vantage of this permission with a venge-
ance, and on Sunday morning when the
representatives of the Cushing -Wetmore
Company were sleeping soundly Grays'
men were busily engaged in laying the
sidewalk, which would virtually block the
Cushing-We Company's only access
and egress to Chestnut street. At each
end of the sidewalk three stout piles were
driven into the sidewalk to prevent teams
passing over the sidewalk.
When Gushing g-Wetmore's laborers ar
rived yesterday morning they attempted
to tear away the sidewalk, and Grays'
men stood hard by to prevent their rivals
from undoing their work. Harsh words
were passed and some angry threats
made, but Sergeant Christianson and his
squad soon quelled the disturbance The
matter will be taken into court.
Patrolmen McGoYern, Freel, Connor and
Peshon were detailed to protect the prop
erty of both firms and keep the peace un-
til the matter Is decided by the courts.
Late yesterday afternoon the Cushing
Wetmore Companys laborers tore up the
Objectionable sidewalk on authority fur
nished them by a written order from
Mayor Phelan. The work of removing
the obstruction was carried on under the
surveillance Of the squad of police in at
tendance, and no resistance was offered
by Gray's men. A representative of the
Cushing -Wetmore Company stated last
night that to-day they would enter suit
against Gray Brothers for $4,000 damages.

CON TRACTORS IN
A LIVELY WAR
OVER QUARR|ES
Gray Brothers Shut
Out Their Rivals.

Two rival contracting companies and
their laborers came within an ace of be-
coming tangled in the throes of fierce
combat at the foot of Telegraph Hill yes
terday forenoon, and had it not been for
the timely appearance Of Sergeant Chris
tianson and squad of police there might
have been urgent need for the ambulance
and perhaps the Morgue wagon.
The quarrel that has been waged long
and bitterly between Gray Brothers and
the Cushing Wetmore Company reached
q climax and the laborers of both com
panies reported for duty yesterday morn
ing armed to the teeth and thirsting for
gore.
Gray Brothers and the Cushing Wet
more Company have been busily engaged
for the last few years tearing big holes
In the rocky sides OF Telegraph Hill. Their
uuarries at the base of the hill between
Lombard and Winthrop streets are ad-
joining and the boundary line has been
a bone Of bitter contention.
About u week ago Gray Brothers blasted
the extreme western end of their quarry
and the falling rocks and debris blocked
a road which was used by the teams OF
In and out of their quarry from LOMBARD
street This move on the part OF Gray
Brothers forced their rivals to use Win
throp street as a thoroughfare to their
quarry.
Under the provisions of an ordinance
passed by the Board Of Supervisors on
July "A, Gray Brothers were granted per-

LAST REPORT OF THE
SURGEON GENERAL
REORGANIZATION OF MEDICAL
DEPARTMENT, N. G. @.
DR.. John Gallwey Tells Of the In
creased Efficiency of This Branch
Of the State Service.

DR.. John Gallwey, surgeon general of
the National Guard of California, has
forwarded to General John Dickinson
report of the medical department OF the
Guard since it's reorganization. When DR..
GalIwey left for Europe recently he was
too i'll to complete the report before his
departure. In the document the surgeon
general reviews the condition of his de-
partment prior to the appropriation by the
State Legislature for It's improvement,
medical and surgical branch and the
equipment and supplies were anything
hut good The bill, which appropriated
$1,000, also provided for the creation of i
sanitary corps as a staff department, a
surgeon general as an executive mead,
medical examining boards and for trans
ference and enlistment of men into the
corps, and all to be properly equipped.
The reorganization was duly effected,
strength of the corps, including. naval
militia, now consists of 20 commissioned
officers. II non-commissioned officers and
12l priVates. By the exercise Of much in
genuity the purchase of equipment was
made to come within the limit of the APP
preparation DR.. Gallwey in his report
says that at the outbreak of the Spanish
War the society gave to the Sanitary
Corps, n. G. c., a sum of money for the
purpose of equiping the medical depart
ment of the California regiments with
service. fhis money was judlciously ex-
u,
the commander in chief the entire equip
ment was turned over to the Government
for the use of the United States Volun-
teer service, and DR.. Gallwey adds: II
can safely assert from personal obServa-
ton that no volunteer regiment at San
Francisco possessed an equipment equal
to that of the California Volunteer reg-
ments. In q report to the sur
geon general United States army, Colonel
Middleton made special mention of the
virtues Of the above-described equip
ment."
Special mention is made Of the various
camps of instruction held in 1897, where
the corps received much practical knowl..
edge and some experience IN the line of
field and hospital service. In the work
of reorganization much. credit is due to
the many executive officers of the Ma
tional Guard for advice and assistance,
and though the reorganization has borne
good fruits, there is still much to be
done. In concluding his report DR.. Gall
wey states that professional not social
qualifications must be the test upon
which commissions should be issued, and
that "the discharge of social and political
debts should not be permitted to disturb
the officers of proved ability in the med
ical department"

Seldom has the Grand Opera house
contained such a delighted audience ag
the one last night, when Won Suppe'S
comic opera, "Boccaccio,' with its spark
ling music, was produced William Wolff
as the grocer, Arthur Wooley as the
cooper and Winfred Goff as the barber
kept up the fun, and many times the
audience was confused with laughter
by their broad and catchy humor The
trio in the first act was encored six or
seven times. Arthur WOoley'S song with
the coopers' chorus was also repeated
several times. Edith Mason as Boccaccio,
Julie Cote as Fiametta. Hattie Belle
Ladd as Leonetto and Bertha RicCi as
Peronella were in excellent voice and
Thomas H. Persse as Pietro was as usual
pleasing. George Cooper made her first
appearance as Isabella and was the re-
cipient of numerous bouquets. The
choruses were well rendered and the evo-
lutions Of the chorus girls in the last act
called forth loud applause. The opera
went with a swing and there should be
crowded houses during the week.
