VESSELS LYING UP AT SAUSALITO The Belford Is the First of Her Kind to Lead the Way. Captain McKinnon Expects That | Freight Rates Will Make a Sharp Advance. " 'OTHER MASTERS WILL FOLLOW Whalers Are Now B:ing Refitted for a Cruise. in the Southern Seas, e Disengaged ships are seeking high char- ters. Nearly every vessel that has come here from Australia, England, China and Japan has been ‘‘chartered prior to arri- val,” but still some have been ‘‘disen- gaged,” and it js these that are looking for big prices. It just happens that there are more vessels than wheat and until the last year's crop begins to come in there will not be much demand for ships. Fizuring on this state of affairs Captain McKinnon took the Belferd over to Sau- * salito and now has her hard and fast in the mud. It is only a few months ago since the last of the fleet that laid up in Richardsons Bay last year was towed out and load with wheat and now the Bel- fast starts the bail rolling again. The ac- companying skeici shows the vessel as she app esterday in her lonely i ances are that betore the week is ou will be joined by several others, the captains of which are willing to wait a few weeks for better prices in the freight market.

The gunboat Bennington got in from Port Angeles yesteraay. She will remain in the stream for a few days and will then go to Mare Isiand. After an overuhauliog ehe may be sent to Honolulu. The last of the saimon fleet got in yes- terday in the shape of the George Skol- field. She came in from Fort Wrangle _with 44,000 cases of salmon and 400 half- barrels ot the same fish. All the fisher- men were taken ashore on the tug Vig- ilang, but the Chinese were not allowed to land until they were passed upon by a Unitea States Custom-house inspector. I'his could not be accomplished for some time, so the tug was turned into a prison- ihem forget that “'Billy” - ship for the time being. The Monticello has cat the rates to Val- lejo. In future Captain Hatch willcharge .15 cents for a single trip and 25 cents for the round trip. This rate will only be good on the 7 A. M. and 4 P, . trips, and good for twenty-four hours. for 10 cents each way, and the Monticello ‘has peen compeiled to meet that figure, When the latter vessel was cbarging 50 cents no one would travel on her because Now that the round trip has been reduced fo 25cents ‘the Vallejoites think her the finest boat on the bay. they thought her unsafe. -‘FOR A THEATER CIRCUIT, Gustay Walter on His Way East to ake Arrangements. Gustav Walter left last evening for New York, where he is going to meet the mem- bers of the English syndicate, with which ‘be will, if satisfactory arrangements can be made, form a theatrical combination. ' .The idea is to form a circuit of theaters across tne country, and even to England. Mr. Walter already has options on two or _three theaters between here and the East, end these will be opened very sdon. If the syndicate does not come in Walter in- tends to open the theaters himself. He .will-spend some time 1n Europe before he returns, where he will go over the theatri- cal attractions with a view to securing cuitable ones for the circuit. Among them iz Rosner’s electrical demonstrations, which is now creating quite a sensation across the water. In Uganda you can get a wife for two or three bullocks, or even for six 20od sewing needles, or a box of percassion caps.

Marin County will also be well represented. The church is now being decordted for | the occasion in a most tastelul manner, The convention will opénwith musical selections by the First Baptist Church orchestra, under the leadership of R. P. Evans, who will also lead the praise ser- vice. A These will be followed by the doxology, rayer and Bible reading, aftd ‘he Gloria" from Mozart’s “Twelfth -Mass” given as an interlude by the orchestra. Then the actual business of the conven- tion will be transacted. The report of the secretary, Miss M. C. Sanquist, will give an account of the work accomplished in the last three months. It will also deal with an outline of the union’s plans for the next quarter. The report of the treasurer, Charles M. ‘Whitney, will include all moneys received from the different societies for the ’97 fund up to 8 P. M. to-day. Chairman Watt of the ’97 committee in his report will name all the chairmen for the different branches of the commi:- tee. During the consecration service, which will begin promptly at 8 o'c’'ock, the doors will be closed. It will be ied by Rev. M. | P. Boynton, pastor of the First Baptist Church. This service will precede an ad- dress, entitled ‘‘State’s Part in 97, by Erancis N. Reed, State secretary of the ristian Endeavor. During the offertory several vocal se- lections will be rendered by Miss Graham. An address, “Spiritual Freparation for 97, will be given by Rev. Dr. Mackenzie, astor of the First Presbyterian Church. r.

