LOUISE VEILLER. R R S O TS e YUY LIVED IN FEAR OF CAPTURE The Charles E. Moody’s Momentous Voyage. ANCHORED ON DUXBURY REEF| | NARROW ESCAPE OF THE SHIP GALENA. Enormous bums in Subsidies Being * Paid by the Japanes: Govern- ment to Increase Her Merchant Marine. The American ship Charles E. Moody 18 safe in port. For 135 days the crew lived In constant fear of being captured | by a Spanish privateer, and before the | voyage was a week old some of the sail- | ors vowed that they were foreordalned to end their days in a Spanish prison. The Charles E. Moody sailed from Phil- adelphia on April 29, or two days after | the declaration of war with Spain. Cap- tain Leonard remarked before sailing that he guessed the dons would have thelr hands full keeping out of the way of Un- cle Sam’'s warships, without bothering | with merchant prizes. Still a bright look- | out was kept, and one night when in the | Bermudas a big steam vessel hove In | sight, and all hands were called, and ev- | ery man had his heart in his mouth. The | Moody had every stitch of canvas set, and was reeling off her ten knots as reg- ularly as the hour came around. It was in the mate’s watch that the big black mass hove up out of the darkness. Not | a light was visible, but the hull kept ris- | ing* and rising and looming up blacker | and blacker. Captain Leonard was call- | ed, and by the time he got on deck two | smokestacks and a fighting mast were | visible. The warship paid no attention | to the wind-jammer, but kept on her | course and she was soon hull down, much to_the relief of the crew. The last steamer for St. Michael _this season got away yesterday. The Port- | land, of the Alaska Commercial Compa- ny’s line, sailed for the north loaded down with provisions, but with very few pas- sengers. Among her cargo was ten tons of ice, which i8 expected to last the pas- sengers_and crew until the Arctic ice is met in Bering Sea. The American_ship Kenilworth salled esterday from Valparaiso for New York {n command of Captain Murphy, late of the Shenandoah. Soon after leaving Hilo for New York the Kenilworth caught fire, and the captain, mate and cabin boy were suffocated. The second mate took the vessel into Valparaiso, where the fire was put out and the vessel overhauled. The Japanese Government is doing all in its power to bulld up a merchant ma- rine. It is fostering steamer lines run- ning from Yokohama to all parts of the wofid, and in a month or so three Jap- anes owned steamers will be carrying merchandise and passengers to and from | San Francisco. In order to enable these new companies to compete with foreign concerns the Japanese Government under the “shipping encouragement regula- tions” pays & bonus of over four million ven a year. Thus the Siberian line of Steamers receives 50,201 yen from the Gov- ernment, the Chinese line 30,179 yen, the European lines 2,523,572 yen, the Seattle line 910,578 yen, and the San Francisco line 899.661 yen. These amounts are to be pald for a number of years, so that onco the Japs get into good working order they will make things warm for the un- subgldized lines. The bark Nicholas Thayer arrived from Nushagak_yesterday with 23570 cases of salmon. On June 15 Frank Wigrau, one of the cannery hands, died. He was 45 Vears old and a native of Finland. On the American bark George F. Man- now out 132 days from Sydney, N. S. W., 80 per_cent reinsurance was pald yesterday. The J. D.

At 3 a. m. yesterday he passed Point Reyes, and steering east southeast, expected to make San Franclsco in a few hours. When off port ~he heard the whistling buoy, and It being foggy he headed his | Vi for it and placed a man in the| to throw the lead. The vessel ran close up to the whistle and then the mate, who was on the forecastle, called out “‘Captain, this buoy is labeled ‘Dux- bury. The ship was at once anchored, and Captain Blalr sat down to awalt a breeze that would take him out of his erflous position. Luckily Captain F. ordan, in the pilot boat America, saw the Galena and at once made for her. The fog lifted, a light breeze sprang up | and the Galena reached port in safety. Uncle Sam wants at least 400 sallors, and the sooner they are recruited the bet- ier he will be pleased.

