was the annual address of the president. Mrs. Sturtevant-Peet said:
 ''It is because of unnatural and ira tional conditions that the Woman 8 Christian Temperance Union exists. This is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the crusade with which the movement orig mated. For twenty-five years we have stood for purity and prohibition, ignored by the courts and ridiculed by politicians It Is true the world takes little heed of our efforts. Our labor has been for free dom. We look upon evil as the sole and only cause of evil; 1t is only lack of back bone and moral courage that tolerates the saloon and perpetuates it's misery.
 "There is too little sympathy and sup many people are disposed to palliate the evil which it combats. People who have nothing but convictions upon this subject are traitors, for it Is treason for them to ignore their duty toward existing condi tions The world brands us as fanatics. But if to promote purity, to help the fallen, is fanaticism, may God make us all fanatics. Public opinion lauds deeds of charity, yet it brands as fanatics those who try to remove and eradicate the causes of all this poverty and vice which make this charity necessary"
 The president was followed by, the Rev. W. w Scudder of Alameda, who, In an address upon "The Responsibility for the Status of Temperance To-Day" laid the blame for intemperance at the doors of the church "The fault was,' he said, "that the church sanctioned saloon H. censes. Even ministers and respectable members of their congregations fail in this respect. The church itself Is the only organization that can change this condi- ton of things. Yet the church seems in different. It does not put forth it's great est effort It alone should inaugurate so- cial righteousness, and leave the State to support and enforce 1t.
 The Rev. John A. Wilson, D. D., enter tained the audience with many humorous stories. He argued for concentration of effort in temperance reform. But the reverend gentleman did not believe that the church was responsible for intemper- ance, because, he said, the church did

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,


 sos Broadway, Oct IS. Ground will be broken tomorrow for the building of the "Dottle Cooke" Annex to Fabiola Hospital. This annex is to be built partly with money that was the per sonal property of Miss Dottie Cooke, who died last spring. During her lifetime, which ended so soon, Miss Cooke was al ways interested in children, and when she died her private account amounted to 5000. When conscious that death was not far off, she requested that her money be spent in some manner for the benefit of little children. Her mother, Mrs. liar riet Lee Cooke, after some consideration, offered to build a childrens annex to Fabiola. and to endow it in such a man ner that it will accommodate eighteen children, which is one for each year of her daughters life.
 The offer was formally made to the lady managers of the institution, and ac- cepted. The plans have been prepared by D. F. Oliver, the architect. and work will be commenced right away.
 The Dotte Cooke Annex will be two stories in height and there will be one large ward on each floor, with several prl- vate rooms. A large playrOOm has been arranged, which will be fitted with toy cases and shelves and everything to make the little untortunateS happy. The eXte- ror or the building is of the Greclan style of architecture and embodieS all the latest LLIPn N0L4eL!tS tLdl Ht1S OeeI ueNS51Opeu. IT similar institutions. The connection with the main building will be by an elevated glass corridor from the second story.
 A feature of the exterior will be the porch entrance, which will be Spanned by a heavy arch supported on pillars. On the face of this arch will be tablet of stat uary bronze, bearing the inscription, "Dottie Cooke" The Keystone will unfold the words Her wish for children" Prominent in the interior will be mem orial window which will be placed at the end of the playrOOm and will contain the portrait of the donor, surrounded by a wreath of flowers with a ribbon, on the flowing end of which will be written, For my sake let the little ones be tended The contract for the building has been already signed and it will be ready for a dedication by Christmas.

INDIA and CHINA
BALFOUR HAS A BUSY DAY IN
PARLIAMENT
A Partial Statement of England
Foreign Policy-Curzon the New
Indian Viceroy

LONDON, Aug. 10.-During the debate on
tho appropriation bill in the house of COM
mons today Sir Charles Dixie, advanced
Radical made an attack on the govern
ment's foreign policy and especially in the
far east. The Liberal leader in the house.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, followed In
the same strain.
The government leader, Mr.. Balfour, re-
plying to the last speaker, said he regret
ted the absence of the parliamentary Sec
rotary for the foreign office, Mr.. Curzon.
on account of indisposition, especially as it
would have been the last occasion for him
to address the house on foreign affairs a
subject on which he has made and de-
serves a reputation. (Cheers.)
Mr.. Balfour then announced Mr.. Cur
zon's acceptance of the vice-royalty of In
dia In succession to the Earl of Elgin.
Mr.. Balfour contended there was no evil
dence of preference having been given to
foreign manufacturers or traders in China.
1t was impossible, he said. to foresee how
the struggle for concessions would end, but
he saw no reason for the pessimistic views
entertained in some quarters.
Regarding Shan Tung. Mr.. Balfour said:
1--WE must treat Germany as We expect her
to treat u.s."
Referring to Russia, Mr.. Balfour said he
saw no necessity for taking a pessimistic
view of the situa tion, and he would be SUR
prised If the British concession agents did
not get their full share.
Mr.. Balfour's speech appears TO have
been intended as statement of the gov
ernment's policy in China, which the OPP
position has been demanding before the
close of parliament He did not enter into
details of the complications, and the drift
of his explanation was that the govern
ments critics expected impossbilities.
In the course of his remarks Mr.. Balfour
said 1t could not be pretended that the
British empire alone, or in alliance with
xnother empire, could prevent the legiti-
nate development of other commercial and
military empires. Mr.. Balfour then said:
Though we may not anticipate maintain
ing our old relative superiority in China,
it is expected that the volume of their
trade will increase as rapidly in the future
as in the past. The question of equal facil-
tiles of trade is distinct from the question
of concessions"
LONDON, Aug. n.-Mr. Curzon, the vice.
roy of India, will probably start for CAL
cutta In November. The appointment ex-
cites quite unusual interest. All the morn
ing papers publish, In addition to edltori-
ais, special articles reviewing his strlk-
ingly~ brilliant career, wishing him success
and generally expressing approval OF the
appointment, though some doubts are sug-
gested on the score Of his comparative
