Return of the Wrecker Whitelaw From the Remains of the San Benito. The Compasses Were in Perfect Order and the Vessel Was Well Fqu ppzd. The busiest scane at the water front is to be found at Mission-stieet wharf. All classes of vessels are there. The big ship from Australia is unloading coal, the whaler is being refitted, the scow schooner is unloading and the American ship is taking in a general cargo for New York. Steam schooners can be seen loading and unloading and all in ail Mission 1and 2 presents the busiest scene on the front. The Norwegian bark Stjorn and the British ship Travancore are both alongside Rosenfeld’s bunkers. The whaling bark Cali ornia is being fitted out for a South Sea island cruise, the McNear is almost loaded with lumber for “Australia and the scow schooner Piate is taking in a general cargo. Severalsteam schooners and small craft are in the intermediate spaces and in consequence Wharfinger SBhort is more than busy. The wrecker Whitelaw got in from the remains of the San Benito yesterday. All she brought back was the steamer’s chronometer, *her compasses, the signal lights, the steering wheel, the signal gun and all the small stuff that could be saved. “In all her life bucked intoa heavier gale than ske en- countered’ when on her way to Point Arena,” said Chief Engineer Collins yes- terday. “We had a terrible time of it and yet the wrecker logged her eight and seven-eighths knots an hour right along. When we got to Point Arena the wreck was breaking up and all we could do was to save anything that the waves had spared. When the gale came up again we had to put to sea again and came right back to San Francisco. The San Benito, cargo and all, will be a total loss.” “The San Benito’s compasses are now aboard the wrecker,” said Captain White- law. “There are seven of them and every one is in as good condition as those of the City of Peking, and the iatter vessel got The chronome- ter is also aboard the Whitelaw and it is in from China yesterday. in perfect order. We only had a cursory view of the wreck, but judging the stuff we saved she was one of th. best formed vessels that sailed through the Golden Gate. She was better equipped than any collier I have ever seen and that is saying a good deal. Give the devil his due and say from me that on any other collierin che same circumstances the chances are that the loss of life would have been twenty-six instead of six.” When the second gale came up the Whiteluw had to rua for San Francisco. It was lucky she got in as soon as she did, because at 5:30 P. M. it was blowing 66 knots an hour, while at tue heads the Hydrographic Office recorded 56 knots an hour. The San Benito was fitted with Sir William Thompson’s patent deep-sea sounder, and 1t was saved from the wreck. With otuer sounders the ship has 10 be hove to in order to make a sound- ing, but with the new invention an obser- vation can be made when the vessel is at full speed. Crossing the bar Captain Whitelaw tested the new contrivance and found that he could gauge the depth of water on the bar while the Whitelaw was going full speed. Tue schooner Amethyst got in yester- day, and the captain reports having passed a water-logged ' and dismasted schooner on the 2Ist inst. off Cape Blanco. It was blowing hard at the time and a very heavy sea was running, so the crew of the Amethyst could not lower 2 boat. The schooner Joseph and Henry was very close to tne wreck at the time, and the chances are that when she reaches port some more definite information about the derelict may be obtained. Mrs. Thorold, owner of the tug Ethel and Marion, and the captain of the littie vessel had quite an altercation yesterday. The master of the vessel made a remark which the owner resented, and she went for him with her umbreila. raced up the wharf and Mrs. Thorold after him, and it was only when Officer Henneberry put in an appearance that the chase ceased. A new master will go out on the Ethel and Mariou to-day. The new steamer for the Hawaiian inter-island trade was not built by Mat- thew Turner but by Hall Bros, of Puget Sound.

The Interstate Commerce Commission After a Derelict Corporation. The officials composing the Interstate Commerce Commission are evidently not of the material that will stand nonsense or interference with their official duties. Under an amendment to the law setting forth the duties of that bedy is one that it shall present an annual authorities in Washington, D. C., a state- ment of the working and businezs of every raliroad in the United States. 1in order to do so the commission is obliged to call containing the desired information. To this end the commission has pre- pared blanks for reports to be filled in by the companies, which are required to state the amount of the businass trans- acted, names of officers, stockholders, shares of stock and by whom held, bonds, relations to other lines, leased lines, etc. All of these reports should have been last, but the Bellingham Bay and British Columbia Railroad Company (head office in this City) has neglected, failed or re- fused to do so up to the present time. The case was laid before the United Btates Attocney, and yesterday morning Assistant Attorney Knight presented the case to Judge McKenna of the United petition for a writ of mandamus to com- pel the derelict company to comply with the law and furnish the commission with a report.

A gooa-sized crowd assembled to do| homage to the sport, and the success they | | met with can be gathered by a fleeting glance at the form charts.” The first | choices were all easily subdued and beaten. What the heavy track did not accomplish Mr. Ferguson completed owing to circunmstances over which he had no control. The performance of the 100 to 1 shot Anpto takes rank over all the other acts.
