the Sunol. When it came TO a question of
long pull and strong pull and pull
all together the Sunol came back onto an
even keel. 1t high wafer last night she
was pumped out and put on the Mission
mud flats.
The stern-wheeler is a com plete wreck.
All her deckhouses are gone and from
the main deck up nothing is left save
broken timbers. All the lead bars are
gone and when the vessel turned turtle
The boilers broke loose and, crashing
through the deck, went into the bay The
estimate for placing the vessel in the same
condition as she was in prior to the disas-
ter is $4,000, but the chances are that it
will cost considerably more than that sum
to put her in good running order again.
r. J. Il. Alden, Harry Goodall and A. E.
Pryor paid visit to the wreck yesterday
and came to the conclusion that things
might have been worse. The hull OF the
vessel is intact and the guard at the point
where the Olympic struck her was barely
cut through.
1T has not mace a particle OF difference
to our business" said Mr. Pryor yester-
day. "We had the Grace Barton ready to
take the SunoPs place, and the travel is
going on the same as usual. We we're in

Simply Fighting for Time.

GiMPAy ~ lux AAAAAGs
SACRAMENTO, CAL, March 19.--It 10
generally understood by the members OF
the Senate that the persistent and repeat
ed attempts of the two Examiner attach es
to be released from custody under habeas
corpus proceedings are put forth simply
to fight ainst time in the hope that the
Legislature will ad journ without taking
steps to provide for their confinement
after that body dies.
As there is nothing of vindictive CHAR
acter in the course the Senate has pursued
in this matter, 1t will probably consider
the punishment to which the two con-
tumacious witnesses have been already
subjected as sufficient, and will take no
further steps looking to their imprison-
ment.
The result of such inaction will be that
should the prisoners be again remanded,
which Is highly probable, they will likely
secure their release when the Legislature
has adjourned by petition for new writ
of habeas corpus declaring that they are
ready to purge themselves of contempt
and that there is no legal representative
of the Senate to whom they can give the
answers which they originally refused to
make.

NO PAY FOR PINKERToNs.

Finance Committee Refuses to Audit q
Bill for Detective Work.
The Finance Committee OF the Board Of
Supervisors refused yesterday to audit a
bill for detective services contracted by
the Grand Jnry while conducting its In
vestigation into the affairs OF the Golden
Gate Park management.
The bill vas for six days work by a
Pinkerton detective, which, with ex-
penses, including liquid refreshments,
brought the amount up to $31 30.
The committee refused to r. commend
the payment Of the demand because no
authority had been given to contract such
indebtedness, and that the regular detec-
tives Of the Police Department could have
done the work just as well.

EAGER FOR SPECIAL PROFIT
Albany Chemical Company Wants
ChlOrOfOrm Protected.
Ways and Means Committee Ignored
It-If senate Also Refuses 1t VIII
Manufacture in Canada.

The fact that the fight Of the special
interests Tor recognition and protection
by the Republican tariff law to be enacted
at this session Of Congress is illustrated
by the efforts Of the Albany Chemical Com
pany In regard to chIorOforin
This company has a Patent process By
which it claims to be able to produce a
very pune article Of chlOIOiOrm at a cost
far below the cost by the Old process 1t
takes a pound of alcohol 10 make a pound
of chlorOform, they say TO tie committee,
and as a late Of thirty cents pound Is put
on alcohol a similar rate ought TO be put
on chIOToform- That would only repay
the amount taken for the alcohol, and
really would be 10 protection at all This
would only fellow out the great Republican
doctrine OF equalization
This doctrine, according to the Demo
Gratis, S applied only to business within the
combine" But the Albany Chemical Com
pahy has already considered itself one of
the interests allied TO support high pro-
tective tariff, and doesn't understand why
1t should be Disseminated against. 1t can
make chlorOform az a profit, il is claimed,
almost without q tariff. Even admitting
that it could. its managers do not see why
its large profits legitimately earned by it's
Invention should be scaled down by lower
ing the duty on chloroform.
In spite of the protest by the Albany com
pany the rate on chlOr0fOrm has been made
20 cents a pound. An appeal from the COM
pany for % cents pound fell upon deaf
ears when it reached the Republican mem
bers of the ways ald Means Committee, and
the item went through the House Friday
as in the bill.
The company proposes now to 60 to
the Senate for relief If it does not get
it, there is final resort IL has a factory
at Montreal. IL VIII make all it's chlOrO-
form there. It's claim is that no other man
ufactureT can make chlOTOfoTm for less
than SO cents per pound and the duty will
have to be put at 81 pound TO allow a
profit. This will force up the price aud the
company will make more money by Operat-
ing at Montreal and paying duty than it
could by manufacturing at Albany.
The unfortunate feature about this, the
company claims in its plea, is that there
will he large amounts of low grade ehloro-
form sold in the United states, and the
people Will he the sufferers. A high price
for any article always brings out cheap
grades OF inferior goods. This is so IN
fortunate in the case of chloroform, it is
urged, that Great Britain puts on a duty of
90 cents pound to protect the public from
this dang ger.

said Grocer Zadock w Kessler, as he
looked through the iron bars Of cell No.
l at the Ninth precinct station, and sur
veyed Andrew Tillman, a burly young
negro, who is locked up on the technical
charge of assault.
Tillman is supposed to he one of the
men who entered Mr. KeSslcr's store at
the corner of Tenth and c streets north
east, on the night of February % last, for
the purpose of robbery, and failing, shot
the grocer, inflicting wound which nearly
cost him his life, and then escaped.

him with assault, which occurred during
a drunken quarrel some time ago. When
Tinman was seen by Scrgt- Jordan, he was
recognized as the man for whom he has
been looking ever since the Kessler
Sault. The prisoner is about eighteen
years old and has a repulsive appearance
and is shabbily dressed. He lives in Ger
don'S alley, and has a very nsavory
record among the police.
1t will be remembered that upon the
tered the grocery store, and while one
went behind the counter to get the cash
drawer the OTHER approached the grocer,
commanding him to remain silent, and as
soon as he jumped to his feet shot him
without another word. The man was de-
scrbed as rather stockily built, copper
colored with slouch hat, and shabbily
dressed. This corresponds exactly with
Tillmans make UP. His face, except his
eyes. was covered with a much-soiled red
bandana handkerchief, so that his features
could not be seen.
Yesterday when Mr.. Kessler called at
the station he observed a red handkerchief
protruding from the prisoners pocket.
When the grocer asked Tillman to show
him his handkerchief he produced a soiled
white handkerchief and attempted TO con-
ceal the red one When the latter was
shown, however, Mr. Kesslcr at once recog.
niZed it from its peculiar figure as the one
which covered the mans face at the time
of the hold-up.

neck has entirely healed he is still a suf-
