Our attention has been called to the
fact that Mr.. B. K. Jarrett, one of your
hremen whose salary is fifty dollars
$500 per month, has been for some
time and is now doing blacksmith
work for the department, which is quite
saving to the city; in view of his we
recommend that his salary be increased
to sixty dollars $500 per month, dat.
ing from February l.
In this connection we recommend
that as an inducement to our hremer
to remain with the department. and as
encouragement for good conduct and
faithful service, you establish the fol
lowing rule governing the pay of our
regular fremen, beginning March /
Their salary now being fifty dollars
$500 per month. that after six months
satisfactory service their salary be in
creased to SIS, and at the end of one
years satisfactory service to $50. This
to be the maximum. Respectfully sub
mitted.

Ships Cargo on fire

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 19.-The
brig, w. G. Irwin. hence August Is,
for Roch Harbor, returned to this
harbor today on fire.
Captain Cathley reports that on the
18th of August, at 9 o'clock p. m, he
discovered smoke coming through the
cabin floor.
After searching the hold fire was
located in the forward hatch.
The matches were battered down all
night and on the following morning
were removed.
1t was discovered that the lime
slack in the cargo was on fire. The
vessels bottom and sides were burn
ing and the captain ordered the boats
made ready and provisioned and they
were towed astern of the burning YES
sell On the evening of the same day
fifty cases of giant powder were ta-
ken out of the hold and thrown over
board and the vessels course headed
for this city.

I he attitude of Indifference hither-
to assumed by the Turkish officials to-
wards Rusia's action is giving way to
one of marked concern.
The Porte fears that Russia con-
templates making still more important
demands than contained in. the re-
cent note of NJ. Zinovieff, the Rus
sian ambassador, such as the appoint
ment of a Christian governor general
of Macedonia.
Notwithstanding the warning which
Russia addressed to the Bulgarian
government, it is generally believed
here that the Russian naval demon
stration in Turkish waters will dan
gerously encourage the Macedonians,
who, it is asserted, will interpret Rus
sia's action as being the first step to-
ward intervention in their behalf.

had committed the hold-ups, and that
the party first robbed, on No 220, had
been sent for to return to Lovelock
and identify, if possible, his assailants,
Mr.. Muller wired him that Welch
could identify the men who attacked
him, if they were in the bunch. Late
this afternoon Mr.. Muller received an
other message from the sheriff saying
that a preliminary trial was being
held in Justice Maris' court at Love
lock, and that he would be up on No.
with four of the men suspected of
completely in the hold-ups.
A rumor gained circulation this af-
ternoon that there was strong prob
ability that some of the assailants
were a part of the crowd of escaped
Folsom convicts. There was no
ground for this, however, and nothing
upon which to base the supposition
that they were such.
The latest report from young Welch.
from the county hospital, is that he
is sinking, and that he cannot live
for more than 4 few hours. The
chances all seem against him, and his
recovery would be little short of mir
aculous.

The Reliance and Shamrock swung
lazily at their moorings inside Sandy

the first race of which will be sailed
tomorrow The Shamrock LII merely
returned to her old moorings, the Re-
lance going there for the first time.
The cleaning of the underbodies of
both was completed yesterday morn
ing and Charles d. Mower. the Off
cial measurer of the New York Yacht
club, stretched his steel tape from
truck to deck and from the end of the
bowspirit to the extreme point of the
after-overhang of both racers. AS one
result about eight inches of the spin
maker boom of the Shamrock III was
sawed off, owing to the fact that it
was estimated to be that much long
angle, which covers the head sails of
the yacht, which would mean penal
iZation if allowed to stand Sir
Thomas Upton, as well as Mr. Iselin,
and Designer Herreshoff and Designer
Fife, were interested spectators in the
work of Mr.. Mower. Designer Fife
evidently desired that Shamrock III
should be measured while down by the
stern as much as possible, for every
thing movable, even to the jib sheet
leader blocks, was moved and slowed
amidship. The measuring was COM
pleted at A.: As o'clock and both yachts
were warped out of the basin.
After supper for the crews the tug
Guiding Star took the Reliance in tow,
while the English tug Cruiser per-
formed the same service for the Sham
rock III. both the yachts arriving at
Sandy Hook at about sundown.

attack of appoplexy this morning, and
suffered intensely for time. He was
at the time in one of the Chinatown
residences. DR.. Mangan was summon
ed, and after easing the patient tenn
porarily, called in Doctors Samuels
and Giroux for consultation. The lat

the rush of work at the hospital, but
Dr.. Samuels was present at the exam
ination.
Ii is evident that the old fellow
Is suffering from apoplexy, the present
attack being due to an old injury to

we're in commissions. Both physicians
are agreed that permanent relief can
only be secured by an operation.

Grand Parade of Netrans

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 19.-The
members of the Grand Army of the
Republic held possession of San Fran
cisco's streets for four hours in
great parade today. Flags and bunt-
ing were everywhere.
Although there was little variety of
uniform in the parade, the color fea-
ture was amply furnished by the great
abundance of flags and banners.
Nearly every one of the thousands
in line carried the national emblem,
making the scene most brilliant. The
Illinois delegation attracted much at
tenton, and was probably the largest
of any from the east.
Last. but far from least, came the
California contingent, headed by De-
partment Commander Shafter, who
was cheered all along the line.
About fifty members from Nevada
were marshalled by Post Commander
John Hymers.

FIRST RACE
-..-sAILED TO-DAY
Reliance and Shamrock III
Undergo Official Measure
ment and Comparison
TIME ALLOWANCE EXPECTED
The Reliance is to Give Her
Opponent 1 Minute, 45 Sec
onds In Each Race

NEW YORK, August 19.-The Re-
lance and Shamrock Ill were meas
ured in the Erie basin yesterday by
c. Il. Mower. the official measurer of
the New York Yacht club. AS the re-
suit OF his measurements and caleu-
lations it was announced that the Re-
lance would allow the challenger one
minute and forty-fve seconds over
thirty-mile course. 1t was found that
the Shamrock III was slightly longer
on the water line than the American
boat, but the later proved to have
nearly 1000 more square feet of sail
area than the challenger, and it was
this enormous sail spread that taxed
the American boat so heavily.
The announcement of the time al
lowance in favor of the challenger
caused little surprise at the yacht
club, as it was the very general be-
lief that the Reliance would prove
considerably larger all around than
her opponent Following are the Off
cial figures:
