The new building is also much larger
and more comfortable in its architectural
appointments than that on Powell street.
1t contains thirty-one living and sleeping
rooms, in addition TO spacious parlors,
dining and reading rooms. Several neces-
sary and somewhat elaborate improve
ments will be made on the main and din
lng-room floors which, when completed,
will transform the building into one OF the
finest evening clubs in the City.

to the trustees of the Fair estate" said
Secretary Hart last night, "was confirmed
by the court last Saturday, and all the
other details in connection with the lease
were concluded this afternoon.

arrangements will be undertaken with the
consent and approval OF the architect, Mr.
Schultz, and will in no way i'm pair the

doubtless result in an increased mem ber-
ship. As matter of fact, twenty appli-
cations have already been received, and
more are expected to follow. The present
mem bership of the Cosmos Club Is 123 in
the City alone, and this mum Der does
not include many armv ami navy mem

A. II. Gauss, young man % years OF
age, met with a painful accident yester-
day, and as it was he had fortunate es-
cape from more serious injuries.
He was standing on step-ladder clean
ing the window of a restaurant on Market
street, between Fifth and Sixth, when the
ladder slipped. He was precipitated
through the window, and his right hand
ana wrist were badly cut by the broken
glass piece of glass entered his wrist,
and was forced downward to the palm of
his hand, and DR.. Bunnell had to cut ii
out at the Receiving Hospital. There
were altogether six wounds on his hand
and wrist. and a ring that he wore on his
little finger was cut through.
Gauss is a young fellow of good educa-
ton. His family reside in Chicago, where
ne was employed in the Office OF the
Phoenix Insurance Company. He was in :
duced to come here a few months ago,
and being unable to procure a situation,
his funds became exhausted, and he was
glad to do odd jobs around the restaurant.
DIR. Bunnell telegraphed to Gauss
father in Chicago, informing him of the
accident, and suggesting that some funds
should be sent him.

At we'll attended meeting of the men,
bers of the Cosmos Club, BIT Powell street,
last night. it was almost unanimously de-

into by an authorized committee, under
which the club will shortly move into the
handsome building at 1884 Sutter street,
corner of Octavia. The building in ques-
ton is owned by the Fair estate, and as
recently as last June was occupied by the
Lake School.
This new departure on the part of the
Cosmos CLUB has been contemplated for
some time past, and is JUSTIFIED by various
good and sufficient reasons. In the first
place the location of the Sutter-street
building makes it eminently desirable for
4he purposes of quiet, refined club, such
an the Cosmos is admitted to be. Its
proximity TO the best residential portion
of the City will appeal to a wide circle OF
those socially disposed persons who are
prevented by family responsibilities from
coming downtown in the evening. The
convenient situation of the new building
will make it possible for the paterfamillas

To A'nertcan ShipOtUners Usfng the Port
of San Francisco.
Gentlemen: The present conditions
connected with the quarantine estab-
( Ishment at this port are we'll known to
you as unjust and Objectionable to all
sh1ps arriving from foreign ports. This
Cham Der of Commerce has for years con-
tended that the quarantine service
should be under Federal control at all
United States ports, and has been
pleased to observe the acceptance OF
this view in actual practice. Thus we
have now both Federal and a State
quarantine service at this port, only re-
Gently in contention with each other as
to their respective rights.
The controlling factor, however, is
that the Collector Of Customs will recog-
nize only the certificate of the United
States quarantine officer and ignores
that of the State. The former service is
rendered free of cost, while the latter Is
charged against the ships. The State
Government possesses no quarantine
facilities, while the United States has a
properly equipped station. The State
and an unnec essary tax on an interest
already unjustly burdened with taxa
tiOn. The delay, annoyance and at times
danger OF two stoppages at or near the
entrance of the port is also a serious and
proper cause of complaint on the part of
shipOwners. pilots and masters. An
effort wilI be made to have the State
quarantine law repealed at the present
session. OF the Legisla ture. In the un-
certainty of success in obtaining repeal
We respectfully suggest that parties in
interest apply prompt remedy by
joint refusal to pay the State quarantine
dues, at the same time an unnecessary
and unjust exactiOn on our maritime
commerce.
The board of trustees, in respectfully
\ suggesting to shipOwners and agents
resistance to this useless burden placed
upon our shipping, volunteers to join in
their defense whenever test may be
made, an d so far as within its means to
aid in the litigation which may pOssibI Iy
but not probably ensue. We are con-
fident that the remedy il in the hand !
of shipowners if they viii refuse pay
properly commence our efforts on behalf
of the shipping interests of San Fran
cisco by cOntesting this vexatious an d
unjust annoyance.
The Chamber of Commerce of San Fran
cisco,
BY order of the Board of Trustees,
HUGH CRAIG, President.
WILLIAM L. MERRY. Secretary and
Treasurer.
The State quarantine service must be
done away with as superhuous and ex-
pensive institution. Money must be
saved on the water front by'limiting the
payroll in charge of the Harbor Commits
sioners to 10 per cent of the revenues. A
ife-saving station must be establish ed
near dangerous Point Arena.
Such are the reforms that were advo-
