Brokers Making Fat Commis- sions Out of the Super- visors’ Delay. Auditor Broderick Says That the Board Has No Right to Hold Back the Funids. Unless the Board of Supervisors allows the payment of the rebate on taxes paid in the early months of this year to begin on December 2 it is probable that it will have a large-sized storm about its ears. A large number of those who have claims against the City on this score are quietly arranging a pooling of interests with the ultimate object of beginning proceedings to compel the board to allow the payment of the rebate: During the months of March, April, May and June of this year about 29,000 pro erty-owners paid their taxes on the $2 25 rate fixed by the Supervisors last year and became entitled to a rebate when the Supervisors fixed a lower rate for this year. The law says that taxpayers who have paid a higher rate than the one fixed by the Supervisors shall be entitled toa re- bate inimediately on presentation of their receipts after the Auditor has computed the amount due them, and that the Treasurer must pay their demands at | once. The Auditor’s accounts, showing the amount due each of the 29,000 taxpayers, | have begn finished and ready for use fora | month past, but owing to the action of the | Supervisors have never been used. The | attorney emploved by the board to collect | delinquent taxes r-commended some time | ago that the rebates due those who were | delinquent in former years be held as pay- | ment for the delinguencies, and the board | ordered that the paymeut of rebates be de- | terred until December 2, the legality of the proceeding to be looked into in the mean- t.me. The money tied up by the resolu- tion aggregates $175,000, and those to whom it belougs are growing anxious about it. A large number have, been still further alarmed about ihe payment of tneir claims by receiving vostal cards on which was printed the following: You are entitléd to . rebate on the taxes which you paid last spring. It will probably be monihs, if ever, before this rebate is finally aid and there wiil be over 35,000 claimants n line. I am ready 1o pay cash for your claim now. There will be no delay, no wait- ing for months and in the end s:anding in line for houfs. if .you bring your 1896 receipt.to this office and gel your cash from me at once. w. 130 Mills building, It is said. that Musaus and others who are engaged in the same business are backed by « syndicate, which has pat up | the ca~h to buy several thousand claims and expects to make from $30,000 to $50,000 out of the transactior. B The average offer when claimants call to sell .heir claims is about 50 per cent, q:ar profit, as the.only form to go throtugh is to present tue re- ceipt, get an order on the treasury and draw the money. Auditor Broderick said yesteraay that in bis opinidn the board had no right to hold rebates to pay delinquent taxes, and that if the delinguent tax collector wants to earn his commiissions he has a regular legal way through the courts. *'These people have been out their money for an average of seven monilkis,” he said, “and the cash has beéen lyingidle in the treasury, when it might have been draw- ing interest or used in business. Tt looks a little like standing them up to keep them out of their just dues in this way. Thelaw on the matter is plain, and I see trouble ahead for the City if the money is not released on December 2. The only ones who are benefiting by this delay, as far as 1 can see, are the brokers who are buying up the claims.” Those who are arranging for action a-ainst the City are reticent about the matter, but state that they will do noth- ing until after December 2, when the de- lay caused by tie board’s resolution ex- pires. : The action, iI any is commenced, will take the form of an injunction against the Supervisors from interfering further in the distribution of the rebates.

Property - Owners Want The Old British Bark Gainsborough (Now the Diamond Head), That Went on a Coral Reef and Was Afterward Salved, Leaving Honolulu for San Francisco. On Her Arrival Here She Will Go on the Drydock for Repairs and Will Then Bz Put A NEW [SLAND SUGAR VESSEL She Will Be Named Dia- mond Head on Her Arrival Here. The Monowai Struck Rough Weather on Her Last Trip to Honolulu. Loie Fuller Visits the Water Front. Arrival of the Oceanic Steam.