The Washtenaw With Her Cargo Safe and WIli Arrive Here in Three Weeks. Yesterday the Johnson-Locke Mercan- tile Company received news that the steamer Washtenaw, bound to this port from New York, was safe and would be due here in about twenty days. The vessel was reported lost a short time of Magellan, and all her cargo of 2000 tons of steel rails for the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad, with other freight, went down under the far southern waters. The dispatch that brought the welcome news of her safety was sent from Coronel, Chile, by Captain Holmes of the steamer ago during her passage through the Straits | Names, and the closing exercises took place at the school hall. The diplomas were presented by the Rev. P, Scanlan, and Rev. Joseph M. Gleason addressed the raduates and their friends. Miss Anna annian had the honor of being valedic- torian. . The musical part of the programme con- sisted of the beautiful sacred cantata, “Behold, the Bridegroom Cometh”; the duets, “Le Chasse au Lion” (Knhing} “Norma” (Bellak) and “On the Banks of the Blue Danube’” (Strauss); the mandolin and piano trios, “‘Bebe” (Pirani) and *Im- provisato” (Bellenghi); choruses, “I Pes- catori” (Gabussi) and “Bright Be Our Pathway’’ %Bailey). The floral march in which young ladies were costumed to represent various flowers was one of the most pleasing features of the programme. There was also a concert recitation of “The Famine’ from ‘“Hiawatha” and “The Gossips,” a pantomime. May Fitzgerald, a five-year- old pupil, gave a piano solo, “Cheerful- ness” (Novaro).

Mayor Sutro yesterday morning ex- | préssed himself as much surprised at the petition of the Richmond District Improve- | ment Club, which came before the Street | Committee of the Board of Supervisors the | day before, and which declared that the | building of the Sutro railroad had ruined Clement street, and demanding that the [Sketched for the THE CRACK JUNK LUND SUNE CLOSE HAULED. “Call” by Coulter.] to the mercantile company, which is largely interested in the new road.

Gaden, yesteraay criticized Superintendent of Streets Aehworth severely for securing the defeat of the resolution which required him to furnish the Mayor's office with daily reports of the street work in progress. Ashworth in turn critizised the Mayor and his special agent. Considerable of the time of the United States Grand Jury was occupied yesterday in consid- ering the case of 8. S.

Among the craft of the bay merchant marine are three strangers, which, though they sail in and out among the vessels of deep and shallow water of this harbor, are strangers still. They are waife from other seas, and the isolation and seclusiveness of foreign waters is around them. They are the junks Lund Sune, Fung Hi and Mong Lee, and are owned by the Chinese shrimp- ers that operate near California City. A reporter yesterday, desiring to learn something about these floating visitants from the Yellow Sea, stepped on board the Lund Sune at Second-street wharf, whose name, in Roman characters, painted upon her stern, made her the most modern o the three. G The Lund Sune looks as if her builder ot tired of looking_ at the results of his Enudiwork and quit the task, leaving her uncompleted. Her ribs come up a few inches above the deck and stop, and rail, cap or anything tending to ornament the hull "is religiously omitted. The planking of the deck runs athwartships with the usual contrariness of things Mon- olian. The anchor hangs over the stern ike the whaleback’s, and in this the most modern shipbuilder has not gotten far away from gis brother of ages ago. But the beautiful a) &li&nce! for hoisting the single batwing-like sail and the mudhook strike hardest the enthusiastic and esthetic child of the sea. They are uncouth wind- lasses with four long pefs stuck at right angles through the central timber or roller, upon which the halliards are slowly wound by the crew, dragging the snltl t apparently does not occur to Captain Sam, her skipper, that a few pulls on the hal- liards, occidental fashion, would send the light canvas flying aloft, but he must make sail as his ancestors did before Magellan steered the first “‘foreign devil’s” ship into the Pacific. The rudder-post stands above the deck like a stump-jurymast, and the tiller sets horizontally forward like the arm of a gib- bet. The "rudder itself is a wonder. Through it are a large number of diamond- shaped holes, which, when the helm is put hard over, will permit the water to flow from side to side—the very thing, it seems to anybody but a Chinaman, that should not hapwen cm‘npany be required to put the street in order. Charles Hubbs, the president of the club, was also surprised, it seems, for he called at the Mayor's office early and declared that he had no knowledge of the petition, had had nothing to do with sending it, and thought it must be a fraud. Mayor Sutro sent an agent out to look at the street, with instructions to “raise the devil about it” if he found the street in the bad order represented. ‘““The contractor building the road is re- quired by his contract to put the street in as good order as he found it, and if he has not done so we will see that he does,” he said. “We will look after the matter promptly.” THE ELECTION OF LEES, Mayor Sutro Says He Will Not Sign the Records of the Meeting. Declares It Illegal —This May Inter= fere With the Confirmation by the Board. Mayor Sutro said yesterday that he would refuse to sign the record of the elec- tion of License Inspector Rred W. Lees the day before by the votes of Auditor Broder- ick and Treasurer Widber. ““Ido not think the election was legal,” he said. “I think these matters should be done with some form. I should at least be given some notice, in fact, I think I should give the notice. As Mayor, it is certainly my place to call the meeting when it is to be held. Instead of thatthe Auditor and Treasurer came here and declared what they bad come for. I protested, declaring that we shoula have a secretary and keep a record of such transactions. They said it was not necessary, voted for their man and went away. That was all there was it. “Ido not think that is the proper way to do business, and I will not sign the record of it if any is made. Thatis aloose way of doing things that has obtained too long in this City. I had another candidate to propose—Frederick A. Baldwin—who has been recommended to me by a great num- ber of good citizens.” Auditor Broderick, in speaking of it, seid: “The time had arrived when a Li- cense Collector should be named. The ]‘ nominee must be approved by the Su- pervisors, and the name should be presented at the next board so that in case he wasrejected we would have time to select another before the end of the fiscal year and_the term of the incumbent had expired. Lees isa good man—he has made afood coilector, he snited Mr. Wid- ber and myself, and so we chose him. There was nothing irregular about it in oy opinion and no necessity—as it is only a nomination anyhow—to go through any red tape.” However, the Mayor’s refusal to sanc- tion the choice may complicate the matter before the Board of Supervisors. if the vessel 1s to be turned to starboard or port. Captain Sam is a very intelligent man, but his explanation of the phe- nomenon couched in fine pigeon-English was misleading. The Lund Sune’s side planking runs be- yond her stern as if the junk-carpenter in- tended to saw the ends of the boards off but forgot to doit. She is larger than her sisters, the Monfi Lee and Fung Hi, which are built on the same elaborate Chinese lines. Captain 8am, who is a sortof ad- miral over the junks, says they are fast sailers, and he is ready any time to race the fast scows on the bay. He wantsto know if there 1s to be a regatta on the Fourth of July, and will enter his flagship, the crack craft Lund Sune, for cups or coin.

