THE GRADE TOO STEEP.
Some of the Property Want San
chez Street Hill Cut Down
Twenty Feet.

The property-owners in the neighbor-
hood of Sanchez street who wish a modifi-
cation of the established grade of that
street, where it crosses "Battle Mountain, -
held no meeting yesterday as expected,
but decided to defer action week until
they shall have advised themselves of the
law on the subject of the majority's rights
in matters of street Improvements.
Their claim is that the present official
grade is too steep to permit of the use of
that part of the street. What they would
like is a reduction Of the grade by per-
pendicular cut of about twenty feet at the
summit of the hill, but the property
owners on that particular part of the
street, having already made improvements
to conform to the established grade, are
opposed to any change that would result
in additional cost to themselves.
The Castro street grade made NUN Der
of years ago at the expense OF the prop
erty-owners two blocks on each side OF the
section of the street to be graded is cited
by some as o case in point while others
hold that the proposed change on Sanchez
street would not be an Improvement nearly
so far-reaching in the benefits to accrue TO
the landowners.
Sanchez street is west of Valencia about
a half mile and runs parallel with it. Its
over eighty feet wide and is one OF the
widest streets in the Eureka Valley, but
with the impossible hill it is not a contln-
nous thoroughfare

take on 1000 tons of coal before proceeding
to the Asiatic station, where the Olympia
will take the place of the Baltimore as
flagship. Irving NJ. Scott expected the
Olympia at Yokohama in September.
He was anxious that the Japanese
Cabinet should see the ship, which Mr..
Scott regards as one of the best of the new
American cruisers. Word comes from
Honolulu that Captain Read will take no
chances of cholera, but remain off shore
until the plague is subdued. Mr.. Scott
left Japan for San Francisco September rs
and should get home October II.
Admiral Beardslee has reported to the
department that the Olympia, finding
cholera at Honolulu, went to Lahina for
twenty days to make repairs to condenser
tubes.

THE SINGLE-TAX SOCIETY.
An Address by A. j. Gregg on the
"Basis of All fonopolies."

An Address by A. y. Gregg on the
"Basis of All Monopolies."
A. ]. Gregg of Oakland delivered an in
teresting address before the Single-ta
Society at the headquarters on O'Farrell
street last evening to an appreciative
audience.
The subject of Mr.. Gregg's address was
''The Basis of All Monopolies." Monopoly
in land, he held, was the basis OF all other
monopolies. Do away With that and all
other monopolies would surely fade away,
for they were all based upon it. The ques-
sion of interest, too, he said, was also
solved by the sowing of the land question.
Usury was wrong and could not exist but
for the monopolization OF natural advan-
tages. The operation of the single tax
would cure usury by the same natural law
which leads water to tiEd its level. No
man would need to pay usury when he
could apply his industry directly to the
land.
The money question, Mr.. Gregg said.
was of minor Importance Were land
values taxed to their full value the money
problem would quickly solve itself. All of
the economic evils of to-day, he said,
rested primarily upon the evil of land
mOnOpoly.

SUTRO'S BUSY SUNDAY,
He Made Ready to Transfer
the Affiliated Colleges
Site To-Day.
Believes the New Offices Created
by the Board of Health De-
Sirable but Illegal.

There were three subjects that interested
Mayor Sutro at his domicile on the cliffs
yesterday. One was the Affiliated Colleges,
another the tax levy and the third the ap-
pointment of certain health officials, for
which the Mayor says there is no money
in sight. Then Mrs. Mccain and others
came and helped drive away the mo-
notony.
Judge Wallace and Judge McKinstry
will meet with the Mayor at his Office at
noon to-day to see to the proper transfer
of the site south of the park given by Mr..
Sutro. Dr. r. Beverly Cole, who was
chairman of the committee on location,
will probably be with them. The Mayor
devoted a large part of yesterday to the
drafting of the necessary papers, to see
that they were suitably worded, Sunday
being about the only day he can find any
leisure to do anything outside of munich
pal business, he says.
Abiding to the tax levy he remarked:
l feel pretty confident that the Supreme
Court, if it has an opportunity, will sustain the
position have taken. The Supervisors think
they can brush the Mayor aside by adopting
resolutions instead of passing ordinances, but
l think when the matter comes to q judicial
determination they will find that such actions
fall short of legal countenance.
This tax levy is altogether too exorbitant.
Why, they want SO 600 900 to run this City
with. I'll warrant that can take q contract
to run the City on one per cent basis-S3, 900, :
O0O-and do il well. The idea of 81 55 levy,
and besides that revenues from other sources
licenses ete.-amounting to 81 800, 600. OF
course it is exorbitant. There is no sense or
reason about it.
And whatever the tax levy may be- what is
the constant result? No money; no money for
anything! Take these appointments of Milk
Inspector and Bacteriologist, which, believe,
are useful Offices to the community-but where
is the money to come from to pay them. 1t is
supposed that the Board of Supervisors is to
make the proper appropriations for the several
branches of the City's service, but if every de-
partment is going to roll up heavy expenses,
who is going to pay the bills, and where is the
money to come from? don't believe there is
any legal authority for these appointments. If
ligeEtly there would be plenty of money for
everything with our present revenue. AS it is
there is no money for anything.
James Keir Hardie, the English Social
ist, was a recent caller at the Mayor s
home and spent several hours with him.
"Mr. Hardie," said the Mayor, "says So
cialism is simply cooperation. If that is
so then I'm Socialist, for cooperation is
what we want.
81 see no reason why this City should
pay $1,000,000 year profit to the Spring
Valley Water Company for it's water, and
poor water at that, when we could have
our own water service and get good water
for much less cost"

