SHE WENT ON THE ROCKS A Year Ago the Melrose Was One of the Prettiest Barks in the Bay. ARRIVALTOF THE AUSTRALIA. Sausalito “Boys” Are Laughing Over the Joke They Had on Host McCormick. The old bark Melrose has probably made her last voyage. Thirty years ago she was one of the fleet which made America famous on the high seas, but now she is high and dry on the rocks in Puget Sound and the chances are that she will be broken up and sold for junk. She was about 1000 tons burden and was built in East Boston in 1863. In the days of long ago the Melrose was one of the clippers running between Bos- ton and Liverpool. When larger and speedier vesseis were built she was put on the run between New York and San Fran- cisco, and finally, as old age crept on, she was turned into a collier. For years she ran between here and Vancouver, B. C., but some months ago she was loaded with lumber and sent to Australia. As she passed through the Golden Gate every man on the front admired the old bark, and as the tug cast her off and sail was made on her she made as pretty a picture as has been seen anywhere near the Heads in many a day. From California the Melrose went to Port Pirie and there unloaded. FKrom there she went to Newcastle, N. 8. W, and loaded coal for Central America, After dischar ing and reloading she went to Puget Sound and was or her way out with another load of Jumber, when she went ashore at Sooke Inlet, According to last dispatches she was in a dangerous position and the underwriters considered that she would be a total loss. The Oceanic Steamship Company’s Aus- tralia arrived from Honolulu yesterda and there was the usual trouble between the quarantineofficers. Dr. Chalmers was on time and boarded the steamer off Fort Point. Captain{Houdlette thinking every- thing was all right went direct to the wharfand paid no attentjon to the whistles of the Sternberg. By the time Folsom street was reached the skipper saw that something was wrong and refused to allow the gangplank to be put out. Finally Dr. Blue got aboard and then everything was straightened out. The Australia brought the following cabin passengers: Mrs. Professor Alexander, Mrs. H. Z. Austin, Mrs. H, P. Baldwin and three chiidren, Major Bartlett and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Basford, Mrs. R.B. Brenham end child, J. K. Burket, W.J. Beck, Dr. Block, B. R. Banning, Master Platt Brush, Mrs. B. Cartwright, Miss Rowena Dow- Miss Marion Dowsett, Miss Genevieve <, Mrs. H. Gunn v chow and wife, Dr. Gedge, wife and child, R. P. Greer, T. H. Gibson, W. B, Godfrey Jr., J. D. Hayne and wife, Mrs. Hume, E. C. Hume, the Misses Hume, Norman Hal- stead, Mrs. Captain Houdlette, H. A. Jaeger, Mrs. P.K. Makee, Miss Violet Makee, Miss C. Moulde fiss Moore, M. & Pereira and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Santa Maria, M. Schweitzer and son, Miss A. Snow, Miss E. Smith, Harold Spencer, J. Steiner, R. C. Scott, Miss Taner, E. J. Witcher, wife and child, E. Williams, Snharp Walker, J. G. Waibel, Miss A. Small and James Torbett. Everybody had a sFIendid time on the Fourth. It was a truly democratic affair, and the sailors, firemen, steerage passen- gers, cabin passengers and officers all joined 1n making the day a success. Pro- fessor Dillon of Indiana delivered the ora- tion, and J. D. Hayne of Honolulu made a patriotic speech, The most enjoyable event on the programme, however, was the hula hula, asdanced by R. P. Greer. Early in the morning Chief Officer Lawless tired a National salute, but the first two shots were a failure, as the powder was wet. Everything was soon gotin working order, however, and the twenty-one guns boomed in rapid successlon. When it came to the fireworks the ship looked more like & Fourth of July procession than anything else. The first bomb that was fired struck the water and ricocheited back on board. It happened to land on the back of the ship’s cat, and Black Tom has not been seen since. Chief Lawless and other members of the crew arestill searching for the poor animal. Florence Blythe-Hinckley and her hus- band made a tour of the bay in the launch Amy yesteraay. Henry Peterson showed them “the sights and finally landed the party in Calilornia City. After a ramble over the hills the return trip was made. | The Sausalito and San Rafael boys are having the *‘ha-ba” on bost McCormick of the steamers Sausalito and San Rafael. Friday afternoon last he met “Jim” Tay- lor on the street and said to him: “Jim, take my card and_iet the boys on the boat have a Fourth of Jaly drink with me.” “Jim” faithfuilly obeyed orders, and the card was used again and again until every- body on board had bad halfadozen drinks and McCorm ck’s demijohns were empty. “Hurrah boys,” shouted Taylor as the boat entered the Sausalito slip. ““I bhave h passes on railroads, streetcars and steamers, but this is the first time I've ever had one on a bar and it’s still goed. Let’s have another Fourth of July drink.” There was nothing left but sodawater. McCormick now wants the pass back, | but Taylor refases to give it up. Several Custom-house officers were in a quandary yesterday. The Hartley was tak- ing them to the Mail dock when her shait broke and the propeller dropped into the bay. After drifting around for a time she was picked up by a passing towboat and taken to Mriggs wharf. Whilerepairs are being made on her the tug Hackett will be used by the customs officials. The steamer Hiawatha has been sold to the Spring Valley Water Company, and in future will be used as a water-boat. The company is now handling the water sup- ply on the front, and Goodall, Perkins & Co.’s tug Sea Witch is laid up. The Pacific Mail Company’s City of Peking got in from Hongkong via Yoko- hama and Honolulu last Sunday. Among the passengers were forty young Chinese bound for Eastern colieges. Collector Wise received instructions irom the Treas- ury Department to permit them to land, as the Chinese Minister bad vouc:ed for their safe return to China at the conclu- sion of their collegiate course.

