FIGHTING AGAINST PEDDLERS.
A Proposed Amendment to an Or
dinance That Is Not Popular
With the Masses.
A committee of five appointed by the
Merchants' Exchange of Oakland was busy
yesterda*. going among the merchants and
getting their pledges to appear before the
Conncil next Monday night and urge the
passage of the amendment to the peddlers'
ordinance, fixing the license at $50 a quar
ter for vehicles and $25 for hand-baskets.
The amendment is being advocated by
some members of the Merchants' Ex
change, and according to President Q. L.
Fish, was drawn up by Councilman
Manuel in conjunction with Attorney
George de Golia. The amendment is
aimed at produce and game peddlers, and
is strenuously advocated by W. G.
Manuel, who is a commission man. In the
heart of Oakland the ordinance will not
make any difference, but it is of vast im
portance to thousands of people who live
in the outside districts.
President Fish of the Merchants' Ex
change says that the amendment is aimed
at the large number of Chinese pc ddlers
who come to Oakland every morning and
return at night, after having sold all their
goods, and left nothing in Oakland but a
license of $10 a quarter.
Councilmen Watkinson, Heitman and
Brosnahan are opposed to the amendment,
v_ and denounce it as a cinch measure for the
V benefit of a very few, and against the best
interests of the big majority.
Woolsey and Weidler.
_>o warrant has yet been issued for Dr.
Woolsey or Constable Weidler. Constable
Weidler unhesitatingly declares that he is
prevented from getting a warrant for his
assailant through political jobbery.
When Weidler went to the District At
torney's office to swear out a warrant it
was not granted him. Weidler said he
was prepared to swear to a complaint for
assault with a deadly weapon against
Dr. Woolsey, and also informed the District
• Attorney that his witnesses were prepared
to substantiate it.
Dr. Woolsey applied for a warrant against
Weidier for disturbing his peace. Then
the District Attorney's office said it was
opposed to issuing warrants to two parties,
. and would like to find out who was the
aggressor.
The names of the witnesses were given
to County Detective Herbert to investigate,
and on his report the District Attorney's
office will act.

I. Equalized Assessment-*.
"J
The City Council met last night as a
board of equalization and heard the ap
plication for reduction of assessments from
all the street railroad and Southern Pacific
property. While pleading for the South
ern Pacific reduction, E. Black Ryan was
suddenly taken sick and was obliged to
retire. The matter will be considered
Saturday evening.
The Highland Park Railroad's applica
tion for a reduction was granted to the ex
tent of 20 per cent.
The OaKland, San Leandro and Hay
wards road, the Oakland Consolidated
■ and the Alameda electric roads were all
denied reductions, and Assessor Dalton's
figures will stand.
Dalton Is in Earnest.
Assessor Dalton has taken the first legal
move toward having the reductions from
his assessment rolls declared invalid. Yes
terday morning E. G. Buswell, a citizen
and taxpayer, applied to Judge Ellsworth
for an alternate writ of mandate requiring
County Auditor Whidden to show cause
why he should not accept the original
figures of the county assessment rather
than those turned over to him by the
County Clerk as corrected by the Board of
Equalization. Judge Ellsworth granted
the writ and made it returnable next Sat
urday morning. j
Deny Responsibility.
Yesterday the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company filed an answer in the suit of
Fred Wilson to recover $30,000 damages for
injuries caused by being crushed by the
steamer Newark at the broad-gauge pier
some time ago. Wilson was a pile-driver,
and was caught between a pile and the side
of the boat as she entered the slip. The
attorneys for the company consider that
he, Wilson, was not exposed to any more
danger by reason of the circumstances sur
rounding the accident, and that he ought
to have known that the steamer was com
ing.
Many Want the Place.
The trustees of the First Congregational
Church have received over twenty applica

One of the Charges Against Him Dis
missed on a Technicality.
Leo de Cardona, ex-bookkeeper of the
Street Department, appeared in Judge
Campbell's court yesterday to answer an
other charge of passing fraudulent demand
warrants.
The particular warrant in question was
for $24, on May 31, in the name of William
Little, for labor, which, it was alleged, was
false and fraudulent.
Ex-Judge Humphreys, for the defendant,
moved for a dismissal on the ground of
informality of the complaint. In the com
plaint it was stated that the defendant had
presented the claim to the Auditing Com
mittee of the Board of Supervisors. That
committee did not come under section 72
of the Penal Code, which designates who
shall allow or pay a claim.
The Judge agreed with defendant's coun
sel and dismissed the case.
Prosecuting Attorney Forbes said there
were other charges to be filed against the
defendant, who has already been held to
answer on one charge.

