A THREATENED DISSOLUTION. Order Restored, R. W. Houston Made Temporary Chairman and Delegates Seated. The first congress of the Afro-American Leagues ever held on the Pacific Coast was called to order in California Hall, on Bush street, yesterday afternoon, by T.B. Mor- ton of San Francisco. The first act in the proceedings was a prayer offered by Rev. George E. Duncan, pastor of the Third Baptist Church. The call for the congress issued by the Afro-American Leagues of the State was read, and Mayor Sutro deliv- ered an address of welcome which was punctuated with outbursts of applause. Mr. Morton responded in a brief but earnest address, in which he said: We trust that our deliberations will be pro- duetive of most excellent results; that the ad- dresses delivered and the essays read will in- gpire us with higher ambition and purpose in life and that in future we shall look back upon assemblage of our people with unalloyed satis Thus far the floor of the convention was occupied by as quiet and orderly a body of mn as might have been found in a re- ligious assemblage. W. E. Henderson ad- dressed the chair with a motion for the appointment of a committee of five on temporary organization. Then the quiet and peacefulness was transformed into a chaos of shouts, demands, warnings and accusations. George W. Dennis demanded recognition the gavel was the only response. He di manded the adoption of parliamentary usage in nomination of candidates for temporary officers. recognized by the chair, the motion put to yote and carried by a storm of ayes, and | in spite of the protestations of Mr. Dennis, | A. A. Owens and others. The following named were appointed on the committee: W. E. Henderson, W. A Brinkley, Mat Stephens. “Will you allow me to make a state- went?” shouted Mr. Dennis. “You are aware,” returned the chair- man, “that I cannot recognize any one whose credentials are not filed here.” Dennis declared that his credentials were filed, but the chairman disregarded nis assertions, and the proceedings went on despite the opposition offered by Messrs. Dennis, Collins and Jackson. They wanted to know whether Mr. Morton were a czar ora servant of the people. They charged him with insulting the intelligence of the people of California and disgracing his race. They asserted that he was the tool of Dan Burns. There were roars, and shouts, and imprecations, and amid it all the committee on temporary organization reported R. W. Houston of Bakersfield for temporary chairman. He was well re- ceived, and delivered an address which for the time restored order. Then George W. Dennis again endeav- ored to object to what he called the gag rule of the proceedings and was cahed Morton that Dennis claimed to represent the Anti-Lynch League, now dead, which point of order the new chairman promptly sustained. Mr. Dennis made a few further and ineffectual efforts to secure recogni- tion, and after introducing himself person- ally to the chairman and shaking his hand warmly subsided. The following-named committee on cre- dentials was appointed and retired: J. B. Wilson, Alameda; H. A. Collins, Stock- ton; F. A.

The congress, after the appointment of the following committee on rules, ad- journed till 8 p. m.: Henderson of San Francisco, Brinkley of Stockton, Ste&)hen! of Bakersfield, Bridges of Fresno and Bin- ford of San Francisco. The permanent organization was ef!ected at the opening of the evening session as follows: President, T. B. Morton; first vice-president, R. W. Houston; second vice-president, W.

We sent him seyen girls yesterday and to-day eight. We find that the girls'are not disinclined to go to work in the factory. It is not in the Chinese quarter, and some of them say that they prefer the positions, as they are not in- terfered with and their money is always ready for them when their work is done. Of course, that is only a maiter of indi- vidual feeling. We simvly supply the de- mand for the labor from our registered list, the same as we would any other. There is one good feature of the China- man’s ingisting on his employes registering through us, as it helpsus to keep our statistics in better shape. If every em- ployer would do the same we could keep in touch with the condition of all classes of labor.” A visit to Wah's fncto:-ly on street showed that u‘f to date he is keep- ing strictly to his determination.

[tis true that the wages earned by the overall-makers are not magnificent. I‘};r engineers’ overalls the rate is 75 cents a dozen and for the ordinary ones 65 cents adozen. Wah told the Commissioner that he would raise_ the prices if any other manufacturers did, and would in other ways keep abreast of the times. ““He scemed to take gquite an interest in the bureau,”’ said Commissioner Fitz- gerald yesterday, “‘and promised to have oniy girls who have registered here.

