The Italian Warship Cristoforo
Colombo Expected Next

A KINGS NEPHEW ABOARD.
Sealing Schooners That Left Early
Have All Done Fairly Well
So Far.

The italian warship Christoforo Colon
bo, which has been making tour of the
world with the nephew of King Humbert
on board, is expected in San Francisco
about February l. The italian COLONY is
already making preparations to entertain
the officers and men and a CAV time is
expected.
dispatch to pItalia of this CITY from
Victoria, B. C., states that the cruiser ar
rived there yesterday morning from Homo
lulu, having on board as an active officer
the Duke of Abruzzi, a nephew of King
Humbert. The vessel is to leave for Es-
quimalt to-day, where a reception will be
rendered the Duke and officers of the
cruiser on Sunday afternoon by Lieutenant
Governor Dewdney, Admiral Stephenson
of the British North Pacific squadron and
the citizens OF Victoria and Vancouver.
The officers of the Colombo are 4: Captain
Bertolino, Executive Officer Presbitero.
Lieutenants Gogin, Rombo, Resio, Frigero
and the Duke of ApruZzi. Her full com.
piement Is $50 men, including officers.
The Colombo will remain in Esquimalt
until the 26th inst, when she will leave
for San Francisco where she will proba-
bly, remain one month.
operating along the coast seem to have
done well. Captain White OF the Ep-
pinger came down from brakes Bay yes
terday, and reports catch of 327 seals.
The Alton had 100 skins and the Kate and
Anna 55. According to Captain White the
prospects seemed good, and the three YES
sells expected to make big catches. The
Kate and Anna only remained long
enough in port to take on board her three
hunters, who were lost III fog and finally
reached brakes Bay
According to Captain White the three
men had very hard time of it. They lost
the Kate and Anna on the 5th inst, and
the next day were picked up by coasting
schooner. After getting some provisions
they started out again to find their vessel.
and, failing, were picked up by the steamer
Point Arena. When off Bowens Landing
they decided to tempt their fate again

pected to find the Kate and Anna After
being out in the open boat day and a
night in the bitter cold of the first part OF
the week, they were picked up by the fish
ing steamer U. S. Grant and taken to their
destination.
When found by the Grant they were ex-
hausted and almost frozen. There was
plenty of provisions, but the cold took all
life out Of the men. At brakes Bay there

was no sign of the Kate and Anna and the
men had to wait week before she put in
an appearance. They were taken care of
by the farmers in the vicinity, and after
their week of hardships grew fat on eggs,
butter and milk.
The steam schooner Point Arena will
make special trip to Point Arena to-day,
returning Sunday. During the storms
that have prevailed the steamer has been
unable to land at Point Arena and in con-
sequence all the supplies are stored in San
francisco while the produce remains at
the other end. This state of affairs was
presented to G. D. Ford, the managing
owner of the vessel, and he at once agreed
to help out. The Point Arena will leave
again on her schedule time, so no one will
suffer except the vessels owners, as the
extra trip will be dead loss. The COM
mission merchants and the wholesale men
are very much pleased over the way Cap
tain Ford met their advance and it is safe
to say the vessels revenue will not suffer
in the long run by the extra trip.
Charley Fair, the yonng millionaire, has
finally decided to accept the gasoline
yacht Lucero. George A. Knight, the
attorney, acting for him, has thoroughly
tested the craft and is quite satisfied that
she is seaworthy and meets all the specifca-
tions called for. Mr.. and Mrs Fair will
be back in San Francisco in a few months.

party of friends win make pleasure trip

Mayor Sutro made an Intellectual effort
yesterday to call the Election Commission,
which, by recent decision of the Supreme

Tax Collector, City and County Attorney
and City Surveyor, together yesterday, but
a quorum could not be obtained and the

Under the new primary law the names

Phillips has cause for anger, and his in
quiry yesterday was:
DO you think he wants to go a-gun-

