ALONG THE WATER FRONT,
A Schooner for Missionary Work
in japanese Waters
Completed.
Calkers Are Very Scarce and Repairs
on Ships Are Thus Being
Delayed.

The Pacific Mail Companv's steamer
City of Panama arrived from Panama and
way ports Yesterday. There were the fol-
lowing cabin passengers: Mrs. H. D.
Grant, Charles E. Mordaunt, Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Martin, Juan Cattanco, George V.
Gray, Mrs. M. A. Everitt, H. G.. BagIey
and Mrs. DR.. L.. Cool. Mrs. H D. Grant is
the wife OF one of the officers stationed at
the Preside. Charles E. Mordaunt is
well-known capitalist in San Jose and the
others are mostly from Central America
The Panama also brought % steerage
passengers and small cargo. Among the
latter were 1914 cases of lines, which will
which has been almost bare of the COM
modify. The principal other items were
81 sacks of specie, valued at $43, 3O6 81, and
855 sacks of silver ore.
The missionaries in Japan are to have a
craft in which they can go from island to
island in their endeavor to spread the Cos
pei. 1t has just been completed by George
w. Kneass and is named the Robert w.
Logan. The new boat is a schooner yacht
and looks as though she would be good
sea boat and fast. She is 60 feet long and
has 12-foot beam. Her cabins will be
tastefully furnished, and there will be a
bathroom. The quarters for the crew will
be comfortable and commodious. The
new missionary boat is being fitted out at
Main-street wharf. and the chances are
that she will have her trial trip in about a
week. She will then take a load of goods
suitable for trade and will sail for Yoko-
hama.
Instead of being tied up in Oakland Creek
for the winter the steamer Jeanne will be
put in the Central American trade.
Hitherto she has been used principally as
tender to the whalers in the Arctic. but
as the catchIhas been failure for the past
two years the owners of the steamer are
going to turn her to some practical use
curing the winter months. She will dock
at Spear-street wharf to-day, and will i'm
mediately begin loading for Guatemala.
Part OF the deckload will be the little
steamer FL Querzal. The latter is to take
the place OF the steam launch lost in the
wreck OF the steamer Bawnmore.
Calkers are very scarce along the water
front, and enough men cannot be secured
to get the vessels out in time. The British
ship earned Llewelly lying at Union
street wharf, has full force of men at
work, but other vessels cannot GET them
for love or money.
The steamer Rival went on to the drv-
dock, Yesterday to be recalked, but men
could not be, secured. Finally, about 2

and went to work The whalers Cane

next four years also, whichever of the two
old parties wins.
"The best thing for the silver men to do
is to get together at Chicago and outline
plan of organization for a completely
separate and independent party. The
people have been pretty well educated and
they now know quite we'll what free and
unlimited coinage of silver means TO their
business interests. In my opinion dis
tinctively silver party could win"
Secretary Keeney says the silver men OF
this State are rather encouraged than
otherwise by the outcome of the elections,
and that they believe the elections have
served the purpose of an object lesson to
abandoning their old parties entirely and
coming out distinctively on the silver ques-
ton.
So far the work of the American Bimetal-
lie League has been more on the line of
education than anything else, and this,
Mr.. Keeney says, will be kept up. A
bureau of silver literature is to be started
at once in the leagues headquarters in
the Mills building and funds are now be-
ing gathered for that purpose. But after
the Chicago conference of next month, he
explained, the real work of organization
will begin. Then there is to be general
plan of county precipitation carried out in
every State, preliminary to the State and
National conventions of next year.
The Populists are gradually organizing
clubs. Messrs. Gator, Gillespie and
Chairman Barney of the county committee
remarked yesterday that good start had
been made in nearly every district in this
CitV.

JONES ON THE ELECTIONS,
The Silver Senator Believes
They Have Been an OBJ
ject Lesson.
He Is Anxious for the Chicago Con.
ference, and Wants a Party of
BimetalliStS.

