STILL MORE COIN NEEDED An Appeal for Further Contribu- tlons for the Entertainment of the Children. The expenditure of $5945 was authorized by the executive committee for the Fourth | of July celebration yesterday. There isas | vet only $5500 ilable to pay the bills, and at least $3000 more must be con- tributed to make the celebration a com- | plete success. Public-spirited San Frun-i ciscans are urged to send in their subserip- | tions at once, instead of waiting to be called on by the collectors. The appropriation of money is divided among the various departmentsas follows: Parade, $2500; decorations, $500; office ex- penses, including rent, printing, salaries, etc., $1100; grand stands, $345; fireworks, $1500. These allotments are made simply to enable the sub-committees to begin work, and not as total sums to be allowed them. The parade committee will expend the $2500 already allowed as follow Floats, $000; musie, $300; Exempt Firemen, $50; school banners, regalia, $140; carriages, $120; General Emmel, $5; Continental | Army, $410; secretary, on account of sal- ary, $70. There is yet needed for this feature of the celebration for Veteran Fire- men, $80; horses for police, $65; drum corps, $80; horses for militia, $325; secre- | tary, balance of salary, $30. The decoration committee wants $2500— | §$500 for street decorations, $150 for the pavilion and §1850 for an arch. They have Teceived $500, and been authorized to use | it as they see fit. The members of the | committee declare that they will use it | toward building an arch. | The invitation and reception and the en-.| tertainment committees will need between | $1400 and $1600, while only $345 has been | set aside. This is to pay for a grand stand. Other items on the lists, which have to do with the pleasure of the chil- dren, include lunch for 5000 children at 10 cents each, $500; zames at the park, $150; | Punch and Judy show. $10; waiters, $25, and many more. Other committees have | received no appropriations, and money and | much of it is sorely needed. | Reichart reported that having the fire- works on the water was not feasible, be- cause at best only 20,000 people could be accommodated, the fireworks would have to rise to a height of 120 feet before the people could see them, and there would be great danger of loss of life from the crowd- ing on the wharves. The committee voted to bave the display on land. A former resolution allowing $2950 for fireworks was rescinded and the amount was fixed at $2500 for the present. The requirement that all appropriations bear the signature of Mr. Dalton, chairman of the finance committee, was rescinded at | his request because of his expected absence | from the City.

Dl;ectnrs Decide Against Subletting Any Portion of the New Building on New Montgomery Street. The directors of the Builders’ Exchange met yesterday, when the matter of having a saloon in the new building on New Montgomery street was discussed and de- cided adversely. It was voted that no portion of the building will be sublet for any purpose. It was ordered that work on the building be commenced as soon as the lease for the | Mission-street property is signed. The decision that the exchange shall oc- cupy its entire new building renders neces- sary several changes in the plans. For that reason, though bids for the construc- tion of the building had been received, none of them were examined, and they will | be returned unopened to the bidders. The regular monthly reports were re: ceived, and though these were not alto- gether satisfactory they showed the ex- change to be in a good condition finan- The Late Millionaire Is Laid in the Tomb by Friends. Burled at Calvary Cemetery From St. Mary’s Cathedral—Solemn Obsequies. The funeral services over ex-Commodore Joseph Macdonough were held in St. Cathedral yesterday morning at 10 as the wish of the deceased, shared by the members of his family, that the funeral should be devoid of all display and publicity, therefore only a few immediate friends and his kinsfolk were present. The services were impressive. A solemn mass of requiem was celebrated by Very Rev. Father Prendergast, assisted by Father Byrne as deacon and Father Han- nagan as sub-deacon. Father B. P. Demp- sey acted as master of ceremonies. The floral tributes were few, but very beautiful. No remarks were made over the remains. Wilcox’s mass was rendered by the choir under the direction of Professor Robert Harrison. Those who escorted the remains to the grave as pallbearers, all close friends of the deceased, were: I. Gutte, J. L. R: E. Eyre and James L. Tucker; from the Pioneers—J. L. Pinkham, Robert Vander- J. P. Bearing, P. Caduc and H. H. from the Loyal Legion—Captain R. Johnson, Colonel E. A.R.,J . Geisling.

