The California Athletic Club procured a permit from the old Board of Super- visors a few months ago to give an athletic entertainment in February, and yesterday Billy Jordan, who is one of the directors of the ciub, matched the follow- ing pugilists toappear on the evening of Februury 22 in limited-round contests: The winner of the Van Buskirk and Stelz- ner fight, which will be decided at Sacra- mento on the evening of the 27th inst., against Jeffries of Los Angeles in a tens round contest. Agnews and ‘‘Spider” Kelly will contest six rounds, and Aus- tralian Billy Smith and Peppers, “the hot stuff reprecentative of the turf,” will en- gage in a ten-round contest. The directors of the Caiifornia Club state that they propose to give contests that will be satisfactury to the sporting public, and with that object in view they have secured the services of Hiram Cook, who wilil referee all contests given under their auspices.

The gentlemen came here by way of Colon. They say that while they were there an English ship with 800 negroes from Sierra Leone, Africa, arrived there, The negroes were brought to work on the Panama canal. “‘There are still men working along on the canal,” said Dr. Himes, ‘‘in different | places on the line of the Chagres River. Most of the working force, however, is enguged on the west end in deepening the barbor, so that all the Pucific steamers may come up to the dock, instead of anchoring out. Three drad:ers were at there, and several engines and ten- ders on narrow-gauge railroads were haul- ing the mud away. “T unaerstood that only the work re- quired to be done to hold the charter from the Colombian Government was now being executed. We were six weeks in making the trip here from New York, so many stops were there at different places to put on and take off freight, i POLICEiisTEAMBOAT. Chief Crowley Wants One for the Use of the Department. Chief Crowley is again taking steps to procure & steam launch for the use of the harbor police. The inconvenience that the department has been put to in pro- curing a vessel 10 intercept the ship Swan- hilda has forcibly demonstrated the neces- sity of the department being vrovidea with a launch of its own. The hartor police have. frequently to board incoming vessels and the only facil- ity they bave for the purpose is a white- hall boat. Ifa criminal should escape on an outward-bound vessel and the police became aware of the lact before she reached the limit there would be every chance of overtaking the vessel with a fast steam launch, but tlere is no chance with a whitehall boat. The Superyisors some years ago adopred the recommendation of the Chief and de- cided to purchased the tu Tia Juana, but before the final arrangements were made they changed their minds. s Marital Infelicity.

He has been for seventeen years in the im- rorting business, and has during all this ilk—that is to y, simply the silk threads—to the great manufacturers of New York, Paterson and those of the silk manufacturing towns | | The Cycle Board put itself on record as favoring the rceognition of California asphaltum as one of the paving materials to be considered hereafler by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, and it was remarked that, though a product of the Siate, asphaltum has been legislated out of competition in this City throuzh the political pull of a concern furnishing another kind of paving material. The harm dane, it_was contended, is not here alone, but in the East, where want of recognition at home tends to de- preciate the value of a product peculiar to several of the counties of Southern Calilornia. A resolution, embodying the sentiments of the Cycle Board on the subject of asphalt as a paving material, was ordered sent to the Supervisors. It is as follows: WHEREAS, California asphait is now recog- nized o be among the hest materials ‘or street pevement, haviug beer’ adopted by and laid I many of the principsl cities of this country; and whereas, under the existing ordinances of the City and County of Sau Francisco asphalt is discriminated against in the specifications for publio streat work; and whereas, California asphalt may belaid at no greater cost than has heretofore prevailed, be it Resolved, Thet the San Francisco Cycle Board of Trade hereby petition the Homorable the Board of Supervisors to 5o amend the present munieipal luw to the eff:ct that California asphalt may be permitied to compete with other paving waterial for this City and County, and be it Resolved, That the secretary of the San Fran- cisco Cyele Board of Trade is hereby instructed to forward a_copy of these resolutions to the Honorable the Board of Supervisors of this City and Couaty. The bicycle bageage bill, the bicycle- stealing felony bill and the premotion of the work of the Bureau of Highways will be supported at Sacramenio by Superior Judge Frank Dunne, Judge Frank H.

