SINKING OF A RIVER STEAMER. A Snag in the Sacramento Made a Hole in the Alvira and She Went Down. The British cruiser Comus arrived. in port from Esquimalt yesterday. At first it was the intention to remain here just long enough to get the mail, and Captain Dyke thought he would make another start for the south at1e »m. The shore party went back to the cruiser immedi- ately alter a visit had been paid to the British consulate. When the hour for de- parture arrived something had turned up that caused a change in the plans, and the | warship will not get away before this morning. As'the cruiser steamed past Al- catraz she saluted the American flag and the fort replied. | __The officers of the Comus are: Captain, | H. H. Dyke; lieutenants. Luard, Watts, Jones, Wills, Pike and Raike; lieutenant of marines, H. J. Crocker; chaplain, Rev. T. Kane, B.A.; staff surgeon, Corcoran; paymaster, T. W. Mortimer; firstengiheer, J.

Since then the disablea ship has not been heard from. Should the Comus pick her up, both ves- | sels will make for Callao. | Another vessel that is among the miss- | ing is the Chilean bark Lake Leman. Bhe | was in collision with the Italian bark | Lazzero on September 16, and has not | since been heard from. The suthorities at Victoria, B. C., have sent the light- house boat Quadra out to look for the | missing vessel at the request of the | Chilean Consul at Port Townsend. The Lazzero reached port acouple of weeks | ago. | "The California_Transportation Com- | pany’s chariered steamer Alvira 1s | sunk in Steamboat Slough. B8he was making her way . down to the main channel when a snag was struck and in a few minutes the vessel sank in shallow water. The engine-room and hold were flcoded, but the cargo of produce on the upper deck did not suffer. It will be unloaded into another of the company’s boats and will reach San Fran- cisco to-day. Captain Nelson, one of 'the managers of the company, went up last night to the scene of the wreck 'and took | one of Whitelaw’s pumps along with him. It is his intention to build a box arouna | the hole and then pump the vessel out. Should this prove a success the Alvira | will b2 towed to San Francisco for repairs. | The Alvira will be remembered as the | steamer which Mayor Davie empioyed in -his fight against the Southern Pacific fora 5-cent fare to Oakland. The crew of the sealing schooner Luisa | D are jubilant over the showing made by | their vessel. She beat the entire fleet from Yokobama to the Bering Sea, and on her way here passed the Alton, Carlotta G. Cox, Rattler, Otto and other smart sailers in Oonamak Pass. The Luisa D is safe in port, but the other vessels have not yet | reported. The hunters on the Luisa D are com- plaining over the way things were han- {dled in Bering Sea by the patrol fleet. They say American Yessels were com- peiled to hunt with spears while the Brit- | 1shers used guns. ‘‘On several occasions | when we were out we could see the guns | of the other boats going,” said Harry Ker- | lie yesterday, ‘“but we bad to depend on | spears. It was generally rough and blow- ing hard, 80 you can imagine what a time we had in getting any seals. Occasionally we ran across a seal that had been shot and we " secured him, but all around the catch was poor. Many an English boat was seized by the American cutters and turned over to the British gunboats, but as soon as that ceremony was over the Britishers released the sealers. Some cf | them went to Victorid, B. C., and gave | themselves up, but many others did not. “We are all wondering about the schooner Edward A. Webster.' On April | 23 she ana the Herman were in company. | It was blowing a heavy gale from the | northwest at the time, but the Herman l weathered it and reached port. The Web- ster has not been heard from since. Per- haps some of the incoming fleet will bring news of her.” All ihe bunters on the smart little schooner are satisfied to make another venture next season. They did remark- ably well considering the time they were out, but, nevertheless, did not pay ex- penses. Still they think skins will be dear on account of the poor catch of the entire | fleet, and that will mean more money for | the hunters. A. C.Johnson, the boatman, picked up a yawl about sixteen feet long yesterday. It is painted biue on the bottom, and has the appearance of a pleasure boat. It has probably got.adrift from some yacht. Johnson can be found at 107 Jackson street. Purser Thomas Smith of the steamer Mariposa was discussing the matter of losing a day and gaining a day in going to and coming from Australia. That is one of the questions he has to answer every time the vessel crosses the 180th meridian. In order to be ready ata moment’s notice he has preparea the following and now knows it by heart: “The common day, often ealled the civil day, lasts from midnight to mianignt. . “In order that the civil day may have the same number or datethe world around the leading nations have agreed to use the date of the days as they begin at the 180th meridian,” For instance, a purser traveling west- ward from Greenwich would have to put back his time four minutes for every de- gree of longitude he traveled, and by the time he reached the 180th degree of longi- tude this would amount to twelve hours, which his time would