Just at the moment of most danger a
number of the crew mutinied, and the at
tention of the officers was called to the
suppression of foes within as well as with
out. 1t was q striking moment-the mates
fighting with the rebellious men, and the
splendid ship drifting on the breakers.
However, the trend of the ocean current
swept them clear. and the crew were
driven to submission.
At Honolulu the men complained to

President Colnon of the State Harbor
Commission states that as soon as prac-
ticable all tolls will be removed from the
wharves, and only such rent rates as are
necessary for paying the expenses OF sea-

penses will be levied upon shippers and

"Some persons are striving" said the
Commissioner, "to believe that the State is
| trying to make money out Of its water front,
| which doctrine is nonsensical. We only
desire to equalize charges, not raise them
by any means. A firm using fifty linear
feet of wharf should pay half as much as
one using 100 feet. No burdens upon any
thing are contemplated. On the contrary,
charges will be cut when possible all along
the line. All purchases will be made and
all work done by contract, and economy on
all sides will be the rule"

WANT THE PARK LIGHTED.
Business Men to Ask Leave to II1u-
inmate the Driyeways to
the Ocean.

the Ocean.
A petition is to be presented at their
next meeting to the Park Commissioners,
asking permission to have electric lights
set up along the driveway from the Mid
winter Fair grounds to the ocean. This
will render the park perfect drive for
both wheelmen and horsemen.
At present the driveWays can be used
after nightfall only at the full of the moon,
when they are thronged. The illumination
of the driveway will attract enthusiastic
wheelmen from all parts of the City.
The wheelmen, however, are not the only
ones interested. Increased throngs at the
park and cliff means increased business
for the owners of the resorts in that
neighborhood. 1t is from these gentlemen
that the petition comes. They ask to be
allowed to put an arc light at every turn
in the road from the old fair grounds to
the Cliff. This will require fourteen lights,
the rental of which will be about $40 a
month each.
The prime mover in the scheme is Henry
Doscher, the proprietor of the Seal Rock
House and the pavilion at the cliff. ]. M.
Wilkins of the Cliff House is also inter
ested in the matter. Other restaurant and
saloon keepers, the cyclery firms and some
of the cycling clubs have promised to con-
tribute each month to the lights. AS
their fund increases they propose to put In
more lights.
No opposition is anticipated to the
proposition. Park Superintendent Nc.
both approve the lights as desirable aces
series to the attractiveness of the park.
The scheme has been considered at various
times, but the funds of the commission
have been so low as to make an appropria-
ton for more lights practically impossible.

THE OLD CANTEEN BURNED
A Last Remaining Landmark
at the Preside Is De-
Stroyed.
OCCUPIED BY COL. STEVENSON.
1t Was Used as a Post-Trader's
Store and Later as the Post
Exchange.

The historic old building that had for
years been occupied as post-trader's
store and since 1889 as post exchange at
the Presidio was burned at o'clock yester-
day morning.
The fire originated in the sleeping-room
occupied by Ernest Rolf, civilian en-
ployed in the place. but the cause has not
been discovered. Rolf had retired only a
short time before the fire started and was
believed to have been asleep at the time.
He is in the hospital badly burned about
the face, and one hand is so burned that it
will have to be ,amputated. He was un-
conscious most of the day, and in periods
of consciousness he seemed to know moth
ing of the fire or how he had been injured.
The steward, Peter Larkin, who slept on
a bunk in Lieutenant Davis Office, barely
escaped being burned. He and another at

The three-masted schooner Sophia Suth-

Her catch was small-309 skins-and she
comes back two months earlier than the
usual return of the sealers because of the
dissatisfaction of the hunters. They being
paid only for the skins they take, insisted
that Captain Sutherland would not sail
the vessel where the game was plentiful,
and they refused to hunt.

place in 1865 and in that year the heirs OF
John Bowie GRAY were in Richmond, Va,
and because of the War of the Rebellion they
could not hold regular communication
with those parties in this State who had
the affairs Of the estate in charge.
Since 1865 the plaintiffs averred that over
$50, 900, 900 had been taken out of the mines,
and they laid claim to three-eighths of this
sum as their due. They also asked that,
after proper accounting had been made,
they be given three-eighths title to the
mining property.
Master in chancery Houghton took the
evidence in the case and submitted the
same to Judge McKenna. In deciding the
case yesterday Judge McKenna found that
the company's title was good and that the
plaintiffs had no legal rights in the matter.

