HE CANNOT DISCHARGE THEM WILL THEY BE EMPLOYED TO PURGE THE ROLL? The Registrar Reserves the Right to Employ the Appointees as He May Sea Fit. The fight between Registrar Bigi g 2 gy and | the Board of Election Commissioners ‘}?ok On a very breezy aspect yesterday. | The Commissioners held a protracted ses- | ston, lasting until nearly | & rece | pos 1 o'clock, with s until 3 for recuperative pur- , with Biggy still “‘given preference | 1 other business.”” The afternoon | not proving long enough to end the mat- | ter the Commissioners decided to carry over the proceedings until to-day, taking | Mr. Blegy up at 10:0 a. m, +he attack was led by City and County Attorney Creswell, ably seconded by Au- | ditor Broderick. Mayor Phelan and Tax Collector Block stood behind Biggy, some- times rendering assistance, while Sur- veyor Tilton took the position of “an at- tentive listener,” not mixing in the wordy war, but ultimately casting a vote to distribute Biggy’s office patronage among the members of the board, which Biggy did not want dome. The Commissioners in fact, decided that it was wise to ap- point fifteen new clerks for Biggy, each o recelve §12% a month, and to grant the | Registrar the undesired privilege of dis- | charging fifteen of his own men who were familiar with the duties of the registra- tion. The formal vote to compel Biggy to cut off these fifteen official heads was not passed before adjournment for the afternoon, out of courtesy to Mr. Block, | who was ‘absent at this Session, but un- mistakable notice was given Biggy that it would be done to-day. No claim was | made by Creswell or Broderick that the erienced men were to be dis- for cause,” the statement being y vouchsafed that the board wanted t of the patronage of the Registrar's ce, and would take it under the law. Apparently it made no difference to the majority of the board that the fifteen new men whom the board chose to. ap- | point were totally ignoramt of the data | connected with the present registration. | They were to take hold under a | Registrar who had no power to discharge them for crooked or inefficient work, and to do the purging of the registration lists. Big ck' that he objected to “run- | ning” an office over whose employes he had ne control was recelved with a quiet | smie. Attorney - Creswell stated that he | thought it would be well for the board | té divide up the patronage so that each H three men to name for positions in Biggy's office. He in- | formea the board that if any one of the five did not care to name three appoint- | ees he wouid be glad to il that mem- ber's share of the quota. One point which the antagonists of Biggy made against him was that he had falled to secure the return of the two registers from the fourteenth pre- cinet of the Thirty-sixth District, and_the sixth precinct of the Forty-third Dis- trict. Inspectors James H. Riley and F. Garrissere were said to be the delin- quents | "During the noon recess the two missing precinct books were turned in and that incident was closed. At 3 o'clock the board reassembled, and, being now f one mind, as long as pat- ronage was to be distributed every mem- ber had his list of three men ready to fill the proposed vacancies in Biggy's office. | member would have The names were read in turn by each Commissioner, while a large crowd of in- | terested applicants stood at the railing | eagerly watching to see what was done. Atto Creswell named Martin T. Cleary Parker W. Jones, Charles M. | Hackmeier. Survevor Tilton wanted Wil- | liam W. Bausman, Joseph Windrow and | John McCarthy Tax_Collector Block prese the names of Charles C. Purdy, John D. O'Hern and L. H. Hos- minsky. Auditor Broderick chose John Bore, John Donahue and Thomas R. Hart. The Mayor sald he.would have three men alsc. The board then voted that a list of three men as named by each Commissioner be considered appointed | ana that the new men should draw sal- | ary from the following day. The board then adjourned until this morning in order to give the membe | as Mr. Creswell expressed it, time to con | sider anything else in connection with the Registrar's office that nesded atten- tion. ater Mr. Biggy was interviewed. He aid that the resolution of the Commlis- sioners did not specify that the new fif- teen were to be put to work purging the registration lists. In fact, the board could not say what specific duties these men should have. It remained ‘for him after all to send men out to purge the register. He further stated. that he had consulted an attorney and was walting appointed. move. There Is maturally considerable anxiety among the employes of the Registrar to learn who the unfortunate fifteen will be in case Biggy is obliged to discharge that number. MATL GONE ASTRAY. Makes Trouble in the Postoffice. tion of the transport Arizona from Ma- nila to Honolulu at the last moment will cause a great deal of trouble in the Post- office Department. The Arizona had on board 35,000 letters | and three tons of papers for soldiers now in the Philippine Islands. These will; of | course, be taken to Honolulu, and it is | probable they will stay there until the | next steamer bound for Hongkong picks | them up. A number of the soldiers aboard | the Arlzona were recruits for regiments now stationed in the Philippines, and all | their mail will naturally be addressed to Manila in care of the regiments which they expected to join. An effort will be | made to get regimental lists for use In the | postoffice and sort all mail thoroughly, | DUt even if these can be procured it will | be a slow and tedious process, and the | chances are that many a soldier boy in | Honolulu will be anxiously looking for his sweetheart’s letter which fs patiently awalting his arrival at Manila. — e WANTS ITS TURNTABLE. Geary-Street Company Objects Tearing Up Its Property. The Geary-street, Park and Ocean Rail- road Company has determined to fight a resolution passed by the Board of Super- visors on the 15th inst.. declaring the turntable at_Geary and Market streets a nuisance and directing its removal. Yes- terday the raflroad company filed a peti- tion for a writ of injunction and issue against the Board of Supervisors' and W. | ¥. Ambrose, Superintendent of Streets, to prohibit thé carrving out of the resolu- tion.. The petitioner alleges that in case it was forced to remove the turntable it would be irreparably damaged. —_——————— Cavill Accepts the Challenge. Sid Cavill, the champion swimmer of Australia, has accepted the challenge of G. A. Landenburg, the Providence swim- mer, for a race from 100 yards to half a mile. His letter accepting the challenge is as follows: The &porting Bditor, Call—Sir: In refere to the whaiienge of G. A.

