The American Bark Empire Is Now Unloading Coal at Sausalito. | !Pilut Jordan, Who Has B:en a Con. firmed Smoker, Doing Penance for Voting for Bryan. | The American bark Empire docked at " the North Pacific Coast Company’s wharf at S usalito yesterday. After discharging | her cargo of coal the vessel will be tied up | in. Richardsons Bay to await better times. | Lying alongside the wharf, with the crew | at work unbending the sails, the Empire presented a very pretty appearance, Dur- ing a storm which was run into the bark | lost her foretop-gallant mast, and that damage will have to be repaired before | she can sgain go to sea, The Harbor Commissioners have put a watch on the ferry tower. Two fat firemen on the river steamers hxve made a wager in regard to the time which they will take to climb the ferry tower and return to Mother Earth. The man who makes the best time gets §5, and his opponent is out | and injured. The contestants are mem- bers of the Hit and Miss Athletic Club, b | taking any chances on a probable acci- | dent. | " Alec Stewart, the champion of the ferry- | steamer Bay City, weighs 319 pounds, and Frank Sullivar. the champion of the Modoc, weighs 308 pounds. In spite of their .| weight each man is unusually active, and quite a number of bets have been made the men will climb the tower and get to the foundation again in less than If the men make the climb they will have to do 1t on the sly, as from this on a watchman will keep watch vent the contest. The Oceanic Steamship Company’s Zea- landia will not get away on time. The English mail is late and will not get here until late on Friday night, so the chances ave that it will be early Saturday morning instead of Thursday afternoon before the od ship gets away on her run to Aus- { tralasia. In the meantime the cargo has d, | been pouring into her until now she is | loaded down with machinery, canned fruit, | canned salmon, broomcorn, doors, whisky, and, stranee to say, starch. The latteris a trial shipment, and is consigned to Syd- ney, N. 8. W. Should it prove successful another industry will have been started in California. Since the Zealandia bas been put in commission the heads of the various de- partments have been hara at work getting her shipsbape. Chief Officer Rennie has seen to it that the vessel has been putin | first-class order. Chief Engineer Keller | has looked over and put in thorough order the engines and boilers, and Chief Stew- | ard Hannigan has made the dining-room, | social hall and staterooms look as well as | | those on the Australia, and that is saying a good deal. The Zealandia will take out | a full passenger hst, and all who go on her may be sure of a pleasant voyage and the best of treatment. The Pacific Mail Company’s Peru leaves | for Honolulu on Thursday, and the Zea- | landia will not get away until late Friday night or early Saturday morning. In spite of the handicap the boys on the | Zealandia are willing to give odds that the Peru will not beat their vessel twelve hours into Honolulu, Charley Peterson, the well-known boat- man and brother of Henry Peterson, the oarsman, is about to become a benedict. In a week or so he 1s to be married to Miss Louisa Johuson and everybody along. the | water iront is now congratulating the | happy man. When the wedding takes | place the Amy and Athlete will be in gala attire ana the guests of the bride and groom will be taken on a moonlight ex- | cursion around the bay. |~ 1f the men in the confidence of Gover- | nor Budd know anything the next Harbor | Commissioner will be Mark Tarpey. He | will succeed Commissioner Cole and wili | thus fill the chair of as faithful a servant | as the State has ever had. Just whether | Mr. Tarpey will take the position or not | remains to be seen. His mines in Mexico claim & great deal of his time and he may | refuse the appointment on that account. | Still the knowing ones say that next | Marci the Harbor Commissioners will be Coinon, Chadbourne and Tarpey. The Miltonburn is the pioneer of a fleet that will leave here during this month for Australia. There is no chance for a char- ter party from here before next July, and in consequence abont fifteen vesseis will go to Newcastle, N. S | for this port at 12 shiilings a ton. When the grain season opens again they will have a fair chance to get fair rates between here and Europe. There are two_ Jordans on the list of pilots, and one is called “Big” Jordan, {and the other ‘‘Little” Jordan. *Big” | Jordan at the present time is the most miserable man on earth. He is an iuvet- | erate smoker, and ot one of his acquaint- | ances can ever rememberseeing him with- | outa cigar in his mouth. When Bryan | lost the election Jordan bad to quit smok- | ing with the new year and abstain for six | months. Now everybody that meets him | on Change has a package of chewing gum on hand in order to console the unfortun- ate pilot. Never in al! his life has Jordan | had so many free cigars offered him, but | still he has the satisfaction of knowing | that should he last out the six months, Dillon will give him the best chronome- ter in his shop.

