ing was very largely attended by an in
terested audience. After the regular bu-
siness had been disposed OF the paper on
Character, read By Mrs: Ghas. F. Hen
dryx at the previous meeting, was dis
cussed at some length. The paper Of the
occasion was an admirably written and
very thoughtfulessay apon the character
and career of Napoleon. by Or. J. A. Du-
bois, who held the rapt attention of his
hearers for a full half hour. He took adj
vance grounds in his severe arrangement
OF the motives as well as the action Of
Napoleon, plcturing him as a restless
monster, an Unsuitable gambler whose
stakes were thrones, "who PLAYED with
death where death must VIM He even
eenied him the possession Of military &c
MUS, citing his Peninsular and Russian
campaigns in confederation of his esti-
mate OF him, asserting that he would
never have risen to serious consideration
had these foolhardy undertakings been
essayed in his early career. There was a
charm about the paper which its very
audacity tended to heighten, The writer
eyinced careful study Of his subject and
had fortified himself to repel the attack
he invited. Among the statements made
was that no permanent good had result
ed from the fact Of Napoleon's existence,

-On Saturday evening there was a
peculiarly beautiful and brilliant display
of aurora borealis, such as is rarely seen
in this section of the country. In the
early evening the sky wasa bright red,

shades from light pink to crimson. The
snow reflected the bright colors, giving
it a sanguinary hue. After an hour of
enhancing beauty the coloring faded out
as the full moon thrust her disk above
the eastern horizon.

proclamation of September l, which quar-
antines all ships with immigrants in the
second-cbain or steerage for twenty days,
caused the detention of the Ham burg
American steamship Sueyia and the Hill
line steamship Richmond Hill in the bay
all day yesterday. The Suevia has 24S
cabin passengers. Among them are eighty
nine citizens and 159 aliens. The steam
ship arrived at quarantine Saturday night.
The quarantine officials fumigated her and
fitted her TO proceed to the dock. She was
intercepted by the revenue cutter Washing
ton and ordered TO remain in the bay until
orders were received from Washington per-
mitting her to 20 up.
The Richmond Hill from London was
also passed by the quarantine officials and
is also anchored near Bedloe's Island. She
has sixty-nine cabin passengers and six
steerage passengers. Sixty of her cabin
passengers are aliens. AS the Treasury
Department was closed Yesterday the agents
of the steamships could not get an order re-
leasing them, and they remained at anchor
all night. As they have clean bills of health
they will doubtless be allowed to land by
the Federal authorities. Eight Atlantic

Tba Chronicles support of East0n is

That unreliable sheet made a statement
that the employees of the Metropolitan
Streetcar Company were paid from S23 to

THAT story is lie," smphatically de-

RAN ON 4 SAND SPIT.
The Pacific Nail Steamer San Juan Meets
With an accident.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. THE Pacific Mail
steamer San Juan, from San Francisco for
Panama, Captain w. G. Pitts, arrived at
$50 and proceeded south at 2P.M. She
reports touching On i sand spit, four miles
north of Point Sal, between San Luis Obispo
and Santa Barbara, while in a dense fog.
She backed off Immediately and no damage
was doue.
The other side of the story as to the
grounding of the San Juan has Just been
learned from 6. A. Fitch OF San francisco,
en- route for Mazatlan on the steamer. He
says the passengers had noticed breakers
ahead as big as house and wondered why
the captain was so close in shore before she
struck. 1t was abeut Ills when she
grounded. apparently on rock, ana sheered
OF to the mainland, where she struck re-
peatedly, strained and worked and then
careened over so that the water ffOated
trunks IN lower stateroOms and broke the
glass oil the cabin windows. They were two
hours getting her off, which they finally did
oy putting an anchor astern and working
her. The mail on the hurricane deck was
wet. The captains face showed fear and
anxiety ana many passengers blame him
lor what was SO near to a disaster. Possibly
her hull will be examined, as the passen-
gers think it may be damaged.
FItch further says the vessel swung
around as she slackened and struck the
SANDY DeacD, ana was broadSlQ9 TO heavy
swells that washed all over her and MANAGED
the lift OF all on board. The captain re-
mained on the bridge giving orders to get
her off. There was no panic among the
passengers. but all blamed the folly OF run
ming so near the shore. as land had been
seen on the starboard several minutes be-
fore she struck. He says after getting off a
paper was circulated among the passengers
by certain ones interested in the steamship
company directly or indirectly to commend
the captain for his promptness and foresight.
Fitch declined to sign it.
This morning when the engineer started
the pumps to see If water was in the hold,
the captain objected, saying there could be
no damage from striking on the sand. Fitch
is willing to make an affidavit 10 this state
ment. lie is afraid TO proceed on the voy-
age unless her hull is examined
The captain of the San Juan forwarded
report 10 Lubbock. Inspector of Steam
Hulls at San Francisco. He says the vessel
didn't strike hard enough to break yard
