The Willamette Brought Down Over Twenty-Five Thou- sand Sacks. A FLEET READY TO LOAD IT. Vessels for Hawaii and Australia Are Leaving With Over. flowing Cargoes. Wheat still keeps pouring into the port. Every vessel from Puget Sound and the Coiumbia River brings more or less of the valuable grain and as the Pacific Coast Steamship Company has been unable to handle all the goods offering extra vessels | have been chartered and put on. The Willamette was taken off the coal route | and sent to Tacoma to load. She had taken in about 600 tons of coal, bat never- theless Captain Holmes managed to get about 25,000 sacks in her ’tween decks. Every one of them will be discharged on the seawall and they will be used as stiffening for the fleet that is now in port | awaiting a chance to load. Captain Holmes is one of the oldest and most experienced masters that comes to San Francisco. Years ago he was master of the Willamette and then went to the Umatilla, As captain of the latter he was the most popular man on the coast. Now he has gone back to his first love because, as he says, “‘There is less work and less worry.” The British ship Kelat had her flag at | balimast yesterday. E. Bates, the owner of the vessel, died in England last Sator- day. The Harry Morse is to take a load of | salmon to Sydney. The demand is great just now, and as the steamers of the Oceanic iine have more freight offerings | than they can carry, sailing vessels have to be put on the run. The Morse will be a valuable ship when all the salmon now on the dock is aboard. The bark Andrew Welch will take a peculiar cargo to Honoluln. Yesterday | she took aboard a considerable quantity | of nitrate from the ship British Princess, | and to-day she will go to section 3 of the seawall and fill up with flour and railroad ties. Every inch of space on her is en- | zaged, and every vessel up and loading | for Hawaii is in the same position. It looks as though business was picking up 1n the island republic. The Pacific Mail Company’s Feru got in from Hongkong via Yokobama ana Honolniu yesterday. | Advices from Honolulu by the steamer state that there was a serious row on the British ship Troop. The sailors at:acked the officers, and Second Mate Hanyey fired three shots into the crowd. Saiior Dzar was slightly wounded and the rest ran. Hanvey was tried and acquitted. The bark Gainsborough, which went on Diamond Head on the morning of August 29, was taken off on the 4th inst. and was towed into Honolulu harbor. The dam- age was slight, and after temporary re- pairs_have been made she will come to San Francisco for a thorough overhaul- ing. The Peru reports that the British bark Ladas left Honolulu on the 9ihnst. for this port to load wheat for London. The sealing schooner Josephins is re- ported with 148 skins. Captain Hansen | also reports that late in June he spoke the Diana with ten and the Retriever with six otter skins. The little schooner Mercur, built by Turner for Wilkens & Co., is being fitted out at Howard-street wharf, She is 70 feet long, 20 feet broad snd 7 feet deep, and will be used as a trader to the Marshall Islands. The Mercur is a handsome little crafit and shoald prove to be a fast sailer. A private letter gives the information that the Sierra, Captain McWhinney, is coming here from Caraiff. The jolly old | skipper has a host of admirers here, but he will be disgusted when he learns that bis bosom friend, Captain Cowper of the | Kinros<hire, is on his way to England from Iquique and not to San Francisco. *Has William been here yet?”’ was always the first question asked by McW hinney, and when a negative answer was given he would say, *Well, I'll wait awhile, the oid | woman will be along in a few minutes.” ‘When Cowper was first he would ask,*“Has Jim been bere vet?” and when he'got a | neeative reply he would sit down and re- | mark, *Well, the old man will be here in a few minutes.” They were always to- gether and are known everywhere Damon and Pythias. Captain *Jim'’ Patterson of the Dun- | staffnage is praying for a chance to come to Caiifornia. A couple of years ago he was ordered to San Francisco and he did nothing during the entire trip but curse his ill luck, lge had a pleasant time here and sailed for Europe with a better opinion of the people anda the country. He is now in Calcutta and writes to **Jim” Boyes: “‘How I wish I was back in Cali- fornia. The heat and mosquitoes are some- thing awful and the climate is unbear- able. Itake back all I said about San Francisco. It’s a great place to live |in, and I'd give two months’ pay to have the old ship at anchor inside the Golden Gate.” Quite a fleet got in last night. The schooner lazzie Prien, from Coquille River; the bark Aureola, from the Sound; the ship 8, P. Ritchcock, from New York; | the Britis. ship Sanchester, from Antwerp, and the British skip Eudora, irom Callao, were all in the offins at dusk, while the tramp steamer Wennington Hall, from Shkanghai, and the ship Elen Esslin, from Talial, zot in early in the day. All the big ships are chartered to load wheat and will get quick di_patch. The bar buoy at Coquille River has gone adrift, so coasting captains will have to look out, The steam schooner Farallon is tied in-ide the bar and cannot get out, and the steam schooner Alcazar is outside waiting a chance to get in. The schooner Mary and Florence got foul of the cable yesterday. When the flood tide came she dragged her anchor and brought up on the telegraph line, Assistant Chief Wharfinger Scott sent out an order to move the boat at once, but the order could not be obeyed. Twelve men were at work up to dark trying to move the boat, but failed. The schooner was in a dangerous position and the captains of the ferry-boats had to keep a bright look- ont for her during the nigh as J. Leask Ross, formerly of Morrison’s photographic siudio of Chicago, spent yesterday in Salt Lake en route to San Francisco. Mr. Ross has an enviable reputation as one of the finest expert pho- tographic operators in the United States, having had charge of the studio of Dana in New York for an extended period. The services of Mr. Ross haye been engaged by Mr. I. W. Taber of San Francisco for a period of two years.

