Precita Valley, that for years lay dor- mant at the northern base of Bernal Heights, known as Mission Creek, is now undergoing the change brought about by the introduction of improvement ciubs. This section has been considerably im- | proved by the erection of & polytechnic | coilege and a Catholic church, There are also numerous respectable families located there, and as a result the **Mission Creek’’ that was 18 the “Sunshine Precita Valley,” and bas an improvement club that is determined to make its influence felt at the City Hall by petitions for street im- provements, notwithstanding the invari- able protest of M. P, Jones, who owns quite a large slice of the really in that place, filed against every petition sent in ior the betterment of the locality. At a meeting of the club at Grahams Hall last night, with Stephen A. Byrns in the chair, the Board of Supervisors was petitioned to order sewers in Florida street, from Twenty-sixth to Army; in Precita avenue, from its junction with Alabama, Army and York streets; also in Bryant avenue, from Twenty-sixth to Army streets. There was a prospect elicited of further requesting that Bernal Park be placed in recreation condition irrespective of the standing protest of M. P. Jones, on file, against any and all im- provements in that section. 1n order to emphasize this action the following delegates were elected tc the Affiliated Association of Clubs: Henry Behrens, John T. Graham, F. Goggin, H. Young and Joseph Vizzard. With these gentlemen and Henry Behrens, Joseph Viuzard, F. Goggin, John T. Graham, Henry Young, John £. O’Brien and 8.

The reso- lution reads as follows: WHEREAS, There is now before the Congress of the United States a measure known as the Loud postal biil, which bill is intended to re- s revenues of the Postoffice Department, as revealed by the re- port ot the Postmaster-Genera:; and whereas, the _provisi of the atoresaid bill contemplating, as it does, an increased postal rate on the periodical literature of the day, | will strike with such staegering severity at | the aiready struggling labor press as fo make | its continued exisience doubtiul; and whereas, | the triumph of such & measure wouid but aid | in still further concentrating into the hands [ of the wealthy the means by which public | opinion is moided, leaving the poor and op- pressed classes without a medium through which to check oppression and reprove wrong- doing; therefore be it Resolved, That the 8an Franclsco Trades and assembled, does hereby repudiate the Loud postal bill'as at present comstructed and rec- ommends to 1ts author a revision based upon the reduction of the present railway charges per pound, the rates now being charged by express companies for the carrying of mer- chandise.

A Fight Against the Possible En- trance of the Missionary Among Them. The United Brotherhood of the South | Sea Islands held a meeting last evening to discuss the constitution. Several of the members expressed themselves as very much aisgusted with the treatment a corded iheir organization and enterprise by the Examiner. **We are represented as a’lot of irresponsible and immoral men going down to the south seas chasing women,” «aid one of the speakers, “Itis stated that there 1s not a married man in the lot, while we all know that is not true. Tois is an organization recognizing social- istze principies and its purpose is to estab- | lish a colony in good faith to work ont those principles.” The discussion of the meeting chiefly turned upon an article in the constitution which declared that every member of the organization had a right to and should not be interfered with in his religious views, but that there snhould be no churches built in the colony nor should there be any preaching. The point was made that in order to build 8 church land would have to be granted and the colony could refuse to grant the land, and that would end it, “But what would prevent a man from declaring his own house to bea church and asking the colonists to come and hear bim preach? What right would we have to prevent that?'’ asked Reinhart. “You would have no right, Mr. Chair- man. I can answer that,” said & member quietly. Reinhart said he was the author of this provision of tke constitution, and urged that it be allowed to remain. Upon a vote being taken, however, 21 voted to strike it out, 7 voted in favor of it and 3declined | to vote. Reinhart said that a special meeting would be called before the colony sailed, and unless some provision was made to govern the colony in regard to religion he would remain behind in San Francisco. He wanted the missionary to be absolutely prohibited. — OHUTES TO-DAY. Halght-Street Grounds In Full Blast Afternoon and Evening. The Chutes will be reopened to-day, and this afternoon and evening Ordway, a trick bicycie rider, and Brown, the one- legged cyclist, will give exbibitions.

