THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1898. SUPPORTS THE JUARRY POOL Stockton’s Council Bars Folsom Rock. ITS ACTION NOT IN FAVOR COST OF STREET BUILDING IS| INCREASED. Citizens Complain Because They Are | Compelled to Put Money Into the Pockets of the | Combine. i @pecial Dispatch to The Call 17.—Pronounced | among a major- | v owners of this city 1 of the City Council in | Folsom rock in street work, st the opinion of the City | Engi and those officlals best in- formed upon the subject of street build- ing. | During the year 1896 and the earlier months of last y miles of ar Stockton built four | beautiful and substantial | streets, and the burden fell lightly | upon proper owners, thanks to the| extremely low figure at which the prod- | uct of the State plant at Folsom was delivered to contractors.

Mr. Quinn con- | siders this no argument against Fol- | som rock, and contends with City En- gineer Compton that the fauilt lies in the manner in which the rock is put | down. T done in the follow- ing manner: st, a layer of heavy rock was spread and rolled. This was followed by a layer of smaller rock, pert ging an inch end a half | screen. Upon this came a layer of fine rock, almost dust. Und the heavy rolling it became dust and, al- though assuming a hard surface under the roller it ground under heavy traffic, | just as any other rock would do, and the ntemplated by the speci- fications not i ance ob- | tained. lace the roc! that this third qual- | n the street, and in used in the middle | ver should be allowed to fill up the| required depth and it would have suf- | ficient resistance to allow the packing | process to become complete. City Engineer Compton is a firm friend of Folsom rock, but it would seem there an influence stronger than his professional opinion at work in the | Council. | The Council has not been content to strike a blow In favor of the rock mo- nopoly. The cost has been saddled upon the people by incre g the cost of street buildiig about $210 a block. | ference has been made to the| erican street job. The street is finished and at present it appears neither better nor worse than the Fol- som-rock streets. As “figures talk,” a comparative statement will best show the injustice the “reform” Council is doing the peo- ple of ockton. Titustrative of the cost of Folsom rock one may take Park, between Harrison and Madison streets, which was done with Folsom rock. This cost $1.1512 per front foot, A lot of fifty feet, accordingly, about $57 56. The straight rock work here was 39.39 feet wide, and the cost of the block, of double 300 feet, without inter- sections, etc., was $690 72. Now take the street and make the | width 5 feet, so as to make the cam- parison with American street true. This width would have cost $1.623 a foot, $81 15 a lot and $973 80 for the block. w take the American street block where the Benicla quarry rock was used. This cost $1.96 a foot, or 34 cents more than Park street. The cost was $17 more on the front of a fifty-foot lot and something over $204 on the block, not counting intersections. All of the contracts let this year, with the exception of some work on S8an Joaquin street, has called for rock other than that obtainable at the State quarry, this, too, in face of the fact that this rock can be lald down here at 79 cents per yard. Center street, from Mormon Channel to South street, is being done by Clark & Henery with the Cordelia rock; Madison, from Oak to Flora, by W. J. Comfort with Be- nicia rock. It 1s alleged these contractors are the gole agents for the rock they are us- ing, and that some understanding ex- ists among the quarrymen whereby only favored ones can find the rock re- quisite for the work under the new specifications. George W. Bidwell put in a bid upon some work recently ‘and made arrangements to get the Laundry Farm rock, but somehow the owners found it impossible to supply the rock. Bvery advantage has been taken by the rock dealers of the action of the City Council. It has been valuable to them as an entering wedge and the libel on Folsom rock is being circulated in other places with a view of discouraging the use of the Folsom product. The people here have not repudiated the rock. The private quarrymen would be charging double prices now | third. [ 2t second, May Be So third.

The objections made were weak, indeed. Thg people are moving to find out why thj_; are being thus taxed for the ben- efit of private-companies, while the State maintains a plant to obviate this injustice, and encourage the building at a small expense of public thorough- fares.

