A WARNING TO CONTRACTORS. Practice Marches Contemplated — No Sutsistence Depot at Los Angzles. Plans for the quartermaster’s new stebles at the Presidio were recently prepared by Col. N, 8. Kimball and forwarded to Wash- Some changes were made, which could not be complied with owing to the lay of the land and surroundings and so modified plans were prepared. Last Sat- urday a message was received by wire from Washington that the modified plans had been approved. Bids for building the stables will be invited without further delay. Contractors bidding on Governmeni work at the Presidio are advised that the vlans and specifications prepared at the office of the department quartermasterin this City, and approved by the quarter- master-general and Secretary of War, cannot be changed for the convenience of the contractor. The kind of material to be used is clearly specified. The authori- ties here cannot allow any deviation from the contract or permit one kind of ma- terial to be substituted for another. Con- tractors who have been working for the City and State, and who bave often had permission to make changes here and there when specified materials were not immediately accessible, complain of great haraships imposed by the Government. As an example Contractor Hansen's ex- perience in building double brick barracks Nos. 2 and 3 at the Presidio is cited. Col- onel Kimballis of the opinion that Hansen, who received nearly $35,000 for one of the double buildings and & sum in excess of $35,000 for the other, should have cleared $5000 on the contract, yet it is acknowl- edged that he lost money. The engineer, Mr. Humphreys, is blamed for exacting too much from the contractor. Colonel Kimball is of the opinion that the contractor wasted time and effort to procure material different from that speci- fied. Again work was done contrary to the specifications and had to be taken out and done over again. A short time ago Colonel Kimball found that the contractor for supplying pipes | and extending the water mains at the Pre- sidio delivered six or seven wagon loads | of pipe, and not half of the material had the hub-joints plainly required by the specifications. Moreover the pipe was under weight and plainly marked so. The pipe, it is thought, was an underweight lot made at the Oregon penitentiary. When it was promptly rejected the con- tractor wanted to park 1t on the reserva- tion, but was ordered to take it away and 50 he had to stand the double expense of hauling the material to the ground and hauling it away. In city and State work obliging inspee- tors permit contractors to put in the cheapest material and do work in the easiest manner, but the Government In- spector has no authority to allow depar- ture from specifications. That can only be done by the Becretary of War. Some queer notions of advertising for public work have autnority of law in ‘Washington. For example, the advertise- ment for work now authorized at the Pre- sidio—the filling in of marsh landsand the | building of new stables—must be published in one paper at Portland, Oregon. In line with the policy recently adopted by the Department at Washington for the concentration of troops and the commis- sary stations, the depot for purchasing and distributing commissary sapplies at Los Angeles for the troops in Arizona and New Mexico will soon be abolished. The needed supplies will hereafter be pur- coased in San Francisco and St. Louis. Major W. A. Elderkin, commissary of subsisience at Los Angeles, has been or- dered to report for duty at San Antonio, Texas. Itis estifnated that the Los An- geles purchases amount to $100,000 per annum. It is now accepted as a fact that the First Infantry, which has been stationed in this harbor for ten years, will be re- lieved this summer by the Fourteenth In- fantry. A report comes from Washington that as soon a8 the transportation fund for the next fiscal year is availablein July, two artillery regiments will change sta- tions, the Third and Fifth. This is ac- cepted as meaning that the Fifth, General Graham'’s regiment, will go south and the Third come to San Francisco, The six batteries of the Fifth regiment now sta- tioned at the Presidio are occupying the ‘best military quarters that the officers and enlisted men of the regiment ever saw. Captain Frank Thorp’s Light Battery D moved into Brick Barracks No. 3 last Tbursday. Theaccommodations provided are modern and first-class. There ara reading-rooms, offices, sleeping apart- ments, modern toilet appliances, spacious bath-tubs, kitchen range, dining-room, wide