It is many a day since a salling vessel came into port in as perfect order alow and aloft as is the Snow & Burgess. ! On January 9 she passed the long-looked- for A. G. Ropes in latitude 32 degrees 18 minutes north, longitude 127 degr 2 minutes west. This vessel left New York for San Francisco 206 days ago and the underwriters were beginning to wonder what had become of her. It was known hat she put into the Falkland Islands with her rudder post twisted, and that she salled again on October 80, but noth- ing was heard from her after that until the Snow & Burgess brought the news of her whereabouts. Captain Olsen of the Snow & Burgess reports that the A. G. Ropes came by the | way of the Cape of Good Hope and Aus- tralla. The two vessels were in company for three days, and when the bark bore down to within hailing distance the first thing Captain Rivers asked was “Who won the yacht race?’ When the answer “Columbia” went back across the waters, | the men on the Ropes gave three cheers and a tiger. As near as Captain Olsen could gather the Ropes was caught off the Horn in the October weather that damaged so many vessels. Captain Riv- ers stated. that when he got into Port Stanley he found twelve disabled vessels there. It was impossible to get any re- pairs made in a hurry, so he fixed up the rudder as well as he could and came on to Port. across the Pacific. The salling of both vessels was cabled on the same day, but the American did not sail until two ddys after the Britisher, so in reality the Snow Burgess beats the Calthness-shire twenty-four hours. The Snow & Burgess has been away from the coast for nearly a year. She loaded lumber, on Puget Sound for South Africa and met with & number of mishaps before reaching Aus- tralia. While in the tropics a sallor named O. Hansen fell overboard. He was a good swimmer and had no trouble in keeping himself afloat. A boat was lowered, but when it was within ten yards of the sailor a shark’s fin appeared on the surface and a few seconds later Hansen was dragged under. A moment later the water showed red and the men in the boat knew that all was over with their comrade. ‘While entering Delagoa Bay the Snow & Burgess struck heavily on the bar. Bhe was deeply laden and the captain of the tug that had her in tow made a mis- calculation. In consequence nearly all the c(fvfper on the vessel's bottom was scraped off and she was stralned a good deal. After discharging she went to Sydney, N. 8. W., in ballast, and on arriving there went on the drydock for repairs. After recelving a thorough overhauling she weng to Newcastle, N. 8. W., and loaded coal for San Francisco. The Pacific Mail Company's steamer Peru arrived from Panama and way ports yesterday. She brought seven cabla, twenty-one steerage and three Chinese passengers. The City of Para salled for Mexican and Central American ports yesterday. Among the passengers were Dan M. Burns, wife and daughter.

GLADIATORS OF TRADE ORDERED T0 MAKE READY Struggle Is Now Near Beginning. | | | COMMISSIONERS GIVE NOTICE PRIZE IS THE COMMERCE OF THE PACIFIC STATES. TEa L Battle Will Commence in Los Angeles in March and Conflict Will Then Extend From South to Puget Sound. g At last the long expected communica- tion has been received in this city fixing definitely a date for the beginning of the hearing before the Interstate Commerce Commission of the witnesses and counsel for the Pacific Coast Jobbers and Manu- facturers’ Assoclation. The Commission- ers will be in Los Angeles March 27 and in San Francisco April 2. At Los Angeles the matter of routing freight will be taken up, and then a part of the testimony in behalf of the jobbers and manufacturers may be heard. If so, that will do away with the mecessity for the coming of wit- nesses from the southern part of the State to this city. It is now thought probable that the Commissioners will also go to Portland, where the Portland, Seattle and Tacoma manufacturers and jobbers may testify. Possibly only the San Francisco and Sac- ramento witnesses will be heard in this city and the proceedings thereby be short- ened. Still, the jobbers think the session in Francisco will last about a fort- night, for the details are many and there are representatives of all the leading lines to be heard and also the lawyers from St. g Louts. A vast amount of work has been per- formed to get the case ready for hearing. The testimony will deal with several in teresting phases of the question of differ- entials. An investigation has shown that the differentials amount to only about one per cent on the value of the goods shipped from the East to Ban Francisco, so the plea of St. Louis jobbers that the differ- entials prevent them from doing business on the Pacific Coast is without basis In fact. Another fact of great importance has been developed. The distance from New York_to St. Louis is about one-third of the distance to San Francisco. Conse- quently the differentials to San Fyancisco and all other Pacific Coast points ought to be three times as large as the St. Louls differential, upon a mileage basis, or much larger than the Pacific Coast differ- ential now existing. There will probably be between fifty and sixty witnesses to testify in this city, and quite a number in Portland and Los Angeles. No_hearing in late yvears has such ma- terial interest for the people of the coast. If the graded rates that the St. Louis jobbersask for are put into effect, and the differential based on water competition is pretty near taking away all the territory for business purposes that the Pacific Coast jobbers and manufacturers now have. —— Winnemucca Tribe Will Dance. Winnemucca Tribe No. 61 of the Im- proved Order of Red Men has secured the social hall of the Red Men's Wigwam on Post street, for next Saturday night for the purposé of giving therein an invita- tional al and dance to its members and their lady relatives and friends.

