BIG DEMAND FOR PLACES Young Sons of the Rich and Poor Already Seeking Information. IMPORTANT TO SAN FRANCISCO. The Government Will Soon Appoint a Commission to Divide the Now Desert Island. It is less than ten days since the Presi- dent signed the bill providing for a naval training school on Goat Island, vet since this action scores of mothers and fathers with sons within the required age have called on the Federal officers, anxious to know when the station would be formally opened. It is generally conceded that a naval training stetion at San Francisco will be of vast benefit to the Pacific Coast in general and this City in particular. Judge Mor- row, who really fathered the scheme, is greatly enthused over the school, and de- clares with much earnestness that it is the most important recognition yet accorded to California. “To Senator Perkins and Congressman Hilborn must be given the " credit for the training station,” he said yesteraay. ‘‘The Senator has been indefatigable in his ef- forts to secure the passage of the bill. He also worked very hard to secure an appro- priation of $100,000 with which to begin work on the buildings, but Senator Gor- man, who. as is well known, ‘killed’ two battleships, opposed the proposition and so the appropriation was temporarily de- feated. There is no question in my mind, however, but that the next Congress will authorize the construction of suitable buildings. ‘During my term in Congress I made an effort to establish such a school, but ves- sel-building was thought to be more im- portant at that time, so this matter was laced in the background. Since the resident signed'the bill authorizing the training school scores of people—the very best in the City—have made inquiries of me as to when the station would be opened. The lack of manufactories in this City makes an institution of the kind authorized by Congress particularly de- sirable. The boys will be well educated and, what is nearly as important, trained in such a way as to develop the physical man. “It may not be generally known, but there is only one training school in Amer- ica and thatis in Newport. I refer, of course, to sailors and boys. Annapolis is reserved exclusively for the training of ofticers, Heretofore the number of boys allowed in the navy has been 750—men and boys, 8000. Owing to the demand for sailors the attendance at Newport is only about 300 or 400 a year. The full limit of 750 will soon be reached, - however, and it is proposed that half be stationed hereand the balance at Newport. It is not impos- sible that in time the limit will be raised t0 1500. This will, of course, greatly in- crease the importance of the Goat Island station. “The department will, I suppose, ina few days appoint a board to select the site on Goat Island -for the training station. This board will consist of one army officer and two naval officers. When this is done, some of the ships composing the Pacific squadron will be set aside as a training- ship, ready to receive such boys as care to enlist. Of course, wher. the buildings are erected, proper exercise grounds will also be constructed. .. ““Boys between the ages of 14 and 17 will be allowed to enlist, and must serve until they arrive at the age of 21. The wages paid range from $9 to $21. In every par- ticular the training-ship becomes a man- -war, and is officered by commissioned d petty officers of the regular service. *‘In due time the public generally will be informed of all the conditions incident to enlistment, and I believe that the present year will witness more demands for places than the station can accommodate, until the buildings are erected. For all this we bave to thank Senator Perkins and Con- gressman Hilborn.” The establishing of a training-school on Goat Island forever does away with the aspirations of the Southern Pacific to se- cure a lease on this valuable property. They have made all sorts of propositions to the Government with a view of securing a foothold on theisland and some years 8go came Vvery near succeeding. LOUIS BRESSE’S ESTATE. His Brother Has Applied for Letters of Administration. The estate of Louis C. Bresse, late ad- ministrator of the estate of James G.

