Deacon Dexter Thinks Dr. Brown Made a “Slight Mistake.” SOME SPEAK MUCH STRONGER. | Dr. Pond and Mr. Wikoff Were on the Trial of the Eureka Pastor Who Sinned. Some of the congregation of the church of which the Rev. Dr. Charles O. Brown is | still the pastor are dissatisfied with the | manner in which the committee that is to try the charges against the pastor was ap- pointed. Their claim is that the congre- gation itself should have had the choosing of that investigating committee, but that Dr. Brown took the power out of the con- gregation’s hands by boldly announcing, without warrant under the rules of the | chureh, that the standing committee would | do the investigating. One of the lady members of the congre- gation says she called Dr. Brown’s atten- tion to the fact that this course was tan- | tamount to his appointing his own | committee, but that he curtly retorted by referring her to article 5 of the church rules, and declined to discuss the matter | further. Now there are indications that this course | is not entirely satisfactory to a good many of the members, and it may be that there | are fnrther rocks ahead for the Rev. Dr. Brown, His action in publicly calling upon a attendant nor member of the congregation, the other evening at prayer meeting, and asking her to lead in prayer, is condemned very generally, even by the friends of the troubled pastor. Deacon Dexter himself has remarked that he thought it was a “shight mistake.” while some others put the matter in stronger phrase. Secretary Westgate of the standing com- mittee selected by Dr. Brown toinvestigate his official conduct yesterday notified the Bay Association committee of the commit- | tee’s readiness to act in conjunction with {it. Just when this work will begin, how- ever, seems extremely doubtful. Rev. Mr. Wikoff is away on a visit, and it is prob- able that the joint committee will await his return before formally organizing. According to Dr. Williams, however, there will be no delay whatever in the in- vestigation. The joint committee will undertake to arrange for a succession of meetings to continue until the charges | against Dr. Brown are probed to the | bottom. The meetings will, of course, be o | strictly private, but the public are to be fully informed of such matters as the com- mittee thinks advisable. This information will be distributed to the daily papers by a regularly appointed press representative, whose official life will be governed by the correctness witn which he follows instruc- tions. So far as can be learned no arrange- ments have been made or even contem- | plated looking toward tne admission of evidence other than that to be offered by | Dr. Brown. Miss Overman will in all probability be called on to give her version | of the affair, but as she is an equally inter- ested party any statement which she might make under such circumstances would of necessity lack force and effect- iveness. It is not thought probable that Mrs. Tunnell will add the weight of her testi- | mony to that of Dr. Brown and Miss Over- man uunless she does it by deposition. | The lady, who beat a well-ordered and | successful retreat from San Francisco | immediately after the arrest of Mrs. | Daviason, is badly wanted by the defens: | They rely upon her to corroborate, un- | | | der oath, of course, the specilic charges made by Mrs. Davidson, and substantiated in part by Mrs. Thurston. Mrs. Tunnell, however, is fighting shy of anybody who has the appearance of & man with a sub- pena. Since she was located by THe CarLL last week, she has managed to keep away . | from the public, a policy she will probably | pursue until after the investigaion and “Dr. Brown fully understands that a man occupying his position should so live | that his life could be referred to like an open book,” said Dr. Wiliiams of the Bay | Association committee yesterday. ‘‘Any | good or bad act is open to criticism or praise, and in this particular instance the public may rely on it that Dr. Brown isa man of much spirit and pride to submit | quietly to the charges that have been rade against him. He is far more anxious | for this investigation than the public seem to think.”” Dr. Williams and Dr. Brown were in col- | lege at Oberlin, Ohio, and it is deemed by | the congregation but natural that they { should take a most lively and friendly in- | terest in each other. It was stated late last night by a mem- ber of the joint committee, who refused to allow the use of bis name, that a meeting would probably be held to-day, when definite arrangements for the investiga- tion would probably be made. He was not in favor of any delay, and promised to | see to it that no whitewash should be used. S S WERE JUDGES BEFORE. Dr. Pond and Rev. Mr. Wikoff Tried a Pastor iIn Eureka. A