CYCLER BECKER HERE.
The Crack Five - Mile Rider
Returns From the National
Circuit.
(i-X. C. C. Professional Entries Will
Be Accepted by Australian
Associations.
W. F. Pecker oi Minneapolis, one of the
crack cycle racers of the world, arrived
here yesterday from Los Angeles, where
he has been since the latter part of last
week, io spend the winter on the coast.
Becker came direct from th • Southern
circuit, stopping off at L r >s Angeles to get
nn idea whether it would be worth his
while to enter Spier's Thanksgiving day
handicap.
Becker is a big drawing card at any
meet and he know-, it, and feels that he
is entitled to "appearance money." As
be and Spier did not come to terms he hes
come here, but may go back and lake a
chance for the big purse in the handicap
.'how.
Becker was here last season and
appeared at the Velodrome and
the Pavilion indoor meet. He was
almost invincible at any distance,
particularly at live miles. He held the
American championship for this dis anre
for the season of 1896 97, defeating Bald,
Cooper and other Fa tern cracKs.
BeeKer rlies the colors ofiheOlymiic
Club Wheelmen and i-> being welcomed
back and enter ained by the members of
that club. He will probably jidn the C. A. C.
CJ a: once and will be a strong addition to
its i rofe-sion i talent.
The C. A. C. C. officials received grati
fying news by the Mariposa from Austra
lia. It is to the effect that the racing as
sociations there will be glad to accept t c
entries o; any California rider** who may
li-«pperiI i-«p peri to go tbere. Some time auo. when i
'/.. gier talked of going to Aus:raiia for a i
beacon'-* racing, Ui" question aro-e j
whether bis atinns with »he C. A. C. :
C. would ii"'. debar him. Mr. Welch at
once corresponded wi.h the official- there ■
and has just received a reply to the effect {
that the racing association of Australia
I recognizes the C. A. C. C. as a contem- j
I porary eye ing body, in control of racing j
ie Pacific Coast, and as such will
rnize its suspensions and accept its
»*°vtr es the tame as from any o her cycling
body. This is a great victory lor 'he Cali
fornia ai-sociatiin, and the officials are
much pleased <ii<-reat.
CHOYNSKI AND JACKSON
The Colored Heavy-Weieht
Champion May Soon Enter
the King Asrain.
The Clever California!! Will Give
Peter a Chance Provided He
Whips Jeffries.
Peter Jackson, the famous colored
heavy-weight pugilist who holds the title
of champion of England and Australia, is
in a fair way to secure a match, after
months of waiting.
Jackson had a chat with Eddie Graney a
few days ago on matters tbat pertained to
fisticuffs, and the result was that Graney
imormed Jackson tbat in ease Choynski
should be successful in his fight witn
Jeffries, which will take place on tne 30 1
of this monih in Woodward's Pavilion, he
(Jackson) will be afforded an opportunity
to prove lot action of his numer
ous friends if he is still a fit candidate to
uphold championship honors.
, In other words. Choynski has expressed
- desire to meet Jackson in the ring, and,
doubtless, aitic.es of agreement will be
.-igned by Cnoynski and Jackson for a
fight to take place tome time in Decem
ber, provided, of course, th. t the Cai-for
nian whips the Los Angeles neavy-weight
in anything like poiisbe i style.
Jackson is eiated over the prospect of
a meeting with one of the topnotchers at
an earl." dale and he wi.l soon arrange for j
training quarters. Doubtless Peter the j
Great will se.ect Joe Diev.s' hostelry on j
the San Leandro road, at which place he
trained for all the battles lie engaged in
whiie on the coast.
Jackson has never issued a challenge,
but since his arrival in this country from
England he has s'gnitied a desire io fi-;ht
any mail, bar none, and Choynski has
been first to talk u-in. with film.
Graney, who looks alter Choynski's in
terests on this coast, stated yesterday that
Choynski will leave immediaiely for New
Orleans after his tight with Jeffries, as lie
is booked to spar .Alexander Gre^gains
ten rounds before one of the boxing clubs
of t; c yellow lever city. This will not in
terfere, however, with his proposed con
test wiih Jarkton.

