10 DELAYED BY HEAD WINDS AND STORMS|. Mail Steamer Z:alandia a Week Late Reaching Sydney. Her Bottom Was Covered With Barnacles so She Could Not Make Time. Caught in Last Week’s Ncrthwester When Only a Day’s Sail . From Port. The Ocesnic Steamship Company’s steamer Zealandia got in yesterday. What with head winds, heavy seas and a bottom covered with barnacles, sne had a hard trip of it on her way to Australia. She was overdue at Auckland, N. Z., and as & hurricane that not only blew down houses but caused the loss of hife on the island had prevailed just before she was &ue, the Government officials were naturally anx- jous about the mail steamer. When she was a week overdue Postmaster-General Bliss thought it was time to take action. A steamer answering the description of the Zealandia had been sighted near the Bayof Islands by the Northern Steamship Company’s Clausman, and the conclusion was reached that it was the overdue Zeal- andia. The big steamer Waitangi, belong- ing to the Union Steamship Company,and the Upolu were put in commission to search for the missing liner. While the two vessels named were out searching the islands that bar the entrance to Auckland the Zealandia steamed in and was at anchor when the Waitangi returned to port. The whole cause of the trouble was the foul bottom of the mail steamer. When it was found necessary to lay up the Mari- posa the only vessel available to take her place was the Zeaiandia. The latter had been laid up for months at Martinez and in consequence her bottom was covered with barnacles. She was taken to the sugar refinery for an overhauiing and there the refuse from the oil works made another coating on the hull. When ready to sail the vessel was no: in a condition to make ten knots an hour. It was a case of willy-nilly, however, and as the Mariposa could not go out the Zealandia had to take her place. 2 After reaching Sydney the Zealandia was placed on the drydock and ail the barnacles were scraped off. On the return trip good time was mada until the coast of California wasresched. Then the north- wester that caused so much trouble among the local shipping was encountered. Time end again the big ship was buried and several of the crew bad narrow escapes. On one occasion a wave broke aboard that not only gutted the cabin but broke through the staterooms occupied by the purser and chief officer ana did consider- able damage. Allof Friday night the ves- sel was in the trough oi the sea, with the gale blowing forty miles an hour, and every one of the passengers were seasick. The steerage steward and one of the passengers were caught on deck when a sea broke aboard. They made for the for- ward rigging and escaped with a_ goud wettinz. ~The Zealandia took a heavy roll to port and went rail under. Another sea came along and drenched the two un- fortunates. There was a row aboard before'the Zea- landia reached New South Wales, and in consequerce four of the men were dis- charged. It was a local fight ana every- body on board regarded it as a scrapping- match among the sailors. The work of dismantling the Zealandia was becun yesterday and by next Wednes- day the Mariposa will have her oid crew sboard again. The Zealandia will then be taken pback to Martinez ana will re- main there until she is wanted again to fill a gap in the Central American or Aus- tralian trade. The lastoccasion on which she went on the Mail route was in Decem- ber, 1890, and on that occasion she made good iime, but was delayed between Auckiand and Sydney owing to a break in the machinery. The passengers on the Zealandia were: Sydney—W. T. Anderson, A: S. Ginger, H. Ayrion, E. Reisch, R. B. Bel Leroux, P. Nutte, C. H. Musser, Dr. R L ing, Mrs. J. Green, C. C George Buchauan, S. Apla—Aibert Henry. Auckiand—Mr. and M Postle- ‘aptain McCalmont and wife, Dr.John Peacock, Mr. and Mrs. O. Krauss, . Flanders and the Misses s (2), M. C. Prater and wife, J. C. Wer- rin, W. 8. Werrin, Miss A. Pearce, J. P. Blake, R. H. Draper, wife and child, Miss P, Gournet, B. T. McCulloch, W. Waterhouse, H. Austin, W. Austin, M. Brash, A. J. Cartwright, G. Stew- &rt, Mr. Ables, Mr. Cowart. The Merchants’ Exchange received the following news by the Zealandia: Honolulu—Arrived February 24, Hawailan barkentine Rosalie rrom Chemalnus for Ger- aldton, Australia. Put in on account of hav- ing sprung aleak on February 2. Vessel wiil g0 0n the wavs to learn extent of damages. Arrived March 3, British sealing schooner Agues Mucdonald from Victoria, on account of baving lost the rudder and sustained other damages, The