San Pedro Harbor Notes
Capt Phineas Banning Blanchard is
the new master in charge of the Cata-
lima passenger steamer Cabrillo. The
captain is one of the ablest mariners
on the coast although young man. He
was born on a sailing vessel on which
his father was the skipper thirty years
ago when it was lying at anchor near
Catalina island. He was made much of
at the time by Phineas Banning, father
of the BanningS who have control OF
the island now and who own the Cabril-
10, and was later named after him. Capt.
Blanchard has been master of several
big schooners. the last of which was the
ship Bangalore, which brought coal
here from Philadelphia about year
ago.
Very few boats are in the harbor at
present, but nearly fifty are reported on
the way.

ISLE OF MAN IN REVOLT.
Manx Legislature Threatens to Act
Independently of the Impe--
rial Government.

Hall Caine's fellow-Manxmen Sc
cured a representative constitution
rom the British imperial government
1866, and imperial interests have
,ince been looked after by deemster
and vicar general appointed by the
home ONCE. The house of keys. or
,ower branch of the Manx legisla.
ure, says the New York Times, has
,lways been opposed to such appoint,
nents, and now its radical wing
threatens to deprive the imperial gov
,rnment of any hand at all in the ad-
ninistration of Manx affairs, with the
Exception of nominal WELD of the
British scepter.
A significant note from the British
lome Office was recently read in the
rouse of rs 1t requested and re-
Iuired' tie loyalty of Manxmen to
The constitution of 1856. and added
hat the British government could not
consider for a moment the question
If home rule for the Isle of Man, as
,uch an autonomous situation was a
menace to imperial interests. More.
,ver, continued agitation would only
cad to one thing-the abrogation OF
The constitution and complete annexa
ton.

FRENCH COIN POPULAR.
Formerly Unpopular, But Now the
Most Sought After Of Mint
Productions,

II M. Poincarre, the new French
minister of finance, does nothing else,
ie will at least go down in history
With the reputation Of having made
The exceedingly unpopular 25-centime
aickel coin the most sought after
product from the French mint The
coin has long been boycottel by shop
keepers, and it has been as hard to get
I'D of In Paris as foreign coppers. The
other day, however, rumor emanated
rom the ministry of finance that on
ive coins of the unpopular issue might
oe found the word "Rothschild" in
iny letters, and that the first person
who took one of these five coins to
2othschild's bank in the Rue Laffitte
would receive 25,00Of., or $1,000, for it.;
l0.000f would be paid for the second
lickel, 5,00Of for the third and fourth,
Ind 2,000f for the last of the five.
Why Rothschild should offer this
,ratuituos lottery was explained on
he ground that the banker had large
,tock of nickels on hand which he was
anxious to get rid of as quickly as pos
sible. Now everybody in Paris grabs
every 25-centime nickel coin within
each, carefully examines it under a
nagnifying glass, and then passes 1t
IN to other eager hands.

Body Is Identified.

Little Rock.---A dead body found in
the Arkansas river 100 miles south of
Little Rock was identified as that of
Wm. j. Marshall, contractor of
Birmingham, Ala. On the night Of
June s an unknown man was seen to
jump into the river from the public
bridge at Little Rock The body was
not recovered at that time. A pack
age containing Marshall's private pa
spers sent from Lite. Rock were re-
ceived at Birmingham with a message
stating that he intended leaving for
the Philippines. Nothing further was
heard from Marshall. Several days ago
S. H. Harris of Birmingham, arrived
here and instituted search for Mar
shall's body in the belief that it was
Marshall who jumped from the bridge.
The discovery was the result.
