14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, 1895. REJECTED THE LEASE Valley Railway Directors Refuse the State’s Proposition. THEY WILL NOT HAVE CHINA BASIN Until Onerous Exactions in the Lease Are Removed or Modified. THEY SAY BONDS COULD NOT BE ISSUED. . e T | The Company, Prohibited From | Bonding the Road, Kicked at a Seawall. close to the bay of San Francisco, this same bone of contention created a storm of | angry words at the meeting of the Harbor | Commission last Friday. Attorney Pres- ton then said: Why, if that amendment is incorporated it | will prevent the floating of any loan. It will the other day. Ifa man wanted to bay bonds he would first look at the lease of the terminal, | and if he found a clause like that in it do you | think he would invest? Oh, no. If a stock- | holder were to sell his stock we could not tell | to whom it was sold, nor could he, but if a | stockholder of the Southern Pacific should get hold of a share of our stock, by the provisions | of this amendment our lease would be inval- idated. | The matter was allowed to pass that all | interests might be appeased, but it was sides to a question, and the other side had | been quite forgotten. For while the sec- | tion was admirable from the Harbor Com- | mission’s point of view it was absolutely | prohibitory when considered in connection with interests of the Valley Railroad. Director Isaac Upham was anxious to straighten out whatever misunderstand- tude of the directors of the Valley road. He said: “The responsibility rests with Governor Budd and Mayor Sutro. As for very nicely in the matter, and should not | be censured. This is particularly true of Mr. Colnon, who showed himself in every The lease of China Basin to the San Francisco and San Joaq way Company as presented to the direc- tors of the railroad yesterday by the State Board of Harbor Commi accepted. Nearly three hours consideration was given the instrument, | and the result w as those people | ‘who are familiar lley road affai had predicted. Altogether too much was expected from the corporation of enter- | prising and public-spirited citizens who | organized the great enterprise that if not | frustrated is destined to be the salvation of | California, and for that very reason the | directors were compelled to reject the | lease. | The directors met as usual in executive | session, but they gave expression to their | feelings very freely after adjournment, and | said enough to convince their hearers that | speeches delivered during the were full of indignation. Every section in | the lease was discussed with due regard to | the equities of the proposition. Except | with two clauses no objection was found | to the lease, but these clauses were of a | nature that made it impossible for the Valley Road ( pany to accept such re- quirements and obligations as were im- posed upon it by the Harbor Commis- sioners. One obligation directly forbade the bond- ing of the railroad, and the other one de- manded that a restraining seawall be built by the company, which latter proposition is wholly one-sided and without precedent in the history not only of San Francisco but of the State of California. From all that the directors claim it must be inferred that the Valley road enter- met with most discouraging op- ition with regard to this lease question. A small band of public-spirited men arose from the mercantile community of San Francisco with no other purpose in view than to free the State from thralldom. | Their motive was not solely selfishness, for they contributed liberally to the enterprise they had established. They stood forthe liberty of the people. Such was the burden of the directors’ argument yesterday, and for the same reason it galled them to think that obstacles should be thrown across | their path of development and advance- ment. Bt The State Legislature unanimously, save for a few forgotten politicians, voted for a lease of China Basin to the Valley Rail- way for a terminus in San Francisco. Cer- | tain obligations were imposed on the rail- way company in the bill, and these were then favorably regarded by the intelligent body of legislators and the Valley road managers. But when the matter came up | before the Harbor Commission this bill was not enough, and many amendments were proposed and incorporated in the lease, so that impossible conditions are sought to be imposed. Director Robert Watt spoke on behalf of | the board after the adjournment. In his| voice and manner were plainly discernible a deep-seated indignation. i ‘“The general sense of the board,” said | he, *was that the State in passing the act | had defined what conditions should be at- | tached to the lease of China Basin, and that the State Board of Harbor Commis- | sioners introduced, interjected and in- | sisied on onerous exactions which would | make the life of the lease very precarious. | “The impression is that unless the con- ditions imposed the Harbor Commis- gion be substantially modified the lease won’t be accepted by the board of di rectors.” “Why won't the lease be accepted, that is, what are the specific reasons for re- fusing it?” | “It imposes conditions that are too bur- | densome