RAILS FROM SAN
JOSE TO ALVISO
Electric Line to Connect
the Two Places.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, April ia number Of
capitalists of this city have associated
themselves together for the building Of
an electric railroad between this city
and Alviso. At their head is eX-Super-
visor A Greeninger. The Board of
Supervisors was to-day petitioned for a
franchise for the road from the north
erly city limits straight out First street
to Alviso The distance is about eight
miles and It is estimated the railway
could be built, equipped and put into
operation at a cost Of from $4,000 to
SIS, 00O 1t is proposed to carry freight
on the road.
The hearing of the petition was set
for April s. The question of the right
of the board to grant franchise for a
freight-carrying road was referred to
the District Attorney. Should the fran
chise be granted, which is most likely
a company capitalized at 500, 600 will be
Immediately organized and the work
rushed.
Now that Congress has appropriated
$4S, 900 for the deepening and widening
of Alviso Slough the place promises to
be of Importance to San Jose. Already
rights of-way have been obtained for
a steam railway between Alviso and
this place, for which all the track ma
terials are now stored at Alviso. The
steamers from Alviso to San Francisco
handle a good amount of freight and
passenger traffic and a railway should
prove paying venture from the start.

GRAND COUNCIL ROYAL
AND SELECT MASONS
PATRIOTIC REVIEW OF EVENTS
OF THE PAST YEAR.

The Grand Council of Royal and Select
Master Masons of California met yesterday
in thirty-eighth annual session in the Ma
sonic Temple with Grand Master Robert
Ash and all the grand officers at their re-
spective stations. There were forty dele
gates present.
The reports of the grand officers that
were submitted showed that the council
Is in good condition, numerically and
financially, and that during the year there
was the average increase in membership.
Aside from the presentation of these re-
ports only routine business was trans
acted.
Grand Master Ash in his report made
allusion to the events of the past year,
calling attention to the assassination of
the American sailors on the Maine, the
declaration of war and it's welcome by
the whole people, not in a spirit of re-
venge, but in the cause of liberty and hui
manity, and then he said:
The conflict was brief and the American
arms won new victories upon land and sea
Some of our companions were the first TO draw
the sword and the first to proclaim the glad
tidings of victory. Admiral Dewey, our H.
lustrous countryman, one of the brightest and
bravest men that wears the stars less than
one year ago planted the standard OF cIviliza-
ton and humanity on the islands of the East
ern sea in the midst of a victory-the grand
est that history has ever recorded. Soon after

BIDS FOR MASONRY WORK
ON POSTOFFICE BUILDING
It Is Probable the Contract for Gran
tie and Marble Will Be Awarded
to an Eastern Firm.

WASHINGTON. April 1.-THE Treasury
Department to-day opened bids for ma
sonry work on the United States postoffice
building at San Francisco. Following are
the bidders: City Street Improvement
Company San Francisco, for granite,
1894 ,649 Sc; for marble, S1,2SS,790 "a Nor
cross Brothers, Worcester, Mass, gran
3te, SLIPS 600 marble, Sl,l60,000. John Pierce
q Co., New York, made three bids on
granite: First bid $3.50, 000 Texas red or
Stony Creek red; third bid. 1919 900 Tex
as red, California Raymond Gray.
William H. Ellis, Cincinnati, two bids on
granite: First bid Ito use Snake River
lin grantee, 1854 500; marble, $775 ,000
Richardson & Gale, San Francisco, gran
Knowles, Oakland, granite, $3.50 $50; mar
BILE. S1,020,000 Geddes & Sweerie Stone
Company, Denver, Colo, granite, $S42 900;
marble. $4,000. Bentley Construction
Company. Portland, Or, first bid (Ray-
mond grantee, $685. second bid CRock-
lin granite), 1854 ,525; third bid (Snake Riv-

$916,504; marble, S94S,S14. California Con-
structiOn Company, San Francisco, gran
ite, SSl8,S11; marble, $S68 81.
1t is probable that the contract for this
work will not be given until Supervising
Architect Taylor returns from his trip to
the West. 1t appears from the bids, as
set forth, that the contract will probably
fornia. as they are much lower in several
instances. The lowest bid for marble
work is that of William H. Ellis of Gin
cnnati. S775000, which is $93, ST. less than
the bid Of the California Construction
Company, 1868 81. The bid of Ellis for
granite is also lower than any other, and
is $159,311 less than the lowest California
bid. Ellis & Co. being the lowest bidders
on both granite and marble it is reason
able to predict that they will be awarded
the contract.
It has been pretty definitely decided that
the Postofice building will be constructed
of granite.

