GRAVE FEARS ARE FEL’ | OF THE MONITOR AND HER CAPTAIN AND CREW. 3 OR SIUSLAW AND FOR THE SAFETY | | | ANY vessels of the coasting fleet are making long passages and it is feared that some of them may have run short of provi- sions if nothing worse has nap- | pened. One vessel is almost given up for | lost and the owners would be glad to hear | from a number of others. The old barkentine Monitor is now out thirty days from Grays Harbor for San Francisco and her owners have almost given up hope of ever seeing her again. Before leaving San Francisco on her last voyage the Monitor was put on the ways and overhauled. At that time an expert on hulls said to Captain Donnelly, “If you should meet with any heavy weather for i God's sake handle her easy.” “That's all right,” answered the master, ‘“‘when it comes on to blow I'll put her ‘to sleep.” The Monitor and schooner Lettitia left Grays_Harbor in company on March 24 last. The Lettitia made the run down the coast in six days and has been overhauled | and js ready to start back again, whiie | the Monitor has not been heard from since the Lettitia parted company with her on March 26. Captain Donnelly was voya he schooner fleet the Bella,is out | twenty days from San Francisco £dr Sius- | law, the Mayflower twenty days for Co- quille, the Lizzie Prien is twenty-four days for Siuslaw and the Park- burg twenty-four days for Coquille, while the Nettie Sundborg is sixteen day | and the Wing and Wing twenty-one days out for Siuslaw. As the Coquille River is only 360 miles and Siuslaw about 500 miles from here the entire fleet should been at _its destination long ago. have Both places, however, are very hard to enter. The bars are bad and if there is | any heavy weather a vessel has to lie | off and wait for a chance to get in. When they do geét in they very frequently have to wait for weeks for a chance to get out again. If they have plenty of provisions the chances are that the fleet is all right. -— | CITY OF PUEBLA IN COMMISSION | Renovated Puget Sound Liner Now the Pride of the Fleet. The Pacific Coast -Steamship Com- pany’s City of Puebla arrived from Puget Sound ports yesterday on her maiden trip since she was overhauled. The Puebla was sent to Seattle to be repaired. New boilers were put in, the machinery was overhauled, bilge-keels to steady the ves- | sel were put on and other work done at a | cost of over $100,000. On her trial on the Sound the Puebla made over eighteen knots an hour. On the trip down she aver- | aged fifteen and a half knots and Captain | Jepsen is of the opinion that she can easily make sixteen knots an hour on a | continuous run. | ““The State of California, which took the | on the Sound run, will be | | Puebla’s plac put on the Seattle-Skaguay route so that she will not be seen in again for some time to come, il S News From the Overdues. | Tt now appears that there was good rea- | son for the remsurance on the British | ship Aranamurchan. When the news came | that salmon which was supposed to have | been on the vessel had gone ashore on the | Washington coast the underwriters at | once began covering their risks. The rate | on the vessel went up and down the scale and when she finally reached port 50 per | cent was the prevailing figure. A cable received yesterday by the Merchants' Ex- change says that on December 17 last, off the Washington coast the Ardnamurchan was on her beam ends for several hours and that 5000 cases of salmon had to be jettisoned in order to save the vessel. | When the news came that the vessel was safe it was generally supposed that the salmon washed ashore was not from the Ardnamurchan. The cable shows that “he first impression was the correct one. The French bark Grande Duchesse Olga, now out 108 days from Tahiti for Europe and on which 30 per cent reinsurance has been paid, was spoken on April 11 in lati tude 39 degrees 12 minutes north, longi- tude 34 degrees 52 minutes west. The Olga | left here with a cargo of wheat and put | into Tahiti dismasted. New spars were | sent out from France and another start | was made. On the John McDonald, now out 217 | gays from Baltimore for San Francisco, | 8 per cent is being paid and on the Man. chester, 243 days out from New York for | Yokohama, 60 per cent is the ruling | figure. —_————— ‘Water Front Notes.

