the reel' since he whipped the hard punching Slavin six years ago.
 Jackson has trained with the object of winning the contest this evening. He is physically in tolerably good condition and his admirers expect to see him cleo trify the big heavyweight, but Jeffries and his Warmest friends smile when the name of Jackson is mentioned, and in a quiet way Billy Delaney remarks:
 We'll Jackson is a good fellow in a social way and has been a great fight CT. but Peter the Great has had one fight too many. On Tuesday evening we will land him a member of the John l.. sullivan army; viz, men who have seen better days
 At Crowley & Raggett's poolrooms last evening Jackson crawled up to aimost even money, but his stock fell away per cepubiy, and at 10 o'clock last evening the betting favored Jeffries, the pools closing at 10 to ', with Jackson on the short end. In the Paris mutuals the bet ting was as follows: Jackson, from 1 to 4. H; to g. 24; 10 to 13, 50; 14 to r, 5S IS and over, IA.
 Jeffries, from 1 to 4, B; to 9, 32; 10 to Is, S7; IA to 17, 46; IS and over, 107.
 It was rumored last evening that if Jackson discovered early in the contest that Jeffries was a harder game than he expected he would fight with the object Of winning the match on points, which he certainly can do unless the manager Of Jeffries sends his charge into the con- test with instructions to do or die.
 Jefries should certainly defeat Jack son, all things considered, if he can ue in- duced to sail in and fight to win.

Immigration Commissioner North and the Special Board of Inquiry yesterday refused a landing to thirty-three out of the ninety-eight Japanese who arrived recently by the China and the Doric. The remaining siXty-five were allowed to land.
 The unlucky thirty-three claimed to be farmers, visiting California for the pur- pose of studying agriculture-rice culture for instance-by walking from farm to to farm and watching the Californian farmer raise cotton, rice, jute, opium. sugar cane, SilkWorms etc None of the new arrivals had more than SS4 in cash and the board and the Commissioner were convinced that the thirty-three were cool ieS and had come hither under labor con tracts. Their blankets and clothing had been supplied by the same firm in Yoko- hama, and they all hailed from the same district

HOW KENNEDY
 WON HIS BET
Tenn Peasley Plays the Tramp in Real Life and Is a
 Success.
The Knight of the Road, in "1492," Receives Cold
 Treatrn1

Tom Peasley is a tramp and there IS no mistaking it. In the show and out of the show he meets with equal success when he dons the raiment of the knights of the dusty roads. Last night after the curtain dropped on the first performance of '1492'' at the Columbia, Peasley re- ceived word from r. J. Kennedy, his man. ager, that he was not to change his tramp costume. A bet was made between Ken nedy and a friend that Teasley could not so far merge his identity in his clothes and makeup as to be taken for genu- inc tramp. The test was made last night with the utmost success, and Kennedy came in for first money.
 Peasley, in his regular tramp costume, but with his face unadorned by the close cropped roseate whiskers he wears on the stage, drifted into the Columbia cafe about 11;S0, He fell upon the lunch coun- ter like a hound upon a hare. On one plate he piled crab salad, enchiladas, cold with supreme gusto. Si Green took chillS at sight of this voracious avalanche, and had hardly breath left to order one of his barkeepers to eject the tramp. The bar was crowded at the time, and some generously inclined youth shouted out to bring the fellow in for drink, but his words were unheeded and PeaSley went the way of the outcaSt.
 From the Columbia the guileful tramp walked over to t.4e baldwin, sauntered in- to the lobby and asked for room with bath attached. The clerks displayed a surprise that does not usually mar their impressive countenances Peasleys shirt was striped black and white. A keen ob- server in the crowd wanted to know who the tramp was with "con's" shirt. Neither lodging nor board was for Peas ley in his stage effects. Escorted by the clerk he left the building with impreca- tions on his lips about the charity of the rich.
 Up Powell street he stopped men and women, his plea being thirst and hunger. The cold shoulder of humanity was all he got-with one exception-Bogie O'Don- nell wanted to buy him a drink.

A Great Season of Baseball Arranged by the California League.
 Schedule of Games.

