A TALE OF THE SEA.
Captain Williams of the Frederick Bill
ing Accused of Murder.

Captain Williams of the Frederick Bill
ing Accused of Murder.
If the stories told by the crew of the ship
Frederick Billings are true sailors life ON
board that ship must have been a hard one
According to what they say Captain Will
iams and bis mates ase charged with the
responsibility for the death of the six men
already mentioned in these columns.
When the ship was dismasted they say no
attempt was made to rescue those who went
overheard. Further than that, Charles
Brown makes a serious charge against the
captain. He says that when the captains
attention was cal ed to one of the
unfortunales who was entangled in
the wreck the captain took a boat
hook and pushed the poor fellow away
from the side of the vessel. Brown is not
alone in his claim that murder was COM
mitted, as jim Gleason, John Morgan aud
harry Nelson also tell the same story.
Nelson claims that he was brutally beaten
aud kicked by the officers, and that Charles
Creighton (who was subsequently killed by
a fall from alofD was so weak from abuse
and continuous hard work that be was
almost unable to stand when driven aloft
by the officers.
The men say they will prefer charges of
murder against Captain Williams before the
United States District Attorney.

Eastern Workingmen Moving for Chinese
Exclusion.

Eastern Workingmen Moving for Chinese
Exclusion.
The first intelligence of the way in which
the Eastern workingmen propose to fight
for Chinese exclusion reached this city yes
terday In the form of a communication to
the Laborers' Union from w. II. Allen of
the Knights of Labor of New York City.
Allen writes that clubs are being formed
throughout the East to advocate the resIric-
ton of immigration.
Their plan provides for the restriction of
immigration by: % The imposition of a
head tax of not less than $50 on all immi-
grants other than Chinese; o. The Stump
bill for the restriction of Chinese immigra-
tloii; (3l An annually increasing head tax
on all Chinese coming into the country.
Inc clubs propose TO give the House,
which is Democratic, to understand that if
il fails 10 pass the bill they will hold that
party responsible, and il the Senate refuses
to pass it, or the President vetoes it, they
will hold the Republican party responsible.
Inc Laborers' Union, in accordance with
the suggestions OF the communication, will
endeayOr to form restriction clubs through
out the Coast.
Victoria has asked for and obtained the
white label OF the Cigar-makers' Union in
order that it may prevent the sale of goods

ing the rising population In the best

ture is about to be established in the Stan

readily admitted TO a CALL reporter yester-
day that he was an applicant for tie posi-
ton Of Assistant Professor Of Horticulture.
He was quite enthusiastic over the decision
OF the faculty to establish the chair. which
piONcus ediu. THAT tie was
fully alive to the necessities OF the great
State industries and intended doing all in its
power to foster them.
Mr.. Smith is known throughout California
and the East as an enthusiast in the
science. He has been connected with the
FTuit-Grower for the past TWO years. and

he will make himself acquainted with the
methods 10 vogue in The best schools of the
world. and also take note Of everything
airing upon the practical side OF the in
dustry.

H. A. Parsons ESTATE.
Judge Coffey Confirmed Title Under
Executors' Sale.

Judge Coffey Confirmed Title Under the
Executors Sale.
The cOntestee sale by the executors of
real property of the estate of Hiram A.
Pearsons included IN the block bounded by
Drumm, Market, East and Washington
streets has been coufrDed by Judge Cof-
fey. Alter the sale. 1t VIII be remem be red,
the attorneys for the purchasers declined to
pass the title. on The ground that the execu-
tors, under recent decisions of the Supreme
Court, have no power TO make deed which
will bar the claims of an unknown wife or
heir.
The Court held. first. that the executors
did not agree TO give any better title than
they had. and as all the purchasers agreed
in the statement that they knew how affairs
stood before bidding there was no occasion
to relieve them. Second The evidence
showed that Pears0ns never was married,
and even IL he were and had left pre-
tcrmttcd ,ielr the Court could not perfect
the title Of the purchasers by making an
order Of sale.
An appeal will undoubtedly be taken to
the Supreme Court, aud thus the real prop
erty OF the estate will be tied up. The prin-
cipal pieces of property affected by the
purchase are as follows: Lewis Spiegel,
let and brick building on Merchant street,
extending through to Washington, 40 feet
front, $4,000; ID. w. Tietjen, lot on East
street near Washington. 24x58 feet. $50, 600 /;
lot southwest corner of Washington and
East 33x38 feet, S3l 900; John L. English,
lot and building on Merchant, through to
Washington. 1877: feet east of Drumm
S37 600.

Several names are mentioned in connec-
tion with the sending of delegates to the
Republican National Convention, 10 be held

number of suggested are: George 4.
Knight, Percy Beanish. James Carrick,

Attorney kuef is a strong POLITICAL friend
and supporter Of Ambrose " ats0n, who has
just been dismissed fTom his position as
CLERK Of Police Court 3. 1t is said that he
has threatened Crimmins and Kelly that
unless they secure Watson's reinstatement
that he would join forces with Wilson and
Burns. His action IS awaited with interest.
Mike Smith says that if Ruef carries out h
threat he will join issue with the Third
street pair and force the present deadlock
in the committee into stronger position
than ever.
At Mondays meeting Chairman Stump
returned resolution offered by Senator
Mahoney without having the same read. 1t
seems that Mr. Stump's innate modesty
caused him to refrain from putting the TesO-
luton TO The meeting. Il reads as follows:
