INTERIOR TRANSPORTATION.

1t is admitted thai at the present moment
San Francisco can obtain goods by sea
routes az rates which are satisfactory, but
the difficulty is to convey these goods, even
a short distance into the interior, at rates
which leave fair profit to the merchant.
The Southern Pacific puTsues the policy of
saddling the principal city of California
with the heaviest possible transportation
burdens in order that it may retain its long
transcontinental haul and keep the State in
its own hands The thing created has be-
come more powerful than the power that
created it. AS some measure Of relief has
come from giving encouragement to ocean
routes, and this is seen to be the true solu-
ton of the problem, the water routes of the
interior may be availed of in reaching the
valley cities OF California. To improve the
navigation of the san Joaquin and Saera-
meBto is the first step. This. in the main,
is work for the Federal Government, which
can with as much reason be asked to dredge
a clear channel as far as desirable in these
waterways. and to remove distractions or
incOnvenient loops, as 1t has been enlisted
TO improve the navigation Of the Ohio and
the Mississippi.
All such improvements tend to facilitate
the advancement of country's material
interests. and it is right that there should be
Federal authority over great waterways and
no private property i'll them. Were the rivers
legally a the mercy Of capitalists as private
property they would long ago have been
app opriated as some canals have been by
the railroad companies, and rendered as
useless as possible for commerce by high
tolls, if not by positive closing. A railroad
engineer would have very little trouble in
obstrueting the navigation Of any river
Not being able 10 appropriate the San
Joaquin or the Sacramento the Southern
Pacific has nevertheless endeavored TO
monopolze the trade by maintaining steam
ers for passengers and freight. Even the
bay Is laid under the hardest kind of tribute.
An opposition line of steamers now runs
to Stockton. One of the vessels of this line
recently got ashore a short distance below
Stockton and has only just been warped
off. The current was strong from freshets
at the time. but improvements by deepen.

CORONER HUGHES.
An Accusation Against Him and What
lie Saws About Ii.

Coroner Hughes was seen at his Office by
o CALL reporter and asked about certain
charges made against his official conduct by
A. w. Seley.
Mr.. Seley alleges that the Coroner acted
in behalf Of the Southern Pacific Company
during an inquest on the body of a man
named DOane, who was recently ran over
by an engine Of the company's. In answer
to the charge DIR. Hughes said:
This accusation grows out of a disagree
ment that took place between Seley and
myself at the inquest. The matter in ques-
ton was " neither the testimony Of the dead
mans wife should be accepted.
''Seley al FIRST requested me to have the
woman put in the witness chair. and then,
after her testimony had been taken, de-
manded that IL be stricken out of the
records. The testi mony was uHimportsnt

''As TO my having anything to 10 with the

JUDGE GRESHAM.

