the ataauasr City of Seattle. b«. >ngin*r to

dry tack at Qaarterwiaater harbor for re

owners of the stranded steamer Wlllapa.
who have been endeavoring to serore a
suitable eases! to he plat ed on the Puget
sound- Alaska run in opposition to the Pa
cific Coast Steamship Company's boats.
As is well known, the latter compsny now
has a monopoly of this business, and has
raised both the passenger and freight
rates slnee the opposition steamer went on
the rocks an her upward trip.
This action en the part of the Pa- tflc
Coast Steamship Company is said to have
greatly Incensed the Juneau merchants,
who now have no other recourse than to
eubmlt. u did not stop them from talking,
however, and many statement* d to
have emanated from them have been
heard in shipping circle* in this city. The
majority Of these have been to the effect
that nearly every merchant in Juneau
would sign almost any kind of a contract
should am opposition line of boats be
placed en. With these statements en
the situation, the report in circulation
today that the fins steamer City of Se -
attle. which has been tied up to the North
een Pacific pier for many months, would
be put on the run. is hardly to be won
dered at, especially as she is particularly
well adapted to that run.
Inquiry at the Olllce Of Superintendent
Walter Cake*, of the Paget Sound A
Alaska Steamship Company, brought out
a statement from that official that there
was nothing in the report, further than
the steamer would be placed on thr
dock for repairs to her hull, which are
necessary for preservation. Mr. Oakes
said he had read in the newspapers that
the Alaska Steamship Compsny had con
templated chartering the steamer, but of
ficially he knew nothing. This statement,
coming from Mr. Oakes. must be authen
tic, as he was president of the compsny
owning the wrecked steamer Willapa.
Notwithstanding this, there are tho*.
who are skeptical enough to believe that
there is some truth in the rumor, their rea
sons for thinking so being that the com
pany must have some object in view in
having the vessel docked other than to
preserve her hull- Developments will be
watched w4th Interest.

WHATOOM. May U.—Argument upon
the legal questions involved In the final
settlement of the contract for the erec
tion of the normal school building are to
be heard by the supreme court May 14.
The court haa already decided that sec
tion 4 of article 8 of the constitution does
not apply to appropriations based upon
land grants from the Federal govern
ment. and that the unexpended balance
to the credit of the fund April 30 could
not, therefore, revert to the state. The
total balance due upon the contract is
f6.fi54.88. and in addition a special appro
priation of 14.189.05 was made by the late
legislature, with the provision that it
should be paid to the creditors of the con
tractor by the state auditor. This makes
a total of $10,843.51 available for th<» pay
ment of claims amounting to 114.599. and
the court haa been asked to decide
whether the claims shall be paid in full
In the order filed. to the extent of the
funds available, or whether the total
amount shall be divided pro rata, and also
whether claimants who are not creditors
for either labor or material which enter
ed Into the construction of the building,
but who secured orders from the con
tractor on account of obligations entirely
distinct from the contract, are entitled
to any portion of the unpaid balance by
reason of such orders. The unpaid labor
claims amount to over $2,500. Seattle cred
itors are interested to the extent of about
53.000. One firm in Portland Is "in it"

Utto delegates to the twentjp-sixth session
of the Order of Railway Conductors have
arrived, and before tomorrow morntng an
additional thousand will have arrived to
swell the throng now aurging through the
corridors of the hotels.
A la rire number of the delegates are ac
companied oy their wives, and many have
brought their daughters, and the streets
are gay with fluttering badges. Nearly
every state and territory has sent dele
gates and Canada has a4ded a long list.
The St. Lxmls special arrived this morn
ing and the Chicago special arrived this
afternoon in two sections. The Pennsyl
vania division, which was to arrive to
morrow over the southern route, is de
layed by a washout near El Paso. Tex.
It is in two sections and will probably be
a day late in reaching here. The train
bearing the New York delegation is ex
pected Friday morning.
Promptly at 1 o'clock this afternoon the
twenty-sixth session of the order was
commenced at Music hall. Grand Chief
Conductor Clark occupying the chair.
The roil call showed a majority of the
delegates present. The report of the
grand chief conductor was then read. It
reviewed the work of the order during the
past two yeans and showed the advan
tages which the members of the order
have over those who are not members.
He also made a few recommendations for
the future government of the order,
which were taken under consideration.
The next order of business was the re
port of the grand secretary and treas
urer. Martin Clancy. His report was full
of interesting statistics. He showed that
1n IS6 1337,uuu was paid out of the insur
ance fund on 161 policies. In there wus
paid out 1339.000 on 139 policies. Most of
this went to widows of conductors. Sev
eral thousand dollars of It, however, has
been paid out on accideut policies.
The membership of the order now num
bers about 21,060. The finances are in
good condition, and the order has cause
for congratulation in the manner in
which it has been conducted.
William Durbin. chairman of the insur
ance committee, also made a report. Ha
discussed the present laws of the order
governing the insurance department and
recommended some changes. No r&dieal
change Is desired, but the committee re
gard certain changes necessary to com
port with the growth of the organization.
This evening a public reception to the
delegates of the order was held.
WILLIAMS, BROWS 4 CO. PAIL.
Well-Known San Frandaco Firm
Pushed to the Wall.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 11.-The well
established firm of Williams, Brown & Co..
wholesale shipping and commission mer
chants. is in financial difficulties. Its lia
bilities are said to be about $600,000, but its
assets are believed to be sufficient to meet
most of its obligations. If the creditors
will grant an extension of time, the firm
hopes to resume business.
For the past eight years the firm has
been recognized as one of the most active
houses in the Australian import trade. In
the salmon canning business. Williams,
Brown A Co. were backers of enterprises
of immense proportions. In handling the
Alaska fish output they conducted opera
tions that annually represented from 150.-
000 to 200,000 cases of salmon, and in their
export grain trade to Australia their ship
ments in a season often amounted to from
thirty-five to forty cargoes. Since Decem
ber 10 the company has loaded for the
Antipodes ten ships, whose total cargoes
are vahied at 1500,000.
The direct cause of the firm's embarrass
ment is said to have been the failure of
Australian consignees to meet bills drawn
against them for shipments of grain. A
great deal of money was lost by the firm
In Its fruit operations in the Fresno mar
ket. and in the Columbia river canneries.
In which they were Interested. L.ast year
they were large packers of salmon, which
cost from $1.30 to $1.35 per dozen tins. Much
of this stock was carried over for this
year's sales, and at the beginning of the
season the market opened at a ppire of
about $1.05 per dozen tins.
The of the firm are numerous
in this city, but among the Institutions of
prominence here which are known to have
been financially interested are the Bank
of California, the London, Paris & Amer
ican bank, the French bank and the
Crocker-Woolworth Banking Company.
The personnel of the lirm had much to
do with Its high financial standing. It was
originally composed of William Brown,
son of Thomas Brown, the cashier of the
Bank of California, and Henry A. Wil
liams. son of Henry F. Williams, the well
known banker and president of the Cali
fornia State hank and the California Safe
Deposit Company. Wlliiam Brown died
about two years ago. and his share In the
business was bought over by Henry A
Williams, who is now the only member of
the firm.
About two months ago Henry A. Wil
liams left thi.« city for Australia on th«
steamer Alameda for the purpose of con
sulting with Falk & Co.. Australian rep
resentatives of the house, about the busi
ness of the firm. He was to leave Sydney
on his return to San Francisco on May 10,
but no word as to that has been received
The creditor* of the Insolvent firm of
Williams, Brown & Co. have appointed a
committee of four to investigate and make
a statement of the business of the firm
The committer will make its report in ten
days. It is the general opinion of the cred
itors that the firm's assets will more than
rover the liabilities, and some believe that
ISO,.**) would have seen the firm through
A few of the creditors are of the opinion
that Mr. Thane, the manager, acted too
hastily in bringing the business of the
firm to a crisis, but "Mr. Thane is of a dif
ferent opinion, and says that the credit
ors do not understand the situation. Ho
said:
"Th'' business of the Arm has been bad
for pAoral vear» and Mr. Williams knew
the state of affairs whon he left for Aus
tralia, on Marfh It* I have only been with
the tlrm a ft w year* and will not be made
the scapegoat In tms affair. Mont of the
firm s loss*>s wan occasioned by our Ka st
em business in canned salmon, raisins and
dried fruits. Our Australian business has
alw tys been profitable."
From a statement prepared by one of th«
creditors the following is deduced: Asset*.
*Tlo,lQi> liabilities, Mr. Thane
says thi* statement is not correct, and that
matters are in a much worse state than
the above figures show.

SAX FRANCISCO. May U.-The steam
er China brought news from the sealing
fleet in Japanese waters. Capt. Bardsley,
of the British sealing schooner Pointer,
writes from Yokohama that the fle» t has
been damaged by serious gales oft the
Japanese coast. He says:
"After leaving Yokohama, we made for
the off-shore sealing grounds, where we
fell in with the schooner Umbrina. She
had been eleven days on the ground and
had thirty-one seals. She reported very
few seals seen. Not seeing many our
selves. we stool in toward land, and when
about thirty miles off coast, found seals
plentiful, but the weather was so rough
that we could not get them, our catch
being ten March 22. We remained on this
ground until April 6. getting few chances
to lower boats, but adding thirty or forty
seals to our catch.
"I have spoken the Charlotte Cox, Capt.
Byrnes. He has been hunting off shore
since March 17. and has only seven seals.
He says he has never seen such weather
before. He got a boat smashed In a gale
March 11, and his poop rails were carried
away. Capt. Byers reported few seals
off shore. He spoke two other schooners,
with only half a dozen or so seals. All
told, we have now only eighty seals, there
being only three small ones among them."
