They Are Well Supplied With Dogs and Cats, A PROSPECT OF " EARLY RELIEF The Finance and Execu- tive Committees Are Busy. The Question of Funds Alone ' Prevents Work on the Boulevard. Serious Distress Is Still Peing Alle- viated by the Unemployed Organization. A few technical detailsalone prevent the immediate commencement of the work on the projected boulevard to Ingleside. Chief Engineer Schussler ot the Spring Valley ‘Water Works yesterday informed the executive committee that the necessary surveys of the company’s right of way had been completed, and that the deeds would be ready for the City’s acceptance this morning. The grades for ex-Mayor Sutro’s right of way, however, have not yet been prepared, but when that 1s done at least 600 men can be put to work almost im- mediately, provided, of course, the dimen- sions of the relief fund warrant such action. The finance committee appointed by Chbairman W, M. Bunker of the general relief committce to devise ways and means for the relief of the unemployed | held 2 busy session yesterday morning and prepared a provisional list of district and special commitiees for publication. The members pre-ent were: A, 8, Bald- | win, chairman; J. C. Johnson, W. M. Bunker, L. R. Eiler!, Louis Sloss Jr. and | the secretary, Charles Fay. Chairman 'Leffingwell of the unem- vployed organization interviewed the com- mittee prior to its reguiar session, but proposed no alternative plan for its adop- tion. He merely wished to assure the members of the real necessity at present existing throughout the Cily, and the need more especially of affording imme- diate relief to destitute families. The committee then continued the work of drafting the list of special and district committees, and finally gave the foilow- ing names for publication, with the un- derstanding that the list 1s provisional deemed advisable: 1. East and Drumm streets, from Market to the bay—E. H. Baxter, Captain Minor Goodall, Henry Kron. 2. From the wi side of Front street—Frank Sumner, Castle, A. M. Ebbets. ¥rom the cast side of Front street to the Albert and subject to subsequent modification if | de of Drumm to the enst | east side of Sansome street—J. C. Johuson, | rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, when the boulevard scheme was at once brought ap for discussion. Mr, Crocker suggested the practicability of extending the boulevard to the county limits and expressed his belief that the peopie all along the line, whose property would be improved by the work, would readily contribute hundreds of dollars to promote it. Mr. O'Connor said that this matter could be taken up later. If the City would guarantee the present right of way, then work might be begun at once, and the City’s acceptance was certain as soon as the other two deeds were obtainea. Mr. Bunker said that sufficient grades to make a street had already been fixed and that the nocessary stakes could be set in twenty-fonr hours. Mr. Crocker moved that a committee be appointed to make preliminary errange- ments with respect to_the deeds, the sp- pointment of a superintendent, etc., and report to the executor. The motion car- ried, Messrs. Crocker, O’Connor and Schussier being appointed members of the committee. During a discussion as to the possibility of starting operations Mr. Burke said he thought there shou!d be at least §$5000 in the treasury before this was done. P. Broderick, an employe of the railway compauny, being invit-d-to give the com- mittee the benefit of his practical experi- encein work of this kind, advised the hiring of men by the hour.’ Eignt hours a day, he considered, shouid be sufficient. ‘There should also be some classitication of wages, if it could be satisfactorily ar- ed. He himself was pretty well ac- quainted with the worthy residents of the City who would be willing to work on the boulevard. He would be in favor of allowing such men 20 cents an hour. The committee, however, retused to en- tertain such a proposal. - “This is.a matter of charity and temporary relief,” said Mr. Eilert, “'and we do not intend to pay the uniform wages.” Mr. Bunker then advised the committee to issue an appeal to the public, to be signed by every member of the different committees and circulated through the press. A permanen: asristant should be engaged to remain on the preraises all the time and give the necessary information to the newspapers respecting subscrip- tions. The committee adopted this suggestion and Mr. Ellert undertook to have the ap- peal ready for publication that evening. Mr. Bunker, returning to t. e boulevard project, said it might be possible to ar- range for the free transportation of the men to and from their york. Formerly they bad baen obliged to pay car fares and these had considerably reduced their wages, Chief Engineer Schussler of the Spring Vailey Water Works arrived at this mo- ment ana informed the committee of the completion of the surveys, and added that the deeds would be ready this morning and would be at once presented for the City’s acceptance. The board of direct- ors, he said, had unanimously granted the right of way. The only difficulty now remaining was with respect to the grade on Sutro’s rignt of way, which had not yet been fixed. The company’s right of way, now ready, could afford employ ment for 100 men only,while Mr. Sutro’s, when the grades had i.een de- | cided, could afford employment for at least 500. A communieation was received from the managers of the Bush-street Theater ton- dering a benefit performanc- for the un- employed of “*The New Si Perkins,”” which will be presented next week by Sam J.