to be borne. For one thing, it prevents us from floating bonds, which we will likely have to do in building from San | Francisco, in which case we will haveto | mortgage all the property of the company. “Now, while there is no reason to think | that there may be any necessity for assign- ing the road, we must provide always for the worst. Snppose the company should become insolvent—if we were overtaken by | misfortune. In that case we would be compelled to bond the road or assign it for | the benefit of stockholders. The condi- | tions of the lease would preclude us from doing so, because we could not include China Basin. You cannot bond part of a railroad. People would ask what good is a road without terminal facilities. If they could not have a terminus in San Francisco they would not touch the propo- sition. The section objected to incluges the phrase “any attempted transfer or as- | signment.” These words cover a mort- gage. The very act of bonding the prop- erty would be an attempted assignment. The objectionable clause in this respect is as follows: And the said party of the second part does hereby further covenant, promise and agree, that it will not assign this lease, or any inter- est therein, nor transfer to any other person or corporation any right or privilege conferred on the party of the second part by this lease, and that any attempted transfer or assignment, whether by operation of law, or otherwise, ehall, at the option and election of the party of the first part, render this lease void, and termi- nate all rights under it. In conjunction with a following clause about selling out to any person or com- pany having railway terminals upon or -in the following sectio: | Southern way to be a friend of the Valley road en- lease as it “‘Our main objection is to this clause re- ferring to the transfer of property which | e a financial dzag on the road.

But we could not accept the !their enthusiastic applause, showed that | o | | they, as well as the men, were interested | n the future of the white metal. 1 The meeting was called to order by G. ference. The center of the world’s commerce would be removed from Liverpool and London to New York or San Francisco, and it ought to beatSan Francisco. Thisis the natural gate- way for the billion and a half of people who are on a silver basis. 1find inlooking over the decline in values that during the last twenty years it has been 42 per cent. In the last year the decline is re- ported to have been 10 per cent. The cause of this can be traced directly to the withdrawal of silver, or rather, the cessation of silver coin- age. The matter of interest cuts an important figure in the values of properties of all kinds, and interest has had a golden era during the last year. We have gone into this slough of gold mono- metallism until we are now at the mercy of the financiers of Great Britain. Our marketsare controlled by the money-brokers of London. Our factories stand idle and our workingmen and their families are without bread. z There is nothing which gaims and grows like interest, and the people are becoming educated on these points. e are not afraid of the gold- bugs. We know them just as we know the cinchbug and the cottonbug and other bugs that sometimes get into the house. But what we are afraid of is the straddlebug. who believesin international bimetallism. are afraid of the fellow who believes that the Rothschilds saved this Nation when they bought our bonds at $9,000,000 profit. My friends, it is not within the power of any two men to save this Nation. Ifit were so, it would be equally in their power to destroy it. They can do neither. In 1896 we, the people, the sovereigns of a great republic, are going 10 take this matter into our own hands. We will win the fight, not on old party lines, but on the lines of an' American system of fair and sensible finance. If we are better Populists than citizens, if we are better Republicans than | patriots,if we are better Democrats than lov- ers of our own country, we cannot win it. But if we unite, if we work together for the wel- fare of the whole, we will win an easy victory. To-day with cotton and wool lower in price than ever before, there are more {wople poorly clad in the United States than in any other country. It is time that these WIOngs were righted. General A. J. Warner, president of the American Bimetallic League, was then in- troduced, and spoke as follows: Although you on the Pacific Coast are not 6. W. BAKER. JOSEPH C. SIBLEY. J C. SIBLEY, THE SILVERITE CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT OF FIRES A SHOT AT CLEVELAND. GENERAL WARNER. THE UNITED STATES IN 1896, affects a bond issue. If bondholders should ever get hold of the road the lease would be forfeited.” The other objectionable feature is found | n: | It is agreed that should the party of the first | part or said Board of State Harbor Commis- | sioners elect to construct any portion of the | seawall or thoroughfare adjoining the demised premises as now or hereafter to be established by law, then the party of the second part agrees, upon demand of the party of the first | part, to thereupon construct, at its own ex- pense, the innerembankment