This, regardless t that the man who bid 10}4 cents the work e requ shall be advertised and given to the owest bidder, but that made no difference with the Solid Eight. Now comes J. W. McDonald of the City Street Improvement Company and ex- plains that he figures this bond feature of |'wa the contract at 2.1 cents and that he is only making a profit of 14 cents per square foot. For a difference of 2.1 cents, then, the contract was taken away from Mr. Wal- rath, who bid 104 cents last September, and given to McCrossan, who bid 14 cents. Then McCrossan sold it back to Walrath for a percentage of 13{ cents a foot. Then Walrath, having the influence of McDonald | getting jobs through the board, stops doing the work, drops McCrossan and they | (McDonald and Walrath) take the 14 cents straight, by consent of the majority of the board, which, without calling for bids, directs the Superintendent of Streets to enter into a private contract with them. This is_done_ despite the fact that the Jordan Bituminous Rock Company makes a formal offer, backed by a bond, to do the work for 11 cents a square foot. That 15 the story of Van Ness avenue. The story of Fell street, along the pan- handle of the park, from Baker to Stan- yan, is even more remarkable in its way. A'resolution passed tte board directing the Superintendent of Streets to enter into one of those private contracts with the | City Street Improvement Company, etc. by which the City was bound to pay 23}¢ cents a square foot for the paving and 85 cents a lineal foot for curbing. The Jordan Bituminous Rock Company, which is not in the combine, seeing this, sent the following letter to the board: To the Homorable the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco: We re- epectiully call the attention of your honor- able board to the fact that the public conven- ience requires the paving of Osk street, from Baker to Stanyan, with bituminous rock. We hereby agree to perform the City’s por- tion of said work at the following prices: For laying granite curbs, per lineal foot, 70 cents; for paving with bituminous rock, per square {oot, 20 cents. We respectfully petition your honorable boerd to adopt & resolution authorizing the Superintendent of Streets to enter into & con- tract with us for the performance of said work 8t the above named prices. Respecifully, JORDAN BITUMINOUS ROCK AND PAVING Co., Jaxes C. JorDAN, President. Of course this communication wassimply placed on file, but knowledge of it came to the ears of the property-owners on Fell | THE CHINESE BUTCHERS, | working together at prohibitive rates, they street, which is parallel along the other | side of the panhandle. They saw that they | were being charged an exorbitant price, and they set up a loud and persistent pro- ‘ test insomuch that the work could not be done, and the resolution was repealed. | A little time passes, and these same | property-owners troop before the Street Committee of the board, and say it was all a mistake—they want the work done.

That meaut that the work goes on. | What caused this sudden change of heart | on the part of the property-owners? | A man up a tree could easily guess that the agents of these paving companies had visited them and agreed to tax them for their half of the work at a much lower | figure. | In consideration of this the property- | owners withdraw their objections, the private contract is let and the City i cinched for an exorbitantly high rate will be understood that the City here p: half the a bound City property.

General Barrett says they can. “We have done the best we could for the guard,” said General Barrett, ‘and have mustered out only such companies as we thought could be spared. e have left the regimental formations intact, and to do this we have transferred Company A of the First to the Third, of which regiment it was originally a part. The officers will go with it, and the men, we expect, will follow the officers. As for the company dropped from the Naval Battalion. it is not mustered out, but is simply merged into the other two. The officers of that company will have to stand their chances of appoint- | ment to commissions in the two remain- | ing companies. It will rest with Colonel | James and Lieutenant-Commander Stahl | to select the officers, of course with the approval of the Governor.” The reported transfer of Company A has had a most demoralizing effect upon its membership, as it 1s one of the largest and richestin the State.

