Supervisors Still Listening While Ar- chitects Explain Elaborate Plans for a Municipal Building. No decision was reached by the Super- visors last night in regard to the plans for the new municipal building on Kearny and Washington streets. The Committee on Buildings reported back the plans of flve architects without recommendation. These plans were then reconsidered by the board acting as a committee of the whole, and on motion of Supervisor King the beard adjourned till next Friday evening, when any of the other architects who may desire to explain their plins will be heard. The five architects whose plans were chosen as the best were Messrs. Banks, Mooser, Shea, Newsom and Smith & Free- man. I'.ere were no more indications of an agreement than on the last time the board discussed the plans, and at the very be- iming a question asked of Architect ks by Supervisor Hobbs indicated that still furtuer delay might be desired by he board. Mr. Hobbs wanted to know if ir. Banks would object to putting his lans on exhibition at the pavilion in a couple of weeks? 1 don’t sce the use of the delay,” was the answer; *‘the citizens would not go to see them.” 1t would be their own fault then,” Mr. Hobbs replied. Mr. Banks expressed willingness to ex- hibit bis plans as long as it might be deemed necessary. There was no discussion as to the com- parative merits of the pians. The com- mittee of the whole merely reported that the five plans had been examined. The opinion was expressed that Friday’s meet- ing would bring the matter to an issue. - SALE OF MISSION REALTY.

A handsome new brick building on the sonth side of Mission street, near Fourth, has just been completed by A. W. Wilson. It is a five-story structure, 50x100, with antially built throughout. The front is designed in the old Spanish style of architecture and pre- sents a decidedly ornamental appearance. The ground floor is one large store, with massive plate-glass windows, and the base- ment is finished th cement walls and floor. The npper stories are arranged for hotel or rooming-house purposes. There are about 100 rooms in all. The finish throughout is all of grained wood and in the front rooms, of which there are six- teen, are bandsome mantels constructed of quarter-sawed oak aad tiling. Each floor is supplied with closets and | bathrooms, the latter being furnished with porcelain tubs. The plumbing throughout 1s of the most modern sanitary kind.” The majority of therooms are furnished with stationary wash-stands, with hot and cold water connections, while neat combination gas and electric light fixtures in every room afford ample lighting facilities. On the top floor is a large dining-room and kitchen. The entrance to the upper floors, also the stairs, are finished in quar- ter-sawed oak, highly polished. The tioor oy the entrance is of mosaic tiling.n A swift-running direct-electric passenger ele- vator affords easy access to the upper por- tion of the building. The locks are all of the Yale make. ‘They are arranged in sets, one set to each floor, each arranged to master key. All the hardware is of handsome brass metal and is also of the Yale make. The build- ing was constructed under the superin- tendence of William Thomas. It is now to let and can be inspected at any time. The carpenter work was done by Peterson & Olsen, the brick work by H. H. Larsen NEW FIVE-STORY HOTEL ON OF A. W, [Sketched by a MISSION STREET, PROPERTY WILSON. “Call” artist.) Lo L title of ‘‘Mexico,” will be presented at the !

Chris Buckley and Others Talk All Sorts of Political Wisdom and Prophecies. The Democratic war clouds, that are ex- pected to break with tremendous dis- turbance at the meeting of the State Central Committee next Saturday after- noon, thickened yesterday. The Buckleyites have about put on the finishing touches to their war paint, and they have marshaled the ablest and bravest of their generals and orators in preparation for the expected battle over the question of whether or not Gavin Me- Nab’s Rainey-Daggett organization is to gain the prestice of recognition by the State Central Committee. The Buckley general committee held a rousing special meeting in Odd Fellows’ Hall last night and adopted fierce resolu- tiens declaring the stand of the Buckley faction. A committee with full di: cretionary powers was appointed to de- fend the interasts of the Buckley side at their discretion and to any extent of their war resources, and to concede, treat or re- treat, .as they may deem best. Tnis was the first heavy gun of the battle to be fired. The Junta’s anti-Buckley general com- mittee will meet in Pioneer Hall this evening. Resolutions will b2 adopted and a committes of some sort appointed. The chief interest concerns the display of Rainey’s strength, it any such display is made. As Herculean efforts are being made to avoid a row with the Rainey-Daggett forces and to avoid any indication that Rainey’s strength is large, it is not likely that the row that has seemed certain will come off. Concessions bave been made to the Maxwell faction in the Fourty-fourth to aveid striking on that rock. Tom Maxwell held a conterence with Chairman Sullivan last night, and an agreement about the delegates from the Forty-fourth will likely be reached to-d Buckley has returned to town, and yes- terday he said in an interview that it was all none of the State Central Committee’s business, but it the committee made the local mess its business it would have to do something broad and fair or the people would rise in rebellion and there would be two delegations to the State convention. That is the position of the Buckley element from its top to its bottom, It is ready with heavy-weight orators, wit- nesses and affidavits to establish and de- fend the right it claims to be *‘the” regular local party, but is ready and anxious for a primary of the whole party. If this 1s not conceded it will march right ahead to the State conveution ignoring everything done to stop it. Gavin McNab and other representatives of the Junta have ready fierce and eloquent speeches denouncing Buckley as every- thing that is vile, «nd as a traitor to tie party. Butthen the Junta is so largely Rainey and Daggett that there appears no prospect of