Lookout at Point Lobos Kept Busy Reporting Arrivals | and Departures, | the Water Front on Which to Hold Meetings. Tne Golden Gate was alive with <hip- ping yesterday. The new sbip Australian, | 138 days, and the Cardiganshire, 147 days, | from Swansea; the barkentine Planter, | nineteen days from Kahului; tne four- masted schooner Murial, eighteen days from Honoipu; the Manuel Llaguno, 131 days from New York, were among the ar- rivals, while the Mariposa sailed for Aus- tralia and the Cleveland for Puget Sound. In the case of the Puget Sound boat there was a great deal of interest. The rate on the Umatilla, which sails to-day, will be | $8 cabin and $4 steerace, while the opno- | sition boat charged only $5 cabin and §250 steerage. While all these big vessels were coming and going coasting steamers and Jumber ‘vessels were entering and departing, mak- irg it one of the liveliest scenes that the lookout man at Point Lobos has had tore- port in many a day. The captain of the Muriel reports that 100 miles west of San Francisco he was in company with & six topgallant-yard | ship jor four days, The supposition is | | that the square rigger is the British ship Fingal, over which considerable anxiety | has been felt on account of her long trip from Calcutta. Toward dusk a square | rigger was reported from Point Lobos and | the chances are that it was the vessel | | spoken by the captain of the Muriel. The | Australian made a pretty piciure as she | passed theFarralons yesterday. One of | the pilot-boats was heading for her, and | | as the two vessels approsched each other the spectacie was an inspiring one. The bix ship was rapidiy taking in canvas while the pilot-boat was packing on all sail in order to get a pilot on board. The British ship captains, whose vessels areanchored off Martinez awaiting orders have decided to et up a regatta in hoaor | of the Queen’s jubiiee. The officers are: { Captain Powles of the ship James Kerr, | president; Captain Lioyd of the ship Bal- sorre, treasurer; Captain Webster of the { ship Centesimas, reteree; Captain Sten- | house of the ship Talus, starter; Captain Lines of the ehip Grassendale, umpire. | | The committee having the affair in ciarge is composed of Captain Ramsey of the | | ship St. Mirren, Captain Jones of the ship | Flintshire, Captain_Engiish of the ship | Glencaird, Captain Boyce of the ship Sa- | moena, Captain Bsilinger of the ship | Bothwell, Captain Templeton of the snip Clan Macfariand and Captain Chisholm | of the ship Blackbraes. Tke programme | will be as follows: Four-cared gig race, sailing race for boats more than twent | feet over al!, dingey race, two oars; five- | | oared gig race, scow race to be rowed with four shovels, duck hunt and climbing the | | greasy pole. The Grassendale will be the | | flagship, and Captain Lines will be glad | | to see all his friends and subscribers to the celebration aboard his vessel. | The freight steamer Garden City was in | trouble last Wednesday. After leaving Lombard-street whar! there was no diffi- | culty until the cresk was reached. Then | aschooner meking her way down was suddenly encountered. The vessel was on the port tack and the sieamer had to be brought to full stop and back in order to get out of her way. In doing so the | steamer backed into the breakwater and | sprung her rudder. The remainder of | the voyage was made without incident, and when the Garden City reached this side the damaged steering gear was re- | moved and the vessel ran all of yesterday | s a single-ender. The coast defense sieamers Monterey | and Monadnock sailed for Portland yes- terduy. As the battle-ship Oregon can- not cross the Columbia River bar the Monterey will act in her place, and the bandsome siiver dinner set made for the Oregon will be accepted on behalf of the | battle-ship by the officers of the Monte- rey. At thesame time the coast defense | boat will be presented with a handsome | silver flag in honor of the event. The Japanese warship now in_port will ese merchants of this City have chartered the launch Amy, and she will make hourly trips from the Folsom-street steps during theday. On Saturday tue officers and many of the men will go out to the Cuff House and incidentally will visit the Sutro Baths ana Sutro Heights. The Harbor Commissioners had quite a lengthy session yesterday. On the report of Chief Engineer Holmes it was decided to repair all the ferry slips. The Paraffine | Paint Company being the lowest bidders | they were awarded the contract for the | | repiling necessary to put the ships in thor- | ough repair. | _ The resoiutions passed by the farmers |in regard to the free market on Pacific | street were rcaq, but no action was taken in regard to the matter. | _Adeiegation from the Metal-workers’ Union asked the members of the board to | appoint one of their body to supervise the Iaying of the roofing on the new ferry depol. The Commissioners decided that as they had a superintendent of con- struction and a chief engineer who were | to look after such matters, s delegate from the Metal-workers’ Union would be superfluous. A communication was read from the | Onristian Endeavorers. They asked that | aspace be set apart for them on the water iront for the burpore of meetings during the convention. The secretary was ordered to say that the board wouid meet their committee on Taesday and consuit as to what could be done. Some time ago the board made arrange- ments with the Custom-house officials by which rent for all the offices used by Custom-house inspectors should be psid for at regular_rates, commencing from last January. Yester Collector Jack- son appeared and explained that no fund had been prepared for the payment of this sum, $150 2 month, snd asked that the matter go over until July 1, by which time he will have all the arrangements made. The request was granted. Captain J. English of the British ship Glencaird bas been taken back to St. Luke's Hospital. When he arrived from Calcutta he was suffering from malarial fever, and had to be removed to the hospital. He returned to the ship ten aays ago, but the fever began again on | Wednesday, and_be had to be brought down from Martinez and again taken to St. Luke’s. Sportsmen Will Picuic.