Germen bark J. C. Glade, while leaving port February 24 for Kahului to take on re- mainder of cargo for New York, went sground on the Waikiki side of the channel, between the first two buoys, was towed off half an hour later by the tug Elen, and proceeded out to sea. When three milgs out of port the main tie ot the upper topsail was carried away and the topsail yard came down on a run. The upper yard dropped on the lower topsail yard and both the upper topsail lifts were carried away. Thestundard of the lower main top- sail yard was bent and as no_bracing around 10 one side or the other could be done, had to return to port for repairs. Repaired and sailed again March 1 for Kanului. Purser Smith of the Marposa is to take 2 well-earned holiday next month, snd his place will be taken by Mr. Walton, the popular freight clerk on Pacific-street wharf., Mr. Smith will thus bave nearly three months ashore, while Mr. Walton will yet a deep-sea run that he has not hau for years. The friends of Captain Antone Ander- son will be more than pleased to hear that he is alive and well, and, with bis com- panions, is aboard the sealing schooner Kate and Anna. Nearly a month ago be went out hunting from the schdoner Ep- pinger in'the Santa Barbara chinnel. A fog came up and the tnree men were not heard from until yesterday, when a tele- gram reached John Oppenheim, the well- known ciothier, stating that the men had been picked up, and would rejoin the schooner on the first opportunity. Cap- tain Anderson was formerly master of the schooners Alton and Annie Mathilda. The fight between the Sece Yups and the Sam Yups wrs carried to the water front yesterday. Yu Kee formerly kept a dry- goods store on Dupont street, between .Jackson and Washington, but a See Yup boycott compelled him to sell out. white man bought out the place, but not a Chinese would patronize the place as long as Yu Kee's stock was on the shelves. Finally the stock of dry goods was sold to a downtown clothing establishment and and Mi yesterday Yu Kee was escorted to the’ ferries, put aboard the ferry-boat and told never to come back to Ssn Franoisco again. He has gone to Fresno, where the 8am Yups are in force, and the chances are that more trouble will follow in conse- quence of his expulsion from Chinatown. The new steamer Humboldt had her . trial trip on the bay yesterday and proved berself to be everything that her owners #cd puilders pxpgeted. She is splendidly The Steamer Zealandia in Last Week’s Northwester.

She will begin her initial voyage next Wednesday, and nearly all” the cabin accommodation is already taken up. Captain “Pete’’ Ott, the most popular pilot, without exception, in 8an Francisco, is one of the happiest men on the waier front. His wife presented him with twin cons a couple of days ago, and now the pilots are scanning 8 long list of names daily in order to be ready for the christen- ing. Mrs. Ott will be about again in a few days and the proud father vows that the first outing the youngsters shall have will be a cruise outside the heads on tne crack pilot-boat America. The latest candidate for Harbor Com- missioner is Major P. J. Harney, the pres- ent Port Warden. The names of Rudolph Herold, Colln M. Boyd, A. M. Welburn { and Stewart Menzies have also been men- tioned at various times, but the Governor has not made any selection so far and no one knows who will be the Commissioner to succeed Dan. T. Cole next week. SUHOOLHOUS: NEEDED. Citizens of Sunnyside Adopt Resolu- tions Setting Forth Their Wants. A mass-meeting of the residents of Sunnyside took place Friday evening to take action in regard to better school facil- ities which were promised them a year sgo. John A. Johnson was appointed chairman snd John Barrett secretary. Chairman Johnson stated the object of the meeting and the wants of the district. The Sunnyside district is growing rapidly. There are at present twenty-three houses ouilding and the coming summer will see Sunnyside outstrip competitos in that respect. On motion of D. F. Wyckoff a committee of three were appointed to draft resolutions setting forth the wantsof the people as follows: Resolved, That we petition the Board of Edu- cation for'a new schoolhouse, as the accommo- dations at present afforded are insufficient for the requirements of this rapidly growing dis- trict. When the school was first opened on the 34 of February, 1896, there were twenty- three pupils. Since that time the number has increased to sixty-seven, besides a great num- ber who are obliged 10 g0 to other s2hools out- side of the