its getting the prestuige of e clusive recognition from the State Central Committee or for there being anything else than a new deal for the local party, at which Buckley will win, possibly with the assistance of Rainey when the time comes. BUCELEYITES TAKE ACTION. The General Committee Clears Its Decks for the Battle. The Buckley general committee packed 0dd Fellows’ Hall last night. There were present 401 of the 450 members, and the spectators were many. There was saw- dust on the floor, as usual, and a Demo- cratic air and style to every feature of the gatherings and proceeding: Chairman Joseph Rothschild and Secre- tary Daniel M. Gavigan had a big, enthu- siastic and at all times unruly audience before them. There werel but two important features 1o the proceedings. Strong resolutions de- claring the sentiments of the Buckley wing on the local split were adopted, wit tart and vigorous discussion, as they were read by M. J. Donovan. Then a commit- tee of twenty-five, to fight the battle before the State Central Committee, was ap- pointed. The committee on revision of the constitution, which had prepared an amendment creating an executive commit- tee of ninety, did not report as it was ex- pected to do. The resolutions moved by M. J. Donovan were as follows: ‘WHEREAS, In public and private it is asserted that the Democratic State Central Committee at its meeting called for Saturday, March 14, 1896, contemplates recognizing as the local Democratic party organization of San Fran- cisco a bolting or rump body, known by the cognomen of the *Junts,” whose members openly claim that the said disorganizers have & mujority of the State Central Committee and proxies of absent members under their control; ce in iocal political affairs if teken, without this general committee’s special request, is revolu- tionary and contrary to all precedent, rights and time-honored custom of all prior State Cantral Committees of the Democratic party; and whereas, all State Central Committees have always denied their jurisdiction or right to interfere in local management of affairs un- less the regular county organization peti- tions them so to do, and all parties in interest consent to their jurisdiction and agree to submit to their decision and deter- mination; and whereas, in support of this posi- tion and said precedent, we cite the latest Democratic ruling in this matter, to_wit: When on or about the 25th day of July, 1892, the late State Central Committee, of which several gentlemen of the present State Central Commitiee were members, a body known as the reorganizers of Sacramento submitted a written communication, and otherwise asked the State Central Committee to then and there interpose and interfere in Sacramento local politics and award them the management of the party, but were answered that the State Central Committee could only obtain jurisdic- tion by consent of ail parties in interest,and especielly the county committee joining in the request, and all agreeing to submittoana abide by their determination of the question in dispute &s to who should control and man- age matters; and whereas, after such refusal and denial of jurisdiction, both factions sent delegates to the next Stale convention held at San Francisco in August, 1894, and the con- vention, being the sole acknowledged judges 3 in_all’ such matters in party politics, awardea the seats to those entitled thereto, and thus ac¥nowledged that side as the future party managers, and this we maintain is the only course the present State Central Committee can now lawfully follow when jurisdiction is questioned, and we cite the work of Winfield J. Davis entitled ‘Politi- cal Conventions in California—1849 to 1892, and published by authority of the State of Califernia, showing repeated instances of the authority of all Democratic State conventions of California, from the time of holding the first convention in this State to _seat delegates and recognize Jocal organizations; and we also refer to the records of past Democratic State committees o sustain our position; and whereas, we believe the State convention alone is vested with proper authority, when the jurisdiction of the State Central Commit- tee is questioned, and that the only duty the rresenlnummluce can perform on March 14, 896, in this Presidential year, is to follow the National cell issued to all Democrats of our country and published on January 24, 1896, by William F. Harrity, chairman of the Demo- cratic National Committee, and on March 14, 1896, name the time and place of holding the State convention, and apportion the delegates and do such things only as therein required, iving public notice so that the Democratic ocal masses may send their representative delegates to the State convention and obtain their seats on the showing that they are en- titled to the same; therefore be it Resolved, That a committee of twenty-five to cousist of the president and secretary and one member from each Assembly district as also five atlarge of this general committee with plenary powers take full charge of this matter and represent this general committee in any l way they may deem proper and appear before said State Central co?nmpiitee or x‘n’gf, as they dee fit, and First—Raise the question of jurisdiction of said State Central Committee in’ the matter. Secoud—if said State Central Commiitee without showing on our part should decide said question in favor of their jusisdiction to entera protest and then demand the right and proceed 10 prove that we are the regularly cen- stituted and legally existing general com- mittee of the Democratic party of the City and County of San Francisco. And be it further . Kesowed, That said committee of twenty-five is esremul\y charged with plenary power to act in all matters in the interest of the whole Democratic party and avoid factional ani- mosities and technical disputes detrimental to OUT DATty’s welfare and are hereby authorized in their discretion to waive some of our fixed rights with the hope of uniting the Democra- tic party. The following committee was appointed :noi:lx'ppear before the State Central Com- ee: Twenty - elghth District, J. H. Goldmeyer; Twenty-ninth District, Thomas Egar ; Thirtleth District, E.

