MUST PAY THE BONDS.
Government Obligations OF e.
100000 on Pacific Railroads.
Will Soon BE Due-Treasury Department
Will Find Itself Somewhat Ember.
rassed Providing tho Necessary
funds to Meet the Demand.

The treasury department is con-
fronted with an embarrassing matter
in the necessity for providing funds to
meet obligations of the government
growing out of It's relations to the Pa
cific railroads. Within the next few
months there will fall due $s,640,O00 of
bonds issued on account of these rail-
roads. They are as follows:
November 6. Kansas Pacific bonds3 $4,000
January !. Central Pacitic........... 100000
ee aisai braneS Union Pacifc l' s+SSS
February /, Union Pacific. .......... $4,000
Notice has already been given that
the 100000. due on November will be
paid on that date, but the payments
in January and February are more
serious questions. These amounts, it
is understood, were not included in
Secretary Carlisle's calculations upon
which he based his estimates Of re-
ceipts and expenditures for the current
year, and if some means could be found
to obviate the necessity of disbursing
that amount of cash, they would be
gladly welcomed. The secretary will
doubtless recommend in his report to
congress that legislation be passed by
which the bonds can be refunded at
a lesser rate of interest. But the very
brief period which will intervene be-
tween the date of the assembling of
congress and that of the maturity
of the bonds, as we'll Us the opposition
which any proposition respecting the
Pacific railroads debt always evokes,
precludes the possibility of anything
being accomplished that will relieve the
treasury situation.

According to my observation there is
nothing that is more fascinating than
"reminiscences" said Colonel Reuben D..
Strong to me as we were strolling in the
vicinity of Black Point.
The colonel was resident of this City
from the early days down to the time OF
the breaking out of the war, when he went
East and did not return until recently.
The remark quoted was made after the
speaker had told of some event of the long
ago, and he added: "When l look
at San Francisco to-day 1 cannot
contain myself, but feel that 1 must
talk of San Francisco as I knew it before
the sixties AS said before, "reminiscences
have peculiar fascination for all. They
serve to recall things that were, which in
the hurry of everyday life have passed out
of mind, and they serve to instruct the
rising generation as to what existed and
what was done by those who preceded
them, long before they saw the light of the
sun in this the golden paradise of America.
If the young feel an interest in knowing
what was done in the days of ancient
Rome and of Greece they certainly feel an
interest in knowing about their own coun-
try, particularly of their own City in which
they are growing"
Fright you are, colonel, and I'd like to
have you give me some of your personal
recollections."
"Glad to do that" said the colonel, who
glanced around him for some time before
he uttered another word. Then he said ::
"Well, San Francisco has moved in a little

OFF TO OAZADERO,
The Gross Country Club Planning
Unique Trip Next Sunday

unique Tip Next sunday.
The Gross Country Club of this City has
recently inaugurated new enterprise. II
is the systematic arrangement of excur-
sions to attractive sections of the State,
which the public generally is invited to
participate in, and as the club is not in the
movement as money-making scheme it
is able to secure popular rates from trans
portation companies, which thus far have
been less than one cent a mile, and which
the people are allowed to profit by, the
club actually giving the same rate to the
public as is accorded it by the railroads.
The next event under the direction of
the club will be grand family excursion
to the redwood section along the Russian
River, leaving this City via the s A. NJ. Sau-
salito boat on Sunday, July q. A special
frst-class train will be in waiting at Sausa-
Ito, which will be rushed through on fast
time to CaZadero, where between two and
three hours will be enjoyed, and then. on
the return, the train will stop at many of
the most picturesque localities along the
Russian River. 1t will start from How
ards on the homeward trip at about 5 p. M.
and arrive home at about s :15 P. NJ, allow
ing the excursionists altogether over four
hours for sightseeing away from the train.
Notwithstanding the superior service
which will be provided, the extremely low
rate of 81 so has been secured for the round
trip of ia miles, with half rate for chill
dTen.
The train will be, under the personal
management OF J. E; Locke, president of
the 'Cross-Country Club, and every effort
will be made to make the trip enjoyable to
all who go. The sale of tickets will be lin
tied to the seating capacity of the cars, and

turned the next day. There were two
companies that delivered water in this
rather primitive way. One had its carts
painted a bright scarlet and the other its
carts of q sky-blue shade. AS the City
began to assume extraordinary proportions
there was clamor for better water facilities.
'John Bensley in 1855 or 1856 induced a
number of prominent men TO JOIN him in
project to bring water into the City from
Mountain Lake, some distance beyond the
Preside. After doing some work in the
way of running tunnel the work was
abandoned and he turned his attention to
Lobos Creek near Point Lobos, from which
nearly three millions of gallons of pure,
fresh water, soft and clear as crystal, flowed
daily into the ocean. In 81 the company
l named was organized. a wooden fume
about five miles in length was built around
the meandering course of the bluffs, across
Fort Point and then to this place.
Then the creek was damned and the
water which came from there was pumped
by this engine into reservoir at the cor
ner of Francisco and Hyde streets, the first
ever built here. It had a capacity of
10000 gallons, and from it pipes were
laid to supply all the northern part of
the City, except portions of Telegraph
Hill. Those pipes also supplied down
town as far south as Market street. Shortly
after that a second reservoir was built at
Greenwich and Hyde streets, and from
there connection was made with distribut-
ing pipes to various sections. The p6mp-
ing station had capacity of 100000 gal
Ions day.
"Do I remember the date of the turning
on the water here? | do for it was an i'm
portant event. 1t was on the 9th of Sep
tember, 1858, so you see your water sys-
tenn, of which this was the beginning.

