ANGRY UNION PRINTERS Sacramento Typos Denounce As- persions Cast Upon the State Office. Dec'are That the Management of the Institution Is in Every Way Above Reproach. SACRAMENTO, CaL. Aug. 18.—Typo- graphical TGnion No. 46 held a special meeting to-night at Trades Union Hall to consider the resolutions adopted at the Fresno convention reflecting on the man- agement of the State Printing Office. Sev- eral members denounced the resolutions and characterized them as malicious and unfounded. After thoroughly discussing the subject the following resolutions were adopted : WxEeREAS, State Typographical Union No. 6, which met in the city of Fresno on August 13 and 14, 1896, adopted resolutions, in one of which the following language appears: “It has been brought to our notice that the Cali- fornia_State, Printing been con- ducted in a thanner that reflects discredit on the craft of this State; and, whereas, the sub- ject-maiter of said resolution has never been canvassed or discussed by any of the subordi- nate unions represented at said State Typo- graphical Union, and the delegates thereto had never been instructed to consider or take action in relation thereto; and whereas, Siate Typographical Union therefore acted without officiel information or authority in the passage of such a resolution, in which the integrity of fellow-craitsmen in good anding is zru;iwusly and publiclyi assailed with- out investigation and without cause; and wheress, such action by the State Typo- graphical Union could have only been induced by the most malicious misrepresentations and untruthful assaults upon the integrity and good name of our local craftsmen, inspired, as We believe, by some one who imagines that he has a grievance against the present State Printer, Hon. Ai J. Johnson; therefore, be it Resolved, That Sacramento Typographical };‘mo: No. 46, in ;:nee!lng :ssizn&l:a,ndoes ereby disclaim being & party unwar- ranted attack on orz-xflu labor made by the Btate Typographical Union at Fresno, and also | d to-night the grand marshal hours’ deliberaiion, it was discharged | by the court, standing six for conviction | and six for acquittal.

The regular venire | was exhausted without securing any jury- men, and a special venire of forty was issued, returnable next Thursday at 10 o’clock. Oldham was once convicted of | robbery, but on appeal a new trial was ordered by the Supreme Court. He has serveda one year at Folsom of a term of twelve to which he was sentenced.

SAUSALITO, CaiL., Aug. 17.—A hop will be given at the Pacific Yacht Club to- morrow by the officers of the United States steamer McArthu “C¢P.TAL AS AN AGENT” Instructive Discussion of the Subject by the Political Economy Club. The Political Economy Club held an interesting meeting last night at 15 South Park, J. Munsell Chase in the 'chair. Professor Carl C. Plehn of the University of California read a well prepared paper on “Capital as an Agent of Production,” at the conclusion of which several mem- bers joined in the discussion of the gues- tion. After defining capital as goods used in the procuction of other goods, Professor Plebn showed that the recent financial disturbance was due not toa lack of money in the country but to a faure of faith among the owners of money, which caused them to hoard rather than to invest their capital. This contraction caused the hard times, as it ever will. The Political Economy Club decided to hold meetings weekly until next Novem- ber, in order to give opportunity for the discussion of the many phases of the financial question, now so prominent a factor in the present politica campaign. it was also decided to take action looking to the formation of a library of economic science, and to this end a contribution of pooks and pamphlets relating to economic questions is solicited. The next meeting of the club will be beld on Tuesday evening next, at the Methodist Episcopal Church on Howard street, at 8 o’clock. Colonel John P, Irisn and Edward F. Adams will discuss the silver question, Colonel Irish taking the side of gold and Mr. Adams the opposite. The meeting will be public. FRUIT MEN ARE NOW JUBILANT, Granted the Exclusive Use of Jackson-Street Wharf. NAPA BOATS TO MOVE. They Will in Future Be Ac- commodated at the Pacific- Street Pier. CHANGES IN THE FERRY DEPOT Chief Engineer Holmes Objects to Any Alteratione Being Made in the Plans. - Fruit-growers, commission merchiants and owners of river steamers were in evi- dence at yesterday’s meeting of the Har- bor Commissioners. They one and all Street Wharf, asserted that the accommodation provided at Jackson-street whart was inadequate for the nandling of the Sacramento River produce and one and all joined in a plea that Pacific-street wharf should be