The San Francisco call., 1895-11-04

William BayJies is yet to be reported out
of the northern waters.
The Oriental and Occidental steamship
Evansdale, which arrived from China re-
Gently with monster cargo of freight, is
being fitted up to carry Chinese passen-
gers between this port and the Orient. 1t
is the purpose OF the company TO cut into
this carrying trade now being so largely
enjoyed by the Northern Pacific route
steamers.
A force Of carpenters are working like
beavers IN the hold of the great boat, rig
glng up about $50 bunks for the accommo-
datlon OF the certificated Mongolans who
contemplate the trip back and forth be-
tween America and Asia. This will be
com bined with the freight traffic for which
the Evansdale by reason of her great size
is so amply fitted.
The steamer Truckee, which with the
steamer Alice Blanchard has been waging
a successful war with the old lines running
to Portland and the Puget Sound ports,
mas been sold. This, unless a vessel is
procured to take her place, means an up
ward rush OF freight and passenger rates
to these places.
The schooner Una which has been fitted
out for the Central American trade. sailed
last Saturday for the south, with Capt. Nc
Lean, the dashIng sealing skipper who de-
fed the whole United States patrol feet in
Doiii5 0oa loH ears ago. IN command. 1t
is reported that he goes to MazatIan to bring
back the schooner Star of Freedom. AS
the schooner swung out from Main-street
wharf belated passenger arrived on the
dock. He flung his grip and bundles
aboard, and Captain Mclean in attempt
ing to catch them fell overheard. The
bold seaman was fshed out OF the bay,
but his remarks over the accident are
echoing yet around the water front.
There is considerable surprise mani
tested by the revenue cutter officers in
port regarding the reported charges pre-
ferred in Washington against Captain
Healy of the cutter Bear. The gallant
revenue service officer has many friends in
this port and on the Pacific Coast who do
not believe that he is guilty of any CON
duct other than that becoming an officer
and gentleman.

ELECTRICIAN ON FIRE,
Much Excitement on a Vehicle
of the MiSSion-Street
Line.
Passengers Refused to Ride on the
Disabled Car-Had to Shut Off
the Current.

Car 1913 of the Mission-street electric line
was the scene of small panic yesterday
afternoon, when the roof of the vehicle
took fire from some source-presumably
from the electric wires which supplied
power through the trolley.
The car was well freighted with passen.
gers among whom was large number oi
ladies, and when the smoke, which warned
the conductor and motorman of the dan
ger, was discovered they all evinced a sud-
den inclination to alight at the next cor
ner-in fact before the Car reached the
corner.
The conductor and motorman did all
they could to reassure the passen gers and
convince them that no danger existed, but
several timid members of the gentler sex
insisted on alighting and waiting for an
other car.
The male passengers were not so badly
frightened, but one man concluded not to
ride further, for fear something might
explode"
The motorman was at first puzzled as to
how to deal with the emergency, but
finally concluded that the only way out of
the dilemma was to shut off the current
by hauling down his trolley. This was
done, and after he had climbed on top OF
the car and extinguished the fire another
start was made. The wireswere not ready for
business however, and it was soon evident
that the car could not proceed by It's own
motor.
A stop was made until the next car, No.
772. came along, and, by means of an ap-
pilance made particularly for such cases,
coupled on ana pushed the disabled train
10 the carhouse.

Mare Island Letter.

MARE ISLAND, CAL, Nov. 2-Tht
difficulty of recruiting the United States
navy with American seamen is not in real
Ity so remarkable as on first consideration
1t may appear. In the densely populated
countries of Europe, their vast manufac.
turing interests employing enormous fleets
of merchantmen and their political situa.
tion demanding huge and efficient naval
establishments, seafaring life is the nat
ural, and in numerous instances the only
resource of the unconscrlpted lower strata
When it is also taken into account that
Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy and
Scandinavia has each a coast line exten.
sive out of all proportion to its interior,
and that these countries have a popula-
ton enormous, out of all proportion
to their area, it will readily be understood
that seamanship and fishing offer the
largest inducements and the widest out
lets, as well as the greatest attractions to
the needy or adventurous millions.
In this country all the conditions de-
scribed are exactly reversed; wherefrom it
follows as a natural sequence that the
worlds supply of experienced seamen is,
and always must be, afforded mainly by
the countries of Europe.
Neverth eless, the policy OF our new
navy is uncompromisingiy in favor of
shipping American seamen exclusively.
Whether it be practicable remains to be
proven. In face of the fact that a fine
type OF sailor is also demanded-the phvsi-
cal, mental, moral and seamanlike quail
ties of every applicant being subjected to
rigorous examination according 10 a care
fully prepared formula of Indispensable
qualifications-it appears somewhat doubt
ful. On this coast in particular, where the
development of the mines, the cultivation
of the land and the upbuilding of towns
call for an unlimited supply of able-b bodied
intelligent and industrious workers at
remuneration far in excess of that offered
to skilled seamen, and where vast areas
of land await the occupation of the more
ambitious, there is small likelihood al
expeditiously recruiting the navy in
accordance with the present plans of the
department.
The United States steamer Ranger. now
anchored in port for that purpose. is
shipping men at the rate of one or two q
day; but at that pace it will take months to
supply the Boston with her complement
of 229 men. However, it is proposed ia

