The admiral’s flag, a broad blue field, bearing two stars, was placed on a pike planted near the American regulation flag. A sergeant guarded it, and when the re- view was finished, it was folded up for auty ain on the Philadelphia. It isa saying that the admiral’s flag goes with the admiral, and wherever it floats, the ad- miral is supposed to be. This must be so, for the sergeant placed it in the admiral's | carriage yesterday. The rank of admiral in.the navy corre- sponds to that of major-gencral in the army, and therefore Admiral Beardslee yesterday reccived the compliment of a salute of thirteen guns.

Mr. Stone’s version of the matter follow: Judge Foote has called upon-me on _three | ons and has been fully advised facts. Mr. Foote has always. known that the pass referred to (that issued by Huntington) was never used-outside of State of California.

With all of these facts within the knowledge of Judge Foote it would seem unreasonable to pursue the subject further-on to the extent of mpting in the tace of Judge Brown's de- ion to reindict Mr. Huntington, Judge Foote 1l knowing that the pass in question was never used outside of the State of California. Judge Foote has at all times expressed to me his determination to carry out the law, no mat- ter who might be involved, and has been earn- est in his desire to ascertain the exact facts re- garding the nse of the pass in question. Itis true that I mede the trip to the East on a pass, as stated in a letter addressed to & tion ney-General Harmon by George W. Monteith, but it wes made on the pass issued to me by Mr. Towne. “How do you account for the initials C. P.