PGPULISTS READY FOR ST LOUSS, They Are Mainly Farmers ‘Who Go to the National Convention. THE LIST OF DELEGATES The St. Louis Conventions Are | Veiled Mysteries to the Party. SO IS THE STATE CAMPAIGN. Miny Delegates Inter:sted in the Big Convention of Co-operative Societies. The Populist State leaders have per- fected arrangements for the trip of the | bright, Fieasant Valley. ational Con- | California delegation to the ventien which will convene in St. Louis on the 22d inst. Democrats were concerning theirs two weeks ago. To the whole Nation the pros- pects of the Populist and silver National conventions of St. Louis are as vague, fate- ful and full of varied possibilities as has been the Chicago convention, which is | . T 2 n | Diego; George F. Elliott, Hollister; W. H. Gil- now the cynosure of all political eyes. Now, we may hardly guess who the Popu- lists and Silver men will nominate at St. Louis, presage much-of their platform, or | at this moment foreshadow the yolitical | relations among the three anti-McKinley parties that will develop within three | weeks. The Populist and Silver National con- | ventions, which are to meet on the same date, will probably surpass in the num- bers drawn to the convention city and likely in political significance the great convention now in full blast by Lake Michigan. There will be more to the 8t. Louis con- vention events than the definite National machines of the Popuiist party and the somewhat inchoate silver party. Various | “reform’’ elements and various organized expressions ot discontent will cut a figure on the side. Political history will be made at St. Louis us well as at Chicago. California will be represented at the Populist convention by thirty-nine dele- gates and at the Silver convention by about the same number. Quite a number who are not delegates will also go. The Populist and silver delegations will leave on the 16th inst., but they will not go on the same train as was the original | plan formulated througu their community | of interests. Railroad hustlers are re- sponsible for this separation. The list of silver delegates is not yet completely made up. The Fopulist delegation will leave on the morning of the 16:h inst. and proceed by way of Ogden and Denver, where the Utah and Colorado delegations will join them, going thence to St. Louis by way of the Missouri Pacific. The silver delegates will leave on the evening of the 16th and go by the Union Pacific route. The Populist State Executive Commit- tee which met yesterday had for its par- ticular business the filling of the places ot such delegates elected at the State Conven- tion as could not go, but very few of the delegates reported that they could not go, although the expense of the trip is a ser:- ous matter with a majority of them. They are representative Populists who compose the delegation. Four-fifths of them are farmers who are not used to tak- ing a hand at the wheel of the ship of state, but they have ideas of their own. There are four lawyers, one doctor, sev- eral workingmen, no merchants and four editors. The editors are: M. E. Dittmar of the Redding Searchlight, delegate at large; Dr. R. E. Curran of the Los Ange- les Civic Review, G. H. Gilstrap of the Tulare Citizen and M. W. Wilkins of the New Charter, San Francisco. The lawyers are: T. V. Cator of San Francisco, Alfred Daggett of Visalia, Henry C. Dillon of Los Angeles and Mr. Welch of San Jose. Among the delegates is J. C. Waybright of Grass Valley, a farm laborer who four years ago drove 200 miles to attena the State Convention. W.A. Vann of Colusa, Populist nominee for Congress two years ago, is another of the delegates. C.N. arris, secretary of the Bimetallic Union; James Ashbury Johnson, the writer; J. C. Walker, a shoemaker, and John C. Gore :ates from San Fran- 1, chairman of the State Central Committee and one of the four delegates at large, will likely be chair- man of the delegation. The delegation will not put on any frills or take along any wines. It will travel in tourist sleepers and wear cheap but prett badges of tue California poppy color. T. V. Cator, M. E. Dittman and three other delegates are now in the East. Cator will be early in St. Louis and will look after the Cali‘ornia headiquarters, which will be at the Holland House. The delegation will arrive in St. Louis on the 20th inst., in time to attend a gen- eral conference on direct legislation, which will be held on the 21st. This conference has been called by Ignatius Donnelly, E. M. Wardall and others. Those especially | liance, and W. W. Wilkins of | will be leading representatives of Califor- | dorri, Fernda | W.W. Brown, Livermore; Ed McGuire, Oal | land. The California Populists are as much at | sea regarding what will be done at their | National Convention as the California | interested in the direct legislation propa- | anda, as most of the leading California ! Populists are, will urge this as one of the | chief planks in the People’s party plat- form this year. . Ignatius Donnelly, the eloquent farmer, writer and agitator of Minnesota, will likely be one of the Populist heavyv guns who will stump California when the cam- | paign gets hot. He and £. M. Wardail are | old personal friends, and Wardall expects to get him out here for a stumping tour. Another side issue in which many of the | California delegates are interested is the | great and probably to-be-notable conven- tion of co-operative societies and people to be opened on the 24th inst. This will be a grand effort to unite in some way, or ratber to combine the efforts of the great number of co-operative organizations in the country. The Farmers’ Alliance Ex- change, the Labor Exchange, the Amer- ican branches of the Rochedale Co-opera- tive Association and the Grangers are but four of the heterogeneous collection of co- operative movements to be represented. California affords co-operation in a great variety of form operative sooieties running flourmills, tanneries, labor exchanges, mercantile en- terprises and so on. These co-overative people are “‘reformers” and anti-monopo- lists and the convention willi be semi- political. J. M.

