MARsHFIELD or, Dec. 1.-THE schooner
Annie Gee, which has been lying outside Of
Coos Bay bar for the past five days, arrived
In this city in tow at noon to-day. The Gee
had on board three sailors rescued from the
disabled steamer Maggie Ross, which was
towed into Ya4uina Bay last Friday.
F. Bokland. one of the rescued men, said:
"As we showed around Cape Arago Sun
day night the storm struck US with great
fury, blowing away the sails. From that
time we were at the mercy Of the gale, and
every wave dashed over the vessel. The
next day at II o'clock we cut away the
deck-load of lumber, which carried the
houses and everything with it. Steward
Annensen was killed Tuesday by being
crushed by the lower house. Both of the
ships boats were stove in and rendered IN
seaworthy.
THE CAPTAINS LAST WORDS.
THE Annie Gee came up with US Tues
day morning and sent out her boat, which
five of US, including Captain Marshall and
the engineer. managed to reach in one of
our boats, not, however, until the second
mate was lost overheard. Two of US had
both legs broken, and the others of the boat
were lost. The captain and engineer, at
their request, were for the third time re-
turned to the Ross, preferring to chance
their lives on board the disabled vessel than
in the frail ships boat. i will take my
chances aboard the ship were the last
words of Captain Marshall. So We left
them, with one man dead on deck, one over
board and several others seriously injured.
STRUGGLING FOR HOURS.
with pieces of fence boards which we
managed 10 pick up we struggl ed for hours,
with our boat filling and almost sinking.
until we were finally picked up by the An
ME Gee. Captain Marshall seemed to be
more anxious for the safety of the crew
than for himself 1t is possible that they
constructed raft, as that was talked Of as
. last resort, though lack of material and
their crippled condition may have prevented
this. There is yet chance for them, but
have little hope"
Henry Berntsen and Hans Anderson, the
two injured seamen, are now lying in the
Marine Hospital here, each having both
legs broken. They will probably recover.

Result Of a Boycott Of a Captain by an En-

SEATTLE, Dec 14.-All the large passen-
ger and freight steamboats, on the sound

a disagreement between the Captains

waging boycott agains tCaptain McAlpihe
because of his part in the trouble on the
steamer Olympiau on November 9th. which
resulted in the revocation of the license Of
Engineer Smith. CAPTAIN McAlpine was
susl ended for month and at the expiration
of that time. when he was assigned to the
command of the steamer Sehome, not an asso-
citation engineer would go on board his boat.
Saturday the engineers issued manifesto
boycotting Captain McAlpine until such
time as Engineer Smith should be REIN

solving to tie up every steamer

is employed until the boycott
against Captain McAlpine Is removed. AS
a result every steamer plying out OF this
port was tied up at midnight.

Sullivan's New Play,

" Broderck Agra" was brought out at the
Bush-street to fair attendance. 1t is
much better piece for the purposes of the
pugilistic actor than Honest Hearts," be-
cause there is but little sentiment in 1t.
Psthos and pugilism are not consonant,
and Mr.. Harrison ought to have known this
when he set himself TO work in equipping
the champion. Iu "Broderick" Sullivan is
iovial and jolly, and so pleases the boys in
the gallery aud the more sedate people
much better. He WAS very well received in
the business lie had to do. The scene in
Dacy's Dublin Varieties. where the Irish
champion tights are said to take place, is
supposed to be realistic. If so the city by
the Liffey needs an Improvement in its places

A Successful Concert.

Inc third Stelnway Hall concert was
yesterday afternoon very we'll attended.
The general performance of the String Quar-
tet showed great improvement since the
last concert month ago. The last movement
Of the Schumann string quartet in major,
No. 2, constituted the best work of the quar-
tetlst. Another very interesting number
was the Schubert quintet for p anOforte and
strings, opus ia, which is remarkable for
lis admirable musical equilibrium. The in
struments never give sign of prepondeIance,
but all united in marvellous labyrinth of
sorority, produce superb whole. Signor
V. Ursumando played the piano part with
his usual skill. Mr.. l.. Heine was the soloist
of the concert, and not only was he equal
to the good fame he enjoys among us,
but surpassed himself, revealing ali
his rare musical qualities. He played "Kol
Niedrei." by Max Bruch, a splendid compo-
sition, which NAV be styled in one
phrase, the production of genius" 1t
is really true that in art the crude and
studied combinations of science alone
are entirely out of place. Art is such
q sublime and complete thing in itself
that only breath of it abates in one mo-
ment all the efforts of hundred treatises
of philosophy. One of these breaths came
to us through the Incompatible compost
ton of Max Bruch and the magic bow of
Louis Heine; it came like q tfourishing
oasis in the desert of our daily ostentations.
Heine was exceedingly we'll accompanied
by his worthy colleague. Signor Ursumando.
THE vOCALISM.
Mrs. A. E Bruno was the vocaliste of the
occasion. The lady has limited light So
prano voice, clear and flexible. but sings too
mechanically. Her enunciation is rather
good, but her breathing is not faultess. In
the first piece. an aria from Mozart, she
was undecided, owing, perhaps, to tile in
sufficient accompaniment which did not
second her in the least Her second num-
Der showed her to better advantage. 1t
consisted in "Aime Moi" by Remberg, and
Vain Desire" by Vogrich. The lady OBJ
tanned thus an encore and many friendly
tributes of flowers.

HOW THE SULTAN Dimes.
His Food Served in Golden Bottles and
the Chamberlain Tastes First.


His Food Served in Golden Bottles and
the Chamberlain Tastes First.
Sovereigns and Courts.
The food for the Sultan is prepared by one
man and his aids, and none others touch 1t.
1t is cooked In silver vessels, and when done,
each bottle is sealed by slip of paper and q
stamp, and this is broken in the presence of
the Sultan by the high chamberlain, who takes
one spoonful OF each separate bottle before
the Sultan tastes it, This is to prevent the
Sultan from being poisoned. The food is al
most always served up to the Sultan in the
same vessels in which it was cooked, and these
are often OF gold, but when of baser metal,
the bottle is set into rich, golden, bell
shaped holder, the handle Of which is held by
a~slave while the Sultan eats Each bottle is
q course, and is served with bread and kind
of pancake, which is held on golden tray by
another slave. The Sultan drinks no wine or
spirits, but he drinks great deal of sherbet
and is very fond of ice cream. He would re-
duce his harem if he could, but custom
makes this impossible, and the most stubborn
custom is that which compels the Sultan to
marry off his ladies and to give to each of
them dowry of fifty thousand dollars. To
secure this, it is said, many pashas and other
dignitaries send their daughters to the
SetdmEk.
