We cannot do too much for the men who are now on their way to re-enforce Admiral Dewey in Manila Bay. A better dis- tributing channel could not be secured than through the Red Cross Society. 1 feel certain that a fair on the plans | outlined would prove a great and grand | financial success. A. B.

JOHN J. KENNEDY, attorney— There cannot be any question as to the success of a fair on the lines suggested by The Call.

Let thou- fagag=gegututat=] vartment of the United States army against the merchants of this coast seems to have caused these officials to assume the defensive; also to give a little “taf- fy.” After a meeting of the big commer- cial bodies of this city a few weeks ago a resolution was sent to the Pacific Coast representatives at Washington asking them to call the injustice to the atten- tion of the proper department. The res- olution has brought out this reply, which has just been recelved by the Chamber of Commerce: WASHINGTON, June 9. Hon. George C. Perkins: I have the honor to acknowledge the receint of your letter of the 6th inst., also copy of resolutions adopted at a Joint meeting of the trades associations of San Francisco whereln it is claimed unjust di ¢rimination has been made against the Pacifl ‘oast. In reply I beg to call your attention to the letter from this office of the 26th ultimo upon the subject, and to state that so far as shoes are concerned this department wired San Francisco to know what could be had for im- mediate delivery for troops about to leave for Manila. Reply came: “‘Can secure immediate delivery of about 6000 shoes, about standard weight, but With brass scréws.” As brass- screwed shoes have proved unsatisfactory for use of troops a sufficient supply to meet the exlgting emergency was forwarded from stock on hand at Philadelphia and Chicago. - In regard to the matter of furnishing supplies generally, 1t should be stated that so far from the Pacific Coast being discriminated against, it has been most liberally treated. Many regi: ments rafsed in_the East are being equipped on the Pacific Coast. The excellent facilities | which the Coast offers for securing large | amounts of supplies are appreciated, and this department is taking advantage of them to the fullest extent practicable. Respectfully, M. 1. LUDINGTON, Quartermaster General, U. §. A. ‘This is all right in its way, but it does not explain why the army’s purchasing agent in the East bought the shoes from the millionaire Wanamaker at_ prices in excess of what the same goods were offered for in this city. While the Gov- ernment objected to screws in the shoes here its agents in the East bought Wan- amaker's shoes, screws and all, and found no fault that said screws were of brass. Howevyer, the action of the meet- ing mentioned and the correspondence evi- dently set the responsible officials to thinking a little. —_——— Held for Burglary.

