WASHINGTON, July 3.-Secretary Her.
bert has acted on the findings of the court
martial held at Mare Island navy yard, in
the cases of Lieut.. w. W. Buchanan. di
vision officer, and Lieutenant Dorm, ord
nance officer, Of the Olympia, who were
tried for culpable negligence, resulting in
an accident TO a gun and causing the death
of gunner Johnson Secretary Herbert ap-
proved the acquittal of Buchanan. but in the
case, of Dorm dsapproved the findings of the
court-martial. which also acquitted him.
Both men, however, have been relieved from
arrest and restored to duty, and there will
be no further proceedings.
In refusing to approve the findings of the
court in the case of Lieutenant Dorm, Sec
retary Herbert read quite a lecture to ma
val officers. The accident was caused by the
failure OF some one TO fill the recoil cylinder
with liquid. The cylinder was supposed to
have been filled at Mare. island. Daily in
spection OF the recol cylinder is required,
though no particular person is designated to
make the inspection. The Secretary says:

other, but II is no excuse to say that he
was very busy, that he had many duties to
perform, that he could not have personally
done a particular thing without working in
the night. Dorm does not even show that
he directed any person to fill this recoil
cylinder before firing. He had notice the
day before Of the proposed target practice.
He rested confidently In the belief that this
cylinder had been filled twenty days before
by workmen. The drill book forbade him
to rest on any such belief. II declares that

LATE NEWS OF ALAMEDA,
Death of Edward Shelley, the
Well-knoWn Trustee and
Tea Expert.
A Valuable Trotter Dies of LockjaW
Through Careless ShoeIng.
Shay Held.

Edward Shelley, the well-known tea
expert, died at his home on Grand street
Tuesday evening. His illness was of short
duration, he having come home last Sat
urday afternoon from his place of business
and taken to his bed. He was treated by
Drs. Reynolds and Lubbock, but his NAL
ady was too advanced for medical minis
tration. His death was due to pneumonia
and heart failure.
Deceased was a native of Ireland, 53
years of age, and left widow, two boys
and two girls. He was recently appointed
member of the new board of Free Lii
brary trustees, but resigned rather than
make contest for the Office.
Mr.. Shelley was one of the best tea ex-
perts on the coast and for many years
acted in that capacity with Tillmann &
Bendell and afterward with Seigfried &
Brandenstein, but of late he has been in
business for himself at ia California
street.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
morning at o'clock from ST. Joseph's
Church, where a requiem high mass will
be celebrated. The remains will be in
tered in st. Mary's Cemetery, Oakland.

the Messiah has prophesied that several
people connected with the Peterhoff scan
dals will soon die, and among them is Mrs.
Lizzie Carter.
Primate Smith lives in a comfortable ark
that IS moored on the Alameda shore of
the estuary. Although his prophetic utter
ances and general appearance do not favor
ably impress stranger, there are hum
dreds of people in Alameda County who
believe implicitly in Smith and who visit
him frequently. When CALL reporter
visited the ark with one of the primate's
closest friends the seer was not in pro-
phetic humor. He was busily engaged in
eating, and stated that it was absolutely
necessary for him to eat to excess. as when
the power was upon him he would not
partake OF food for several days. When
told of the illness of Mrs. Carter the
prophet did not express any surprise and
merely intimated that ''there were Others"
Among those whom the prophet says are
doomed are Mr.. and Mrs. ChappeIl, the
parents of the widow of Poulson.
There is nothing peculiar about a
prophet living In an ark or in his being
absent from the world at times" said Pri-
mate Smith. 1--WE read of the prophets of
old foaming at the mouth and divesting
themselves of their garments, and dong
all sorts of things that the common people
wondered at. 1t is the same to-day. When
feel the power 1 refrain from eating and
drinking and simply utter that which Is
given me to utter. l. can't tell you any
thing of the future at this time, as l am
not in communication with the spirits.
was told, and so prOphesied, that a new
will of the late Count Poulson would be
found, and it has been found. There is at
this time some calamity hanging over Mrs.
Carter, but l cannot say definitely what 1t
is. But if she does not come on with the
will it will surely reach here"
Smith is q patriarchal looking man about
20 years old and impresses his visitor with
his intelligence. His eyes are remarkably
clear and bright and it is very evident that
whether his uncanny utterances are halu-
cinations or prophesies he is thoroughly
sincere and really believes in his own i'm
portance.
Mrs. Poulson has announced her inten-
tion to defend Peterhoff against all corners
and has intimated that the task of entering
an old Norman castle in feudal times was
fun itself compared to what will be expert
enced should Mrs. Carter and her cohorts
attempt to force an entrance into Peterhoff.

BURNED THE THIRD TIME.
The Factory of the San Francisco Coop
erage Company Goes Up in Smoke
and Fire.

A fire, the origin of which the Fire Mar
shall was unable to ascertain, broke out In
the one-story frame factory Of the San
Francisco Cooperage Company, at Seventh
an Townsend streets, about 20 o'clock
last evening and speedily razed the struc-
ture to the ground.
When the engines, in response to call
from box 1S2, arrived at the scene the build
ing was mass of flames and no headway
could be made against the confiagration.
The only person in the building at the
time it took fire was the watchman, and he
was unable to give reason for the blaze.
The loss is about $1,000 on the building,
stock and tools and the amount of insur-
ance, if any, is unknown.
An investigation will be made by the
Fire Marshal to-day.
The burned out concern has had singu-
lar i'll fortune during the past two years,
having had it's factory consumed by fire
three times during that period. In 1894,
while running as the Kilburn Cooperage
Company at Second and Townsend streets,
its building was totally destroyed by fire.
The company then removed to Townsend
ana Stanford streets, where a second fire
sent the factory and contents up in smoke.
Another removal followed, and last nights
condagration completed the list of fires.

HOME-INDUsTRY CLUBS.

Barnett Advocates New Lines of Work
for the Manufacturers Association.
1.-The work which the members of the
Manufacturers and Producers Association
must next take up is education" said NJ.
M. Barnett, member of that organization,
yesterday. 1.-THE association is already
working in the right direction, but it has
many things to overcome. 1t finds friction
here and there, and the people of the State
seem to have an insane idea that foreign
trademark is guarantee of superior
quality.
"Last year we imported SIC, 900, 900 worth
of goods of which at least $3S, 900 600 came
from foreign countries. The sending of so
much money out of the State is a trc-
mendous strain on our resources, and be-
lieve that it would in great measure
cease if the people really understood the
matter.
"For instance, last year we imported
332, 900, 900 pounds of sugar and produced
only AZ, ,OOO, 600 pounds. With our facilities
we coulo manufacture the entire quantity
consumed if the people would only de-
mand California sugar. Then there would
be no need of half.million clubs except to
