WAS DISCCVERED WHEN AT SEA Promised Fortunes to His Comrades But He Never Lived to Realize Them. The whaling schooner Rosario arrived from the Arctic yesterday, after a partially unsuccessful cruise. While no "whales were taken Captain Coffin secured quite a quantity of bone in trade and also a num- ber of furs. In the circumstances the owners of the vessel will about make ex- Captain. Wing brings word that from the very latest reports the Orca had five whales and the Narwhal one or two more than she bad on last report. All the fleet that wintered at Herschel Island went to the westward and expected to make a big catch similar to that of last year. They were disappointed, however, as heavy gales prevented, and they were driven back to their winter quarters. Very few of the whalers will pav expenses this year, LisagE - E Ly ® DU MAURIER’S “TRILBY.” The Marine Journal Says No Vessel Has Ever Been Named After the Mas- ter’s Creation, Monday’s southeaster brought in a fleet of vessels yesterday afternoon. Three British vessels, two whaiers and quite a number of coasters got in before dusk. The Britishers were the Mayfield and Wanderer from Newcastle, N. 8. W., and the Semantha from Shanghai. The two former came here in ballast on account of the strike in the Newcastle collieries,while the Semantha brings a general cargo. All three are sure of charters, as the demand for wheat in Europe, Asia and Australia is on the increase. . The ‘new woman” has become a marine reporter. She went out to the Point Lobos station yesterday and explained to the observer tor the Merchants’' Exchange that she was on that ‘‘detail from the Ex- change.”” She wanted to use the telescope, examine the books and generally run the place. The observer demanded her credentials and as she could not produce anv the ‘“new woman” was gently but firmly ordered out of the premises.

Opinions of Men Who Have Canvassed Their Dis- tricts. A REPUBLICAN U. 8. SENATOR Voters Ar: Almost Unanimous in Placing the Legisiature in Republicaa Hands. At this stage of the fight each candidate has made a careful canvass of his district, and from such he is in a position to fore- shadow the result of next Tuesday’s ballot. In the Twenty-eighth Assembly District there are six candidates in the field, The Pacific Mail Steamship Company’s Acapulco Sailed for Central American Ports Yesterday, It Was Very Foggy Outside the Heads and It Was Some Time Before the Pilot-Boat America Could Be Picked Up and Captain “Pete” Ott Put Aboard. Once the Pilot Was Disposed Of the Acapulco Proceeded Under a Slow Bell, penses, but the crew, having shipped on a “jay,” will have to content themselves with $1 a head. Captain Coffin brings back with him a pathetic story about a successful hunter and miner who died while on his way back to his El Dorado. He was discovered in the hold of the Rosario when the schooner was well out to sea, and as he was a con- sumptive the officers took pity on him and gave him light work. He appreciated their kindness and worked well until the Arctic was reached. Then he succumbed to the severe cold and was buried at sea. Ben Roze was the nameof the deceased. Years ggo he was a hunter and miner in Alaska. He did well, and year after year added to his store. His mine was a good one and money poured into his private hoard. Finally he sold out his hunting business, but neverrevealed the position ot his gold mime. With about $35, in his pockets he came to 8an Francisco and for a few months had what whalers and seal- ers call *‘a good time.” After spending about $20,000 bhe pur- chased a saloon on Market street and there went into business, For a time Roze did fairly well, and then the bills of his whal- ing, mining and hunting friends kept growing. Finally be soid out the Market- street business, and with his remaining dollars he estaplished himseli on Pacific street, near East. 111 luek or_bad debts still pursned him and finally Roze lost his latter possession and every cent he had on earth besides. It was then that he resolved to stow away on the Rosario and ouce more work the mine that had once before yielded him a fortune. His intention was to go into the ice with the schooner and then strike across the continent by a route which he knew. Roze was confident of success and romised every man and boy on the o0saric a ‘'share of his money when he reached San Francisco again. Unfortunately many weeks before the Rosario reached Point Barrow Roze was taken sick with consumption and before the headland was reached he was dead. A funeral at sea is always a sad affair, but t is one was particularly go. Every mem- ber of the crew knew Roze and all were his friends, in fact the supposition is that some one among them heiped the miner to stow away. Captain Coffin read the burial service over