LOGS TWENTY-Slx KNOTS
THE ENGINEERS TRIAL VERY
 SATISFACTORY.

One of Uncle Sam's latest prospective fighting ships was skipping around the bay yesterday in a light and fantastic manner and casually showing other bay craft that they did not know the first rudiments of how to put water behind them in a hurry and not make fuss about it.
 The vessel was the torpedo boat de- stroyer Farragut just completed by the Union Iron Works. and the occasion was the trial of her machinery by the Govern ment Board of Engineers. Without paint or furbshiug she is a beautiful piece or naval architecture, long, narrow, rak- ish." built on the lines of a knife-blade, and we'll calculated to dart through the water like a game fish. Her movement down the harbor en route to the speed course attracted the attention of people and whistles on the water front and bay, and she was given an ovation as she gracefully glided along toward the scene of her trial.
 Senator George c. Perkins, in honor of the event, organized an excursion for the benefit of the Hawaiian Commissioners and a number of prominent people ot San Francisco and Oakland, the Government tug Unadilla being secured for rhe Ccca- sion. There were present on her:
 SenGtOr CullOm and Congressman Hit of the Hawaiian COmmissioni Senator Perkins, W. H. Mills. Captain Rogers of
 
 Craig president of the Chamber of Com merce; Fl. l.. Huntington of the Southern Pacific Company; Collector of Port John P Jackson. Professor George Davidson, Judge Morrow, Captain c. c. Nelson, Pro- lessor Pritchett chief of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey Department, Washington, D. C.; J. O'B. Gum, secre- tary of the Union Iron Works Tirey L.. Ford. president of the Union League Clubi President Foster of the San Francisco and North Pacific Railway; Captain Charles Goodall. Secretary Scott of the Chamber of Commerce, Mowbray R. Dundas, May or Thomas of Oakland; President Herrtu and Secretary Craigie Sharp, of the Board of Trade Oakland; Andrea SbarbOro of the Merchants and Manufacturers As socia ton: s. c. Murphy, president First National Bank, and Judge Crawford of Santa Rosa. Congressman Barham was al the deck, but had 10 return to his hotel on account of sudden illness.
 The Unadilla left Clay-street wharf at e;45 o'clock and steamed up toward Hun ters Point to meet the war racer and join in the procession to the scene of action. Notwithstanding that the Government tug is a fast one she seemed to be very weary while endeavoring to keep in sight of the Farragut. which was apparently loafing along and economizing coal.
 While the Unadilla was making the stern chase Senator Perkins took advan-

acknowledged center and will be deemed worthy of more attention. California will now get due recognition in the halls of Congress.
 A vote of thanks to the Commissioners for their evident interest in San Francisco and her needs was rendered at the sugges- ton of Colonel Taylor.
 The concluding speech of the occasion was made by Senator Perkins. We do not want different laws in Hawaii from those in the United States he said. NO. we want the same institutions, the same tariff, the same protection to industry. We want the same immigration laws. We believe in the dignity of labor, and no more contract labor in Hawaii. Nor do we want foreign built vessels to participate in the Hawaiian carrying trade to the United States. We would AmericaniZe the islands in the broadest sense of the word"
 Last evening fully one hundred and fifty members of the Union League Club and invited guests assembled in the league rooms at the Palace Hotel, to bid wei come to the three members of the com mission and their party. Tasteful deco- rations of palms were interspersed with the American national colors. The mili- tary element was very prominent in the assemblage, fully one-fourth of those present being attired in Uncle Sam's unt-
 An address of welcome was offered in behalf of the club by General Chipman, to which response was made by Senator Cullom, who incidentally pre- sented some figures showing that each successive addition to American territory cost less than the one before. For in- stance the Louisiana purchase cost Is cents per acre. Alaska about cents per acre and Hawaii not cent Acquisitions were getting cheapi The Senator thanked the club for. it's entertainment and said he supposed that there were refreshments slowed away somewhere to round out tho evening.
 Senator Morgan followed, devoting his attention to the proposed Nicaragua ca nal and it's advantages to America, both in times of peace and of war. He be- lieved that 1t would be of direct benefit to the trade of San Francisco.
 Congressman Hit spoke the concluding words In behalf of the commission, touch- ing on general topics of interest to the merchants and other business men of the Pacific Slope.
 After the speeches an informal recep- ton followed, and many citizens present were introduced to the Commissioners. A collation. was subsequently, served in an adjoining room. |

There was a large and distinguished gathering of San Francisco's business and professional men yesterday afternoon in the Chamber of Commerce to formally welcome to the city the visiting members of the Hawaiian Commission, Senators Morgan and Cullom and Congressman Hitt
 The openning ceremonies were delayed beyond the appointed hour. 2:30 p. m.. owing to the non-arrival of Senator Nor gan, who was feeling somewhat fatigued from the exertions of the morning and was resting at the Occidental Hotel. At 2:45 word was received that he would soon appear and President Hugh Craig rapped the Chamber to order. Every seat was filled Among the hundreds present were A. w Foster, Major General Merriam, Rev. Horatio Stebbins, F. R. Dimond, Frank L. Brown, Charles M. Yates, Judge Morrow, RoIla " Watt, Captain Nelson, E. A NewhalI, J. D. Staples, c. L. Tay- Tor, Stewart Menzies, Professor George Davidson, Captain Fisher, U. s. A., and others of equal prominence. It was. in fact, a representative assembly and an air of interest and contagious enthusiasm was manifested throughout the proceed ings.
 Occupying a seat on the right of the chairman was General Francisco Ganedo, Governor of an important province or Mexico, who is spending a few days va cation in this city. He was formally intro- duced and made a brief address in Span ish, which, translated by Mexican Consul General A. F. Coney, Is as follows: Mex jeans are always glad to meet Americans. There is an evident bond of sympathy uniting the two peoples and 1t is growing with the years. Our good President Diaz has done much to foster this spirit in Mexico and to encourage it's growth. For

