TO SETTLE THE
 UNIFORM QUESTION
AN APPEAL WILL BE SENT TO
 WASHINGTON.
Labor Men Despair of Being Able to Make a Satisfactory Agree ment With Major
 Long.

The publication of the fact that a num- Der of the uniforms for the volunteers were being manufactured in Chinatown has created a stir which promises to res urrect the old question of Chinese labor During the past week every labor organ1- Zation in the city has discussed the mat ter and committees from both central bodies have been cOnferring with Labor Commissioner T ILzgerald and Major Long in an effort to have the matter adjusted without appealing to the W ar Depart ment but no satisfactory arrangements have as yet been made.
 At the meeting of the Labor Council last night it's committee reported that, while Major Long had promised to re- quest contractors to give the work to white people only, he would not agree to imposing a fine for violation of such an agreement. A committee from the Build ing Trades Council was present and re- Quested the sister body to indorse the res olutions published in this mornings Call a copy of which has already been for warded to Washington by telegraph. The council, after a lengthy discussion, in- dorsed the resolutions and ordered that a telegram be sent to Washington urging that in the future a clause be inserted in all contracts which would effectually put a stop to the work being done by Chinese So heated did the members become over the matter that many are of the opinion that, should the Government refuse. to grant this request, such action be taken by workingmen as would compel recruit ing officers to go to Chinatown for vol unteers on the next call for troops.
 The routine business of the council was very light The Musicians Union report ed that the Society of Old Friends had caneeled, it's contract with non non-union t,n at it's picnic. The late Judge Campbell was president of this society, and he had been appealed to to use his influence in the matter. After his death a letter was found in his pocket addressed to the workingmen and would do his utmost to give the job to union musicians. It was this matter that he died. The letter was forwarded to the union by Archie Camp bell, and was ordered spread on the min utes. It was further reported that busi- ness was fairly good. owing to the mum troops from the depot to the camps.
 The printers reported that the strike condition was practically unchanged and that the union is constantly in need of financial assistance, as the strike ex- penses average over S1200 per week. Semi monthly donations are made by many of the local unions, which are very accept able, and an appeal has been sent out to Eastern unions.

Aged Philanthropist
 May Be Moved.
COURTS TO BE INVOKED
CLARA AND CHARLES SOLICIT
 oUS FOR THEIR FATHER.
Rumor Persistent in Asserting That a Strong Effort Will Be Made to Change the Ole Mans
 Residence.

There was a rumor current yesterday that Charles and Clara Sutro, children of Adolph Sutro would resort to legal proceedings to-day, with view to having the enfeebled philanthropist restored to his home by the ocean. Some weeks ago a great deal of comment was occasioned by his being forcibly removed from there by his daughter, Mrs. Dr. Merritt, despite 1 the protestations of other children. Since then he has been occupying apartments in the Merritt residence, receiving the care and professional skill of his daugh- ter. It was said that the other children were opposed to his remaining there, as he missed the ocean breezes and the fla miliar scenes of his beautiful home, and that this was retarding his recovery
 Rumor also had it that the two chill dren had combined against Mrs. Dr. Mer rttt and had instructed their attorneys, Messrs. Bishop and Wheeler, to institute proper legal remedies for the possession of his person.
 Miss Clara Sutro, daughter of the ex- Mayor, was seen at the family residence last evening. and although not denying that such a course would be pursued was reluctant to say anything in the matter and referred her interviewer to her at torney, Charles s. Wheeler.
 When seen the latter did not deny that he was going to file some papers, whether to-day or tomorrow he could not say There is not to my personal knowledge anything in the rumor, said MT. Wheeler, that papers will be filed to-day to gain possession of his person. It is my opin- ion MT. Sutro will be in his home within a short tfme-that is, as soon as his strength and the weather will permit. I am the attorney for Miss Clara, and as such have not been called on to prepare such papers. The documents that will be filed shortly relate to taxes and matters appertaining to the estate. I am not de- sirous at present to make known their contents, as it would be unprofessional Everything is going along smoothly, and I think that the children will reach an amicable settlement and the old gentle man will be removed to the Heights. I can assure you that so far as Iknow there will be no effort to have him taken there by legal means"

PABST CAFE REOPENS.
Hagerty 6 Leonhardt Are the New Managers Who Will Conduct
 It to Success,

The Pabst Cafe at the junction of Powell and Ellis streets is to be re- opened.
 Such an announcement will undoubt- edly come to many of the people of the city as pleasurable surprise and the consummation of long existent desire. Since it's discontinuance some months ago San Francisco has been deprived of one of it's most select, handsome and most appropriate family as well as private resorts and it's recontinuance is looked forward to by the general pub lie with eager anticipation.
 There are many cafes throughout the length and breadth of the city, but there is none that people can look to with more pride than the gem of ar tistic and architectural beauty on Powell street. Its reopening under a new management will most certainly inspire the public with confidence in the indefatigable efforts that are being exerted by the present owners in open ing the once popular resort on a larger and more elaborate style and system of accommodation.
 MesSrS. Charles Leonhardt and Rob- ert D. Hagerty, two of San Francisco s native sons, are the new managers and need little, if any, introduction to the public. For six years they conjointly conducted the Golden Gate Villa at the Ocean Beach and it is needless to say we'll and successfully. They are young men who understand their business thoroughly and intend to put this knowledge and skilled tact of manage ment toward furthering the success of their new venture by first endeavoring to please their patrons, as they have been accustomed to do for years.
 The accommodation of the Pabst Cafe at present is forty private dining rooms, including one large dining-room superbly decorated and adorned with valuable and costly original oil paint ings, depicting the principal character istic scenery of California, including glimpses of Yosemite Valley, the su- perb beauty of our mountain systems. etc.
 The cafe Is destined to spring into popularity almost as soon as 1t is open ed under the new management, as un- der a complete and more desirable ac- commodation, the lack of which has been the cause of it's previous decay as a popular resort. Its proximity with the leading theaters and easy access to almost the entire railway system Of the city will increase its popularity, as it will be most convenient to theater- ROerS.
