WILL VOTE HIS STOCK,
Sydney V. Smith Says He Will
Do This at the Next.
Election.
THE RAILWAYS MAY UNITE.
Judge Angelotti Delivers Long and
Exhaustive Opinion in Favor
of Smith.
THE RAILWAYS MAY UNITE

The temporary injunction granted to
President Foster of the San Francisco and
North Pacific Railroad restraining Sydney
V. Smith, controlling stockholder, from
voting certain shares of the stock at the
next election, was dissolved by Judge An
gelotti yesterday at San Rafael.
1t was claimed that Mr.. Smith could not
vote these shares under the terms of con-
tract existing between the directors of the
road and himself.
In this contest for the control of the
road Judge Angelotti in long opinion re-
fused the applications both of the plaintiffs
and defendant for an injunction and left
the parties to their usual remedies.
The Judge held there was nothing
against public policy in the agreement un-
der consideration, but that any party might
at any time, except in cases of partner
ship, withdraw from such contracts unless
there was some question of estoppel. The
! court did not deem it necessary to exam
inc the testimony on that point, because
after all the contract was not one that
could be specifically enforced.
The plaintiffs might have other reme-
dies, but that was not for the court to de-
eide on the present application. No in
| junction was necessary, because if any
! party was aggrleved at the election a
remedy was provided by the statute for
testing its validity, which remedy was in
every way adequate.
The. decision was exhaustive and re-
viewed all the decisions given in similar
cases referring to the voting of stock by
agreement and making agreements against
public policy. The result of the opinion
created decided sensation.
A. w. Foster, president of the San Fran
cisco and North Pacific Railroad, said:
''The case now is reduced to it's original
basis before the temporary injunction was
| granted. Beyond this L have nothing at
present to say. Whatever is done is
purely legal. But every one can guess
what Will be done. l cannot say whether
we shall appeal or not. But the ouestIon
is now open for an appeal on both sides -
This is not my fight" said j. b. Stet-
son, president of the North Pacific Coast
Railroad. 81 have no interest in the
matter whatever"
! Sydney V. Smith was seen on the boat
last evening before leaving for San Rafael
II have not seen the decision (" said he
''but there is really nothing to saw abont
| it. The court has vacated the temporary
! restraining injunction, and this allows
me to vote my stock at the election next
| Tuesday. Even if the other side should
appeal to the Supreme court they couId not
| obtain any injunction that would prevent
me from voting at this election. OF conrse
what may transpire before the election :.
| year hence cannot easily be predicated
now. There Is no appeal for me to take
l did not commence the case. 7 will
simply vote my stock"

ANOTHER DELAY LIKELY,
The Complaint in the Matter of
the Ferry Depot Not Yet
Filed.
HARBOR OFFICIALS INDIGNANT.
Contractor Bateman Said to Be Sick
and Attorney Sullivan Is in
the East.
HARBOR OFFICIALS INDIGNANT.

The Harbor Commissioners held very
short session yesterday. President Colnon
and Commissioner Chad bourne wanted to
show Governor Budd the south end of the
water front and il consequence nothing
but routine work was taken up.
The Health Department wrote asking
that the Mason-street sewer be extended
beyond the seawall. The matter was re-
ferred to Chief Engineer Holmes and the
latter said that the work could not be done
unless the City would do its share. There
is yet block and half of City property
through which the sewer must be extended
before the State can step in. 'tAs soon as
that work is DONE" said Mr.. Holmes, II
have no doubt but what the Harhor Com
missioners will carry the sewer through to
the sea-
The Manufacturers and Producers AS
ISOLATION wrote asking the board to use
nothing but California made rope on State
tugs and dredgers. This matter was re-
ferred to Purchasing Agent Westlake. Tha
latter said that all the rope used by the
State on the water front was of California
make, except the big hawsers, which could
not be procured here. If it can be shown
that as good an article as what is now pur-
chased In the East can be made here the
Harbor Commissioners will use it, even if
1t does cost little more money.
The captain of the Italian ship Salvatore
Clampi, and Hobbs, Wall 81 Co., on behalf
OF the schooner American Girl, asked for
rebates on wharfage charges. 1t was held
by the Commissioners that in neither in
stance had the law been obeyed, so the re-
quests were refused.
The plans and specifications for the shed
TO be erected over Pacitic-street wharf were
presented by Chief Engineer Holmes and
| adopted and the bids ordered advertised
for. The shed will be 80 feet broad and
$50 feet long. In order to have it modern
in every respect the Chief Engineer in
tends having the north side open and the
south side closed by means of sliding
doors. In this way goods on the wharf
will be protected from the prevailing wind
storms.
The new ferry depot building is still
troubling the Harbor Com missioners.
Bateman Bros demand on the Board of
Examiners has been refused payment by
the Comptroller, but the contractors have
MADE no move toward carrying the matter
INTO the Supreme Court. With the test
case hanging fire it looks as though moth
ing would be done for months to come
Bateman Bros. explain the delay by say
Ing that J. c. Bateman, who has handled
the whole matter, is very sick, and that
their attorney, M. I. Sullivan, Is at present
In the East. Nevertheless the Commits
sloners are very much worried and they
would be very glad to see some movement
IN the direction of Supreme Court settle
ment.

