After viewing the big sient ma- chinery and listening to some interesting | technical explanations of itand of some part cularly duradle valuable appliances the company, numbering twenty persons, including the City officials, the engineers, and press representatives, ook possession of seven livery couveyances and the drive began back to San Mateo and thence up into the hulls to the great um that spans a canyon and holds beuind it 19,000,000,000 | gallons of water. How much water there is back of that towering wall of concrete is littie suggested by the first view, though yestarday the overflow alone formed a rushing moun- | tain siream thatdashed down tha canyon | up which the road leads to the base of the | dam. Pouringin a thin, foamy sheet as | vide as a San Francisco street, the kxfl cess water raced and tumbled down tie acting as personal host. | | by the directors. The water for this City is drawn off from the bottom of a hollow concrete tower, standing out in the lake and reaching above the surface. It i« furnished with three - gates, 40, 80 and 120 feet from the bottom of the res r- voir. During the roily’ water period of winter the upper gate is opened and a surface supply 1s drawn off, but during the summer, when the surface water becomes heated and less tresh, the bottom gate is opened. Driving by an easy winding grade to the top of the reservoir, the purty crossed the dam on the planked roadway, and fol- lowing for five miles the border of thelake came 10 the directors’ ciubhouse, a simple but comfortable little affair, where luncheon was served. Engineer Schussler made an excellent clam chowder, and two of the company’s carpeniers proved them- selves good cooks. Before luncheon Mayor Phelan ch: lenged Supervisor Clinton to a jumping maten. They chose a favorable incline and soon cast aside coats and hats for the contest, but before they had gone much beyond the six-foot mark Supervisor Mor- ton entered the event and Supervisor Britt followed. Then came Supervisor Rottanzi, just re- turned irom an_attempted row in a leaky boat near by. His first jump was a poor one and he excusad himself, with the re- mark that he had seen better days, but now weighs 202 pound: Again and again he jumped, each time doing a littie better, until the discom: tited Mayor, the smaliest one of the con- testants, bad to acknowledge himself beaten, while the elated Dr. Rottanzi strutied about gleefully deciaring that “south of Market street” held the cham- pionship, and he even went so far as to challenge Supervisors Sheenan and Hi kins, who just then arrived in & carriage, having missed the earlier train from the City. At luncheon Mayor Phelan, not yet recovered from his festive athletic turn, bet Dr. Clinton $20 to $15 on the prize- fight, taking Corbett and the big end. Dr. Clinion 'mmediately made a similar bet with Dr. Morse. On the homeward drive San Andreas reservoir was visited. L. holds at present 4,000,000,000 gallons. There was not time tc visit the Pilarcitos reservoirs, further back in the hiiis and containing about a fourtn as much as the San Andreas reser- voir. Emerging finally f-om the picturesque hills the procession of carriages stopped at S8an Bruno, there to await the train for the City. Every one seemed content with the prospect and the condition of the waters, and Mayor Phelan remarkea that the pity ;8 that San Francisco has not the populia- ion that its water sources are capable of Lupplyng. MORE TIOKETS-OF-LEAVE. The Board of Prison Directors Consider Application for Parole. At a regular meeting of the Board of Prison Directors yesterday, at the request of Director Wilkins, the sentence of death acainst the Cummings brothers was prac- tically commuted to imprisonment for life, Wilkins brought the matter before the board, after which it was considered The idea was passed upon favorably and it was understood Governor Budd will indorse the action.

Tnis cup will become the permanent property of the team having earned the highest percentace during the season. Tt is an example worthy of all commen- dation that the proceeds of the first garue of the series be devoted to charity, and it is to be hoped that, witk this object in view, the pleasure-loving and charitable public of San Francisco will turn out in tull force.

The overflow at present, because the great reservoir is filled to the maximum, is 50,000,000 gallons a day, something greater than 30,000 gallons a minute.

