The tople was fully discussed at the Palace Hotel yes- | terday in a prolonged conference, in which Governor Gage, Mayor Phelan, Henry T. Scott and others participated. The Call has heretofore insisted. that vigorous sanitary measures should be adopted to cleanse and purify the Chinese quarter. Then the objection was raised {that the city had no money to pay for the clean-up. At the conference yester- day the lack of funds was again put for- ward by the Mayor as an excuse for de- | 1aying the proposed work. After long and earnest discussion of the various meas- | ures to provide the necessary funds, the Governor came to the rescue of the mu- nicipal authorities with a proposition to advance the money from the sum recently appropriated by the Legislature to insure the enforcement of sanitary regulations in California. This offer was readily ac- cepted. % It is understood that the clean®up In Chinatown will be systematic and effec- tive. The health authorities, under who: direction the work must be prosecute will not merely eradicate a bad spot here and there and then abandon operations; on the contrary, the scope of fumigation and general sanitation will embrace the entire district which is densely populated The work will not be sus- is by Chinese. pended until NORTHERK LINES MAKING COMPACT Companies in Alaskan| Trade Arranging to Pre- serve Fixed Rates.

This ich admitted by gentlemen whose nnection with the corporations that have been mentioned gives them informa- i tion of the progress of negotiations. At the same time they strenuously deny that an agreement on all points has yet been reached 8 There was trouble of various kinds on the Yu n River and at Cape Nome last here were differences concerning senger rates were slashed n in supplying the needs of {he miners was quite keen. Then strikers | interfered with the plans that were made. Altogether, so say the transpo tation and trading companies, the con- ditions were unsatisfactory. Recently Seattle business men have been in San Francisco, trying to bring about an agreement for the common benefit of the | steamship men and the supply agencies. It was advanced here as an argument that San Francisco interests would profit by having uniform rates, and this has ap- peared to strike the local partles most in interest to be the fact. The North American Commercial Company is not in- | cluded in the parties conferring, and is not concerned because it deals only %n | coal at Dutch Harbor, and has no interest in the general trade in provisions and sup- | plies for the north. When the agreement is in operation the trade of Cape Nome, Port Clarence, St. Michaels, Dawson and the river trade of the Yulon generally will . regulated to the satisfaction of ail the companles. The bulk of the trade of | the north and-far northwest is carried on by the five companies mentioned in the foregoing. red teeling comes over you, drink | AA” whiskey.

G i e e e e ) EFFORT TO ABATE CHINESE SLAVERY Conference Between Inspec- tor North and Attorney Woodworth. nited States Immigration Inspector North and United States Attorney Wood- worth held a conference yesterday upon the subject of Chinese female slavery in this district and the mode of abolishing it. Both gentlemen came to the conclusion that it will be a difficult matter for the Federal authorities to accomplish their object for the reason that nine out of every ten of the female chattels are so by choice and that the others will deny the fact that they are slaves. All that can be done by the Federal authorities would be to arrest all Chinese women res a charge of being illegally in the country. Then the women will produce their pa- pers showing that they have a right to be here, and this will necessitate their discharge. may be accomplished by making such ar- rests is that some of the women may have gained a landing through false represen- lons, in which event they will be de- orted. mentioned as an instance of Chinese meth- ods of working. In that raid twenty-seven women were arrested and all produced their papers. They were released. It is the unanimous opinion of the Fed- eral officials that the police can abate the evil by arresting these women for vag- lacing a police blockade at the entrance of the houses with instructions to arrest all male visitors under the State | laws. This is the way the police drove white girls out of Chinatown some years ago and the only effective way by which they drive lewd women out of respecta- ble neighborhoods. If the Chinese slaves are not permitted to ply thelr vocation they will become unprofitable and thus losé their commercial value. It was agreed that nothing would be done In_the matter until the return of United States Marghal Shine from the Cast. FIRE LIMITS ARE TO BE SLIGHTLY EXTENDED Ordinance Fixing i;pectnu' Fees for Altering or Erecting Build- ings Is Recommended. The joint Commiftee on Fire, Judiclary and Building reported yesterday in favor of extending the fire limits so as to in- clude the district bounded by Folsom, Howard, First and Steuart streets. It was proposed to make Sutter street the | dividing fire line and also to include Polk | street from Sutter to Jackson, but after listening to the protests of A. 8. Baldwin, representing the Crocker estate, J. C. Quinn and P. Boland, representing prop- erty owners on Polk and Sutter streets, the districts named were eliminated from the fire limits. A large number of interested parties ad- dressed the committee in opposition to the proposed ordinance fixing a schedule of inspection fees to be charged for alter- |ing or erecting buildings and providing for the issuance of permits therefor by the Board of Works. The committee, bowever, denied the protest and recom- mended the ordinance for passage. Attorney Foulds informed the commit- tec that the Market Street Railway Com- pany has agreed to reconstruct the road- way on Bosworth street so that the side- walks thereon will be ten feet in width. —_———— JAMES W.