Last Wednesday Evening. The RESEDER' LIFE Fighting for the Possession of Laura Lee, the Chattel. Miss Lake Says Her Life and Others’ Have Been Threat- ened, She Has Asked the Police Author- ities to Give Her Their Pro- tection. The story of Laura Lee, the half-caste girl whose sale into a life of slavery has been twice attempred, revealsa storyof | want and penury that Hugo's “Les Miser- ables” cou'd scarcely parallel. Laura Lee was rescued by Miss Lake of the Metbodist Chinese Mission on Wash- ington street, and when seen yesterday afternoon she expressed a determination to save poor Laura Lee if it wasin h"l power. This has brought danger to her, | for the slave-dealersare talking of viclence. I have had my life and the lives of my | interpreters threatened to-day,” she said. | “The girl’s parents have announced their intention of getting even with those who | have interfered with their plans to dispose of their daughter."” Yesterday Frank Holbrook, secretary of the Eureka Society for the Protection of Children,summoned the unnatural mother | 10 appear &t his office, and though loth to come she consented to obey the sum- mons. | Miss Lake, Mrs. Hull, matron of the| Methodist home, and Laura Lee were | present. The mother was forced to admit that the proposed sale of her daughter was to the | secretary of the Sam Yup Society, but she would not give his name. She admitted | that money had been given her by the | proposed purchaser, but said it was a | present. | Mrs. Yee Yot is a stout woman, tall and } good looking but for a facial deformity. | Sbe appears to be about 40 vears of age, and admits when a girl to havinz married | her Chinese husband. Asa resu!t fouror five children were born, one of whom died | at an early age in Chicago. The elaest is Laura Lee. At the interview in Becretary Hol- brook’s office yesterday Laura was asked whether she desired to return to her parents. Her answer was a tearful and | No,” and she was turned over | e of the Methodist Mission. | Miss Lake has applied for letiers of | guardianship and has announced her de- | termination to look after the girl until she | can act for herself. | Yesterday mornipg the father and | mother of the girl called at the mission | snd demanded possession of their daughter. On their demand being re- fused, an officer was summoned from the California-street station to quell their | noisy and boisterous behavior. Miss Lake when seen last night said: “This poor girl is indeed in & most putiful condition. Prior to to-day I have bad no legal right to protect her, butI| hope that the legal proceedings 1 have | instituted will give me the right to as- | sume a guardianship over her. | “The girl is a good girl—of thatIam convinced, and would never consenttoa life of shame. She grieves now over her | brothers and sister, and, while she is | affectionate and lovable, will not consent to be gold into infamy.”" Laura Lee then came in and corobo- rated all that Miss Lake had said. Tt is money they want,” she said. “Oh! they are 30 poor, but I cannot con- sent to be sold.” Miss Lake announced her determina- tion not to give Laura Lee up under any circumstances.

