The schooner A. J. Perkins

by the steam tug Seminole.
As stated yesterday in the
Caller, the Perkins, had been
seen off Corpus pass, and was
making her way to Arkansas
pass under a jury mast. When

life saving crew sighted the
vessel and seeing both masts
gone, knew she was in distress.
The tug Molyneaux went TO her

storm increased every minute;

had her jib carried away. Thus
deprived of one of her principal

San Antonio Express.
The political pot'in the Elev-
enth Congressional district is
boiling and the great political
question from one end of the
district to the other is "VVill il
be Grain or Wells 2"
Parties posted in the politi
cal affairs of the district say
that the relations between the
two men is such that if Grain
wants another nomination foI
congress Wells will not op.
pose him. Grains conduct is
said to have developed a strong
opposition to his denomination
and efforts, it is claimed, will
be made to get Mr.. Grain to
withdraw and leave the field to
Mr.. Wells who is willing to
run, but, so friends claim, will
not go into the convention in
opposition to the present Con.
gresham. A gentleman from
Dewitt county who refused to
let his name be used, stated to
a reporter for the Express yes

between Grain and Wells, De.

and successful career, and he

of being one of the most bril-

G.. c.. Pierce, who has been
mentioned as the possible Re
publican nominee for Congress
from the Eleventh Congression-
al District, is a prominent at
torney of Laredo. He came in
to prominence during the last
congressional campaign by his
hard fight for Weldon. 1t seems
that a Webb county official
was connected with an unfor-
tunate kidnapping affair, which
was brought into politics and
used strongly TO influence the
MeXlcans against the regular
Democratic nominees in Webb
county. Weldon ran as an in-
dependent candidate against
Grain and received the support
of the Republicans. Pierce led
the Weldon factions. The pre-
JUDGE against the county of
ficers growing out of the kid
mapping affair was carried into
the congressional race, and it
was only with the hardest kind
of work that Pierce and his
faction were defeated. 1t is
said that a Weldon campaign
fund of $4,000 was turned loose
in Laredo at the time.

WAS NO CONFUSION,
INVESTIGATING THE SAN RAFAEL
TIBURON COLLISION ON
THE BAY.
THE CAPTAINS OF BOTH VESSELS
ON THE STAND-To BE RE-
SUMED To-Day.

Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers Phillips
and Talbot began an investigation Mon
day into the collision between the ferry
steamers Tiburon and San Rafael, which
occurred about three weeks ago.
Captain White of the Tiburon and Cap
tain Mckenzie OF the San Rafael, with
several members of the crew of each vessel,
were on hand to testify in the matter, and
the evidence of the commanding officers
was taken.
From their statements it appears that
the Tiburon was heading for the place
after which she is named, while the San
Rafael was on her way to San Francisco
| from Sausalito.
A dense fog hung over the bay and OBJ
scured from view everything outside ra-
dius of few hundred yards. Both vessels
were proceeding cautiously in the neigh
| borhood of Alcatraz, keeping their whis-
ties blowing and men on the lookout on
| forward decks. Each captain heard the
whistle of the other boat and responded as
the signals directed, but the fog made
their locations uncertain, and it was not
| until the vessels were close together that
the shippers became aware that danger
threatened. Both used every effort to
avoid a collision, gave the signals to re:
verse the engines, and took other precau-
tons necessary in the case.
The vessels were moving rapidly, how
ever and their sides touched before their
Roadway had been sufficiently checked to
keep them apart. Fortunately no damage
beyond the rubbing off of few yards OF
paint from each vessel resulted, and both
| steamers proceeded on their way.
The presumption is that confusion of
signals arose through some other vessel
blowing her siren. and that the collision
that narrowly escaped being disaster
came about in that way. There was no
confusion on either boat. More testimony
will be heard this afternoon, when mem
bers of the crews of both steamers will be
placed on the stand

81 1000 Persons in San Francisco
Do Away With the Physicians
and Cure Themselves With
Munyon's Little Pellets.

Eyes" said Munyon's representative,
''the day has gone by when large doses of
nauseating and poisonous drugs can be
forced down peoples threats. Here in San
Francisco 81, 900 persons have been taught
during the past three weeks that diseases
can be cured without the use of such
powerful medicines. 1t has been proved to
them without a question of doubt, not by
newspaper advertising, but by actual ex-
perlence, that the services OF a doctor are
not needed in two-thirds of the cases
where formerly they ran after one. Hun
dreds of dollars have been saved in this
way by the afflicted furthermore, it has
been discovered that these little pellets
leave no bad results. When the ailment is
cured the patient is ready to attend to his
or her business, whatever it is, whereas
heretofore five or six days have been re-
quired to recover from the facilitating
effects of strong drugs. Is it any wonder
that thousands bless the day when they
first heard of Munyon? 1t is conceded by
all that if he should never spend another
dollar in advertising the sale of his RENE
dies would increase every day, as thou
sands know their value, and, having been
cured, will never cease singing the praise
to every sufferer they meet To those who
persist in thinking that there is no virtue
in medicine unless it tastes bad we have
this to say: Call at our Office or on any
prominent druggist and listen to the
stories you will hear at most any hour of
the day. How these little sugar pellets
have made new men and women of the
people that use them, and no more doubt
will enter your mind as to the success of
this new school of medicine"

the crew reached the pilot-house they
found the captain in the throes of death,
with one hand grasping the spokes of the
wheel in order to keep the steamer on her
course,
He was removed to a room on the lower
deck and the engines were exerted to their
utmost. 1t was a race against death, how
ever, and the latter came out the winner.
Before the dock was reached Captain
Mclaughlin was dead.
