SAN DIEGO, CAL, Dec. 21.-Second
Mate Robert Smith and Seamen William
Tornas and John Stromburg, of the
steamer Carlos Pacheco of this port, were
drowned at San Antonio Landing, Lower
California, yesterday. Their bodies were
not recovered.
AT the time of the accident Mate Smith
and the two sailors were engaged in taking
wheat from the beach to the steamer, at
anchor several hundred yards out. One
of the ships boats was used in the work,
and was with great difficulty run through
the heavy surf. During an unusually
heavy swell, and when the boat was
heavily loaded, a curling breaker capsized
the craft and threw the men into the
water. Although but short distance
from the beach, none Of them reached land
nor were seen by the men on the steamer.
1t is believed that all three of the men
were struck and stunned by the boat as it
went over.
As soon as the accident occurred Captain
Colburn sent part of the crew in boat to
try to save the men, but no sign of them
could be found. The surf at San Antonio
Landing is usually high and strong and
the place has always been feared by Cop

ATTORNEYS for Heney, who, he claimed, pet
. tifogged the case and resorted to under
handed methods in trying to clear the de-
fendant. He dwelt upon the wholesale
use Of money in running witnesses out OF
the country and hiring officers of the law
who, while supposed to be earning sala-
ries for protecting the public from thieves,
were doing the unlawful work of the de-
fense by perjury and bribery. He said that
bigger thieves were behind the defendant,
ard that when the real character OF the
witnesses, strikers and allies Of Heney was
summed up, he would assay in honesty and
:'respectability as the best OF the gang, al
though the trial had shown him to be q
thief and perjurer.
The Government is now taking active
steps to proceed against all persons con-
cerned in inducing witnesses to leave the
country by intimidation and bribery.
The cases will be pushed vigorously, and
the officers of the Government say they
will go to the bottom of the mint scandal
if it takes ten years and no matter whom
1t involves. Because of the tremendous
efforts being made to acquit Heney, 1t is
clear that men higher in station are i'm
phcated. The defense of Heney cost
thousands of dollars, and he bore but a
very small proportion of it himself.
The discovery in the treasury OF $4,000
freshly minted coins of 1893, supposed to
have been surreptitiously minted, has
caused the Government to move in the
matter.
All the coinage of 1893 is being counted
in the mint The full coinage was $677,-
600. The United States District Attorney
has examined the coins in the State treas
ury and many have been found to be de-
fective, as if rushed through in a hurry.
The theory is that when silver bullion was
worth 81 cents i'll 1893 lot was ulreptl-
tiously coined, and after the Government
STAMP was on it it became worth 81 20, a
profit of over 81 cents on the dollar. A
quiet mInting operation of this kind would
net the insiders $67, ,290. Two people could
do this-the melter and refner or his as
sistant and the coiner-but if more officials
were taken into the com bine it could be
worked much more easily. 1t is predicted
in Carson that some high heads will fall
before the Government investigation ends.

A La BUCKLEY.
The Enrolment Winds Up in
Enormous, if Not Suspi-
cious, Size.
Too Many Names South of Market--The
General Committee to Meet
Thursday.

