WILLIAM H. MORELAND, EDGAR J. Lio FraNk H. CHURCH, Commuttee ¢ the Clericus, Rapid Handling Test of Three Pneumatic Dynamite Guns. | Projectiles to Be Fired To-Day—Annual Inspection in Progress at the Presidio. | | The three long-barreled dynamite-throw | ing sentinels of the Golden Gate were offi- cially tested yesterday as to rapidity of movement and adjustment by means of compressed air, which is also the power used for the dangerous projectiles to be sent far out into the ocean from the muz- zles of these 15-inch pneumatic torpedo guns. At a distance the new guns, with their unusually long barrels directed upward at an angle of over 30 degrees, look like the | old-fashioned fowling pieces on exhibition | in museums, but on closer inspection the | great cannon, balanced and nicely adjusted {in big circular pits formed of solid con- crete, present every appearance of belong- ing to a modern age of mammoth destruc- | tive machines for long-range warfare. They look grim and imposing on their | | commanding site high above the water {and a balf mile back from Fort Point; | and yesterday’s | how readily they so as to command the ocean approaches to | the harbor and the bay itsell. A man standing on the gun mount has only to touch a little lever to direct the movements | of the fifty-foot steel barrel and the com- these they are a long way toward the ac- complishment of their ends. It is true members will refuse todoa wrong just before the Presidential The political campaign will not er heat until early in the summer, and the lobby will try to rush a bill throngh Congress at the earliest moment. ~What can we do to defeat it? n do a great deal if we act - and raise a small fund to defray ing expenses and those of agents t to Washington. I have twice helped to defeat the fund- r bill by prompt and energetic action, nd we can do so again possibly if you all E All the people are with us, and if we act in concert we may win our liberties, our fortunes and our honor from the future rapacities of the octopus. “I have learned from private informa- buttonholing for the session i ing to convince zislators that Eastern bondholders in favor of the funding bill, and unless watch carefully we shall see a bill giving the railroad 100 years at ent to pay its debts. We shoutd hold a mass-meeting to give people a chance to express their opinions on the subject, and I can think of no better place or time than Metropolitan Temple on Saturday evening.” s sugygestion seemed to strike those present favorably and was adopted. Many other ideas were advanced to make the meeting one that would give the entire country a full knowledge of the feelings of San Franciscans on the subject of the rail- road debt. John M. Reynolds'said that the Mayors of ail the prominent cities in the State should be sent invitations to be present, and that Mayor-elect Hubbard of Sac mento, who is believed to be anti-railroad, should be given a special invitation. George K. Fitch said that a mass-meeting was the proper measure to give the peopie an opportunity to vent their feelings. I thought that a ringing call should be issued and the matter should be given the utmost publicity. Mayor Sutro again took the floor. “There 1s a growing movement through- out the country to limit the power of r- porations,” he said, “and to restrict the corrupt metheds by which their ends are often gained. Political influence has much to do with the latitude given them and I believe that in 1900 we will have a President who will belong to neither of the great political parties as they now stand.” The opinion was expressed by several that politics should not be allowed to enter into the movement under contemplation and it was finally decided that at the mass- meeting no speaker should be allowed to address the audience on any subject other than the funding bill. John M. Reynolds was elected secretary of the meeting and the following commit- tees were appointed: On arrangements—John M. Reynolds, George T. Gaden and i.J. Truman. On speakers—George K. Fitch, John M. Rey- nolds end George T. Gaden. Henry E. Highton spoke of the diver- sions that bad always arisen to defeata movement of this kind, and hoped that in the present instance care would be taken to keep out disturbing elements. “‘A great mistake was made,” he said, by the officials charged with the duty of forcing the manipulators of the railroad to pay the Government its just dues. In- siead of bringing a suit against the Stan- ford estate all of those who have fattened and grown rich out of the railroads should have been made codefendants in a suit in equity. “All should have been brought together before the highest tribunal in the land and compelled to repay the money they have stolen as trustees of the creditors of the railroad, one of whom is the Government of the United States. Such an action would have made a funding bill out of the question.” Mayor Sutro was startled at the sug- gestion, aud asked why such an action should not still be taken. 