pleted the property-owners are anxious
that the remainder shall be finished with
out loss of time. The first step toward an
agitation for the completion of the boule-
ward was the presentation of petition to
the Council from the residents Of the i'm
mediate vicinity asking that the work be
completed under certain conditions. The
petition will be read at the meeting OF the
Council tomorrow night, but will probably
be referred to its proper committee and
another week will elapse before any
decision is reached.
The petition sets forth that the lines OF
the boulevard can be so fixed that probably
all of the property-owners will donate the
necessary land. 1t declares that the work
can be done under the general street law,
whereby the city and the property-owner
will jointly bear the expense.
Two sections are now completed and
each is about 1900 feet in length. The cost
of the completed portion has been about
$4,000, paid half by the city and half by the
property-owners. The boulevard has a
width of 200 feet and has been m acadam-
lied, severed, piped and sidewalked the
entire length. The second section reaches
clear around Newton Point, so that con-
siderably over half mile of driveway is
now completed. Newton Point, that over
hung the old narrow roadway, has been
cut away for the required distance and the
street made of uniform width. The grad
ing of the street at the point was done by
the unemployed in the winter of 1893.
One of the men most actively working
for the boulevard is William G. Henshaw,

Bene Yolent Protective Order Of Blka,


An unusual interest has of late been taken
in this City in the Benevolent Protective Order
of Elks. All the members are working harmo-
n1ously and earnestly to increase the member
ship, and they are doing well. At every meet
ing of Golden Gate Lodge No. 6 there are many
applications for membership and limitations. 1t

numerically, lodge In the United States.
Among the prominent and most active men,

September 5, 1865. He joined the order in
1892, has taken very active part in the local
lodge and was by unanimous vote this year
chosen exalted ruler. He devotes much time
to increasing the membership roll, is anxious
to have home for the order established here,
and wants it to have building for its exclu-
sive use. Being the son of pioneer, he is q
member of the Society of California Pioneers,
was the first president of Columbia Parlor No.

DR.. Mclean of the First Congregational
Church were robbed of some of their mys-

TELEGRAPH ExPERIENcEs.--In work on
the many phases of telegraph life a sad
scene is related. A New Orleans operator
was slowly dying of consumption at the
home of his boyhood, in Franklin, Tenn.
Summoning sufficient strength one day,
and against the wishes of his devoted wife,
he walked to the telegraph Office there and
requested Memphis to place him in con-
nection with New Orleans. Calling Taylor
Adams, an old chum in the Office, to the
key, the operator requested him to gather
around him all his old fellow-laborers.
Adams complied, and Taylor Brown, the
operator, opened his key and sent the fol-
lowing message: II am dying by inches,
and my WORKOUT body will soon be
returned to clay. have come from my
sick-bed to say good-by.p There was a
pause of three minutes, and the key was
again used. The sounder here licked:
Taylor Brown has died in the chair.
The hand that flashed this, however, was
not Browns, but that of the regular oper-
tor. A prominent telegraph operator, of
many years experience, was asked what
message of the many thousands that had
passed through his hands, had made the
most lasting impression on MIN. He re-
piled that he should never forget message
that was mailed some eighteen years ago
at jackson, MISS. The message was put IN
at IL 80 A. M, with the instructions: "This
message must be delivered in the hands of
the Sheriff of Wilkinson County, Wood
vile, Miss, before noon.p The message
was respite from the Governor on behalf
of poor wretch then standing on the
gallows awaiting the blow of the axe that
would cut the rope. The receiving
operator who tells the story was in an
agony of nervousness, especially as he
knew the jail was nearly mile from the
office. The manager of the Office, how
ever, was equal to the emergency. Mount
ing horse standing in front OF the Office
he arrived at the Jail just as the last sig
nal was about to be given and delivered
the message in time to stay the proceed
ings. The unfortunate whose life was thus
shared was sent to the penitentiary at
Jackson, Miss, and after serving nine
months secured his liberty on it being
proved that he had been uniustly impris-
oned.

