HAVE BEEN PATCHED UP Will Convey the Liquid From Southern Ports to Passing Steamers. DEPARTURE OF THE MONOWAIL Lick Astronomers Leave on the B:lgic to Observe the Eclipse of the Sun. Some remains of the wrecked steamer City of New York are at last to be put to use. When the vessel went on tche rocks at Point Bonita years ago no one ever thought she would be a total wreck. As it was she broke in twain and was given over to the .wreckers. In the at- tempt to save the machinery Whitelasw lost the Samson and later on the wreck- ing steamer Whitelaw went ashore and became a total loss. Since then he has built another wrecker and another wreck- ing steamer. Both these are mow in use raising the Blairmore. Before the old Whitelaw was lost she bad recovered from the rocks off Point Bonita the machinery and boilers of the New York. These were brought ashore and lay for months on section 3 of the. seawall. Latterly the boilers found a purchaser, and now they are t> be used as oil.tanks to carry crude petroleum between Baja and Alta Caltornia. The longest tank is forty-two feet long and nine feet in diameter. it holds 2500 gallons of oil. The smaller tank holds about 1600 gallons, ana is forty feet long and seven feet in diameter. They are now lying on Howard-street wharf, and to- morrow they will be placed on the lighter and taken to Lower California. Besiaes the tanks there will be two long square boilers that were purchased at the last Mare Island sale. These will hold 1400 gallons, and are made out of old lates that were bought from Uncle Sam. E{nlfadozen boilers supplied the plates, as scme of the tanks purchased were use- less barring a few plates, and these latter were used and the worn out ones discarded The steamer Monowai sailed for Austra- lian ports last night.

HAWKINS' GAME FIGHT His Style Better, but He Was Not So Strong a Fighter. THE REFEREE HIT BY KVLLY. | Danny Mahoney and Joe Sullivan Put Up Six Rounds to a Draw. The Shannon benefit at the People's Pal- | ace last evening opened with a six-round | contest between Danny Mahoney and Joe Sullivan. According to the fistic bill of fare the referee was to give a decision “‘on points,” but when the bout came to an end Henry Peppers, who was selected to referee the match, stated that the contest- Richardson, Mrs. Tomes, E.

Spencer and wife, S. A. Steane, Miss Amelia Stone, Mrs. n Street, Paul Sylow, R. W. Travers, L. M. Isitt. Joins at Honolulu for Sydney—W. 5. Goodlet. Among the above were R. Cowes, the well-known and popular chief stewara of the Mariposa. He has been here on a vacation, and may rejoin his ship at Hono- lulu. He is a general favorite with the traveling public and is an old stand-by in the Spreckels line. H. D. Bell and George Hutchinson are members of the New Zea- land Legislature, who bave been looking into the way business is done in. the United States. Judging from what they said on the Mariposa yesterday, the New Zealand Government will not go in for free trade next year if they have any say in the matter. . The “Trip to Chinatown’’ Company filled the whole ship. Harry Conor and Julian Mitchell and his wife and all the other members of the company were there, and hundreds of people were down to see them off. The vessel wes late in getting away, so that some of the actors engaged at the local theaters were late in reaching their respective engagements. Frank Barton, the man who is beating his way around the world in a wagon, suc- ceeded in getting a passage. Captan Carey at first refused to have anything to do with him, but when the circumstances were explained to him he put Frank to work in the steward’s department, but the chances are that he will not have much to do during the trip. ‘I'he Occidental and Oriental Steamship Company’s Belgic sailed for Hongkong via Yokohama yesterday. Among the cabin passeng-1s were Professor Schaeberle of the Lick Observatory, Charles Burckhalter of the Chabot Observatory, Louis G. Mar- tin of San Francisco and "Dr. A. G. Shuey of Oakland. They are en route for Japan, where it is hoped a number of photographs of the forthcoming solar eclipse will be taken. The necessary money to defray the expenses has been furnished by Charles F. Crocker,and with the experience gained by past efforts it is expected that this ven- ture will return excellent results. Lombard-street wharf attracted an enor- mous crowd yesterday. About 300 men were landed from the croiser Philadelphia, and for over an hour were put through general ‘‘shore’’ exercises. The