CUT RATES WILL - NOT FOLLOW, A New Steamer Being Built for the Humbeldt Route. EUREEA IS INTERESTED Two Years Ago the Old Steamer Was Wrecked in a Gale Near Point Gorda. WILL BE REPLACED IN OCTOBER The Monticello Laid Up for Repairs, Her Place Taken by the Tug Vigilant. A new steamer for use in the Eureka trade is now in the course of construction, She will cost in the neighborhood of 130,000, and when completed will be one of the handsomest steamers trading to this port. She will be 210 feet long and 35 feet broad, and her owners expect her to make at least fifteen miles an hour under full steam. On September 28, 1894, the steamer Humboldt became a total loss near Point | Gorda, and the new boat is to take her | place. The Humboldt went on the rocks, and while all the passengers were saved the vessel went to pieces before the tugs came to her assistance. At the time aun amicable arrangement was arrived at be- | tween the Humboldt Steamship Company 00. | and the Pacitic Coast Steamship Company. The latter agreed to run two boats a week instead of one and has done so ever since. The building of the new boat, therefore does not mean a rate war, as the Pacific Coast Steamship Company will simply | take its usual run and the Humboldt con- cern will pick up its old trade. The hull of the new vessel is being built H.D. Bendixsen at Eureka, and the | engines and boilers at the Fulton Iron Works. Everything is being rushed, and it is expected that the new vessel will be | ready for sea about the middle of October. Richard Sweasey, the millionaire lumber- man of Humboldt County, is the president | of the Humvoldt Steamship Company, | and Max Kalish & Co. are the géneral | agents. The new vessel has not yet been named. The steamer Monticello has been laid up for a general overnauling. The general inspection of her boilers and engines takes | place to-morrow, and in consequence the tug Vigilant has been placed on the Vallejo run. Captain Hatch says he is determined to fight the Southern Pacific to the bitter the hiring of a tug to fill his steamer’s | place, he would sooner pay the extra | money than disappoint the traveling | public. | The steamer Pomona sailed for Eureka yesterday with a full passenger list.

This testimonial was signed by eizhty- tive of the passengers. Captain Lundquist is one of the most ex- verienced and popular masters on the water iront, and he was the only skipper who landed his passengers at Six-mile Creek, their destination. STILL HANGING FIRE The Proposed Insurance Com- pact Has Not Yet Been Effected. Friends of the Comb nation Are Loth to Speak, but Seem Sanguine of Success. There seems to be hope of a re-establish- ment of the compact among local insur- ance agencies, and representatives of the various large companies, while very close- mouthed, are commencing to look cheer- ful in anticipation of coming success. A largely attended meeting of the Union of Fire Insurance Underwriters was held yesterday morning at which representa- tives of all the larger companies were pres- ent excepting Watt of the Royal, Belden of the Hartford, Maxwell of the Conti- nental, Turner of the Northwestern and Potter of the Williamsburg. Thus far, despite all reports to the con- trary, no definite course of action has been decided upon . Hugh Craig, who is one of the moving spirits in the present agitation for the revival of the compact, when spoken to yesterday on the matter, said : “Qur plans are not sufficiently matured yet for us to be justified in making them It may be that all our efforts are destined to come to naught. At to-mor- row’s meeting we hope to et affairs into working order and decide upon some de- fined pian of action. But for tne present all is conjectural, and it would be prema- ture to make any statement until we our- selves know what to state. It would not, nowever, be out of place to say that we are aoing our best to bring about a better state San Francisco for more than iwenty years. of things for the insurance business.”” | end, and, although he will lose money on | rived here last March with her cargo on | there | and Captain Lunaquist showed the fol- | | | G The New Steamer Now Being Built for the Humboldt Steamship Company to Run Between Here and | Eureka, Humboldt County.

