SAN JOSE, CAL., ¢ Day, 18 years of age, who is charged with steal- ing a Lorse from J. Nelson, to-day with- drew his plea of not guilty and pleaded guilty to grand larceny. " His attorney asked that he be sent to Whittier. Judge Lorigan would not agree to this, as he doubted if it would do the boy any good, but he suspended sentence for four menths and allowed him to go on his own recogni- zance.

Governor West said to-night: for t Leke committee ave no chance we will all join in and help San Francisco, for it will be of mutual sdvantage. e Messrs. Osborne and Rader also saw Senator Cushman K. Davis of Minnesota, and he intimated that the committee from | bis State was friendly to San Francisco. Senator Perking has received positive as- surance that Minnesota’'s committee will so vote. Committeeman Long of Florida said to Osborne and Rader to-night. Unless there is some change in the situation before December 10, when the committee meets here, 1 shall vote for San Francisco. Thisismy present intention. This is great encouragement, for hereto- fore Mr. Long has not been included among San Francisco’s supporters. The committee also talked with Thomas B. Reed, Speaker of the House of Represen- tatives. He conversed pleasantly and at considerabie length about his life in Cali- fornia, and when asked if he favored San Francisco for the convention replied : San Francisco is & very charming and de- lightful City, and I would dearly love to visit there, but as I am not Maine’s committeeman I have no voice in seléeting the convention place. If I had it might be that I would vote 1o go there. Mr. Manley, onr member of the committee, has been guoted at different times as being for & Francisco ard again for Chi- cago, but really I do not know what his prefer- ence is, for he has not consulted me about it. Senator Thurston of Nebraska was also seen, and. said: Our people have had poor crops and conse- quent herd times, and they are likely to favor the nearest,place—Chicago. Many of our Ne- braska people do their trading there, yet I am not prepared to say that S8an Francisco wouid not be our second choice, for, despite distance, the charms of California will be & strong card. Chesp raliroad fares and telegraph fares is whet you need. With these San Francisco would, in my opinion, win eesily, for Califor- nia and Californian people are wonderfully popular the country over. Colonel James S. Clarkson arrived from New York late to.night and San Fran- cisco’s committee will talk over the situa- tion with him to-morrow.

SALT LAKE, Uran, Dec. 5.—Colonel Isaac Trumbo left Salt Lake to-day for the purpose of joining in the movement which it is hoped will secure the holding of the Republican National Convention in San Francisco in 1896. #I am strongly in favor of San Francisco as the place for holding the next great Republican Convention,” said Colonel Trumbo just before starting. *“The Pacific Coast is entitled to that recog- nition. It would do the coast good and would be a great thing for the delegates, many of whom will never know what a great country we have west of the Missis- sippi River unless business of some kind forces them to make the trip across the plams,” COLON | singere ACLUB FOR SULLIVAN Buckley Gets the Grand Jury After the Fire Department. SLEUTHS ON ITS TRAIL. Investigation of the Use of Red Buggies in the Political Fight. T0 MAKE THE CHIEF QUIT. The Junta Begins Its Enrollment and, the Buckleyites Are Ready to Meet. The Grand Jury is going to investigate the working of the Fire Department as a political machine right away. As the Fire Department is just now up to its neck in the fight to repel the Buckley vasion of the party the investigation will be interesting. P It is mainly because Chief Sullivan is turning the hose on Boss Buckley just now that the Grand Jury is being rushed into play, though that inqu orial body is not going about this work with the purpose of helping Buckley. But Buckley has started the play. ¢ Now the thing of immediate political importance is the district club enrollment of the two factions, The Juntas began last night, and the size of the enrollment secured will be one of the most important things the Junta will be able to show in support of its claims when it domes to demand recognition as “‘the’’ party before the State Central Committee. In this enrollment the Fire Department is under orders to get out and hustle. The mem- bers are prohibited by the rule of the com- mission which took the department out of politics from joining any political or- ganization or having anything to do with an election; but they are to go avout among their friends, as an army of others are to do, with individual lists, to which they will get signatures which will be added to the district rolls. Many efforts have been made by the Buckley leaders to get the Fire Depart- ment into camp. Rainey has put an almost prohibitive price on himself, but he might have been got where he naturally belongs and would rather be, though not at a bargain, "if Chief Sullivan had not held out so de- terminediy. Sullivan’s opposition to Buckley is unyielding. He proposes 10 keep the department out of Buckley’s hands because he believes that it is the only salvation for himself, and because he wants an efficient department that is not a political machine. During the past two or three years the Buckley men in the department have been steadily worked out of it, and now it is in a condi- tion to be used on its old boss. During the past month there have been many conferences between Rainey and Buckley leaders and three or four be- tween nev