SUTRUS GFT WA LAPSE AFTER ALL More Scandal About Pay- ing the Architect’s Commission. Governor Budd Insists That the Contractors Contribute the Money. THE MAYOR IS INDULGENT. Time for Beginning Work on the Affiliated Colleges Is Again Extended. The Legislature two years ago appropri- ated $250,000 to erect a building in San Francisco for the Affiliated Colleges of the State University. The Regents secured a gift of land, a besutiful site, from Mayor Sutro, on condition that active work of construction should begin at a specified time. When the time limit expired no work had been done, owing to the aelay of the Regents in agreeing upon the plans of architecture. : Mayor Sutro was asked to extend the time. He created quite a scare at the meeting of the board by an open declara- tion that there was a scheme to defeat the enterprise. He agreed, however, to an extension, and papers were accordingly drawn. Other delays followed, and a few days before October 8, the day for the ex- piration of the extended time limit, a meeting was held in Regent Reinstein’s office to effect the signing of contracts under the award made by the board. Gov- ernor Budd did not attend this meeting, as he was not notified when it was callea. Subsequently he raised the point that the approval of the contract by the Attorney- General had not been given as requir-d by law, and therefore no valid contract had been made. Hearing of the Governor’s opposition, the building committee, of which J. West Mar- tin is chairman, suspended operations, and thetimeunder the Sutroextension expired. A scene occurred at the meeting of the Regents last Tuesday. The Governor and Regent Martin addressed each other sharply as *'Sir’’ and each shook a finger av the otlier. Incidentally the accusa- tion was laid that a waiver of $11,000 which the architect had made in his com- mission to bring the total cost within the amount appropriated was to be made good by the contractors, This so complicated uffairs that it wasdecided to have a joint meeting of the law and building commit- tees in Judge Wallace's chambers to ad- just the difficulties. Accordingly these committees of the Board of University Regents met Gov- ernor Budd and Mayor Sutro in Judge Watlace’s courtroom yesterday forenoon. The conference was atiended by Regents J. West Martin, Arthur Rodgers, H. S. Foote, J. B. Reinstein, together with At- torney Mhoon and Secretary Bonte of the board. Mayor Sutrohu an interested party, was present. e had been informed of the complication,. and had consented to another extension until October 80. He was at first inclived to declare a forfeiture o: his gift. The explanation which Gov- ernor Budd made of the new complication which had just arisen did not seem to be compreuended by the Mayor. He said: *I haye made a proposition to do a gen- erous act, and if the regents choose to re- ject the gilt let them do so. The public may say that I have backed out, but I know that I have acted in good faith.” Governor Budd replied that the work bad beeo commenced in good faith by the regents, but it had tran-pired that the contractors had agreed to pay certain com- missions of $11,000 waived by the archi- tect. The Governor described the fine mate- rial that wes to enter into the construc- tion of the building and declared that the proposition to allow the work to proceed under the direction of an architect receiy- ing compensation frém the contractors supplying the material could not be tol- erated. The Governor recalied many inci- dents of the early meetings to consider the plans and mentioned that the archi- tect h.ddglven a bond that the cost would notexceed $250,000, yet the bids did exceed that sum, and in order to avoid a readver- tisement an arrangement had been effect- ed whereby the architect waived his com- mission. Mavyor Sutro said he did not understand what this had to do with the conduct of the regents in jeopardizing the gift which he bad made. Judge Wallace explained to the Mayor that the Regents could not permit their architect tp be governed by the contract- ors. The Mayor admitted the impropriety of such con:;ol, .nddinh“"; of the complY b tion would extend the time for beginnin work untit October 30. % s Architect Kroits was requested to make a statement of the case. He acknowledged that the bids were a trifle higher th.nfu estimates, but denied with a great deal of emphasis that he was in the pay of the contractors, or that he expected any com- gen