STEAMSHIPS TO HAVANA.
Illinois Central May Establish a Line
of Its Own.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE Chronicle
says: Within the next few days it will
be decided whether the Southern Pa
cific Railway company, which operates
the Morgan line, will put on an entirely
new fleet of steamers between New Or
leans and Havana, or whether the Hi
nols Central company will put on a
fleet of its own, to handle the immense
business between the points named
that is expected after Jan. l.
Negotiations have been pending in
regard to this enlarged service ever
since the end of the war, and reopen
ing of Cuban ports to our commerce.
Vice President Harahan of the Illinois
Central company is in New Orleans,
looking after the interests that up to
September have been confided by his
company to the Southern Pacific Off
Gals. The latter have resumed their
weekly steamship sailings from New
Orleans to Havana, which were inter-
rupted by the war, but nothing less
than a sen1i-weekly or tri-weekly serv-

pany as soon as the export trade to
Cuba is again in full swing.
Traffic Manager T. J. Hudson of the
Illinois Central had a conference in the
east recently with a representative of
the Southern Pacific company, and re-
ceived the assurance of the latter that
fleet of new vessels would be put on
between New Orleans and Havana, as
soon as trade conditions warranted it.
Mr.. Hudson says that unless this
promise was promptly redeemed. the
Illinois Central would, though reluc-
tant to go into the steamship business
itself, be compelled to put fleet of
its own steamers in the service.
The Inauguration of a first-class line
between New Orleans and Havana is
said to be of vital Importance to Chi

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS
Mayor Phelan Writes Letter to
Abbot Kinney

Mayor Phelan expresses his views on the
tive proposed constitutional amendments
in the following communication to Abbot
Kinney OF this city, who Is supposed 10
be a senatorial candidate of the Democrat
lie party from the southern end of the
state:
In reply to your letter desire to say
that the senate constitutional amend
ment No. A, proposed to enable San
Francisco to pay her creditors. should
be voted down for this reason: There
was general agreement that certain
creditors of the city should be paid be-
cause their legitimate demands, pre-
sented during the forty-third and
forty-fourth fiscal years, found de-
pleted treasury, but the constitu-
tional amendment as proposed, is cum
ningly drafted by designing men to
break down the protection of the tax
payer and open wide the door of the
treasury to numerous claims which
have been rejected and outlawed for
many years. / consider the amend
ment as fraud upon the people of San
Francisco, drafted in the interest of
street contractors, whose demands
have been frequently refused for good
and sufficient reasons by both the
legislature and the municipal authori-
ties. The protection given cities by
the constitution should not be lightly
set aside, and in this case there is
every good reason why it should not
be set aside. The constitutional amend
ment should, therefore, be voted down.
AS to assembly constitutional
amendment No. a. I desire to request
you to support 1t. 1t was drafted by
the friends of charter reform and Is
designed to give San Francisco home
rule. 1t simply brings all the officers
of the city and county of San Fran
cisco within the pale of the charter and
makes them amenable to it's wise pro-
visions. Yours truly,
JAMES d. PHELAN

A VERY LIGHT DAY
COUNCIL ASKS FOR BIDS FROM
ELECTRIC COMPANIES
SEVEN PLANS OFFERED
LITTLE OPPOSITION OPENLY
MANIFESTED TO THE PLAN
A WORKING LOBBY ON HAND
Considerable Street and Sewer Work
Disposed of-City's Lawsuits
Considered-Oddsa and Ends

Long before the council met yesterday
morning the corridors of the city hall
were thronged with men and women who
had large or small axes to grind on the
municipal grindstone. Chief among those
who waited upon the deliberations of the
city Solons were the people concerned
more or less directly with the street light
ing contract. The question as to what the
council is going to do regarding the city
lighting has been pressing one for more
than week, and the gentlemen who were
in the corridors yesterday representing
the various antagonistic electric lighting
companies did not feel at all az ease when
Councilmen Order, Blanchard and Baker,
carrying armsful of maps and accompa-
MED by Councilmen Toll, Nickel ana Ash
man. filed into the office of President Sill
yer about two minutes before the hour
for the opening of the official session.
Nor were their fears allayed when minute
after minute went by and there was no
sign of egress upon the part of the bot
tied up councimen. while knocks at the
door of the presidents Office were I'M
needed.
Ten, twenty minutes past 10, and still no
sign of the locked-up councilmen. The
electric light men and their representa-
tives grew anxious and Councilman Hutch
ison. who appeared on the scene in the
meantime, was pulled and hauled from
San Gabriel to Broadway and Sixth" and
back again by the men who wanted 10
talk electric light.
Suddenly the doors of President Sill
ver's Office opened and out marched the
strategy board. Individually and collect
lively they were bounced upon. The we'll
known attorney, T. e. Gihbon, had Coun-
Gilman Toll backed up in one corner, w.
R. Bacon had Order in the hallway,
Billy Hammel was talking to Baker. W. G.
Kerckhoff was arguing with Ashman, and
the rest were scattered around promscuous
like.
1t was 1o:45 before the gavel Of President
Silver fell and the council came to order.
