The Farragut came over from Sausalito vesterday and dur- ing the afternoon her captain went aboard the flagship. The captains of the Wisconsin and Philadelphia also went aboard the Iowa and all three received their final instructions from Admiral Casey. The Farragut did not remain in the stream, but went back to her anchor- age at Sausalito. She will be on hand to-night, however, and will help in the display to be made by the big vessels.

The ship painters went out on strike resterday and the work of overhauling the steamships St. Paul, Portland, Roan- | oke and Zealandia was stopped as far as that branch of labor was concerned. The painters assert that they formerly were paid $3 for a mnine-hour day, but that sev- | eral months ago there was a cut of 50 | cents a day made. | a promise made to put the ‘wage! At the time (pere was back at. the old figure as soon as business picked up, and on_ the first of the month the men notified the emplovers that it was time the old rate was restored. The men say the increase was agreed to and every painter expected to receive $18 for his week’s work last Saturday night. Instead they were paid the old sum of $i5. There was much grumbling over the state of affairs and at a meeting held Sunday it was decided not to go back to work un- less $3 a day was guaranteed. The bosses refused to grant the 50-cent advance and the men to the number of over 200 walked out. On_all the transport fleet the painters get $250 a day for eight hours’ work and with that they are satisfied, but on out- side vessels they insist on $3 for a nine- hour day. Outside men will be got to paint the Zealandia, but the chances are that the Roanoke, St. Paul and Portland | will be painted on Puget Sound. wr gl e Insurance on Rio’s Cargo Paid. All insurance matters in connection with the wreck of the Rio de Janeiro have been settled. The underwriters have paid $900,000 to the owners of cargo, but the Joss on the vesesel is known only to the officers of the Pacific Mail Steamship There s $35,000 in treasure, on which insurance has been paid, and there was $30,000 more shipped by the Col- lector of Customs at Hawaii, on which there was no insurance, besides a con- siderable sum belonging to the Mail Com- pany. It can now be set down pretty accurately that the total loss was $1,500,000. Raw silk was the article in the Rio’s car- go that cost the underwriters most money. Co s e Sudden Death of W. Cleland. W. T. W. Cleland, chief clerk of the shipping house of Hind, Rolph & Co., died rather suddenly at his home yesterday morning. He was taken sick about four davs ago and had to go home.

DECIDES TO PAY FOR PREACHER'S VALISE Ttinerant Minister of Georgia Brings a Railroad Company to His Terms. Some time in a departed and almost for- gotten century a Jacksonville raflroad came under the ban of a Georgla preach- er’s disapproval—but continued business.. Now, the Georgia preacher was the owner of a valise, a pasteboard thing, painted and otherwise decorated to look like a tourist's bag, and he went about the world and south Georgia with this bag, preaching and riding on half-rate tickets., Moreover, the lovely valise he checked. One day—it was “of a Sunday’—the preacher descended from a passenger car at a city of two hundred and eleven in- habitants somewhere, anywhere, quite in time to observe, so he claimed, his cher- ished _valise, fat with lean sermons, pitched from a baggage car. Following the valise came & trunk, a drummer's ele- hantine trunk, and it dropped full six eet kerflummux on the valise. The valise suffered cruel injury; indeed, it was de- stroyed, and the preacher’s heart was broken; so he put in a claim for $25 for the valise, the sermons having withstood the shock of the catapulted trunk. The railroad people at Jacksonville fili- bustered, and debated the matter, by means of the mails, with the claimant. It was suggested that the lemaster might be discharged, hoping thus to ap- pease the clerical gentleman’s wrath. A reply came that the railroad might, If 1t chose, ‘discharge its president, its board of directors, its passenger and freight TELEGRAPHIC.
