The full account of the stranding of-the British ship Ulrica on the Little Copeland Island, nedr Belfast; was received by Messrs. Mitchell and Badlam of this City from Captain -J. Johnston yesterday. The | Ulrica left .hera ofi- August.22 last for | Liverpool, and while the news of her loss has been chroniciéd, the full tale has never been told. Captain-Johdston in his letter | says: e nl “All went :well till “otir arrival off | Queenstown, where we received orders to | proceed to Dublin to discharge our cargo. When off the'Tuskar we engaged a tug to tow_the ship to Dublin...\When within | three miles of our destination 'a.gale from the southeast’ sprang up. and the tug be- ame- useless, so’ she stipped her hawser and we put to sea.. The weather becom- ing worse I made for Belfast Lough to | anchor. It was very stormy, the ship got | into a tide' race, ivouldn't answer her | belm, and to miake a fong story suart, she | wis piled high and dry on the rocks. The | rest of the story is taken from the Belfast ws Letter and you'will see from it that | The clipping-from the News Letter is as follow: | CRACKAJACKS OF THE ROAD RACE Sunday’s great bicycle bandicap over the San Leandro triangle was the principal theme of conversation among the members of cycling clubs yesterday in t heir various meeting places. The wonderfuily fast time made by Delmas over a rough country road was praised by all, while the others who made good time and won prizes were not forgotten. ‘" Special praise was given to the great efforts made by Bozio, Davidson, Delmas, Wing, Griffiths and Smith for their wonderful performance fror start to finish. the place prize, for which Davidson gave him such a close call. and set the pace for those who started with him, had undoubtedly the hardest task before him. Bozio, however, came in for extra praise because of his hard-fought battle for In the race Davidson, who was unacquainted with the road Leaving his bunch, with one grand spurt he darted aheaa and overtook the bunch ahead of him—the only one between him and the tape—carry- ing with him Bozio, who won the first prize for place. His work showed him to be a first-class rider. Delmas, who is rec- ognized as one of the most prominent wheelmen of the amateur class, and who succeeded in making the fastest time, hardly did as much as those who knew him had anticipated. Gnffiths, because of his well-known generaiship in calculating time and distances, had been backed as a possible winner, and his finally leading the bunch of fast riders after a hard contest showed his superiority over his competitors. After the tug cast off the master of the Ul rica took proper measures Jor her safety. The | master of the Ulrica was justified in attempt- | ing to enter Belfast Lough ana the court was of opinion that e took prci)er precautions in | order-i0 do so.- When ihe Ulrica beceme un- manageablo the meesures taken by the master were proper, so far as they went, and it was probable if the anchors had been letgp that the cabies would have parted. The yessel ap- peared to have been mavigated with proper and seamanlikocare. The cause of the casualty was-that the vessel became tnmenagesble hnd broacied Lo in aspring tide race and,aithough | ihe foresasl was set and the mizzen topsail was taken im, she refused to obey the helm or to y off and, consequently, ran ashore o t ittle Copeland Islana. The master of the U WA K the timi d had been tor previvus attending to his duties rt-considers that although the ca- | bles might have parted the anchors ought to have been let go, but eonsidered this omission to be an error pf-judgment and did not attach | nlame to the master.of the Ulrica. . Captain johnston hasa host of friends in San Francisco and they will be giad to know that he was not onl{ cleared of all biame, but that he is likely to be placed in - commarnd “of a 'steamer in the near future.

