Before attempting to land anbody, hos all hands piped to breakfast and everybody ate a good square meal before facing the passage of the tumultuous wa- ters that lay between ship and shore. LANDING ACCOMPLISHED. The landing was accomplished quickly Most of the pas- were satisfled to be on shore, sengers where they were made comfortable until | arrangements can be mude elther to send them on to their destinations or, return them to this city. Two of them, however, tramped across country until they struck e raliroad, where they took the train for S8an Franclsco. Up to a late hour last night Swayne & Hoyt had received no report of the disaster from Captain Bash. They are at a loss to acount for his being so far off his course and are inclined to hold him responsible. The Alblon River is a new vessel and her owners had a big season’s work mapped out for her. They expect to get her off and i commission again and if they fail in this the loss to them | will be quite as substantial as it will be impossible to replace the Alblon River without considerable delay. Bhe is a vessel of 18 tons net. She ‘s 137.1 feet Jong, 3117 feet beam and 10.4 feet in depth. She was bullt at Everett in 1802 and was owned by the Albion River Bteamship Company. Swayne and Hoyt of this city are her managers. She is valued at $50,000. Her commander was Captain Bash. John Hagan was chief officer and J. lie- gan chief engineer. While Captain Bash has the reputation of being a careful na- Vigator this is not the first time he has landed his charge on the rocks..

Ll ri From Mrs. Hutton and Mrs. Hart at Salt Lake City comes new and interesting in- formation In regard to the visit of the | former's husband, Police Commissioner H. W. Hutton, to Utah's capital last week. If the facts are as represented, the Police Commissioner will be placed in a light which would seem to demand |an explanation. In the capacity of a public official, he has plaged to the gal- lery as an exponent of morality. His | wife's allegations would lead a disinter- | ested observer to_infer that he himself | lives in a glass house. | Mrs. Hutton has written to a friend in | this city that her husband, in company | with a man who purported to be Detec- | tive Martin, woke her up in her room at | the Manitou Hotel and attempted to bull- | doze her into returning to San Francisco. | They are said to have told her that she must come, nolens volens. She asserteq | that both had evidently been drinking to a considerable extent and that she was greatly alarmed | Mrs. Hart happened to be on the'scene | and sent immediately for Attorney Rog- ers. The last named told the unwelcome visitors that s, Hutton could remain where she was under the law of Utah, | and that if she returned to San Francisco | with Hutton it would be only by order | of the courts. The visitors were insistent, | but were finally convinced that their ef- | forts were useless and left the premises. PRAYS FOR RELIEF. | After recounting the circumstances of | the whole distressing affalr, the unfortu- | nate woman, in her letter, gives utterance | to a prayer that she may forevermore be | free from the ‘‘curses and browbeating | of that man.” She refers frequently in a | | pathetic way to his alleged abuses of her. | In closing, she states that she is unalter- ably determined to carry out her original purpose of taking her own money and | leaving her husband to his own devices. | Mrs. Hart also wrote to a friend corrob- | orating the story of the visit of Hutton | and his comvanion In detail. | Captain Martin asserted last night that nefther he nor his subordinates hed accompanled the Police Commissioner | to Sait Lake City. He said also that h gaged in detective work in this city. 1 added that if any one had represented | himself in Salt Lake City-as the San| | | ‘l‘rm\rls«‘n Chief of Detectives the man | was an impostor.

The docu- ment was filed late Wednesday afternoon. | Chiet Justice Beatty's indorsement of the | petition is as follows: “This proceeding | is dismissed for reasons which will be ! | stated in an opinion to be filed.” | 1f such petitions emanate from a rep- ‘\xlahlv- source and state cause sufficient | for action it is the custom of the court | to grant the accuser at least a prelimin- | | ary hearing.

With proper knowledge, each hour of recreation, of enjoyment and of effort may be made to contribute to that end and are of not less value than the using of the most wholesome foods and the selecting of the best medicinal agents when needed. With the well-informed, medicinal agents are used only when nature needs assistance and while the importance of cleansing the system effectually, when bilious or constipated, has long been known, yet until within recent years it was necessary to resort to oils, salts, extracts of roots, barks and other cathartics which were found to be objectionable and to call for constantly increased quantities. Then p%yddna having learned that the most excellent laxative and carminative principles were to be found in certain plants, prin ly in the leaves, the California Fig Syrup Co. discovered a method of obtaining such principles in their purest condition and of presenting them with pleasant and refreshing liq,uids' in the form most acceptable to the system and the remedy beame. known as— Syrup of Figs—as figs were used, with the plants, in making it, because of their agreeable taste.

