Seeks to Enjoin Pnyx;zént of Demands Against the School Department. J. M. Thomas, “for himself and such other creditors similarly zituated, who de- sire to share in the expense of action,” has sued Auditor Wells and the several hundred creditors of the School Depart- | ment to determine the amount of offsets | and to obtain an injunction until a de- cree to divide the school fund proportion- ately among the creditors is entered. Thomas, who is a merchant creditor in | the sum of $520, avers that the Auditor is about to allow the claims of the teachers for the demands of the teachers and jani- tors so that they will receive their money in full from the $70,00 to be paid into the school fund January 6, which would, he claims, be in violation of the agreement tuf April 19, 189, whereby the merchant | ereditors and the teachers agreed to di- vide the funds remaining, one half for the benefit of each class of creditors.

Swept by Tidal Wave She Nearly Goes Down. HREE more of the overdue fleet made port yesterday. All had a terrible time of it off the Horn dur- ing the month of October and one of them nearly went down under a *tidal wav of the Louls Pasteur and at Portland Tuesday and the Godiva and Cassard at port ye v leaves to be accounted for only one of the overdue caught in the October gales off the Horn. That vessel is the French bark General Neumayer and the underwriters now fear | that she was the vessel that was rumored to be ashore at Cape Horn. All the ar- rivals report heavy weather and some of twem suffered to a great extent, one, the Godiva, was swept fore and aft. left Newcastle, in company for this port. Both v, assages and on each of them 10 per cent reinsurance was paid. The Rajore made port last week and re- ported a very hard time of it rounding the Cape of Storms. Sunday last the Godiva The Godiva and Rajore Eng. showed up off the heads and Pilot Meyer | boarded her. me on to blow and the ship had to off ashore and It was not until afternoon that she howed up off the Golden e again. | She looked weather beaten and a closer | inspection showed that she had seen heavy weather. Everywhere from cabin the storms had left traces )f their visit and not a man aboard was orry to hear the command, “Let go the anchor,” when the ship was off Meiggs wharf. Captain Trunks. in his report, says that the month of October opened with heav weather. From the 3d to the 16th the v sel was almost continually under water and the crew suffered in a corresponding degree. On October 17, what the captain describes as a “tidal wave” or. sea’” broke aboard and swept everything movable on deck away. The cabin skylights were broken and four feet of water flooded the cabin. The s washed out, life buoys, s, lamps, ventilators, were carried away, the entire poop was smashed, iron stanchions ted, the railing of the ay, the keel of one s broken, the spanker boom was snapped off and went overboard with all its attachments, the storeroom was flooded and many of the supplies were ruined, the sail locker was flooded, all the ship’s signal flags and the cap- tain's binoculars were washed overboard, the forecastle was gutted, and the only Jucky thing about the whole affair is that no one was hurt. After the wave had passed the vessel was fixed up as well as possible and the Horn was finally rounded. From that on the Godiva met with adverse winds, her hard luck following her even to the Gold- en Gate, when she had to stand out to sea again with the pilot aboard. The Crown of Denmark, also from New- castle, England, had a pretty hard time of it also. She caught the Godiva's gale on October 20. A sea swept her from stem to stern and not only started the star- board bulwarks, but stove in the doors of the forward house. The men's quarters were flooded, and the cook, along with his pots and pans, was swept out of the galley. One of the Crown of Denmark's crew was sick with the scurvy when the ¢hip came in. He will be sent to the Marine Hospital. The French barks Cassard and Nor- mandie also had a hard month of it off the Horn. The underwriters were paying 15 per cent to reinsure both of them, so the gamblers were happy when they were reported off the heads. The Cassard was reported off Point Reyes at 2:30 p. m. and d1d not get in until some time after the Normandie; still she beats that vessel over a week_In the run from Swansea.