THREE DIRECTORS RESIEN. A Split in the Management of the Mechanics’ In- stitute. Arrangements for the Coming Me~ chanical Exposition Are Nearly Completed. The board of directors of the Mechanies’ Institute held a prolonged session last evening 1n the discussion of details in con- nection with the fair which is to open on the 13th inst., and also in regard to the resignation of three directors who were recently elected members of the board. It has been rumored for some days past that there were dissensions in the board, and that certain members did not work harmoniously together, as a result of which resignations would ensue. The first resig- nation read last night was that of Alexander Bardett, and in the communi- cation he stated that while it_was cus tom- ary to assign a reason for resigning he was frank enough to say that he had none. He added that he wanted to express his best wishes to all of his fellow-members. ‘While the letter was written in rather tart style Mr. Bardett’s friends in the board sald that he was not in any way put out because he could not have his way as re- gards the music committee, but that it was pressure of business alone which caused him to relinqunish the responsibili- ties of the position. The resignation of Henry T. Bush was based upon the same grounds. The third resignation was that of Will E. Fisher, who up to the reading of his letter sat as a member of the board and took part in its deliberations. As soon as the letter was read he left the room. It wasa brief document, m which he also expressed his best wishes for the members of the board and for the coming fair. These letters of resignation were considered in éxecutive session and the resignations were accepted. The successors of the three gentlemen will be named at the next meet- ing of the board. The election of the new directors will bave to come before the members of the institute. Many details as to minor privileges in the coming fair were considered. Among them was one irom Rodney Kendrick to deck the rafters of the Pavilion with tissue-paper flowers of ail imaginable hues for $8&. Atter a long debate for and against the proposition it was decided to refer the matter to the committee on decorations. The matter of repairing the sidewalk in front of the institute’s property at Six teenth and Folsom streets was referred to the building committee. The report of the fair committee showed that all arrangements are progressing in a very favorable manner and tnat the dis- {z!ny of exhibits will be more complete han ever before. THE ELECTION COMMISSION Discussion of Denman’s Age and the Candidates for the Chief Deputyship. The Election Commissioners met yes- terday afternoon but did nothing beyond discussing the question of Mr. Denman’s age once more and talking about the candidates for chief deputy, Mr. Castle wants Mr. Steppacher and Mr. Foster wants O. L. Sweet, and Mr. Denman and Mr. Wellin are hu;gl:f back to let them fig{:tgont. The final decision has been ut olf. pThe discussion of Mr. Denman’s age was confined to a protest by Mr. Castle as to Mr. Denman’s omission in not filing affidavits as to his years when the ques- tion first came up.

The Sokoto encountered a hard blow in the English Channel, which shifted her cargo of general merchandise to vort, giv- ing the vessel a heavy list, which unbe- coming position she carried half across the Atlantic. The fierce gales at Cape Horn threw the load over to starboard, heeling her in that divection far off an even keel. It took several weeks' hard work after the storm blew itselfout to shift the cargo igto place again. It was an ill wind that blew the South- ern Pacific Railroad steamer San Benito toward the disabled steamer Monticello on her recent trip from BSeattle to this City. The little boat from the sound, which is to carry passengers between Vallejo and 8an Francisco, broke down off Point Arena and was towed into port by the San Benito. This vessel is under charter to the Pacific Improvement Company (otherwise the Southern Pacific Railroad Company), and that corporation claims all her earnings and charges for what time she may waste in saving life or gropert)n On Monday the Pacitic [mprovement Company fibeled the Monticello, a deputy United States Marshal taking possession of the steamer at Main-street wharf while undergoing repaits. It was a surprise to the Hatch brothers, as they understood that if the San Benito made any claim against their vessel it would only be for towage. “] was astonished,” said Hatch, “when the officer took possession of the steamer. It is an outrage, this attempt to gobble up the Monticello, but I suppose it is one way to kill off a proposed opposition line. However, when our steamer is ready for work we will be found making two round trips daily between San Francisco and Vallejo and carrying passengers at reduced rates—a very lively opposition to the Southern Pacific Railroad Company.” The owners of the Monticello gave bonds in the sum of $2000 and the case will come off August 13. A very neat and skillful feat in tug- handling took place Monday, when Cap- tain Gil Brokaw of the little towboat Alert of the Spreckels Tug Company picked up and brought in two vessels in one tow. Captain Brokaw first hooked on to the barkentine C. G. Wilder. Then passing with his tow abreast of the big ship Eudora picked her up aiso. With their wheels thrown over in opposite directions the two vessels were kept apart while the tufihnuled them swiftly uér the bay. ereafter the Harbor Commission tugs will respond only to alarms in the district between Powell-street wharf and Fourth- street bridge. Arrangements will be made to have the late Sunday night Oakland ferry-boats bet- ter guarded by police officers to protect the passengers from the drunken rowdies that infest the boats at that time. The Del Norte came in from the north twenty-four hours late, the delay caused by high seas and strong winds. The_brig Tanner has arrived at Eureka from San Pedro, forty days on the passage, The British ship Pythonene came in yes- terday, eighty days, and the American bark Topgallant, seventy-nine days from Newecastle, Australia. The Pacific Mail steamship San Juan ar- rived last night, twenty days from Panama, with a light passenger list, Yesterday the ard of Harbor Com- missioners rejected all the bids for the con- struction of the upper portion of the pass- enger landm§ at the new ferry depot, as they were all higher than the engineer’s estimate. THE MUTINEERS OF THE ARAGO, They Will Have to >tand Trial—Habeas Corpus Proceedings Denied. The mutineers of the barkentine Arago will bave to stand trial. United States District Judge Morrow so held yesterday, when he denied the writ of habeas corpus sworn out by Attorney Hutton last week. The_five sailors were remanded into the custody of the United States Marshal, and they will now be indicted by the Grand Jury. (gent interest was taken in the matter. The Sailors’ Union, to which_the men be- long, was represented by its secretary, Andrew Furuseth. The Ship-ownesfs’ As- sociation had George W. Walthew, its sec- retary, present, and United States Ship- ping Commissioner Gwin was also in at- tendance. The lumber interests of the coast were represented by A. M. Simpson, while John Rosenfeld watched anxiously to see what the outcome might be as far as coal vessels are concernt When the 7 court intimated that the men had been lawfully arrested and put on board the barkentine at Astoria there was a sigh of relief from the merchants. A TALSE REPORT NAILED. Sports at a Much-Patronized Pleasure and Health Resort. The report has been circulated that the accommodations dt Bartlett Springs are in- adequate in size to comfortably house vis- itors. Though pretty wellon to a thousand people have been at this health and pleas- ure retreat this season at once, the number of new cottages added to the capacity of the big hotel, which holds several hundred peonle, while well filled have afforded sat- isfactory accommodations. It has come to pass that whenever amanof colossal brain wishes to give his intellect a complete and perfect rest he goes to Bartlett, Such men- tal mastodons as the Supreme Judges have been found at these springs tois season, not two or three, but four. All the giants of the mercantile world have infested this place, and quite a sprinkling of literary notables have been discovered taking items upon the various phases of life there rep- resented. There is nothing humdrum about Bartlett Springs any more. Things are not at all like they used to be. One can whirl a little to the measure of an or- chestra, or drive a while and view bold and beautiful scenery. If troubled with stomach, liver, kidney or rheumatic com- plaints, one may drink of the wonderful mineral springs, which every medical man of prominence in the country hasindorsed, and sit on the piazza of his cottage or under the shade of trees and enjoy the company of genial friends. Conversation 18 not a lost art at Bartlett, but one never hears discussions of sewerage, fortune- telling, babies’ races, folk-lore, heraldry, balls, hay fever and kindred topics. No, they discuss the silver question. In fact, there are many ways of amusing one's self at Bartlett. e State Railway Taxes. E. Black Rvan, the tax agent of the Southern Pacific Company, went to Sacramento last evening. He will appear before the State Board of Equalization to-day and make a state- ment upon the estimated value of the com- any’s system in California, based on its earn- ngs rather than its physical value. At this session the board does not sit as an equaliza~ tion body, but simply as an assessor to hear the railway’s side of the story. After the first Monday in August the board will take up the railways and their assessments. ————— Terrill’s Memory Honored.
