That feeling is largely the cause of the abuses, What they want is an emperor who will make himself seen and felt and let the people know that he is taking an interest in their affairs.” ALASKA WANTS TROOPS. General Schofield Believes That There Should Be a Strong Artillery Force at Sitka. There is every reason to believe that the old abandoned army post situated in Alaska will again be garrisoned with Federal troops. Secretary of War Lamont favors it, and Major-General Schofield says that it would subserve the interest of the Government to occupy Fort Wrangel, if not Sitka barracks. When General Schofield a was making his tour of inspection on this coast he was | directed to proceed north for the purpose of determining whether or not a suitable site for a garrison could be had in Alaska, particularly at Sitka. The gzeneral went no farther than Sitka, as he had previously visited Wrangel. On his return to_§ tle the general reported direct to Washington that in his opinion | Alaska should be garrisoned, and ttat for a very trivial expenditure the two aban- doned garrisons could be made habitable. | Since General Schofield has returned to | Washington he bas written to officers in this City, stating that he had been in con- sultation with the President and Secretary Lamont. From this letter the following extract is taken: “On my return from my tour the first duty was to act upon my visit to Alaska. The President was extremely desirous to reply to the Governor of Alaska whether or not a favorable report had been ren- dered by me. Iam familiar with Alaska, and so informed the President. In n:jy judgment, troops conld be garrisoned ad- vantageously in Alaska, and they should be kept there, the only representative forces being a company of marines ‘at Bitkaand the tug Pinta with one gnn and sufficient sailors to work her. ‘‘From this conference it is evident that the President made a favorable reply to the petitioners. While it would entai expense to keep troops at Fort Wrangel, I think they should be kept at Sitka, whence they could be dispatclr;ed to any point along the coast where they might be,re- quired. For this service I would uuggest'i The Woodland Mail says: “The Croaker and | Back-number is to be taken up bodily and vir- | tually earried along, whether or no, toward the | goal of progress,” This awskening has been caused by the | formation of & League of Progressand through the efforts of Dr. Putnam, recently sent out into the interior by a small body of patriotic San Francisco men who, after concluding that the Hali-million Club had abandoned their original purpose of building up the State in order to’promote the growth of San Fran- cisco, decide to organize the League of Prog- | ress fo carry out the plans outlined at the time of the excursion to Los Angeles. Dr. Putnam has organized branches of the league at Wood- land, Nevada City and Grass Valley, and has secured the hearty indorsement of ihe Sacra- mento Valley Press Association. The associa- tion appointed the representatives of three daily papers, and their treasurer to prepare &n address to the newspapers and citizens of the various couniies of the valley, urging them to proceed to organize iocal coun- cils of the league. The organizer, after seeing the report in THE CALL of the plans of the pro- motion committee, wrote one of the clubs, sug- gesting that as his'only motive was a patriotic | one, and thinking the object for which he is | working can be better accomplished under the auspices of the Half-million Club, he would be | glad to offer his services to the promotion comi- mittee without other compensation than that of recognition as one who is aiding in the pro- motion of progressive ideas for the develop- | ment of the entire State. As ““Unity” is one of | the watch eries of the Half-million Club, it is robable that they will be ready to accept the Bexp of a bod{ that has shown ifs ability to do practical work. Mr. Carman says that one of the best and surest ways_to build up and make a State or community is to find employment for all who want work. In California the number of unemployed is simply appall- ing, particularly when fully 40,000 Chinese and Japanese coolies are coustantly em- vloyed. He believes that the Half-nillion {]lu should take no uncertain stand upon this subject. In order to bring the cooly question to an issue Mr. Carman will at the next meeting of the executive com- mittee, on Wednesday, introduce the fol- lowing resolution: Resolved, That the