4 FIERCE GALE
Sweeps Over San Francisco Bay Sinking
One Vessel.


San Francisco, March 10.-A fierce
gale swept over the bay last night. The
wind blew steadily from the north un-
til o'clock this morning, causing ships
in the stream to drag their anchors
and those at the piers to wear their
sides against the piles, carrying away
rails, not only damaging themselves
but water front property. The steamer
Eureka lies at the bottom of the har-
bor Her main deck is a wreck and it
will cost several thousand dollars to
raise her. Hundreds of people crowded
about the Broadway bulkhead and
gazed at the strange sight of wrecked
passenger vessel within a stones throw
of Market street. The gale subsided
into brisk northwesterly wind. The
early ferryboats had a hard time steer
ing against the wind and tide and
many of the passengers suffered from
NAL de mer. The bay was filled with
wreckage of docks, scows, schooners,
derriclss and RATS. Moorings We're torn
loose and iron mooring had about as
much effect in holding ships at North
End wharves as would ten-penny nails.
The damage along the front from How
ard street north will amount in round
figures including damage to shipping
to $500, 900.

KEEP PACE fifth RUSSIA.
London Morning Papers Urge British
Government to This.

London Morning Papers Urge British
Government to This.
London, March 1.-THE morning pa
pers all urge the government to keep
pace with Russia, but no alarm is eX-
pressed, since it will take Russia years
to build the new vessels. The Stand
ard says "Russias action is probably
directed as much against Germany and
Japan as against England, and 1t might
perhaps become necessary for the gov
ernment to assert it's right of pre-
emption over ships now building in
England for foreign governments, but
only as a last resource. 1t would be
prudent, however, to fit out the old
battleships which are sound In hull"
The Times says: The speech of the
lord Of the admiralty (Mr. Goschen) is
of the sort of language British minis
ters seldom use" With reference to
the Russian rescript the Times says:
"The whole balance of free funds in
the treasury would not thus suddenly
be appropriated, leaving the equilib-
rum of the budget to the chances of
the uncertain future without serious
cause

tion and repair just passed on aggre-
gates $2500,000 identical with the esti-
mates. This includes about $4,000, a
material increase, for improved ma
chinery at the shops. The amount al
so is exclusive of the specific appro-
priations to the various construction
plants, ETC. There is also a horizontal
appropriation proposed of $4,000 to
each of the yards except to the Puget
sound station in lieu of the general es-
innate Of 100000. The estimates for
the naval academy at Annapolis go
through practically unchanged, author
izing among other things the much
wanted repair of the laundry plant.
There was a long discussion in COM
mittee to-day over the additional land
wanted for the Port Royal, S. c., sta
ton, and attention was called to some
legal points involved in the question
but an appropriation of 100000 was
finally allowed.

PLAGIARISM IS CHARGED
REPRESENTATIVE JOHNSON'S BIT
TER ATTACK ON SEC'Y. BLISS.

During Debate on the Free Home Clause
of the Indian Appropriation Bill Mr..
johnson Accuses the Cabinet Member of
Using Argument and Words of James
Buchanan.
Washington, March 10.--After a de-
bate in the house which lasted more
than five hours, the senate amendment
to the Indian appropriation bill provid-
ing for the free entry of ceded Indian
lands was to-day non-concurred in by
a vote of SO to 1856! The friends of the
free home clause made a gallant strug
gle, but they met the opposition Of
some of the prominent leaders on the
republican side, Messrs. Dingley, Gros-
venor, Dalzell and Payne, and they
were further weakened by the fact that
many of the friends of the proposition
were alienated by the belief that as
drawn the amendment would work in
jury to the agricultural colleges of the
country.
The debate was very spirited on both
sides. Mr.. Johnson, rep. of North Da-
kota, created sensation by charging
that Secretary Bliss in his opposition
to the free home clause not only pro-
cured his argument, but actually
plagiarized his language from the mes
sage of James Buchanan vetoing the
homestead bill before the war. He as
serted that the secretary's interests
and sympathies were bounded by the
Allegheny mountains and that as a
matter of fact he had never been west
of Buffalo. Mr. Bailey, the democratic
leader, announced that he would vote
for the senate amendment because he
stood committed to 1t by the Chicago
platform. AS an original proposition
he admitted he was against giving free
homes to the people. The senate
amendment for the ratification of the
Seminole treaty was also non concur
red in and sent to conference. The
action of the house to-day sends the
bill back to conference with non-con-
currence in all the senate amendments.

