These gentlemen presented their creden-

asked Captains Provost and Atwood to
vacate their seats. This is exactly what
these gentlemen have no intention Of
doing. They claim, and with considerable
earnestness. that they were appointed for
the space of four years and that not till
their four years have expired will they
abandon their posts. The credentials Of
intimate, are so much waste paper, and
say that they will pay no attention to
what Governor Gage has done in the mat
ter of appointments now.
They argue with some show of reason
that when Governor Perkins went into
office he created three Port Wardens, who
were to hold for four years. His ap-
pointees held for four years, though the
Governor himself only held for three
years, owing to the adoption Of the new
constitution. Ever since the office Of
Port Warden was created the appointees
have held for four years, and neither

Solitary Appointment by the Harbor

The Harbor Commissioners were eX-

The Southern Pacific was on hand
through its paymaster, ]. NJ. Hanford, to
protest against the charges on slips, both
ferry and freight It's protest was not so
much against what it was paying, but
against alleged discrimination. For the
landings in front of the ferry building
the company says it pays an average of
$1,000 a month for each slip. 1t alleges
that the two adjoining slips are rented to
the California and Northwestern Railway
objected to the payment of $4,000 year
for the Second street freight slip it is now
using.
The boards stated reason for the varia-
ton In the charges is because the South
ern Pacific finds much more use for slips
than the other companies, and taking pat
tern after c. P. Huntington. it is charging
"all the traffic will bear" 1t was de-
cided to set aside time for the hearing
of the petition of the company and settle
the matter.
The engineer Of the board reported that
Broadway pier 2 was being overloaded by
Goodall, Perkins & Co. The dock will
stand a load of about $50 pounds to the
square foot, and the steamship people are
said to be piling nail kegs, weighing 100
pounds each and occupying an area of
about one square foot, in tiers six feet
high. Six hundred pounds to the foot was
beyond anything the wharves could stand,
the engineer said, and he suggested in
that connection that wharves should be
built to stand more of a load than has
| been the custom in the past
Captain Goodall was on hand to explain
matters, which he did by urging press Of
business. and as a result he was given

Eleven Stories of Iron and Stone to
Be Erected in Place of the

Ruins.

The eye-assailing ruins which mark the
site Of the destroyed Baldwin Hotel will
give way TO a structure of iron and stone,
perhaps the most magnificent in this city.
Unless present plans, which are on the
point of contamination, miscarry, a hotel
will be reared on the corner of Eddy and
Market streets which will vie with the
most famous buildings of it's kind. Two
millions of dollars will be expended in the
construction of this magnificent edifce
in which the best features of modern ar
chitecture Will find naturalization.
Ever since the fateful night when the
old hotel was laid in ashes schemes for
Baldwin block have been as prolific as
they were chimerical. First 1t was a
theater and big hotel which would
adorn that part of the city. Then Bald
win himself would come forward with
plans for a low two-storied building, and
on the following day he would announce
to the public that he had changed his
mind and would permit investors 10
beautify the city by building a multi
stored hosiery upon his land.
The present scheme has received the at
tention of number of local capitalists
who have formed a corporation for the
purpose Of building a hotel which in ar
chitectural beauty and practical utility
will far surpass any other hotel in this
city. 1t will be eleven stories in height
stores with a frontage on Powell. Ellis
and Market streets The intention Of the
builders is not to have a theater in the
hotel. utilizing the entire building space
for rooms.
Baldwin was forced into the business
end of the scheme. and it is said that he
gave an unwilling acquiescence to the de-
mands of the capitalists who have joined
together and formed a corporation. Ar
chitects have been engaged to prepare
plans for the new building, and that part
of the work is now progressing. A mil
lion of dollars has been subscribed fol-
the construction Of the building. The sec

time arrives. This, together with the

ANOTHER CHANCE FOR CARTER
Review of the Arguments in the
Officers Behalf

At the request of the Attorney General,
Secretary Alger has given orders to Col
E. F. Barr. assistant Judge advocate gen
eral, 10 confer with Mr. Griggs concerning
the case of Capt. o. NJ. Carter. of the En-
gineer Corps. This action is believed to
mean that the Attorney General purposes
to Immediately take the Carter case under
consideration.
1t is understood that Mr.. Griggs is anx-
ious that Colonel Barr. who vas judge ad-
vocate of the court that tried Carter. shall
review the arguments submitted in the ac-
cused officers behalf by lis attorneys and
submit an answer thereto.
Colonel Barr is now in Chicago. His
orders require him to come 10 this city
without delay. II is said by friends of
Captain Carter that the statute of limita-
tions cannot now intervene to prevent ac-
tion against him on the charges Of which
he was found guilty, no matter how great
a time may elapse before the President
acts. 1t is different, however, with the
Atlantic Contracting Company, with which
Garter is alleged TO have engaged in con-
spiracy. If the department should delay
action against that company until next
summer the statute of limitations will not
permit suit against them.