c. Thomson of Los Angeles, boarded fishing and pleasure schooner, the J. Will ley, and proceeded nine miles out to sea, where the master, Captain w L. Pier son, performed the ceremony of mar riage, and the young people agreed to be husband and wife.
 The young people were residents or the city of Los Angeles. and upon their re- turn from the "tugboat' marriage they lived together as husband and wife for eight days. The young woman then left Norman and refused to live with him, and, further, by the advice of her father, she declared that no marriage existed between her and the man. Then 1t was that the latter sought relief from the courts in an action to have declared legal and valid the marriage performed by the captain of the schooner at sea. In his declaration he asserted that the marriage was still in full force and effect, never having been annulled and having been consummated by reason of their having lived together eight days as husband and wife.
 The woman by her father, set up the allegation that the marriage was farce. and that the alleged ceremony was for the purpose of evading the laws of the State in which both parties lived, and consequently void. She further asked that Norman be stopped from asserting and assuming to be her husband. The lower court found In her favor and de- cided that the alleged husband was not entitled to any relief as prayed for.
 
 the decision which was concurred in by the Justices, sustains the Judgment of the lower. court, and after reviewing the facts of the case, puts his stamp of con demnation on "tugboat marriages in the following very severe language:
 Tn this case there was no license, there was no solemnization by any per son authorized by law to perform the ceremony, there was no marriage under section 1872 To recognize such a mar riage, we think, would grossly violate the spirit and letter of our statute, and be a blot upon the civilization we profess. Our conclusion rests upon the want of any authorized solemnization and would be the same if the parties were both of age"
 The far-reaching effect of this decision can readily be seen In the past few years several hundred of this class of marriages have taken place on boats from this bay and Monterey. While the parties In these ceremonies may have been actuated by proper motives, TO- mantle or otherwise, their position in so- ciety is a matter of serious question, con- sidering that not a few of the couples have established families, whose good names in the present and future Is matter of no small concern.

LOST ON A BLEAK
 INH0SPITABLE SHORE
FATE OF A PARTY OF ALASKA
 EXPLORERS.
Drowned During a Storm at the Mouth of Large But Little
 Known River.

The letter received by the Alaska Com mercial Company from Unalaska, under date of July 2S, telling of the probable death of Moravian Missionary E. Weber, wife and child, together with twelve gold hunters, members of the Columbia Ex- ploring Company, as given In The Call yesterday, Is supplemented to-day by in- teresting information regarding the re- zion where the catastrophe is reported to have occurred.
 The Kuskokwim. near the mouth of which the party is supposed to have per tshed, is the largest unknown river of Alaska. It Is believed to head near the Panama River and to be nearly one thou sand miles in length. Only few white men have ever been upon 1t to this day and they have not carried their eXplora- tons more than 600 miles up the stream. at which point 1t Is still a broad. naviga- ble river. The fact that the Kuskokwim empties into Boring Sea on an isolated coast accounts in part for the fact that 1t escaped attention from the United States coast and geodetic survey and min ing prospectors, at the time when re- searches were being pushed along the ukon and It's tributary streams. As a result there is no reliable chart of the Kuskokwinl, although it Is believed that one or more of General Merriam's eX- ploring parties will cross Alaska near the head of the Kuskokwim during the pres ent season and will obtain valuable data concerning its source. The Mahlamutes, WilO live along the lower huSKOkWlID numerous large villages, are, as q rule, inoffensive, half-starved people, who are too lazy to even catch the quantity of salmon necessary for their subsistence and are in winter often reduced to the direst extremities. It is seldom, how ever, that they are caught stealing from the few white men who frequent the coast.
 Since the Klondike excitement arose several parties of mining prospectors have been outfitted to explore the Kus- kokwim, but so far as known up to the present time the only one that reached the scene of operations was the ill-fated Columbia Exploring Company.
 For nine or ten years past the Mora vians have maintained a mission station at the mouth of the Kuskokwim and an- other at Momentrehlahogam a small native village about two hundred miles up the stream. This was. up to q few months ago, in charge of a full blooded Cherokee Indian from the United States, who went there as a Moravian mis- sionary.

The Supreme Court has struck se- were blow to "tugboat" marriages, and placed many a happy couple in posi- ton that may be embarrassing, to put the situation in it's mildest form. In brief, the Justices of the highest California tri- bunal declare this kind of marriage to be illegal and demoraiizing in its effects upon the public. The case under consid- eration comes from Los Angeles County, and by the action a young husband. as he evidently supposed himself to be, sought to have declared illegal an al leged marriage on the high seas.
