The bulk of the Exceisior's gold has gone to the Selby Emelting Works, and as stated yesterday, most of it was depos- | ited there a few bours after the steamer's arrival. of the deposits, While there are many buyers of gold bullion in San Francisco the positories mentisned receive practic w” gold coming to San Franci from the Kinnaike, and their total receipts are a conservative estimate of the gold shipped from the Yukon. The deposits at the Selbv Smelting Works are vaguely s uted to be about $300.000. This, added to tue deposits at the Mint, would give a little over $400,000, with the stray nuggets and sacks o. uust brought down yet to be report~ There were fifty-two “Klondikers” smong the passengers on the Excelsior and more than hati of them are domiciled at the Commercial Hotel, which has long The rest are scattered by twos, threes and half dozens among the other hotels of the city or among friend-.

Big Fees to Assist in the Defeat of the Ends of Justice—And the Traffic Goes On, License Collector Bonnet has a big job on his hands, in consequence of a victory won by him at the meating of the Board of Supervisors on last Monday afterncon. At that meeting order 3099, relating to the sale of opium, was repealed. The ordi- nance in question prohibited the sale of opum except by licensed druggists, and only upon the prescription of a recog- nized physician. The order was, of course, aimed at the Chinese dealers, but the Chinese ignored it and thers was no cessation of the salc f the drug. When Bonnet w it into office he started out to collect licens - from the denizens of Chinatown, but at the outset found him- self confronted by the prohibitory order. An investigation soon developed the fact that the sale of the drug was in no wise restricted and ihn License Collector an- nounced his intention of having the or- der rescinded. Tbis news was received in Chinatown and created some little con- sternation. A prominent firm of attorneys was con- sulted and the counlerence resulted in one of the most remarkable contracis ever entered 1nto in this city, signed by twenty-four of the most imporiant firms Chinatown, he document guarantees the Mon- golian dealers immunity from ti.e law in the sule of opium for the term of a year. It provides that no license shall be paid auring that period, and that the attor- neys shall receive $400 a month if tbe provision is carried out, If any license 18 paid, the ramuneraiion shall be but $250 a moath. Whichever way the cat jumps the attor- nevs have a sure thing, and owing to the slow process of the courts it is possible tnat if an arrest is made it can be dragged along for a year and the salary ot the at- torneys can proceed at the same iime. The repeal of order 3099 leaves standing the original order licensing the sale of opium. Tuis ordinance has been in force since 1881, and not a single dotiar has ever been collected on it. The $4800 for lawyer's fees has been cheetfully subscribed by the merchants, irrespective of the tongs they belong to. The contract may be & good one for the attorneys, but it means more broken bearts, the ruin of more unfortunates and more slate homes for san Fraucisco. MINSTRELSY FOR CHARITY Members of Borromean Council Enter- tain the Visitors to the St Charles Fair, The miostrel show given by Borromean Council No. 129 of the Y. M. 1. at the St. Charles Fair last evening drew one of the largest crowds the Mission Turner Hail has held during the past week. ‘Thirty members of the covncil took part the entertainmeni, and their efforts were reccived with much applause. Thne programme rendered was as follows: Opening chorus by Borromean Council tambo and bones overture, Dr. J. P, Mc- %‘nnhy and Thomas J. Byrnes, bones, and W. Sieberst and Paul B.

It Was Discussed by the Charter Com- mittee at Last Night’s Meeting. The Charter Committee of One Hun- dred resumed tne consideration of the legislative commdt ee’s report last night. | Hugh Craig wes in the chair and bis rul- ings were made with a view to expedite the business of the evening, but at times it looked as if they had the opposite effect and prolonged the discussion. That chapter of the report ralating to the power f the Supervisors was taken up. An attempt was made by the mi- nority to have the substitute of Dr. Tay- ior, which was lost at the last meeiing and which resiricted the power of the Supervisors, taken up on reconsideration* but the attempt was a failure, Mr. Craig casting the deciding vote against it. A section relating to the establishment of crematories and cemeteries was stricken out, as 1t was thouzht to be an attack on tne vested rights of the property-owners, A section reguliting and defining the rale of hire for carriages and other vehicles shared ihe same fate. In all thirty-three sections were considered, several unim- portant changes teing made. It was de- cided to l.aye the next meeting on next Tuesduy evening. B O BUILD NG 'IF.nDES COUNCIL.

Diego snd Riverside, FOUND DEAD ON THE FLOOR Andrew M. Hepburn As- phyxiated in His Room Last Night, Supposed to Have Been Caused by a Defective Gas Jet.’ Was Connected With E. A, Janssen in the Manufactnring Station- ery Business. Andrew M. Hepburn of the firm of Hep- burn & Jaussen, manufacturing siationery dealers, was found dead on the floor of his room in his residence at 2937 Sacra- mento street yesterday morning at 6:30 o'clock. Before retiring last night, he, together with his wife and Mr.and Mrs. some wine. In the morning at 6 v’clock, Mrs. Pow- ell, who lives in the house, detected a strong odor of gas while walking through the hallway. She went to Mr, Hepburn’s room, and, receiving no answer tu her knock, opened the door and walked in, but the gas almost asphyxiated her and she returned to her rocm, where she fainted on the floor. Mr. Powell then en- tered the room, where ne found Mr. Hep- burn on the floor near the bed, with blooa flowinz fromw a small scalp nound Drob- bey nflicted when he had fallen to the or. Dr. M. H. Logan was immediately sent for, but he stated that Hepburn had been dead for at least an hour. The Coroner was notified, but after inves:izating the case allowed the body to remain at the residence, as be thought it clearly an ac- aident and not a suicide, stomach troubles for weeks past, and it is supposed that in the attempt to take some medicine during the night he had left the gas partially turned on, as the jet was out of order. On smelling the odor of gas he had attempted to rise to shut it off, but was overcome and fell to the floor, where he was asphyaiated. The window of his xoom was parily opened. Mr. Janssen denies that Hepburn was a member of the firm, name of Hepburn was placed on the list for the reason that he wasa well-known along. Although Mr. Hepburn was at one time connected with the firm he was financiaily unable to carry his portion of the business, and acted as a clerk and traveling salesman for the last yearand a half. Mrs. Hepburn is an invalid and occu- pies a room with a nurse. She iscom- pletely prostrated over the affair. Hepburn has recently been declared in- solvent, and for that reason a report of suicide had been circulated, but jv is em- phatically denied by friends ana relatives that he could have committed suicide, as the financial embarrassment was only trmporary and would have been straight- ened within a few weeks, Hepburn, who 48 years of age, was born in Atbany, Y.
