A general view of the port of Newcastle, N. S. W., during the great colliery strike. Many of the vessels now in port were tied up at that time, and among them was the Swanhilda and Olivebank, now on their way here. The Swanhilda is shown at anchor in the bay and the Olivebank is moored alongside the seawall. SIGHTED FROM | THE FARALLONES A Four-Masted Ship Re-| ported by the Carrier- ! Pigeon Express. It Is Believed, However, That| She Was a Craft Outbound. | Galiant Rescue of a Wounded Sailor by the Mate of the Levi G. Eurgess. | Interest in the arrival of the Swanhilda is still unabated and Meiggs wharf is thronged every day with people who hope against hope that when the vessel gets in | they will see Frank Butler, the man ac- | cused of murder, landed from her. Chief | Officer Lawless of the steamer Australia, which got in yesterday, reports that on the 19th inst, at4p. M., they sighted & four-masted vessel heading for San Fran- cisco that answerad the description of the | Swanhilda. At that time she was 140 miles southwest of San Francisco, and | en anything like a favorable wind she | should getin to-day. Opinion seems to be divided as to| whether the vessel sighted is the Olive- nk or the Swanhilda. | Both are four-masted vessels, bark rigged on the jigger mast, and both are due from Newcastle, Australia, Both the ships and | dozen others now in port were tied up at } same time in Newcastle, N. 8. W., | during the great colliery strike, so the | British ship captains are as much inter- | ested in the arrival of the Swanhilda as | the general public. The general opinion | hem, however, is that Butler will ound aboard whenthe vessel ar- | rives “The homing pigeon which brought the missive relating the ‘sighting of the-four- masted _ship supposed to be the Swan- hilda, off the Farallon Islands late Tues- Jisle in Berkeley at11A. M. vesterday mo The vessel was ing. board and held up William Carlson until a boat came along and picked them up. Carlson had an arm and s leg broken, and would undoudtedly have drowned had not Ornquist jumped overboard after him. The Burgess sailed for PugetSound last Tuesday. While at work on the royal-vard Carlson lost his footing and fell. In hisdescent he struck the braces and broke his arm and leg. He was thrown into the ses, and being powerless to help nimself lay on his back until Orn- %uhv. went to his assistance. The tug eliance was signaled and Captain Brockan took the injured man aboard and brought him back to the City. CUNNINGHAM’S ESTATE.

Describes How Mineral Claims May Henceforth Be Taken Up. Will Abolish Old District Recording. Posting of Notices on New Properties, The California State Miners’ Association has taken in hand a matter that will be of deep interest to eyery /mine-owner or claim-owner and to every prospective or | tuture locator of mining claims in the | State. At present many claims are lo- | cated under district and Federal laws, but | the Federal laws themselves contemplate local or rather State legislation. Califor- | nia has never taken advartage of this privileze, and the Miners’ Association is now seeking toavail itsalf of that privilege. At one of the last meetings of that body the matter of framing an act prescribing | the manner of locating mining clai | recording notices of location, amending | defective iocetions, etc., was referred to the | committes on the revision of ing laws. | This committee is composed of able lawyers and practical mining men, and consists of Judge Curtis H. Lindsey, Senator T. L. | Ford, C. W, Cross, ¥rederick Searles, Ross | E. Brown, W, 8. Keyes, A. H. Rickexts |and J. F. Halloran. After much labor these gentlemen have prepared an act which was adopted last evening by the majority of the committee. This week it will be submiteed to the executive com- mittee of the association. If approved by the executive commiztee the act will be sent to Sacramento on Monday, to be | presented to the Legislature for enact- | ment. This supplemental act to the Fed- | eral Jaws reads as follows: | _An act prescribing the manmer of locating | mining claims and milisites upon the public domain of the United States, recording notices of location thereof, amending defective loca- | | day afternoon, reached the lofts of A. Car- i | S ey 1no ity —~. 3PVSSIN 2P j U0 53 The Message Borne by the Carrier Pigeon From the Farallon Islands. the afternoon, which was too late to dis- patch a bird as they do not work well by night, and so the sending of the message was delayed until' the morning. Miss Doud loosed the swift-winged carrier at 8:35 yesterday morning. At the time he was released the weather was clear, but an east wind was blowing, which prevented rapid flight. The time the bird was on the wing was two hours and twenty-five minutes, oran hour longer | than the record held by another of Mr. Carlisle’s homers. The loss of time is ex- plained by the unfavorable winds and the inexperience of the keepers at the Far. allones in_ training the birds, One bird, at least, and sometimes two, comes regu- larly every day from _the islands, bearing messages from Miss Doud to Mrs. Carlisle. Another, relating to the supposed sight- ing of the Swanhilda, which bears the supposed murderous Butler, is expected at any moment. So _complete is the system invented by Mr. Carlisie for announcing the arnval of a bird that as soon as it | reaches the cote the fact is made known in his residence by the ringing of an elec- tric bell. Itis believed, however, that the vessel was outbound, 2s the last four-master re- | ported was too far out 10 have got in by | this time. | Among the arrivals by the Australia was George C. Beckley, who will superin- tend the completion of the Helene, | launched from the Union Iron Works | vards last Monday for the Wilder Steam- ship Company of Honolulu. Before start- ing for San Francisco Mr. Beckley was | presented with a purse and the money will be used by the recipient in the pur- chasé of a flag for tbe new boat. While | here Mr. Beckley will contract for the | building of another steel steamer which will be at least fifty fect longer than the Jargest vessel owned by the company and | wiil have a speed of at least 15 knots. This will make four steamers that will bave been built in San Francisco for| Hawaiian firms during the past twelve months, The Australia brought up the first con- signment of taro flour ever brought to tnis country. She has 204 sacks for Wil- liam Hires of Chicago. The people of that | city will have a chance to sample regular Hawaiian poi in the near future. The offi- cers of the steamer are wondering just what use will be made of tbe flour, as poi is an article of diet which requires a cul- tivate d palate 1o thoroughlyaporeciate it.