assistance of the Half- million Clup be given to eny and all efforts for the encoumfiemenl of consumplion of the roducts of home manufactures; and be it urther Resolved, That by “home manufactures” we mean goods manuiactured by men and women in harmony with Americen institutions; and be it further Resolved, That we favor Jegislation that will reduce to the minimum cooly labor of all na- tionalities. August Weather. Weather Bureau data for August have been compiled and offered as & means of anticipat- ing the more important meteorological feat- ures for the month. The normal temperature has been 59 degrees in San Francisco, average rainfall .01 of an inch, clear days 11, partly cloudy 14, cloudy 6. The prevailing winds have come from the southwest, the highest velocity of wind was 42 miles, the highest tem- ture 92 degrees, and the fowest 47. These a ures cover statistics taken in a period of 24 ours, BELVEDERE'S CARNIVAL. Preparations for the Celebra~ tion Which Takes Place To-Morrow Night. TEN THOUSAND LANTERNS. Launches Will Tow Hundreds of Rowboats Amid Showers of Fireworks. Belvedere, the pretty island suburb, will be in gala dress on the occasion of its coming Venetian water carnival, when, at a given signal, the island and adjacent waters will be illuminated by the burning of hundreds of pounds of colored lights. The carnival committee, headed by Director-General Joseph 8. Hawkins, has been sparing no pains nor expense to in- sure the success of the event, and several thousand visitors from San Francisco, Sausalito and Oakland are expected to take part in the festivities as the guests of the citizens of Belvedere, at whose expense the carnival is given. The great success of last year's carnival decided the commiitee to maje the cele- bration a permanent institution, and when the subscription lists were sent around lately over $1000 was very soon raised to defray the expense. The committee has established a “corner” in boats in Sausa- lito and Tiburon, and several hundred small craft will be towed about the cove in rocession, decked with lanterns, while illumination is going on. Twenty-five launches of all sizes have been secured to do the towing. To carry out the illumination idea, the committee decided that about 15,000 lan- James S. Hawkins, Director-General Belvedere’s Second Annual “Night in Venice.” terns would be necessary, and that num- ber was ordered. Ten thousand were sent for to Japan. Over $500 was expended on fireworks which will be sent UE from dif- ferent localities. Two bands have been engaged for the occasion, one of which will discourse music while being being towed about the cove on an ark. ‘Excursion boats from this city will legve the Tiburon ferry at 6:30, 7:30, 8:00, 8:15 and 8:30 o’clock. ~The last boat returning leaves Tiburon at 11 o'clock. Excursion trains will run on the Dona- hue line as far as Santa Rosa, and a large number of visitors are expected from that locality. Carriages and buses have been arranged for to meet all trains and boats and take the invited guests to the houses and arks to which they have been as- d. aquatic cisplay is expected to be a Ve and affair, as a great many yacbts, inciuding the entire Corinthian fieet, will the club was increasing daily. “It is not our purpose now,” he said,” “to organize Democratic clubs in the various districts, but we expect to_organize the Democrats in every district by bringing them to the central organization.”’ The Occidental will soon give a reception to Governor Budd., who has signified to the president, Mr. McCarthy, a readiness to accept the compliment. AN EXECUTOR SUSPENDED, Judge Coffey Orders an Investigation of Adolph Prinz’s Management of an Estate. Charles Moegling, who died a year ago, left a $12,000 estate, and in his will he decreed that his life-long friend, Adolph Prinz, should be the executive, and that no bonds should be required of the latter. This executor was suspended yesterday by sudge Coffey on information that the estate had been mismanaged, and an order was issued to bring Prinz into conrt to render an accounting of the estate. Itis supposed, however, that the executor has disappeared, and that no attempt to ac- count for the proparty will be made. William Moeg_hu;é, a brother of Charles, has filed a petition for appointment as ex- ecutor, but the order of Prinz’s suspension is only temporary, pending a hearing. MUST WORK TO SUCCEED, San Francisco Can Win the Republican National Convention. Development of Eastern Public Sentlment