of their food. The leaving time has
been advertised for noon. the same time
as the Farrason. the opposition
steamer. Cant. Roberts and j. G. Car
roll. agent OF the Fa<ralon. said yester-
day that the rate made by their COM
pany recently, $l4 and Sc, would hold.
and that they would not attempt to go
under the rate made by the Mexico.
as that boat was compelled TO go TO
san Francisco and might just as well
carry passengers as not.
People are taking advantage of the
cut In rates TO visit California. The
City OF Pueb.a, which sailed yesterday,
took down to San Francisco from this
city forty-seven cabin and fifsy-six
steerage passengers.
The Alaska rate war is also getting
red-hot. and a large number of peo-
pie are making arrangements to leave
. this city for the gold fields, despite the
warning sent down that that is no
poor mans country. The Chilcat and
Topeka viii both arrive some time next
week. and another cut Is looked for.
The Alaska Steamship Company. the
new line of which the steamer Wiiiapa
is TO be the pioneer. is causing the Pa
cific Coast Company much uorest. and
a battle royal between the two Is ex-
Dected when the steamer makes its ap-
peaTance. which will be about March /.
The company has solid backing and its
promoters say they are in 1T to stay,
and by good service and fair treatment
expect to capture a large STARE OF the
business. Capt. George Roberts, the
popular master of the steamer City OF
Kingston, is one of the promoters, and
will command the Wiiiapa.
The new company was Incorporated
last week at Port Townsend. with a
capital stock OF $4,000. divided into 500
shares. and the life of the corporation
set at fifty years. The following gentle
men were elected trustees: George III.

that as the Union Pacific does not demand
representation in the St. Paul sheets, the

j. NJ. SIMAiS.

W. G. Gibson Identified by Henry
williams as His Assailant.
William Y. Gibson, thirty years of age,
and an ex-employe in the District govern
ment was yesterday morning locked up
in the Second precinct station by Policeman
Hutton charged with being one of the men
who assaulted Henry Williams, an old
push-cart owner ten days ago.
The story of the assault as told by
William Dorsey, q special officer on Thir-
teenth street near P northwest. and Mr.
R. H. Wood, a resident iB the neighborhood,
is as follows:
Williams, who is an old and inoffensive
Colored proprietor of a push cart, was
showing it around Iowa Circle on Friday
July l 1, looking for a possible customer,
when three men in carriage drove down p
street and stopped near him With an
oath the men sprang from the vehicle and
with the butt of whip and their fists
proceeded TO beat the old fellow into in
sensiblity. Special Officer Dorsey ran
out of the park to aid the colored man,
but the cowardiy trio jumped into the
carriage and drove off.
Williams was taken TO Freedmen's Hos
pital in precarious condition, where he
remained up to last night, when he was
removed to his home, No 80 @ street
northwest
The police were given a description
of the men, and have been working on
the case since.
Hutton a few days ago ascertained that
Gibson, who resides at No. 1434 Rhode
Island avenue northwest, answered to the
description of the man who first struck
Williams and yesterday morning arrested
him.
Williams was brought to the station
later in the day and identified Gibson as
one of his assaiiants, and the first charge
of suspicion was changed to assault and
battery, and Gibson had to give 500
bonds to appear in police court this morn
ing before he was released
The defendent is said to be connected
with several prominent families in the
city, and once held position as Chief
telephone operator in the Commissioners
office. Williams claims that he was as
sauted by Gibson because he testified in a
court some time ago. against Gfbson's
wishes More he would not say.