men will take place in the Memorial day exercises to-morrow, and Admiral Beardslee wants to havethem perfect on that occasion. The crviser’s band was present at the evolu- tions, and the men, one and all, acted like veterans. The Alaska Commercial Association’s Bertha arrived here from Kadiak and Cooks Inlet yesterday. She had an un- eventful voyage and brought no later news than Captain Hayes telegraphed from Port Townsend last week. The work of raising the Blairmore is slowly progressing. Nearly all the pre- liminary arrangements for the first at- tempt have been made, but some of the top-hamper is still in the way, and it may be several days before the actual work of raising the vessel will begin. If success- ful at the first venture Captain Whitelaw will be a very proud and happy man. The Monterey Celebration. Secretary J. A. Filcher of the State Board of Trade has written President E. B. Willis of the California Press Association suggesting that circular letters be sent ail over the State re- | that, if both men were fighting at the ter- mination of the sixth round, the contest should be declared a draw. Mahoney had unquestionably the best of the argument in every round, but Peppers, acting under instructions, called the match a draw. The event of the evening followed this. It was an eight-round contest between Owen Ziegler of Philadelphia and Dal Hawkins of S8an Francisco. After Sergeant Burdsell examined and weighed the mittens the fight went on. Hawkins was esquired by Tim McGrath and “‘Spider”” Kelly. His opponent, Zieg- ler, was looked after by George Allen of Chicago, H. Kennedy of Philadelphia and Frank Hartof New York. The referee selected was Ed Homan, but as that distinguished sporting man and retired champion boxer had some impor- tant business downtown and did not ar- rive in due time, Jimmy Carroll, the pop- ular light-weight boxer, was chosen. It was 11 o’clock when the event of the evening was called. Ziegler appeared in splendid trim. He weighed 138 pounds {and his opponent, Hawkins, tipped the scales at 131 pounds. Ziegler looked much larger than the San Francisco lad and was certainly more powerful. When the boxers toed the scratch it could be seen at a glance that the Phila- delphian meant business. He did not de- lay in fiddling and prospecting for the un- guarded syous of his antagonist, but sailed right 1n for business. 'fhfi first rush he made at Hawkins gave the latter a sur- prise. In the language of the sports Haw- kins found that he was up against hard game. Ziegler made a desperate attempt to break Hawkins’ neck by swinging his big right fist at Hawkins’ left ear. The latter cleverly ducked ‘‘the duke,” but was sent to his knees the next instant by a smush | on the shoulder. Ziegler sent out a very fast and wicked pace, but several of his blows missed Hawkins and spent them- selves on the smoky atmosphere. Dal very fortunately for himself got away from right and left swings any of which would have sent him to dreamland had they landed on the ‘killing” spot. Ziegler's wild rushes were checked tow- ard the end of the round, when Hawkins took immediate advantage of & good open- ing and sent the rushing Eastener into the ropes with & right o . the jaw which was a little bit too high to bring flattering results to the puncher. Zeigler was up in a jiffy, aud although he landed several stiff punches on Haw- kins’ face and body the latter stood the rusling and retired to his corner when gime was called wondering what would come next. The round was short about thirty seconds of the actual time—three minutes, In the second round Ziegler dashed at his game like a wild bull, and in his awkward way actually flung right and left handers at liitle verybody ex- pected to see Hawkins’ head rill off the stage, but in this they were disappointed. Ziegler's blows frequently fell short, but the ones that landed made Hawkins look decidedly scase. The clever San Franciscan puzzled Zieg- ler by his quickness in getting away from blows which would certainly have ended themill had any of them struck the right spot. Hawkins frequently stop Ziegler with good straight leits and an occa- sional right on the neck, which the “hurricane” of Philadelphia did not iancy. In the third round Hawkins staggered Ziegler with a back-hander on the chin, but Ziegler returned the compliment soon afterwards with a left-hand swing which uesting that each county send & naiive dbughic 0 the celebration: aiso a block of sione 1o be placed in the motument. 7.

He claims he presented a proper iransfer, having duly re- ceived it in exchange for a check from the transfer agent. The Marketstreet conductor refused to_sccept the transfer and summarily put him off the car. — o ‘When You See To-day's News Letter you will be pleased, Tt is a cure for the bluesand will make you satisfied with the world. caught Hawkins in tke pit of the stomaci. Hawkins planted two hard siraight left- handers on Zeigler's nose just before the call of time. In the fourth round Ziegler rushed Hawkins to corner and landed three blows on Dal’s face, This was fol- lowed by a rally, in which Hawkins missed a wicked right at Ziegler's neck and reccived a 29" on the jaw, which staggered him. Ziegler rushed wildly at Hawkins and made desperate attempts to knock the San Franciscan out, but failed. Hawkins certainly had the short end of this round. Hawkins, to the surprise of the specta- tors, bad the best of the fifth round. Zieg- ler was pretty well exhausted from the wild attempts he made in the previous round to knock his opponent out, and Hawkins, after landing three telling left- handers oa Ziegler's face, got home one of his favorite righthanders on Ziegler’s jaw which sent the receiver staggering against the ropes. o Ziegler made several vain attempts to caich Hawkin's neck with wild swings, but fell short in each atiempt. The ronnd ended with wild cheers for Dal. Just before the call of time for the sixth round Jimmy Carroll, the referee, “smelt & mice,” and quickly stepped over to Ziegler's corner for the purpose of examin- ing hisgloves. % e found that the padding of the gloves wasremoved, and after arranging the mit- tens he cautioned Ziegler not to try the old game a second time. The referee did the same to Hawkins, and Bergeant Bird- seil told Carroll if any such funny business was tried a second time he would stop the contest. In the sixth round Hawkins was knocked down by a glancing blow. Ziegler, who was fighting with his usual wickedness, had the best of the round, as Hawkins at this point was growing rapidly weak. In the seventh and eighth rounds Zieg- ler landed most blows. Hawkins fought a very game battle, but he was handicapped in ‘weight and strength. His. style of fichting was much prettier than Ziegler's, but then the Philadelphian was the aggressor all through the finme, and as he landed the most lows throughout, the referee awarded him the match, which decision, notwithstand- | ing the protests of the friends of the game and clever Hawkins, was perfectly right and proper. When tlie referee was leaving the ring T Kelly rushed at him and smashed Carroll a right on the neck. It was a dastardly trick, and Kelly should have received the purishme..t he deserves by being placed in jail. Such conduct spoils the sport of fisticuffs. ALLOWED THREE PERMITS | Supervisors Take Full Charge of the Bexing Enter tainments. Two Future Events Scheduled by the Naticnal Ciub Canceled by the Board. | The Board of Supervisors held a special session yesterday afternoon to consider the permits for- boxing entertainments recently issued by acting Mayor Taylor. At the last meeting of the board a reso- | lntion was adopted taking the power of granting permits out of the hands of the Mayor and placing itin the hands of the | board and revoking those alreaay granted. Then there was wild scurryirg among the | managers of the Hawkins-Zeigler contest that took place last evening to get the board Lo hold a special session so that the contest could be brought off, for much money had already been expended in the way of expenses and any delay might mean a big loss. They managed to secure | numes ecough for the ealling of a special session _and thus saved the day. Super- | visors Dimond, Benjamin, Scully, King, | Morganstern, Wagner and Dunker were pl:egent, with acting Mayor Tavlor in the chair, Supervisor Dimond was in favor of ai- lowing the permits already issued to stand, as those to whom they had been issued bad expended considerable money in good faith. Mr. Taylor wanted to know whether the passage of the resolution was intended as a reflection on the Mayor and was assured by a number of those present that no such thought had entered their heads while voting on the order. Aiter some discussion it was decided to allow the permit for last night's entertain- ment, that ot the Manhattan Club for to- night and that of the National Club on June 3 to stand on account of the exp-nses incurred by the managers of the institutu- tions. The permits for two National Ciub nights billed for Jvly and August were canceled, tnuu%h they may be reissued if the board sees fit. Supervisor Dimond and acting Mayor Taylor voted against the cancellation of any permits already issued. THE BUILDING TRADES. The Carpenters Take Decisive Action Regarding the Shinglers. At a meeting of the Building Trades Council last night a special committee re- ported having called upon the architect at the City Hall and that he had stated that instructions had been given to have the eight-hour and anti-scab clause inserted in all contracts relating to the building. The business agents were instructed to report the names of all union men who are not living up to union rules. The new job steward rules and card were presented and approved. The following communi- cation was received from Carpenters’ Union 22: Dear Sir and Brother: 1 am authorized by the union to inform you that shingling is con- sidered part and parcel of the carpenter trade and must be done by union carpenters. You are not allowed to work with shinglers, whether they work by the day or otherwise. You are also restrained from working with any carpenter, paintcr, plasterer, lathier, wood- worker, cornice-worker or hod-carrier who is not furnished with a working-card issued by the Building Trades Couucll ot this City. You are also informed that $3 per day is the mini- mum wage in this City. By order of local union No. 22. P. H. McCArTHY, President. R o i Another Doorstep Baby.

Everything Possible Is Done to Avoid Accommodating the Passengers. A PRIVILEGE TO BE CURTAILED Peculiarities on the Fourth, Devisa- dero and Fillmore Street Lines. The street railway system of San Fran- cisco was at one time, and that was only a few years ago, one that attracted the at- tention of all strangers who visited the City and caused them to remark, “San Francisco has the most complete and least intricate streetcar system in the Unit.d States.” But since E. P. Vining, manager of the Marker-street system, has been at the head of affairs, he has tinkered with that system until now Ee has succeeded in making 1t the most complex of any. The residents are scarcely able to understand it and strangers are unable to make it out. True, on the inside and outside of the windows of the cars and on the doors at each end there are posters relating to transfers that are so long that it takes a person some time to comprehend when, where and under what circumstances the privilege of houping out of one car and hopping on to another may be exercised. To the passenger who is unused to the peculiar methods of the particular line upon which he is riding these are practi- cally useless for the reason that before he can have an opportuuity to even read these rules so wonderiully made up the conductor approaches with *‘Fare, please; want a transfer?” sud oiten contents him- self with “‘Fare, please.” The poster in small letters tells the pas- senger that Le must “ask for a transfer upon settling for his fare,” but if he fails to do so, either from ignorance or forget- fulness, he finds that when he does want a transfer he is barred from that right, and if he wants to go on his journey he must e'uy another nickel, for by the order of Mr. ining no transfer must be issued unless asked for at the time the fare is paid. The system that now prevails has been, and still is, the source of a great deal of annoyance to the lady pas- sengers, who do nct sit up nights to famil- iarize themselves with the manifestoes of .Manager Vining, and on the part of the male passengers it has caused many a one to break the commandment regarding pro- fanity. “How is this?"” asked a lady passenger on an Ellis-street car yesterday, ‘‘that you will not give me a transfer to Fillmore street north? Iwas given one yesterday.” “Guess not,”’ was the curt reply of the conductor. “But I was,” insisted the lady. “You must have been riding on the Eddy-street line.” And so 1t was, and because this lady did not walk one block farther south to get an Eddy-street car she was forced to pay an additional fare in order to ride on Fill- more street. This incident 1llustrates the lack of ac- commodation the Market-street system extends to its hundreds of thousands of patrons. Many are at a loss to under- stand why the m)mpnfl{"1 should issue transfers either way on Fillmore street at Eddy and refuse them at O’Farrell street, which is the continuation of the Ellis-street line. Another inconvenience to which passen- f)e“ are put is on the Fillmore and the evisadero street lines going north. Peo- ple who live in the