THE GRAY HEIRS LOSE.
Judge McKenna Decides That They
Have No Claim on the New
AImaden Mines.

Almaden Mines.
The Gray heirs and other claimants to
the new Almaden quicksilver mines in
Santa Clara County lost their case in the
United States Circuit Court yesterday
under the decision of Judge McKenna.
1t has been twelve years since the liti-
CATION over the mining property was be-
gun, the complaint having been filed in
November, 1888. The attorneys for Jane
NJ. Gray and the other plaintiffs were
Henry Vrooman, Latlmer D. Morrow and
w. NJ. Pierson. In the complaint it was
contended that the original title, under
which the suit was brought, stood in the
names of John Bowie Gray and Knowles
Taylor. The title was acquired from the
Mexican Government. :
The Quicksilver Mining Company of
Pennsylvania, now the Quicksilver Mining
Company, acquired the property through
an administrator sale at the death of
John Bowie Gray. The sale was ordered
by the Probate Court of Santa Clara County.
1t was this sale which the Gray heirs
asked to have set aside, claiming that the
proceedings were not carried out in proper
form and that at the time they had not re-
ceived proper notice of the same. II took

Fire Marshal Towe and the Police
Are Making a Thorough
Investigation.

Some frebug seems determined to burn

southeast corner of Market and Sixth

Fire Marshal Towe, aided by the police, is
using his best energies to discover the mo-

About II o'clock Sunday night Professor
Foster, who resides on the premises, on re-
turning from the Orpheum with his wife,
discovered smoke issuing from an ante
room of one of the lodge rooms on the Sec
ond floor. He opened the door and saw a
fire burning briskly in a corner of the
room. still alarm was given, and the
fire was quickly extinguished.

EUREKA SOC|ETY'S FUNDS,
Despite Liberal Subscriptions
There Is a Deficit This
Year.
The Benevolent Hebrew Associa-
ton Was Overtaxed In Its
Work of Charity.

| A deficit confronted the Eureka Benevo-
| lent Society at its semi-annual meeting
which was to have been held Sunday.
| Owing to the absence of quorum no
meeting was held, but since the members
contributed so literally toward making
| good the deficiency the failure to meet will
entail no serious results.
| The deficiency this year is about $4,000
| and nearly the whole amount was raised
by private subscription. This society has
been in existence since 1850, and during
the last forty-fve years has been the means
of helping hundreds of thousands of needy
Hebrews.
AS benevolent organization it has few
| imitators. Those who contribute to it's
several funds have no chance or hope of
| getting any return except that which comes
| from the consciousness of having helped
some worthy person to improve his or her
condition. 1t is charity pure and simple.
| Only those comfortably well off can afford
to pay the $40 admission fee and monthly
dues, because there is no possible opportu-
nifty OF deriving any personal pecuniary
benefits.
President S. w. Rosenstock in his report
| for the last fiscal year, which was given to
the society yesterday, says the average
| w
by the society during the last fiscal year
was 212 month, that number being equally
divided between individuals and families

contributions handed directly to them, but
also the expenditure for physicians and
medicine and transportation. 1t is indica-
tive of the hardship that prevails that we

President Rosenstock recommends that
the clause in the bylaws exacting an adj
mission fee of $40 be eliminated, as the
resources of the society could be largely
increased by inducing people to join the
society if this fee was abolished.
