SAN Francisco, Jan. 26.-The waves
tossed the steamer Piedmont about as if
it were a small craft on the $50 P. NJ. trip
from San Francisco to Oakland this after
noon. Just in midday, a little on the
Oakland side of Goat Island, the vessel
was caught between two currents. and
the big crested pillows broke over the
lower deck, mounting far up toward the
cabin railing.
As the vessel careened the passengers,
who had all taken refuge in the cabin,
turned pale from fear and rushed for the
gasped and fell back Others for the
time being were too crazy about their
own safety to pay attention to him.
When the vessel righted again, and
after they had been reassured by one Of
the officers, some of the passengers
turned to the man who had fallen and
began to chafe his hands, believing him
TO be in faint. Before the boat reached
the pier it dawned upon them that he
was dead. The body was placed in the
train and taken to the Oakland morgue.

RIOT IN A TuEArER.
Fifteen or Twenty shots Fired, But No
One Hit.

LAFAYETTE Ind.), Jan. 26.-Professor
George P. Rudolph, formerly a Catholic
priest at Cleveland, o., attempted to lect-
ure at the Opera-house this evening un-
der the auspices of the American Protect
i've Association. The speakers subject
was, "Why l Left the Romish Church."
Soon after opening his discourse a mob
broke in the rear door of the house and
rushed on the stage and attacked the
speaker. Rudolph was knocked down,
and on rising he drew revolver and
fired two shots. This brought regular
fus.llade from all parts of the house,
which was crowded. A stampede at once
ensued, and while screams rent the air a
rush was made for the doors. Many Ia
dies were bruised and thrown down in
their efforts to escape. The crowd was
finally elected from the house. and Ru-
dOlph continued his lecture. The Sheriff
appointed number of deputies, but they
were unable to keep the crowd in the gal
lery quiet, and the meeting was ad-
journed. Between fifteen and twenty
shots were fired, but no one hit. The
mob awaited outside, but, under a strong
guard, Rudolph was placed in closed
carriage and escorted to his boarding
house.

The most important feature of the in

as to the character Of the contracts al

pose Of diverting traffic from the steam
ship and Panama route to the transcon-

be referred to the Judiciary Committee
to consider, together with the general

SEATTLE (Wash.), Jan. 26.-This city
was startled to-day by the arrest Of Mrs
Minnie Yesler, Dr. J. Eugene Jordan
and DR.. II. Martin Van Buren, on a
charge of stealing and concealing the will
of the late Henry J.. Yesler. million
aire pioneer and husband of the first
named prisoner. The statement as
made a week ago was that the late Henry
l.. Yesler left a will received confirma-
ton in the arrest of the above-uamed
parties on charge OF having made way
with it. At the same time facts in con-
nection with Mr.. Yesler's last days are
brought to light that throw strong light
on the circumstances leading up to the
alleged crime.
The provisions Of the missing will were
learned definitely to-day. 1t was read
by Yesler to a friend whom he had Sc
lected for a witness, about three months
before his death, and if the other witness
knows its contents, its provisions can be
carried out, even if it has been destroyed.
This viii leaves Mrs. Yesler several
pieces Of property, $4,000 in casn and an
annuity OF $1,000 Tor life. To J. D. Low
man it leaves the Yesler building, on
Pioneer Place, now nearly completed
with its site. All the remainder of the
estate, after the debts are paid, is left to
the city Of Seattle, with the provision
that the old Yesler residence is to be used
as a public library. The city will thus
acquire a magnificent estate Of nearly
81 ZOO, 600.

stated in reply that, desirous as he was to

would end in the loss of all the capital

lean Minister Of Marine in the person Of
Colonel Thompson. and was informed
that he received so tempting an offer it
was impossible to decline it. The re-
porter was malicious enough to add that
the American Minister of Marine had
little idea of his own value as a stool
pigeon to entrap French peasants and

Captain J. +. Lennon, a passenger on the

Bay this morning. He said the steamer
Overrun her distance and got too far
north Of Cape Flattery when she tried to
make the straits. About II o'clock Sat
urday night she slowed down, and a few
minutes later breakers were reported
dead ahead. Before the engines could be
reversed the vessel struck the rocks three
times, the hold filling with water. The
keel was smashed into splinters by the
heavy seas. Heavy westerly swells con
stantly menaced the lives of the crew. At
8 o'clock Sunday morning the crew and
provisions were landed. On account OF
the'heavy seas no cargo was saved. Mon
day, Captain Graves crossed the straits at
Neah Bay and wired for assistance Tugs
went across, but could render no aid. The
vessel and cargo are a total loss. Part of
the crew arrived here this morning and
the remainder are expected tomorrow
night.
THE CAPTAINS STATEMENT.
PoRT TOWNSEND, Jan. 2G.-Captain
Graves OF the wrecked steamer Michigan
has forwarded an official statement of the
disaster to this city. He says the Michi-
gan struck the rocks in heavy surf Sat
urday night. A dense fog prevailed that
day and he lost his bearings. AS soon as
the roar Of the breakers was heard he
slowed down, but in another instant she
was upon the rocks. The seas extin-
guished the fires in the furnaces and it
became bitter cold. The ship pounded
on the rocks all night, and early Sunday
morning Seaman Simmons leaped over
board and swan ashore with a line. on
which basket was rugged, and the pas
sengers and crew landed. None Of the
cargo could be landed and very few pro
visions were taken ashore A heavy
rainstorm prevailed and Monday morn
ing First Officer Marshall took the star
board boat and proceeded to Neah Bay
for assistance. Captain Graves is of the
opinion that the vessel and cargo were
not insured.