Fine Importatiicniofif "French Milli- nery and Dress Goods at Hale Bros. One of the most attractive dry-goods | stores In the city at the present time is | Hale Brothers, 937 to 947 Market street. For some time past the firm has been preparing to give the public a surprise in the shape of the finest stock of mil- linery, silks, neckwear and a hundred other articles and goods that go to make up the contents of an up-to-date estab- lishment. In order that these might be ‘prop?rlf’ presented it was decided to have an exhlibition of this fall opening, which began at 8 o'clock yesterday and will con- tinue to-day and to-morrow. By 11 o’clock every department of the store was filled with visitors, and the inspection of the goods proved'all that had been promised y the firm. Millinery from the most fashionable makers of Paris came in for much admiration of the fair sex of this city, and costumes from the finest dress- makers of that gay city recelved an equal share of the praise.” The firm takes :@rcat ride in_its recent importations. | The show-windows are attracting much attention. In one of the windows is to be seen a beautiful collection of decora- | tive art goods, also from across the At- | lantic, and the adjoining display is of im- | ported silk goods, with their appropriate trimmings. It is certain that the rush will be kept up for several days to come. —_— e CORONER’S VERDICTS. Three Accidental Deaths for Which There Was No One to Blame. An inquest was held yesterday by Coro- ner Hawkins on the body of Willlam Hus- sey, a coal miner, who died on September 5 in St. Luke's Hospital, in this city, from the effects of injuries recelved by being caught between the side of a cage and a shaft In the Tesla coal mine, Contra Costa County. ¢ The jury returned a verdict to the ef- fect that the death was accidental, and censured the Tesla Coal Company for not producing witnesses at the inquest, Verdicts of accidental death were re- turned in the cases of Michael J. Rfiley, run over by the San Jose train at the intersection of Treat avenue with Twenty- second street, and Simon_Flaherty, run over bgr an electric car at Eighteenth and Church streets. It was shown by the witnesses that the motorman and the engineer in both cases rang the bells and gave sufficlent warning to the unfortu- nate men, but that one stepped back on | the track' just before the engine struck him, and the other was concealed from the motorman by a curve in the road. —_——— Ministers’ Meetings.

OFFICERS ENGAGE IN ISTICUFFS Captain and Doctor Spar Over Coffee. WHOLE REGIMENT LOOKS ON GENERAL MILLER PROHIBITS ALL ROWDY ASSEMBLAGES. Furloughs Optional for the Men Being Mustered Out—Sequel of the Attack on the Thomas Family. As the result of a personal encounter early yesterday morning between two of the officers of the Fifty-first Jowa Regi- ment, both are now, under arrest, and one of them is nursing a fractured shoul- der. The affair occurred just outside of the mess tent of the fleld and staff offi- cers during breakfast, and the partici- pants were Captain J. T. Davidson, the | regimental adjutant, and Surgeon First Lieutenant Donald Macrae. The affair was one of those unfortunate kind that are the result of a quick temper and the excitement of the moment. Neither officer engaged in the difficulty when seen would discuss It, but from other sources the facts were learned. Captain Davidson and Lieutenant Macrae are members of the fleld and staff mess, and the former | officer is at present the caterer of it. It appears that until quite recently Lieu- tenant Frank M. Compton, battalion ad-| jutant of the Becond battalion, was the | caterer. Some of the members of the mess thought that it was costing them rather high, so Lieutenant Compton re- signed in favor of Captain Davidson, in order to see if he could reduce the ex- penses. Yesterday morning at breakfast Lieu- tenant Compton found fault with the cof- fee, and Captain Davidson replied that | it was the same kind that had been fur- nished by Lieutenant Compton when he was caterer. Here it was that Lieutenant Macrae, in an innocent way, ventured the | remark that it did not taste the same. | Captain Davidson lost his temper, and hotly demanded of the lieutenant if he meant to insinuate that he was a liar. Macrae replied warmly that he did not, | but insisted that the coffee was off-color | Just the same, and having taken his po- sition he refused to retreat. One word led to another, and the affair came to a head when Captain Davidson fired a cup | of the coffee at the lieutenant. He missed | his mark, and concluding that he could | do more effective work at close range he | invited the lieutenant outside the tent. The young surgeon quickly accepted his invitation to transfer the scene of hos- tilities. When the officers reached the | outside they lost no time in getting down to work, with the whole regiment look- | ing on. They clinched and the lieutenant fell on top of the captain. At this junc-| ture Colonel Loper appeared, and order- | ed both officers to desist and go to their | quarters under arrest. They promptly obeyed. Colonel Loper reported the af- falr to General Miller, who commended Later in the day Captain Davidson made most ample and full apologles to Lieu- tenant Macrae for losing his temper, and | as far as any personal feeling is con- cerned the two officers are again friends, | ‘The injury to Captain Davidson's shoul- der will incapacitate him for duty for| some days. In view of the facts that the | officers have shaken hands, Colonel Lo- per stated that he would probably re- lease them from arrest to-day, and that no further steps would be taken in the matter, as the fncident would be consid- ered closed. It is possible that First Lieutenant Cave Johnson, Company H, First Tennessee Regiment, may have to appear before a court martial to answer the charge of conduct prejudicial to good order and military discipline. The affair is being kept very quiet by the officers of the regiment, and there is a possibility that | it may be smoothed over without any | formal proceedings. It :fpe&!s that dur- ing the absence of Captain O'Brien, com- manding the company, that Lieutenant Johnson, for some trifling offense, placed some of the men under arrest. It is clalmed that the offense did not warrant the arrest, and when Captain O'Brien re- turned he released them. This is said