and Buckley. Buckleyites have tried to talk Sullivan into quitting. Maurice Schmitt went to see Sullivan one day and Sullivan s “Tell him I won't see him and that be ought to be in jail.” Rainey has never missed a chance to expose his loathing for the Junta reformers that he W ssociated with and his T 1pt_for their abilities in al politics, But he was never offered what he wanted in the Buckley camp, and his friend Sullivan was relentless. About four days azo the last effort to get Chief Sullivan to quit on Buckley and call off his men was made. Three or four Buckley envoys extraordinary, with power to make terms, held a conference with Rainey and Sullivan. They offered Sulli- pledge that he would be let f and that h' department would be let alone, but Sullivan said tha hLe wouldn’t put any faith in Buckley’. and wouldn’t make any terms m. Since then the situation has been one of relentless war, and now the Buckley fac- tion is out for blood. Tt was a coincidence that this happened just as several members of the Grand Jury vere about ready to begin a thorough in- m of the Fire Department. The 1 is now quietly on. The busi- ns,theexpenditures, the eco- nomical administration, and so on of the aepartment will be thoroughly overhauled and the extent to which the engineers, foremen and men of the department may have gone into politics at the expense of the City will be gone into also. There is already organized an able Buck- ley secret service bureau which will dig and dig and scrape together every pointer, tness and bit of evidence that can be discovered. The Grand Jury may just open z chute whenever it wants to go to work and receive information from the hopper. Where the red buggies went during the day or two before that Watkins-O’Brien contest wiil be hunted up by the Buckley detectives. It is asserted, for instance, by some people that on the day before Jim O’Brien was defeated District Engineer Johnny Dougherty made three trips in a red buggy to see Anthony Quill of the Thirty-third District ont at Twenty-fourth and Florida streets. Quill voted for Wat- kins, but he icin the Buckley camp now and he would tell anything he knew. When the red buggies makes such long trips the City pays for the axle grease, re- pairs, etc., and the buggy and the man are not ready for a fire; Buckley wants to know if it is the business of the Fire De- partment to_do primary politics or to put out fires, and he thinks that it is shameful for the department to be put to such base uses. THE S JUNTA’S PROGRESS. Last Evening It Began Getting the Names of Sup- porters. The Junta made a start in its work of enrolling club members in the various dis- tricts last.evening. The rolls were open at the appointed places in the various dis- tricts from 8to10 p.». But afew of the dis- tricts reported the results at headquarters last night. The following reports were re- ceived: Twenty-eighth distriet, 125; Twenty-ninth, 71; Thirtieth, 145; Thirty- first, 71; Thirty-seventh, 25; Forty-first, Fr;rtv-a!shird 140; Forty-fourth, 125; t Fort; 3 The Forty-first District, which compara- tively did so well, is Ed Lanigan’s. Yes- terday and last evening many Buckley district workers exe: themselves in some districts to keep the bays from en- rolling for the anti-Buckley primary. The enrollment secured during the three evenings when the 1olls will open at oppointed places is to be but the start, Single sheets for names are ready and will be given out Monday to all the 450 mem- bers of the junta's eneral com- mittee and to other {riends. Then there will begin a systematic house-to- house. and place-to-place canvass for names, which will be continued persist- ently and indefinitely. Everybody who can be induced to sign the anti-Buckley rolls will be secured, and by this novel method it is expected that a big show of names will be secured in which to base claims that the Junta is the real party. Thomas P. Cusick, secretary of the regu- lar committee, yesterday addressed a letter to Chairman W. P. Sullivan, stating that the use of his name in the call for the last meeting of that committee at B'nai B'rith hall was without his authorization. The meeting of the general committee at B'uai B'rith hall this evening is the next Democratic event. COLONEL SPERRY MAD. He Wanted to Fight When the Govern- or's Staff Called for an As- sessment. Colonel George Sperry, son of the wealthy miller of Stockton, has ‘“‘got himself dis- liked” among his fellow-colonels on Gov- ernor Budd’s staff. It all occurred over a question of assessment. Last Monday night General Warfield had his troops out for review before the Governor's staff on Van Ness avenue. After the review the officers partook of General Warfield’s hospitality. . During the evening prior, at least, to the time when the wine, wit and humor were uncorked at the banquet board, a motion was made to assess each member of the Governor’s staff $100 to go into a common fund to be used as occasion might require. These occasions are funerals, special turn- outs, etc. Colonel George objected to the hundred- dollar assessment. He seemed to think that the money contributed by the mem- bers of the staff went for too much wine. He protested with an emphasis not to be mistaken. Another colonel, who thought differ- ently, took umbrage at his forcibly ex- pressed views on the subject, and ‘some one wanted to fight. Jolonel George panted for a willing subject on which to expend the superfluity of his pent-up wrath. He did not begrudge the hundred dollars, but he was unwilling to contribute to a junketing fund. Some one hazarded the suggestion