WILL RUN TO THE ARCTIC. The Steamers Noyo and Pasadena, That Were in Collision, Returned to Port. The first Russian sailing vessel that has visited San Francisco in years arrivea | She i3 377 tons net burden, 149 feet 5 inches | long, 27 feet 1 inch broad and 11 feet 8| inches deep. She carries water bailast, | and will thus be able to make her way up the rivers on the Siberian coast without | any trouble, as it will be easy to pump the | ballast out of her and thus reduce the draught. Balfour, Williamson & Co. of London vesterday libeled the ship Lyndhurst for §7715. The claim is that this firm ad- vanced £1500 on the freight earnings of the ship. The loan was advanced last June and was due in three months. It was never paid, hence the attachment. The barkentine Tropic Bird arrived from Tahiti vesterday after a lengthy passace of thirty-three days. She was caught in two storms, and during one of them the bobstay snapped and the jibboom was almost torn out of the vessel. Captain Burns hove her too and set the crew at work. It took over twenty-four hours to splice the stick, and the work was so well lone that it never gave an inch during the succeeding gales. The Tropic Bird will discharge and then dock for repairs. The barkentine brings the news that Mamea, Queen of Raratea, is still holding out against the French. The gunboats lunatic aboard. His name is J. Coreniji, and he made his escape at Portland an made his way aboard the steamer. On the way down he attempted to commit suicide and had to be locked up in one of the state- rooms. He was arrested as soon as the State docked, and will be sent back to Portland. The ship Empire will take a Japanese crew. She is going from here to Moody- ville to ioad lumber for Australia, and as Captain Krebs is a lover of cooly labor he took the Japs along because they are cheap. The Empireis a shabby looking craft and looks as though she haa not been cleaned for a year. Taptain Krebs is saidto have a Chinese crew in trainine. When they are efficient they will work for $5 a month. The salt has all been taken.out of the Emma F. Herriman and the old whaler will be docked for a survey. The sinking of the vessel will result in a lawsuit be- tween Captain Jorgenson and A. Robin- son, the charterer. The latter says the former must make the aamage good. Jor- genson says he will not. The holes that Iet the water in were bored by Jorgenson’s orders. The steamers Noyo and Pasadena that The Barkentine Behring, the First Russian Sailing Ship That Has Visited San Francisco in Twenty Years. from Yokohama yesterday. - She is the handsome brigantine Behring, and has come here in ballast to load” a general cargo for the Russian Sealskin Company. From Sav Francisco she will go to Beh- ring Island and thence to Kamchatka to deliver stores and collect the furs that have been secured during the season. After cailing at Viadivostock she will re- turn here to winter and will make the rounds again next year. L 5 The steamer Kotik, now in Eurg, is also under the Russian flag, and this is prob- ably the first time in forty years that two trading vessels flying that flag have been together in this bay. : The Behring is on her maiden voyage, baving been built in Scotland last year. [Sketched by a “Call™ artist.] | have driven her from the coast, but the | French troops cannot reach her in the mountain fastnesses of the island, and she is thus able to hold her own. Mamea will never be conquered until roads are built throughout the is!and. The "Naval Reserve monitor Camanche | will be oven to the public to-day. “The boys'’ were busy all of yesterday putting up awnings and gettiny everything shij shape for the expected visitors. The steamer Caroline will make regular trips from Mission street and the launch Am will run from Folsom street. The Nav: Reserve launch will also make hourly trips, so there will be ample accommoda- tion for everybody. The steamer State of Califormia arrived from Portland yesterday morning with a were in collision near Point Arena last Friday in the fog have gone . on the mud flats—the Pasadena at the Mission and the Noyo in Oakland Creek. Captain Hamil- ton says the Pasadena was ata dead stop when “the Noyo struck her. 8ix of her timbers were smashed in and 5000 feet of lamber was jettisoned and 10,000 feet moved to port'in order to get the hole out of the water. The Noyo has her bow stove in and will take a long time to repair. Thece will be an interesting fight over the placing of the blame, as one captain ac- cuses tie other. The Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers will.probably settle the mat- ter. The Pasadena’s engine-room was flooded, hut as she burns oil in her furnaces the fires were not put out. SMITH GETS HIS OFFICE: The Court’s Decision in the Railroad Case Is All in His Favor. HE IS LEGALLY A DIRECTOR. A Change in the Officers of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railway. Sidney V. 8mith has prospered in his fight against the directors of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad. He has not only secured a decree that P. N. ! Lilienthal bas not been elected, but he has { been granted an injunction restraining every one from opposing him in his pos- session- of the vacancy which Lilienthal leaves. Judge Seawell had already thrown out of the case all evidence as to the power of Foster and ‘Markham to vote the 40,000 shares of stock held by the syndicate, and | it had- already been decided that Wagner | and Gunderlich had good proxies for the 8000 shares which they voted and which had . been thrown out. This change of things elected Smith, bnt the hitch in the case was what measure.of relief he was to get from:the court. This point Judge Seawell