be behind that of Greenwich. If he continued right on by the time he reached Greenwich again he would be exsctly twenty-four hours (or one day) behind Greenwich time. ““To ad just this difference it is the custom to drop one day entirely on crossing the 180th meridian. Thus if you cross that line on say April 1, which we will pre- sume is Monday, the next day will be Wednesday, April 8, Tuesday the 2d being omitted entirely. This pl the traveler twelve hours, or half a day, ahead of Greenwich time and as he still continues to put nis time back four minuates for each degree he travels westward by the time he again reaches Greenwich fhe will find his time exactly correct, the twelve hours he was ahead after crossing the 180th merid- The British Cruiser Comus Arrived From Esquimalt Yesterday and Will Sail Again Tb-Day. On Her Way South She Will Search for the Missing Steamer Linlithgow. When Passing Alcatraz the Comus Saluted the American Flag and the Fort Replied. ian having been thu smadeup by putting his time back four minutes for every de- gree he traveled. “Reversely a passenger traveling east- ward puts his time forward four minutes for every degree traveled and thus will on reaching the 180th meridian be twelve hours ahead of Greenwich time. Instead of dropping a day he adds a day to the calendar, and presuming he crosses the 180th meridian on Monday, April 1, the following day will again be Mouday, April 1, this case being exactly the reverse of the former.” Uncle Sam has promulgated a new list of punishments for use in the navy. The circular arrived here last week. Murder is the only crime which carries the death penalty. An officer using profane lan- uage may be sentenced 1o lose two num- fim—mu is he must remain in his present position until two juniors have been passed over his head. A sailor gets thirty days in irons on bread and water. An officer who lies can be dismissed, a sailor dishonorably discharged. An officer of the deck found drunk loses ten numbers, while a sailor gets six months; an officer using abusive language will be publicly reprimanded, while a sailor will get six months' impris- onment, Any enlisted man who at rollcall shall answer fora shipmate may get six months. Any officer guilty of maltreating his men will be dismissed, Smuggling liquor is punishable with a six months’ imprison- ment and dishonorable discharge, while an officer found gambling will be dis- missea and Jack wiil get six months and be dishonorably discharged. Going to sleep on the lookout means a vear's imprisonment and discharge, whiie ¢“irreyerant or unbecoming beneavior dur- ing divine service” means the loss of three numbers for an officer and three months for Jack. Mutiny means ten years, and dueling means dismissal to an officer and a year's imprisonment for a sailor. Thus it goes on through every de- linquency for which a sailor can be pun- ished, and every one of the punishments are just as heavy as those quoted. SHE WAS JEALOUS. Annle Conroy Quarrels With Her Loyer and Swallows a Dose of Poison. Annie Conroy, 23 years of age, swal- lowed a dose of poison yesterday after- noon, and in all probability it will prove fatal. The girl and her sister Jennie lived with Mrs, Ferral, 532 Jessie street. All the par- ties interested are reticent as to the rea- son of the girl’s action. Her friends say she did 1t as a “‘josh,” but it is sus pected that jealousy was the real cause. She had been using a mixture of chloral and camphor as a face wash and it was this mixture that she swallowed. She was eick in bed yesterday and about 2 o'clock in the afternoon J. C. 8t. John, assistant general manager of the Medical and Den- tal Proteciive Association, and her sister were in the room. She asked for the mix- ture and a wine glass and filled the glass about full. Before St. John and her sister could realize what she was to do she laughingly said, “I am going to take this,” and swallowed it. She soon became un- conscious and Dr. Fitch was summoned. He advised that she should be taken to the Receiving Hospital and the ambu- lance was sent for. er chances of recov- ery are doubtful, St. John said he was a friend of the family and took an interest in the girls, as heknew their father as a miner in Redding. He finally admitted that the girl had taken the poison through jealousy after she had quarreled with her lover. ‘ The girl did not.regain consciousness and died about 8 o’clock last night. Her body was taken to an undertaking estab- lishment by consent of the Coroner, but an inquest will be held. ——————— BORROW oOn sealskins, silks and jewels at Uncle Harrls', 16 Grant avenue. THEATERS 10 GIRDLE THE WORLD Circuit of Music Halls From New York to This * City. Also Embraces an English and Australian Combine in the Deal, GUSTAV WALTER'S MOVE, Sufficient Options Secured and Bno.ngh Capital in Sight to Insure Success. Gustay Walter, proprietor of the Or- pheum, is approaching the culmination of a grand scheme which he has bad in view and in preparation for some time. This is nothing less than the establish- mentof a chain of theaters under one management from New York to the Pa- cific Coast, this theatrical chain being part of a system of which the two ends will be, respectively, in England and Austraha. Mr. Walter has put'in much time making