A Further Inflation of Prices Here Depends Upon a Better Foreign Rats. F:rmers Hoard Wheat and Call Eoard Warehouses Do Not Represent the Stock. " Hundreds of wheat farmers throuchout the State are happy because of the en- hanced value of the great staple and the prospect that it will become much more valuable than it is to-day. i It was erroneously announced in an aft- ernoon paper yesteriay that local ship- pers were paying $16214 per cental for wheat and that there are but 250,000 tons in the State. “The truth is,’’ said Herman Eppinger of the well-known commission company last night, “that there is more wheat here than people know about. Whether wheat is to go higher depends not on its scarcity, but on whether the foreign market goes higher. to-day are $1 ¢ for the choicest shipping grades, and for the best milling wheat §162)4. Number one sh:pping wheat brings from 634 to $1 5714. “Ii1s wrong to assume that there are but 250,000 tons of wheat in the State, for the stock in call board warehouses does not represent the total product. These warehouses are largely at Stockton, Port Costa and like places, but there are great quantities outside of tnis, much of 1t in the binsand barns of sturdy old farmers and stored away in_small warenouses. “The Produce Exchange took an in- voice on December 1 and found 300,000 tons in the bands of dealers and in cail board warehouses. There are large quans tities of grain in the country and on ranches, considerable of which is offered right along by ranchers and farmers.” A Cavy reporter found that lurge quan- tities of wheat are coming from other Western S:ates, so that the scarcity here isnot at all great, yet greater than for many years “‘Large cfferings are made fram Utah and Idaho,” said Mr. Eppinger last night, “because our prices are higher than the local prices in those regions. T ey can- as by selling here, for the freights eat up more than the difference in price. A strange phase of the question is that ma: sh ships are unable 10 deal in wheat, Ship-owners cannot affcrd to take it at present prices and many of them are taking cargoes of lumber to England, Aus- tralia and the west coast of Bouth Amer- ica. Ships have recenily left this port for Puget Sound becaus: it pays better to carry lumber than wheat ai its present rates, fany dealers are sanguine that prices vill zo higher, yet the generai opinion is that nothing buta great stimulus to the ause prices to go 1 beyond what they are now. Those who lock for an inflation of the forey price count on two factors—a small crop in the wheal-raising areas and a scarcity in the wheat-consumiug countries of the world. LEVIN BROS.' AFFAIRS. es gn The Firm Offers to Settle for 33 1-3 | Cents. There wasan important and well attend- ed meeting yesterday of the committee of seven appointed by the creditors of Levin Bros. to investizate the af- fairs of the ecrippled firm. The ob- ject of the meeting was to hear the re- port of the adjusters who had been em- ployed to examine the boaks of the con- cern and submit a detailed statement of assets and liabilities. The report gave a stated listof every creditor with the amount due him and also of the items comprising the assets of firm. A summary, as published in ALL of yesterday, showed taat the liabilities were nearly $130,000, while the available assets ‘did not exceed $40,000. While this statement was_beiug discussed the attorney for Levin Bros. announced , that he had a proposition to submit to the creditors from the firm whose affairs were under consideration. He stated that Levin Bros. were pre- pared to make a settiement on the basis of 3314 cents on the do Just what form the payment was to take in case tne offer was accepted could not -be learned, but 1t is supposed that there will be a part cash payment and that the balance will be liquidated by indorsed notes. 'ne somewhat unexpected action on the part of the insolveut firm produced a much more considerate feeling to prevail among the creditors. According to the statement submitted by the adjusters, there were assets wortu something less than $40,000. It is estimated that if these were forced upon the market they would not realize more than half their invoice valuation. ‘While some of the creditors are opposed, on sentiment, to any settlement short of 100 cents on the dollar most of them are inclined to take a practical business view of the situation. As one of them said yes- terday: “It would be ioolish to refuse to take one-tnird of what isdue us from the firm and instead force a sale of the assets and then have to be satisfied with about 15 cents on tie dollar.” Before the meeting of the committee of | seven, a committee of three, consisting of | Mr. Lilienthal of the Crown Distilleries Company, J. P. Edoff of Dallemand & Co. and A. L. Whitney of C. E. Whitney, was appointed to present the reportof the adjusiers and the offer of Levin Bros. to the meeting of all the creditors, which is 10 be held at 2:30 p. M. to-day at the rooms of the Board of Trade. ————————— Fulfilled His Threat. v On Wednesday the body of an unknown man was found floating in the bay -off the Lom- bard-street wharf. It was taken to the Morgue, where yesterday it was identified as thatof F. Willlam Scheurich, who lived at 8 Virginia court. He was a shoemaker, and lodged with Phillip Hultin, On November 1 the latter received s leiter from his room- mate, in which Scheurich said that he was g0ing to commit suieide, and he gave his shoe- !nnkmz outfit to Huliin. It was the latter who identified the body. Decensed wes 57 years of age and & Dative of Germany. Atone time he was one of the best bootmakers in this City. haes w3 Alphonse Aiiman Dead.

