The Harbor Commissioner Was on the Rover With Com- modore Bruce. 0UT ON A YACHTING CRUISE. Next Day Mr. Colnon Sighted Another Whale and Yelled, “There She Blows.” The handsome little yacht Rover re- turned from a cruise outside yesierday. President Colnon of the Harbor Commis- sion was the only guest Captain C. C. Bruce took out with him, and the three days they spent at sea proved to be a gen- uine treat. They spoke the Queen with the excursionists on board and were also in company with the two whaling crews that went out last Friday., When near Halfmoon Bay they witnessed a most ex- citing whale hunt, and the next day Presi- dent Colnon himself gave the signal “there she blows.”” On that occasion the yacht and two whaling boats were at anchor in Half- moon Bay and the whalers at once got under way, but failed to get fear the whale. The first time the whalers struck a sulphur bottom, and he led them a mersy dance. Only once did he take a rest, and then one of the crew got a lance into him. The mammal then sounded and wentdown 50 tast that the line had to be cut in order to keep the boat from going under. The next day when President Colnon sighted the second whale, everything was in a flurry on the yacht. The sedate Harbor Commissioner was as anxious to see that monster captured as the whalers were to capture him. Captain Bruce was no less excited, and in an incredibly short space of time the Rover was under way and in the wake of the whaleboats. At the last moment the whalers seemed to get scared, and would not approach the monster. When they did screw their courage to the sticking point, the whale was gome. The yacht wasthen put on her course, and yesterday afternoon was headed for San Francisco. “There are dozens of whales outside,”” said Captain Bruce yesterday, *and I am almost certain that the crews now out at sea will bring one in. It will certainly be | their own fault if they don’t. The mam- mals take no notice of the boats and the | crew could lay alongside of thgm if they | wanted to, but then the men seemed to get what the hunters call the ‘buck fever’ and get too excited to do anything.’’ On one occasion during the cruise Com- missioner Colnon himself got excited. 1t was late Saturday night or early Sunday morning. There was little or no wind and the current carried the yacht into the breakers. The tide was going out, however, and there was not the slightest danger, as once inside the bight the little vessel was carried out to sea with each suzceeding roller. The rolling and pitch- The British Ship Muskoka Arrived From Swansea Yesterday With an Addition to Her Crew List.

A NATIVE OF CAPE HORN Arrival of the Muskoka With an Addition to the Crew List. WATER-FRONT THIEVES BUSY. They Steal the Clothing and Shoes of the Men of the Barkentine Uncle John. For the first time in many years a sail- ing vessel arrived in port yesterday, after a etormy passage around the Horn, with a new-born babe aboard. The little one | came into the world when the wind was howling through the rigging of the good ship Muskoka and every gust put her lee rail under the water. Captain Crowe’s attention was divided between his wife and his ship, and between the two he had an unusually lively time of it for twenty- four hours. Captain Crowe isdetermined to make all his family good sailors, so when he sailed from Swansea on April 9 last he brought his wife along. On June 24, in latitude 58 deg. 14 mun. south, longitude 82 deg. west, his son and heir was born. Every- thing possibie was done for the comfort of the mother and child and both reached THE ROVER RETURNING FROM A CRUISE President Colnon of the Harbor yacht Rover.

Bruce of the saw a whale struck and escape, Colnon got away, owing to the ing of the yacht awoke Mr. Colnon and he went on deck to see what was the matter. *‘What course are you steering?” he asked the man at the wheel. “I'm blest if I She’s steering herself,”” was the re- plyv. “You see, sir, there’s no wind,”’ con- tinued the sailor, ‘“and we haven’t steer- age way, so the yacht must drift. We're going out to sea, however, and there isn’t any danger.”’ Colnon thought differently, however, and aroused Bruce, who was in a sound slumber. The latter went on deck, took a look around and said, “Go on back to your bed, we’re all right."” “It was one of the most enjoyable cruises I have been on for a long time,”’ sdid President Colnon, in ialking about his outing yesterday. “Mr. Bruceis an admirable host, and'we had a fine time of it. I never figured on seeing a whale hunt, but when it came our way ‘we took it in. My outing has done me gooa and I am now ready for another siege of hard work.”” Shot for $50. A shooting contest took place at Shell Mound on Sunday betwesn James Bargones and Har- vey Stewart for a purse of #50.

