Pelagic Sealing Is “Petering Out” in the Bering Sea. J.

A meeting of representatives of leading | | Republican .clubs of this city was held | | last evening at 405 Montgomery street, | | pursuant to a call to organize and perfect | a plan for a grand torchlight parade In | | honor of Gage and Neff and the State | ticket to close the campaign. | The meeting was large and enthusias- | tic. Representatives from fourteen clubs were present. It was the consensus of | opinion of those present at the meeting that a grand pardde before the election to | fittingly close the campaign i this city | should be given. The meeting was called to order by E. M. Galvin. Mr. Galvin explained the objects of the | meeting, and t the Republican ticket | must win this year, and the only way to | bring out the latent strength of the party was to call out the clubs not only of his city but of surrounding towns. This®was | done in 1896, and did more than any other one thing to reduce a Democratic plu- rality of 11,000 to a plurality of 400 for McKinley. On motion of L. J. Warren Jr. the meet- ing elected the following temporary offi- cers: Chairman, E. M. Galvin; secretary, A, H. Burton. The chairman appointed J. Morrison, C. T. Caldwell and J. C. Austin a committee on permanent organization, and the com- mittee reported in favor of the election of the following officer: 5. M. Galy! | president; Colonel H. I. Kowalsky, first | vice president; Hon. Jullus Kahn, second | vice presid Hon. A. E. Treadwell, third vice president; secretary, Hon. A | secretary, John H. | Costigan; treasurer, Hon. 1. J.

Bachelder to proceed with the elec- tion of grand marshal for the parade. A. de la Torre Jr. was placed in nomi- | nation by Judge Bachelder for the posi- tion of grand marshal, seconded by A. H. | Burton, and there being no further nomi- nations Mr. de la Torre Jr. was elected grand marshal of the parade by a unani- mous vote.

GOOD COMES OUT OF EVIL THE SURPLUS STOCKS WILL BE READILY SOLD. A Remarkable Demand in the New Orleans Market Favorably Affects the Situa~ tion. “The vintage of '88 will prove to be one of the smallest in the recent history of the Stdte,” said W. J. Hotchkiss, secre- tary of the Wine-Makers' Corporation, which s composed of about 80 per cent of the wine producers of California. “Our advices indicate that the yield of dry wines is in the nelghborhood of 8,000, 000 gallons, as against 27,000,000 last year. Sweet wines will show about one-half the product of last year. “The falling off in the production is par- ticularly marked in Santa Clara County. ‘We estimate the output at 30 per cent of last year. The Jdecrease is due to ex- treme drought and the over-production of Tast year. Usually this district is one of the great producers. Climatic condi- tions were extremely unusual this year. For Instance, while Santa Clara has ylelded such a poor crop, owing largely to the lack of rain, Sonoma had good treat- ment from the weather clerk, and the re- sult is a comparatively heavy. yield. In respect to quality we feel confident that this vintage will be one of the best that famous old section has ever produced. At the same time the crop will be only about 45 per cent of that of '97. “In the Livermore district we estimate the yield_at about 400,000 gallons, as against 1,500,000 last year. Napa makes a poorer showing. This vintage aggregates about 500,000 gallons, as compared with about 3,000,000 in '97. Aside,from the So- noma County wine the quality, owing to the poor development of the grapes, will not be what was expected -or desired. That is, it will not be as full-bodied as the average product. At the same time ualities can be satisfactory. ““These facts have a fr&u_t bearing on the prospective crop of '99. The dry weather has prevented the proper growth of the shoots, which is necessary to the production of a good Crop next year, and furthermore district. We therefore look for a reduced yield in ’99, Chis is the dark side of the story, but it is a case in which good comes out of ev “The stocks of wine in the State do not ggregate over 16,000,000 gallons, and, while the production for the time being is decreasing, the consumption is increas- ing largely. The proof of this statement is_shown in the New Orleans market. Last spring we weat into that fleld and made arrangements . to sell direct from producer to consumer. The result is that whereas the average annual consumption there was 4,000,000 gallons, the sales dur- ing thé months of June, July and August were 2,300,000 gallons. mous i , and the promise is for a still greater demand. Incidentally it may be remarked that within the past few days the pricés in that market have ad- vanced 5 cents per gallon. “The satisfactory feature of the situa- | tion is the fact that before another large crop can be produced and made market- able, this 16,000,000 of stock will have gone into’ consumption. With the existing growing demand prices must necessarily advance, and good figures should be ob- tained for the RED CROSS SOCIETY IN ANNUAL SESSION AN IMPORTANT MEETING TO BE HELD TO-DAY. New Officers to Be Elected—Interest- ing News of the Workers in the Good Cause. At the annual meeting of the Red Cross So- clety to be held in Sorosis Hall, 1620 California street, this afternoon, the executive board for the coming year will be elected, s will the otficers of the organization. Interest attaches to the meeting, a8 it com- memorates the beginning of the’ good work in behalf of the-soldier boys during the past year. Appropriate speeches will be delivered and mu- sic and singing will add interest to the meet- ing. At the last sessiom of the executive commit- tee it was voted that $250 be added to a ltke sum already given to Major Rice to be used for the California boys In Manila.

