The passengers were all landed with their effects soon after the vessel anchored, and soon as the cargo was discharged, the vessel was to have gone on a whaling cruise. Captain B. Cogan was the owner ter of the bark, and with him ptain Lew Williams, formerly of haler Hidalgo, and Captain Green, formerly of the whaler Alexa and Williams re to hav Nome, while Green was to h *haling cruise. ain Tuttle of the reve- r saw the danger of the crew of the whaler he weighed anchor and went to the rescue. It was a most dan- gerous venture, as the slightest mishap would have sent the Bear ashore also, But the crew was taken off and the Bear rode out the gale without any damage. taken the The barkentine Catherine Sudden, that was caught in the ice and d nasted in the same gale, has been towed into Dutch Harbor by the revenue cutter Corwin. She has been severely cru i, but the chances are her cargo will be saved. The ner Senator had a couple of her plates dented by the ice and had to return to Dutch Harbor for repairs. The steam- er Centennial went ashore at Dutsh Har- bor during the gale of June 6, but was got off without damage. The Cleveland arrived at Nome on June 3, sailing nine days later. She was com- . with all the other steamers, to put out to sea till the gale moderated. She reports seeing safe at Nome the Corwin and her tow, the Catherine Sudden, Robert Dollar, Aloha, San Blas, Dora, Alblon, Thrasher and Mary D. Hume. At Dutch Harbor—C. D.

The other vessels not reported are supposed to be beating their way through the ice to Nome. The first vessel to come to San Francisco direct from Nome will be the Alaska Commer- cial Company's Portland, which is due here next Friday or Saturday. Thought He Was Shanghaied. The harbor police were kept busy look- ing for a boiler-maker named Al Lane yesterday., Sergeant Bunner and Officer Ferguson visited the British ship Mara- chel Suchet and the Italian bark Eman- uel Accame, but no traee of him could be found. Lane left his home in Berkeley on Saturday evening and told his family he would be home on the last boat. He vis- ited a number of saloons on the water front and the last seen of him. according to a_story told by Captain Dunleavy at the Harbor station, he was going out on the bay in a rowboat. The only vessels ready for sea are the Suchet and Accame, 0 these vessels were visited by the police, but Lane is still among the missing. Cap- tain Dunleavy does not place the least credence in the shanghal story, but thinks the missing boiler-maker will turn up in the course of a day or two. Yachting Men Quarrel. H. Lester, J. Back and A. Garrett are the ostensible owners of the sloop Her- bena, but they never sail in each other's company any more if possible. There wi a littie difference over money matters and Lester had the best of the argument, hence the trouble. On Sunday last Lester decided to take some of his lady friends out for a sail, and £o Informed his part- ners. The latter agreed, but later decided to take the boat out themselves. Lester smelled a_rat and started across the bay an hour ahead of time, but Back and Gar- rett and three friends were close on his Just as Lester was about to weigh anchor the enemy hove in sight and in a few minutes a free fight was in progress on the deck of the Herbena. The trouble W only_stopped when four of the com- batants fell overboard. Lester gave up the yacht and, wet and angry, returned to the city. The squabble for the pos- session of the yacht will be continued on July 4, but the chances are that it will take the courts to settle the dispute. Water Front Notes. Captain E. R. Wilson, Chief Engineer J. Driscoll and John Stange are just back on the front after three weeks in Lake County. To hear them tell of bear hunts, slaughtering wildcats, kiliing five squir- rels with one shot from a rifle and sup- plying 2 whole Indian village with trout caught in Clear Lake is enough to make the old-time story tellers around Folsom street wharf turn green with envy. The British ship Crown of India arrived from Newcasfle, England, ,\'eslerda?-. On Mareh 28 she was caught in a gale and her_foretop-gallant mast carried away. 'he steamer Newsboy will not come back from Nome until the fall. She has been chartered by the North American Transportation Company and will connect with that company's steamers at St. Mi- chael. e Newshoy will run between St, Michael, Golovin Bay, Cape Nome, Cape York and Port Clarence. The strike on the transport wharf has been settled. The longshoremen have been given 40 cents an hour, the same as other employers are paying.