that while a member of the staff under Governor Markham he had been a ‘‘kicker.” A series of protests followed. - Colonel George wanted to fight, and there were others present willing to accommodate him. They rose to the occasion and so did Colonel George. Other colonels had a reputation for miltary valor to vindicate and they, t0o, rose to the occasion and pre- vented the fists of Colonel George and those of other colonels from finding land- ing places on one anothers’ noses. PUBLIC SCHOOL FINANCES, Strenuous Efforts Toward Re- trenchment Being Made by the Board. The Services of Quite a Number of Teachers Likely to Be Dis- pensed With. In line with the avowed purpose of re- trenchment and of providing a fund from which the teachers may be paid the 25 per cent deducted from their salaries last month the special committee of economy recently appointed by the Board of Edu- cation yesterday made a tour of inspection through the Polytechnic High School and the Normal schools, in order to ascertain the manner in which these institutions were conducted from a financial point of view. The committee consists of Superintend- ent Babcock and School Directors Dodge, Murdock, Com te and Clinton. At the conclusion of their inspection here Director Clinton expressed great pleasure at the character of the work and the dlent progress that had been made in this new feature of the public school department, and the other directors ap parently shared his Yeeling. As aweans of showing theefficient man- ner in which the Polytechnic High School has been conducted since W. N. Bush was elected to be its principal in 1889, a state- ‘ment of comparative figures in relation_to the other two high schools of the City was submitted to the committee. This showed that the Polytechnic increased its enrollment from 317 in 1889 to 623 this year, while the Girts’ High School de- creased during the same period from 615 , and the Lowell increased from 408 The junior enrollment in the re- spective schools this vear was as follows in the order previously named: 344, 254, The Polytechnic employs twenty ers, with monthly aggregate salaries 35; the Girls’ eighteen teachers, with hly salaries aggregating $2385, and Lowell sixteen teachers, with a monthly salary list of $2295. Considerable surprise was manifested by Director Clinton over the figures showing that 837 graduates of the grammar schools cut of a total of 1106 this year entered the High School, or something more than 75 per cent. Director Clinton considered this a remarkably fine showing, and one which spoke volumes for the value of and apgre- ciation in which the high schools of San Francisco are held. ; Comparative fizures were also furnished showing the costs of the manual-training plants_in various cities, as follows: Bos- ton, $750,000; Philadelphia, $400,000; Chi- cago, $100,000; Cambridge, $250,000; San Francisco, $8000. The averagze cost per pupil in Eastern cities is given as §80 and of San Francisco as only $45._ During the afternoon the Normal School teach of §2 'was visited, the purpose of the inspection here being to ascertain which, if any, classes could be consolidated, so as fo dispense with the services of one or more teachers. Similar inspections are also to be made of all the public schools in the City, and as a result quite a number of teachers are likely to be dispensed with. Speaking of the work of the committee nn_((]] its object, Superintendent Babcock said: “The committee is determined to do the right thing. While the interests of the teachers will be looked after, the interests = GRAND MASONIC BANQUET Hon. Thomas Hubbard Caswell Honored by His Devoted Brothers. HAS REACHED THE 33D DEGREE. A Delightful Programmeand a Feast That Was Fit for All the Gods Combined. The welcome in honor of Hon. Thomas Hubbard Casewell, thirty-third degree, Grand Commander of the Supreme Council, thirty-third degree, for the southern ju- risdiction of the United States, given by Scottish Rite Masons of California at the Masonic Temple on Post street last night, Wwas one of the grandest Masonic functions ever given to a member of that body. Grand officers of the Grand Lodge of Masons of California, the grand officers of the Grand Chapter, the grand officers of the Grand Council, the grand officers of the Grand Commandery and the masters of all biue lodges in the State were the invited guests of. the Grand Consistory of the Scottish Rite of the State of California. The Hon. Morris M. Estee was repre- sentative of the Grand Lodge of the State. About 8 o’clock the invited guests began to arrive and by 8:30 the commandery hall was well filled. Orchestral music livened up the occasion and while a quiet march was being played Hon. Thomas Hub- bard Caswell, " Grand Commander of the Supreme Council, leaning lightly on the arm of W. Frank Pierce, walked up and was presented to Grand Commander of the Grand Consistory, Henry A. Cline, who, in a well worded ad- dress of welcome, tendered him the sincere hand of Masonry. The Grand Commander responded with feeling, notwithstanding the discomfort of a severe cold. He laid down the lines of true Masonry and con- signed himself to a life given over to the teachings of Masonry. The quartet then ‘sang an appropriate hymn, and_Charles L. Patton, past grand commander of the Grand Consistory of the State of California, read a dissertation on Scottish Rite Masonry, after which the guests enjoyed social intercourse, pre- paratory to entering the dining-room. About 10 o’clock the guests, to a vigor- ous march, flled into the banquet-hall ana sat down to this menu: REFECTION.

