IR | Steamer San Pedro Leaves With Many More Passengers for Nome. Three Hundred Japanese Ar- rive From Sound Ports. atiies The mall steamer Alameda sailed last night for Australasia with about elghty cabin and fifty steerage passengers. She was a day late in getting away owing to the fact that the English mail was twenty-four hours late in reaching New York. Among the cabin passengers were nearly all the members of the Southwell Opera Company. They are going to Ho- nolulu for a season and the many friends whom they made during their stay in San Francisco were down to see them off. Nearly everybody carried flowers and it was the gayest scene in consequence that has been witnessed on the Oceanic dock in many a day Another passenger on the Alameda was Charles Astor Parker, business manager of the James Neill Company. He goes to Honolulu to arrange a season for that or- ganization, the members of which will follow on the steamer Mariposa, which leaves here mext month. F. H. McCor- mack, general freight agent of the Chi- cago and Rock Island route, and Captain A. L. Soule were also passengers. Cap- tain Soule was formerly master of the bark Martha Davis, but left her to settle | in Honolulu. He has just completed a visit to his old home {n Boston and is taking his brother back to the islands with him. New Class of Whaleback.

Loaded she looks like a | house submerged to within a few feet of the eaves, but standing high in the water she appears something like a steamer. | What the Universe lacks in appearance, | however, she makes Wp in economy and capacity. ~She carries 4000 tons dead weight and makes from 216 to 220 knots on a consumption of fourteen tons of Cardiff a carrier of black diamonds she requires no trimmes as owing to the pe- cullar construction of the vessel the cargo trims itself. She requires a very small crew to hAndle her and, all in all, she is the most economic craft on the coast to- day. The Universe s the second vessel of the class ever. built. The first one was the TUnique. She proved such a success that the Universe was built under the supervi. sion of Captain H. H. Egene: her pres- ent commander. She pleted in 1898 and is now on her fi age to the Pacific Coast. Roed & Mc! of Glas- gow are the managing own Oft for the Gold Fields. The new steamer San Pedro sailed for Nome via Dutch Harbor yesterday after- noon with about 250 gold hunters. " Nearly a thousand people were down to see the vessel off a there were some lively times on Vallejo-street wharf while pas- sengers and crew were awaiting the ad- vent of Captain Zaddart. Among those who went away the vessel was Lloyd Eaton. A big crowd of Lloyd's cricketing friends were down to see him away. E. O. Tuttle, ex-Deputy Collector of Cus- toms; Bob Monroe, formerly chief engi- neer of the Alice; ex-Sherift McKillican of Alameda and Joe Marshall were also among the passengers. Marshall goes north to start a dance hall and a number of girls were in his train. e next vessels to depart will be the San Blas to-day and the Zealandia Mon- day. The latter vessel will take over 700 passengers. Catch of the Sealing Fleet. The latest report from the sealing fleet shows that the schooners have all done well so far.

Bunker & Co., agents of the schooner Vide, do not credit the report of the vessel's wreck on the Washington coast, claiming that her course for Cape Nome would not take the schooner near the point at which she was reported to have been lost. The agents say they have no information concerning a wreck. ‘Water Front Notes. The steamer Walla Walla, which ar- rived from Puget Sound ports yesterday, brought down over 300 Japanese.

Bell has filed a petition asking that her mother, Theresa Bell, widow of the late Thomas Bell, be ordered to ap- pear and show cause why she should not pay for the support of her three minor children, Robina, Eustace and Murlel, and also pay several bills which have accrued for their maintenance. In her petition Miss Bell alleges that some months ago Mrs. Bell abandoned her children and that since that time they have been dependent on the petitioner for their support. Bills for clothing, dentistry, shoes and board and lodging at Mrs. M. Alexandre's, 162 Buchanan street, have been gald by her, and others have accumulated. Bhe says that the mother of the children should support them, and she asks for an order compelling her to do so. TU. S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

