The Call, believing that the acceptance or rejection of the new charter by the Legislature is a matter in which every per- son is interested to a greater degree than in any other measure that will come up for final actic n at the coming session of the Legislature, has, as far as has been possible to do so, taken a poll of the Assemblymen and Senators who are entitled to seats in the Legislature on the subject of their views concerning the disposition that should be made of San Francisco’s new charter. Replies have been received from more than half of the legis- lators, and in no single instance has a reply signified a desire to vote against the ratification of the charter. lators were non-committal for the reason that they were unfa- miliar with the issues involved, petent to express an opinion one way or the other. however, were outspoken in their desire to ratify the major: wishes of the voters of this city This majority favorable to the ratification of the charter is so overwhelming as to leave no doubt as to what the result will be when the question is to be put to a vote dur- ing the coming session of the Legislature. charter election.

List of Sick and Injured Larger Than Ever Before in the History of the Game at Palo Alto. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call. CONGRESS SPRINGS, Nov. 18.—The Stanford football squad arrived at Con- gress Springs Hotel to-day at 1 o’clock, for a week’s secret practice before the with Berkeley next Thurs- day. There are thirty-four players, Coaches Cross and Clemens, '93; and Manager Prichard. As the drew up before the hotel they were greeted by the feve: convalescent squad that was sent up last Tuesday to recover from malarfa. They are all very much im- proved. The men were in fine spirits, but they do noet move and look like athletes reo”v for the finishing touches after a season’s training. Trainer McLeod #ald th-+ their apparent listlessness was due to the hot weather they had on the university campus and the very Bard practices before coming up. It is | hoped that the mountain air will soon | | have them edge. The inexperi- enced colts of this year’s team are a | different aggregation from the old vet- | erans of last year's team. They over- rua the place, and are as anxious as small bovs to try every game and see everything within two miles of the hotel. The men on the injured and sick lists are more numerous than ever before in the history of the game at Stanford. The following men with good varsity prospects are shelved: Fisher, slightly stale; Wilson, right varsity tackle, has good ball. Murphy is in fine fettle and is full of life. His punting, however, is not what it used to be, but this may be due to the bad fleld. He will be given a thorough drill in this depart- ment for the next week. The coaching this afternoon was performed by Cross, Clemens and Cap- tain Fisher. The following alumni coaches are expected: Code, '96; Harrelson, 5 Downing, '95, and Frankenheimer, The following men are now here: Wilson, James, Clinton, Emerson, Erb, Gilman, Rice, Daggett, Rusk, Plate, water on the knee, may be kept out of the game on account of it; James, tried | to play this afternoon but was soon | forced to retire on account of weakness which still holds on from his recent ill- | ness! Gilman, not practicing because of | a broken nose; Plate, a badly twisted | knee and will be unable to play for a | | few days. ¢ | The second team suffers more from Beckley, Beckett, Bidwell, Nourse, Mc- Fadden, Geissler, Eaton, Hill, Freeman, Faris, Burmister, Downing, Parker, Bentley, Murphy, Fisher, Sell, Blan- chard, Cox and Dole.

They have entered into a con- tract with the W. W.

The system gll to be finished on or be- fore March 1, 1899, and will be one of the greatest undertakings of this section. The cost of piping, labor, running ditches, etc., is estimated to be not less than $150,000. This system will eliminate all danger from a dry season. ——— RAINING IN SONOMA.

