The Fresno Athletic Club, baving been suspended and not having done anything toward making explanation, was unani- mously expelled, The disposition of the fund taken in at the Olympic-Batie football match amounting to $732, caused a warm discus- sion. The board of managers authorized the payment of the money to the Boule- vard General mittee, without further warrant, divided | the money equally beitween the Oiympic ub, the Butte team and the boulevard fund. A resolution was passed censuring the boulevard commit:ee and authorizin z the new board of managers to take whatever steps mizht be necessary to recover the money and see it used for its legilima purpose. The treasurer presented a very flatter- ing report. The receinis for fhe year were: (‘asa on hand $5 75, dues $217, ini- tiation $110, rezatta $38 tournament $4715; total penses §607 40, leaving a balance on hand of $160. Secretary West reported that there is for the rumors that the is being disorganized, and President Humphrey said that the lead- ing club to withdraw was not unanimous, as was proved by the application to-night of the Oiympic Rowing Club and its ad- mission membership. He declared that the association is absolutely neces- sary to the preservation of amateur sport. Howard Taylor, leader of the Olympic Club, through the president, made a statement tuat neither he norany of the directors of the club were responsible for the statements made in the papers, and stated that with certain changes in the representatives of the board of managers the Olympic would again join the associa- tion, and so would the other ciubs that had withdrawn The president stated that the Olympic Ciub had been assured that no advances toward a reconciliation would be maae by the association. *“The Olympic Club seems to think that we need them,” said Mr. Humpbrey, “out we do not, and we do not fear them."’ A discussion took place on boxing and | Delcgate Bowers of Sacramento wanted | more latitude than the rufes a lo He said $35 was too little inducement, es- pecially for clubs who are distant from San Francisco and who want to draw men from San Francisco or Los Angeles, Delegate Reinhart of the University of California moved that the trophy be raised to $75, and after many members had expressed the opinion that any one who would not box fur $35 is no longer an amateur but is out for the monetary con- sideration Reinbart's motien was de- feated, and the delegates to the National Union will not be asked to have the pres- ent rules altered. A motion was made to have all the players who enter tne coming basebali tournament declared professionals, but it was tabied, It was brought up by the query of Leonard of the Reliance Ciub as to how 1t would affect his club if they en- tered. ‘When the election of officers came up the following were elected: President, W.

The registration of amateurs caused a discussion and a motion prevaiied in- structing the delegates to the National convention to try and have the registra- tion scheme entirely eliminated from the constitution. W. F. Humphrey's resignation was ac- cepted and he was again_elected to repre- sent the P, A. A, in the National board of governors, The Olympic was dropped from the roll. St. Mary’s College was also dropped. The ‘Acme Club was indefinitely suspended, vecause of its refusal to award the dis- pated fight to Frank Rafael.

At last night’s session of the San Fran- cisco Labor Council the following resolu- tion relative to Commissioner Fitzgerald's vi-it to Hawaii was adopted and orderel forwarded to him by Sccretary Rosenberg: WHEREAS, The Commissioner of Labor, Mr. Fitzserxid, upon his return from the republic of Hawail, in an interview coming from him or purporting to come from him, and pub- lished in the daily press last Wednesday, pro- poses that American workingmen shall emi- grate to Hawaii; Resolved, Tnat we ask him to state whether the contract lubor law of thet country has been repesled, Loes not that law provide for | specific’ enforcement of contracts to labor; that is, does not the law in the republic of Hawail provide that any one making a con- tract to labor must fulfill such contract on pein of imprisonment? Are not such con- iracts to labor generally enforced? Does not enforcement of such specific contracts to labor amount 1o slavery? If thess laws are yetin force, had not workingmen, though idle, bet- | ter walt before going to Hawali until the au- thorities in charge of those islands shall re- speet liberty sufficiently to repeal their slave laws? In discussing the adoption of the reso- lution Deiegate Scott said he believed the whole thing was a scheme in favor of an- nexation, that the isiands would be filled with Americans and upon the occasion of any trouble this country would be called upon for protection. A. Furuseth believed that there is enough lator in this country to fill the wants of every mar, and that it would be a wild scheme to emizrate to a new coun- try where men are now paid all the way from $8 to $10 per month. He thought the questions were pertinent and should be fully answered by Fitzgerald betore any action was taken. Furuseth also reported the result of the conferenca with the Governorin the case of 8. D. Worden. A wide discussion fol- lowed, but it was finally concinded that ending the gubernatorial decision any urther action at this time mighi be prejus dicial to his case. A resolution was adopted encouraging the Cigar-makers’ Union in the attempt to lessen the use of Chinese acd tenemeont | made cigars, and the members of the council were called upon to use their per- sonal influence 10 widen the use of tue blue label goods. From a union firm of Cincinnati was re- ceived a letter asking co-operation in an | effort to defeat the passage of a bill in- creasing by 2 centsthe internal revenue tax on tobacco. The -ecretary was in- structed to communicate in regard to the { matter with President Gompers of the Ameriran Federation of Labor. The Sailors’ Union reported that an ap- | peal had been filed in the United State: Circuit Court from Juage Morrow’s deci- sion in the J. D, Peters case. This is the case 1n which the Maguire law was de- ciared as not repealing al'otments (o sail- ors in the coastwixe trade. The conten- tion of the seamen is that the ailotments go to boarding masters instead of to sailors, Some aesnltory discussion was carried on anent the Government ownership of telegraph lines, but no action was taken.

We have a Vas: consumption <f 2,600,000 tons & year {a the United States, of which we only vroduce about one-sixth, and the Hawallan Isiaiias sends into our markets between 200000 ana 250,000 tons, and in Californ a we are producing not more than one-third of our own consumption. This year, I understand, fuly hait of the sugar from the fslands will go to New York, 80 at present I cannot ses wiere the sugsr of the hawailan Jsiands hampers the beet-sugar indus- try. Further than that, lei us see to what extent protection of sugar will assist the producer and the laborer.
