INCREASE OF IMPORTS.
Business at the Custom-House
Has Been Steadily
Improving.
Greater Trade in Canned Goods In
dicated by Large Increase
in Drawbacks.

A comparison of the business done by
the local Custom-house for the three
months ending June 80, 1897, with that
done during the corresponding months of
1896, shows a large balance in favor of the
present year. This is true both of taxable
modities and goods unaffected by the
tariff. While the fact OF new tariff hav-
ing recently gone into effect would nat
urally account for an increase in the I'M
portation of certain classes of goods, a
large increase is shown in articles with
which the new tariff has no concern.
This class of goods is very large, and the
great amount coming in during the past
three IN onths would seem to indicate that
business throughout the country Is in
more prosperous condition than il was a
year ago. This is also shown in the item
of draw backs.
For the purpose of encouraging exports,
the Government allows q drawback or
rebate on certain exported articles which
have been once imported, or In the manu-
facture of which certain imported material
has been used. For instance, an exporter
of canned goods is allowed a drawback on
the tin (if imported) of hiCh the cans are
made. and it Is to this class OF goods, more
than any other, that this rebate applies.
Thus the increased drawback for April,
Nav and June. 1897, over that OF the same
months in 1896, would show that the
amount OF canned goods leaving this port
had increased. AS California fruit forms
a large part of this class OF goods, the con-
cluslon would be that the expectation OF
canned fruit has materially increased, and
this is undoubtedly true.
The drawbacks for the three months
mentioned in 1897 were $50, 1853 Sd: for the
same period in 1896. $50. 223 74-showing
an increase of $50, ,544 so. or nearly 10 per
cent.
The total customs duties paid during
the same period of time were: 1897. ST.
422, 152 98; 1896, 81, 149, All 0S-showing an
increase Ior the months OF 1897 OF $272-
681 co.
The total value Of imports for the same
period, including both free ana dutiable
goods, was: 1897, $11, l60, 1884; 1896, $1Q,-
6S3, ,162-increase, SAT-, 222.
The value OF undutiable importatiohs
for the three months was: 1897, $8, $685.
327; 1896, SIS, ,214, ,770-an increase OF $500. .557
OF over $Il, 100000 worth of goods which
came into this port. during April, May
and June of the present year $6 500, 600
worth was carried Dy American ships.
Our imports we're greatest from the Ha-
waiian Islands, and then follow Japan and
China in the order named From these
three countries comes the bulk of the busi-
ness with which the Custom bouse has to
do Guatemaa, England and British CO.
IuIn bia each sends us considerable, but the
amount of goods passing through this port
from other foreign countries is rather
small. For the present month full state
ment is of course Impossible, but the per-
csntaee of increase of imported free as well
as :dutiable goods seems fully equal to, ii
not greater, than for the preceding three
months.

TAYLOR SLOUGH DAM.
An Obstruction to Navigation in Contra
Costa to Be Removed.

An Obstruction to Navigation in Contra
Costa to Be Removed.
Complaint has been made to United
States Attorney Foote to the effect that
the Taylor Slough dam in Contra Costa
County is an obstruction to the naviga-
ton of the slough. The dam is about
four and half miles from Jersey Land
ing, and was built in 1872 for the purpose
of retaining the swamp land OF the dis
trict. Afterward the district was divided,
one part being known as "Reclamatio
District No. Il and the other as "The Jer-
sey Tract"
1t is alleged on the part of the complain
ants that the dam has failed to reclaim
the lands in the district; that it is useless
for any purpose, and that it is an unwar-
rantable obstruction to navigation.
A. e. Davis. wealthy man, known to his
intimate friends as Hog Davis, because of
certain lucky speculations in pork, is
largely interested in the JERSEY Tract, and
he and Trustees John R.. Spring, F. c..
Bethel and others were notified to remove
the dam.
The matter was left in the hands OF the
United States Engineer Corps and they
reported that the trustees had taken no
steps to remove the dam.
Assistant United States Attorney Knight
forwarded papers yesterday notifying Da-
Wis and the trustees that unless the dam
shall have been removed within sixty
days he will take legal proceedings to de-
stroy it, A continuance of the obstable
renders the trustees liable to punishment
for misdemeanor.

Affairs of the Eureka Society in
a Most Lamentable Con-
dition.
Telephone Connection Withdrawn by
the COmpany-Role Played by
Mrs. Gurnett.

