WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...MAY 14, 1881 RECOLLECTIONS OF A VOYAGE IN AN EMIGRANT SHIP. It appears that what the papers call "a profound sensation" has been occasioned in England by the publication of a letter describing the conditions which prevail on an emigrant ship, and that an inquiry will be set afoot by the House of Commons to see whether the allegations contained in Miss O'Brien's letter (a synopsis of which is printed on the first page of the Gazette) are true. We can scarcely give credence to the statement in regard to the public feeling in the matter, for it is hardly possible that the British public have been kept in ignorance up to this time of the brutal, inhuman treatment to which emigrants are subjected. It may be that the publication of Miss O'Brien's letter has been made at a time when the moral sensibilities of the British public are supernaturally acute; because if the English newspapers have heretofore failed to describe the scenes in the steerage of an emigrant ship, and to denounce in fitting terms the authorities and corporations which suffered the system to go on unrestrainedly, they must of necessity be under the influence of the corporations or truculent to the authorities. An actual recital of facts concerning a trip across the Atlantic in the steerage of even the best steamer, would shock and arouse the indignation of any people whose finer feelings were not calloused by an everyday familiarity with similar scenes. There can be no doubt of the truth of the statements contained in Miss O'Brien's letter. Indeed, if she has age description. Particularly do we remember the fierce struggles which took place to get butter. It seemed as if every soul in the steerage was possessed of a mad yearning for butter. They could not have displayed greater eagerness for roast turkey and cranberry sauce. Fifteen or twenty huge pans of butter, placed upon the table, would be emptied in a twinkling, everyone who could reach the pans taking a handful, and it required less skill and strength to reach the pans and get the butter than to successfully make one's way back to a place of safety with the precious grease; for there were hundreds of hands ready to snatch it from him, and often the simple and effective method of knocking down was resorted to, and the butter taken from the prostrate victim. It culminated one day, however, when the stewards appeared at the top of the ladder bearing the pans of butter. As they looked down from their elevation and saw the crowd ready to pounce upon them, their courage gave way, and they refused to enter the steerage with the coveted butter. And during the remainder of the voyage the "hard tack" had to find its way into a thousand stomachs, unbuttered and ungreased. The problem of how to keep 'tween decks clean was solved in a characteristic way. Appeals to the passengers to leave their bunks and go on deck had no effect. They boarded the ship at Liverpool and Queens-town with a decent regard for the amenities and decencies of life, but all the baser qualities of their nature were developed by their condition and treatment, and they would listen to no reasoning. So they were forced into the pure air and warm sunshine by the introduction into the steerage of iron vessels filled with red-hot SOMETHING FOR THE BODY. Through the kindness of the Gazette I wish to say to the Anaheim that we are to have assisted Salvation Meeting at Anaheim on Friday night, May 27th, o'clock. Where is the meeting to be large canvas tent near the Anaheim? Where did this tent come from from St. Louis. One year ago Artesia Holiness Camp Meeting association was formed called California and Arizona Holiday." The above spoken-of tchased by this association. Who compose this Association composed of members of the vies, including Congregational, Methodista, Baptists and others. What is the object of the Art is the present,future and eterney every human being it can react QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO THE MEETING. 1. Who are to be the helpers? There will be at least threeists, to wit.: Brothers Wallace Ashcrofta, and perhaps Sisters Tansey. 2. What other ministers will Probably Congregational and not others. 3. Will any other workers distance? Yes; friends from Artesia, Westminster, Downtown other places. 