Proprietors of the Oregon Gray
Stone May Garry the
Case Higher.
NEWS FROM THE BLAIRMORE.
Her Matches Were Taken Off and the
Work of Removing the Ballast
Has Begun.

The Harbor Commissioners decided
yesterday to rush work on the ferry depot.
Colusa stone will be used and the risk of
an appeal to the Supreme Court will be
run. When the contract was originally
let it was understood that Oregon gray
sandstone was to be used. The Commits
sioners later decided to use the California
stone and an injunction was sued out.
Judge Slack ruled in favor of the Commits
sioners, and now it is feared that an APP
peal will be taken to the Supreme Court.
The board held secret session yesterday,
and on the advice of TREY L. Ford it was
decided TO go ahead and risk the conse-
quences.
A great deal OF work has been done on
the iron frame of the building, and al
ready the north wing is assuming shape.
A dozen heavy Orders are in place and
before the week is ended large portion of
the concrete surface of the foundation will
be shaded by steel roof.
The launch Amy has just come off the
ways after a thorough overhauling. She
is now in splendid trim. and Henry Peter
son is willing to wager $500 that she can
outrun any gasoline launch in the bay.
The steam schooner Protection and the
tug Reliance returned from the wreck OF
the Colombia yesterday. Neither vessel
brought any wreckage.
Captain Burns expects to have the Blair
more up to-day. Yesterday the men were
at work shoveling out the ballast, and
good progress was made before the tide
came up and necessitated the battening
down of the matches again. At low water
this morning work will be resumed. and if
the wreckers' hopes are realized the vessel
will be on an even keel at noon.
So far none of the bodies of the drowned
sailors have been recovered and the
chances are that they are buried under
tons of debris. The divers are of the
opinion that the remains were washed out
of the hold and carried out to sea long
before the work of raising the vessel be-
gan.
The heavy fog that has prevailed along
the coast for the past few days has delayed
all kinds of shipping. Nothing has made
time outside of the tugboats, and they
come and 60 at will. Even the coasting
steamers have been behind time, and sail

SCHUETzEN LADIES' CLUB
The First Outing of a Thriving
Social 0rganiza-
ton.
A Boatload of Merry Makers Under
the Auspices of Committee
of Two Women.

The Tlburon boat leaving the foot of
Clay street at IL o'clock yesterday morn
ing, carried merry party of picknickers.
And the boat at 1885, and even as late as
$3.50 in the afternoon, supplemented the
party.
1t was the picnic day of the Schuetzen
Ladies Club at California Schuetzen Park.
The Schuetzen Ladies' Club is an off
shoot of an older organization that fell to
pieces some time ago of its own weight.
The new club is composed of the best ele-
ments of the old, the wives and daughters
and few of the sweethearts of the mem
bers of the California Schuetzen Verein.
The president of the club is Mrs. j.
Thode, the ce-president Mrs. c. Schaefer.
the secretary Mrs. d. Heise and the treas
urer Miss Nora CAIRNS.
The club has big membership of strictly
congenial spirits, and when 1T gives an
outing thoroughly enjoyable time to
every body who attends is thing certain.
The committee having charge OF yester-
DAYS affair was composed OF but two, Mrs.
Schaefer and Mrs. Joseph Crate. They
were quite equal to the occasion, however.
Schuetzen Park ran wild with merry
makers all day, bowling alley, shooting
range, dancing platform, merry go-round
and every other form of amusement being
in constant requisition. Excellent music
was provided. A number of the members
of the California SchuetZen VereIn were IN
attendance, and bevy of children.
A.banquet was spread in the dlning-hall
of the park at about $3.50 o'clock. The
return was made 10 the City at about
o'clock.
This was the first outing of the clut
and its success augurs well for frequent
renetitiOns

swindles. Mckinley is representative Of
corporations, but Bryan is an independent
man."
"Wowl VOW yelled the gallery,
whether in derision or assent it was hard
to say, and the other Commissioners sat
silent until his Honor had subsidized, and
then quietly voted down his motion to
postpone action.
President Dohrmann of the Merchants
Association suggested that officers be en-
ployed from the districts where they re-
side, plan that was favorably received
by the Commissioners. The association
was given week to send in 400 names
which the commission will consider while
selecting its election officers.
The Commissioners decided not to place
the selection of names in the hands of a
committee of three. but will put the re-
sponsibility on the shoulders of the clerks
in the Registration office.

