14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1895 AFFECTS THE LOTTERIES ! The New Law Is Cutting Into the Traffic in This City. ITS GENERAL APPLICATION. A Question as to Whether or Not It Includes the Telegraph Companies. That the recent laws passed by Congress and the local agitation of the subject are | seriously damaging the lottery traffic in this city is plainly apparent. Those who engage in the business of selling tickets acknowledge this to be the fact; those who cash the tickets have marked a de- | crease of the business which they did be- | fore, and people themselves who bought | regularly of the delusive bit of paper find fewer friends who join them in the risky | enterprise. The law recently passed by Congress has 8 good deal to do with this growing feeling Mary E. Kellogg are named as executors, with- out bonds, The estate is approximately valued at $100,000. =Patrick M. Walsh’s will has been filed for pro- ate. It was dated Angust 8, 1894, and be- ueathed all of his estate to his wife, Mary ?\'mh, except $100, which, in the words of the will, is to be paid “to the pastor of St. Bridget’s Chuteh for the purpore of paying for masses for the repose of the souls of myself and fam- ily.” Benjamin Healey was named as executor without bonds. Thomas P. Kussick petitioned for the probate of the will of Patrick McCoy. The estate is valued at $10,000, and is left to the ters oOf decedant, Margaret Kussick and Ann McCoy, his nephews, Matthew J. and Thomes P. Kus- sick, and his niece, Kate M. Kussick, in equal proportions. T0-DAY'S AUCTION. Historic Haight - Street Baseball Grounds Are to Be Sold at 12 O’clock. The Baldwin & Hammond report everything in readiness for the auction sale of the old Haight-street baseball grounds to-day. The Crocker Estate Company, which owns the property, intend that the highest bidders shall secure the lots. The auction sale will be held promptly at 12 o’clock at the sales- rooms of Baldwin & Hammond, 10 Mont- gomery street. The terms of the sale are announced as one-fifth cash and the balance in one, two, three and four years. Several changes were made by the auctioneers yesterday in the diagram, which gives three corner lots of thirty-five feet each, instead of twenty-five feet. These corners are suitable for business purposes. The following parcels from the catalogue of UNCLE SAIT'S ANTI-LOTTERY LAW. An Act for the suppression of lottery traffic through national and interstate commerce and the postal service subject to the juris- diction and laws of the United States. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled: That any person who shall cause to be brought within the United States from abroad, for the purpose of disposing of the same, or deposited in or carried by the mails of the United States, or carried from one State to another in the United States, any paper, certificate, or instru- ment purporting to be or represent a ticket, chance, share, or inter= est in or dependent upon the event of a lottery, so-called gift con- cert, or similar enterprise, offering prizes dependent upon lot or chance, or shall cause any advertisement of such lottery, so-called gift concert, or similar enterprise, offering prizes dependent upon lIot or chance, to be brought into the United States, or deposited in or carried by the mails of the United States, or transferred from one State to another in the same, shall be punishable in the first offense by imprisonment for not more than two years or by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars, or both, and in the second and after offenses by such imprisonment only. against this species of gambling, but more is, perhaps, due to the changing aspect from which the evil is being viewed. The traffic heretofore has been carried on so openly that its sheer publicity gave itan air of demi-respectability, but the stricter laws and the agi n against the trade has put the stigma of criminality on the | traffic and drawn it deeper under the sur- face, and made it more difficult for the un- initiated to secure tic ¥ Dealers now sell oniy to their friends. They dare not deal freely with stranger. and as a result many who would otherw buy are kept from doing so by ignorance | or through fear of the consequences. The new law passed by Congress is entitled “An act for the suppression of lottery traffic through national and interstate | commerce and the postal service subject to | the jurisdiction and laws of the United | States.” Its terms prohibit the carrying or transmitting, or in any way assisting | the transmission of lottery notices, in any | way or within the boundaries of the United | States. Already this law is having its ef- | fect here in San Francisco. | The great express concern of Wells, | Fargo & Co. has applied its terms to them- selves and a circular order has been sent | out to all employes directing that here- after no package or paper which in any | way relates to lotteries will be accepted by the company, and if such contraband mat- ter is submitted and accepted the employe 80 accepting the matter must be person- ally responsible. Those who ply the questionable trade of selling lottery tickets are looking for loop- holes in the law. The telegraph com- panies give the ticket-dealers some com- fort. | L. W. Storror, superintendent of the | Pacific Postal Telegraph Company, yester- day said: ‘‘Our company would not re- fuse a lottery messase, even though the message showed on its face that it related to the drawings of a lottery company. “That law does not apply to us at all. ‘We do not send papers, nor instrument: nor lottery tickets, nor advertisement: ‘We send only their contents, and the law says nothing about that at all. The tele- graph companies are peculiarly situated. ‘We are, in & great measure, common car- riers, and as such we have no right to