SAN Francisco, September 23d. = [Spe-
cial. Word was received at the Mer-
chants Exchange to-day that the schooner
Pet, of this port, had gone ashore at North
Heads. No particulars of the wreck could
be obtained at the time, but shortly after
wards the schooner Sarah Alexander, Cap
tain Cousins, which left here this morning
for Salt Point, returned to port, having on
board the Captains wife and three men
composing the crew of the schooner Pet,
and having the Pets boat in tow.
1t was found that one of the men, named
Henry Wuhrmann, had been injured Sc
verely when the vessel struck the rocks,
and was suffering greatly. On landing,
the Captains wife and crew stated that the
schooner left here for Albion river on
Saturday noon, and during the evening,
when outside, it fell calm and she began to
drift. Fearing that if the wind did not
spring up the vessel would be dashed on
the rocks, Captain Purcher ordered the crew
into the boat, with his wife, and he himself
stuck by the vessel, hoping that if the wind
sprang up he might save her, which he
could do es well without as with the crew.
The boat stayed by the schooner awhile
and then pulled out to sea and was picked
up by the schooner Sarah Alexander,
which was sailing out of the harbor, as
stated, and brought it to Meiggs' wharf

FREIGHT TARIFFS.
The Interstate Commission to Insuir,

Into the New Overland Rates.
CHICAGO, September 23d-The obiec-
tons made by merchants and manu-
facturers at the course pursued by the
transcontinental roads in fixing the new
tariffs has caused the Interstate Commerce
Commission to investigate the matter with
out waiting for formal complaint to be
made. Commissioner Walker has taken
the matter IN hand and is now collecting
evidence on which to base a decision.
Walker, who has given the question of
transcontinental rates much thought,
wrote the decision in the well-known Den
yer case, which is taken by the Southern
and Central Pacific as authority for
making the present discrimintive rates.
He has sent two messages to
Chairman MidgIey of the Pacific
Coast Association asking for The tariffs and
circulars now in effect and showing the
rates or rules for making rates from the
Atlantic seaboard to Intern ediate points on
transcontinental lines FROM Buffalo, De-
troit, Chicago and the Mississippi river, and
from the Pacific coast to Colorado, Kansas
and Nebraska, and any other information
necessary to give him q complete under
standing of the situation.
Midgely has complied with the request,
to the extent of making statement of the
matter lTODl nlS SlauupOfnt- lie lDIOrmtQ
Commissioner Walker that the members of
the TranscontiDental Association were il
session at San francisco when his
(Walker's) opinion was received in tie
Denver case, whersupen they adjourned 20
meet in ST. Paul, the understanding being
that within sixty days they must get their
tariffs to conform to the opinions ex-
pressed in the Denver decision. 2hey
understood that the disparities in classifca-
ton on intermediate snd Pacific coast busi-
ness were to be removed, and that tariff
rates between Eastern points and the Pa
cific coast should establish the maximum
to be charged for intermediate haals.
The Southern Pacific, which--from il!
commanding position on the Eeeific Coas
largely determines the course to be pur
sued by the transcontinentsl lines, az
noanced at the St. Paul Eaeeting that i
| had decided to conform to she views sut
lined in the Denver decision. The sarif

WASHINGTON, September 23d.--The or
der of business in Cang1 ess this week is
somewhat uncertain. In the House it is
probable that several ur.i,st 'ortant measures
may be passed by unapila0h consent. An
effort will be made to pU5 tEf oush the bill
appropriating 100000 for tire relief OF the
yellow fever sufferers. The sundry civil
appropriation bill will come mp for final
consideration on the report of t,1e Confer
ence Committee, and Representa- eCrain' s
trust resolution VIII be discussed. The h.
brary investigation will be conGa1, I'd.
In the Senate it is expected that n event
of the week will be the report of tsl, tariff
bill 10 the full FiSsnce Comnittee, which
has it in charge. The bill has Been p rom
lsed SO often, however, that doubts as TO
its immediate appearance are ertertaJZ ed.
The Finance Committee has engaged to
give hearings to several interested inSS5 s.
tries before the bill is reported. ,Fhe III i

and some changes weFs suggested ty tSt

A discussion on Shermau's antitrust
bill, and the legislation for the admission

WASHINGTON, September 23d.-The Ser
ate has left no unfinished business, and tn Ell
order in which this weeks expected events |
may come up is problematical. The weeks |
programme includes the passage of the
general deficiency bill, hundred or more |
private pension bills, and final action upon |
the suDdry civil bill
No legislative business is likely to be ac- |
complished by the House this week, beyond |
action upon the two appropriation bills |
remaining undisposed of. They are the
sundry civil bill and the general deficiency
bill, which has not yet been acted upon by
the Senate, but which is expected to reach !
the House during the week. Unless the
first-named measure is reached before
Tuesday it will be necessary TO adopt an
other resolution extending the appropria-
ton carried by the bill
The bill making an appropriation for the
relief of the yellow fever sufferers is also
likely to be reported from the Appropria-
ton Committee, and the effort to secure
consideration for it will doubtless result in
some lively proceedings, as the opposition,
though confined to one or two members, is
very determined