OF INTEREST TO LABOR.
Painters About to Organize Again and a
Mass-Meeting to Be Held for
That Purpose.
The journeymen painters are about to
organize again. Since local brotherhoods
_>os. 140. 25G and 175 of the Painters and
Decorators of America disbanded wages
have greatly fallen off, and a few score of
the men who were formerly in the order
have recently come together and decided
to call a meeting for the purpose of start
ing another organization.
With this end in view an informal meet
ing is to be held to-night at the Turk-street
Temple and then a call for a mass-meeting
will be formulated. James W. Rose, who
has for some time been engaged in bring
ing about the new organization, said last
night that it is proposed now to organize
upon progressive lines and with none of
the restrictions which frequently hamper
labor unions.
At the carpenters' mass-meeting held
this week in the Turk-street Temple, pur
suant to the call of the district council of
the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners
of America, reports of increase of member
ship were received from local brotherhoods
Nos. 22, 48*5 and 304, and also from branch
611 of the Amalgamated Society of Carpen
ters and Joiners, showing that there are
now 2000 union carpenters in this City. A
working card, as predicted by Thk Call,
was adopted, and a fifteen days' limit was
allowed for ail non-union carpenters to
come in and get cards. After that time
union carpenters will refuse to work on the
same jobs with non-union men.
The National Labor Army held an en

POLICE CHIEFS CHANGE
Schaffer Walks Out and Lloyd
Fills His Place in Oak
land. ''
THE MAYOR IN A NEW ROLE.
Davie Condemns the Commission
ers tor Doing What He Could
Not Do Himself.
Charles E. Lloyd took possession of the
office of the Chief of Police yesterday by
virtue of his appointment by the Board of
Public Works. Ex-Chief Schaffer made a
show of opposition and handed Mr. Lloyd
a formal protest, in which he declined to
surrender the office on the ground that his
term of office does not expire till Novem
ber, 1896,
Mr. Lloyd was on hand at 6 o'clock in
the morning, and having obtained a key
to the Chief's private office, he entered and
formally demanded the property in the
possession of Schaffer.
The old Chief refused to give it up and
protested. After doing so Schaffer went
to the Mayor's office and held a consulta
tion with Mayor Davie.
To the surprise of everybody Mayor
Davie is doing all in his power to oppose
Lloyd and has put himself on record as
saying that his appointment is illegal. He
asked the City Attorney for an opinion as
to whether the Board of Works can re
move an official at pleasure, and that
official stated that he believed all the pro
ceedings were regular and that the board
acted within the scope of its powers.
The Mayor's position is very unpopular
with nis party and there are threats that
he may be read out if he persists in his
efforts to prevent Populists from getting
the spoils. His loyalty to Chief Schaffer
can only be explained by an ante-election
pledge, with which Populist leaders de
clare they are not familiar.
Schaffer's friends regret that he did not
step out without any show of resentment.
When he took office his predecessor was
dismissed on charges which proved satis
factorily to the board that he was incom
petent. The charges were of the most
trivial nature. The Commissioners say
that in the case of Schaffer they are very
confident of being satisfied should he press
them to discharge him.
Chief Lloyd made his first appointment
yesterday afternoon. 0. E. Lloyd, a well
known Populist, was given the position
held by Louis Agnews, which was that of
chief clerk. Captains Wilson and Fletcher
were instructed by the new chief to run
things as usual, and Mr. Lloyd says there
will be no changes until he Has thoroughly
familiarized himself with the workings of
the department.

