To that end it was deemed advisable to have the standards ratified by the commercial interests in- | volved. | As_a better means of labeling it was names used in designating the goods should be more in the nature of information, so that the consumer would know exactly what he was buying.

Action Taken in the Matter of Exhibition at St. Louis Fair, At the meeting of the executive com- mittee of the California State Miners’ Assoclation last night at thne Unlon League Club in the Palace Hotel, import- ant business was transacted which is, no doubt, of exceeding interest to the miners of California. % On a motion of Senator Davis, the fol- lowing resolutions were adopted, and the ecretary was directed to telegraph them at once to the California Congressional delegation at Washington: Resolved, That we most earnestly urge upon our Eénators and Kepresentatives in Congress Lo use their utmost eilorts to secure the enact- ment of the so-called mineral lands biil, now to the end that ' there may be a_prompt,. eifectual and fina: classifi- cation and segregation of the muneral lands Within“the railroud land branch of California, and that such mineral lands may again be thrown open to exploration and purchase as part of the public dumain. No effort should be spared to procure the enactment of this leg- islation at this sessjon of Congress. Heartily Indorsd the Bill. Resolved, That the mining industry of this country, with its enormous uLpuUt oOf raw ma- ter: its tremendous significance to the in- dustrlal prosperity or the nation and its vast possibilities of ruture development warrants and demands the governmental protection and aid that can be adequately extended only through & Cabinet department of the executive branch of the Government. Be it turther Resolved, That we heartily indorse the bill now pending in Congress .that we create a Cabinet Department ot Minés and Mining, and in behalf of the miners of California we de- mand the passage of said bill. No resolution was sent on the $150,000 river and harbor bill, as it was thought to_be quite safe. The committee came to the conclusion ' that rather than try ie push through any new bills it would use its utmost efforts in getting through the three above named, which were becoming stale. The association tendered a vote of thanks to the company that donated its stone for the Sloat monument at Monte- rey. 0 to Major Sherman to cover cost of moving and setting in place the stone. In re%nm to the invitation from the St. Louis Fair of 1903 to the miners of Cali- fornia to open and maintain an exhibit, it was resolved that the duty of getting an exhibit at the fair rested with the State Mining Bureau. It was estimated that $10,000 would be necessary to main- tain the exhibit at St. Louis and that an appropriation from the State Legislature for the amount would have to be ob- tained. Specimens for St. Louis Fair. As the Legislature does not meet until | shortly before the opening of the fair, and | the @ppropriation is certain to be forth- | coming, the Miners’ Assoclation will lend (all aid possible between now and then | | to.the securing of specimens. The secre- tary was instructed to send a printed let- | ter to the Boards of Supervisors in every | county, asking them to appoint some per- | son to gather specimens and ship them | by’ “’elg,* Fargo & Co., which carries | | them free of charge, to the Mining Bu- | reau in San Francisco, where they will be | held to await the appropriation from the | Legislature. = The Miners’ Association { will not be responsible in any way for | logs of specimens. The State must bear | all expense. | George C. Sargent appeared before the | | | committee in reference to asking aid of the Miners’ Association to fight an in- junction issued by the Superior Court of | Nevada County, at the instance of the | Anti-Debris Association. It was held that Sargent operated a - hydraulic. mine { which emptied debris into a tributary of | a navigable stream. The Miners’ Associ- | atlon could not help Sargent, as the in- | | junction was served before he took out a | bermit. Had the Injunction been served | | after the permit. was granted then the | association would have been in a better position to take action. The association agreed to give him all the moral support possible and hoped he would be -able to | arrange satisfactorily with the Debris Commission. | As this was expected to be made a test | case in the interest of hydraulic mining | much interest was evinced, but Sargent's | peculiar position made action by the Min- | ers’ Association impossible, | | JTUDGE PAYS IBUTE TO OFFICERS’ BRAVERY William Cole 2nd Robert Garner Held on Two Charges of Rob- bery.

Ad- miral Kempff returned to his home in Oakland after more than two years’ ab- sence on duty in the Orient, during which time¢ he commanded American squadrons in Chinese, Philippine and Japanese wa- ters. He arrived . on the Pacific Mail steamer Peking, and as soon as he was released from quarantine joined his fam- ily at the Hotel Metropole in Oakland. He wiil remain there for a short time be- fore he proceeds to Washington to make a report in person to the Federal Govern- ment upon matters connected with the Chinese situation and the conditions in Manila, > Admiral Kempff was relleved at Yoko- hama_ by Rear Admiral Wilds, he having served more than the usual time allotted to ofticers on foreign service.