The Judge held that the burden of proof that such a court of record was in existence was upon the prosecution and they had failed to do. so. He did not think it necessary to go into the question as to whether any one had been defrauded or deceived by Coop- er's use of the seal. If the complaint had stated “‘purporting to be a seal of a court of record” the case might have been dif- ferent. The proceedings on the writ of habeas corpus for Cooper's release were com- menced before Jucge Cook yesterday morning. Assistant District Attorney Deuprey asked for a continuance till the testimony taken before Judge Fritz could be transcribed by the stenographer of the court. The stenograpker was allowed ten days, and the time will not elapse for five days yet. Attorney Murphy, for the defendant, took an ‘exception 'to the sufficiency of the return made to the writ on the ground that the complaint against the defendant ald not state sufficlent facts to consti- tute a crime. He argued that the meaning of deceiving or derrauding a person by sending a false or forged telegram was in regard to something materfal. In this case there was nothing material, only the intent to marry. The Judge said he did not want to hear any argument from the Assistant District Attorney, as he was satisfied the inten- tion of ihe Legislature was to punish peo- ple for forging a telegram with the object of deceiving or defrauding another per- son. He referred to the difference in the punishment prescribed for forgery proper and for forging u telegram in suppot of his_coatention. He thought there was sufficient In the complaint to constitute a crime and he cverruled the exception. It was then agreed that the argument on the evidence would be made Tuesday morning, by which time the testimony will have been transcribed. A rumor was circulated yesterday that Nora Schneider had been married before she met Cooper and had not been divorced from her husband, but the police laugh at it and say that it emanated from Cooper for obvious reasons. CHIEF COUNSEL HERRIN PLEASED WITH HIS VISIT Returns From the East and Predicts a Great Future for Cali- fornia. William F. Herrin, chief counsel of the Southern Pacific Company, returned yes- terday from a flying tfip to Washington, D. C. He left San Francisco a little less than three weeks ago and returns satis- fled with his trip, but the nature of his business he declines to state. “From my observations, 1 believe that California is attracting the attention of the Eastern people,” said Mr. Herrin last night. “A visitor from this State is be- sieged with questions as to its resources, climafe and other matters of interest. I think the next decade wili see a wonder- ful increase in our business. 1 look for a great gain in Oriental trade. “I went East over the Central Pacific line and encountered snow, ice and bliz- zards. I returned over the Sunset route and there found a most striking change of climate. Everything was green, flow- ers were blooming and an overcoat was needless. It was just like a California spring day all the way. “While in Washington I had the pleas- ure of meeting President McKinley. He is enthusiastfc over his prospective trij to this coast, and I am sure that we will realize our gain later. With the influx of so many prominent people that will n.ecnn‘:gany him, I cannot but be im- pressed with thé fact that future legisla- tion in the halls of Congress will redound to_our material benefit.” Regard 'ng the recent changes in the manage nt of the Southern Pacific Com- pany, Mr. Herrin declined to enter into any extended discussion. “/A comparison with Eastern roads,” he said, “will result favorably to our system. True, we have not the population to draw upon as have the roads running through the more closely settled regions of the Eastern States, but In operation we ave equal to them. An aggressive forward policy will likely be followed by the new management, based on the demands of traffic.” ' RESCUED SLAVE GIRLS GIVE THEIR TESTIMONY Inform Grand Jury That No Attempt ‘Was Made by Police to Aid Them. 8ix slave girls rescued from the Chinese quarter gave ‘testimonv yesterday after- noon before the Grand .fury. Four of them were from the Presbyterian Mission and were under the chargs of Miss Donaldine Cameron. The other twu were escorted to the Grand Jury rooms by Miss Margaret Lake of the Methodist Mission. T'he testi- mony of the girls was in substance the same as given before the legislative committee several weeks ago. They testi- fled that they had been held in bondage and that no effort was made by the police to rescue them. It devclved on the agents of the Chinese missions to ald them in escaping. A Chinese babe two years old, rescued from a house of {ll repute several months ago, accompanied Miss Cameron's party of rescued slaves, After listening to tne testimony of the rls the jurors called Miss Lake and had er tell the story of the battle in a Jack- son-street den Thursday night, wha watchmen employed by the Chinese pre vented the rescue of a pirl who was anx- fous to go to the mission. The investigation inic Chinatown affairs will be resumed next Friday. —_———— BIG PRESBYTERIAN RALLY IN METROPOLITAN HALL | Rev.