re- fuse any message which is submitted. Of course, there is a rule against messages of an obscene or profane character, but those messages show their character on the face of them. What do we do when it is plainly apparent that a message refers to a lottery ? ‘Well, that’s another matter. Obscene mes- sages are against the law. Of course, lot- tery messages are, too, so far as the mails are concerned, but then we send only the contents; we don’t send the message jtself,” and Superintendent Storror again peered at a copy of the law which was handed to him in order to better explain just where an illegal obscene message and an illegal lottery message, when the na- ture of both is apparent, differed, particu- larly when being offered for transmission. Frank H. Lamb, assistant superinten- dent of the Western Union, was not so sure the law did not apply to his com- pany. “The question is one which should be submitted to a lawyer,” he said, *‘but there is one thing, we are governed by the laws relating to interstate commerce.” That was all Mr. Lamb would say. As to telegraph companies it is believed that the title, which includes all common carriers under the interstate commerce law, must of necessity include the trans- mission of lottery news by telegraph as well as by express. The greatest blow which could be struck at the traffic in this city would be to forci- bly suspend the transmission of the lists of winning numbers. At present the lists come by telegraph, and are sent as news and at press rates. Should they stopped no one would buy tickets, as there would then be no easy method of learning whether or not the tickets had won. Aside from compulsion, however, the better class of citizens is beginning to real- ize the disreputable character of the busi- ness. They have not only stopped buying themselves, but are using their influence to prevent others from doing so, and are, in this way, making the first step toward finally suppressing the vice-promoting traffic. e Two Wills Filed for Probate. The will of Calvin W. Kellogg, dated March 17,1895, has been filed for probate. One-half of the property is bequeathed to his wife, Mary E. Kellogg, and the balance to Ella F. Gilroy, his daughter, of Cambridge. Hall, Hastings, Eng- land. Thomas Coles, Joseph M.

THE CNIG FEDERKTIO That Organization Decides on a Plan of Immediate Action. Fol ® cor: k There Will Be Several Committees Who Will Watch Public Affairs. A meeting of delegates from organiza- tions that compose the Civic Federation of this city met yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock in embly Hall, Mills building, with Rev. E. R. Dille in the chair. There were present besides the chairman E. N. Dexter, Rev. H. L. Deitz, Rev. Thomas Filben, Rev. E. McClish, Rev. J. H. Irwin, C. C. Terrill, M. Reynolds, Mrs. Rose M. French, Mrs. Cammin gs Mc- Williams, Mr. Samuels and Mr. Hillyer, secretary. The Rev. Mr. Filben, chairman of a sub- committee appointed at a previous meet- ing, presented the following report: Your committee on plan of action respect- fully represents that in its opinion the federa- tion should be divided into sections for work and recommends the immediate organization of the following sections to cover the branches of work indicated by the titles First—Civic education, district organization and propaganda. Second—Eniorcement o laws—municipal and State—where they apply to this and the suppression of gambling and other evils. Third—Municipal affairs—all public officials except police. Four—Police Department, including Police Courts Fifth—Moral reform. Sixth—Elections. Seventh—Sanitation and public safety. The several sections were taken up seri- atim and discussed. When the first sec- tion was taken up the Rey. Mr. Filben said that the federation should inaugurate a campaign of education so as to instruct the peofile in public affairs. Chairman Dille said that there ought to be meetings in all parts of thecity and that it would be a good idea to divide the city into districts, A proposition that the federation should distribute literature was met with the op- osition of Mr. Terrill, that he did not be- ieve in incurring any expense until there is money on hand to meet any indebted- ness the federation may contract.. He thought that meetings could be held in different parts of tke city; that he had no doubt most of the churches would allow the use of the Sunday-school rooms for the purpose, and believed that there would be plenty of volunteer workers, and if such could not be found the work of the federa- tion had better be contracted. The section was adopted. The one on municipal affairs and that on the Police Department ard police courts were also adopted. Motions to consolidate sections and to strike out words from others were dis- cussed at some length, and during the dis- cussion on gambling Rev. Mr. Dille gave it as his opinion that the police were not prosecuting this crime with the force that they shouls. He said that he had attended a trial, and, while it was a good one, it was made weak by the Judge and the prosecu- tion. Mr. Reynolds asked permission to add a section to the report on taxation and reve- nue reform, but his motion was ruled out of order, but on motion of Mrs. French it was referred to a committee. The sub-committee’s report was then adopted as a whole. essrs. Dille, Truman and Dexter were named the committees that are to have charge of the different sections of work. Messrs. Hillyer, Filben and Terrill were named as a committee to collect money from delinquent orgnnizations. The chairman, when on the subject of finance, said that as soon as the federa- tion gets its committees to work there will be no trouble to obtain all money needed to carry on the work. ———————— THERE is an article on this market seldom equaled and never excelled—Jesse Moore Whis- key.

