The Fabian Club Unanimously Indorses the Movement, Another organization has declared itself in favor of municipal ownership. At a meeting.of the Fabian Club, held at 513 Van Ness avenue Wednesday evening, the uestion of indorsing the petition of the Tnion for Practical Progress was brought up and- resulted in a unanimous vote in favor of the proposition. The statement was made that in the United States out of the twenty-eight cities of over 100,000 pop- ulation - fwenty-three own and conduct their own water works, showing the rapid drift of public opinion toward the munici- pal ownérship of public utilities. ——————————— Cruelty to a Child. Martin Mullane, a sailor, and his wife, living at 733 Folsom street, were arrested yesterday for cruelty to a minor child. The arrests were made by Sargeant Christiansen, and when he entered the house Mullane and his wife were both fighting drunk and their seven-month- 0ld boy was iving on the bed naked. It was in a staryed condition and was taken to the Re- celving Hospital, The City of Peking* Arrived From China and Was Quarantined. CABIN PASSENGERS RELEASED. Captalns and Boarding-Masters at War Over Wages to Be Pald Sallors. The sailinggof the Oriental and Occi- | dental Company’s steamer Gaelic attracted an enormous scrowd to the Mail dock | vesterday. There were forty cabin pas- sengers, among whom were many mis- sionaries, and these all had a host of friends down to see them off. There were also 33 from Havana in the steerage. A praise service was held in the cabin just before the steamer sailed, and the last hymn sung was, “God be with you till we meet again.”’ The passenger list was as follows: Yokohama— Elizabeth Babbitt, Rev. Leigh Layman, Mrs. Layman, Rev. J. B. Rich- ardson, Mrs. Richardson, D. Soutar, F.J. Hor- nimann, Ho Tung and family, George B. Swayne, Miss Louise Imhoff and servant, Mrs. James Jones and infant, Charles Rayner, Miss Emma Silver, C. Harrison, Mrs. C. Harrison, | Mrs. S, B, Morgan, C. K. Harrington, Miss Jessic P. Bhind, Wilfred Webb, Mrs. L L. Smith, B. F. Brown, Mrs Brown, A. C. Williams, Ho- barth W. Williams, W. T. Hamilton, Mrs. Ham- flton, Miss L. E. Hamilton, L. H. Chick, Mrs. Chick, Oscar_Rowe, )l(e\n George E. Partch, Mr. George E. Parich. i {h\xlgknfig——-R. Billington, D. N. Longden, Ralph Slater, George Eckley and Mrs. George Eckley ‘ There were twenty-three detained Chi- | nese on the Gaelicon whose cases Collector | Wise had not passed. ! | of the Custom-house officials to transfer | them to the Gity of Peking, but as that It wasthe intention vessel was in quarantine, and there was not another steamer at the dock the com- pany was in a quandary. The tug Millen Griffeths was at the quarantine station, in attendance upon the City of Peking, and | that added to the difficult uty Survevor Ruddell was appealed to and he had the Chinese aud their baggage transferred to the customs launch. l"I‘hi: operation could not be seen by the friends of the detained Mongolians, and when the Gaelic began to back away from the dock with, as they supposed, their iriends on board they raised a howl that could be heard blocks away. The Government launch, however, carried them to Angel Island and placed them on the City of Peking. The latter vessel arrived from Hong- kong via Yokohama yesterday morning. Cholera was epidemic both in’ China and Japan, and that was suflicient to have the vessel placed in quarantine, even though there was no sickness aboard and twenty days had elapsed since the last port was touched. In Yokohama thedread scourge was within the city limits, and while the worst was feared, hopes were entertained that the disease would disappear when winter set in. There were only five cabin assengers on the Peking, and after their Enggage had been fumigated they were landed. The steamer will be thoroughly fumigated to-day and then taken to the ock. The barkentine Archer, which arrived from Honolulu a week ago and was placed in quarantine,was released yesterday. She lm(f a number of passengers, but the bill of health signed by the United States Con- sul showed that they had all been fumi- gated before going aboard. Her cargo is composed of sugar and some merchandise nally Dep- | that was taken down on the Australian steamer and transhipped to the Archer. The Seamen’s Union of the Pacific and the Ship-owners’ Association are still at outs—not to a very marked extent, but nevertheless an armed neutrality exists. The coast seamen will not make a move until the ship-owners attemipt to sign men at the reduced wages, and the ship-owners cannot make a move because there are no vessels requiring crews. A few days will see the two concerns measuring strength