THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1898. REPLIES T0 ANNEXATION ADVOCATES Trades Council of the Capital Scores Fitzgerald. Repeats the Charge That He Misrepresented the Sentiment of Labor.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 3.—The Sacra- mento Council of Federated Trades | to-night sent the following reply to the Building Trades Council of San missioner’s official actions are public sroperty we haye the right to ask who efrayed his expenses to Washington? We do not question your right to praise Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald, though such course be a misfit with your past actions. Look back to proceedings of the United Labor Convention, in existence early last year. You were there, and so were we. On motion of a bright dele- gate from the Building Trades Council that convention recorded itself unalter- ably opposed to any reduction of wages. We have not departed from that prin- ciple, and, therefore, cannot uphold La- bor Commissioner Fitzgerald, who has reduced the wages of his minor subordi- nates. His salary of $250 a month, and that of Deputy Dam, $150, remained in- tact; only the poor recipients of *‘com- ensation” felt the cut. Look you well nto_this charge. Sacramento Federated Trades Council, cognizant of the serious- ness thereof, stands ready to substantiate Verily, brothers, your appellation to Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald's doings as “true to the cause of labor” is indeed ludicrous and your rising vote of thanks in compensation of his “services” a roar- ing farce.

It is also evi- dent that, so far as carrying out your instructions—namely, for the eight-hour £ granite work and immigration—the “ominissioner or any one else could have done as well without crossing the border of this State.

An issue of the Firebrand in July last was debarred from the mails by United States Attorney Murphy as unmailable, and Pope, who had pre- sented it at the Postoffice for mailing, | was arrested-at the time, and war- rants were issued for Addis and Isaacs. Addis was captured in the hop fields, and Isaacs surrendered himself a few days later. Pope and Addis were in the County Jail for some time, when Addis was released on bail, but Pope declined to give bail, and was finally released on his own recognizance. After the Grand Jury found a true bill against him he was placed in jail again. In his opening of the case United States Attorney Hill claimed that ar- ticles published in the Firebrand of certain dates, upon which the indict- ments were based, were indecent, las- | civious and lewd, and not fit for even adults to read. These papers had been procured by Postoffice Inspector Robinson, who had written to the publishers of the Firebrand for them under the name of R. A. Wiliams, and inclosed 50 cents to pay a year’s subscription. The papers were sent to him through the | by Addis, stating that the back num- bers asked for had been mailed, and informing him that by calling at the office he could .get others. The jury was out ten mjnutes. | Stockton Youth Arrested for the Theft of a Purse in a Restaurant. Taken Into Custody After He Had | Squandered Much of the Stolen Coin. | e | | Special Dispatch to The Call. STOCKTON, Jan. 3.—Edward Mec- Enerny, who comes of a well-known family of this city, and who has held | responsible positions, was arrested late | this afternoon on a charge of grand | 1arceny. He is accused of having stolen | a purse containing $140. When he was arrested $100 was found in his posses- sion. McEnerny and a companion were in | an eating house this forenoon and were seen ‘to leave shortly after another guest had departed. The latter re- turned soon, saying that he had lost | his purse. A search swas made, but it | could not be found. McEnerny was | suspected and shadowed. He was seen to make a show of money and spent | coin freely with his friends over bars. | He also went around paying various | small bills. As he had not been work- |ing for some time, and appeared to be | in hara circumstances, his friends were | at a loss to know where he suddenly came into possession of so much money. The officers who had been watching him placed him under arrest before he had time to “blow” any more of the coin. Young McEnerny is a youth of a good business education, and until recently held a responsible position in a real | estate office, where he was a trusted | employe. Afterward he was an at- tache of the County Recorder’s office, but of late he has been out of em- ployment. Whisky got the better of him and has left him a wreck. This €vening the young man’s father was trying to get him out of the scrape. BISMARCK’S CONDITION GROWS SOMEWHAT WORSE. Unfavorable News From Friedrichsruhe, Although the Recent Alarming Rumors Are Grossly Exaggerated. LONDON, Jan. 3.—The Berlin corre- spondent of the Daily News says there is unfavorable news from Friedrichs- ruhe, altbough the recent alarming rumors were grossly exaggerated. The rigorous way in which the _manor house is. closed to everybody facili- tates the circulation of unfounded re- ports. Dr. Schweninger has expressed ‘the opinion that Bismarck’s gout is taking its normal course and will soon pass over. It must not be forgotten, however, that his medical advisers are doing their utmost to prevent any un- favorable report from reaching Bis- marck, who takes a very pessimistic view of his condition. e e M Fatal Kick From a Mule. NAPA, Jan. 3—Willlam Kessel was perhaps fatally injured yesterday by a kick from a mule on the ranch of Reuben Clark at Monticello. The ani- mal’s hoof landed in Kessel’'s face and his nose was completely torn away. He is still unconscious. Kessel formerly worked in San Francisco and has a large circle of friends. —— Memorandum and blank books, diaries #ud Congressman Maguire.