The big six nights enrolment of the
Buckley faction of the local Democracy
wound up last night with an excess of
1900 names on the rolls.
Few enrollments in past years. when
the party has been united, has exceeded
this. In 1892, when the reorganizers and
the old county committee united at the
primary enrolment, and when enroll
ment was largely done by postal card. the
total was 1875. How much of this en-
rollment is legitimate remains to be indi-
Gated. The Junta people say, OF course,
that it is farce and full of stuffing.
Buckley leaders say that there has un-
doubtedly been some stuffing, as there has
been at every primary by every party or
faction, but that every effort has been
made to minimize it because of the cir
cnmstances which make it especially need
full for that side to be circumspect and do
about right, and that the enrolment is as
fair as any the City has seen. It is asserted
that any stuffing done is owing to the
presence of rival district factions, who
want to win the delegates at the primary,
and that the rolls will be thoroughly
purged.
The enrolment on the last night was
very heavy. Reports were complete last
night except for one night in the Thirty
eighth District and two nights in the
Thirty-ffth. The following figures show
respectively the enrolment for last night
and the total enrolment by districts:
Twenty-eighth District, 1869; Twenty
first 177.s41; Ii aga Thirty,second, 15o,s26; !;
597; Thirty-sixth, 314-1171; Thirty-seventh,
l17-495; Thirty-ninth, 1O2A59; Fortieth,
2O1-691; Forty-first, 1854; Forty-second,
1898; Forty-third, 3O-34S; Forty-fourth,
1855; Forty-ffth, S0-395.
The total of the Thirty-ffth District.
minus two nights not reported, is 430 and
the Thirty-eighth, with one night unre-
ported, is 2SS. The total reported is II ,617
and the reports lacking are relied upon to
bring the total up to II, 900.
The totals by district show where Buck
leys greatest strength lies-in the south
of Market districts.
During the week the district canvassing
committees are supposed to revise and
purge the rolls and the primary committee
will be nightly at 20 Ellis street deciding
and overseeing things. Several factional
contests in districts are expected to
loom up.
Yesterday call was issued by Acting
Chairman Joseph Rothschild for meeting
of the general committee at B'nai Birth
Hall on Thursday evening. This will
be the last meeting or the last
but one before the election of q new
general committee at the primary on
January IL.

which under his energetic management
soon became daily of considerable i'm
portance. A few years later misfortune
reduced him to the necessity OF working at
the case in Boston. Afterward he became
editor of the Manchester IN. H. Daily
Mirror. At that period of his life it is
probable that, like the proverbial rolling
stone, he gathered no moss, for in few
years he made another change and was put
in charge of the New Hampshire Gazette
of Portsmouth. In 1856 he went to New
ark, N. j., and started the Newark Daily
Journal, which he edited and published
for nearly fifteen years. During part of
that time he published also monthly
magazine, the New Jersey Review.
In 1871 he first came West and stopped
in Chicago for several years. being part of
the time employed in editorial writing on
the Chicago Daily News which had
then for financial backer Mccormick, of
reaper fame. 1t was then published as a
campaign sheet in the interest of Horace
Greeley's Presidential campaign.
Later Mr.. Fuller went to Salt Lake and
worked on the Herald, and finally in 1882
came to Tacoma under engagement to
edit the Daily News of this city, then Just
started by H. c. Patrick. In 1856 he was
elected the first secretary of the Chamber
of Commerce, upon its organization, and
remained there two years. Then he
started a weekly called Commerce in
Puyallup, which he sold in 1888 to Colonel
J. W. Redington.
Mr. Fuller is one of the best known and
attractive individuals in Tacoma society
and is the father of Miss Fay Fuller who
not only inherits her fathers journalistic
ability, but has gained fame as a mountain
climber. She was the first woman to
plant foot on the summit of Mount Tacoma,
Ia, ,444 feet above the sea level, and has
since repeatedly made the ascent. She has
also climbed Mount Hood and Mount
Baker in Oregon. She is prominent mem.
ber of the Alpine Club and fine amateur
actress.

The play throughout was quick, snappy
and interesting. In the first half Sacra-
mento gained touchdown in quick order,
but failed to kick goal. Then Stockton
made backdown on fuke and kicked
goal. Sacramento then rushed the ball by
a series of brilliant plays to their oppo-
nents' fve-yard line, but the call of time
saved q touchdown.
The second half was more stubbornly
contested. but resulted in touchdown for
Sacramento, who again failed to kick a
goal.

NIGHT CLERKS A STUDY.
The Experiences of Peter f. Daley in
Various Cities.