or retaining wall | of so much of said thoroughfare as the party of | the first part may elcct to censtruct. In other words this practically means | that the Valley Railroad Company on ac- | cepting the lease would bind itself to build | | its own seawall, something that has never yet been required of any railway corpora- | tion in California. “They want us to build a seawall,” added Director Watt. ‘“They don’t ask the Pacific Company to build a restraining wall at the ferry depot, nor do they demand that any one else shall build part of the State seawall. We would have to pay tolls and dockage the same as any other parties, then why should we be asked to build a harbor or part of one? We on the site for a terminus, but it is going too far to ask us to fill it up and build a restraining wall. The State did that much at the foot of Market street without ever thinking of asking the Southern Pacific Company to assist in the work. “We could not on any account accept the lease under such conditions.” and Louis 8loss were appointed a commit- tee to lay the matter before the Harbor Commission and in conjunction with Attorney Preston to request that the lease be so amended that it will be pos- sible of acceptance. If this end is not reached the Harbor Commission and its ex-officio members will by the people be held responsible for keeping the people’s railroad out of San Francisco. The directors decided to use ties measuring 6x8 inches, and authorized the ties committee to advertise for bids for 300,000 or less ties of redwood or Port Orford lumber. They also determined to make a tour of inspection of the San Joaquin Valley, for which purpose they will leave here Thurs- | day_evening for a trip to_Bakersfield. While in tfie valley they will meet dele- gations from the towns ‘on the route and no doubt will arrive at many important conclusions upon rights of way, subscrip- tions and the most desirable line for the railway. Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U. S. Gov’t Report RoYal Baking Powder _ ABSOLUTELY PURE would pile the basin and erect buildings | Directors Thomas Magee, Robert Watt | W. Baker, who asked a number of prom- inent silverites to take seats on the plat- form. Convincing speeches in favor of free coinage were the feature of the even- ing. Mr. Bakerin his introductory speech said: ““We have assembled here to-night to lis- ten to speeches on the silver question by prominent statesmen who have come all the way from the other side of the Rocky Mountains. The money question is to-day the most important question that confronts the American people. General A.J. War- ner of Ohio is one of the great Americans who have made history. He will address you to-night. His name is a househcld Harbor. : 4 ““He once made a stirring appeal in Con- gress to drive Chinese from these shores. He is as dear to California as he is to his | own State. It was in _answer to General Warner that Grover Cleveland wrote his celebrated anti - silver letter. General | Warner will tell you more about that. “The other noted speaker is Hon. | Joseph C. Sibley of Pennsylvania, who will be the next Presidentof the United States.” Mr. Sibley was then introduced. He | spoke in part as follows: 5 In 1896 there will be only two political parties in the United States—the gold | monometallists and the free silver and gold coinage bimetallists. I will ua{, by way of preliminary thatnoman should be eligible to the Presidency of the United States who has not been at least so far west as the Missouri River. Mr. Cleveland, I believe, has never been so far west as that. His idea of goinfi West is confined to going from | New York to Buffalo. For two years we have had gold monomet- | allism. There are a few who have largely ben- efitted thereby. But there are unnumbered | thousands who have been impoverished, driven | outof business and prosperity into idleness, | poverty and despair. The friends and rela: | tives of nine thousand men who have com- | mitted suicide during the last two years can | tell & sad story. | _There 15 going to be a division in politics on the silver question. No less a distinguished citizen than Hon. William McKinley has said | through the columns of the Associated Press that he would not accept a nomination for the Presidency on a free silver platform; that if the Republican party should place a free coin- age plank in its platform he would be com- pelled toleave the party. The total volume of money of ultimate re- demption has been estimated at $8,000,000,- 00/ ,000,000,000 silyer and ,000,000,- 000 in gold. On this all the credits of the world rest. Now let us assume that we take away all the silver. What would be the result? The remaining gold would control just twice as much of the world’s products as it did be- fore. The American farmer last year sold his wheat in the East for 50 cents in gold per bushel. That 50 cents wasall he had. But the farmer in East India or in Russia, who also sold his wheat for 50 cents in gold, had some- | thing more. His 50 cents in gold was convert- ible into 100 cents in silver in his own land. In other words, he had a debt-paying power of 100 cents with his 50 centsin gold. But