At the afternoon session the reports of committees and officers were read and all were received with satisfaction. The report of Supreme President Lemos wus the most interesting of all.

The United States Circuit Court of Ap- peals handed down a decision Monda of the greatest imporiance, inasmuch as by it the revenues of the Government wiil be increased many hundreds of thousands of doliars per snnum. The case was to determine the disputed point as to whether tapioca flour should be admitted free of duty as such under the McKinley biil or whether it should be required to pay a duty of 2 cents per yound as starch, | Tuis flour is used almost exclusively in all the Chinese faundries in the United States, because of its cheapness, as starch, and it has been the most formidabie ob- | bo stacle to the starch manufacturing indus- try in the United States. By the decision of the conrt yesterday this obstacte will be removed. Heretofore the Secretary of the Treas- ury and the Board of Appraisers have been rendering more or less conflicting decisions on this matter. One case out of the twentv-three test cases was taken to the United States Court of Appeals in the New York district by Townsend & Co. In that case the court held that tapioca flour shoild come in free of duty unaer the McKinley considered as a starch. present case came up in this city about « year ago by the action of Collector of Customs W in cnarging the duty of 2 cents per pound. The Collector’s opinion was rever-ed by the Board of Appraisers. Then Assistant United Siates Attorney Knight 100k the cese 10 the Circuit Court ere, and Judge McKenna heid that the cision_of the Circuit Court of Appeals fof New York should stand. Mr. Knight then took the case to the C:reuit Court of Apueals bere, and yesterday was rendered the decicion wbich crowns Mr. Knight with a great legal victory and which will have its weight as = great helper for home industry. H. H. While, adjuster of duties, said vesterday that the decision saves to the | finished with a very iucid explanation of Government $250 000 in drawbacks at this port alone, not to mention the large sums 1o be saved at other ports of entry. Under the Ding.ey bill tapioca flour is obliged to pay a duty of 11 cenis per pound. It is not used for fiuman iood, being unfit for consumption, and 1s used only for starch in Chiness and other laun- dries, all that 18 necessary for the conver- sion into shirt ¢ tiffening being hot water, but it is a cheap product znd is far in- jerior to starch manulactured in the United States. Mr. White said yesterday that there was no doubt that the Secretary of the Treas- ury would approve the decision of the Circuit Court. Birdie Fox Has Fled. Witnesses in the case of Van A.

Man spent 6000 vears in crushing his fellow-creatures, and only in the present century has he caught the inspiration of controiling the forces of nature. It is man’s great desite to have power to con- tro: his fellow-men, and to this end ke is oending all nis energies. We who are workmg for epiritual power must have absolute faith in God and his holy word— the Bible. We bave no time to decide the ing of authentic of the Pentateuch or the authorship of Isaiah, but we do know that the Bible is the companion of the highest civilization, th- hignest standard of morals ana confessedly the most classic literature. We must aiso have faith in our mission as messenzers of God, and use practical personal effort.” Tbe annual election of officers of the association, which was then held, resulted as follow Moderator, L. W. Elliott of Stockton; clerk, B. C. Wright of San Fraucisco; treasurer, G. W. Frazer of Golden te.

G. W. ift of Stockton, who preached on *“What Constitutes a Son of God.” Dr. Swift’s sermon was iz part as follows: “God is a spirit, and necesearily spiritual, sons of G offspring are Not all men are 1, as no man 1s the son of God or brother in Christ until he is born of the Spirit. We know we are his s01s by con- sciousness and by the assurance of his word, but we do not know that state of glorions exesllence to which as his chil- dren we shall be raised. The central thought of this passage is that the charac- ter and mission of his chiidres is notiully manifest in this life. God does not ds- light in us as we are but as we shall be, when ou cters are comnpleted. “We aflirm that in the creation of the race God created an order of beings unlike ail other orders of created intelligences and their destiny was to be an oxaltation above all other created powers. This is | pledged 2nd secured to our race by the exaltation of our humanity to the throne of universal authority and our humanity heips to compose the present G dhead, and can there be a higher exaltation for us?”’ lo-day’s session will open at9:30 A.

