Arrival of the Oceanic Steam
ship Monowai From
Sydney.
THE CHOLERA IN HONOLULU.
A Survivor of the Wrecked Sarah
Ridgway— Skipper Monday's
Error In Time.
The Oceanic steamship Monowai, Cap
tain Michael Carey, came in. yesterday,
almost twenty-five days from Sydney, by
way of Auckland and Apia. When she
arrived off the harbor of Honolulu she
was stopped by the steamship company's
agent and the American Consul, who noti
fied Captain Carey that cholera had
broken out in Honolulu, and eight deaths
had occurred among the natives and
Chinese.
It was thought that the disease had been

brought from China by the Pacific Mail
steamship Belgic on her last trip from the
Orient. Captain Carey decided to have no
communication with the shore and went
on, carrying a number of passengers, mails
and a large amount of Hawaiian freight to
this City.
The following is the Monowai's cabin
passenger list :

Albert Rostrop, a seaman from the
American bark Sarah Ridgway, which was
lost about seven months ago on the Aus
tralian coast, was a passenger on the
Monowai. During the gale that wrecked
the vessel he was struck by falling spars
and had his right leg broken below the
knee. The captain took him into the
cabin and set tne limb. Four days after,
the bark went down and Rostrop was
washed out of his bunk by the seas that
broke over the foundering "vessel.
He was taken into a boat and suffered
from exposure, hunger and his broken leg
for five days. They were all rescued ana
the limb afterward amputated.
The Monowai brings news of the loss of
the steamer Cbatterthun bound from Syd
ney to China, which struck on a rock near
the former place August 8 and disap
peared in 15 minutes with about 65 per
sons.
Dr. Copeman, Officer Lansjfear, Pilot
Fraser, a Mr. Crane and about twenty of
the Chinese crew were saved.
The investigation of the charges made
against Eaward T. McLean, the mail-dock
inspector accused of taking articles from
the baggage of Chinese, took place yester
day before Collector Wise. The Chinese was
present and insisted that he gave McLean
the shirt, which fully exonerated the ac
cused Customs Inspector. The other
charges were not substantiated, and the ac
cused was acquitted.
To-day the race between the yachts El
Sueno and Queen for the San Francisco
challenge cup will be sailed. The cruise is
from the the end of the narrow-gauge pier,
Oakland, around Blossom Rock, then
around a stakeboat near Hunters Point,
then around another boat moored near
Mission Rock, and to the starting point.
The race will come off at 2 o'clock, and the
steamer Bay City will leave the foot of
Market street at 1, following the race.
The scow Henrietta M was capsized at
Main street yesterday morning by over
loading. Captain William Munday said
Friday was his unlucky day, but thought
it was Thursday, and, thinking that she
could not be upset on any other day ex
cept Friday, piled wood upon the scow
until, true to her fate, she went over. She
was final ly righted, but the cargo floating
around the bay was a loss.
Henry T. Scott has received a cable mes
sage from his brother, Irving M. Scott, an
nouncing the latter's arrival at Yokohama
on August 26. The steamship on which
Mr. Scott sailed left this port August 13,
and consequently made the run in thirteen
days or less. This is a remarkably swift
passage, but does not break the record be
tween San Francisco and Yokohama.
The sealer Winchester, which arrived
late Thursday evening from the north, was
erroniously reported to have been seized
by the customs officials for taking seals in
prohibited waters. Inquiries at the Cus
tom-bouse failed to raise any information
regarding the seizure.
J. D. Sullivan was appointed engineer
on the quarantine tug Governor Perkins in
place of Dick Cousins, time expired.
Criminal proceedings have been com
menced against Captain W. P. Noyes of
the schooner Bowhead and Captain A. C.
Sutherland of the schooner Sophia Suth
erland charging them with making false
statements. The penalty of such offense
is a tine of $200 or six months' imprison
ment or both. In the case of Sutherland
the charges can hardly be substantiated,
is his log revealed the taking of seals in
prohibited waters and the act was com
mitted by the hunters in disobedience of
the captain's orders.