notso the American farmer. The President says we are in danger of slip- ping to a silver basis. Well, what would hap- pen if we should sosiip? Would it be & calam- ity? I think not. What differe: does it make to us whether England or Frazice or Germany or any other foreign country likes our money ornot? They must buy our wheat, our corn and our cotton. We are a creditor nation. We have no reason to care whether they like our silver dollars or not. If our imports from those countries cease our favorable balance of trade would soon be swellea from $200,000,000 to ,000,000. The American furnaces and machine shops and looms would soon be run- ning in full blast. If we goon a silver basis, it would not be Jong before the nations embracing 250,000,000 of people who are now on a gold basis would I come to us as supplicants for a bimetallic con wold from the Pacific Ocean to Boston | suffering as in some other parts of the coun‘ry, yet it is easy to see that you are not as pros- erous as you ought to be. What is the reason? There must be a ceuse for all this, and it is not far to seek for & man who dares to face the problem without fear and without prejudice. All over our land to-day our people are crying out for bread, for employment, for the means of sustaining life. Is it lack 'of production? When is this to end and where? The most important question to-day before the American people is, What shall be our money, and how supplied? Upon this question depends the future pros- perity o the American people. It is the great- est problem that has eyer presented itselt. It must be solved. The issue isof more import- ance than that involved in 1860, and has a more profound significance to every man, woman and child in this country. In paying our debts in gold we must compete with all the debtors of the world. We have been bunko steered into a monetary system that has ruined the country. It is not protection this time. It is almost idiotic to discuss the tariff with this condition staring us in the face. Prices cannot be raised and keptup under the conditions existing to-day. It has been said by some one thatif this condition lasts long the yellow man with the white metal will Soon drivs out the whiteiman: with the yellow metal. 1f we lose the fightin 1896 manufacturers may as well move their shops to Mexico or South America if we are to continue todo busi- ness with money that is constantly appreciat- ing in value. As long as gold rises prices must go the other way, and there is no_help for it. I want to say to you people of California that if you are to make the great fight only in organizations con- trolled by the enemy defeat is certain. Itis no longer a guestion of parties but of patriot- ism. If you are not willing to break the lines of party and stand for a great patriotic prin- ciple, then let me say to you thatthe fight is already lost. You must get silver in your can- didates as well as in the platform. Men who control the Republican party here havetreated the mining contingentvery badly. What can you hope from the other party—the Democrats? You cannot bfln%the silver ele- ment of the Democrats in the Populist party, making 9,000,000 votes there. Iam sorry it is s0. But 1 tell you that it cannot be dome. What did we do 'in 1860? Did you organize Republican regiments in one State and Demo- cratic regiments in another? We overlooked politics then and must do it now if we would save our Industrial system and the prosperity of this great country., If the Democrats nominate a siver man will the silver Republicans go into the Democratic ranks? Will the Populists? I am afraid not. My friends, we must submerge party lines. It is'a question larger than any party. We must concentrate ballots as we concentrated bullets in 1860. Isit more important to know the name of the car you are riding in than where ¥on are going?” If you cannot break away rom party affiliation and do battle with the hosts of a'corrupt monetary system then hide your faces that you may not see the last act_in this National tragedy of financial disgrace. We are pleading with the people to lay aside 11;-111, consideration long enough to win this fig] There is but one way. Good, honest, patri- otic men of all parties must unite upon a silver man, and laying aside every consideration but the condition of our imperiled country work mfm and day for that reform which alone can bring us prosperity and that greatness for which we have been destined. In closing General Warner. Asgoke strong ‘words of praise for hisfriend Siblcy of Ohio, and assured his hearers that if elected President he would be the first people’s President since the lamented Lincoln. At the close of the meeting the following resolutions were adopted by a rising vote: Believing the m uestion to be para- mount in im: mnocn:qunll other quelggm, and that its right settlement must precede the Tetirn of prosperity to this country, therefore Resolved. That we call upon all the friends of bimetallism to unite in this as a common cause, and for the time being to lay aside party differences and subordinate all other issues to this, and to work together to elect a Congress and a President in 1! in favor of restorin, the