News Came by the Last Mail That Cholera Was Epidemic in China, CHOLERA 1S NOT RAGING FIERCELY So Say All the Passen- gers on the Steamer Coptic. Neverthe'ess Chinese Steerage Passengers and the Mail, Were Quarantined. Burglaries on the Water Front Are Frequent—A Suit of Sails Stolen Off a Schvoner. There was considerable excitement along the water front yesterday when the Occidental ana Oriental Steamship Com- pany’s Coptic was sighted. Rumors of cholera in China had preceded the vessel ana both the quarantine boats were out to meet her. The company’s tug Millen Griffith was laid up for repairs, so the Spreckels tug Active was pressed into the service, and sbe also went speeding down the bay to meet the incomiung liner. Off Black Point the vessel was inter- cepted and Dr. Blue and Dr. Chalmers made a thorough examination of every person- aboard. From Hongkong, Yoko- hama and Honolulu the Coptic had a clean bill of health and was therefore en- titled to dock. The medical men, how- ever, came to the conciusion that it was better to be sure than sorry,so they or- derea all the mail matter, 102 Chinese and six Japanese to be sent ashore for furhiga- tion at the quarantine station on Angel Island. In consequence it will be late this afternoon before any Chinese, Japan- ese or Hawaiian mail will be delivered. Among the cabin passengers on the Coptic were Mr. and Mrs. Newball, who returned from their honeymoon trip to Japan. Both say they had a splendid time. The tug Vigilant went out to the Faral- lones yesterday. Captain Silovich says ibat hislady passenger was terribly sea- sick when crossing the bar and that many a time she wished sbe had not accepted the position of teacher to the lighthouse- keeper’s children. The pigeons sent out by the hydrographic office were saiely landed and to-day two of them may be expected, bringing with them thenews of the wind and weather in the vicinity of { theisland. J. Winslow, tha popular head stevedore on the Mail dock, is once again at his post. Several months ago he fell into the hold of the steamer Newport, while superin- tending the stowing of her cargo, and broke his leg. A couple of daysago he put in an appearance, assisted by a couple of sticks, and as_soon as the 'longshore- men saw him they gave bim an ovation. Sunday the Newport is expected in from Panama and way vorts, and Winslow will go into the hold and put a red cross on the spot where he struck. The water front is infested with petty thieves. They take everything in sight, and in one instance stole the sails of a boat while the crew slept. Last Tuesday nighbt the tug Fearless was raided and the men’s clothing stolen. An oyster-boat lying at Harrsor-street wharf lost her cargo, everything movable was taken from the scow Nathale, and as nothing else could be found on the schooner Ida Mc- Cune, her suit of sails was stolen. The harbor police are on the alert, half a dozen policemen and private detec- tives are on the watch. The Vallejo steamer Monticello ran on the Mare Island skoal on the last trip “Wednesday night. The vessel was not damaged, but the passengers were con- siderably inconvenienced by the delay. A much more serious matter, however, is the charge made by the captein and own- ers of the opposition boat Sunol. They assert that the captain of the Monticeilo gave them a false signal, which, if it had been followed, would have landed the Sunol high and dry in the mud a few hundred feet from the Monticello, “It was simply an_attempt to put our boat where the other one was,” said A. E. Pryor, general manager of the Piper, Aden, Goodall Company, yesterday. “The’ Monticello was ahead, and when she went on the mudbank Captain Ran- dall gave two blasts from the steamer’s whistle. That meant for the Bunol to take the inside ccurse, but our captain digzovered where he was just in time and backed out of danger. The matter will be laid before the Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers to-day, and they can lay the blame where it belongs.” The Messrs. Hatoh, owners of the Mon- ticello, deny any knowledge of the affair and stoutly assert that they court an in- vestigation. Sea Otter Hunting Laws. The Custom-house yesterdey received from the Treasury Department the latest copy of rules and regulations relating to fur seal-fish- ing and sea otter bunting during 1897. Arti- cle T stafes that “every vessel empioyed in sea otter hunting, or in transporting sea otter parties suall have, in addition to the papers now required by law, a special clearance. and Heense,” Article VI, relerring to other pre- ceding rules, etc., says: “Theése regulations apply ouly to American vessels. Foreign