To the surprise of everybody on both
sides OF the estuary the Alameda Board OF
Trustees has broken the compromise
agreed upon between it and the Oakland
Board of Trade regarding the harbor i'm
provements.
The Trustees have forwarded docu-
ment to the Board of Trade of this city in
which at great length they set forth the
reasons why they wish to repudiate their
agreement of a week ago. Much surprise
was expressed at that time at the conces-
sions made by the Encinal City to Oak
land, and it was supposed that the terms
made by the Alameda committee were too
generous to suit the people of that city.
The suppositlon has proved true, and the

Power and Health Officer Mclean has

acceptable to this city, but now it cannot
be expected that any other overtures

as being offered in good faith. The re-

been postponed to the next meeting.
This peculiar action on the part of Ala
media has reopened the whole contro-

will be done till another Congress has met

power to act it is regarded as very peculiar

member of the Board of Trade said to-
day: This action on the part of Ala

arriving at compromise, and there is
nothing to do but to leave the entire
matter to the War Department and oi
