THEY SAIL IN BALLAST.
Very Little Freight Now for the
TranS-Paciic Steam.
erS.
The Doric's Maiden Trip With but
500 Tons-Fares Cut by the
Canadian Line.

The Pacific Mail Company Is in quan.
Diary over its business with China and
Japan, all because of the loss of business
in face of an increase in ships for the
trans-Pacifc trade. Its twin company,
the Occidental and Oriental, which is un-
derstood to be practically the Pacific
Mail" and is managed from the same
office largely under Southern Pacific in
fuences, suffers also.
The Occidental and Oriental Company
only recently chartered new steamer
from the White Star line-the Doric land
put her into commission few days ago.
People who took any interest in shipping
had an opportunity of admiring the grace
full and stately Doric as she lay in the har-
Dor at ombard-street wharf. indeed, she
was spoken of on all sides with words of
admiration, and great things were expected
for her. Nobody felt more deeply i'm
pressed on this score than did the Pacific
Mail officials.
And the Doric waited in calm dignity
for the cargo that never came. Large con-
81 gnments of cotton were looked for from
the South, but for some reason the South
ern Pacific did not receive call for trains,
nor did the Mail Company by Panama re-
L
come, ard it is now sta ted, because former
shipments for the Orient were neglected
by the Pacific Mail and allowed to lie
upon the dock or in stores, although badly
needed in the Japanese mills.
But the trouble was not confined to cot
ton alone, for all other clases OF freight
were quite as scarce.
"The Doric sailed for the Orient" said
an officer of the Mail Company yesterday,
with q cargo of sand and pigirOn. They
found that pieces of the hills near the
water front came in very conveniently to
ballast the ship. In all, she had about 500
tons of cargo (the rest was ballast), whereas
she ought TO have had at least 1000 tons.
II was the same story with the steamer
that sailed before she did. There was cot
ton from Texas or down South, but it never
came, and then little, or almost nothing,
was left for cargo.
1.-THE truth is the Canadian steamers are
taking the best of the business away from
the Pacific Mail. Nor is the lost business
freight alone, but passengers as we'll The
fare for first-class passenger to the
Orient used TO be $500. The Canadian line
made a lower rate, and the Pacific Mail
has had to come down to 5000 loss of
500 on each passenger. Chinese used to
pay 500 Tor the passage, but the Cana
dans cut that down, and the Mail Com
pany had to follow suit by splitting their
old rate in two.
Now Chinese can cross the ocean for
$50. A steamer took out 400 Chinese,
who were going home for their New Year.
Now that means at the reduced rate loss
of $1,000 on one trip alone. and, as those
fellows return, it means another loss of
$1,000 or $14, 900 on a single round trip of
one steamer. That is only case in point,
but it gives you an IDEA of how the Mail
Company is situated.

THE BABY'S VAN|SHMENT,
Charges and Counter Charges
Made by Papa and Mamma
Marceau.
A Love for Wine on One Hand and
Intoxication on the
Other.

The Marceau baby has gone from the
Palace Hotel, but the mother is silent as
to the method of its vanshment.
Both parents of the child are seeking a
divorce, and in the language Of the detec-
other for some time. The baby was the
sensational bone of contention. as events
at the Palace Thursday night proved, and
developments of startling character are
expected.
Mrs. Marceau refused positively to be
interviewed. All inquiries after the well
fare of Baby Marceau and its mothers fu-
ture purposes were met with peremptory
refusal to be quizzed. All corners were re.
ferred to her lawyers, Messrs. Dunno &
MCPike. During the short conversation
accorded the reporter Mrs. Marceau let it
be known that she deemed it gross insult
to her position and reputation that such
publicity should have been given to tn
discraceful scene enacted in her apart
ments in the Palace Hotel Thursday night.
Mr.. McPike had also developed disin-
clination for converse with representa-
tives OF the press. He characterized the
proceedings of Colonel Marceau as brutal
In contravention of the colonel's aliega-
10 ms Mrs. Marceau asserts that she has
been subjected to the most brutal treat
ment. She says that he was in the habit
of getting intoxicated and subjecting her
to the most humiliating trea tment.
The colonel has something to say about
the free and unlimited use of intoxicants
in the domestic circle. In the plainest of
plain language the colonel asseverates that
Mrs. Marceau gets drunk. The red, red
wine has an overpowering fascination for
her, and the resultant condition is not such
as to insure the colonels perpetual peace
and domestic felicity.

The Violinist's Second Recital
Here Draws a Good
House.
ASSISTED BY LOCAL TALENT.
Sauvlet Plays in the Kreutzer So
nata-Donald de V. Graham
Sings.

Marsick was greeted last night by ar
audience that more than two-thirds filleG
the California Theater. The violinist was
assisted by Donald de V. Graham, barry
tone; Sauvlet, pianist, and Mrs. NJ. Hin
richs, accompanist.
1t would, be mistake to say that there
was any fervid amount of enthusiasm
The audience was keenly appreciative and
showed its enjoyment of the stars ex
Quisitely finished and artistic PLAYING by
warm applause.
Excellent srtist as Marsick is. however
he does not possess the magnetic force and
the dominating personality which give
some rare musicians, such as Paderewsk
or Ysaye, the power to sway the musical
multitude with an almost hypnotic force
People applaud Marsick because their in.
.tellect admires his art, not because theil
pulses thrill to his music.
The opening number last night was the
"Kreutzer Sonata Sauvlet was the plan
ist, and he did knights work in entering
into Marsick's Interpretation of the COM
position, which was somewhat delicate
Interpretation, but lacking in passion,
which some more ylrile vlolinlSts put into
the final presto especially.
Vieuxtemps' Fantasia appassionata'
showed the viOlinists exquisite cantabile,
as well as his finished technical skill. His
whole performance of the work made one
think of the singing of those rapidly dis
appearing liquid sopranos of the old Ital-
ian school, to whom the most forid
child 8 play. Delightfully."- finished and
easy that singing was, but there were less
soul and feeling in it than in the rougher
singing OF some modern artists. To q GER
tain extent the same remark applies 10
Marsiek's playing of the appassionata.
There were two Marsick compositions,
one called "Dream" and the other
Joking" (Scherzando). They were both
pretty and effective, particularly the lat
ter, and Marsick played them we'll. but
neither rose above the level of the COM
monplace. The "Czardas," by Hubay, was
played with considerable verve and aroused
a determined demand for an encore, to
which the violinist responded by playing
a Romance" of his own composition,
which was more ambitious and taking
work than the two previous pieces of his
own that he had played.
Two numbers of the "Suite Tzigani" by
A. Wormse finished the programme.
They were brilliantly played and made
people loath to leave the theater without
an encore, but though Marsick came on to
bow several times he did not play again.
Donald de V. Graham, the violinist,
sang in his usual agreeable and finished
manner. He is also heard to best advan-
tage in French, and Tschaikowsky' S
''Serenade to Don Juan" was charm
ingly sung in that language last night.
The solo, ut Was Not Thus to Be, v
from the "Trompeter Won Sackingen," de-
mands more vim than Mr.. Graham
possesses, but he sang the air so cleverly
as almost to conceal the fact. Both Mr.
Graham's songs were encored. Mrs. n
J. Hinrichs accompanied ably.
Marsick's last concert will take place to.

The Chinese are fond of eggs about 100
years old. and old eggs are worth about as
much in China as old wine is in other
countries. They have a way of burying
the eggs, and it takes about thirty days to
render a picked egg fit to eat. Some of
the old eggs have become as black as ink,
and one of the favorite Chinese dishes for
invalids is made up OF eggs which are pre-
served in jars of red clay and salt water.