halls, abundant light, spacious porch or veranda and views of sea, mountain and forest that are unsurpassed. Practice marcbes of artillery, ecavalry and infantry will be the order in this de- partment whether troops come or gounder the transfer system. The four companies of the Fourth Cavalry, now on duty at the Presidio, have been ordered to the Govern- ment reservation of Setiuoin and Yosemite for patrol duty, and will march about June 1. Should the First Infantry remain, a practice march to Santa Cruz and return will probably be ordered. Under the present regulations lxnxantrimurches take place in July and August. Light artillery marches and practice occur in June and July. Lieutenant MecGrath, Fourth Cavalry, and_Lieutenant Brown, Fourth Infantry, are in San Francisco to appear before the examining board for promotion. Lieutenant Willoughby Walke, Fifth Artillery, has been granted six months' leave of absence on surgeon’s certificate. Lieutenant J. B. Erwiu, Fourth Cavalry, has been promoted to the rank of captain. Lieutenant G. H. Preston, Fourth Cavalry, has been transferred to Troop A, Ninth Cavalry, Fort Robinson, Nebr. The army officers that recently accom- panied the Marquis, Field Marshal Yama- gata of Japan on his visit to military stations of this harbor were General For- syth, General Grabam, Colonel Young, Lieutenant Bell and Lieutenant Landis. On_the trip the navy was represented by Chief Engineer F, A."Wilson, Constructor Capps and Lientenant Burrage. ‘ayments to troops on the muster of March 34, 1896, are assigned to paymasters as follows: ¢ Major Alfred E. Bates—Presidio of San Francisco and Fort Mason, Cal. sfajor Jobn 8. Witcher—Alcatraz Isl- and, Angel Island, Benicia Barracks, Benicia Arsenal and San Diego Barracks, Cal. Lieutenant-Colonel David 8, Gordon, Sixth United States Cavalry, who is well known in Ban Francisco and highly re- garded in the army, is to be retired next month. A measure is pending in Congress FIFTH ARTILLERY MAY G0] to retire him with the rank of colonel, He began his service in 1861, serving as one of the guard of President Lincoln in the east room of the White House in April of that year. He served thirty-two years in the Second Cavalry, and it is said of his irontier duty that he has camped on every stream on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains from the Mexican border to the British’ Columbia line. He was pro- moted for gallantry at Gettysburg, and won Jaurels in many Indian fights.. CADETS WILL DRILL. Companies Selected for the Contest for the Montgomery Trophy on Friday Night. The League of the Cross Cadets held a competitive drill at the Mechanics’ Pa- vilion yesterday afternoon in order to se- lect the three best companies to enter the contest against Company B of St. Patrick’s Parish for the Bishop Montgomery trophy. The contest will be held at the Mechanics’ Pavilion next Friday night. The affair is being looked forward to with the keenest interest both by the boys and their friends. The Archbishop, Bishop Montgomery, Monsignor Nugent and other dignitaries of the church will be present. The com- panies that competed in yesterday’s drill were the following: Company A, St. Mary’s Cathedral, Captain Drady; Com- vany D, Sacred Heart Parish, Captain J. McBri Company E, 8t. James Parish, Captain Wil cCarthy; Comparg G, St. Bridget's Parish, Captain Power; Com- any H, St. Brendan’s Parish, Captain J. Ecwer; Company I, St. Peter's Parish, Captain Haggarty. The three companies selected for the competition on Friday evening will not be announced until that time. The judges were Captain Marshall, Captain Eggert and Lieutenant Curzon of the First In- fantry, N. G. C. The judges on Friday will be Captain Thorp, Captain Reilley and Lieutenant Urley of the Fifth Ar- titlery, U. 8. A, dlsic e O Two Sudden Deaths. The sudden deaths of two aged men were re~ ported at the Morgue yesterday. In one case the deceased was not identified. He wes 8 man of about 70 years of age and had heen roaming round the wharves of late, having no fixed place of abode. The engineer of the bark Germania gave him permission to slees in the engine-room, where he was found dead yester- de}' morning. he other deceased was known as Samucl Meyers, aged about 64 years. He had been until recently engaged as a wool-sorter at the woolen-mills before that institution was closed. He resided at 3011 Larkin street, where he was found dead in bed. PROGRESS OF THE STRIKE, An Aggressive Move to Be Pur- sued Upon the Parrott Block Tie-Up. Labor Unions Again Confronted