this plan a monster petition indorsed by

to A. a. Watkins, w. f. Dohrmanu,
Hugh Craig and General N. P Chipman,
the presidents OF the organizations men
toned:
SAN FRANCISCO, February %. 1897.
Dear Sir; The matter OF the new Postofice
for San Francisco is largely claiming the at
tention OF our citizens. No doubt before our
representatives leave Washington an effort
should be made.
You are invited to meeI with the presidents
of the Board of Trade of San Francisco, the
Merchants Association, the State Board OF
Trade and the Manufacturers and Producers
Association at the rooms of the last named at
80 P. NJ Friday, February 26, for the purpose
OF deyisiDg some plan TO carry out this object.
Yours very truly, JULIAN SoNNTAG.
As General Chipman of the State Board
OF Trade is now at his home at Red Bluff,
Mr.. Sonntag sent to him telegram ask
ing him to come down TO this City to-day.
]. A. Filcher, manager Of the State Board
of Trade, stated that General Chapman in
tended to come to San Francisco soon
upon other business, and that no doubt
the dispatch would hasten him on his
way.
'sThe reason for getting the several presi-
denis together al once is apparent" said
Mr.. Sonntag. The time that our Pacific
Coast representatives will remain at Wash
ington is uncertain, as they may leave the
capital Immediately upon the adjourn
ment in Congress. We want TO get the
matter in shape before they scatter, so
they may present it at Washington and
use all their power to get the work
started.
THE immediate plan is to bring these

mittee on Appropriations, who proposed
that recess should be taken from to s

bill shall then be taken up.
Hill objected to the latter clause OF the
proposition, remarking that it would be
better to finish up the Cuban matter.
Allison felt it necessary to yield and
rather regretfulIy withdrew the sugges-
tion as to the appropriation bill.
The House bill to amend the act as to
the appointment of receivers of National
banks was taken from the calendar and
passed without amendment; also the
House bill to better define and regulate
the rights of aliens to hold and own real
estate in the Territories ;ssalso the House

The expected contin uation of the Cuban
storm did not appear when the Senate

common consent bills were passed to al

and unwholesome tea and the discussion
OF the Indian bill was resumed.

bound, upheld the Governments scheme,
but many OF the Liberals declared that
Lord Sallsbpry's proposal would not have
the effect of settling the trouble.
They held that Greece would resist the
pressure brought against her. or If she did
not half of the Greek army of occupation
now in Crete would desert and join the
insurgents in their warfare against the

spread to the mainland, and, IN short
time, the whole of Macedonia would be

LONDON, ENG, Feb. 25.-There was a
large attendance of peers and visitors at
the opening of the sitting of the House OF
Lords this evening. Several peeresses
were present and a mum ber of bishops
other than those entitled to sit in the
House OF Lords, together with some men,
bers OF the House of Commons, looked on
from the galleries.
Soon after the House came to order
Lord Dunraven arose and made formal
request that the Government inform the
House as to the exact situation in Crete
and the Government negotiations with
The powers looking to settlement OF the
difficulties.
Lord Salisbury, upon rising to reply,
was tremendously cheered. and when the
cheering had subsidized he said that tele-

