troops The members are Reichart, Toy
and Tichnor.
The action taken by the Typographical
Union in refusing to turn out and impos-
ing $25 fine on any of its members who
belonging to some other organization
should turn out with such organization
was discussed at length. The action wa:
taken: nominally because the printing had
been done for the committee by non-unior
firms.
In the discussion the fact was learned
that all printing which had been done fol
thescommittee. had been distributed among
union firms as follows: Hicks-Judd Com
pany, Joseph Winterburn Company, Muir
dock & Co., Patrick e. Co., The Creightons,
H. S. Croker & Co., E. c. Hughes and
Eastman 81 kimball.
Outside of the foregoing so so contract
for posters had been let to Cosper & Co.,
who are contractors and not printers. \ o
stimulation was made that the work should
be done by union men, but this was merely
an oversight, which would not have &C
Cured had the union assisted the COM
mittee with q suggestion instead of waiting
till the action had been taken and then
condemning it. The programme privilege
was sold to Cosper & Co. for $50, and with
the printing of that the committee has
nothing TO do. The amount paid for
printing to firms other than those known
to the union firms was only per cent of
the entire amount paid for printing, and
Cosper & Co. not being printers, but only
contractors, could not be members OF the
union in any case.
A second reason alleged for the action of
the Typographical Union was that non
dnion bands were being employed. In
answer to that it was stated that the bands
employed belong to union affiliated with
the Federated Trades. Because that union
is not recognized by the Musicians Mutual
Protective Union did not make it non
union. The matter simply degenerated,
It was said, into fight between two
unions. with which the Fourth OF July
committee had absolutely nothing to do.
The programme for the literary exer-
cises was finally approved. The final re
hearsal of the chorus of 300 voices, which

How the Russians Make Tea.

In Russia we see no open fireplaces and
no singing kettles. Their system of heat
ing the house in winter is much different
and much superior to ours, so the Russians
use a tea urn with an internal fiue. In
this hue they put charcoal. and, when
lighted, the urn is placed outside the door
1.-THE fumes are dangerously, and a stove
pipe is placed on the top of the tiue to in
duce draught; and soon the water bolls.
The urn is then placed on the table, and
the good lady puts into the teapot so much
tea as she thinks sufficient, fills the teapot
with boiling water, and then places the
teapot on the top of the internal fiue, and
her mind is at rest.
If friend pops in. either now or in one
hours time, the hostess will at once pour
an inch of this rank poisonous liquid into
q glass and fill up the glass with water
from the urn, and smile. The friend then
helps herself to slice of lemon and Jour,
five or six pieces of sugar.
I. as a boy, learned that Russia got the
hest tea and made the best tea. After
had been in various parts of Russia q few
times I began to think my schoolbooks
dealt IN fables. With the exception OF
seven weeks last autumn | have been in
Russia this last twelve months, and my
experience extends from st. Petersburg to
Asfrachan, and from Batoum to this des-
ert and say that Russia does not buy the
best tea.-Tit-Bits.

THE JAPANESE QUESTION.
Senator George G. Perkins Has
No Hope of Protective
Legislation.
THE PRESIDENT Is BLAMED.
Eastern Legislators Consider Cppo-
sition to MongolIans as Mere
Prejudice.

"There will be no National legislation to
protect the laborers of California against
the Japanese" said United States Senator
George G. Perkins yesterday. 1.-The people
of the East seem unable to conceive of the
situation of the labor market in this State.
When we tell them that the increase of the
number Of Chinese and Japanese laborers
threatens the prosperity of the entire Pa
cific Coast they laugh at US, tell us that
we are wild and that what we need is
contract labor.
"When the treaty recently made with
Japan was under consideration both Sem
ator White ard myself went before the
committee while it was in executive ses
sion. We protested against the measures of
the treaty. We told of the thousands of
unemployed whites and urged that the
Japanese were especially industrious, since
they were aggressive, intelligent and pro-
gressive and willing to work more cheaply
than any white could and live.
sour arguments were unheeded. l was
told that the present alien contract law
now in force afforded all the protection
necessary. Instead of trying to keep them
out the Japanese were actually invited by
Secretary Gresham and President Cieve-
land. They seem to think it of no conse-
quence that every Japanese put to work
displaced white man land this; too, at a
| time when thousands are begging because
| they can get no employment"
| e To change the laws regarding the immi-
grafton from Japan would necessitate a
| change of the recently adopted treaty.
This, Senator Perkins was satisfied, would
not be made.
| 1--WE held the treaty with China back for
four months" he said, shut they passed it
| in spite of us. In this treaty President
| Cleveland let down the bars for as many
| Chinese to enter as possible. Yet we need
all the arguments possible to stay such
! action.
| o "If we failed in the case of the Chinese,
| it would be hopeless to attempt anything
| in the case of the Japanese. The latter are
| not personally so repulsive as the Chinese.
Besides, they initiate our ways and cloth
| ing, are studious, and really attempt to
become part of the country. You can
understand the difficulty of making peo-
pie think the presence of the Japanese to
| be harmful, when they are willing to ac-
| cept the Chinese who makes absolutely NO
attempt to assi1nilate with the people
around him.
at will be long time before the people
| of the East will believe the aversion of
Westerners to Chinese is any more than a
bit of unreasoning prejudice. They have
no idea of the condition of affairs here.
| They will learn it some time and then
| there may be some hope for relief"

