STEAMSHIP YAQUINAASHORE AT HUENEME.

Lies in Dangerous Position, and WillProbably Prove a Loss,

That is, So Far as the Vessel's Hull is

Concerned.

Belief That the American Ship

Samaria, Coal Laden From Seattle

to San Francisco, Now Many Days

Overdue, Has Gone to the Bottom.

HUENEME, April 12.?A1l opinionsagree that the steamer Yaquina ashorehere will, so far as her hull is concerned,be a total loss. It is believed the vesselhas a big hole stove near her propeller.

The weather continues fine, but the yes-

sel lies in dangerous proximity to thewharf, and with a sea or a west wind,

threatens to go through that structure.

The fear regarding a possible explo-

sion of dynamite on board has sub-sided. The steamer Coos Bay arrivedduring the night and Captain Hall, withAgent Greenwall have, with boats andengine and derrick on the wharf, re-moved all the freight between decks,much of which is valuable.

The tug Reliance, with Captain MinorGoodall on board, is due from San Fran-cisco to-morrow evening. She is fittedwith powerful pumps, and will pump thewater from the lower hold to permitthe removal of the balance of thefreight, but nothing can save the hull.

THE SHIP SAMARIA.

Belief That the Overdue Vessel HasGone to the Battom.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 12.?Thegeneral opinion in shipping circles isthat some dire calamity has befallen theAmerican ship Samaria, twenty-threedays out from Seattle for San Francisco

coal laden. Several Captains whostarted from Seattle at the same timetime are firmly convinced that the Sa-maria is at the bottom of the sea. Themaster, Captain Mcßae, had on boardhis wife and two children. The othervessels that started in company withthe Samaria made the trip in elevenor twelve days.

It is known that several days afterthe Samaria sailed she was caught in asevere gale, which Captain Ryder of theElwell declares was the worst he everencountered. The Samaria was an oldvessel built in INTO, and it is said shewas under the disadvantage of havingpoor shifting boards.

EX-QUEEN LILIUOKALANI.

OBJECT OF HER VISIT TO THISCOUNTRY.

Does Not Expect to be Restored to the

Throne, But Wants Some One Else

Than Dole as President.

WASHINGTON, April 12.?1t is an-nounced this morning that ex-QueenLiliuokalani of Hawaii, who has beenvisiting this country for severalmonths, has no desire for the restoia-

I ion of the monarchy in the islands.She realizes that such a thing at thislate date is impossible. Could shehave persuaded this Government tohave personally take up her fight theremight have been a chance for the re-storation of the old order of things. Butafter the lapse of several years the

overthrow of the Republic is hopeless.

It is now asserted that the mission oftha ex-Queen is simply to secure theinterference of our Government in thematter of present administration in

jHawaii. The ex-Queen pronounces the

IDole Government an illegal one andjshe wishes President McKinley to sojpronounce it. She says that the elec-tion in which the present officials were

;chosen was an illegal one, in that it did| not give every citizen of the islandsthe right to vote.

Liliuokalani's plan is to have theAmerican Government espouse hercause in so far as to order the holdingof a new election in the islands. She

ibelieves that such an election would;overthrow the Dole Government, and

she claims that she would then beelected President in his place. She says

Ithat she dees not desire to be QueenI again.

Those close to the McKintey admin-istration assert that the ex-Queen'smission is hopeless. They say thatthere is no probability that the Ameri-can Government would take such astep with reference to the HawaiianGovernment. McKinley is believed tobe friendly to some form of annexationor to the establishment of some kind ofAmerican protectorate, but he will notattempt to interfere with the present

Hawaiian administration unless suchinterference would result in closer rela-tionship of some kind.

The evident intention of Japan totake possession of the islands hascaused some uneasiness in Washing-ton among those who favor annexation,and it is suid that prompt action shouldbe taken by this Government to pre-vent such a calamity. It is now knownhere that, notwithstanding the de-mands at the time qoncerning the rea-son of the Philadelphia's hurried tripto Honolulu, that ship was really or-dered there on account of news re-ceived from the American representa-tive there calling attention to the floodsof Japanese pouring into the counti-yand the evident intention of the Japan-ese to overwhelm the other peoplethere, both native and foreign.

NINE JURORS NOT ENOUGH.Supreme Court Decision in a Case

Appealed From Utah.WASHINGTON, April 12.?1n the

case of the American Publishing Com-pany vs. Fisher Brewing Company, ap-pealed from the Supreme Court of theTerritory of Utah, the Supreme Court,through Justice Brewer, rendered anopinion holding as invalid the Terri-torial statute validating verdicts in civilcases in which only nine jurors concur.

The ground on which the law was pro-Bounced objectionable is found in theseventh amendment to the Constitutionand in the general law confirming thestatutes of the various Territories, "sofar as they authorize a uniform courseof proceeding in all cases whether legalor equitable."

The court expressed the opinion thatuniformity was a prerequisite in all Ter-itorial cases. No opinion was expressedas to the validityof such a law under aState form of government. The case it-self involved a claim of $20,<J00.

