island
The river steamer Captain Weber
came alongside the Peters and all the
passengers were either transferred to
the Weber or taken from the quaran-
tine station on the island. and then
proceeded to Stockton.
The Peters was towed in sinking con-
dition to Sausalito, where she went to
the bottom in twelve feet of water.
Later on the women and others were
removed from their temporary refuge
on the island and brought to this city.
All were badly frightened but thankful
to have escaped with their lives.
|. The Czarina sustained no serious
damage, though at first it was thought
she, too, would prove a wreck. She
proceeded for a short time under her
own steam, but decided to accept the
services of a tug, and was towed to the
| Howard street dock.
The Peters is lying in an easy posi-
tion and it is believed she can be
raised, though the operation will be at
| tended with much expense.
The first news of the accident which
reached this city was much exaggera-
| ted and great alarm prevailed among
the relatives and friends of those
aboard the Peters, until the fact OF
their safety became known.
An inquiry will soon be held to fix
the blame for the disaster, which al
present is uncertain, accounts as to just
how the collision occurred being very
conflicting.

Spreckels & Bro. She is English built
| fifteen years old, and her tonnage i:

The Peters is owned by the California
Improvement and Navigation Company
| She is stern wheeler, $50 tons, and
was built in Stockton in 1889.

| Tulare Register: In the ordinary
course of affairs no Democrat would
vote for any Populist whose name now
appears on the fusion State ticket, nor
| would any Populist vote for any DEM
ocrat thereon, We're his name on
straight Democratic ticket. Those who
vote the ticket as it stands are thereby
indorsing the work of a little coterie

their own purposes. Why cry out
against bossism and then sanction the

NEW IDEAS.
San Jose Mercury: The war investi-
cation will be profitable in that it will
give the masses of the people some new
ideas in regard to the handling of
troops in camps and in the field. 1T
will emphasize the fact that something
more is needed in an officer than
knowledge of the tactics. A good
knowledge of sanitation will be worth
more to him in the future than a teen
nical knowledge of complicated evo-
lutions 1t is less showy but equally
effective.
HOW'S THIS, MR.. MAGUIRE?
San Jose Mercury: The National
Single -Taxer,'' the organ of the single
tax party in the United States, in
recent number, discussing the situation
in California declares that the Dem
ocratic plank giving to the counties
and municipal corporations the right to
change their system of taxation is 20
the single takers the one important
plank in the platform, and that tine
Republicans are right in the notion
that what candidate stands for is as
important as what the platform de-
clares for" How is that, Mr. Mcguire? :?
A CAMPAIGN SLANDER.
Marysville Appeal: One of the mean
est and most malignant things in the
present campaign is the attempt to in
lure Justice Van Fleets prospects of
| reelection TO the Supreme Court by
deliberate Justification of the opinion
he wrote for that tribunal in the Fox
case The Examiner led the attack
in this fashion, and lately repeated
| the original slander in the following
words, speaking of the same jurist:
He is the man who thinks he can
| better estimate the value Of the life of
| a poor mans child than the jury that
/ heard all the evidence. In the case of
| Loren Fox against an Oakland street
| railway company, he decided that S6-
/ 600 was more. than the value of the life
of a. poor mans child could possibly be.
The decision was an impudent en-
eroachment on the rights of a jury to
assess DANA ges, and all the special
pleading of lawyers from now until the
crack of doom will not make it other
wise
/ 1t is a we'll settled legal principle
that no jury has right to assess dam
ages beyond reasonable limits, and
nothing is more common than for
| courts of appeal to set aside verdicts
for excessive damages. Loren Fox sued
street railroad company for damages
sustained by himself for the loss of a
son, who was less than five years old.
| In all such cases the measure of dam
ages everywhere is the probable net
