"The Apparel Oft Procla1ns the Man."

men were taken off and landed safely on
the Lathom. The men on the Gowanbank
then launched their damaged lifeboat and
five of them reached our vessel in it. We
then made another trip and saved the
remainder.
"We were only just in time. A few
minutes after the boats were hoisted in it
began to blow whole gale. 1t was ac-
companied by binding hailstorms and
high seas and gradually increased to a
hurricane. On April 80 one of the Cow
anbank's s crew died and was buried at sea-"
After rounding the Horn the Lathom
encountered heavy gales and hurricanes
from the westward, accompanied by blind
ing snow and hail. Every body on board
suffered and some of the men were FROST
bitten. On June IL Valparaiso was reached
and the men from the Gowanbank were
landed. Captain Campbell is well known
here and is one of the most popular
masters that come to San Francisco. He
was here a couple of years ago in the
Sieve Donard, but went back to England
to superintend the building of the Lathom.
The Undaunted is well known in this
port, and Captain Lewis is an old-timer.
When last here the Undaunted was ship
rigged, but when she struck on the bar and
almost became a wreck she was changed
into bark. She was sold at that time,
and is now owned on the Pacific Coast
In speaking about his voyage Captain
Lewis said:
"From April9 to May % we had nothing
but a succession of heavy westerly gales.
We could show nothing but our lower
malntopsails, and the vessel was driven
back all the time. On one occasion the
barometer fell to 27 20. and hurricane
came up that lasted twenty-eight hours.
We were hove to under goose-wing main
topsail, and tremendous seas swept US
from stem to stern. Early one morning
big sea broke aboard and washed away
forty feet of the bulwarks and everything
movable on deck. The forward house
was flooded and other damage was done.
I'VE sighted ship four points on our
port bow. We passed an eighth of q mile
to windward of her, but owing to the
spray blowing, I could not see her hull
very plain. Her sails were all blown
away and we could see the fragments
flying on the yards. Her mizzen yards
were over aback, and apparently she was
making very bad weather
1--WE sprung our lower main topsail yard
in the gale and had to jsh il. On the
23d of May. in latitude 56:40 north, longi-
tude 1850 west, took the wind from
N. NV, which took us to 80:40 west,
thence to the equator fine weather, which
was crossed on the 7th of July in longi-
tude liz west, 1873 days from equator in
Atlantic 7 must saw that we had the
hardest time from 30 to 80 that I ever
saw or heard of, taking fifty-eight days to
make the distance. The old ship stood
it well and looks none the worse for her
drubbing off the Horn, and is still as able
to round the stormy corner as some of the
newer clippers. She kept tight through it
all and is open for inspection. From the
equator to port we had the usual summer
weather. We were 1876 days making the
run, and I'm tired out"

Perilous Rescue of the Crew of
the Ship Gowanbank by
the Lathom.
OIL ON THE TROUBLED WATERS.
With Its Aid the Boats Were Lowered
and the Men Were Taken Off
the Sinking Ship

Two more vessels of the overdue fleei
reached port yesterday. They were the
British ship Lathom. IT'S days from
Swansea, and the American bark Un-
daunted, 1876 days from Baltimore. Both
vessels had terrible experiences off the
Horn, the Undaunted being So days in
getting round. Reinsurance was paid on
both vessels.
Beside succession of heavy gales the
Lathom was the means of saving the
crew of the dismantled British ship Cow
anbank. Captain Campbell thus describes
the disaster:
"At IA. NJ. April %, while fresh gale
was blowing from the west, with falling
barometer, ship reaching to south south
west on port tack under reefed topsaiIs
and reefed foresails. we sighted a large
dismantled ship on starboard bow. She
proved to be the Gowan bank and was flying
signals for us to send iifeboats. at once
reduced sail to lower topsails and had oil
poured over the side. That prevented
the waves from breaking and we sue
ceeded in lowering the port lifeboat. The
chief officer and six men went in it and
took supply of oil with them.
"When the lifeboat got near the Cow
anbank the oil in the lockers was poured
gently over the side and again the waves
stopped breaking and the men were able
to get near the dismantled ship. Nine

PEACE UNDER PROTEST.
cieysfand Strikers and Non Union Men
Are Armed and Conflict Is
Inevitable.

