The men are from all commands and all branches of the service, They represent the dark side of the Philippine question, where there is no shouting, no cheering and none of the wild enthusiasm of a returning regiment, and when they land, instead of a welcome home, they will silently scat- ter to the hospital, the prison or the grave.

Notable Deaths [ | |DEATH OF AN ARGONAUT | WHO WAS A MILLIONAIRE Francis 8. Wensinger, a ploneer of 1849 |and a man who has been identified with the commercial progress of this city from its very iInfancy, died in his apartments at the Occidental Hotel at 8:30 o'clock yesterday morning. Deceased had been sick for some time past, but the direct cause of his death was paralysis of the { heart, superinduced by rheumatism, from | which disease he had been a sufferer for | a long tim Mr. Wensinger was a very wealthy man, | his fortune being estimated at from one | million upward. As far back as the early fifties good luck came to him. He com- menced amassing money then, and every- | thing he touched from that time to the day of his death turned out well and paid him a golden return for the energy and business acumen he put into it. He was for a long time one of the heaviest stock- | nolders in_the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, but eventually sold out his in- terests to Goodall & Perkins. Mr. Wensinger was so one of the founders of the First National Bank of this city and a director in numerous other lurge business concerns. He owns many valuable pieces of city real estate, and was silent partner in the real estate firm of J. J. O'Farrell & Co. O'Farrell was his nephew, and repaid his uncle’s kind- ness in setting him up in business by skipping out of the city with all the | money he coula lay his hands on. Mr. J‘\\'tnslnger settled all of shortages dollar for dolla | The dead inan was one of the leadin | Catholics of the city and enjoyed the full confidence of the prelates and priests of | that church. He was very devout and | charitable. and the different Catholic churches of this city are indebted to him | for many gererous gifts. | Deceased was about 75 years of age. He |left a widow, but no children. As yvet no arrangements have been made for the | funeral, but in all likelibood it will take {place from one of the prominent Catholic | churches of the city. | “Mr. Wensinger's home was at Freestone, | Sonoma County, where he had a magnifi- | gent country glace, which was his pride. Attached to the place was a dairy, the erfecting of which was the hobby of the ead millionaire and which he succeeded | in making the finest institution of its kina in the State. About a month ago he came | down to the city, accompanied by his wife. They took apartments at the Occidental, where Mr. Wensinger was stricken with | the fllness which resulted in his death. —_————— WIFE OF A PIONEER PASSES QUIETLY AWAY Lis nephew's Mrs. Mary Augusta Burdell, wife of Dr. Galen Burdell, an old resident of Marin County and a piloneer of San Francisco, died yesterday in this city. Mrs. Burdell was a native Californian and was the only daughter of the late James Black, pioneer of the State of Cali- | fornia. She was married to Dr. Galen | Burdell in the year 182 and resided with her husband at Burdells Station, Marin County, except when absent from the State. Her_husband and two children, one a son, James B. Burdell of Mari; | and’ a ‘daugnter Mabel, ‘married. S““c“u',’{: | tain John M. Coleman, also residents of | Marin County, survive her. Her loss will be deeply feit and much deplored by nu- merous friends here and in all parts of the world she had visited in her travels. ——— Death of a Wealthy Woman. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN RAFAEL, Jan. 24.—The news reached here this afternoon of the death of Mrs. Auguste Burdell in San Fran- cisco. ~Mrs. Burdell was one of the county's earliest settlers, and leaves an estate valued at $1,000,000. THIS CITY'S TEA TRADE MENACED BY FALSE TESTS New York Experts Are Discriminating. ‘When Tea aminer Cornzlius Toohey and Charles B. Platt, tea expert, file their repont with the Secratary ofthsimmantyy ! a State quarantine launch and for several next week there will be a great commo- tion in mercantile circles. The gentlemen named are engaged in examining samples of tea admitted at the port of New York by the United States tlea expert at that piace as being up to the Government standard and entitled to admission. It is understood that the re- sult of their investigations thus far has been the disCovery that certain brands passed upon by the New York expert as up with the requirements of the Govern- ment standard are far short of the mark in quality and only equal to tea that has been rejected at this port. Sixty per cent of all the tea imported in- to the United States enters through the port of New York. If it is admitted at that port of an inferior grade to that ad- mitted at San Francisco the inevitable re- sult will be that the remaining 40 per cent of this trade will go to New York also. The merchants of this city interested in this trafic have taken steps to prevent this calamity. In order that the non-tech- nical part of the public may understand the case a historical reminiscence is nec- essary. Up to a few years ago tea was admitted to this country without reference to qual- ity and duty free. Then a tax of 10 cents a pound was levied, irrespective of qual- ity, but under the