NARROW ESCAPE OF THE WEE0TT Her Smokestack Got Red Hot and Set Fire to
 the Woodwork.
More Tales of the Cruelty Prac- ticed on American Deep
 Water Ships.
The Captain of the TilHe E. Starbuck Compelled to Pay His Men of
 at Honolulu.

The twenty-six passengers who left here on the Weeott for Eureka had an exciting experience of 1t on the way up the coast. Coal happened to be very scarce here prior to her de- parture, and the owner of the vessel had to take whatever they could get. The stuff which was put into the Wee ott's bunkers was full of sulphur, which not only burned out the fire bars, but also made the smokeStack red hot and nearly set the ship on fire. Men were kept on watch nearly all the time throwing water on the woodwork in order to prevent it from breaking out into flames. The captains state room and the social hall were uninhab- itable the greater part of the voyage, and passengers had to remain in their rooms or promenade the decks in con- sequence. The captains cabin is just forward of the smokestack, and the woodwork of 1t was burned clear through in some places. The social hall Is just aft the smokestack, and 1t was in an incipient stage of com bustion almost from the start. Several sections of the smoKestack were burned completely out and had to be replaced before the vessel could again put to sea- The Weeott arrived from Eureka yesterday, but on this occasion the voyage was an uneventful one. as a supply of good steaming coal had been procured before leaving for San Francisco.

sending her to the post favorite. Thorpe took the lead from Allie Belle with Napamax soon after the start, and kept her in front to the end, leading the fa- vorite out alength, and tripping the dis tance off in 1:21. Sloan was a close third, with St. Calatine
 In the two-mile event, taken by the black horse, Judge Denny, the worlds record, held jointly by Ten Broeck and Newton, was shattered, the son of Fon- so, carrying 105 pounds, going the route in 3:2612. It was a hard-fCught battle, though, Schreiber's colt, Marplot, with S3 pounds up, setting great pace and contesting every foot of ground at the end, finally being beaten three or four lengths. The winner, an II to 20 fa- vorite, WIS ridden by Charley Thorpe. while Marplot had little Johnny Woods up Collins and Dick Behan, the only other starters, were beaten off.
 The muchly touted Chihuahua was finally given another trial in the open ing event at six furlongs, with big field of fourteen facing the barrier. Notwithstanding the heavy play on the gelding, he receded in the betting from 8 to 9 Clawson got him away from the post badly, and, though he rushed him to the fore the first three furlongs, was unplaced at the end. Morinel, a 15 to 1 shot, ridden by Spencer, headed the bunch the last furlong, ana, In a drive, led Good Friend out half a length. Blarney Stone was a close third.
 The two-year-old event, at three and one-half furlongs, had very farcical termination. Saintly opened a pro- nounced choice, but receded to ' to 5, the wise play being confined chiefly to the Burns 6 Warehouse entry, Odd Eyes, which was played from 31s down to to l. In false breakaway Thorpe, on Odd Eyes, Conley on Buena Ven tura and Spencer astride Magdalenas, ducked the barrier and raced pell mell to the stretch before pulling up. Saint ly, the first choice, then won easily from Buena Ventura. Foxey, 50 to shot, finished In the show.
 Tod Sloan had the leg up on Lincoln IT. in the final purse event, over a mile and his mount ruled to fa- vorite in the ring. Paul Griggs, the gray horse, was the warm one, his odds being forced down from to to g to 5.

The Oceanic Steamship Company's steamer Australia arrived from Hon. olulu yesterday with very large car go, principally sugar, but not many cabin passengers. The crew were very much disappointed when they heard that the Zealandia was going on the island run and that the Australia was going to run from San Francisco to Dyea and Skaguay. Purser Mo- Combe and Dr. Soule are the only two or the AuStraliaS crew who will be transferred to the Zealandia. All the others will remain by the ship.
 Among the steerage passengers on the Australia was E. H. Latimer of the American ship Tillie B. Starbuck. Dur ing the voyage of the vessel from New castle, Australia, to Honolulu, it is all legged the first and second mates ill., treated the sailors. The men were ropes ended without cause. Some of them were knocked down and kicked, and many of them had frequent intro auctions to the belaying pin. When the Starbuck reached Honolulu the men laid the matter before the United States Consul, and he held that the men had been brutally treated. All who wished were given permission to draw their pay and quit the ship, and in consequence nearly all the sail ors left. Latimer. as soon as he got his money, took ship for San Francis co, and is on the lookout for another vessel where he will get fewer kicks and cuffs.
 There seems to be an epidemic of cruelty on the high seas on American ships bound for Hawaii just now. Dur ing the past month the United States Consul has been appealed to in several instances and on each occasion he has ceESured the captain and officers and ordered them to pay the men off.
 Steamboat men do not seem to know a good thing when they possess it. At the present time there are actually not enough vessels to handle the promised klondike trade, and yet rate war has begun. Hitherto each passenger has been allowed 150 pounds of baggage, but the agents of the Humboldt are now allowing each passenger 500 pounds. The agents of the Dirigo are not to be beaten, and they also are allowing each passenger 800 pounds of baggage. Passengers by the National City and Albion are only allowed l5O hounds cf baggage
 The passenger accommodation on the bark Rufus E. Wood, which will prob ably be the first vessel to get away for St. Michael, Is rapidly filling up. A party of eight from Chicago secured their accommodation yesterday, wiring their passage money to the Alaska-Yu- kon Transportation Company. It will be known as the Morrison party, and will be composed of F. s. Morrison. M. c. Anderson, A. J. Patch, M. l.. Pot man and J. L.

on Patent Medicines Lifted.
 Spain has at last concluded to pick up her doll rags and leave. His kingletts, AlphonsO the Several, has a whole lot less to be king about since the protocol was signed. Mir. Sagasta, the kings hired man, did all he could to raise the price of islands, but at last gave us the whole bunch for twenty millions. As soon Us this is paid pre- sume we can take the mortgage of our patent medicines. I am glad this is see .he kings mamma worry about lot of sunburned citizens wrapped up in castOff potato sacks, who would Ln- doubtedly, if invited to an elaborate function, drink out of the finger bowl and wipe their fingers in their hair and whiskers. If these garlic masticating guitar experts had given Admiral Ger vera washboard he could have ltil- ized his old tubs to great deal better advantage, and Spain would have been wearing clean linen instead of limping up and down back alley with hand kercbief full of sob juice. Of course, it isn't any affair of mine, but I can't help thinking that while these Span iards were looking up tree for sC,uir- rels they stumbled over bear.