4. Who will take care of them from a distance? A very important friend who detain one or two, a few days, so by addressing a postal c Washburn, Westminster. I am to hear your call. 5. In how many languages be conducted? We answer, under the influence of the corporations or truculent to the authorities. An actual recital of facts concerning a trip across the Atlantic in the steerage of even the best steamer, would shock and arouse the indignation of any people whose finer feelings were not calloused by an every-day familiarity with similar scenes. There can be no doubt of the truth of the statements contained in Miss O'Brien's letter. Indeed, if she has not glossed over some of the most revolting aspects, there has been a decided improvement in steerage accommodations in the past seventeen years. The lady made her inspection while the vessel was lying at Queenstown, it having, we presume, just arrived from Liverpool, and was without its full cargo of human freight. The contrast between a vessel in port with but few passengers and a vessel tossed about in the open sea with men and women packed about as close as sardines, is very great, and Miss O'Brien saw the vessel in the most favorable circumstances. The editor of the Gazette made a steerage voyage from Liverpool to New York in 1864, and he has a tolerably vivid recollection of the trip. As he remembers it, there was no "women's quarters" or "men's quarters." Each passenger, on being thrust through the hatchway into the steerage, took the bunk which suited his or her individual fancy, regardless of its location. Men and women, utter strangers to each other apparently, lived in the closest proximity for the succeeding fourteen days; and this was done in such a matter-of-fact way that it was only impressed upon our mind by observing the much better arrangements which were in vogue on the American steamers. It was just such a state of affairs which gave point to the coarse joke which went the rounds many years ago, that an emigrant who had lost her "character"—that is, a written testimonial of her honesty and efficiency—sent for a duplicate recommendatory letter and received one worded in this way: "This is to certify that Bridget had a good character when she left Ireland, but lost it on the boat going over!" The whole treatment of emigrants at the time of which we write was disgusting and brutal. They were fed much in the same way that thegers to leave their bunks and go on deck had no effect. They boarded the ship at Liverpool and Queens-town with a decent regard for the amenities and decencies of life, but all the baser qualities of their nature were developed by their condition and treatment, and they would listen to no reasoning. So they were forced into the pure air and warm sunshine by the introduction into the steerage of iron vessels filled with red-hot coals, on which cayenne pepper had been liberally sprinkled. Nothing could stand the fumes which these censers gave forth, and as the smoke permeated the steerage a sneezing, coughing and spluttering mass of humanity would scramble up the ladder and on to the deck, where they were kept until 'tween decks were thoroughly cleansed. If it is true that no advance has been made in all these years, in the matter of caring for emigrants while in transit, it is time that the most vigorous action was taken. When the Governor issued his proclamation calling for an extra session of the Legislature, it was expressly stated therein that the business for which the session was called must be transacted in twenty days. About the first act of the Legislature, after convening, was to pass an appropriation bill providing for the pay of the members and attaches for twenty days. The limit was reached many days ago, and the work which the Legislature was called together to do is almost as far from completion as it was at the close of the first day's session. But they passed another legislative appropriation bill, which Governor Perkins has manfully vetoed on the ground that they were called to do a specified work within a specified length of time, and, having failed to do what was required of them, the State is not justified in wasting any more money upon them. A number of New York boys were in the habit of congregating upon a certain street in that city and reciting to each other the stories which they had read in the pernicious "yaller-kivered" novels so dear to the heart of the average American youth. It was ORANGE IT The hum of the mower is breeze. Colie Travis, after an ill-night months, is again on the street ever. R. L. Crowder is the first dow-pane in the new chuck with his little pistol—accident. There has been several emigrant who had lost her "character"—that is, a written testimonial of her honesty and efficiency—sent for a duplicate recommendatory letter and received one worded in this way: "This is to certify that Bridget had a good character when she left Ireland, but lost it on the boat going over!" The whole treatment of emigrants at the time of which we write was disgusting and brutal. They were fed much in