4 l ] THE AGITATION FOR SAN PEDRO, Increasing Interest in the Deep-Sea Harbor Fight. POWERFUL ARGUME TS A Railroad From Salt Lake to Los Angeles Is Assured. | PEOPLE ARE SET TO THINKING Was and Huntington’s Mass - Meeting Packed With Emp’oyes Santa Monicans. LOS ANGELES, Car., Aprii 9.—Interest in the harbor question has in no wise sub- sided since the outpouring at last nigh mass-meetings. The agitation has deve oped to a large extent into the thrashi over of old straw. Public sentiment, ho! ever, remains as it was from the begifining —almost unanimous in * favor of San Pedro—not that they love nta Monica X but that they lc a harbor to which all railroads can have access. A powerful argument in favor of San Pedro is that work on a deep-ses harbor there means the construction of another transcontinental line. At the free-harbor mass-meeting last night Hon. T. E. Gibbon, vice-president of the Terminal Railway, promised that with- in twelve months from to-day, if an ap- | propriation was made for a deep-sea harbor at San Pedro, work would be com- menced on a railroad from Salt Lake to Los Angeles. He said he made this promise authoritatively and in good faith. The vast majority of people here believe that the ultimate buildinz of the Salt | Lake road depends upon improved harbor facilities at San Pedro, hence their opposi- tion to Huntington’s scheme to induce the Government to build the harbor at Santa Monica, thus practically excluding all roads but the Southern Pacific; from its benefits. Another thing that has set the people to thinking is the alleged control that Hunt- ington has secured of the Atlantic and Pa thus shutting the Santa Fe's sys- tem out of Southern California and plac- ing this end of the State as completely the power of the Southern Pacific monopoly as Norther, nia now Itis for potent re; these that the people of Los Angeles spurn an appro- priation for Santa Monica if it is to be se- | cured at the price crificing the chances | of San Pedro to obtain an appropriation » harbor, which would be the in- e resalt. Much comment has been occasioned by the fact that the mass-meeting at Illinois d with Southern nload of Santa s meeti st night was pack employes Monicans. The atten has been estimated a of fact the hall’s seating 800. It is true thata go a a matter nly people from Sau Pedro and Long Beach were at the free-harbor outdoor mass-meeting, but the of the throng, which | numbs 000, was made up of tax- | WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS. Mass Convention Closed With an Ad- dress by Rev. Anna Ahaw. LOS ANGELES, CaL., April 9.—The Los Angeles County Woman suffrage mass- convention, held under the auspices of the constitutional campaign committee of the Californmta Woman Suffrage Association, closed this evening with an address by Rev. Anna H. Shaw, who delivered one of her characteristic discourses on her favor- ite topic. Music Hall was crowded with members of both sexes, who epplauded the points scored by the speaker at frequent inter- vals. During the two days’ session of the con- vention addresses were made by Mrs. Mila T. Maynard, Miss Elizabeth U. Yates of Maine, Mary G. Hay and others. Papers were read by Dr. Kate C. Moody on “The Professional Woman's Need of the Ballot,” Eliza Tupper Wilkes on “The Ballot for the Wife and Mother” and Mrs. Caroline Severance on “Does the State Neea Woman’s Ballot?” Mary G. Hay enlightened the conven- tion on the practical work of campaign of woman suffrage in the State. The cus- tomary resolutions common to such con- ventions were passed, and the delibera- tions came to an end with the general feeling on the part of those who partici- pated that the cause of woman suffrage was materially advanced by the actions of these earnest work OREGON CONVENTIONS, Republican and Democratic State Delegates Convene at Portland.

The business of the convention is to elect four Presidential electors, State and district officers, except Congressmen, and four delegates to the National Convention, over which there will be a lively contest.