PENRHYN CASTLE ARRIVES UNDERWRITERS UNEASY AT HER LONG VOYAGE. | Healy, Tibbitts & Co. Want the Har- bor Commissioners to Help Them Out on Their Green Street Contract. | She The French bark Marguerite Molinas has just completed the quickest trip of the season between San Francisco and Great Britain. She made the run to Falmouth in ninety- one days, beating in at least a dozen ves- | sels that left this coast before her. She made a wonderfully quick run out here, and at that time Captain Mahe said that in order to show it was no fluke he would make an equally good run home. He has kept his word, and at the same time set a ma for the rest of the grain fleet to try at. The British ship Penrhyn Castle, on which 10 per cent reinsurance was paid, arrived from Newcastle, N. S. W., yes- terday. The vessel had been a long time off the drydock, and was very foul. Be- sides that, light winds and calms were encountered during the voyage, and these two facts account for the long trip. Very severe weather had prevailed along the route usually taken by sailing vessels, however, and this, coupled, with the long time the Pehrnyn Castle was out, caused the underwriters to reinsure. The British ship Crown of India left . 8. W., forty-three days ago, i and was caught in a gale and dismasted. She was towed into Sydney, N. S. W., and is now being repaired. | The Ben Cruachan left Newcastle for | Antofogasta and the Lismore for San | Francisco one day after the Crown of India, and it is feared that they were in | the storm that dismasted that vessel, so | 10 per cent reinsurance is being paid on | them. | The steamer Professor Morse, which | came around here from New Orleans to go into the Klondike trade, is to be inspected by the Inspectors of Hulls and Bollers before she goes into commission. he Morse was formerly known as the British steamer Eline and later as the Bri steamer Suffolk. She was built in 18 | and is 250 feet long, 28.3 broad, 21.2 deep, and was bullt in Port Glasgow, Scotland. Her boilers are said to be in poor condi- tion, and during the run from New Or- leans to San Francisco the engineer said he had to put sixteen patches on them in | order to hold the steam and get the ves- sel to her destination. The chances are that the Morse's boilers will be condemned | and new ones put in before she goes into the Klondike passenger trade. The steamer Dirigo, which sails to-mor- row with the river steamer City of Daw- son in tow for St. Michael, will go out Sam Morton minus one of her passengers. came here from Globe ticket for that vessel arrangements for a two years Yukon. He was taken sick a few days ago and was removed to St. Luke's Hos- pital, where he died from pneumonia. The deceased, who was fairly well off in this | world’s goods, leaves a widow and son in Globe. The Dirigo has nearly all her | passenger accommodations taken, and will | get away promptly on time to-morrow. There have beenn a number of changes among the ship captains during the last few days. Captain C. P. Rasmussen has succeeded Captain Emigh in command of | the schooner Seven Sisters; Capt. H Pe- | terson has taken command of tne steam- | er Westport; Captain Henry Hansen of the schooner Reliance and Captain J.| Jorgensen of the schooner Parkersburg. | Captain A. O. Andresen, who went out on the steamer National City, turned that vessel over to Captain C. Anderson at Portland and has come back here to take command of the new steamer Bruns- | wick. The new schooner A. M. Baxter, now building at Eureka, will be 459.61 tons net, 162.7 feet long, 37 feet broad and 12.4 feet | deep. She will be employed in the coast lumber trade, At a meeting of the Harbor Commis- | sioners yesterday a motion to exclude all nickel-in-the-slot machines from the fer- ry depot was introduced by President Colnon. The only exception made was in favor of the nickel-in-the-slot telephone, which, Mr. Colnon said, was a great pub- lic convenience. The matter was dis- cussed for some time and finally went over for a week on motion of Commis- sioner Harney, who thinks nickel-in-the- slot weighing machines should also be permitted, as people going away on a va- cation would naturally want to know their weight before leaving the city and also on their return. President Colnon is not in favor of the weighing machines, as the last time he tried one of them the ticket which came forth showed his welight as 478 pounds. Somebody who was present at the meeting sald that the weighing machines were just as good as the telephones, as the = latter always sprung “line’s busy—call again” on a e son as soon as the nickel was dropped. The resolution prohibiting any of the State employes hypothecating their sal- ary warrants was passed and notices of the same will be sent to the Wharfingers and Collectors and other servants of the board on the water front. Any man who is now found borrowing money on the ex- pectation of what may be coming to him from the State will be considered to have given sufficient cause for instant dismis- sal. Healy, Tibbitts & Co. are trying very hard to get the Harbor Commissioners to take $13,257 worth of piles off their hands. Last year the firm contracted with the board to.tear down, rebuild and widen Green-street wharf for the sum of $I7,- 832. They proceeded to get the piles and lumber here from the Sound, and while doing so tore down half the wharf, leav- ing it of no earthly use to any one. The specifications called for progressive pay- ments on the estimates of the chief en- gineer of the board, and for the tearing down of the half of the wharf the firm received the sum of $187236. Then the Harbor Commissioners were prevented from going on with the work by an in- junction suit. While the suit was pend- ing Healy, Tibbitts & Co. got all their piles down and ever since have had them Iying glongside the wharf ready to go on with the work. They now ask the board to pay them 75 per cent of the $13,257 which these piles are supposed to have cost and $1000 additional. They also ask that as_soon as the appeal now pending in the Supreme Court is settled they be allowed to do the work of rebuilding Green-street wharf. In so many words, what they want is for their contract to remain in force and for the board to pay them $12,815, including the $1872 36 already handed over on & progressive- estimate. Needless to say the members of the board do not see the matter in the same light as Healy, Tibbitts & Co., anl the matter has been turned over to their at- torney for his opinion. Filing Chattel Mortgages. A man named Wilgus in Winters gave ‘W. J. Connelly a chattel mortgage, which the latter transferred to the Bank of ‘Winters. Six months later Wilgus went into insolvency, but two days before he filed his petition the chattel mortgage was laced on record. The assignee sued the ank and the mortgagee for a decree to set aside the mortgage. The lower court held that the mortgage under the circum- stances was void because it had not been recorded as soon as it was made. This decision was affirmed by the Supreme Court yeuerda?', that body holding that under the new law such a mortgage must be filed at once and that the mortgagee has no redress If he fails so to do.