The will of Samuel S. Simrak has been filed for probate. The estate is said to consist of an 1nterest in decedent’s father's estate and a patented machine invented by the deceased.” The property of decedent’s father 1s situated in Saso- vien, Cutti, Cassimere, Castel Nuovo and Trieste, Dalmatia, Austria. The will just filed says: “My brother, John Simrak, has been administrator of said estate ever since my father's death. All these years I never asked and he never gave me an account of the proverty. I wish that after my death he give a full account to my brother, Mitchell Sin‘nk, executor of this, my last will.” To the widow, Josephine Eimrak, is be- queathed the testator’s machine works, patent rights and personal property. All of the interest of the testator in his father's estate is bequeathed to his son, Albert Simrak, and the decedent adds: “I request brother Mitchell to take my son Albert as his own child, to rai: nd educate him to the best of his abilities. Idothis, as 1 know that my son Albert | wiil have a better home with my brother than he would with his mother, and I re. quest my wife to accede to my wishes in this regard.” tions and providing for the deposit of district records with County Recorders.

The attention of Secretary Walsh of the So- clety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chil- dren was called to the fact that two lads, members of an_acrobatic company Dow per- forming at the Ocrpheum, were under the age permitted under the Stato law for such exhibi- tions. The lads are 16 and 14 years of age and thev appear with the Frantz family. Inquiry developed the fact that their names are Fred and Walter Mmb and that they aro sonsof John Lamb of Birmingham, Engiand. In De- cember, 1894, the father apprenticed the youngsiers 10 the Frantz family, who are to teach the boys to become professional acro- bats. Frantz, upon learning that he would violate the State law by permitting the littie fellows to perform, stated that he would not let them go on, as there are pletny in the troupe without them. e ————— A Chance to See the Stars.

Over the Thoroughfare From Mar- ket to Townsend. Almost Enough Signatures Secured Already—The List Will Probably Be Filled Out To-Day. Third street is to be the next to follow in the line of light. Business men and | property-owners from Townsend street to | Market are working to the desired end, and it is expected that in a few days a sufficient number of subscriptions will | have been secured. Indeed, there have | been secured already almost enough to | string the lamps from Mission street to | Townsend. The link to be supplied is | the short one from Mission street to Mar- \ ket, and these will probably add their sig- natures to-day. The passion for “more light” is epi- demic and irresisticle. With the lighting of Kearny street came the natural desire of business men on Third street to see the string of dazzlers stretch “on and on’’ | past their places of business. The con- summation is about to be reached. Following is the list of property-owners who have already signed for Third street: Mrs. $nook,by Katschin. Alpheus Bull Jr. 3 Robert McMillan Hugo Kell H.

