An easy Journey of 620 milc lies he
fore the fleet, which U scheduled to ar
rive h-re Sind anchor oft t'oroimdn Reach
at I P. M.. on TuesdHV. Admiral Thomas
has allowed 69 hours for the run up the
roast, requiring an average of only nine
knola an hour. The ahipa atarted away
at the URiinl rrulnlnR apeed of ten knots,
however, and will alow down during- the
latter part of the journey. The early
hour of departure .waa tlxed to guard
against the possibility of delay In a fog.
When the ahlps reach San Diego they
will have logged 13.659 knots' ahiee their
departure from Hampton Roads on le-eemlH-r
16 last. The Connecticut has
1240 knots additional to her credit on ac
count of the trip to this, port last week
to bring Admiral ICvaus ashor. and her
subsequent return to Magrialena Tiny.
Kvery coast city from Sun Diego to
San Francisco Is to see the fleet during
the next four weeks. It having been ar
ranged that at all points where no atop
Is scheduled the ships will pass as close
to shore as possible, always being well
within the range of vision of persons
gathered along the bluff 4 and on the
benches. . . .
Plans Lavish Entertainment.
Preparations for the. four days' stay
of the ships nt San Diego are practically
complete and the city la gaily dressed in
flags aud putriottu bunting. In thla com
munity : of 40.000 inhabitants a fund of
nearly J'JO.OOft rm been raised for the
entertainment of the officers and men
nf the Navy. Interest in thr coming of
the ships ts Intense, the strong personal
sentiment telng reflected in the banners
which e e( where wave a "Welcome to
Our Klret."
S;ui liego hsR set an example which
undoubtedly will be followed by all other
fallfornU cities where Admiral Evans
will be unable to participate In the cere
monies, in arruTiKing to pay a distinctly
petonal tribute to Rear-Admiral Thomas,
who will be the senior officer In com
mand here.
Present for . Admiral.
A handsome silver-mounted cut glass
buffet service has been subscribed for
and suitably engraved and will be pre
sented to Admiral Thomas next Wednes

on behalf of Admiral Evans a golden
key to the city, mounted, in native San

InRtou, April II. No ships of any kind
will go to Portland when the battle
ships go to pugct Sound, and as yet
no definite arrangements have been
made for sending; any war vessels to
the Portland Rose Festival, though
every effort will be made to get some
smaller craft there by that time. Sec
retary Mrtcalf told Senator Bourne he
would do his utmost to send some cruis
ers and torpedo craft to Portland
"some time during the Summer," and
that In as oefintte as any assurance
et made.
Aa the cruisers are not going north
from San Francisco with the battle
ships. Portland, r seems, will not ace
ny of those ships during their visit
.0 the North Pacific. 1-ater In the
teason. it is probable, some of the
cruisers will go north and call at Port
land. Mr. Bourne had a further conference
with the Navy Department today. He
fayg the itinerary published of the
ovements of the fleet from san Fran
avo to Pugct Sound applied only to
ttleshlps. and not to cruisers or tor-?do-boats.
Senator Bourne is ti'ylnar
arrange to have the cruisers and
orpedo-boats reach Portland bv June
and remain during the Rose Festival,
is not certain that this can be done,
some of the vessels may have to
docked and overhauled at San Fran
sco before proceeding north.
It Is certain, however. Mr. Bourne
vs. that one and possibly two cruis-
and the torpedo-boat flotilla will
't Portland some time during the
r of the Atlantic fleet In Pacific
T-ra.

SAN FRANi'lsro. April 11. Sneclal.
Two speeles of court reform will be
launched In San Francisco net week, the
Intention being to correct abuses which
have grown up of late years. The ahtwes
ara charged against large corporations
and an especially apparent In damage
suits and cases affecting men with poli
tical pulls. By a peculiar practice of the
courts every plaintiff In a damage suit
against th street railroads. Southern
Pacific and other large corporations has
been compelled to deposit feea to the
extent of 9M a day. On this account a
poor man could not press a damage suit,
or the corporations could drag a case
along until the plaintiff, even if he were
well io do had exhausted his nuances.
This condition will be' corrected as the
result of a meeting of the Superior Judg
held thla afternoon. The fees will not
be required hereafter.
The greatest reforms, however, will be
made in the police courts. Mayor Taylor
has Investigated the methods of the local
police courts and has threatened to re
move the judges unless they correct con
ditions. The Judges hold half a day of
court, then go to the races in the after
noons. They are accused of Axing casea
to suit political friends and of allowing a
gang of corporation Jury bribers to
operate under their very noses.
An a result of the Mayor's aetlon not
a Jury "fixer" was in sight today when
the police courts opened. The lowr
courts were conducted with unaccustomed
dignity.
ORDER FOR GROUP BONDS
Lumber Asoclulion Wins Point
Over the Railroads.
SEATTLE. April 11. The Pacific
Coast Lumber Manufacturers' Associa
tion and the Shingle Mills Bureau won
a significant victory today over the
railroads In securing an order from the
United States Court allowing them to
substitute group bonds instead of one
for 1 2 )0. 01)0 to protect railroads for
rate difference on forest products,
pending a decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission on the reason
ableness of the advanced tariffs.
Judge C. H. Hanford. sitting In spe
cial aegsfon, overruled every conten
tion of the railroad attorneys. He
ordered that Western Washington be
divided Into 12 districts In each of
which two bonds, one to guarantee new
rates on lumber and one for shingles,
are to be filed by shippers In that district.
James B. Kerr, arguing for the rail
roads, claimed that the ruling of the
court will put the small mUlowners
out of business and create a monopoly
for a few rich shippers. Lumbermen
attorneys said the mills would shut
down if their application for group
bonds was not allowed.