He and His Companions Hanged to | a Tree and Their Bodies | Riddled With Bullets. Special Dispatch to The Call. | MONTGOMERY, Ala., June 17.—Four of the five negroes taken from the jail | at Wetumpka last night were hanged | this morning at a point ten miles from | Wetumpka and thirty-two miles from | the scene of their crime. The four were | Sol Jackson, Lewis Shier, Jesse Thomp- | son and Camp Reese. The troops from | here did not succeed in locating the | prisoners, as the country is hilly, | rough and wooded. The most of the l night and this morning were spent by the mob in a sort of trial, investigat- ing the crime and getting at the guilty ones. The four negroes who were hanged confessed to having participated in the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Carden and Carlo, and one of them told where he had hidden the money. He was com- pelled to find it, and, in a few minutes, near the scene of the crime, all four were swung up and their bodies rid- | dled with bullets. The militia was unable to follow the mob last night, as its members were all well mounted and no means of con- veyance were at hand to take the sol- diers after them. This morning when efforts to find the negroes were re- | newed news came over the telephone | from Wetumpka that they had beendis- | covered swinging from a limb. FATAL RIOTS IN AUSTRIAN GALICIA | There Has Also Been an Outbreak of Albanians Near the Frontier of Montenegro. CRACOW, Austrian Galicla, June 17.— | The situation in Gorlice, in connection | with the anti-Semitic excesses, is one | of the most serfous character. Bands of men from other districts have re-enforced | the petroleum workers and peasants of Gorlice and are attacking, plundering and burning Fub“c buildings. They have at- tacked the towns of Biecz and Gordice, which had to be defended by troops. LEMBERG, Austrian Galicia, June 17.— Gangs of peasants yesterday attacked and plundered the Jewish shops at Fenyz- tak, near Rzoszow, and wounded several Jews, The {mll('e fired on the mob, kill- | ing six of the rioters and Wounding five mdre. CONSTANTINOPLE, June 17.—The out- break of the Albanians at Berane, near the frontier of Montenegro, the gravity of which is comparable to the troubles preceding the - Servia-Montenegro war against Turkey in 1876, is due to revenge taken by some of the Christians upon the Albanian murderers of aChristiannotable last autumn. The Albanians in. remote districts participated in the recent out- rages. In consequence of the renewed repre- sentations of Montenegro, supported by Russla, the Sultan has dispatched troops to the disturbed districts from Uskub. There was fighting all day Thursday and many were killed or wounded on_ both gides. According to the Cettinje advices fnany women and children who were flee- ing toward Montenegro have been killed by Albanians, CETTINJE, Montenegro, June 17.—The earlier reports that the Turks had re- sumed the work of burning villages are fully confirmed. In the Berane district of Albania 700 houses belonging to Ser- vian Christians have been burned. The Turks are committing horrible atrocities, and two Servian women have Peen barbarously murdered.

PHILADELPHIA, June 17.—Miss Jull- ette Atkinson of New York to-day at the Philadelphia cricket grounds again won the ladies’ national tennis championship, | defeating Miss Marian Jones of Nevada in a brilllant and close contest, 6—3, 5—1, 64, 28, 75, The contestants were evenly matched, but experience and endurance told.

During the final set Miss Jones was only one point from_the match and the championship, but Miss Atkinson tled her and beat her out each time. In the ninth game of the set a brilliant play took place ~which was spolled by the ball in play hitting a ball lying in Miss Jones’ court. At that time Miss Jones needed but one point to win, and her supporters groaned as the chance faded away. Miss Atkinson then won the next four games and the match by fast playing.

BOSTON, June 17.—The world’s bicycle records once agaln went by the board from- the ninth to the thirtieth mlle to- day, when Eddie McDuffle easily defeated Major Taylor of Brooklyn at the Charles River Park In a paced thirty-mile race. From the start to about the fifteenth mile it was a hot event, but after that time Taylor did not show up well against the work of MeDuffle.

