SECRETARY WALTHEW OUSTED Lieutenant-Commander Sturdy of the Cruiser Olympia Suspended for Two Years. The expected changes in the officers of the Ship-owners’ Association have taken place, and Secretary George Walthew, Shipping Master A, G. Way and Assistant Bhipping Master George Murphy are out in the cold. Walthew lays the blame for his dismis- sal at the door of the Pilots’ Association, but those who know the inside facts say that all three men lost their heads because they were constantly antagonizing the sallors and ship captains. Be that as it may, all three are gone, and it is said that Charles E. Naylorof Alameds will succeed ‘Walthew on the first of next month, and Captain John Sage and John Cain have al- ready taken tbe places of Way and Mur- phy. Walthew was very active in the movement started to reduce flilotage and he says he will still continue his agitation as & member of the comuittee on com- merce np{)oinied by the Chamber of Com- merce unless he is dismissed from that committee. The United States cruiser Philadelphia arrived from San Diego, via Monterey, yesterday. The run up from the seaside resort was made in ten hours. Admiral Beardslee has been a very sick man, but is now on the high road to recovery. The Philadelphia will go to Mare Island for an overhauling and while she is there some of her officers will serve as a trial boara in the battle-ship Oregon. News comes from the Asiatic squadron that Lieutenant-Commander Edward W. Sturdy of the cruiser Olympia has been court-martialed and suspended for two years and also ordered to lose ten numbers in his grade. The Navy Department pro- fesses to be ignorant of the matter, but it is confidently stated that full information of all the causes that led up to the court- martizal arrived here in black and white on the Doric and were at once forwarded to ‘Washington. Lieutenant - Commander Sturdy is well known in San Francisco. He has been here several times and last year was navigating officer of the Baiti- more. The next steamer from China will probably bring full particulars of the trouble. The new steam-launch for the light- house service at Gost Island is now in commission, and the children of Keeper Lennie come and go in it every night and morning, Before the new launch was built the youngsters, in order to get to schoo!, had to row themselves over in a small boat, and when the tide was against them it wes a long pull. Frequently they would have to head up the bay as far us the Mail dock in order to overcome the set of the tide that might otherwise carry them down as far us Alcatraz. Some years ago the Lighthouse Board had a launch called the Perriwinkle, and in it the children came to school One night the little craft mysteriously di: appeared, and from that day to this it has never been seen. The general impres- sion is that it was stolen, and after being altered and repainted was put into com- mission again somewhere along the coast. Work on the Blairmore progressod slowly yesterday. The broken tops have all been cut away from the masts, but it will take a long time to remove the stand- ing rigging., As soon as the divers accom- plish this job and the masts are removed Wrecker Whitelaw things it will not take long to raise the hull, The Merchants’ drydock was moved from Spear street to Little Main street yesterday by the tug Sea Witch. It did not take long to get the unwieldy affair into position, and to-day it will be ready to take on ships again. ‘The tug Reliance has her old propeller on again and will go into commission to- day. The new patent auger-shaped pro- veller that was fitted on her proved to be a failure, so John D. Spreckels ordered it removed and the old one replaced. Bill Waffeis, the old-time boatman, had 8 narrow escape yesterday. He took a boatload of provisions out to the cruiser Ppiladelpbia. While alongside the man- of-war some one threw an empty beef barrel out through a chute. It knocked Waffels overboard, smashed one of his oars, broke off two of the rowlocks and started two of the planks in the boat. The provisions were got out in a hurry and Bill’'s boat was patched up, and he finally reached the wharf again. No one offered to pay the old man for the aamage to his boal Trade with the Amoor River is growing and more vessels have sailed from here for Russian territory than ever before in the history of the port. The Wilna is now loading at Mission-street wharf and she will take away 1700 tons of flour, besides a large consignment of salt and beef in barrels. The owners of the schooner Chetco now think they will be able to save the vessel. The crew arrived here yesterday, and as the result of their report the managing owner has decided to float her off, load her with lumber and tow her to San Fran- cisco. The Chetco was on her way up the coast when she ran on a sunken rock, and in order to save the vessel Captain Olstin beached ber near Crescent City. As soon as she is patched up and loaced the steam schooner Cleone will bring her down. The British ship Ross-shire, that left here about two months ago with a cargo of wheat, was on fire in