the Southern Pacific Company and the
engineers in its employ. Hereafter they
will be paid by mileage instead of by
day or by trip, as formerly. Under the
readjustment plan as proposed by the
railroad company the wages of the on

twenty per cent. Under the mileage svs-
tenn they will be reduced about t n per
cent.
At the public meeting held at Reno
Friday night Senator Summerfeld spoke
of the gallant fight of Washoe's Assem-

not foretell what the result would be.
He said that he believed that the Sem

barley will and eve poor ground will
give good results. The price that will

profitable than grain at present prices.

Some of them are larger than the lodge
which [ represent. Masonry has never
fourished anywhere else in the State as it
has in Los Angeles"
G. w. Orr represents Laurel Lodge No
245 of Willows, Glen County. ''There are
fifty members in Laurel Lodge" he said
''and they are all full of enthusiasm. Ma
sonry in that section is both popular and
prosperous. Our lodge is not an old one,
but it has been doing good work ever since
its inception, and we have no reason to be
ashamed of the showing we are now able
to make We are still going forward and
we feel that we have right to hope for
great things from Laurel Lodge in the
future"
g. L. True is another well-known Ma
son from the mining section. He repre-
sents one of the oldest lodges-Ophir No.
33-of Calaveras County, and he takes a
pardonable pride in the position which
Masonry occupies in that section. "Ophir
Lodge" he said, "has now between forty
and fifty members. 1t was organized
away back in the sos and has made a
steady growth ever since. 1t is in -four
ishing condition both fraternally and
financially"
Keystone Lodge No 161 of Milton, Gala
veras County, was represented by P. S.
Robertson, past master, and Horace Allen,
master. Mr.. Robertson was greatly i'm
pressed with the harmony maintained at
this convention. cit was certainly one of
the most prof BILE and pleasant affairs of
the kind | ever attended, and l have been
to number. From the looks of the grand
lodge room l would Judge it is the most
numerously attended.
''ln Milton, where my lodge is located,
there are not great many people and so
| there could not be a strong lodge numer-
! ically. Otherwise, however, it is very pros
perous and it has brilliant future before
| it. 1t is not new lodge, it was instituted
during the war, and during the years since
| then 1t has gained a very strong foothold
in the community"
| There was a jolly delegation of promi-
| nent Masons representing the various San
Francisco lodges. E. w. Connaut, master
of San Jose Lodge No. 10, was busily en-
gagged between ballots in the afternoon
greeting his numerous friends. He is
very enthusiastic about the status OF
Masonry in the Garden City. $"San Jose
| Lodge No. 10,' he said, ''has mem ber-
| ship of about 204 members, and we are
working all the time. San Jose is a good
| field for Masonry, and all the lodges there
are active and enthusiastic. The lodge
which | represent is in a particularly
| f1our;shing condition and has a first-class
| financial standing" A. B. Hamilton and
w. A. January, past masters, are also
present as representatives of San Jose
Lodge.
L. Gordon, Ralph Lowe and j. T. Covle
are also from San Jose. They represent
| Friendship Lodge No. 210. g This organi-
cation" said Mr.. Coyle, ''is in prosperous
condition. Its membership is 161 and is
constantly growing

ship CAPTAINS Retire.
Three Well-knoWn SkipperS
Have Returned to Private
Life.
IT MAY NOT BE PERMANENT
They We're All Popular With the
Travelling Public and First
Rate Seamen.

There has been general shake-up
among masters of STEAMERS along the wa
ter front, and some of the most prominent
shippers in port will retire into private life
for the time being at any rate. Two of
them are masters of the largest ocean
steamers sailing in and out OF San Fran
cisco and the other is the master of the
biggest tug on the Pacific Coast. In the
case of the latter his friends and the own
ers of the boat say it is a serious illness
that causes his temporary retirement. One
of the others retires of his own volition
and the other is going to take long yaca-
ton.
The three shippers are Captain Harry G.
Morse of the Oceanic Steamship Com
pany's Alameda, Captain William Ward oi
the Pacific Mail Company's steamer City
of Peking and Captain Dan Haskell of the
The San Francisco call., 1895-10-12
ALONG THE WATER FRONT,
The BeIgic Has Been FloateC
and Taken to YokoSito
for Repairs.
A Cargo Valued at Half a Million
Arrives on the Kotik From
the Arctic.

