Lieutenant Butt of the Hartley Says Uncle Sam Never Pays Salvage. | The river steamers City of Stockton and | San Lorenzo were in collision. In conse- quence, the latter boat is on the beach at Gost Island and the Citv of Stockton has a slightly damaged nose. Tbe accident happened early yestexday The Ban Lorenzo was docked ton was getting in from Stockton with a crowd of Valley-road excusionists aboard. While attempting to make a landing the | tide rip canght her stern, swinging the voat around ana beaaed her directly for | the San Lorenzo. The engines were put | | full specd asstern, but, nevertheless, the momentum was too great to be overcome. | The San Lorenzo received a hard, glancing | carried away. In a few minutes the Lorenzo began to leak and the tug Annie | was called upon to pump her out. The lesk gained, and, seeing that his vessel | was in danger of sinking in the slip, the | captain started for Gost Isiand, with the | tug alongside pumping out all the time, The frelght was moved forward in order to get the stern out of water as much as possible and thus redunce the leak. Finally | the vessel was beached on the island, and after being made partie ly water-tight will | be brought over and put on the drydock for repairs., No timbers were broken, but the hull was badly strained. 1 The excursionists on the Stockton took the matter very coolly and there was not | even a showing of excitement among the | lady passengers when the two boats came | together- | _Lieutenant Butt of the revenue-cutter i Hartley a2nd Captain Brown, superin- | tendent of the Btate tugs and dredgers, | are baving quite a lively time of it all to themselves. It is all over a bronze | veller, and the guestion of State and {eral rights is involved. Last July the | Hartley lost her propeller at or near sec- tion 2 of the seawall. The boat has been a veritable white elephant on the hands | of the Government ior years and at first it was decided to condemn her. Then the Secretary of the Treasury thou-hi better ed- | put in commission. A few days agu dredger N was at work at section 2 and picked up the Hartley's lost propelier. As | soon as Lieutenant Buit beard of it he de- | manded the property. Captam Redmond | retused to give it up and referred the rev- | enue officer to Superintendent Brown. The latter aiso refused to g:ve up the pro- peller unless the men on the dredger were peid for their trouble. Then Lieutenant | Butt explained that Uncle Sam had a right to take his property wherever he found it, and Brown answered, “All righi; bring on your gunboat.” The lieuten- | ant retired 1n an argry mood and laid the | matter before the Ubnited States District { Attorney. The chances are that ina lew | days an order of court will be issued com- manding Captzin Redmond to deliver up the article in dispute. The sealing schooner Alton is making an unusuelly Jong passage from the bunt- ing grounds. She was in company with the Luisa D and Rattler in Oonamak Pass, but aithcugh both schooners have been in for nearly a fortnight there is no word of the Alton. She was formerly a tug, but the machinery wes taken out and she was turned into a sailing vessel, While in | Alaskan waters Cuptain Wester had to { run her on the beach at Atu and place an | iron band around her stern in order to | keep the rudder from dropping out. In consequence the Alton is not being | pushed and she may not get in for several days. Captain Fred Nelson of the sealing schooner Raitler is about to make a trip to his o:d home in Denmark. He bas been in this country for years and now he has resolved on a trip to his old stamping { ground. Captain Nelson is one of the best- | liked men in the sezling fleet. He is be- | loved by every hunter in the country and | sailors run over each other in their efforts | to get aboard any vessel be goes in com- mand of. The day he leaves S8an ¥ran- | cisco the men intend gathering at the fer- ries and giving him an ovation. The chances are that the British ship Bay of Beneal, which arrived oere in bal- | last from Valparaiso, will go to Portland, Or., to load wheat. Her captain yesteraay refused an offer of 35 shillings to load flour, as be thought a rising market for wheat would insure bim a higher rate. | The British ship Largiemore bas had a nnigue experience. Bhe took in ballast at Rio de Javeiro and wert to Adelaide, [ Australia, There wes nothing doing | there, so she came on to San Francisco. | Sbe still has the same ballast in her and | is still unchartered. The ship Two Brothers arrived yester- | day from Pyramid Harbor, Alaska. On | Auguost 31 Robert Whiie, one of the sail- | ors, fell overboard and was drowned. It | was blowing balf a gale at the time. The following particulars about Captain ! W. 0. Hayden, whose death was reported | in yesterday’s CarL, will be read with in- | terest by his many friends: | Captain William O. Hayden was born in Ausutic Cosst before coming West. On his arrival he was for & short time on the bark Vernon, irom Sen Francisco to Port Gamble, | putin T863 went back to Maine and built tié ar 1865 prison door which was to piay en important partin the contemplated escs Rainier. She was lsunched in June, 865, and Captain Hayden took her to New York. where she was loaded, and then sailed ior Bsn Francisco. After making two trips porth with the bark he returned to New York in 1867 to Dring the tug Sol Thomas around. He tnen took the bark Buena Visia 10 the Sound, leaving her at Port Gamble to again command the bark Rainier, where he re- meined & year or two. He left the Rainfer to take the historic stesmer Goliah from San Franclsco to the Sound and spent the next yesr on her introducing her to the waters which were to be her future home. He then rejoined the Rainier, making two trips to Scouth Americe snd one to San Francisco, where he Jeft her to take the ship Arkwright. After two voyages with her in the British Co- iumbis cosl ‘trade, and ene from Nanaimo to Acspuico in the same c, he left her at Victoria, where he was laid up fourteen months with Mexican fever.

