all appliances tfor book-making. binding
and paper-w working. Here, too, will be the
exhibits Of coal, coke and petroleum.
Building-stoneS. marble and quarry product
will have a place here also. There will
also D. in this department exhibits of
metallurgy. Gold and silver will be ex-
tracted from ore by milling and by other
processes as well. There will be boring
and drilling tools. pumps and engines used
in mining, asSaying apparatus and hX-
lures and collection of the history and
literature of mining and metallurgy.
The Pullman company hav6 offered to
send their $500. 900 Pullman train. and the
Baltimore and Ohio exhibit illustrating
the development of the locomotive has also
been offered. If room cannot be found for
these there will certainly be an interest
ing transportation exhibit in other respects.
There will be snowplows from the Sierra
Nevada, transcontinental fruitcars and
exhibits of street railway cars. There.
tOo will be aerial and pneumatic forms
of Transportation. also boats and vessels
of different kinds that may be exhibited.
Under this head also will come the expected
exhibit of the Life-saving Service. Elac-
trical exhibits of all sorts will be clasSed
in this building-signals, motors, batteries,
etc.
In the Manufactures building the Wis
itor will find the greatest variety of ex-
hibits, and it would be useless to try to
enumerate the different arts and indus
tries which will be there represented.
The general headings of the articles
which find their proper place in this build
ing. in addition to manufactures pure and
simple, are education. literature, engineer
ing. public works, constructive architec-
ture. music and the drama, not to mention
ethnology. archaeology and the progress of
abor and invention. It is here that the
proposed educational exhibit Of the State
of California will be made unless special
building is erected for that purpose; and
it is here that the great exhibits of the
different foreign nations, each of which is
TO have a court to itself, will be located.
There will be little enough room in this
vast building for all the exhibits. foreign
and domestic, for which space has already
been applied for in these departments.
There is. however. large gallery space,
which will be quite as desirable from most
points of view for exhibitors. and there
will probably be gathered under that
great roof the most varied collection ever
seen under a single roof excepting at the
Colum bian Exposition.

In the afternoon the crowds on some OF
the boats were immense, appearing at
distance like one black. surging mass.
Little time was given the passengers for
observation, however. when the wreck
was reached, the efforts OF the boat
owners being directed more particularly
toward making as many trips. and. conse-
quently, as many dollars as possible with
out regard to the advantages given their
patrons.
On board the City of New York there
appeared to be but little activity. although
it was said that the pumps had about been
placed in position for work, and 1t as
thought pro bable that they would be put
in motion tonight at low tide. Donkey
engines have been placed on board to sup
ply the necessary power.
Alongside the wrecked ship lay schooner
receiving what freight and other material
could be transferred TO her. AS the New
York lay yesterday afternoon her stern
was somewhat lower in the water than her
bow. the gilt letters forming her name on
the former being just visible above the
small waves which washed about her.
Some diversity of opinion exists as to the
exact extent OF the damage done to the
hull of the vessel. 1t was said on board
the tug on which reporter took passage
that one of the divers employed had stated
that he believed from the position of the
ship there was little il any hope of getting
her off safely. He said that a large rock
protruded through the hull and that the
action of the water in rocking the vessel to
and fro was gradually increasing the size
of the aperture and more firmly fixing the
ship in its critical position.
A big bank of clouds coming gf up ON the
western horizon was viewed with good
deal Of anxiety by some of the officials
directing the work of relief aboard the
vessel last evening.
IF storm comes up now," said one of
them, I'VE might as well pull for the shore
and leave the vessel to her tate. do pot
believe she has settled in the water ma
terially during the past twenty-four hours,
and if We can get the pumps to work and
they prove effective in reducing the vo lune
of water in the hold. l think the chances
of getting her off are pretty fair. My chief
anxiety now, however. is about the
weather, and upon it depends the failure
or success of all future operations"
Each one of the boats going and coming
from the wreck had the kodak fends
aboard in various numbers. About a half
dozen of them took passage on the tug

FROM THE POINT.
The Steamer Viewed From the Bluff
Above the Wreck.
luT1Ekn,,

Point Bonita presented lvelier ap-
pearance yesterday than it probably ever
did before. 1t was the objective point of
the largest number of sightseers that ever
visited the place, 1t being estimated that In
the neighbour Ood of 500 people crossed the
hills during the day to view the wrecked
steamer City of New York, and 90 per cent
of the visitors tramped across tho hills

Ing the occasion an excuse for taking the
walk and enjoying days outing. Early
in the day the prospects were in favor of
foggy weather. but Dy the time the advance
guard of the big procession reached the
point the fog lifted and everybody had a
good view of the stranded vessel. The
common remark was that the steamer
showed little signs of being unable to
leave her position, but looked more as If

server on shore 1t appeared that no grea
effort was being made to dismantle the
steamer. While some of the men aboard
ship were engaged in labor it was office
able that many lounged about and leaned
over the rail on their elbows observing the
great crowds of spectators on the bluffs
above.
Ali day long excursion steamers visited
the scene of the wreck, and all appeared
to be crowded to their utmost capacity.
SO a great disaster was made the occasion
by some OF a merrymaking, but the ma
jority expressed sorrow that the fine steam

PREPARING THE CALL.
Programme for the State Labor Con-
gress to Meet in February.

