THE TRIPLE FIGHT.
Democratic Troubles to
End Tonight.
That Is What Is EXpected-Comnlit-
teemen, Disguised With Dilatory
Tactics, Want a Head.

1t is certain beyond the possibility Of a
doubt that the long pending contest for
supremacy in the local Democratic organ
ization will terminate at this evenings
meeting
On every side expressions of disgust are
heard at the dilatOry tactics which have
been used. and the leaders of the different
factions feel that something must be done
The supporters of Pepper are sublimely
confident that their man will win, and dur
ing yesterday absolutely refused to listen
to any of the many offers of compromise
which were made. With the supporters
of Harvey and Treacy it is entirely differ
ent. They appear to realize that Pepper
has the upper hand and have made many
attempts TO tit upon some candidate who
could poll their united vote and win out.
An appeal was made TO John 81. Wise 10
step in and fill the breach. but Mr.. Wise
wculd hot listen to the proposition. lie
reminded Sullivan and Mcguire, who called
upon him, that once he desired TO lead the
local party and sought the nomination for
Mayor, but that they opposed him, and
then informed them that now when they
did want lin he was not to be had.
Then another attempt at compromise
was made and word was sent to Pepper
that he could 'bave the craftsmanship if
he would give Treacy the secretaryship.
but Max refused TO make any sort of a
dicker.
Next, an endeavor was made TO pull Sui
ivan's men behind Treacy, or vice versa,
but it was found imDracticable.
Armes, Dunn, McGreaVy and many others
assem- bled refused TO have ANYTHING to do
with the Nevada block statesman and an
equal number Of his followers threaten to
vote for Pepper rather than for Treacy.
Another serious danger confronted the
Mcguire and Sullivan faction during the
day. In the Twenty-eighth District three
Treacy men broke away and went over to
Pepper, and in several other districts it is
reported that the same thing happened.
while in the ThirIy-first District, that in
which Treacy lives. the members came to-
gether and expressed a determination TO
force things to au issue Tonight
They stated that they were tired of fill
clustering, aud if when the meeting was
called to order Treacy was afraid to push
the fight to a conclusion, they were going
to vote for some one else.
Senator Armes, who las been Treacy's
strong friend all the way through, ex-
pressed the same opinion.
1--WE must settle the business for once
aud all tonight" said Mr.. Armes. "Tne
people are disgusted and 80 am |. Before
the meeting adjourns ii must select chair
man. | believe Treacy will be the man,
but If Pepper or Haraey be chosen In his
place, all well and good. l will have no
conn plalnt to make, nor will / break away
from the party. We must select chair
man, however"

He has purchased residence in Cali

The house here has been building four
years, ana it is generally believed that his
daughter will make it her home. The con-
tempt proceedings against Huntington in
the Supreme Court for building a bay

Department of Buildings. Iujunctions
have been obtained against building over
property lines before, but they have
always been obeyed.

Huntington" said Superintendent Brady
to-day, "but we dou't propose that he
shall override this department. However,
the insult is not to us, but to the court. Do
you suppose that we would ask the Su-
preme Court of New York for an injunc-
tion TO prevent the building of this bay
window and then sit calmly by and see the
order dis0beyed?'
Somebody served some papers about
something or other on ME last evening""
said Huntington to-day. Il turned them
over to my LAWYER and hardly knew what
they were until L read the papers this
morning.
THE lawyer told me two years or so ago
that the thing was all straight and could
go ahead and build. That is all l know
about it. The matter will be adjusted to
the satisfaction of the Department of
Buildings. Bat do not see why the public
should be interested in it."

ONE WAS DROWNED.
The Cunarder Servia Crashed Into an
American Ship.