The Work of Raising the Sunken Ship Blairmore Was Begun Yesterday. The Wrecking Steamer Whitelaw Was Towed Out to the Spot and Divers at Once Began Dismantling the Hull. [Sketched by a “Call” artist.] RAISING THE BLAIRMORE Work on the Wreck Was Begun by the Underwriters Yesterday. WILL FIRST BE DISMANTLED. The Hull Will Then Be Floated by Means of Pontoons and Pumped Out. The work of raising the sunken British ship Blairmore has at last begun. The wrecking steamer Whitelaw was towed out to the scene of the disaster yesterday by the tug Sea Queen. Four sets of moor- ing lines were put out, and the Whitelaw’s crew is now hard at work. When the divers were sent down they found that it was impossible to work among the wreckage. The rigging of the sunken vessel has broken adrift and be- come twisted up into all kinds of snarls. In consequence the men could not move about, and the work of building three floats was at once begun. On these the men who handle the diving lines will be able to move around as the divers move from point to point of the ship. Very little work was doue yesterday. but this morning everybody will be fully engaged. The topmasts of the fore and main have snapped off, ana these will be first removed. Then the standing rigging will be cut away and sent up to the wrecker. Next the yards wiil be cut away, and lastly the masts will be taken out. Captain Whitelaw thinks that this work will take up about ten days, and then the real task will begin. Pontoons will be used and the same procedure will be fol- lowed as was used in the case of the City of New York. The latter, however, was hard and fast on the rocks, while the Blairmore is onty fast in the mud, and the wreckers expect to have no difficulty in raising her. “The tide here runs like a millrace,” said Captain Burns, the representative of the English underwriters, yesterday. “In consequence the divers wiil be restricted to so many hours a day in which they can WoOrk. “Their heaviest task will be in cutting away the standing rigging and removing the masts. Then they will fasten the lines around the hull and their work will be done. The underwriters are taking all the risks in the work of raising tae Blair- more and I think we will make a success of it.” The supposition is that when the Blair- more is placed on an even keel the ballast in her hold will shift back to its original position, and the bodies of the drowned sailors will thus be released and will float to the surface. A sharp lookout will be kept for the remains, and every precaution will be taken to keep them from drifting away, Sole oo ALONG THE FRONT. Narrow Escape of Chlef Engineer Thompson of the South Coast. Charley Thompson, the well-known and popular engineer of the steam schooner South Coast. had a narrow escape yester- day. The vessel ison the drydock for an overhauling, and Thompson was under the engines looking after some necessary repairs. He got jammed in some manner, and in his efforts to escape upset a can of oil. Hislamp also fell, and in a moment there was a blaze. Thompson was badly singed, but one of his firemen saved him. While the rescue work was going on the woodwork took tire and it looked for a few minutes as though the steamer would go. One of the fire-engine houses was notified and the fireboat was called out, but before either of them arrived on the scene all danger was over. Captain George Harvey, the efficient and popular master of one of the Shipowners’ and Merchants’ Towboat Company’s boats was a proud and happy man yesterday. It was he who managed the docking and undocking of the battleship Oregon, and the Union Iron Works sent him the follow- ing letter accompaniea by a substantial check. Our board thoroughly eppreciating the good manner in which you ndled the Oregon and also the straightfor ness and ability that you have shown in all cases in handlin ships at our works, beg to hand you herewitg a slight token of their regard. Wishing you good health and future happi- ness, we remain, THE UNION IRoN WORKS, By H. T. Scorr. The new cannery steamer Kodiak got away for Karluk last Friday night witn passengers and supplies. She is the last of the fleet and the salmon men will now have a rest until the season is over. The expectations are that the catch will be a big one. MR. BUNNER'S ILLNESS. His Wife Writes Here Giving All the Detaills of His Remarkable Case. Mrs. Bunner, wife of the editor of Puck, has written from their home a¢ Nutting, | N.J..to Dr. G. E. Sussdorff, telling him in detail of the condition of Mr. Bunner. She says he stood the journey from San Francisco well. He was very bright on his arrival at first, and managed to get downstairs two or three times, but the exertion