PRESIDE IMPROVEMENTS,
The First of Seven Handsome Brick
and Stone Barracks to Be
Built.

Inside of year the wooden barracks
buildings at the Preside will be torn down
to make way for modern brick and stone
structures. Within a few weeks the con-
struction of one of these permanent double
barracks buildings will be commenced.
The plans call for two-story brick and
stone building-in reality double bar
racks, having sufficient accommod alton for
several infantry companies.
The War Department intends to erect at
least seven of these permanent structures
at an aggregate cost of about $250000. The
approximate cost of the barracks now about
to be built is $4,000. The site of the seven
buildings will be south of the parade
ground.
Contracts have been let to fill in the
ravine intersecting the parade grounds,
and this work is now being done. The
construction of a new strategic roadway
from the new water works plant to the
barracks, the building of stone wall
around the reservation and the compile
ton of the water works are other improve
ments that have either been commenced
at the Preside or are about to be.
Some time during the month the con-
struction of the barracks building now
advertised will begin. The contract will
require its completion in ninety days.

BUDD'S PROMISE.
Citizens Assured That He Will APP
point a Good Board of
Health.

A committee from the Civic Federation,
composed of 1. J. Truman, George T.
Gaden, D. Gilbert Dexter and Rev. E. R.
Ollie, waited upon Governor Budd yester-
day afternoon to protest against the APP
pointment of Board of Health which
would select DR.. Marc Livingston as Health
Officer.
A copy of the resolutions adopted by the
Civic Federation at its last meeting, which
sharply denounced DR.. Levingston as q
dangerous politician and one who had cast
dishonor upon the Office of Coroner when
he held it, was presented to the Governor,
and the committee then in turn urged
him to pay careful attention to the resolu-
lions which, on account of the federation
being composed of delegates from the
various reform organizations of San Fran
cisco. represented the sentiments of those
citizens who desire improvement in public
affairs.
The Governor received the committee
cordially and told them that he would
attempt and believed he would be able to
appoint Board of Health which would
satisfy the Civic Federation.

The Board of Examiners Has Arrived
and Will Begin Work.
Surgeons George Purvince, II. w. Aus
tin and II. R. Carter of the United States
Marine Hospital Service arrived in this
city yesterday.
They will sit as an examining board on
the officers who have served longest in the
United States Revenue Marine Service,
and also those who from any cause are
suffering from disability. Any of these
who are found to be physically incom-
petent will be retired and younger officers
will be promoted.
The board met in the office of the Ma
rine Hospital in the Appraisers building
yesterday but did very little. The SUBJ
ject of the retirement of many officers now
on the active list will be taken up to-day
and the decision of the board will be
known in few weeks. Quite number of
revenue officers well known in San Fran
cisco are slated for retirement and in
consequence several men who have hitherto
ranked as lieutenants will receive their
captaincies.

1t is reported that the big British ship
Drumrock, which lately arrived at Seattle
from England, had a mutiny aboard at

The other officers and apprentices came
to their aid and pitched battle took place
on the vessels deck.
The captains forces secured all the be-

iron was too much for the steel, and the
officers laid about them with such vigor
that every man of the crew was knocked

STUDYING THE FIG WASP.
Introduction of a Smyrna Insect That
Promises Wonders.


Promises Wonders.
State Entomologist A. NJ. Craw has re-
ceived communication from George Roed-
ing of Fresno, saying that the fig wasps
imported from Smyrna were thriving
splendidly.
The wasps are developed in the Capri fig
trees of Smyrna, and subsequently enter
the domestic fig, carrying with them a
pollen W hich perfeots the development of
the fig seeds. To this strange phenomena
the superior quality of the Smyrna fig is
attributed.
Mr.. Roeding is a prominent fig-grower
OF Fresno, and proposes to introduce the
Capri fig and the fig wasp into California.
Mr. Craw expects as result of the expert
ment that the California fig will ulti-
mately surpass those grown in Smyrna.
de is at the present time studying the de-
yelopment OF the embryo fig wasps sent
that the insects will thrive in this State.

They Sing Low Now.

Last year the Republican papers in
this territory made great deal of noise
about the low price of wool which, they
said, was caused by the prospect of the
passage of tariff bill which would
place wool on the free list. The McKin-
ley bill was then in operation and wool
was lower than it had ever been in the
history of this country. Wool has now
been on the free list for several months;
long enough for the wool business of the
country to get settled and wool is a
great deal higher than it WAS at this
time last year and it is continually i'm
proving in price. The advance is likely
to continue for some months to come,
but there will be hundreds of Republican
papers next year which will insist that
wool has been much lower under the
Wilson bill than it was under the McKin-
ley bill and there will be plenty of people
who will believe it.-Silver City Eagle.

CAPITAL AND LABOR.

good many corporations which re-
duced wages in 1898 are now voluntarily
making advances. Among them is the
Pullman Car company. An advance of 10
per cent is made to employees who have
been working for two years on such
wages as the company could pay without
passing dividends. There are other
companies who continued to pay the old
rates of wages through the dull season.
Not much is said about these companies,
but they have nevertheless been the main
stay of business in period of industrial
depression. Their regular wage fund
thrown into the channels of trade at such
times assumes large proportions. The
recurring reductions and increases in
wages, according to the conditions OF
business, imply a copartnership be-
tween capital and labor that does not
ordinarily exist. Large profits are never
divided among employees. The current
rates of wages are paid during periods
when large profits are realized, but we
never hear of employees being included
in the payment of dividends. But when
an employer requires his workmen to
stand the loss of dull times he should be
correspondingly liberal when times be-
come brisk.

under the impression that the protec
ZIONIST prophets were telling the truth
when they predicted ruin for the wool
industry, but the number was not suf1ic-
lent to come anywhere near causing the
remarkable boom in wool now witnessed.
The policy of having raw materials,
such as wool, placed upon the free list is
one which has been followed by every
enlightened protectionist nation, with the
Germany, France and other European
countries when they have drafted their
protectionist tariffs have always adhered
to the method that Senator Sherman
looked upon as Objectionable, and have
profited thereby, just as it will be demon
strated within the next year or two that
the United States has greatly profited by
this change in its tariff regulations.
We were told that every sheep would be
instantly slaughtered if foreign grown
wool was made duty free, but, apparently,
the reduction that took place, for in
stance, in Ohio, in the number of sheep,
after wool was free listed was consider
ably less than the reduction that took
place before this tariff change was made.
Between 1892 and 1894, during which
time the Mckinley law was in existence,
there was reduction in the number of
sheep in the state of about 100000. The
falling off between 1894 and 1895 during
a part of which time wool was on the free
lst-was less than 100000, and it would
not be surprising if the record of 1896
showed an increase, rather than decrease
in the size of the focks.

REPUBLICANS ARE RATIFIED.

The Republican press is now assidu-

report that the wool crop is this year
100000 900 pounds short of last years clip
because Of the great slaughter of sheep.
This is very weak effort to apologize
for the present price Of wool under the
operation of the Dem ocratic tariff reform
law. Doubtless some thin-skinned and
weak .kueed people did kill off or other