Caspar Whitney, America’s stanchest and most persistent advecate and sup- porter of pure amateur sport, who for nearly ten years has been the athletic authority for Harper's Weekiy, arrived here Monday from New York, accom- panied by his bride. AMr. and Mrs. Whitney bave apartments at the Palace Hotel. After Caspar Whitney was last here, about two years agp, he roasted the Olympic Club for its disre- gard and evasion of strict amateur princi- ples. In a number of articles nublished about tha: time in Harper's Weekly he exposed other professional tendencies among presumably amateur organiza- tions in the Far West. And the Buite football team came in for 1ty st:are ot ad- verse criticism. Next to Walter Camp, the father of the gridiron game, Caspar Whitney is credited with being the greatest football authority in America. While his visit is primar! y for pleasure, he wil not neszlect any opporiunity to post himse f on athletic matters here. And it is not uniikely that the present status of the Olympic Club, because of its withdrawaifrom (he Amateur Union, will later be discussed by him in a published article. Caspar Whitney is not a stranger to Calilornia. In the laiter '80’s he was a student at St. Matthew's Hall, San Mateo. Mr. Whitney will remain in this city but a day or two. He expects to go to Vancouver, B. C. There he will sail for the Orient to hunt big gatae for a time in Siam and complete his knowledge of all varieties of huntine. e He Will Meet Any Heavy-weight Who Seeks a Fight on Merit, Peter Juckson cannot understand why Tom Sharkey and Joe Goddard should bave the call ov r him. *I am here to fight anybody,”” said Peter vesterday ternoon in Young Mitchell’s emporium of sport, in the hearing of numerous ptople who love to witness a great serap. “This man Sharkey may be a great fighter,” continued Jackson, *“perhaps he is. God- dard '.as been a great fizhter, and for all Iknow!e may bea great man yet, but how is it that they &il steer shy of poor old Peter? “I may have falien away fearfully since whipped Slav nin England, but I can- not really believe that I am in the ‘has been’ class until 1 meet some fellow who will satisfy me by the power of his fists that I have passel my days of use- fulness as a pugilist. I am here and Iam enjoying myself. 1 do not make any bones about it. 1drinkand feel good, but I think I can fight and feel good also. It Sharkey, Goddard, Corbett or any man in my line of business wants a try at ‘old’ Peter they can have it, and furthermore 1 will guarantee a good side wager when I am called upon to talk business.” —————— THE LATHERS' STRIKE. The Supreme Court Passes Judgment in the Mars Murder Case. The old Jathers’ strike of the spring of 1396 made its appearance again Monday in the Supreme Court, where it was set- tied forever. C. A. Mars ana his sons and several other non-union lathers were at work on a building on Welch street, when a body of union lathers, outon a strike, went to the place and compelied the men to stop work and get down from the scaffolding. This was not withont some difficulty, in which Mars was struck on the head with a blunt instrument, which injury directly or indirectly caused his deathi a week or so later. James Holmes, William Starr, D. Dunn, William Dowling, E. G. Waltz and W, McCoy, union lathers, were arre<ted and jointiy tried and convicted of involuntary munslaughter, and sentenced to one year's imprisonment in the State penitentiary, the smallest sentence that could be im- posed. From the judgment they ap- pealed, claiming that the verdict was er- roneous for insufficiency of evidence to support it, and to be, by reason of its form, either void or in effect an acquittal. When the verdict was first presented to the court it read, “guilty of 1nvo untary manslaughter, not a felony but the court ordered the jury to strike out the words ‘'not a felony.” which- was done. In this order the Judge of the Superior Court was upheld by the Supreme Court, as the two parts of the compound sen- tence contradicied each other, ana it w the duty of the court to explain the mis- take and have the jurors correctit. In this opinion, which Was given by Com- missioner Chipman, the conclusion was reached that the jury had no inteution ot tinding the defendant guiltless, for the extreme mercy of the court in passing sentence was recommended. The ques. tion of conspiracy on the part of the Lathers’ Union’s members was discussed at length and the law on the point given. In concinsion Commissioner Cnipman says: *‘The cass has had careful consid- eration, and as we find no error it is rec- ommended that the judgment be af- firmed.” The opinion was concurred in by Justices Temple, McFarland and Hen- shaw and Commissivner Haynes and Searls. - ——.,— SHARKEY HAS NOT SIGNED. Is Willing to Meet Goddard, but Has Made No Agreement. The Knickerbocker Ciub, through its master of ceremonies, announced at the fight night before last thata match had been made between Shark ey and Goddard. Sharkey, when seen yesterday, denied tuis and stated that, while he was willing to meet Goadard, he had as yet entered into no agreementto meet him, “And if I do meet nhim,” said Tom, “it is by no means certain that 1 would do so betors ihe Knickerb cker Club. I should fight before the club that offered the largest purse or the biggest percentage ot the gate receipts. I'm willing, but there’s nothing settled yet. At the annual meeting of the Master Plumb- ers’ Associntion held last week the following named were elected officers: Charles W. Ire- dale, president (re-elected); John B.

