Shipping Intelligence.

The mystery of the floating pine lumberthrough which the French ship Duchesse doBerry passed has been solved. It was part ofthe deckload of the schooner Maria E. Smith,hound from Port Ludlow for Guayaquil. TheSmith put Into Mazatlan yesterday with mainand mtzzen masts gone, her hull water-loggedand no deckload. She encountered the hurri-cane through which the Duchesse .de Berrypassed. The Duchesse weathered the storm ingood shape, but the Smith emerged from theconflict much the woree for wear and floatingonly by the grace of her buoyant cargo. Theschooner, which Isa vessel of 347 tons registerand Is managed by George E. Billingsof thiscity, may be condemned. She was built in1681 at Port Blakeley.

The Maria E. Smith in Trouble.

The steam echooner Cella on Wednesdayevening saved seven members of the crew ofthe French ship Duche3se de Berry from drift-ing to 6ea in a water-logged ship's boat. TheFrench tailormen had started to row ashore ina boat the seams of which the sun's rays hadrobbed of calking. There was a strong tiderunning and when the boat began to leak thewater poured in faster than all hands couldbail it out. Rowing was out of the questionand there was no sail in the boat, so the eevensailors just bailed and balled, while the tideswept the leaking craft seaward. When theCelia. intervened the water In the ship's boatwas within a few Inches cf the gunwale and6even different kinds of fear had found lodg-ment In the hearts of the sailors seven. ThaCclia landed the men at the Main-street wharf.

The Macdonough Estate Companyand Richard H. Warfield, former les-see of the California Hotel, have en-tered into a controversy over the mat-ter of Warfield's responsibility fordamage to the house and its contentsduring his tenancy and. according topapers filed yesterday in the County

Clerk's office, both sides have agreedto submit the differences to WilliamS. Miller for settlement.

Warfield leased the hotel on March1, 1899, and his term of proprietorshipexpired on March 31 of this year. Forthe whole period the rent was to be$81,000. or $1350 a month. After theexpiration of the lease and the deliv-ery of the property to the Macdon-ough estate Warfield tendered all nfthe glass, china and plated ware andkitchen utensils, but the estate com-pany refused to accept them on theground that they were unfit for US9

in a hotel 1; the California.Besides this the question arose as

to Warfield's liability for damage tothe furniture, carpets, walls, wood-work, etc., and Warfield disclaimedany liability further than for 578 35,

which he paid. The other damages al-leged go into the propositions for set-tlement by the arbitrator.

with fearful fury and any vessel ofsmaller dimension and less solid con-struction than the Oregonian wouldhave been in grave danger.

At Coronel buildings were blowndown, railroad tracks washed awayand all telegraphic or other communi-cation destroyed. As far as CaptainCarty could learn there was no seriousdamage to shipping. This same stormswept over Valparaiso with disastrousresults to life and property.

The matter in issue was the Inquest

into the cause of death of Frans John-son, who was killed in the Marine Hos-pital by being given bichloride of mer-cury by mistake for sulphate of mag-

nesia on July 17. Miss Stella Willey

was the nurse who made the mistake,

and she had been placed under $2000bonds by Police Judge Fritz pendingher examination for manslaughter. TheCoroner's speech to the Jury had itseffect, for a verdict was rendered ofaccidental death, without any. censureupon the nurse or the management ofthe hospital.

Coroner Leland yesterday morning,

in presence of a jury, severely criti-cized the Police Courts of this city forthe management of certain criminalcases. He said in substance:

We find that the police court takes a veryserious view of this case. Nurses risk theirlives daily for the good of their patients. .Theywork for the love of doins: good. We all Knowthat these same courts make no examinationInto and Immediately discharge cases of crim-inal abortion and men who fracture other men'sskulls. They Uke no cosrnizance whatever ofmany things which were matters of life anddeath, and even the thue and men with thevery worst of motives meet with a leniencywhich a trained nurse working with the very

best of motives could hardly expect to receive.
