RANKIN’S ESTATE. It Will Pay Fifty Cents om the Dellar to the Bryast Claim- An important move was made in the settiemeat of the Ira P. Rankin estate | vestesday which will lead to a speedy set- tlement of the litigation that was brought | 0 by ciaimants against the estate. In Biv lifetime Mr. Rankin was executor of the will of his wife, Caroline Rankin, and of the will of a relative named Edwin | Bryant. On his death it was ascertamed that be | was sbor: of funds and was not able to make good the amounts doe to the de- visees and heirs nnder the wills of Mrs. | Rankin and Mr. Bryunt. ‘The shortage amounted to $30,000, and | in order to resch a settiamert the heirs agreed to take 50 cents an the dollar. In pursaance of this & stipalation was filed | in Judge Coffey’s court yesterday whereny it is provided ihat J. E. La Rue, adminis- tv:m‘f of Mr. Rankin's estate, is to pe $15,000 to the r-presentativs of the cisim- ants in ruil settiement of all démands. ‘The cour: made an orde: aceordingly.

In fact so Beavy was the contact that every- | body rusbed on deek and the vessel hove to for an bour in ordsr to ascertain what | For quite s waile | | damage had been done. Captain Smith, the pilot, and the officers | of the vessel discussed the advisatility of 1 returning to port. that apparently no damage had been done the piloc was put aboard the pilot-boat | and Captain Smith started awsy for his gestination. A eursory exsmination of | the buil was made at Hongkong, but no injury could be found. Nevertheless when the vessel gets back to San Francisco she| | will go on the Hanter’'s Point drydoek. | The City of Peking is one of the best built ships aflost, and not many vessels | { would have stcoa the bump she got and ‘ bave escaped without injury. She is408 | feet long, 47 feet broad and 19 feet 5 inches deep, and 5079.62 gross tonnage. She had | an unusaally heavy cargo aboard and | larze passenger list, so when she struck it | | can easily be imagined what consterna- tion there must bave been aboard. Many of the pilots were interviewed | yesterday in regard to the changes on the | bar, but one ana all seemed to think it was in just the same condition that it was twenty years agzo. “In places changes have tsken place,” said Captain Jordan, | “but they do not amount to & great deal. | The main channel may have shoaled a little, but I don’t thing there isany per- | ceptible change in the north and south chanvels. As to the striking of the City of Pexing, I don’t know anything sbout it and I doa’t kmow which pilot took her out.” “We have the Government chart to £0 bv,” said Captain Barber, “and we can’t | go behind that. The sailing directions 4re given on it and if a pilot follows those insrtuctions he cannot be blamed. I think it was Captain Smith, who has since resigned from the pilot service, who bad charge of the City of Peking. If there is any shoaling of course the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey office | would at once potify us.” ~Has the bar shoated? I reaily canmot teil” was the answer Captain Westhoff, the authority om such matters in the of- fice of the United States Coast and Geo- | answer be went to a pile of charts and taking out the only one on that section ever made he spread it out on a table.
