The competing road will start across the country just-‘in time ‘to ‘be considered a picnic: The: best ‘thing in - San Francisco is the public: sentiment : that tends-to make it better. A sentiment in favor ‘of home manufac- gures is one of ‘the best things a farmer can cultivate. Every voice that makes “itself heard in hese days is'in favor of advancement and mprovement. Improving the ‘streets is one of ‘the best ways of inducing capitalists to iriprove “their property. If you wish to.add to the signs of revival just sign the pledge of your business to the 8an-Joaquin road. While we are ‘talking of sunshine ‘and ‘business: the people of the East are still ebsorbed in blizzards and politics. Beyond ‘all ‘question,::San .

Toad will | work when it declares that Stockton'is “in the center: 'of a region of magnificent re- sources not one-hundredth part’ of which | has:been developed.”. Three Tgood - things are to the front this | week, subscribing to the stock of the San | Joaquin road, giving the right of way and signing the pledge to give business toit. Some. people have it in ‘their power to do all: of these- things and nearly everybody can do one of them. By the census of 1890 the population of Cincinnati- was 296,908, “Since’ that time, however, the city has incorporated several suburbs and now claims 353,000. This is the way Eastern citiés extend themselves and manage 'to keep ahead of their West- ern rivals, where there are noopportunities for increasing population in that way. The . suggestion of ‘a French savant to test the theory of boring to ascertain if the earth has a:molten interior raises the ques- tion of what would be ‘the best material out of which to make an auger that would withstand the heat. Tce is pretty hard, and it might-prove efficient -till- a.suhter- ranean temperature ~of 666 degrees .is reached, when beeswax might be used to | edvantage. A curious political ‘imbroglio is reported from Lexington, Ky, where a Chinaman, BSam Woi Tai, has been denied the right to file a petition as an independent candidate for Mayor. Sam, of course, is not a.citizen of the United States, and it is hard to. un- derstand how he got signersto his petition, but he got them just the same, and i3 now- posing as a reformer eager: to put the tity through the laundry process -and wash all the political dirty linen in'sight. Ina poll of the Massachusetts Legisla- ture -taken by the Boston' Post, as to .the Presidential preferences of ‘the members; out of 90 Republican. members 82 voted for Reed, and only two votes were given - for McKinley; ‘while out-of 52 Democrats, William E. Russell. received 21 " votes and Hill 13. These straws are interesting at this time only as an exhibit of the way the New England States are amusing them- selves with politics while the great West is sttending to business. Speaking of railroad passes in an inter- view the other day, Chauncey Depéw said: “I have known a case where a pass: judi- ciously given resciied: 8 man from environ- ments of total dépravity and placed him President of the ‘United States.””” This is the- best story Depew. - ever told., The rail- road pass as a means of political advance- ment is well understood, but as a means of redemption from depravity it: is a novelty. ‘We have all elements of a rousing. romance here and.Chauncey should write a book.. WThe latest idéa in- the way of canal en- the- twenty-four - locks :in the . “Welland Canal leading from- Lake Erie to Lake On- tario, and to make the -whole drop of 326 feet between these two -lakes in two pneu- matic balance locks, builf of steel, operated by compressed air, and large enough to admit vessels of ocean draught. It is rather curious.that in' an age which pro- jects feats ‘of this kind, there should be people able to read and ‘write, who deny that -modern engineering is capable. of building a dam' that*will impound the de- bris of an ordinary stream, or of construct- ing a canal to carry ifoff. . I VETO THE ORDER. The bituminous rock order, which, under the: circumstances, may: be Tightly: called infamous; was- passed by the Board of Su- pervisors yesterday by a vote of eight to four, The infamy of the-order lies in the fact that it deprives the City-of the advan- tages of competition in obtaining asphalt, gives ~ to- a combination . of dealers a monopoly in furnishing the material and to the Southern Pacific road a monopoly of hauling it. Such a jobis sobold a defiance of the people, and so open a fraud upon the City, that it might be fairly called highway robbery if it had not been carried out under the forms of law. It is the duty of Mayor Sutro te veto the order. His veto will be sufficient to kill it, for it would require mnine votes to pass it over the veto, ‘and he can ‘count on four members of the board to stand firmly with him. These four—Joseph I.