The following circular has been sent to nearly ry wholesale and retail butcher in San Francisco: To the 3embers of the Butchers' Board of Trade— GENTLEMEN: You are hereby notified of the fon of the following rezolution, by & | gular meeting, held Tuesday evening, July 28,”1895. Said resolu- tion to go into effect on and after Monday, July 29, 1895: Resolved, That no beef, mutton or veal be the Chinese beef butchers, except for consumption, and further that no member of this Board of Trade be allowed to purchase meats from said Chinese beef butch- | HaMMOND, President. ary. The ficht against the Chinese butchers | began in the Board of Trade nearly nine months ago. At that time Armand De- courtieux Jr. sounded the note of alarm, but the motion to fight the Mongolians s voted down, as the butchers had other and more important contests on hand. Decourtieux stuck to his point, however, and insisted that it wounld only be a few months before the Chinese would become s0 aggressive that acticn would have to be | taken. Time has shown that Mr. Decourtieux was correct. The Chinese combined and have succeeded in capturing a considerable | portion of the city’s trade. Butchers’ wagons from Nob Hill, the Western Addi- tion, the Mission, North Beach and South of Market street can be seen daily in China- town, between the hours of 5 and 7 . M. Hind quarters, fore quarters and carcasses can be purchased from the Chinese from a quarter of a cent to a centa pound less than from a white butcher. A great deal of the stuff is from old cows and worn-out bullocks, but the Chinese bave no diffi- culty in disposing of it, and their principal customers are said to be American citizens. Again, an American retail butcher has no difficulty in disposing of the fore quar- ters of a bullock, but the demand for the hina quarters is limited. These he has been in the habit of selling to a Chinese at a reduction, and the latter reselis it to some other white butcher who happeus to want that kind of meat. This is all to be stopped, bowever. The Butchers' Board of “I'rade has absolutely prohibited its members from dealing with Chinese, un- less in meats that are for Chinese con- sumption. As they control nine-tenths of the entire trage of San Francisco, the movement will be a death-blow to the butchering industry in Chinatown. The new rule will be v1§omusly enforced, and the butchers confidently assert that no Chinatown meat will in future find its way into the homes of American citizens, ————— Moving Into New Quarters. The State Board of Horticulture, which has occupied quarters at 220 Sutter street for sey- eral years past, will remove within a few days o more commodious &partments in the Miils | building.

She was under command of Captain Albert Whit- ney. While lying at anchor, about a mile from shore, July 6, the wind began to blow with great force. Additional cha hung to i other anchors were let go, which, with 140 thoms of chain, made a total of over ,000 pounds of metal dragging on the bottom. Heavy seas washed over theship, wrecking everything about the decks, and the masts threatened to go by the board. She kept moving toward the beach. A line was got to the land a few mo- zitimate fig- | ments before the vessel struck, and the | Raphael was a mass of broken wreckage in a short time. All hands made their | escape to the shore by the line, 'rhnvh‘ parted, caused by the breaking up of the vessel, soon after Captain Whitney reached the beach.

Captain Whitney and a portion of the | crew will return to San Francisco by the steamer Umatilla. The same gale wrecked the steam tender Annie May and another small craft owned by the association.

The men had a fight, in which Castro fared badly a second time. A DISSHTISHED MILITIA | Numerous Changes Among| the Companies Not Well Received. Some Say a Political Significance Lurks In the Back- ground. . The board of location has done its work. After weeks of investigation, during which | the companies of this City have been | shivering in apprehension, the local organizations of the guard have been left practically as they were before—that is, all but the Naval Battalion. That organiza- tion, the weakling of the guard, and the branch for which each member of the board has expressed the most profound ad- miration, has been shorn of one of its com- panies, and out of the three it had in San Francisco has been made to bear all the burden of the local military economy. Company B of the Naval Battalion will be ordered to consolidate with Companies Dand C. It is the pioneer company of naval militia in the West, and so far has had a clean record. Company A of the First Regiment will be ordered into the Third Regiment, and to take the place of the company thus moved. these will be added to the First, the company from Eureka. The Second Artillery will be allowed to remain as it is now, no changes being made at present. Those are all the local changes. In the interior the Stockton Signal Corps will be mustered out, and the corps at Sacramento will be made larger. The order, when issued, will contain a little joker which is causing no end of con- sternation among suc officers as hear of it. It states that next January all companies which cannot show an average attendance at drill of fifty men will be mustered out. This the line officers say means the end of the guard if the order is carried out, for reports for vears back do not show anything like an average attendance of fifty men on drill nights. Thirty, thirty-five and forty is nearer the mark, but fifty is unheard of. Company B of the Naval Battalion is not to be really mustered out; it is to be con- solidated. To the California guardsman to be consolidated is an_entirely new ex- perience. The men of Company B will be assigned to the other companies, accord- ing to the dictates of the lieutenant- commander and Colonel James, the in- specting officer. The officers of the three City companies of the battalion, according to the statements made by Adjutant- General Barrett last evening, will then be investigated and the best ones will be assigned to the two ramaininf companies. As for the officers who are left out—the Guard has but cold comfort for them. According to the adjutant-general n, d was valued | its membership is large and its captain ie the senior captain in the guard. The probable result of this transfer will be that Captain _Marshail will discharge every man in his company and at the same time, while keeping within the pale of the law, be and First Lieutenant Sullivan and Sec: ond Lieutenant McCreagh will tender their resignations. It is rumored that Captain Marshall has been askad to accept the position of lieu- tenant-colonel of the Second Regiment of Artillery, but that he had not given a. de- cided answer. If he should “accept the | position 90 per cent of Company A will Join that regiment. | It islooked npon as exceedingly stran that in this reorganization three of tE: best companies in the State should be par- | ticularly singled out for what is considered | nifair treatment. Company H of the | First, with a membership of sixty men, | which was commanded by H. P. Bush | for twenty vears before he was elected ilentenant-colonel of the regiment, has been mustered out. Company A, witha membership of eighty men, has been transferred to the Third Regiment, and has been practically knocked out, and Com- | pany B of the Naval Battalion, the oldest company of that organization, has been asked to lose its identity in that of its fellows. “‘Since politics entered the National Guard,” said a prominent military man yesterday, “it has done any amount of mischief. Men have been appointed not for merit but because of their political pull, | and the result has been demoralizing in | the extreme. } ““I will never forget the remark made by | General Barnes at a banquet given him when retirin; | jutant-general. from the position of ad- ‘Politics,” he said, ‘has entered the N. N. C., and mark my words, the N. G. C. will soon be n. g’ And his | witty remark has proved prophetic. | “The National Guard will never be in that state of efficiency to be of practical use to the State until politics is eliminated fiiom it and men are appointed for merit alone.” DR. McOLISH'S SUCCESSOR. Not Be Rev. J. bee. The best informed members of Grace M. E. Church state emphatically that there is absolutely no truth in the report that Rev. J. M. Taulbee, D.D., who preached to the congregation last Sunday, is to be recommended to the conference as a suc- | cessor to the retiring pastor, Rev. E. Mc- Clish, D.D. i Dr. McClish has filled his term of five | years with Grace M. E.

Lewis, C. S. Holmes, J. J. Newbegin, L. Turpin and B. Bryon. I. J. Truman, one of the church trustees, said yesterday: Our conference of the Grace Church opens on the 6th of next month, on which occasion the committee will recommend to us a suc- cessor to Dr. McClish, and we, in our turn, will make a recommendation to the California Con- ference that opens at Pacific Grove in Septem- ber. Speaking for myself I should say that none but e member of the California Confer- ence will be recommended. 1 do not think the wish of the church isto have any one from the | East. 2 T. 0. Lewis of the recommendation committee stated that no meeting had been held since Rev. J. M. Taulbee had preached at Grace M. E. Church, and that there was nbsolutel{ no truth in the rumor that that gentleman might be rec- ommended. He said: 7 It would be premature to state whom we have been considering, as there are several names before us end we have not yet made a selection. I will state emphatically that we are not considering any names for recom- mendation not in the California conference. ‘When the East sends us a man it is generally one that it can spare, and we have so many bright men in our own conference that we do not need to go farther afield.

