DEL|CACIES OR DAMAGES,
Peculiar Suit of the Crew of
the Trading Schooner
Viking.
They Want the Price of Extras Which
Should Have Been on the
Bill Of Fare.

The crew of the schooner Viking, which
reached this port few days ago after
eight or nine weeks at sea, filed a novel
suit in the United States District Court
yesterday.
1t is suit to recover certain alleged me-
cessaries of life, in the shape of bread
meat, bmeiuice, peas, vinegar and sugar.
The crew, through the complaint filed by
Attorney IL. w. Hutton, claim that all of
these articles should have been furnished

OAKLAND, CAL, May lit is now

The mistake was not discovered until

John Glasscock, first base, and Bert
Inks, pitcher, of the st. Paul base ball
club, and j. B. LANES were in the
police court yesterday. on the warrant
which the G o b said had been is
sued the night before, charged with
using insulting remarks to Mrs. jose
phine Maxwell, on the evening of July
IA. Mrs. Maxwell who told her story
in a very determined manner said she
was passing the Arlington hotel on the
evening in question when the three de-
PENDANTS made remarks about her and
also two colored women who were
passing on bikes. E. S. Crawford and
James Pace, who live across the street
from the hotel corroborated the tes-
timony of Mrs. Maxwell as to the Ian
guage used about the women on the
bicycles, but did not hear the remarks
addressed to Mrs. Maxwell.
Glasscock, Inks and LANES denied
that there had been anything in the
way of remarks made about Mrs. Max
well or any one else. Their statements
We're corroborated by those of Mr. Will
lis proprietor of the cafe at the hotel,
and Clerk Florida. Mr.. LANES stated
to the court that the only disturbance
during the evening was when a Mrs.
Crawford came across the street and
threatened to hit him with a lamp.
Judge Orr stated that there was no
evidence to sustain the charge against
Glasscock or Inks and they would be
discharged. AS to LANES there was
some evidence to sustain the charge
but as the witnesses and the prisoner
all denied the statements and there
was a question of doubt he would dis
charge the defendant.

STATE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

SLAYER.
NO SYMPATHY WITH COIN
POWERS THINKS sILVER,s DOWN
FALL HAS NO BEARING ON
WHEAT.
DUNN HAS NOT YET ACCEPTED.
State Auditor May Not be an AL
ternate to the st. Louis Cons
ventfOn.

Labor Commissioner Powers was
among those who attended the big
silver demonstration in Minneapolis
Thursday night and that led to sus-
plc1on In some quarters that the silver
sentiment was undermining the Repub-
lcan gang at the state house, In view
of the fact that Auditor Dunn was
named as an alternate from the Sixth
district to the ST. Louis convention. 1t
has been no secret that Mr.. Dunn is a
silver man, although he has not as yet
so strongly espoused the cause as to
avowedly desert the Republican party,
especially as the possible legatee Of the
gubernatorial mantle of Gov. Clough
two years hence. The fact that Gov
Clough is not yet reelected, of course,
makes it possible that the legacy may
be nothing but an airy Pigment by that
time, and the state auditor is in a
Guandary as to whether or not he
shall acknowledge the honor conferred
on him by the Minneapolis conven-
ton.
Mr.. Powers, however, is fiat footed
in his disclaimer of any silver faint,
and 1t is likely that the position Of
the states statistical department on the
subject will be made known in an Off
cial manifesto within a few weeks. The
silverites find little favor in the statis-
teal department in it's present regime,
and the official reports have adminis-
tered several back handed slaps at the
silver men in connection with the
treatment of various economic ques-
tons investigated by the department.
The coming manifeston, however, will
be more elaborate than the others, so
far as it's application to the monetary
question is considered, and will take
issue with some of the premises laid
down by the orators of the silver party
Thursday and Thursday night.
For several months, as has already
been stated In the G O b e, the de-
partment has been at work upon statis-
tics designed to show the value Of
wheat and other staples in Minnesota
and elsewhere from 1864 down to date.
Labor Commissioner Powers stated
yesterday that while the statistics were
not fully compiled, he had not dis
covered anything to change his posi-
ton as to the free silver idea. The
statistics, he was confident would show
the causes which had acted to lower
the price of wheat, one Of the points
on which the silver-tongued Frank Nye
had dwelt SO earnestly in his Mime
apolis speech, as would account for the
decadence in crop values without
dragging. in the demonstration of sill
yer at ALL Some months ago the
bureau of statistics published some
figures showing the decrease of local
and foreign wheat values on "a gold
basis. The statistics about to be pub
Hshed will be complete, showing the
comparison Of local with values in
other parts of the world and with other
commodities which have fiuctuated dur
ing the same period Of years.

GET NOTHING FOR 1T.
But Men Must Serve ON City Juries
When Summoned

James Suydam and j. L. Strauch
were summoned to attend as Jurors in
the police court on Thursday. They
failed to respond to the order and yes
terday morning were summoned for
contempt Of court. Both explained
that it had slipped their mind but they
slipped out 81 to the clerk at the sug-
gestion Of Judge Orr for forgetting to
obey the call. George w. Swan also
appeared In answer to the same offense.
He stated that he was not properly
summoned and on this excuse was dis
charged.
Judge Orr in speaking of the matter
said there should be some provision
for the payment Of jurors In the NUM-
cipal court the same as in the district
court. The law, however, did not pro-
vide for the payment of jurors fees and
he could not see any way in which they
could be paid. Tt was suggested by
one of the county officials that each
man who was subpoenaed and served
on jury in the police court could
bring suit against the city and recover
the amount. Several business men who
have been compelled to put in a day
or half a day in the court as jurors
have made kicks to the court but to no
purpose.