The committee of the San Francisco
Labor Council to whom was assigned the
duty OF issuing call and arranging a pro-
gramme for State Labor Congress to be
held in this city next February met yes
terday afternoon Cat council headquarters
to lay out the work.
1t was decided that the duration OF the
congress should be three days-February
20, q and 22-to be further extended at
the will of the congress should the labors
not be concluded within three days.
The congress will be composed of dele
gates from each trades-union organizations
Farmers Alliance and knights of Labor
in California. Its mission is to define the
position of the wageworkers and pro-
ducers of the State upon politico-ecOn0m ic
questions, with view of securing legisla-
ton to protect the interests of the people
The following programme, after infor.
NAL discussion. was agreed upon:
First day-Organization and routine busi.
ness; evening, lovefeast, probably at Metropol-
itan Temple.
Second day-Discussion of the following
topics:
acknowledgements ownership OF means
OF transportation and communication; finance;
irrigation; election methods; immigration.
State-Electi0n methods Insurance.; taxa.
ton; labor bureau; employment OF the unem-
plOyed: education.
Muncipal-OwnershiD OF water. light ana
means OF transportation and communication.
The Farmers Alliance will be invited to
select five persons. whether members of
their organization or not, to present to the
congress any topic within the range of the
programme. A like number will be in
vited from the labor organizations.
Discussions will no doubt occupy all of
two days. On the night of the 22d ratif-
cation meeting will be held, very likely at
the Metropolitan Temple.
This programme will be submitted to the
labor councils of San Francisco, Alameda.
Santa Clara, Sacramento, Los Angeles,

THE CLUBHOUSE VIEW.
Nearly Forty Thousand Spectators
on Sutro Heights.

on Sutro Heights.
Not since the explosion of several tons
of dynamite by the wreck of the schooner
Parallel near the Seal Rocks some years
ago has there been such a multitude at
and about the Cliff House as gathered in
that vicinity yesterday. 1t is estimated
that between 10000 and 10000 people were
carried from the city op the two railroads
to the ocean shore. The rush was con-
tinuous from early in the morning until
the sun went down.
The managers found IL difficult to ham
die the traffic. The ringing of the con-
ductor's bell-punch knew no cessation,
and yet hundreds OF passengers escaped
paying toll because the collector Of fare
could not reach them.
The Cliff House and Ferries Road car
ried the greater number of people. The
pressure upon that route was something
phenomenal, though the Park and Ocean
road had also all it could do to accom-
modats its patrons. Extra trains were
run at short intervals on both lines.
The weather during the afternoon was
superb. The ocean was apparently with
out a ripple. There was hardly enough
wind to stir rose leaf. The view of the
opposite headland was perfect. The
white building upon which is built the
Point Bonita light stood out with striking
prominence against the gray rolling hills
behind it. Tugboats and other craft were
distinctly made out sklmmsng over the
mirror-like surface Of the water near the
Marin County shore.
What all bad come to see. however, was
the wrecked steamer. But the City of
New York. with its partly submered hull,
was lying in the deep shadows cast by the
rocks that lowered above and about it.

THOUSANDS VIEW THE SHIP.
The Bay Filled With All Manner of
Craft Bound for Point Bonita.
At The Cliff.

The wrecked steamship City of New
York lies in about the same position she
has been in for several days, and the pros
poets of saving her are all based upon the
success the pumps will have in reducing
the amount of water in her hold when they
get to work and the continuance of the
present fair weather. 1t Is admitted on
all sides that if a storm of even m oderate
force should come up at this juncture all
hopes for the vessel would be lost.
The bay was alive with all kinds of
craft yesterday bound for the scene of the
wreck-steamers, tugs. naphtha launches,
Whitehall boats. skiffs, and, in fact. every
conceivable manner of conveyance by
water to be procured was brought into
requisition to convey the large crowds of
people who were anxious to view the dis
abled ship. One or two of the boats had
bands Of music aboard to attract custom,
and all of them had from two to half
dozen runners, who labored necessarily
an d with loud voices to secure passengers.

Interest Grows in Sunset City, Which
Had Thousands of Visitors Yester-
day-Curiosity Satisfied.

The critically curious man was out in
full force yesterday at the Midwinter Fair
grounds. So was the souvenir crank and
the kodak enthusiast. And, indeed. for
that matter. everybody and his wife de-
serted San Francisco for a view of Sunset
City.
The over-cnrious chap. however. was a
nuisance. So thought the contractors,
watchmen and police. and it was con-
tinual Hi there! What are you doing !?

Of its outlines and masts and to indi-
cate the locality to those less cute OF
vision.
From Lands End station to the Cliff
House beach the shore and adjacent hills
were dotted with men, women and chill
dren silently gazing at the opposite shore.
Here and there a hilltop fairly swarmed
with people. The Cliff House veranda
itself was thronged all day and the roads
leading to it filled with vehicles. Ii the
people saw but little OF the wreck they
seemed to be enjoying their outing. for the
day was one of rare lovellness. and the
view OF the ocean and the entrance to the
harbor was full of bewitching enchant.
ment.
The grounds at Sutro Heights have
seldom or never had such concourse of
visitors. Out on the semlclrcular parapet
the crowd was enormous. A young man
with telescope mounted on tripod
coined money at 10 cents peep. A line
was formed by those awaiting their turn
to see the wreck through his lens. A
DOZEN telescopes would have proved in
adequate to the public demand for that
aid to vision. The enterprisiDg youth
made enough money in few hours to
carry him through a hard winter. His
pockets were so weighted down with
silver that he was obliged to secure as
sistance to aid him in packing his instru-
ments off the ground.
j. Hampton Hoge, the newly appointed
American Consul to Annoy. was anxious
to see through the glass the steamer upon
which he had intended sailing to China,
but his gallantry baffled his desire.
Whenever it came his turn to take a peep
he discovered the next person behind him
to be lady. MIR. Hoge is a Virginia
gentleman. and in every instance he
stepped aside to allow the ladies to use the
telescope first. His gallantry was not
appreciated by the other men in the line,
and Mr.. Eoge had to go to the rear Of the
line every time he yielded his right. The
result was that when darkness fell the
gallant Virginian was somewhere near the