Suffered Terrible Tortures From Starvation and Thirst. Got Slight Relief Through Lick- ing Sweat From the Ship’s Mast. SIXTY HOURS OF DESPAIR. - Neither Man Could Stand When Re- leased From His Voluntary Confinement. From death in a shipwreck to death by starvation and thirst in a steam- er’s cold-storage room seems a stretch Jacobson and Harry Christiansen nearly met their doom from both such causes, and that within the last three weeks. On December 10 the schooner Vests, was totally wrecked near the Car- manah light, and had it not been for the heroism of. Mate George Gene- went to sleep and were awakened by the crew closing up the place in which ‘we were hiding. The baggage was be- ing sealed up by the Custom-house of- ficers in order to save searching when the steamer got to San Francisco. But we did not know that fact and went to sleep again, intending to show our- selves on deck when the Umatiila had left Victoria and was on her way to sea. “You can imagine our feelings when we tried to get out of the chamber and could not. Then we kicked and yelled, but no one could hear us, and for awhile we gave up. Then we got hungry, but the hunger was soon swal- lowed up in the raging thirst. “Whether I was cold or warm, hun- gry or full I know not. All I can re- member is that all-consuming thirst. A certain amount of moisture gathered on the iron mast, and that we licked off every time it gathered. When it would all be licked from our feet as high as our heads we would pile up the baggage until we reached the roof- ing, and then we would begin at the bottom again. Finally, when the crew of the steamer was getting ready for the coming docking of the ship, we made ourselves heard and the seals were broken. We were taken on deck and could barely gasp ‘Water!” It was given to us, and then in a little while we got hungry. That meat they gave us tasted better to me than anything I ever ate in my life. We are all right now, but I never want to go through an experience like that again.” The cabin-boys on board the Uma- tilla say that they heard some strange noises in the freezing chamber, but did not pay any attention to them, thinking that it was the baggage moving with the motion of the ship. Luckily the cold air was not turned into the chamber, or the two men would have been frozen to death. —_— —e— Custom Was Not Honored. Contrary to custom, the Judges of the Superior Court did not hold a meeting and elect a presiding Judge yesterday. It has been the custom of the Judges to select u head on the first Monday of each year, but for some reason yesterday the custom was not honored by the mem- bers of the bench. It is thought that a presiding Juc will be cted to-day. —e—— Wants a Divorce. Matilda Thurber has commenced suit against Charles C. Thurber for a divorce. As a cause of action the plaintiff alleges cruelty. WHERE 1S THE HARRY MORSE? The Good Ship Now Out Twenty-Two Days From Seattle. Other Vessels That Left With Her Have Arrived and Sailed Again. Nothing Has Been Seen or Heard of ‘Her Since She Started for San Francisco. There is considerable speculation among seafaring men as to the fate of the American ship Harry Morse. She is now out twenty-two days from Seat- tle and vessels that left the Sound the same time as she did have arrived, dis- charged their cargoes and are on their way up the coast again. Among those which have got in were the Rufus E. ‘Wood, Spartan and Lucille. All of these made good average trips, yet not one of them spoke the Morse. The barkentine Skagit, nineteen days from Port Ludlow, and the schooner Okano- gan, sixteen days from Port Gamble, both got in yesterday and neither re- ported the overdue ship. Both of these, however, are lumber laden, while the Morse has on board a cargo of coal. The Harry Morse left San Francisco on May 19 last. She went to Puget Sound, where she loaded for Central America. From Central America she went back to the Sound and loaded for San Francisco. She carries a crew of sixteen all told.

As it was, Christiansen and I have been in the hospital at Seattle. clothes were dried and food given us. From there we went to Neah Bay in a rowboat, and from there to Port Townsend, where we were paid off. Christiansen and I then went to Seat- tle, where we were sent to the hos- pital. When we were discharged we could not get a ship and no sailor boarding-house would take us in, so we resolved to stow away on the Uma- tilla. We got into the forepeak and hid among the cargo, but on the way to Port Townsend it got so cold that we crept into a place where we were protected from the wind. That was the freéezing chamber, and there were la lot of trunks and valises reaux every soul on board would have He carried a line through the boiling surf to the shore, and by means of it the shipwrecked sailors reached a place of safety.