again, however. While an armed neutrality exists be- tween the Ship-owners' Association and the union, there is open warfare between the masters of deep-water ships and the boarding-masters. The captains want men at $15 or $16 a month and the boarding- masters will not ship them for less than | $20. The American ship May Flint wants twenty able seamen and two boats- wains, but Captain Nickels cannot procure aman. The Sailors’ Home will not sup- ply him and he does not know where to turn. As the ship has a bad name among the sailors owing to charges of cruelty made against the officers during the last voyage there will be some difficulty in fill- ing her except at the full rate. Mrs. May lint, after whom the ship is named, is the chairman of the Ladies’ Seamen’s Friend Society in New York. The ship Conqueror was in the same light as the May Flint. None of the anrding masters would supply her with men, and acting under his specific orders United States Commissioner Gavin went out and tried to secure a crew for her. He also failed, and then the skipper paid $20 a month and;got his men. will sail to-day. The Benjamin Sewell, which made such a long passage from New York and had to gut into Tome, Chile, for repairs, had no ifficulty in _securing a crew for a voyage to Shanghai via Puget Sound. Captain Sewell is a good man to work for and pays full rates, so the men are only too glad to work for him. At the meeting of the Harbor Commis- sioners, held yesterday, the captain of the bark Klikitat presented a bill for $100 dam- ages. This was a great surprise to the members of the board, but when an inves- tigation was held it was shown that the cn{)tain had some justice on his side. 'he Klikitat was at Little Fremont street and the British ship Crofton Hall lay in such a position at the dock that she could not get out. Chief Wharfinger Boo- bar ordered the Crofton Hall to move uE twenty-fiye feet in order to allow the barl to get out, but Captain Parker would not obey, and the Klikitat was detained two days. The chief wharfinger was instructed to arrest the captain of the British ship. He is subject to a fine of $100 for refusing to obey the order of Chief Boobar, and i he does not pay he can be sent to jail for 100 days. The managers of the Pacific Rolling- ills want the Harbor Commissioners to use 15-inch beams in the new ferry build- ing instead of 20-inch ones as proposed by Architects George Percy and A. Page Brown. By this chunge a saving of $15,000 would be effected. and the beams could be made in California instead of having to send East for them. The matter was very fully discussed by the board and was finally taken under advisement. THE FEAST OF SUCCOTH. An Im portant Event in the Hebrew Cal- endar to Be Celebrated This Evening. The Hebrew festival of Succoth will commence at sunset this evening. It will be celebrated with services in all the syna- gogues and among the orthodox with home céremonies. The meaning of the name Succoth is “booth” or tent. Itis essentially a har- vest festival and derives its name from the fact that while the ancient Hebrews were wanderers in ines consisted of booths or tents. At the time of their coming to the promised The Conqueror Canaan they were enjoined to commemor- ate their period of wandering by a festival at the time of the ingathering of the bar- vest. The ceremonies used in connection with the festival are notably curious. The or- 6 Chinese from San Francisco and | the desert their sole dwell- thodox Jew bears to the synagogue a palm branch trimmed with green shrubs, called Lulov, and a citron, called the Esroi. These he agitates while chanting the Hal- lel, or psalms of praise. Sermons will gé delivered in all the synagogues to-morrow morning, by Rabbi Jacob Voorsanger at the Temple Emanu- El, Rabbi Jacob Nieto at the Congregation Sherith Israel, Rabbi M. 8. Levy at the Temple Beth Israel and by Rabbi Julius Fryer at the Synagogue Ohabai Shalome, The festival will last eight days, only the first two and last two being observed among _the orthodox. The - Temple Emanu-El being a reform synagogue will only observe the first and eighth days of the festival. ———————— THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW. The United States Statutes Regulate Hours of Labor. Several days ago members of the labor unions complained to Lahor Commissioner Fitzgerald that the laborers at work on the new barracks at the Presidio are compelled | to labor between nine and ten hours a day. | The Commissioner answered that he had no jurisdiction over military affairs, but that he would inquire of United States Attorney H. S. Footeas to the law govern- ing work on Government reservations. He did so and