the remsains and the body was consigned to the deep. “‘Ben came to me several days before we sailed and wanted to 'ship on the Rosario,” said Captain Coffin_yesterday. “I knew him weli and wouid have given him work, but then he was a physical wreck. I had to refuse bim, even though the tears did come in _h.s eyes. He as- serted that if he could only reach the Arctic he could make money as a hunter and then make his way to the Yukon, I laughed at him, but he persisted, and finally I came to half believe in his mine. ‘“As there was no point at which we could land him, we had to take Roze along. He was the most willing worker I ever saw, and his faith in the gold mine bhe had left years ago, and which he ex- pected to reach again, seemed to buoy him up. Nevertheless he failed day by day, and when he died he was as thin as a skeleton. What delicacies can you expect to find on a whaler? But even though I say it, the stowaway, Ben Roze, had the best the ship could produce,’” The Rosario was taken direct to Oak- land Creek, and all who attempted to board her were towed away past Goat Island by the tug Alert. This makes the second whaler that has gone into the creek to “lay up’ indefinit The Wil- liam Bayhes and the Rosario are now anchored side by side, and many more will keep them company before the year is out. The steam whaler Kariuk also got in from Fox Island last night with 3000 Eoundx of bone and one sack of furs. Sue rings the news that two of the crew of the Jeanette who attempted to escape from the vessel were shot by the officers and killed. At one time there was a general exodus of the whalers toward the Yukoa, as chronicled in THE CALL some weeks ago, and some of the deserters were hot and some escaped, Two of the Jeanette's “new woman” is, but the observer at Polnt Lobos refuses to give any details. “George Du Maurier, the author of ‘Trilby,” bas died without the honor of any vessal, so far as we can ascertain, having been named after his popular heroine,” says the Marine Journal, “Yet for a vessel with a typically beantiful forefoot it ought to be a mascottish cog- nomen.” What’s the matter with the stern- wheeler Trilby of San Francisco? When she was launched a few months avo at North Beach her “‘typically beautiful fore- foot’’ stuck in the mud and it took two tides to get her off. Then how about the barge Svengali? The latter was tied up in Mission Bay last August and the Trilby came along in the dark and ran into it. The Trilbys and Svengalis in the bay of San Francisco are certainly not things of beauty, still we have them. The Oceanic Company’s Monowai will take away almost as large a cargo as the Mariposa. Over 100 tons of canned goods awaited her arrival, and since then the merchandise has kept piling ug. Over 1000 bicycles will go away on her and hops, wheat and general merchandise will crowd the vessel. Tne French bark Lamoriciere, after dis- charging her ballast at Main street, has been placed on the drydock. During the run here from Valparaise she sprung| that | aleak and an examination showes several rivets were sprung and that a gen- eral overhauling was necessary. Some months ago the engines and boilers of the stern-wheel steamer Frank Silva were taken out and replaced with a gasoline apparatus. On the first trial there was an explosion, but fortunately no one was injured. Repairs were made and another trial took place yesterday. It was a success and in fature the Silva will be propelled by gasoline. During Monday’s cale the schooner Glendale went ashore near Selby’s smelt- ing works. She was loaded with lumber for the Port Costa Lumber €ompany, but was in a safe position. Thesteamer Sunol of the Piper, Aden, Goodall Company came along and in answer to the signals on the Glendale went to her assistance. The schooner was towed off and put on the right course for Selby’s. The big 13-inch gun for Lime Pointis| now lying on a barge at the foot of Fol- som street. Accompanying it is & donkey engine, which will be used to land the big gun when Lime Point is reached. Thoe first load of stone for the new ferry dej-ot arrived yesterday. It will only be a few weeks when the iron work will have so far progressed as to make it possibie for a beginninz to be made on t e sione work. In the meantime the Commissioners are viewing the subject from all points of in- terest, Colonel F. 8. Chadbourne of the Harbor Commission returned from the East yes- terday. He saysthat New York has no wharf that can compare with Pacific-street wharf in this City and that McKiniey isa sure winner. The colonel is now clean shaven, as he says he could not endure the winds of Colorado. The tug Fearless, thfee days from Na- naimo, came in last evening with a deck- load of coal which she took on in order to proceed south, as was at first intended.

