I inter- viewed the Secretary of the Treasury on the subject, and ufter discussing the subject pro and con he finally told me that there would be $50,000 available for the building of the vessel on July 1. The plans and specifications are ready, and I expect them here this week. As soon as they arrive I will adyertise for bids.

A Yachting Excursion and a Clambake on Angel Island. NAVAL RESERVE AT WORK, The Young Mariners on the Olympla Again—The Harbor Commis- sioners. The Pioneer Yacht Club had an outing on the bay yesterday with a clambake and a picnicon Angel Island and a sail home in | the afternoon. ' The Pioneers lay claim to having been the first yacht club on the bay | when they sailed and spurted under the | title of the Bilgewater Yacht Club. In the days long ago when one of the regular clubs held a regatta on the bay, the boats of the Bilgewaters were pressed into service to swell the number of sailing | Louise | Piquillo, the Perichole’s iriend and companion. in melodrama. Lady Brandon entirely loses her memory from some _cause, and her maid on their arrival in England from South Africa presented herself as Lady Bran- don, while the real one is placed in a mad- house. A number of tragic scenes spring from this deception, interspersed with a good deal of comedy. Finally the curtain falls on all the Wwrongs righted and virtue triumphant. Edna Hall was effective as the bogus Lady Brandon and Mina Gleason filled the part of the suffering heroine well. Julia Blanc made a good soubreite, but one missed the pretiy face and pleasant acting of Helen Henry. Charles Swain, as the “hambitious” butcher boy, was excellent, his London dialect being the genuine article. Edmund Hayes as Zambra only gave a duplication of his render- ing of the Greek in “OQur Jack.” The other parts were well filled. Tivoli Opera-Honse, BThere was a large audience at the Tivoli last night to witness the production of Offenbach’s charming opers “La Perichole.” The performance proved to be one of the most successful that have been given at the Tivoli for a considerable time, both the new prima donnas cs{peclnnj' distinguishing them- selves. Laura Millard gave a very charm- ing rendering of her role as the Peruvian strolling singer La Perichole, and she was much applauded and irequently recalled. Hoyoe also Sang And acted well 88 Raffael’s voice was heard to excellent advan- tage in the role of Don Andres, the Viceroy of Peru, and Hartman’s rendering of the Marquis de Santareno was much applauded.

Bids for 200 freight cars and a steel bridge for the Valley road yesterday were received by the commitiee on construction and equip- ment, and a report on cars will be submitted to the directors to-day. The Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Associa- tion yesterday sent a letter to the Board of Eupervisors asking that preference be shown to home manufactures in awarding supplies for the Fire Department. Judge Campbell vesterday dismissed the case against Belinda Laphame, alias Dr. Goodwin, charged with performing a criminal operation on Lizzie Husied, on the ground there was no corroborative testimony. San_Francisco has every facility for a Na- tional convention. Local hotel-keepers, rail- road and telegraph managers assert that there is no obstacle in the way of accommodation to the holding of the next big conventions here. J. C. Davis of Rochester, N. Y., was arraigned in Judge Joachimsen's court yesterday on the felony charge of passing a fictitious check, and the case was continued till to-morrow. Two additional charges were registered against him yesterday. The Police Commissioners have a list of twenty-three members of the depariment eligi- ble for retirement. They will consider it offi- cially on Wednesday night, when they will also act on Clé»m.h; Shorts resignation, which has been handed in. Two switch-engines collided at 6:30 o’clock Jast evening in the Southern Pacific freight- vards, at King and Sixth streets. Two switch- men were slightly injured, and a third—J. H. Brigganse—had one of his legs so badly crushed it had to be amputated at St. Mary’s Hospital. Juror Rulofson declares that the charges of bribery made by Mrs. John Martin in her suit for damages are false. He considers her guilty of forgery and has written a ietter to the Dis- trict Attorney demanding that he institute roceedings against the jury which pronounced Fio will & forgers. Patrick Callinan, an emgl Valley Water Works, die home, 1214 Broadwiy, yesterday. His body was removed to the Morgue, but Coroner Hawkins is satisfied that death was due to nat- urel canses. The deceased had acted as collece tor for the company for the past thirty years. In the article on the police force in China- town last Sunday it was stated that Joe Kelly, the bailiff in Judge Conlan’s court, would be a witness before the Commissioners. The bailiff in Judge Conlan’s court is George