Not Heard From Since Cast Adrift| Off Fort Bragg. Shipping men and her owner are won- | ng what has become of the schooner Alexander. She left here on November 12 in tow of the steam schooner National for Fort Bragg. Up the coast a very heavy gale was encountered and the steamer had to cast off her tow. This was on November 14, and the people on| <rew was to be made up at Fort Bragg, and neither was there an overabundance of supplies. Since being cast off by the steamship nothing has been heard of the vessel, and if she is still aflioat the crew | must be on very short rations. After losing her tow the National City mace Fort bragg, and after discharging aded for this port and came to San ancisco, arriving yesterday morning. er during a heavy gale and had no ns of putting a fresh hawser aboard. | soon as his vessel is discharged he As will g0 out to look for the missing ve in The Alexander was built flies the British fiag. She time a steamship, but outlived her us fulness in that line and was turned into “wind jammer.” La Gironde May Be Saved. The steamship Ruth arrived from the south yesterday and brings the news that the schooner La Gironde may be salved. Lumber and wrecking machi was taken down, and when the Ruth left St. Nicholas Island the prospects for getting the schooner off seemed good. The La Gironde was owned by the E. Wood Lumber Company and was on her way from San Pedro for San Fran- cisco. In a dense fog she went on to St. Nicholas Island and the crew deserted | her. While they were away some men | from San Diego took possession and held | the vessel in spite of a wrecking crew sent on the S8amoa to get her off. Then | the La Gironde was soid on the floor of | the Merchants’ Exchange to H. P. Squier for a song and he sent out men on the | Ruth to float her. The people in posses- | sion, after consuiting an attorney, gave | up everything they had strlp\pnd the vi sel of and also possession. Now the cap- tain of the Ruth reports that with me‘ { | 1877 at Nerve-racked, weary and heavy-eyed, the head that secks repose finds only ceasless tossing and fever- ish unrest.

The steamship John S.

Captain Thwing says it was one of the | heaviest blows he ever encountered. At Grays Harbor the schooners Alcalde and A. J. West dragged their anchors and came together. Neither was badly maged by the accident chain, while the Alcalde lost an anchor hirty fathoms of chain. Ive vessels were bar bound at Harbor while the storm raged out- e, but yesterday four of them managed to get out and make a start for San | Francisco. . Water Front Notes. Two red peciled bulls for the Hawailan now awaiting shipment in Morehead’s stables on the front. They came from Ohio on the overland and are for Paul Isenberg of Honolulu. They will be shipped on one of the Williams, Di- mond & Co. line of vessels. The brig Galilee arrived from the isl- ands yesterday after a fair run of eight- een and a haif days. The passengers on the Alameda gave a testimonial to Captain Herriman on the downward trip of the vessel, thanking him and his officers for courtesies ex- tended. The Australia will be due from Tahit!

Question of the Constitution’s Operation Causes Trouble. SN SR HONOLULU, Nov. 14.—The Hawailan Supreme Court has reaffirmed its deci- sion, Galbraith dissenting, that after the transfer of the sovereignty of these isl- ands to the United States persons could be lawfully convicted of crime without the intervention of a Grand Jury, or by a verdict of nine jurors. The question | turns on whether the United States con- | stitutior applied in Hawaii after the pas- sage of the Newlands resolution. Since the last Supreme Court decision on the question, United States Judge Es- tee has rendered a decision the other way, declaring convictions by majority verdicts | to be void; also convictions without Grand Jury indictments. Tne Circuit courts con- tinue to hold the same way as Estge, re- fusing to follow the Supreme Court de- cision. As a result retrials are being had of prisoners held to have been illegally | convicted, while it is admittea that the | Supreme Court will knoc¢k out decisions. { Estee and the Circuit courts refuse to sustain the old trials, so that between | the two the prisoners appear to have a | 8ood chance of escape. |~ There is much agitation going on for | an extra session of the Legisiature. Most | of the Government departments are.se- riously handicapped by lack of funds, and those who want an extra session say that the lawmakers should be given an op- portunity to pass some revenue producing measures. Governor Dole is reported to be firmly against such a session and the opponents of the idea say that he will.not call a session, The Circuit Court bailiff act, under which all the Circuit courts of the isl- ands have been proceeding ever since the | Legislature adjourned last spring, has }been attacked in Judge Humphreys' court by Attorney A. G. M. Robertson in be- | half of a defendant indicted for perjury. | The act authorizes bailiffs of the Circuit | Courts to summon grand and trial jurors. [ If it should be declared invalid the en- { tire criminal proceedings throughout the Territory for eight months past will fail | witk it,” and scores of prisoners will be set free or will have to be indicted and ! tried azain. The ‘ct is attacked on' the | ground that it didsnot pass each house of the Legislature three times, as re- | quired by law, and also on other technical | grounds. COLONEL OF MARINES BEFORE COURT-MARTIAL Witnesses Tell of Alleged In‘oxica- tion of an Officer at Brooklyn A Navy Yard. NEW YORK, Nov. 19.—Colonel Robert L. Meade, commanding officer of the ma-! rine barracks at the Brooklyn Navy | Yard, faced a court-martial to-day in lhel‘ paymaster's building at the yard on| charges preferred against him by Major | C.