Manager Reinhart was at firs. in a bad humor over what the newspapers haa said about the expedition. “We areon a legitimate enterprise,” said he, *and I don’t think we should be ridiculed. We are going to Funafuti in the Eilice group, and 1 am confident that we will have no trouble in getting the permission of the Governor of Fiji to scttle there. The place is one of the most beautiful spots in the southern seas and can support twice the number of men we have aboard. Itis only one of the group of islands that are awaiting colonists, and I intend coloniz- | ing them., From Fiji to the Ellice group is only a day’s run for a steamer, and I'll bet you a new bat that inside of twelve months we are In direct communication with Australia and New Zealand. Weare on no wild-goose chase and are after no ‘Adamless Xden,’ as you boys have been making ont.” . The following description of the desti- nation of the adventurers is taken from the Melbourne Leader of la<t January: The atoll of Funafuti was discovered by Cap- tain Peyster, in tne Rebecea, on the 18th of March, 1819. According to observations of Captain Wilkes it lies in & deg. 30 min. 45 sec. south, 179 des. 13 m1n. 30 sec. east, a position which may olherwise be described as due north of Fijl, and precisely hali-way between that aud the equator. The nearest high land is the small island of Rotumab, 260 miles 1o the soutnwest, but the nearest land of auy considerable size is Vanua Levu, 450 miles south. On nesriug Funafuti, as with any South sea atoll, & long low line of vegetation on the hori- zon gives the first intimation of the approach 10 land. Looming larger the tallest paim trees show their piumed heads sharp against the sky. Nearer.if to windward, the dense vege- tation is framed by & long white line of ever- Dreaking surl; toleeward s beach of sand, da: z.ing white in the sunshine, Iimits the forest. Not till the observer entered the lagoon by one of the navigable channels does the ainll as & whole extend before him Tize outline of Funafutl is that of & pesr, the curved stem of which is directed uthward. On the eastor windward side the outiine is sketched in most firmly, the thread of ree! aud paim being herc almost continuous; but on the leeward side so many and so wide are the gaps that the interspaces of surf far exceed those dots where the atoll rim emerges as dry Jand. The lagoon, a noble sheet of water about ten miles loug and eight broad, thus bounded, is plentifuily besprinkled with shoals of which rise w0 the surface aud “break. maximum depth {s thirts fathoms, the genera: level of the floot being sbout twenty, whence it steeply rises to the beacn. A more motley crowd surely never started on such an expedition. The average age was about 35, but among the ninety and nine who went &s passengers there were men who were well up to the three- score-and-ten limitand boys who had only cast their first vote. When it came to a rolicall in the early watches of the morn- ing there was one man missing. Later on he showed up and demanded his money back. It was given him and the vessel Ban Francisco, 1897 TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY. Teke laxative Bromdo Quinine Tablets.

Captain McLeod of the brig Courtney Ford has been appointed master of the Lurline and Captain Murchison succeeds himon the Ford. The latter was master of the schooner Ivy, and his brother who was mate uader him will go out as master of the Ivy. The schooner Falcon has been bo ught | by C. A. Hooper & Co., and Captain Ris- | tine, late of the schooner Mary and Ida, ] will go out in command. | Will Paulsen of the yacht Rambler and Jobn Echeele of the Juanita sailed yester- | day on the Umatilla en route for Alaska. Undeterred by the failure of the thou- rands who went to the Yukon last season, they have decided to try their luck, and | have gone prepared to stay up there at least two years. They have at least a ton of provisions with them, so they won't starve for a few months, anyhow. The steam schooner Alliance will tow the dismasted schooner Mabel Gray to Eureka for repairs. The Gray was on her way there from San Diego, when a flash of lightning strack the topmast head, and traveling down a stay tore not only the| fore and main out of her, but also ths jib- | boom. The schooner putin here in dis- tress and will now go to her home port to be repaired ana overhauled. The famous steamer Scandinavia-Sirius- Kahului has been renamed the Cleveland and put under the American register. In future sie will run between here and Puget Sound in the coal trade. The steam whaler Navarch will sail for the Arctic next Tuesday. She will be the first of the fleet 10 go north, although the Horatio and Lydia sailed for the southern seas some time ago. The British ship Genesta has been char- tered to load sugar at Hilo, H. L, for New York, and will come out of her retirement mn Oakland Creek to-morrow. She will be ballasted by Eschen & Minor and will at once start for Hawaii. The Samantba and Genesta are the only two British ships that have ever gone from San Fran- cisco to load suger at Honolulu for the East. The Harbor Commissioners yesterday accepted the resignation of Collector Casey at Fremont street and immediately afier- ward appointed bim wharfinger at Clay street in place of W.

The Mutual Electric Light Company has been granted the contract for a year to supply the water front with fifty lights at $2 75 a light, whereas the Edison Lizht and Power Company has been charging $3 15.

