The morning call., 1893-09-16

This announcement in yesterdays issue
recalled an exciting incident in the early
days of San Francisco.
On May l. 1885, the Pacific Mail steam
ship john l.. Stevens arrived in this pert
from Panama, bringing tidings that Gre
ated profound sensation in the young
city. Following is the substance of the
memorandum submitted by the captain,
K. II. Pearson. and copied in the local
papers of that date:
The Stevens brings New York dates to the
9TH OF April. sixteen days later than previously
received. and from Europe fourteen davs later
than previously ieceived.
The Pacific Mail 81 amship John L. Stevens
left San Francisco March 20 with passengers
mail and treasure. The steamer Illinois from
New York arrived at ASpinWall on AuriI 10
early In the morning, aud her passengers and
mails were prepared To embark as early as
possible for San Francisco, but owing to the
low tide Il short detention was unavoidable,
During this a quarrel arose between the Steer
age passengers and natives, which very shortly
became very serious riot, the natives wound
ing. killing and robbing passengers As near
as can be asce taiued between 40 and so pas
seneers are missing. ftteen of whom are known
To have been killed. several others badly
wounded and others stayed behind to take care
of friend~. TIL fifteen wounded passengers on
board are all doing well. Wayblls aud other
papers destroyed during the melee.
Then followed other details of damage
done to property, with the following sig
nitlcant wind-up:
1t will be well for passengers coming this
way To bring a Colts passport as the natives
are strongly prejudced against the Americans,
and as they had the best of The fight last night
they VIII be very saucy until they are whipped.
A large number of claims were i'm mmedi-
ately put In ny the American sufferers by
this riot, and it is stated that the United
States OF Colombia has at last paid over a
large amount on account of these claims to
the United States Government. One claim
TO the amount or $4,000, for loss of prop
erty. has. it is said, already been allowed
N Washington. while an amount of
S128,0O0 has been passed upon. Other
claims, running between $3.50 and $4,000
viii have to be presented to the Court of
Claims.
1t is asserted that the riot, which has
produced such far-reacAing results, origi-
mated from dispute about watermelons
which the passengers of the Illinois pro-
cured and refused to pay for at the rates
demanded

BUDDHIST AT CHICAGO.

Quite sensation was created last Sum-
day in Chicago by a sermon delivered in
Unity Church by MIR. Dharmapala, a
Buddhist preacher. Buddha antedated
Christ nearly six hundred years, about the
same period as intervened between Christ
and Mohammed. He was a Raiput, and
his home was near the holy city OF
Benares. At the time of his preaching the
human mind was stirred by general up-
rising. Solomon was building his temple
Nebuchadnezzar at Babylon was at the
height of his glory; the seven sages OF
Greece were tlourshing; the monuments
OF Egypt were attracting the rapacity OF
Asiatic cOnquerors. In India period OF
profound Encouragement with the doc
trines of the Vedas had begun. Inressant
war reigned, and in the presence of arms
the pure dOgmas of the ancient faith made
way for system OF superstition, in which
death was regarded not as the entrance to
new life, but as a release from presenr
misery. Buddha spent his early manhood
in practices of ascetic devotion, combining
the vigils and penances of the hermit with
the lonely pOnderings of the sage. AT
length. when the time had come, he went
forth with band of discipleS-who after
ward deserted hm-and began to preach
a new faith. His doctrines appear to have
commanded immediate assent. Unlike
Mohammed be did not try TO prOmulgate
them by the sword. He was not evil
treated by men, nor did he die a cruel
death. He laid down under fg tree, sur
rounded by his followers. and peacefully
passed away.
He was a true Oriental and taught
largely by parallels. His morality is spot
less. We have quite a NUM- Der of COM
mentaries on his teachings. some of which
were written when the memory Of them
must have been fresh in many minds.
They contain nothing which is reDellant
to the modern intellect. To capture ad-
herents Mohsmmed conceded polygamy
Buddha never departed from the straight
line of justice and charity, which were the
fundamental doctrines of his creed. Since
his death his pure system has been over
grown by fable and these excrescences are
the first features OF Buddhism which the
foreign student encounters. 1t is the mis-
fortune of most systems of theology to
suffer embroidery at the hands of ignorant
and imaginative votaries.
In the reports of the Congress of Re
ligiODs which was held in Paris in 1889 it
was stated that Buddhism was the most
widely difused religion in the world.
This statement implied that the four hun
dred millions of Chinese are Buddhists,
which is hardly the case. The Confucian
philosophy is based on Buddhism. but it
embraces doctrines which were not taught
by Buddha. So in japan. the professors
of the old Shinto faith are at swords
points with the true Buddhists. But still
the number of followers of Buddha in
China. Japan, India. Cashmir, Thibet,
Nepal, Ceylon. Burmah, Siam and Cochin
China may well be numbered by the hum
dreds Of millions.

GRAIN SACKS TO BE FREE.
This Will Relieve the Farmer From
an OnerouS Burden.

Pacific Coast farmers do not view with
much apprehension Congressman Can't
netti's proposition to place grain sacks on
the free list. Nor are the bag manufac-
turers themselves very much shaken up
by it.
The profits of the latter will not be very
much reduced. they say, when they are
compelled to deal solely in the imported
article, though they are not reluctant to
admit that their own interests would be
best conserved by the retention of the
present duty.
There are five or six jute sack manufac-
turers on this coast and about 10000 farm
ers. The present duty of SIC thousand
tells heavily against the farmers of the
Pacific Coast and is one of the obstacles
in his path that keeps him from comDet-
ing with the grain-growerS of the Eastern
States. In Ahe East the farmers have no
need for sacking the grain, as it is ham
died in elevators aud CARROTS, and they are
thus enabled to escape this considerable
tax. On the Pacific Coast the nature of
things cOmpels the farmer 10 bag his
grain.
Last year 3S, 100000 sacks were used by
the farmers of this coast, which amoun ted
TO a tax of between S5OO.0O0 and $500. 600
on the farmers of this section.
This year not less than 81, ZOO, 900 grain
sacks will be used here, and if the tax be
not removed the farmers Will again be
subjected 10 this enormous tax, which
places them at such big disadvantage
with their Eastern competitors.
There are about 1900 or 1900 men, women
and children employed in the jute-sack
manufactures of the coast, and these will
necessarily be thrown out of employment
oy the repeal of the grain-Sack duty. Still
the benefit to the farmer 80 far Outweighs
the interests OF these few employees
large percentage of whom are children
that those who understand the situation
Will welcome the free entry of grain sacks

Another seizure of opium has been made
by a lynx-eyed Customs Inspector, who is
highly eulogized for his phenomenal vig-
lance. a quantity of opium worth $1,000
was dragged to light from a very curious
hiding place, eXcavated in a beam. the
cavity being fitted with d dummy block.
The credit of originality in these seizures
Is sometimes marred by tips received in
private, which would enable an officer to
lay his hand on contrab band in the dark.
Jt may not be the case in this instance, but
the Inspector has been remarkably lucky
In nosing out the smugglers.
