FAMOUS CHURCH IN CITY IN GREAT BRITAIN FROM WHICH BOSTON RB- WHICH WILL BE USED AS A MODEL FOR A B N Epecial Dispatch to The Call. | LONDON, Dec. 16.—Boston folk, the | people who dwell in the drowsy little | English Boston, in Lincolnshire, are greatly pleased by the tidings that their parish church of St. Botolph may | serve as a model for the projected ca- |thedral to be erected in the American Boston. The two things they are proudest of are -their old church and their maternal relationship to their big Massachusetts’ namesake established by their Puritan ancestors. The Rev. George Wolfe Shinn, from the latter place, has been visiting the | Lincolnshire town recently to get some |1@ea how a modern St. Botolph would look at the “Hub of the Universe.” If he is at all susceptible to flattery he will certainly take back with him a | favorable report. ¢ St. Botolph's is a particularly specimen of old ecclesiastical architec- ture. It measures 283 by 99 feet and 18 one of the largest churches without transepts in all England. Its most im- posing feature is the tower, which | rises to a height of 263 feet and dom- | inates the landscape for miles around and was doubtless Intended by the butlders to serve as_a lighthouse by |1and ana sea as well as a campanile. |The country folk have affectionately | dubbed 1t “The Stump.” The founder's chapel s in the early | ecoratea style of Edward II (1307), while | the nave, afsles and western part of the SIGSBEE AEADY FOR THE CRUISE Sailing Orders Now Being Prepared 'for Portion of the North Atlantic Fleet WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—Salling orders are now in preparation for the third di- vision of ‘the second squadron of the North Atlantic fleet, which, in command of Rear Admiral Charles D. Sigsbee, is about to sail from Tompkinsville on a long cruise In foreign waters. The squad- ron has been ready for sea for several ‘weeks, but its departure has been delayed because of the disorder in the southern part of Russia and the international the government, it is stated, wishin, to avold any move that might be Inter- | preted as affecting either situation. The State Department now regards the Medi- terranean situation as warranting the appearance’ of the American warships in & friendly cruise. It has been more than & year since a dlvision of battleships, in command of Rear Admiral A. 8. Barker, cruised in the Mediterranean, and it was decided last summer, that the flag should be known there at the first opportunity by a squadronof crilsers. Besides the armored cruiser Brooklyn, Admiral Sigsbee’s flagship, the squadron consists of the protected crulsers Chat- tanooga, Commander Alexander Galveston, Commander William G, Cut- ler, and Tacoma, Commander Reginald F. Nicholson. After a cruise in the Medi- terranean visits to a number of ports the squadron will pass through the Suéz canal and will then separate, the Chat- | tanooga and Galveston taking leave of the flagship and going to the Asiatic sta- tion. With the Brooklyn and Tacoma f\will be permitted t Admiral Sigsbee will continue his cruise ', _either as moto! down the east coast of Africa, visiting| varlous ports, rounding the Cape of Good Hope and crossing to the east coast of South America, visiting the larger ports Admiral Sigsbee will. r ‘waters in the late spring or mer of next year, when he tached and ordered ashore.

He was its vicar | for upward of twenty years before, in 1633, he fled across the Atlantic to the | American Boston to escape persecution |for his views, and there, as is well { known, he preached until his death n ly twenty vears later.