NEABLY LAY ON MUDDY BOTTOM Narrow Escape of the Coal-Laden Ship For- farshire. She Came Very Close to Re- reating the Tragic Incident of the Blairmore. N:w Regulations for Engineers Now in Effect in Aus- tralia. But two hawsers and a quick-witted chief officer stood between the Forfarshire and the bottom of the bay yesterday. It was almost a repetition ot the Blairmore incident. The Forfarshire arrived a few days ago from Sydney, laden with coal, and she docked at Union street. Before all her wai, which arrived here from Australia so heavily laden with merchandise thatshe could not carry coal enough for the round trip, took what was left in the ship’s bold, and the Forfarshire was moved round beside the Monowai at Pacific- street wharf, and commenced to discharge what remained of her cargo into the steamer dlrect. The Monowal wanted about 300 tons, and by the time that amount was trans- ferred the Forfarshire was floating like a cork. Then as soon as the tide com- menced to run it caught her, and she commenced to heel over. The men in the hold rushed on deck aud scrambled over the side on to the Monowai. The bow and stern lines, which were of steel, snapped with reports like a pistol, tearing out the bits on the whart and on the vessel, and the big ship slowly but steadily settled over on her side, Chief Officer Graham of the Monowai saw the danger and he at once set all nands on two big coir_hawsers, and, mak ing them fast on the Forfarshire, he taut- ened them up on the steamer's winches. the tide turned. This was on Thursday night. Yesterday ballast was dumped into the hold until the Forfarshire re- gained an even keel and grew steady enough to resist the sweep of the water. The hawsers were made fast before the ship was well started over, otherwise nothing would have held her off the bottom. Chief Engineer McKaig of the Monowai brings news of the fact that the Australian Government has adopted a new standard for engineers. They will have to serve five years in a foundry and will have to show the certificate of a machinist. Ma- rine engineers will also have to serve one year as oiler, one year as third assistant, one year as second assistant and one year as firsy assistant, before they are passed as chief engineers. The new law holds good through ail Australia. 1t 13 understood that the Harbor Com- missioners will soon abolish the positions of superintendent of urgzent repairs and assistant superintendent of urgent repairs. The new plan is that Chief Engineer Holmes shall heve charge of all repair work. The following notices have been issued by the Hydrographic Office: Oregon and Washington—Columbia River— New dikes and bridges — New survey—Im- rovements by the corps of engineers, United rates army, have resulted in the following additions 10 the improvements in the Colum- across the Willamette River irom East: Port- land to Portland.

(See No- tice to Mariners, No. 48 (1074) of 1896.) Thesa changes will next be shown on the next edi- tions of the Coast Survey charts. Oregon—Siusiaw River entrance—New sur- vey—A survey by the corps of engineers United States armiy, in June, 1893, of the en. trance to Siuslaw Kiver, shows such extensive changes that the present edition of the coast survey chart is 10 longer reliable, and vessels Should not enter without local knowledge or a Dilot. The changes will be shown on the next edition of the charts. Washington — Willapa River—New dikes— Changes in hydrography—Improvements by tho corps of engineers, United States army, have resulted in & series of dikes in the v cinity of South Bend, Willapa River, which have materially increased the depths and changed the hydrography. These changes will be shown on the Dext editions of the Coast Survey charts. ‘Washington —Swinomish Slough—Dredged channel—Improvements by the corps of en- gineers, United States army, have resulted in a dredged channel 100 feet'wide and 4 feet deep, from Skagit Bay across the flats into Swinomish Slough to La Conrr,and a wattled pile dike 6180 fect long 1rom a point 400 feet west from the entrance to the Hole in the Wall, westerly to a point 300 feet distant from the northwest point of Goat Island. An ex- amination made in April, 1896, 1ndicated the following changes: A slight shoaling of the slough proper between La Conner and Padilla Bay. Anincrease both in area and elevation of the shoal just inside of the Hole in the Wall. Anatural_sajustment of the dredged chan- nel irom the Hole in the- Wall to Saratoga passage. A deepening of this chanmel in Places and shoaling at others. A decided in- crease in depth of this channel from the west end of the wattled dike to the deep water of Saratoge passage. These changes will be shown on the next edition of the Coast Survey chart. X Washington—Puget Sound, Olympiab haror, Dredged channel—Improvements by the corps of enginecers, Unitea States army, have Te- sulted in & dredged channel 400 feet wide and 6 feet deep into the whari at Olympia. Near the whari the channel widens to 500 leet to afford « turning basin. Dredging is still in operation. The next edition of the Coast Sur- vey charts will show the channel toits full proposed dimensions. HAVE FENDERS ALREADY. San Francisco and San Mateo Electric load Is Satisfactorily Equipped. The San Francisco and San Mateo Elec- tric Railway Company had a petition yes- terday before the Health.and Police Com- mittee of the Board of Supervisors asking that the road might be exempted from any genera Jorder making it mandatory upon streetcar companies of this City to affix such fenders as may be adopted by the board to all of their cars. The com- pany has filed with the clerk of the Boara of Supervisors a drawing of a fender spe- cially designed for use on its cars and also a petition asking that the use of such fender be approved. This fender has twice been tried before a committee of the Supervisors and has twice demonstrated its efficiency. Since May, 1894, there have been only two end-on accidents on the line. One man was struck while Iying be- tween the rails on a dark night on the county division of the rcad. The other case was where a boy lost one foot by the wheels. CAMPBELL'S ~ RELEASES, The Grand Jury Has Them All Explained to Their Satisfaction. A Girzier's Bill for Work at the G.rl1s’ High School Is Criti- cizad. The Grand Jury yesterday heard the testimony of Desk Sergeant Bidwell con- cerning that **0. R.” issued in the Glea- son case, upon which the date was changed and which served as the basis, for the jury’s investigation of Judge Campbell’s methoas with regard to “O. R.s” and other things. Sergeant Bidwell testified that it was he who changed the date; that he as desk sergeant at the Central Police station was given authority to do such things by all the Police Judges, that is, to correct any evident error, such as the date. Judge Campbell was also before the jury, and in answer to questions explained many things about the Police Courts, some of which should be corrected. Bo far as the O. R.s are concerned, the jury com- pletely exonerates Judge Cawpbell. Chairman Kast of the committee on schools made a report concerning the ap- paratus purchased for use at the labora- tory of the Girls’ High School. From inquiry made and inspection had at_the school they believe the §5000 was juai- ciously and wisely expended on the lab- oratory. “Unfortunately for the school,” says the report, ‘‘one of the rooms set apart for the laboratory has for a period of more than five months been in the possession of and occupied by the carpenters, to the total exclusion of pupils, while mlklng drawers, shelving for tables, window an door frames, all of this class of work being essentially mill work. In other words, all of the work done and being done at the Girls’ High School could have been made at a mill and then put up at the school within a month.” N No complaint is made of the quality of the work done. The report says further: The attention of the Grand Jury is called to three bills of December 28, 29 and 31, 1896, for & total of $222 15 for furnishing glass and glazing same at laboratory and. conservatory of_the Girls’ Hign Echool, by P. J. Walsh. Your committee learns the actual cost of glass furnished as specified in his bill to be $66. Allowing the glazier for his work 831 and & profit of 30 per cent on his costs $29 10, we find a total of $126 10, which we submit is a tair remuneration for the amount of goods furnished and work done. Your commitiee are informed that had the work been let on ids it could have been done for $100, g d i Barg: in Cloaks. One of the greatest bargain sales in ladies’ cloaks ever held in S8an Francisco has been the offering during the past few days at the great closing out sale of Armand Ceilleau, corner of Geary street and Grant avenue. The entire stock, however, has not been disposed of, and the balance is now beicg closed out at the same phenomenal bargains that have marked this sale us one of the greatest opportunities ever offered to the ladies of this City for the purchase of cloaks. * To Reduce Gas Lights. Colonel Taylor, Inspector of Gas and Water, says he thinks 113 gas lignts, now in street use, can be dispensed with; also, that the lights can be suspended eight nights per month, Last year 164 sireet gas lights were diseontinued.

