SHE IS NOW IN
SHALLOW WATER,
The Blairmore Raised and
Towed Half a Mile
Inshore.
ALL IS PLAIN SAILING
And the Vessel Will Now Be
Righted and Pumped Out
Immediately.
NARROW ESCAPE OF TWO MEN.
The Sugar Refinery, Gas Works and
Rolling-Mills May Have to Pay
Wharlage.
The Blairmore has been moved into
shallow water and the raisers are confi
dent of success. When operations were
begun she was sunk eleven feet in the
mud. She had to be raised out of this bed
she had made for herself, and that was
the chief difficulty. On several occasions
the bow was raised several times, but just
at the critical moment the pumps would
choke up or the hawsers part. Extra
pumps were placed on the hull and yester
day the first real success was gained.
At low water the air pump was started
and soon the bow began to rise. The
Monarch and Whitelaw were both towing
inshore and when the pumps began to
tell on the water that was in the stern of
the vessel up the vessel came. Then the
strain began to tell and slowly tug, wrecker
and sunken ship moved inshore. When
almost half a mile had been covered the
tide began to flow, and as there were a
i couple of vessels in the way Captain Burns
j determined to stop operations for the day.
' The Blairmore is now in eight feet shal
: lower water than she was last Monday and
•there will now be no difficulty in getting
her on an even keel ana pumping her out.
"I am now satisfied that we will have
the Blairmore up and as good as new in
side of two months," said Captain Burns
yesterday. "Where she was lying there
was a terrible tide running, and it was
hard to work in it. In fact there were
only two or three hours at a time in which
we could do anything. Last night (Mon
day) the tide ran like a millrace, and I
thought everything would be torn out of
; the Whitelaw. As it was our surgine
tangled the hawsers and the Blairmore's
bowsprit, and the latter snapped off close
to the stem. We are now in slack water
nearly all the time, and will be able to
work continuously."
The probable cost of raising and refit
ting the Blairmore will be $t50,000. The
work is being done by the insurance com
panies, and they will make money on the
transaction as the vessel is insured for
$80,000. Had she been abandoned and the
wreck sold it probably would not have
brought more than $1000 at auction, so the I
underwriters will oe fully $29,000 ahead on
the transaction.
News from the whaling fleet that win
tered in the Arctic is not encouraging.
The catch has been a small one and all the
j tish taken were small ones, so the yield in
I bone and oil was a poor one. The catch,
as given in a private letter, was only up to
! last November, but in the meantime many j
lof the vessels may have done better. The
i Mary D. Hume had only 1 whale, New
! port 7, Wanderer 1, Jessie H. Freeman 3, j
j John and Wimhrop 1, Fearless 3, Northern j
i Light 2, Jeanette 1, Karluk 1 and Navarch j
j3. Later advices, which arrived yester- I
j day, give the catch of the Fearless as 5
| and the Orca 6. This news is not authen
■ tic, however, and the officers of the Steam
j Whaling Company discredit it.
Captain Rideout of the steamer Trilby
1 denies that this vessel was in collision j
; with the Svengali. Ha says the Trilby j
j never left her moorings on Monday, and j
] therefore cculd not have been in Mission j
'■ Bay. It must have been some other I
| steamer that the Svengali hypnotized, for
I the collision undoubtedly took ;>lace.
Captain Russell, late of the Rio de ;
Janeiro and City of Para, will take out the i
> San Jose on July 1. The steamer on that
| date wiil make a special round trip to all
i Central American ports and make a clean- !
jup of all delayed freight. A new service i
! will then be inaugurated and the Mail
i Company will oe ready for all opposition i
that may come along. There will also be i
achangeon the Acapulco. Captain Searles, j
i who brought her in, will resume his old |
position of "ship's husband," and Captain
Mortensen will assume command.
The Harbor Commissioners held a short I
| session yesterday and the pile question '
; occupied nearly all their time. The Teredo- j
I proof Pile Company wrotfi complaining i
that the San Francisco Timber Preserving
Company was infringing on its patent, and
stating on the authority of its attorney
I that the board would be" held responsible j
I if it used any of the opposition's piles, in j
; the construction of the* new ferry slips. J
President Colnon thought the Teredo
: proof Pile Company had no ground for
1 complaint, as the Timber Preserving Coru
i pany used creosote on solid logs and then
i nailed on an outside casing, whereas the
: other company built up an artificial log
with small pieces of timber, the latter
j process being on the principle that a teredo
| when at work will never pass a crack in
the wood.