Keep your checks for us.* el Every person over five years of age in Storbech, Austris, is a chess-player. The game is tau ht in the schools, San Francisco in safety. Mrs. Crowe is still very delicate. In his report Captain Crowe says: ““We sailed from Swansea on April 9 and had an uneventful trip to the Horn. Then we caught it, and between June 1 and 13 Wwe were driven to the eastward of Staten Island three times with a succession of southwest gales. After rounding the Forn we had a succession of heavy gales to 50 south in the Pacitic. 'On June 2§ m; son was born, but what his name will be don’t know. My wife will settle that mat- ter when she 18 able to be about again.’’ The Muskoka is almost a new vessel and this is her first trip to San Francisco. She is rigged as a four-masted bark and pre- sented a very pretty appearance as she sailed in past the Fort vesterday. At that point she began taking in sail, and a few minutes later a redstack tug took hold of her and towed her to an anchoraze. The water-front thieves are outrivaling the landsmen. Within the last few days they have raided a barkentine and robbed an office. The barkentine Uncle John was lying at the foot of Third street, and Sanday night Captain Murchinson and Chief Officer Trainor went to bed in the cabin, never dreaming eof danger. The c-ptdn left his lamp burning low, but the mate put his out. During the night thieves broke in and stole everything movable in the cabin and every stiich of clothing belonging to the captain and mate. With the clothing went the sailors’ money and jewelry and everything of value they possessed. The robbers did not even spare the captain’s and mate's shoes and stockings, and when the two men arose yesterday morning they had to dress in oilskins and rubber boots in order to reach a clothing-store via the vessel’s agents. The office of the steamer Point Arena on Mission-street wharf was also entered. All that the burglars secured was a valise and camera belonging to J. B, Ford. Its value is not known as Mr. Ford has not been seen since he left his belongings in the office. . The late whaling cruise of the Queen has created a regular disturbance on the water front. Will’s office on Commercial street is watched day and night, but as the place is closed up and the late man- ager is now out in one of the boats after a whale, the creditors get little satisfaction. Hour after hour, hackmen, collectors for lithographers and printers, restaurant- men and whalers, and the fair typewriters, who dia half the work and all the corre- .spondence, come and go, but there is no sign of the absent manager. Goodall, Perkins & Co. are appealed to, but that firm repudiates all claims. Bruce, Bowne & Co. are asked for information, but M. Bowne says that all they had to do with the venture was the loaning of some bombguns and harpoons. *Qur interest in the venture was simply this,” said Edwin Goodall yesterday. “Mr. Wills came to us and said he had chartered the steamer Fearless and that thirty people were going in her at $35 a head. He asked us to send out the Queen and give him a percentage on each ticket sold. This we agreed to do, but when eople came to us and wanted their bills 81{ « we drew out, and that is all there is to the matter. We are not responsible for any bills contracted by Mr. Wills and will not pay them.’” Those who have claims against Wills in- sist that the hunt was advertised as “The Pacific Coast Stesmship Company’s Whal- ing Cruise,”” and say they will look to Goodall, Perkins & Co. for their money. The Pacific Mail Company’s steamer Acapulco arrived from Panama yesterday with twelve cabin and twenty-four steer- age passengers. Among the former was Ed Cramp, late engineer on the City of Panama, and John Rooney, late purser on the same vessel. Both gentlemen left the vessel at Panama, and their explanations of the change are as follows: Rooney says he came back on account of sickness, and Cramp says his six months’ contract was up and that he was tired of the job. Man- ager Schwerin says nothing. ‘The British tramp steamer Strathgarry will take the largest cargo of barley away that has ever left S8an Francisco in one bottom.

