 Deficiencies.

BERKELEY, Jan. 5.-Between twen- ty and twenty-five Berkeley students, mostly freshmen and sophomores' VIII be advised to withdraw from the unl- versity on account of deficient worK during the past term. Besides those who will be dropped from the uniVer- sity roll, from forty to fifty students will be placed on probation. ana their work between now and next May VIII determine whether or not they VIII pc allowed to remain at the university.
 About 400 deficiency reports nave been sent out since the Chrlstnlas eA- aminations by Recorder Sutton. Hal1 of this number, however, were TOT cases where examinations had been postponed by the instructors ana the reports deferred, so the number or act uat deficiencies will scarcely exceed 200. These figures represent only the results in the term courses, the marks in the year courses not being given un- iii the close of the college year in May.
 In spite of the large number Of de- fciencies this term. notices having been sent to one-Quarter of the students at Rerkelev.

OVERWORKED OFFICERS.
Lieutenupt BeDpett and Three of His Men Loid on the Sick
 list

The influx of crooks into the city during the present winter has given the Police Department a considerable amount of extra work. Not only have the men on this side of the city been kept busy. but also those on the South ern Heights, or Potrero section. Lieu tenant George w. Bennett, who has charge of this division of the Police Department, had made up his mind in the early part of the season that come what may his district should be kept free of the burglars and highwaymen who ply their nefarious vocation on unsuspecting citizens. This promise he has faithfully kept, as the records will show, for the southern section of the city has been free from hold-ups or burglaries A quartet of Oregon bur- glars, however, pitched their camp in the Potrero in the early part of De- cember, but the vigilant eye of Ben nett soon discovered their headquar- ters, and inside of a week he had them locked up on the charge of vagrancy and at the same time had confiscated their kit of burglar tools, which he found in an empty house on Nebraska street The names of this quartet are: EQ t1IZSeratQ, fTdnk WOOD, 1nOI1dS Burke and James Moran. The rogues' gallery has been ornamented with their phiZes and the charge of vagrancy placed against their names on the prison register.
 Since this quartet has been "bagged" the Potrero has been free from import ed crooks. The last case. and the one which has brought the attack of ill., ness on Lieutenant Bennett, occurred last Sunday night, when a man named Daniel Meehen, who was employed in the Union Iron Works and who roomed in the house of Mrs. Kane on Twen- tieth street. broke into Miss Kane's
 room during the night and stole her
 gold watch and chain, valued at $50. The case being reported to Lieutenant Bennett, he at once set out to find the thief. This he succeeded in doing, after being out for twenty-four hours without rest or refreshment. The un-
 dertaking was, however, too much for his constitution; he received a severe
 stroke of apoplexy at his home on Iowa street yesterday forenoon. At one time his life was despaired of, but Dr. Jerome Anderson, who was called into
 attendance. pulled him through, so far
 as to give his many friends and his family hopes of recovery.
 Lieutenant Bennett is not the only
 member of the police force in the
 southern section who has suffered by
 overwcrk in keeping the place free
 of thieves. Officer R. Ennis, who has
 charge of the South San Francisco station, Is an invalid suffering from infiammatory rheumatism. Officer Robert Mcconnell, the prison keeper at the Potrero station, is confined to his
 bed suffering from a touch of the grip.
 Officer T. c. Clancy is down with an
 enlargement of the liver. In the mean time Officer John Lews is in charge
 of the district, while Officer Tom Stan
 ton has charge of the Potrero sta ticn. The only consolation growing out
 of all this misfortune to the Police De- partment and the officers immediately effected is that the Potrero is free of burglars and footpads.

PROGRESS OF
 THAT CANAL The Special Committee on In- vestigation Makes Its
 Report. A Meeting Held at Which the Irlo- provement Was Fully
 Discussed.

