strains of the organ as they waited for the
coming of the cortege.
The raised platform at the end of the
hall was a picture. Floral tributes were
piled upon it in profusion. There were
vases, chairs, wreaths of all descriptions
and bouquets-all roses and lilies. Down
the center of the hall on either side of the
place reserved for the coffin ran two 70 VS.

THROUGH THE SLUMS.
A Special Agent of the Labor De.

partment "SeeS the Sights"
o. A. Bernard, special agent of the
Labor Department at Washington, has
been sent 10 the coast to investigate the
condition of the laboIing classes in San
Francisco.
His mission is principally to ascertain
the condition of the lower laborinG people
and their methods of living. and the result
of his Investigations will be embodied in
report TO the department, which will be
sent within few days.
M0nd ay night Mr.. Bernard commenced
his investigation by visiting the slums of
Chinatown and the section touching on
Dupont street.
lie accompanied Sergeant Whitman on
his rounds OF the cellars on Dupont, Clay
and Sacramento streets, and from there
went to the vile dens ON Bartlett, Sullivan
and Ross alleys.
The old Palace Hotel" where the Chi
nese cigar-makers bunk, was visited, and
the report of this visit will doubtless con-
tain some interesting reading for the de-
partment officials, for the agent was Wis
IDLY agltated by the horrible condition of
affairs he found TO exist there. In fact, the
entire trip was full of surprises for him.
One thing that stirred up the blood of
Mr.. Bernard was the finding of white men
IN the opium-dens of the Chinese, and not
only finding them there, but finding them
hitting tho pipe"
Mr. Bernard will visit the slums of the
Barbary Coast ard every part of the city
before making his report The tenement
houses will receive visit also.

THE LOWEST BIDDER LEFT.
a Strong Protest From Attorney
Ash Against Its Award.

The Printing Committee of the I'D of
Education met yesterday and considered
the matter of awarding the contract for
the printing and publication Of the delin-
Quent tax list
When the bids were opened on Monday
night IL was found that the journal Of
Commerce had made the lowest offer. the
bid being S15 cents for both the real and
personal property delinquents.
The next lowest bidder was the Stock
Report. lis bid being 9Hs cents for each de-
linGuent in both cases.
When the committee met yesterday
morning Attorney Ash appeared before
the committee on behalf Of the journal of
Commerce. He said he had heard IL
stated that the contract would be awarded
to the Stock Report. He claimed that the
committee could not ignore the Journal of
Commerce, which was the lowest bidder
and a paper of general circulation. He
guaranteed that the circulation was 10000
daily and said that the Supreme Court had
held that the lowest bidder must receive
the contract.
Notwithstanding Attorney Ash's pre-
testati0nS the committee awarded the con-
tract to the Stock Report on the ground
that the journal of Commerce was not q
paper OF general circulation.

FOR THE EMPEROR.
Japan's Greatest Engineer Visits
Our Mines.

Our Mines.
Reizji handa, the mining engineer of The
Imperial japanese Household Depart
ment. arrived in this city on the last
Pacific Mail steamer from Toxic, Japan.
He passed directly through the city and
went on TO Sacramento.
This most noted Of Japan's mining en-
gineers visits California under special
orders from the Emperor for the purpose
Of gathering information and data in re-
gard to the improved methods of operating
mines and the cost and desrahility of the
various recent improvements in mining
machinery.
His trip will be extended around the
world and he will visit all of the principal
mining countries and districts en- route.
The information which the Emperor's
expert gathers will be used by what is
known as the estate bureau of the Japan
ese Government. which controls many of
the richest mines Of Japan.
This bureau runs and operates the
Sado mines. located about 800 miles
from Toxic. Reiii Kanda has been the
superintendent of these mines for maRy
years. They yield both gold and silver
At 1kuno, near the seaport Of Kobe. are
also located some very rich silver mines
controlled by the estate bureau, and t
Ashio are extensive aud very rich copper
mines.
Kanda especially desires to investigate
the recent innovations caused by the use
of electricity for working mines. The En-
peror desires to do away with the crude
methods Of operating the mines now in
use.
The expert has already visited the gold
mines at Angels Camp in Calayeras County
and is now in Nevada County, where he
will visit the famous gOld-bearing quartz
veins of Grass Valley and Nevada City.
He will return to San Francisco within
a few days and will enlist the services of
engineers here and with them visit the
famous lodes at Virginia City, Ney.
Reji Kanda Will go from the Pacific
Coast to Chicago and visit the Worlds
Fair and then journey on to the eastern
mining districts. lie will embark from
the United States for South Africa.

