H. Bentley of the chamber of commerce has taken up the task of providing the war depart ment of the United States with all the information available in San Fran cisco that the department requires preliminary to considering the advis ability of putting on a line of steam ships to compete with the Pacific Mail between the isthmus of Panama and San Francisco and other Pacific coast ports. A committee has been ap pointed by Bentley, with Captain Wil liam Matson as chairman, and includ ing George D. Gray and James Mc- Nab. This information has been asked for by Joseph L. Bristow. who was ap pointed a special commiFeloner by President Roosevelt two years ago to 3ook into the steamship service between American ports, and Is now under in strur^jons by th«; war department to ;>ro<*ee<3 further along the same lines. BBISTOW MAKES I.VQ.UIRY •1 am advised by the secretary of war," Bristow has written to the cham bers of commerce of San Francisco, Lcs Angeles, San Diego, Portland. Seat tle and Taroma, "that while the service of the Pacific Mail steamship company has not be*n withdrawn, that P l£^, is very unsatlf factory. He has advised me to take a further Inquiry as to the advisability, of the government estab lishing a steamship line between' the Pacific coast ports of the United States and Panama. - At first it was supposed that the In quiry would deal largely and to a cer ra!n extent exclusively with the ques tion of- how much freight pro vided by the government as a canal builder end -in its capacity of furnish irg' supplies for the great naval and military plants to be located at Fan Francisco and for the insular pos sessions of the United States in the Pacific would move by sea. Now it [s developed that the scope of the pro posed governmental line of steamships is much wider. OX SHIPMENTS Bristow has submitted a list of ques tion* to the several chambers of com merce of the PacMc coast regarding all *ort» of freight that canbe' moved by sea, as follows: "What kind of freight originates in Fan Francisco and the vicinity within its commercial radius for shipment to the eastern part of the United States and Europe? "What part of this freight could be *uccesEfully transported by way of Panama? "Are there any articles of such freight that it would not be prac ticable to ship by way of Panama? If »\u25a0\u25a0>, please name the articles and the reason why shipment by way of Pana ma .would be impracticable. "What percentage of the freight that could be successfully shipped by the way of Panama is transported by that route? What part by th« EtraiU of Magellan? "What part by th« trans continental railroads? "Please state in detail why any part of the freight that it is practicable to chip by the way of Panama, is not shipped by that route. "What are the principal articles of freight shipped from San Francisco to points, cast of the Allegheny moun tains? What are the principal articles of freight that are shipped from San Frasclsco to the Mississippi valley? What are the freight rates charged on each of the principal articles of such freight? "What are. the principal articles of freight received at Can Francisco from Europe, the eastern coast of the United Stat«s and th» Mississippi valley? What are the freight rates charged on the principal articles V I.VFOH.MATIOX IS SOUGHT These are followed by a series of other questions, . in which it is asked pointedly as follow*: - "If a large part , of the freight that rould be shipped by way of Panama is shipped by. other routes, please state the .reason?"; "What.

Speed was of the utmost importance, as the -residents of San Rafael and other- towns dependent upon the supplies of the Marin com pany were threatened with a water famine. A large number of men was sent to the ranch by the Marin company,. as it believed that a battle might be waged for possession. conclusion was based upon the assertions made by A. E. Shaw, attorney for the Lagunitas and' Spring Valley companies, that the water sources .used by the Marin com pany belonged -to the corporation that he represents and that it meant to keep interlopers but. \u0084'TVe will put as many men on the ranch as the ..

' ~ f *L* He. asserts. that. he,' as representati\"« of the_ company, had not been served with any notice of the granting of the temporary injunction and that the first intimation his company v had received of the order came last Thursday Rafter noon, when the flow of water through the pipe Jines,- which are led over the Berri ranch property, suddenly stopped.

The meeting of the union m*n"s good ; government club will be held tonight at 677 McAllister street. The club w*s organized in three unions that hav'e«a. combined membership of approximately 5,000 registered voter*. It started with a membership of several hundred, and it was: then decided to throw its roM open to all union labor men. It' is confidently...^ asserted by prominent labormen that fully 5,000 card holders will be enrolled for Taylor. Langdon and good government before the cam paign- closes. The magnetism of a youthful candi date, upon which Ryan and his advisors relied to attract the young men of San Francisco to the Ryan ticket, has failed to materialize. Tha young men of San Francisco have declined to rally to 'the Ryan " standard with most perverse unanimity. • -. - - The failure of the anticipated- army of young men to show up at the Ryan camp immediately after the "work of the Ryan convention was finished was not at first taken seriously by the man agers, whose stock of optimism was then almost untouched. They decided that the young 'men of San * Francisco were diffident, perhaps. Thanks to'th* lnexparisnce' of youth j , they did not know how to get on 'the Ryan band wagon.'. . The way must be pointed — made easy for the thousands of young