EARLIEST MAIL FOR CAPE NOME DISTRICT Letters Posted in San Francisco by the 22d Inst. Will Reach Nome About May 15. The Postoffice Department has made ar- rangements with Edwin Engelstad of St. Michael, Alaska, to carry not exceeding 300 pounds of letter mail overland froma Katmal, on Shelikof Strait, opposite Ka- diak Island, via Nulh;{lk, at the head of Bristol Bay, to St. ichael and Nome, Alaska. From Nushagak the carrier wili take what is known as the Kuskokwin River route, crotsing the Yukon River at a point about fifty miles west of Koseref- sky, thence overland to St. Michael. From St. Michael to Nome the carrer will pro- ceed by land to Norton Bay, crossing on the ice to Golovin Bay, thence by land to Nome. Engelstad wiil leave Seattle February 24 on the steamer Cottage City for Jitka, and will leave Sitka about March 1 ou the mail steamer of the Pacific Steam Whal- ing Company, due to arrive at Katmai about March 15. He expects to reach St. Michael about April 25 and Nome not later than May 15, or about a month in advance of the arrival of the first steamer from San Francisco or Seattle. The last possible connection from Francisco for mail for St, Michael and Nome over this route, via Katmai and the Kuskokwin River, will be the Portland train leaving San Francisco at 8:06 p. m. m?l 22d.

Consul General Ho Yow Fathers a Movement Which Will Lessen Suffering Among His People. For the first time in the history of San | Francisco a free medical dispensary will | be opened in Chinatown. The movement ! to ald the sick and poor Chinese was | started by Consul General Ho Yow and | contributed $1500 of his own money to defray the initial expenses | of the institution. The necessity of a place where poor | Chinese might receive humane treatment after disease had begun to gnaw at their vitals became obvious when the horrible and revolting exposure of the ‘‘Chambers of Tranquillity” was made by the police. It was discovered that when the friend- less Chinese became infirm or unable to | work he was treated as an outcast and a | burden upon his people and promptly con- | signed to an undertaker's bunk, where he | passed away from earth a short time | afterward and was quickly buried. No medical treatment whatever was accord- ed him and it was strongly suspected that foreign agents were often employed to assist disease In its destruction of life. Eight prominent physicians of the city have promised their assistance in con- | ducting the new hospital, which will open on Sacramento street next week, and prominent Chinese merchants will sub- £cribe medicines, which will be given to the needy free of charge. The idea is a new one among the Chinese, but they have welcomed it gladly and believe that it will | | lessen @ great deal of the misery and suf- | fering which have heretofore existed in | the Chinese quarter. |PROHIBITS THE SALE OF CONDEMNED MEAT | Board of Health to Stop Auction of Quartermaster’s Supplies—Dis- ease Breeding Pools South of Holly Park. At a meeting of the Board of Health last night there was considerable discus- | sion over the possible danger to the health | of the community that might result from the proposed sale of condemned quarter- master’s supplies by the military author- | ities, advertised to take place Tuesday and Thursday of this week. The first batch of supplies consists of a number of thousand pounds of condemned pork, ba- con and canned beef. The other lot con- | sists of tents, bedding and general camp | equippage. Dr. McCarthy declared that it was the duty of the board to prohibit the sale of | the condemned meat and to compel the | thorough_disinfection of the tents and | bedding before allowing the auction to | take piace. Health Ofticer O'Brien was | instructed to see that this was done if | after an Investigation he should deem | such measures necessary. The health officer was instructed to cail the attention of the Board of Public Werks to the unsanitary eondition of the istrict south of Holly Park, bounded by ! | ner and discussion in the evening. | There will be many articles of special | interest for exhibition, and interesting | cases brought forward for consultation. | The dinner will be at the Poodle Dog | restaurant at 6:30 p. m. under the direction | of the San Francisco Academy of Dental | Selence.

