Departure of the Frawley Company on the Steamer Australia for Honolulu, The Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s steamer Umatilla got in from Puget Sound yesterday with acargo of wheat. After discharging she will o to the Union Iron Works, where she will be docked for repairs. To look at the vessel as she steamed up to her dock no one would ever think that for weeks she had lain on tbe beach with the water up to ber main deck. Over a month ago the Umatilla left here for Victoria, B. C. On arriving at that point a pilot took charge for the voyage around the Sound and ran her on the | rocks near Port- Townsend in a dense fog. A big hole was torn in the vessel’s bottom and she began to fill. Captain Hunter then headed the vessel for the beach and | got her into shallow water before she went down. Captain Hunter and Chief Engineer Lacey are both aimost worn out with the work of attending to {he raising of the steamer and both are proud of the fact that sne is once more in San Fran- cisco. ] cannot say too much for my crew,’” said Captain Hunter. “Every man stuck to his post, and firemen kept steam up while working up to their knees in water. There was no panic among the passen- gers, but none of them would go below until Chief Steward Curtis got the galley fire going at 4 A. M. and made coffee and toast. When everything was ready the gong was rung, and the boys rounded all the cabin passengers iuto the dining-room for a snack. That put heart into ali of them, and they became more cheerful. They had bardly finisned eating before the water began entering the dining-room, but the passengers did not know 1t. Next Mr. Curtis saw that the steerage passen- gers were taken care of, and_ then he'or- dered breakfast to be got ready. “By this time the water was a foot deep in the galley, but the cook and his assist- ants stuck to their work, knowing that the vessel could sink very little lower, and by 7 A. M. & fine meal was prepared. Then the cabin passengers were marshaled into the steerage and served with as good a meal as they wouid have received at sea, only the surroundings were not as pleas- ant. After the cabin passengers had fin- ished the tables were cleared and then re- set for the steerage Enungerm I tell you 2 good meal puts heart intoa man or a Wwoman, and to hear those passengers laughing and joking after the tables wers cleared you would never think we had all had a narrow escape from fiolng down in deep water. Ali's well that ends well, however, and Curtis deserves all the creait for the inspiration that made him get that coffse and (oast ready at 4 o’clock in the morning.” After the water had been pumped out of the Umatilla the tugs Magic, Tyee and Tacoma took hold of the big steamer and towed her to Port Townsend. The ac- companying sketch is taken from a snap shot made by amateur photographer while the tugs and their tow were making for the Pacific Coast Bteamship Company’s landing at Port Townsend. After some temporary repairs the vessel was put on the drydock and big timbers were placed over the hole and bolted to the hull. Everything was made perfectly water- tight, and then the Umatilla went to Ta- coma to load wheat. It will be several months before she will again be ready for service. & The British ship Lancing stuck in the mud off the gas works early yesterday. She was being moved from Union street to the ges works to discharge her coal cargo, but as she is unusually long and has & big draft she could not gef llonfil{ds. She was afterward pulled off and anchored in the stream. A berth along the front will be secured for her and the coal will be lightered to the gas works. The mémbers of the Hawaiian National band again attended the sailing of the steamer Australia yesterday.

The whaling bark California docked at Howard No. 3, and will be discharged and fitted out again. Wallace James, the sec- ond mate, was not at his post, however, and the men say he left the vessel on the Siberian coast. He and Captain Fisher and Chief Officer Pease could notgetalong together, and all because, the men say, | James was the best whaler on the ship. Fisher and Peaseare brothers-in-law, and asJames was not liked by them his life was not a pleasant one. He left the whaler on the first opportunity, and took passage on the schooner Borealis for Vic- toria, B. O. He is there now and will sail next season on a sealing cruise. A big fleet of ships arrived off the heads yesterday afternoon, but the fcg sertled down alter three of them had been made out. The first to get in was the German | ship Britannia, in ballast from Caleta | Buena. Captain Haesloop reported that on the 8th inst., wnhen 200 miles off San Francisco, he saw four three-masted and one four-masted ship and one bark, all | bound for this port. The Edinburghshire, 69 days from Newcastle, N. 8. W., with 1934 tons of coal, and the British ship Dra- malis, 54 days from Sydney, N. 8. W.. got in later on. The bark Mohican from Hon- olulu was seven miles out when last heard from. She bas come up in the remarkably fast time of eleven days, but unless a tug picks her up she will not get in before this morning. Fourother ships are outside, but could not be made out from the Point Lobos station. The w ng steamer Thrasher got in last night with 2100 pounds of bone, 200 | barrels of oil, 390 pounds of ivory and fiity foxskins. Captain Cogan reports that on October 31, in_latitude 47 north, longi- tude 180 west, he ran into a heavy south- west gale. The steamer was swept from stem to stern and two of the whaleboats and their davits were swept away. Gustave Kretzschmar went into the Fair Wind salcon on the water front yesterday, and when paying for his drink dropped & $20 gold piece. William Lang, who was standing by, grabbea the money and ran. Kretzchmar followed, yelling *‘stop thief,” but he gottangled up among the Market-street cars and fell. Lang ran down East street toward