None of the commission proposals
have been accepted by Mr.. Wilson. 1t is
doubtful whether the commissioners will
report in favor of negotiations at to
nights meeting of the city council. and
there is still remote possibility that the
commissioners md railway owners may
yet get together.
1t is understood that the street railway
people declined to recede from their price

Strong pressure has been brought to bear
on both Losey and Hogan to remain

SUCCESSOR TO DEWEY.
Man Now in Charge at Mare
Island will Relieve Hero of
Manila Bay.

Washington. u. c., May S.-The navy
department has selected successor to
Admiral Dewey to command the Asiatic
station. Orders were issued today de-
taching Rear Admiral Watson from com
mand of the Mare Island navyyard and
ordering him to report to Admiral Dewey
at Manila to relieve that officer when he
feels that he can he spared there.
Rear-Admira KempH, at present on
waiting orders. mas been ordered to sue
cecd Admiral Watson in command of the
Mare island navy-yard.
It was stated at the navy department
today that Admiral Dewey will come
from Manila direct to New York when
he returns to the United States.
However, 1t was added the admiral
will not start until the commission of
which be is a member has completed the
work it has undertaken. at least so far
rs it relates to the restoration of peace
to the islands.
The reason for bringing the flagship
OLYMPIA TO New York instead of
having her come to San Francisco, where
she was built. Is said to be primarily be
cause Admiral Dewey desires to make
the passage on his own flagship, but also
for the reason that the Mare Island yard
threatens to be overwhelmed with repair
work as soon as the numerous vessels of
Dewey's fleet begin TO return to the
United States.
The Olympia is in need of a thorough
overhauling having been away from her
home longer than any of the vessels in
the Asistic fleet. and rendered more than
the usual amount of hard service during
her absence.