ALAMEDA, Jan. 1.-The committee appointed by Chairman Forderer of the joint meeting of invited citizens of Alameda and Fruitvale Sanitary dis tricts No. and 2, appointed to wait upon Colonel Suter for information with regard to the completion of the tidal canal, submitted the following report at the meeting called this even- ing:
 Your committee begs leave to report as follows:
 That, acting under the instructions of
 @ld meetng yo9r smfan etsS %Ssd staea on Division Engineer for the Pacific Coast, and was respectfully referred to Major Heuer, engineer in charge of the Oakland harbor improvements.
 Major Heuer, when waited upon, cheer fully gave your committee the following information:
 That pursuant to instructions from the Department of Engineers at Washington, he had prepared plans, specifications and estimates for the completion oi that par part | tions of Colonels Mendei and Suter did | not conflict: to wit:
 First-Dredging the channel 300 feet
 wide from the Alice and Webster street bridges west to deep water in the bay of | San Francisco to uniform depth of 20 | feet at low tide.
 Second-Deepening the channel from the Alice and Webster street bridges east | to the tidal basin to a uniform depth of | IT feet at low tide.
 | Third-Dredging the channel in the tidal basin on the East Oakland and Alameda | shores to a depth of feet at low tide. | and deepening the tidal basin Itself to a | uniform depth of feet at low water. | The above plans and specifications have 1 been forwarded to the authorities at | Washington, and as soon as approved | bids will be advertised for, and If no | obstacles present themselves, work will | be commenced at once; the same to be | let on the continuous contract plan, but
 not more than % per cent of the total
 appropriation of .O00 to be expended | in any one year.
 The plans and specifications of Major | Heuer called for no bulkheading or fill
 ing in of the canal, and unless specific | instructions to that effect are received l from Washington no action will be taken
 Your committee was also informed that | the improvements as outlined might pos | sibly be done for about s400, 900. Respect | fully submitted,

district, 200 starving children from the worst famine-stricken district have been cared for" he said. This fact should be particularly interesting be- cause the home of which I speak is entirely supported by the California circle organized by the Princess Rama bal. I have just received from her a letter in which she tells of the latest news from her district. She says they have just received sixty-four women and children in the home who presented a pitiful sight when they first came Some were too weak to move, others were covered with sores, painful to look at, and others through poverty had been forced to wear the same clothes so long that they would hardly hold to- gether.
 ''The famine relief work still goes on and I am informed 1t will be necessary to give out help till the middle of Jan- uary, so that hope by this time India s horrible famine is at an end. was privileged to see the arrival of the corn, rye and beans sent to India by this country. On the one hand was the joy of the people and on the other the clean beautiful grain, presenting a ! we were used to seeing. and I can as- sure you that this substantial help was more than acceptable to the starving 1 people. When it was distributed every body acknowledged thar we made it reach exactly the persons who most needed it, and on behalf of the many who were helped, I wish to thank again and again all the donors.
 The Indian Government was led largely by American influence to pro- vide public work for the purpose of | giving wages to thousands of starving men. In our work we employed some 400 to TOO persons for five months, the men receiving cents a day and the women pice, or about a cent and a half a day. They were only then half fed, but it tided over the fearful pe- riod, and much good work was done on these lines. A ieper asylum, con- sisting of seven buildings, was com pleted, native hospital was built, and in one place a good well was dug, which supplied a whole village, and in other places miles of roads were laid out"
 The speaker stated that among the natives of India there is a very warm feeling for all Americans on account of the substantial help sent them when most needed. Although the corn and provisions sent from this country are comparatively small when the ex- i tent of the famine is considered, still | the news of its arrival spread all over the country and helped to cheer many who did not receive any of the mate | rial benefit.

ALAMEDA, Jan. 5.-It is expected that at the next election there will be a warm contest for the office of Justice of the Peace in this city.

This ap- plies to Alameda, and as there Is a good living in the office if confined to one man, it is expected there will be a sharp contest for the coveted billet

 ALEXANDER 'MACKIE.
 The report was received and filed and the committee discharged with thanks.
 Judge Hunt then moved that a com mittae of seven be appointed by the chairman of the meeting to act with a c1nlni'tee of a number from San I.enndro snd Fruitvale to use all iegit- innate means to secure the completion of the tidal canal Alex Macllie was orposed 10 the motion. He believed that the city of Alameda should lake action with Oakland and any other city interested in the improvement. Mr. Pembroke believed that Colonel von Schmidt was superior to Colonel Suter as regards the knowledge of Oakland harbor. He stated that he believed that if Colonel Suter were stripped of his titles and compared with Colonel Won Schmidt that Won Schmidts word as to the matter would be taken in preference to Colonel Suter's. He thought 1t was high time for Oakland and Alameda to take measures to cut through the canal and relieve it of filth. He believed in another committee meeting with Oakland. MT. Forderer stated that he did not think that the Oakland committee would ever consent to cut the canal through directly, and he believed that if Alamedans did not take some action the engineers report would be accepted by the Government. A great deal of discussion was had over the motion. It was finally adopted and the chairman will appoint the com mittee in a few days. It is expected that like committees will be appointed from San Leandro and Fruitvale. The meeting adjourned until two weeks from tonight, when 1t is expected that some report from the committee to be appointed will be received.
