 Chairman Afford, Gould, Caminetti and Markley expressed the opinion that the committee would not enter tain any resolutions relating to the annexation of Hawaii, and it was thought to be doubtful whether any one would offer to introduce the sub ject John Markley observed that it had never been the policy of the com mittee to adopt resolutions asserting the principles of the party. He fan cied that questions of party declara- tion on public affairs could safely be left to the judgment of the State con vention. Messrs. Afford, Gould and Caminetti expressed similar views
 caucus or the leaders of the party was held yesterday afternoon and various subjects were discussed In regard to annexation the fact was cited that the party as represented in Congress was against the measure and that a Democratic national ad- ministration had taken strong grounds against the policy of annexing the islands.
 In view, therefore, of the known posi- ton of the party on the subject it was determined that it would be unwise to entertain a resolution on the subject in the State Committee. The chair man, MT. Afford, announced that if such resolution were offered he would at once rule it out of order
 In regard to the delinquent list and the proposition to drop a large number of the committeeman who had not paid their assessments, it was the judgment of the caucus that harsh measures should not be enforced. Members of the committee on the delinauent list who were loyal and active workers during the last campaign will doubt less be reinstated. Others who were indifferent to party success and neg lected the interests of the party Will be dropped.
 It is known to members of the State Committee that F.. l.. Fitzgerald, who ! draws down a salary as Labor Com missioner of California, but whose req business is that of lobbyist in the in | terest of Hawaiian annexation, ha: | been buzzing about for several week. | to get members of the committee tt vote for a resolution instructing United | States Senator White to support ain nexation. MT. Fitzgerald was at thu | California Hotel last evening, but haC
 nothing to say in favor of his pc l measure. He found early in the da. yesterday that the mission in which h. | had engaged was not popular witl members of the committee.
 It was obvious to the Labor Commis

The Wosp Ibis Week.

Tn this weeks Wasp the public, and the members of the National Guard particu- larly, will find in the "Plain Talk to Pub lie Characters an address to Major General N. T. James, which Is worthy of consideration. However, this is not the only striking feature of this most inter esting weekly journal In the Under the x Ray" department the medical profes- sion will find something entitled to it's attention. And the musical criticisms of Professor A. Lucchesi will be read with appreciation The society gossip. the financial review and the "Old Maid s Diary" are all bright and readable as usual. Two full pages of half-tone illus trations of the Jubilee day parade and a page picturing the launching of the Jap anese cruiser Chitose, besides half-tones of a number of persons and things of the moment brighten the Wasp's pages. New features are the colored cartoons, which by the way, are exceptionally clever, and the Photo Chronological Studies, the first. of which appear in this weeks is- sue. The Wasp shows improvement every week.

OSBORN IS ONCE
 MORE IN CHARGE
The Pound Again in the Hands of the Munici-
 pality.
Control Taken From the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
 Animals.

The Health and Police Committee of the Board of Supervisors resumed its inquiry into the management of the pub lie pound yesterday, and after due delib- eration decided to recommend that the management of the institution be taken out of the hands of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and that Fred A Osborn, poundmaster under the old regime, be returned to his posi- tion.
 The action of the committee is based on a large number of complaints that have been received regarding the treatment of animals that have been impounded dur ing the last few weeks.
 Secretary Holbrook of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, in discussing the action of the committee of the Supervisors recommending his re- moval as poundkeeper, said:
 This whole matter IS due to my re fusal to recognize orders from members of the board to release impounded ami
 mals without the payment of fees. Ever since my appointment, sixty days ago, l they have been trying to trump up some l excuse for removing me. As a matter l of fact they do not want the society to ] have charge of the pound, and 1 have l been told by several people, among them l one Supervisor, that my removal as poundkeeper was only a question of time. Since I have been in charge have received numerous orders from members of the board for the release of animals, but have invariably refused to recognize
 them, until last week, when the society met and passed a resolution instructing
 me to release animals on orders from
 Supervisors and to charge the fee to the society so the city would not sustain l financial loss.
 ] ''To show how absurd is the cnarge ! that we are not properly performing our
 work I will state that last month we i'm
 pounded 110o dogS-moTe than double the ! number ever impounded before in a sin gle month. Then too, the assertion that
 the pound is unfit to keep an animal in is just as ridiculous. l keep one man now l who does nothing but keep the place { clean, and the animals are well cared 1 for. As I said before, the committee is l simply fishing for an excuse to take the pound out of the society's hands"

LABOR'S WANTS
 IN THE CHARTER
Resolutions to Be Presented to the New Free
 holders.
The Labor Council Holds It's Semi Annual Election Of
 Officers.

