Mr. Collins said that he would like to £nOw what had been the export for 1593-94. J. P. Currier replied that the import n and sale in this country of Japan had fallen off, he had been info: largely owing to the demand for sti for the big sleeves that are now the iashion, and the Japanese made only soft silk. Mr. Craig remarked that the price of a good quality of silk in Jay cents a yard, and that to compete against this there could be only one possible solu- tion, and that was a ts high enough to enable American workmen to live as they had been used to living and compete with the cheap labor of Jz Professor George Da suggest that the comn D. fmnn, who b Vice-Consul for . who is familiar wit the committee, to professor was asked to had seen whil had a ver n called in to loy Horace years been E is port, and he questions before statistics.

Freights from Japan to New York have in the last year reached the lowest known ebb, | Tanging a5 low as 40 shillings per ton meesure- { ment. Tt will at once be seen that rates and facilities for transportation between this coun- try and Japen are consistent and adequate for the hendling of any volume of trade, be it | great or little. |~ Again, scrutinizing the articles under con- sideration, it is found that the tariff of the | United States provides a duty upon the same | ranging from 20 to 40 per cent, that duty being | the same as levied upon the same articles | whether originating in Japsn or any other | foreign country. On the other hand, large quantities of the articies unaer consideration are now being | imported from other countries than Japan, the | imports from Japan by comparison being but & | drop in the bucket. A | It does not scem reasonable nor is it logical reasoning to supposc that Japan has thus, meteor-like, sprung into the iront rank of menufacturing at one bound. England, the greatest exporter of manufac- | tures in the world, has reached supremacy | | through a thousand years of experience and | aggressive policy, and it would appear to this | committee, therefore, that we are anticipating | the course of events' by many vears in believ- | | ing Japan capable, that is, able to compete | with us for many years to come. | We read in the daily papers of & proposed | meeting of manufacturers to be held in Chi- }.-ngo shortly, at which it is expected 5000 | representatives will be present from all parts of the United States, and it is advanced asa ignod idea that they organize for the purpose, | among other things, of pushing the sale of our | manufactures in South America, Japen, China and other countries. The balance of trade to-day with the United States is in favor of Japan. This is entirely irom the fact of our heavy imports of tea and raw silk. Yet with increasing consumption of | ourcotion in Japan and prospects of sale of nofactured goods in that country it is thout the bounds of possibility to yet 1e balance on the other side. With all acts in view your committee is of the on, and would take the liberty of ex- ng the same, that any drawback or un- move which would antagonize our best ts in Japan taken at this time should be ; snd further, that it is the sense of | committee that our representatives in Con- gress should be pressed to endeavor to have a commission appointed by our Government to apen and properly report in detail upon ources of that country to compete with home menufactures and in our Own mar- ORDER OF B'NAI B'RITH, The Annual Session of the Grand Lodge to Be Held on Sunday.