ion from that source. “When the ids were found to exceed $250,000 some way was sugeested to reduce the figure and to avoid the expense and delay of Te- ! advertising. Attorney Mhoon was of the opinion that modifications might be made. Dr. Beverly Cole then announced that his faculty would guarantee to the amount of $15,000.” Judge Wallace asked the architect if any agreement had been made between the contractors and the architect, Mr. Kroft replied that none had been made. Governor Budd—Have you heard that the contractors are to pay Dr. Cole $10,000 to reimburse the faculty ? The architect replied that such an un- derstanding might have been on the basis of using Kolsom granite. The architect further explained that the reimbursement of Dr. Cole was an arrangement of the building committee to be brought about by the use of Folsom granite. In reply to Governor Budd the architect said it was the supposition from the start that Foisom eranite could be used. Governor Budd—How did it happen that Ray bid $45,000 for sandstone and $43,000 for granite when the granite is the more expensive material ? The architect contended that the use of Fo'som granite was authorized. Governor Budd again asked the archi- tect the direct question: “Do you know that the contractors are to reimburse Cole?” The architect said he did not know it. The regents decided to adjourn the con- ference until 1:30 . . to-day and ask Dr. Cole to attend. In the diversions of discussion yester- day Mayor Sutro did not encounter the octopus, but he launched out on the dan- gers of a bloody war if the rightsof the people were not respected. The position of affairs, so far as the re- gents, are concerned, is extremely tender. Should something happen before 1:30 p. . to-day to cause Mayor Sutro to fly off the handle the whole scheme for building on the Sutro site may fall to pieces and the appropriation of §250,000 lapse into the treasury. Judge Wallace and Arthur Rodgers seem to possess the contidence of the Mayor and on their assurance that everything possible is being done for the good of the country he may remain tran- quil and indulgent. 10 HAVE HEADQUARTERS The Federation of Women Has Just Taken a Home of Refuge. Destitute Wcmen and Children Will Be Temporarily Taken Care Of. The Woman’s Federation definitely de- cided yesterday to open a home of refuge for women and children. For some time past it has been the intention of this body to open an emergency refuge, where des- titute women could find a temporary abode, but it was not until yesterday that the location was definitely decided upon. The home chosen for the headquarters is 1057 Golden Gate avenue. It has only six rooms, but the ladies consider that it can comfortably accommodate ten women and that by crowding it will take in more. The rent is only $14 a month, as the fed- eration prefers beginning in a smail way and paying its bills as it goes instead of launching out beyond its means. Cots have already been promised for the home, ana other furniture will probably be donated. Mrs, Mary Trueworthy has been elected matron. “The refuge home will formally open at the end of this week. For some time past the Federation of ‘Women has been petitioning the Board of Health to appoint a woman physician to the Receiving Hospital. Yesterday it was resolved to Tenew the appeal, and the following ladies were appointed a com- mittee on working to get a woman doctor appointed at the Receiving Hospital: Mrs. K. Oatman, Mrs. M. J. Payne and Mrs. Richardson. FORBLYTHE’S MONEY Former Guardian of the Capitalist’s Daughter Sued for 824,000, Suits were yesterday filed against Kate C. Byrne and Florence Blythe Hinckley and their husbands for $24,000, alleged to be due on promissory notes signed by Mrs. Byrne. Mrs. Byrne was Mrs, Hinckley’s guar- dian while the latter was a minor, and in 1872, in consideration of the care and at- tention bestowed on her by Mrs. Byrne, the heiress of the Blythe millions agreed to give her guardian 10 per centof her fortune. B8he has since been paying $500 per month on account of this corttract. After the signing of the agreement whereby Mrs. Byrne was to get her per- centage of the Blythe estate, that lady gave Ida J. Phillips a promissory note for $20,000, for value received, and Levi Kow- alsky a note for $4000. 1t is these two rsons who are suing Mrs. Byrne ana ecau e of the contract Mrs. Hinckley and her husband are parties to the suit. —————— Improvements at Paso Robles.

