Sailor Jackson, Who Was Gonzales
cling, Has Had a Setback AMI
Will Die.

The passengers on the City of Para are
bewai!ing their fate. For the next five
days they will be held in quarantine at
Angel Island, and not even the mails will
be allowed to land. At least twenty-four
hours before the Para is released the Aca-
pulco, which will be due next Thursday,
will be keeping her company. Chief En-
gineer Mclean of the Acapulco died dur
ing the voyage, and it is thought that
other deaths may have occurred.
Sailor Jackson of the City of Para, who
was thought to be convalescent, has had a
setback and yesterday morning was put
to bed again. Quarantine Officer Beu
has very little hopes for his life. All the
passengers, both cabin and steerage, and
also the mail, Will be fumigated, and if
no fresh cases break out the vessel will be
released on Friday and allowed to dock.
In talking about the matter yesterday
DR.. Bleu said that he had reliable infor-
nation from passen gers by the City of
Para that yellow fever was not confined to
The isthmus of Panama, but that hun
dreds were dying from the disease along
the coast as far north as Champerico.
The City of Para is the steamer that
picked up some of the crew of the burned
British ship Buckhurst, and landed them
at Punta Arenas. Two of the ships
boats with seventeen men in them are
still missing.
The iull particulars of the disaster were
published ten days ago bo,h locally AMI
by telegraph. Otto Wesnerson, one of the
survivors of the BuckhuTst, was trans
ferred to the steamer Advance hound for
New York. He was taken sick during the
voyage, and on arrival at New York was
transferred 10 the hospital. He died last
Saturday, and all the passengers on the
steamer are now IN quarantine.
The Mail Company's san Jose, due here
six days after the Acapulco, and the San
Bias, due here on the 29th inst, will fol-
low the Para and Acapulco into quaran-
tine. This is the busy season of Inc year
with the Pacific Nj all. The coffee has all
been gathered and thousands OF ions OF

q heavy one that The company has been
compelled to put tramp steamers On to

Chun Woon Sing, charged with the

saw the defendant standing in the door of

fired which resulted in Pete's death.
Pete was sitting in chair being shaved
when he was assassinated. The murder
occurred about 9 o'clock at night. Mr..
Hutchings says that he did not see the

were fired, but that when the shooting

nTHE QUESTION"
At THE COLUM BIA
Novel Trial Scene in Lor-
inner Stoddard'S New
Play.
" Bagshot'S BlunderS" Precedas
q" The First Born" at the
A caZar.
In the Heart of the S'orm" Abounds
With Sens ticnal Scenes at
MoroSco'S.

A good deal of interest has centered
round lhe Frawley Company's first origi-
nal production init season, Lorlmer S od-
dard's ''The Question" which received its
its initial performance last night. The
fashionable audience which filled the the
ater gave favorable reception to the
work, and al the end of the second act
there was a strong disposition shown to
get a speech from the author, who had
personally superintended the production.
Mr.. Stoddard appeared and bowed, but no
words fell from his lips.
If THE Question" makes a permanent
hit it will be owing to the dramatic inter
est and novelty of the last act. The whole
play abounds with sparkling dialogue and
smart repartee, and some OF the charac-
tiers are amusingly, although satirically,
true to life.
There is nothing particularly new about
the plot, however. till the last act, when
Mr.. Stoddard has utilized the meeting of
q wOman's club for dra m attic purposes in
d very clev r way. Not only has he re-
produced the oddities which are apt to crop
up on such occasions, but he has in reduced a
strong dramatic in terest by making the meet
ing sort OF social courtmartlal OF woman
who has just been elected TO membership in
the cub.
Blanche Bates acted well as Annie Cannon,
and wore some startling gowns. Geo rgia
Busby took the part OF Miss Van Rensselaer,,
who in the first act threatens 10 disturb the
domestic peace OF the CaunouS and in The
tinae proved herself an angel OF philanthropy.
Miss Busby is a charming addition to the
company. She acted prettily and sympatheti-
caliy, and her appearance-sOmething in the
Efie Shannon sJyie-was very picturesque.
All her gowns were what q modist would call
creations" but in the fancy-dTess ball scene,

Wages Are Being Cut, but Men Are
Now Very Scarce.
The splendidIy equipped American ship
Commodore arrived from Baltimore yes
teTday with a cargo of coal in the fair
time Of 169 days. Captain Davidson re-
ports very heavy weather in the Gulf
Stream and also heavy westerly weather
off Cape Horn. The vessel had not been
in port five hours before she was along
side Union-street wharf and ready to
begin discharging. The rush is all in or
der to enable the Commodore to get to
Honolulu in time to save her charter. She
is to load sugar for New York. Captain
Davidson IS we'll known in San Francisco,
and a great mum Der of his frie nds were
down at the wharf to welcome him back.
The Oceanic pany's Australia sails
this afternoon for Honolulu with large
cargo. Among it will be 5000 sacks of
flour, canned goods, a lot ot machinery
and general merchandise.
Shipping masters and boarding house
masters are again lighting among them
selves. When the American snip St.
David arrived G. Mccarthy secured the
wolk OF supplying new crew at the rate
OF wages OF $50 month per man. Later
on A. ?. Mordaant offered to do the work
at $17 so per man. The JOB was trans
ferred TO him, bat Mordaunt could not get
the men to 20 for the money. Now the
captain OF the ST. David has agreed to pay
the regular wages, and will snip a crew
to-day.
The captain OF the Dirigo was in the
same box, and was compelled to pay the
full wages yesterday, and the chances are
that the Seminole, now at Astoria, will
have to do the same. The Portland
boarding masters would not let the men
go Tor less than $50 month, so two mates
and ten men were sent up from here on
the steamer Columbia last Saturday
Three of the Portland boarding masters
went up with them, and the men refused
TO sign articles when the Columbia ar
rived at her destination.
The new schooner Neptune, buls by
Matthew Turner for the Marshall Island
Gilbert group trade, will be down here
next Saturday. She is 118 feet long, "a
feet broad and 10 feet deep, and has the
largest and best appointed cabin of any
trading schooner on the coast. She was
built for the Jaluit Trading Company, but
has been sold 10 Cautain kessler who
will command her. The captain came up
lev, and will take the Neptune back with
him. When the vessel was christened a
few days ago the Rev. MIR. Read of West
Berkeley went 10 the scene and asked
Captain Kessler not to serve liquor out to
his guests or the workmen. His reoues I
was denied, and then he peremptoriI v
ordered the men to throw the beer over
board The men laughed at him, and
then Captain Kesser led his un bidden

