The Corona arrived from southern | ports yesterday morning with one of the largest passenger lists that has come into port for many a day. Cabin passengers | were sleeping on the tables, under the tables, and some of then. were glad of the chance for making themselves comfort- able under a sail on deck. Every ounce of freight that she could carry was on board, and the only thing that is troubling Goodall, Perkins & Co. is to find space along the water front on whnich to dis- charge it. Half a dozen vessels, wheat laden, are expected here in the next few days, and unless something is done 1n the shape of providing tacilities for them to discharge there will be a general tie-up before the week is out. There is a prospect of a rate war among the fishermen whocontrol the whole trade of San Francisco. Hitherto A. Paladini, Peter Costa, Dominic Fabris and E. An- toni have been a close corporation. They were the owners of the steamers U. 8. Grant and Farragut and controlled aimost every fishing-boat in the bay. Latierly Paladini came to ihe conclusion that he was getting the worst of the bargain and decided to call upon Costa for an account- ing. The necessary papers were prepared, but before they were filed the four part- ners came to an amicable understanding. Paladini 1s now the sole owner of the U. S. Grant and nalf of the other boats con- trolled by the syndicate, while the others hav- the Farragut and the remainder of the boa's, which they will operate on their own account. Paladini is in tne fizht to wing and as he controls the bulk of the retail trade thera is likely to be some lively fighting before an understanding is reached or unother combination formed. Fish will be cheap next Friday.

Phelan’s Fountain To Be Accepted With Simple Honors. Great Expectations Regarding Santa Bosa’s Welcome to the Natives. 1 Discussing Details and Completing | Plans at the Looal Committes Meeting. The preparations for the celebration of Admission day by the Native Sons of the | Golden West are being pushed rapidly | forward. The chief celebration will be in Santa Rosa, ard a joint committee of va- rious parlors are working hard to make the celebration a success. Special ar- rangement{s have been made with the | North Pacific Coast Kailroad to sall three- day excursion tickets at areduced rate, These tickets will be good on all regular trains from the 8th to the 1ith, and as many specials as necessary will be run. The hotel proprietors at Santa Rosa have | agreed not to raise their rates, as has been | done at other places on the occasion of | such celebrations. ~ Many of the local parlors have already | selected headquarters at Santa Rosa and | decided on what uniform they will wear | in the parade. Others have committees arranging these points. Pacific Parior | has joined forces with Oro Fino Parlor and | joint beadquarters will be established at house on the aiternoon of the9th from 2 ACH KNEW IT WAS LOADED Cost Him a Hat and a Pompadour Cut. While Practicing With Ross Whitaker His Revolver Went Off. His Only Consolation Now Is That the Accident Confirmed His Private Theory. A “ragged bullet hole,’”” one similar to that which disfigures the wall in the rear of the late Isaac Hoffman’s store, has ruined the contour of tne ceiling in Attorney Henry Ach’s office, California and Battery streets. The attorney is now able, without the assistance of expert testimony, to tell the ecxact amount of heat, smoke and noise a revolver will make, and ‘‘the exact distance a pistol can be held, black powder behind the bullet, to make a powder tattoo irrespective of smoke marks.”” Mr. Ach, however, is unwilling to.gain further learning if in its search he is forced to face the same risk he safely | passed yesterday in gaining the knowledge he now poszesses. Attorney Ach, as well as the Police De- partment, was undecided as to just how the bullet-hole in Isaac Hoffman’s hat was made, or rather the distance the pistol which® sent the leaden missile through it was held when fired. Yester- day afternoon Detective Ross Whitaker dccompanied the attorney, who is now assisting in the prosecution of Theodore w0 60'clock. A grand ball will be held in Figel for the murder of Hoffman, to his The Brit'sh Ship Toxteth From Panama Was Towed Into Quarantine by the Tug Rescue Yesterday. Quarantine Officer Chalmers Passed Her, but Dr. Rosenau, the Federal Officer, Held That Panama Was an Infected Port and Ordered the Vessel to Angel Island. | State amined the vessel and found that there had been two cases of illness during the vovage up the coast. One of the cases was the result of too much whisky and the other was a slight a:tack of malarial fever. He according!y passed the vessel. Dr. Rosenan, acting for the Federal authorities, came aiong hext and insisted that Panama was an infected pori. Con- | sequently the Toxteth’s captain had to | trip e anchor and have the ship towed to Angel Isiand. The Federal authorities contend that yellow fever is raginz all along the coast from Panama to Mexico and say that every vessel coming from any of those points will be quarantined on arrival. The rush of freight on the water front = beginning to make itself felt. Yester- day morning a section ot Broadway No. 2 went boaiiy into the bay, taking with it | sixty tons of salt, ten tons of sugar and twenty burrels of beef, which were to have been vlaced on board the City of Pucbla in transit for the Klondike. About fifteen tons of anchor chain also went by the board, but it and the beef will be re- covered. The sailing of the Puebla completely stopped traffic on East street. Wagons could not get within a block of the wharf, and all morning a full squad of police were on the alert making way for foot passengers. In four deysthe crew of the Puebla, assistea by the longshoremen, have shipped and transhipped 6000 tons of freignt. During that time she has made a trip to Port Harford and brought back 40,000 sacks of grain, which was discharged- upon the seawall Friday night, and to day she took in nearly 2000 tons of freight, more than one-half of which is intended for transhipment to Dyea. The bulk of the credit for the rapid hendling of this encrmous amount of freight is due to Captain Debney and Chiet Officer Walter Willett. Among tne passengers who went away on the Puchla was 1. P. H. Whitelaw, the well-known wrecker. For some time he mains of the Southern Pacific steamer San Pedro from Brotchie ledge, at the enirance to Victoria, B. The work has been ac- complished to the iuil satisiaction of the Canadian Government, and now Mr. W-hitelaw is on his way to Victoria to erect 8 beacon on thedangerous spot. While he | isup there the wrecker W hitelaw will be sent to Vancouver to bring irom that point to Point Orchard 300 tons of bridge material (0 ve used at that point in con- nection with the United States dock. _The bark Alien Besse met with an ac- cident while being docked at Pacific-street wharf yesterday. She was being towed in and the tug having too much head way ran her acainst the wall. The bark lost her bowsprit and her running gear was con- siderably damaged. Tne‘Cny of Stockton while docking at ‘Washington-street whurfalso madeher slip with too much headway on. In conse- quence she ran into the Gold slip, did con- siderable damage to the wharf and wrecked her own upper works. George Jackson, 4 negro, was booked at the Harbor Police siation yesterday and charged with robbery. He and two others stood up William Hyland of 800 Iowa street and relieved him of $12. Yesterday Hyland saw the trio on East street and nformed Officer Cayot. They foliowed the trio into a saloon, and as soon as they saw the officer accompanied by Hyland they made a break for liberiy. The other two men made their escape, but as the en- tire Harbor Police furce are on the look- has bren engaged in removing the re- | Consul-General to Shanghai. Mr. Good- now gained some notoriety in Minneapolis over a Miss Delle Gordon. On account of her his wife secured a divorce. It was telegraphed out here that Miss Gordon was to join Consul-General Goodnow in San Francisco and thatthey were to be married here. This the Consul-General emphaticaily denied yesterday. He seid that he was not married to Miss Gordon and that she was not going on the Belgic to Shanghai witl. him. He was very bit- ter over the fact that his political enemies haa brought the matter before the public again, as he considered that when it was fuirly and squarely fought out in Wash- ington before the Senate commitiee that had his appointment under consideration it should have been allowed to drop there and not be brought forward again at this | late day. WELBURN IS INDIGTED. Forty-Three Charges of Em- bezzlement Preferred Against Him, Oharged With Having Appropriated One-Third of a Storekeeper's Earnings. The United States Grand Jury yester- day morning presented an indictment against Osca M. Welburn, charging him with embezzlement on forty-three distinct counts. The witnesses on whose evidence tne indictment was found were C. E. Whitehurst, Louis Loupe, E. Youngberg and W. H. Dillard. The indictment charges the embezsgle- ment of $74820 of the salary of E. C. Atken, $643 27 of that of Thomas Sinnot | and $720 at 1iiferent times from the bal- ance deposiied in the sub-treasury to the ing officer. £ The Collector is charged with having appropriated one-third of Sinnot’s pay for nisown use. The total of the embezzle- ment 1s $1501 47. Jud e e Haven fixed the amount of bail at $20,000, that being the amouni of the bonds aireacy furnished by Daniel Burns anda Thomas H.