caused a slight collapse. She employed Dr. Stillwell, and wauld have got Dr. Edson and his consumption rem- edy, but was afraid that would alarm Mr. Bunner. Dr. Stillwell made a careful ex- amination of his lungs and confirmed Dr. Sussdorff’s diagnosis in all particulars. ‘“The lesion 1s not very great,” said Mrs. Bunner, “but the mbercnfouis is general, and has been going on for some vears, and nothing can be done, or in Dr. Btillwell’s opinion could ever have been done, to avert the ultimate end. “They do mnot think he wili ever rally | enough to get up again. The cough has elmost entirely ceased, and he sleeps well, but the pulse is very rapid. He is still bright and hoFe'nl. but we have increased anxiety ourselves owing to the serious ill- ness of his mother in New York, who is so ill that we fear every moment may bring us news of her death. Mr. Bunner does not know of this.” Mrs. Bunner adds that Dr. Stillwell con- siders it wonderful that Mr. Bunner was able to get home &t all, and she and Dr. Stillwell are thankful for the care that was given him in San Francisco. Itisa very retty letter which Mrs. Bunner writes. Il"he ailing editor was at the Occidental here, as will be remembered. PACIFIC YACHT CLUB. It Will Open the Season Next Saturday at Sausalito. The Pacific Yacht Club will have its opening on the 9th inst., and it is ex- pected that many of the members and their friends will go over to the beautiful grounds of the club in the afternoon. Upon the arrival of the party at the club- house dancing will commence. Visiting the yachts and rowing will oceupy the afternoon. In the evening a large party will go over on a special tug, so that an ola-fashioned time at the Pacific Yacht Club is in store. The club is also procuring a number of moorings adjacent to the club wharf, so that yachts and launches, and aiso small boats, willjhave a good safe place to tie up at any time. There is more harmony among the yucht clubs this season than ever, umf they are all assisting each other in reviving the spirit of yachting and boating. FAIRMOUNT FEARS FIRE, Residents of the District Will Ask Supervisors for Protection. Streets That Are Badly in Need of Improvement Aftsr the Winter’s Rains. The Fairmount section of the Mission is making slow progress in the line of its im- provements. An occasional new house is seen going up; but like other localities the streets are in sad need of repairs. Market-street. extension, after years of neglect, is now getting a share of public attention by having two blocks, from Fifteenth street to Seventeenth, paved with bitumen. Seventeenth street, for two blocks east and west of Market street, is receiving similar treatment. Sixteenth street, from Market for two blocks on the vorth side, is about to be paved with bitumen, with granite curbing for the sidewalk. Similar 1mprovement is promised for Nineteenth strcet, as the curbing is being hauled for that street east of Castro. From that point out to Army street, the end of Castro, the street is in a deplorable con- dition. On botn sides of the carstracks the late heavy rains carried away the greater portion of the street, leaving the tracks high in the center. eople conducting business at the end of Castro street are complaining of lack of patronage since the electric-cars com- menced to run into the valley by Eigh- teenth street. The Twenty - second, Twenty-fourth and the Twenty-ninth- street cars go past the doors and the valley storekeepers feel the loss of trade. Hopes are entertained, however, that before long the Market-street Company will extend the Castro-street line from its junction with Army, along that street to iamond and then continue on that street over Castro Heights to Mission street. From Army itissaid that the line will be electric instead of cable. This will be the means of opening up a new residence section, the equal of which cannot be sur- passed within the limits of the City and County for climate and scenery. One of the many tLings for which the Fairmount Improvement Club has been asking is a fire engine for the valley. There is no engine nearer than Douglas and Twenty-first streets and Duncan be- tween Sanchez and Church streets. These, it is claimed, are too far away from the southern end of the Fairmount district, as was proved a few months ago when a house was burned to the ground on Chenery street before an engine or hose- cart arrived upon_the scene. To remedy this drawback the Supervisors will be asked to make provision in the next year's levy for the consiruction of a house and the equipment of a company, to be located on the rise of the hill about Thirtieth street, S0 as_to be near the Mission road and College Hill district.

