The Former Lost Her Headgear. The Damage to the Bark Is Not Known. Vessels From Foreign Ports Must in Future Have Their Chronometers Passed by the Custom-House. A peculiar accident happened to the ship Dashing Wave and the bark Topgal- lart oft the Straits of Juan de Fuca last week, Both vessels were lumber laden and bound for San Francisco. The tug Tyee took them in tow at Tacoma and when outside the straits blew her whistle notifying the master of the Topgallant to let gp his bawser and make sail. The cap- tain of the Dashing Wave misunderstood the signal and cast off the hawser whbich connecfed his vessel with the tug. The result was that the Dashing Wave drifted down on the Topgaliant, did considerable damage to that vessel, carried away part of her own jibboom and nearly all of ber own headgear. The collision took place about midnight and the exact damage done to the Topraliant could not be as ined. In connection with this collision the men on ’Change yesteraay were coupiing the news broughtby the Norwegian tramp steamer Transit, The captain of the steamer reports that on the 9.h instant, between the Columbia River and Cape Blanco, his vessel passed through pine lumber which covered an extent of ten miles. The Jumber was not in a ten-mile mass, but was scattered in_small quanti- ties over that distance. The Topgaliant was loaded with pine lumber and seafs ing nien think that as a re of ner col- lision with tne Dashing Wave the captain may have been compelled to jettison the norithwester that blew last week “The only other vessel that is out as the Topgailznt is the ooner Oceana Vance, also from Tacoma with pine | ber. There are others agiin who think that the lumber seen by the crew of the Transit came from the schooner Marion, h inst. with- nd with oniy 20,000 feet her hold. On’ January 12 Marion brought 35),000 f:et of Grays Harvbor, and then she On her arrival bere the lumber from was not fully loaded. the captain did not report the loss of his last deckload, and as she went up the river airect thers was no need of finding out whether or not it was part of her cargo sighted by the Transit. Chronometer-makers are indignant over anew rule issued by Collector of the Port Jackson. Hitherto chronometers been taken off foreign s and returned again witbout protest. This has been of great convenier the masters and also to the wat ashore who reguated the instruments. Directly a ship or a steamer docked the agentofthe chronome:er maker was there | 1o receive the is rament and at once went have to say him nay. This rule of procedure has been done awsy with and in the fu- ture all these instrments will be searched the same as otner baggage and merchan dise that comes irom foreign ports. Waile the customs authorities do not for an i smuggling by means of the small spaces to Le found in the chronometer boxes still they think iv better to be sure than sorry. Considerable quantities of gems, stliks, yards of which can be passed through a wedding ring, and quantities of the verv finest jewelery can be safely packed away in a chronometer box and safely brought ashore more especially as the custom-house inspectors never thougnt of opening the box to see whether it contained a clock or dynamite. Now, however, the chronometers wiil have to go through the usual process of inspection and the chronometer maker will have to get a permit before he can take it ashore. Wednesday next the gunboats Wheel ingand Maretta will come down from Mare Island and anchor in the in the batance of theirs piies, the Wheeling will start for Alaskan waters and the Marietta will o io the China station. The latter vessel wili be used prin v on the rivers ol China, while the Wheeling wiil do pairol daty in the Bering Sea. | The United States steamer Marion is| taking her time over the ran from Hono- | iula to this port. Sue sailed on Augu-t | 25, and bas not been heard from since, The chances are, however, that the greater past of the voyage is being made under sail, ana that she will arrive here in a few davs. i The yacht Lurline, with J. D. Spreckels and a pariy of friends on board, went out ou a cruise yesterday. A good sailing breeze was blowing, and the beautiful craft made one of the prettiest sights that Dad been seen on the bay for many a day. D. Zawbukas, who keeps a fruit and cigar siand at 19114 East street, has not a very high opinion of the harbor police. His store 1s close to tworestaurants which keep open all night, and the dcorto his place is right on the Jevel with the street. The street lamps were burning and a tull moon was shining nearly sli night, yetrhe burgiars were able to break open the door with a jimmy and getaway with $45 worth of cigars and tobacco anc a smali amount in cash. They also filled their pockers with the choicest fruit in the store and carried away a_ small bunch of bananas | 1 for future use. The burglars must have | taken their own time over the looting of the store, bec when they had secared all the whoie packages they coula carry they went round the cigar and tobacco boxes and filled their pockets with the choicest brands. Zambukas now has two | patent locks and a burglar alarm on the door of his atore. Captamn Davis of the American ship Sterling is not a friend of the Norih Alas- kan mosquito. Any person according to him going out without a proper head cov- ering is liable to be kilied. He says with- out asmile thatthe mosquitoes that in- fect the swamps back of Bri.toi B: as large as small humming birds. these insecis invaded the cabin of the Sterling and Captain Davis caught them. He mounted them on cardboard and they now adorn his coll:ction of Alaskan curios. The Sterling will dockin « couple of days and any skeptic may have all his doubts removed by paying a visit to Cap- tain Davis on board the Sterling and look- ing over his collecrions of carios.