When Peter F. Daley was playing GA
Country Sport" last year he knew that
John J. McNally's new play for him was
to be called 1.-THE Night Clerk - and SO be-
gan to make observations.
Night clerks became his hobby, and,
travelling as he did from one end of the
country to the other, he had ample oppor-
tunity to observe them. He had seen the
begrimmed porter in the one-night stands
who officiates in that capacity, and who
has an idea that his duty consists In disre-
garding the bells, in case they exist,
full of coal. He had watched the
magnificent being who presides over
the huge hotels in the still hours, watched
the electric globes alternately pale and
blush before the steady effulgence of his
diamond scarfpin, and from these he OBJ
tanned many good bits, which undoubtedly
helped THE Night Clerk" to success. His
friends were aware that Mr.. Daley was
searching for intere sting incidents and
quaint situations, and did not bother him.
but his acquaintance were in the dark.
In the course of his researches Mr..
Daley met night clerk, who had just
been discharged for no other reason than
that he was cross-eyed. This is good
quality in poker player, but seems to be
a bad one for night clerks. He officiated
in hotel where they had a telesime. That
is a contrivance whereby a guest can place
a pointer on dial that is fixed to the wall
of his room and orders anything he wishes
without having to summon a bellboy. The
dial is covered with the names of articles
that the guests are most apt to call for,
and upon arranging the pointer and
pushing the button, the dial IN the office
shows what is desired. The wife of the
proprietor of the hotel had been away for a
long time and returned while the night
clerk was on duty.
Her first question to her husband was
regarding as TO how he passed his time,
and his answers We're straight and salts
factory. The proprietor wanted to order
her cup of tea or something or other to
refresh her, and she told him to send for
whatever he had been drinking while
she was gone. With a calm satisfaction
the proprietor arranged the pointer for a
bottle of Apollinaris water and punched
the button.
Fifteen minutes later the bellboy entered
the room bearing seven whisky cocktails
and copy of the Police Gazette, all be-
cause the clerk was cross-eyed and hadn't
read the indicator right. He was dis
charged, but even that didn't build bridge
of any size over the gulf that was created
in that happy home.
Mr.. Daley went into a hotel about 2
A. NJ. The night clerk had his chair tipped
back, and had put his feet in the safe in
stead of closing it, while he INDUCED in a
temporary doze. Daley had cigar. ana
wanted match.
''Could you obllge me with little fire ?"
said the actor, softly.
The clerk aid not move, and Daley re-
peated his question with the accent on
fire" That night clerk was awake in an
instant. He pulled the fire alarm, hur-
riedly iammed the valuables in the safe
into his watch pocket, and had not re-
covered his breath before he had been dis
charged by the irate proprietor.

ROME, ITALY, Dec. 21.-The memory of
the Italian soldiers slain in the battle of
Ambalagi, Abyssinia, was commemorated
this morning at meeting held in the
University of Rome. The gathering con-
-tained a strong leaven of socialists, who
interrupted an address delivered by Pro-

of the audience retorted with cries
of viva Italia! Estadan army! !' and the
uproar was continued for some time. Some
of the Socialists cried "Viva Menelek J"
whereupon a riot ensued, in which chairs
were thrown and fists were freely used
many being injured. Several students
were taken into custody by the police out
side of the university because they refused
to disperse when ordered to do so. Later
a crowd of 300 students placed a wreath

RETURNING TO PORT TOWNSEND.
The ship WachMsett Disabled by a Gal.

at Sea.
PORT TOWNSEND. WASH, Dec. 21.-
The ship Wachusett, which was towed to
sea last Tuesday with coal from Nanaimo
for San Francisco, is now being towed
back to this port in disabled condition,
as the result of an encounter with storm
off the Washington coast. Her cargo is
badly shifted, and she is reported leaking.
The Wachusett is one of the stanchest
of the feet that went out during the
recent storm, and her condition has
aroused grave fears in the minds OF ship
ping men here for the safety of other
vessels along the northwest coast. Appre-
hension is especially expressed for the
Stratanevis, for if the prevailing storm of
the past week extended far enough out to
sea to reach her, she has almost certainly
foundered. The Wachusett will probably
be brought to this port, and will arrive to-
morrow forenoon.
