Delegates Who May Represent This City at Minneapolis. Secretary John McComb of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children has received a communication from the committee of arrangements, calling his attention to the National meeting of the American Humane Association at Minne- apolis, September 25 and 26, and inquiring the number of delegates that will probably represent San Francisco. General McComb thinks Joseph G. East- land, Gilbert Palache and C. E. Worden will probably attend from here. Addresses will be made and papers read on humane workat the Minneapolis gath- , selling— ine 89, eighths of a mile, selling— | THE ALASKAN- BOUNDARY, England’s Attempted En- croachments Will Affect San Francisco. | BUSINESS WILL BE DIVERTED. | Great Britain’s Claim a Scheme to Destroy America’s Commer=- clal Advantage. The fact that the British Government | has a party of surveyors working on the | new boundary line between Canada and | Alaska, and is running that line where it | pleases and to suit its own purposes, as | told by Father Barnham of the Society of | Jesus in an interview published in TuE | CaLL yesterday, is considered of the most | serious import by thosein position to know how very valuable to the United States is | the threatened territory. Not only is the | famous Glacier Bay to be wrestea from Stikene rivers—and the lower waters of those streams lie in American territory. The Chilkat and Chilkoot passes—the only passes through the rough Bald Mountain country—are also on American soil. Con- sequently America controls the trade of a large section of British territory and Amer- ican ships carry all its imports. “But what England now proposes to do is to establish the boundary somewhere in about the center of the inside passage. If she accomplishes this she will obtain ac- cess by water to the interior, her ships will carry the imports and the trade of that section will go to Victoria instead of to San Francisco. Some of it has already been diverted by her action in placing cus- toms officers at Forty-mile Creek on the Yukon, which is just across the line from Alaska proper. ¢ “At the present time people bound for the mines go by way of Chilcat Pass, but the journey is so difficult that all supplies are taken around the longer route, by way of the Yukon River. “This the British Government aims to prevent. Surveyors have been at work striving to discover a feasible railroad route through Chiikat Pass, and in case England wins on the boundary question undoubtedly such a road wiil be built, and it is equally certain that it would seriously affect our Alaskan trade. AsT have said, the boundary question is not a new one. The propensity of the British lion to ‘hog’ everything in sight was evidenced in this case long ago, for no sooner had Juneau City begun to assume some commercial importance than the claim was made that it stood upon British soil.” stallator, who came from third po the stretch and pressed him very cl The official time as hungout was 1:00}, but' the majority of horsemen that hekd timers on the race made it 1:00 flat | gh the fog was not auspicious to | g the time in the different events was fast and the races were well | contes It promised to be another dark | day for the first choices, the talent’s pick | he first two events on the card going vn, but after that they all won out. | Gondola, a well-played second choice, led a v g dash at five and a ridden out a head befor docino, a 7 to 1 chance in the betti Detective, the 8 o 5 favorite, was a close third.

But afew years ago the public were ever eager to witness the trials of speed made by the queens and kings of the sulky. The very best talent in sending the trotters about the stretch commanded | princely salaries, and moneyed men vied with each other in securing the very best strains of blood in the trotting Senator Stanford, perhaps more than any s instrumental terests of this State. His stable became famed the world over forthe fine blood which it contained. - Electioneer, the “king of the turf,”’ as horse-lovers termed him on account of his splendid qualities as a sire of fast trotters, was th.e pride, not only of the late Senator’s stables, but of the trotting-horse men of the whole country as well. To be the proud possessor of a son or daughter or any horse having Electioneer blood in his veins was to be considered the acme of achievement and the beginning of pros- perity in the trotting-horse circle. now how great the change has been the Gilbert Tompkins, the owner of the Souther farm, well known to the horse- fancying world, had fitted up a model horse-breeding establishment with all the necessary arrangements to make whatever of success that could fall to the business of horse-raising in its higher Jines. There was and bathing tanks where a horse would have the luxury of a bath and a subsequent rub down after the fashion of the best methods known to the fancy. Large and in commodious box stalls, were provided. In short, nothing that skill and experience Souther the model farm of the Pacitic Coast. But now this splendid establish- ment will be changed, and the horse n- dustry, which for so many years the young proprictor has followed with so much zeal, wil: there be known no more. The animals were forwarded to this City, alarge number of them, among the lot being eight fillies and geldings ranging from one to three years old, by El Benton, 2:23, the well-bred son of Electioneer. They were all sold, and that too, at an average of but $60 a head. The trotting horse interest could, it would seem, scarcely fall lower. Off for Atlanta. The first shipment of the California exhibit at the Atlanta Exposition will be made to- day. Five or six cars will be sentaway and two or three more carloads will follow within a few days.