Two Old-Time Marksmen, Captains of the Creedmoor and Veteran Teams Which Coates'ed for Honors at Shell Mound. HARKSMEN FOR TWENTY YEARS A Memorable Anniversary for the Old Creedmoor Team. Once More the Champions Show Their Ability at Shell Mound. Interesting Day for Hundreds of Rifle- men Over the Bay—Some Good Scores. Twenty years ago a little team of Cali- fornia marksmen, the pick of riflemen of the Goiden West, assembled at the well- known range at Creedmoor, Long Isiand, and competed for the honors of their State against the finest shots of New York, New Jjersey and Connecticut. Their efforts on the 200 and the 500-yard ranges were crowned with success and the Creed- moor team of California returned to this State bearing the trophy of the contest, a beautiful piece of statuary known as “The Soldier of Marathoun.” It was a great victory, for the California team defeated the Eastern military shots by many points, California stood 995, Connecticut 971, New York 957 ana New Jersey 7dd. These were all good scores, for it must be remembered that in those days the mili- tary rifles were not as perfect as they are now, but the men who shot them were the best in the land and there were no cigarette smokers in any of those teams. Lt was probabiy one of the greatest in- terstate military matches ever shot in the United States, and the California team was justy proud of its achievement. In commemoration of the victory the Creed- moor t am has been accustomed to hold yearly banquets on the m-morable date, September 12. Those gatherings have always been well team bas clunz well togsther. The first 10 drov out of the team, forever, was Cap- tain William H. Brockhoff. The next was General John McComb, who ook the tesm KEas: as ity captain. All of the others are alive, alillough time has streakea their hair with gray and placed wrinkles upon their jeatures. The last gathering, the twentieth anni- versary, was held yesterdav at the Shell Mound range. The old rfl men wanted to see to what extent their fingers had lost | their touch and their eyes tueir clearness, 50 & match was arranged with some of the best shots of other days, a team trom the Veterans Association of the National Guard of California. The match was for a dinaer, ten shots at 200 yards, military muskets and tar- gets, the iosing team 1o pay for the repast. Lesides General McComb and Captain Brockhoff there wére two others of the Cr edmoor team missing—J. H. Mater and Sergeant John P. Warren, who are in | the southern part of the State. For an hour or two the old riflemen banged away at the targeis, and the result was one more victory for the Creedmoor team, whose score was 482 to the Veterans' 475, Colonel J. H. Burns was the captain of the victors and Captain J. E. Klein looked after the interests of the Veterans. The scores of the two teams were as follows: CREEDMOOR TEAM. Colonel J. H. Burns 39, Harry Hook 39, E. ptain J. H. Robinson 38, Snook 40, William Wright 37, Maber 39. Coptain C. P. La mau 41, Lieutenant L. Lieutenant G. H.

H. Cobbledi aptain George Filmer oodell 44, Sergeaut J. geaut C 41—totul 475, After the contest was over the riflemen repaired to the restaurant, where they found a fine spread prepared by Captain Joun L. Siebe. Around the table the rifle contests of the past were gone over again in the shape of stor.es, now ancient nistory in the range annals of Calitornia. The repast lasted uni a lute hour and none felt that it was other tuan the greatest of pleasures to be thus reunited with his oid companions of the rifle range. There was plenty of other shooting cr- ganizations on tie range besides the two vider ones, and every stand was filied all day. Gooa work was done by the mem- bers of the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club, who held their monthly contesis tor ciub medals and tue prizes in the re-entry mutches. F.O. Young was high man in the pistol class contests with a score of forty on the Columbia target, on which all the club’s contests are held. On the three-shot Bushnell medal, re- entry, A . Pape cut another notch in his k with a score of 4, 1, 1—6, bring- ing his total for his best ten scores down to 77. or 13 poiuts better than made in the whote of last year's shoot by A. Strecker, who carried oft the three-shot Uunfrea medal. This beats the best score of Mich- ael Dorrler of New York, as hissix was 1,4,1. E.Jacobsen, F. H. Bushnell, Ei Hovey and J. E.