SCHEEL HEARS HIS FATE The Local Musicians’ Union Thinks He Has Been Unjustly Treated. HAS NOT THE MONEY TO PAY. Joe Redding Suggests That a Mon- ster Benefit Be Ar- ranged. Scheel responded yesterday to the sum- mons to appear before the tribunal of the Musicians’ Union, and heard his sentence from the lips of judges who were almost as unwilling to pronounce it as he was to hear it. The full executive board of the local lodge was present, J. Matheson, the presi- dent, being in the chair. The conductor. who looked worn and aged, listened in silence while the secretary read the letter from the Nationalfexecutive board of the iniofflumal relations. We are only a subordinate lodge and have to obey or- ders.” [Eugene Schmitz expressed the same regret at being wnl?ell to obey the distasteful orders of the National body, but added, ““This is like a decree of the Su- preme Court.” Scheel himself was very much cast down over the decision. “I have no $1100,” he said, “‘and without that I am forced to lay down the baton. It is unjust. Only four- teen men made any complaint and they were the worst musicians in the band. All of them agreed to accept the pro rata for the festival and because it was not a finan- cial success they turned round and declared that they wanted salaries for that week— they accepted pro rata though.” “Scheel was imposed upon by his mana- r with regard to the contracts,” said Al Marks. “They were made out in English, which hedid not speak at that time,and he understood that they only provided for fares one way.” Joe Redding is the chief arbiter of the destinies of the Park band. When asked yesterday who would be Scheel’s successor | he replied: “‘There is no question of any | successor. We have two conductors— | Scheel and Spadina; and if Scheel is sus- | pended Spadina, who is an excellent musi- | cian, will take his place, as he has done before on various occasions.”” Scheel visited Joe Redding in the after- noon, and the musician-lawyer made the suggestion that the musical Ipeople of San Francisco would ,very ilikely arrange a monster benefit for Scheel. At present no details have been arranged, but several in- fluential ladies were approached on the WRECK OF THE RACHEL The Last Wheat Ship in the Bay Was Chartered Yesterday. ARRIVAL OF THE FALLS OF DEE A Quick Passage From Honolulu to New York Made by the Ship Kenilworth The schooner Rachel is lying on the beach a few miles above Point Reyes with the great breakers beating the life out of her. She sailed from this port Thursday after- noon bound for Bihlers Point, and during a thick fog Friday morning at 3 o’clock ashore, drifting broadside on and striking hard and fast in the sand. The wind was blowing directly inshore, and when the crew heard the sound of the surf the vessel was already in the breakers and THE RACHEL ASHORE. [Sketched by Engineer Lehners of the Fearless.] Musicians’ Union, which commanded the local lodge to suspend all fraternal rela- tions with Fritz Scheel at once, till he had settled the claim of $1132, put in by the New York musicians, who bad gone East after playing with him in Metropolitan Temple at the masical festival. Scheel protested thatof all the musicians only those who had proceeded to New York had uttered any complaint, though a number had gone home to other local lodges. As to salary during the festival week, the men had agreed to take a pro rata and had accepted 1t. With regard to the first-class railway fare and expenses “either way,” he had 'been deceived in the legal significance of the word either. In response to this appeal, the president the San Francisco lodge (Local No. 10) had been heartily in syn\Ynthy with Scheel, and that considerable correspondence had One of the largest octopi ever caught passed on the subject.

Mr. Reichart appealed to the ladies to se- cure money. They replied that they sent out 700 begging letiers yesterday and ex- pected replies soon. At a meeting of the entertainment com- mittee Mrs. Theo Smith, chairwoman of the refreshment committee, reported that she had visited the park to secure prices for 5000 sandwiches for the children. Mrs. Vidaver, who is a member of the same committee, reported that she had been to various hotels, restaurants and candy-stores to get them to donate sup- plies for the entertainment of the children, and that she had met with encouraging success. Sandwiches had been promised as follows: Palace Hotel, 500; Young & ‘Weissman, 500; Occidental, 500; Wilson’s, 500; New Creamerie, 500; Popular, 300; Original Creamerie, 100; New York Kitchen, 100; California Café, 100; Quaker Dairy, 50; California Dairy Kitchen, 50. Six roasts were promised from Campi’s, ten dozen cookies from Swain’s and ten goundu each of candy from Haas' and ruenhagen’s. She thought that all the supplies needed could easily be secured in this way. Mrs. Vidaver’s report appeared to pique Mrs. Smith. She complained that Mrs. Vidayer had been usurping authority. 8he did not wish to accept the donations and finally threatened to resign from the committee, After some trouble, however, the matter was smoothed over., The do- ciary Committee of the Board of Bupervisors sterday and denounced the ‘“deed of gift’ Ix‘om the trustees of the Home for Inebriates to the City as not worth the paper it was written on, and the action of the trustees asabsurd. The deed was referred to the City and County Attorney for his report. nations were thankfully accepted and Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Vidaver were asked to confer on the matter of supplies.

