or the building would have been blown

or the building would have been blown to pieces.
 Quong Lee, the owner of the building and Chin Bin, the occupant, both deny that they have any enemies and claim they know no reason for the attempt to inJure them. Their statement is to be taken with grain of salt, however, as in like cases Chinamen mo sabe nothing" Chin Bin said he had seen man hanging around the door during the evening, and that the fellow had gone up the stairs a couple of times, but as the house was of i'll repute he thought nothing of it. He could give no description of the man. The police have two or three theories of the mo- tive; one is that some one in the house owed the dynamiter money and failed to square his accounts as all good Mon golians do at the end of the year. Cap tain Bohen believes that 1t was the work of a highbinder who had wanted money on which to celebrate and who upon being refused, took his revenge.
 There are a number of Chinamen from out of town here for the holidays The fact that dynamite or giant powder was used leads to the belief that some one from the powder works is the guilty party, and the officers are hope full of his apprehension.

THE GOVERNOR STILL ILL

Governor Budd will not be able to take part in the Jubilee celebration. He has been i'll for several weeks, and is now suffering from a relapse. A few days ago he showed marked improvement, and his friends then thought that he would be able to join in the celebration. When he became convalescent he found many mat ters of official importance awaiting him, and disregarding the injunctions of his physicians he attempted to attend to them. The result was that he overtaxed his strength and will be again forced to go into retirement.
 Governor Budd has looked anxiously toward the celebration, and expected to be able to take a part in it. but his phy- sicians informed him yesterday that he required absolute quiet and rest. Acting under their advice he went to his home in Stockton after telegraphing to Lieu tenant-Governor Jeter to represent him to-day at the launching of the Japanese cruiser, the Golden Jubilee celebration or Monday and on such other occasions as might require his official presence.

FREEHOLDERS
 WERE IN ERROR
Adopted a Misleading Section Concerning Super
 ViSOPS.
They Unintentionally Decreased the Board Instead of Increas-
 ing It.

The freeholders who are to frame a new code of laws for the government of the municipality discovered last night that they had made a bad mistake in hurriedly passing the first portion of the report of the legislative committee. The legislative body of the city and county under the charter being framed will con- sist of a board of eighteen Supervisors, who shall be elected by general ticket or at least it was the intention of the lawmakers to make such provision. Af- ter providing that there shall be eighteen Supervisors, to serve for two years, the committee recommended that "the board as first constituted by this charter shall so divide itself by lot that nine members of said board shall go out of office at the expiration of the first year and the other nine members at the expiration of the second year, and thereafter nine mem Der shall be elected annually to said board"
 The committee report was unanimously adopted Wednesday night, and it was not until last night that any of the freehold CTS discovered the mistake. Under the section as adopted eighteen Supervisors would be elected at flrst-nine to go ont at the end of the first year and the re- maining nine at the end of the second year, and thereafter nine members would be elected annually. While it was the in- tention of the committee to provide for a board of eighteen Supervisors the law as suggested would only provide for a board of eighteen members for the first year after the adoption of the charter and nine members from then on.
 When the mistake was called to the attention of the freeholders by Joseph O'Connor the adoption of the section was revoked and the provision referred back to the legislative committee to amend.
 The remainder of the session was de. voted to a general discussion of the powers to be vested in the Supervisors The great and troublesome point was concerning the imposition of license taxes
 Several of the members believed that the charter should specify on what occu- pationS, businesses or professions license taxes should be imposed. After a long and tiresome argument it was finally decided to vest in the Supervisors the power "to lay, levy and impose and to provide for the collection of license taxes"
 It was also decided to incorporate a sec- ton in the proposed laws providing that every. ordinance for the granting of franchises for the supply of light or water, or for the purchase of lands for municipal purposes at a cost to exceed s1oOO0, must be first submitted to the vote of the electors.
 The board will meet again next Tues day night.

dent on the wateS front yesterday. The bark Wilma arrived with 2350 tons of black diamonds and was docked at John Rosenfeld's Sons bunkers. From early in the morning until the bunkers closed down there was string of carts extending as far down as Folsom street awaiting their turn. As soon as the work of discharging the vessel stopped for the night the drivers of the wagons fed their horses and then prepared to make themselves comfortable for the night. Sooner than lose their place in the line they stayed by their wagons all night and were ready to get load as soon as the matches were off the vessel.
 Nearly every tug in the bay has been hired by different parties to go to the launching of the Japanese cruiser Chi tose this morning. Both of Henry Pe- terson's launches have been engaged and a number of scows have been an- chored in convenient places to give peo- pie who will use them a chance to view the ceremony.

