T 16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, APRIL 13, 1895. THE TERMINAL LEASE, Harbor Commissioners and Railroad Men in Conference. BUDD AND SUTRO THERE. The San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Road’s Stopping Place. DEFINITION OF FACILITIES. Amendments to Preston’s Lease. The Document to Be Signed Within Ten Days. Another step was made in the progress of the San Francisco and San Joaguin Val- ley road yesterday, when the Harbor Com- missioners submitted a draft of the lease 1o the China Basin terminal. The docu- ment is a modification of the paper sub- estate hereby granted nor the improvements that may be erected on said demised premises shall ever be mortgaged, hypothecated, in- cumbered in any manner or to any extent chnr%led with any debt save and except such tax charges as may be levied by the nationel, Stete or municipal governments; and any at- tempt to mortgage, hypothecate, or in any manner incumber the said estate hereby granted or the premises herein described or the improvements thereon shall at once work a forfeiture of all rights hereunder, and entitle the said parties of the first part or their suc- | cessors to re-enter the said premises and deter- mine the estate hereby granted. “I want to explain my reasons for this amendment,” ‘said his Honor. “This lease is to be made for fifty vearstoa cor- poration for a competing railroad. Thisis all right, and I believe in extending all the assistance possible to the road. But the present stockhoiders may lock up their stock for five or ten vears and then get tired of holding it. While not reflecting | on the gentlemen connected with this | enterprise, the stock might pass into other bands and a monopoly might be formed.” “But your Honor,” objected Attorney | Preston, “you have made the question of | subletting so broad that we could not rent a restaurant.” “This amendment is merely the embodi- ment of suggestions I have to make,’’ said the Mayor. “I offered it to invite dis- cussion.” “I move that the amendment be re- | ferred to the committee,” said the Gover- nor, and it was so ordered. | “Is the Mayor on that committee?” Mr. Preston of the Governor. | No,"” said his Excellency; ‘‘only Mr. | Colnon and the three attorneys.” } “Would it not be wise to have the Mayor on as the city’s representative ?” The idea was acted upon and President Colnon asked Mr. Sutro if he would _serve. No, I must decline,” replicd!he Mayor. i “I really haven’t the time.” | | “Well, will you not act, or atleast be- | missioners, upon the terms and conditions and for the purposes hereinaiter stated, and for the term of fiity years, at a rental of one thousand dollars per annum, payable annually, the whole of the land hereinaiter described, and that a proper lease therefor be granted by said corporation. Now, That the said party of the first part, as the Board of State Harbor Commissioners, does by these presents lease, demise and let unto the said party of the second part, said corpor- tion, does by these presents lease from said party of the first. part all that certain piece or parcel of land situate within the city and county of San Francisco, State of California, more particularly described as follows: Commencing at the intersection of the south line of Channel street with the east line of Kentucky street (Kentucky street being 80 feet in width); thence east, at right angles with the said line of Kentucky street, to the inner line of the seawall and thoroufhfare es- tablished by act of Legislature March 15, 1878; | thence southerly, along the line of the thor- oughfare to the nonherlty line of Fourth street (Fourth street being 80 feet in width); thence northwesterly, along said northerly line of Fourth street, to the westerly line of Kentucky street; thence north along said line of Ken- tucky street to the point of beginning. Con- tainins twenty-four and a quarter (2415) acres of land, more or less, which said parcel lies adjacent to two or more public streets desig- nated upon the official mapof thecity and county of San Francisco. For the term of fifty (50) years from the — day of March, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-five, until the — day of March, nineteen hundred and forty-five, at the yearly rent or sum of one thousand dollars ($1000), payable in gold coin of the United States of America yearly in advance by said party of the second part to said party of the first part, its suceessor or successors, on the — day of March of each year during said term. It is further agreed that if any rent shall be due and unpaid, or if default shall be made by | said party of the second part, in any of the | covenants or conditions herein contained, that then this lease shall terminate, and it shall be lawful for said party of the flzst part 10 re-enter said premises and remove all per- sons therefrom; and the said party of the sec- ond part does hereby covenant, promise and therefore, this indenture witnesseth: | of engineers and other officers and their assistants, 4 Chief Bngineer Storey was busy yester- { day with rights of way, specifications for supplies and a general review of the pro- ‘posed route down the valley. Subscriptions were received yesterday at the office, 331 Market street, from people who signed the roll of stockholders and bought the railroad stock much as they would buy bonds or any other investment. It should be understood now that sub- | seriptions for stock in the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad are purely a business proposition, and that the | stock s certain to pay a handsome interest | on the money invested. IT IS