All Their Efforts Are to Be Concentrated to Insure That Result. Juige Kerrigan Says Judge Dunne and Others Will Go Up to Make the Fight. The wheelmen want but one thing from the present Legislature. They want to have the bicycle recognized as baggage, that it may be carried free as such on the railroads of this State. Every effort will be concentrated upon | the so-called baggagefbill to insure its pus- i sage. One man is aiready on the ground | at Sacramento looking out for the inter- |ests of the wheelmen and keeping the Jeague officials informed, and another will probably soon go to the capital from this City. \%‘hen the different committees of the Legislature shall bave been named and the time shall have arrived for the hear- ing of proposed bills a special delegation will go from here and advance arguments in favor of the baggage bili. 1t will be clearly and forcibly explained to the com- mittee in order that a: the outset it may recsive proper indorsement before it shall | come to a vote, Speaking last night of the legislation desired by the cyclists, Judge Frank H. Kerrigan, consul of the League of Ameri- can Wheelmen, said: *The wheeimen throughout the State will concentrate their fight upon what is sometimes known as the Armstrong bag- | gage bill. 1tisa bill permitting a passen- | ger to carry his bicycle, his guncase, his | valise, or his trunk as baggage without charge. No mention is made of a bicycle, but the bill is so worded that all such articles as a person is in the habit of carrying with him may come under the head of allowable baggage not exceeding | the weight limit. “Baggage-bill planks were introduced into the platforms of all the political parties not only in the municipal conven- tions but in ail the subdivisions of the | State. We saw to that. Each party is pledged to support the bill, ‘‘We have voters enough to carry it. The only thing that can beat it is the possibie trading of some of taese votes to the rail- | road in exchange for the support by the | railroad of certain interior matters for | which support may be desired. The ques- | vion is, Does the railroad care enough | abovt it to trade votes? But we are going | to keep a careful lookout. Dwyer, one of | our men, is up there now. He is one ot | the clerks; has been for several years, He | will keep his eyes open. Then Percy V. Long, a representative of the league, will go up shortly to introduce the bill. When the proper committee 1s ready to heara discussion of the bill several’ men will go up from here—Judge Dunne and some others—and will see that the thing is properly explained and understood. | *As for the good roads bill, that will be attended to primarily by the State Burean of Highways, and supported, of course, by | the wheelmen.” POLIOE STOPPED THE OROWD Yesterday at the Great Closing Out Sale of Armand Cailleau. There was such a larze crowd that thousands were turned away without being able to get into the store. Mr. Cailleau nad about forty extra salespeople, vet the police had to be there to oversee the people. At the rate the goods were going the sale will not last long. —————— They Want 100 Per Cent, The Retsil Grocers' Association has in- structed Secretary Flieger to forward toall the known creditors of Levin Bros. copiesofa circular, previously prepared, urging them not 10 accept from the embarrassed firm any set- tlement save upon a basis of 100 cents on the doilar. The circular 2lso been presented 1o the Board of Trade, Levin Bros. have not yet submitted any proposition whatever to their creditors. The ccmmittee of adjusters at present engaged on behalf of the Board of Trade in taking &n in- ventory of the stock in the firm’s several stores will probably not be able to make a re- vort within a week. Pending this report the creditors say they can take no formal action. —————— Johnson Bests MoCormack. “Young” McCormack and Christian John- son, welter-weights, met at a place on Tele- graph Hill last night to fight to a finish for a jurse of $250.

