They Will Go Into Effect on the
Steamers Within Ten
Days.
RAIL RATES NOT YET FIXED.
The Special Oregon Train to Be With
drawn-Freights Not Yet
Acted Upon.

Whoever wants to travel to Portland or
the existing low rates will have to do sc
| within the next ten days.
Peace, and presumably harmony, was re-
stored between the Southern Pacific Com
pany and the Oregon Railway and Navi
cation Company yesterday. and the i'm
mediate result is an advance in rates be.
tween San Francisco ard Portland, which
will go into effect on the steamship line on
the 21st inst. and probably on the same
date on the rail route.
General Manager E. Mcneil of the Ore.
gon Railway and Navigation Company ar,
rived in Portland few days ago, and
learning this fact Traffic Manager j. C,
Stubs of the Southern Pacific Company
wired him requesting an interview with a
view OF settling the rate war that has been
in progress for ten months past. McNeill
responded favorably and on Tuesday night
Mr.. Stubs. accompanied by H. r. judah,
assistant general passenger agent, and
William Sproule, assistant general freight
agent of the Southern Pacific Company.
proceeded to Portland to confer with Mr..
Mcneil.
The definite result of the conference
was the receipt yesterday of telegram by
+. +. Connor, the local agent of the Oregon
Railway and Navigation Company, in
forming him that steamer rates were to be
advanced from S. to $12 for frst-class fares
and from 81 so to Sc for second class.
These will go into effect on the steamer
Columbia, leaving Portland on the 2ist
INST, and on the State of California, leav-
here on the 22d. But two more steamers
will leave here under the war rates-one
on Sunday next and another on the 18th.
On the State, which leaves, here on Sun
day. every regular berth was taken on
Thursday, and tickets are now being sold
which provide sleeping accommodations
on the floor. Only ten or twelve of these,
however, are sold on any one steamer.
No word was received at the office oil
the railroad company yesterday as to
what rates would be put in under the new
deal, but it was stated that the special
train, which has been operated to leave on
the days when steamers departed, would
probably be taken off altogether, and the
present rates of $40 for first-ciass passage
and IS for second-class would in conse
quence be abolished. Under ante-wal
conditions the price of thirty-day first

cluded berths.
1t is stated that $40 first-class ticket
with five or ten days limit, will now be
placed on sale, and a $12 second-clas:
ticket. The $25 tickets will probably be
withdrawn. Mr.. judah is expected back
to-day and railroad rates will then be
definitely announced.
Thus far nothing has been done tc
change freight rates, but it is expected
that these win be advanced also as the
result of the Portland conferences.

T. A. BURNS UNDER FIRE
He Is Accused of Embezzling the Pay
of Several Restaurant
Walters

Two warrants, charging Thomas A.
Burns with felonious. embezzlement, were
sworn out yesterday in Police Court by
Manuel Fernandez and Anton Huber.
Burns is a produce merchant at 100 Sew
enth street. In May, 1895. Meyers restau-
rant on Ellis street, was attached by
creditors. Burns and two other creditors
were put in charge of the establishment
to represent all of theclaimants, it being
the understanding that they should keep
the place open at their own risk.
Burns took possession of the place, and
conducted it from one Wednesday to the
following Sunday. during which time he
furnished the supplies in his line at the
highest market prices. so it was asserted.
During that time Burns asserted that the
place had lost $500, and that the receipts
had amounted to only $780, Those inter
ested were not satisfied with this report.
claiming that each table realized from S25
to $50 a day and there were thirty six
tables.
On the Monday morning following the
creditors released the attachment, and
Meyers gave Burns bill of sale to the prop
ertv. The restaurant was subsequently
sold for $1100, the purchaser giving Burns
$791 and assuming the responsibility for a
crockery bill for the balance. He gave the
produce merchant check for the amount,
1t was the understanding that Burns
should use this money for the payment of
the hired help in the restaurant, they be-
ing the preferred creditors under the law.
Their claims amounted to $3.50. The COM
plainants in the criminal action state thai
Burns promised TO pay them at once.
That was on May %, 1896. but he neglected
to do, and on one occsion, when the res
taurant employees called at his house, there
was disturbance in which the police had
TO interfere.
From that time to the present the
Meyers insolvency case has been dragging
along In the court, but the. employees
have not received their money.
Fernandez and Huber decided that they
would not wait any longer, so they swore
to the complaints as stated. Fernandez
says that Burns owes him $160 ana Huber 8
claim is $5S. In all probability. about
twenty more employees claims of the same
character will be pressed in the Criminal
courts.