The Board of Town Trustees will hold
its regular meeting to-night. Among the
business that will come up for considera
tion is the granting of two street railroad
franchises, one to the Oakland Consoli-
dated Railway Company and the other to
W. E. Sell and Theodore Wagner. The
former is for an extension of the Con

portation service in that section other than
that of the Southern Pacific local trains.
Messrs. Sell and Wagner, who are stock
holders in the Berkeley Electric Lighting
Company, desire to construct an electric
road between East and West Berkeley to
follow the line of the horsecars now run
ning. Mr. Sell is the owner of the present
horsecar system and with Mr. Wagner is
joint owner of a franchise for a road from
Berkeley station to the terminus of Mr.
Sell's road, south along Shattuck avenue
to Bancroft way, east along the latter
i thoroughfare to College avenue and on
College avenue south to the town boun
dary.
In the event of the franchise being

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Recent Opinion of Solicitor- General
Reeve Widens the Scope of the
Chinese Exclusion Act.
The Washington dispatches of yester
day referred to a recent opinion rendered
by Solicitor-General Reeve, which con
siderably extends the scope of the Chinese
exclusion act.
It has been held in the past that only
Chinese engaged in mercantile pursuits
were entitled to the re-entry provisions of
the law, and it was to settle this point that
Collector Wise refused admission to Lew
Yee Soon, a restaurant-keeper of Los
Angeles. The opinion of Solicitor-General
Reeve is in effect that the law prohibiting
the re-entry into the United*. States of
Chinese who have* once gone out is re
stricted in its operations to laborers alone.
: The courts have decided : that Chinese
laundrymen come under the head of
skilled labor, and while this latest opinion
will not affect that, it will be the means of
extending privileges to thousands of celes
tials who have hitherto ranked as laborers.
"This question of restaurant-keepers and
those following kindred lines, coming
under the provisions of ; the law prohibit
ing the re-entry of laborers, had never
been decided," said Collector Wise last
night. "It was to settle this point that I
refused admission to Lew Yee Soon of Los
Angeles. I was anxious to bring th. mat
ter before the department and accordingly
reported . him as a laborer. I wanted an
official interpretation of the law on the
matter, becaufee cases of that kind are
springing up every day. There was not
the slightest conflict . of opinion ; between
the department and myself on the point in
question. 7 1 was after their opinion and
now lam satisfied. 7 ,
"All laborers under the treaty act who
Eossess $1000 or more or have families
ere are entitled to re-entry, provided they
are registered. The latitude now granted
the Chinese makes possible all sorts of
deceptions to be practiced on the Govern
ment, though I am preparing to inaugu
rate a system that will check a great deal
of this. I cannot say just at ■: present what
my plans are, for that would be to warn
the Chinese, and their ability to overcome
difficulties is well known."
GEEAT OEY FOE HELP.
Bank and File of Democratic Workers
Must Have Some Places.*
There is a cry from the Democratic
Macedonia for Budd to come and help the
rank and file of the party. The cry has
been heard in Sacramento and the Gover
nor responded by saying that he v will
either come in person next Saturday or
send some recommendations to the Board
of Health.
Dr., Williamson, .the Republican mem
ber of the board, was asked last evening if
it were true that the members of the board
had agreed to give up the rest of the ap
pointments to the rank and file of Demo
crats. »
"I do not know exactly what is meant
1 by the rank and file," replied the doctor,
"but I understand that Governor. Budd
intends to make some recommendations
to the board regarding appointments yet
to be made."
"Is it a fact, doctor, tbat Harbor Com
missioner Colnon's nephew, Dr. Dudley,
is to be appointed Resident Physician at
the City and County Hospital?"
"Dr. Dudley's application is on file,"
said Dr. Williamson, "but I believe no
change will be made at present in the
office applied for."
"Is it a fact, doctor, that Police Surgeon
Weil never signed a Democratic club roll,
and wouldn't know one if he saw it I"
"The board in making the appoint
ment," said Dr. Williamson, "considered
Dr. Weil's fitness as a surgeon rather than
his standing as a Democrat."
"When will the Board of Health hold
another caucus?"
"Perhaps next Saturday evening," was
the reply.
THEIR FLOATING WORK
The Golden Gate Christian
Endeavor Union Talks
of Sailors.
Two Well-Attended Meetings Held
at the Mariners-
Church.
The Mariners' Church, at the corner of
Drumm and Sacramento streets, was
crowded yesterday afternoon and evening
by enthusiastic members of the Golden
Gate Christian Endeavor Union.
The occasion was the thirty quar
terly convention. The building had been
prettily decorated with flowers and bunt
ing, and in honor of the convention taking
place in the Mariners' Church especial
prominence was given to the floating
work, which forms one of the standing
committees of the Christian societies.
There are fifty societies in the Golden
Gate convention, and forty-nine of them
were represented yesterday.
In the afternoon there was a junior con
vention, led by Vera Pedlar, at which ad
dresses were made by Rev. Donald M.
Ross and Dr. G. Daniels. H. L. Black
well, who presided over the senior conven
tion, called the meeting to order promptly
at 8 p. M. After a service of praise and
prayer the reports of the secretary, Miss
Minnie E. Silsby, and the treasurer, R. J.
Paterson, were read and adopted.
An interesting address was made by
George W. Hams of tho United States
steamer Thetis, who -. looked ■ exceed
ingly picturesque in his man-of-wars
man's uniform, a garb ' which is par
ticularly suited to the rostrum of the
Mariners' Church, seeing that it resembles
in every detail the stern of a ship. -'I do
not mean," said George W. Haines, "to
submit a report of what we have done in
the navy. Our work is young, and for
what has been accomplished we have prin
cipally to thank those on shore. Our navy
is a public institution, and we see no rea
son why, in a Christian society, each ship
should not be a floating Bethel." The
speaker concluded by saying that what
had been accomplished on the Thetis was
a fair sample of the work and by the state
ment, "It is safe to say that our new flag
shin will be able to lead the squadron."
Rev. F. Flawitn, pastor of the Fourth
Congregational Church, gave a few
thoughts about the sailor, his pitfalls and
what the Christian Endeavorer can do for
him. "It is all very well to give the sailor
a little coffee and cake occasionally to keep
him from the saloon; the saloon-keeper is
not the sailor's worst enemy. What we
need is to protect him from the landshark
and provide a good sailors' boarding
house." M. C. Turner of San Diego, the
State superintendent of floating work,
made an address urging the Golden Gate
Union to make the most of its opportuni
ties to help the sailor.
He declared that the time to visit a ship
was before she was docked, and announced
his intention of boarding two newly ar
rived ships to-night, to hold services. A
number of ladies and gentlemen in the
audience volunteered their services, and
rendezvous was given at the Mariners'
Church. *
J. F. Mason's report for the credential
committee was read and adopted, and the
convention closed with a consecration
service, led by Rev. V. . W. Case.
FOLSOM-STREET BOULEVARD.
The Appropriation to lie Considered by
the Finance Committee To-Night.
The residents of the .Mission are anx
iously awaiting the action of the Finance
Committee of the Board of Supervisors to
night concerning the appropriation of
$80,000 for the proposed Folsom-street
boulevard. The promoters of the enter
prise have not been idle, though little con
cerning their movements has been seen re
cently in the public prints. Committees
from the property-owners and- improve
ment clubs along Folsom street have
waited on every member of the board and
these, with but a single exception, have ap
proved the plan.
Supervisor Taylor alone opposes the
boulevard. He says that this is a bad year
in which to make such extensive improve
ments and claims the additional tax will
fall too heavily at this time upon the small
property-holders and the poor taxpayers.
The Missionites, however, say that .Mr.
Taylor is trying to curry favor with the
rich, and that while claiming to . represent
the small property-owners, he is really do
ing the bidding of the wealthy.
"The situation as regards Folsom street,"
said A. B. Maguire yesterday, "is not gen
erally understood." If the people realized
that instead of asking for $80,000 for. the
boulevard we ask only ,000 there would
be no opposition. Such is the fact, too, for
while the amount of the appropriation is
$80,000, the condition of the street is ■ such
that if the boulevard idea is not carried out
and the old pavement is replaced the re
pairs will cost at least $50,000. In case the
basalt blocks ■ are V replaced on a cement
foundation as . required ,by a recent ordi
nance they will;, cost 7 cents a v foot more
than would bitumen. When these things
are considered it seems to me that every
thinking man will favor the boulevard plan
on : the - score of : economy if for no other
reason." 7 ' _". •
.In: case no action concerning the appro
priation is taken by the Finance Commit
tee to-night, the; board of governors of the
Associated: Cycling . Clubs i will, ; at; their