OYENO, the Millionaire Importer of Silk From the Land of the Chrysanthemum. (Sketched from life by a “Call” artist.] of Massachusetts, Pennsylvaniaand other States. There is no duty on raw silk, so the making of it into silk goods has become a great industry in many places. Mr. Oyeno says that Japan furnishes 60 per cent of the raw sitk used in the United States. The remainder of it comes from China, Italy and France. “The Chinese silk,” said Mr. Oyeno, “is cheaper than any other, but it is not so vood. Itisaway down in price now. The Italian silk is good. In Italy they know how to make good silk, and their product is the one which comes - into the strongest competition with the Japaneseé silk. “The French silk is very good, but very little is imported. 1 was over at Lyons not long ago to look into thesiik industry. I think it is better there than in this country. Just before I started for San | Francisco. too, I visited a good many of the manuficturers of silk in New York, Paterson and other places. “While business has been very dull with them the impression was that it would soon be better. The result of the recent election bas helped the business some. During the pust year or so, how- ever, only four or five of ail the silk manu- facturers have made any money. Silk is a good deat of a luxury, and is not what may be czlled a necessity, so when times get hard 1t means they don't but it. But times are brightening now, and we expect toimport a heavy amount of silk to this country.” Mr. Oveno will sail for Japan on the Coptic Saturday. To Aid Baggage Bill, Bicycle- Stealing Bill and Good Roads Cycle Board of Trade Asks the Super- visors to Recogniz: Ca'ifornia Asphaltum. There will be no cycle show here in Feb- ruary. The dealers are not in favor of the Dproject at present, because of the undevel- oped condition of busiuess for the coming season. They may be later when they shall have felt the pulse of the trede through the medium of the men just being sent throughout the State with the new sample bicycles, So much was decided at a meeting'last night of the San Francisco Cycle Board of Trade. Some other cycle matters of more than local import were acted upon. A bill drafted by Charles Albert Adams making bicyle-stealing a felony and pun- ishab'e as such, instead of mere petty larceny as now considered, was indorsed by the beard and ordered sent to Jlegis- lators at Sacramento, who will endeavor to have it adopted as a law. Itis practi- cally a specific definition of grand larceny, and inits conciuding clauses is as follows: Grand larceny is committed in any one of the following cases: First—When the property taken is of a value exceeding &50. Second—When the property is taken from tbe person of another. Third—When the property is a bicycle, horse, mare, gelding, cow, steer, bull, calf, mule, jack or jenny. their time and services free, but the cyclists have decided to raise enough money to defray their traveling and living expenses. The Cycle Roard voted $50 to the pur- ose last night. The League of American Wheeimen may be counted on to sub- scribe $150. The Bureau of Highways, eager for such valuasle assistance, may | furnish §100 more to the lobbying ex- penses of these men. The committee on cycle show, James M. Hamilton (chairmag), J. W. Leavitt and S. Plummer, reported unfavorably upon the project of an exbibition so early as February. It also reported that any hall in the City could be obtained for the show for three nizhts with proper orchestra for $235. It might be necessary either to have the cycle trade guarantee $1000 for expenses of the show, or to have each dealer using display space pay $100 for it. The senti- ment seemed to be thatitis too early to talk of a show. McKENZIE MUSICALE. The Society Concert Given Last Night Proved a Success. The McKenzie Musical Society gavea very successful concert at Native Sons’ Hall last evening to a crowded house. The programme was a good one and on the whole well received. I P. Grodgins’ rendering of “O Thou Sublime, Sweet Evening Star,” from “Tannhauser,” brought down the house and won for him a double encore. The aria and chorus “Inflam matus” from Rossini’s “Stabat Mater” was well done by tle society and Miss Minnie Powell. The first selection of the Mas- cagni Mandolin Club was rather tame, but their performance of the Double Eagle March left nothing to be desired. Mr. McKenzie was at one time here a famous boy barytone, and will no doubt be remembered by all lovers of music. Alfter the programme_John Sale, the pres- ident of the club, made a little speech, which was warmly applauded. —————— LAWSUIT DOWNED. Gleason Drove Him at the Mechanics’ Pavilion Last Night. Oscar R. Gleason, the horse-tamer, made good his promise last evening, and quieted, harnessed and drove Lawsuit at the Me- chanics’ Pavilion. The horse is the one that caused Glea- son’s arrest on & charge of craelty to animals, and the professor clearly showed that Officer Holbrook’s allegation, that the animal was as gentle as could be, was erroneous. The animal nearly kicked the training- wagon to pieces, and when Gleason would refer to the ‘“gentle horse’” a howl of laughter would go up from the big crowd. e had another interesting subject in Tiger Jim, a six-year-old -never har- nessed before. Lawsuit and Jim are/not completely trained, however, and, in com- pany with two thoroughbred runaways, will' receive additional lessons this evening. e Supposed Incendiary Fire. A supposed incendiary fire at 3614 Mission street Wednesday night is being investigated by Fire Marshal Towe. It was in an unoccupied two-story frame buflding owned by Attorney Meyer Ruef.