CHRI3 AND OTHERS TALK. 8ome Opinions on What Will Happen Next Saturday. from Ravenswood night before last and will remain here until next week at least. Mr. Buckley assured a CALL reporter yes- terday that he was in the City on private business and that he is still “out of poli- tics.” Buckley was quite willing to talk for publication about the local situation and the State Central Committee’s concern with it, but it was of course only as a Dem- ocrat at large, having no personal 1interest in what is going on. As Mr. Buckley is iikely to gain complete control of the local party, what he was pleased to say in his plenitude of discretion may be of interest. “I am out of politics, as I have said be- fore, though many people seem loath to believe it,” began Mr. Bucklez. “I am a Democrat, willing to do anything I can for the party, and am willing to give advi to my friends when it is wanted, There is a newspaper here that seems determined to force me into politics, apparently to get a chance to vilify me. People look at me and sav, ‘You're looking first rate,” but really I am a sick man, and if 1 were to go into politics I would not laat long. *I have taken no particular interestin what the State Central Committee may do, have met none of the members, and am not well informed as to the probabili- ties. Idon’t provose to do anything with the matter. In my opinion the State Central Committee has no_right to inter- fere in this situation. If it does do so it should act in the direction of effecting some arrangement by which all members of the party could go out and battle for supremacy, Let the majority rule. As a { Democrat, I would be glad to see some- | thing done to blend all elements of the party in this City. “I think that if the State Central Com- mittee should enaeavor to usurp authority and hand the party over toa small fac- tion, which would be given authority to name delegates to the State convention representing the entire party, the people would repudiate such a thing. There would be rebellion against any attempt to take away the rights of the majority and hand them over to the minority. The State convention is the highest authority in any party. The State Central Commit- tee is but the executive committee of that body. The State convention isa legisla- tive body and the judge of the qualifica- tions of 1ts members. If a minority fac- tion were recognized as the regular organ- ization by the State Central Committee the mujority would o right ahead as though such’a thing did not exist and the State convention would judge which rep- resentatives of the people were rightfully entitled to seats. “The regular local organization, as it stands, is in the hands of good men who are able to map out a platform and nominate a ticket which will bring snccess to the party. A few years ago we paid $L in taxatioh, where now we pay $2 25, and Ibelie e that the City government can be run better than now within the dollar limit. When the people pay taxes and cease to pay royalty they can have good vernment. ‘But the party will come out all right. There must be more or less strife in all parties. Joe Hamilton used tosay: ‘Boys, don’t mind these orators who are vilify- ing you. ocratic convention without a fight” Our party is made up of all elements, and the first principle of an Irishman is to hit a head when he sees it. But when the polls are open they all go up and vote the Dem- ocratic ticket. ““Of course there are a lot of fellows in all parties who will get out and shout, ‘1 wouldn’t do what that fellow does'—till they get a chance. There are now on deck a lot of demagogne reformers who vilify men instead of attacking or advocating principles. : “What the party needs here is organiza- tion. When 1t has prepared a platform and nominated officers i needs some or- ganization to look to to see that pledges and principles are carried out. That was the way it used to be. Now there is no organization—no power to look to. Offi- cials are amenable to nobody and they do as they please and disregard pledges with impunity. X “Iam down here on private business and I suppose some people will say that I am trying to run the State Central Com- mittee, but J am not.”” Gavin MeNab talked, too, and again about what the State Central Committee would do about his party machine. He said: ““The State Central Committee wants to be assured that the organization it recog- nizes is Democratic and that it is not com- posed of brokers who wish to secure the nomination of men to serve the purposes of corporations ana of other men whose throats they can cut. Buckley sand Rainey bave been together in_this business, and they are equally obnoxious to the decent element.” H. B. McAvoy is a member of the State Central Committee, and has all along been identified with the Junta. Recently he has favored a compromise proposition in- stead of fighting for the recognition of the Junta, and Gavin McNab has threatened to *“roast’” him before the State Central Committee. Mr. McAvoy said yesterday: “I do not know whether I will introduce any measure at the meeting or not. What I believe in is a square deal, both in poli- ticsand business. I believe that the in- terests of the party demand an open primary that will give everybody a square deal and let the majority of the people s«ay who they want to represent them. That's Democracy., I favor a primary under the Porter law, with inspectors ap- pointed by Registrar Hinton. 1 haveseen abont twenty of the members of the State Central Committee from out of town, and while they are ail opposed to Buckley, as Iam and always have been, they all seem to favor some broad proposition that will unite the party and favor its success.” Said James H. O’Brien yesterday: *‘I be- lieve that the State Central Committee will be fair and sensible and look at_the ques- tion from the standpoint of justice, Demo- cratic principles and the good of the entire party. It will doso if the meeting is not a proxy meeting with Gavin McNab voting the proxies,” His Buggy Wrecked.

