the corner of Market and Third streets,
San Francisco. The new structure is to
be the home of the DAILY AND WEEKLY
CALL and will be the finest business place
on the coast. 1t will be 80 feet high, di-
vided into fifteen stories. The material
used in its construction will be granite and
white California marble, and the cost IS
estimated at half million dollars.-San-
ger Herald.
San Francisco May Be Proud of 1t.
Claus Spreckels is about to erect build
ing in San Francisco which will be credit
to the City. The structure will be fifteen
stories in height-the tallest building in
the City-and will cost with the ground on
which it will stand, at the corner of Market
and Third streets, nearly three-quarters of
million dollars. The structure when
completed will be one of which San Fran
cisco may well be proud. 1t will also be
lasting monument to the public spirit of
Mr.. Spreckels. Unlike most Californians
who have accumulated wealth, that gentle
man has laid out his means in this State
instead of taking it East, where so many
California fortunes have gone. Had others
who have grown wealthy in the Golden
State been actuated by the same public
spirit which Mr.. Spreckels displays San
Francisco and the entire State would be
better off to-day.-San Diego Union.
A Monument of Good Works.
Claus Spreckels is about to commence
the erection of a new home for THE CALL.
1t will be on the corner of Market and
Third streets, and will be fifteen stories
high, totally eclipsing the great Chronicle
building. This will be great monument
to the enterprise of the sugar king, and at
the same time great advertisement for
THE CALL. And in the meantime, The
CALL is erecting for itself a monument of
good works that will outlive the building.
The country people of this State have es-
pecial reasons for wishing THE CALL sue
cess and for contributing toward it.-Mer-
ced SIM

Tho Crimson Athletes Decllnation of the Oxford Cambridge Challenge.
 Cambridge June 27.--FIarvard has de- clined the Oxford-Cambridg challenge, as it was pretty well understood she would do.
 The formal letter of decllnation is as follows:
 Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass, U. s. A., June "A, 1895. Messrs. w. J. oakley and F. s. Horan,
 Presidents of the University Athletic
 Clubs of Oxford and Cambrldge:
 Dear Sirs-Your letter of June 10, in- vlting Harvard university to unite with Yale university In meeting the universi- ties of Oxford and Cambridge i'm an ath- letic competition in this country next autumn, has been referred to the liar yard committee on the regulation of athletic sports. We appreciate highly the courtesy of your invitation, and it Is with much regret that we feel oblig- ed to forego the pleasure of the propos- ed competition.
 We could hardly accept your invita- ton without assuming, i'm appearance at least, that Harvard and Yale occupy the prominent position among American universities which is held among Eng fish universities by Oxford and Cam bridge. As there is no foundation i'm fact for such a pretension, We think it better for university athletics in this country, as well as for university inter- ests in general, that we should not lend any countenance to it, and that we should, furthermore, avoid all sem blance of spirit of exclusiveness to- ward our sister universities. Nor, con stdering the narrow ground of athletic skill, can we forget that, in the latest competition among American universi- ties, Harvard won only the third place.
 As matter of general principle it seems to us that international student

competitions would be best arranged either between two groups of universi- ties fairly representing the general body of students In each country, or else be- tween single universities on each side. We regret that you were not free to ac- eept the invitation of the American In- tercollegiate association, and we are es- pecially sorry, if any misconception as to our attitude in regard to that invita- tion influenced you in declining. We should be pleased if, even now you were disposed, with Yale's concurrence, to arrange for a competition on the basis of that invitation.
 If we should be fortunate enough in some future year to win on this side of the water the leadership of the track athletics, which this year belong so un- questionably to Yale, we shall hope to have the pleasure of competing with one of you as the winner of the Oxford Cambridge games Very truly yours,

PEELED to go abroad into the markets of the
East and to meet. there the intrenched forces
by their millions OF capital, years OF prestige

The result is gratifying, to California's pride.
Her asphalts are being admitted and welcomed
everywhere, and it may not be many years be-
fore this industry becomes one of the leading
ones of the State.
There are over 10000 miles of public streets
in the United States that must be paved within
the next two decades. California will dou BIT
less contribute her share to the asphalt supply
therein required.
Surely, with wealth of materials, cheap in

is no reason why San Francisco should not be

THE MERCANTILE LIBRARY
One of It's Life Members Proposes a
Scheme for Its Financial
Improvement.