ves- sels of every description will not be allowed to huntsea otter within the three-miles limit tnder penslty of seizure.” The foregoing chenges and udditions are about the only new features in the latest instructions and rules. Real Estate Company Incorporated. The firm of Baldwin & Howell has filed arti- cles of incorporation, with capital fixed dt £50,000. The incorporators are A. 8, Baldwin, J. R. Howell, Joseph Howell, George F. Lyon, G. N, Shield. The company, which was for- vows that as soon as the cargo is out he | nd at least | merly known as Baldwin & Hammond, will deal in real estate. SPREADING THE NET. Federal Warrants Have Been Issued for the Australian Mur- derer. While the ship Swanhilda breasts the seas bound from Syduey, N.S. W.,for this port, the authorities, both Federal and police, are using the time in which to spread more effectively the net that shall capture the arch-murderer, Frank Butler, alias Frank Harwood, and alias half a dozen other names, who is believed to be aboard her. Chasing a murderer across a continent is not a novelty in this day, but chasing a criminal half-way around the world against titae is a novelty, and is at- tracting the attention of the peoole of the earth.. This is what Detectives Conroy and McHattie of Sydney are doing, and they will have arrived fully two weeks ahead of the Swanhilda. Thue detectives landed at Victoria, B. from the Miowera last Tuesday. They were expected here yesterday, but did not come for the reason that hardly enough time has elapsed in wbich to make the trip by rail. If they do not spend a day at Victoria sight-seeing, they will be due to-day witu additional particulars. The Swanhilda is due about January 25. It is hardly possible that Butler can escape arrest at last unless he jumps overboard into the Pacific while en ronte. British Vice-Consul Moore said yester- day that everything is fully and satsfac- | torily arranged in regard to extradition papers and the necessary local warrant | for Butler’s arrest. The latter has been issued by Judge Morrow of the United States District Court. Mr. Cormac of the firm of Cormac & Donohoe, coionial attorneys here, said | yesterday that he was gratified at the publicity the coming of Butler is receiv- ing, *as it will greatly decrease the | chances of his escape,” said he. “Heisa | desperate criminal and would not hesi- tate at another murder, unless so com- | pletely caught that he could not make a move. *“We thought that he might leave the | ship at Honolulu,'* he said, *‘and took | precautions accordingly. “We found that | the ship would not touch at that port. | ‘We had a man there on the lookout for the murderer and he would have been caught if the Swauhilda put in there, I | expected the Sydney detectives to-da [ but they have probably not had time enough to get here.” PHILIDELPHA O FiE, Uncle Sam’s Big Cruiser Dam- aged by a Blaze in Her Coal Bunkers. 1 | A Letter Received in This City Brings News That the F ames Raged Three Hours. A letter written by one of the crew of the crmser Philadelphia was received in this City last week, which tells the story of a disastrous fire in the cruiser’s bunkers on the morning of her arrival at Callao, Peru. The leiter covers the entire voyage of the cruiser from the day she left tLis port, November 28, up to the breaking out and subsequent flooding of the fire at Callao. It states that the trip down the coast was an uneventful one and everything ran un- usually smooth. Calluo was reached and the crew was busy scrubbing down the decks when an alarm of fire was sounded. The crew was informed as to the whereabouts of the fire, but, as the ship rapidly filled with smoke, had considerable ditficulty playing water on the blazing coal. All the ship’s venti- lators and passageways tending to create a araught were closed, and the ¢ fought the fire with renewed vigor. Notwithstanding the fact that all the water 9ible was used,” said the writer of the letter, “‘the Elnms in the magazine- room_ became o heated that an order to abandon ship would not have surprised me. *‘After three hours’ hard work the flames were extinguished in the coal-bunkers, but the fire broke cut in an adjuin- g room from the heated plates, The crew was again put to work and in a balf bour bad the fire out. The hatch plates were cooled to prevent further damage by running streams of water over them, and the excitement ended,” In conclusion the letter stated that the ship would leave Callao for Panama in a short time, an' from there wou!d sail for San Diego, probably arriving at that port in the latter part of February. ——————— Archbishop Riordan Will Lecture.