Threatened With Arrest for Singing in the Streets of This City. She and Her Mother Now Seeking Means to Get to Their Home at Bishop, Inyo County. In many towns in Northern California, during the past seven months, little Rosa Fletcher, aged 8 years, has been singing to the accompaniment of an accordion played by her mother. She sang a few nights lately 10 this City until the mother was informed that ske was liable to be ar- rested for begging. Yesterday she told ner story to Officer Holbrook of the So- ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. She said that her home is in Bishop, Inyo County. She went out there with her husband and five children to setile upon desert land which they took up. Her husband fell from a hay-wazon, in- juring himself severely. They had no money, and the support of the family fell upon her alone. Ste conceived the idea that her litle girl’s voice might bring them in some money. She went with the little girl to Sacra- mento, but she was ashamed;to have her sing there. But she went to Ione, Ama- dor City, Sutter Creek, Jackson, Angels Camp, Colusa, Bartlett Springs, Clear Lake, Cloverdale, Ukiah, Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Eureka, Fort Bragg, Ferndale, Scotia, North Fork, Arcata, Crescent City and other towns, singing in the streets, on boats angelsewhere. The girl’s voice Look well, and at 8 years of age she became the support of a family consisting of the father, mother and five children. ‘The'mother economized and managed to live and in seven monthssent $150 home to her busband at Bishop. But yesteraay she was in a dilemma. She dared not have her child sing in the streets here, for fear she wouid be arrested. She had not thought of this, but believed that sue would be able to earn enough money here to take her home to Bishop, the amount being something iike $35. She was nearly out of money, and saw no way to reach Bishop, which s about 300 miles from Reno. “1i they would let my little girl sing on the ferry-boats for alitt'e while,”” she said, +-peruaps I could raise the money I need in tuat way. I would be endlessly thank- ful if that could be brought about.” Last night Mrs. Fletcher was facing a problem hard to solve. i FRATERIAL LIRS A Grand R-corder of the Ancient Order ot United Workmen Resigans. Evans Couanci', 0 C F, Has a Public Installation—The Frienis of the Forest—Other Organizations. Rev. W. Warne Wilson, who bas been grand recorder of the Grand Lodge, An- cient Order of United Workmen, of Michi- gan, since August, 1877, tendered his resignation, to take effect on the last day of last month, and no eficrt to induce him to withdraw it availed. The retiring grand recorder resigned from the office he held for so many years because of his in- ability to agree with the new assessment plan, which was adopted at the last held Supreme Lodge session and which has since been adopted by the grand lodges of California, New York, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and Louisiana and has proved very satisfactory. Allof the fraternal so- cieties that Lave been conducting busi- ness on the level assessment plan have been forced to adopt some system to meet the increase of loss as the order grows older. Nearly half a century ago the same experience was had in England, but the different orders met the difficulty by adopting some plan similar to what has been adopted by the A. 0. U. W., and the resuit bas been continuous prosperity ever since. In speaking of the resignation Mr. Wilson said: My present difference with the A. 0. U. W. is smply on a question of policy. I may be right and I may be wrong, but I believe ‘that the order is a grand institution, which hus done au immense amount ot good for the com- munity. There is no reason for a member of the order to lose 1aith in it because of my res- | ignation. I would under no’ circumstances surrender my membership in the’ order, of which I was elected supreme master workman in 1891, and of the Supreme Lodge, of which I have been & member since 1881, The retiring grand recorder has started a new fraternal organization called the Colum- bian League, which wili be conducted on lines that accord with his policy.

Pacific Rolling-Mill kmployes on the Spreckels Building Demand Higher Wages. About twenty-five riveters in the employ of the Pacific Rolling-mills quit work yesterday morning because tneir em- Ployers refused to increase their wages cents'a day. The men were engaged in the construction of the new Claus Spreckels building on Market and Third streets. ‘The men laid down their tools shortly after 7 o'clcck. A little later Patrick Noble, superintendent of the rolling-mills, appeared upon the scene, and a com- mittee of the men waited upon him and made known their demands. The riveters stated that while the iron and steel work was progressing skyward the danger, too, was increasing, and they thought they should be paid $2 75a day instead of $250. Asthe element of danger had entered into their octupation they believed that theiremployersshould make an increase over the prevailing scaedule. Superintendent Noble refu-ed to accede to the demands of the men,Who empha- sized their demands by removing their working overalls and blouses. The best of order prevailed, and no one on the street was aware that there was any .difference of opinion between employer and em- ploges. As each riveter was allowed a helper, the latier were, of course, familiar with the nature of tue work, and they were at once promoted to ti.e positions of riveters. A 1ew iron-workers were taken upon the job to fill the vacancies. Asthe major part of the iron and sieel work is about finished, it is believed that it will be com- pleted without great inconvenience. As the case stands, the rolling-mill offi- cers believe that the men will return to the work, particuiarly where there isso little more to be done. Several conferences were held yesterday between the disagreeing parties, but no settlement was reached. It is said that the trouble was stacted by the riveters learning that one of their number was to receive an increase of 25cents a day, and the others bel.eved that ali should be paid alike. Mr. Noble explained that the case cited was that of a man who had beer promoted to the position of foreman of the riveters, and upon whom additional responsibility was inposed. The walkout does not atfect the other workmen on the building. ——— s Divorces Granted Yesterday.
