THE GORSEDD IN PORT
Overdue Steamer Arrives at Port
Townsend.
SOME BAD GALES WEAFHERED
The British Steamer Strathnevis Sighted
Between the Sound and
Yokohama.

San Francisco, Dec. 7.-Reinsurance
on the overdue steamer Gorsedd was
quoted at 80 per cent this morning and
three hours after the posting of the
quotation dispatch was received from
Port Townsend, Wash, stating that
the Gorsedd had arrived all right. The
arrival created great excitement, for
of all the overdue vessels the Gorsedd
was the last looked for. She was 49
days from Singapore or about 20 days
overdue. The reinsurance on the Evan
dale jumped to 40 per cent today. The
British ship Lord Brassi and the steam
er Estadel of the northern fleet are
causing the gravest anxiety by their
long stay.
About 800 miles east of the Asiatic
coast the Gorsedd ran into the latter
end of the storm which was moving
eastward, and for three days the effects
of the gale were felt. The Gorsedd was
In ballast, high out of the water and the
mountainous seas swept over her decks
The Gorsedd was tossed about on the
seas like chip and the blowing out of
the boiler tubes necessitated much re-
pairing and navigating to prevent the
ship from being disabled.
Had the steamship not been of the
staunchest character, new and care
fully managed, she would undoubtedly
have been wrecked" said Captain Mead
But. as it was, the damage is nominal
Strong head winds were met during the
entire voyage"
Captain Mead says he passed 1870
miles south of the locality where the
Strathnevis is in a disabled condition
as reported by the bark John Gamble
which arrived at Vancouver, b. c., to-
day from Java. The Gorsedd did not
sight vessel during the voyage.

Edward Corners Of London, was received
as a fraternal delegate from the Seamen's

This is the first time that the English
organization has sent a delegation to an
American convention, although the
working cards of the unions of the two
countries are interchangeable.
In his annual report presented this af-

Of Chicago, said:
THE gravity Of the situation which
now confronts the organized seamen of
America demands the most careful DELHI

against their opponents. not only to con-
serve the particular law, in the enactment
Of which they were the prime movers, but
to enforce and strengthen all existing

Too Many Appeals TO the supreme
Court-Deps Case Matter.
Washington, Dec. 6.-The annual re-
port of Attorney General Harmon. sent
to congress today, shows that there has
been an increase in the number Of Grim
inal cases pending In federal courts. as
well as an increase in the expenses from
$3.S64.s9S in 1883. to $5.62S, 223 in 1885, Strong
argument Ia made for abolition of the
fees system. He says too much Of the
time Of the supreme court Is occupied by
criminal appeals, and suggests that such
appeals be disallowed save in capital
cases.
The attorney general also calls attention
to what he regards as the growing abuse
Of writs of nabeas corpus. and suggests
The allowance Of a stay by the supreme
court or one of its judges be required at
least on all appeals after the first.

tention to the necessary legislation to reg

out the desirability of the Investment OF
a single court with control over the ell
tire property.
Prominent action Is urged towards
working out the solution of the problem
presented in the governments relation to
the Central and Union Pacific railroads,
and as 1t may become necessary or advis-
able for the government to institute pro-
ceedings against one or both of these
companies he shows the necessity of a
law giving some court in the District of
Columbia Jurisdiction of the entire prop
erty and the parties in interest.
The attorney general says the principles
established by the opinion of the supreme
court in the Debs case are of the highest
value and Importance.
