THE CLIPPER SHIP TACOMA TO BE ADDED TO THE TRANSPORT FLEET.
UNCLE SAM Is after the fast Amer- ,
lean ship Tacoma, and the chances i
are. that in a -few days she will be I
added to the list of transports. She
was examined by Major Long last
Thursday, but as- very little of her cargo
of coal had been taken out at that time
a thorough inspection could not be made.
: In a day or bo nearly all her cargo will
havi?. been discharged, and then the. ves
sel will be again examined.
It is the Intention of the Government
to send a consignment of horses and
mules to Manila on the Tacoma. In her
lower hold she will carry stores for the
army and in her 'tween decks the ani
mals will be quartered. The vessel is
splendidly adapted for the business into
which she is going, being a fine sea
boat, -well ventilated and roomy, and a
"fast sailer. She 13 the first of a lleet of
sailing ■ 'vessels to be put on th>;
Ve.r;.h. for Manila, and the majority of
the. seafaring men on the front sa"y that
the." wind-jammers will make as good time
to the Philippines as the steamers.

PROTEST AGAINST
ANY EXTENSION
THE CENTRAL PACIFIC DEBT
SHOULD BE PAID.
The Committee of Fifty Strongly
Urges That the Law Bb Allowed
to Take Its Course.
At a meeting of the committee of fifty,
held in the Mayor's office yesterday, the
■ matter of the refunding of the Central
Pscific and Western Pacific ' debts, now
amounting to over $51,000,000, was serious
ly discussed. After a lengthy debate It
' vras decided to send the following dis
patches to the California representatives
at Washington:
SAN FRANCISCO. July 2, 1898.
At a meeting to-day of the committee of :lfty
at the Mayor's office we were lnati*U(*te4 to
protect against any legislation extending the
payirent of the Central Pacific debt: to urge
'on you to let the law take its coarse, which
means foreclosure If the debt )>i not forth
with paid." - -

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2, 1838.
Hon. James G. Ma^rulre and delegation,
Washington, D. C. : Please present the pre
test of the committee of fifty to the House
and conferees. We earnestly protest against
■any extension of time to the Central Pacific
r for the payment of the debt. San Francis -o
i has been successfully deprived by this corpo
1 ration and Its allies of a competing roa 1. and
we should Improve this opportunity to give
the city and State the benefit of independent
service, and at the Fame time break the mc
nopoly;." . JAMES D. PHELAN, Mayor.
A letter from John T. Doyle, protest
ing against any extension of time, was
re.^d and will be forwarded to Washing
ton. It is as follows:
!■■ The press' reports having announced the
] passage by the Senate of the House deficiency
-.bill with an amendment authorizing a com-
J mission of executive oftlcers to settle Lhe in
i-debtedneSH to the Government growing' out of
] the issue of bonds In aid of the construction of
1 the Central Pacific and Western Paclllc rail
• mads, upon terms to be agreed upon with the
owners of Bald roads, we earnestly protest
' against said legislation as a distinct discrim
ination in favor of dishonest debtors, who, an
. shown Xxy the report of a Congressional com
mission, have already defrauded the public out
of millions and cruelly oppressed the people of
this Coast for a quarter of a century, and now
shrink from a determination of the sum due
by them by the courts of the country in the
ordinary cource of justice. We condemn it as
■ unjust, impolitic and a premium on dishonesty.
I Recognizing, however, in the condition of Con
! gresslonal business at the end of the long ses
sion and in the presence of a foreign war. the
Imminent danger of its passage as part of the
deficiency bill, wo earnestly entreat the friends
of Justice in the House of Representatives, and
.especially our own Representatives in Congress,
to at least secure tlw amendment of the follow
ing gross defects in the measure as It stands:
First— lnsert a provision requiring the can
cellation or forbidding the confirmation of the
■ existing or any similar lease of the road to the
Southern Pacific Company, and requiring it to
be operated independently ns a competing road.
Second— Limit the time within which the com
mission must exercise its powers to the "first
Monday of December next.