PREPARING TO CANVASS,
Committees Ready to Start
Raising Funds for the
Carnival.
Plans for Disposing of the Surplus
Expected to Survive the
Festivities.

The special committee appointed at the
meeting held at the Chamber of Commerce
Thursday, to further the interests of the
Carnival of the Golden Gate, met at the
Lick House yesterday afternoon. Nearly
every member was present. All came IRE.
pared to advocate the immediate work OF
raising funds. There was but little dis
cussion on the advisability of holding the
carnival and it was decided that the active
canvass should begin at once.
w. III. Mills and Henry ]. Crocker will
call upon II. E. Huntington, president
of the Southern Pacific Company, at 10
o'clock this morning TO ascertain how
much that company, as the largest rail-
invest in the carnival. The next place
they visit will be the street railway COM
panles represented in the Market-street
Railway Company. After this is visited
Mr.. Croker and Mr.. Haber will visit other
OF the transportation companies, the gas,
electric light and water companies. David
Rich will canvass the real estate men and
Colonel George Stone will visit the hotels
The committee will meet later in the
afternoon at place to be designated, and
from the confident tenor in which many
OF the members spoke about one half of
the amount needed will probably be
pledged tomorrow night. They base their
calculations upon promises made to
Others in the committee earlier in the
work, and since the matter received such
an impetus at the hands Of the Cham Der
of Commerce on Thursday they feel that
their ideas as regards the financial ques-
ton are not extravagaLt.
W. H. Mills was the author of a very
happy suggestion as to the surplus which
will undoubtedly remain after the features
of the carnival are carried out For
years. said Mr. Mills, 'tSan Francisco has
been handicapped in many ways by the

lack of proper building in which to hold
monster meetings, grand opera and large
musical affairs. No better disposition
could be made OF whatever remains after
TINS carnival than the formation OF fund
10 commence the erection of such struc-
ture, which would be not only credit to
San francisco, but would be the means OF
bringing thousands of people here.
The Christian Endeavor convention
has selected San Francisco for its conven-
ton next year. Some $4,000 people are
coming here, and 1t will be most
suspicious welcome if the managers OF the
Carnival of the Golden Gate this year Will
turn over sufficient surplus to enable the
people OF San Francisco to erect build
ing capable of accomm odating that many
persons" Mr.. Mills also elaborated upon
the idea that such meeting-place would
attract future political conventions, and
referred to the fact that San Francisco is
seriously handicapped by the lack of
building large enough to hold crowd
sufficiently large to make any enterprise
pay.
Invitations are being sent out to all or
ganized bodies in San Francisco notifying
them to elect a delegate who Will repre-
sent them in the formation of parades dur
ing carnival week. The idea expressed IN
the invitation by the committee is that all
societies having a specific object could be
represented by a float depicting this fea-
ture, for which a prize will be offered,
probably for the best idea, the handSomest
float, or such other features as the COM
mittee may decide on after they learn
what the societies propose to do. The
committee will exercise great care to pre-
vent the introduction of any floats into
the uarade that would be likely to cause
offense TO any part of the community.

His Honor Does Not Approve OF the
Private Contract Ordinance for
Street Work.

Mayor Sutro sent the ordinance reviy-
ing the private contract system OF doing

visors yesterday without his signature.
Inc Mayor contends that under the sys-
tenn OF public bids for street work the tax
payers get more for their money than
under the proposed law and that the or
oinanee is unjust in that it does away
with the safeguards thrown around the
interests of the citizens by previous regu-
latons.