CANADIAN PACIFIC CHANGES.
It's Passenger Agents the Coast
Transferred for Business Reasons.

Its Passenger Agents on the Coast
Transferred for Business Reasons.
General Agent Stern of the Canadian
Pacific Railway in San Francisco has made
some changes in his Office in connection
with the company's northwestern depart
ment.
P. K. Gordon, formerly ticket agent of
the company in this City, rendered his
resignation and entered the service of the
Southern Pacitic's passenger department.
w. f. Cline, formerly ticket agent of the
Canadian Pacific at Seattle, was appointed
to his position. w. F. Carson, who used
to be travelling passenger agent of the line
in California was transferred to Tacoma to
cake charge of the Puget Sound territory,
and was succeeded by j.. f. Calder, who
came down from the Sound where he had
been acting as passenger agent of the
Canadian Pacific.
The transfers were made with view to
the fitness of agents for the different dis
tricts, and the Inauguration of a fight for
more passenger business over the line from
Vancouver. AS may be expected, these
agents will make special efforts to secure
passengers all over this State and the
Northwest for the Empress line of steam.

THE CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
San Francisco Will Probably
Have the Convention
of 1897.
A Vote Favorable to Our City Has
Been Passed by the Committee
at Boston.

The grand Christian Endeavor conven-
ton that is now being held in Boston, in
the remarkable number of its delegates
and visitors, is attracting the attention oi
the whole country.
That this same convention is not now
meeting in San Francisco is due entirely to
the fact that at the time when the matter
could have been arranged and decided
upon the various transportation COM
panies whose lines lead to the coast paused
and considered over the matter of rates
until it was too late, and Boston was
decided upon.
The arrangements and practices of the
society are such as to require that the
places OF meeting be named two years in
advance. The movement looking toward
having one Of the assemblies held in San
Francisco was begun in 1892. The dele
gates from the Pacific Coast, some eighty
hive In number, that attended the conven-
ton at Montreal IN 1893 presented an in
vitation to have San Francisco named for
1885, which proposition was received SO
favorably as to cause the trustees to agree
to accept, provided favorable railroad rates
could be obtained. The committee here
went energetically to work to arrange mat
ters. endeavoring to prevail upon the rail-
road companies to grant the desired con-
cesslons. Their efforts were unsuccessful
up to the time of the closing of the con-
vention held at Cleveland in 1894, the
trustees of which held off until the last
moment, when other arrangements were
made, Washington being chosen for 1896.
Nothing daunted, the committee again
began to press matters for 1897, and with
such success that it is more than probable
that San Francisco will be selected for the
above year.
The energetic provisional committee,
composed of Rolla V. Watt, chairman, and
j. 5. Webster and G. q. Merritt, all busi-
ness men, and who look at matters from
this standpoint are leaving no stone un-
turned to accomplish results. That every
assistance should be extended to them
by the community regardless of faith is
apparent to all
1t is understood in an unofficial way that
the desired reduced railroad rate will be
conceded and that the probabilities of sue
cess in 1897 are very fattering. as the COM
mlttee at Boston have decided by vote of
1o TO to come to San Francisco provided
the rates are arranged. San Francisco was
not alone in her invitation, Seattle, Port

in such prospect that should enlist the un-
alloyed interest OF every citizen of the State
and prompt TO full-handed purpose OF giving
that convention hearty California welcome.
Rev. Dr. Case, an enthusiastic supporter
of the movement also took business
as we'll as a spiritual view of the matter.
Among other remarks he said:
1t will bring men of all denominations from
the East, and will be a very great benefit to
California in every way.
The coming to our shores of thousands of
young people, ripe for impressions and, ready
for the battle of life, will result in much good
to us.

Officials Say No Highbinder War Is I'm
minenu at Present.
The fears that another highbinder war
is imminent, which were entertained by
many after the shooting OF Chong Wal in
Chinatown two days ago, are apparently
unfounded. There have been no further
acts of violence and the police believe
there is no danger Of a re-opening of hos
tilities between the Chinese societies.
1t is the theory of tie police that the
shooting was the result of a sort of ven
delta existing between certain of the So
cieties peculiar to the race and that when
a member of one society is illed the score
must be made even by killing a member of
the opposite society. 1t is the theory of
the police that the score is now even. At
the Chinese consulate no fears are enter
tanned relative to another outbreak, al
though precautionary measures have been
taken to prevent any possibility of such an
occurrence,
