An Unusual Inducement.

Forty-eight years of commercial ac-
tivity. during a portion of which time
a business has been established and
developed whose reputation is world
wide, is the record made and held in
pleasing retrospection by Colonel A.
Andrews, proprietor of the Diamond
Palace" on Montgomery street. So
many years of continued effort are
most exacting, and surely they earn
a cessation of labor Colonel Andrews
has decided to positively retire from
business, and this determination is es-
pecially significant at the present sea-
son to those who may contemplate the
giving of suitable and acceptable pres
ents. The assurance by so reliable a
merchant as Colonel Andrews that he
will dispose of his stock of diamonds
for 80 per cent less than they can be
obtained from any other house in town
watches and jewelry for half less and
sterling-silver flatware for 80 cents
per ounce-can certainly be depended
upon.

Among shipmen and others whose
business affairs bring them into close
relation with the Deputy SURVEYOR of
the port the opinion is expressed with
out reserve that Mr.. Holmes is a ca
pable man who is familiar with the
duties of the position which he occu-
pies, and that the service would not be
improved by his removal.
John Rosenfeld's Sons are well
pleased with the management of Mr.
Holmes department of the SURVEYORS
office. In regard to the proposed re-
moval, they said: 1--WE, do not wish
to become involved in any political
controversy, but we have no fault to
find with Mr. Holmes. He performs
the duties of his position in a manner
highly acceptable to this firm and we
cannot see that any good would follow
his removal. So far as we know ship
pers and others doing business at the
Custom house are not desirous of a
change"
A. Chesebrough, of the house of Will
liams, Dimond & Co., speaks highly
of Mr.. Holmes ability and tact. "I
would prefer" said Mr.. Chesebrough
that you would talk with Mr.. Nor
row, who takes care of our business
at the Custom house. / am sure that
he entertains a high opinion of the
merits and judgment of the Deputy
surveyor. Speaking for myself / can
say that do not want to become in
Volved in any dispute concerning Fed
eral appointments, but l have never
heard any complaints against Mr..
Holmes. To the best of my knowledge
he gives complete satisfaction and is
held in high regard by the commercial
community

extensively engaged in the shipping
industry. Senator Perkins has writ
ten to several persons in this city that
he is aware of the fact that there is a
decided opposition to Mr.. st. John, as
he has received many kilograms and
letters requesting him to do all in his
power to have Holmes retained. He
dismisses the matter however, by say
ing that politics is politics." and con-
Guiding with the statement that it is a
rule of the department, sanctioned by
the president of the Civil Service Com
mission, that the Surveyor of the Port
has the right to select his own chief
deputy from names in the classified
civil service list. So there is no room
for any further battle on Holmes be-
half, save with the Surveyor, who will
take charge of affairs on the 1st day of
January, 1898.

Steamship Company speaks in the
highest terms of Deputy Surveyor
Holmes. He remarked: Mr.. Holmes
| administration of his department has
certainly given satisfaction to the
transportation men with whom he
comes in touch. He understands the
duties of his office and performs them
in manenr that causes little fric-
ton"
j. C. Stubbs, vice-president of the
Southern Pacific Company, referred to
the official records of his office and
found no complaint of any kind lodged
against the deputy Surveyor of the
Port, Holmes. Before asserting that
a change would be detrimental to the
service" said Mr.. Stubbs, Il would
prefer to consult our attorney, who has
charge of the business. of the Custom
house department. On general prin
ciples, l can say that there should be
no change when the methods of con-
Quoting the public service have been
adjusted to the satisfaction of the
commercial interests of the city. For
merly we had good many complaints
and there was a deal of friction be-
fore we were able to comply with all
the forms and regulations imposed by
the authorities at the Custom house.
Now everything is happily adjusted.
We know what they want us to do,
and we do it in the form desired by
the Federal officers. A change of Of
ficers might subject business men to
annoyance and cause needless fric-
tion.''
Though all would not speak, it is
we'll known in Federal and commercial
circles that the opinion of the ma
jority of the heavy shippers is that the
present chief deputy should not be re-
moved from his post. Among those
who hold this view may be named the
secretary of the Fulton Iron Works,
Captain Bennett of the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company and many others

'To the victor belong the
spOils," said Mrs. Spear last
evening, land it is my belief
and opinion that as my hus-
band has been appointed
Surveyor of the Port he
should be chief over all who
labor in that department of
the civil service. it is my
opinion that for a long time
past the powers have
stripped the Surveyor of his
due authority and have
ruled him instead of giving
him the authority to rule.
As my husband has been
duly appointed to the posi-
ton of Surveyor of the Port
it is evident that the ap.
pointing power believed him
capable of filling the posi-.
ton, and this being the case
why should not he appoint
his own deputy? That he
will appoint his own dep.
uty there is no doubt. and
Mr.. Chauncey St. John is nv

Iected by my husband as his
assistant. l have also been
acquainted with Mr.. St.

riOd of time and when the

gested l personally request
