THERE Is dissension among the mem
bers of the Railroad Commission, and
the cause of the people may yet re-
ceive that consideration which is it's
due at the hands of honest and honorable
public officials.
Notwithstanding the fact that the reso-
luton adopted at the last session of the
commission received the unanimous vote
of the members, it appears now that
each Commissioner has a different idea
of the action taken at that time and the
meeting fixed for April 10 will develop
some surprising features Each member
of the commission will be found pulling
in different direction instead of together
and for the railroad.
Chairman Edison believes he has a
grievance in that he was induced to vote
for the resolution agreeing to abandon all
further litigation in reference to rate re-
auctions, providing the commission was
allowed to put into effect an s per cent
reduction on grain rates. He is in favor
of having the pending litigation with the
Southern Pacific Company carried to a
conclusion on it's merits.
Commissioner Laumeister believes that
the action of the Commissioners at their
last meeting threw the responsibility of
dismissing that litigation on the South
ern Pacific Company, with all its at
tefldant liabilities but his views are ap-
parently not shared by Commissioner
Blackstock, the father of the original
resolution
In an interview at Los Angeles yester-
day Judge Blackstock indicated that in
his opinion the action of the board bound
the commission to refrain from all further
efforts at rate reduction and to abandon
the defense of the suit brought against
the commission by the Southern Pacific
Company
With a view of getting light other than
that shed by the Blackstock intelligence
on this important question Commissioner
Edison has made application personally
to the attorneys who represented the
Railroad Commission while the suit was
pending in the Federal Court. These gem
tIemen are ex-Attorney General Fitzger-
aid. Robert Y Hayne and w. w. Foote.
1t is understood that he asked these gen.
tlemen the direct question whether they
were in favor of dismissing the pending
litigation, that he received a negative re-
ply and that he has asked these gentle
men to appear before the commission on
April 10, when decisive action Is expected
to be taken by the commission relative
to this litigation. His idea is to have the
new Board of Railroad Commissioners
fully informed on the question by those

AMATEUR BOXING AT
THE OLYMPIC CLUB
According to Their Records Smith
Should Defeat Green on
a ror.il Y

The Olympic Club will hold its third
series of boxing entertainments this even
ing, and a first-class evenings sport is
guaranteed by Leader Hammersmith
The names of the athletes who will take
part in the boxing appeared in Sundays

ers are all in good condition and that 1t

Billy Smith and George Green are in
training for their twenty round bout,
which will take place under the auspices
of the National Club in Woodward's Pa
vilion on the evening of April Z. Smith
should certainly be strong favorite in
the betting as, barring some unforeseen
accident. he cannot fail to whip Green,
who is apparently fast on the retrograde.
Two years ago Smith was defeated by
Green in Carson, but 1t Is well-known
fact that Smith was not in any condition
and that he did not try very hard to
win Last July he met Green again in
the Lenox Athletic Club, New York. and
defeated him in a twenty-f round bout
Last December he met Walcott in the
same club and trimmed the dusky cham
pion in twenty rounds.
San Franciscans are only too well
aware of how Walcott handled Green in
this city on August 26, 1897. 1t is not
necessary to go into details as Walcott
made a lasting impression on the local
welter-weight. Possibly Green may have
improved in the last year or so, but his
Improvement must have been very mark
ed, indeed. to place him on par with the
aggressive and hard-hitting man known

AT NORTH BEACH PEOPLE PRAY
IT MAY NEVER RAIN AGAIN
Houses Are Flooded
and Boats Ply on
the Streets.

TIME residents Of that portion Of
North Beach known as Harbor
View have quit praying for rain
and are now seriously considering
the proposition of building themselves
an ark, for the waters have risen upon
the land and apparently have given
up all thought of ever receding.
The natives amUse themselves during
the day by rowing around in boats,
collecting such articles of household
furniture as will float and securing
them upon the roof. At night they are
lulled to sleep by the gentle swish of
water under their beds and the croak-
ing of frogs. Morning, noon and night
the contented "quack, quack'' of ducks
may be heard in front yards, where
flowers were wont to bloom, for the
waters from the hills have gathered
themselves together and formed lake
between Baker and Lyon streets from
Lombard street almost to the bay.
The residents in the vicinity say that
the trouble is due to bad sewerage and
the filing in of Government land west
of Lyon street, and the Fair estate
east of Baker street, leaving the
ground between Baker and Lyon
streets in a hole. The heavy rains

Board of Railroad Commissioners will not
consent to an increase of passenger rates

Judge N. Blackstock, who is Railroad

rates had as yet been filed with the

the vivid flash of lightning smote
terror to the hearts of many, who

followed. Very little damage has
been done in town. The force of
the storm, Judging from the ap-
