ALL DELAYED OFF PORT. The Progressist Reports Nine fquare-Riggers Off Point Reyes. REINSURANCE PAID ON THEM. Several Steam-Schooners Tied Up Ow'ng to a Break-Down in a Lumber Mill. Gamblers on overdue ships were joyful yesterday. The A. G. Ropes, on which 10 per centreinsurance was paid, gotin from New York, and the City of Philadelphia, on which 95 percent has been paid, has been spoken this side of the Horn with all weil. The British ship Cedarbank, now ont 187 days from Antwerp and on which 25 per cent reinsurance was paid, was spok-n off Point Reyes and half a dozen other vessels were sighted in the fog, all at- tempting to make port under unfavorable circumstances. It is thought that nearly all the overdue fleet is now outside await- ing a chance to get in. The fleet is as fol- lows: Jordan Hill, 179 days from Liver- pool, 30 per cent; City of Philadelphia, 170 days from New York, 95 per cent; Santa Clara, 157 days from New York, 30 per cent; Wilhelm Tell, 154 days from Swan- sea, 30 per cent; Cedarbank, from Ant- werp, 25 per cent, and one or two others which have nlren&y arrived in port. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 1896, picture entering the Golden Gate yester- day. Captdin Rivers on the A. G. Ro declined a tow and brought his vessel in under full sail. The Brenda was towed in and the Progressist came steaming in late in the afternoon. A couple of Honolulu packets also got in, and she Ventura, from Comox, B. C., with coal, also put i an a pearance. With such a big fleet in sight the chances are that business will again boom on the water front. The ferry steamer Tiburon was delayed balf an hour on the 9 A. M. trip {eslerd-y. A small bolt in the machinery broke and 1t took the chief engineer and his assist- ant wu a while to repair damages. Cap- tain White managed to make time, how- ever, and the steamer left on her usual 11 A. M. trip punctually. They had lots of fun with Frank Bragg on Folsom-street whari yesterday. One of the Custom-house officers offercd to bet that he could tell his weight to a pound. Frank took the bet nng the weizhing began. Captains Randall, Hawley, Haskells, Silovich, Marshall and others were standing _around awaiting develop- ments. The Inspector got Frank’s two arms over his shoulders and hoisted him in the air. Then there was fun. Each one of those captains produced a barrel stave, and it is safe to say that Bragg got at least one good one for every pound of his avoirdupois before he managed to wriggle to terra firma. Weights can still be tested on the Folsom-street scales. The State of California on the Portland route will be laid up for one trip and the Mexico will take her place. The latter has been newly refitted throughout and is now one of the finest vessels in the fleet. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s Orizaba léft Mazatlan on the 18th inst. and will be due here on the 25th inst. in the morning.

She will go via Puget Sound ports and will carry nothing but coaloil, gunpowder and other dangerous goods. The steamer Zealandia sailed for Cen- tral American ports yesterday in com- mand of Captain F. W. Hart, late of the Mariposa. She has taken the place of the Colombia and went out loaded with gen- eral merchandise. Dave Watson, who has served his time on the Mariposa from quartermaster up, has been promoted to the position of chief bfficer and R. Ray has been_made second and J. Torres third officer. The Mariposa will sail to-morrow with a full cargo and a large passenger list. The Occidental and Oriental Steamship Company’s Doric sailed for the Orient yesterday with one of the largest cargoes of flour that has ever left this port in & passenger steamer.

