12 . THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SA' URDAY, JULY 9, 1898. L SRl R e e e ————— WILL FLY THE AMERICAN FLAG Hawaiian Vessels to Be So Honored. ANNEXATION DOES THE TRICK| 0. AND 0. STEAMERS PREVENTED CALLING AT HONOLULU. Unknown Man Drowned at Section 3 of the Seawall in Presence of Captain Hansen’s Wife. The annexation of Hawall has given | Bfty-three vessels American registry. Of | these twenty-four are steamers, four full | rigged ships, ten barks and seventeen | schooners. The China and Zealandia flew | the Hawalian flag, but when the Govern- | ment chartered them for transports they were at once given American registry. The Pacific Mafl and the Southern Pa- | cific will be galners, as their steamers, | Aztec, Barracouta and San Mateo, all come in under the new regime. They were bullt in England, and for a long time | traded for their American owners under | the British flag. When the question n(: annexation came up, Collis P. Huntington | took occasion to send them, one after an- | other, to Honolulu, where they secured a | Hawalian registry. The Barracouta was | the last one to go down, and her owners had a great deal of trouble, as they also had with the China, in getting her under the Hawaiian flag. Il other twenty steamers are nearly all engaged In the Inter-island trade Of | these the largest are the Claudina, which brought the news of the revolution to San Francisco; Kiuau and Mauna Loa. | The Claudine is 609 tons burden, and was built in England in 1890; the Kiuau is 773 tons burden and was built in Philadel- | a in 1883, and the Mauna Loa is 36| tons burden and was built in Port | Blakele Nearly all the other | steame 1t in San Francisco. | The whaling steamer Alexander =2lso | comes under the flag. She was formerly | the Russian steamer Alexander IIL When fitted out for a sealing cruise a | number of vears ago by San Francisco parties she was placed under the Ha- waiian flag. The Alexander is now in the | Arctic. | The ships that will now fly the Stars | and Stripes ar The Fort George, Heien | Brewer, John Ena and Hawailan Isles. The Fort George was formerly a British ship, but w sold to Hawalian mer- chants and put under the Hawaian flag. The other three vessels were built in Eng- land for Hawalian parties. The bark: 1l well known here, are: The Andrew Welch, Foohng Suey, Iolani, Diamond Head, Mauna Ala, Nuuana, R. P. Rithet, Rosalie, Himalaya, Roderick | Dhu and Santiago. All of them are en- gaged in the sugar trade. The Roderick Dhu was formerly the British ship of that name. The Diamond Head was for- merly the British bark Galnsborough. While on her y to Honoluiu from Syd- ney, N. 8. W. ith a_cargo of coal, she nt on the reef near Diamond Head and abandoned. The wreck was pur- by Hawaiian parties, who got the oif and renamed her Diamond | Of the schooners, only two are engaged | in the sugar trade. They are the four- masted steel vessels Americana and Hono- | Julu, built in_England a few years ago. | The other schooners are small craft, of | to 100 tons burden, all engaged sland trade. dentar ana Oriental ind the eamship companies will feel the effect of annexation. None of thef former company’s vessels and the Ocean- jc Company's Moana will in future be| able to stop at Honolulu and do busine: Of course they can stop to land ngers and freight on their way f China and Australia to San Francisco, | but on the outward trip they will have| to_skip the isiands.

