BERiNG SEA SEAL CATCHES.
american Fleet Returns From an Unprof, :
able Cruise in Northern
Wnfers

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, May 15.-
All the vessels OF the American sealing
feet have returned and been ins pected,
and reports have been made by United
States Inspector Enoch S. F. Fowler of
this city. The Willard Ainsworth of
Seattle was the high-liner of the fleet. al
though its catch was not remarkable and
will not much more than pay the expenses
of the voyage.
A conspicuous fact in connection with
the catches, said Mr. Fowler to-day, was
that so per cent of the pelts taken were
those of females, from which some idea
can be derived of how long it will take to
accomplish the determination of these al
ready decimated herds.
So far as the Indians are concerned
and the feet here scheduled is made up
entirely of vessels manned by them except
ing the Ainsworth-they never had such
poor luck before and are thoroughly dis
couraged. It would not be surprising if
they did not go out again this year on
their own account.
The principal reasons for the smallness
of the catches were bad weather wnen the
herd migrating north was sighted. and in
ability to catch up with the seals when the
sea was smooth enough to permit of put
ting out boats. This is the catch:

Prosecuting Attorney SYRIA Denounces Dr..

SAUSAIITO, CAL, May 15.-There was
an exciting scene in Recorder Joseph II.
Pryor's court this afternoon. Prosecut-
ing Attorney Adolph Sylvia called DR..
Richard I. Freeman of Sausalito .liar,
periurer. and scoundreP' and gave him
dressing down. such as no physician
ever received in Sausalito before.
The case on trial WAS one in which DR..
Freeman, whose license to practice medi-
cine vas revoked by the State Board of
Medical Examiners some time ago, was
defendant in suit brought by d. Apple
ton & Co. for recovery on certain books
purchased by the doctor. The doctor on
the stand became confused by the cross
examination by Attorney Sylvia and stated
things that Sylvia said were not so. After
number of tits the Prosecuting AItor-
ney S time to argue came around, anu he
pitched into the doctor in q manner that
left that individual in such state that ne
could make no reply. The lawyer SPOKE
of Freeman's "immaculate gall, ana ior
fifteen minutes subjected him TO terrinc

in the middle of the speech to say that ne

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, May 15.-
District Attorney Daley has just returned
from The Needles, whittier he went in re-
sponse to an urgent call for his services.
It was found that under the new county
government law constables had no re-
course for the collection of fees for
transporting vagrants to the county seat,
208 miles distant, and as the city there is
overrun with hobos the citizsns are in q
quandary. The situation has become so
serious that vigilance committee was to
be formed. Sheriff HolcomD has been ap-
peaied to and he has gone to The Needles
to work out a possible solution of the

many Of these are in evidence on coat

A drlZZling rain and an overcast sky in

to-day, but thousands OF bright-hued
badges of red, green and white were ex-
posed to the weather. so many of their
wearers being determined to see all there

mained. A large mum ber Of visitors en-
joyed the carriage drives given them Dy
hospitable citizens under the auspices of
the Chamber of Commerce. The dele
gates, who kept in retirement during the
afternoon, did their best to eujoy th g
morning drive in spite OF the rain. About
300 visitors went to Redondo by the mar
row-gauge road to see the ocean. To.
morrow everybody is expected to go to
Catalina Island if sufficient boats can be
obtained. The steamer Hermosa has been
put into commission, but as the one boat
was scarcely equal to the load that is
promised the Bannings undertook to put
on another steamer.
The wish of the Transportation Com
pany was frustrated by peculiar situa-
tion. 1t was necessary to engage an extra
marine engineer LOT the purpose. but q
diligent search of the city and inquiry at
the employment offices developed the fact
that no marine engineer holding the
papers to permit him to serve legally
could be found, and there was no time to
send elsewhere for man to take the
place.
The business meeting to-day was wholly

resolution is being warmly discussed and
it will not be disposed of without spirited
controversy.
The Eks had q social high iinks this
evening for the conductors, and it was a
notable one. The Order of tho Eastern
Star rendered reception this evening TO
visiting ladies of the auxiliary at Masonic
Tenn pie. On Monday evening the Knights
of Pythias lodge will hold grand recep-
ton for the conductors who are mem bers
of that order.
A fact worthy of note in connection
with the rumor of trouble over the reIa.
tions between the Order of Railway Con.
ductors and the non-union conductors on
the Santa Fe is that none of the free ex-

have thus far been on the Southern

REDDING, CAL, May 15.-Donald Nc
Intosh, the Trinity County mine-promo-

moss covered rocks that in places line the
banks OF The Trinity River. When the
good wives and daughters of the miners
living near the stream have needed pin
money this spring they gathered this moss
from the rocks, picked it into small partl-
cles and panned out the sod in prospec-

gold, ano sometimes making quite re-

Mcintosh explains that the muddy
waters of the Trinity River, which has
been unusually high this season, con-

sediment, straining through the moss, de-

that as much as 81 in one day has been

REDDING, CAL, May 15.-In the Supe-
rior Court to-day Judge Sweeny sen fenced
William Miller, a halfbreed, and Louis
Richards, an Indian, to the penitentiary
for the term of their natural lives, for the
murder of Serafino Geniguani near Buck
eye in this county, on the 18th of last
March. Geniguani kept a winery and
sold to the two men several bottles of
wine. They became crazy with drink and
to get more broke into the wine cellar. In
the quarrel resulting Geniguani's throat
was cut and his body was dragged into a
fence corner for con cealment.
Subsequent TO their arrest both men
made several alleged confessions, contra
dictory and untrustworthy. Last Satur-
day they pleaded guilty in open court
and to-day evidence was taken to deter
mine the magnitude of their crime. Judge
Sweeny, in sentencing them to life i'm
prisonment, explained that the only facts
in extenuation of their crime were that
the murder was com mitted while they
were drunk, that the liquor that crazed
them had been furnished unlawfully by
their victim ana that they had shown no
