church extension secretary of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, South, will not in
terfere with the meetings to be held Sum
day at Wesley Monumental Church.
DIR. Morton was to have been present
to assist in the services. The Methodists
of the city were anticipating with much
pleasure the privilege of hearing him. The
news of his death printed by the Morning
News of yesterday, was received with deep
regret. Many local Methodists and all the
preachers knew him, and he was held in
universal esteem.
Bishop Duncan will come alone to con-
duct the meetings. He was wired yes
terday by the pastor of Grace Church,
Rev. Osgood F. Cook, to ascertain whether
he could fiji his engagement after the
death of Or. Morton. He replied that he
would be here. The Bishop will preach at

WAS NOT UNEXPECTED,
Withdrawal of the Charges Against
Chancellor Warren.

The withdrawal of the charges against
Grand Chancellor c. r. Warren of the
Knights of Pythias of Georgia is what
many of the local Knights have been ex-
pecting. When the charges were filed
there were but few here who seemed to re-
gard them seriously, or to think they
would be sustained when it came to a
trial.
Elsewhere in the Morning News appears
an account of the meeting of the tribunal
of grand officers at Fitzgerald yesterday.
Keeper of Records and Seals w. T. Leo
POD and Master of the EXchequer c. A.
Cox, were the Savannahians in Fitzgerald

ed to return tonight. Pythians in the
city will be glad to see a withdrawal of
the charges.

 The wreck is in about the same posi- tion that it was Tuesday. Both an chors have found holding ground and the remains of the vessel will stay where they are until a wrecker or an- other storm sends them to the bottom. Yesterday the revenue cutter Rush went out to the wreck and remained by it all day. No trace of life was found and the wreck gave the appearance of holding together for some time to come The captain of the cutter con- siders the remains of the Amy a men ace to navigation and recommends that they be blown up. The life saving crew at the Ocean Beach went out to the wreck last night and put light on it. This they will do every night un- til the derelict is removed.
 The man who knows more about the Helen w. Amy than anybody else in San Francisco is Jim Widdonson, who for 15 years was first mate of the old craft. "She was built in 1859 by Charles Amy of New Bedford" said he, yesterday. "She was christened after Mr. Almv's daughter, Helen w,

APPOINTED BY
 GENERAL SKATER
Lieutenant w. $. McNaip Ord nance Officer at the Pre-
 SidiO.
Progress of the Army Reorg aniza ton Bill Affords Satisfac-
 ton.

General William R. Shafter, command ing the Department of California, as signed Lieutenant w. s. McNair, Battery G, Third Artillery, to the position of ord- nance officer of the Presidio and Fort Ba- ker yesterday. The appointment is made to fill the vacancy caused by the assign ment of Lieutenant Charles T. Menoher to the Sixth Artillery, Fort McHenry, Maryland.
 Lieutenant McNair, the newly appointed ordnance officer, graduated from West Point Military Academy in 1886, and from the Fort Monroe Artillery School in 1886.
 Since the arrival of the Third Artillery at this station, Lieutenant McNair has been concerned in the mounting of the high-power guns and the care of the mag, azines at Fort Point. He Is well versed in the duties pertaining to the position which he Is called to occupy
 It is generally understood in army cir cles that Lieutenant Menoher. the for mer ordnance officer. will be appointed ment. Colonel E. B. WilIston, who was recently promoted to command the Sixth. entertains a high regard for Lieutenant Menoher hence 1t is highly probable that one of the first requests made by the col onel on his arrival at headquarters in Washington, D. C., was that the young officer should be assigned to duty with the Sixth.

For many years Congress has been urged to intro duce the three-battalion plan, but for one reason or another the subject was laid over from one session to another until the army began to fear that the desired change would not come during the pres ent century.

As a matter of fact, we spent about the l. tier sum fitting her for sea. The repairs were carried out by George Eun0el, who had orders to make thorough job of it, and my share of inc bill for repairs alone came to $500.
 Beyond paying, as one-third owner for fhe repairs, l had nothing fo do with the voyage. When Mohns and kalten- bach and Captain Hogan bought the other two-thirds of the ship l had no idea what trade they were going to put her in.
 Tt is quite true that I did not insure the ship, but then I have never insured her. All the time she was running in the island trade I took the risk myself Why if I had paid premiums on, the vessel from the beginning. to whom would she have belonged? Not to me, but to the underwriters. The com panies are asking absurdly high premiums for the northern trade. The steamer Humboldt has paid at the rate of 30 per cent per annum, and for the Helen W. Amy they asked 10 per cent for the voyage. That would be equal to about 40 per cent per annun1. k, w. ever, as the captain wanted hls share of the vessel insured. I got it done for hiE1 in a foreign office at the rate cf 20 per cent per annum.'

WRECK TO BE BLOWN UP.
Government Cutters Will Send the Derelict to the Bottom With
 Dynamite.