to have nettled the lieutenant, and sev- eral days after he refused go take the | company out and drili it when ordered by his captaln. Charges are said to have been preferred by Captain O'Brien against Lieutenant Johnson, and these Colonel Smith is now Investigating, with the view | of seeing If the difficuity cannot be mmm‘)al! adjusted. Captain Whitthorn, Company B, First Tennessee Regiment, makes a very plain statement regardlng the alleged ‘attack upon the negro H. A. Balley, sald to have been made & few nights ago in Union Square by Privates J. B. Spencer and George H. Russ of his company, He is now making an investigation, and he de- clares that if the men are ity they shall certainly be punished. rom what Captain Whitthorn says the two men named, with another soldier, were in the square when theK met Bailey and had some words with him. They then left the negro. At the time the two soldiers are said to have been almost helplessly drunk. From what can be learned it appears that Balley returned and renewed the trouble with the soldiers, bringing with him a club. He got the best of the two soldiers and they were put to flight. Neither Spencer nor Russ is a Tennesseean. If the captain ascertains that the men were at fault in provoking the negro he will prefer charges against them, but it seems that Bailey is to blame for returning and renewing the trouble. Colonel Smith yesterday returned the report of the board of officers, appointed to assess the damage done the property of the Thomas family, to General Miiler. The board fixed the ‘damage at $231, which Colonel Smith refused to pay. His refusal is based more or less upon a technical Fround. F¥rom the report of the board it s shown that the soldiers of the Tennes- see regiment alone are responsible, and as it is an established fact that some of the soldiers of the Jowa and Kansas regi- ments were in the crowd that damaged the property, Colonel 8mith {s unwilling to pay the entire damage and thus make it arpenr that his regiment was entirely to blame. He had a long conference with General Miller upon the subject, with tne result that the latter will sp{mlnt a board of Inquiry to ascertain just who is re- sponsible, and that if more than one regi- ment was concerned just what proportion of the dam: each ih‘"e(fl 3 . General Miller has issued the following order: “The assembling of enlisted men in crowds or large parties beyond the limits of thelr respcctive camps is pro- hibited. This order arpues particularly to_the streets in the vicinity of the Pre- sidio as well as to the Presidio proper. flx‘xud will break up and dis- perse all suci rowds and will arrest and confine in the gunrflhunse at the Presidio all soldiers who fail to comply with the Woman.” He told of the great stru; she had gone through to reach her thl;f ent standard, and was in favor of her further advancement. In the discussion that_followed, Dr. Hemphill, Dr. Scott, Dr. Minturn and Dr. Carson participated. At _the Con{{veznuona.l ministers’ meet- ing, Rev. W. W. Lovejoy, who will short- 1y leave for Los Angeles to act as pastor in one of the lefldlng churches there, read a carefully prepared paper. e i B S i L Henry L. Foreman’s Will. The will of Henry L.

Rottanzi Also Declares in Favor .f as Low a Rate as Will Meet the Requirements of the City. The tax levy will be taken up by the Board of Supervisors, sitting in commit- tee of the whole, at 10 o’clock to-morrow morning, when the present flscal year taxes will be fixed. The matter came up before the board at its regular session yesterday, when Supervisor Clinton of- fered a resolution amendatory of the mo- tion made by Britt to devote $75,000 to the purchase of land embraced in the pro- posed St. Mary's Park. Clinton’s resolution pledged the Supervisors to keep the city and county levy down to $1 15 and appro- priated the sum asked for by Mr. Shad- burne for the park. There was such strong opposition to the resolution that Clinton withdrew it and allowed the park appropriation to' be passed. He gave notice, though, that he would reintroduce that portion relating to the tax levy later in the day. Mayor Phelan asked when the Finance Committee would meet for the purpose of taking up the levy, and after a consulta- tion among the members it was decided to meet Wednesday morning in commit- tee of the whole. Clinton then announced that he would present his resolution at that time. Rottanzi, in the course of a speech on the tax levy, took occasion to denounce the Examiner for insinuating that he was not likely to support a low tax rate. ‘tne doctor declared that as some of the de- partments—notably the hospital—were conducted, $1 15 might not be sufficient to meet the requirements of the government, but he certainly was in favor of a low rate—just as low as the city could get along with—and he would certainly oppose any attempt to make any material in- crease over the present rate. Smith then offered the following reso- lution, which was referred to the Finance Committee: “Resolved, That in making appropria- tions for this flscal year, of the amount set aside for school purposes a provision be made In sald levy requiring the Board of Education to expend there- from a sum not to exceed 330,00 for the erection of a schoolhouse in the district west of Castro street.” The clerk was instructed to notify the heads of the various municipal depart- ments of Wednesday’s meeting, in order that they might attend if they cared to do_so. The board received bids for a power plant at the Almshouse, ‘and referred them to the Hospital Committee. Bids were also recgived for 100 Keyler boxes for the fire alarm and police telegraph system, and they were referrea to the Fire Department” Committee. Permission was anted the National Athletic Club to hold a boxing exhibition during the month of October. The following contractors were granted extensions of_ time on their street con- tracts: Dowling, paving crossing of Church and Thirteenth streets, thirty s; Flinn & Treacy, constructing stone % da; Bl(f;walks on Jones street, near Pacific, | and on Bernard, between Jones and Tay- lor, sixty days each; City Street Improve- ment Company, paving crossing of Wal- nut and Clay, thirty days. The demand of the Risdon Iron Works for §$20% for seventy hydrants supplied to the Fire Department was ordered paid. =T STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
