WHICH THOSE IN JSToLP TEGRELS AND i LAmseN Ebell Rooms and Reed Hall to Be Scene of Largest Card Gathering Ever Held ——r AKLAND, Sept. 11.—The first and most important public social event of the season will be the Fabiola whist and euchre matinee to be given on Saturday afternoon next in the Ebell building. From the DAWSON LOGING 15 POPULATION Klondike City Will Be Almost Deserted by Winter. Special Dispatch to The Call. VANCOUVER, B. C., Sept. 11..—There will be an unprecedented rush from Daw- son during September and early in Octo- ber. Every berth was taken on the steamer Hating, which arrived here this morning from Skaguay, and other steam- ers en route to Puget Sound are equally crowded. This is only the commencement of the rush, which probably will keep up &t the rate of 100 persons a day from now until the close of navigation on the upper river. Thé increased business has caused al- most unlimited rate-cutting on the Yukon River between Dawson and White Horse. People from Nome and away down the Yukon, as well as from the city of Daw- son itself, are coming out to civilization for the winter months. Large mine own- ers and those Immediately interested probably will stay in the country, only the surplus population having the longing for the Gelights of the outside. Hereafter summer diggings will not be relied upon in the Klondike to produce much of the mineral returns, The miners method of thawing out the ground and having a big dump ready for treatment during the This summer the clean- up would have been much . larger had work begun sooner, but by the time dumps had grown to a respectable size there was no water with which to handle them. Two hundred thousand dollars’ worth of gold cust came down by the Hating to-day. A large share was owned by Frank C. Brown of Vancouver, who has been in the north since 189%8. Mrs. K. Weissman brought out several large packages of dust from an El Dorado claim that she owns. Unfortunate James McKenna. James McKenna, a miner, who arrived in the city Tuesday night, was dragged off a car at Twenty-fourth and Folsom streets last evening and beaten so-badly by strikers that the police deemed it necest to send him to the City and County Hospital for treatment. McKenna, who was evidently mistaken for somc more fortunate non-union man, had his nose broken and received lacerations of the scalp and face.

OSBORNE LEAVES THE FEEBLE-MINDED HOME Pathetic but Considerate Farewell to His Former Assistants at the Institution. The officers and employes at the Home for the Care and Training of Feeble- Minded Children recently presented to the retiring superintendent and his wife a handsomely mounted silver tray. The sentiment engraved on the gift is this: Presented to Dr. and Mrs. A. E. Osborne by the officers and employes of the Califernia Home for the Care and Training of Feeble Mindead Children, In token of their high esteem and ablding_affection Eldridge, Sept. 7, 1901 It is fresh in the minds of the public that Dr. Osborne was displaced from his position of superintendent to make a place for Dr. William M. Lawlor, a hack poli- tician. ~In taking his departure from the institution with which he has been so long and honorably identified, Dr. Osborne spoke as follows to his former assistants: In taking leave of you I have uppermost in my mind the record of your fidelity to the interests of the patlents in the home and your uniform good nature and.loyal response to all duties Imposed upon vou. The memory of your devotlon fo the interests of the patients will never fade, but shall ever be the brightest thing in all our remembrances of the years passed in the institution As you have beeh faithful in the past T charge you to be falthful in the future. Let me ask you to lay aside all personal feeling and accept with patience that which has come to us in the course of events. Remember your first duty is to the patients and you can do no higher_nor nobler work than to continue your ministration to those we have had a mutual interest in, so long as your services may be needed by the management now in control. God wiil reward you for this. Nothing will please me so much as to learn that your service has been such as merits con- fidence and will lead to your retention in of- fice. And now, farewell. I carry with me, proudly, the evidence of your esteem, and my prayer shail ever be that heaven will bless you Wherever you are.

