Geod Frilay Was Obs:rved as Ho'iday on All the British Merchantmen. One of the overdue fleet got in from the Sound yesterday. The little schooner Lizzie Prien made an unusually long run of twenty days from Tacoma. Her owners bad given her up as lostand | were much surprised tolearn that she was passing through the Golden Gate. When she reached the Golden Gate Lumber Company’s wharf in Oakland Creek no one was more surprised than the manager of the concern. The little boat did not engage a tug, but with a fresh breeze sailed up the bay and making the mouth of the creek sailed in and the breeze hold- ing good made her landing without assist- ance. “We never expected 1o see the ves- i sel again,” said George Fisher, manager of the company. “She was an unusually long time out, and judging from the re- ports of the weather and the hard times that other vessels had encounterea we naturally feared the worst. However, Prien is safe and sound in Oakland | Creek.” | The Lizzie Prien sailed from Tacoma twenty days ago,”’ said Captain Anderson | yvesterday, ‘‘while the Samaria left a week | ahead of us. Ihe first day out we got it hot and heavy, and from that on it was & successlon of sharp gales and calms. We passed no wreckage and saw no vessels in ihe distance.

The owners of the missing vessel have nothing to say about the untii arter the return of the revenue-cutter Rush. Y terday was practically a Sunday on the water front. Being Good Friday, not as at work and all the men were uptown having a good time. The American ships kept right on, however, and on one side of the Pacific- street wharf might be seen the Australia loading and unloading prior to her de- pariure for Hawaii next Tuesday, while the other side of the dock was the ard, lying in idleness at her moorings. Nearly all the British fleet bad their flags at balf- tile marine no notice was taken of the | ay. Chief Officer R. T. Lawless of t'e Aus- ‘l tralia ran across an old acquaintance in | onolulu last voyage. He was walking | along the mein street when he saw aman- | of-warsman approaching whom he thought | he knew. After a second look he ex-| claimed, *‘Hello, Somers, old man, bow | are you?” The sailor stopped ston- | ishment and then managed to say, *“Wny, | Lawless, is_that you?” Just thirty-one | vearsago Lawless was a boy aboard the | old schoolship Sabine and he and Somers | were mates. The latter used to play the organ on Sundays, and many a time the two sailors sang to the same Sccompani-| ment. Lawless served through the last | year of the war and then joined the mer- | chant marine, Somers stayed in the navy and is pow gunner on the Marion, sta- | tioned at Honolulu. General Manager Pryor of the Piper, Aden, Goodall Company was determined to see just how matters were under water | in reeard to the wieckage of the steamer | Sunol yesterday, so he went down in a diving suit. Strange to say, he did not re- | turn empty-handed, but brought back with him the nickel-in-the-slot machine, i in which was found $195 and ten lead ! nickels. Pryor is now satistied that his silver mine is a paying one and the work He made | his way over lead bars and poked around | until lie bad a fair knowledge of the sur- roundings. Then a big Sacramento River salmon took a look at the diver and Pryor | zave a frantic pull at the rope to be hauled on deck again. He thoueht it was a shark. Diver Dolph and the crew of the schooner tried their best to persuade Mr. Pryor from making the descent; but he persisted, and made a success of the venture. In talking about the matter yesterday, Mr. Pryor said that the work of recovering the remainder of the bullion would be slow, as it was incumbered with wreckage. According to him, the greater part of tne bullion will be recovered and nearly all the steamer’s fixtures. Since Pryor has taken char. e of the work of salving the wreck remarkable progress has been made. Fuliy $356,000 worth of bul- lion has been recovered und the good work still goes on.

The Defendant Says He Was Never N:ar Enough to the Waiter to Use His Testh. The trial of ex-Senator W. D. Grady of Fresno on a charee of mayhem came up yesterday before Justice of the Peace Car- roll, acting in Police Court 3 in lien of | few feet away. The prosecution brought forth a half dozen witnesses, employes of the Or- pheum, wko saw Grady hit Waiter Prim- Toe in the eye and knock bim down. After this exploit he knocked down a sec- ond waiter and finally grapplea with the ear off. Primroe and Shafer, whisky merchant; Stewart William Munch, E. M. Rosener, Henry Cornero, Cari Steffens, all musicians, and others were positiv- about seeing the defenaant | and Snafer in close contact and of seeing | the waiter's bleeaing ear efter the melee. The defense was well backed also by | testimony to the effect that at no time | was Grady close enough to the complain- | ing witness to bite his ear. There was John H. Hogan, an attorney, | W. W. Phillips, an ex-banker from | Fresno, a boy named Stevens and Jobn | White, 'all friends of Grady, who saw some stranger, an unknown man, separate the | defendant and Shafer as soon as they | came together. | spilling of blood. ix-Senator Grady told his own tale, acknowledging he had knocked down two waiters because one of them hed insulted a friend of his by pushing his feet off the j table. He had not tried to bite Shafer. I counldn’t reach him, and L was not given time in which to do it,”’ the Fresno | gentleman stated. “Tae officer's testimony is correct.

Grady is sccused of engaging in a bar- room riot in the Orpheum annex on the early morning of January 20 last, during which he bit off part of William Shafer’s lelt ear. W. W. Foote and ex-Judge Levy repre- sented the defendant and C. F. O'Calla- ghan. prosecuting attorney of the court, handled the case for the people. Attor- ney Charles Ackerman, the regalar coun- 1 for the Orpheum, has been prominent as special counsel in the case since Grady’s arrest, but he failed to show up yesterday when the case was called up for the six- teenth time. William Shafer, the waiter who svuffered disfiguration during the fight, was pres- ent in his entirety—that is, the main por- tion of bim sat next to the prosecuting attorney and the remainder that had been est to me that I would bite his — head off.” The defense offered its case without ar- gument. / Prosecuting Attorney O'Callaghan asked for a continuance until esday or ‘Wednesday for bis argument, as he de- sired to consult with Attorney Ackerman, who had had charge of the case up to date.