California Demccrats Have Little to Say on the Silver Side. BRYAN'S PET THEORY FAILS. Silver Does Not Control the Prics of Cereals, After All—Bimetallic Opinion. Democratic politicians are greatly per- turbed by the remarkable and from their standpoint the entirely reprehensible posi- tion of Wheat in the present campaign. Mr. Bryan and his adherents have been counting on Wheat as one of their prime supporters. Everywhere in Mr. Bryan’s highly advertised lecturing tour he has tola the farmers to look out for their wheat interests, assenting to the view that the price of Wheat is almost exclusively governed by the price of silver. Other campaign orators took up the hint and put the case a little stronger than Mr. Bryan did, backing their asser- tions by the maryelous figures of the cam- paign statistician. Just as Wheat was being extolled as the bulkwark of the Democratic party, and consequentiy the palladinm of American liberty, what does it do but. desert the Democrats, simultaneously throwing its immense vote-controlling influence into the balance for ‘he Republican party. The political cartoon in yesterday’s CaALL, representing Mr. Bryan’s fright and discomfiture at the apparition of Wheat selling at $1 50 in gold, with silver still de- ressed, called forth favorable comments Pn every direction, Even the Democrats were compelled to admit the strength and cogency of the argument. 5Vnen Republicans were asked for their opinions they simply smiled and saia: “We have no need of an argument, the situation speaks for itself and for us. There’s the Wheat.”” Gavin McNab and W, H. Alford, chair- man of the Democratic State Committee, were asked if they had any explanation ot the Wheat problem at thistime. Both declined to tell their views for publica- tion. Mr. Alford said: “There is a good answer to be made to this Wheat Prapn:i- tion, but it is not a subject that I would care to discuss offhand, or to discuss at all without sufficient time to give it the study and attention which it deserves.” George W. Baker, one of the leaders of the California Bimetullic Leacue, said: “This sudden rise in Wheat cuts no figure as against the argument presented by the friends of free silver. Itisdue entirely to causes that do not relate to the pr.ce or silver or the price of anything else exobgt Wheat. There has been a failure of the Wheat crop 1n India and our Wheat is be- ing shipped there to feed the starving mil- lions of that vast country.” A suggestion was interposed that no definite information had been received from India to the eftect that there was a wide-spread failure of the cereal crop. “May be not,”’ assented Mr. Baker. “Possibly the news has not been cabled to this country, but it must be true, for if the crop there were not a_ failure California would not be shipping Wneat to Calcutta. It would be like carrying coal to New- castle.” E. P. E. Troy of the Democratic State Campaign Committes took a rosy view of the situation. He thought the advance in Wheat values is partly due to the wide- spread and deeply rooted belief of many that Mr. Bryan is sure of election, and that this is but discounting somewhat in advance the rise that would inevitably come not only to Wheat, but te all other staple farm products as soon as remone- tization of silver is assured. Mr. Troy confessed, however, that the demand for Wheat from India, Austrslia and England was the prime cause of the present upward movement. “The re- monetization of silver would be a power- ful fuctor in the advance in the price of ‘Wheat,” said Mr. Troy, “but it is not the only factor. We are ¢lad to see Wheat go up, no matter what is the cause, Just wait till silver is remonetized, and you’ll see an additional boom that will do your heart good.” In the meantime the Republicans are making the best of the argument, and let it be known that they are counting Wheat in the Republican column. NEW TO-DAY. AND WHEAT KEEPS CLIMBNG H:GHER The Local Market Skips Up Several Exciting Points. A Cheering Prospect in Sight From Every Point of View. WHERE WILL IT STOP? Bankers Say Confidence Has Returned and Busmness Will Take a New Start. Another big lot of explanations fell aue from William J. Bryan yesterday. De- spite the constant dropping of the price of silver wheat went booming upward and upward yesterday—a total rise of 9 cents for the day. The excitement was intense from open- ing to close. Only once did the price sag and the bears get a chance for their money. The news was encouraging t the price from every point of the compass, and all day reports from Chicago indi- cated the greatest excitement prevailing there on 'Change. England kept buying in epite of the rise, just as though she needed wheat. May option opened at $1 55)4 and under the early morning enthusiasm ran up rap- idly to $1 58. Toward the close of the first call, however, it fell back a notch or two, stopping at §1 563£. December began business at$1 55 and held to that price through the session. Something over 103,000 centals in hoth op- tions changed hands. At 10:15 o’clock December opened three points lower at $152, but rose to $1 543, geclined again to $153)4 and closed at 1 5334, Mt?y/ also was a shade lower at the open- ing, §1 5434, jumped away up to $1574 and closea at $1 5634. At 11:15 o’clock December began busi- ness at $1 5454, shortly afterward dropped the 5, then ook on %4 and at the close let it go again. May opened at $1 5614, rose and fell and ciosed at $1 57%. In the aiternoon the advance was steadier, following advices from London of advances there, and the excitement be- came intense. A net advance of 9 cenis marked the day. A number of bankers were interviewed yesterday as to the effect of the rice on the money market, whether or not it would loosen money with.regard to wheat. At the Bank of California the managers stated that they bad always Leen ready to loan money to their customers on wheat at a safe margin; that the rise would make no particular difference. At the Anglo-California Bank the state- ment was made that wheat at a low price NEW TO-DAY. Enjoyment In the home parlor means a hapoy life.

The president of the Sather Banking Company said that money was advanced on wheat only on safe margins, a wider margin being required now than before the rise. He remarked that the risein wheat at this time could not be more op- portune, showing, as it does, the folly of the argument that the price of silver governed and kept pace with the price of wheat. He thought that confidence was returning to the business men of the United States, coming with the assurance of McKinley’s election. An Honorary Member.