HOLIDAY OR NO HOLIDAY?
Federal Officials in Doubt as to Whether
or Jfot Labor Day Should He
Observed.
The last Congress passed a bill making
the first Monday in September a legal
holiday to be known as Labor day, and
further provided that it be observed the
same as the Fourth of July and Christmas.
All the Government officers issued notices
saying their various departments would be
closed, but two days before the celebration
a dispatch was received which said the law
only applied to the District of Columbia
and the Territories, consequently all the
Government offices were open as usual.
Later, it was learned that all the Federal
officials in the East took a holiday, and the
Western men were mad in consequence.
The Federal officials seem to be divided
on the question. Postmaster McCoppin
has posted a notice to the effect that his
department, will be closed except during
the usual holiday hours. United States
District Attorney Foote will close his de
partment, and Judge Morrow has ad
journed court until next Tuesday morning.
On the other hand, Judge McKenna will
open the Circuit Court as usual, and Col
lectors Wise and Welburn are in a quan
dary. They have accordingly telegraphed
to the Secretary of the Treasury for in
structions. The sub-treasury will await
the answer also, and if it instructs the
officials to close, all the banks and prin
cipal warehouses will follow suit. The
question will be decided to-day.
HE THREATENED FILL MORE
Andrew J. Collins Was Exam
ined in the Police Court
Yesterday.
The Superintendent Considered
Him a Dangerous Person to
Be ct Large.
Andrew J. Collins, the ex-railroad em
ploye who was arrested several days ago,
charged with threats against the life of J.
A. Fillmore, general superintendent of the
Southern Pacific Company, was examined
in Judge Low's court yesterday.
George E. Gard, chief of the detective
force of the company, testified that Collins
had entered the railroad offices on August
23 and insisted on seeing Mr. Fillmore. On
learning that Collins' presence was ob
noxious to that official Mr. Gard and two
others ejected him and led him up the
street. He had not heard any threats on
Collins' part. The latter had remarked
that the next time ho came to see Fillmore
he would get an audience if it cost him his
life.
William M. Breckenridge testified that
he had met Collins at Loc Angeles on
August 9, and that the ex-employe had
told him that he was going to San Fran
cisco to see Fillmore and get his rights.
He said that Mr. Huntington, who would
have given him a contract for a life job in
the company, had gone East to avoid him,
and left the'matter to Fillmore.
The latter, Collins declared, did not like
him (Collins), but that did not make any
difference, he was going to get justice.
He remarked that it would take very little
to make him kill Fillmore.
Mr. Fillmore was called and testified
that he knew nothing of the threats except
what he had heard, but that he considered
Collins a dangerous man and thought that
he should be compelled in some way to keep
the peace.
The matter was continued until next
Tuesday to await more testimony.
THE OAMEEA OLUB.
Albert J. Le Breton, a Quondam Call
forniiin, Lectures.
The sixty-third illustrated lecture under
the auspices of the California Camera Club
drew an audience that filled Metropolitan
Hall last evening. Albert J. Le Breton,
for a long time a member of the Pacific
Coast Photographic Association, and who
has returned to this City after a long resi
dence in Washington, D. C, wa3 the en
tertainer. The negatives and slides used
were the work of members of the Capital
Camera Club of Washington, with which
Mr. he Breton was associated.
The entertainment, which was appro
priately entitled "Poems and Pictures,"
opened with an illustrated presentation of
"Thanatopsis." This was followed by a
barytone solo, "Sea Song," by J. F. Flem- !
ing. Mr. Fleming was encored and sang
"The Holy Friar."
Mr. Le Breton's poem, "The River," was
illustrated, and finally there was a miscel
laneous series illustrating the poetry of
nature, and especially dealing with the
queens of the floral kingdom.
