MORNING STAR.
Arrival i'm Port Of the Famous
Missionary Steamer.
Engaged for Seven Years in Spreading the
Gospel Among the Islands of the Pa
cifc-Here for Repairs.

Among the arrivals in port yesterday
was the famous missionary brig Morning
Star, built at Bath, Me-, seven years ago to
carry the light of the Gospel to the far-off
islands of the Pacific, and it is safe to say
it would be hard to design craft better
fitted for the work than the vessel now in
port
For seven years the little vessel has made
her way from island 10 island in the various
groups carrying provisions and supplies to
the large number of missionaries stationed
throughout the islands.
The Morning Star is queer craft from
sailors point of view, being what is known
as an auxiliary vessel. That is. she is one
supplied with engines of sufficient power to
drive her along five or six knots an hour in

FISH AND GAME.
The Commission to Stock Lake
Tahoe With Salmon.

The State Fish and Game Commission
met yesterday afternoon at 419 California
street, all the members being present.
Reports were received from Thomas Tun-
stead. Chief of Patrol, and from four sub
ordinate patrolmen, covering the period
from May 10Th TO date. The officers of the
commission have investigated the reported
deer killing at Austin, Cazadero, Noyato.
Rio Vista and other places in Sonoma and
Marin counties, and reported their failure
to secure any evidence in support OF the
complaints.
About twenty-five men have been ar
rested and convicted OF violating the fishing
laws for having nets extended farther than
one-third of the distance across the Sacra-
mentu, catching fish out of season and other
infractions of the statute.
Every fishing camp on the Sacramento
River, from the Nicolaus to Vallejo, dis
lance of 100 miles, was visited by the Chief
OF Patrol, who states that he found the fish
ing industry very slack. Large numbers of
shad. carp and catfish were seen in the river,
which is reported to have been kept entirely
free from saWdust.
Commissioner Wilson reported having
visited Siss0n and inspected the fish station,
which stands on leased ground. He recon-
mended the purchase of four lots, conSti-
tutlDg the fish premises, for viii h an appro-
plidtloi =" Do ny luU last
The other Commissioners Endorsed thesrec-
ON mendatlons empowering Mr.. Wilson to
make the purchase for the board.
The Commissioners Indignantly repudi-
ated the charge that any of their number
had countenanced the stocking of private
ponds with the fish belonging TO the Com
mission.
A letter was read from Colonel Nacdon-
aid, United States Fishery Commissioner at
Washington, stating that he could furnish
the California Commission with a liberal
supply of land-locked salmon free of cost. 1t
was agreed to accept this offer and to de-
posit the salmon when procured in Lake
Tahoe.
Howard Black was appointed an extra
deputy patrolman. The commission now
employs five patrolmen. who are.paid regu-
lar salaries and eleven extra deputies whose
remuneration depends upon the arrest and
conviction of any one who violate the. fish
and game laws.
A vote of thanks was rendered TO S. p.

THE EVENT OF THE EVENING"
The story is told by park officer as fol-
lows: "'Referee' Jordan has been taking
lessons III bicycle riding for some weeks,
and rs our staff is on friendly terms with
the young blood we all of US promised to
keep the matter secret and thereby give Sir
William chance to enjoy a little quiet
sport unmolested by the joshing fraternity.
ut happened, however, that a newly ap-
pointed member of the park police had
tilt with our friend Billy few evenings
ago, which, by the way, is too good to keep
from publication, and it is bound to leak
out sooner or later.
Billy had just begun to manipulate his
wheel without a teachers assistance, and
on the evening l have referred to he sue
ceeded. by part pushing and part riding, in
gaining the summit of hin leading from the
entrance to the Hayes-street cars in the
direction of the conservatory.
" On the return home the noiseless steed
became fractions and shot down the grade
al lightning speed. The professor, having
won many laurels in the old country when
boy, donkey-racing, knew that his only
salvation from severe and probably dan
gerous header was to stick close to the pig
skin, which he did in good style, and as the
wheels went speeding along the impetus
became momentarily greater.
FALL IN FAT.
"On rounding the corner of the main
shot past the new Office, and then it was
nip and tuck between the horse and the BIZ
cycle until William was whipped from his
saddle by lasSo which landed him on the
broad OF his back on the hard thorough
fare.
"Billy was very indignant when he re-
gained his senses and explained the reason
Tor fast driving was that he had struck per-
petual motion. which he was powerless to
STOP"
The officer was in a quandary. and after
hearing JOrdan's explanation he did not
know which to place charge against, viz. !:
Jordan or the bicycle. Finally Jordan read
him a couple of chapters of the rules of
Queensberry, after which both shook hands
cordially and separated. In all probability
this will end the professional master of GER
emonies' attempts at coasting until he be-
comes better drilled in the use of the rub
bered wheel.
The Alameda Olympic Club will give an
exhibition this evening on Lincoln avenue.
The principal event will be x-round con-
test between two well-knOwn pugilists.