the same way that the menagerie lions and tigers are, and the strong who could fight their way quickest to the table succeeded in getting more than a sufficiency, while the weak and sick almost underwent starvation. In this particular, again, the superiority of the system on the American steamers was in such marked contrast that even a boy of fourteen years could not but have the memory of the scenes enacted in the steerage of the Cunarder indelibly impressed upon his mind. On the American steamer, the passengers were compelled to wait until the table was set, and no more were allowed to stand at the table than there was room for. When they had finished their meal, the table was again set, and the process repeated until all had been served. On the British steamer the food was brought in and dumped upon the table, and the passengers, knowing that nothing more would be served, began a wild scramble for the provisions, and having got all the meat, potatoes and bread which they could, betook themselves to their bunks to eat their plunder at their leisure. This wild scramble for the "grub" not infrequently resulted in personal encounters of the most sav- A number of New York boys were in the habit of congregating upon a certain street in that city and reciting to each other the stories which they had read in the pernicious "yaller-kivered" novels so dear to the heart of the average American youth. It was Johnny Price's turn to tell a story one night about two weeks ago, and he expatiated to his companions on the exploits of Buffalo Bill. He took out his knife and with wild gesticulations illustrated the manner in which the illustrious William was in the habit of scalping four Indians at one fell swoop. Unfortunately, a little boy, who was listening in open-mouthed wonder to the thrilling narrative, approached too near the story teller and the knife was unconsciously plunged into his heart, killing him instantly. We leave to our readers the task of finding a moral in this incident. One cannot help but feel a pity (although not unmixed with contempt) for such religious lunatics as the Penitentes, whose headquarters are at Cimmaron, New Mexico. Once every year these deluded people scourge and lacerate themselves in the most horrid manner, in expiation of their sins, and as they consider their chances for heaven to be in proportion to the torture they inflict, they are not sparing of the scourge. The Spanish bayonet plant (Yucca) is the scourge used. They hold it by the roots with both hands, and at each second step bring it over the head, striking the bare back and causing the blood to flow freely. The hum of the mower is breeze. Colie Travis, after an ill months, is again on the street ever. R. L. Crowder is the first dow-pane in the new church with his little pistol—accidion. There has been several sent to Arizona this spring, ties, and they all say that than giving them to the San mission merchants. Mr. James Huntington is Jim deserves a big thing, and find it.

Through the kindness of the editor of the ZAZETTE I wish to say to the citizens of Anaheim that we are to have an old-fashioned Salvation Meeting at Anaheim, to begin on Friday night, May 27th, 1581, at 7:30 clock. Where is the meeting to be held? In a large canvas tent near the Anaheim Bank. Where did this tent come from? It came from St. Louis. One year ago last July, at Artesia Holiness Camp Meeting, a religious association was formed called the "Southern California and Arizona Holiness Association." The above spoken-of tent was purchased by this association. Who compose this Association? It is composed of members of the various churches, including Congregational, Presbyterian, Methodists, Baptists and others. What is the object of the Association? It is the present, future and eternal salvation of every human being it can reach. QUESTIONS PERTAINING TO THE ANAHEIM MEETING. 1. Who are to be the helpers in the meeting? There will be at least three evangelists, to wit.: Brothers Wallace and the two Ashcrofts, and perhaps Sisters Wallace and Tansey. 2. What other ministers will be present? Probably Congregational and Methodist, if not others. 3. Will any other workers come from a distance? Yes; friends from Los Angeles, Artesia, Westminster, Downey City and other places. 