THE CORWTN TO GO
Prepared to Start on Her
Secret Mission.
No Source of Information Open Where
Positive Facts Could Possibly
Have Been Obtained.

Interest of political and seafaring
nature was concentrated on the revenue
cutter Thomas COrwin all of yesterday,
and the Treasury Departments neat little
steamer was an object of attraction for
many eyes as she lay alongside of Union
street pier.
The cause of the excitement was the
publication Of An article in morning
paper announcing that the Corwin would
sail for Honolulu on special mission for
the State Department at Washington.
Whether or not she shall sail for the Ha-
waiian Islands or for the north is a matter
for after discussion. AT any rate. up to
5 O'Clock yesterday afternoon not dis
patch nor letter was received by her Off
GERS giving any definite destination for
the vessel. An order was simply received
by Captain A. f. Munger giving him
instructions to have his vessel ready for
sea In f0rty-eight hours, Drovisioned and
coaled for a 2500-mile journey. Beyond this
not line passed between any of the
Government authorities of this city and
those of he capital. No positive informa-
ton could be gained concerning the pro-
posed voyage. because there was % source
from which it might emanate other than
the officers OF the vessel. Those gentle.
men gave no news because they had none
to give.
Circumstances, however, point to the
fact that The Corwin is being coaled and
provisioned for trip to the islands, but it
would be folly to make any positive asser-
tioh to this effect. Smuggling operations
in the north have become so extensive of
late that ii is just as possible that the Cor
win is going after Illegal opium trafickers
A special Hawaiian agent may be en-
route to this city to take passage on the
CorwiD. This would not be an entirely
unlooked-for occurrence. but until this is
definitely known the public will be kept in
suspense regarding the Corwln's destina-
tion. The vessel is all ready for sea.

WHY PEOPLE WORRY.

Its Cause Clearly Explained and the Best
Way of Avoiding 1t Revealed.
"The past summer and early fall have been Pc
RODS of worry, of care and exhausted vitality
caused by the strains incident to business"
The speaker was pro eminent man. Continuing
he said; This has naturally caused men to be-
come run down, nerveess and really unable to
properly attend to business. But this is not all
MANS worries become a woman's W orries because
of her superior intutive powers and sympathy
with everything that concerns her husband, her
brothers or her lover. ALI these things CAUSE
great exhaustion. and it is not surprising that
physicians report a state or weakness which has
not been known before for years.
'It is true that financial troubles are largely
over but the system needs building up TO the con.
dition and tone of six months ago. 1t is evident
that this can only be done by the careful and ava
tematic use of some pure, heaIth-impartine. lifa
giving stimulant. and this be found ONLY I,
that grand preparation which has stood the test or
a score OF years, Duffy's ture Malt Whisky"
The above words are true. and they sbonJd n.

production of raw materials should not re-
ceive from Government the same consid-
Grafton as labor employed in the CONVEX
sion of raw material into finished goods.
There are possibly kinds of raw material
which need no protection. If there are,
the imposition of duty will not materi-
ally affect them. But the producers of
raw material who need protection should
have it. The whole country, without re-
gard to sections, will ultimately unite in
support of measure of protection which
applies according to their needs TO all
kinds of labor. For class Of employers
who are demanding protection for their
own industries and the free admission of
material in which other labor is engaged
there will be little sympathy. But advo-
Gates of protection should rally in defense
of labor in whatever line of industry it
may be attacked. Well-paid labor Is the
cornerstone of American prosperity.

THE MESSAGE.

