PHENOMENA OF GLACIERS,
A Highly Interesting and In
structive Lecture by Prof.
Jenkins.
Glacial Evidences on the Pacific Coast
Have Never Been Thoroughly
Studied.

Professor o. P. Jenkins of Stanford University
delivered a lecture of vast interest and in
struction at the Academy of Sciences last
evening.
He spoke on the subject of "Glaciers Past
and Present" and accompanying his descrip-
lions he exhibited a series of magnificent
stereopticon views. which illustrated the de-
tails Of the phenomena of the glaciers in that
great glacial region surrounding Mount Blanc
in the Alps.
The pictures, beginning at the terminal
point of a large glacier, would, one after an
other, carry the view far up into the lofty re-
cesses of the mountains, where, from around
the snow cap of Mount Bianc the ice streams
descended in all directions.
If one pick up along stream pebble, said
the professor, he will find it a rounded one.
AS water falls into a stream from bank there
are certain definite things 1t does with the
pebble. 1t not only makes them round but has
another peculiar power OF sorting the large
stones from the small. The finest stones are
always found at the end OF the water course.
These characteristics of what water Will do
gives us a KEY to what il has done when we find
stones away from existing water courses.
The glacial geology OF this coast has not been
studied thoroughly. One OF the noted geolo-
pists has said that there are glacial marks in
the coast range, The glacial region OF Califor-
MIA extends down only about 5000 feet in the
Sierras There are many phenomena In the
coast range which might be Interpreted as the
result of glacial action.
The great glacial areas of the world are found
in the northern part OF North America and
that portion of Asia adjacent to Hindostan.
The glacial phenomena of the region around
Mount Blanc have been studied very carefully.

JAPANESE-MAOE GOODS,
The Question Of Cheap Labor
and Competition Under
Discussion.
Two Committee Reports to Be Pre-.
scented to the Manufacturers
Association.

At the last meeting of the Manufacture
ers' Association committee consisting of
Directors Sonntag, Sproule and Saroni was
appointed to look into the matter of cheap
Japanese goods imported into this country
in competition with American manufac-
tured goods and wares.
Yesterday the committee met; that is
Chairman Sonntag and Mr.. Saroni dis
cussed the matter. Mr.. Sproule.was unable
to atten d, owing to i'll health.
Chairman Sonntag said that he was in
favor or recommen ding the move that was
most favored at the directors meeting
that of calling a mass-meeting of all the
manufacturers and representative business
bodies. He argued that the Manufacturers
and Producers Association should put
itself on record as being opposed to the
i'm portation of cheap japanese goods.
He said that tariff might have some
effect, but not sufficient for the protection
that American manufacturers were en-
titled to have. The matter, Mr.. Sonntag
contended, should be settled by treaty
between. Japan and the United States, by
which all articles coming into competition
with home made products should be ex-
cluded.
Congress should appoint a committee to
investigate the matter and see if there was
any danger and IL the statements concern
ing the prospects of cheap japanese goods
flooding the American markets were true.
If found to be true Congress could put a
stop to the importations
In conclusion he said that it was the
duty of the association to take a decided
stand for the protection OF the manufac-
uurers and the laborers against a common
enemy, fer the workingmen of this coun-
try, who receive none too much of the
comforts and necessarles of life, would
suffer equally with the employers if this
condition of affairs lasted much longer.
Mr.. Saroni took an opposite view of the
situation and argued that the danger had
been exaggerated. His main argument
was that the matter was entirely outside
the scope OF the Manufacturers ana Pro-
ducers' Association, which should deal
with State and not with National matters.
He asserted that such restrictions as sug-
gested by the chairman would put the
community entirely at the mercy of trusts
and com binations more inlmical to the
welfare of the public than the danger COM
planned of.
As the two committeeman could not
agree upon the nature of the report they
would return to the board of directors they
decided to submit their respective views
upon the question.

Mullin, on the ground of error in refusing
tn ad NIT festimOpy

Mullin, on the ground of error in refusing
to admit testimony.
Mary Mullin, widow of the testator, pro-
duced the will in the Superior Court and
petitioned for its probate, and a contest
was entered by the brothers and sisters OF
the deceased, they alleging undue lnf1u-
ence and unsoundness of mind. The YER
dict of the jury set aside the will.
In reviewing the testimony the Supreme
Court calls attention to the ruling Upon
the testimony Of George A. Proctor, the
attorney who drew up the will and who
was one of the witnesses; and also the tes-
timony of DR.. John Lagan, the attending
physician and witness to the will.
Proctor was told by the testator how he
wanted his property disposed of, and then
Proctor went into another room and drew
up the document. When he returned Null
lin signed it and asked him to be wit
ness.
Proctor was asked about the converse
ton which had taken place before he drew
up the testament but the questions were
not allowed, on the ground that they re-
lated to privileged communications.
The Supreme Court holds this to be
error, as after becoming witness to the
will the attorney could not be prevented
from giving evidence as to the mental con-
dition of the testator under the guise of it
being privileged communication.
With DR.. Lagan's evidence the same ru1-
ing was made in the court below. and the
same comment comes from the court above.

