PACIFIC COAST.
Story of the Arctic Whalers
MisfOrtunes.
The STORM OF AUGUST THIRD.
The Wrecked Vessels Catch
of Whales-EXperts and the
Chester Disaster.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
SAN Francisco, September 6.-Tht
story of the wreck OF the Arctic whaling
fleet is substantially as follows:
During the latter part of July the Arc
tic fleet kept we'll together, while work
ing to the north and east of Behrins
Straits. Much ice was encountered, the
season was late, but few whales were
seen, and finally the vessels reached
Point Barrow, having caught compare
lively nothing. The long Arctic day was
spent in spent in searching for an open
ing to the north, but without avail, and
the evening of August I'd found about
thirty steamers and barks riding at an
chor somewhat southerly of Point Bar
row. Towards evening a brisk breeze
set in from the southwest, and with it
the sea grew heavier and heavier, and
by 6 O'Clock the following morning
the masters of the vessels were con.
vinced that it would be sheer
folly to seek shelter from the storm
where they were, and the wind blowing
towards Point Barrow; all anchors were
weighed and the vessels turned the Point
where they were seemingly sheltered
from the storm. All day OF the Sd the
gale blew with undiminished violence,
whipping the sea into foaming, seeth-
ing mass. Suddenly towards night, the
wind again changed, exposing the whal-
ers to the utm ost fury of the sea. The
vessels were anchored comparatively near
the shore. The steamers at once put
into deeper water but with the sailing
vessels some Of the anchors would not
come loose. Some were lost altogether,
ond with only few minutes warning the
unfortunate ships were tossing about in
the breakers occasionally striking with
tremendous force on the bottom.
The Young Ph@nix's crew couldn't
weigh anchor rapidly enough, and she
struck again and again, till with the hull
all smashed she drifted to the eastward
at the mercy of the storm. The Mary
and Susan didn't get loose at all, but
thumped the bottom till the storm was
over. She was total wreck. The
Fleetwing finally got free and was cast
ward a few miles, totally wrecked. and
her crew were saved by the steam
whalers.
The Jane Gray became unmanageable,
AVID was cast against huge cake of ice,
and though finally headed for the An
drew Hicks, sank before she reached
that vessel Her crew were picked up.
A long list of minor disa ters are re-
corded and the whaling men can remem-
Der no such disastrous season for years,
except that of about a year ago, when
the whole feet was last.
The catch at the latest accounts had
been only twenty-five whales, when last
year over three hundred were taken.
The steamer Orca alone caught more
than the fleet has done this year.
The young Phoenix had taken one
whale which had been transferred to
the tender before the disaster.

MINNESOTA REPS.
Their Platform and Nominations
Contest for the GOverncrship.

ST. PAUL, September 6.-The platform
submitted to the Republican State Con
vention this morning endorses the
National ticket, points with pride to the
results achieved under the State high
license law, declares uncompromisingly
in favor of American protection, but ad-
heres to the repeated declaration OF
State and National platforms in favor OF
modification, readjustment and re-
ductlon of the tariff, and reiterates the
views of the Republican Presidents,
Garfield and Arthur, upon the same sub
iect, as we'll as the recommendation Of
the commission appointed under the last
Republican administration. 1t declares
that the reductions should be made with
care not to iniure existing industries,
putting on the free list articles of prime
necessity which enter into the ordinary
consum ption of the people. 1t favors
civil service; demands the enforcement
of the interstate commerce law; de-
nounces the attempt Of the Democrats
to coerce the Senate into the ratification
of the fisheries treaty; denounces Cleve'
lands foreign policy as vacillating; de-
clares that the delay in the admission of
Dakota is selfish and dishonest; favors a
liberal treatment of the war veterans
declares hostility to trusts recommends
the Australian system of voting; de-
mands a revision of the immigration and
naturalization laws and stricter en-
forcement of the contract labor law
welcomes those disfranchised in the
South on account of race to homes in
Minnesota, and sympathizes with the
Irish home rule movement.
Gen. Barrett presented a minority re-
port, but the platform as read was adopt
ed. The Convention then proceeded to
the nomination of State ticket.
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
James Gilfllan and Associate Justice l..
W. Collins were renominated by accla-
melton.

The beautiful foothill suburb of Los Angeles
at Cahuenga Pass is higher than the highest

in fact we never irrigate this foothil land. 1t

This railroad is running in connection with the

WORDS FROM OTHERS.
Governor Green, of New Jersey, then
devoted himself to tribute to Thurman,
and next to discussion of the tariff.
He applied himself chiefly to the denial
of the statement that reduction of the
tariff means free trade.
A letter of regret from Senator Voor-
hees was read. In it was this sentence:
"Tell Judge Thurman | love him and
pray God to bless him."
Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, next
spoke. "For awhile the Republicans
said we were cowards," said he, ''but l
beg my countrymen tonight to look into
the chambers of their consciences and
say who are towards now. We have laid
the gage of battle down. The Democratic
party has passed tax reduction bill
which the Senate dare not touch. The
Republican Senate thought they could
bully and win the sympathies of Ameri
can citizens by rejecting the
Fisheries treaty, but they got
a Roland Nor an Oliver. They
decided to reject that treaty on Tuesday,
and on Thursday Grover Cleveland said
Very we'll, gentlemen, you have rejected
the treaty and reverted to hostile meth
ods. If war comes under your decree,
war it shall be; give me the legislation |
and will carry out your Decree"
Patrick A. Collins. of Boston, and |
John McSweeney, of Ohio, followed with |
short speeches. and the meeting was
closed with local speakers.
Allen w. Thurman sent this dispatch |
TO his mother at Columbus late tonight: : |
'If you see reports in the morning paper
about father being sick, don't be alarm
ed. 1t is simply an old fashioned case
Of cholera morbus, and he is all right |
now."
An Associated Press representative
called on Judge Thurman about 10 o'clock
.o-night and found him fast asleep and
apuarently enjoying his slumber.

SAN Francisco, September 6.-At the
examination of the City of Chester dis
aster to-day before the Pilot Commission
ers, Captain Erskine, of the steamer St.
Paul, testified that he would not bring
his ship into port in fog, especially if
the flood tide was running, and if he
could not see more than 2OOyards ahead.
John F. Freeman, Marine Inspector,
and Capt. Ferdinand Westall, of the
United States Coast Survey, testified to
the same effect.
Capt. E. N. Freeman, Port Inspector
of Pilots, thought it would take the Oce-
anic five minutes to stop and back after
sighting the Chester.
Commodore Nicoll Ludlow, of the
United States Navy, said ne did not con-
slider it prudent to bring in ships like the
Oceanic in foggy weather.
After some further testimony the court
adjourned.

EXCHANGE REVIEW.
NEW YORK, September 6.-The stock market
was unusually active in the forenoon, but re-
lapsed into intense dullness after that, and
while well held became heavy to weak later in
the day. There was pronounced disposition
on the part of the bears to hammer
the market, and realizations in coal stocks
which were very heavy, also led to
selling other stocks close and fairly
steady at or near the lowest prices of the day.
With exception OF the Oregon Navigation,
which rose per cent, the entire active list is
lower this evening, though outside of st Paul.
which lost 11a, and Rock Island, the losses are
fractional amounts only.
Government bonds were quiet and steady.
Petroleum opened weak, 94ssc; declined
steadily until the last few minutes, when
slight reaction occurred on which the market
closed steady at 9234c.
