MONG the numerous vessels to arrive in port yesterday were the merchant steamships Valencia and Guatemala and the navy transport Solace. The Valencia came from Nome via the canneries, the 3uatemala from South and Central Amer- ican ports and the Solace from Manila via Guam and Honolulu. The Valencia brought down Captain W. G. Porter of the wrecked whaler Gram- pus ‘from Nome and twenty-nine Italians ix Chinese from Orca. On the 5st inst., at 7 p. m., when 345 miles west three-quarters north of Flattery, the Brit- ish steamer Manauense, from V. B. C., for St. Michael, wa her thr ft broken.

The next morning the breeze died out and the northeast current set us down on the ice pack, then four mile: from shore, Early in the afternoon of th 18th a dense fog set in and an hour later i countered. the look of things and started he south. In a quarter of an hour we ran into great pieces of ice and soon afterward found ourselves caught in the pack.

We #ot the steam pumps to work and all hands to shifting the coal and supplies from the after hold forward. In this way we lightened her up aft and got going again and finally beached her two miles north of Refuge Inlet and ten miles south of Cape Smith. “Soon after the Grampus was beached the steam whaler Jeanettte came along and Captain Ne our carpenter and myself held a survey and decided that the old vessel was unseaworthy. I sold hull an for the benefit of the underw: rs of the Liebes whaling station and Captain Newth of the Jeanette paying $1650 for the lot. The Jeanette took us to Point Hope and from there the schooner Helen took us to Teller and the steamer Elk to Nome. Some of the crew remained in Alaska. Fifth Mate Paifl Miller, Chief Engineer John D. Cer- rl:k, Assistant Engineer Mitchell Johnson and Carpenter G. C. Dawson came home with 4 —— BARODA STRANDED. Goes Ashore Near Coquille River While Making for Portland. The British steel vessel Baroda is hard and fast on a sandy beach nine miles south of Coquille River. The vessel was | bound from Callao for Portland to load wheat for Europe and last Sunday was close to her destination. On the 2th inst. she was In latitude 42 degrees north, longi- tude 130 degrees west, and on that occa- sion Captain Hays of the St. Paul gave Captain Marr of the bark his position. It was very foggy at the time and a strong current was running. Captain Marr must have again lost his way and run his ves- | sel ashore in the fog. A dispatch to the Merchants’ Exchange states that the crew was saved, that the s.a is smooth at Co- quille and two powerful tugs would stand a good chance of saving the vessel. A later dispatch states that the vessel went ashore at 1;30 a. m. yesterday. She struck head on and swung around and is now dying with her bow to the sea. Cap- tain Marr has two heavy anchors out on the vessel and hopes to save her. Those who bave had experience in the locality think the vessel will not be saved, how- ever. She is in ballast and it has not shifted. e in Pedersen of the colller Tellus says that for the last two weeks the fog along the Oregon coast has been very heavy. A lot of smoke is mixed in with it, which makes matters worse. On his way north the captain says his usual course is north by west half west, but on the occasion of his last run he had to steer north and then the current was so strong that he couldn’t keep his course. Coming home he had to stand half a point in all the way down. This coupled with fog has made navigation on the coast ex- ceedingly difficult, and Captain Pedersen thinks the going ashore of the Baroda was due to these causes. The local tug companies here will not send boats to the wreck, as they say there are several available in the vicinity. The Baroda is 1353 tons net burden and is a sister ship to the Lucknow that was here last vear. She was built in 1891 by A. McMullan & Co. of Dumbarton, Scot- jand, and is owned by W. & J. Crawford of Greenock. She is 237 feet 5 inches long, 36 feet 2 inches beam and 21 feet b inches deep. Naval Transport Solace Arrives. The United States naval transport Solace arrived from Manila via Guam and Honolulu yesterday. She made the run from the islands in seven days, and will probably go to the navy yard to be put out of commissioh to-morrow. A list of the officers and passengers on the Solace The Call Wednesday last. The Solace left S8an Francisco early this year, and during her absence has traveled over 30,000 miles. From here she went to Honolulu and_thence to Guam and the Philippines. From Manila she went to China and Japan and then back to Guam. She left the latter place August 8 and has come leisurely home. o AL “Guatemala From South America. The Pacific Steam Navigation Com- pany’s Guatemala arrived from South and Central American ports yesterday. As there was no berth for her she anchored in the stream and may not dock until | tabl after the Palena gets away. The cabin passengers on the Guatemala were: Juan Coronel, Victor Coppa, Miss Breda Umland, Mrs, Luisa Paterson, Mrs. A. Farnsworth, Mrs. Cora Stanley and Mrs. Maria Jackett. Among her cargo is $84,000 in bar silver and $30.000 in specie. She also carries a very large consignment of general mer- chandise from Europe, which was tran- shipped at Valparaiso. This, with coffee, rubber, cocoa and sugar from South and Central American ports, makes up the valuable cargo ever brought to San neisco by this line. Movements of Transports.