Folsom, and Officer Aiken took up the chate. He captured the thief near Howard street and took him back to the Harbor Police station, where he was charged with petiy larceny. There was a small fire on the Vallejo steamer Sunol yestsrday. A bundle of oily rags fell on the stove, and in a few moments there was a bla%ze. The cook was away at the time, and before he got back the woodwork wasin a blaze. An alarm of fire was raised and the fire hose was got out. Before it was put in operation, however, the blaze had been extinguished by throwing buckets of water on the flames. The damage was slight, and there was no excitement among the passengers, ANOTHER GREAT ST0RF. Livingston Bros. Will Open on Post Street March 1. D. and 8. Livingston, of the firm of Livingston Bros., have leased a large store on Post street, in the Crocker building, where they %ill open up with a large stock of dry goods March 1. They leave to- night_ with four department buyers for New York and Europe, and will return to San Francisco about January 1. This en- terprise has been long under considera- tion by them, but would not have been entered into except for the success of the sound-money ticket in the late election. Tt is only one more of the many new en- terprises which will be started up in San Francisco to give employment to hun- dreds of men and furnish the most com- plete refutation of the claims of the Bryanites. — - .——— A Forgetful “Native Son.’” Jue Moy, & Chinese, who claims to be a native son of California, was before United States Circuit Court Commissioner Heacock yesteraay on a writ of habees corpus. He was refused a landing by Collector Wise, but be- fore the Commissioner he made out a good case until one of the Collector’s inspeciors threw a wet blanket on the fellow’s tesimony. Moy said that he had worked three years at Quong On’s store at 1007 Dupont street. The lnlfic‘ol‘ testified that when hs took Quong within balfa block of On’s store the native son could not tell which wayto go to reach the place. Now the Chinaman claims that he did not understand the interpreter's question when asked the direction to the store.

Election Commissioners Were Not in Favor of Making | Haste. CONFERENCE LAST EVENING. { Report of the Proceedings of the Day Was Discussed, but No Action Was Taken. ) \ Joseph Britton dropped into the Mer- chants’ Association yesterday and not finding J. Richard Freud at home, left the following note: | “The Election Commissioners bave re- | fused to callan election for freeholders.” This 1s the outcome of a visit paid to the Commissioners by a committee of Non-Partisans consisting of Joseph Le Breton, Frank J. Sullivan, George K. Fitch, A. 8. Hallidie and Joseph Britton. Mayor Sutro was not present, but j. M. | Block and H. T. Creswell represented the | board. Both said they were in favor of | the charter, but they could not see their way clear to the calling of an election of freeholders. They believed it was notad- visable to rush through a special election in time for ratification at the next session | of the Legislature. | Mayor Sutro is strong in his opinion | that there should not be haste in prepar- | ing a cnarter and that competent lawyers should be employed to guide the free- holders and prevent tte introduction of unconstitutional provisions, such as were found in the recently defeated charter. Such being the case, the absence of the Mayor did not cut much figure in the de- cision given by Creswell and Block. “Tne refusal of the Election Commis- sioners to call a special election for free- holders settles the whole matter, id J. Richard Freud. *“My idea was, however, that the refusal was based principally on the lack of funds. It would cost $50,000 to hold two special elections and the tax levy, which does not provide for that ex- penditure, has, already been made up to the end oi June, 1897. It is a very hard proposition to collect subscriptions at large from merchants and others interested in the framing and adopting of a new charter. The thing is that you can not guarantee them that the charfer will be accepted by the people. Hence, itis almost useless 10 canvass for funds from door to door. “Qur experience has been in this last election that about 33,000 citizens failed to vote for or against the charter. Itis th they were uneducated up to its provisio Therefore a campaign of education would have to be inaugurated. +Just toink of it, an organic law of this City being untouched by “the voters wno were so minute in xlr choice as to place their cross next td the names of candi- dates rvuoning eveh for the unexpired terms in minor offices. *The charter educational feature shounld be kept up until the Legisiature meets in January, 1899, owing to the decision of the Election Commissioners. “In November, 1898, there will be an election for Governor, and in the begin- ning of that year the fifteen freeholders conld frame a charter and submit it to the eople either at another special election in 1898 or_at the general Gubernatorial election. If it is ratified by the people at that election it could mitted at the Legisiature which meets in January, 1899, That would be the regular way a new charter could be put through. “This process is in accordance with sec- tion 8 of article XI of the constitution of California and is the regular method of acquiring a charter by cities of more than inhabitants. “There is a method of getting a new overnment for the City of S8an Francisco n accordance with section 6, article XI, of the constitution of this State, substan- tially as follows: “Cities may be organized under general laws whenever a majority of the electors voling ata dge eral ohmo} shall so deter- mine. And all charters/shall be subject to general laws. Under that section (6) a eneral law may be passed by the Legis- ature that will meet in Jan: ‘provid- ing for the government of San ncisco. And it will have to be adopted at a