Loaded with wheat and bar ley she left Tacoma October 14, 1900. in command of Captain Robert Bryce. She was bound for Leith, but Novem ber IK was found to he on fire. All attempts failed -to extinguish the flames and Captain Bryce ran for Pit cairn Island. The Governbr of the island came off to the burning ship in a boat, told Captain Bryce that Pit cairn offered no suitable place to beach the vessel and advised the skip per to run for Manga Reva. The Pyrenees was run on the beach at this latter place, sixteen days after the dis covery of the flre. For hours after the grew left her the flames leaped high from her blazing hold and the fire wan still smoldering when Bryce and his men took . boat for Tahiti. The shipwrecked mariners arrived here early in 1901, passengers on the liner Australia. The Pyrenees was of fered for sale by the underwriters, but all bids were rejected. Captain I. E. Thayer subsequently bought the wreck, went to Manga Reva and took personal charge of getting his bargain afloat. It was a long, arduous and expensive undertaking, but Thayer stayed with it and succeeded in sailing the ship to this port. The flre had twisted out of shape the vessel's frames and a task more hopeless than, getting the Pyrenees into shipshape condition was never undertaken. Thousands of dollars were spent on the work and at last the steel ship Pyrenees, looking like her old stout self, emerged from the tangled mass of fire-seared Junk. Nearlv every member of the Mer chans 1 Exchange signed Captain Thay er's petition for American register and yesterday the owner of the Pyrenees was the recipient of many- congratula tions on the happy consumation of his herculean task. The Pyrenees was built at Glasgow in 1891 and is a vessel of 2243 ..tons register. She is said now to be as good as new. \\-fi- The ship Pyrenees has been granted American register. As- long aK she floats and flies the , stars and stripes Phe wil be a monument to the per severing pluck of Captain I. E.

Burnett testified yes terday in the United States District Court that Lee Lim, a Chinese cisar manufacturer, paid him either $150 or $200 in- June or July of last year to substitute a Chinese coolie, who wanted a free passage to China, for a Chinese coolie who was in the County Jail awaiting deportation. ""• United States Secret Servjce Agent William J. Burns testified that Wil liam F. Dasha, at that time a jaUer in the County Jail, admitted to him last -September that Lee Lim had been one of the Chinese implicated in' the substitution conspiracy. William F. Dasha, who is beginning a year's Imprisonment in the Alameda County Jail for his participation in the substitution cases, testified that he had not made such a statement to Burns and that he had never heard the name of Lee Lim mentioned in the conspiracy. After the opening argument by As sistant United States Attorney Ben L. McKinley and the reply by S. M. Shortridge the court adjourned until this morning.. Former Jailor Burnett Swears That the Accused Paid Illm a I tribe of Two Hundred Dollars. I.KE LIM'S PATK AVI LI. HE DKCIDKD SIIOKTIA* Herrick. however, claimed that the $l£0 was for other work altogether and was independent of the one for $96. He was given one week to prove his asser tion in that particular. It developed that there are many other demands of 1893 that were merged into those of 1S94, and if the decision goes against the city it will mean th« payment of thousands of dollars on demands that were supposed to have been canceled. Judge Golden took occasion to repri mand for his carelessness J. X. Ross of the National Law Company, who were sued jointly by Mrs. S. A. Loth for a promissory note against James E. Moore or its value. The testimony showed that Mrs. Loth placed the note in the hands of Ross for collection, but he subsequently refused to give her the note or the amount. Ross testified that the note had been sent to Lindsa & Netherton, in Fanta Cruz, but ft had been lost in transit. Golden charac terized the loss as a piece of careless ness on Ross' part and gave judgment against him. "canceled" on the request of the Fin ance Committee, because it • had been satisfied in the subsequent demand. The demand of $96 was then marked The payment Of a number of de mands against the municipality is in volved in the suit of C. H. Herrick ver sus the city for $96 for work done in 11*93 and now being tried by Justice of the Peace Golden. The testimony developed that Her rick had painted a police station in the year named, but was unable to set his pay because the funds were ex hausted. ?Ierrick was firm in his as sertion that he was never paid for his work, but contradictory evidence vcas given by former Auditor Broderick and ex-Supervisor P. J. Kennedy. Broderick testified that the $96 was included in a subsequent demand for $150 paid to Herrick in 1894. The ir regular proceeding had been adopted in • order that Herrick could get his money. Broderick wascorroborated by Kennedy, who was chairman of the Po lice Committee. ?'<¦;•;-* The members of the faculty that took part in the exercises were Rev. John S.
