The militia, sixty-four strong, went aboard the war- ship about 11 a. m. and the time from then up to the hour of sailing was used in get- ting the men installed in their quarters. As soon as that was accomplished the seven-day cruise was begun. Among the vessels that made port was the ship Two Brothers from Bristol Bay with a cargo of 82,200 cases of salmon. Early in the morning it blew from the northwest and that brought her off port. and she sailed in. The Two Brothers is one of the best known vessels on the coast and generally makes a good run. Adverse winds lengthened out the passage from Bristol Bay to 2 days on this occa- sion. Another arrival was the brig John D. Spreckels from the Carolines with 275 tons of copra. She left here May 5 for Guam and after discharging there went to the German possessions. After securing a cargo by trading she sailed from Kusaie last month and made the run home in 37 d Captain McNeill says everything s quiet in the Carolines and at Guam when his vessel was ther Among the departures were the British ship County of Inverness for Queenstown with wheat, the barkentine W, H.

On her way here from Nagasaki the 1 supplied her at that point #0 D that she could not make spe and had to put into Honolulu for a bet ter supply. She salled from here again on July 10 and egain had to put into_Hono- lulu with a damaged cylinder. Manila was made prior to August 16, and after discharging the orders were given for her to go around the islands, pick up the Beventeenth Infantry and take them to New York via the Suez canal. She left Manila on September 16 and must have had nearly all the men of the Seventeenth aboard when she struck. From Mindanao she would probably have gone to S(ni(n-J ore and thence by way of China to the editerranean. LeEsst ity A Plucky Master Mariner. Captain McIntosh of the schooner Arago will be around town again in a day or so and congratulations will be in order. The Arago left here last spring for the codfishing banks and Captain McIntosh was in hopes of making a record catch. The latter part of May the schooner was caught in a terrific storm and had to be hove to. A wave washed Captain McIn- tosh from the poop and when he was jicked up the mate thought him dead, Ele was taken below and showed signs of life. An examination showed that an arm and nearly all the ribs on one side were broken; that the scalp was laid open and six front teeth were gone. The captain, when consciousness was restored, refused to turn back and the Arago went to the banks, where she took 75,000 fish. On her return here Captain McIntosh was sent to the Lane Hospital by Lynde & Hough, owners of the vessel, where his arm had to be rebroken, the rough edges chiseled off and reset. It is now all right again and he will be out to-morrow. In spite of the mishap, he is going back to Bering Sea next spring. ‘Water Front Notes. Tt was rumored on the front yesterday that Captain Storrs, who brought the steamship Edith here from the East last week, was going back to bring out the big collier Roma. It was also said that Captain Hall of the South Portland was to take command of the Edith. James Jerome, manager of the vessel, says that nothing has been settled and that the Roma may be kept on the Atlantic coast. The anchor and chain lost by the En- terprise was picked up by the tug Sea King yesterday. The Portland steamship George W. El- der is scheduled to sail on the 28th inst. for the Columbia River. She will be the first of these vessels to carry passengers, and should the venture prove a success all of the fleet will carry passengers as well as i ‘ht. Ever since the strike the vessels ha¥e been going out with freight only. NEWS OF THE OCEAN. Matters of Interest to Mariners ard Shipping Merchants.

TUNION IRON WORKS LIABLE FOR DEATH OF WORKMAN Judge Hunt Holds Manufacturers Re- sponsible for Life of Mechanic Employed by Others. A motion for a new trial made by the attorneys for the Union Iron Works in the case of Henry Grundel, who was awarded damages for the death of his son, who was an employe of the Sloane Furniture Company, was denied by Judge #Hunt yesterday. Young Grundel was killed at the Potrero works. The damages were awarded by a jury, and the attor- neys on the losing side asked for a new trial on the ground that the man who was killed was not an employe of the works; that he was there in the inter- est of a third party, and therefore the Union Iron Works should not be held responsible for his death. Judge Hunt, however, held that a man who enters the premises of another for the purpose of transacting business Is not a mere licensee, but one to whom the owner of the premises owes some ob- ligations and duty. The question was also raised by the at- torneys for the works that the vessel on which the man was killed was not the property of the Union Iron Works. Judge Hunt decided that until the boat was turned over to purchasers it was, to all intents and purposes, the property of the builder. — e Suits for Damages Filed. Two sults for damages against the Mar- ket-street Railway Company were filed yesterday. Patrick O’Shea wants $10,050 for injuries caused by his being throwa from a wagon which was run into by a McAllister-street car April 15, 1901. Mary Daly, guardian of the three Daly chil- dren, whose father was killed by an elec- tric car on Kentucky street, near Army, last May, filed a complaint asking that the children be given damages to the amount of $50,000. — e Appraisers Complete Task. The estate of Frederick Hufschmidt has been appraised at $155,333. The report of the appraisers was flled in the County Clerk’s office yesterday and showed that the estate consisted principally of stocks and bonds. ——— P. C.

Provision Made for Refund- ing Personal Property Taxes. ik Supervisor Braunhart introduced a resolution at yesterday's meeting of the board which provides that steps be taken looking toward the re-enactment of the Geary exclusion act. It was adopted and is as’ follows: ‘Whereas, The Chinese exclusion act, enacted in 1891, expires during the sesslon of the next Congress; and Whereas, It is absolutely necessary that the same should be re-enacted; Resolved, That this board inaugurate a move- ment toward the calling of a State convention, to be held in the clty and county of San Fran- clsco not later than December 2 of this year, for the purpose of memorializing the President of the United States and Congress for the re- enactment of the law known as the Geary ex- clusion act: and Resolved, That sald convention shall consist of representatives of all County Boards of Su- pervisors, Boards of City Counctls, Town Trus- tees, Boards of Trade, trades unions and other civic organizations, Resolved, That a_committee consisting of his Honor the Mayor and five Supervisors, to be appointed by the Mayor, be selected for the purpose of formulating a call and making such arrangements as are deemed necessary to hold said conventlon. Hotaling was excused from voting, he stating ihat it was not within the prov- ince of the board to meddle in the mat- ter, Brandenstein believed that the reso- lution was timely and Braunhart in de- fense of his measure said that a_similar convention had been held in 1836. The lat- ter claimed that as there was misrepre- sentation of the facts connected with Chi- nese immigration it was necessary to have some expression of public sentiment on the subject. The Mayor appointed _Supervisors Braunhart, Booth, Tobin, Boxton and Dwyer to act with him on the committee. Building Ordinance Considered. The combined building and fire ordi- nance was ordered printed by the official paper. Copies will be furnished the mem- bers of the board and the bill will be ta- ken up at the next meeting. The Tax Collector was authorized to appoint forty-two temporary clerks dur- ing October and November, and the Clerk of the Justices’ Court two clerks for two months.

The Sutter-street Railway Company was directed to bituminize the roadway between its tracks on Polk street, from Sutter to Jackson. The Hayes Valley Athletic Club was granted permission to hold an amateur boxing exhibition in the Mechanics' Pa- vilion Annex on September 30. Will Extend Belt Line.

PoThere was opposition to paying for wa- ter fllters at the City Hall and hereafter thet city employes must drink unflitered water. The ordinance imposing a license of $4 T quarter on owners of stables who rent orses, vehicles or stalls or who board horses was finally passed. The bill providing for the refunding of ersonal property taxes on account of the ower rate this year was passed to print. The Mayor was authorized to lease to the Ladles’ Seamen's Friend Society the Sallors’ Home at Spear and Harrison streets for a perfod of three years at a nominal rental.
