The majority of exhibits will be breeding to show the progress of the poultry ness in California over last year, there having been only about 1600 at the last ex- hibition. The food exhibit, such as broil- , roasters and spring friers, will not be en the attention that breeders will re- ceive, as it is the desire of the association to perfect the size of the fowls before mar- ket patronage is looked to. ‘‘Heretofore,” said” Charles R. Harker, editor of the Fanciers’ Monthly, “too much attention has been given to eggs, and the result has been that the fowls are good | layers and beyond that are not good for | ing purposes.

Signed by Ministers and Other Repre- sentatives of San Francisco and Oakland. A petition calling the attention of the Anti-saloon Convention to the National Amendment Club plan was sent to that body from this City yesterday. It was bandsomely engrossed, framed in the National colors and signed by 107 well- known citizens of San Francisco, Santa Cruz,0akland, Berkeley and Napa. Thomas S. Harrison, secretary of the country branch of the Prohibition party, took com- mendable pride in the patriotic appear- ance of the document. *‘1t is California’s delegate to the convention,” he said. The convention will meet at Washington on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next and the California document will re- | ceive attention early in the session. Among the petitioners are: W. W. Case, Robert Thompson, _Farrand, C.A. Maydwell, . W.Colver, E.B.Root, " A. Doane, John Kimball, W, Stephens, D, T. Nershon, Rev. John Coyle, Dr. H. C. French, Fev. 30D, Hammond, H.J.MeCoy, Rev. R, T.

The reputable horsemen in this City— attending the races of the Pacific Coast Jockey Club on the Ingleside track—are becoming very much disgusted with the prospective outlook. Many of them have | brought stables of thoroughbreds thou- | sands of miles to race during this winter | at a cost of a small fortune, and they are in dread now that, through the pettifoging thereby of a lot of crooked race-jobbers, they may have to withdraw their entries and stable their horses for the season. At no time in the history of racing on this coast have affairs assumed such a black aspect, and if the police especially do not come to the rescue of the better element the thugs will kill one of the great- est industries of the State. Here is how theland lies on this particu- lar subject: A few men of energy and wealth wvesied nearly balf a million dollars in building the Ingleside track. They of- fered purses sufficiently attractive to geta score of Eastern owners to send their best horses to thecoast. 1In all 152 thorough- | breds came, accompanied by a retinue of attendants numbering one-third that figure. Nearly 1000 people have been, and many are still employed in and a2bout the track. The hotels of the City have been crowded with visitors day after day here to see the best horsesin the country in | competition. The feed-growers have been | made bappy, and the breeders of the State have had their hope realized that the big Eastern horse-owners might come here and see from personal observation that the stock of California farms is fully a season ahead of that of the Hast at the same age. Well, all this is threatened with an un- | timely ead, which means the loss of mil- lions of dollars to_the State. | Fortunately the Wagner ordinance, which is the ax to do all this harm, has been postponed for a couple of weeksin its consideration by the Board of Super- But after all it is only a dels which means but little except a prolon, | tion of life, unless such steps are immedi- | ately taken to remove the causes that have led up to the framing of the ordinance. The Wagner ordinance wiil necessitate | the stoppage of all pool-selling on races within the City and County, whether in town or within the racinginclosure. Should the ordinance go through it will | be buta short time before similar ordi- | nances will be enforced in most of the | counties of this State, and that must ne- | cessarily be the death of racing in Califor- | nia, as there is no track on earth that | can afford to put up purses attractive enough for foreign entries unless an in- | come can be derived from the poolbox | privilege. H The framers of the Wagner ordinance | have brought it forward in sheer despera- | tion and with a view to stopping the dis- | graceful scenes occurring daily in the City | where the so-called “‘commission brokers” | are plying a trade that justly entitles them | to the harsh measures of the police. Some years ago, when ex-Mayor Ellert | was a Supervisor, he framed an ordinance | which accomplished the desired object. It | closed up the gambling helis on Leides- | | < horse races, and restricted pool-selling to the racetrack proper, where, under the right- kind of supervision, responsible bookmakers only were allowed to gratify the desires of racetrack patrons. Within the last few months, however, when