The Commercial Museum received a ca- blegram from the United States Consul at Bordeaux,. France, yesterday which brought news about prices that are asked for French prunes on tbe quay at Bor- deaux that will electrify the prune grow- ers of this State 'if the statements are verified. In the cablegram were prices for several gradings or sizes of the French fruit. Allowing that upon California prunes will have to be paid a charge of 1% cents per pound for transportation to European ports and that the duty against them abroad will be another cent per pound, the margin of profit in exporting will be unusually large for the Califor- nians. The news was So good that it was promptly challenged by the large houses in this ecity that do an e)’}g‘nrtlng business in California products. ey heard from the Commercial Museum during the fore- noon and at once bagan to cable to France to learn what the actual condition of the market is. . Among those particularly interested were Mr. Schacht, who handles the for- eign business of J. K. Armsby & Co., and Mr. Blank, who cares for the European interests of Castle Bros. | _The Consul of the United States at Bor- deaux sent word that 33-35's were worth 16 cents per pound; 36-35's, 14 1-10 cents: 45's, 13 2-5 cents; 45-50's,,11 17 cents. So it went all along the line, and the quota- tions were nearly double those that the commercial houses have in letters. The official cablegram from Bordeaux was dated September 10, which was much later than any mail advices. In connection with the prices the Consul wired that the French prune crop is 45 per cent only of the crop of 1900. This would naturally raise the prices materially. To-day an- swers to their cables of inquiry may be received by the commercial houses that have started to ascertain the exact facts, California has cn hand many millions of pounds of last year's prune crop, ard also has the new crop to market, and is there- fore much interested in the outcome of the inquiries.

J. Lea, a naturalized American citi- zen: Whereas, His Excellency William McKinley, the President of the United States, who so re- cently was the honored guest of the people of the city of Oakland, has been stricken by the hand of violence; and Whereas, He has endeared himself to the people of the United States, not only by his firmness and ability in conducting the business of the Government, but also,by his devotion to the rights of the people add by his uniform courtesy and kindness to all who have had the good fortune to meet him: therefore Resolved, By the Merchants’ Exchange of Oakland that we desire to express our detesta- tion of the crime and our contempt for the cowardly hand which would approach a person under the guise of friendship in order to find an opportunity to take his life: and Resolved, That we favor legislation which will provide the severest penaities for the crimes which strike at the very foundation of all government; and Resolved, That we offer our sincere sympathy to President McKinley and his devoted wite, and we trust he may be spared many years to the people of the United States of America. - SUPERVISORS EXTEND HEARTFELT SYMPATHY The following resolution was drawn up by the Board of Supervisors at its meet- ing yesterday. It was ordered telegraphed East by Mayor Phelan: Whereas, The President of the United States who so recently honored this city by a visit has been stricken down by the cowardly hand of an avowed anarchist; be it therefore Resolved, That we, the Board of Supervisors of the city and county of San Francisco. repro- bate the dastardly deed and condemn the mis- gulded and criminal agencies through which violence and assassination ‘are made possible under cover of the generous privileges confer- red by American citizenship: and be it further Resolved, That we_ respectfully express our sympathy with the President in his suffering. and 18k forward with profound gratification to the promise of his early recovery; and be it_further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be telegraphed to Mrs. Willlam McKinley and en- tered at length in the journal of this board.

The following resolutions were adopted We rejolce with fervent gratitude at the good encouraging news from the bed of in of our beloved comrade. President McKin- ey, and while expressing this feeling for the mifaculous recovery of him for whom the hearts of his countrymen have throbbed with sorrowing anxlety during these fearful days, BALANGE GOES T0 MEMBERSHIP Moneys Due FProduce ' Exchange for Its Property. AW OL Y When the Merchants’ lxchange takes over the property of the San Francisco Produce Exchange and the last named body goes out of existence there will be about §809 for each member of the Produce Exchange as the balance due him at the final distribution.. This statement is embodied in a circular letter which T. C. Friedlander, the secretary of the Produce Exchange, has sent out to the members of that body in connection with a notification that the produce organization will soon come to an end. ‘‘Membership fees,” so reads the circular, “are now being pald to the members of the Merchants’ Exchange by all those who are not members of the San Francisco Produce Exchange. When such fees are paid the purchase of the property of the present Merchants' Ex change will be completed, said corpora. tion will dissolve and the Produce Ex. ‘change will receive the amount owing to it on its stock in sald Merchants’ Ex- change Assoclation. Upon the dissolu- tion of the Produce Exchange all its mem- bers will receive in cash the balance of their pro rata, which, it is estimated, will amount to at least $800.”" To facilitate the winding up of the busi- ness of the Produce Exchange a form has been prepared and is being sent to the members of that body to sign, in which each member assigns $500 to the Mer- chants' Exchange out of the moneys to be received in the settlement and author- izes the seeretary to collect the money from the Produce Exchange in behalf of the Merchants’ Exchange Association. @ S R e @ we deem this a fitting occasion to call upon our Representatives and Senators in Congress to see to it that laws are enacted which will root out anarchists and their nefarious teach- ings forever. Ve also hope that laws will be passed for the protection of the person of the President and that the name and office of the chief mag. |n(rfl|(e x(;f lh; nnk;lonhmaypro beld sacred to the people by whom he has been placed in e alted position. 2 bt COSBY HELD TO ANSWER.—Joha Cosby, the colored ex-soldier who fired six shots at R.

