4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1898. NAVAL MEN ARE BOOMING DEWEY FOR PRESIDENT Nothing Stands in His Way. ONLY HIS WISH NECESSARY WILL RETURN AS THE HERO OF THE WAR. . San Francisco Expected to Lead in a Series of Great Popular Demon- strations in His Honor. Bpecial Dispatch to The Call Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, Dec, 1. The prospect that Dewey may yield | to the wishes of his friends and admir- ers and consent to become a Presiden- tial candidate is much discussed here at present, especially at the Army and Navy Club. It is pointed out that on December 13, 1899, Rear Admiral Dewey is to be re- tired, He is expected to reach San Francisco in March or April, 1900, just the nominating conventions meet. It is expected his reception there will be a tremendous ovation, equaling surpassing that when Grant landed | from his trip around the world. Dewey's trip East will be that of a seror. Wherever he passes great | onstrations will be held, and the eyes of the entire nation will be riveted on him. | A naval officer, discussing the matter to-d: said in reply to a question as 1o | Dewey’s political predilections: “It| makes no @ifference. General Grant:be- | Jonged to no party after the Clvil War, | but the Republican party claimed him | first, and that settled it. It makes no| difference to what party Dewey belongs | now; the party that nominates him will nominate the winner. | “There were six rear admirals on the | active list when the war began, and all of them w kept in the background; not one of them was permitteed to go | to sea. Naval officers were thus held | back, just as General Miles w . But Dewey's performance was something that no politiclan could foresee. He is the real war hero to-day nd he will | remain in the forefro: until 1900. “1 remember when the Civil War con- lieutenant | to | cluded and Grant was general, the politicans a undertoc shelve him by giving him the thanks| of Congress, a handsome .sword, the | grade of general and whole oceans of | -ry, but it did not work. When the me Grant announced he wanted | sidency, and the politiclans soon got out of his way and jostled each | other about in thelr efforts to get into his band wagon. That will happen in | 1800, when Dewey come | HYDRAULIC MINING ‘ IN THE KLONDIKE, New Regulations Adopted Whereby the Yukon Pioneers Have an | Advantage. NEW YORK, Dec. 1.—An Ottawa (Ont.) epecial to the Herald says: ula- for o The areas are to| ave bee in the tions mi ng be from one to fiye miles in length and | will be granted only by public tender. Ex- | ception is made, however, in the case of | parties from the Klondike who have al- ready applled. They are treated as pio-| neers, and not only get their concession without competition ‘or payment of bo. | nus, but are exempted from dues. These| dues are $150 a year per mile frontage | and_obligation to perform assessment work yearly to the value of $5000. | On all ‘commissions, however, the usuai | royalty will be collected on an output of | over $2,000 a year.

Other conditions are that the applicant Lurnishes proof of haying resided In _the Yukon and file a certificate that he has | examined the ground applied for, pros- | pected it and ascertained that it'fs not suitable for mining by ordinary pincer | methods. | A number of Americans have qualified under the pioneer clause and will get their areas subject to special advantages.

Indirect Methods Adopted for Secur- ing the Much Coveted Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company. NEW YORK, Dec. 1—At a meeting of the directors of the Union Pacific Rail- road held in this city to-day it was de- cided to recommend to the stockholders, at'a special meeting to be called for the purpose, that authorization be given for an exchange of Union Pacific stock for that of the Oregon Short Line Company. It is proposed that in the event of the stockholders ratifying this action ex- change shall be made for at least two- thirds of the Oregon Short Line, while as to the remaining one-third the matter of exchange shall be left to the discretion of the Union Pacific directors. By the proposed exchange of stock the Unfon Pacific will be placed in a position whereby it will be enabled to elect one- third of the directors of the Oregon Ralil- road and Navigation Company. Under the existing voting trust of the latter the preferred shareholders. elect two-thirds of the board of directors and a majority of the preferred stock is held in escrow for the joint benefit of the Union Pacific, Great Northern and Northern Pacific com- ganies. The ownership of the Oregon Short Line stock by the Union Pacife, therefore, will give the Union Pacific the | control of the affairs of thé Oregon Navi- | 3 s ation Company, and therein lies the chief | nificance of to-day's action by the ‘nion Pacific directors. OBSTRUSTIONS IN SAN FRANCISCO HARBOR Congressman Loud Striving to Secure | Legislation for Their Removal. WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.—Congress- man Loud hopes there will be a river| and harbor bill passed by Congress at the coming short session, for he -is anxious to secure an appropriation for the removal of Arch and Shag rocks, which have for so long imperiled nav gation in San Francisco harbor. | Through his efforts Congress provided | for surveys, and thé engineers’ reports | recommending their removal and sub- mitting estimates of the cost will be | transmitted to Congress by the Secre- tary of war. The War Department engineers’ re- ports will show Congress that Arch Rock is a bold,” high rock, standing thirty feet above low water and is very conspicuous, situated about two- thirds of a mile west:of Alcatraz and half a mile north of the regular chart course followed in entering the harbor. Shag Rock No. 1 les in the track of ferry-boats plying between San Fran- cisco and Sausalito. It is a small pin- nacle rising four feet above high water and surrounded by deep water. Shag Rock No. 2 was developed by a récent survey. It has an area twice as large as No. 1 and only seventeen feet of water above it at mean low tide. If No. 1 is removed it would be essential to remove No. 2, which would ptherwise remain a dangerous hidden . obstruc- tion. The combined cost of removing these obstructions would be $638,620. LEPEE FOR A FOOTBALL GAME ON-CHRISTMAS DAY University of Wisconsin Team Anxious to Play the Victorious Berkeley Boys. MADISON, Wis., Dee. 1.—Negotiations are pending for a football gameé ‘between the universities of Wisconsin and Califor- nia, to be played in San Francisco on Christmas day. Some time.ago a propesition was sent from Wisconsin to both the Universit- of California and Leland Stanford Univer- ity proposing a game with the winner of the annual contest between those two in- stitutions. Since the victory of Califor- nia in this game, for the first time in seven years, a telegram has been received here from Stanford University saying: “We can play .marbles, buf not foot- ball.. Too many of our men are fighting Spaniards.” Nothing definite has yet developed con- cérning. the game with California. but a game on Christmas day.is among the nos- bilities.