The schooners Nicoline and Jennette will fit out fora trading cruise in the Arctic, while_the steam whaler Belvedere and the bark Mer- maid are fitting out at Howard-street wharf. Nearly all the whalers will go out thisseason and in spite of the fact that nearly all the men were paid off witha dollar- last year they are crowding over each-other 1n their eagerness to get away. Among the cannery vessely the first to got. away was the big steam-schooner Jeanie. She took away a full load of sup- plies, and a new cannery somewhere in Cocks Inlet will be put up. The ship Centennial is now di-charging her ballast at Fremont-street wharf. After that is completed she will go alongside the ship Sterling and take in a part cargo of coal; afterward she will be loaded with stores and wil! go to Copper River. She will be the-first of the Alaska Packers’ Associa- tion’s fleet to get away, The ship Amer- ica will follow the Centennial, and about a dozen others are being fitted out for the coming season. The Pacific'Steam Whaling Company and the Alaska Packers’ Association are ‘both fighting for the best fishermen. So 1ar the advantage is with the latter con- cern. The sssociation is paying its men $50-for the trip to Alaska and back and 4 cents each for ordinary and 10 cents for each king salmon caught. The company pays 20 men (the crew) on each vessel $40 for the round trip and $15 a month while at the canneries. .

Magdelina Wittemeler Sentenced by Judge Coffey for Contempt. Mrs. Magdelina Wittemeier was sen- tenced to jail by Judge Coffey yesterday for contempt of court until she consents to comply with an order to pay $500 to At- torney J. C. Hughes. The money was found to be due on ac- count of services performed by the lawyer in the estate of J. G. Wittemeier, deceased, of which Mrs. Wittemeier is executrix. Mr. Hughes wanted his money and the executrix refused to pay, although the court had adjudged it to be due. Attorney M. C. Hassett made an argu- ment before Judge Coffey urging that there were other legal complications that ought to be taken into consideration, but Attorney Benjamin contended that the lady’s defiance of the court’s order was not based on & bona-fide difference of opinion. This view was accepted by Judge Coffey and Mrs. Wittemeier was remanded tothe custody of the Sheriff, but subsequently slensed on her own recognizance until Thext Friday at noon, in order to allow time for appealing to the Supreme Court for a writ of habeas corpus. — Insolvent Printers. The R. M. Wood Company, printers and pub- lishers, 316 Battery street, by Winfield Scott, president of the company, yesterday filed a peyition in insolvency.

Captain Magee took charge of the tug volved in this action is only $10,344 45, but if Mrs. Stanford should win her case in the Supreme Court the City treasury would be deprived of something like $500,000 annually in taxes on personal property owned by the Stanford estate, the Fair nitude. All the corporation lawyers of the State, and they are numerous, powerful, intelli- gent and resourceful, will join forces to defeat and overturn this decision, Plaintiff brings this action to recover the sum of $10,344 45 taxes, assessed against versonal property of the estate of Leland Stanford, deceased, for the fiscal year 1894-95, which sum plaintiff paid under protest. The personal property consists of stocks and bonds of foreign corpora- tions not doing business in this State, some of the ceriificates of which were on the tax day in the possession of plaintiff in San Francisco, and some were neither in San Francisco on the day of the death of Leland Stanford, nor on the tax day, nor since, but were and are held outside of the State of California as collateral security ijor the payment of loans, The issue presented to the court is upon the demurrer of defendant that the com- plaint does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. As against the demurrer plaintiff con- tends that to tax the stocks and bonds of foreign corporations the tangible property of which is and is _taxed outside of this State, would be double taxation under section 3608 of the Political Code, enacted March 7, 1881, whether the certificates of the same were or_were not in California first Monday in March, 1894, In on Judge Hebbard says: The casc of San Francisco vs. Fry, 63 Cal., 470, determines absolutely this question. In thiat case, which our Supreme Court decided in une, , it was distinctly held that shares of stock in a corporation, the tlnrble property tuated in another State and sub- tion under the laws thereo! owned by & resident of this snares bein Tel main 49. Furniture moved reasonsbly.