The Public Cautioned to Pay No Money Except by Check to Treasurer W. H. Crccker. I The Western Passenger Association at | its meeting yesterday in Chicago decided | to make a round-trip rate of $50 from | Chicago to San Fraacisco for the Chris tian Endeavor convention, to be held this City from July 7 to 12 next. A rate of $46 50 from St. Louis and Memphis was also made for the round trip. Thisis oneof the cheapest transconti- nental rates that has ever been made, and out of the 2,000,000 and over of Christian Endeavor members from 25,000 to 80,000 | are expected to attend the convention | here. | There will be special decorations of tke streets and stores with the Christian En- | deavor colors, purple and gold, during | convention week, and with the Fourth of July decorations, most of which will in ail probability not have been taken down, the street scenes promise to be quite gor- geous. - The Mechanics’ Pavilion is to be trans- formed for the Christian Endeayor con- vention to be held in San Francisco this | year. 1t was so decided at a meeting of | the Cnristian Endeavor '97 convention committee Thursday night, when Percy & Hamilton, the architects, were given charge of the work. The inteation is to turn the interior of the Pavilion into a vast amphitheater | capable of seating at least 10,000 persons. | ‘About this part of the plan there is said | to be little or no aifficulty, but a studied effort will be made to so arrange the auditory as to insure every member of the audience distinctly hearing the speakers. For the acoustic arrangements it is pro- posed that a sub-roof some distance above the gallery will be erected to cover the whole amphitheater and prevent the sound from losing itself overhead. Anocher feature will be a choir with 2000 seats for the singers who will partici. ate at the various exercises. Woodward's | B iion has alao bsen engaged. The matter of badges was discussed. The committee desired if possible to have the badges made in San Francisco, but so far are unable to get a satisfactory design for manufacture here at reasonable ex- pense. So the committee on decorations was mnstructed to make further efforts in | that direction. It was agreed that 25,000 | badges should be ordered. The committee on music was appointed as follows: J. J. Morris, W. C. Stadieldt, Martin Schultz, Robert Evans, Rev. John Rea, 0. M. Vesper, C. E. Lloyd, H. K. Snow, Robert Husband, 8. H. Roberts, ‘William F. Hoke, C. M. T. Parker, A. T. Sutherland, E.