The whole regular Republican ticket was indorsed. The names of Curd H. Wetjen for Tax Collector and Thomas W. Chandier for Staie Senator of the Twenty-fifth Senatorial District' were re- ceived with unbounded enthusiasm. Speeches were made by Carl Trefz, Bhn Shaffer, Reinhold J. Spahr, Louis Kirschbaum and others. Over 200 were present. S e e——— JAMES G. MAGUIRE, at Union Hall, October 20, 1896, People’s party mass-meeting, * In speaking of the winner, William Kennerson said: “I have canvassed this district thor- oughly, and therefore I am in a position to say that I will be elected. This is not because I am more popular than some of the others who are running, but because Irepresent the regular Republican party and the principles of McKinley."” Much the same sentiments have been expressed by James E. Fiynn, t. e regular Republican nominee for the Twenty- ninth District. He said: “T believe I know as much about the majority of the voters in the Twenty- ninth District as any other man, and from this knowledge I speak. I am sure of being elected. While I admit that some of the other nominees are popular, yet this is not the question before the voters. It is who will best assist in carrying out the olicy of the Republican party. To assist xicKmley we must have a United States Senator from California who belongs to the Republican party, and to insure this the voters have every confidence in my voting for such a man. Hence you can easily see that the party from whom 1 got my nomination is the straight Repubiican party, und that is the chief reason why I will be elected.” Henry M. Kelley, the regular Republi- can nominee for the Assembly from the Thirtieth District, said: 3 “Since I received my nomination I have made a caretul canvass of thisdistrict, and from what I have learned I have reason to believe I will without question be re- turned to the Assembly from the Thirtieth District. My constituents are chiefly property-owners, who own their own houses, and have therefore an interest in the welfare of the country. They have nad enough of Democracy for years to come and will vote for the straight Re- publican nominee. am the only regular nominee whose credentials are genuine aud to which party the people can look for protection and a revival of the good times they had when the Repub- lican party had control of the general Government.” e The Thirty-first District, as canvassed by T.J. Sullivan, is solid and sound for McKinley. I have made a thorough canvass of my district,” said Mr. Sullivan, “and I am more than certain that I will be elected by a handsome majority. The voters of the Thirty-first have bad sufficient of free trade and dull times, and with this bitter rience they don’t want a continuation of Democratic policy and ruination.” Jeremiah Lucy, the regular Republican nominee for the Thirty-second District, is equaily certain of his eléction. His dis- trict 1s inhabitated by hard-working, in- dustrious men, who know from experi~nce what it 1s to be thrown outof employment. He said: “I have not a little bit of doubt left in my mind but that I will be elected +ands down. I have talked with hun- dreds of the yoters in the Thirty-second District and I find the great majority of them to be in favor of McKinley "and the nominees of theregular Republican party. Hence my election is assured because I represent the policy and principles of this great party.” . 'You ask about the Thirty-third,” said R. Rasmussen, the nominee for the Assembly on the regular Republican ticket. “Why this question seems to be almost useless. What? The Thirty-third, where the nien are all mechanics? Surely. those men are not foolish enough to vote away their bread and butter, which the: will be doing if they vote for Mr, Bryan. The Thirty-fourth Assembly District will afford an easy walkover to P. D. e Jr. “I have not the slightest doubt in my mind,” yaid he, “‘about the Thirty-fourth District. I have been born and raised right here among the_people of this dis- ct, and I consider I know what I am speaking about when I say that I will most assuredly be elected. “The voters in this ".1strict are an intel- ligent, thinking people, and as such they bave watched the effect of Democratic free trade and free plunder for the past four years. ’l‘ho{ have had enough.” - C. L Hedemark of the Thiriy-fitth As- sembly District, in answer to the question ! “Tnere is no chance about it. The peo- fila of the Thirty-fitth District are for tue epublican party. 2 “It is not men but measures with the voters of this district.” - William H. Gieeson, the nominee of the regular Republican convention, said, when asked for his opinion: My district is somewhat large and scattering, aud as a consequence it has taken me some time to get over it. But I have done so and am consequently in a position to give expres- sion to my experience. I am very confi- dent of being elected to the Assembly from the Thirty-sixth District.” s s CANDIDATES INDORSED. Choice of the Twenty-Fifth Senatorial D.strict Indepen ients.

Ex-Secretary P, L. Shuman on the Necessity of Pro- tection. REASONABLE MEN WANT IT, Great Changes in the Mining Distriets. Illinois Demccrats Never Won \ Except by a Fluke. P. L. Shuman, for many years on the staff of the Chicago Evening Journal, but for over a dozen years past engaged in im- portant mining enterprises, now owner of “elading properties in Calaveras County, is at the Palace. Mr. Shuman has been referred to as at one time Lieu- tenant-Governor of 1llinois, but this is in- correct. It was his uncle, the venerable editor, Andrew Shuman, who occupied that position. Heis one of the principal owners of a large silver mine in the mountamns of Conejos County, Colorado, and he was at one time a heavy owner in the famous Jo Davis silver mine at Leadville. His mine in Conejos County was paying well till the depreciation came in the value of silver. “When the white metal fell below 80 cents an ounce he could not work the mine. At 85 cents and above, he could make a handsome profit. Nevertheless, he does not believe it to be for the good of the country to have free silver, though as it is it costs him about a year to have the mine looked alter while it is closed. Mr. Shuman does not let his personal interest in silver mining change his views as to what is good for the country. He is an unflinching Republican and will vote the ticket as usual. g ‘‘So far as I can learn,” he said Tuesday night, “every man who really understands how much better it is to have protection than to vote for Mr. Bryan and free silver will cast his vote for Mr. McKinley. Men everywhere who have any wptrty in- terests are doing this. Idonot beli lieve irom what I know of Iliinois that there can be the least question as to how that State will go. I predict it will roll up an enor- mous majority for McKinley. Chicago will go for him by 50,000. *Only on Lwo occasions did Illinois go Democratic An recent years, once when Altgeld was elected, and another time previously, and both times it was not be- cause there was a lack of Republicans, but because there were local differences that made some of the Republicans record their vote as a protest. That was all. The Democrats did not hold that vote. They NEW TO-DAY. 636 Market, Opposite Palace. Telephone Main 1333. SPECIAL THREE DAYS’ SALE Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
