A committee from the Knights Templar apneared before the Super- visors' Electricity Committee and pe- titioned for nermission to erect poles along Merket street for the proposed scheme of {llumination during the conclave to be held in this city next September. The committee desired to erect additional poles from New Mont- gomery street to the ferry. Chief Hewitt of the Department of Electric- ity was requested to prepare an esti- mate of cost of the work. The com- mittee also desired to have the City Hall dome illuminated at night dur- ing the conclave and will make a writ- ten petition to the Supervisors to that effect. The commitiee stated that it would expend $25,000 for illumination and decoration.

Hardly had this mes- | sage reached Captain Russell before he was visited by a representative of the Government, who stated that he Was| authorized to assist the captain in| every possible way, and assured him | that President Diaz had already com- | municated to the warring companies instructions to immediately remove the | Acapuléo’s freight from the wharf to the vessel under penalty of being im- prisoned and forfeiting their conces- sions in the harbor. There was some show of deflance to the President’s message at first, but| when several Government officjals ap- peared on the scene and gave out the information that Diaz had wired them to call on the military if it was found necessary to promptly execute his commands, the rival shipping forces quickly turned their attention to the Acapulco’s freight and hurriedly trans- ferred it to the vessel, which finaily proceeded on her northern voyage after half a day’'s delay. Just before the Acapulco sailed Prel-i ident Diaz sent word to Captain Rus- sell that he deeply regretted the dis- courtesy shown him in a Mexican port, ! but,assured the commander of the Aca- puio that the incident would not be repeéated and that in no circumstance would the Government permit any in- terruption to the commercial relations between that country and the United States. ‘When the Acapuico left Panama all was quiet and the United States fleet was busily engaged in the bay of Chame at target practice.
