No Tidings of Count Festetics'
Yacht for Six Long
Months.
FRIENDS BECOMING ALARMED.
The Crew May Have Mutinisd OF
the Vessel May Have Been
Caught by Cannibals.

Many of the friends of Count and Count
ess Festetics are beginning to feel alarmed
because no tidings of the yacht ToIna
October the little schooner left Sydney,
N. s. W., and the Count and Countess sent
word to friends in this City to forward all
mail to Japan. They stated that it was
their intention to sail there as rapidly as
they could, and then proceed on their voy-
age around the world.
Mail and merchandise from this City
reached Japan all right, but evidently the
Tolna did not, and from all reports the
packages are still waiting claimants.
Whether they will ever come or not is now
beginning to look doubtful.
From all that can be learned nothing
has been seen nor heard OF the Tolna since
she left Sydney. Several seamen who have
lately been in that part of the globe over
which the vessel would have to pass had
not heard thing about her. At the dif-
ferent headquarters where seamen meet
and talk over things nobody can be found
who has hea I'd anything about the miss
sing vessel.
A number of seamen are of the opinion
that the Tolna is not so very long overdue
considering the fact that she is slow YES
sci and in charge of man who is not q
practical navigator. Several old salts who
know every shoal and current in the
Pacific express the opinion that the vessel
will not be heard from for year yet. They
say that unless man thoroughly under
stands the trade winds he is likely to get
among some of the islands and stay there
becalmed. for months. Such things have
happened before and may happen again.
Captain Festetics is said to be good
navigator, but he knows very little about
handling sailing vessel and still less
about handling crew. Nor does he know
anything about the islands he would be
inhabited by people who are not far from
savages and captain who knows his busi-
ness would not go near them. There are
many other dangers to be calculated on
besides the dangers Of the sea.
Ever since the Tolna has been in ch arge
of Count Festetics she has been in trouble
of some kind. She was attached for many
bills before she left this port over two
years ago, and numbers of the crew de-
serted because they were not being p1op-
erly fed. When she did get away she was
poorly manned, although the sailing
master was man who knew his business.
1t took her nearly two months TO reach
Honolulu and then all her good men left
and crew of natives were shipped. The
Count assuming full command.
There was trouble between captain and
crew most OF the time, and at Sydney it
was almost impossible to obtain a crew of
even the poorest men.
Captain Festetics is said to be very over
bearing toward the crew, and it is not with
out the realms of possibility that a mutiny
broke out in some deserted part of the
ocean and the end of the cruise will neyar
| be told. Old seamen are inclined to be.
lieve that this Is the cause of the DELAY OF
| the Tolna, rather than any peril of navi-

the workhorse, and led his colleagues in
many features of the great conflict. His
last forensic appearance was as counsel
for Father Nugent in the Gallagher suit
over an estate. and his last effort in poll
tics was made before the Democratic State

He was strong Democrat, and has been a

The Distinguished Attorney
Passes Away Suddenly at
His Home.

He Had Been Suffering From Dropsy
but the End Came When Least
Expected.

George R. B. Hayes died yesterday
morning at his residence, 251S Pacific
avenue. Although he had been ailing for
some months past, his death was wholly
unexpected and came with scarcely a
premonition.
Mr.. Hayes suffered for long time from
dropsical affection. Recently Drs. Win
dell and Luke Robinson operated upon
him and he seemed relieved, even when
the physicians saw his case was hopeless
one. His condition remained the same,
fuctuating from day to day. Saturday he
complained of feeling unwcll and stayed
at home, but yesterday morning he was
better, and made preparations TO attend
services in st. Mary's Cathedral. While
dressing he lapsed into unconsciousness,
and in brief time he was dead. The
immediate cause of death was pressure
upon the heart caused by dropsy:

EASTER AMONG GREEKS,
They Celebrate Their Holiday With

It Is only about twice in a decade that
the Greek Easter comes on tho same day
as that of the Catholics, and yesterday
when this event occurred the Hellenis
Mutual Benevolent Society made it a point
to celebrate the event with all the ancient
pomp and modern side issues they could
throw in.
The religious ceremonies of the usual
order took place, beginning early in the
evening of Saturday at the Greek church
on Powell street. near Filbert. They
closed after midnight, and under ordinary
circumstances the entire congregation
would have celebrated the advent of Easter
by trip into the green fields and by pelt-
ing each other with eggs, colored and
otherwise, but emptied OF their meat so as
not to be hurtful.
The weather, however, stood in the way
of the outing and it was decided to gather

The Easter decora tons OF the First Con-

All Yak and his cousin All On were
neatly surprised by Policemen g. w.
Meyers and P. A. Peshon of the China
town squad yesterday afternoon at their
lottery headquarters, 747H Sacramento
street.
The pair of willy Mongolians had before
them about 1000 lottery tickets. which they
were busily engaged in stamping before
being issued for sale for the afternoons
drawing, when Officer Meyers, having pre-
viously located the secret spring to the
patent lock, opened the door leading into
the room where the pair of law-b1eakers
were at work. The haul made by the in
truding officers spoiled the Mongolians'
anticipations, inasmnch as the tickets had
all been marked at the selling price of 81 25
each. On the outside, hid in convenient
doorways,, were about fifty white lottery
agents, who were waiting to fill orders
with the tickets, where delivered. In
this, however. they were doomed to dis
appointment, as the tickets, together with
the Cinnamon, were safely locked up in
the Califofnia-street police station.
