Only Twenty - Seven Whales Were Taken by the Entire Fleet So Far. NUMBERS DIED FROM EXPOSURE The Second Mate of the Balaena Shot by His Superior Officer During a Ducl. The first news from the whaling fleet in the Arctic arrived yesterday and it is not at all reassuring. Itisa story of deaths, desertions, fighting scrapes, a duel, mutiny, and to crown all, a poor catch. The entire fleet only took twenty-gseven whales, and in consequence everybody connected with the fleet is disconsolate. As a forerunner the tender Jeanie got in from the Arctic with her pumps going. Ever since leaving Herschell Island she has been leaking more or less, but during the iast few days of the trip the pumps had to be kent going continuously. Im- mediately upon her arrival she was taken to the Arctic Oil Works and the work of discharging her was at once began, She brought down 50,000 pounds of bone for the Pacific Steam Whaline Company and 9800 pounds for James McKenna. The carch of the fleet up to the middle of August was as follows: Balaena. Grampus. . Mary D. H Newport Jessie H. Freen 1 1 8 3 1 1 3| Northern Light oy b The vessels reported as “light,” are_the Andrew Hicks, Belveaere, Cape Horn Pigeon, Charles W. Morgan, Hidalgo (\sllppu:ed to be lost), Horatio, John and Winthrop, Lydia, Mermaid, Navarch, Orca, Rosario and William Bayhes, The latter vessel is on her way to San Fran- cisco. She raninto an ice floe in the Sea of Okhotsk and sprang a leak. Captain McInnis wanted to proceed to the Arcric, but the crew refused to go. A mutiny was imminent, and the master gave in. The chancesare that when the Baylies reaches port there will be a number of arrests. After the Jeanie docked Captain Mason went at once to the office of the Pacific Steam Whaling Company. He waus elos- eted for a time with General Manager Griffiths, but when at leisure made the following statement: “From wbat I heard, last winter was the most severe ever experienced in the Are- tic and the summer was correspondingly cold. The men suffered terribly and de- eertions from the fleet at the mouth of tue McKenzie River were irequent. There was a general exodus at one time and five men out of the crowd got away. Tiey bave not been heard from since. The others were brought up when a shower of bullets came after them from the pursuing officers, One of the fugitives was wounded, but, I think, aiterward recovered. **Among those who died during the win- ter were: William Mosher, second mate of the bark John and Winthrop; Harry Williams, cabin boy of the bark Wanderer, and James Leary, second mate of the steamer Belvedere. “There was a regular old-fashioned shooting scrape on ibe steamer Balsena during the winter. Chief Officer H. P. Bowen and_ Second Mate Frank Jones | quarreled. It was patched up for a time, | but finally the trouble broke out again and | the men came to biows. Then a duel on | the ice, so they say, was arranged and Jones was mortally ‘wounded, Hedied a few hours later and was buried at Herschell Island. Bowen is under arrest and will be breught to San Francisco for trial, “The Baiaena and Grampus wintered in ranklin Bay and the former reported four deaths and the latter two deaths. { Who the men were I could not learn, I am sorry to say, Both ships got to Herschell Isiand August 29 and it was their inten- tion to reiurn about September 1, The Grampus, however, may ramain in the Arctic for another season. All in all, it has been a disastrous season for the fieet.” Private advices received by General Manager Griffiths of the Pacific Steam Whating Company state that the Fearless, Newport, Mary D. Hume, Jessie H. Free- man, Wanderer and Grampus will proba- bly winter off the mouth of the McKenzie river this year. Last winter there were sixteen vesscls altovether in the ice, but next season there will be only a half dozen to chase the whales when the ice breaks u P Captain H. H. Bodfish of the steamer Newport came down on the Jeanie. His vessel wintered in the Arctic last season, hut he has no more news to tell than Cap- tamn Mason. In fact Caplain Mason’sviews is based on information given him by Captain Bodfish. The changes necessitated by Captain Bodfish's return to San Fran- cisco were as fol.ows: Captain George B. Leavitt of the Mary D. Hume took charge of the Newpori, and Captain Haggerty, late of the Triton (ihe 1riion was nipped in the ice and went down), took the Hume. There should be some lively developments when the vessels that wintered in the Arctic arrive here next month. WANTED IN SAN JOSE Charged Liobert Dougherty, a Boy, With Stealing a Bi- cycle, Robert Dougherty, 15 years of age, was arrested on Fiith avenue yesterday after- noon and taken to the City Prison, where he was booked en route to San Jose. The arresting officer was Deputy Cun- stable F. Prevost of Sau Jose, and he says that the boy is wanted for stealing a bi- eycle which he hired about three weeks ago. 1t1s supposed that he rode the “bike’’ to this City and sold it. Dougherty denies the charge. He admits being in San Jose about three weeks ago and says be was with a named Law- rence, who hired a bicycie, {n; he has not seen Lawrence since, The boy has been working among horses at the Bay District Tract. He belongs at Los Angeles and left home recently because his mother was not able to support him.