Chita Is Accused of Stealing From Her a Solitaire Diamond Ring and Pin. Emma Cleverly, better known as Chita Jackson, the young woman who first came into notoriety by stating that she was the last person who saw Eugene Ware, the murdered drug clerk in the St. Nicholas Pharmacy, alive, is again in trouble. Yesterday morning, Mrs. Kittie Dur- ning, 843 Mission street, swore to a com- | plaint in Judge Low’s court, charging her with grand larceny. Emma and her husband lived at 846 Mission street, and on November 14 she made the acquaintance of Mrs. Durning, at the racetrack. Emma called upon Mrs, Dugning the following day and the latter showed her her jewelry. On November 16 Emma again called, and while Mrs. Durning was absent from the room for a few minutes she stole her jewel case, containing a solitaire diamond ring with gold setting and a gold horse- shoe diamond pin of the value of $160. Theringand pin were pawned by Emma with H, Abrams & Co., 785 Mission street, for $55, and she went on a visit to her friends at Livermore. She returned last evening and Policemen T. L. Ryan and Ed O’Dea, who had been detailed on the case, arrested her and booked her at the Southern Police station. The ring and pin were recovered from Abrams & Co., and Abrams called au the police station and identified Emma as the woman who pawned them. Bmme has been very fortunate. About a year ago she was arrested for robbing a farmer named Jackson of $40. She de- clared that Jackson fell in love with her, provosed marriage and gave her the money as a present, She was held to answer be- fore the Superior Court, but a jury in Judge Banrs’ court believed her story and she was acquitted, Some meonths ago she made the ac- quaintance of Richard Brewer, a saloon- keeper on Merchant street, and he en- aged her to play the piano in his saloon. e became infatuated with her, and on her promise that sbe would marry him he advanced her various sums of money, aggregating over $500, and became surety for a piano she bought on the installment lan.. ¥ i Bprewer finally discovered that she was married and he had herarrested tor ob- taining money by false pretenses. The case was dismissed in the Police Court, and for the second time Emma escaped punishment. She is & tall, handsome young woman, with fascinating manners. - Her husband is an Englishman, and is in receipt of a monthly remittance from the *‘old coun- try.” Reunion of Rosarians.

Ciief Crowley Is Furnished With a List of Their Names. Efforts of the Police Have in the Past Been Nullifi d by the Police Judzes. Chief Crowley has deterniined once more to make an attempt to rid the cor- ridors of the City Hall of men who are familiarly known as “grafters.”” Complaints were_received by the Chief vesterday that these men were systemati- cally at work, and a list was handed to him. In the list were the names of Matt Smith, Ben Smith, Jack Bolster, Dick Creighton, *“Chippy” Gallagher and Wil- liam Tannion, and it was mentioned that other names would be forthcoming. In the list were the names of a janitor ana severa! attorneys, but as they have a right to be in the corridors their names were stricken out. The Chiei sent for Policeman Wagner, who is specially detailed for duty in the .| corridors, and banded him the list with instructions to arrest the men if they made their appearance in the neighbor- hood of the Police Courts or the Justice of the Peace Courts and charge them with violating tbe ordinance passed by the Supervisors specially to cover such cases. Several arrests have been made by Po- liceman Wagner, including Tannion, Gal- lagher and others, but in almost every instance the cases were dismissed in the police conrts, and the men after keeping | away from the corridors for a few weeks returned again and continued their work as boldly as ever.