The venture was in the nature of an experiment, and as it has only been partially successful the proposed line of sailing vessels between | here and the German New Guinea posses- sions may fall through. The brig left here on July 29 last with a green crew and there was trouble as soon as the towboat cast her off outside the heads. There were four men before the mast and out of that number three had never been to sea before in thelr lives. | All of them were fresh from the vine- yards of Sonoma County and were lured into snipping before the mast on the Harriet G on the representation that they were going to “a land flowing with milk and honey,” with dusky princesses to be picked up for the asking. When the order to make sail was given by Captain Way- land, the vineyardists were found in their bunks “dead to the world” from sea | ness. An attempt to get them on their feet was made and failed. Then the first and , the one A. B., and the ad to hoist the sails and sheet ‘them home. All the way down to New Britain there was trouble with the men and once they made a bold attempt to take possession of the ship. When the Harriet G reached her des- | tination the vineyardists from Sonoma | found their “land of milk and honey" to | be all that was to be desired, but the | dusky princesses had a discouraging habit | of eating up men of an alien race who presented themselves as suitors. The Ger- man control only extends about five or six miles along the coast of the islands. | In the interior the natives are pronounced | cannibals, and during the stay of the Harrfet G a German trader named Bucholz was captured and eaten. These facts upset the calculations of the would-be colonists and checked t in- tention to desert. Captain Wayland could get no one else to take their places and much against his will he was obliged | Japanese cook | to bring them back as “sailors” instead of passengers. The voyage was nothing but a succession of storms, and as the three vineyardists were as “‘green” as the day they left San Francisco nearly all the work fell on the first and second mate. Needless to say the trip was not a picnic for the men who could not or would not work, and In consequence there was many a scrap in which the “green” hands got the worst of it. No one on the Harriet G wants to repeat the New Britain voyage. “New Britain possesses the harbor in the world,” sald Captain Way- land yesterday. “There arequite a number of Germans there and the Catholics and Wesleyan Methodists have missions there. E. E. Forysath & Co.and the Ger New Guinea Company own large concessicns and do a large business. A mall steamer calls there from Australia about every two months and a German steamer from Singapore touches there occasionally. The Harrlet G was the first trader that ever went there from San Francisco and I think she will be the last. We have brought back with us about 300 tons of copra, “The interior of New Britain and the Admiralty group are in the hands of the savages and they are a bad lot. While we were there a German trader was mur- dered, and I suppose eaten. “We had nothing but heavy weather coming home, and sometimes I was afraid we might never see San Francisco again. On December 8 we carried away our main boom and for four d. thereafter we were under storm sails. After that we re- paired damages and then it blew another hurricane for three days. The brig rode well, but nevertheless it was a trying time. We had three days of a good fair breeze after that, 'and then to port we had nothing but northeast and southeast gales. We were off Point Reyes last Fri- day, but were driven off shore again. We got a slant to-day and made port all right.” Officer Meredith Operated On. Police Officer Meredith, who shot him- self at his home, 7% Castro street, on Monday night, was operated on at Dr. Howard’s sanitarium yesterday. Thir- teen small pleces of bone were found to have located themselves on his brain, be- sides a small clot of blood. As soon as these were removed the patient felt re- lieved and the paralysis disappeared. The physicians have hopes of his recovery. The charges of intoxication was con- tinued before the Police Commissioners last night. e — In the Divorce Court. Decrees of divorce have been granted Clara D. Henesty from Walter J.

Nearly all the over- due steamers delayed by the southeaster came in and quite a fleet of overdue sailing They found the other fleet that got in Tuesday at anchor off Melggs wharf with their sails out drying after the rain, The bark Nicholas Thayer came in frem Clipperton Island.

Quarantine Officer Kinyoun is more afraid of the rodents carrying the germs of the plague into San Francisco than he is of any of the steer- age passengers who may come here on the vessels. In consequence, a vigilant search for rats goes on aboard the quar- antined craft all the time they are under surveillance. The British ship Montgomeryshire will leave port to-day for England flying two handsome flags that Captain Edwards had presented him in Yokohama for the very smart trip be made from Antwerp to Japan, via Australia. On that occasion the good ship made the record run of 126 days. On his arrival Captain Edwards was given a magnificent silk flag by the | agents of the vessel. It Is the Japanese national flag and has over the top and bottom of the sunburst the words “Ant- | werp-Yokohama.” Worked edges of the sunburst are the words| “Montgomeryshire - Captain Edwards,” while in the center of the sunburst <lr‘ui | the letters and figures “R. 126 D.” A sim- | | llar flag was presented Captain Edwards by his brother ) ons in Yokohama aud to-day he will both of them at the around the | fly foremast head as the ship is towed to sea. The courts will have a nice little case to ‘\ settle In a few days. The question is: *Does the fact that a person is under age debar him from getting a mate's certi- ficate of an ocean-going vessel?” There is no law to that effect, but Secretary | Sherman ruled in 1878 that a minor could | not go as mate of an American vessel and | no one has questioned that decision since, | Now Edward T. Huffman, second mate of | the Fort George, is going to bring the | matter up. Huffman is 19 years old and has been | second mate of the ship for a year. He | is prepared to get a mate’s papers and | went before the inspectors of hulls and | bollers to be examined. Messrs. Bolles and Bulger refused to test his capabilities | on the ground that he was a minor and | ineligible under Secretary Sherman's rul- ing. Huffman is not satisfled with this state of affairs and is going to apply to the courts to compel the inspectors to ex- amine him and grant him the desired cer- tificate. Huffman’'s contention will be that there is no law governing the case and that in the English mercantile marine | a minor can hold a mate’s license. The following graduates of McNevin | Brothers' Navigation School have received licenses from the United States inspectors of hulls and boilers: Masters—P. C.