- Dimond, C. L. Taylor, A. B, Spreckels and J. K. C. Hobbs—are men upon whom the people can rely in this emergency, .and if the Mayor unites with them the cunning plan to rob-the taxpayers will be foiled, the job will be smashed and the ring; despite its brass and triple steel, will be broken. Inthe play of this scheme- to serve the monopoly at the expense ‘of the peaple, Supervisor King has made himself partic- ularly conspicuous by his shiity showing first on one side and ‘then on the other. ‘When King voted with the true represen- tatives of the people we gave him credit for being in good company, bt were not too sanguine that he was going to stay there. We knéw his record. There wasno sur- prige. when he dodged the second vote, and still less when he voted ‘with the ringyes- terday. - The man is one of the worst spec- imens of boodle politicians whom boss rule ever raised to power in’ an -American mu- nicipality. A short time ago he was a hotel runner at the ferry and there acquired the impudence and the lungs that constitute all the stock in trade his venality hasto offer in exchange for money either in poli- ties or in business. If Mayor Sutro does his duty, the vote of yesterday will ‘be comparatively: harmless and will serve only to give the people a lesson in the importance of electing good men to office. - Men who vote for such pol- iticians ‘as ‘those who are- now seeking to surrender the interests of the city, hardly deserve a better government. The lesson should be learned thoroughly in order that better men may be elected hereafter. In the meantime ‘the people have but: these three words to-say the Mayor: Veto the order. CONCENTRATED EFFORT. In yesterday’s issue of the Cary, it was urged that all'attempts to create “booms’ along the line: of the San Joaquin Vailey road be promptly suppressed by the .con- servative residents of ‘each ‘community. This caution was suggested” by the infor- mation that property valuesin Stockéon liad risen immediately upon the announce- ment-of the decision to'inelude that city in the route. - As- yet there is no evidence of an undue’ advance’in priees, and it is-sin- cerely hoped - that no such misfortune will befall the State. But there is-a vast amount: of stored energy-among the people, for until the in- ception of the Valley road enterprise there has been no great movement tpon which this energy could be expended. Now that an occasion for its exercise has arisen there is danger of ‘its'taking a- wrong course in some. - ‘particulars; - Not: only ‘that; but hanging upon the skirts of every -such movement as this are hundreds of restless spirits;. some. honest. but visionary, and others professional schemers, who invari- ably do harm by misdirecting the energies of those who can-be swayed by them. It is ‘these that must be looked: after care- fully and kept constantly repressed. Concentration of effort is the one great factor in'achievements of every kind. The Valley road is now the great ‘thing before the peopte and all the efforts: of all good citizens should be centered upon-it. The many other things which the State so sorely needs wili come naturally and easily after that great and: overshadowing work has been done. No- matter how greatly other improvements are desired, any scat- tering-of effort upon them now would not only fail of its purpose but-will tend to prevent -the accomplishment of the one great thing that will - make them all possible. . Hence, speculation in Jand and all things else that distract the attention which it is necessary .~ that - the Valley road - should réceive would be a hampering and - per: nicious waste of energy. The things upon which “all efforts should be concentrated now are these: . ! Securing “signatures to the pledge by which shippers agree to throw their busi- ness to the people’s road, as advocated by the CaLL. Subscribing for shares in accordance with tlie plan of the Eraminer, by which the proprietor of that paper has agreed to give $1000 for every. $10,000 subscribed by the people. Securing the right of way. Letters have been .coming to the CALL since the pledge ‘was first mentioned ask- ing where it may be found. Many 'of | the pledges were “started out yesterday, and in 2 short' while the CaLr will “an- nounce “the -places’ where ‘they may be had.’ It is'the duty of every shipper not only to sign, but to induce others to sign. There are possibly some ‘who would neg- lect so important a service, but who would’ readily sign if requested to'do so.. Those who ‘are friendly to -the new road and yet have special reasons:for: not wishing the fact to be known: are earnestly requested to sign nevertheless; and are assuretl that the fact'will be Kept a secret. ~The statis- tical information. which the: pledges will furnish will be of great value.. The names. of those who are willing openly to declare themselves the friends of the people’s road will appear in the CArLy's published roll- of honor. ‘We have heretofore .shown how the do- nation of a right of way will prove 4 profit- able investment to every-one - who. makes it. - Apart from this consideration is the one of a sense of patriotic duty, which should indicate to each property-owner the: course he should take. % The Catn will be glad to publish the names of those who desire to inform it by letter that they will give a right of way through their lands free of charge. LEEDY' RESIGNATION. The resignation of Manager Leeds of the Traffic Association, which was read at the meeting yesterday, was not unexpected. As was stated in the letter of resignation, the assurance of fhe construction of the competing road left him nothing to do,and the logic of the situation was too plain to be mistaken. The people of S8an Franciscd'do not need to be reminded that under the manage- ment. of Mr. Leeds the Traffic Association has done good work for the City.. Thecon- ditions ‘that - called it into being, however, no longer exist. A wiser and more pro- gressive spirit prevails among the people. Instead of railing against the Southern Pa- cific and making futile appeals to a useless Railroad Commission, the people, headed by, enterprising capitalists, have under- | taken the work® of constructing a compet- ing road, theéreby putting an end to the ‘monopoly of transportation in this State, | not only for the present, but for all time, “In the ardor of -the new enterprise, how- ever, it would be unjust to overlook the work done by the members of the Traffic Association. - They devised a project for a competing road, have co-operated cordially with that now under way, and subscribed liberally to its stock. ‘They can look with gratification upon the work done in the past, and see in the near future ‘a realiza- tion of their plans for the emancipation of the City from' the evil effects of a mo- nopoly in transportation, - In all this work Mr. Leeds has taken a prominent part, and on his retirement from office may justly be congratulated. ‘Whether the Traffic ‘Association itself ‘will continue to exist much longer is prob- lematical. At the present time there seems to be little néed forit. The main duty of our merchants and ‘all business men at this time is to press forward the San Joaquin road. When that is once in opera- tion traffic questions will be settled in ac- cordance with the law of competition, and there will no longer be cause for complaint. Let our merchants who can afford it sub- seribe to the stock of the new road, and let. all take the CALL pledge to give their busi- ness to the road, and the future welfare of the State will be assured. REPUBLICANS; ATTENTION. The call issued yesterday by the Repub- lican National .League for a convention of league clubs to meet in Cleveland, Ohio, in June, is one that should receive -careful attention by the Republicans of the Pacific Coast, and particularly by those of Califor- nia,. We ought to have not only a full delegation at the convention, but a strong one. - Business of importance will be trans- acted, and ‘it is- not improbable that the proceedings. will- have much influence in determining where the National Conven- tion of the party will-be held in 1896 and what will:be the tenor of its platform: Under the ‘terms of the call, the ratio of representation will be six delegates at large from each State and Territory; four from each Congressional district, and one from each college Republican club in the United States represented in the American Repub- lican Collége League -at -Grand Rapids, Mich., April 5, 1895. - Inaddition to thess; there will be ‘a number of ex-officio dele- gates, consisting of the