A special meeting of the board Of control
of the California League of Progress was
held at the headquarters Of the league, 1872
Market street, last evening.
The committee appointed 10 ascertain
what revenue Is derived IN the way of rents
from the Southern Pacific Company for the
use OF the ferry buildings at the foot of
Market street reported as follows:
The Southern Pacific Company is tenant
from month to month of the State Board of
Harbor Commissioners.
1t owns none of the superstructure at the
ferry landing, and it has no sub-tenauts.
The peanut-stands, the advertising men,
and all other persons or firms in tenaDtcy

State Board of HarboT COmmiss toner's.
The Southern Pacific Company has only
the privilege OF landing steamers at the
loot OF Market street, and hold that priv
llege subject TO the pleasure of the State
Board of HaTbor Commissioners.
The Southern Pacific Company pays the
State Board Of Harb0r Commissioners $500
per month for the use of the brOad-gauge
depot and 500 per month for the use OF the
narrow-gauge depot.
This use OF these depots is restricted by
the terms of its lease to the mere privilege
OF landing passengers and such small
frelghtS as passengers ordinarily carry with
them.
The Southern Pacific Company pays the
State Board Of Harbor Commissioners $1,000
per month for the freight depot facilities at

for the Lombard street depot facilities.
Another company makes use Of the LOm-
bard-street depot facilities, and il also pays
the State Board OF Harbor Commissioners

knockout blow, delivered during a boxing
bout at the rooms Of the Memphis Athletic
Club, at Memphis. Tenn, was on October
II bound over for trial in the Criminal
Court IN the sum of $1,000 which he was un-
able to furnish, and was therefore locked
up. Mike COnley, the Ithaca Giant, and
half dozen others were also held for trial
in the same amount. 1t was expected that
the menbersof the club who subscribed to
the purse fought for would also be Indicted.
This is what tho New York Clipper says
concerning jim Corbetts championship
title: "The refusal Of Jim Corbett to ac-
cept the fair and regular cha lleDge issued by
Joe Goddard, which was altogether reason
able in the matter OF terms, and was besides
properly supported by money deposit. as
required by the rules governing such mat
ters has resulted In the forfeiture of the
title of champion by the Californian"
The latter has thereby been taught
something that a man Of his intelligence
should have known long ag0-that cham
pion must of necessity accept any proper
challenge within reasonable period after
its being issued. and be prepared to defend
the championship within the time nre-
scribed by the rules, both written and un-
written. He doubtless did know It we'll
enough. but it did not suit his purpose 10
comply with the regulations governing the
holding of the championship. The idea of
a champion claiming that he had the right
TO not only arrange the date of fight to suit
himself, in utter violation of the rules. but
also select the party who should have The
honor OF contending with him for the title.
Ignoring previous cha llengers. Is simply
ridiculous. COrbett had a right to cover
G0ddard's forfeit and arrange a match. and
in failing to do so lie could not escape for
feiture of the champion ship, which falls by
right to Goddard. The latter NAV not he
pugiIisticaliy so able TO maintain his claim
to the position as was the last incumbent
thereof, but he is at least willing to defend
the title in accordance with the rules made
and provided"

Was IT SELF-INFLICRED?
Death of Mrs. Louisa John
ston From an Operation.
Before Dying, She Said That There Had
Been Criminal Malpractice, but Refused
to Tell Who Was Responsible.

1t is quite probable that Mrs. Louisa
John ston performed the criminal operation
herself that caused her death in room 20
in the clearinghouse at 300 Fifth street
about noon yesterday.
Mrs Johnston was aged SO years and a
native of Detroit Mich, whence she came
with her husband four months ago. Her
husband is Walter S. Johnston, foreman OF
the Wooster Paper-box Company's factory
at Davi, and Sacramento streets. For a
time Mrs Johnston worked in the same
place In order to assist her husband. She
was pale-faced. slim little woman, but of
brave and determined nature.
Last Friday she quit work in the factory
and after that devoted her time to caring
for their abode at 800 Filth street. On
Monday before Johnston went TO work his
wife informed him OF her condition. She
also expressed a determination to have a
criminal operation performed.
Johnston protested ana concluded an
argument by positively fOrbidding her to
carry out her intention. Nothing more was
said about the matter until Johnston re-
turned from work Tuesday night. He then
found his wife sick in bed. When he asked
her what was the matter SHE said she was
suffering from the ELECTS of an operation.
More than this. she said she had had an
operation performed, but refused to state
who had done il.

As this was the first meeting of the club
held in these rooms. and as the secretary's

quarters through some mistake, very little
business could be transacted.

that the meeting to be held on next Wednes-
