A ROUGH TRIP.Stormy Passage of the Haytian

Kepublic.

The Kddiak Packing Company's steamerHaytian Republlc.Canlain Brown, arrived inport yesterday morning after a very stormypassage of four days from Port Townsend.She broueht thirty-two cabin and thirty-four steerage passengers, who many a timethrough the trip thought that the vesselwould go to the bottom with all hands. She,however, under Captain Brown's guidance,weathered lho storm successfully, cominginto port thirty-six hours behind her sched-ule time. Among the passengers was Cap-tain W. T. 1- \u25a0 :\u25a0 iiiini. inatitutor of theAmerican Brotherhood of Steamboat Pilotsou this coast, who furnished the followinginteresting iems regarding the voyage:

"We passed Cape Flattery," said the cap-tain, "on timidity evening and encountered astrong west wind which by midnight in-creased to a pale. This continued until 0o'clock on Mnnday evening, when it sud-denly shitted to the south and for forty-eiyhthours a tempest raged. The vessel rolledand pitched terribly and at times it lockedaw if she would be buried under the torrentsof water that swept over her. The barom-eter fell until 2 o'clock on Wednesday after-noon, when itregistered the astonishiog lowpoint of2!MO.

"On Tuesday evening, while two of thecrew were setting tho head-light, a heavysea struck and swept over the ship. Oneof the men was dashed ngainst the pilot-house and th« other taken ud into the rig-ging. Few of the passengers were able tobe about and tliose that were confined totheir rooms will for some days to come feelthe effects of the continual pounding andlashing against the shies of thoir berths asthe ship pitched and tossed during tha se-vere battle with the elements."

After the storm had subsided, and shortlybefore the steamer entered the harbnr, atestimonial was drawn up and feigned by allthe e:ibin passengers and presented to Cap-tnin Brown. In It the passengers expresstheir hrartfelt thanks to the commander forthe; kindness and consideration shown themduring the perilons passage.

That Shortage of Cars on theColorado Midland.

Increasing BnsiDtsi in Fanersh— Surveyors

on the Lakeport Bouta— AComplaint ofHeavy Fteight Charges.

A good deal has been written of late con-cerning the failure of the Colorado Midlandroad to furnish proper and sufficient trans-portation facilities forshippers in the vicinityof Aspen, Colo., and at other points alongthe line of the new road. The silver oreshipments from Aspen are veiy heavy, andthe necessary supplies for miners employedthere form quite an item in traffic, and thefailure of the Colorado Midland to furnishcars for the transportation of supplies, etc.,

has ludtu'ed much unfavorable comment.General Maimger Collbran of the road ex-plains, in a recent letter, how the scarcity ofcars occurred. He takes occasion to bringto account the Union Pacific lor its methodsin holding out the cars of other lines, towhich fact he ascribes the present difficulty.Ivhi3letter he says:

N«w Army Kerrutrlnc mile.The departure of the First Infantry Regi-

There are many applicants for en-listment, but the prospects of a winter cam-paiKii against the Indians is not the magnetthat draws them. The cause of the unusualdemand to join the aimy is owing to theiact that heretofore the recruiting officeshave been Ipcuted in out-of-the-way militarypf,Sts. Major Horace Neiue ol the FourthInfantry is ivcharge ot the newly estab-lished office.

REAL ESTATE.

Property With a Marine ViewIncreasing in Price.

Some Good Sales Reported Yesterday—Presby-

terian Chnrch Purchase— Country Prop-erty—Minion Lota—Contracts.

Shainwald, Buckbee & Co. report thatsome time in April last J. Leroy Nickelpurchased the northeast corner of Jacksonand Laguna streets, 80x139, lor $25,500 fromColonel AI. H. Hecht for a residence site,but he subsequently changed his mind andbought a home at Menlo Park, and disposedof the lot above referred to to Airs. Levi,wife of the prominent wholesale grocer, ata figure a little over 530.00U.

Speaking of the transaction, Mr. Buckbeesaid 'that the price paid !or the property byAirs. Levi is not a top figure, as the sixty-foot corner ene block below it was recentlysold by the Layman estate to J. HenleySmith at a pri< c in the neighborhood of S4OOper front foot. Every time a choice marine-view lot is offered for sale itbrings an ad-vanced price, although some croakers saythat prices uf inariueview property willnothold out. The actual sales made aud theprices realized prove the contrary, how-ever, and there is every reason to believethat this ctiiss of property willalways be ingood demand."

Another boose aud lot, a>xyi:G, at the cor-ner ol ValSejo and Webster streets, wassold in Auuust last by J. F. Turner to Will-iam Floyd lor £7:*Xi, and the latter disposedof itrecently to a new-comer lor $hooo.

The Trustees of the Howard-street Pres-byteiiau Church h.ive secured the tine lotou the corner of Cupp and Twenty-thirdstreets tot a new chuich building, payingthereior the sum of SW.IHX). The lot is 100feet frontage. The present lot ou Howardstreet is too biuail, being but l>o leet frout.Tins will be sold, and enough is expectedfrom its sale to nearly make up the pur-chase payment oi the new lot. 'Ihe latter,beiug on the corner, willenable tlie commit-tee to sell ott oue Iit on Capp street andalso one on Tiventy-ihird. Itis the present

iluteuiiou not tv sell tue Huward-slreet lotior at least a year.

HOT WOKDS fUOM. FIiKRAL.He Accni'l Jamrn ( \u25a0 ulon of Hiving

Murdered Woiik Foitfc.The evidence in the case of Thomas Cur-

ley, charged wilh the muider of WongFook, was closed in Police Court lon thepreliminary examination last evening. Theadditional evidence of the prosecution waspurely circumstantial and not strong.

When ex-Judge Ferial opened for thedefense he had a desultory war of wordswith Judge l.ix us to the duties of a com-mitting magistrate. Ferral read the. law,and the Judge said thai itdid not apply inhis case. If"probable cause" was shownhe would hold the defendant. The attor-ney then ehurged Officers Fox, Floyd, Binglehml Vice-Consul Bee together withThomasKe.trden, the attorney of the Six Com-panies, as he said, of hounding a white boy toiii- tii for the alleged killingof a Chinaman,and ou the wc-r-t kind of circumstantialevidence. The lawyer thought this a com-mon' practice of the Police Departmentwhere a reward was to be gained. He wasglad that, not ivi'hslaiiding the police, the lifeof a white man was yet as go>d us that ofa Chinaman. He believed, however, thatthe killingof any humiiu being was a highcrime, and should be punished without re-gard to raca or color.

He then came very near showing thatyoung James Coßlmi, the main Witnessagainst the defendant, was the man whoshitild be on trial. This idea met with theapproval of many detectives, and causedCoiilun to grow pale.

'liie ease went over until Tuesday eveuiugnext.
