She Will in Futm"e Fly the | Wilder Steamship Company’s Flag. S:aling Schooners Have Not. Done Weil Off the Coast and Hunters Are Despondent. The new steel steamer Helene built for the Wilder Steamship Company of Hono- lulu was launched yesterday from the | Union Iron Weorks. Miss Dickson per- formed the ceremony of christening the new craft and as the graceful vessel glided toward the waters of the bay she brokea bottle of champagne over her bow and gave her the name under which she will sail from San Francisco. On arriving at Honolulu the Helene will be put under the Hawaiian flag and a native name wiil be given her, the present one being be- stowed only for the sake of her American registry. The new steamer is 175 feet long, 29 feet 11 inches broad and 14 feet 10} inches deep. She will be used in the inter-1sland | trade, and is expected to be one of the fastest boats in the company’s fleet. The latter consists of the Kiuau, Claudine, Likelike, Hawaii, Kilauea-How, Lehua, Mokoliiand the Helene. The directors of the company are the following men, who are well known in San Francisco: C.L. Wight, president; W. G. Irwin, J. F. Hackfeld, W. F. Allen, 8. B. Rose, J. A. King and G. C. Beckley. The company’s Claudine will be remembered as the steamer that brought the news of the revolution to San Krancisco and the es- tablishment of a republic in Hawaii. The tonnage of the vessels is almost the same, but the Claudine has more than double | the horsepower of her rival. Nevertheless the builders of the new | are willing to wager that on her 1 trip the Helene will make a better record than the Claudine. The engines | and boilers will at once be put in the new | steamer, and by the end of the month she | will probably go on her trial trip. If she { proves a success she will at once sail for Hgnoluiu. The engines have been built under the supervision of W. A. Johnston. chief engineer of the Wilder Steamship Company, and C. L. Wight, president of | the company, arrived on_the Monowai in order to, be present at the launching. A drawing was made by the Union Iron Werks showing the Helene a3 she will ap- pear when on her way to Honolulu. The Pacific Mail Steamship Company’s | Rio de Janeiro got in from Hongkong via | Yokohama and Honolulu yesterday. Among the passengers were Mrs. Emma L. Hunt, and Miss E: a Hunt. Mrs. Hunt is the representative on_this coast of the tirm of | Jesse Moore-Hunt Com- and her father is Harbor Commis- She and her daughter have been on a holiday trip to Japan and China, and yesterday Commissioner Cole went out in the tug Governor Markham and boarded the Rio before she docked. Other passengers on the steamer were: C. J. Stemler, Paul Strebe, E. Griffin_and wife, H. Kruse anda wife, S. 3 man, 8. H. Kruseand P. The sealing schooner M Taylor put | in here yesterday to land Thomas Irvine, one of the hunters, who was suddenly taken ill while off the allones. He was sent . Maury’s Hospital and if all goes well will return home on the next Victoria steamer. The latest news from Enceland is any- thing but reassuring to hunters ana seal- ers. 7The latest telegraphic returns are to the effect that skins have brought 12}¢ ver cent less than they did last montih and that tlre general average is only 30s 4d, a price much_below what skins | brought last year. In consequence both owners and hunters will be losers on the season’s catch. Lulu Gwinn, a16-year-old girl, was ar- rested on the water front yesterday by Officer George Lake and booked at the Harbor Police station for the reformatory. For weeks she has been making her head- quartersin a water-front resort, and being under age the police determined to arrest he Branch Hydrographic Office has issued the following notice to mariners: D e’ given that a post light, fixed white, to be known as Martin Island (lower) post light, has been established off ine lower end of Martin Island, Columbia River, chennel across Martin Island Bar, on | the following bi Hoftman Landing | Post Light, NW.

