THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JULY 31, 1898 AS THE GOVERNOR'S BIST DAT ‘The Democratic High Joints Grind Axes. AGNEWS OFFICIALS SCORED GIVEN A LECTURE BY THE EXECUTIVE. Inquiries Concerning the Recent Shotgun Marriage Between Miss Democracy and Mr., Populist Party. The headquarters of Adjutant Gen- eral Barrett {n the Palace Hotel bore & distinctly political aspect during the greater part of vesterday on account of the presence of a number of Demo- cratic high joints who were there to wait upon Governor Budd. The busi- ness end of several Democratic news- papers were also represented, the ob- Ject in view boing the securing of the contract for the printing of several proposed constitutional amendments and- the régular election .proclamation. Early in the day Trustee Hale and Medical - Di tor Sponogle of Agnews Insané Asylum paid the Governor a formal call for the purpose of laying hefore him a transcript of the evidence taken. recently he board of trustees of the asylum:in connection- with the charges made against Dr. Sponogle. It ‘was expected that Trustee Gould would | &lso be present, hut he failed to put in an appearance; much to the regret of Hale and Sponogle, though' the Gov- ‘ernor displayed no visible evidences of regret because of the non-arrival of the gentleman who is credited with ap- plying the beautiful coat of whitewash that now covers the moral defects in the administration of affairs at Ag- news. The transcript of evidence was glven to the Governor, and will be presented by him to the Lunacy Com- mission for: consideration. Both Dr. Sponogle and. Trustee Hale attempted to impress upon the mind of the Governor the alleged fact that the investigation conducted by the board of trus was full and com- | ed beyond doubt Huntington's rickety, antiguated, one- horse bobtz will run on Market street no more. ly yesterday morning Street Supe with a force of ne 4 out the programme as outlined in y and tore up the tracks Call er which the olted along. s were stowed ard, and to-morrow that for ages have along the line of e removed tracks will be taken up, and In their place a smooth bitumen roadway wiil be laid as fast as the work ean be ac- complished.

It may be that he saw fit to go even deeper into the matter, for when the officials emerged | from the ‘presence they presented the eppearance of two bad boys who had just been mixed up with the sole of | the parental slipper. It may be that it | was the anticipation of some such thing that deterred Trustee Gould from par- ticipating in the interview. He is a | master hand at applying the rod, but is maturally averse to exposing him- B to any sort of castigation. John F. Kidder the Debris Commis- sioner, made a brief call on the Gov- | ernor during.the forenoon. They held | a short executive eession on matters political, after which W. W. Foote, Yosemite Commissioner and candidate for United Btates Se: or, as given @ chance to tell the Governor about the merit, as an advertising medium, of the newspaper owned by one of his per- sonal friends and political henchmen.

A copy of the Mayor's order to ‘the Su- perintendent of Streets, directing him to tear up the rails, is as follows: SAN FRANCI Hon. Wiiliam F.

Accompanying the order was the fol- lowing letter giving reasons why imme- diate action should be taken: N FRANCISCO, Jul 1per teferring to my desire to inform you th 1, the Board of S proposals for th hat part of Market street to the horse car tracks at its meet- August 1. when you will lons ready as required by ation.

The ten days’ notice to pave between the tracks and rails is required by law. When the railroad yesterday notified us that they declined ‘and refused to remove the tracks, of course they waived thelr notice and {n'order to carry out the resolution of the Board of Supervisors I directed the Superintendent of Streets to remove the tracks to-day. By this proceeding, the city being in possession of the street, can now invite bids for the paving of it next Monday as intended. Otherwise, it would mean long delav and raise legal questions as to contemplated paving contract, ‘“As to the horse car tracks, I read be- tween the lines of the communication of the railroad people that they have no au- thority to maintain the t; ,\L‘%(s under Sec- tion 429 of the Civil Code, and the Board had no right to grant such a privilege on Market street; and, secondly, that by rea- son of the fact that they have abandoned portions of the horse car road, as on Grant avenuo and other streets, they have forfeited the whole franchise. “I sincerely trust, in the in city alone,. th terest of the the company will now pave between its tracks and for two feet outside of their outer rail without any compulsion. I do not believe that there is any intention on the part of the Super- visors to Insist upon the repaving of the concrete cable road bed, nor do I believe that they should be justified in so doing. It looks now as though we would have & smooth and noiseless pavement on Mar- ket street between Second and Sixth streets.” The action of the Buperintendent of Streets was so unexpected by the street- car company that several of their cars were caught along that part of the track that was taken up, and several of them were left along the street with no rails to run over to reach the carhouse. At one point along the line five cars were bunched up on a stretch of track disco nected from any part of the company’s tem. The cars were hauled and pushed over the cobbles to the nea that they could reach and sent to the A car was left to run up and down on Sansome street and another was detailed to r the uneven rails on Sixth street.

