bate lasted for several hours and was
very spirited Judge Okey Johnson,

two vigorous speeches. Professors d.
ST. George, T. Brooks and W. I.
Wiley, OF the law school, favored ar
bitration. as did President Goodnight
and three ministers of town, and with
the exception Of lawyer Charles Good

speakers were for arbitration. At the
close Of the debate a standing vote was
taken on the question and resulted in

heavy mass turns, and the iron structure
which the Confederate tars on the Merri-
mac called cbeese-box when they first
sighted the original monitor coming at
them, swung around.
The motion was slow on the first revolu-
ton, but after the machinery got linn bered
up it whirIed easily and swiftly with its
own great weight ana that of the two big
15-inchers.
Lieutenant Roper trained the guns on
the Philadelphia and then on his own
vessel and seemed to enjoy handling the
old-fashioned war toy.
Turn on the steam again, Read" he
yelled to his brother officer after short
pause, land let US give her another whirl.
l haven't had so much fun for years. It's
good as erry-go-round.' Get aboard
and let's have another ride"
So Engineer Reed opened the throttle
again and the lieutenant swung the turret,
himself and his passenger through all the
points of the compass.
Later in the afternoon Lieutenant-Com-
nader Turner and a number of the officers
and men of the Naval Reserve came
aboard. They were formed into crews LOT
the two great guns and instructed in ord
nance by Lieutenant A. NJ. Beecher of the
Monadnock. The young fellows went
through the drill of loading, running out
the pieces, firing, sponging, reloading and
training the guns of the revolving tur-
ret with al the serious make believe" of
battle.
Down in the wardroom Lieutenant Tur-
ner entertained the officers and newspaper
men at lunch and questioned Lieutenant
Roper upon the remaining warlike posi-
bilities of the old monitor.
Keeping the men aboard of the vessel
as much as possible said the lieutenant,
twill make them thoroughly acquainted
with the monitor and their general ship
duties. l was talking with your signal
quartermaster when l first came aboard
and 1 found that he knew more about the
Camanche than / did and gave me deal
of information. This craft is not by any
means useless old hulk, for her machin-
cry is in good condition and she affords an
excellent drilling-place for the battalion.
Those two guns could be used at clos e
range with considerable efficiency.

speed in every line, while the Monadnock
is the symbol of strength. The Camanche
shows old age and decrepitude in every
part, but nevertheless she is built of the
material that will stand repairing. and at
a pinch the old boat could be fixed up and
put in condition to fire another gun for
her country. Yesterday the three war
ships presented q remarkably handsome
appearance as the boats carrying the mem
bers of the N avail Battalion passed to and
from the Camancne.
The ferry steamer Sausalito had another
narrow escape yesterday. One of the
buckets in her starboard paddle broke on
the early morning trip and the noise it
made in striking the paddle-box with each
revolution caused considerable consterna-
ton among the passengers. The steamer
was stopped and damages repaired. but
not before the tide had carried tile Sausa-
Ito dangerously close to Arch Rock.
Several attempts have been made by the
Chamber of Commerce to get this menace
to navigation blown up, but Congress has
always refused TO appropriate the money.
The Mail Company's City of Peking and
the Oceanic Company's Australia both left
for Honolulu yesterday. The Australia
had a five hours start. but the engineers
on the Picking say they will beat her into
port and left the dock yesterday prepared
to push their vessel for all she is worth.
The Australia was not in very good trim

Steam has taken the place OF sail and
wooden hulls have turned to steel while
her own has gathered the shellclad narna-
Gle and the saline vege tation Of the sea.
Yesterday her long stationary turret
wheeled on its pivot and her guns saw out
through their narrow ports the Monad-
mock lying near. AS she was closing her
eyes twenty years ago at Mare Island they
were riveiing the new monitors great
metal ribs in place, and then she SUM
bered while ner young sister was growing
beam by beam and plate by plate. When
the Camanche awoke she saw the noble
white structure frownIng at her from OIL
the starboard beam. And the two great
l5-lnch guns ran their smooth muzzles out
of the turret and returned the irown. The
spirit of the fiery COS lives in the ancient
marine yet.
1t was Assistant Engineer Read of the
Monadnock, with a fireman and coal
HEAVIER, that stirred up the old fighter yes
terday. They turned some bay water into
an empty boiler, shoveled couple OF tons
of coal into three furnaces and soon the
steam was kissing in the auxiliary engine
and the great black funnel was smoking
like blockade runner. Then Lieutenant
j. NJ. Roper of the Monad nock took his
place in he turret and threw back the
revolving lever. There was an ominous
movement in the cylinders, a trembling
down in the machinery, grooming of the
great steel central shaft on which the

MADE A FNE-OAY WEEK.
Another Move for Retrench.
ment by the Railroad
Company.
Hours of Labor Reduced TO 0bviate
the Necessity of Laying Off
Any of the Men.

Another move in the direction of re-
trenchment was made by the Southern
Pacific Company yesterday in the issu-
ance of an order making working week
consist OF five days instead of the GUS
tomary six. Work has been slack for
some time past, as is usual during the
summer months. and it has been a ques-
ton of either laying some of the men off
or reducing the hours of labor. The lat
ter course was finally decided upon.
Hereafter, until further orders, Satur-
day as well as Sunday will be q day of
rest for the employees engaged in the shops
of the railroad company in this City, Sac
ramento, Oakland, Los Angeles and other
towns of the State in which are located
repair shops.
The new order of things went into
operation yesterday all over the State,
and affects in the neighborhood of 5000
men. large majority of whom are en-
ploved in Sacramento.
General Manager julius Kruttschnitt
had this to say regarding the situation:
1.-The new order will probably remain IN
effect during the summer months, when
the earnings of the men are small at best.
OF course there are exceptions provided in
the order, which practically refers to the
workshops proper. The general wear and
tear of rolling stock and locomotives will
necessitate keeping the repair and paint
departments going at both Oakland and
Sacramento as heretofore.
Manager Fillmore explained matters as
follows:
ssInstead OF laying off lot of men in
order to bring the expenses of the system
down to a reasonable figure, which would
no doubt have proved hardship to many
of the men who have large families, we
concluded to give all the men chance by
cutting out one day of the weeks labor.
In this way all our workmen will have q
chance to earn wages and the desired ends
will be accom- plished by the com pany.
There Will, however, be no change in the
hours of work"
