THE NEW CHARTER.
The Merchants Association Sounds
 It's Members on It.

The men who framed the new charter have decided to hold meeting on Thurs day evening in Native Sons Hall for the purpose of ratifying the charter in it's en- tirety. At this gathering ways and means will be discussed looking to the adoption of the charter by the people. The char ter has been a matter of some concern to the members of the Merchants Associa- tion. Many of it's principal officials have spent time and money in creating some thing to take the place of the old con- solidation act under which the city is now governed, but their efforts were more as individuals than as members.
 There is now a strong desire to learn how the majority of the members stand on the subject. To this end postals have been sent out to all on the associations s roll asking if they favor the adoption of the charter, and if they believe the Mer- chants Association should urge it's adop- ton. So far about one-third of the mem bers have answered. Of these 236 are for it, seven against and two have not made up their minds Efforts are being made to learn how the remaining two-thirds stand before the association takes any position in the premises.

JOY AT THE
 ARMY POSTS
Enthusiasm Over COmmO- dOre Dewey'S Great
 Naval Victory.

News of Commodore Dewey's splendid victory at Manila filled the hearts of the Presidio soldiers with joy. The great naval achievement was the chief topic of conversation yesterday all along the line from Fort Mason to Fort Point. The en- listed men were as happy as the officers, and the troopers of the Fourth Cavalry were fully as enthusiastic as the men of the Third Artillery. Everyeitem of intel ligence coming over the wires was eagerly awaited, and predictions were made that one more triumph of equal magnitude would practically bring to close the war with Spain. It seemed to be the judg ment of army people that the fleets of Sampson and Schley should bounce upon the Spanish armada from Cape Verde as soon as it came within range.
 Colonel Miller, Third United States Ar tillery, the commander of the artillery defenses of San Francisco Harbor, had a busy day yesterday. He was at Fort Point early in the day and later on wis tied the Notifications at Lime Point. He received many dispatches from General Merriam and the engineers, and dictated replies to First Lieutenant Morris K Barroll. Third Artillery adjutant. Major David H. Kinzie, field officer, is in charge of the forces on the tented field of Fort Point. Major Frank w. Hess also holds an important command on the main line
 
 Tine sergeant and five men of the United States Engineer Corps, whose departure from Willets Point for San Francisco was mentioned a few days ago in the dis- patches from New York arrived here yes terday. Colonel Morris, commanding the post at the Presidio, provided quarters and rations for the detachment. Major Heuer of the Engineer Corps was at once advised of the arrival of the men. It is no secret that these. men from Willets Point will at once begin the work of planting torpedoeS and submarine mines in the bay. The work is well advanced in it's general scope. The torpedo ma terial stored at Goat Island is at hand. Much of the preliminary work of the electricians has been done, yet some ex- pert manipulation Is required to render inc system available for immediate use. Batteries of rapid-fire guns are in posi- ton to protect the mine field.
 Orders have been received at depart ment headquarters directing that the vol unteers when mustered into the United States service shall be rationed the same as regular troops. Instructions to this effect have been communicated to the commissary officers of the regular army
 To-day the band of the Third Artillery will come from Angel Island and occupy the quarters at the Presidio recently va cated by the band of the First United States Infantry.

THE ARTILLERISTS.
More Than the Required Number Have Already
 Volunteered.

Signatures to the heavy artillery rolls have now reached 443. and to-day 1t is expected that the 800 mark, or close to it, will be reached. The call was for 400, but 1t is expected that at least twenty five per cent will be rejected for one cause or another, and so the rolls will be kept open until 800 men have signed.

Cavalry recruiting officer at the Presidio, applied to be relieved from other duty, as it required all his time to attend to the affairs of the recruiting office. Twenty applicants for enlistment were in line at the Presidio when the office opened for business yesterday morning
 vation yesterday. One was drunken citizen and the other three-tine deserter from the army who wanted to enlist in the Fourth Cavalry. He was recognized as a man who deserted from Captain Gales troop of the Fourth Cavalry in Arizona. Colonel Morris questioned the man, and ascertained that he had de- serted from the Sixth Cavalry while a squadron of that regiment was on duty in New York during the reception of Ii Hung Chang. The old deserters name is Kearney. The reasons he gave for his former assertions were so himsy that Col onel Morris and Captain Gale advised him to leave the reservation at once He ob- tained a days rations and went away.

East, his son Nat tends to the business of his office. When Nat Boas was in- formed that the warrants that had been assigned to him by Doran, Northrop and Barber had been drawn and paid he was dumfounded. He declared that it could not be possible, as they were among those that had been held out for the purpose of the test suit brought by the Mayor He stated that his inform ant on this point was Harry Piper. When he learned that as a matter of fact the warrants had been drawn, and that his assignments had been filed too late, he declared that if this was the case he would have the three deputies arrested to-day.
 Harry Piper made a poor stimulation of nonchalance when he was informed of the hot time" that was probably in store for him. He said that he owed these people money, and that when his salary was tied up by the suit of the Mayor, he had given assignments of his warrants to protect the brokers, who had previously made the loans without eXacting any security. He at first denied that he had obtained the money on the double hypothecation of the warrants of Doran, Northrop and Baker, but afterward admitted that these men had let him have the money which was thus obtained. He denied that he had negotiated the double hypothecation of the warrants. lie also Oenled that the money had been lost in playing the races, but claimed that sickness in his family had recently put him to an ex- pense of between 5000 and $500.
 MT. Northop, who is in charge of the Probate Department In the County Clerks office, stated last evening that he was one of the unfortunate deputies who drew their warrants ahead. He did it to accommodate MT. Piper, with the understanding that the warrants were to be redeemed within ten days. He stated that as this was doEe two months ago and MT. Piper has not car ried out his agreement, he and not the deputies are to blame; that if he could not redeem the warrants he should have informed the deputies and thus given them a chance to set themselves straight. MT Northop further said that it was an injustice to use the names of the deputies in connection with the matter. He said that since he has been in the office his actions have been above board and always before the public.
