benefited through the expenditure OF q
large proportion of the amount received
for the bonds in the Improvement of their
suburban property.
The Times publishes this morning a
positive denial-of the epidemic report by
large number of our most reputable ply
sicians. Their practice extends to all
parts OF the city, and includes every ele-
ment of our population, and If typhoid
epidemic existed, or il there were any
danger of one, they would be among the
first to know and report it, Their state
ments are absolutely correct and, as infor-
nation concerning the extent of typhoid in
Washington, they can be relied upon. They
also furnish conclusive evidence that there
are people who would sacrifice the good
name OF their city for personal gain, and
whose attempt To do so in this instance
has nearly proved successful
Generally speaking, the sanitary condi-
tion of Washington is as good as, If not
better than, most other large and growing
cities. A part of its drainage facilities
heeu increasing, anu certah Oh lls new
districts require an extension OF sewer
and street improvements There should
also be better arrangements to dispose cf
sewage, all of which will meet the approval
of the public when presented t.o Congress
in the right kind OF way. But any blanket
measure that provides for large bond
issue that does not specify the nature and
localities of the improvements will be
condemned and defeated if possible, es-
pecially If brought into Congress IN the
strength of a typhoid epidemic that has
no existence.

At a meeting of the team yesterday Ed
ward Sherman of Oakland was elected to
the captalncy. Little Sherman" as he is
Familiarity called, is prominent figure on
the gridiron. He made the eleven in his
freshman year, and showed out promi-
nently in the tie game of that season as
left end. He was in every play, and
tackled like demon.
Heffelfnger, the famous Yale guard, was
most enthusiastic about Sherman's play
ing, and pronounced him to be the best
end rush on the coast.
Sherman weighs but 125 pounds, and is
only feet 4 inches in height, but in
spite of disadvantages he outplayed all his
competitors, and earned his place in the
team. He is gritty player and a general
favorite among all the students.
Sherman had his first experience in foot
ball at the Oakland High School, in which
team he played for two years. The new
captain is member of the class of '97, and
will be Junior when he takes charge OF
the team. Percy Benson expects to help
in the coaching next year:

WAR IN PASSENGER RATES.
1t Is Cheaper to Travel Than to Remain

1t Is Cheaper to Travel Than to Remain
at Home.
War was instituted yesterday between
the Pacific Coast Steamship Company and
the Never & Akmann line, running steam
ers from this port to Seattle, Tacoma and
Victoria. The first named company re-
duced first-class fare from $40 to SIC and
steerage passage from $40 to 81 80. The
opposition line more than met this cut.
When their steamer, the Farallon, sailed
first-class rates were announced as $14 a
ticket.
This means the beginning of cutting
war that promises to go very low and even
affect the passenger traffic on the northern
railroad lines. The Pacific Coast people
think that they are a larger corporation
and can stand the battle for a longer time.
Those of the opposition declare that they
can stay with the game and cut freight
rates also.
The American bark Harvester, reported
ashore on the southwest coast of Africa,
has been foated and put INTO Delagoa Bay
for repairs.
A bare report of the loss of the British
bark, Annie Stafford comes from Dieppe.
The bark arrived from Philadelphia De-
cember'17, and was sailing on a return trip
to the same city when she took fire and
had to be scuttled.
Rough weather is reported along the
Atlantic coast and many disasters have
occurred, among them being the loss of
the bark Beatrice off Sandy Hook and two
barges in the same vicinity. On the latter
were five men, all of whom are supposed to
have been lost.
The tug Fearless, which took the pomo-
logical visitors around the bay yesterday,
and would have taken the Governor had
without the musicians employed for the
occasion and was well out in the stream,
when Captain Dan Haskell saw the three
dehnquents coming down the wharf and
put back for them. The band consisted OF
violin, banjo and a harp. The excur-
sionists have it in for Haskell.

to one nearer, might only recall the mono
tonous click of sewing-machine to a man
of less imaginative mind.
1t is of great interest therefore to music
lovers to hear that new departure in
descriptive music is to be taken in San
Francisco. This is to give standard works
from the great composers, as well as pop
ular music, illustrated by dissolving views
arranged in such manner that the figures
will have all the appearance of living pic
lures, larger, however, than life size, while
the arrangement of the scenery will admit
OF clouds moving and dissolving, waves
tossing and trees waving, etc.
The idea has never been tried before in
the history of music, and there is no doubt
but that the illustrations will add i'm
mensely to the realistic effect of the tone
painting. Take Saint-Saens' "Danse
Macabre" for instance. The concert-pro-
grammes generally inform the hearers of
the gruesome scene represented by the SYM
phonic poem, but at the musical festival
which is about to take place death will
actually be seen sitting among the graves,
playing the weird dance theme on his violin,
then devils, imps and gnomes will appear,
while the graves will dissolve, and skele-
tons rise ny and dance the dance of death,
"till cockcrow makes them fee"
Naturally, with large musical repertory
there Will be many opportunities for intro
ducing variety into the pictures. Gounod's
Faust" and Bizet's Carmen" will give
many chances for picturesque illustrating.
So will "Rigoletto." Gle prophetic" and
many other operas, while popular selec-
tons that are not generally supposed to
belong to the descriptive class of music
can be brought home to the hearers eyes,
as well as their ears, "The Village Black
smith can be represented toiling, rejoic-
ing and sorrowing, while children look in
at the smithy door. Other popular heroes
of song can also for once be seen in some
thing that looks much like the flesh
Of course the idea of illustrating SYM
phonic poems, as well as lighter works,
has to be very carefully worked out or else
its would lend itself to ridicule. Skeletons
that would not work easily and black
smith who beat the anvil mechanically
would excite nothing but scorn and destroy
rather than heighten the effect of the
promenade fair, which opens shortly in
the Mechanics Pavilion, the effects
will be very artistically carried out. The
canvas on which the dissolving views are
to be shown is fifty feet square and the
machine for producing them is of kind
that has not yet been seen in California.
The experiment is certainly an inter
esting one, for it yet remains to be seen
whether people of musical temperament
will enjoy sone painting more when they
have to use their eyes instead of their
imaginations.
The band which consists of 100 musicians
is the largest that has been heard in San
Francisco. Alfred Roncovieri the musical
director, is a musician who is well known
and is very popular in San Francisco as
well as throughout the State.

The populous centers of the State will be
appealed to by the unemployed men in
San Francisco to aid them in their demand
for State appropriation and rate of
wages to be paid for State labor. This ap-
peal will be made by letters addressed by
the organization begun on the oath inst. at
1859 Mission street. That was the princi-
pal topic of discussion at yesterdays meet
ing.
The sum OF 81 Is was raised to pay for

greet that they were positively unable to

the meeting that the work of getting sig
natures had progressed so well that there
are now more than 5000 names on the lists.
II believe" he said, "that it can be run up
to 10000 by Monday"
The suggestion by Chairman Sells of the
signature committee that the lists should
be ready to be presented to the Mayor TO-
morrow was met with considerable oppo-
sition, and the motion of Mr.. La Fleur that
the presentation of the petition be post
poned till February prevailed.
Additional volunteers were added to the
signature committee, who were to visit the
mass-meeting in Metropolitan Temple last
night and secure signatures. Others volun-
teered to work with the church-going
people to-day.
A remark dropped by P. Ross Martin
that some of the men who are soliciting
these names are going hungry brought out
three or four personal admissions of the
fact. William Tivey said he had solicited
yesterday and the day before in the course
of his efforts to secure work and obtained
300 or 400 names, though he had eaten but
one meal in the two days.
This brought the request from Chairman
Joyce that the business men be notified
that if they desired to aid this cause pecu-
niarily they could make their contributions
at the meetings at 2 P. NJ. any day till

has been engaged free of charge.

This question was once asked in a con-

practical idea descriptive music can convey

tone painting is too vague to convey the

CHIEF ARTHUR rs COMING.
The Engineers Are Unable to Settle Their
Difficulties.

The long-continued session of the
grievance committee of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers on the Pacific
system of the Southern Pacific road and
their frequent conferences with General
Superintendent Fillmore have been with
out avail in the attempt to settle the differ
ences between the company and its
men, and as a last resort the engineers
have summoned their chief, P. M.
Arthur, from the East, and that official
is now on his way to this coast.
The coming of Chief Arthur cannot be
said to be an indication of pending
trouble, as that gentleman has always been
a strong opponent of strikes; yet when
he finds that the members of the organiza-
ton over which he presides are not re-
ceiving what he regards as their just dues
he is firm advocate of upholding their
rights through the medium of strike if
no other solution appears practicable.
1t has leaked out that the proceedings
held in secret by the grievance committee
IN this city were characterized at times by
severe criticisms of the actions of the rail-
road company's officials, and that some of
