HOP SUPPLY.
The Shortage this Year Estimated at
100000 Pounds.

SYRACUSE On. ", Feb. 15-The New
York Homestead publishes a complete
exhibit of the worlds supply and de-
mand of hops for the current season, end
ing August 81, 1898: The exact shortage
in the worlds supply is 3.5OO,0OO pounds,
which must be made up by the consump-
tlon OF the old stock if there be enough
on hand for the purpose. There is an es-
timated shortage of 100000 pounds in
the English supply, and England has yet
to secure enough hops to meet the de-
mand before the end of the season. 1t is
noteworthy that while every effort has
been made to keep the price of American
hops much below % cents per pound.
foreign hops have been imported at a
cost of 80 cents in addition to the duty.
thus showing that American brewers are
willing to pay fully 55 cents for foreign
hops, while they begrudge % cents for
American hops, which Oh a whole are in
fnitely superior to the imported article,
which are mostly cheap Russian growth.
repacked in Germany and labeled as
choice Bavarian hops, especially for ex-
port trade. The output of beer in this
country has increased by 100000 barrels
during the first four months of the
present season ending January l, 1893.

draft of the plans OF the three buildings
which compose the Hoodon, a name by
which the Japanese Court will be known.
One building will represent japanese
architecture OF 800 years ago, and will be
wonderfully plain. Another will repre-
sent the building of 400 years ago, and
Will be plain in design, though slightly
more ornate than that of eight centuries
ago. In the center will be a modern
building, which will be very elaborate.
and will be finished with most exquisite
care and skill.
Mr.. Sadabumi will superintend all the
work. The ceiling of the larger building
will vaulted and all the divisions filled
with historic pictures of Japan; the pict-

Japan. The walls will be covered with
gold leaf. The central part of Hoodan

TWO DOLLARS A DAY.
THE LABOR AND CAPITAL COM.
MlTTEE FAVORS 1T.
Chairman Conway, Labor's Cham.
pion, Favors Even a Higher Rate
for Unskllled Laborers.

Quite large delegation from the trades
unions of the city were present at the
meeting of the Assembly Committee on
Labor and Capital, and took great in
terest in the bills which originated in the
halls of the Federated Trades of San
Francisco and Sacramento, and refers to
the minimum wages to be paid unskilled
labor on public works throughout the
State.
The bill is particularly aimed at the
street-paving contractors of San Fran
cisco, who, it is said, pay the smallest
possible wages and are not particular
whom they employ.
Senate Bill No. "a. by Maher, to amend
an Act relating to the payment of persons
employed under the provisions of Section
S245 of the Political Code, and which pro-
Nides that no contractor or sub-contractor
employed on any public work or muni-
cipal corporation within the State shall
pay any unskilled laborer less sum
than 81 day. and it was the cause of a
great variety of ideas and diversity of
opinions being promulgated.
1t was doubted by some of the COM
1nittee whether the measure would not, if
passed, be unconstitutional. Again it
was argued that it would not be Justice
10 a contractor to be obliged to pay
unskilled labor S2 a day when he could
probably get the same labor performed
for 81 90.
ON the other hand, it was urged that the
bill, if passed, would be fully as consti-
tutional as the one passed few years ago,
which provides that only white labor
shall be employed on public buildings in
the State. 1t was further argued that the
measure was as good for the contractor as
for the laborer, and that if the bill obliged
him to pay 81 day he would make due
allowance in such bids as he might make
The members of the labor delegations
present urged the argument before she
aiming to fix the maximum, but the
minimum to be paid per diem.
Mr.. Conway, Chairman of the commit
tee stoutly asserted that he would be in
favor of every laborer receiving as high
as So a day, or more if possible, but
doubted the efficacy of the bill in its
present form. The trades committee
were loud in their praises of the Chair
man, and without hesitation hailed him
as the champion OF labor in the present
Assembly. He, however, was willing to
send the bill back with favorable in
dorSement, and on motion of Mr.. Barlow
such action was taken.
Senate Bill No. lS4, to amend an Act to
establish Code of Civil Procedure re-
lating to legal holidays and non-judicial
days, was reported back with the recon-
mendation that it do pass.
Senate Bills Nos. 2l7 and 2l5, both of
which relate to legal holidays, were re-
ported back with accommodation favor

Gnd Will sign paper that he will stand

ness denied seriatim every statement at
tributed to him by Darlington and Rea
with reference to the proposed 500 loan.
johnson said that the testimony OF
Manager Edwards of the Electrical I'm
provement Company, was all false. He
also denied all of Mex enZie's testimony;
that he told Nick KenZie that he was not
going to Sacramento for his health and
that he was out for the stuff. Harry
Conners never told him that Mckenzie
was Rea's private secretary. He never
knew Connors' name until he arrived in
Sacramento. He remembered having in
CURED what Connors' name was since
the investigation began, SO that he could
subpoena him as a witness for the de-

Johnson, continuing, said he had
trouble once with harrington, because
the latter was abusing the Peoples party.
Johnson's direct examination was not
nnlshed when the committee adjourned
until this evening. An attempt will be
made to hold a session Saturday after
noon and conclude the investigation at
that time if possible.

Senator Langford stated that the bureau
nad Deen badly managed and had mis-
represented matters so that no one inter-
ested placed any confidence in its reports.
iie was satisfied that it would be better
Ior tne cause OF education, as well as
mining, to abolish the institution.
Mr.. Fairbanks said that some benefit
accrued to the State from the Mining Bu-
reau at the present time, but that such
penent was small in the extreme. He
stated that the Regents of the University
were desirous of making an exhaustive
geological survey of the entire State, even
tnough there was nothing in the bill
compelling them to do so.
A number of the committee stated that
as no provisions had been made in the
phi for, circulating reports which might

the mining population of the State such
provision should be supplied
Senator Dunn of San Francisco, who
mas long been connected with the Mining
bureau, said it would not be advisable to
nave the bureau abolished or turned over
to the University for the reason that the
University was not the proper place for it.
ne stated that former appropriations for
Lne bureau had not always been applied

OOO appropriated for field work last year,
only about $4,000 or $1,000 had been used

would be OF very little value to the stu
dents, who at best would have limited
time IN which to complete their course,
and would come out with very little prac-
ticaI knowledge OF mining, which every
oid miner knew to be essential to success.
lie believed that the Mining Bureau
could make thorough geological survey
OF the State for much less sum than
would be possible for the Regents of the
University to do.
Assemblyman Sargent of Amador
County stated that he had examined the
last mineralogical report of the bureau,
and that it was the finest work of the
kind he had ever seen, and was in favor
OF reporting the bill back with the recon-
mendation that it do not pass. A motion
to that effect was carried unanimously.
Senate Bill No. 59S, which virtually
clothes the Trustees of the Mining Bureau
with absolute authority as regards
geological and mineralogical SURVEYS,
was reported back with a recommenda,
ton favorable TO passage.