For several days past & middle-aged German has been around the new City Hall asking at the offices of the Police courts for the issnance of a warrant for the arrest of Henry Miller, the cattle king. He told weird stories about Miller having locked his sister up in an insane asy- lum, and threatencd, if the cattleman was not arrested, to kill him and thencommit suicide. As it was evident that the man was crazy, he was yesterday arrested and will be gent o an asylum. S et Merit in Colors. The current number of The Wasp Is fully up to its usual high standard.

Moore, Hunt & Co. guarantee its purity.* to playing the music festival on percentage? Why did they accept their pro rata of tiie pro- ceeds from the aforesaid musical festival? 1 most respectfully request that the affidavits sent to you some time ago be submitted in evi- ence. Local No. 10 refused to suspend Mr. Scheel after he was blacklisted by No. 1 for the simple reason that we heard all the testimony and de- cided he was not guilty. We conl{demd it would be a gross injustice to suspend Mr. Scheel for over three months, or uptil the Na- tional League met, to find out whether he was guilty or not. If the National League found that he was not responsible for the claim, after considering the evidence, what would have been done or could be done to repair the injus- tice done Mr. Scheel for the three months or more he was deprived of making a living? It wonld be justice if he were tound guilty, but it would be very different if he was proven innocent, and we believe him to be 8o. It was decided to wait until the National League met and heard ail the evidence in the case, and after having done so if Mr. Scheel ‘was held re-gonsible by the league we would abide by the league’s decision, ““We promised to abide by the league’s decision, and we are forced to do so,” said J. Matheson. Scheel asked if there could be no alternative, but he was told the only | alternative was for the S8an Francisco lodge to withdraw from the National League, a Eeroceeding which could not for a moment contemplated. The question of time was discussed and it was decided to .give Scheel till next Tuesday before suspending fraternal relations with him. After the meeting many expressions of personal sympathy were expressed for Scheel, a few of the impulsive spirits de- clarinthhat if that was the way the Na- tional League meant to run things it would be better for the San Francisco lodge to withdraw from the union. “We have made a big fight for the man since last December,” said 'J. Matheson, ‘“and while we are still in sympathy with him we have no alternative about suspend- N subject last night, and the probability is that something definite will be announced in a few days.

Recorder Glynn Says the Records Are Kept in Books That Are Falling to Pieces. among other things considered a com- which they are requested to provide in the tax levy $10,000 for the expense of prepar- ing maps for a system of boulevards to con- nect in this City with the grand boulevard to San Jose. The matter will be favorably reported upon. A resolution authorizing the purchase of a lot adjoining the Collingwood School- house at the now reduced price of $2000 was proposed. The petition of property-owners that $10,000 be provided for improving Holly Park was reported against for the reason that for lack of watering facuities the monev would be thrown away. A communication was read from Mayvor Sutro calling attention to the conflicting action of the board with regard to the ten- ants on the Lincoln School property. A recent resolution insnmcteg }fim (the Mayor) to warn the tenants to remove the improvements from the land, while the opinion of the City and County Attorney, which had been asked some time pre- viously, advised the board that it had no power to purchase the improvements while the tenants had no right to remove any such that became attached to the property. To advise them toclearit away, therefore, would be improper. City Attorney for advice. A communication from County Re- corder Glynn asked the committee 1o visit how much he needed attention. He said he was crowded for room on his book- shelves and other conveniences, but most of all many of the records were in need of apart and the paper fading. Hesaid this was the fault of the contract system in making the books—calling for bids and granting the contract to the lowest with- out a standard of excellence being set up and the bidders required to bid to it. The committee will visit the Hall of Records next Mondai afternoon. The question of the summer adjourn- ment was discussed, and it was decided that ‘the date could not be fixed before August. CONTROL OF THE POUND. Ex-Policeman McDonough Ig No Nearer the Coveted Position—Secretary Holbrook’s Views. Three weeks "ago Patrick McDonough presented a petition to the Health and Police Committee of the Board of Super- visors asking to be apvointed pound- master. McDonough is an ex-policeman and is also a close friend of ex-Pound- keeper Jacob Lindo. Secretary Holbrook says that his petition is entirely in the interest of Lindo and is purely a political scheme. The ofticers of the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals are con- siderably worked up over the affair and are bendine every energy toward defeating the petition. The matter was to have come up before the Supervisors’ commit- tee for final disposition yesterday, but action was postponed for two weeks. +Ithink it would be an outrage to take the pound away from the society,” said Secretary Holbrook. “The City "derives a handsome revenue from the pound and is not at the least risk or expense. Even if McDonough gets the appointment he has no place suitable for a pound. I hardly tEink, however, that the Super- visors will appoint McDonough, for that would mean a return to the old system, which wasa disgrace to our City.” ————— Judge Conlan’s Clerk. Police Judge Conlan adjourned his court yes- terday until Tuesday morning. He gave as a reason for his action the fact that the habeas corpus case of his ex-clerk, Ambrose Watson, would be decided by Judge Wallace on Mon- and then the matter of who is entitled e clerkship of the court would be settled. e — Long Surrendered Himself. James H. Long, the attornéy for whose arrest on a charge of felony embezzlement a warrant was issued, gave himself up at the Central lice station yesterday and was charged on the register. He was released on his own recogni- zance by Police Judge Campbell. da; ol The Finance Committee of the Board of | Supervisors met yesterday afternoon and | munication from the Half-million Club, in | The matter was again referred to the | the Hall of Records and see for themselves | being copied, as the books were falling | could not be saved. Captain Meyers and the crew of five men were taken off by the lifeboat, and a line gun was left_on board.

