LoxvoN, June 20.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to the Ber.|—The play of society on the Lyceum stage this evening was with a great historic cast, yet to empty benches. The stage was converted into a tapestry-walled and bunting-roofed salon. The footlights were changed into a hedge of palms and ferns, Tapestry curtains looped at the proscenium eave the view a delicately lighted and silent auditorium. In the center of the carpeted stage was an immense circular d uner table 125 feet in circumterence, in the center of which wasa bed of yellow roses elghteen feet around. The occasion was the Jubilee dinner by Irving, a veritable King Henry of the Round Table. James G, Blaine and Lord Kandolph Churchill on the mana- ger's right took political cues of each other, Verry Belmont was enjoying turtle soup with the sculptor poet, Story, who was happy in the possession of a three-day old Oxford LL.D. Minister Phelps takes American punch with Burn and the editor of London The editor of the Contemporary takes wine with his new contributor, W. I1. Hurl- bert, and the novelist, William Bl Pub- lishers Osgood and MacMillan chat with Au- thors Anstey, I’lil Robinson and Hatton. Art cares for the courses which are furnished by the great Gunter, of Berkeley square. McKenzie over Strasbourg pie discourses with Alma Tadema about the crown prince’s throat, moisteniug his own the cally, George Lewis and drink together, represent- ing the bar. mund Gosse traces menu poetry with his fork, Toole amuses half a dozen philosophers and professors, while youngsters of promise but not yet enough known for characterization try to feel how &oes a debut on the Lyceum stage even under & mere serviette. When the coffee comes all the Ameticans from Blaine and Belmont down begin to look loquacious, and even Churchill's lips quiver. ‘Then Irving rises atter three hours of superb dining. He says, “Only one toast, gentlemen.” Now he glances at Blaine and Phelps, next towards Churchill, Prot. Kay, Lancaster and other British publicists, and adds, “Kinsmen, the health of kinsmen.” Finally clouds of Cuban smoke cross the mystic orchestral border, permeate the audi- torium, rise to the olympian seats of the gallery gods until midnight comes, Then the brilliant cast departs, the host giving each his blessing as a Vicar of Waketield that succeeds this play of knife and fork. The Egyptian Convention, LONDON, June 26, —The time set for the slgning of the Egyptian convention expires to-norrow. 1t is asserted that If the sultan does not sign, the special British envoy will depart immediately from Constantinople. Harper and Rascality, Cixeisyat, O., June 26.—[Special Tele- gram to the Brk.|—It is becoming evident that Harper was the sole genius that inspired the greatsteal. He makes the lame excuse that he got into the deal and had to stick 1t out, but developments are more and more damaging to Mr. Harper. He made his clerks do dishonorable and even criminal things. He lied right and left, and through it all was a8 cheery and light-hearted as though he were walking in the ways of righteousness, 1t is pretiy definitely ascertained now that Wilshire, Eckert & Co, only last week were lowed by Iarper to overdraw $210,000 on account. and that Whitely, Fassler & Kelly, of Springfield, were allowed to overdraw $80,000 on’ aceount. their general loose, haphazard and slipshod way of doing business.

To a BEE reporter, who visited him at his residence on Seventeenth street near Jackson yesterday afternoon, Mr. Bushman said he had no doubt the dispatch referred to his nephew Fred Weiler. Both the boy's parents died when he was abont two years old and his uncle has taken caré of him ever since. He was thirteen yearsold. Al though a littie wild, he was nota bad boy, his uncle says, and he had been attending the school ‘of the Franciscan fathers at Quiney, I1l., for n year past, and had been - doing well until about a week ago, when Mr. Bushman received & letter from one of the faculty stating that he had disappeared and left no wor as to where he was going. Mr, Bushman did not hear of his nephew again until he saw the account of his death in the Beg. He has telographed to the Wells-Fargo express office at La Junta asking the agentto forward the remains to Omaha, but at alate hour last night had recerved no reply. Indeed, the only notice of the boy's death so far re- ceived by Mr. Bushman is that which ap- peared in the Erk. Funeral of H. D, Jones. The funeral of H. D, Jones, who died on Friday last of consumption, took place yesterday afternoon at 2:30 p. m., under the auspices of the Knights of Pythins. The remains were buried in Prospect Hill cemetery, Mr. Jones was formerly a clerk at the Metropolitan, and more recently at the Windsor. He suftered with consumption for several years prior to his death, and had trav. eled extensively in the vain hope of regaining his health. s Polsoned Through Jealousy.