Walla Walla arrived from Puget Sound
ports yesterday loaded down with general
merchandise. She has on board 80, 900
sacks of flour and 5000 cases of canned
goods, nearly all of which is for Mexican
and South American ports. The bulk of
the stuff will leave on the steamer William
cite Valley on the 2Sth inst, and the
remainder will go to South America via
Panama on the Pacific Mail Company's
steamers. The Wala Walla made quick
passage of fifty-eight hours from Victoria,
b. G. Captain Wallace Will resume COM
mand on the next voyage.
Commodore c. G.. Bruce has sold his fine
yacht. the Rover, and is now having plans
and specifications made fora fine schooner
which he expects will beat anything in
the bay. She will probably be ready by
next yachting season, and in that event
the commodore and his guests will have
many delightful cruise along the coast.
The Pacific Mail Company's San Juan
went out loaded to the gunwales, but with
out single passenger aboard She took
out lighter In tow, and presented an
overloaded appearance as she moved slow
ly along the front. There was neither doc.
tor nor baker on board, SO the crew will
have to depend on the cook for their bread
and on the captain for their medical at
tendance. At the last minute Captain
Pitts was found to be too ill to take the
vessel out, SO Chief Officer Grundel was
placed in command, and he will take the
San Juan to Panama and back.
The whaler Gayhead has completed her
fitting out and will sail on protracted
cruise in few days. She will first 90 to
Kodiak and Bristol Bay right whaling. If
the season Is not good there the vessel will
be headed for the Arctic. From there she
will go south after the sperm whale, and
thence westward to Guam, where she will
retit. Thence the voyage will be contin-
ued to Japan. and from there the second
years voyage will begin. 1t will be re-
petition OF the first, and Captain Foley is
confident that it will be success.
Three boys stole a 100-pound flask of
quicksilver from the Mail dock yesterday
and were making their way along Harri-
son street with it when Officer Bean of the
Harbor police noticed them. He jumped
into buggy and gave chase, bnt the lads
dropped their spoil and ran up Rincon
Hill. They made much better time than
the horse and were soon lost to sight
among the turns and twists of Essex
street. Bean brought the flask to the
Harbor police station, where it now awaits
an owner. 1t is marked f between two
white stripes which form the letter V.

A POTRERO SWINDLE.
Three Men Wanted by the Police for
Obtaining Money by False
Preteuses.

DIR. ]. A. Simpson of Solano street swore
out warrant yesterday for the arrest of
J. ]. Smith, "John Doe" and Richard
Roe on the charge of obtaining money
by false pretenses.
Last week Smith and two other men
called at DR.. Simpsons residence and rep
resented they were selling tickets for bail
in South Park Hall. the proceeds to be
given to 6. A. Allen, an employe of the
Western Sugar Refinery Company, who
had large family and had been disabled
from work. The doctors sympathies were
aroused and he bought two tickets at SO
cents each.
DR.. Simpson learned that large num-
Der OF tickets had been sold in the Potrero.
and he was very much annoyed and dis
gusted to find that he and the other pur-
chasers of tickets had been swindled.
Inquiry elected the fact that no person of
the name of G. a. Allen had been in the
employment of the Sugar Refinery Com
pany, and that there was no such hail as
South Park Hall. 1t was simply a scheme
concocted by the three men to get some
money.
The doctor said he knew Smith and that
he would be able to identify the other two
men.

tide of American patriotism and reached the con-
clusion that it is now or never with her If she
waits until November. 1896. before making a

Upder the pretext that the liberation of Ireland
was for the glory of the church the Pope could alb
solve them from all allegiance to their Govern
ment, and they would then be ready TO strike a
blow that would mean the death of civil liberty i'm
America. That Rome aims at the restora ion OF
the temporal power of the Pope is an indIsputable
fact: that the hundreds of thousands of Roman
lists armed and drilled in this country have not re-

Christ or support the American Government is a
self-evident proposition; that Rome must down

all thinkers: that Rome places more dependence
on bullets than ballots is proved by her appeal to
the sword at the Chicago convention.
France glories in being the eldest daughter of
the church. Rome depends upon her to reinstate
the Pope. For the last two OF three years she has
been coquetting with Russia, and now they have
formed allegiance that practically puts the key