5 “Too many diversions,”’ said Mr. High- ton, tersely. George W. Monteith characterized the action of United States Attorney Foote in the case of the railroad against the Rail- road Commission as “scandalous and dis- graceful and solely in the interest of the corporation.”’ The meeting closed with a scathing denunciation of the railroad company from the lips of the Meyor, who said that we the at a powerful railroad lobby is now | e | pressed air, communicated through under- | ground pipes from the engine-house 100 feet to the rear, acts noiselessly upon the | well-ad justed mechanism, and the muzzle | swings slowly through a great circle as it | sweeps around over the hiiltop. The tests showed that a complete revolu- tion can be made in one minute and twenty-three seconds, and that the barrel can be tilted from the horizontal to its greatest angle of 37 degrees in eleyen seconds. But when compressed air was dispensed with and hand cranks adjusted | nine men working with might and main | and consiantly relieved by relays, got the | mass of steel throu:h a revolution in | eleven minutes and twelve seconds. The | | lowering and raising of the muzzle was | | accomplished by man-power in forty-nine | and forty-four seconds respectively. No projectiles were fired yesterday. | They will be fired at to-day’s test, begin- ning about 11 o'clock and continuing { through the early part of the afternoon. | Forty-eight rounds of simple blasts of | air were fired in one hour yesterday from | the three guns, using them alternately, | | and that was the maximum requirement | for speed. Then twenty rounds were fired as rapidiy as possible ana it took just | eight and a half minutes. B. C. Batcheller, representing the Pneu- { matic Torpedo Copstruction Company, is in charge of the guns during the tests. The examining board consists of Lieuten- ant-Colonel Babbit of the Benicia Arsenal, Major Heuer of the engineers, and Lieu- | tenant Lassak of the Benicia Arsenal. | The projectiles to be fired to-day will be | dummies. | Annual inspection is in progress at the | Presidio. Yesterday morning Inspector- | General G. H. Burton made an inspection of the barracks, inciuding one of the new brick buildings, only recently occupied by two batteries. In the afternoon light batteries D and F were out on the parade grounds in heavy marching order for review by the inspec- tor and they were put through various | movements as a battalion and then as in- dividual barterie: Tnere was a terrific | rattle of the heavy wheeled gun carriages as they whirled and formed in accurate line with the four-horse teams on the run and the men sitting bolt upright and hold- ing tenaciously on to the springless affairs. To-morrow morning at 10 o’clock there will be a concert at the Presidio and in the afternoon at 2:30 o’clock the cavalry will turn out for inspection and to be put | through all the spectacular manenvers to which Uncle Sam'’s troopers are trained. QUESTION OF RENT. H. J. Smith Arrested on the Charge of Embezzlement. Mrs. H. J. Smith, keeper of a lodging- house at 1031 Market street, was arrested yesterday on a warrant charging her with felony embezzlement. The complaining witness is Alfred Ashley, 217 Pine street. He alleges in his complaint_that on Sep- tember 21 he gave Mrs. Smith §80 to pay the rent of the house on Market street for one month on condition that the lease was | made out in his name and that she should hand over to him the rents collected from the roomers. Instead she got the lease in her own name and approgrmted the money from the roomers for her own uses and purposes. Mrs. Smith denies that there wasany such condition. Ashley gave her the $80 for the rent and occupied rooms in the lodging-house himself during the past two months ané_never paid her anything for the rooms. When he demanded the $80 she made a counter-demand for $40 per month salary as his housekeeper, which he re- fused. She has receipts for the rent she paid to the agent, and no mention was made about Ashley becoming the land- lord. Mrs. Agujardi, better known as La Bastar- detla, had an incredibly high range of voice. Mozart heard her in 1770, and ex- pressed the greatest delight. She sang B in altissimo with perfect ease, and per- formed cadenzas deemed impossible for the human voice. —————— Confinement and Hard Work Indoors, particularly in the sitting posture, are far more prejudicial to health than excessive muscular exertioq in the open alr.

