LOS ANGELES: FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 27, 1893.
WENT ASHORE IN A FOG.
A Marine Disaster at the
Golden Gate.
The City of New York Aground
at Bonita Point.
She Is High on the Bocks and Will
be a Total Loss.
Great Consternation Among the Chines"
Passengers—All Safely Takea
off —Her Valuable Cargo
.letttaoned.
By tlie Associated Presi.
San Francihco, Oct. 2(s.—The Pacific
Mail Steamship company's steamer City
of Mew York went ashore this evening
in a dense fog and will probably be a
total lose. She is bard and fast on the
rocks at Point Bonita, with eight feet of
water in her hold. She tailed for China
1 and Japan at 3:30 o'clock tbia afternoon
and went down the bay under a fall
head of steam. The fog was very thick,
and in a few minutes the big steamer
was lost sight of. About 5 o'clock tbe
booming ot cannon could be heard and
signal rockets were seen as they burst
above the fog. At first it wos not known
what vessel was in distress, and it was
thought it might be tbe Monowai, due
today from Australia. Later it was as
certained it was the City of New York.
Tlie steamer was in command of Capt.
F. 11. Johnson and in charge of Pilot
Sevenon. She carried a large cargo of
flour and a large passenger list, includ
ing 200 Chinese. When the ship struck
tbe rocks the Chinese in the steerage
set tip a howl and intense confusion
reigned.
The latest advices from the wreck
state that tbe steamer went on tbe rocka
at full speed, and the numerous tugs
which rushed to her assistance could
not pull her off, she has eight feet of
; water in her hold. All the passenger*
have heon taken off and will be brought
back to the city.
The City of New York was built at
Chester, Pa., in 1875, but was practi
cally rebuilt a few years ago. She wae
of 3019.56 gross tonnage, 339 feet long.
40 feet 2 inches beam and 20 feet 5
inches depth.
There is very little wind tonight and
tugs will stand by the stranded ship all
night. Should a wind come up she will
soon go to pieces. The ship is valued
at fSOO.OUO.
Point Bonita is the rocky promontory
. — spasm tv yu j,. ot tM tISrJ, Bt
the enllkmc* t» tn„ i<»ars, ana IB
regarded as most dangerous by naviga
tors. Half a do/.on vessels have come to
grief on it during the past 12 months.
; The hark Lurhne went ashore there,
and the bark J. D. Sprockets was barely
saved by a steamer. The ship Spinney
broke away from togs there and went up
the coast where she was wrecked.
The vessel must have got close in
shore in the fog bb she was passing out,
and tbe tide carrying her off her course
threw her on tbe rocks. Although there
was great confusion among tbe passen
gers, tbe officers and men were very cool
and soon allayed tbe panic.
Tbe City of New York is a compart
; ment ship, and the latest reports say
i there is no water fore and aft, but eight
leet of water amidships. The water ia
up into tbe fire room. Before the sig
nals of distress brought assistance from
San Francisco, the passengers were
landed at Point Bonita by tbe ship's
boats and life saving crews from Golden
Gate and Fort Point stations. About
thia time Captain Johnson decided to
jettison tbe cargo and save as much as
possible. He dispatched the third
officer and a crew of six Chinese sailors
in a small boat, directing them to row
to San Francisco for tugs and lighters,
but the crew could make no headway
against tbe strong tide, and were swept
back. Another boat's crew, in com
mand of the purser, was picked up by a
tug and brought here.
A reporter just in on a tug from the
wreck reports the City of New York
lying with her head to the westward,
broadside upon the rocks. She is lying
over on tbe port eide and three or four
big boles are efove in her bottom. The
veßßel will be a total loss. The tide is
receding and she is now high upon the
rocks and the surf is pounding her.
There is not much wind, however, or
very little swell. The tugs now hover
ing about the wreck could possibly pull
the Bteamer from the rocks, but it would
be listless, as it is certain she wonld go
to the bottom. Though the steamer is
doomed, it is believed she will bold to
gether until the cargo caa be jettisoned,
unless a heavy sea comes on. Her cargo
is canned stuff and general merchandise,
valued at $200,000. She also carried a
considerable amount of treasure.
At 11:30 tonight it is reported there is
no hope of saving the wrecked steamer.
She is spiked fast upon the rocks, and
cannot be moved. In attempting to
float the vessel much of the cargo was
thrown overboard into the sea, no effort
being made to save it. Thousands of
Backs of flour were wasted. The bullion
and mails were saved.
The New York's merchandise cargo
waß valued at $130,000, and she carried
$190,000 of treasure. There were only
two cabin paesengers, one a boy and the
other tbe Chinese consul at Havana,
who was returning home. The ship is
valued at abont $400,000.
At 1 o'clock this (Friday) morning,
when the tide was at tbe highest point
six tugs tried vainly to pull the City of
New York off the rocks. They pulled
and strained but the big ship did not
move. Tbe attempt was given up un
til daylight, when the New York will be
pumped out with powerful wrecking
pumps. After 200 tons of the cargo,
mostly flour, had been thrown overboard
tonight, orders were received to leave
ihe remainder in the vessel.