AS A BANNER IT WILL GO. The Executive Committee Favors Having Miss Anna Shaw De- liver an Address. The green flag of Ireland was the cause of a lively discussion in the executive com- mittee of the Fourth of July Committee yesterday afternoon. There was a great diversity of opinion as to the propriety of allowing it to be carried in the procession on the Nation’s birthday. The men gn the committee talked for over half an hour. They became extremely heated in their remarks, and yet were unable to reach a decision. The cause of the discussion was the inde- cision of Edwin L. Forster, the grand mar- shall. The Ancient Order of Hibernians had indicated their intention of joining the parade with American and Irish flags. He wanted to know if the green flag of Ireland with its golden harp was to be considered a national flag. “If it is to be considered a national flag I will have to exclude 1t from the proces- sion,” he said. *‘But I do not want to be forced to take the responsibility of making the decision.” A dozen members of the committee de- clared that the American flag only should be in the procession, and that if any class of people had a flag they thought better than the Stars and Stripes they had better stay at home. *“The question to me is whether the Irish flag is a foreign flag,” W. H. Davis re- marked. This aroused a discussion. It was de- cided that if Ireland was not a_nation it was not because of lack of desire on the part of the Irisn’peovle. The harp fiu% was_therefore decided to be a nationa emblem. ‘ The grand marshal explained that he insisted upon receiving orders. The com- mittee had decided to have no foreign flags. The Juarez Gnards had announced their intention of leaving the Mexican flag at their armori;. He thought men of other nationalities should be willing to exhibit a similar courtesy. H. P. Sonntag here introduced a resolu- tion that though no foreign flags should be allowed in the procession, yet organiza- tions should be allowed to float all other emblems providing they were under the American flag. It was “decided that this ground had been covered before. Then to definitely settle the matter Mr. Forster moved that the green flag of Ire- land be considered a national flag and be kept out of the procession. Mr. %onntag objected strenuously. He thought such action would look as if there was discrimi- nation. *It would cause discussion and ill feeling,” he said, “‘and would be regretted by the committee.” “The executive committee has already decided that organizations may carry their banners and emblems,” said Mrs. Rose French, “therefore if the green flag be carried as & banner, suspended from a cross- iece at the top of a pole, no objection can ge made to it. If, however, it is carried as a flag, waving in the breeze, I think that the act should be considered unpatriotic and the flag suppressed.” The meeting saw the logic of her argn- ments. As a result the matter was settled as she suggested. Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper announced that the women had up to the present asked for nothing. I now want to insure the moral support of this committee,” she said, *‘to assist me in having a balf hour at the cele- bration set apart for an address by Miss Anna Shaw.” x “But will the address be on National topics?”’ asked Speaker Davis. “You may be sure it will,”’ answered Mrs. Cooper earnestly. “There will not be a word of woman’s suffrage.” H. P. Sonntag moved that the literary committee be requested to set aside half an hour for Miss Shaw to address the assemblage on some patriotic subject. There was not a dissenting voice. The committee on invitations and recep- tion reported considerable %rogresm Mme. Sorbier, who has charge of the orphans and old ladies, announced that there would be twenty from the Protestant Episcopal Old Ladies’ Home, 120 from the Crocker’s Old Ladies’ Home, fifty from St. Joseph’s Or- phan Asylum, 350 from St. Vincent’s Asylum at San Rafael, ninety-five from the Ladies’ Relief Society, 100 from the Protestant Orphan Asylum, eighty from the Hebrew Orphan Asylum and tifty-five from the Youth’s Directorg. Of the 6000 children to be entertained it was estimated that 2000 would be orphans. Among the committees appointed were the following: Transportation—Mesdames Knell, Sorbier and Frasier. Invitations—Mesdames Sorbier, Buckingham and Frasier. Badges—Mesdames Cooper, Jacobson and Eyster. Grand stand—Mesdames Knell, Vidaver, Eyster, Hunter, Josephi, Rum&ej Smith, Brown, Bullock, O'Neill and Rowley and Misses Harriet Cooper and Angy Jacobson. Patrick Veeder, an octo%:anuiun whose ancestors took part in the battle of Sara- toga, was made an honorary member of the invitation committee. It was decided to supply the teachers of the various schools with tickets for the children. Mrs. Cooper also announced that all kindergarten children would be expected to come accompanied by their mothers to the distribution of popcorn and candy at the park. 2 A delegation from Oakland, consistin, of A, W.