Tie reported selection Of Judge Gresham
70 be Secretary Of State under Cleveland is
q mastery stroke Of policy. II is above and
beyond anything Cleveland has yet done as
q party leader. 1t viii carry over TO the
Democratic party the bulk OF the vote
which lost several Western States 10 Harri-
son last November. THE CALL is at pres
ent inclined to doubt if the report is true,
for the reason that it implies a change in
Cleveand's public policy. Up to the pres
ent time Cleveland has held close relations
with the money power His veto Of the
seem fare bill while Governor of New York
was based upon the assumption that cor-
p0rati1n had right to draw interest on all
the water it had injected in to its stock. This
is rule which the Southern Pacific CON-
pauy would applaud. Gresham has become
noted for judicial decisions in which the de-
mands Of corporations have been resisted.
His construction of law has been invariably
in favor OF the people. These decisions
have made him the idol of the Populists.
] hey were wiling last summer TO make
almost any change in their platform that he
might demand If he would accept the nomi-
nation 10 The Presidency. But Gresham
seems to have been faT-seeing enough 10 tn
deTstand that it would be easier to bring
one Of the cid parties 10 his standard than
20 builG up a new aTty. His acceptance Of
the Office Of Secretary Of State viii not
imply a bargain between him and the
Presldent-elect but an understanding.
Gresham is too big a man to be
aDybody's clerk. He will not accept
position in any administration without a
voice in shaping its policy. He has a large
ard distinct following, and to become lay
figure in a party would be betrayal of his
followers. His position among public men
is unique. He is the embodiment Of princi-
pies which have found no other so able an
exponent Nothing is known Of Judge
GTesham's party relations that warrants an
impression that he has changed his opin-
ions. BE has always been regarded as
l0w-tarf man. He was one of the few Re-
publicans who did not follow a majority OF
the party when CleVeland's message made
the tariff direct issue. There were several
Republican journals which occupied the
same posI n. The Chicago Tribune aud
the Springfield Republican are notable ex-
amples. They acted with the party some
what as Samuel Randall acted with the
Democratic party while still advocating
protection Judge Gresbam's views on
public questions are known mainly through
bis judicial decisions. and as he has had no
recent occasion TO decide Oh tariff points
there is some doubt as 20 his exact standing
in this respect The belief in the last cam
paign was that be was inclined rather to the
Democratic platform than to the Repub-

OUR FISH INDUSTRIES.

On the face OF it salmon and codfsheries
IN the waters Of Alaska ought to have
proved very profitable. The fish are abund-
ant and their quality is fne. Goldfish from
the Boring and Okhotsk seas compete to
advantage with the product Of the banks Of
Newfoundland, and the salmon Of Alaska
Is standard article Of food all over the
world. Yet little money has been made by
those who have invested capital in either
business. 1t is not easy to explain why.
The secret Is probably that the,fsh Industry,
like tie fruit industry, has never been sys-
tematlzed, and that little care has been be-
slowed on establishing reputation for the
fish Of this coast. The Goldfish industry Of
The banks of Newfoundland antedates the

did land ia Newfoundland they sailed

fog never lifts and the supply of fish never
undergoes any sensible diminution. When
our fishing grounds are as old they, too,
viii have been the source of fortunes.
Speaking OF the future of the salmon in
duslry one Of the members Of the new COM
bne, which has a feasible look about it
now, said that salmon is too plentiful in
Alaska to become luxury. This is fortu-
nate, Tor The Territory is likely to become
the sole breediDg-ground for the noble fish,
There are just enough fish In the salmon
rivers Of the East to afford sport to fishers
with fly and reel, and on this coast the
salmon Of the Sacramento is rapidly disap-
pearing, and ID the Columbia the fish will
soon be a thing Of the past AS an article
Of commerce the salmon of Norway cuts
very little figure. Hereafter the salmon
markets will have to rely for their supply
upon the Mas and the Yukon and the
other rivers Of Alaska, and wien these are
exhausted eanneries will have TO be estab-
Jished on the Mackenzie. 1t is agreeable to
hear that the supply from these sources is
likely 10 prove practically inexhaustible.
so that prices need not advance. At
present figures salmon is about as cheap an
element of nutrition as can be found
Whether the supply Of Goldfish on the
banks of Boring Sea is really as large as
Lieutenant Schwaika stated or not there is no
doubt that it is large, and that the industry
may be prosecuted without the risks which
the Newfoundland fishery involves. Its
value may be inferred from the fact that for
a thousand years large proportion OF the
people Of Western Europe have lived on
dried Goldfish from the banks. 1t is quite
possible that FISH enough could be taken OH
the shores Of Alaska to prevent iamloe

THE GOLDEN JUBILEE.
Instructions of the Archbishop to the
Priests of His Diocese.

