safe only in Republican hands.

Complaints to the Management
Have No Effect.
Men and Women Wait in Mud
40 Minutes.

The people of Oakland are dissatisfied
with the service of the city railway and
demand that the company give them
better and a surer service
The complaint is made that the small
est fall Of snow delays traffic on that
line and that the first car does not
reach Oakland until o'clock, and that
cars which are off their time wait at
the end of the line for the next regular
starting time which makes a long delay
Others do not go to the end of the line
but turn back. The complaint is made
that this happens every day. Many say
they are unable to get home on the $50
and 7:30 cars on account of the crowd
ed condition and that the last at night
is always packed to the guards. Many
times passengers can not crowd on and
are compelled to walk. A Santa Fe
shopman in speaking about the car ser
vice to Oakland said: 1--WE are getting
rather tired of the Oakland street car
service-but then, perhaps we are to ac-
commodate the car company instead of
the company accommodating the public.
A car jumped the track on a Saturday
and was allowed to stand there Az
hours before any attempt was made to
place it on the track We walked to
town that night. Saturday, February
II, eleven people were left standing in
Oakland as the crowded car would not
stop. The next car was ten minutes
late, making a wait of 40 minutes, and
arriving at the transfer station at $50
we were late for the theater. Cars are
continually off time and meet between
switches The passengers are cOmpell-
ed to wade through mud and change
cars.
THE conductors and motormen are
4
accommodate the public and cannot in
any way be blamed. They have no lay
over time and consequently cannot
make up lost time when no allowance
is made for stops for passengers. Other
lines have layover time at end of line
and have some chance of making up
lost time The citizens of Oakland pay
the same fare as people living in other
parts of the city and we demand equal
ly good service.
"The people on the Twelfth street line
wait ten minutes while we wait 80 or
more. On other lines when a car breaks
down another is soon at hand. En-
ployeS of the Santa Fe shops must wait
80 minutes for car to Oakland because
one passes the shop just as the whistle
blows. The cars should change their
time or 10 minutes and accommodate
the pubHc-but the management seems
to think we are here to accommodate
the car company.
I'VE have pleaded with the manager
out II mas been OF no use. we have
started from the transfer station at IL
O'Clock at night, break down, so back
to the barn for another car and reach
Oakland at 1 O'Clock in the morning."

HELP FOR PORTO RICO.
Unexpended Balance of Emergency
War Fund Devoted to the
Islands Needs.

New York, March "A Herald special
from Washington says:
To relieve the great distress in Porto
Rico caused by the hurricane, Secre-
tary Root by direction of the presi-
dent, has authorized the use of $1,225,-
900 remaining over from the emergency
war fund. This authorization was made
about ten days ago as the result of a
special report from Major General
Davis, showing the starving condition
of natives. The matter has been kept
very quiet, because in the absence of
a specific appropriation for this purpose
the authorities feared criticism from
of affairs in Porto Rico.
An amendment has been incorporated
in the Foraker civil government Porto
Rican bill providing for the reimburse
ment to the United States out of the
revenues of the island of any moneys
which have been, or which ma be ex-
pended out of the emergency fund of
the war department for the relief of the
industrial conditions of the island
caused by the hurricane Of August IS,
1899. 1t is assumed by the war depart
ment that congress will make this
authorization before the $1,225,000 has
all been expended.
Gen. Davis has been directed to uti-
lie the money in clearing up the plan
tations so that the farmers may pro-
coed with the raising of crops. This
will enable many natives to go to work
at once and thereby put sufficient
money in circulation to temporarily re-
lieve existing suffering.