They had not looked for such premature action, think- ing that the city officlals would not tear up the ralls until the expiration of the time allotted them for the removal of the tracks. Nothing has as yet been determined by the railroad company to set the action of the city. rrin, attorney for the Southern Pac d_ydkterday: ‘“The city officials ha¥e acted r: r hastily in this matter. I think the Railway Company has been v able Inthe attitude which it as to which it adheres. They mu tear up the tracks but they cannot tcar up the franchise. That stlll remains to us. have not given the matter much thought, being occupied during the entire day with other business. An action will certainly lie against the city for damages. There has been a clear and distinct violation of arket-street - the contract obligations of the franchise, | and we will stand by the terms of our contract. The protest that the street Railw rved upon the Super ors, the or and the Superintendent of Streets cannot be considered nature of a waiver. That is absurd. It was merely a protest. warning that we wished to give to the city officlals before they hastily rushed Into action.” irke -4 the forenoon, and Major Frank Mc- Laughlin stepped in for a moment to inquire about the legality of the recent shotgun marriage between Miss Dem- ocracy and Mr. Populist Party. He was informed that the bridegroom shows no signs of a desire to deny the paternity of the Little Giant baby and that there is some talk of a divorce. The chiid has been given fifteen days in which to acknowledge its father. There were many other callers at the apartments of the executive during the day, so many, in fact, that there wa; no need for a “This s my busy day' sign. —— FRIENDS OF THE FOREST.

Sample of the Fables With Which Spanish Courage Is Stimu- lated and Patriotism Kept Alive. A flagrant case of Americans giving ald and comfort to a Spanish newspaper which is upholding the cause of Spain in the war with the United States has come to light with the arrival of El Comercio de San Franciscco, published {n San Sal- vador, Central America. The paper was formerly published In this city, but just before the war broke out between the two countries the editor moved his traps out of the sty of ‘“Yankee pigs,” as his coun- trymen delight to call Americans, and took up his abode in Central America. The issues of the paper to which atten- tion 1s called are those of May 6 and 22, 1898, They are filled with abuse of Amer- icans and of the United States, and yet the columns contaln advertisements from well known business men in this ecity. Among them are the California Wine As- socfation, corner of Second and Folsom streets; Garcla & Maggini, commission merchants; W. W. Montague & Co., San Francisco Bulletin, Cyrus Noble Bourbon Whisky, Hotel Occidental, Guillermo B. Hooper proprietor; Bacigalupi's Phono- graph Parlors; Union Pactfic Railroad, by D. W. Hitchcock, No. 1 Montgomery street; Pacific Mail Steamship Company, Hotel Langham and others. In the issue of the paper in which these advertisements appear are scurrilous ar- ticles, original and selected, from the most violent of the newspapers of Madrid. In the issue of the 22d is an article head- ed, “Donde esta un Hspanol esta Espana.” Where there is a Spaniard, there is pain.) The following translation shows he nature of the stuff which has been ealt out by Spanish newspapers to that small portion of the Spanish public that’ can read: La Correspondencia Militar of Madrid relates the following episode in which the worthy Signor Eulate, commander of the cruiser Viz- Iy bore an honorable part. ‘A 4, certain! halt-nour before the crulser Viscava left the rt of New York more than 10,00 Yankees, man, uurvlvlni partner of Colman Bros., hatters, for $8265 35, alleged to be due for goods sold and delivered. e greater number of whom Were jingoes, ‘were waiting for the ship to weigh anchor with | the Country of Barnum.” @ design which they afterward clearly showed."” After reciting the fact that the Vizeaya pro- oceeded “‘majestically” out of the port, the a: count goes on to say that as so the ves- sel started on her way the thousands of Yan- kees in port ‘‘began hissing m a manner so boisterous that the saflors of our ship in spite of the work which they were doing could not help noticing the discourteous leave-taking. Se Fulate noticed the demonstration im- mediatel; and promptly gave the necessary orders to take the Vizcava back to port. A few miuvtes later the crufser anchored in the same spot which she had formerly occupled. Almost instantly the hisses of the Yankees ceased. Senor Eulate then said to his men, I am going on shore entirely alome. When you hear the report of a revolver let loose your Euns upon the ‘city. Then the commander of the Vizcaya landed and walked calmly among the multitude which had_hissed before, and without hearing a sound of disi t the brave seaman returned to the cruiser and sl welghed anchor. There was not a single hiss. Another article speaking disrespectfull the people of the United States is heade ot “In Over a blg pleture representing the battleship Maine being blown up by a submarine mine, the mine and the wire from Morro Castle being shown, is the heading, ““The Pretext for the War of Inter- vention.” Underneath, after ridiculing the idea that the ship was blown up in that way, the paper savs, ‘‘We must remember this Maine, Spaniards and Americans, ail our live: The editor and proprictor got his start in San Francisco from Yankee patronage. The advertisements in his paper of San Franclsco advertisers outnumber all the others. In justice to the advertisers in this city it must be stated that they were not aware of the attitude of El Comercio in the present war, otherwise they would have long ago withdrawn their su; from mFs pro-Spanish Yankee hil:{)r:st' scribbler. ——————— Three Hundred Spaniards Killed, If 300 AMERICANS can kill 300 SPANTARDS in 300 days, how many Americans will it take to kill 10° Span- fards In 100 days?

