2 tion arrived at an agreement upon a candidate who undoubtedly would have proved satisfactory; to all classes and factions Immediately after the com mercial and labor organizations re fused to accept the. rehabilitation plan submitted by District Attorney Lang : don. The man of their choice, who is tem porarily out of the city, stands at the head of his profession and Is In no way Identified with either capital or labor or with any of the persons Interested in'tbe prosecution of the" graft; cases. He would have been as acceptable to labor as to the commercial Interests, but when communicated with he was compelled to decline the election. His refusal was based not on an unwill ingness to serve the people of San Francisco but upon his Inability to ac commodate his private business to the pnblic service he was Invited to take up. Pending the. definite declination .of the man first chosen, the board of supervisors was assembled at 2. o'clock', rtnd then permitted to adjourn until 4 o'clock and again until S o'clock last night. Before the supervisors had aa sembled after their second adjourn ment the second choice had been maae,': but the man chosen had not been com municated with and the supervisors again adjourned until 4 oclock this afternoon. - „»£. While the members of the graft prosecution decline to, disclose the Identity of the new mayor until after his name has been communicated to. the board of supervisors, "if may be" stated authoritatively that he Is neither merchant nor laboring man. He has been chosen with reference to three distinct qualifications. The nrst <W> these lies in the question of his ability and Integrity, tire second in-the proba bility of his being acceptable to all parties to the existing industrial dls^ sensions and finally his entire disasso ciation jvith the prosecution or any^of its' members, either In a business -or close personal sense. > The alleged friction between f!i'« members of the prosecution is a myth. In a. statement . piven to, the prfcsa^ District Attorney Langdon"' said last night: - . ,-.,-,• \u0084.?>v «The member* of the proneeutlon are a unit.

" continued, the district attorney. with_ marked etn^V phasis. "We are only too anxious to be relieved of this onerous load. If .we wanted a mayor who would bow to the big stick we would not troubje our selves to ask the people to choose "a mayor.

Pigman. The ship, while in Philippine waters on November 1, 1899, struck 'on rocks and was wrecked. Conspicuous in the" list of naval dis asters was that In | the harbor of Apia, Samoa, In the hurricane -of March IS. 1899. The Nipalc, the Trenton and the Vandalla \ were lost. I!our officers and 47 men lost : their live,a. . Among those who died was the commander of the Vandalla. Captain C N. Schoonmaker. The-Nipslc .was 4 enabled to reach a place of • comparative safety on- the beach. The Vandalla struck on a reef, where' she remained exposed to the fury of the storm, her officers and men taking refuge In the "rigging, while the seas swept over her..: Many of the crew were lost An the attempt to swim ashore. The Trenton "had the misfor tune early in- the 'storm to lose her wheel, and break her "' rudder. The water put -out the fires and, the vessel drifted almost at the mercy of the gale, finally coming ashore. On ' December. 15, 1904, the Massa chusetts : lost three of her crew, when a gasket blew- off a boiler and: filled the ; flreroom with steam.' This oc curred at the League island navy yard. The same ship met with, a worse-ac cident the year preceding off Culebra island on' January 16. 1903, when the accidental : discharge of a - percussion primer while the gun breach was open resulted In the killing of six men. ; The lowa,' when v off Pensacola, on April 9, 1903, suffered a serious accident by: the bursting of the port 12 inch gun in the forward turret. • Three men were killed and 'five Injured. This ac cident was caused by the explosion of a shell midway In > the gun." Twelve days later the lowa again met with misfortune by. the bursting of one of the steam pipes in her boiler room. ' ; The Ericsson met with .a mishap off New. London In July, 1895. when a steam .cylinder burst. Five/ of the crew -were terribly scalded and several died from their. injuries. . ; : . DR. PIEnCE'S.

It ia also a specific remedy for all such chronic or long standing cases of catarrhal affec- tions and their resultants, as bronchia},' throat and long disease (except consump- tion) accompanied with severe coughs. It' Is not so good for acute colds and coughs, but for lingering, or chronic cases ft is especially efficacious in producing per- fect cures. It contains Black Cherrybark, Golden Seal root, Bloodroot, Stone root. Mandrake root and Queen's root— all of which are highly praised as remedies for all the above mentioned affections by such '\u25a0 eminent medical writers and teachers as Prof. Bartholow, ofAJefferson Med.