The committee after some discussion ac- present each member contributes $2 50 monthly toafund used for the benefit of | members, or, more properly, for the rela- | tirely by the order. We call especial atgention | to the following: The Home for Aged and Infirm at Yonkers, N.Y.,in which seventy old men and women find & comiortable sheiter in their declining years; the Mamonides Free Library in New York, whose 50,000 volumes of selected litera- ture dre open to the general public; the orphan | asylum_at Cleveland, Ohio, and that st At- lante, Ga., the two sheltering over 700 desti- tute children, educating and training them to usefulness and good citizenship, and entirely controlled by the order, while the orphan asy- ium and the Touro Shelter at New Orleans are to a great extent supported by our brethren; The B’nai B'rith library at San Francisco, with its thousands of volumes dedicated to public instruction, and_ recognized 8s the reference library of the public schools; a free school for religious instruction is maintained by the or- der in 8an Francisco with beneficial effect; the Hebrew Technical School ot Philadelphia. pro- vides manual training in the mechanical arts to & large number of deserving pupils. Besides these nearly every lodge is a center of educational and benevolent activity. Lec- ture courses have been established, evening schools for children and aduits have been called into existence and libraries are open to the seekers after knowledge. In doing this it has offended no man’s feelings, but has united the orthodox and the radieal, the reformer and the conservative, upon one platform, and has adopted a motto to which all can subscribe, | “The Solidarity of Israel and Its Greatest | Good.” WERE: MARRIED AT SEA | Strange Predicament in Which a Santa Cruz Couple Was Placed. The Bride Arrived on Time, but Two Months’ Residence Was Necessary. The story of one of the most romantic marriages ever performed on the high seas was brought to San Francisco by the Pacific Mail Company’s steamer City of | Sydney yesterday. Tt was a question of the bride remaining | in Guatemala for two months before the ceremony could take place, or else going to sea and having the ceremony per- formed. She chose the latter alternative, | and Captain Frank H. Jobnston tied the | knot. | When the City of Sydney left San Fran- | cisco two months ago, Miss Edna Miller of | Santa Cruz was one of the cabin passen- | gers. At Champerico she was to have met ! her betrothed, Harry Berge, and according to prearrangements they were to be mar- ried as soon as the steamer arrived.

THE LYMPH IUECTON Patient James Willey’s Record in the City and County ! Hospital. He Swore Violently—Dr. Joseph O. Hirschfelder’s Statement of the Case. Concerning the lymph treatment for consumption at the City and County Hos- pital and the remarkable statement of the | patient, James Willey, published in yes- | terday’s Carr, Dr. Joseph O. Hirschfelder last evening reluctantly gave the following | statement for publication: “The statements of the patient, James DR. JOSEPH 0. HIRSCHFELDER. tween Japan and the United States would re- port as follow: The empire of Japan comprises & chain of islands_extending northerly and southerly and to the eastward of the eastern shores of China and a portion of Russis, and divided therefrom by the Japan Sea, the éastern shores of the island being washed by tie Pacific Ocean. The empire includes within it with & population approximating 40,000,000 souls. The current treaty between that country and the United States opens to commerce of our country the ports of Kobe, Hakodate, Yoko- hama, Nagasaki and Nigata. For the purpose of this report we will deal with Yokohama, as itisen index to the whole. From San Fran- cisco Yokohama is distant, ordinary steam route, 4536 miles; steam by way of Honolulu 5390, and by sailing route 5600. From New York the distauce ?l: Via Good Hope, sail, 15,217 miles; via Suez canal, steam, 13,04( Between Liverpool and Yokohama via Good Hope 14,505 miles, and via Suez canal 10,900 miles, The facilities for transportation of freight between Japan and the United States are equal | to the facilities afforded to all great ports of the world at the present day. & “Iraffic between Atlantic ports of the United States and Japan is carried either in sailing vessels or in tramp steamers. The number of vessels lable for the trade is ilimitable, and as far as that goes the facilities will keep Ppace with the demands. - Between the Pacific Coast and Japan there is at present five lines of steamships plying from the following ports: San Francisco two and one each from Portland, Tacome and Victoria. The facilities to and from the portof San Fran- cisco not be said at present to equal the de- mands, since again and sgain i3 cArgo left on the dock at this port because of lack of space in outgoing steamers. This, however, in con- nection with the subject at issue is a trivial