Reorganization Necessary 10 Salts

Reorganization Necessary 10 Salts
factory Progress.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-The COM
nittee, representing respectively the
Republican and Democratic sides of
the Senate, resumed their efforts today
to reach an agreement on basis of re-
organizing the Senate committees. The
Republicans have gone to work with
the serious intention of taking charge
of the committees, but they find that
in assuming this task there are many
delicate points TO be settled.
The tariff is giving the managing
committee and all the Republican SEN
ators more concern than any other
factor in the situation. 1t is doubtful
whether they would attempt to pro-
coed but for this bill. They fear, how
ever, that if they do not take the work
in hand the bill may be seriously de-
layed, some of the Democrats having
practically warned them that they viii
object to any further legislation of any
character until the committees shall
be filled. There is also a feeling on the
Republican side that any allotment
which might appear TO discriminate
invidiously against the Populists and
silver Republicans would imperil the
tariff bill by precipitating a wrangle
on the eve of its presentation to the
Senate.
At the conclusion of three hours
session OF the Republican committee,
Senator Mcmillan said that such salts
factory progress had been made as to
warrant the prediction that reOrgani-
cation would be accomplished.

ing here at the failure of the powers
attempts to coerce Greece. The block
ade of Piraeus seems as far off as ever.
and the war party is bringing pressure
to bear upon the Government, with
the result that the Porte has dis
patched circulars 10 its representatives
abroad setting forth that the Turks
are growing impatient at the prolong-
alton of the crisis, which is pressing
heavily upon the already embarrassed
exchequer of Turkey
The belief prevails here that the
powers are losing their hold over the
course of events. and that their so
called concert is a failure.
A new danger has arisen through the
circulation in Constantinople and the
provinces of a pamphlet announcing
alleged Christian atrocities on Mussul-
mans in Crete and elsewhere. This is
so infiaming the Turks against the
Greeks that the Grecian Minister has
drawn the attention of the Porte TO the
matter The Government has taken
the steps necessary TO prevent out
breaks upon the part of the populace.

Carriers VIII Deliver Mail ON
Bicycles.
OAKLAND, March 5.-The postoffice
at Fifteenth and Broadway will soon
be headquarters for the most cOnsid-
cradle and energetic cycling club in
the city, for the mail carriers are to
ride on wheels and thereby improve
the service.
The eGuipping with wheels of Oak
lands mail delivery service means
more than would appear at first. 1t
means possibly another collection and
distribution of mail matter each day,
and a consequent improvement of the
general service. The hours of each car
rier will be shortened, and he will be
supposed to make good time on his
machine.
1t is possible also that the territories
of the men will be extended, but this
does not mean q cutting down in the
service, rather an enlargement, as the
postmaster would then be enabled to
extend his routes and reach much fur
Their from the heart of the city.
The carriers in the down town dis
tricts will deliver mail on foot, as be-
fore The others will accustom them
selves to the machine and deliver their
mail with it's aid.

WASHINGTON. April 9.-Charles
s. Hamlin. ex-Assistant Secretary OF
the Treasury. who has been retained
by the Government as counsel to as
sist in the conduct of the negotiations
with Great Britain looking TO per-
manent settlement of the Boring Sea
sealing question. said today that his

Mr. HamIin will return to Boston to-
morrow to resume his law practice,
but he will come to Washington from
time to time for consultation with Mr..
Foster.
The sealing regulations under the
Paris award were put into operation In
1894 and were to run five years, or two
seasons longer. The apparent decrease
in the number of female seals during
the last two or three seasons has
reached such proportions that l. Is
feared two more seasons of indlscrlm-
mate slaughter by pelagic sealers Will
have practically destroyed the indus

