The Pacific Yacht Club will start for Santa Cruz this morning for a holiday cruise and incidentally a race down to the city by the sea. Only five craft will start, the original programme having been dis- turbed from various causes. Ten vessels entered for the race, and- the first to with- draw was the schooner Lily L.

The Foreman of the Late Grand Jury Has No Comment on Justice Beatty. ‘William H. Gagan has returned from a little outing near Pilarcitos, to find that in his absence Chief Justice Beatty of the Bupreme Court has said some very un- pleasant things of the late Grand Jury, of which Mr. Gagan was the head. Bince his return from the lakeside the ex-foreman of the investigating body has taken occasion to read up on Justice Beatty’s comment on the Grand Jury's report, and was well informed on the mat- ter when seen last evening by a reporter for the CaLn.

Mr. Ross confi- dently hoped to have the repairs made in time, but yesterday he gave the job upasa hopeless task and concluded to stay home. Another vessel which had entered the list was the Rover, but she left for Santa Cruz on . Sunday and will remain there to participate in the festivities of the fleet. Yesterday afternoon the Annie, flagship of the Pacifics, Commodore Caduc, the Lurline, ex-Commodore Spreckels, the pilot-boat Gracie 8, Captain McCullough, the Idler, Captain I. C. Wilson, and the ‘Whirlwind, Asminl von Schmidt, came to anchor off the seawall, between Powell street and Meiggs wharf, with everything in readiness for a race down the coast. All hands went on board the yachts last night, and this morning, some time be- tween 6 and 7 o'clock, the fleet will be towed to sea. It was intended to make a beat of it down the bay, but the programme was changed, as it was feared that the trip might not be made in a day. The yachts will remain at Santa Cruz until the Fourth, when the start will be made for S8an Fran- cisco. Every club on the bay will be represented under sail over the holidays, and the beats will be out from to-morrow afternoon until Sunday next. The Corinthians and San Franciscos will make the up-river cruise, most of the yachts leaving Tiburon and Sausalito on Wednesday afternoon. Three of the Corinthian boats are already in the river, having left on Saturday afternoon. They are the Speedwell, DonoLoe's new boat, which captured the Corinthian prize this year, in command of Ed Howard; the Belle, John and Joe O'Brien and the Har- poon, Captain Cook. To-morrow after- noon the following yachts will leave the it and do not care to say anything concern- ing its work.

The Columbia Theater was packed from floor to roof last night to see the produc- tion of “The Senator,” and incidentally to witness the first appearance on the stage of Miss Helen Kelleher, a popular local reciter. It would not be fair to judge Miss Kelleher's future as an actress by her performance of Mrs. Armstreng last night. Sne was suffering from something very nearly akin to stage fright, and was evidently too much awed by her unecoustomed surroundings to throw much personality into & part that at its best is rather a thankless one. In fact, Miss Kellaher seemed to be between Scylla and Charybdis. She knew she must not elocute, as of yore, and yet she seemed timid about flinging aside the elocutionist's art and acting. This difficulty will be easily overcome with practice, and Miss Kelleher has an excel- lept voice in her favor. The Senator'' was a spirited performance, taken altogether. Maclyn Arbuckle, in the title role, was full of the required exuberance and bonbomie; indeed, there was never a dull moment when he wason thestage. Miss Blanche Bates, who is making a record for herself in frivolous roles, ur&;nsed her former efforts in that line as the aashing Mrs. Hilary, and Miss Hope Ross made & bright little Josie Arm- strong. Charles F. Wyngate rather fell short in his interpretation of the aristocratic Aus- trian Count. George Osbourne, who played the Becretary of State, was warmly welcomed. 2 At the Oalifornia. “The Old Homestead,” with its “Old Oaken Bucket,” “The OWi sud the Pussy Cat,” the quaint humor of joshus, Cy, Seti: Perkins, the Hoboken tenor and the kindly o}d ladies, 1s re- peating its success of last season. The scenes on the old farin, the homely rural sports and astimes, the meeting between erring boy and loving father in the churchyard, appeal all, ‘Wilson, Jose and the choir and quartet were all apprecfated and encored. It will run this and next week, to be followed by Hoyt's “A Black Sheep.” At the Grand Opera-House. “Under the Lash,” a melodrama of New York life, has & plot which centers around the en- deavor of a villain to rob s blind girl, an un- conscious heiress, of her fortune, with the aid of acriminal Italian, whd claims her as his daughter. The scene opens with a realistic view of a New York railroad station. Another realistic scene is of the East River, with the lights of New York in the . distance. The free fights that occur are éven more free than usual in the realm of melodrama.