There was a short session yesterday forenoon at the British Consul's office in the investigation into the condition of the transport Manauense. Chief Engineer McDonald completed his testimony. He was asked as to the circumstarces under which he had signed an affidavit before Notary James M. Ellis on Febru- ary 5. His answer was that he had be- come so much attached to the ship that he thought she was doing all right. One of the owners had requested him, he said, to put the matter in as fiood a light ‘as he could, but what he had stated in the af- fldavit was what he believed at the tima. Attorney H. W. Hutton offered to prove that the vessel was owned by the Western Commercial Company, which, he contend- ed, was a California corporation, but ob- jection was made, and the Consul declined to go into that matter. The record would be the best evidence on that poini, he said. Mr. Hutton then introduced the purser's record to show that during :he erfod in which it was charged that Mc- Bnnlld was drunk he had bought no ilquor for the period of six days except one pint of beer.

JAMES B. STETSON AND MRS. DOE ARE MARRIED Ceremony Quietly Performed in the Presby- terian Church at Mackenzie o Pasadena by Dr. f This City. Special Dispatch to The Call PASADENA, Feb. 19.—James B. Stet- son and Mrs. Eleanor H. Doe, who have been sojourning In Los Angeles for some time, were quietly married at noon to- day in the Presbyterian Church by Rev. Dr. Robert Mackenzie of San Francisco. James B. Stetson is president of the North Pacific Rallway and the California Street Cable Car Company, and a mem- ber of the big firm of Holbrook, Merrill & Stetson. Mrs. Eleanor H. Doe {s the widow of the millionaire lumberman John S. Doe. Rey. Dr. Mackenzie of the First Presby- terian Church accompanied the couple to the charming southern town and there made them man and wife. None of the members of Mr. Stetson's family wit- nessed the ceremony. The bride was ac- companied ba’ her only child, a daughter, ten years old. Although the announcement of the wed- ding of the millionaire and the charming | widow came somewhat as a surprise, it was not altogether unexpected. For more than two years rumors of the engagement have been current, and with just the same persistency as they regularly cropped up were they regularly denfed by Stet- son’s family. Announcement of the marriage yester- day was made by Mrs. Robert Oxnard, a daughter of Mr. Stetson. “We knew that my father was to be married to-day,” she sald. “‘He and his bride will return here to their home, 1801 Van Ness avenue, to live.. Before they do, however, they will visit New Orleans, make a tour of Flor- ida and spend a short time In New York.” ' Mr. Stetson has three children, two daughters, Mrs. Robert Oxnard and Mrs. Chauncey Winslow, and one son, Harry Stetson. The lady who yesterday became Mrs. Stetson, although well and prominently known here, has lived a very retired life. She is extremely wealthy and_ quite a number of years younger than Mr. Stet- son. Since the death of Mr. Doe she spent several years abroad, and after her return and up to the present time she has made her home at 2489 Jackson street. The bride of J. B. Stetson is fully twen- ty-five years his junior. She is slender, below medium stature and decidedly en- gaging in her looks, manners and conver- sation. She is about 37 years of age. The estate of J. 8. Doe, of which she and her daughter are the heirs, is quite extensive.