Sydney harbor yesterday. The fire was put out, but the extent of the damage has not yet been ascertained. Consul Merry of Nicaragua has received word that the port of Corinto is now open for shipping. Some time ago it was in the hands of the rebels, and no steamers or sailing craft were allowed to enter. In consequence an immense quantity of freight accumulated at Panama, and the ogeninfifiof the port will be joyful news to the Pacific Mail Company. UTAH FREIGHT RATES. The Trans-Missouri Association Will ‘Wrestle With Them. A meeting of the Trans-Missouri Associ- ation has been called for the 21st inst. in Deaver, and as the principal business be- fore it will be a consideration of the con- Hlicting east and west bound distributing freight rates in Utah the meeting will be of interest to San Francisco wholesale merchants. As tola at length in THE CALL of Sunday the trans-Missouri lines which are inter- ested in seeing Utah supplied with com- mercial commodities from the East in- stead of the West have imposed high local rates on freight distributed from Utah terminals when it is shipped from the Pacific Coast. This discrimination prohibits San Francisco, competition at many Utah points. The merchants of Utah are up in arms, and the Southern Pacific is, too. The Southern Pacific is not a member of the Trans-Missouri Associa- tion and is not controlled by it, but the company has been invited to and will have a represeniative at the meeting, when an effort will be made to straighten out the present trouble. —_————— Ex-Judge Toohy’s Notes.

The Republican Leader Intends In- augurating a Series of Salary Reductions. When Frank M. Whitney, now on a| short visit to this City, was elected Mayor of Santa Barbara a few weeks ago the 400 were agreeably surprised, as Mr. Whit- ney’s public career and aspirations had long been confined to leadership in society events, while J. T. Johnson, a most for- midable political opponent, had made an enviable record through many years as Auditor. There were three candidates, and all Re- publicans; for by a sign of the times no Democrats avowed themselves this year. The contest that resulted was unusunally exciting, and remarkable also for the large vote polled. The fight proper was between Whitney and Johnson, but the third man, Colonel J. L. Fernandez, had considerable sup- port, given partly perhaps through re- spect for his long persistence as a candi- date for the office and partly because of nis frequent appearance in full regi- mentals and his ready eloquence on street | corners. Some said that the handsome colonel itself is two miles in length and paved with bitumen."’ Santa Barbara’s new Mayor is a tall straight, athletic looking man, apparently about 35 years of age. CUSTOM-HOUSE SCANDAL. Quong Ah Him Deposed and Another Chinese Appointed in His Place. The arrest of Wong Sam Saturday night on a charge of forgery revives the Custom- house scandal in which Williams, the in- spector, is the central figure. Wong claims that he is being persecuted by the in- spector whose trial comes up to-day. On the other hand the friends of the latter urge that the Chinese is the author of the anonymous letlers received from Los Angeles and elsewhere, reflecting on Williams. The court interpreter from Los Angeles has been in the City for several days and is said to have given damaging evidence against Wong Sam. Coilector Wise seems to be having a great deal of trouble with his Chinese in- terpreters. Last week he appointed %long Ah Him to succeed the suspended Louie Quong. Yesterday Ah Him was disposed of and Ah Ging appointed in his stead. No reason was assigned for this except that the Collector had a right to do as he pleased. ——————— DUTTON WANTS JURY FEES. One of the Durrant Jurors to Test the New Law. 8. E. Dutton, one of the jurors who tried Durrant, has filed a suit which will test one of the important changes in the law made by the last Legislature. The act under which he is suing was | approved March 1875, and provides illmt jurors in criminal cases should be allowed the same compensation, $2 a day, | as jurors in civil cases. The law states that *‘for attending as a Grand Juror or juror in the Superior Court, for each day’s attendance” they shall teceive $2. Heretofore only jurors called in civil y Frank M. Whitney, Santa Barbara’s Socicty Leader and New Republican Mayox had never been in the army because his name and that of his regiment could not be found on the records. But he declared that he was the victim of a clerical omis- sion, and that settled it. His name, with the cherished title prefixed, continued conspicuously upon the front of his small carpenter-shop and upon the sides of his canvas-covered vegetable wagon; for the colonel is versed in morearts than those of war and politics. By a strange coincidence the Mayor that was not and the Mayor that is happen to be in San Francisco at the same time. One, still arrayed in all the glory ofa G. A. R. uniform, has just returned from a visit to the Santa Rosa flower show, but neither is aware of the proximity of his recent rival. It is Mayor Whitney’s