PORTLAND, Or., April 9.—The State Democratic Convention was called to or- der at 11 o’clock. P. H. Darcey of Salem was elected temporary chairman. Committees on credentials, order of business and resolutions were appointed, and an adjournment taken till 2 . M. Free silver and plenty of it seems to be the shibboleth of the convention to-day. | At a caucus it is understood it was deter- mined to ignore all aspirants for favors who did not unqualifiedly subscribe to the | 16 to 1 articles of faith. By a vote of 150 to 90 the delegates to the State Democratic convention this afternoon got a free-silver plank in the | platform adoptea.

Six of the delegates pledged for free silver voted for Benton Killin, one | of the mest pronounced sound-money men in the convention.

Board of Health Instructs Dr. Chalmers to Watch the Steamer Gaelic. The danger of contagion from the plague, which is believed to be on board the Pacific Mail steamer Gaelic, was the subject of discussion at a special meeting of the Board of Health held yesterday morning. The Gaelic is due in this port from Hong- kong, via Yokohama and Honolulu, on the 18th inst. and the local health author- ities have been warned to be on the look- out for her as a Chinese passenger from Hongkong who left the vessel at Yoko- hama died the next day of the dread scourge. Dr. Morse moved that Dr. Chalmers, the quarantine officer, be vested with author- ity to detain the Gaelic if any wsuspicious si ns were found aboard of her and the motion was carried unanimously. The committee that had been intrusted with the investigation of the charges against Milk Inspector Dockery reported that there was nothing in the accusation and Mr. Dockery was exonerated. M'RAE IN COURT. The Preliminary Examination of Trade’s Assailant Concluded. The preliminary examination of J. D. McRae, charged: with assault to murder Peter Trade in a building on Post street, near Larkin, on March 10, was concluded before Judge Low vesterday afternoon. Four witnesses for the defense, William Storm, A. Nichols, T. Devilliers and W. Pettee, all testified that McRae was not in the room at the time Trade was assaulted, and could not therefore bave struck him with a hatchet-handle. The prosecuting attorneys in the argu- ment attempted to show that there was a conspiracy to assault Trade and the other men at work with him, but Attorney Gal- lagher for the defense contended that nothing had been brought out in the evi- dence to warrant such an assumption and there was not a particle of evidence that between iwo factions of the Multnomah delegation which took up the entire after- noon in having a hearing before the credentials committe. The convention adjourned to-night until to-morrow with- out making any nominations. Late this evening a compromise was ef- fected, as in the Congressiona! Convention yesterday, by the credentials committee making the suggestion to seat both dele- gations—one representing the Carey fac- tion and the other Joseph Simon. The committee were five for seating Simon, one McRae was guilty of the charge made against him. The Judge said he would reserve his de- cision till to-day. S . Union Musicians. A meeting of the Musicians’ Union was held yesterday and it was decided to re- main in the San Francisco Trades Council and not affiliate with the Labor Alliance.

Innocent-Looking Envelopes That Often Change the Situation. SAN JOSE'S BUSY CITIZENS. Arranzing a Maznificent Programme. The Rivalry Amcng Chico’s Pretty Girls. SANTA ROSA, Car, April 9.—The queen contest now begins to grcw interest- ing. Lust night the two fair rivals for car- nival honors were even for some time, till a $5 note added 100 to the score of Mrs, Burris. The next envelope was for the lady from the 1edwoods, Miss Jessica Kloppenburg, and added 40 for that popu- lar candidate. The last message in the box was an innocent-looking carnival en- velope, on which the two little bears | seemed to be struggling to hide the pov- | erty of its contents, but the ten-dollar gold ‘picco that rolled out for Miss Sara Hall surprised Chairman Lewis of the counting | committee exceedingly and placed Miss | Hall 100 to the good. To-night some of the most influential citizens in town elbowed their way irnto | the store of C. A. Wright & Co. to see the votes counted. Although there was no gold in the box there was a goodly num- ber of envelopes containing the white | metal, aggregating about 300 votes. By tens and twenties the votes were placed opposite the rival beauties’ names, and it was not until the last envelope was opened that it was definitely known that Mrs. Burris had again resumed the lead. This last compliment to Mrs. Burris was | a poor, lonely white two-bit piece, but the block of five votes represented by this | small coin turned the tide and leit the i last-named lady one vote in the lead. | The rumor of a big sack from the red- | woods still floats into town periodically, but causes no uneasiness to the Santa Rosa | candidates, who have implicit faith in the loyalty of the citizens of this city. But'a§20 piece would place tne lady from the lumber region right up with the leaders, and Cnarles Orr, late of Duncans Mills, claims to have the proceeds of 5000 pickets and numerous buniles of shakes to uphold the dignity of Occidental with, and Charles Rule, alsc of Duncans Mills, declares that the returns from the naxt consignment of butter from the Rule ranch wiil add to the score of the lady from the | land of big trees. o | | SAN JOSE’S ACTIVITY. | The Splendia Programme in Prepara- i tion for the Carnival. SAN JOSE, Car., April 9.—At a meet- ing of the executive committee of the Car- nival of Roses, held this evening, there were reports from a number of commit- tees and the arrangements for the great entertainment were found to be almost complete. Details of a splendid programme for the | entertainment of the visitors during the tour days of the carnival were reported. A committee was appointed to canvassthe | hotels, restaurants, lodging-houses and | livery stables of the city and learn the | names of all those who will furnish enter- | tainment and also those who will agree to | preserve tue regular rates. | " The names of all those who will not | agree to preserve the regular rates will also | be secured. It is the intention of the ex- | ecutive committee that the guests at the | carnival shall be protected from extortion. It was reported that a larze number of owners of fine rigs would furnish many elaborately decorated rigs for the parade. A resoiution of thanks was voted to C. | M. Shortridge for the publication of the carnival edition of the Mercury, and also for the hiberal donation of copies of that edition for the use of the executive com- mittee. It was expressed asthe sense of the committee that “the extensive circu- lation of tbis number of the Mercury throughout the country will matenally aid in bringing visitors to the carnival.”’ A report wasmade by the San Jose Turn Verein of entertainments to be given dur- ing carnival week by that organization. B g MANY ACRES OF FLOWERS. San Jose Is Growing Enough for All of the Carnivals. SAN JOSE, Car., April 9.—The many | acres planted to sweet-peas, marigolds | and roses throughout the country for car- nival purposes are in a flourishing con- dition, and it is now certain there will be plenty of flowers for decoration purposes during the great floral fete, The warm showers of the past mont! have proved of great benefit. The sweet-pea vines are well up and beginning 10 bloom. The vines wi?l continue in blossom for a number -of weeks and will be at their height during the carnival. A large area of marigolds has been planted and there will be an immense quantity of these briliiant oranged-hued flowers. They are just becinning to come in bloom. There wiil also be large quan- tities of marguerites, callas, geraniums, verbenas, locusts and popvies available for carnival purposes. Roses are blooming profusely and there promises to be an unstinted supply of the choicest varieties. CHICO PRETTY GIRLS. Many Brought to the Front Daily for Queen of May. CHICO, CaL., April The pretty young ladies of Chico are being brought to the front in the contest to decide the question as to who shall be the Queen of May on the occasion of the Mayday picnic. | The admirers of the several candidates | are working with a will to secure the. elec- | tion of their favorite, and each day votes in large numbers are finding their way into the several ballot-boxes. Up to the | prerent time Miss Frieda Junkans, a very | popular and bandsome young lady, leads the list by about 100 votes, her nearest | opponent being Miss Clara Cussick. | . From present indicgtions a large major- | ity of votes are being held back, Drepara- the contest. It is known that there arc a number of young women whose friends will