MORE TELEGRAMS
SENT TO CONGRESS
Col. Suter Suddenly Leaves
His O. flee and Hurries
to Washington.
Little Hope That the Harbo,
Will Receive an Appropria.
tion This Session.
Senator White Also Asked TO Help in
Trying to Prevent Work
Stopping.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,

90S Broadway, Feb. IL.
The Board of Trade has not yet received
a reply from Mr.. Hilborn regarding its
proffer of help in connection with getting
the harbor appropriation included In the
pending bill.
In view Of the fact that the sundry civil
bill passed the House yesterday il is con-
sidered doubtful if anything can be done
at this session, as the present administra-
ZION is avowedly anxious to 60 out of
office leaving behind a record for economy
Surprise was expressed to-day when it
became known that Colonel Suter had
quietly departed for Washington. Some
members of the committee anxious to
secure his aid in preventing the stoppage
OF harbor work made the discovery that
the colonel had not been at his office for a
day or two and had gone to Washington.
Nothing could be learned definitely re-
gardlng the purport of his mission, but in
view OF the circumstances it is surmised
that he has been called by the War De-
partment to straighten out the tangIe
which has arisen over tine harbor matter.
AS 1t is known that Colonel Suter does
not favor the ideas advocated by DR.. Nc
Lean of Alameda it is hoped that his tes-
tlmony may have some weight in restor-
ing tne appropriations to the sundry civil
bill before 1T goes TO the Senate.
Yesterday afternoon the following tele-
gram was sent to Senator Perkins:
OAKLAND, Cal, Feb. Is.
Senator George C. Perkins. United States Senate,
Washington, D. c.: Failure to secure appro-
ptiaton and immediate continuance OF har-
Dor improvement will cause vital damage to
our commercial interests. Oakland depends
on your best effort. and trusts 1t will be sue
cessful. OAKLAND BOARD OF TRADE,

The cooperation of Senator White was
also sought in the following dispatch:

Although every effort is being made to
prevent such q disaster as the complete
cessation OF work on the harbor those

OF accomplishing anything till the next

The hasty marriage of Miss Effie Cam

more pleasantly even than was antici

deserted one day after their wedding, lie IS

sparring exhibition between Charles

from Minnesota. The fighters were billed
to box for q purse of $500, but it is more
than likely that the winner will count ties

Prior to the main event Billy Johns and
John Merchant of Livermore had a four
round set-Io. which. by The way, showed
their utter lack of knowledge of the manly
art. The exhibition pleased the crowd

Round 3-Turner hit Nicholas under the eye

Round 4-No blows struck.
Round 5-Turuer looked at Nicholas, and the
latter fell to the ground and was counted out
The crowd yelled fake and dispersed,

takers, and regretting the price of ad mis-
sion which they paid to see the affair.

The Alameda, California, Argus of
 March 26, 1897, contains the follow ing death notice: The death occurred at Fresno Tuesday of Jesse r. Sayre, a young man who had many friends m Alemeda, and formerly resided here. He was a nephew of George Fl. Payne, of E. h. Derby & Co, O., and a son of J. H. Sayre, for meFly in the employ of that firm here, but now chairman If the board of supervisors of Fresno. Deceased was a graduate of the Modesto High School, class of 'S7, and of the State University, class of '93, and sAs 26 years old at the time ot his death. He was a young man of great promise, having been ad- mitted to the bar and entered upon the practice of law. He was in Ala meds a great deal, especially during his college days. and had consider able circle of friends here. Con- sumption was the fatal disease which carried him of. The above an- nouneement while not unexpected to many in this city, is nevertheless one which is to be regretted. MT. Sayre was for some months a resi- dent of this city, and became well known as an agreeable and versatile young man. His many admirers in Prescott regret his untimsly death and the loss of such a companion able person.

 The early closing movement seems to be meeting with great favor on the part of merchants. There is no good reason why business can not be conducted on the ten or eleven hour a day system as we'll as any other business. It is simply habit some people have of waiting till the last minute, and if stores were kept open till midnight some would be found who would come around at the last minute to buy something. Business men, as we'll as their clerks, would be benefited by early closing.
