Shipping News and Gossip of the Water Front Twenty-Seven Deep-Sea Vessels -Pass in Through the Golden Gate The greatness of the Port of San Francisco -was demonstrated yesterday by the large number of vessels that passed in through the Golden Gate. <oming from all parts of the world. All but one were heavily laden with cargoes thai in value ran up into mil lions of dollars. In a5l, up to 6 o'clock, twenty-seven deep sea carriers passed in. while anchored off the heads, "just as the sun went down," were two. big Ftiips. both heavily laden, awaiting tugs to bring them in. It was a red letter day for the port, not only in the great number of arriv als, but in the fact that so many ports in widely scatered parts of the world were representend in this enormous delivery of materials for the city's re habilitation. \u25ba Yesterday's arrivals will tax San Francisco's great wharfage capacity to its utmost, while the stevedores and longshoremen have a herculean task before them in. landing the Immense cargoes. Chief among the arrivals was the Arnerican-Hawaila\i Company's steam ship Texan. Captain Lyons, which brought a cargo of more than 7000 tons of general merchandise. including building materials of various kinds. The Texan was 69 days from New York, ; 25 days from Coronal and 40 hours from San Diego. Next in line was the French bark Brizetix. Captain le Roux. with a cargo of 16,667 casks of cement, consigned to Bowring & Co. The bark was 132 days in making the voyage from Ant werp. - -.-..;•. Then came the belated British steam ship Foreric. Captain Gardiner, with 5185 tons of coal. She was S6 days i making the run up from Newcastle. K. S. W. The coal is consigned to Hind, Rolph & Co. The British steamship Capas. Captain | Norris, was another on the list. She \u25a0 came with a full cargo of nitrate, con signed to Grace & Co. She was 30 days making the trip from Antofagasta to this port. The British steamship Tuscarora, Captain Hollinshead, was in ballast from Mojl. She was 20 days on the trip from the islands. The Kosmos line steamship Salatls. Captain Jan^en, helped to make up the fleet. She came from Nanaimo with coal and lumber, some for this port, but the greater quantity for South American points. Added to' the contingent • were three big oil carriers from Southern Cali fornia ports. These were the steam ship Whlttier. with 11,000 barrels; the l-<arge Santa Paula, with 7000 barrels, and the schooner Roderick Dhu, with 3 7.000 barrels, making a total of 35,000 barrels. The bark St. Katherine, Captain launders, brought 31,930 packages of sugar, consigned to Welch & Co. She was twenty-five days in making the voyage from Honolulu. From northern coast ports came fif teen lumber carriers, all laden to their • apacity, bringing the enormous aggre gate of 7.554,000 feet of lumber. This alone would have V»een considered a re markable importation for a single day. The lumber vessels that arrived were the schooner Sea Foam, with 2^0.000 feet: the schooner Coquille River, with 21*4. 000 feet; the schooner Santa Ana. with 550,000 feet; the schooner G. C. Lindauer. with 450.000 feet; the schoo ner. Ivy, with 190.000 feet; the schooner C. S. Holmes, with COO.OOO feet; the schooner Stanley, with 400,000 feet; the schooner A, F. Coats, with 800,000 feet: the schooner •Churchill, with 520,0p0 feet: the schooner Sotoyome. with 650,- i 000 feet: the ship C. E. Moody, with 1.- OOd.ooo feet: the schooner Ruth E. God fry, with 900.000 feet; the bark Lur- Une. with 350.000 feet, and the schooner Esther Buhne, with 250,000 feet. To all of these vessels must be ad ded the two ships lying at anchor off 1 the bar. They are the American ship Aryan, Captain Borenson. 158 days from Baltimore, with a full cargo of Cum berland coals, consigned to the Western Fuel Company, 'and the British ship Hyderabad. Captain Scott. 150 days Ifrom London, laden to her capacity with general -merchandise consigned to E. C. Evans. The scene from Meiggs wharf was an inspiring one, crowds of residents \u25a0watching the great parade into the har bor. Inmtllln Arrives The Pacific Coast Steamship Com !pany's Umatilla came from the ' north* yesterday, crowded with passengers. She bro-uffht S7O persons, which was the largest number she has ever carried. One hundred and fifty were passengers of the steamship Spokane, which ran ashore last week as she was leaving the sound for this city. Although the steamship irat crowded, every passen ger was provided with a berth. Cap tain JComander reported a smooth voy age down the coast, but that the weather was foggy. I*arts Havrj-rr on Bar While steamship Whittier was I coming in over the bar yesterday with the barge Banta Paula in tow. the haw ner connecting the two suddenly parted and the Santa Paula was left bobbing about on the mild swell running at that time. The" Whittier put about to attach another hawser, but the tug Reliance, Captain Olsen. came along, inward bound, took the barge in tow and hauled her over to Point Richmond. So Vent of Rita \pwman No news of the steam schooner Rita * Newman .was reported by the differ «gt vessels that arrived In port yes t»rfiay, although the officers of the ves sels all kept a sharp lookout on the way down the coast. The Newman is now twenty-four days out from the Coquille River. While there is no great fear a* to her safety, there are grave apprehensipns that the crew may be suffering from hunger. She generally makes the run down the coast in from r three to four days, and provisions are • curtailed accordingly, with -a few ex tras added for emergencies. The New man left Coquille River on January 24, bound to this port, with lumber for the Woodside . Company. She was sighted ; on January 25 by the schooner #C. T. ! Hill, £ which vessel reported on arrival here that the machinery of the New .man was disabled, and that the vessel "was proceeding down the coast under sail. Since that time nothing lias been ; heard of the little lumber carrjer.r Cap- • tain Saunders of the St. Katherine, , § which arrived yesterday from Hono lulu, thought he saw a vessel that an rwered her description when two days off this port, but he was not certain. Will Sail on Mnrch S The transport Thomas will, sail on March 5 for the Philippines. She will carry nine troops of the Tenth Cavalry. This Is one of the colored regiments of the arms'- Fetrraon Recover* Henry reterson, the veteran boatman of the water front, who was badly hurt by being etruck by the. crank of a derrick, is again busy on the front. .