JENNINGS, La., Dec. 1.—The Sunset Limited transcontinental train of the Southern Pacific Company, westbound, was badly wrecked at 4:30 o’clock this evening two miles west of Jennings, on what is known as the Grand Marias. The train left New Orleans at 11:20 o'clock to-day. It was running sixty miles an hour at the time of the acci- dent. It is impossible to tell the exact cause of the wreck, but it is surmised that an axle on the locomotive gave way. The pony trucks left the rails and ran 300 feet on the ties. The engineer reversed his engine, but could not stop the train, which was under full speed. The engine finally left the track en- tirely and plunged down an embank- ment, the forward end dropping and the engine turning completely over, where it lies on its left side over half submerged in water and mud. It was miraculous that there was no loss of life. Engineer W. E. Ragsdale of Houston was caught in the cab and his left foot badly mashed. Fireman H. Booth of Hous- ton had his back and shoulder se- verely sprained. Conductor Richard Qualtrough of Houston had his spine seriously in- Jjured. Chief Air Inspector Cox of Boston was caught in the engine, on which he was riding, and fatally injured. The first three cars left the track, jumping from the trucks, and lie down the embankbent. The limited carried forty-three pas- sengers, none of whom were injured. Among the passengers are the wit- nesses in the Botkin case. TITLE NOT SECURED An Interesting Lawsuit Which Will Reveal Some Peculiar Land Transactions. SALINAS, Dec. 1—A lawsuit was transferred yesterday afternoon from San Francisco to the Superior Court of Monterey County, which promises some interesting developments and the prob- able exposure of how numbers of men and women of the metropolis ~were in- duced by smooth-tongued real estate dealers to invest their all in lands in this county, payment to be made in install- ments, and then lost, all because no title could be acquired. The case just transferred is brought by C. G. Meyer against Francis Doud, the latter being the wealthy Monterey Coun- ty capitalist. The plaintiff is a San Fran- clsco hack driver, who has been saving his earnings for fifteen years past. The | comg t alleges that a man named Charles Orpin entered into an agreement with Meyer, whereby the latter was to be- come the purchaseér of property in the Doud tract, near Monterey City, to the value of $1700. From December 1, 1884, Meyer regularly paid weekly and month- ly instaliments ranging from $8 to Under his agreement with Orpin, Meyer was to pay up in full on November 1, 1847, and having paid him previous to that day $1603, tendered the balance due of the $1700 and asked for his deed. This Orpin said he could not give. Meyer then ten- dered the money to Francis Doud, but he, claiming to be ignorant of the transac- | tion, refused to accept it. Meyer then | brought suit. It appears further from investigation that the suit is also an out- come of the failure some twa years ago | of the real estate firm of Carnall, Hop- kins & Co. of San Francisco, and is only the precurser of many others. From the records it {s shown that some time dur- ing 1893 that real estate firm offered Mr. Doud the sum of $80,000 for his property. They did not buy outright, but simply bonded the land, which they at once laid out In town lots and sold to clerks and numerous others of small means in San Francisco. When Carnall, Hopkins & Co. failed they also became unable to meet their obligations to Mr. Doud. Conse- quently, it is claimed the agreement for the sale of the Doud tract was forfeited. Further, Mr. Doud having received no money consideration for the land from any one, positively refuses to give deeds to any lots purchased from either the real estate firm of Carnall, Hopkins & Co. or thelr agents. Some queer transactions of certain parties are said to be ripe for exposure when the case is brought to tnnl{hwhlch will be during the present month. R PURCHASE OF PILATUS. | The Great Trotter Secured by a Louis- ville Syndicate. -LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 1.—One of the most' important .harness-horse deals of the year has just been consummated by the purchase of Pilatus, the trotter, by a Louisville syndicate for $10,000. The deal’ was made at Des Moines, Iowa, by Frank Kenny, secretary of the local trot- | ting_association, who negotiated with J. l?zlggc”‘clellan. The horse has a record of 2:09%. SALES OF THOROUGHBREDS. Condemned Brood Mares Relegated to Farm Service. LEXINGTON, 'Ky., Dec. 1.—Winter sales of thoroughbreds have closed, 634 head selling for $1248%, an average of $192. The average was kept down by 100 condemned brood mares that were bought in by the Breeders’ Protective Associa- tion for a:song, and will be disposed of for farm horses, thus ridding the breed- ing ranks of inferior producers.