Only the Chief of Police, and No Plain Sergeant, May Dispense Half- Fares Now, The Police Department is quite torn up witis wonder and gossip about a mysteri- ous order, change, rumor or something or other which is supposed to biast the half- fare railroad ticket that blesses the police- man’s Aacation. Heretofore it has been the custom for ofticers wanting half-fare tickets for them- | selves or members of their families to get | a letter of identification and request from | any sergeant or higher officer on the | force, which reqresis were nearly always informally honored. Thae blow, which may not be a biow, came the other day when Captain Witt- wan announced to the assembled squad at the Central station that the half-fare privilege had been withdrawn because it bad been abused by a certain member of the force. It was understood that the news had come from headquarters. Ever since thea the men bave beon asking and | gossiping about it, keeping various stories going, and wondering if it were really so that the railroad company bad shut down | on vpolice favors. | Men sull planning vacation trips were | indignant and sore that they should suffer | for one man’s sin, and the department | generally feels sggrieved atthe coming of the small shadow. Efforts to explore the story below the surface have met walls of ignorance and vague statement, from behind which it has appearea that there has been a little trouble of the sort aescribed over Lalf- fare tickets, and that the railroad com- pany has done something or other about it. What it was Vice-President Stubbs, | General Superintendent Fillmore ana General Passenger Agent haven’t the faintest idea—the story is bosh. In Captain Healey’s office it was de- clared that no cfficial order of any sort | had been issued. Then Chief of Police | Lees gave the explanation of the whole thing, that the railrosa company had simply decided that it would prefer to | bave all requests for half-fare favors come from the head of the department instead of from the head of any squad. According to the Cnief there has been no further curtailment of the usual cour- tesies, but hereafter no plawmn, ordinary sergeant can work the railroad company for balf-fare tickets. The force may now know that the courtesy business is simply tightened up @ little and stop its gossip- ing. 1t is reported ihat the company has| tightened up in the same mauner on the | Fire Department, so that now it will re- quire Chief Sullivan’s signature to cheapen | vacation trips for the fire laddies.

Kate Perry Byrne Has Some Alleged Big Debts Outstanding, Differences of Opinion Regarding the Value of the Blythe Estate Lands. Mre. Florence Biythe - Hinckley no sooner gets out of one branch of litization than she is compelled to take up another. On Wednesday night at 10 o'clock the suit of Attorney Thomas I. Bergin against Mrs. Hinckley for §50,C00 was closed by the disagreement of the jury in Judee Hunt's court. Yesterday mording at 10 o’clock Mrs. Hinckley was in Judge Seawell’s court ready to face an array of litigants and their attorneys that would daunt a person of less experiencs in law proceedings. The action in Judge Seaweil's court is brought by Henry Langagainst Mrs. Kate Perry Byrne, Mrs. Hinckley and a dozen other defendants to collect the amounts due from Mrs. Byrne to her many credit- ors. In this matter it may be said that Mrs. Hinckley bas not the same personal in- terest that she held in the other litigation wherein she was named as a defendant. Afier the filing of Mr. Lang’s comnplaint Mrs. Byrne interposed a cruss-complaint against Mrs. Hinckley to secure an in- terpretation of tbe contract which she | holds for one-tenth of the Blythe estate recovered by Mrs. Hinckley. Mrs, Byrne contends that the ome- tenth ought to be distributed to her in real estate, and puts the total value of the property at $5,000,000. To this M Hinckley objecis, soleiy on the point o the way in which the distribution should be made. She admits that she agreed to give one-tenth of what she recovered to | Mrs. Byrne, who is her step-grand- motber, or the *second wife of her grand- father,” as describea by the young heiress on the witness-stand, and she says that | she is willing to_carry out that contract, but thinks Mrs. Byrne ought to take her pay in monev, basing the “estimate on a valuation o: $2,700,000 or thereabouts. In this connection an interesting point 1s raised by the expression of opinion expressed by Attorney Russell Wilson, who is reported to have said thai Mrs. Byrne is entitled to take her 10 per cent of the Blythe estate in rezl property ana that those nolding assignmenis from the | lady must await her convenience in the matter of settlement of their claims after the bas come into the possession of the and. Those who hold assignments from Mrs. Byrne are as follows: Henry I Kowalsky, $60.000 81.500; Henry Mohr, $33,8 Fusenot, 6: L_P. Drexler, $15 Mrs. Ida J. 000; Lillian Kowalsky, §$3500; e $4000; ex-Senaior Frank Mc- Gowan, $10,000; Mrs. F. J. Clarke (wife of At- torney’Alired Ciarke), $5000; W. B. Waldron, £3880; Kinsella & Jo.nsou of San Jose, $17005 M. Cocaran of Ssan Rafael, $3200. In regard to all these cluimants against Mrs. Byrne's share of the property Mrs. Hinckley holds a neuiral