President Jones then read his inaug-
ural address, reviewing the work accom-
plished by the Chamber since its organ
ization, and pointing out lines in which
future efforts might well be directed.
The address was warmly received by
the Chamber, and it was moved and car
ried that the daily papers be asked to
give it publication.
It is to be regretted that owing 10 the
lack of space in the columns of the HER.
AID at the time when the copy was
brought to this Office, its publication had
to be omitted.
None OF the standing committees were
ready to report. The Secretary made a
statement of the financial condition of
the Chamber to the effect that it was out
of debt.
Mr.. w. E Hughes brought up the
question of depository for the State
funds collected in Southern California,
and moved that it be referred to the
Committees on Legislation and on Money
Loans, etc. It was carried.
Major e. w. Jones was elected as
delegate to the. Southern California
Chamber of Commerce, the meeting OF
which is TO take place to-day. w. e
Hughes and G. E. Day were also chosen
to serve as additional delegates.
T. G. Narramore proposed that steps
be taken to bring about the establish
ment of tree-planting day in the county
and other action which would tend to
establish the planting Of orchards and
shade and fuel trees. 1t was referred to
the Committee on Agriculture to report
as soon as possible to the Board of
Directors.
The meeting then adjourned.

At 7 80 O'Clock last night abouta thou
sand people assembled on Market street
in answer to call for mass meeting in
the interest of the unemployed working
men. Mr.. B. Fehneman opened the
meeting, and stated that a number Of
people had discharged their Chinese
help and employed white people. He
announced that there would be parade
on Sunday next.
MIR. Scho6eld urged organization. He
said that the employment of the Chinese
was one cause for the lack of work for
the white people here, and it was the
duty of every laborer to protect and urge
his rights. He advised that those in his
hearing have nothing to do with those
who employ Chinese.
MIR. w. A. Cole asked how many we're
present who were opposed to Chinese,
and everyone present answered in the
affirmative. He said that from present
appearances they were not, because the
Chinese we're supported by money fur
nished by them. This should be stopped
and they should refuse to eat food co, ketl
by Chinese, and should purchase only
goods bearing the labels of white labor.
The meeting adjourned until next Sun.

Pansra ma ., Housekeeping.

A novel and attractive social entertain
ment is being held at the First Baptist
Church, corner Sixth and Fort streets.
1t goes under the name of Panorama of
Housekeeping, or Six Days in One. Six
booths are tastefully arranged, each
dedicated to one day in the week, except
Sunday, and representing the routine Of
ladies' work for the week. Monday is
washday, Tuesday is ironing day,
Wednesday is mending day, Thursday
is reception day, Friday is sweeping
day. and Saturday is kitchen day. At
each of these booths are charming
ladies', who preside with grace and
dignity over the charge pertaining
to their special functions, and at
each may be found many articles of
beauty and usefulness for sale. Nothing
could carry sense of comfort and home
likeness so straight to the heart of the
beholder as does the exquisite taste
exhibited in the preparation OF all that Is
to be seen; while at the same time, the
necessities of the inner man are most sat-
isfactorily administered to by the ladies'
in charge of the kitchen department.
The ladies of the church in their efforts to
replenish their treasury are contribut-
ing most enjoyable entertainment ON
very reasonable terms to thoseswho favor
them with their presence. Good music
is not the least attraction that is pre-
tented, and the patronage of the COM
munity is richly merited. The doors
will be open both this afternoon and
evening

Cheney in Department Number One.
German was the youngest of the gang
and the boldest, but he comes of good
family, and every effort was made to
secure him a light sentence. He was
punishable under three charges, one of
assault to murder and two of
robbery. Under the combined ef-
feet of all these his sentence
might have been made to cover q good
part of the rest of his life. His mother
and sister we're present in court, and
they testified to the youths former good
character. His attorney made an appeal
to the Judge for mercy, and the court,
in delivering sentence, said that be
would take the matters which had been
called to his attention into confederation
and make the punishment as light as
possible. German will be taken north
tomorrow to serve out the six years.