Dr. C. O. Brown, Explains His Position. FULL TEXT OF EIS ADDRESS Members of the Bay Assoclation Hostile to Dr. Herron’s Visit. It was objected before Dr. Hérron’s coming by his friends that it was unfair to discuss him until he was on the ground. It was agreed that when he came there should be a full discussion. “Let us hear him, then discuss him,” were the words of his friends. Yet when Dr. Brown at- tempted to discuss his views Dr. McLean | of Oakland immediately moved to shut him off. To attempt to confine the debate to the text of what Dr. Herron said in his single address would be entirely unfair, Dr. Brown claims, as denying him the privilege of quoting Dr. Herron’s most objectionable and, as Dr. Brown thinks, most anarchistic vie: “There may be good reasons why Dr. McLean desired to keep these views out of sight,”” said Dr. Brown yesterday, ‘“for he is largely responsible for Professor Her- ron’s presence on this coast. The rule of the club for years has been to allow large liberty in debate, the debaters often going not only outside of the paper rcudg, but often beyond the theme itself.” Herewith is presented Dr. Brown's full address, as he would have spoken to the club. He | says that he has no fear but that the lovers of social order and of American institu- tions will agree with him in the end. The address prepared by Dr. Brown and | }" supplied by him to the CALL is as follows: I mean no discourtesy to the brother who has addressed us, but to avoid any misapprehen- sion it must go on record with this meeting that the Bay Association refused his presence | by an overwhelming vote last August, and that the vote which invited him to this club showed a large proportion of its members hos- tile to his coming. The discussion three weeks ago revealed that more than half of thisclub | were opposed to Dr. Herron's sociological | views. [At this point Dr. Brown was inter- | rupted.] The discussion which preceded his | coming traversed his published works, and, as | was_foreseen, helped to advertise him. No public_error can be corrected without adver- tising it. Abraham Lincoln advertised Stephen | A. Douglass and the iniquity of compromise. | B the broken manacles of slavery had to pay for the advertisement. We cannot be con- fined to Dr. Herron's addressof this hour. The discussion has already taken a wider range. In his printed addresses we find many of the statements which are chiefly objection- able. He makes war persistently on institu- sions. He says: “The apprehension of the | fatherhood ot God can_have no other consum- mation than the end of institutional do- minion.”” (Christian Socialism, p. 60.) “The institution that would dominate the world with its opinions _and customs is & wicked despotism.” e afiirms that wo are livin under the most grinding despotism the world | has ever seen; ‘“that the wage system is slavery.” (P. 64, New Redemption.) He de- claims ‘against property and interest, while iving on a salary derived from the intérest of 5,000 endowment. In the synopsis of one of nis lectures ho afirms that “the people could immediately assume control of the sources of production.” We ure inclined (o tie opinion that Dr. Her- ron hes not measured the meaning or the & | Sunday evening. | lic schools in the ci travel before we reach the ideal state. There are great wrougs on the part of some corpora- tions. God forbid that I showld 1ift my voice for these wrongs. They must be righted, but anarchy will not right them. Yes,and there are other wrongs which the wage-workers of this land are suffering, none more Erlevons than those false hopes which are kindled b misguided or designing agitators. To preach in this land the oyerdhrow of institutions is to deny that Americans are capable of seli-gov- ernment, for our institutions are what we have | yoted they should be. Such a doctrine would hand over to despeir the last hope of the toil- ing millions. Ishall ask no man’s pardon for defending the institutions of my country. Those institu- tions will stand. This nation is not going to begin its “funeral march” at the bidding of a mystic and theoretical anarchist. Our institu- tions will continue to guarantee the rights un- der which the majority of the American people own their homes. These millions of toilers who own their homes are not heard from in noisy denunciations of rights. They are heard from in the sober judgments which must be reckoned with aiter the agitator has gone and the froth has subsided. They know the worth | of that freedom which helped them to require and which protects them in the possession of their own firesides. Our institutions will con- tinue to protect the colleges of this land in their property rights and will secure to_their professors the enjoyment of their salaries, which are derived from interest on