Celebrated Their Birtbdavs.

There was a small informal theatrical
banquet in this city last night. It was
due to the fact that Mr.. J. NJ. Hyde, or
Uncle ATilt" Hyde, as he is more com
monty known, at present manager Of
the pulse of Greater New York. -
struck town and met Manager L. NJ.
Crawford of the Crawford theater.
whom he has known for the past %
years. Mr.. Hyde was accompanied by
Mr.. f. J. Baker, press agent Of the
company, and while the two managers
talked over old times the press agent
struck up an acquaintance with the as
sOciate manager of the house, Mr.. o. T.
Crawford. In the course of the latter
conversation it was suddenly discovered
that yesterday was the birthday ami
versary Of both. The coincidence Of
birthdays, coupled with the renewal Of
old acquaintance, generated so much
good feelings that the party accom-
panied by several friends, repaired to a
hotel where an informal banquet was
served. Toasts were responded to by
both Mr. L. M. and Mr.. 0. T. Craw-
ford, and MT. HYDE and AGr. Baker.

Chicago Pcstof1cs Clerks VIII Protest
by Committee.

Chicago, Dec 21.-Postoffice clerks are
opposing the new rule which compels them
to wear uniforms while on duty in the
building. At their quarterly meeting yes
terday afternoon at the Great Northern
hotel the question was discussed and a
score of speakers heartily denounced the
rule in most vehement terms. 1t it is con-
tended that the clerks who are in the
building do not come into contact with
the public, and the wearing of a uniform
would not only be an expense to them,
but a useless formality.
At the close of the extended session a
committee of twelve was appointed to con-
fer with Postmaster Gordon on the sub
ject. and the motion to delegate menu erS
of the association to speak to the post
master was carried without a dissenting
voice.
The decision to compel the employees to
wear uniforms was sent to the Chicago
clerks recently and since has been the
absorbing topic of converse ton among the
employees. The rule has been held to be
degrading in a certain sense, and to cause
an amount of labor IN changing clothes
that is unnecessary.
The new classification bill was also I'M
der consideration It provides for a reg
ulatiOn of salaries among clerks as among
carriers The clerks maintain that
seniority of service should play some part
in the determination Of the salaries Of en-
plOyeS.

PATRONAGE OF THE JUDGEsHIP.
Judge Hughes had a lengthy conference
with Judge Waddill yesterday morning.
and the latter gentleman stated that for
the present, at least. ne would retain
those clerks in Office who had been APP
pointed by Judge Hughes-namely. the
clerks OF the District courts OF Rich
mond, Norfolk, and Alexandra. In ad-
dtion, the position carries with It the
patronage OF the minor officers OF these
courts. Judge Hughes made a special
plea to Judge Waddill on behalf OF Con-
rad" whose faithful service has won for
him a soft spot in the retiring Judges
heart. Conrad heard the announcement
Of mis- tenefaotor's retirement with dis

city yesterday ae went to him with tears
streaming down his face and said that
the Maine disaster was q very bad
thing for the country, but IL was az

Judge Hughes Will leave the city for
Norfolk this morning, and expects TO re-
turn next Thursday, at which time, pre-
sumably, the transfer Of power viii be
made.

SECRETARY SHERMAN ENERGIES.
He Thinks nu Indemnity VIII Ger
tainIy BE Demanded.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. February o.
Secretary Sherman spent some time at
the Capitol to-day. He talked freely with
senators concerning the situation in Ha-
bana, in view of the Maine disaster He
told them that no important addition 10
the information previously received had
reached the department for the past few
days, but stated that the situation was
being considered with the view Of having
a policy developed in case the naval court
now making an inquiry into the disaster
should find that It was not the result OF
an accident.
TO this he added the statement that he
thought an indemnity would certainly be
demanded. and that If it should be, a
good, round sum would be asked. What
that sum should be would. however, de-
peEd largely upon circumstances.
The Secretary did not think the Span
ish authorities had been aware of the
intentions Of any one who may have
caused the explosion but he advanced
the opinion that whether they were or
not the Spanish Government would be
liable for indemnity, if It were shown
that any Spaniard had caused it.

COMMISSIONERS ARE PATRIOTIC Golden Gate Park for Military Drills. PARADES ON THE ROADS TROOPS IN THE CITY's PLEAS
 URE GROUND. Full Use of the Main Driveway Up to 9 O'Clock 8. m.-Sjde
 Roads Are Freely
 Accorded.
TROOPS IN THE CITY'S PLEAS
 URE GROUND.

The volunteer troops Tn camp at Richmond find Golden Gate Park de- lightful place for exercise. The broad avenues and smooth place around the music stand afford ideal drill grounds, and the Park Commissioners in their patriotism have ignored many idle ob- jections to the use of the park for the purposes of military instruction and given the regimental and company of ficers much greater freedom than is al- lowed for purposes of drill on the Pre- sidio reservation, owned by the Gov ernment. At the Presidio only the drill plain can be used by the soldiers. At Golden Gate Park the main drive way can be used by the troops until 9 o'clock in the morning. Use of the side drives and the ample spaces around the music stand is permitted at all times.
 At the last meeting of the Board of Park Commissioners some protests were made by persons who ride and drive in the park against the use of the main driveway for drilling troops. The protests allege that the evolutions of the various commands frighten the horses and increase the danger of accidents. In order to ac- commodate the military people and at the same time keep the main avenue free for the pleasure and convenience or the puDllC, 1INlDB h OCplS llltIO- duced a resolution, which was adopted, giving the soldiers free use of the main driveway until a. m. each day, and after that hour giving it exclusively to the public use.
 No restriction was placed on the use of any other section of the park drives by the troops. The lawns, of course, are not used for drill purposes at any military post and are not so used at Golden Gate Park.
 The generous use of the grounds in Golden Gate Park accorded by the Board of Commissioners Is appreciated by the officers and enlisted men of the volunteer army encamped at Rich mond It Is a beautiful sight to see the men marching and drilling, and thou sands of spectators enjoy the spectacle, regarding it as an additional attraction of the magnificent pleasure ground. It will be counted to the credit of patriotic San Francisco in years to come that her superb park was practically given to the Government as camp of in struction for the volunteer regiments.
