OF WINNING,
Stewart Menzies Believes That
He Will Be Police Com
missioner.
Decision of the Supreme Court In
the Case May Soon Be Rem
dered.

The time for the Supreme Court to rem
der a decision which will determine
whether Stewart Menzies or Moses Gunst
shall hold the office of Police Commls-
sioner of San Francisco will soon arrive.
The fact that the court did not immedi-
ately decide the question is regarded by
Mr.. Menzies and his counsel as strong
point in favor of Governor Budd's ap-
pointee. 1t will be called to mind that
Governor Markham during the closing
hours of his administration accepted the
resignation of D. M. Burns as Commits
sioner and appointed Nose Gunst. The
appointment created prodigious uproar
throughout the State and caused popular
tumult in San Francisco. For time the
opinion was entertained that Commission
ers Alvord and Tobin would not recognize
Mr.. Gunst, but that phase of the situation
was quickly dispelled by the ready manner
in which the old Commissioners recognized
the right of the Governor to appoint but
not to remove.
One of the first official acts of Governor
Budd was to appoint Stewart Menzies Po-
lice Commissioner, but Messrs. Alvord and
Tobin did not acknowledge the Governors
right to remove Mr.. Guust, and so the
question was taken to the court. Attorney
General Fitzgerald and Henry n. Clement,
who went to the Supreme tribunal in be-
half of Mr.. Menzies, expressed the greatest
confidence in their clients case when the
proceedings were instituted, and that con-
fidence has increased rather than dimin-
ished since the papers were filed and the
arguments submitted. Should the de-
cision be in Menzies' favor Governor Budd
will remove Tobin and Alvord without de-
lay. He has openly declared his intention
to do this and authorized THE CALL to pub
lish that he would appoint James Y. Cole
man and L. r. Ebert Commissioners.
In speaking of the case yesterday, Mr..
Menzies expressed the greatest confidence
in the success of his suit in court, but said
that Mr.. Coleman would not serve, even if
the place could be had without a contest,
as he had made arrangements to go abroad
and remain away for a long time. Mr..
Ellert, he thought. would be at once APP
pointed by Governor Budd should the
present suit be won by himself.
There is no question as to how Mr.. Men
reorganization of the Police Depart
ment He expresses his opinions with
as much frankness as he expressed
them last winter when the community was
in a tumult over Gunst's nomination. He
is fearless, resolute man of affairs. His
knowledge of public necessity and his
comprehension of public duty here con-
vince him, so he says, that The proper
way to reorganiZe is to begin at the source
of police authority and remove the head
men without delay.
How Ellert would act is another ques-
ton. He is inclined to be conservative
rather than radical, and might regard Mr.
MenZieS' methods as extreme

SOME MONSTER REPTILES.

The Academy Of Sciences Gets an I'M
mense Python.
The Academy. of Sciences has recently
received a python from the Philippine ISL
ands which, when alive, was over thirty
feet in length.
j. A. Pettingill brought it to this City,
but it died while on the voyage. In death
it is the tendency of a snake to shrink up
somewhat, but it will be twenty-five and
a half feet long when stuffed, anyhow.
The receipt Of this serpent has suggest ed
the idea of having distinctively reptile
case fitted up in the museum. The acad-
envy has two other big snakes, one an Afri-
can python and the other boa from Da.
honey, in the same continent. Both OF
these, however, were too young when
caught, and bad not fully grown.
There are also few monster lizards, the
iguanas in particular, and those from the
Ladrone Islands. All these reptiles will be
put into the same case.
The Philippine Islands python had the
capacity of swallowing 76- pound pig, but
his gorge did not occur often, as he fed
only once month. He also shed his skin
monthly.

PRICE OF MILLING ORE,
President Fish's Testimony
i'm the Big Mining Suit
Concluded.
JOHN w. MACKAY EXAMINED.
He Talks of the Senator Jones Con-
tracts, and Calls SO a Ton Fair
Figure for His Work.

The examination of President c. II.
Fish in the big mining suit of Theodore
Fox VS.. John w. Mackay, before Judge
Seawell, was concluded early yesterday
afternoon, and Mr.. Mackay occupied the
stand for the rest of the day. The testi-
mony of President Fish was along the
same lines as pursued on Monday in the
effort of the plaintiff to show that Mr..
Fish's actions as president were controlled
by Mackay. Flood and O'Brien. Mr.. Fish
said, in response to questions asked by
Attorney Sieberst, that neither of these
persons sought to influence him in any,
thing he did in his official capacity as
president. Knowing that they knew all
about the mine and were more or less in
terested, directly or indirectly, he said he

cit would be detected by the assays"
On cross-examination by Mr.. Deal, Mr..
Mackay stated that since 1888, the time of
making the first Jones contract, he had
not owned nor controlled the majority of
the shares of the Consolidated California
and Virginia Mining Company, and ex-
planned the workings of the mine TO show
the difficulty of the work under the Jones
contract.
"Considering the condition of the mine,
was or was not So per ton a fair and rea-
sonable price to pay Jones for crushing the
ore under the contract of 1892

charge &c."
After considerable more testimony re-
viewing the direct examination of Mr..
Mackay, the court adjourned till 10 o'clock
this morning.

