AN IMPORTANT WORK.
Special Agent Evans Compilation of I
Cuatnns

Special Agent Ltnns' compilation OF the
Customs Laws.
Special Agent of the Treasury Evans is
engaged upon a work in his rooms in the
Appraisers building. the importance of
which to the Customs Service can hardly be
overestimated.
1t is high honor to San Francisco that
Mr.. Evans, one of her residents, should
have been selected by the Treasury Depart
ment, out of all the men in the United
States, to do this work. The work in cues
ton is no less than revision and compila-
ton of the customs regulations. The pres
elt compilation under the ponderOuS title of
General Regulations Under the Customs
and Navigation Laws of the United States"
has long been as ponderous and as unsatis-
factory as its title. 1t is divided into niue
books and is full of obscurties, repetitions
and inaccuracies.
Mr. Evans is making more simple ar
rangement of the work, expunging the
errors, correcting the rules by the light OF
the many decisions of later years, and COM
piling satisfactory and lucid index, and
striking out all the useless verbiage He
will comprise the nine books into one, and
subdivide that into twenty-five chapters,
as follows:
Cnanter 1-CIasslhcation Of vessels: 2-Docu.
menting of vessels; 3-Conveyancing of vessels;
4-Entry Of vessels in foreign trade; 5-CIear.
ance Of vessels 10 foreign trade; 6-rhe coasting

duty on imports; 15-The warehouslng system;

allies; 19-Revenue marine service; 20-Special
agency service; 21-Custom-house administra.

The new title will be simply s. Regula-
lions of the Customs Service" Mr.. Evans
has been engaged on the work for two
months, and will probably be two months
more in completing it. When finished it
will be a convenient, commOn-sense book of
reference for the customs officials, aud will
be most valuable.

THE PROGRESSIONISTS.
Another Protest Against the Marke
Sfreet Extension.

Another Protest Against the Market
Street Extension.
Quite large crowd gathered at Rob-
weder's Hall, at the corner of Seventeenth
and Noe streets, last night to attend the mass
meeting of citizens of the Eleventh Ward,
called by the Progressionists," club COM
posed of the representative citizens of that
ward, organized to protect and further their
joint interests.
George d. Shadburne, Chairman of the
club, called the meeting to order, and j. II.
Grady acted as Secretary. The report OF
the Executive Committee was given by its
Chairman, W. H. Peckham, and consisted
in the recommendation of set of resolu-
tions which fully set forth the object OF
the meeting.
These resolutions, addressed to the Board
of Supervisors, consisted of protests against
the extension of Market street through to
the ocean, between the Twin Peaks. The
reasons set forth against this extension are
the impracticability of constructing a street
on a grade necessary to reach the elevation
Of the Twin Peaks, the marring of the
natural scenery, and the heavy taxes that
must be levied on the surrounding property.
The resolutions we're adopted without
change or argument.
w. FL. Peckham followed with short
address, in which he claimed that the pro-
posed extension was impracticable, mas
much as any known sewer system would be
inadequate to conduct water down such a
grade, ~ per cent, for such n distance
Speeches were also made by j. ii. Grady,
George D. Shadburne, ID. III. Wulzen and
others. Mr.. Wuzen spoke for half an
hour, during which time he was frequently
interrupted by those whom he characterized
as Land pirates"
After signing a set of resolutions for the
guidance of the club, it adjourned.

MOLDERS ARE
STILL CONFIDENT.
They Say That Non-Union Men
Are DemOraliZed.
A Remarkable Letter to the Secretary of the
Navy From the Laborers' Union-Brick-
Handlers Election.

There was no change In the strike situation
yesterday. A frigid silence is maintained by all
the managers of the foundries as to what is be-
ing done In the way OF producing good work.
All that they will say Is that they have no trou-
Bile in obtaining good men. 1t is evident that
they are making efforts in all directions TO hire
more mOlders.
One Of the strikers, who was recently fore
man in one of the shops, said yesterday: "They
are alter me all the time to come back and take
my old place, which shows conclusively that my
sixteen years connection with them taught me
things that every scrub molder cannot do"
1t Is claimed by the strikers that the founders
are doing great deal OF skrmlshing among the
country fOundries TO have their work done In
outside places. They say, however, that union
plckets stationed at country shops have induced
nearly all OF them TO return the patterns TO the
fOuudries here and decline TO do the work. They
admit that some work Is being done i'll Los An
gees, but claim that their pickets will soon spot
that too. The molders have on exhibition a
number OF defective castings. which they say
were turned out by The Fulton.
Some mOlders from the Fulton came out on
Friday night and boy cried "Scab!" In few
minutes crowd gathered ana men and women
rushed out from their houses. Fearing violence
the holders ran into the Pacific Foundry and re-
m aimed there until morning. The moders as
usual deny that any Of their men were in the
crowd and that any violence was attempted.
A story is told by The union pickets that the
Fulton men are drinking good deal of whisky
ana that one OF them was crazy drunk at an
early hour yesterday morning and began firing
of his revolver promiscuously In the foundry. 1t
Is said that he finally attacked watchman, VINO
knocked him down with his club.
This and other like occurrences they say are
frequent, aud that the men are growing tired OF
thei confinement. What they look upon as the
demOrallzalion OF the men they regard as good
Ome0 They tell OF a hight between TWO m0lders
III the Pacific and state that wrangling in trying
to locate the blame for bad work has become a
frequant occurrence.
A f6S OF the molders are beginning TO fear that
the founders Will hang on long time, and one
man yesterday said that he afraid that the
founders are forging ahead of the strikers.
President Valentine comes with another de-
NAL that the man named Mclaughlin who went
crazy, is a molder. He is common labOrer,"
said lie, " and the who imagined that we
were trying 10 XIII him and set atioat all Of these
