to The Presidency of the United

In Baxter the Republicans were
cut down from their normal plural

The weather was fine, in fact it
was genuine Republican weather,
until about 5 o'clock in the after

In Galena, Mckinley had only4
plurality, while in Empire City
Bryan had s. plurality.

The indications are that Ridge

NOT FEDERAL SERVANTS,
Clerks of United States Officials
Cannot Sue the Govern.
ment.
Must Look to District Attorneys and
Marsha1s for Pay for Their
Services.

The United States Court of Appeals yes
terday handed down an opinion affirming
the decision OF the lower court in the case
of John NJ. Mcdonald against The United
States Government. The complainant
was clerk in the United States Attorneys s
office for the district of Montana. He
sued the Government for $1237 for services
rendered in 1891, and on trial suit Sc
cured judgment for the amount claimed.
The Court of Appeals held that the lower
court had erred in allowing judgment for
the claimant, since he had performed no
services for the Government; that he was
employed by the District Attorney of
Montana and paid out of the fees and
emoluments of that office, and it was held
that person SO employed was not an en-
ploye of the Government.
The important point in the opinion is
the fact that 1t affects deputy clerks and
deputy marshals similarly employed, it
being contended that these officers are
not employees of the United States in the
sense that they can sustain an action
against the Government for their fees.
The decision was concurred in by
Judges Hawley and McKenna, but
Judge Gilbert dissented. The latter main
tanned that the question at issue did not
turn so much upon the point whether or
not Mcdonald was an employe of the
whether or not he had a contract ex-
press or implied, with the United States.
In his opinion the petitioner had a claim
upon the Government for service rendered
and the decision of the lower court should
he reversed

me are talking OF run on horseba ok to
the park some Sunday in the near future
Last year the club had yacht ride around
the bay which proved so enjoyable be-
cause of its novelty that the members have
been looking around for something equally
as new ever since. So last Sunday George
P. Wetmore, who is an ex-president of the
club and who owns several good saddle
horses invited two of his fellow-mem bers
L. A. Gritfiths and H. w. Spalding, out
for a ride with him and mounted them
upon his finest stock. The result was Just
what he expected. they were delighted
with the ride told all other members what
sport it is, and club run of the Bay City
Wheelmen on horseback seems now an
assured fact in the near future. 1t might
be added that Griffiths and Spalding are
expert horsemen as well as bicyclists, and
as this cannot be said of all the clubs
members, the ride should be productive of
| some very funny incidents.

her engines will be able to drive her at the
rate of eight knots an hour. She will be
thoroughly equipped with all the latest
appliances and Captain Knowles says she
will be one of the best vessels OF her kind
in the world.
The steamer Monticello lost a blade of
her propeller during her run to San Fran
cisco last Sunday. She struck project

make port under slow bell. Spreckels'
tug Active took her place on the run, but
the Monticello was able to leave on time
again yesterday afternoon.
1t is the general practice of all captains
of vessels coming to San Francisco to make
a report of their voyage to the Merchants
Exchange. All the masters gladly give
all the information in their possession,
and, in nearly every instance, have it writ
ten. There is one exception. That is Cap
tain Merriman of the barkentine Cleaner.
When his vessel brought him in last night
from the Columbi River he refused point
blank to make a report, and said it was
nobody's business buC his own. He was
formerly in the old Olive, and in those
days he was just as discourteous as he has
shown himself to be since he took the

THEIR FIRST EXCURSION,
Firemen Are Preparing for Their
Regular Summer Vaca.
ton.
The Delay of Supervisors in Making
an Appropriation Retarded
the Outing.

At their next few meetings the Fire
Commissioners will have their time taken
up with applications for leaves of absence,
presented by the permanent employees of
the department. The fire laddies have
been in consultation for some weeks trying
to settle on their respective vacations so as
not to leave the department all at once.
This is the first time since the last Legis-
lature passed an act granting each fireman
in the State furlough for mot more than
fifteen days" that the subject has been
given much attention. The principal rea-
son for this is given by Chief Sullivan, who
spoke yesterday to CALL reporter in the
premises.
when the Legisla ture passed the bill, -
he said, "lt took some time for the Boards
OF Supervisors throug hout the State to
settle on the appropriation to be made to
pay the extra men or substitutes TO replace
the regulars.
''In this county $15, 900 was asked for, bu,
it was cut down to $4,000, which is not
sufficient as the matter stands. You see,
there are in the neighborhood of 140 regu-
lar men from bottom to top in the depart
ment. Their salaries average about $lO5
per month, not counting the engineers,
who get $40 per month. But, however, if
the appropriation is not sufficient to allow
each man fifteen days vacation We will
have to take less.
II believe this rest is a. useful thing, es-
pecially for the men who work in the
downtown districts year in and year ont
| thirty days each month and on watch
quite often twenty-four hours in the day.
THE reason the men have heretofore
not availed themselves of the opportunity
for rest is that the Board of Supervisors
| did not make the appropriation until the
Sd of last September when it was too late
to get out in the country. But this year ]
expect all nv boys to get their furlough
They will come back so much better fol
| their outing