BUSILY ENGAGED.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Los ANGELES, April 1.-THE sud
den and unannounced departure of
Governor Henry T. Gage for the north
does not please the Republican wing of
his adherents. They are at a loss for
a motive for the air of mystery with
which he surrounded his movements.
They declare that a respectful hearing
was not granted and that he studiously
turned them down" by publicly an
nouncing that he would leave for Sac
ramento upon given date and then
departing upon a different day.
Whether the policy pursued by his Elk
cellency has caused the political air,
through pique on the part Of the dis
satisfied, to become surcharged with
the rumors Of a virulent character that
are abroad to-day, is difficult to deter
mine.
Whatever a diagnosis might reveal.
the fact is apparent that Governor
Gage does not own the entire Repub-
lican party of his home town. 1t Is
asserted that Dan Burns, when ne
visited the Gage-Denis gold mine at
Acton. was booked to extend his visit to
Los Angeles. but suggestions Of a
peremptory nature came from certain
Republican quarter that the coming Of
a defeated Senatorial aspirant would be
hazardous and extremely distastefuL
Hence the sudden return to the north
Of Burns, although it had been arranged
for Colonel Dan to take a much-needed
rest and a we'll earned vacation in the
salubrious climate of the Southland.
To-day politicians who handle the queS-
ton as a business said that trusted
lieutenants Of Burns had been in this
vicinity essaying TO tie up Senatorial
and Assembly timber to the Burns
extra-session craft, and, further, that
considerable favorable progress was
made.
The argument in behalf of the Burns
interest is enticing, not to say unique.
While it is contended that the State
constitution does not permit the Gov
ernor to call an extra session Of the
Legislature except for most serious rea-
sons, this very point is taken as
basis for gaining adherents. With only
one Senator in Congress from Califor-
nj the Burns men allege, possible
Democratic success two years hence
would mean, possibly, two Democratic
Senators. They are beating the bushes
TO gain sufficient strength to elect
Burns. Having secured this, knowing
ones assert, Gage will call an extra ses-
sion, alleging that grave necessity
exists for such a course. The claim Is
boldly made that an extra session viii
continue when called until Burns is
elected to the United States Senate.

HAWAII AB0LISHES ITS
CONTRACT LABOR LAW

HONOLULU, April 11-Just previous
to the departure of the Coptic it is
learned that the Hawaiian Government
has decided to abolish the contract labor
law. The action will be taken tomorrow
morning at a special meeting It is un-
derstood word came from Washington
10 do away with the law, for it is not
reasonable to suppose that President
Dole would nuliify a law without the con-
sent Of President Mckinley.
The immediate cause of the nullif-
cation of the contract labor law is the
fact that such a large number of plan
tations have been started within the
past two months. 1t would require at
least 10000 additional Japanese for the
new enterprise. This number with the
men already here would practically
flood the country. President Mckinley
has evidently decided 10 put a stop to
the wholesale Importation of Japanese
coolies.

from Mamie Mangan, a girl Is years
of age living at 2291a Perry street.
The warrant was obtained in Judge
Graham's court and the only evidence
against the little girl is that of q
year-old boy, Tommy Mangan. a
brother of the complaining witness.
Mamie Mangan and her mother called
at the office of the Chief of Police yes
terday morning and made complaint
against Lizzie for stealing the watch,
and they were advised to swear out a
warrant for her arrest.
Lizzie was detained in the City Pris-
on from noon till o'clock in
the afternoon, when her father
saw Judge Mogan and the
Judge released her on her own recog-
nizance. She denies emphatically the
charge of stealing the watch, and the
Judge was impressed with her story.

day" she said, ito Mrs. Mangan's to
borrow the newspaper. While Mamie
and I were talking in the bedroom

wagon and pulled it backward and
forward. Carrie went away without
taking Tommy and I went home.
That evening Jack Mangan came
to me and said 1 had stolen Mamies
watch, and 1 went straight to the
house and told them I knew nothing
about it. Mrs. Mangan came to our
house later and I told her the same
thing. My father got angry and
choked me to make me tell the truth,
and 1 told him I did not take the
watch. They made my mother search
everywhere for it, but of course they
could not find it,
Considerable adverse comment was
made upon the fact that a warrant
should be issued for the arrest of
child on such fimsy evidence. At all
events the warrant should have been
marked 20. R." so that the child
would not be detained in prison.
