Strong Opposition to the California Deep
Water Harbor Project,


WASHINGTON, May 12.-The California
deep water harbor project was before the
senate most of yesterday. 1t is seldom
that local improvement arouses so much
feeling among senators, manifesting Itself
in debate of unusual animation and of
considerable personal feeling. Mr.. Berry,
of Arkansas, began the debate yesterday
declaring that this proposed expenditure
of three millions was against the public
interest," and is in the private interest Of
@. b. Huntington of the Southern Pa
ciflo. Senators Vest and Caffrey took the
ground that no appropriation should be
made at present. Mr.. Frye, Chairman of
the commerce committee replied to the
structures upon the proposition and vehe-
mently characterized the criticism of Mr.
Huntington as "savoring of the slogan of
the sand lots -
The session of the house was almost en-
tirely devoted to the consideration of Dis

PHILADELPHIA, May l2.-Lawyer Rotan
has concluded his examination of the mass
of papers and other material which muir
derer Holmes turned over to him on the
day of the execution, and states that he
found among them nothing of public in
terest. There was no will among the
papers, and absolutely no provision made
in them for Mrs. Pitezel. Most of the
papers were letters addressed to members
of his family, bidding them farewell, and
to various persons explaining points in
the cases against him.

sixty Pennsylvania Delegates Declare
Themselves For the senator.
WAsHINGToN, May l2.-Senator Quay has
with Characteristic promptuoss responded to
the assertion that twenty-seveu Of the Penn
sylvania delegates will desert him and vote
for Mckinley. The Senator has to-day re-
ceived kilograms from all of the Pennsyl-
vania delegates, with the result that sixty
declare themselves for him unequiyocally
from first to last. -Four only are against him,
as has been understood all the time.
Quays telegrams are all couched in terms
of emphatic loyalty. Their declarations are
sincere and manifestly come from the hearts
as well as the brains of the delegates. There
will be no detection in the Pennsylvania
delegation at the st. Louis convention. They
will stand by Quay until the last ballot
Senator Quay says; These telegrams
demonstrate the loyalty of my friends to me.
| have never been deceived by them, and
have always appreciated the strong support
given me. The story that l was to be be-
t1ayed should have carried with it its own
refutation, but the delegates themselves have
spoken, and l have nothing further to say"

Robert ZeiIe Sc ks to Secur Jud gment
for $4,000, Money Loaned.
Governor Sader of the State of Nevada
was made defendant in suit Instituted
yesterday in the Superior Court of this
State. The plaintiff is Robert Zeile, a re-
tired merchant residing in this City, who
sues to recover $4,000 on a promissory note.
Long before Nevada's present chief ex-
ecutive was in politics he was merchant
in the town of Eureka, New, when that
town enjoyed considerable more prosper
ity than at the present time. So well did
r. Sadler, merchant, stand in the CONNER
cial world at b found little difficulty in
securing cash loan from Robert Zeile in
the sum of $4,000. This was many years
ago, and a written promise to pay passed
into the hands of Zeile in exchange for 300
$40 pieces, and up TO date this is all that
he has to show for his trust and confidence
in the financial ability of Nevada former
Governor.
The original note was renewed in 1891,
and as the Governor has not been in the
State of California very often of late an
opportunity had to be awaited in order to
serve him with the proper papers. A few
DAYS ago Governor Sadler came to San
Francisco and Immediately Reinstein g.
Eisner, attorneys for Zeile, prepared the
necessary papers and filed them with the
County Clerk. When it came 10 serving
notice on the defendant, however. it was
found that he had left for home.
The reason for bringing the suit at this
time is to secure judo ment, in order that
the claim may not be outlawed.

the affidavit. He took but few sigma
lures himself, and properly swore that
they were genuine. He made statement
to the Grand Jury yesterday, and that
body at once requested the District Attor-
ney to move for dismissal of the indict-
ment against him.
The procuring of this petition marked
Mr.. Smiths advent into the political
arena. His zeal in assisting a friend
brought him sore trials, and obliged him
TO hire lawyers, attend court and give up
much of his valuable time to save himself
from serious consequences. He is out of
politics now and promises 10 stay out