CONVICTS SCARED.
Fire In the Nebraska Penitentiary—No
Loss of Life.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 26.—A fire which
caused a great scare in the city, through
rumors of heavy loss of life, but happily
unattended by iatalities, broke out in
the enclosure of the state penitentiary,
in the manufacturing buildings of the
institution, about 6 o'clock this evening.
It had its origin in the foundry room,
spread rapidly and entirely consumed
the room, as well bb the ones in which
are the range worko and harness shops.
There was some anxiety among the con
victs, but they were not in tbe slight
est danger, and Warden Beemer piovided
for their transfer to another part of the
building. The loss falls heaviest on the
Btate which owned the buildings and
part of tlie furnishings. It is estimated
that the loss is £50.000, entirely unin
sured. The Western Manufacturing
company, tho Lincoln Range woika and
Backetaff brothers who operate the
harneoa shops, lose in the aggregate
something like $50,000, nearly fully
insured. The fire was under control at ;
9 o'clock.

Hamburg, Mch., Oct. 26.—Laat night

ral de Mello. despairing of making any
further progress about Rio, has made
every preparation to run the gauntlet of
tbe forts at the entrance of the harbor,

render of which has been repeatedly
announced, continues to make heroic
resistance to the rebel squadron.
The Brazilian delegate adds that tbe

Peixoto is numerous, well disciplined,
and that they are able and willing to de

His Owner.
N«w York, Oct. 26.—Wallace, tbe big
lion belonoinir to Uostock'a Australian
circus, today escaped from his cage and
mangled and killed a horse and badly
nj ured his owner, I r ink liostock. Two
women and two children, who were in
the building, were rescued with diffi
culty by being taken through the hay
loft floor. There was a scene of wild
contusion, am! the other animals in the
building were frantic with fear, their
yells adding additional tenor to the
ecene. After three hours' stubborn re
sistance, the lion tamer and four assist
ants, with the aid of irons heated to a
white heat, succeeded in getting tbe
lion into his cage and securely confined.
THE NEW TARIFF BILL.
A ROUGH DRAFT SUBMITTED TO
THE PRESIDENT.
It Sticks Closely to the Principle or
Tariff fw lie venue Only aud
O.nta Ins Some Very
Kadlcal Feutures.
Washington, Oct. 26.—1t is under
stood tbat a rough draft of the proposed
tariff bill is nosy in the hands of Pres
ident Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle
for perusal. Some features of the bill
are radical. The Springer free wool bill
which pasted the house last congress,
ib incorporated into the bill practically
without change. There is to be a radi
cal cut made in the glass schedule. There
will be a considerable enlargement of
the free list by the addition of raw ma
terial, and a heavy cat in all duties
which are not properly revenue duties.
The idea oi tariff ior revenue only is ad
hered to quite closely, but this applica
tion may not be made to coal and iron
ore, which go on the free list, and
there is a very considerable shaving
down of the entire iron and Bteel sched
ule. The tax on whisky will be in
creased not above 20 cents. An increase
in tbe beer tax is practically decided on.
The sub-committee have not quite made
up their minds on the sugar question,
but they have practically determined
not to try to get any revenue out of
sugar. Tbe sugar bounty will go, how
ever. Either an income tax or an in
heritance tax will be provided to in
crease the revenues.
AMERICAN MISSIONARIES.
They Denounce the deary Law aa Brntal

