THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1898. b adjudication the H. 8. Crocker Company entered an opposition to his application for a discharge from his liabilities. The opposition alleged that the insolvent had concealed some of his assets from his creditors and as he was in the debt of the H. S. Crocker Company to the amount of $1500 it was anxious that his application be denied that it might get a judgment against him for the amount due. A man by the name of Bowen, it was alleged by the opposition, owed Polk some )0 for services performed and that he had not included the account in his schedule of liabilities. Polk admitted that he d received some money from Bowen which he used for current expen- ses, but denied that any amount was dus him from that source. Testimony was then introduced by Attorney Rothschild, who represented the H. S. Crocker Com- THE DAY IN CONGRESS | FLLOUIGE MR.

SENSATIONS IN PROSPECT. | Postoffice Department Warmly As- sailed in a Speech by the Californian. | Spectal Dispatch to The Call. | Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, Jan. 26. | 'The House devoted another day to the consideration of the Indian appropria- tion bill, most of the time being con- sumed, as on the two preceding days, in discussing extraneous subjects. By | far the most interesting feature of the | day was the debate on the question of | reducing the mail carrier service in the large cities, owing to the failure of the Senate to attach the estimated defl- clency of $160,000 to the urgent deficien- ey bill. This subject has been agitating the metropolitan cities ever since the order was issued for cutting down the force on February 1. A dozen Representa- tives from as many different cities pro- tested against the proposed reduction and urged an immediate appropriation, when Chairman Loud of the Postof- fice Committee and Chairman Cannon of the Appropriation Committee allayed the wrath of the members by assuring them that there was no occasion for larm; that the service could not pos- sibly suffer until June, by which time there would be ample opportunity to pass a deficiency appropriation. Loud u; strong words in his criticism of the Postoffice Department officials and promised some interesting disclosures lat The motion to strike out the appro- ation for the Cariisle Indian School 14 dei ted after considerable debate 9 to Ten pages of the bill were | disposed of to-day. The conference re- | port on the urgent deficiency bill was | adopted. An amendment offered by Kelly (D.) of South Dakota to Increase the number of Indlan pupils at Flandreau, S. Dak., to 3%0, and to increase the appropriation therefor $16,000, was defeated—11 to b4, The number of pupils provided for at the Salem (Or.) school was increased by fifty. he action on this protest drew out an indignant protest from Kelly, who paid his respects to erman and Cannon for looking with vor upon an amendment offered by a_member on the Republican side of the Houw: The latter replied good-naturedly, but referred to Kelly “bantam’ rooster,” and usually a “rather good-looking, amiable man.” The gentleman from South Dakota was evidently nettled, and he retorted with considerable bitt So far as physi- cal characterist nt, he sald, he thought Cannon might make as respect- able a looking rooster as himseif.

I grant that he is an adept at cheese-paring, but when mes to Danville, I1ll, he wanted vthing in sight.” Cannon did not make any reply to this | assault. ‘ Bro ell (R.) of Ohio got the floor at this point to submit some remarks upon | | the faflure of the Senate to place in the | urgent deficlency bill an _appropriation for the continuation of the full mail carrier service until July 1. It was well known, he said, that an order had been | issued 'to cut down the carrier service on | February 1. on He proceeded to comment the discrimination against certain | citie: notably Cincinnati, in the matter | o rier vice. | "Quigg (R.) of New York In reply main- | tained that the mall deliveries rn New | York City were absolutely necessary to | get the mall out of and into the great of- | fices in that cit; ces e | Williams (D.) of Mississippl made a | humorous speech, contrasting the condi- | tions now in his district, where the in- habitants went six or_ eight miles for | their mails and paid the same postage | for the privilege as did the inhabitants of the big metropolitan cities, who had their mall delivered free six or elght times |a day. As the Government was obliged to economize in order to keep the ex- penditures down to the receipts he thought it could not be done better than by cutting off three or four deliveries a | day at the big trade centers. Loud, chgirman of the Postoffice Com- mittee, made a sensational speech—or, rather, a speech promising sensational developments in the future. He was oarse and It was with difficulty he e heard. Only the circumstances of case, he sald, could induce him to | very could the attempt to say anything to-day. The question _ presented was one _far greater than the simple one of a delivery more or less in New York or Chicago. The statements of the gen- tleman from New York (Quigg), said he, were absolutely false and unfounded. That gentleman, he said, had been hav- ing himself interviewed, charging that he (Loud) was responsible for the existin, xéredlcamenl; that he (Loud) had defi ongress and the Postoffice and had forced the department to cut off the car~ riers. “Such criticism,” sald Loud, “is be- neath my contempt. The charge is made that the postoffice appropriation bill this | year carried $160,000 below the estimates. | I know the officials of the Postoffice De- | partment back that charge; but I assert | that it is false.” | “Then you allege falsehood against the onlcln.ls of the department?”’ interrupted uigg. “Let him take it who can s r(‘l)r[mléded Loe‘:l‘ld o h foan 2 woud proce o affirm that th - office officials had. contrary l?l Ploaswf‘. appointed 289 additional carriers and | created a prospective deficiency of $160,000. He said further that, in the face of an appropriation of $75,000 for incidental expenses, $107,000 | had been spent in six months. Over $0,- 000 of the reported deficiency, he said be- longed in that account. He urged mem- bers not to be so carried away by passion over the possible loss of a carrier or two as to yield the last vestige of their power of circumseribing the acts of the exec- utive branches of the Government. The perpetuity of the legislative branch of the Government was involved. Meantime, he declared that the service could not possibly suffer until June. The conference report on the urgent deficiency bill was submitted and agreed to. At 5:32 p. m. the House adjourned. T may not have had the executive ex-| perience of the gentleman from Illinois, said he. ‘Neither, I thank God, have I ROUNDED THE HORN IN A CALM. !

