SEEE SR Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL HEADQUARTERS, WELLING- TON HOTEL, WASHINGTON, March 6.— The Senate to-day passed a joint resolu- tion which will preserve the big trees in Sequoia Park. Representative de Vries will Tay it before President McKinley to- morrow for bis signature. Senator Perkins called up the joint reso- lution, which had come over from the House yesterday, and briefly explained its purpose to his colleagues. Senator Hoar suggested nformally to Perkins the pro- priety of an amendment authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to begin con- demnation proceedings at once, but Per- kins assured the Senator from Massachu- | setts that he was convinced that negotia- tigns for the possession of the groves would be amicable. If, however, con- demnationi proceedings became necessary | the measure as passed by the House made ample provisions for this contingency. Hoar then expressed himself as perfectly satisfied and so the resolution passed. Representative de Vries has invited Mrs. Sharon of California, who is here in the interest of this measure as.the representa- tive of the ladies’ club, to accompany him to the White House to-morrow morning that she may be present when President McKinley signs the resolution, in which the women of California have taken so deep an interest.

SALINAS, March 6.—The whole of Mon- terey County has recelved a coplous rain- | torm and from all indications the down- pour is not over. In the southern part of the county, where the rain was needed the | most, the heaviest precipitation is report- | ed and in all portions of Salinas Valley the farmers are jubilant. In the imme- | diate vicinity the precipitation for the | storm has been .9 and 9.52 for the season as against 8,08 for last year. COVELO, March 6.—The severe cold | rainstorm which has been raging in| Northern Mendocino County the past four | days, is detrimental to the interests of | the sheep men, who are suffering a heavy | loss of lambs. The storm shows no indi- | cations of breaking. Late plowing is de- | Jlayed. Grain that is in is doing well. The | recipitation for the past twenty-four | Bours is 281 fnches. SAN JOSE, March 6.—Several - slight | sprinkles of rain fell here during-the fore- noon. A strong south wind and heavy | clouds promise much more. It has been raining all morning in the Santa Cruz | Mountains. NAPA, March 6.—Steady rainfall con- tinues. The precipitation for the present storm is 153 inches and for the .season 11859 inches. For the same date in, 1899 it | was 10.18 inches. SOUTH NEEDS MORE RAIN.: Present Storm Only Benefits North- ern Part of the State. The storm of Monday and Tuesday has visited the entire State, from, San Fran- cisco northward, and has added .15 of an. inch of water to the already generous wet- ting received by this section of the State. Tt has also visited the Sacramento valley and given the farmers in that portion of | the country another lift. : In the mountains snow is now’ falling | and will, in time, add its quota of water to the irrigation of the fafms lylng at the foot of the hill slopes. . The south has not been so fortunate as the rest of the State. Though nearly an inch of water fe]l d“flnfi the rain of Sat- urday and Sunday, yvet the ranchers in the vicinity of Fresno, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, and, in fact, all through South- ern California, are a'long way from get- ting as much of a drenching as they need. The present rain has not gone much south of San Francisco thus far and there are no positivé indications that it will travel | any considerable distance down the coast. —_———————— Common whisky Is a curse—the Old Government is a blessing. ” > ‘s y 4 050640 4 I1LES Lo the positions of the several divisions | ent in command of the Portsmouth (N. | departure and Admiral Remey’s arrival ‘| board to-. | month.

WILL EXTEND CAR SERVICE T0 S MATED New Franchise Granted the San Francisco and San Mateo Line. Progressive Company Is Making Preparations to Build Elegant Fast Cars to Run Half- Hourly Trips. SRR T P Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN MATEO, March 6.—Last. evening the San Francisco and San Mateo Elec- tric Railway Company was granted by the City Trustees of San Mateo City a franchise commencing at.the intersection of San Mateo drive and Peninsula ave- nue and running thence along Griffith avenue to its intersection with Baldwin avenue, thence through private property to Third avenue, and down “Third avenue to a point opposite the Plaza and Burns Hotel, San Mateo City. The railfoad company had previously secured a right of way from the present terminus up to the point where the newly granted franchise at the northern limits of the city of San Mateo commences. It is proposéd to give a special fast service to 8an Mateo morning and evening, and it is estimated that the entire trip will consume one hour &, quarter_from Market and Third streets into San Mateo City, and one hour and twenty-five min- utes’ from the ferry to San Mateo City ie expected the company will run cars fery half hour during the greater part of the day, and possibly every hour after that until 11 or 12 o’clock midnight. The rate of fare to be charged was under. Btood to be 50 cents for the round trip or twenty-five cents straight fare each way. Doubtless the company will sell commutation tickets at the same rate as now obtains on the Southern Pacific Com- pany. | Special cars will have to be built for this service, equipped with high speed motors and fitted with all the modern require- ments of a first-class interurban and sub- urban street car service, Private right | lof way will be built in a most sub- | | stantial mapner along_the same lines that obtain in a first-class. steam road comstruction. This is_ neces- sary owing to ‘the speed the car are expected to attain, which is forty miles an hour, practically. precluding the use of heavier grades than are customary in a steam road service. . A large number of the leading residents of Ean Mateo attended the meeting of the ‘Trustees and expressed themselves fav- orably toward the granting of the fran- chise asked for and the action of the | board in unanimously passing the resolu- tion authorizing the use of the streets for the street raillway franchise was greeted with loud cheers.