A generous frien@iship no cold medium knows, Burns with one love, with one resentment glows. of the taxpayers will not be disregarded. The report of the committee, when it is filed, will no doubt come in the nature of a revelation as tp the wasteful methods adopted by the School Board. Many of the appointments made at Mr. Hyde’s dic- tation were illegal, and itis through this and other methods that a large deficit in the school fund was bequeathed to the present board.” Director Clinton was equally outspoken, saying: “We have examined several schools during the past few days, and we find numerous positions which might well Be abolished. However, I am opposed to de- claring the positions of any teachers vacant, if it can possibly be avoided. It is necessary, however, that some very sum- mary action be taken by the board, in order to keep up the credit of the depart- ment.” The task before the board is one that will require some heroic action, as it must not only keep within its appropriation, but its retrenchment must be silped 50 as to give 1t a surplus of $25,000 to make good the deficit of $25,000, which it feels 1s justly due the ‘eachers who made the voluntary sacrifice of 25 per cent of their salaries last month. It is expected thatthe committee will have made sufficient progress in its inves- tigation by Wednesday next to make a comprehensive report and suitable recom- mendations to the full board when it next meets on that day. e —— Want a Pélice Station.

SUNSET DISTRICT GRADES Property - Owners Complain of the Sewerage of the Locality. Supervisors Are Petitioned to Grant Relief and Improve Sanitary Conditions. The residents of the Sunset District, south of the park, are preparing for a crusade against the condition of the streets in that locality, and have petitioned the Board of Supervisors, through A. B. Spreckels, to aid them in attaining a better condition of affairs. Among other matters the peution says: To the Honorable Board of Supervisors—G: TLEMEN: We, the undersigned propert ers of Sunset District, situate, lying and being south of Golden Gate Park, most respectiully address your honorable board in support of the petition already presented by said district for the establishment of grades and & sewerage system. The storm-water from the hills of the San Miguel rancho destroys the streets, properiy and homes of said distriet and the sewerage from the Almshouse endangers the health of its inhabitants. Large inland lakes of fifteen feet depth are formed by this sewage, which dry up during the summer, and the poisonous vapors arising irom them poison the atmosphere. While we agree with his Honor the Mayor that it would be a waste of money to make sur- veys for the establishment of grades and a sewerage system in the drifting and unin- habited sanddunes before they are made sta- tionary through the planting of grass, we can- not seé why he should oppose the reliei asked for by the residents and property-owners of Sunset District, which is stationary and built upon, and which would rival Richmond on the north side of Golden Gate Park if relief was granted. The Mayor takes but little interest in the welfare of this district, but a great many g::‘}:‘;;y»owners dare not build until relief is Blocks are graded but cannot be finished as the storm-water will destroy the work done. Statements have been made to committees of the Board of Supervisors that the large Pproperty-owners were all ageinst this improve- ment of the district, and only small owners asked for relief. The only opposition we know of comes from owners of big holdings in tne sanddunes, of which Mr. Sutro is one, who mni think it of more advantage to them to make us wait until they are ready to proceed. It may be that the majority of your petition- ers are small owners, but they believe them- selves to be in the United States of Americs, and entitled to relief. ——————— The End Not Yet.

Kennedy of Seattle has been called to the pastorate of St. John’s Pres- byterian Church. Mr. Kennedy is a native of the same county in Ireland as the late Rev. D. Han- son Irwin, whom he succeeds. The young men attended the same schools at’ Cole- raine, Derry and Belfast, and_were warm friends from that time till Mr. Irwin’s death put a close to a promising career. The height of a fully grown man should be three and a half times that at his girth. ———————————————————— NG GRATITUDE s due the men who discovered and gave tothe suffering millions the wonderful anti-malarial and invigorating Peruvian Bark; but even more to the man who Presented itto the publicin the palatable and doubly eficacious form of Peruvian Bitters No medicine or compound known to science will 8o speedily expel the germs of malaria, ague, grippe, colds, or make the system so impervious to their at- tacks.
