making the trip morning and evening in
1our hours, there will be no necessity for
staterooms. OF course, in an urgent case
we will have all the necessary convent
ences. There will be three or four spare
rooms kept always ready, and should any
one be taken sick on the train or durin o
the run to San Francisco they will be
attended to.
The fare on the present line of steamers
Will never be raised. If the opposition

The Superintendent is young man in
whose bearing there are traces OF his ex-
perlence as line officer in the service of
the united states army. He has kindly

stltut1on already hope much from his zeal
Tor its welfare.
"a week hence / can speak much more
intelligently of the needs and proposed
changes IN the hospital. / will say now,
however, that any changes it may be neces-
sary to make among the attendants will
not be made on account of politics. Sus-
pensions or removals will be made for in
competency or INSTRUMENTATION alone.
II can say Also" he added laughingly,
that one great need of the institution is
more liberal appropriation. There are $50
patients, more than should be accommo-
dated here, considering the quarters, and
yet there are people at the Almshouse now
who belong here, if there was room for
them.
THE annual appropriation is $780, 900. 1t
should be $150,000. / shall confer with the

My experience as an army officer has
made me firm believer in discipline, and

He already saw, he said, the necessity of
an increased force of attendants.

FOR THE VALLEY ROAD.
TWenty-TWo-k Knot Steamers Are
to Run Between Here
and Stockton.
Only Passengers VIII Be Carried
and the Trip VIII Be Made In
Four Hours.

The people of Stockton and the directors
of the San Joaquin Valley Railroad are
one in the matter of competition. In this
respect the California Navigation and I'M
provemenu Company is with the pro-
moters of the road. body and soul. They
will work in conjunction with il, and if
the present intentions are carried out pas
sengers will be able to travel from any
part of the valley to San Francisco in bet
ter time than made by the Southern Pacific
and at a saving of at least 81.
The facts of the matter are simply these
Steamers which will average % knots an
hour are to be built by the California Navi-
CATION and Improvement Company.
These, it is expected, will easily make the
run between here and the capital of San
Joaquin County in four hours. In that
event the railroad time via Livermore will
be beaten and that via Port Costa almost
equaled. The fare will only be 81, while
the Southern Pacific charges So 50.
So much for competition.
The new steamers are to be models OF
their kind. The hull will be built of steel
and all the other appurtenances will be of
the latest design. There will be three of
them and they will be 160 feet long and of
ten feet draught. They cannot be sunk
any deeper in the water as that means great
difficulty in navigating the waters of the
San Joaquin. IT, however, the River and
Harbor Commission will do something
for San Joaquin County in the matter OF
work on the river, the chances are that
the steamers will be able to make the run
in three hours and half.
The engines will be triple expansion and
there will be twin screws. The latter Will
be necessity in making the sharp
curves of the river. The irst of the fleet
TO be built will be called Geminl, 1.-The
Twins" and If the company's expecta-
tlons are fulfilled she will be one of the
fastest passenger steamers ever built in
San francisco. No freight will be carried
on these vessels and there will be no state
rooms. All the available space will be
used for the powerful machinery that is
expected to send the vessels along almost
as fast as a railway train.
The only question with us now is the
improvement of the river said Superin-
tendent Hugh J. Corcoran yesterday, in
talking about the matter. "If the Govern
menJ will deepen the river in order to
make it practical BILE for a fast steamer to
make time we will be right in it, Our con-
tracts call for steamers that will make
twenty-five knots or better on an alI-day
run. With these we can easily make the
! trip between Stockton and San Francisco
IN tour hours. Our run from San Fran
cisco to Stockton will take little longer,
as the conditions will not be as favora Bile.
The railroad will make far much better
time, however and people who will travel
by the Valley road will be money in pocket
and get quicker service.

A "LOW" CAME NORTH,
yagrant Storm Centers Play Havoc With
San Francisco's Weather Reports
for Yesterday.

vagrant Glow" invisible, irresponsible
and uncontrolled, has been juggling with
the weather of San Francisco in a most
scandalous way. The barometer has been
drawing line so crooked and broken that
its like cannot be found in the records OF
the office, while the path of the wind. if
plated upon paper, is worse than the
chart of an earthquake. 1t was all due to
the wandering ''low" coming up the coast
and its meeting with another "low'' off
the Oregon shore.
The barometer started at o'clock Mon
day morning at about its normal height,
and it was fairly regular until about in
the evening, but after that it began to kick
up the most surprising antics. Before
o'clock it had risen .05 of an inch, had
then dropped 10 of an inch, and was back
again at 29.77. Then it rose 1.10 of an
inch, then dropped again, then rose and
fell, but generally ascending, until yester-
day morning at IL it had reached 1895,
then it dropped to 29.S5, and after waver-
ing little more it took its usual steady
line and stuck to it. The mark left by the
indicator showed nearly 100 changes in
the time from 8 o'clock Monday night
until u O clock yesterday.
In the meantime the wind had not been
the barometer. At 8 o'clock on Monday
morning it was due west, in fifteen MN
utes it was southeast, by 1 o'clock it was
northeast, and by 8 O'Clock in the evening
it had been east, southeast, southwest,
west, southwest, west again, and again
southwest. At twenty minutes past
eleven. within ten minutes, the wind had
shifted from west to southwest, south,
southeast, southwest, northwest and back
to west.
The two record sheets when they are
sent back to Washington Will be curiosi-
ties for none like them have ever left the
San Francisco station. They are caused
by the confusion of the ''low" or storm
center coming up from the south and
meeting another Glow" travelling east
ward toward the Oregon shore, San Fran
cisco was in the interval between them
and hence the confusion of the elements
and the disorderly action of the baromete,
and wind gauge.

VICTORY FOR THE NURSE.
The Board of Health Supports Miss
Patton as Against DR.. Titus.


Patton as Against DR.. Titus.
Exit DR.. Titus. Enter Miss Patton.
That is about the situation at the CITY
and County Hospital. The ex-superin-
tendent and head nurse at the hospital
held differing views on management,
which fact gradually led to DR.. Titus de-
cision that the lady was insubordinate and
fit subject for discipline.
Consequently she received summary no.
tice three weeks ago that suspension for
an indefinite time was the penalty of her
alleged lack of respect for his authority
Miss Patton laid the case before the
Board Of Health and received its support
to the extent of an assurance that upon
the expiration of DIR. Titus short-lived
tenure of office she should resume her
duties.
DR.. Stable, the successor of DR.. Titus,
said he had been informed by Dr. Titus
that the lady had been suspended, but he
had not yet had time to investigate the
charges. If action be taken in the matter
at all it is probable it will be at the meet
ing to be held to-day.

duties yesterday.
