Special to the REcoRD-UNIoN.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9.-No reports of
disasters at sea as a result of the storm
have as yet been received, but the ter
rible experience of two fishermen in the
harbor of San Francisco may be the fore
runner of more such reports from out
side the Golden Gate.
On Thursday afternoon two fishermen,
Girlomama Ducich and Paul Yeich, left
Fishermen's Wharf TO go outside the
Heads TO cast their nets, but the weather
became so squally that they turned about
and sailed down the bay in quest Of her
ring, and when off Point San Mateo
their boat was capsized. This happened
about 4 o'clock, within a milo from
shore, but the wind was blowing a gale
and the waves were running high.
Both men clung to the boat for long
time, but as the chance for their rescue
was growing less and less, Yeich, who
was not a good swimmer at best, deter
mined 20 make an attempt TO swim for
the shore. He stripped off his clothes,
and, shaking his companlon's hand,
struck out, but soon showed signs OF dis
tress and returned to the boat. and, after
short rest, again struck out, but, like
the previous attempt, this proved too
the craft to which poor Ducich was still
clinging.
Ieich grew very despondent, and be-
gan coaXIng Ducich Tor knife with
which he could cut his throat and end his
sutterlngs, but he was refused, and
Duclcn, who began to see that something
had to be done, took the now haII-crazy
man in his arms and managed o get
line around him so that he could hold on
to the boat without much eXertion. AS
darkness came on Yeich could not be
called, and when the hail began to fall on
his back, he bade his friend adieu, and,
breaking from his lashes, threw himself
into the water and sank from sight.
Ducich says that this last act almost
took the courage out of him, and he
opened mis- knife to cut his throat, but re-
Trained, still hoping TO be rescued He
CHING to the upturned boat all night and
when morning came his strength had so
far deserted him that he could not use the
knife. In this exhausted condition he
sighted a bay schooner and signalled
trantically. But his signals had been
observed, and in a short time he was III
the cabin Of the schooner, ana tonight
was so far revived that he was put ashore
and returned TO his friends, alter sixteen
hours OF most terrible agony.

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 9.-The three hun
dredth anniversary of the birth of Gus
tavus Adolphus, the great Swedish King
who died on the battlefield of Teusten,
November 6, 1852, was celebrated here
with a pomp and splendor which made it
one of the greatest festivals ever held at
the capital.
The celebration commenced yesterday
morning, when the public school chill
dren gathered in their respective schools
and marched 10 the various state churches.
This morning patriotic and religious
hymns were rung on all the chimes i'll
the city. The reGimental bands also
played similar music. IN the Riddar-
holm Church, the burial-plgc6 of Gus
tavus Adolphus and other famous Swedish
Kings, where divine services were held,
took place at IL o'clock in the morning
and We're attended by King Oscar, the

mortal services were held in the German
Church. The sermon was preached in
the German language The King, the
representatives of Emperor William and
All ueleBaIlonS from germany attended.
At 10 p. NJ. a torchlight procession
marched through the principal streets,
the torchbearers consisting of all the
troops of the Stockholm garrison. \ few
hours later another tCrchlight procession,

cites of the capital, marched through the

RAILWAY EARNINGS.

Income and Expenditures for che Ffs-
cal Year Ended June soon Last.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission has Just issued a
preliminary report on the income and
expenditures of the railways in the
United States for the year ending June
80, 1894, prepared by its statistician. The
report contains the returns from 75O
operating companies whose reports were
filed before November 3lst. and covers
The operations of l4y, ,559.2l miles of line,
or about 10 per cent. of the total operated
mileage III the United States.
The gross earnings from the operation
of the l49, 559.2I miles OF line represented
were S949, ,639, 793, of which $500, l37, ,4I2
were passenger service, SOL, ,95S, ,493 was
from freight service, and 81, 402, ,40S was
for earnings from operation, covering re-
ceipts from telegraph, use of cars, switch
ing charges, etc. The operating expenses
were SS43, ,24S, ,33l, leaving net earnings OF
$500 2i0 734. Reduced 10 a mileage basis.
The earnings from passenger service were
s. 276 per mile OF the line, and from
freight service, 81, 1872; total gross earn
ings, S6,35d; operating expenses, S4,3O2
and net earnings, s., OBS.

lar receipts from the complete report OF

of line in earnings from passenger service
of SJ3, in earnings from freight service.
S774, and III total gross earnings of $40:
in operating expenses of S574, and in net
earnings of 500.
The total number of passengers carried
were 505, ,2S5, 446; passengers carried one
mile, 12,eSS, 9l6, ,51o: number of tons of
freight carried. 57l, $50, g42; tons carried
one mile, 20, ,426, ,2f4, 80.
In order to show the volume of traffic
for all the railways these figures should
be increased Ii or 10 per cent To com
pare the density of traffic with the previ-
Gus years, these figures are reduced To a
mileage basis, which shows the number
OF passengers carried one mile, per
mile OF line, to be So. 253, as compared
with SO, 500 in 1893. That there has been
an increase of passenger traffic, regard
less of the commercial depression, is due
to the unusual amount of travel in July,
August and October, 1888, on account of
the Worlds Fair. The number of tons
carried one mile of line was 4S0, ,433, as
compared with SOL ,332 for 1898. These
figures show the decrease i'll the volume
of freight traffic occasioned by the de-
moralization of business throughout the
country.
The net earnings available for the paw
ment Of fixed charges and dividends was
$500, ,2l0, IA, as against $3.50, 766, ,607 for the
same roads for the previous year-a de-
crease of Si4, ,533, $50. The dividends paid

John Burns, Richard Holmes. Samuel

On the question of immigration some
decided views are expected from the con-
ventlon. They will probably be in the
shape OF a resolution asking Congress to
limit foreign immigration to this country
for a number of years, but bevond doubt
the principal business to come before the
convention Will be the adoption of q
political platform. AS q basis for such
matter the following programme. made
by the different trades assemblies OF {, reat
Britain, has been recommended for con-
slderatlon: compulsory education; direct
legislation; legal eight-hour dav: sani-
tary inspection of workshops, mines and
homes; liability of employers for iniurv
TO health, body or life; the abolition of
the sweating system; the municipal
ownership of gas and electric plants for
public distribution; the naturalization
of teiegraphs, railroads and mines. The
principle OF referendum in all legislation.
With the exception OF the clause referring
to the ownership OF telephone and rail-
roads this platform will probably be
tavorably referred and adopted without
discussion.

francisco was Z of an inch.
During the storm the residence of
Julius Franklin, 2930 Franklin street,
was struck by lightning, a visitation
hitherto absolutely unknown in this CITY.
The house stands in an elevated but by