The annual meeting of the Judges of the Superior Court was held yesterday, all the Judges except Judge Daingerfield, who is trying a case in Santa Rosa, being present. Judge J. M. Seawall of Department 1 was chosen Presiding Judge for the en- suing year. Rules 14 and 18 were amended so that they read as follows: Rule 14. When a demurrer to a complaint or cross-com plaint is overruled by the court and leave is given to answer, no' more then ten out the written consent cf the adverse party or his attorney; and if the complaint or cros comp!aint is unverified, léave to answer shall '?Tt e given unless an affidavit of merits be file When it appears that a demurrer is frivolous and was interposed for delay, the court may impose the payment of costs, not exceeding $20, to the adverse party as a condition of ienve to answer. Rule 18, Noorderextending the time within which any act is required by law to Ae done shall be made which, by its terms or in con- nection with any other order or orders or any stipulation, shall operate to extend such time more than ihirty days beyond the time given aw.

MILLIONS N & COURT DECISION After Eight Years of Liti- gation A. B. Bowers Wins His Suit. The Most Important Patent Case Ever Tried on This Coast. About Forty Cases for Infringement Pending on the Issue—Big Con- tracts Are Involved. By a decision of the United States Ci cuit Court of Appeals, handed down yes- terday, A. B. Bowers virtually owns a monopoly of the hydraulic dredging busi- ness. The decision Mr. Bowers estimates as worth a trifle above six millious to him—all the way from six to fifteen millions, The decision came in the suit of Bowers against von Schmidt—which is one among many cases—but the decision is supposed to end nearly all the otbers. The lan- guage of the decision is that Mr. Bowers is the original inventor of the hydraulic dredger and that his patents are entitled to broad and liberal construction. The fight has been going on for eight years, and testimony has been taken suffi- cient to cover 2477 large printed pages. The suit which was concluded yester- day was begun in November, 1888, In July, 1894—six years Iater—a decision was Tendered by Judge McKenna in favor of Bowers. An appeal was taken, and pend- ing the decision of the Court of Appeals a great deal of work has been tied up, as | well as other litigation stayed. Judges Ross and Gilbert participated in the) deiision. 0u dk Hay betas aisquali- fied through his having decided certain minor points in the same case. No less than eighteen suits are now in the courts against alleged infringements of these patents, and some twenty others are about to be entered. Among the for- mer are suits against the Pacific Improve- ment Company, the American Dredging Company, the Oakland Iron Works, the New York Dredgidg Company, the San Francisco Bridge Company, Pacitic Coast Dredging and Reclamation Company, American Hydraulic Dredging Compeny, Lindon W. Bates, Hydraulic Dredging and Improvement Company and the City | of Oakland. Tbis involves a check to a mumber of big contracts, notably the dredging of the Oaxland harbor, the big drainage canal at Chicago and the dredging of ‘‘the city waterway'’ in the haroor of Tacoma. These big jobs, undertaken by rival companies with the objectionable dredg- ers, may not be stopped, to be sure, but they will have to go forward on a basis of settlement with Bowers. The decision is very far-reaching. It will put dredging, so far as it is done by hydraulic suction dredging, in the hands of A. B. Bowers, and this not only appiies to the work going on in this country and to go on, but to big contractsin the har- bors of the world, notably some in Japa- nese and Russian- harbors, contracts for which are about to be awarded. The big work being done at Tacoma has been practically awaiting this aecision. An appiication was made in the courts there by Bowers for a preliminary injunc- tion on the strength of the decision of Judge McKenna, but it was depied. This decision will serve to secure the injunc- tion. The work there is being done by the New York Dredging Company. The work in Oakland harbor is being done by the San Francisco Bridge Company. The attorneys for Mr. Bowers in this, said to be the most imporiant patent case ever tried on this coast, were John H. Miller and John L. Boone. The brieis on file in the Circuit Court were presented by Mr. Miller. The long fight made by Mr. Bowers, and which means millions to him, has been fought for much of the time under great financial embarrassment. The defendants in the suits still to be brought include corporations, private in- |- dividuals, United States engineers and the United Btates Government. It is likely, however, that compromises will be effected and that they will be required to pay a royalty for using their dredgers. The cost of a hydraniic dredger of the Bowers type is about $40,000, g0 that it may be found cheaper to pay royalty than 10 throw tbe big machines away that are decreed to be infringements. Heirs to a Snug Estate. Last Christmas Elizabeth Ballara was found dead in her home in Providence, R. L, her husband having died a fow days before. An open letter was by her side addressed to her niece, Miss Elizebeth Napier, 256 Eighth street, this City, who with her widowed mother are thought to be the only heirs of the Ballards. The property of the Ballards com- prises a house and ict and some other real es- tate in Providence, and the estafe is under- stood to be valued' at $6000 or $7000. Mrs. Nepier has written East to the Providetice au- thorities claiming the estate. As yet she has received 1o particulars concerning its value.