POSTPONED UNTIL MONDAY S’PEECEES TO BE MADE AGAINST THE RESOLUTION. The Discussion to Be Opened by | Senator White, Who Will Be | Followed by Petti- | grew. | Speclal Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, June 17.—Only about fifteen minutes’ time was consumed by the Senate Foreign Relatlons Com- mittee to-day in reaching a conclu- sion to report the resolutions for the acquisition of the Hawalian Islands by the United States. Only two of the Democratic members, Turpie and Mills, | were present at the meeting and they contented themselves by recording their votes in opposition to a motion to re- port favorably, showing no disposition to delay action by the committee. The Republicans voted in the negative and Senator Davis stated he was author- ized to cast the vote of Senator Mor- gan (D.) In the affirmative. The fact developed that while the resolution first received the sanction of the House, it was prepared by Senator Davis, and no disposition was manifested to change it in any respect. It is already becoming evident that the reported understanding among the members of the finance committee reached during the pendency of the war revenue bill to the effect that the Hawalifan resolution should not come up for consideration during the pres- ent Congress, will cut an important figure in the consideration of the ques- tion in the Senate. This matter was in- formally presented to the Republican membpers of the committee in behalf of the Democrats after the adjournment of the committee meeting to-day and they were informed that the Demo- cratic members of the finance commit- tee were generally disposed to contend | that the agreement was explicit to the effect that the Hawaiian question should not be revived in the Senate during the present session. Some of the Republican members of the Foreign | Relations Committee stated that they had never before heard of the agree- ment, but all manifested a disposition to_investigate the matter. In the executive session of the Sen- | ing, the boilers on the Nero have been | tors put-in. | class naval ships and not in makeshift | ner. ate, held late in the day, an agreement was reached to adjourn over until Mon- | day, thus postponing the taking up of | the annexation question until that time. | The action was taken on motion of | Senator Jones of Arkansas, who stated | that the opponents of the annexation | resolution desired the extra time in| which to prepare themselves for the | Hawalilan debate. He stated that they had supposed that the debate would be | initiated by the advocates of the reso- lutions, but that having heard that they | intended to make no speeches he though the opposing party should not be expected to begin so abruptly. Senator Morgan at first opposed the motion, contending for the necessity of | a session to-morrow, but he afterward yielded and the motion prevailed. Senator Davis sald that under the cir- cumstances he would insist upon a Sat- urday session, but that he hoped that when the resolution should be taken up Monday the matter would be pro- ceeded with expeditiously. The inci- dent served to bring out the fact that it is the purpose of the friends of the resolution not to debate it at all. The discussion will be opend Mon- | day by Senator White, who will be fol- | lowed by Senator Petfigrew. NEWLANDS’ RESOLUTION | REPORTED TO SENATE White Gives a Hint of His Opposition to the Annexation of | Hawali. WASHINGTON, June 17.—The Foreign Relations Committee, through Davis, the chairman, to-day reported favorably to the Senate the Newlands resolution for the annexation of the Hawalian Islands. Davis announced his purpose of calling up the resolution to-morrow for considera- tion, but as the Senate decided later to adjourn until Monday, the debate upon the resolution will not begin until that time. N White indicated that he would lead the opposition to annexation by requesting Davis to repeat his statement, the Cali- fornia Senator not having heard it. After Davis had repeated his announcement. r\‘Vhl'.a resumed his seat, evidently satis- ed. The bill to Incorporate the International American Bank, in accordance with the recommendation of the Pan-Agnerican Congress, which has occupied a greater part of the Senate’s time this week, was assed this afternoon by a vote of 26 to 23. The design of the measure is to fur- nish such banking and exchange facilities as will promote trade between the United States and the countries of Central and South America. The bill provides that the bank sghall have a capital stock of $5,000,- 000, and that the capital stock may be increased to $25,000,00). The institution, in accordance with the terms of the bill, shall be under the supervision of the Comptroller of the Currency, and in the charter of the corporation, which the bill grants, certain privileges are accorded to the incorporators in view of advant which are expected to accrue to those terested in trade with Southern countries. An amendment to the bill provides that any coteries of citizens who comply with the requirements of this charter may or- un‘l:e and establish an international anik. WOLF'S COMET SEEN. Observed Through the Big Telescope on Mount Hamilton. LICK OBSERVATORY, June 17.—Wolf's periodic comet was found at 3 o'clock this morning by Professor W. J. Huffey with the 36-inch telescope. Tt was close to its iredlcted place, and was found instantly. No attempt has been made here to ob- serve it. The measurement of its position was obtained. The comet was seen with- out difficulty with the 36-inch refractor, but it would probably be quite faint with small telescopes. It has a central con- densation and a ‘short tall not more than 1% minutes long. The comet w s first dis- covered by Max Wolf of Heidelberg in 1884, and was rediscovered by Spitaler of Vlfmm. in 1891 Its period is ahout seven years. Lo g Of Interest to the Coast.

