The wharves are again beginning to present a busy appearance. During the past week quite a fleet of deep-water ships | got in and nearly all of them were docked. All the arrivals made unusually long pas- sages, but strange to say the fast vessels took, as a general rule, from fitty to sixty- five days to round the Horn, while the siow sailers made the run from 50 to 50 1 from thirty to thirty-five days. Very few of the new arrivals are under charter and in consequence they will have to join the idle fleet at Sausalito or Oakland Creek. Among the late arrivals are the British bark Ravenscourt, 173 days from London, and the Italian bark F. 8. Ciampa, 172 days from Cardiff. Captain McLean of the Ravenscourt reports a succession of heavy gales to the Bay of Biscay and from that on light but favorable winds. The genial skipper is well known in San Francisco and his bark is a very handsome craft, .| even if she did make a long run of it. Captain Cocurullo of the F. 8. Ciampa also reports a succession of gales, light winds and calms.

Chief Engineer Kress of the steamer State of Californie was sttacked by three of the firemen Jast Sunday night. He was rescued by the crew fore much damace was done. The firemen had been discharged for cause. P. J.

The business of the Government temporary | apply warehouse in this City, worth | 000 s year to local merchants and prospects of much greater trade, is threatened for the first time in fourteen years by Portland. August Florentine, the proprietor of the Four-mile House in South San Francisco, was shot erday noon while standing at his own bar by Arthur A. Jackson and instantiy killed. Jackson subsequently gave himself up. A dis- pute about drinks seems to have been the cause of the killing. Dr. Marc Levingston, as one of the executors of the Fair “pencil will,”” has notified the at- tor u the case that he will ask to have the names of the Fair sisters stricken out of the court record as petitioners for the probate that wili. The ground of his motion will fraud and eollusion. Eight hundrea thousand of the wage-earners West nre said to be united in a secret on known as the “Freemen’s Pro- t Stlver Federation,”” whose object it is to bring about the free coinage of tne white metal ip the ratio of 16 to 1, and-to oppose all monopolistic institutions. wife, who s | r, was yesterday held to | s consumed in getting | far as storms were concerned. All yesterday afiernoon the sailors on the Ravenscourt were engaged unbending sail. She presented a pretty appearance | as she lay off Aungel Island, with the men on the yards handling the sails. The tug Vigilant towed the schooner | Free Trade to the wreck of the Pacific Mail Company’s Colombia yesterday. The engines and boilers are to be taken out of the steamer, and when thereisa ioad on the schooner another vessel will be sent down and the Free Trade towed to San Francisco. There is trouble brewing on the steamer State of California. Saturday night last i one of the waiters slashed the assistant chief steward with a carving knife, and on Sunday night some of the firemen got Chief Engineer Kress on the whari and at- tempted to thrash him. Before they seri- ously injured him several of the crew went to the chief's assistance and rescued him. The firemen had been dismissed by tne engineer for cause, and they thougiit they had a grievance against him. The steamer George Loomis arrived from southern ports yesterday, and the captain reports having passed off Point Conception a German bark fiying the sig- nal R.J. B. T. Thisis probably the Ger- man bark Artemis, now out over 170 days from Hamburg for Port Los Angeles. Her signal letters ars R. J. C. T. The captain of the Loomis may have made a mistake in a letter, as no other German bark would be likely to be 1n the neighborhood of Con. ception at this time. 'Fhe English are going in for tramp steamers and in a few years sailing ships will be a thing of the past. The Algoa, now on her maiden voyage, is the largest cargo carrying steamer ever built in Eng- |land. Her deadweight capacity is 11,375 tons and her dimensions are, length over all 465 feet, beam 55 feet, depth of hold 35 feet. In comparison with tue building of this steamer is thesale of the ship Damson Hill in Liverpool last March. The vessel is well known in San Francisco and ship- ing men will remember her as one of the gesx found ships that ever came into port. She was built by Harland & Wolf in 1893 auction her owners were glad to accept $64.000, which shows a depreciation in value of over $50,000 in less than three years. Three little steamers, the Water Lily, 32 tons, Manx Fairy, 27 tons, and St. Mawes | Castle, 25 tons, which were formerly en- gaged in the passenger trade on the Man- Canal, bave been sold to some parties in Perth, Australia. As they can- not carry coal sufficient for a 12,000-mile vovage, they were rigged as fore and aft schoon They are now on their way and