A MURDERER REPRIEVBD.
Counsel Secure Another Stay
for Bruggy.
An Appeal From the Judgment Of Death to Be
Taken on Technical Grounds 10 the
Supreme Court.

Judge McKenna in the United States Cir
cult Court yesterday morning, on motion of
Carroll Cook. granted George w. II. Bruggy
stay of proceedings, 10 allow an appeal to
be taken to the United States Supreme
Court.
In its legal aspects Bruggy's case is SIM
liar to the McNulty case. Both men are
under sentence Of death for murder.
The ground of appeal is that the law OF
1891, making San Quentin the place of exc
cution, repealed so much of the former law
as authorized Sheriffs to hang convicted
murderers.
The Supreme Court of California has
already decided that the law of 1891 did not
repeal the law so far as murderers con-
victed after its passage whose crime was
committed before its enactment were con-
cerned.
Bruggy was under sentence to be hanged
at Santa Rosa this morning.
The following telegram announced the
news in Santa Rosa:
SANTA Rosa. Cal, Sept. 29.-After being
brought four times to the threshold of
death and suffering all the mental agony
natural to a man who believes himself on
the brink of eternity. George w. ii. Bruggy,
the Windsor murderer, is again saved by
the law. This morning Sheriff Mulgrew re-
celVeu a Telegram from carroll COOK TO the
effect that Judge McKenna has allowed an
appeal in the Bruggy case and ordered ex-
ecntion to be stayed pending the appeal.
Brnggy received the news without much
show of feeling"
Bruggy's wife returned to Santa Rosa yes
terday afternoon from this city.
She has been using her best endeavors In
her husbands interests and anxiously
awaited Judge McKenna's decision yes ter
day morning.
She was much relieved by the respite,
and left believing that Bruggy's life might
yet be spared in spite Of his offense against
the law

KILLING OFF THE SEALS.
A Russian Charge Against
British Poachers.
The Steamer Kotick Arrives From the Rookery
Islands With Large Number Of
Skins Aboard.

Yesterday morning the Russian sealing
schooner Kotick arrived in port with 33, 0OC
sealskns on board.
She anchored in the stream, when she was
fumigated by the health officers, after which
she tied up at the Lombard-street wharf.
The voyage down from Petropaulovsky y
was made in seventeen days, during all Of
which fine weather prevailed.
Captain Tchukoff reported that the Brit
ish ship Carmelite has been seized by the
Russians for pOachiug.
There were eight passengers on board,
among them being Governor binbtZky
of the Copper. Bering and Robin islands,
who is on his way to ST. Petersburg with
important papers and proofs on the depre-
dations committed by English poachers on
the seal islands.
He says the Seal Islands are about cleaned
out and that next year will yield less than
20 600 skins.
The Governor was quite explicit about
this matter OF English seal poacherS.
He said that this year some 10000 seals
were taken, and a repetition Of this whole
sale and indiscrminating slaughter next
year would mean the extinction of the seal
skin industry.
The poaching this year was nearly all the
work of British sealers.
Inc scn0oner6 captured already near
Copper Island were the Carmelite, Will e
McGowan, Rose Olsen, Vancouver Belle.
Ariel, Maria-all English yessels-and the
Z. Ii. White, an American schooner.
The worst of ii was that every one of
these vessels have been taking seals heavy
with young. In fact, 96 per cent Of the
skins taken were of females.
The chief sealing stations are at Copper,
Berlng and Robbin islands. and round these
some Sixty BTltISh pUucncIS HUVeTtU.
The British gunboat Penelope was in
Bering Sea during the season and made d o
protest, though seizures of her coantry's
vessels took place under her very eyes.
Not that protest would have availed
much with the Russian gunboats Jakut and
Zubiaka, together with the Vitisz, the ad-
miraPs boat, which directed operations
against the illegal destruction of the
rookcries.
The Rose Olsen escaped by her captain
winning the sympathy of the admiral for
his sick wife and poverty. The admiral
took pity ON him. gave him the Vancouver
Belle and hurried him out of Russian
waters, so that lawsuit over the owner
ship of the Belle may be expected.
On all the vessels captured were dis
covered ample proofs of illegal action, and
the Governor is now taking them 10 Russia
to sustain his official report.
Governor Grablnb btZkY was here ten years
ago, and on his last visit 10 ST. Petersburg
married the niece of the Russian Minister
of Foreign Affairs. His wife and five chill
dren accompany him, ana propose spending
the coming winter in Russia.

