The Mckinley administration has
made most disgraceful appointments
to office at the behest Of uncrupulous
politicians. 1t has betrayed the civil
service TO the spoilsmen, paralyzed
the organization of the army, violat-
ed its pledges as to currency reform,
humiIiated its most efficient servants
and discredited American intellIgen-
ce and valor in the eyes of the Clviliz-
ed world. In a time for courage it
has quailed. In time for decision
is has hesitated. In time for action
it has delayed. In time for honest
dealing it has paltered and equivocat>
ed. Its policy has been to drift; its
aim has been to placate every body,
however unworthy and cater TO every
vital interest of the nation on the al

SUTRO HEIRS ARE ANXIOUS
TO SELL ELECTRIC ROAD
DENY THAT SUTTER STREET
COMPANY HAS THE CALL.

The administrators of the Sutro estate
expect to dispose of the Sutro Electric
Railway on October 6, at which time bids
for the property will come before the
Probate Department of the Superior
Court. Rumors that the road was as good
as sold to the Sutter-street Railroad Com
pany are strenuously denied by represen-
tatives of the corporation as well as the
administrators of the Sutro estate.
A bid of $4,000 has been made by
broker, whose name is withheld, but w.
r. H. Adamson. special administrator
of the estate says positively that the
offer is not made by the Sutter-street
Company.
to sell the property more than month
ago and on September 5 an order was
issued to show cause why the power
house should not be leased for a term Of
five years at the nominal rental of s. per
month. This order will be disposed or
October 6.
The Sutro road is looked upon with
covetouS eyes by the Market street, Cali
fornia street and the Sutter street rail-
road companies, and it is certain that one
of the three corporations has made the
bid now in the hands of the administra-
tors and that all of them will make offers
for the property when the matter reaches
the Probate Court
Referring to the sale, Mr.. Adamson
said:
'The estate has been anxious for some
time to sell the electric line and the ad-
1nln1StratOrS dppleQ 10 the COuI I dDOul d
month ago to dispose of it. We have re-
ceived a bid of $40, 900 from a broker, but
l can state positively that we have not
negotiated for the sale of the road to the
Sutter-street Company. All of these
matters have to go before the Probate
Court and we cannot dispose of the road
excepting to the highest bidder and then
only upon the court 8 approval or the pur-
chase price"
The Sutro Electric Railway is a stock
company, a majority of the shares being
held by the Sutro estate. There are 40 900
shares altogether. Sixteen thousand Of
them were never disposed of, 5000 were
sold off in small blocks and the balance
is owned by the Sutro estate. The cor
poration owns only the right of way,
tracks and rolling stock of the line, the
power-house not being included in the
company's property. At present the SUIT
ter-street Company has a transfer agree
ment with the Sutro Company which the
Calfornia-str line is said TO be anxious
to secure, and shut the rival concern out
of one of its most valuable privileges
This would leave the Sutter-street Com
pany in the predicament of practically
commencing nowhere and ending at the
same place, up against the cemetery
fence, as was it's condition before the
Sutro road was built.
This situation would indicate that there
will be a lively contest for possession of
the property when the sale comes before
the Probate Court October 6.

Organized Labor Meetings..

At meeting of the District Council
of Carpenters and Joiners last night the
question Of the appointment of a special
agent to look after the exclusive interests
OF the members of these branches was
discussed.
The increase of workmen together with
the magnitude of the council, 1t was
stated, would justify the appointment of
such an agent. This appointment, if made,
will be subordinate to and III conjunction
with the office of general agent, held by
Harry II. Saunders of the Building Trades
Council. The consent of the various
unions will be asked before the agent is
appointed. A like consent from the unions
Will be requested in a communication
from the parent body regarding the call
ing of a union mass meeting looking to
an increase OF wages Of the carpenters
throughout the city.
A petition was received from the stair
builders requesting that the council or
ganize them into a union. The appliCa-
ton was referred to Harry Saunders, who
is acting secretary. for his investigation.
The Granite Cutters Union elected w.
F. O'Donnell, T. c. Russell and Joseph
Prader as delegates TO the Labor Council.
The electricians decided to affiliate with

after day passed and, although fully de-

her mind what route she should follow.
Wednesday last she secured bottle OF
chloroform and hid it in her room. That
evening she and Miss Denny went out and
called upon some friends of the latter, but
returned to their rooms early. Soon att