The engines on both ships have undergone a thorough overhaul- tested and repaired, and new ventila- She will be towed to San Francisco by the Unadilla when her stores are aboard. Nearly 4000 tons of coal will be taken aboard and a ship load now lying out in the stream will also be towed to San Francisco. } On the Monadnock everybody is busy | putting aboard stores, and giving the | finishing touches to the engines. Very little repair was necessary to the main engines, but the air pumps and evapor- ators have undergone changes and the steam department with a corps smiths, have been working day and | night to have everything ready on time. | A week ago, according to orders, the | apprentice boys were transferred from ‘the Pensacola to the former revenue cutters Grant and Rush. The boys did | not like the idea of sqrving on such small boats, and after a few days got | together and delegated a number to | interview the commandant with the hope of securing their transfer back to | the Pensacola or some other ship. The committee interviewed Admiral Kirk- land, who, after listening to the ar- gument of the lads to the effect that they had enl extensive | engineering | of copper- | i ed for service in first- | gunboats, granted the request and sent them jubilantly back to the Pensacola. Steam was got up, on the Nero | this morning and on a dock trial her | engines worked in a satisfactory man- | She will be towed to San Fran- | cisco to-morrow and her cargo of coal, | nearly 4000 tons, placed aboard as soon | as possible. Both the Brutus and the | Nero have been good investments for | the Government. They are virtually | new ships, with large displacements, | economical with fuel, and require but | few men to run them. The coal con- | sumption at nine to ten knots an hour | is not over twenty tons per day. The | boilers are exceedingly large for the amount of power required, and were found to be in excellent condition. The cruiser Philadedlphia will be the third time. The sailing ship Kahne, which has lain at anchor for a couple of weeks. was towed to the citv this afternoon by the Unadilla. The Nero will prob- ably follow next Thursday and load her cargo of coal.

In the Height of the IMelee Mayor Snyder Has Mysteriously Left the City. LOS ANGELES, June 17.—There is a difference of just $1,700,000 between what the City Council wants to pay and what the Los Angeles Water Com- pany is willing to accept for its plant. The Council to-day agreed by a unani- mous vote to tender the water company $1,300,000 for its improvements to the city’s plant. This was in response to the company’s offer to sell for $3,000,- 000. This difference of over a $1,500,000 did not come as a surprise. It was ex- pected. When the Council met the committee on water supp:y it was re- ported that the City Engineer had made a thorough examination of the additions the company had made to the plant since the date of his last valua- tion, July 20, 1897. These additions he reported had a valuation of about $110,- 000, and added to the total of his pre- vious valuation, made a grand total of $1,300,000, which was offered the com- pany. As soon as the water committee made its report to this effect it was unani- mously adopted. The City Clerk was then instructed to notify the water company of the offer and request a re- ply not later than Monday next. At that time the water company will respond and decline the offer. The city will then invite the water company to arbitrate under the terms of its con- tract. The water company will agree to arbitration, but will demand that be- fore any steps are taken that the city indicate where and how it will secure the funds necessary to pay the amount of award and what assurance the com- pany can be given that the award will be binding. Neither the city nor any of its officers can give any such as- surances such as are desired. It can only raise money to buy improvements by voting bonds. These bonds cannot be voted until the amount of money de- sired is known and specified, which it will be impossible to ascertain until af- ter the arbitrators have fixed a price. Then, if this price so fixed is too large in the opinion of voters bonds will be defeated and the city will have no money with which to make good the award of the arbitrators. This is the unfortunate and compli- cated condition the water problem is in. It is just exactly what The Call out- lined and warned the people of Los Angeles against months ago. No steps were taken to unravel the snarl, however, until now, when but Iittle oyer thirty days remain of the life of the“water company’s contract with the city. Mayor Snyder has mysteriously left the city and no one knows whence he has gone. Those who do know will not tell. Only one thing is knownm, he is absent from the city on water busi ness, but just what point he is trying to make cannot be discovered. The water company has played its cards very cleverly. It has within the last thirty days stood strictly to its contract and is complying with it strictly. The scheme of the company is to place the city in default on the con- tract, which will prevent Mayor Snyder and the police force from taking forci- ble possession of the works at midnight of July 22. The water imbroglio will soon be at its height and some anomalous and stirring scenes and situations are prom- ised before a final settlement is made. TRANSPORTING REINDEER.
