THE ELIZABETH.
Men at Work Overhanling the
Wreck of the Vessel.

The work of overhauling the wreck Of the
Elizabeth is still in progress, and it will be a
long time before it is completed. 1t is as
serted by those in position to know that
the parties who purchased the remains of
both the vessel and the cargo will make a
handsome profit on the investment. Most
of the debris has been overhauled, and yet
the only bodies which have been recovered
are those of the captain and the Chinese
cook, while there were seventeen men be-
longing to the ship who lost their lives.
The men engaged on the wleckage have
been working in daily expectation of pull
ing out dead body now and then, as it was
thought the bodies of the drowned men
were washed inshore in advance of the
tmbers and cargo, but now it hardly seems
probable that any will be recovered.
The metal Is being recovered by burning
the woodwork, and fires are noticeable in
several localities. The wreckage lies along
the beach for a distance of over a mile and
it is difficult to believe that it all came out
of one vessel Nearly everything of value
has been picked up, but people who visit the
wreck still find odds and ends which they
bear home as souvenirs of the disaster.
For a few days after the sad event, while
the details were fresh in the minds of all
newspaper readers, large crowds visited the
beach, but the unpleasant weather pre-
vented many from viewing it who otherwise
would have liked to do SO. The other day
some thirty gentlemen. members of the
Cross-Country Club and friends, walked
over from Mill Valley, which is probably
the shortest route for pedestrians. just
over the ridge from Mill Valley to the west
ward is Sequoia Canyon and the. stream
which flows through It empties into the
ocean at Big Lagoon just south of the scene
of the wreck. One of the party referred to
states that persons who go over the route
mentioned should make turn to the right
soon after passing the first milk ranch on
the creek and climb up over the hill. When
the summit is reached the wreck will be seen
lust below. 1t is a pleasant walk at any
time and the unfortunate circumstance in
creases the interest in the locality. The
house where Barclay and the four men
found shelter is further down the stream
than the turning-off place and can be reached
by following the road. A whirligig, with
little sIoop-rigged boats stands on post in
front of the Westinghouse, which is good
distinguishing mark. One of the wreckers
has the captains widows sealskin sacque and
other wearing apparel, but the furious waves
left marks upon them which will unfit them

the variety and excellence OF their feats.
They only comprise, however, small por-

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
What Is Going On in the Various
Theaters in the City.

The Warde-Bowers Company are draw
ing crowded houses to the New California,
and the indications are that the present
business will continue to the end of the
week. when Mr.. Warde will produce his
new play, The Lions Mouth" by Henry
Guy Carleton, said to be massive in its con-
struction and full of exciting business.
Willard Sponsors 1.-THE Little tycoon"
is running to appreciatiye audience at the
Baldwin. 1t may be suggested that the
political illusions made here and there in
the text might with advantage be sup
pressed. 1t is a mistaken idea to indulge in
politics before the mixed audiences of a
theater auditorium.
d N Sully's 1.-THE Millionaire" draws
good attendance at the Bush-street. 1t is a
play Of to-day and has material interest
fascinating to good many people. 1t puts
into stage action occurrences in real life that
are furnishing paragraphs for the news

JUDGE TROUTT'S BILL
Again Presented and Payment
Again Refused.

Judge Trout is having difficulty In secur-
ing payment for the fittings and furnishings
of his courtroom and chambers. The oTigi-
nal bill of the dealers was simply signed by
him and then presented to the Treasurer.
Mr.. Wilbur refused to honor it because it
had not come to him through what he re-
garded as the proper channel, that is, the
Board of Supervisors and the Auditor. He
could not see what protection he would
have if he were to cash such demand.
The whole matter was dropped for a
while and Judge Trout consulted with
numerous authorities, and finally adopted
Judge Wallace's plan, that is, issued a
court order that the bill be paid and spread
1t on the official records.
Yesterday the bill was again presented.
amounting to $3.50, and accompanied with
the court order Again Mr.. Widber refused 10
pay 1t, still maintaining that he would have
no protection, for while the statute author
ICES any Judge TO procure through the Sher-
III all necessary c0nvenieneeS for holding
court, it is only upon condition that the
Supervisors refuse to do so upon proper
notification.
Treasurer Widber maintains that the
Supervisors were not even requested by
Judge Trout to supply his courtroom,
hence there may be doubt about the legality
of the bill, wherefore City and County At
torney burst will be called upon to express
an opinion in regard to the matter, though
It Is not yet in his hands.

time.

