REGISTRATION BEGUN.
Men Received Their Certifi-
Gates Yesterday, John ID. spreckels
Being the Second,

The registration Office in the basement
of the City Hall opened for the first
time at o'clock yesterday morning, with
eight clerks ready, willing and anxious to
register prospective voters, but the ex-
pected rush did not materialize, and up to
80 yesterday afternoon four less than 100
men had given the necessary particulars
regarding themselv
The first man to present himself was
William Henry Rickard, secretary of the
Republican County Committee, who was
promptly registered. Within a minute of
the time Mr.. Rickard took the oath John
d. Spreckels had become qualified to vote
being the second to register. 1t happened
that both Mr.. Spreckels and Mr.. Rickard
were at the office to see that their watch
ers were on hand and doing their duty,
and thought they might as well register
and be done with it at once.
As there are still 159 days in which to
register, no rush is expected by the bureau
for the present at least. Extraordinary
precautions are being taken by the leaders
of the Republican party to prevent fraudu-
lent registration, and watchers will be
kept at the bureau every day until it closes.

HAMPER|NG The
VALLEY ROAD.
It's Progress Barred by
Trouble Over Rights
Of Way.
TRACK-LAYING STOPPED
Entrance of the Competing Line
Into Merced Delayed by Land
Complications.
PASSENGER COACHES ORDERED
It Is Expected to Have the Road Ready
for ALI Kinds of Traffic in
Four Months.
PASSENGER COACHES ORDERED

Owing to difficulties being placed in the
way of the Valley road securing the neces-
sary rights of way its entrance into Mer.
ced is being delayed ard its progress be-
tween Merced and Fresno retarded.
Track is now laid within two or three
miles OF the town of Merced, but a few in
dividual property-owners are barring its
entrance into the town, owing to the un-
reasonable demands made on the COM
pany. AS the matter stands it will prob
ably be ten days before Merced will be able
to celebrate the advent of the Southern
Pacific Company's competitor. All track
laying has been virtually suspended. Had
there been no interruption the road would
be completed into Merced by tomorrow.
Similar troubles are being experienced
between Merced and Fresno. To such an
extent is this the case that the force of
graders has been divided into eight gangs,
each empIo yed on a different section OF
the road, and this undesira BILE method of
working will have TO be continued until
all matters pertaining 10 right OF way are
satisfactorily settled.
Freight traffic on the road is not to be
undertaken before the middle of August,
at the earliest, and possibly not before
September l. Passenger business will not
be regularly carried on before October l.
At the last meeting of the directors six
Pullman day coaches were ordered from
the Pullman Company to be ready for
delivery at Chicago within ninety days.
At the same meeting there were also
ordered eight cabooses and two combina-
tion baggage and passenger cars. The
last named are to be used as smokers.
While the road itself will be ready for
freight business between Stockton and
Ixrif CHI II will ha
begun earlier than as stated owing to the
lack of engines. The seven ordered about
a month ago, which include four freight
and three passenger locomotives, will not
be here until about the middle of August.
Lumber is now being hauled for ware
house to be built just south of the
Tuolumne, and another warehouse will be
put up shortly about half way between the
Tuolumne and Merced. The latter is now
in course of removal by the Grange Com
pany from Montpelier on the Southern
Pacific road.

A Grand Opening Announced for Me-
mortal Day.
The new Presidio athletic grounds, at
Bay and Francisco streets, will be opened
on Nav 3o-Memorial day-with grand
series of attractions, of which baseball
game between the Pacific and Oriole
clubs, and balloon ascension will be the
principal events. On Sunday following a
game between the CALIFORNIA; and I'm
perial clubs will be played. The four clubs
constituting the City league have been
engaged for the season to play on Satur-
days and Sundays, with an occasional
Wednesday game thrown in. 1t is the
purpose of Manager Rockwell to afford
continuous round of amusements for the
especial benefit of lovers of outdoor sports,
and for this purpose there will be added
to the baseball equipment of the grounds
a ouarter-mile bicycle track, a track for
sprinting. a range for rifie-shooting, and,
eventually. a bowling alley. The grounds
are spacious. 600 By 400 feet in dimensions,
and afford ample room for the largest
crowds. The grand stand seats 1900 peo-
nle. and the bleachers will accommodate
5000 more. Under the grand stand will be
provided refreshment saloons and dress
ipg-rooms for the players, which are fitted
up with shower-baths and other necessary
conveniences. The grounds are we'll shell
tered from the winds and fog and are con-
yenient of access, being only two blocks
from the Union-street cable line, and ap-
preached by broad sidewalks. The mana
ger promises some startling features for
the opening day programme.