district, which is very inconvement as well as being unpleasant during the winter season. We desire to express our appreciatiou of the services rendered by Teachers Miss C. F. Rior- dan and Miss Brown, who are doing their utmost for the welfare of the children placed in their care. The resolutions were signed by D. H. ‘Wyckoft, C. Niles and W. Wilson. LIABILITY FOR ERROR. Suit Agalnst the Western Union Tele- graph Company. Justice of the Peace Carroll had before him a case yesterday involving the que: tion of neglizence on the part of the Wes ern Union Telegraph Company in deliv- ering a message at Niles. Some time ago William H. Ford, according to his testi- mony, had & suit against Code, Elfelt & Co. of this City. A message was sent to him by the Western Union Telegraph Company’s lines for tue purpose of in- forming kim that the hour set for the bearing of the case was 10A. M. When the dispatch reached him it told him that 1o'clock was the hour. He was not pres- ent when the case was called and it went by default. ‘Then the suit heara yester- day,in which Rauer was the nominal complainant against the Western Union Telegraph Company, was brought. There was no attempt on the partof witnesses to deny that there had been a mistake in the transmission of the mes- sage, but it was set up that the company specifically sets forth on all its blanks that if certainty of accuracy 18 essential the should be repeated, which was in this case; 0 that on the day in guestion there was a bad break in the wires owing to bad weath: Justice Carroll took the case under advisement. ——————— SOUGHT AND FOUND DEATH. Two Unfortunates Who Committed Sui- cide by Inhaling Illuminating Gas. Two more unfortunates sought death and oblivion by the gas route on Friday night and yesterday their bodies were taken to the Morgue to await identifica- tion and the verdict of “‘snicide” that bas been rendered by juries in so.many cases of late. Ernst Huter, whose body wasdiscovered in a room of the lodging-house at 15 Eday. street, was a cook, about 37 years of age, and had recent!y worked at the Pabst cale and the Oberon. No cause is known why he should commit suicide. Marx Schul, s married man, 50 years old, unscrewed tne gas fixtures in a room at 2221 Fourth street, where he resided, to insure a free flow of gas and then lay down to die. His body was found at an early hour yesterday morning. Schuhl had a wife and three children in Portiand, Or., from whom he had been separated for several years, and for some ;im. past had been supported by a nephew ere. ——— Forged Bank Note: The Scotiand Yard authorities have notified the local banks that forged Bank of England notes are sgain in circulation.

The Residents West of College Hill Clamor for Improvements Which Are Very Much Needed. The joint action of Mission Road. Ingle- side and Ocean View Improvement clubs is being planned with the view of drawing the attention of the Supervisors to the necessity of improving their territory. Those of the Mission Road petition for protection against’ fire. They claim that not even an alarm-box is located within two miles from the center of the district, and also that there are no hydrants on the line of Mission road, not to mention the side streets and avenues running into that thoroughfare. Another complaint is that there are no 88as or water mains on the streets. The Ingleside and Lake View Club com- plain of all these evils; and,in addition, complain of having neither gas nor elec- tric lights from San Jose avenue to Ingle- side, a distance of three miles, thus com- pelling them either to provide themselves with dark lanterns or remain_indoors on mfhn when there is no moonlight. The Ocean View people came next and asked for additional fire protection, better streets and an avenue by which they can get to the park without having to come into Valencia and Haight streets, and also a direct opening to the county road. In conclusion, all join in trying to have the pound limits exiended, that meander- ing goats and cows bedebarred the luxury of destroying their gardens. They ignore the economical plea on the grounds thag they have been paying heavy taxes into the City treasury for the past Ionyfiyuru without getting any returns or benefits from the same. In difference and neglect they claim have kept back the entire neighborhood and vrevented people from buildine or improving their prop- erty. To provide to meet the greater por- tion of those wants and necessities is now the aim and object of the i clubs nwntiom-J e improvement U4To-day at 3 o'clock §. H.

