Flags of every nation on the globe— barring the banner of England and the dragon of China—were used to decorate the interior of the hall, while the ar- morial banners of the cantons of Switzerland lined the galleries. But few if any public gatherings held tn San Francisco have ever reached such proportions or been characterized with such enthustasm and honesty of purpose. Judge M. Cooney presided. He stated that he cheerfully accepted the honor and the responsibllity. He mentioned that an honorary president had been selected. After eulogizing the man, while keeping the audience in ignorance of his identity, he turned his face to the rear of the platform, where hung & big American flag, re- marking, “I will now introduce him to you.” The flag was dropped, and from behind appeared the grim fea- tures of Oom Paul, painted by the students of the Hopkins Institute of Art. Every person in the Temple D e S B R S “caught on’” in an instant and cheered to the echo. At the conclusion of the outburst the following resolutions were read: Resolved, By the citizens of San Fran- cisco, in mass-meeting assembled, that we most’ heartily indorse the patriotic and in- dependent stand taken by the inhabitants of the two republics of South Africa in de- be it further Resolved, That our active sympathies be, and they dre hereby, extended to the brave people who are so_ faithfully and success- fully fighting the battles of their country against the enemy of liberty, the mother of oppression and the diplomatic hypocrite of the nations.

A motion to adopt them was made and seconded, when out of the hum was heard a voice: “I offer as &n amendment that we extend some sym- pathy to the Fillpinos.” A mighty shout and seconds from all parts of the hall attested that the anti-expansion- st had struck a keynote. The chair- man, however, ruled that the meeting had not been called for that purpose and that Filipino sympathy was out of order. Telegrams were read from Senator Pettigrew of North Dakota, Rev. Dr. Parkhurst of New York, Congressman Charles A. Towne of Minnesota, Sen- ator Tillman of South Carolina, Sen- ator Mason of Illinois, Patrick Ford. Congressman Sulzer and General Laaae as b o s e e e e e ] [ R R R e e = O’'Blerne of New York, commissioner general of the Transvaal. The address of the evening was made by Judge Robert Ferral, who kept the American eagle and the audlence screeching and made the British lion how! with the pain from words that burned into his hide. In part he said: T am told that men of all nations are here to-night, speaking all languages—some not speaking the English language—but we can all join In a universal language, & cheer for the grandest old man of the closing century—old Oom Paul Kruger. Never since the dawn of time has thers been a gragder or a more manly struggle for lib- erty than the Boers are making to-day. Although every man of them may dle as herces and patriots, their names will live #s long as liberty and independence are loved and cherished by men. What would become of us if thers were not men willing to die that their country might live? England fs the *natural born reacher’ of nations. Centuries ago it reached out and strangled Wales, crushed the life and Iiberty out of Scotland, crushed life and liberty—but, thank God, not the hope—out of poor old Ireland, and now she !s reach- ing out for Africa. It s true, in the providence of God—and 1 say it before the picture of grand old Paul Kruger—it is time to call a halt and eay, “‘Stop your butchery and your plunder- ing, your greed and your conquest.”” And I hope in God that these men who are bat- tling now, these men who have so gallantly gone to the front, father and son and brother, to battle for truth and right, for country and liberty and independence—I hope and trust that the god of battles will &ive them victory. Miss SBannie Kruger, the niece of Oom Paul, was given an ovation. She sang the Transvaal national hymn, and for an encore “My Country, "Tis of Thee." Th. Pinter, who had been addressing the overflow meeting, elbowed his way down the aisle at this time and told what was happening outside. He told of some contributions that had been made, and suggested that the commit- tee would not get angry if there were some more. The hat-passing produced a jingle of silver that gladdened every Boer sympathizer. The collection amounted to $359 45, and in addition there were checks from the Iroquois Club, Mayor Phelan, Father Crowley of the Youths' Directory, J. W. Bhwarting of Dimond and Father Car- aher. Bpeeches in line with the addresa of Judge Ferral were made by Mayor Phelan, Father Caraher and Rev. J. Fuendeling. Joaquin Miller made a few remarks and recited a poem expressive of his sympathy with the Boers, which was published recently in The Sunday Call. Yuletide, “Christmas Melodies' .

Interpretation of State Street Laws. —_— LOS ANGELES, Jan. 8.—In the sult of the German Savings Bank vs. Ramish & Marsh, Los Angeles contractors, Judge Fitzgerald handed down a flat decision in favor of the defendants. The decision is of great importance, as it is the first to determine whether property held under lien by contractors for taxes for !mprove- ments can be foreclosed through negiect or refusal of abutting property owners to pay the assessment levied. The plaintiff based his case upon several points, sweeping In character. Among | other things it was contended that the sale of the property on the assessment was made at a time when the tax laws of the State provided that the property should be stricken off to the State. Sec- ond, that the Vrooman and bond acts, un. der which the grading was performed, did not afford an opportunity for hearing by mortgagees. Third, that the mortgaga llen was prior In time to, and therefora garamount and superior to, the bond lien, ‘'ourth, that the change of grade act of March 9, 1893, is unconstitutional, because | it requires an owner to state his'damages before thedamagesare actually sustained. | Fifth, that the contract between the con- | tractors and more than a guarter of the | property owners was fraudulent and in- validated the assessment lien. Sixth, re- quirements of certain sections of the | change of grade act were not complied with. Seventh, that the assessment is in- valid if It exceeds to any extent the ben- efit accruing to the land by reason of,the fmprovement. Eighth, that the notices were not posted as alleged. Ninth, that the descriptions are insufficient. Tenth, | that the change of grade act of March 9, 1863, was repealed by the recent amend- ment to section 6 of article 11 of the State constitution.

