UNITED STATES NAVAL NOTES.
Admiral Walkers Transfer Prec-
tically Settled.

A number of important naval
assignments will be made in the
near future. Captain Phythian's
term as Superintendent of the
Naval Academy is nearing an end.
1t is practically settled that he will
be succeeded by Admiral Walker,
now commanding the Pacific Sta
ton, as soon as he can be spared
from his mysterious diplomatic
function at Honolulu, probably
early in August. Commodore Fytte,
Commandment of the Boston Navy
Yard, will retire next month on
account of age. Commodore j. n.
Miller, recently in command of the
receiving ship Vermont, at New
York, Will probably succeed him.
The cruiser Charleston, which
has Just returned to the Pacific
station from her visit to Hampton
Roads and New York, where she
took part in the Columbian naval
review, will be put in dry dock at
Callao, Peru, aud given thorough
overhauling, including the scraping
and painting of her bottom. When
the state of affairs in Peru justifies
her departure, she will proceed to
Honolulu and relieve the Philadel-
phia of further duty in those
waters. The Philadelphia has been
at anchor in the harbor of Honolu-
In for eight months, without a
cruise, aud her bottom is very foul
from an accumulation of marine
vegetation, which is of extremely
rapid growth in that section Of
the world. When relieved, the
Philadelphia will proceed to San
Francisco and be put in thorough
repair for further service. Chief
Engineer G.. J. Burnsp, now on
duty at San Francisco, has been
ordered to Callao for duty on the
Charleston, relieving Chief Engi-

The old United States steam
frigate Lancaster. built in 1853,
when she was the pride of the navy,
sailed proudly into port yesterday,
saws the New York Sun of June 9,
after an absence of three years,
which she spent on duty in the
Chinese station. She trailed be-
hind her 500 feet of red, white and
blue ribbon, at the end of which
there was a blown-up bladder bear
ing the painted motto, "New York
or Bustl" She stopped at Quar-
anune long enough to be inspected ,
and then swung around off Clifton,
where she anchored at 2 O'clock in
the afternoon. From that hour
until dark neither officers nor men
had moments peace. Half the
population Of Staten Island, appar-
entity, wanted TO see the old boat
and talk with the men. One rea-
son for this interest was that the
Lancaster had been nearly five
months coming from Yokohama,
the headquarters Of the Chinese
squadron, and thirty-seven days
coming from Gibra!ter. The Lam
caster brought with her to this port
the body Of Lieutenant Commander
Joseph Nutrition, who was attached
to the Palos. He died two years
ago at Maukin. Before she sailed
the hat was passed, and the crew
Clipped in to buy the homeward
pennant. It. is made of Chinese
silk. 1t was sewed together on
shipboard, and was hoisted the day
before the frigate sailed.

LOST THOUSANDS.
The Brewery Workmen's
Funds Disappear.
Ex-Secretary Frank BGeher Arrested
at San Jose and Charged With
Felony ENLIGHTENMENT.

The Brewery WoFkmen's Union, one Of
the most powerful labor organizations on
the coast. has been added to the number of
wOrkingmen's unions that have suffered
by reposing too much confidence in their
officers.
Frank Bucher, ex-secretary of the union.
was arrested in San Jose Friday after-
noon OH charge of felony embezzlement
made against him by c. ZahD, his sue
cessor in office. The warrant was issued
by Judge Low and Butcher was brought to
this city yesterday by Detective Cody and
locked up in the old City Prison.
Three years ago the members of the
union were threatened with a general re-
duction of wages, an increase in the hours
of labor and the disruption OF their organ
iZation. Before the reduction was made
each member of the union was assessed
$40. and with the money thus obtained the
Cooperative Brewery on Pacific street was
started. Each branch of the union was
given certain number of shares and 800
were allotted TO tie union at large. These
500 shares, valued at $1,000. and promissory
notes amounting tn $4,000 were handed
over to the trustees of the union, who iG
turn gave them to Bucher to place in box
in the Safe Deposit vault. which he was
TO rent for them Butcher wrote TO the
as they mad directed, and all went we'll
until new board of trustees and new
secretary were elected. Last January
Butcher left the CITY and obtained employ
ment in the Eagle Brewery at San Jose.
The new trustees found that the box at
the vault had not beeh taken in the name
of their predecessors, whose instructions
had been disregarded, but in the name of
Bucher himself, and the keeper of the
vault refused to surrender the box or per-
NIT them to examine its contents.
Bucher was asked to surrender the key
and promised to do so, but failed to keep
his word.
Two weeks ago the secretary of the union
wrote to him that if the securities were
not returned by the goth he would be ar
rested. Bucher paIdno attention to the
threat and the case was turned over to the
police.
Butcher refuses to say anything about
the securities and says that he does not
know who has the key to the box.