Taku, when his refusal to heip bombard the Chinese forts put the United States in a position to dictate terms ‘to the rest of the world in the complicated conditions that subsequently arose in China. This was a home-coming for the admiral, for he left the position of com- mandant of the Mare Island navy yard to take command of the Asiatic squadron. He had been for many years in Califor- nia, and left his family here when he went to the Orient. , Reasons for His Course. “My decision at Taku was based upon the naval regulations of the United States,” said Admiral Kempff modestiy last night. ‘“These regulations are very clear. I decided that .the Chinese Gov- ernment had committed no act of war and that we were not justified in firing mand for the surrender of the Taku forts, and so I refused to join in the bombard- ent. “While we were the last to fire upon the Chinese flag, we were the first to land troops in Tientsin. I arrived off Taku, 1 think, on May 27, with the Newark as my flagship. At that time there was communication with Peking and in all directions, but there were rumors of trou- ble in the air. The foreigners at Tientsin were nervous, for there had been a mas- sacre there some years before, and we were asked to land troops. In order to understand the situation at Taku it must be known that the water is very shoal, and at best there is but thirteen feet on the bar. The result was that the big ships had to lay twelve miles off shore. Only a few gunboats of the lightest dratt took part. ‘“Not a big vessel fired a shot. I re- ceived word from Tientsin asking that a guard be sent. I at once applied for per- mission to land some of my troops, which was granted by the Chinese Government, and at 5 o'clock on the morning of the fol- lowing day I had something over 100 marines and sallors under arms. We only had fifty marines all told in the Ameri- can fleet that had arrived at that time. At 6 o'clock ‘this company embarked ‘in our boats, towed by launches. I went with the boats in person, and the whole fleet- got stuck on the bar. We did not know the channel and the water was very low. We saw a number of Chinese junks and sampans and hired the entire fleat, loaded our men on them and managed to reach Taku on the flat-bovtomed boats. “‘There we found there was some trouble than wait we hired tugs from the Taku si:i Tientsin Lighter Company, and the little Chinese fleet, towed by tugs and loaded with American sailors and ma- rines, were taken up the river to Tientsin. They arrived during the day and were the first armed contingent of foreign fighting men to reach that city. All of the foreign element tufned out and gave them a royal welcome. The Japanese had landed seventeen men, but ours was the first contingent of whites and the first of any considerable size that arrived. Large Fleet Off Taku. ““The foreign vessels ‘began to arrive from time to time until there was a very large fleet off Taku, that flcet at one time numbering about thirty-five vessels of all nations. Jt was carly in June that the commanders representing the various na- tions began to talk of taking possession of the Taku forts. All of the nations had been landing men, arms and supplies just as fast as they could, and with the fuil and free permission of the Chinese Impe- rial Government. There was a consider- able force at Tientsin, and when any na- tion asked ‘permission to lgnd a foree-it was at once granted, = “Early in June Vice Admiral Seymour of the British fleet sent for me and asked me what I would do if it was decided to take the forts. I replied that our naval regulations governed that. and that under those I did not see that China had com- mitted any act of war and that I could not take part. After that the German vice admiral sént for me, and I told him the same thing. It was on June 6 that the conference of admirals was called on board -Admiral Seymour's flagship. The matters under discussion were the relief of the legations at Peking and the advis- ability of taking the Taku forts. Ad- miral Seymour urged that the legations be relieved and said that he was willing ‘to 80 himself. This he dd later, starting on June 10 with what is known as ‘Sey- mour's column.’ composed of about 2100 | men of all nationalities and in which the United States was represented by Cap- tain McCalla, whom I placed in command of the American contingent, composed of | both marines and sailors. Departure of Seymour. “Shortly after Seymocur left we lost communication with his column, but all the while disnatches were being 'received by the Chinese officials, showing that ccmmunication was®open if they chose to allow the foreigners to use it. We wera getting information by messengers and T recefved one letter, dated the 15th. from Minister Conger, stating that the Chinese officlals had not promised to allow Sey- mour's column to enter Peking, but that they had conveyed the impression that the legations would be turned over fo Seymour in safety at least outside of tha city. That took several days to reach m : The interruption of communication with Seymour’s column and.the generai uncartain condition of affairs caused the meetings which resulted in the ultimatum that was sent on June 16 to the Chinese general in charge of the Taku forts. He was given until midnight on the 16th in which to surrender thé forts to the tem- porary possession of the foreign soldiers. Bombardment Is Begun. “It was about 1 o’clock on the morning of the 17th that the bombardment began, &nd by shortly after daylight all of the forts had surrendered.

