Getting More Money,

The followers of Mr.. Bryan last fall
made their rallying cry More money"
They did not get Mr.. Bryan into the
presidency, but they and all the rest Of
the people 'are getting more money"
and that speedily. The only way to get
money is by work. BY the passage OF
the Dingley bill the home market has
been restored to American manufacture
ers. The wheels Of industry are already
beginning to turn, and a wider oppor-
tunity Of labor is being offered to the
American people. There will be plenty
of work in the near future, and plenty
of work means plenty OF money.

Title to Be Examined and Prop

WAITING FOR OFFICIAL ACTION.
Original Request of Four Hundred
Thousand Dollars Largely In :
creased by Interest Thereon.

The committee appointed to raise
money in San Francisco to purchase a
block of land on the Potrero for the site of
the Wilmerding School has succeeded in
securing the amount required to buy the
land. The next step preliminary TO the
transfer of the site to the Regents of the
University will be the examination of the
title. Everything will be ready for tender
ing the site to the Regents by the time
the board meets, on the second Tuesday
OF this month.
The late J. G. Wilmerding, in his last
will and testament, gave to the Regents of
the State University the sum of $500, 600 TO
be expended in the establishment AMI
maintenance of a trades school for boys.
He had intended to leave this sum to the
Art Association of San Francisco to main
tain a school of drawing, painting and
sculpture, but learning that Mr. Searles
had endowed the Art Association with a
gift of the magnificent Mark Hopkins
residence he changed his will, and pro-
vIded for the institution to teach trades.
The original sum beoueathed by Mr..
Wilmerding has been largely increas ed
by interest thereon until the amount must
approximate $3.50, 900. Some of the re.
gents seem to regard it as noble stroke
of policy to hold large sums of money in
trust and have the same draw int rest
and increase, hence extra measures of
agitation had to be employed to induce
the board to take steps toward fixing a
location for the WiImerding school.
Much time was taken in the discussion Of
| the merits of the various locations.
Available sites near the university were
rendered and Oakland promised to buy all
the land needed. Stockton put in strong
claim for the school and the cause of San
Joaquin County was ably sustained In the
board by Governor Budd.
For time it seemed dou btfui whether
San Francisco would secure the SCI DOL
which one of her leading merchants had
given so much money to create and main
tain. William Alvord the Mayor and
other citizens argued the case SO in telli-
gently before the board that the decision
on the question of location was cast in
favor OF this city.
Further time was consumed in discuss
ing the various sites within the limits of
this city, but finally it was determined to
place the institution in the Potrero. Now
the land has been obtained, and the re.
gents can go about the ork of putting up
buildings and providing the necessary
machinery.
A vast deal of work remains to be done.

not changed the boys Mr.. Wilmerding

APPRECIATION EVENLY DIVIDED.
Magnificent Collection of the Best
and --latest Work of Local
Artists.

Art and fashion met on neutral ground
at the Bohemian Club exhibition of paint
Jugs yesterday.
Art extended a kindly hand to fashion,
and fashion, forgetting for once to shipper
and be frivolous, in deepest gratitude re-
turned the pressure.
Everybody who has any claim to being
some body helped to throng the rooms of
the hospitable Bohemian Club yesterday
afternoon. 1t was like crush at fash.
ionable tea, only the thoughtless, sense
less chatter was missing. Gossip was for
gotten and the pictures were very much
remem bered.
Admirable tact and taste were shown in
the hanging of the pictures, and. strange
to record, all exhibitors are pleased and
satisfied.
The vast multitude of fashionables in
vaded all the rooms held sacred to b.
hernia. 1t appeared to be a ubiquitous
crowd. II one turned into the library the
crowd was there admirIng the pictures
and inspecting the valuable collection of
books.
In the red room there it stood watching
the construction of the table for Mr..
Greenway's dinner party. In the card
room, in the rece ption-room, in the grill
room, whe re dainty collation. was served,
everywhere was that fashionable throng,
curiously inspecting and respectfully ad-
miring.
There were apparently no favorites.
Each and every artist received his share
of praise. Of course there were prefer
ences, but they were more based on per-
sonal tastes than artistic reasons.
One OF the chief charms of the exhibit
is that none of the painlin on exhibit
ton has been shown before. Admirers
OF the Bohemian artists have thus been
afforded the rare treat of seeing the latest
and by some considered quite the best of
their efforts.

A Move to Have the Two Durrant APP
peaIs Dismissed.
The legal representatives of the people
are not losing any time IN handling the
matter of Theodore Durrant, the con-
victed murderer of Blanche Lamont. Yes
terday afternoon acting ATTORNEY. General
Carter filed in the State Supreme Court a
notice of a motion that he will make to
dismiss the appeals of Durrant from the
respective orders of the Superior Court,
directing his execution on April 10, and
again on Novembe TO- His purpose in
this is 10 clear legally the ground so that
Durrant can be again brought from San
Quen tin and be sentenced without further
delay. In such cases it is customary to
give ten days notice, but in this instance
Chief Justice Beatty made the following
order:
Good cause appearing, therefore, It is hereby
and file this notice OF motion besshortened four
days.
The motion will be N ade on the grounds
that Durrant was not and has not been
executed and the judgment and order of
the Superior Court of this county, from
which appeal was taken, was not executed
on june IL, 1897, and that he is now alive,
and the judgment and order appealed
from has not been executed and is no
longer in force or effect, and that there
now remains no involved question which
may be litgated.
The motion will be based upon the
records and papers in said cause and upon
the certificate of w. e. Hale, warden at
San Quentin State prison, and further
upon a certified copy of the mandate of
the Supreme Court of the United States

bali and whisky Is not verified. The goods
consisted of general provisions.
Mr.. Hansen, in his letter to the COM
pany, estimates that the supplies at Daw-
son are sufficient to sustain $500 persons
until the opening of the season next year
DE bases his estimates on the quantity of
provisions brought up the river by the
first boat OF the present season and the
quantity brought in over the passes.
Owing to the scarcity OF provisions he ad-
vised as many men to leave as could get
away from Dawson, and following his adj
vice about 500 departed, some going down
the river 20 Fort Yukon and others going
out by the way of the passes to Dyea.
According 10 the figures given to the
company by Mr.. Hansen there will still
remain in Dawson $500 persons, while the
supplies are only sufficient to su bsist $500.
The inference is conveyed that the 1000
persons who are likely to have q desperate
time to escape actual starvation are not
miners or producers, but are idIers and
dissolute people who have no business in
the country.
Mr.. Hansen thinks it is possible that he
has underestimated the quantity of pro-
visions in the district, fancying that some
of the parties may have more supplies
cached than they are willing to admit. 1t
is n oted that his estimate of the mum Der
of people in the district is below the mum.
Der reported by the press correspondents.
There is posi- bility that the season
may permit the Weare to return from
Fort Yukon with another cargo of pro-
visions, but the chances are ten to one
against such trip being made so late in
the season.
The fact that Mr.. Hansen counseled
every body that could get away to leave
Dawson City as speedily as possible Is
proof that he regards the situation as ex-
tremely critical. No doubt he gives the
company which he serves the most reliable
intelligence available, but the best face he
can put on the situation is that $500 sanity
miners and producers may get through
without suffering for the want of food, but
that the sinners and ungodly of all grades,
numbering some 1000, are wholly unpro-
vided for.
Hansen confirms the story that -four is
selling at from 81 to So per pound. The SELL
ing Is confined TO Individual swappings.
The company is not charging that price
for -four. The fact is that the company
has no provisions to sell When Hansen
wrote everything had been sold The other
company was in the same FIX, having moth.