yesterday he received the fol- lowing answer to his inqui E. L. Fitzgerald, Labor Commissioner—Reply- | ing to yvur letter of the 26th inst. I have to in- form you that there is a Federal law governing the hours of labor upon Gov ment work, an that law is found in section 3738, United States Revised Statutes, which provides that eight hours shall constitute a day’s work for all Government laborers. Your letter has been referred to the commandant of the Presidio for information upon the subject referred to. H. §. FOOTE, United States Attorney. HAME HOT T0 BE CHANGED Protestant Episcopal, a Term Local Clergy Think Will Survive. Probabllity of Division of California by the Minneapolis Convention. The local Episcopalian clergy look with surprise upon the possibility of the name | of the church being changed at the general | triennial conveution that begins a month’s session this morning at Minneapolis. The subject has not even been discussed in this diocese, for it was definitely settled nine years ago, when the general conven- tion met in Chicago. Since then the mat- ter has been little heard of, and the recent intimation from Minneapolis that it might be brought up at this general convention is looked upon here as an assertion deserv- ing little attention, in view of the general belief that a proposition at this late day for a change of name would certainly be doomed. The Rev. R.C. Foute, pastor of Grace Church, was elected as one of the four clerical delegates from the California dio- cese, but was unable to go. Four lay dele- gates alse were elected. Two of them went. So, while each diocese has but one vote in convention, this diocese will have three clerical and two lay delegates in attend- ance upon the sessions. In speaking of the suggestion of a change of name the Rev. R.C. Foute said last night: *“That matter was buried beyond the possibility of resurrection nine years ago 1n Chicago and_the whole subject was | fully disposed of. Prior to that time there | had been a good deal of discussion on the | subject and the names suggested to take | the place of Protestant Eniscopal were | various. Some favored the name Ameri- ! can church, some Catholic church, some Church in America, and so on. I was vresent at that convention and there was much feeling over the matter. But I do { pot think it will be considered again. The | name is too old and too full of associa- 21k that the division of this diocese by the general convention is a foregone conclusion; I do not think there is any doubt of its going through. Nine years ago I opposed it simply at Bishop Kip’s request, but I have all along been in fuvor of the division. “The California diocese is in all respects amply strong to make two. In all the ter- ritory south of San Luis Obispo County and forming the proposed new diocese there are nearly 4000 communicants of the Epis- copal church, and that is larger than many of the existing dioceses. “Probably the question of the division of the Caiifornia diocese will be decided about the middle of next week, when the division of Kentucky and of Maryland may also be settled. Washington City may be erected as a diocese apart from Maryland. “Six years agoa division of the diocese was attempted at the convention held in New York, but the proposition was killed in the house of Bishops after passing the lower house or house of deputies, which | consists of the clerical and iay delegates. At that time the Bishops expressed them- | selves as not satistied wijh the financial | standing of the proposed diocese, not thinking thatits prospects warranted its as- suming the additional expenses necessary in maintaining a Bishop. “In the event of the general conven- tion’s establishing this new diocese, the next thing in order would be a convention of the clergy and the lay delegates within its territory, each parish or mission being entitled to one vote in addition to the cler- gyman’s vote. Such a convention wouid called 'and rreaided over by Bishop ichols. It could not occur much before the end of November. “The first thing would be_the selection of a name for the diocese. I should very much regret to see it called the Southern California Diocese; I should like to see it called the Los Angeles Diocese, after the old custom of naming the diocese for the see city. ‘“After the choice of a name would come the adoption of a constitution and canons for government; and finally the election of a Bishop. It is not usual for a Bishop to be elected from the clergy of the diocese over which he is to preside, and I don’t think it at all probable that the new Bishop will be chosen from the new diocese.”” Our Society Blue-Book Now in Compi- lation—Season 1895-96.