It was while on this vessel that he made & fifteen months’ trip around the world, spending nine years on ner altogether. While Heyden was captain of Two Brotbers, her cabins were robbed of ail their valuables, inclading his private papers.

HIBERNIANS’ PICNIC.| Grand Reunion at Harbor View Sunday for the Benefit of Pennsylvania Sufferers. There will be a grand reunion and picnic of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Board of Erin, at Harbor View Sunday next. All the lodges in San Francisco and Ala- meda will participate. As the event is given in the cause of charity—for the relief of the widows and orphans left without providers by the Pitston (Pa.) coal mines disaster—it 1s believed that the | Hibernians and their friends will enter into the spirit of the occasion with enthu- siasm. So a very large number of people may be expected in Harbor View Sunday afternoon. There was a meeting Monday nightofthe committee of arrangements at Hibernian Hzell, 120 Ninth street. The programme of games and exercises was preparad and a band engaged. In aa on to the games there will be several amusing features, and prizes are to be freely given. Thomas B. O'Brien, the Repblican can- didate for Congress, will deliver an ad- dress; at least that was the wish of the Hi- bernians last night, and he will receive an invitation to be present and talk to the crowds that will fill the Pavilion. The committee of arrangements con- sists of Thomas McGinniss, State dele- gate; Thomas Norton, State secretary; | James McMenomy, State treasurer; P. Lyons, country delezate; Ed Healey, county secretary; J.J. Keating, Daniel Sweeney, Thomass Logan, Charles Whelan, Jobn Bhes, P. H. Madden. The floor committee, which will nave charge of the ball, consists of Daniel Bweeney, Charles Churkwin, James Gil- lispie, Myles Kelly and Frank McCafferty. SWEDISH NATIONAL FETE, Musical and Literary Exercises Last Night in Odd Fel- lows’ Hall The Festival and Bizaar Will Be Held Every Evening During This Week. Last eventg in Odd Fellows' Hall began & grand festival and bazaar under the auspices and for the bene- fit of the Swedish Lutheran Church, lo- cated on Mission street, between Eighth and Ninth, Dr. E. Nelanaer pastor. Elaborate preparations have been going on for some time, and every detail of this affair has been carefully attended toin view of making it a success.

JOHEN DAGGETT'S MEN AT WORK Mint Employes Given Permission to Shout for Rainey’s Nominees. Phelan Is Waning. Btrife is brewing in the Democratic ranks in San Francisco over the charter question. The anti-charter sentiment has developed unexpected vitality among the Bnckleyites during the past two weeks. It wes generally understood that the Buck- | ley wing of the Democratic party would refuse to work for the charter, even from the moment that ttat instrument was fin- ished by its framers, but it remained for Joseph I. Dimona, Buckley nominee for Mayor, to crystallize and give voice to that feeling. Since Mr. Dimond has openly announced that he is opposed to the char- ter there has been a rallyiug of the forces to support him in that matter. James D. Phelan, the Junta nominee for Mayor, will be the sufferer on account of this not altogether unexpected issue 1n the local campaign, Carefu! students of the political situation in San Francisco agree that the charter discussion is bound to cut a big figure in the result of the election. No person of sagacity can possibly shut his eyes to this fact. Since Mr. Phelan, in his own per- sonality, seeks to repre sent the spirit and force of the proposed new charter, any op- position that materializes against the in- strument must necessarily and inevitably be directed against him. For this reason it is conceded that already there have been many desertions from the ranks of Mr. Phelan, and it is held that these votes will go to Mr. Dimond. Altogether it is a pretty fight— such a fight as the Democrats of San Francisco seem te like. The benefit which the peo- ple will reap from. this contest will be the election of C. L. Taylor, the Republican nominee for Mayor, who is known to be capable of guiding our municipal ship aright, whether the]charter be adopted or not. Ed Lanigan, who holds down a desk in the office of the Coliector of Internal Revenue curing the brief periods heis able to spare from political affairs, has not improved his populnnl.:uring the past few months. Mr. igan was conspicuous on the floor of the Junta Democratic convention, and it was quite loudly asserted by those whom he did not indorse that he had Jaid himself liable to dismissal from the Federal brigade under the operation of the eivil service rules. Nothing of consequence came of this growl, however, but there is serious dan- er ahead for Mr. Lanigan if he persists n his present political tactics for the ad- vancement of the interests of his personal represontatives on the Junta ticket, Mr. Lanigan is conceded to be the dic- tator of three nominations for Super visors, namely, Haskins, SBheehan and Britt. As r. Lanigan gave these men their places on