Elorduy, who figures In a morning | newspaper story as attempting to lure Josie Davis, a Tivoli chorus girl, from her happy home, they can find him day or night at his residence, 49 Third street. Despite much journalistic hullabaloo the young man declares he has yet to discover evidence of policemen’s tracks and the de- tectives are equally ignorant of any de- ga.nd for Elorduy’s presence at the City all. chorus girls' quiet desires to afford the police or any one else who cares to find him every facility, as he has nothing to conceal or to befog concerning his deal- ings with the members of the Tivoll | chorus or the attaches of the theater. Elorduy has a foreign accent, Paris-made garments, sports some big diamonds, gets money from home and for several months has been a conspicuous occupa the Tivoll’ Opera-house. “I didn’t think it wrong to go as often as I pleased,” saild Elorduy last night. “Sometimes the musicians and the play- ers would smile at me. I first noticed Miss Davis about four weeks ago and thought there was no harm in sending flowers and invitations to her after she had appeared to reciprocate my smiles. I wrote many notes to her, but received no answer. The reason I got her ad- dress was theater mighf not be the proper place to meet her in the event she should de- gire to become acquainted with me. I never represented myself as the son of any consul or_any count. I speak Rus- sian, French, English and Spanish and I don't care whether I was considered a native of any one of the countries where those tongues are spoken. “My father is a wealthy officlal of Mexico and I receive remittances from him. I came to San Francisco to study at the Union Iron Works, but now I am tutor to a private family. The reason I used names other than my own was to protect my family name. I used the name of ‘Derby’ to reserve seats at the theater because it was easy, and the ticket sellers used to introduce me by that name. I am not a criminal, nor have I committed any crime in trying to make the acquaintance of Miss Davis. I am not hiding from the police or any one else. 1 regret that my actions should have caused Miss Davis any mental distress. “If it be criminal for a theater’s patrons to smile upon an attractive young woman on the stage I fear the prisons would fill very rapidly U. S. ATTORNEY COOMBS - STOPS A NATIVE SON His Cross-Examination Tangles the Chinese Witnesses and Exposes Perjury. United States District Attorney Frank L. Coombs is beginning to devote consid- erable attention to alleged native-born cases of Chinese immigrants seeking to enter this country. Mr. Coombs appeared for the Government yesterday morning before United States Court Commissioner Heacock in the habeas corpus‘froceedlng; of Yee Kock Leung. Yee told a straight story and was corroborated by one Chi- nese witness. Mr. Coombs cross-exam- ined the second Chinese witness so rigor- ously that the Mongolian tangled himself hopelessly in the meshes of his own false- hoods and showed that the witness was one of a conspiracy to land Yee by means of perjury.

Landscapes, after all, form the steady | dlet of the amateur photographer, and it must be sald that In this branch of the art the amateur is ahead of the profes- sional. But it must not be supposed for one moment that all amateurs make bet- | ter landscape pictures than do profession- | fine work, and there is nothing to prevent | the many succeeding as well as do the | few. Tt is all a matter of brains. The | vast majority, however, are too lazy in- | tellectually, as I sald before, and they jog along, exposing hundreds of plates, hoping some day by accident to get at least one fine picture. But accldents of that kind | philosophical friends Insists that it always takes three conditions to make an accl- dent, but I think an accidentally good landscape photograph would be the out- come of at least four if not half a dozen. There must needs be a good composition, | spot at the right moment, posure, proper development and a first- rate print on suitable paper. Mathemati- cal readers who are posted on the laws of combinations and the good of humanity figure out how often in an average amateur's lifetime the con- fine plcture—by accident.

Figure 1 illustrates a lo but it degends for more than half its ef fect on the white on the head and back of the figure in the foreground. This can easily be proved by placing one finger on the white mass and at once the “life” of the picture is gone. The second point fs an analysis of the material to see what it consists of. Earth, trees, water, sky—these ars tne possiDie and always present constituents, and no landscape picture s ever really satisfac- tory if one or more be wanting. 1 think it is due to the fact that earth represents the most stable condition we know in this world—the eternal hilis idea—while water represents the _unstable—-unstable as water, thou shalt not excel”—and in be- tween we have the vegetation. Clouds are not of the earth: they are above it literally and matuphoflelu(y. and they represent the moods of our feelings from era 4 gay. oy e far as possible, get water and clouds in your pictures; esfi- clally get water, clouds if you can. e next point that demands attention Is the composition.