Fort Ross you know, was ablished in 1811, Well, finally the gun was given to Sutter by the commandant of the fort, and was then mounted on the wall of Fort Sutter. When the flag of United States hoisted over the fort at sunrise on the 12th of July, 1846, this venerable cannon roared right' lustily in honor of the event. Subscquently the gun was used by Commodore Stockton in his advance from an~ Pedro to Los Angeles, and it played « conspicuous part in the engagement at San Pasqual, December 6,1846, and again at Los Angeles on the Sth and 9th of Jan- uary, 1847, The gun was then tran Colonel Mason of the Fi ates dragoons, and he turned it to Sutton, who gave 1t to the Pioneer society.

He was seen, pursued and captured, but not before he had thrown the box into the bay. That was & sorry deed for Jenkins, for that very day the vigilantes took charge of him and determined to make an example of him that should strike terror into the hearts of the lawless hordes thronging the city. Jenkins was tried by the vigilantes, con- victed and sentenced to death, and that night was hanged to a beam 1n the old abode building on the plaza, reiays of men holding the rope all night.” The vigilantes didn’t know anything about a bill of exceptions of & stay of execution of judgment pending an appeal to the supreme court. The box was presented to the pioneers by H. W. Neal and W. E. Domett, two of the oldest pilots in the harbor. That clock over there was used by the vigilantes in '36 in their hull, and that break in the frame was done by a bullet.” ‘While the pioneer editor had been re- counting this table of the troublous viz- ilante times, the reporter had kicked up a surveyor's chain, rusty with age and battered with service. In itself the chain was nothing, but the inseription upon though terse, established the historical value of the relic beyonda doubt. The chain, 80 inseription said, was used by Jasper O'Farrell in laying off the city of San Francisco i 1841, O'Farrell was a state senator, and from him the present O'Farrell street takes its name. Close by the chain was placed a coflee pot used by the millionaire James Lick. ‘‘Here is a relic, Mr. Reporter, that re- calls our debt of gratitude to Lafayette, foritisaslat from a door of the ship Cadmus, which brought that nobleman to America on the occasion of his visit in 1834, The vessel was broken up in this harbor in 1858." ‘“That bell over there,” continued Mr. Livingstone, lpumung with his cane to a fire-alarm bell, “was the first fire-alarm bell ever in this city. It was the proper- ty of theold Monumental, No. 6, volun- teer fire company. he real interest lies 1 the fact that this was the bell used by the vigilantes in 1856, It sounded the death kpell of Casey, Cory, and other malefac- tors executed by that memorable com- mittee. “I suppose this shovelful of dirt has some historical value or it would not be here, Mr. Livingstone,’’ remarked the re- porter as he pointed out his find. *‘Historical value? It ought to have some for Californians, for it i3 the first shovelfnl of dirt thrown when ground was broken January 8, 1863, for what is now the Central Pacific railroad. You notice that piece of a railway tie by it? Well, that is a bit of the last tie laid at Promontory point M 10, 1869, when the rond was finished. San Francisco had a great celebration that day. Can- nons boomed, bells were tolled, the tary turned ont in procession with civi- lians, and orators uired their eloquence. We thought California_capable of any- thing, and I'think we are all of the same opinion still.” “You see,”” said Mr. Livingstone, “that various articles are now in close juxta- position that were widely enough “apart afew years ago. For instance, that wooden cap yoa now have your hand on was the top of the hiberty pole that stood on the plaza from 1850 to 1861, and there just behind you iy a piece of timber from the northeast corner of the cabin oceu- pied by the ill-fated Donner party in 1846, away up amid the snows of the ~ Sierras.

That roughly-fashioned desk which takes up s0 much room 1n the corner was used by General Grant when, as lieatenant, he was stauoned at Humboldt. Traditions did say that Grant made the desk with his own hands, but when he was out here he knocked that romance all to pieces. Why,” said Mr. Livingstone, with a laugh, “Grant vowed that he never could make even a sled, lot alone so ambitious a-piece of architecture as a desk. The military coat hanging near the desk was, however, really and truly,as the children ay, worn by Grant at the surrender Vicksburg, " The straps on it were those worn by him during the Virginia cam- Paigns.” THE STATE KEEPS GROWING, What Our Correspondents Have to Bay Abont Business and Booms.