REAL ETATE NARKET REVIEW Expected Rise in Prices _ Tardy in Making Its Appearance, Reasons Why a Change for the Better Is Looked For by Dealers. Report of State Building and Loan Commissioners—Record Review, Sales and Notes, There has been little change in the lo- cal real estate sitnation during the week just past. The expected rise in prices seems to come rather slow. However, there are none of the dealers who do not propnesy better times in their line soon, and it s'ems to be a logical con- clusion, at least, that whether that change comes soon or late it will be for the better. The demand for property of small value as sites for homes seems steady enough and as has been remarked in these columns before, where thereis a steady demand it is in accordance with natural law that the prices rise at syme time or other. The building record continues good. The annuzl report of the State Building and Loan Commissioners shows the gross assets of the building and loan associa- tions in California to be $21,791,92: Real esiate appraised at §1,728,476 is inciuded in this amount. The confidence of capi- talists in the various institutions is shown by the fact that overdrafts are on hand in the sum of $1,508,438. The following is the building record for the iast month: Recorded contracts 64 $246.122 Unre corded contr 24 60,000 Total San Francisco con- tracts. 88 $306,122 l}‘r‘rnnén‘, 1896.

This interesiing society was organ- ized on October 8, 1895, and its growth has been waic:ed with deep interest by many, although comparatively few have fuilly comprehended the socie- ty'saims and principles, and concerning therm it has been szid by one who thor- oughly understands them: “It is dis- iinctly undersiood that the suciety is a firm though silent protest against the ar- istocracy which considers itself best be- cause it is highest on the tax list and bank list. There is not the faintest sug- gestion of an aggressive spirit, but tbe steady trend is against vplulecracy, arro- gance and the impertinent assumption of place.” This essociativn now has in its Cali- fornia branch twenty-scven members, and the meetings are always d-iightful reunions. Mrs. C. E. Brown and Mrs. George A. Crux both presented reports concerning the most important events that had transpired since last October. After all othier business had been trar- sacted, which included the re-election of Mrs. Seiden S. Wright as chairman, by acclomation, the meeting adjonrned. —_———— SPANIARDS LED INTO AMBUSH. Forces Plan a Raid on a Hospital, but the Cubans Rout the Assailants. NEW YOKK, N. Y., Oct. 5.—A special from Havana to the Sun says: A report comes from Santa Clara of an engagement at Rocas Colorados, in that province, in which the Spanish forces under Major ana Lieutenant Ramon | Fernandez fell iuto a trap prepared for them by the insurgents. The Spanish were going to attack a Cuban hospital which was near that place, but the Cubans learning their intention, removed their sick and wounded and women and children to a safer place in the forests. Then a strong guard was{ placed at the hospital, and ambuscades were prepared on either side. When the Spanish vanguard, composed of guerrillas of Calimete, led by Fernan- dez, arrived at the hospital the Cubans firel a single shot and then ran to the foresis in order todecoy the Spaniards to the place of ambush. The trick succeeded and a few minutes later a terrible charge on both sides surprised the Spanish. The yell of the Cubans “‘al machete’* and the suddenness o' the attack frightened the guerriilas, who took to their heels. The Cubuans made wholesale slaughter in the ranks of the panic-stricken Spaniards. Majer Anton narrowly es. caped and with him some soldiers, who were followed by the insurgents to the fort, in which they took refuge. The next morning Major Anton assassinated two pacificos on the outskirts of Santa Clara ana reported a victory over insurgents. ——————— Atruck by o Bolt of Lihining.

There isnolet up to the mental suffering day or night. Sleep is almost impossible, and under such a strain men are scarcely responsibie for what they do. For years the writer rolled and tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weakness until it was a question whether he had not better take a dose of poison and thus end all his throubles. But providential inspiration came to his aid in the shape of a combination of medicines that not only completely restored the generai health, but enlarged his weak, emaciated parts to natural size and vigor, and he now declares that any man who will take the trouble to send his name and address may have the method of this wonderful treatment free.