CORTE MADERA TITLES, An Interesting Decision Regard- ing Them Just Ren- dered. MILL VALLEY LAND AFFECTED Nearing the End of a Lorg Suit Over Property Adjoining a Grant. A decision of the keenest in people of Mill Valley has down by the Supreme Court sion was rendered 1n a case titles to land in the Rancho Madera del Presidio. The land in question was st pposed to ba included ina grant from the Mexican (7 ernment in 1834 to Juan Reed. 4 for the grant was issued to tie Reed in 1885. Before the grant had Lewn survered and determined, the oues from whom the defendant, Gardner, and others purchased secured a tractof land from the Reed heirs which was supposed to be in the grant. The survey upon which the patent was issued was made in 1874 and by it the lands purchased were excluded from the grant. In the meantime the plaintiff had filed a homestead entry on the land in dispute, and when one of the holders under pur- chase from the Reed heirs mace applica- tion for purchase from the United Etutes, under an act which allows such a purchase by persons buying in good faith land not really but supposed to be included in a grant, the plaintiff successfully opposed the application for purchese. Then the plaintiff applied for a patent under his homestead entry and the Government granted it. Suit for possession was brought by Wormouth, and after one trial and an sp- peal the defendants filed an answer and cross-complaint in which the court was asked to declare that the plaintiff held the land in trust for them. The plaintiff demurred, and the demurrer was sus- tained, but the Supreme Court has re- versed this decision and has ordered that the demurrer be overruled with permis- sion to the plaintiff to answer the cross- complaint if he saw fit. In rendering its decision the Supreme Court says it is an established rule that whenever any patent is granted to a man under misapprehension by the United States, a court can, upon a hearing of the facts, decree that the land is held in trust for those to whom it rightfully belongs. (‘ominuinfi, the opinion says that the law provides that when persons in good faith purchase land of Mexican grants, which grants have subsequently been rejected, or when the lands purchased are excludea from the survey, and when the lands have been used and improved and continued in actual possession, and where no adverse title but that of the United States exists, then they have the right to purchase the lands from the Government at the mini mum price. Continuing the opinion saysit is evi- dent that F. Throckmorton, the appellant, was within the intention of this statute, for he had purchased the land in good faith, bad improved it, and was therefore entitled to avail himself of the statute. This decision is of the greatest interest to many of the residents of Mill Valley, for much of the :land in litigation liesin the most available portion of the valley. The decision just rendered points to a settlement of the case in favor of the pur- chasers from the Reid heirs. > Church Election.

Corner Tenth $. gnd Broadway, Oakland, CONVICT LABCR UNDER THE BAN. Prison Goods Should Not Be Sent From State to State. HURT HOME INDUSTRY. Manufacturers Take the First Step of an Important Movement. FREE LABOR CANNOT COMPETE. Julian Sonntag Has Been Chosen to Lay the Matter Before Governor Budd. The Manufacturers’ and Producers’ As- sociation, in forwarding s letter yesterday to the Board of State Prison Directors ask- ing that the tobacco manufactured by con- vict labor in tne Eastern and Southern States be not furnished to the prisoners in the State prisons, is the incipient step of a movement comparable in importance to the determined stand taken by that body a few mont oi Ja ures. many tobacco manuf: ort the leai tob tifornia mech free lebor serti law reguisiing the commerce between States, making it unlawful to import the result of convict labor from one State into another, and to this end a specially ap- pointed committee is quietly gathering data on the subject which will be used in their endeavor to cause this prohibiting clause inserted during the next session of the Legislature. To further insure the success of their plans they have asked Julian Sonntag, their former active mem- ber, that he lay the matter before the Gov- ernor with a view to ascertaining what measures should be taken to counteract this evil. Mr. Sonntag said yesterday: ‘‘The Man- ufacturers and Producers know that to- bacco from the penitentiaries of Southern States has been furnished to our State in- stitution; and not oniy this—they also know that carloads of furniture and har- ness have been received from these places by large firms of this City. In fact, the articles that are dumped into this State from Eastern and Southern prisons are al- most too numerous to mention. “The framing of a law prohibiting such traffic will prove a wonderful factor in the improvement of California industry. Itis right in tne line of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ work, and you may be sure they will push it to the bitter ens. “‘The association has asked me to take the matter before the Governor. I have cconsented to do this and will do my ut- most toward accomplishing their wish be- cause I consider it an exceedingly serious ml%e;. “Before I resigned from their body I had looked inio this matter conlidersybly and convinced myself that Japanese com- petition cannot equal it as a menace to our State’s prosperity. *I will explaint he matter to the Gover- nor and show hi mthe unjustness of com- pelling Califo rnis industry to compete with the penal labor of other States. No man who pays his employes for their hire can ever hove to comvete with prison labor. To abolish the traffic would be to Pmlour manufacturers on their proper evel. E “Anybody can see what the outcome of such a movement as this will be. Its re. sults for good will be incalculable. *'I have been told by bidders for prison sonds that it :has been the policy of the irectors to consider price first rather than quality. The sample-room idea has been entirely eliminated. This was the prac- tice that brought about. the introduction of inferior and convict-made goods within the State institution. ‘‘The magnitude of this though perhaps not generally known at present, will be fully demonstrated before the Manufacturers and Producers have finished their efforts.” ADULTERATED JELLIES.