Southeastern Alaska is largely composed of adjacent islands, there being but a narrow strip of the mainland whic owns the authority of the United States. In the treaty which determined the origi- nal boundary line England yielded ten leagues (thirty.miles) back from tbe coast. Vhen the maps were drawn _the coast line of the mainland, the continent, was, of course, taken as the base of measurement. Now, it is understood, Great Britain claims that the general outline of the coutinent asshownon a map with the islands in- cluded should be the base. If that conten- tion prevails, not only will the United States lose Juneau City, the large Ad- miiralty and Kupreanoff islands, the famous Glacier Bay and severa! harbors, but the United States military post, Fort Wrangel, which is now thirty miles within the Alaskan line, will be almost an equal dis- tance within British America. THE CONVENTION RESULTS. Silver Men Will Commence the Work of County Organization at Once. The Silver Convention has passed into history, and now men are talking of the results accomplished and the probable effects of the gathering upon local, State and National politics. It was a remark- able meeting in many respects. Perhaps its most noticeable feature was the perfect narmony that characterized from first to last the deliberation of 540 delegates, rep- resenting three States and widely diversi- fied interests. Those who expected to see a beavy representation of delegates di- rectly interested in the production of sil- ver were surpriged to learn that only three silver miners were present, and perhaps it ought to be known that these delegates took no part in the formation of the plat- form which resulted from the work of the convention. Having been called together on a non-partisan basis, the delegates took care that nothing of a partisan character should enter into their deliberations. The sentiment of the convention was sounded on the first day of the meeting relative to the formation of a new party, and it was soon ascertained that a major- ity preferred to walk for atleast a time with the old organizations in the hope of their accomplishing better results than could be attained by breaking old party lines and sailing under the banner of a new organization. A good many who earnestly favor the organization of an in- dependent silver partv in California were deterred from action, claiming that such a move would not only be premature, but & piece of political triciery, in view of the non-partisan call under which the dele- gates came together. So it happened that the new party idea was put to sleep in committee meeting during the first ten hours of the convention. From that time on until the hour of adjourn- ment the delegates worked to- gether like clockwork in formulat- ing a plan for county organization, which was embodied in the report of the commit- tee on platform and passed without a dissenting voice, Walch of Orange voting for the report when the fallacy of his objections had been pointed out by the clear-cut logic of Secretary George P. Kenney. 1f this platform means anything it means an educational campaign con- ducted on strictly non-partisan lines and the concentration of the strength of bimet- allism in California. It means that Cali- fornia’s delegates to the next Republican National Convention will be bimetallists and that a disposition on the part of the convention to evade the silver issue will result in the withdrawal of these delegates and the formation of a silver party. This is the programme and the silver men are confident that they have sufficient strength to carry it out. % County organization will commence at once and be vigorously prosecuted. - New Corporations. The North Bald Butte Gold Mining Company, with a capital stock of $100,000, has been in- corporated by Howard Vernon, A. R. Dow, George R. Vernon, M. Prescott and F. A. Berlin. The University of the Pacific, formed by the consolidation of the Methodist colleges in Napa and Santa Clara counties, was incorporated yesterday. —————— Suit for 825,000 Damages. Mary M.