NOT SUPPORTED. A Not Very Liberal Response to the Appeal of Ohabat Shalome. The building operations of the Congre- gation Ohabai Shalome have virtually come to a standstill owing to lack of funds and of interest taken in its new venture, the erection of a place of worship on Bush street, between Octavia and Laguna. The old plat belonging to the congrega- tion on Mason and Post streets was dis- posed of last September to the Native Sons | of the Golden West for the sum of $45,000. At that time it was thought that the pro- | ceeds of this sale was sutficient to warrant the erection of a new synagogue. To this | end a meeting was called of the trustees | and members, and Architect Lyon was in- structed to draw out plans. This he did, submitting drawings which were finally | accepted. The synagogue was to be in the Byzan- BLAINE'S RIGHT BOWER, Senator Stephen B. Elkins on California’s Trade With Mexico. BIMETALLISM GAINING FAVOR. Silver Is the Oncoming Ques~ tion—The Natgonal Conven- tion. Senator Stephen B. Flkins of West Vir- ginia, who has been in the southern part of the State for some time, arrived at the Palace yesterday with his family. Thisis the Senator’s first visit to California, al- though he was for a long time a neighbor, living in New Mexico, where he accumu- lated a fortune, and from where he went to Congress as the Territorial representative. He was a member of the National Repub- lican Committee from 1872 to 1884, and a member of Harrison’s Cabinet. He was always one of the most ardent supporters for the Presidency of Blaine, after whom one of his sons is named. Mr. Elkins is very enthusiastic over what he has seen in California, and says that his visit is a revelation to him. “You J. D. SPRECKELS. E. F. PRESTON. E. L. COLNON. GOVERNOR BUDD. D. COLE.

In it were incorporated the suggestions of the Governor, Mayor, Commissioners and ex- Attorney Stratton of the board. A com- mittee has been appointed to confer with the representatives of the road on the smendments, and within ten days the lease will be signed. Governor. Budd, Mayo Board of Harbor Commi; terday morning to con John™ D. Spreckels and A Preston, representing the road, were pres ent and were invited to join the confer efce. President Colnon called the meet- ing to order, and explained that it had been called for the purpose of formulating | a lease which would afford every advan- tage to the new road and, at the same time, protect the interests of the State. With that end in view, Mr. Colnon_said, an informal meeting of the board had been held on Thursday afterngon, the Governor | being present, at which the copy of the 1ease submitted by Attorney Preston had been considered. A number of modifica- tions to Mr. Preston’s document had been suggested, and the suggestions would now be offered for the consideration of the entire board and the representatives of the raiiroad company. On motion of Governor Budd the entire matter was referred to a committee, con- | sisting'of Attorney Tirey L. Ford of the board; F.S. Stratton, ex-attorney of the board; Attorney-General Fitzgerald and President E. L. Colnon. This committee was instructed to confer with the represen- tatives of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley road, by which name the competing road is to be designated in all dealings with the board. and report to the board at some future time. The Governor also suggested that the committee in- corporate in the lease the definition of ter- minal facilities, so that hoth the board and the company will know the exact meaning of the term. Mr. Stratton had some sug- gestions to offer, which were embodied in the modification of Mr, Preston’s draft of the lease. Mayor Sutro, who was not present at the informal meeting on Thu: afternoon, bad an amendment of his own to offer. He moved that that portion of Mr. Pres- ton’s copy be stricken out which read as follows: Provided further, That nothing herein con- tained shall be construed to affect the right of the people of the State of California or the Board of State Harbor Commissioners from collecting wharfage, dockage and tolls in the eneral rates and charges established by said oard at any seawall, pier, slip or wharf con- structed in or about said demised premises by said Board of State Harbor Commissioners. And the following amendment be in- serted: It is agreed that nothing herein contained ghall abridge the right of the State of Califor- mia through its proper officers to collect wharf- age, or dockage, or tolls, or_all lawful charges upon shipping, or merchandise, or both at &n: seawsll, pler, slip or whart constructed at said Premises by the lessee. 1t is further agreed that neither the lease nor | any of the rights hereinunder shall ever be assigned or be sublet as a whole or in part, If the e corporation shall at any time during the term of this lease, directly or indirectly, 1all under the ownership, manzgement or con- trol of any raiiroad corporation or the stock- Tolder or stockholders of any such corporation having terminal facilities anywhere upon or | adjacent to the water frontof the city of San Francisco, or if the ownership, management or control of said lessee corporation becomes vested in any raiiroad corporation having such terminal facilities or the stockholder or stock- holders thereof, or if the said lessee corpora- tion shall enter into any combination, pool or trust for the purpose of regulating fares and freights or for the purpose = of venting or limiting competition with an railroad corporation or individual having rail- | n or adjacent to the | road terminal faeilities u ‘water front of the city