 In rendering his report David starr Jordan, the retiring president oeIlV- cred a lengthy account of the ooings of the society for the past year. lie said in part:
 The chief functions of a society of this kind may be briefly stated as follows: The standardization of science by means of public meetings and lectures at Wnlcn scientific questions shall be discussed In an intelligible way by men recognized as aii+horities on the subject under consid-
 Another way in which science can be popularized is by means of exhibition of collections which shall show for them selves the facts of biology and ethnol- | ogy. By the maintenance of such lib- rary in the center of the city the acad- | emy has served a valuable purpose to the l scholars of San Francisco and the towns | lying about the bay.
 The lack of funds with which to carry on the academy was commented on, as also that of its taxation, as fol- lows:
 The gross income for the past year was S27 SS5 Il. Its taxes were $6751 39. This mean way of treating gifts is not due tC any lack of appreciation or of hospitality on the part of the people of California It Is due merely to the fact that we live under a constitution which James Bryc, declares to be the worst under which any civilized State has ever transacted its af fairs.
 The deaths Of H. N. Bolander Charles F. Crocker. Thomas P. Mad den, Luke Robinson, L. F. Reichline and Francis x. Simon were men toned, as was also the honorary mem bership of E. D. Cope and George H Horn.

THE FIRST OF THE RUSH.
Mipers From Eureka Outfittipg for
 Alaska in Hurry.


 When the Alaska Trade Bureau opened yesterday morning there was unusual activity on the part of the visitors and attendants. The exhibit rooms were fully crowded and addi- tional interest was given to the early hours by the fact that a party of fif- teen men, who came from Eureka, were in such a hurry to secure infor- nation in directions, as they wished to sail by the Umatilla to-day if possible. After looking over the exhibit the Eureka party started out to pur- chase the supplies and outfit neces- sary for a long stay in the Alaskan gold fields. They hope to be able to get all the necessaries together in time to take the steamer for Skaguay this morning, but in case of delay some members of the party may remain in the city until the Walla Walla sails. The party was prepared to buy cloth ing and provisions sufficient to last them not less than a year.
 In addition to these miners who out fitted yesterday more than seventy persons registered their names on the books of the Alaska Trade Committee. This was outside of all inquiries by mail. It is the practice of the clerk in charge of the registry list to person ally inquire if the persons registering contemplate going to Alaska, and while a large quantity of literature iE | given out to persons who are merely asking information no record of the names and addresses of any persons | are kept, except where they give as 1 surance that they have made up theil l minds to go to the Klondike. Up tC i the present time over HOO persons have been registered, and the practic, of the committee in taking the names and addresses of such visitors wa. | only begun within two weeks.

HoFF HELD FOR MURDER
He Will Reserve His Defense for tbe Superior Court.

Albert Hoff, charged with the murder of Mrs. Mary A. Clute, was yesterday held to answer before the Superior Court by Judge Joachimsen without bail.
 When the case was called yesterday morning Attorney Schooler announced that the defense would offer no testi- mony so as not to expose it's hand, sav- ing 1t for the higher court. He moved that the testimony of Mayer May, the witness who testified to having seen coupling pin in the possession of Hoff about two years ago. be stricken out of the record on the ground that he was a thoroughly incompetent witness, but the court ruled against him. He then moved to dismiss the case on the ground that sufficient cause had not been shown to warrant the court in holding Hoff, but the Judge dismissed the motion and held the defendant to answer,

'If you were not miserable dirty dog I'll pull the nose off your face" said City and County Attorney Cres- in his calmest and suavest tones. and, moreover, he looked as though he meant what he said.
 The remark quoted was the climax of an acrimonious debate during the session of the Election Commissioners. The Board met to officially declare the result of the late election, and, after that had been done, Commissioner Block moved that those who had been engaged in canvassing the returns be allowed $25 for their services.
 Surely, that is too much" protest ed MT. CresweIl. These men have worked only a day and half, and understand the compensation to be at the rate of s1O per day"
 Well, they have worked longer than the heads of departments in this government" said MT. Block.
 How do you mean?" asked Cres- we'll
 'I mean" returned Block, that of flee hours in this City Hall are only six hours a day, when these men here worked much longer"

 "Yes, I have work to do," returned Creswell, calmly. "So have you, and so have all the heads of departments if they will only do it.
 Well, you're paid for it, ain't you ?' said Block
 lingly. "So are you. But you are not paid to spend two or three hours every day down town attending to your pri- vate business. Yet you do SOL
 T don't intend to be criticized by any Commissioner" returned Block. "I think your remark is impertinent and insulting. I don't propose to submit to such remarks"
 MT. Block, if any remark was in- sulting, there is but one way to resent | it. You are at liberty to take that course, sir" was MT. Creswell's calm reply, though it was evident that trou- ble was brewing.
 Block shrugged his shoulders. q treat your remarks with contempt sir"
 This was too much for the City and County Attorney, who is a Southerner With his eyes blazing, he faced Block and said: If you were not a poor miserable, dirty dog I'd pull the nose off your face"
