ship line going out frofai this city. A com
mittee consisting of -George W. McNear,
George A. Newhall and Andrew Carrigan
was appointed to proceed to v Washington
to lay the. matter before ; President Mc-
Kinley. .'The proposition was that, a di
rect steamship line from" this "city should
run to the Philippines. There was .not
enough traffic at; that time to support a
line and ' the committee was to petition
the President to allow, the new line to
transport a portion of, the. army/ supplies
and troops. The . President could give the
committee no definite promises, but he
did give them encouraging • assurances
that the' new enterprise would be assist
ed in every , way. We . expected that . the
line would be given the contract for car
rying the troops and army supplies when
the Government would discontinue 6 Its
of the transportation - of the army pas
sengers and freight to the Philippines.
The board of directors of the Merchants-
Association held a meeting yesterday
afternoon to consider- what measures
would be best to adopt. It was decided to
communicate by telegraph with President
Harriman of the Southern Pacific and
with President Ripley of the Santa Pe.
The directors further decided to seek the.
co-operation of all the commercial bodies
of this city. .
In the meanwhile the other commercial
bodles are not idle. The Manufacturers'
and Producers' Association has decided to
act in conjunction with j the Chamber of
Commerce. William. .M. : Bunker, who is
the representative of the Chamber; of
Commerce in Washington, telegraphed to
George A. Newhall yesterday that Sec
retary Root would render his decision on
Wednesday. The telegram is as follows:
Georga A. Newhall, President of Chamber
of Commerce, . San .Francisco: Secretary of
War Root. returns from New .York on Tuesday.
On Wednesday he will decide to accept or re

Probably If he has assurance that San Fran

BRILLIANTLY ENVIRONED THE OLD FRIDAY NIGHT
CLUB HOLDS ITS FIRST ASSEMBLY OF THE SEASON
NEW YORK, Dec. 5.— A heavy wind
storm.' accompanied by rain and later by
snow, New York to-day and for
a time seriously interfered with all rail- .
road and ! steamship traffic, as well aa
with business in general. Surface car
lines, the elevated railroad and all ferry- -¦
boats were compelled to abandon their
schedules and run as beat they could.
Part of the Third avenue elevated Una
was tied up completely. The tfe-up was
so severe that even the Stock Exchange
began the day. with an extremely small
attendance. ' "
Toward noon the snow ceased to fall. !
but the wind continued high and it be- *
came much colder." The maximum ve
locity of the wind was forty-eight miles \
an hour. Telegraph service was much
hampered by the storm. Both the West
ern Union and Postal companies reported,
that their systems had been shaken up.
The worst conditions for the telegraph!
companies were in New England and la
the Hudson Valley, although business to i
the south was somewhat delayed.
Dispatches from up the State showed...
that the storm was severe in the country,
districts and that the snowfall in the in*.
terior was much heavier than In this city.
During, the storm to-day several barges
that were being towed up the river broka .
adrift near Yonkers and one of them
sank. Three' brothers were on the barge ,
that. sank. One was drowned and th<s
other two. were found on the beach in aa -
unconscious condition.
BOSTON, Dec. 5.— After an unusually
long period of mild weather a storm from
the gulf brought winter to New Englaa J
to-day with great suddenness and for th«.
first time fhis season covered the entire ¦
region with snow- to the depth of eight a
inches.' The storm was severe in South-,
western New. England, where there was
much wire prostration and delay in rail
road traffic. New England received th«
full benefit of a northeast gale, which in
some places attained a velocity of forty*
miles an hour/ The only shipwreck re- .
ported was that of a schooner which ran
on Dog Bar breakwater In Gloucester:
harbor. No lives were lost.
A fishing vessel from Boston, the James j
R. Clark, ran In the breaxers off Man
chester,. Mass., this afternoon, but she la
expected to be pulled out of danger.;
Seven of the twelve men on board landed
in safety. A bad railroad wreck due to
the storm occurred at South Ashburnham,
In which one brakeman was killed and
another fatally injured. ' .
PHILADELPHIA, Dec 5.— The snowy
and ¦ wind storm which swept over tha
eastern part of Pennsylvania during tha
morning abated late this afternoon. Tha_
fan of . snow in this city and surround
ing j country amounted to about four
inches, but the greatest damage was dona
by the high wind (i which at 11 o'clock at
