the trip down from Stockton in four hours
and up in about four and half hours.
The operation of such a vessel has been
IN mind for some time. and should we
make the deal with the Valley road we
will hasten the construction OF this river
flyer.
"of course, we are greatly cesirous of
coming to an arrangement by which we
will cooperate with the Valley road in
competition with the Southern Pacific
Company. Such an arrangement would
give Us increased business, and then,
again, we are deeply interested in the ulti-
mate success of the road, both for the in
creased prosperity it will bring to the val
lev and because we are stockholders in the
company.
When the full feet of our vessels is In
service there will be two steamers daily
i've days in the week between Stockton
and San Francisco. On Saturday and
sunday only one vessel will be operated" :"

They see the prisoners as they pass in
nightly procession through that Office and
past their window. Only one of the three
station officers is on duty at any one time.
A prisoner being brought into the station,
this officer is at his post behind the desk
making his record of the case in the books.
The patrolmen who bring the prisoner in
generally do the rest. After the prisoner
is searched and the record made they do
with him as this officer directs.
1t is the arresting officer who neglects to
put the board flooring down when he
throws q helpless prisoner into the dark
cell whore the floor is covered with water.
1t is the arresting officer who, when the
drunk cells are filled, opens the door
and roughly tosses in new prisoner upon
the PROSTATE forms of the others, causing
them often TO rise up as riotous body
tearing at each other like wild animals and
requiring half dozen officers to quell the
disturbance. It was the arresting officer
who lifted young man off his feet and
threw him to the floor with such violence
the other night as to render him insen-
sible.
These officers in charge are doubtless
humane men-so are they all humane
men. They may have only Indifferent
knowledge of these Chief Crowley him
self was reported not long ago as saying
that he did not know of a gambling place
in operation in the City. 1t is quite pos
sibIe that these officers did not See these
things here spoken of, but others did
that is certain.
The station officer frequently goes up
stairs and the turnkey sits out in the next
room to read his paper and then things go
on that neither of them see. There is a
bucket of water hung so that it
may be reached by the prisoners
of two cells. When the occupants
| of one become offensive by reason

FINANCIAL.
STOCKS AND BONDS.

2W York, Dec. ZJ.-AltnOugn the
stock market today failed to display any
Improvement over the recent light
records Of business, stronger tone was
apparent, chiefly on covering of shorts.
There was a continued absence of COM
mission business and the rallies were in
spired by more cheerful advices in rela-
ton to the western bank situation, re-
ported easier trend to money in London.
In a few of the more active specialties
manipulation for q rise was evident and
a favorable influence also resulted from
moderate purchasing orders for foreign
account. Despite the heaviness of ex-
change, experts expressed conflicting
views as to the immediate movement of
that market. The point of uncertainty
is the amount of exchange that has
been boarded and the probable extent of
renewals of maturing loans in the
coming months. The preponderance of
opinion is, however in favor of lower
exchange rates. There was but little
news of Importance bearing on the mar
ket the action of the courts i'll granting
4 temporary injunction restraining the
payment of the Manhattan dividend not
being known in the street until after
the close of business. Business was eN-
tremely dull during the forenoon, but in
the afternoon came time OF ACTIVITY.
Tobacco left off at a net improvement
of 3-4c. Reading displayed heaviness
around noon on realizations, but "a de-
cline of about a point was subsequently
recovered.
The bond market displayed decided
strength in the prominent issues, but
among the usually neglected bonds some
declines occurred, including Atlantic and
Pacific As, 10 per cent; Louisville and
Nashville &c, 2 per cent, and Sciote Val
ley and New England As, 1 per cent.
The principal gains were Missouri, Kan
sas and Eastern tirsts, 2 per cent Inter
national and Great Northern firsts, l Il

mess of moment was reported.