4. Who will take care of those who come from a distance? A very important question and I would suggest that all come prepared to take care of themselves. However, any of the Anaheim friends who desire to entertain one or two, a few days, can perhaps do so by addressing a postal card to B. A. Washburn, Westminster. I am a committee to hear your call. 5. In how many languages will services be conducted? We answer, three—English, French, Spanish. The reduction made by the Board in the rate of freights effects grain, wool, wood, hay, cattle, hogs, sheep and other low priced but abundant products depending upon cheap transportation for their successful production. For the present the Commissioners adopt existing rates on general merchandise as the maximum rate and have not thought it advisable at present to make any changes in passenger tariffs. Although there was a demand on the part of the public for sweeping reductions, the Board, after investigation, came to the conclusion that arbitrary and blind action could not be taken without putting at risk the interest of the public equally with those of the railroads. In this opinion the Board found itself supported by similar Boards of other States and was fortified in this conclusion by every step in its own researches. The report then enters upon a long statement of the reasons for arriving at the above conclusion. Referring to the lack of competition on the Pacific Coast, the report concludes that it is beneficial so far as it presents the fluctuations in rates which in the GRAND LODGE L.O.O.F. The Grand Lodge of California, L.O.O.F., began its twenty-ninth annual session in San Francisco on Tuesday. Grand Master Erra Pearson presided, and all of the Grand officers were present. It was shown that there are now in the State 271 lodges; members, January 1, 1881, 21,468; increase for the year, 122; Brothers relieved, 2565; number of sick week benefits paid, 15,543. Total paid for relief and charity, $172,998.24. Paid for expenses, $150,409.31. Total receipts, $456,712.07. Average receipt per member, $21.28. Assets, $8,821,742.60. Average assets per member, $89.43. Average age of members, 41 years. Died during the year, 276. Of the assets $342,166.80 is loaned or in bank, $96,133.17 in the General Fund, $11,-180.76 in the Wildows' and Orphans' Fund; $701,402.10, par value of hall stock; $141,-260.38 in investments; $301,870.14 in real estate; $62,572.40 in cemeteries, and the balance in furniture, regalias and libraries. There are 57 Rebekah lodges with a membership of 2852, or a gain of 339 during the year. The total expense of these lodges was $3,429.90. It was announced that at the annual meeting of the Sovereign Grand Lodge held at Toronto, Canada, last fall, it was reported that in 1879 there were in this country 50 Grand Lodges, 7067 subordinate lodges, 39 Grand Encampments, 1342 subordinate encampments, 34,834 lodge initiations, 440,783 lodge members, 79,511 encampment members, and that the total revenue was $4,391,-215.35, and the amount paid out for relief $1,714,805.02. Since 1830 this branch of the Order has paid out $29,206,835.56 for relief of its members alone, and has received $77,984,169.72. The Grand Treasurer, H.B. Brooks submitted the following figures: "For the year the total receipts for the general fund were $13,563.83, and the disbursements $10,690.67, leaving a balance on hand of $2873.16. The receipts of the representative fund amount to $10,248.25, and the disbursements to $4324, leaving $5924.25 cash on hand. The Old Fellows' College and Home fund amounts to $1940.21."

Their idea is to induce farmers' wives and daughters to add silk culture to their other industries, and as the manufacturers decline to buy the raw silk in such small portions as are furnished by individual growers, the Association acts as middlemen, buys the cocoons, sorts, and forwards them in gross. In addition to their other efforts they have opened a school of instruction in silk culture. A leading mercantile firm in Philadelphia, too, has just offered prizes amounting to $500, for the best four pounds of coccoons, in order to encourage this industry in the farming districts of Pennsylvania and adjacent States. DIXON, May 10.—The annual State Conference of Baptist ministers begins here this evening. The Convention proper begins tomorrow evening, when it is expected that about one hundred and fifty ministers, and as many more lay delegates will be in attendance. It is reported here that the Mayor of San Francisco, with a special carload of Templeites, will arrive to-morrow, prepared to defeat any action the Convention may attempt adverse to the pastor of the Metropolitan Temple. NAPA, May 10th.—Fred. Milliken, alias O. Roberts, was arrested in Suisun last night and lodged in jail here, on his way to Lake county, where he is wanted for horse stealing. He is also wanted in Santa Clara and Sacramento counties for the same offense. [Milliken is a Los Angeles youth. Not the least of his crimes is that he owes the GAZETTE $6.50.] Myriads of caterpillars have appeared in the neighborhood of Bear Creek, southern part of Oregon.