COOPERATIVE ,EXPOSITIONS.
A Plan Proposed for the Portland and

A Plan Proposed for the Portland and
San Francisco Fairs.
Two Of the principal officers of the Port
land Industrial Exposition, e. A. King.
Weep President, and r. W. Mitchell, Secre-
tary, are in this city urging the cooperation
upon the part of the Mechanics Institute
Exposition managers. The plan is an ex-
cellent one, and if adopted would result in
great advantages to both expositions, as
well as benefit to the public. 1t has been
found that it is difficult to secure Eastern
attractions of novel character for a single
exposition of four or five weeks. With two
located at different yet not conflicting points,
many new features could be obtained. This
plan would form strong inducement to ex-
hibitorS to participate, without in any great
degree increasing the expenses Of the expo
sitiOnS.

The excavations recently Instituted on
Montgomery street for the purpose of laying

Gus relics of bygone days.
LAST Friday as a band of workmen were
digging hole for an electrical conduit at
the corner of Montgomery and Clay streets
one of their number dislodged with some
earth and mud, at depth of ten feet a
slender metallic bar, which was picked up
by Francisco Rinconi, an employe in John
Naismith's barber-shop. Upon removing
the earth stains silver case was exposed,
and after much hammering this was re-
moved, displaying the blade Of Mexican

The Cooks and Walters Union will again
consider at its first meeting in April the
petition of japanese to join that organize
ton. The reason for putting the matter off
until April 9TH is because the union desires
to hold an election of officers in the mean
time, yet after the meeting of the union on
Tuesday night the Secretary stated that the
petition of the Japanese employed in the
Miners Restaurant had been denied be-
cause the constitution Of the union excluded
all Mongolians from becoming members.

had paid no special attention to it. He was
satisfied, however, thai he had drawn a

lodged by careless or INSCRIPTIONS con-

Judge Turney Gained.

No man came out of the war more
highly esteemed by the soldiers who

lime works at Scottsburg, owned by
Cunningham & Williams, both OF
whom are GAINESVILLE gentlemen,
have been capitalized at $4,000, the
stock all taken and articles of incor
poration will be filed at once. The
present proprietors take three fifths
of the stock and the citizens OF
Princeton the remainder. The Ban
ner says the enterprise has already
proven a big success, and with in
creased capital, additional machinery
and improved facilities for the work
in hand, it is destined to become one
of the most potent factors in the de.
velopment of that section.

Blainism and Republican Policy.


Mr.. Blaine, some time ago, pointed
out the disaster that threatened this
country (the result OF Republican
policy in the following clear warn.
ing: "Our foreign market for bread
stufis grows narrower. Great Brit
ain is exerting every nerve to secure
her bread supply from India, and the
rapid expansion of the wheat area
in Russia gives us a powerful com
petitor in the markets of Europe"
Later than this, pending the dis
cussion of the Mckinley bill in Con-
gress, Mr.. Blaine, criticising that
measure, said: "There is not sec
ton or line In the entire bill that
will open market for another bush.
oil of wheat or another barrel of
pork"
1t is these free trade utterances that
have stirred the popular enthusiasm
in the Republican party in favor of
the Plumed Knights nomination
for President. 1t is plain that all
people except the protected barons
are tired of the high tariff, and for
this reason the Republican leaders
are trying to dodge the issue. Mr.,
Blaine uttered more truth than he
really intended. The policy of his
party land no man, except it be Sher-
man, Is more responsible for it than
himselO has been to deprive the
the American farmers of an open
market for their produce. Instead
of supplying the English markets
with breadstuffs our produce has been
shut in by the tariff wall and our de
mOnetized silver converted into a
commodity and exported instead,
selling England a dollars worth of
silver for so cents, with which to buy
a dollars worth of India wheat, to
the neglect of American grain.
The Mckinley bill, instead of open
ing a market for our wheat and pork,
forced an outlet for $4,000, 900 of our
gold for speculation in the importa-
ton of foreign goods which the bill
prohibited by its high rate of taxa
ton, that home manufacturers might
gather fortunes at the expense of the
masses, and nothing but the despised
80 cents silver dollar which Reeds
Congress gave us has saved this coun-
try from an overwhelming panic.
Providence has also come to our help