of San Francisco where- by any of the advantages resulting from this lease shall inure either directly or indirectly to such corporations or individuals so holding such terminal facilities, or if any said lessee corporation shall from l:lfl cause Cease to be a competing railroad, or shall cease to be a com- petitor in the business of clrrlyllnf assen and freights, then this lease shall determine, and said demised premises, with all the im- provements and appurtenances, shall revert to the State of California, It is further agreed that should Channei street be widened at any time, and it become necessary that any portion of the Kemuen described in this lease should be used erefor, such portion shall be thereby ex- Lreuly exempted from the operation of this ase, and that the improvements thereon shall be reimoved from such land so Tequired at its 1ole cost. s is further expressly agreed that neither the 5 pre- | ers | | come a member of the committee and offer | | suggestions to the others?” | The Mayor finally consented to go on the committee, but he declared that he could not attend any of the meetings. Then the Governor made his motion to | | the effect that the definition of terminal | | facilities be inserted in the lease. “Let us understand just what is meant | by terminal facilities,”” said he. *‘‘Let the | commitree report back to us just what its | comprehension of the term is, so that we will know upon what ground we are stand- | ing and how we are to proceed. I think it is also proper to incorporate in the lease how much road is to be built or how much money is to be expended in a certain time.’’ “I should think the exgenditure ‘would be the proper item to be fixed,”” suggested | | Attorney Preston. | | . Mayor Sutro said that he was in favor of | fixing a time and distance. | _“As a member of the committee,’” said Mr. Colnon, “my idea is that the mileage and the time are the most important | things to be considered.” | ““How does that suit you, Mr. Spreckels?” | asked the Governor. “‘That is perle(‘!l?' satisfactory to us,” re- plied Mr. Spreckels, and Mr. Preston also | assented. The meeting then adjourned to the call of the chair. : The lease as submitted and referred to the committee without Mr. Sutro’s amend- ment is as follows: This indenture, made this — day of | —, A. D. 1895, by and between Daniel T. | | Cole, F. 8. Chedbourne and E. L.

After the meeting Governor Budd stated that he would leave the city to-day, but would return toward the end of next week and with the Mayor and the board receive the report of the committee. ‘“Three attor- neys and President Colnon now have the matter in hand,” said he, “‘and with the assistance of Mr. Preston they can, no doubt, come to a conclusion in that time.

The Directors Pay Oash for Twenty Miles Track. Besides watching the lease of China Basin for terminal facilities the valley road directors transacted very important busi- ness yesterday before luncheon. In a brief and informal session they showed that they mean business, and what they did will go a long way toward establishing absolute confidence in the management of the competing railway. They audited bills for 2000 tons of steel rails, and angle-irons and spikes necessary for fastening the rails, and ordered the total amount paid at once. So it may be seen that no time is lost by the board of directors, who are paying cash for sup- plies and thereby saving considerable of the Eeople’s money. The rails will ‘be sufficient to cover twenty miles of track, and are now on the way via Cape Horn on the steamer Wash- tinaw. By the time these supplies reach here the valley road will have its locomo- tives and construction trains on the ground at Stockton, ready to proceed at once wifh building material to the front. ‘The other bills ordered d were for fitting up the main offices of the company at 331 Market street, and also for salaries tine style of architecture. The principal features of the erection were to be lofty | minarets, a broad entrance and a string of Mo.[msh arches below the spring of the l roof. The lot of land chosen as a site for the synagogue is 60x137 feet, and the building was designed to cover all but 17 feet in the rear. Seating-room was to be provided for | 800 persons, 250 of whom would find place | in the gallery. The plans further pro- | vided for an organ loft and the usual pul- pit and platform, and a hall for the use of | the Auxiliary Association; also vestry, | choir and cloak rooms. From the con- | dition of affairs at the moment, however, it is feared that all these plans may go for naught. A. Altmayer, president of the congrega- tion, said last evening: The Hebrews of San Franciscoappear to think that too many synagogues exist already. They are certainly actingin a very apathetic man- ner, and aré not responding at all liberally to our demand. We only want & couple of thou- sand dollars more to start building, and I am ashamed to say there seems to be great diffi- culty in getting it. There are four or five peo- ple at work, and we are doing our best. As so00n as we build we propose to elect a minister ata salary of say §250 per month. This we are in hopes of doing by the Hebrew New Year. | Ve have received much assistance from our Christian fellow-citizens, and itis a pity the | Hebrews of San Francisco are not as energetic | as those of Baltimore, who have in the past | year erected four synagogues at a total cost of about $805,000. | “Roll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean.” The lightest rolls are those made from Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder. SWEET MAHiE_HAS