attempt at least to secure the honor of | Queen of May, but as yet no ballots have | been cast for thew, and this naturally | k“tp. Miss Junkans’ friendson an anxious seat. Another feature that will tend to draw votes is the selection of two maids of honor for the ‘T\een. These positions, second onjy on Mayday to the queen herself, will tory to a grand rush toward the close of | be given to the two young ladies being in the second and third placeson the final count, Should the affair prove as popular as thought from the contest as appearances show™ to-night, many dollars will #dnd themselves in the funds of the picnic com- mittee, and the vote will reach in the neighborhood of thousands. Sunaset Telephones for St. Helena. ST. HELENA, CaL., April 9.—The Sun- set Telephone Company has a gang of men in town to-day installing a local telephone circuit. Almost all the business men of the town have taken a phone, which places them in direct communication with all towns on the company’s system. S g T Frightful Nitro- Glycerine Explosion, NANAIMO, B. C., April 9.—Five hun- dred pounds of nitro-glycerine being hauled from Northfield to Departure Bay exploded this afternoon, killing the team- ster and his two horses and shattering the wagon to fragments, DA AN OLD-TIME FEUD, The Present Troubie Precipitated by the Oregon Fishermen. SEATTLE, Wasn., April 9.—The troops that left hiere to-day will be stationed on Bakers Bay, near the mouth of the Colum- | bia River, the scene of the depreda- | tions, which began a week ago. They | were accompanied by Brigadier-General E. M. Carr, though in the field Captain Frank E. Adams will be in command. The detachment took rations for ten davs, For five or six years there has been more or less bad blood between the Orezon and Washington fishermen along the Columbia River, due chiefly to the difference in the fishing laws of the two States. The pres- ent trouble began by the Oregon men crossing the river in a’steamer and pulling up piles, sending to sea the valuable traps placed in Bakers Bay by the Wash- ington fishermen. COLUMBIA FISHERMEN, Their Turbulent Attitude Brings Out the Washington Militia. | It Is Thought the Cannerymen Will Finally Be Compellei to | ‘Weaken. | ASTORIA, Or., April 9.—The fishing season on the Columbia opens at mid- night. There is every evidence that no | fish will be caught and delivered to the cannerymen, at least te-morrow. Both sides are stiil keeping a bold front, but the all-day session of the cannerymen shows weakaess, Under instruction from McGraw, Gov- ernor of Washington, a company of militia is under arms on the Washington shore, opposite here, to protect traps on and near Sand Island. These traps are in the river where Government engineers have de- clared it part of the channel of the river. The fishermen laugh at the action of Governor McGraw, while a company of | regulars are stationed at Fort Canby, a few miles away. They say the Federal authorities are more likely to prevent traps from being used in their present position. | No immediate trouble is anticipated. DRILL OF CADETS. Competition for the Montgomery Medal Takes Place To-Night in the Pavilion, Itis exvected that the Mechanics’ Pa- vilion I be crowded to-night at the competitive drill of the various com- panies of the League of the Cross Cadets. The driil is for the Montgomery medal— | a highly prized trophy among the cadet corps of the Catholic temperance organi- zation—and great rivalry has existed for some time past as to which company would carry 1t off in triumph. The occasion will be made one of grand military display, as several prominent army and militia officers have promised to be present and to review the boys. Among the invited guests are the officers of th- Boys’ Brigade. A very attractive and entertaining per- formance is promised. TWG VERY LIVELY ROUNDS Van Buskirk and Choynski Box at the Olympic Athletic Club. Joseph Went Right in for Business. Only a Chosen Few Saw the Bout. Some of the members of the Olympic Club were treated last evening to a very interesting two-round bout between Joe Choynski (California’s favorite boxer)and M. Van Buskirk, the champion heavy- | weight boxer of the Olympic Club. Manager Kennedy arranged the meet- ing between the two big 'uns after he had promised Choynski that not more than a dozen people should witness it. 1t was about 9 r. M. when Van Buskirk entered the room generally used