CLEVELAND. OHIO. Aug. 4.-There has
been no actual outbreak yet, but every
thing gives promise that fight may occur
at any moment. What makes the condi
ton of affairs more serious is that many
of the strikers are armed and ready fo1
trouble whenever it comes.
ready-for- feeling per.
vaded the air in the neighborhood of the
Brown Hosting Works this morning.
There was peace, but it was peace under
protest, and peace that might be broken
at any time. A single overt act might
lead to bloody consequences.
At the time for beginning work $50 men
entered the works and proceeded to the
various shops. They were, of course, all
non-union men, and were strongly guard
ed to prevent intimidation. The strikers,
however, did not attempt to modest them,
contenting themselves with groans and
catcalls.
Every street within radius of nearly a
mile is kept patrolled by the militia. The
locked-out men gathered in the streets in
the vicinity of the works were kept NOV
ing by the police and soldiers. Many of
the latter were armed both with rifle and
revolver. Quite large proportion of the
strikers also carried guns, and from the
threatening looks on their faces when or
dered to move on it seemed as if they
were longing for chance to use their
weapons.

Each Receives Thirty.Five Votes
on Seven Successive
Ballots.
ADJOURNMENT UNTIL TODAY.
Attempts Made to FalSify Returns
While the Rolls Are Be.
ing Called.

VENTURA, CAL, Aug. 4.-The Sixth
Congressional District Democratic Con-
vention met in this city to-day. After
ballotine seven times in vain attempt to
name Congressional nominee the con-
vention adjourned until tomorrow. L.
J. Rose and George s. Patton showed
equal strength, each vote resulting in a
tie.
Permanent organization was effected by
the election of NJ K. Merritt of Monterey
County as chairman and Adolph Ramish
secretary by vote of 81 to 49, The result
was hailed as victory for Rose as against
Patton.
Much time was lost in fight over the
admission of proxies given by Cassin and
Burke of Santa Cruz and Thompson of
Monterey to Stephen M. White of Los
Angeles, and by him transferred to dele
gates instructed for Patton. After bitter
fight, ]. Marion Br ooks, chairman of the
credentials committee, on the suggestion
of John M. Mitchell acting for Rose, with
drew his protest and the proxies were adj
mitted. John w. Mitchell nominated L.
J. Rose and, T. o. Toland presented
George s. Patton's name.
The first and the succeeding six ballots
resulted in tie vote-Rose 35, Patton 35-
as follows:
Los Angeles-Rose 20, Patton IL.
Monterey-Rose 2, Patton l.
Santa Cruz-Patton 6.
San Luis Obispo-Rose 4, Patton Q.
Santa Barbara-Rose 1, Patton 9.
Ventura-Rose 3, Patton 3.
During the call of the roll poll of Ven
tura and Santa Barbara was demanded on
each ballot. Prior to the sixth rollcall
Harry Patton of Los Angeles introduced
proxy gained from George Hartman of
Santa Cruz, instructing for Patton. This
precipitated a lengthy fight on the admis-
slbility of the proxy after the committee
on credentials had rendered its final re-
port, J. w. Mitchell leading in the opposi-
ton to its admission and T. o. ToIand
arguing in its favor.
After several calls of the roll the matter
was finally referred to the committee on
credentials, with instructions to telegraph,
in the name of the convent ton, for veriti-
cation. At 11:30 o'clock no reply had
been received, and an adjournment was
taken to $50 o'clock in the morning.
Taken all in all, the convention has no
precedent in this district. Thomas Nc
Caffrey of the Southern Pacific telegraph
service in Los Angeles handled the Rose
delegates and Harry Patton of Los Ange-
les the Patton forces.
Several attempted frauds in the roll
call were frustrated by the Patton men,
]. Marion Brooks handing the chairman
tally-sheet falsifed in mistake, so it was
stated.
During the fifth rollcall some one
answered to the name OF Yoakum. an abb
tee, voting for Rose. Amid excitement
and confusion a recall was demanded and
tie vote announced.
Y Yoakum, the absentee, held the proxy
of f. M. Nickel of Los Angeles. This
proxy was claimed on both sides, and
Yoakum could not be found. having gone
to Los Angeles.

