Price. as Baron Philip Koteck, made a success.
Mr.. Price is an acter whose conceptions are
rarely at fault. His best work last night was
shown in the first ac., in his interview with the
yiiiAiu Stack, Just before the duel. The climax
in the first act is fine. Miss Isabel
Norris appeared as Baroness koteck, and
sustained the part with her wonted
ability and finish. Her womanly de-
nuncistion OF Stack in the second act was
impassioned and realistic The light comedy
parts OF Raphael Murrillo and Olga Vodana
were res pectively borne by Mr.. Andrew Waldron
and Miss Jennie CALEB Mr.. Waldron gave q
very clever portrayal of the crack-brained
artist. His work was pleasing. Miss Calef took
of the rich husbaud-hunter in q manner both
spirited and humorous. The heavy character,
Naiar Stack, received praIseworthy treat
rnent from Mr. Fraucis Powers, vino delineated
the geutemanly villain with force. Mr.. George
Berry irnpersonated Nepomuk Stack with his
capital double OF the Count D'Arigny. Miss

and little Annie DevliI. in the role of Little

Tug swamped-Notes.

The collision of the steamer Olympian with
the tug Virgil Price and Madison street coal
bunkers was the principal topic among marine
men on the water front yesterday, and every
one was at q loss for al explanation Of the acct
dent On any other theory than that the boat
was much closer to the " harf than the captain
realized lie explanation Of Captain Ander-
son, THAI the steamer WAS caught oy sudden
gust OF wind, was gcofsd 81 as ridiculous.
The Virgil Price was insured for $500 in the
Firemans Fund Insurance Company OF San
Francisco, which is represented here By Calhoun,
B=rrill & Co. Captain Price fixes the loss at
ss0o0, as be does not think the
wreck Will more than pay for
the raising OF il. He says the 0lympian will
be held responsible Tor the whole damage and,
ii she is insured. her underwriters will have TO
reimburse her; that be will look TO his under
writers Tor the "a, 900 insurance On his boat and
to tie olympian for the remainder of the loss,
aud his underwriters VIII also look TO the
OlymPisn for reimbursement for the $1,000 in
surance- He will not attempt TO raise the wreck
until the loss has been adjusted. He says he
had quite an amount OF towing engaged and the
damsge is really greater than the loss OF the
boat He expects TO replace her ss soon a. pos
sible.
Port Captain Rsthbone, of the Union Pacific
Companys line, said he had no positive evil
dence that the oiympian was insured, but he
felt safe IN saying that she was, and the damage
would be adjusted between the two insurance
companies having risks on the two boats.
Il was rumored last evening that Captain
Anderson had been removed from the OIympian
on her return from Victoria, but inquiry at the
conpany's wharf revealed the fact that he
simply remained over in order to take the Vic

Der. in San Francisco, there came in from the
northern collieries s,119 tons, and from foreign
sources 43,ei7 tons, tne latter mostly in ballast
and consequently disposed OF at a very low
rate. The local dealers even seem to deem it
entirely possible that some of this foreign coal

product One OF the coal agents yesterday said
that 1t would be good idea TO ask congress for
sufficiently high duty to keep out the foreign
