McRitchie is master, and his vessel is 2041 tons burden, 335 feet long, 42 feet 6 inches broad and 26 feet 7 inches deep. She will take away about 3500 tons of wheat. The Linlithgow was not built for speed, and in consequence she took over twenty days to come here from Nasgasaki. Her officers’ quarters are small, but then her coal and freight capacity are first rate. The other tramps on the way here are the Strathgarry, Oaptain White, 3264 tons register, 396 feet long, 48 feet 7 inches vroad and 28 féet deep, and the Un- daunted, Captain 8.

Sacramento’s Federated Trades Indorses the Labor Com- missioner. It Gives a Ss:vere Slap at the San Francisco Trades Couacil’s President. Beveral weeks ago the San Francisco Labor Council passed a resolution offered by T. F. Burns, one of is officers, con- demning Labor Commissioner E. L. Fitz- gerald and the Free Labor Bureau. The complaint was that there were two entrances to the purean, one for those seeking employment, which is from Till- man place, while the employers enter the | front door at 325 Sutter street. This dis- tinction Mr. Burns thinks is undemocratic | and an infringement upon the equal rights | principle that all are supposed to enjoy. The council indorsed his views of the situation.

Two very important steps were taken by the executive committee of the Carnival of the Golden Gate yesterday. In the morn- ing General Backus and Colonel O’Byrne appeared before the Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors, asking that ex- clusive right be granted the executive committee to erect grand stands and tribpunes on Market street and Van Ness avenue during carnival week. Colonel O’Byrne presented the matter to the com- mitiee and stated that it was the desire of the carnival management to chargea small sum for the privilege of occupying these seats that would be provided, and to keep them out of the hands of speculators. The funds thus derived will be used to meet the expenses of the carnival. The committee unanimously recommended the granting of the petition. Another step was the securing of the Mechanics’ Pavilion, commencing on Monday, October 5. This will foliow im- mediately upon the close of the Manutac- turers’ Fair. Jtis expected to be able to occupy the Pavilion for the first carnival performance on Wednesday night. The management will endeavor to place their decorajors at work on the interior of the Pavilion immedistely after the close of the fair, and will see exhibitors at the Pavilion to request them to hasten the re- moval of their goods. The date of thecar- nival, in accordance with these contracts, is definitely set for Monday, October 5, and will continte for the following six days, closing on the following Saturday night. . ihe following partial list of collectors was announced last night: Harry Mann, William Greer Harrison and W.J. Cal- lingham for the insurance compani Frank Marston, A. W. Wilson an Charles Montgomery, restaurants and hotels; Colonel John O'Bryne and Judge Babrs, new City Hall; J. M. Litchfield, corporations; illiam Gans, Western Addition ; and David Rich, real estate men. The design of “Folly rampant upon the bear rampant,’”’ submitted by F. A. Haber, Was awal the special prize of $25 for the best design for the carnival, and has already been forwarded to be oopirigmad. Mr. Haber declined to accept the prize, and offered to donate it to the committee, with the request that it be offered as a premiam for the best series of posters of the new art style descriptive of the carnival. The prize of $25 offered for posters is open now to the competition of Jocal ar- tists. The posters intended for competi- tion must be in the hands of the executive committee, at the headquarters in the Mills' building, not later than July 27 at4r M. The change of date for the benefit at the Columbia Theater will necessitate a change of' programme. Tickets hereto- fore sold for the benefit will be available for the performance next Thursda; ing, and can be exchanged attl next Wednesday for reserved seats. The auction will take place next Tuesday afternoon at 1 o’clock, and a very novel method of disposing of the seats will be introduced on this occasion. San Francisco as a Summer Resort. Many veople find this City a good enough summer resort, and prefer to re« main here rather than go to the seashore resorts, mountains or springs. The cli- mate is unsurpassed, attractionsare numer- ous and a day’'s pleasure can easily. be planned and rounded out with a dinner at the Cafe Zinkand. For the Indian postal service there are ‘on 10,000 postoffices, offic by over 1500 postmasters and with “some 13,000 postmen. DICK WILLIAMS HAS DISAPPEARED, Generally Believed That He Has Sought