point. Sail charters can be secured for the voyage from Japan to San Francisco at $2 50 Jer ton weight or measurement st ship’s op- ion. The articles to which the attention of this committes has been specially directed. namely, cotton goods, manufactured silks, rope, jute, carpets, bags, iron, products of iron machinery, buttons, watches, matches, bicycles and rubber limits 155,- | 552 square miles of territory, and is credited | Willey, are entirely untrue. He came into the hospital in a very low condition. injections were given to him as a last re- sort. According to his own statement, | made during the time of the treatment, he improved decidedly. *The lymph used at that time in the | early stages of the investigation caused a little pain locally. On this account he | desired to discontinue the treatment, | although, according to the records of the | ward, he had decidedly improved, feeling better, coughing less and looking decidedly better. He received no further treatment, | according to the new 1aethod, after No- | vember 9. He remained in the ward until | January 13, and then left on account of a dispute with the female nurse of the ward, in which dispute he swore so violently | that the nurse was compelled to report { him to th terne on duty. *‘The 1 mf'h that is used now causes no | pain, and all of the patients who are treated with it are enthusiastic in its praise, their cough diminishing, their weight increas- | ing, the bacilli of tuberculosis diminishing | with all, and with some disappearin | entirely. One patient has gained as mucg as fifteen pounds in four weeks, *‘I feel very sorry to be obliged to make any statement whatsoever, as a sufficient time has not yet elapsed to enable one to speak vositively.”’ Dr. Fitzgibbons of the Board of Health said the treatment at the hospital was under the direction of capable. physicians. The iuternes, or the young physicians, who had just graduated from college, made daily reports to their superiors of the con- dition o?t;ntients. Shouid it come to the knowledge of the Board of Health that a system of treatment threatening the lives of patients was followed, the Board of Health would have power to change the course. The | i tificate for the benefit of his family | | There are a numbe: of members of the | | orzanization who think that the monthly | | tween the s | port and her arrival at Champerico, Berge { appled for a license, and was dumfounded | when he was told that he could no be mar- | ried under the laws of Guatemala until M Miller had Jived two months in the country. This was a setback, and when the bride arrived she refused to be com- sessment should be increased from |fofed o $250to $5. Against this proposition are | stepped m and made the young couple arrayed a great numbsr of members | happy again. He knew Harry Berge be- who have contributed to the fund for more | fore he left S an Francisco, and~ was ready than a quarter of a century, and who think | | that at this late day it would be an 1mpo- sition to, make them pay an advanced | assessment. They are willing that all members who join after a stated date shall pay $5. but they claim that those who | were members prior to that date should be allowed to pay as they have in the past, | | Another matter will be the continuing | | of the school organized under the auspices of the order, the one in which the pupils receive religious training and in which | they are instructed in the Hebrew lan- | guage. For some time past the school has | driited from its original purpose, which | was to give instruction to the children of | members exclusively. The expense of | maintaining the school is borne by the lodge, but children whose parents do not | belong to the order and who are not mem- bers of any of local Hebrew congrega- | tions, h: g s ht unsuccessfully to | gain admission to the schools connected | with the congregatiors, were advised to try the B'nai B’rith School, and in a num- ber of instances were received as pupils. Some members of the order want the | school conducted on its original lines or abolished, while others wish it continued 80 as to admit all who need instructions, A proposition to erect a new hall on the order’s property on Van Ness avenue so as to have a suitable place in which to hold the session of the Constitution Giand | Lodge, the superior body of the order,i soon to meet in this City, will also| come up. | The Order of B'nai B’rith was founded | in New York y in 1842 by Henry J The first lodge on this coast, Ophir A was organized op the 13th of August, 1855. There are now thirty-five lodges in the | Pacific Coast_jurisdiction, which includes California, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Utah and Montana. Reports from all sec- tions show that the order is in a prosper- ous condition and that it has over $200,000 to the credit of the beneficiary fund. In this City the order has a fine library free, | for members, with nearly 