The CitvlAttorney did mot talk much on

Superint endent of Streets Harrison was

the fence that had been erected.
At a late hour everything is quiet on the

A week ago, however, why, it is not
known. unless it was TO save expense, the
railroad company abandoned the barge.
The men picked up bag, baggage and
blankets one pleasant afternoon and van

water front. They left no remnant Of

A final decree was made by Judge Nc
Kenna of the Unued States Circuit Court
yesterday in favor of the DR.. Jaeger SAM

York and against Scnoenhoz Bros. & Co.
Of this city. The company first named

"When the Council takes down that

These events on the water front drew e
crowd to the scene of action, and by noon
the Davie wharf was covered with eoDle.
And Davie and his friends had not been
idle. Early in the day they began prep
aratons for warping the steamer Alvira
around in the long-disputed slip. Davie
was getting his own, and there was a
cheerful "Yo-heaye-oh" on the ropes as
the crowd willingly laid hold in help.
Meantime the snag-puler was AT work
pulling out piles which had been driven
here and there as BARRIERS and by the
time the Alvira was snug in her new

Seized Opium Doomed to
Destruction.
At the Last Auction Sale 1t Would
Not Bring the Amount Due for
Revenue Taxes.

Rather a new departure for the heads of
the customs and internal revenue depart
ments will it be when the furnace III the
basement of the Appraisers building is
made to perform the office OF burning 19l
iye-tael tins Of opium.
The stuff is doomed 10 that method OF
destruction by letter from Commissioner
of Internal Revenue Joseph ). Miller. and
the fire will probably be started very soon.
The nostrils in that neighborhood may OF
be- as partial to opium fumes as those OF
the average Monaghan, and 1t Is for that
reason that either Sunday or some night
may be selected.
This amount Of opium was left over at
Spears auction sale about the end of June,
because 1t would not bring the So per can
which the tax amounted to. The tax
upon opium is SO per pound, and i've
tael tin holds about half-pound.
The internal revenue laws require that
when articles Of this kind are seized they
must be sold at public auction alter ten
days advertising in the press. but it they
do not bring sum equal to the Internal
revenue tax they are to be destroyed
Heretofore. however. such articles were
sold as unfinished material" but after a
report was sent on to Washin gton the In
ternal Revenue Department found that the
opium was the finished product and that it
would have to be burned if the sum of So
per tin was not realized.
The tobacco act Of March 1. 1879. is made
applicable to opium under the Mckinley
law. Section $500 of the Revised Sta tutes
refers TO the sale, and secton 1869 to the
destruction Of seized goods
AT The sale referred to only a small por-
ton of the opium offered brought as much as
So per tin. For the grea: bulk of it only
81 and even as low as SIS was bid. This
fact was reported to the department. and
Commissioner Miller directed the unsold
opium to be borned. When the drug is
thus destroyed Internal Revenue Collector
Quinn. Collector of Customs Wise and In
ternal Revenue Agent McGlachlin must be
present either in person or by deputy.
The opium has accumulated from various
seizures for nOn-payment of the revenue
taxes. Sixty cans were taken from tne
steamer Australian about three months
ago. 1t is all the domestic article-that IL,
it is supposed to be-and the taxes alone
on it would amount to about 500
The 500 tins Of opium seized by In
spector Noyes at TOO Sacramento street on

named Jew GeoDg ChuD. His attorney,
Henry c. Dibble, flied papers to that effect
in the United States District Court yester-
day. Jew Geong Chun represents that the
opium was of domestic manufacture, and
therefore not subject 10 customs duties,
and he denies that it was concealed" at

MORE STEAMERS.
Two Passenger-Boats for
the North American.
Captain jenkins En- Route to the At
Iantic Coast to Effect Charter.
Increasing Business.

Upon the arrival in Panama Of the
steamship Keweenaw, which sailed on
Thursday, Captain w. II. Jenkins, her
commander, will proceed at once to New
York commissioned to charter two passen-
ger steamships to ply between San Fran
cisco, Panama ana way ports in Central
America. His mission has been kept
secret by the officers of the company. who
have found it profitable to conceal their
plans until they have matured, but the in
formation comes to THE CALL from per-
fectly authoritative source. At this time
there is great deal of idle shipping on the
Atlantic Coast and it is thought Captain
Jenkins will be able to accomplish his
mission with small delay. His instruc-
tions are to take none but first.class steam
ships and each must lave carrying
capacity of 5000 TONS One Of the steamers
will probably be brought to San Francisco
under command of Captain jenkins.
None of the fleet of the North American
Navigation Company are adapted to pas
senger traffic. and the present purpose is to
secure steamers adapted equally to nassen-
ger and freight service. If the kewee-
nav, for instance, were fitted up for human
freight she would add at least $4,000 to her
income every trip. Having secured the
cream OF the freight business between the
Atlantic Coast and San Francisco, and
feeling confident that the traffic will be
permanent. the company now enters the
field for passengers. The same intense
feeling against injustice done and of de-
sire for freedom from eXtortiOn which
created the North American Company and
established 1t as a great factor In the
transportation problem of California will
support it in all its undertakings. and
there is not doubt in the minds OF the
management that the passenger business
will be n success from the start.
This is a dull season, yet the Keweenaw
brought up on her last trip over 1000 tons
of freight, and still had to leave at Pan
anna full load for the st. Paul. which in
turn had to leave several hundred tons.
1t is understood that the ST. Paul, whose
capacity for freight is too small for the
Panama trade. will be laid off on the ar
rival of the Ell Progreso, which put into
Rio de Janeiro August 8 for repairs to her
boilers.
The North American Company is now
carrying the larger share OF heavy freights
between the Atlantic Coast and Puget
Sound. II is taken from here north in the
golfers, which accept low rate rather
tran 90 in ballast. The tariff from New
York to Seattle via the isthmus and San
Francisco is reduction of 40 to 60 per cent
on the rail rate, aud neither the Northern
Pacific nor the Great Northern will be able
To meet the water route without demoralZ-
ing their entire coast business. 1t is raa-
senahly sure that the North American will
continue to hold its Puget Sound business.