president, secretary and treasurer of the league, ‘one -vice- president and one executive member of the national organization from each State and Territory, and the president and secretary of each State and Territory leagne, making four ex-officio” delegates from ‘each. . This gives each State practically ten delegates at large.in addition to- the four from each Congressional district. - The total repre- sentation will exceed 2000 delegates, with an equal number of alternates, As San Francisco s an active candidate for ‘the honor of entertaining :the next Republican National Convention, the State should have a delegation of ‘able and influ- ential - men - at. this ‘great: assembly of league clubs. - A~ .good deal of effective work can bé done there in'the way of ¢o vincing leading Eastérn men of - the-advis- ability of holding the National Convention on this Coast, and such work will be found useful when 'the question of selection comes ‘up for discussion inthe National Committee. In 'addition - to -this issue; which, of course, will “only. be- indirectly before ‘the convention, there will be .the direct issue of discussing - party .politics, organization and the formation.of ‘a plan of .campaign. with special reference. to. the. Presidential year. :In the discussionof these matters the voice of the Great ‘West must be heard clearly ‘and decisively. The' vast plans of irrigation of arid lands, the improvement of Pacific Coast rivers and. harbors -and National assistance.in. providing a means for the revival of hydraulic mining, should be made prominent’ parts of the great pol- icy of .internal development for which the Republican party stands. The convention, in-short, will be one of great importance, not only to the Republi- can party, but to the whole Pacific:Coast. It is.certain the Democrats will ‘be swept from power in 1896, and that for many years thereafter the destinies of the Nation will ‘be controlled by Republicans: The Pacific Coast mnst look to her Republican representatives for weight and influence with the National Government. It be- hooves the party in California, therefore, to put its strongest men to the front. The league clubs of the State should begin the work this year. Let us have a delegation at. Cleveland that wil! nobly -illustrate California and advance the welfare of the West. THE HOME OF THE VINE, The deseription of St. Helena, published in yesterday’s Carr, was practically lim- ited ‘to the wine-making industry, upon which is based the wide fame of that de- | lightful part of the Napa. Valley. ‘In a recent editorial in the Cary, written with special reference to the natural charms of this wonderful valley, ground-was covered which included the whole. St. Helena lies above the point in the Napa River where navigation ends, and- hence its industries, the products of which aré dependent on rail transportation, are of nef so ‘general and commercial a character as those of Napa; but what is-lacking in variety is fully compensated for in quality.:- - The Napa and Sonoma valleys run par- allel; being ‘separated by a low range of picturesque mountains: . For years there has been a pleasant rivalry between them -as to which shonld produce the best wines. This rivalry, as well as the superb. natural conditions which exist, has resulted in the production of light wines, which have been one of the most efficacious of the causes for the fame of California abroad, for these wines are now regarded by connois- seurs everywhere as being among the best that the world produces. 2 g The wine-growers of France and- Italy would be amazed if they should see the splendid scale upon which the enterprise is- conducted in the vicinity of St. Helena, ‘Where, in Europe, a vineyard of ten or fif- teen acves is deemed a gerierous possession,. a few hundreds of acres often constitute a vineyard at St. Helena. On’an' equally noble scale are the wineries, vast structures of stone, of artistic architectural design, and constituting the exterior closingsof immense tunnels run into the mountains, where the wine ripens ina perfectly even temperature and free from all the disturb- ances which may occur in surface vaults. | The splendor of the picture does not stop there. 2 which constitutes the winery is sure to be seen the mansion of the owner—a noble villa, likely set in a park of native oaks, environed with a flower garden of exquisite beanty. All this means that these great enterprises are conducted by men and women of large means and refined tastes, FRANCISCO CALL, TU longer period than usual -better healtn than visual.: She s :fixe in retirement: Near the massive pile of stone |- 1 i which: in turn means that the growing of grapes and the making of wine constitute one of the most fascinating occupations known to man. Of course there are many small growers, whose profits are as good as those enjoyed by the larger growers, for wealth has no monopoly of thisalluring industry. 3 ; The wine-producing regions of the State, and particularly the section of which St. Helena is the center, have recently become objects of particular interest by reason of the combination of wine-makers. "Up to that time the profits of the industry had been comparatively small, and as a con- sequence the business was languishing. The wines were well worth to the producer double the prices at which they had been selling. A lack of proper organization for marketing the product worked a benefit to the brokers -at the expense of the pro- ducers, Under the new organization the producers receive double the price to which they had ‘been accustomed, without any addition to the amount which the con- sumer pays. -Thus very generous profits to the producer are assured; and hence St. Helena, with its splendid. and profitable wine industry, has suddenly engaged un- wonted attention. 4 ‘While wine-making is the . prominent industry of St. Helena, fruits. which .in other parts of California are grown .to so wonderful perfection thrive equally well there. The recently started enterprise of olive-planting is ‘highly commendable, for 8t. Helena is as well suited to olives as to grapes, It is'an’ easy inference that occupations s0. delightful - naturally attract the most enlightened people. "This is: sufficient to explain the high intelligence and refine- ‘ment of the population of this beautiful gem of the valley. OOMPLEX: PROBLEMS, The problem of our: relations to Central and ‘to South American States will ‘soon have to be solved by the adoption of some definite policy. Every year new complica- tions arise. -Most of those: countries are half lawless, and all of them: are ex- posed to incessant disturbances and fre- quent revolutions. . Their short-lived gov- ernments are continually involved in con- troversies with some European. power, and in most cases the Europeans -are the. ag- grieved - parties and have just causes of combplaint; S It is useless to expect these. complica- tions to cease.’ On the contrary, they are likely to increase from' year.to year. Ex- panding commerce ‘and " industry, forced forward by the resistless impulses-of ever- improving machinery, are by a constant pressure bringing- all. parts of the world into closer contact with one another. The dominant races are impelled- to go forward in spite of themselves. ' American enter- prise leaps forward to Hawaii. = British commerce- and ' German _emigration go everywhere. * When darkest Africa has been-invaded, can the indolent people of Central and ‘Sonth: America - hope to escape? U o In the past we have met these complex problems by an easy appeal to the Monroe doctrine. - That, however, is too indefinite for the present and is wholly inadequate for the future. "The issue before us is not the simple one:of preventing European powers from establisting dominion - in ‘America, which confronted our fathers, but the more complex one of how we can make trade and commerce secure in Cen- tral'and South America and give the ex- panding energies of civilized men a chance to ‘make ‘those conntries as-orderly ‘and prosperous as the rest of the world. 8o far as. Nicaragua is concerned, the problem is an:easy one. - 'We are going to construct 4 canal- there, and. . we ought. to establish ‘a- protectorate. Ourflag:should float there and our law should be enforced there.. ‘We shiould keep the peace in Nie- aragua and prevent.-any - complications with foreign. powers by making ourselves responsible for law:and order-and. ‘the pro- tection of property in all'the region round about the great canal.: In Veneézuela pre- vails a different condition -of affairs. - It is to our advantage to have that country de- veloped and improved. . ‘We “are not pre- pared, however, to undertake it: ourselves, and -the question - that -confronts us is whether: we - shall, ‘under -the cireum- stances; prevent Europeans from-doing- it, and be ready to.go to-war in- defense of a people who will neither “work themselyves nor permit others to work.

