ALL AGENTS IN LINE.
The Railway Passenger Ticket Men
Perfect Their Organization to Main
tain Fares


The railway ticket agents met yesterday
in the Palace Hotel and succeeded in per-
fecting their organization, which has for
its object the maintenance of passengers
fares at whatever price may be set.
D. w. Hitchcock of the Union Pacific,
the only ticket agent here who refused to
join the association, was present at yester-
days meeting. He made an offer to sign
the agreement under certain conditions,
and the agents took his proposition under
consideration.
After some discussion they made an
amendment in the agreement, changing
the fine from $25 to SIS for violation of the
compact in selling tickets at reduced rates.
The question of extending territory over
which the association shall have control
was considered and the association decided
not to extend it beyond Oakland and San
francisco. There still remains an open
question as TO the right of an agent in
either place to sell transcontinental ticket
at reduced rates in neighboring towns
without violating the agreement.
Mr.. Hitchcock joined the association as
soon as the agreement was amended to
suit him.

The complaining witness stated that
Ruth was employed by the firm as trav-

was furnished with sample-case contain

pawned for 81. During the two weeks he
also sent IN bogus orders for goods to the
value OF $3.50. He got the goods and sold

GENERAL WEDENBURG.

An Ex-Hawaiian OfficiaI Who Will Re-
turn to the Islands.
Frederick Wedenburg, formerly Post
master-General of Hawaii, who some
months ago left Honolulu on account
OF friction with the new republic,
has been invited to return to his home in
the Sandwich Islands and expects to do SO.
During his residence in San Francisco Mr..
Wedenburg has not taken part in any plot
tlngs against the Hawaiian Government.
An intimation to that effect was unfortu-
nately published in recent issue of the

Mr. Wedenburg. For the purpose of set
ting him right In this community and

that the Rather test any other test of rock in
preliminary stages, is aot a fair and just test,
and that the only fair test is one which will
try and measure the tensile strength of the
concrete in its completed form, after lapse of
sufficient time for hardening.
Thirdly-We assert that the rock commonly
use in street and foundation work with that of
blue or gray rock, and in many respects the
qualities of the first named are superior to
those of the last named. While by the tests
heretofore referred to the loss of rock from the
quarrles OF Diggins Brothers and the under
signed Fed rock) was greater than that of gray
rock, even assuming that the test was fairly
applied, it is undeniable that the rock from the
quarries of Diggins Brothers, Champion e.
Croker and other red-rock quarries has been
in use for years, and is now being used in street
and engineers in work of the most extensive
and important character and with most salts
factory results. We cite as instances founda-
ton OF Mills building, Croker building, Par
rott building, on corner Of Powell and Post
streets, the new million-dollar PARROT build
ing on Market street, the Olympic Club build
Golden West, the Spreckels' Sugar Refinery,
the ten-story apartment building corner of Cali
fornia and Jones streets, now in course of con-
struction, the foundation for the new barracks
at the Presidio, foundations for dynamite guns

cable-roads in this City are made Of red-rock
concrete. The Market-street Railway Company

We are prepared to show large number of
blocks paved with bitumen on red-rock con-
crete during the past five years, which prove
to be far more superior in all respects to many
blocks where the concrete is made of blue or
gray rock. We also beg leave to refer to letters
and certificates from leading and distinguished
architects and engineers. especially to the
analysis by Professor Price, which were fled in

A Climax In Misunderstanding.

Miller x Rhoads. those prominent and
popular retail dry goods merchants, can
easily boast of having the most artist
cally dressed window on Broad street.
The scene represented Is conceived from
the opera "Lohongrin." and represents a
boat drawn 10y two large swans. fester-
day large crowds paused and stopped 10
admire the window, and nothing but eN-
carnations of pleasure Were 20 be heard
on all sides.
The scene represents a large swan-boat
flied with beautiful dolls, one Of which
holds a pair Of blue silken reins and
acts as the driver of the two graceful
swans that are pulling the boat Every
thing connected with this scene Is made
from white handkerchief, and upwards
of two thousand are used in its construc-
ton. The boat Is represented 10 be about
to pass under a bridge, upon the top or
which a number OF dolls are looking down
upon the gay boating party. Under the
arch OF the bridge and just back or the
boat are immense mirrors, which nave
the effect OF making il appear as II there
were one continuous line or Doats ana
swans.
This beautiful window is the work OF
Mr. @. sydney Ieager, formerly or the

The tides Of the North and East rivers
produce power enough TO generate all the
electricity 10 light New York and Brook
Ign, to do all the mechanical work in the
factories and machine shops, and to run
run all the railroad lines ga the city
and suburbs. This power is vast
ed. as formerly all of the power
of Niagara was allowed toe eX-
pend itself in a prohtless way All that
is required Is to store this immense power
and turn il into profitable use. The pro-
blem presented differs somewhat from
that Of Niagara. The tides are periodic,
and not constant, and the power would
have TO be collected al the times Of its
greatest exertion and stored for later use.
The Niagara people have already pro-
posed 20 run a line 10 New York 10 do
what the tides Of the Hudso- and East
rivers would accomplish right at home.
Either undertaking is a large one, re-
Guiring the expenditure OF millions OF
dollars: but the results would more than
justify the outlay An inexhaustable sup
ply of power from outside would prove a
blessing that could hardly be appreciated
to-day. The present cumbersome delivery

What aplies 10 New York and Brook

perfect and cheap electric plant.
The present outlook Is that the Niagara

amount in collecting and storing the pow