When Colonel Procession Robinson heads the opening parade of the new California League on Saturday next, the small boy and. in fact people of all ages should be on the lookout for him Seat ed in the first carriage guarding $lO0 trophy. which will be contested for by the six teams, the doughty colonel will head a regiment of the brawn and mus cle of what constitutes the new league. AS music has always been a pleasing feature of the colonels openings, it will not be omitted on this occasion, as two leading bands have been engaged. The parade will wend it's way through all the inDortant streets, so as to give every one an opportunity to gaze on the colonels beaming countenance and on his galaxy of stars, who have made names for themselves on the diamond in sea sons gone by, and who will very likely be heard from in the present series.
 All the orphan asylums of this city have received an invitation to attend the opening game.
 Games will be played every Saturday and Sunday in the important cities of the State. and 21a per cent of the gate re- ceipts of each game will be placed in the AneIo-CaIifornian Bank to form a fund to be divided among the three teams holding the highest percentage at the end of the season.

 Carpenter.
A True Bill Found Against Mrs Stewart on Charge of Working
 of Bogus Dian1Onds

The Grand Jury at it's session last night,
 after listening to the charges preIerreo
 arainst Frank Carpenter, bookkeeper'
 took the matter under advisement. From
 the evidence it appears that a DaVls street merchant named Phillips has been in the habit of spcculating outside or his
 regular business quite extensively, ana CarDenter acted as his agent, in buying
 LID salary warrants of municipal em-
 nIoves. Phillips testified that he Ire ouently gave Carpenter considerable sums of money to invest for him, these sums at times amounting to 5000 or s25OO. some months ago, according to Pnlillps, Car pepter called upon him and asked Tor 5000 stating that he was Tn hurry
 Phillips gave him check on the Lon don and San Francisco Bank Tor the amount. taking Carpenters receipt, Whlcn he placed in his desk. He then accom- panied Carpenter to the bank for the pur- pose of identifying him, after when ne his return he found his desk hau been ransacl1ed and the receipt given him py Carpenter missing He Immediately nunt- cd up the agent and demanded dupl- cate receipt but Carpenter refused to give it. Phillips accused Carpenter or having stolen the receipt and atterWaro ( is partner, MT. Williams, sought to ln- Fuce Carpenter to return it, but the lat ter declared he had burned 1t. When Phillips made another attempt to recover the receipt he says Carpenter asserted that he had paid the money and since then he has been unable to obtain SatiS- faction and now asks the Grand Jury i to indict Carpenter for grand larceny.

against Mrs. Stewart. the associate and alleged accomplice of Joseph Schwartz, the diamond swindler, found a true bill against her for having swindled man nafneo Nash out of a large sum of money. ScnWartz was indicted last Monday night TOT LOT having fieeced a jeweler named Wolf son son py selling him bogus diamonds. The woman has been living at 211 Mason street, and it is alleged that she sent, noIe 10 person named Fisher at the Baldwin asking him to call on her.

He made charges before the Grand Jury, and it was upon his. testi- mony and that of Fisher that the indict- ment was returned. The Grand Jury is not entirely satisned with Fishers con nection with the case, and next Monday night will endeavor to ascertain whether he was an accomplice of the Stewart woman.

Meeting of Bush-Street Property Owners Not
 Favoring the Job.
The Hand Of the Sutter-Street Railroad Company Said to
 Be at the Helm.
Resolutions Adopted Condenning the Proposed Action of the Supervisors
 and Against Its Passage.

A meeting of indignant property-owners was held at lAe Wentworth Hotel, 6f7 Bush street, last night for the purpose of entering Q final protest against making boulevard of Bush street. The owners of real estate on Bush street assemp pled on short notice to take suitable action against what they characterized one of the greatest farces of the closing century.
 Among those present, all ot whom are property-owners were: Dr. J. F. Shiels, E. Peterson, J. w. Manning, Robert White, F. T. Martin, Mrs. M. w. New man, Mrs. Alma E. Keith, James M Fay Tor, A. s. Baldwin, G. K. Hilton, Dr. S. M. Mouser, Frank Maxson, John Miller, John Donnelly, Edward Partridge, pr. Lohsen, Colonel P. Roland, Mrs. l.. M. Biglow, Mrs. Catherine Broad 1ars. Mary McKeman, Mrs. Margaret Barr, Mrs. Re- becca Carson, J. M. Costello J. Hanlon, Mrs. J. D. Feldbus.l, Mrs. E. Peterson J. B. keeSing anu 1rS. A. F. Asher
 The meeting was called to order by J. M Taylor, and on motion Dr. J. F. Shiels was voted to the chair and Colonel F. Roland was elected secretary.
 Snarp and pointed speeches opposing the plan of making a boulevard of the street were made by Mrs. Mary w. New man; a large property-owner and pioneer lady of the city, Mrs. Alma E. Keith; P. J. Martin, Montell Taylor, J. Hanlon, M. J. Manning, pr. MouSer and others. It was DdQ enough, they agreed, 10 nave ghost car line ambulating past their doors tor years, thereby retarding the prospects of the street and tending to depreciate the value of property. It was said that tnere are two men who own property on the street who are aiding the Sutter- street company to make the street boulevard so that no other street rail- way company can ever get franchise on it. These two were named as MT. Hooker and w. B. Bradbury, both of whom, it is charged, are stockholders of the Sutter- street company.
 Resolutions objecting to the boulevard scheme were adopted, and the secretary and president appointed as committee to present them at meeting of the Street Committee on thursday.
 By vote, it was decided to have every member of those present appear before the committee and also before the full board at their meetings, and by this means convince the Supervisors that the property-OwnerS are determined to op- pose the boulevard scheme tooth and nail, even to going into court if neces-