intention to vocate several radical chaaees in city af- fairs. “T have already,” said he when seen at | the Pleasanton yesterday, ‘‘declared in favor of the reduction of the salaries of all the city officials appointed by the Council. Of the five Councilmen four were re-elect- ed, so I can hardly look for the co-opera- tion of men in sympathy with the old regime. Anotherthing that I have favored is the establishment of a system for sprink- ling the streets with sea water. I have estimated that an exf»enmmre of $20,000, perhaps $15,000, would be ample for the purpose. "'Fge limited water supply haslong been the great problem in Santa Barbara. Be- cause of it dusty streets, the only dis- agreeable feature of the summer months, have haa to remain so. . *‘Just now the city is spending $10,000 in an experiment in Coe Canyon, near Mon- tecito, in hopes of striking a big supply of water. A tunnel is being run into a'hill and already at a distance of about 300 feet a tlow of 54 inches of water has been ob- tained. It1s the intention to drill in 1000 feet and with the same success a flow of 15 to 20 inches is expected. The present muni- cipal water supply from Mission Canyon is probably not over 10 inches, though a good deal of water goes to waste because of inadequate reservoirs. “The most important matter engaging the attention of the public at present is the approaching completion of the boulevard cases were allowed compensation, those in criminal cases sat for glory only. Now, however, Dutton intends to see if he can- not get full pay for thirty-eight days at- tendance as a trier of Durrant. In his complaint Dutton says he served as a juror from late in August, 1895, to November of the same year, in all thirty- eight days, making & total due him of §76. He says he applied to the Supervisors on Avpril 6, 1896, and they refused his claim, 80 now he is suing for his money. —————— RAILROAD EMPLOYES, Annual Meeting of the Southern Pacific Mutual Benefit Association. The Southern Pacific Employes’ Mutunal Benefit Association held a pleasant annual meeting in the yellow building yesterday, electing the same officers and making two or three amendments to the constitution, E. B. Ryan presided over the 100 em- ployes and 425 proxies which represented the membership of 843. The year gave a net increase of seven in membership. It was decided that, instead of electing nine directors every vear hereafter, three of those elected yesterday should go out of office in one year, three in two years and three in three years, making the election of but three directors necessary annually hereafter. In fature a member who gets a new member who stays in six months will get a commission of $2. The following directors were re-elected : E. B. Ryan, W. G. Curtis, J. E. Foulds, H. R. Judah, A. D. Shepard, 8. B. Doane, J. N. Sherburne and B. A. Worthington., G. T. Klink was substituted for Charles Har- lan, resigned. The directors re-elected E. Ryan president; W. G.

MR. VINING’'S PLAN A FAILURE. The Attempt to Stop the Traffic Only Increases Public Interest in the Boys. “Dey can’t get de best o’ de boys,” said “Blokey” Rhodes, the newsboy, when he was asked yesterday about the working of the new transfer system. He referred to the Market-street Rail- way Company and to the transfer agents, the car conductors, the policemen and the spotters. He spoke with confidence and likewise with contempt. Nobody has ever been known to get the best of the boys who make up the class that “Blokey’’ represented, but Manager Vining is still laboring 1n his effort to accomplisi the impossible. “‘Blokey’’ stopped to sell a paper and give away a transfer, which transfer bad been given to him, and then he continued his philosophical declaration. He spoke for all the newsboys—for the little fellow who is lame, for the colored boy who has to help support his mother, for the boy whose parents are dead, and for all the other youngsters who make up the enter- prising community of boys in business about the corner of Market and Powell streets, “It’s all right,” he said. ‘‘De company wants to take away from us boys what de people dat rides are willin’ to give us, so it pays two more salaries 10 keep de trans- fer agents at work on de corner. Dat’s good for de two men and itdon’t make no differ- ence to us. De company is just playin’ for a bluff. It tinks we won't dare to run up alongside o’ de transfer men in uni- form. And dey have cops around all de time, too. “When a man comes along on de Mar- ket street or Powell street corner and wants a transfer at de Baldwin Hotel cor- ner, he asks de conductor for a transfer ticket. De ticket dat he getsisno good on de cer he wants to take, bui he has to go up with it and brace de transfer. man for a new check, see? Dey put de man to a lot o’ trouble after he has paid his nickel, an’ you bet he don’t like it. Dis second check, de one he gets from de feller in' de new uniform, is de one dat's good fora ride on de second line. “De company figgers dat people who get transfers ain’t goin’ to take de trouble of exchanging 'em on de street corner for de sake of