AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Recent Opinion of Solicitor General
Reeve Widens the Scope of the
Chinese Exclusion Act.

The Washington dispatches of yester-
day referred to a recent opinion rendered
by Solicitor-General Reeve, which con-
siderably extends the scope of the Chinese
exclusion act.
1t has been held in the past that only
Chinese engaged in mercantile pursuits
were entitled to the re-entry provisions of
the law, and it was to settle this point that
Collector Wise refused admission to Lew
Yee Soon, a restaurant-keeper of Los
Angeles. The opinion of Solicitor-General
Reeve is in effect that the law prohibiting
the re-entry into the United States of
Chinese who have once gone out is re-
stricted in its operations to laborers alone.
The courts have decided that Chinese
laundrymen come under the head of
skilled labor, and while this latest opinion
will not affect that, it will be the means of
extending privileges to thousands of celes-
tials who have hitherto ranked as la borers

POLICE CHIEFS change.
SChaffer Walks Out and LlOyd
Fills His Place in Oak
land.
THE MAYOR IN A NEW ROLE.
Davie Condemns the Commission
ers for Doing What He Could
Not Do Himself.

Charles E. Lloyd took possession of the
Office of the Chief of Police yesterday by
virtue of his appointment by the Board of
Public Works. Ex-Chief Schaffer made a
show of opposition and handed Mr.. Lloyd
q formal protest, in which he declined to
surrender the Office on the ground that his
term of office does not expire till Novem-
Der, 1896.
Mr.. Lloyd was on hand at 6 o'clock in
the morning, and having obtained key
to the Chiefs private Office, he entered and
formally demanded the property in the
possession of Schaffer.
The old Chief refused to give it up and
protested. After doing so Schaffer went
to the Mayors Office and held consulta-
ton with Mayor Davie.
To the surprise of everybody Mayor
Davie is doing all in his power to oppose
Lloyd and has put himself on record as
saying that his appointment is illegal. He
asked the City Attorney for an opinion as
to whether the Board of Works can re-
move an official at pleasure, and that
official stated that he believed all the pro-
ceedings were regular and that the board
acted within the scope of its powers.
The Mayors position is very unpopular
with his party and there are threats that
he may be read out if he persists in his
efforts to prevent Populists from getting
the spoils. His loyalty to Chief Schaffer
can only be explained by an ante-election
pledge, with which Populist leaders de-
clare they are not familiar.
Schaffer's friends regret that he did not
step out without any show of resentment.
When he took office his predecessor was
dismissed on charges which proved salts
factoriy to the board that he was incom-
petent. The charges were of the most
trivial nature. The Commissioners say
that in the case of Schaffer they are very
confident of being satisfied should he press
them to discharge him.
Chief Lloyd made his first appointment
Yesterday afternoon. G. E. Lloyd, we'll
known Popullst, was given the position
held by Louis Agnews, which was that of
chief clerk. Captains Wilson and Fletcher
We're instructed by the new chief to run
things as usual, and Mr.. LLOYD says there
will be no changes until he has thoroughly
familiarized himself with the workings of
the department.

LATEST BERKELEY ITEMS,
Applications for Street Rail-
way Franchises to Be
Considered.
Boxing Match Postponed - Entries
for the Crescent's Bicycle
Races.

The Board of Town Trustees will hold
its regular meeting tonight. Among the
business that will come up for considera-
tion is the granting of two street railroad
franchises, one to the Oakland Consoli-
dated Railway Company and the other to
W. E. Sell and Theodore Wagner. The
former is for an extension of the Con-
solidated Companys lines to North
Berkeley. There is at present no trans
portation service in that section other than
that of the Southern Pacific local trains.
Messrs. Sell and Wagner, who are stock
holders In the Berkeley Electric Lighting
Company, desire to construct an electric
road between East and West Berkeley to
follow the line of the horsecars now run
ming. Mr.. Sell is the owner of the present
horsecar system and with Mr.. Wagner is
Joint owner of a franchise for a road from
Berkeley station to the terminus of Mr..
Sells road, south along Shattuck avenue
to Bancroft way, east along the latter
thoroughfare to College avenue and on
College avenue south to the town boun-
dary.
In the event of the franchise being
granted for an electric road to West
Berkeley in place of the horsecar line
Messrs. Sell and Wagner propose to con-
solidate the two franchises and have one
system from West Berkeley to the south
ern town boundary at College avenue.