James J. Robbins, life member of the
Mercantile Library Association, has sub
mitted proposition to the board of trus-
tees OF that institution. by the adoption Of
which he claims the association can be
placed on a sound financial footing.
He proposes that two additional stories
be added to the present structure, and that
these and the present two upper floors be
SO constructed as to make them suitable
for hotel purposes. His plan provides for
thirty-three rooms on each floor These,
he claims, could be rented for $12,67 a
year
In order 10 raise the money for the pro-
posed improvement Mr.. Robbins suggests
that $125000 be raised on per cent bonds.
The amount thus realized would also en-
able the association to take up the 81 per
cent mortgage of $75, 900 now outstanding
and effect considerable saving in interest
thereon.
Under the existing circumstances the
association is paying $4S75 interest annu-
ally and is deriving but $1,000 year from
rents. Under the new proposition the
total interest would be increased but $1375,
while the calculated rental would be
$12, 672.
Action will be taken on the matter at
the next meeting of the association, to be
held July 8.

MORE COOLIES COMING.
Japanese Laborers Entering the United
States by Land Over the North
ern Line.

The reports of the recent Japanese cody
labor investigation have been sent to
Japan and Victoria, B. G. AS result the
japanese are more cautious about attempt
ing to enter this port, as they have been
told that immigrants are subjected to very
rigid examinations by the Labor and I'M
migration Commissioners.
Jap coolies are now entering the United
States by other and easier routes, Yester-
day Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald re-
ceived the following dispatch on this SUBJ
ject from friend in the north:
Nearly 100 Japanese laborers passed through
Jacksonville, Or, last week bound south ia
San Francisco from Portland. They are trav.
cling in small parties on foot to save railroad
fare and seem to be enjoying the trip.
Inspector Geffeney learned from one OF
the recent Japanese arrivals from British
Columbia that in two japanese hotels in
Victoria there were over 300 Japanese
laborers waiting favorable opportunity
to enter California They are being sent
to this port in lots of from four to a dozen.
About 800 Japs are now working in the
salmon canning establishments in British
Columbia and as soon as the season is
over they propose to come to this State
for work.

DR., KRAUSKOPF'S LECTURE
His Farewell Address on "The
ISraelite as a Husband
man."
The Rabbi Says He Has Consecrated
His Life to the Colonial
ton Plan.

DR. Joseph Krauskopf of Philadelphia
gave the third of his series of lectures at
Temple Emanuel last evening. His
theme was ''The Israelite as Husband
man" He opened with vivid picture OF
a harvest scene in ancient Israel. He pro-
ceeded to show that the greatest men of
that nation were engaged in the pursuit of
agriculture and that it was indeed the only
pursuit of that time. He called husbandry
''as much of a sacred legacy to the people
as was the monotheistic Belief He con-
trasted the former beauty of Palestine
with its present desolation and said that
desolation was largely due to the fact that
Rome ''craZed by the blood of conquest,
degraded the art of tilling the soil.
Dwelling upon the present status of the
occupation he said:
In modern times the husbandman's lot has
changed considerably for the better He is a
free man now, and of all free men the freest,
Still he does not yet receive the full recognition
he merits. Not yet do we honor as much as we
should the hand that hardens for us, the back
that bends for us, the face that browns for us
We are beginning to feel that our safety lies
in creating a counter current from the city to
the country, in turning the stream of immi-
grafton from the seaboard towns to the rural
districts, where farm labor is wanted, where
those who have been transplanted from the
congested labor centers have had their starva-
ton changed to plenty.
Or. krauSkopf stated at the conclusion
of his lecture that the purpose OF his visit
to the West is desire to raise $50, 00C
to purchase land on which a build
ing to cost $50, 000-which will be raised in
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Boston-will be erected for the Jewish A gri-
cultural College. He said he had no doubt
that in the cities where Jews could build
palatial clabhouses they could give few
hundred or thousand dollars for this pur-
pose without interfering with local chart
ties. The object of the school is to train
uperintendents, leaders and teachers for
agricultural colonies of Russian Jews. Bar
on Hirsch stands ready to furnish means
for colonization when such training of oul
young men and women will insure that
there shall be no more disastrous failures
brought on by lack of preparation.
He made an earnest plea for the school
saying that he had consecrated his life tc
the plan for which it stands.
The congregation of Emanuel will
make an effort to contribute several thou,
sand dollars to the fund.
DR.. Krauskopf leaves for the South this
morning and will speak at San Diego to-
morrow evening, and lecture at several
points on the Santa Fe route on his jour.
ney homeward. An invitation to address
a congregation at Oakland came too late.

my JACK" IN COURT.
The Author Is Sued for an Attorneys
Fee and Is Compelled
to Paw.

to Fay.
J. j. Rauer, as the assignee of John M.
Chretien, was plaintiff in suit before JUS
tice of the Peace Groezinger yesterday
against Walter Sanford, playwright, who is
now playing in his own creations at
Morosco's.
The suit was to recover $3.50 for legal
services, the story of which is as follows:
Less than year ago play was on the
boards at the same theater entitled "The
Naval Hero" and which Chretien by in
quiry learned was really Sanfords play of
my Jack" only the name being changed.
He promptly telegraphed to New York
advising Sanford, who was playing there,
of the fact. In answer he received tele-
gram telling him to get out an injunction
stopping it. He did so. Subsequently,
however, the play Was again put on, he ad-
mitted As he had never been paid for
his services he sued for $3.50. The agree
ment had been that he was to get 500 for
his work, but as he had been compelled to
sue, and thus must give up expectations of
furthur employment from Mr.. Sanford,
upon which he had based his original fee,
he increased the amount.
In answer the actor and playwright tes-
titled that he had agreed to pay 500 for
having his interests looked after, but as
the matter had been allowed to go by de-
fault and his piece under its changed name
leve that the attorney forsook him and
had accepted money from the proprietor
of the theater to cease his hostilities.
This position was not sustained by other
evidence. and the court gave judgment
for 500

BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Over Three Hundred Thousand Dollars
to Repair the Schoolhouses-Sal-
aries Deferred.

The Board of Education met last night.
The application of Miss Victorine NJ.
Raelet for renewal of her certificate as
teacher was refused, and also the petition
of Mrs. Phillips asking that she be ap-
pointed ianitress in the department. A
complaint, numerously signed, requesting
the removal of Miss C. M. Johnston, prin-
cipal of Fremont School, on the ground of
Partially and suspending pupils without
cause, was carried over to the next meet
ing of the board.
The Madison primary school presented
a strong petition requesting the board to
authorize the construction of a new build
ing in order to accommodate the children
entitled to school privileges in that dis
trict.
The Sunnyside District presented a pc
that the Sunnyside Land Company was
willing to furnish the ground.
The Committee on Finance recommended
that no salaries be paid until next month.
This action is due to the fact that the
State apportionment will not be made IN
til that time.
The printing contracts for the fiscal
year were let to the following firms
Brown, Bly, & Co., James A. Pariser and
the Hicks-Judd Company.
A resolution was also passed authorizing
the erection Of 400-pound scales in every
school building having eight or more
classes. The principal, in the presence OF
the janitor, will be required to weigh the
coal as it is received.
Director McElroy, chairman of the Com
mittee on Buildings and Grounds, read a
report. He has made an extended exam
ination of the public school buildings and
grounds and finds that it will cost $3.50, 500
to put them in perfect repair and necessary
repairs would reach the handsome sum OF
$4,000. Mr.. McElroy's report will be con-
sidered at the next meeting of the board.
Before adjournment it was announced
that the janitors' salaries would be paid as
| usual on the 5th OF the month.