A QUESTION OF KILLING COWS, Milk Inspector Dockery Has an Interesting After- noon. HE ENLISTS THE POLICE. Meat -Inspector Davis Effects a Flank Move- ment. A HERD DRIVEN AWwWAY. Dairymen Will Oppose the Kiiling of Their Cattle—Will Go to Court. Milk Inspector Dockery and Meat In- spector Davis had a field day yesterday. With Veterinary Surgeon Neff they vi: ited the Swiss Alpine dairy for the pur- they must be kilied. The dairymen said “nor ’ Dochl:iy. Davis and the veterinary re- tired, and after dinner returned with three policemen and three vaqueros. They were met at the fence by the dairymen and their employes, and the indications al! nted wa:Birlud encounter, for both ockery and Davis said they would have the cows if other blood than that of dis- eased bovines had to be spilled. However, it was not necessary., While they were aiscussing the matier Davis opsned the gate, the ueros rode in, drove the cows out of the inclosure before they could be intercepted and took them to Butchertown, where they now are. They will all be slaughtered to-day. The officers are very much incensed that they shounld meet with such opposition in the discharge ot their duty, especially, as they say, after having given the firm more than the benefit of every right which the law allows. This 1s the statement of the case asgiven by the officers of the board. On the other hand the dairymen declare that the young bull killed was free from any sign of disease, and they declare they will take the matter to court. This conclusion was reached at an in- formai meeting of the Dairymen’s Asso- ciation yesterday afternoon. They believe that the health authorities have exceeded their authority, and a test case will be made by enjoining the officials from slaughtering any more stock by way of an experiment. The views of the Dairymen’s Associa- tion may be set forth by the remarks of John D. Daly, who said last night: ‘‘The dairymen do not object to Mr. Dockery condemning diseased milch cows or destroying impure milk. On the con- trary, every right-minded man in the business—and I am safe in saving that the men who have invested their money in the dairy business are respectable citi- zens—are in favor of supplying their customers with good pure miik. *We are anxious and willing to havw our herd examined by competent veterinary poken Ths Side of the Horn. WHITTIER 00T CF THE DIRECTORMTE Resigned From the Board of the Valley Road. ‘HIS SUCCESSCR CHOSEN. J. A. Hooper Elected to the Va- cancy at the Stockholders’ Annual Meeting. REPORTS OF OFFICERS FILED. Brief Biographical Sketch of the New Du—eclrr of the People’s Railroad. At the first annual meeting of 'the stockholders of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railway Company yester- day directors and officers for the emsuing | year were elected and the reports of Secre- tary ‘Mnckie and Chief Engineer Storey were submitted, received and filed. Becretary Mackie’s report consisted of a carefully detailed statement of expendi- tures, and that of Engineer Storey of the progress made by the construction depart- ment during the year ending June 30, 1896. The salient features of both were published in THE Cary of Sunday last. All the trustees were presentand also the entire board of directors, with the ex- ception of W. F. Whittier, Alvinza Hay- ward and Isaac Upham. President Claus Sprecke's presided and the rolicall showed the following trustees present: Thomas Brown, Adolph B. Spreckels, Lovell White, Daniel Meyer, James Cross, James D. Phelan, C. de Guigne, O. D. Baldwin, F. W. Van Sick- len. Of the directors there were present the following: Claus Spreckels, Robert ‘Watt, Captain A. H. Payson, John D. Spreckels, J. B. Btetson, Charles Hol- brook, Leon Sloss, Thomas Magee. Some few months ago, jnsth) or 1o his departure for Europe, W. F. Whittier ten- dered nis resignation as a director, assign- ing as a reason for his action the press of private business. The other members of the board refused to acton it, however, until yesterday, when it was duly accepted, with appropriate words of regret.’ At the election of directors which fol- lowed the remainder of the old board was re-elected and J. A. Hooper was chosen to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mr. Whittier. Immediately on the adjournment of the stockholders’ meeting the directors met e w0 s s She Was Followed by the British Ship Brenda, Which Brings the News The Scene at the Golden Gate Yes- Among the arrivals yesterday was the British ship Brenda from London. The Star of France made the run in 1i4 days, but it took the Brenda. 158 days to cover the same distance. Lightwinds and calms and heavy weather rounding the Horn was the cause of the Brenda’s delay. Cap- tain Tultoch’s report is as follows: Sailed February 16. Had a fine run down the chennel. Had fine northeast trades 1o the equator. Crossed the equator March 12, longi- tude 26.30 west. Had notherly winds to lati- tude 21 south. Then hed southerly and sou th- weslfrzig winds to Cape Horn, which we passed Apri] {Was forty-three days from 50 south in the Atlantic to 50 south’in the Pacific. On April 23, Iatitude 55.40 south, longitude 64 west, Saw a four-masied bark with fore and main mast gone at the cap and mizzen-mast at the deck. The vessel had her signals set, but as it wag, blowing & heavy wesi-southwest gale at the time it was impossible fo render ber any assistance. Six other ships were also in sight at the time. Captain Tulloch’s report of speaking overdue ships is as follows: April 2.—Latitude 34 south, longitude 48 west, British ship Willlnm Tell, 42 days out from Swansea, for San Francisco. May 1.—Latitude 57 south, longitude 68 62 days out, ship City of Philadelphia, ew York for San Francisco. May 2.—Latitude 58 south, longitude 70 west, British bark Latham, 81 days out from Swansea for San Francisco. July 4.—Latitude 23 north, longitude 124 west, British ship Lauriston, 53 days out f{rom Sydney for San Francisco. April 23.—Latitude 56 south, longitude 64 west, British ship Fulwood, from Grimsby ior Portland, Or. April 23 —Latitude 56 south, longitude 64 west, British ship Loch Linnhe, irom Hamburg for San Francisco. April 23.—Latitude 56 south, longitude 64 west, British ship Gulf Stream,’from Antwerp for Port Los Augeles. On every one of these vessels more or less reinsurance has been paid and the joy among shipping men was correspondingly great when news of their having been spoken was received. The captain of the British whaleback Progressist reported on bis arrival yester- day that six miles west of Point'Arena he passed what he supposed (0 be the Brit- ish ship Ventura. On the 21st inst., at 6 A. M., five miles west of Point Reyes, he passeéd the Cedarbank and at the same time saw nine other vessels all trying to make port. The weather was thick and the wind light from the south. The Cambuskenneth, another overdue ship, now out 180 days from Hamburg, was spoken in latitude 55.34 south, longitude 79 west. Just what vessel in a dismantled condition was spoken by the Brenda seems to be in doubt, but the consensus of opin- ion among shipping men is that it was the Undaunted, now out 182 days from Bal- timore. She has not been heard from since she passed Cape Henry on January 15 last. The deep-water fleet presented a pretty taken down und an attempt will be made to save the engines and boilers, _ Tue body of Samuei Kenny, 200k on the ill-fated Blairmore, was tound in the hold of that vessel yesterday.

