The San Francisco call., 1899-10-25
KING GEORGE OF
TANNING ISLAND
DROPS IN AGAIN
Here on the Schooner
Eliza Miller.

George Greig, King of the Tanning
group. arrived from his capital on Wash
ington Island yesterday. He came up on
the schooner Eliza Miller, making the
voyage in thirty-two days, and reports
that very few changes have taken place
in his domain since he was last in San
Francisco. Washington is now the most
productive island of the group. The cocoa
nut trees on the other islands are not
bearing as well as they did five years ago
and new groves are being planted There
has been very little sickness in the group
and the natives are contented and happy.
King Greigs son and heir was educated
in San Francisco, but he did not come up
with his father on this occasion. Next
year, however, when the copra ship
comes to San Francisco, Prince Greig
will pay the city a visit. The Eliza Mil
, Ter brought up 165 tons Of copra and will
take back a supply of provisions for the
islanders.
The little schooner Sadie arrived from
Kodiak yesterday after a passage Of
twenty-five days She is only four tons
burden. and yet two men navigated her
over that 1850 miles of stormy sea and
reached the Golden Gate without serious
mishap. Captain Lane says he and his
companion left Kodiak on September 30.
For a week they had good weather and
then it began to blow. The little schooner
stood UP to II WELL however, and they
came out of the storm without any dam
age. Off the mouth Of the Columbia
River IL blew a hurricane and the little
boat lay to a drag anchor without a stitch
Of canvas on her for twenty-four hours.
Captain Lane considers her as stanch a
little craft as ever was built, and SAYS he
would not be afraid to go around the
world in her.
The Hawaiian sugar crop is nearly all
marketed now and many of the fleet are
returning to San Francisco in ballast
The barkentine S. G.. Wilder came up in
eleven days, the best run Of the season
The bark Annie Johnson came up in thir-
teen and the barkentine Omega in six
teen days. The British bark Auldgirth
made the run from IQuique in sxty-two
days and the British ship William Tillie
from Newcastle, Australia, in seventy
six days. There were sixteen arrivals yes
terday and all of them had fair weather
passages. The Umatilla was a few hours
late, owing to a strong head wind that
lasted all the way from F1attery to San
Francisco.
The Occidental and Oriental Steamship
via Honolulu and Yokohama yesterday.
She took away every passenger she could
accommodate and every pound of freight
she could carry. There were 98 cabin
passengers, 666 Chinese and 2S Japanese
IN the Steerage and 39 Chinese who were
deported by the courts. The exodus of
Chinese is due to the desire of the Mon
golians to spend the new year holidays at
home. Among the cabin passengers was
Bishop Potter Of New York who is going
to Honolulu and thence to Manila on g.
visit. Mrs. 2. T. Osborne, wife of the Pa
cifc Mail Company's agent at Yokohama,

alton of a Federal Executive Department

John NJ. Wright, for the committee on
jettieS and dredging, announced that his
committee would have practically nothing
to do until the dams were built, for which
Congress has already appropriated
$500 ,000
Hon. A Caminetti made a lengthy re-
port on the matter Of the dams referred
to by Mr.. Wright's committee. He spoke
hopefully of the forthcoming report of
the Government engineers and stated that
Major Heuer, who had charge of the work,
indicated to him that the engineers would
approve the recommendations of the Cali
fornia Debris Commission. He said:
1.-The most sanguine friend of the rivers
and the valley must certainly admit that
in all justice and for the benefit of the
mutual interests affected, litigation now
pending should be stayed to await the
promised report. 1t will be time then for
the anti-debris people to proceed If the
proposed plans are unsatisfactory to
them, but on the contrary should 1t be
found that entire and full protection to
the river and adjacent lands Is the basic
principle upon which the impounding
works are to be constructed. then the har-
mony which promised to bless the peo-
pie of the mines and the valley will be an

