BALDWIN HOTEL
SITE BOUGHT BY
JAMES |, FLOOD
Nearly Million and a
Half Paid.

The Baldwin Hotel site. concerning the
disposal of which there has been so much
talk and speculation during the past
year, has a. last been sold by Thomas
Magee * Sons, representing Z. J. Bald
win, TO James l.. Flood for 81 425, 600
When Mr.. Baldwin refused TO ratlfy the
first sale or agreement to sell made some
weeks ago, 1t was feared that a long and
vexatious lawsuit would result. This
possibility has been avoided and the sale
just consmmated was largely the result
of the efforts of Judge Tobin of the
Hibernia Bank, which institution holds a
mortgage on Baldwin's properties for
N,6OO,OOO. Judge Tobin urged a CON-
promise, and his advice has been listened
10 with the result that an arrangement
satisfactory TO all parties interested in
the deal has been perfected.
BY the terms of the sale as finally
agreed upon Mr.. Flood becomes the pos
SCISSOR of the entire site formerly occupied
by the hotel, having a frontage of 20J feet
on Market and Eddy streets, 275 feet on
Powell and 1876 on Ellis street. By the
terms OF the first agreement, when Mr.
Baldwin refused 10 sanction. Mr.. Flood
was to pay 81 100000 for the Market and
Eddy street frontage and 175 feet on
Powell and Ellis street corner, with a
1OO-foot frontage on the former and 1876
cn the latter.
AS the matter stands now, Mr.. Baldwin
surrenders all his interests in the prop
erty mentioned, but retains the property
known as the Baldwin Annex, which he
has all along refused TO put on the mar
ket.
Mr. Flood could not be seen last night,
but IL is stated on the highest authority
that he Will at once begin the erection OF
a fine modern building on the site that
will be a credit to the city and fully in
keeping with the splendid location he has
secured. There have been numerous ru-
mors as to the character of the build
ing he would erect provided the deal went
through, and the one that has received
the most credence is that he will put up
a magnificent hotel building to cost in the
neighborhood of $1,000, 600.
Whether the structure that will adorn
the site be hotel or office building, how
ever. the fact remains that the unseemly
eyesore that at present defaces the corner
of Market, Eddy and Powell streets will
soon be wiped out of existence.

100 900 shares. Diligent inquiry in New
York fails TO disclose the number OF
shares that ne individually acquired from
the Stanford interest, or the Hubbard
block OF stock
The surprise OF the year in the railway
world may be in reserve. Operations Of
the syndicate do not point TO actual buy
ers other than Huntington and John w.
Mackay, but there are others. because
from the beginning the syndicate has been
underwriting.
For example Speyer and Huntington
getting an option on 2S5 900 shares OF
Southern Pacific do not close the transac-
ton with the owner until responsible par
ties have signified in writing readiness
TO take a stipulated number OF shares
each at a certain figure. Names of the
actual buyers will not be known until
Speyer and Huntington elect TO disclose
the list. When Speyer & Co. choose to
make known the names Of the capitalists
for whom they have been underwriting
the surprise may come.
The field Of conjecture is so wide that
all kinds OF surmises are sprung. Despite
denials many leading railroad men cling
10 the belief that the Vanderbilts are
some way concerned in this vast deal in
Southern Pacific Company securities.
Again II is surmised that the public will
be invited TO purchase Southern Pacific
as an investment and fha' -

The foregoing message. received n a
late hour last night. was corroborated by
private dispatches from New York. The
exact figure which Hubbard received for
the Searles stock IS not given. but Il va
ries only a fraction of a dollar from $40.
IL Is clear therefore. that the syndi-
cate organized by Speyer and Hunting
ton has invested an additional sum OF FIVE
and half million dollars IN Southern Pa
cinc.
In well posted railway circles IL is said
that Coils =. Huntington regards Cen
eral Hubbard as an exceptionally able
man. whose services cannot well be
spared. The generals superior ability was
displayed IN planning and executing the
reorganization scheme. No doubt II is MI
Hunungton's desire that General Hubbard
shall retain big block OF stock. and con-
tinue his service IN the management of
the big corporation.
When the stock owned by the Crocker
Estate Company was bought by the
Speyer syndicate. the public conjectured
that c. p. Huntington simply desired 10
get in position 10 manage affairs OF the
company 10 suit himself. but when The
Call published exclusively the intelligence
that the syndicate had purchased all OF
Mrs. Stanford's stock in the corporation
IL became obvious TO the popular mind
that the scheme represented something
more than Mr.. Huntington's personal am

A BEGGAR IN LUCK.
His Case Dismissed and a Subscrip-

terday to answer a charge OF begging.

money. The charge against him was dis
missed and a collection was taken up in
court for him. He went away happy.

This is not the first time that Moore has
been arrested for begging. Policeman n
Leonard on May n last arrested Moore

dental Hotel and the Lick House and So

On the day Moore's case was dismissed
Judge Mogan received a letter from
Frank Van Tassel, 1858 Eleventh street
which said. please send Colonel Moore

that he is telling the truth" Moore
seemed pleased, and got Van Tassel's ad-
dress from the Judge and promised to

ANOTHER blessing of annexation
has just been officially uncovered.
When it was stated in Congress that
the annexation of the sugar producing
islands would mean speedy end of
the sugar industry in the United
States, the rabid annexationist hooted
at the idea. Now, an agent of the
Agricultural Department, sent to
Porto Rico to carefully investigate
the subject, makes an official report
saying that the sugar in the United
States is doomed, if Porto Rico, Cuba
and the Philippines are allowed to
send us their sugar free Of duty. He
says the same grade of sugar that
costs 81 cents pound to produce in
the U. S. costs but cents pound to
produce in those islands. This will
be hard nut for the next Congress
to crack.
