COURIERS OF COMMERCE.
The California CoDmerciol Trov- elers' AesociotioD EDtertoins
 a Large AudieDce.

The "drummers" have had an ar tistic inning.
 It was a large and enthusiastic crowd which assembled at Native Sons Hali on Monday to attend the en- tertainment given by the California Commercial Travellers Association. The main floor was crowded and the gallery well filled, and it is safe to say that no one in the audience had any adverse criticism to pass upon the per formance It was generally conceded to be "a great show one entirely worthy of the reputation of the knights of the grip as whole in the matter of entertaining and amusing.
 After a highly felicitous address by Mertin c. Allen, who paid a glowing tribute to the omnipresent drummer" the following programme was rendered admirably as to every feature: Vocal solo, T. J. Byrne; recitation, w. W. Bracket: banjo solo, Professor E. L. Appleby; whistling solo, Miss Cord Wetjen; skirt dance, Miss Hattie Luce; graphophone, MT. Richardson; zither solo, Joseph Regensberger; impersona- ton of Lew Dockstadter, Martin Krel- ing: recitation, Miss E. F. Shade; col ored quartet; stereopticon views of Klondike.
 The performers were all received with the heartiest enthusiasm, some of them being recalled three or four times.
 On the conclusion of the programme the main floor was cleared for terpsi- chorean revelry, which was indulged in until a late hour.

 Late in the afternoon he was given food, and the manner in which he de- voured it proved that the arresting of- ficer was no judge of insanity nor starvation.

GOvernme ent Action Is to Be Taken Against the
 Slave-DealerS.
Those Who Have Had In1mu- nifty Will Feel the Laws
 Clutches.
Close Investigations to Be Made Into the Methods Used by Inn
 pOrters.

The action of Collector Jackson In sending back to China Chow An Yet, Wong Toy Chin and Lee Kune How. the three girls whom the Slave-dealers' Association attempted to land under the guise of being Native Daughters. carried consternation to the headquar- ters of those who have been violating the immigration laws. With the cessa- ton of the crusade against the Chinese slave-dealers, there came feeling of immunity, which caused the importers to send word to China that the coast was now clear. and the result was that extensive preparations were made to send over a1 many girls as possible be- fore the next agitation.
 The steamer Peru, which will arrive here next Saturday. is said to have a large number of girls aboard whom the dealers expect to get through the Custom house, but since the Collector Is getting versed in the ways of the Mongolians, 1t is probable that there will be more disappointment for the importers. The Collector is making closer investigation into the various cases that are presented for his con- sideration, and it is rumored around the Chinese bureau that there are cer- tain surprises in store for those who have been so openly violating the law, as we'll as for several white men who have aided and abetted the slave-deal- CTS in their evasions of the law.
 There are still several Chinese women and girls detained on the steamers, and their cases will receive the closest att tention from the bureau, and the Chin csc will find that there will not be such an easy time in the future as In the past The agitation which was car ried on several months ago had the ef- feet of stirring up the department in Washington to the necessity of doing something to put a stop to the illegal Immigration, and 1t is understood that evidence is being gathered by special agents which will result in the prosecu- tion of several who have committed perjury in connection with the cases which have been tried during the past year.
 Some of these cases were so fragrant that wonder was expressed at the time that the matter was not presented to the Federal Grand Jury, but 1t is ex- plained that the delay was for the pur- pose of getting such testimony as would insure conviction, not only of the most notorious, but also several promi- nent Chinese merchants who have in terested themselves in the matter and have sworn falsely regarding the na- tivity of the girls who were proved to have been born in China.
 The secret service of the Treasury Department has been at work on the cases for several months, and has so far completed it's investigations as to warrant it in making its report, which will be forwarded to Washington with in a week. What will then be done re- mains for the decision of the officials there. but it is openly surmised about the Federal building that some start

Oakland Office San Francisco Call.
 sos Broadway, Jan. Il.
 Thomas Nevus, a dental student of good reputation, and the son of a wealthy San Jose doctor, has been in a cell at the City Prison since last night on suspicion of being a pickpocket and of having attempted to steal a watch from a passenger on the ferry.
 There is no charge made against him yet, and he is on the small book. Those who have looked into the matter de- clare that one of those fearful blunders have been made that are not the fault of the police. and yet work great hard ship on the victim.
 Nevus is a student at the San Fran cisco Dental College, and during his studies he lives with his brother-in- law and sister, Assemblyman c. c. Dodge and wife of East Oakland. He Is a very industrious, steady young man with a record. so it is said. as straight 9s an arrow. ] ist night he came across the bay as usual and sat next to a passenger who had a gold watch. When crossing the apron there was a great rush and jam and the passenger mis cd his watch. It had fallen on the deck and was immediate ly picked up by Portuguese. who re- turned it to its owner. The man who found it also declared that he had seen NevuS snatch it from its owner. As all the parties were strangers to each other and the weight of evidence was against Nevus. Deputy Sheriff Kellner, who is employed by the railroad com pany, arrested the student and he was sent to the City Prison.
 The owner of the watch DrOceeded to Port Costa, and the police officials say that he will be down tomorrow to swear out a charge against Nevus.
 Assemblyman Dodge said tonight that he had inquired into the case and believes the charge to be perfectly groundless. He says young Nevus' father. who is well off. pays his sons expenses and supplies him with spend ing money, and it is an absurdity to suppose that the young man had at was charged by the Portuguese with stealing" said Mir. Dodge, "Nevus did not understand what it was all about and wanted to thrash the fellow for calling him a thief. but when he saw the officer he decided to let the matter take it's course"
 Detective Denny Holland said to- night that he believes the charge to be groundless. ''I am of the opinion" he said, that the button of somebody's coat caught the watch guard and yanked out the watch, breaking the guard at the same time. Such instances are very common in crowd

A COlOred Man With a Rock Who Is Chasing After
 Coin.
Three Attacks Have Been Made One of Them Proving Nearly
 Fatal.

