| within $50 feet of the line of that sea-
wall. Somebody will get killed If they
undertake to play any more monkey

stone, his fighting lieutenant, he said
why didn't you touch off some of that
dynamite just to show what We had on
hand for them.'
The sun was making a great red streak
IN the horizon across the Golden Gate as
the bloodless battle was brought to this
inglorious close. In the cleaning another
craft with steam up appeared in the cove.
1t was the launch Amy, and on board
were President +. l.. CoInon and Com
missioner Harvey of the Harbor Board.
The news of the uavS disasters was con-
veyed to them by Root. 1t was resolved
to withdraw the States piledrivers and
all the attacking force under the friendly
cover of the darkness. Commissioner
Harvey was appoint ted a com mittee of one
TO go ashore at that point and drive post
haste to the PLACE Hotel to report the
situation TO the Governor. and ascertain
from him what his further pleasure was
concerning the conduct of the com paHy.
The attacking deet theu put about for
the home run. Sadness and silence fell
upon the blue coated warriors ard Presi-
dent Coluon refuSed for 4 time 10 be COM
forted. Asked for his opinion on the
days doings, he replied that he was a
scruples against the unnecessary effusion
of blood. What chance, anyway, could a
number OF unarmed wharnngers have
when opposed by blood thirsty
gang of men armed with shot
guns2 Somebody would have teen
KILLED had Root proceeded to
extremities. What would then have been
said in disparagement of the Beard of
Harbor Comm issioners. No, ths board
had exhausted its powers in the matter.
1t was now for the Sheriff to take a
hand in the game. 1t was that officers
duty and rot chat of the Harbor Board to
enforce the DEGREES of the courts, and so
saying the humane president of the
Harbor Com mission changed the subject
and called attention to the glorious pano-
rama of bay snd shore which San Fran
cisco offered, as the lights on the hills
and the lights on the glistening waters
studded the darkness.
At the Clay-sireet wharf word was con-
veyed 10 President Colnon that Major
Harvey had te!ephoned from the Palace
Hotel for Colnon 10 keep all his forces on
hand. They were so kept until O'clock,
when orders were issued diSmissing them.
The Fair people were caught mapping
when the modification matter was before
Judge Hebbard in the morning, and none
OF the attorneys for that interest were
present. 1t was not uutll late in the
evening when they learned of the tactics
of their opponents, and then hs brains of
the legal lights who look after the inter-
ests Of the estate were put to work
They succeeded in checkmating the
forces of the State. and prevented them
from taking any fuither hostile action
looking to the overthrow of Warren & NAL
Iey's forces by getting an order from
Judge Hebbard setting aside the previous
order modifying the in junction and fixing
the hearing of the restraining order for
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. The
following is the order:
1t is hereby ordered that the order made and
filed herein this day modifying the temporary
injunction and restraining order issued herein
on October 10. 1897, is hereby set aside, and
the applica ION of the defendants for a mo di-
fcation OF said temporary injunction and
restraining order is set for hearing before this
court Department a, on the 18th day of Oc-
tober, 1897, at 10 o'ctotk A. NJ
J. [. B. HEBBARD Judge.
The action OF Mayor Phelan in appear
ing before Judge Hebbard and asking for
a modification of the restraining order
was criticized in strong terms by the ad-
herents of the Fair interests. Said one of
them last night:
Taking sides with the gas companv
does not speak well for the Mayor. The
company claims that the State owns The
water frontage thsre and if that is the
case there are no streets and the Mayor in
asking for modification of the restrain
ing ORDER is virtually siding in with the gas
CON pany and taking away from the civ
millions of dollars worth of property.
Judge Mckenna decided that the Leg.
lslature dedicated those streets to the city
in 1858 We claim that the streets belong
10 the city and that the blocks belong TO
us. Mayor Phelan appeared before Judge
Heobard 10 snow that the city wanted the
modification. That doesn't look as if he
was so very much Interested in the city,"
The rival forces may nowrest easily as
the court has taken the matter into his
hands.