The court affirmed the decision of theSupreme Court of Washington inthe cases from that State brought toenjoin the State and county author-ing a tax upon the capital stock of theties from levying upon the safe andtime locks and other personal propertyof the banks, for the purpose of collect-banks under the State law of 1801. Itwas contended that the law was inconflict with Section ."219 of the Re-vised Statutes of the United States, butthe court held that such was not the

case.Justice Gray rendered the opinion of

the court in the case of Morris L. Glad-son vs. the State of Minnesota, affirm-ing the decision of the State SupremeCourt. The case involved the validityofthe Minnesota State law requiring allpassenger trains on State railroads tostop at County Seats which are railroadstations, which to-day's opinion af-firms.

I The Supreme Court took a recess afterjannouncing several opinions to-day un-til next Monday, the llhh instant. Thejcourt advanced the Texas anti-trust

I cases on the docket to be heard on the; second Monday of the next term. Thei law in controversy defines trusts and de-ic lares them to be illegal. Several ar-rests were made under it, but the pris-

| oners were released by the Federal\u25a0 Court on motion for habeas curpus. Thei State authorities appeal to the Supreme'Court. Edward L. Shaw filed a motion! for a writ of certiorari to the Circuiti Court of Appeals of the Ninth Circuiti in the case of the Mutual Life Insurance! Company vs. Nellie Phinney, executrix[of the estate of Guy C. Phinney, to havethe case brought to the Supreme Court.

: The case Involves an insurance policy ofIfIOO.OOO, It was decided against theiinsurance company by the CaliforniajFederal Courts.

AMUSEMENTS.

One of the severest tests of versatilecapacity in a stock company of whichwe have had knowledge was that atthe Clunie Opera-house last night, asexemplified by the presentation of "AMidnight Alarm" by the Pearson StockCompany. The round of characters waswholly different from anything inwhich the troupe has been seen here,with a single exception, one characterbeing a copy of a personation in thefirst week of the engagement. Thewhole tone of the play, rnnd the entiredemand upon the abilities of the com-pany were for versatile capacity, adap-tability and the taking of charactersin many cases directly opposed to whatone would suppose to be the taste orability of the actor. But there was nofaltering and no failure. The sensa-tional melodrama with its lurid scenesand ultra romanticism was given aseasily and smoothly as if the troupeplayed that alone. The parts apparent-ly fitted the people as if born to them.The story is that of an effort to de-prive a child of its rights to its estateand name, the sacrifice of a young marto save the honor of a dead brother;the heroism of a New Yorkfireman; the true love of two devotedwomen despite obstacles and all man-ner of discouragements; the triumphof the right and the punishment of vil-lainy. The scenery is very handsowe,two scenes especially so; that of Brook-lyn bridge and of a drawbridge wPha passing train saved from wreck bythe courage of two girls who closed thedraw in the nick of time. In the fourthact the scene is in a house of the NewYork Fire Department; an alarmsounds and the fire apparatus is dash-ed across the stage by two spiritedhorses. In a literary sense the play isweak. But its sentiment is clean,sound and strong. If the language iscommonplace the action is spirited,and the thought is wholesome. W. J.Jossy as the hero makes a manly one,he is a clear and carely reader ?just abit too rapid at times ?and invests hisacting with the spirit and feeling of atrained, well balanced intelligence. Heis an especially clever leading man.Mr. Morris, who, the first week of theengagement, was a young hero of graceand comeliness, last night was a jlb-bering, cruel old miser and villain ofthe play, and he acted it faultlessly.Mr. Brummel as the persecuted youth

of the melodrama was manly, intelli-gent and painstaking. Three bettermen in the lead scarcely any companyneed wish for. Miss Foster, the sou-brette. was at her best last night. Sheis a charming little person, and sings

and dances no better than she acts, andthe latter she does with the skill andease of an accomplished artist in herune. Mr. McAlplne, the low comedian,had a congenial part, and with MissFoster furnished the merriment andBtnsiC of the evening, to which Mr.Adams in a negro dialect charactercontributed skillfully. Miss Bronson,

as the heroine had not much rail up-on her ability, but made a good dealout of a rather inconsequential role.The piece was a success and will runthe week through.

NOBODY DARED SPEAK.

The Suburbanite's Play at WhistWas Too Paralyzing.

On the suburban trains running out

of Chicago card playing is an acknowl-edged feature of transitory life. Someof the coaches are equipped with ta-

bles, for devotee B of the game.Coming in recently a subordinate

named George Affolter was called from

his' newspaper to make the fourth ina game of whist, which had been inter-rupted by the departure of one of theplayers. The hands had been dealtaround, and Affolter noting there werethirteen cards, said: "What is it?Hearts?"

It happened that hearts were trumps,

and an affirmative answer was given.On the first play Affolter gleefully threwaway a king, followed it next with an-other high card, and was overjoyed to

see that the man at his elbow was ob-liged to take the third trick, and thefourth, and the fifth, and so indefinitely.