Ao il Sergeants, corporals and patrolmen in the Police Department are all agog over the forthcoming examination before the | Civil Service Commissioners for promo- tipn. They are busy thinking over what they learned at school and storing their minds with problems In arithmetic and other elementary subjects. Some of them, such as Sergeant Conboy, are calmly awaiting the ordeal, but others are losing flesh through worry and deep study. The adjourned meeting between the Civil Service Commissioners and Police Com- missioners to decide upon subjects of ex- amination and marks to be allowed for “‘distinguished service,” “highly meritori- ous service” and ‘‘good and efficient ses vice” was to have been held yesterday afternoon in the office of the Police Com- missioners, but there was no quorum. Those present were Police Commissioner Mahoney and Civil Service Commissioner Freud, besldes Chief Suillivan and the secretaries of ‘the two boards. The matter was talked over informally and it was decided that the Civil Service Commissioners would submit the rules governing the examination with marks for service of the three grades shortly to the Police Commissioners, for their approval, so that the examination, mental and hysical, can be held in the near future. | To-day’s Candy News.

Carreno was glven last evening at Sherman-Clay Hall to a crowded house. The brilliant planist outdid herself and aroused overwhelming enthusiasm. The first number on the pro- gramme was the ‘“Moonlight” sonata of Beethoven. It was rendered with a rich, warm sympathy. delicate pathos and bril- liant execution that gave fullest value to each phase of the beautiful movements. The Chopin group was given with utmost grace, and consisted of the Nocturne op. 37, No. 2; the Barcarolle (by request), A flat Etude and the A flat Ballade. There was also a Schubert xroug. the charm- ing A flat “Impromptu,” the picturesque 'Soiree de Vienne'' Schubert-Liszt, and the Schubert-Tausig ‘“Marche Militaire,” which simply carried the audience off its feet. Two numbers new here, a delight- ful Oriental tone poem, “An_Arabian Night,” and a “Scherzino” of Regina Watson's, were much enjoved; the beau- tiful Tschalkowsky ‘“Nocturne” was re- peated by special request, and the sixth “Hungarian Rhapsodie” of Liszt, which was given heroic rendering, roused the audience to the highest pitch of enthusi- Mme. Carreno graciously responded to two encores, giving her own graceful little “waltz” and the Chopin “Berceuse.” She leaves this morning for the north. < BROS Unusual Offerings TO-DAY IN ALL DEP_ARTMENTS.

The BSouthern Pacific Company has “kept tab” carefully on Miss Helen | Ellis for several months, and the result of the detective work of the great corpora- tion was made apparent yesterday on the cross examination of the fair plaintiff by Joseph Dunn, counsel for the corporation. Miss Ellis is pale of visage and slight of frame, and she is trying to convince a jury in the United States Circuit Court that the railroad company owes her $30,000 for injuries which she alleges she received last July by the derailing of a Pullman car between Delta and Gibson. Her counsel, Mr. Leaming, placed her on the stand to tell of the disastrous effects of the shakeup. She said that up to the time of the accident her health had been | perfect, and she enjoyed social pleasures, | literary pursuits and square meals with | equal gusto. After the accident, she said, she lost her appetite, became hysterical, melancholy and troubled with insomnia to such an extent that she was obliged to sit up until between 1 and 2 o’clock in the morning before she could go to sleep. In addition to these destructive changes Miss Ellis swore that she could no longer read solid literature with the same degree of mental concentration as formerly and that she was unable to continue her vo- cation as a teacher of elocution. Her life since the accident, she declared. was a bleak deésert of nervous and intellectual misery and starvation, without a single oasis of comfort and repose. Then Mr. Dunn took the lady gently in hand for the purpose of cross-examina- tion. After inquiring into the visible in- juries sustained by the lady, consisting of a bruised shoulder and hip and a cut lip and forehead, Mr. Dunn turned his at- several months after the accident. From a carefully prepared memorandum he asked a serles of questions that showed that every movement of the plaintiff had been closely watched by persons in the interest of the railroad company. For instance as an evidence of her hearty ap- petite he directed Her attention to the ihree square meals she ate daily in the Hotel Artesia at Hanford, to her consump- tion on a certain occasion of a wad of lim- burger cheese and a plate of sour rlckln. to her roaming the hills on hunting ex- cursions, her attendance at the theater, her remaining up until midnight and after at card parties, to her winning the sec- ond prize in a progressive euchre party as showing that the accident had not im- }zalred her mental faculties, and to the act that during all the months that she spent in Hanford she had never asked for or obtained medical attendance, and that far from being melancholy she laughed and ‘jested at the.hotel table as merrily as the gayest of them. e witness admitted all the facts ex- cept the eating of the limburger. She said that it h: T sent to her tabie by some pretended to eat fit. Leske Tells of His Loss. The preliminary examination of John Hansen on a charge of grand larceny was commenced before Judge Conlan yester- day. Hansen is_accused of having steered” .

Leske explained how he was ac- costed by Hansen on March 14 and in- dvced to go to the room and how he thought he had a goed hand in a poker me, but found that another man had a tter one. For the defense it was claimed that Hansen, after Leske lost his money, asked him to go back to the room and he would get the men to return it, but Leske refused.
