BRITISH SAILORS WIN. Exciting Game of Football at the Presidio-Victors Entertained.

very interesting and exciting game of association football was played yester- day afternoon on the Presidio grounds be- tween the soldiers and a team of sailors from the British steamship Moana, that arrived from Australia on the 9th inst. The soldiers had the wind in their favor the first half, but failed to score against their opponents although the ball on sev eral occasions was near the sailors goal. Once or twice the soldiers goal was threatened, but the sailors were unable to force the ball between the posts. After an intermission of ten minutes both teams lined up on the field for the second half the sailors having the wind in their favor. Each team got down to steady work, and 1t was not long before Private Steele kicked a goal for the soldiers. The game from this time on was hotly contested on both sides and soon after Mccormick for the sailors kicked a goal and made a tie. The sailor boys were not content with this, but shortly after rushed the ball to the soldiers side and Sailor Williamson added another goal to the credit of the British seaInen. The final score was to l in favor of the sailors. MT Hunter, third officer of the Moana, refereed the game. After the game the vtctors were royalty entertained by the soldiers at the canteen and post restaurant. A return game will be played week from next Saturday.
 Following are the names of the players Dimmick and Keilty; half-backs, Murray, Brown and O'Merry; forwards, Robinson, Steele, Smith, Ratchford, Mofitt and

A Friendly Suit to Head Off a Threatened Deficiency in
 the Treasury.
Clerks Appointments Are Not Legal.

The Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors decided on Friday to go to the courts to ascertain how the threatened deficit in the city finances can be avoided. Auditor Broderick and Mayor Phelan were present before the committee, each anxious to show that he had done his share in checking reck- less expenditures. The fight turned on the County Clerks office, which the Mayor has picked out as a mark for his attacks Supervisor Haskins wanted to know whether or not the Auditor could refuse to sign any bill that was sent to him, and Mayor Phelan hastened to re- ply that he thought the Auditors pow CTS extended that far.
 clined to express an opinion on the Aud itor's powers, stating that 1t would be necessary to look into the law before expnssing any opinion. Then Mayor Phelar turned his guns on the County Clerk and asked the Auditor whether he would refuse to sign demands from the County Clerks office so that he might be mandamused and the merits of the mat ter ascertained.
 Auditor Broderick replied that he would not undertake to do anything of the kind as he did not know so far as the law was concerned whether there were any illegal appointees in the Coun- ty Clerks office, and if there were any he had no means of ascertaining which were outside the law. It was finally de- cided to make a test case and employ an attorney to bring suit to enjoin the Aud itor from signing a certain demand, and by this means throw the whole matter into the courts.

German Democrats Have AL ready Inaugurated the
 Campaign of '9S.
An Grafton by Max Pepper and . "Hit" in Singing by Miss Cornell.
 Delegations Present

The German Democrats are nothing If not on time, in politics at least. They fired the first gun of the campaign of '9S last evening, the occasion being that of an inauguration, entertainment and ball held at Turn Verein Hall, 323 Turk street. The Ceremonies" were under the auspices of the German Democratic Central Club, with Max Pepper, the Iroquois brave, as chief medicine man. A fair-sized crowd was present and cheered heartily as shortly prior to the opening of the pro- gramme delegations from the Democratic Central Club and the Laguna Club marched in with banners waving and badges conspicuously in evidence. The hall was arrayed in holiday attire and the stage decorated with flowers. At the back of the stage was placed a large DOT trait of William Jennings Bryan, bear ing the insignia of the Laguna Club
 After an overture by the orchestra Max Pepper was introduced by Dr. Thiele, the chairman. The speaker prefaced his re- marks with the statement that it is c characteristic of the German race to take time by the forelock. He spoke of the prominent part taken by German-Ameri- cans in previous campaigns, and stated his belief that their influence had always been thrown on the side of good govern ment.

pipe covering, in all respects equal, in the judgment of the architect, to the sample on file in his office. Pipe cov- ering to be put on by experts in that line.
 According to the above, all pipes were to be covered with magnesia. plefed work shows that all the return pipes buried i'm the floor are devoid of covering, no regard having been paid to the covering clause.
 Perhaps the most glaring fraud in connection with this contract Is shown in the trenches made for the reception of the return pipes. The specifications read as follows:
 Trenches are to be cut by this con. tractor Cheating contractor) in the foundation concrete for his return pipes, neatly finished up with the best Port land cement and covered with heavy cast-iron, ribbed, covering plates, set in flush with finished floor.
 These trenches, instead of being cut large enough to provide of the pipe with pipe covering on 1t, and graded toward the receiving tank, have been cut barely large enough in width to re- ceive the pipe, and of a uniform depth just sufficient to allow for a thin cov- ering over the trenches. The ribbed cast-fron covers have been omitted al- together.
 A rough estimate of the amount saved to the contractor by three of the omis- sions enumerated is as follows:
 Pipe covering 1000 Cutting frenches.... I,25O Cast-iron covers. l,ISO
 Total saving S3, 43O
 The above estimates are based on the supposition that the work should have been done according to the original specifications as interpreted by the other bidders. These estimates do not in clude all of the omissions. The amount saved by leaving out the two pipe sys- tenn on the ground floor and some other minor omissions should be added. It would then appear that the contractor drew out of the State treasury quite a large sum of money for a small amount of work.
 As before stated, the Board of liar bor Commissioners let the work on the heating apparatus in three separate contracts, the contract for the radi- ators and also for the boilers being let quite recently. W. W. Monta que & Co. secured the contract for furnishing and setting the radiators without competi- ton for the sum of $2927.
 The specifications give list of 105 radiators, aggregating $500 square feet Radiators can be purchased in the open market In small lots for 30 cents per square foot, while the radiator valves would probably not average more than $2 each. The best automatic air valves on the market do not cost more than s1 each. These are retail prices. At these rates the cost of doing the work would be:

tions to every agent and conductor
on the entire system to give special
care and attention to returning sold

homes while upon the trains or at the
stations of the Northwestern. The
employees are instructed to be dill

iers are in need OF food, and more