Merchants Protest Against His Work on the Old City Hall. - DEBRIS BLOCKS THE STREET. Removing the Bullding and Material Being Done In an Unlawful Manner. The manner in which Jake Rauer is hav- ing the work done in tearing down the old City Hall under his contract with the Mayor is causing complaints to fall thick | and fast into that office. Taylor Rodgers, the Mayor’s private secretary, said yester- day in discussing the matter: “*There has been a number of complaints coming into this office relative to the man- ner in which Rauer is tearing down the old hall. The business men near the old rook- ery complain that they have been and are still being much damaged in a business way by the methods which Rauer or the contractor under him employ in doing the work.”’ The contract provides that a fence suita- ble for the purpose shall be maintained at the outer portion of the sidewalk during the continuance of the work in removing the building; that the work shall be done in 120 days after the date of the contract, which is June 5, and that at the termina- tion of the contract a good board fence, six feet in height, shall be erected on the inner line of the sidewalk; that the sidewalk shall be properly maintained and sup- ported during the work of the removal of the building. Charles H. Fechheimer, a clothing mer- chant at 706 and 710 Kearny street, said: “T have lost fully $50 a day in my busi- ness. It has been completely ruined, be- cause of the fact that everybody is com- pelled to pass by on the other side of the street. “The dustand sand fly all over every- thing and literally render it impossible for me to do any business worth mentioning. | “We complamed some time ago to the | Mayor as to the negligent manner in which the work was being done, and Rauer agreed that he would remedy the matter and remoye the debris, brick and lumber, s0 as to give a passageway, but it has not | been done. “We renewed our complaint buta day | or so ago, but as yet there is no change for | the better. Superintendent of Streets Ash- | worth and his deputy, Crow, I think have been active and fair in the matter, but it is claimed that the Mayor’s contract went beyond the law in the matter, and gave Rauer certain privileges beyond the law, but as to that I know nothing, but I do know that if Rauer did not make a store- | house of the street from which to seil and | deliver the brick, stone and iumber of the old building that we men doing business on this side of the street need not be made to suffer so by an almost total loss of busi- | ness.” | NEW SIGNAL OFFICERS. Result of the Election in the Second Brigade Corps—Will All Learn Telegraphy. There has been an election in the Signal | Corps of the Second Brigade, and G. C. Boardman Jr., formerly first lieutenant, is now captain. Captain A. A. Hanks, for- mer commander of the corps, has retired, as business cares forbade the spending of as much of his time as the necessities of the corps demanded. Captain Boardman has been lieutenant of the corpsfor two years. His old position was filled atthe election by Phillip Perkins, formerly first sergeant. Captain Hanks was a veteran member of the corps. He entered when it was the Signal Corps of the First Infantry, and was its first sergeant when the organiza- tion was attached to the Second Brigade. Four years ago he was elected first lieu- tenant, and two years ago was made its captain. Captain Boardman was also a charter member of the corps. He was made first sergeant in 1889 and first lieutenant in | August, 1893, upon the promotion of Hanks | to the command. Lieutenant Perkins is | the first member enlisted in the present | corps to receive a commission. e came in in June, 1889, and was made a sergeant in 189i. He has been the prize signalman of the corps ever since he won the Denicke | signal medal in 1890, about a year after he joined. The corps is now devoting more atten- tion to telegraphy than formerly. Forthe lack of experienced instructors this branch of the work was allowed to fall behind the flag and heliotrope signaling, but the in- terest of Captain Warford, a retired guards- man and an old Western Union operator, has been enlisted in the corps, and he has taken the telegraphers in hand and is rap- idly making them proficient. REFORM SOHOOL ESSENTIALS, Grand Jury Indictment Needed to Commit to Whittier. The wish of A. R. Olson, a tailor of 108 Tehama street, to have his 15-year old son, Victor Hugo, who does not seem to like work, according to his father's story, sent to some reform school where he might learn a trade of some kind, brought to light a piece of legal interpretation which Secretary John McComb of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty toChildren con- siders rather strange. No more boys can be admitted to the Tone