TRENTON, N. J., Aug. 4.-Twenty-
eight tramps were arrested by squad OF
special officers between 2 and o'clock
yesterday morning at the Pennsylvania
road Clinton-street station for trespassing
on the company's property in stealing a
ride on a freight train from Jersey City
and also on suspicion of being implicated
in robbery of ore of their comrades. 1t
appears that one of the comrades of these
tramps, Jake Portman of New York. had
some money on his person, which fact the
others learned, and just before reaching
New Brunswick revolvers were drawn.
Portman was robbed, stripped of his cloth
ing and thrown from the fast moving
train. He has not been heard of since.
Portman's brother was one of the gang,
and was arrested. He said the two men
who committed the robbery jumped from
the train at New Brunswick. All the
twenty-eight prisoners were dismissed
from custody because they had no money
to pay fines. and there is no room in the
workhouse.
Another raid was made last night on a
trainload of tramps, but they drew revol-
vers and drove the officers away.

identity of an .4bnmdOned Vessel.

PORTLAND, Or, Aug. 4.-The report
brought by Captain Hobbs OF the Nicar-
aguan brig Salvador, that he sighted a
large four-masted ship in tow OF the whale
back steamer City OF Everett, southbound,
the tow having lost her foremast, has
given rise to many coniectures among
Shipping men as to the identity of the
Abandoned vessel. The only four-master
that can be eadily placed as the abandoned
vessel is the British bark Chelmsford, 2l97
tons, Captain Thompson, from Grimsby
with a general cargo consigned to Meyer,
Wilson & Co. of this port. The Chelms-
ford is now out 148 days, but owing to the
unprecedented long westward passages of
this season no fears have heretofore been
entertained as to her safety.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. A Herald
Washin gton special says: Although the
tour OF duty of Rear-Admiral Beardslee Of
the Pacific station will expire this month,
it is understood that Secretary Herbert
will not relieve him until fall. Before
the Secreiary's departure for Alabama the
question was raised as to the date when
Admiral Beardslee should be relieved, and
he decided that no orders for any change
should be made until after the fall maneu-
vers.
All gossip connects the name of Rear
Admiral Ramsay. chief of the Bureau OF
Navigation, with the position OF Admiral
Beardslee's successor. Commodore George
Dewey is also an applicant for the billet
and the general impression at the depart
ment seems to be that he will be given the
assignment. Commodore Dewey is now
president of the Board of Inspection

DESPE RADOES CAPTURED

The Notorious Bandits Charged With
Nearly Every Crime on the
Calendar.

WICHITA, KANs., Aug. 4.-The: e:Chris-
tian brothers, the noted bandits, who es-
capped from the jail at Oklahoma City
about year ago through the connivance
of female bandit. who smuggled arms to
them, and who were then under sentence
for murder, and committed another in
order to escape, have been recaptured
near Loco, in the Indian Territory. Their
presence in that section was suspected
yesterday, when house was robbed by
two men answering their description, and
the Deputy United Marshal was notified
to be on the alert. They stole large
quantity of provisions, set of harness
and some money, and drove off in lum-
Der wagon in an easterly direction.
Hunger had evidently driven them from
their retreat. The officers followed, and,
having overtaken them, started to pass.
When just opposite the murderers the
latter were covered with Winchesters and
taken completely off their guard. The
bandits tameIy submitted to arrest,
though heavily armed
Both deny their identity, but they were
taken to Duncan and fully identified.
They were taken before United States
Commissioner Williams for preliminary
examination and were bound over with
out bail. This m orning they were taken
to the Federal Jail at Ryan, where the
identification was confirmed by several
parties. Their bodies show several gun
shot wounds recently inflicted. One OF
them has an ugly wound in the right
shoulder which has not yet healed. Their
career of crime has extended over long
period, and they were not only identified
with the Doolin gang at one time, but
they afterward headed an independent
gang and mede an unenviable record as
robbers and cutthroats. In making their
escape at Oklahoma City they killed the
Chief of Police.
