in Alfred Bouvlei8, the well-known, theatrical manager who has made so many friends Jin San Francisco, has been elected managing director of the San Francisco Jockey Club. His election took place yesterday and goes into effect immediately. The reopening of lngleside track one week from next Saturday. Is the first duty to which Mr. Bouvier will address himself, and, after that, he will make arrangements for the business of next which he says he will' aim to make successful, when it Is said that a race meeting of ninety days will be givon.

it Is understood that no race of less value than $400 will be decided over the track of the club at lngleside or Tanforan. Mr. Bouvier came to California in 1S86 from St. Louis, his native city. He is very wideawake and courteous and will aid in popularizing the San Francisco Jockey Club with the race-going public.

He was for a long time identified with the old Baldwin Theater. This Is his first connection with the racing business. He does not however, intend to abandon theatrical management. On the contrary, he is now looking for a site on which to build ahew and model theater and he will have the management, on the occasion of its visit' to San Francisco of the Sembrlch Opera Company. MANCHESTER IS SUED BY MISS, KNIGHT.

The Duke of Manchester married and made his bride, the daughter of a Cincinnati pork packer named Zim merman, a duchess. This he did, it is alleged, regardless'of the feelings a young woman who now claims to1 have been his betrothed, and who seeks the only balm for a shattered affection, the verdict of a Jury for damages. The young woman claimant Is Mis Portia Knight, an American who received elocutionary training 'in this city. Yesterday on' his arrival with his wife in Liverpool on a steamer from New York the arhorotis duke was serv ed with a writ for alleged brea.ch of promise. The servicewas unexpected, though It was received with stoical indifference by the man who knows that in the event of his being compelled to pay for wounding the heart of the fair Portia the purse strings of his father-in-law and not of himself will have to be opened.

Miss Knight was educated in the old Snell Seminary in this city, but her home is in Klamath Falls, where her father is an attorney. She was practically taken from the Snell' Seminary into Frederick Wardens Company and given the position of leading lady. Warde had heard her recite some simple piece and was impressed with her capability, i She first Warde in 1895, when he was playing at the old Baldwin Theater. She remain ed with Warde for some time, but was taken ill in New York and spent nearly four years in attempting to regain her health. She went to London and there met Manchester, and, it is claimed that it was during that acquaintance she promised the duke to become his bride.

SOME VOTERS DO NOT: KNOW WHO ASPIRE FOR OFFICE. The Indifference shown by some people In the matter of an approaching election is amply illustrated In numer oui letters received by Mayor Scow during the past few days. In one letter by this morning's mail the Mayor Is thanked by the writer for past kind nesses, and is given the "asurance that 1 will again show my appreciation and gratitude next Monday at the polls by casting my ballot for you." "While I am always gratified more or less to" receive such kindly senti ments from" my friends," saldt Mayor Snow today, "still it goes to show that there are many voters who do not yet know who is aspiring for office."

A dispatch to the Herald from Valparaiso, Chile, says: Because of the serious differences that have developed among the pollttca' parties and strong dissatisfaction with the present Conservative Cabinet, an extraordinary session of the National Congress lias been called. The object of this movement Is to provoke a Cabinet crisis which will lead to the formation of a new Ministry, representing cnly the Liberal elements, which -now form- the controlling majority in Con-; grers. wholly on the electoral convention, which has been endeavoring since Sunday to nominate candidates satisfactory to the Liberals In opposition to Senor Pedro Montt, who is suppcrtcd by the Conserva tives. It is believed the convention will end its session this week without finding a solutloi of.

the difficulty. Such heterogeneous elements as have been brought together, representing all the parties who for a year- have been at odds, could not lops remain in harmony. What result of such a failure will be cannot ba foretold. MARCOVICH TAKES A SHOT AT A BURGLAR.

COLONEL BRADY HIS PET MEASURE. SACRAMENTO, March 1 Colonel Brady of San Francisco repeated a blunder, that was made by Feliz a week or two ago. At the close of the voting upon Brady's bill for the regulation of telephone companies a nieas-ure that has gained much fame during the present session, there were thirty nine ayes recorded just, twoless than were necessary to pass the bill. The Colonel, thinking that he had met de feat, changed hi? vote from aye to no, for the purpose- or moving a reconsid eratlon, whereupon the faithful fol lowers or the author or the measure changed their votes also, and by the time they had finished talking there were only 21 ayes to 47 ndes. The Col onel was somewhat stunned by this follow my-leader-wherever-he goes policy, but upon recovering gave no tlce that -on the ne.t legislative day he would make a motion to reconsider.