Before he could do so the door was
broken open and Willie looked into the

The Oceanic Steamship Company's
steamer Alameda arrived in port yesterday
morning, after twenty-fOur days trip from
Sydney.
The trip was uneventful and quiet. The
mate said there was a "molasSes" ocean all
the way.
On the passage stops were made at Homo
lulu and Apia.
There were fifty cabin passengers and
eighiy-two steerage On the passenger list
and the ship carried a general cargo and
nearly q million dollars worth Of English
gold. consigned to the London and Paris
Bank.
There was great deal Of growing done
by the steersge passengers, as they were
not allowed TO land until nearly two hours
after tile vessels arrival because the I'M
migrant Commissioner did not appear.

The fOuT-masted schooner Aloha sailed
yesterday for Honolulu, after some delay
caused by the attempts Of union sailors to
interfere with:the nOn-union men the vessel
had engaged as crew.
1t was known Wednesday afternoon that
non union crew would be taken and the
union men at once began to hang around the
dock.
Late Wednesday night one of the men
started for his home from the schooner, but
had gone only short distance up Mission
street when he was assaulted by union men
and threatened with a beating if he did not
agree to leave the vessel
He refused and the whole mob jumped on
him and just about used him up. He was
beaten numerically and was scarcely able
to get home. But he got into shape so as to
sail with the Aloha yesterday.
The union men hung around the wharf
all day yesterday and made threats to the
nOn-union men on the vessel.
Several times they were on the point of
making rush on the vessel. but were re-
strained by the squad Of police who were
on duty at the wharf all day.
The Aloha got away at O'Clock and took
two police officers on board, as it was said
an attempt would be made to board the YES
sci by.union men outside the heads.

THEY WANT A PRESS RATE.
England Butchers American News Sent

England Butchers American News Sent
to Australia.
1--WE want lower cable rates for Austria
lia." said ID. III. Neale to CALL reporter
at the Palace. Here are some curious
facts for you to digest. There are no press
rates for cable messages directly between
Australia and the United States.
Ordinary direct messages cost 81 33 q
word, and the rate will presently be raised
to 81 66. That's prohibtive now. We are
strongly interested in American affairs over
there.
''As it stands we are compelled to get
your news transmitted at press rates via
England. The result is laughable. The
English have no idea of American matters.
Their selections of items for Australian con-
sumption from their American budgets are
ridiculous in the extreme.
1.-The reports of the late Lehigh Railroad
strike as given to us from the old country
set all the Australian colonies laughing
with merriment. They were tissue of
nonsense.
''But 1t Is a serious matter when you
come to think OF it gravely.
I'VE want accurate and sensible news
direct The English repeating agencies are
useless to meet the demand. Ordinary mes
sages between England and Australia cost
81 word. The press rate is % cents a
word.
'There is 10 earthly reason why direct
press rate should not be established between
the United States and Australia. But you
can't expect the cable companies to make a
rate till they are asked.
The British press messages to us on
their own affairs are perfect scandal. All
the kilograms sent on one day are contra
dicted the following day.

England. Why shouldn't we deal with your

The great voyage Of the whaling steamer
Mary D. Hume was one of the chief topics
Of conversation on Change yesterday.
Il have been looking up some old records
Of voyages made by New Bedford ships
years ago." said an old-time vessel-owner.

in the early ffties a good deal OF right

In the Okhotsk, and as soon as our people
found their way into the Arctic the sIaugh-

"Those were the days, though. when oil
was worth deal more than bone. Crude
whale oil was worth rs cents a gallon In
1852. while bone was worth only 80 cents a
pound; now it sells al s.. Sperm oil

AUSTRALIAN MINERS STRIKE.

The Silver Mines Have Been All Shut

"The most crucial question In New South

Neale, prominent Government official of
Sydney, TO a CALL reporter at the Palace.
THE miners are all on a strike and all the
mines shut down, including the world-re-
nowned Broken Hill mines.
Owing to the fall In silver values the
directors issued notices to the various
mines that they would pay piecework in

THE miners declared the notice too short
and breach Of existing contract and went
on strike.

feeling about changing the system of free
travel on trains from the ferry and back
through Oakland.
Upon this subject Mr.. Huntington states
that his plan of q depressed track on Sew
enth street has been found to be too ex-
pensIye.
He has lingering hope that the city of
Oakland will assist him in abolishng free
rides. and says that his company would be
very glad to cooperate with the city in
correcting the evil"
I'VE have not yet concluded what to do"
says Mr.. Huntington. 'as we want to az
range our road in such way as to accom-
modate to the fullest extent the people CT
Oakland and at the same time give the
stockholders of the company fair returns
when the improvements are made"
He also stated that the company is con-
SideriDg the matter Of extending the street
car monopoly in Oakland. but in what d.
rection and upon what particular streets he
does not know.
just at present he thinks that 1t Is not to
the company's advantage to transfer traffic