as- signed to them. John D. ‘Spreckels, on behalf of the Oceanic Steamship Com- pany, interposed an objection. He said his vessels would require both sides of Pa- cific-street wharf while the Folsom-street structure was being rebuilt. He was offered the sole use of the Lombard-street pier, but pointed out that ocean steamers could not lie there for any length of time with safety. The discussion was started by a com- munication signed by over forty fruit- dealers and commission merchants. In it they stated that the present facilities were totaliy inadequate for the handling of the fruit and zeneral produce that comes from the interior during this season of the year. Captain Neison of the California Trans- portation Company made a strong plea for more room. ‘“When we first started run- ning steamers on the Sacramento River all the fruit that came down could be handled in one truck,” said he. “Now we bring down daily over 500 tons and a third of it rots on the wharf because the wagons ,cannot get down to handle it. Morning after morning East street is blocked be- cause there is so much fruit piled up on the wharf that the teams cannot move around and take it away. We handle the fruit from five counties and over 300 ship- s send their fruit to this market en our oats. Fally 300,000 people are supplied from Jackson-street wharf and there is not a pier on ghe water front that turns as much revenue into the board’s treasury. ‘While ocean —steamers should be en- couraged I think that interior travel has the first call on the Commissioners.” James McDonough, of McDonongh & Runyon, presented the commission mer- chants’ side of the question. ‘“We must have move room,” said he. ‘At the pres- ent time we cannot even give the fruit away, because there is no room on the wharf in which to handle it. I am not particular as to which wharf you give us, 80 long as we get one wnarf all to our- selves. If we can get Pacific-street, so much the better; if we cannot, then let us have Jackson street.” ‘Pacific-street wharf has been rented to the Oceanic Steamship Company,” inter- posed Commissioner Uole. ‘‘Perhaps we can make some arrangements with Mr. Spreckels. Is there no other wharf you can move to while Folsom is being rebuilt for you?" *We have made all our arrangements to move to Pacific street,’’ was the answer, ~and I don’t think there is any wharf on the front thet would suit us as well.”” “How would Lombard-street wharfdo?"’ asked Commissioner Colnon. *“The rep- resentatives of the Japanese steamshi line I;:v"e expressed themselvesas sati with it. “Lombard street is all right for a short time, but the position is too ex: fora vessel to lie there for ten days or a fort- night,” was the answer. “‘Nevertheless I am willing to do everything in my power. Still I consider Pacific street the only available place for the Oceanic Steam- ship Company’s vessels.” *J. F. English addressed the board and asked for the use of Jackson street if Pa- cific could not be secured. He pointed out that two of the Oceanic Company’s steamers could he docked there and still room be left for several river steamers. He suggested that the Napa boats and the Caroline be docked at Pacific and all of Jackson given up to the Sacramento iver boats. g Chief Wharfinger Root explained that the Sacramento River boats had at the resent time almost the entire use of gnckson-street wharf. After a few moments’ thought President Colnon said: “I think some concessions must be made, Mr. Spreckels. We will provide accommodations for your Aus- tralian and Hawaiian steamers and your tugs must remain at Howard street. Then the Napa_and other small river boats can dock in the space that was de- signed for the tugs. In order to protect you the commission Will provide a watcu- man and will have one of the fireboats with steam up at the wharf every night. These farmers and fruitmen have a big call on us and we must do all we can for them.”” by Mr. Spreckels at once gave in and the matter was settled. ‘‘Then we are to have Jackson-street wharf entirely 2"’ queried Mr, McDonough. ‘“‘Certainly,” said Mr. Colnon, and the fruitmen were more than pleased. It was also expressly stated that Pacific-street wharf bhad been built for the fruit trade and as soon as Folsom-street wharf was rebuilt and the Oceanic Steam- ship Company moved back there Pacific street would be turned over to them, The Commissioners mnext took up the proposed changes in the new ferry build- ing. The first three were disposed of in short order, as Chief Engineer Holmes showed conclusively that the laie A. Page Brown had provided in his plans for all the emergencies. In order to improve tho appearance of the buiding Architect Swain wanted the pilasters left out. This the