At St. Louis the delegation will fill_any vacancies that may appear there. Some of those in the list given above were ap- pointed by the executive committee yes- terday. At the meeting of the executive com- mittee yesterday, the finance committee, of which John 8. Dore of Fresno is chair- man, considered the money matters of the party without taking any steps of great importance. Chairman Wardall says that the committee has not begun any special efforts to raise money yet, and will not do so until after the convention. The com- mittee has a small debt {wo years old which it will pay very soon, and the policy | this year wiil be to noi go to§$1 of expense | without having the cash on band to meet | it. There will be no debt when the cam- paign is over. ““We art all at sea recarding the State | id Chairman Wardall yes. | campaign,” s; terday, “'because so many things depend | It's all | on the National conventions. guessing in the dark just now in talking about the probable future. There will be no combination with the Democrats, that is quite sure. I thipk that the gold men will wield a strong influence at Chicago and leave their impress on the work of the convention. *'If the silver men at St. Louis indorse the Democratic nominee, I believe it will defeat silver. The Populists and the inde- pendent silver men can_carry California, or the Populists and silver Republicans can carry it, I believe that the silver Re- publicans will vote the Populist ticket this year and that the Democrats cannot put | up a man who will joll as many votes in this State as McKinley. “There are so many contingencies ahead that it is impossible to guess who Pop- ulists will nominate at St. Louis. There is no candidate vet prominently to the front. Teller may be the nominee it he will come and stand on our platform. We will make a platform that any honest man who wants reform can stand on, We will naturally give the South due considera- tion in the selection of our nominee.” CAPS THE CLIMAX. O’Brien’s July Clearance Opens to an Immense Crowd and Is Pronounced the Greatest Bargain Sale of AllL As usual, O’'Brien’s annual July bargain sale openedto an immense crowd yesterday. And “a crowd” at O’'Brien’s means a vast number of people; for any one of the many broad aisles of the firm’s mammoth estab- lishment will accommodate many more than an average retail house. But the crowd was there and its magnitude belied the general belief that every one is out of town—in fact, as Mr. O'Brien said, *it un- mistakably proved that there are always plenty of buyers if the inducements are strong enough.” In this case there Was no question as to the unusual character of the inducements, the entire remainder of the firm’s spring and summer stock of dry goods and cloaks having been marked down for clearance to figures that in many cases were less tian half original selling prices. Nothing—not even the latest styles and novelties—was spared from the sacrifice, and the eagerness of the throngs that sur- rounded every table and lined every counter when the store was visited in the atternoon shoged that buyers thoroughly recognized tHe unusual opportunity pre- sented, ana fully realized that the goods could not last long at the “‘ziving away’’ prices prevailing. % Judging from its auspicious opening and the radical measures adopted for its con- tinuance the ultimate success of this great sale becomes an assured fact, and 1t bids fair to be Jong remembered as the greatest of all O’ Brien’s great bargain sales. | The Sudden Revival of an IT PROMOTES CHANGES having forty or more co- | dock, *‘for poiitic reasons. think t at Directors Clinton and Hender- son are against it. | as you know, is a lawyer, advised us that if ever taken into the courts it would, in | all probability, be declared to be unconsti- ment to see to the minds and morals of | the primary children, and their positions | are not, of course. d rule.