hats. and that there was no possibility OF
his being mistaken in the matter of iden-
iification.
During yesterdays hearing all the rela-
tions of the witness with residents of
Chinatown were gone into by Judge
Murphy. 1t was ascertained that Mr..
Hutchings is agent for sewing machine
company and that he frequently visits the
merchants and manufacturers of that To-
calitv in the pursuit of his calling. lie
had frequent talks with different Chinese
merchants at different times since the
murder and counsel for the defense init
mated that at the proper time it would be
shown That all his stories would not hang
together.
In reply to Judge Murphy's question
the witness admitted that he accepted a
pass to the Chinese theater one night sew
eral months ago and that he had talk
about the case, but that he had never
said anything inconsistent with u is pres
ent position on the witness-Stand. The
person from whom he accepted the the
ater pass was Kwang Low, who called on
him at his office several times to find out
what he knew about the shooting.
Another converSation that was called
to his memory by Judge Murphy was one
witt Mr.. Hart, who is associated with

Low Fook owes us $500 and we have no
security except his word of honor, and
would ike 10 know how he stands on the
Little Pete killing"
Subsequently, it appeared, Mr.. Hutch
ings had q talk with Low Fook. The con-
versation was recounted as follows: Low
Fook said TO me that Little Pete did not
belong to the same company that he did -,
but that he was business man and so
was the speaker; he was told that the
men who did the killing belonged to his
company; he didn't think Pete was a
good man, but as he was q business man
the persons who did the killing ought to
be punished; he was willing to see the
guilty punished.
Mr.. Hutchings said he had heard he
was to receive part of the reward offered
| by the widow of Little Pete" if the
defendant is convicted. He did not place
any reliance on that statement, however.
Captain B. F. Boben of the detective
force testified that Mr.. Hutchings had
visited the City jail several times and had
made several statements of The case, ana
all of them were substantially the same
and all in accordance with the testimony
OF others so far as IT was possible TO COR
rohorate his testimony.

engaged in the Hoffman inquest to-day

cisco Presbvtery decided to withdraw its
support at that time it owed Mr.. Du-
puv $3.50 and of this $lO0 is still owing. In
the hope that this sum will soon be raised
the sale OF the attached articles is being
STAYED off from day to day. When seen
on the subject yesterday the pastor was
very 10th to discuss the attachment.
Finally, however, he made the following
state
I'VE have been obliged to abandon our
headquarters on Powell street, on account
OF our difficulty to meet our engagement.
We had expected to receive from the pres
bytery the arrears for a work done during
'96 and 81 Unfortunately since April we
have only received $40, and that contribu-
ton came from one of the smallest
churches. We do not mean to complain,
but it is pretty hard for the worker first
to see his stipend cut down by $3.50, and
then to have to wait so long tor work done
in the past. OF course we continue the
work, though it has been stated time after
time that we had given it up. We have
secured new quarters and expect to still
labor among our own people.
" 1t Is very unfortunate, and had it not
been for the aid from the board in New
York, probably the work would have died
out sooner. 1t has been stated that the
French were wealthy enough 10 support
their mission. This can be answered
TO the Roman church as a ms iority.
"Several times We have appealed to our
brethren of the Presbyterian denomlna-
ton, but the results have not come up to
the expectation OF our people. 1t Is hoped
that probably within few days the un-
fortunate arrears due from the pre- bytery
will be settled, in order TO allow the pastor
of the French church to meet his obliga-
tfons and not be looked upon as man
who refuses to pay his de bts.
"Of course, such a work-mission work
is not as brilliant as might be required in
other cases, but to put man in the field
insufficiently supported is to expose him
to a half success or a failure. More good
has been done through that work than is
known, and perhaps greater encourage
ment would have enabled the workers to
make more of a success. If only the
arrears of Oakland Presbytery had been
also settled fourteen or fifteen months
ago there would have been more satisfac.
ton on all sides. AS it is, the pastor is
compelled to give lessons to live, for
eighth-tenths of his salary has gone TO
the work"
Mr.. Dupuy did not care to make any
further statement. From other sources
it was learned that the church has scrAped
enough money together to pay the rent of
the hall 927 Pacific street for month and
that the pastor has no intention of aban-
doning the work. On Sunday the congre-
cation met in the new hail, which was
fuTn nished with benches, and for which a
friend had lent them an organ. Many of
the people and children brought flowers,
in order to give tie new place of worship
more homelike appearance.

The organ, the benches and all the fix

driven to seek refuge st 927 Pacific street.
For the last three years the pastor, Rev.
Edward }. Dupuy, has lahored 10 build
up French Reformed congregation, with
some assistance from the San Francisco
and Oakland presbyteries and from the
Presby terian board in New York. The
presby teries have frequently been in ar
rears with the payments, however, and as
the pastor has spent the greater part of
his stipend for rent he has had hard
struggle to keep a church root over the
heads of his flock.
