A SCHOONER TURNS OVER

Find the Prize--A Slow and
Hard Tow

San Francisco, Feb. 16.-The steamer
Umatilla. which arrived from Puget Sound
ports Yesterday morning, reported passing
n capsized schooner off Point Reyes. The
identity of the vessel could not be made
out. and only a general description of the
wreck could be given by the officers OF the
steamer. 1t was shortly after daylight
when the derelict was sighted, and the
first officer and number OF sailors low
cred a boat and made close inspection OF
the overturned vessel. From the wreck
Point Reeves bore southeast by three-quar-
tiers east and distant about twenty-five
and a half miles Bodega Head was
northeast bv half north and about seven
miles off.
As soon as the Umatilla reported the
derelict, the tugs Vigilant, Fearless and
Sea King were sent in search OF 1t. Inc
Vigilant took course outside the spot
designated by the officers of the Umatllla,
while the Fearless went inside of it. The
Sea King steamed along between the two
tugs of the Spreckels company and stralght
for the spot marked in the report OF the
captain of the coast steamer. The Sea
King sighted it first and was soon along
side. By the time she reached the dere-
lict the sail was awash and little OF 1t
showed above the water. The captain OF
the Redstack tug took possession of it
and was preparing to tow the capsized
vessel into port when the two tugs of the
rival company headed for the Golden
Gate. 1t will be hard tow and it is not
likely that the Sea King will get into port
with the schooner before this afternoon.
There is little reason to hope that the
crew of the unknown wrecked schooner
was saved. A vessel of her size would
carry about six men and they all most
likely found death beneath the waves.

CALIFORNIA TO SEND A TEAM
Hay or June VIII See a Monster Athlete
Meeting

1ay or June Will See q Monster Athletic
Meeting
Ann Arbor, Mich, Feb. 16.-The Uni
versity of Michigan Athletic Association
has received overtures from the Univer-
sity of California for daul track and field
meet in May or June. California expects
to send team of athletes to New York to
compete in the American intercollegiate
championships May 25. While East they
will meet the University of Pennsylvania
in a joint field day at Philadelphia. They
are DESTROYS of stopping over on their way
to or from New York to meet the Univer-
sity of Michigan track team. The pro-
posal has been favorably received here and
if satisfactory date can be found the
meet will be a go. Michigan will propose
to hold the meeting in Detroit, once SO
partial to track and field athletics. As
Michigan expects to have the best track
team in her history this year and Califor-
MIA has most of the crack athletes of the
Pacific Coast, the contest should be good
one. If held at all it will be about the
10th of June.

A Corporation Shows a Surplus

New York, Feb. 16.--The report of the
National Lead Company for the year to
December 81, 1894, shows net earnings of
81, 212, 25S; dividends paid, 81, 400, 442; de-
felt, 1858, 1874 There was a surplus of
$3.50, 535 for 1898, so there still remains
surplus of $672, 1s2. The report ascribes a
decrease or the earnings to general de-
preston in business. The company has
been unable to reopen its smelters and re-
filming plant by reason of silver legislation
and imposition of high tariff duties on
silver lead ores, which resulted in build
ing up great smelling plants in Mexico.
The mortgaged indebtedness has been re-
duced to $12 SOB.

WHAT THE STATE WILL LOSE
Checking Up the Settled Shortage Of

Chicago, Feb. 16.-A special the Record
from Mascoutin, ILL.,, says: In spite of
the fact that Chicago bondsmen paid
$3.50, 900 to cover the shortage of the late
State Treasurer, it appears that the state
will still lose something like $14, 900 on ac-
count of the Setter Ramsey failure. When

Setter aud Ramsey went on Bakers bond.
In return, it is alleged, Baker deposited
$4,000 state funds in Settlers Lebanon

war; that is attracting much attention in
Northwest Texas, is in progress at Uvalde,
the county seat of Uvalde county, west of

the latter have been taken out of school
on that account A mas meeting of the
white citizens was held yesterday and a
united protest made against the mixture
of the two races. The school trustees re-
fuse to recede from their position in the
matter and the trouble will be carried to
higher authority.

