WILL NOT STAND FOR ELEC-
TION DAY SCANDALS.
The Same Ballot Officers Will Hold
Their Offices Until After the
Election of Next
Year.

Registrar Buggy is decidedly warm I'M
der his neck linen at the attempt by the
Election Commissioners to saddle upon
him the responsibility of the disgraceful
scenes and drunkenness that character
lied south-of- Market street voting booths
on election day.
A breach has opened between the Regis
trar's office and the Board of Commission
ers, and Mr.. Buggy proposes to see that
the blame shall be put upon those to
whom it belongs.
The delay in getting in returns on the
State ticket, the frequent visits of patrol
wagons and police to different districts
and the replacing by the Registrar of
drunken election officers by sober and
reputable citizens have set the town and
a lot of defeated candidates talking, and
a good many are prone to charge the
scandal of it to Mr.. Biggy's account.
Truth is that the Election Commission
is solely to blame. When the question
of selecting election boards came up be-
fore it Mr.. Buggy, Major Mclaughlin,

The whaling fleet is rapidly getting into
winter quarters. 1t will be widely differ
ent from the season spent off the Macken-
zie River and Point Barrow. This year
the vessels will lie snugly at anchor in
Oakland Creek. AT the present time there
are over there the barks Andrew Hicks,
Gayhead and Lydia and the steamers
Belvedere, Jeanette, Karluk and William
Baylies while the Balaena John and
Winthrop, Grampus, Narwhal, Thrasher
and Wanderer will follow them in day
or two.
The banks Alice Knowles, Horatio. Cali
fornia and Charles w. Morgan will not
go into winter quarters, but are fitting out
for another cruise in the southern seas
and the Sea of Okhotsk. Their cargoes of
oil have all been discharged on the How
ard street bulkhead and 1t will be some
time before all the barrels have been
carted away. The catch Of sperm oil this
year was not up to the standard and in
consequence the price of that article is
on the advance. The four vessels named

peared and pleaded with the individual
members to for once follow plain written
law and make their selections from the
assessment rolls The commission con-
sidered and gave no answer, and five days
before election day sent some 5000 men in
to the Registrar to be sworn in as cleo
ton officers.
There were a whole lot of good men, but
there were more of the other sort who
had been gathered in from every section
of the city Instead of being electors of
the districts to which they were assigned
for duty as the law provides, they were
distributed wherever they could be fitted
in The result was helpless inebriety and
badly muddled up returns, and Mr.. Buggy
respectfully declines to stand for the
shame of it.
Registrar is that under the law these
same officers will hold office until after
next years election and he is puzzling his
brains for a scheme to Gust them and
prevent a repetition of the corruptneSs OF
this years fight.
The Grand Jury is looking into the mat
ter and Mr.. Buggy has hope that measures
looking to decency will be taken.

Cohn will run the Alta and Annie and Bob
Spear will run the Gazelle and Norwood.
With six vessels on the run, the crowd

The repairing of the British ship Bal
moral will probably be done at the Union
Iron Works. 1t will be remembered that
she was in collision with the Glenericht
off the Horn, and the captains wife was
drowned. The Glenericht was so badly
damaged that she had to put back to
Monteyideo, while the Balmoral had her
starboard quarter stove in, the cabin
wrecked number of the plates forward
denied her headgear carried away and
the running rigging badly damaged. The
Union Iron Works bid has been submit
ted to the owners in England, and IL they
are satisfied the work of repairing her
will begin at once.
The steamer ]. d. Peters was got a lit
tie farther up on the beach in Richard
son Bay yesterday. One of the big planks
under the vessel broke and retarded the
work little, but Superintendent Corcoran
thinks that by Tuesday or Wednesday
next the vessel will be afloat. The bodies
of the six Chinese that were recovered
from the wreck by the divers came over
on the Sausalito ferry-boat yesterday, and
were at once removed to Chinatown.

time between Chief Wharfnger Root and
Lieutenant Buhner of the revenue cutter
Golden Gate this morning.
The whole trouble is over the berth oc-
cupied by the cutter. She is undergoing
some repairs and was in consequence
moved from her usual dock at the foot or
Powell street to Lombard street wharf.
Now Lieutenant Buhner tied her up, in
the new berth, in such a way as to spoil
two berths. In consequence when the brig
Harriet G. came along the place assigned
her was too short by six feet.
The matter was referred to the chief
wharfinger, and he went to Lombard
street wharf and asked the lieutenant to
move his vessel back six feet in order to
make room for the brig. Buhner refused
point blank to move his vessel, and said
furthermore that he was going to remain
where he was for nine days. In vain Mr..
Root pointed out that he was impeding
the commerce of the port. Buhner was
there and there he was going to stay.
Chief Wharf1nger Root gave up the
contest for the time being and re-
ported to the Harbor Commissioners.
That body instructed him to serve
a written notice on the VesseI TO
move in ten minutes and if the order was
disobeyed to arrest the lieutenant and
move the Golden Gate with tug hired at
Uncle Sans expense. The order was
Police was detailed by Captain Dunleavy
to make the arrest, and Captain Hall was
taken along to handle the revenue cutter
while she was being moved.
When Lombard street wharf was
reached Lieutenant Buhner had fed. leav
ing word that he would be back at 8
O'Clock this morning. AS Chief Wharfin-
ger Root did not want to get the men left
in charge of the cutter into trouble he al
lowed the matter to rest and will settle
the question with Buhner to-day.
The fine for refusing to move when or
dered by the chief wharfinger is $500 or