turf matters became more lively through the elevating hands of the biggest and best /stable-owners in the country, all the riff- | raff of the State, men who were barred out | of running crap games. faro banks and | kindred unlawful pursuits, stepped into | the field of speculation. The Paciiic Coast Jockey Club would not permft them to establish books at the Ingleside track, so they opened their shops downtown, calling themselves ‘‘commission brokers.” They claim that as such they may ply their “trade, declaring that they do not take wagers, but accept the money from the public and place it as desired in the regular books at the racetrack, withhold- ing their commission. This paltry excuse seems to have pro- tected these vampires on the public up to date, and their doings have been such that women and children have been debauched into all manner of wrongdoing to get money to throw into the laps of these beings. . This is no exaggeration. One needs but | to take a trip into the building at 906 Mar- ket street, where most of tbe poolrooms— some of the worst, by the way—are open from early morning until night. Right around the corner, at 11 Ellis street, where the “Crescendo Club” holds its sway, a man named Baumann is the leading light. With less compunction than his Market- street neighbors, who will not accept the money of lads under 15 years of age, Bau- mann takes the wagers of anybody. Some days ago when THE CALL pub- lished the fact, the “Crescendo Club” stopped the women from coming around the place. But these misguided creatures hang around and loiter in the back rooms of neighboring saloons, where a perfect string of messenger boys, in uniform, too, run in and out keeping them posted on the odds, and taking their coin to place it with pool-sellers. There were a hali dozen lads in messen- ger uniforms there yesterday betting their own money as well as that of the women. These boys, imbued with im- portance by virtue of their ability to go in and wager their money like big men, had a coterie of little fellow admirersaround them and they were all talking “horsey” stuff with a liberal aspersion of profanity. At 906 Market street the narrow hall- ways and roowms were crowded all day to suffocation. All classes of people were represented, but everywhere could be seen smocth-faced boys, red-eyed and dissi- pated, exchanging their few dollars for the pool-tickets of the sharpers. In this house is the shop of Lawrence & Skiliman. Yesterday morning these peo- ple refused to pay their players money | that had been placed with them the day before on a tace which did not take place, or at least was declared off. Pistols were drawn and bloodshed was averted only by | the speedy arrival of some police officers, who cleared the place. No arrests were | made, however, and in a little while busi- | | ness was resumed as usual. Lawrence, one of the proprietors of this place, is a man who conducted a faro- bank in this City for years until those | places were closed some time ago. Next door are the rooms of Ayers & Co., of Fleming & Co., of Messinger & Co. and of Jackman & Co. All these places are | overcrowded deadfalls, run in open viola- tion of the law. They claim that they | wake up the odds offered at the race- | track. This is true in the daytime, butat night they make their own odds and sell pools, nence they cannot claim they receive moncy to be placed at the track, as they cannot possibly surmise what those odds will be the next day. Again, they accept money from the public up to the time the horses au the track are at the post and ready to start. They bave uo possible means of ecommunication with the book- makers miles away to place the money they receive, and the bookmakers over there hold themselves in no way responsi- ble for the wagers made downtown. The claim that a ccmmission business is done is palpably false. -The class of people who attend those places is the worst in the community, ana the’ficn who rtin the | that they dorft street, where bets could be made on | games represent an element which has been already driven from one unlawful avocation to take up another. To prevent all this nefarious work, the Wagner ordinance was framed. This measure, however, is too sweeping, and while doing good in one way must neces- sarily do great injury to the State in others. The Ellert ordinance still holds good, and may be easily enforced. Let the police clear these bucket-shops out, and arrest those people who insist on violating the law. In a day or two there will be no necessity for the Wagner ordinance. CARPENTERS AND JOINERS E. R. Johnson Selected as the Walking Delegate Last Evening. Annual Election of Officers in Unions 483 and 304—Jelge’s New House. The election of walking delegate for the carpenters and joiners of this City was held last evening, and resulted in the se- lection of E. R.Johnson, who holds the position at the present time. This elec- tion