GRAND ARMY VETERANS Lincoln Pays Thomas Post a Fraternal Visit—The Santa Cruz En- campment. A regular meeting of George H. Thomas Post, G. A. R., was held last evening. The session was enlivened by a fraternal visit of Lincoln Post. It is not violating any secrets of the ses- sion to say that, as the commander of Lincoln and the commander of Thomas Post sat together side by side on the plat- form, the comrades assembled admired the beauty as well as the talentin the commanding station. Comrade W. Smedberg was present in good oratorical form. Orders have been promulgated from De- partment Commander Wiison announcing the encampment at Santa Cruz, begin- ning April 22. The railroad charge will be reduced for tbe round trl}w so as to ve full fare going and one-third fare returning. Santa Cruz botels and restaurants an- nounce material reduction from the regu- harges. Jmi!c is L:Ir:nnwn that the questions of Vet- erans’ Home management will be fully dizcussed at the Sauta Cruz encampment, and the attendance promises to be large. Among the prominent candiaates for department commander is T. C. Masteller. sssistant adjutant-general and a mem ber of Lincoin Post. He has already received many substantial indorsements, and so will enter the contest with positive strength on the first ballot. e Wong Sam Case.

ALONG THE WATER FRONT The Long - Distance Speaking Trumpet Given a Prac- . tical Test. IT WAS A GENUINE SUCCESS. St. Patrick’s Day Was Duly Honored by the Shipping Men and Sailors. The Alaska Packers’ Association has de- | cided to equip all its vessels with the new | sel will be overhauled and will then load in the stream. Charley #iddleton, a Telegraph Hill boy, nearly lost his life at Vallejo-street wharf yesterday. He fell overboard, and had it not been for James Olden of Oak- land he would surely have been drowned. Once on the wharf Charley soon recovered and made tracks for home. Captain Shaw of the red-stack tug Red- mond did a very clever piece of work yes- terday morning. The ship Two Brothers was to dock at Main-street wharf, but on account of the heavy fog Wharfinger Dry- den advised the towboat people not to move her. They answered that the 'IjOb would be put off)umil this morning. The Redmond had already taken hold- of the ship, however, and while the conversation was going on he had run her into the slip in spite of the fog, and in seven minutes the vessel was tied up at the wharf and the tug was on her way back to Vallejo street. It was a very, clever piece of towboating in the circumstances, The sealing schooner Emma and Louisa changed hands yesterday, but who her purchaser is Ross & Hewlett will not tell. Captain Wyman wanted to buy her, but when he went to the owners with the THAKKS FOR YELLOW CARS But the Merchants Are Not Yet Entirely Sat- isfied. WANT MORE PRIVILEGES. Committee on Streetcar Trans’ers ‘Send a Well-Worded Reply to Mr. Vining. At a special meeting held yesterday by the committee on streetcar transfers of the Test of the Long-Distance Speaking-Trumpet From the Tug Fearless. It Was Easy to Talk to a Boa a Mile Off and to the British Ship Reliance and Monitor Camanche. |Sketched by a “Call” artist.] speaking-trumpet that has been so thor- | oughly tested on the big tug Fearless. In | order to satisfy themselves as to its merits | S. B. Matthews, the company’s cannery superintendent, and Sydney S. Smith, chief.clerk, went out in a Whitehall boat vesterday and took one of the instruments with them. When away beyond the British ship Reliance they could hear every word distinctly and Captain Dan Haskell and Mr. Matthews kept up quite an animated conversation although fully a mile apart. The monitor Camanche was within hail- ing distance and the watch aboard was ordered to go below and take a stiff horn of whisky in honor of St. Patrick. The men looked around in bewilderment but they did not go below—as the demijohn was empty. 7The Reliance was decked with flags in honor of Ireland’s patron saint, and Captain Haskell turned the tube on the ship while Messrs. Matthews "and Smith awaited results a few boat-lengths | away. “Reliance, ahoy!” called Captain Dan, and the men on deck ran to the side. “Hurrah for ould Ireland{” and the crew took it up and the answering cheer was heard at Folsom-street wharf. The Alaska Packers’ Association is so pleased with the new instruments that it will equip all its vessels with them. There will be one for each boat and when the men are away from the vessel and caught in a fog they will have no difficulty in reaching the schooners. The Alameda was docking at Folsom street yesterday after finishing discharzing .at the sugar refinery. One of the speaking- tubes was aboard and with its aid and that of the one on the tug Fearless the steamer was docked in a few minutes, in spite of the fact that the fog was <o thick that the lookont could not see twenty feet ahead. In honor of St.Patrick’s day the men on the British ship Reliance were given a holiday and Captain Robinson saw that they enjoyed themselves. Themen on the State dredgers and all the street-sweepers were given a half holiday by Chief Wharf- inger Root and the men thoroughly appre- ciated the privilege. The officers of the revenue cutters were all in full dress and the sailors were togged out in their Sun- day clothes. Very little work was done and Main street was crowded by peovle | anxious to get a look at Uncle Sam’s reve- | nue protectors when everything is on “‘dress parade.” The Harbor Commissioners held a