MR. TOOHEY'S
BIG TEA PARTY
Merchants and Brokers
* Waiting for His
Successor.
List of Applicants for the Per
manent Position of
Examiner,
Toohey's Decisions Very Unsatisfac
tory and Overruled by the
Appraisers.
Importers of tea expect that in about
two weeks they will hear from Washing
ton with reference to the Examiner of
Tea?, who will be appointed permanently
for this port, the position being held at
present temporarily for ninety days by
Cornelius Toohey, vrhose term will expire
in less than a month.
A civil service examination was held
in this city some time ago for the posi
tion and the following-named gentlemen
went into the examination as applicants
ami the papers were aent to Washington
for review. Out of the number the three
highest will be selected and from those
three Collector Jackson will be asked to
make a selection of one:
Cornelius Toohey, 11.I 1 . M. Belton, Dr.
Robert 1. Bowie, S. B. Smnuels, G. F.
Emery, E. S. Watrous. L. Weintraub, T.
M< [nernev, C. C. Willis, C. Wright, C. E.
ns, EL E. Dnlan, E. B. Strong.
lea merchants are dissatisfied with Mr.
Trolley's rulings, ana they point to the
fact that with the exception of the teas
•^imported by Chinese merchants for use
• among their own i eople his decisions have
J been reversed by the United S:ates Board
of General Appraisers in New York City.
Hence they are anxious for the appoint
ment of his successor as speedily as pos
sible.
Tea experts say that it will be difficult
to eet a rirst-clas? man a3 Tea Examiner '
for $2000 per year, the iixed salary of the
piace, because that official will be required
to abandon his private business and de
vote hjmself exclusivey to the duties oi
| his office, which are not at all onerous,
but responsible. Tne position, they say,
is worth $6000 per annum.

that a good restorative medicine is

of Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable
BCompound.8 Compound.
If your case has progressed so that a
troublesome discharge is already es-
tablished, do not delay, take the Veg-
etable Compound at once, so as to tone
up your whole nervous system ; you
can get it at any reliable drug store.
You ought also to use a local applica-
tion, or else the corrosive discharge
will set up an inflammation and hard-
ening of the parts. Mrs. Pinkham's
Sanative Wash is put up in packets at
25 cents each. To relieve this painful
Condition this Sanative Wash is worth
s Its weight in geld. (^

pains and backache. Before using
. Mrs. Pinkham's Remedies it seemed
%that I had no strength at all. I was
in pain all over. I began to feel better
after taking the first dose of Vegetable
Compound. I have used five bottles,
and I feel like a new woman. I know
if other suffering women would only
try it, it would help them."

