The contract for the building of the new

tn Matthew Turner. the shipbuilder.

The story of the GrydOck was told ex-

what the capacity of the dock would be.

Of the lecturng board which had been so
fully discussed on Tuesday and referred
to a committee.
.: With regard to the election of delegates
to the Supreme Council the committee re-
ported the following amendment to the
constitution:
There shall be elected al each annual session
Of a grand council one delegate at large and
one additional delegate for each 1000 men,
bers and fraction of 1000 members under the
jurisdiction OF grand council as delegates 10

leave the matter open to change by the
Supreme Council"
Ex-Grand President }. F. Smith moved
that the following words be added: "Or
such representation as shall be hereafter
determined by the Supreme Council"
These suggestions were accepted by Mr..
Mahoney and the provision as amended
was carried and made to 90 into effect at
once.
The matter of the lecturing board called
out long discussion. The commit ee re-
ported an amendment providing for the
establishment OF regular board of three
or four lecturers. President Murasky op-
posed this and in its stead favored dis
tricting the jurisdictions and that the
grand officers of each district be delegated
as lecturers, and this plan was finally
adopted.

Denies the RumOr.

Under the Same Management
at 205 Sansome.

W. J. LaDders, the general agent of the
Guardian and Sun Fire, as well as of the
Imperial and Lion, stated yes ,erday that
there was absolutely no truth in the rumor
that the company was going out OF
business.
He is in the closest communication with
the London Office, and could not fail 10 be
acquainted with the facts.
William j. Landers has been for eighteen
years Pacific Coast manager of the Guar
dian Fire and Life Assurance Company
(Lm ited) of London, and also for four
years past the manager of the Sun insur-
ance office OF London. Prior TO the eighteen
years referred to he was for six years in
the service of the Im perial.

Gently announced withdrawal of the Guar

OF the Guardian was then explained in "a

ing Evidence.
Proof That the Pathfinder Had No
Legal Title to What Is Now the
Site of Fort Mason.

j. E. Dodge, Assistant United States At
torney-G General, arrived in this city yes
terday from Washington, commissioned
by his chief to obtain evidence to be used
by the Government in the trial of the suit
brought by the widow of General Fremont
against the United States in the Court of
Claims.
The Pathfinder claimed the land, three
or four blocks in extent, which is now the
Government reservation on which Fort
Mason stands. After his death the widow
brought suit for the value of the property,
which is estimated at 100000
Attorney Dodge is confident that Mrs.
Fremont's claim will not be allowed, and
she will be obliged 10 appeal to Congress
if she hopes to obtain anything for the
land, which was once the generals home.
I'VE are willing TO admit that Fremont
had some claim to the land" said the Gov
ernmenrs attorney yesterday. "but it was
not a lawful claim. Fremont bought the
land from SOU alters in 1859, and improved
ii; but he had no right to buy and they
had no right TO sell what was stolen from
the Government The general made the
land his residence until the war broke out,
when he was compelled to go to the East
and take a hand in the conflict
In 1868 the Government reasserted Its
claim 10 the property, and began TO erect
the Notifications that are now upon it.
THE Government never abandoned the
point. 1t was set apart a a military res
ervation by the President of the United
States in 1851, but was not actively occu-
pied until he Fort was built. SQuatters
settled on the point soon after it was re-
served, and made a deed which they gave
to Fremont when he entered into pos
session. AS they had no right TO the land
the deed was worthless"
Attorneys StetsOn and Thurber of New
York City, who represent Mrs. Fremont
ia the Court of Claims, came with the As.
sistaut AItorney-General, and will procure
all available evidence in support of theiI
clients claims.
