The Itallan reciproeity will have no par- ticular effect on the California wine in- s, as there s not a great deal of| n wine consumed In this countr. ing the fact that that G ernment has for a number of years main- (ained a commissioner in New York| Whose dutles were to use every possible to vromote the introduction of ke wine products of Italy in the markets the United States. On the other hand Calrornia will feel the gord and bad effects of the German treaty, as this reciprocal arrangement tykes away one of the stumbling blocks from the Californfa fruft men in a num- ber of ways. It will permit the wide in- | troduction of the fruit products of the State Into German markets under the e of the most favored nation. The products to be feared from Ger- many are of the kind known as German “sweets.” Manufacture there will be enabled to produce sophisticated wines, which are mostly composed of potato and beet alcohol, and get them into this mar- Ket at less cost than the pure products of | California can be sold for. The protest of the producers of sweet | Quarter, wines In this State is based on the faat | ¥ that notwithstanding they are allowed by the Government to fortify their sweet spirits duty free, and that they make excellent quality of such wines, dustry is struggling for existence. Th feel that if they had had an opportuni: to place the facts before the proper com mittee at Washington their would not have been included in the r- clprocal treaty with Germany at lec Whether or not anything can be done modify the agreement for the benefit of | that branch of the industry remains to be_seen. The importance of sweet wine making in this State can be realized by the state- ment that last year's production amount- ed to about 6,000,000 gallons Charles Bundschu, a member of the firm of Gundlach & Co., and one of tha| best posted wine men in_this State, in an article written for the Merchants' Asso- clation Review for this month say The- national policy of reciprocity as first proclaimed by James G. Blaine never contem- | plated the uplifting of one industry through | the destruction of another. The true intent of the establishment of reciprocal relations with forelgn countries was to create a larger mar- ket for ou , without crushing any of geling Industries. A reciprocity treaty that would admit forergn goods o low | 88 to close our factories, stmply to find an in- creased market for American beef or pork, would prove a suicidal policy. Our Internal revenue tax amounts to $1 10 on every proof gallon of liquor e-ntaining 0 per | cent’ of alcohol; 24 per cent, therefore, pays 53 cents, while under the French reciprocity treaty it Is now decreed that an imported arti- cle at 24 per cent can reach the American con- sumer at 35 cents, or IS cents per gallon less than the Interna! revenue tax amounts to for our own people. The absurdity of such a con- | cession to a forelgn country at a time when WAr taxes are levied and introduced on almost any recessity of ordinary life 's simply beyond conception. —_————— RUSH FOR STAMPS. Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars Col- lected at the Internal Revenue Office for War Taxes. There was a little slackening up yester- day in the rush for war tax sfamps at the officeof Internal Revenue Collector Lynch. Being Saturday the office closed at noon, after $25,000 had been received for stamps and licenses for the new fiscal year. The office will be open again next Tues- day morning for the sale of stamps, by which time there will be a large quantity on hand. Stamp collectors ave besleging the office, but the! of stamps are in vain, as they are sold in sheets of 100 each, and the only way to get them is to buy them by the sheet. The postage stamps stamped in Wash- ington with the letter “I. will soon be replaced with the regular war stamps and the temporary issue will be small and cor- respondingly valuable for philatelists.

BOSTON, June 2.—All world’s records from one to fifteen miles inclusive took s—Judge Tarvin riesland third. this afternoon, when Eddie McDuffie of Boston defeated Jimmy Michael, the | tiny cyclist who has long held the title of champion of the world. It is possible the race might have had a different ending but for an accident which befell Michael early in the race while in the lead. His handle bars be- came loose and he was forced to leave the track for another machine, which proved to be in little better condition than the first. McDuffle had gained a Macy Runs a Fast Race| five 'furlongs, Onamastus | What-er-Lou second, Imp ace, Milldale stakes, value $9%, | a sudden drop at Charles River Park | full lap during the transfer and as Michael could do nothing with his new machine he left the track, coming on again after the machine had been re- paired, but not in any sense a com- petitor. He rode in all six and two- thirds miles, McDuffie continued to reel off the miles during all this time, cutting record after record, until at the end of the fifteenth mile and the race he was 20 3-5 seconds better than the world's record, held by himself. The men took their positions and at the word were off like a flash. Michael caught his team first and opened up a gap of forty yards before McDuffie was well started. The pace was terrific, and at the end of the first mile the watches recorded 1:46 2-5 against 1:48 3-5, the former world's record, made by Elkes in his race with Martin a week ago. The two miles were ridden in 8:24 3-5, a gain of 4 3-5 on the pre- vious two mile record. Michael had added two more records to his credit when his machine went down and he was out of the race. McDuffie here took the lead and the killing pace did not abate. He con- tinually urged his pacemakers on, and every mile clipped a second or two from the previous record. The bell an- nounced the last mile of the race, and his pacemakers exerted themselves to the utmost as they swung into the stretch on the last lap. McDuffle pulled out for a spurt and headed the team across the tape in 26:30 3-5. COLLECTED IN THE CORRIDORS C. A. McAllister, U. 8. N., is stopping at the Occidental. J. H. Martin, U, 8.

About 2 in the afternoon | Amos rushed into the Palace lobby, and there discovered a new lot to astonish. | He a1d so, and in no hackneyed way. Ac- cording to Burr, the first block on Mont- gomery street was flowing with wine. The popping and flazing of the molten amber llquid, with its fascinating effervescence, could be heard for blocks. His only sur- prise was that the group of men to whom he was pair. ng this word picture had not heard the noise attendant upon the open- ing of g0 many small “bots.” He advised them all to rush over to Crane and as- sist in the consumption of the supply. One of the men, with tendencies anything | but bibulous, thought he would like to experience something of Crane's hospital- ity, 80 he went at Gnce. Darting into Crane's office he shouted: *Hello, Crane. T hear that you are giving away small bottles on the strength of your new job. ‘Well, cough up; am I in {t?” “Of course,” said Crane; ‘“‘everybody gets a small bottle. Do you want yours now or wui you wait?” “I'll take mine now,” sald the young man, determined to drink it if he had t *All right,”” Crane replied; “here it is, and suiting the action to the word he dug down in his pockets and fished up a small bottle of ink.

Deputy Coroner McCormick yesterday completed his summary of the year's work done by Coroner Hawkins up to and including June 30, 1898. During the year there were 916 cases, 345 inquests, and €30 autopsies. Of the 918 cases 146 were suicides, as against 722 cases and 178 suicides during the preced- ing fiscal year. The ascertained causes of these suicides were as follows: Domestic trouble 2, despondency 75, financial trou- bles 7, intemperance 11, insanity 6, jeal- ousy 5, sickness 15. unknown causes 2. Of the suicides 139 were white, § yellow and one black. There were 122 male sui- cldes and 24 female. Forty-five were married, 74 single, 3 widows, five widow- ers. and 19 whose domestic relationship | was unknown. The religion of the sui- cldes was; Christian 122, Jewish 10, pagan 6, unknown 8. The means used by the suicides in tak- ing their lives were the following: As- Ehyxln bi; charcoal fumes 1, by drowning guns ot wounds 43, Knife cuts 6, hanging 8 shock from falls, ete., , arsenic 2. asphyxia by inhaling the fumes of illuminating gas 23, carbolic acid 27, cyanide of potassium and PROPOSED PAVING 2 OF MARKET STREET MAYOR PHELAN OPPOSES IT FOR SEVERAL REASONS. He Considers It Would Be a Waste of Money Unless Certain Car Tracks Were Removed. Mayor Phelan yesterday forwarded to the Board of Supervisors a lengthy com- munication bearing on the paving of Mar- | ket street, between Second an Fifth, with bituminous rock. He is