TAX LEVY CONFERENCE. Girard and Cuvellier Ordinances Are Not Favored. OAKLAND, Sept. 2.—The Ordinance and Judiciary Committee of the City Council held a meeting to-night to con- gider the tax levy, which must be finally fixed not later than next Monday.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 808 Broadway, Sept. 27. n “There is only one star in our company—and that is not Maude orrell.” Oaklanders are not altogether satisfled with the lack of op- portunity given to its two fa- vorite actresses, who. are with the Modjeska company, now at the Macdonough. Miss Maude Morrell and Miss Grace Dora- thea Fisher have been some months with Modjeska, and much curiosity was shown when it became known that the company was coming to Oakland. An effort was made to induce the management to produce “As You Like It,” so that Miss Fisher, who has been with Modjeska two years, could show her friends what she could accomplish. This re- quest was denied and the two actresses are assigned to very minor parts. Miss Fisher is the daughter of one of the oldest teachers in the Oakland High School, who died a year ago. Miss Mor- rell was engaged to a wealthy young man, but, despite the protests of her family, she joined the company three months ago. In speaking of the two Oakland girls Count Charles Bozenta, the husband of Modjeska, sald: ‘“There is only one star in this company. I am sure we can make some- thing out of Miss Morrell. She does exceedingly well in her Miss Fisher is Improving all the t'me, but she will However, small characters. insist on wearing those curls down the side of her face. we have only one star in our company.” & K Kk k **—l************i****************.**ifi****{*-"—#******** A sk ok ok ok ok ok sk ok ok sk ok koK ok ok ok sk sk ok sk ok ok ok ok sk sk ok sk ok sk sk ok ok ok sk ok ok ok ki ok Rk sk ok R R R I K 3 R % K X R EEETEREEEEEEEERE R R R R R R R R E R R R B R B R RN MORE BITUMEN ON MARKET STREET STREET COMMITTEE FAVORS REPAVING TO VAN NESS.

It Amounts to About $120,000, and ‘Will Be Presented by Adjutant General Barrett. Adjutant General Barrett, accompanied by Lieutenant Colonel Burgin, inspector of rifle practice of the National Guard of California, will leave for Washington, D.

There will be a settlement, and when that is reached the State will have a neat sum with which to proceed with the work of reorganizing the National Guard, The two officlals expect to have the whole matter settled within thirty days, and they will then return to this city.

She is wanted for horsewhipping an engineer named O. D. Freeman.

HAS OBTAINED TS DESAE Deal Completed for a ' Big Cannery. ANNUAL FORTUNE IN WAGES BIG BONUS AND SITE ARE FREE- LY DONATED. Board of Trade Closes the Terms With King, Morse & Co. of San Fran- . cisco. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Sept. 29. San Leandro wil soon be a busy manu- facturing center, for in a few weeks’ time work will begin on one of the largest fruit canning establishments in the State. This was decided upon at a meeting last night between the representatives of a San Francisco firm, the San Leandro Board of Trade and various citizens who have been interested for months in rais- ing a bonus to induce the new enterprise to commence business. Last evening Mr. Morse, of the firm of King, Morse & Co. of San Francisco, met the promoters of the enterprise and each side was prepared to put forward its in- ducements. On behalf of San Leandro a cash bonus of $3000 was offered, in ad- dition to a whole block of land near the depot for the cannery. This bonus is al- ready in hand, having been collected dur- ing the past year, and as soon as ground is broken the money will be handed over to the firm of King, Morse & Co. The canning company agrees to build a cannery which will handle not less than 200,000 cases of twenty-four cans in a case each year. They agree that not less than 50 cents shall be paid for locai labor for each case, which means that $100,000 will be paid for labor each fall in San Leandro. This news has been received with much cing by the town. The movement to procure a cannery was started about a :ar ago_by the Board of Trade, Rev. ather McAvoy (since deceased), Rev. ton J. Parry and other citizens. A B n effort was made to raise a bonus of $5000, but this was modified, and a large site was donated. The bonus has been subscribed by nearly everybody in town, including the school children. It was started %e(‘auss there were many vacant houses in town, and it was realized that there was no hope of the town's growth except @ manufactory could Be obtained which would supply work and income for the people. Considering the size of the town the bonus is a large one. A GREAT HOSPITAL. To Be-Located on Angel Island and Erected at Once. As published in The Call’s dispatches from Washington yesterday, it has been declded by the War Department to erect in the near future, upon Angel Island, a general military hospital, fitted with most modern appliances, that will have accommodations for 400 beds and supply any demands that may be made upon the medical department of this :ro‘lll in any future emergency that may arise. oMo Timé ago_Colonel Middieton, the chiet surgeon of this department, recom- mended the building of this hospital and he decided that for climatic reasons Angel Island would be the most desirable loca- tion. It was found by General Miller that it would be absolutely necessary to have this hospital, as the Post Hospital could not begin to accommodate the sick, and when the winter came on the gar son troops would have to go in their bar- racks again, now beinfiuaed ag the Divi- Son Field Hospital, General Miller and Colonel Middleton discussed the ,matter and it was decided to recommend that a general hospital be erected here and this was done. The authority from the War Department authorizing the erection of the hospital is most gratifying to the offi- cers. e hospital will be for the use not only of the soldiers returning from Hon- olufu and Manila, but from any point within the department as well. Yesterday General Merriam, Colonel Middleton and Major Matthews went over to Angel Island for the purpose of looking over the ground with the view of selecting the most desirable site for the hospital. Work upon the building will be commenced at once and it will be erected by contract. It is the Eurpoue of Colonel Middleton to rush the hospital rapidly to completion so as to be able to accommo- date the sick soldiers t{mt will shortly be returning from the Philippines and Hono- lulu. The hospital will be the largest of its kind upon this coast, and every facility known to modern science will be employ- ed to render it of the best possible char- acter in its service. The situation in the Seventh California Regiment remains unchanged. Yesterday the men were busy flllnfi their applica- tions. This requires much work, as they haye to Lear their company commander’s indorsement and then have to pass through the colonel’s hands before being forwarded to General Miller, and from him they have to go to General Merriam. Captain Alfonso, the adjutant of the regi- ment, had up to yesterday afternoon re- ceived the_ applications from four com- anles, and he expects them all to be in E_v to-day. From the number so far re- ceived it is eveident that nearly 9 per cent of the men want to be mustered out. When all _the applications are in they will go to General Merriam, who will then make his recommendation to the War Department. Until he makes this and it is acted upon there remains nothing that can be done by the men but to wait. In the Interim, however, the regiment is un- der orders to go to Manila, although Captain Pratt proceeds with the work of getting the regiment ready to be mustered ou By the order of Major General Merriam, E. B. Moseley, surgeon, U. 8. Captain C. Thompson, assistant quar- termaster, U. 8. A., and Captain T. U. Raymond, U. S.
