NEW ROLLING STOCK ALSO TO BE ADDED. Several Fe:ders to Be Constructed ss Soon as Franchises Can B: Secured. Behrend Joost has abandoned all his alleged rights to redeem the San Mateo Railway and that property is now abso- lutely and completely owned by A. B. Spreckels, J. D. Spreckels, J. A. Buck, N. Ohlandt and others, who purchased it for $300,000 a year ago at a sale made by the receiver of the then insolvent corporation. Since then the company was reorgan- ized under the title of tne San Mateo Electric Ratlway Company, with officars | as follows: President, A. B. Spreckels; vice-president, J. A. I treasurer, Waiter Gibson; secreta; W. Clayton, and with J. D. Spreckels as the fifth director. Owing to apprehended legal entangle- | ments the road was simply operated as best it could be in the condition in which it was when the transfer was made, though it was realized that fl.ere was ample room for improvement. The line runs irom the | corner of Steuart and Market streets via | Harrison, Fourteenth, Guerrero, Chenery | and various othe minor sireets and the County road, beyond the County road San Mateo County, and on to Holy s Cemetery. Its entire length is about thirteen miles.

When all the contempiated improve- menis have been made the service will be more frequent, more rapid and more com- | fortable, and will offer every inducement to those living aloug the route 1o patronize the remodeled line. But the most important step that will be taken by the prssent owners will be | the constructio! fa number of feeders to | the main line in various portions of this County and also bevond the County line. While it is unqualifiedly stated that this plan 1s to be carried out, the details, in- | cluding even the preliminary steps for the feeders, have not yet been decided upon. The first work will be 10 secure the franchises for the proposed branch lines, and where the extensions are to be | built’ will depend largely upon where tranchises and rights of way can be most readily and favorably obtained. There is to be a meeting of the directors of the road to-morrow, st which many of the proposed improvements and exten- sions will be discussed and decided upon n detail. PURE-FOOD CRUSADE.

The Judge saia that as it was the first offense ne would not inflict the full pen- alty, but if the defendant appeared bafore him again and was convicted he would npc:. be so ienient. He imposed a fine of Attorney Reddy, for the defendant, ap- plied for a writ of habeas corpus before Judge Szwall, with the view of testng the constitutionality of the aduiterated-food act, and the defendant was released on $500 bonds. Hartter, previous to the trial of his case, filea an affidavit for a change of venue, alleging that he could not get & fi ympartial trial owing to the bias and vrejudice of the Judge, who, he allezed, had attended a meeting of the Board of Health and had stated there that he would convict in all cases.

British Bondholders Considered Rather Than the Claims of Humanity. Home Rule Must Remain in the Back- groun! for a Time B:cause of an Unfavorabe M jority. Michael Davitt, member of Parliament from Irelsnd, arrived in Oakliand last Sunday evening with his wife and chil- dren on a visit to bis wife’s aunt, Mrs. Canning, at 954 Sixteenth street. The party left London two weeks ago last Saturday. For nine years up to a yearsgo they bad opeen living at Bally- brack, County Dublin, a locality rich in | scenic beauties. For the past year they had been living | in London. Mr. Daviit was obliged to give up lus :ome in Ireland owing to his baving been elected to Parliament two years ago, and his duties asa member of tnat body requiring him to live in Lon- dan. They have come to California to gain health in the warm airs that come in tarough the Golden Gate. Mrs. Davitt and the children re- main in Oakland for a year or two, while Mr. Davite wiil be obliged to start for Lon- don within & few days. To a Tribune reporter Mr. Davitt said: “Iam bappy to say that we Irish mem- bers of the House of Commons were the first to move in the matter of parlia- mentary action in favor of the policy pur- sued by the King of Greece on this ques- tion. it was the Irish members who sug- gested and helped to carry through the memorial to the King of Greece which was signed by 100 members of the Hofise of Commons and dispatched to him ata critical moment five or six weeks ago. “This act of ours was fiercely denounced by the Goyernmentin the House of Com- mons, but we were satisfied that we rep- resented the overwhelming mass of popu- larteeling in Great Briiain and Ireland in | onr aciion; and Ism confident the mes- sage of encouragement which we sent to the King from the House of Commons | encouraged him to persevere in a policy which has the approval of all the friends of freedom in Europe. “The action of the English Government in this Eastern crisisis very reprehensi- ble. Itisaictated notby auy sincere wish to further the cause oi liberty in Crete, but by a wish to uphold what are called ‘British interests’ in Constantinople and Turkey. These interests are represented by some $100,000.000 oi English invest- ments. and Lord Sulisbary thinks more of the interests of Engiisb bondholders than of the liberty and rights of the Christian people of Crete in their struggle against an intolerable tyranny. =With reference to the home rule ques tion parliamentary action goes, in’ the back- iroung; but that will only be for a short time. Our opponents who are now in power have a majority of 140 in the House of Commons, and while they remain in office there is no chance of our obtaining such a measure of liberty as we demand. As I have already pointed ont, the Tories are so unpopular over their policy in the East that they would be defeated by an overwhelming majority if there couid be a general election immediately. I do not expect any such fortanate occurrence | as an immediate general election, as Lord Salisbury is under no constitutional obli- gation 10 resizn on _account of his blua- ders over the Cretan difficuity; but when ever he is compelled by choice or political circumstances to appeal to the electors of Great Briain and Ireland the Liberals, who are pledged to concede home rule to Ireland, will be returned 10 power, and we, the Irish members, will insist upon | their making home rule the first item of their legisiative programme.” “How do you find the Irish-Americans on the question of home rule!” was asked. “‘Well, I have found ir my intercourse with leaving Irish-Americans in New York and Chicago as I came along that interest in the national cause of Ireland is as keen as ever among our Iri<h-American Iriends in the United States. These iriends are, as a matter of course, disheartened at the divisions which have obtained during the last five or six years in the | ' old country. So long as these divisions exist it is not to be expected that we will obtain from sympathizers on this side of the Atlantic that measure ot hesrty support, which was given to us ten or tweive years ago, and by means of which assistance we were enabled .to make such splendid progress with our cause. I am satisfied, however, that when we are again reunited, as I expect we shall be within the next year or two, we will again obtain {rom our friends and kindred in the United States unsiinted eupport in our efforts 1o free Ireland from Euglish ruie and the curse of Irish landlordism. You may say o the readers of the Tribuna that'lam wvery hopeful of the future of the home- rule movement.'’ A new French cein will be shortly issued—value 25 centimes.

