Some time ago the farmers of Colusa and the upper Sacramento called upon the managers of the railroad and asked for a reduction in the rates now in ex- istence on wheat, oats and barley. They recelved a flat refusal, and left the biz yellow building in anger. The situation was discussed and a delegation called upon Hatch Bros. to see if a steamer line could not be started.

At the next meeting of the Pilot Com- missioners a change will be made in the personnel of the pilot force. Captain Frank Murphy has decided to retire and his place will be filled by the appointment of Captain M. Anderson, Of all the pilots now in commission Cap- tain Murphy is perhaps the best known and best liked. Quiet, unassuming, cour- teous and before all a past master in his business, he has made friends wherever he went. Some time ago he began to suffer from rheumatism and not long ago his wife died. Then he declded to retire from active service, but every time he de- cided to senda in his resignation some- thing occurred to make him change his mind. This time he made up his mind for good and last Thursday he went out on_the Lady Mine for his last cruise. Captain Murphy was appointed a pilot in July, 1862, and during his thirty-nine years of service he never had an acci- dent. His judgment is unerring and ship- masters trust him implicitly. He will be missed on the front more than any man in the service. Captain _Anderson, who will succeed Captain_Murphy, is well known on the coast. He has 'been in the service of Charles Nelson and the Charles Nelson Company for the past fifteen years, and during that time was master of the schooper Laura steamers Lakme. Centennial and Charies Nelson. He is a skiliful navigator, a clever seaman and very popuiar among the shipping men. It is understood that the change will take place next Thursday. \Will Race to Honolulu. The barks Kaiulanl and Diamond Head and the schooner Irene went to sea in a bunch yesterday. The two former are going to race to Honolulu, but the Irene parfed company with them at the heads and started up the coast for Port Gamble, where she will load lumber. The Diamond Head and Kalulani both made Innf runs from the islands to this port, the former taking twenty-two days and the latter twenty-four days to cover the distance. Gaptain Peterspn of the Diamond Head claims it was a falr and square race, = but. Captal Dabel of the Kalu- lani asserts it was a fluke, . In any event Peterson says he will rove that his vessel won on her merits y beating the XKaiulani to Honolulu, while Dabel asserts vessel will beat the Diamond Head by at least four days. th vessels were to have salled at 8 p. but owing to some of the freight beinx it was two hours later before they -4 t away, They both towed to the light» ip unx then had to beat out tn‘uu against a strol southwest breese.

The tramp steamship Pleides arrived from Philadeplhia yesterday and probably will g6 into the coast trade. She was eighty-three days making the run. A stop was made at San Lucia for coal and on June 24 she had to put into Coronel owing to losing nearly a&ll the blades of her propeller. The Pleides brings a cargo of 3178 tons of coal and meneral merchandise consisting of whisky, iron pipe, canned goods and hardwa re. The steamship St. Paul will get away for Nome to-morrow. She will finis loading to-day and will then drop into the stream. Her owners are afrald that a neral strike will ve ordered and will E:ru the entire crew aboard from to-night n. The pllot boat America was out on a leasure eruise yesterday. She has been faid \ip a month for an overhauling and is now as trim as a yacht.

Notice to Mariners. Captain George B. Leavitt of the steam whaler Balaena makes the following report concerning the reef upon which his vessel struck: The reef extends in a 8. SW. direction from the end of Cape Chitnak, southside of S8t Lawrence Island, for a distance of one mile, then turning to the S. SE. for a distance of two miles. At extreme low water the part of the reef running to the 8. SW. Is out of water. There is a depth of ten feet on the 8, SE. end of the reef at high water. The longitude of the cape is correct, the latitude four miles too far to the north. Bearings given are m: netic. C. G. CALKINS, Lieutenant Commander, U. N., In charge. Shipping Intelligence. ARRIVED.

Campbell raised a point before Judge Murasky Fricay in the action instituted by Al Lewald against Treasurer Brooks for the recovery of sal- ary as a speclal clerk in the office of the Tax Collector that may result in a judg- ment declaring unconstitutional all of the elvil service provisions of the charter and leave the commission without an office. Lewald served as a special deputy In the office named for a longer period than six- ty days, the tenure of service of special clerks fixed by the charter. In his argument Attorney Campbell, who represents Lewald, stated that the action of the Civil Service Commission in certifying eligibles for the positions for- merly occupied by Lewald and the other deputies was based on authority which the constitution prohibits. In the consti- tution of the State it is provided that the Legislature shall not have the power to delegate to any commission the perform- ance of a municipal function. Mr. Camp- bell said that the act of the Legislature in ratifying the charter delegated to the Civil Service Commission the right to fix the qualifications of certain municipal offi- cers. This act on the part of the Legis- lature, Mr. Campbell urged, operated as a delegation to a commission the perform- ance of a municipal function, and was hence unconstitutional. In event Judge Murasky holds that the power to fix the qualifications of certain municipal officers is a delegation of a mu- nicipal function to the Civil Service Com- mission, the same is Invalid and the civil serylce provisions of the charter uncon= stittional. Judge Murasky has taken the case under advisement and will file his decision during the coming week. —_———— RETAIL DRUG CLERKS WILL HOLD REUNION Association Appoints Committees for the Affair and Elects Officers for Ensuing Term.