become more aggressive and queer tales of
his making sallies from the place were cur
rent yesterday. In these sallies he is re-
ported to have given chase to belated Pc
destrians who played the role of Tam
O'Shanter with charming realistic effects.
One of these sorties was made last Sun
day night and the victim was John Rim
gen, who lives on Bay street, near Taylor.
He was returning home, according to his
own account, rather late in the evening
with string of fish which he had caught
early in the day. When opposite the
haunted house, he declares, white form
sprang out from the fence in front of
the premises, and just as his hair was be-
ginning to rise. he received thump on the
back, and the string of fish was snatched
from his hand. In the morning when this
story became known some of the neighbors
asserted that they had detected strong
smell of fried fish in the atmosphere earlier
in the morning.
John Sohl, who resides at the corner of
Bay and Taylor streets, was also reported
as having been chased short distance by
the spiritual one, and that the latter had
tripped and fallen over the unnailed side
walk which Mr.. Paladini has laid down in
front of his premises. Mr.. Sohl, when
seen yesterday, however, said he was not

The Arrangements for the Big
Demonstration Nearly
Completed.
PERFECTING MINOR DETAILS.
There Is a Deficit of 5000 Which
Must Be Met or Some Fea-
lures Omitted.

The preparations for the grand celebra-
ton OF the Fourth are nearly completed
and the executive committee is in daily
session perfecting the minor details.
At yesterdays session 1t was found that
in the funds available there is deficit OF
5000, and that in that is not included any
provision for the payment of the militia
bands or for horses for the artillery or
cavalry. A long discussion on ways of re-
trenchment followed the announcement,
the result of which was the appointment
OF a committee on retrenehment, to whom
the disagreeable duty Of pairing down the
expenses was entrusted. The five ap.
pointed for that purpose are Messrs.
ReiohaTtr Toy, Tichner, Marshall and
.Doan.
A committee of three was appointed to
confer with General Warfield concerning

THE POLICE PROMOTIONS,
Four Sergeants VIII Now Draw
the Increased Pay for
Lieutenants.
Nothing Definite Will Be Known as
to Permanent Appointments
for Some Time.

From and after yesterday Sergeant Witt.
| man at the Central police station, Ser
geant Hanna at the Southern station,
Sergeant Helms at the Harbor and Ser.
geant Esola at the old City Hall station
will draw the pay of lieutenant, which is
an increase from SIPS to $14O per month.
These four have been performing the
duties of lieutenant for some time, and
as the new order creating that office came
into effect yesterday they will reap the adj
vantage of the increased pay.
That does not imply that they are per-
manently appointed lieutenants, but
simply that they will hold them until
other arrangements are made. The order
allows the appointment of five lieutenants,
but the fifth will not be required until the
formation of the new district.
The new order also allows for an increase
of three on the detective force, and Chief
Crowley announced yesterday that Cor
poral Handley and Officers Anthony and
Gibson, who have been doing detective
duty for years, will now draw the pay of a
detective, $125 per month. Their promo
ton is richly deserved. as each in his
special line has done splendid service to
the department..
The Chief said yesterday that it will