in Favor of This City. General Robert A. Friederich, chairman of the Union League committee on the Republican National Convention, has just returned from Chicago and New York and will soon call the members of the commit- tee together. He regards it as essential that a strong delegation from San Fran- cisco should attend the session of the Re- publican National Committee next Decem- ber. General Friederich believes that this City can win if a united effort be made to achieve success. e says that San Fran- cisco stands next to Chicago in the race, and the friends of Chicago, should they fail to secure the convention for their own town, will cast their strength for this City. General Friederich met many prominent men of the Union League Club of Chicago and was gratified to note the expressions of friendship for San Francisco. The Chicago Tribune was especially generous and in an interview published the advan- tages offered by San Francisco. Charles A. Aldrich of the Chicago Union League, who was Solicitor-General under President Harrison, gave the chairman of the San Francisco committee much en- couragement. Another friénd of San Franciscois George R. Peck, general solicitor of the Atchison system. %\{r. Peck_recently delivered an address before the Washington and Jeffer- son societies of the University of Virginia, which has evoked more favorable com- ment in the South than Henry Grady’s celebrated Boston speech on the “New South.” In the West he has a strong fol- lowing for the Presidential nomination, being a decided favorite in Illinois and Kansas. He knows San Francisco’s capa- city for entertaining visitors and appre- ciates the hospitality of the people on this side of the continent. Ex-Governor Thomas A. Osborn of Kansas, who was Minister to Chile during President Grant’s second term, is pro- nounced in favor of S8an Francisco. Leading Reyublican: throughout the country recognize the fact that a National converition of the party has never been held west of the continental divide, where all the Statesare Republican. They under- stand from the standpoint of politicians that it would be good policy to hold the convention in San Francisco. Only one objection is raised, and that is the distance which delegates will be obliged to travel. S SO G KIP OLUB CELEBRATION. The Boys of the Good Samaritan Mission Enjoy Themselves. The boys of the Kip Club celebrated the first anniversary of the organization at the Good Samaritan Mission house last evening. There was a miscellaneous pro- gramme, consisting of Shakespearean read- ings by Miss Mary Bell and Mr. Dudley, vocal solos by Robert Burns and vocal solos with guitar accompaniment by Chris Jorgensen. The club sent greetings to the founder, Rev. W. L. Kip, who is spending a vaca- - —_— ARK POLLIWOG, COMMITTEE HEADQUARTERS. lie in the cove on this occasion, and the offering of a pennant for the best decor- ated yacht has led to a friendly rivalry, which will result in some fine displays of bunting and lanterns. While invitations have been issued to those who will be en- tertained at the homes of the residents, the carnival will be free to all who can get to Tiburon, and in anticipation of a big crowd Sherifi Harrison of Marin County and Chief Crowley of this City will send details of officers to keep order. POLITICAL CLUBS. Plans Adopted for Bringing Democrats Together and Promoting Har- mony Among Them. The scattered forces of the Democratic party in San Francisco are in process of reorganization on three separate and dis- tinct lines. P. F. Dundon is marshaling some of the faithful under the banners of the Occidental Club on the hill, Max Pop- per is calling the Iroquois braves to coun- cil at_the Baldwin Hotel and Lanigan is recruiting a corps from Democrats who do not belong to any particular camp. Max Popper is doing some active work in forming Iroquois clubs, one in each As- sembly district, while Dundon is gathering Democrats from all districts to member- ship in the Occidental. It is asserted that no rivalry exists anywhere and that the sole 2im of all concerned is to promote harmony. How it is going to be ug::xmoted by these three factions is not ly set forth. 