June 8 (via Seattle, June -26.)—More definite and complete re- ceived concern- opkuk, fifty-five turns have lately been ing the beach strike at 'l miles below Nome. son to doubt that this is one of the great- est strikes ever made in this vicinity and is as important as the strike at Nome it- wert, v Though the discovery at Topkuk is of comparatively recent date many have struck it rich already, and several indi- vidual fortunes, running as high as $25,- 000, have been taken out. Parties of two or three working with ordinary rockers, it {s said, are taking out $1000 a day. One little plat of ground, just about big enough for a good-sized grave, yielded $15,000 worth of the precious metal. It lay just at the edge of the tundra, and the gold was actually among the grass and roots. It is reliably estimated that one stretch of beach 600 feet long by an average of 90 feet in width has elded $475,000 within the past few weeks, Another strike, though of less sensa- tional nature, has been reported at a point on the beach twenty miles south of Nome. At this last-named place and scattered along the beach between Nome and Topkuk over 100 men are now at work. There is little doing at present in this immediate vicinity, and some of the new comers, who expected to pick up nug- gets like shelis on the seashore, are some- what disappointed. Work is ‘proceeding steadily on most of the claims, but there is no excitement just now except over the news of the new strikes. SEATTLE, June 26.—The steamer Cot- tage City arrived here to-day from Skag- uay with $200,000 in dust and drafts and a number of passengers from Dawson. The latter left Dawson June 6 and con- | firm the reports of the finding of voung Relfe's body near Minto. Among the in- terlor passengers are George Avery and John Anderson, who are said to have $50,000 each with them. News of two sudden deaths in the in- | terior is brought down by the steamer. Robert Hall of Victoria, of the Klondike corporation, dropped dead at White Har- bor. Dominick Stofolimo of Pennsyl- vania, a grade foreman, was killed at White Horse by a falling rock. STOCKTON STREET FAR Will Have the Benefit of Low Rates From Bay Cities. A very favorable and practically open exeursion rate has been made by the Southern Pacific to encourage traffic from the ba* cities to Stockton pending the Street Fair in that city. It is $3 for the round trip, and the tickets will be good on all regular trains of July lst, 2d, 34 and 4th, and return may be delayed till July 5th'if desired. On June 30 the same rate will apply, but ot on regular trains. A special rain is to leave San Francisco at § a. m., Oak- land pier at 8:30 and from Stockton, re- turning, at §:25 p. m., getting into the city about midnight. ————— Claims the Law Is Invalid. A case of no smali interest to Justices of the Peace all over the State has been brought before the Supreme Court. Last year the North Pasadena sanitary dis- trict passed an ordinance prohibiting .the sale of intoxicating liquor in the district without a liquor license. H. C. Werner was arrested and convicted for violating the order and was sentenced to imprison- ment. No denial was made that he sold the liquor, but ke denied that the Justice of the Peace had authority or that the al- leged Justice Court has jurisdiction to try such a case. Also that the district was not legally organized under the laws of the State, and, further, that the law un- der which he was charged and convicted is unconstitutional and void. Werner ap- lled to the Supreme Court for a writ of abeas corpus, which was granted and made returnable to-morrow ernoon. b D B e R SRCER SR S There seems no rea- | THE NATIONAL GALLERY, LONDON.

It is of interest to trace the develop- ment of the feeling for landscape in these schools, but that has often been done. The great things in landscape painting—light. air and distance—were discovered by the figure painters; the landscapists, even Constable and the Barbizon men, have only applied these discoveries. “The Boar Hunt” is one of the most modern of landscapes. It is more modern by far than those of Claude, Poussin and the Dutchmen; more modern even than Gainsborough's “Market Cart”; its true lace is with contemporary paintings like Whistler's and Manet's. One great name remains—that of Tur- ner. It is easier to get people to pretend | an ‘admiration—which they < » not feel— for Turner's worst work than to make them appreciate his best. An ldealist with an extraordinary knowledge of nature and an extraordinary contempt for sound | methods in art, his work is often marred by willfulness and cockney bad taste. But in pure ideal landscape no one has yet produced anything to bear comparison with the “Old Temeraire” or_with the “Burial at Sea” of the painter Wilkie—by mingled torchilght and moonlight, with a hantom rock of Gibraltar in the distance. ?1 is to be said, too, that Turner’'s capri- clous playing with light and color has been a stimulus to Claude Monet in his more sclentific and more hopeful re- searches. With Turner and Velasquez we are at the threshold of the modern impression- istic school. In the too brief review which we have made wa have found ourseives obliged to pass over accomplished imita- tors to give our attention to men perhaps at many points thelr inferlors, but who were Innovators and progressive.

By his master, Gio- vanni Bellini, we have the portrait of Doge Loredano; by his fellow-pupil, Titian, the “Bacchus and Ariadne.” The 'exuberance of life in this great painting is very poorly represented in the well-known engravings of it, which, nev- ertheless, give more than can be put into words. Enjoyment of life. but of a quieter | sort, is the main thing embraced in Lotto’s celebrated picture of himself and famil: The motion, pressure and glory of life at- tract us in Tintoretto's lky Way" and Veronese's ~ “Family of Darius Before Alexander,” with its display of splendid costumes and magnificent architecture.

Justice of the Peace Groezinger gave judgment yesterday for $186 and costs in favor of Mrs. Rosetta Fraser, a medical specialist, who sued James Gray of Gray & Barbieri, Washington street commis- ston merchants, for medical services ren- dered. Gra; e defense that he was to pay Mrs. Fraser only on condi- tion that a cure of his malady should be eftected by her. There was produced as evidence, however, a letter from Dr. Smale of Coiorado Hot Springs to the effect that Gray, who suffered from pa- ralysis, was incurable, but that he had been greatly benmefited by Mrs. Fraser's treatment. It was admitted by Gray's wife that she knew he was incurable, but allowed Mrs. Fraser to come every day and treat her husband for two hours. Judge Groezinger heid that the good re- | sults of Mrs. grmr's ministrations were worth the money. —————— Young Men’s Institute.