commission did not consider a neces- sary change and refused to entertain it. The proposal to change the angles that will fasten the ironwork to the stone and G000 AND BAD SOLDIERS Report of Captain F. de L. Car- rington on the State Militia. Officers Should” Be Paid and Not Elected, and Cavalry Should Be Disbanded. Captain F. de L. Carrington has sub- mitted to the assistant adjutant-general his report of his inspection of the Nationa!l Guard of the State. He makes several im- portant suggestions, among them that captains (and lieutenants when cam- manding company) should receive pay for cheir services. Not less than $30 per month, lieutenants with company $10 per month, and first sergeants $15 per month. He estimates that this would require an appropriation of just $47,520 as the guard is not constituted. He does not think the elective method of obtaining officers is the best, because personal feelings enter so largely into the matter of the choice. The report says:. The guard, so far as the ordinary company drill goes, is generally well instructed, but the proficiency varies very much in the different companies of each regiment, especially where they are separated, A number of companies appeared to poor advantage, as will be seen below. While some companies will naturally excel others, there should be no such marked difference as exists between the best and poor- est companies of each regimeunt. After careful consideration of the condition in which each company was found at_the inspection, as to drill, discipline, soldierly appearance, etc., I find the infantry companies stand as follows, assuming the maximum to be 5: ’ Excellent—Company B, Seventh Infantry, the change in the steel brackets and iron plates were also rejected. The proposed changes would have cost an exzn‘? 5 and as Mr. Holmes showed that they would not add to the stability of the building they were one and all rejected. At the same time Architect Swain was in- structed to prepare detail drawings for the completion of the work as designed by A. Page Brown. The trouble over the misfit of the iron- work of thenew depot has been traced to its source, and it may seem strange tc re- late that in making a copy of Architect Brown’s original plans for use of the Ris- don Iron Works the copyist mistook the numerical figure 3 for a figure 5 and with a stroke of the pen practically moved the big structure two feet beyond the limit prescribed for it on the finished founda- tion. Superintendent of construction Robert- son and Chief Engineer Holmes have worked over the plans for several days and arenow able to announce that the depot building wili not suffer damage from the miscalculation.

It will be noticed that the Seventh In- fantry holds the first and last places on the list, Company B the best and Com- pnng A the worst in the State. The three signal corps are given much credit, and stand in the following ‘order of merit: First, Second 'Brigade, 82n Fran- cisco; second, First Brigade, Los Angeles; third, Third Brigade, Sacramento. With regard to the cavalry the report says: i It is difficult in the National Guard to bring cavalry up to a high standard of efficiency, and itis very expensive. I think it would be of much more benefit to the Siate to maintain less cavalry and more infantry. To thatend I would recommend the mustering out of two of the troops now in existence and the organiza- tion of four companies of infantry in toeir stead. There would be no increase of expense; and then ii would be practicable to organize another eight-company éghnuy relgmem by taking four companies one of the twelve- compeny regimeuts, preferably the Seventh, as the First Brigade but one regiment, and should have at ieast two. If this is not done I would recommena that the Los Angeies troop be disbanded and alight battery of four guns beorganized and equipped with moderu steel guns, to be locsted at San Francisco or Los Angeles. At present there is no artillery, and no serviceable guns-except Gatlings, and there should undoubted? e one well-equipped battery as a part of the State forces. X ¥ s If four troops of cavalry are continued in service it might be well'to form them into a Ditee 1t n commend ol s major or. lentsnan ace it in command of & or lie &lflonel, who should be a man well suited for _the position. 7 The report makes the following ot her important recommendations: The guard is badly in need of a proper field equipment, ally < overcoats, blankets, shelter-tents, canteens, haversacks, tin cups, meat-ration cans, knives, forks and spoons, as well as company fleld cooking outfits, Buzzacot ovens, or camp-kettles, messpans, etc. No time should be lost in -usglylns them. i and prapet Iagislation 100Kng to ¢ shouId and proper .