Master* pose of killing off some forty cows that had failed to pass the tuberculine test, as required by the United States law. They met with such opposition on the part of the proprietors of the dairy, Messrs. Baumann & Baumann, thev were com- pelled to enlist the services of some police- man and three vagueros to secure pos- s°ssion of the cows and drive them away by the exercise of force and a clever ruse. It will be remembered that the cows were condemned some time ago, and al- though Inspector Dockery read them the law in English and Davis translated it in German the Baumanns, who are Swiss, set up a claim that they did not understand their riehts in the prem- ises. The law grants them the privi- lege of having a veterinary surgeon present to represent their interests during the examination. They did not take advantage of ti.is, and finding forty of their cows condemned they made a pro- tesi which the Board of Health, however, was inclined to disregard. The officers were ordered to go ahead with the kiiling. Dockery, however, wishing that they be perfectly satisfied, urged that anotherjtest be made for “their benefit. The board, however, could not give the matter the time necessary within anotler two weeks, and for the intervening time Dockery insisted that the condemned cows be kept in qdnnrnmine and no part of their miik used, This was an expensive. proceeding for Baumann & Baumann, and they urged that the test be made at once. Accompanied by Veterinary Surceon Neff, the two ia- spectors went to the dairy vesterday, as stated. Veterinary Surgeon Eagan repre- sented Baumann & Baumann. He decided that it was not necessary to go throush with another test. It was agreed that three cows be selected from the forty and killed. If they were found diseased then the whole lot should be condemned and slaughtered. If they were in good heaith then another and very careful test should ve made. Dockery selected a cow. It was killed by Davis. The iungs wgre given to tue two surgeons and they were found to be badly diseased. Then Baumann selected a Holstein bull, 18 months old. It was kitled and fonnd to be in an advanced state of tuberculosis. | It was then that the Baumanns com- menced to fight against their own agree- ment. Thev flatly declared that no more of the cows should be killed. One of their employestook up a position near by with an ax—chopping wood as an excuse, Doek- or‘yr believed, for lnvln%m ax in his band. he officers said the agreement had been fairiy carried out on their part; the cows had been shown to be diseased and surgeons, and when they find a cow or cows suffering from tuberculosis to bave them separated from the healthy stock. We do not want our healthy cows to be- come infected by unhealthy ones. “But willing as we may be to have all this done, we decidedly object to have our stock killed—as we believe without due process of law. “‘Believing Mr. Dockery to be an honest, fair-minded man, I still believe he has ex- ceeded his authority. We propose to test this question in a court of justice.” A FORTY-VINER DEAD. “Bob” Egbert, Well-Known in This State, Died Yesterday at Rio Vista. Robert 8. Egbert, or “Bob Egbert” as he was better known to old Californians, died yesterday at his ranch near Rio Vista. He leaves two sonsand a daugh- ter, one of the former being Charles Eg- pert, the manager of the Philadelphia Brewery. The deceased was a ‘‘49-er” and began life in this City as a merchant in the firm of Sisson, Egbert & Co.. at Col- fax. Finally he withdrew from business and_retired to Rio Vista. He was of a steriing character and respected by all who knew him. The funeral will take place Friday from the residence of his son Charles, 1523 Webster street, Oakland, and the body will be buried in Mountain View Ceme- tery. ——————— Burglats Loot-a House.
