The Rush at San Francisco.

Capt Coulson of the revenue cutter Rush re-
ports to the Treasury Department his arrival
at San Francisco after having cruised during
the month Of November about the seal islands.
He describes the weather as being very bad
with high winds, hail and snow, only Few
days of the month being clear.
Only two vessels were reported as having
been in the sealing ground since the Rush
left there in September. Most Of the seals,
he states, had left the rookeries by Novem-
Der Is. Capt. Coulson recommends as a pro-
lection to the seal in the rookeries that a
revenue officer with guards under him be
placed on the islands OF st. George and st.
Paul for the purpose Of doing police duty. In
bad weather, he says, it is impossible for
vessels to land on the leeward side of the
islands, and but little guard duty would be
necessary, but in clear weather poachers can
readily land and capture seals. considerable
force on such occasions would be necessary to
properly police the rookeries Capt Coulson

fashionable clubs ane Salons and in the studios
and studies Of the fine arts he was ever known

One day about twenty years ago the Spanish
nobleman sauntered out on the Elysian Fields
without an umbrella aud was caught in
thunder storm. He sought protection
under the umbrella Of young sewing
girl, who was hurrying home from her
work. She told her titled acquaintance all
about the trials Of her trade and her meager
wages, and enlisted his sympathy completely
for her. Moreover, she was pretty and inno-

Yesterday party of young colored men con-
gregated in Mrs. Kate Foley's stable in rear of

Galloway, one Of the negroes, objected to having

four inches long.
Policeman Riley responded and pursued the
negro to Mrs. Collins stable, where he arrested
him. The officer knew the negro, who had just

A De Soto, Miss, special to the
New York World today says: Since the
days when RUDE Burrows held up

and Alabama. no outlaw has created SO much
excitement and terror as Bob" Sims,
the notorious moonshiner Of this
state. 1t was in September that Sims
and two of his family were ar
rested for distilling Illicit whisky The ar
rests were made by a deputy United States
marshal and the prisoners were kept guarded
in room at the hotel in Bladen Springs That
night relatives of Sims surrounded the house
and, after killing two officers and private cit
izen and losing two Of their number, they res
cued Bob and his companions and escaped to
the woods. A mob visited his home and de-
stroyed ii, and he vowed vengeance against
every man in the party, numbering thirty
seven.
The first move toward carrying out this
threat was made on the night of December %.
when Sims and five Of his gang surrounded
and set fire to the house Of John Mcmillan.
who resides twenty-five miles from this place
in wild and sparsely settled country. Here
he committed an outrage that will linger
forever in the memory of the citizens of this
section. Before firing the house he and his
gang called to the inmates, six in num-
Der, two men, two women and two children.
to come out and surrender. The offer was re-
fused and then the house was fired. The
flames assembled higher and higher until at
last the inmates were compelled to flee from
the burning building. As they ran out John
Mcmillan, John Kennedy and Kennedy's
seven-year-old daughter we're fired on and
killed instantly. Two other girls seven and
twelve wears old, were dangerously wounded
as was also Miss Belle Mckenzie, a twenty-five
year-old school teacher, boarding with Nc
Millan's family. Mrs. John Mcmillan and a
man named Llewellyn were seriously wounded.
In tho hurry to leave the building little three
year-old child of McMillan's was forgotten and
it was burned to death.
After shooting down every one in sight, Nc
Millan's store was looted and the gang went for
Sims home. six mile, distant The news
spread with alarming rapidity, and q posse
was quickly summoned and pursuit given.

The building. however, will not be occupied
until the beginning Of another school year next

School will continue to occupy rooms in the