7 Inquiry was made at the Occidental Club last evening if Mr. Buckley had been in during the day, and Marion Wilson replied that Buckley was at Coronado. Many “‘Occidentals” were in the house enjoying the comforts which the establish- ment offers, and the statement was made by the secretary that the membership of tion in the country. A letter of greeting was read from Mrs. Louisa Howison, who bas made many donations to the club. The constitution, in which the object was declared to be the cultivation of Christian manliness, was read, and several boys ap- pended their names to the document. A military drill by the Boys’ Brigade, which is under the instruction of O. 8. Erlbach, drill master, closed the programme. . The Kip Club numbers thirty boys, and is officered by A. L. Johnston, president; H. L. Luhrsen, vh:e-presideni; B. Beal, secretary ; M. E. Hammond, treasurer. It is one of the branches of the Good Samari- tan Mission, which has a membership of 200 boys. STREET-SWEEPING CONTRA(T. The Specifications of the Merchants’ Association Adopted. The Street Committee yesterday decided to accept the specifications as prepared by the Merchants’ Association for cleaning the streets by hand labor, The specifications will be advertised at once and bids called for under them. This is quite a victory—strange as that may ngpen—iur good streets and the Mer- chants’ Association, for two other speci- fications were submitted, both tendin, toward the old machine system, a heayy pressure was brought to bear to se- cure their acceptance. An Envelope Factory. The Manufacturers’ and Producers’ Associa- tion yesterday received 8 communication from a firm in Milwaukee stating that the members desire to establish an envelope factory in San Francisco. The company would put up a plant of six improved machines that can turn out emplo; en| or hande, The firm desired to learn what the Wfimiwmnnwe-olmnm tye in | who was shot on Washingto UTICA'S SUPERINTENDENT, Tom Lane Is in Town Buying Big Pumps to Lift the Water Out. THE FIRE CAUSED BY A FUSE. He Says That the Great Gold Pro- ducer’s Wealth Is Not Half Developed Yet. Tom Lane, the plucky young superin- tendent of the Utica mine, who at the risk of his life went down in the shafts and Wai was charged with the crime. The latter was the man who was identified by Tie before he died as the man who gave him the fatal wound. A verdict of suicide was rendered in the case of John Benz, who shot himself at 1623 Powell street on the 14th inst. He committed the deed while ina fit of de- spondency brought about by ‘illness. ——————— AN INSTITUTE OELEBRATION, Borromean Council Has an Evening at Home in the Mission. The members of Borromean Council No. 129, Young Men’s Institute, celebrated the installation of the council’s new officers with an “evening at home” on Wednes- day evening. Their rooms and hall at 2131 Mission street were brilliantly decorated for the occasion, and some eighty guests sat down with the members at the festive board. Refreshments and smoking were provided, and the following programme rendered: Address of welcome, President N. J. Hoey; overture, Professor P. W. D’Arcy’s orches- tra; remarks, T. J. Barry, acting president T. T. LANE, SUPERINTENDENT OF THE UTICA MINE, [From a photograph.] brought up the last miners in the butning mine, arrived here yesterday morning. Mr. Lane is a young man of some 26 years, and for his age has probably more responsibility than any man in a like position in that section of the country. William Miller, General Underground Foreman of the Utica Mine. His father is one of the owners and gen- eral manager of Hayward & Lane’s im- mense interests. Mr. Lane s business in town is to pur- chase and ship down to Angels Camp some big pumps to hasten the work of getting the water out of the Utica. “There are about 40,000,000 gallons of water in the mine,” he said. “How long it will take to get it all out I cannot say just yet, but everything will be done to hurry it up and get the men at workagain. ‘We have at the mine a big Cornish pump and two smaller ones with a capacity for pumping out 20,000 gallons an hour. I shall send up from here at least two pumps, one with a capacity of 48,000 and the other of 18,000 qnllon: an hour, These will lift 2,000,000 gallons a day. We may be at work in two_or three weeks again, but it certainly will not be over a month at farthest.” Asked about the cause of the fire, Mr. Lane said there was no doubt that it was caused by accident. ‘‘A piece of fuse from a shot was probably thrown against some timbers in a dry place. You know how these old timbers will be crushed almost into splinters by the pressure and be easily ignited.” d Mr. Lane was very modest about his gal- lant conduct in rescuing the men from the 1100-foot level. - “The men had to be got out,” he said. He spoke of