MISSION IN NEED OF MONEY
Central Union Work Embarrassed by
Lack Of Necessary Funds.
Judge KimbalI, r. d. Bailey, C. T..
Special Mass-meetinG.

A special mass meeting was held at
the Central Union Mission last night for
for the purpose Of discussing how best to
raise the overdue quarterly payments on
the mission building. There are now
$4,000 unpaid OF these instalments that
fan due every three months.
Mr.. E. d. Bailey presided over the
meeting as usual After aninteresting intro
ductory service OF song, prayer and testi-
mony, he laid before the meeting the
financial condition of the mission as re-
ported by the board Of directors.
The whole debt on the building at present,
said he is $4,000 The mission edifice
was purchased two years 20 for $50 600
To this cost $1,000 was added for re-
pairs out Of the SO, 600 part was paid
by subscriptions Of generous citizens. Last
January, Mr.. Bailey explaiuedI the mission
adopted the plan Of taking 30 cent monthly
subscriptions in the nature of pledges from
the members and friends of the mission.
Strenuous efforts have been made to
raise the number Of monthly subscribers
TO 900, as that would make the fund
average $1,000 a year. or an amount suf-
fiCent 70 meet the quarterly payments
aud interest
Only coo pledges have been given and
some ol those pledges arH nov GrHnHUe'ii> =
Tie only way out Of the difficulty, TO Mr.
Baley's mind, was to increase the number
Of monthly 5O-ceut subscribers.
Judge Kimban, Of the police court, spoke
next He Is chairman of the building
committee. He said that the building was
needed and would be paid for. He asked
the congregation to pray for its success.
He proposed a daily night and morning
prayer, and half OF the audience of 500
promised TO indulge in II.
On Investigation Judge Kimball said he
had found that there was approximately
$500 unpaid He urged greater dill
gence in the canvas for new monthly sub
scribers He himself had occurred $50
and he thought each one of them could Sc
cure another pledgcr
Charles E. Foster also talked on the
necessity OF raising the money, and offered
10 be the first Of ten men, each of whom
should give $500 to remove the debt
Rev. Dr. Muir, pastor of the E Street
Baptist Church. was a late conner at the
meeting. and talked briefly on the extended
work of the mission. and of its helpful in
fluence to the community.

innocent and which the accuser admitted
took place while Off duty.iIt happened
that the young man was member of the
Gay Street Baptist Church. The Rev.
w. s. o. Thomas, the pastor of the church
and also the president of the Baptist Min
lsters' Association, took up the cause Of
Wright and endeavored TO secure his re-

Failing in this he called upon P President
phillips of the Metropolitan Company
Here he was treated respectfully and told
that any one he should recommend would be

Washington & Georgetown, Mr.. Phillips
stated that he was not at liberty to employ
n man dismissed from another line, al
though innocent OF the charge but that if
DR.. Thomas had new man to suggest he
would be pleased TO put him to work.
AGREEMENT Is SHOWN
This confirms the belief which the men
entertain, that there is an agreement
among the several roads not to employ
any one who had been dismissed by one Of
the companies in the city.
The feeling is increased by the attitude
OF the roads towards organized labor.
Shortly after the Auacostia road employees

men say they We're Informed by Starter
Wilson that he had been told TO state that
if they wanted to keep their jobs they had
better not Join any such orga niZation.
This was coupled with the dismissal or
several men charged with stirring up the
others and urging them TO join a labor
union. The other day one of the Washing
ton aud Georgetown men who was just
going off duty was approached by an An
acostia striker ana asked to buy some
tickets for the strikers benefit lawn party.
The next day he was hauled up by Starter
Wilson aud closely questioned as TO his
whereaboutson the former evening and then
told to nave nothing to do with the strikers
If he w ould avoid trouble.
A movement is on foot in the city to
secure for the men atleast teuminutes time

it has been broached has promised TO lend
his aid and influence.

THE SEE YUP BOYCOTTERS
Chinese Minister Yang Yu's
Ten Days of Grace Expired
Yesterday.
Adopted and the Boycott De-
Clared Off.

The ten days. time which the Chinese
Minister at Washington gave the See Yups
to settle their difficulties with the Sam
Yups expired yesterday and there is every
indication that the proclamation of the
high official will have a salutary effect
upon the method OF the former clan.
The trouble arose from the arrest of
Mok Tai, See Yup man, for the murder
of Cheung Wal, member of the Sam
Yups. The Wal Leong, which is sort of
committee of safety in the Six Companies,
refused to take any measures to defend
the accused. The See Yups Immediately
began 8 boycott upon the merchants of the
Sam Yup, whom they considered as hav-
ing large political pull on the Val Leong.
The boycott soon came to be serious
matter in Chinatown. The customers oil
the Sam Yups were fined sum equal to
the value of their purchases and in ad-
dition despoiled of the article bought.
Consul-General LII notified Minister
Yang va at Washington and the See
Yups were given ten days to declare the
boycott off under severe penalties. The
decree caused CONSERVATION to the boy
cotters. Some of them pretended to treat
the threet with disdain, but frequent
meetings have been held to find means tc
souirm out of the difficulty without
obeying the Minister'S commands. The
guards were taken away from the Sam
Yup stores and only the most timorous

THE JOHN SWEET MEMORIAL.

they will both be compl eted IN bronze and
marble by the 1st of January next.
The SWEET tablet is to be placed in the
rooms of the Board of Education in the
new City Hall. A bronze scroll will bear
brief inscription stating that the work is
raised in honor of one of San Francisco
greatest educators by the school teachers
of the City. The design consists of mar
BILE plaque, three feet by four, ornamented
with devices in bronze. At present the
tablet is only modelled in clay but the por-
trait bust of John SWEET, which occupies
the center of the Device is an exc ellent
portrait, though it has been modelled from
memory.
When the monument is completed the
portrait medallion, which is two feet in
diameter, will be cast in bronze. Encir-
cling it will be large laurel wreath, and
below it the scroll which will state that
the school teachers sub scribed to raise the
memorial, Narrow decorative scrolls in
bronze will be placed to the right and left
of the laurel wreath.
In a month Douglas Tilden expects that
the modelling of the tablet will be entirely
completed and the casting and chIselIng
begun. California marble will be used for
the plaque and the bronzes will be cast in
this City.
The Robert Louis Stevenson memorial
fountain, which is to be placed IN the
Alta plaza, opposite the old City Hall, has
been slightly altered from the drawings
furnished by Bruce Porter and Willis
Polk. Instead of a snip in full sail,
fanked by couple of fish, being placed at
the top of thescolumn which overlooks the
fountain basin, Douglas Tilden has sur
mounted the column by female figure Cd
winged steed, and has put dolphins on
either side of the base of the column The
figure is supposed to represent Romance.
On the front of the column is portrait
bust of Stevenson, and the reverse side
bears medallion OF the ship, as we'll as
list of the authors works.
The drawback to the modified design is
that it will require more bronze casting,
and will therefore be more costly. Bruce
Porter stated yesterday that subscriptions
were coming in satisfactorily, though more
