They will not return before to-morrow night, and if the fishermen are successful, all ana sun- dry will bave fresh fish on Friday. The fishing-boats that went to Richard~ sons Bay are after the herring thatare now beginning 1o run, and fishermen who live at Sausalito say there is an abund- ance of the fiany tribe in the bay justnow. Nearly all the crab boats also ventured out, and the shrimp hunters went away up the bay toward Alviso. Should all prove successful there should be ai! kinds of fish to pick from next Fridav. The people of Sausalito are always glad to see the fisk fleet in the bay, but they are not in love with a band of gypsies that descended upon the town from Mill Valley a few days ago. They were or- dered across the bay, but Sergeant *“Tom” Mahoney of the barbor police promptly ordered them back again. He told them in plain language that San Francisco had no place in which thev could pitch their tents and told them they had better go back whence they came. The littie company went back to Sausalito and finally obtained permission to camp on the beach until such time as steamer sbould sail for Honolulu. geant Mahoney has a very poor ouinion of the gang and says they shall not land in San Krancisco except 10 ship for Hono- lulu if he can helpit. The Harbor Commissioners L session yesterday. Ser- 1d a short Mr. Cole, who was for several days at the point of death, is now recovering, and his son says that he will probably be out again in a few aaysand ahle to attend the next meeting of the board. The San Francisco Timoer Pre- serving Company asked for the use of a small strip of land on section B of the seawall. The manager of the company pointed out that it was a new industry and the State should fosterit. A fair ren- tal was offered, but the Commissioners decided to take the matter under adyise- ment. The Bouthern Pacific Company wrote asking that cleats be nailed on the upper gangway of the broad-gauge depot. Com- missioner Chadbourne pointed out that it had taken the railway peopie a year anda balf to find out that cleats were necessary, and said that all that was required was a few extra Jamps. the gangway,’” said be, “‘and then there will be 0o necessity for cleats on the gang- way.” The maitér was referred to Com- missioner Chadbourue, and he will write the board’s answer to the Southern Pacific's communication. The bark Wilna ana ship Oriental are to be matcned for a round trip to Nanaimo, B. C., from San Francisco. The Oriental made the run up in four daysand twelve hours, and the Wilna reached Fiat- tery in four days, but owing to a heavy storm was a day in getting up the sound to her destination.

Just the same, her captain expects to beat the Wilna’'s actual sailing time, and then the two vessels will have it out on the next voyage. The troubles of the ship Sea King, which had to put into Auckland, N. Z., in distress while on_her way here from Newcastle, N. 8, W,, have only just begun. An understanding between the insurance agents and the owners cannot ve reached and until sometbing bas bee: done the vessel will remain in New Ze: land.

BEVIALS FOR CHIRESE The Mongolian Quarter Is En- joying a Religious Fes- tival. | Ten Heathens Were Converted Methodist Mission Chapel Monday Evening. in Chinatown is at present enjoying its own season of religious revival. Monaay evening Rev. F.J. Masters and Rev. Chan Hon Fan, foilowed by a number of Chinese converts, marched to the corner of Wash- ington street and Waverly place and preached the Gospel to the passing pagans. Rev. Mr. Masters, who for ten years was a missionary in China, and who speaks the Chinese language fluently, first addressed the Mongolians. He explained to them the religion of Christ, and endeavored to show them the fallacy of the aoctrines they considered true and sacred. The minister's remarks were not with- out effect. He had always believed the Chinese to be a stolid phlegmatic race, but when the revivalists returned to the Metn- odist miesion & goodly number of the queuned listeners followed and entered the chapel, Rev. Chan Hon Fan addressed the con- gregation inside the chapel, concluding his sermon by asking all those who wished to accept the religion of Christ to step forward. Without hesitation eight young Chinamen and two Chinese girls arose from their seats and went to the front. Hare a prayer was offered and then bits of paper, on which were printed were handed the converts for their signatures. Translatea the paper read: 1 desire to fice from the wrath to come. I de- sire also 10 give up my evil life aud obtain salvation through Jesus the Christ, and 1 vol- untarily set my name to this puper to indicate my firm determination 1o turn from sin to righteousness and 1o stud; doetrine 10 accept Savior. The converts read the papers, hurriedly signed them and then knelt in prayer. Ittook courage on their part to do it This the ministers knew and 5o they e: conraged them as best they could. The revival will continue during the week and undoubdtedly many heathens will accept the trae doctrine” before it is over. diligently the true fesus Cnrist as my i e Justices Would Name Their Clerks, The bill for clerks for the Justices' court means that the Justices want to name their own clerks.