the arrangements and carrying on the ne- gotiations necessary and preliminary to perfecting this extensive and somewhat Napoleonic move. The information is given out at the Or- pheum that Mr. Walter has negotiations pending for one of two theaters in New York, that he has options upon places of amusement in Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis, and that he has entered into pre- liminary negotiations for a theater in Denver, The alliance necessary to the success of an English-Australian eircuit has already been perfected upon the basis of an exchange of stock of the Orpheum circuit with the genmeral company, the name of which is not furnished, at the head of thé English part of the deal. “Mr. W alter has made a deal at Los Angeles for control. The real advantage of this, as it is ex- plained, is that a company can be booked for the English circult, the American cir- cuit and the Australian circuit and make an uninterrupted progress from one end of the line to the other, without long skips and without being compelled to make long stands at any one place to recoup for the large expenses en route which would have been incurred under the old and more diffuse system. This measure of economy and long engagements will en- able the management to give a rotation of first-class companies and to put on suc- ceeding attractions every week. Mr. Walter will not finally ciose deals in the East until he can go there and per- sonally attend to the matter. The option that he has secured leaves no doubt rn his mind that the arrangements can be closed up with very little delay. This will be the largest circuit upon earth when it is finally / Miss Mary The young ladies of the Suffrage Association will give a concert this evening for the benefit of the campaign fund.

Odilon Lefebvre, a Lovelorn Youth, Makes Two Attempts by Gas Asphyxiation. Odilon Lefebvre, a collector for the Im- perial Tea Company, living with his mother at 978 Howard street, twice at- tempted within twenty-four hours to end his life by gas asphyxiation. The cause was disappointment in love. Sunday night he was discovered in his room in an unconscious condition with the gas turned on. A physician was sum- moned, and after working on him for some time he was brought back to con- sciousness. Yesterday affernoon he was again found in his room in a similar con- dition, This time the ambulance was sum- moned and he was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where he soon drew out of danger. Odilon is 23 years of age. Some months ago he met and fell in love with May Kelly, a pretty girl 16 years of age. May was for a time flattered by his attentions, but his mother forbade him keepinz com- nnx with her as she was too young, and Ee’ ad not sufficient income to kKeep a wife. He planned a scheme to hire a tug an be married at sea, but the scheme fel through, and recently May refused to keep company with him any longer. Lile was not worth the living witbout May, so when his mother went to the country on Saturday for a few days he determined to seek consolation in death. He has not yet succeeded. THEY TORE UP FENCES, A Gang of Tough Young Hood- lums Returning From Harbor View. An O01d-Time Sunday Picnic Crowd of Roughs Break the Union- Street Car Windows. The residents along the line of Union street, near Steiner, are cherishing a fond hope that the picnic season will come to an early olose. There is not a Sunday that bas passed in the last two months that they have not been made the victims of vandal hoodlums returning from Har- bor View Park or the Germania Gardens, the men filled with whisky and a desire to make themselves particularly obnoxious, Sunday ' night, hours after the better element had returned home from the Austrian pienie, a crowd of roughs, about twelve in number, borrded the cars in- ward-bound and, in their usual insulting way, intimidated and browbeat the other passengers and refused to pay their fares, This necessitated the joint action of the gripman and conductor armed with an iron_hook and a crowbar to eject the rowdies. They were not put off, however, without breaking the car windows and the gang would then adjourn to celebrate at the nearest saloon.” Quarrels among them- selves as they became drunker were more frequent, but these fisticuffs were forgot- ten as soon as the next car hove in sight, when a recurrence of the “fun’” was in order, Without paying & cent for trans- portation the crowd, in this manner, reached Steiner and Union streets and began drinking lil n. gy this time they had become tired of being put off the cars and decided to arm themselves against the carmen. One van- dal, worse than the others, led them to the picket fence surrounding the Pixley lot and in short order each tough had secured a sharpened board, leaving wide gaps in the fence. Not content with this, they rivped up a seven-step stairway and landed it on the car-tracks, In the meantime the first two cars that had been visited by the ruffians had tele- “the violin., - L phoned for police assistance, which was promptly furnished. As the club-wield- ers came in sight there was a general scampering of ‘hoodlums, who dropped their pickets and mixed in the crowd homeward bo;md, annoying them only with their profanity. e King’s Daughters Entertain.