Crescent Club five-mile race from San Le-
andre to Haywards next Sunday:

FOLSOM STREET BOULEVARD.

The Appropriation to Be Considered by
the Finance Committee Tonight.
The residents of the Mission are anx-
iously awaiting the action of the Finance
Committee of the Board of Supervisors to-
night concerning the appropriation of
$4,000 for the proposed Folsom-street
boulevard. The promoters of the enter
prise have not been idle, though little con-
cerning their movements has been seen re-
Gently in the public prints. Committees
from the property and improve
ment clubs along Folsom street have
waited on every member of the board and
these, with but single exception, have ap-
proved the plan.
Supervisor Taylor alone opposes the
boulevard. He says that this is a bad year
in which to make such extensive improve
ments and claims the additional tax will
fall too heavily at this time upon the small
property holders and the poor taxpayers.
The Missionites, however, say that Mr.
Taylor is trying 10 curry favor with the
rich, and that while claiming to represent
the small property-owners, he is really do
ing the bidding of the wealthy.
"The situation as regards Folsom street."
said A. B. Mcguire yesterday, 'is not gem
orally understood. If the people realized
that instead of asking for $4,000 for the
boulevard we ask only $4,000 there would
be no opposition. Such is the fact, too, for
while the amount of the appropriation is
$50, 900, the condition of the street is such
that if the boulevard idea is not carried out
and the old pavement is replaced the re-
pairs will cost at least $4,000. In case the
basalt blocks are replaced on a cemen t
foundation as required by recent ordi-
nance they will cost cents foot more
than would bitumen. When these things
are considered it seems to me that every
thinking man will favor the boulevard plan
on the score of economy if for no other
reason"
In case no action concerning the appro-
priation is taken by the Finance Commit
tee tonight, the board of governors of the
Associated Cycling Clubs will, at their
meeting next Saturday night, arrange for
another grand demonstration in favor of
the boulevard and the improvement clubs
will call a mass-meeting for the same pur-
pose.
Confer was originally simply to carry
with.

tional school facilities.
The Board of Supervisors met yesterday 20
consider the bids for the construction of a cul-
vert over Sausal Creek on East Fourteenth
street, just this side of Fr uitvale avenue. They

The attempt to remove Myles Doody, the
First Assistant Chief of the Fire Department at
a recent meeting of the Board of Police and
Fire Commissioners has brought forth much
opposition from insurance men.

One of the Charges Against Him Dis
missed on a Technically.
Leo de Cardona, ex-bookkeeper of the
Street Department, appeared in Judge
Campbelps court yesterday to answer an
other charge of passing fraudulent demand
warrants.
The particular warrant in question was
for $24, on May 81, in the name of William
Little, for labor, which, it was alleged, was
false and fraudulent.
Ex-Judge Humphreys, for the defendant,
moved for dismissal on the ground of
informality of the complaint. In the COM
plant it was stated that the defendant had
presented the claim to the Auditing Com
mlttee of the Board of Supervisors. That
committee did not come under section "
OF the Penal Code, which designates who
shall allow or pay a claim
The Judge agreed with defendants coun-
sci and dismissed the case.

were other charges to be filed against the
defendant, who has already been held to
answer on one charge.

When Lydia E. Pinkham first --nt out
the news of her great discovery, there
was no lack of harsh speech from those
whose practice and opinions she set at
defiance.
But when young girls by the hundreds
were absolutely cured by Lydia 3. Pink
HAMS Vegetable Compound, then the
tongues of the traducers were stilled, and
faith was allowed to live in the hearts of
the people.
Young girls are subject to this trouble.
It robs them of the buoyancy of youth.
1t makes all effort distasteful.
1t causes retention and suppression of
menses, leucorrhea, severe headache,
waxy complexion, depression, weakness,
loss of appetite and interest.
Certainly mothers ought to know that
these are all symptoms of the one cause
of nearly all the suffering that comes TO
women; and to save their daughters
ought to begin treatment at once.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the surest and most natural
remedy for women ever compounded. It
will accomplish its work with certainty.