scious on the floor. She was taken to the

Herman BendeI Elected to Succeed
President Dalton.
At the annual meeting yeste rday of the
San Francisco Fruit Exchange the follow
ing officers were elected for the ensuing
year: President, Herman Bendel; vice
president, ]. L. Wilson; treasurer, Abe
Rosenberg; directors-D. E. Allison, H.
Bendel, p. d. Code, w. A. Curtis, Frank
Dalton. A. G. Freeman, G. G. Kinsey, Abe
Rosenberg, J. L. Wilson. T. s. Taylor was
reelected as secretary by the board OF
directors.
President Dalton in retiring submitted
his annual report for the past year, in the
course of which he advises the adoption OF
some system that would bring members
together more frequently upon the floor
OF the exchange. The standards which
had been sent throughout the East he
said had educated Eastern buyers in
choice and fancy fruits. Beneficial results
had also been reported from the circular
sent out by the exchange TO the evapo-
rated apple people OF this coast, warning
them against watering their dried apples.
1--WE have been cropping in the dark for
many years." he concluded, land the
dried-fruit business has become of such
magnitude that it is necessary to educate
not only ourselves but every one con-
nected with the fruit business in modes,
manner and style OF doing business, and
it should be the duty of this exchange to
act in that capacity"

appointment of trustee to take charge of
certain property held in trust by the late
General William 81. Dimond for his son,

to 10 held in trust by Horace g. Platt, but
Mr.. Platt, some time before General
Dimond's death, resigned from the trustee
ship, which was assumed by the original
donor. Since General Dimond's death no

His Honor Hammered With His
Gavel and Demanded
His Rights.
NO CLERKS SELECTED AS YET.
The Merchants Association Invited
to Present Four Hundred
Names.

Mavor Sutro tried yesterday to turn the
meeting of the Board of Election Com
missioners into a red-hot ratification
meeting on Bryan's nomination, and sue
ceeded in doing so for few moments.
The several plans for selecting election
officers, including that of the Merchants
Association, were under consideration and
the Mayor asked until next Tuesday to
consider the matter, his request being OPP
posed by Commissioners Creswe1 and
Broderlck.
The opposition seemed to anger the
Mayor for he at once launched into a de-
nunciation of politicians and political in
trigue in general. emphasizing his remarks
with vigorous humping of his gayel on
the desk.
Commissioner Broderick tried to stem
the torrent of words with motion to ad-
iourn, but the Mayor would not be denied
and said that he would not put the
motion-that he knew his rights as chair
man of the commission, and that he pro-
posed to exercise his right of free speech.
Having swept the decks of the enemy, the
Mayor proceeded to pour hot shot into
their battered hulls.
1.-THE constitution of the United States, u
said his Honor, ''was the greatest boon
ever given to man; but things have
changed. The politicians, corporations
and trusts have got hold OF this Govern
ment, and / will say so as often as l want

chants and the middle classes2 They have

Registration at the City Hall Has
Passed Previous Figures.
The registration at the City Hall yester-
dav was 2879, as against 2798 for the pre-
vious day. The figures of yesterday ex-
coed that of any one day in the history of
the Registrars office.
The highest number ever registered In
any one day heretofore was 2506 on Octo-
Der 10, 1894. This was considered great
days work, but under the present system
as many as 5000 can be registered in one

1.-THE effect of the late war has been

and enterprise has doubled in the past
year. China has had an awakening which
will be of untold benefit to the world at

SLOW IN PAYING TAXES
1ers Behind in Their Dues to the
Government.

Chief Deputy Loupe says special-tax
payers are unusually slow this year. Half
of the thirty days grace allowed by cour-
tesy OF Collector Welburn has elapsed and
yet only about 20 per cent of the 1000
subject to taxation have appeared at the
Office.
Eat this rate" said Mr.. Loupe. mot
over 80 per cent will come in by August
l. This means that the unfortunates will
be compelled to pay a fine equal to one
half of the tax imposed"
Deputy Loupe will leave for Fresno to-
morrow morning TO make q survey of q
new distillery being erected by the Tenny
Canning Company. This will be the first
company to take advantage of the new
law allowing the making of brandy
