THE OLD GUNS MUST co
Relics Have Been Ordered to Be
Removed From the
Preside.
Fort Point and Other Bait EN- IN is
Will Probab y B M.unted With
Moosrn Weapons.

Major Edward Field, Second Artillery,
q. S. A, whose official title is Artillery
Inspector of the Pacific Coast department,
has issued the instructions ordering the
dismounting of all the old guns at Fort
Point, the Presidio, Fort Mason and at
Lime Point.
Instructions reached here several days
ago from Washington, D. c., that these
old relics of the past be shipped on and
the railroad has been called upon to attend
to the transportation.
At Black Point there are seven eight
inch rifles. converted from the old ten
inch smooth bores, or as. B., as they are
called in military parlance. There are
also six fifteen-inch Rodman "S. B."
which have been in use nearly fifteen
years. They were used in practice last
week firing spherical proiectlles. The
latter have absolutely no penetration
when directed against armor-plate.
While nothing definite has been learned
from Washington it is presumed that the
dismounting of the obsolete guns is ordered
to make place for new bTeech-l loading,
rapid-fire guns, The 12-inch rifles were
sent out, four in number, some time ago,
but some forty more guns are needed. One
of the new rifles is located at Lime Point
and three on this side of the bay.
There are about twenty-five of the old
Parrot rifles around the earthworks at
Fort Mason; these will all have to be dis
mounted and sent away. They are all
muzzle-loaders and are absolutely OF no
use as engines of warfare, although they
have been handled considerably for prac-
tice shooting. They can only send blunt
headed projectile, and with but little ve-
locity.'
The engineers department has been re-
lieved of the duty of mounting the two 10
inch guns at Fort Point. General Graham
has ordered the work done by the men of
the Fifth Artillery under the supervision
OF Lieutenant Riley. These guns are to
be mounted on the new pattern disappear
ing carriages, a system never before util-
lied on this coast.

some extent taking hold OF our own peo-
pie, but not sufficiently to enable us TO
start right to do anything.
More than anything we need com
mercial marine. Once we were the q lory
OF the seas, but our greatness on the sea
mas long since departed. What is it
that made England the queen among
maritime nations? Not her navy. 1t is
her merchant marine, that is greater even
than her navy.
Look at San Francisco. She does not
DO over 2, or at the outside 2k, per cent
OF the trade of the Pacific ports. This City
ought to be one of the greatest commercial
cities OF the world. The position of San
francisco fits it to be. This is a great City
as 1t Is, but 1t is nothing like the business
place that the location warrants.
Take this country ever, and we spend
$15O,0O0000 a year for sending our goods
abroad in freights. We ought to carry
these goods in our own bottoms. l hope
the time is not far distant when we shall
begin in earnest to build up merchant
marine that will properly represent US.
1T Is needful that We again take our
position among the foremost of maritime
nations.''

VALLEY ROAD DEPOTS.
Four Additional Stations to Be Pro-
vided With Fine and Costly
Structures,

Although the Valley Road has ceased
for the present the work of extending its
tracks, owing to the obduracy of few
property owners in the town of Fresno,
work in the line of improvement is still
being carried on.
Bids have just been asked for the con-
struction of combination passenger and
freight depots at the stations of Elmwood,
La Grande, Geneva and Lankershim. Each
of these will cost between $4,000 and $1,000.
The plans are already drawn, and as soon
as the bids for the different structures
have been accepted they will be pushed to
completion with the greatest possible
celerity. The depots at Merced and Esca-
Ion are now we'll under way.
With these depots and the warehouses
now completed or in the course of con-
struction, the Valley Road will be in q
position to handle all the business that
may be offered TO it with expedition and
safety. Warehouses are now built or in
course of being built as follows: Two

and one each at Empire. Hughson, Elmira

Is the new charter feasible? Perhaps
this question forms the topic of more dis
cussion in local politics than any other
as evidenced by the number of letters to
the people anent the subject.
The chief point made by the opponents
OF the new charter is that it makes no
provision for e.ecting officers. The latest
on this point IS the following from Denis
Kearney, which speaks for itself:
To the Editor Of the San Francisco Call: Why
do these people who favor the adoption of the
new charter persist in telling US that it pro-
vides for the election of mayor every two
years when, as a matter of truth, it does no
such thing? There is not word Eor a line in
the charter about the election of Mayor nor
for that matter any other officer, except the
twelve Supervisors. True, the synopsis of the
eharteFthat is presented 10 the citizens and
circulated by the Merchants Association saws
on page II: "The Mayor is the chief execu-
tive officer OF San Francisco and is elected by
the people OF the entire City and County,"
But the charter prepared by the Freeholders
which suppose Is the one we are to vote for,
page 51 says: "Tne chief executive officer of
the City and County OF San Francisco shall be
designated the Mayor. He shall hold his office
for the period of two years." This is all the
charter has to say about the Mayor 1t doesn't
even specify what his qualifications shall be-
Now challenge any one or all of the men
who favor the adoption of this charter to point
out single line in all this large book that saws
the Mayor shall be elected. Page So, section 8,
states how q vacancy occurring in the office OF
Mayor shall be filed by the Supervisors In
the schedule, page 213, 1 find this language:
cat the first election TO be held for municipal
officers, provided under this charter, and at
each succeeding general election, all officers
designated by this charter shall be chosen"
etc. Now the only elective officers designated
by this charter are twelve Supervisors. Should
the people adopt it and the next Legislature
atify their action ii will take effect and be in
force next July. 1t will then be the organic
law OF this City. What next? Page 2l0, Sec