1T WAS NOT DYNAMITE,
Bomb Reported to Have Been In
tended for DR.. Gibson the Prank
Of Children.

Another highly sensational story, the
outgrowth of the Durrant case, made its
appearance in the Chronicle yesterday, to
the effect that "a stick of dynamite, enough
to have rocked the structure to its founda-
tion," was thrown into the hallway of the
flat adjoining the one in which Rev. J.
George Gibson resides OH Valencia street,
at noon Saturday by crank, whose prob
able intention was to assassinate the pas
tor of Emmanuel Baptist Church, or his
private secretary, or perhaps both. Several
columns loaded and illustrated even,
were devoted to the article, in which
the awful dismay of the horror
stricken inmates of the house was
graphically described, and Daniel Arm
bruster was made the hero of the hour, it
having been he who answered ring of the
doorbell and saw hand intruded, from
which dropped to the floor with dull
thud the death-dealing internal engine.
He had picked it up himself, unable to
catch his breath with alarm, and after
frightening the women of the household
into Mysteries, had hurried to the Seven
teenth-street police station to report his
awful find. The story was emblemished
with all the narrowing details necessary to
the proper revelation Of the fendjsh plot

ALONG THE WATER FRONT.
The Sealing Schooner Rosie
Sparks Believed to Have
Gone Down.
THE ATOMS SMALL CATCH.
Passengers on the Barkentine w.
n. Dimond VIII Be Allowed to
Land To-Day.

The sealing schooner Alton, Morrison
master, arrived from Oonalaska yester-
day afternoon after a trip of eighteen
days. She left this port last December
and has been cruising around the japanese
coast and in Boring Sea. Seals are scarce
this year, and the Alton got only $50 for
the season.
SIN the Bering Sea- said the mate,
every American hunter must kill with
spear as the Indians do, while the British
subjects use guns and shoot ten seals while
we spear one"
Last April the Alton saw the sealer Rosie
Sparks about 800 miles off the Japan coast
in latitude SO degrees. Since then no vessel
has sighted her, and it is feared that she is
lost. She carried four OF five boats and
left this port shortly after the Alton. A
sail attached to a spar was seen some
months ago drifting near the Japanese
coast by the schooner E. 2. Moryin of
Victoria. 1t was torn from a vessel of
about forty or fifty tons burden, possibly
the Rosie Sparks.
The eleven passengers OF the barkentine
w. II. Dilnond, which arrived Saturday
night from Honolulu, did not land yester-
day, as they had expected, but will be al
lowed to do so to-day. The first mate says
that the cholera is abating on the island,
and is confined almost entirely to the ma
tives, only two white cases having been so
far reported. 1.-THE people have gotten
over their scare" said the mate. when
we left the daily average of deaths had de-
creased from eleven to four, and there had
been fitty-six deaths since the beginning OF
the epidemic"
The scow-schooner San Rafael ran afoul
of the schooner Prosper yesterday near
Meiggs wharf and tore away the latter 5
iibboom.
The Tivoli Company chartered the tug
Fearless for all day yesterday and steamed
about the bay up as far as Vallejo.
The ship Yosemite, after partly discharg-
ing her cargo at the Misslon-street wharf,
went to the Oakland City wharf yesterday.
At the Union Iron Works the ship Crofton
and left for Balfour's wharf, at Port Costa.
The ship Eurasia came from the Oakland
wharf to the wharf at the foot of Mission
street, and the steamer Umatilla moved
from the foot of Beale street to the Broad
way wharf.
The bark r. P. Rithet left in the after
noon for Honolulu. The bark Martha
Davis after being fumlgated at the Quar-
antlne station came alongside the bark
Olympia at the Unlon-street wharf. The
brig Geneva has gone to the Mission fats
to discharge part of her cargo of lum Der.
The Mackinaw, sister ship of the lost
Keweenaw, left yesterday from Oakland
bound for Tacoma, and the English ship
Macrihanish went for Port Costa. The
bark K. E. Wood goes to sea to day and
the barkentine G. c. Funk is expected
from Vallejo.
