Finally the much utilized patient was drawn gently to the back of a soldier, deposited again and finally hoisted to his shoulder, where, one arm held by his sup- porter’s hand, he was triumphantly borne away. This ended the transportation drill prover. Then came a demonstration of the method of removing the injured from the battlefield. ‘“There are four stages of the work,” explained the captain. *“First the wounded man is removed to the nearest sheltered place and a temporary dressing given. He is as soon as possible.trans- ported to the point where the surgeon is at work, and which is_in the army parlance known as the ‘dressing station,” and where further relief is applied. The ‘ambulance station’ is the next point, when the patient’s troubles, as far as transit is con- cerned, are nearly over, for he is carried to the field hospital, where every help is TRAINING OF POLICEMEN. Doctor’s Daughters Favor Teach- Ing Guardians of the Peace Gentleness. “Doctor’s Daughters, fall into line! For- ward! March?’ This order was laughingly obeyed yester- | day afternoon by 2 bevy of San Francisco’s | fairest daughters. No one knew from whom the order came, certainly not from handsome and galiant Captain Frick, who | was master of the ceremonies at which the Doctor’s Daughters presided. It was EMIL LIESS ON ANARCHY, He Asserts That the Doctrine Is Spreading at an Alarm- ing Rate. ENEMIES - OF ALL SOCIETY. The Founding of Anarchism Over Twenty Years Ago by a Rus- slan Army Officer. “The doctrine of anarchism,” said Fmil Liess, editor in chief of the San Francisco Tageblatt, yesterday afternoon, “is spread- ing at an alarming rate. I am not an anarchist, remember, nor have I ever had the slightest leaning toward the illogical and destroying ‘principles’ enunciated some twenty years ago by Bakounine. I shouted by one of the small but representa- tive assemblage that witnessed the ex- hibition drill by the Hospital Corps, T. 8. A., at the Presidio. Everybody has heard of the charitable organization known as the Doctor’s Daughters. Organized eight years ago and named in honor of Dr. Mackenzie, who inspired the organization, composed | of about forty of this City’s best-known | maids and matrons, and pursuing its o ject of caring for the sick who are destitute ut worthy, it has come to be one of the permanent institutions and has performed many noteworthy acts of benevolence. Mrs. P. B. Horton is its president, Miss Mary Holbrook its vice-president, Miss Fannie Crocker the recording secretary, Miss Ermentine Poole the corresponding secretary and Miss M. Bowman treasurer. Invitations had been issued to many of the prominent citizens yesterday to wit- ness the drill, as the ladies of the society hope to create a sentiment in favor of hay- ing police properly trained for performing that sort oFsorvice to those who meet with accidents on the streets. There was not as large an attendance as might have been expected. Probably 250 would cover the number present. A few families. The “Doctor’s Daughters” were there in force, and the usual number of those who go unbidden to all such gather- ings were in attendance. The drill took place on the lower parade grounds under the direction of Captain E, AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE MINISTRATIONS OF THE AMBULANCE CORPS ON THE FIELD OF BATTLE. [Sketched at the Presidio yesterday by o “Call” artist.] B. Frick. The model of operation of a hos- pital corps on a field of battle, without shot, shell, smoke, and other accessories, was learned by a thorough object lesson. Five tents had been pitched to represent the_ field hospital, and before this extem- rized place of refuge for the wounded S:puin g’& B. Frick, assistant surgeon, marshaled his squad of five men. A senti- nel on Eunrd and four litter-bearers com- the little company that executed, with automatic precision, the orders of the ‘officer. The rude army ambulance, with the red ©eross conspicuous on its side, was in wait- ing below the grounds, and just behind was the new City ambulance presented, through the ‘‘Doctor’s Daughters,” by Mrs. Qelrichs and Miss Fair a month ago. Dr. Kingwell had taken up his post beside the latter, and explained to all inquirers the merits of this modern vehicle with all its appointments for relieving pain over the old patrol wagon,-in which the sick and dying were carted away to the hospitals, muefi to the ndde"crlhmisery of the :q(orttl\;- nate occupants. e men engaged in the drill womptafl: distinctive badge of the red cross on a white band worn above the b three and four, with: “Numbers one, two, three and four, with- out slings, lift litter.” This in stentorian tones from Captain Frick announced that the drill lmf begun. Every one pressed forward to see the brown canvas covered litter carefully raised. “Numbers one and two pass out, three and four lower litter.” Then it was shown how few or how m:_rbvl might manipulate that object and wi what gentleness and deftness it might be handls led. “Litter right! Litter left! Litter half!”’ All these orders were instantly obeyed, but always with as much care as though a suffering human being lay helpless upon it. Then oneoflhesflu«i was ordered to lie down, and immediately he struck an attitude of helplessness and woe that Wi have given pointers to a iven him which the exigencies of army ife will permit.” Then these pofnts were graphically illustrated by mieans of genuine_living pic- tures. One of the squad waved his hat as a signal that a wounded man had been found. The relief corps was on the alert at once. Kneeling beside the patient they bound the leg in which an artery was sup- posed to be severed, using his rifle asa nufiport and binding the leg with grass. e was transported to the “dressing- station,” where Captain Frick performed his imaginary offices as surgeon. This done hé was carried to the ambulance, the big white mule and his bay partner awoke to the gravity of the situation, whisked their great ears and started toward the field hospital at a word from the driver. Arrived at the tent, with its half-dozen cots, the g:fienc was lifted carefully from the ambulance by his skilled attendants and placed between the sheets in an in- viting couch. 8o ended his role. The “Doctor’s Daughters’’ were invited, asa finale to this really excellent bit of acting, to" inspect the extemporized hos- ital. The first, tent contained the cots or the patients; the second the dispensary, where were the medicine-chest and sur- ;lcal'eu&—"A little more complete than ours,” said a “Daughter”—the third the soldiers’ supply tent, where were the per- sonal accouterments, and next the com- mi partment.

Its editors were Brousse and rapotkine, and the pa- per was called L’Avant Garde. It was about this time that Hoedel proclaimed anarchy in Germany.

Third—Propaganda by theory. Fourth—Action by riot and revolution. Fifth—Abandonment of the idea that sov- ;egtcigm)' of the people may be expected by bal- . “In1879 L’Avant Garde was suppressed in France, and Herzig began the publica- tion of’ Le Revolte at Geneva. About this time Krapotkine, a writer on Le Re- volte, set out on a lecture tour, holding his first meeting at Chaux de Fonds, 2 mining town, where he preached propaganda by the deed. Pushing on to Marseilles he or- ganized a convention which proclaimed the principle of expropriation without in- demnity, and collective appropriation of land and capital. It was at this conven- tion that Ottero Gonzales declared his con- version to anarchy, and the following year he attempted to assassinate Alfonso XII. “‘In 1881 anarchistic delegates from all parts of Europe withdrew in anger from a convention of the Workingmen’s party held in Paris, and later met in London, where they proclaimed the unification of the principles of propaganda in theory and propaganda by the deed. Krapotkine about this time was driven out of Switzer- land and went to Lyons, where he con- tinued to preach and organize throughout all of Southeastern France. With Jean Grave, who wrote under the nom de plume of ‘Jehan le Vagre,’ he established Le Droit Social, and also published for a time La Societe au Lendemain de la Revorution. - A reign of anarchy followed. “There were outbreaks at Monceau-les- Mines, Marseilles was flooded with threat- ening placards, an explosion occurred in a theater at Bellecour, dynamite bombs were discovered at Macon, Lyons, Paris, Vienna and Annonay. ‘“Frances Guy, one of Krapotkine’s con- verts, had published in the meantime a work called ‘Prejuges et 1’Anarchie,’ which had done much to inflame the minds +| of the Eensantry. Pupil and teacher were arrested on the same day .at Thonon and imprisoned at Lyons. During 1883 forty- seven anarchists were arrested at Lyons, seven were condemned in Paris and about 180 driven out of Switzerland. - Malatesta and Meslino were imprisoned, Cafiero, fiery orator and ever zealous in urgiugpmpa- ganda by the deed, went insane. Cyvoct, convicted of blowing up the theater at Bellecour, was' condemned to die but was pardoned later by President Grevy. From this time on to” 1886 anarchist “outrages have no sympathy and little patience with men who advocate the abolition of all an- thority and declare that ‘everything is everybody’s.’ “The spread of this doctrine has been phenomenal. The anarchist is a most po- tent enemy of organized society. Law and order may well fear this hydra-headed monster that has crept into its midst. ‘Would I favor more stringent laws for its suppression? No, a thousard times, no! Experience has conclusively shown that anarchy cannot be stamped out by strin- gent laws, There is only one remedy. Re- form in our present social system. “The increase jn anarchistic outrages since the assassination of President Carnot, the appearance of Rudolph Schnaubelt, the Haymarket bomb-thrower in Honduras, as contained in THe CALL's dispatches of last Thursday, the recent crimes in Italy for which no less than thirty-five anarchists are now on trial, and the assertions from recognized leaders of these enemies of gov- ernment, that the United States will in the future be the home of anarchy—all this roves that thereistrouble ahead. Theair is full of it wherever government has been organized, and a strange thing about an- archy is that it has taken the deepest root under the Governments where the laws are the most rigid for its suppression. One has only to glance at statistics to see evi- dences of its growth. “In 1883 there were seventy-one arrests of anarchists in France, and in 1893 171. In 1894 the arrests on this charge numbered over 200, and in Italy the arrests have in- creased in still greater ratio. “Twenty years ago a dispute between Karl Marx and Bakounine, the founder of anarchy, resulted in a declaration of prin- ciples, which have remained practically nnch:nlged up to the present time. These principles were war against capital and privileges of all kinds, abolition of the state and all authority whatsoever—dyn- astic or temporary. The affirmative doc- trine contained only two phases, ‘Do what you wish’ and ‘Everything is everybody’s.’ Boon after declaring this creed for his party Bakounine, who was a Ri n and educated at the School of Cadets in St. Petersburg, died July 1, 1876. “‘Elisee Reclus, who succeeded him as a party leader, Paul Brousse and other writers who were active in the promulga- tion of his ideas, met at the grave of Bakounine. They wrote a bmgrag_hy of him, which had an immense circulation in Russia, France, Italy and Germany be- cause of its fantastic style. Of course the work made a god of the dead anarchi: and at the con of trade unionists hel shortly after his death at Berne Carlo Ca- fiero and Enrico Malatesta, delegates from Italy, with no better authority than the biography, indulged in the wildest praises of Bakounine, and for the first time enun- ciated the doctrine of ‘pro] nda by the deed’ in the following 'glngio “The Italian federation believes that insurrec. tion destined to confirm by deeds the an- archistic principles is the only means of efficacious propaganda.’ “The il p::? was now defi- nitely constituted. It a clearly defined cmtf and at once d d tablished order. The results are easily traced from year to year. In April, nn. 1 ‘| to insurrection. were few. Krapotkine had been released from prison and proceeded in less than three months to establish four journals, besides doing a good deal of lecturing. ““In 1886 Gallo attacked Gustave Martin in the Bourse, Louise Michel was imprisoned, factories and shops were pillaged at Charle- ! roi and the Haymarket affair took plaee in Chicago. During the following year five anarchists were executed—Clement Duval in Paris and four of the Haymarket rioters in Chicago. From 1887 to 1894 six anarch- ists were executed in France and Italy and mine condemned to life imprisonment. During the latter year came the conviction of Jean Grave, the attempted assassination of the Prefect of Barcelona, Spain, an_ex- plosion of a bomb in the Cafe Terminus thrown by Emile Henty, “The explosion at the Cafe Foyot, Paris, and the execution of Vaillant, the cxime of Santo and the more recent outrages of his class are still fresh in the public mind. “In the United States Justus Schwab and Herr Most are considered the most rominent anarchistic leaders. Schwab Eeeps a saloon at 50 First street, New York City, and Most publishes a paperin Brook- Iyn called the Freiheit. Schwab gloried in the assassination of President Carnot, and his freedom of expression came near caus- g his arrest. i *“His saloon is adorned with anarchistic trophies, photographs of prominent anar- chists. On the wall opposite the bar hangs a framed telegram from Chicago announc- ing the Haymarket horror, over which is the inscription: * ‘Labor omnia vincit.’ “Most has already served two terms at Blackwell’s Island on a charge of inciting In his_journal he has frequently urged editorially the use of the knife in assassination, because only dead shots could kill with the pistol. At one time his paper carried the standing head, ‘Long live the torch and the bomb.’. In the New York rogues’ galleryv Most is numbered 1683, and his occupation is given as a leader of the anarchists.” GRIDUITON EXERCES Interesting Commencement at Hoitt’s Oak Grove School for Boys. President David Starr Jordan of Stanford University Addressed the Class. The commencement of Hoitt’s Oak Grove School for boys took place last | Thursday. The exercises of the day, as teresting character. The attendance of parents and friends was large. David Starr Jordan, president of Stanford Uni- versity, addressed the graduating class in his usual happy style. The graduating was largely attended, and proved to be a most enjoyable occasion. The class this year is composed of Le Roy Elwood Mc- Chesney, Benjamin I. Bloch, David Stas ples Painter and William Adams Jr. Dr. Hoitt may well feel proud of the reputation and standing his school has ac- quired. It is accredited at both the State and Stanford universities, and ranks as one of the very best schools for boys on the Pacific Coast. It is located at Bur- healthy and beautifal places to be found in Oalifornia. Nowhere do boys receive ough training than at Hoitt’s School. Dr, Hoitt has observed: “On entering my institution, boys at once become, as it were, members of my family, and are cared for as such.” The new features for next year, which opens August 8, are systematic g'hyfical training and the introduction of wood- working. Professor C. V. S. Boettger of Leipsic, and late_instructor at Tamalpais Academy, will become a member of the faculty, ‘and take charge of this departs ment, for which he is especially fitted. ——————————— Strange Place for Pearls.

The work of organization was quickly completed. The executive com- | mittee. was named and the various sub- | committees were appointed. The ladies were asked to assist in the observance of Charles J. King, President of the Day, Fourth of July. [From a photograph.] the National birthday, and numbers of them were appointed on committees. The meeting was called to order by President Charles J. King, who briefly ou%med the objects of the gathering. He said: ‘The approaching one hundred and nine- teenth anniversery of the Nation’s birth sug- gests now, more than at any previous time, the | importance of a thoroughly American celebra- | tion. For some years past comparatively few of those born in this country have taken much | interest in the celebration of the Fourth of July, It is a matter to be regretted that those who have known no other country but purs should take so little interest in" the com- memoration of one of the grandest events that nistory records. As & Nation we are compelled in the closing years of this century to grapple with problems never dreamed of by our forefathers, nor an- ticipated in any previous experiment of self- government. To bear thisgreat strain upon the perpetuity of our institutions it should be our special endeavor to foster and stimulate in the rising generation the love cf country. The only hope for our Republic and republi- can Government is the education of its people and the cultivation of that feeling of patriot- ism which will help cur Nation to pass in safety through the frymx times that may be just ahead of us, 3 A hearty patriotic celebration at this time will help us as a city and State. The commit- tee selected’ has been drawn with 10 intention to further litical ends. In fact, the Half- million: Club has taken ‘the matter up with enthusiasm, and all classes of our townsmen will be asked to make the eelebration for 1895 & memorable one. It is proposed to have a programme of exer- cises and entertainment covering as_ far as possible every hour of the day. The childven will be asked to take a prominent part, and all classes of our people will be solicited to con- tribute to the celebration. The military and civic societies will be in- vited to participate. The successof the cele- bration will depend largely on the active co- operation of the committees to be appointed, ‘At the suggestion of some of the members of the executive committee an innovation has been made this year in the appointmentof & number of ladies on the aifferent committees. It is hoped that the patriotic ladies of San Francisco will do all they can to make the cel- ebration of 1895 the most successful one ever held in this City.