~ YER 1400 school children drilled on
 the southern end of Van Ness
 avenue yesterday morning to pre-
 pare themselves for the big parade
 on Monday.
 There were twenty companies present, six of which were formed of girls, and all the line and field officers of the regiment were chosen from the school children themselves The schools represented were the Horace Mann, James Lick, Everett, Mission, Hamilton, Franklin. Pacific Heights, Crocker, Lin coin, Washington and John Swett. Each of the six schools first named sent com pany of girls as well as one of boys.
 The regiment was under the command of Professor George s. Niehling, instruc- tor In physical exercise in the schools named He formed his line at half-past with the first companies to arrive, and then, as the others came up, they were added until the column grew to imposing length. Evolutions in columns of fours and of platoons, the wheels and the flank marches the dresses and regimental and battalion formations were all gone through with. and about Il o'clock the column was broken and the children were sent back to their schools.
 The parade was mainly for the pur- pose of teaching the majors of the vart- ous battanons their 1 uties, and to teach the children in the ranks the necessity of listening for orders from their immedl- ate commanders and from no one else The companies had already become famil- far with the details of the various evolu- tions through their drills at their own schools. and so they readily learned what was wanted of them yesterday. Before the regiment dispersed Niehling presented to each company the banner which 1t will carry ia the parade.
 The officers of the regiment are as fol- lows.

WON THE SPRECKELS CUP. Tbe Lurlines Easily Defect the
 Fort Mosons at Woter Polo.

The third match for the Spreckels challenge cup between the Fort Mason Polo Team and the Lurline Swimming Club took place last evening at the Lur- line baths, in the presence of a large number of spectators. The Lurline boys found the soldiers easy victims, and they won with hands down by the score of g to 2.
 But for overconfdence upon the part of Goalkeeper Wideman the Fort Mason club would have been shut out. In the first half he permitted Smith to catch him off his guard and an easy goal was the result. In the second half Straus' throw for goal was a scratch, pure and simple, as he hardly realized that he had the ball. It came to him on a long, chance throw when he was not expecting It, and before Wideman saw where it was he managed to get it through the goal posts, @ The Lurlines clearly outclassed Ihe fort Masons at every point of the game, and in their team work they were especially superior to their opponents. as 6sreWer .x and Geddes were the bright stars or the Lurlines, while for the Fort Ma son son club smith and Captain Bailey did the best work
 The polo game was preceded by a 5O- gard oash between Clyde Hathorne and ! n: A Wideman, which was won by the dst datter Tn the remarkably fast time of 7 1d 20 seconds This was followed by a re- | Iay race Of 800 yards, between two teams Hidqe uP or the members of the LurIine club. The members of the first team were McDougal, Geddes, De Lyons. Bray ana Wldeman, and those composing the SSeSono S team were Bozio. Shepard.

more to their score, while their opponents only got one. The Lurlines scored their last goal with only a minute and a half to play. This was done by a pretty ex- hibition of team work. They rushed the ball straight into their opponents terri tory, and De Lyons threw a beautiful low goal The goal was kept almost en- tirely in Fort Masons territory, and at no stage of the game did they have a show to win, although the soldiers put up a stubborn contest With last night s victory the championship of the coast goes to the Lurline club and the privi- lege of retaining in their possession for another season the Spreckels cup
 During the evening a number of musi- cal selections were rendered by the Lur- line orchestra.

A Partially Successful At tempt to Blow Up
 a House.
One Room Completely Wrecked and the Occupants Badly
 Frightened.
THE MOTIVE NOT KNOWN.
Police Hard at Work on the Case and Hopeful of Experimenting the
 PerPetratOr-

The usual custom among the China
 men of burying the hatchet at New
 Years time and being at peace with all men, was broken this year by an al- most successful attempt to blow up house located at 27 Washington al- ley yesterday morning. A little before } o'clock officers Peters and Fred Smith, who were on duty in China town to prevent the shooting of fire crackers, heard a lively fusilade in the direction of Fisk alley, and this was followed immediately by a loud explo- sion. The police hurried toward the place where they had heard the noise, but were unable to locate any trouble, and thought that some ardent wor- Jhiper of his joss had exploded a bomb.
 Later in the morning Sergeant Shea of the Chinatown squad was informed by Chin Bin. the proprietor of the house, that an attempt had been made to blow up his place. Shea went to the house and found that some explo- sives had been placed under a door on the first landing of the stairs and that the second floor of the house had been very badly wrecked. The stairway was broken, the door torn from the wall, one side of the partition badly shat tered and the other completely blown to pieces. Seven men were sleeping in the room wrecked by the explosion and were somewhat bruised by the falling timbers. In the third story, which was occupied by women, bed was broken and glass in the windows shattered.
 Detectives Gibson, Wren and Cap- tain Bohen were put on the case to help Sergeant Shea, but up to a late hour had been unable to discover the niscreant or the motive. A careful ex- animation of the premises failed to re- veal any traces of a bomb, and the po- lice have come to the conclusion that 1t must have been dynamite, but that 1t must have been rather small stick

THoMPS SONS STRANGE TALE.

Thomas Thompson, secretary of the Thompson Bridge Company, was not held up, as he claimed. but lost his money playing poker.
 Last Thursday Thompson visited police headquarters and told a sensational story of being held up on Montgomery and Mar ket streets and robbed of a gold watch and chain and $50 in cash. The detective who was detailed to make an investiga- tion last night reported that Thompson lost his money playing poker in a saloon on Montgomery street. He believes that Thompson, in order to square himself with his wife, concocted the story of be-. ing held up and robbed.