- ship Australia. The British bark Gainsborough is on her way to San Francisco. After going ashore on the reef near Diamond Head, at Honolulu, she was got off and temporary repairs were made. On her arrival here she will go on the drydock and be thor- oughly overbauled, after which she will go hence to Honrolulu under the Hawaiian flag. Her pame will be changed from the Gainsborough to the Diamond Head, and like her sister ship, the Roderick Dhu, she will be known as a *‘sugar boat.”” The accompanying sketch shows the Gainsborougn leaving Honolulu for San Trancisco with Diamond Head in the dis- tance. Chief Officer Lawless of the Aus- tralia says that the bark will have to be riveted from the keel up to the turn of the bilge and that new garboard strakes will have to be put on. Other work will have to be done and the Diamond Head will be several weeks on the drydock here before she is ready for service again. The Oceanic Steamshiff Company’s Aus- tralia arrived from Honolulu yesterday morni ng with the following passengers: C. M. Cooke, wife and child; Mrs Captain M. Foley and son, George W. Heintz, R. C. Scott, Hon. James McCudden, Captain John Fitzgerald rester, W. Lewers, Miss K. McCudden, M Keliogg, 8. rane, William Wilder, J. M. Maxwell and wife, J. A, Kennedy, Miss M. Hitcheock, Frank Vida, L. A. De la Nux and wife, Rev. J. P. Lytton, F. G. Pochin, B. F. Schoen, Mrs. 8. Levi. The voyage was an uneventful one, ex- cept that on the 25th inst. one of the En :- lish tramps that left here a few days ago was passed in latitude 31.35 north, longi- tude 139.22 west. The tramp has a load of wheat for Calcutta and is making good time. The Australia brings the news of the heavy weather encountered by the Mono- wai. The vessel left here with a heavy deckload, and encountered a storm on her way to Honolulu. Two waves struck her in rapid succession and made sad havoc with the carzo on the forward deck. One of three large boilers lashed to the deck as freight was carried away, being lost overboard and considerable damage was done to the pilot-house. About twenty-five feet of the starboard rail was also carried away and the steerage flooded with water. During thirty-six hours the Monowai was kept under half speed, barely holding her own against the fury of the storm. By Manday morning, the 16th inst., the wind had abatea and the remainder of the trip was pleasant!y made. I. K. James, the popular chief steward of the Ausiraiia, has made his last sea trip_as an official. Next week he starts for New Orleans to assume command of one of the largest winter hotels in. the Southern metropolis. On the last trip Mr. James was presented with several pieces of jewelry and a “purse of sover- eigns,” besides a laudatory testimonia! as to his qualifications as a caterer. Mr. James has been ‘with the Oceanic Steamship Company for years, and he has always been considered one of the most popular officers in the empioy. His place on ihe Australia will be taken by J. Seeley of the Pucific Coast Steamship Company’s Pomona. The latter was brought up in the employ of Goodall, Perkins & Co., having worked his wav up to the Ens:uun of chiet of the Walla Walla from that of cabin boy. Thg whaleback City of Everett had con- siderdble trouble getting away from Main- street wharf yesterday. The Washtenaw was docking and the whaleback backin, out. The two vessels narrowly e-capefi coming together and the Everett struck the dock. Very little damaze was done, but the escape was a narrow one. Captain David Wallace of the City of Topeka is on the sck list and Captain Hunter of the Umatiila will take his place on the Alaskan route. In the meantime Captain Thomas will remain on the Mex- ico, on tte Puget Sound route, until the Umatilla is once more ready for sea. La Loie Fuller was the center of attrac- tion on the water front yesterday, She toox the Pacitic Mail Company’s steamers by storm and pow wears the buttons of Captain Smith of the City of Peking and Captain Frank Johnson of the City of Sydney on her watchchain. Miss Fuller has a penchant for collecting buttons, and in consequence Corporal Cockrili of the Harbor Eolic and Superintendent Ander- son of the Mail dock are both seeking to match missing links on their overcoats. Miss Fuller and her mother were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Schwerin. Mrs. Eliicot and Herr Stevens, Miss Fuller's manager, were also among the guess, The officers of the two big steamers were in full uniform, and the company’s tug was sent to Mission-street wharf to bring the guests to the Mail dock. Miss Fuller thoroughly inspected the Peking, and mede up her mind to make the trip to China on her. Ffrom Hongkong she will 0 to Peking and dance before Li Hung “hang and the Emperor. On the return trip she will dance before the Mikado, ana will probably return to 8an Francisco with several foreign orders keeping the cap- tain’s buitons company in her watch chain, The men on the Beluga are at outs with the Pacific Steam-whalin: Company. They assert that they have not been paid in full and are seeking to recover what they consider their just dues. They have engaged an attorney. The men say they have not been given anything like fair i treatment and that when cailed upon they will teil all about the alleged smug- gling of rifles and whisky into Alaskan waters by whalers.

