8 RATES CUT ON TEA SHIPMENTS, Move of the Railroad to Check a Vanishing Traffic. COMPETITION T00 KEEN San Francisco May Become a Great Distributing Point for Tea ‘RATES EFFECTIVE TO CHICAGO This Port Has Natural Climatic Ad- vantages Possessed by Few Other Cities. After seeing the China and Japan trade gradually slipping from its grasp for sev- eral years the Southern Pacific Company has at last awakened to the fact that there | is serious danger of its being deprived of it almost entirely by the keen competition | of four otber rail routes in connection with the same number of competitors of‘ the Pacific Mail and the Occidental and Or ental steamship companies. Ths is the situation that has long been recognized by the local tea trade, and through the Traffic Association the South- ern Pacific Company was asked some time 820 to make a blanket rate on tea of 75| cents per 100 pounds to Clicago and all points west of that metropolis. The mat- ter has been under consideration for some months, but 1t was only yesterday that the railroad company came to the deter- mination to aid the local tea merchants and protect its own 1nterests by making a radical reduction in the rates on tea into the territory mentioned. Taking effect-July 25 there will shortly beissned by the Southern Pacific Com- pany a specizl rate on tea and teadust, which vild apply in connection with the Rio Grande Western, Denver and Rio Grande, Colorado Midiand, Buriington and Missouri River, Chicago, Rock Isixnd and Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Atlantic and Pac tebison, Topeka and Banta Fe, and e Southern Pacitic's Atlantic system via New Orleans. These rates will apply from California terminal stations, namely: San Francisco, fixteenth street (Oakland), San Jose, Stockton, Sacramento, Marysville and Los Angeles to Missouri River common points, namely: Sioux City, Omaha, mnus City and points between on both banks of "Missouri River, and also to St. Paul uand Minnespolis, Galveston, Houston and Mississippi River common points, namely : St. Louis, New Orleans and various points on the Mississippi River south of Du- buque, lowa. It will also apply to Chicago aua common points, taking in Milwaukee and the cities of Wisconsin and Iliinois. These new rates will be quoted, as is customary, at owner's risk of sifting, tea always losing more or less in transit by the finer portion filtering through the thin boxes and the martting wrapped around them. For carload lots, minimum of 24,000 pounds, the rate will be $1 per 100 pounds, and for less than carload lots the rate will be §1 50 per 100 pounds to alt the roints namea and also to all inter- mediate points. Under the present sched- ule of rates §1 55 per 100 pounds is charged on carload Jots and §3 per 100 pounds on less than carload lots to intermediate points east of Colorado. To Colorado in- termediate points and points west of that Biate the rate per 100 pounds on less than carload !ots is now $2. The terminal rate which applies to-day from Pacific Coast common ponts to Missouri River, Mis- gissippi River and Chicago common points $1 50 per 14,0J.ounus in carload lots and $2 ver 100 pounds in less than carload lots. One of the traffic men of the Southern | Pecific Company, speaking of this latest move of his company, had thss to say: ““Fhese rates will permit the tea trade of this City to bid ior a large amount of busi- ness that now goes to New York and will tend to make San Francisco one of the tea emporiums of the couniry. This d the coast jor a distance of about undred miles has a peculiar climate, ich permits of tea being stored for a great length of time without suffering any deterioration, » most important. matter which the local trade can 1ake advantage of 1o =id them in competing with the New York tea merchants. It wiil be possible forthe iocal men to keep large quantities on hand and supply the irade as consump- tion demanas, and the consumers will thus be provided with tea that is always fresh and wholesome. “We have no assurance that these rates | ‘will glve us an increased revenue, but we are willing to take our chances with the loca! merchants,” Where some years ago the Southern Pa- cific Company and 1its water allies—the Pa- citic Mail and the Occidental and Oriental sicamship companies—had a monopoly of the tea ic that crossed the Pacific North American continent t Ocean and they have ncw four competitors, which sre also in competition with one another, thus making the fight for business a epirted one. These are the Canadian Pa- cific Railroad in conmection with its own tteamship line via Vancouver; the North- ern Pacific via Tacoma; the Oregon Rail- way and Navigation Company via Port- land, and the Great Northern via Seattle. All of these lines carry the bulk of the tea to New York and Cbicago, which a now the distributing centers for much the larger portiou of the United States. It is noped with the aid of these reduced rates und the ideal tea climate for the stor: of tea that this City possesses that consider- able of this distributing business will fall to San Francisco. The only transcontinental line that has not agreed to come into this arrangement is the Union Pacific, with its connections, but it is Loped to secure their consent shortly, It is not urlikely that the competing Jines to the north will endeavor to pro- tect their business by meeting the cut of t5e Southern Pacific and its connections. 1f they do another reduction by the Cali- fornia line and its connections is among 1he possibilities, KILLED BY LJGHTINING. Sad Death of Senator Tillman’s Eldest Daughter, CHESTER, 8. C., July 1.8—Rev.

WATERLUO, Towa, July 18.—A sensa- tion was sprung here to-day when Mary Ann Butterfield of Cortland, N. Y, through her attorneys, filed a suit against the heirs of the late Almond Buttertield for a third interest in the estate of $100,000. There will be about twenty suits in all, many farmers to whom Almond Butter- field had translerred land being made de- fendants. Almond had been married three times. Mary Ann was wife 2. For more than twenty years Almond lived in this county with wife 3, and not until his death was it known that wife 2 still lived and that no divorce had been granted. g Chasrged With Embrzzlement.

They Claim There Is a Sufficient Sar¢ plus on Hand to Erect a Suitable Building. The Mission Defense Union, at a meet- ing held last night, determined to make a vigorous fight for a high school, to be es- tablished at some central point in the Mission. School Director Clinton was present ana said that while he heartily favored the scheme, the money was lack- ing for its consummation. “The appropriation has been reduced from $1,600,000 to $1,000,000,”” be said. “The salary lists of teachers foot up about $900,000, so it is seen that only $100,000 is left to run the entire depart- ment. If the Supervisors stick to this, it may be necessary to close some of our nigh schools. I would suggest, however, that an effort be made to establish at least three high school classes in the Horace Mann building. They have three vacant rooms just suited for such a purpose, and the expense of conducting classes in them would be nominal.” President Grady read the following com- munication: DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS, BOARD OF EDUCATION, 2 Sax Fraxcrsco, Cal., July 17, 1896. John H. Grady, President Mission Defense Union—DEARSIR: Owing 1o arrangements pre- viously made to visit friends at Mill Valley this evening, I will not be at the meeting. How- ever, if the report of the Auditer and the ree- ommendation of the Grand Jury is anything to base an_opinion on, it looks blue for & Mis- sion High School building. 1 am entirely unable to understand the true motives of some of our public men, when we find them ' striving to undermine the existence of the institutions that gave birth to this the most grand of all countries the sun shines on. What would the statistics of crime have been in this coun- try to-day had it mot been for our public schools? Compare the cost of msintainin, schools with that of earing for the criminal | elements caused by lack of educating the masses, especially in some of .the oider coun- tries. Spain spends seven times as much on meintaining her criminal courts and jsils, not including her armies, as she does on educa- tion: Russia nine timesas much; the figures for such maintenance in the United States I have not st my command. But in the main- tenence of the armies, compared with that of edueation, we have the following figures; Russis spends thirty-three times as much on her armies as she does on education, Spain twenty-seven times as much, and the United States twice as much on herschools as she does on her army. Does notsuch figures as these sustein the residents of the Mission in | their demands for what they were justly en- | titled to years ago without asking. If so, would it not have been a wiser move 10 buil us & high echool and two first-class grammar- school buildings, that we so much need, than to have piled $300,000 into a municipal building on Kearny street that we do not need? Would it not also have been a wisé move to heve placed seventy-five able-bodied, broad-minded teachers in the schools than to have added that number ot police to the force? Which will reduce the most crime. Yet, whenever a s demanded, the School Department is the first target 10 ngled out. We want this money to build this building, and when the taxpayers of this City will stand the unnecessary expeuse that was heaped on them last vear there is no excuse why we should not be given $200,000 for necessary expense. The Grand Jus urges a reduction in teachers’ salaries. This may be well, but the State that starves its teachers dwaris its children. They who rob the teacher smite posterity. But right rests on duty. To make the profession of teachin; lucrative we must-make it useful. The Boar of Education must be merciless to all laziness and incompeiency. The true social functions of & trades union are to punish bad workmen, exclude_the incompetent and insist on sound work. The doctrine of minimum wages must reston the guaranty o} honest goods, We can- not gather the plums until we w the tree. All we can do is 1o persevere and we will win. Very respectfully yours, H. C. HENDERsOX, Secretary Van Duzer saia the Auditor had suddenlv discovered-a balance in the treasury of $200,000. This money could not be used to pay old bills because the Supreme Court ‘had three times decided that such & gropmition was illegal. If the proper fight was made ne thought the $200,000 could be secured for a high school buflding in the Mission. On motion of Mr. Van Duzer the following were ap- rloimd to co-operate with the Mission igh School committee in accomplihing the end desired: B, A. Hultz, F. H. Far- ley, Gcorfe ‘W.

They have gone fur- ther to arrange this match than the man- agers of the other clubs, and while we do not consider ourselves patticularly bouud to sign with them, we shall give them plenty of time to arrange the affair before going elsewhere. - “There is one thing certsin, however, iha‘l we will make no match for less than a $6000 purse. We have given upa num- ber of important engagements that would k:ave netted us big moneyand made along and tedious journey to come out here, and $6000 is the least we will fight for. *‘Peter is in condition to fight at short notice, and the sooner the match is made the betzer.” g . When asked whether Maher would ob- ject to fighting outside of San Francisco Connolly replied : ‘‘Not in the least, anywhere 50 long as the money is guaranteed and we get a fair deal and protection,” The question was prompted by a state- ment made by J, J. Groom, one of the managers of the National Athletic Club, who met the party at the mole, that the fight would be neld under the auspices of his club. “‘Don’t let any one make the mistake of thinking tha tional Club is not go- ing to handle thi air,’”’ he said, *‘for it is. If we can’t geta permit from the San Francisco Supervisors isn't it just possible | that the fight might be held in some other county?

With him came “Buck” Connolly, his manager, aand Peter Lowry, a lightweight of Dablin, who acts as his trainer. The party was met at Sixteenth street, Oakland, by a number of Maher’s friends, and at the mole still another crowd greeted him and foliowed aboard the ferry. Maher said that he never felt better in his life, and that while he had journeyed to California to do battle with Choynaski he was ready to fight any one who would hazard a mateh. Peter seemed particularly anxious to get news of Sharkey and nis methods, and when told by a member of the party that the sailor was merely a.big, willing fellow, without any particular science, he de- manded : “Well, what was the matter with Cor- bett, then?” When the way that famous foar-round go was fought was explained, Peter smiled grimly and said: “Rushed in and clinched, did they ? Well, that game is all right sometimes, but it’s dangerous,” and his ponderous right closed ominously as though he was pic- wring to himseif how he would have *‘put Itlon"shl-rkoy bad he been in Corbett's lace. ¥ Corbett’s condition during that engage-. ment was also very interesting to Maber and he hazarded lg‘ that the California boxer could not have been in first-class form. Maber looks every inch a fighter—even more so than when he visited this coast three years ago. He has filled out some since then and says that he feels betterand weighs more than he has in years. He has the deep chest, ulopinf shoulders and mas- sive upper arms, well bound to the chest, that indicate driving power, while his straight, well-built legs denote agility and stability. The neck and jaw are those of the fighter, and his hands are large and well knit. Maher may well be classed as a hand- some man, his features being regular and his ression frank and pleasing. He was attired in a I‘Ifiht suit with a dark derby, when ke hted from the train last e;enln., nndl 'i\h:;nhl'n{:l‘c' mn;le‘nn was chatting gayly wii nds, i with-same abd poking others playfuily 4 the ribs hard enough to make them gasp. He is aimost boyish in his pranks, and has & cheery word for all within reach of his voice, making a friend as fast as he makes an acquaintance. In disposition, Maher is as much a fighter as in appearance, and he is gener- ally ver{ modest. Mention one of his battles in" his presence, and some par- ticularly excitine rally occurs to him, his eves flash and heis quite likely to illus- trate the blows deiivered planting similar ones on his suditor’s anatomy. Then, suddenly, he remembers that he not in the ring, and lapses into silence or changes the subject. I will back Peter to fight any man on earth, bar none,” said his manager while crossing the bay last evening. *‘Of course we are here to fight Choynski, and that matter must be disposed of first, but after that we will be ready for all coraers. *‘Of course coming here under the cir- [} JUSTICE FIELD RETURNS: The Reports of His Disabled Condition Vigorously De- nied.