The suggestion was referred to the parade com- mittee. Grand Marshal Forster reported that he had secured as his chief of staff Colonel Edward Hunter, judge advocate of the de- partment of California and president of the Patriotic Sons of America. Two other army officers will act as aids. ~Generals Dimond and Warfield had agreed to parade the entire militia, including infantry, cav- alry and the Naval Battalion. General Forsyth had promised to have the United States troops at the Presidio parade and to do “something more.” The grand marshal has sent out the fol- lowing circular letter to all secret and benevolent societies in this City: Dear Sirs: Your attention is respectfully called to the approaching Fourth of July cele- bration to be held in this City. It is intended to be one calculated to inspire and enlarge the spirit of patriotism, advance the progress of our City in every material respect, and to be of such a character that without doubt thousands eople will be attracted to our City. he arrangements are in the hands of some of our best and most prominent citizens. It is to be a celebration of the people, for the people and by the people. Such & celebration as the one suggested cannot, however, be made a com- plete success without the combined efforts of all our citizens, and more especially the efforts of the various societies, clubs and organiza- tionsin our midst. The street parade is expected to be the grandest the peopie of this City have witnessed for years past. No pains or efforts will be spared in making itsuch. The most elaborate preparations are now under way. All military companies ‘and societies, clubs and organiza- tions of every class wiil be invited to partiei- ate. 5 An invitation to join in the parade is hereby respectfully tendered to you, with the hope that your patriotism and the love for your State and City and their progress will prompt you, as an organization, to accept thereof and S. m of e G.

P. 8.—The resolution adopted relative to the dispiay of foreign flags in the parade does not in any wise prohibit organizations from carry- ing their banners, regalia or other emblems. In return he has received assurances that several secret societies would be in line, inciuding the Native Sons, the An- cient Order of Foresters of America, the Hibernians and the Junior Order of American Mechanics. The regort was received with applause. The grand marshal asked if he would be allowed a secretary® to assist him in his work. He was told that the committee was not disposed to be niggardly, but the npf)ointmaut of a secretary was laid over till the next meeting. 8. C. Hammond asked if the parade committee bad taken any action relative to permitting advertisements in the pro- cession. Reply wus made that the dom- mittee was averse to anything of the kind, but that the merchants would be asked to decorate their business wagons and send them in the parade. 5 It was directed that the sub-committees pr?are statements of what they desired and furnish estimates of probable cost. It was ordered, however, that no bills be contracted except on the expressauthoriza- tion of the executive committee. Chairman Galloway of the anditing com- mittee promised to give all bills his careful scrutiny, and warned his hearers that no loose methods of doing business would be permitted. His remarks were applauded. Chairman Davis said that the list of members of the executive committee had been submitted tofa number of private cit- izens and to the heads of the different newspapers, and that all had expressed satisfaction at the high standing of the men who have the celebration in charge. He congratulated the committee upon the fact that the press had taken up the mat- ter and that such widespread interest in the success of the demonstration has al- ready been aroused. The meeting adjourned to meet to-mor- row at 3 p. M. The members of all com- mittees are requested to assemble with the executive committee at that time.

This was the case of the Union Insur- ance Company of San Francisco against the American Fire Insurance Company of New York. Itwas an action to enforce a contract of reinsurance entered into by the parties. Judgment had been entered for the defendant from which tne plaintiff ap- pealed. The question raised was simply: Did the defendant under its agreement of rein- surance contract to indemnify the plaintiff against loss and liahility for and during its_original contract of insurance, or was the undertaking of defendant to indemnify the plaintiff against such loss as might thereafter occur? The Supreme Court héld that the judg- ment of the lower court shonld be affirmed owing to the following views: 1. Where the exact times of the commence- ment and termination of the risk are specified in the poliey, or if no fom:y has been written, in the contract, such specifications govern, ‘here no time has been expressly indis ted the circumstances of the case will be Ba;nsidexed for the purpose of determining it. 3. If there are no circumstances indicating the intention of the parties and no time is specified in the contract, the risk will be deemed to have commenced at the date of the contract. ; 4“. rl:‘ the case last mentioned, if before the contract of insurance is made the property has ceased to exist although unknown to the par- tles, the risk never attaches. The opinion is written by Commissioner Searles and concurred in by Britt and Haynes. PICTURES IN BRONZE. A Series of Tableaux to Be Given Next Tuesday by the Art Asso- ciation.

Gustav Walter, proprietor of the Orpheum, was counting his receipts about midnight Friday night in his office when three men sneaked in. They had been ob- served by Henry Wagner, the watchman, who followed them into the office. Just as the leader of the trio was stealthily ap- proaching Walter, the watchman, pigtol in hand, jumped forward. The three men ran outof the theater and Wagner pursued them. Two of them got away, but the third was caught by De- tective Gibson and Policemen Holmes and Hayden about a block from the theater. He was taken to the Central police station, where he was identified as%. G. Smith, an ex-convict, who was liberated on April 1after serving six years in San Quentin for grand larceny.
