She Signaled the Pilot-Boat Bonita and Sent the Men Aboard Her in the Steamer’s Boat. STOWAWAYS WHO WERE CAPTURED They Were on the Peter Jebsen Bound for the Sound. CAUGHT IN THE ACT. Put Aboard the Pilot-Boat Bonita and Landed in San Francisco. A POOR ARCTIC SHOWING. None of the Whalers Have Made Remunerative Catches This Season. Two disappointed and disheartened sail- ors were walking the water front yester- day. They stowed away on the collier Peter Jebsen, but were discovered beiore the vessel crossed the bar and were put aboard the pilot-boat Bonita before the whistling buoy was reached. The men expected to beat their way to British Columbia. There was nothing do- ing iz San Francisco and the chances were good for a job under a protective Government. Being short of funds they stowed away in the Jebsen, but were caught before the vessel reached the neu- tral grounds. According to the story told by the stowaways they went aboard as coal-passers, For two days and nights they suffered, but when the steamer sailed they thought all their trouble was over. They made a sad mistake, however, as the Jebsen, contrary to expectations, was run inshore and the runaways were put aboard the Bonita. The pilot-boat was sent back to Ban Francisco and all arrived yesterday morning. The chances are that no one will_pe arrested, asthe owners of the Jebsen do not care about prosecuting the case. Charles Weeks left here for Alaska two seasous ago. Last year he did well at Cooks Inlet, and this year sent word to his | friends here that he was coming home. When paying a visit to some friends he got on thin ice and sank into the icy waters of the Arctic. His friends watched his struggles, but conld iend no assistance. He sank out of sight in a few minutes, and the body was never recovered. Weeks was well known in water-front circles in San Francisco. News from the Arctic by the Peking, via Yokohama, gives the Kate and Ann a catch of 600 sealskins and 14 sea-otter skins. The schooner was to remain on the Japan coast for a coup'e of weeksand then come home. The bark Gayhead sent home 2242 pounds of whalebone, but the season was not a success. Last June she left Dutch Harbor for the Arctic, and if the B{ospecu are good she will winter at erschel Island. If not she will return to San Francisco. In any event provisions and the replenishing of the slopchest will go up on the next tender. The British shlp Ravenscourt holds the record for quick work. She was loaded in sixteen hours and is now in the stream ready to sail for Europe. Captain McLean takes the whole performance as a matter of course, but there are a dozen ship- masters in port who are willing to bet that he will never again duplicate the perform- ance. In respect to the whalers, a private let- ter states: ““The Mermaid gave it up and left Port Clarence for Unalaska. No whales in sight. The Rosario got through and the Horatio followed her fifteen days later. The Hidalgo gotin with & record of two whales, and the Narwhal and Thrasher with one each. Whales are scarce, but all the ships are doing well ‘with trade bone. ‘‘Ben Rose, who stowed away on the Horatio, died and was buriea at sea. He did good work after the captain had rated him, but the climate was a;ninst him.” The whale caught off Point Sur has been released. The people” of Bausalito could not stand the odor, so the mammal had to be released. 99,950 being credited to A. K. Dubrow, trustee. Trunks Moved 25 Cents. Commercial Transfer Co., 43 Sutter street.

He will take his ship to sea next week. W. A. Thornley and his bear got back from Stockton yesterday. Mr, Thornley is of the opinion that his native son is worth at least $1000, Captain Stewart Menzies is once more in the ring. The popular stevedore has been on the sick list for over a month, but now he is on_his legs again and his many | friends are glad to see him around. A WARRANT FOR 25 CENTS, R. J. Jackson, a Saloon-Keeper, Wants a Customer Punished. The sum of 25 cents was deemed suffi- cient for the issuance of a bench warrant from Police Court No. 3. R. J. Jackson, who applied for the instrumert, is a saloon-keeper at 664 Broderick stree! claimed that John Garnier bought a glass of whisky and a glass of beer in his place last Wednesday, and took them outside the saloon but never returned. Jackson thought that the iquor and glasses were worth a quarter of a doliar. ‘W.

A Casz From Sacramento Which Bears Upon the Tenure of Office Bill. Some doubt seems stills to exist in cer- tain quarters asto the effect of the deci- sion in the recently decided casp of' Hale against McGettigan upon the tenure of office by city and county officers outside of San Francisco. The answer of the Hon. Attorney-General to a question by the Mayor of Sacramento will, therefore, be of interest: EaX FrRANCISCO, Sept. 2, 1896. C. H. Hubbard Esq., Mayor of Sacramento, Sacramento, Cal.—DEAR STR: 1 am in receipt of your favor of the 27th ult., in which you re- quest my opinion “as to whetker or not the City Justice of the Peace of the city of Bac- ramento is entitled to hold office for the term of two or four years.” in the case of P Ke vs. Sands, 102 Cal., 12, it was held where the sppointment of the City Justice of Oakland was under consideration that “‘the officcof a Justice of the Peace is & creation of the constitution. Such an officer is elected at the general State election &nd quali- fies under the general State law. The charter did not creaie the office of Justice of the Peace, and under the authority of Ex Parte Ah You, 82 839, and the People against Toal, 85 Cal., 333, could not have done so if its framers and the Legislature had so attempied.” (See opinion page 17.) From this it follows that the City Justice of the Peace of the city of Sacramento must be elected in the same manner and at _the same time as the law prescribes for other Justices of thgePe‘nce l_og S?cr;memu County. ction 58 of the county government act of 1893 (Statutes of 1893, 366) defines a Justice of the Peace as a township officer, and section 60 of the same act (Statutes of 1893, 867) pro- vides that “all elective county and towuship officers, except otherwise provided for in this act, shall ve elected atl the general election to be held in November, 1895, and every four z‘e‘;;a llslerellter unless otherwise herein pro- In the recent case of Hale vs. McGettigan, decided by the Supreme Court on :g:nn”%. 1896, which is not yet reported, it was held that this provision 1s constitutional. I sm, therefore, of the opinson that the City Justice of the Peace of Sacramento is entitled to hold office for the term ot four years. Respectfully, W. F.