Wiles. Illegal Voting. Frank J. McGrath, the printer, who was ar- rested in the Eighth Precinct of the Thirtieth District for illegal voting, appeared before the tenth anniversary of the Golden Gate | cause it also happens to be the occasion of | Judge Low yesterday morning. By consent the case was continued till to-morrow. DEATH OF J K. FAHEY He Was a Pioneer of Tuolumne County, and the Largest Cattle-Dealer in the County. John K. Fabey, a Califorma pioneer who came around the Horn in 1851, died at hisresidence in Sonora, Tuolumne County, yesterday. The deceased was an extensive rancher and the largest cattle-dealer in the county. He was universally respected by all with whom he came in contact. His wife died two years ago, and be has been fail- ing in health ever since. He leaves five children to mourn his loss—two sons and three aaughters, one of whom is the wife of William Fahey, proprietor of the Cos- mopolitan Hotel. Mr. and Mrs. Fahey left yesterday morn- ing via Stockton for Sonora to attend the funeral. . PLEADED NOT GUILTY. People’s Bank Depositors Arraigned on a Charge of Libel, George B. Conant and Thomas 8. Wil- liams, two of the People’s Bank depositors indicted for/libeling Judge Hebbard, were arraigned before Judge Daingerfield yes- terday and pleaded not guilty, with the privilege of withdrawing their pleas with- in two days if they so §esire. Their trial was set for November 13. The five others indicted with Williams and Conant were not present in couri to lead, but were represented by counsel. ?uiius Kahn, special counsel for the prose- cution, objected to allowing their lawyer to plead for them and Judge Daingerfieid accordingly orderd them to abpear Friday for arraignment. 5 700 LADY T0 WoRk Edward Erickson, a Tramp, Breaks Open a Postal-Box on Bernal Heights. He Admits That He Did It to Be S:nt to Jail, Where Hs Would Get Gocd Food. Edward Erickson, a tramp, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Policeman J. J. Kern and booked at the Seventeenth- street station on the charge of malicious mischief. He was later taken to the City Prison and will be handed over to the Federal authorities, Between 12 and 1'0’clock Erickson broke open a postal box with rocks on the cor- ner of Brewster and Cortez streets, Bernal Heights. He was observed by two ladies, who followed him till they met Police- man Kern and he placed him under ar- rest. Erickson is a big, hulking fellow, 35 years of age, with very little intelligence. He is a fine specimen of the tramp species and has a horror of work. “What did 1 break open the box for?'’ he said, in answer to a auestion. *‘Weil, I am tired of seekinz for food and want to be sent to jail, where I will get good -food and have nothing to do. “Why don’t I go to work? Well, be- cause I won’t. I haven’t done any work for six months, and even if I wanted to I coulan’t get 1t here. I don’t want to work—that’s about the size of it—as Iam too lazy. I have tried it, and don’t see any good in it.”’ “Why don’t you go into the country and get some easy job onm one of the ranches?’ “No, I won’t. I have worked on ranches, and never yet saw an easy job on them. I want to goto jail, and that's all there is to it; so I thought if I broke open the postal box I would get arrested. I would have broken more if the policeman hadn’t gov me.”’ e ———— The boiler tubes of a large liner, if placed in a row, would stretch nearly ten miles, and the condenser tubes more than twenty-five miles.

Sanquest, SUDDEN RISE IN STOCKS AND BONDS Great Excitement in the Exchange Over the Elections. United States Bonds Were “as Good as Gold” at Any Price. ADVANCED $2 YESTERDAY. San Francisco Securities Go Up From $1 to $3 and Are H:ld Firmly. The first flush of prosperity as a result of the election of McKinley came early yesterday morning. It came not in mere talk, nor in hoping for better times, but in the most substantial and positive man. ner known. The success of the Repub- lican National ticket, and all it meant for the Nation, made itself apparent to the complete satisfaction of evervbody con- cerned, and all that happened in the place where the very securities of the United States and of San Francisco were at sfake —in the Stock and Bond Exchange of San Francisco. The change was like a bright sunny morning after a long, tedious spell of dark and gloomy days. Where but a few days before, as has been asserted by several bankers and stock - brokers, things were dangerously close to a panic, money was Joose again, merchants, brokers, capitalists and depositors in sav- ings banks were contented in their minds and easy about money. But in the Stock and Bond Exchange the feeling was more than mere contentment, it bordered on excitement all day—the opposite of a panic, for the excitement had the mature of a ratification combined with the pleas- ure of seeing securities rise with sudden strides, the like of which was almost un- precedented. In times of mining deals, when nobody knew what shares were worth from hour to hour, there was no more genuine sensa- tion created by the advance in stocks than when yesterday the men of money un- loosed their purse strings and eagerly rushed after bonds and securities. United States bonds were again intremendousde- mand by men who did not possess enough of them; but the men who were the toriu- nate owners.of these securities declined to part with the bonds. When the morning session of the ex- change opened a broker bid $109 for 4 per cent bonds (quarterly coupon or quarterly registered) and $1i9 for 4 per cent quar- teriy coupon, new. ‘When the exchange closed Monday evening these were selling at $107 and $117 respectively. . But the extraordinary bound of $2 was no temptation to the holders of Uncle Bam’s bonds. “United States bonds at 109 ana 119!"" exclaimed an enthusiastic bidder. *“Wno wants to sell at 109 and 1192 “Sell United States bonds now, ob, no; they are as good as gold,”" replied a broker. “You must go higher.”” The same astonishing rise took place in stocks which are part of the securities of Ban Francisco. For instance, Market- street Railway, California-street Railway, Omnibus Railway, Spring Vailey Water Company, Sutter-street Railway, Pacific Gas Improvement, San Francisco light stocks advanced from $1 to $3; Edi. son Light and Power Comrany went from 1i934 to 123 in the bids and sold for 12214, Here is a clear advance of something like 2 per cent. As those stocks represent securities of San Francisco it is easy to concluge from their spasmodic rise that all other securities of the city would ad- vance in a corresponding ratio, The b eficial effect, thereiore, may be 1magined. Real estate itseli must have falt the in- fluence with the result that the City was far more wealthy yesterday in its values than on Monday. “For the sake of com- arison the following figures from the gtock and Bond Exchange bulletins of November 2 and November 4 are here given: 2 Nov, 2.{ Nov. 4.