The officers of the Olympic Gun Glub met last evening at its handsomely fur- | nished clubroom, 1309 Van Ness avenue, | and discussed the proposition of holding a bench show this year in this City. A committee from the Pacific Kennel Club reported that the directors of the Pacific Kennel Club concluded not to give | a bench show this year, but in the event | of the Olympic Gun Club deciding to give a show_under its auspices the members | of the Pacific Kennel Club would sup- port it. & After considerable discussion the Olym- pic Gun Club decided that it wonid not give a show as long as the Pacific Kennel Club was in existence, as it had no desire | to conflict with the supposed good inten- | tions of the old club. On next Wednesday evening a meeting of the Gun Club will be held to hear the final report of the committee which was appointed purposely to procure the views of the members of the Pacific Kennel Club, and if a majority of those members decide that the Pucific Kennel Club should disband, then the Olympic Gun Club will go abead and givea show, as no stumbling-block will then be in its road to offset a venture which it has every reason to believe will eventually result in a grand success.

It has come to this at last—the public schools of San Francisco must close for a month before the next summer vacation, for the reason that there is not enough money appropriated to keep them open. Or it may be another equally drastic alternative in economy—the salaries of all employes must be reduced in a ratioto be determined according to the various amounts received by teachers. Nobody is to be spared in the School Department if this measure be accepted, but this is to depend on the willingness of teachers. Anyhow, as the question now looms up before the Board of Education and the employes, it is said to be simply whether teachers choose to do no work for no pay for one month or to work for reduced salaries for six months. For in either event they will be no better off financially at the end of this six months’ term end- ine June 30, 1897. Beyond this bold stroke in financiering there will be no expenditures for printing, for repairs or for supplies until after July 1 next. Other matters are in view, all tending toward the same end. So far, however, it cannot be said that any definite conclu- sion has been reached in this directi though, indeed, the unassigned teachers | may be refused salary except for the time | and special teachers may be cut off alto- gether. The Board of Education came facs to face with the subject last nignt, and met 1t bravely in a secret session that lasted until nearly midnight. Every member of the board was preseat at the meeting, or at least they were all seen to enter and leave the council chamber. School Director Samuel L. Waller, chair- man of the finance commaittee, presented an interesting report on the condition ot things, which the board regarded as de- cidedly blue. The report engaged the attention of the meeting to the exclusion of every other subject. It was full of figures of course, but one line stood out in strong relief at the end: “Total estimated deficiency to July 1, 1897, $90, 45.”" The estimate of available 1unus was $500,000, on wuich to keep the schools going from January 1 to July 1. The estimate for salaries of teach- ers for that time was $450,007 55; janitors’ salaries, $25,506 40; office’ salaries, $4055; shop salaries $3615. The expenditures estimiated for rents was $750, school census $5000, gas and elec tric lights $2700, fuel $2180, postage $150, The total ovetdraft on January 1, 1897, wus $41,308 50, in addition to which was the half month’s salary retained in Novem- ber, 1896, amounting to $37,973 10. These two items represent the excess of expend- jtures made by the last Board of Educa- tion. The estimated deficit for the present half year was placed at $35,272 45, and the estimate of the deficit in the e tionment and amount received $1 The total estimated deficit was §90,245 55, These figures make no provi 1 builaings, repairs, supplies or pi In thelast six months of 1896 the printi biils amounted to $894 12, supplies $14. 83169, buildings ana grounds $26,554 95, and the special fund for five moaths Was $70,471 84. 2 After discussing the report in every de- tail the board came 1o the conclusion that either the schoois should be closed for one month or salaries reduced as the only ap- parent way out of the dilemma. Ang with this conviction in the mind of each member the meetingadjourned until next Wednesday evening, when action will be taken on the matter. The law makes no provision for the pay- ment of salaries for time in which the schools may be closed, but teachers must be paid during vacation. So the idle month will be an additional rest this season. 5 Amateur Dramatics.
