THE MONEY IS PAID.
Baltimore Sailors Now Have Chilean
Gold.


Al Mare Island Na7y-yard Friday the
final payment of the indemnity awarded
the Baltimore sailors was made Four
sailors injured in the assault on the Amer
lean marines received their recOmpense, al
least as far as money could pay them, for
the indignities and injuries they received
at Valparaiso.
p. McWniams received $1,000. P. Houli-
han $780, Herman Fredricks $500 and
George Pouter 5000. Pouter and Houli-
han sailed away yesterday on the Alliance
for Central America, with light heads and
neavy pOeketbOoks.
It was not the fault of the Chilean Gov
ernment that the distribution of the money
has been so long delayed, as one of the
crew, Shields, the baker, prolonged the liz
igation by refusing to accept the award OF
$500 made to him. The Senators from
Massachusetts backed up his claim and
thus became parties who unintentionally
did the other ciaimantssan injustice.
The board OF arbitration which is to pass
upon the claims OF Patrick Shields and
Andrew McKinstry Will meet July %.
These men belonged to the ship Kewee-
nav and their claims are 100000 and S51,-
eco. respectively. Both of these men are
in Oakland or VII Unity, but with sailor
like carelessness they are Underground"
some place, and sll efforts of Attorney F.
\. Orr to locate them had up TO last night
proved fruitless. The lawyer thinks his
clients do not appreciate the importance o.
their early appearance on the scene.
NJ. Gauo. the Chilean arbitrator, and Mr..
Good, the American, have been unable to
agree on the third member Of the board
hut Secretary Gresham has assured Mr..
Orr that he will Immediately request the
President of the Swiss republic to name
the third man in order that the board may
meet at the time specified in the treaty. AS
will be embered, the Keweenaw trou-
bic occurred before the Baltimore outrage,
and its settIement requires separate
hearing.

THE NEW ARMY GUN.
A California Residents Invention
Before the Board,

The selection of a magazine rife for
adoption as the service arm for the ill.,
fantry OF the United States Army has
engaged the attention of board of army
officers for nearly two years past. On
August 10, 1892. the board, after testing
several inventions. American and foreign,
decided in favor of the rag-Jorgensen
gun, Swedish invention.
The report Of the board evoked a storm
of protests from all the rival competitors,
with the result that Congress made an
appropriation for another test, and the
Secretary OF War directed the board to
reasse mble for the purpose.
Among the weapons submitted for eX-
animation at the first competitive test was
the burst magazine rifle, the invention of
NJ. II. burst, son of DR.. d. p. burst of
WheatIaud, Cal, and brother OF ex-City
and County Attorney John II. burst Of
San Francisco.
NJ. ii. Dnrst was born in Colusa County
and is now 80 years of age. He is grad
uate of the College of Agriculture, Uni
yersity of California. MIR. burst studied
all the systems in vogue in the various
which he believed TO embody the best
principles involved in the construction of
a modern arm of precision.
MI burst submitted four of his guns
at the American trial, but his invention
shared the fate Of all the other American
weapons and was rejected. having broken
down under the extraordinary tests I'M
rosed. and also owing. as he claims, to GER
tain unjust Determinations practiced by
the members of the board in this series of
tests. His attorneys have addressed pc
tition to the Secretary of War asking that
the consideration of the arms of American
Invention be referred to some other board
than the one now in session.

monument to the unknown dead on Me-
mortal day. 1t is written by Mrs. Kate
Sherwood Of Toledo, Ohio. In regard to
the monument Mr.. Kinne stated that it
was on its way from the East, and was ex-
peeted shortly to arrive. when it Will be
placed In position at the cemetery
Camrade kinue stated that there was
some false impression existing in the
minds of many in regard 10 the real mean
ing Of Memorial day and its observance.
He desired to make brief statement in
order to rectify the error.
He said that Memorial day was originally
set apart for the decoration OF the graves
of Grand Army soldiers who served in the
Civil War from 1861 to 1865. Since the
tine of its origin the day has been selected
almost universally by friends and rela-
tives OF deceased persons for the same pur-
pose.
The speaker stated that the Grand Army
felt proud that they have brought such a
measure about and hoped that it may ever
be so.
The national cemetery. which is located
at the Preside, is not lie Grand Army
burying ground. rs is generally supposed,
but the place where dead soldiers of the
standing army are buried. The cere-
monies Of unwilling the monument on the

and Mission Street Improvement Club
was held last night at West Park near
Mission street.
The contemplated action of.the Board of

tee of the Board of Supervisors was held

anything but an agreeable one for B. Me-
Mahon & Sons. who have the contract for
the erection Of the Fourth and Channel
street bridge.
Garrett McInerney, an attorney, APP
peared before the committee and urged
that the request of the contractors for
thirty days extension Of time be granted.
The contractors, it was stated, had pre-
viously acted in very Independent man
nar when they did not need favor, and
Supervisor Goodwin said that the board
should now take them at their word.
Supervisor Ryan was inclined TO favor
the contractors, and moved that they DO
allowed twenty days further time in which
to complete the bridge.
The motion was defeated and motion
denying the petition of he contractors was
carried.
The time in which Mcmahon & Son
have to finish the bridge will be up on

Denmau opposed the proposition. saying
that although the project was good one
the present expense would fall on property
owners, while Fair would reap all the
benefits.
Goodwin asserted that Fair owned %
per cent of the property, and the motion
to form district was carried.

teen blocks in the Holly Park district at an

Captain r. PAUL returned from San
Diego on the steamer Santa Rosa yester-
day and resumed her duties by leading the
meeting at 1859 Market street. She re-
ceiyed very warm and hearty welcome
from the soldiers and her friends.
Staff Captain Cox will not return to this
city, for the reason that Canada, TO which
she was appointed, pressed her claims so
hard to have her come to it at once
that, n0twith standing the earnest appeals
OF herself and Major Keppe to permit her
TO sojourn and work on this coast for
awhile, General Booth declined to grant the
request.

AGAINST SPECIAL COUNSEL.
Text of an Order Proposed to the
Board OF Supervisors.

Board or Supervisors.
Alfred Clarke yesterday filed petition
with the Board of Supervisors asking that
the following order be passed:
That The Prosecuting Attorneys of the Police

the Police courts, 10 the end that ali the people
may nave justice fully and without denial,
speedily without delay, freely and without

the prosecution by reven2efnl prosecutors Is
disa2proyed, provided that the counsel Ofering
TO assist may apply to the board for leave so 10
do. which leave, by proper showing, may be
granted.
The order grew out OF Clarke's connec-
ton with the case of Joseph Cunningham
of 227 Douglass street, who claims 10 have

A COFFIN BET.
How a Monument Man Won 1t and
Gave II Away.

H
One of the oldest bets on record was re-
Gently cOnsummated.
IL was in 1867 that well-known marble
dealer bet p. Craig. an undertaken of this
city, that Haight would be elected Cover
nor over George G. Gorham. The under
taker took up the bet and the stakes were
S1C0 coffin against 500 monument.
Haight was elected and tho marble ma
got his order for the coffin.
Craig was the main who would have
benefited first by the bet, for he died,
while the man who had the order still lives.
The prospect OF holding an order for his
own burial receptacle was rather dismal
satisfaction, so the man OF monuments
turned it over to the old Volunteer Fire
organization, of which he is member.
Ii came in very appropriately recently,
for one Of the old volunteers died and be-.
ing very poor his comrades buried him in
thu coffin the marble dealer had won. The
son of tile undertaken promptly hUnored
the order and fine casket was delivered.
Thus the strange bet accrued ultimately
to most worthy cause.