Says the People Must Shake Off the Galling Yoke of Slavery. A grand rally was held in the Jackson- street Theater last evening by the Chinese of this city who are in favor of the re- form movement now spreading through- out the Celestial empire. The theater was packed to the doors long before 8 o'clock by a motley crowd of Chinese. The dignified merchant in silken gown and with fingers flashing with costly rings elbowed and jostled the highbinder with stiff-brimmed hat and clothes reek- ing with the odor of opium. The weary house servant for a mght had foregone the pleasures of the gambling table and struggled in the aisles to work his way close up to the stage. A. L. Ahlo, a son of a wealthy Chinese merchant of Honolulu, was the lecturer. He has just returned from England, where he has been studying for the last three years. He is a graduate of Cam- bridge and speaks English perfectly. He appeared in evening dress, and he wore the latest creation in evening pumps. The address was delivered in English and was translated into Chinese by Ng Poon Chew, editor of the Chinese daily paper. Previous to the appearance of the lecturer the master of ceremonies spoke | a few words in Chinese and the auditors immediately removed their hats. “I am glad to see so many zealous workers here to-night,” said Ahlo. “Many among you I know suffer privations which are due alone to the misrule of the Chi- nese Government. The Chinese Govern- ment is a disgrace in this day of enlight- enment. We must be ready as pafriots to sacrifice our lves and wealth if neces- s for the good of our country. Our countrymen far across the Pacific Ocean look to'you for assistance and for encouragement. We hoped for the regen- eration of China, but we have been dis- appointed. Our country, I_am sorry to say, is full of corruption. It is a nation disgraced. I feel and you feel the degra- dation keenly. When the late war was over we were promised re- form. We did not get it, and the people of China are gradually sinking | back to their normal state of misery. The | people must at once shake off the yoke of slavery. They are too easily beguiled by false promises. It is now time to awaken and bestir ourselves.” At the close of the-address the Chinese gave Ahlo a hearty round of applause. To questions whether they enjoyed the address and if they were in favor of the reform movement they all sullenly an- swered, “No sabe.” ONLY CHRIST COULD FRAME CODE FOR ALL The Rev. Thomas J. Shahan Lectures to Large Audience at Metro- politan Hall. The Rev. Thomas J. Shahan delivered a very interesting lecture last evening be- fore the Catholic Truth Society at Metro- | politan Hall. The learned gentleman's discourse was on the subject, “The Catholic Chureh, the Mother of Our Modern Civilization,” and was listened to by many members of the | society. Father Shahan, who was introduced by Archbishop Riordan, said: “It is a com- monplace saying that there is no social progress possible without the recognition of authority in the State and a respectful submission to its due and licit exercise. But what avail is all this if there be no habitual discipline in the minds and hearts of men? It is the creation of this docile temper, this trained submission to just law and custom, that is one of the great glories of the Catholic church. The modern world, in so far as it possesses this benefit, inherits it from her. “A century of wild and incoherent ef- forts to base social obedience on any other lines than those she preaches has resulted in anarchy, or a practical appeal to her to the masses from whose hearts the balancing ideas of God—future, retribution, sin, immortality—were driven by ev: ingenious means that could be devis Neither Plato nor Aristotle, neither Zeno nor Cicero nor Seneca were able to establish a code of principles that should command the willing and affee- tionate acceptance of all men under all the changing circumstances of life. Only Jesus Christ could do that.” —_———————— Licensed to Marry. OAKLAND, Sept. 1l.—Licenses to marry. were issued to-day_to Patrick Brackett, 30, and Katherine M.