some hard work the life of the young
woman was saved.
All night Miss Denny kept watch over
her friend, but yesterday morning MISS
Prue made an excuse to go into the bath

mainder of the bottle of chloroform. AS

BRAUN HART HAS
SURRENDERED TO
THE AUTHORITIES
Absurd Chase After
the Accused.
THE POLICE PLACED ON GUARD
PRELIMINARY HEARING TO BE
HELD TODAY.
Ex-senator Dunn Intends to Prose
cute the Port Warden Vigor-
ously-Local Politicians
Interested.

Samuel Braunhart, accused Of perjury
by ex-senator William J. Dunn, surren-
dered himself to the police yesterday
morning and was Immediately released on
bonds. The accused man attributes his
arrest to spitework on the part of Dunn,
but the interesting fact remains that two
reputable men of the city swear that the
Port Warden used their names without
warrant and represented under oath
scenes that never happened. The arrest
of Braunhart has created considerable
comment in political circles and the trial
promises to be interesting.
The arrest of Braunhart has provoked
from the police q series of explanations.
The warrant charging Braunhart with
perjury was placed in the hands of Police
Captain Spillane at 4:S0 o'clock on Tues
day afternoon. Braunhart's address was
given and the question of arrest seemed to
be one easy of solution. Acting Sergeant
OMeara was commissioned with the duty
of service and left the City Hall to bring
Braunhart into custody. Sergeant O'Meara
had undertaken a serious chase. He
hunted everywhere in the city. but the
accused man could not be found. Braun
hart was in his usual haunts, but the
police officer was always before or behind
him and could not find him.
AS the hours wore on the chase became
amusing. In the different rendezvous of
politicians it was known that an officer
was seeking the Port Warden and wagers
were made that Braunhart would prob
ably prove the captor instead of the cap
tive Sergeant O'Meara was doing his
best not to find the politician. 1t seemed
as If the absurd game were to be repeated
yesterday, but Braunhart took consulta-
ton with himself and early in the morn
ing surrendered himself at police head
quarters. His bondsmen came with him
and he was Immediately released.
The affair had become SO serious from
police point of view that at midnight on
Tuesday every police officer who left the
Central station at the City Hall was or
dered to be on the watch for Braunhart
and to bring him into custody if he were
found. The Port Warden saved the trouble
of a general police raid by surrendering
himself.
His bondsmen are J. ]. Harrigan, sec
retary of the Board of Port Wardens, and
Philip Cohen, a merchant residing at 729
Golden Gate avenue. Both qualified for
sum far in excess of the amount of the
bond. Police Judge Conlan accepted the
bond and Braunhart was released.
His case will be called this morning by
Police Judge Thomas f. Graham, who
issued the warrant Ex-senator Dunn
says he intends to press the charge to the
prosecution of Braunhart. Others, it is
claimed swore that they heard discussions
of Dunns character which the facts prove
never were made, and the ex-senator
intends to prosecute the alleged offenders.

ident has announced that Colonel
Hamilton would receive the appoint
ment.
Collector Jackson has the power to
fill the vacancy in the cashiership
caused by the promotion of Colonel
Hamilton. The office is excepted from
the civil service regulations.
Collector Jackson professed to be
ignorant yesterday of the intention of
the President with regard to the pro-
motion of the Naval officer and the
cashier. and while he admitted that he
would have the power to fill the va
cancy in the cashiership and would
exercise that prerogative should a
vacancy occur, he declined TO state
whether he had any one in view.
Colonel Hamilton was notified yester-
day of his appointment by dispatch
from Washington.
Colonel Irish would not talk on the
matter, beyond saying that he did not
know anything about the report that
he was to be appointed. The report
from Washington that Colonel Irish
was to be promoted is corroborated
by the fact that President Mckinley
is grateful to him for not supporting
Bryan at the Presidential election, and
as he has an opportunity to select a
Democrat for the important position
of General Appraiser he knew of no
Democrat that he liked better than
the colonel.
The Board of General Appraisers
consists of nine members, each OF
whom is placed in charge of one of the
nine districts into which the United
States is divided for the purposes OF
the board. Colonel Irish will have