Permanent Organization Effected and Committees Are Appointed. SOME AMENDMENTS PROPOSED Only Eight Hours to Constitute a Day’s Work—Protection to Workingmen. A convention of the union labor organ- izatione of San Francisco assc nbled yes- terday morning at the Labor Bureau Association Hall, 91514 Market street. It was called by the District Council of Carpenters’ and Joiners' Union of America for the purpose of proposing and amend- ing labor laws, such as eight-hourlaws, lien laws, life and limb laws, etc., and the consideration of labor laws proposed by the State Labor Bureau, that recommenda- tions or amendments as may be beneficial to workingmen might be made. The convention was called to order at 10:30 A. . by F. M. Thompson, president of the District Council, who exvplained the purposes and objects of the meeting. He suggested that temporary organization be effected, and this was dane by the selec- tion of James Rose as temporary chair- man and Guy Lathrop as s cretary. L. M. Danforth, H, C. Hincken and R. Lennart were appointed a committee on credentials, which reported the following delegates entitled co seats: Bakers’ Union No. 24—Charles Roseberg, George Stein, A. Grassman.

The following committees were ap- pointed by the chair: Permanent organization—A. Park, W. Mo- Arthur, L, M. Danforth, J. M. Lawless, Ed Rosenberg, C. F. Buckley, Johh McCartney, J. Hymer, J. Roberts, T. O, McArthur, solutions—T. O. MeArthur, Guy Lathrop, 0. Grassman, Hy Mever, W. de Geer, ¥. Busse, Adams, C. E. Hawkes, J. Hill, Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald was elected a member ex-officio of every com- mittee, This was done for the reason that Mr. Fitzgerald has the power to sum- mon people before the committees in the course 0! investigations necessary for es- tablishine foundations for labor laws. James Rose, F. M. Thompson and John McCartney were elected as a committea to invite thé Labor Commissicners to the convention. At the opening of the afternoon session James Rose was elected permanent presi- dent, C. E. Hawkes vice-president, Guy Lathrop secretary, J. Walter treasurer, James Adams sergeant-at-arms. The committee on organization reported that it recommended the new organization be called the California Labor Convention, the purpose of which shall be to propose and amend labor laws and further the en- actment of such laws. Itshall consist of duly accredited deiegates from all bona- fide trade and labor organizations of the State of California. The basis of representation shall be three de fgteu from each organization, :‘nd the initial fee $3 from each organiza- on. . The officers of the convention shall con. sist of a president, vice-president, secre- tary, treasurer, sergeant-at-arms; also committees on resolutions, credentials and finance. The president reported that the com- mittee selected to wait on the Labor Com- missioner had seen him during the noon recess, but he could not attend owing to other vrevious engagements. Mr, iqu.- gerald said he would attend the next ses- s1on of the convention, The following letter from the Los An- geles County Council of Labor was read: Los ANGELES, Oct. 6, 1! The Hon. E. L. Fitzgerald, m&c‘fi.". sioner—DEAR SIR: The president of the couneil turned your letter over 1o me for to attend to it ll;”v.l . 1 lnv-I b«n‘lml::u'e‘l Sueg .until to-day. I am instruc s8; t can make good use of 5000 copies ol’lho. ': to which you refer. We are pledging sll legislative candidates here in support of certain laws which we be- lieve necessary for us, and we will gladly co- operate with San Francisco Trades Counecil and all other organized bodies wllhlvm to thatend. Thopein a few days tosend you a copy of these laws. Very resvectfully yours, JOSEPH LLIS. Delegate McArthur of the committee on resolutions stated that his committee had met during recess and concluded that, as its work consisted of looking into labor bills, to request the convention to submit all resolutions before Thursday night, when the committee will meet and organ- ize permanently at 1159 Mission street. Henry Meyer moved that the proposed