Macy and Will Bring General Merchandise. ANOTHER RECORD BROKEN. The Steamer China Beats Her Own Time From Honolulu by Over Two Hours, The fine American clipper ship William H. Macy is now loading at New York for San Francisco and will be the first of a new line that will carry general merchan- dise from the Atlantic to the Pacific. She will be followed by the A, J. Fuller from Philadelphia, and thereafter vessels will | be put on the berth as often £s the sraffic will justifiy. The new venture is fathered by Flint & Co. of New YorkandJ. F.Chapman & Co. of this City will be the local agents. Charles F. Flint is one of the most enter- prising men in the shipping business in He has succeeded in building up an enormous trade with South America, and now he has entered;into the contest for the Pacific Coast business. Captain J. F. Chapman is one of the best celections the New York concern could have made in the matter of local agents. He is a splendid business man and stands :/ce high with every merchant in the City. The William H. Macy was built at Camden, Me,, in 1883 and is 2092 tons net burden. She is254 feet 9 inches long, 43 feet 2 inches brg:d and 28 feet 3inches deep. She may expected here as the vioneer in the Pacific clipper iine about next November. Another ocean record has been broken, and the Pacific Mail Company’s China has again demonstrated her speed. Several months ago she made the run from Hono- lulu to San Francisco in 5 days 13 hours and 19 minutes, thus establishing a new record. Yesterday morningshe completed the same journey in 5 days 11 hours and 11 minutes, thus beating her own record by 2 hours and 8 minutes,” The steamer’s per- formance was a splendid one, as she aver- aged 15 knots an hour between Yokohama and Honolulu and 16 knots an hour be- tween Honolulu and San Francisco. The China left Honolulu on the 13th Inst. at6:22 p. . Daring the succeeding eighteen hours she covered 288 knots. The nextday she made 376 knots, the next 368, the next 376, the next 370, and at 8:04 A. M. yesterday she finished her course of 2094 nautical miles. The steamer’s time from | Yokohama was 15 days 15 hours and 29 minutes, which establishes another record irom that port, and from Hongkong 24 days 7 hours and 6 minutes. On the 15th inst. the China passed a steamer about 6 P. M. She was so far away, however, that there were no means of making her out. The general opinion is that the steamer was the Peking. The Peking left here on the 11th inst. and she was spoken in latitude 28 18 and longitude 146 22, or 1332 miles from San Francisco and 760 miles from Hono!ulu. If it was the Peking, therefore, she must have averaged over 13 knots from the time she | left S8an Francisco. She will have to do better than that, however, to beat the Australia, The cabln passengers of the China were: Dr. W. F. Arnold, Lientenant A. Boutakoff, E. H. Bramwell, J. E, Castle, A. Collins, Cheong Shu Cheong, W. D. Van Eck, Miss H. £, Fraser and maid, Dr. 8. @, Hill, Captain M. V. Lan- caster, P. Londolt, E. Learned, Miss L. Lewis, W. R, Matteson, Mr. cKay, A, 3.

Stone, Mrs. Thornton, Miss Thornton, Lieutenant S. Telaeff. Among the steerage passengers were two hunters, named Birch and Roach, from the sealing schooner Jane Gray. They got lost in_the fog, but succeeded fn making land. The schooner had only done fairly well when they left her. A new steam launch for the San Fran- cisco laundry was christened at Beedle’s boatyard yesterday and in a few days she will be plying among the shipping. The old boat used to break down once a week on an average, and then Henry Petersen would have to send the Amy out to search for ner. The new boat, however, will be ;bla to hold her own with anything in the ay. Returning from the launch “‘Charley” Hansen and “Jim’ Hartman began jok- ing Henry Petersen about being out of condition and saying he would stand no chance in a race with Hanlan. Henry im- mediately asked “*Are you fellows in good condition?’ anda they answered ‘“Yes.” They were then a mile from the depot and Peterson offered to give them 250 yards start and rin them to the train. For the first half mile it was a close race, but after that Petersen had it alt his own way. He finished almost as fresh as at the start, while Hanson haa to be carried into the car and given restoratives before he was able to walk around. Henry says he can can get into condition inside of six weeks to row the race of his life. b There was considerable movement in shigFing yesterday. The tramp steamer Linlithgow went to Port Costa to load wheat, and two British ships were towed to McNear’s by the Spreckels tugs. Sev- eral vessels were moved by Bhipowners’ and Merchants’ Towboat Company, and 1wo vessels, wheat-laden, came down from South Vallejo and Port Costa. The Blairmore was the great center of attraction on the bay yesterday. Thousands of people visited her, and half the sail and rowboats on the bay were alongside. Relic-hunters were so numerous that Cap- tain_ Burns had to place watchmen on the decks in order to put a stop to the pil- fering. ‘The work of cleaning up the ves- sel will begin to-d. * QUARTERLY RALLY.