Proceed ings of the Third Day of the
Great Sun Session.
The Improved Order of Red Men con-
tinued their twenty-sixth great sun session
of the Great Council Of California at 800
Post street yesterday.
The greater part of the day was taken up
with the consideration of the report of the
Committee on Law and Usage The com
mittee deals with the alteration of bylaws
submitted by the various tribes throughout
the State. and their lengthy report led to
considerable discussion. The report of the
committee was in nearly every instance sus-
tanned.
The report of the Committee on Honored
Dead ON the deaths of J. p. III. Wentworth,
Charles l.. Wiggin, Past Great Sachems,
was adopted by rising vote. The report
OF the same committee on the deaths of
Past Sachems during the year was also
adopted.
A report of the receipts and disburse-
meDts during the year was submitted by the
Finance Committee. The committee fixed
the per capita tax at so cents.
Numerous amendments to the bylaws OF

HE LOST HIS CLOTHES.
Queer Plight of a Drunken Man on Pa
cific Street.

queer Right OF n Drunken Man Oh IA
cific Street.
Officer Stanton had queer adventure
with drunken man early Tuesday MORN
ing. Between and o'clock. viii lie patrol
ing his beat on Broadway, near Van Ness
avenue, the officer saw white-robed figure
moving rapidly along the opposite side of
the street. At first he thought it was a
painter or plasterer going to work. but on
approaching nearer discovered the figure to
be that of man clad IN thin sui: of under
clothes, pair of cuffs, stand-up collar and
a white tie. The man, who gave the name
of Bellmire, said he didn't know where the
rest of his clothes were. but that he was
going TO SO Mission street, where his
friends lived, and get some more.
The officer took Bellmire to the Central
Station. He was nearly frozen, he said. and
would like to have a blanket. His wants
were supplied and he soon fell asleep. His
friends were notified, and the next morni g
Bellmtre was liberated by paying a small
fine.
He is late arrival from New York and
had gone out to see the sights of great
city with the usual result. Pacific-street

senses and his clothes as well. HIS coat aud

calm, and these often proved the vessels
salvation when the wind has failed her in
the narrow channels and passages among
the various groups of islands.
Being designed more for a passenger
vessel than a cargo carrier. the Morning
Star is well supplied with state-rooms, hay
ing no less than twelve, all of them large
and commodious. They are down below
in the tween decks On each side of the
saloon, which is also of good size. Abaft
the saloon is mushroom, or rather small
chapel, as 1t is often used for that purpose
and contains hne organ and several WELL
filled bookcases.
LITERATURE IN ABUNDANCE.
Every room in the ship is also supplied
with a small case filled with good and
varied reading matter, II not all being of a
religious nature. In the forward part of
the tween decks are the quarters for the
| crew and two large steerages fitted up with
hunks for native passengers.
The engines are small and are only in
tended for use In Gains or narrow channels,
where il would be hasardous to work the
vessels main sail.
The queerest feature about the vessel Is
| her malnmast which is of iron, while the
| other two are of wood. Like all other iron
| spars il is of course hollow and is also used
as a smokestack. This gives the vessel a
| strange appearance when under steam, and
more then once has almost frightened the
wits out of lot Of natives, as they thought
| the vessel was on fire.
The hurricane deck runs the full length
of the vessel, and on this is the wheel-hOuse
| and officers quarters. Like the rest of the
| state rooms they are large and roomy, and,
| what is more, are well supplied with good
| bedding.
During her long cruise of nearly seven
| years the vessel has frequently been re-
| ported lost, aud more than once have de-
| tailed accounts OF how she was piled up on
| some island or reef and lost with ali her
crew been published, but she has always
| bGbbed up safe and sound when least eX-
| pected.
| WORSE FOR THE WEAR.
| Long years of service have begun to make
| themselves felt The boiler has given out
| and will have to be renewed, and the vessel
| will have TO receive thorough calking be-
| fore she is ready for sea again. From long
use as a smokestack the lower part of the
mainmast has been burnt out and before
| the vessel left Honolulu several feet of it
had to be cut off, proceeding that did not
| add to the beauty of the craft.
The Morning Star WAS built by the Board
| OF Foreign Missions of the Methodist
Church, and during the first part of her ca
| reer was commanded by Captain BRAY. we'll
known as Secretary of the Oakland branch
OF the Y. NJ. c. a, and who will again take
| command of the vessel when she is ready
| for sea. Most OF the time since the vessel
| has been at Work on her errand of mercy
| and peace has been spent in and around the
| Marshall, Gilbert and Caroline groups, with
headquarters and supply depot at Honolulu.
| The vessel carries crew of twelve all told
| The present crew were all shipped at Homo
lulu to bring the vessel to this port.

Nine times yesterday afternoon presiding
Judge Ell. NJ. La Rue tolled the bell In the

during the third days racing Of the breed
ers' meeting, and told the public that the
fayorite had won the heat. In each Of the
three events trotted off the first cash choice
won the race, making of the nine contests
so far decided at the meeting eight solid
victories for the favorites, and if DR.. Swift,
the winner of the pace on Tuesday, who
was cellui0id certainly after the second
heat had been decided, is valued at his true
worth. the resume would be that eight and
seven-eighths fayorites won. This speaks
volumes, in fact whole libraries, in favor of
the squareness of the racing throughout, so
far.
No more favorable weather in every way,
either from racing or pleasure seeking
point OF view than yesterday could be had,
even if Lieutenant Finley, the at present
dispenser Of the weather, had sorted out
the culls and given the public the pick
of his climatic fruitage.

fact almost too fast to suit such of the COM