Tells of Old Beasts Made Famous and Beloved by His Books. Ernest Seton-Thompson, whose stories of wild animals have charmed old and young, was heard for the first time on the lecture platform In this city at Met- | ropolitan Temple yesterday afternoon. | Delays and complications kept the audi- ence waiting for more than half an hour, but no one grumbled and all earned the compliment Willlam Greer Harrison paid | to their patience. Mr. Harrison intro- jduced Mr. Seton, for Seton is his name |and Thompson his nom de plume, in a | neat speech, which he strung out until the stereopticon had been put into work- ing order: then the lecturer came for- ward. Mr. Seton-Thompson is a man of young | appearance with keen observing eyes that miss nothing and a voice with something |of an accent in it. He does not always | Speak fluently, but he chooses his words well and his descriptions of the lives and | habits of his friends, the wild animals, | are terse and forceful and at times elo- quent. In opening his lecture yesterday afternoon he said: 2 i ‘1 will speak to-day of the personal side of one or two of my wild animal friends, {and by personal side 1 mean their hu-| |man side. It s believed by many that wild animals are nothing more than ma- | chines, but we know better. | And not only have they a mind and a con- | scicusness but a conscience as well, and | they have a sense of humor and of life | | and happiness. A dog's idea of happiness i may not be very high; it may not be any higher than a desire to keep full of beef- | steak, but such as it is, it is definite. That |is what I mean by the personal side of wlltld animals. It is their mind that I am after.” Characteristics of Fox Tracks. | The lecturer then took up the trail of | a fox, showing pictures of the tracks in the snow and telling how the actions of the fox could be guessed by the charac- teristics of the track. Once he stopped and dug out a garter snake, but he did not eat it, and farther on he caught a prairie chicken lying in fancied security in a drift. All this was shown by the tracks of the fox and by the holes in the prairie chicken were disturbed. Then he told of the Springfield fox, which is the subject of one of the stories in his book, and then he turned to his ex- periences with bears in the Yellowstone National Park. In telling of the bears he made frequent mention of “Little Johnny,” the cub of “Old Grumpy,’ two well-known charac- ters among the park bears. Among them, tco, was an immense grizzly that he de- scribed. It was this grizzly that he aft- i erward made famous as ‘“Wab” in one of his best stories. He reserved for the last “Lobo,” the gaunt gray old king wolf of New Mex- ico. ‘“Lobo” is told of in his book, but he amplified the story and made of the “grand old reprobate” the wild hero he really was. It was a graphic story, well and feelingly told, and when the keen, cruel head of the old cattle thief was ! shown upon the screen the audience for- i got all but the noble side of the rugged ranger and applauded him right heartily. Woes of Some Animals. Last evening Mr. Seton-Thompson lec- tured again, taking as his subject the name he gave his book, “Wild Animals I Have Known' He did not adhere to the text of the book, however, although several of the characters that make those pages so charming lent their interest to | his talk last evening. He told again the | woes_of little Mollie Cottontail, of Wully and Bingo, the dogs; of the pacing mus- tang .and of the fox, and to these he added his experience with antelopes and deer, a stag hunt and a moose hunt, the antics of a pet skunk, the voice and ac- tions of a dog on different trails and the notes of the birds along the Red River of Manitoba. In describing his dog trailing different animals he wove in the habits of the coon, the fox, the skunk and the house- TO ARRIVE. hold cat, and he l';mmtgd ;he cries of the dog as he pursued each of these animals el o Due. | anq how it was that he could tell by the Golon..

The lectures are being given under the auspices of the California Club. CONTEST FOR LETTERS ON CHAMBERS ESTATE BEGINS Judge Sloss Called Upon to Determine Merits of Claims of Three Petitioners. The contest to determine who shall ad- minister the estate of the late Robert C. Chambers began before Judge Sloss yes- terday afternoon. H. C. Wilbur was first placed upon the stand in behalf of the Public Administrator's petition for letters and the rest of the afternoon was occu- pied examining Ada C. Martin, decedent's sister, who up to last week resided in Kansas City. Mrs. Martin says that she is going to make San Francisco her fu- tureé home and being a lawful resident is entitled to letters of administration. Aft- er Mrs. Martin left the stand Judge Sloss continued the case until this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Late in the afternoon a third petition for letters of administration upon the es- tate was filed by John P. Fritter of Butte County, through his attorney, William H. Schooier. Mr. Fritter is a cousin of the deceased, and being 2 known lawful resi- dent of this State asks the right to ad- minister upon the estate of the deceased. Judge Sloss will decide the many con- flicting claims shortly after the case is submitted. Pears’ soap is not only the best in all the world for toilet and bath but also for shav- ing.

Privates Claim Commanders Are Not Fit for Posi- tions. —_— A peculiarity connected with the return of the volunteers, who have been arriving from the Philippines of late, has been the absence of any complaint against the offl- cers of the regiments. This evidence of the pleasant relations between officers and privates, however, does not apply to the Twenty-sixth Infantry, which arrived here on the Garonne. 'he soldlers o this regiment discuss the actions of the officers under whom they have served without reservation and the charges made are enough to convince a clvillan that life in the army is not a bit pleasant. | “Poor’food and poor treatment is due to poor officers,” say the men, and every | one who has a complaint to make i3 will- ing to make it as soon as the fear of im- mediate punishment for his presumption |is removed—that is after he receives his | discharge. | The rumored prospective court-martial | of Lieutenant Edwards, who, it is alleged, | left the regiment at Nagasaki rather than |face a board composed of his superior officers, is freely discussed by the men. | They are not a bit backward in referring | to him as a “stomach robber,” which in the parlance of the soldier, means “an | officer who underfeeds his men.” Lieutenant Colonel Dickman is another | officer whose conduct meets with the dis- | approval of his men and the ~remarks made by the soldiers are not at all com- plimentary to the doughty commanding officer.
