Dear Sir,
Allow me to make a correction to my
letter of yesterday.
l have been informed by Mr.. Nathan that
the luen who went with him went voluntarily,
and with no expectation of payment.
| have had quite an interesting account from
Mr.. Nathan, whose modesty in accepting praise
for his noble endeavour, makes the act still
more praise worthy. AS have heard it remarked
that the act of going out in such weather was
foolhardy, / would beg to remark that it is
not applicable to Mr.. Nathan; the word is
misused: for those who know him well will
conceded that he handles a boatin mastery man
ner. and he is a prudent, cool, and level head
ed man, and one who has had much experience
in all kinds Of weather. The accident which
befell him would befall the best b%oatman,
and it was not, I am convinced, from careless
management.
Mr.. FLYNN was also dissuaded from going to
Mr.. Nathan's rescue; his attempt was also
considered foolhardy, but he needed them not
it was enough that lives were in danger, and
he bravely went to their rescue and there was
much rejoicing when they were saved. In
connection with this, my mind reverts to
several noble acts performed by Mr.. Nathan in
the saving of life, to which / will here briefly
refer.
Fifteen years ago ] was on the Inflated
steamer s'Thyra'' which left here, bound for
St. Thomas, to undergo repair; when about
mid channel she was found to be in such a
condition, that it was considered best to
abandon her. About twelve persons went
in a boat, under the command of the late
MI. Robert Flynn, to st. Thomas. The vessel
reached Water Island, owing to the handling
of Mr.. Nathan, but for whom she may have
foundered with all hands.
It is we'll known that the cause of the loss
of this vessel vas owing to the inebriation on
the part of her officers, who paid far. more at
tention to the brandy bottle than to their re-
spective duties. Some years ago Mr.. Nathan
rescued some soldiers, about which mention
was made in your paper by a correspondent at
the time. Later three fishermen were also
rescued by him. .s4.l5
These are plain statements of facts which
are well known, and have only been mentioned
to show the nobleness of his nature, to render
help TO his fellow beings when in danger.

Spectator, 1st august.

Lord Salisbury's announcement of the
intended visit of the French feet to Ports
mouth after it's return from Russia, makes it
clear enough that there is no GOODNESS at thet
present moment between the French and Bri-
fish Governments. If the Times correspond
ent at Paris, however. is we'll informed, there
is a French intrigue brewing to get the Sui
tan to depose the Khedive of Egypt, Tewfk Pa
sha to whose frmness. elearness n dforeslght
Lord Salisbury paid SO emphatic, and evident,
ly international, a compliment in his speech
at the Mansion House, and so to throw Egypt
into confusion. We believe that the gu ltan
will think as Mr.. Gladstone says, once, twice
and thrice before falling into the hands OF
such ~intriguers. OF course he thoroughly dis
likes our rule in Egypt, and would gladly put
an end to it if he thought he safely could

After a great disappointment on Thursday
evening, due to a temporary defect in the
organ which made it. unusable, the choir OF
st. Johns Church were able yesterday evening
to sing the promised Cantata, Esther, before
a large audience, among whom was His Excel
lency the Governor. The Cantata which con-
tains many beautiful solos and choruses, was
sung with great spirit by the choir, who were
well sustained by the excellent organ accom-
paniment. The whole performance gave great
pleasure, and the skill attained by the choir is
highly creditablc to the members and to their
efficient leader.
In regard to weather we have had a very
encouraging week. One line recorded at the
Fort this morning brings the total for Christian
sted up to az lines. At Orange Grove the
total up to yesterday morning was 81 lines.
The Western end of the island has been
equally favoured; but a strip of country in the
middle of the island, say from Kings Hill to
Diamond School, appears to have had less. The
fall. at Kings Hill for the week has been
23rd, l line; Oath, :; 18th, 5; 26th, %; 9th,

School has not been much more than this.

siderable quantity of lumber and galvanized

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 19.-After an alb
sence Of seven months and half the
United States steamer San Francisco ar
rived in port this morning from Acapulco
and anchored in the stream Off the Clay
street wharf All the officers report hav-
ing had a pleasant trip, which was not
without excitement, owing to the war IN
Chile.
1t viii be necessary for the San Fran
cisco to go TO Mare Island Immediately,
and she will leave here tomorrow after
noon. Arriving at the yard she will be
placed in the stone dock and thor
oughly cleaned. Her bottom is very
foul. The so-called anti-fouling paint
has not protected her very much. It was
due principally to her having to be doclled
that she came back TO this city.
Admiral Brown expressed himself in
every way satisfied with the San tran-
cisco, and concluded with the statement
that she is one of the best vessels of the
new navy.
In an interview Admiral Brown denied
that he had in any way sought to curry
favor with the dictator, or that he had in
any manner aided him. II ann well
aware of all the reports that have been
circulated regarding myself during the
Chilean trouble, but as | did not have the
power to prevent such stories being sent
out they naturally found their way into
print; but in every case the situation was
exaggerated"