MISSION STREET WRECK.
An Expressman's Wagon Run Into by
an Electric Car and Badly
Broken.


an Electric Car and Badly
Broken.
There was a collision and great crash
of glass at Twenty first and Mission
streets shortly after 10 clock yesterday
forenoon.
A large covered express-wagon drawn
By a pair of horses was moving along
Twenty-frst street going west with a
heavy load of window-glass for building
in the Mission district, and before 1t
crossed the car track on the eastern side
OF Mission street an electrician, No. 1924,
moving toward the City, bore down upon
it, and despite the efforts of the motor
man to check the speed of his car it struck
the wagon between the forward and hind
wheels and overturned it.
The driver of the wagon, who because
of the cover did not see the approaching
car, Jumped at the moment of impact,
reins in band and held on to his team,
which had become frightened and strug-
gled wildly to get away. Assistance soon
came, the animals were Quoted, un-
hitched and led away. The driver of the
team. whose name is Wilson, escaped I'M
hurt. The passengers on the car were
only shaken up and frightened.
The off forward wheel of the wagon
was snapped off at the axle, the body
forced off the springs and the load Of
glass very badly shattered.
The motorman declined 10 make any
statement in regard to the matter. The
debris was removed and traffic resumed.

NEW MAP OF THE CITY.
Grand Jury Regards 1t Incomplete,
and Will Adv Sc Against Pay
ment of $4,000.

The Supervisors engaged Charles S.
Tilton, City and County Surveyor, to make
map of the Pueblo.of San Francisco. 1t
was understood when the contract to pay
$40, 600 for the work was entered into, that
the new map should designate all the
recently plated additions, all the high
ways, by -ways, streets, lanes, alleys, places
and courts within the boundaries of the
metropolis. The main part Of the work
on the map has been done by ex-City and
County Surveyor William P. Humphreys
and associate engineers.
The Supervisors, it is said, are willing to
accept the map and pay the price stipu-
lated, but Mayor Sutro and his engineer,
Robert Munch are reported to be kicking
vigorously against official acceptance.
There are Two stores afioat concerning
the map, and the Grand Jury has heard
both. Yesterday the jury heard Messrs.
Tilton and Humphreys.
Mr.. Humphreys admitted that the map
might be made to contain designations
which it did not possess, but that it in
cluded everything which the contract
called for. 1t was easy enough to add
what had be- n omitted, and so correct
the map up to date, but the additional
work would be charged for.
In the course of the inquiry Messrs
Tilton and Humphreys disclosed the fact
that the City owns several lots to which
no right of ownership has been asserted
because the municipal authorities did not
know that the lots belonged to the City.
A prominent savings bank holds lot be-
longing 10 the City. Presumably some ad-
verse claimant years ago convinced the
bank managers that his title was. clear
and borrowed money from the bank by
mortgagng the land. The mortgage was
foreclosed and the land passed to the pos
session of the bank. Testimony was
given to the effect that the City has title
to West Mission Plaza lands.
Members of the Grand Jury were con-
WINGED that if resolute action were taken
upon the part of the municipal authori-
ties much valuable land reserved to the
City for public use could yet be saved
from the grasp of adverse claimants.
The witnesses failed 10 convince the jury
that the map was complete, and the up
shot of the investigation will probably be
a communication to the Board of Super
visors advising against official acceptance
of the map and payment of the money
until certain designations of piats, boule-
Yards, streets and highways are made.
Some time ago the Grand Jury indicted
]. F. Smith for making false affidavit
concerning the genuineness of signatures
attached to petition asking the Board of
Election Comm issioners to place Calvin B.
Ewing's name on the ticket as candidate
for State Senator.
Owing to some technicality the indict-
ment was set aside in Jud Wallace's
court. Subsequent investigation has
clearly demonstrated TO The jury the inno-
cence of ]. f. Smith. The fictitious names
were added TO the document by the inser-
ton of several pages after he had made