QUEENSTOWN, June 1.-THE Cunard
liner Seryia arrived here to-day and re-
ports that on June 7, during a fog she ran
down the American ship A. McCallum,
Captain O'Brisn, from London to New
York. The McCallum was so badly dam
aged that she filled and sank short time
after the accident.
Nearly all the passengers on the Servia
were in their berths at the time of the col
lision. The shock awakened many of
them. and they ran on deck to see what
had happened. There was some commo-
ton, but the assuranc ces of the officers that
there was not the slightest danger to the
steamer were readily accepted and the ex-
element soon subsidized.
The McCailum was vessel Of 1878 tons
burden. She was built at Thomaston, Me-,
ard was owned by E. O'Brien.
OF the McCallum's crew one man was
drowped-Henry Mills. sailor of London

PLANS FOR HIS BIG LIBRARY
The Interior Arrangement of the
Coming Building Has Been
Decided Upon at Last.

After a great deal of investigation
Adolph Sutro has decided on the interior
plan on which he will put up the building
which will house his great rubic refer

He is getting along slowly toward the
time when he will begin theSctual con-
struction of fine library building out by

his collection of rare literary stores to the
public. The building may not be actually
started for several months. and the ex-

of brick and stone, capable of housing
100000 volumes, and built to endure for
centuries.

BARRY'S BAND.
Delaney Says He Doesn't Want ar
Office.

Delaney Says He Doesn't Want an
Office.
The officers of the Third Regiment are
filed with grief.
The shock which followed the exposure
of their little family quarrel over Captain
Sullivan and his ambition to climb higher
up the ladder of military fame has proven
too much for them.
Adjutant and Captain P. M. Delaney is
particularly sad, for he maintains that he
has been drawn into the controversy with
out his consent, and that he never was a
candidate for the Office of junior major.
In this the adiutant errs, for while his
name may have been used without his con-
sent. yet he was, if he is not now, spoken
Of as an opponent of Captain Sullivan and
many of the officers of his regiment were
ready to vote ior him.
Delaney also takes up the battle on be-
half of Colonel Barry, and asserts that the
regiments commander never used the lam
guage attributed to him, or even insnuated
that there was anything the matter with
Sullivan's manners or social standing.
Adjutant and Captain Delaney may be-
lieve this as faithfully as he knows that he
was never candidate for promotion, but
| thero are officers in his mess who disagr ee
| with him.
Said one of them last evening while dis
| cussing the affair:
''Phe whole trouble is this: Barry
| doesn't want any one to cut prominent
| figure in his regiment unless he be busi-
ness man. Popularity counts for nothing
with him.
when it came to selecting the two
majors Cautain Smith was unanimously
chosen to fill the senior Office and Sullivan
| as nired to the other.
"Barry's choice was Tom brady, the
present Inspector of rifles, but brady ab-
solutey refused to oppose Sullivan and
then Delaney was centered upon.
That Barry did make some remarks
concerning Sullivan's social standing [
real reason for opposing the captain is be-
cause the latter holds clerical position,
and is not a man of business.
where he made his mistake however,
was in losing sight of the tact that there is
| not better soldier or more popular man
| in the entire brigade than Billy Sullivan.
! and that in fighting him he was virtually
| fighting a majority OF the rank and file of
| his regiment For my part, L am heart
| and soul in favor of Sullivan. He will
make mastery officer, and should be
! elected"
Adjutant and Captain Delaney and his
| friends, however, are not the only ones
who have suffered during the last few
days. Captain Sullivan. over whom all
the trouble arose. has also been worried.
He never sits down to meal but what he
is watched by "a gaping crowd. all anxious
to solve the question, Does he eat pie
with a knife?" The question is however
still shrOuded in as much doubt as it was
upon the day when the fatal remark was
let slip which has since brought so many
heart burns TO few Of our States de-
tenders.

"Some people suggest that this Is very faI
out, but the place chosen is very near the
geographical center nf the city of San
Francisco, and the city is pretty well bull,
up from the east. and before many years
buildings will stretch out westwardly

The proposed library will be situated at
an elevation of 100 feet OF more above the
park, with grand view of the ocean, the
Golden Gate, the Marin County hills, with
Mount Tamalpas in the background, the
upper bay of San Francisco and the Golden
Gate Park spreading out almost before
ones feet.
One thing that has caused an exhaordi.
nary delay in beginning the building OF
the library has been lawsuit in regard to
the title to portion of the tract, which
after number of years of litigation has

there has been long delay in getting the