English papers say they are the smailest vessels that ever attempted so long a voyag AN OLD SUIT REVIVED. Action of the Tyler Mining Company Has Been Twice Around the Legal Circle. The Tyler Mining Company of Oregon, plaintiffs in an action to recover $200,000 from Charles Sweeney, Frank R. Moore, Last Chance Mining Company, Idaho Mining Company and Republican Mining Company, filed a writ of error in the TUnited States Court of Appeals yesterday asking for a rebearing of their cause. The plaintiffs claim they own what is known as the Tyler lode, situated in the Yreka district of Shoshone County, Idaho. In 1890 the defendants named herein, ac- cording to the complaint, took possession of the property, taking out ore to the value of $200,000. I'he defendants set up the claim that the lode had its top or apex within their surface lines, which contention was sus- tained by the Circuit Courtof Idaho. The | suit was then carried to the Court of Ap- | peals for this district and the decision of the lower court upheld. The action was | then taken to the Supreme Courtof the United States and a new trial ordered. The case was accordingly heard a second time in the Circuit Court of Idaho, ending in the same manner as the first. Not sat- isfied with this defeat the plaintiffs again appear before the Court of Appeals, alleg- ing that the lower tribunal erred in forty- three instances. In spite of this formid- able array it is thought the Circuit Court of Idaho will be sustained, in which event there will be no further appeal. ——————— To Transfer Biz Bonds, P. C. Jones, a man-of-affairs at Hono- lulu and Minister of Finance under the Provisional Government, came up from the islands Sunday and will leave for the East to-day or to:morrow. Mr. Jones is going to New York and to other money centers for the purpose of inducing Amer- ican capital to take hold of Hawalian Government bonds to the amount of $3,000,000. The idea is to have these bonds transierred from London to the United States, to obtain, if possible, a lower rate of interest. ... Trunks Moved 25 Cents. Commercial Transfer Co., 43 Sutter strect.

PREPARING FOR THE GREAT FAIR, The Coming Exhibit of All Californian Productions. e A MINIATURE FOUNDRY. Many of the Exhibits Will Be in Operation Every Night. ART A LA PARIS SALON. There Is a Big Programme of Attrac- tions for Special Nights—Debates on Silver and the Charter. The Mechanics’ Pavilion is at this time a scene of activity. Assistant Superin- tendent Clark, with & corps of assistants, is busy with chalkline and tape-measure marking off the spaces on the ground floor and the galleries that are to be occupied by the exhibitors of home products. These have taken all the available space. There will be nearly 400 exhibits, quite a number of which will be in operation, showing the working up of the raw material to the fin- ished state. main pavilion has been raised to a level with the rest of the floor. The fish dis- play wiil be increased by three new tanks by the California Fish Commission, which will have a fish-hatchery in operation. The annex on the Hayes-street side, which was on the occasion of the previous fair a sort of storeroom for odds and ends, will be made one of the most brilliant corners of the big building. In this there w:ll be a' display of electrical apparatus and lights, and in the center,in a space thirty-seven by thirty-eight feet, there is being put in position the plant in minia- ture of the Union Iron Works, that was exhibited at the World’s Fair. Around this there will be models of all the vessels for the United States navy built by the Scotts. Machinery ball will bave a targe display of mining machinery to give visitors an idea of the practical manner in which ore is reduced. In the gallery at the Polk-street end the Gundlach Company, the wine firm will have an extensive display of its products, including a large tun in which wine is allowed to ripen. The old saw display, which in the past has been a ragged-edged attraction, will give way 10 a much more attractive ex- hibit. In the center aisle of the main floor an Egyptian structureis to be erected by Tillmann & Bendel, in which they will make a show of nothing but goods of Cali- fornia manufacture. Workmen com- menced yesterday to lay the foundation for this structure. An enlarged band stand will mpi’ the central portion of the Pavilion. From there Conductor Hinrichs will lead a band of fifty musicians, who are already rehearsing. On the north side of the main floor the Bowers Rubber Company and the Califor- nia Cotton Mills will have working ex- hibits, - In one part of the building there will be an exhibition of the manner of working the cathode rays, and those who are anxious to try the experiment will have an opportunity of placing a hand under the light and being treated to a vision of the bones that are concealed by the flesh. The Fulton Iron Works and the Hallidie ‘Wire and Rope