F. Kelly ana he has nothing stall to do with the case.. The witness in question is another man with the same surname. The joint picnic in honor of the one hundred and twentieth enniversary of the battle of Eunker Hill given at Glenwood Park yesterday by the Bunker Hill Association "and the Ancient Order of Foresters attended by 8000 people. Patriotic speeches, picnicking and the decoration of a mimic monument by the children formed the order of the day. Professors Soule and Marx filed their reports on the ferry foundation with the Board ot Harbor Commissioners yesterday. In it was stated that there need be no fear for the tower, es tne foundation is sufiiciently strong to bear eny weight which may ever be placed upon it. The sand is said to be of poor quality and the method of mixing concrete is condemde Fred Jones, & beltmaker with A.0.Cook & Bous, took his own life in the Valencia-street Hotel yesterday. He went to his room, took the stopcock out of the gasburner, swallowed a dose orcurychnme and lay down on the bed. The chambermaid found him dead. He was sbout 25 years of age, and no cause except a disappointmentin a love affair can be essigned for his rash act. oye of the Sprin s’uddenly IF hfi THE YACHTS ROUNDING (Sketched for the THE CRUISER OLYMPIA, “Call” by Coulter.] Both these improvements will begin on the first of next month. The new cutter, both hull and machinery, will be builtin San Francisco, but the refurnishing of the Custom-house may not be given to local merchants. ‘Washington as well as in San Francisco and the lowest bidder under the specifica- tions will get the contract. Once the main object of his mission was gained Collector Wise turned his attention to other matters of interest. He discussed the next Presidential candidates with Emminent Democrats, the wheat deal with hicago merchants, the San Francisco Postoffice site with C. E.

WISE. Everything has taken on a healthier tone and fieoplc are opening their pursestrings. In Chicago the merchants are much exer- cised over the jump in the price of wheat and a still further advance is expected. It was positively known when I was back there that five of the big grain States Lave very short_crops and the market is quite anicky in consequence. In other Eranchss of trade the business appeared to be on a good and solid basis and confidence seemed to be entirely restored. ““The silver question does not appear to bother the Eastern and Southern people very much. There was very little said about the matter in Boston and Washing- ton, and if it was not for an occasional President’s name was being used without his consent. “Another matter I sought information | on was whether there was any chance of the Republican and Democratic conven- tions coming here. The subject is very listle discussed in the East. Those who talk about the matter say they would like to come to California, but that it is too far away. We cannot tell, however, what a year may bring forch, and one or the other of the big meetings may be held in San Francisco. If they should come I don’t think any one of them will ever regret the venture.’ Roquefort cheese is made of sheep’s milk. craft, and a fine showing they made. A prettier scene than that which met the eye off Meiggs wharf yesterday morning at the start of the Pioneers’ cruise hasrarely been witnessed. The yachts, with the Vol- unteer in the lead, sailed down on either side of tne big cruiser Olympia, darting be- tween the shipping at anchor in the offing, catching the light puifs in the channel and headm§ out for the Presidio buoy. Grouped about the Volunteer were the Pride of the Bay, Plunger, Annie, Thelma, Ella, Magic, the launch Millie and several others. Out in the stream were the yacht Aggie and the ships Wasdale, Bothwell, Sierra %stel]a, St. Mungo, Royal George and several others. The Eachts of the club cruised about, along the seawall and down past fhe City front, with merry parties on board, and as they went by the sounds of music faintly came over the waters. Angel Island was made shortly after noon. A clambake was the first thing in order and then followed games ashore and boat races on the bay, the hours being pleasantly beguiled until it was time to re- turn to the City. The Naval Reserve has determined to profit by its experience on the trip to and from Santa Cruz. The officers of the Olympia extended an invitation to the reserve to use the vessel while she is in the harber and the invitation was taken ad- vantage of yesterday. Almost fifty of the reserves, in command of Lieutenant-Com- mander Stahle, went on board in the morn- ing and remained on the cruiser all day. n the morning the young sailors were instructed in the boat drill. First, they were put through the exercise by the officers of the war vessel and then turned over to their own officers, who put them through their paces. The evolutions of the boys called forth