very short session yesterday. President Coinon is in Los Angeles, and as there was very little business to transact Commissioners Cole and Chadbourne cut the meeting short. Secretary Keegan drew the atten- tior of the board to the fact that English vessels had beentodging the payment of dues on their full tonnage. Captain Beeching of the ship Ellesmere put in a rebate for. 130 tons. He said the ship turned out that much less than the Cus- tem-house papers showed she carried. Commissioner Chadbourne said they conld not go behind the official record. Captain Beecham got angry and said he would not Esy the bill. “I move that the attorney e instructed to at once begin action to recover the amount,” said Commissioner Cole, and the motion wus carrigd. The Ellesmere will now have to move Into the stream and either her captain will pay the bill or the ship will be libeled. Some time ago President Colnon discov- ered that contractors when they were not using their barges and pile-drivers moored them at the foot of Second street. As they wera taking up valugble space it was de- cided to charge them wharfage. A bill was therefore sent to James McMahon, as ne was the only one occupying the space last month. McMahon paid' it, but yes- terday he entered a vigorous protest. The matter went over for a week, until Presi- dent Colnon gets back, and then it will be thoroughly discussed. The secretary was instructed to adver- tise for proposals for the erection of a new shed over Howard pier 2. The bark Empire will have a new stem put in and will get a thorough overhauling at Main street. She will then_sail for the sound in ballast, and there will load lurm- ber for Australia. There was quite a quantity of salt ruined on the old whaling bark Emma F. Herri- man yesterday. When her hull was being tested two auger-holes were bored and the | men forgot to plug them up. When the salt sunk the vessel to the level of the holes the vessel dlled and sank into the soit mud. Atlow water the Herriman was umped out and the holes plugged. The f’oss was only about 100 tons of salt. The rush for Alaska still goes on. The steamer Dora is being overhauled, and the bark Electra and ship Two Brothers wiil be ready to sail in a few days. All of them are bound for the canneries, but passen- gers for Cooks Inlet will be carried. The miners on the Yukon and Douglass Island are short of blasting powder, so the steamer Yaquina has been chartered to take a full cargo of the explosive to Alaska. The ves- money he was told she was already sold. ! Merchants’ Association the letter of Man- The schooner will be fitted out for 8 trip to the Alaska gold fields. MAY END THE RATE WAR A Possible Adjustment of the| Portland-San Francisco Differences. C. J. Smith Expected to Act Mediator Between the Two Warring Carriers. as There is now a prospect of a settlement of the differences between the Southern Pacific Company and the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company relative to the passenger and freight traffic between this City and Portland, Or., and which have led to a most bitter rate warfare for the past five months. e Incidentally the Oregon Improvement Company, which owns the stock of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, is in- volved, as the latter company operates not only a line of steamers to Puget Sound, but has the State of California running between this port and Portland. And on all the veesels on these routes the rates have been cut in order to protect the busi- ness of the company from the cut rates of the two active combatant companies. In consequence the Pacific Coast Steamshi Company has been a large loser and will continue to be so while the situation re- mains as it is. Refore the battle was ogened between the railroad and steamship lines the Ore- gon Improvement Company was called into the conference in the hope that its representative might suggest some means by which harmony might be maintained, but, as events proved, without having been able to do so. e C. J. Smith of the Oregon Improvement Company arrived bere from the north yesterday and it was reported from Ta- coma that his visit had for its object the consideration of the troubles of the war- ring transportation companies and a pos- sible soiution of them. When Mr. Smith was seen by a CaLn representative he denied that his coming was for the purpose of acting as mediator in the matter mentioned, but added that his company would certainly be willing and glad to act in that capacity in order 10 bring the rate-cutling to an end, as all parties concerned must certainly be tired of their strained relations. e stated that he had not been approached on the mat- ter, but could not tell what would happen during his stay. He will leave for San Luis hisdpo this morning, but will be back in a few days. Among the railroad people it is confi- deatly stated tkat his visit portends the early adjustment of the pending on Portland-San Francisco busine: The Southern Pacific Keople claim to be getting more business than they can take care of on the Portland special or steamer trains. On last Saturday they claim to have sold tickets .to 254 people—all that could be accommodated on one train—and to nave refused at Jeast one carload of pas- sengers. At one time Mr. Stubbs agreed to come to an agreement with the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company on the basis of each being allowed 50 per cent of the pas- senger business. Since the war began, however, he has come {o the conclusion that his company should have at least two- thirds of this business. It is due to this lack of agreement upon what proportion each company shall enjoy that the rate war continues. e S SCALDED HIS MOTHER. Tom Shaughnessy Behind the Bars, Charged With Battery. Tom Shaughnessy, a husky individual, 27 years of age, was arrested last evening by Policeman Rainsbury, at the instance of his mother, Ellen Shaughnessy, who lives at 1219 Kearny street, and detained at the California-street police station on a charge of battery. Mrs. Shaughnessy al- leges that her son has been in the habit of abusing her, but last evening he capped the climax by throwing a bucket of scald- ing water on her. In corroboration of her statement she exposed her right hand and a'm, which were swathed in cotton, it be- ing badly burned and blistered. She says that she” stood his abuse as long as possje ble, l:iul finally decided to have him ar- rested. e e Goethe had a large Roman nose, rather more bent than usual in that type. ager Vining dated March 3, embodying his reply to the first communication sent by the merchants to the Market-street Rail- way Company, was considered and a reply fully covering the points at issue was sent to Mr. Vining. The original communication of the merchants suggested certain additions to be made to the present transier system, the principal result of which would be to benefit the merchants on Kearny street by according to them an equal footing with merchants of other streets of the City more favorably situated in the matter of transfers. The Merchants’ Association further stated that if these additions were made they would petition the Board of Super- visors to make traffic in transfers illegal. Mr. Vining replied that from the com- pany’s_ standpoint such a proposition would involve the placing of the company under a perpetual obligation, because the existence oi a certain condition of affairs leads the pubtic to regard it as the proper condition and any unexpected change from this condition is considered by the public an injustice, although the company might be suffering a great loss. e further stated that the company would be willing to give transfers from eastbound Mission-street cars to north- bound Kearny-street cars and vice versa, {I it could be safely done without tinancial oss. Finally the only solution of the trans- portation of passengers irom Mission dis- trict to Kearny street in the mind of the company, after carefully considering all points in connection with it, was the in- troduction_of a line of cars from some point on Mission street, either Twenty- second or Twenty-ninth streets, via Mis- sion street, turning northerly at Third street and running thence north on Kearny street at least as far as Jackson street, and possibly to run as far north on Kearny as Broadway. thence east on Broadway to East street, and thence via East street to the ferries, thus absorbing the present Broadway iine. Mr. Vining also stated that cars were already ordered and being built for this line. They are to be of a different color from the "Kearny-street cars, and that probably two months would be necessary to complete them. In repivto Mr Vining the merchants by their special committee, consisting of A. B. Baldwin, W.T. Doane, M. 8. Kobl- berg, H. D. Keil, Frank A. Swain, C. 8. Benedict, 8. W. Dixon, F. F. Du Rose, Joln Farpham, A. S. Hallidie, Frank Markey, H. H. Taylor, George D. Toy, D. W. Dorhmann, J. Richard Freud, M. Hart, Charles Keilus, formulated the followin, E. P. Vining Esq,, General Manager Market- street Raiiway Company, City—DEAR SIR: Your favor of the 3d inst., addressed to the Mer- chants’ Association, relative to transers to and from the Kearny-street line, has been re- ferred to us as the committee appointed by that association upon the subject of transfers. We suggested that the trausfers existing on Kearny street were within your general trans- fer system and principle governing the same, and have therefore become, as it were, part of the value of the property and business on Kesrny street and should not_have been en- tirely abandoned when the trolley system was inaugurated on that street. We fully realize that not all transfers can become permanent and changes of transfers must be made when circumstances governing the same make dif- ferent arrangements necessary. We note that your company disclaims any promises alleged to have been made to the merchants along Kearny street relating to the transfer system of that thoroughfare; and, while we are creditably informed that certain promises were made by Mr. Reid, a solicitor in the employ of your company, who was dele- gated 10 obtain the signatures of the Kearny- street merchants and property-owners to a petition for an electric road on that thorough- fare, we are willing to assume that such prom- ises'were not authorized ‘bv vour company, and are desitous of eliminating from the pro; osition of transfers the question of moral obli- ation, and will, therefore, discuss it from a usiness standpoint. As far as we cah see it is one that involves only two questions: First, whether the reve- .nue of your company will be increased, or, at least, will not be diminished, and second, whether the transfers asked for will be a con- venience to your patrons and will not be abused by them. ~ The- transfer system which the property- owners and a large number of people engaged in business not only on Kearny street but_ in un area tributary thereto, as well asa