The following is the resolution as
passed:
Resolved. BY the Federation of Mission I'm
provement Clubs representing the whole Of
the Mission district, that we respectfully re-
quest the Board of Supervisors to instruct the
District Attorney Judge D. ]. Murphy to
name of the city and county of San Francisco

the Southern Pacific Railroad Of Kentucky;
also the rock crusher and quarry now being
operated by Gray Bros. at the corner of Doug

which was introduced by CAPTAIN Ander-
son, Gustave Schnee, chairman of the eX-
ecutiVe committee, introduced the follow
ing on the Geary street franchise, which
went through without a single vote In
opposition;
Resolved, That the Federation of Mission I'm
provement Clubs is of the opinion that IT is
against public policy to grant new franchise

the interest of the entire people will be best
subserved by allowing the present franchise to
expire before any action is taken by the Board
of Supervisors on this most important question.
Resolved, further, That this federation COM
mends his Honor Mayor Phelan and the press
for their assistance in defeating the. Doodle
scheme of the railroad company and those Su-

privileges belonging to the people without any
tust return.

Detectives Ryan and O'Dea and locked
up in the tanks pending n Investigation.
a number of valuable tools have recently
been missed from Kelso's yards at Six

lice were finally notified. Last night the
detectives found Carroll pawning tools in
a store on Fourth street. They followed
him to Harrison street and watched him
enter the contractors store yards. He
was then placed under arrest and ad-
nitted taking the tools, but said he was
justified in doing so, as kelso owed him

sea lions is suspended and you are re-
quested to recall the deputies as soon
as they can be notified. 1 will notify
the keepers to send the deputies off
the reservations upon the first oppor-
tunity.
The Commissioners are satisfied as to
the persons who inspired this action on
Washington. For the past two weeks a
number of letters have been received from
Mr.. Shields, the editor of an Eastern
journal, and others, protesting against the
destruction of the sea lions upon PURELY
sentimental grounds. These protests were
seconded by DR.. G. Hart Marian. a sci
enlist and vice president of the League of
American Sportsmen at Washington.
These gentlemen compared the destruc-
tfon of the sea lions to that OF the buf-
falo and antelope. President A. T. Vogel-
sang answered the letters politely bur
forcefully to the effect that the protest.

no doubt the hand that welded the club.
President Vogelsang yesterday wrote q

pense that has entailed in fitting out the
expeditions against the sea lions, with the
permission Of the Government Also that
the movement against these sea animals
has received the Endorsement and approv-

sidered and permission again granted.
Deputy Al Wilson and an assistant are
on the Farallones and Captain Scott and
two assistants are on the Ano Nuevo

able to destroy many of the seals. They
have been recalled.

exercises in honor of the day We're held
in the open air. Senator George c. Per
kins was the principal speaker, and IN
the course of his speech, which was en-
tirely informal he referred to the sternng
Maine character and the influence OF its
representative men on the history Oh the
nation.
When rebellion and discord threatened
the dissolution o. our common country,
he said, 1.-The regiments of Maine were IN
the thickest of the fight and thousands
of her gallant sons now sleep in the Gem
eteres at Gettysburg and Shiloh.
He spoke of his own early. life in Maine;
where he was born. and of his study OF
such great men as Senator HANNIBAL
Hamlin and William Pitt Fessenden. from
whom he received the first inspirations
which nodded his own after-character.
Coming down to the late war with Spain
and the question of the Philippines, Sena-
tor Perkins said:
THE fortunes of war have brought us
into the position we now occupy regard
ing the Philippines, and while there is a
diversity of opinion as to their retention,
il is certain that we as a nation are in
duty bound to do all in our power for the
enlightenment and building up of the peo-
pie of those islands. When they come
to the point of being competent to gov
ern themselves, then they can be allowed
to do so. and the United States will fos-
ter such a condition of affairs.