THE SALTING OF A MINE Francis Heurtevant Thinks He Was Swindled in a Placer Purchase. Some Gravel That Was Said to Pan Out $8000 Per Acre Proved Disappointing. Francis Heurtevant brought suit in the Superior Court yesterday against John D. C. Day and Theodore Begel and the Bank of California, charging the first two parties named with fraud in a mining transaction in which Heurtevant was the victim. Ac- cording to the allegations made Day and Begel sold to Heurtevant two tracts of land, one containing seventy acres and the other fifty-one acres, one known as the Hike Hill placer mine and the otner the Happy Home placer mine, for which he (Heurtevant) agreed to pay $50,000. The sum of $12,500 was put up and the balance was to be paid 1n installments of §9500 each, the next payment being due in Sep- tember. Day and Begel represented to Heurte- vant that they had mined two and a half acres of the property, and that it realized $8000 per acre. e deed was placed in escrow with the Bank of California, and Heurtevaut entered into possession aud put up improvements costing $11,000. He worked the mine and got less than $2000 per acre. He alleges a belief that the defendants, Day and Begel, took bullion from other mines and placed it in the property they offered for sale. o The plaintiff alleges that he has lost much by the transaction; he does not wisn to pay the amount due, but asks for judg- ment for the sum paid, or that $25,000 be fixed as the amount due from him for the property and no more. An injunction was asked for restraining the Bank of California from making any disposition_of the deed. [t was granted by Judee Troutt. The mines referred to are in Trinity County.

Dencunces Procrastination and Urges an Early Trial. WHEELER’S POINTS BAD. Demurs on Common Law Grounds Now Obsolete in Pleading. He MRS. CRAVEN TO TESTIFY SOON After a Hearing on Technical Points the Case Is Continued Until Friday. The many attorneys in the famous Fair will contest had another inning before Judge Slack yesterday. Messrs. Charles Wheeler, Russeil Wilson and Reuben H. Lloyd vigorously assaulted the position taken by ex-Judge Van R. Paterson, Judge Slack took the entire matter under advisement and Attorney Delmas made a stirring speech on the evils of procrasti- nation, after which the case was continued until 10 A M. Friday. The principal matter for hearing was Attorney Wheeler's demurrer to the fourth amended opposition of ex-Judge Paterson, but before 1t was taken up the taking of Mrs. Craven’s deposition was continued until next Monday. Before the arguments on demurrer took place the semi-annual account of the ad- ministrators of the estate was filed, agreed upon and allowed. It showed cash on hand, $382,288 45; receipts, $269,110 23; disbursements, $274,004 53, and a debit bal- ance of $4894 30 for the perlod. Cash on hand on December 31 was $386,983 70. The proceedings proper began when ex- Judge Paterson moved to strike out all of the principal parts of Attorney Wheeler's demurrer on the ground that they em- braced matters of defense rather than things that could be offered on demurrer. His speech on this was very brief, consist- ing chiefly of a bare statement of his posi- tion. Attorney Wheeler went into an elabor- ate argument to show that tne trust will, under which the minor heirs are inter- ested, ought to have been set forth in full; that the common law dem'urrer has not been narrowed by the code so as to ex- clude its scope in behalf of litigants de- siring to save expense and bring issues to a focus. He held that there is no section of the code that maintains the position {aken by Attorney Paterson. He cited a number of New York decisions and some old California interpretations to uphold his view. When he had finished Judge Slack forbade further argument and made an mmpromptu decision dissenting from the views of Attorney Wheeler and hold- ing that the common law views of plead- ing no longer hold good. 1 The main points of thedemurrer, asking | that the opposition be made more specifie, were then argued and taken under ad- visement. Attorney Delmas then arose and made a brief speech in deprecation of the in- excusable delay that has characterized the case, stating that the procrastination of eighteen months past has been a shame. " UThe issues are joined,” he said, “‘and why do not you gentlemen abolish the senseless regnemems of pleading, and meet on some broad and equitabie ground ? Our rights ought not to be eternaily post- poned by the conduct of ostensible friends. “I shall be ready within twenty-four hours to meet any proposition that arises, and I plead for expedition in this case. I want the case of Angus against Craven to be tried, and I affirm that every attorney here ought to abandon these refinements of pleading and get to work. Since you have all admitted the genuineness of the will offered, why do you not meet the whole world manfully and boldly on the proposition ?”’ Judge Slack and all the attorneys com- mended the spirit of the speech and said they would do all they could to carry it out, after which the matter went over un- til Tuesday. NEW HOME OF THE OCCIDENTALS In the Big Pavilion of the 0ld Woodward's Gardens. IT IS A GREAT ARENA. Fitted Up So As to’ Comfortably Seat Five Thousand People. OPENS NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT. ‘ Rig Joe McAuliffe and Sprigtly Jce Choynski Will Christen the Ring. Joe Choynski and Joe McAuliffe will meet on Friday night in the best appoint- ed arena controlled by any atnletic organ- ization in this country. Itis the old pa- vilion, formerly the main feature of the late Woodward’s Gardens. Wien that once wonderful private park, a landmark every bit as celebrated as the Cliff House is to-day, was disintegrated by an order of court to satisfy the heirs of the Woodward estate, who clamored for a distribution of the profits, the old pa- vilion fell to the possession of Mrs. Drury Melone, one of the daughters. Thatlady’s husband had the building wired for elec- trical lighting purposes, and by means of his own dynamo the builaing isillami- nated by two powerful arc lights and 2000 incandescent lights. This is in addition to seven “sunburst” gas chandeliers. The Occidental Athletic Club has leased the building for one year, and the place will be opened for the first time with the Choynski-McAuliffe eight-round go, the ten-round mill between Gus Herget and Spider Kelly and the six-round affair be- tween young Cuneoand Fowler next Fri- ay. ’}’ne new arena is second only to that of the New Orleans Athletic Club, which, however, has been closed for many months. Allowing for the eight-foot aisles throughout the place there is a seating capacity of nearly 5000, every seat being one of vantage. It isin this pavilion that the French people held their reunions cel- ebrating the fete of the 14th of July. On these occasions it was not unusual to see a gathering of 15,000 people within the precincts of the pavilion. The 24-foot ring is in the center of the hall, and in one corner, elevated beyond everybody else, the time-keepers have a stand next to the old clock used years ago when the California Athletic Club was the first and foremost in its line. This clock works so as to record every minute of fighting and strikes at the conclusion of every round like it strikes when the rouna 18 10 begin. Choynski has been doing most of his training in the basement of his home, but in the afternoon he usually puts in an hour or so at the Olympic Club. Joe has never been in better condition than he is in right now, He scales 165 pounds, but hopes to put on five pounds more. He is more active than he was when he and Cor- bett met, and in view of the fact that he has to go against such weight as McA - !iffe will show he wants to get into the ring as heavy as he possibly can. & McAuliffe will enter the ring at about 223 pounds. The big fellow, under the tutelage of hisold friend, Barney Farley, has been training most faithfully, but itis a hard thing for him to reduce. Eachday he takes on three sparring partners in succession besides & ten-mile run along the ocean beach. This exercise and an hour or two of handball playing is the full measure of his work. The next bout of importance, next Fri- day, will be for the light-weight cham- pionship of the coast between Gus Herget and Spider Kelly. Tne lads have $100 each up as a forfeit to enter the ring at 135 pounds, Herget has a good and clear ring record excepting his one defeat at the NEW TO-DAY.
