OVER THE OCEAN.
A Fair Passenger on the
MOnOWai.
She Crosses the Pacific Alone to
Meet and Marry Her Wait
ing Lover.

immigration Commissioner Stradley is a
young man and single. One of his duties
as an officer of the United States is to see
that no one under contract lands on the
domain Of Uncle Sam. But Yesterday a
fair young lady got the best of him. She
was pretty blonde, petite and rosy
checked, and young withal. When Mr.
Stradley saw her unattended among the
steerage passengers aboard the Monowai
he was surprised she was travelling alone
Then he became interested and curious.
She seemed so out of place among the
steerage passengers that he reached for
the vessels manifest and found that she
was Miss Francis Ann Pearce. and was
en- route to Los Angeles. She had shipped
at Melbourne. Australia, and gave her age
a IS. and she said she was native of
Melbourne, "a Victorian"
Mr.. S.radley glanced at the fair traveller
with his official eye and yentured the
query:
''Where are you going?"
ITO Los Angeles"
"Are you going to meet any relatives
No" she replied. and then quickly
stammered, Yes" and Immediately pro-
ceeded to heighten her beauty by blushing
profusely.
The Commissioner stammered and
hemmed and finally burted OUT
IF you are going TO meet relatives, who
and what are they ?"
''Well," she said. getting redder and
redder, sit you must know [ am going TO
meet my husband-nOt my husband, but
my husband who is to be. | am engaged
to him, and be is going to meet me in Los
Angeles and we are going to be married
there"
Lucky felow!' gasped Mr.. Stradley
"you can land" AS she tripped down the
gangplank, the fair Victorian remarked
~ Ou Americans ask too many questions"
And as she disappeared in the throng the
commissioner, with something akin to a
sigh, abstractediy said: 'It must be
pretty nice to have such pretty girl come
so far to marry one"
Miss Pearce did not tarry long in San
Fran cisco. but took the first train bound
south and before long will be with her
lover. who should appreciate such devo-
tion.
But Commissioner Stradey's official
mind is in doubt whether size should have
been allowed to land. That is to say, did
she come here under cOntract?"

The First Essential for Employment

gett the Superin tendent, yesterday, with a
decidedly what-are- We holding g-office-f for

A few days ago c. A. Miller of 5261s
Valencia street was discharged. Mr. Mil
ler is a veteran of the war and always
gave satisfaction in his position, but the
exlgencies Of the political field required
his dismissal and he had to go.

make room for Democrat" said Mr..
Daggett yesterday afternoon. when l

Lincoln Post ard other Grand Army
posts have recommended men for positions,
but they have been Democrats and were
appointed as such. If we filed all the
offices in the control of the Government
with veterans nobody else would get

Mr.. Daggett further stated that be was
glad to have an opportunity to be set right
upon the question, as he wanted 1t dis

IN TWO WRECKS.
Experience of Chinese
From Mexico.
The Four Chinese Deportees Aboard
the New York Have to Go to
Jail Again.

Two Chinese were aboard the wrecked
City of New York who seem to be pecu-
liarly unfortunate. Their names are Coy
Ling and Cong Lou, and they were also on
the Newbern when that steamer ran
ashore at st. Vincent. They are on their
way from Guaymas. Mexico. to China. but
do not seem TO be getting there very fast.
When the Newbern was wrecked Coy
and Cong. with the other passengers, were
brought here on the Corona, but as they
were in transit the customs authorities
took charge of them at the Pacific Mail
dock aud put them on the City of New
York. They had only got as far as the
heads when their second unpleasant expe-
rience occurred.
They are now aboard the fourth vessel
since they lett Guaymas, viz: the Aca-
pulco, and the steamboat people were
very much agitated yesterday when the
two Chinese were walked up her gang
plank. They, like most seafaring men.
have their little superstitions, and are in
clined TO regard Cong and Coy not as
voodous.
Meanwhile, the innocent objects of
Caucasian superstition are feeling very
miserable and appreheDd that all manner
Of them has several hundred Mexican dol
lars, which were safely brought down in
the treasury of the Newbern by the
Corona, and subsequently escaped from
the City Of New York with the owner
There were also on the City of New York
four Chinese vino were just starting home
under sentences of deportation. Marshal
Thomas NJ. Weaver of New York brought
one, All Sun; Marshal Philip G. Keifer of
Philadelphia another, Wong Nee; Marshal
George E. Gard of Los Angeles The third,
Wong Sing, and Marshal Long of this dis
trict had just taken aboard the fourth, Ii o
Tai.
AS the customs authorities have nothing
more to do with Chinese ordered to be de-
ported than to put up the money for the
steamboat passage and incidental ex-
penses. and the marshals performed their
duty as soon as they turned their charges
over to the steamboat company, it looked
for time as IL the company would have
to keep and care for the four deportees
until the next steamer sailed. United
States District Judge Morrow, however,
came to its rescue and ordered Marshal
Long to take charge of the Mongols, on
the representation that the steam boat COM
pany did not have proper and safe place
to keep them. Accordingly they are now
languishng in the Broadway jail.