Their Champions at Washington Are Cheer=d and Sp:akers Predict a N:w Era for Poor Jack The twelfth anniversary of the organiz- ation of the sailors’ union was celebrated iast evening in a fashion that must leave a strong and favorable impression among all who witnessed it. Formed in four companies, bearing torches and dressed in neat uniforms the sailors marched from their headquarters on East street shrough the principal streets and back to the headquarters. In front of the lumber- yard on East street where the organiza- tion was effected twelve years ago the men stopped and gave three rousing cheers. Then they moved-on to the headguar- ters, at the corner of Mission stieet. The proces.ion was headed by u band and made a fine appearance. It was under command of Ed Anderson, grand mar- shal. The advance guard was com- manded by Ed Lundstrom, and the four companies were commanded by: Frank Johnson, First; R. Sandberg, Second; ‘Thomas Finneriy, Thira; F. Joranson, Fourth. The American flag was conspicuous, as were alsO a number of transparencies, bearing pointed mottoes, as for instance: *“The United States Supreme Court construes the laws; the people make them.*We carry our case up."" “The people are With us.” “We never give up the ship.” “You require us in peace and war.,” “We demand the right to own ourselves; our cause is the cause of all American citizens.” “In 1862 Lincoln prociaimed all persons free. In 1897 the Un ted States Supreme Court de- clared the seaman a sert.” “In 1856 Dred Scott decision; reversed by the people 1861-65. In 1897 Arago decision; will be reversed by the people.’” “In 1790 fugitive sailor lfw passed. In 1793 fugiiive slave law passed.’” “Shoulder to shoulder for sailors’ rights.” ““We are the connecting links of commerce.” The procession moved from East to Marke Montgomery, Pint Kearny, Market, Fifth, Hownni, Steuart, Kast to tne hall. Assembled in the hall the grand marshal took the platform and called the meeting to order. “In the name of the Sailors’ Union of the Pacific,” he said, “I bid ail friends welcome to the celebration of the twelfth anniversary of the organization of the Sailors’ Union. On the night of the 6th of March, 1885, in the iumber-yard at Folsom and East streets, the Saiiors’ Union of the Pacific Coast, iu the rain and by the light of & candle, made its dec- laration of independence. We have been steadfast ever since. Although we follow the sen we are men, and we have gathered here to celevrate the forming of an organization that proposes 10 see sailors’ rights preserved.” The marshal paid a tribute to the fine appearance and orderly conduct of the Schilling’s Best Japan tea is 50 cents a pound. . Your money back if you don't like it— at your grocer’s. A Schilling & Com; San Francisco men. Especially he complimented Cap- 1ain Lidstrom and his aavance guard, ail of which was heartily re«vonded to. He then introduced W. MacArthur, editor of the Coast Seamen’s Journal, as chairman of the meeting. The chairman said they had come together to take their soundings as an organization and would then square away for another year’s voyace. He had pre- dicted a year ago that the seamen would, in the year following, gain a victory, and in the practical defeat of Senator Frye's bill (in having amended away its objec- tionable features) and in defeating the proposed repeal of the Maguire law, the victory had been gained. He read a communication from Secre- rary Andrew Furuseth, now in Washing- ton, concerning the Supreme Court de- cisions in the Arago case, which he said was the most terrible in its import since the Dred Scot decision. - Alfred Fuhrman was introduced as the first speaker. Now a practicing attorney he was once a sa1lor before the mast and was one of the charter members of the union and one of its earliest officers. He-drew a sharp comparison bstween the days of 1885 and those of 1897. In the eariy days no Mayor took part in their meetings, no United States Senators sent messages of encouragement, but the poticeman’s club continually rattled about their heads for daring to assert a claim to manhood. They were alone and friendless. With such odds against them they overcame ob- | stacles unul now they are in a position commanding respect and demanding their rignts. ‘or this result he zave the chief credit to their newspaper—the Coast Seamen’s Journal. Thomas Naylor, also a charter member of the union, made a brief address, telling the saiiors not to forget the flag, and con- cluded with a’comic song. James H. Barry was warmly applauded when he was introduced. He took excep- tion to Mr. Fuhrman’s statement that ihere was any time when the sailors had no friends. Tha sailors had stanch friends who were willing to stand up for them as soon as they were willing to stand up for themseives. God helps those who help themseives. Friends had increased in number-as theseanen had fought for their own cause. Friends had arisen in the halls of Congress for poor | Jack, led by California’slittle giant, James G. Maguire. Times were changing, he said, asd the sailors, faithfal to their union, would see the time when they would nc longer be called poor Jack, but would be called rich Jack—rich in the strengh of their manhood. He took oc- casion to very sharply criticize the Police Department. The patrolmen, ke said, were generaliy honest men, but his criticism, he said, was directed atthe head of the detective de- parument. He bade the sailors 1o be of good cheer, as a better time was coming for them. Thomas H. Mathias read a couple of pretty verses of his own composition, urzing the union “onward.” Hermann Guistadt made a telling ad- dress in which he declared the strengih of the Seamen’s Union was the wonder of all trades unions. The nature of the work of the seaman, calling him here to-day and away to-morrow, made it appear impos- sible to those who . understood trades unions shat they could succeed in form- ing much less maintaiming a successful union. In having done so she Coast Sea- men’s Unionr had done more good for labor throughout the world .than any other one union that he knew of. ‘Thomas Naylor did some more clever and warmly abplaudea songs and recita- tions and then the acting secretary of the union, L. Hoey, made a brief address, in which he said the union was at work and would never Yuit until that work was done. Rousing cheers were given for the union, for the speakers of the evening and for the secretary of the union, Andrew Furuseth, now in Washington working for the sailors’ interests there. The meet- ing adjourned amid much entbusiasm. Independent Order of Foresters. Court Morris Vineyard of Los Angeles gave an entertainment and ball last Wednesday* which proved to be very successful, more tuan 500 persons being present.
