Shipping News and Gossip
of the Water Front
Friendly Racing Enlivens Voyage
of British Ship Whitlieburn
Exciting as the occasion of an ocean
yacht race were nineteen of the 134
days occupied by the British ship
Wbltlieburn in winging her way to this
port from Antwerp. She arrived on
Sunday evening and passed quarantine
early yesterday morning. She reached
port a few hours later than the British
thip Madagascar, v which left Antwerp
two days ahead of the Whltliebum.
The Madagascar was responsible for
twelve of the YThitlieburn's exciting
days.
The Whltliebum overhauled the
Madagascar in latitude 16 north, longi
tude 121 west, and for twelve days the
vessels were within view of one an
other. It was not much of a view.
They could barely see one another's
lower topsails, but on each Bhip it was
tnown that on the other vessel every
effort was being made to get ahead.
There was no rest on the Whitlieburn
while the Madagascar's sticks were
visible. Advantage was taken of every
oatspaw, and it was pull and haul, with
little rest between, for all hands.
For seven days of the voyage the
Whitlieburn was 6ide by side with the
ships Yola and Scottish Glens. During
that time the vessels were about three
miles apart and fairly abreast in a
line that was preserved until a squall
scattered the ships.
In latitude 42 south, longitude 62
west the Whitlieburn passed a proces
sion of twenty-one icebergs, which
formed a southwest line for a number
of miles. Much •wind was encountered
off Cape Horn. The Whitlieburn was
seventeen days running from 50 to 50.
MaripoKa Sail* for Tahiti
The Oceanic Steamship Company's
liner Mariposa, Captain Lawless, sailed
yesterday afternoon for Tahiti. Among
the passengers was H. C. Bush, traffic
manager for the Colorado Midland
Railway. Bush formerly was with the
Santa Fe and Is well known here. He
is accompanied by his daughter and by
William Nichols and Miss S. Nichols.
They are making the trip purely for
pleasure, as are most of the other
passengers, among whom are: D. At
water, Mrs. F. J. Hill. Miss C. Moore,
Miss A. Moore, Mr. and Mrs. M- A.
Moore, Mrs. Henry Taylor, L. M. Dailey,
DJ McLean, L. Blake, M. Thuret, John
Thomas, A. E. McCord, .air. and Mrs.
\V. E. Cochrane, Mrs. C H. Peeples,
Mrs. F. L. Lawrence, J. L. Barker, Felix
Itiviere, W. S. Beattle, W. A. 3arlage.
r Korea to >ail Today
The Pacific Mail liner Korea, Captain
Landberg, will 6ail at noon today for
the Orient with a large cargo and many
passengers. Among the latter will be
ex-Governor Adams of Colorado and
iirs. Adams, who are taking a pleasure
1 rip to Japan. H. A. Taylor, a former
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury,
also will be a passenger. Another pas
penger will be E L. Paddock, Consul
General at Amoy, who \ came home a
bachelor recently and is returning with
his wife, to whom he was married a
few days ago In Montreal.
The Korea's cargo will include about
150 tons of supplies for the Asiatic
squadron.
Maklne Long: Passage
Some fears are developing for the
welfare of the crew of the power
schooner Rita Newman, which left Co
<jui)le twuv« days ago with a cargo or
Juaiber f4r this port. The Newman Is
propelled* Jay a gasoline engine. The
engineer quit'" at Coquille and i\. is
ihought'his successor may be having
trouble with the engine. The Newman
. can get here under sail, but if the
voyage is prolonged much more it is
feared that those on board will be on
. slxort rations of food and water.
Mistaken, for a Junk Thief
A. t'ayman of 3505 Sacramento street
was treated at the Harbor Hospital
yesterday for a lacerated scalp and a
fractured rib, injuries received as the
result of indulging idle curiosity. Say
raan noticed a number of men at Mis
sion and Beale streets examining a
of scrap iron piled on a fenced-in
pJit. Walking through an open place
' jn the fence, Sayman also "rubbered."
The scrap neap proved uninteresting
and he was walking away when some
person, probably a watchman, ad
flre'ssed Sayman as "thief," knocked
him down with a^ sample from the junk
" jiile and kicked him on the ribs.
"Me t» my own business after this,"
remarked Sayman as he left the hos
pital, corseted in adhesive, plaster and
wearing a great collodion patch on his \
head. >

It is thought that the citrua growers
will;take advantage of the opportunity
to make public their grievances in: the
matter of alleged exoessive •' freight
rates, excessive/ Icing '^charges by a
monopoly and a; lack vof competition
among the railroads; for.:this ;business.
The recent shortage of cars and a: fuel
famine in* the city will J probably, have
parts In the hearing. < . : .
The merchants of San Bernardino will
appear with a complaint j against"^the
Eastern. freight rates to that town,
which are much higher, than' to terminal
points on the coast having water com
petition, v it is also expected \ that \u25a0 the
final chapter in the Harriman; merger
will: be enacted here and that' a rigid
inquiry will be pursued- into | the" man
ner of operation of fthe three trans

. The v fourth week of the second period

\u25a0 Miss Norma Merani of ' Oakland still
leads .with ; a comfortable 'plurality and
many more jin sight. >, The : Italian
people all over the State (and .there are
about 100.000 of them in California) are
taking the ''\u25a0 liveliest • kind of Interest in
thei success '. of ; the accomplished young
lady;- who h Is 5 co ?. ablyl representing .the
Italian . nationality : inft the . race. \u25a0 The'
popularity 1 of 'the • f atherVof the ; young
lady.pSignorJJoe: Merani,- is jno, small
factor -in -Miss Merani's success, as \u25a0 his
friends "i, are ;: legion ]; >; throughout -y-l the
State. ', - Many ;' who r do ' , not know .^ Miss
Merani" personally.; are supporting - her
on > her] father's] account :
Mrs. Doherty of Sacramento is benjd-
in& all her energies to gain the leader
ship. A gain of 6000 in her score yes
terday brought her up to within 2100
of Miss Merani, but she will have to try
again, and then perhaps several times
more, before she can achieve the post of
honor, for Miss Merani is adding some
thing to her score every day in the
week.
Sacred Heart College-, registered a
gain of 14,750, but is still 6100 votes
behind Mrs. Doherty and 8200 behind
Miss Merani. . A ! good many people
thought Sacred Heart College would
again win first prize easily, but it is
beginning rto look as though an indi
vidual contestant will get away with
the- $500 purse thjs time. The college
seeme^to have shot its best bolts in the
first period, but as It still has nearly ,
four .weeks more to. show what It can
do in the present period, It ' Is perhaps
too - early to prognosticate that its
friends lack the power and enthusiasm
to win for -it first prize-again.