Eager Desire on the Part of the
Grand Jury to Uncover
Him.
MORE WITNESSES CALLED.
The Jury Received the Names of Men
Who Paid Money to Beat the
Pool Ordinance.

Since the adjournment of the Grand
Jury last Monday night leading mem bers
OF that body have been actively engaged
in pursuit of information concerning the
contribution of Doodle to defeat or delay
the passage of tho pool ordinance.
The members of the Grand Jury are
wholly convinced that the leading citizens
of San Francisco-a vast majority of the
best people of the City-strongly favor the
crusade against pool selling, open poker
shops and gambling establishments of va
rious kinds. The merchants, the indem-
nifty associations and leading institutions
of the City are in accord with the general
sentiment against all phases of gambling
which tend to demoralize the bows and
young men.
While the Ora nd Jury has en- Joined upon
it's mem bers the greatest secrecy informa-
ton is derived from an authentic source
that the Jury received last Monday night
the names OF persons who said that thew
had paid money to defeat the pool order
AS to whether the name of the person to
whom tAe money was paid was made
known to the jury is still question
of doubt. The mem bers of the inquisitive
institution are, however, highly elated and
assert that they have something of a def
mite character to govern future inquiry.
The report that great number of wit
nesses will be summoned to attend the
session next Friday does not lack coniir-
nation. The belief is strong that many
of the leading booksellers, as we'll as at
taches of commission" establishments,
will be called to the new City Hall that
day.
The witnesses of the meeting of the
Grand Jury Monday, and particularly the
Supervisors, were asked many questions
about the reported combine of eight
Supervisors, and frequent reference was
made to the record showing that eight
members of the board had solidly voted
against measures which had been highly
recommended as beneficial, and had also
voted solidly in favor of measures which
the public regard as dangerous.
The Grand Jury maze special inquiry
with view of ascertaining whether the
Solid Eight had an attorney. agent or
broker, who represented them as a body,
end whose advice governed them in NUM-
cpal legislation. The unity of action
which has long distinguished the conduct
of the eight Supervisors has strongly I'M
pressed the Grand Jury with the belief that
leadership has been invoked. 1t is the idea

ALONG THE FRONT.
The Remains of Emma Brown, Who
Shot Herself at Unga, Arrived
on the Pearl.

Among the arrivals yesterday was the
schooner Pearl from Unga Island, Alaska.
Her cargo was nearly all composed of furs
and gold and silver ore for the Alaska
Commercial Company. On board were
also the remains of Emma Brown, the
young daughter of F. R. Brown, who shot
herself in Unga on the 7th of November
last. The young woman had been de-
spondent for some time, and in fit Of
desperation she seized her fathers revolver
and sent bullet through her heart. An
inquest was held, and the verdict OF the
jnry was that said Emma Brown did by
her own hand, with Colts 3S-caliber re-
volver, shoot herself through the heart,
from the effects of which shot she in
Stantly died."
The deceased and her father had many
relatives and friends III San Francisco, so
the remains were sent here for interment.
Fourth-street bridge has broken down
again, and the shipping men are bowling.
The accident happened yesterday, and in
consequence seven lumber vessels and
three or four other craft are tied up in
Channel street. Just as many schooners
are waiting to get in, and yesterday the
cursing was loud and frequent when a
tugboat captain came along with tow
and found the bridge closed down for re-
pairs. The Board of Supervisors should,
once for all, put the structure In thor
ough state of repairs, and thus prevent the
periodical breakdowns, and the consequent
toppage of the shipping traffic.
The Hawaiian ship John Ena, which
made the smart run of fifty-six days from
, Newcastle, n. S. W.. has discharged her
cargo of coal at Oakland. She will come
over to Main-street wharf and take in bal
last. She will then go to Puget Sound and
load lumber for Australia. Captain
Schnauer will not go out on her, and Cap
tain Madison will take his place.

side, above face that was coy and pleas
ing to look upon,
There was perceptlble heichtening of
color in that face as she stepped up on the
box and sat in one of the chairs. There
was Police Gazette in the empty chair to
her right, but she turned to her left and
spoke as calmly and unconcernedly as
might be to her escort, gentleman who
wore brown business suit and appeared
to be suffering from an acute attack of
ennui.
She raised her black skirt to within half
an inch of her shoetops, and said to the
amazed bootblacks, 'Pll have shine,
please
The bootblacks gazed at the Trilbv feet
encased in the finest and softest calfskin,
but bottomed by heavy walking soles that
projected pronouncedly over the uppcrs-
they looked, gasped, and then set to work.
1t was at the noon hour and Clay street
was busy with passing men and women
They stopped and stared for an instant at
the unusual sight, then went on to their
luncheons. IF she in the bootblacks chair
was annoyed at this notoriety she con-
cealed 1t carefully. She talked to her
companion steadily and declined to return
the staring chances of the passers-by.
Presently the job was done. and the
bootblacks could see their own faces in the
shining surface of the Tribes before
them. Two of the footrests were removed
and the bell-skirt, tan jacket, alpine hat
and all the rest stepped demurely down
and handed the nearest bootblack a nickel.
Mechanically he reached for the hat, to
brush it. then saw the feather in it and
hesitated-and was lost.
Then the lady and her escort boarded
the passing Clay street car and rode to-
ward the ferry.
"I'll stake dime for charity she's
from Chicagop' said the wondering boot
black as he tossed the nick Ell in his drawer
and started in on pair of cork soles that
had been wading in water front mud.