position, except that she does not wish them to got more than she owes her siep-grandmother, to whom she says she has already paid the sum of §47,500. Another source of outlay to Mrs. Hinckley at this tima is said to be the sum of $500 a montn, which goes to the heirs of the late Hall McAilister in settlement of the claims for his legal ser- vices in the Blythe estate litigation. Among the lawyers engaged in the pres- ent suit before Judge Seawell may be mentioned the following: Wilson & Wil- son, W. H, H. Hart, Aylette Cotton, H. I. Kowalsky, Rodgers, Paterson, Hepburn Wilkins, 1. M. Hoefler, W. A. Kirkwood. F. McGowan, George Squires, Freeman & Bates, W. H. Levy, A. Cochran and Alfred Clark: 3 Additional counsel will be engaged soon as the litigants have time to make the necessary arrangements. After considerable preliminary matter had been disposed of it appeared i0 the court that the parties wera not exactly ready to proceed, and Judge Seaweil granted a continuance until next Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. There was some intimation of a compromise, but whether this included the main parties to the suit or only those having contingent interests was not made clear. A DEAL IN WHEAT S C. Murphy, The Bank of Woodiand Wins Its Suit | Against B F. Dunecan. The Supreme Court in the action of the Bank of Woodland against B. F. Duncan, to replevin 450 sacks of wheat, has re- versed the juazmentof the lower court. In the season of 1892:83 the bank held two mortgages on a part of J. R, and B. F. Davissen'’s crop of growing wheat to se- cure two promissory notes of $4500 and §2958 78, the mortgagors to care for, pro- tect, harvest, sack and deliver the same to the mm;l:lgee or his assigns. The bank obtained the notes and mortgages by assignment from Wolf Levy. When harvest time came the Davissans had B, F. Duncan, the owner of a header and thrasher, harvest the entire crop, for which service they hecame indebted to him in the sum of $590. i but Levy refused to honor it, whereupon Davisson told Duncan to take sufficient wheat to secure his account, which he did arainst the protests of the bank’s agents. The bank sued to recover the wheat taken and ost the suit. The Supreme Court re- versed the judement, holding that the bank’s claims shonld be first satisfiad. THE EMPORION CHANGES HANDS Andrew M. Davis of the Golden Rule Bazaar Holds the Lease. He Will Organize a Company and Operate the Concern on Business Principles. Has Taken Only a Oonditional Lease Until August 1 Pending the Arrangement of Details, The Emporium Company,which opened San Francisco's gieatest department store alittle more than a year ago, yesterday turned over its twenty vears’ lease of the Parrott building to Mrs. Parrett and went out of existence. At the same hour Andrew M. Davis, sec- retary of the Golden Rule Bazaar, took a temporary and conditional lease running from to-day until the Ist of August. Mr. Davis holds the lease in his own name with the purpose, however, of forming a company, if all the conditions prove right, before the 1st of August. With the lease Mr. Davis purchased the name of the Emporium, and the business will go right along as though pothing had happened. If his plans carry, however, the place will go on. after the first of Au- gust as though something indeed had happened, for the quickening inflnences that have distinguished the Golden Rule Bazaar will begin their work in the big department store. The corporation being formed the Em- porium will hereafter be known as the Emporium and Golden Rule Bazaar, and will be conducted on an entirely different basis from that upon which it has been operated since it opened on the 16th of May last year. Thecompany will directly control and operate the greater partof the store, only a few separate concerns being allowed under the roof with sub-leases. If the conditions are all met and arrunged satisfactorily the company will take the twenty years’ lease, and the Golden Rule Bazaar as such will be merged into the Emporium and Golden Rule Bazaar. The mew concern will be all under one head. Mr. Davis has been conducting the nego- tiations with Mrs. Parrott for some montbs with the knowledge that the Em- porium Company stood ready to give up 1ts lease when it could do so without too great loss. The short lease Mr. Davis has taken is a conditional one subject to de- tails pending between the partiesin in- terest. The Emporium Company, which goes out of existence, or at least ceases busi- ness at the big store, is said by its officers to have failed for lack of capital av the beginning and because it undertook too much. The company leased the entire building instead of confining itself to merchandising alone. The tenants did not_fill up the office departments as rapidly as expected and there was con- siderable loss from that fact. The lack of capital to tide the concern over this josing period brought it early into difficnlities, which bave multiphed with time. The | officers of the company insist that while { the company itself may have lost money | the lessees were successful. Mr. Davis has | leased only that part of the building com- | prised in the s orerooms. COAST DIVISION CARS. Another Through “rain From This | City to Montsrey Will Be Put On.