givin’ de negotiable checks to us boys, but dat’s where dey’re playin’ right intous. A man who's put to so much trouble once, ’specially if he’s in a .hurry, don’t forget it right away. They gets mad over it, and once in a while they’re just boilin’ at decompany. Den de nex’ time dey come along dey get de usual transfer an’ exchange it at de corner, and give it to me or one o' de boys. ““A good many of ’em do it now just be- canse dey’re mad abont de whole business. but still we've all got lots o’ friends who give us transfers when dey change deir minds about usin’ 'em. “De people look at it this way: When dey pay de money dey’re entitled to a cer- tain amount o’ travelin’; an’ if dey want to give away a part o' what’s deir right dey don’t suppose it’s nobody else’s busi- ness. ““We get more transfers now dan weever did before, an’ besides, de ticket is good all day long. Dey don’t bave time to punch de checks under de new style. An’ even if people don’t stop to exchange de checks dey give 'em to us and we make out to get'em changed all right. We're still ahead o’ de gawne, an’ I guess we're goin’ to stay right wid 'em.”” One of the newsboys claimed to have re- ceived and disposed of ten transfer checks yesterday afternoon, and he was still doing busipess at the old stand. The transfer agents were too busy with their rush of business to notice who gave or received the checks, and the policemen seemed to have grown naturally tired of the whole performance. THE BARBERS COMBINING. They Will Soon Form a Strong Central Executive Council. The barbers' unions of this City are about to form a central council on the principle of the Building Trades Council, for the elevation and uplifting of the craft. At the last meeting of the Barbers’ As- sociation of San Francisco, the Barbers’ Association of California and the Barbers’ Protective Association, committees of three were selectea from each to perfect a plan of affiliation. Last evening the first- named organization met and F. Hodges presided. The joint committee was pres- ent and reported progress. The name suggested for the affiliation is the Execu- tive Council of the Barbers’ Associations of San Francisco. At arecent meeting of the joint com- mittees it was decided to recommend that the council become regularly organized with password, rules, regulaiions, ete. Also that the same password be used for admission to all of the unions in the craft. It was further recommended that July 1 be selected as the date upon which all barber-shops must be closed at 8 p. & on all weekdays, except Saturdays. These recommendations will no doubt be adopted. It was decided that later in this month a mass-meeting of -all the barbers’ unions, to which all other trades unions will be invited, will be held for the pupose of dis- cussing ways and means for building up unionism in the craft. At the meeting last evening there was a general shaking upin the union. It seems Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. there were a large number of members who are in arrears in the payment of their dues. After a little argument it was de- cided to suspend all not'in good standing, and ninety-one names were placed on the list. This left 112in good standing. The union is determined not to stand any non- sense with its derelict members. ONLY COAST PRODUCTS. Eastern Articles Declared Undesirable for the Coming Exhibition of Home Products. The joint committee from the Me- chanics’ Institute and the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Association, recently ap- pointed to discuss matters pertinent to the proposed exhibition of home indus- trial products, held a meeting in the chambers of the latter association yester- day afternoon. The main question discussed was the ad- visability of having the exhibition consist of Pacific Coast productssolely. ‘Thecom- mittee from the Institute, composed of Oscar Lewis and E. A. Denicke, favored the introduction of such articles of East- ern production as were not manufactured on this coast. The gentlemen represent- ing the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ As- sociation maintained that the exhibition of any articles not strictly of coast pro- duction would tend to raisea doubt in the minds of some as to the origin of articles which were produced here. This view finally prevailed and Messrs. Lewis and Denicke agreed to put the matter before the directors of the Institute in that light. A question of the division of receipts was raised, and the association consented to the proposition to accept the receipts, less $10,000, to go to the Institute. The association was represented in the meeting by J. W. Kerr, A. Sbarboro, A. McLaugh- lin, L. H. Tacy, manager, and Fred H. Dingle, assistant secretary. This_afternoon at 3 o’clock there will be a meeting of the board of directors of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Associa- tion to discuss the litigation with wnich the Harbor Commissioners are_threatened on account of their having given prefer- ence to California stone in awarding the contract for the construction of the new ferry depot.