The character of the celebration will be
novel, as it is intended to surround the
recollections of Moore, not with the
flowers of his own exquisite fancy, but
with the choicest gems Of American song
and music.
Nothing has been left undone by the
Belfe-Moore Club toward insuring the sue
cess OF the celebration. An elegantly
printed programme entitled IAN Evening
With American Poets and Composers"
and including "An Address on Longfel-
low, by John McNaught" has already
been mailed to friends of the members.
On the evening of the celebration a
beautiful souvenir commemorative of
the event will be presented to each
member of the audience. Oliver Wendell
Holmes famous poem in eulogv of the
genius of Thomas Moore will be a leading
feature of this interesting souvenir. By
ron's tribute to the sweet bard of Ireland
will find place beside Holmes exquisite
lines. The little memento is a golden
harp with green background, and, as if
by special design, these poems that are in
themselves the laurels of genius, ah9ear
upon the space where the golden stYlngs
would make sweet melody. In one corner

The SIebe-Wallace Case.

Assessor Siebe appeared before Police
Judge Campbell yesterday morning with
Charles l.. Ackerman as his attorney. Mr.
Ackerman gave notice that this evening at
80 o'clock he would move the dismissal
of the perjury charge based upon Mr..
Siebe's assessment of Judge Wallace's
property. The attorney declared that he
would show that the arrest had been insti-
gated by malice and for the purpose of an
noying MIR. Siebe and Judge Wallace.
Assessor Siebe regards his arrest on the
charge of undertaking the personal prop
erty of Judge William T. Wallace as
trick or stroke of malice. The Assessor
said yesterday: "All assessments are made
alike. A personal property assessment
blank is delivered to every property-owner
in the city. He fills it in and makes the
following oath before me:
r. -, do swear that I am a resident
of the City and County of San Francisco that
the above list contains a true and correct state
ment OF all property subject TO taxation of
which or any firm of which am a member,
or any corporation, association or company of
which l am president, cashier. secretary or
managing agent, owned, claimed, possessed or
controlled at II o'clock NJ. on the first Mon
day in March last, and which is not already
assessed to me this year; and that have not
in any manner whatsoever transferred or dis
posed OF any property or placed any property
out ol Sdlu county, or possession, the
purpose of avoiding my assessment on the
same, or of making this statement and that
the debts therein stated as owing by me are
owing to bona fide residents of this State or to
firms or corporations doing business In this
State.
"When man takes oath as to the valua-
ton OF his property must accept it as
true. l cannot break into his house and
make an inventory of his possessions. If
/ am not satisfied l can cite him to appear
and undergo an examination as to his
property, but no man who understands
the nature of an oath will swear to false
statement and then confess he is per-
jurer TO save few dollars.
81 think my arrest" said Mr.. Siebe,
"was petty political trick inspired by
some one who wished to make it appear
by implication that Judge Wallace had
made false return of his (Wallaces) per-
sonal property. AS it could not benefit me
and could not work me an injury it must
have been aimed at the judge

lows:
AFTER LECTURE on MOORE
Shine SOFT ye trembling stars OF light
That strew the morning skies:
flushed in the silent dews Of night
The harp OF Erin lies.
What though er thousand years have past
OF poets, saints and kings
Her echoes only hear the last
That swept those golden strings.
Fling DER his mound, We starlit bowers,
The balmiest wreaths ye wear,
Whose breath has lent your earth-born flowers
Heavens own ambrosial air.
Breathe bird of night, thy softest tone,
BY shadowy grove and rill:
Thy song will soothe US while we own
That his was sweeter still.
Stay, pItying time, thy foot for him
Who gave thee swifter wings,
Nor let thy envious shadow dim
The light his glory filings
II In his cheek unholy blood
Burned for one youthful hour,
Twas but the flushing OF the Dud
That blooms a milk-white flower.
Take him, kind mother. to thy breast,
VINO loved thy name so we'll
And spread thy mantel DER his rest
Of rose and aspho iel
The barK that sailed the midnight sea-
The sea without a shore,
That waved its parting sign to thee
"a health to thee, Tom Moore 70
And thine long lingering on the strand,
Its bright-hued streamers fured,
Was loosed by age with trembling hand,
To seek the silent world.
Not slenti no, the radiant stars
Still singing as they shine.
Unheard through earth's imprisoning bars
Have voices sweet thine.
Wake, then. in happier realms above
The songs of by-gone years,
TIL angels learn those airs OF love
That ravished mortal earsI
