AUSTRALIA VS.
 CALIFORNIA International Boxing Bouts at the Olympic Club This
 Evening. Tho Ryan and Choynski Fight May Not Take Place,
 After All.

This evening the Olympic Club will hold a professional boxing tournament in its gymnasium on Post street, and Griffo, the clever Australian fighter. will meet F. Mcconnell of the San Francisco Ath- letic Club in a f1fteen-round bout, and Cocker Tweedie. also of Australia, will meet J. Lawlor of this city in a ten round contest; The first event. will be called at S:30 o'clock. Owing to the heavy expense attending these contests, a charge of H will be made for members. Tickets admitting non-members will be In all probability Phil Wand will be se- lected to referee the contests.
 The betting at Crowley & Raggetts s poolrooms last evening was slO to sS on Tweedie whipping Lawlor and Sl0 to v on Griffo getting a decision over Mcconnell.
 The general opinion is that the Austra- Hans will have walk-over. At any rate, the gamblers who bet on prize1ghts are who favor home talent are putting their coin on Lawlor and Mcconnell.
 A report was circulated yesterday that the Australians were not in condition, and that they would come out on the short end. but visit to the training quarters of tho men proved beyond any doubt that the foreisnerss we, were in tolerably good of pulling down the long end of the purses.
 Unless the managers of the Empire Club agree on d ulSpuleu pOIilt lO-udy IL IS extremely doubtful if the Ryan and Choynski fight will take place on the evening of the 10th inst Ryan has lost heart over the report concerning his im- promptu scrap with Lansing, and as a consequence he feels rather upset and may throw up the sponge to-day. The managers of the Empire Club will meet this afternoon and decide whether the match will be held according to an nouncement or be declared off, according to the wishes of those who had hereto fore taken very active interest in the clubs welfare.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 2, 1898.
 Hon. James D. Phelan. Mayor City and County of San Francisco-Dcar Sir Your let ter of yesterday reached this morning. In every effort has been made to adjust time tables not to conflict with the State law. and at the same time to give the public as efficient a service as practicable. The aver age speed of some of our electric lines is as low six miles per hour, ffty-two minutes being allowed on the Third and Kearny street line for making a of 1S-1ao miles On other lines the average speed varies according to the usual number of stops. the liability of any exceed seven miles and a fraction per hour.
 The time allowed on the Mission-streeet line. to which reference Is especially made, has never been less than the time allowed upon the Valencia-street cable line, which is prac- tically of the same length. Our motormen and conductors have been specially cautioned that they must not in any case under and cir cumstances exceed the statute rate of eight miles per hour. and we have a special force of officers known timers, whose duty 1t is to patrol our various lines watch the cars and report any infractions In case of any re- port of excessive speed, the employees at fault are cautioned, reprimanded suspended, as the facts in the case may seem to call for, while case has ever occurred in which an empoye has been in any way punished for fail- ing to make the schedule time.
 We have fully recognized the binding obli- gations of the law and have been governed by It. notwithstanding the fact that the law was adopted at a time when horse cars were the customary means of conveyance, and when a speed of eight miles per hour was the cus- tomary speed at which horses were permitted to travel.

Decided to Have Protec- tive Devices Put on
 All Their Cars.
If Opposed by Supervisors They Will Seek Aid From
 the Courts.
A WARNING WELL HEEDED
Hereafter Eight Miles an Hour Win Be the Limit on tho Mission
 Street Line.

A meeting of representatives of the Market Street and San Francisco and San Mateo Street Railway companies was held yesterday, at which a fender was adopted for use on their cars.
 The device Is one used in several of the largest cities of the Union.
 The lenders will be attached as rap idly as possible, and if any opposition is made by the Supervisors the com- panies will appeal to the courts for jus tice and protection.
 The letter of warning sent by Mayor Phelan on Tuesday to E. P. Vining, man. ager of the Market-street Railway Com pany, has already borne fruit. Mayor Phelan called attention to the fact that the law was being disregarded by the company, particularly on the Mission street electric line, where the cars have been travelling at the rate of twelve miles an hour, whereas the legal limit is eight miles an hour. The company was notified by the Mayor that unless the schedule was so modified that the cars would be run within the legal limit proceeding would be at once commenced to compel 1t to do so.
 A few hours after the receipt of the Mayors letter a new schedule was pre- pared and the announcement made that any violation of 1t would mean discharge to the offender. Under the new schedule the motormen are not allowed to attain speed greater than eight miles an hour and under no circumstances will they be excused for attempting, by violation of the law, ito make up time.'
 The new rule went Into effect yesterday and 1t Is said that 1t will be kept in op- vide lenders to give some slight protec- ton to the travelling public.

Those Who Ordered the Furnitur
Must Pay.
NO OTHER MEMBER LIABLE
JUDGE CHERRY DIRECTS JUDO
MENT ENTERED ACCORDINGLY
Twelve Defendants Found Liable For
the Amount, $5S3.25-Suit to Re-
cover Possession of 81, 900 Horse
Gases Argued In the Supreme
Court-Court Notes.

The suit of the Freed Furniture COM
pany against a number of members of the
p. o. S. of A, now defunct in the city.
came 10 a termination in Judge Cherry s
court yesterday with the result that the
trustees and other gentlemen who had di-
rect connection with the purchase OF the
furniture will have to pay the bill, which
foots M to S5o3.29.
The case was of more than ordinary
interest from the fact that many similar
organizations which are not Incorporated
Were watching the results. The oefenSe
relied chiefly on the fact that the order
was not incorporated and claimed that
only the parties VINO bought the furniture
or sanctioned the transaction at the time
could he held responsible. There were
something like 70 members of the order
when the furniture was purchased, the
board of trustees having power to act
III the matter, and they did so.
When the plaintiffs testimony was all
in the defense moved for non-Suit and
this was granted in so far as it related to
those of the defendants who Were not
directly connected with the deal. Judge
Cherry. in a lengthy opinion, held that no
other members of the order could be held
liable under the circumstances and there
fore the jury should bring in a verdict
against those who made the purchase.
The evidence adduced yesterday morn
ing showed that the following named gem
tlemen were parties to the purchase and
against whom judgment therefore was
rendered: A. W. Raybould, J. J. Greene

the writer says that Charlie Dull is

been smitten with sore boils. The fact
that Archie Mckay has gone to New
York TO recuperate is commented on
and the announcement of the depar-
ture of Billy Ritter for home is duly
chronicled.

writer declares that sanitary conditions

This trooper does not care whether
they are mustered out or sent to Cuba.
He declares he regards his duty the
same as he did when they were called,
but believes when a man wants to be
mustered out he should be and let that
settle it. But he does net think the
mountain troop should be made to suf-
fer for the organizations from the cit
les of the east.
He notes the fact that Captain Young
is still on detached duty at Pablo
Beach and adds the troop is flOurishing
under command of Lieutenant Burt,
who has demonstrated himself a good

The writer notes the fact that the
secretary of war had visited the camp
and saws "he made a minute inspection
of the Seventh corps in its widely scat
tered camps in one day. This shows his
remarkable capacity for work. He
reviewed us by moonlight. a new depar-
ture in tactics. but one which we are
expected to get used to-"
Nothing is known by any of the boys
as to what will be done with them, but
he believes they will go to Cuba after
all.