He Was a San Francisco Lock- smith and a Member of the English Colony. Mrs. Nye cf Corte Madera, Who Ls! Saw:the Nai, Says He Acted in a Peculiar Manner. Charles A. Woodhouse; a locksmith em- ployed by the Will & Finck Comvany, 818 Market street, was killed, probably by a train, in the long tunnel under McCue's Hill, in Marin County, Friday evening, and his mangled body was discovered yesterday morning by a trackwalker. The facts surrounding .the death of Woodhouse point to a mystery, and the officials of the North Pacific Coast Railroad say that they believe the man committed suicide. The relatives of the dead man deny this and say that Wood- house was in the habit of taking trips into the country, and they believe the train overtook him unawares, Mrs. Nye, who lives near Corte Madera station, was the last to see the man alive. She says that on Friday evening she noticed Woodhouse walking on the track toward the tunnel, and called the attention of her son to the fact, saying that the 5:45 train from San Francisco would overtake the man in the tunnel. Mrs. Nye says she noticed that the msn was wringing his hands and muttering to himsetf. Engineer John Driscoll and Fireman John Williams were in the engine on the trip connecting with the boat from the City, and they both assert that they looked clear through the tunnel and failed to see any person on the track. ‘The body when taken in charge by Coroner Eden yesterday morning was in a terribl- condition. The head and both arms had been -evered from the body and the features horribly mutilated. Besides a card containing his name and address, 510A Jones street, there were found a silver watch and $1 10 in change. Superintendent K. H. Shoemaker of the Nortn Pacific Coast road said that tne coat ami hat belonging to Woodhouse were found lying on the side of the tunnel uninjured. Woodhouse must have been standing between the uprights in the tunnel and woen the train came through either lost his balunce or threw himsell before the engine and was killed. It was learned yesterday that Wood- house-left the City Friday on the 1:45 boat to San Rafael. He left a card on the door of his department in Will & Finck’s, stating that he would return at 2:15 . M., but whether the message had reference to Friday or yesterday Mr, Finck could not say. The ed, who is about 45 ye: of age, told his son and daughter that he was going across the and would not be_back until late in the evening. Yesterduy they received the distressing news that their father had been killed by the San Rafael local train. The family profess absolute ignorance of the purpose of Woodhouse’s trip across the bay. Those who know him personally reject the hypothesis of suicide as highly im- probable. He was & man of quiet_habits and re- spected by everybody. His position with Will & Finck was an assured one and he had served the firm for nearly eight years. He was an Englishman by birth and a member of Burnapy Lodge, Sons of St George since its fonndation twelve years ago, and also of 8t. George’s Club.” His wife died three years ago and be has since lived with his son, a young man of 21, and his daughter, a girl of 14. The funeral will take place Tuesday, under the auspices of :hat society. WOMAN'S VOTE NEEDED. Mrs. Mary Hoffman, Temporance Treas- urer, So Advocates Check to Ligdor Trafic, ; Mrs, Mary Hoffman of Kansas City, Mo., grand treasurer of the National Woman’s Coristian Temperance Union, now on a speech-making tour of this State, ad- dressed an audience of about 300 women and some men Friday night in the First Congregational Church. Nominally her subject was temperance, but practically it was woman suffrag: asa means to the end. Beginning with a dis- cussion of labor and immigration ques- tions, with New York City as a sad exam- ple of corrupt political leadership, where the illiterate and depraved exert a great power at the polls, she passed on to the history of the accomplishments of the ‘W. C. T. U, and remarked that its success had ever been due more tolocal option than to legislative enactments, With mild sarcasm and intended humor she came nearer home in her later comments u} on the liquor business and the want of intel- gence and capable interest of many of those by whose vote the trafficis generally permitted. She expressed surprise and regret that cities and towns of California have an unusually large number of sa- loons. Many were the nods nd smiles of approval from her bonneted auditors and occasionally a littie flutter of applause would follow some particularly accepta- ble sally. During her discourseshe expressed these thoughts: “The great mistake of the movement is that it has been carried on outside the church instead of in the cburch. Isay don’tgo to your halls for your temperance work; gorightinto your churches and carry on the movement there with Carisuan influences. ““We do whatever is expedient, and what does God think of such mes.ods? We freed the negroes because it was a military necessity, and we_enfranchised them be- cause it was a political necessity. What we ougnt to do is from a sense of righteous- ness rather than from a sense of expedi- mperence ency. ‘%ne saloon-keeper is always as gzood as the saloon he keeps, and the saloon he keeps is always as good asthe Councilmen that license its, and the saloon is always good as the Legisiature that made the saloon law, and the legislators are always as good the good Christian men that elected them.” ) Several very agreeable vocal selections were rendered by a quartet of young womeun. This evening Mrs, Hoffman will speak In the Cslifornia-street Methodist Church forthe last time in this City, and Tuesday ev: X she will speak at Berkeley. ———— PINTO WILL RECOVER.
