CHARGES UNFOUNDED.
A Discharged EmplOye Endeavors to

ing superintendent Flint.

A Discharged EmplOye Endeavors to
Rake Up an Old Scandal Concern
ing superintendent Flint.
The sensational charges against Super
intendent Flint published in 8 morning
paper on Thursday last, alleging immoral
conduct, appear to be simply rehash of
the accusations of year ago. Mr.. Flint
was formally tried on these charges and
fully exonerated.
John Lewis, the man who now protests
against the superintendent of the railway
N all service. was discharged about six
weeks ago for drunkenness. The order
for bis dismissal came from Washington,
however.
After Lewis had been out some time he
called at Mr.. Flint's Office and requested
his assistance in securing a pass or reduced
rate for Mrs. Lewis to her home in the
East. The superintendent brought his
influence to bear on the railroad people,
with the result that Mrs. Lewis is now at
her home in Ohio.
81 don't care to discuss the matter" said
Superintendent Flint yesterday, because
Lewis is party not to be relied on. l
have done him good many favors since
he had the misfortune TO lose his situation,
but of that do not care to speak. Any
body who knows me vii! understand that
a charge of drunkenness, gambling or
vulgar language is without foundation in
fact. Hence any charge from Lewis, who
is well known, of the character named
must fall of it's own weight"
Advices from Washington received yes
terday were TO the effect that the charges
brought by Lewis would be ignored on the
ground that he was discharged for cause
and consequently is not credible person.

FOUND A NEW PETREL.
Return OF the Academy of Sciences Ex-
petition to the FarailOnes.

Return OF the Academy of Sciences Ex-
petition to the Farailones.
Leverett NJ. Loomis, curator of the de-
partment of ornithology of the Academy
OF Sciences, returned yesterday from a
ten days expedition to the Farallon
Islands, and announces that he has dis
covered new petrol and also a new
lizard. Both of these are of the greatest
Importance to science, particularly as
they were discovered where they were, as
it has long been supposed that there was
nothing new to be found there.
When Mr.. Loomis went TO the Farallones
1t was for the purpose of continuing his
work in the study of bird migration. In
this he was prevented by the dense fogs
that prevailed most of the time and so
turned his attention to other matters. He
was assisted IN his work by Arthur Bolton
OF Berkeley.
1t has long been known that the ashy
petrol nested on the islands, but all the
birds heretofore taken have been of a uni
form color. The one that Mr.. LOOMS
found Is almost exactly like the Others,
except that it has a band of white across
the base CT the tail. This is not much in

His Soiourn in the South Has
Proved as Beneficial
as Expected.
NO soL1cITUDE WILL BE SPARED
Will Arrive Here on Special Train
This Morning for Medical
Treatment.

Stephen J. Field, Associate Justice OF
the Supreme Court of the United States,
has not derived ali the benefit that was
expected to result from stay at Paso Ro-
bles. In fact his condition has become
worse. So serious id it appear yesterday
that it was decided to remove him to this
City, where he will be able to secure the
medical assistance of the best physicians
According to reports received here yes
terday there has been no sudden change
in the aged jurist's condition. but he has
simply been steadily growing feebler.
1t was hoped that complete mental and
physical rest would bring him round, but
there nave been no signs of recuperation.
A special train was dispatched yester-
day morning to bring the invalid to this
City. Rooms have been prepared for him
at the Palace Hotel. The journey was not
begun until last night. The plan was to
permit Justice Field to travel at night,
while he is asleep, thus avoiding the dis
comforts of the heat of the daytime, and
at the same time permitting the journey
to be made with the least fatigue.
Special instructions have been issued by
the railroad company 10 its employees and
agents to spare no pains to render the
transportation OF the aSeu JuFlst rs easy
aspossible. OF course Mrs. Field will be
with the patient, but late bulletins from
Paso Robes state that the greatest alarm
was felt just prior to the departure of the
special. owing to the extreme weakness of
the veteran.
The vitality of Justice Field has always
been remarkable. Indeed, one old Cali
fornian friend of his remarked on hearing
the condition of his health, Field won't
die until he gets ready" The power of
his iron will, or, at any rate, the reputa-
ton of it, could hardly be more strongly
illustrated.
But by all accounts the iron will has
weakened or become benumbed by en-
croaching pain. The weakness of the
great Californian is continually insisted
upon in the dispatches from Paso Robes,
and it is evident that those in nearest
touch fear that the least untoward feature
of the trip might prove fatal in the judges
present debilitated condition..
The trip will be made in easy stages, and
should the special train arrive early this
morning, Justice Field will remain
aboard the sleeper until the hour is
most auspicious for his removal to the
hotel.