It was pointed out to MT. Wightman that it would be better for the public and for himself to state his side of the case, and at last he consented. 'I be- lieve," he said, that the Helen w. Amy was thoroughly seaworthy when she left this port. She was an old ves- sel, it is true but then she was very strongly built of oak, and had never, during the whole course of her career, proved unfit for service.
 Tt is my opinion that she capsized owing to the pressure of the gale on her sails Perhaps the crew, being new to the vessel, were not able to take in the canvas quick enough. But 1 do not believe that she started leaking, and so filled with water before capsizing."
 But what about Captain Pedersen's statement that, on the voyage to Ocos, in the Carolines, she leaked so badly that, pump as hard as they might, they were never able to find the bottom of the ship?"
 Tt is absolutely untrue. The best reply I can make is to show you Cap tain Pedersen's own report of the voy age. Writing from Ocos, on March 7th, 1896, he says-copy it yourself from the letter."
 This is what Captain Pedersen, whose opinion of the ship has changed during two years, then wrote:
 Tn regard to the vessel and the pas sage. Shall mention few words. First, leaving San Francisco the bar was bad, and at the same time strong westerly wind blowing. The vessel plunged in heavily and made wateL freely, but I considered that she was dried up. She got better after a few days, and in calm and smooth sea she makes very little water. But in heavy seas and breeze she makes quite lot"
 You will see from that letter" con- T;rrl,f 1,nf fai, Pedersen must very frequently have had chance to observe the bottom of his ship if he had wanted to. During the whole time l was running her to my station at Butaritari, in the Gill; berts, between 1850 and 1896, she brought up many cargoes of copra, ano in no case was the lading damaged. II 1 had not given up my business in the islands, the vessel would probably be running there still.

Tt is also a mistake to say that Cap tain Luttrell left the vessel because he was afraid she would founder. Cau- tain Luttreu gave up the sea on ac. count of his health, and bought share in the J. F. Cunningham Company. The best proof I can give of the conf,- dence felt in the ship by her officers was that Captain Murchison, who had sailed in her as mate for several voy- ages, willingly took command of her when Luttrell left.
 'If there was anything wrong with the ship it was certainly not my farlt A short time ago Captain Turner sur veyed her for me, and reported that, considering her age, the vessel was in wonderful condition and that there wes no sign of rot in her timbers. Then Messrs Wright & Hay stated thac she could be put in condition for the luyn Der trade at a cost of 5000, or for any trade at an expense of 5000.

They were all fine, strap ping young men, mostly from Colgate in the Indian Territory. It is too bad This sort of thing should be stopped; somebody ought to be made responsible for sending ships to sea in such a con- dtion."
 When seen yesterday J. Wightman Jr. at first declined to discuss the loss of the Amy at all.
 "It is an awful affair."" he said at last, but what is the use of talking about it? Charges have been made against me and the vessel which are utterly unfounded, but sooner than re- ply to them I would prefer to let the matter drop"

J. R. ARMSTRONG,
Who Warned the Men on the III Fated Bark Helen w. Amy.

and was first of all in the China tea trade and a smart little clipper she Was But she was tender-always ten der. l joined her in 1864 and left her in 1879, when Captain Freeman put his son in as master.
 After running for a while in the China trade she was sent out to Aus tralta and carried passengers from Sydney to San Francisco. We brought frst-clasS printer over with us on the first trip and when he did not find all the gold he expected he went to work at his trade and James King of William made him foreman of the Bull letin composing rooms. He went back to Australia again later on and years afterward, when the Amy was once wife and children aboard to show them the vessel that had carried him to the Golden West.

She never leaked while I was in her, but then I left her before she was dis mantled in a hurricane and had to put into San Francisco for repairs
 Widdonson thinks that the Amy leaked through her topsides until she was half filled with water, and that a squall then put her over on her side.
 The manager of the Brooklyn Hotel was in a terribly distressed state of mind yesterday. Fifteen out of the twenty seven passengers on the Helen

that she was permitted to sail in sinking condition. The law gives no one jurisdiction over sailing vessels unless they leave for a foreign port not contiguous to the United States or for some port on the Atlantic coast. All coasting craft under sail is exempt from inspection, consequently when the owners demand clearance papers from the collector of the port, he has no op- tfon except to give them.
 Hence, nobody is to blame-legally.
 A dispatch to The Call from Santa Cruz says that John Leveck, whose name is on the passenger list of the Amy, left Boulder Creek, where he was in the saloon business, for Alaska, a week ago. His family thinks that although he had passage engaged he did not go on the vessel because he missed the train at San Jose and the Amy had left before he reached San Francisco. John Leveck has not been heard of since he left San Jose.
 The loss of the Helen w. Amy was the one topic of conversation on the water front yesterday. Some seafaring men think that every soul on board perished, while others think that some if not all of the passengers and crew may have been saved. With the Amy there sailed last Sunday the whaling bark Andrew Hicks on a cruise, the schooner Alcalde for Willapa Harbor, Barbara Hernster for Fort Bragg, Beulah for Seattle, barkentine Eureka for Tacoma, schooners John A. for Eu- reka and Maggie c. Russ for Astoria. The Andrew Hicks and the Helen w Amy were almost the same size and sailed in company and should have been close together during Sunday night and Mondays storm. Then the schooners must have been somewhere in the vicinity and if the Almy's people had a chance to take to the boats they