ALMSHOUSE IMPROVEMENTS, A New Stairwayv and a ishing Gard There have been some recent improve- ments out at the Almshouse, over which Superintendent Reddy is quite pleased. A new stairway has been constructed at the main enirance and the floor, which had been in u<e for thirty vears, has been renewed. The laundry, recently con- structed and furnisbed with improved machinery, is giving much satisfaction and now the old people out there can sleep on smoothly ironed sneets and pil- low-slips, a novel luxury to them, as be- fore the setting up of the big ironing ma- chine the sheets, thougn cleanly washed, were placed on the beds somewhat rough and wrinkled. Abcut three acres of land has been re- cleimed from the former waste hillside back of the buildings and a fine garden is fourishing there. The Almshouss tract now furnishes all the vegetables it uses ~ew and Flour- supply lasts more t:an four months. There is a large amount of garden-truck out there now growiug luxuriously. The flowers give every evidence of tue care anc skill of those inmates to whom that division of the work fali NONEY FOR THE SHORT ENDERS Disappointing Favorites at Ingleside Coursing _Park, A Day of Heavy Betting and Many Upsets for the Form Players. The Puppy Cavalier Shows More Speed Than Many of the 01d Time Dogs. Yesterday’s coursing at Ingleside was far above tue average. A large and en- thusiastic crowd was in attendance and a pile of money changed hands during the day. It was strictly a *‘short ender’’ per- formance and the players of old time form received some hard knocks. Cava- lier, a puppy which lost to Johnnie R in the last events,|ran rem&rkably well yester- day, beatinz such old dugs as Black Prince and Best Trump. It goes to show the im- provement made during the last two years in training dogs, as well as the supe- rior strain of stock brought into Cali- fornia. Tbe most interesting and swiftest course of the day was between the two fliers, Emerald*and Doncaster. A good hare was started, which took the hounds a merrv chase across the field near the escape, but the chase was so close that the hare in making a turn was picked up by Emer- | ald. Tne betting which had been heavy was even, as there was thought to be no choice between the dogs. This is how it happened: In the Consclation stake Larkey & Rock’s Emeraid beat J. Reidy’s Galtee More, Kay & Trant's Trilby beat Grace & Dean’s Deceiver beat Curtis & Son’s Commodore, G. Wattson’s Doncaster beat J. Halton's Moonshine, Monte keunel’s Mission Tip beat J.

Third ties—Magician beat Sky Rocket, Cava- | lier beat Black Prince, Oriental a bye. Fourth ties—Orjental beat Magician, Cava- lier a bye. Final—Cavalier beat Oriental and won the ! money. WEBB WON THE MEDAL, Declared the Champicn of the Olympic | Gun Club—The Last ! Shoot. The Olympic Gun Club held its final shoot of the season at the Ingleside shoot- ing-park yesterday afternoon. Although the wind was bad, some good scores were made. The championship event, with twenty-five birds (bluerocks), was won by A. Webb with ascore o 23. C. Norman took the medal for the first class event, and F. J. Schul z followed suit in the sec- ound class. A prize shoot with $10 added followed. 0. Feudner won first money with 24 out of the 25 bird=. The second money went to Fishback, Golcher and Vernon, each gettine 23 biras. The fourth money was divided between Haight, Klevesahl, Mc- i Mann and Ow e CHINAMAN ST00OD TUP. ¥Four Knights of the Road Frustrated by the Police. Gee Quong, a cook, who works on Rincon Hill, was waylaid by four men on Satur- day nighi about 10:30 on New Mont- comery street and Mission. Quong had an impression that the men were fooling bim and hesitated in obeying their command to hold up his hands, but a whack over the head brought him to a realization of his mistake. He yeiled Instily and brougnt to his aid two police officars, whose approach had the effect of causing the would-be robbers to decamp. A carefai search of the loca ity failed to find any trace of the bnld bad men. ————— Brief Definition of Socialism. “Facts and Fallacies of Our Owa Time” was the subject of a lecture to the American branch of the Socialist Labor party last night by Mrs. J. D. Hassfurther of Oakland. She mainteined that the common assertion that Bocialists were calamity howlers who sought to stir up agitation by exaggerating the dark side of present conditions wns false. She gave shori definition of socialism as being ‘“‘a vernment ownership of all monopoly.” flelp for social ills she belieyed was to come from human effort, and as for the Lord, she ex- pressed the opinion that “the Lord that owns this earth is the grand human famiiy that lives upon it.” Pasha kennel's’ Magie, | Montczuma kennel’s | | White Cockuds beatJ.

