SHIP PELEUS
IS ENDANGERED
Almost Run Down by An
other Vessel Which Was
Adrift on the Bay
QUICKSTEP LOSES CHAIN
Vigilant Customs Officers
Watch the New York for
Hidden Silks and Cigars

The big British ship Peleus, which
came into port Saturday after long
stormy voyage from Antwerp, was
perilOusly near disaster while lying at
anchor off Meiggs wharf carly Sunday
morning.
During Saturday night the barken-
tine Quickstep, moored in the northern
part of the bay, began to drag her an
Choir before the force of a strong north
west wind. She drifted toward Alca-
traz Island, and though chain was paid
out she continued to drag till she al
most touched the beach.
Before she struck the ground, how
ever, the wind shifted sufficiently to
swing the vessel away from the land
and toward the Peleus. The wind blew
strong and the Quickstep, true to her
name, made rapid time in her drift
toward the Britisher. Those aboard the
PeleuS saw through the darkness the
stranger TO the windward coming down
on them, and veered away chain to es-
cape the impending collision. AS the
Quickstep came slowly down on the
other vessel, blowing UP the mud on the
bay bottom, the chain snapped and
thirty-five fathoms of it flew down to
the anchor below. The breaking of the
cable caused the Quickstep to swerve
from her course, and she scraped
alongside of the Peleus, with no dam
age to either vessel. Another anchor
was let go, which held, and the bark
entine held to her moorings till morn
ing, when she was lowed to Mission
Bay for safer keeping.

RECOVERY OF RELICS.

Two relics Of Nelson stolen Deem
Der s, 1900, from the Painted Hall at
Greenwich Hospital, were recovered
under rather romantic circumstances in
July last. A sailor, recently arrived
from Australia, left a package at the
Customs Depot at Greenwich. After
the usual lapse Of time had passed
without any claim being presented for
the property. the package was opened
by the Inspector, who found, among
other articles, a cOncertina. A close
scrutiny Of the latter revealed a slight
scratch near one Of the screws, which
suggested the conclusion to the in
spector that a screwdriver had been
used and had Slipped. The Ooncertina
was then opened and inside Of it were
found Nelson's gold watch and gold
hilt Of a sword. the articles stolen more
than three years ago. The Scotland
Yard force are now working up the
case. The sailor. named William Nc
Carthy. alias Carter, has been arrested
and charged with the theft. He claims
TO have left England in 1899 for Aus
tralia and remaining there until his
recent return, but the police have
worked up his record and find il bad.
The property thus strangely recovered
was valued 1T over SO 000

Democratic Candidate for Vice Presl

Roanoke. Va, Aug. 2o.-'The follow
ing letter from II. G. Davis, democratic
candidate for vice president, has been
made public here:
E!k!ns. w. Va. Aug. 15.-Mr. l. V. john
son, Roanoke. Va.-Ay Dear Mr.. john
son: | am glad TO have your letter call
me in the attitude of hostility 20 the la
boring class. No one who knows me per
sonally or Is at all acquainted with the
circumstances of my life will put any
credence in the statements to which YOU
refer I think can well claim that be-
long to the laboring class. For many
years l worked in the ranks of the wage
earners. and I know what 1t is to earn
my living by the sweat of my brow. On
the other hand. I have been large en-
lumber mills. etc. have never had any
serious trouble with our men. l think
you will find that the conditions of the
railroad men and miners in connection
with the enterprises I have directed will
compare most favorably with those in any
other locality of the country. have al
ways believed, and my conviction came
from the hard school of experience. that,
measured by his character the work he
does and the cost of living. every man
Is entitled to full compensation for his
services
I am charged with having instituted a
proceeding which led to an injunction
against strikers by Judge Jackson of this
state. The fact is. I had nothing what
ever to do with the case, and knew moth
ing about the matter until l read Of it in
the newspapers. The injunction did not
apply to men in our employ, nor apply to
them in any way. On the contrary. l re-
member on one occasion one of our su-
against our men. and declined to con-
"ider 1t. (Sgned) II. G. Davis.