The three- schooner Laura May, was Iying there and the man came staggering | along and sat down on a stringer near | where she was docked. The only person | on the vessel was Mrs. Hansen, wife of | the captain, and she did all in her power to save him but failed. After remain- | ing seated for a few minutes watchinu | the vessel the man attempted to get on | his feet, but lost his balance and feit between the schooner and the wharf. He | must have struck the fender pile in his | fall, because he was struggling feebly | when he came to the surface. Mrs. Han- gen threw a plank over to him, which he caught hold of. She then ot ashore and | ran over to the Ocean Pearl saloon, where she told the people there was a man drowning. One of the men returned to | the schooner with her, and_they both | heard the man in the water. The rescuer | was afrald to get into the vessel's dingy, | however, and while he was making up | his mind the man disappeared. It was about 10 p. m., and Mrs. Hansen can only give a meager description of the drowned man. He was a iittle over the medium height, well dressed in dark clothes and | wore a soft hat. he warned him of his | danger when he went to sit down, but he paid no attention to her. | The ferry steamer Sausalito was robbed | agaln last night. About a menth ago, while she was lying at Lombard-street wharf, the restaurant was broken into | and about $30 taken out of the casn | drawer. Thursday night some one broke into the barroom and secured over $50 out of the cash register. All attempts to trace the thief have so far failed. The Alaska-Yukon Transportation Com- pany is to carry on business as usual, and its two river steamers, now at the Fulton Iron Works, will probably start in a few weeks for St. Michael. Josepn M. Rothchild, as a representative of the creditors, succeeds W. J. Scammel on the directorate, and F. Dassonville will also represent the creditors at St. Mich- sel. He will have full charge of the river business, wiil handle all the money earned by the steamers at that end. The Pacific Mail has chartered {n Hong. kong the British steamer Glenfarg. She will replace one of the steamers taken by the Government as transports. The visiting and local members of the National Turn Verein had an excursion around the bar on the steamer Ukian yesterday. All the points of interest wers visited and the visitors had an enjoyable time. OBJECT TO CHINESE CREWS. Local Labor Cr:uun;:fl’fisking Investi- gations—Varnishers and Pol- ishers Elect New Officers.

EASTERN SYNDICATE’S OFFER GREAT RELIEF FROM PRESENT CONDITIONS. Would Save Much Money to the Pub- lic and Insure a First-Class Supply Under All Cir- cumstances. Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES July 8.—At last it would seem that there was some pros- pect of the City Council considerin~ a effect of settling the much vexed water question, which for ten vears has been a subject of local discussion here. As The Call has *--“~+~ stated, the city has been utterly unable to enforce its rights under the cortract made with the water company thirty years ago. This fact is due to the loose manner in which the contract was drawn and to the further fact that the municipality has not been properly protected in its rights under that contract, which it should have enforced. The contract expires on the 22d inst., and there is ubsolutely no possibility of the city purchasing the water com- pany’s improvements to its plant. A deal cannot possibly be made between the two narties owing to the complica=f tions surrounding the case. If the con- tract expires Mavor Snyder holds that the city cannot give another party a| six months in any one perfod. If the city enters into litigation with the water company over the contract and endeavors to get | possession at a reasonable figure there will be weary years of litigation during which the company would retain pos- session of its plant and the city would be at its mercy. This afternoon Kessler & Co., through their representative, E. Waltman, made substantially as follows: In considera- agree to take the plant of the present | | company and immediately improve it | by the expenditure of £400,000 to $500,000 to bring it up to date sufficient to sup- ply the wants and needs of the city. | They will furnish the ¢ity with all the water it needs for municipal purposes, | fire, park: streets, et free. This would amount to about $75,000 per year. | They will pay taxes on their plant to | the amount of about $30,000 per year, | which under municipal ownership | would not be paid. They will give the | City Council the right to regulate water | rates, and will guarantee that they will never be higher than they are to-day. | They will give to the city a percentage | of thelr gross income, commencing at a low figure, say 2 per cent, and increas- | ing thereafter. This money could be placed in a sinking fund for ultimate purchase of the plant. Lastly, they | will agree to clear all clouded title the | city has to the property and vest the | rights now in litigation solely in the | city. Under no