In respect to length the Presidents
message justifes expectations. 1t covers
great deal of ground, but on points upon
which information is looked for little light
is thrown. In respect to the tariff, as was
expected, the result of the elections of 1893
was disregarded. Congress is admonished
tn abide by the instructions received in
1892. The President makes a labored de-
tense OF the feature in the new bill
which puts raw materials on the free list.
Apparently be thinks that the higher cost
of raw materials in consequence of the
duty is all that prevents our manufacturers
from conquering foreign markets. He
urges the friends OF tariff reform to be un.
selfish, an exhortation which applies with
especial force to the producers OF raw
material The argument in favor of this
new bill is the threadbare one. with some
Of its more plausible features omitted.
In respect to the Hawaiian problem the
message assumes as facts statements
which are credibly disputed. He says
Comm issioner Blount made thorough and
exhaustive examination of The incidents of
the revolution which displaced the Quaen.
lie says also that Mr.. Blount was dis
patched with instructions to make an in
partial investigation of all the con-
ditons bearing upon the change of
Government and it appears that he
accepted the report as in accord
with instructions. This Endorsement
Of the report must have been made with
full knowledge of the assertion by Min
ister Thurston that Mr.. Blount had not
such information from the men who
effected the revolution. The report
seemed to the President a sufficient war
rant to undo the wrong done by those
representing US and to restore as far as
possible the status existing at the time of
our forcible Intervention, meaning, of
course. the landing of troops under the
late administration. The only inkIing as
to the future policy to be adopted is found
IN the statement that our present Minister
has received instructions to undo the great
wrong.
The repeal of the silver purchasing
clause of the Sherman act is expected to
work we'll. The President has full con-
hdence in ultimate results and suggests
patience. The only intimation of his
views in respect to bimetallsm is recon-
mendation that the President be author
lied to invite other nations TO non atary
conference when there should be fair
prospect of an international agreement on
the subject of coinage. Not less than
nine-teni hs of the message is a summary
of department reports and restatement of
known facts. For example the people are
informed that we cairy on an i'm portant
commerce with Brazil.

ROWING AS AN EXERCISE.

The discussion on the dangers of football
when roughly played ought to suggest
rowing to Caiifornians as an outlet for
athletic energies. Football is exciting per.
haps beyond any other sport, but as ply
steal exercise calculated TO build up the
body soundiy. 1t cannot be compared with
boating, which develops every muscle
without overstraining and affords healthy
degree of cumulative Zest without undue
tension. The Oarsman cannot 60 far wrong
physically, and the proof that the mental
powers are assisted, or are certainly not
repressed, is found in the long lists of emf
nent scholars, statesmen, lawyers, doctors.
soldiers and seamen who have rowed for
their university, after years Of training,
and have emerged with distinction from
the examinations. Their physical training
has not interfered with mental growth.
No sheet of water in the world affords
better opportunities for rowing than San
Francisco Bay, at least on its eastern side
and in the southern part. Portions Of San
Pablo Bay are also as calm as n mill pond
in the mornings. What current there is
cannot be considered hindrance to
aQuatics. A bit of tideway, when not too
rough for an eight -oared gig, as 1t seldom
is, makes the pulling all the more vigor-
Gus, and the speed is magnificent when
spinning along with the current. Com
paratively little use is made of the bay for
pastime at the oar. The taste runs toward
sailing craft, which can no mnre be consid-
cred exercise than buggy-riding. We have
athletic clubs devoted to every conceivable
pastime which can stimulate the physical
powers, but the one of rowing is In little
vogue. and the reason is not apparent,
unless IL be that the bay is too large and
affords too much opportunity. The Berke-
ley and Palo Alto universities have boat
ing clubs. but the early spin in the morn ne
is not as much in favor as exercise on the
playground. Perhaps boating needs the
an engagement Of few regattas every
year. There might be two or more for the
universities alone and half dozen held by
the different athletic clubs. These should
be quite distinct from yachting races.
Neglect CT boating Is all the more remark
able from the fact that the bay is as suit
able for it in winter as in summer

MORE SMUGGLED OPIUM.
Two Seizures Made at the Office of
WellS.Fargo'S Express.


The Custom-honse inspectors. working
under instructions. have been keeping a
close watch during the past month on all
shipments coming by Wells-Fargo's ex-
press from the north and especially those
consigned from Portland to Chinese firms
in this city. The Investigation has re-
suited In several small seizures, and yes
terday two more captures were made, one
of box containing thirteen fve.tael tins
of Victoria opium consigned to Fong Hong
Wing Fung, at S45 Sa ramento street, and
another box containing twenty hve-tael
tins of the same brand of drug shipped to
Lee Chin. 691a Spofford alley. All the tins
bore ''sweated" stamps. that Is, genuine
revenue stamps that had been steamed off
boxes of imported opium. The Victoria
opium had evidently been smuggled into
this country and then stamped and
shipped. Deputy Surveyor of the Port
Sam Ruddel says that there is doubt
but that hundreds of tins OF the Victoria
drug have been shipped TO this city via
Wells-Fargo's express, tut predicts that in
future The amount that reaches the con-
signOrs will be very small.