Safety in Mexico. HIS BAIL IS DOUBLED. Three United States Deputy Mar- shals Seek in Vain for the Ex-Inspector. MRS. WILLIAMS FILES A PAPER Says Her Husband Hed Only Fifty Dollars When He First Went Into the Custom-Hcuse. It is believed in customs circles that Dick Williams, now under indictment by the Federal Grand Jury for fraudulently landing Chinese, has fled the country. So firm is this conviction that United Btates District Attorney Foote went into court yesterday mormag and asked that the ex-inspector’s bonds be increased from $2000 to $4000, or $500 each on the four in- dictments. In support of this request the District Attorney presented an aflidavit from Mrs. Williams and a second from Miss Maggie Gillespie, a former neighbor of Williams. The ex-inspector’s wife, in her affidavit, says among other things: After the said indictments were filed I heard the defendant say a number of times that he did not eare for the bond filed for his appearance in court in said cause; that the sald bond would be not sufficient’to induce him to stay in the State of California if he thought he Wlngoin' 10 be convicted: that he could leave the State and go to China, and that he had money enough to enable him to live there all his life, to live without doing any work; that if he went to China he intended to open & gambling-house and there pursue that as an occupation. Mrs. Williams then goes on to say that when she ceased to live with her husband he had $5300 in greenbacks and between $700 and $800 gold coin 1n the house. In addition to that there was $3000 in the San Francisco Bavings Union to her credit, the same having been given to her at various times by Williams in order that suspicion might not be directed toward hin. ‘The house in Scott street is owned Williams, but is in her father’s name. rs. Williams also says that when her husband was appointed inspector two years ago he was compelled to_borrow $50 in order to make a respectable appear- ance. Miss Gillespie affirms that Williams told her several days ago he intended selling his furniture, which cost about $800, and then leave the country. On the showing made by the District Attorney, Williams’ bond was increased to $4000 and a warrant issued for his arrest. Marshal Baldwin had three deputieshunt- {ing for the ex-inspector ali rday afternoon and last night. Up to a late hour, however, they had failed to find any trace of him. His orizinal bond consists of cash put up by himself, and it is be- lieved that he has decided to forfeit it. ‘Williams has not been seen around the Federal building since Monday. He called on Collector Wise about 20 clock in the afterncon and then dropped from sight. If he is still in the City Barry Baldwin has been utterly unabie to find him. If he has fled, then the probabilities are that he has gone direct 1o Mexico, where he would be free from molestation so far as the American Gevernment is concerned. The attorneys representing Williams deny that their client has left the City or has any intention of doing so. They say be will remain here for trial and con- fidently expects to clear himself of the grave charges now resting against him, BANQUETED THE OFFICERS. Borromean Council, ¥. M. I., and Its Friends Dined Together. Last Wednesday evening the hall of Borromean Council No. 129, Young Men's Institute, at 2131 Mission street, was ra- diant with lights and decorations, in the midst of which was the banquet-board, laden with good things prepared for the feast which was tendered the council’s new officers on that evening. President Dowdall introduced James A. Riley as toastmaster and the following toasts were responded to: “No. 129's New Features,” R. J. Dowdall; “A Little Red,” H. T. Gaffney; ‘“Our Qouncil,” G. F. Lynch; “The Absent Ones; Where Are They?” Dr. J. P. Mc- Carthy; “Our Heavy-weights,” T. J. Kurnr; 'he Ladies,”” N. J. Hoey; “Our Benedicts,” J. A. Riley; “Our Athletes,” Pavl B. Hay; “Our Officers,” R. E. Fa- zackerley ; *A Point of Information,” John Riley; ““Our Bachelors’ Soliloquy,” J. M. Toner. 2 During intervals between the toasts an interesting programme of music and reci- tations was_rendered by the following members: Professor P. W. D’Arcy, T. F. Gately, T. J. Panzini, J. J. Corrigan,-E. J. Coffey and the Borromean Glee Club. Just previous to the conclusion of the NEW TO-DAY. ““Indeed, cheap tea is reasonably sure to be bad tea; but, unfortu- nnt?ly, _r.here is.no guarantee of purity in expensive tea.”’ (Brooklyn, N. Y., Eagle). Yes, that is so; but the slight coloring in finer tea doesn’t do' much harm. Perhaps, if your colored tea suits you, you had bet- ter keep on drinking it; there are some people who thrive excellently on poor water and stale air.
