Much routine business was transacted
at the meeting of the board of trustees
Of the Mechanics Institute last night.
The privilege of publishing the daily pa
per at the Mechanics Pavilion during the
Fair was awarded 10 Julius Blumenthal
for $50, and it was also decided to con-
tinue the publishing of the Library Bull
letin and the contract for the same was

est of several bidders. The board donated
300 volumes to be sent TO the soldiers at
Manila, 100 to the Lick Old Ladies Home
and 100 to the college settlement at South
Park.
A letter was read from Assistant Secre-
tary Of War Meiklejonn stating that the
quartermaster general had sanctioned
the request made for the transportation
o. 100 tons of freight and 100 natives from
the Philippines for exhibition at the fair.
The freight and natives will be brought
over on one of the transports. the latter
a the expense of the Mechanics Insti-
tute. Secretary Cummings read a number
of letters relative to the exhibits TO be
made at the fair, which showed that there
will be excellent ones, both from the Phil
irpines and Honolulu. Everything is pro-
crossing nicely and the outlook for the
exhibition is exceedingly bright.

CARS, or rather as an attempted smuggler,
for almost every time she arrives from
Mexico the customs inspectors find on
board from 800 to several thousand cigars
secreted about the vessel for the purpose
of being struggled ashore. On most of
these occasions the contraband goods
have been found slowed away in the
the steerage steward whose name was
not given, was detected in the act. He
left tho steamer at the Broadway dock
watched by Customs Inspector Stephens,
who asked him what was in the valise.
The steward made no reply, but dropped
the valise as though it, were so much
dynamite and scampered away as fast
as his legs would carry him. He had not
been seen again up to the time The Cali
went to press this morning. The valise
was found to contain 800 Mexican cigars.
They were conf1scated.