or without removal. J. Noonan, 1017-1023 Mission.
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JULY 3, 1898.
Packers' Association and was only re
cently withdrawn from the Atlantic trade.
A year ago she was carrying wheat to
Europe, and then went to Puget Sound
with a general cargo. While lying at Ta
coma experts sent north by the Packers'
Association examined the vessel and ge
cided to purchase her. When the nego
tiations were completed Captain Davis
was sent north and brought the vessel
to San Francisco. Since then she has
made a couple of trips to the Sound un
der the association's flag.
When the Tacoma came here in 18S5
she was the finest American ship afloat,
and even now there are very few her
equal. She cost in the neighborhood of
$175,000 to build, and her equipment is of
the best. She is fitted out like a yacht
and her cabin is furnished more luxuri
ously than that of any other American
sailing vessel afloat.
The Tacoma is a three-masted skysall
clipper ship and was built at Bath, Me.,
by the Sewalls in 18S1. She is 173S tons
gross burden, 222 feet long, 41 feet broad,
29 feet deep, and as sound as a dollar.
DRIVERS COMPLAIN
OF BAD PAVEMENTS
SEBIOUS INJUBIES TO HOUSES
OF DAILY OCCURRENCE.
Sutter Street, Between Stcckton and
Grant Avenue, the Scene of
Many Accidents.
Vigorous complaint is being made by
persons who find it necessary to drive
either east or west on Sutter street, be
tween Stockton and Grant avenue.
Between the tracks of the Sutt&r street
railroad the basalt block pavement has
been worn smooth until it has acquired
the polish and slipperyness of glass.
Outside the rails the street Is paved with
the old style cobblestone, sharp as to
point and presenting the worst possible
footing for horses. ', St
The smooth pavement between the rails
is the cause dally of serious accidents to
horses. On Wednesday a well-known
physician was driving over the street, on
his daily round of visits. One of hla
horses fell and pulled his mate down with
him. A let of one of the horses wa»
broken, necessitating his being destroyed.
Owing to the steep grade In this block
and the great amount of traffic over it,
it is one of the most dangerous
places in the city.
It is not the only one with which fault
has been found. There, are many sucn
places on the Market-street system. The
horsemen are not the only ones who are
raising their voices in protests. The
wheelmen have also entered- their com
plaints. There are places ; where the
pavement has been laid, improperly, on
an incline. When the unsuspecting wheel
man rides upon these unawares a fall
is inevitable. This is especially % true if
the roadbed is damp from either fog 01
the recent passage of the sprinkling cart.
Efforts will be made to correct these
abuses, especially where they are flagrant
and imperil the lives of persons using:
them.
ALONG THE WATEB FRONT.
The Troubles of the City of Dawson
Transferred to the Courts.
The trouble between Birch & Co. and
the owners of the steamer City of* Dawson
has been transferred to the courts. Every
thing was quiet around the vessel yester
day and the unfortunate shareholders
who have their money tied up in the ven
ture have gone back to their homes to
wait until the matter is settled.
The handsome Now York pilot schooner
Thomas S. Negus is to make an excursion
around the bay and out to the heads to
morrow. She came here with gold hunt
ers and is a safe and speedy vessel.
Fire alarm box 15 has been put In at the
ferries and until after the Fourth one of
the fire tugs will be stationed in the ferry
Blips to answer an alarm of fire.
Bonds "Under Investigation.
The bonds of Elsie Williams and Grace
Loose, now under arrest for extorting
money from Captain Nevills, were under
investigation yesterday morning by Judge
Carroll Cook. Several affidavits were
filed by residents of Fresno County re
specting property belonging to the bonds
men of the defendants. Judge Cook will
take the matter up again on July 5. I
I The chances are that she will not be seen
in San Francisco again for some time.
| After discharging her cargo at Manila she
1 -will probably be turned into an hospital
i ship, for which purpose she is partlcu
i larly well fitted. "The Tacoma is just
the ship the Government wants," said an
old sea captain yesterday. "She will
make a fine transport and a first-class
i hospital ship. What they ought to do is
I to send her to the Straits of San Bernar
dino, between the islands of Luzon and
I Samar. There either the Brutus or Nero
j could pick her up and tow her to Manila.
! In that way the voyage would probably
| not take longer than forty days. If a tow
! boat is not used, however. Bhe will hay«
to go by the way of the Rullingtangchan
! nel, and then she will probably take two
j months getting to Manila. The southwest
monsoons will blow from now to next
September, and In. the Ballingtang chan
nel she will meet with head winds air'
a very strong current. There she will
meet the nastiest kind of squally weath
er, and one minute will have a fine sail
ing breeze and the next a dead calm. If

tania Will be added to the fleet of trans
ports in a few days. She brought down
from Nanaimo, B. C. a few days ago
over 6000 tons of coal and is now discharg
ing: at Port Costa. Yesterday Major Ruh
len, chief quartermaster; Captain H. Z.
Howard and F. C. Mills went to Port
Costa on the tug Reliance to inspect the
vessel. Captain Howard is the Govern
ment's superintendent of transports, and
Mr. Mills represented John Rosenfeld's
Sons, the owners of the boat. The big
Bteamer was found to be eminently fitted
for a transport. She will carry 4300 tons
of storos and coal in her lower hold and
room can be easily made for 1300 troops
in her 'tween decks. She can be got
ready almost as Quickly as a passenger
steamer and would be ready to leave for
Manila in a fortnight.
The Titania flies the Norwegian flag,
and if chartered by the Government she
will, of course, receive an American reg-
Istry. Captain Howard says she ig In
perfect condition and will be able to keep
up with ■ the other transports «asi!y.
The Centennial is to be again inspected
by the Government, and the prospeets^are
that she also will carry troops to Manila.
She will probably go on the drydock next
Tuesday, and when she comes off it
would not take long to get her ready for
the expedition. The inspectors of hulls
and boilers have allowed her boilers a
pressure of sixty pounds to the square
Inch and that will give her far more
speed than the Government requires.
The Pennsylvania is now out eighty-five
days from Philadelphia and should have
been in several daya ago. On May IT she
was in Montevideo with her machinery
damaged, but on June T she was at Coro
nel. Directly she arrives she will be
docked and discharged. Then she will be
got ready as quickly as possible for the
Manila trip.
The • work of getting the Puebia and
Peru ready has progressed rapidly and
now the workmen are to*ake a rest-un
til after the Fourth. There is no hurry
in getting them ready, as the date of the
departure of the next fleet of transports
is problematical.