LEACH NIRRT DIMMI'S FAL Giving Him Five Months to Look for Another $ Position. . 7 Leaniency Due to Disinclina- tion to Wreck Clerk’s Reputation. Superintendent Leach of the Mint was {on the witness stand in United States Commissioner Heacock's court the whole of yesterday afternoon under searching cross-examination by George D. Collins, counsel for Walter N. Dimmick. The attorney was inquiring closely as to the manner of exchanging ol lead for bluestone between the Mint officials and the Selby Smelting and Lead Works. Mr. Leach explained that he had not thought it worth while to keep a book or a set of books for these transactions. The bills and other vouch- ers, he said, were kept in envelopes, and these were indexed. The witness called attention to one transaction of the date of December 30, 1899, on which date Dfmmick collected $362 47 from the Selby people for sales, and he did not enter the transaction until Jnnuarz. 1900, several days later. This al- iowed him to carry the money into the next quarter. It should have been paid by Dimmick into the Sub-Treasury on De- cember 31, the last day of the quarter. The proper depository for all such moneys until the end of the quarter was the office safe, which was equally accessible to Dimmick, the witness, his private secre- tary, the bookkeeper, Mr. Symmes, and the bank messenger. In that safe were also kept the duplicate combination of all the vaults in the Mint. Dimmick kept a pri- vate box in the safe there, and so did the witness. He could not remember ever hav- ing seen any money in the safe. but he had so much confidence in Dimmick that he left the matter to him entirely. After February 19, 1901, on which date the wit- ness began to doubt Mr. Dimmick’s dis- cretion, the witness issued an order that all moneys received for sales of by pro- ducts of the Mint should be sent immedi- ately upon receipt to the United States Sub-Treasury oy the bank messenger> On July 31, 1901, Leach delivered a note to Dimmick, ordering him to_hand over his keys and other officlal effects to B. W. Day pending investigation into the short- age in the cashier's accounts. Dimmick’s Duty to Count Coin. “That shortage was in the cashier’s ac- count?”’ asked Mr. Collins. Yes,"” replied Mr. Leact o was the cashier . XK. Cole.” accounts of Dimmick “No; not that I know of."” ‘“That money was not under the custody and control of Dimmick?” “Well, it was bis duty to count it."” Then Mr. Leach went on to tell how, on /Friday, June 28, the evening before the discovery of the $30,000 shortage, ne was requested by Dimmick to go with him into the cashier’s vault and count the con- tents. “Was not that an extraordinary re- quest?’ asked Mr. Col + ‘ollins. it was a very extraordinary re- .7 responded the witness. “And you didn't ask him for any expla- nation?” “No, sir.” ““We stepped into the vault and he made the remark that there was so much money on the racks. I counted the racks and said ‘Yes,’ and he then looked at the piles in the vaalt and said ‘There is so much here,” but I could not count whether there was or not. Then he proceeded to count the other piles there.” At this stage of the inquiry United States Attorney Woodworth came to the rescue of the witness with the objection that the matter had nothing whatcver to do with the charges under investigation, find Judge Heacock sustained the objec- on. Doubted Chief Clerk’s Guilt. Mr. Leach explained that he had al- lowed Dimmick to pursue his duties from February 19 until July 31 of this year for the reason that he had up to the latter date a doubt as to Dimmick’s guilt. Fur- thermore, he nad .given him these months in which to look for another situation, as summarily disgrace him. I asked Dimmick for a justification of these offenses,” continued Mr. Leach. “I condemned his methods and told him that a man who entertained such ideas of pro- priety and honesty in such transactions, notwithstanding that he might not have any criminal intent, could not remain | with me, and he would have to seek some other position, and that I would give him two or three months longer to find an- other one. I nad such implicit confidence in the man at that time and his plausi- ble stories deceived me to that extent that I felt justified in dismissing him in a manner that would not wreck his reputa- tion or disgrace his family. After I had occasion to look at the books and found that he had told me things which were not in accordance with the record, I let it go, saying, ‘Now we are going to get Tid of this man,’ until the matter of the $30,000 came up. I wanted to dismiss him at once, but after a talk with Mint Di- rector Roberts he wanted me to keeg Dimmick in office until we were througl with the investigation.” The further hearing was continued until next Tuesday at 10 a. m. ] PHENOMENAL INCREASE IN CITY BANK DEPOSITS Semi-Annual Report of Bank Com- missioners Shows Great Pros- perity.