GONTENDS LINES ARE COMPETING Foraker Ends Argument in Keene Ipjunc- tion Suit. NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 3 —Senator Foraker, representing the complainants in the injunction case of Talbot J. Taylor vs. the Southern Pacific and Unifon Pa- cific rallway companies, which has been before the United States Circuit Court for the past three days, con- cluded his argument at 11:30 o’clock this morning. Judge Lurton thereupon an- nounced that he would take the bill and answers under advisement and would file his decisfon with the clerk of the United States Circult Court at Loulsville, Ky., on Monday next, the case falling within the Western Kentucky District. The court then adjourned and the distin- gulshed counsel who have been in attend- ance left for their various homes to-day. The court insisted that the matter of competition between the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific be clearly established. Judge Lurton asked Senator Foraker in the course of counsel's argument to state what other relief was desired if an injunction was not granted as prayed. Senator Foraker replied that the injunc- tion was asked to prevent the voting of the stock held by the Union Pacific at the coming meeting on Apuril 8 and to prohibit the leasing or severing of the Central Pacific. The speaker said that { | GRAMPUS WING ON EVERY RUN First Official Trial of| New Torpedo-Boat Is a Success. The third day of the official trials of the new submarine torpedo boats was an un- qualified success in every particular. Conditions for the run were all that could | be desired. The positions of the buoys. | which were somewhat obscure on the | first two days, were emphasized by boats | carrying large brown and yellow eails, | which were plainly discernible by the | shore observers, so that no difficulty | occurred in getting actual time. | It was the first time that the Grampus | had her innings and she acquitted ner- | self to splendld advantage, beating the Government requirements In every in-| stance, and meeting the entire approval | of her builders. First came the submerged trial over the same course as used on the preceding days, three double half miles, this time on account of the slack tide the starting | point belng the buoy nearest Hunters | Point. She was in command of Captain | F. T. Cable, who had become thoroughly conversant with the strong currents that set in on that portion of the bay and she was handled with consummate skill and care. Being entirely submerged steering | was done by compass, and so accurate had been the observations that she in- | verlably arose from the depths in exact- | Iy the position that had previously been | They . the greatest | | both roads had a common terminus at | Portland and that they are competitors in | transcontinental traffic. The affidavit of Traflic Manager Stubbs was read that if | the Union Pacific wished to divert busi- | ness from the Southern Pacific it could be | done by changing the tariffs. Senator Foraker said no better proof of them being competitive lines could be given and that by a change of rates Qusi- ness\could be diverted to the Union Pa- | cific. indicated. Propelled by her electric motor only, | her diving mast surmounted by a s red and white flag, which was vistble above the surface, she flew through the | water at a fine pace, with the result that | she scored 7 3-10 knots, which gave her 3-10 knots above Uncle Sam's require- | | ments. In this trfal the Government ' was represented by Lieutenant Comman- | der George H. Stafford and Assistant Naval Constructor L. S. Adams. “If they are competing lines,” said Sena- tor Woraker, “what arc the rights of bona fide majority stockholders? This suit was brought to ascertain the rights of stock- holders and complainants argue and in- sist that the corporation should have a board of directors free from the touch or | influencs of any other line and who would | be devoted to the interests of the South- ern Pacific Company.” While this injunction was seeking to prevent the execution of a contract, said Senator Foraker, the complainants con- tend that this contract Is illegal. There was no redress of the wrong done by one corporation to another unless the action complamned of was illegal and there would have been no lllegality in this contract had it been entered into between the di- rectors of both companies, acting solely for the public Interests they represented. 'The defendants had said they had no intention of severing the Central Pacific from the Southern Pacific, yet they had spent $20,000,000 in improving it. They wanted a’ thorough transcontinental line from Chicago to San Francisco. Certain improvements had been made, but not one word had been said in court concern- ing them. The earnings of the Southern Pacific, over and above operating ex- penses and fixed charges, were being spent on improvements and these sums amounted to many millions. The cut-off in Salt Lake, said Sena- tor Foraker, would cost $13,000,000, and yet the defendants came Into court with- Sut saying a word about it or the great unnel through the Slerras. He spoke of he recent fall of a section of the cut-off into the lake to show the impracticability of the scheme. BECOVEEY IN SHARES. Southern Pacific Stock Rally Gives Rise to Rumor. NEW YORK, April 3—The only local feature of interest to-day in the Southern Pacific controversy was a recovery in the shares in the last hour. The rally seemed based on'reports that J. P. Morgan had consented to settle matters by taking over the Keene holdings. These reports were promptly denled in every authoritative quarter, a member of the Morgan firm making this statement: There is no truth whatever in the report that Mr. Morgan or the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co. have taken over from James R. Keene, or T. J, Taylor & Co. any Southern Paclfic At the conclusion of the trial, during which she was practically submerged two hours and twenty minutes, she came tc the surface and In less than utes had resumed her tions. The T was opened from the inside and the nuav- igators crawled up througgh the small aperture and stepped upon the limitca deck space, after which the boat proceed- ed to her moorings to have her super- structural deck placed in position for her second run. In this second trial she was in awash condition and although she ran in a fresh breeze and with choppy sea to combat, she made 7 61-100 knots, 61-100 knots in ex- | cess of requirements. Several waves | washed completely over her and she was constantly enveloped in flying spray, | which drenched the officers up to thelr waists. In this event she was in command ot Lieutenant H. H. Morrell. The trials to-day will consist of stan- dardizing the Pike submerged and stan- dardizing the Grampus in light condition. It is expected that the torpedo firing wili take place Monday.
