Schneider, living at 32 Louisa street, got three fingers of his left hand mangled in & tin V. Montague's esta yes- ¥ tig. They had to be amputated at the Receiving Hospital. The Hibernia Bank reduced its summer dividend to 33 per cent.

President Sonoda of the Yokohams Specie Bank, who is en route to London to arrange for receiving the next installment of the war indemnity from Chins, predicts a great in. crease of trade between the United States and Japan. A member of the Civie Federation when seen yesterday about the Smith-Gsllagher con- est saia it would be prevented if possible, but was not positive that such could be done. “Young” Mitchell was sanguine of bringing off the event. The Associated Improvement Clubs thor- oughly discussed last night the two questions, the tax levy and the proposed new charter, being addréssed on the latter question by President Dohrmann and Secretary Freud of the Merchants’ Association. PARISHIONERS' REUNION Members of St. Francis Parish to Have a Day’s Outing at Frait- vale. There will be a grand reunion of the parishioners of St. Francis parish at Plitts- ville Park, Fruitvale, next Saturday. Con- siderable interest is being shown in the event and, as the various committees of arrangements have labored assiduously for the complete success of the day, it is stated confidently that St. Francis parish will be represenied by over 1000 of its members on the greensward near Fruit- vale. This being the first social gathering and outing since their new pastor, Rev. Terence Caraher, assumed control of the parish, the belief prevails that many will meet him on the grounds. Then, too, his en- thusiasm and force will beinfused into the gathering, and altogether it will be a bappy affair. The picnickers may travel to the grounas every half hour by the Osakland broad- gauge to Fruitvale station, and the cost of tickets has been placed ata minimum— 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for chil- dren. As many as seventy-eight gate prizes have been donated, mostly by people in the parish, and several prizes will be offered for competition in games. The programme of athletic events is as follows: Race for boys under 14; race for girls under 14; race for young mex; race for young ladie: ce for married men; race for married Jadie men’s race, over 200 pounds; fat ladies’ , over 200 pounds; race for boys, 14 to 18; for members L.

SHE PRESENTED A VERY PRETIY APPEARANCE IN THE BAY YESTERDAY MORNING WITH HER LONG HOME PENNANT FLYING. THE CHARLESTON 1S HOME AGAIN. After Two Years’' Absence She Once More Reaches Port. HAD SEVERAL MISHAPS. Built by the Scotts, She Is the Pride of the Union Iron Works. JAPANESE INVASION PROBABLE Chinese Are Driving Them Out of Hawagii and They Are Coming to California. “Home again from a foreign shore,’”” was the refrain that every sailor on the United States cruiser Charleston was singinz as " the ‘“pride of the Union Iron Works” steamed in through the Golaen Gate yesterday. Without being pressed, she has made the run from Yokohama, via Honolulu, in nineteen days and six hours, and Captain Coffin is more than satisfied. Frém Yokohama to Honolulu the run was made in eleven davs and three hours, and from Honolulu to San Francisco in eight days and three hours, and then the vessel was only under half steam. The officers of the cruiser are: Captain, George W. Coflin; lieutenant-com- mander, W. H. Reeder; lieutenants, G. A. Cal- houn, Alex Sharp Jr.,, G. H. Staffora, W. P. White; lieutenants junior grade, W. S J. D. McDonald, C. §. Williams; ensigns, E.G. Witherspoon, H. E. Smith; surgeon, C. W. att; assistant surgeon, R. G. Brodrick; aster, C. W. Littlefield; chief engineer, MacConnel assed assistant en; H. Leonard, C. H. Mathews; assistantengin A.T. Holmes; first lieutenant of marines, B. Neumann; pay officer’s clerk, W. Rea Pattison; gunner, George Cross; carpenter, George H. Warford. She carries a crew of 260 all told. The Charleston has been away from American waters for nearly two years, so it is no wonder the men were glad to get home. Asshe moved up to_her anchor- age her enormous homeward-pound pen- nant floated away astern, and the men evidently took great pride in it. When on duty in Japanese waters the Charleston disabled one of her cyiinders. Ske was tied up and a new one ordered from San Francisco. When it arrived and a test was made it also proved defec- tive, s0 another order had to be sent on. The second cylinder proved to be all right, but the Navy Department would take no chances, so the vessel was ordered home. She will probably go on the Mare Isiand drydock for a thorough overhauling. The crew of the cruiser were spectators at the navul battle between the Japanese and Chinese fleets at Wei Hai Wei, but they have nothing new to tell about the encounter. The Charleston is anchored off Folsom-street wharf, just abreast of the Comanche. 