MARINE

Yesterday was q busy day on the
waterfront. three vessels coming in and
SIX leaving for other ports. The most
interesting OF the arrivals was that of
the German steamer Tolosau, which
came early in the morning from Seat
tie. putting in al this port in distress
She Is bound for yIadivostok, with
q cargo Of general merchandise.
On the trip down from Seattle the
Tolosan struck very heavy weather and
one of her Chinese quartermasters was
washed overheard and drowned. The
gale started at noon on December 2S
and lasted till the evening of Christ
mas day.
The gale became so heavy during the
afternoon of December %, that it was
necessary TO slow down to half speed.
Two skylights from the engine room
were blown open and in trying to shut
them the Chinese quartermaster was
blown overheard. The sea was so high
at the time that it was impossible to
turn the steamer and since the drown
ing man was unable to catch the life
buovs which were thrown to him, ne
was lost. II was impossible to lower a
boat.
At o'clock in the afternoon the
steering gear broke down and tie rud-
der commenced to swing from side 10
side with tremendous force. The Chi
nese crew became frightened and re-
fused TO come on deck even when
threatened with a revolver, which left
the officers and engineers TO do all the
work. They got ont 615 inch Manila
rope and tried to get the hand-steering
gear into shape, but the force of the
sea was too strong and the big rope
broke. A steel cable was then tried
with better result and the vessel once
more was started, with her engines at
slow speed.
While this work was being done the
seas were breaking over the steamer,
smashing the life boats and causing all
kinds of other trouble. The cargo shift
ed, adding to the general pilikia, and
the vessel took a decided list TO port.
An attempt was made to remedy this
by shifting cargo, but when the Ger
man steamer reached this port, she still
had decided list.
After this the steering gear broke
down twice more, and the officers, who
were completely tired out with their
exertions, were compelled to get to
work again. The passengers on the
vessel have nothing but compliments
for the officers and engineers, who
worked through the time of greatest
danger. at the risk of their lives, in
great distinction from the Chinese crew,
who remained terror-strieken in their
hunks.

COAL FAMINE OVER.

Recent adviees from San Francisco
state that there is no fear of a Goa
famine there during the present sea

high, bat now there is SO much GOA

to charter steamers lying in the bay
TO hold 1t as the yards are filed to

Francisco has not dropped, however
and the consumers must pay a round
sum for all they use, in spite Of the
gIut in the market.

JUMPED OVERHEARD.

There was excitement at the Chan
mel wharf last night shortly after 5
clock as the China was about to
sail. A japanese who was being de
ported from San Francisco on the
ground that he was insane, decided
that he would commit suicide. With
this thought in his mind he Jumped
overheard while the steamer was pull
ing out from the wharf. Naturally
there was great excitement. The Japa-
nese could not swim but kept strug-
Cling in the water to such effect that
he managed to keep afoat for some lit
tie time. Life buoys were thrown to
him from the China, but he did not
pay any attention to them, and was
hobbing up and down in the water,
swallowing a little more each time he
went down. Then japanese sampan,
which was close by, came TO his res
cue and he was pulled cut.
The sampan went alongside the Chi
ma and the Jap was taken on board,
where it was found that, beyond swaI-
lowing a good deal of salt water, he
had suffered no damage from his ex-
perience. In fact il is said that the
cold bath made him great deal more
sane than he had been on the voyage

CHINA IN AND OUT.

The Pacific Mail steamer China,
bringing twenty-seven :frgt-eIass pas
sengers for this city, and a small
amount of freight. arrived at the
Channel wharf yesterday morning at
o'clock. She had fairly good pas
senger LIST for the Orient and carried
a full cargo Of freight.
The most important freight on the
China consists Of $500 tons of army sup
plies, which are being sent to Ma
Mia. The fact that the army is max
ing such a large shipment on the
China, when there are army transports
enough IN commission to take great
amounts of freight, shows that supplies
are being rushed to the Philippines for
some special purpose. Included in the
army's freight was shipment of O.
100000 rounds of ammunition for the
United States troops in the Eastern
possessions.
Among the passengers for Manila
was Mrs Leonard Wood, the wife ST
the Governor GeneraI of the Philip
pines. who was first noted in the rmy
service as the Colonel of the Trough
Riders. The China took on board PTS
tons Of coal at the Channel wharf. sail

trouble but she came through all right,

BUFoRD IN LAST NIGHT.

The transport Buford was whistled
last night at about half-past eight and
came IN 10 tae naval dock just after
9 'cloek. Through some bungiing, she
was not reported till after she had
been OF port Tor sumo little time and
when the whistles were blown she was
already heading for the harbor en-
trance after DR.. Sinclair and the Gus
toms officials had passed on her health
report.
The Buford Is commanded by Cap
tain Hall, as j avigating officer, with
Lieutenant Moore in charge as quar-
termaster captain. This may be the
latter 5 last trip on the Buford for
some time, as he has asked for leave
when he reaches san Francisco. He
will be missed by the people here for
he has made very many friends while
acting as the commander of the trans
port
The Buford had pleasant weather all
the way from Nagasaki, but had al
ready gone through a hard trip, when
going TO that port from Manila. Heavy
seas, which made the transport pitch
and roll and caused the passengers to
wish they were back on dry land, toss
ed her back and forth until Japan was
reached.
There are many frst-elass passengers
on board but none of higher rank than
that of captain. They will have only
a short chance 10 see this city, as the
Buford viii sail for San Francisco
this morning at IL o'clock. Before
going the vessel viii take On board

CANDIDATES BEG
LIQUOR QUESTION

L. w Mason, one OF the organizers
Of the Prohibition party, has issued a
challenge 10 A. b. Hall, candidate for
the Republican nomination for prose
cutting attorney. He says, AS Mr..
Hall claims he is not afraid OF the
liquor question, / hereby challenge
him to state in the press OF Detroit
whether he will enforce the law in
regard TO saloon violations as rigidly
as those against theft, incendiarism
and other crimes"
This challenge comes as the result
of a tilt between Mason and Hall at
the open meeting in Emmanuel Presby.
terrain church Tuesday evening All
the Republican candidates for mayor
and also DR.. Alfred Lowther, the Pro
hlbition candidate, were present.
Mason made the statement that most
OF the candidates were campaigning
for themselves and not for a principle.
Hall took this mp and stated his posi-
tion on the saloon question, holding
that the present laws were not made
for a big city such as Detroit.