20,000 volumes on its shelves. The executive committee of the Consti- tution Grand Lodge, in a pamvphlet recently issued, gives the following brief review of the work accomplished in the fifty-two years of its existence: You are aware that the founders of the order of B'nai B'rith,in endeavoring to unite the Israelites for & common purpose, had & twofold object in view—the charitable and benevolent and the educational and ideal. To accomplish these objecis they conceived the idea of an order composed of lodges with a ritual which should nvi:el.l to the imagination of those for Whose use it was composed 8s the best means of bringing into harmonious union the Israelites of this country, who, by reason of diversity of nationality, éducation” and re- ligions views and observances, were really ns widely serarnled as though no common tie of unity existed among them. To bring these differing elements together, 10 teach them to forget their peculiarities and prejudices, to | recognize the good in each, to respect the sin- cere opinions of ll, while preserving individ- ual independence of thought and action, to inculeate respect for lumorllygnd law and to recognize that only by the harmonious co- operation of all can the rights of each be estab- lished and maintained, was the first task im- osed upon the lodges, and it has been success- Pihly aceomplished. About twelve years 8go the order took steps to enlarge its sphere of activity, and a lodge was instituted in Berlin, Germany. From this small beginning great results have been achieved. Roumania, the scene of the labors of our lamented Brother Peixotto, is the battle- ground of a devoted band of hrothers, Perse- cuted and oppressed asthe Israelitesarein tnat land, they 1ook to the order for encouragement | and support in the crestion and maintenance of &chools and educational institutions. In the Orient have sown our seed, and are reaping a gratifying harv In the Holy Land and in gy t, in Syria and Turkey we have established Iodges. ‘Our schools for both general and technical education, hospitals ana libraries are admitted to be doing good and noble work in dispelling ignorance and spread- ing abroad the light of civilization. Austria, too, has felt the e%uickenin‘ reys of our sun and has welcomed the order B'nai Brith; ten lodges, with a membership of the very best of our people, are striving to ex- emplify its principles. A number of educational and charitable in- titutions are supported and maintained en- to do all in his power to help him. The young man is an electrician and went to Guatemala under engagement to the Gov- ernment. ‘He is stationed at Quezalten- ango, sixty miles from the seacoast, and hus full control of the electric plant estab- shed there. When he explained the pre- dicament Johnston said, ‘*What’s the mat- ter with getting married at sea? Nine mules off shore I can perform the ceremony, and it will be just as binding as though you were married in church and had the necessary license. Two months from now you can be married again if you want to, but it will only be adding the sanction of the church to a legal ceremony.” Berge and Miss Miller jumped at the opportunity and a few hours later the City of Sydney was under way and A. M. Blackman and a host of others were soon hard at work decorating the ship and get- ting the hurricane deck and saloorn ready for the ceremony. The cooks were put to work and by the time the Sydney was nine miles off shore a sumptuous repast was ready. ‘When Captain Johnston after a careful examination announced that the ship was more than three marine leagues from shore the bride and groomi were notified. Everybody assembled on the hurricane deck and under a beautiful marriage bell made of tropical flowers procured at Champerico the ceremony was performed. The bride had her wedding gown with her, and Captain Johnston says it wasa magnificent rove of white silk. "The usual veil and orange blossoms accompanied the costume. Louis Hirsch of Castle Bros., who had been reported as dying of yellow fever, was well enough to givethe bride away. Miss May Taber was bridesmaid, and Lieutenant Ferris, U. 8. A., best man. In spite of the strange surroundings the ceremony was a most impressive one, and it was only after Captain Johnston had kissed the bride and addressed her as Mrs. Berge that the spell was broken. Then the congratulations poured in from the passengers, and it was some time before an adjournment was taken to the cabin. '}‘he City of Sydney was kept at sea for a few hours Ionfiar and then returned to Champerico. r. and Mrs. Berge were given three cheers as they stepped off the gangIannk, and the steamer headed for San Francisco. The remainder of the voyage was an un- eventful one, and the steamer brings no later news than came up onthe City of Everett. MRS. JOY’S LANDING. Permission to Put It in Piace Grantea by the Board of Super- visors. The Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors decided yesterday to permit Mrs. Charles F. Joy, wife of Congressman Joy of Missouri, to put in place the safety landing, which she asked permission to locate at Powell and Market streets some time ago. The landing is designed for the useof ladies and children alighting from the Market-street car and consists of a sohd slab of granite, fifteen feet long, three feet wide and ten inches thick. It will be placed between the tracks and will remain at the pleasure of the board. At each corner a post will be sunk in the stone and an electric light will shine from a mast in the center. The landing was designed by Mrs. Joy's late husband, Dr. Washington Ryer, and she is carrying out his wishes in having it put in place. 