There was a very heated discussion in | the boardroom of the Harbor Commission- ers yesterday, and at one time it looked | as though two of the disputants would ) | come to blows. The lie was passed, but luckily the big table at which the Com- | missioners were seated was between the | disputants, £o the matter ended there. The principals in the controversy were Darby Laydon and P. F. Dundon, cnn-; tractors; Howard C. % en- gineer of the Harbor Commission. and E. | M. Herrick, president of the Pacific Pine | Lumber Company. The subject under dis- cussion was the quality of "the piles fur- nished the board for repair work on the front. It appears that Darby Lavdon has the contract for supplying 32 piles for repair work at the Main-street wharf. The speci- | | fications called for “Oregon yellow fir | pine,” and Laydon offered an article which Chief Engineer Holmes refused to i accept. The contractor tried to prove that his article was as good, if not better, than the pine called for in the specifica’ tions, bul Holmes, who seems to be! | watching maters with an eagle eve since | he was called down so hard by the board in connection with the irregularities in the matter of gonstructing the Howard- street dock, codld not see it that way. He =aid Laydon's piles were “white pine,” | while Mr. Herrick designated them as/ “bastard pine.” At this point Dundon remarked that when the bids for the work on Main street were about to be opened he had asked the board to define what was meant by ““Oregon vellow fir pine: and Holmes told him the “white pine would_not be accepted. Dundon had the words hardly out of his | mouth when Laydon jumped to his feet and said, “If Mr. Dundon says he made any such a statement to the board or asked any such question he lies and he knows it.” “Call me a liar exclaimed Dundon, and he started across the room, but was stopped by Percy Henderson, the chief wharfinger. Dundon then compromised by calling upon Holmes to verify his statement, and the latter said that some such question had heen asked, and that he lolg Dundon in reply that he was look- ing after that part of the business. The incident stopped there. After the discussion was over the board decided that the piles offered by Darby Laydon were not up to the specifications and that he would have to S\lple’ the yellow pine pile for the work on Main- et whart. *President Kilburn is confined to his home by a slight illness, so Commission- ers Harney and Herold were the only members of the board present at yester- day's meeting. A petition signed by all the lumber merchants ¥ho use Channel | o | that Union-street wharf when | cation will receive full consideration. street was read. It asks the board to! dredge the creck. as the place has shoaled up to such an extent that only vessels of | a very light draught can now get up be- yond the drawbridge. Commissioner Her- old said that Captain Charles Nelson wanted to be heard on the proposition, so the matter was laid over. In the meantime Chief Engineer Holmes will look into the matter and make a report. Dr. Kinyoun, United States quarantine officer, was given room in the new ferry | depot at a monthly rental of $40. ! . Wilson & Co. asked that a spur| be laid to connect thelr coalyard | the belt raflroad. while the San Francisco Coke and Gas Company asked that a connection be made between its glnn( at the foot of Mason street and the | elt railroad. Both matters were re. ferred to the chief engineer. The Alaska Commercial Company asked | U is rebuilt and covered should bo assigned to them. | When the wharf is completed the appli- | track with Captain Jordan's Narrow Es- cape From Being Killed by a Car. —— Captain “Newt" Jordan. the pilot, had a narrow escape last Tuésday. He was to take the collier Wellington to sea and was on his way to the front on a Sutter- street car. Near the ferries he jumped off without noticing a McAllistér-street car coming up behind. The latter struck Jordan, knocking him fully ten feet. The car was smrge , but not before the fen- der was within an inch of the pilot's head. Captain Jordan took the Welling- ton to sea, but when he got home had to g0 to bed.' Yesterday he could not move h imself, and it will be several days before e can be about again. Chief of Police Sullivan paid an official visit to the water front vesterday. He expressed himself as'highly satisfied with Captain Dunlevy's management of things around the ba. The French bark Normandie, which left here February 25 with 60,850 centals of wheat vaiued at $60,850, is grobnhl a total loss.

It is not a little man or a weak one who can play the part of Manfred and utter without becoming | ridiculous such ‘a burst as the famous apostrophe— | Oh, Rome! my'country! city of the soul! | To Byron the ruins of his own life were quite as much a matter for conce the ruins of the Eternal City, and so great Is the power of his expression that as we | read we share his conviction. And the strength of Byron expresses it- self in the simplest passions and with the greatest simplicity and directness of ut- | terance. There is nothing ideal or super- subtle in the work of this great earth- born Titan; nothin, of the peculiar ‘‘heightening effect of style” in his verse. All the more on this account do his out- | bursts seem to come from and speak to | the heart. The cry of Manfred, | Astarte! my beloved, speak to me! the lines which served as a motto and an 1n‘sp!rm|nn for one of Shelley’'s noblest | odes, Yet. Freedom, vet, thy banner torn but fiying Streams Itke a thunderstorm againet the wind, the summons to Greece to rise for lib- erty and the call to his own heart to| shake off its unworthy shackles and seek honorable end—all these move us with the grand force of an utterance of | nature. | Since his death Byron's fame has been fr»nler upon the Continent than in Eng- and. This is partly because his e | lencies ‘are universal, and his defects in | diction and meter such as only a native would detect. .But there is a more potent cause than this. Byron is identified with the cause of ravolution and the struggle for national liberty. At the darkest hour of the cause he flung his splendid parson- ality Into the scales, and it was worth an army of lesser men. He was deep in the councils of the revolutionists in Italy: he gave his life for the liberation of Greece. The poets of revolution for fifty vears to come—Leopardi. Heine, Pushkin, Hugo— looked up to him as their maste: Byron s in no sense one of the peculiar glorfes of English literature; he is in a very real sense one of the makers of the modern vorld. b T. M. PARROTT. Princeton University Just as Thorwaldsen's famous Lucerne lion is cut in the side of a rocky cliff and is surrounded by a grotto of natural rock, out of which it seems to have sprung be. fore the mighty javelin Jaid it low in death, so Wordsworth must ever be as- sociated with the environment of his na- tive lakes and hills. They are his natura! background. They supply the form, color and sound. as it were. to his verse; in deed, they interpret in the inflnite variety of their monfestations the workings of a heart and mind in perfect harmony with them. Every poem written, every story told, has its x-rnrer background—the ‘set- {ing Is as eseential to the thought as the scene to the dramatic action—but to eyery | mood and thought of Wordsworth, in truth to his very life, the lake district seems to be essential. But never for a moment must it be fancied that Wordeworth used his surroundings as Scott impressed the scenéry of the nelghboring country into his service, nor as Byron selected the choice places or the world for his dra- matic situations. It you wish to test this statement, try to reconstruct the landscape after a de- scriptive passage from worth. He never describes for mere description. It would be counted strange if nature could be caught mugln’ itself for picturesque effect, and such Is the naturalness of Wordsworth's workmanship that _the poet can never be sald to bave arranged R DDA D DD S S Y S Dwars rested there and brought back to the city by Detective Crockett. e ALL FOR TEN DOLLARS.