had under advisement since ‘Wednesday -last. Smith wanted an in- juuction against those who interfered with im, and a decree by'the court declaring him elected and declaring Lilienthal not |-elected. The'defendants denied that an injunction was a legal possibility in the case, but they failed to suggest any better remedy. Saturday morning Judge Sea- well decided that an injunction was both legal and proper, and he granted all that | Smith demanded. The decree as entered is as follows: It is now ordered and adjudged and decreed that at the annual election held by the de- fendant corporation on tbe 25th day of Feb- ruary, 1896, the following named persons were elected by the stockholders thereof to serve as and they are lawfglly directors thereof for the ensuing year, viz.: Antoine Borel, James B. Stetson, Sidney V. Smith, John L. Howard, Arthur W, Foster, Andrew Markham and George A. Newhall. That the defendant P. N, Lilienthal was riot elected & director of said corporation st saia meeting and that he is not and has not been such_director since the date of said meeting; that he unlawfuly usurps and intrudes himself into said office. That the plaintiff Smith is entitled to exercise tho said office now unlawfully filled and exer- cised by said Lilienthal, and that the action of the defendants, the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad Company, Arthur W. Foster, Andrew Markham and P. N. Lilienthal in ex- cluding said 8mith from his said office as di- rector is unlawful. It isturther adjudged and decreed that the said P. N, Lilient! be, and he is hereby per- tually, enjoined from exercising, or attempt- ng to exercise, the office of director of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad or at- !endlnf the meeting of the board of directors thereof as a director by virtue of the said elec- tion of the 25th of Februsry, 1896, or the dec- laration of said Foster atsaid meetiug of his, said Lilienthal’s election, or from interfering in any way whatever with the plaintiff, Smith. 1n ihe exerolse by said Smith of e dffice of director; and sai Markham and George A.

ANDREE SUMEWHAT CAST DOWN But He Will Set Out in His Great Balloon Over the Ice—Mrs Eva Nansen’s Heroic Work. Dr. G. H. Salamonsen of Copenhagen, Denmark, a wealthy gentleman who has devoted much time to philosophical and scientific research, is at the Palace. He has recently visited Venezuela and Cuba, and isnow en route to Japan. Dr. Salamonsen has, as a matter of pleasure and to inform hisfriends, been corresnop'd- ing with several Danish newspapers,in- cluding the Dannebrog, the most powerful daily in the kingdom. Dr. 8alamonsen is intimately acquainted with Dr. Nansen, who sailed in the Fram to discover the north pole, and Dr. E. An- dree, who is to sail shortly in a great bal- loon on the same quest. He tells many things regarding those noted men not known in America, and con- siderable that is perhaps not known to the majority of their countrymen. He says both Nansen and Andree are men of extraordinary endurance and of great deterfiination. He believes that Dr. Nansen has already found the polea_nd says the majority of the Danish, Norwegian and Swedish people also believe this. As for Dr. Andree he says he believes also that Nansen has found the pole, but never- theless he will set out himself and try and find it by the novel method of sailing over the ice. ‘‘He is a little bit cast down,” said Dr. Salamonsen, ““for fear he will not be the first to arrive at the pole. If Nansen has found it of course Andree will not get the glory he would if he had got there first. Dr. Andree will set out nevertheless. “I believe myself that Dr. Nansen has found the pole, and is coming back. This opinion is shared by the majority of the people in my country. The news thus far has come from a trader on the remote frontier. I think that Nansen bas dis- patched a boat ahead of himi with a dis- patch signed by him, and that it was lost. All the people in nty part of the world are greatly interested in him. “I know him: personally. He is from Norway, and I am from Denmark, but both countries contriputed money for his trip. He said, when he sailed, that he did not expect to be back in less than three years, and Mrs. Eva Narsen, his wife, who lives in Christiana, and who was asked récently about it, said she had never ex- pected him inside of that time. Now, however. the time is about up. “‘Mrs. Nansen isa teacher of musicin Christiania and sometimes appears in con- The doctor and his amiable wife are simply like thousands of other meritorious and ambitious young people. They have little money, but lofty pur- poses, and want to make all they can of themselves. They have a little son, I think now 4 or 5 years old. Dr. Nansen is a man of a very vigorous constitution, somewhere from 32 to 35 years old, and of | great determination. “As for Dr. Andree, who proposes to find the pole by sailing there in a balloon, he is also of splendid physique, young and full of energy. He isa Swede. I know him well, and I have no doubt he will go to the pole. “Dr. Andree made the balloons last year. I recently saw one of them. Itwas a mag- nificent affair. The King of Sweden, as well as the people of the country, have contributed money to equip him. Heis taking with him a great many carrier pigeons. “By the way, I observe from the Danish papers which have reached me that James Gordon Bennett has offered $5500 for the first dispatch from Nansen, the dispatch to be exclusive. But this is notning. Any leading paper in Norway would be zlad to give that.” Dr. Solamonsen is going to write a book of travel. He will be here six weeks, and NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS.

