VERY UNPOPULAR
Business Men of SaCra-
mentO Make Protest.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 15.-Much dissat
isfaction is expressed by the travelling
public over the new train arrangement of
the Southern Pacific with reference to
Sacramento, the effect Of which will be
to greatly discommode the people of this
city.
Beginning tomorrow the new overland
fiier is to be put on. Its advent had
been looked forward to with delight, cut
the announcement has been made that
Sacramentans will not be permitted to
ride upon it This of itself was disap-
pointment, but it was nothing to the dis
gust whicn was experienced when IT was
learned that the railroad company in
tended to take off the , p. m. train for
San Francisco and substitute d train at
4:05 D. m whose course to San Francisco
would be dependent upon the time the
down Oregon express would strike Da-
visville, some twenty miles west Of Sac
ramento.
To wait upon the uncertainties of an
overland train certainly does not strike
the people Of city as large and i'm
portant as Sacramento as either desirable
or fair, and strong pressure will be
brought to bear upon the Southern Pacific
officials to consider the wants of the vast
number of people who regularly make
trips for business and pleasure between
this city and the metropolis. 1t is true
that there remains the west bound over
land, due at 400 p. m. and leaving at $40
p. m, but il is habitually late. sometimes
being three and four hours behind time,
and quite generally from half an hour
to one hour.
The feeling in the business community
has awakened action by the Chamber Of
Commerce, as will be seen by the follow
ing letter addressed to the passenger de-
partment Of the Southern Pacific:
r H Goodman. General Passenger Agent.
Southern Pacific Company, San Francisco.
Cal-Dear Sir: Referring to your time
card: The present local OF .. m. which
was sure to leave time and arrive in San
Francisco at p. m. is abandoned. 1t was
literally patronized because people
very fond of arriving in san Francisco in
time to go to the theater call on their
friends In lieu OF this train. get a train
which leaves here al 4:05 p. m. and runs to
Davisville and waits there for the Oregon
train to arrive. In other words. the traveller
in the afternoon is entirely dependent for his
arrival in San Francisco upon the said Oregon
train and the $40 Overland train, which are
often late.
This is the worst accommodation our city
has ever had. and the afternoon travel was
never greater. All who use the railroad Will
toin IN our request TO you TO restore the local
2 p. m. train. which has given such satisfac-
tion.
We make no comment on the new 2:l5 fast
train westward access to which is forbidden
US. Very truly yours.

Colonel Dady's Sensational
Statement Regarding Ha-
vana Contracts.
REPORT SUPPRESSED
Told if He Would Do Something for
the Right Parties His Contract
Would Stand.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Malor General
William Ludlow. military governor of
Havana, viii receive leave of absence TO
visit Washington in December and one OF
his close friends in this city is authority
for the prediction that he will not return
TO Cuba
Should this prediction prove to be well
founded, General Ludlow's retirement
from his present office will be due 20
events which throw light on the retire
ment Of General Alger from the War De-
partment.
The story Of these occurrences centers
about the contract of Michael ]. Dady &
co. for sewering and paving Havana
colonel Dady, who is one Of the Republi-
can leaders in Kings County, New York,
pegan MS negotiations with the city of
havana for this work in 1894, when the
havana Common Council invited pro-
lvsais 4OI a system OF sewers and pave
ments. Colonel Dady submitted eighteen
proposals. one of which was accepted
cndeT mis- contract he was to receive
about $4,000 900 in fifty-year bonds, to be
redeemed in annual payments.
When General Ludlow was made mill
tary governor of Havana Colonel Dady
applied 10 him for permission TO proceed
under his contract. General Ludlow sent
him to Washington and told him TO see
General AlSer. The latter told him TO go
back TO General Ludlow who again sent
him to the Secretary of War.
Colonel Dady was informed at this
do something for the right people" his
contract would be all right. He turned a
deaf ear TO these suggestions and insisted
ON an investigation.
All these reports We're plgeOnholed in the
ar Department, and Secretary Alger
and General Ludlow, it is asserted. re-
fused to allow anything to De done either
IN Havana or in this city.
Then Colonel Dady demanded that the
matter be laid before the Presidents Cab
met for decision
Secretary Alger promised to present the
matter to the Cabinet on certain day
On the day after the designated meeting
he wrote a letter 20 Colonel Dady saving
the case had been brought before the Cab
met and that the Attorney General had
given specific report adverse to Dady's
interests.
Three members of the Cabinet are au-
thor!ty for the assertion that both the
statements We're absolutely false. General
Alger did not bring the matter up and the
Attorney General made no report. 1t was
predicted at this time that Secretary AL
ger could not long remain a member OF
the Cabinet Of whose deliberations he
wrote false reports.
He left the department one week later
for mis- trip TO Michigan to inaugurate his
boom for the Senatorship. When he re-
turned he found the department under the
virtual control Of Assistant Secretary
Meikejohn ana Adjutant General Corbin.

EUROPEAN LABOR SCARCE.
Hawaiian Planters Object to the I'm
migration Laws.

HONOLULU. Oct. s.-The Cabinet re-
Gently considered a petition from the
Planters Association to eliminate a clause
in the immigration rules requiring that 10
per cent Of all contract labor
ers brought into the country shall be
Europeans or Americans. The point ia
that bond is required for the compliance
with this rule, and the same is forfeited
If the proportion named is not adhered to
The planters want this bond requirement
annulled.
In their memorial to the Cabinet the
planters represented that they had ex-
pended every effort to carry out the pro-
visions of the law, but were wholly un-
able to do SO. The troubles with the
Galicians. Italians and Portuguese were
cited as instances of the hardships en-
countered.
The Government decided that, while the
planters had acted in good faith in their
endeavors to secure American and Euro
pean laborers. it did not feel that 1t had
the authority to eliminate the clause re-
ferred to- holding that the authority rest
ed with the Legislature only.