014 People Entertained, On Tuesday evening John T. Runyon of Lon- don entertained the boarders at the Old People’s Home by reading several seiections from the best authors, varying from the pathetic to the light and humorous. The music wes furnished by the Misses Weir of the Western Addition. Itisexpected thata course of Jectures and pleasant entertainments will be given at the home during the winter months. A VICTORY FOR HIGEINS, The Demurrer to Gesford’s Com- plaint Has Been Sus- tained. THE COMPLAINT IS DEFECTIVE. It Was Not Specific in Its Allegations of Malfeasance and Must Be Amended. Judge S8anderson has sustained the de- murrer of M. R. Higgins, the Insurance Commissioner, to the suit of Henry C. Ges- ford and the people of the State to oust | him from that position. -Gesford was ap- | vointed to the office by Governor Budd on | the theory that Higgins has never really qualified for the office, and furtheér that h | had been guilty of such conduct as would | warrant his removal. | The complaint avers that when Higgins was appointed by Governor Markham in 1893 he took the usual oath of office, but he failed to give the proper bond. He should hayve given a bond for $10,000, with two sureties, each qualifying for the full NEW TO-DAY. OALY 3 BLOCKS FROM THE Cory HAalL A RARE. .~ OPPORTUNITY. 70 SECURE CHOICE//, BUSINESS RESIDENCE, PROPERTY amount. Instead he gave abond for that sum with sureties qualifying each to the | amount of one-half the sum of the bond. To this contention, however, the court an- | swers that as Governor Markham had ac- | cepted the bond the State had no power to call the bond in question. If the Governor, | saysthe court, or any other official charged | h the approval or rejection of an of- | ficial bond, by oversight ‘or inadvertence, approves # bond imperfect in its character then there is not only reason butauthority to either hold the Stute estopped from | challenging the bond or, if not, then to | zive the official whose imperfect bond has een so approved notice that the same is not satisfactory, and to allow and requi him to present a proper bond in_lieu thereof. The giving of an imperfect bond is a aifferent matter from giving no bond at all, particularly when such bond has | been approved by the proper authority. Continuing, the court said of the second count, that of misdemeanor for having ac- | cepted a railroad pass: | Assuming the second count to have been well pleaded the action is, then, one to obtain & judgment tnat the defendant unlawfully holds the office by reason of his acceptance and use of this free pass, w is & misde- meanor or malfeasance in office, being & direct | violation of Iaw on the part of defendant asa | public State officer. The demurrer must there- fore be sustained to that portion of the com- | plaint which relies on the insufficiency of the ond, In discussing that part of the complaint relating to the acceptance of the pass the | defendant contended as the charge was | for an offense criminal in its character, | »unishable by a forfeiture of office and also | v & fine, therefore the case should be pros- ecuted by criminal indictment or informa- tion, and the court could not entertain or | try the case under the form presented. This contention, however, the court re- fused to sustain. The code, he said, pro- | vides that such proceedings shall be pros- | ecuted by common information, except | where the proceedings are bad for the re- | moval of civil officers of the State, and | such action may be prosecuted by the At- | torney-General in civil action. { The court further states that the allega- tion of the acceptance and use of afree | pass was based on information and be- lief only, and the demurrer taken to. this on the ground of insufficiency is held well taken, In such actions, it is announced, where the charge is in substance and effect | criminal, the rules of pleading applicable | to criminal actions mustapply and govern. | In a criminal matter an avermenton in- formation and belief is not sufficient. The | party charged has a right to have a direct | and specific averment made against him. ELEVEN NEW DRUGGISTS. What Was Done at the Regular Meet- ing of the State Board of Pharmucy.
