Last Sunday, before the biggest audi- ence that had ever attended the games at Recreation Park, the Sand Crabs unmerci- fully defeated the San Franciscos. The game was not what might be termed a good one, for the reason that it was too one-sided; yet it brought to view two very important points, namely: that the Sand Crabs have improved wonderfully since their last appearance here, and that the San Franciscos instead of doing like- wise, displayed the same old miserable form. In the case of the latter I was not surprised, despite the fact that they haa only recently participated in a thirteen inning game. The form they displayed in that mem- orable contest I attributed to Providence, for I was ever of opinion that without practice a team cannot play steady ball. It is possible, as the San Franciscos clear- POSTED AS MISS The British Bark Midas, Now Out 189 Days From NG Nagasaki for This Coast, Has Been Given Up as Lost.

The San Franciscos were a long time in agreetg with me on this point. They were provokingly persistent in adhering to the methods employed by them at the out- set, which “play any money. Whether it was the awful drubbing eived at the hands of the Sana ast Sunday, or the fact that peo. ple only turned out to see good games, I am unable to state; yet the fact remains that the San Franciscos have finally con. descended to practice. They not only condescended, but really did turn out to a man on Tuesday aftes- noon and worked like demons. This little piece of news will no doubt shock some of their supporters, and 1 might have done better had I conveyeu the news more gently, but it was beyona me to remaln silent ionger, and the relier resulting, 1 assure you, is astonishing. However, I am not supposed to tell my own troubles in this article, and that, by ;he‘ way, is something I regret exceeed- ngly. That the San Franciscos are practicing certainly is news of a cheering nature. The fans as well as myself have long wished for it, and now that it is a reality an opportunity of gau the team and its probable standing is as- sured. This, however, must be left open for a brief period, or at least until we are certain that the team intends a pursuance of its present methods. 1 can say tnis much, however. If the team continues to practice at least two days out of the week and secure the services of another good pitcher their chances of bringing up the tail end will no longer be looked for. 1 was so tgken up with their game that I spoke to their manager and dskea him how he accounted for the splendid show- ing of his team. ‘“Practice.” he sald; “nothing more. I came to the conclusion that to win games my team must prac- tice, and so called the boys together and told them so. I at the same time told them that they must meet at my office twice a week and that I would have car- riages to take them to and from the grounds. I also placed a fine of $ on any one (ailmi to put in an appearance; and another thing, I went with them to the grounds and saw that they did practice. The results you have seen.” This version of the team’s improvement should speed them on. There is no reason in the world why they should not accomplish what the Sand Crabs have. Last Sunday they were shut out by them, and no one was in a better position to understand the reason.and to see the wonderful improvement than myself. If the reason was not fully understood Mr. Swanton's statement should convey it. if the managers of the San Franciscos would adhere to his policy they would be a good team and a drawingcard. If they are not ambitious enough to take these steps in the hops of lmgro\'ing the team, self pride should spur the boys on. One day's practice is far from being sufficient. A team must practice con- tinually, and, if this be {mpossible, at least two days of the week should be devoted to it. Don’t give up yve “Blue Ribbons”” now that the important wosi is on. Stick to it, and it won’t be long before big crowds will be in attendance whenever you play. You were just on the verge of destruction. Yet providence has been kind, and don’t prove yourselves unfirate(ul by practicing once or twice and then giving up. And when you do practice be sure that every man is placed in his proper and permanent position. Put players in certain positions and kee them there. Don’t be changing around, it demoralizes a team and spoils a player. Hurrah for the Blue Ribbons! Advances made on furniture and planos, with or without removal. J. Noonan, 1017-1023 Mission.

A LARGE SHORTAGE FOUND MORE SHINGLES USEu THAN WERE, PURCHASED. Derham Wants the Election Teachers to Take Place in Open Meeting of the Board. of President Barrington submitted to the Board of Education last night the report | of the experts appointed by him to in- | vestigate the lumber frauds unearthed by the Grand Jury recently. The report, | as stated by Mr. Barrington, was badly jumbled up and prepared in a great hurry. His apparent haste to get it be- | fore the Grand Jury, which was seconded by the other members of the board, ap- | pears to be the only reason for its present incoherent state. About all that could be made out of it {was the totals, which showed that the | department had purchased 724,407 feet of lumber during the last fiscal year, and | the experts could only trace 649,714 feet, llea.\ ng a shortage of 74,693 feet. The president, however, reduces this shortage | by 15,000 feet by explaining that that | amount was used at the Durant School and not credited by the experts. The experts also found that the de- | partment had used 350 more shingles | than had been purchaseé during the year. which bills have not yet been recelved. { As the report only covers ‘the last fiscal | year, no reason can be gned for hold- ng back the bills for these shingles near- | ly a month unless it be that the depart. ment had so far exceeded the appropria- [tion for last year that it is endeavoring to hold back some of its expenditures to | the present year. While the report cuts down the lumber | deficit found by the alsinterested experts | employed by the Grand Jury, still an ad- | mitted shortage of 58,408 feet (accepting | Barrington’s accounting for 15,000 feet as correct) shows some pretty rotten work, without taking into consideration the dis- crepancy and the quality and consequent cost price of the lumber, which the | board’s experts considerately | from touching upon. | | The following contracts for repairs were awarded: J. F. Byrne, for graining Web- ster School, $136, and Lincgln, $189; E. W. | Fuller, brick work on Washington Gram- mar, $112; Conlon & Shipman, for paint- ing and kalsomining, $2%5; same firm for | Mr. rington had this explanation to offér for the apparent miracle.