COOK ACQUITTED.
The Market Street Officer Repri-
 manded by the Police Con-
missioner:

Police Officer James Cook was before the Police Commissioners last night, charged with ill-treating Frank Bond, clerk in a South th-of-A.arket-streetl lodging house. Cook had a warrant for Bonds arrest on a charge of battery, and as the latter did not want to be taken to the City Prison, he rave the officer $40 as ball. After leaving the place Cook was incensed at the remarks of some. men who were not friendly to Bond and, evi- dently thinking he was getting the worst of it as he expressed it. he re turned to Bonds room and, after drag ging him out of bed. made him dress him self. He then took him to the nearest patrol-box and rang in for the wagon, After it's arrival Bond was placed in it and taken to the City Prison. where he was formally charged. Thinking that the officer had exceeded his duty, Bond pre- ferred charges against him. Last night the case came up before the Commission CTS, and as Bond pleaded that the officer was not to blame ne asked that the case against him De dismissed. After repri- manding him for his conduct, the Com missioners dismissed the charge against the officious policeman. It was decided to postpone the appointment of success sor to eX-Sergeant Davis until the next meeting.

Imposed on 8 Woman.

A well-dressed middle-aged man visited the lodging-house at SIS Jessie street last night and pretended to be anxious to rent a room. He claimed he was a mining man, and after selecting a room, he gave Mrs. Hoffman, the proprietoress d $5 Con- federate bnI. She gave him $4 in change, and he at once disappeared. A friend who happened to be in the house at the time informed Mrs. Hoffman that the bnl was valueless, and she notified Cap
 tain Spillane. The man was described as being about 90 years of age, rather tall and had a light mustache. He was dressed in dark suit of clothes and wore a silk hat. From the description given of him, the police are convinced that he is the same man who recently passed several Confederate bills on un- suspecting storekeepers in the Mission.

THE BLACK WILL
 MEET THE WHITE
Peter Jackson and Jim Jeffries Will Perform This
 Evening.
Bettind Favors the Los Angeles Heavyweight, Who Has Youth
 and Strength.

This evening the sporting fraternity of this city will witness a great treat in fisticuffs at Woodward's Pavilion.
 Apart from a ten-round contest be- tween two clever youngsters, the patrons of the ring will have the pleasure Of see ing the great master of "the manly art in a contest of twenty rounds against the powerful and fairly scientlhc Jim Je1fles of Southern California.
 The contest in a nutshell will be a game of hit and miss between general who has undermined his constitution and a young and powerful athlete who has still much to glean in the art of self-de- fenSe.
 Peter Jackson is undoubtedly pol ished artist. He thoroughly understands every point of the game and as matter of fact he can rest himself in battle when his opponent is exerting every muscle in his body with the object of attaining certain end.
 But be that as it may, the question at issue is. can the clever Peter Jackson baffie the attacks of the enemy and re- main on deck until the limit round is called?
 According to Jackson his young oppon- ent will be made to learn that experi- ence teaches. Jackson has seen Jetfries perform and unless he formed a good line on the fighting qualities of the pow erful young man from Los Angeles, it is surmised that he would not consent to meet him in a twenty-round contest.
 Jackson will certainly lose prestige if Jeffries shoul1 whip him, and having honor and reputation at stake, it is ex- tremely doubtful that the sensitive and proud champion of England and the Aus tralians would sign articles to fight any man unless he thought that victory was fairly certain.
 Rather than suffer bad defeat the friends of the colored champion contend that Peter Jackson would retire from the business of prize-fghting and leave the hard-earned honors he has achieved by @ the power Ia ms Se linoe to pe Loughe TOT distinction which he now attains, viz, champion of the old countries
