UNCLE SANS COAL DEAL,
Pacific Coast Department to
Dispose of Large
Contracts.
Sixteen Million Pounds Of Coal and
Four Hundred Cords Of Wood
Required.

The United States Quartermaster's De-
partment of the Pacific Coast has adver-
tised for proposals for furnishing wood and
coal at Alcatraz Island, Angel Island,
Benicia Barracks, Fort Mason, Preside,
San Diego Barracks and San Francisco,
during the fiscal year beginning July /,
1895. The bids were all in May and in a
few days contracts for 341 cords of kindling
wood and 100000 pounds of coal will be
formally disposed of.
This is one of the largest contracts ever
offered by the Government on this coast,
and means the distributing of nearly
100000 in San Francisco, as it is generally
thought that all the contracts will be let to
parties here. The quantities of coal re-
quired at each post or station and the
amount in which each guarantor of the
bidders shall justify are as follows.
Alcatraz Island, J, 800 900 pounds ..Sl6 600
Angel Island, 100000 pounds ............. 21OO
Benicia Barracks. 000, 600 pounds ......... 2lUO
Fort Mason, 100000 pounds ........... -. 100
San Diego Barracks, 100000 pounds. ........ 400
San Francisco. 100000 pounds ,;;......;. 1900
Steamer General Nc Dowell, ], so 900 pounds 1900
Pumping Works, 700 900 pounds. ............ 700
In disposing of these contracts prefer
ence is given to articles of American pro-
duction, and particularly to such as are
produced on the Pacific Coast. The Re-
vised Statutes, section 3711, says:
1t shall not be lawful for any officer or
person in the civil military. or naval
service OF the United States in the Dis
trict of Columbia to purchase anthracite or
bituminous coal or wood for the public service
except on condition that the same shall, before
delivery, be inspected and weighed or meas
ured by some competent person, to be ap-
pointed by the head of the department or
chief of the branch OF the service for which
the purchase is made. The person so appointed
shall before entering upon the duty of in
spector, weigher and measurer, and to the sat
isfaction of the appointing officer, give bond.
with not less than two sureties, in the penal
sum OF $4,000, and with conditions that each
ton of coal weighed by him shall consist of
2240 pounds, and that each cord of wood to he
SO measured shall be of the standard measure
of 12S cubic feet.
1t is provided in the contract that the
coal and wood shall be delivered in such
quantities and at such times as the Gov
eminent might desire

Deacon I. HI. Morse read a paper on
Missions yesterday afternoon before the
Congregational Club. A number of sta
tistics were given, and the deacon urged
his brethren TO appoint day for the sim
infamous taking up of missionary col

Captain Walkup of the missionary ship
Horace Bingham, that plies to the Gilbert
Islands, enlivened the discussion on WAYS
and means for foreign missions by saying /:
There's more heathenism in San Fran

paid it over to himself as creditor OF the
syndicate. Instead of using this money"
said Mr.. Johnson, Ito pay debts, he paid IL
to himself on the ground of his being a
creditor. We have his agreement pledging
his entire interest to us. Now there Is
nothing left to pay the claims of my clients.

HIS POSITION IN THE FUSION FIGHT
AGAINST TAMsIANY HALL,
He VIII Support the Movement, but
VIII Scratch the Names OF One or
More PIntt Men ON the Ticket.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Rev. DR.. Park
hurst to-day broke the silence which he
had maintained on politics since the fusion
ticket was formed and stated his views on
the situation. Much interest has been felt
in DR.. Parkhurst's position, as he has be-
come a power in municipal politics, and
his utterances are influential He has
declared in recent reviews that he was as
deeply opposed to the Platt wing of the
Republican party as to Tammany Hall,
therefore Ii was not known whether he
would support the fusion ticket which con-
tains a majority of Plat men among the
candidates. In his statement DR.. Park
hurst said: with the outcome Of the ef-
forts that have been made at fusion / am
sadly disappointed. Surprisingly excellent
as the fusion ticket is In certain portions
of its personnel, no resident in this city
can examine the ticket without discovering
that the influences largely operative in its
construction were distinctly Indifferent to,
not to say antagon.stic to, ali that makes
for the best interest OF the city as gener-
ally interpreted. We are not satisfied to
be told OF candidate that there is moth
ing in particular that can be said against
him. Negation and colorlessness does not
level up to the grade of the popular de-
mand. Now in this we are not craticising
the committee OF fifty. It's function was
understood to b. 10 constrain the several
organizations q .ss5assine in the compost
ton of a ticket. not to compose ticket
of its own. All 1T could do was to prod the
different organizations into making the
ticket as reputable contribution as was
obtainablg: and too distinct and cordial a
recognition cannot be made of the pro-
tracted and painstahing efforts made by
IL to meet the demands of its own judg-
ment and that of the public.
Whatever there may be in the situation
that is faulty and deplorable we are not
thereby absolved from the obligation rest
ing on us as citizens to gather ourselves
up from any perplexitv into which We may
have been thrown by the unexpected, to re-
member that altered contingencies have not
modified the essential elements in the case,
and that whatever other enemies there may
be that will be required to be knocked
down when their turn comes, IL is neither
robust citizenship nor good strategy to
concentrate this year upon any other enc
my than the one we all combined to par
| alyZe last year. namely. Tammany Hall.