Abrahamson, | §or ventilators for Wa 197. Director Derham presented the follow- ing statement and amendment to the rules which caused considerable consternation among some of the directors. Under the | rules it went over for a week: members of this board have been re- d by the chairman of the elementary shington Grammar, u q | committee to give to him the names of teachers to He be appointed to places in the department. ates that there will be vacancies on the list and the committee intends to mend that they be filled. To my mind the necessity for the appointment, and the ap- | pointment of any teacher, i{s of sufficlent im- | portance to require the consideration of the entire board and should be taken out of the hands of any committee of the board. I desire at this meeting to submit for adop- | tion an amendment to the rules making the | appointment of any teacher a matter of open board proceeding. The name of the director who proposes an applicant for appointment in the department should not be withheld; it is information to which the public is entitled, it should be a matter of record and was & mat- ter of public record for years prior to the change of rule by this board. Scores of teachers have been appointed and our board records fafl to show the name of the director responsible for each appointment. A reform in the procedure of electing a teach- er is necessary; it 's tardy, perhaps, but I hope that the board will effect it. | "1 ask for the adoption of the amzudment to the rules: | Avhen any vacancy exists in the teaching force of the department, such vacancy shal be reported to the board by the committee hav- ing charge of the department in which it ex- fsts following ¢ the board desires to fill such vacancy, | nominations for the election of a teacher shall be made in open board and the name of the | nominating director and the vote on such elec- tion shall In all cases be recorded in the min- utes of the board and the name of the nom- inating director shall also be of record in the book kept for that purpose. | ““Unassigned teachers or regular teachers temporarily not in charge of a class, shall be placed at the head of the substitute list of the department and shall be considered as a part of such substitute list.”” Director Ragan presented a long re- port on needed changes in the course of study in the high schools, and the boara decided to hold a speclal meeting nexu Monday night to consider the matter, and also the progress of work on the Mission High School. It was decided to build a new class | architect was directed to prepare plans for it. DEMOCRATS WILL MEET MAGUIRE PREPARATIONS MADE TO WEL- COME THE CONGRESSMAN. Reception to Be Given at Metropoli- tan Temple on the Evening of His Beturn. The final preparations for the reception of Congressman James G. Maguire upon his return to the city the last part of this or the commencement of next month were arranged last evening by the Democratic Central Club, and the programme for rendition at Metropolitan Temple thal will succeed the informal reception at the ferry outlined. It was definitely de- cided to invite the various Democratic or- ganizations of the city to participate in the affair by sending their representa. tives as deputies to the regular commit- tee appointed to receive the Congress- man upon his arrival in this city. A parade consisting of the members of the regular Democratic and various ather clubs will be formed in front of the Pythian Castle on Market street, and will act as an_escort from the ferry to Met- ropolitan Temple. A resolution upon the necessity of ar ranging the date for the Democratic State convention In the near future was in- troduced and unanimously adopted. It reads as follows: Whereas, The success of the Dem: party In this city and State depends xogg?:l‘; 1l and fair discussion of the issues of the day: and whereas, the date for the meet- ing of the Democratic State convention has not yet been fixed. and feeling the importance of an early campaign in order to furnish time for a full discussion, the time for the meeting of sald State convention should be set at as early a date as possible; therefore be it Resolved, That the Secretary of this club communicate with the chairman of the sub- committee of ‘the State Central Committee, having jurisdiction of said matter, and request him to convene his committee forthwith and fix an early date for the meeting of sald con- vention.

C.: “This depot does not and has not knowingly, during my incumbency, employed Chinese labor on uniforms or anything else manufactured or contracted for here. On two early contracts, made some weeks ago, I discovered that Chinese labor was being employed, and immediately canceled contracts. Representa- tives of labor organizations visited me, and, after explanation, ex- pressed themselves as perfectly sat- isfied. I invited them to investigate and assist in ascertaining which contractors employed Chinese labor and stated that I would at once an- nul contracts.

