Gated at the district school and Mount

to change his vote, even at the personal
protest of Mckinley himself, has be-
come matter of history. He has been

Put on a New Line of Steamers.

STOCKTON, June 26-The report
has reached the steamboat men mere
and is confidently believed, that the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company
will soon put on a line Of fine steamers
between Stockton and San FRANCISCO
to compete against the traffic arrange
mept of the Valley road and the Cali
fornia. Navigation and Improvement
Company. There is little doubt OF the
truth of the report. Recently the
Southern Pacific has been selling tick
cts from Bay points by way OF the
Union Transportation Company's lines,
but to Compete fully it is found best to
have a line of boats of its own. Three
regular passenger steamers leave here
every evening for San Francisco Wen
loaded and carrying large lists of pas
sengers. The Southern PACING line
will make the fourth daily boat from
both ends of the line.
