A iisticuff in the HERALD Office, by

tion-Philliys County News.
Yes, tramp printer came in to the
HERALD office, last Saturday, and in-
sisted upon being permitted to run the
office. When informed that his servi-
ces and presence were not needed IN
the Office, instead Of quietly retiring
from the scene OF action, he proceeded
10 call the fighting editor some very
uncomplimentary names, whereupon
the said fighting editor straigtened out
his arm couple Of times In the direc-
tion OF the said tramp who thereupon
made his exit In very hasty and I'M
digniiied manner not even taking time
To say good day. AS To whether this
occurrence caused any sensation on
the part of the tramp print, this Office
has not been Informed, but no doubt II
did, rs Williams says II did.

ADRIFT AT SEA.
PeIew Islanders Pick ed Up by The
Joseph S. Spinney.
Awful suffsrings of Seven Men = Eighteen
Days in a Dugout Without Food or
Water-Death of the King.

A great object of interest that has OF late
attracted the attention of people whose
business takes them to the water front is a
pecular-looking craft that lies upturned on
the boat-skids of the American ship Joseph
S. Spinney, which is at Steuart-street
Wharf taking in a cargo OF general mer-
chandise for New York.
The novel craft may be called an out
rigger or catamaran, but it is a genuine
"dugout," being hewn out of a solid piece
of wood. 1t is thirty feet long by fifteen
inches beam. Clea IS are stretched across
like thwarts, on which rowers can Sit and
at either end are raised pieces. evidently in
tended for ornament, which are attached to
the main structure by fiber cords. At the
bottom of the forward end pieces of wood
are dashed, in which a mast may be stepped.
There is quite history attached to the
canoe, or dugout, as will be seen by the fol-
lowing story told By Captain Frank
Curling of the Spinney:
STARVING TO DEATH.
1--WE were on our way" said Captain
Curling, from Philadelphia to Kobe,
Japan. and on December II, 1889. we were
about 30 miles off the Pelew-or Pala0-
Islands, which are part of the Caroline

Political matters In Chile were anything but
assuring at tile time the San Juan left Panama
The following paragraph from leading article
in the Star and Herald gives some light on them:
The spectacle now presented IN Chile Is per-
haps unique in the history OF overnments. The
Congress- Tor reasons to be presently explained,
having passed by an overwhelming majority
vote OF ceBsure" on q new Ministry, all the
official acts OF which were in the region of
futurty, the Ministers refuse to appear IN either
Chamber, whilst President Balmaceda Will not
form a new Cabinet. Congress, however, goes
Oh leglslating without the Ministry, ana with an
opposition in both Chambers capable OF carry
Ing out their own sweet wli-at least up TO the
point OF the Presidents veto. Que OF these
measures has been q motion not TO pass the
customary bill to authorize the collection of
the taxes until new and acceptable Cabinet
shall have been appointed.
This curious position Is the direct result of the
strained relations existing between the ENecu-
live and Congress on The one hand and the Pre,i-
Denial and opposition parties on The other For
these strained relations il would seem that the
President is not biameless, he having, in the face
OF the opposition OF practically unanimous
public opinion, persisted IN nominating his sue
eesSOr III accordance with traditional usage. The
strain this OccasiOned was intensified by The fact
that the Presidents nominee issued a circular
declining to accept the Office OF President where
upon the President appointed him TO the portfo-
lilo of the INTERIOR or the Premiership. 1t was
this which elected the vote of ceusure on an un-
tried Ministry, and the almost unanlmity OF
which clearly Indicates how extreme was the
feeling OF resentment and opposition.

Intemperanee.
Judge Lawler was busy much of the fore
noon yesterday hearing the disgusting and
filthy details of the divorce case, wherein
Charles Richardson sought a separation
from Mary Richardson on the ground of
her intemperance. These two unfortunates
were married in Empire City, Oregon, in
December, 1879, and TWO children. Lottie
aged 9, and Amelia aged .. are the fruits of
the marriage. Aside from being dreadfully
addicted to the use of liquor, the husband
testified that she was foul-mOuthed, obscene
and cruel The little daughter also testi-
fed against her mother, and said she did
not want to go back TO her at all, she was
too cruel The decree of divorce was
granted, and the little daughter given into
her fathers custody. Mrs. Richardson was
not in court. She is still in Tacoma, where
she has resided for some time.

He Has No Recollection of Killing
Philip Martin.

The trial of Michael Chebuker for the
murder CT Philip Martin, CIay-street
saloon keeper, was resumed yesterday
morning, but before any witnesses were
placed on the stand Judge Shafter made
some strong remarks about the closeness Oh
the court-r0om's atmosphere and ordered
that only those connected with the trial oil
the case should be granted admission.
The first witness was Caspar Paritza,
saloon keeper on the corner of Leidesdorf
and Sacramento streets, who testified that
Chebuker and Martin were in his saloon
on the night that the stabbing took place
and were quite friendly, drinking, singing
and dancing together. Finally Martin be-
came cross and they went over to Martin
place.
DIR. Jewell of the Home for Inebriates
testified as to the effects of liquor on the
brain and its destroying influence on the
memory, while j. Osborn gave testimony
that Chebuker had worried for Neville u
Co. as porter for fifteen years.
Wnen Officer Gaynor testified that Maftlh
had the reputation Of being quarrelsome,
Mrs. Martin, who with her two children.
aged and 8, had been fearful witness OF
the entire proceedings, cried out hySterl-
cally. "Oh, God, that is not so, and soD0eu
so bitterly that Judge Shafter stated that
she must either moderate her grief or leave
the courtroom.
Chebuker then took the stand and testi-
fed: Il am an Austrian, aged 90. On the
day in question was at picnic at shell
Mound Park with my wife, and drank
freely. l returned to the city at Z o'clock