Miss Xena Roberts gave a contralto
solo, "Perfumes of the Orient," and being
encored responded with a ballad.
Mr. Le Breton made a most favorable
impression, especially in the illustration of
hi? own descriptive poem, although that of
"Thanatopsis" was an ambitious and suc
cessful effort. The views illustrating Bry
ant's masterpiece were exceedingly clever.
Held for Burglary.
Matthew B. Maume, charged with burglary
for entering tae offices of B. McMahon & Co.,
contractors, several weeks ago, was given a
preliminary examination in the Police Court
yesterday and held to appear before the Supe
rior Court in SIOQO bonds.
GOLD AND COAL IN ALASKA
Dr. Becker Tells of the Geo
logical Survey Work Done
There.
NICKEL ORE MAY BE FOUND.
Notable Peculiarities Discovered In
the Gold Belts of the
North.
Dr. George F. Becker, geologist in charge
in tills division of the United states Geo
logical Survey, has returned from Alaska,
where he has been making a survey of the
gold and coal fields along the shore line.
He was accompanied by Dr. William H.
Dahl, who went to make a special report
on the coal fields. This is the first work
that has ever been done by the United
States Geological Survey in* Alaska. Dr.
Becker is one of the most distinguished
men connected with the survey. He was
for a number of years professor in the
College of Mines at the University of Cali
fornia.
Dr. Becker said yesterday at his rooms
in tbe Palace Hotel that until after con
siderable office work he could not say
much in detail •bout the work done. He
said :
The first mines examined were the Sumdura
and those near Juneau, the Douglas Island,
Sheep Creek Basin and Silver Basin, and fur
ther north those at Berners riay. These all
form a large belt up and down through Juneau.
Then there were some undeveloped mines near
Sitka. A peculiarity found worthy of note was
the presence in the gangue both in the Juneau
belt and about Sitka of magnetic iron pyrites,
which is a comparatively rare mineral in gold
mines. They are found in great variety. It is
found in most cases wherever nickel ores are
found. Now, as a consequence, I suggested up
there that they have the magnetic iron pyrites
tested for nickel. A report got into the papers
that I had discovered a nickel mine. It is not
true that I have any knowledge of the exist
ence of nickel in that region. There may be
nickel: I shall know when I have my office
work done.
Another peculiarity I found, and that was a
great abundance of chlorite as a gangue
mineral. It is not a mineral that is usually
found in gold mines, although It is occasionally
found in the gold mines in North Carolina and
Europe. It has some interest aa bearingon the
genesis of gold ores.
Further west there is some good property at
Kodiak Island, but only partially developed.
Still further west, at Unga Island, is an impor
tant iniue, second only to the Treadwell and
Mexican, called the Apollo Consolidated. The
ore is notable in two respects. It contains a
large amount of free gold in an unusually fine
state of division, so that at first sight rich
quartz looks as if it had a yellow stain run
ning through it like oxide of iron. Kidneys
of this q uartz with fine free gold girt the value
to the mine.
The other notable feature is that it contains
a considerable amount of native copper, which
is a very rare accompaniment ot gold. Only
one other case of the kind has been reported
in America, and that was in Virginia some
fifty years ago. The Apollo Consolidated is
turning out several hundred thousand a year.
I don't think there is much doubt that Alaska
is going to be an active mining region;
but I do not think that it will rival the Cali
fornia mining belt. Theveiusare not so large
and well developed as they are here.
There has been quite an excitement this
summer about the placers at the head of Cooks
Inlet. The amount of success thus far achieved
hnrdly warrants the amount of interest ex
hibited. The profitable washings thus far dis
covered are confined to a couple of miles on
Bear Creek, which empties into Turnagain
Arm. I think it proper to make this statement
to prevent too much of a rush of people there
who are not supplied with means to live on
until they can find something or return. I did
not visit Yukon. I learned, however, that
there were a great many poor men stranded
there unprepared with means, and a large pro
portion do not find gold. Any man who pro
poses to go into the Yukon country should
carry along means to support him for a year at
least.
