To Expunge Elm Avenue.

Joseph Schwartz and Meta Ecka, owners of
property on Golden Gate avenue through which
Elm avenue extends-on the map-petitioned
the Supervisors yesterday to expunge it from
the map. The petition was submitted by Ellert
d Squires, attorneys for the petitioners, and
declares that the avenue has never been opened
and was decided to another individual by the
donor before it was dedicated to the city as a
street; and further, that the Supervisors did
once pass an order expunging it, but that the
order was vetoed.

MEADE IN A PICKLE.
HIS LEAVE OF ABSENCE HAS BEEN
REVOKED.
The Effort VIII Be to Place the Ad-
miraI on Waiting Orders, SUBJ
ject to Any Duty, at ANY Time.

Washington, May 15.-The secretary
of the navy has issued an order re-
voking the leave of absence granted
to Rear Admiral Meade several days
ago.
When Admiral Meade became dis
satisfied with his command, and asked
to be detached from the command of
the North Atlantic squadron, he also
asked for leave of absence of a year,
with permission to so abroad, saying
at the same time that he would ask in
a day or two to be relieved. His re-
quest to be detached was Immediately
granted, as was the request for the
years leave of absence.
Then came the request to be retired,
but before any action could be taken,
the interview was published which
has caused so much difficulty. No ac-
ton has been taten upon the request
for retirement, but the action revOk-
ing the leave of absence also indicates
the request for retirement will not be
complied with. The effect will be to
place Admiral Meade on waiting or
ders subject to any duty, at any
time, which the department may de-
sire TO assign him. 1t was understood
the leave of absence granted Admiral
Meade contained permission 10 go
abroad, and he intended to spend the
summer in Europe. He could not so
abroad while on waiting orders, with
out violating the naval regulations. If
he were not ready to respond to any
order of the department when issued,
he would also be subject to discipline
for not obeying orders. 1t is believed,
now. that it is hardly likely that any
action will be taken to court-martial
Admiral Meade for his expression of
disapproval Of the administration, as
it is said to be impossible to obtain
testimony from competent witnesses.
Civilians cannot be obliged to testify
in naval court martials, although
their testimony may be taken, if vol
unfairly offered. It is not believed
that any direct testimony against Ad-
miral Meade can be so obtained.

Washington. May 15.-Consul General
Geringan. at Shanghai, China, has sent 10
the state department a comprehensive re-
port of trade relations with China. After
prefacing the statement with a report
about the civil government of China, and
the principal commercial city OF the
empire, the consul-general argues in
favorable terms OF an International
standard of value.
He says China is a. large market for
cotton goods, but there has been falling
off from $3.50, 600 yards in 1892, to q I06.-
OOO yards in 1898. There has been a falling
OF in the case of Great Britain from 49,
$4,000 yards in 1892, TO S65,405.0O0 in 1898.
The loss as regards the United States is
so great, he says, as to excite anxiety.
In 1873 the mills of the Orient and Occi-
dent were competing on relatively equal
terms, and receiving good returns. Now
In 1884 each mill employs the same
amount of labor as it did in 1913, but the
owner of the mill in the United States
pays for the labor in gold at the. old
rates, while the owner of the mill in
Japan pays for labor in silver at the old
rate. Not only does this principle OF the
difference in the value of currency in
which labor is paid IN the eastern anG
western countries apply to wages, but IL
applies to whatever is essential to the
success of agricultural and manufacture
ing enterprise.
If the land acquired twenty-five years
ago by the foreigners in Shanghai was
now worth $25,00O,O00, and was sold for
what II originally cost IN 81! -eT, ana the
proceeds converted into golC. the loss
would be about S12.OCO.OOO, and by this
rule it appears the inequality. In the
value of silver and gold has reduced the
gold value of the worlds property one
half. 1 am not writing in favor OF .
gold or silver standard. but in favor OF
an equalizing adjustment between the
two. Silver is used by One-haf of the
world, and gold by the other half, and
while wages in one-half are paid IN a
deprecated currency and in the other
half by an appreciated currency, a
rivalry between the respective products
of the labor of each is encouraged with
the advantage from the outset 10 the pro
ducts of the laborer paid in deprecated
currency, and especially when the latter
can supply his daily wants with such
currency, and which he willingly re-
ceives and remains contented with Not
withstanding the plague and the war and
consequent distractions at the port. the
total value of foreign commerce OF China
in 1894 was greater than ever before Inc
customs receipts were greater than in any
other year except 1881

injuring several others and carrying
one away. Latter accounts would indi-
cate that the renegade Kid had a

returns to the reservation. After the
disturbance, they left the reservation,

BOUNDARY QUESTION.
Important British Documents Found

at Honolulu.
Washington, D. c., May 1J.-Acco-i-
ing to adviceS received here. i'm oo-,ant
British documents have been found at
Honolulu as to the pending British
Venezuela boundary question, II which
the United States has urged arbitra-
ton as a means Of settlement. As
sistant Surveyor-Gen Charles J.
Lyons, of Hawaii, has examined them
and has made a map accompanied by a
statement which, it is said, SUPPORTS
the Venezuelan contention, even on
the evidence presented thus far by the
British. The records brought to public
attention by Mr. Lyons was furnished
Hawaii by the British foreign offica
when Hawaii was a monarchy largely
under British control. They are on file
in the surveyors Office at Honolulu.
Lyons was led to make an investiga-
ton by the publication last month Of
the official British map of Guinea. ter
ritOry- On comparing this with the
map furnished by the foreign Office
twenty years ago he found the bOun-
dairy line entirely changed. The first
map gave the line as Venezuela claims
1t should be. The last map shifts the
line far westward. and includes aS
British territory about 10000 square
miles which the first map showed to De
clearly Venezuelan territory. The old
map was made by the Royal Geograph-
ical society in England, and therefore
given official approval and sent out
by the foreign office. 1t Is therefore
considered of scientific as well as Of
fetal value. Mr.. Lyons says: The
area thus taken in, as shown on these
maps themselves, is 10000 square
miles or more. larger than the area OF
