The Survey Committee Has Authorized the

SAN FRANCISCO. May 20.-Bids for
three ten-wheel locomotives of sxty-tve
tons weight each havelbeen received from
a number of eastern locom otIve works.
and will be presented by the rolling stock
committee to the board of directors of the
San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley
Railway company at its meeting tomor-
row. The engines are to be of the best
class, and the prices are said to be rela-
tlvely low.
The survey committee OF the Valley rail-
way met today and authorized Chief En-
gineer Storey to organize and equip two
more surveying parties. The Graham par
ty. which worked down from Stockton
to the Stanslaus river at Burneyille, ha,
had to make some slight change in loca-
tion. but on the other hand has begun
work in Stanislaus county. 1t will now
work up the Stansaus and Tuolumne
rivers, and more particularly examine
the Tuolumne between Waterford and
Modesto. From the last-named point the
new parties will start next week.
One of them will probably work south
from there to Fresno. and the second
from Fresno to Bakersfield.
Vice-P President Watt says that each side
OF the valley will be surveyed beyond
Fresno. and that several lines will have
to be run south to both Visalia and Han
ford. The directors were able to obtain
only an imperfect idea OF the lay of the

lie BROTHER IN LAW
Is Said to Be Again in the City and
at Business
Two of Them Reported to Have Been Dis
covered, tile Last One a Marvel of
Neatness and Efficacy

The festive brother-in-law, with his
merry, roguish tinkle, is asserted to be
again in the city. Next to a good look
ing sister n-law. a iocular brotherin-law
is best calculated to excite general in
terest. He IS so little. so very cute, so
innocent when heard and SO devilishly
sly that he succeeds in winning to him
self close attention whenever his pres
encc is even limited at. Street railway
presidents and directors. the mighty
street car travelling public men and
women alike. all are attracted by his
mirth and ideas on finances. aud the
street car conductors-why, they Just
chum with the little fellow night and
day-that is, some of them do.
AS about every one knows, the "brother-
in-law" is a device for robbingistreet car
companies, and consists essentially OF
more or less mechanism. of greater or
less size and more or less secreted by the
street car conductor chiefly more-which
when desired will give out a ring of
small calIber, Stimulating as nearly as
may be the genuine ring OF the honest
conductor when he punches, brother,
punches with care, and punches in the
presence of the passenjaire.
In the hands of a dishonest conductor
1T is rung instead of the company's bell,
and the nickel in whose honor the chime
is rung is everlastingly hung onto by the
said dishonest employee. Sometimes the
little joker is bought outright by con-
ductor at sum varying from $25 to $50,
and sometimes it is rented to him on
commission. The brother-in-law has
done great deal since its invention
almost simultaneous with the invention
of the bellpunch in its several forms-to
lessen the number of dollars that seem
ingly will accumulate in the treasury of
street car companies in spite of all that
can be done. Yes; the brother-in-law is
again with us.
Superintendent Aiken of the consoli
dated street road systems is reported to
have said yesterday that the little fellow
is here, and he certainly ought to know.
Further, ,it was learned that the detect
i've costs expended to locate the first one
were S75, the conductor having the con-
triyance in his hand when detected. The
second one discovered was smoother in
its operations. 1t was concealed inside
the conductors waistcoat and was Ope-
rated by pulling button appearing i'll
the front and apparently part of that
garment. 1t would almost puzzle parson
or mischief to find it. but it was run
down by the superintendent's detective
and the end is not yet.

Texans who propose to hold the cham
pionship battle between Corbett and Fitz-

the fight. Corbett and Vendig are now
here and FItzsimmons will arrive in a
dav or two. In letter Mr.. Stewart says:
''If the principals are sincere the syn
dicate will have no trouble in bringing
off the fight. A purse of $40, 600 to SAL. 900
will be offered for the contest. The plan
is to have the bout take place at the time
of the Dallas fair, which event attracts
great crowds. My idea would be TO have
it on the night of Drummers day, about
October 90 On that day the city is filled
with representatives of every section of
the country. The residents OF Dallas look
upon the bringing off of the event as in
a nature of an advertisement for the city
and the state. The contest can be brought
off in Dallas and the money will be ready
when the negotiations are completed. Ali

ARMOUR. N. D.. May 20.-.All arrange
ments have been completed for opening
the Yankton reservation TO settlement at
noon tomorrow. Today's trains added
greatly to the throng now awaiting the
opening. The fact that only five days
notice was given by the president in his
proclamation opening the lands will pre-
vent intending settlers residing in eastern
states from arriving until all the best land
is taken. All sorts of vehicles are being
placed in readiness for the race tomorrow.
The report reaches here tonight that a
large number of settlers are gathered on
the Nebraska side of the Missouri river
who will cross in boats promptly at the
time of the opening and secure the choice
land in the southern portion of the res
ervation. Probably not less than seventy
five settlers are already on the reserva-
ton, and only troops can remove them
and prevent others from entering the land
from remote points tonight and tomorrow

CLEVELAND, May 2O-One hundred
and twenty-five lumber showers went to
the Cleveland Sawmill and Lumber COM

clubs and stones to prevent the um ber
steamer Gettysburg being unloaded by
non-union men. Their leaders had failed
to make terms with the captain of the
vessel, who told them he had arranged to
have the boat unloaded by another gang
at less than scale prices. Frank Went,
an employee of the mill. was mistaken
for a non-union man and viciously at
tackled and unm ercifully clubbed. He
was removed to the hospital in an uncon-
scious condition. When the police ar
rived the mob had disappeared. Later
the union men unloaded the boat at regu-

AFRAID OF CAR REED
ncKinIey's Chances for a Nomination Are Not
Too Favorable

HckinIeys Chances for a Nomination Are Not
Too Favorable
BOSTON. MAY 20.-A local paper today
publishes the results of interviews with
the leading New England Republicans on
the probable nominee to be supported by
the New England delegates in 1896. The
article says:
MANY were disinclined to talk, assign
ing as reason that it was rather eaily
yet to make presidential nomination.
Some said they thought Mckinley the
logical candidate, but would rather not
offend Mr.. Reed by saying SO. Boston
politicians did not seem to be very en-
thusiastic over anybody. though they
admitted that as a matter of local pride
Mr.. Reed would probably receive the sup
port of the New England delegation if he
desired their votes in the convention.
Maine, as a matter of course. was strongly
for Reed. and her leading Republicans
predict he will have the solid New Eng
land delegation. Connecticut and Rhode
Island men a:e sure Reed cannot control
this delegation and say they expect it to
60 to a western man. New Hampshire
and Vermont are not as enthusiastic as
Maine, or as doubtful as the two southern
states of New England but they would no
doubt swing into line for Reed were other
states. including Massachusetts, to favor
him, which seems likely. The situation
seems to show that while Reed has
strong hold on the hearts of New Eng
landers he cannot count on the New Eng
land delegation as a unit. owing to the
attitude of Rhode Island and Connecticut.
The article does not Indicate which is the
stronger i'll New England, Harrison or
Nick inleyn