4 The whaleback City of Everett met with & mishap as she was docking at Mission 2 yesterday. A strong flood tide was ron- ning, put Captain Buckman thought he could make his landing without any trouble. His breast lines were out, and all went well until the tide caught the vessel and swung her stern around under Howard-street wharf. The dolphin and many of the piles carried away and the wharf was otherwise damaged, but the whaleback was uninjured and was berthed without any further trouble. 4 The Pacific Mail Company’s steamship San Jose aailed for Central American vorts yesterday. She will go as far as La Libertad, and will clear up all the delayed freight along the line. She carried no passengers. Captain Russell, formerly of the Rio de Janeiro and Acapulco, went out as master, The California Navigation and Improve- ment Company started running two steamers between here and Stockton_yes- terday. When the T.C. Walker and Garret are leaving San’ Francisco the J. D. Pewrs and Leader will be leavin Stockton. The Walker and Peters wil make almost direct runs, but the Garrett and Leader will stop at ali the lanaings in order to Fick up freight. Heavy ship- mcdnuhol ruit are ?mledi this ‘month, and the company is getting ready to handle the business. " J Harbor Commissioner Cole was around the water front -5.“‘ esterday. He only got back from St. uis last Tuesday Simms, | | night, but he lost no time in getting into harness again. “Uncle Dan’’ is an ardent McKinley man and says the man from Ohio is a sure winner. 5 In spite of last Monday’s disaster the raisers of the Blairmore have not lost heart. Yesterday they were hard at work again and by Sunday everything will be ready for anotber trial. Extra precau- tions are being taken and a success is again expected. The vessel’s position has been considerably changed during the past week and she is now almost opposite Butchertown. Double shifts are being worked on the steamer Gaelic in order to get her away on time this aiternoon. She was three days late in getting in, owing to stonping at Honolnlu to land Chinese. In future two out of every three mail steamers on the Chinese route wiil stop at Honolulu for the same purpose. he Hawaiian Government does not wish the Japanese to have the franchise and in consequence thousands of them will have to seek fresh fields and pastures new. The planters are gradually supplying their pfi:ces with Chinese labor and in con- | seauence every steamer that leaves Hong- koug has at” least 500 Chinese coolies aboard for the Paradise of the Pacific. The worst of it is, however, that the Japs who cannot get employment any more in Hawaii are coming to California, so the orchardists and vineyardists will have no lack of cheap labor this season. Will E. Beach, the g;opulnr ticket clerk at the Southern Pacific ferry depot, was reinstated yesterday. Scme months ago he was accused of “standing in’’ with the scalpers and was suspended. The accusa- tion was shown to be unfounded and Will is back at his old post again. FOR THE CONVENTION. The Subscriptions Received Yesterday Toward Securing the Big Gather- ing of Endeavorers.

Clcsed the Day’s Doings With a Lunch at the CLff House and a Drive Home. Those members of the American Society | of Civil Engineers who cared to entrust their safety and pleasure to Local Man- ager Curtis of the Southern Pacific Com- pany visited the Presidio yesterday at noon. The time for the meeting had been set for 9 o’clock in the morning, but the Cur- tisend of the caravan being three hours late two distinct parties were in the field, General W. M. Graham, in charge of the Government troops on this coast, was most gracious, Hhe placed his officers and men at_the disposal of his guests, and every- thing worth scientific inspection on the grounds and underneath, for that matter, was seen, The ‘‘mortar beds,” situated in sub- terranean passages near Black Point, were of most interest to the visitors; also the dynamite guns, one of which was charged with an air-pressure of 200 pounds from the 2000-pound chamber and fired. No missile, however, was placed in the mon- ster’'s jaw. The air-pressure being re- lieved by pulling a string gushed out with force enough to deafen those people near- est tne cannon and gave a fair idea of the terrific explosion which would ensue with & 2000-pound pressure and a few hundreds of pounds of dvnamite. ‘ne party drove through the Presidio grounds and Golden Gate Park, and unched at the CLff House, after having visited the Olympic Club Salt Water Works on the beach. After a short visit to Mayor Sutro’s beautiful home the run home was made late in the afternoon. ——————— The Sutro Scenic Railway.