Under the Hawaiian Flag. HE KEPT THB ON HI RESCUERS Gustave A, Lundblad Jumped Overboard From the El Capitan. After a Long Delay He Was Finally Rescued by the Steamer’s Crew. Floated Ten M nutes and Looked at His Watch to See How Long the Men Took. The old ferry steamer El Capitan is again in trouble. A few wecks ago she was placed on the narrow-gauge route to succeed the Enciral. The latter in the meantime was to be overhauled and put in thorough repair for the winter. In- stead of being put back on her usual run the Encinal was relegated to the creek route, and ever since there has been trouble. The El Capitan was totally in- adequate 10 supply the rush at morning and evening, and when Captain Rogers was assigned to the boat he insisted upon an extra number of seats being put aboard. Other changes were made during his on the Work Done by the Men Cry of “Man Overboard” Had watch, and the passengers are now able to travel in comfort, but when it comes to life-saving the El Capitan is sadly defi- cient. Yesterday. while the ferry-boat was on her usual noonday run from the narrow- gauge mole to San Francisco, Gustave A. Lundblad jumped overboard. He is con- nected with the Contra Costa Laundry and is well known to shipping men on the water front. It was at least four minutes before the captain of the Ei Capitan was notitied of the attempted suicide, and it was at least four minutes more before a boat was lowered. In the meantime women wrung their hands and the wail from one end of the ship to the ot er was general. Stronz men cursed the deckhands and many a fist was shook in Captain Brooks' face because he did not lower a boat. All the latter could say was: “Gentle- men, I am doing everything possible to save the man. You may not perceive it, but the boat is going full speed astern. She was going full speed ahead when the news reached the pilot-house, and, of course, the headway has 1o be overcome. The boat is gatherine sternway, and to lower a boat now would mean loss of time, as the tide will carry it up the bay. The sieamer can beat a rowboat, anyway, and if you will keep quiet we will do all we can.’ The captain of the El Capitan was as good his word, and ten minutes later the man who made all the trouble was in the stoke iiole of the steamer, with every stitch of clothes off and his teeth going like castanets. ) The would-be suicide, Gustave A. Lund- blad, is emvioyed by the Contra Costa Launary and lately has been drinking. A couple of days ago he went qver 10 Ala- meda to enjoy himself and yesterday on the advice of his friends started for home. Just how the crazy idea entered his head NEW TO-DAY.

Hedroppea rigistin front of the revolving wheel and yet bobbed up astern as if though nothing had hap- vened. When picked up he had his watch in his hand nmrloakinz at the time re- marked to the men who came to rescue him :’"Mine gracious! you fellars are very slow.” He had a heavy overcoat and beavy un- derclothing, nevertheless he did not even lose a single garment, nor was he ex- hausted when pulled into the steamer’s boat. “How did it happen?” he was asked by a reporter. 5 “Well, don’t you see I failed overboard, was the answer. “‘Well, how did you fall overboard? “Now, I don’t shust know, but I tinks I had baif a yag on. Yes, by jimmy, I tinks I had three-quarters of a yag on,and when I sat on the rail of the steamer I falls overboard. Mine gracious! but it was cold, and then I forgets ail about the whisky and thinks or getting aboard the ship agamn. I had a flask in my pocket, and when it got cold Itook adrink and feels better. I never expected the boat to stop and took out my watch to figure on how many minutes I bad tolive, and then T saw the- steamer backing up and hope revived. Then I knew I had nothing to fight but the cold, so I folded my arms and floated. My hat came along and [ grabbed 1t and put iton my head, soI came aboard just the same as I left, only a wetter and a wiser man.” Lundblad made another trip on the El Capitan. One of the firemen supplied him with some underciothing, and the chief officer made him take a good drink of whisky out of his own (Lundblad’s) flask. A few hours later he was feeling as well as ever, and the vessel was as good to bim as a home. When his clothes were dried he started ashore, and assured Captain Brooks that 'he would go to his lodgings. It was fully eight minutes (many of the passengers say twelve minutes) before Lundblad was picked up. He passed un- der the port wheel, wore a heavy over- coat, was in the icy water all the time, ana yet is alive. A CaLw artist was the center of the excited group of passengers who watched the would-be suicide rise and fall with the backwash from the El Capitan, and take out his watch to ascertain the time of day. Just how the man escaped and lives to tell the story is a mystery. THE FAIR CASE. Deeds Photographed—A Request for Their Unconditional Possession. Another Deposition. Yesterday morning Delmas & Shortridge, out of courtesy to Pierson & Mitcheli and Garret McEnerney, permitted Experts Ames and Cavallo to photograph certain deeds from the late Senator, Fair to Mrs. Craven. In the alternoon Delmas &- . Shortridge received notice of a request for an order on an affidavit of Reuben H. Liloyd, requiring the firm to submit the'. deeds to the inspection of any counsel and . under any conditions, even to ti.e ‘extent of taking the deeds out of the possession of the present holders, which it is under- stood nu court would permit. In the matter of the case of Caldwell vs. Fair Delmas & Shortridge yesterday served notice of the taking of the deposition of Charles L. Fair next Thursday. One of the points to be ascertained was the as- surance that Fair had promised to return certain letters lent to him, and also that a formal demand for their return had been served upen him-—the contrary having been asserted.

There has probably never been a phy- sician or surgeon in San Francisco who was so liberally patronized by the sick and suffering, and at the same so highly praised by them, as the dist nguished specialist, Doctor Cook, whose offices are permanently locat-d at 865 Market street. His private consultation rooms are daily visited by people not only of San Fran- cisco, but from all over the West. They come. from every station of life. Among them are bankers, lawyers, merchants, mechanics, ministers, farmers, laborers and literary gentlemen, many of whom have repeatedly sought relief from other physicians, and have repeatedly met with disappointments. ‘While they go to Doctor Cook full of disease and despondency, they come away from him full of hope, confidence and joy, and feeling better in every way. From that very hour they begin to permanently improve.
