FUN ON STEAMER.
A Social Gathering on the
Costa Rica.
Arrival of the keweenaw-Central
American Business Is Dull.
A Bum and a Barrel.

1t is not often that there is party given
on board of merchant steamer or ship in
this herbor. but last night the officers of
the steamer Costa Rica entertained their
friends in royal fashion on board of their
vessel.
Captain James Mcintyre has been
five years. and is considered one OF the
best-natured and most experienced skip
pers that sails out of this port.
To show their appreciation of their COM
mander the officers and engineers of the
Costa Rica caused to be manufactured an
elegant silver pitcher. tray and cups, the
presentation Of which instigated the social
gathering of last evening
The Costa Rica was tastily decorated
between decks with flags, streamers and
flowers. Tables and chairs were removed
from the saloon and il was transformed
into a spacious dance hall.
Chief Engineer 2. NJ. Campbell, First
Assistant E. Stephenson, Second Assist
Second Officer Mcintyre and Third Officer
Morgan officiated at the presentation cere-
monies and arranged all the details of the
entertainment.
The North American Navigation Com :
pany's steamer keweenaw arrived yester-
day afternoon from Panama and Central
America. Business is very dull along ne
Central American coast, as it always is
during the months Of November and De-
cember.
Only 400 ton. of cargo were brought up
by the keweenaw, including through
New York freight.
A coat and vest were found on Howard
street wharf yesterday morning. and it

harbor police is that some man discarded
the clothing, as the coat was very much
torn and covered with dirt. and looked
more as il it had been dragged out of an
ash barrel than off the shoulders Of u hu-
man being.
Captain Pohlman of the steamer Oregon
and his officers have been transferred TO
the steamer George w. Elder.
TrampS along the city front are be-
coming numerous and aggressive. No
man with an air of wealth about him is
safe from their demands for coin, and no
salable article Is out of danger so long as
il remains in sight of the tired men,"
But no one ever imagined for one nstant
that even the degenerated tramps would
stOop TO stealing empty barrels. Such is
the case, however, and yesterday morning
a son of rest was seen coming down Clay
street with an empty barrel in front of
him. His destination was a junkstore
and his ambition was centered on four
fingers of waterfront rye. which he in
tended negotiating for after disposing of
the barrel.
On walked the man and on rolled the
barrel. and nearer and nearer came the
junkshop.
Suddenly out of the gloom Of the North
Pacific Coast ferry depot came Sergeant
MahoDey, and around the corner of a rear
street came the owner of the barrel. The
owner cried, Stop thief" ard the ser
geant responded. Barrel and man were
captured, and the latter charged with petty
larceny. The owner swore to the COM
plant. Sergeant Mahoney returned to his
beat. and quiet reigned again on the

County Hospital.

The Board of Health at It's meeting held
yesterday disposed of the Market Inspec-
tors who had been under investigation on
charges of bribery.
The three nspectors-Newman. an. Aurlch
and Barra-were accused of having re-
ceived money for the purpose of neglecting
their sworn duty. All the evidence ob-
tainable having been heard the cases were
submitted. Mayor Elert declared that
such official misconduct and neglect of duty
had never come under his notice before.
he was supported in this view of the cases
by Drs. Long and May.
1t was announced that while the specific
charge of bribery had not been ostablis shed.
it was shown that the inspectors had been
guilty OF gross neglect of duty, and a
motion was made that they be dismissed
This motion was carried by the votes of
the Mayor and Drs. Long and May. DIR.
Bucknell voted against the motion, and
DR.. Regensburger was excused from vot-
ing.

There are at present four professional
nurses employed in the hospital at salary
of $40 a month each. but DIR. Titus, the
superintendent. said that he thought the
expense would not be increased if the
training school were abolished and none
but professional nurses employed.
A slight exchange of words between the
Mayor ard DR.. Long followed, in which
tine latter claimed that the hospital was
not allowed money enough to maintain it.

thing that was not entirely satisfactory.
Mayor Ellert replied that when ne was on
the Hospital Committee of the Board of
Supervisors the appropriations for the
hospital were $4,000 year less than now.
and there were no complaints either.
1t was finally decided to hold meeting
next Wednesday, to which the various
physicians connected with the hospital
will be invited. and the matter of the
nurses training school will then receive
further attention.

HANDBALL CHAMPIONS.
Jones and Riordan to Play for the
international Championship.


