THE WAVES ROSE
And the New York Was
Not Pun ped Out.
CONDITION OF THE STEAMER
A Riddle Which Is Hard to Read and
Harder to Write About-StiIl
on the Rocks.

1t may seem little bit 'chestnutty." to
use slang expression, but the City of New
York is still on the rocks.
The Pacific Mail Steamship Company
cannot understand how it is that nature
cannot keep the Pacific Ocean quiet long
enough for the wreckers tn get ont longed-
for and much-anticipated boost at the
steamer with few pontoons, but nature
seems powerleSs in the matter. Not even
the awe-inspiring presence of a Pacific
Mail steamer in distress seems to have any
effect on the Point Bonita surf, and it has
a most disagreeable way Of rolling around
just when a few extra pumps have been
rigged up on board the New York.
1t was given out yesterday that it really
is fact that the steamer is in a pretty
fair condition TO be raised. 1t may be so.
1t may be that the vessel will be hoated
when people least expect it, but nobody
feels like making any rash guesses.
In telling story of the City of New
York one must judge for himself. A col
umn story might be written of patches,
pumps and plaster. but then IL would
hardly be compatible with the outw ard
visible signs of structural weakness of the
wrecked vessel which are becoming more
evident as each week rolls by.
The Southern Pacific has not finished
calking the pOntoons at West Oakland,
and the weather, as before mentioned,
was unfavorable for pumping Yesterday.
Thumping was in order instead. and the
New York ground more rocks and incl
denlally did a liItle more damage to her
keel.
1t is the opinion of experts that the YES
sci would be of very little value now. even
were she fioated. What with the cost of
pumping, pulling and pontooning. and this
possible expense for patching, and the
salaries of the officials who have been hired
to say nothing but saw wood. the money
expended upon the wreck would pay for a
new steamer.
At late hour yesterday afternoon the
New York was still on the rocks, and no
one, except those of the Pacific Mail Com
pany, knew when the attempt TO raise the
vessel would be made, and they refused to
tell

STREETCAR MEN PROTEST.
They Object to the Company's Rule
Requiring a Deposit.

Some of the employees of the Market
street Railway Company find fault with
the rule (Which has heretofore been applica-
BILE only TO conductors, but now applies
to all employe) requiring deposit
by each man of S25 with the company as
surety for any loss, etc, that may occur to
tho corporation through the action of the
employe for which he could reasonably be
held responsible. The method employed
by most corporations is to require each
employe to be secured by some one OF the
indemnity companies, and the Southern
Pacific has adopted the course pursued by
it because it is much cheaper than the
other method, in the first ms tance the cost
being only the interest 90 S25 while in tn g
latter case 1t would equal that sum per an
mum. Objection TO the plan Is confined TO
few men who claim it s imposing a hard
ship upon them by requiring the deposit.
The first shipment of horses over the
Sunset route was sent East on Monday.
The advantage over the Ogden line lies
simply in the mllder weather encountered.
Propositions are being made to ship
many carloads of turkeys into this city
from Nebraska. Kansas and Iowa for the
Thanksg and holiday season. Other
poultry will, of course, be included.

THE NATIVE SONS.
Arrangements for Benefit for
Their New Building.

Their New Building.
An enthusiastic meeting Of various COM
mittees of the Native Sons Of the Golden
West was held last evening at their head
quarters. The participants arranged for a
benefit to be given in order that the start
of their new building on Mason street,
near Post. might not be interfered with
through the exgencies OF the Mldwinter
Fair.
1t was decided to give the Country
Circus" from November u to Decem-
ber 81.
The benefit was determined upon be-
cause it had been found necessary for the
several parlors to increase their subscrlp-
tinns in order to keep pace with the lndl-
vidual subscriptions, it being law Of the
association that no more stock can be held
by individual members OF the order than
IS held by the parlors, lE order that con-
troll of the association may remain rested
in the order.
The following nights during the benefit
week were selected by the parlors as indi-
vidual nights:
Mond ay-Stanford Alcatraz. Oakland
and Golden State.
Tuesday-Mission, Hesperian, Precita.
South San Francisco, Las Lomas and
Minerva.
Wednesday - Golden Gate. Mantle.
Yerba Buena. San Francisco and Alta.
Thursday-El Dorado. Rlncon, Columbia
and Orlnda.
Friday-Pacifc. Bay City. Sequoia. AL
cade and Fremont.
California, Olympus. Buena
Vista and Orc FiBo.
Some S27,000 has already been paid on
the new lot, leaving a balance Of about
$4,000, which. it is expected, will be cleared

A HEAVY TRANSFER.
Real Estate on Market Street Sold
for a Good Price.