RONE, Miss Burroughs, the Actress, Has Apparently Abandoned Her Divorce. She Is Now In Kansas City and No Decree Was Obtained Here. Miss Marie Burroughs, otherwise Mrs. Louis F. Massen, apparently forgot all | all about her proposed divorce suit before leaving California. Advices come that the | favorite actress, who was recently playing | at the Baldwin Theater, issafely in Kansas E City. Inthe meantime her divorce suit is | in the hands of Court Commissioner J. F. Tyler and Judge Sanderson of this city. The case had proceeded as far as the taking of testimony was concerned. Miss Burroughs admitted that she had heard of her husband’s infidelity as far back as 1892, and lately she had received such | proof of his moral lapse that she| ceased to live with him. But she vouch- safed no information as to how she had learned from a friend of her hus- band the fact that Louis haa stayed all night at a house of notorious name, a fact which thé friend swore to. This was to the Judge suggestive of collusion. The court instructed the commissioner to probe this matter and also to find where Mr. Massen’s legal residence was. Miss Bur- roughs gave San Francisco as her own residence, but declined to furnish any posi- tive information as to her husband’s resi- dence. On these ‘‘snags’ the inquiry stuck, and while the California court was waiting for further lmt on the strange relations be- tween husband and wife thefi have slip; away to Kansas City. Miss Burroughs has confessed that Mr. Massen is ‘“delightful as a friend, but as a husband—never,” and therefore it seems likely that she will seek xéellet from the marital tie in some other e — Dress Shirts for Easter. 250 dozen White Shirts, fine linen bosoms, latest improvements, 75¢ each. 50 dozen Fine Sample White Shirts, eated and fancy Dbosoms, value $1 50 and $2,all to go at 85¢ each.

I have been amazed at your resources, and am con- stantly wondering at your climate and your flowers and scenery.” Mr. Elkins spent some time in Mexico, and made astudy of our trade relations with that country, and had something to say that will be of interest to California. “What will very largely concern Cali- fornia down there,” he said, “will be the building of a railroad, or_several railroads across the country to the Pacific Coast, in order to bring your products cheaply to the Mexican markets.

Itis one of the most inter- esting problems of the silver question. Smelters_and refineries were going full blast, and_there was a bustle about all business that was surprising. Of course, it is true that the depression in silver does not affect them as to exgm’ts and imports, for that is a trade that balances, but they do feel it when they come to pay interest on their bonds. - < 2 “The silver question is the oncoming question and I am sure that the Republi- can party will do what it can for._silver. Thegecling in favor of bimetallism is grow- ing and the United States is not going to give it up until thelargest possible amount of sound money is put in circulation. Speaking of holding the Repubh[-au con- vention here he said: 1 don’t know but it would be a good thing to hold the national convention in San Francisco. Of course it would be a long distance to come and the expense would be considerable to some of the delegates. But California has been “very good to us, speaking from a political standpoint, and she should receive consid- eration at our hands. Then bringing a large number of influential men to Cali- fornia would do a great deal of good. We don’t understand California at all in the East and have no appreciation of its great- ness and wealth in resources. Most of them are like me. I have liyed near California for a long time and heard a great deal about it an supposed that I knew something of the State, but this visit has opened my eyes. I have been amazed at your resources and cannot say too much in praise of your climate, your flowers and your scenery. “Of course I can’t tell who is likely to be nominated by the Republicans. ~Reed, McKinley and Allison are most talked about.

Cabin Passengers May Be Rel eased To~-Day—The Silk Cargo Landed. The Occidental and Oriental steamer Coptic arrived in port yesterday from China and Japan.. The coming of the Coptic has been-awaited ‘with considerable interest, for it is many years since she was here and since that time she has been practically rebuilt. She has been put on the China run to take the place of the Oceanic, which was sent home to England for extensive repairs. Those who hoped to inspect the new steamer were disap- pointed, for she came into port flying the yellow flag, and the vessel and her pas- sengers were ordered into quarantine. The Coptic arrived early yesterday morn- ing, and Quarantine Officer Lawlor boarded her off Meiggs wharf, where she dropped anchor. Two cases of smallpox had been discovered on the trip, ore of which was found to be of the most viru- lent type. Dr. Lawlor ordered Captain Lindsay to steam to the Angel Island quarantine station, and during the trip the cargo was fumigated. There were 466 bales of raw silk on board and the Occidental and Oriental Company was desirous of getting the stuff ashore with all possible expediency as in its handling time meant money. The silk is intended for the East, and every bale was taken off and sent along toward its destin- ation last night. The tug Fearless was pressed into service and she made several trips to and from the quarantine grounds during the day. The tug also assisted in the transfer of the steerage passengers from the steamer to the island. "The cabin % W. 8. Crosby, U. S. N. B e ana Tods ehitdren H.
