pany and Fears Trouble.
Hne. Terrier VIII No Longer Teach French
in the High school-Republican Clubs
Organizing for the Campaign.

The police officers were again on duty last
night about the water front. Dayje was
still fearful Of trouble. and appealed to the
police early in the evening. He had guns
ready foy use and the men on hand to use
them.
Yesterday Davie received a telegram from
the Southern Pacific stating that there was
no Intention to violate the agreement Of the
day before Any action taken by WColsey's
men would be only TO change Che barge, az
per agreement The telegram aroused
Davies suspicious rather than otherwise.
They were increased when he discovered
one Ct the several chains made fast to a
pile, as 4 an attempt were to be made to
hook 10 the barge and haul it in. During
the day Woolsey asked Davies permission
to take a number of carpenters on board
the barge. but Davie strongly objected, and
they were not taken. DaYie himself had
the barge SD ilted. and last night be drove
piles outside the line which it occupies.
DAVE OBJECTS.
a little sensation was created in the after
noon when two wagons, loaded with lum-
Der. drove to the wharf. DaVie surmised
that Woolsey wanted to build gangway to
the barge and he at once interfeTed. Wool
sey ordered the lumber away.
A bigger sensation, however, occurred
when q l0ngshOTeman named Robert Craig
showed DaVie FIVE $50 gold pieces and said
that II had been paid TO him as an induce
meuL 20 20 to Fourth and Townsend streets
to have a little chat with the high digDitaries
on duty. Craig said that he had been prof
fered the money by man whose name lie
did lot know, and Of course he took 1t be-
cause it was railroad money. lie did not
intend TO 90 TO Fourth and TOWNSEND, how
ever. Craig is believed 10 be the man who
lad the nerve to cut the barge chains and
the company doubtless thought that little
conversation would give them much that
they want to learn.
Dayie declared last night that two other
men had been given money, and that they
had gone over to the railroad side.
The strongest ground upon which Davie
bases his fears OF trick on the part Of the
company is the TACT. as stated by him, that
the company has not Included the proposed
ferry slip in its description in the suit to
quiet tile The land described is portion
10 the east Of the property concerned.
The recent threatened riots have inspired
the Chief Of Police 20 apply to the Board Of
Commissioners for . rifles and 1000 rounds
Of ammunition to be ready 10 case similar
trouble ever arises.

There is now a dispute among the city
and county officials as 10 whose duty it was
10 take care of Mrs. Frates, the runaway
ieper. Health Officer Dunn says that the
Board of Supervisors ought to have done il,
and the latter has appealed TO the District
Attorney, who yesterday advised the board
TO take no further steps in the matter. as it
is the duty OF the city authorities to pro-
vide for such cases. An unsuccessful
