General Gary Will Not Deviate From
Former Practices.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Post-
master-General Gary will continue the
old policy as to distributing patronage
of the Postoffices, and he announced to
the Associated Press to-day that he
would not deviate from the practice fol-
lowed by past Administrations.
This, as general rule, gives to every
Senator the privilege of recommending
a Postmaster for his home Postoffice,
and allots to each Republican Senator
the largest Postoffice in his district,
which, however in the case of a Sena-
tor not of the Republican faith, will go
to the Republican committee or other
referee. With these exceptions, the Re-
publican Representative are usually
permitted to name the Postmasters for
their respective districts.
In Democratic districts the selection
is left to a referee, or perhaps to a Re-
publican Congressional delegation, who
will have to keep themselves posted as
to the dates of expiration of terms Of
Postmasters, as the old custom
of the department of sending
notices to Senators and Representatives
of eXpirations of Postmasters' commits
sions, which was stopped by Postmas1
ter-General Bissell, will not be resumed.

This is the elimination of the finan-

years ago Wilson was considered a
millionaire. He crossed the plains with
the late D. 5. Terry, and has been
prominent in California politics for
more than twenty years. He repre-
scented this county in the Constitu-
tional Convention, and was at one time
a member OF the State Senate. A few
years ago, through business reverses,
he became involved in debt and mort
gagged the splendid property to the Cal
ifornia State Bank, and later. on being
compelled to have more money, he gave
a second mortgage 10 the German Saw

VALLEY RAILROAD.
The Terminus of the Road Will be at
Point Richmond.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 20.-Robert
Watt, Vice-President of the Valley Rail-
road, stated tonight that deeds placed
upon record during the day at Martinez
could now be accepted by the general
public as meaning that the long-talked
of valley road terminus would be es-
tablished on Point Richmond.
I'VE have secured the land for the
terminus, and will build there with all
possible rapidity.' said Mr.. Watt. oak
land stands some little chance now of
being made a terminus, if we ever con-
fine Point Richmond to freighting only.
Beyond that we have settled on Point
Richmond absolutely and finally, and
bought it with every intention of estab-
fishing there the terminus so long
planned for. 1t will be the terminus for
both the freighting and passenger traf-
FIGS for the present"
Six deeds were placed on record in the
Recorders office at Martinez, and, as
Mr.. Watt explains, they make it abso-
lutely certain that the Valley Railroad
will establish big freight depot there.
The railroad company has purchased
about fifty acres, including all of the
Point Richmond Peninusla and a strip
along the route to be followed in
reaching the point. There is deep wa
ter at Point Richmond and at compare
lively small expense the Valley Com
pany can have as good wheat-shipping
facilities as the Southern Pacific en-
joys at Port Costa and much nearer to
San Francisco. 1t appears to be the
intention Of the railroad management
to make a second Port Costa where the
railroad can handle freight. If it
pleases it can erect its shops there.
The establishment of terminus at
Point Richmond seems to be treated
by the company as something entirely
independent of a passenger terminus in
Oakland. Point Richmond is considered
a place of vantage to be gained whether
or not the line runs to that city. The
Point Richmond move is not hostile to
Oakland by any means.

is believed, became involved financially
and ended his life by shooting himself
in the head with a rifle. An additional

his leave on shore he was arrested
upon returning to his ship. The YER

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2O.-The
opening night of the three weeks OF in
door bicycle racing which is being held
at the Mechanics Pavilion was re-
markable success from every stand
point The races were superb and
marked by pretty finishes, which We're
the closest ever seen on the coast. The
track is a new one, and the Eastern
men who are here pronounce it the fin
est indoor track in the country.
Jay Eaton, the indoor king" from
Chicago, won the professional scratch
race after a remarkable sprint in
2:10 3-5. This race was paced by trip
let, and the introduction of triplet pac-
ing is another evidence of the safety of
the track. Eaton's work tonight was
remarkable but his defeat in the final
Of the five-mile race by w. E. Becker
of Minneapolis was clean and decisive,
the Minneapolis man sprinting home
three wheels length in front of Nc
Farland, who beat Eaton out by a
wheels length. Becker is the most re-
markable five-mile rider ever seen on
the coast, and the spectators went fair
ly wild with excitement when he sprint
ed away from his rivals in the last lap
CT the five-mile race, which was run in
the fairly good time of 11:25.
The amateur handicap was won by
James kenna of Oakland, who defeated
Ed Russ by four wheels length. These
two men are rivals for the amateur
championship of the coast, and at their
last meeting Russ administered a beat
ing to his opponent Both men started
from the scratch mark and finished

he was. Peery, in explaining why he
had said nothing about the matter be-

as a witness. The county obtained
judgment against Stofen and his bonds
men a few days ago. Peery's affidavit