Narrow Escape of Two of the Crew of the Sharpshooter From Aspbyxistion. | The smartest trip of the year from Philadelphia to San Francisco completed yesterd: The Iroquois made the run in 128 days, and Captain Taylor says that he would have been ! in several days ago had it not been for the heavy northwest weather off the coast of California. From 50 in the Atlantic to 50 in the Pacific was cov- ered In twelve days. The Horn was rounded with every stitch of canvas set, the sea was almost as smooth as glass and the dangerous promontory was visible from the deck of the vessel. During the entire passage the shutters on the cabin windows were never closed. Paul Myrick, one of the crew, was taken sick soon after the vessel left Philadelphia, and Captain Taylor never expected to land him in San Francisco alive. Salilor-like, the crew grumbled at the sick man because he was not able to stand his watch and to prevent | him from being ill treated the captain had to move him aft. Myrick was for- merly a sailor on the German ship Ha- lena. While at work on her in Phila- delphia he fell down the hold and was terribly injured about the head, back |and legs. He was doctored at vari- | ous hospitals in the Quaker city, and |a few days after his discharge was | shipped on board the Iroquois by a ‘banrdlng-house runner, who got a $50 | advance on him as an A. B. The sec- ond day out Myrick's legs began to trouble him and at the end of a week | the unfortunate fellow was one mass | of running sores. He has been gradu- ally getting worse ever since, and di- | rectly after the ship docked yesterday | Captain Taylor summoned the ambu- | lance and sent him to the German Hos- | pital. Captain Taylor is accompanied by his wife and two sons and the latter’s governess, Mrs. Estee, wifc of the chief | officer of the ship. The two lads, | Willie and Ingram, have not only a menagerie, but a small garden. They have geraniums and roses in bloom and the captain also has a box of rare orchids which he received from the captain of a South American trading steamer. Willie Taylor has a little chipmunk which is a great pet of his and does all kinds of funny tricks. There were two of them when the ship left Philadelphia, but one of them died a few weeks ago and was buried at sea. There are also several chickens on board the vessel and little Ingram made pets out of them. One of them began to set, and borrowing an egg from his mother, Ingram placed it un- der the old hen. Much to his delight, a couple of weeks ago a little chick was hatched. He was heart broken, how- ever, when the chicken died and had to follow the chipmunk overboard. Two more schooners met with bad luck in the northwester that is blow- ing. The Viking was 100 miles west of Crescent City on her way to Grays Harbor when she carried away her foremast and had to put back for re- pairs. A fatality caused the return of the Amethyst. Shortly after leaving port John Ostrom, the mate, fell from the main boom into the sea and was drowned. He was 35 years of age and a native of Finland. Everything pos- sible was done to rescue the unfor- tunate man, but the sea was too heavy to launch a boat. The most important item of news in the Klondike rush is the charter of the steamer Humboldt by John A. Magee Jr. She will run between here and Dyea and Skaguay, leaving on her first trip on February 1. She will be the fastest and best vessel on the run for many months to come. The crew of the Hum- boldt will be furnished by the agents, M. Kalish & Co., and the purser wili be = was | W. H. Triggs. The chartering of this steamer is the biggest transaction yet recorded, as hundreds of thousands of dollars are involved in it. It is said that the steamer Czarina is to be taken off the Coos Bay trade, fitted with berths for 100 passengers and put on the Dyea-Skaguay run. The steam schooners National City and Albion have been chartered by the Alaska-Yukon Transportation Com- pany and will at once be fitted out as passenger steamers. The Albion will sail from here on February 5 and the National City five days later. The com- pany has booked its first passengers for Dawson City, via the Yukon. Mrs. Bjornstad and a party from Ross Val- ley will leave here about May 1 on the steamer National City. The steamer City of Puebla got away yesterday with the following passen- gers for Dyea and Skaguay: J. Ahrens, W. Steiner, D. Baltansky, M. R. O'Connel, H. Kahrs, Mrs. Gilman and two children, J A nsky, 1. Perre . Decoto, A. Nold, F. 3 . Neal, W. H. Peckham, M. John Gillson, J. Hilbert, Mrs. Kate Johnson, Mrs. F. Cligrial. Donald McLeod, a new arrival from Australia, was also to have been a pas- senger, but he got into the hands of the Philistines and missed his boat. Tues- day morning he had his ticket by the Puebla, £41 in sovereigns, $20 in gold and two gold rings. He met Pat O'Donnell and John Hessing, two sail- ors who