Nearly Ended in Murder on
the Water front.
A southeast hurricane is raging from
Eureka to Cape Flattery and vessels south
bound must be having a hard time of it.
Tue steamer State of California was due
at Astoria last Wednesday morning, bu:
the chances are tnat she is hove to
somewhere off the Columbia River await
ing "a chance to get in. The Umatilla,
from Puget Sound for San Francisco,
must also have encountered the full force
of the storm. Sue was due here yesterday
morning, but at sundown she had not
been sighted. Wednesday morning it
was blowing ninly-tive mil an hour off
the Oregon coast and yesierday the storm
had reached Humboldt. The steamer
Humboidt from San Francisco got into
Eureka, but Captain Bounitiela reports
that the bar was breaking and the weather
very heavy outside. At the rate it i.->
ravelin.: me storm should reach San
Francisco to-day, ir it does not die out in
me mean:
The bar-bound fleet that cot out ol
Grays Harbor last Tuesday must also be
having a lively time ot it. " The fair wind
they had at starting would about brine
them to the Columbia River and there
they would meet the full force of the
storm. Tbey, like the other vessels, are
probably hove to awaiting a change In the

During yesterday afternoon the fog set

ish ship Speke from Newcastle, N. S. W.,
the bark Santiago and baruentine W. H.
Diamond irom Honolulu and the bri

them towed in. Three square-rigcers were
also in the offing, but owing to the fog the
tugs could not find tbem. Tne fcpeke
made the run in the fast urae of tifty-hve
days, beating s x other vessels all ihe way
from one day to three weeks.
The Oceanic Sieamsuip Company's
sieamer Mariposa arrived from Sydney
via Auckland. Apia and Honolulu at
an early hour vest-, morning. Among
| the pa sengers from Apia to Honolulu
| was l"n..ed Stales Consul Churchill, wno
is charged with malfeasance in office,
j and who is badly wanted in Washington.
I He told the passengers on the steamer
| that he was going to Japan, but the offi
! cers of the Mariposa think he wili take
| the next steamer to Vancouver, B. 1.,
i so as to be in touch with his relatives.
D. W. Maratta, United States Consul to
I Melbourne, Australia, accompanied by
! .vis wife and child, were also passengers
by the Mariposa. Mr. Maratia says thai
Australia is going ahead with leaps and
bounds, and that tbe banks have more
money in their Tan Its than they know
what to do with. Part of the steamer's
cargo was 325 000 sovereign, the balance
of trade in favor of the United States.
Six miners, bound for the Klondike, came

The Pacific Mail Company's steamer

the latter are Chinese in transit ior Hong

tnat the prisoner only very slightly re

Colon, was transferred to the Starbuck at
Acapuico and made chief officer of that
vessel.
Fung Lee, second cook of 'the river
steamer Sunol, attempted to commit sui
cide yesterday while the vessel was on
her way to Ban Francisco. He is only a
lad and has been studying very hard to
learn English. When the cook scolded
him yesterday morning he went to the
I'ideof the steamer and jumped over-,
board. Captain Larbig had the steamer 1
stopped and a boat on the way to the res

Ban Francisco is stirred to its very center over the model doll show to be given in the
maple room of the Palace Hotel, on the 23d and 24th of this month, under the auspices of
tue Doctors* Daughters, a charitable society. It is not to be an ordinary do.l snow, but
such a one as is given by -Vogue" In New York annually; and grown children as we'll as
the little ones can enjoy it. Tne dolls will be ov r two feet tall, and the dresses will be
made by some of the best modistes in the city. The leading milliners will also comp?te.
Tnere wi 1 be thirteen or fourteen classes, and there is to ba a speciul prize of $25, offered
by the Baroness yon Schroeder, lor the beat dressed doll dressed by any tie gin under 15.
While men-tailors and dressmakers are to com Iff tie boy dolls nre conspicuous by
their absence. Hut that fact needn't keep the Hale boys or th big boys away; indeed it
Aould be impossible to do that, for this season's debutantes will be there in full force and
help to serve the tea and chocolate.
The dolls will be judged on Monday evening, so the first comer on Tuesday will have
an opportunity to see the prize-winners. In the evening the dulls will be auctioned off by
the following nuctloneers: Mayor I'helan, Horace Plait, Wendell Kaston and T. T. Will
iams. The prize-winners will not be relumed to their dressers, but will be sold like the"
donated dolls, to the highest bidders. There will be this difference, though: any one buying
a prize-winner will not be allowed to take the doll from the building until the fete Is over.
Mis- Jennie Blair, who is chairman oi the entertainment committee, resurrected her be
loved old dolly, and had her renovated and dressed iv the clothes she wore when she her
self was no bigger than the doll, and so "Marie Louise"' will grace the window of Sherman

will be there, as well as the rest of Sau Francisco's population. Following are the officers

