Will Be Fitted Out in Oakland Creek and Used in the Coast Trade. ARRIVAL OF THE AUSTRALIA The Officers State That There Is a Good Chance of Saving the Ship Gainsborough. The schooner Alliance arrived in tow of the tug Rescue from Eureka yesterday. She was built there by Bendixsen for the iumber trade, and as soon as she had dis- charged her cargo of shingles and shakes will go to Oakland and be turned intoa steam schooner. She is said to be a fast sailer, and her owners assert that she will be the fastes{ steam schooner on the coast. Nevertheless sne did not present a very handsome appearance yesterday as she was towed along the front by the Rescue. The Oceanic Steamship Company’s Australia arrived from Honolulu yestez- day after a fair-weather passage. The following were the cabin passengers: Hon. Ellis Mills, 8. Roth, 8. W. Wilcox, P.G. Camarinos, J. A. Rodrigues, C. 8. Desky, A.T. Wells and wife, Mrs. M. Lamberton, Brown and wife, Mrs. Wilder, F. mele, F. K. Harvey, R haeffer, Mrs E. Gidge and children, Mrs. W.

Ellis Mills is the United States Consul at Honolulu. He is here on a visit of pleasure and asserts that diplomatic matters have nothing at all to do with his trip. “Itis simply my annual vacation,” said he yesterday. *I want a rest and am going bome. There is ‘nothing new under the sun,’ they say, and that applies to Hawaii. Things are dull there and they tell me they are dull here, ergo things are dull all over the world. Hawaii is a great country to live in, but was there ever an American who did not long for home? If you want to put it that way I was homesick and here [ am.” P. G. Camarinos, a prominent merchant of donolulu and brother of D. G. Cam- arino, the ex-Grecian Consul, who is now convalescing at the French Hospital, was another passenger. Mr. Camarinos (P. G.) is on_the sick iist also and has come to San Francisce to recuperate. 8. W. Wil- cux also came up. For twenty years he was Sheriff of the Hawaiian group. Among the steerage passengers was Cap- tain John Good Jr. He was court- martialed in Honolulu and dismissed from the army. He says he can prove his innocence, but was not given a fair chance to do so. As the Australia steamed out of Hono- lulu the wreckers were nard at work on the British ship Gainsborough that wenton the reef a month ago. -A donkey engine was placed on the forward deck and it was hard at work pumping out the water. A towboat was alongside and there was a great strainon the hawsers. The officers on the Australia seemed to think that the vessel woula be got oif and that as all the after holds were water tight the donkey engine would be able to keep the forehold clear until the vessel was docked. Accord- ing to them the chances of getting the vessel off are good. The State tug Governor Markham took out quite a party of excursionists yester- day afternoon. All were the guests of Chief Wharfinger Root and Assistant Chief Wharfinger Scott. The trip was given in honor of Mr. Root’s iriend B. 8. Gibson of New York, brother of W. F. Gibson, ex-assistant general manager of the Market-street cable system. Among t e guests were Miss Gibson, Miss Lizzie Rowland, Bert Chapman, A. W. Johnson, Chief Root’s wife and family, Mr. Scott's wife and family and many others, All the points of interest in the bay were vis- ited and a most enjoyable afternoon was spent. A dog chasing a diver was the principal attraction at Meiggs wharf yesterday. The animal seemecfto be a cross between a water spaniel and _a collie and was & splendid swimmer. He went after tne bird in & businesslike manner and chased it flévm up against the pilot-boat Gracie 8. hen the dog came to close quarters the diver would peck at him, and when pushed would dive. The dog would pad- dle around until it came up again and then make a fresb start. Finally the diver started out to sea and the dog after it. Then everybody yelled, “Save the dog.”” J. Robinson and Tommy Crowle: got into a boat, and aiter a bard pull caught the dog and pulled him aboard. He was too tired to fight, but when the beach was reached he jumped ashore, barked his thanks to the boatmen and then started up Powell street on the run. The steam schooner Navarro arrived from chprnon Island yesterday with 300 tons of guano aboard. All the men who were left there last year by the Oceanic Phosphate Company came up and another lot of laborers will take their place. Those who came up on the Na- varro say they had a dreary time of it, but that it was not worse than they ex- pected. The Oceanic Phosphate Company has not met with great success in working the Tug Rescue. After Discharging the Alliance Will Go to Oakland Creek and Be Tutned the deposits. The Navarro has brought up the largest cargo mined so far. The little steamer Golden Gate got in from Prince Williams Sound yesterday. Sbe was formerly a fishing steamer, but was bought by the Pacific Steam Whaling Company to be used as a tender for the canneries. She did the work well. No later news than what has already been re- ceived came down on her. TRYING FENDERS. Tests Made on the Electric Line on West Mission Street Yesterday. - Fourteen devices for preventing loss of life by contact with electric-cars were tried yesterday on West Mission street in the presence of Superintendent Vining of the Market-street system and a committes from the Board of Supervisors. The tests were made in accordance with a resolution of the board passed some time ago requiring the electric-cars to be pro- vided with life-saving devices. All the tests were unsatisfactory from the fact that the cars, fourteen in number, were run atsuch a high rate of speed that the wood and iron dummy supposed to repre- sent a human being was struck with suffl- cient force to have caused death had the victim been of flesh and blood. The inventors all declared against the fairness of the tests, but the Supervisors will look the matter over at a special meeting and try tofind a device that will be less aestructive than actual contact with the cars. Among those whose inventions received a so-called test was John Cratg, who re- sides on the southwest corner of Twenty- fourth and Chattanooga streets. He says his fender was not given a fair *‘show,” as the railroad people would not permit him to lower it to an elevation just above the level of the track. Otherinventors register the same kind of complaint. —————— UNCLE SAM IN CHARGE. Vessels Must Submit Bills of Health to Dr. Rosenau. As the result of an order received from Washington yesterday there will prob- ably be a clash between the State and Federal authorities over the matter of quarantine regulations governing vessels reaching this port from foreign countries. The instructions referred to read as fol- lows: ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 10, 1896. Collector Jonn H. Wise: Hereafter no vessel requiring quarantine certificate unver the treasury regulations will be permitted to enter the port of San Francisco without the proper quarantine certiticate of the National Quarantine Officer. W, E. CUrTIS, Acting Secretary. Tast July, when the position of Na- tional Quarantine Officer was established at this port, it was thought that consid- erable friction would result. This was averted, however, by Dr. Rosenau giving way to Dr. Chalmers, the State officer, the latter claiming supreme jurisdiction over all vessels entering this port. It is now believed in customs circles SHE WAS A BLOOMER MAN The Bike “Red Rover” in the Wheelmen's Parade. It Was a Low Rakish Schooner of the Spanish Main Variety. A PIRATE THE RIDER, T00. H: Was Captain H. Hartman, Late of the Chilean Navy, in Natty Disguise. One of the prize-winners in the recent wheelman’s parade was a Mrs. Hartman, who received a toilet set for the best lady’s decorated bike. It was not only well decorated, but oddly rigged up as well, ana represented a schooner under full sail. Nota trim and jaunty yacht nor a merchant coaster with a rough éxterior and an honest heart within. It wasa low, rakish craft of the Spanish Main variety. One of the kind that once lay crouching in some reedy lagoon in wait for some lum- bering treasure-ship homeward bound to fair Castile, and the ingots of gold she carried were the booty of the buccaneers. That bike was indeed a pirate, and the black flag at her masthead needed no X ray to aiscern the skall and crossbones thereon. The lady who steered the Captain Kidd craft was dressed in the regulation bloomer togs of the peaceful shore, but on her breast she bore the skeleton insignia of her vessel's dreadful calling. In and out among the wheels of a more peaceful pro- fession she cruised, first on the wind, then braced sharp up, and again running iree before the wind with sheets slacked well out, wing and wing. When the other bikes saw the Red Rover—that was her nom de marine— bearing down upon them they wheeled out of the way, and escaped with their crewds unthrown and their tires unpunc- tured. It was well they did so, for that outfit was piratical from machine to rider. She, Captain Hartman in Bloomers, and His Fantastically Decorated Wheel. that the Government means to assume control over all quarantine matters aris. ing at thls port. Dr. Rosenau gaveit out yesterday that he would follow the in- structions to the letter, which means that no vessel can enter at this port without first submitting its papers to him. Unless Dr. Chalmers is content to play “second fiddle,” so to speak, it is more &ln prob- able that the courts will pe asked to de- cide which power is supreme—State or Federal. —————— OLp Dutch, English and Japanese oaks, plain mat gilts, curly redwood, Spanish cedar, raw chestnuts, russet and green d gold are the l\‘r‘n.l'lelz things in picture frames at Sanborn & 3 bt ———— Death of George C.

Hartman' formerly in the Chilean naval service. He was in charge of a torpedo station during the last revolution in that country. He also acted in the capacity of a spy against the Government forces and a num- ber of times went through great perils in disguise. Consequently, he is an adept as. an 1mpersonator, especially in the part of the female. In a spirit of ‘adventure and humor the Captain donned the bloomers and aboard of his schooner-bike was a lady and a graceful, though piratical, one. Last evening Captain Hartman received his prize from the fair hands of Miss (Trilby) Crane at the close of the perform- ance at the Columbia and the Red Rover went out of commission. The other twenty-nine prizes won at the cyecl parade for good roads were also presented at the Columbia. — Eagle Kepublicans.