The remaining portion of the Hale estate
on Market street. opposite Mason, was
sold yesterday. A few days before lot
adjoining was transferred TO F. r. Gutz-
kow for S118.750, which was considered an
extensive transaction in real ettate. This
piece had frontage of forty-seven feet, so
in comparison with estimated values at
present and within the past year or two the
price was regarded as reasonable.
The safe yesterday was a lot with a 90
foot front on Market street, and a depth
of 165 feet through to Stevenson. Having
two fronts the value would be regarded as
greater than otherwise, and yet the price
was S225,000. The purchaser is c. C. Bemis.
who, it is understood, is acting as agent
for a capitalist in this transaction.
The property is still in the Probate
Court, and so lis sale is subject to confir-
nation. and must be cash transaction if
favorablv considered in court. On No
vember q both sales will be submitted to
the court for approval. As good prices
were obtained in the present market it is
believed that the last act of sale will be
then passed.

LARGE LAND DEAL.
1t Involves Over 10000
Acres in MerCed.
Crocker-Huffman Land end Water
Company Passes Entirely Under
Control of the Crocker Estate.

The Crocker-Huffman Land and Water
Company of Mereed County has passed
entirely into the hands of the Crocker
estate, or at least the transfer will be made
In a few days, the signing of the necessary
papers being the only thing now requisite
to complete the deal. BY the transfer of
the property c. 81. Huffman will retire
from its active management.
The transaction comprises the control of
10000 acres Of land in Merced County, the
Crocker- Huffman canal and the CONNER
cial and Savings Bank, besides 4500 acres
of land which Mr.. 81 uffman Individually
owned.
The price paid approxlmates S2,000,000,
and it is estimated that nearly S. 900, 900
has been expended upon the properly
during the last few years in the way of
improvements.
The policy pursued by Mr.. Huffman in
regard to disposing of water rights has
been subject TO much criticism. When the
canal, which is twenty-four miles in
length, was built enough water was di-
verted from the Merced River TO irrigate
400, 600 acres of land, and the bulk of this
water was held in an immense reservoir
called Yosemite Lake. from which large
number OF little feeders conveyed the
water over the contiguous territory.
The conditions imposed by Mr.. Huffman
required the landowners 70 sign a per-
petual contract to take the water at a
rental of 81 an acre per annum. No water
rights were sold outright, and as a c0nse-
quence the landowners rebelled and re-
fused to avail themselves Of the privileges
offered them by the canal.
After the completion of the canal G
widely advertised sale of the land pos
sessed by the company took place, and to
which many visitors from distant poin IS
were attracted, bur the sale proved 1ail-
ure owing to the conditions attached, and
the lands have remained without buyers
ever since.
c. F. Croeker said yesterday that tie
policy of the company In the future would
be to dispose of the lands at sucn prices
and Or such terms as would induce settlers
to take advantage of the offers made.
The land will be cut up in forty acre tracts.
with water rights attached, and will be
sold without any restrictions whatever.

GRANTED BY MISTAKE.
Miss Fortier Hld No Right to a
First -Graie Certificate.

Judge D. J. Murphy has denied the peti-
ton of Rose Forier for writ Of mandate
compelling the eBoard of Education to re-
store to her ) frst-elass schoolteacher's
certificate.
Miss Fortisr's complaint was that she
had teen a public school teacher since
1880, and Possessed secUnd-grade certif-
cate until 1889, when she applied TO the
Board OF f d ucation sfOr first-grade cer-
tficate. Upon her passing a certain eX-
animation she had been awarded the GER
ficate, but il was subsequently taken away
from her, according 10 her statement
without cause. She asked that it be re-
stored 10 her, and as the difference in sal
arr between teachers of the first and sec
Oud grades amounts to So month, Miss
Fortier brought suit 10 recover $3.50. which
she claimed 10 have lost by the arbitrary
conduct of the Board of Education.
The answer to this charge made by the
Board of Education was TO the effect that
the whole thing was a mistake. that Miss
Fortier had never passed the examination
required by the board of ali applicants for
first-grade certificates, and that such cer-
tificate had been awarded TO Miss tortler
by an error. Under the circumstances the
board had no alternative but TO Withdraw
Miss FOrtier's certificate as soon as the
error was discovered.
Judge Murphy took some time to con-
slider the case, but finally decided In favor
of the defendant board.