GUARDED PASSES
IN THE HILLS
A Vain Search for the
Accomplice -of Samuel
E. Moore.
Men With Shotguns in the
Ravines of the San Mateo
Mountains.
0. B. Andrews, One of the Victims of
the Eobben' Assault, Close '
to Death
Nearly a score of men armed with shot
guns and rifle searched the ravines and
canyons of the black hills along the divid
ing line between San Mateo and San Fran
cisco counties ad yes ter lay for the
tall man who is thought to be one of
the men who made a murderous attempt
to rob the proprietor of the Grand Hotel
at Baden early on Wedns-day morn
ing. Sheriff Mansfield of San Mateo
County directed the hunt after the biding
man, and he was assisted by Detective
Charles Cody of the San Francisco police
force, who was eetailed by Chief Lees for
that purpose. Dsjtective Cjdv is well ac
quainted with the territory in which the
tragic atlempt at robbery took place and
with the country in which it is thought
ti.e man is hiding.
Their search was without avail and at
dark last night ihe pursuing parties had
almost given up hope of catching the
fiendish burirlar, believing thai he had
lai-t-d to lhe city and put haps further
away from their pursuit.
All the roads and trails leading through
the bills into San Franciaco nave been
closely guarded since ihe time of the bo d
assault ot the robbers and ail the roads
southward from Buden have been watched
by armed men, but no trace of the fleeing
man was found.
The man the posses are hunting for is
j the one who pointed a revolver at the
, I head of Patrick Ferre er, the proprietor
j oi the ho el, in the dark hallway of ihe
house. Ferreter grappled witn tho man
and was • etting the best of him w en the
; burglar called to his partner to shoot.
i Then the robber, who is believed to be ihe
prisoner in the Redwood City jail, opened
| fire and mortally wounded Andrews and
I severely injured Connolly, two of the
, guests of me hole!. In tne excitement
; that followed the wounding of the two
men the two burglars escaped.
A few hours laier Moore, who has a
| criminal record, was arreted near the
scene of the affray, -and the police believe
Ihe is tbe man who used the pistol. Tne
I men Ferreter grappled with and whom the
police and , posses are looking for is
I thought to have some cuis and bruises
i about his head and face as a result of the
; fight.
Andrews rested easily all yesterday and
I last nigh; at St. Mary's Hospital, but tne
' physicians hold out no hopes of his re
i covery. The bullet from the robber's re
i volver which pierced the injured man's
i abdomen was found imbedded in the
I spine, and the wound produced was one
| whicn mutt within a few days cause death.
THE POLiuE PARADE.
It Has Been Fixed to lake Place
Next Wednesday After
noon.
The annual inspection and review of the
police force has been definitely fixed for
Wednesday afternoon next, and Chief Lees
yesterday notifiod the cipiains of the dif
ferent districts to that effect and to nave
everything in readiness lo r the auspicious
event.
The delny this year has been cacsed by
the new helmets. It was deemed advis
able to wail till the helmets were distribu
ted, and that as now been accomplished.
Wednesday -afternoon Captain Witt
man's division paraded on Van Ness ave
nue, the men waring the new helmet,
which i< much better than the other and
gives toe men a smarter appearance.
The different divisions have been drill
ing for weeks, and the men will be glad
when the event is over.
GRAVE CHARGES
AGAINST JEROME
Eugene A. Beauce Files a
Protest in the Treasury
Department.
Says He Was Jus-gled Out of
His Position Contrary to
the Rules.
He Calls Attention to a Strange
Mixture of Duties and
Salaries.
A protest irom Eugene A. Beauce has
been received by the Treasury Depart
ment in Washington, and Special Agent
Moore has been instructed to make an in
vestigation into the truth of the state
ments made in the protest and to report
to headquarters concerning the same.
Mr. Beauce was until recently a clerk in
the Custom-house under civil service
regulations, but was removed on a charge
of insubordination after Colonel Jackson
assumed the oflice of Collector of Cus
toms. The lolloping is the text of Mr.
Beauce's protest:
1 respectlully represent that I, Eugene A.
Beauce, a college graduate and a citizen of
the United Mali s, was on July 21, 1897, sum
marily dismissed irom the customs service at
the port ol San Francisco (where I had been
! employed for over nine years under and by
I virtue of the civil service law), without pre
vious knowledge oi iniimatiou of such dis-
I ruiss-w. After my dismissal, the Collector of
] the Port, John P. Jackson, informed me that
he had removed me upon verbal charges pre
ferred by a fellow cleik, one V. W. dishing, a
subordinate in the division in which 1 was
