spare moments for the past two years have
been devoted to the construction of this

Seafaring men from this port some
times are little particular about the ves-
sci they ship on, on account of
the ''grub." The vessels that hail
from Massachusetts are the most
popular as the owners believe in
feeding the men with the best of every
thing and in return expect them to do
their duty. Maine ranks next, then comes
Connecticut, with New York, New Jersey
following, and Pennsylvania with the
reputation of being the meanest of all.
The brig Rocky Glen, Captain Colbeth,
will leave this port in few days for New

burlap attached to IL. The crews of the
steamers and tug boats are always on the
lookout for the body.

Parliamentary Battle Over Bland Sil
yer Seignoirage Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-The parliament
tary battle over the Bland silver seignoir-
age bill wSs resumed in the House this
morning.
Mr.. Reed sought to challenge the right
of the House to pass the resolutions to
arrest absentees which were carried last
night on the ground that the last
call showed no quorum. The
question Is as to whether q quorom is
preaent when call is disputed, as it did
not appear In the Sournal and Representa-
tive Reed moved to amend the
journal so as to make this fact
appear. This motion was lost. Mr.. Bland
then renewed his motion of yesterday to
go into committee of the whole.
Mr.. Reed for the time took charge OF
the filibustering. He raised the point OF
order that the only thing in order was the
report of the Sergeant-at- arms, who when
the House adjourned last night received
warrants for the arrest OF 164 members.

vote upon, requesting the Council to order
the arc lights at the various corners OF the
town to be burned until daylight.

NEW YORK. Feb S-Government 5's
sold yesterday at 117h and 117%. New
York Central for the fourth week in jan
uary decreased s2S5,2f7 with an increased
mileage of 237 miles. London M to "a
lower. There is considerables speculation as
to whether st. Paul dividend will be de-
clared in March. The sentiment at that
time will rule the action of the directors.
Considerable opposition at present
to paying out one million dollars
good money. Talk of 1 cent
tax on sugar and 80 cents on whisky.
Lower prices may be looked for on rail-
road stocks, but not for the two Washing
ton favorites, sugar and whisky.
The London and Northwestern bank at
London, Eng, has failed. II is small
concern.
st. Paul's Dividend.
The demoralized condition of the wheat
market has started anew discus
sions as to the probability OF a
dividend on st. Paul, common in March.
People near to the management are quite
positive in assertions that it will be paid,
for the good reason that 1t has been
earned. On the other hand those
who generally have correct infor-
that a very strong influence in the direc--
tory has already expressed its opposition
to the declaration OF any dividend
on the common stock on the ground
that it would not be conservative
action and the company has no cash sur
plus to meet any possible emergency.
This interest has been dominant In st.
Paul for some time and should there be
no improvement in the grain market be-
fore long, it is claimed that its wishes
will prevail.
The Feeling is Bcarish.
The feeling among professionals con-
tinues bearish, particularly on the Granger
stocks.
One OF the most prominent manipula-
tors OF the market says that the great re-
serves in the banks are constant invita-
tion for the formation of bull pools in
different securities and on the first light
in the shape of an improved business
these pools will be made all through the
list.

stated that he didn't know what he would

less wages than they did in England.

A STRANGE CASE.
Another Schooner Master
Missing.
Captain Miller of the c. Nj. Darling
ton has Not Been Seen Since
the Sixth.

What is known as the south end' of
the San Francisco water front seems 10 be
bad place for schooner captains. Within
The past five years there have been a num-
Der of mysterious disappearances reported
10 the police, none of which have been ex-
planned.
About seven weeks ago Captain Funk.
commanding the schooner Fraucis Ber-
nard. at the time tied up at Third and
Berry street wharf, dropped out of sight.
leaving not the slightest cIew whereby his
friends might have traced him.
Two years ago, at the same place. a
scow captain named Martin vanished and
no one knew anything about the case until
it appeared in an inland paper.
Yesterday morning Henry Alsner made
public the fact that Captain Charles Miller
OF the schooner c. NJ. Darlington, lying at
Mission Flats and which usually landed
its small boats at Berry-street wharf, has
been missing since the OH of the month.
Coming as it does so quickly on top of the
disappearance of Captain Funk of the
Bernard the coincidence is rather strang ge
one.
Some days after Captain Funk failed to
put in an appearance the mate of the
schooner NebfOot told an unlikey story
about seeing two men leading Funk down
the wharf, and that said men struck the
captain over the head with blunt instru-
meni, after which they threw his body
inio the baY.
The Webfoot was too far removed from
the scene IF the supposed murder for the
mate TO notice the alleged assault, but the
fact still remains that Funk is missing and
his friends have not the slightest idea
where t. look tor him.
The acQuantances of Charles Miller are
in the same fix. Miller, like Funk, never
was given to OVerindulgence in liQuoT, and
this gives rise to the suppOstion tnAt a
gang of thugs must be at work along tne
front.
Though the Webfoots mate uDdoubt-
edlT did not see the murder OF Funk, his
theory was probably correct. a. number
OF tough characters have within the past
decade made he front from Channel to
Third streets their nightly headquarters.
Captain Miller, the latest supposed vic
tim of assassiuS left the schooner Dar-
lingtOn on the afternoon of the 9th nd
said he was going up town TO make few
purchases of goods. He must have had
some money with him.
As nearly as could be learned he landed
at Thlrd-street wharf and told friend
that when he came back, which would be
at night, he would arouse one of the boat
men at The same wharf and have him pull
him out to his ship.
Another story is that he landed at the
Potrero.
Since The time he left the schooner until
tho presenl writing Miller has not been
seen or heard of. and the police have de-
lermlned 10 make a thorough lnveStlga-
tlon of his and Funk's case.
