Dispatch Urged In the Extension of Mar
ket Street.
The Federation of San Francisco Improve
ment Clubs held meeting at Parlor A,
Palace Hotel, last evening, at which twelve
clubs were represented. L. G. Parker pre-
sided.
The Executive Committee presented re-
port asking for further time to consider the
proposition of trans-continental railroad,
but recommending the adoption of the res
olutions denouncing the proposed
purchase Of land at an ex-
pense to the city Of $500. 900
for the extension Of the entrance to Golden
Gate Park to Van Ness avenue; also stat
Ing that petition had been drawn up ask
ing the Supervisors for the establishment
of the official grade of Cortland avenue.
and that this petition had been signed by
property-owners am would be presented at
the next meeting of the board. =ssz
Property owners On Mission street hav-
ing contributed to the construction of
24-inch sewer, permit for the same has been
issued. In the matter of the Mission-street
widening survey, the report stated that the
Executive Committee had appeared before
the Street Committee which had rescinded
the resolutions fixing the compensation of
the City aud County Surveyor to $500. as
the work could not be done for less than
$1,000 The Street Committee will report at
its next meeting as to the authority Of the
Board to order the work done.
That there is determination to retard
the improvement" continued the report,
your committee is convinced, and while
the work is III allegiance the want
of sewers is causing expense, disease and
death, and further we denounce those who
are causing this delay rs infamous and op-
pressive. We recommend that this fedora
ton retain counsel Of high legal ability at
once, as the rights of property-owDerS
should be protected"
The report was taken up in sections ard
adopted as read without dissension until
the last clause, relating to the engagement
of counsel, was reached. After a long dis
cussi0n this section was referred back to
the Executive Committee with instructions
to report at the next meeting. The principal
objection to this section was that the clubs
are too poor to pay fees.
A. Ruef was appointed member of the
Finance Committee, vice A. Grant,, re-
signed, and offered a resolution requesting
the Board of Supervisors to proceed with
all possible dispatch in the extension of
Market street The resolution was re-
ferred to the Executive Committee.

tanned as an honorary member.

and then there was scattering of naked
youngsters that was a sight to behold

over the hills, some hid in the bushes,
while some ran straight away Eight of
them, however, were gathered in by the of
ficers and taken in a wagon down to the
new City Hall Police Station, where they
were locked up on charges of bathing with
in the city limits
Their names are Joe Levy. Michael Mur-
ply, Peter Burns, Robert Ward, Frank

THE BEHRING SEA.
The Conversations Between Secretary
Blaine and PaunCefOt0.

NEW YORK, July 9.-The Aerald's Otta-
wa special says: 1t is not understood by
officials here what public or legitimate pur-
pose is to be served by Hits Behring Sea
resolution passed at Washington to-day.
My understanding is that only the material
contributions by the American side to the
correspondence was ordered to be laid before
Congress-two dispatches by Blaine. one
of remote and the other of recent date. All
important negotiations respecting Behring
Sea have been conducted viva yOce between
MI Lane and Sir Julian Pauncefote. No
protocols or minutes were made of their
conferences and the only authentic con-
temporary accounts of the meetings are, SO
far as known here, contained In dispatches
by Sir Julian to the Imperial Foreign Office.
In expectation that Sir Julian
Pauncefote'S reports of his conversa-
tons with Blaine will be laid upon
the table of the two Houses of Parlia--
ment within the next few days,
have -deemed it proper 10 supply
the Herald with summary of the
more important contents, as l have been
able to gather them. Blaine stood out from
the first for such convention as would ad
nit of no sealing killing in Behring
can and Russian roOkeries in that sea,
insisting that accumulated facts and eXper-
fence proved that any possible marine sea-
ing would speedily destroy seal life altt-
gether. lie also commended that any dou
on this point ought to be IT,
solved i'll favor of the United Stat, S
because of its color of legal right. The
British representative declined to admit
legal claim into the negotiation, and
insisted upon the production of
Blane's evidence of what was necessary
to preservation of seal life in the Behrng
Sea. Blaine, after some delay produced
compilations of his authorities, which was
in due time met by counter compilations
prepared here. In the end Blaine
required that the British Minister
should put into form an entire scheme of
international regulation, and this was done.
though the Canadian Government assented
to parts OF il with extreme reluctance.
The ultimate rejection of that draft of a
convention by the American Government
has been more gratifying to Canada than its
acceptance would have been. While the
Canadians regret the occasion for
show of force in the Pacific, they ara
glad that the home Government
has at last had courage to force the mat
ter to an issue of war or peace and so
to free the authorities at Washington from
obstructive mercenary interests that have
all along overshadowed efforts of proper rep
resentatives of the two Governments TO come
TO an honorable understanding aud settle
ment.

decided to make sharp work of the question

and send the bill to the President before
the end of the present session of Con-
gress. There is no question but that a
large majority of the Republican Senators
are in favor of attempting to pass the Elec-
ton Bill before adjournment, but the COM
mittee will ask that at least forty-three
r epublicans pledge themselves to stay
In to the end. A certain time will be-
allotted for debate on the bill and
then every one of the forty-three Senators
will be expected to sustain the
committee In its demand for con-
tinuous session until vote can be
had. If necessary the forty three
Senators who make quorum are to eat
their meals at the Capitol and sleep in the
committee-rooms until the refractory mi
nority is forced to surrender.

was brought to the City Prison last night
by Officer E. Hartley in highly intoxicat-
ed condition. He could give but lit
tie account of himself beyond saying
that he was born at Racine, Wiscon-
sin, and was sailor. He was
evidently suffering from other than aco-
holic troubles, but the simple charge of
drunk was placed opposite his name on the
register, and he was placed in the hospital
ward.
At 80 o'clock he was found dead in the
hospital cell.