Those who applauded the music and laughed at the hits and witticismg of Hartman, Branson and the rest of them when the “Tar and Tartar” was at the Tivoli before, were none the less hearty in their appreciation last night. Hartman as Muley Hassan, with his seven hundred wives and his thirteen hundred and thirteen step-children, Branson as the Grand Vizier, EA Torpi, West, Lania Miller, Miss Plaisted and Miss Royce were all in oice. The music was g and the local hits v amusing.

It is a pas de deux in which the young woman, who is at- tired in v.ay voluminous ekirts, and the young man, who does not wear any skirts, exeeute sowe very artistic yet ecceniric steps. ‘Miss Scottie,” the dog wonder, attracted a great deal of attention by & display Jof wonderful knowl- edge of card-playing, counting and spelling simple words.

Narrow Escape From Death of Joseph Loehten, Captain Blair's Butler. Joseph Loehten, butler for Samuel Blair, 1375 Van Ness avenue, hovered between life and death for several hours yesterday, but is now out of danger. He did not make his appearance as usual yesterday morning, and one of the ser- vants was sent to his room to ascertain what was the matter with him, She knocked, but received no answer. A strong smell of gas came from the room, and she reported that something must be wrong. The door was forced open and Loehten was found unconscious lying partly under- neath the bed. The room was full of gas, which came from the open jet. Dr. Gibbons, the family physician, and Dr. Bushnell were hurriedly summoned and they worked on him for several hours PAYING THE REVENUE TAX, It Became Due Yesterday and the Taxpayers Were Very Prompt. THE CLERKS WERE KEPT BUSY. Over One Thousand Dealers Were on Hand and Received Their '° i Licenses. The internal revenue fiscal year for 1895-96 began yesterday. In consequence the 8750 retail liquor dealers in San Fran- cisco and the 6250 others liable to taxation under the Federal laws were fairly ' well represented throughout the day.

What the Defendants Are Sald to Want in the Way of Modl- ficatlons. A prominent stockbroker on Pine street suggested yesterday that a petition be sent by the men in that business to the Supreme Court, urging that body to hasten its de- cision in the Hale & Norcross suit. Wiser heads advised against it. “No,” said they, “that would not gain sympathy for the cause. Too many people look on the brokerage business as gambling car- ried on under another name, all of which the other brokers acknowledge to be cor- rect.” Anxious stockholders lingered about the Supreme Court building and around the brokers’ offices yesterday in , the hoge that something_would be heard from the dis- cussion, No word came to the stockhold- ers, however, though a rumor gained cir- culation through other sources. Mr. Fox, the plaintiff in the famous case, said yesterday afternoon that he had re- ceived information from a pretty reliable source that the decision, long expected and longer deferred, would be Banded down to-morrow before 4 o’clock In_the after- noon. If this information should prove to be true there will be a great jubilation among the holders of Hale & Norcross stock. “What will the delinquent assessments “| amount to then?” asked Mr. Fox, with a hearty laugh. ‘Nothing, nothing, to be sure. Then people can well afford to pay them. The stock: will go up, and the dividend, as I said the other day, will - | amount to §10 or $11 a share. «‘As a matter of truth, I do not'think the: - defendants really wish to have the decision of the lower court reversed. All they care for is to have the fraud and -conspirac; clause modified, qualified or eliminated. .| That clause reads;you know, as follows: “That it appears'to the court that the said Hale & Noreross Silver Mining Compapy has suffered damage and injury by reason of the wrongs, frauds and conspiracy of the defendants in the sum of $1,011,025." Thatis all they are fighting for. But there is a broader principle involved than most persons seem to have discovered.” “Yes,”’ broke in Attorney W. T. - gett, “‘that is too true. It effects all stocks and corporations. The question is: ‘Can the officers of a corporation wron, and injure the stockholders and then fin protection in the courts?” It is a grave question, and the holdinfi back of the de- cision has worked grave harm to the stock interests in this street, in which hundreds of thousands, yes, millions of dollars are invested.” ‘- Repairing Car-Tracks.

