UNION IRON WORKS, San Francisco, July 26, 1898 Hon. John D. Long, Secretary of the Navy, Washington, D. C.—8ir: On behalf of the Union, Iron Works, and in its name, I thank yod cordially for your letter of July 21, commending the performance of the Oregon, and I beg to add that it has been with great pride that we have looked on her performance, not more as her ;)(I)A'lll;lers than we have as American citi- American designed and American built, she has offered & new lesson to older na- tions regarding the functions of a battie- ship, and we are proud in the fact that under the most trrlns circumstances it has been demonstrated to your satisfac- tion and approval that our contract has been well and conscientiously performed. But with all this, we believe that much of the success of all vessels is based on their intelligent handling by thefr skilled officers, subordinates and men, without Which their usefulness would be greatly impaired, if not wholly destroyed. Next to the satisfaction enjoyed by us over the performance of the Oregon comes the gratification felt by us at the recog- nitlon so generously accorded to us by the ‘]fi;)lf:‘u'lmwnl nf] the Navy and so courte- sly conveyed to us through yo - ored self. Respectfully oatre, oo non INION TRON WORKS, By H. T. SCOTT, President. In the light of official and unofficial reports of the great naval engagement of July 3 near Santiago it appears that the Oregon was foremost und most ef- féective in the fighting. Had the Oregon been absent from the station at the time Cervera’s fleet sought to escape the Cristobal Colon's dash would have been successful and the Vizcaya might have eluded the Brooklyn. In his offi- c.la] report of the engagement Captain hlaik of the Oregon says of the Spanish eet: As these vessels were so much more heavily armo than the Brooklyn they might have concentrated up- on " her ‘and overpowered her, and IT EXCEEDED RAILROAD COMMISSION - FUR- THER RESTRAINED. Cannot Proceed Under the Robinson - Complaint—Case Continued Till After Counsel Have Been Advised. A decision in relation to the application of the Southern Pacific Company, End‘ other corporations, for a peremptory wrif ot prohibition, to be directed to the Board of Rallroad Commissioners, compelling it to refrain from taking further action in the matter of the complaint filed with the Board by John R. Robinson, was handed down by Judge George H, Bahrs yester- day. Although the decision is not final, the restraining order heretofore made on the commission will be continued in force until the further order of court. The power of the court to prevent fur- ther procedure on the part of the commis- | sion was invoked by a petition presented | by Collis P. Huntington, as a private citi- zén; Henry T. Scott and Charles . Green, as executors of the will of Charles F. Crocker; the Southern Pacific Com- pany, Central Pacific Rallroad Company, énu(h?m Phcific Rallroad Company, Bouth Pacific Coast Railroad Company, Pacific Improvement Company, Western Development Company and the Market Street ilway Company. In addition to the petitioners—two of them private cor- porations in no way engaged in the busi- ness of common carriers—Complainant Robinson joined, as respondents, six pri- vate individuals, two private corporations and Jane L. Stanford, as executrix of the will of Leland Stanford, making in all nineteen respondents, of whom but four are engaged In the transportation of freight and pussengers, The power of the Board, the court holds, s, in the main, to establish rates of charges for the trans sengers and freight by r transportation companles, and publish the same from time to time with such charges as they may make. Irom this central power all subsidlary powers ra- | dlate. ‘hat then are such subsidlary powers?” reads the complaint: First—To examine books, records and papers of all railroad and other transpertation com- panies, and for this purpose they shall have ITS JURISDICTION | power 'to issue subpenas and all other neces- ADVERTISEMENTS. | Postitively cured by these Little Pills, They also relieve Distress from Indigestion and Too Hearty Eating.

Without going into details with which, it may be safely .assumed, you are as well acquainted as the Depart- ment, it is sufficient to say that the performance of this vessel in making, under ¢ircumstences of grave exigence,; the voyage from San Francisco, California, to Key West, Floride, without delay or accident of any kind, is of itself highly creditable to her builders; but the. fact +Hat after having successfully accomplished such a voy- aze the vessel was found to be ready at once, without re- pairs or attention, to enter into the activities of an important navel cempaign, renders her achievement most memorable, as one which challcenges the admiration of naval experts throughout the world and becomes a subject of 2 especial gratitude and pride on the part of our own people. The "Oregon" is in all'of her complicated parts,of American design, materials and workmenship, and she has shown her- self to possess the highest qualities sought to be attained in a great battle-ship,--a wide practical radius of effi- cient action and splendid fighting capebilities. Since these results are not achieved by accident, but reveal high technical ability as well as thoroughness and honest fidelity in the countless details of construction, I have considered it proper to address to you this expression of the apprecia- tion of the Department of the manner in which you fulfilled in building the United States battle-ship your contract 'Oregon.

There are nineteen respondents, five | only being in any manner railroad or transportation companies. For this rea- son, it is held, according to the judicial | jurisdiction given the commission, the complaint must stand or fall, and, pro- | | ceeding on this postulate, as the commis- | | sion refuses to dismiss the Robisson com- | | plaint, the court is satisfied t the | | | complaint must fall. No matter what | the hesitancy has been in the past, no | matter how blind the way ' states the | opinion, by a decision in what is known | as the Nebraska maximum rate case, a | broad and clear road has been based for guldance, and, tested by that case, the complaint must fall. The court, in the decislon, refuses to interfere with any exercises of the legis- lative power of the commission and states | that after the complaint is filed, from | many objections, ‘“the commission, with | its large pow can quicKly compel obe- | dience to a lawful exercise of its powers.

One of the finest lots of fresh water fish that has come into this city since the season opened was brought In yester- day morning by J. 8. Brownell of 132 Mar- ket street, from the McCloud River. They were caught by a party of three—C, P. Waterhouse, S. Morton and Mr. Brownell, the first being the host. He has a beautiful camp, bearing his name. The party started out after 38 o'clock, and be- fore dark they landed 110 of the finest rainbow and Dolly Varden trout that the river affords. Mr. Morton had the pleas- ure of hooking a Dolly Varden that scaled 43, pounds, and Mr. Waterhouse landed | quite a number of the rainbow variety | that ran from 2 to 2% pounds. As the stream is muddy the anglers had to aban- don fly fishing and use salmon roe for | bait. Mr. Waterhouse and several of his | guests will remain at the camp for a week or so longer. | — e————— | THE CRYSTAL SWIMMING BATHS. | Physiclans recommend the Crystal warm sea | water tub and swimming baths, North Beach. —————— First Bankruptecy Law Case. | The first bankruptey petition under the | | new law was filed and granted in the | | District Court yesterday morning.