building and yards are in omparatively
good condition and it is thought that Miss
Manning, with her strong personal fol-
lowing, can soon build it up into a
big and fourishing school. Eight OF Miss
tanning teachers can go with her to the
Jefferson and the remaining nine will be
given places in the Whittier, Cleveland
ana Harrison primaries, in all of which
there are vacant ciassrooms.
MISS Manning, who is member OF the
century Club and the Pacific Coast
Woman's Press Association, began to
teach IN Chicago. In January, 1865, she
came to San Francisco and was chosen
principal OF the Paramount Primary. She
has presided successfully over her present
school since January, 1869.

itself, but ii is enough to indicate new
genus.
The lizards which Mr.. LOOMS found
are the only ones ever known to have been
taken on the islands along the California
coast. In appearance they are much like
the small batrachians SO plentiful in the
iresh-water pools in Mill Valley. But the
ones found on the Farallones were taken
long distance from fresh water and under
conditions foreign to the species.
The egg-gatherers were just about at
the end of their labors, and report the
poorest season ever known. The entire
harvest was only 5000 dozen, whereas four
years ago it was 10000 dozen.

1t will be seen that the increase over the
corresponding month of last year, letters
and papers combined, amounted to nearly
5000 900 pieces. The estimate for the fis-
cal year is based on the assumption that
there is 20 per cent heavier mail in Octo-
Der, Novem Der and December. For few
hundred clerks to handle half q billion
separate packages is no slight under
taking.
For the month of April, as will be seen
by reference to the table, nearly Sc, 900 600
letters and papers were handled, yet only
6l46 errors were made. Twenty-eight
pounds and five sacks were missent and
ten misdirected. These figures are slightly
in advance of the figures OF April, 1895, but
the advance may be accounted for by the
fact that nearly 5000, 600 more pieces were
handled

URGING REGISTRATION.
The Republican County Commit
tees Strong Appeal to Party
Voters

The Republican County Committee is
giving careful attention to the work of
registration and each days registration is
completely copied and deliberately filed
that the work OF canvassing the register
may oe done conveniently and expedi-
tiou sly.
The members of the committee and the
leading party workers generally are seeing
that full party registration is secured in
their districts. To stimulate the impor-
tant work of registration the County Com
mittee has sent out the following Circular
10 County Committeeman Members of Pen,,h.
hcan Committees, Officers and Members Of Re
publican Clubs and republicans Generally Of the
- Assembly Dtstrfct-GEHTLEMEN: We desire
to call your attention TO the very i'm portan /
fact that but few days remain for the reg
istration OF voters.
No one can vote unless his name appears on
the great register. The law of 1895 changed
the time for closing registration, which is less
than thirty days from day. We appeal to
you TO take note of this early date, August 3,
In the City and County of San Francisco. on
this date every one not registered loses his
vote
At the present time not much over IS per
cent OF the vote OF this City is regis tered. We
are sorry to say that the heavy Republican dis
trlcts are the most derelict. The most fnme-
diate and important duty of Republicans is not
only 10 register, but 10 see that every one of
their friends, neighbors and acquaintance are
also.
We appeal to you to us. every means in your
power 10 awaken al interest in the subject, so
that the careless and Indifferent may not I'M
intentionally lose their votes We urge Won
as good Republican, having the interest OF
your party and your country at heart, to exert
yourself in the matter.
Without registration we cannot have votes
without earnest cooperation on the part OF
yourself and all loyal Republicans we cannot
have registration, and without votes we cam
not win in November.
Again we urge you. in the interest of the
party ana the country. not TO pass this en-
treaty by without consideration and without
doing whatever lies in your power. Very re-
spectfully yours,
CHARLES w. MASwARING, Chairman.
JOHN JACKSON, Secretary.

HALF A BILLION LETTERS
Twelve Months Record of the
Eighth Division Railway
Mail Service.
An Almost incredible Amount of Mail
Matter Handled BY Unc,e
Sans Clerks.

During the fiscal year ended June 80,
over half billion letters and papers were
handled by the railway postal clerks in
Superintendent Flint's division. This does
not include any part OF the local mail.
The eighth division embraces California,
Alaska, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Oregon,
Washington and Idaho.
The estimate given above is based on the
figures for April which have just been COM
piled. Thew are as follows:

chiefly on buying by the Republican
