CANvAss1NG THE BOARDS.

4 Hot Battle Anticipated Before the
Election Commissioners.
To-day committee consisting of two of
the Board OF Election Commissioners will
meet in the Registrars Office to canvass the
last appointments made for precinct boards.
TaX-Colector O'Brien will be one of that
committee, and in all probability the other
one will be Mr.. Strother.
The registration is now moving along
with comparatively little friction. Close
watch Of the work is being kept by APP
pointees of the Republican County Com
mittee, and everything possible done to
crowd the work along. The Republican
committee has resolved upon one thing,
that if the Democrats are going to hold off
for precinct registration, they (the Republic
cans viii get as near through with their
own party registration as possible so as to
be the better prepared to guard against
fraud on the other side. 1t grows palmer
each day that the scheme OF precinct regis
tratjOn has been hit upon by the boss" to
stuff the rolls, and for that reason more
than any other the Republican COM
mittee has determined to demand equal
representation on the precinct boards. Inc
fight Will be a hard one, and without q
doubt will finally have to be decided in
court. The Democratic majority of the
Election Commission will attempt to throw
the Republican County Committees attor-
neyS " cat of court N the ground that the
law as amended, Section 1142 of the Politi-
cal Code, refers simply and solely to pre-
cinct election boards, and makes no pro-
vision whatever for precinct registration
boards, hence the latter boards must be ap-
pointed according to the provisions of the
old Registration Act.
On the other hand the argument will be
made that registration and election boards
are the same according to the Registration
Act; therefore, if new law makes new
provisions for boards Of election, the same
applies TO boards Of registration.

Club Meetings.

The Executive Committee of the Repub-
Ican County Committee met last night at
their rooms in the Nucleus Building and
mapped out their plans for frustrating the
scheme of the Democratic Board of Election
Commissioners to leave the Republicans
with only one member on the precinct
boards Of registration. 1t was resolved to
appear before the Board Of Election Com
missionerS next Monday and demand the
appointment of an additional Republican
on each precinct board. and if the demand
was refused, then to apply to the Supreme
Court fer writ of mandamus
Said Chairman Myers of the County
Committees 1.-THE importance OF this mat
ter can hardly be oyerestimated. There
are $40 precincts in this city, in each OF
which Board of Registration sits five DAYS,
from 9 O'clock in the morning until 10
o'clock at night. 1t is a physical impossi-
bility for the one Republican on each one
Of these boards to remain at his post the
whole of this time. He must absent HIM
self for few minutes. Surprising the DEM
ocratic end of the board during these
periods of necessary absence register ille-
gally two names per day, for the five days.
That would mean 800 Illegal Democratic
votes in this city alUne-enough 10 turn the

MADE A BIG SWELL.
The New Cruiser Creates IA Com
motion on the Bay.

Quite a cOmmotion was created on the
bay and docks yesterday by the new cruiser
San Francisco, which was out Tor squirt
for the first time since she was on the Hun
tel's Point DTy-dOck to have her bottom
cleaned. This was probably her last trip
before she goes down to the Santa Barbara
Channel to make her official trial trip, and
as Captain Lockyer says, Captain Miner
GOOdall Just "whOOped her up.
The cruisers anchor was hOlsted ,early in
the morning and she moved slowly around
the bay Tor awhile and then went back to
near her anchorage. She then started
down the bay, and the speed She made and
the swell she created was something abnor-
mai. At her bow she threw mass OF
water clear up TO the hawse pipes. Old
sea captains who were watching her de-
clared that she must be making at least 20
knots an hour.
Just as the San Francisco passed Mis-
sion Rock one of the ferIy-bUats lett her
slip on this side. She saw the cruiser
coming ana blew two whistles to indicate
that she was going to pass to port. The
cruiser answered with one whistle and
passed across the feTry-bOat'S course like a
flash, While she was yet half mile away.
The swell the cruiser created was some
thing remarkable. The vessels at anchor
in Mission Bay and lying at the hay wharf
AT 1ulIu anu DtIIyiSlltbtA IOlltu anu luSotu
just as if a heavy southeastern was blow
ing accompanied by a heavy sea.
The stern-wheel river steamer Leader
was backing out from Third-StIeet Wharf
and the heavy swell caused her wheel to go
clean out Of the water, when the vessel
pitched. The wheel raced and the en-
glne stopped and the captain thought he
had been struck by tidal wave.
The schooner Daisy Rowe, which was
made fast at Broadway No. . was caught
by the heavy swell, and, surging ahead,
parted her stern lines and striking the
Bonita had her jlbboom carried away.
Out on the bay the swell was also felt.
The little iron Waterfront Water Nymph,
Captain Harvey, was crossing tile bay and
the captain says he saw the swell coming.
He put his helm hard a-StarbOard and
thought he would be swamped. The first
wave of the swell struck the boat, came
over the rail, struck the side with great
force and then went down into the engine
room. The Stanch little craft got head
on to the swell and rode it out all right,
but the captain says 1t was as bad as being
on the bar.
The Red stack tug Sea Queen, Captain
Tom LOCkyeT, was towing the British ship
ROutenOurn over To Oakland as the cruiser
pass ed down. The tug was towing along
side ,and,as Captain Lockyer saw The heavy
swell, he Stacked up his lines, being afraid
that he won Id be lifted bodily on board the
ship or 10 or suffer great damage.
1he cruiser certainly made better time
than she has before, and excited great adj
mira ton among seaiarIng men who were
watching her great burst of speed.