by the gun club annex, He was dressed in his best boxing clothes and looked every inch a fizhter. Everybody was anxious to see Choyn- ski, and when Joseph put in an appear- | ance in ring costutae those who had not | seen him before manifested surprise at his build. They expected to see a whonping big fel- low, with legs like a Trojan and a back similar to that of a prize bull. They were sadly disappointed, however, as Choynski carries rather slender nether limbs, but from his hips up he is a magnificent speci- men of the athlete. He showed by a some- what haggard face that he has been exer- cising for some time “on the quiet,” and needs only light exercise to fit him for a battle royal. Eddie Graney was referee:and time- keeper. He gave the orders to get ready, shake hands and proceed to business. Van Buskirk was taken by surprise | when Choynski went right in for business, There was no fiddling or tomfoolery about the set-to. g The men boxed two short rounds, which can be summed up in very few words. The Olympian made a very good stand, considering that he bad a master me- chanic belfi)re him, but Choynski, in the lanyuage of the ringster, “put it all over him,"” ard rights and lefts landed on Van Buskirk’s nose and body in plenty. . Choynski has impmvels7 wonderfully since his departure from this City, three years ago, He is now as quick as a flash, and uses both right and cieft alike. His foot work is also good, and there can be no gainsay- ing the fact that he carries heavy-weight | 500\‘1: which sound rather loud when they TOp on any particular spot. Van Buskirk, when compared with Sharkev, is slow, of courte, consequently it would be foolish for any person to draw a line on what Chovrski can do with his zext opponent by taking the bout of last evening as a criterion. MINING MEN IN SESSION The New Appropriation Bill Indorsed by the Executive Committee. CHANGES IN THE LANGUAGE. Five Hundred Dollars Appropriated to Maintain the Delegat on at Washington. The executive committee of the Califor- nia Mining Association met in special ses- sion at the Union League Club last night. The meeting was called for the purpose of taking action in relation to the mineral land appropriation bill now before the House of Representatives at Washington. It was unanimcusly decided to maintain the delegation at Washington and $500 was voted for expenses. | Tirey L. Ford wired from Washington the language of the proviso of the appro- priation bill, as follows: For the construction of restraining barriers for the protection of the Sacramento and Feather rivers in California, $250,000,such re- | straining barriers 1o be consiructed under the | direction of the Secreiary of War, in uccord- | ance with the recommendations of the “Cali- | fornia Debris Commission,” for the purpose | set forth in scetions 23, 24 and 25 of the act entitled ‘*An act to create the Calijornia Debris Commission and regulate hydrauifc mining in the State of California,” approved M 1, | 1893; provided the said sum shall be available | only on condition that the Legislature of the | State of California shall have appropriated at | least an equal sum for the purpose herein set | forth, to be expended in accordance with the recommendations of engineers of the United States Government.

Devlin’s proposed amend- ment was rejected. The delegation is afratd of | the proviso.” At White's suggestion the follow- | ing language was practically agreed upon by | the delegation: | “‘For the Construction of restraining barriers for the protection of the Sacramento and Feather rivers in California, 250,000, such re- | straining barriers to be constructed under the direction of the Secretary of War, in accord- | ance with the recommendations of the Califor- | nia Debris Commission.” | Devlin seems inclined to accept the action of the delegation, and my judgment is we should do so. TIREY L. FORD. Mr. Ford also sent the following tele- gram to President Neff. Upon mature deliberation am of the opinion our position concerning the language of the appropriation should depend on the legal con- struction of the proviso and the constitu- tionality of the State act. If the proviso is deemed perfectly safe we should stand by our guns, othierwise accept White's suggestion. TIREY L. FORD. The following telegram was sent to Mr. Ford last night: SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Avril 9, 1896. © Hon. Tirey L. Ford.

