SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 2S.-The rail-
road commissioners have decided not to
remain perpetually inert. They met to-
day and mapped out enough work to
keep them busily engaged for some
months if they carry out their present
intentions. In the first place they have
officially declared it to be their inten-
tion to inaugurate uniform system of
accounts which all transportation COM
panies within the state will be required
to observe. The idea was broached by
Commissioner Stanton after the other
members voted down his proposition
to proceed with the adjustment of
freight rates and passenger fares.
Commissioner Stanton also proposed
that the various transportation com
panies be compelled to comply with that
provision of the law which requires
them to publish and post in their sta
tions all their sclddules of rates and
fares. A motion to that effect was
adopted Legal advice will be obtained
to guide the board as to the methods to
be pursued.

termined to put into operation at the be-
ginning of the year. The tickets will
be good. over forty-two roads running
east and southeast from this city. ALI
the roads over which the tickets are
good are not members of the central
passenger committee, but all of them
have constituted Chairman Donald their
agent for the issue and control of the
mileage tickets.

he said: There is not the slightest foun-
dation for this statement, so far as I
know and believe. While the matter
has been only slightly discussed, yet
I have not observed any material diff

all the Republican members of the COM
mittee are in favor of going as far as
the Mckinley tariff did on that subject,

ceeded in wounding his slightly The

result of business disputes, of which the
shooting was the last chapter Harlow
says Carstens' hand was in his pocket,
and that he Harlow) fired in self-de-
fense. Carstens was not armed, how
ever, and the fears of his adversary in
that respect were groundless.
The shooting was witnessed by num-
ber of people and made an exciting
scene. Carstens was crossing the street
and did not see Harlow, who was on the
other side, until they were within 25
feet of one another. He halted and a
moment later Harlow called out to him
to stop, and at once began shooting. He
fired two shots, but the aim was bad
for he only succeeded in inflicting a slight
flesh wound in Carstens' right side under
the arm. The bullet struck a rib and
glanced off. Harlow was arrested.

LONDON. Dec. 24-The ZINES this
morning has an editorial in which it
counsels the Spaniards to maintain the
calm demeanor which they have thus
far displayed towards the United States.
Says the Times: They can afford to ig-
more the insolent menaces of the senate
committee, even If they are adopted by
both houses, because they are empty
menaces. The latest indications are
that the American people support Presi-

way or another, otherwise the time will
come when the Cameron resolution will
be adopted in substance by the president.

Representative Barrett of Massachu-

himself enrolled high among the freak
legislators by his recent bill providing
that members of the cabinet can be ta

sentatives. and that while serving in the
cabinet they shall still hold their seats
in congress, and in order that these
double -barreled guns so to say, do
not get rich too fast. the bill also pro-
vides that they shall receive only the
salaries of cabinet officials and render
congressional service gratis. Nobody
probably not even Mr.. Barrett himself,

come law.

A NEW GUNBOAT.
The Annapolis Launched With the Gus

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The gunboat
Annapolis, destined for services as a
practice cruiser for the United States
naval academy at Annapolis, was
launched at Elizabeth at 1890 a. m. The
Annapolis is a vessel entirely of new
type to our navy and of composite con-
struction, all framing being steel.
Planks of Georgia pine are worked in on
the frame below the water line, secured
by composition bolts in such manner as
to prevent galvanic action, then covered
with copper This will make the vessel
largely Independent of docking facilities
and economical in the use of fuel. An
other feature of the vessel that distin-
gulshes it from other naval ships is the
useful sail power in addition to steam.
1t is sister ship to the Vicksburg and