gen- eral election. The next one will only take place in November, 1898. So that will be the first opportunity for the electors to vote on that charter handed down by the Legslature. - “T.e serious objection to acquiring a new government f'r the City as per this last methodjis that this charter will be subject to general laws, except as to mu- nicipal affairs, and there is no certainty from the aecisions of the Supreme Cour as to what are exactly municipal affairs.” A largely attended meeting of the ex- ecutive committee of the Non-Partisans was held last evening. presided. Nearly all the members of the committee were present. The doors were closed at the beginning of the proceed- ings and were kept closed until the end, which was at a late hour. Abont as the committee were closing their discussion Mayor-elect Phelan came in and some of the points that had already been con- sidered were gone over once more. The enuire evening was consumed in talking over the charter. The Non-Par- tisans are as eager as ever they were before the general election to have some instru- ment adopted for the government of the City which shall be more in accordance with their views than the much amended and often construed consolidation act. The real business of the evening was to hear the repor: of the cominittee consist- ing of Frank J, Sullivan, Joseph Le Bre- ton, George K. Fitch and A. 8. Hallidie, who yesterday conferred with the Board of Election Commissioners with the pur- Pau of urging that a special election for reeholders should be called at once. The committee conferred with City Attorney Creswell and Tax Collector Block, and also with Garret McEnerney. Nooneex- cepting the committee wasadmitted while this report was made and during the sub- sequent discussion. No definite con- clusion was reached. This was given out upon authority at the hour of adjourn- ment. From another source it was learned last evening that City and County Attorney Creswell conveyed the idea to the com- mittee who called upon him yesterday that he considered the making of a char- ter a matter of considerabdle difficulty, and he believed that the proper way to go at it, if it shouid prove to beadvisable at this time, would be to emplioy able counsel. He made no secret of his opinion that three lawyers of skill at least could be satisfactorily emploved to weigh, word by word, and to consider the legal bearing of every proposed provision. Such skill would guard against errors into which laymen might possibly fall. He opposed haste in the adoption of a ckarter. CLOSED A SALOON. John Agar of Oakland Wins & Big Damage Suit. Judge Sewall of the Superior Court yes- terday handed down a decision in the case of Anton Clecak aganst Johr G. Agar, executor of the estate of Juseph Macdon- ough, deceased. The complaint alleges that Clecak and Peter Miocivich rented the basement of the Macdonough block, corner of Fourteenth street and Broad- way, Oakland, for ten years at $200 a month; that after Macdonough’s death Agar endeavored to regain possession of the premises, and in this effort had the plaintiff arrested for illegally selling liquor after midnight; that he employed two witnesses at $50 each to prove this charge, employed an attornev, and secured the revocation of plaintiff's license, causing him to abandon the business, wherefore he asked for $24,000 damages. ‘I'he attorney tor the defense interposed a demurrer and on this the case was de- cided. Judge Sewall siid that the actions of Agar, even if admiited to be true, were performed in his individual capacitv, and not asexecutor of the estate. He added: It wonld be unreasonable and oppressive to subject the helrs and devisees of an estate 10 Jiability and loss for the personal torts of an executor, as to which he is not required to give any security and for the commission of which Lis office of executor gave him no spe- cial opportunities. Assuming, then, which I very much doubt, that the acis complained of would have been a breach of the covenant for quiet enjoyment. of i 1 the premises if performed by Macdonoug! do not think that the defendant is liable in his capacity as executor for the damages occa- sioned io platutiff thereby. . 4 “Judge Sewall therefore sustained the de- murrer and gave judgment for the defend- unt.

Cigar-Mekers to Pass Upon Union Constitutional Amendments—Coast " Scamen’s Wag:s. At the next meeting of the Cigar-mak- ers’ Union action will be taken upon the amendments to the constitution of the in- ternational Union. These changes were recommended by the Cigar-makers’ Con- vention which met in Detroit on Septem- ber 28. They all relate to the benefit fund. At present $5 per week is paid in sick benefits for thirteen weeks. The amendment increases the time. The death benefit for one year is $50; for five years $100; for fifteen years $550, and so on. The proposed change is to two vears instead of one, six years instead of five, etc. The de- sire is toraise the out-of-work benefit from $5 a week to $6 a week for six weeks. An- other change is to provide that all mem- bers over 50 vears of age and who are out of work shall be paid $3 per week indefi- nitely. All the local cigar-makers’ unions in the United States and Canada will pass upon the same propositions. Ac the meeting of the Pacific Coast Shoemukers’ Union last evening the re- -| ports showed that the demand for shoe- makers in this City is larger than eve: All of the factories are running full forces. Many styles of shoes, prigcipally special atterns.that were not made last year, are ing manufactured in large quantities this year. There is so much of a demand for good shoemakers that a raise in wages is expected. The raise will not cause any immigration from the East, as workmen | there will not come so far West on specu- lation. The raice in wages will” come from the efforis of the manufacturers to secure the good men in other local fac- tories.