UP-TO-DATE IDEAS, A horseman in Hartford, Conn., according to | the Courant of that city, has devised a sulky that may accomplish wonders in the develop- ment of speed in trotting horses. It isa rather odd-looking arrangement, but its conception is based upon.several very important ¢onsid- erations. : 3 7 In running against time the horse should have as nearly absolute freedom of wind and. limb as possible, besides being relieved of draft. In other words he should be as naturedesigned him, and the inverntor of this sulky claims that irmore nearly accomplishes that end than any device yet made known. ? The -drivet’s seat is over the horse's hips, with the wheels a trifie in advance of the mid- die of the animal’s body. The central upright, extending from the wheel to the seat, is on & slight incline, and must necessarily help propel the wheels, thus Teducing the draft to the mini- mum. - A surcingle supports and- steadies the shafts, and straps running trom it to the pock- ets that inclose the ends of the shaits keep the sulky from running faster than the horse. The only necessities in the way of harness are the breastplate, the surcingle and the AROUND THE CORRIDORS. Senator John Torrie, formerly the Bacigalupi of Nevada, has left the battle-born State and located at San Francisco. He was a controlling ‘power in politics in Nevada while he was there and went to the'Senate four consecutive terms. His stronghold was the elimina.on of noxious animals, and everybody who had a -gopher poison or a wildcat scalp bill to. push, always ‘bowed low to Torrie, and it went through: He formerly voted with the Democratic party, but since Cleveland declared himself as opposed to the white metal he has deserted the Democracy and declared himselfa silver man for all time. “The Democrats only ‘broke their neck when they let that steal take place in the Carson mint,” said the Senator in the Occidental yes- terday. - “‘Cleveland will close it down as soon as: the culprits are located. ‘He only wants a chance.- Do you think he ‘wonld do anything 10 help the West get on its feet?

If the horse reats orotherwise misbehaves, makes a sidewise movement, he must land the sulky where he lands himself, with no danger of dishing the wheel. The inventor says that no “training down of overweights will be necessary when his vehicle is used, as the heavier the weight, within a reasonable limit, the’ more easily the vebicle will be propelled. . He also says that a horse may be more easily controlled from the new: location of ‘the seat than when the driver sits back of and a trifle lower than the horse. One of these sulkies is now building, and several horsemen who have seen the plans think very favorably of it, MORE BANK LITIGATION, P. F.

P.F.: Dundon, the ex-Supervisor, is the latest one to take up- the legal fight of ‘the creditors. and depositors -of the Pacific Bank. He has filed two suits in the Su- perior Court,.one against’ the officers and the other against the. stockholders of the bank, each one asking for the recovery of about $2,000,000.- - This. amount, he claims, is due to_all the creditors and depositors and incidentally, $2134 91 is due him. In - his complaint. Dundon states that fora long time prior to the: suspension of the bank, the officers neglected to super- vise its affairs,.and gave practically no per- sonal ‘care to. the institution whatever; they allowed " the. president and vice-presi- dent, he says; to Tun things just as they pleased ;* these two officers were allowed ‘to use their own discretion’ in making loans, investments - and - mortgages, and :they ‘accepted as securities' worthless notes and bonds; @nd: other - things which. are not. usttally: -accepted in’bond: dealings. The officers were also allowed, . he says, to take over $1,000,000 for -therr own use, and no security for the sameé . was: ever given., As aresultof. all this. mismanagement, he says, the bank was forced to close itsdoors. The bank is'said in the complaint toowe the $2,000,000 to about 1300 creditors and: depositors. Tt is asked -that each officer of the bank be made responsible for his share of the amount, and then in a suppleméntal suit he makes the same plea regarding the stockholders, .The defendants in- the suit | against the officers of the bank are R.