Three Chinese convicts were deported by the Gaelic yesterday under the law which pro- hibits the residence of such persons in the United States. They were Mah Shue, Jong Fook Sing and Leé Yee, all having served terms in penal institutions for felonies com- mitted in this country.

United States Marshal Barry Baldwin has re- cently withdrawn from the firm of Girvin, Baldwin & Eyre. “The most amicable terms have always existed between the firm and my- self,” said Mr. Baldwin last night. “My with- drawal has been contemplated for the past month, although it was made public only a day or so ago. My duties as United States Marshal occupy all my time, and it was for this reason that I was obliged to withdraw from the YOUNG REPUBLICAN CLUB It Is Organized for Both Social and Political Pur= poses. AMBITION OF ITS MEMBERS. Anxious to Promulgate Thelr Party’s Principles and to Elect Good Men. The Young Men’s Republican and Social Clubis an organization, as its name im- plies, formed of young men who desire to forward the principles of the Republican party. The work of organization has been going on for some months, meetings of the leading spirits being held at 2028 Golden Gate avenue. Frank K. Spencer, the president of the organization, last evening gave an outline of the aims and ebjects of the club. He said: ‘The organization of this club is the result of the experience of a number of young men in the political work of the last campaign: We then found ourselves absolutely. without standing in the party, and I am sorry to say were given but littlée encouragement by many of the so-called leaders; in- other words, we were ignored, not 10 say snubbed. We were not offended at this treatment, but recognized it as the result of lack of organization on our partand of having failed in the past to do objection to the bond, as the time remain- ing in which to present the case to the Su- reme Court is very. short. The bond is or $520,000. . THE COIGAR-MAKERS' UNION. Revising the By-Laws—National Organ- izer Henry Krellow Coming. Henry Krellow, the national organizer of the Cigar-makers’ National Union, will arrive in this City within a few days. Upon his arrival the cigar-makers of this City will make a renewed agitation against the cheap tenement-house:cigars that are made in the large cities in the East. Those who have seen how this ¢lass of cigars are made amid squalor and disease state that the product is even worse than those made in the Chinese factories on this coast, and yet thousands are sold under the name of white-labor cigars. The tene- ment-house cigars are sold even cheaper than Chinese-made cigars. ‘As soon as_he arrives Mr. Krellow will address the Cigar-makers’ Union No. 228, on Jessie street, near Fifth. This union is at present revising its by-laws for the pur- pose of enlarging the functions of the officers. Heretofore one or two members have been attending to all of the clerical and financial business. As soon as the by-laws are approved ap election will be held for a financial_ secretary, recording secretary, corresponding secretary and a treasurer. T, e A OYCLERY' PROTECTIVE UNION. It Will Try to Stop the Stealing .of Bicycles. The Cyclers’ Protective Union has filed articles of incorporation with the County Clerk.

His Efforts Toward Bullding Up the City and State—Funeral Arrangements. Ira P. Rankin, one of California’s oldest and most respected citizens, died yester- day morning at 1020 Washington street, the residence of friends. He was taken ill with pneumonia on Saturday evening and from the first it was apparent to his at- tendant physician that he had a hard tus- sle with death before him, with little chance of victory. Mr. Rankin came to this city 1854 and on his arrival he engaged in the shipping and commission business under the firm name of Rankin & Co. He was quite suc- cessful in his enterprise and four years later he purchased an interest in the Pa- cific Foundry. He attracted much public notice from his prominence in all matters pertaining to the public welfare. Both he and his wife were active in church and charitable affairs. His wife, who died in 1881, was the sister of Alcalde Bryant,au- thor of ‘“What I Saw in California.” [From a photograph.] S0ARD OF DIRECTORS, YOUNG MEN’S REPUBLICAN CLUB. sufficlent work of an effective nature to com- | mand the attention of our elders. We have determined that this state of affairs shall no | longer exist. We have now inthe eighteen As- | sembly districts a membership of over 700 and | the work has but just begun.