unlimited coinage of silver upon equal terms with gold, at the ratio of 16 to 1, and without waiting for or depending upon the -action of any other country. ‘Resolved, That to this end we recommend the formation of silver leagues throughout this State, and we further recommend, in order that such leagues shall not be in the interest of any perticular party, that & committee of fiiteed e appointed to take charge of this movement and to proceed with the organization of such leagues, five to be appointed by the Governor of the State as representing the Democratic party, five by the Hon. Morris M. Estee as Tepresenting ihe Republican party, and five by J.'V. Webster of San Luis 0b¥spo as represent- ing the People’s party; this committee toselect three of its number to act asa national com- mittee for the State of California, and that such names, when selected, be sent to George P. ]geeney, assistant secretary of the American National Bimetallic League, 191-192, ninth floor, Crocker building. INTERESTS WINE-MAKERS, Wines That Do Not Fully Rep- resent the Vintage of California. The Manager of the Wine-Makers’ Corporation Offers Some Suggestions. The following is a copy of a letter dated May 1and received by the California Wine- makers’ Corporation from Sgobel & Day, auctioneers, of New York: We beg to advise the sale to-day of California wine as follo Tom Napa—Eight barrels of Franckin Chasselas, 16 cents; twenty barrels of Berger,15}; cents; ten barrels of Riesling, 161 cents: iwo barrels of Sauvignon Verte, ents; ten barrels of Chasselas, 18 cents. day’s sale is what we may call quite dis- appointing, but the fact that some of the wines were deficient in alcoholic strength and others did not land in prime order made buyers some- what timid in bidding. Of course Wiwn white wine lacks so much in aleoholic strength they have to be mixed with other wines or put |hmu§h some sort of a process before they can be sold. For this reason these light wines can- not obtain high prices. Our friends tell us they are pretty well stocked up, but we think had these wines been better the bidding would have been livelier. J. H. Wheeler, manager of the Wine- makers’ Corporation, commenting upon the letter, said : The information contained in this letter should prove of value to all intending wine- shippers who have ndnrted the auction system of disposing of goods which they are unable to market in California as wines. Taking the cost of barrels at 5 cents per gallon, freight at 514 cents (including the local) and commission, and other general expenses amounting to 134 cents, we have for total selling expenses 13 cents, and the wine netted the owner from 3 to 6 cents. Particular attention should be paid to that part of the letter which states that such wines must “be mixed or put through some sort of & process” to make them salable, and to the pernicious effects of sending such goods to represent California and to be sold under the proud name “Napa County Riesling” or wine of other popular districts, Good wines to the amount of 7,000,000 gal- lons have already been sold through this corpo- ration at 100 per cent advance over the price of one year ago. We are striving to induce the producers to distill their inferior goods, thus cutting down |hes|¥>ply to the betterment of prices generally. The wines named in the above letter are outside of ourcontrol, but were passed upon, duly condemned and the owner requested to see that lhei; were dis- posed of by distillation. Against the protest of our body and other wellwishers of California industries, they are now going to New York. DEAN PLEADED GUILTY. His Wife Will Receive a Light Sentence or Get Off Altogether as She Did His Bidding. An airof mystery surrounded the move- ments of the Federal authorities yester- day. Rumor had it that W. J. Dean, charged with passing counterfeit §10 bills, was to plead guilty and at the same time reveal the names of his associates. The first part of the programme was duly car- ried out, but the prisoner made no confes- sion. When ?uestioned he said his true name was William J. Farrow and that he was guilty as charged. At the request of his counsel the passing of sentence went over to the 20th inst. By pleading guilty Dean hopes to get a light sentence as he has saved the Govern- ment the expense of a trial. He also hopes to shield his wife. She, it appears, passed the bills at his instance and in innocence of the fact that they were counterfeits. All these facts will be urged upon the conrt and the chances are that Mrs. Dean or Far- row will get off with a light sentence, prob- ably a few days in the County Jail. R Divorced and Remarried. Lajos Steiner and Rebecca Lachs applied yes- terday afternoon for a license to marry, and were granted the same. They immediately went before Justice of the Peace Carroll and were married. Rebecca Lachs, the bride, was granted a di- vorce yesterday morning by Judge Hebbard. Her husband from whom she was divorced was Henry Lachs. They were married in this city in January, 1893. The grounds for di- vorce were cruelty and desertion. —e—————— Special Baggage Notice. Round-trip transfer tickets on sale at re- duced rates at our office oNLY.