Collector Wise Receives Instructions From Washington. Some New Complicatioas Over the Bill of Health of the Vessel. Captain Harkins May Find Himselt L:able to a Fine of Five Thou- sand Dollars. The troubles of Captain Harkins of the American- schooner Una, who sailed his | vessel out of the harbor of Panama sev- | eral weeks sgo without clearance papers, and who was refused entry at this port because of his lack of the proper docu- ments, are practically over, but he still has one complication to face. Collector Wise received a letter from the Treasury Department yesierday in | answer to a telegram explaining the mat- ter, stating that the vessel might be al- lowed to enter here us though she had her papers. The captain’s affidavit rela- tive to the reasons for his leaving Panama so hurriedly is now on the way to Wash- ington In company with a detailed com- munication from Collector Wise. Thus far the vessel is out of difficulties, but it appears that the Consul neglected or refused—it is uncertain which—to issue a clean bill of health to the Una, and this matter will be the subject of further cor- respondence between the Collector and the depariment. The penalty for leaving a port of a for- eign country and entering one within the jurisdiciion of the United States without tne bill of health is $5000, and unless Cap- | tain Harkins can show tuac he had some good excuse for leaving without the pre- clous clean tiil he may be compelied to pay the piper. Captain Harsins and the owners and agents of the Una insist tbat i.e took the only course left him to escape an unjust imprisonment in a Columbian dungeon and possible confiscation of his vessel. He knew that efforts were being made so bavehim thrown into jail on a trumped- up charge so that the freight on a cargo of mahogany logs he had brought to Panama from & South American port might be saved to its owners and he asked for his papers from the American Consul. The latter feared 10 comply with the re- quest and to!d the skipper so, but advised bim thut he was getiing into a dangerous position and had better haul up his anchor and fly. Harkins asked for his bill of health, but_could not get it and slipped out of the harbor before the authorit.es were aware of his intention. He was chased by a Colnmbian gunboat that pottered after him for a day, but he finally got out of danger. His cargo of logs, minus an owner, can now be dischargea here, but Capiain Har- kins wiil have 1o remain in port until the bill of neaith matter is settled. CUT AT A BALL George Barrata Arrested on a Charge of Assault With a Deadly Weapon. George Barrata, who is employed in a Sansome-street commission-house, - was arrested yesterday by Policeman Dwyer on a warrant charging him with assault with a deadly weapon. Antone Bacigalupi is the complaining witness. He asserts that he attended the ball at Garibaldi Hall on Saturday night last, and that during a row Barrata cut him with s knife or razor.

It will be seen from the foregoing that the City has been so districted as to facili- tate the subscription canvass of the differ- ent committees and that the gentlemen appointed ‘0 act in each district are thor- oughly representative and energetic in character. Ciaus Spreckels was named to act as chairman of a commiitiee at large, but, as previously stated, thess nomina- tions are not final, Every member of the district and spe- cial committees is anthorized to collect money subscriptions, which will all be turned over to Daniel Mcyer, the Pine- street banker, the treasnrer of the unem- ployed fund. The members of these committees are to be individuaily notified of their appoint- ment at once, and it _is expected that the work of canvassing for subscriptions will start to-day. Mr. Bunker expressed him- self yesterday as confident that as soon as the people recognized that the relief com- mittes was in earnest they would liberally respond to the appeal for assistance. The money collected will be received by the treasurer and paid out as occasion de- mands, and subsecriptions on paper, though they will never be rejected, will not be viewed with the same favor as spe- cie and cheek payments. The executive committee, in the persons | of Messrs. L. R. Ellert, H. J. Crocker, C. W. McAfee, Lippman Sachs, Hugh Craig, William M.

This _depariment of the organizstion's activity 18 now wonderfully well systema- tig.d. Before the wagon is sent round during the day members of the soliciting committee visit various likely plac s and record the promises received of donations in kind. They afterward present their report to the secre.ary, who in turn turnishes the teamsters with a list of names, and in this way the work of col- lection is simplified and expedited. The stock of provisions on hand yester- | day was said to be sufficient for another day, though unexpecied appeals for out- side assistance might deplete it consider- ably in ihe meantime. The commissariat department also cast-off clothing and old shoes, which is replenished anu exbausted nearly every day. Incidentally it may be stated that the boots bave given rise to some little friction, which has resuited in the sum- five men. These comprised the very laziest mem- bers of the organization, who refused to do a “tap” of work and yet expected to receive ull the benefits accruine to mem- When their appli- cation lor footwear was refused, on the ground that necessity must first be served, they proc:eded to conspire against | the body politic, and were therefore eject- | ed, “to prey at fortune.” President Lefingwell states that nego- tiations are at present pending which may eventually leaa to the employment of 300 mén on a mining proposition at good wages. At the moment, Lowever, he was not prepared to give further par- ticulars.

Often enough they have to be satisfied with one meal aday, though two are always provided when the stock on hand permits. Muyor Phelan, who was the first to re- spond to the appeal for assistance, yester- day contributed another $250 to the gen- eral relief committee’s fund, of which Daniel Meyer, 216 Pine street, is the treas- urer.