Slack of 3425 Twentieth street, who shot and killed himself last Thursday evening In the Davy Crockett saloon on Market street. Harry de Greayer testified that a few minutes before the shooting, Slack passed m in front of the saloon and remarked, ve lost my job and I'm going to kill myself.” - LOSES TS CASE a private room, and a few minutes later the report of a pistol was heard and Slack was found lving on the floor with a bullet wound in his head and the revolver by his side. The jury rendered a verdict of suicide. e FORGED A POLICEMAN’S NAME. Officer Dan Sy.l;rester Imposed On by a Clever Penman. Police Officer Dan Sylvester would like to find the man who obtained $20 from Hugo Fritz, a bartender at the Orpheum Theater Annex, on an order which pur- ported to have been signed by the guar- dian of the peace. Several days ago a messenger boy who {s commonly known as “Ikey” visited the Orpheum bar and handed Fritz an order for §20, which bore the name of Sylvester. Fritz asked the boy who had given him the order, and he promptly answered that he had been In- structed to deliver it by Sylvester, who 'was then in a saloon on_the water front. Thinking that the order was the bartender readily gave the amount asked for, after talllng him to lose no time in delivering it to Sylvester. The following day Fritz met the police- man and asked him if he had received the money. Bylvester at first thought that the bartender was goklnz. but on bein shown the forged order he almost fainted. Since then Bylvester and Detective “Harry” Reynolds have been searching for the man who wrote the order, but without success. The police believe that the messenger boy “stood in” with the forger. If the latter 1s captured it is more than lkely that the boy will also be arrested. HOW TO BUY DIAMONDS. A Good Suggestion by Colonel An- drews of the World-Famous Diamond Palace. First call at all the diamond establish- ments of San Francisco, and after making note of their prices go to the Diamond Palace. Then you can assure yourself that you can save at least 75 % by buying from the Colonel, as he has an Immense stock and s selling at the old prices. ¢ —————————— LAWTON FUND GROWS.

SEARCHED ROOMS ILLEGALLY e s ATTORNEY WILSON HAS BEEN ENGAGED BY PLAINTIFF. b Twenty Thousand Dollars Will Be Asked as Damages for Disturb- ance Created in the Quarters. sl e will bring suit early next week for $20,000 damages and costs of the action against the city and county of San Francisco, ex- Chief of Police Lees and the Chinatown squad for entering its rooms at 751 Clay street without warrant of law on the 6th da‘y of October last. The Shew Hing is a member of the Six Companies and is incorporated under the laws of the State of California. In the complaint which is being prepared by At- torney J E. Wilson the members of the association set forth that on the date mentioned the Chinatown squad forcibly entered their rooms, and ignoring the pro- tests of the president, who was present, broke open trunks and boxes and other- wise conducted itself in an offensive man- ner, all of which was for the alleged pur- Fose of searching for evidence of gamb- ing. no authority to enter a place that has not the reputation of being a gambling or lottery joint unless armed with a search warrant, and the suit is to be brought largely for the purpose of putting a stop to operations of this character. WOULD DOUBLE OUR TRADE. Professor George Davidson Suggests a Commercial Museum for This City. Professor George Davidson of the Uni- versity of California lectured before the Mechanics’ Institute last night on “The Commercial Museum of Philadelphia.” Professor Davidson visited the museum and attended the Commercial Congress last fall as a delegate from varfous of- ficial bodies of San Francisco and his lecture was an acount of what he saw there. In his description of the great museum the professor said that as an advertising medium for the merchants of this country and the products they sell it stands with- out an equal. Representatives from Berlin, who had been delegated to inspect the museum of Philadelphia, on their return home at once advocated the establishment of a museum of the same character. Manufacturers, who are members of the institution, can find within its walls the raw productions of all the countries of the world and by an elaborate index sys- tem can obtain complete information as to its cost, import dutles, tariff, etc., at a moment’s notice. The museum is the work of far-seeing citizens of the Quaker City, who suggested the plan and with the aid of the municipality and the State made it a reality. he museum is con- nected with every trade center of the world and kee?s an up-to-date record of the standing of the merchants and manu- facturers thereof. It receives reports from over 2000 foreign banks and has a list of 10,000 special correspondents, who keep the ‘museum thoroughly acquanted with the relative value of foreign prod- ucts as compared with those of the United States. Professor Davidson declared that such an institution in: S8an Francisco would make the city one of the greatest trade centers of the world. There is no rea- son, he declared, why the United States Should not control one-half of the f{m- mense trafic of the Pacific Ocean stead of the present small percen Philadelphia has offered this city duplicates of its museum samg;lel. and with only a branch museum San Fran- ¢lscd could look to the Pacific, with its great distance of shore line and innumer- Bble ports, for an immense increase of exports. 0.