Buckingham, a member of the exchange, declared that the rise from one session to another was almost unprece- dented, as it was not confined to one line of stocks or bonds, or any stocks in partic- ular. The influence of the election was felt in all classes of securities. It brought back confidence in one day, and that was what the country nted for a long time. A Daughters’ Entertainment. The King’s Daughters of Howard-street M. E.Church sre to give &n entertainment for the benefit of the Deaconess’ Home this even- ing.

VTHLETICS MT NG, A Grand Entertainment at the Oiympic Club Next Week. A Chorus of "Fifty Voices Will Ee a Feature of the Musical - Progrzmms2. The directors of the Olympic Club are leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to make the entertainment of the evening of the 11th inst, a success in every par- ticular. The ladies who will be present on this occasion can certainly count upon witnessing feats of athletic skill and prowess that will equal if not surpass the great professional performances occasion- ally seen in some of the theaters of this City. It will be noticed in the following letter from that famous athlete and ener- getic leader of the club, Howara Taylor, that particular attention will also be given to the vocal and inscrumental part ot the programme. Mr, Taylor's letter is self- explanatory: The Olympie Club will give a grand ladies’ night on'the 11th inst., and in arrangement of rogramme will surpass anything ever given n the club’s gympasium. The members have been working. assiduously the past month polishing up their latent energies and acquir- ing a neatness and finish to their respective acts. The athletic programme, as already ar- ranged, shows & budget of novelties, and, it THE CALL'S predilection is of any value, ought to capture thelarge and enthusiastic audience which will no doubt attend. Assistant ader La Rue and Professor Belan deserve special praise, for deveioping some remarkably clever gymhasts, who will show their daring and skill on the above evening. The triple bars will again be in evi- dence, together with tambling, leaping, box- ingand wrestling. A pole act by A. Cooper, an exhibition ou the slack wire by W. Dorn, a burlesque boxing bout, representing McKinley and Bryan, by Cornell and Empey; & juvenils class of fencers and a genuine duel scene be- tween Proiessor Trouchet and E. Lastreto, will be some of the new features (it would not do to tell all of them). The last-named event will be realistic in the extreme; each will ba atiended by seconds. and a real live doctor will be on hand. They will contest with pomaed rapiers and a startling finish is antici- ated. s The evening’s entertainment will conclude with a grand miunstrel first part, for whicn the club's gymuasium will be handsomely deco- rated and beautifully illuminated. A large stagze, 38x32, is in_the course of erection. and will be replete with genuine stage settings, electrical effects and all the necessary scenic environments. The first part will consist of a grand overture by the entire company. The chorus, containing about fifty voices, is now being shaped for the occasion under the per- sonal superyision of Fleicher iilton. About fifteen madrigal boys will also assist. Ballads wiil be rendered by Messrs, Finnie, Coffiu, Tarbox, Tucker and Hal.ett, and the popular airs-will be sung by Comedians Cath- cart, Swinnerton, Rosborough, Hines and Mitchell, The Press Club Quartet will also new seiections. All'the will be sprung by the funny endmen, and a rollicking fast climax will conciude the performance. The club directors are certainly striving in the right.direction to restore the lost vitality and athlétic prestige which has so long been dormant, and & coutinuance of the marked efforts and_apparent energy will in due time stamp the Olympic Club as of yore, the grand- est athletic institution in the country. ————————— For a Family Aliowance.