CHICAGO, Nov. 19.-The Federal Grand
Jury, which has been investigating inter
state commerce violations, to-day re-
turned indictments as follows: For OBJ
tanning a rebate less than card tariff, the
following members: The firm of Swift &
Co.-Gustavus S. Swift, Edwin C. Swift,
Louis f. Swift and Edward Harpnell:
for the same offense, George and John
Firmenick, glucose manufacturers of
Marshalltown, Iowa; for giving rates less
than the established tariff, George b.
Spriggs, General Freight Agent of the
New York, Chicago and st. Louis Rail-
way. In the last six months Swift G Co.
received over $780, 900 in rebates for meat
shipped over the Nickel-plate Road. The
violations OF law committed by the Fir
menicls are even greater than those
charged against the Swifts. The Glucose
Company they control at MarshalltoWn,
Iowa, Is an immense concern, having
branches all over the West and an office
in Chicago. 1t was shown that over $50
000 in rebates We're paid to the firm the
last six months by the Chicago, st. Paul
and Kansas City Road.
That only one railroad man, Spriggs,
was indicted was somewhat of surprise.
but not a few other railroaders barely es-
capped. The evidence against them was
not sufficiently strong. None of those
indicted were arrested, but they viii be
compelled to appear and give bail for
trial.
The penalty for freight rate discrimina-
tions is set down in the law at fine OF
from $1,000 to $1,000, and imprisonment
from one to three years, or both, in the
discretion of the court.
The revelations of the methods pur-
sued in favoring big shippers were as
founding. The system and its secrecy
were almost perfect, and the jury at one
time seriously considered abandoning
the effort to get at the guilty parties.
With the aid of Special Agent Kretsch-
mar of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and District Attorney MiIchrist
however, they finally succeeded in get
ting down to bedrock.
The men who worked the wires fo1
Swift q Co. were Frank G. Bowles and
Arthur Fay. General Freight Agent
Spriggs, it is said, was caught because he
had become reckless handling matters.
Special Agent Kretschmar left tonight
for San Francisco, where he will work
up some cases against Pacific Coast roads.

DENVER, Nov. 19.-The session of the
Mining Congress was delayed in meeting
this morning through the tardiness of
delegates in consequence of attending the
drilling contest last evening.
Butte, Mont, broke all records in the
way of double-handed drilling. and de-
feated the champions of Colorado.
The Committee on Credentials reported
559 delegates present, from thirty-one
States and Territories.
Niles SearIs, eX-Chief Justice of Cali
fornia, was recommended for permanent
Chairman, and it was decided to discuss
a number of subjects, among which was
That OF the coinage of silver. The report
was adopted,
Judge Searls, in the course of his ad-
dress accepting the chairmanship, en-
phatIcally indOrsed the unlimited coinage
of silver.
In the afternoon the Congress ap-
pointed one Vice-President for each
State. Chief Skiff. of the Mining Bureau
of the Worlds Fair, was given thirty
minutes to set forth the advantages of the
Columbian Exposition and the necessity
OF the mining States making an exhibit
that would give the world an idea of the
Importance of the industry.
Senator Wolcott, in brief speech. set
at rest all doubts as to his position on the
silver question. He hoped the congress
would shape into proper form such mat
ters as require legislation, and in closing
his remarks said: ''N matter what may
be the wishes Of majority of the party
to which l belong, or its chief executive,
and no matter how much my course may
remove me from the sunlight Of official
patronage, until some new light crosses
my vision, which is not yet dimmed,
shall, SO long as [ remain in public life,
vote tor free and unlimited coinage of
silver''
The audience rose and applauded Sena-
tor Walcott until President Searls raped
Il. r.. Holden, as leader Of the faction
demanding the coinage of American pro-
duct only, predicted disaster and ruin to
the banking and commercial system of
the country if other nations were allowed
TO unload their silver upon the United
States and receive gold in return. he as
serted that Mexico in another year would
produce more silver than this country.
and that one small district in Australia
was preparing TO produce more silver
than Colorado. Chas. S. Thomas of Colo
rado replied to these arguments and
boldly advocated free and unlimited
coinage of silver.
The congress then adjourned unit! to-
morrow.

OF money in circulation shall amount TO

The resolutions recommend that the
Legislature submit to the people for
adoption an amendment to the Constitu-
ton providing that school funds be
loaned to individuals on real estate Sc
curity. 1t is deemed advisable for the
Alliance to stand independent politically.

Locate Stolen Goods.

A San francisco Detective Trying to
Locate Stolen Goods.
CHICO. Nov. ia detective from San
Francisco arrived here last Friday night,
made the acquaintance of Marshal Will
son, and Saturday proceeded to the old
Woodman warehouse lot to locate the
spot where stolen goods from the San
Francisco police property Office We're re-
ported buried. The detective had dia-
gram of the place as described bv the
thieves now under arrest in San Fran
cisco. AT the detectives request the
Marshal sent man down with a pick
and shovel to dig for the treasure. The
spot was difficult to locate, as the ware
house was burned since the treasure was
buried. All Saturday afternoon was
spent in digging, but no treasure was
found. The burglars said that after the
robbery in San Francisco they came and
operated in Sacramento, MarysvilIe.
Chico and Red Bluff. At the latter place
they operated on the safe of l.. II. D..
Lange, but were scared of. They came
back to Chico, but were closely shad-
owed. and afraid of being arrested and
searched they decided to bury the plum
der. A full set of burglars tools
was among the goods buried on the Old
Woodman lot. The detective has re-
turned to San Francisco and may return
with one of the robbers to locate the ex-
act spot where the treasure was buried.
1t is thought he was sent on wild goose
chase