Fourth Annual Gathering of

EndeaVorerS.
An Organization That Looks After

Is at Oakland.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
3OS Broadway Sent %

sos Broadway, Sept %.
The committees of the floating socie-
ties of Christian Endeavor of California
held grand reunion last evening at the
Seamen's Reading-rooms, West Oakland.
A social followed a short service, and the
music and Rotations were contributed by
the Misses Lamont, Mrs. Haden, Miss
MacMurtry, Mr.. Fish and Messrs. Palmer
and Abbott of the Stanmore. The hall
was deliberately decorated with flags of a II
nations, and presented handsome effect.
The attendance was large, including a
number of seamen from various merchant
ships now in port.
The occasion was one of great gratifca-
ton to the officers and members of the So
ciety, as the work of nearly four years was
revived, the results showing the Floating
Society to be one of the most successful
branches of Christian work. The first work
done for the seamen who come to Oakland
was in 1892, by Carl n. 6. Hagar, who
worked independently in conducting SER
vices on the steamships lying off Long
wharf, for period of six months. 1t was
his custom to accompany the sailors to
services when they came ashore to the
Second Congregational Church on Chase
street, and it was no unusual thing for
himself and Mrs. Hagar to entertain
eighteen officers and sailors at Sunday
dinner.
The members increased until Mr. Hagar
turned the new line of work over to the
Second Congregational Church, and he
was appointed its superintendent. 1t con-
tinued to prosper until 1898, when repre-
sentatives joined from all the churches,
and its name was changed from the Sea-
mans Mission to the Floating Society of
Christian Endeavor, which now visits all
vessels in port.
The captains and officers of the ships
where the society is represented are en-
thusiastic over the work, saying they
noticed great change among the seamen,
who instead of cursing are singing hymns.
Services were held to-day on board the

Yang Yu, in this document, which is
advisory in its tone, points to the alarming
spread of the feud from this coast even to
the Atlantic. He has not only received
communications from the consular au-
thorities OF San Francisco, he writes, but
also from those in New York.
To make matters plain it might be
stated that the word tYup" means clan,
and each clan may have members in vari-
Gus parts of this country, SO that any con-
troversy naturally becomes far reaching.
The Sam Yups are mostly merchants
and statesmen and hail from the Nam Hoy,
Pun Yui and Shun Tux districts, which
accounts for their speaking the metropoli-
tan dialect of Canton city. The See Yups,
the rural parts of the province OF Canton,
the four companies comprising this clan
hailing as follows: The Ming Yungs from
the Sun Ming district, the Kong Chpus
from Sun Wui, the Shue Kings from How
Ping, and the Hop Wahs from Yum Ping.
These four See Yup companies some weeks
ago entered into an ironclad boycott agree
ment which was very explicit. They also
forced into their compact the Yueng Wos,
who are Hang Shon men, but subsequently
the Yueng Wos concluded to remain neu-
trail.
The companies all constitute what is
known as the SixDor Consolidated Com
panies. The Yam Wos-the barbers-are
not counted, because they are "Hak Kah"
men, which means aborigines.
AS is well known the split in the Six
Companies was caused by the arrest of
Mok Tai for the murder of Chong Wal, but
the Chinese Minister in his circular as
much as says that the incidental cause of
the difficulty is not the thing to be primar-
lily considered, as the courts may be relied
upon to determine Mok Tai's guilt or in
nocence. He argues, therefore, that the
controversy be settled speedily, within the
next ten days if possible, and there is q
strong insinuation in the language of the
document that vigorous measures may be
used to force settlement.
The measures limited at are the arrest
and sending back to China of See Yup of
tenders ii caught interfering with Sam
Yup patrons and convicted. He also re-
minds his countrymen of the ability of the
American people to enact laws much more
unfavorabIe to the Chinese than the Geary
and McCreary acts.

There is feeling prevailing that the older men,
bers who have labored for years to build up the
order should be protected at the lowest cost but it
should be remembered that if the plan is success
full it would result in the admission of large num-
bers of young men, and the increased membership
would naturally reduce the number Of assessments,