* | are (axable hero without regard {0 the taxes ) such State, estate and other estates of similar mag- | | poration, owned by a resident of Nevad fmposed upon the corporate property; that the bibiion against double taxation only ap- plies to such taxation by the same State or jovernment. SO e ame effect are the cases, San Fran- cisco vs. Flood, 64 Cal. 504, ana Mackay et al. vs. San Francisco, 45 Fac. Rep. 696. In this Iatter case plaint{ffs were executors and sued on behalf of the estate of Theresa Fair, de- ceased, to recover taxes paid under protest upon bonds of a corporation crganized in Atizona, payable in New York and mortgaged in Arizona, and our Supreme Court heid, July 92,1896, that said bonds could be taxed in California as the property of a permanent resident of California, and that such taxation was not in contravention of the fourteenth amendment of the Federal constitation which gnarantees to all persons the equal protection of the laws. Under the ruling in these cases the general contention of plaintiff eannot be sustained. The next contention of plaintiff in support of her complaint 18 that asto the stocks and bonds situate outside of the State, not having been sent out of the jurisdiction With the in- tent to evade taxation here, they are not assessable against her for the reason that the same have & situs outside of the State af Cali- fornia and have neverat any time been in her possession or under her doininion or control. Plaintiff is a resident and citizen of Califor- nia, and Leland Stanford was a resident and citizen of California at the time of his death, In the case of San Francisco vs. Mackay, 4 West Const Revorter, 407, decided in Novem- ber, 1884, Sawyer, Circuit Judge, bels cerniing the situs of stock of & Californ “The situs of incorporeal, intangible, per- sonal property 10r purposes of taxation is that of the residence of the owner when living ont- side of the State as well as when living within it. * * + There is no definition, so far as] am aware, in_the constitution or statutes of California declaring what shall constitute the situs of such property (shares of stock) for the purpose of taxation or otherwise; and, in the absence of such definition, we must’ be governed by the general and well establishea Tules of 1aw on the subject, and that s that it follows the person of tie owner.” ‘This case and many others sustain the legal fiction twat certificates of shares of stocks and bonds are wherever the owner is. The remainder of piaintiff’s argument is to the effect that she cannot be taxed upon the stocks and bonds pledged in New Yor as col- lateral security for loaLs, because not being in her actual possession she is not chargeable witn them as executrix, and that being pledged they are not taxabie. An_executor is chargeable with property which was pledged by his decedent, as well as with property in the hands of third perties, to which decedent had good title at his death. Sce 7, Am. and Eng. Ency. Law, p. 242-247- 255. 'C. C. P., Sec. 1443. The pledging of the property gave the Dpledgee no titie to it,or to any part of it. The pledgee has merely a lien upon it, and the title to it is still in the pledgor. Shares of stock which have been pledged as collateral are taxable in the pledgor’s name. See Waltham Bank vs. Waltham, 10 Met. (Mass.) 334; Tucker va. Aiken, 7 N.H,, 118; atterman vs. Ingalls, 28 N. E. Rep. (Ohio) 168. Under the constitution and laws of this State certain deductions are allowed for debt, for the purpose of fixing assessment vaiua- tions. Article XIII, section 1, of the constitu- tion, provides for a reduction from solvent credits, of debts due to houa fide residents of this State, and the same provision is Te- enacted in'subdivision 8 of section 3629, Politi- cal Code, but this favor is not extended to debts of citizens of this State due to citizens of other States. Not following the initiative of a great many ermine- wearers in recent days, Judgo Hebbard pauses at this point with sufficient respect for the constitutionally recognized lawmakers'to say: 1f this rule be harsh in its application to the facts and circumstances of such a case as the one before the court, the amelioration thereof must come irom the Legisiature, and cannot come at first instance from the courts. After reviewing all the law that had been read in favor of Mrs. Stanford’s claim the decree of the court was as follows: The demurrer must be sustained, and as it is apparent that plamntiff cannot successfally amend, the action is dismissed. Assistant City Attorney Rhodes Borden, who had charge of this phase of the City’s litigation, expressed gratification over the result. He said: *I think Judge Heb- bard’s decision is good law, and I don’t see how the attorneys for the other side will be able to meet his logic when the matter Igoca to the Bupreme Court. So far as I can see the position taken by Judge Hebbard is unassailable and I can conceive of no contingency by which the City can be defeated In this controversy. The State constitution and the provisions of the codes appear to be conclusive. It is a signal victory for the people of the City and the State and I cannot foresee any chance for overturning this decision in the Supreme Court,” Divorce Suits Filea.