In this opinion the Board found itself supported by similar Boards of other States and was fortified in this conclusion by every step in its own researches. The report then enters upon a long statement of the reasons for arriving at the above conclusion. Referring to the lack of competition on the Pacific Coast, the report concludes that it is beneficial so far as it prevents the fluctuations in rates, which, in the Eastern States, reduce mercantile operations to a mere gamble. SAN FRANCISCO, May 11.—At the meeting of the Railroad Commissioners to-day the report of yesterday was adopted. Beerstecher moved that the revised schedule go into effect on June 1st, and in case any rates therein prove to be higher than those now in force the latter shall stand until changed. Commissioner Stoneman offered an amendment, providing that the reduction in rates between Los Angeles and San Francisco shall be the same as those between Red Bluff and San Francisco, and that for other points, such as Tehachepi to San Francisco, the reduction shall be twenty per cent. or equal to the average reduction on the Central Pacific and Oregon Division. Cone and Beerstecher thought no difference had been made in the reductions between the northern and southern parts of the State, and opposed the amendment, which was rejected. J. C. Bench presented a petition from the District Attorney of El Dorado county complaining of the hardships entailed on the citizen of that county by the neglect to operate the Sacramento Valley and Placerville Railroad, and asking the Board to take steps to compel the resumption of operations. Taken under advisement. The bailiff of the Board was directed to serve notice of the change in rates on the railroad authorities. The Directors of the Farmers' Steamship Company, recently organized, held a meeting in San Francisco on Monday. We quote from the Chronicle: The company's stock consists of 50,000 shares of a par value of $20 each, which is to be sold to the farmers in the southern portion of the State. About $75,000 has been already subscribed. The Directors have concluded to put on two boats to run between this city and San Diego and intermediate ports, to be followed by two more at an early date. The boats, which will be built on this coast, will cost from $75,000 to $80,000 each, it is expected. Those to be built first it is proposed to have 210 feet long, 16 feet depth of hold and 32 feet beam. They will be about 800 tons burden, and will steam from 13 to 14 knots an hour. They have already secured a franchise for wharves from San Luis Obispo, and there is "For the year the total receipts for the general fund were $13,563.83, and the disbursements $10,690.67, leaving a balance on hand of $2873.16.

Crowder is the first to break a window-pane in the new church. He did it with his little pistol—accidentally. There has been several boxes of oranges sent to Arizona this spring, by different parties, and they all say that it pays better than giving them to the San Francisco commission merchants. Mr. James Huntington is still in Mohave. Jim deserves a big thing, and I hope he will find it. Henri Gardner has irrigated his mustard patch, with the intention of plowing it under and planting peanuts. Henri knows the kinds of crops to raise in Southern California. His motto is, "the less you raise the better." W. C. Travis has started on the voyage of life. The last we heard of him he was having a good time in Los Angeles.

They have already secured a franchise for wharves from San Luis Obispo, and there is a wharf ready for use at South Santa Monica. Active work is anticipated from the company by the Directors. STOCKTON, May 10.—Daniel Hunt, a lad 16 years of age, was run over by a freight car at Ripon yesterday noon, while endeavoring to climb upon it, the car passing over both legs below the knees. Amputation was rendered necessary. His chances of recovery are doubtful. William Burnett, a native of England and a California pioneer, committed suicide this morning by drowning. The suicide was deliberate and determined. He tied a brick to his arm and pushed aside a plank thrown to him and sank. The body was recovered several hours afterward, and is now at the Morgue. At one time deceased was a prominent and wealthy farmer, but of late years has been in reduced circumstances. Boston, April 26.—Thomas Harrigan, a negro convict in the State prison in Concord, yesterday adopted a desperate means to get rid of hard labor during a long term of confinement. There is a circular saw in the shop where he was at work. He quietly went to the machine, set it in motion, took the fingers of his right hand in his left, and slid the wrist along the groove until the hand was neatly amputated. He threw the severed member on the floor, and walking up to the officer in charge, asked that the bleeding stump he dressed. Harrigan was sentenced for twenty years three months ago for an assault on a little girl in Boston. part of Oregon.

Two Bodie men who were prospecting in the Sweetwater region by means of a divining rod, have been "fired out" of the district by the superstitious miners, and have been prospecting in the vicinity of Wellington. At Middleton, Lake county recently Mrs. Phoebe Good committed suicide by drowning herself in a well. She left a note to her husband containing these words: "Meet me in heaven, darling John." Any criticism on the course of the Legislature is now unfair. The State is paying them nothing, and they have a right to stay in Sacramento and jaw all summer if they want to. At Oakland on Wednesday Henry Kiser, a man about 30 years of age, committed suicide by shooting himself through the head with a pistol. Among the notables who were in Los Angeles during the week was Ex-Senator Booth, and Jarrett, the New York theatre manager. New Millinery.