Organized labor wants a new charter for the city and county of San Fran cisco, and is determined to use every possible method to get not only a new charter, but one in which the working man will receive a fair recognition. The labor council a few weeks ago ap- pointed a committee to draft set of resolutions for presentation to the new Board of Freeholders, and last night the committee reported as follows:
 The committee on charter recommended that the following features are especially desirable
 | Maxinum hours and minimum wages on all public works. adopted by the charter con vention to which be added: The minimum wages of skilled labor, the latter term to mean members of trades unions to be the ruling
 2 All public work to be done by the city and county. and the abolition of the contract sys- tenn. -

 6. Free books for pupils of public schools
 '. All public officers at present elective 10 remain Board of Supervisory large enough to permit of the selection of all public commissions from its members
 S. We would also recommend that the cleo tion commissioners be requested to submit the charter to the people at a general election. so to give every citizen an untrammeled oppor- tunity to cast his vote.
 If these clauses are inserted in the new charter. particularly those referring to the initiative and referendum and the control of public utilities, it will receive the unanimous support of the trades unions affiliated with the Labor Council, while if they are not recognized all the forces of organized labor will combine to defeat the new document.
 The regular Semi-annual election of of- fcers was held last night. resulting as follows: President, J. Hill: vice-presi- dent, NJ. Davis; recording and core cial secretary J. Walter; treasurer, J. Halk; sergeant-at-arms, w. Dove; execu- tive committee, w. Macarthur, J. Hill, J. K. Phillips W. Meares, M Davis, James F. McAuliffe. J. Halk: organizing com mittee. w. Macarthur, Oh. Schuppert, C.

TO RESTRAIN CLUNIE.
Foreign lnsuropce CompuDies Ask to Have tbe Act of 1885 De-
 clored Null and Void.

United States Marshal Baldwin yester- day made his return of service of sum mons on Insurance Commissioner An drew J. Clunie in suit brought by thirty-four foreign fire insurance com panies. The complaint recites that the companies have each paid the s2O fee for certificates as required by law, which certificates authorize the companies to do business in this State. It sets up that the act Of the Legislature of 1885 requir- Ing the payment of 1 per cent of all premiums each year to counties and cities and counties by fire insurance com panies not organized under the laws of California, but doing business therein, and providing for the disposition of such premiums, is in violation of the constitu- ton or the State Of California. It is also alleged that none of the complainants have paid any of the percentages requir- ed by the act, and if the act were valid there would be now due and payable from them the sum of S27S 900.
 The complaint asks that the act of 1885 be declared null and void. and that the Insurance Commissioner be enJoined and restrained from proceeding against the complainants.
 T.. c. Coogan, Wilson & Wilson, John Garber and w. s. Goodfellow are coun- sel for the companies.

CORTLAND-AVENUE CLUB.
A New OrqonizotioD Formed at the
 Base of Bernol Heights.

The residents and property-owners on Cortland avenue and Folsom street have organized an improvement club for that section of the Bernal Heights dis trict.
 The formation of this club, judging from the exigency of the many wants of the families residing there, is a neces- sity, as up to the present time little or no improvements have been made for that portion of the city. The Spring Valley Water Company, although the Cortland reservoir is within a stones to run a serviceable main to any DOT ton of the settlement. As a conse- quence the people are virtually without a supply of fresh water. The families houses with the necessary drinking fluid.
 Another source of inconvenience felt by the people is the difficulty in getting to and from the city. or to the Mission proper. One mile must be travelled to reach the Mission street line. while the Folsom street line at Precita avenue is only three blocks distant, but it might as well be three miles so far as they are concerned, as the street is not cut through. It is one of the additional ob- tects the club has in view, to have the street cars continue from Ripley street to Crescent avenue.
 The Street Committee Of the Board of Supervisors was generous enough to pay the district official visit last week and on the representations made
 to it by the executive committee of the club, the City and County Surveyor was instructed to make a survey of the ground and also form an estimate of the probable expense of grading and paving the three blocks