OBSIDIAN FINISHED SECOND HUGH PENNY NARROWLY ES- CAPED A BEATING. Limewater Won at iecisure From. . Anchored—uord Marmion Downed by Yankee Doodle—Four Fa- vorites Finished Ahead. The betting ring creaked and groaned and swayed after Moringa won the high weight handicap at Oakland yesterday. The wise ones strode about with bung- starters bammering his odds down from 8% to 1to 2 to 1. Many of the block men turned thefr backs to the coin handed up to them. Obsidian opened favorite at 3 to 2, but nobody outside of the stable seemed to fancy the brown colt’s chances. Mor- Inga carried Piggott and 116 pounds in the saddle, and he was the popular candi- date. Piggott got him away well, and at the head of the stretch he was in front. ‘When the wire was passed he was still in front, with Obsidian two lengths away. The track was not fast, still-the winner stepped off the six farlongs in 1:15%. Rosormonde and the balance of the com- pany finished irregularly. The lines back of most of the books resembled the dem- onstration in front of "the postoffice at Dawson City on mail day. Twenty book- makers cut in yesterday, and if they could have heard about this race the chances are twelve of them would have refused to cut. It was a solar plexus punch, and thirteen of them ave still won- dering why they laid the price. The first choices proved of the substan- tlal sort, four out of six getting home with the coin. They were all well sup- ported as well as the two_that did not command first call in the betting. It looked as if Lothian, the Burns & ‘Waterhouse entry in the opening scramble for two-year-olds, could choke off his field, but at the finish he was not num- bered among the first three. Almoner, ridden bY‘ Turner, led all the way, win- ning easily from Crossmolina, an outsider. Polka, unevenly ridden, was third. This was followed by the downfall of the favorite Libertine in the six furlong run. The big sprinter seemed to have the class all over his company, yet when it came to the show down the last elghth of a mile, Soscol, a 6 to 1 chance, showed the bay horse how it was done, passing the wizre two lengths to the good. Quite a fast bunch of speed finished behind the leading horses, many of them well backed. Some of them were short, and others possibly their riders didn’t fancy. In the spin for iwo-year-olds over the futurity course, Limewater closed favorite Jover Midlove, and won blinking from Anchored.

SMALL GANG PUT TO WORK OFFER OF $2,000,000 CASH FOR THE SITE REL JSED. No Bids for the Property Will Be Considered by the Man Who Still Believes His Luck Will Win Out. . J. Baldwin has at last begun the work of tearing down the tottering walls of the burned hostelry that have been for more than a week a constant and dangerous menace to the lives of pedes- trians whose ‘business took them in that vicinity. But it was not regard for the lives of citizens or a desire to obey the mandate of the Fire Commissioners that induced him to begin the work. It was rather the fear that continued indiffer- ence of public sentiment and the require- ments of the law might get him into seri- ous difficulties with the authorities. It was rumored on the stréet yesterday morning that Baldwin was about to be arrested for refusing to obey the orders of the Fire Wardens in regard to the int- mediate removal of the ruins. This was later denied, but the fact that a score of riggers suddenly put in an appearance shortly before noon and started to work gave color to the story that Baldwin had been coerced into making a bluff at com- plying with the law. Baldwin says he has not opened the bids submitted by professional contract- ors yet and will not do so until he gets good and ready. “I am a pretty good wrecker myself,” sald he, “and I will see what I can do. [ have twenty men at work, but if I find I can get the work done cheaper by con- tract.I may let it out.” The wreckers succeeded in pulling down the fragments of the cupola and a small section of the wall on the Market street side, but owing to the nature of the work and the small force employed progress was necessarily slow. On the Powell street side the work of removing the remnants of carpets, broken furni- ture and fixtures that have no value in the eyes of anybody but Baldwinandthe junk dealers ~was ° continued uninter- ruptedly. 5 r. Baldwin still clings to the idea that he will be able to erect a grand struct- ure to replace the burned hotel and the- ater, and he has thus far persistently re- fused to even consider anypm&ositlon!or the purchase of the site. Madison & Burke, his agents, have received several bids for the pmgffly including one for 52,000,000 cash, which they advise him to gcdce t.
