san Franciscans Anxious for His
Return.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 8-Consider-
able interest is felt in various quarters
today in the anticipated arrival of the
steamer Ventura of the Oceanic line,
which vessel is due on this date from
Australia. 1t is expected that the
steamer will bring back to the city
John ID. Spreckels and his brother-in-
law, Mr.. Gibson; John A. Buck, who is
identified with Mr. Spreckels in bust
ness; Captain Matson, who has charge
of the Spreckels sailing fleet, and sew
eral other persons of prominence.
When Mr. Spreckels went to Austria
liza several months ago it was under
stood that ii was in the interests of the
Oceanic Steamship Company. Since his
departure 1t has been announced that
he had succeeded in securing a subsidy
of SSS000 from the New Zealand Gov
eminent for carrying the mails between
Sidney and San Francisco. This is one
of the reasons why Mr. Spreckels re-
turn is anXiously expected. The stock
holders of the steamship company have
been through a panic i'm the absence of
the president. The stock dropped from
par to less than half it's nominal value
and is still away down The return Of
Mr.. Spreckels may have some effect up
on its market value especially If he
brings the good news that is looked
for.

couraging Condition of Affairs.

ings amounted to SAG, S04, 325.
The showing is an Indication that

CITY OF TRENTON DISASTER.
Coroner's Jury Einds That the Fusible Plu
Rules NYer.. Not Cnmnlied With

Coroneps Jury FINDS That the Fusible Plug
Rules wer. Not Complied With.
Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 1.-If any
blame were fixed by the Jury of the
coroner ineuest into the City of Tren-
ton disaster, in which "a lives were
lost, it was upon the United States
government for not complying with the
regulations concerning fusible plugs.
The jury, so the verdict set forth, was
unable to charge criminal negligence
against any person or persons connected
with the construction or operation of
the,boiler. The findings were as fol-
lows:
"The cause of the explosion we find
was due to the crown sheet becoming
ovarheated.
"That the material and design of the
boiler were in accordance with the
form 2l0l and approved by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury in 1901.
"That the inspection of this boiler
had been as complete as the limited
force employed by the government
would permit.
''That we consider the number of
men employed by the government for
this work in this district entirely in
adequate to secure the best results land
recommend the attention OF the 8bcre-
tary OF the Treasury be drawn to the
matter, SO that remedy may be applied
as soon as possible.
"That we do not approve OF the
operation of boiler of the design and
location with bridge wall located in
the firebox in the manner employed in
this boiler, especially when using forced
blast on the fires.
THAT if such construction is ap.
proved and used we recommend that
the fusible plug should be placed in
the centre of the crown sheet trans
versely and directly over the bridge
wall.
"That the requirements oia+he United
States government rules Concerning
fusible plugs were not complied with
by the government.
'That the jury was unable, owing to
the conflicting nature of the evidence
and tho incompetence of some of the
witnesses, to charge criminal negligence
against any person or persons connected
with the construction or operation of
the boilers -