The New Steamer Helene That Was Launched From the Union Iron Works Yesterday, When Completed She Will Be Put in the Inter-Island Trade Under the Flag of the Wilder Steamship Company. The Accompanying Sketeh Was Made by Mr. Coulter From a Drawing Furnished by the Union Iron’ Works Showing the Vessel When Cémpleted. THE FORFARSHIRE PLAYED N LUCK Murderer Butler Was Twice Refused a Pas- sage on Her. First He Wanted a Berth and Then Offered to Ship at a Shilling a Month. One of the Charge of Manslaughter at the Time. “Is the Swanhilda the four-master sighted outside by the Rio de Janeiro?” is asking just now. Only two vessels Olivebank left before the vessel on which Arthur Preston is supposed to have taken passage, it may be her. The vessel in question was sighted at 2:15 o’clock on the 16th inst. in latitude 33 north, longitude 132.02 west. She was |in the regular course of the Australian sailing ships, and according to the officers of the steamer should reach port in a few days. The Olivebank is out sixty-one days and the Ewanbilda fifty-six days from Newecastle, N. 8. W., but as the lat- ter is the smartest vessel of her class in the Australian trade, the chances are somewhat in her favor. Captain Evans of the British ship For- farshire bad & narrow escape from having Butler for a passenger. Had he been in the mooG to give the necessary accommo- dation both the murderer and Lis wife would have sailed for this port on the clipper. f “It happened just this way,” said Cap- tain Evans yesterday. “We were lying in Sydney harbor getting ready to sail for Crew Was Held on a is the question everybody along the front | rigged in this manner are due, and as the | the murderer of Captain Lee Weller and | like a wildcat, and getting the forefinger of the boatswain’s right hand between his teeth he almost bit it off. He chewed pieces of flesh from the unfortunate man's neck and almost tore all his clothes from bis back before he was secured. March was carried to his- bunk and a few days later blood poisoning set in and he died. Onthe preliminary examination Powells was remanded on boara the For- Farshire and went on her from Cape Town to Newcastle and thence to San Francisco. From here the vessel will go to England and there he would bave to stand trial, so he thought the best thing he could do was toescape, and now the Forfarshire knows bim no more. He and Butler would have made a great pair in the ship’s crew. | Captain Evans was here last in the Cromartyshire as chief officer. That was ten years ago and ever since he has been master of the Forfarshire, but this is his first yoyaxe to San Francisco in her. The vessel has been almost continuously trad- ing to Portland, and last year Captain | Evans' little daughter was born there and | was christened Jane Willamette Evans. Complaints have been made in regard to | the food served on the ship, but the | mate’s log shows that the.sick men got eggs and milk, while the little babe had to | g0 without. The whole trouble was over | a question of potatoes, and everybody | who has been to sea knows what an important question that is. ~ They cost an | enormous price in Cape Town, but never- | theless the captain laid in a good supply. When a couple of weeks out the men refused to eat potatoes, and the captain at | once told the cook “‘well and good. Let | them go without until they come to me | and ask for them.” Hence the trouble. The Forfarshire is a weil-found ship in | every respect, but she seems to have more than her share of sea lawyers aboard. Captain Evans is accompanied by his wife, and while many of the crew do not like “the old man,” there is not one of them but what would risk his life for “‘the |otd man’s wife and the baby.” Mrs. | Evans is not a nervous woman, but still she shudders whenever the name of Butler | and the possibilities of his having been a sailor on the Forfarshire are discussed. | At Meiggs wharf everybody is on the qul vive. The Pacific Mail Company’s City of Sydney did not get away until nearly | midnight yesterday. She left the Mail | dock at the usual hour, but came toan anchor off Meiggs wharf to await the arrival of Chinese who were in transit and who had been detained on Angel Island by the gaarantine authorities. The mail | was also delayed, and when the Millen | Griffiths put it aboard and brought the Chinese from the station the City: of Sydnay went on her way. | | | Hotel Rafael Incorporated. ‘ Articles of incorporation of the R.

