SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 18.-Produots
of Alaska valued at 100000 were brought
to Seattle as the cargo of a single vessel
by the Senator, Captain James B. Patter-
son, which arrived from the north to-day.
Fish and fish products made up the entire
shipment. There were 37,215 cases of sal
mon from Petersburg, Girard Point and
Sitka Bay canneries, $500 cases of fish
guano and $50 barrels of fish oil from the
KfliSnoo fisheries.
Returning, the Senator got aground on
q rocky bottom at the north entrance to
Wrangle Narrows, bending several plates
on the starboard side forward. She hung
fast about twenty minutes and then
hauled herself off. While the springing
OF the plates did not cause a leak it may
later be necessary for the vessel to go
into drydock.

Brisk Fight Occurs at
Official Meeting in

Chairman Of Supervisors and
County Clerk Come to
Blows.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

STOCKTON, Nov. 1&-As result of an
Outstanding feud of a political nature.
| aggravated by a discussion in the board
to-day over a contract, Orrin S. Hender-
son, chairman of the Board of Supervis-
ors, and Otto. Grunsky, County Clerk,
came to blows
In the course of a reply to remarks
made by Supervisor Knight Grunsky
passed structures upon the board and par
ticularly on the chairman, who, in turn
resented the remarks. The two hurled all
legations uncomplimentary in nature, and
each called into question the official con-
duct of the other.
Grunsky stood behind desk condemning
the board and its methods Suddenly
Henderson entered the room and stood
/ Dehlnd the railing in the space set apart
for spectators. Grunsky pointed his fin-
ger at him and said:
henderson, you or your henchmen
nave been in my private drawers You are
just what have always said you were. a
sneak thief and a scoundrel''
II you say have been in your draw
ers you are liar" responded Henderson,
COO eooIiy. GTunsky sprang over the table
ana landed at the railing, facing Hender-
Then how do you know that 1 have
those papers in my drawer?'' demanded
the County Clerk, hotly.
Ihats my affair, answered Hender-
Irunsky swung his right arm viciously.
henderson stepped back and the fist
grazed his cheek. Grunsky staggered and
partly fell from the force of the intended
pIoW. He was on his feet in an instant
ana over the railing. He made for Hen
derson, and the latter stepped back and
squared off for the attack
Grunsky struck again and Henderson
paired the blow At the same instant
Deputy Johnson caught his chief by the
arm Deputy Salbach started to go in to
pull the men apart, but Supervisor French
showed him back and locked the gate
air play, roared French. "I won't
see two men jump on ONE
supervisor Knight yelled. Fight fight,
mat IS the way to clear it up"
In the opinion of spectators the Clerk
was the aggressor. Friends of the two
combatants are trying to make peace.

her seasons work through the fog that
prevailed on the Inland Sea and off the
japanese coast, while the Valencia had a
very rough experience, but rode the gales
out like the splendid sea boat she is and
came into port yesterday morning some
what damaged, but stilI ready to make
another voyage should she be called upon
to act as a troopship. The Valencia was
in the Nome trade, but on her last trip
was sent from the Sound to Hunters Bay
by the Pacific Steam Whaling company
to bring home the cannery hands and the
last of the seasons pack. She arrived
yesterday morning after a run of six and
half days with a big crowd of fisher
men and more than 39, ,0J0 cases of salmon.
Captain Lane reports an unusually rough
time of it, while the fishermen swear that
had it not been for the direct interposi-
tion of Providence all hands would have
been drowned. Captain Lane said:
The Valencia left Hunters Bay on Septem-
Der and at once ran into southeaster. 1t
blew aShurricane, and for hours at a time
a little canvas on her, but the wind blew the
sails into ribbons. Then the wind shifted a
few points and it blew. If anything, harder

height, was called to see sick Chinese He
was in the last stages Of consumption and
at deaf door. In spite of my anxiety over
the safety of the ship l had to attend to him,
but he died and the next day buried.
November 13 1t blew another southeastern The
waves came over and washed out the fore
castle. The cabins were flooded and the pas
sengers washed out of their berths. Part OF
the railing was carried away and the canvas
stripped from the hatch combings. We set a
foresail, but it was blown into ribbons, and
one swept the bridge and nearly carried
away the quartermaster. 1t was lively time
while il lasted and 1 think of the
Valencia stanch, well found boat than
L ever cid before.
All the passengers and fishermen from
the Valencia were landed at Folsom
street wharf about noon. They were
more than glad tO get ashore