Gov't Reports b show Roysal Baking Powder . superior to all others. THE NEXT U, S, PRESIDENT. General Willilamson Says a Republican Will be Elected. CLEVELAND TO RUN AGAIN, The Comparatlve Merits of Allison, Harrison and Cleveland Discussed. General J. A. Williamson, who was ap- pointed Commissioner-General of the Land Office during the second term of President Grant, and continued in office throughout the entire administration of President Hayes, and served several months under President Garfield, came as near serving in the Cabinet as any man ever dia who was not appointed Cabinet Minister. He is sojourning at the Palace Hotel, having been obliged te forego the pleasure of a summer voyage to Alaska by reason of an attack of rheumatic gout. In a talk yes- terday on the topicsof National politics and Presidential timber, the general said: “Cleveland is the logical candidate of the Democrats for another term, and I be- lieve that he will be nominated by that party. There are not many available men in the party. It must be taken into con- sideration that the brainiest leaders of the party are in_the South, and the ablest of them served in the Coufederate army. Now in the light of good politics, a man who served in the rebel army, be he ever so capable and popular, is not an eligible candidate. Democratic political managers fully comprehend this fact, and so they are compelled to take a leader from Demo- crags of the North, who ought to have been in the Confederate army, but were not there. “Democrats require strong personallty of leadershio,” continued Generar Wil- liamson, “and Clevelend represents that personality. He has been able to guide the party to the support of his own policy as no man ever before directed a party. The elements composing the organization must have leadership of that character. Again, it must be admitted that Cleveland is what we call a safe man and is governed by fairly good judgment. He is, 1t is true, a monometalli believing in the single standard of gold. His. party is not with him on this question, but he will bring dis- senting Democrats into line. He does not believe in protection to labor in the form of tariff, and would be an out and out free- trader 1if it were not that import duties are necessary to sustain the Government. We must give Cleveland credit for nerve and strength of purpose. In calling out the troops to suppress the railroad strike he knew that a majority of the men who were bent on the work of wrecking trains and burning cars belonged to his own party. He used the force of the Govern- 1cent to restore order, and 1t indicated a | happy state of feeling in the Nation that Congress acquiesced in that exercise of execntive authority. “The great corporations of the country, and_especially the railway companies, re- gard Cleveland, therefore, as a safe man, one whose judgment can be trusted, and that countsa great deal in a party which has scant material of leadership.”” General Williamson was asked to ex- plain_the reason why so many people in the East were speaking so confidently of ex-President Harrison’s chances of getting the Republican nomination. “In the Republican party,” remarked the General, *‘not so much weightis at- tached to nalitg; but Harrison. like Cleveland d as a safe man. Just after the r: ing out the troops. but he hastened to deny the report. Harrison’s strength is simply this, that he made no_ mistakes while at the head of the Nation. Men knowing him best know that heis cold, unsympathetic and in some respects nar- row minded. Yet his judgment is good, his intellect clear and ‘withal he is patri- otic. In a word he is a safe man. The country knows that he will make no mis- takes—do nothing rash or hasty. A com- aratively smali number of people knew im ersonally. The vast majority éjldge im by his record in office. “Like “leveland Harrison is a monometallist. Both parties will nominate single stand- ard men, and each go into the contest under the gold banner. “As to Harrison himself, he firmly be- lieves, no dpubt, in the divine right of kings. He is convinced that it was or- dained millions of years ago that his granafather should be President and he should be President himself.” SHuking of Senator Allison, General Williamson . sai “In my judgment, Allison is the safest man of all]. He has been thirty-two {earsin Congress, and is serving his fourth term in the Senate. I haye known him since 1860. Of all men in public life he would be the last one to act in_haste, or to do anything rash. He is deliberate in his judgment by nature, and his long training has taught him the value of calm reflection. He has been so long in Eublic life and has been so closely identi- ied with the settlement of great National questions that he feels the pulse of the people more intelligently than any other man_mentioned. Allison is a patriot—a broad man—broad in his sympathies and charities. He understands the sentiment of the people of the country on the silver question, but perceives the difficulty of this Nation alone settling the problem. “The Presidential contest,” continued General Williamson, “will be made on the tariff. Both the leading parties will unfuri the single gold standard. There is no time and there is no leadership to or- rnnize a silver party. If the right kind of eadership for organization could be found a silver party would sweep the country. The fight will come on the tariff. In my judgment the Republicans will win. For some time longer American labor must be protected. Even if the impors duties were not absolutely necessary to support the Government the levy of the duty should be made to protect American industries. “Cleveland will be a candidate on a free- trade platform against the Republican nominee, and whether our candidate shall be Allison, Harrison, McKinley, Reed or Peck the Republicans will win.” ‘Will Return te Her Mother.