The rule was formally adopted at the latest session of the Board of Education and is now in full force and effect. The unmarried ladies now teaching in the public schools are | much more numerous than the wives and | widows, and this news is likely to take | them by surprise. Still they must make up their minds | that it will be impossible under the pres- | ent administration, at least, to enjoy sim- | ultaneously the iuxury of a husband and a | position in the department.

National Iron Works Place a Second At~ tachment on Box-. fiice Recaipts. The Park Theater on Grove street, be- tween Polk street and Van Ness avenue, succumbed last evening to the second at- tachment placed on the receipts of the box office by Marshutz & Cantrell, pro- prietors of the National Iron Works of this City. Thursday evening of last week this firm box office, and ti.e sum of $10 75 was then obtained by the firm. The attachment was released and business was resumed by William E. Johns, lessee and manager of the theater. Last evening the Sheriff again appeared on the scene. The playgoers who had ex- pected to pay 25 cents each for the joy of seeing the only Dan McCarthy, Irish comedian, as the “‘Pride of Mayo,” were grievously disappointed to read an an- nouncement on the outside that the theater would be closed until next Mon- day evening. ¥l.e amount of money due the National Iron Works, according to the attachment papers, is $72.

A choked sewer on California street caused the destruction of considerable material in the paintshop of Henry F. Wagner, at 635 California street, during Sunday night. When Mr. Wagner arrived at his shop yesterday morning to resume work he found his material floating about onapond of dirty water. First he was puzzled to ascertain the cause of the sub- mersion, but an investigation soon con- vinced him that the trouble originated in a defective sewer. Pumps were called into requisition and men went to work repairing the damaged waste-conductor. In the meantime the arrangements held a meeting in the hall | painter was busy separating oil from water of the Exempts on Brenham place, when | and white lead from both. what had been done was reviewed, and it | was decided to make a report to the com-| pany at a meeting to be held to-night at | which every member is expected to be | present. The programme as arranged is as fol- lows: As the bell sounds on the Central station of the fire alarm system the flag | will be run to the masthead of the pole at the head of the square by a detachment of men from the fagship detailed for that purpose by order of Admiral Beardslee; the firing of a salute and the playing of “The Etar-spangled Banner’’ by the band. Then Janies Bayard Whittemore Jr. will read a copy of the proclamation that was | issued by his great-granafather, Commo- dore Sloat, upon the seizure of Monterey. | The band will then piay *‘Hail, Colum- bia,” after which Rabbi Voorsanger will deliver the oration, and the programme will close with the rendering of the Na- tional hymn, “America.” The old doutle-decker hand engine, cov- ! cred with bunting, will be rolled to the| eastern sidewalk of Brenham place; the plaiform on wi extended and serve as the rostrum for the reader of the proclamation and the orator.

Tziu is a curiosity which for twenty- eight years was under a shed in the South- ern Pacific Railroad Company’s yard, near Third and Townsend streets, where it was kept for use in case of fire, and it has upon it several lengths of leather copper-riveted hose that was in use long before carbon- ized rubber or canvas hose came into service. There are many in this City who when they see this on Thursday will for the first | time see that kind of fire hose. There will be a detachment of men from | the Philadelphia, soldiers from the Pre- sidio, members of the Naval Battalion and miiitary, and naval officers, State and City and County officers who have been in- vited. After the ceremony the invited guests will be treated to a collation in the hatl of the Exempts. THE LABOR UN.ONS. The Plasterers Have Admitted Appren- tices Into Their Organization.

All Japan tea, that we know of, sold on the coast (except Schilling's Best) is colored falsely — gener- ally with Prussian Blue, which is poison. Unless you are a thorough judge of tea, you can’t tell pure tea from poisoned and | weighted tea. The safe Japan tea is Schilling's Best. 1t is made from the first choice of tea-leaves, and nothing is put into it to make it look better than it is. It is honest tea, and has an honest backing; your grocer gives you your money back if you don’t like Sc/illing's Best. A Schilling & Company San Francisco 321 DR. A.