tricts with the object of forming the new
district for the additional captain and lieu
| tenant.
SIN regard to promotions" said the
Chief, 81 cannot do anything definite till
| know who the captains are to be- As
soon as that is known I will be in posi-
ton to name the lieutenants and the new
sergeants. Take the case of John Moffitt
| in charge of the front office. He is per-
| forming the duties OF a sergeant, but he
only holds the rank of corporal. Now he
will rank as a sergeant and draw the in
creased pay from to-day. Drill Instructor
Marshall is another instance. He is only
corporal now, but he should hold the
rank of sergeant, and after the reorganiZa-
ton he will, in all probability be promoted.
But as / said before nothing definite can
be done till / am in position to see how
many more patrol sergeants are needed
owing to the increase of seventy-fiye men.
That will not be known till the districts
are recognized.
"There will be eight mounted men and
it will require considerable study to locate
the districts for them to patrol. All these
things require time and thought"
The Chief declined to discuss the ques-
ton of who will be the new captains. Ger
tain names had been mentioned, but be
knew nothing about it. That was a matter
entirely in the hands OF the Commits
sioners.
What progress has been made by Cap
tains Douglass and Stone in their fight to

Stone denies that he is making any fight.

RECEIVING HOSPITAL.
Increased Number of Cases During the
Last Fiscal Year

Increased Number of Cases During the
Last Fiscal Year.
The returns of the Receiving Hospital,
as prepared by Steward Trewin for the
fiscal year ending June 80, show that 6704
cases were treated during the year, being
an increase of 96S over the previous wear.
The largest number in one month was 600,
IN June, which is the largest in any month
for the past four years. There were 81
deaths, precisely the same number as the
previous year, and 81 persons were brought
in dead.
Of the total number of cases SCI were in
sane, and 295 OF these were sent to asylums.
The additional cost entailed by insane
patients being received at the hospital is
$50 per month, of which $50 is for an addi-
tional steward.
There were two births during the year,
the smallest number on record.

SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY ROAD
Bids for gTrack-Laying in Stockton
Called For-Ties and
Rails.

Chief Engineer Storey of the San Fran
cisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad
returned from Stockton yesterday. While
in that city he interviewed the Board of
Supervisors with view of obtaining per-
mission to place the company's track
above grade, so that it should be out of
danger from any possible overflow. A
result of these interviews was the granting
of the permission asked for.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Storey wrote
letters to Stockton con TRACTORS asking for
bids for laying three miles OF track through
the city of Stockton, and as soon rs the
bids are opened, on the 9Th inst, and the
contract awarded the work of track-laying
for the new road will commence.
Mr.. Storey was in communication with
those who, in the interest of the road, are
looking after rights of way, and from the
reports made by them it appears that there
will not be anything in the way of obtain
ing the concessions asked for.
The first bargeload of ties for the new
road LETT yesterday afternoon for Stockton,
and the first cargo of rails will arrive here
this week The ship on which they are
loaded is looked for by Friday.

So the matter stands at the beach, Mr..
Paladini was also seen yesterday. He did
not believe the ghost stories, but said that
there had been so many complaints about

that it would be torn down within week.
In its place, Mr.. Paladini said, he would

The New York Tribune of March "a con-
tains the following, which is OF especial
interest just now: " 1t was announced yes
terday that Thomas W. Wood, the presi-
dent of the National Academy of Design, is
about to found an art gallery in Montpelier,
Vt. The project has been under way some
time, but it had not reached a stage suffi-
GENTLY definite to warrant a public an
nouncement until yesterday. Tue art gal.
lery will be started in a small way, with
some twenty-five oil and ater-color paint
ings, and about twenty-five etchings, all
works of Mr.. Wood. One of the more promi-
nent pictures of this collection is copy Of
Rembrandt's painting of himself and his
wife, made by Mr.. Wood, in the Dres-
den gallery. The painting is 5Ox65 inches.

ing, which is now in the Turner gallery.
"A Drunkard's Wife, 32x46, by Mr.. Wood,
will be included in the collection. This by
many is regarded as one OF Mr.. Woods best
works, the representation of the gaslight in
the liquor-store as contrasted with the cleo
trio light in the street being regarded as I'M
usually good. Mr.. Woods "A Faithful
Nurse 20x30, and "A Portrait, 25x30,
which was exhibited at the National Acad
envy Of Design recently, also are included in
this collection. One of the most valuable
pictures in the group is copy of painting
by Sir Joshua Reynolds, now in the Ma
tional Gallery in London. 1t is 30x25 inches.
Mr.. Wood was seen at his studio, No. 81

reporter, and said My object in giving this
collection of pictures to Montpelier is that
may do something for the home of my boy