regulation that all of the commodity falling to reach a certain standard should be denied admission and should be destroyed or sent out of the country. Tea examiners were appointed under civil service regulations at San Francisco, Tacoma, Seattle, New York and others ports of entry. After the new regulation had been in effect a few months it was found that tea of a quality inferfor to that prescribed by | the Government standard was being ad- mitted at Tacoma and Seattle, while tea Just as good was refused at San Fran- cisco. Home importers protested loudly against this discrimination threatening an important element of the commerce of California, and sent their protest to Washington. They advised that a disin- terested person should be appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury to examine and pass upon all samples submitted from ports of entry in the United States, so that uniformity might be assured and im- proper discrimination avoided. "Among the requests submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury was one from the expert at New York volunteering to examine all samples sent from other ports. He was thereupon authorized to Ho so. This arrangement was deemed to be one-sided and in favor of the Eastern seaport, and a cry of disapproval went | up from San Francisco. New York Was to pass upon San Francisco’s Oolong | and English Breakfast why should not San Francisco pass upon New York's im- portation of the same goods? The protest seemed reasonable to the department and the tea officials at this port were vested with the power to ex- amine and pass upon the goods admitted o the Eastern port. The examination of the first batch of Eastern samples is nearly completed and enough has been | found to show that the Eastern tea ex- pert was more lenlent toward the East than toward the West. The discovery has created somewhat of a sensation in commercial circles here and when the report in all its fullness is made public the wires between this city and Washington will be hot for a while. Tea Lxpert Platt and Examiner Toohey declined yesterday to say anything for publication with Tegard to the matter, explaining thelr reticence by anying that their work was not yet completed and that thelr first report would be made to the Treasury Department. Duplicates of the tea samples sent from New York to the expert and the examiner here were forwarded to certain business Thén in this city who caused examinations to be made with the result, as already stated, that tea that would not be accept- S4'at this port is admitted at New York. o ANTI-PLAGUE PRECAUTIONS. TUnited States Surgeon General Ap- plies Them to the Port of San Francisco. In view of the existence of the bubonic plague in Honolulu and Asiatic ports the supervising surgeon gencral of the Marine Hospital Service of the United States has issued a circular letter to Collectors of the Port making them acquainted with the additional quarantine regulations adopted by the service. The new rules are very stringent with rlclgard to the inspection, detention and ful rfallon of baggage and cargo of vessels arriving from a suspected or_infected port. For instance, passengers shall not be vaccinated at or en route from ports or places infected with plague, such vaccl- hation being held to increase the liability of plague infection, and by inducing fever and swollen glands tends to confuse the diagnosis at the port of arrival. This operation must be performed at the port ot arrival and just prior to release from quarantine. Mammalian monkeys, mice, etc. animals, such as dogs, cats, Shall not be shinged !ron} a_plague-infect r place. “"he mew rules were put into effect at this port yesterday. or suspected port INCOMING SHIPS SIGHT WRECKAGE OFF THE COAST Some Vessel Has Lost Her Deckload. DEEPWATER CRAFT ARRIVE e INVERSNAID MAKES VALPA- RAISO IN DISTRESS. e Another fleet of coasters and deep- | water ships made port yesterday. Two | of them report passing wreckage, and | shipping men are wondering i any of the | locally owned vessels has met with dis- | aster. On January 13, when about 1300 | miles east of the Japanese coast, the | transport City of Peking passed what | looked like the mainmast of a fore and | aft schooner. This was in latitude 33 43 | north, longitude 165 48 east, at 5:20 p. m l The wreckage was new, and as it was blowing hard at the time some vessel | bound this way has evidently met with a mishap. | On January 22, when about thirty miles | west-southwest of the Farallones, the British ship Samoena passed what looked like the deckload of a lumber vessel and | a considerable quantity of wreckage. Sev- | eral of the lumber fleet are making long | trips from the Sound, and it may be one of them that has met with a mishap. Among the fleet that got in yesterday were the British ships Merioneth, Sa- moena and Cromdale and the transport City of Peking. The Merioneth was 132 | days from Swansea, the Samoena 139 days from Antwerp and the Cromdale 147 days from Liverpool. This about clears up the list of vessels about due, so the pilots will have a rest for a week or so. Owing to the heavy weather that has prevailed | for the past fortnight all of them have | had a particularly trying time of it, so the prospect of a calm after the rush is hailed with delight. The British bark Inversnaid, which left here on November 11 last with 52,757 cent- als of wheat, valued at §54,100, 1S playing | in hard luck.