number of Congregationalistsin this City began to draw parallels as soon as they read that the Bay A'ssociation had appointed Rev. W. C. Pond, Rev. H. H. Wikoff and Rev. W. D. W ms a com- mittee to investigate the charges made against Dr. Brown. The paralleis were drawn between the investigation made by several local clerey- men in the case of Rev. George M. San- born of Eureka several years ago and the pending investigation of Dr. Brown. Like the pastor of the First Congrega- | tional Church, Rey. George M. Sanborn was a fluent and clever speaker. He had 2 unumber of devoted followers in his Tureka congregation, and when Rev. C. A. Huntingdon of Eureka brought grave charges of misconduct against bim it was | lady reporter, who was neither a casual | the trial of Dr. Brown’s former class leader. | only the minority in the flock who dia not rally round the pastor, Mr. Huntingdon insisted on an investigation, and inti- mated his willingness to pay all expenses, a provision which he fulfilled. Several San Francisco clergymen were called upon to act as inveatigators, and by a somewhat | 0dd eoincidence two of their number were | | Rev. W. C. Pond and Rev. H. H. Wikoff, | the gentlemen who have been called upon to investigate Dr. Brown’s case. The trial was held in Eureka, at first with open doors, but as evidence began to come in it was decided to make the ses- sions strictly executive. The result of the conference was favorable to Mr. Sanborn, and after giving their verdict Rev. Dr. Pond, Rev. H. H. Wikoff and the other ministers took the steamer to this City. By the next steamer Rev. George H. San- born, the rehabilitated pastor came. He was accompanied by the runaway wife of a Eureka citizen, who passed off here as the lawful spouse of Rev. George Sanborn. Since his flight the Eureka pastor has ceased to wear the title of reverend. At present he is in the East pursuing the | humble but honest trade of a book agent, & | career for which his glib tongue particu- | larly fits him. Rey. Dr. Pond, who is said to have done | more to call out the result of the investi- | gation than any other pastor concerned, | said yesterday when guestioned on the subject: “People make a mistake in supposing that Mr. Sanborn was whitewashed. We | returned the Scotch verdict of ‘Not proven,’ because we did not consider that the evidence warranted us in giving a ver- diet of guilty. I regret to say that Mr. Sanborn turned out very badly afterward, but the charges brought against him were not of the nature of the offense which he committed later. “Rev. C. H. Huntingdon accused Mr. Sanbern of falsehood. The charge was | dented and as Mr. Sanborn refused to sub- mit to a trial an ex-parte council was called, which tried him anyway. There is no paraliel between this case and that of Dr. Brown, for from the beginning the pastor of the First Congregational Church has courted investigation.” Rev. Dr. Pond was thoroughly enthusi- astic over Dr. Brown’s eagerness to have the alleged charges investizated. ““It stands to reason,” he said, “that Dr. Brown knows the result of the trial will be favorable to himself, otherwise he would not have asked for an investigation. We shall sift all the evidence we can secure, but nothing will be made public till after Mrs. Davidson’s trial.” Dr. Pond also in- timated that as the ministerial committee had been given full rower to actas the | members saw fit, it was not improbable that they would add to their number by | calling upon people of more weight and | authority in the community than them- selves. When asked whether Rev. Dr. McLean was likely to be selected, Dr. Pond said: ‘It speaks very well for Dr. Brown that he wants Dr. McLean. They have differed |on several issues, and the fact of Dr. | Brown’s wanting him shows that he does | not fear the result of even Dr. McLean’s investigation.” 10 CIREFOR WANDERERS School Directors Are Figuring on a Place of De- tention. Superintendent Babcock Receives In- formation on the Boston School. In pursuance of its idea of providing a school near this City where wayward and truant children can be cared for, as they are in other cities of the country, the Board of Education has been in corre- sponaence with other municipalities, with | a view to ascertaining how such institu- | tions are cenducted. Superintendent of | Schools Babcock received the following | letter from Superintendent Seaver of the | | Boston public schools yesterday : | ! BostoN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The schiool was opened in September last, and its operation thus far has been full of | promise. Its career has been too brief for any | one to draw conclusions therefrom, or for there being any literature in relation to the instruc- tlon.” Yours very respectiully, DWIN P.

