eesmeu's Union Notes.

The announcement that the yacht Hay
seed had left Stockton for this port en-
route to Cocos Island. in search Of buried
treasure, caused broad smile on the faces
OF the Stooktonian who do business on the
water front They explained that the Hay
seed is little lotion piunger. just about
the sort of craft to navigate one OF the
Stockton sloughs and able perhaps to drift
down the San Joaquin and make her way
across San Pablo Bay TO this city. But the
idea Of such tiny craft going outside the
heads and undertaking the long voyage of
nearly 5000 miles to COcos Island
struck them as something absurd and
Quixotic in the extreme. Cocos Island lies
we'll out in the North Pacific, about 400
miles west of Cape CorrlenteS. Its exact
position was first sscertained by Spanish
explorers in 1871. II was surveyed by Cap

1895. 1t is a lofty. solitary rock. AZ miles

The committee appointed to investigate
the manner in which street contracts were
being carried out reported progress and
asked for further time.
A complaint was made that the inspector
of street work now being done on Kentucky
street was both under age and incompetent
and the federation ordered the committee on
street work TO take the necessary steps to
secure his removal
The committee appointed to look Into the
law concerning the distribution of "dodg-
ers" and other advertising matter upon the
streets reported that under the present law
nothing toward preventing the scattering Of
handbills, ETC., could be done, as the law,
while prohibiting the scattering of "dodg-
ers' on the street, allowed the same to be
handed to pedestrians, and the latter could
not be prevented from scattering them.
The executive committee reported that
for want OF funds the demands Of the fede-
ration In regard TO additional light on the
streets, police and fire protection could not
be granted, and the federation upon motion
declared that it WAS the sense OF the fede-
ration that such steps should be taken by