They Would Not Caucus With the Raineyites Regarding Patronage. Police Court Clerks and Proseculing Attorneys S:lected by the “Organization.” There was no caucus of Supervisors last night, as many politicians expected. Nothing remained to be done, and they were all atsca about one little thing or another—or in other words, sometiing After the open meeting the only thing remaining unset- tled—at least so far as the Democratic ma- jority was concerned—was that trifling matter of places on the Hospital Commit- tee of the board. This committee is al- ready under the control of the physicians, bus some difficulty has peen experienced in getting a third man to serve with them. Seven of the Rainey Supervisors in cau- cus voted to relinquish their prerogative of appointing various City employes. To come nearer tle truth, the solid seven (pro tempore)—Supervisors Rottanzi, De- lany, Devany, Haskins, Rivers, Sheehan and Britt—decided finally in formal man- ner to give “the patronage to the organ- ization,”’ meaning the privilege of select- ing City clerks and officials to Boss Rainey. One of the most important duties falling to the Supervisors’ lot is this selection of men to perform City work. Rulo and | precedent make it incumbent on the ap- pointed officers to select with care, hon- estly and intelligently these employes of the municipality, and, indeed, this very duty is encompassed in the pledge made by the Supervisors. But the first act almost of the solid seven (pro tem.) is the open violation of this daty to the City. Instead of choosing proper persons they leave that part of the municipal business to Boss Rainey. The first serious inkling of a rumpus, which could not be overlooked, became apparent Saturday night when the seven ring Sapervisers mset at Boss Rainey’s beck in Dr. Rottanzi’s offices at Third and Folsom streets. This caucus began shortly after 8 o’clock Saturday evening and came toa close at 1 A. M. Sunday. Drs. Clinton and Dodge were absent, the former at a banquet in the California Hotel given by the retiring Board of Edu- ation to the incoming School Directors, and as for Dr. Dodge, he was attending to his own business. Neither of them would have anything to do with the caucus. ‘ They gave it the glassy eye. But as there could not be a consultation of physi- cians Dr. Rottanzi prescribed medicine to steady the nerves and allay the mental disturbance of his colleagues. The doss was to be taken repeatedly: ‘‘Sp. Fru- ment1, two fingers; aqua Spring Valley, nit.” 'Spring Valley was good enough to toast on such an occssion. As the story | goes there was no other consolation and the solid seven (pro tem.) voted to let Rainey select the men for City Hall offices. Supervisors Clinton and Dodge, it now appears, told their Democratic brothers of the board that they would positively ob- ject to allowing any one except the board | itself to make the appointments. This was their duty to the people and their right. And so the Democratic majority of nine came to be badly demoralized, for Dodge and Clinton took a stand for the right. The two Supervicors have parted company with the Rainey seven, and may be looked for to appear as independent in their voting. It leaked out lagt night that the solid majority would "be larger than seven, witn Dodge and Ciinton out of it asa re- spectable minority. Anyhow, the cheer- ing additional fact was stated in this con- nection—the Spring Valley pipes will be safe, The Police Court prosecuting attorneys have been named. They are E. P. Mogan, Robert Mann, Charles F. 0'Callaghan and Charles A. Reynolds, Frank Drury was withdrawn in favor of Reynolds, but there still was some doubt about this office, as Spinetii’s chances improved considerably yesterday through the influence of the Fire Department. The Police Court clerks have been se- lected as follows: Samuel Kohlman, who was in Block’s office; Joseph Hayes of the Forty-second district, and now in the Sheriif’s office; Thomas Farrell, the Sixth- street plumber, and Captain John Foley of the Foruy-fifth district. Foley claims be got the district from Gavin McNab, and his appointment insures. the Forty-fifth in the Rainey column—to the victor, etc. The assistant or warrant clerks were not NEW TO-DAY.