THIRD TIME WITHIN A MONTH. The Cash Drawer of the Creek Route Department Taken Bedily. AGENT M'CABE WAS AT HIS LUNCH. One Hundred ani Eight Dollars Se. cured—No Clew to the Maraud- ers Found as Yet. One of the boldest and most successful daylight robberies that have annoyed the police and the victims in some time past occurred on Saturd: last, when the ticket office of the creek route ferry at the foot of Market street was looted by snesk thieves. The office is situated outside of the main ferry building andj ust soutn of that structure, the back of the little house resting against the south end of the big building. A wide gate, through which teams pass on their way to the creek boats, leads to it and is lefi open at times during the day when the traflic is the heaviest, Atnoon on the day mentioned the rob- bers—their nnmber is not known—entered the office and carried away all of the cash representing the morning's receipts and made good their escape without being | discovered. Tney were not satisfied with taking the coin, which amounted to $108 and afew cents, but took the drawer in which it was econtained along with them. ‘The gate was open at the time and it is supposed that they went ont as they came in, mingling with~ the crowd of workmen on their way to their noonday meal, and then made their way away from the water 1ront to escape detection. The office is in charge of Ticket Agent McCabe, who was at lunch at the time the | robbery occurred. Mr. McCabe leaves an assistant to take { bis place while at lunch, and the supposi- | non is that the thieves, agent’s habits ana b out, waited until the a: knowing the and then 100k advantage of their oppor- | tunity 1o secure the money and escape. They left avsolutely no clew behind them | for the detectives to work on. “If any one gets any of the posts outly- | Tne similarity of this robbery to thi one that occurred at the Sausalito ferry some time ago, when a considerable sum was secured, has led 1o the belief that the same parties were concerned in both crimes. It is believed that the robbers will be located in hangers-on about the ferries who, being familiar with Mr. McCabe's daily routine and knowing that his relief was busy, saw that it would be easy to loot the place and escape. Detectives Silvey ana Hagan, who are on duty on the water front, are working diligently on the case, and while they have found no positive evidence, have two men under surveillance. The detectives of the raiiroad company are also busy searching for a clew to the robbers, be- ingnerved by tue fact that this 1s the third robbery of railroad ticket-offices that bas occurred within the past month. The first was at the Sausalito ferry, the second at Third and Townsend streets, and the third at the creek-route office. The loss falls particularly heavily on Agent McCabe, who will probably have 10 make good the amount taken uniess the money is recovered, which is quite improbable. BULLETS FLEW WIDE, Alice English, a Young Woman, Took Several Shots at an Ad- mirer, Miss Alice English, 8 young woman who resides in the Irvington rooming- house, 418 Eilis street, took a few shots at a young msan known as Cane, a gla- zier by occupation, iast Saturday evening, but fortunately for him the scare was the worstinjury he su ffered. The shooting, it is stated, was the cul- mination of an angry dispute between the actors in the tragic episode, Cane has for some time been a frequent visitor at rooms of the young womun, but of late their views on several questions relating to their future bappiness have materially disagreed. Saturday evening the couple met and quarreied, and at ihe climax of the dis- vute Alice Enghsh drew a revolver and fired three shots at Cane in rapid suc- cession. The bullets flew wide of their mark, and the intended target made a hasty exit. All tke parues airectly or indirectiy con- cerned in the controversy have appar- en:ly combined in an effort to keep the matier quiet. Consequently it is notat ail likely that any ar:ests will jollow. THE TEACHERS' CLU3.