Tongs Contest in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin. Louis Windmuller, 8 wealthy merchant and gold Democrat of New York, arrived here Thursday and is at the Palace. He is an able speaker and writer on financial questions, and has letters from General Clarkson to C. M. Shortridge, John D. Spreckels and other Republicans here. Mr. Windmuller has an article in the current number of Harper's Weekly on *“What a Democrat Expects From Major McKinley,” in which he warmly com- mends the Republican candidate for President on his stand on the financial question. He will have another article on the money question in the October issue of the North American Review. “T have especially turned my attention to this subject,” he said last night, “be- cause it interests me greatly, and I am with McKinley heart and soul. As a gold Democrat I do not want to see Mr. Bryan elected. “About Bryan’s speeches, well, they are simply laughing at them. Those crowds don’t mean anything.

Could Not Determine if the Socialists Were Guilty of Obstructing the Sldewalk. Police Court 2 was crowded with SBocial- ists yesterday during the trial of one of their comrades for obstructing the street. Much interest was taken in the proceed- ings by the Socialist fraternity, but the trial had a disappointing conclusion. Charles D. Sunflower was on trial, and T. F. Burns, A. Delaroche, Manuel Bat- tana and Leon Brown, his fellow-defenad- ants, declared they would abide by the de- cision in his case. The defendant: were arrested August 29, opposite Odd Fellows’ Hall, for obstructing the sidewalk. They demanded and got a jury trial yesterday. Policeman Whalen, D. Cohen and Sun- flower testified as to the facts of the arrest, and the defense maintained that the meeting was a publicone. The jury spent an hour in trying to arrive at a verdict, but gave it up for a bad job, and were dis- charged. They would not agree, although the defense wanted a conviction, so that the case could be carried to the Supreme Court. This the Judge tried to teil the jury without actually instructing to find a verdict of guilty. "At last lie dismissed them and stated he would hear the case again next Monday. A motion then will be made to dismiss. e MRS. HOYT'S ANSWER. Says Her Dressmaker Cheated Her Out of Over Two Thousand Dollars. Lucy W.

THE TAX RATE MAY BE REDUCED Broderick Says the Raise Applies to the Entire City. MENERNEY’S OPINION The New Tax Law Held to Have Repealed the Consolida- tion Act. LEVY OF LESS THAN A DOLLAR No Difference in the Amount to Be Paid by the Property-Owner, However. If Auditor Broderick’s calculations are not amiss the result of the action of the State Board of Equalization in raising San Francisco 20 per cent will be that the rate for municipal purposes will be re- duced to about 94.5 centr on the $100, pro- vided, of course, that the Board of Super- visors does not take it upon itself to change materially the apprepriations as they have already been decided on. Mr. Broderick differs with Colonel Tay- lor, chairman of the Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors, in his ideas about the raise. The latter believes that the raise should apply only to that pro- portion of the total valuation that is neces- sary to furnish the State tax, while the latter looks upon the raise as applying to the entire City valuation. He bases his belief on the following opinion that was furnished him by Attor- ney Garret McEnerney, who has gone care- fully into the matter: ‘The action of the State Board of Equalization raising our assessment roll 20 per cent raises it for municlgll purposes as well as State pur- poses. In 1886 the Supreme Court decided (Baldwin vs. Eilis, 68 Cal., 495) that the State Board of Equelization has power to increase or lower the assessment roll of a county so as to affect taxes for county purposes. The court points out in this decision that the rule isof no practical consequence, for the reason that, as the assessed value increases, the rate de- creases. In September, 1891, the State board increased San Francisco 30 per cent. At that time and under the old law the Supervisors had fixed the rate at 103. The consolidetion act at that time required the act to be tixed in June. If the 30 per cent was to be added for municipal urposes it would coliect from the taxpayers 59 ,000 more than was needed for municipal purposes. Judge McKinstry’s opinion was obtained upon the matter. He adyised that San Fran- cisco was governed by the consolidation act, and as it required the local tax to be fixed be- fore the State board would equalize the roll, an increase should not be allowed to affect the roll for local purposes. Otherwise, 30 percent more than was required would be collected for municipal purposes. He furthermore showed that the case of Baldwin against Ellis was founded upon a section of the Political Code which required the counties to fix their rate after the State board equalized the roli, and consequently the counties could never be compelled by the action of the State poard to collect moré than they required, because the Supervisors couid reduce the tax rate in the same proportion that the State board increased tne assessment roll. Acting upon Judge Me- Kinstry’s advice two valuations were made that year—one for municipal purposes and the other for State purposes, Mlie new tax luw of ‘1895 (statutes 1805, p 8) has repealed the consolidation act on tax- ation and now San Francisco is governed by the Political Code. Like all the counties of the State our rate is now fixed on the third Monday of September, which is aiter the State board equalizes the roll. So thatnow we know the amount of the roll as fixed by the State board before our Supervisors fix the rate for municipal ?urposes‘ We are therefore in the same position that Los Angeles County was when the Supreme Court decided that the in- crease by the State board increases the roll for county purposes. But 8s above pointed out the increase s not add anything to the NEW TO-DAY. If a package of tea is short weight, expect it to cheat in quality also. Schilling’s Best is true in every respect.

Under the state of affairs mapped out in this opinion the levy will be about945 cents, and is compufed on the following figures. The total amount to be raised is 5,538,810, of which in round numbers $3,950,000 must be from taxes, the remain~ g §1,650,000 being from other sources.