At this point P. F. Dundon, who repre-
I sents the Timber Preserving Company,
I said he would enter into an indemnity
| bond to proiect the commission in the
; event of any lawsuit. The law point was
■ finally submitted to the board's attorney
I for his opinion, and the pile question was
I turned over to Chief Engineer Holmes.
| with full power to act-
President Colnon raised the question of J
! dockage charges at the Union Iron Works, I
! rolling-mills, gas works and sugiir refinery. {
j At none of those m ami factories is dockage j
! paid, and the Commissioner thought it
should be, as the board has full authority
over the water front, from the Presidio to
the county line. On the motion of Com- j
missioner Chadbourne the matter was re
ferred to the attorney for hi: opinion.
Thomas O'Neil and Ed Jones had a nar
row escape for their lives ypsterday after- I
ternoon. When off Blossom RocK their j
boat capsized, and they drifted around on [
the keel for nearly half an nour. Finally
the Monticello came along and Captain ■
Randall went to their a-sistnnce. lie was
en route for Vallojo, but went out of nis '
way to put ihe men aboard the revenue
cutter Hartley. Their boat also was
picked up, and the men were landed at I
Meiggs wharf little the worse for their j
ducking.
A Whitehall boat with two men in it
capsized yesterday afternoon off Blossom
Rock. They were rescued by the steamer
Monticello. The United States steamer
Hartley also went to the rescue and picked
up the boat. The rescued men were
Thomas O'Neil, a runner, and partner.
They were transferred from the Monti

THE CARNIVAL QUEENS
Four Will Prf>bably Be Chosen to Sit
lifiiraih Cardinal, Blue and
Gold.
At the meeting of the executive commit
tee Monday of the Carnival of the Golden
Gate the proposition submitted for
charging 10 cents per vote in the electing
of a carnival queen was defeated. It was
decided that aspirants to that honor
should send in their applications to the
executive committee accompanied by
vouchers from two business men of good
standing. The dates for receiving appli
cations are from July 5 to September 19 at
10 p. m. The executive committee will
directly choose the queen from these
applications.
There will be probably a queen repre
senting the Stale of California, one for the
City, one for the Fire Department and
one for the school-children.
Tne colors for decorations and badges
wiil probably be a combination of the car
dinal of Stanford with the blue and gold
of Berkeley, which is said to be particu
larly showy and beautiful. These colors
were the original suggestions of T. L.
Rosen thai.
A prize of $25 will be paid by the execu
tive committee of the Carnival of the
Golden Gate for a design which will em
body ;i week of festivities and be symboli
cal of San Francisco and its Golden Gate.
All drawings must be done in ink and be
submitted to the executive committee on
or before Monday, July 6, at 4 p. m. The
accepted design will become the property
of the committee and will be copyrighted.
It will figure on all the stationery and
badges and be conspicuous in all decora
tions
It was deemed advisable to leave the
final selection of carnival colors, badges
and regalia to the committee which Chair
man Wariield appointed as follows: F. A.
Haber, Rapnael Weill, J. J. O'Brien, W.
D. Harper and William Newman.
Owing to his absence from the City
Major Rathbone resigned and S. H. Fried
lander was appointed upon the executive
committee upon the recommendation of
the committee on theatrical benefits.
The finance committee has prepared 600
circulars for distribution among the lead
ing lirnis ana business houses asking liuan

THE NATION'S DAY
HEAR AT HAND.
Progress of the Prepara
tions for Its Ob
servance.
FUN FOR THE ORPHANS.
A Creditable and Patriotic
Demonstration Is Now
Assured.
ITS MANY FINE FEATURES.
The Expense Estimates Scakd Down
Last Evening by the Executive
Committee.
i It is now a foregone conclusion that the
coming Fourth of July celebration will be
I a credit to San Francisco. There will be a
j fine military parade, aud the literary ex
ercises at the Auditorium will be unusual
ly enjoyable. The children of the several
orphan asylums will be well entertained
in Golden Gate Park, and pyrotechnics,
while not especially elaborate, will be
tasteful and appropriate.
In consequence of the late date of the
organization of the executive committee
and the limited time remaining in which
to solicit subscriptions some of the features
originally contemplated in the demon
stration have been abandoned.
It was wished to adopt the idea of the
! decoration committee, for a grand electri
j cal illumination and ornamentation of
i the principal streets for three consecutive
! days, but now it is the general sentiment
\ that to carry it out would be far too expen
sive. It is also doubtiul if the Continental
j Army will make as conspicuous a figure
| in t,he parade as was at first intended.