If had demanded a call of the House it is thought that his bill would have passed. Union Iron Works 0 Build Two Armored Cruisers; Associated Press Dispatches by The Tribune's Special Leased Wire. WASHINGTON. Mar. 7.

Mr. Mott went into minute questions as to 'Meyers' estimates and' as to how the latter had arrived at his figures. Witness stated that his estimates were -based on figures at which other properties In the respective locations fold for. Professor E. J.

Le Conte was next called by Attorney Moore. The preliminary questions asked him related to his experience in Government work? In 18S6 witness was expert for the city in the matter of estimating the value of the Contra Costa water plant at that time. Mr, Girard there seriously objected ta ft continuances of the method of examination. He declared that the law did not expect the. Council to hear the testimony of all the witnesses the company might produce.

night after night. He remarked thaL the had chosen. Messrs. Mc-tt and another member as leaders in this investr-gatlon, and that they seemed. to allow the hearinrto drag on night after ninht.

Continuing, Prof Le Conte testified that value he placed on the company's plant in 1S8, excUive of land and water rights, was p.72000. He had madg an since then, n4thtrqul'te recently, and gave as a result of his observations. and examinations that the total value of the plant up to 10 Is $4,104,240.37, exclusive of lands, water rights, land damages and the like. That relate wholly to structural matters, pipes, tunnels, water ways, and covers the Contra Costa pla.nt and not the combined plants. Witness had based his estimates cn memoranda and inventories in which he had carefully examined eveiything that could be seen.

A Councilman who had just arrived askod, "What was the- purpose of your employment to estimate the company's plant? yS Professor! Conts replied that thepur- ipose was to get at the cost of coQstruc- ucn since 1886 and up to 3900. Witness then gave a detailed statement cf the varlcus items, precisely the same figures being given as those in the water rate trial. Hehad not progressed very far, however, before Stetson moved that a detailed statement be filed by the wit-cess, i 5t. Attorney Moore regarded It unfair for the Council to proceed that way, bacause this is a public investigation and the people have a right to hear the matters involved brought out. This, he said, is the place to do it all.

and if there hadn't been so much oratory greater progress would have been made in the Investigation. On motion of Stetson Prof. Le Conte's statement was filed. But notwithstanding this, the witness proceeded to read oft the varlousMtems of construction since lS86. He hacr-atoutj concluded when Mr.

Taylor Jlscovered lhat the very data the details of which the Council wished to avoid had been brought, 'in substance the same as during- the water rate trial, arriving at the tctal of $1,104,204.37 for construction from 1SS6 up to January 1, 1D00, not including real estate and relating solely to the Contra Costa plant Attorney Moore suggested adjournment then, it being after 10.rc: o'clock but Stetson remarked he was ready to stay till 12 o'clock, and vihen Mr. Moore wished to reply Stetson said in an audible whLsDer, "If he don't shut his mouth there'll be trouble."

1 (via San Francisco, Mar. 7.) The first Territorial Legislature of Hawaii began its sessions 4n Honolulu on the 20th of last month and has been In session ever since. With both houses In control of the Independent Home Rule, party and containing a majority of native Ha-waiians', the Legislature has already been the scene of some1 remarkable proceeidings, and the end of session promises to ee many very radical measures adopted, among those to which the controlling party is committed being a liquor disiperasary law, a taxation system that will be a combination of single tax and the income tax doctrines; an election law based on proportional representation, and a law excluding from the Territory all persons who may arrive here afflicted-with consumption or leprosy. On the third day of ithe session Secretary of the Territory Cooper was unceremoniously ordered out of the House and escorted out by the ser-geant-at-arms. Acting under the section of the Territorial Act which provides that he shall "record and preserve the laws and proceedings of the.

Legislature," Secretary Cooper took up a place on uhe floor of the House with a stenographer to secure a record of the Representative Beck-ley, Independent, of Molokai, offered a resolution requesting ihim to leave. The resolution eet forth that his presence on ithe floor was a violation of the rule that the three departments of government, judicial," executive and legislative, roust toe kept separate, and it was urged in debate that, Governor Dole had put Cooper where he was with a view to intimidating members, by letting them see that the executive officer was taking a stenographic report of the proceedings. Cooper was declared by Republicans to be present' as a representative of President McKinley, as he had been ordered to transmit a report to but this plea did not deter the Independents. After long debate they passed the Beckley resolution by a vote of 20 to 9, the mine being all the Republicans In the House. It is understood that Cooper has sent to Washington for a ruling as to the gleaning of the instructions given him to send a record.

Chief Justice Frear and Governor Dole, who wre members of the commission that adopted the rule in question, have expressed tho opinion that it intended to provide that no language but English should be spoken. Independents claim that It means that laws and resolutions, thail be In English.
