OPTIONS on VESSELS FOR THE NAVY

ADMIRAL BROWN GETTING A POWERFUL TUG
AND FOUR BIG STEAMERS.
San Francisco, Dec. 90 Special. From informa-
ton gained here this evening, it looks as IL the
reports sent out from Washington of preparations
for trouble with Chill were true. Admiral Brown
yesterday secured the option Of new
and powerful tug, the Fearless just finished at the
Union Iron Works. She has a speed of sixteen
knots, and has coal enough on board for fifty days
to maintain ten-knot speed. II purchased by
the Government she will be supplied with two D.
inch guns and a secondary battery of four 60
Founders and four torpedo tubes. She is swifter
than the Gillian torpedo cruiser and far more
powerful.
Admiral Brown has also secured the
option on four OF Sprcckelss big
steamers the Zealandia, Australia Mariposa
and Alameda, to be used for transport service.
The Zealandia can be ready at ten hours notice
and all of the Others inside of three weeks.
The coast defence vessel Monterey can be made
ready in three days after her armor plate is re-
ceived Admiral Brown received his orders To-
day and the cruiser San Francisco will come
down from Mare Island in the morning and will
probably sail on Wednesday for Valparaiso

A RUFFIAN SHOT BY HIS "PAL"
PROBABLY ONE MEMBER THE LESS FOR THE

PROBABLY ONE MEMBER THE LESS FOR THE
STABLE GANG"
John Keating thirty years old, a member OF the
"Stable Gangn which makes drunken men In doorways

Ths two men have long been intimately associated with
the crowd of which Andy" Geoghegan, who was shot
while trying to kill policeman, and George Keiser
we're shining lights On Thursday Keiser was sent 70
penal servitude for twenty years for killing man on
Thanksgiving night. Kennedy once belonged to the
Stable Gang' but was expelled, the charge against
him being his dslnclination to steal For the last
few months he has worked at Motifs Iron Works.
Bottles Heating brother Of the who was
shot last night, was time ago sent ID Sing Sing
for three years charge of burglary and attempted
shooting Heating believed that Kennedy had secretly
put the police in possession of information which con-
victed his brother and resolved to lay for him.
Two weeks ago another member Of the Heating family
tried to stab Kennedy but only succeeded In cutting
his overcoat. Kennedy and Heating met yesterday
morning and engaged in fight. They separated,
and Heating went away vowing vengeance. Kennedy
still uses revolver with ready enthusiasm, said that
he would be ready for him. There are two versions
Of the shooting
Shortly after O'Clock last night Kennedy.
according to his own statement, was
standing on the corner OF seventeenthst., out
side OF John c. Foiey's barroom, when
Heating. followed by his faherlnaw George Sweeney,
rushed up to him, and drawing a knife made a lunge
at his breast. The knife missed its aim. In the
same instant Kennedy drew revolver There was a
shot, and then Kennedy ran into Foley's barroom.
Heating staggered after him. Detectives Gay and
Robinson, who were near by, followed the men into
the liquor shop and there canght Kennedy, VINO
handed thcm his revolver with these words II did IT

him out OF the saloon and, with Officer Lawlor. half
dragged him, half carried him. as far as Eighteenth
st. where he fell on the ground In faint. Now he
lies In bellevue Hospital. Laparoony was performed
on him, but there is little chance OF Ills recovery. He
served twelve months in the penitenary for shooting
at Policeman Jones.
sweeny says that Kennedy called Heating into the
street and there deliberately drew his revolver and
fired the shot.