ended upon the various uses to which the

pended upon the various uses to which the
building is to be put.
IAN act of Congress passed IL 1887 re-
qured the purchase of site suitable for
Postoffice, courtrooms and other Federal
offices in the City of San Francisco. The
entire third floor is for the Federal
courts. The whole second floor is for the
offices of the Surveyor General, the Regis
ter and the Receiver of the Land Office,
the Pension Surgeon, the navy pay Office,
the Pension Agents office, and all other
Federal offices in San Francisco not con
nected Immediately with the Revenue
Department.
Under the new system of distribution
of mails nd the use OF street railway lines
for that purpose it will come to pass that
the least use OF the new building will be
for Postotfice service and the greatest use
for other Federal offices.
AT first only $780, O0J was appropriated
for the purchase OF site. This was found
inadequate and then $S00,00O was appro-
priated. Finally that was increased again
TO the sum of 81. 250 600. Then in 1892 the
present site, at Seventh and Mission
streets, was bought. 1t was the largest
and cheapest sight offered. We reported
on all the properties offered that came
within the instructions. There were seven
teen in all. We simply described them
each by their dimensions, the price asked
a square loot, and located them on a City
map already in possession of the Congress
sional committee showing the surface,
transportation, the car lines OF the City
and the centers of trade. The choice of
the site rested with the Congressional
committee and by it was made. But the
President Of the United States, the Ma
tional architect and the Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury had all seen the
property.
Because OF the courtrOoms to be in the
new building it was not desirable TO locate
it on Market street, on account of the
noise. 1t was thought best to have ic con-
Venient to but not fronting on that street.
The old building now occupied by the
postoffice and the so-called appraisers
building will be given up to the Custom
house and Internal Revenue offices as soon
as the new building shall have been COM
pleted.
my advice is for oCr commercial and
other public bodies and the press of San
Francisco that desire to bring influence to
bear for the prompt beginning OF this
work to proceed not along lines of accusa-
ton and tault-fnding.
THE only fault in the whole matter
heretofore has been in San Francisco, NOT
in Washington. It would be we'll to ac-

patch to the Sun from Havana says: The
estate of Juan Criollo, near Arroyo
Blanco. in the province of Santa Clara. is
becoming famous in the history of the
Cuban revolution.
Besides the great victory General Gomez
won there on February l over Colonel Ar
jona, the Cuban general has Just obtained
in the same place the most important sue
cess OF the Cuban army since the reyoIu-
tion began.
The last battle was very hotIv con-
tested and the battlefield extended to an.
other estate called La Reforma. adjoinino
Juan Criollo on the west. The battle
was fought six days ago and The
utmost efforts of the Spanish authorities
In Havana have been exerted to suppress

ton of the project along other lines than
accusation.
There has never been any unfavora bic
report about the ground. Professor David
son and Colonel Mendell made the first
borings and the committee of military en-
glneers made the second. When Mr..
Crouch, the Assistant Secretary OF the
Treasury, was out here, he went with me
TO the site and we saw the boring tests.
There is underlying this whole peninsula
a black stratum OF hard adobe mixed with
sand and in it are signs OF prehistoric
vegetation, but it is the hardest thing the
drill strikes except rock itself. When we
were there the drill brought up some of
that black stuff, and Mr.. Crouch and |
took samples of il. The next day the
newspaper accounts styled it a foul
smelling bog.
Mr.. Crouch remarked upon the evident
untruthfuness of these assertions. and
together we put our sample in the crate to-
see If it was peat, for then it would burn.
1t did burn, but it was into a hard brick.
and we sent the specimen on to Wash
ington.
"The first thing that is necessary to the
construction of the new building is, in my
judgment, for Congress to pass an act in
creaslng the available appropriation. II
is not wise policy to start several mii-
lion dollar building on a few hundred
thousand dollars available money. 1t is
poor economy 10 work by little bits and
cause expensive delays while waiting for
further appropriation.
"Our delegation in Congress should
work for an increase of the available ap-
propriation. Congress ought to appro-
pirate about $250,000 now instead of some
time later, and that together with the
S2lO,O0O at present available would be
sufficient sum to proceed with and pro-
ceed economically. The money has to
come some time, and nothing is gained by
issuing it in comparatively small sums.
IF this be done under the new admin
istration everything ought TO be ready by
the 1st OF July for excavation TO begin.
Then the Secretary OF the Treasury will,
feel, be ready 10 60 ahead provided some
San Francisco newspaper does not again
insist that the site is bog.
II received a letter to-day from the edi-
tor OF the American Architect in which he
says that the plan for the San Francisco
Federal building was submitted to a num-
Der OF Eastern architects of eminence and
was very highly approved by all of them.
This is contrary 10 the report that has
been given out here"
