Grand Parade, Literary Exerclses, Dancing and Flreworks Pass the Hours. The last day of the celebration by the local Italian colony of the twenty-fifth an- niversary of the entry of Victor Em- manu night ’s troops into Rome went out last n a blaze of glory at Harbor View The crowning day of the fete began with a grand parade yesterday morning. A barbecue and picnic at Harbor View Park continued the celebration during the after- noon, and after the dancing, well along to- | ward midnight, the festivities ended with a grand pyrotechnic display. The parade formed during the early worning hours in the vicinity ul,(iunbu]di Consul Grimaldi on the platform. He sald: ‘We have met here to-dav for the purpose of celebrating the anniversary of the most impor- tant event since the downfall of the Roman Em’ntlrxe—!ha unity of Italy, with Rome as its capital. wenty--five vears ago, by the unanimous will of the Italian people, thanks to the great mind of Mazzini, to the always-victorious sword of Garibaldi, to the genius of the great diplomat of the age, Camillo Cavour, and to the unbounded patriotism of that honest king, Victor Immanuel, we did go to Rome. In Rome we are and in Rome we shall remain. We did not_take this step for the purpose of offending either the Pope or the Catholic re- ligion. 5‘\'9 went to Rome because we wanted & united Italy, and because Rome is its natural and eternal capital.

Italy has unques- tionably the most interesting history of the world. It has furnished more great men than any other nation on the face of the globe. In fact, you will remember that there was a time when the greatest honor & man could have was to be entitled tosay “I am a Roman citizen.” J. Calegaris, president of the day, de- Jivered the last address. After referring to the historical names of Italian patriots he said that the Italian government had to-day a duty which bhad not existed before the occupation of Rome, namely the de- fense of the Vatican. It would enforce re- spect for the church not only within its | own borders but throughout the world. The evening was .spent in music and | dancing and the celebration ended witha | THE MAYOR WILL VETO, Sutro Holds That the Tax Levy Measure Must BeSubmitted to Him. FOLLOWING LEGAL ADVICE. The Solid Elght Checkmated Agailn. The Courts Will Have to De~ cide the Point. ‘When the Board of Supervisors meets to-day it will listen to the reading of Mayor Sutro’s veto message condemning the tax levy. Despite the legal opinions which have held that the tax-levy measure does not need the signature of the Mayor to be- come a law, or need not have his approval, Mayor Sutro has decided upon his course, has prepared a message to the Supervisors condemning the levy and will certainly veto it. The course of the Mayor will at least throw the matter into the courts for final decision. Doubtless the Solid Eight will claim the validity of the resolution note THE ITALIAN CARABINIERI ESCORTING “ITALY AND HER HUNDRED CITIES” IN THE BIG PARADE, [Reproduced from a photograph by A. E.

The procession passed along Broadway, Montgomery avenue, Kearny, Market to Sixth, countermarching on Market to Montgomery street, to Montgomery ave- nue, to Stockton, to Filbert, to Washing- ton square, where it disbanded and the paraders started for Harbor View. The literary exercises of the day were beld in the big pavilion at the park. which had been profusely but tastefully dec- orated for the occasion. The Consul had prepared no formal ad- | dress, but his remarks were both fluent and acceptable to his auditors, and he was drequen interrupted with shouts of “Viva! Viva!” He expressed the pleasure which he as the official representative of the Italian crown felt in noting the enthu- siastic patriotism which moved the Italian | colony of San Francisco in celebrating this anniversary of one of the most important dates in Itahan history. The celebration was not intended as dis- respectful to any prelate or to any re- ligion. The occupation of Rome twenty- five vears ago had not been so intended but it was taken because it was the logical, natural and geographical center of the Italian country. The reported proposition to sell Rome to the Pope was the wildest fiction, for Italians were mindful of the sacrifices their armies had made to secure it, and would as soon take one of the colors from the flag as to forfeit their capital. resident of the Day Sbarboro followed >ythias, grand pyrotechnic display in which many | artistic set pieces fizured.

To commemorate the thirty-first anni- versary of his ministry the Rev. Dr. Horatio Stebbins, pastor of the First Unitarian Church, delivered an address to his congregation yesterday morning that | was rather more of a retrospective and historical lecture than an orthodox Uni- | tarian sermon. It was enjoyed none the | less for this fact, however, nor were the | moral lessons it bore any'the less appre- ciated by the exceptionally large audi- ence. 2 fter pointing to the mineral and agri- cultural development of California, Dr. Stebbins said : | 1think that a dispassionate judicial, historic | mind, if you please, will confess that the growth of California has been a disappoint- | ment. It bas not been as great as we expected ; certainly not as great as we hoped, Indeed, I think this may be said of the whole Western coast, though the causes are not the same as with us here.