As to the coal deposits, the only coal we
found that seems likely to be of any commer
cial value was at Cooks Inlet, on Kackenack
Bay. It is a tertiary coal, which is really a
lignite, and sometimes somewhat resembles
logwood. The coal is present in large quanti
ties. Its heating effect is comparatively
slight, so that it takes about two tons to do the
work of one ton of Vancouver Island coal. It
also contains a large quantity of ash. It seems
that it might be economically mined if the
mining was carried out on a large scale and
with great system, as the coals of Western
Pennsylvania are mined. It seems impossible
that any profit could be made except under
such conditions. This coa! is associated with
large quantities of clay, but wtu-ther this clay
is fit for pottery and brick I cannot say until
the tests are made.
There are other coal veins on Kenal Penin
sula, west of Cooks Inlet, but the quantity ap
pears to be too small except for local consump
tion.
There is also coal at Point Barrow, in North
western Alaska, which seems to be of paleozoic
age and of good quality. Hut it is too remote
and in a region icebound so much of the year
as seemingly to deprive it of all value.
Dr. Becker will return to Washington in
about a month. It will be some time after
that before the necessary tests can be
made of the samples takento make up his
report. _____________
TO ADVEBTISE THE STATE.
Storeopticon !<»■<■< uk-n Will Be Deliv
ered at the Atlanta Fair.
When the State Board of Trade found
that it did not have money enough to
stand the expense of maintaining illus
trated lectures on California at the Atlanta
Exposition it asked the Half-million Club
to take up the matter and carry it on until
such a time as the Board of Trade would
be able to secure the money to repay the
expense. The Half-million Club con
cluded that it would not assume any suck
responsibility, and for a time it looked as
though there would be no illustrated lec
tures delivered at Atlanta.
D. M. Carmen of the State Development
Committee would not let the matter drop
in this way, and he interested the com
mittee to such an extent that it has taken
up the work abandoned by the Half
million Club. Views from all parts of the
State will be presented on stereopticon
slides at the Atlanta fair. The same com
mittee will ask the State Board of Hor
ticulture to take up the work of running a
cooking exhibition at the exposition, and
the promotion of sales of California
products in the East, in connection with
the stereopticon lectures that are to be
given.
It is now assumed that through the
efforts of the various organizations inter
ested, the entire plan as outlined by the
promotion committee of the Half-million
Club will be carried out.
FATHER PINASOO RETIBES
Owing to 111 Health— Father Leggeo
Succeeds Him.
Rev. J. Pinasco, S.J., who for a number
of years has been director of the Gentle
men's Sodality of St. Ignatius Church, has
been forced to retire from his position, and
to leave this City, on account of the con
stant ill health which attends him here.
He will be relieved dv the Rev. W. Leggeo
of Denver, who has been appointed to fill
his place.
Father Leggeo ha 3 been in San Francisco
before, and is well known both as an elo
quent preacher and an intellectual man.
He was for a great many years prefect of
studies at St. Ignatius College. Father
Pinasco has been identified with the sodal
ity since its inception, and under his
charge it has held together and has be
come one of the strongest parish organiza
tions of the Catholic church of this City.
At the last meeting of the sodality the
members passed a vote of sympathy for
him, and expressing the wish "that he may
soon be restored to health. He will leave
for the interior within a few days.
OPENED WITH A LAUNDRY.
The World's Christian Co
operative Union Enter
prise Launched.
The Society Proposes to Open
Other Places of Business
In Two Weeks.
The World's Christian Co-operative As
sociation has launched its enterprise of
helping laborers to help themselves.
The laundry at 129 Valencia street has
been transferred by the former proprietor,
Otto Frenzel, who is a member of the so
ciety, to its control, and, in conformity
with the principles that govern the or
ganization, he is now working at the old
stand on a profit-sharing basis.