The Railroad Commission Will Make an Investigation in the Public’s Interest. Railroad Commissioner Stanton stated yesterday that he was making an investi- gation into the conditions of passenger business on the San Faancisco and North Pacific Railway with a .view of ascertain- ing how the fares between San Rafael and San Francisco might be reduced. “This is a matter,” he said, “in which we do not care to take immediate action. The Donahue road has always been re- garded by the press and the peopleasa popular road. and even in this matter of reducing the fare from San Rafael it was the president who made the first move. ‘‘He wanted to make the reduction, but qar.

Leve, ‘metal-dealer of 413 Octavia sgreet, preferred by Julius Meyer -of 1636, Mission street, was dismissed yesterday by Judge Joachimsen. The prosecution made a statement of what it intended to prove. by its witnesses, whereupon the defeudant's attor- neys, Judge Altken and Maurice L. Asher would hardly have been gecessary for the commission to think of official action in the premises if more railroad litigation bad not been instituted. The line is in my district, and I am gathering data upon which to establish -%nsis for reduction of the rates. There are many factors that govern rates, and each of these should be carefully considered. ‘‘For instance, if the Donahue road was carrying half as many passengers as cross the ferry to Oakland, it could well afford to reduce its fares. But with a limited patronage il is doubtful how far a railway company may go in lowering the fares and rates. 1t certainly cannot make such a low figure as the road with a large pat- rousa.A *‘This is the case with the Donahue road. The patronage has not been sufficient to admit of very low fares, bui that is Bont; thing I have to estimate closely. I wou like, however, for the line to fix its own rates, because it is a popular road and our intervention would seemf like an intrusion. As soon as the Attorney-General is fin- ished with this Southern Pacific case we ! propose to go ahead with our work and take up the matter of cheaper fares be- tween here and San Rafael.” POLICE RIFLE MATCH. The San Francisco Team to Compete Against the Oakland Men Selected. The rifle match between ten men of the San Ffrancisco police force and an equal number of the Oakland force is exciting considerable interest in the two departe ments. The match will take place at Shell Mound Park next Saturday afternoonm, commencing at 1 o’clock, and after it is over the teams will be entertained at a banquet. The final practice of the San Francisco men was held yesterday afternoon at Shell Mound, and.the men who will compete were selected. Their names are given ac- cording to their average score and are as foilows: Smith Carr, O. C. Phillips, Ser- geant Nash, P. C. Peters, Harry Hook, W. W. Wilson, Thomas A. Atchison, George F. Mulcahy, J. H. Flinn, 0. B. Merrick, James Foley and John Fleming. The two latter are reserve men. _They are all crack shots, either with the rifle or revolver, and_there is every confi- dence felt in the department that the other fellows across the bay will be de- feated. ————— : A Mahatma Sensation. A more than usually interesting entertaine ment will be given next Thursday evening a#| Golden Gate Hall. It will be given by Zanzic, by Mme. Zanzic. Zanzic describés himself as a' “‘white mahatmas,” ‘“rosicrus cian,” “somnolist” and “modern witch of Endor.” Not much information 15 given of the entertainment in advance, but it is de- scribed as “‘the queerest, quaintest, strangest psychical entertainment on earth,” wherein the *wonders of theosophy and spiritualism are outdone.” A large attendance is expected. .
