SIR EDWIN ARNOLD’S SON AGAIN ARRAIGNED Depositions From England Are Ready | for Submission, but Counsel | Secured a Stay. Julian Biddulph Arnold, son of Sir Ed- win Arnold, was before United States Commissioner Heacock yesterday on a new charge. The complaint, sworn to by British Vice Consul Moore, charged | him with embezzling a sum equivalent to | $177 in gold from William O. Swain and dgar Swain of England, hefrs of an English__estate. Arnold’s wife was in court. Vice Consul Moore was also there with a set of depositions, which were not put in evidence. Arnold was represented v Bert Schlesinger and the Vice Consul wis represented by Mr. Cormac, of Cor- mac, Donohoe & Baum. Attorney Schles inger objected to everything and when he was overruled, took exceptions. He asked for and secured a continuance for two weeks. Various papers were read, under objection, among them a communi- cation from the British Embassador at | Washington and the British Consul Gen- eral at Chicago. Upon the showing that | the dates in them barred the supposition that they could apply to any but the earlier case, they were withdrawn. George W. Hazen identified Arnoid and Vice Consul Moore testified that he had roceeded under instructions from Min- | ster Pauncefote in swearing out the complaint upon which Arnold had been reargested. At this point in the proceed- ings' Mr. Schlesinger asked for a contin- | uance for one month and said that he | wished to produce depositions and other apers which were on the way from Eng- and. Commissioner Heacock would not rant a_delay of a month. but named ugust 6 as the date for the hearing of testimony. (SR A TS ey | WOULD RECLAIM THE !

She will make one more trip to Nanaimo for coal and will then be fitted out to carry horses and fod- der to China. The Slam was for quite a while in the Manila trade and had an un- fortunate experience on her first trip. She was caught in a typhoon and nearly every one of the cattle was killed. The transport Hancock will sail next Sunday for the Orient. The chances are that she will not go any farther than | gasaki. She will there land her troops and ancther vessel will take them on to China. This means that Uncle Sam will inaugurate a regular service between San Francisco, Nagasaki and Taku. Two ves- s, probably the Hancock and Meade, | I run between here and Nagasakl, | ile two more, probably the Indiana and | Warren, will run between Nagasaki and | Chinese ports. The Hancock docked yes- | terday morning and the work of getting | her ready to sail was begun at once. - | The transport Warren sailed from Nag- 16 and the Logan on July | 7, both for San Francisco. It was the i tention of the Government to send the Lo- | gan back to China, but she got away from | Nagasaki before the orders arrived. The | Warren should reach here about August 2 and the Logan about thirty-six hours | later. W Both vessels will be given a hur- | ried overhauling and will' get away again | about August 1% or 16. British Ships in Collision. The British ships Champion and Lnrd‘ Kinnaird were in collision off the South | American coast some time in June last, but the news only reached here from London veste ay. Both vessels reached | Antofogasta in a badly disabled condition. The Champion sailed from Port Hadlock on April 21 for Antofogasta in charge of Captain Jones. From that point she was to bring a cargo of nitrate to San Fran- cisco. The Lord Kinniard sailed from Newcastle, Aus., on April 1 for Antofo- gasta in charge of Captain Mutch, From that port she also was coming to San | Francisco with nitrate. The Champlon had fi a car; 1,070,130 feet of lumber, and the Lord Kinniard carried about 1500 tons of coal. A telegram to the Mer- chants' Exchange states that both vessels | are almost wrecks and that it will take | months to repair them. This is bad news first to be invoked before a lasting im- pression could be made on New England's rockbound coast. Better men than the miscalled “gentlemen” who quarreled and starved and died of fever in the early days of Jamestown were required in the far north. And England was well sifted to find them. England was still in the after-travail of the reformation. Some of her good Chris- tians were for sweeping all the good as well as evil from the church. They want- | ed to make all things new; to simplify the government of the church and drop her ceremonies. To purge and purify was their intent and so they got the name of Puritans. Despalring of achieving their whole purpose some of them made up their minds to leave the mother church and shift as best they could without her. S R R e S S o ok o g et But the work was very hard; some of the younger folk could not resist the tempta- tion of ¢ life; foreign habits were crowding out the English ways of thought; and there were some dread for the powder makers, who never wanted nitrate worse than they do now. ‘Water Front Notes. The British ship Windsor Park sailed for Europe with a cargo of wheat yester- | day Captain Lambie’s friends were out | in force to bid him good-by. This was | the genial master’s first visit to San Fran- | eisco, but he has left many kirdly memo- | ries behind him and will receive a warm welcome on his return.

The contest over the property is preliminary to divorce pro- ceedings which will be-in court within o few weeks. Judge Seawell found that Mrs. Rayhill had put $4700 into the estab- lishment and that Ravhill had advanced $1800.

It was better far, they thought, to g0 iike “pilgrims” to the new land beyvond the seas—to go at once. King James refused to let them have a charter. But he showed sufficient inter to inquire into their plan and to approve it in the words, “It was a good and hon- est notion.” Informed that they proposed to make a living by “fishing” he remarked with patronizing nonchalance, “‘So God have my soul; so God have my soul; 'tis an honest trade; ‘twas the apostles’ own calling.’ After many mishaps the pilgrims were off, a_hundred of them all told, Septem- ber 16, 1620, from Plymouth, England, in the stanch Mayflower, which seemed to them quite small, but to us..who hear of the countless bits of furniture brought ver in it, seems as large as the Ocea or its prototype. the Great Eastern.