The Railrond Commission Meets as Usual, but Its Hands Are Tied by the Railway Suit. The Railroad Commission met yesterday in this City, but owing to the illness of Commissioner Stanton no business was transacted. A letter was received from George W. Reed, attorney for the Oakland, San Le- andro and Haywards Electric Railway Company, asking an extension of time for a reply in the case of the company, charged with being accountable to the commission since it carried freight and passengers. The case was postponed until the next monthly meeting of the commis- sion. As the company discontinued car- rying freight on March 1, it is likely that the complexion of the case has been changea and the matter will be drooped. The commission is waiting the result of the Southern Pacific trial in the United States courts, and, meanwhile, it receives no recognition as formerly from the rail- way. Indeed none of the transportation lines in California are paying any atten- ticn to the commission, now that its validity is under judicial consideration. — e The Wong Sam Case. Wong Sam was before United States Commis- sioner Heacock yesterday in amswer to the charge of unlawfully anding Chinese women at this port. As the defense was not prepared to go on with the case it was continued until Friday. Wong Sam_wnrs the chief witness against Interpreter Williams in a similar ex- amination.

[Sketched from life by a “Call’ artist.] for a commission to go to Japan to investi- | gate the labor problem, but the commission | has not yet been appointed. Mr. Porter’s investigation is personal and unconnected with it. He proposes remaining in the l1and of the chrysanthemum till the last of May. He wants to get home in time for the St. Louis convention. Mr. Porter is a strong believer in the ultimate nomination of William McKinley for President. He says he has lately been all throngh the New England States and in New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and | other States of the West. The feeling, he | says, is for McKinley first and last. He | thinks Tom Reed has mo show, nor ha Cullom. As for Mr. Allison, he says he is | a very good man, but, after all, the greatest thing he has done was to pass theinter-| state commerce law, and he says every- | body knows what that amounts to. | ‘e predicts McKinley will get 400 votes | on the second ballot, and that then he will win so much enthusiasm that there will be a general break for him. “A birdseye view of the Presidential out- look in New York,” he said, “reveals a lukewarm and apoplectic campaign for Mr. | Morton. e | “In Pennsylvania Mr. Quay has himself | on his hands. He can’t hold bis own peo- | ple from going for McKinley. He will get | the favorite son vote; that is, he will get if as a compliment the first time, and after that he will be nowhere. 2 “William Penn Nixon, who as editor of the Inter Ocean, the powerful newspaper | which Las been putting forth Cullom’s claims, says it is conceded McKinley will go into the convention at St. Louis " with more votes than any other man, adds: ‘If McKinley is not nominated on the sec- ond ballot, then I shall regard Mr. Cul- lom’s chances as good as those of any other candidate.’ “The fact is, all over the country Mr. McKinley's great strength is being fast conceded. He has been the central figure in the last three great political campaigns, and is now the legitimate and logical can- didate. It is admitted that the next President will be » Republican. Mr. McKinley, as the able exponent of the tariff, and as always one of the truest and ablest Repub- licans, will undoubtedly, I believe, be the man who will be nominated.” Mr. Porter says he doesn’t know the Pacitic Coast because he hasn’t been here long enough. In Southern California, however, he found an enormous number of Republicans who were for the Ohio states- man. Mr. Porter is accompanied by his wife and children. He will probabiy sail in | about a week. ARRESTED FOR FORGERY. Two Charges Preferred Against James Lull of Berkeley. James Lull, a man about 40 years of age, was arrested on Powell street yesterday afternoon by Detectives Gibson and Wren and booked at the City Prison on two charges of forgery. When Lull’s father, who was a wealthy resident of Berkeley, died, he was left $7500 to be paid to him in installments by 8. B. Patterson, the executor of the estate. He overdrew the amount, and the executor refused to honor any mere of his checks. To get money Lull resorted to forgin the name of 8. B. Patterson to several checks and cashed them in various places. On February 18 a forged check for $45 drawn on the Central Bank, Oakland, was cashed by S. R. Mount of the Russ House bar, and on Tuesday night a forged check for a similar amount was cashed by the | thateity and came here.