of the opinion that unless the Market-street Railway Company abandon and remove the rails on which horsecars are now run it would be futile to pave the street. The commu- | nication of the Mayor is as follows: The Honorable the Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco—Gentle- men: On May 11, 189, the board let a con- tract for the paving of Market street, from Second to Fifth, work to be begun within fif- teen days. Thé pavement was to consist of nine inches of concrete and a surface of bitu- minous rock, which was to cover Market street from the curb line to a point two feet dis- tant from the outer rafls of the Market-street Rallway Company’s tracks. When the contract came to me for approval I endeavored, by per- sonal negotiation with the raiiroad company, the Merchants' Assoclation co-operating, to have the said company agree to abandon the | outside tracks, over which horse cars run. The | rallroad officials conceded that they could, first, abandon the outside tracks without preju clally affecting thelr monopoly of the street; second, that the horse cars exclusively using the said outside tracks did not pay, and third, that they would abandon the same 1n considera’ tion of a franchise to use overhead electricity on Market street. This being opposed, the company refused to abandon its tracke, and would not even consent to voluntarily pay the part of the moadway chargeable o & by law, Viz.,, between its tracks and ralls and for tw feet beyond the outer rafls in the same man- ngr &8 the balance of the street in paved. ailing to get any agreement from the Mar- ket-street Rallway Company I let the contract become effective without my signature, desir- Ing thereby to indicate my disapproval of the pavement of the street unless the unnecessary outer tracks were removed and the whole pave- ment between the cable tracks and the curbdone in a thorough and satisfactory manner. 1 am satisfied that if the street is paved as called for by the contract now that it will look like & patch upon our great thoroughfare, and that it will wear as badly as the pavement on Fol- som street, on account of the presence of the | outer tracks, which will afford - teamsters a groove in which to run in, identically in the same menner as is common on the narrower streets, whereas if the outer tracks were re- moved and the street paved to the cable tracks a sufficlently large surface of roadway would be made for teams to use, and, not being con- fined in a narrow space, they would travel over the street in such n mannér &s would not be destructive of the pavement, which would wear evenly. Hence I conclude that unless the outer rails of the Market-street Railway Company be removed it would be futfle to pave that street with bituminous rock. You have extended the time for the completion of the work under the | contract above mentioned to September $ next. It it is still the intention of the board to pave rket street with bituminous rock I would redpecttully recommend that you carefully con- slder the right of the Markat-street Railway to maintain these objectionable tracks, and, it satisfled that no such right exists, to order the Superintendent of Streets to remove them as a nulsance. A contract should then be let for the paving of the balance of the roadway. I herewith submit an exposition of the law on the subject, which I belleve to be sound, and Which clearly indicates that the Market-street Railway Company s to-day fllegally maintain- ing its outside tracks. In my judgment the paving of Market street with bituminous rock, unless these tracks are“ removed, will be a waste of money, and the only opportunity this | material will have to show its merits, if it pos- sesswes any on such a busy thoroughfare, would be by the uniform pavement of the entire sur- face, leaving but the double cable tracks in the center of the street. Reepectfully submitted, JAMES D. PHELAN, Mayor. Mayor Phelan forwarded with the com- munfcation several excerpts taken from the laws bearing on the rights and priv- fleges of street rallway companies. ———— ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. SANTA ROSA—A. 8., Tomales, Cal, Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, is 192 feet above the level of the sea. LILITUOKALANI-S. M. G., City. Lili- { uokalani was born in 1838, succeeded to the throne in 1891 and was deposed in 1893. AMERICAN FOLKLORE—J. B., City. ‘There s an organization known as the American Folklore Soclety. I'ne secre- tary is W. W. New Cambridge, Mass. FISH-N., City. Sclence has demon- strated that fish are not cold-blooded, as 1s generally supposed. The normal tem- | perature is 77, which is 21 lower than the normal température of man. A SHIP'S NAME—A. H., City. One of the troopships that.left with the first ex- Endlflon for Manila was the City of Pe- | ing, not Pekin. The ship was so named for