Works will have extensive displays and there will be a display of the Graham Stove Works and the manufacture of the bicycle by the Yosemite Company. Superintendent Gilmore stated yester- day that in his opinion the exhibits on opening day will be far more complete than they have been at any previons ex- hibit. “The reason of that,’” said the superintendent, ‘‘is the three cash prizes offered for the best three exhibits that are ready when the fair opens on the 1st of September. The first is $250, the second $175 and the third $75, and the in- dications are that within a week the building will be fuli of workers. I am of the opinion that there will be but few stragglers this year.’” The art gallery will be in charge of Henry Raschen, 2nd only the works of Cali- fornia artists will be exhibited. A com- mittee of three artists willjbe selected b the intending exhibitors, and they wil pass on every picture that will be en- titled to a place on the walls. This com- mittee will be named on the 20th. It is probable that there will be a drawing for pictures after the manner that drawings are condus in the Paris Salon. At one of the buildings a space has been set apart for the exhibit to be made by the Dairymen’s Union, which it is expected will be the largest of the kind ever at- tempted in this State. Messrs. R. P. Doolan, Joseph M. Cumming and 8. H.

It Is Contested by Her Son, Walter Jenks, Who Olaims His Mother ‘Was Insane. ‘Walter Jenks through his attorneys has filed a coatest to the will of his mother, Sarah Jenks, who died june 22, 1896, leav- ing an estate worth $9580. The property of deceased consisted principally of real estate situated in Vallejo, and was left by will to B. F. Buhr, who is named as execu- tor of the will; to George M. Frisbee, a nephew of the deceased; to St. Vincent’s Church of Vallejo; to Moses Frishee, a brother of testatrix, and to H. J. Webster. To the contestant, who is the only son of Mrs. Jenks, but $50 was bequeathed. Walter Jenks at present resides in Lon- don, England, and contests his mother's will on the ground that the principal part of her property was left to Buhr, who isno relative of hers, while he, her only son, is practically cut off. It is claimed that the will was not ex- ecuted or attested as required by law, and that Mrs. Jenks, who at the time the will was drawn was suffering from a fibrous tumor, an operation to remove which was in _prospect, was not of sound mind. It is also alleged that B. F. Buhr, the executor named in the will and the princi- pal legatee, is a professional gambter, who eighteen months Erinrw the death of Mrs. Jenks resided in her house and obtained such undue influence ana control over her as to exciude from her natural affections the petitioner. The Divorce Courts. Lizzie Noeil yesterday obtained a divorce from Ransom A. Noell. Judge Hunt granted the decree because of the defendant’s deser- tion. Desertion was the ground on which Georgie C. Burnham_secured a divorce from Allan F. Burnham. Judge Hunt granted the decree. William O’Connell was granted a divorce from Sarah O'Connell because of the latter’s hebitual intemperance. The custody of the minor child was awarded to the plaintiff by Judge Hunt. THE VOTERS HAVE ALL REGISTERED, The Precinct Booths Closed Their Doors Last Evening. TOTAL NUMBER LARGE. Great Increase in Central Reg- istration Over Years Gone By. WILL PURGE ALL THE LISTS. Registrar Hinton Says That There Has Been Far Less Stuffing Than Usual. Precinct registration, that has been held for the past five days, closed at 10 o’clock last evening, and those who have failed to declare their qualifications as voters will be compelled to stand aside and see their more fortunate or thoughtful brethren cast their ballots on election day. The feeling of uncertainty that prevailed up to the close of central registration re- garding the legality of the work in the precincts, made a vast difference this year regarding the mannerin which the electors of the City chose to insure the exercise of their right. Toward the last the central bureau, with an extra force of clerks work- ing full time, was rushed to its fuilest extent and at times the crush was enor- mous. The result was that 58,626 voters were registered, an increase of 17,000 over last year. When precinct registration began the result was at once apparent, for the officers appointed to attend to those who had not visited Registrar Hinton’s head- uarters at the new City Hall had little to o beside kicking their heels about the precinct booths and whistling for voters to come in and be registered. In some precincts the number recistered did not exceed five a day. It was figzured that the 26,000 names registered from the precincts last year would dwindle to about half that sum, and the result shows that the calculations of the officials were not far off. Up to the closing hour the number of those who had taken advantage of the five days