ACTIVITY AMOXG SHIPBUILDERS.
Much Demand for Lumber
Schooners, and New Ones
Building.
LARGE ORDERS STEADILY COIIIG W
Increased Foreign Trade Has Been
the Means of Eeopening Our
Shipyards.
To say that tbo ship-building industry
on tnis coast is in a prosperous condition
is patting the fact mildly. The statement
that it was booming would probably be
nearer ttie truth. On every hand tbe ship
yards, both large and small, are taxed to
tha limit of their capacity. Ani the work
that is now being acne is not all there is
to tell. There is more to come. New con-
tracts are coming in. and the builders
without exception report a pro-perous
condition of affairs with every indication
of a wonderful revival in the ship-building
industry.
Of course, the building of ships makes
work for the engine- builders and machin
ists. But engine-building is experiencing
a boom independent of local ship-building.
The superiority of American marine ma
chinery over that of foreign manufacture
is becoming recognized abroad, and or
ders wnich formerly went to European
manufacturers are now comin< to the
United States, and, what is of more inter
est locally, to San Francisco.
Tne Japanese seem to have come to the
conclusion that American-built ships are
equal to any in the world, and one of the
largest of the Japanese navigation com
panies has evidently become convinced
that we build the best engines in the
world. The Tokio Navigation Company,
which owns and operates a large number
of launches and small craft in Asiatic
waters, formerly equipped all their boats
with engines and machinery of English
and German manufacture. Not long a;o
they consented to give American engines
a trial, and ordered ssver <l of the I .iion
Gas Engine Company 01 this c.ty. They
must have given satisfaction, for the num
ber was increased, and the company now
have pleven engines w ich were made in
Pan Francisco in their service. A few
days ago another oraer came lor .six more,
and accompanying the order was the state
ment that the American engines and ma
chinery had been tound so much superior
to those of English and German manu
lacture that the company na 1 drc ded to
remove all the latter from the boats and
substitute machinery made in the United
States.
In addition to the engines being built
for tne Japanese company the Union Gas
Engine Company is constructing a 50
--horsepower engine to be placed in a 45-foot
launch being built by George \V. Xneass
for G. \Y. McNear of the Port Costa Flour
Company. The launch is expected to oe
one of the speed es'. on the bay. The com
pany is also building a 50- horsepower en
gine to bo placed in a 50-foot launch built
by the San Francisco Launch Company,
at North Beach, for James Kitterman,
and a 60- horse power engine to go in a
schooner owned by W. A. Kyan & Co.
The Fulton Iron Works are unusually
busy at present and are building three
schooners for the lumber trade, besides a
fishine schooner. The lumber schooners
are: One for J. S. Kirn ball & Co., to be l'.K)
fe«»t over all; one lor Robert Dollar, to be
160 feet over all. and one 155 feet in length
forJ. R. Hannify. The fishing f-chooner
is being built for A. Paladini and is to be
equipped with compound condensing en
gines.
The company's shipyard at Harbor
Yi'jw has lately been planked and large
cranes erected for the handling of heavy
masses of iron «nd Bteel. The company
is also building a new boat for the Cali
fornia Navigation Company, to be used on
tliH bay and Stockton route. The con
trnct calls for a speed of twenty knots an
hour.
The Kisdon Iron Works Is constructing
new b ilers for the tu* Aleri and the river
steamer Wary Garratt.
Hail Brothers, whose shipyard is lo
cated at fort Blakeley, on Puget Sound,
have launched recently two large schoon
ers, which are to be used in the lumber
trade, and have now a four-master on the
ways nearly ready to be put into the
water.
The gold discoveries in Alaska and the
rush for the north occasioned thereby have
been to a certain extent a /actor in in
creasing the demand for boats on this
coast; but the improved condition of
foreign as weli as domestic trade must be
held responsible for the present activity
in the ship-buildinf industry.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Many Matter* of Importance Now Under
Consideration.
A meeting of the board of trustees of
the Chamber of Commerce preliminary
to the quarterly meeting of the entire
body was held yesterday afternoon.
A letter was read from George \V. Mc-
Near and Girvin & Eyre, insurance
aeents, asking for its services to obtr.in
promptly a ruline from the proper
r.thcialsof Great Britain on the act of Par
liament entitled tne foreign prison
niaae nhort title act, 1897, and the bear
ing it may have on grain exported to the
United Kingdom in prison-made sacks as
wraj>per3 or comakers.
The committee of internal trade and
improvement submitted a report with
reference to the capucity of the State to
furnish steam for building purposes. A
letter was read ironi W. B. Waiter, chair
man of the Yokohama Chamber of Com

Japanese Government would, at the next

AFTER WARDEN HALE.
Manufacturers Protest Against His De
stroying Convict Marks on
Bags.
When Warden Hale of the State prison
at San Quentin asked of the Directors per
mission to discontinue making a dis
tinctive mark or stripe in the convict
made grain bags he was not aware that
he was sharpening a stick for himself, one
that might be a source ot irritation in the
very near future. His purpose in mak
ing this request was to prevent the
British customs officers from being able
lo distinguish between convict-made bacs
and tho.-L- made by free labor. TbeE.ielish
Parliament recently passed a law prohibit
ing the importation of all kinds of goods
made by convicts into that country and
Warden Hue, knowing that a large
amount of California grain its shipped in
tl.e sacks made by the State's convicts,
wished to get around this law by remov
ing all distinctive marks.
The Manufacturers and Producers' As
sociation, which is at nresent JocKing
born* with the Prison Directors on an
other matter, will take ui> this and make
things as unpleasant as possible for those
tOi-i have any hand in tins so-called "de
ception." MnnagerOicar Lswis ssys that
he will bring tne request of the Warden
and the permission of the Directors before
the next meeting of the association and
give it as mucn publicity as possible. Iv
discussing the matter Mr. Lewis >aid:
"1 certainly shall bring the case to the
attention of the board at the next meet
ing. It seems a little strange that the
Wartien of a place where convicts are
confined abould be the person to suggest
a method by which smuggling into an
other country could be accomplished.
Yet this is exactly what he is proposing
in order to get rid of his convict-made
goods. In other words he proposes to de
-1 derate, v yiolae a law of a ineudlv coun
try, and liim>elf an official whose duty it
is to have the custody of law-breakers.
Americans should respect the laws of
Engand if we wish England to respect
our laws."