as Mount Blanc, are individual and derive
their source from the heaping of snow on the
SUBMITS OF the high peaks.
This snow, by its own weight, is pressed
down the sides of the peak and is transformed
by the action of the sun into ice, which in
great masses passes down through the higher
surface fields OF mountain formation until it
reaches the milder climate OF the lower valleys.
At this point the ice is melted and the water,
flowing from il, forms the sources of the
journey downward flows like veritable
stream at a rapidity of from eighteen to
twenty-five inches day. The rapidity of the
current is found by drilling line of sticks
across the ice and measuring on the sides the
distance passed in twenty-four hours.
Ice is highly plastic, and the flow of glacier
Is like the flow of .viscid pitch. Small rocks
and powders are shaken down from the preci-
pitous sides of the mountain through which
the glacier passes and pile themselves together
with earth on either side OF the glacial stream.
These heaps of soil and rock are called "lat-
eral moralneS. When true glacial streams in
their course unite the lateral moralne of the
right side of one ranges alongside of the NOR
aine OH the left side of the other. and this
center heap in the augmented ice stream, re-
semblinga vast windrow of earth, is called a
"median moraine." When the glacier melts
in the warmer valleys these collections of rock
are deposited at the meeting point and form
the terminal moraine.
The rocks and powders in such deposite d
heap are never rounded and are but slightly
scratched.
Beneath the glacier, if all the ice were to be
melted, would be found q smooth, polished
surface of rock, worn thus by the action OF the
passing ice At the sides of the ice stream the
rocks in the mountain would appear
scratched.
In This way when rocks are found in locali-
ties OF the world remote from present glaciers,
yet presenting the same characteristics, it may
be safely concluded that a glacier has passed
that way and its direction OF flow may be
ascertained.
In Indiana, which has not naturally any
granite rocks, large powders of granite have
Canada. The region of the Sawtooth Noun
tains in Idaho present similar glacial phenom-
ena found in the Alps. Continental glaciers
as distinct from individual glaciers are found
at the present day only in Greenland and lee
land. The courses of continental glaciers as
far down toward the equator as Indiana have
never been satisfactorily explained.

In the Eastern metropolises it is no
longer an extraordinary spectacle to see
well-dressed women sitting high in the

leather polish rubbed and brushed upon
the surface of her substantial, common
sense shoes. In San Francisco it is differ
ent, but perhaps it won't be so for long.
The ice was broken yesterday by styl-
ishly dressed young woman who mounted
the bootblack's stand on the south side of
Clay street, just door or two below Mont
gomery. She wore short tan jacket above

yards and yards of haircloth lining. There
was a dainty Alpine hat, with feather on

that they have q leader or agent outside
the board. for it is well known that no in
dividuaI member of the Solid Eight has
shown any great capacity for leadership or
organization.
The Grand Jury has, therefore, resolved
to employ its greatest diligence, patience
and skill to uncover the agent.of the ma
jority of the Supervisors. Members COM
prehend that the task is not an easy one.
II is easy to get rumors, reports and hear
say statements, but it is very difficult in
deed to get actual facts and documents to
corroborate common rumor.
1T is deemed advisable at this time to
keep secre: the names OF witnesses desired
at the next session. There is apprehen-
sion that two or three of the men wanted
may conclude to take advantage of cheap
railroad fares to spend the holidays in the
East.
General J. H. Dickinson was asked yes
terdav if he knew why the majority of the
Board of Supervisors had delayed action
on the pool ordinance.
He said that he had been so busy in tie
Durrant case that he had not talked with
the Supervisors for some time. He re-
marked that the partnership which he
and Supervisor Hughes formed IN the Ma
tional Guard was as strong as ever, and
that Colonel Hughes had consulted him
several times on matters connected with
municipal legislation.
General Dickinson said that the pool
ordinance, as it came from the Grand
Jury, was weak, as it allowed pool-selling
on foreign races. He pointed out the
weak spot to Supervisor Hughes. The
general said, so far as his individual pref
erence went, he would stop pool-seling IN
the City ana on the racetrack. He under
stood that fifteen booksellers at the race
course each paid 500 day for the priv
ilege of selling pools during the racing
days.
The general said he did not know who
was now acting as the agent or attorney of
the booksellers.

Patrick Kelly was yesterday held by
Judge Low to answer before the Superior
Court on two charges of assault to murder
in $4,000 bonds each.
The evidence showed that in the early
morning of November 81 Kelly met J.
Wooler and John Welsh, two sailors, on
Main street, and asked them where he
could get drink. The three went to a
saloon on Folsom street, where they had
several drinks. Tie saloon-keeper refused
to- give them more liquor and ordered
them out. AS they were walking along
Main street Kelly without any provocation
drew razor out of mis- pocket and cut and
sashed at Wooler and Welsh till they fell
bleeding from their numerous wounds.