The efforts OF the men who were attempt
ing to float the Belgic have at last been
successful. The steamer went ashore on a
sandy beach near Yokohama over month
ago, and up to yesterday every attempt to
move her was failure. When the spring
tide came, the last and successful attempt
was made. The big liner has been towed
to Y Yokosito, where she will be docked for
temporary repairs. Thence she will
probably go to Hongkong and be perma-
nently fixed up. 1t will be at least six
months before she is back on her old run.
The Belgic is owned by the White Star
line, and leased to the Occidental and
Oriental Company.
The ship Dominion has been getting
ready to load lumbe for Australia, and as
there was a slight leak forward, diver
was sent down yesterday to examine her
forefoot. He found that the damage was
only slight, but the vessel may have to
dock for repairs. She brought a cargo of
coal here from Sydney.
The steamer City of Peking came off
Hunters Point drydock yesterday after
thorough overhaullng, and the big whale
back CITY of Everett went on the WAYS at
the Union Iron Works. Out of the water
the City Of Everett looks more like a
cylinder than anything else.
On the beginning OF its ninth year the
Coast SeaInen's Journal has this to say
about itself:
We have long since outlived the space allotted
to us by the prophets at our birth, but we feel
as young as ever. Time has bestowed upon us
thewisdom of age end the spirit OF youth in
inverse proportions. AS we grow older in
years and experience we grow younger in cour-
age and hope. The intelligent readers, sea-
men and landsmen, viii mark in the Journal
to-day the same lusty spirit and light-footed
ambition which distinguished its debut in the

big Spreckels tug Fearless. They are
three of the best known and best liked
commanders in San Francisco.
Captain Won Ottendorff, who has latterly
been stationed on the Zealandia up at
Martinez will succeed Captain Morse.
Captain G. G. Trask, who has been chief
officer of the City of Peking. will succeed
Captain Ward and Captain Glenn Randall is
temporarily in charge of the Fearless.
Whether these changes Will be permanent
or not time alone will tell
Captain Harry Morse is a general favor
lte with the travelling public. He has
been shipmaster for over twenty-five
years, and nearly all the time he has been
trading to this port. Years ago he was In
the employ of GOOdall, Perkins IL Co, and
commanded the ola steamer Dakota, then
running in the Puget Sound trade. Later
he took charge of the George w. Elder,
after she was launched from Roach ship
yard, and then about ten years ago he Wen:
over TO the Oceanic Steamship Company
and took command of the Alameda. With
the Australian travelling public he Is very
popular, and it was no unusual thing for
passengers to so arrange matters as to
make the round trip with Captain
Morse" He is tired OF the sea, however,
and few days ago sent in his resignation.
Captain w. Ward is the youngest COM
mander of an Ocean-going steamer on the
Pacific Coast. The officers OF the Mail
Company say he is only going away on a
vacation, but just how long the vacation
will last they decline to say. The gallant
skipper grew up in the service of the Paci-
tic Mail Company, and when the Peru was
launched from the Union Iron Works and
fitted out for sea he was placed in COM
mand. He remained on her until Captain
Seabury retired from the record breaker
China and then Captain Ward was pro-
NOTED. When Captain Searles retired
from the City of Peking Ward took his
place and Captain Seabury went back TO
his old position on the China.
Captain Dan Haskell is one of the ablest
and best known pilots on the coast. His
friends in shipping circles will be sorry to
hear that he is very sick man and that it
may be a considerable time before he is
back at his old post.
OF the new commanders Won Ottendorff
is the best known. He commanded the
Zealandia when she was one of the mail
boats running to Australia and remained
by her when she was laid up. Trask is
well known as first officer of the Peking
and Randall as master of the Vigilant
Other changes among shippers are: Cap
tain j. Silovich takes command of the
Vigilant, vice Randall, and j. T. Trowren
of the Reliance, vice Silovich.

HOME FOR INBBRIATES.
The Supervisors Decline to Accept 1t as
Gift.