Elgin, 111., 26 —At today's ses
sion of the American Missionary asso
ciation, resolutions were also adopt
ed denouncing the Ueary law as
inhuman, brutal and incon
sistent with the inalienable rights
of man. An appeal for Indian missions
brought a liberal response. Ac tbe
business meeting, Merrill E. Gatea,
LL. !>., of Massachusetts waa elected
president. The next meeting will
probably be held at Newbury port, Mass.
AH HAM AND AH HINU.
The Former Mnrdored the Latter With
a Butoherkrtire.
Cmco, Cal., Oct. 26. —A Chinaman,
Ah Ham murdered his countryman Ah
Hing, yesterday afternoon on the Karl
& Stansbury ranch, three miles east of
Cbico. Ham was a cook and when
Hing entered the kitchen, Ham sprang
at bim with a butcherknife, making
four cuts, tbe last of which proved fatal.
The murderer bad been employed as
a cook for several weeks on the ranch
and was thought to be crazy. Ham has
not been found and is supposed to be in
hiding in Chinatown in this city.
A CONVICI'S HOPE.
Ha Thinks Hypnotism Will Help Him
to Obtain a Pardon.
Chicago, Oct. 26. —George Painter, an
alleged wife murderer, sentenced to be
banged December 15th, says lie thinks
hypnotism will help him to secure a
pardon. He declares a man in a hyp
notic state must tell the truth and act
just aa he did on the occasion he was
questioned about. Painter hopes Gov
ernor Alfgeld will permit him to submit
to experiments with a view to securing
his pardon.

By ll:o Associated Press.
Wasuingto.v, Oct. 26 —The pro
gramme of the managers of tbe repeal
bill in the senate is to get to voting
some time tomorrow on the amendments
to the bill, finish on Saturday, and vote
on the bill itself Monday. The opiuion
prevails in the senate that the house
will pass the bill when it is sent over
with very little delay. Whether there
shall be a recegs then or an adjourn
ment will depend on the committee on
ways and means. Ii the Democratic
members of that committee are of the
opinion tbat the tariff bill will be in
shape for presentation before the time
for the beginning of the regular session,
recess is more probable than adjourn
ment. Otherwise an adjournment will
take place.
A well-defined report was in circula
tion about tbe capitot today tbat there
had been an effort made to have tbe
Democratic managers in the senate
postpone voting until after tbe Virginia
election. It appears that the Virginia
Populists have made their fight almost
entirely upon the silver issue, and have
made such headway as to render tbe
Democratic managers somewhat un
easy. But when it was represented
that the immediate passage of the bill
would have a good effect in Massachu
setts and New York, it was thought
best to let the bill take its course.
Senator Power spent a considerable
portion of tbe day in gathering facts
concerning the silver bullion in the
treasury, with a view of getting sup
port ior an amendment to the repeal
bill providing for the coinage of this
bullion, which will be offered by him
self or some other silver senator. He
find there in sufficient bullion stored to
make $13-1,000,0(10 if coined. He thinks
there would be but little objection to its
being coined, especially in view of the
fact that the seigniorage of this silver,
abont $154,000,000, would fnrnisb the
money necessary to enpply the threat
ened deficit in tbe treasury. He has
been canvassing the proposition some
what among the senators and finds it
meets with favor generally among the
silver men. There is a feeling, however,
among the silver Democrats that the bill
should not be amended in any way at
their instance, so tbe administration
may have all tbe praise and all the
blame for it when it shall become a
law.
Senator Sherman says he has no in
tention to offer an amendment to tbe
repeal bill for the issue of $200,000,000
bonda to strengthen the gold reserve.at
this session. At tbe regular session,
however, he will introduce a bill for
tbat purpose. It is tbe general opinion
that a bond amendment to the present
bill would not pass, an lit might en
danger tbe paasage-of the bill itself.
Peffer denies that the Populists in
tend to filibuster against repeal.

Washington, Oct. 26. —When the Ben
ate reconvened today the repeal bill waa
taken up and the vice-president stated
the question to be on tbe amendment
offered by Peffer reviving the coinage
law of 1837. Teller resumed his epeeHa

Teller, without finishing, yielded the
door to Squire, who spoke in favor of
his amendment to the repeal bill, of
which he gave notice October 10th.
Squire said in offering the amendment