The Above Which the Murderer Buried Newcastle to load for San Francisco, when a man and his wife came along and wanted to take passage with us. He gave the name of Frank Piercs, and ex- plained that his wife was a very sick woman and that the doctor had ordered a long sea yoyage for her. I explained that I bad no accommodation, as my wife and children were aboard, so he went away, and I never saw Mrs. Pierce or But- Jer again. Lateron Ilearned that she se- cured a passage on ancother British ship, but died before the vessel sailed for San Francisco. “After reaching Newcastle I again haa an encounter with Pierce or Butler. He explained to me that his wife had sailed for San Francisco on another vessel, and that he, being out. of money, wanted to work his way across. He offered to ship at & shilling & month, and, saying he had a captain’s certificate. proposed to stand one of the watches. He was a big, strong- looking fellow, and at first I felt like ship- ping him, but something deterred me and I said no. I am glad I did, because then I would have had two hard characters'on board.”” Captain Evans referred' to one of his crew, who is accused of at least man- slanghter and who made his escape as soon as the vessel dropped anchor in this "port, when he said “‘two hard characters.” The tragedy occurred in Cape Town and the Brigsh authorities ordered the culprit taken back to fingland for trial. The For- farshire was getting ready for sea and all hands were called to bend sail. Joseph Marel, the boatswain, noticed that Desire Poweils, one of the men, had not come on deck. He went into the forecastle and ordered him out. Powellsreiused to move and the boatswain went in and forced him out.

ND COMPROMISE WITH STANTON A Four Per Cent Grain Rate Is Not to Be Considered. Duty of the Railroad Commis- sion to Make Investiga- tions Alone. He Thinks Such a.Course Wou d Not Interfere With Pending Litigation. Railroad Commissioner James Stanton returned yesterday from a several days’ duck huntand a tramp in the marshes. The Railroad Commissioner said he re- turned with some webieet dangling from his belt, but he would not say how many. In regard to the reported willingness of the Southern Pacific to compromise on a 4 per cent wheat rate Commissioner Stan- ton said last evening: “No such proposition has been made to me, nor to any other member of the com- mission that I am aware of. The sugges- tion may have been thrown out as a feeler and if that isthe case I do not think it will go, I have noidea that the commis- sion would entertain such a thing. Let the litigation go on if we cannot settle the matter in any other way. *‘As to the rights and duties of the com- mission there can be no controversy, They are clearly and specifically defined by the constitation, a section of which, relating to the Railroad Commission, was publishied in to-day’s CALL in connection with the interview with Mr. Clunie. ‘The statement by Mr. Clunie of the powers of the commission under the constitution, and to some extent his presentation of the situation are cor- rect. ““We have the powers and the authority of a court. We can subpena Southern Pecific officials before us to testify, and if they do not come we can punish them for contempt. We also have the power to compel the production of their books and other material evidence. “These things,”” said Commissioner Stanton, “it is not only in our power to do, but in the scope of our duty. The constitution says so. I madea motion at a meeting of the commission to proceed under the authority given us, but it did not prevail, I understand, for the reason that it was feared it might interfere with the pending litigaticn. My- opinion is that it would not in any way embarrass the litigation. We could proceed with in- vestigation along other Iines. ‘] expect to bring the matter up again at the next meeting. We can make more progress proceeding under our own au- tiority than we can_through any court, I think the Southern Pacific policy is_one of delay, by which the autborities hope to get a commission at the next clection which may be more favorable to them.” The next meeting of the commission is one week from to-morrow. BONDING STREET WORK. Sausalito Likely to Adopt a Plan That Has Proved a Success Else- where. An experiment is being tried in Sausa- lito whieh is exciting much interest among local street contractors. Seven blocks of macadamized and sewered streets are being advertised at present, which is some cause for excitement, but the mode of payment for the work is the feature which is discussed earnestly on the side- walks and on the exchange. ‘When the contract is let the contractor obligates himself to take payment in serial bonds, which will run for ten years with interest at 7 per cent. The interest is payable semi-annually and one-tenth of the bonds each year. This is a new feature in this neighborhood, but in Los Angeles all street work is now done on that plan. Some two years ago a piece of work was