the ticket it is supposed that he considers him- self able to control their votes if the; should happen to be elected. In this he may be mistaken, as the gentlemen are credited with being of more than ordinary inteliigence and independence. Up to the present, however, tbey have done nothigg to undeceive Mr. i an in his assump- tion that he is to act as a steering com- mittee for them in municipal legisiation. and be is work_inf for them day and night asif his political salvation depended on their success. Sam Rainey, in _plrtnmhii with John Daggett of the United States Mint, is said 10 own the remainder of the Junta super- visorial ticket, so when you hear em- ployes of the Mint shouting for Rainey’s tes you may understand that their ©of cvil service rules, prohibiting offensive partisanship, will meet with the approval of their superior. ohn Feeny, who is running for State Senator in the Twenty-fiftn Senatorial District, is another of Mr. Daggett's ad- herents. Whether elected or not he is sure of a place in the Mint, so long as Mr. D-{:m has the say. iney is just nhxnunt deveting the greater portion of time and attention to mapping out the campaign for his su- pervisorial candidates. After he The Pnflh will understand Mn‘g'l ar anxiety for the election of his upervisors when it is ex Fire Com: chosen by the next Boara of Supervisors, and if ?dnq-honlfllnuhhmbhmt direction he might as well retire from the p:tg'a-l arena so far as ‘“‘practical” re- L are them. D. A. Macdonald, the nominee of the Buckley Democratic convention, is cutting into the vote of W. F. Ambrose in an alarming way. Mr. Ambrose has the honor of holding a nomination from the Junta Democrats, but probably he now wishes he hadn’t accepted the place. George P. Wetmore will poll a very light vote and Daniel L. Farnsworth, though a worthy gentleman, is so handicapped by ihe Kelly nomination conferred on him that he cannot expect to make any kind of a show. Thenatural result will be that George W. Eider, the regniar Republican nominee, who will poll the full vote of his party, will be triumphantly elected, as he ought to be, since he will save from $50,- 000 to $100,000 a year to the taxpavers of the City by stopping fraudulent street work, as he has done during his term of office as expert for the Sireet Committee of the Supervisors. 2 Governo: Budd will speak at Metropoli- tan Temple in this City next Seturday night, at which time a joint meeting of Democratic students from Berkeley and Palo Alto wiil be held. YOUNG MEN’S GAMES. A Grand Day of Athletic Sports on Saturday Next. The Young Men’s Christian Association will bold the second apnual stated meet- ing of athletes on Saturday next at the Presidio grounds, and an excellent day’s sport is promised all those who will be in attendance. The programme consists of the following events: 100-yard dash, mile run, throwing 12-pound hammer, high jump, pole vault and two-mile cham- pionship bicycle race, for which a mag- nificent cup is offered. The junior events will consist of 75-yard dash, bali-mile run, putting 12-pound shot and broad jump. Athletes from the main associa- tion of the State will compete for prizes. The entrants are in first-class condition, end the officers of the ass ion who will_have charge of the meeting look for- ward to the breaking of records on this day. SHE WANTED A PISTOL Mrs. Maria Fay Creates a Scene in Justice Kerrigan's Court. Begged for Something With Which to Shoot a Witness on the Stand, Mrs. Maria Fay created a sensation in Justice Kerrigan’s court yesterday by de- manding a pistol with which to shoot a witness in a case in which she is the de- fendant. No one seeming willing to aid her in her sanguinary designs, she became hysterical, and when the man who had aroused her ire left the witness-stand she flew at him and he only escaped by a rapid exit into the corridor. The plaintiff in the case is one McFad- den, who is the assignee of Louis Helbing, 2 brother of Mrs. Fay. Helbing borrowed $500 from Mrs. Fay some time ago, ana later, as sne claims, when she received his portion of a legacy from Germany she ap- plied the amount—$§170—to the debt. When aisputes over money matters arose Helbing de manded his share of the windfzall, and when told that it had been taken as part payment of the $500 debt re- fused to accept any such arrangement, saying that the debt was outiawed. The suit was for the legacy. The amount of hard swearing on both sides mystified even the Justice, but noth- ing really sensational developed until Helbing called on John Gorman to testify in his behalf. Inexplaining how he came to gknow anything about the transactions between Helbing and Mrs. Fay he said that he haed sustained such close relations with the latter that she had told him all about it. His testimony was of such a character as to cause the defendant, a respectaple- appearing, middle-aged woman, to become faint and then furious with anger and she created the scene mentioned. Helbing is the man who was convicted of tapping the Spring Valiey mains in the Mission several yx ago and sentenced toa termin the nty Jail. Gorman is an elevator man in the Chronicle building. The Judge took the matter under consid- eration. EDWARDS IS ALIVE. The Man Asphyxiated Last Mondsy Night Turns Out to Be John Armstrong. Another cese of mistaken identity hasde- velopea at the Morgue. It appears that the Lewis Edwards who was found dead in a room on Jessie street is not Ed- waras atall, but John Armstrong, a tailor, who formexly worked on Howard street, near Fifth. By the supposed Edwards’ side was & woman so nearly dead that for hours her life was despaired of. Yesterday the genuine Lewis Edwards walked into the Morgue and startled Dep- uty_Coroner McCormick by asking, “How do 1look when I am dead?’ Then the whole stoty came out. It seems that Ed- ‘wards and the woman lived together for Since then he bas seen her only npon & few occasions, when she sought him to borrow money. Edwards accounts for the mistake on the woman’s part on the ground that when she recovered conscious- ness ber recoll ctions of the night before ‘were somewhat clouded. PUBLIC OPINION FOR PROTECTION What Banker Hellman Learned on a Trip to the East. Major McKinley the Favorite Among All Conditions of Voters. HE WILL REVIVE BUSINESS. The Feeling in New York and Else. where Among Large Numbers of Old-Line Democrats. I W. Hellman of the Bank of Nevada has returned afier an extended visit to Europe and the Eastern States, in both of which places he took notes of the political feeling and the prospects. - " He found that public sentiment in the East was strongly in favor of McKinley and protection. ln fact, he found this sentiment so strong thatit was the gen- eral opinion, especially in New York State, that Major McKinley would be elected beyond a doubt. Both the silver and protection 1ssues are discussed with about the same interest. The question of free coinage is nppermost in Wall street and other financial centers, while the business men, the shopkeepers, laborers and mechanics are more inter- ested in the issme of protection than in any other. They believe or rather they know that protection will start the wheels of industry turning. Those wheels in turn will unlock the vaults wherein are stored the millions of idle capital await- ing investment. They remember that under Harrison’s administration and up to the time of the advent of Grover Cleveland and the Wil- son act the factories were so many hives of industry and every man had work, and that with the striking down of protection the Industrial armies, with their Coxeys and Debses came into existence for the first time in the history of the American continent. “There is no gquestion in my mind,” added Mr. Hellman, “that the election of Major McKinley will improve business all over this country and that a very large number of the men out of employment in this country will be employed in the milis and factories. 1f Mr. McKinley be beaten the reverse of this condition of affairs will be witnessed, because confidence will be so0 shaken that thousands of people now in employment wil! be thrown out of em- ployment. This will come about by reason of the lack of protection against the com- petition of the cheap pauper-labor prod- ucts of Europe. “Itis the fact that in the event of the election of Mr. Bryan a great deal of the capital now in the factories and other capital which wonla be invested there will remain dormant. “The American people want protection, and they want it more in some States than in others. California certainly requires protection, and the silver gquestion which is made such a bugbear bere is misunder- stood. Our factories to-day, here and in the East, are languishing and unable to run because they cannot compete with the cheap labor of Europe and because they have not had the protection which they should have. Our imports are increasing and our exports are decreasing. Instead of exchanging products for products we are buying products from Europe and pay- ing gold for them. “The reduction of the surplus under President Cleveland’s administration was brought about by a falling off in the reve- nue. The Democratic tariff has reduced the income of the Government so much that it will be obliged to borrow money or to increase the rate of internal revenue taxation. The alternative is a higher tariff, against which the Democrats are pledged. “Mr. McKinley, beyond all question, is the stronger candidate of the two. I have fornd a great many of the old-line Demo- crats who say they will vote for McKin- ley, and there is a much larger number of them than the public has any idea of.” BOTTLES DUTIABLE. Judge McKenna’s Decision Relative to Glassware Is Finally Adopted by the Department. Collector Wise was yesterday formally notified by the Treasury Department that in future all imported bottles would be subject to a duty of one and an eighth cents per pound. The basis of this action is found in a recent decision by Jndee McKenns, and is told in the following let- ter to the New York Collector of Customs: TREASURY DEPARTMENT, OFFICE OF THE SECEETARY, ‘WasHINGTON, D.
