CAME UP WITH LIGHT BALLAST The German Ship Othmar- schen Made a Quick Run. Came Here From Iqaique With Only 500 Tons of Stif- fening. Three Vessels Racing Neck and Neck on a Voyage to Eaglish Ports. The German ship Othmarschen got in yesterday after a number of narrow e<capes from destruction. Captain Seizer showed his +kill as a navigater and proved that he was a cool-headed sailor by bringing his vessel into port in one of the quickest pas- sages on record. The Othmarschen sailed for Iquigue in ballast to load nitrate for Europe. When the vessel was off the port a letter 1o the captain was put aboard ordering him to San Francisco. This made Selzerdo some choice cu g (in Germar:), as in anticipa- tion of loading at Iquique he had thrown overboard 300 tons of his ballast, in order to save expenses in removing it when' the vessel was docked. When the start was made for San Francisco, therefore, the Othmarschen was flying light with only 500 tons of ballast in her hold. Being a 1750-ton vessel, it required careful naviga- tion to bring her Into port. Captain Selzer bad the upper yards sent down, but never- theless made the run to San Francisco in the very guick time of forty-nire days. Off the port he ran into a southeaster, and set just enough canvas to keep the ship head reaching until a tug came along and brought the ship into port. The Othmar- schen will load wheat for Europe. The Harhor Commissioners held quite a lengthy session yesterday. The ferry de- pot came up for discussion, and the mat- ter of the terminus of the Vailey road in China Basin was referred to the atiorney. In the ferry depot case several chunges, as recommended by the architect, were or- dered ‘made, but in the other case there was some discussion, President Celnon said that according to report the Valley road had sold its riehts in China Basin. He thought there was a misunderstanding question was only leased to the Vailey road on certain conditions. He would like to know if the road had complied with the conditions of the contract. Commissioner Cole wanted to know if the directors of the road had mads any improvements, and Cuief Engineer Holmes said that some viles had been driven. D On the motion of Commissioner Cole the board’s attorney was instructed to look into the matter and report at Tuesday’s meeting. The Commissioners think that ihe reported transter of the Valiey road’s inte:est in China basin is a canard. Goodall, Perkins & Co. complained about I is all hills and hollows, and a few days ugo one of the carters.was thrown from his wagon and a loxd of paper was thrown on_top of him. He was not seriously injured. The matier was referred to the superintendent of urgent repairs. The guestion of creosoted piles came up and the contractors were allowed $1 a pile extra for the work entailed in hauling the timbers out of the water, then barking them and putting them back again, Chief Engineer Holmes explained .that even under the proposed advance the company was losing money, but Mr. Dundon, presi- dent of the creosoting works, said he was willing 10 lose a certain amont on every coutract in order to get the process thor- oughly tested. Afterward President Col- non expressed himself as of the opinion that had creosoted piles been used in the construction of all the State wharves enough money would have been saved to build the rest of the seawall. Captain Baron of the Evesham Abbey, which arrived Wednesday night, wants to get a boat into to-morrow’s regatta. He hes an unusually good boat’s crew ana is confident that his men will beat all com- ers. He will find at least twenty skippers who will give him odds that his boat doesn’t come in 1, 2, 3. The captains, officers and men of the warehips and sailing vessels that anchor off Fo:som-street wharf are clamoring for an electric light at the landing-place. When there is no moon_the place is the most diemal spot on the front, and saiiors avoid it. A petition to the Harbor Com- missioners to have a light placed near the float is now being signed, and the chances are that the much needed change will be made. The apron at Second-street slip broke anwn yesterday, and in consequence the Southern Pacitic’s transfer boats could not run. The general merchandise was taken over on the creek ronte. The British ships Ross-shire for London and *Cromartysuire for Queenstown and the American ship Puritan for Hull all sailed from here on November 21 last. On the 1st inst. all three were in a line in latitude 12 deg. 30 min. north, longitude 118 deg. ‘west, and were spoken by the British ship Inveramsay, which got in yesierday, The Oceanic Steamship Company’s Mari- posa got in yesterday, with the following cabin passengers: Sydney—R.

In addition to considerable personal property are a number of notes and morigaces. The value . of the estate 1s placed at $269,390 24. Judge Sanderson yesterday decided that the . glove contest in which Fitzsimmons and Sharkey toox part wasa prize-fight, and that the participants are indictable and the spect tors lawbreakers.