The Fourteenth Amendment In- voked for the Wearers of Stars. THEY ASK FOR JURY TRIAL Questions Involved Will Be Brought Before Both State and Federal Tribunals. Attorney Alfred Clarke is about ready to file twenty-five damage suits against the Police Commissioners, The complaints are all by policemen who have been dis- charged during the past six years, and the claim is that, pursuing the line of the Gunst decision, the Police Commissioners have no right to discharge policemen, theit business being lirited to hiring them and making regulations for their government. “The cases will be brought in the State courts and in the United States tribunals simultaneously,” said Attorney Clarke yesterday, *'so as to get the widest possi- ble range and opportunity for the men who have been unfortunate enough to lose their positions.” The material averments of the com- plaints are all alike, being based on the constitution of the United States. After alleging in each case that the discharged policeman was a citizen, ‘‘pursuing the calling, livelihood and occupation of a police officer,” the complaints continue as follows: That said John Doe had thus secured a use- ful, honorable and luerative employment and an assured means of livelihood (conditional on Z0od behayior) and a fair prospect of & pension in his old age, all of which was of great yalue to said John 'Doe, which livelihood and pen- sion were protected by his citizenship and the said fourteenth article of the United States constitution against arbitrary spoliation by defendants herein named. That his deportment in his said office was uaiformly good; and defendants, acting in the name and under color of the authority of this State, on the — day of —, 189—, wrongfuily and arbitrarily removed said John Doe from his said office, in violation of said fourteenth article of the United States constitution, with- out due process of law, under the authority of Hill’s case, 7 Cal., 102. That said case has been relegated to oblivion by the fourteenth article of the United States constitution. The claim of the plaintiffs is that the only cases against the view held by them were decided either before the adoption of tne fourteenth amendment, as in the Hills case, or that ‘‘the later decisions went off on points without reference to the four- teenth amendment, the attention of the court not having been called to the bear- m% of the amendment.” 'he section of the amendment relied on says that *‘no State shall deprive any per- son of life, liberty or property, without due process of law.”” There are a number of decisions that “a man’s right to follow his vocation is a part of his liberty,” which no man can deprive him of without trial by jury, etc., which is a part of the ‘‘due precess of law’’ meant by the amendment. Policcmen are much interested in the case, for if the law is broken down there can be no more star-chamber trials and no more loss of situation without trials in the courts. CORRIVEAU CASE ENDED. Heirs of the Estate Accept $3500 for Their Claims on the Storage Company. The Corriveau case was settled yesterday by the payment to the estate of $3500 by Swanberg, Westphal, the Cold Storage Company and others of the defendants in the different suits brought by the attor- neys for the Corriveau heirs. It was originally alleged that C. O. Swan- berg and H. W.Westphal swindled Corriv- eau out of $36,000, and a warrant for Swan- berg’s arrest, charging him witn forgery, was issued. When the compromise was effected the criminal charge was with- drawn, it being said that it was made under a misapprehension and was not fouuded on fact. Reuben H. Lloyd, who represented the defendants in the matter, effected the compromise, which was. signed in Judge Coffey’s court yesterday afternoon, J. D. Sullivan representing Public Administra- tor Freese, L. M. Hoefler the sole legatee, Mme. Boutine, and A. Comte the absent heirs. ——— Running Out the Chinese. Statistics recently compiled by Deputy La- bor Commissioner Green show that the num- ber of Chinese employed in the various lines of manufacture in this City are rapidly de- creasing. The largest reduction has been in the factories where overalls are made, a 1ine which & few years ago was monopolized by Chinese. White girls are now .employed by the Chinese bosses, and they have_ taken the laces of at least 1100-Chinese. In the shoe usiness there are fewer Chinese than in former years.

Since winning in the Supreme Court the right to have the Palmer and Buckner electors go on the ticket as*‘National Demo- crat” the sound-money Democratic organ- ization has turned more actively to its campaign work, which is bemng mainly confined to the distribution of sound- money literature, which the league has in large quantities. Under the direction of Secretary Elliott McAllister 200,000 copies of campaign documents will early this week be sent to 25,000 addresses in San Francisco. Poster portraits of Palmer and Buckner are also being distributed. The league has no definite anticipations about what the Palmer and Buckner vote will be. Its motive is wholly the defeat of Bryan and Bryanism, and the leaders will be pleased at a small vote if the true-blue Democrats assist in Bryan’s defeat by voting for McKinley. ————————— PROFESSORS CHALLENGED.