Blanchard of 365 First street informed the officers of the Society. for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals that on the day before three poundmen lassoed his horse, and while taking the animal away they threw it down against the curbstone,. cutting its back and flank in a shocking manner. He had the horse examined by Dr. Creely, the veterinary surgeon, who a little later telephoned to the officers of the society that the horse is in a very bad condition from its injuries.

CHINESE BUREAU TO BLAME THEY FILED NO COMPLAINT TO DETAIN EER. Failed to Notify the United States Attorney or the Court That a Serious Charge Was Pending. The notorfous procuress, Fong Suey, dealer in Chinese girl slaves, made her escape yesterday by reason of incompe- tency or worse in the management of the Chinese Bureau. It is a clear cut case, and Chlef Mere- dith is unable to. givé anything like a satisfactory or even plausible explana- tion for his conduct In the matter. The woman was captured in thie rald by Federal officers last Tuesday under the direction of Special Agents Moore and Putnam. When the captives were taken to the Presbyterian and Methodist mis- slons Miss Cameron identified Fong Suey as the wife of Kwan Leung, former part- ner of Little Pete in the slave trade. Several Chinese girl inmates of the mis- sion also identified the woman as the one who had brought them from China and sold them to the keepers of bagnios in this eity. ‘When these facts became known to the Federal officials they refused to release the woman upon the production of her certificate of registration and ordered her to be held in custody for prosecution on the charge of being a procuress, the pen- alty for which offénse is imprisonment in the penitentiary for five years. The evi- dence was taken at the home by members of the bureau, but, strange and inexpli- cable as it may appear, the chief of the bureau neglected to inform the District Attorney’s office that he intended to pros- ecute the prisoner for that offense. He said not a word to the United States Mar- shal, not a word to Commissioner Hea- cock. In fact, he left every door open by which the woman might escape. The orig- inal warrant for being in the country without a registration certificate was the only paper that held her in custody, and the bureau chief knew that the nroduc- tion by her of her certificate of registra- | ion would be all that was necessary to procure her release. Yesterday morning Fong Suey and Leung Tsoy Wan were brought before Commissioner Heacock by a_ Deputy United _ States Marshal. No one appeared from the Chinese Bureau or from the District Attorney’s office to watch the case. A lawyer produced the certificates of the two women and had the original certificate of the procuress brought from the Internal Revenue Office. The Commissioner at once said that he would recommena their discharge. The prisoners were taken to the Mar- shal’s office and there kept until 2 o’clock in the afternoon, awaiting the opening of | Judge de Haven’s court, and the bureau orance of what was going on. At the hour named the report of Commissfoner Heacock was handed to Judge de Haven and the women were im- mediately released. When Major Moore, the Special Agent of the treasury, who had planned the re- cent raid, heard what had happened he was still in i | was furious and spoke his mind regarding the action of Chief Meredith, whose con- duct of the bureau has given rise to much | severe criticism and suspicions of wrong- doing somewhere within its sacred por- als. Officers were at once dispatched into Chinatown an hour and a half after the release of the woman, but she had too good a start, and they were obliged to return empty handed. She is expected to be in court this morning. It is expected that Major Moore will file charges_in Washington against Meredith for criminal negligence.

ANOTHER DEAL THAT AFFECTS WESTERN SUGAR Spreckels Sells to Pol- litz & Co. AFTER MUCH NEGOTIATION HAWAIIAN COMMERCIAL COM- PANY'S NEW MANAGEMENT. The 0ld Directorate Resigns and Pol- litz and His Friends Go In, No More Changes Contempated. One of the biggest deals of the season was consummated yesterday when Ed- ward Pollitz ® Co. and their business as- soclates assumed the directorate and business management of the Hawallan Commercial and Sugar Company, and the resignations of C. A. and Rudolph Spreckels and the rest of the old board of directors were announced. The retifing directors are; C. A. Spreckels, Rudolph Spreckels, M. H. Hecht, Mountford Wilson and Charles S. ‘Wheeler. The new board is composed of Edward Pollitz, Albert Mayer, Charles Sutro, E. M. Walsh and R. G. Brown. Since the early part of the year the members of the old board have been grad- ually diminishing their holdings of the stock of the concern. It has been their intention to retire from the business as soon as the change could be effected with- out In any way injuring the business through throwing the management into new and inexperienced hands. In the meantime Mr. Pollitz and his friends, knowing the worth and promise of the stock, have been gradually buying “! l‘lz and now control the major portion o ‘When asked yesterday for the reasons that caused the general resignation, Mr. Pollitz said: ‘“The resignations- do not come as a surprise, for the Spreckeis brothers announced at our last annual meeting, on the 1ith of May last, that they had been disposing of their stock and did not desire to be re-elected to the directorate, as they intended soon to withdraw from the company. As we were afraid to have the management go into inexperienced hands we' prevalled upon them to stay, agreelng that as soon as it could be done without jeopardiz.ng the interests of the company we would re-~ lieve them from their duties as directors. “Since that time they and their asso- ciates have continued to dispose of their stock, and a few days ago the last large block came into our office for transfer to my name and the names of my asso- clates. From this the old board inferred that we must now have control, and they requested that instead of being com- pelled to wait until May 1 to resign they | be permitted to do so now. This they did this morning in favor of my friends and myself, rendering an election un- necessary. “There will be no change in the work- ing force or the plans so far as I know now.