employed. The general charge was insubor
dination to said Cusnli
1 submit that said Cusnlng was never clothed
wuh supervisory powers, and that he and 1,
rs subordina ed, were directly subject tothe
Deputy Collector of our division, at that time
Colonel J. J. Tobin, whose voluntary state*
ment ol my efficiency aid good conduct is on
j file with the Civil Service Commission at
i \\ ashington.
When 1 a-sked the Collector if the executive
order of Ju y 27. 1897, did not operate in my
Case he said that be had not received the or
der, and Him lie was acting under tne old
method of procedure, as told him by li. B.
Jerome, a clerk in tbe customs service. I sub
mli thai said Jerome willful;}- misled the Col
lector when be advised him to remove me
without grunting me a hearing, ior he well
knew, at least irom the newspapers, that the
executive order was in effect on the day it
was promulgated— viz. : July 27. 1897— 1 hay
! ing been removed July 31," 1a97. four days
I later, and being a Government « fficer during
those four days l was legally entitled to ah the
! benefits of the civil-service law.
1 lurther r*-pecuully cnarge upon Informa
; tion and be lie i thai said E. B. Jerome willfully
! misled and deceived ihe Collector by staling
I mat said Cashing was my superior officer
when he well knew. mat said Cashing had uo
i authority other than that appertaining to his
j own desk. 1 bad never been apprised of such
; a condition and submit tnat It was utterly
| impossible for me to be insubordinate to a
j subordinate. Any other charges cff.-cting mp
character as a gentleman or my ability as a
c eric 1 brand as unqualifiedly laise, and I
sh, ill ever pray ior ihe opportunity lo prove
i their falsity.
1 lurther represent on information and be
lief that said E. B. Jerome an 1 F. W. lushing
together conspired, and did wiliiuily ami ma
liciously misrepresent me io the Collector of
Customs lor the purpose ot causing my dis
missal from the customs service.. Tne motive
: of Cushing was to gratify a petty personal
I animosity toward m-; the motive of Jerome,
j that lie might thereby through corrupt ana
illegal legerdemain cause the promotion of on*
of bis favor lies, and thai by my dismissal he
did succeed In prevailing upon me Collector
10 recommend or promo. ion one George
Kenny, typewriter iv the Collector's' oflice;
said Kenny's salary hud been recommended
to be reduc.-d from $1201) to $1001) per an
num; said Kenny was thereupon promoted
to $1400 per annum, t.iiis aping the pro
posed cut in his salary of $1200.
Said Kenny, however, has not been assigned
to the 'iesk from which 1 was removed, but is
j still performing his oid diii as typewriter.
I further represent thai the duties of the
j desk whicn 1 occupied were compile led,
| multifarious and onerous, and required the
services ol a competent clerk. Th y were in I
; effect: I
First— The transcribing of regular warehouse i
| entries on the warehouse ledgers. |
s-econd — The transcribing of liquidation! of
I said entries.
Third THe calculation of the duties on
i wit. draw entries for consumption.
Fourth— entering of same on warehouse
ledgers.
Firth— Credits entered on export entries.
Sixth— The entering of same on warehouse
j ledgers.
Seventh— Entering the date of payment of
| withdrawal entries on warehouse ledgers.
Eighth— Numbering such entries.
Such duties e.'HalleJ a vast amount of labor
| on my pari, which I performed in the main
! without any assistance, very oiten having
| been obliged to work long before and long
j alter the regular hours. I tied been led to be- j
i lieve by the clerk whom I succeeded that
Cushing was to help me when occasion needed, I
but I have received very scum assistance from
him, an io gli the Deputy Collector in charge I
of the division had ou several occasions or
dered him to assist me. 1 appea. to every
merchant and customs broker at the port of i
Sac Francisco With whom I transacted busi
ness during my period of official service, in
prooi oi the fact that I was prompt, correct,
rapid and obliging to all alike, and not one
scintilla of complaint was ever made of my
methods at the desk 1 occupied.
The worked the desk which I occupied is
now being performed by one Rawlins, who,
when first a ppoinied, succeeded to Kenny's for
mer salary ol $1200 per annum, but has since
been reduced to $1000 per annum, the cut in
tended lor Kenny having f. len upon said
Kawi.iis. who is now performing me samel
duties tor $1000 per annum for which I re
ceived $1400;
A LEAK'S SUICIDE.
A Man of Three Score u«l Ten Shoots
Himself in the Head.
The dead body of an unknown man was
found yesterday afternoon lying on the
trail which leads from Land's End, near
Point Linos, to the rocky beacn below.
By the side of the body was a pistol, with