number of people residing at the Mission and in the Western Addition north of California street, ask to have adopted by your company is as follows: . First—From southbound Kearny and Third street cars to Market and' Mission eastbound, and Clay and Mission street cars eastbound. Second—From northbound Third and Kearny street cars to Mission and Market street cars eastbound and westbound, and Clay-street cars westbound. Third—From Sacramento and Jackson street cars eastbound to Kearny-street cars south- bound oniy. Fourth—From eastbound gnd westbound Mis- sion-street cars to Third-stréet cars northbound and southbound. Fifth—From Market-street cars eastbound to Third-street cars southbound, but not to Kearny-street cars northbound. Sixth—From ferry via Market and Kearny | & trade whi street cars northbound and Third-street cars southbound. ¥ We understand from your several communi- cations on this subject thAtsuca & syst-in is obéectiomble,!rom the fact that a passenzer taking the cars at the Third and Town:ed street depot, for instance, will be permitted to transfer at Clay street for the westbound cars, again transfer at Clay and Powell to a south- bound car and transfer again at the intersec- tion of Powell and Market and thus, by your present system, return to the starting point by paying only one fare. We thiuk that you will admit that the number of people who would be likely to make such an excursion is infini- tesimal. We realize, though, that while the ori passenger may not be inclined to make a round trip for one fare, his transfer may be passed {0 some one else and thus two passengers are enabled to travel in opposite irections for one fare, which we assume is transfers B the most serious objection to givin, from the Kearny street cars to_westbound Sac- | ramento and Jackson-street cars, It seems to us that this can be obviated by abolishing the transfers on the southbound Powell-street cars from the westbound Jackson and Sacra- mento street cars. It would also be necessary to abolish transfers from the northbound Pow- ell-street cars to eastbound Sacramento-street cars to prevent contiuuous passage from Third and Townsend oy way of Marketand Pow- ell-street lines and return on Sacramento and Kearny-street cars. If trausfers are issued to and from the Kearny-street line and the Sacra- mento and Jackson street cars, people residing 1n the Western Addition, between California and Pacific avenue, traveling to and from the center of retail trade, will be enabled to reach their homes and places of business more con- veniently over yonr system than by taking the Market-street cars, which are usually very much crowded, going five or six blocks out of their way, necessitating a transier at Powell street, and at certain times of the day and week another transfer to the Saeramento and Jacks' n street cars. In aadition to this a much more convenient and direct route would be afforded to them in traveling to and from the depot at Th.ra snd Tc wisend streets. We appreciate the fact that it would be nec- essary to adopt some method to prevent resi- dents of the Mission, eastbound, from transfer- ing to your Third-street line and again trans- ferring at Third and Market to youar west- bound Market-street cars, thus making a trip from the Mission and return posfible. If your new system will prevent this it seems to us that you can prohibit the issuing of transfers at Market and Third stre to westbound Market-street cars to those passengers who have? been transterred from the Mission.street line. transfers are given as requested by us the fol- lowing would be the result: Residents of the Western Addition would be enabled to travel to ana from the Southern Pacific depot (at Third and Townsend streets) at a saving of fully five minutes in time over the present roundabout route by way of Poweil street. . A route from the Mission to North Beach would be esteblished without involving the ex- }yunsc of additional cars which is contemplated n your through line system. Those starting from the ferry and desiring to reach any point on Kearny street, between Sacrameno and Post, would travel over your line rather than walk as they donow to the California-street cars or patronize the Sutter- street horsecar line. All of which, in our opinion, would result in profit to your com- pany and convenience to your patrons, besides materially assistipg in restoring Kearny street ich it is rast losing by reason of an unfair discrimination against it in transfer privileges. We do not underestimate the advantage in the through line you propose to inaugurate from the Mission to and along Kearny street, as compared to the present system, and will be glad to see it established, as it will save passen- gers the annoyance ot transfers at Third and Mission streets, as we suggest. We confess, though, this is the only point we can see in and if it is 1o be regarded as an ex- periment involving an additional expense in the operation of your system as now run, we naturally discontinue it. us which enter into the proposition that ne- cessitates separate and distinct cars to and the Merchants’ Association will doubly appre- request. As there could be no abuse of such & privilege at this transfer point we take it for granted that you contemplate giving transfers at Broadway and Kearny streets to North Beach upon the proposed new line from the Mission, thus giving North Beach the corre- sponding transfer privilege to the one it for- merly enjoyed MILITIA INSPECTION.
