Hirbor Dredging the Coatract and In‘erccunty Tuanel Proposition Also C:nsider:d, OaxrAND OFrIcE SAN FrANCISco CALL,) 808 Broadway, June 18. | The Oakland Board of Trade favors the annexation treaty presented to the Senate this week, regarding the Hawaiian Islands, and at a meeting this afternoon adopted a resolution directing the execu- tive committee to prepare and forward to the California Senators in Congress suit- able resolutions to show them their atti- tude. As this body has a membership of over 400 representative business men as members, representing everv section of the county, it gives a fair idea of how the matter is looked upon in Alameda County. The prevailing opinion appears to be that annexation is the best way to avoid further and maybe worse complications. In expressing themselves on the subject it was shown that the impression pre- vailed practically a protectorate of the United tates, and in case of any difficulty with otier nations this country would be duty bound to fight its battles. This being «o, it was thought best that the isiands should be annexed and notice given to | the world at large that every one must keep nands of The board also received the following letter ana relerred it to the tunnel com- mittee: In accordance with your request I have ex- amined the approaches to the proposed tun- nel through the divide between this county and Conira Costa County, and respectiuily re- port that Mr. Nusbaumer, County Surveyor, courteously furaished me iith a copy of his survey on the Alameda County side, sud Mr. o rveyor of Onelda Park, ra Costa County, gave me valusbie data nnedy. the abie or the old tunnel and grade,gave me valuable daa,and others smong thew, Mr. Ballard and Mr. Mariin, who con- firms my judements that the floor or grade of the proposed mew tunnel should be at ieast 200 ‘eet lower than that contemplated for the old tunael.

OARLAND Orrice SAN FRANCISCO CALL,) 408 Broadway, June 18. | The two suits against Josiah Ames, one for an accounting for property handled by Ames and the other for the return of $48,- | 500 worth of bonds, have dragged his fam- ily affairs into the courts. 1t is probable that the trial will bring some interesting reading matter up. Many depositions have been taken at different times. The defendant’s is one of the most interestine. He gives the age of Mrs. Ann Harris, his sister, as 81 years, and says she was worth | approximately $450,000 when they came to California. Of this sum Mr. Ames on the trip carried $20,000 in the shape of a draft. Mrs. Harris a'so owned thirty shares in the South American Cable Com- pany, which he transferred to his name at | her suggestion. He declares that later he reconveyed this stock to hissister. He then comes down to Mrs. Harris leaving | his restdence, when all the bitterness was brought about. The deposition then reads: | Question—Under what | she cease to live in yo ouse? Answer—On Wednesday morniag | me, “T want that kind of work stopped.” | “What kind of work?” I said to her. 7 she says, “your wife is dishonorable and she | is making Everect a rogue.” I resented 1s. | That s all there was and that is why she left my house—nothing to do with financial mat- ters at all. | He then goes into detaii of the cettle- ment of accounts, with a brief reference | to the $48,500 worth of bonds in dispu | He denies threatening to contest his sis- | ter’s will if he was not provided for as he desired. He further asserts that his sis- ter voluntarily agreed 1o g bim the bonds and his brother ons~. Each brotner was also given $25,000. H - mits receiving the face vaiue of the bonds, but claims to have pait Mrs. Harris §15, 000 on them. In September, 1896, he de. clares Mrs, Harris gave him a receipt in | full, 1t being the fourth ot its kind. Mrs. Harris’ deposition differs material- ly from that of her brother. HER LOVE OF DRESS. McLellan's Compnred That of Mrs. by Former's Musband. OAKLAND, Caw., June 18.—The love o dress has cavsea the downfall of Mrs. Mec- Lelian. She admits it and her husband tells of her neglect to himself and chil- dren in order that she might go to a ball and show anew dress. Mr, McLelian is deeply touched by affair, but declares | that it is a case similar to that of Mrs, Castle in London. “I believe my wife is subject to mania for fine dresses,” said Mr. McLellan at the jail this afternoon. *Her case is like that of Mrs. Castle. She is fond of society and her highest ambition seems to be the bext-dressed lady at every place she goes. She would let the children go and spend money on dr She 1x a great hand to goall ot the time, butIam dif- ferent. “After leaving me at home with the ch dren and going to a party or ball, she would repent and say that she was sorry. recumstances did she says to Mrs. Cage to Custle the Inside of three days shie would repeat the thine.

The decoration committee presented an extensive report for the decorations for{ convention week. Possibly the most striking feature will be a large arch, fifty | feet high, which will be erected across Market street opposite the Emporium. This arch will display a large number of nd other designs, worked out in electric lights. The carpentering for this | arch was awarded to Campbell & Pettis, the etectric work to the Emporium Com- | pany and the work of painting and deco- rating to Stein. The front of the Mechan- | ics’ Pavilion will display elaborate deco- rations. Across the top, just under the eaves, will appear an immense sign 200 feet long and sixteen feet high, with the words, “Sixteenth International Christian Endeavor Convention.” Beneath the cen- ter of this sign will be suspended a large C. E. monogram. This monogram may be worked out in electric lights. Oa either side, over the entrance, will te painted scenes wherein the Golden Gate and the California vear will be given prominent positions. Underneath these scenes and on each side of the door will be other C. E. monograms.