'0‘ HURRICANES AND THUNDER STORMS, The Big British Ship Was- dale Reaches Port at Last. CONSIDERABLY OVERDUE |Over Twenty Per Cent Reinsur- ance Was Paid on Her Last Week. SHE HAD A TERRIBLE TIME. Boats Were Smashed, Cargo Shifted and Neariy all the Railing Carried Away. After bucking head winds and cross seas for. 151 days, the British ship Wasdale | finally reached port last evening. She is | from Newcastle, Eng., and for over a week | bas been classed among the ‘‘overdues.” | From 20 to 25 per cent reinsurance has 35| been paid on her, so the gamblers are | pleased. The story of the Wasdale’s trip isa most | interesting one, and Captain Fisher tells | it in a graphic manner. It is as follows: “We left the Tyne at 4 p. M., January 31, | and had moderate variable winds down | the channel, which continued to 33 deg. | north 24 deg. 9 min. west, then northeast winds very light to the equator, which we crossed in 27 deg. west, thirty-six days out. Here we got the southeast trades, which were very light throughout and were lost in 18deg. 8 min. sout: and 36 deg. west, and from there to Staten Island we had light variable winds and remarkably fine weather, with smooth sea. *‘Sighteil Staten Island Aprii12, seventy- two days out, from which we had a sue- cession of heavy gales from west to west- north-west and very high, dangerous sea. “On April 21, at 10:30 ». M., our yard- arms and mastheads were lit up with balls of tire, and at 11:30 ». M. we were struck by a furious hurricane, which continued for twenty hours, and which kept the lee side buried, damaged all our running gear, smashed both side lights end starboard voop rail, broke in side ports and deluged half deck. ‘*At noon on the 22d bad to cut away the lower foretopsail to relieve the ship, At this time the sea was breaking frightfully, causing the sbip to lurch very heavily, and settling the cargo of coke to leeward slightly. After 6 p. M. the gale began to moderate. The lowest reading of the barometer and aneroid were both 27.56. “‘Hud & continuance of very heavy gales until May 4, latitude 48.07 south, loneitude 80.04 west, then more moderate and vari- able to May 12, latitude 33.46 south, lon- gitnde 97 west, when we had a furious gale and territic cross sea, which com- menced suddenly from a light breeze and heavy rain at east-northeast, but shifting rapidly to north and northwest. Having to keep dead before it to reduce sail, hove to with ship’s head to the eastward under goose-winged fore and mizzen topsails, when it quickly moderated and had ihen beautiful tine weather and light winds to the equator, which was crossed on June 2 in 120 west longitude, 123 days out. “Tuesday, April 21, at noon, with the zneroid and barometer at 29.04, had a stroug breeze and rain, with high westerly seas, Ship under reefed topsails and foresail. Wind about north and hauling, at 4 p. M, to north-northeast, and glass falling slowly. Weather dark and rainy. :15 P, M. the glass was 28.66, and at 8 p. M. 28.58, and beginning to fall very rapidly. Called all bands and put the ship under two lower topsails and foretopmast staysail, after which the weather cleared away con- siderably and looked much better, but at 10:30 ». M. the glass was 27.17and a squall mnklns up in the northwest, the mastheads and upper yard srms were all lit up, the squall coming with terrific vio- ience and striking the ship partly aback with the nelm hard up, butdoing no dam- age. At midnicht got the foretopmast stay sail down and made fast; glass 28.11. Gave orders to take in fore lower topsail if we had a lull, but dare not attempt to start it. At 4 A. M. weather still the same and glass 27.59. ‘‘At 5 A. M. the ship was struck in the starboard mizzen rigging by a ternfic sea, | smashing two side ports in entirely in the half deck and flooding it and cracking sev- eral other ports in the cabin. In one port in the half deck the worm of screw-bolt was stripped. We got spare plugs in and secured. At daylight found about twenty feet of starboard poop rail and coveringz- poard started.and both sidelight screws smashed up, the ironwork completely torn away from the wooa and port forward life- boat cover all torn and Elown away, and all our running gear on port side chafed and cut, beiug complete!ly under water. Had great difficulty in getting it clear. ‘At noon the glass had risen to 28.03, but the wind was blowin§ with terrific force, the sea was breaking in every direc- tion and the shir was completely buried, so I was compelled to cut away the lower foretopsail to ease the ship, as it was im- possible to attempt to take it in. This eased the vessel wonderfully, as it caused her 1o driit directly away from the broken water and to lift the lee side occasionally. At4 p. M. the glass was 28.03 and at 6 p. M. 28.72, and the weather then gradually moderated. From that to port we had moderate but gloomy weather.” The Wasdale does not show many signs of her rough experience, but nevertheless every man Jack aboard is glad the vessel is safe in port.