THE RUSSIAN BAN T0 PLAY NO MORE Members to Take Passage Monday for. New York. PLAYED BUT TWO WEEK But They Were Not All Rus- sians, Hence Their Hasty Departure. MANAGER WALTER DECEIVED He Declares That the Agent Duped Him, but He Takes Magnan- imous Revenge. The little Russian band that has for the past two weeks been pouring forth melody at the Chutes will spiel no more, at least in San Francisco. They will pack up their trombones and castanets, their fifes and bass horns and hie themselves away to the city whence they were originally shipped—New York. They were to play a twelve weeks’ en- gagement, but in the very dawn of their advent they depart. There is a little story back of it all—the story of a disappointed manager. It ends happily though, for the agent at least, and the denouement is simply the complete dissolution of the reputed Russian band. It isnotin facta Russian band at all, but according to the statement of Man- ager Walter of the Orphenm a band made up of musicians whose nationalities are lezion and whose musical abilities are not invuinerable to criticism. “It was in this way,” said Mr. Walter Jast night. *‘I wasin New York last year and listened to & band of fifteen Russian musicians there under the leadership of Bchotoff. I wasenraptured. Their play- ing was magnificent. Their instruments simply whistled. Isaid to myself I will bring this band to San Francisco and create a furor. I accordingly telegrapbed when Larrived in this City to their agent, one Ormy, and told him to send me this band. He wired back they would soon be on the way. Iprocured atwelve weeks’ engage- ment forjthem at the Chutes. “Well, they came. They played for me, and had not finished the piece before I was convinced I had been shamefully deceived. I then addressed severa! of themn, asking them if they recognized me, but they did not. I finally discovered that only three of the original fifteen had been sent to me, the remaining twelve being picked up i East from among all classes of musicians. *“There are some fine musicians smong them, but they are not all Russians, and itis not the band I listened to with so much pleasure in New York City. “They are under a leader—Simonoff or Bimonson—with whom they have never played before. This is the cause of the whole trouble. It takes a recognized baton to lead an orchestra with success. 'hey plaved, but it was only erdinary i have decided not to brin the matter into the courts, which I coul do_ with successiul issue. I have simply &nid the fare of the poor fellows back to iew York, that they may not be here igle. The Chutes people have helped me in this. It has cost me altogether $3000. “The real fifteen I heard were members of the band of thirty-five musicians who came to the Worid's Fair at Chicago and played under the leadership of Damrosch. He failed with them, but Schotoff took fit- teen of them and had marvelous success. “They will play no more here, though. They leave Monday for New York.” ON EASTERN DIAMONDS.

The Pretticst Gawmes Ever Witnessed on Canadian Soil. QUEENS ROYAL, N1acarA Favis, Oxr., July 18.—The finest tennis ever witnessed on Canadian soil was that seen to-day when the ladies’ finals and the decisive match in the men’s singles for the Cana- dian championship cup were played. In the ladies’ match Miss Bessie Moore, champion of the United States, met Miss Atkinson, the ex-champion. It was the prettiest game imaginable and Miss At- kinson turned the tables on her conqueror of a few weeks ago by winning the Cana- dian championship, three sets to two, after a very hard-fought battle. The score was: 4—6, 6—1, 6—3, 2—6, 6—2. R. D. Wrenn, ex-chumpion of the United States, is now champion of Canada. This morning he won from Fischer in three straight sets: 6—1,6—3, 6—5. Although Fischer endeavored to set a bot pace Wrenn covered everything and showed magnificent form. The last set was very close, but at critical points Wrenn was found not wanting, A DI ER NATIONAL CIRCUIT CYCLING. Tom Cooper Again Reats Eddie Bald in @ One-Milo Open.