What Is to Be Offered to the Patrans of the Play-Houses by the Managers To-Night. “Carmen” crested such a furor at the California during the past week that it has been decided to continue it to-night and during the balance of the week. Rose Coghlan and Frederick Warde have proven a strong team in this production, At the Columbia Theater the manage- ment announces for this evening “The Two Escutcheons,” a fascinating play that hasthe power of fixing Lhe attention of the audience during the time that it is on the stage. This is the farewell week of Maxine Elliott. The popular Irish comedian, Emmet Sheridan, will make his reappearance at the Grand Opera-house this evening in the leading role of an lrish comedy-drama, en- titled “Irish Inspirations.” This will be put on with fine scenic effects. That romantic opera by Thomas, “Mignon,” is on the bill at the Tivoli Opera-house. The title role will be as- sumed by Nina Bertini-Humphreys and Mme. Natali will appear as Filini, the actress. The character of Wilhelm Meis- }er will"be impersonated by Sig. Miche- ena. There will be a great attraction at the Orpheum Music Hall to-night in the per- son of the great Biondi, who has the pecu- liar faculty of being able to present a whole opera, he impersonating all the characters. A number of other new fea- tures will be presented. CHOOSING A QUEEN, Plans Now Under Consideration by the Carnival Com- mittee. A Director-General Will Be Selected This Afterncon—Miss Elliott on the Block. Several plans for the election of the fes- tive officers of the carnival, the kings and queens, will be presented at the meeting of the executive committee this afternoon. As the lady representing Calilornia will be drawn from among those elected or ap- pearing as candidates at the interior fiestas an estimate has been made of those from whom to choose and the smallest estimate the committee was able to arrive at was at least 250 ladies. A request has been made by a number of school children in the City, who are ambitious to preside over the festivities, to open the ballot for the school children’s queen on the first Monday in August, when the schools will reopen. They ask that the ballots be fixed at 5 cents apiece, that they may come within their limited means. Their request will probably be acceded fo. . Miss Maxine Elliott. who will auction the seats for the carnival benefit at the Merchants’ Exchange on Tuesday after- noon, is going to surprise the veteran auctioneers in the City with the methods which she will introauce to lure the dol- lars from the pockets of those attending the sale. Miss Elliott has in process of elaboration & scheme which she is carefully guard- misg as a secret, and which she is’ satisfied will be a striking novelty on the auction block. Her many admirers in this City propose to make the matinee on Wednes- day afternoon at the Columbia Theater, which is her last appearance, an occasion for showing their appreciation of her efforts, and at the same lime assisting the ca'i‘xainllfund. v e election -for carniyal directors will be held this afternoon. There are never‘-l applicants whose well-known energy will enable them to pull the carnival tirougn in excellent style. One important point that the parade committee has discovered is that no float exceeding twenty feet in height can be paraded on the streets of San Francisco rossed by electric trolley lines, This in- lormation is very important, as many organizations are’ already preparing de- signs for their floats, and considerable d;m:ge would‘ be done to u:en:I if they should come in contact with the h wires of the electric roads. 4 ikl ——————t Hit With a Stove-Lifter.

Raw Cotton, Kerosene and Ma- chinery to Be Loaded at the Southern Port. AND MORE LINES TO FOLLOW. Japanese Colonization Company to Buy 300,000 Acres in Mexico for Cotton. A special Commissioner from the Gov- ernment of Japan arrived here yesterday to study the prospects for the extension of commerce by Japanese steamship lines | to Mexican, Central American and South American ports on the Pacific Coast, and | also to consider the advisability of secur- ing cotton from the South, kerosene from Pennsylvania and Eastern-made ma- | chinery directly through San Diego for | transportation to Japan by one of the sev- | eral prospective steamship lines. | With the Government agent is a repre- sentative of the Japanese Colonization Company, which purposes now, through | these two men, to consummate the pur- | chase of 300,000 acres in the State of Chiapas, in the southwestern part of | Mexico. This tract of land is owned by the Mexi- can Government, and can be bought, the Japanese Commi ssioner thinks, for $§1 an acre, Mexicar money. The idea is to di- | vide it up into small sections of twenty acres and assign a section to each Japan- ese family. Some coolies will be em- ployed, but the main purpose is to intro- duce family life and &ncourage the colony to caltivate coffee, cotton, tobacco and | sugar. Particular attention will be given to raising cotton in this Tehuantepec | colony, as the manufacture of cotton goods has become one of the greatest in- dustries of Japan. T. Kusakado, the agent of the coloniza- | tion company, does not speak English fluently, as this is his first visit to America, but bis companion, Sho Nemoto, the special Government Commissioner, is a graduate of the University of Vermont and has been in America several times since he finished college, over fifteen years ago. Upon him the burden of the conver- sation fell when it came to explaining their mission to this country. “We get a great deal of cotton from Bombay,” said he, “but the fiber is not firm enough, and from such cotton we can- not make the best goods. Our best cotton has always come from the South in the | United States. We cousider that the best | in the world. “From this colony we hope to get cheaper cotton for our factories. At present we import no cotton from Mexico, only from the United States. Our own people raise some, but not nearly enough to supply the demand. 5 *‘This colonization company has existed five years, but_so far it has only been in- vestigating. Three times it has examined Mexican property, and now it is about ready to buy. The ‘pl!menu would ex- tend over a period of fifteen vears, “No; there has been no talk of buying land iu the United States. One reason is it is too bigh, and another reason is your laws probibit contract labor. “My business is the investigation of the commercial industry in Mexico, Central America, Pern and bhi!c.‘ We want to learn what the commercial prospects are for Japan at the ports of those countries, not only in shipping our goods but in im- porting for own markets. At the same time I shall not neglect the United States, which is the best iriend we have. Here we purchase all our kerosene, niuch ma- chinery and large quantities of cotton. **While my investigations are not for the steamship lines the information Lhope to obtain will g\fld’s in a measure the action of future Parliaments in subsidizing new steamship companies. All the steamship companies are private rations. “The act for the subsidizing of private steamship lines passed our Parliament last ‘ear. % “Already there is a subsidized line to Antwerp with steamers running regularly since May by way of the Suez Canal, the Mediterranean and Liverpool. Then there are to be other new lines to Singapore, Australia, Seattle, Mexico and one to New York by way of the Straits of Magellen. The last, however, is not quite decided upon. ‘The Yusen Kaisha, the largest steam- ship company of Japan, will run to Seat- tle about one steamer a month, I believe, although that is not definite. The line will begin operations in six months. “‘Another company will have charge of the sive to Tehuantepec. Just -when that line will be 1 cannot say. Its steamers will touch at 8an Diego m‘ Aca- pulco, and possibly even further south to other Central American ports.