by Their Old Enemy, the Profit- Sharing System. The Building Traaes Council’s grievance committee and business agents have de- termined to pursue an aggressive policy relative to the strike now on hand, and particularly upon the strike on the Par- rott building. In the latter case extra efforts will be made to induce Bruschke's and Kuss' workmen to leave their work and join the unions of their calling. From now on the job will be picketed, and every means except violence will be used by the union men to accomplish their end. These extra efforts will be made in con- sequence of information received at head- quarters that both contractors are en- deavoring to bind their men to their re- spective shops by the introduction of the profit-sharing system. It is said that the system is or has been in vogue in Kuss’ shop. A wunion work- man who recently worked in Bruschke's shop stated that the latter, since the strike began, has been endeavoring to induce all of his non-union men to sign a sort of co- partnership agreement based on the prin- ciples of the profit-sharing system. The union men recognize the fact that once a workman enters into such a contract it will be impossible to ever induce the man to leave the shcp in which he believes he has an interest. The profit-sharing busi- ness is regarded as most antagonistic to trades unionism, therefore the determina- tion to reduce Bruschke's force before such a contract can be entered into. The council is desirous of correcting a misunderstanding on the part of many Jelative to James Logan’s job on Post and Larkin streets. It was reported that he had yiolated an implied agreement with the business agents in permitting non- union lathers to work upon his contract longer than a day and a half after April 1. Tke business azents and grievance com- mittee visited the premises and found that the objectionable lathers had been dis- | charged according to_the understanding. The job is fully unionized, and Mr. Logan, who has always been a union man, asserts that he will never have any but union men work for him. The job in guestion has been declared “fair” and will cause the council no further trouole. Reports upon the painters’ strike are very encouraging to the leaders. Since April 1, when the working-card went into effect, union painters have struck several jobs where attempts were made to force them to work with non-union painters. In most instances the non-union men have been discharged, and the union men re- called. The dpainters’ strike has been greatiy relieved by many of the employing painters unionizing their shops. This per- mits a large number of painters to return to work and help those wno are still out on strike. The Glaziers Union, the’ youngest in the Building Trades Council, has determined to carry out the spirit of unionism to the letter. Their organization was effected, not without opposition, but the union men are determined to comrel their employers to recognize the councils. To this end the following notice to the men of that craft has been issued under the seal of the union: BAN FRANCISCO, April 4. Glaziers will please take notice! That on and after Tuesday, the 8th inst., all glaziers will bave to have ‘& card. The same is read and will be distributed at the Temple Hull.llg Turk street, on Mondn‘ evening. All union workmen connected with the Building Trades Council will please see that every glazier has his working-card. CAUGHT IN THE ACT. Officers Meyers and Peshon Capture a Chinese Lottery in Full Blast. Ah Yak and his cousin Ah On were neatly surprised by Policemen G, W, Meyers and P. A. Peshon of the China- town squad yesterday afternoon at their lottery headquarters, 747! Sacramento street, The pair of wily Mongolians had before them about 1000 lottery tickets, which they were busily engaged in stamping before being issued for sale for the afternoon’s drawing, when Officer Meyers, having pre- viously located the secret spring to the patent lock, opened the door leading into the room where the pair of law-breakers were at work, The haul made by tbe in- truding officers spoilea the Mongolians’ anticipations, inasmuch as the tickets had all been marked at the selling price of §1 25 each. On the outside, hid In convenient doorways, were about fifty white lottery agents, who were waiting to fill orders with the tickets, where delivered. In this, however, they were doomed to dis- appointment, as the tickets, together with the Chinamen, were safely locked up in the California-street police station, ——————————— NATURE'S great remedy.