Sarah Montserrat swore out a warrant in Judge Low’s court yesterday for the ar- rest of George L. Montserrat, her reputed husband, on the charge of failure to pro- vide. She stated that while in the East her husband deserted her, and she met Mont- serrat, who is an actor. They came to Sacramento together, where they have lived as man and wife for over two years. Two chilaren have been born to them, the youngest being only about a month old. Shortly before the birth of her last child she sued Montserrat for alimony, but she lost her case, as they had not been legally married. The case attracted public atten- tion in Sacramento, and Montserrat left and learning that he had secured an- en- gagement at the Alcazar, she yesterday swore out the warrant for his arrest. ————— An image impressed upon the retina of the eye remains there an appreciable time. | This is the reason why a torch swung rap- idly seems to be a circular iame, NEW TO-DAY. el % TAN BOOTS FOR SUMMER We have just received our first importation.

Another Instanee of the Danger of Procrastination. Interesting Story With the Bright Side-Lights of Truth Thrown Vividly on It. An PROCRASTINATION, OR “THE THIEF OF time,” as it is proverbially termed, certainly works as much harm as any of the vices which are more commoniy called to public attention. The man of an inquiring turn of mind Is cousclous of this, but the heedless may think “there Is nothing much init.” It has caused hundreds of men to fall (0 keep business appointments which might readily have resulted in fortunes that have falien | to the lot of others who have been more punctual, and the men who keep criminal statistics say that those unforcunates who appear to have “driited” into vicious habits unintentionally are almost all of them victims of this pernicious habit. And even nature verifies the truth of the assertion in a marked way. If you have a cold and you neglect it, it will ot be surprising if 1t turns to congestion of the lungs, in a mild manner at any rate. If you have a bruised finger and do not keep the air from it a fester may readily ensue, and so om. And when we come t0 the more serious ailments—nerv- ous diseases, for Instance—the danger of delay in getting proper help is at times appalling In its dreadful consequences to the procrastinator. There is, up in Trinity County, a gentleman who has a very decided opinion on this point, for,to use a colloquialism, “he has gone through the mill.” It is J. S. Bailey of Weaverville, who was suffering from & most severe attack of nervous trouble when he applied to the great specialists at that wonderful curative establishment—the Hudson Medical Institute. Mr. Bailey’s opinion on pro- crastination is clearly expressed In the following letter, which he has seen fit to write: Weaverville, Cal., August 6, 1898, Hudson Medical Institute, San Franciaco, Cal. Gentlemen: I will now state that after two months’ treatment_with you I feel fully restored 10 health and wish to express my gratitude to you for your speedy ald. Ialso wish (o say that any person who may be suffering from any nerv- ous disorders would be doing themselves actusl in- justice and harm ot to consult the Hudson Medi- ay. £ cal Institute witbout delay. urs tn hoalth, That 1s short, crisp and true. Every one who consults these wonderful physicians has the same sort of praise for them. Just listen: S. M. Hooker of Los Angeies write as though I was & cured and a well man. Frank Minturn of St. Louis, Mo.: “I have not felt 80 well in five years as I 40 now.” E.W. Fowler of Kamele, Or., says: “I am feeling a5 good now as jt is possible for a man to feel.” K. C. Taft of Stowe, Cal., writes: “I am feeling fine, without & sign of a disease now.” Truly the amount of testimony of this nature which is received at the great “Mecca for all the sick” would surprise any one. Every mafl brings letters of thanks and appreciation, and ic is now- unquestioned that for all curable diseases nowhere is there so certain a chance for a rapid and safe cure as at the grandgst of alliestablish- ments of its nature on this continent.
