long and from II to 80 feet wide, according
to the power required. They dip from u

ranged so as to raise or lower it with the

ton of the ocean operates on the parts
dipping and causes them to sway to

President Spreckels and the other mem
bers of the committee which went to
Sacramento returned last night. They say
they are satisfied with the result of their
efforts.
San Jose people are disposed to look up
on the recent developments in Sacramento
as favorable to their route through the
Santa Clara Valley. They say that if it
was proposed to run the line out through
Alameda County the place where the larg-
est amount of ground would be required
would be on the opposite side of the bay,
where the yards would necessarily be. The
necessary accommodations for a ferry SER
vice, they point out, will be secured without
the necessity of asking for as large body
of land as the valley road people are evil

provided, however, that there must be open
ings in the seawall whenever it is built to
give access to these basins. The commits
sion in 1875 recommended that this reserva-
ton be made, and it was done by the
Legislature in the act of March u.s. 1873.
The act provides that the basins shall be
dredged out and that openings shall be
made in the seawall whenever it is built.
This act would have to be repealed before
the basins could be given over to the pur-
pose proposed. If China basin should be
filled in there would probably be objections
from the Southern Pacific Company which
owns most of the land fronting on it.
From India basin there would be a good
entrance into the city, and 1 should think
that would be most available"

forty-nine and half acres.
The line for the proposed seawall, as
laid down in the Harbor Commissions
maps, would reduce the area about ten
acres.
The Southern Pacific Company has a
wharf and warehouses on China basin, and,
with the property it owns along the west
side, practically controls it. 1t has side
track running over its property below
Fourth street not far from the west line of
the basin and along the whole length of
the southwest side to its wharf on the
water front.
This fact would seem to have a tendency
to cause the directors to turn their atten-
ton toward the other basins farther to the
south, although they may have outlined

with Eastern connections they would be

available property is, in the basins. If

great sorrow of the people at parting with
him.
1--WE are glad to have an opportunitv,
he said, ''to honor ourselves in honoring
man who has brought the people of Cali
fornia to a sense of their sacred duty"
He said that the hearts of the patriotic
men and women of California would
always be filed with love for their guest,
who had inaugurated a work in this city
and State which would finally be carried to
a successful issue.
Misses Bower and Hicks gave piano
selection and Baby" Mearns sang "Wh hose
Little Girl Are Your you Can't Lose
Me, Charley" and the Little Red School
house" in manner that aroused the en-
thusiasm of the audience to the highest
pitch. Miss Jennie Curry gave a recita-
ton and Miss Underwood rendered two
solos.
DIR. Henry was then presented and re-
ceived an ovation. He said:
''The older grow the more significant
appear to me the friendships of life. There
is an old saying that "a friend in need is
friend indeed can say to you tonight
that you have stood the test well. l can
look into your faces tonight and call you
friends, and say with all earnestness on be-
half of myself and wife that we wish to
record our esteem and gratitude for your
kindness.
e! have simply been your mouthpiece
during the movement of the last twelve
months; without your support the battle
would have been far less victorious.
II rejoice that during the last year
these organizations have spread, and that
renewed interest in American patriotism
and American liberty has SPREAD
DR.. Henry closed his address by assuring
his friends that their kindness to himself
and wife would always be remembered by
them.

sisting of songs by j. l.. Baker and W. C.

Messrs. Percy and Bower was rendered,

its nominees in future from the trouble of
circulating petitions to have the candi-
dates placed on the official ballot.
Members of the executive committee
have expressed themselves as not favoring
the indorsing of any of the candidates of
the Good Government Club for City Trus
tees. The old executive committee con-
sisted of fifty members the ma oritY of
whom are in favor of having platform.
Chairman Allen will endeavor to have
Mrs. |. n. Chapman Endorsed for School
Director. The convention will in all prob
ability be lively one.
Suit Dismissed.
Mrs Robert Harvey was in Justice
Swasey's court yesterday afternoon with
her witnesses to disprOve the charges of
disturbing the peace of Mrs. K. Yates,
being a counter-charge, prompted in all
probability by the arrest of her sons for
using indecent language and discharging
firearms within the city limits. None of
the representatives for the prosecution put
in an appearance, and Justice Swasey dis
missed the charge and taxed the costs of
the suit, amounting to about $50, to the
complainant.
Arranging for Mass-Mee Getting.
The executive committee of the Good
Government Club is making arrangements
for a ratification meeting Saturday night,
to be held at Linderman Opera-house
Good speakers will discuss local municipal
matters. This will be the opening gun of
the campaign.

Central basin is Just beyond China basin

To prevent the deterioration which
takes place in coal when stacked in an
ordinary manner it has been proposed in
the case of large quantity having to be
stacked for a considerable period to try
the effect Of submerging it in a snffi-
Gent depth of water to give the neces-
sary pressure for combining the gas within
the pores. And it is further suggested
that to prevent loss of gas in transit coal
might be conveyed, while remaining
submerged, by the numerous canals and
navigable rivers which are now being
rehabilitated in the various countries of
Europe. EXCHANGE