'WILL S00N SPEAK HIMSELF, Dr. Ketchum Says It Is the Men Who Need Converting the Most. “The question underlying all this dis- ¢ussion is whether we, as members of & Christian church, are willing to meet Qnd discuss the social issues which are pressing to the front, and require solution at Chris- tian hands. If we shut off a man like Herron it seems like saying to the people, “We are -comfortably off ourselvesand do not want to know your side of the social questior.”” 1t was in the discussion over Professor George Herron that Rev:M. J.Ferguson said the above words to the Congregational Mon- day Club. ‘A week ago Rev. Dr. Brown Igarl accused the professor of being an anarchist, and had implored the club not to include an inaorsement in the invitation which it had extended to him to speak before it when he visits: San Francisco. Yesterday Rev. Dr. Pullen, who befriends the pro- fessor, read a paper—'‘A True View of Dr. Herron”—in which the- following views were expressed : I know something of the difficulty of seelnfi clearly while the scales of prejudice are stil clogging the organs of soul:sight, or when the strabismus of mental outlook, due to some misfortune in the past, has tixed itself asa habit upon us. Men appeared as trees walk- ing, to our view, in process of getting bodily union restored. They appear as monsters now, at least Dr. Herron séems to 100k so to someé. Dr. Herron has been accused for pressing into foolish literalism the language of the ser= mon on the mount, and at the same time show- ing no signs of & literal obedience to it himself. As far asI know the chief objection to Dr. Herron’s writings. is not upon his theo- logical utterances or tendencies. am gratified at this, notwithstanding his affirmed looseness and illogicalness of theology has been worthy of exposure by some theologi- cal thinkers. Dr. Herron believes in the awful fact of human sin, and- he doesnot stop to make dis- tinctions between individual sin and socialized sin; between sin done by sinners and sin done by saints. He has thrust the pointed staff of his polished rhetorical thought into_the slime that lies at the bottom of the muddy stream of social existence, which condemns him in the opinion of some so-called judicial minds. The speaker congluded by stnu‘ui that he had not become Herronized, although he had a profound admiration for Herron’s writings. “T will say that should our ac- tion in inyiting him {o- speak be rescinded there will - be- no severing of revered asso- ciations, bt some of us will feel like say- ing and - praying, ‘God save the Monday Club of San Francisco.’ . : In the diséussion which followed this paper the members of the club showed the reatest - diversity of opinion about Dr. erron, though Rev. William Tubbs said, “T haye listened to both papers and am as much in the dark as ever,” and Rev. T. H. Henderson said: ~ “If the satires and. in- vectives we-have ‘heard for and against ‘Herron are messages of brotherly love from heaven, I would ' give several American nickels—hara’ as times are—to hear from the other place.” Rev. Dr..McLean. . thought - Professor George Herron might be characterized as a. seer—somethin, etween: a poet” and a prophet. Rev. H. H. Wikoff indorsed thig opinien; if genin§ into the true reality of ings meant being a seer. Rey. W. W. Scudder said, ‘‘His writings seemed to me to be an intervretation of ‘divine law.” D. Gilbert Dexter expressed ‘A special ad- miration for Herron’s views.” On the other hand, Rev. B. Cole consid- ered Professor Herron to be on-dangerous and misleading ground, Chaplain- Rowell thought he assumed to be a John the Bap- tist, Rev. ‘John Kimball was o‘fpo:ed 10 indorsing him, Professor Lloyd thought he had no logic, and Dr. Brown said he nP roved of Ietth? him speak: before the ¢! ng:, as he wished to.tell him to his face that he was an anarchist. . A motion made by Rev. William Tubbs not to include an indorsement in the invitation to Dr. Her- ron was declared out of order,.as the hour for adjournment had arriyed. The" -Presbyterian - Ministerial - Union listened to an able paper yesterday by Dr, Ketchum of Berkeley upon ‘“How to Bring Men to Christ." Inthe course-of. his re- marks he said: - “No minister can be ‘very successful in saving men unless he has the hearty co-operation. of his membership, and especially of the men of his. church. ! The discussion.which followed brought out: numerous indorsements of the suggestion that men need evangelizing more than women: “Nine-tenths of the members of churches are women,”” said Rev. Dr. Mon- Toe. There will be'a meeting of the. Presby- terian Club next: Monday, as the Presby- tery meets at night. THE ARCHER ARRIVES.

Abouta year ago the Archer, which was then a bark, was wrecked off Cape Flattery. Her crew left her while she was lying on her beam ends, and were afterward picked up by the John C.

Shortly after, the derelict was picked up and towed to the sound, where she was re- paired and converted into a barkentine, and she then took a cargo of lumber to the islands and returned with her hold full of sugar. ‘This is her first lb&)urance at- this port since she was wrecke R An Engineer’s Death.