Andrew Jacobson and Harry Christiansen, after a narrow escape in the wreck of the schooner Vesta, stowed secreted themselves in the freezing N - away on the steamer Umatilla. They chamber and were accidentally locked in. For over sixty hours they were without food or water. Morse are now with the ship, but the following probably would be: J. N. Lane, captain; H. M. Speyer, chief offi- cer; Thomas McDonald, second mate; A. Johanson, carpenter; A. N. Winter, cook, and K. Saiga, cabin boy. Since the Morse sailed from Seattle a num- ber of heavy gales have prevailed on the coast. Shipping men think that the Morse may have been caught in one of these and being partly disabled may have been driven out of her course. Captain Lane is well known in San Francisco as a thorough seaman, and his friends are of .the opinion that the vessel will finally reach port in safety. The schooner Falcon arrived from Tahiti early yesterday morning with eleven of the crew of the Norwegian bark Gyda on board. Some time ago the bark was caught in a storm and had to put into the Marquesas, almost totally dismasted. She managed to reach Papeete under a jury rig and there, after several attempts to repair her had failed, the French authorities condemned her. Mate Gabrielson and ten of the crew shipped for San Fran- cisco on the Falcon and Captain Jonas- sen has remained behind to dispose of the cargo of cocoa that was on the bark when she was wrecked. Julius Homan, steward on the Sac- ramento River steamer Pride of the River, attempted to take his own life early yesterday morning. He had a quarrel with his sweetheart, Mrs. Mamie Hunt, who lives at 306 Pine street, and from there he went to Chinatown, where he purchased 25 cents’ worth of opium. He swallowed the drug and soon after was_found lying on the sidewalk on Jackson street. He was discovered by a police officer, who took him to the Harbor Re- ceiving Hospital, where Drs. Hill and Zabala pumped him out. Yesterday Homan was repentant and had come to the conclusion that no woman was worth his life. He says that the man who won Mrs. Hunt away from him is welcome to her. The steward was to have gone out on the steamer on her usual trip to Sacramento, but missed the vessel 'and will have to wait for the next trip. The Pacific Steam Whaling Company has been awarded the contract of car- rying the United States mails from Dyea to Unalaska. There were a num- ber of other bids put in for the work, but the whaling company’s bid was the lowest. The steamer Excelsior will be put on the route and will run at regular intervals during the spring and sum- mer. The whaling company also in- tends increasing its steamer facilities between here, Copper River and Skag- uay, and intends, if possible, getting its full share of the Klondike travel. Stathophulos & Catechi, the oldest and best known firm of restaurant keepers on the water front, have dis- solved partnership. Some time ago “Stath,” as everybody calls him, had a stroke of paralysis from which he has never fully recovered. Finding it im- possible to attend to the business he has sold out to his partner, who will in future run the concern. REDDING SCHOOL - WAS IV DANGER Fire Mysteriously Gains a Start in the Outbuild- ings. Employes of the Lurline Baths Turn Out and Subdue the Flames. The Redding School on Pine street, near Larkin, was saved from destruc- tion by fire last Sunday afternoon in a curious manner. The rear yard of the school, containing the outhouses used by the pupils, abuts on Austin street, a small alley running from Hyde street to Larkin, between Pine and Bush. On the opposite side of this thoroughfare are the Lurline Baths. Early in the afternoon the er-—loyes of the bathing establishmei.. saw flames arising from the outbuildings, and sending one of their number to the nearest engine house to call for as- sistance, prepared to make battle with the flames. A heavy fire hose provided for the protection cf the big bath house was hastily dragged to the upper portion of the building, and from a window that commanded a view of the out- houses was turned a powerful stream of water on the flames that threatened to communicate with the school build- ing. Before an engine could respond to the call the fire was out and word was sent to the fire house to hold the steamer. The origin of the fire is a mystery, but from the fact that a two weeks’ vacation was just closing, it is thought that it must be of incendiary char- acter. The buildings were damaged to the extent of several hundred dollars and will have to be replaced. FOR MORE THAN THREE SCORE. Jefferson G. James and Administrator Freese Jointly Celebrate. In acordance with a custom that they have observed for many years, Jeffer- son G. James and Public Administrator A. C. Freese jointly celebrated their birthday anniversary, last evening, at the home of Mr. James, 2135 Howard street. Alternately Captain Freese and Mr. James have presided at