An alarm was turned in through box 324 at 6:15 o'clock last evening for a burning chim- ney in a frame residence on Sacramento street, near Broderick. A few minutes later an alarm sounded from box 325 for & chimney fire in a dwelling-house on California street, near Central avenue. In both cases the damage was slight. The storm crossed wires all over town and bells rang repeatedly in con- sequence of the disturbance thu s Scott & McCord. of Office and main warehouse removed to 615 &nd 617 Sixth street, near Brannan. . JUGGLES MALIETON'S COIN Shrewd President Schmidt of Samoa Looks Out for Number One, MANY DISSATISFIED NATIVES Consul-General Mulligan on the Fail- ure of the Treaty and Tyranny of the Germans, J. H. Mulligan, Consul-General from the | United States to Samoa, arrived Lere yes- terday, and is avthe Lick. He is on nis way to his home at Lexington, Ky., for a vacation. General Mullizan is a lawyer and has also had experience as an editor. He has original ideas about the rights of the natives of Samoa and on the subject of taxes there. fle gives the Germans a thorough shaking up. From nis story | | they draw down nearly all the revenues in the shape of big salaries, paid in gold, while they inflict all kinds of indignities on the natives. The Consul-General said last night: In a sense the condition of affairs in Samoa is substantially the same that it has been since | of the islands and therights of the natives. American interests, though still small, are increasing at a rate proportionately greater than the others, and if allowed to develop they will soon be of cousiderable importance to San Francisco. | The treaty powersare no longer called upon to bear any share in the cost of the administration here or in the maintenance of the Jana commission as the latter has conciuded its work and the Government of Samoa is now self-supporting. It is thought that early in March Chief Justice Ide will haye concluded his labors and that by that time every title to land claimed by foreigners will be duly investi- gated and confirmed or rejected as the case | may be. Title to 20,000 acres of some of | the finest property in the islands has been | confirmed to Willman, Naylor & Hobbs of San Francisco. The land will be subdi- vided and offered for sale. Taxes in Samoa are low and the general health is excellent. HIS MENTAL STATE. Samuel B. Thompson Placed | Padded Cell of the Hospital. .Samuel B. Thompson, the aged vender of newspapers, who had attempted twice to hang himself in his cell in the City | Prison, was taken before Judge Sanderson | yesterday to be examined as to his sanity. | The Judge remanded him back to the | in a City Prison and remarked that it would be time enough to discuss his sanity after a trial jury had passed upon the grave of- fense of which he was charged. As soon as Thompson was put back in | his cell he began breaking the benches | and raising a disturbance. Captain Rob- | inson placed him in an emnpty cell and strapped him securely to an iron bed- stead. Thompson managed to free him- | self from_ his bonds and commenced tear- |ing the bedstead apart.

[Sketched by a “Call’’ artist.] the treaty government went into operation. indeed the same that it has been since the white assumption of control first commenced. The condition is probably worse than it has been at any time within the period of white occupation. Heretofore the troubles have been confined to the natives, who constitute more then nineteen-twentieths of the entire population. At present the serious feature of a very severe financial depression is added. True, there is no outbreak nor disturbance; pr found peace prevails and is likely to endure; but the political ills have not been healed or even improved. Heretofore thef'petty wars and outbreaks were confined 1n their general evil result wholly to the natives, the white population rather profiting than losing thereby. Now, however, the extreme financial depression is ielt much more acutely by the business and white community. 2 The treaty government of the powers is con- fessedly & failure. It was a mistake and a blunder fiom the outset. It set up a most com- plex and conflicting ADY government of ne is & compromise betwee! conflicting systems. The nations long ago found that the Govern- ment failed directly or indirectly to make any return for the taxes it collected, that its reve- nues were all absorbed in salaries to white officials; in short, that there was nothing in it for them, and they ceased to paytaxes. In 1894 the entire native population paid but about $600 in national and municipsl taxes. he whites now, in organized form, threaten that if reforms and retrenchments are not inaugurated they, too, will decline to pay taxes, hoping in this way to enforce reform and economy of government and administratio which they despair of securing until an issue is sharply made. Copra is in effect thesingle export. of 1894 was the largest ever known in the islands. In that vear the export amounted in all to some $£330,000 or $340,000. The Jerop of last year will not ex of the preceeding one. In a small community of slender resourses and small business, such a difference becomes very serious. In this condition the business and white community directly paying in the revenue have, a8 in all such cases, turned upon the government as existing evils. hile they have not found, on examination, such to be the case their atten- tion has been sharply drawn to the fact that their little government, in which the single municipality of Apia and the general govern- ment is hopelessly complicated, is at ouce & most ineflicient and extravagant one. They are intensely dissatisfied with the ad- ministration of the German President, Schmidt, who for performing the duties of Treasurer and Mayor of the village of Apia receives a salary of $5000 per annum in United States gold. The native government repudiated him and asked his recall a year ago, but no attention was paid to its request. Now the white popu- Jation makes the same demand. The Chief Justice receives a salary of $6000 per year. But there will be no revolution; the com- munity s too small—too isolated. The total island revenue of 1894 was about $£350,000 in round numbers. Of this official salaries absorbed, according to my calculation, a little in excess of 77 per cent.” The resolu- tions of the meeting I have mentioned stated it to be 83 per cent. These are regularly fixed salaries, but in addition there ere many other occasional and irregular salaries. Little or nothmg is left in effect to pay other expenses to build or improve. In consequence there is little public improvement; stagnation has settled over everything. WANT IT REVISED. The White People Dissatisfied With the Berlin Treaty as It Now Exists. APIA, 8amo4, Jan. 1.—The foreign pop- ulation here is anxious that there should be a revision of the Berlin treaty, that the office of president of the municipality should be abholished and that the present occupant of that position should be re- callied from Samoa, where his presence is very obnoxious. Several indignation meetings have been held, but as yet no outbreak has taken place. Still at a public meeting (in which all nationalities participated equally) it was decided that, unless a change was made in a very short time, the whites would take such measures as would bring matters to a crisis in short order. By faults of neglect, omission, tyranny, general foolishness and incompetence President Schmidt has rendered himself very distasteful to both natives and whites and his presence here is no longer of any practical use. Some time ago the natives petitioned to the powers for his removal, vresenting a very formidable array of reasons, and now his own countrymen and others are following the same course after giving him a long and patient trial.