While he processes sorrow at what oc-
CURED, 1t is evident that Terry is anxious
to know whether he should "heel'' him
self for further warfare.
Mr.. Terry is the nephew of the late
David Terry. who killed Senator Broderick
during pioneer days and who subsequently
was killed by United States Deputy Mar
sinai David Neage. He is regarded by those
who know him as a good-natured bohe-
mian, whose merry laugh turns suddenly
to hiss when he imagines himself the
butt of ar insult.
AS the latter affair was nearing its end
and the wounded were being treated either
at the Receiving Hospital or at their
home, the warm blood wave shifted away
few blocks to the northwest corner of
Post street and Grant avenue.
1t was in the basement saloon of Albert
Armand, a Frenchman who claims that in
the past twenty-five years he has been in
business he has never had to blow police
whistle.
Whether he means by this statement
that he has heretofore been able to take
care OF obstre porous customers without for
eign aid is not easy to understand, as this
affair has worked him up to high pitch of
excitement.
Mr.. Arnaud was not in his esta blish-

keeper, who was shot in the groin, and the
stranger, who had his leg penetrated Dy a
bullet for attempting to stop the impend-
ing trouble, are both lying very quietly at
the French Hospital, where they are pro-

Novel Way of Compelling Wife to
Remain in the House.
Mrs. Celia Gilligan of lila Treat avenue
told startling story to General McCom
of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children yesterday.
According to Mrs Gilligan's statement,
she has been living apart from her hus-
band, John T. GilGgan, for the last few
months, on account Of his inability to
support her. During this time she has
lived at her mothers home on Treat
avenue, and has supported her two small
children by working in an electric
laundry.
Thursday evening, Mrs. Gilligan states,
her husband came home, and after obtain
ing some money from her. ordered her not
TO go out with her mother, as she was
about to do. On Iher refusal ::to comply
with this demand, he accused her of in
tending to meet some one else, and becom-
ing very violent drew out knife and
slashed and hacked her dress to strips on
her person.

plains that Joseph Herbieu, the barkeeper
was attending to his regular duties. when q
man, who was subsequently learned to be
G. 2. Newcombe, dropped in and was
served with drink. In the saloon at the
time were number of customers, among
whom was Officer McBay.
The latter and Newcombe engaged in an
argument as to the respective merits OF
the English and United States navies, Mr..
MeBay eXalting the British forces to the
evident dislike of Newcombe
The lie was passed; Newcombe received
a punch IN the face, and recovering, he
pulled out a pistol and fired almost point
blank at the officer. The latter, VINO is a
stout man and whose face looks stouter
still on account of bushy red whiskers,
suffered no further harm than the SINCE
ing OF his facial adornment. But the bullet
sped on and punctured one of the forty
gallon casks of brandy lined up on the
east end OF the saloon
This was more than the barkeeper could
stand. he jumped out from behind the
counter with bungstarter in his hand.
whether or not it was his intention to
plug up the hole made by Newcombe s
bullet or to infict punishment on the
shooter is not easy to ascertain.
Newcombe evidently was in doubt and
ne turned his weapon on the bar
keeper, shooting him in the groin. In an
other moment Albert Calm, one of the
other visitors in the place, started for
Newcombe, who being excited, shot him
in the leg.
There were no other aggressive people
in the place by that time and Newcombe
had two more full cartridges in his revol-
yer. These lie used in perforating another
cask or two. allowing Mr.. Arnaud's good
grape juice to flow freely.
The shooting naturally attracted vast
concourse of the habitues of the tender
loin. Women, men and tramps soon put
in an appearance, and while the former
reveled in all the sanguinary details
of the shooting the genus hobo allowed
but little OF the leaking brandy to go to
waste.

Eugene Pardini was sentenced to ten
years imprisonment by Judge Wallace
yesterday for a felonious assault upon a
little girl named Minnie Eagan.

that sentence. He showed unqualified
pleasure when he was given ten years, and