were to have joined the Brit- ish ship Kilmory yesterday, and in their company visited Barbary Coast. Last night Officers Bean, Castor and Clifford heard that O'Donnell and Hes- sing were spending English money lavishly, so they locked them up on suspicion. On them were found £36, one ring and $645. Shortly afterward McLeod showed up and said he had been robbed and identified the two men. Captain Ferguson of the Kil- mory had to get two more sailors be- fore his vessel could put to sea. The schooner Actaea is fitting out at Brooklyn, Y., for St. Michael via Bermuda and San Francisco. She has been purchased by Captain Charles C. MecCarthy, late chief officer of the Pa- cific Mail Company’s steamer Star- buck. She will bring out ten passen- gers, three of whom are women. At a meeting of the Alaska Trade Committee yesterday morning it was decided to have an exhibit at the Min- ing Fair, showing the supplies neces- sary to last one man one year in the Klondike, and also to have a cooking exhibit, showing how the food should be prepared in the Alaska gold fields. The committee will distribute literature and give all the information regarding routes, sailing dates, fares, etc, and, in fact, establish a branch office at the fair for the purpose of informing those who have been induced to come via San Francisco, on account of the fair, of the real status of things in Alaska and to give the most accurate data on all points. H. Calkskein, the steward, and the second mate of the barkentine Sharp- shooter, had a narrow e. ‘ape from as- phyxiation yesterasy. The barkentine has been chartered to carry sugar from Honolulu and as she was infested with rats it was determined to kill them off before putting the vessel into commis- sion. Accordingly everything was bat- tened down and a charcoal fire started in the hold. The fumes awoke the two men who had gone to sleep in their bunks, and they were helped on deck only just in time. Calkskein was ta- ken to the Harbor Receiving Hospital, where Dr. Deas soon had him out of danger. On the 6th inst. reinsurance was paid in England on the following vessels: British ship Glenpark, from Rio de Janeiro for Astoria under charter to G. W. McNear, 8 guineas per cent; Ra- venscrag, from Port Townsend to Cal- 1ao with 1,000,000 feet of lumber aboard. 10 guineas per cent; Strousa, from San Francisco to Leith, 15 guineas per cent. (The Strousa arrived at Leith on the 234 inst.) And the steamer Pelican, from Port Townsend for Taku, 85 guineas per cent. CRORS ARE | HARD T0 FIND Slow Progress Being Made in the Figel Murder Case.

The best money value in the store—really too good for so little money, but they make custom- ers, who come again. °*10 For Single and Double Breasted A little better progress was made yes- terday in the work of impaneling a jury to try Theodore A. Figel, the young bookkeeper who is accused of having shot and killed Isaac Hoffman. Two of the talesmen, A. Pauba, a re- | tired tailor living at 833 Ellis street, B and R. Lewin, a blacksmith residing at | satisfactorily an- | § 84 Belcher street, swered all of the questions asked them. They were acceptable to both the prose- cution and defense, and were sworn in | by Clerk Tolle. Figel, who will remain in the custody | of the Sheriff during the trial, arrived in the courtroom at 9:30 o'clock, in charge of Sheriff Whelan. He did not appear to be in the least concerned. ‘When the examination of Frank Du- | mont, M. Savage, A. H. Phelps, T.| Frahm, F. W. Whiteside, Henry Hamil, A. Pauba, J. M. Merrill, A. S. Tubbs, W. | G. Doane, C. Cohen and R. Lewin, thei talesmen who were drawn Tuesday | evening, commenced, there were but| few spectators in the courtroom. The | case seems to have lost interest for the | idle and curious who thronged the Po- | lice Court during the days of the pre- liminary hearing. | Talesmen Savage, Phelps, Hamil, Doane, Tubbs and Cohen were excused because they had fixed opinions. Tales- men Dumont and Whiteside were per- emptorily challenged by the prosecu- tion, and the defense exhausted two per- emptory challenges on Talesmen Frahm and Merrill. Both sides then announced that they | were satisfled, and Pauba and Lewin were sworn in. Judge Cook then directed Clerk Tolle | to draw ten more names from the box. They were: Simon Scheeline, A. 8. Lowndes, G. B. Barber, J. F. Murray, Charles Nathan, Charles Coleman, Lewis Joseph, William Kilday, W. B. Chapman and H. Harms. ‘When adjournment hour arrived, Kilday, Chapman and Harms remained out of the ten to be examined. Schee- line was excused because he had formed an opinion; Lowndes and Murray be- cause they were not on the assessment roll; Barber because he was opposed to capital punishment, and Nathan, Cole- man and Joseph because they were friendly to the families of both the dead man and the prisoner. Another attempt will be made to-day to complete the jury.
