NORTHERN PACIFIC ENTERPRISES.
A New Line of Steamers Between Taco
ma and China.

A New Line of Steamers Between Taco
ma and China.
NEW YORK, May 25.-The announce
ment that the Northern Pacific has sue
ceeded in establishing a line of steamers
between Tacoma and China and Japan
is confirmed here. Arrangements have
been completed with an English syndi-
cate by which new company, called
the Northern Pacific Steamship compa-
ny, has been formed. The president is
Sir William Pearce of London, who or
ganized the Canadian Pacific Steamship
company. There will be three ships,
under the British flag. Voyages will be
made monthly in each direction,
and within a year it is hoped
to have a semi : monthly service.
The first steamer OF the new company
left Hongkong May 2lst. The line has
been opened in time to carry part of the
tea crop, of which the Northern Pacific
has hitherto transported about rs per
cent. The steamship line will take the
ocean earnings and the Northern Pacific
the overland, the railroad having, as
company, no pecuniary interest in the
steamers. The steamship line will de-
liver exclusively to the Northern Pacific,
but will compete for exports Of the Pa
cific coast at all points.

FATE OF THE SHIP ST. CHARLES,
Shattered by an Explosion of
Gas in Her Hold at Sea.
The Captain Killed and Two of the
Crew Frightfully Injured.
Narrow Escape of the Rest with Their
Lives-The Burning Vessel Aban-
doned just Before She
Foundered.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN Francisco, May 25.-The crew Of
the ship st. Charles, which was blown
up off the Oregon coast on the 18th in
slant, arrived here today on the steamer
Willamette Valley. The st. Charles left
Nanaino with cargo OF coal May 18th
and experienced heavy seas for three
days. On the morning of the 18th the
second mate, Mike Flynn, and Charles
Lenberg, sailor. went to the fore hatch
to get some potatoes, taking with them
the ships lantern. Louis Strandburg, a
sailor, spoke to the men and saw the
mate pass Lenberg the lantern. Lenberg
was reaching through hole into the
fore part of the ship, and was about to
crawl through, when an explosion oc-
cured and Flynn was lifted bodily in
the air. He fell at Strandberg's feet
with great hole in his scalp and his
legs burned to crisp. Lenberg was
thrown back against ladder and was
terribly cut and burned. f
Strandburg's beard was einged by the
flames, which shot from the hole, follow
ing the roar Of the explosion. Ned Kiley,
sailor, who was on deck at the time,
states that when the explosion occurred,
the ropes, hawsers and main hatch were
hurled from the deck by the force, and
the deck opened wide from the after
part of the house to the stern. The
spanker-boom was carried away, the
wheel-house tipped over. and the ship
generally demolished. The rigging was
on fire and the pumps would not work.
Captain Chapman was found pinned
to the floor in his cabin under an over
turned sofa and book case. The cap
tain's spine was broken, and he was in
great agony. The men extricated him
with difficulty from among the shattered
timbers. and made haste to get into the
boats, as the vessel was sinking. There
were nineteen men divided among the
three small boats.
When last seen the st. Charles's main
sail was afire and the ship laundering.
The boats were 200 miles from land,
without a compass. They succeeded in
making Cape Foulweather safely, and
there Captain Chapman died. Lenberg
and Second Mate Flynn were taken to
Newport, Ore, by the survivors, who
then came to this city. Flynn is ex-
pected to die. The sailors believe coal
gas, ignited by the lantern, caused the
explosion. ,f aeq

the United States within the past few

Old Board of Directors Re- Re-elected-FIat-
tering Reports for the Year.
New York, May 25.-The annual
meeting of the Pacific Mail stockholders
resulted in the reelection OF the old
board OF directors. The report showed !:
Gross earnings for the fiscal year, $4,-
400, 1852; operating expenses, $3,63S, ,C55 /;
net earnings, $72l ,207.
President George Gould in his report
says the gross earnings increased, but
the net earnings decreased slightly, ow-
ing to the fact that the company was
compelled to spend large amount to
put the feet in condition to meet the in
creased requirements for speed and pas
sengers, to qualify under the subsidy
law for carrying mails. 4.
Vice-PresidentH Houston said the earn
ings, including the amount expended to
comply with the subsidy law, were
equal to AZ per cent of the stock.

bullion, IL to 20. Hill was in his seat,
but did not vote.
ohThe Democratic senators who voted
yea were: Gray, Palmer and Villas.
The Republican senators who voted nay
were: Allen, Mitchell, Paddock, Petit
grew, Power, Sanders, Shoup, Squire,
Stanford, Stewart, Teller, Wofcott.
Morgan modified his resolution by
adding new paragraph inetructing the
finance committee to report a supple
mentary act providing for the coinage
OF gold and silver bullion on equal terms
as to each metal, and authorizing de-
positors OF gold or silver bullion to re-
ceivea coin certificate for it at its mint
value.
Sherman said it seemed to him that
the approaching political conventions
had more to do with the resolution than
the senate had. This, he thought, was
not proper time to debate the ques-
tion, especially when the executive
ment for an international conference.
The inevitable effect of free coinage OF
silver would be to lower the standard of
despoil the pensioner; injure every de-