get the owners to remove them. Last
Thursday he notified the merchants that
If the goods were not moved by yesterday
at noon he would put them in the ware
house. The merchants practically told
the Assistant Chief Wharfinger he was
bluffing, but they changed their minds
when they saw the warehouse teams be-
gin to move the stuff away yesterday af-
ternoon. There was a wild rush to the
Chiefs office to secure time until Monday,
but il was too late. and now they will
have to pay warehouse charges. The
Chief says it is about time the practice of
making warehouses out of wharves was
stopped.
Captain Bennett, superintendent of the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company. who
lost a couple of his toes by having his
foot crushed by the steamer Corona last

There are interesting regulations for
the guidance of the body by whom the
choice is made. When the time arrives
for the pope to answer the summons of
death, the cardinals who are in Rome
at the time are hastily summoned and
assembled in the death chamber The
papal chamberlain takes charge of the
Vatican when the reigning pope has
breathed his last. Then follows the ly-
ing in state and the impressive funeral.
The election of a successor is con-
Quoted with the utmost secrecy, and,
If 1t were not improper to suggest such
a thing, it might be said that the rules
were prompted by suspicion that cleo
pioneering tricks were likely to be prac-
ticed by the religious dlgnitaries who
choose one of their number to become
the head of the church.
After the funeral, the cardinals, sew
enty in number, or as many of them
as can reach Rome IN time, assemble
in the Vatican. When they have all
entered the room where the voting is
TO take place every entrance is closed
by bricklayers and carpenters, with
the exception of a small door by which
food and drink can be handed in Out
side this door an attendant is on duty
night and day, while the voting is go
ing on and no one is allowed to enter.
The cardinals sleep in cells provided
in the apartment.
Every morning mass is said, and aft
er mass ballot is taken. If no agree
ment has been reached the cardinals
have breakfast. At 2 o'clock another
ballot is taken, and If still they have
rea ched no agreement the voting ceases
for the day. This goes on until the
cardinals are agreed.

minds upon one of their number at the
start the election can take place by a
proposition and unanimous approval
which is called inspiration If thew can

is called compromise.

houses on the opposite side of the park
as well. Mclean is the only man
know here who has made a fortune out
of cemetery. He bought, ten years
or more ago, the old Holmead burying
ground, in the northwest part of the
city, paying $4,000 for it. This was a
bagatelle compared with the present
value of this property. There are mag
niflcent houses all about it and nothing
in the neighborhood sells for less than
50 and upwards per square foot.
A Big Paper Deal.
John r. Mclean has made big money
in newspapers as well as in real estate.
1 am told that w. r. Hearst paid him
more than he spent upon the New York
Morning Journal for that property, and
the Cincinnati Enquirer, which he has
owned for years, is better than Klon-
dixie gold mine. Mclean was put to
work in the Enquirer Office after he
was through with his education, part
of which was gotten in Europe. He
began as an office boy and worked up
through the different gradations until
he became business manager. He de-
veloped a remarkable nose for news,
and he is one of the best judges of
news in the United States.
He manages the Enquirer himself,
though he lives here at Washington,
and has to send most of his orders by
telegraph. He has never reduced the
price of the paper, and today he gets
five cents for every copy throughout

A clerk in a boarding house seldom

dollars more. He had his kitchen wall

pressing toward Rome from AL quarters
to congratulate the man upon whom
the attention Of the world is concen-
trated this year, as last year 1t was

Leo XIII. as Pontiff.
Leo XIII. was born in Capineto, in
one OF the papal states, March 2. 1870
His name is Joachim Vincent Count
Pecci. He comes of a noble family,
and has been highly educated. He
locks every inch the man who should
be at the head Of great religious Or
der. AS he officiates in the big basilica
or in the Sistine chapel, he seems like
a being who belongs to the world of
ethereal things. Thin and pale, with
piercing eyes, the ascetic life he has
led gives him the appearance of being
chiseled out of marble.
White and old as he looks, however,
there is a magnetism about the man
that inspires respect, almost awe, and
makes one wonder how a man so old
and so much like the statues that are
around him can possess the remarka BILE
vitality that is shown in every move
ment Of the tall form.
If you are fortunate enough to Sc
cure an audience with him, you will
find that Leo XIII. is one Of the best
read men of the. day, and one of the
quickest to grasp the fine points Of an
International question and be ready
with remedy for the evil that there