S. Gov't Report Roval ABSOLUTELY PURE Baking Powder withstanding the Mayor's action, but it is also certain that the Mayor and bis friends will as stoutly hold that the tax levy pro- posed by the Solid Eight is illegal and in- yalid. Then the judiciary will be called upon to settle the dispute, and the Supreme Court itself will finally pass upon the mooted point. Mayor Sutro has recently been consuiting attorneys—some of the ablest and most noted counselorsin the City—and they give opinions which contradict that of Attorney Bergin, upon which the Solid ght rest. These attorneys hold that the last Legislature did not empower the Su- pervisors to fix the tax levy without the | assent of the Mayor, unless a sufficient number of votes could be secured to pass the measure over the Mayor’s veto. This, of course, cannot be done. Nine votes would be necessary to carry the tax- levy measure proposed by the Solid Eight over the Mayor's veto, so the Solid Eight must depend for the success of their stand- and-aeliver measure upon a legal techni- cality. Itisexceedingly doubtful, however, whether this technical issue will save them. 5 The friends of the Mayor are stout in their belief that it will not, and the Mayor himself is confident that the Supreme Court will ultimately uphold the position assumed by him. “Iam informed by very able lawyers,” said Mayor Sutro yesterday, ‘“‘that the Legislature did not take away the Mayor's veto power when it passed the tax-levy law. I bave confidence in the judgment of these gentlemen and, acting upon their advice, I have prepared a veto measure against the tax-levy resolution. This message will be presented at the meeting to-morrow. “From the legal advice that [ have re- ceived I do not believe that the measure can become a law without being referred to the Mayor. This is the ground I shall take in my message and I shall certainly stand by it until the very last. “My advice is that the measure would not be valid were it not passed upon by the Mayor. I domnot believe it ever will become valid unless its proponents can secure enough votes to pass it over the Mayor’s veto.'” Taxpayers who knew of the Mayor’s in« tended course yesterday and for the past few days, commend it highly and be- lieve that in the firmnessof the Mayor will rest their deliverance from the clutch of the Solid Eight. Doubtless the courts will be called upon to settle the question speedily, for until it is settled it is difficult to see how any tax rate can be definitely determined upon and the Tax Collector go ahead with his duties. Municipal departments, public institutions and individuals will alike suffer. MORMON PECULIARITIES. An Address by Elder H. S. Tanner on That Subject. Elder Henry 8. Tanner discoursed last evening in Friendship Hall, Pythian building, on “The Cause of the Peculiar- ities of Mormonism.” He said: To the world & large the doctrines advocated by the Mormons appear peculiar in their nature. In many instances we look for motes in the eyes of others when our sight is dimmed by the beams in our own eyes. Then it seems that nature has been perverted, end some peo- ple try to rise on the downfall of others, and appear Just and wise in the estimation of friends by making tyrannical raids against their fellow-man. Thousands of us younger Mormons have been taught the docirines peculiar to the church from our infancy, and perhaps have not given other denominations credit for what they have done. But we are essociating with the pongle and through ex- perience we know that others have good doc- trines, and will be rewarded according to the good or evil they do. While experience and association with others have broadened my conception, causing me to ook upon ihe world with greater charity, my testimony of Mormonism ha$ been strength- ened, and by tasting the opposite I have been made to see the beauties of the Gospel. On the other hand, the people of the world have one among the Latter-day,Saints and have found that we are not es our enemies have represented us, but that we are an honest, in- dustrious and law-abiding people, havin great love for our fellow-man. They lnvestg gate our doctrines and find them ‘identical with those advanced by the Savior in his plan of redemption, apd nnnn_lly enough they say, “Well, that is modern Mormonism,” not know- ing that they haye changed, and are viewing the Mormon people and their principles from a different standpoint. 1f I should stand on the west side of a valle: at sunrise the sun would dazzle my eyes and would see nothing but shade in the yalley, but when I transfer my location and look upon tne vnlle.{ as the sunlight of beaven is capable of revealing it unto me and feel the warmth radiated from the fields and hillsides, I feel thankful that nature has provided so well for man, So it has been with the majority of the world. They have viewed the Mormons in the night of opposition and have seen nothing but the shades of life. The sunlight dazzles their eyes. When they change their location and see us aswe are, and have the warmth of heaven cheer and light their souls as it does ours, they are thankful that God has spared and prepared a people as he has the Mormons in the midst of atrite and turmoil. Though not knowing our desires, not under- standing the doctrines we teach and not seeing our good works, many have {ud%ed us Wrong- fully. We pray that the spirit of investigation may permeate the souls of all men, and that they may see us and judge usas we are, We only desire our just dues. SCORES AT SHELL MOUND, Mrs. L. J. Crane Breaks the Record of Lady Sharp- shooters. Battery E Wins the Wleland-Man~ gles Trophy Only by Seven Points. Riflemen flocked to the Shell Mound shooting range by the dozens yesterday, ax there were several events in that line of sport that were attractive. Allof the at- mospberic conditions were favorable for good scores, and several records were broken. The score of 99 out of a possible 100 points, made by Mrs. L. J. Crane of the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club, has never been equaled ‘on the coast by a woman. A. Mocker also broke the record of the oints in is 452, range on a score of 450 out of 500 twenty shots.

A Preliminary Survey Was Made Last Year by Army Engineer Mendell. Congressman E. F. Loud, in reply to the question, “Has anything been done by Congress toward removing the rocks dan- gerous to navigation in the barbor of San Francisco?” said Jast night: “I have _noticed some statements to the effect that Congress had done nothing in the matter. I have taken occasion to look up the offi- cial report of Colonel G. H. Mendell of the corps of engineers bearing on the subject. “In relation io Professor Davidson's charge that Congress had been vainly flooded with petitions for years for re- moval of rocks from the harbor, I desire to say that my attention was first cailed to the matter by Mr. Stetson of the North Pacific Coast Railroad, who wished to in- terest me in beLalf of the removal of Shag and Arch rocks, lying westerly off Alca- traz Island and in'the direct line of ferry- boats plying to Sausalito. ““I suggested to Mr. Stetson, in order to give the matter more force, that some of our commercial bodies take some official n in the shape of resolntions to im- prove our harbor in order thatI might have some backing from some official body. Mr.'Stetson called the attention of the Chamber of Commerce to the matter, and such resolution was forwarded to me during the Fifty-third Congress. “I immediately had inserted in the river and harbor biil a provision for the prelim- inary examination, which is the step first required by law to be taken. Blossom rock was removed to the depth of twenty-four feet several years ago. “I will say that I have found Congress quite willing and ready to make any needed improvements that might be asked for in the harbor of San Francisco. The only trouble has been in the modesty of our commercial bodies in asking for its improvements. “In the report of Colonel Mendell the following rocks, owing to their distance from the main channel or to the danger- ous condition of their adjacent beds, were found not worth of re moval: Rocks lying within a radius of 400 feet from Fort Point, the Mile Rocks near Point Benita and the Arch Rock, which, by its conspicuous- ness, places it out of the class of dangerous ob- structions. “The rocks found to be a menace to com- mere were: The Noonday Rocks lying near together about twenty miles off the coast in the open sea, three miles from the Farallones group; Blossom Rock, situated near the path of ves- sels coming from Port Costa; the two Mission Rocks near the city water front, marked with buoys; Shag :Rock in the path of ferry boats to and from Sausalito; Anita Rock, situated in a bight of the Presidio shore line, about 300 yards from the shore, and the rocks known as “The Brothers,” lying near Point San Pablo. “The three steps necessary to effect har- bor improvements are: First, to make ap- plication for a preliminary examination; second, to have an army engineer estimate the cost of the undertaking and judge whether the improvements are necessary; and, third, to apply to Congress for an appropriation of money to defray the cost oF improvements. The first and second steps have been taken.” MODERN WOUDMEN ITES Monument Unveiling Exer- cises at Cypress Lawn Cemetery. A Large Attendance of Members Participate — Unique and Beautiful Memorial. The members of the local societies of the Modern Woodmen of the World met at Cypress Lawn Cemetery yesterday at 2 o'clock P. M., and unveiled two monuments erected by the society to commemorate the lives of two of their recently deceased members. The officers of Golden Gate Camp No. 64 having charge of the ritualistic work of the order were as follows: Coun- selor Commander J. L. Geary, Past Coun- selor Commander and Master of Cere- monies M. H. Wilkens, C. H. Naylor, H. G. Watrous, P. Gilroy, A.C. Vincent, H. P. Wynn and Captain J. T. Farrell. The oflicials joining in the exercises from Redwood Camp No. 91 were Counselor Commander C. W. Westcott, Past Coun- selor Commander and Master of * Cere- monies* H. C. Wellman, P. Struck, F. H. Hutton, H. G.Smith, J. Tayior, Z. Whit- There were about 500 members of the order present. V. C. Currier recited Mr. Lincoln’s favorite poem in a very touching manner, commencing with the well-known words: Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud? The choir sang a number of appropriate hymns interspersed through the beautiful ritualistic work of the order. The principal monument, erected to the memory of John F. Grant of Redwood Camp No. 91, was unique in design and marvel- ously beautiful in execution. It was wrought in the design of a stump of an oak tree, with the bark showing asin nature,the upper portion bearing the effect of the ax in felling the tree. About it an ivy vine was carved with fern leaves at its base—a beautiful specimen of the engraver’s art. Charles W. Kyle delivered the oration at the unveiling of the monument. Inpart he said: These monumenis of stone which we here unveil will shortly crumble into dust and mark no more these graves, but the beautiful gentiment and principle of which they are a material expression will live as long as the Land of pain and death shall knock at the door of the human heart, pleading for aid and sym- athy. 5 Th?s lovely land of golden sun and gerpclunl bloom, from which we look upon the stately ships which presently are lost o view on von vast expanse of sea, typifies, in a striking sense, lge voyage to the shore of the other life. Sweet Hope! How fair her form: how bright her smile in the light of which we catch the gleam of snowy sails which carry the weary traveler to a shore where hope ‘and faith can join to render sweet a life, Where the wicked cease from troubling, And the weary are at rest. AN Erecrric Frac.—An electrical nov- elty has been placed on the German imperial yacht Hohenzollern in the sha of a standard intended for night use. The flag is four meters square, and the design is traced in colored electric lamps, which are lighted by a wire from the deck. The experimental illumina- tion proved so successful that a wide extension of the idea may be looked for in the future night illumination of ships. .