AND THE LAND SLID
People In Alameda County Don't Know Where

People In Alameda County Don Know Where
They Live
Oakland, Feb. 16.-Portions of the Ber-
ryman Hills, north of Berkeley, are slid
ing toward the valley. About five acres
have shifted their position. The founda-
tions of the hills seem to be solid enough.
1t is the adobe surface stratum, about
thirty feet in depth, that is gradually de-
scending. Engineers and scientists who
have examined the shifting area, believe
that the displacement of the earth is due
to the rains, and not to any sinking of
the hills caused by volcanic or other sub
terranean force. Considerable damage has
been caused and some fears are entertained
that the gradually descending mass may
some day cause disaster to life and prop
erty. The residence of X. W. Darms, built
on the shifting earth, has moved six
inches out of the plumb, and the main
pipes of the Alameda Water Company
have been twisted and snapped in nearly
a hundred places.

How many people know the color of

to the light piece of very thin gold leaf.
urely enough, as you look through it,,
the color is not yellow, but a beautiful
green, not little like the green of the
sea.
Gliding is done with pure gold, eigh-
teen carat fine, for cheaper gold will not
stand beating into the very thin leaves.
The leaf itself is generally laid on to a
sticky surface previously tprepared. The
leaf is so thin and fragile that it has to

Credit to Gov. Robie.
!itor Of the PRESS:

To the Editor of the PRESS:
Gorham, April 3. Yesterday a friend
called my attention to an article in the
Express dated March 90, in which all
the credit for the passage of the Gorham
dormitory bill was given to Representa-
tive Burns of West brook. The article re-
ferred to says, "But few realize that it is
almost solely due to Representative 7.
S. Burns that it finally passed." Again
it says, quoting the words Of the princi-
pal before the Normal School, sour VIC
tory is due to Mr.. T.S. Burns, and we all
owe him debt we cannot pay"
The whole, sole, total praise givento Mr..
Burns Not another name mentioned in
the whole article! Not one iota of ap-
probation for anybody else.
Nov. Mr.. Editor, hold to giving credit
to home talent when it can be done con-
sistently, and I say emphatically and
fearless of denial, that without Gov.
Roble's powerful aid that bill would
| never have had the ghost of a chance of
surviving its rejection by the committee.
The bill langulshed. AT one time we
| thought Ii dead. The committee had
voted against it. The advocacy of Mr..
Burns in the speech, to which / listened
very attentively, consisted in a great
measure of a rehash-reading of Mr.. Cor
thell's newspaper article. Had not the
Governor put new life into the bill. its
other supporters would have been power
less as babes-one and alf-with MIR.
Blu MS thrown in. The oldest member of
the House, Mr.. Dickey of Fort Kent,
| | think, stated in substance On the floor,
that the appearance of Gov. Robie in its
support decided him in its favor.
| / felt that the game was up with us
VIXEN | saw his wide-awake countenance
stirring up the zeal. and his words fam
| ing the enthusiasm of it's favorers and
| his State broad influence, enlisted under
| the dormitory banner, all brought to
| bear on the furtherance of that bill.
| | have a dim idea too, that our pastor
had a hand in that matter, and worked
| like beaver at times for several weeks
inssAugusta. And now TO claim that
| Mr.. Burns should have the sole, undivid-
ed honor of giving life to that act is the
| most preposterous idea that has been
| hedged in any Gorham brain for many a
| day.
Others also aided in making the bill a
success--all, indeed, opposed to my views
Of what was expedient. but for all that
have no idea of letting Westbrook, run
away with Gorham laurels, if laurels
there were; and | end by asserting that
| if the resurrection and the passage of
| the domitory bill is due to any one man,
| that man is Gov. Rohie.