PALO ALTO UNIVERSITY.
Mrs. Stanford Talks About Its
Prospects 1 for the
Future.
AN OVERFLOW OF STUDENTS.
Living Will Be Made Cheaper for the
Scholars During the Term
Just Opened.
Outside of the cloud of litigation caused
by the suit of the Government against the
Stanford estate the prospects of the uni
versity at ; Palo Alto were never brighter
at the beginning of a term than they are
this year. Not only have many applica
tions for admission been refused for lack
of accommodations, but there are many
improvements in methods of management
which will be appreciated.
, Mrs. Stanford is taking an active personal
interest in all the many details and speaks
very encouragingly, even enthusiastically,
of the school and its progress. She left
Wednesday for a week's visit to Lake
Tahoe, there to enjoy a short respite from
the many cares wnich her large business
interests have brought about.
Just before her departure Mrs. Stanford
spoke freely about her hopes and plans re
garding the institution of learning. When
asked what she thought of certain intima
tions that efforts would be made should
the suit be lost to have Congress by special
act refund the money to the university
Mrs. Stanford replied :
"Oh, no ; that is only newspaper talk. If
the suit is lost the university will close."
Then, brightening up as if by an effort,
she added: "But the suit will not be lost.
I feel it. I have too much faith in my Cre
ator to think that. I sometimes think that
if such unselfishness as my husband
showed should have that result I would
almost lose faith in my God. lam very
hopeful, but I dare not plan on hopes
alone; so. no new buildings will be erected
this year.
"What I have remarked as the most dis
tinctive thin;* about the student body at
Stanford University is the seriousness and
the earnest interest they seem to take in
their work and their great loyalty to the
university. Dr. Jordan has remarked it,
too. I think, perhaps, too much is ex
pected at first of the college graduate.
Senator Stanford thought so. That is why
he wanted thoroughness in some one
branch, and that has been the great idea
at the university— specialization in one
thing in addition to a general education.
At first people took exception to such a
threatened overthrowing of old ideas, such
a departure from established precedent,
but it seems to be a success.
"Do you know Dr. Jordan has got a
great many positions for the students?
here appears some demand for them.
Only a little while ago he told me that he
had received a letter from Guatemala ask
ing for a good engineer, and they have sent
for one of the students to come to a uni
versity in Japan as a teacher."
Mrs. Stanford then spoke of some new
plans which she had adopted as regards
the boarding halls.
"Only to-day," she said, "I completed
arrangements for Encina and Roble halls.
Next year they are to be entirely in the
hands of Dr. Jordan, Professor Stillman
and Dr. Howard.
"For some reason the co-operative man
agement by students has not* kept Encina
Hall filled, but Roble, the girls' hall, has
always been full. I could not bear to ac
knowledge that that great, beautiful stone
building— Senator Stanford's pride with
its accommodations for 333 men, was a
failure, so I have made the room rent only
$10 a month, giving the roomers the privi
lege of eating wherever they please. The
dining-room will probably be rented to a
hotel man of Redwood City, who is very
anxious to get it, and the board will prob
ably De better and cheaper than it was
when the students hired their own caterer.
Grover Leases the Alcazar.
Leonard Grover has taken a two years' lease
of the Alcazar Theater. He will commence his
season in September and will bring some val
uable artists from the East to his aid. It is his
intention to form one of the best comedy com
antes in the country. For several months he
as been gathering a repertoire. Miss Gracie
Plaisted, late of the Tivoli, has signed with
Mr. Grover for the coming season.

[SPECIAL TO OCB LADY _.__DE_3. J
Only a few years ago even the medical
profession scouted the idea that young
girls could suffer from the misery of uterus
troubles.
■ That form of disease, it was claimed,
came wily to married women.

When Lydia E. Pinkhnm first •__.. out
the news of her great discovery, there
was no lack of harsh speech from those
whose practice and opinions she set at
defiance, >
But when young girls by the hundreds
were absolutely cured by Lydia E. Pink-
ham's Vegetable Compound, then tho
tongues of the traducers were stilled, anti
faith was allowed to live in the hearts of
the people.
Young girls are subject to this trouble.
It robs them of the. buoyancy of youth.
It makes all effort distasteful.
It causes retention and suppression of
menses, leucorrhcea, severe headache,
waxy complexion, depression, weakness,
loss of appetite and interest.
Certainly mothers ought to know that
these are all symptoms of the one cause
of nearly all the suffering that comes to
women; and to save their daughters
ought to begin treatment at once.
Xydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound is the surest and most natural
remedy for women ever compounded. It
will accomplish its work with certainty.
BE STRONG.
EVERY MAN WHO LACKS THE
strength of perfect, manhood can re-
gain it from Dr. Sanden's Electric Belt.