SERRA IS SATISFIED The Italian Consui-General Ex- presses Pleasure at Being Here. Yesterday His Oifice Was Open to All Who Chose to Visit Him. The new Italian Consul-General, Cav. Carlo Philip Serra, is a pleasant, genial man, who gives every promise of becom- ing immensely popular witn the colony. Yesterday he bezan to initiate himself into the duties of his new office, and aid it in a way which showed him to be what the Italians call ‘“democratico,”” and which means, without any frills or haughty at- tempt at superiority. No bureaucratic red-tapism held visitors back from seeing Cay. Serra; the doors of the Consulate were open to all visitors, nnd&eop}e who wanted to see him could walk into the inner office and visit the Consul-General. Cav. Serra ex%ressed himself as being de- lighted with his prssent appointment. “‘San Francisco is tonsidered one of the best Italian consular positions in th United States,”” he said. “The peop! are pleasant and_harmonious, the climate is alightml. What can a man want more?’ and the Consul-General laughed with satisfaction at the smiling future before him. Cav. Serra says that he is fond of Ameri- cans. He has given proof of the fact by marrying an American lady and in all the consular positions that he has held in the United States he has been popular in American society. In 1885 he wentto New Orleans, remaining there two and a half ears. He hasalso held consular positions In Philad. Iphia, Boston and Baltimore, so higacquaintance with the United States is quite extensive. 'or two years he was in Chile. Those ‘were war years and exciting times, but he never met with any personally exciting incidents, or if he did, he modestly conceals the fact. Just as peace was de- ;lnod in Valparaiso he was recalled ome. Although a native of Genos, he makes his headquarters in Rome, when in italy, partly because it is the seat of Govern- ment and also because he has a strong Bersonnl liking for the Eternal City. He as just come from there and when ques- tioned yesterday about the war feeling in Italy replied that though every one had deeply deplored the losses in Abyssinia feeling was quite calm on the matter. As for the suffering condition of the peasants in the interior of the country the Consul-General said that though there was considerable poverty things were not quite so bad as some of the reportg had represented them to be. here does not seem to be any intention on Cav. Serra’s part to make sweeping changes at the consulate. “Things seem to be in a very satisfac- tory condition and I see no reason for not letting them go on in the same way,’’ he said cheerfully. For the next few: weeks the new Consul- General and his wife will live at the Occi- dental Hotel, but he intends shortly to take a country villa, probably at San Ma- teo, and only spend office hours in the City. ———— Williams Didn’t Get the Money. Judge Seawell yesterday refused to grant the motion of Richard A. Williams, the Chi- nese Inspector, who asked that he be permitred to draw one-half of a $3000 deposit which his wife has in a loeal bank. Mrs. Williams is NEW TO-DAY. All this “hocus-pocus,” as you may call it, about colored tea—by the way, did you ever know a “hocus-pocus ” talker to back up his talk with money-back? — this talk about colored tea applies mostly to Japan tea and some China teas. Why, then, should you use Sc/illing’s Best Ceylon and Oolong and English Breakfast? They are fresh-roasted —roasted right here in San Francisco by our own tea- roasting machine, the only machine on the Coast. Fresh-roasted tea is like fresh-roasted peanuts. You don't know the charm of tea, unless you have tasted it fresh-roast- ed. And-you have not tasted fresh-roasted Oo- long, English Breakfast, and Ceylon, unless you have tasted - Sckilling’s Best.
