ARE NOW CLOSED.
Having Completed It's Campaign the Workers for Hon Government
 Await the Election.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, April At its meeting tonight the Charter Club passed the following resolutions:
 Resolved, That as this is the last meeting Of the New Charter Club before the day of election, and that the present campaign as concerns the club as an or ganized body is now closed, and partic- ularly since the club has no local press to represent and assist and defend it, therefore we make a final ap- peal to the people of San Jose to faithfully work and vote for the can didates indorsed by the New Charter Club This club and many of its mem bers have been told of the false. slam derous and villainous attacks by the ring through it's local paper and by malicious rumor Anticipating that these attacks will continue, we ask the people to ig- nore all reports which may be made at the last moment derogatory to the char acters of the candidates or imputing to them false, un just and contemptible mo- tives or charging them with mean and contemptible utterances.
 "The New Charter Club has indorsed as its candidates men well known in public life, old-time residents and highly respected citizens, against whom our opponents, the gang, have not dared to utter in public one word of just reproach. II elected they will give you a just, fair, clean, honorable and efficient administration of public affairs.
 Bearing in mind the late scandals and the many rumors and open charges of corruption in the present city gov ernment, we ask you to carefully con sider the character of the various candi dates, the manner of their selection and the kind of people who are urging their election. Our battle is to place honest capable and fearless officials in charge Of the public affairs of the city. Our battle is your battle. Help us to win it!'

San Bruno Road Car Service.

The residents on the San Bruno road are not satisfied with the ghost car service given them by the Market-street combine The horse-cars which run on this line make fifteen-m.nute trips from Potrero avenue and Twenty-sixth street out the road for about four miles. To cover this distance 1t takes one hour from the time the car starts until the end of the journey is reached. This delay is occasioned by the cars having to wait At the turn-outs along the line. As it is now the people living along the San Bruno road never think of coming into the city after nightfall., as 1t Is more difficult to get back and forth to their An electric line is urged for this road as the travel has increased fivefold during the past few years.

IMPROVEMENT IN
 SUNSET VALLEY
Opening Up a Large Section of San FranciScO'S Subur-
 ban Area.
Much Accomplished for the Progress of the Town by the
 Sea.

Through the pluck of the Sunset alley Improvement Club, that portion of San Francisco known as the Sunset district has made rapid strides during the past two years in bringing it into prominence as a choice residence section of the city.
 By constantly keeping its wants before the Supervisors and the others whose in fuence was deemed necessary to advance the interests of the valley, considerable headway has been made in making the place a choice residence district. There will be in short time two lines of elec- tric cars running into the center portion of the settlement. The Market-street hallway Company is now engaged In fill ing in the deep hollow on the south side of the old steamcar nouse. over which the new electric cars will run in the course of a month. This line will take the place of the steam cars that used to run to the beach.
 Since the Affiliated Colleges have been located on the bluff of the hill east of the valley a new age has dawned on the pro- gressive spirit of the people out there.
 The principal cause which has kept this section back is now about to be removed, namely the want of proper sewerage. This drawback Is now thing of the past, as the much-talked-of sewer will soon be completed This has given an impetus to a general line of progress, and as soon as the main intercepting sewer is com pleted to Fourteenth avenue the grading of Eighth, Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh avenues. and I, J and k streets will be undertaken. The executive committee of the club will ask the Supervisors to de- clare Ninth avenue boulevard from H street to the San Miguel rancho
 The Market-street Railway Company has in contemplation the building of trolley line along Parnassus avenue and J street which ma.- be extended to the Balboa boulevard and connect with the Mission-street electric line.
 th ho q change the electric line which runs out Frederick street, anC bring the proposed line right in front of the Affiliated Col leges door.
 Next and following the sewer benefit comes a promise from Engineer Schussler of the Spring Valley Water Company that mains will soon be laid into the district from the high-level reservoir on Claren- don Heights.
 The improvement club, through it's ex- ecutive committee. has been busy trying to head off the locating of pesthouse on the Almshouse tract, and to this end 1t has sent a petition to Senator Perkins, asking him to endeavor to secure the per mission of the Government to have a portion of Angel Island set apart for the San Francisco Pesthouse.

 TOXIC, April 7.-Japan will offer no opposition to the English occupation of Wei-Hai- Wei. The British Govern ment, before demanding the lease of that port from China notified Japan and the latter country acquiesced in the arrangement.
 The attempts now in progress here to bring pressure on the Japanese Gov ernment for the retention of Wei-Hai- Wei are mere political chess play, with no popular backing, and the Marquis Ito has declined to be influenced there by. The belief is growing that there is little further danger of international friction over the Eastern situation for a long time.
 LONDON, April S.-The Peking cor respondent of the Times says: The ex- tension of British territory at Kau Lung, opposite Hongkong, will follow immediately after the French occupa- tion of the new coaling station at Kwang- Chau- Wan.
