ARE. BETTER OFF HERE
Montana Troops Would Have to
Wait in San Francisco.
THERE IS MUCH DELAY
The Government Unprepared to Furnish
Observation-Disclosures and Span
iards in California Are All
for America.

Widen Pinkham arrived yesterday
from California. where he spent the
winter. He is much improved in health.
II see that the Montana boys are
anxious to get to San Francisco" said
Mr.. Pinkham. My advice To them Is
To be satisfied to stay right where
they are for the present until the gov
is ready to EQUIP them and
start them for the Philippines. San
Francisco is frightfully cold n wet at
present. The Presidio. where they
keep the troops. is just like Broadway
out here-several inches of mud. The
tToops are pouring I'm there and the ac-
c~ommodations are very limited. The
government is away behind in the task
of equipping the soldiers and IL will
be "a long time yet before all are start
ed for the Philippines. During the
delay the Montana regiment will find 1t
much p~leasanter to stay here rather
than to go to San Francisco and wait.
Il saw the big boats that are to
transport the troops. IT seems to be
slow work to get them in shape for the
voyage Two or three regiments can
be started in a few days, but the rest

weeks yet. There are not nearly trans

it is proposed to send across the ocean.
When you see il stated that the troops
are going to start tomorrow you can
make uD your mind that IL means a
week. The government is buying mu-
nitions and equipment as rapidly as
possible. but IL is a big task. They
bought 1000. 900 one-podnd cans of
roast beef in San Francisco In one day.
Some of the ships the government ex-
na.fna 10 nea for trangnnrtinO trnpnG
have not been taken, for the reason
that the owners have asked more for
the service than the ships are worth,
and IL weuld be cheaper for the gov
eminent to buy them.
Their is "A great deal of excitement
all through California. When the news
of Dewey's victory vas coming I'm IL
was impossible for me to get within a
half block of the bulletin boards of the
big papers at Market and Second
streets i'm San Francisco. Lots of Cali
fornia men are anxious to go to the
war, for the crops have been bad and
they are anxious to get something
to do.
Il spent most of the winter at Pa
cific Grove, Monterey. The population

nit any sentiment to be expressed

make a speech there. He is a native
of Spain. but he declared h a all

Demurrer and Hearing Set for the Same

fore Justice L~aurandeau at 5 o'clock
last evening on a charge of assault on
Attorney Miles Cavanaugh. Rogers APP

1T IS WAR TO THE KNIFE
The New Aldermen Have De-
clared It on the Mayor.
DIDN'T GET THEIR MEN IN
The Mayor Complied With Their Re-
quests in Part only-Trying to
Effect a Combination to De-
feat the Nominations.

In order properly to understand the
Warmth which ~pervades the city hall
lately on o of the mayors APP
pointments. 1t should be known that
ahe newly elected aldermen demanded
OF Mayor Harrington these things;
First-That each OF the new demo-
cratic aldermen SHOULD nave the nam
1ng of one new policeman.
Second-That Sergeant McGrath, In
epector OF Weights and Measures Do
rails and Sanitary Inspector WATSON
should not be reappointed on account
of the claim. made by the new alder
men. that they did not support the
democratic ticket at the recent NUM-
cipal election.
Now IL seems that the mayo partly
complied with these demands and rart-
~ he didn't comply with them worth a
cent There were FIVE new democratic
aldermen. Alderman Ferns of the FIRST
word n Alderman Medin OF the
Fourth ward waived their right TO
name a policeman. Alderman Britt Of
the Third ward named John O'Meara.
alderman Kelly of the Fifth ward
named John Curley and Alderman
Siebernaler of the Sixth ward named
Frank Call. 1t VAS also asked that
NJ. r. Torpey be appointed in behalf
Of the democratic city central 1oni1it-
Zee for services rendered.
The mayer appointed O'Mtara, as de-
sired by Britt. and he named CiIr,ey.
che man Kelly wanted. But he lid not
appoint S~iebernaler's man. iIor ga he
name Torpey, the man wanted by jack
Mclaughlin, chairman Of the demo-
cratic city central committee 20.
As To the second proposition, the
mayor partly complied with IL and
partly he didn't. Sergeant Mc,iraih.
whose scalp the new aldermen were
after. went To the war and thus got
himself out of the mess. The mayor
did not appoint Dorais. which pleased
the new aldermen. but he did appoint
Wesson, which displeased them. The
failure to comply with the demands in
full has brought about a state of war
between the mayor and some of the
new aldermen.
The mayor, however. has the best OF
fhe proposition. for IL his appointments
are not confirmed the old officials win
continue to hold office Just the same.

been made. but they have not been

good shape yesterday trying TO get tot

down the confirmation of the mayors
appointments. Blu IL they succeed no
satisfactory victory will be obtained,
for the old men will continue To hold
Office.