Japan simply wants to handle her own | commerce in a cheaper way.’’ Mr. Nemoto and Mr. Kusakado are at the Occidental, where they will stay dur- ing their short visit here. ~After their in- vestigations are completed they will re- turn to this City. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR. Rev. Willlam Rader Tells His Congre- gation of the Great Convention iu Washington. Rev. William Rader, pastor of the Third Congregational Church, who recently re- turned from Washington, D. C., where he attended the fifteenth annual convention of the Young People’s Societies of Chris- tian Endeavor, spoke to his congregation last evening of the great convention. He spoke of the gathering of representatives of every State in the Union and from the provinces of Canada, and in glowing, elo- quent language described the scenes he witnessed in the capital of the Nation, and stated that the feeling on all sides was strong for holding the Christian Endeavor convention in San Francisco in the year 1897. The convention, he said, is an ex- pensive one, and the one held in Wash- ington had cost something like $25,000, and added that that amount has aiready been pledged for tnis City. The pastor spoke of the effect the con« vention had on the people and how it awakened them to a spiritual duty, saying that all of the twenty-two churches in which services were held were crowded to excess. POISON [N A CAT'S BITE, One of the Rare Cases Treated at the Receiving Hos- pital. Charles Hurst, a Restaurant Keeper, in a High Fever and His Hand Bad'y Swollen. It is not unusual for cases of dog bite to be treated at the Receiving Hospital, but cases of catbite are very rare indeed. The first in several years was registered at the hospital yesterday morning. Charles Hurst, 15 John street, is part owner of a restaurant at 39 Market street. He had a nice cat in his house that wasa terror torats and mice. The restaurant was plagued with rodents, so Hurst de- cided Saturday night to give pussy a chan e at them. He dumped her into a sack and walked with her through by-streets till he reached the restaurant. The cat resented being shut up in a sack and made her voice heard all the way. She made ineffectual efforts to get out of the sack, and when Hurst got to his restaurant the perspira- tion was ' pouring from every pore in his body. He laid the sack down on the floor of the restaurant and happened to place his left hand on the cat’s head. Instantly pussv’s teeth were inserted deeply fin his hand through the sack and he yelled with the pain. The cat dsshed out of the sack and made things lively for a few minutes tili she got iamiliarized with her new sur- roundings. Hurst tenderly nursed his wounded hand, which soon began to swell. He could got sleep a wink sll night from the pain and yuxerdafimoming he went to the hospital. Dr. Helms found the hand very badly swollen and the inflammation had extended up to his elbow. Hurst was also in a high fever, the poison from the cat’s teeth having got in its work. Dr. Helms tnoroughly cleaned out the wound, painted it with iodine and dressed it. He elso gave Hurst a preseription to cool his fever. No evil effects are ex- pected, but if Hurst had delayed much longer in having the wound attended to the consequences might have been seri- ous. ————— SMOKED CHICKEN. A “Black” Fire in Chinatown Causes Annoyance to the Department. ‘What is termed a “black” fire by the de- partment occurred at 735} Washington street yesterday shortly after 1 o'clock. When the engines arrived the men found the place full of smoke, with an ex- ciied crowd of Mongolians running about in confusion.

Julius Pulkmer, & roomer in the Overland House, Bacramento street, nearly lost his left ear early yesterday morning. He was stand- 1ng in the hallway opposite his bedroom tak- ing off his shoes before retiring, and as he was rather unsteady on his legs, he gave a lurch and fell over the bannister to the floor below, striking on his left ear.