It has all developed from the effort made by the labor organizations of this | city to force the men who were awarded | Government contracts for army uniforms | to employ white labor. They turned the bulk of the work over to Chinese, thus depriving thousands of white men and women of the opportunity to make a liv- ing. The first complaint came from the women, who called attention to the fact that Chinese were employed on Govern- State. | Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald Investi- | gated the complaint, found it a just one, | and referred it to Congressman Maguire at Washington. He in turn referred” it to the War Department. Secretar- Alger | commenced an investigation through Quartermaster General Ludington. In due course of time the complaint again reach- ed this city. This time it was received by Major Long, the quartermaster in charge of the Department of California. | In reply he indorsed it, with the state- ment that he had canceled the contracts, | and that business men of San Francisco had offered him indorsement of his course. The fact that contracts made with Chi- nese had been canceled was called to the attention of the Chinese Minister at ‘Washington. The following correspond- ence, which gives the affair international importance, is self-explanatory: Department of State. WASHINGTON, July 12, 1838. His Excellency the Governor of California, Sacramento, Cal.—Sir: 1 have the homor to inclose herewith a copy of a note from the Chinese Minister at this capital, in which he the | to Quartermasters’ Department of the arm; contractors in San Franclsco for army cloth- ing not to employ Chinese in the manufacture of such clothing, thus making a discrimina- tion against his countrymen, in contravention of the treatles between the United States and China. The Minister adds that Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald of your State has assumed the po- gition that none of the labor under these con- tracts should be given to Chinese, and that the commissioner is gathering information as to what portion of the contracts is being exe- cuted by Chinese, with a view to rescinding the contracts of stopping payment thereon. I beg to request that you will cause an in- vestigation to be made of the Minister's com- plaint, and that you will inform the depart- ment of the result. Respectfully yours VILLIAM R. Inclosure: From Chinese Minister, No. July 5, 183 8, Chinese Legation, WASHINGTON, July 5, 1598, Hon, Willlam R. Day, Secretary of State— Sir: I deem it my duty, as the representative of my Government, to bring to your attention certain events which have transpired In the city of San Francisco, to the serious injury of Chinese subjects lawfully residents in the United States, and entitied by treaty to the peaceful pursuits of their industry. It appears that the War Department of the Unitefl States has let out contracts to certain | firms in San Francisco for the manufacture of clothing and other supplies for the United States Army, and that some of these firms | have found it necessary or convenient to em- ploy Chinese to perform the labors in execu- tion of such contracts. As a result of this employment a great outcry has been raised by certain labor organizations and other persons | evil disposed toward Chinese laborers, and it is understood that orders have been given officials of the t | . ..

It is reported, for Instance, in the San Francisco Examiner of May 23 last that Major Oscar F. Long, assistant quarter- master of the United States Army, under whose authority contracts were made, bas publicly made the following statement om- plaints have been made to me that Chinese labor has been empioyed in making_some of these garments (army clothing). For this offense 1 have called two contractors before me and rescinded their contracts with the Government. 1 have told the representatives of labor that if they bring the proof I will rescind the contract of any merchant who em- ploys Chinese labor in filling Government con- tracts.” A similar declaration of Major Long ap- peared in The San Francisco Call of June 1, and other newspapers of that city confirm the correctness of these reports. It also appears that Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald has assumed the position that none of the labor under these contracts should be given to Chinese, and that he is employing his subordinate officers in gathering information as to what portion of the Government con- tracts are being executed by Chinese, with a view of rescinding the contracts or stopping payment on the same. Statements to this effect will be found in the issue of the news- papers already cited. It would hardly seem necessary to recall to you the fact that my Government, out of def- erence to the wishes of that of the United States consented to amend the treaty which allowed free immigration of Chinese subjects into the United States, and agreed to the laws which henceforth prohibited the coming of all Chinese laborers, and in return thereof the Government of 'the United States solemnly stipulated to extend to the Chinese subjects in and the free enjoyment of all the privileges and rights granted to the citizens of the most tavored nation. 1 feel sure that you will agree with me that the conduct of Major Long and Labor Com- missioner Fitzgerald is in direct violation of the spirit and letter of the treaty, and that the President, upon this note being brought to his attention, will order an investigation to be made in the respective department with a view to putting an end to the iilegal and un- just discrimination sought to be enforced against the Chinese subjects lawfully in the United States. I shall be pleased to be in- formed of any steps which may be taken to this end. Accept, sir, etc., WILLIAM TINGFANG. Adjutant General's_Office, SAN FRANCISCO, July 20, 1398 Hon. E. L.

Fitzgerald yesterday. | “I am glad that it has assumed this wider | scope. It is pleasant to know that for | once the appeal of labor has reached the | ears of men high in authority at Wash- | ington, even though it was through the | instrumentality of Chinese. “My report to the Government will be an exhaustive one. It will embrace every particle of correspondence, testimony and evidence collected by myself and my dep- uties. It will be farreaching and will have the effect of placing the work where it belongs—with the women who are clam- oring for a chance to earn their living. It will correct all the wrongs they have suffered at the hands of the quartermas- ter's department. “Major Long will have to explain why he sent the telegram saying that con- tracts were canceled.
