Military Organizations Prepar- ing to Address the Legislature. Strong Reso' utions Passed by the Oakland Republican Munici- pal Convention. The introduction into the Legislature of a bill making an approprirtion of $15,000 to erect a monument in Golden Gate Park to the memory of Colonel E, D, Baker has aroused the greatest enthusiasm, and the iriends of the monument project see nothing but success abead. The measure was placed in charge of Senator Stratton and Assemblyman Way- mire, -and they have already gained so many adherents that its passage by both branches of the Legislature is now deemed a certainty. To make assurance doubly sure, however, those who have been work- ing on the project are losing no opportu- nity to press its claims. The first definite movement to raise a fund for a monument to the distinguished soldier began in 1891, when the Colonel E. D. Baker Monument Association, consis ing of prominent firms and individuals all over the State, was formed. Its avowed object was to raise a sufficient sum to erect a suitable tribute to Colonel Baker’s memory. The following were charter| members: Colonel A. Andrews, Fred Adams, Judge J. P. Ames, H. T.

Sme Although energetic efforts were made to raise the fund, the public did not respond s0 generously as was expected, and the money came in slowly. Then it was de- cided to one:\l to the Legislature for aid, and the bill mentioned was drafted. It provides for three Commissioners to take charge of the fund and see that the monument i3 of a suitable character and tie best that the appropriation will pro- viue. The aim is to gain as many votes in the Legislature as possible before the biil comes up for passage. The Republican municipal convention of Oakland at its recent meeting passed the following reso- %2 ‘The Grave of Colonel E. D. Baker. his memory and deeds, and as an example to the rising generation of his patriotism, of love of country; and therefore be it Resolved, That we ask the Legislature to pass the said bill without deba‘e or controversy, in order that the monument may be erected as an example of the love and gratitude which the citizens of California besr to their friend in the time of war and turmoil, and as a tribute to the gifted orator whose silent voice with that of the immortal Starr King and others was ever raised in behalf of the down- irodden and oppressed of every land. The Sons of Veterans, Army and Navy League and Loyal Legion have taken the matter up with a will and will not only give it their heatry indorsement, but will ask their members to address all of the legislators known to them, Meetings of all of these organizations are to be held in the near future to take | steps in the THE NICARAGUA CANAL, Messages of Encouragement Received From Law-Makers in Wash- ington. atte The public-spirited people of S8an Fran. cisco who have labored for the interests of | the Nicaragua canal project believe now that their efforts have not been in vain. The matter is now under consideration at Washington, and the people of this City have on several occasions signified their wishes for the completion of the canal. Among these was the Merchants’ Asso- ciation, which body recently passed reso- lutions favoring the canal. A few days ago & mass-meeting under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce adopted sim- ilar resolutions, On all such occasions copies of the reso- lutions were forwarded to the Pacific favorable answers have been received. Among the recent answers. was one to the Merchants’ Association from Congress- man Hilborn as follow I have the nonor to acknowledge the receipt of a copy of the resolutions, adopted by your N heartity in accord with icaragua canal. 1 assure you resolutions, and shall leave nothing undone to secure the early completion of this most important matter. = Very truly, . G. HILBORN. A few days ago the Chamber of Com- merce held a rousing mass-meeting of business men, at which Mayor Phelan presided. Similar resolutions were passed and sent to Washington, D. C. The first reply to these was a dispateh sent by Wil- liam H. Doolittle of the State of Washing- ton, who has been an astive worker in the cause. He wired as follow: WASHINGTON, D. C., January 20. Hon. James D. Phelan: 1 very deevly appre- ciate the kind words contained in your mes- sage. They encourage me to additional effort. The Nicaragua canel means permanent pros- perity to our coast and most beneficial resuits 10 all industries and commerce of our country. Our Senators and Representatives will make every effort possible to accomplish legislation insuring the canal during this Congress. WiLLTAM H. DOOLITTLE. —_—— Bello Nava Is Sick.

A Rumor That the Pacific, Owned by Alvinza Hayward, Wil Soon Start Up Again. The gold district of Amador County centering about Plymouth 1s, from all a2- counts, having rather lively times at present. It is said that everybody is at work there, and that good ledges are being opened in properties which bhave hitherto for a long time been idle. Every hotel in the camp is full. A new hotel has recently been completed in order to accommodate the people. C. Elwood Brown of this City, who with Attorney W. W. McNair and others is en- gaged in pushing work on the Gowanus mine, in the Plymouth district, gives a very cheering account of the condition of things among the miners. Mr. Brown has been there for some time past, and has recently come down to spend a few days at his bome here. He is president of the Gowanus Gold Mining Company. “‘Everything is moving along in a steady and satisfactory way in the Plymouth dis- trict,”” said Mr. Brown yesterday. *Itis active, no matter which way you turn.

Many shares of stock are yet unsold, and it will require an additional number of re- cruits to raise sufficient funds to procure the necessary shipping to put the enter- prise afloat. . e MANUFAQTURERS' ASSOOIATION. Speaker Reed Asked to Take Up the Southwick Convict Bill, A special meating of the directors of the Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Associa- tion was held yesterday for the particular purpose of electing two directors to fill the vacancies caused by the resignation of H. J. Crocker and Michael McGlynn. President Julian Sonntag presided. Di- rectors A. McLaughlin, W. F. Bowers, J. P. Currier, A. Sbarboro, M. J. Keller and J. W. Kerr were present. he nominating committee recom- mended as the new directors Isidor Jacobs of 425 Brannan street and Charles R. Allen of 144 Steuart street. These gentlemen were at once elected. President Sonntag read the letter of Congressman_Southwick of New York which was published in THE CALL yester- day, in which he said Sveaker Reed does not seem inclined to favor the bill relat- ing to the transportation of and branding goods made by conviets in the Eastern penitentiaries. Mr. Kerr made a statement saying there are large Eastern capitalists interested in | its defeat, and if the Labor Committee of the House is not recognized the bill will never be submitted. There is money, Mr. Kerr said, back of the opposilior, for those who are making large profits out of convict Jabor are not going to let the measure come up to spoil their profits. California suffers more than any of the other States from prison-made goods, and something should be done. There- fore he offered a resolution that Speaker Reed be requested to recognize the Labor Committee and give that body a chance to introduce the bill; also that the state of affairs be submitted to the labor unions of 8an Francisco and their co-operation asked in this very important matter. Both resolutions were passed. Director Sbarboro called attention to the fact that complaints bad been made that the Sanitary Reduction Works of San Francisco are to get their boilers from the East. He desired to state that the company haa purchased California- made boilers and would fit up its entire garbage reduction works from California materials. A vote of thanks was extended to that company by the directors for the preference its officers had given for Cali- fornia-made goods and materials, ————— OAKLAND COREEK BRIDGE. Conference to Take Place Between Rail- road Officials and Supervisors, Next week a conlerence will be held be- tween Southern Pacific Railroad officials and the Supervisors of Alameda County in regard 10 the long-delayed combination railroad, wagon and foot bridge across Oakland Creek between Oakland and A| meda. Among the railroad officials who will attend the conference are General Manager J. Krattschnitt and W. G. Cur- tis, engineer of maintenance of right of way. The question of plans and the pro- portionate expense to be borne by the rail- road and the county will be discussed and considered. Several Alameda County Su- pervisors have been down to Sacramento recently inspecting the combination bridge there across the Bacramento River. CASTORIA For Infants and Children Er] G Y Tho fao~ simile siguature, JURORS MAY GET THEIR MEALS YET Superior Judges Will Disregard the Super- visorial Ukase. In a Good Round Hand Notice Was Yesterday O ficially Served. An Issue Is Made Up Point Blank in a Matter Which May Be More Discussed Later. The jurcrs in criminal cases in the Superior Court departments may not go bungry after all. The Board of Super- visors at their meeting last Monday hav- ing first fortified themselves with advice as to the matter adopted a resolution, in which they called attention of the Judges of the Superior Court *‘to the determina- | tion of this board to allow no demands on the treasury for meals furnished to jurors subsequent to February 1, 1897.” The reason furnishea for this determina- tion of the Supervisors was that compen- sation is now allowed to jurors for attend- ance at the rate of $2 per diem. This notice to the Superior Court Judges was expected to have a deterrent effect upon appetites which otherwise might be made to assume uncommonly robust propor- tions in view of the lunches to be provided and heretofore provided at the expense of the public. 1t goes with the saying that this measure of economy caused certain more or less well-defined shivers to run up and down the spines of those who have the selection of the proper kind of timber for jurors. However the measure was one of economy and was supposed to *'go,’” having the stamp of official approval upon it. i Yesterday Judge Carroll Cook, having thought the matter over and having con- sulted with other Judges of the Superior Court, preferred a communication which was addressed to the Board of Supervisors: In every county in the State where jurors have always been paid for attendance in criminal cases their meals have been uni- formly furnished by the county. I wouid also say that when a jury has been deiivered into the charge of the Sheriff the 1aw requires that they should be kept together, and the court would not be justified in keeping them to- gether over meal hours without nourishment; nor would the court be authorized to require the Sheriff to compel those wno did not nave the means to defiay the expenses of & meal to accompany others for such purpose. I have consulted other Judges of this courtin this manner, and it is the sense of all with whom 1 have so consulted that, notwithstanding the fact that jurors are compensated for their service, meals must be furnished them at the expense of the City and County. The resolu- tion, & copy of which you sent tome, there- fore must be disregarded. The anal words describe the situation. The resolution will be disregarded, jurors will be provided with meals as heretofore and either the Supervisors must recede or meet an issue. WANT ANOTHER GAME. Lick School Challenges Y. M. C.

M. C. A. players, provided that such grounds are within the limits of the City. The officials of such game shall be jointly agreed upon by the managers of both teams. The above challenge is issued by us In view of the fact that it is the generai opinion that last Saturday’s game between the Y. M. C. A. and C. 8. M. A. (Lick) was won by the former team only by & chance fumble, and not by any superior skill in playing by the said Y. M. C. A. team.
