The City Trustee MuddIe-Round-
Trip Ticket Rules.


THAT UNCONSTITUTIONAL is claimed
By some that the Board Of Trustees had no
right to reconsider tue action by which
Stanley Stephenson was elected, and after
letting him out elect q. +. Fo1derer chair
man in his stead. A little emphasis was
given to this claim by the refusal of Deputy
Treasurer E. Minor Smith and the Bank of
Alameda 10 cash the warrants against the
city. signed by Mr.. Forderer as chairman
City Treasurer Barber Is absent from the
city. Mr.. Stephenson states, however, that
rather than have any litigation over the
Craftsmanship he VIII resign.
ROUND TRIP TICKETs.-The railroad
company has put in force new rule rela-
tive 10 the use OF rouud-trip tickets between
Alameda and San francisco. Heretofore, a
person could buy ticket to San Francisco
on the broad-gauge road.and ride to Oakland
on it, He then could return to Alameda on
the narro w-gauge road without paying fare,
and on the same ticket 90 to San Francisco
on the narrnw-gauge road. a few days ago
the collectors az the narrow-gauge pier re-
ceived orders not 10 honor any ticket that
had once been used on the broad gauge
road.
To MONTEREY.-Residents OF Alameda
are now enabled TO 60 to Monterey and way
points without being required to 90 to Oak
land or San Francisco to take the broad
gauge system in those cities. They can take
the narrow-gauge train at Park street, ard
Tide to College Park station, near Santa
Clara. where transfers are Issued to the
broad-gaUge train. This shOrtens the trip
between Alameda and Monterey by nearly
two hours.
ANNUAL BANQUET.-The annual banquet

TELLER IN TOWN.
The United States Senator
for Colorado.
His First Visit to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
on Some Questions of the
Day.

United States Senator H. NJ. Teller of
Colorado arrived in San Francisco yesteI-
day.
Mr.. Teller was Secretary of the Interior
under President Arthur and entered upon
his office in 1881. He was lately elected
United States Senator for Colorado.
He is accom- panied by Hal Sayer, lead
ing mining expert of Aspen, Colo, and the
mining engineer in charge of the Durant
mine al Aspen, the largest in the world.
Senator Teller has been making tour in
the southern part Of The State, principally
for the benefit of his health.
When seen last night at the Occidental
Hotel Mr.. Teller said; ~ have been suffer
ing much from an affection of the throat,
which was much increased by the bitter
Innate OF the Eastern winter, and imme-
dlately upon my return from Washington
last month | left Denver for warmer eli
mate and one more suited to the conditions
OF my health. | tried several places in the
Southwest and found the spring climate of
Yuma, AriZ., best suited 10 me. AS it got
warmer 1 crossed the desert and tried
Southern California with satisfaction. The
m0ister atmosphere of San Diego and San
Francisco have not been beneficial TO me-
though"
Speaking briefly upon political matters,
Senator Teller said:
Il do not fancy that the new administra-
ton will go in for any very sudden and
startling changes in the tariff. No doubt
the Mckinley tariff will be very much modi-
fed, especially as regards the more neces-
saTy articles of import. Still do not think
that those sweeping reductions in rates
expected by some, or the total abolition of
duties on some goods anticipated by others,
will be made. Whatever is done will be
done wisely, l am sure, and no steps will be
taken except as the result of careful de-
liberation.
Il am decidedly in favor OF the free
coinage of silver, and earnestly hope TO see
an early re-estabishmeut of the standard
on basis of gold. The value of silver
money ought never 10 be allowed to fluctu-
ate and silver dollar should be worth a
dollar under any circumstances. l intend
to devote myself in great measure 20 the
solution Of this yexed question, as far as it
lies In my power"

NO PLACE LIKE YOUR OWN HOME.
A Small Cash Payment Required on
Mission Property.


Mission Property.
The credit auction sale of eighty-seven
Mission home sites at Metropolitan Temple
by i. CROMWELL Co. next Saturday night
offers rare opportunity to home seekers.
1t Will be possible for those of limited
means TO realize the wish of most men TO
become the owner of a homestead. Never
before In the history of San Francisco has
labor and material been cheaper. lot can
be bought at this sale for less than the
actual cost of renting house. Slxty-six of
these lots front on San Jose, Mount Yer
non, Unadelia, Henrietta and Delaware
avenues and twenty-one front on Day,
Hoffman and Douglass streets.
This is an unusually good opportunity for
people desiring to obtain comfortable
homes The terms are exceptionally rea-
sonabe, only $50 cash being required on
purchase. The owner pays the taxes for
1885, 1894 and 1895. and the low rate of per
cent is charged on the deferred payment
The lots may be reached by taking the
Valencia, Mission, Suffer or Folsom street
cars and transferring 10 the electric cars,
direct to the property. One thousand men
are now working on the new Mission car
line, which viii be completed by the end of
July. The lots offered are only three blocks
from Mission street, and are directly on the
electric line, which passes in front of them
The San Francisco and West Shore Rail
road is about to build the finest electric road
in the city, and will lay its tracks in front
of this property on Delaware street. 1t has
received the necessary franchise and has its
stakes planted along the route. When The
Mission-street car line is completed the
baseball grounds will be removed to the
Mission. and it is probable that the race
track will also be located there, as the pres
ent Bay District Track will soon be thing
of the past, as the streets ii now blocks will
be opened through it.