were but twenty-one hungry miners in
the convention. The Judge was astounded
at the result but he was equal TO the
emergency, and in ringing speech
turned the tide in favor of the feed. and
had nearly every delegate in the hall
shouting for the spread before he had
finished.
''Shame on California" he said, "f she
cannot keep up her reputation for liber-
ality and hospitality at this time and en-
tertain these guests or ours as they de-
serve as the representatives of the great
est industry of our nation. Boys, get up
on your hind legs and attend this banquet
Tonight" And the boys stood up,
every mothers son of them.
Following this President Neff called
Senator Perkins to the platform. AS the
gentleman arose from the body Of the
assemblage and started for the stage he
was greeted by mighty cheer. He said:
II did not come here to talk but to
greet my old friends. Like most Of you,
1 have spent many of my days polishing a
drill or running tunnel TO vein that
pitched the wrong way. He eulog1Zed
the miners, stating that through their
work the credit of the country had been
placed on a footing equal TO that of any
nation of the world. He congratulated
the association for the good work 1t had
done in the past eight years in benefiting
and developing the great industry in
which its members were interested.
Speaking Of the miners determination to
have created the Secretaryship of Mines
and Mining, he said:
''It IS all right for you to fly your kites
high, but do not think there is any prob
ability of such a position being created
for many years to come. You may secure
a Commissioner Of Mines and Mining,
which will bring about the very object in
view. I speak advisedly. The CONNER
cial interests of the nation have been try
ing for fifteen years to get Secretary of
Commerce, without success. There are
already too many heads in the Cabinet.
I hope this convention will take prac-
teal view of the situation and take what
it can get. With you I rejoice in Califor-
MAS resources. No one loves to sing her
praises better than I, and no one takes
more glory in it; but we must remember
that there are other great States. The
coal and iron industries demand recog-
milton, and we must work with them If
we expect to accomplish anything in the
direction indicated. We cannot be a COM
munity within ourselves.
''If Judge Searls and had our way, the
miners Of the State would have every
thing they asked for. They deserve moth
ing but prosperity and happiness, and I
would like to see them go down the in
cline of their lives on a pathway strewn
with roses. I never forget that am your
servant and all that I have or expect to
get I owe to the good people Of Cali
fornia"

Evidence in the sensational Hite divorce

bellicose demonstrations of the interested
attorneys in the trial of the case yester-
day morning and afternoon. Every vari-

was all of blackmail, cowardice, pistols

II NlSlung delegates from the States
west Of the Rocky Mountains will
y complete the business of their an
nual session to-day. The most i'm
portant matter which the convention
will dispose of will be the election Of
a new board Of officers, which was post
poned from yesterdays session. The
reading and disposal of the'reports of the
various standing committees occupied
much of the time of the conventions
second day. From the miners point Of
view, these reports were of more than
passing interest, and they were instruc-
tive as well to every Californian and, in
fact, every resident of the West.
Several able addresses were made,
among these being the remarks of Sen
ator George G. Perkins, abounding as
they did in "reminiscences of the early
days of mining in the Golden State.
The subject of the conservation of flood
waters developed a difference of opinion
between the Miners Association and the
National Irrigation Congress, represented
by George II. Maxwell. Mr. Maxwell
Yehemently protested against the move
ment toward local action in the matter,
arguing that If the miners would be pa
tient the National Government would give
the assistance sought, but that If the
States did not pull together the great ma
tiOnal irrigation agitation was in danger of
falling through. The convention was not
in harmony with Mr. Maxwell, and among
the resolutions adopted was one in direct
opposition to his plea.
President Neff opened the proceedings
of yesterdays session promptly at the
appointed hour. The first announcement
was an invitation to the delegates from
Henry T. and Irving NJ. Scott TO visit the
Union Iron Works and enjoy an excursion
on the bay as their guests. The offer was
accepted with thanks by the convention.
The miners will leave Mission pier No 2
in tugboats at 2 o'clock this afternoon,
and after inspecting the iron works will
cruise about the bay until about 5 oclock.
Judge Searls suggested giving q banquet
at the Palace to the visiting delegates.
and at his request the chairman asked
all those who would attend to arise. A
few stragglers stood up, and when noses
were counted it was found that there