circumstances would the people of this city be satisfied if the | present water company’'s franchise | were renewed. This is owing to the | strong prejudice in the community ex- | isting toward the corporation. Recog- nizing this fact, Kessler & Co agree to | give a bond in the sum of $100,000 that | the present company has nothing to do with the proposition they are making to the Council. | Kessler & Co. are a firm of New York | bankers, who have been in business | since 1837. They represent largely Ger- man capital and have handled many ! business deals in North and South | America, representing millions of dol- lars. | At the session of the City Council on | Monday the proposition of Kessler & Co. will be considered. It will be re- ported by the Water Supply Committee | and will come up for d fon. | NEW TARIFF SCHEDULES FOR THE PHILIPPINES President’s Scheme Discussed by the Cabinet and Referred to the Secretary of State. WASHINGTON, July 8.—A large share of the day's cabinet meeting was con- the new tariff schedules, to be put in| operation in the Philippine Islands as soon as our forces shall have taken possession of Manila. The formal announcement by the President of his purpose to collect the customs revenues of the Philippines as a war measure had been prepared, and after a discussion lasting an hour or more it was referred to the Secretary of State, to- gether with the schedules for final exam- ination. It is probable that the Presi- dent’s declaration will be issued within the next two or three days, and possibly to- morrow. As soon as approved the sched- ules will be given to J. F. Evans of San Francisco, a customs expert, who will pro- ceed to Manila, and as soon as practica- ble after our forces occupy the city put them into effect. The general direction of the matter, however, will be In the hands of General Merritt, the military governor of the islands. —_— ST. LOUIS VISITED BY A VIOLENT RAINSTORM Cellars Flooded and Great Loss Sus- tained by Storekeepers—No Loss of Life. ST. LOUIS, July 8—In St. Louls and vicinity during the past twenty-four hours 5.08 inches of rain, the heaviest record for years, has fallen. In badly drained sections of the city the cellars are full and the®lower storles of many houses are wet with several feet of wa- ter. In the outlying districts, more espe- clally Cheltenham. the water Tose to such a helght that it threatened the residents, who sought safety on improvised rafts. The_stocks of stores in various sections of St. Louis were damaged. The total loss will amount to several thousands of dollars. Almost all the residents and store- keepers on Chouteau avenue for a dls- tance of six blocks suffered damage to their buildings and stocks of goods in sums ranging form $100 to $3000. Other sections of the city suffered to a greater or less extent. No lives were lost. i vt vds Henry Norman, Special Commissioner of the London Chronicle, ‘Writes About the New America In Next Sunday’s Call. —_———— REAL EXTATE TRANSACTIONS. C. L. Jr. and Laura F.

JOHN VARCOE’S SOFT BILLET REWARDED BY THE GANG FOR POLITICAL WORK. Mayor Martin’s Persistency Secures the Appointment of His Son to a Desirable Sec- retaryship. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, July 8.—The promise that San Jose would be given a ‘‘business administration” is not being carried out by the City Council. There is a leakage of $100 per month in the office of City Clerk Cook. This is the month- ly salary pald to John Varcoe, who is supposed to be revising the city ordi- nances, when in reality he is nothing but a deputy of that officlal. The em- ployment of Varcoe has been kept a secret, and no one but the officials about the City Hall 1is supposed to know that he is employed there. Varcoe’s position is a sinecure, and was given him as a reward for politial work done for the Rea gang. When the new charter created the position of Secretary of the Police and Fire Com- mission Varcoe bobbed up for the place. The gang stood by him and he was programmed for the secretaryship. Mayor Martin refused to have Varcoe as his secretary and appointed his son, Hippolyte J. Martin, one better quali- fled In every way for the duties. The gang were inclined to insist on Varcoe having the secretaryship, but the threat of Mayor Martin to break the entire slate arranged by Rea quieted affairs. The Mayor told them point blank that his son must have the place or he would refuse to appoint Morrison as Street Superintendent and Beasly as City Attorney. Then the question of providing for Varcoe came up, and it was decided to put him in the City Clerk’s office. Before the recent city election the | people were promised that expenses would be reduced, and especlally in the City Clerk’s office. The collection of the city taxes was transferred to the County Tax Collector’s office, and it was said one and perhaps two clerks in the Clerk’s office would be dispensed with. Instead there has been no cur- tailment. City Clerk Cook denies that Varcoe is a deputy of his, but never- | theless that worthy does part of the Clerk’s work.