YANKEE SHIPS, FOREIGN FLAGS CHANGE OF REGISTRY MAY NOT BE MADE. | Treasury Department Views With | Disfavor the Temporary Trans- fer of American Vessels. Assisant Secretary Spaulding of the Treasury Department at Washington has issued a circular which will prove to be more than ordinarily interesting to own- | ers of vessels, particularly during the | continuanck of “the war between the | United States and Spain. The communi- | cation begins as follows: Sir: Replying to your letter of the 2d inst., |in" which you state: ‘‘Being the owner of several American ships we would like to know if, during the present trouble with Spain, we should put our vessels under the English register, , on the return of peacs have our American register given to the ve: | sels again?' 1 have to say that Section 4165, | Revised Statutes, as amendcd by section 10 | of the act of March 3, 18! s: “A vessel registered pursuant to’ la: sale has become the property of a foreigner, shall be | entitled to a new register upon afterward be- coming American property, unless it has been enlarged or undergone change in build outside of the United States After quoting the law on the subject | the Secretary proceeds to say: You are aware that the conditions created v a state of war are widely different from | ordinary conditions of peace in many commer- clal transactions. You will observe that the protection of a | neutral flag is conditioned oy the bona fides of the sale to a neutral, and your letter seems to indicate that the sale of your vessel is to | be conditioned on a resale to you at the close | of the war. According to practice the Department must decline to make a ruling on the question you | ask until_a specific case requiring its action is | submitted. These considerations, however, and | the propriety of abandoning the flag at_this | time and resorting to the protection of an | alien nation, the possibility that the right of that protection will be denied by Spanish ves- | sels or refused by the nation to which you may oply, and the extent of danger of capture, % | real or imaginary, are brought to your atten. | tion as matters which may govern your action. | e | A GAME OF POKER. | “John Doe” Wanted for Getting Away with a Century.

Vi A Saturday night positively sees the last of this Great Clothing Sale, which has brought the pub- lic to our doors. A sale that has secured wide recognition and an enormous patronage through sheer force of merit. Every dollar invested during this great sale saves you close on to 100 per cent, for every suit is reduced from its former price of $12.80 and $18 down to the extremely low figure of $8.65, representing the greatest values offered by this or any other estab- lishment. Our entire show windows, containing over a hundred different garments, are a liv- ing illustration of what we offer during this great $8.88 sale. The best of Worsteds are represented therein. The richest designs in Tweeds. The prettiest shades of dark and steel gray Cassimeres—innumerable Che- viots in Blues and Blacks—Pinhead Checks— Plaids and Overplaids—Stripes and Diagonal Effects. You cannot imagine a prettier lot of gentle- manly and refined tail- or-made garments than those which we show in our windows and on the inside of our store— adapted for business or dress affairs—a greattes- timonial to our policy of selling exactly what we advertise. There is no wonder at our continuing this sale a week longer than orig- inally intended, forwhen the crowds gazed in our windows they never failed to enter our estab- lishment and investigate still further, and when they inspected the fabric in each garment the great value offered be- came apparent and the onlooker a willing pur- chaser. In our children’s de- partment for this week we have selected several lines of Middy Suits for the little fel- lows, in ages from 8 to 8, and consider it the crowning adornment to the little fellow’s ap- pearance. The suit will be sold during this week for $1.95 andisreduced from its former price of $8.00. The various lines represent gray and brown tweed mix- tures and blue chevi- ots.