labor laws be discussed. This aroused sowe controversy, several delegates hold- ing that the documents should be submit- ted to the committee on resolutions. It was eventually decided to discuss the pro- posed laws informally and submit them with recommendations to that committee. The first amendment provides for eight hours’ labor in each day. Delegate Furu- seth claimed it should have the addition “only eight hours.” The convention in- dorsed the general idea and referred the bill to the committee on resolutions for careful revision and reconstruction. Sec- tion 8245 of the Political Code provides that eicht hours shall constitute a day’s work: The statute is not definite and i capable of circumvention by contractors who pay by the hour, and is therefore in many instances inoperative, r quiring an amendment to render its enforcement ef- fective. No. 2, an act to provide for the proper sanitary eondition of bakeries and the preservation of the health of employes therein, calls for a uniform law requiring cleanliness and to insure purity in the manufactured products of this industry. Some of the delegutes declared that it was class legsiation and consequently uncon- stitutional. Furuseth contended it was framed in the interest of preserving the health of the community, and suggested that a bakeries inspector be appointed from the ranks of journeymen bakers. Delegate Grassman of the Bakers’ Union said the Board of Health had appointed a bakeshop 1nspector a month ago, but he has done nothing since. The representa- tives of that union told the convention that “rotten eggs, rancid butter and rot- ten lard” are used in pastry bakeries, and that *‘eats, rats and all Xinds of animals” live in the bakeshops. The amendment was referred to the committee on resoluiions with a recom- mendation to eliminate all reference 1n it to the Labor Commissioner. ‘The third consideration is an act to pro- hibit the awarding of contracts for public work to persons having judgments stand- in - against them for nonpayment of labor. Referred to the committes. It is in= tended to prohibit Boards of Supervisors, Common Counciis, Commissions, etc., awarding contracts to persons who have previousiy defrauded laborers of their wages. This practice is carried on to a large extent in San Francisco. There being no lien on public work, the laborer is placed atthe mercy of his employer, with many disastrous results. An act providing for a bond for the pro- tection of laborers upon public works was referred. Sections 5 and 6, regarding the State Labor Bureaun, were passed until next Sunday, when the Labor Commissioner will be present. An ect fixinf the minimum rate of com- pensation for labor at $2 per day on public works was referred with a recommenda- tion that the qualifying word ‘‘unskilled” be introduced. An act to add to the Political Code of the State of California two new sections, to be numb:red sections 32461¢ and 824714 respectively, regulating the hours of labor of persons emplo; in bakeries, cussed at length,” As the limit in itis ten hours the convention did not regard it with favor and referred it, with the under- standing that the convention looked on it with disfavor as a whole. The ninth act is one to enforce the lnompt payment of wages of laborers in awful money of the United States. It was referred after the delegates had com- mented on a section which appeared to favor the **truck” system. The convention adjourned until next Sunday morning. . GARROTED AND ROBBED, John Carroll; a Laborer, Relieved of His Watch and Money. Two Men Supposed to Have Foliowed Him From a Dive to Merchant and Montgomery Streets. John Carroll, a laborer employed at Smith’s Camp, Five-Mile House, San Bruno road, was garroted and robbed by two men at Montgomery and Merchant streets at an early hour yesterday morn- ing. He came into the city to haveagood time and sampled the liquor in several of the dives on the Barbary Coast, He had lenty of money wit: him and was lavish n his expenditure in “treating’’ the nsual habitues of those resorts, Between 2 and 3 o'clock he found hime self on Montgomery