There will be an enlargement of the con
cern in a few days, and this step will be
followed by the opening of two restaurants
on the same basis and under the control of
the same society. A committee is consid
ering: the advisability of buying the prop
erty of two established restaurants and has
not determined whether to do this or open
places of business in new localities. In
either event it is expected that the plans
will be consummated within two weeks.
Mr. Wilderman, the president, continues
his lectures in the interests of the society
at Golden Rule Hall, and his office is vis
ited by many who are interested in its
projects.
The members are more sanguine of suc
cess than at any time since the organiza
tion was effected, and numerous commit
tees are making investigations with a view
to opening other lines of business.
FATHEE UPCHURCH'S OKDER
United Ancient Order of "Workmen to
Celebrate the Anniversary of Its
Foundation.
A meeting of delegates from lodges of
the United Ancient Order of Workmen
was held last evening in the hall of Frank
lin Lodge in Shiels building to inaugurate
arrangements for the celebration of the
twenty-seventh anniversary of the found
ing of the order, which took place on the
27th of October, 1868, at Meartville, Pa.,
where thirteen members, with Father Up
church at their head, organized Keystone
Lodge No. 1.
The meeting was called to order by
Grand Master Workman Toohy. E. F.
Joy, P. M. "W. of Valley Lodge, was
chosen chairman of the general committee;
J. F. Florance of Franklin Lodge, vice
chairman, and Walter Malloy, P. M. W. of
Golden West Lodge, secretary.
It was decided that a celebration be held
on the 26th of October.
On motion of the grand master, masters
of lodges in this City and district deputies
were admitted as delegates. A committee
of five, consisting of Lyons of Myrtle
Lodge, Davis of Magnolia, Hanson of Ex

Ruddell Welcomed Back.
Deputy Surveyor of the Port 8. J. Ruddell
put in an appearance at the Custom-house for
a short time yesterday. He returned last Thurs
dey from a month's sojourn in Alaska, and
there was not a person employed in the Fed
eral building but what was genuinely glad to
see him back again. During Mr. Ruudell's
absence Surveyor English attended to all the
details of the office. He was the first to greet
his suboidinate when he stepped from the
gangplanitof tne steamer. Collector Wise also
gave him a very cordial welcome home. Mr.
Ruddell is undoubtedly very popular in the
Custom-houße. He will resume his official

SUED THE PACIFIC MAIL
Gustave Rowan Asks for Fifty
Thousand Dollars Dam
ages.
ONE OF THE COLIMA'S VICTIMS.
An Allegation Designed to Circum
vent the Limited Liability
Law.
Gustave Rowan, one of the survivor of
the Colima, wrecked on the 28th of May of
this year off the coast of Mexico, who was
seriously injured by floating lumber while
drifting about after the vessel sank, has in
stituted suit against the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company for $50,000 damages.
"Under the Federal laws suits aeainst the
owners of wrecked vessels are largely dis
couraged by section 4253, which provides
that:
The liability of the owner of any vessel for
♦ * * damage or injury • ♦ * occasioned
or incurred without the privity or knowledge
of such owners shall in no case exceed the
amount or value of the interest of such owners
in such vessel and her freight then pending.
George W. Monteith, the attorney for
Rowan, in the complaint filed alleges that
defendants wilfully caused a large amount
of rough lumber to be placed loosely upon
the main deck of the steamer and in a
dangerous position ; that at the time the
vessel was wrecked and sank the lumber
was precipitated into the water with plain
tiff and struck him with great force about
the head and body, inflicting great and
permanent injuries upon plaintiff, pre
venting him from following nis usual avo
cation of musician, he being a violinist.
But the important allegation is contained
in the clause which charges that tne plac
ing of this lumber in its dangerous posi
tion was within the actual knowledge of
defendant.
It is claimed that the fact that the com
pany had actual knowledge of the placing
of the lumber in what is charged to be a
dangerous position will prevent the appli
cation of the Federal statute to the case.