One of the Most Fnjoyable Events in the History of the Organization. Special Reference Made to the Pro- posed Monument to Robert Burns. The thirty-first annual reunion ard banquet of the Caledonian Club, held in Scottish Hall last night, was an immense success in every respect. The hall was filied with members of the club and their ladies aud guests, who all spent a most delighttul evening. Among those present were: Chief D. R. McNelll, Miss Viva C. McNeill, Frank T. Shea, Jeremiah Deasy, W. Waison, Dr. D. Maclean, Dr. G. S. Backman, James T. McDonald, James A. McKay and wife, Captain McNeil and wife, William McKay, Colih M. Boyd, Mr. and Mrs, John McLaren, J. McNab, Mr. and Mrs. James Scobie, Mr. and Mrs. John Mr. and Mrs. George Davidson, Miss Jen- dson, Miss Jennié Brown, Golonel C. L. Taylor, . McGilvray Andrew Mc Mr. and Mrs. W. Mr. and ) Meredith, Sergeant John Duncan and wife, Mr. and _Mrs. John M. Duncan, Sergeant 1. W. Bethell, Robert S. Duncan, Mr. and Mrs. James Dun- can, Miss Elsie Duncan, Miss Jennie Duncen, Mr.’and Mrs. William Nichol, Mr. and Mrs. C. Lawsen, James McLea, Miss Belle McLea, Miss Edith Henderson, Mr. and Mrs. George Bethune, Miss Fannie Rigodia. Toe hall was tastefully draped with bunting and above the chief and the prin- cival guests was displayed the Scottish flag with lions rampant and on each side the stars and stripes. During the evening special reference was made by several of the speakers re- garding the proposition to erect a monu- ment to Scotland’s bard, Robert Burns, in Go'den Gate Park, and each reference to the subject was greeted with rousing cheers, which augurs well for the consum- mation of the scheme. It wasannounced by Chief McNeill that it will be formally taken up and discussed at the regular meeting of the club next month. After the company had assembled the formal installation” of the officers was made by Colonel C, L. Tayior as follows: Chief, D. R, McNeill; first chieftain, John Reid; second chieftain, George Davidson; third chieitain, James H. Duncan; fourth chieftain, John W. Cameron; physician, Dr. J. A. J. McDonald. After the installation ceremony the mas- ter of ceremonies, ex-Chief Angus Mec- Leod requested Chief McNeill to make a presentation to George Mitchell, the retir- ing fourth chieftain. The chief, in a few well-chosen words, presented to Mr. Mitchell a beautiful diamond ring from theclub as a token of its appreciation of his four years’ services as financial secre- tary, and the recipient made a suitavle reply. «I'nis ended the business part of the pro- ceedings, and the company sat down to the festive board. The menu was up to the usual high standard of the Cale- donians, and included the ‘“‘haggis,” its appearance, preceded by Piper Neil Lind- say, being greeted with rounds of ap- plause. Then “hot Scotch” was brought on the table and the literary part of the programme was commenced. Chief McNeill in his address spoke of the objects and aims of the club and its success in the past year. It was the in- tention of the officers to carry on the good work, and their cry would be upward and onward. ‘We have now,” said the chief, *ar- rived at a period when the'e is nothing particular to do asa club. We have a hall of our own and a satisfactory income. ‘What, then, shall we do with our money and time? ‘ “Individually most of us have ample use for both, but as a club we have noth- ing special on hand. This brings up the suggestion made several years ago by ex- Chief Colin M. Boyd, to erect a monu- ment in Golden Gate Park to Scotland’s sweetest bard, nay the world’s sweetest bard, Robbie Burns [cheers]. [ am much pleased at the cordial manner in which you have received the sugges- tion, which confirms me in the be- lief that if the Caledonian Club makes up its Caledonian mind the monu- ment will be erected. If the club once takes hold of it 1t will have, I feel sure, plenty of a-sistance as Robbie Burns is dear to the heart of every one that loves the sweet and beautiful in nature, and is especially dear to the big, liberty loving heart of the American people. The toast list was then taken un, “The President of the United States” and *‘The Queen” were toasted with ail the honors. *The Lsnd We Live In" was responded to | evening and a director will be selected to | fill the place left vacant by the resignation in a neat speech by John D.

Minton was to have replied to the toast of “The Land o’ the Heather,” but sent a note regretting his inability to attend, After the regular list was finished vari- ous speeches were made and songs were rendered by W. C. Cook, Andrew McNair and others. The success of the event was mainly due to the reception committee, comnosed of: John Reid (chairman), Y. C. Lawson, William Mitchell, James Mitlar, W. C. Cook, James McNab, Robert Sutherland, William Urqubart and Peter McIntyre.

