No News From the Pacific Mail
Company's Rio de
JaDeiro.
NAVAL RESERVE AT WORK.
Narrow Escape of Two Young Fisher.
men Whose Boat Capsized
Off Alcatraz.

The fate of the Pacific Mail Cohpany's
steamer City Of Rio de Janeiro is still in
doubt. The Merchants Exchange was be-
sieged all of yesterday by anxious inquir-
ers, but the same answer had to be given
to a!l-"No news"
Agent Center is still confident that the
steamer is above water and that she will
be heard from in due time. He argues
that she may have been blown out OF her
course In a storm and is now making her
way to Hongkong under small steam
pressure and sail.
After the accident to the City Of Peking
yards were placed on the foremast of the
Rio so that she has now considerably more
sail area than she had three years ago. II
her engines have broken down she will
thus be aole to make fair time under sail,
and if the Doric does not pick her up she
will probably eventually be heard from.

the topical song, "They didn't do a thing
to him."
According to his story, he ordered a
small bottle of claret. The waiter, he
says, demanded $50 for it. Logan wanted
to compromise for 81, and the entire force
OF walters, songstresses, bouncers and
hangers-on surrounded him. Fearing
bodily harm, he drew a six-shooter that
he carried down the leg of his pants, and
his assailants beat precipitate retreat.
But they yelled 'Police!" as they went.
In consequence Sergeant Freel and posse
appeared on the scene and found the fiery
Fresnoan defying the entire establish
ment in hot language. Mr. Logan yielded
to the inevitable and the police and went
quietly to JAIL where he was charged with
making threats against life and carrying a