Federal Authorities Will Back the Mariner Who Snubbed the Doc- tor on the Bridge. Both the local and the State Bon(} of Health intend to back ug Quarantine Offi- cer Chalmers in his struggle for official existence, and it will soon be known whether the captain of a vessel may safely overlook him like a white chip when he climbs on board to make an inspection. Dr. Williamson, chairman of the quaran- tine commitiee of the Board of Health, said vesterday that Captain Finch of the Gaelicand Pilot Jordan would certainly be arrested to-day for violating the State quarantine laws. This will bring the squabble to a direct issue and the quarrel will be apt to be set- tled oue way oranother. The case is a fine one for a test of the right of the local and State authorities to maintain an independ- ent quarantine service aiongside the Fed- | eral one after the President has exercised { the discretion vested in him by law and proclaimed that the Federal Government will take charge of quarantine matters at this port. Captain Finch, havire the pers mission of Dr. Rosenau to land, totally ignored Dr. Chaimers and his authority and steamed ahead to his dock in cheerful disobedience of the express orders of the furions local officer. Of course if any offi- cer of the 'aw can be snubbed that way he may as weil quit, But Cavtain Finch is not worried and has plenty of good becking. If he should be fined tte $500 which the State law im- poses for refusal or neglect to obey and assist the Quarantine Officer, the Occiden- tal and Oriental Steamship Company will cheerfully pay it, for this and other ship- ping companies wish to recognize the Federal service as supreme, and it is un- derstood thas the captain’s action is in- dorsed by his superiors. All Federal authority will be at his back. Collector Jackson is very vigor- ously upholding the Federal end of the squabble, and the United States District Attorney will likely take a hand in the case. The situation involves an interesting question of State rights and also. one of practical expediency. This is the only large port in the United S:ates which the Federal Government has thus taken charge of. It maincains the quarantine { service at Port Townsend, Key West and a few other small pleees, and has tem- vorarily taken control of the admission of vessels from foreign ports at a few others in times of epidemic. At New York, New Orleans, Boston and other important ports, local or S:tate authorities maintain efficient quarantine service, which has never been invaded, the Marine Hospital service giving supplementary aid when needed. |y San Francisco never {Jcll!lles for such a serv ce under local control. There was no tumigating plant, no hospital «nd no place to care for quar- anuned passengers. The China steamers used to be held with the passencers all on board in Mission Bay when they came in with infectious diseases uboard or some- times the passengers were transferred to a hulk. Three yearsago the State Legisla- ture asked the Government to take charse of quarantine maiters here and the Chamber of Commerce passed strong reso- lutions to the same -ffect. Other simiiar requests were made and the establishment of a fine quarantine station on Angel Island was begun. The Government bas spent §250 000 on the service here, which costs $40,000 a year to maintain. The { local service consists of Dr. Chalmers, an intelligent and efficient physician, a | messenger and the boarcing-tug Governor Perkins. Dr. Chalmers’ sulary is $2400 and this quarantine service cosis the City about $8000 a year, which 1s between $1000 and $2000 more than the fees collected for quaraniine inspection and turned into the City treasury. Up to a few months ago the inspection of ircoming ships remained with the local quarantine cfficer, who would send ves- sels to the Government station, where his dictum. was accepted. Since a special treasury agent came out here a few months ago and investigated tke situa- tion, the marine hospital service has been ordered !o take charge of the inspection and admission of all ships from foreign ports ana has done so,to the turning down oi Dr. Chalmers.