footed up a total of 13,930, with thirty-nine precincts to hear from. Added to the 58,626 recorded at the central bureau, it appears that the regis- tration of the last election was exceeded by over 4000 names. the first four days was as follows: Aungust 5, 2652; 6, 2074; 7, 2569; 8, 2577. For the next three days the election officers of the precincts will be engaged in checking up the books of their precincts with a view of clearing off, if possible, the names of those who are not entitled to be on the rolls. As only residents of the precincts were appointed on the boards, and generally those familiar with the names of the electors in their various localities, it is expected that this work will result in the dropping from the lists of a large propor- tion of those who have no right to cast votes. The names objected to will be laced on a doubtful list and dropped if investigation shows that their registration was fraudulent. Those who are familiar with the polit- cal situation asit now stands say that the importance of the issues involved in the coming election are largely responsible for the increase in the registration, and that on all sides are the evidences that the electors of the country are more than ever alive to the desirability of casting \their ballots on November 4. X! Registrar Hinton said last evening that he believed that there had been compara- tively little fraudulent registration, and that flilw names would be dropped from the roll. — An Early Moraning Blaze. The Pacific Refinery and Roofing Com- pany’s works ou Illinois street, wore damaged by fire yesterday morning to the extent of $2500. The slarm was turned inabout 4 4. ., and after an hour’s hard work, the department succeeded in extinguishing the flames. The fire started ina corner of the yard, burning several sheds where oils and other combus- tibles were stored. The origin of the confla- gration is not known. No one, so far as cen be ascertained, has been near the premises since Saturdey night. Marshal Towe is insti- tuting & searching investigation with a view of determining if it was the work of incen- diaries. The owners of the building think, Fowever, that the cause of the blaze was spon- taneous combustion. — e —— 8. O. Alexander’s Estate. The accounts of Golda Alexander, exccutrix of the will of 8. O. Alexander, have been set- tled and the order for final distribution made. The executrix under tne will is sole legatee and inherits §44,289 20 in cash, the property at the southeast corner of Powell and O’Farrell streets and acres of land in Merced Coun- ty. The latter, however, is i ncumbered by & e{alm of the San Francisco Savings Union for ,000. Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria.

THE CASE OF CHINESE ANNIE, She Is Experiencing Wonderful Relief and Is Sanguine of Complete Recovery. The great Goto cure for leprosy, which was imported recently, has laid its healing finger on the sufferings of the lit- tle band of outcasts at the Pesthouse, is checking the progress of their loathsome sickness and is alleviating their pfin. Scarcely a month has eiapsed since this remedy was introduced as an experiment among the fifteen or twenty patients housed in the damp and draughty habita- tions of the leper colony. Nevertheless, within this short interval three of the most virulent cases are showing signs of im- provement. According to the statement of the super- intending physician, Ah Kim, the China- man, who suffered from an extreme case of tubercular leprosy, has beeen remark- ably benefited. His hands and his face- which, at the beginning of the treatment were in an inflamed and painful condition, are slowly healing. The burning pain in his arms and legs has almost entirely dis- appeared. The swelling in his face is also going down. He is very happy at the improvement in his condition and says that he will surely get well. Bruce, another leper who had the dis- ease in avirulent form, says heis confi- dent of getting completely well. An ex- tremely stubborn growth in the roof of his mouth has healed wholly and he ex- presses himself as feeling more buoyant in body and spirit than he has for years. “‘Chinese Annie,” whose face was in a terrible condition, swollen and covered with nodules, is vastly improved. The nodules are going down and she is very hopeful and believes she will get well. n the patients not suffering from the virulent forms of the disease the steps toward recovery are not so clearly dis- cernible, although in their cases no ad- vance of symptoms has been observed. The superintending physician said: “There is no_ question as to_the efficacy of the medicine. efficacy, however, cannot be so easily demonstrated in those who have not ulcerated tubercular forms of the disease. Of the fifteen lepers who suffer from the disease only three have it in its virulent stage. “The remedy, though, goes like an angel of the Lord into those dreary walls and NEW TO-DAY.