ROOMS WERE ONLY BOXES FIVE VICTIMS HAVE BEEN FULLY IDENTIFIED. Injured Survivors, With One Excep- tion, Are Out of Danger—Morbid Crowd Visits the Morgue. In all probabflity the five unfortunates who perished in the fire and smoke at the Oregon lodging house night before last never realized that death was upon them when they groped blindly and sleepily for an exit from the fire trap in which they lodged. It was a ten-cent loaging house, patronized only by outcasts, the moral and physical derelicts of Barbary Coast and the water 1ront. Occasionally, perhaps, an honest labcrer, with but a dime left, would seek shelter there for a single night, but Le would never return a second time. For the past five years the place has been known to the police as a rendezvous for morphine and opilum flends, vagrants and drunkards of both , and when the fire broke out nearly all were in a drunken stupor or dazed by drugs. One of the survivors, whose in- juries may yet prove fatal, {llustrates this. He says he heard a racket for sev- eral minutes before he got out of his bunk, but thought nothing of it. Then he heard the crackling of the flames and noticed tue odor of smoke, and thinking some- { thing was wrong got up and went to the | window. He saw the fire pouring out of the open hall aoor and started to go | downstairs. Opening his door he was cn- | gulfed in flames, but he ran through to the rear end of the hall on to the porch ard jumped into the back vard. He managed to drag himself out of there and was sent to the Harbor Hospital. The building was a veritable death trap, with only a narrow stair leading to_ the street. The two upper floors, about x50 feet, had been Hrtillox\ed off_into boxe which were called rooms. There were fourteen of these on each floor, and iLe dilapidated beds, the only furniture in them, occupied all the space. Lodgers were’ evidently expeoted to bring their own bedding or sleep in thelr wearing ap- parel. The ground floor was occupied | by Chinese fruit and vegetable peddiers | as a storeroom and sleeping apartment. It s supposed a lamp exploded down- stairs, and the dry wood was soon aflame. In another instant the fire reached the stairway and shot upward, shutting off the only exit from the lodging house. The damage to the building is not very reat, the fire huving been confined to the | Fllways. The dooes 1o the sleeping | rooms were burned and tue inmates were suffocated while they slept or burned to death in endeavoring to get down the stalrs. Charles Holmes, the crippled newspaper vendor, was found on the floor in_ his room. 'He lay partially under the bed. In the debris yesterday near the door his two crutches were found. Both were | broken, indicating that he had made fran- tic efforts to escape a flery death. Joseph Cuneo, who owns a number of such bulldings as the one burned and has given the fire department endless trouble by constantly violating the fire ordinances, 1S the owner of the shack. He bought it several years ago and immediately con- verted it Into a cheap lodging house. Cu- neo has already made preparations to re- new the partitions in the house. It was built about forty years ago and at one time was a popular boarding house under the management of John Hogan. Hogan sold out and went into the insurance bus- iness. Cuneo had no Insurance on the property,. probably because no company Wwould write a_policy on it. Edward M. Kennedy, one of the injured who was taken to the Harbor Receiving | Hospital, has only one leg. He was asleep | on the top floor when aroused by the cry t “Fire.” He opened his door and dashed toward the stairs without walting to get his wooden peg_which he usually wore. | In going down the stairs he fell headlong | into the flames, but he managed to habble | to_the rear porch and let himself down a | | 1adder into the back yard, where he was found by the firemen.

None of the three latter are seriously injured. All day yesterday there was a stream of people climbing the stairs to the Coro- ner's office on Merchant street. Some were prompted by morbid curiosity, oth- ers were friends of the dead, but all came with the one request—they wished to en- ter the gloomy portals of the dead house a few doors below, where lay five charred and blackened bodies in the plain coffins which have been used to convey hun- dreds of bodies of unfortunate dead. Few were allowed to enter. The bodies had already been identified, and there was no need of exposing them to the eager and curious throng. In a few days they will be buried, and those who were their friends will have the opportunity of tak- ing the last look at them before the earth cloges over them forever—not as they are now, blackened, distorted, disfigured, but neatly cleaned and prepared for a decent burial. Late in the afternoon came two who stood apart fromhthe rest. They gave no names, but their names would be known only to the few who frequent what is known as ‘“the coast,” but they deserve a high place in the roll of honor. Both were poorly dressed and ave evidence of being women to whom ollars are precious. They had been friends of Kate Connoly in life, and came to proffer their services and what money they could raise toward giving her a i urial. i “1 have been around seeing my friends,’ sald one of them, “and have raised a lit- tle money to pay for the funeral. All have given a dollar. None refused or umbled. I have very little money my- self, but I will manage to spare $.

She was recently released from the House of Correction. Her mother is said to be living in Oakland. Charles A. Holmes, aged 50, was a well- known figure at the’ ferry, where he has for years sold newspapers. Frank Kelly, aged 24, and Robert Kern, aged 26, were both longshoremen. In the first list of the dead Kern's name was printed as Joseph Hansen. Kelly's brother, who was with him in the Oregon House, but escaped, is taking up a sub- scription along the front to give his brother a Christian burial. —_— Policeman’s Sudden Death.