We are banded together on the broad basis of Republicanism,with no other object in view than to labor for the success of the prin- ciples of that party. We are entirely free from | any and all factional questions, and above all | from distinetions of a religious nature. The government of the club has been pro- vided for, aside from the usual officers of such | organizations, by the selection of a board of eleven directors, We are not only active, but I trust practical in our work, and for this purpose have pro- vided ample Safeguards against the possibility of our organization being brought under the thumbof any political boss. We are deter- mined to conduct our own affairs and on the broad principle of fairness,to the end that | whatever influence we may have shall be given for the purpose of placing only good men in oftice. i We shall employ the time between now and | the next campaign in an endeavor to gain | knowledge which shall be practicable in eam- paign work.

Mr. Baggett and Mr. Bishop Nearly Come From Words to Blows In the Face. The appeal bond in the Hale ana Nor- cross case has been justified and accepted by the County Clerk and over the accept- anceof it there was the beginmug of what might have been a very pretty fight be- tween Baggett and Bishop, the opposing attorneys. The sureties on the bond are Walter 8. Hobart and C. D. Lane. To both of these Baggett objected, to Hobart because his attachable property conaists of shares of stock in the Hobart Estdte Company, and to Lane because he did not consider his third interest in the Utica mine sufficient property for a surety on the big bond. Bageett claimed that the shares-of stock which Hobart holds in the estate company can be easily transferred without any evi- dence of the fact appearing, and for’ that reason he thought him an unsuitable man onthe bond. In the case of Lane he ob- jected to the sufficiency of the surety, and it was over this question that the row grew. Baggett was examining Lane as to the income he derives from- his interest in the Utica_mine, and to many of these ques- tions Bishos objected, on'the ground that Baggett had no right to go into the private affairs of hisclient. One word brought on another, until finally both imen rose and prepared to fight it out with something more substantial than mere words. They were separated, however, and the exami- nation resumed its erratic way until the County Clerk declared he head heard enough and that he considered the sure- ties sufficient. Baggett says he will not make any more . l bicycle thieves, for the recovery of lost and stolen bicycles, and to do all things necessary and proper in the conduct of the business of general detectives for the apprehension and punishment of bicyecle thieves and for the recovery of lost and stolen bicycles.” The directors are George L. Dillman, Clarence M. Smith and George W. Prescott of Alameda and M. Johnson and J. B, Thomas of San Francisco. The ca; stock is $25,000, all of which is subsc THE CALIFORNIA BANQUET One Hundred Society Women Will Receive the Guests at the Feast. Quotations From State Orators Will Enliven the Menu—A Great Arbor. Preparations for the California banquet are progressing to the entire satisfaction of the energetic promoter of the same, Mrs. Margaret Touchard. A hundred invitations to ladies promi- nent in local society to assist in receiving the guests have been accepted, and on Fri- day at 3 p. M. there will be a meeting at the California Club of those who have signified such intention. At that time details of the banquet will be thoroughly discussed. There was a conference of one of the committees yesterday afternoon, when there was an animated discussion of the menu and decorations. The bauquet-hall of the California Hotel will be so decor- ated as to represent a large arbor. Santa Clara and Napa Valley fruit-growers will send grape vines heavy with the purple fruit to carry out the realistic effect. From the same regions will be sent hop vines and sheaves of wheat, to add to the illusion that thisis a veritable feast to the Ceres of the Californians. 3 The menus will be in white and gold, and will be lettered with some of the ‘pun- gent savings of ‘the orators and business men of the State. They will be decorated with scenes from California’s panorama of natural beauty. “I have been more successful in con- vineing business men outside the City than here that this i not an enterprise for private gain,” said Mrs. Touchard. “If there is any deficit I am responsible for it. The_ California. Training School for Cook- ery is to be a State institution, and its pur- pose is to train housewives and servants, not only to cook well, but to understand the culinary treatment of the products of the State. San Francisco business men will be all right when they finally under- stand this.” % She said there had been liberal dona- tions of brandies and wines for the ban- quet. For a week after the banquet the tables and products displayed at that time wili be on exhibition at :the California Club rooms; 131 Post street. At that time teachers of cookery will demonstrate methods of preparing new foods for in- valids. Physicians have been invited to be present. 