The Supervisors Decline to Accept 1t as
q Gift.
The Finance Committee of the Board of
Supervisors has recommended that the
tender of the Home of the Inebriates in
trust to the City and County be declined
with regrets. The real obstacle in the way
Of acceptance is the fact that the City has
a lot for just such a purpose, and the first
steps to erect a building on it have been
taken. This practically settles a matter
that has caused a great deal OF feeling in
certain quarters.
The considerations on all sides of the
matter were carefully weighed at the meet.
ing of the Finance Comm ittee yesterday
and embodied in the foil owing report OF
the board:
This deed OF trust, your committee is reluc-
family compelled TO state, cannot be accepted
by the City and County, the Legislature at its
last session having made it the duty of the
board TO provide funds for the erection of a
building.
The sum of $35, 900 has been set aside in
the next tax levy for that purpose. The
erection of the new home will practically
abolish the old home on Chestnut and
Stockton streets as a semi-public in
stitution. During the last few years most
OF its public business has been switched
into other channels. The patients de-
tanned for examination by the Insanity
Commissioners are now kept in the City

California, in 1868, locating in Nevada
City. His name is known in connection
with the Preston Reform School at lone,
he having introduced the bill while a
member of the Legislature that established

To-Day's "News LETTER"

The edition of the News Letter to-day shows
more conclusively than ever that San Fran
cisco can handsomely support fearless, clean
and Independent weekly journal. Its edi-
torials are by our foremost public writers, and
as for society news it is acknowledged in our
best circles that the news published in these
columns is from within and not from without
the "pale" for which reason the greater
credence is given the News Letter over its con-
temporarieS. Among to-day's topics are:
"The Vanderbilt Marlborough Scandal"
"Are We on the Eve OF Mining Boom?"
"Durrant's Manifestations of Moral Mon
strosity."
GLOW to Stop Lynching."

maritime arena. Eight years ago the world
laughed good-naturedly at the STRIPPING, uu-
armed, except with just cause, and unframed,
except by native intelligence, who tackled the
antique giant of maritime law and usage.
Then the Journal laughed, too, and with never
fear of the joke-and it is laughing yet, with
clearer but no whit less appreciative sense OF
the humorous.
We begin another year with the same course
mapped out and the same goal ahead. We
have no rowing commission to seek prizes in

The Journal has grown in influence dur
ing the past nine years until now it is the
most powerful labor organ on the coast.
The Russian steamer Kotik arrived from
Petropaulovski yesterday after fair run
OF thirty e days. She brought one of
the most valuable cargos that has come to
San Francisco this year. 1t consisted of
II ,920 sealSkins, 227 sea-otter skins, 13 land
otter skins, 16 sable and II fox skins. AL
together the consignment is worth in the
neighborhood of half million dollars.
Among the passengers who came down
On the kotik were the agent of the Russian
Fur Company and his wife. Mr.. Malovan-
sky has brought down with him two fine
full-grown cinnamon bears, which he in
tends presenting to the Park Commission
ers. The big brutes are as tame as kittens.
The agent says the seal-poachers reaped
a harvest around Copper Island, as the
Russian and British cruisers were away
nearly all the time In Eastern waters.
When the Kotik sailed the British cruiser
Porpoise and the Russian cruiser Yakut
were at Petropaulovski.
The manager of the Crystal baths has
registered protest with the Harbor Com
missioners. The pipes that carry the salt
water to his sanitarium are strung along
under Powell-street wharf. He accord
ingly does not want that structure cut in
two because it will put him to great ex-
pense to again reach deep water.

The Curtis Divorce Suit.

Henry G. Curtis, customs inspector, is de-
fendant in divorce suit instituted by Mrs.
Emma Curtis on the ground of deserton. Mrs.
Curtis declares that she and her husband were
married twenty years ago and that while she
was away for her health in 1884 Mr.. Curtis Sc
cretly obtained divorce in Sutter County. That
divorce was set aside on the proof of fraud, but
the husband again deserted last year. Mrs.
Curtis alleges that her husband has transferred
$4,000 worth of property to prevent her from
obtaining alimony.