The overdue British ship Reliance has | been heard from again. On January 21, in latitude 36 06 north, longitude 133 24 west, she was spoken, and Captaln Robinson signaled “'All weil.” The Harbor Commissioners held their usual weekly meeting yesterday. The Fire Commissioners sent a communication | stating that there were not enough fresh | water fire plugs on the front. It was pointed out that it was impossible to | reach the end of many of the wharves, and the city’'s apparatus was endangered | by having to go under the sheds. The fire at section 1 of the seawall was quoted as an Instance in point. The matter was | referred to the chief engineer, and the extra fire plugs will be put in as speedily as possible. | Georfif A. Knight, on behalf of the State Board of Health, wrote the com- missfon offering it the State quarantine | tug Governor Perkins. Since the Federal authorities have assumed control of quar- | antine matters there is no more use for months there has been nothing for the Governor Perkins to do. Captain Brown, superintendent of the State tugs and dredgers, and Captain McGowan of the Guarantine launch, will hold a conference and if the boat can be used on the front ;xhe Harbor Commissioners will accept | er.

P. F. Dundon offered to do the Job for $540 and secured the contract. The Golden State and Miners’ Iron Works | asked $996 on the same specifications. The officers and men of the State fire | tug took possession of their new quarters | yesterday. Owing to the changes in the approaches to the ferry slips the old building has to be removed, so new quar- | ters were provided for Captain Brown and | his men _over the Harbor Commissioners’ store. There is a commodious sleeping- room for the men on watch and a loung- ing-room that has no equal on the front. Captain Brown, superintendent of the | tugs and dredgers, has a splendid room which commands a view of East street north and south, Misslon street and al- most the entire bay. The old building, | which the fire boat men have vacated, will | be erected at the Folsom street landing as a boathouse for Henry Peterson. At that point it will be of the greatest bene- fit to the general public, as Peterson's present quarters are always overtaxed by people awaiting the coming and going of | the men-of-war and revenue _cutter launches and boats from the transports | and other vessels in the stream.

TRIBUTE TO THE ARGONAUTS EiEl R 8 HYMNS SUNG THAT WERE SUNG FIFTY YEARS AGO. slnauas s The second day's session of the Epis- copal Convention at Trinity Church opened yesterday with a service com- memorative of the fifticth anniversary of the first Episcopal service on the Pa- cific Coast. The chancel of the sacred edifice was decorated tastefully with pine boughs, symbolic of the virgin wil- derness In which half a century ago the little band of churchmen gathered to worship the Christ whose gospel tidings | they carried to the ploneers. The choir sang “From Greenland's Icy Mountal | and “‘Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah, two hymns sung at that first historic gathering. In addition an offertory In introducing Corneliu: who delivered an address dealing main- ly with these early scenes, Bishop Nich- ols pald an eloquent tribute to the p: triarch of the church in the followWing words: “With love and reverence we turn to- day to him who, of all those present V.

He told of th lishment of Trinity Church in a_litt wooden shed and of the first Thanksgi ing and Christmas services held by the few of whom he now Mr. Gibbs protested against the ing opinfon that the forty- horde of rough adventurers, ve had and_depre- cated the statement of a belief which he had once heard pronounced from the pu it of a church in this city, “that it would e well when the last ploneer was in his coffin.” In language trembling with emo- tion, the venerable whether search should be made in the of the foot- hills, where glistened the goiden nuggets in the streams, one could not fail to find abundant and incontrovertible that religious worship was a pronounced feature of social life The afternoon session of the convention was largely taken up with a discussion of the salary of the archdeacon and the election of officers. After lengthy con- sideration of the salary problem, it was decided by a large majority that the archdeacon be paid $1500 annually, which sum should be set aside by the board of missions, and be met by voluntary con tribution. The following were selected to serve for the ensuing year: Delegates to _missionary councils—Clerical member, Rev. John A ery; lay membe Colonel ' J. V. D. Middleton; registrar, Rev.

By unanimous vote it was decided to have Bishop Nichols’ sermon of Tuesday print- ed for distribution on account of its his- torical value. A. N. Drown was reap- pointed chancellor of the diocese by the Bishop and thanked for his labors in the past. Bishop Nichols was empowered to ap- point a committee to make necessary ar- | rangements for the appointment of com mittees to handle intelligently arrange- | ments for the big convention to be held in October, 1901, three members of which will be the Bishops of San Francisce, Los Angeles and Sacramento. It was decided to hold the next annual convention in Grace Episcopal Church, after which an adjournment was taken to 9:3) o'clock this morning. In the evening the visiting delegates were tendered a reception by Bishop and Mrs. Nichols at the Occidental Hotel. The had been beautifully decorated and a string orchestra lent the soft charms of sweet music to the occasion. Among the guests were to be seen near- 1y every prominent Episcopal divine in the State and while there were any number of the cloth present to do honor to their superior, the laity was well represented by more than 100 of California’s most prominent men and most beautiful wo- en.