Our Society Blue Book.

Our Society Blue Book for season of 1893-94
has just been published by Charles c. haag,
179 Crocker building.
Upon inspection tie eye Is struck with the
elegant appearance Of the volume, bound in the
latest fad OF one halt blue and white.
Another look reveals uniformity, good and
clear looking typographical work. and the In.
formation conveyed On pae-blue leaves is set
forth in a generally attractive manner. The
scope covered Is as large as usual, with several
improvements. Besides containing the direc-
tory for The principal cities OF the coast, the

JUST A LITTLE SHAKE.

The telegraph informed the people of
this coast that little earth shake had
been experienced in Northern New York,
Vermont and New Hampshire and in
Canada. 1t appears from newspaper re-
ports that the shake was sufficient to
cause lamps to tip on tables and dishes to
dance on shelves. No great damage was
done, but II the shake had continued with
equal force ten seconds longer it would
have done as much damage as second
class shake on this coast. 1t is now
twenty-five years since we have had a
shake that could be allowed first rank
That Of 1868 stands alone and unap-
preached. and We trust unapproachable
The Eastern shake appears to have been
about as severe as anv that have occurred
since that date.

FLOODS NEW TRIAL.
The Superior Court Will Not Dis
miss the PEOPLES Appeal.


Attorney William Hoff Cook, represent
ing Carroll Cook, who was engaged in the
ONeil murder trial. argued before De-
partment 2 of the Supreme Court yester-
day afternoon a motion to dismiss the
appeal of the people from an order grant
ing a new trial to John w. Flood. the ex-
cashier recently convicted of embezzlng
funds belonging 10 the DonOhoe-kelly
Banking Company.
II will be remembered that Judge Sea-
we'll granted motion for new trial on
the ground that the court had erred both
in the conduct of the trial and in its in
structions 10 the jury. From this decision
the people appealed, aud this was a motion
TO dismiss the appeal on the ground that
the appellants brief had not been filed
within the time fixed by law. The Ques-
ton was argued at some length by Mr..
Cook. but Acknowledgement Hart and
Attorney Zeiger, who represented the
people, were not called upon to reply, the
court deciding at once that the motion must
be denied. 1t was held that the provision
above alluded to applied only to cases
where an appeal was taken by a defendant
and not to such case as the one before
the court.

RECIPROCITY.

The New York Tribune directs the at
tention Of Congress to the value to other
countries of free market for sugar, wool.
lumber. coal and iron ore. Treaties of
reciprocity might be arranged with Argen-
tina and Australia providing for some
reciprocal legislation in consideration of a
Tree market for wool. while Canada would
make concessions in return for free mar
ket for coal, iron ore and lumber. But
reciprocity treaties of this kind are re-
garded by statesmen of lofty turn of
mind as kind of dicker which is beneath
diplomatic consideration. In grand sort
OF way they open our markets to the

MRS. r. c. JOHNSON DEAD.
The Summons Came Suddenly at
Her Country Residence.

About ten days ago Mrs. Robert C.
Johnson. widow of the well-known million
aire who died four years ago, went to her
country residence at Buena Vista Park,
near Sonoma. in usual good health, with
the intention OF spending the winter there.
Early last week she took cold, which rap
idly developed into pneumonia. The best
medical treatment vas unavailing and the
patient gradually grew worse until early
Sunday morning, when death ensued. The
body will be inferred in Oakland
Mrs. Johnson's estate is valued at
$4,000 000 much of it valuable real estate
in this city and at Sonoma. AS she was
noted for charity deeds the inference is
that the bulk Of her property has been be-
queathed to Institutions whose object is
the uplifting OF humanity. Her will will
be admitted to probate at an early day.
The deceased left three sisters, Mrs. K.
Kellogg and Mrs. Elizabeth Henry of this
city and Mrs. Sarah j. Dillaye of Syracuse,
n. 7. These relatives. it is thought, will
be handsomely remembered
