EASTON'S SUCCESS.

Wendell Easton is working with the
street railway companies and is COD fideEt
of their liberal support. He stated last
night that the Market-street lines would
give $50. 600 toward San Franctsco's expo
sition. This would be practical deduc-
ton from the Southern Pacific Company's
$4,000, but Mr.. Easton explained that the
railroad people would make up differ
ence from their original offer through the
medium Of the other enterprises in which
they were directly Interested, SO that the
Market-street cable donation would be
clear gain. The other cable compaaies
will give $4,000 under a pro rata agree
ment The California street, Ferries and
Cliff House, Suffer- street. Preside and
Ferries and other lines have agreed 10
sign contract this morning, so Mr.. Eas-
ton Is receiving the congratulations of his
friends upon securing $4,000 for the eX-
position exchequer yesterday. He says
that the finance committee has $500. 900 on
hand ald easily 100000 more in sight.

Christmas vacation. A card of admission
was decided upon for the students. 1t
was also decided TO charge each student
nominal monthly fee of % cents to guaran-
tee his good faith.
1t was resolved to give periodical lee
lures during the fall and tier, free TO
members, on chemistry, mechanics. arch-
lecture and kindred subjects. F. d. Per-
kins wrote offering to deliver lecture on
How to Read and How to Think" and
his offer was favorably considered.
The subject of the Midwinter Fair was
touched upon. A disposition was shown
among the members to aid the pro-
nave merely an educational exhibition. 1t
was plainly stated that if it was intended
to bring goods here to compete with SINH
lar goods on sale in our stores the fair was
not expected to do anything for the city.
If. on the contrary. it brought 100000
people here 10 spend money it deserved
encouragement.
mittee on new building. in reply to ques-
ton, stated that the area proposed for the
MidwInter Fair had originally been 100000
square feet. but had lately been reduced
to $4,000 square feet. The latter estimate
could easily be accommodated in the area
controlled by the institute. Ona member
said he had an idea that the area of the
duced and it would be finally possible to
contain it in the Pavilion.
President A. S. Uallidie. by request,
gave an interesting resume Of recent trip
to the Worlds Fair at Chicago. One of
his purposes there had been to induce ex-
hibitors 10 come over to exhibit In the
regular fall Institute Fair. When he
heard there, however, that a greater fair
was proposed for San Francisco, he had
dropped his efforts for the institute in
favor of the midwinter project. He
agreed. however. with the members. that
something should be done to make the
Pavilion productive Of coin. and thought
it would be possible to propose something
which would not conflict with the larger
enterprise.
Mr.. Halidie's experience at Chicago
impressed him with the fact that the ex-
hibitOrs there were not a very happy set.
The grounds and buildings are marvellous
if anything too large-but the people did
not buy. Foreign exhibitors especially ex-
pressed disappointment. AS an exhibitor
himself he received special condolences on
that subject The number Of visitors was
very much lower than it ought to be. and
he estimated that the fair company would
be out from 100000 10 S14. 100000 on its
outlay. The lesson of it was. he thought,
the folly OF having too large q hall for
your audience. The California building,
while not the most handsome, was the
most attractive at the fair.

Inspector c. A. Noyes seized 500 tins of
opium in Chinatown at daybreak yester-
day. The seizure was the result Of vigil
extending over two days ard nights. Mr..
Noyes had il formation that the struggled
opium was on its way to this city from
Portland. but he had none indicating to
whom it was consigned or to what point it
would be taken.
He made UP his mind to go without sleep
for night or two rather than be baffled In
his efforts to find the drug. All night Sun
day be patrolled Chinatown. but did not
find anything. On Monday night he
again stood watch. AS the day was break
ing he had about made up his mind that
the emIgglers in some way had eluded
him and he was feeling somewhat cha
grined over his discontinue. when his
eye suddenly fell on an express wagon at
that moment being driven rather rapidly
within two blocks of his hiding place. He
Immediately started in pursuit, and in
very few minutes found himself in posses
sion Of 500 tins of Struggled opium, worth
$50O0

UNION IRON WORKS.

The Union Iron Works propose to ex-
hibit one 800 morse power engine and three
boilers with an aggregate of 500 horse
power. They will be complete in every
particular and will be of the latest and
most improved design. The exhibitor will
ask permission to run portion of the
machinery-so much as can be managed
by 500 horse-power-by the engine. The
Union Iron Works will ask the executive
committee of the fair to put in the neces-
sary foundation for the engine and boilers,
but will donate their use to the manage
ment.
Irving NJ. Scott general manager of the
Union Iron Works. said to a CALL re-
porter that he also proposed to make Il
complete exhibit of all the manufactures
of the establishment. He said that speci-
mems of shipwork with models of the big
guns. model Of the Union Iron Works
and it's various productions would also be
shown if the conditions of exhibition were
satisfactory. When asked for an expla-
nation of this remark Mr.. Scott said:
Manufacturers of machines are distinct
from importers. AS belonging to the
former class the Union Iron Works will
make an exhibit if properly protected.
Among the necessary purchases for the
buildings of the proposed Midwinter Fair
ing. pulleys, electric lights. pumping and
a dozen kindred manufactured articles
Local manufacturers have these thing as
well as importers. Suppose that our firm
subscribes $1,000 to the purposes of the ex-
position in Golden Gate Park and that
thereupon the executive committee Sc
cures the articles l have mentioned from
Eastern importers. Then our firm would
simply have subscribed $1,000 to scheme
which would interfere with the products
of our own industry. We would be sub
scrlbers tn fund to provide competition
with our own goods.
There is very unpr0fta BILE COMPETE
ton between the manufacturers and i'm
porters of machinery in this city now.
When you buy an imported boiler which
could be manufactured here, you, as the
purchaser, have the boiler in this city and
the foreign manufacturer has the money.
Whereas, IL the boiler be obtained here
from a local manufacturer, home.industry
is aided, and both moIey and boiler re-
main in the city.
IF the fair committee take such action
as will encourage homo manufacturers,
and l believe it will, then there will be
generous rivalry among manufacturers TO
supply its wants. Then San Francisco
will have both the fair and the money that
it costs in circulation in this community.
1.-The manufacturers OF California can.
not expect to extend the fields of their
operations beyond their present territory
on account OF the cost and the small con-
sideratioD Of giving home industry the
preference. Our works expect to make
large and expensive exhibit, and we will
do all in our power to make the exhibit
success.
1--WE ourselves do not desire any share
of the work, but do not wish that the
local manufacturers. all of whom are suf-
ierng from want of orders. should have
an opportunity to manufacture at homo
for the wants OF the fair"