The Ocean Shore Rallway Company first announced its intention to connect San Francisco and Santa Cruz with an | electric iine last May and many people expresed doubts that such a vast un- | dertaking would be completed. 4 | When the personnel of the director- ate became known all doubt of the suc- cess of the enterprise vanished. The directors and officers of the company B. Dean, president; J. Downey first vice president; Alfred D. Bowen, second vice president and gen- eral manager; Burke Corbet, secretary and treasurer; directors, Charles Webb Howard, Charles C. Moore and C. Carpy. When men of their standing undertake anything there can be but one result, an unqualified success. It remained for California capital to branch out and develop a rich and beautiful section of the State which had heretofore been neglected or over- lyukeg. A trip along the coast from San Francisco to Santa Cruz will con- vince any one of the wisdom of this great undertaking. The entire route fairly teems with beautiful townsites and in two years we will see suburban homes springing up in every direction, { for it will be possible for people who desire to live out of town to reach their work 'in reasonable time. The center of attraction at present is the proposed | town of Balboa, which is being laid out . by the celebrated architect, D. H. Burn~ . ham of Chicago, who was recently en- | 8aged to draw plans for the beautify- | ing of San Francisco. i At this point the Shore Line Invest- ment Company proposes to spemd up- resorts of every description, which in addition to the ‘superb bathing beach will attract thousands every day, and will be to the Pacific Coast what Coney Island is to | the Atlantie. ¥ . The application. of the Shore Line for a franchise through the city to Twelfth and Market. streets allays the fears of ‘many who disliked the idea of being obliged to travel on a street i car to Army and Illinois streets, where the vards and freight terminal will be located. A passenger depot located on Twelfth street will be a great con- venience to the public and the Super. visors have already reported favorably on the franchise asked for. A 'vast amount of cqnstruction ma- terial is being received daily at Santa Cruz and Ocean View, and grading, tracklaying, etc., is Frngrening at a rapid rate. The entire road will be double-tracked ~with 70-pound steel rails which will eliminate the many annoying delays incidental to the meet- ing and passing of cars on a single track road.

On the other hand, there was active liquidation man- ifest at one or two points, notably in Southern Pacific and in the Rock Island affiliated stocks. ' The official intima- tion that the Rock Island preferred dividend was to be suspended in Janu- ary was sufficlent explanation of the weakness in the Rock Island shares. The heavy selling of Southern Pacific was attributed to speculative holders who had counted upon an early estab- lishment of dividend payments on that stock and who found cause for the abandonment of their lapses, in the language of the annual report to the stockhoiders. In the body of the list there was evidence of free selling to taKe .profits under cover of the various points of strength. An incipient ad- vance developed after the appearance of the bank statement, but prices sub- sequently weakened to the lowest and the closing was irregular and not far from the low level. The banks showed the re-establishment of a surplus In reserves amounting to nearly $4,000,000, the improvement fn their condition be- ing principally dud.to the scaling down of their deposits, which résulted in a loan contraction of $11,7566,800. The cash increase of $3,120,800 proved about as expected.

But a very heavy demand has developed for remittances to London by next Wednes- day's steamer, which is the last to settlements.

The brilliant condition in the metal industries, especially copper and fron, has given special prominence to the speculation in securities connected with those ingustries.

Starting some twenty odd years | ago_with meager land holdings, an ex- | ceedingly limited production, and few facilities for handling, the- company now owns over 170,000 acres of oil ter- | ritory, its production is unlimited, and | it owns and operates the largest fleet of | efficlent tank steamers. in the world. Most of the company’s land is near tide | water, which it reaches by pipe lines at | three points—San Pedro, Ventura and | Port Harford. These lines serve as | | feeders to the company’s oil carriers. The company not only supplies the | local market, but is constantly reach" | | Ing out for new markets, at present ! supplying consumers at the Hawailan Islands, Central and South America, as | | well as British Columbia. The use of | crude oil for fuel purposes is practi- cally in its infancy and there is no | doubt that in a few years it will be common_practice in all parts of the| | world. The Union Oil Company, having unlimited quantities of oil, with its fleet | of tank carriers, is in ideal posifion to prosecute the introduction of fuel ofl in | new markets, and is rapldly doing so. The- company has two refineries, lo- | | cated at Oleum and Bakersfield, Cali- fornia. Although the largest and best | equipped plants of this character in the | State, plans are about completed by | which their capacity will be increased | many times. Both refineries are ideally | placed for making prompt, economica: | shipments. The Bakersfleld, reflnery is | located on the main line of the South- ern Pacific Railway Company, while at Oleum the same railroad runs direetly | through the plant, and, this refinery | being situated on the Bay of San ¥ran- cisco, the company has put up a whart capable of docking any sized vessel afloat. From these two refineries, which produce all kinds of refined oils, as welx as asphaltum, known as “the Maltha brand,” shipments are made to all parts e world. o‘F((*:r the distribution of its ofl in Calf- fornia,’ the company has seventeen sta- tions, located at the princlpal cities, among them San Franecisco, Los geles, San Diego, Santa Barbara am Ventura.