Dr. Brown Says the Deming Movement Is Injurious to the Cause. The friends of General 0.0. Howard in San Francisco are getting up a boom for his nomination for President of the United States. A. B. Deming is at the head of the movement, which seems to meet with the approval of many church people in this City. There are some, however, who are outspoken in their opposition to Mr. Deming engineering the movement. Still they are anxious to have the general nom- inated and there is every reason to believe that some of the more prominent church people will take the matter up. Mr. Deming, who is a religious enthu- siast, yesterday circulated the following petition about the hotels and other public places: PETITION, Enroll and organize all the friends of Gen- eral 0. 0. Howard into legions in every ward, election and school district of every State of our glorious Union, immediately. California legions please send list of officers 10 A.B.

HOWARD. Residence. When Mr. Deming advocated the cause of General Howard before a meeting of church people, a few dags ago, his propo- sition did not meet with a very enthusias- tie reception. The movement, however, is going steadily forward. General Howard was a member of the First Congregational Church during his residence in this City. *Deming is a crank,’’ said Rev. Dr. C. O. Brown, pastor of the First Congregational Cnurch, last night, “and there is no use in discussing him. While we would all like to see General Howard nominated, his chances are certainly not being en- hanced by the campaigning of such an unfortunate man as Deming. I will say, however, that the Congregationalists have nothing to do with this movement.” PARK BAND TRUSTEE. G. B. Wilcutt Appointed to the Position Made Vacant by Joseph Redding’'s Withdrawal. Concerning the resignation of Joseph D. Redding as trustee of the Park Band and the tendering of the position to George B. Wilcutt it can be said, using Mr. Wilcutt as authority, that the general plans which have heretofore governed the band will not be materially changed. Mr. Spadina will continue to lead the band, and under the management of L. C. Coggin concerts will be given as before, on Sundays only. Although much regret has been ex- pressed that business in the East has made it imperative for Mr. Redding to resign his position, it is the general opinion that Mr. Wilcutt will be an_able successor, as he has taken an active interest in the con- certs since they were introduced by the street railway management ten or twelve years ago. “In regard to the new concourse upon which the work of construction com- menced last Monday,” said Mr. Wilcutt 3 y y little concerning it, as it is under the jurisdiction of the Fark Commissioners, but I am desirous that the original plans, which call for the erection of an_im nense marble peristile, may be carried out.” CURTIS 1S AGGRESSIE Planning to Have the Upper Willamette Valley In- vaded. San Francisco Merchants to Be Shown How It Can Be Successfully Done. Trafic Manager W. B. Cartis of the Traffic Association is planning for another extension of the jobbing business of the merchants of San Francisco. The field that he now intends to direct their attention to as being a favorable one to exploit is the central portion of the pro- ductive Willamette Valley in Oregon. This is a field that the merchants of this City and of that section made a great hurrah about some years ago, and for a period closer relations and more extensive trans- actions resulted, but matters have since to a great extent lapsed into the former rut. Mr, Curtis, with bis intimate knowledge of the railroad and general transportation facilities of the coast, views this as one of the most promising problems to attack at the presenttime, and the proper solution of which willadd greatly to the jobbing trade of San Francisco. At present that section derives its supplies mostly from Portland, which nhas direct transportation facilities both by rail and water. But in the opinion of Traffic Manager Curtis the local jobbers and manufacturers have even more than a tighting chance against Portland in many classes of goods. 7 In order to bring the matter to the at- tention of the merchants in the most com- prehensive and effective manner, Mr. Cur- tis is now preparing a comparative table of rates between here and certain Willamette Valley points by the all-rail ronte over the Southern Pacific Company’s lines and_by the part water and part rail route, via Ya- quina Bay and Detroit, Or.; and also be- tween Portland, Or., and these same Wil- lamette Valley points. He is certain that he will be able to show that freight from this City can be carried into the desired territory more cheaply from this Citv via Yaquina Bay than it can be from Portland. . The Oregon Central Railway Company is operating a line of steamers between here and Yaquina Bn% and also a railroad from Yaquina Bay to Detroit, a distance of 140 miles. From Detroit, which 18 in the heart of the most productive portion of the | Willamette Valley, the goods could be dis- tributed over a large area at little addi- tional expense, either by water or rail. The proposition of Mr. Curtis is for the local merchants to utilize the facilities offered by the Oregon Central Railway, which is willing to meet them in the most liberal spirit, and make a determined fight :pr t:xde valuable trade of the section men- ioned. ments. The present is a particularly auspicious | time for such a campaign as the Oregon Central has in contemplation—the early extension of a branch line south from Corvallis to Eugene, a distance of about thirty-five miles, and of another north from Munkers to Salem. RUSH OF HOLIDAY MAILS. Postmaster McCoppiv Advises the Pub- lic to Patronize the Branch Stations. Postmaster McCoppin, anticipating the usual heavy increase of business at the Postoffice during the holiday season, is anxious to have the public do as much of its mailing as possible through the branch stations, so as not to overcrowd the main office. ~ The matter sent through the main office for the past few days has already increased one-third. In order to facilitate the busi- ness and preyent any overcrowding Mr. McCoppin has issued a public notice re- questing people living near the branch stations to send thbeir mail through them. The branch stations, ten in number, are: A, 1309 Polk strel B, City Hall avenue: C, Twentieth and ion streets; D, foot of Mar- ket street; E, Third and Townsend streets; F, Post and Devisadero streets; G, Castro and Seventeenth streets; H, Laguna street and Ivy avenue; J, 427 Montgomery avenue; K, Pal- ace Hotel, and L, Ocean View., A few extra clerks may be put on f holiday business, but no authorization to do so has as yet been received from Wash- ington, — - Testimonial to Mr. Neill.

Railroad Material Abandoned in Bond Causes a Conflict About Duties. The *“f"’ rail case, involving an impor- tant tariff question, and which the Treas- ury Department won some time ago in the United States Circuit Court as petitioner, has been appealed to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals by the respond- ent, the Anglo-California Bank. Attorney Charles A. Garter, for the bank, filed a petition for an appeal in Clerk Costigan's office yesterda; During the spring months of 1887 the Bank of California, as agent, imported to San Francisco for the Oregon Pacinc Rail- road Company 5678 tons of steel rails. The Morrison tariff was then in force and the duty upon such merchandise under the act of March 3, 1883, was $17 a ton. The rails were deposited in a bonded ware- house ana left there for the time limit of | three years. At the expiration of the three years the Oregon Pacific represented to the Treasury Department that it had been a sufferer from such casualties as storms and floods and desired a postpone- ment of action by the department, which was granted. One vostponement after another was allowed, the final one being September 16, 1893, pending a decision of the Board of General Appraisers as to the status then of the rails. On October 21, 1890, the department de- cided that “‘withdrawals” of the rails for consumption could only~be made under the act of 1890—the McKinley bill— but at the rate of duty imposed by the Morrison bill, with™ the accrued penalties of 10 per cent added. Not- withstanding this decision 3306 tons of the rails were withdrawn, and in addition to the i0 per cent penalties the Collector of Customs accepted the pavment of duty on them at the McKinley rate of $13 44 a ton, under the act of October 1, 1890, then in force. Eventually the importers offered to withdraw the remainder at the rate pre- scribed in paragraph 117 of the Wilson tariff act of August, 1894, but the Treasury Department refused to grant permission for that, proposing instead that to make a test case for judicial determination the Collector be permitted to allow the im- orters to withdraw a small portion. wenty rails—five tons in aggregate weight—were accordingly withdrawn at the $17 rate with the 10 per cent penalties which had accrued. Against this action the Anglo-California Bank, for the importers, protested, claim- ing that the rate of duty should be that of the Wilson act of August, 1894, namely, seven-twentieths of a cent per pound or §7 per ton—the rate of duty then in force. The Board of General Aporaisers at New York last April sustained the position of the protestant, holding that the rails were withdrawable at the Wilson rate of duty. There are 2370 tons still in the warehouse. Secretary Carlisle contested the decision in the United States Uircuit Court and se- cured a favorable decision reversing that of the Board of General Appraisers. Re- cently the Board of General Appraisers de- cided in accordance with the Circuit Court’s position. Mr. Garter contended in his petition for an appeal that the court erred in its con- clusions, which were: First, that tbe rails became abandoned to the Government at the expiration of the three years, within the law and under section 2917, Revised Statutes, and that at the date of such ex- piration they were liable to sale; second, that the merchandise upon its withdrawal from bond was subject to theact in force at the time of its abandonment, viz.: the act of March 3, 1883, regardless of the changes in the tariff made by the acts of October 1, 1890, and August 1, 1894, subse- quent to the abandonment; third, adding the 10 pér cent penalty; and, fourth, reversing the decision of the Board of General Appraisers. As to the court’s final judgment Mr. Garter’s position is that it should have held that the rails were legally in bond at the time of their withdrawal, and have decided that the Secretary of the Treasury was vested with the authority to allow their withdrawal. But the main point of the attorney’s contention is that the judg- ment of the Circuit Court pmcncalfy amounts to a declaration, that the act of March 3, 1883, and the penalty section were not repealed by subsequent legisla- tion. The few rails were withdiawn for the test case March 8¢ Thedpetmon for an appeal was allowed by Judge McKenna during the day. A CHICKEN DINNER.