sections of the State not served by river
transportation-yet we are of the opinion not
ested, but consumers as well, and not only
these, but those engaged in trade and the City
authorities, and that the law having been
passed, all parties in interest should aid by
any suggestion and information in aiding the
State Harbor Commissioners 10 the wisest I ex-
ercise OF the wide discretion with which they
are clothed.
5. To this end the secretary of this club is
directed to place at the disposal OF the Harbor
Commissioners the papers relating TO the mar
ket read at the last meeting o. the elIb.
z. We respectfully request the Harbor Com
missioners to immedIa tely take up the subject
by instructiug their engineer to submit ueh-
mite plan for erecting snch market as TIE
law contemDlates or in such other way ms they
may deem best.
g. In the opinion of this club all interests
involved should be formally represented be-
fore the Commissioners in connect on with
this matter, 10 the end that all facts be
brought out
g. We find that there is In existence a COM
mltlee created IL year since by fairly repre-
sentative convention of producers; that this
committee has held but one meeting and has
delegated its authority to one person, who de-
cliues longer to exercise it; We also find that
High and Grange, which began the active
movement, ana apparently others, desire this
cub to lead in the creation of a new commit
tee formally authorized to represent, as nearly
may be, all producers
10. That to this end the executive commit
tee of this club is directed TO take, and in
such measures as they may deem best for the
formation of committee having formal ere.
dentiaIs as representing the largest possible
mum Der of producers, and pending the forma-
ton of such committee that this committee
be authorized 10 represent this club in regard
to the free market.
From the remarks made by q number of
the gentlemen it was inferred that they
do not regard the Pscific-street wharf as
suitable location for a free market. 1t
was argued that il will take time to edu-
cate the people as TO their wants. If at
first it is a failure the people must not be
discouraged, but profit by the first mis-
takes. The place selected is not adapted
to the purposes of free market, but it is
start. A wharf, similar in its purpose
to the fisherman wharf, should be built
for free market In order to obtain
more knowledge upon this subject the fol-
lowing resolution was passed:
ResolUed, That in the meantime, as an aid In
suggesting rules and equations for the gov
ernment of the free market in this City,
the secretary of this club be instructed to cor
respond with the American Consuls and City
Clerks of he principal cities of the United
States and abroad as to the system pursued in
those cities.

A special meeting OF the San Franci,co
Farmers Club was held Monday evening
to consider the subject of the free market
that is to be es ablished on the water
front in the to be hoped near future. At
the last meeting a committee was an
pointed to examine papers read at that
gathering and to report on the same. The
committee consisted of E. +. Adams. T.
V. O'Brien, l. ]. Truman and E. H
Denicke. Last evening they presented the
annexed report:
Your committee to whom was referred the
papers relating to a free market read at the
last meeting OF the clubs have had the same
under consideration, and without discussion
at this time respectfully recommend the
adoption OF The Following resolutions which
express the conclusions which your commit
Zee has reached:
ResoEued, By the San Francisco Farmers
CLUB:
1. In the judgment of this club the only
waterfront market which would benefit the
people Of the State at large would be such a
market as Las always been urged by the advo-
adjacent TO which "all' per- sha bic products
shall as matter Of fact be delivered free Of
drayage, and in which methods of sale shall
be controlled by public authority.
2 We believe sucha market thus controlled
would be OF very great benefit to the public
3. We believe tnat the number OF persons
directly concerned in this trade ss produ ers
consumers, buyers or sellers 10 be lar greater
than those concerned in any other single
trade, and that this interest is therefore enti-
tied 10 first considera tion in the use of tn.
wafer front, next alter the passenger traffic,
nevertheless not to the extent OF impeding tue
use of the water front as a passageway for all
com m odities.
T. From our general knowledge of the facis
and such expert advice as we have been able
to obtain, we believe that such market as is
proposed can be provided upon the water
front, possibly with some rearrangement OF
the use Of the docks, but without serious in
jury to any interest.
D. While the proposed market has hitherto
been urged-namely, by producers in those

General Miles Tour.

Apparently, aside from the Queen's
jubilee. in which Gen. Nj les was a
prominent figure, and the great naval
review at Spithead the army of Aus
tria, in its equipment and discipline,
seems to have made the greatest i'm
preston upon the American soldier.
In particular, he says he was much i'm
pressed with the Mannlicher rifle, with
which the Austrian army is armed
He saw one of these guns that hs been
fired 40, 900 times and was still in good
condition. Compared with all other
rifles in use by the great military pow
ers of the world says Gen. Miles, in
his report to Secretary of War Alger,
this rifle holds high rank aud has
some advantages over all Others" Not
only does he deem the Mannlicher rifle
superior to the rifle in use in other
European armies, but he says the Aus
trian government is now constructing
rifle, the mechanism of which is kept
secret, which will possess features SUI
perior to any now in use. AS Austria,
from it's vicinity to the storm center of
EurOpe-the Balkaus-is most liable to
be plunged into war on short notice, it
will be seen that the government is pre-
pairing for emergencles.-Lett