A LADIES' DAY.
Only One Ball Game of Each Series
Free to Ladies.

Free to Ladies.
The members of the California Base
ball League are just now discussing a
question that will interest all the lady
patrons Of the San Francisco games.
It is proposed to make one day of the
week free admission or ladies' day, and
at the other games to charge the regular
price.
Heretofore all the games have been free
for ladies. Such thing is not known in
any other baseball city in the country.
The managers have reached the conclu-
sion that it will tend TO make the games
even more popular and better patronned
to charge the ladies the regular admission
price on all but ne.day, ana are anxious
to put the matter to the test.
The members of the league will have a
chance TO. vote on the proposition at the
next meeting.
FRIDAYS game will take place at the
Haighl-street Grounds, and will be between
the Oakland and San Francisco teams.
There IS some trouble anticipated over
this game. Il is expected to grow out of
the enforcement of that rule requiring the
pitcher to keep beth feet on the ground
while thro wing to bases.
The reason trouble is expected is be-
cause Umpire Mcdonald has not been en-
forcing the rule at the Los Angeles games
and the Oakland players have had no
ehance to become acquainted with its Ie.
quiremenls as regards base running.
On the other hand the San Francisco
team which played here under Umpire
Meegan's decisions last week picked up
great many points that can be used to ad-
vantage with the rule in effect.
Umpire Meegan says he shall adhere to
his original Interpretation of il and require
the players to play accordingly.
Mcdonald was notified by President
None to enforce the rule at Los Angeles,
but lie did not do so and there may be some
trouble growing ont of this fact also.
The game to-day will be called at 3
o'clock. Horner will do the ColonePs
pitching and Louie Balsz viii probably be
put in against him. Henry Spies will be
back behind the bat for Uncle Henry.

THE WATER VETO.
Mayor Ebert Quite Clear
OH the Stand.
Proceedings in Judge Garber's Court
ConcIuded-TheS Supreme Court
VIII Now Decide.

The hearing OF the application of Julius
Jacobs for a writ of mandamu5 to compel
the Board Of Supervisors TO act upon the
Mayors veto of The water ordinance was
resumed yesterday afternoon before Pre-
siding Judge CARRIER.
Mayor Ebert was called to the stand and
INTERCEPTED by his counsel, William NJ.
Pierson, in regard to the allegations of the
petition.
The Mayor stated that he had been in
the Board of Supervisors for number of
years, serving on the Finance Committee
for two years just prior to his election to
his present office.
He then stated the duties OF his position
and his knowledge of the fact that the
city would be r large consumer of water
during the coming year, as alleged in the
petition.
This testimony was objected to by Attor-
ney Z. S Pillsbury on the ground that it
was not shown that the Mayor knew that
the city would actually consume the
water. Pierson replied by reading an
ordinance Of the board, in which the
Mayor was given the right to order the
water Supplied, from which he argued
that the Mayor could be heard to say that
the water would be supplied and used
during the coming year.
MAJOR Ebert was next asked what tn @
effect upon the health OF the city would be
in the event that no water were supplied
10 it, but the court said it would take
judicial notice Of such self-eyiden facts.
The witness then explained that the
eHstom of the Finance Committee has
been to estimate in June of each year the
probable amount of water and The cost
thereof which the city would consume
during The following year, and such esti-
mate vas included in the tax levy.
BY the one-twelfth act the board was
compelled each month to audit the bill of
the water company, and il it exceeded by
$500 an amount equal to one-twelfth of
the entire amount estimated at the begin
ming of he year the board was obliged TO
pass resolution warTantlng its payment,
which resolution must be approved by the
Mayor. This was done every month as a
matter CT form.
Mayor Ebert then stated that about
$1,000 is a fair amount 10 allow for each
months consumption of water for the city
during the coming fiscal year.
All of the other allegations Of tie petit
tion having been admitted by the attor-
neys for the board. findings will be drawn
up. presented and signed by judge CARRIER,
upon which the side most anxious for a
final adjudication will appeal therefrom
and the case at once carried TO the Su-
preme Court, where the rights of the
board and the Mayor in regard to such
vetoes as the one in question will be set
