His Honor Declares He Will Not Name Members of Commissions Until Vacancies Are About Due. S Sy Mayor Phelan denled, absolutely, last for several days, that he would appoint Commission to succeed Dr. W. F. McNutt, whose term will expire on January 8. This has been golng the rounds. It has not only been heard in the clubs, but also has been given currency in fraternal or- ders, Leing heard in lodge rooms, where it has been received with credeace by many. ‘When Mayor Phelan was informed of the extent to which the story had been spread he said: “There is no truth in the story at all.” “Then Mose Gunst will not be named by you for the position of Police Commis< sioner to succeed Dr. McNutt?” “'Certainly not,” said the Mayor. As to whether Mr. Gunst had been sug- gested as an available candidate to ste) fito the, official shoes to be soon vacateq by Dr. McNutt the Mayor offered no in- formation. He admitted, however, that who should be appointed to fill the sev eral positions in the various city com- missions- Clvil Service Commission, the Board of Education, the Police Commission, Fire Commission, the Electton Commis- sion, the Park Commission and the Board of Health—which will become vacant next week by reascn of the expiration of terms as one-year appointees. He declined to “How about the story that you have determined to name C. W.

The gross output fof copper for the year is 14,287 877 pounds, as compared with 9,968,000 in 1399 Without taking into account the gold shipped by the Geyser Marion earlier in the year, the gold out- put is placed at 186861 ounces, which shows an increase of nearly 14,000 ounces, or about $280.000 over last year's report. The output of lead last year is surpassed this year by 4260664 pounds, while the silver production exceeds last year's rec- ord by 940,792 ounces, and comes within 192,616 ounces of reaching the record of 1892, which was the banner vear for the white metal in the history of Utah min- ing.

The Inyo Register says: Indications are that work on the Monteauma mine, southeast of Big Pine, will be vigorously pushed.

Pending the at the mine, a number of car loads of ore will be shipped to Seattle Seven men are employed at the | erection of machine | for ‘Workine. mine. A noticeable feature of the copper trade of the present year is the relatively small increase shown by the monthiy reports of | the producers. Thus the statement of John | Stanton, who acts as statistician for the | companies, gives for the United States in | November a total output of 23,276 long | tons of fine copper, which is only 259 tons more than in December of last year, a gain of 1.1 per cent. For the eleven monihs ending with November the production re- ported was 246,763 tons, which is greater han that of the corresponding months of last year by only 855 tons, or 3.6 per cent. | Moreover the reporting companies showed | an actual Cecrease this year of 85 tons, or 0.4 per cent, the gain coming entirely | from the outside sources—the smaller non-reporting mines and the smelting companies—which are credited this year with a gain of 9400 tons, or 33.6 per cent. It appears, therefore, that the active de- mand did not stimulate production in the | older mines, as might have been expected. A parallel result is shown in the impor- tant European mines, the total preduction from these for the eleven months having been 81,5848 tons, or almost exactly the | same as last year, the difference being a | decrease of 32 tons, ASK TARIFF REDUCTION. Cuban Alcaldes Petition for Lower Rate on Sugar and Tobacco. HAVANA, Dec. 29.—A delegation of ten Alcades from the province of del Rio visited Governor General ‘Wood with a petition for a reduction of 25 per cent in the tariff on sugar of the United Statew against Cuba and 50 per cent in the export duty on tobacco, in order to enable the planters to recoup on those important island industries. Governor Wood is favorable to the petition and will recom- mend to the Secretary of War that it be granted, as he considers it bighiy, Smpot £ ant to the peace and prosperity of Cuba.

Mr, Anderson expects to remain in the city for a few days before he con- tinues his journey to the State capital. He was asked last night to express his | views of the Speakership situation, in which he Is so intimately concerned. | | “I have the utmost confidenee,” he said, “that my candidacy for Speager of the Assembly will be honored by my fellow members with success. I have already oc- cupied the distinguished position to which I again aspire, and naturally the worth of my service must be determined by my associates and the public at large. It is | very gratifying to me that I have now | only one opponent for the position which I seek, the others who had appeared in the field having withdrawn in my favor. It is a matter of which I am naturally | proud—that my old associates in the | sembly, with perhaps one or two excep- tions, have unequivocally declared their | purpose to vote for me for the position of Spealker. “It {s perhaps unnecess say that in my candidac { tion I have made no promises to any member of the Assembly, nor have I given any assurance in reference t~ the formation of the various committees, some of which will have to perform at the coming session duties of an exceptionally important character. 1 have met many of the gentlemen who have been chosen as legislators, and I can say emphatically that I believe that the character of the men who Have been selected is as high | as that of any body of men ever dele- gated by the State to serve its interests in a legislative capacity. “In my interviews with have urged that our best policy will be to go absolutely free to Sacramento, to view the various interests there involved, and, untrammeled and unpledged, do our | best to serve the interests of the State. “‘Some of the most important measures ever presented for legislative discussion | at Sacramento will come before us for consideration. From a partisan point of | view, which I conceive is the least im- | portant, the reapportionment of the State | will be the measure which shall demand | our attention and necessarily will create greatest interest.

NEW TIME CARD Two Additional Trains Be- twe:n San Francisco and Los Angeles. Speclal Dispatch to The Call LOS ANGELES, Dec. 29.—The Southern Pacific Company has practically decided upon its proposed new passenger service on the coast line, and the new card wiil increase the passenger accommodations between the two cities by two additional trains, making a total of five which will then be available. Assistant General Agent Luce, who I just home from the north, sald to-da: that the new time card, as partially fi ured out, will take a train out of Los Aj geles for San Francisco daily about p. m. of the same day. In the companion Tun south-bound the train will leave San Francisco about 8 a. m., reaching Los An- geles about 11:45 p, m. of the same day, making the trip altogether almost in day- Ll]ght and avoiding the necessity for a ceper. This ‘service will be limited gnd thor- oughly modern in every way, patterned after similar accommodations on the big Eastern roads. This train will run on express time and will make stops only at the most important points. A second train will be run on the same line, leaving here daily about 3 p. m. and reaching San Francisco about 8:30 next morning. This train will carry sleepers and will be a local for the accommodation of all points along the route. It will leave San _Francisco about 7 p. m. and will reach Los Angeles about 12:30 p, m, the next day.