The patrons and supporters of the great
Irish game of handball will be surprised
to learn that after months of discussion
and argument a match has finally been ar
ranged between Jack Riordan, the cham
pion haDdball player OF the Pacific Coast,
and John Jones, the champion of Aus

When Jones arrived from his native
country about twelve months ago he is
sued a challenge to play any man on the
Pacific Coast. Riordan's friends immedi-
champions behalf and offered to
back him against the Australian for
any amount The local man, when
he was apprised of the fact. refused
to play for any ybody's money, and said that
unless be could back his judgment and
ability with his own coin match could
not be made. The result was that Jones
could not be accommodated as Riordan
had not the collateral at that time to meet
the challenge issued by the foreign cham
pion. Jones in the meantime jOurneyed
to New York, where he played several of
the crack players. He returned recently,
expecting to leave on the last steamer for
Melbourne. but was delayed by friends of
Riordan, who had Informed him that if
he would stand by his former challenge a
match could be arranged. The champions
OF the respective countries met few even
ings ago and signed the following agree
ment. which speaks for itself:

TORY SCOUNDRELIsM.

The hopelessness of the fight against
Home Rule in Ireland is manifest from
the desperate and malignant attacks OF
the Tories on Gladstone and the Liberal
party, and especially in their abuse OF
the Irish nation. A Tory apparently
hates an Irishman quite as much as he
used to hate an American. Joseph Cham
berlain, who split of from the Liberal
party because of home rule, outtories the
Tories themselves in contemptuous filings
at the Irish in his remarks in parliament.
The result OF the foul language OF these
parliamentary sooundrels is beginning to
make itself manifest. A crank was ar
rested the other day for an attempt to
assassinate Gladstone, last week the
Grand Old Man was publicly insulted
while in the company Of the Prince Of
Wales, and last Friday while travelling
from London to Chester q heavy missile
was thrown at the Premier's compart
ment of the train. The missile missed
it's mark and struck the compartment o.
the Dean Of Chester, narrowly missing
that gentleman's head. The villainoui
course the Tories are pursuing will Ger
tainly arouse the temper Of the decen
portion of the English people in a wa,
th. '=ss' not be at all pleasant to tn
leaders and their murderous followers.

George Bromley, who was once Amer
lean Consul TO Singapore, and spent some
yeas in China, and who is an authority
on the subject informs the San Francisco
Call that the number of American resi-
dents in China is about 600. This esti
mate includes the missionaries and all the
masters of the coastwlse and river boats
as well as the resident merchants. "This
is about quarter of the number there
about twenty years ago" said Mr.. Brom'
lev. "While the Chinese have been
thinning out in the United States the
Americans in China have been doing like
wise. l cannot see that any serious re
suits would follow the deportation of
Americans from China. The Chinese are
driving them out as fast as possible, and
really all they are doing there now is
teaching the Chinese American tricks. +"
In regard to the American missionaries
now in China, Rev. DIR. Hartwell, head
of the Baptist missionary work. and for
fifteen years a resident of China, said
"There are 700 missionary stations in
China, scattered through sixteen out OF
the eighteen provinces of the empire. 1t
is estimated that there are now 1900
white missionaries ia China, and about
800 Of these are Americans. The mis-
sionaries are for the most part located in
the interior, very few of them being in
the coast ports: Americans in China are
required to register just the same. in one
sense of it, as the United States is ask
ing the Chinese to register. Americans
must procure passports in order to 20
about anywhere iii the empire. and the
process is just the same as registration.
Yet notwithstandingth ese facts, alot of
rattle headed fanatics are screeching
about the persecution" OF the "beau.
tiful" Orientals. Here is sample OF
the talk made by these semi-lunatics. 1t

those who framed the first free constitu-

tice is it to persecute the Chinese as long
as they are law.abiding! 1t is not the
Justice Of Christ. All those Oriental
people, with their beautiful religion,
should send missionaries to us to teach
US Christianity. When you destroy the

A DECISION OF IMPORTANCE.

The San Francisco Call says that the
California Supreme Court passed down
a decision of some importance last week.
II was in the case Of the People VS..
Bremmerly, affirming the judgment Of
the lower court. The defendant was
convicted of murder. The ground urged
for new trial was that before the final
submission Of the case certain OF the
Jurors separated from the others and
from the officer who had them in charge
and drank intoxicating liquors. The
Supreme Court holds that the mere fact
that the directions were violated does
not give to the defendant the right to
have the verdict set aside. Neither does
the mere fact that juror drank intoxi-
eating liquors during tho trial show that
the verdict was affected thereby. The
defendant should also show that the
juror was affected by the liquor which he
drank. or should at least show the quan.
tity and character Of the liquor.