LINCOLN A NAME T0 CONJURE WITH i Enthusiasm and Cash for the Monument Pro- _jzch Every Mail Brings Letters From Leading Men of the Nation. Commander-in-Chief of the Grand Army and State Superintendent of New York Schools Reply. The proposed monument in Golden Gate Park to the memory of Abraham Lincoln is enlisting the attention and enthusiasm of leading men of the United States. Every mail that arrives in San Francisco brings commendatory letters to W. W. Stone, president of the Lincoln Monu- ment League. Many of the letters inclose cash contributions for certificates. United States Senator George C. Perkins sub- scribed for two certificates—one for him- self and one for Mr. Stone—and signified tion to the monument in the future. Yesterday’s mail brought a letter from T. 8. Clarkson, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, as fol- lows: HEADQUARTERS GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC, ) OMAHA, Neb-., April 8, 189 W. W.

I wish a monument to tha martyred Lincoln & patriotic lesson to the children, but espe- from other countries. It is very appropriate that we should have a Lincoln day in all our public schools, when the chiidren may be especially impressed with the study of the character of that great man. This, however, should be on February 12 of each year, the ‘anniversary of his birth, Friday before Memorial day is devoied in very many of the States, and I hope soon to | seein all, to talk to the children by the ve'- rans of the war on the object and lessons of Memorial day that they may fully understand why we ask them to bring flowers snd why we decorate. Let the day be February 12, and let the good work go on. Command me. Very truly yours, T. S. CLARKSON, Commander-:n-Chief. Charles R.

Memorial day has come to be observed in this State more_generally than any other holi- jday, and particalarly by our schools. We have also another aay in Ma; served by our schools—Arbor day. 1 note that Memorial day this year falls upon Sunday, and of course it will be observed upon some other duy, no doubt in many schools on Friday, butin others on Monday. It has been the custom for many years for our chiidren to bring flowers to our schoolhouses for the use of the Grand Army memorial committees. I have no hesization in co-operating so far as possible with all organizations that desire 10 make a special effort in this direction this year. Many of our Grana Army people are in the habit, and have been for many years, of visiting our schools on that day and maxing appropriate add: shall be glad to hear from you further, and if I can be of any service in widening or deep- ening the interest in Memorial day exercises it will be & great pleasure to do so.

Moifitt Owns the Fastest Launch on the Bay. A Mode! of Neatness, Comfort and Art From the Figure- Head to the Flagstaff. Mapy New Iieas Never Before At- tempted on Pleasure Craft Built on th: Biy. The swiftest and coziest pleasure launch on the bay, the Augusta, has just been brought over to her moorings in the Oak- land estuary. She was built for Frank J. Moffitt of Oakland, and is the cleverest in every particularever built on this coast. Art and comfort predominate from the very stem. The figurehead is an original carved figure and the scroll work from it follows along either side of the bow for many feet, forming a rail to the forward deck. Immediately abait the forward bulkhead is a semi-circular pilot-house, By a neat | little ‘wheel the pilot handles the craft | while being enabled to keep a sharp look- | ont nearly all around the horizon. Next to the pilot-honse, on the star- board side, is the engine-room, in which there is & powerful piece of machinery, capable of propelling the craft thirtesn | miles an hour. It is a gasoline engine, one of the latest patterns of 1897, with ail the improvements and perfections sug- gested by the engineers who have had ex- | perienee with that modei. As a result the machinery is-almost silent. The saloon is, as it should be, the piece de resistance of the boat. Al around are large windows from which guests can re- ceive the full pleasure of the view without any of the unpleasantness of wind or | spray. The window. hung with pretty | curtains, which are chosen to match the delicately patterned carpet on the floor and the richly corduroy upholstered cush- ions which are placed on either side. A pretty shude of olive green has been chosen for the upnolstery, and it presents a charming harmony of color with the richly polished mahogany wainscoting, which is used all over, not only thesaloon, | but every portion of the boat. While within all is suggestive of com- fort and ease, without everything is indi- cative of strength, and the Augusta could certainly stand a very heavy stretch of bad weather without in any way doing hersel! any injury or causing any discom- fort to those on board. D. M. Vanwart, the designer, in laying | her lines, departed somewhat from the old conservative modeis and chose a | design which experience bas suggested is | best fitted for a pleasure craft. The exact measurements of the Augusta are: Ex- treme length 38 feet 6 inches, beam 7 teet | 6 inches, average depth 4 feet 6 inches. | Thedraught of water, owing to the novel | lines on which the keel is laid, is 2 feet & | nches forward and 3 feet 8 inches aft.