Priests of His Diocese.
Archbishop Rordan yesterday sent let
ters to the various churches in his diocese
on the subject of the Pope's Golden Jubilee,
requesting that the re Deum be sung in
all the churches. either at high mass on
Sunday, February 10, or at vespers on the
same day, and also that appropriate ser
mons be delivered on the occasion of the
celebration.
The grand celebration at st. Peters In
Rome. at which Pope Leo himself will say
mass, will be one of the most memorable
religious celebrations in modern times.
People from all over the world have made
the trip especially 10 witness the ecclesiastic
grandeur and pomp. 1t is thought that pill
grims To Rome will gain certain religious in
dulgences.
Rome will be the acme of golden munif-
cence, as Tar as the celebration Is concerned.
but the jubilee VIII be observed by special
servi es wherever a priest has congrega-
ton. On the day of the jubilee the sun in
his course will shine on one continuous fes-
tlval OF JOY in almost every hamlet on the
globe.
Rev. George Montgomery, chancellor of
the archdiocese OF San Francisco, speaking
yesterday of the Pope's Golden Jubilee,
said:
The Archbishop has determed that there
shall be no concerted or general celebra-
ton, for the reason that there are thousands
and thousands of Catholics in the city and
suburbs who desire TO participate in the
joyous occasion and witness the ceremonies
that may be arranged. Now if the celebra-
ton is held in one place, say, for instance,
the largest church IN the city, what accom-
modation5 would there be for the great mass
or Catholics who would desire 10 witness
the services on the occasion and participate
in It's religious benefits?
$50 it has been concluded to allow each
church to celebrate the golden jubilee.
&C cording as the spiritual directors and the
congregation may arrange The Archbishop
has only directed that the jubilee shall
be celebrated by a "Te Deum" and the
delivery OF appropriate sermons.
II know that at many of the churches
there will be special services of a very inter
esting nature, going far beyond the Arch
bishops instructions. At some of the
churches the celebration Of high mass viii
be conducted with more than usual pomp
and ceremony on account Of the great dig
nifty of the occasion A others the jnbil ee
of the venerable Pontiff will be celebrated
with special musical selections. the chorus
of some being already in training for the
event.
AT the cathedral the Archbishop Will
conduct the services, and they Will be Of
especial interest, although all the details
have not as vet heen arranged -

NEW BULLSEYE SCORERS.
The Krieger Verein Organizes a Shoot
ing Section.

The San Francisco Krieger Verein,
branch of a national society Of German war
veterans, has organized a sharpshooting
branch.
For some years the yerein had shooting
section, which did duty at funerals only,
and whose duties were confined to firing
volley over dead comrades grave
From this section the new sharpshooters
sprang into existence, and from now on the
old German soldiers will compete with the
numerous target clubs already organized.
They have some good marksmen in their
ranks, and they hope confidently TO be able
to score as many bullseyes as any other
club. The uniform of this new branch of
the Krieger Verein will be of dark green
material, with fringe of a lighter shade,
and they viii wear jaunty cooked hats with
long plumes. Thirty-twO members signed
the roll last night. and The following were
elected officers: G. Schwaner, captain :;
Adolph Becker, first lieutenant; A.
FTauche, second lieutenant and treasurer;
j. English, first sergeant and financial sec
rotary; NJ. Lengefeld, first duty sergeant;
g. Hetzel, armorer; L. Nagel, shooting cor
poral; trustees-C. Maritzen, +. Karen
and y. Biegel.
The California Schuetzen Park near San
Rafael will be used as a range. and only
members Of the yerein can join the shoot
ing section.

sarily unified for heavy cargo. Similarly
the navigation of the Sacramento could be
much improved at points where shoaling is
in progress. The danger to that river is
from the debris of mines, and 1t is one
which must be overcome. Were these
waterways in good condition far to the
south and northward beyond Sacramento
it should not involve heavy outlay to con-
meet the landings with a system of light
electric railroads. method of traction now
entirely feasible. The water-power in the
Sierra properly utilized would furnish by
transmission all the power needed for trans
portaton in our great valleys. Progress in
electrical science is rapid. and day must
come when this power will be turned to