The Eureka Society for the Protection
of Children is tottering on its feet, finan-
cialIy and otherwise, and it is prophesied
even by its own mem bers that it is only a
question of a short time until the collapse
comes. Without its late president, Mrs
John Pettee, a woman admitted by her
enemies 10 have had its perpetuation in
deeds of mercy close at heart; without the
use of a telephone, with members refusin g
to bring in new ones until they have had
an opportunity to ascertain definitely who
is to blame for the late disturbances, and
with persons of both sexes waiting hours
with tales of woe to pour into the ears of
secretary who appears not so often as
formerly, the prophecy certainly appears
likely to be fulfilled.
People were continually asking the tee-
phone operators to give them the offices
of the society yesterday, only to be told
that the line had been disconnected
When the Eureka Society was founded,
ch iefy through the efforts of Mrs. Pettee,
she procuring the donation ofthe very fur.
niture with which the rooms are equipped.
The telephone was placed in after she
stated she would be personally responsible
for the payment of the bills. After her
removal she went to the office of the tele-
phone company and refused longer TO be
responsible for further payments. Then
the instrument was taken out.
Mrs. ]. w. Reay and Mrs. L. A. Roberts,
both trustees of the society, went up int
the rooms yesterday to see Secretary Hol-
brook. A lady waiting there said she mad
been waiting since noon. Although all
waited until 6 P. n. the official did not
make his appearance. In the meantime
the ladies bemoaned the Iamentable con-
dition in which the organization finds
iJ,elf. They stated that many bills are
now unpaid and there is but little money
to meet others that will soon fall due.
They blamed the ex- president largely for
the condition of affairs, but refused TO per-
nit anything they said to be quoted. In
their opinion the trouble all arose in
personal quarrel between Mrs. Pettee and
Mrs. ". G. Gurnett young widow who
has lately been acting as solicitor of sub
scriptiors for the organization.
One gentleman who was waiting for
Holbrook stated that he was a mem ber
of the society and had ten new names to
add, and did not intend to hand them in
until be had investigated the condition of
affairs now prevailing.
Mrs. Pettee says she intends to keep on
in her work in behalf of unfortunate and
abused children, but will take care to do
so hereafter in more congenial company.
She is inclined TO believe that Holbrooks $
mind was poisoned against her by others
as an excuse for his taking sides with the
other faction.
AS regards many OF the rumors circu-
lated about her sayings and doings, all of
which she alleges are false, she threatens
10 bring suit for damages if they can be
traced 10 their original sources. Many of
her friends will doubtless leave the society
with her.

MISS KLUMPKE'S WORKS
Collection Of Fine Paintings on
Exhibition at Hopkins

A San Francisco Girl Who Has Beer
Successful in Art, Her Chosen
Vocation.

The pictures of Anna e. Klumpke,
which. are on exhibition in the main
room OF Hopkins Institute, have attracted
considerable attention and brought forth
much favorable comment from those in
terested in art.
The collection includes over forty pieces
in oil ana pastel, and among these are a
numb Der OF Paris Salon portraits. That of
Mrs. Bovlston Bealis perhaps the gem of
the oil paintings and is as good as any
thing ever seen on the coast. "Scheherez-
ade" shows the dIeamy-eyed Arabian
Princess who relates the stories in the
Thousand and One Nights in the
ARABIAN Nights" The faces in all the
portraits are particularly fine, the flesh
tints clear and mellow and the features
expressive.
OF the pastels the portrait OF my
Mother" is the best and is perhaps the
most commendable of all Miss KIumpke's s
work. 1t may be cassed as the picture Of
her life. The pastels are as strong and
round out as we'll as the work in oils. All
the pictures are remarkably clever and
deserve the admiration they are receiving
The selection of pictures exhibited here
is very small portion. of the artists
work. She has disposed of large mum Der
OF her paintings both IN this and foreign
countries. -:
Miss Klumpke was educated in her: art
at Julian Academy, Paris. From 1880 to
1890 she studied under such masters
as Tony, Robert Fleury; William Bou-
guereau, F. de Vulllefroy and jules LIE.
febYre. Her specialties are portrait, and
figure painting.
Or honors in the world of painting she
has had quite mum ber. In 1885 her work
received honorable mention at the Paris
Salon. at Versailles in 1856 she. received
a silver medal; in 1889 from. Julian Acad-
envy a grand silver medal, and a. gold
medal al the Universal Exposition, Paris.
Although a native born San Francisco
girl, this is Miss Klumpke's first visit to
her home for twenty years. She said she
came back to show her old friends what
she had. done, and she expresses much
pleasure at the treatment she received. =