the capital of the Chinese Empire, be- ing engaged In the China trade. THE MONITOR AND VIRGINTA—S., City. A fine account of the naval fight between the Monitor and the Virginia, commonly called the Merrimae, durin, the Civil’ War is to be found in “Naval History of the War,”” by Admiral D. S. Porter. ANGLO-SAXON—S. C., Watsonvlile, Cal. The use of Anglo-Saxon as applied to the personnel of the army and navy of | he United States is not incorrect, for “in its widest sense it is used In relation to all English speaking or English ap- pearing people.” That is one definition given in the Century dictionary. EXTRADITION TREATY—“Eurcka,’” | Mendocino County. The crimes that are embraced in the extradition treaty be- tween the United States and Great Brit- ain, in which is embraced Canada. were ublished in the department of Answers o Correspondents In The Call April 21, 1898, in answer to a query by Luclus. BRONZE—*"Eureka,” Mendocino Coun- ty, Cal. Bronze is apt to be affected by a green rust. The hardness of and re- sistance of bronze to oxidation fit it ad- mirably for colns, and many anclent bronze colns have come to us but little deterforated, though burled for ages in damp soil or immersed in water. Bronze doca mot rust in the sense that iron rusts. NEITHER MISS NOR MRS.—O. S., Oakland, Cal. A woman who has ob- tained a divorce and has been allowed to resume her maiden name has no right to use elther Miss or Mrs., because not be- ing a married woman nor a_widow she is rot entitled to the prefix Mrs., and not being a mald cannot be called Miss. If the woman’s name before divorce was rs. Jennie Brown and the court allows er to resume her malden name. which was Smith, she becomes Jennie Smith. PROPORTIONS OF THE FLAG—Mrs. R. B, City. A ten-foot American flag should be five feet wide. The blue field should be one-third the length of the flag and cover the width of seven stripes. The width of five feet should be divided into thirteen stripes of equal width. There is no rule for the size of the stars; that rests with the fancy of the maker. They must, however, not be so large us to crowd the forty-five, one against the other, nor must they be too small so as to leave too much space between. Any dealer in bunt- ing will tell you how many yards of ma- tflerlsl you will require to make a ten-foot ag. A MATTER OF CONTRACT-J. L., City. If a man rents a house, the manner in which he pays the rent is a matter of contract, written or verbal, between him- self and the owner or agent. If the un- derstanding is that the rent shall be paid in advance, the owner or agent would have a right to commence an action in ejectment in case the tenant did not pay as he agreed to. A tenant cannot claim that because he paid the first month's rent in advance the contract being rent in advance, that he is entitled to con- tinue occupying the house and pay in the middle or latter part of the succeed- ing month.

ELECTION—"Eureka,” Mendocino, Cal. The name of a candidate and the office for which he runs must be plainly set forth on the ticket. The law of Califor- nia defines a ticket as ‘‘a paper upon ‘which is written or printed the names of the persons he intends to vote for, with a designation of the office to which each person so named is intended by him to be chosen.” 1If there should be an election for three trustees and the law should de- clare that one shall hold for one year, an-+ other for two years and the third for three years, the specified term should ap- pear opposite the name of the candidate chosen for that term. If that were not so it would be impossible to determine which | of the three candidates tne voter desired should receive his vote for the iong or the short term. A ballot that did not contain the specified term could not le- gally be counted. THE MERARIMAC—J. R., Nicasio, Cal: The collier Merrimac that was sunk in the entrance to the harbor of Santiago de ; 2 Cuba by Hobson and his men is a steel [ $3 vessel 3% feet long, 44 foot beam, and a | & depth of 29 feet.

During the Civil War the United States frigate Merrimac was at the Gosport navy-yard undergoing re- pairs in April, 1861, when, it becoming ap- parent to the Federals that the place could not be held, therefore it was aban- doned and set on fire, as was also the Merrimac and other vessels, to destroy them and prevent them from falling into the hands of the Confederates. Subse- quently the vessel was raised, cut down to the old berth deck, both ends for sev- enty feet were covered over and when {n fighting trim the decks were just awash. On the midship section, 170 feet in length, was built at an angle or 45 degrees d: Toof of pitch pine and oak 24 Inches thick: extending from the water line to a“height over the gun deck: of 7 feet. Both ends of the shields were rounded so that the pivot guns could be used as bow or stern chagers or quartering.
