The City Of PckinE.

San Francisco. Feb. THE Pacific Mail
steamer City Of Picking which sailed from
Yokohama Jan. 10 last, and which has been
long overdue, is safe at her dock, having
reached there in tow early this afternoon.
The tug Nigilant and several others went
out in search of the Pcking two days ago.
Early this morning the tug met the British
ship Sierra Cadena a few miles from port
the captain Of which stated that he had
spoken to the long looked for vessel yester-
day. This put the Vigilant on the scent and
she found the Picking coming along slowly
under sail and took her in tow. About
o'clock this afternoon the Vigilant and her
valuable tow passed in and IN hour later
she was at her dock. Capt. r. Il. Searle at
sent the following report to the Merchants
exchange:
I'VE sailed from Yokohama Jan. 10 at II
a. m. We had westerly winds for ten days.
At $50 H.. on the DIST, in latitude 40 deg
longitude 1l6 deg, 1G minutes and 12O miles
from San Francisco the propeller broke, and
we proceeded under sail. From that time
until arrival we experienced east and
northeast winds. increasing at times to the
force Of a gale. and at no time did we have
forty -eight hours OF westerly winds. The
ship made 1,340 miles under SAIL The
passengers all speak in the highest terms OF
the officers and management of the ship.

Yhc. Conference.

Washington, Feb. 7.-Preliminary to
the conference tomorrow between the
secretary Of state and the Hawaiian
annexation commissioners, conferences
were held to-day at tue White House
between the president, Secretaries John
w. Foster AMI Tracy, and Attorney
General Miller Mr. Foster had talk
with the president on the subject in the
morning, and in the afternoon they We're
again together. with Secretary Tracy and
Mr. Miller also present. What was ac-
compished at these conferences cannot
be ascertained, but their frequency and
the length Of time they lasted are
grounds for the belief that The govern
ment will have some definite information
to impart to the commissioners at to-
morrow's session bealiiis on the policy
of the United States regarding the an
neNation question. The secretary Of
state said to-day that no arrangements
had been made for the reception of the
Hawaiians by the president.

= New York. Feb THE Washington
correspondent of the Herald has made
a careful poll of the senate and house
upon the questions: ''Shall Hawaii be
IL nexed?' ''Shall the United States es-
tablish protectortte over; those isl
aIds?" -. 80 - %aE
The poll Of the senate is unusually
large, eighty-three out of lightweight
members of that body having been seen.
Five senators are out of the city. OF
the other eighty-three. three are against
annexation and do not look with any
favor upon a protectorate. Twenty are
decidedly in favor of annexation and
very generally agree that protectorate
does not go far enough. Thirty-fve
prefer Il Drotectorate and twenty-five re-
fused to place themselves on record at
this time because they had not vet had
an opportunity to study the question. In
nearly every instance in which senators
objected to expressing themselves, they
expressed the belief that something
should be done to prevent any other coun-
try from getting control of the Hawaiian
islands.
The poll of the house was taken on
the question Of annexation, as this is the
only question on which that body would
BE- called upon to pass Judgment. Eighty
three representatives favor, forty-six are
against it and seyenty-seven are non
commital. Nearly all of the forty-siH
representatives who refused to place
themselves on record agree that some &C

Stamp Collectors Their Victims.

Stamp Collectors Their Victims.
'"The new Columbian stamps, while
they seem large when compared with
our ordinary stamps" remarked a
well-known stamp collector Of the city,
care not nearly so large as some OF
those once used by some OF the South
American governments. 1t is a. fact,
not generally known, that for years
many states paid nothing whatever
for their stamps, but were supplied
free by the engravers, who looked to
the collectors for their profits. The
arrangement made was that the model
should be changed every three months,
and that at the end OF this period all
unused stamps should be returned to
the sellers. In this way great many
different issues were gotten out, all OF
which soon became rare and COM
manded high prices. The number OF
people VINO collect stamps is much
larger than is generally supposed, as
is proved by the fact that the dealers
made handsome profit out of the
transaction. st. Louis Post Dis

Brisbane, Feb. THE water is rising
steadily in this city. The lower districts are
completely submerged. In the lower por-
tons the main street it is twenty feet
deep. The shops and their contents are a
total loss, as the flood came on so rapidly
that only a small part of the stocks could
be removed. The Brisbane river bridge,
which connected North and South Brisbane,
was swept away last night. All the inhab-
itants are crowding to the higher parts Of
the city. In consequence Of the interruption
OF railway and telegraphc communication
only scanty information about the disast ers
in other parts of Queensland is obtainable.
At marlborough. in March county, thirty
persons have been drowned. Most of the
town is under water. TiarO, another town
on the Mary, is under water.
At O'Clock this morning the water around
Brisbane began falling. The list OF dead
grows hourly. Many bodies are being found
in houses which were supposed to have been
deserted.

He was very tired-looking man.
Detection was written on every line in
his face, and as was stranger in
the village with nothing to do and no
one to talk to, relieved my pent-up
spirits by expressing my sympathy
with him in his troubles, whatever
they were. ~,
''Thanks,' he said; my chief trou.

from idiorville, and that is incurable.
I just got into a Dragging match with
a stranger in the post-office. He bet
he was richer than was, and l took
him on-just for fun. l told him all
had and more, too, and after while
he gave in, saying he wouldn't have

THE NEW ASSOCIATE JUSTICE.
Speaks of His own Appointment.


Cincinnati, Feb. fudge Howell q. Jack
son, recently nominated by President Har-
lison for the office OF associate. justice of
the supreme court Of the United States, is
here to-day inconnection with his duties us
circuit judge. He, was warmly congratu-
lated by members Of the bar, with whom he
has always been fayorite. In speaking Of
his recent appointement, he said: %-y~ -
q Il have had no communication with the
president relative to my appointment either
before rssince | was Informed of it. A few
days before the appointment was made
L had Il letter from one of the present JUS
tees, saying h" hoped the president might
see his way clear to appoint me to the va
clnt post. About the same time 1 had II
letter from prominent lawyer Of Detroit
expressing the same hope. l was not con:
suited and as far [ know the president
matter. I have no idea who will be my Sue
cessor, but would like to say a word about
an item l saw in 6; morning paper. 1t said
L was appointed that President Harrison
Miller. to the place I vacated Now, as
matter of fact such Il thing is impossible,
even had the president desired it. My sue
Gen. Miller is of the Seventh district, and is
not eligible"
do you think the president should have
let Cleveland make the appointments
Not ut all. 1t is no new thing for a re-
tirlng president TO make such appointments.
PRESIDENT John Adams appointed Chief
Justice Marshall only two days before the
inauguration of Thomas Jefferson, who OBJ
Jected to such action seriously, and Presi-
dent jackson appointed Justice Catron and
had him confirmed on the morning Of March
T. only few hours before he retired from
the presidency.
The appointment of a Democrat by a Re
publican president seems a good step to-
the realm Of politics. with which it should
have not the least connection