Cars of Dried Fruits Out Thirty or Forty Days and Nothing Has Yet Been Heard of Them. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Nov. 18—Fruit men are complaining of the delay in the arrival of California dried fruits and blame the Southern Pacific for unsatisfactory service. ? R. 8. McIntosh of Porter Bros. & Co. said: “We have had cars out thirty or forty days and have heard nothing from them. I don't know whether they are at New Orleans or not, but I do know all buyers are complaining they are not able to fulfill their contracts. It seems to me the Southern Pacific has acted very independently in the matter and could have given us much better service if it had wished.” Mr. Clappe of Francis H. Leggett & Co. said: “There are large arrivals of dried fruits, but they are far behind the ‘quantity which should be here and which is under order. At the beginning of the season we were persuaded by the Southern Pacific to route our goods by their system on account of superior facilities at this end of the line. But these facilities do not count for much as long as the goods have net arrived. Imposition of quarantine at New Or- leans caused a heavy congestion of traffic at that port, which was held un- til the quarantine was raised. Instead of sending these goods forward by rail the Southern Pacific waited for boat accommodation, which was restricted on account of Government demands. Although rates to the.receiver are the same whether sent by rail or boat the railroad company does not reap the full benefit if compelled to forward by rail. This explains the lay. The road has not considered the conveni- ence of its constituents and we have had to suffer. CATTLE AND SHEEP IN SPLENDID CONDITION Report of Stock Inspector Rehart on Southeastern Oregon and Northern California. REDDING, Nov. 18.—Stock Inspector S. V. Rehart, who has been busy during the fall months inspecting cattle and sheep in Southeastern Oregon, reports the herds in splendid condition. Within the last week, while in the Warner Valley sec- tion, he found one bunch of sheep af- fected with scab—a band of bucks, which he immediately took possession of to pre- vent the disease from spreading. What stock is left on the ranges is in superb condition, free from disease and rolling at. Delivery of three bands of the Sherlock sheep was made this week at Amadee, in Lassen County, the terminus of the railroad running north from Reno. The sheep numbered 10,000 head and were sold at an average price of szsgh Eastern agents being the purchasers. e Chand- ler sheep, numharlni 11,000 head, were lately driven from the runs to Honey Lake Valley, where they were sold to nccm(xlnt at an average price of $2 50 all round. But little attention is paid by shéepmen to the license tax imposed lodoc County, as none of the more extensive flockmasters have paid a cent on the tax account. Had the license ordinance’been enforced on the Sherlock and Chandler bands each flockmaster would bave had to pay $500 for simply driving through the county to ahlpplni points on the rail. tfif“ the cattle }fl‘l‘) h; tcoul'f‘ t&m oft s year were sold by Peter Tonningsen for delivery at South Omaha. The cattle 0 | were put on the cars at Reno. Mr. Ton- ningsen reports a better price for poor beeves than for fat, the former bringin, $4 40 while the latter brought but 1 from Eastern packing agents. Since Eastern buyers came into the Northern California stock districts, California cat- tlemen are as familiar figures in Kansas City and South Omaha as they used to be in_San Francisco. Many stockmen went East this year with cattle sold to the packing houses. EIGHTEEN SHIPWRECKED SAILORS REACH SHORE Taken From the Sinking Bark Jo- hanna by the British Steam- ship Peconic. NEW YORK, Nov. 18.—The British steamer Peconic, which arrived at quar- antine to-day, brought into. port eighteen shipwrecked mariners who were taken from the Dutch bark Johanna, which was found in a sinking condition. The Peconic sighted the Johanna flying signals of dis- tress on November 1i, in latitude 36:24, longitude $1:03, and took off the men, whom she landed here to-day. The Johanna sailed from New York on October 31 for Honolulu. On November 9 a terrific gale set in from the north-north- west, accompanied by enormou seas. The midship bulwarks and main hatch were smashed in and the deck beams broken, and the vessel began to take in water at an alarming rate. The ship was seen to weave and buckle like a basket, and it was feared that she would break in two amidships. Finally, on November 11, the wind and sea went down and the men clambered on board of the wreck and set distress sig- s. At 11 p. m. the Peconic was seen approaching, and lifeboats shortly after- ward came to their rescue. Captain Maars, the mate and several of the men ‘were more or less bruised. The Johanna was built at Albasserdam, Holland, in 18%, was of 1164 tons and was owned by J. Vi . She was laden with general merch: d machinery. gt FOR A NEW DEMOCRACY.