has caused more union politics than any other event for years past. In the first place, there is §4 a day salary in the position, and the walking, or business agent, as he is called, is never obliged to get out and hustle for a job. Again, the term of office is six months, and the aP- proach of winter made it more than usually desirable. ; Several days ago the district council called for a mass-meeting of all the union carpenters in the City, and last evenin, the Teraple, on Turk street, was filled. There were at least ten candidates in the field, but union politics are similar to other politics, and “before the first ballot was cast half a dozen were ‘‘pulled down,’’ leaving E. R. Johnson, T. Mahoney, L. P. Smith and C. F. Schadt. The vote re- sulted as stated. The annual election of officers of Car- enters’ and Joiners’ Union No. 483 was held Monday evening and the following were elected : President, Fred Qualman; vice-president, E. H. Do rding secretary, W. T. Bart- trune; financial secretary, Guy Lathrop; con- duetor, C. Griffith; warden, William Campbell; trustee (long term), H. W. Scott; auditors—C. Griffith, James Cowsill, F. Conw-f'; dele- gates to the district council—R. B. Ingle, E. H. Doyle, A. Babeock, C. F. Schadt, J. F. Con- way and C. Griffith. The annual election of officers of Car- penters’ and Joiners’ Union No. 304 was held Monday evening at 1159 Mission street, and the following were chosen: President, Adolph Henning; vice-president, Gus Muller; recording secretary, Amos Dan- nelfelzer; financial secretary, John Bauer; treasurer, George Felix; conductor, W. Printz; warden, Joseph Krajewsky; trustees—W, Jur- gens, Charies Goldpeck and John Felix; dele- gates to the District Council—A. Volkswinckler and G. Muller. A pleasing report was made, which was received with a hearty applause. The present financial secretary, William Jelge, undertook to build a little house for him- self on Bernal Heights. He was putting in odd hours in the construction of his fu- ture home, but. at best the progress was slow. On Sunday morning he was much surprised at the appearance of a number of his fellow union workmen in their every- day clothes and carrping their kits of tools. In a short time a dozen men were on the ground, and at a given signal they all pulled off their coats and went to work, sides, ends, rafters and roof went up like magic, and before the sun went down Jelge enjoyed the pleasure of standing in his own com- leted house. With a cheer his friends bade him good evening and with a feeling had put in an enjoyabla day's work. It would bave taken a month or more for Jelge to have put up the house by himself. ~ GOOD MONEY GONE EAST, About $5,000,000 of Government Gold That Is No Longer Here. DEPOSITS MUST BE WEIGHED. New Instructions to Treasurer Berry as to What to Do With Light. weight Coin. By some means $5,000,000 or more has left San Francisco for the East during the past year without the general public know- ing anything about it. It can be figured out like this in round numbers: When Mr. Berry assumed the office of Assistant United States Treasurer in the Sub-Treasury on Commercial street there was a little over $37,000,000 in the vaults. When President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle negotiated the last big bond deal Manager Sigmund Greenebaum of the London, Paris and America Bank, and other representatives of the bond syn- dicate,went to the Sub-Treasury with boxes and sacks full of bright twenties and added about $6,000,000 to the stock of coin on hand as a matter of accommodation to the Treas- ury Department. The total flow of money into the Commercial-street institution for the fiscal year ending July was about $43,- 000,000. This foots up a total of $36,000,000. During the same fiscal year there went out from the Sub-Treasury for disbursing purposes $38,000,000 and there is now in the vaults $41,000,000. Adding the two to- gether makes $79,000,000. About $2,060,000 was loaned to the United States Mint on Fifth street, which increases the credit ac- count to $81,000,000. 1t was admitted yesterday that about ,000,000 had been sent East altogether, ut the information was added that the Government was not doing any shipping just now. The income and outgo of the Sub-Treasury generally balance from month to month. Mr. Berry has just received instructions from Treasurer Morgan which will be of considerable interest to depositors of goid. Some time ago he was instructed to reject, besides stamping ‘light,” all gold coins resented which were found to be below the “least current weight,’’ the “least cur- rent weight”’ being gold that was one-half of 1 per cent light. ~ The standard weight of gold coin 1s twenty-five and eight-tenths grains, troy, to the dollar, viz.: 129 grains for $5; 258 rains for $10; and 516 grains for $20. It ias been the custom to allow as a limit of tolerance a lightness of one-half grain on twenties and