The great line parted under the strain of the tug’s en- gines, and she returned to the City for more hawsers, and the wreck settled back on the beach. Captain Haskell s: the breakers are pounding hard against the stranded schooner, and it is doubtful | if she lives till the Fearless returns this morning. The chel is about eighty-four tons burden and owned by J. Johnsen. She is | valued at $8000 and is not insured. The eighth interest in four vessels be- | longing to the estate of the late Captain | John fimuu, was sold yesterday at the Merchants’ Exchange at public auction to | Captain Bruce. The schooner William | Renton was knocked down at $1400, the bark Newsboy at $1725, the barkentine | Robert Sudden at $2225, and the schooner Golden Shore at $3525. Yesterday the last available wh the Palewood, was chartered at ings. June 1 there were on hand 3 tons of wheat and since that date ,000 | tons have been disposed of, leaving 270,000 tdns on hand, of which about 150,000 tons is the Fair crop. The Halewood makes the twenty-seventh ship chartered for the month of June. 1 On the subject of a. further supply of ships wheat-shippers do not anticipate many arrivals till September and October. Of course a number will come in during the ihterval and be snapped up by the | charterers, but during :}n- two months mentcioned the great fleet will be here. The American ship Kenilworth, Captain ! J. G. Baker, arrived in New York recently after an unusually quick passage of 90 days and 12 hours from Honolulu. This run was only beaten by the old clipper Sover- eign of the Seas, which made the passage in 1873, loaded with whale oil, in 83 days and 12 hours. The Kenilworth was loaded with 3998 tons of raw sugar, valued at $200.423. The long-overdue British ship Falls of Dee which sailed from Newcastle on Tyne December 6, 1894, came in last night, 197 days out. The cause of this lengthening- out of atrip that should not take more than 140 days was®a month of light winds at the beginning of the voyage. Then in latitude 50, in the South Atlantic, she en- countered a succession of hard gales from the northwest to the west- southwest, which followed her around Cape Horn into the Pacific to latitude 50 south. These continuous storms hung on for forty-three days, thrusting the vessel back from her course again ard again. - But the good ship worried through the tempests without any mishaps, and was enabled to sail into port in splendid trim. The Falls of Dee is 276 feet long, 41 feet in beam ana 23 feet deep, and was built at Greenock in 1882. She was chartered be- fore her arrival at a'low rate—27 shillings— for a wheat cargo to Europe by Eppinger & Co., and if the big four-master had failed to arrive that firm would have lost about §6000, as her charter could not be duplicated now for less than 35 shillings. Tt may not be very agreeable to Captain Lock or her owners to have the ship battle for months with the stormy seas and have her come in to lose them £1200. But such are the chances of trade.