institution, says Geperal McComb, and the District Attorney holds that to send a boy to the Whittier Reform School he must be first indicted for some crime by a Grand Jury. This requirement of an indictment, Sec- retary McComb thinks, operates contrarily to the purpose for which the reformatories were established, namely, to take in mischievous and refractory izoys and teach them useful avocations. PERIURY IN COURT Judge Low Orders W. C. Isaacs, a Wit- ness in a Case, Placed Under Arrest. W. C. Isaacs was a witness before Judge Low yesterday in the case of Joseph Sparks, charged with petty larceny. He and his wife and Sparks were em- ployed by Mrs. Lizzie Thomas, 11 Kearny street, to work around the house. On Sun- day Mrs. Thomas missed a silver water- pitcher, and she taxed Isaacs with know- ing what had become of it. Isaacsbrought it back to her and told her that he had got it from Sparks. This was the testimony of Mrs. Thomas in court vesterday, which was corroborated by Frank Pierce, ona of her roomers. ‘When Isaacs was called asa witness he swore that he had never seen nor heard of the water-pitcher. Judge Low at once ordered him placed under arrest for per- jury, and fixed his bonds at $10,000. The udge instructed Prosecuting Attorney Madden to swear to a complaint charging Issacs with the crime, and expressed his determination to punish him for what he considered a deliberate piece of false swearing. L Sparks was convicted of the charge of petty larceny ana will be sentenced to-day. DIL FROM. LOS ANGELES Local Capitalists Are Inter- ested in Handling the Product. A Pipe Line to San Pedro and Tank Steamers to Run to This City. Several weeks ago three gentlemen rep- resenting the Los Angeles Oil Exchange came to San Francisco for the purpose of interesting capitalists in developing the oil industry of Los Angeles and to introduce oil for fuel in this City. They represented that the oil output of the Los Angeles wells is about 30,000 gallons a day, of which 1200 gallons are used in that city. They wanted to lay a pipe line from Los Angeles City to San Pedro and store the surplus in a large reservoir at that port. The next feature was to start a line of tank steamers be- tween San Pedro and San Francisco and build another reservoir for the reception of oil in this City. In the matter of using oil for fuel the men represented that one barrel holds about forty-three gallons, worth $2 40, and that two barrels of oil will produce as much heat and steam power as one ton of the very best aunthracite coal, which costs about $7 per ton. They expect to reduce the price of the oil to$1 75 per barrel and the cost of heatingas 3.51s to 7. | Last week the Los Angeles men succeeded and organized a company with half a mil- lion dollars capital, and the cash was put up. An expert was sent to examine the oil supply. and the company is now wait- ing for his report. If itis favorable the company will at once ask for bids on con- tracts for the construction of nearly twenty miles of large pipe to carry the oil to San Pedro and for several large iron storage tanks, The men interested are now look- ing around for suitable steamers that can be converted into tank vessels. If what is desired is not to be had on this coast the comgany will make inquiries for charters on the Atlantic side. At the present mat- ters are at a standstill pending the arrival of the expert's report for the future sup- | ply. and until a favorahle report is received the capitalists do not wish to be known as being interested in the undertaking. WOMAN AND THE LODGE. Assertions Made by Alfred Coad Cause His Wife to Sue for a Divorce. Mrs. Jane M. Coad filed a divorce com- plaint against Alfred Coad yesterday. She charges her husband with cruel and inhu- man treatment, and says that he has wrongfully accused her of going to the lodge of the Knights and Ladies of Honor and to her mother’s house for the purpose of obtaining the society of men. Mr. Coad, according to the complaint, objects to the visits to the lodge, and he declares that his wife should stay at home and attend to her household duties. Mrs. Coad accuses her husband of cruel treatment toward her almost ever since their marriage in 1890. She wants a de- cree of separation, and asks the court to order the defendant to contribute liberally to her support. He is said to possess con- siderable propert; St e Ly THE TRAFFIC ASSOCIATION. Some Difficulty Encountered in the Selection of a Secretary. A special committee of the Traffic Asso- ciation met yesterday at 214 Pine street, to select a permanent secretary and formu- late a report to be submitted to the execu- tive committee. Those present were: I. F. Littlefield of Whittier, Fuller & Co., Henry Michaels of Langley & Michaels, W. R. Wheeler of Holbrook, Merrill & Stetson, C. H.