having been overcome more than once by the foul gases when he and a shift-boss went to open up the bulkheads after the fire was extinguished. ‘‘Couldn’t very well find the men,” he said. “But then there was not so much danger to any one with a strong constitution.” Asked about the ore in the illxflper part of the mine and keeping the mi going, hé said: “We shall need all the power for the pumps and shall not run the mill on that ore. We have plenty of it, of course. There is enough in the upper part of the mine to keep us going six or seven years.” Speaking of the outlook in the lower lev- els, he said: “The ore shows bigger and richer as we go down. In fact, I believe that with all that has been done we have not more than begun to open the mine.” During the fire the superintendent’s prinei; adviser and assistant, William Miller, general underground foreman, dis- played admiral self-possession and bravery. —_— OHARGES OF MURDER. Verdicts of Coroners’ Juries in Regard to Three Deaths. The Coroner was kept busy with inquests yesterday. The first case which came up was that of Clarence H. Barr, who died from the effects of wounds inflicted with a knife by C. B. Henderson in the Baldwin Hotel barroom several days ago. There was no new evidence developed in the case and the jury returned a verdict settin, forth that the deceased came to his dea at the hands of Barr, and charging him with murder. The second inquest was that of Mrs. Louise Hauser, who died from the effects of an operation on the 13th inst. In tke verdict g: . Dr. L. Schmidt was charged with murder, and :;;her husband was charged with being an accessory to the crime. In the case of Mock Tie, the Chinese n street, a verdict of murder was returned and Chong Columbia Council No. 55; vocal solo, J. H. Widman; toasts, “The Y. M. l.,”” George A.

He Thinks Superintendent Ashworth’s Statements Are in Bad Taste. George T. Gaden thinks Street Superin- tendent Ashworth’s statementsin an inter- view published in one of the evening papers were in very bad taste. “After he promised me that he would correct certain evilsto which I called atten- tion in the report which I intepded to present to the Civic Federation,” said he, “I decided to let that document repose in the secrecy and seclusion of my desk. But an evening paper makes Mr. Ashworth speak of me in a very discreditable manner. “I am characterized as a bluffer and a false alarm, but those who know me, I think, are aware of the fact that the United States army could not back me aown from a position I had once taken. ad laid down the weapons of war and I thought matters would go on smoothly, but it seems Mr. Ashworth wants to reopen hos- tilities. “I still have my report, which has been spoken of as a ‘burner’ and a ‘scorcher, with holes all through it and the edges shriveled up,’ and it was impolitic on Ash- worth's part, to_say the least, to reopen the matter in such a manner. I shall have nothing more to say on the subject just at present, hoping that the Superintendent of the Street e!partment will act with more propriety in future.” — e THE FIRE AT SCOTIA. Losses Estimated at $167,000 and In- surance at $70,000. A. J. Wetzlar, the insurance man, re- turned Wednesday from Scotia, where he had been” adjusting losses by the recent fire in the Pacific Lumber Company’s mill. The miil is situated about forty miles from Eureka, and was burned July6. The planing-mill, sawmill, storehouses and warehouses, a cookhouse and 2,000,000 feet of lumber, besides a number of dwelling houses and all the lumber sheds were de- stroyed. In all the fire laid waste aBous seven and a half acres. Mr. Wetzlar ascertained the loss to be $167,000 and the insurance $70,000, This is divided among numerous companies. The owners of the mill say they will rebuild at once. They own 17,000 acres of timber land in the vicinity. Meantime there are nearly 400 men idle, as a result of the fire. AN EXBIT.NG PRZE FGHT, Smith in Seven Hard- Fought Rounds. THE SHERIFF INTERFERES Sallors and Soldlers Who Will Drink Wine Over the Champion’s Victory. The fistic battle between Tom Sharkey, “the demon of the navy,”’ and Billy Smith of Australia at the Colma Athletic Club last evening reminded old patrons of the ring of the fight which Billy Smith had with Jimmy Carroll at the old California Club some years ago. Carroll was sup- posed to be completely out of condition, and he so informed the gamblers, who wagered a large sum of money on Smith. But Carroll was up to snuff and whipped