The Doe adopted. The ileglsrrar was authorized brothers, Bartlett and J. 8., were largely interested in prosperous corporations out- side of the lumber trade. It is common gossip that the bride of Mr. J. B. Stetson s much richer in this world's goods than he is. Her holdings, however, so exten- sive and valuable, may require the per- sonal supervision of a trained and meth- odical man of business affairs. The bride is a lady of sufficient attraction, personal and intellectual, to win the comradeship of a good man even if she did not possess the prestige of wealth. J. B. Stetson, while advanced in years, has not attained the allotted span of three score and ten, but is not many laps short of it. He rendered the city of San Fran- cisco most excellent service as chairman of the Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors from 1579 until 1881 honors had possessed fcr him specal at- traction ke could easily have secured the sition of Mayor of San Francisco. Had e permitted the use of his name as a candidate for higher honors than Mayor he might have secured from the Republi- can State Convention that nominated H. H. Markham the romination for Gover- nor of California. Mr. Stetson is a_mem- mer of the Pacific Union Club, and at a little dinner party three weeks ago made the announcement of his intended mar- riage to Mrs. Doe. Mr. Stetson is not a club man in the common acceptation of the term. On the contrary, tremely fond of the comforts of a home. Once at the Bohemian Club he loitered until 3 o'clock, enjoying the mild revels of a jinks. It was an unusually late hour for him. When he was about to get into bed a few minutes after 3 o'clock there came a sharp shock of earthquake. This tremor of the earth was accepted in the household as a protest of nature against late hours and hlfih jinks for Mr. Stet- son. The earth did not quake on the oc- casion of the wedding at Pasadena. In business life Mr. Stetson is a hard, earnest worker. istics of economy from his New England ancestry and environment, and these traits have not departed from him. SOCIETY STAMPS | THE BAL MASOUE 1S "ALL RIGHT" An Active Request for Invitations. The demand for tickets clearly indicates that the forthcoming Mardi Gras ball, un- der the auspices of the San Francisco Art Assocfation, will be highly successful. Let- ters received at the Mark Hopkins Insti- tute of Art yesterday contained many ap- plications for tickets of admission. When a ticket is issued the name of the lady or gentieman to whom it is given is entered on a book. Reference to the book shows leaders of local soclety are already largely represented in the field The officers of the asso- ciation frankly assert that soclety has given its unqualified approval of the bal masque, and the names appearing on the register of 150 issued tickets corroborates The experience of the Art Assoclation of San Francisco In the field of ball-giving has been varied, if not vast. The first daneing function of the association was given at the old rooms on Pine street dur- ing the administration of Daniel Cook. This initial entertainment was not a Mardi Gras event, but simply an artistic ball to which society was invited. The management, however, resolved that beau- | tiful decoration should be one of the fca- tures to delight the assembled dancers, | and accordingly Virgil Williams, Jules | Tavernier and M. Garibaldi, artists of re- nown, were appointed to devise and exe- cute the scheme of decoration. The pall Was appointed to take place on a Tuesday evening. It came to the knowledge of the decorating committee on the Sunday cven- ing immediately preceding the event that not a single stroke of work had been done in the decorating line, and not the serab- Jance of a scheme of adornment for the occasion had been suggested. When the committee was sought it was found that Virgil Willlams had gone to his ranch on Mount St. Helena, Tavernier was too bus- ily engaged in his work to be disturbed and Garibaldi had vanished. The whoie responsibility at once devolved on J. R Martin, assistant secretary of the assoct tion. Dan Cook, president of the associa- tion, an energetic and liberal man, toll Martin to go ahead and decorate. Sig.a painters, scenic artists and carpenters were employed. Martin had authority from Dan Cook to buy anything needed. The work began Monday morning and was not completed a minute before the first carriage arrived Tuesday night. The ball was a great success from an artistic point of view, but the receipts fell $400 short of the expenses. A check to cover the de- ficlency was promptly given by President Cook, hence the association emerged tri- umphant from the ordeal. The Mardi Gras ball to be given on the 27th inst. will be the seventh in the his- tory of the association. The first was iven at the old rooms on Pine street. 50!eph D. Redding was then president. The function was a pronounced success. Bociety bestowed its sweetest smile on the scheme. The decorations were beautiful to behold and the company was delight- ful to entertain. Dowagers resplendent in diamonds added splendor to the occasion. The association gained money and fame by the function. The second Mardl Gras ball was given at the Grand Opera House, but the dow- agers were shy of the publicity and did not give the affalr the open commenda- tion which was bestowed on the ball at the rooms of the assocfation. Tickets were placed at $10 each. In a financial sense the event was successful, but soci- ety was not charmed or captivated. The next function of the kind was given at 0dd Fellows' Hall, and the result con- vinced the managers of the association that the plan of hirin outside halls should be abandoned. Three successful Mardi Gras events have taken place at the Mark Hopkins Institute of Art. The forthcoming ball will be the second under the administration of President Joseph D. rant. GThe work of decoration and equipment for the next event is %olnl forward speed- ily at the mansion of the association on the hill.