street and was walk- ing in the direction of Market street with the intention of getting back to the camp when, as he was erpssing Merchant street, a man came up behind him and graobed him by the throat with both hands, The robber jerked Carroli’s head back and Carroll, who is a powerful fellow, strusgled fiercely to get out of his grasp. Just then another man came up and struck Carroll on the head with some instroment, knocking him senseless. ‘When he recovered his senses he found that his watch and $40in coin had been taken out of his pockets. He was dazed from the blows on his head, and while struggling to get to his feet a policeman appeared. Carroll told him he had been beaten and robbed apd the patrol wagon was summoned, Carroll was taken to the Receiving Empm‘lI where three wounds in bis scalp were stitched and dressed by Drs. Filzgibbon and Maher, Owing to the darkness Carroll was un- able to give a description of the two rob- bers, but the police think they are fre- quenters of some of the dives and bad fol- lowed Carroll until he got to Montgomery and Merchant streets, which is unsually deserted in the early hours of the morn- ing, The police are working upon that theory, . dis- | SAUSALITD 1§ DISCONSOLATE The Fleet of Ships That Were Tied Up There Are Gone. \ Only the Steamer Oregon and the Yachts Lurline and Rover Are Left. ALL THE VESSELS CHARTERED. Return of the Coast Whalers—The Venture Was a Failure and Trouble Is Brewing. Of all the fleet of deep-water ships that, crowded Richardsons Bay a few weeks ago, the only one left is the steamer Ore- gon, Even the yachts have gone, and were 1t not for the fact that the Lurline was towed in by:the State tug Markbam and the Rover remained at anchor because the drawbridge at Tiburon was not opened in order to allow the yachts to go into win- ter quarters, the bay would bave prac- tically been deserted, As it is, the Ore- gon looms up in sotitary grandeur, and those who travel on the ferry-boats look in vain for the fieet of sailing ships that added to the picturesqueness of the scene, and put dollars in the pockets of the Sau- salito tradesmen. ‘Whaling on the coast has received a set- back. It was thought that one of the mammals broughtin and placed on exhibi- tion wou!d pay a handsome dividend. The steamer Queen went out with an ex- cursion party and a ‘whaling crew, but failed to catch a whale. The venture was a failure, and there is now considerable liquidation over the bills contracted by Manager Wills. A few weeks ago Wills got up a second expe dition and interestea T, P. H. White- law, Captain Savin, F. Christiansen, W. Ford and W. Brindelson in the scheme. They secured boats and gll the necessary paraphernalia and went to Halfmoon Bay. For three weeks they camped on the beach, and day and night men were kept on the outlook. All they sighted were a “fin-back’” and two “hump-backs.”” The former was no good, and the latter were only seen at sundown. terrible time getting here. At times the wind would take command, and then again they would be in a dead ca!m and would bave to labor at the oars. When they arrived here last Friday night every- body was tired and half-starved. Thsy were around town yesteraay looking woe- pezone. The men don't know where to apply for their pay and they cannot find Wills, In the meantime Whitelaw & Co. want to know where they are going to ‘‘get off.” The- chances are that the whole matter will be ventilated in the courts. In fact one suit based on the tirst excursion has been decided in favor of Goodall, Perkins & Co., the owners of the Queen. 