National Colors, the Gift of Miss Kate Cooley, Raised With Appro- priate Rites. There wasan overflow of patriotism at St. Peter’s Hall yesterday. Miss Kate Cooley, a former student at St. Peter's parochial school, recently do- nated a large silken flag to her alma mater and it was raised yesterday afternoon amid great enthusiasm on the part of teachers and pupils. The girls assembled 400 strong at St. Peter’s Hall, the boys’ school, and were re- enforced by half that number of coming voters. The Sisters of Mercy, precept- resses at the convent. had decorated the hall with the National colors till no thought but recollections of independence days of the past and future could be entertwined amid such bravery of red, white and blue. Flags were converted into draperies for the windows. They decorated the walls and all available posts were wound with bunt- ing. The triple colors were repeated in the caps, girdles and streamers worn by the children, and as for the singing no Fourth of July orator was ever roused to the bigh- est pitch of eloquence by heartier rendition of the airs dear to every American. The children performed their share of the afternoon’s programme well. It con- sisted of a four-part vocal chorus, “New America,” by a number of the girl seniors; concert recitations, “The American Flag,”’ “Our Flag” and “Flag of Washington,” by the little girls; choruses, “My Country, "Pis of Thee,” and an instrumental duet, “Neck and Neck.” i The boys_of St. Peter’s School contrib- uted a patriotic recitation and drill, a cor- net solo, “The Star-spangled Banner,” by Alfred Todt, and a declamation, “‘Our Na- tional Ensign,” by Frank Sullivan. Young America was also heard to advan- tage in a spirited concert recitation, ‘‘Cus- ter's Last Charge.” Rev. P. C. Yorke addressed the youthful audience. ‘Children,’ said he, *‘the red in that beautiful flag teaches that you must be willing to shed the last drop of your hearts’ blood for it, if need be. The white means that you must serve the country represented by the flag by becoming good men and women. From the blue we learn that all Americans, of whatsoever faith, are entitled to its protection. A fourth color is sometimes seen in the flag—the gold of your State. That shows that noth- ing is too good for that flag, not even gold. But talking alone does not make patriots of us. We must act as weil; be ready to fight, to die if need be for this land we love.™ He told in simple language, adapted to the audience, the story of the Civil War and of the service done by Catholics in that struggle. “There were people who talked about the Catholics then as now,” he said, “‘and at that time as the present they were talk- ing through their hats—peaked hats, too. They were afraid they would wake up some morning and find the Pope in the President’s chair, and that they would have to gather about and kiss his big toe. They did not expect any service from the Catholics, so they said, but the brave Catholic regiment of Boston and the New York Sixty-ninth surprised them. So did Colonel Corcoran, who saved the Union army at Bull Run and enabled it to retreat. “Tove that flag and serve it. Protect it alike from domestic and foreign enemies. Never was a flag so spotless.” The children then repaired to the rounds, the flag was hoisted upon the guihling and the little patriots reverently saluted the stars and stripes, while the church bell on one side and the school bell on the other rang out an accompaniment. ““I'he Star-spangled Banner’ was sung right heartily, there were three lusty cheers for the silken standard waving proudly over the school and the ‘‘flag day” was over at St. Peter’: MADE MANY BEQUESTS.