done under the ten-year bond system, as it is called, which led to I W. Hellman protesting against payment and alleging that the law was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court decided last summer that the law was all right and street work has received an impetus since. A latge asphalt paving contract on Main street has just been completed and the contractor has received an assessment which is over $100,000 in_value, all to be paid in the ten-year bonds. Visaliain 1894 did over $30,000 worth of work in the same manner. The reports from holders of the bonds show that they value them as good fnvestments. In several Southern California towns and cities the plan is in use, but in the region round San_Franeis- co it has never been tried, and Sausalito, in making the experiment, is going to heip other places wonderfully IF the ex- riment is successful and contractors will take the bonds. . Ernest McCollough, City Engineer of Snil‘ximliw, in speaking of the movement said: wise and help remove the burdens of taxation from the shoulders of the people. S0 long as street work is necessary there should be easier metnods of payment required than at present exist. Many people now have to sell their Pproperty to pay_for its impravement, when they might easily be able 1o raise each year one-tenth the amount With interest. T0 KNOW HER WAS T0 ESTEEM HER Last Tributes Laid on ths Bier of Mrs. J. A Lees. Burial of a Woman Who Was Thoroughly Good and Charitable, The Clergy, Binch and Bar, M:r- chants and Municipal Officers Were in Attendance. Surrounded by her sorrowing family her bier covered with sweet, delicate, flowers, all tokens of the great love borne her by Iriends who wept sincerely that she had passed away, Mrs. Jane Amelia Lees lay yesterday in the drawing-room of her late home at 1022 Pine street. The lovable wife, mother and friend had many callers, who paid her their last re- spects and accompanied her to the grave. The old home in which she and her ven- erable husband have lived for a score of years, and in which they have brought up their children, was entirely inadequate to accommodate those who wished to be in attendance and give a glance of farewell to thé deceased. Early in the day floral tributes began arriving, and long before the hour set for the ceremony the parlors of the house were overcrowded with pieces that were tri- umphs of the florist’s art, and fragrant tokens from sad-hearted ones the de- parted had left behind. : Two floral offerings, monuments in themselves, were there from the “upper office,” where the men under Captain Lees hold headquarters, and from the officers of the police siation proper. Each of four companies of patrolmen was also represented by superb offerings. These were irrespective of two magnificent pieces ordered by telegraph from Chicago by Wiiliam and Robert Pinkerton, Cap- tain Robinson and Sergeant Lindheimer and Captain John Curtin. The small flowers, violets, cut roses and hand bouquets, filled up the interstices between the larger offerings, so that the casket barely peeped out from beneath the mass of verdure and colors. Captain Lees, the chief mournér, saw many of his friends and Lers around the casket of his loved oneyesterday. During the four decades he has been one of -this City’s representative men and one of its executive officers, he has come in contact with almost every one worth knowing, and they joined with him in bis sorrow. Aside from the leading bankers, merch- ants, attorneys, Judges and municipal of- ficers of the present and of days past, it must bave been gratifying 1o him if he saw through his feverish eyes the com- rades who worked their way up through life with him in his profession, but who, one after the other, dropped out as time placed its limit on their term of servitude and emblazoned their names on the re- tired list. There wasex-Chief of Police Burke, now nearly 76 years of age, who handled the depurtment when there were but only fifty officers on the force. Ex-Captain Short, wio is on the shady side of 89 years of uge, came with his word of consolation. Ex-Captain Douglass, Washington Irving, ex-Sergeant Harmon and ex-Sergeant Duf- field were some_of the relics of the days when Captain Lees was himself a youth and their companion. The religious ceremonies were conducted by Rev. Horatio Stebbins, himself a com- panion iu youth of Captain Lees and a dear friend fand adviser of the deceased. There was but a prayer and later on a benediction prior to thie conveyance of the remains to the cemetery at Laurel Hill. The choir, consisting of Mrs. Martin Schultz, Miss Xena Roberts, Alfred Wil- kie and J. F. Fleming, led by Martin Schultz, rendered ‘‘Jesus, Lover of My Boul” and “Thy Will Be Done.” The pallbearers were: Chief of Police Patrick _Orowley, Reuben M. Lioyd, Thomas W. Walkin~ton, Dr. John Night- ingale, General W. H. L. Barnes, City and County Treasurer A. C. Widber, Judge NEW TO-DAY. STEINWAY PIANOS ARE USED AT ALL NORDICA Concerts.