TO READERS OF THE CALL: had no strength and was all run down. and while I returned and to-day I am as well as ever. Swamp-Root So Pleasant to Take. ““You have no idea how well I feel. I am satisfied that I do not need any more medicine, as T .am in as good heaith as I ever was In my life. So says Mrs. Mary Engelhard of 2835 Madison strest, St. Louls, Mo., to a re- porter of the St. Louls Globe-Democrat. “‘For more than ten years 1 suffered with what the doctors termed female trouble; also heart trouble, with swelling of the feet and limbs. Last summer I felt so badly that I thought I had not long to live. I consulted doctor after doctor and took their medicines, but felt no better. A friend recommended me to try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and I must say I derived immense benefit almost from the first week. I ccntinued the medicine, taking it regularly, and I am now in splendid health. The pains and aches have all gone. I have recommended Swamp-Root to all my friends, and told them what it has done for me. I will gladly answer any one who desires to write me regarding my case. I most heartily indorse Swamp-Root from every standpoint. There fs such a pleasant taste to Swamp-Root, and it goes right to the weak spots and drives them out of the system.” %u%a,yw “About 18 months ago 1 had a very severe spell of sickness. for three weeks, and when I finally was able to leave my bed I was left with excruclating pains in mry back. My water at times looked very like coffee. a time, and then only after suffering great pain.

The doctors never told me I had anything the matter of my kidueys, but T did not know for sure. ‘Some doctors pronounced my case gall stones, and sald I could not live without a sur- gical operation, to which I would never con- sent. A friend suggested I try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. I began to take Swamp-Roct regularly. and when I had used only three 50- cent botties I felt fine and was able to do more work than I had done In four years. It has made a new woman of me. I have had only one slight attack since I began to take Swamp- Root, and that was caused by being drenched with'rain and catching cold. Stomach trouble had bothered me for years and had become chronic. I am now 44 years of age and feel much younger than I did ten years ago. I freely give this testimonial for the benefit of those who have suffered as I have.” La . & Pocllore Proprietress of Criswell House, 211 W. Fifth st., Kansas City, Mo. Sample Bottle of Swamp=-Root Sent Free. If you have the slightest symptoms of kidney, liver or bladder_trouble, or if there is & trace of it in your family history, send at once to Dr. Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton, N. Y., who will gladly send you by mail, immediately, without cost to you, a sample bottle of the wonderfu:l remedy, Swamp-Root, and a book con- taining many of the housands upon thousands of testimonial letters received from men and women cured by Swamp-Root. In writing be sure to say that you read this generous offer in the San Francisco Daily Call. Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney and Bladder Troubles. It used to be considered that only uri- nary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs. The kidneys filter and purify the blood— that is their work. So when your kidneys are weak or out of order you can under- stand how quickly your entire body is af- fected, and how every organ seems to fail to do its duty. If you are sick or “feel badly,” begin taking the famous new discovery, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health. A trial will convince any ore. Many women suffer untold misery becawse the nature of their disease is mot correctly understood; in most cas:s they are led fo bzlieve that womb trouble or femals weakness of soms sort is responsible for ther many ills, when in fact disorder:d kidneys ars the chief cause of their disiressing troubles. Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy or dark circles under the eyes, rheuma- tism, a dragging pain or dull ache in the back, weakness or bearing down sensa- tion, profuse or scanty supply of urine, with strong odor, frequent desire to pass it night or day, with scalding or burning sensation—these are all unmistakable signs of kidney and bladder trouble. If there is any doubt in your mind as to your condition, take from your urine on rising about four ounces, place it in a glass or bottle and let it stand twenty- four hours. If on examination it is milky or cloudy, if there is a brick dust settliag. or if small particles float about in it, your kidneys are in need of immediate atten- tion. Other symptoms showing that you need iSwamp-Ruot are sleeplessness, dizziness, irregular heart, breathlessness, sallow, unhealthy complexion, plenty of ambi- tion, but no strength. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is used in the leading hospitals, recom- mended by physicians in their private practice, and is taken by doctors them- selves, because they recognize in it the greatest and most successtul remedy that science has ever been able to compound. If you are already convinced that Swamp-Root is what you need, you can purchase the regular fifty-cent and ome- dollar bottles at the drug stores every- where. 12—Schr Nokomis, for Port Townsend: schr Maggie C Russ, for Port Townsend; bktn Irm- gard, for San Francisco.