DOUBLE SEASON TICKET.
How 1t Is Used to Cheat the MANAGE
ment of the Mechanics' Insti-
tute Fair.

The ticket system which the managers
of the Mechanics Institute Fair have
adopted would work admirably If all peo-
pie who wanted to see the show at the
Pavilion were honest, but since all are not
the system is weak.
A railroad man, who has had experience
vast and varied in the ticke. business. was
surprised recently to observe quite line
of women and children standing on Larkin
street, near the Pavilion entrance He
knew that they were expecting to attend
the fair, but saw no obstacle to prevent
them from going to the window and
getting tickets. Curiosity led him to OBJ
serve how they got in.
Presently man came out and took in
woman and a child on season ticket. A
little girl then came out and took in a lady.
The railroad man concluded that season
tickets were being used quite freely.
1t was explained that only the holder of
the ticket is identified by marks indi-
eating his appearance, and so the double
admission can be used indefinitely to take
in ladies and children.

Mr.. Mackay answered the question as
indifferently as if the matter of $4,000, OCO
cut very small figure with him. Mr..
Sieberst was unable to produce any effect
upon him.
The witness went over the history of the
contract with Jones, so far as he was con-
nected with it, and said he advised Jones
against it. In matter of the milling of
low-grade ores. he said that he always
considered it the wiser plan to ship such
ores to the mill rather than dump them
on the waste; that it gave employment to
the men and the railroad, ana, besides
that, it was in some cases impossible to
take down the higher grade of ore and
leave the low grade undisturbed.

VALLEY ROAD WORK.
Chief Engineer Storey Presents an En-
couraging Report to the Board
of Directors.

OI DlTecCOrSs
AT the meeting of Valley road directors
yesterday Chief Engineer Storey, who re-
turned Monday from Stockton, reported
that grading had been finished practically
through Stockton and mile into the coun-
try. The contractors were working on
Weber avenue and had laid track three
blocks west of Madison avenue. The tres
tie across Mormon Channel was almost
completed, and may be crossed by the rails
before the end of this week. Mr.. Storey
further stated that he felt satisfied that the
work will be finished to the Stanislaus
River within the contract time.
The third installment of 10 per cent on
the capital stock has been coming in rap
idly since the assessment was ma de about
two weeks since. So freely has it been
paid that the directors felt greatly encour-
aged, as the response clearly proved that
whenever the new enterprise called for
support the people would respond with
GOOD will

RYAN'S APPEAL DENIED.
The Hanford Murderer Cannot Have a
New Trial for the Killing of an
Election Enemy.

The Supreme Court yesterday refused to
grant new trial to William Ryan, the
Hanford man who killed James McCaffery
at a primary election two years ago. There
was general election feud at Hanford, in
which Ryan's father was killed by mem
Der of the faction to which McCaffery be-
longed.
Ryan was convicted of murder in the
second degree. His attorneys asked for a
new trial on various allegations of error
and the claim that the District ATTORNEY
had improperly interjected comments into
the case. The Supreme Court criticized
the District Attorneys action as improper,
but refused to grant a new trial.

WORK OF THE GRAND JURY.
One Indictment Was Found and Two
Ignored Yesterday.

The United States Grand Jury made its
final report to Judge Morrow yesterday. 1t
returned one true bill and declined to rec
ognize charges against two people. The
Indictment was placed on the secret file,
but it is thought to be against Bert How
ard, who was arrested few days ago for
raising bills from So to 20.
One of the persons against whom the
jury would not bring in a true bill is Abbey
G. Libbey. The charges against her were
perjury and obtaining United States PEN
sion by fraud. She swore she was the wife
of deceased Union soldier. The other
was against Thomas B. Mccarthy, post
master at Coulterville. He was accused of
sending defamatory postal-card through
the mail.

play in the big Pavilion last night there
was an immense crowd of visitors in the

the sweet sounds.
The fair is always an attractive place in
the evening, the crowds of pretty women
with their escorts who go to see the other

pretty picture when they are moving on