tens, and one-fourth grain on fives. When a_twenty is two and a hail grains light it is regarded as of *‘least cur- rent weight.” The new instruction are so far favorable to possessors of light-weight coin as to al- low them to make an exchange, at the Sub- Treasury, because, under the old instruc- tions, the light-weight coins all had to go to the mint. Under the new instructions, gold that is below the ‘least current weight”” wiil be allowed the value of the coin minus the deduction on deposit. They read as follows: g Department instructions of July 9 and August 23, 1886, requiring you to reject and place a distinguishing mark on all coins pre- sented to your office jor deposit which are found to be below the least current weight, are hereby so modified as to instruct you, when requested, 1o accept all such coins at valuation in proportion to their actual weight, such val- uation to be determined by deducting from nominal value 4 cents for each grain, troy, found below the standard weight of each piece, All light-weight pieces thus received by you to be held in the cash of your office, separate from full-weight coins, nng each bag of such coins to be plainly marked with the amount of the face and actual value of contents. Ii the depositor should prefer to have the Ppieces that are found to be below the least Current weight returned to him, you will, be- fore returning them, smmy each piece with the distinguishing mark referred to in depart- ment letter of July 9, 1886. A telegram from Treasurer Morgan tells Mr. Berry to receive coins above least current weight at their face value. All those below are to be stamped “light” as before. No instructions have been re- ceived as to the shipment of currency. Mr. Berry says it is hardly probable that the Government will authorize the ship- ment of currency, as if it did,a banker could deposit his gold here in the Sub- Treasury, have currency placed to his credit and then have the currency so accredited shipped to his Eastern correspondent by the Government, and thus save his Eastern exchange. The Government has no contract with any express com[r)lany here_for the ship- ment of money other than silver, which is with Wells, Fargo & Co. Shipments to Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho and Montana are to be made from Chicago and St. Louis. As the United States Express Company of Kansas City is the only ex- press company with which it has a stand- ing contract and as that is east of the Rocky Mountains, it is not likely that any shipments will be made from here at all. The Pacific Coast States and Nevada and Arizona are the only ones supplied from San Francisco. LOSSES BY THE FIRE. Estimages Given by Captain Comstock of the Fire Patrol. The following statement of estimated losses of the Saturday night fire at Bush and Battery streets has been prepared by Captain Comstock of the Fire Patrol: Hoffman, Alexander & Co, $125,000; Fried- man & Rogers, §30,000; New York and San Francisco Shirt and Collaer Company, $40.000: ‘Thomas Corbett, $300; Paulsen & Wells, $1! Stocker & Holderer, $150; Clarke estate (on building), $10,000; C. L. Haskell, §1000; C. Hayward (on building 10 Bush_street), $500; Levi Strauss, slight. Total, $207,500. Captain Comstock and his men did good salvage work in Haskell's harness estab- lishment, and saved at least $20,000 worth of stock by getting the tarpaulins over the goods in time. The quick work, too, done in pumping the water out of the basement of the Clarke estate’s building saved Levi Strauss & Co. from a lot of damage by water. The insurance carried by Hoffman, Alex- ander & Co., on their stock of clothing amounted to $131,000. Bookkeeper Theo- aore A. Fieel has stated to Fire Marshal Towe that he leit the building shortly be- fore the fire occurred. The cause of the fire is a mystery. It was a big loss to the insurance companies. The insurance amounted to over $200,000. Hoffman, Alexander & Co’s insurance was placed as follows: London ana Lancashire, $18,000; Manches- ter, $12,750; Scottish Union and National, $10,000; Pheenix of London, $10,001 National of Hartford, $8000; Caledonian, $6250; Ha burg-Bremen, $5000; Westchester, $5000; Co tinental, !

The insurance carried by Friedman & Rogers amounted to $18,000, placed as fol- lows: Home, New York, $5500; Pheenix, Connecticut, $5500; Royal change, $5000; London and Lancashire, §3000. The New York and San Francisco Shirt and Collar Company had insurance amounting to $33,500, placed as follows: Aachen and Munich $10,000, New Zealand $5000, Etna $3000, Royal $3000. Palatine $3000, Westchester $2500, Lancashire $2500, Imperial $2000. The insurance among the smaller losers was_about $3000, placed with several com- panies. The buildings were insured for about $15,000. : A meeting was held by the underwriters about 11 A. M. and 2 committee of five was appointed to adjust losses. NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS.
