8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CA/LL, FRIDAY, JULY 3, 1896. WHD IS MAYOR OF THIS TOWN? Adolph Sutro Is Sunning Himself at Cal- istoga. iNO SIGN OF HIS RETURN Supervisor Taylor Declines to Perform the Mayor’s Duties. CONFUSION AT THE CITY HALL. Supervisors Agree to Submit a Telepbone Franchise Appli- cation. Supervisor C. L. Taylor does not con- sider himself acting Mayor since Mayor Sutro’s leave of absence for sixty days expired. The Supervisor has special reasons for not considering himself the acting Mayor since the board last 'T'uesday morning called Supervisor Benjamin to the chair when the Geary-street franchise was pend- ing. There were several callers at the City Hall yesterday who particularly desired that Surpervisor Taylor should assert him- self and periorm in the absence of Mayor Sutro some of the functions which devolve upon the chief executive. These inter- ested persons were connected with public institations end wanted the Mayor's ap- proval of coniracts for furnishing sup- plies, There was quite an accumulation of unsigned resolutions in the Mayor's office and some members of the School Board were in great trouble lest the bond of the new School Director, Soper, could not be approved in time for the afternoon meeting of the Board of Education. The panic spread in a mild form to Supervisors Hughes, Benjamin, Dunker and Morgenstern, who were doing Street Committee business with John A. Russell and George W. Elder at the old stand. Mr, Creswell was called down from the law department to enlighten the Super- visors, and when the legal adviser retired from the committee-room the Supervisors knew very uearly as much as they did before. In a general way he said he would hesi- tate about voting with Colonel Teylor as a City Hal! or Election Commissioner if his own vote should give the majority re- quired for action. This indicatea that Mr. Creswell entertained a doubt whether the courts would recognize Colonel Taylor as acting Mayor in the absence of Mayor Sutre. Still the City and County Attorney did not want this ofi-hand expression to *=¢- regarded as an official decision. The Spervisors were advised to communicate + writing the reguest for such informa- 12 ™ as they desired, and it was suggested iS¢ they should attach to the written Communication a copy of the resolution appoiating Colonel Taylor acting Mayor and giving Mayor Sutro ieave of absence. John A. Russell observed that the Board of Supervisors had alwayc exercised the power of designating some Supervisor to act as Mayor in the absence of the Mayor. The resolution of April 20, 1896, simply reads: “That Supervisor C. L. Taylor be and 1s hereby appointed Mayor pro tem., to perform the duties cf that office during the absence of his Honor, Mayor Sutro.” It seems that Mayor Sutro was absent for a period of sixty days or so and Colonel Taylor acted as Mayor. But then Mr. Sutro returned to town and performed bis duties for a day or two. Now he has gone to bis ranch near Calistoga, and if he does not return before the 4th, and if Colonel Taylor persistently refuses to actas Mayor, things may come to such a pass thatan all-night Fourth of July masquerade-ball may teke place without the sanction of the City’s chief executive. The Street Committee of the board yes- terday decided by a unanimous vote to recommend that the application of the People’s Mutual Telephone Company for a franchise be submitted. Two applica- tions were pending. The other was from Herman de Laguna. Some time ago both propositions were referred to the City and County Attérney in order that the board might be advised as to which one should be submitted. Of the two the Attorney found the Laguna proposition the better, as it provided a generous tender of free facilities to the municipality. The Peo- ple’s Compauny gave the City the free use of forty telephones within two years. Laguna offered 100 telephones free for the first ten years and fifty additional there- after. The Supervisors have not been able to ascertain verv much about Laguna’s in- tentions. He was heard from at Stockton in reference to the Geary-street franchise. He appeared once before the 8treet Com- mittee and made a good impression, but a doubt is entertained whether he means business as a promoter of cheaper tele- phone service. The committee has re- ceived information showing that he has displayed wonderful energy usa franchise- ceexer in Los Angeles and other cities. Attorney Robert A. Friedrich, speaking for the People’s Telephone Company, pointed to a E‘emion signed by 7000 citi- zens of San Francisco asking that this company should get a franchise. He was not ascending a high mountain and offer- ing everything in sight for a franchise, but did promise that the promoters of the People’s Mutual Company would put in modern, first-class instruments and cheapen th: cost of telephony in San Francisco. The Supervisors agreed with- out a dissenting voice to recommend the submission of his company’s application for a franchise, GAS MEN TO GAS.

CURTIS, Acting Secretary. It is not thought in customs circles that the Government will allow the State te in- terfere go far as foreign vessels are con- cerned. The present step is taken with a view of learning just what power the Federal authorities have in_the matter of vesseis coming from any Pacitic British- | American port. Assoon as this point is | clearly established it is believed that Dr. Rosenan will be given exclusive control of quarantine affairs. Should such action be taken Dr. Chalmers will probably make a lively fight to retain his position. ————— Patriotic Exercisos.

Spectators Wanted to See the Fight Proceed to the Limit, REFEREE SULLIVAN FXPLAINS. Jeffries Favorably Impresscd the Audi- ence by Knocking Long Out in Two Rounds. The first fistic carnival planned by the New Occidental Club came off at the Pavilion last night. It resulted in Danny Mahoney being deciared the victor over Joe Sullivan, Jim Jeffries knocking Dan Long out in the second round ana the contest between ‘‘Mysterious’’ Smith and Gallagher being declared a draw. As early as 7 o'clock in the evening ticket-holders began to arrive, and soon a large crowd had congregated in front of the doors. Captain Wittman was present with a squad of policemen, part of whom kept the doors cleared on the inside, while the rest kept the sidewalk open for pedes- trians. The hall filled rather slowly, but by 9 o’clock, the hour at which the boxing began, the vast building was pretty well occupied. The boxing began with a six-round bout between Danny Mahony and Joe Sullivan. As the little fellows stepped into the ring they were generously applauded. Billy Jordan acted as master of cere- monies, and after announcing the names of the contestants stated that Jimmy Carrol would act as referee for the bout and E. J. Toby as official time-keeper for the series, Sullivan appeared the heavier of the two, while Mahony looked overtrained. The contest for the whole six rounds was spirited, and the little fellows punched each other often and viciously. - Both wer? generously cheered throughout the Dan Long. The mysterious man, com- monly known as Billy Smith, late of Eng- land, was attended by Alexander Greg- gains, the political fireman, and Timothy McGrath, ‘the confidential adviser and rubber-down of Tom Sharkey, tne famous slogger of Uncle Sam’s navy. Mike Salli- van, the right-hana bower of Billy Harri- son of the old Pacific Club, was selected as referee, and when he made his inaugural bow to the boys there were several lmuns the spectators who recognized the ol familiar face and bald pate. D.J. Tobie was selected as the official referee. Everything being ready for business, the referee held ashort consultation with the pugiiists. It was presumed that Mr. Sul- | livan was instructing the fighters not to break the rules of Queensbery and that to insure a fair contest they must break away when ordered to do so. Gallagber broke from his chair the mo- ment he heard the sound of the gong and met his opponent, *'the Mysterious,”” hali- way between chairs, . The fighters were very evenly matched in every particular, and the lovers of the good old sport looked forward to a great mill. Gallagher of Oakland was the first to open the nrfinmmt of the evening. He led with the left at Smith’'s sharpened face, but the latter ducked neatly, and the blow shot over Smith’s shoulder and spent itself on the midnight atmosphere. The M{steflou: smiled, and, clungkinfi his position, quickly he let go a wickes drive at Gallagnher’s sun-browned face. The glove grazed Gallagher's jaw and a clinch resulted. The fighters "had now warmed up for business, and Smith, an- ticipating that Gallagher would resort to his old tricks, watched his actions_closely. Gallagher swung his left at the Mysteri- ous’ jaw and landed a pretty good stiff one on the neck. He tried twice to follow with & right swing, but Smith ducked and caught Gallagher a neat jab in the short ribs. Another clinch and then the dirty work commenced. Smith tried toshake the Los Angeles hugger off, but failing in the attempt he gave Gallagher the hip and pitched him on the floor. Galiagher looked savage as Le regained his pins and dashed at Smith. A few exchanges followed and another clinch resulted. Both men were punch- ing as best they could with their rights | while their lefts were entangled around | each other’s necks. Smith in the shufle | zot Gallagher on his hip and in a jiffy sent | him sprawling on the boards. The spectators now looked for a good old | rough and tumble game and they were not disappointed. Gallagher concluded that his opponent intended to resort to | every game in the business and he deter- | mined to use every scheme he possessed | to equalize matters. Once again they met and Gallagher wild and woolly smashed at Smith with right and left. The rignt missed 1ts mark, but the left came to afull stop on Smith’s nose, drawing the claret. Smith was wild and excited. Herushed | at his antagonist, who ducked a wicked right-hand ~swing and then clinched. This was the clinch of the season. With right arms free they smashed at each | other regardless of where their blows | landed. Foulsdid not count with them, | and the referee being unable to separate them, the Captain of Police, Wittman, took a hand in the game, and ducking | under the ropes in tge most approved style, he tried to make the human bull- dogs break away. _Sufficient to ‘say that the captain and his staff had no easy task in separating the combatants.

The new chief officer is a graduate of McNevin Bros.” school, and his teachers are more than satisfied with the good showing he made before the examining voard. The following letter, sent to them by Captain Merry, will be of interest to all shipping men: In reply to your inquiry I beg ‘o state that it has becn decided by the éxaminers on seaman- ship and navigation that the following requis- its are necessary (in navigation) to pass: First (for niaster)—Latitude by meridian altitude of the sun. Second—Longitude by chronometer. Third—One method of latitude out of the meridian either long or short, double aiti- tudes or reGuction to meridian. Fourth—Ship’s position by account. For chief ofticer—Nos. 1, 2 and 4 as above. Any work beyond these requirements will of course go to the credit of the party, but is not made necessary. It will be the aim of the ex- sminers to make the examination practical, and gentlemen will be permitted to make good any error by subsequent work, provided other- wige satisfactory. The Chamber of Commerce examining board is co_mg;)sed of Captain W. L. Merry and Captain D. O. 1. Wilson. It maynow be said to be in full swing and merchants and ship-owners are glad thatitis, Hither- to masters and officers have had no cre- dentials to show except those obtained from a navigation school, and while these carry full weight still it was thought necessary that the chamber would do something in the mater.

Jeffries of Los Anceles and Dan Long of Denver. Billy Smith and Alex Gregzains acted as seconds for the former, and Danny Mullen, together with Sam Barbour, handled the towels for the latter. Amid tremendous applause Joe Choynski was named as the referee. When he step- ved into the ring with a good-natured smile illuminating his countenance, he was given an ovation. It was plain that Choynski was a hero in the eyes of the spectators. As the men shook hands, preparatory to an endeavor to send each other to the Land of Nod, Jeffries was seen to be much the heavier man of the pair, having perha; twenty pounds the best of his opponentg: avoirdupois. His brawny physique made Long seem slender in comparison. Itwas freely prophesied by the sports that Long would not last three rounds. Events proved the truth of this prognostication. As the men svarred for an opening Long was sm.iling and confident and did some very pretty dancing around. Jeffries, on the other hand, was serious in aspeet, but cool and collected. The determined set of his jaws demonstrated that his intention was to put his opponent out as soon as possible. Jeffries led with his left, missed and clinched. Long hit low with his left, whereupon both struck and clinched. Jeffries made a vicious jab at Long’s head with his right, but the blow was cleverly ducked. There was a rally. Long countered with his right, and received a sledge-hammef blow on the pointof his chin from Jeffries’ right that floored him. He had hardly regained his feet when Jeffries again countered on the point of his jaw with a right-hand blow that knocked im off his feet again. The_second round opened with a rush from Long, who struck and missed, fall- ing from the force of his own biow. Jef- fries then banged him right and left. Hot infighting followed, Jeffries hitting Long every which way. Finally he landed a terrific blow on the point of the jaw. Long sank to the floor and was counted out. The event of the evening, which, accord- ing to Master of Ceremonies Billy Jordan, was to be a “ten-round contest between “Mysterions” Billy Smith, late of Eng- land, and Billy Galiagher of Los Angeles, but late of Oakland, was stopped near the end of the first round by Captan Witt- | man of the police force. Gallagher of Los Angeles was the first to put in anappearance. He was esquired by Billy Smith, the Australian, and J. J. Jeffries, the heavy-weight, who whipped When Gallagher and Smith were dis- patched to their corners Captain Wittman said: “Gentlemen, I will tolerate boxing contests, but no slogging; if the fighters can select a referee who will see that a fair boxing contest is carried on, I will not object, but this slogging game I will certainly not permit.” Just as soon as Captain Wittman gave his ultimatum Referee Sullivan declared the contest a draw, much to the dissuus and chagrin of the s, tors, who paid an ‘:liim[nion fee to see this contest in partic- ar., Billy Jordan, the master of ceremonies, who had held a short interview with Gal- lagher and Smith, shouted for order, and when silence came he announced that Gallagher refused to go on with the fight long as the referee had decided the atch a draw. That ended all argument and_the spec- tators deF-rud from the Pavilion thor- oughly disgusted with the outcome. Immediately after the contestants had entered their dressing-rooms, Smith as- serted that he would fight George Green at any place and at anv time he might name after his fight in Portland Or., with Billy Evans, the 16th inst. <1 w to take Green first,”” he de- clared, “‘and if he refuses to make a match, T wili take Ryan at 144 pounds. “Gallagher 15 a cur. Why didn’t he keep on when Captain Wittman said he would let the fight proceed if a compe- tent referee could be found. He had haa all that he wanted; that was the trouble with him. His own seconds were unable to hold him in_ his corner, he was so anxious to wet off the stage.’’ “Young” Mitchell said the directors will meet to-morrow and consider Gallagher's :gttinfihnl!thc gnne. They had commu- nicated to him, he said, that they were en- tirely dissatisfied with Gallagher's action in refusing to proceed with the fight, and might conclude not to allow him a cent. he followiny letter from Refered Sulli- van is self-explanatory.

JOE CHOYNSK AND PETER MAKER The Irish Champion Will Come West to Meet the Californian. A TEN-ROUND CONTEST. Eddie Grarey Received a Favor- able Answer From Maher Yesterday. OFFERS MADE BY THE CLUBS. Full Particulars of the Battle in New York Between the Australian and the Irishman. Peter Maher, the champion heavy- weight pucilist of Ireland, telegraphed Eddie Graney yesterday from New York that he has finally concluded to visit the Pacific Coast again and that if Choynski will meet him in a ten-round contest at the Pavilion a match can be consummated. Choynski had all preparations made to leave this City to-day for New York, where he expected to meet Maher ina limited contest. He is much more pleased to remain in this City and box Maher under the auspices of whichever club that will offer the most tempting inducements in the way of good hard coin. Graney said that Maher took the right view of the situation when he decided to meet the native son in his native city, not because Choynski will be accorded any better treatment here than Maher. “The Irishman has numerous friends and supporters in San Francisco,” said Graney, ‘‘and he knows right well that he will be given fair play here by the club under whose auspices he will box against Choynski. *In New York the police are very ayt to stop a contest between clever men until such time as the Horton bill wil! take ef- fect. Maher is aware of this factanit I think he has acted wisely, in deciding uFun a trip to the coast.” The Olympic Club of this City bas offered a purse of $4000 for & go between Maher and Choyn- ski, but the National Club has gone one better with an offer of $60C , and in all probability the contest wiil take place un- der its management, unless some other club offers better inducements in the meantime. We will only recognize, in the language of the auctioneer, the highest bidder for cash. “Choynski is now in pretty good condi- tion and with a few weeks’ training he will be fit 10 meet the best man living.”’ Asonly a very meager descrintion of the Slavin and Maber contest was tele- graphed from New York, readers of pugil- istic sports can glean from the following account, culled from an Eastern exchange, how the Irishman handled’ the big burly Australian in a few short rounds. The report says: ‘When the fighters met each other in the cen- ter of the ring for the first round, vin was seen to be head and shoulders over his oppon- ent. No time was lost in fiddling, for the Aus- tralian 1mmediately shot out his right and Maher quickly shifted aside and the blow went sliding over his back. Siavin tried again and missed, and Maher let go his left and caught the Australian on the cheekbone. This did not phase Slavin. who went piledriving at the Irishman, who )umged back nimbly and returned quickly, catching Slavin right and leit. It was a not round, indeed; as fine as ever seen between two big men. Maher keptful(inz in his left on Slavin's cheekbone until it was as red as a raw steak. The crowd soon discovered that Maher was the master and the wildest cheer- ing took place. They exchanged straight leits on the neck and face, hard swings on the head and body and were so earnest about it that Acting In- spector Harley came within an ace of stopping it. But the bell was rung and the round had lasted a little over aminute. The crowd began to beseech Maher to knock his rivai out in the second round and he smiled .lwlaked smile that made his friends look for blood. Slavin played for an opening and quickly shot his leit under the ear. It wasa hard blow, and Peter, expecting another like it, clinched until the referee had to break the men. Then the bulky Australian rushed fiercely, both of his flail-like armsswinging dangerously near Peter’s heed. But the Irishman retreated to the ropes, where he clinched. Slavin got home finally & right hander on the side of the head, and that seemed to stir Peter’s blood, for with a mighty rush he drove his left to the mouth and banged Slavin over the heart with such a terrific right that the Australian was almost doubled up. Maher followed up this advan- tage with a couple of sledge-hammers in the neck, and Slavin had to clinch to further avoid the onslaught. He was groggy and harily able to reach his corner. When the third round tegan Slavin was suf- fering from lack of wind, and he moved about soslowly that those who had seen him fight Jake Kilrain some gens 8go could scarcely believe that it was the same man. Maher, on the other hand, was all activity. He danced around his antagonist like & cooper round a barrel, and jabbed him in the face with his straight leit until he cut the flesh under the right eye. The blood spurted forth at once and trickled down Siavin’s cheek, but the battle continued, while the crowd yelled in approval. Maher sailed in with a vengeance "and piled blow after blow upon Frank's face and neck. Slavin, however, was game to the core and full of fight, for he mixed it up with Peter and re- turned blow for blow. But the punches he de- livered were growing weaker every time he drew back his brawny arm, and the biffs and pangs that Maher was sending in were rapidly making the lights in the Garden look like of twinkling stars to the conqueror of y Peter sent in hisleft to thd cut un- der the eye and swung his right heavily upon the jaw. Siavin reeled as if about to fall, gn! the ropes proved a safeguard, and he was still on bis feet, staggering about, when the beil rang. Inspector Hariey wented to stop the fight then and there, but he was prevailed upon to let it go just one round more. So the bell clanged again, and the gladiators came to the center of ihe stage with careful steps and hands reedy to do as much damsge &8 possible. Slavin’s .Xl“ wera staring vacantly as he tried to hit Maher in the face, and then Peter swung his left flush on the jaw. The blow was well aimed, and had so much beef back of it that Slavin was knocked against the ropes. He bounded off in semi-helpless fashion, nnd insinctively tried to land a left swing. ©Once more Maher let go his left, followed by a tremendous right. Both hands landed on the Australian’s neck and jaw, and he pitchea forward as if blind, Oue more punch was needed to put him to sleep, but be?ore Maher could get it in—and he wanted to badly—the referee cang'\:t Slavin in hig arms and stopped the fight. vin staggered to his corner d‘n a man who had been into his chair. After tiie battle Maher was interviewed and said, in answer 10 & question why he failed to knock the Australisn out: “I couldn’t deliver & biow with any force. The boards were loose and so lpflnq that I conldn’t get a firm foct- came near falling several times, as one board was above the other.” Shortly after the conversation Maher and Slavin met at the Gilsey House and they shook hands, drinking each other’s health. Maher drank lemonade and Slavin beer. “You are fighting for giory, Peter, and I'm Ahn:r money. You must give me another ¢ nce.’ “Ye-almy time,” answered Maher, good- 8 ures . That lellow 1s made of iron, indeed,” said Peter, as he loft the hotel. “He can stand a 1ot of punching, indeed.” — e Clifion’s Coach Goes Free.
