Emma Dray Takes That Morbid View
of This ife

The steamer Piedmont came near adding
another victim yesterday to the long list Of
suicides from her decks. The fatality was
only averted by the vigilance and prompti-
tude Of Chief Officer Wilson.
The would-be suicide in this case was

near Sixth. She has been for some time
past employed at Spaulding's dye works,
and her parents supposed that she had gone
to work when she left home yesterday
morning.
Instead of this she boarded the Oakland
ferry-boat Piedmont. She had not been
long aboard before Chief Officer Wilson
noticed that she was gesticuIating and talk
Ing to herself in fashion which his eXper-
fence had accustomed him to associate with
attempts at suicide.
He caused her to be closely watched. and
when she knelt on the deck, prayed In
loud voice, and then rising made rush to the
rail. hand was promptly laid on her and
the suicide prevented.
Miss Dray was detained on the steamer
when 1t reached Oakland wharf and brought
back 10 this side. She was then placed in
charge of Officer Harrigan and given into
the care of Marion Gilmore at the old City
Hall.
Miss Dray has lately manifested an i'll
tense interest in religious meetings and has

They say that. although they have to pay
rs cents ton duty on foreign coal, a great
deal of their supply is home product, and
as for the rest the difference in price be-
tween here and the East Is not so great as
to cause any material effect.
AS matter of fact, if the petition asked
for free coal only hardly any opposition
would be anticipated, but with the pig iron
it is quite different matter.
Much of the pig iron used here comes in
English vessels that come here 10 load

DIR. Masters Says That the Chinese
Discovered America.

Discovered America.
Rev. Frederick j. Masters. u. D., sUperIn-
tendent OF the Chinese Missions of the Pa
eifc Coast, read paper before the Geo.
graphical Society Monday night at Union
square Hall on the subject, Did Chinaman
Discover American"
The speaker prefaced his remarks with a
reference to the peculiar pertinence of the
subject now that the world was looking
forward to the approaching cele brations Of
the discovery Of America By a navigator
from the east
He illustrated his lecture with a mar,
roughly showing the geographical position
Of this country with respect 10 China and
japan. and indicated the practicsbllity OF
any scheme of discovery from that quarter.
He pointed out simiiaTites that existed
between our native races and those OF
China, both as TO social, econ Omic and reli-
gious customs.
The discovery OF ancient Chinese relics on
this continent argued an uninterrupted COM
lnunicati0n from most remote time. Such
relics are the coins that were recently un-
earthed in British Columbia and that show
period OF coinage antedating our era.
Such, too, are the wrecks Of antique lunks
that have been discovered from time 10
time buried In the sand Of the Pacific
Coast.
DR.. Masters spoke at length OF tie records
Of discovery and exploration made by
Chinese nayigators on this continent. Such
records were contained in the great chron-
icles of China, and their authenticity had
never been questioned.
These early explorers had brought back
graphic descriptions Of habits aud customs
of the time OF Montezuma, and these re-
ports have been found faithful to the condi-
tion OF Mexico at that time, as we know il
must have been in the light of to-day.

COAL AND IRON.
Our Manufacturers Want
No Duty on Them.
But 1t Is Expected That Eastern Conn
petitOrs VIII Successfully Inter-
fere With the Plan.

The manufacturers of this city especially
those in the iron and steel trade, have CON-
bined and have sent memorial to Congress
asking that pig iron and coal shall be in
cluded among the articles which, under a
revised tariff, will be made duty free.
The memoralists also ask that iron ore,
coke, scrap iron and scrap steel be ill.,
cluded in the free list.
One hundred and twenty signatures are
attached to this document, which is now on
its way to Washington, and among the
firms who signed it are nearly all the manu-
facturers Of any consequence in San Fran
cisco.
The memorial reads as follows:
To the Senators and Representatives. in Con-
tories: We the undersigned. members of all
political parties, engaged on this coast In Iron
ana steel manufacture, respectfully submit the
First-That these industries are now In a de-
plorable condition
Second-That owing 10 the quality OF coast
Goals, we are obliged 10 import the fuel used IN
melting and blast furnaces, which imposes on
us special TAX OF 10 cents per ton. and
does not benefit even the native coal producers.
Ihfd-Ihat owing 10 the insufficient local
supply we are forced TO import 80 per cent OF the
Iron ana steel scrap used in our business, which.
on account Of the cost OF transportation, could
not be had from any native source.
And finally, believing that were the duties re-
moved on the materials named hereafter a
marked Impulse would be given 10 manufaclur-
Ing industries on this coast without detrlment to
any other established interest or section OF the
country. we request that In the revision OF our
taiiff, which now seems imminent, you urge the
insertion OF the following provisions:
That Iron ore, coal, coke, pig iron, scrap iron
and scrap steel shall be placed on the free list
Interviews with some of the largest toun-
drymen yesterday developed the fact that,
although few seemed to be sanguine IN
their expectation of seeing In the near fu-
ture some good results from this petition,
the majority have but little hope that Con-
gress will grant free importation OF the ar
tices mentioned In the paper.
The principal reason why this Is the case
lies in the fact that such measure as Is
asked for would benefit the Pacific Coast
only, and would result, If passed, to the dis
advantage OF Eastern manufacturers In a
measure.
1t would put California manufacturers on
an equal basis with their Eastern compel
itors, and the latter would no longer enjoy
the advantages they now nave over the for
mer.

STOCKTON GAS WELLS.
A Lecture by w. L. Watts of the
State Mining Bureau.

An interesting lecture on the subject OF
natural gas in the San JOAQUIN Valley was
delivered Monday night to the members of
the Academy Of Sciences by w. i. Watts Of
the State Mining Bureau. Mr.. Watts spoke
Of the way natural gas was discovered 10
the valley, and of its commercial benefit 10
the State. He also said that series Of ex-
periments were made by the State Mining
Bureau to determine the fuel value OF the
Stockton gas. Repeated experiments with
gas from seven different wells showed that
1000 cubic feet Of gas had an average fuel
value equal to that Of fifty pounds of coke
carrying 10 per cent of ash.
Mr.. Watts also said that a review of the
different wells which have been bored at
Stockton shows that the deepest produce
tie most gas. 0ne we'll that is nearly 5000
feet deep produces so. COO cubic feet of gas
daily. Mr.. Watts thought it would be very
advisable that deep experimental we'll be
bored to ascertain the gas-yieding forma-
tions, ard whether the water can be ex-
cluded by tightly casing the upper portion
of the well.
A discussion by the members as to what
should be done to get an appropriation
from the State to have the Yosemite Reser-
walton stocked with game, etc, resulted in
the appointment of a committee Of three TO
bring the matter before the Legislature.

She was a well-dreSsed. pretty girl and

the lovely hair and the fashionable veil

But the girl neither knew nor cared. She
had purple veil. She WAS in the fashion