During 1894-95 there was $218,000 more collected than in 1893-94. This is. & very suggestive fact, in view of the cry of “*hard times™ that has been heard during all of 1894, The people who paid their taXes yester- day were from all classes of liquor dealers. Theré was the distiller, the wine-maker, saloon-keeper, the corner groceryman, the restaurant-keeper and the dive-gwner. ‘Women, old and young, and in some cases children came to pay the tax imposed by the Government and receive the license which will allow them to remain in busi- ness for another year. Everybody was in a hurry and the clerks intheoffice were worked to the ntmost. All the arrangements had been periected by Chief Deputy Loup long before the crowd began to atrive, and there wis.in conse- quence very little delay. This fact can be seen at a glance when it is remembered that over 1000 people paid their tax and re- ceived their receipts in less than eight working hours. One old gentleman got very angry because a young man pushed in ahead of him, but order was restored when another clerk took his name and made out his receipt almost before he had time to cool down. 7 *“Although according to onr books there are 8750 retail liquor-dealers in San Fran- cisco.” said Deputy Collector Loup, ‘it does not follow that the City collects a license from them; but any person who retails wine and beer is liable for the inter- nal revenue tax. Any restaurant that gives wine or beer with & meal has to pay. 1t does not matter if it is a five-ceat lunch or a §5 feast, all are inciuded. Houses in which champagne is sold to the patrons also have to pas, and quite a number of arrests were made last year for an infringe- mentof the law. A considerable sum of last year’s surplus'was from the fines in- flicted on these people. ““There are 13, whalesale and retail dealers in the district yet to hear from, and it will probably be a couple of weéks be- fore our rush is over. I think we will have no troubte in handling them, as the staff is in good working order and every man knows just exactly what he has to do.” It does not appear that any baking pow- der, when presented in competition with the Royal, either at the Government tests or before World’s Fair juries, has ever re- ceived favor or award over the Royal or made an equal showing in purity, strength or wholesomeness. DAVIDSON'S DISMISSAL, Prominent Local Societies Protest and Desire His Reinstatement. Senator . Perkins Advises a Me~ morial to the Secretary of the Y Treasury. Indignation at the summary removal of Professor George Davidson, first assistant of the Coast and - Geodetic Survey, has be- come 80 marked that the several bodies of which he was an- honorary or active mem- ber yesterday expressed their détermina- tion to take action in the matter of re- questing and insisting upon bis reinstate- ment. The feeling has extended beyond those public bodies which are directly interested and yesterday there was a very general expression by numerous foreign-born citizens of San Francisco, especially French, German and - English. They referred " to the long service of Pro- fessor Davidson and compared the inci- dent of his dismissal with the more satisfactory plan in their own countries of retiring such officials dfter thirty-five years of service on three-fourths pay, with honors added. These persons stand ready to do anythirg they may do toward aiding in his reinstatement, when the time comes to act, And the time to act is now, according to the view taken of the matter by Senator Perkins,. The Senator spent a good por- tion of his time yesterday in receiving ' representatives of the Technical Society, the Geographical Bociety of the Pacific, - W 4 i the Academy ol‘Scientes and the Chamber of “Commerce. These bodies, or their representatives, had determined that it was a duty they owed to the people of this coast and the gocd name of . Ean Francisco to protest against the dismissal- of Professor Davidson, whose career bas been of such an honorable char- acter, and whose service to the Govern- ment and this coast has been 5o long rec- ognized by all who were acquainted with him intimately and affected by his work directly, or who knew him merely in his official capacity. They called npon Senator Perkins as the chief representative of the people of the coast, and when they asked his opinion he was quick to respond that whatever should be done ought to be done immediately while the people are well informed of the facts. Then his advice was that these so- cieties should formulate statements of the work done by Professor Davidson on this coast, reciting his long service under the Government, and then address a memorial to the Becretary of the Treasury on the subject and that the California Sen~ ators and Congressmen put the whole mat- ter before Congress at the next session and ask Professor Davidson’s reinstatement. “Do this now,” said Senator Perkin “and provide each of the Senators an Representatives with copies, that they may have them for reference, and urge that action be taken without delay when Con- gress assembles.” Captain W. L. Merry of the Chamber of Commerce presented the matter to Senator Perkins onpbehllf of that body, and ex- pressed himself pleased with the sugges- tions made by the Senator. The chamber will hold its regular quarterly meeiing on the 9th inst., at Which time the matter will be duly presented and efficiently dis- posed of. President Harkness of the Academy of Sciences went to the Senator and stated that the academy desired to act in the matter, and upon receiving the sugges- tions of Senator Perkins he prepared the following statement and presented it at last night’s meeting; 5 . Ladfes and gentlemen, members of the Academy of Sciences: The public press has in- formed you that Professor Davidson, & member of this academy and for many vears its presi- dent, has, in defiance of civil service rules, been summarily dismissed from the position he has so honorably filled as director of the Geodetic Survey of this coast: therefore it is & duty incumbent upon us that we, as a body, should take some action in the matter—such action as should express our sentiments upom s0 important a subject. ?