He Had Been Suffering From Dropsy but th: End Came When Least Expected. * George R. B. Hayes died yesterday morning at his residence, 2513 Pacific avenue. Although he had been ailing for | some months past, his death was wholly unexpected and came with scarcely a premonition, Mr. Hayes suffered for a long time from a dropsical affection. Recently Drs, Win- dell and Luke Robinson operated upon him and he secmed relieved, even when the physicians saw his case was a hopeless one. His condition remained the same, fluctuating from day to day. Saturday he complained of feeling unwell and stayed at home, but yesterday morning he was better, and made preparations vo attend services in 8t, Mary’s Cathedral, While dressing he lapsed into unconsciousness, and in a brief time he was dead. The immediate cause of death was pressure upon the heart caused by dropsy: Mr. Hayes was a successful attorney, a Keramidas, G. Manitaras, C. Scliris, Kanelakis, A. Fundas, M. Bacopules, Kosta, A.

B. Hayes, the Brilllant Attorney Who Passed Away Yesterday at His Home in This City, [Reproduced from a photograph.] member of the law firm of Stanly, Hayes & Bradley. He was also personalattorney for Archbishop Riordan. He was born in Belfast, Treland, in 1847, and educated in the national schools and the Queen’s Col- lege, Belfast. In 1863 he came to America and did not end his journey until he ar- rived in San Francisco, where he entered the law office of his uncle and completed his legal studies. After having been ad- mitted to the bar he became associated with the firm of Stanly & Hayes, which then became known as Hayes, Stanly & Hayes. Three years later fudge Stanly withdrew to act as County Juage, and Mr. Hayes and his uncle continued together for several years. For a time he practiced his profession alone, andin 1879 a new firm, Stanly, Stoney & Hayes, was estab- lished. The three lawyers forming this tirm rose to the front ranks of the legal ‘?rofession in San Francisco, and eventunl‘liy udge Stoney was succeeded by Mr. Brad- ley. r. Hayes made a reputation for him- self in the Colton case,in which he was the workhorse, and led his colleagues in many features of the great conflict. His last forensic appearance was as counsel for Father Nugent in the Gallagher suit over an estate, and bis last effort in poli- tics was made before the Democratic State Central Committee in the California Hotel three weeks ago last Saturday, when he Erotes(cd against interference of the State ody in the party issue of San Francisco. He was a strong Democrat, and has been a delegate for many years to the City, State and National conventions. When quite a iounv man he was elected to the State ezislature. Those who knew him intimatel speak of him as a man generous to the last de- gree, of kindly disposition and popular among his confreres. He enjoyed an abundance of ready wit, was quick in ac- tion, aggressive and possessed of unusual ability and talent. He married about five vears ago, and leaves a widow. The funeral will take place Tuesday morning. EASTER AMONG GREEKS. They Celebrate Their Holiday With All the Pomp of Ancient Days. It 18 only about twice in a decade that the Greek Easter comes on the same day as that of the Catholiecs, and yesterday when this event occurred the Hellenis Mutual Benevolent Society made it a point to celebrate the event with all the ancient pomp and modern side issues they could throw in. The religious ceremonies of the usual order took place, beginning early in the evening of Saturday at the Greek church on Powell street, near Filbert. They closed aiter midnight, and under ordinary circumstances the entire congregation would haye celebrated the advent of Easter bya triilnm the green fields and by pelt- ing each other with eggs, colored and otherwise, but emptied of their meat so as not to be hurtful. The weather, however, stood in the way of the outing and it was decided to gather at some downtown hall or other place cal- culated to afford shelter and comfort, where Gregorian hymns, “Muezzin' chants and “Kleptika,” made famous by Byron, might be neard. The crowd went to the Sparta, where M. D, Vanvales presided over the repast and D. 8. Camarinos, founder of the Hellenic Society, saw that the wave of the silk was well done in the “‘Czaraa” dance. Among those present were; D. G. Cam- arinos, M. D. Vanvales, C. Demetrak, G. Fundas, A. George, P. Caryounes, E. Stathopulos, N, Apalodimas, A, Simaco- ulos, C, Gnapilosk C. Catechi, N.

