slGre About the Rosenre!d

The beautiful ship John RosepfeId is
no more. The last reports from the
wreck are that she broke in two acros,
the reef Her mainmast has gone bY the
board, and the fore and mizzen are ready
to follow.
She was on her way from Nanaimo tc
sea with nearly 1000 tons coal on board
IN tow of tug Tacoma. and grounded on
q reef making off from Jumbo island,
near East Point, Gulf Of Georgia, on the
morning of the 18th inst. The tide vns
high, and it commenced to fall soon after
the ship grounded, leaving her wedged
between two large rocks, with Il smaller
one apparently under her bilge. Ii was
q short run out OF the tide, and, though
the noble ship groEned under her heavy
cargo of coal in her deathly grip, the tide
left her water borne at both ends, and
she returned to her shape as the tide
came in again. All that was possible
was done to tighten the vessel; about
l50 tons Of coal was thrown overheard
by the crew. The British tug Alexander
passed them with the ship Glory Of the
Seas in tow, but refused to help the
doomed vessel.
When the tide was once more at its
height all was done by the Tacoma to
dislod2e her from the rocks, and it was
not until the tide commenced to fall that
all hopes of saving her were given up
and preparations were made to dismantle
her. Fortunately for those on board
from the time they left Nanaimo to the
latest reports from her, the weather con.
tinued propItious.
The John Rosenfeld was built in Bath
Maine, by Sewal & Co., launched in Au,
gust, 1894, of 226S tons, three decks
1858 feet in length, Al feet beam, and
2S.6 feet depth OF hold. She was built
of the best material, finished and fur
nished throughout equal to above the
average of American ships, and was val
ued at S125,000. Capt. Baker, her mas
ter, owned an interest in her amounting
to $4,000, and the 1st officer, young
son of Mr.. Sewall, had an interest OF
$4,000. The rest of the vessel was owned
by her builders and John Rosenfeld, OF
San Francisco. We are not informed
that there was any insurance on this fine
ship.
Capt. Cameron, the master of the tug
Tacoma, stated that his boat to5k hold
OF the ship Oh the evening of the 18th,
for the purpose of towing her to2sea.
Capt. Baker said, in the course of con-
versation, he hoped all necessary pre-
cautions would be taken to guard against
accident, as he had his all invested in
the ship. with this in mind" said Capt.
Cameron, I'VE gave every point wide
berth. The night was clear and the
Gulf OF Georgia smooth. When off Fraser
river, at a. m, seeing everything clear,

lug Tacoma returned Yesterday from
the wreck of the ship John Rosepfeld,
with the anchors, chains. sails. stores
and other articles belonging to the i'll
tated vessel. Upon the arrival of the
tug Capt. Baksr libeled her in the sum
OF SloO, eco, the value Of the John Rossn-
field; The deputy marshal took charge
OF her, and last evening proceeded to
Seattle with her under telegraphic in-
structlons from his principal. 1t is pre-
sumed the object was to have appraisers
appointed and give bonds Messrs.
bradshaw II Sachs, OF this city, are at
torneys for Capt Baker. As usual, there
is an attempt on the part of the Portland
papers to chow that the wreck was
chargeaoie to dangers of navigation in
our waters. One Of them says, at will
probably be found that the wreck was
caused by dangerous currents, etc )"
Everybody knows that If the tug had
steered clear of the reef tha ship would
have been safe. Tie fact that Captain
Cameron's excuse is that he was asIeep
and that the mate was to blame, and that
the captain has asked TO be relieved from
command Of the tug, shows.
Steamer Queen of the Pacific arrived
last evening from Seattle with a small

Albatross to the Pacific coast to do her
part in working ont the fishery problems

would have to be supplied with new

Senator Miller, Dolph, Harrison

here last summer, promised their aid tc

1t would be productive Of great pub.
lie benefit were the legislature to pass
/ aw requiring district judges TO hold
alternate " in an adjoining district, and
the act SHOULD specify the district " herein
they shall hold. hat Ia the use Of such
d law? Ii never should be forgotten
that judges are human beings. and more
or less burlened with the intrmities of
human nature. Men are prone TO be un-
consciously influenced by friendship OF
prejudice; sometimes one or more law
yers acquire too great an influence over
judges, while others DO not possess the
least bit Of influence; consequently il is
wise for the legislature to require judges
to exchange with each other. When
thrown among strangers, the judges will
be free from attachments and preju-
dices. Nine men out of ten are uncOn-
sciously Influenced by their proposes
siOns, or antipathies, even where they
labor TO steer clear Of any such influ-
enoe, Such a law, as is here recon-
mended, could not possibly do any harm,
and there is a reasonable and WELL
grounded prospect of Its doing much
good.
There is no sort of doubt that jul tees
of the peace should be empowered to
try and finally dispose of all small often
ses. All misdemeanOrs, all thefts under
$50, and all offenses for keeping disOr-
derby houses. The defendants should
be tried by twelve men, sitting as
jury. Men charged with penal ofienses
are entitled to be speedily tried. At
present men have to lsnguish in jail for
months simply because they cannot give
the bail bond required, and the feeding
OF them Is burdensome to taxpayers.
The law requiring unanimity from
juries where they convict parties, Is the
chief cause of the escape Of so many red
handed Rurderers. and should be so
amended as to authorize nine jurors to
return a verdict. 30 long as twelve
jurors are required to concur in the YER
dict it will be in the power of any one
juror to hinder verdict and to occasion
a mistrial, and the knowledge of this
fact lie great temptation to rich GRIM
inals to resort to the bribery Of one of
the jurors.
The law in Delaware allows nine ju-
rOrs 10 return a verdict in civil and
trials, and its practical opera