PORTLAND (Or.), September 23d.-Van
TassePs balloon ascent and his wife's de-
scent from hight of 1000 feet did not
materialize worth a cent to-day The bal
loon was filled with gas in the city and was
to be taken to City View Park, three miles
up and across the river, by means of
barge. While endeavoring to place the
balloon on the barge they had to cross a
slippery boom of logs, and many lei go
their hold. The result of that was that
Van Tassei and two young men named
John Murphy and David. Kafka we're en-
tangled in the ropes and all were dropped
into the river, Murphy falling from hight
of thirty feet. All got ashore and none
were hurt.
The balloon rose to a hight of 10000 feet
and went a distance of nine miles south
west, where it caught fire and was totally
consumed. 1t is supposed the fire caught
in the rope when the balloon ives passing
over some burning sawdust, when trying
to place it on the barge. The fire took
some time to reach the balloon, but when
it did it played havoc The loss on the
balloon is $1,000 and on the gas $3.50. Van
Tassel owned the balloon.

CORRECTING AN EVE.

Bills From the President.
WASHINGTON, September 23d.-The Chi
nese exclusion bill was not signed by the
President yesterday, and it is not thought
that he will take action on it till toward
the end of next week.
There is very decided feeling here m
favor of the immediate revision of the
House rules to prevent arepetition of Mr..
Kilgore's action in holding back the Chi
nese exclusion bill. There does not ap-
pear to be much difference of opinion on
the matter, 18th hsnannrats and RenuhIi-
cans favor it. Now that it has served the
purposes of Mr.. Cleveland, the evils that
might arise from such assumption of power
are SO well known that discussion is un-
necessary.
Congressman Payson, who rendered such
efficient aid TO the California men in their
efforts to knock out the obstinate Texan,
said to- night he would frame bill and try
to have the House consider it. The bill
will place limit on the time for holding
bills in the committee for enrolling. He
thinks this will check the evil ard prevent
the farce of one man thwarting the will OF
both Houses from ever occurring again.

Alleged Revolt Among the Democrats

New York, September 24th.-The Tribune
this morning says: A revolt of the most
determined and widespread character ex-
lists in the ranks of the Democracy in this
State, largely, though not entirely, due to
the position taken by Cleveland and his
party on the tariff. The detection extends
throughout the State, from Roses Point to
Buffalo, and from Lake Erie to the sea. 1t
is much greater, or more pronounced, in
some places than others, but there is
scarcely a village or township whereof
there is not an open revolt of the ablest
men in the party-there is unmistakable
evidence of intense dissatisfaction.

STOCKTON, September 23d.-All Stockton
is wild tonight. The grand stand at the
| baseball grounds was packed by crowd
that yelled themselves hoarse to see the
Stocktons pass the Haverlys in the League
race by score of to l. 1t was great ball
from the start brilliant plays succeeding
each other in rapid succession, and
the pitchers were hit harder than
the score would imply. Meegan dropped
his sobriquet of STEADY Pete" his delivery
sending four men to first and allowing
eight hits, none being of the chance order.
Wehrle had great command of the ball.
He was sized for five hits and Hayes was
the only man making an error that was
not excusable and he made two vile ones.
ODay and Gagus rivaled each other on
second base, while Whitehead PLAYED third
in his accustomed style. Selma saved the
Stocktons in the field at least two errors by
his magnificent stops.
StalliDgs and Ebright were perfect in
their support, but Stellings proved the
greater with the bat, rapping out three
singles. Stockwell scored in the first inning
on an unaccepted chance, Whitehead's out
and Stalling's hit. Meegan scored the
Haverly's only run in the third Two
hits, three base overthrows by Hanly and
errors by Hayes and Levy in the third
inning allowed the Stocktons to score
three runs.
After that the best ball ever seen on the
Stockton grounds was played. In many
close decisions Sheridan accomplished the
phenomenal feat of pleasing both sides and
the grand stand.

men took the engineer to open the door,
and as soon as his head peered into the
open space, Bud West mistaking him for
one of the robbers. fired one barrel of his
shotgun, and the engineer fell back with
an ugly wound in his cheek.
The bandits then tried to make the fire
man serve like purpose, and when West
sighted the fireman he discharged the other
barrel of his gun, but fortunately missed
the fireman.
The bandits then returned the fire, and
no less than fifty shots were exchanged,
when the robbers fled, carrying two of their
wounded with them.
There were ten in the gang. They will