There will not be any lack of patriotism,
! though; the Sons of the American Revo
i lution will turn out. if the so called Con
j tinental Array does not. The Declaration
of Independence wiil be read by John
! Robinson, the son of a soldier of the
I Revolution, and an oration will be dcliv
' ered by Zeaas U. Dodge, the grandson of a
soldier of the Revolution. The tableaux
will be excellent, and so will the vocal
chorus of 200 voices.
At its session last evening the executive
committee addressed itself to the task of
scaling down the sums demanded by the
various sub-committees, so that the ex
penses incurred should not by any mis
chance exceed the receipts. The auditing
committee considered the $3500 asked for
; by the parade committee to be too high,
' and advised a reduction of from 2o to 30
i per cent. Favorable reports were made
, upon the following items:
National Guard, $780; two floats, $300;
music, $800; regalia, .f-JOO; literary commit
tee..s4 UO; invitation and reception committee
$750; fireworks, $1000. With other minor
; items this made a loiul of $t>533.
The collections to date, reported by the
| finance committee, aggregate $22:54, ' with
j the Southern Pacific Cttmpauy, the banks
and insurance companies yet to come.
Grand Marshal Umbsen said he would
like an appropriation for two more floats
in the parade and $4iiO for the Continental
i Army. The $780 appropriated for the Na
i tional Guard of California was finally
adopted and action upon the other appro
; priations was deferred. There was some
! talk of dispensing with a grand stand, but
j the question was not finally determined.
The orphans (800 in all) will be taken
! out to Golden Gate Park, where the Native
Daugt;ters of tbe Golden West and
the Ladies of the Grand Army of the
j Republic will take care of them. They i
| will be given a luncheon, rides on the I
i merry-go-round, etc., and each orphan
will be presented with a neat little souvenir
flag. It is expecteu that free transporta
tion will be furni.thed the children to and !
\ from the park oy the Market-street Rail
! way Company. Upon their return to the
| City in the evening the orphans will be
I further entertained with a modest cx
i hibition of fireworks.
Secretary Adrian Smith of the Fourth i
of July Committee is in receipt of an ap- I
plication from the Portuguese Union No. j
7 to h;ive a float in the parade representing !
the first circumnavigation of the globe. I
This will be very elaborate and beautiful. ■
Albert Clark, a San Francisco lad, has j
; also requested that he be allowed to ride
; in the procession with a cart drawn by
j dogs in tandem.
The ship captains want a float with a
j saluting flag on it, that can be dipped and
manipulated according to the signal rules
I laid down by the United States nay> r .
I Captain A. P. Spear is the principal in
| this idea.
The public schools are taking a lively |
interest in the celebration and little tots !
come every day to the headquarters in- j
| quiring about floats and the costumes !
necessary for the parade. The entire Sec- i
ond Brigade of the National Guards will :
turn out under the command of Major !
Charles H. Murphy. The major is on |
General Warneid's staff, and the general j
Another reason
why we give money back if you don't like
Schilling's Best tea :
All tea sold in the United States is
roasted in far-away tea countries ; and, on
the way here, it loses that crisp delicacy
of flavor that tea has when it is first roasted.
All tea, except Schilling's Best, which
is roasted by machinery (clean) in San
Francisco, and goes to your grocer soon
after being roasted.
We want it to go to you — quick. That
is why we say "Money back if you don't
like it." We don't want it to stay around
on the grocer's shelves until it is old like
other tea.
San Francisco «» A Schilling & Company
I has taken this as a compliment to himself
and promises to spare no pains in making
J the display particularly fine. The num
ber of bands will not be decided until next
Friday.
The committee expresses itself disposed
to favor the presence of union men among
the musicians as far as is possible, yet it
may be necessary to have some non-union
men in line. The Musicians' Union has
met the committee in a very amicable
manner and has offered to play in the
parade with the non-union men, owing to
the fact that it is a patriotic celebration. /
The Grand Army men are going to turn
out in good force, and the Seven Pines
Circle, Woman's Relief Corps, is now pre
paring a float of great beauty, the nature
of which they refuse to divulge. The Vet
eran Volunteer Firemen will be promi
nently placed in line and will turn out in
large number. The Fire Department will
also have a large representation in the pa
rade.
Besides these the Leagne of the Cross
Cadets will turn out with all their com
j panics. The Sons of Revolutionary Sires,
including some of the most, prominent
citizens, will be represented. An invita
tion has been sent to Governor Budd and
stuff, and it is hoped he will be present to
add to the glory and pageantry of the
day.
The staff officers have not all been se
lected, as all the appointees have not yet
been heard from, and the announcements
will not be made until all the returns are
' in. It is provided, however, to have one
chief of staff, five chief aids, thirty aids,
twelve marshals of division and twenty
four aids to the marshals.