The New Franchise of the Geary- Street Road Will Be Opposed. MONEY FOR ELECTRIC LIGHTS. Stanyan and Oak Streets, Near Goiden Gate Park, Shoud Be Re- paired at Ouce. The San Francisco Associated Improve- ment Clubs met ir the B’nai B'rith build- ing last eveninv, and considered a number of matters of the utmost importance to the tax-paying citizens of this City. James D. Phelan assumed the chair, andina few fitting remarks outlined the objects and policy of the organization. There were present delegates from twenty local improvement clubs, and the first business of the meeting was to admit to membership the Ocean View organiza: tion. The following committees were then ap- pointed by the chair: Street railways—Dr. Thomas E. Shumate of Western Addition Association; S. J. Dwyer, ew Potrero; Charles W.

Under the head of new business a number of resolutions were introduced. The first was presented by the delezates from the Richmond District Improvement Associ- ation. It was a protest against the rattler test e ordinance and was referred to the commit- | tee on streets and parks. A resolution by the Parg Hill Improvement Club asking for an appropriation of $75,900 for the im- provement of Buena Vista Park was re- ferreu to the same committee. A resolu- tion regarding the Mission park met a like fate, When it came to the matter of opposing the granting of a new franchise to the Gear, club was a unit. was read and referred to the committee on street railroads, with instructions that the committee appear before the Board of Supervisors to-day and plead against the granting of the new franchise: To the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco— GENTLEMEN: Your petitionérs, owning property and valusble in- | terests in the district lying north of Golden Gate Park, have learned that the Geary-street, Park and Ocean Railway Company, owing & franchise for the construction and operation of a street railroad, to wil Commencing at the west line of Market street at its intersection with Geary, thence along Geary street and Point Lobos avenue westerly to Fifth avenue, thence along Fifth avenue to Golden Gate Park.

Your honorablz board is fully aware that the transier system now in operation in this City is cuusing very general uncasiness and alarm in the minds of the citizens of this City. We learn continually of these privileges being cur- tailed and vexatious tached thereto, so that it is expected within a shorttime that these privileges will be stopped altogether. Your petitionérs live so far from the business portion of the City that the street railroads are almost a necessary condition of our exist- ence. Thus, by adverse action they can almost cause the ruin of the large property interests winich are at stake and destroy their taxabie values, which would cripple ihe resources of our City government. We thereiore pray you to put these large cor- poration interests on their good behavior for the next seven vears.

He wired the following characteristic reply: California is the one State free from finan- cial heresy.

F. A. Haber submitted a programme also ingeniously and elaborately worked out as to detail.

The Next Quarterly Meeting Will Be Held on the First Mon- day in July. { SPECULATION IS AGAIN RIFE. | The Recommendations of Captain Witt- man on His Return Expscted to Have Some Effect. The next quarterly meeting of the Board | of Police Pension Commissioners, which will be held on the first Monday of July, | is being looked forward to with alarm by | some and with interest by other members | of the department. The reason is that at the same meeting last year Captains Douglass, Short and Stone, Sergeant Cohrn and three patrol- men were requested to send in their resig- nations preparatory to being placed on the pension list. It wasat that time announced that only afew of those who by their age and length of service were entitled to he placed on the list had been retired, as it would not be conducive to the vest interests of the de- tirement. The policy would be to retire the others at different periods until the list was completed. Another reason given was that so long as the men were capablé of performing their duties it would be impolitic 10 bur- den the City with the extra expense of paying their pensions, as other men would | bave to be appointed to fill the vacancies. | Notwithstanding these reasons there isa growing feeling among the rank and file of | the department that some of those eligible | for retirement on pension will be requested to send in their resignations, and the ques- tion is discussed as to who will go ont. Amoug those eligible are Captains Lees | ana Dunlevy, Property Clerk Cullen, Ser- | geants Linaheimer, Shields, Brown, Cor- | nelius Martin and Hotaling, Detectives | Bohen and Bainbridge and Policeman | Morehouse. | Property Clerk Cuilen has been sick for | some time, and it is doubtful if he will ever | be able to again perform ihe onerous | duties of his office. It is therefore believed that he will be placed on the list, probably at his own request. . Captain Wittman will return soon from his three months’ tour throughout the | country, and as he was to pay particular | attention to the systems in vogue in the | police departments of the leading cities, he may be expected to recommend some changes. His leave of absence expires on | July 3, so that he will be here a few days | before tue quarterly meeting of the pen- sion boara. Whether his recommendations will have any effect upon the placing of the old offi- cers upon the pension list is, of course, only a matter of conjecture, but it is shrewdly suspected that they will. partment toinsist upon a wholesale re- | GRAND CIRCLE OF WOMEN FORESTERS Many Delegates "Assemble in Local Head- quarters. A FAVORABLE REPORT. The Grand Circle Is Increasing in Membership and’ Finances. WORK ON THE AMENDMENTS. Members Stricken From the Roll May in the Future Be Per. mitted to Rejoin. The Grand Circle of California Com- panions of the Forest held its ninth an- nual session yesterday. This order com- prises the ladies’ branch of the Foresters of America. The committee on credentials recom- mended the seating of six past grand companions, twelve grand officers and sixty delegates. This was adopted. The morning session was devoted to receiving reports from the committees on creden- tials, to receiving delegates and to the appointment of committees. The follow- ing committees were appointed for the ensuing year: Credentials—Mrs. L. Grosjean, San_Pedro; Miss M. White, Los Angeles, and Mrs. Muegee, Woodland. Distribution—Miss M. V. Marshall, Watson- ville; Mrs. A. Harrison, San Francisco, and Mrs L. Ouer, San Fran Worms and Mrs. B. JFinatice—S. L. Waller, City; Mrs. Stephen- son, Stockton, and Miss M. Mentel, Alameda. Press—H.

In the afternoon the circle assembled at 1 o’clock with Mrs. A. B. Andrew sin the | chair. A communication of greeting and good will was reaa from the supreme chief | comvpanion, Mrs. S. Storey of Philadel- phia. The representatives elected to attend the session of the Supreme Circle held in Bos- ton last September, consisting of Sol Pei- ser and 8. L. Waller of this City, Lewis More of Los Angeles and C. P, Rendon of Stockton presented a lengthy report as to the general condition of the order, show- ing quite an increase both 1h membership | and finances. An invitation was read from Yuba Circle of Marysville inviting the Grand Circle to | hold 1ts session of 1897 in that city. The committee presented its report om | thirty-six of the proposed amendments, many of the same being recommended for adoption. Among the amendments finally adopted was one requiring that all bonds in the Grand Circle be procured from surety companies, and same made payable to the grand chief companion. A proposition to have the meeting of the Grand Circle held permanently in San | Francisco was defeated. Reports of depu- ties must in the future be sent thirty days prior to the session to the grand chief companion. | Druggists must in future be members of | the order whenever practicable. Members | stricken from the roll will in future be permitted to rejoin the order as new mem- | bers, provided that the saia members have | been so stricken from _the rolls for & year. | Members becoming reinstated will not be | entitled to any benefits for the first three | months after reinstatement, and only to | medicine and medical attendance. | The matter of charging tne per mpita1 tax to the individual members was re- pealed and left optional with the circle. ELECTRICITY NOT GAS. Folsom Street Improvement Club Asks for Electric Lights. The Folsom Street Improvement Club has apoointed a committee consisting of | A. B. McGuire, T. L. Center, Dr. T. A. Rottanzi, J. J. McEwen and Captain George A. Raabe to interview the street lighting committee to persuade them to replace the present gas light on Folsom street with electric lamps between Third and Fourteenth streets. The committee propose to ask for three lamps on a block, one in the center and one on each end. The cost of these three replacing five gas lamps the committee estimate to be less. Hence thney argue electric lights will not only be better, but also more economical. Dr. Henry's Final Lectures. Rev. J. Q A.