cumulations of the rich and disturb all
business life; and all for what? Simply
to substitute silver instead OF gold for
coinage. Free coinage of silver, instead
of being measure of relief for the peo-
pie, would be the severest load ever
placed on the shoulders of those who
depended on their labor for their daily
bread. He was as much In favor of sill
yer as any western senator, but the only
way in which to make gold and silver
work in harmony was to put them on a
ratio fixed upon their market value.
Stewart was opposed to an interna-
tional conference until some of the
powers expressed in an authoritative
way that they would rehabilitate silver
on some terms.
Morgan spoke in favor of his resolu-
tion. He referred to Sherman as hav-
ing headed the march for the utter
destruction of silver, and said he (Sher-
man) was now candidate for the
presidency, and therefore desired to
make friends by saying he was in favor.
if possible, of the equal coinage Of gold
and silver.
Sherman said he had not the slightest
interest in the passage of the act of
1873. The story had been refuted over
and over again.
The matter went over without action.
The bill to provide for punishment for
violations of the treaty rights of aliens
was taken up, but without disposing. OF
it the senate adjourned.

]. PETRIFIED MCDOWELL.
THE MAN WHO WAS TURNED TO
STONE IN INYO COUNTY.
He Used to Run With Joaquin-Recog-
nized by an Antioch Man who was
Cowboy with Him.

John T. mcdowell OF Inyo county iH
in town, says the San Francisco Exam
iner. He is not registered at any of the
hotels, but occupies long rectangular
box. covered with wire netting, in a
room on Kearney street. The trouble
with John is that he is petrifed.
He was discovered by G. P. Mccoy on
the Oath of February last. about ten
miles southeast of Mount Whitney, in
Inyo county. and was promptly cleared
of the chunks OF limestone and other
things that had become part OF him dur
ing the twenty years he has been petri-
tying, and was brought here by Mr.. Nc.
Coy, who is going to exhibit him.
All of this was told by Mccoy, go it
must be true, for showmen never te II
untruths.
In life Mr.. Mcdowell was great big,
dangerous person of the vaquero variety,
who was considered bad man and was
believed to be one Of Joaquin Murietta's
men. He cut considerable of swath
and various other people in the southern
part of the state q quarter OF century
ago. EOS
They know this is John because he
lacks the little finger on his left hand
and had bad scar from his left ear to
his mouth. This was done by Mexi-
can, who Immediately went out OF the
cutting business and took up q lot OF
real estate about six feet by two.
Something over twenty years ago Nc
Dowell disappeared and was heard no
more of until last February, when Mr..
Mccoy went out with party on q hunt
ing trip from Fresno. They went about
one hundred and fifty miles, intending
to climb Mount Whitney, which is situ-
ated in the midst OF lot of country
Creator in making up. One day Mr..
Mccoy shot quail, and it rolled down
into little arroyo. As he stopped to
pick it up he saw foot extending from
the bank. If there is anything more
startling than human foot under such
circumstances it is two feet, and there
were two of these. h
q The party soon had the rest of the
stone gentleman exhumed.
There was another body there, but it
was further away from the lime-charged
water and was not good job in petri-
fed way, for it crumbled as soon as the
air touched it.
They had hard time getting McDow-
ell out of the mountains. He weighs
nearly 500 pounds and they brought him
en- sort OF stretcher loaded on two bur-
ros. The stretcher broke down in q bad
place and the petrified mans head and
both feet broke off. But they brought
the pieces along and he looks all right
now. a,t,a g 4.t,ti .saart,e
The petriied man is supposed to have
been buried by some of Joaquin's men,
for near by was a cave where the rob
bers used to stop. He lies with his head
turned slightly to one side and his hands
crossed upon his breast. He is six feet
two inches tall, and must have been
very muscular. He was red-haired in
life. and is about the color of patent
sidewalk. lair gHlg
He was first recognized by Bud Gan
of Antioch, who strolled in to see the
petrified man, and then started back,
saying: es ea
"Ha! my long-lost side partner"
For Gan and Mcdowell were vaqueroe
together long time ago. !

ROOSEVELT VS.. wANAMAKER.

The Civil Service Commissioner Scores
the. Postmaster General.
WASHINGTON, May 25.-Civil Service
Commissioner Roosevelt this morning
submitted to the house civil service
committee copy of letter he sent to
Postmaster General Wanamaker on the
10th instant. In the letter Roosevelt
says, as Wanamaker turned over to the
the committee the report of the post
Office inspectors in the Baltimore offices,
in which they charge Roosevelt with un-
fairness and partiality in the investi-
CATION of that Office, with
out comment, he (Roosevelt) must
assume that Wanamaker assumed re-
sponsibility for the impertinence of his
subordinates. Roosevelt said he re-
therefore reluctantly compelled to as-
sumo that the postmaster.general made
these statements as his own.
The postmaster general had said it
was not for him to consider whether the
inspectors report contained anything
that could be construed as disrespectful
or hostile to the civil service commits
sion.
Roosevelt said he had received no
answer to the letter. and was reluctantly
obliged to assume that the postmaster
general made the statements as bis own. J..
He declined to allow the postmaster
general to shelter himself behind bis
subordinates, and asserted that the
statements of the inspectors are SANDER
GUS falseh hoods.
The committee voted to request the
postmaster-genera to furnish written
copy of the report he had said the as.
sistant attorney. general made verbally
in which he held that contributions to
primary elections were not political con.
tlibutions as contemplated in the civil
service law.