examined all the houses in the riot dis
trict to-day. They found twenty five
persons suffering from the plague and
some rioters. The authorities believe
that the heads of the Julai community

plague reasons. 1t is understood that
a general rising and murder Of Euro

morrow. The town is now quiet but
the patroling continues.

THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY
DISPUTE BETWEEN UNITED ST.AT TIES
AND ENGLAND SETTLED.

Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British AM
bassador at Washington, Has So In
formed the Canadian Ministry-Decision
of Much Importance to This Country--
Canada Regards Arrangement with Dis
favor.
New York, March 1O.-The Press
has the following from Ottawa: Sir
Julian Pauncefpte, the British am
bassador, has informed the Canadian
ministry officially that he has arranged
a convention with the United States
whereby the Alaskan boundary dis
pute has been settled. Under the terms
of the convention the British govern
ment has conceded the claim Of the
United States that the three marine
leagues should be measured from the
shore Of the mainland and should pro-
ceed along the shores of the inlets
which are thus recognized as arms OF
the ocean and not as rivers. The con-
tention of the British and Of the Cana-
dian governments was that the three
league limit should beginson the ocean
ward side of the island and that the
delimitation line should be run across
the inlets and not follow their Shores
These inlets are numerous and extend
into the mainland a great distance
and the decision therefore is Of much
Importance to the United States. The
United States has agreed to the Brit-'
ish retaining the boundary on the linn
it of the Chilkoot Pass and the White
Pass because in the Russo British
agreement OF 1923 the line Of demarca-
tion was fixed as one running along
the tops of the mountains. The de-
cision, while not entirely unexpected
by the cabinet, is regarded with dis1
favor It was understood that the Brit
ish government was irritated at the
forwardness Of the Canadian ministry,
but it was not thought that the sur
render would be SO sweeping as it is.

Board of Finance Meeting,

The board Of finance met last night
Iy bills heard Alderman Chillingworth,
who appeared before the board to ex-
plain why he did not vote for the res
olution to issue bonds to pay for the
Chapel street drawbridge, the bridge
over West river at Derby avenue, and
Willow street bridge. The board had
not yet received an opinion from Cor
poration Counsel Ely concerning the
salary of the members of the board of

THE PArR1or1o Foor GUARD.
Drill Tonight and Monday Night and Ii
Ready to Go to War.

Ready to Go to War.
The Second Company Governors s
Foot Guard will hold a regular drill at
the armory this evening and will hold
a special drill next Monday night.
Major Brown, the commander of the
company, said last night that the spe-
cial drill would be held Monday night
because at that time the company
could have full floor room at the ar
mory. 1t is said, however, that since
the last annual banquet of the COM
pany, held only a short time ago, the
company has been fired with an un-
usual amount of patriotism and de-
sires to drill up so that in the event
of war it might stand in the fore front
of the military organizations of the
country in point of excellence in drill,
as it now does in other respects. 1t
is also said that Major Brown has a
plan, in case of war, to organize a regi-
ment, with such members of the COM
pany as care to enlist as nucleus,
to go to the front, the organization to
ba known as the Connecticut Cover
nor's Foot Guard regiment. There is
no doubt but that the patriotic
speeches at the banquet. those of Major
Brown and those OF the invited guests,
reused in the members of the company
spirit of patriotism, if possible, ever
stronger than that which has always
burned in the breasts of members of
the old organization and that all the
members are ready and have so signi-
fled their willingness and desire to offer
their services as an organization to aid
in the national defence in the event of
war being declared against Spain.