The salaries of night ar-tenders will Without doubt soon be raised, as there is dark terror strolling around which makes it rather disagreeable for the dispensers of liquid refreshments dur ing the lonesome hours of the night.
 But a few days ago a colored man walked into the Palm saloon on Polk street, and after calling for a beer waited his chance to rob the estab- lishment. It was nearly closing-up time and the bartender had placed a small amount of coin on the bar after serving the called-for drink. As the colored man was drinking with the glass in his left hand the bartender stopped down and the man struck him crushing blow on the head with a large stone which he had held in his right hand. He then took the coin and departed The bartender nearly died from the effects of the blow.
 Last Wednesday night presumably the same man went into Clawson's sa- loon on Geary and Taylor streets and called for a glass of beer As the beer was being drawn, he threw a stone which when weighed tipped the scales at over a pound, with crushing force, just missing the head of his intended victim. The stone struck the marble on the bar and after breaking off the corner. jumped through a valuable glass window.
 As soon as the murderous negro had seen that he had missed his mark, he ran out of the saloon closely followed by the bar-keeper The case was re- ported to the police and a detective has been detailed on the case. Saturday night the same man, from descriptions given to the police, attempted to kill the night man in saloon on Third street.

Fred Yates Bound for tbe OrieDt -Success in SeIIjno Pjctures

Fred Yates sailed for the Orient on the steamship China few days since. He entertains the hope of getting an op- portunity to paint a portrait of the Mikado of Japan. He will tarry in Japan and China for some time and then continue his journey to London, going around the world from east to west. From a business and artistic point of view, MT. Yates long sojourn in San Francisco was very gratifying.
 While here he painted portraits of many leading citizens and obtained good prices for his work.
 Among the artists who have been very successful in selling pictures this season are Charles Rollo Peters, Chris Jorgensen and Charles Robinson. Jor- gensen leads the list with a sale of twelve paintings.
 Joseph D. Strong in the line of DOT trait work is kept busy. He has exhib- ited many examples of his work recent ly and has orders in advance to keep him busy for several months.
 The members of the San Francisco Art Association manifested so little en- thusiasm in the plan to give a Mardi Gras ball this year that the scheme has been abandoned.

TOURNAMENT FOR
 WHIST PLAYERS
Fourth Annual Convention of the Pacific Coast Asso-
 citation.
The Chief Interest Will Be Centered in the RideOut Trophy
 Contest.

A matter of considerable moment to whist devCtees throughout the country will be the fourth annual convention of the Pacific Coast Whist Association, which will be held next Friday and Sat- urday in the rooms of the San Fran cisco Whist Club, 326 Post street. The association was organized in this city in 1894, under the patronage of the American Whist League, a national in- stitutiOn, which has no less than four teen associations under it's guidance. The convention will be entirely in the interest of duplicate" whist, the play ing of which has rapidly spread among all lovers of that scientific game.
 The convention will be divided into two parts. The first will be the meet
 ing of the delegates to transact neces- sary business and the election of off, cers to serve for the ensuing year. The committee on nominations will be ap- pointed by President P. J. Tormey at Fridays meeting. and the balloting will take place on Saturday morning. A cordial invitation Is extended to all whist players, attached or unattached. to be present at the above meetings.
 The second, and by no means the least important part of the programme. contemplates five general contests which will be decided in the rooms of the Trist Duplicate Whist Club. I'll Jones street, on Friday and Saturday. The contests are: First, the Rideout trophy contest between teams of four representing association clubs; second, the progressive match fer pairs; third. progressive match for fours; fourth. a match for club pairs; fifth. progressive straight whist. The Rideout trophy contest is the principal event and one which has always engendered a great deal of friendly rivalry. This trophy, presented for competition by N. D. Rideout of Marysville. is a solid silver cup, suitably inscribed and aside from us intrinsic value, its possession is something to be proud of, as 1t is en- pIemauc of victories won in hard 1ought whist battles It is now held by the San Francisco Club. which wrested IL rom the Trist Club at last years tournament. Prizes will also ba award eG to the winners in every match.
 The competing clubs are. The Sacra
 mento Whist Club. whose tear7 tc can talned by George NJ Mott: the Vallejo whist Club team, Captain F. I. Wal ters; the Santa Rosa Club team Can tain A. l.. Harris; the Petaluna Club team, Captain John l.. Camm: the Lin da Vista Club of Oakland. R. E. Cal Icy captain; the Tamalpais Club Of San Rafael. James Thompson captain: a team from the Trist Club, captained by John c. Sutton; the San Francisco 6lup team, explained by George E. bates; the Eschscholtzia Club team of ,adles. captained by Miss Sadie Jen- kins, No doubt the fourth annual con Ventlon or the Pacific Coast Whist As
 soclauon will surpass all former ones Tn magnitude. and do much to nonu- larlze that most fascinating game.