by the management of the Baldwin Thea
ter is ga Contented Woman comedy

ported by strong company. This is
spoken of as one of Hoyt's best comedies
After having been closed for many weeks
the new California will reopen tonight
with Charley's Aunt" by Brandon
Thomas. This has been presented here
before and it has pleased many audiences
in the past. 1t is probab BILE that it has lost
none of its attractiveness and power to
raise smile.
This week the Bostonians will close
their engagement at the Colum bia and to-
night will present robin Hood" which
was so well received when it was on the
boards before. The members of this COM
'pany have made many friends among the
theater-goers of this City, who will regret
that the time has come when the singers
must take their departure.
Another realistic melodrama is to be put

house this evening. 1t is ''The Diamond
Breaker" ".by an American author, and it is
said to be well written. 1t is teeming with
strong realistic scenes, the principal ones
being a view of the interior of q lunatic
asylum and. the other a thrilling one in a
rock-crushing mill.
There will be offered at the Alcazar this
evening THE Crushed Tragedian," that
was written for and made famous by E. A.
Sothern. The play is good dramatic
one and it has good plot. Leonard

Sothern used to play. He will be sup
ported by the Alcazar company.
Emile Melville will make her reappear-
ance at the Tivoli Opera-house tonight in
the character of Justine Favart in Often
bach's comic opera "Mme. Fayart." There

hear one who in the past was such favor
ite. The cast includes the full strength of
the Tivoli company.
Those who are fond of vaudeville will
find much to entertain them in the bill to
be offered at the Orpheum Music Hall this
evening. Several new faces will appear
behind the footlights. There will be the
Orion trio, acrobatic contortionists, and
the Rackets, team Of musical comedians
Some of the favorites will appear in new
speciaIties.

has attained a greater degree of longevity
than any other of its class ever produced
in this country. It's premier presentation
at the Broadway Theater, New York City,

first run at that house scored exactly $50
performances, which terminated on Octo-
Der in the same year. Wang was after

The First Christian church.

''Our Unconscious Influence" was the sub
ject of a sermon delivered by R. NJ. Campbell
yesterday at First Christian Church on Twelfth
street With his usual zeal and earnestness
Mr.. Campbell warned all Christians against
worshiping by proxy, depending on others to
do their singing, praying and Christian work
for them, while they themselves relapse into q
state OF careless Indifference. Violation of the
Lords day was forcibly condemned. In con-
clusion final appeal was made to Christians
to realize the importance of their influence
and TO stand in the light of Christ that they,
like Peter, might cast a healing shadow on all
around them.

The total number of presentations during
the three revivals aggregated 251 perform
ances at that house, where its four hum
dredth presentation was fittingly observed
on Saturday, November 2, by the distribu
tlpn OF handsome souvenirs.
Another marked success is the pretty
opera DR.. Syntax," which enjoyed a
brilliant and highly prosperous run OF $50
nights at the same theater Both of these
operas, with their wealth of gorgeous
scenery, brilliant costumes, handsome
young ladies and innumerable novelties,
will be the magnet of attraction at the
Baldwin Theater for an entire month. Both
productions will be identically the same
In every respect as presented in the me-
tropolls and other large cities, while their
delightful melodies and crisp witty lines
will be interpreted by a great cast of
principals, as well as large and powerful
chorus of competent singers and pretty
girls.
On the opening night wang will be
presented, and will be continued during
the first and second weeks of the COM
edian's engagement, and "Dr. Syntax"
will occupy the stage during the third and
fourth weeks OF the comedians stay in
this City.
The San Francisco Music and Drama
says:
Apropos OF the reopening of the California
Theater next Monday night there is somewhat
OF coincidence, as when the house closed on
August the attraction was Hoyt's " Black
Sheep" and with the reopening comes Hoyt's
GA Contented Woman" which will be seen
here for the first time at the Baldwin. The re-
opening of the California viii have tendency
to revive business in that vicinity, which has
been noticeably quiet tor the past three
months, and il will also mark new era of
prosperity in that popular place of amusement
The new season will be inaugurated with Bran
don Thomas bright comedy, "Charley's Aunt
which will be presented for one week, and will
be followed by THE War of Wealth.