this delightful celebration, and in the course of natur- al events Mr. James was the host last evening. Mr. James chose to celebrate Captain Freese's three-score years and three and his own three-score and seven years by giving an elaborate dinner at his elegant Mission® home. Twenty-four guests were seated at a long table that was dazzlingly beau- tiful with a decoration at once novel and original. In the center of the table was a huge ship, five feet long, fash- ioned of American Beauty roses, and at either end of the board were im- mense sea-shells filled with the same glowing blossoms. The menu was fastened with the tri- color to tiny shells and the ices were served in molds representing a tiny ship, from the mast of which waved a tiny American flag. Seated at table were: Captain. and Mrs. A. C. Freese, Mr. and Mrs. A. W. ‘Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Baggett, Consul and Mrs. Simpson, Major and Mrs. Cluff, Mr. and Mrs. George Cam- eron, Mrs. Crooks of Tennessee, M. A. Dorn, Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Berlin; Mr. and Mrs. Percy Beamish, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Graves, Mr. and Mrs. Ed- ward Cluin and Mr. and Mrs. James. —_——— Thelr Trial to Be Here. J. N. and L. E. Davis, the two brothers ‘who are charged with attempting to rob the stage pl: between Ukiah and Lay- tonville o: yCl:filtmu eve, will be tngd for attempted robbery of the mail by the United States District Court in this’ city. DARING CROOKS [N THE TANKS Arrest of Ex-Messenger Boys for Robbing Stores. They Are Taken Before the Night Wateh and Identified. A Brace of Burglars Also Cap- tured by the Police. By the arrest of Joseph Grant and ‘William Hayes the police are con- vinced that they have caught the “window” burglars who have been operating in the Western Addition and south of Market street. During the past several weeks nu- merous complaints have been re- ceived at police headquarters concern- ing thé bold operations’ of the burg- lars. Their plan was to approach a store after it had been closed and, placing a piece of fly-paper on the window, break the gl If the occu- pants failed to hear the noise they would insert their hands in the aper- ture and get away with anything in sight. It is claimed that the prisoners have “cracked” at least a dozen places, se- curing booty valued at several hun- dred dollars. From a description given of the burglars the police arrested Grant and Hayes, both of whom are ex-messen- ber boys. They have heen in the tanks for several days, pending an in- vestigation. Last night they were “shown up” to the watch at the Central station for the purpose of having them identified. Several officers claimed that they had seen them in the Western Addition, and suspecting that they were crooks searched them. Failing to find any- thing of an incriminating nature on them they were aliowed to go. After the prisoners were identified they were returned to the City Prison and locked up in the tanks. Captain Bohen is convinced that Hayes and Grant are responsible for the numerous burglaries of stores committed in the Western Addition and south of Market. Several years ago they were in the employ of the messenger service, but were dismissed for certain irregularities. Grant is well known to the police. He was arrested several months ago for robbing a drunken man, but es- caped convicticn through the refusal of his victim to prosecute. Detectives Bee and Harper last night arrested two young men named Frank Thompson and Fred Allen and locked them up in_the tanks. They were found in a Montgomery-street pawnshop trying to dispose of a lot of silverware, which is supposed to have been stolen. Both men are well-known crooks. 'Thompson, it believed, is one of the burglars who have been operating in Oakland and Alameda. They will be held pending further investigation. RANCHERS NEED RAIN. Dairying Interests Damaged by the Long Drought. Superintendent J. A. Fillmore of the Southern Pacific Company returned vesterday from Salinas, whither he went on business connected with the road. Mr. Fillmore stated that the farm- ers in that section were in a‘state of fearful apprehension regarding the long-continued drought, which has.al- ready wrought great damage to dairy- men. It is declared that if there be no rain within a very few days much livestock must be shipped to other parts to save it, as pasturage is de- pended upon almost wholly for the matter of feed, and the grass is al- ready completely withered. So far as concerns grain, Mr. Fill- more says, there is no damage to re- port thus far, and rain within the next ten or fifteen days will make that crop safe beyond all peradventure. —————— @ Broached Cargo. Last ¥Friday evening H. N. Saunders, second mate of the Acapulco, was ar- rested by Deputy United States Marshal Gallagher for an alleged broaching of the cargo, three bottles of wine having been stolen from the hold.