BROWN MAY GO NORTH, The Pastor of the First Church Would Not Decline a Call. Has Not Yet Received Official Notifi- cation From Tacoma—Easter Service and Classes. The Easter decorationsof the First Con- gregational Church were not nearly so elaborate as those offered to the pastor on the occasion of his return to the pulpit the Sunday following his conviction by the ccclesiastical council. Dr. Brown appeared in excellent voice. ““Christ the First Fruits’ wasthe theme on which he dwelt at considerable length. The order of the morning service was elaborate. At the conclusion of this exercise Dr. Brown proceeded to organize what is known as the Pastor’s Bible class. Nearly 100 of his friends came forward and ex- pressed a desire to become members of the new organization, This means that Mrs. Cooper’s Bible class is forever done away with, so far as the pastoror the First Con- gregational Church is congerned. At theevening service Dr. Brown took for his subject, “Resurrections in This g;ifeé‘ A full choral programme was ren- ered, Mrs. Cooper's Biblg class met as usual in Native Sons’ Hall yesterday af 12:45 P, M. Inspite of the extremely disagree- able climatic conditions 158 people were present. At 6:30 o'clock the Christian Endeavor- ers met in the same room, 110 members being present. “I'am not prepared to dispute the |tory published in THE CALL this morning,” said Pastor Brown, ‘‘concerning my re- cail by the First Church of Tacoma, and I know absolutely nothing about it.”” “The public is to unaerstand then that there is no truth in the statement,’” gested the reporter. “Not by any means,” was the unexpected answer. “I wan: to say that I have no official notification of such action, Asa matter of fact, I would not be surprised if such a thing had been cone, but if so I have not been informed. Before my acquittal a prominent member of the Tacoma church said if 1 was not satisfied with the verdict I could go back there. 1| have heard nothing more from bim since that time.” “Would you accept a call from the Tacoma church?” was then asked. “I do not_care to say at this time,” the pastor replied evasively. *‘A little later I luhject."“ something to say on this (THE TOLAA MAY BE LOSTI No Tidings of Count Festetics’ Yacht for Six Long Months. FRIENDS BECOMING ALARMED. The Crew May Have Mutinisd or the Vess:I May Have Been Caught by Cannibals. Many of the friends of Count and Count- ess Festetics are beginning to feel alarmed because no tidings of the yacht Tolna have been received for six months. Last October the little schooner left Sydney, N. 8. W., and the Count and Countess sent word to friends in this City to forward all mail to Japan. They stated that it was their intention to sail there as rapidly as they counld, and then proceed on their voy- age around the world. Mail and merchandise from this City reached Japan all right, but evidently the Tolna did not, and from all reports the packages are still waiting claimants. ‘Whether they will ever come or not is now beginning to look doubtful, From all that can be learned nothing bas veen seen norheard of the Tolna since she left Sydney. Several seamen who have lately been in that part of the globe over which the vessel would have to pass had not heard a thing about her. At the dif- ferent headquarters where seamen meet and talk over things nobody can be found who has heard anything about the miss- sing vessel. A number of seamen are of the opinion that the Tolna is not so very long overdue considering the fact that she is a slow ves- sel and in charge of a man who isnot a practical navigator. Severalold salts who know every shoal and current in the Pacific express the opinion that the vessel will not be heard from for a year yet. They say that unless a man thoroughly under- stands the trade winds he is likely to get among some of the islands and stay there becalwed, for months. Such things have bappened before and may happen again. aptain Festetics is said to be a good navigator, but he knows very little about bandling a sailing vessel and stiil less about handling a crew. Nor doeshe know anything about the islands he would be compelled to sail near. Many of them are inhabited by people who are not far from savages and a captain who knows his busi- ness would not go near them. There are many other dangers to be calculated on besides the dangers of the sea. Ever since the Tolna has been in charge of Count Festetics she has been in trouble of some kind. She was atfached for many bills before she left this port over two years ago, and numbers of the crew de- serted because they were not being prop- erly fed. When she did get away she was poorly manned, although the sailing- master was a man who knew his business. It took her nearly two months to reach Honolulu and then al! her good men left and a crew of natives were shipped. The Count assuming full command. There was trouble between captain and crew most of the time, and at Sydney it was almost impossible to obtain a crew of even the poorest men. Captain Festetics is said to be very over- bearing toward the crew, and it isnot with- out the realms of possibility that a mutiny broke out in some deserted part of the ocean and the end of the cruise will never be to!d.