Nicholas Winn, a laborer, rushing up to Patrol man Murphy at { the corner jof McAllls-' ter and L.aguna streets shortly after 3 o'clock iyesterday morning, informed him that he had been . beaten and . robbed of: a small amount of money, v He pointed to three men who were just disappearing around the corner on a run and with -the' policeman gave .chase to the trio." The ; latter flred' one shot in the air in an effort to make the fugi tives halt, but they kept on running and escaped.. - ' Harry Barnard i reported yesterday thathe had been lured to a side street on the water v front by two men with whom he had oeen drinking 'during the evening, and; whilejone oC them, held him by- the throat; the other- went through his pockets securing $10 In gold. Barnard says he would recognize the-men 6n*sight: . • 'Louis "Becker, who lives at 1112 Steiner street, sat down on a doorstep in front- of a house at 615^ McAllister street, while on, his s way home J about 6 o'clock yesterday morning, and while sitting; there he: was. robbed ;by , two men at the point of a gun." The hold ups got Jl2 ; .and -some* valuable papers from their victim. \ J.

THE .CONTEST ; The contest is divided into three pe riods, constituted as follows: First, November 19 to January IS, eight weeks; second, January 13 to March 3, sevenweeka; third, March 3 to April 14, 1 six weeks. , t There are twenty-41ve prizes to be competed ;for during each contest; pe riod,-, consisting 'of .twenty-five purses of feold . coin, ranging in amount from $20 up to $500,; and. making a total of $2000 from each period. There are also twenty-five special purses of grand Sweepstake prizes for the twenty-five~contestants making^the best^ scores during the, entire contest, the largest of these purses being $1000 and the. smallest $40, and amounting to $4000 in the aggregate.- The final distribution of the prizes will be made on April 18, the first an niversary, of the San Francisco, fire.

HIGH-PRICED DRINKS ADD TO LIFE'S BURDEN Steam Beer and Lager Must Take Place of Case Goods and Mixtures '•\u25a0Those who habitually journey along the cocktail route are not happy over the edict of the ' California Liquor" Deal ers'. Association .and the Royal Arch decreeing that "case goods" and mixed, drinks shall be charged .for in the;fu ture at; the rate' of 12% cents each. In the days 1 before the fire, and In num berless: locations along tha. line of sa loon: reconstruction .the wise patron of tbe bar.-or. 'the one with, a delicate palate," could. order his particular brand of liquor-f>r a cocktail in the construe tion-of which the highest skill of the bartender would be employed, and the cost; as- a rule, ' Was only 10 cents. The addition' of 2^ cents on the. price of such drinks, taken in the totalof-.th« day's trade, 'would ;go a long way toward paying the higher rents and th* increased cost of living that saloon keepers and, their employes, like other people, have -to! pay. * The devotees of the insidious ab sinthe frappe and' the connoisseur of cocktails will not abandon his favorite tipple : because of the advanced price, though he may.- take ; fewer, drinks, ..if. his credit is limitcd;but there is a sus picion in. the liquor trade that the high price of living has reached other'^quar ters', and the average man, to satisfy his thirst or warm the cockles of his heart, will resort to the bigger and less expensive glasses of steam and lager — which are still quotedat 5 cents. A rpan seldom works aa hard at. any other time, as he -does just, bejore he goes on his vacation or- just after he returns. - of the money. c The contestant receiv ing, the highest number of such votes during any contest period will receive the largest purse: the one receiving the second* highest number of votes the next "largest purse, and so on until the number of prizes allotted for that pe riod Is exhausted. The name rule will apply to the final distribution of the larger prizes'given for the highest ag gregate score*..
