[fear she 1s too for- ward in some things,”” be said simply, “and that that forwardness will detract from her womanliness.” ——————— A Reception to Materna.