5 The ears of Captain Rae of the British tramp steamer City of Dublin should be tingling. He was called hard names on ‘change yesterday in Boglish, German, French, Swedish, Danish and almost every known tongue. Every owner of a coaster that happened to be downtown oined in the chorus, and had the skipper appened along about that time he would have enjoyed a bad quarter of an hour. The City of Dublin is from Yokohama, and at 6 A. M. on the 10th inst. she passed a derelict vessel in latitude 38 deg. 5 min. north, longitude 127 deg. 32 min. west. The hull ‘was about 125 feet long and was artly capsized. There was.no sign of Els aboard. i Now what vessel was it? For the last few days the sea outside has been like a Provisions began | to run short and the crew insisted oncom » ing back to San Francisco. They hada | miil pond. Captain Rae passed within hali a mile of the wreck and it would not have taken him balf an hour to have sieamed around it and found out the name and made sure there was no one aboard, Even the thoughtof salvage n entered his head, so be steamed along and a few Lours later entered port and made his re- port. Now every shipowner and shipping man in qon is wondering what vessel the derelict is. The Spreckels tug Vigilant broke her eylinder head last Saturday afternoon. 'his was unfortunate as she was to have gone out on a fishing excursion to the Farallones. Superintendeny Hawley, how- ever, mlnutud 1o spare the Fearless so Qaptain Clem Randall went out on her and took all the passengers the law al- lowed. It was a little rough outside and some of the excursionists were seasick, but nevertheless many a d string of rock- cod was brought in. The Ida and Nettie Low also went out but owing to getting 100 far north they had to put into Bolinas. REV. MR, ADAMS ACCEPTS. He Has Resigned His Pastorate in St. Louis, At the morning service yesterday at the First Congregational Church the congre- gation was pleased to learn of the accept- ance of their call issued to Rev. C. Adams. Rev. Dr. Baldwin, who occupied the lmlpu, announced the fact by reading the ollowing telegram: 8. Louis, Oct. 11, 1 have resigned my pastorate here to accept your call. C. Apans. There was no demonstration on receipt of the intelligence, but the whole congre- -lufion rose and joined in singing the dox- olozy. PETALUMA DAY 10 SHNE ARRIVES Annual Convention of the W. C. T. U. Begins To-Day. After Seventeen Years the Organ- ization Returns to Its Birthplace. PROGRAMME FOR THE EVENT It Is Expected That Mrs. Sturtevant- Peet Will Be Re-siected to the Presidency. The State Convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union will begin at Petaluma to-day. Holding the con- vention at Petaluma this year means much, for it was there in September, 1879, that the first gun of the campaixzn in Cali- fornia was fired when organization of six unions took place. The programme, now full prepared, promises to be rich in variety and inspir- ing to the delegates who will assemble in force. The State execut ive committee will mee at W.OC. T. U. headquarters, 132 McAl- lister street, at 11:30 A.. a. to-day, and at 3:30 o’clock the San Francisco delega- tion will leave for Petaluma. Mrs. H. E. Brown, the corresponding secretary, states that her report will show great advance- meént in general work, but that for the last year the most active endeavor has been “made along the line of equal suf- frage, mothers’ meetings, scientilic tem- perance and Demorest contest work. Mrs. Henrietta Skelton, the National organizer, has done much effective work in the last two or three months. In north- ern counties she has succeeded in forming twenty unions, with a membership of 5i5 persons. It is expected that Mrs. B. Sturtevant- Peet will be re-elected at the coming con- vention for the State presidency. She has filled her high position most satisfactorily, and it is hoped by many delegates that she can be prevailed upon to hold her office for the ensuing year. The programme conlains many items of especial interest both as regards the la- dies’ work and literary features. This evening there will be an address of welcome, to which Mrs. H. E. Brown, the corresponding secretary, will respond. To-morrow evening the president will deiiver her annual address, in which she will review the past and project thefutnre year's efforts. Rev. J. W. Webb wiil de- liver an address, entitled *“Help These Women.” Wednesday evening Rev. Anna Shaw will give one of her spirited lectures and Thursdey evening there will be a Demorest medal contest for the grand goid medal, and contestants from several counties will be present.