The deceased was dressed in a pair of
new overalls, a vest,- a -blue shirt and a

the Management of the
Affair,
Merchants' Associations and Mining
Organizations Will Assist iD
the Work.
A fair under the direction of the Me
chanics' Institute will be held in connec
tion with the Golden Jubilee celebration.
The Merchants' Association, the State
Board of Trade, the Manufacturers' and
Producer-' Association, the Alaskan Trade
Committee and the Pioneers will work
witn the trustees ol the institute to make
the fair a success.
Delegates from these various organiza
tions met with the directors of the insti
tute yesterday afternoon, and after dis
cussing the scheme fully the institute de
cided to accept the proposition made it.
A committee, consisting of two members
of each organization, was appointed to
confer with the trustees of the institute
and arrange plans for the fair.
Mayor Phelun is chairman of the com
mittee and the members are: Merchants'
Association, A. S Baldwin, Jonn E.
Quinn, San Francisco Miners' Associa
tion, K. H. Benjamin, B. T. Lacy, State
Board oi Trade, J. S. Emery, J. A. Pi! Cher,

Julian Bonn lag, S. J. Hendy.
This committee will meet* this evening
and expect to get own to work imme
diately, as the members fully realize the
very short lime they have in which to do
a lar.e amount of work.
Among the exhibits at the fair there
will be a representation oi bow mining is
curried on in California ami Alaska.
A number of people on ti eir way to
Alaska are expected Here about this time
and this will be a good lesson 10 them in
mining methods.
Ii is hoped thai by advertising this fair
a large portion of the people bound
for Alaska who would ' otherwise have
gone by way of Seanle will be brought
here.
The mining men of the State are much
interested in me fair, and Colonel S. K.
Thornton promised the committed .hat
there would be an exhit.it of mining from
every county in the Suite. W.th the c I*>
bration to be arranged by the Pioneers
and the Native Sons ami. this fair, it is
hoped to make the golden jubilee a
notable success.
CHINAMEN DEPORTED.
Half a Hundred Also Will liemaln in
tiie Flowery Kingdom.
Seven Chinamen were deported yester
day on the steamer Coptic by Collector
Jackson. Their names are: Leong Cnung,
Kfff.il Yeung, Kwi.n Sack. Lai Kwing,
Lang Sui Chee, Chan Jan and Ji X.wok.
They came here on the preceding steamer
provided with section 6 certificates at
testing thai they were other than laborers.
The testimony taken by the Chinese
Bureau conflicted in many essentials with
the statements on the lace of the certifi
caies. Several merchants doing business
in this city apDeared before the bureau
and swore that the now arrivals who
claimed to be members of iheir firms
were not and never had been such, and
that they did not know t>'<e strangers.
It is surmised that the new-comers
failed to mane he usual payment in such
cases provided, or that tn y made a mis
take in the names and locations of the
firms of which they claimed to be mem
bers.
No honest Chinese laborer willing to
pay the lee has ever yet been repudiated
by the firm of which he claimed to be a
member.
There also went on the Coptic 125 labor
ers with return certificates, 40 laborers
without them, end 50 other than laborer*,
who surrendered their registration certifi
cates. :md will remain in China.