Noonan, 1017-1073 Mission. offices, with the object in view of con ducting some experiments in the line of pistol usage. Detective and lawyer argued and posed, revolvers in hand, for some time, in an endeavor to arrive at a definite conclusion as to just how the bullet-hole in the dead merchant’s hat was made. Attorney Ach warmed as the argument and experiments went on, and finally, in the midst of a heated discussion, pressed his finge-a 1%/~ tle too hard on the trigger of the weap .. he beld in his hand and it exploded with a roar. The flash of the revolver took the same course the one which perforated Isaac Hoffman’s hat did and Ach suffered the loss of his hair on the right sige of his head and turned startled eyes on tue ruined hat. The pistol, when in exploded, was some inches from the experimenter’s | head and instead of a “‘tattoo’’ left an un- | sightly “smoke trail.” The theory of the prosecution was established, and although the attorney had | almost lost his life, he was contented to know that he was right in his Dbelief. Detective Whitaker was also of the opin- ion that the experiment was a success, no matter which theory it corroborated, and he departed for the police headquarters to so report. Prosecution and defense are alike satis- fied with the trial and tests, and in conse- quence it is hardly likely that the matter will again be one of controversy, at least if it be decided that experiments to deter- mine it must be made with loaded revoly- ers. - There are 20,400 postoffices in the United Kingdom and 28,000 letter-boxes.

COOK Gives a Very Interesting Talk To WBEN ANY MAN FIRST NOTICES ANY symptoms of sexual weakness or im perfection he should take the bull by the norns and get medi- cal advice at once, for the longer he aliows this weakness to remain so much the more aifficult isitto cure it. Nerve waste is another very com- mon comp.alat. It is most weakening, and, unless checked, it not only destroys the sexual strengih, but the nervous system also, causing a thousand and one troubles in various parts of the body.

Ever since the world began weakness has existed, but to-dsy there are more weak, incompetent men than ever. This fact Las set medical men studying.

He may overwork them and escipe tne vigilant eye of the labor unions. He may underpay them ana yet have no strikes to meet, if the condition of the workmen is very impoverished.

Kelso's rates were $4 a week. | Tai- left the workmen $5 clear, or in case | of four-horse teamsiers, who received | $1 75 per day, $6 50. 3 Several married men were in Kelso's employ, and these bad to pay $4 a week to him for board, leaving $5 for their fami~ lies, some ofiwhnich were large.

The mai- ter was explained to Kelso by the | Bridge Company, and the men were with- | drawn. Later in the day some under- | standing must have been arrived at, for the men were permitted to return to work.