their en- dowments. All this is as it should be. But destroy our institutions, and after the bloody reign”of anarchy you would have such despotism as we had a tasie of last summer, for the first time under the flag, when one self- | constituted ruler in Chicago ordered the stop- pree of a nation’s traflic; when a California ady was compelled to ask of this Debs the privilege of traveling in her own State. Ibelieve as thoroughly as any man in the Cross of Jesus Christ—in the majesty of its sac- rifice: in the tenderness and power of its love. I believe that Jesus Christ through his gospel will yet rule this world. But his cross will never head the wild procession of those who would tear down our institutions, nor any pro- cession which ineludes the majority of those | who come forth irom the saloons. Institutions will be reformed by the gospel, but the triumph of the gospel will not be the overthrow of institutions. The gr;s‘vel of Jesus Christ will continue to triumph as hitherto by the progressive realization of righteousness in the institutions which made men iree and which stand as the security of social order. Thus shall be made possible that sublime conception of Elisha Mulford in his “Nation.” He saw for this nation no vision of ruined lib- erties and crumbling institutions. He saw rather in the nation the great and growing substance of a divine thought. He saw the | whole pervaded by a vast personality, moved | on through all its changes by one controlling spirit—the soul of the nation. This sublime | ersonality he saw to be capable of a growing ealization of rigtheousness so that the nation, purified at length and rising to the fulfillment of adivine destiny, may be glorified. In this | living soul of the nation the principles of the | gospel will yet be realized. Then shall the | kingdom have come. Then shall God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven. | Dr. Brown promises to review Professor Herron more fully in his own church next WANT THE BILL AMENDED San Francisco School Teach- ers Object to the Annuity Measure. A Fund to Be Created to Change the Existing Law at the Next Sesslon. Both principals and teachers in the pub- y and county of San | Francisco feel aggrieved over the bill “to | create and administer a public school | teachers’ annuity and retirement fund in the several counties and cities and coun- by the last Legislature, and as a definite sweep of such wor The New York Inde- pendent said of his wild statement a few da: /O He seems to think that absolute ig- | norance of the subject gives him license to say | what he will about it.”” At all events, his words belong to that style of utterance which | has always been used to stir the passions and frenzy men for mob violence. We would not | impugn the motives of any man, but we be- | lieve that Governor Crounse of Nebraska was right in the scorching rebuke which he admin- istered to Dr. Herron for such utterances last summer before the Nebraska University. We believe, with the editor of the Boston Congre- gationalist, that “such wild talk coming from | educated men is almost unpardonable.” Such | talk is untrue and incendiary. He who char- | acterizes the institutions c¢f America, or even its economic system, as “the most grinding | despotism the world has ever seen” is not | the man to be exalted by the church of Jesus Christ to any position of leader- shi{), He who characterizes the institutions which were bought with the blood of the Revolution and sealed by the blood of the Civil War as ‘‘despotism” is either “ignorant of the facts,” as the Independent says he is, or utterly “wild” in the use words, as the Congrega- tionalist says he is. “The end of institutions"” which he preaches would be the utter extinec- tion of liberty, the !preu)encg of anarchy and the permanence of despotism. Through ages of struggle mankind has reached in America a government emancipated from the grasp of despots. We have left the PlLaraohs and the Cmsars behind. Here the people govern lhrourfih institutions of their own choice. There is no other conceivable way in which the people can govern. Here the overthrow of in- stitutions would be the inaugural of anarchy, “Anarchy,” says Webster, ‘‘is the absence of government: the state of society where there is no law or supreme power.” Here, therefore, to put an end to institutions would put an end to both law and supreme power. The man who seeks their overthrow therefore fs, at least in theory, an anarchist. He may be unconscious of the fact or even deny it. It isstill true. Such utterances as I have quoted will not cure the distress of poverty. They rather create and foster that industrial unrest whic broods the uncertainties of commerce. They are the nightmare of capital, arousing its fears and driving it away from the healthy activities to the hiding and safety of vaults. Capital builds few factories when wage-earners are bein[f prominently taught that the time is at hand when’ they may “‘assume control of the means of production.”” Asa Chief Justice said in my hearing not long ago, “these are the utterances which are responsible for the pres- | ent paralysis of trade. “Ihe man who wants | to help the unemployed will stop such talk that | capital may come forth and set the wheelsonce | more in motion. To tell the wage-earner ihat “the wage system is slavery’ is not a wise or true word. Does this teacher know the mean- ing of the word “‘slavery”? Let him interrogate the pyramids. Let him ask the ricefields of Louisiana or the old whipping-posts of Georgia. Then let him never again agply that cursed word to_the wage system. The wage system slavery? That is the doctrine of the saloons to- day as it was the doctrine of the sand lots twenty years ago. That doctrine may make Professor Herron a temporary hero in San Francisco to-day, but it made Dennis Kearney & hero two decades ago. The end of such hero- ism may be seen in the present insignificance of the former hero. The sand lots never advo- cated a wilder thing than the overthrow of institutions. The sober and truly industrious lovers of order in_this city long ago made up their minds that they had had enough of the sand lots. We do not need a revival of their doctrine in the sacred name and phrases of Christianity. t July when the whole country wason the verge of riot Senator Davis telegraphed the men who asked him to !u{:lwrt the wild‘Kyle resolution: “You are rapidly Afipmnchlng an overt act of levying war on the United States, and you will find & definition of that act in the constitution. I trust that wiser thoughts will control. You might as well ask me to vote to dissolve this Government.” So now I say to those who are inflaming pas- sion by declaring that our Government is “a grinding despotism”; who advocate “‘the end of institutional dominion”;. who encourage wage-earners to “‘assume control of the sources of production”—you are dangerously near the line of open ellmltr to this Government. You are allying yourselves with those who spilled the innocent blood of Haymarket. *“I trust that wiser thoughts will control.”” Let our brothers and their coadjutors shift their ful- crums. Instead of decrying capital and the churches let them expend their thunder nsmm the poverty-making saloons. Letthem adyise thousands of laboring men to save the money that they squander in saloons and so become capitalists themselyves. Over $50,000 a day goes into the saloons of this city. The large proportion of this motey, spent by wage- earners, would help thousands of them ina few years to become owners of homes. As reported in one of the city papers Dr. Her- ron denounces competition as *war.” In his gflnwd works he calls it anarchy. Itis the eynote of much of his bitterest denunciation. Butin that same interview he commends the valley road as a new incarnation of Chris- tianity, and the valley road,as every one knows, is being built as & competitor, Its Dlessings if at all can come only by competi- tion! This is a fair sample of the reasoning wers and consistency which pervade the achings which are under discussion. He de- nounces competition when it suits his turn, and when it will be more popular he commends it! He denounces capital which he cannot control, but gets along comfortably with the $35,000 which endows his chair and furnishes the interest money for his salary. n of ours has yet many leagues to proof of their dissatisfaction have begun Fund Society,” the primal object of which isto create a fund for the amendment of | the bill as passed. In just what particulars the principals and teachers of this city are dissatisfied hardly appearsin theiraction. They make no definite charges, but plainly declared, at a meeting held on Tuesday, their intention to subscribe one per cent of their salaries for the establishment of a fund to be util- ized in amending the objectionable bill. The feelings of the principals and teach- ers are embodied in the following resolu- tions, which were unanimously adopted : Resolved, That we, the undersigned teachers in the public schools of the city and county of San Francisco, finding that the teachers’ an- nuity retirement bill as passed by the Legis- lature of 1895 does not meet with our entire approval, and wishing to show our realization n? the necessity for some such measure, do hereby organize ourselves into a society to be known as “The Teachers’ Annuity and Retire- ment Fund Society,” and pledge ourselves to contribute 1 per cent of our salaries, payable | monthly, toward the establishmentof afund to be known as the teachers' annuity and re- tirement fund; providing that at the next meeting of the State Legis- lature a concerted effort be made to have the present bill amended so as to meet with our approval. Resolved, That the establishment of this fund be as an evidence to the State Legislature of our good faith in w! g to carry out the pro- visions of the bill as far as practicable, and als0 as & proof of the necessity of some further provision for the creation of a fund than the setting aside of one per cent of our salaries. Resolved, That §f the bill be amended s as to become satisfactory, the funds to the credit of the teachers’ annuity and retirement fund, which shall be placed on deposit in a sav- ings bank, shall be transferred to the proper authorities, to be used to carry out the provis- ions of the amended bill; but, in the case of failure to amend the bill, the money to be held subject to the will of the society. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the principal of every public school in this city and county, with the request that it Esq., president of the Teacher’s Pension Association, a meeting of all who heve signed be called for organiza- tion. . ANOTHER BABY VICTIM. Little James Madigan Crushed Death Under an Electric Car, Another young life was sacriticed on the Mission-street electric-car line yesterday. The victim was James Madigan, aged three years and four months. The children were playing on the side- walk, and one of them ran across the street. The little fellow started to follow him, but was caught by car 1013 and crushed to death. . W. R. Thompson, the motorman, was arrested, but released on his own recognizance. : The child’s parents formerly lived at Newark, where the father is employed as an ironmolder. They were about to move to 939 Pine street, Oakland, but before do- ing £0 paid a visit to some friends at 1120 Mission street, Little James went out to Elny. and the first his father and mother new of the accident was when the man- li']Ed corpse was carried into the house. he accident took place about a hundred yards from the crossing of Mission street, etween Seventh and Eighth. According to Motorman Thompson the little boy ran from behind a wagon on the north side of Mission street. He crossed the track and then attempted to run back again, but before he could get clear the guardless car struck and crushed his life out. In the excitement the police neg- lected to get the namesof anyswitnesses, but as the conductor of the car has a list of the passengers the Coroner will be able to get some witnesses. It is said that the Mission-street electric-cars run at a high rate of s‘peed, and that is one of the points that will be brought out at the inquest. Some of the passengers say that the motorman was not to blame. The lad was almost under the wheels before he was seen, and, although every effort to stop the car was made, it was too late. This makes the fourth child in three weeks that has been killed under the wheels of electric- cars, and the end is not yet. to ————————— 15 Cents Per Set, Decorated.

Each REVOLT AGAINST OLCOTT. the Theosophists to Make American Section In- dependent. Dr. Anderson Thinks the Fight on Judge Will Divide the Society. There is one delegate who, next Sunday, will leave this city to attend the National Theosophical Convention in Boston on the 28th inst. who entertains a rather gloomy view of the future of the Theosophical So- ciety as an institution of ethical propagan- da. That delegate is Dr. Jerome A. An-| derson, the acknowledged head of the theo- sophists of this city. Drs. Allen Griffiths and Eaward B. Rambo have already started for Boston. The Theosophical Society consists of the Hindu section, of which Bertram Keight- ley is the secretary; the European section, whose secretary is George Meade, and the American section, of which William Q. Judge of New York, the innocent cause of all the contention, is secretary. These three officers constitute what is called the **Executive Council,” Colonel H. S. Olcott, with headquarters at Adyar, Hindostan, being the president of the entire organi- zation. be submitted to each teacher for approval and S 3 “ , | Some years ago, and during Madame signature, and that, when the copies) plavatsky's earthly sojourn il? the tlesh, are returned to M. Babco x 'y - ; 4 Colonel Olcott issued a proclamation at Adyar, at one of the so-called anniversary meetings, in which he radically changed some vital points of the constitution of the society. At that tiae all was enthusiasm and fraternal unanimity, due to the fasci- nating radiance of the illuminated Bla- vatsky, and none foreseeing what the future might i)ring forth or susi)ecting that any- thing done by Colonel Olcott would oper- ate disadvantageously, there was an un- gpfstioning acquiescence in whatever he id. Now the tremendous effect of a few scratches of his pen are very keenly appre- ciated and they almost obscure the charges of Mrs. Annie Besant and Professor Chak- ravarti, the Allahabad Brahmin, as to the genuineness of the mahatmic messages which Mr. Judge avers he has from time to time received. Colonel Olcott’s proclamation strikes the American section in its most vulnerable part at present, in that he made it possible for the executive council to expel Mr. Judge. Hence there is a general revolt against Colonel Olcott, and the result pre- dicted is that the American section will declare its independence and give the other two sections the option of yielding to its position in regard to self-government or remaining entirely separate. “It is bardly wise to attempt to make any forecast of the future,” said Dr. An- derson yesterday afternoon, “but it looks as if the Theosophical Society may possi- bly prove a failure. When its high officers cannot agree, what hopes can we entertain of any success along the line of establish- ing a universal human brotherhood, which the society started out to do? I do not mean to say that the Princlples of theoso- phy will fail. No, no Theg will last for- ever. It is philosophy and cannot fail. But the society as an institution has not a very bright prospect before 1t just at pres- ent. “Whatever Mr. Judge has done he did entirely in self-defense. He was assailed by Mrs. Besant and Professor Chakravarti, and was forced to reply. This he did by means of a circular—a private circular which he issued to the ‘school.”. Now they are using this very circular as a basis for bringing charges of slander against him. They propose to expel him for slander when all he did was to simply defend himself. _ 3 ““‘What the Boston eonvention will do with regard to Mr. Judge may be pre- dicted. fi’don’t think there is any doubt | that he will be re-elected as the secretary of the American section. Twenty years of his life he has given faithfully to the cause, and he is the recognized head of theosophists in this country. There is hardly any opposition to him. Probably about a dozen personsin San Francisco may be opposed to him, and there are two small lodges on this coast and one in Minneapolis that are somewhat antago- nistic, but that is all. “The American section has about 102 branches scattered over the country with a membership—a regular membership—of at least 5000, to say nothing of the very numerous sympathizers with the move- ment. I think Mr. Judge will be re- elected without a dissenting voice. “I believe the American section will simply declare itself the theosopnical so- ciety and nd«)lwt proper constitution and by-laws accordingly. These constitution and by-laws will be submitted to the other two sections for their ratification, but if they fail to ratify we will proceed as a thoroughly independent organization.” The lodges on this coast which have manifested opposition to Mr. Judge are the Harmony branch at Los Angeles— which is one of three in that city—and a branch at Port Townsend. There are thirty-six branches on the Pacific Coast. The ‘Villflmene branch at Portland, Or., is somewhat divided. ———————— Gifts to an Orphanage.

A Complaint Has Been Filed and an Investigation Has Been Ordered. Secret Service Agent of the Treasury N. R. Harris returned from Carson, Ne terday, where he has been inve the mint frauds. His first visit was to Superintendent Frank Jaynes of the West- ern Union Telegraph Company to lodge a complaint. He made a most vigorous pro- test against the giving out of private dis- patches by the company’s employes and the chances are that some one will be prosecuted for the felony. On Saturday last Mr. Harris sent a dis- patch to the Secretary of the Treasury in ‘Washington announcing the arrest of John T. Jones for complicity in the mint frauds. This was at 4:30 in the afternoon and the next morning the San Francisco papers had a verbatim copy of the dispatch. The next day the papers arrived in Carson and Harris’ surprise was great to see his tele- gram published word for word. “Some one is guilty of a felony,” said Mr. Harris yesterday, “‘and Iintend to find out who it i have already filed my complaint with the company and an inves- tigation has been ordered. There are two telegraph stations in Carson. There is the main office and a branch at the railway de- pot. The main-office wires run through the branch office, and, of course, the oper- ators in the latter can read off any dis- patch they want to. That telegram was taken off close to Virginia City, or perhaps the branch office at Carson had something to do with it. We will discover the guilty par!y and put him in a place where he won’t be able to steal telegrams for some time to come.” STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal., Apr. 11, 1895. Messrs. Sherman, Clay & Co., Cor.
