PACIFIC MAIL LINER-CAPTAIN
DIXON STILL IN COMMAND.

The Manchulia arrived in port early
this morning bringing 175 passengers,
of whom 10 were for this city. Cap
tain Dixon is still in command and
there was no sign of Captain Saund-
ers. From all appearance it seems
very likely that Captain Dixon will re-
main in his position indefinitely.
The Manchuria brought in full
weeks mail from San Francisco and
one hundred and seventy-five tons of
cargo for this city. She locked short
~ before o'clock and was brought
into the slip in pretty style by Cap
tain Lane the local pilot. Among the
local people to return from try to the
Coast were A. Gartley, Mr.. and Mrs
c. A. Elston and family and Col
Tom Fitch, who is understood to
have come here permanently once
more Besides the passengers booked
for this city there are ten layoYers,
who will go on to the Orient by an
other vessel. The larger part of those
for this city are tourists, there being
few local people on board. The Man

his direct examination when he tes-
titled he saw two stones and a billet
of firewood thrown
Mr.. Kinney objected to the witness
being assailed for what he had omit
ted to say, as the record would show
that many of his answers were struck
out on opposite couusefs objections
that they were not responsive to the
question.
There was long wrangling over the
objection, the court ruling against the
question as put.
Witness testified from the sounds he
heard of a shower of stones aad sticks,
or such missiles, when the Spillners
were chased off the scene by the mob.
A VISITOR to the court, after listening
TO the forensic clash, remarked to an
other spectator that the argument re-
minded him of the Arkansas judge who
said:
"One witness saw the gun fired, an
other witness saw the dog fall, but
who saw the bullet hit the dog?"
The same observer mentioned that
in the famous LORD George Gordon
riot case, it was held that the cries
of the mob formed part of the essen

the lawyers say of the case