Sam Pinkerton Smashed Her- bert Atkinson in the Noss and Mouth. The Well-Knowa Anchorman Was Accused of Having So'd Out His Team. An exceadingly large crowd of thé lov- ers of athletic sport witnessed the second evening of the international tug-of-war tournament at the Pavilion, and as the contests were spirited the spectators left the Pavilion pleased with the results. It was aimost 9 o’clock when the Irish team put in an appearance. The team was a strong favorite in the betting, selling at $10, as against $3 on the Danes. Considerable money went into the pool- box, as it was rumored that the Danes could not possibly lose. The tug was short and spirited. The Irish were first to declare war, and putting their best endeavors into the struggle, they vanked the rope so hard that the indicator took a lively plunge along the stick for several inches, then it stopped short never to go over to Ireland again. The Danes, with one mighty effort, pulled big Robert Smith, the anchorman, off his seat and then the jig was up with the Irish lads. The indicator traveled with a rush over to Denmark and as it struck the winning post the judge pressed the trigger of hLis little gun and every- body but the losers who wagered on the Irish team cheered for Denmark. The second event of the evening wasa meeting of the Canadian and German teams. The betting was $10 to $6 in favor of the Canucks. At 9:10 o’clock the Judge again pressed the trigger of his little gun and they were off. The Canadians cut out a great pace and sent the dial down the stretch so fast that the Germans could do nothing. The Canadians won the pull in exactly 17 sec- onds. The Swedes, who were strong favorites in the betting, came upon the platform looking confident. Their opponents were the Norwegians. The Norwegians made a good start and gained three cleats before the Swedes checked their progress. The indicator remained stationary fo some little time, as the Swedes were tak- ing matters eas In the meantime the poolseller was busy taking in the money q:dnl. was wagered by the friends of either side. Bwedes made a gallant effort to win back lost ground, and the struggle was exciting. The dial siowly moved along the stick until it reached its original position, and there it stopped short. The Swedes, after a short rest, made another attempt to gain an advantage, but their opponents | were equal to the task, and held them well in hand. The next attempt the Swedes proved their superiority in rope-pulling, as they quickly got their opponents off their feet, so to speak, and the indicator shot along ths stick until it landed at tbe end, leaving tue Swedes winners of a well-contested struggle. Time, 8 min, 35 sec. The Scotch team, with Judge Campbell at its head, marched with firm step to the front, and the band played ‘“The Camp- bells Are Coming.”” The men received a warm reception. Their opponents were the Frenchmen, and they marched proudly to the platform as the band played “The Marsellaise,”” Betting was $10 to$2 in favor of the Scotch team. The French gained a slight advan- tage just as the pistol sounded. To the astonishment of the spectators the Frenchmen agamn gained five or six cleats, but there wasa lull and Anchor- man Herbert Atkinson was seen to rise from his seat under the pressure of a strong effort on the part of the French- NEW TO-DAY.

[t struck against the post and France was declared a winner. Sam Pinkerton of the Scotch team leaped like an enraged tiger from his posi- tion on the cleats and dashed at Anchor- man Atkinson, who received a couple of good stiff punches in the face. Kxcitement was now at fever heat.. Po- licemen ran to the rescue of Atkinson, and they bad their hands{ull in theen- deavor to subdue the inluriated Pinker- ton, who was full of ginger and fight.” The last-named athlete accused Atkin- son of having sold the team out to some gamblers, and he was backed up in his opinion by other members of the team. After the battle was overand the pullers retired to their dressing-rooms there was loud talking and threats among the con- testants until some of the belligerents were escorted by the officers:from the building. As the pull was in progress the betting grew stronger in favor. of the | Frenchmen. The announcer reported just as the next contest was about to take place - that the referee had investigated the cause of the disturbance, and found that it was only a misunderstanding between Atkinson and Pinkerton. * The last contest was between the United States team and the Italian tearn, and the Americans won_a good. .victory.