Points in the Brief Prepared by G n- eral Hart—Important Tariff Hints. During his recent visit to Washington, D. C., General W. H. H. Hart, leading counsel in the Biythe estate litization, ar- ranged to have the final contestin this grent struggle for the possession of mil- lions set for May 10, little more than three weeks from the present day. While at the National capital he also paid considerablo attention to tariff legis- lation, and in an interview since his re- | turn voiced some interesting opinions cf value to the Pacific Coast. General Hart left for Washington on March 25 and returned about ten days ago. Few were aware of his return, as he at once closeted himself in his office and devoted his entire time to the preparation of a brief to be filed in the United States Supreme Court in connection with the writ of error askad for by the attorneys for the gypsy or Kentucky Blythes. This has now been completed and copies of it have been served on the plaintiffs’ attor- neys. In applying for the writ of error, 1t will be remembered, the attorney for the laintiffs made the point that. Florence Iythe, having been born in England, and not having come into the United States before the death of her father, was | &n alien, and bemng an alien she could not inherit property in the State of California without there being a provision in the treaty between Great Britain and the United States permitting her to do so. In other words Jefferson Chandler, assistant | counsel for the plaintiffs, claimed that an alien can only inherit when a treaty ex- pressly permits it, and that the States e no authority, by reason of their sovereignty, to pass any law allowing aliens to inherit, unless so permitted to do by treaty. ““We meet this contention,” said Gen- eral Hart, in discussing the matter, “with several propositions in the brief tuat will be filed at Washington a few days before the matter comes up for hearing before the Supreme Court. *'On Judge Coffey finding in the trial of the Blyche estate that the gypsv (or Ken- tucky) Blythes were not related to Blythe they appealed from that decision, ana the Supreme Court of California sustained Judge Coffey. Therefore that decision became final as against them in the Su- preme Court of California. Wé contend in our brief before the United States Su- reme Court that the writ of error shoufd Ee dismissed, because if those appealing are not related to Blythe it is none of their business whether Florence was re- iated to Blythe or not. That is to say, they were not aggrieved by the decision of the State court unless they were re- Iated to Blythe. As the State court held that they were not related to Blythe on their own showing, therefore they were not interested parties. This is our first point. *The second point is that the contest of heirship under section 1664 of the Code of Civil Procedure wis ended in the Superior Court October 22, 1890, and ended in the Court, as to thel gypsy Blythe: on the 24th of April, 1894, and therefore they shonld bave sued out their writ of NEW TO-DA' RANDSBURG Has been made famous by the Val Verde Gold Mines.

INVESTMENTS, error, if at all, within the two years from the 24th of April, 1894; that 15 to say, on or before the 24th of April, 1896. Having failed to do so they are barred from at- tacking the questions involved in that contest upon a writ of error. “The thitd point is that the right of Florence 1o inherit is and was governed by the laws of the State of Culifornia, for the reason that Blythe was a citizen of California and resided therein, and that therelore California laws applied to his property, bis citizenship and her capacity to be adopted and to inherit. We claim that it is not a Federal question, neither isit the province of a treaty to determine as to whether California property can be inherited by an ali “Fourth and last, we claim that there is no Federal question involved in the pro- ceedings before the State courts and was not involved at the time of the disposition of the estate, and that therefore the Su- reme Court of the United States has no Jurisdiction in the premises.” In support of these contentions numer- ous citations are made, the principal one ing the case of the United States against Fox (94 U. S, 315, page 321), Wwhere the Supreme Court held that the tenure of real property and the right of descent and inheritance are governed Wholly by the laws of the State in which the property is situated. Relerring to the tariff situation, General Hart took up the defense of the nickel in- dustry of the Pacific Coast. ““In the bill that passed the House,” he said, ‘‘nickel was placed on the free list, as well as nickel plate. There are large deposits of nickel,” he continued, *in Oregon, Nevada and in the Northwest— nickel deposits large enough to supply the entire demands of the United States.” We have a sufliciently large demand in the United States to warrant the employment of 1000 men, which means a living for 5000 people. *“The nickel ore we get now comes from Canada and is contained in copper ore, and is refined by the Ansonia Brass Com- pany. The capper that is in the ore pays for the transportation from the mine and the refining, so that the nickel is ail practically “profit. _Canads, therefore, does not want a tariff placed on nickel by the United States. The duty should be at least 10 cents a pound. “The people who own these nickel mines in the Unitea States say positively that if we let nickel in free tiey wounid not be able to mine their property at all. It would practically eliminate the in- dustry from this country. “I have no douht the Senators from Calfornia would be very glad to see that nickel is taken out of the free list and put in the scheduie. But they nsed some one to call their attention to it, and I know of no paper better able to do this than TaE Carr. ““Another important matter and one to which the attention of the peovle of the Pacific Coast should be called is the rule that was adopted by the Senate commit- tee for the consideration of guestions re- lating to the provosed tariff bill. No argu- ments will be permitted, buc any person inierested may forward to the committee tppewritten or printed arguments on any questions they desire and they will be fully considered.” In Town Talk.