Smith 1n an exciting encounter. The betting was all in favor of Smith, who sold for §10 against $7 on the cham- pion of the navy. The naval lad was hit several times hard enough to stop an ordinary pugilist, but the blows seemed only to arouse his Irish blood and instead of retreating he dashed at his opponent with a renewed increase of pugilistic vim and completely smothered Smith in his wild rushes and blows. The fight gave general satisfaction. Smith’s hands were badly used up and his face will present a very “knobby” appear« ance for a few weeks to come. Sharkey, on the other hand, was comparatively fresh when the contest was over. Jefferson Beaylou (colored) of New York and Tom Breslyn of this City were the first to enter the ring in a six-round con- test. Frank Allen was appointed referee. The colored pugilist of the East proved to be a tyro. Breslin had lots of fun with him for ten rounds, and then his breathing a paratus gave out. Jefferson remained of nntil the last round, when a little spirited slogging was indulged in. Both men were exhausted when time was called, and the referee decided upon a draw, After Charley Rochette and Frank Bruce boxed three rounds, the event of the evening came, and this was announced to bea twenty-round contest between Billy Smith of Australia and T. V. Sharkey, the champion middle-weight of the English and American navies, It was exactly 10 o’clock when Billy Smith and his attendants stepped inside the ropes. His seconds were Hill, Hank and Barber. In a minute afterward Sharkey took his position. He was_at- tended by Mulverhill, Joe King and Jack Sullivan.” John King was selected referee. The time-keepers were Frank Allen, G. Gilfeather and George Harding. Just before the battle the Marine band put in an appearance and received a great ovation. Sharkey wore a nervous look, while Smith appeared confident. Although Smith was a shade the taller man, the sailor had an advantage in mus« cular development. Time was called at 10:15 o’clock, and the “‘dukes’’ went to work. Sharkey haa certainly all the best of the first round. He bore in upon Smith and punched the latter with right and left until Smith wondered what he wasup against. Smith retired with a very bioody nose and mouth, the result of uppercuts. Smith, however, got home a few stiff punches which took some of the wind out of Sharkey. In the second round Sharkey again set the pace and landed several hard rights and’ lefts on Smith’s face and ribs, but before the end of the round his rushes were noticed to decrease and Smith got home some of his favorite uppercuts. Sharkey, however, had the better of the round. In the third round Sharkey fell short several times, and Smith, who had the ndvanufie of experience, kept off atlong range. In a rally Sharkey knocked Smith down, and the seconds of the two men leaped into the middle of the ring, and Referee King stopped the fight until quiet was restored. The sailor was fighting wild when the fighters resumed hostilities, and Smith got in several unishinfi uppercuts which took considerable starch out of Sharkey. It was a thoroughly game fight, however, and when time was_called either pugilist could scarcely stand. Smith had at this juncture the best of the round, as Sharkey’'s rushes were all subdued. In the fifth round Smith commenced chopping, and as Sharkey was compara- tively tame the Australian landed as he leased. Sharkey, in a rally, landed on mith’s nose a heavy right, after which he pushed Smith down, but the latter was up in quick order and at it again, Aftera few exchanges time was called. The sixth round was delayed a mimm} because one of Smith’s gloves had slippe off. When they went at it again Smith landed five or six uppercuts which would have knocked any ordinary man out, but Sharkey stood his ground and took hisg medicine. In a hot rally Smith dropped to the floor to avoid punishment. Neai the end of the round Smith fell again ex« hausted. Sharkey was fighting wickedly, though using poor judgment. In the seventh round Sharkey had rey gained his wind so to speak, and hammered mith all round the ring, knocking him down several times. Amid intense excite: ment the Sheriff stopped the fight, ag Smith was completely gone, having been whipped at his favorite game—a rushin, fight. Smith acknowledged that he wag beaten fairly by a second Jimmy Burge. Joe McAuliffe will now have a chance te try conclusions with the “demon of the¢ navy.” CAN YOU FIND Any reason for the continued weakness of your wife?