Omitted States Senator John P. Jones is
strongly of opinion that there will be a
separate silver party in the campaign of
next year. The formation of such party
IS to grow out of the coming silver confer
ence at Chicago, he thinks.
This Chicago conference is to take place
some time near the Christmas holidays, in
the hope that it may have some effect on
Congress. A call is now being prepared
by the executive committee which grew
out of the Memphis conference of last
summer. This committee consists of Con-
gresham J. H. Acklen of Tennessee, NJ.
w. Rusk of Colorado and Joseph Batallal
OF Vermont, and the American Bimetallic
League of which General A. J. Warner is
chairman, with headquarters at Washing
ton, D. c., and the National Bimetallic
Union of Salt Lake City, R. C. Chambers
chairman, are working in conjunction
with 1t, says Secretary George ?. Keeney
of the local branch OF the American
League.
Mr.. keeney has lad frequent conferences
with Senator Jones at the Palace Hotel
since he has been here, and yesterday he
stated that Mr.. Jones, since the result of
the elections in the East has become
known, is particularly anxious for the con-
ference to be held. According to Mr..
Keeney, Senator Jones expressed himself
as follows on the outcome of the elections
II think that the elections just held have
demonstrated beyond the possibility of
any doubt whatever that the issue in the
campaign of 1896 will be fatty between the
champio of gold and silver; that finance
and not tariff is to be the only question,
and that it can no longer be settled within
party lines.
The gold and silver men knitted each
other in these elections regardless of party.
1t is an object lesson to silver men all over
the Nation. If the battle between metals
be not forced now on straight issue and
along unmistakable lines the gold brokers
OF London and New York will dominate
the Government of the country for the

A WIDOWS MONEY.
Gifts to Church Cause Serious Trouble
Between the Heirs and Father
Nupent.

The wrangle over the estate of Ellen
Gallagher came up before Judge Hunt
yesterday. The case was to be set but
even at this early stage the fight was on.
The complainant wanted the case set as
soon as possible, but the defense wished it
put off, and on that point they wrangled
the more.
The estate of Ellen Gallagher is mostly
in the hands of Father Denis Nugent, to
whom the greater part of it was left for the
purpose of building church. The church
is now under process of construction.
The heirs of Mrs. Gallagher through the
administrator OF the estate, P. J. White
sued to have returned to the estate the
proceeds of certain sale made just before
the testator's death, and which they claim
were turned over to Father Nugent because
of his influence over her. Their counsel
objected to the continuance of the case,
because the church now under course of
construction will eat up much of the
money they wish returned to them, and to
prevent this as far as possible they wanted
the case set at an early date.
The court was disposed to let it tax it's

OF INTEREST TO LABOR.
A Convention of the Labor Federation
to Be Held in New


At the meeting of the Labor Council last
evening the Sailors Union reported that a
new shipping Office had been organized on
the water front with the ostensible inten-
ton of fighting the ship-owners. 1t was
thought, however, that the ship-owners
themselves were behind the movement.
1t was also reported that the furniture
workers had induced a non-union cigar
dealer on Folsom street to sell only union
brands.
The Cigar-makers' Union reported that
the number of its unemployed was in
creasing.
In the Electrical Workers Union every
thing was very favorable.
The motion was carried that the resigna-
ton of G. e. Maston, chairman of the or
ganlzing committee, be accepted, and
Thomas Moore was appointed in his place.
The call for the convention of the Fed
Grafton of Labor was read. The conven-
ton Will be held at Madison-square Gar
den, New York. December 9. The ques-
ton of sending delegate from this coun-
Gil was discussed and finally placed upon
the table for further consideration.

and then Mr.. Baggett, counsel for White,
suggested that Mr.. Hayes, counsel for
Father Nugent and Archbishop Riordan,
who is made party to the suit, turn over
to the court the amount of the funds in
dispute which now remain, or if that were
too much to announce the sum. Mr..
Hayes refused to do either, and the court
refused to compel him, so the case was set
for January Ia without further trouble.
The amount involved is about $50 900, and
this sum Mr.. Hayes announced to the
opposing counsel after they went out and
as long as he was not compelled to do so.

TWO ILLEGAL LEGACIES.

Judge Coffey Knocks Out Some of Mrs.
Kennedy's requests.
Judge Coffey has decided that the Iega-
cies left by Emele Marie Kennedy to her
mother, Mrs. Chaigneau, and her sister,
Louise Chaigneau, are invalid. The tes-
tatrix left legacy of $4,000 to her mother
and $4,000 to her sister, both to be paid out
of the income OF certain property. As the
property yields only $26 month and the
interest on the legacies amounts to nearly
$40 month, the court held that they were
impossible of payment and SO declared
them invalid.

The system is working very smoothly. All
the reliable contractors of the City have
agreed to it, although few small con-

in obtaining workmen.
The union now controls between 100