EXTENDS THE OLIVE BRANCH HENRY MILLER TO HEAL THE PAINFUL BREACH. To Bask Again in the Little Napo- leon’s Smile, and Big Attrac- tions Will Follow in Rapid Succession. Charlie Frohman wants to be friends again. He wants to come once more and play in our vard—otherwise San Francisco theaters—and looks for a game of forgive and forget all round. Some little time ago the Napoleon of managers got “mad.” He shook his fist, snapped his well manicured thumb nail agalnst the edge of his pearly teeth, spluttered, rushed into print and in every way gave the Far West to understand that he was “mad forever.” Time, however, has brought counsel to this most astute of managers, and if ever a man was sorry for deeds done Froh- man is that man. With a courage worthy a great theatrical deal, he ac- knowledges his fault, not in so many words, but in actions that go a great deal farther, and extends the olive branch’ in the person of Henry Miller, who opened at the Baldwin Theater last evening. Miller, metaphorically speaking, is Froh- man's apology. He is the first on the list of the Frohman attractions that will be offered to the local playgoers. He has paved the manager's way along the West- ern circuit which he out here, covering himself with glory, both as an artist and as a peace commis” siguer. SIr. Miller doesn’t believe half the hard things it has been sald that Frohman said about San _Praneisco. The actor however, admits that perhaps thé mans ger may have said he would send nomore Aattractions to the coast, but in thinking the matter over reason came to the res- cue of hasty, ill-advised decisions, and that by offering the best he now has atonement complete is made. “Mr. Frohman has decided to send all of his best attractions out here,” sald Mr. Mil successes will be seen in San Francisco with the original New York cast. Frohman {s more than anxious for San Francisco's approval and on my arrival here this mr»rnln§x I received a telegram from him in which he advised me to send him immediate notice of my reception here.” Mr. Frohman, in his desire to please | all sorts and conditions of playgoers, has | sent a_popular star with a varied repe toire that wili appeal to the tastes of all lovers of the drama. ‘‘Heartsease” is for the especial delectation of the romantic, “A Marriage of Convenience” for the ad- mirers of airy persifiage and telling wit, and “The Master” for the lovers of the strong, the sterling and the true. Gillette, Maud Adams and John Drew | are a few of the big attractions that are to follow in rapid _succession, and if Frohman keeps his word the coming theartrical season is likely to prove a love | all round. feas BERRY PLACE TO BE : CLEARED OF SHAME MAYOR PHELAN ORDERS CHIEF LEES TO ACT. The Massive Iron Gates That Were Erected on Sunday Removed by Superintendent of Streets. The denizens of Berry place, who erect- ed high boiler-iron gates Sunday morn- ing across the end of the street where it joins Crent avenue, were disagreeably surprised yesterday morning by a visit to the thoroughfare by Mayor Phelan and | Superintendent of Streets Ambrose. These | two officials carefully inspected the gates, and then the Mayor ordered the Superin tendent to remove them. A gang of nine city workmen appeared about 11 o'clock and carted the objectionable gates away to the city yard. No opposition was made to_the removal. The gates had not been long removed when Mayor Phelan dictated the follow-| ing letter to the Chief of Police: August 22, 1898. Hon. I. W. Lees, Chief of Police—Dear Sir: I am informed that you have taken: prelimi- nary steps to inforce order No. 106 (second ser- fes) of the Board of Supervisors by serving notice upon the owners, agents and tenants of Property situated in Berry place, calling their Attention to the illegal character of the occu- Pancy of premises thereon located. Notwithstanding the fact that this is a pub- lic street, some UNKNOWN persons yesterday morning erected iron gates across sald place, Which were removed by my order this morn- Ing by the Superintendent of Streets. You will pleasa enforce sald order of the Board of Su- pervisors as vigorously as you did In the mat- Yer of Quincy place, in order that this con- spicuous nuisance in the very heart of the city may be speedily abated. People are obliged to pass this street golng to and from the Cathe- @ral on California street,” the French Church on Bush street, the California Hotel and Thea- ter and the Polytechnic High School, and I am in receipt of letters from parents, whose. chil- dren attend the school protesting against the presence of so.scandulous a nuisance in the, midst of such surroundings and In =0 fmport- ant a section of the city.