On the second hand Affolter's partnerled a king, and Affolter thought theywould have to take it, but, to his de-light, the opposition gathered in thetrick and proceeded to harvest all theother twelve as well. Affolter was al-most hysterical with joy. His partnerlooked strange.

Things went on in the same way fortwo more deals, and the Affolter fac-tion, owing to the new man's head-work, hadn't taken a trick, when atlength the suffering partner said:

"Say, you'll excuse me, but you playthe most idiotic, outrageous, infernalgame of whist that ever occurred in myexperience."

Affolterwas dumfounded. "Whist!"he cried blankly. "Why, heavens, man.I've been playing the game of hearts ashard as I knew how."

And nobody dared speak until the de-pot was reached.?Chicago Record.

St. Patrick and His Foster Father.But the greatest of all Patrick's early

miracles, as, indeed, it is one of thegreatest of all miracles, was the re-storation to life of his foster father,the husband of his faithful nurse. The"Tripartite Life" says: He died sud-denly, at a great assembly held by theBritons, which was attended by Patrickand his nurse and foster father. Friendsand relatives gathered around the deadman, lamenting his untimely end, butthe nurse, bursting into tears, threwherself before Patrick and said: "Be-hold, O Fa trick, thy foster father, thebearer of thine infancy, lieth dead.Show now, therefore, on him thine en-livening virtue, even that which hathbeen wont to heal others." And Pat-rick, full of compassion for her grief,and for the fate of the guardian of hisinfancy, approached the dead man andl>egan to pray over him. He blessedhim, put the sign of the cross on hishead and breast, and putting his armsaround his neck, he said: "Arise, andlet us go home," as if the man had onlybeen asleep. The man arose, and thewhole assemblage marveled at the mir-acle, giving thanks to God for such agreat manifestation of His power.?P.J. Lynch in Donahoe's.

Literature and Hack Work.Washington has a novice in the field

of literature.

Tt may have been a dozen or twodozen, for that matter, probably has,but there is only one of whom the fol-lowing tale is told, and this may bevouched for.

.Now, the novice has a friend, whocomes down here occasionally from thatheaven of the Intellectuals, Boston, andthis friend had met one particularWashington friend of the novice andrather admired han, because he seemedto.be somewhat of a promising flower inthe field of literature, as we know litera-ature in Washington? contrasting itwith Boston.

The friend was taking "pot luck" withthe novice in his den one day at noonand they were talking.

"I was just thinking." sighed theI novice, as he poured out a bottle of beer,

" "of the dear young fellow whom you

met when you broke bread with me herelast."

"The soulful youth," inquired thefriend, "who vowed upon a stack oflilies higher than the monument thatcome what might come he would neverdegrade the sublime ideal by the grossapplication of his genius to hack work,as so many did?"

"As I am compelled to do," sighed thenovice, making a lightning calculationas to how many more verses of poetryhe would have to write to pay for thebeer his visitor was drinking at thatvery moment.

"Is he the one?" asked the friendagain.

"He is."

"To judge from your gloomythoughts," said the friend. "I should sayhe had at last been forced to this ulti-mate degradation."

"Worse," groaned the novice."Could there be anything worse than

hack work?" exclaimed the friend."Yes," hoarsely replied the novice,

with a weird shudder. "Hack work isn'tin it a minute; he is driving a street carin Baltimore."

It was a wretched kind of a pun. ofcourse, but the friend with religious caretook it back to Boston with him, and itis probably being worked there now atleast ten hours a day, and boarded onbeans.?Washington Star.

PLAYED ANTICS ON THE ROPE.Blondin's Terrifying Performances in

Midair.

Public interest was aroused to a tre-mendous degree when Blondin, therope walker, made his famous '

tripover the Niagara Falls, but Blondindid not content himself by taking theworld by storm.

As soon as the world was fairly hisown he proceeded to knock it speech-less. It was stupendous enough thata man should walk airily over thegaping chasm, with its dizzy swirl ofgreen water sweeping under his feet700 feet below. That alone was suffi-cient. But that was nothing. Blondinnext dressed himself up in a fantasticcutting up all sorts of monkey anticson the way, hanging by his toes,skinning the cat and other similarplay capers, all in the midstream,After that he trotted gaily over hisrope, wheeling a wheelbarrow beforehim as he went. Even when an oldman, Blondin retained all the skill andnerve which enabled him to cross theNiagara several times. He retained,too, the old terrifying habit of pretend-ing to lose his footing. Some of us re-member this as one of the most awfu!impressions of our childhood. Thewriter of these lines has never forgota windy day at Liverpool when Blon-din ran along a rope at a great height,the rope swaying with every gust,.andsuddenly slipped, to the breathless' hor-ror of the spectators. It is a remark-able fact that, although this marvelousman had performed feats of courageand dexterity never equalled or everappr6ached, he never had an accidentof any kind. It is understood that tohis earlier days Blondin made a con-siderable fortune, but lost it in somebusiness in which he was less skillfulthan on the tight rope.?New YorkWorld.