The members of the board appointed by Sscretary Herbert of the Navy to select a site for a naval training station on Goat Island, who have arrived here, began their duties yesterday by visiting the island. The board consi:ts of Commander Frank Courti+, Captain A. 8. Barker and Lieu- tenant W. 8. Hughes, of the navy, and Major C. E. Davis of the army. By an act of Congress, which was approved April 24, 1896, a training station for the instruction of enlisted bovs, sailors ana petty officers was to be establis ed on the island. The first mecting was held and then an examination of the plan for asite was made. The training station is to be simi- lar to the station at Newport, R I. By the act of Congress which has been passed the land for the site has been ceded to the Government. An appropriation will be obtained for the school, as is now ex- pected, at thigor the next session. The commission reached no conclusion yesterday, an- it is stated wiil not for sev- eral days. None of the commissioners want to talk about the site or give any details. ——————— Collided With a Yacht. John C. Wilson, owner of the 17-ton pleasure yacht Nathalie, filed a libel in the United States District’ Court against the steamer National City for $103 damages yesterday. The papers recite that on May 15 of this year the yacht was beating out of Oakland Creek, up which the steamer was running at full speed. The pleasure-boat got into close quar- ters and was unable to avoid a collision with the steamer, which, 1t is claimed, did not slack its speed nor make an effort to avoid striking the yacht. The latter was badly damaged. —_———— James Lick Schonl. The closing exercises of the Christmas term of the James Lick Grammar School will be h 1d this afternoon.

FAVOR PAYING FOR THE CITY MAP Supervisors Think That the Labor Performed War- rants It. All Valid Objections Have Been Heard and Carefully Considered. Mayor Suiro Said to Be an Inferested Party in the Fight Against Its Acceptance. In spite of the objections of the Grand Jury and the San Francisco Association of Improvement Clubs and private parties who have protested against the acceptance by the Supervisors ot the new City map, the Street Commi'- tee of the board has decided to recom- mend that the map be paid for at once. Surveyor Tilton took a contract to fur- nish the map for $10,000, and when his work was completed to his own satisiac. tion presented a demand to the Bupervi- sors for the contract price. Mayor Sutro objected to the payment of the §10,000 until the map shouid be examined and reported on by experts, and succeeded in getting a delay of thirty days in the mut- tor. During the past month experts from the Grand Jury and the Association of Im- provement Clubs have examined the map, and both organizations have sent com- munications to the board protesting against the payment of the price on the ground that the work is incompiete and inaccurate. ‘Ibe Street Committee heard Surveyor Tilton on the subject of the map yester- day, and aftér his explanation, instructed Clerk Russell to prepare the following report for the consideration of the board on Monday next: The officiul map has been open for inspection for thizty days, and all valid objections have been considered, and some omissions have been delineated. Various questions have been raised as to certain deuneations and the boundaries of certain tracts, All of these ob- jections are such as require a legal determina- iion, and must certainy remain in abeyunce until adjudicated by the courts.

In view of the labor bestowed upon the map your corrmittee recommends that the map be accegled and the authorization objected to by the Mayor for payment be passed, notwith- stauding the objections of his Honor, one of the most interested parties in the controversy. The payment is made for the map completed according to the official data. The City En- gineer has also volunteered to make all changes which may be required by the board on decisions affccting any locations without further cost or charge, and no more could be expected. It is expected that the committee's re- Eort will be accepted and that Surveyor ilton will receive the money at once. CAUSES OF S:&VERAL DEATHS. Coroner Hawkins Holds Inquests on Four Suicide Cases, Coroner Hawkins was kept very busy yesterday holding inquests upon the bodies of those who recently met with violent deaths. A verdict of suicide was returned by the jury in the case of J. G. Locke, a student, at 2328 Folsom street, who cut his throat in Golden Gate Park a week ago. A similar verdict was returned in the case of James Hamel, a carpenter living at 3422 Eighteenth street, On December 12 be ended his life by turning on the gas. W. J. Trewella became despondent and placed the muzzle of a shotzun to his heart and pressed the trigger with his foot. He lived in the Wisconsin Hotel on Pacific street. A verdict based on tLese facts was given by the jury. The Coroner’s jury was not satisfied with the circumstances surrounding the death of Mrs. Belle McCarthy of 246 How- ard streef, who died in the branch County Jail of natural causes on the 13th inst. In its verdict the jury severely commented upon the fact that the woman had no medical attention from the tiwae she be- came ill, 8 p. M., to the time of her death, at 2 A, M. the next morning.