8. Touchard has become much inter- ested in the varied products of Berkeley and will confer with Professor Hilgard shortly in regard to an appropriate repre- sentation at the banquet. e e e A Hotel Scene. There was quite a scene in the office of the Baldwin Hotel last evening which caused a large throng of people to assemble on Powell street nmear the hotel entrance. It seems that the new management required the use of a room which one 6f the guests had been occu- pying for the past three months. This guest, accompanied by her! maid, went to the hotel office and wuode her presence in the building known to the new mansugers, the new clerks and the resident population of the neighbor- hood. People on the way 1o the Baldwin Thea- ter paused to listen io ‘he scene, and soon the thoroughfare was Yocked. The hotel “bouncer” called+in a police officer, who suc- ceeded in suppressing the evicled guest. In 1856 Ira P. Rankin was prominent in forming the Vigilance Committee, over whose deliberations he at one time pre- sided. The young Republican party nom- inated him for Congress, but though he received a large vote he was not elected. In 1861 he was the first Republican Col- lector of the Port. Some years later he again ran for Congress on the Independent ticket. During his canvass of the State he was everywhere greeted with marks of re- spect. The deceased wasa member of various charity, commercial and religious organi- zations, as was set forth in yesterday’s €CaLL.

THE SUTRO ELECTRIC LINE. It Will Be in Operation This Month. Transfers to the Sutter-Street COars. There is quite an army of men in the employ of the Sutro Electric Railway. working from the terminus at Central avenne to the one adjoining the Sutro Baths, near’ the Cliff House, and it is ex- pected that before many days people will have the pleasure of riding over the new ‘road, which will be the third to the ocean ‘beach. ” “Work is being pushed on the Sutro Electric line,” said Superintendent E. M. Van Frank yesterday, “and the road will be in operation this month, possibly during the first nalf, but the date has not been definitely fixed. “The engine and boilers in the power-house are in position and the generators are now heinip\n in.. Men are now engaged in_string- ing the overhead wires and all the rails have been laid. : “The cars will be of two kinds—single and double trucks of the most approved pattern. They are ready to be placed on the tracks the moment we are ready 1o operate them. “Now, as to fenders. We have not experi- mented with any of the many offered, for the reason that we have no road to operate them, but we have watched experiments that have been made and have studica all thatare know up to this time. The Supervisors, you under- stand, have the matter in haud and they will decide what fender will have to be used. When the ordinance is passed the Sutro Company will comply with the law. “Transfers with the California-street line?” repeated the superintendent. “Weli, no; there is no'such arrangement. The Sutro Compauy has an arrangement with the Sutter-street line to transfer passengers to and from the ferry— that is the only arrangement at this time,” FUGAZI ON THE GRILL. Rate Cutting That May Likely Lead Soon to Donations of Ocean Voyages. Agent Fugazi of the French line of At- lantic steamers has been summoned to ap- pear before the local Railway. Ticket Agents’ Association. The trouble is that four tickets were soid recently in the Fugazi office to four people who wished to go to Paris. They were routed over the Central Pac Union Pa- cific, Rock Island and Nickel-plate rai ways to New York, They were sold four second-class railroad tickets and four steer- age steamship tickets. The four tickets were sold—so Secretary Smith, who has the evidence in the case, says—at just §42 less than they should have been. In other words, $10 50 was. sliced ‘from the cost of each ticket. This was Fugazi’s crime, a¢ cording to Smith. According to Fugazi, that $1050 was dropped from the price of the steamshi; ticket and was thereforé a matter whic! concerned only himself and the steamship company. “The steérage price: from New York to Havre was §2260. ' Fugazi's ox- planation meant that the cocean voyage was to cost the prospective traveler only $12 10 each. As he gets his railway tickets from Agent Clint Jones of the Rock: Island Toad; there is a tendency to hold Jones responsible in case Fugazi can_prove: an- alibi or some- thing better. The understanding is that the four tickets were: sold ‘to ‘‘spotters” who were in Secretary Smith’s service: — e A Business Swindle. A.