All drug In order to |gisia refund the money if it falls to cure, 20¢ There wasan exception made in But- ler’s list of visitors when a half dozen of his shipmates from the Swanhilda re- quested to talk to him. They greeted him in a warmhearted manner and declared .their honest belief in his innocence. One of the srilors produced a handker- chief in good need of washing, which he said he had found in Butler’s bunk. *I've been offered a pound for this wipe of yours” he declared, *but I'll not sell it,” Batler laughed and said there were lots of cranks in this country. The other sailors showed a tobacco pouchand a pipe as well as some other trinkets, each man taking pride in saying bow he had discovered the relics in But- ler’s bunk after the detectives had made a search of it. I The powder found in Batler’s hatband when he was captured on the Swanhilda has again been analyzed by means of the sulphuric acid process, a final test. The result is the same as pubiisbed a few days ago. The powder proved to be strychnine in sufficient quantity to surely kill five men. Butler has been identified again as Richard Pascoe, a West of England sailor who arrived in this port on the British ship Dalbardern Oastle in 1890, Captain Jones of the British ship Flintshire has recognized the prisoner. “Butier was a sailor on the Castle,* said Jones, “and I was the vessel's first officer. We came to this port from Swan- sea with coal. Pascoe, as we knew him on board, had been sailing in coasting vessels, so he said, and came originally from the west of England. I bad an ex- perience With him that caused me to re- member him well. “Soon after the ship sailed from Swan- sea the fellow began to make trouble. He was quiet the first few days out, but soon showed his ugly spirit. He quarreled with the sailors and fought, “Butler became so unruly he had to be | placed in irons.” Butler spent an uneveuntful day in the City Prison yesterday. Few visitors were permitted to see him and a large number had to go away disappointed. He was anxious to make as presentable | an appearance a8 possible in the Federal court to-day, and at his request the ser- vicesof E. P. Roche, the barber, on Lar- kin street, opposite the hall, were called into requisition. Captain Robinson was care ul to handeuff Butler's hands behind his back, so that he could not get a chance to obtain possession of the razor, if he felt that way inclined. There is a growing feeling that Butler has no desire to return to Australia to be hanged for his fiendish crimes and that he will avail bimself of the first opportuniiy to end his lile. Every possible precaution s consequently being taken by Captain Robinson and the City Prison officials to prevent such a contingency so long as he remains in their charge. A trusted “trusty” is in the cell with Butler all night, and during the day he is con- stantly under surveillance, Captain Lees is patiently waiting for developments in regard to Butler’s life in Canada, and feels satisfied that he will be successful before Builer leaves for Aus- tralia. Delinquent Taxes and Jury Fees. City and County Attorney Creswell has rendered to Auditor Broderick the following opinion: “I am of the ovinion that the ciaimof a juror against the City for jury fees cannot be allowed by the Auditor without first deduct- ing therefrom the amount due the treasury from the juror for delinquency in the pay- ment of bis taxes. The tax isa debt dus the | | for he admits that treasury within the meaning of section 82 of the consolidation act, which provides, among other things, that ‘no demand upon the treas- ury shali be allowed vy the Anditor in favor of any person or officer in any manuer in- debted “thereto without first deducting the amount of such indebtedness.” | “In the concurring opinion in the case of the San_Francisco Ges Company vs. Brick- wede! (62 Cai., 643), the following language occurs: ‘A taxpayer should not be allowed to have a claim against a municipal corporation satisfied when he owes to such corporation the money which goes to furnish the means of discharging his claim.’” EMOTIONAL BANKRUPTCY. James McLean Tells the Story of How His Insolvency Was Caused by Mrs. Susan E. Currie. James McLean is a picturesque bank- rupt. He owes $51548, according to his own statement, yet has assets that in his estimation ought to yield $48,238. This is almost equal to the New Orleans man that General Grant used to tell about who was reckoned by his neighbors to be worth $50,000 because he had two bull pups | valued (by him) at $25,000 each. | Mr. McLean has a formula for insect powder, which he thinks is really worth $15,000, and he has a contract for tue right | to make and sell this commodity in Ans- tralia, whereby he is to receive $14, and prefits on ail sent from the Antipodes to the United States. Nor is thisall. Mr. McLean says he has a right of action against Mrs. Susan E. Currie for $20,000 damages for slander. and he might just as well have made it $100,000 or $1,000,000, e knows nothing of the lady’s financial ability to respond in case of successful litigation. | This same lady, Mrs. Currie, holds his note for $400, but he avers that it is tainted by the fact that it was secured -by durass, namely, threats to prosecute for alleged wrongdoing. He alleges that his insol- vency grows out of the persecution of Mrs. gprrie, who drove all his customers from im.