There was a meeting of the Union for Practical Progress last night in. Ceres Hall, at 621 O’Farrell street. . There were went on record with a resolution that be- tween its-lines politely informs the com- ought to do. he resolutions were not agreed to unti! thoroughly discussed by F. W. Lynch, J. S. Reynolds, F. W. Potter, J. F. Wetzel, John M. Reynolds and several others, but finally they were adopted without a dis- senting voice. They are as follows: WHEREAS, 200,000 citizens have petitioned Congress to enact such measures as will col- lect the debt due the American people from the cornorlllons known as the Pacific railroads, and to hold those men who have become mil- ionaires by -robbing those roads responsible for their acts; and whereas, all petitions and all resolutions adopted at the many mass-meet- ings neld to consider this subject have asked of Congress that the Government mortgage on the Pacific railroads be foreclosed and that the roads be bid in oy the Government and oper- ated in the interests of the ople; and Whereas; on Satirday, Decembor 7, at & mase meeting of eitizens ‘of San Francisco the de- mand was repeated by resolutions, regularly moved and passed, that the Government should assume control of these roads and oberate them, and a commitiee of fifty was provided for iu those resolutions, and ‘said committee was instructed by the same to prepare & bill that was to be submitted to the people for rati- fication, and then, if indorsed, such bill was to be forwarded to our representatives at Wash- ington; and whereas, the committee of fifty has been apointed by Mayor Sutro, who was chairman of said meeting of December 7, now e it Resolved, That the Union for Practical Progress in view of these past events respect- fully demands in the name of the voters who have expressed their wish thai the Govers- mentshall assume controi of the Pacific rail- roads, that Congress shall listen to and obey the voice of its constituents; and Resolved further, That we again demand in the name of the people, who have by petition and resolutions, asked that no funding bills be passed; that our representatives strenuously oppose all refunding bills in the interest of the Pacific railroads, aud Resolved further, That we call upon the committee of fifty to faithfully carry outthe expressed wishés of the mass-meeting of December 7, and we hereby publicly request them to prepare a bill providing for the Gov- ernmentownership and operation of the Pa- cific railroads, which have defaulted in re- funding to the Government the loans granted to them; and we further ask that tie biil be submitted to the citizens o San Francicco ata mass-meetinz within two weeks for their rati- fication or rejection as they have requested by the resolutions to which that committee owes its existence; and Hesolved further, That the president of this society Is authorized to lp(pniul & committee of five to forward these resolutions to_our repre- sentatives in Congress, to present this request to the committee of fifty and, if in their judg- ment it may be expedient aud necessary to call a mass-meeting of the citizens of San Fran- ciscoora convention of the State, they are | hereby authorized and requested to do so. The committee of five provided for will be selected later on. While discussing the matter Mr. Reynolds made the following | statement of his position last night: 1 am determined in_my purpose to preserve and extend, as far as I can, the ability, power and right to rule of the common people. All my work in the direction of reform has been and will be devoted to thatend. No man isa good citizen of A republic who in any way stifles the voice of the people or attempts to do so. All our institutions are founded upon the | principle that the wishes of the majority of the | eople shall be the law of the land. But such is not the condition. Our lawmakers and of- ficials have been corrupted by a lot of un- scrupulous men, and the result is that oppress- ive monopolies like the Southern Pacific_have been created by bribery, perjury and robbery. And now when the commou people see this and when from long experience they have learned that no release can be had by turning one set of rascals out and placing auother set in who wili be subjected to the same tempta- tions; now that more than 200,000 voters have definitely and decidedly asked that 'l\c(_ ernment take the Central Pacific and other railroads which are indebted to the people, it is in my opinion a flagrant breach oi trust for any committee to advoeate a different policy or to demand anything less than what the people have asked for. It is something more, it is a dangerous thing. The common people are the only real and true and lawful rulers of this Nation. When a com- miltee of our own private citizens refuses or neglects to properly present the case to our Tepresentatives as the people have demanded 10 be done they are notdoing what is right, and it will inevitably lead to trouble. Iam hopeful that the committee of fifty will be inclined to look at the matter in a public- spirited light, but,if they do not, and if from an error of judgment or ignorance of the advant- tage of public ownership or from an .exagger- ated idea of the dangers of attempting todo too much they neglect to fuifill the duty imposed upon them, I shall say they have not a proper regard for the will of the common people. I maintain they have mnoright to present the case to Congress in a different light than the resolutions which were passed prescribed. I mm determined that tne matter shall be car- ried out strictly as the people have demanded— that is, that a bill shl{l be formulated provid- ing for the Government ownership and opera-. tion of these railroads. Then if Congressmen dare to vote contrary to their constituents, wishes upon them let the responsibility rest. Mr. Reynolds added that now the Union for Practical Progress had taken a stand in opposition to the seemingly compromising attitude of the committee of fifty it would keep insisting that the wishes of the mas: meeting be carried out to the very letter, WELCOMED «INETY-SIY the How San - Francisco, in Open Air, Ushered in the New Yea: Fish - Horns, Trumpets, Salutaiions, Steam and Lung Power Create Wild Pandemonium, Never before in‘the history of San Fran- ‘cisco have so many peorple assisted inthe popular - and. - pandemonium-like down: town “démonstration of bidding adieu to the - old” and “welcoming the new yeur as thironged the mile and a half of :thorotugh- fare extending.trom Jones and Markes stieets. along the latter: street to Kearny and -thence .to ‘the confines of Barbary Coast. S In such.numbers did:they turn out. that the ample width of the sidewalks of these streets were ‘inadequate to accommodateé and - there ‘was- a" considerable -overflow:| into. the street. The turmoil: of the combined efforts of men, Women ‘and childrenwas one long. and -continuous roaring. and- shrieking clamor from all sizes and styles- of “horns, gongs, rattles and any kind of device that could be made to create a noise. , Old age and infancy alike were. infected with the carnival spirit' that was abroad. Ordinarily sedate young ladies vied “with the most boisterous .hoodlum in their. ef- forts to do their share in creating the deaf- ening uproar. This condition of things began about 10 p.' M., and rapidly grew in intensity and volume until the New Year's | advent was marked by tte midnight hour, when it reached its height. No less than 50.000-people were abroad, the great outpouring being largely due to |- the atiractions to our outdoor promenade created by the beautiful moonlight night. All manner of pranks were indulged in, and the 'victims in ail cases showed the greatest good nature, nobody dreaming of resenting what at any other time and any other occasion would be deemed the great- est impertinence. A few of the instruments that contrib- uted an ear-splitting chorus were fishhorns from .a few inches in length to six feet or more, many of them decorated in the most fantastic manner; conch shells, cavalry trumpets.. drums, big rattles, bagpipes, hurdygurdies, cow bells, dinner bells, gongs, frying-pans, oil cans, lets, grid- irons, tinpans and many indescribable but effective rural disturbers. One ambitious group engaged a wagon, and from a sus- pended sheetof tin contributed generously to the din. Another vehicle was utilized for the amuse=ment of a crowd who labored industriously on a huge triangle to give Father Time a clamorous send-off. Up one side of the street the intermin- able procession went and down the other, unwearying and unremitting in their noi efforts. Any attempt at conversation w. simply impossible. One of the most notable exhibitions was large papier-mache horn, about eight feet long, and with the larger aperture at least a foot in diameter. This was carried by four frolicsome young men, each in turn taking a turn at literally “blowing his horn.” _ Another feature was an oil-can brigade, about twenty strong, headed by a horn corps. ven the cyclists were not able to resist the spirit of revelry that was abroad, and those who were unprovided with the pe- culiar screeching whistle they use as sig- nals did not disdain to resort to the hum- ble and sonorous horn. 5 Robert Wieland, instead of his usual dainty cane, sported a six-foot horn, and his whereabouts was readily indicated by the volume of noise he added to that of his fellow-revelers. B. J. Hyland, the well-known capitalist, headed a band of about thirty, fully equipped with horns. b C. J. Gardner, who was a candidate for the Assembly on the Populist ticket, was as noisy as the noisiest. H. fiermnnn blew his horn with un: bated vigor during his entire two hour: promenade, taking occasional respites, of course, to wet his whistle. A group of jack-tars from the Pmiladel- phia displayed their patriotism in keeping a cornet in_ pretty steady blast, while a party of ladies and their escorts had a merry time with Chinese fiadles and cym- bals. At the stroke of midnight the revelers, with almost one accord, lined up, facing the street, and then went up a din that was almost deafening, and which was augmented by the blowing of steam whistles from the downtown factories. ———— The Berlin Exposition. Great progress has been made lately in the preparatory work forthe Berlin Indus- rial Exposition of 1896, Questicns of prin- ciple very important for visitors have been decided, viz.: The hour of the day until when_the exposition buildings are to be illuminated and the In' of admission. The wishes of the public have been larzely considered in the settlement of these ques- tions. The entire exposition grounds, in- cluding all parts devoted to entertainment as well as the great halls of the main building, will be radiant with light to & late nour at night and a uniform rate of 50 pfennig will be charged. Only on one day of the week an admittance fee of 1 mari: will be charged up to5 o’clock in the after- noon. As the grounds are of vast extent it was 2 deemed of great importance to provide for rapid transit, and so a railway will be built just inside of the fence surrov ding the grounds, with about ten stations at the most prominent points. In short, thousands of skillful hands are busity engaged in the effort to present on the 15t of May next an exposition to the | world which wili be ready and finished in all its parts.