Fitzgerald is not pleased with a statement published to the effect that he and Justice of the Peace Groezinger had a quarrel and that he had intended to cause the Justice’s arrest or that he was ordered out of the latter’s courtroom. Mr. Fitzgerald explained his position in the matter yesterday and said: “I went to the Columbian Woolen-mills at 42 Stevenson street and while there met a Mr. Moore, who is a tinware manufact- urer next door, and was u?uuted by him to inspect his premises. I found certain apartments in a foul condition. g hfnve him notice to put them in order within ten days. At the expiration of ten days I found the place had not been prop- erly fixed, He stated to the deputy and to me that it was the best he could do as Justice Groezinger had told him that the Health Officer had informed him that the place was in a proper condition. While in the City Hall on Thursday with Deputy Dam on other business I met a mutual friend of the Judge and myself, and inci- dentally s{yoke of what Moore had told me, and that 1 would like to meet the Judge and learn the facts. Judge Groezinger invited me into his courtroom and politely explained the facts of the case, saying that be preferred to take the expert testimony of a plumbar and a member of the Board of Health, and that he had decided against Mr. Moore in a case in which Moore was being sued for withholding the rents from the owner. “Our conversation was very pleasant, and there was no cause for either of us be- ing angry. He did seem annoyed at Mr. Moore for misrepresenting the facts to me, and we parted as good friends. The thought of arresting the Judge or even of calling him to account for anything never entered my mind.” THE LABOR COUNCIL. - Unions Report That They Will Not Join the Fourth of July Parade. At the meeting of the Labor Council last night Delegates Burns of the cigarmakers, Furuseth of the coast seamen, Burman of furniture-workers, McGlyne of Typo- graphical Union and Craig of the Ameri- can Railway Union, reported that their organizations had concluded not to turn out in the Fourth of July parade.

NO SUMMER CONCERTS, Subscriptions to the Scheel Guarantee Fund Are Returned. John Parrott Says the Amount Recelved Was Quite In- adequate. All prospect of a summer season of chamber concerts by the Scheel soloists is at an end, for John L. Parrott, the president of the Metropolitan Musical Society, has written to the various sub- scribers to the guarantee fund returning the amounts donated during the last three months and stating that owing to an insufficient amount having been sub- scribed it has been deemed impossible to give concerts during the summer months, The fact is that the subscriptions to the guarantee fund for retaining Scheel’s solo- ists, which were limited to sums varying from $1 to §5, have come in very tardily, and this has made tie Metropolitan Musical Society feel that it would be un- wise to commence a series of concerts without a sure prospect of having funds to defray the expense of such an undertak- ing, particularly as the majority of the audience would have been those who had the right to enter gratis, concert ticke having been promised to all subscribers. If $800 for fi\)oo had come in the concerts would have been given, but during the three months which have elaéased since the subscription list was opened $512 was the sum total subscribed. The Metropolitan Musical Society is still in existence, however, and next winter will Probuhly make itself felt as a factor in the ocal musical world, though there is a general feeling that if Johnstone, the agent who ibrought out Ysaye, fulfills his promise of bringing Walter Damrosch's ‘German opera company to San Francisco in_November every local musical enter- prise would be swamged. On the other hand, Johnstone’s backers would have to build a costly opera-house, and though many people believe that he has signed a contract with men of wealth here, no one can fprm a guess as to who these men are. 1t was stated confidently last night by a member of the Metropolitan Musical go— ciety that no members of that organiza- tion had signed with Johnstone, but that their society wanted to see whether Dam- rosch was really coming before laying any plans for the winter season. —— THE grocer sends the new brand of bak- ing glowder siniply becauseit costs him so much less and he ¢an make more profit by selling it than he can on the Royal.
