THE SAN FRANCISCO.


The Vessel Equipped for a Three
Years. Cruise.
SAN DIEGO, Cal, Dec. 2S.-The United
States steamship San Francisco arrived
this morning. The trip was made without
stopping at Monterey. Rear Admiral
Browne said: 81 shall stay here in San
Diego until the secretary orders us away.
We are ready to sail on three hours no.
tice, but may stay in three weeks. All de-
ponds on our orders from Washington.
The ship is equipped for three years
cruise and we have one hundred rounds Of
ammunition for each gun. Besides this
we have 800 or 400 for other ships"
"What other shipss" was asked.
"Well, we may meet some other ships
that will want some ammunition" was
| the only answer. J.
| 1t is inferred that the Charlestown, now
en- route from Honolulu to Acapulco, is tx
meet the San Francisco and take on extri
ammunition. The Baltimore is also com
ing north from Gillian waters and ma,
want ammunition. While tho officers re
fuse to state. future plans, it is easy t.
learn that the vessel is ready for any en-

SENATOR PLUMB,s sUCoEssoR.
The List OF Candidates in the Race
for the Position.

The List OF Candidates in the Race
for the Position.
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 28.--Delegations are
arriving daily to urge the claims of the
different candidates for appointment to
succeed the late Senator Plumb Governor
Humphrey in reply to question as to
when he will appoint a senator said to-
day: tI want it understood that am the
one who will name the United States sem
ator. I do not think / can make the APP
pointment before the end of the week. l
shall attend to the regular business of my
Office and consider the claims of the vari-
GUS candidates as reach them"
The fight SO far is between Simpson,
Hudson and Perkins, but it is difficult to
tell who has the best of it aas Governor
Humphrey is dumb as an oyster.
Of all the candidates for the appointment,
ex-senator Ingalls, is the only one who has
no ieutenants on the ground working for
him. He is not even an avowed candi-
date. His friends, however, say he will
accept the appointment if rendered him,
but he will not go into a scramble for the
honor. The ex-senator had nearly all the
''practicar' politicians against him. They
urge that after his defeat, a year ago, he
refused to aid them in retaining the
state. But the ex-senator is unanimously
endorsed by the people of his own
town, Atchison, and has an enthusiastic
following from the Grand Army and is the
idol of the young republicans. He is also
in position to be settled upon as COM
promise candidate. He is making no fight
and, therefore, no enemies. His ability
the whole state recognizes, and it is agreed
that the state needs an experienced man,
particularly when the inexperience of the
new Kansas senator is taken into account
. Ex-Governor Crawford, who is in Wash
ingtou, telegraphed the governor to-day
that he was not a candidate and urged the
appointment of Major ]. K. Hudson.

The SOLDIER Monument.


The statement made by the PLAIN
DEALER last week, in good faith,
that the Chicago contractors price
was 40 less than Mr.. kline's, seems
to lack many grains of fact, which
leads Mr.. Kline to make a vigorous
protest against the conclusions OF
that paragraph. Not desiring to do
that gentleman any harm, has led US
to investigate the character Of the
work offered by him and that accept
ed by the committee, and such in
vestigation sustains the claim Of Mr..
Kline, that taking into account the
character Of the work, the material
used, and the quality OF monument,
the one proposed by Mr.. Kline as
compared with that to be furnished
by McGee T. Co., was nearly 5000 the
cheaper.
The monument to be furnished by
McGee & Co. will contain PA cubic
feet, the price paid is $110 per cubic
foot.
The monument that Mr.. Kline pro-
posed to build would have contained
300 cubic feet, a difference Of 40 cubic
feet.
The weight per cubic foot is 1870
pounds, which would have made 3d.
835 pounds, while the McGee monu-
ment will weigh but a, O55 pounds, q
difference OF $3.50, the additional
freight on that amount costing over
$4,000.
II Mr.. Kline could furnish such a
monument as he proposed at the price
Of his proposal and make living
profit, then McG ee 4 Co. have nice
plum with big profit, they putting
up round shaft which is the cheap
est style made, it all being done by
machinery; the square shaft in the
Kline monument being done entirely
by hand, and though consisting Of
but one piece contained more cubic
feet than the Nc Gee shaft in two
pieces.
The 46 cubic feet In the Kline pro-
posal in excess OF the cubic feet in the
accepted monument, multiplied by
the price per cubic foot stipulated for
in the contract, $110, would have
made the Kline monument worth
$500 more than the one contracted
for, saying nothing of its better char
acter when:done and without adding
additional freight charges consequent
upon its greater weight or for the cost
Of hauling and putting up over four
tons more Of granite than the pro-
posed monument will contain.
We sometimes hear the remark that
work can be obtained for less money
In the east than what Mr.. Kline
charges. On the contrary the figures
demonstrate that Mr.. Kline offers q
monument that would cost 5000 more
than the one that will be built at $40
above the price that will be paid.
The actual dimensions Of the vari-
GUS pieces composing the two monu-
ments are given below and fully es-
tablish the claim Mr.. Kline makes in
behalf of his, as the best and the
cheapest of the two.
