FOURTH OF JULY.

Appropriations Granted the Various Sub
Committees.
The Fourth of July General Committee
met last night in the Nucleus House. with
President A. Ruef in the chair. Ii was re-
solved not to use the programmes of the
literary exercises in any way for advertising
purposes and the different bonuses offered
for the privilege were rejected. The Car
riage Committee was allowed $3.50 to meet
all expenses.
The Fireworks Committee reported hay
ing contracted with the California Fire
works Company TO display set pieces for
$500 at the following points on the night
of the Fourth: Washington Park. Alamo
Square and on Harrison street, between
Eighth and Ninth. The committee asked
for $500 additionally to provide bombs and
rockets, as the contract only called for sci
pieces. The matter was laid over to the
next meeting.
The Decoration Committee reported that
the $3.50 appropriated for its use was to-
tally inadequate to furnish any display.
especially on the streets. 1t was resolved to
make no attempt to decorate the streets by
the committee. and the original apprOpra-
ton being withdrawn the committee was
allotted $3.50 10 decorate the Headquarters
and the hail where the literary exercises
The matter Of furnishing the Mexican
War Veterans with carriages for the parade
was deferred to the next meeting, as WIS
the question Of approDriating $500 for the
Exempt tIremen, who wished 10 parade
with a band and their engine.
The Regatta Committees appropriation
was temporarily set at $3.50 Some dis
cussOn was had over allowing the Regaia
Committee 500 to provide regalia for the
poet, orator and chaplain of the day. The
matter was finally settled by appropriating
$50 to buy red, white and blue SaShes for
each of the abOve-named officers and $50 TO
provide badges for the invited guests
President RIef reported that so far the
estimated appropriations would amount 10
$500, and that there was now $500 on
hand; more contributions were, however,
confidently expected. He also stated that
The Coast Seaaen's Union would parade
40 men and provide their own two bands
free Of expense to the committee.
The Music Committee asked for $3.50 and
was allowed $1,000 temporarily to work on.
The committee stated that four bands alone
were needed by the National Guard. 1t was
stated that though these bands would leave
Immediately with the militia after the
parade for the different country camps. no
reduction could BIZ made by the rules Of the
union and the full rates would have to be
paid for their two hours services during the
parade. Further action on the music ap-
preparation was deferred TO the next meet
ing. The Literary Committee was allowed
$500.

Professor Donald DoYvnie's illustrate,
Lectures.

Professor Donald DoWnie'S Illustrated
Lectures.
Professor Donald Downie, B. c. L., de-
liyered the third Of his interesting series Of
illustrated lectures last night at the Or
pheum Theater, receiving from his audience
the most flattering attention. His subject
was Japan" and the views thrown upon
the curtain by means of powerful StereOp-
ucOn were Photographic scenes taken on
the spot. The views were so varied in their
selection that not only were the objects Of
interest IN the cities and country pictured,
but indoor aud outdoor life in its different
phases were placed before the behUldeT in
the same manner that they would appear If
he were on the spot. There were the pin
clpal Buddhist idols, the interior and exterior
OF the temples, with their magnificent affairs;
the streets and dwellings OF Osaka, and
other cities; the rocky island from which
the Christians were thrown during the at
temut to drive Christianity out Of the cOun-
try; the wOTk-ShO of the artisans and
their crOSS-purpOSe manner of working;
preparing rice for the market; tea gardens;
women at their toilets; a japanese warrior
in fun armGr; japanese vessels, and very
long and detailed list Of views, which, be-
ing explained by the lecturer as he went
along left nothing TO the imagination. The
views are diSsOlying views and the passing
from one to another is like the ever-changing
panorama that meets the eye of the traveller
as he journeys through a country. The
entertainment is one that appeals to the in
telligent class and gives impressions and in
formation that nothing else short of travel
ing through the countries represented can
Go. Tonight the audience will travel
through Scotland and will visit scenes made
memorable by Bruce and Wallace.
The morning call., 1891-06-25

large amount of old iron work, which has
rendered good service for thirteen years,
was taken out last night, to be disposed of
for scrap iron presumably. For the rest
the sheaVes or pulleys which have until now
constituted the ''base" at California and
Kearny streets were removed to the new
quarters at California and Market streets.
The old trystiDg-place is now but way
station, though the company has thought
fully put in a switch to permit of a resump-
ton of the former order OF things in case of
a Fourth of July procession, a prolonged
funeral, a frst-class fire, or anything of a
kind tending 10 tile interruption of traffic at
a point where it is naturally liable to con-
gestion.
One of the chief causes of delay has been
the removal OF the honest masonry put in
below the road-bed as main stay to the
sheaveS and anchor plate, as also the pick
ing out of the massive inter-layer of con-
crete, ten cubic feet to the running foot;
about double what is considered necessary
in modern cable-track construction. But
the California-Street road was built in the
good old DAYS; it was, in fact, the second
cable-road in San Francisco, following the
Clay-street Hill road in close order. The
first westerly terminus of the California
street road WAS on Fillmore street; its
extension to Central avenue was an after
thought, naturally connected with the de-
