WI WITH THE CONVERTS.
The Minister Spends an Evening at thu
Chinese Mission.

The Minister Spends an Evening at the
Chinese Mission.
Wu Ting Fang, the new Chinese Min.
lister who is en- route to Washington, was
the guest of the Christian Chinese Mis-
sions last nigh. at reception given at
the Presbyterian Chinese Church on
Stockton street, near Clay.
Commodious as this house of worship is
it could not contain half of the people
who wanted to get in 10 see and hear the
most distinguished Embassador that
China has yet sent to America. The in
terror OF the church had been handsomely
decorated with flowers, lanterns and flags
in honor of the event. Naturally the great
bulk of the attendance was made up OF
Chinese, but there were enough Cauca-
slams there to show that it was not in
tended to be strictly race affair.
The reception consisted OF an address of
welcome by Rev. r. J. Masters vocal
solos and prayer. Mr.. WI was presented
during the evening with two elegantly
bound Bibles-one for himself and the
other for Mrs. Wa.
The Minister expressed great gratitude,
not only for the gifts but for the welco me
and attention accorded him. He said he
hoped that during his stay in America he
would succeed in further cemeting the
bond of friendship that exists between
China and America. Then, turning to the
Chinese IN the auoi-nce, he addressed
them in their native tongue. Ris advice
was that they be strictly law-abiding
while residing under the American flag,
for that was the only way in which the
respect of the people of this country could
be retained. He cautioned them particu-
larry against engaging in disgraceful fac
tiOnal feuds.

The Santa Clara Crop Not a
Failure as Has Been
Reported.
Considerable Damage Done by the
Frosts, but Not Enough to Dis.
courage the Growers.

There has been quite q scare on amo ong
the big fruitmen for some days past on
account OF the reported failure of the
Santa Clara apricot crop.
Reports are coming in now, however,
from the aft -cled district which indicate
that the havoc caused by the late frosts,
followed by the hot spell, will not reach
such proportions as was feared. L ap-
pears now that it was really only the early
varieties known as the Blenhcims and the
Royals that were seriously damaged and
will show short crops. The Moorpark
variety, however, which constitutes the
bulk OF the apricots grown in Santa Clara
County, practically escaped injury and
will yield quite heavily after all. On the
whoie the apricot crop of that county will
be an average one.
Santa Clara's almonds have been con-
sidera bly, damaged, but still not enough 10
call the crop a total failure.
Early reports were 20 the effect that the
apricots OF Fresno and Kings counties
were com pletely wiped out, but these also
prove to have been exaggerated. The
damage done that way was heavy, but not
such as to completely discourage the fruit
growers.
THE late news we have been receiving
from those counties affected by the frost is
indeed encouraging" said the manager of
the Porter Bros. Company yesterday. at
looked for a while as though there was
going to be a heavy shrinkage in the
apricot crop, but / am happy to say that
conditions have changed. We will have
just about a n average CROP"

THE POTRBRO is PLEASED,

Abolition of Rather Test and Other
improvements Hailed With JOY.
Ownors OF property in the Potrero and
on the Southern Heights are more than
pleased at the abolition of the Rather test
for macadamizing rock for the streets in
their section. This will give them a
chance to improve their streets without
being compelled TO haul rock from the
Twin Peaks
To the Real Estate and Development
Company and Potrero Land I'm provement
Company the abolition of the ordinance
means much. as these companies have in
the past and now have IN prospect the
opening of several streets through sec
tions which heretofore only existed on the
official map.
With the Rather test removed, the blue
rock that had been tabooed will now. be
used in macadamizing streets and side
walks, thereby giving an impetus 10
general line of Improvements in the en-
lire section.
By tomorrow night the grading of
Twenty-second street will be com pieted
to Pennsylvania avenue. This grading
covers distance of three blocks and has
necessitated fill of about 25, 600 cubic
yards of earth to bring it up to the official
grade and complete perfectly level road
from Kentucky street to Pennsylvania
avenue.
In addition to this cause OF Joy the resi-
dents are pleased with the promptness in
which the Spring Valley Water Company
has moved in placing reservoir on the
summit of the Southern Heights. A gang
of laborers has started already to clean
away the crown of the hill preparatory to
the company putting down its steel tank
out OF which An abundance of water will
be supplied.
The prospect of having the West Shore
Railroad running throug that tract of the
City. as outlined in yesterdays CALL,
added still more Joy TO their hearts,
as the proposed line will skirt off the
shore line close to Spreckels' sugar re-
fnery, thereby giving an opening to the
adjoining county. which, with the near
completion of Railroad avenue, from
Eighteenth avenue to the FIve-mile
House, will tend TO bring the once de-
spised and forlorn Potrero Mills into their
proper importance as comprising the
chief manufacturing section of the City.