the plaudits of the old salts. All hands showed an aptness for the work, and more than that, a desire to learn. In the afternoon they were taught the names of things marine and how to handle them. Another visit will be made to the cruiser to-day, and to-morrow the Olympia will leave for Mare Island. At the meeting of the Harbor Commis- sioners yesterday afternoon the question of raising the rents of berths came up, but nothing definite was decided upon, the reading of the report of Professors Soule and Marx taking up the time of the board. President Colnon took Commissioner Cole to task in regard to an interview with him published in the Chronicle. In the interviow Mr. Cole declared that the 3r_opu tion of raising the rents would rive shipping away from the harbor, and he did not propose to stand in on such a proposition. Mr. Cole declared that he had not seen the article and must have been misquoted or misunderstood. The martial spirit of Colonel Chadbourne was appeased at the explanation, and Mr. Col- non let the matter drop and postponed further action until Thursday afternoon. THE PLAYERS' COLUM, Offenbach’s “La Perichole” a Popular Success at the Tivoli. ASuccessful Comedy at the Alcazar. The Antics of Juno, the Man Frog. ““The Power of Gold,” which was pro- duced last night at the Grand, was, as usual under Morosco’s management, well and artistically staged. All the scenes gave an excellent idea of the places repre- sented, and the viows of the Foundling Hospi- tal and of the river Thames, with the lights of London twinkling in the distance, were "?ff"“y effective. e plot_of “The Power of Gold,” whickh is the third of Sanford’s produme- tions, is ratherout of the beaten path, Circo de Panish, Madrid, made a hit at the Or~ pheum last night, by their acrobatic perform- ances. Their single” hand-to-hand balancing, back somersaults from theground to the shnuri'- ders, and their somersaults quite brought down the house. Both these performers are very young, the elder of the two not being more than 16.

The racy way in which the Daily company performed the humorous comedy, “A Night Off,” kept the audience at the Alcazar in a con- stant ripple of laughter all the evening. Charles E. Eldridge gave a comically serious rendering of the henpecked professor, Jus- tinian Babbitt, who nnemrleg to bring outa Roman play without his wife's knowledge, and suffers in consequence. Al. H. Hallett was the manager of a barn-storming company to the life, and Al C. Henderson as Dr. Damask was natural and effective. May Nannary as Nisbie Babbitt added much to the humor of the situation by her artless acting, and all the other female parts were well filled, es?ecillly that of Mrs. Xantippe Babbitt, in which Miss Margaret Marshall gave AD almost exasperatingly natural rendering of ";f;’ sort of woman who makes a home miser- able. Tne Columbia Theater. The Frawley Company produced “Nancy & Co.” last night at the Columbia Theater. It served for the debut of Miss Frida Gallich, who Acte‘(.l naturally though she only had a small part The Water Oarnival, There was considerable to attract the atten- tion of those who attended the Circus Royal and Venetian Carnival last night. In addition to the wusual acrobatic feats there was s ‘wonderful performance by Juno, the man-frog, whose _contortions and antics were indeed marvelous. The military evolution by the Royal Guards drew forth much applause and the floats were very at- tractive. The gondola scene would have given much pleasure had it not capsized and thrown the occupants in the water. “The Old Homestead” will be produced at the California Theater next Monday. The only safe way is for the cook to have the finest things to work with, and the Royal Baking Powder is notonly the finest but the most economieal leavening agent to use because it goes so much further. e A GONDOLA CAPSIZED. An Accident at the Circus Royal Water Carnival. Last night shortly before the close of the performance at the Circus Royal and ‘Water Carnival a Venetian gondola con- taining three men, a boy and eight women was sent on the miniature lake in the ring, The occupants of the float had harps and mandolins and all were attired in gay cos- tumes regresenting a boating scene in Venice, when suddenly somebody moved, the frail vessel capsized and all the occu- pants went by the board. The women were dripping wet, and the men rescued them—that is, they thought they did, but some one saw a foot pro- truding over the side of the gondola, and one of the men turning the boat over found one of the women caught by a seat. She was taken out insensible and carried to a dressing-room, where a physician worked over her for twenty minutes before she regained consciousness. The woman, whose name is Emma Hoff- man, was considerably bruised, but not seriously hurt. The accident created con- siderable excitement in the audience. e e A New Department.