Fine Large Fresh Fish Selling for Three
Bits" Apiece.
The war between the fishermen on the
Sacramento River and the cannerymen still
continues and the results that large quanti-
ties of salmon are brought to this city every
day and sold at ruinOus prices Yesterday
while housewives we're paying 10 and 12R
cents pound for salmon in the markets
they could have gone to the Fishermen's
Wharf and purchased all they wanted for
less than cent a pound.
In the afternoon ten or twelve boat-loads
of large salmon that had been caught in the
morning were exposed for sale. Some
weighed as high as forty pounds, ana they
were sold cleaned at a uniform price of 50
cents each. A eolOred man made money by
selling gunny sacks at cents each to wrap
the fish in.
fisherman told a CALL reporter that
the rich fishermen were mostly Greeks and
that they had formed a combination or
union and agreed not to sell to the can
neries below a certain figure. If a ma n
breaks the agreement, he said, Che will be
killed sure and his boat destroyed"
The regular felucca men complain greatly
about the river men coming and taking
berths at their wharf. They say thsy pay
no dock dues and hurt their trade so that
several of the regular fishing boats are laid
up. The wharinger and collector at the
wharf, they say, are doing politics" at San
Jose, and they have no one to complain to
to make the invaders from up river pay
dock dues.

a Dive Habitue Nearly Acquitted of a

Annie Wilson, who has pursued the IN
savory calling of "box rustler" in Kearny
street dive, was in Judge Murphy's court
yesterday, being tried on the charge of
stealing S225 from David Morck. The lat
ter visited the den and accompanied Annie
to private box, where they both INDUCED
in bottle or two of villainouS wine, sold
in groceries as vinegar, and when they
parted for the evening David found he was
short S225.
The accused woman's appearances must
be deceptive. She looks like good natured
German domestic, and few would suspect
her even of frequenting such places, much
less of being thief. With her in court
was her little three-year-old girl, an I'M
commonly prepossessing little child. Her
case was given to the jury about o'clock,
and at 10:3O O'Clock they returned and told
the Judge it would be impossible to agree
if they remain out a week, so they were dis
charged. They stood eleven for acquittal
and one for conviction.

The hearing of First Mate W. B. Taylor
of the ship st. Paul, who was charged with
characterization on the high seas, was re-
sumed before Commissioner Sawyer yester-
day, at o'clock. No new facts were de-
veloped in the testimony yesterday other
than the story brought out the day before
Captain Ford was recalled and so was Mate
Taylor. The REORGANIZATION of both tended
to show that while the conduct of the mate
was unjustifiabe, he was guilty of no direct
refusal to obey orders.
Commissioner Sawyer lectured Mate Tay-
lor on the Nervousness Of his general con-
duct, but dismissed the case against him on
the ground that the specific charge of in
subordination was not proved. Taylor was
beating the sailor. Sydney Jones, on the
high seas.