The literary programme promises to be
exceedingly tine. The chairman of the
literary committee already has received a
great quantity of poetic effusions, and the
competition for the $50 prize is very keen.
The decoration committee met yester
day, but decided it could do nothing until
lit was allowed $800. All committees
are instructed to hand in type-written re
ports of the amounts of money they re
' quire by next Thursday, when the execu-
I live committee will audit them, together
1 with the reports of the finance committee
lon the amount received. Appropriations
I will then be made, and all committees will
1 thereafter work with more definiteness.
A communication was received from the
i Retail Hatters' Association, saying that
' all the places of ' business of exclusive hat

Burglars Blow Ip Safes.
The ease with which skilled burglars
break open 3afe«, even so-called burglar
proof ones, causes them to be regarded
with distrust as secure places for the de
posit of valuables. An insurance against
loss by burglars that beats a burglar-proof
bafe is a policy in the New England Burg
lary insurance Company. It indemnifies
ajrainst loss not alone of valuables but for
all damages to property caused by the
burglars.
HAPPY PICNICKERS
AT SAN RAFAEL,
The Enjoyable Reunion of
St. Brigid's Parish
ioners.
LEAGUE OF THE CROSS.
Company G Has a Merry and
Memorable Day in Schuet
zen Park.
IN AID OF THE NEW CHURCH.
There Were G mes and Dancing With
out Any Intemperance — A Model
Gathering.
From morning until evening yesterday
at Schuetzen Park, picturesquely located
in the hills of Marin County, tbere was a
scene of youthful merriment. It was a |
sociable gathering of Company G, League j
of the Cross Cadets, and a large crowd was
in attendance.
The boats of the Tiburon ferry leaving
San Francisco at 9 and 11 a. m. and 12:38
and 3:30 p. m. were crowded with the
| cadets and their invited guests. The hours
I of the morning and the afternoon were
| parsed pleasantly and all too quickly in
the athletic i antes and dances usual with !
such gatherings, and it was 6:30 p. m. I
before the last of the merry company took
the special train and journeyed back to
tbe City.
The League of the Cross, as is well
j known, is a total abstinence society under
the auspices of the Roman Catholic
church. All young men between the ages
of 16 and 21 years are eligible to member
ship in the cadets. Company G was or- I
i g.inized in St. Brigid's parish in May,
1894, and mustered into the First Regi
ment of the League of the Cross Cadets in
I the following month with fifty members ,
enrolled. It is now commanded by EL J.
, Power, captain ; Owen McMahon, first ;
j lieutenant; James J. Scanlan, second lien- \
j tenant. Following is the list of tbe non
j commissioned officers: First sergeant,
i William Madden; second sergeant, Robert
Powers; third sergeant, James Toohy; \
! fourth serge-ant, William Hennessy; fifth j
sergeant, .Tos-ph Maloney; first corporal, j
' D. J. Earle; second corporal, H. Griffiths:
; third corporal, P. Colligan; fourtn corpo
\ ral, William Curry ; tilth corporal, Thomas
I Crowley; quartermaster-sergeant, William
Dixon.
Company G has a record to be coveted.
; Its percentage at a recent, inspection was
98. and its labors in tbe grand competitive !
I military drill of last year were so noticea- ;
■ ble tha< it was awarded a $25 pri^e. Ser- \
! gennt William Dixon, one of its non-com-
I missioned officers, bore away from 150
| competitors the Ryland trophy, and Cap
i tain Powers wears upon his breast the
| Montgomery medal, the object of each
'company's ambition. It is almost super
fluous to say that all of the cadets carry
! sabers, are handsomely uniformed in blue
! and well drilled.
At Schuetzen Park yesterday the young
folks talked and lunched under the shady
trees and strolled around the grounds and
danced in the pavilion.
There were suitable athletic games for
t'irlß, voting ladies; married ladies, fat
women, members of the Immaculate Con- !
ception Sodality, boys, altar - boys and j
members of St. Aloysius Sodality. There !
I were also races for the cadets, the married
i men and tne fat men, the winners of
i which were awamed suitable prizes.
01<i St. Brigid'B Church, at the corner of
j Van Ness avenue and Broadway, was \
j built in September, 1864, by Archbishop I
i Alemany. A new and handsome modern j
| structure is now in course of erection upon j
j the site of tne old church, the Rev. J. E.
, Cottle pastor, and it was to aid in defray
i ing the expenses of the building and to be j
I commemorated in one of its stained-glass
[ windows, when completed, that the cadets
; held their picnic at Shuetzen. Under j
I these circumstances it was sure to be sue
! cessful and enjoyable.

having its details in charge:
