STEAMSHIP BULGARIA.
Sighted by the Koordistan in {
Sinking Condition.

BREMEN, Feb. 1S.-The British
steamer Koordistan, Captain Simpson,
from Savannah January 9th for this
port, has arrived here, and reports that
on February 9Th, in latitude Al north
and longitude A west, she sighted the
neutrality-suspicious. line steamer Bull
garia, which was signaling that she
was in want of immediate assistance
and sinking.
The British oil tank steamer Wee
hawken and another steamer were
standing by the Bulgaria at the time.
The steering gear of the latter was
broken, and her rudder was beating
violently from side to side. The Bull
garia also had heavy list to port, her
deck being level with the water on the
port side. Her port boats had been
carried away.
The boats of the Koordistan vain1y
tried to reach the Bulgaria, but were
unable to do SO, owing to the heavy
weather prevailing. The Koordstan
stood beside the disabled vessel for
twenty-eight hours, but lost sight of
her during a hurricane, which was ac-
companied by hail, on February 9Th.
1t was evident to those on board the
Koordistan that the machinery Of the
Bulgaria was disabled.
They added that everything was quiet
on board her, and there was no panic,
but everyone wore a life belt.

HOWARD BANKRUPT.
The San Jose Fruit Man Files q
Petition in Insolvency.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1S.-Edward
E. Howard of the Howard Fruit Com
pany of San Jose to-day filed a petit
ton in insolvency. He admits an in
debtedness of $151 ,440, but the Union
Savings Bank of San Jose has disputed
claims against Howard for 100000.
1t was given out at the time of the
failure of the bank that the loans to
Howard caused the collapse of the
bank. Howard, in a statement at
tached to the petition, alleges that in
May, 1898, he informed the President
of the bank that he was about to go
into bankruptcy. but the bank Presi-
dent argued against such action, and
finally released Howard of all but ST.
coo of the Indebtedness. Howard claims
that the new certificates are now de-
posted, with a San Francisco bank, but
that he has not seen them.
Ho' ards outstanding book accounts
amount TO $40, 600. and he has received
none ofrfhe proceeds from the ship
ment of $50 carloads of fruit to the
Eastern markets.
Howard's heaviest creditors are S. A.
Moulin, of which firm Howard claims
to be a member. They owe him $1,000,
and e. e. Thomas, the San Jose man
who committed suicide two weeks ago
in this city, owes him $4,000.

Z hSS0O ny GAAC A>sAAAACSA q tAAs
BERLIN, Feb. 1S.-The meat inspec-
ton bill passed by the Bundesrath on
February 10Th provides for an expert
inspection inland before and after
slaughtering cattle, hogs, sheep, goats
and horses, excepting what are killed
for domestic consumption. This is re-
garded as only an Agrarian comprom-
Use.
The bill is considered to provide the
minimum meat inspection required
throughout the Empire, leaving to the
Separatists the question of adding
other features besides what are con-
tanned in the Imperial bill.
Emperor William has pardoned Henry
Tiedemann of New York, a German
American who deserted from the Prus-

in Germany, and was court martialed
and sentenced to several years. impris-
onment, although the cffense was COM
mitted before he went to America, and
he therefore was not amenable to the
treaty provisions. The American EN-
bassy, however, made representations,
with happy results.

ANeLO-AMERIcAN CONFERENCE.
BRITISH ANXIOUS AS TO ITS
OUTCOME.
The United States Charged With
Being Responsible for the
Hitches in Negotiations.

LONDON, Feb 1S.-Telegrams from
Washington reporting that the Anglo
American Commission is encountering
serious head seas are followed here
with much anxiety, as the opinion pre-
vailsl here that the future of the Anglo
American entente largely depends on
the success of the present negotiations.
The Speaker voices the general feel
ing by saying that the news regarding
the commission is very disquieting.
The Saturday Review" as usual,
finds the United States is entirely re-
sponsible for the bitches in the negotia-
lions. The Anglo-American Commits
sion has been struggling to arrive at
an agreement, but the process has not
thus far been characterized by an over
whelming desire on the part of America
to deal generously with Canada. 1t
will not be surprise to those who
know the character of the Washington
politician, if the report that a failure
is practically assured proves to be true.
The Saturday Review" has another
hasty comment with reference to the
resolutions of United States Senator Nc
Emery in regard to the Philippines,
which the paper declares is mere time
serving for the Senate to pass. This
resolution" the Review" continues, rs
simply the outcome Of maneuver to
secure the necessary vote to adopt the
Paris treaty of peace. The reputation
Of President McKin1ey's Government is
indeed likely to disappear altogether, in
view of the War Office maladministra-
ton. 1t is astounding scandal to find
officials who are responsible for the
gross irregularities and mismanage-
ment of the war carefully whitewashed,
while a plain dealing soldier like Gem
eral Miles is discredited.''

OAKLAND, Feb. 1S.-An angry wife,
Jealous of the attentions her husband
paid to other women, visited a horrible
revenge on her sleeping spouse to-day.
She procured a bottle of carbolic acid
and poured it over his fece and eyes
while he was asleep and unless provl-
dence is kind indeed John Montgom
cry, the husband, will not look upon
the fair sex again. His face is fright
fully burned, and the eyesight will in
all probability be completely destroyed.
After doing the gruesome work the
woman poured the remaining contents
of the bottle down her throat, but there
was not. enough of the fiery liquid left
to kill her.
Yesterday Mrs. Montgomery found her
spouse in the company of the daughter
of a saloonkeeper, and al scene followed,
but later a partial reconciliation was
effected, but the injustice ranked the
woman SO greatly that she resolved to
kill her husband or disfigure him, with
the result recorded above.
No complaint has been filed against
tie wife, and she may escape punish
ment for her crime.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1S.-The
Supreme Court has taken under adj