immediate vicinity of these lines have in some way learned that if they gnronize either of them they may by the grace of E. P. Vining be trans- ferred to an eastward-bound car to reach the ferry. % There is one branch of the system known as the Sacramento street line that runs east along Sacramento street, cross- ing both Devisadero and Fillmore streets. ‘That, of course, wou!d be the most direct line on which to transfer passengers who ride on the lines of the two streets named from the southern extremity. Does the manager of the system allow them to tracsfer at that point and save time in reaching the ferry? No, that would be too much convenience and too much courtesy to the pussengers. The pas- sengers on Devisadero street are carried across Sacramento, Clay and Washington to Jackson where they are transierred to the cars of that line, which run down that street to Steiner, to Washington, to Stockton and then turn into Sacramento and continue on until they reach the ferry. This long round-about way in- volves a loss of nearly ten minutes' time and is a rather ridiculous way of making lrar.slar:. % S it b After June 1 passengers who travel sout! on the Montgomery-street bob-tail cars are to be deprived of another accommoda- tion.” Transfers from the cars to the Mai- ket-street line on cars going to the ferry and from the Market-<treet cars to the Montgomery-street cars will be discon- Ihmeg. A driver on one of these cars when asked what that meant answered, “Don't know, and I don’t know what's coming next.” Struck an Old Woman.

The soldiers of the Presidio Christian Endeavor Society were well represented at the concert held at the First Baptist Church last evening. It was the desire of the Endeavorers to give the right hand of welcome to the sol- dier Cbristians and cheer them on in their work among their comrades. Every mem- ber of the Presidio society received a ticket for the concert and was met by a reception committee as he entered the church. An 1nteresting programme was rendered in the auditorium of the church, each number of which was well received and encored. Especially notable were the selections given by the Knickerbocker | nartet, consisting of D. M. Lawrence, R. | . Evans, D. B. Crane and L. A. Larsen. . M. Lawrence, who is gifted with an | unusually fine tenor voice, sang, greatly | to the delight of the audience, “The | Clouds Are Gathering Darkly O’er Me.” After the programme was rendered a general hand-shake and reception was given to the Presidio Christian Endeav- orers. ——— FROM A BURNING BED.

They took up their abode in the Broadway House, corner of Broadway and Kearny streets, several months ago. They | were always considered an unusually cau- tious couple, and how the bedclothes be- came ignited is a mystery. Berze, when passing the house in which they reside, detected the scent of burning cloth. He entered the building and lo- cated a room on the first floor from which the smoke was passing through crevices around the door. He tried the door, but found it securely locked, so nothing re- mained for him to do but to burst it in. ‘When this was done the smoke poured out in volumes, which almost overcame him. The straw bedding was blazing up and belching forth volumes of stifling smoke at intervals. and asleep in the midst of all this, unconscious of the sur- rounaing danger, lay the old colored man and his faithiul wife. They were dragged out of bed without ceremony, and recdvered from the effects of the poisonous smoke and their rude awakening. e TRADES ALLIANCE. It Unanimously Indorses the Workingmen’s Card System.

The decomposed body of a man was found hanging from the rafters in Robin- son & Knox’s hay barn, corner of Brady and Stevenson strcets, last evening at 6 o'clock by John Henessy, who was search- ing for a missing set of harness. The coronor was notified and the body was re- moved to the Morgue. Judging from the condition of the body death had taken place fully three weeks ago. The face was past recognition. A number of people called at the Morgue during the evening in hopes of being able to identify the decomposed body, but after one glance at the blackened features hastened away, not carinz to remain long enough to note the wearing apparel which clothed the body. The case was plainly one of suicide. The body was that of a man probably about 45 vears of age, of sandy com- plexion. Tt was dressed in a dark brown coat and vest, dark gray trousers, black negligee shirt, black polka dot tie and lace shoes. ————eeeeee NEW TO0-LAY—AMUSEMENTS.