San- dona Collapses. —_——— A studlo was the scene yesterday of temporary excitement, suppressed emo- tion and a sprinkling of indignation with a few drachms of tincture of bitter in- vective, added to which were several fortu- nately, with apologies. The scene of surprises was the studio of Matteo Sandona, upon whose sacred domain a Deputy Assessor ventured. At the moment of the official and digni- fied approach of the deputy Sandona was in the act of reproducing the features of M. L. Dixon on canvas, while an author friend of the artist was elaborating Don .Glovanni on the violin—a studio scene after the heart of the lamented Du Maurier. When Sandona paints Sandona dashes mercurially at the canvas with every in- tended stroke and when the touch of the brush has been made he as mercurially skips back to take critical observation | of his work. It was at one of these dreadful mo- ments of artistic strenuousness, and also at the moment of a four-finger créscendo chord by the violinist, that the deputy made his grand entrance. “Amy Montey in the Bank.” Sandona is gradually mastering the | English language, but not-at such a rate as to make him master of all its idiosyn- crasies, hence the argument that attended the deputy’s appearance. “Any money in the bank?’ asked the OU never cut off -large.

I it came in dainty paper, all scented and colored, you would pay fifteen cents for a very small cake of it. deputy. Not knowing who the intruller was, his business or anything else about him, the artist, the subject and the violinist, made sure that it was purely and simply a ‘‘hold up,” and were prepared on the instant to sniff at the forbidding barrel end of a Colt's 44-caliber revolver. “‘Bank account,” exclaimed Sandona nervously, his brush and palette shaking in his temporarily palsied hand. *“Banx account, saire, he is a stranger to me. Really, I assure you.” | ““Who?” demanded the deputy. ‘“‘Bank account,” replied Sandona, as his brush and palette fell dejectedly to the ground. “What is the value of this place?” “You see it, saire,” said Sandona. After a puzzled gaze at canvases, statu- ettes and easels, a value was volunteered by the affrighted artist. o “Two dollars!” demanded the Assessor. All Dive Into Their Pockets.

Admiral Seymour knew nothing about it, but the day after the news reached Peking, showing again that the wires were up to the Chinese, the imperial troops came down from Peking, united with the Boxers and drove him back. He was nearly out of food and ammunition and would have been in a serious condition had not relief reached him. I will always think that that bom- bardment brought on much trouble. “We miist be generous to the Chinese. Their country was being overrun with Box- ers who were their own countrymen. We could hardly expect the Chinese troops to slaughter the Boxers, and many had been killed by the Chinese troops, but possibly not as many as a foreigner might think necessary. But in this country American troops will only fire upon Americans who are breaking the laws, and then in cases of extreme necessity, and we must not ex- pect the Chinese to do any more. American Position Is Excellent. “I am satisfied the Americans stand better in China to-day than any other na- tionality. I know that American officers are allowed to enter all fortifications and make sketches or photographs, which is denied to most foreign officers. During the fall of last year I was again in Chi- nese waters and I took the Kentucky, then my flagship, 250 miles up the Yangste River to Nanking. The viceroy of that province I had met many years before in Canton. He was 30 years old and ruled 100,000.000 of people, more than the total population of this country. He gave my officers and myself a reception that the Consuls stationed in that country- had never given to any official except to a Chi- nese ruler. His expressions toward this country were most friendly and I am sure that we have the favor of these people above any European power."” Congress' Proposes to Thapk Him.

The Vesuvio restaurant, at 630 Montgomery street, was robbed some time during the hours of darkness, and money and goods to the extent of $200 were taken. A short time afterward the store of Quong Yuen Hing Company, on Dupont street, was entered and its owners suffered a loss of about $175. The police are of the belief that the crimes were committed by the same crooks and pronounce them the work of a gang who have been operating at North Beach. Cash registers and tilis were forced with “jimmles” in each case and the thieves, net satisfled with monetary plunder, carried away the most valuabie goods they could find in the establish- ments. The Vesuvio restaurant was entered from the front, the burglars cutt out a_screen ventilator over one of the doors. How -they accomplished this without de- tection is a mystery to the officers. When the burglars reached Dupont street they smashed one of the large panes in the show window and gained an entrance to the Chinese store. From the restaurant $40 in cash was stolen in addition to imj ed cigars and wines valued at $160. igh-priced cloth, ornaments and $30 in coin were extracted from the store on Dupont street.
