An exhibition match of billiards was arranged in San Francisco lately between J. F. B. McCleery, billiard in ttructor, and Crown, a Canadian player. The latter failed to appear, to the disgust of several hundred lovers of the game. In order to prevent dis appointment of the audience, an ama teur named James Gilbert was induced to play McCleery, the latter heavily handicapped. McCleery was to play 200 points eight-inch balk line to Gil bert's 100 points straight rail. The amateur won by making his score In twenty innings, when McCleery had only readied 165. The latter made one run of 72.

ODB SAN FMCISCO LETTER A Joker's Repatation- President Lincoln said once that the best story he ever read in the papers of himself was this: Two Quakeresses were travelling on the railroad, and were heard discussing the probable termination of the war. "I think," said the first. " that Jefferson will suc ceed." " Why does thee think so ? " asked the other. " Because Jefferson is a praying man." " And so is Abra ham a praying man," objected the second. " Yes, but the Lord will think Abraham is joking," the first replied, conclusively. Omaha Bee. Special Correspondence of the Gazette The Committee on Ways and Means of the present Congress will be Mills (chairman;, Cox of New York, McMillan of Tennessee. Breckenridge of Kentucky, Breckenridge of Arkansas, Tamer of Georgia, By mem of In diana, all Democrats, and Keller of Penn sylrania, Brown of Indiana, Ueed of Maine, Falter of Iowa and MoKinley of Ohio, all Republicans. There is not a protectionist among the majority and Speaker Carlisle has assigned one freetrader to the minority. Mills of Texas, when interviewed, said that 'the administration reTenae bill proposed to oat off $50,000,000 on customs daties by placing salt, coal, iron ore, wood and a few other articles on the free list, reducing the duties on sugar one-half, and cutting the duties on a few other articles." The attention of Congress will be especi ally directed to the "Trusts" that hare re cently sprung into existence, and their effect npon the necessaries of life, action being especially directed against the coal and sugar trusts, which, it is claimed, are the cause of the present high price of sugar, which is quoted to-day at 5 15-16 cents for Cuban 96. With the abolition ot the doty on sugar will probably come a bounty to sugar producers in the United States, and this, says the Netct Letter, " meanB a bounty to every industry into which sugar enters." The stertmer City of Pueblo, that it was said would be placed in the Hawaiian trade, haB been chartered by Goodall, Perkins & Co. for the Pacific CoasI trade; and the steam-schooner Jesse H. Freeman, after making a few coasting trips, is being fitted out for wbnling. , The San Francisco papers have been filled with most contradictory stories as to the position of affairs in Hawaii, "owing to the Kind's veto of certain bills passed by the Leg islature. Mr. Wilder has been extensively interviewed and plaoes matters in a favor able HrA, while other .information, purport ing to have been derived from private ad vices, tells of a second revolution that was imminent. The Post has published a story to the effect that the United States can buy the Islands for $5,000,000, giving Kilakaua a good ranch with $5,000 per annum in Cali fornia. It is also stated that ex-Premier Gibson will return to Honolulu, and again resume the helm of statesmanship, as soon as be is assured that bis fair friend the book agent has sailed for Yokohama or San Francisco. Gibson claims to be posted on the true inwardness of affairs. savB that the present government is not acceptable to Ha- wauans, and that a change wouia oe giaaiy welcomed. Messrs. Geo. W. Meade & Co. of San Fran cisco have failed. They are large dealers in California produce and have customers in Honolulu. Their liabilities amount to $175, 000, with assets estimated at $350,000. Speca lations in real estate and other heavy invest ments are claimed to be the reasons'for their snspension. The international conference on sugar bounties, held in London, has temporarily suspended proceedings and it has been con sidered a success. The delegates, who came from Austria, Hungary, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Russia, Spain and Sweden, signed a protocol for the entire abolition of sugar bounties, which will be submitted to their respective Governments for ratification. The results will be made public in March, when the dele gates will meet again. In the meantime it is expected that tbe present high price of raw sugar will be maintained, and may very probably go still higher. This will indeed be good news to Hawaiian planters. On tbe other hand, the Louisiana sugar crop is un usually heavy, and a gain of ten per cent, is claimed turougu tue use of the dinusion pro cess over other methods. The Havemeyer Sugar ltefinery Company of New York retires from business this year, aud Mr. W. T. Havemeyer goes to St. Louis to manage tbe St. Louis Sugar Uefining Com pany. This is tbe on ;ome of the Eastern "trust," wtnoh ountrols tbe output of re fined sugars and tbns maintains values. Imports of Hawaiian HUgars at San Fran cisco amounted last year to 205.781,317 pounds, of tbe value or $tf,4'Ju,U(j7. The im port) of rice from the- same source were 12,517,900 pounds, of tho value of $501,890. The Louisiana rice crop is twenty-five per cent, lens man last year, but prices nave ad vaucd fifty per cent., while a further speca lative movement iB probable. Among tbe passengers leaving by the sieanmmp Australia are wm.tf.enny watson. of the Glasgow firm of Mirrjees & Watson, who have Bnpplied so much of the sugar ma chinery for tbe Islands; Mrs. Wen. Benny Watson, Mihs Mirrlees, H. 11. Hitchcock and wife, Miss A. Horner, C. H. Atberton and wire, t or the Mariposa, sailing on January 12th, there are' booked ' W. H. Bailey and wife, Mrs. H. M. Whitney aud Mrs. S. T. Alexander. L. Montgomery Mather, traveling agent for the Islands, bns been to Monterev. Thence he returned to San Francisco and has since gone south to Los Angeles and San Diego. Small-pox has been increasing to such an extent in San Francisco, four and five cases occurring daily, that the city has been pro claimed epidemic Several hundred people are being vaccinated daily and every precau tion is taken to prevent the spread of the disease, it is satisfactory to note that tbe percentage . of deaths has been very small, tbe balk of the patients progressing very favorably.

Ban Francisco papers remark on the ar rivals of Portugneso from these Islands. Tbe Bulletin sayB: Nearly forty Portuguese arrived on tbe steamer Australia yesterday from the Ha waiian Islands where tbey had been working under contract on tbe plantations. After landing at the Ocennio mail dock the small aud picturesque colony started np through tbe city, looking as odd as a band of gypoies. Half of them were barefooted and wore all kinds of f antastio and vari-colored garments. Nearly every ship brings a band of these people, who are seeking homes in California. Their places on tbe islands are being taken by Japanese. Captain Miller Dead. The San Francisco Examiner of tbe 3d has a news item from Santa Crux announcing tbe death, at that place, on the previous day, of Captain T. F. Miller. Deceased was well known in Honolulu. Some eight years ago he brought tbe schooner Bonanza here from tbe Coast', and made several trips in her thereafter. He had an interest in the bark Kalakana, in which be made a number of trips aa master. He latterly retired to Santa Cruz, where he engaged in the bath-house business and also owned a ranch at that Slace. Captain Miller at the date of his eath would be about 70 years of age.