An Electric Car and Brewery Cart Demolished in Collision. ACCOUNT OF AN EYE-WITNESS. F. Meeks Accuses the Motorman of Gross Carelessness in Exceeding the Proper Speed. At8:20 A, M. yesterday a Kearny-street electric-car crashed into a St. Louis Brewery wagon on Broadway, between Dupont street and Montgomery avenue, with terrific force, resulting in severe in- jury to five persons. The names of the injured are: Herman Behlman, driver for the 8t. Louis Brewery, badly sprained back and lacerated wound on the forehead; Ferdinand Doranthal, employe of the 8t. Lomis Brewery, severe contusions and trifling wound on leg; Mrs. Helvogt, 1502 Stockton street, badly wrenched shoulder and suffering from hysteria; Mary, Mrs. Helvogt’'s daughter, aged 11, several insignificant bruises; Joseph Dominique, 605 Broadway, badly bruised about body and head. Dominique was the most badly injured of all, but will recover unless internal in- juries «develop. He is now at the Krench kowlm and late last night was reported to be doing well. Taking the manner of the accident into consideration it seems miraculous that every person on the car was notkilled out- right. From the statement of Federico eeks, a merchant located at 213 Front sireet, an eye-witness, it appears that the electric-car, in charge of motorman 907 and conductor 944, was running along Broadway on a downgrade at a high rate of speed.” Directly in front wasa St. Louis Brewery wagon proceeding in the same direction, with Behlman, the driver, and Doranthal upon the seat. As the car gained rapidly upon the wagon it suddenly seemed to occur to the motorman that he must stop immediately to escape a collision. Accordingly he broke the circuit and applied the brake with all his power, at the same time sounding the bell once. Before he couid sound it again the shock came. With an awful crash the car struck the rear of the wagon and in & twinkling both were completely wrecked. With such force did the car sirike the wagon that the latter was carried fifty feet, throwing the borses down and passing over them, while wagon, beer barrels and broken harness formed a mass of confusion. The front platform of the car was smashed to splinters, Glass flew in every direction. Even the running gear was damaged to a considerable extent. The two front seats were also badly knocked out of shape. ‘When the collision came the motorman was thrown heavily against the lever of his brake, but escaped without injury. The conductor was standing between the two seats on the rear platform, and was forcibly propelled between the doorposts. He also escaped injury. Mrs. Helvogt made clear that she was sitting on one of the back seats of the car and was hurled against_the rail when the car struck the wagon. Her little daughter escaped injury by being thrown against the mother. Of the other passengers the majority remained in the vicinity of the accident for only a few minutes. There were probably ten persons on the car. Behlman and Doranthal claim to haye heard only once the clang of the bell. They remembered nothing after that but a confused and indescribable sense of being bauled through the air until they recovered consciousness in the drugstore of Dr. Artigues, situated on the corner, where they were carried. Immediately after the casualty the wrecked wagon was cleared away and an- other car was coupled to the broken one, which was taken to the carhouse for re- pairs. Meeks, says that he was the only eye- witness of the affair, and that no police- men appeared on the scene until oneé of the bystanders blew a whistle, Officer Hyman, it is understood, claims to have seen the collision. Meeks further states that when the offi- cers appeared he demanded that the motorman be arrested for violating the law relating to the speed of streetcars, but that no action was taken by these offi- cials. He stated, with much indignation, last night that the motorman had been transferred to car 1110 by the tompany, and that so far as he knew there bad been no investigation of his conduct. He threatens to swear out a warrant for the motorman’s arrest. THE FIFTH ARTILLERY. Troops Will Go to New York vis Ogden, Omaha and Ohicago, Officers and enlisted men of the Fifth Artillery will go from San Francisco to New York via Central Pacific to Ogden, Union Pacific to Omaha and Chicago and Northwestern to Chicago. From Chicago to New York the troops will go over the Nickel Plate and West S8hore lines, Colonel J. G. C. Lee, depot quartermas- ter, received proposals from the trans- rtation compani ast Saturday d nished the computing of bids yesterday. Tne Government will not pay out money directly for the service between Sun Fran- cisco and Omaha. The amount charged by the Central Pacitic and Union Pacific will be placed to the credit of these roads on their account with the Government. The Chicago and Northwestern having re- ceived Government subsidy in the shape of a land grant must place a portion of the amount charged for transporting the soldiers to the road’s account with tne United States. The Nickel Plate and West Shore get full payment in cash for carrying the troops. The 1irst battalion of the regiment, in charge of Lieutenant-Colonel Sineclair, will leave here on the 13th inst.

The following citizens will address the meeting upon the merits of the new organic law: F. W. Dohrmann, James D. Phelan, M. H. Hecht, Henry N. Clement, A. P. Van Duzer and J. Richard Freud.