NEW MILK ORDER.
The Branch Receiving Hospital on
the Water Front.

w
The Health and Police Committee Of the
Board of Supervisors yesterday took up
the proposed milk ordinance, the main
features of which were recently published
in THE CALL. The object of the order is
to prevent as much as possible the sale of
adulterated milk. A large number of
dairymen were present at the meeting, and
together with the committee and Drs Long
and Regensburger of the Board of Health
went over every proposal in the order.
The dairymeD, who represented all the
large dairy firms, all seemed to be anxious
TO have strong order passed. They ex-
pressed a willingness TO pay an annual tax
of S. for each dairyman and 50 for each
milk inspector.
Supervisor Dundon and DR.. Rogers
burger had quite a passage at arms, ih
which the doctor said the Board of Health
should not be dictated TO by the Board of
Supervisors. He insisted that the former
board should bave all to say In regard 10
tine duties and reports of inspectors.
DR.. Long did not think that the reports
of inspectors should be made public, but
Supervisor DundOn believed that the
Board of Supervisors should regulate the
duties of the inspectors, and that all their
actions should be public. 1t was finally de-
cided to recommend that the milk order be
passed to print at the next meeting OF the
board.
The committee decided to visit the water
front and see If rooms could not be pro-
vided in or near the har5or police stations
for a branch Receiving Hospital on the
water front.

SAMOAN AFFAIRS.
Action Taken by Foreign
Naval Officers.
Rival Factions of Natives Compelled
to Abide by an Enforced
Truce.
CorrespondenceIof the Associated Press.

APIA. Samoa, Oct. 9.-The support given
to King Malietoa's Government in sup
pressing Mataafa's rebellion has been fol-
lowed up by further action on the part of
the men-of-war in the harbor. For long
time two rival parties in Tutuila have
waged a desultory war, which finally
necessitated the intervention Of the
Samoan Government. Both sides claim to be
supporters Of the Government. and repre-
sent their opponents as rebels. But, as a
matter of fact, both parties have simply
taken advantage of the weakness of the
central Government to fight out their
differences and obtain redress for old
wrongs.
On the 22d of September, the British
man-of-war Katoombs, followed by the
German gunboats Bussard and Sperber
left this port for Pagopago, having on
board the Secretary of State. T. Maben, and
chiefs represeE ting the Government. Upon
arrival. the chiefs were Immediately
landed, an6 called meeting of the people
for the following Monday. On that day,
Captain BickfoT6 of the KatOOmba and
Mr.. Maben met the leading people, and
the Kings proclamation was read. 1t COM
manded the chiefs that were implicated in
the troubles to proceed Immediately in the
men.of-war to Apia in order that proper
investigation of the matters in dispute
could be held.
At sundown the chiefs went on board
the man. -Of-war. and were next morning
transferred to the Sperber, which carried
them and the Government representatives
to Apia. The Bussard went to Aunuu. the
Headquarters of the other party, with the
Government representatives, and similar
proclamations were read. The Bussard
returned to Apia, while the Katoomba re-
mained a few days at Pagopago to see
that the truce which had been entered
into between the rival parties was duly
observed. The chiefs have been handed
over to the Government to stand their
trial for the deaths which they have
caused.
Taxes have been paid latsly to the
amount of about $4,000, and the Govern
ment is in possession of ready cash after a
long spell of hopeless insolvency. They
have redeemed all the debentures issued.
and as the taxes are due again in January
the country is now fairly prosperous and
bids fair to be able to carry on the Gov
ernment administration.

SCORED.
Plain Speaking in a Decision by the
Supreme Court.

Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court rendered decision
in Los Angeles the other day wherein
some uncomplimentary remarks were made
concerning the methods adopted by counsel
in filing briefs for the courts con sidera-
tion. The Attorney-General, through
Deputy Attorney General Layson. came in
for scoring, as did Attorney c. c.
Stephens.
1t was in the case of the People of the
State of California against George Abbott.
Abbott was convicted of burglary before
Judge B. N. Smith of Los Angeles. De-
fendant's attorney. c. G. Stephens, took an
appeal to the Supreme Court on errors.
The after was submitted on briefs. and
a lengthy opinion was written by Supreme
Court Commissioners Haynes, Temple and
Belcher.
The attorneys above mentioned were re-
buked in the opinion in the following
terms:
"A very large number Of exceptions
were taken by appellant upon the trial aud
referred to in the brief of his counsel. but
we regret to say that the brief gives US
little aid beyond the mere reference TO tho
folio in the transcript where the exceptions
are found, and on the part of the people
the brief of the Attorney-General. pre-
pared and signed by his first deputy, is
little more than a pert if not impertinent
denial that there is anything of merit in
the alleged errors referred to by ap
pellant's counsel.
Where the protection of the people
against crime upon the one side and the
liberty of a citizen is at stake upon the
other, the questions involved are of such
Importance as to require careful examina-
ton and discussion by counsel in order
that just conclusions may be reached by
the court"
In conclusion the Supreme Court. after
due consideration of the points submitted,
reversed the judgment of the court below
and ordered new trial.
