TEND BAR IN ARMY BLUE.

The front door, of the Preside had
resumed its wonted daytime quiet yes
and the official records at the post con-
tain no evidence that bowling mob had
ragged through the saloon-lined streets
just outside the Preside gates.
In the Police Court, however, there was
a different story. Judge Conlan convicted
thirteen of the fifteen soldiers arrested by
the police on charges of disturbing the
peace. He deferred sentence till this
fers to have them punished in camp Judge
Conlan will give them heavy sentences.
Colonel Rawles is bitter toward the
Police Commissioners for permitting
saloons of the character common along
Greenwich and Baker streets to do busi-
ness at the very gates of the Presidio
Tarpey'S place was only recently opened.
G. Z. Ritter, who was recently refused a
license, has built new place across the
street from Tarpey's and has secured a
saloon license. There are fifteen saloons
in the vicinity and at least twelve of them
are dives that are a constant menace to
the peace of the Preside.
IF the municipal authorities" said
Colonel Rawles, would suppress a lot Of
these hell holes it would be a source of
great satisfaction to us here at the post"
The existence of the dives licensed by
the Police Commissioners at the Preside
gates is a cause of disorder that is further
aggravated by a condition of things that
Colonel Rawles cannot charge to the civil
authorities. William Ross, the soldier
or otherwise, of the Christmas riot, serves
Uncle Sam as a private of the Seventieth
Coast Artillery and when he goes off duty
he tends bar for Dave Tarpey in the uni
form of Uncle Sam. David C. Tarpey, son
of the saloon man, is a member of the
Hospital Corps. He also tends bar in the
army blue and would have been in the
melee last night except that at present he
is sick in the general hospital. He has
eleven months to serve yet, after which
he says, he will become proprietor of the
saloon. The license stands in his father s
name only because he could not take one
out while in the service.
Asked If 1t were permissible for a SOL
dier to tend bar when off duty, Colonel
Rawles said yesterday that it certainly
was not.
1.-The fact has not come to me officially" !"
Colonel Rawles continued Il heard of II
only through the papers. 1t will be In
vestigated and a stop put to such thrift -
Ross was not seriously injured by the
knife cut in the back and yesterday morn
ing he was discharged from the hospital
and sent back to duty.
Major ]. B. Hickey, in command of the
four troops of the Eleventh Cavalry now
at the Presidio, yesterday investigated
Ross charge that a corporal of the
Eleventh was the man who stabbed him.
Major Hickey found that none of his men
was concerned in the riot and Ross adj
mitted to him that he did not know that
the man belonged to that regiment. AS
there are cavalrymen among the
"casuals," who were most numerous
among the rioters, Major Hickey Is con-
vinced that the corporal who Stabbed
Ross belongs in that camp

shown in its thirteenth report, January 1,
1897, that the civil service act did not in
tend that incompetent persons should be
retained in office. The authority of re-
moval and its exercise for proper reasons
are necessary for the discipline and the
efficiency of the public service. The pow
er of removal is not affected by the law
or the rules further than that they pro-
vide that removals shall not be made for
political or religious reasons.
THE rule of the President July q, 1897

of preventing political or religious re-

STEAMER CARGO

Shinano Maru Arrives
in Port With Blaze in
Her Hold.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SEATTLE, Dec. 26.-The Shinano Maru,
Of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, arrived in
Port Townsend harbor at 4 o'clock this
morning with fire in her hold. A hurri-
cane was blowing at the time and her
signals of distress were not responded to
from shore until after daybreak British
Vice Consul Oscar Klocker then put off in
the steamer Wildwood, and, running
alongside, learned from the captain that
the flames were consuming his cargo. Al
though by the hard work of the crew the
blaze had been well confined, it had been
impossible to suppress it.
Meager details of the Shinano's plight
were brought to Seattle this even
ing by storm-belated steamers arriving
from Port Townsend. The hurricanes of
Christmas night prostrated telegraph and
telephone wires to all down-Sound points,
When the Wildwood put back from her
visit to the japanese liner she met the
steamer North Pacific, just starting for
Seattle, and passed the information.
The steamer Alice Gertrude, leaving
Port Townsend shortly after the North
Pacific, brought word that when she left
the Shinano was pulling alongside of one
of the city docks, presumably to get
within reach Of the local Fire Depart
ment.
F. NJ. Studley, Seattle agent of the
Nippon Yusen Kalsha left for Port
Townsend on a chartered tug imme-
diately on receipt of the news. He ex-
pected before reaching that city to over
haul the tug Pioneer, which is bound
down the Sound and which is fully
equipped for fire fighting He carries or
ders for the Pioneer to render all pos
sible assistance.
The Shinano left Seattle on December
Is bound for Oriental ports. She carried
a cargo of Great Northern freight valued
at $400, Co., consisting chiefly of -four cot
ton, machinery and structural steel.

Shooting.
The Slapping of a Girls Face
Causes Quarrel Among

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN RAFAEL, Dec. 26.-Word was re-
ceived here this morning of a probably
fatal shooting affair at the AIbOrgia- ranch
at Point Reyes, in which Ben Alcantra
and Joseph AIborgi were shot. The name
of the man who did the shooting Is un-
known here and he is still at large,
though the Sheriff and his deputies are
making a vigorous hunt for him.
Last night Michael AlbOrgta gave a
Christmas party. Among those he in
vited was Alcantra, who Is a Country
Club gamekeeper, and two wOOdchOppers,
whom he had recently hired. In the
course Of the evening it is said that one
of the woodchOppers took OfenSe at
some fancted slight offered him by Gia-
coma, a daughter Of his host, and slapped
her face. The father interfered and grap-
pied with his daughters assatlant. AL
cantra tried to separate the two men,
when the smaller woOdchopper struck at
Alcantra, knocking him down The wood
choppers then left the house.
After several hours they returned. Al
cantra told the larger man that he owed
the host and his daughter an apology.
This he agreed to and was in the act OF
shaking Alborgis hand when his COM
paniOn stepped up to Alcantra and fired
a shot through his abdomen. He fired
another shot, breaking Joseph Alborgis 3
arm. In the ensuing excitement he made
his escape in the darkness.
Sheriff Taylor was notified this morning
and left Immediately for the scene Of the
shooting. Alcantra> was removed to San
Francisco. 1t is said he cannot live.