IT WILL LAST FOUR DAYS. Important Matters to Come Up for the Consideration of the Convention. About 100 delegates to the Grand Grove of California, U. A. O. D., and their friends left on the 4 o’clock train yesterday afternoon for St. Helena, where a four days’ session of the Grand Grove will be held beginning this morning at 10 o’clock. An equal number will leave on the 7:30 train this morning. The jurisdiction embraces California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Nevada. The lodgesin these States are entitled to 225 delegates and it is ex- J. F. Martinoni, One of the Candidates for Grand Secretary. pected that 175 out of the totel number elected will be in attendance at the Grand Grove session. On the opening day the principal busi- ness will be the filling of vacancies on the various committees and the reading of the reports of the grand officers. In the re- port of Noble Grand Arch J. H. L. Gerckens a recommendation will be made that California set the example for the Druidic world by the establishmentof a special fund for the relief of the sick and of the widows and orphans of deceased members. At present such relief is af- forded by donations and these have be- come so frequent that the treasuries of many groves are kept at a low stage. In'the report that will be made by Grand Secretary John H. Knarston it will be shown that five new groves were instituted during the past term, that two surrendered their charters, that two were merged into other groves, and that the membership had suffered a net loss of 135. Among the matters of importance that will come up for action will be the ‘‘ Ameri- canizing” of the order, an idea that is most favorably considered by the large number of foreigners who now comprise the major portion of the strength of the order. To-day there will be a formal reception of the delegates by the St. Helena groves, including a grand parade in the evening. On We%nesday evening there will be a banquet and ball. The event of the session, the election of officers, is set for 11 A. M. Thursday. In this connection there will be two interest- ing contests, those for the officers of grand Louis ¥. Dunand, Past Grand Arch. secretary and grand marshal. For the for- mer office the candidates are John H. Knarston (incumbent), J. F. Martinoni and J. J. Mollison. For the latter the can- didates are William Heath, D. P. Brown and H. J. Goller. Deputy Grand Arch O. H. Hoag will undoubtedly be advanced to the office of grand arch, and James A. De- voto will be a candidate for the vacancy thus made. Grand Treasurer Chassagneis a candidate for re-election, and G. Morelli is out for the office of grand guardian. Thursday night the St. Helena groves, who have geen drilling a special team for the work, will give an exemplification of the secret work of the order. The session will come to an end on Friday with the in- stallation of the newly elected officers. Among the prominent and most re- spected members who will be found in the convention is Louis F. Dunand. He was elected noble grand arch in 1884, and it is generally admitted that the real progress of the order began under his energetic and intelligent administration. The impetus he then gave to its growth was felt for many years and is still manifest. THE SHOOTING OF DR. PLOUF. First Day of the Trial of McGaughey for Burder. J. D. L. McGaughey, who shot Dr. John E. Plouf on March 30 last, was on trial be- fore Judge Belcher yesterday. Several witnesses were examined, most of their tes- timony going to show the facts of the shoot- ing on Market street and the possibility of it being the result of malice and not of im- pulse as the defense claims. Several physicians testified as to the trouble between Dr. Ploufjand McGaughey, which led to the discharge of the latter and of reported threats of McGaughey to get even. Mr. Barnes, the District Attorney, read Plouf’s dying statement, in which the victim accused the prisonerof maliciously shooting him and without any provocation baving been given. The defense will undoubtedly plead self- protection in extenuation of the assault, and will proceed on the lines suggested by Detective Handley’s testimony yesterday. Handley testified that McGaughey showed him a mark on his face saying that Plouf bad struck him with his cane, and then another witness will tell of seeing the cane break in the scuffle on the Market- street sidewalk. All testimouy as to McGaughey’s action preyious to the murder was aliowed to go to the jury only as tending to show a cause for the assault, and not as having any direct bearing on the charge. The prose- cution announced that it would close early this mornin, A Coming Tamily Excursion. A family excursion to the Santa Cruz Monn- tains will be given next Sunday under the supervision of W. H.
