The Blatant Followers OF the Sand
Lot Orator,


The Blatant Followers OF the Sand
Lot Orator,
A conference was held in San Fran.
cisco yesterday between Mayor Kalloch
ard'a number Of prominent business
men representing the Citizens Pro-
tective Union. The details are not yet
made public, but it is believed that
steps were taken towards "insuring a
more. harmonious and mutually honora-
bic settlement of the questions which
have so long vexed this community,
and the restoration of goodwill, bust
ness confidence and activity and gen.
eral prosperity"
There was large attendance at the
Sand Lot meeting in San Francisco, on
Sunday afternoon, and Kearney made
On altogether new style ofspeech. He
expressed desire for conference be-
tween the leaders of the citiz3ns' pro-
tective Union and the leaders c. the
working NEIL on the Sand Lots, prom
Using the former respectful hearing.
He told his hearers that "ths objects
Of the Citizens Union had
been misapprehen1ed, that they
intended to use the association for
the ameliora:ion OF the condition of the
city for the good Of the lsboring classes
and the restoration of prosperity; that
neutrality-suspicious. men had taken ad-
vantage of the movement to create the
impression that violent measures
against the working men were intend
cd, whereas nothing Of the kind was
meant" Kalloch spoke in q similar
strain at the Metropolitan Church, the
same evening.

Ths Puzzle Solved,

ing of The Lodge last night he remarked
to his brethren that the Lodge was just

active minds to work and during a recess
the hat was passed around. Soon
afterwards "l5" persons stepped ont
of the room and march, d up to W aver !,
whsre "15" ice-creams were promptly
dissolved, though the puzzle OF "l5"
yet remains unsolved. The gentlemen
on suggesting the thought which led
to this happy "15" move took plate
of cream home to his wife completing

A Grand Project.

Hinton R. Helper, author Of the elm
pending Crisis" has deposited $4,000
in the Bank of commerce at St. Louis,
to be given in prizes of $500, $1,000,
$1,000 and $500 for the beat essay and
poems on his proposed enterprise of
building a Longitudinal midland
double-track railway" from Behring
Strait to Cape Horn, the whole length
Of both American continents. The ar
ticles and poems are to be sent to
President Thomas Allen, OF the Iron
Mountain and Southern Railroad, St.
Louis, before the LIST of October next.
The successful productions will be
printed in book, by pushing which
Mr.. Helper hopes to awaken such an
interest in the project throughout all
the countries from Alaska to Patagonia,
that all the requisite governmental
guarantees and charters will be granted
before October, 1882, and 100000 men
put to work on the road by that date.
Seven years at most, he says, ought to
suffice for the completion of the entire
line. The New York Tribune" says
Looking at the results sure to flow
from such road in opening new fields
of industry, in extending the influence
Of Anglo-Saxon civilization, and in
unifying and d developing the entire
American Continent, Mr.. Helpers en-
thusiastic eagerness to push the project
right along at once is not to be wonder.

DELAWARE PILOTS.

A Delaware hay Pilot tells the
Committee ON Commerce some
Trenehant Truths.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-The hear
ing in relation to the bill to abolish
compulsory pilotage was continued To-
day before a subcommittee Of the
House Committee on Commerce, and the
pilots closed their case.
Lester d. Scheltinger represented the
Philadelphia or Delaware Bay pilots.
Mr.. Scheltinger has been pilot for Al
years, his father was a pilot, and his
grandfather service as pilot began
in 1880. He describe the service re-
quired of apprentices and the power Of
the Wardens over the whole body
of pilots, in order to show that
tie profession is carefully guard
ed and effectively supervised. The
Philadelphia pilots have six beats,
which cost $4,000. One was stationed
of Absecom Light, one off Five-Fathom
Bank Light, two cruised of Cape Hen
lopen, and two remained in Delaware
Bay. One-third of the pilots lived at
Cape May, one-third at Cape HenloDen
and oue.third in Philadelphia. They
very seldom attempted to collect hall
pilotage of coasters, and the amount
collected last year from this source
was only SAL, all of which went to
the Society for aiding distressed Pr
lots, their Widows and Children. M.
ScheltinRer had frequently boarded
ships infected with yellow fever in the
line of his duty, and he described
some of his experiences Of this sort
One Summer five of the pilots died Of
yellow fever, and he was attacked by
the disease. He also caught small. pox
Oh a vessel which the law required
him to board. He had taken charge Of
ships full Of ship fever. In one case
there we're dead sailors on board when
he took charge and II more died before
the ship reached the lazaretto. After
speaking Of the hardships to which
pilots were exposed in storms, he re-
marked that pilots life was "not all
rosy" All the vessels which took
pilots were foreign. Last year he did
not act as pilot for one vessel that bore
the American flag. If the bill now
pending should pass, thesevessels would
still wantpilots to take them in, Lutithey
would use tugs in going out, and the
ship brokers would ge: the money
which thespilots get now. There vera
only three ships owned from stem to
stern by Philadelphia merchants. The
others were owned iu pieces mainly BY
commission men. Mr.. Scheltinger said
he was too old TO learn new business,
and he had not saved enough to sup
port him the remainder OF his life, il
his profession should bet2ken away
from him.