A Complaint About tho Schedule from
Citizens Of Northeast Washington.

The Commissioners this morning gave hear
ing to Messrs. Clark, Dodge and Chappell, q
committee appointed by Citizens association,
No. 8, Of Northeast Washington. The subject
discussed was the rights of northeast Washing
ton to larger appropriation for the improve
ment OF their streets Mr.. Clark spoke at
length Of the injustice Of the apportionment Of
the appropriation, according to his view, and
cited cases where Northeast Washington was
charged with the improvement of streets which
properly belonged to other sections. The Com
missioners promised to look into the matter.
WHAT COMMISSIONER DOUGLASS SAYS.
In speaking to STAR reporter on the subject
OF apportioning the appropriation, Commits
sioner Douglass said: 'This question, vexed as
it is, could be easily solved and the Commits
sloners relieved Of q great amount of trouble
ii Congress would only specify the streets and
sections to be improved, together with the
amount to be expended. Then after the Presi-
dent had signed the bill the people would see
that 1t could not be changed. The trouble
heretofore has been that the money appropri-
ated FOR the general schedule has been INSULT
Gent and there was no direction as to where
the fractional amount Of the estimates should
or should not go. This was left to the Com
missioners, which I do not consider right. /
trust Congress will look into the matter and
settle the next appropriation accordingly"

Proposed Centennial Memorial.

The governors Of the thirteen original states
who were in Philadelphia in September, 1887,
during the time Of the constitutional centen-
NAL celebration, have held several conferences
for the purpose Of devising some plan to COM
memorate in fitting manner the great events
in the history Of the United States in the first
one hundred years Of American independence.
1t was agreed that the best method would be to
secure from Congress o return Of the sum OF
81, SOC, 600 lent by the government to the Gen.
tennial commission in 1876 and afterward re-
turned by that body to the Treasury, the money
to be used for the erection Of q memorial in

THE COMING SOLAR ECLIPSE.
for Two Expeditions from
This Country.

The committee appointed by the Secretary Of
the Navy to arrange for the scientific expedi-
ton. to Africa next fall to observe the eclipse
of the sun, December n next, held meeting
at the Navy department Wednesday afternoon.
The conference consisted Of Commodore John
g. Walker, chief Of the bureau of navigation;
Captain R. L. Phythian, superintendent Of the
naval observatory; Prof. Hall, Of the naval OBJ
servatory, and Prof Simon Newcemb, superin-
tendent Of the Nautical Almanac Office. It was
decided to divide the expedition into two
parties, one under Prof. Todd, Of Amherst col
lege, and the other under Prof. Jos Russell, Of
this city, both to leave this country about
October in 9 man-of-war. Both will go first
to st. Paul de Loando, on the west coast of
Africa, and will then separate, going into two
different camps.
The idea at the Navy department. is that the
U.S.S. Baltimore will be selected for the trip.
She will be tried within . month and will un-
doubleday be ready for sea by October. In
case of an accidental delay the Richmond will
probably be selected. The Baltimore will not
have her guns on board for at least year, but
that fact need not bar her from the scientific
expedition.

AN OLD FIGHT RENEWED.
Hand-Prcsses Versus Steam-Presses IN
the Engraving and Printing Bureau.

Secretary Window is considering q rather
difficult problem relative to the old fight be-
tween steam and hand presses in the bureau Of
engraving and printing. By virtue of an act of
Congress the Milligan steam presses were
stopped on the 90th Of June and their attend
ants discharged. By this act-secured after q
long, hard fght--the royalty TO patentees on
stsam-press plate impressions was reduced
from dollar to cent thousand, and the in
PRODUCTION Of any additional steam presses was
prohibited.
The Milligan press people, however, contrary
TO all expectations, have signihed q willingness
to accept these terms, and Secretary Window
is now to decide whether or not he will let
them accept The act does not order the Sec
and 20 he IL between two fires, as 1t were.