IT RAISED
A BIG LAUGH
I Yellow Journalism and Its
Great Scoop on City
Finances,
A Deficit That Was Chestnutty
Magnified Tenfold and
Called News.
"Examiner" Enterprise That Made
the Paper the Butt of the
Municipal Employes.
Yellow journalism, as exemplified by
the Examiner, was the laughing-stock of
the City Hall yesterday as a result of the
faKe story regarding the deficit ia the city
funds, published yesterday morning.
Ttie Examiner, always behind with City
Hall news, discovered late in the after
noon that Auditor Brod Tick had filed a
financial report with the Board of Super
visors. Immediately there was a scare ia
the office of the yellow journal, reporters
i were "hurled into hacks," and as a reault
I a long and totally inaccurate story re
i garuing city finances was published.
The news was given to Examiner read
ers that tne "Auditor filed ois annual re
| port yesterday," and in glaring headlines
! it was set forth tr> Examiner readers that
! a deficit of $720,836 30 had been discovered
jin the city treasury. A column of figures,
! ostensibly from a recent product of the
I Auditor's office, were published to sup-
I port the headline! 1 .
The facts of the matter are these:
In June last Auditor Broderick made up
; the figures of hits annual stat -merit, ahow
j inn ihe condition of the city's finances,
J and the same were published'in The Call
iat the time. It was cv dert that mere
j was to be a deficit of about $79,000, and in
order to save ttie merchants who had
furnished the city with supplies the Audi
tor decided to c.irry over into the new
fiscal year the salaries of city employes,
amounting to fIHOOOO. This created a
surplus uf nearly JBO.OOO.
In order to guard against a deficit the
heads of departments met and talked over
the situation and presented their case to
the Supervisors.
In the new tax levy the shortage was
provided for.
Four weeks ago the Audi'.or's annual
statement, containing nothing bat what
I had already been published, was handed
j to the Supervisors.
The statement that was filed on Mon
i day was the Auditor's quarterly state
| ment, containing nothing conclusive and
sh wing no deficit of any kind.
There was no annnal statement, there
was no deficit of 1780,85881, there was
nothing but the lurid imagination and
i exaggeration of yellow journalism.

DIED FOR WANT
OF PATRONAGE
Art Association Mardi Gras
a Thing of the
Past
Lack of Support Last Year
and the Consequent Fail
urej the Cause.
This Season's Budd and Debutantes
Very Much Disappointed at
the News-
Unless some unforeseen aid come for
ward the annual Matdi Gras bail given by
the San Francisco Art Association is a
thing of the past. Lack of patronage i*
the principal cause — society did not take
the interest, in it that it should, and con
sequently it is to die an early death.
Year be .'ore last only 20 cents was
cleared and this last year only $20, this
leaving practically nothing in tne treas
ury for the association, for whose benefit
the ball was supposed to have been given.
Horace G. Piatt, president of the asso
ciation, when seen by a Call reporter
yesterday, said: "The chances nre 10 tol
against the ball. The ladies who were by
tteir own request appointed membsrs of
the reception committee last year did not
seem to grasp the responsibilities of their
position. Of the twenty who were ex
pected to serve on tuat committee only
two made their appearance. For some
unknown reason a report was circulated
around that a Mardi Gras ball was not
the plnce for a bud or debutantes, and so
many of them stayed away. While there
were many present, still some of them
that should have been there did not
come, and so soiled one of the prettiest
affairs of the season."
Mr. Platt seemed rather disgusted with
it all, and said that he did not see why
the association shou id go to the trouble to
pive an expensive ball if it was not going
to be patronized by those who particn
! larly asked that it should be given. '"Last
j year the board of director* did not want
to have it," he said, "but I wrestled with
them successfully, only to nave the thine
almost a failure after all. This year I
shall do not ing for it at ail, and I think
that the majority of the board feel the
same way about it."
Although the ball does not take place
until just before Lent each year, it has
always been the most discussed function
of the season. So this year the buds and
I debutantes are very much worried and
| disappointed about the report that the
Mardi Gras, in San Frnnci^co at least, is
a thing of the past. The affair has ai ,\ays
been such a pretty one that it is consid
! ered a shame lo have it stop because of
| the lacs of patronage.