Shop ani Job Stewards Will Be Se- lected as the First Step in the Movement. Since the strike on the Parrott building has been so satisfactorily settled the Af- filiated Building Trades of this City has | decided to proceed with tne enforcement | of the working card. The working card | went into effect on April 1, but the attea- tion of the Building Trades Counci! being occupied with the Market-street trouble, the business agents and grievance com- mittee were unable to devote much atten- tion to the outside jobs. From now on every effort will be made to unionize the Citv and put the card into effective operation. It required two yvears in New York to | put the same system into operation, and Kansas City required almost as long, but since it went into effect in several of the | large Eastern cities it has proved a de- cided success. It is not expected that the | card will obtain complete recognition in Ban Francisco in a day or two, kut every | effort will be made to carry out the system and as speedily as vossible. | This was the principal subject of discus- sion at the meeting of the Building Trades Council last evening. It was brought up by several suggestions made by Business Agent Mclvor, after he and Agent Saun- ders had made their reports relative to the settlement of the Parrott building strike, which received tue approval of the coun- cil. His first suggestion was that shop stewards should be appointed in every shop and job stewards on every job in the City. The idea was favorably received and the officers of each affiliated union wiil be requested to direct all union men to select such stewards. The latter’s duty will be to examine the working cards of all journeymen and report all irregularities or grievances to the council or business agents. The method of selection and other details will be on tEhe line of similar systems in vogue in the ast. Anotber proposition decided upon was to unionize the shops and not the jobs. This is to prevent a contractor from carry- ing on work in one place with a union gang and running a non-union gang in some other part of the City or in his shop. This can be regulated when the shop stewards understand their duties, The secreiary was directed to notify all unions to see that all their members are provided with the council’'s working card to save annoyance and possibly to save strikes. On Tuesday evening, the 14th inst.,a mass-meeting of all the unions affiiated with the Building Trades Council will be held at 115 Turk street for the purpose of electing two business agents or walking delegates. Saunders and McIvor were ap- pointed by the council until the regular election could be held. Only members in good standing will be allowed to enter the Dall and vote. 5 Great preparations are being made for the carpenters’ picnic, which will be held at Sunset Park on the 26th inst. The pic- Eick;rs leave on the 8:45&. M. boat and go the narrow-gauge route. yAt the last mxeelrng of the Hod-carriers’ Union James Gillispie, William O’Donnell and Michael Dolan were selected as dele- ates to the Building Trades Council 'hey were seated last night. e - The branches of the Mississippi River have an aggregate length of 15,000 miles. | the leading locel bicycie-d | of advertsing stolen | them and avprehending the thieves, by | Company, | Cronin’s Dottie Di 121:123 Sansome S, Al Blue Signs Proprictors Oreson City Wookn Mills Ulholesale Manufacturers Lights and the New Want Smocth Pavements, Parkl Charter. ! Twenty-Nine Dealers Start a Board to | Co-ope-ate With the Mere ] chanis’ Association. | The San Francisco Cycle Board of Trade was organized last night in the Bicyclo- | rama, on Market street. Twenty-nine of lers were pres- ent at the adoption of a co tution and by-laws, and signed as original members. The objects of the new organization are to help the trade and the cyelers generally, primarily by obtaining better City pave- ments and incidentally by devising means wheels, recovering exposing fake advertising, and by co- operating with the League of American Wheelmen in general wheeling matters and with the Merchants’ sociation in the effort to obtain smooth pavements for this Cit The initiation fee was made $2, with ues 50 cents a month, in order that none of the smaller Jdealers might be discour- aged from affiliating, There are ninety-seven bicycle-dealers in the City. Meetings will be held once a month, and alarce part of the business will be per- formed by a board of directors, consisting of thirteen persons. | he preliminary committee on street | improvement reported as a result of its re- | cent investigations that it is not feasivle | to agitate the paving of Market street just at present, but that the attention of the | Cycle Board of Trade might well be turned toward the lighting of the park. J. 8. Conwell, Thomas Mullen, J. M. Brunnings,L. Devaney and James M. Ham- ilton discussed the report, and all agreed | that the firet feasiole step would be tolight | the park, the paving of Market street | being something that having baffled the efficient Merchants’ Association should be left to the new charter to make more easily | attainable. One idea offered for lighting the park was for all the bicycle-dealers, riders and liverymen in the City to contribute their pro rata share of the $12,000 necessary for the electric light plant. Brunnings him- self offered to start the dealers’ subscrip- tion with $100. After much discussion as to whether all | business should be done by the board asa | whole or by a board of directors, the con- | stitution was adopted and signed by the | following, the election of officers %eing‘ postponed for a future meeting: James Hamilton of Baker & Hamil- ton, Charles Watts of George W.