A Number of Boat Crews Attempting to Board Their Vessels Went Adrift. The wind and rain storm swept in strong gusts along the water front and over the bay all last night. Soon after dark the ¢ale veered around from the southeast to the south, and about 9 o’clock it was sey- | eral points nearer the west. This change | was fortunate for the shipping at the i wharves, which were then sheltered to a | great extent by the hills of the City. But | the wind hummed furiously over the roofs | of the dock buildings and through the | upver rigging of the vessels moored at the | plers with the roar of a gale at sea. It blew down the streets from the south and west, bringing heavy rain showers, until the pavements were flooded and every | gutter was a swift-rushing torrent. A number of boats from different ships |in the bay were forced to remain ashore, | their crews standing in sheltered nooks on | the docks peering through the stormy | night off toward their ships that were visible in the thick gloom. To attempt the passage from shore to ship in that sea nd squally wind were madness, so they simply stood on the wharves and put in the night waiting. Several boats did attempt the trip and | came to grief. A twelve-oared cutter be- | longing to the United States coast-defense | vessel Monterey started from Folsom- | street wharf for the vessel and was quickly carried down the bay. The crew bent to their oars with a will, but the boat drifted at a ten-knot speed. She finailly managed to land at the Clav- street float, the men exhausted with their heavy pull. The Boston’s steam launch came ashore at about 5 o'clock, and after trying to get back to the ship returned to the wharf and made fast for the night. A boat from the ship Inchcape Rock was drifting rapidly out to sea, when another boat from the same vessel started to the rescue. Both went floating before the gale out toward the heads. The first boat was icked up by the United States steamer Elurzley, and the other, containing the would-be rescue party, was overhauled by the steamer McDowell and landed at Vallejo-street wharf. The McDowell then went alter a boat containing four men belonging to the ship Glenfinart, which anchored off Goat Island. The crew had become worn out with their labor at the oars and were quietly drifting to sea. They were towed back to their ship. Several other boat crews were found helpless on the bay and rescued by tugs and steamers. A number of ship captains were taken out to their vessels in tugs and even this means of getting aboard was attended with difliculty. Captain Atkinson of the ship Monkbarns while passing from the deck of the Sea Witch to his ship fell into the bay between the two vessels and aimost lost his life. He was bruised against the sides of the ship and tug and narrowly escaped drowning. | i | | | A Change for the Better. For a decade the Bacon Printing Com- pany has been a familiar name to San Francisco merchants. Since the death of Mr. Bacon his wife has ordered the busi- ness sold. Mr. James Agar, for thirty years the manager of the Bacon Prinling Company, and one of the most able an conscientious men in the printing busi- ness, has been fortunate in having his friends in the business community interest themselves in securing bim a good posi- tion at an excellent salary as kead of one of the departments of the well-known Myseli-Rollins Company, stationery manu- facturers, bookbinders, etc.,, at 22 Clay street, near the ferry. Mr. Agar will, in his new connection, no doubt, find a larger and more satisfactory scope for his ability, as the Mysell-Rollins Company | operate on larger and more liberal lines, ALONG THE WATER FRONT, Eventful Voyage of the Bark Martha Davis From Honolulu, AN APPRENTICE BOY INJURED. Charles Fair Will Probably Accept the Gasoline Yacht Lucero. The American bark Martha Davis from Honolulu had a terrible experience during her sixteen days’ run to this port. She was caught in two hurricanes, had her sails blown away, her galley washed over- board, the rails smashed and the cabins flooded again and again. time in all my experience,” said Captain Soule yesterday, “'that I had to heave a ship to on a fair wind. The seas ran mountains high and the decks were con- stantly full of water.” ‘When the galley was carried away Stew- ard Henderson made his escape, but a sea caught and threw him against the com- panion way. He was badly hurtandis still suffering from his injuries. Captain Soule has been nineteen years in the Martha Davis as master and mate and been around the Horn fourteen times in her. During all those years he says he never was in a storm that compared with the two nurricanes the Martha Davis en- countered during her run from Honolulu to San Francisco. The United States Lighthouse Board has issued the following notice to mariners: It is reported thet the Noonday Rock bell- buoy has gone adrift. If so it will be replaced at the earliest practicable date, when due notice will be given. In the meantime navi- gators should be extremely cautious in ap- proaching tie vicinity of this rock, which lies hidden, with nothing to indicate its position. The Pacific Steam Whaling Company's steamer Jeanie will sail for Hunters Bay, Alaska, via Seattle, to-morrow. At that point the company will erect a cannery. The steamer will take up all the supplies, including coal, which will be taken aboard at Seattle. In about a week the Golden Gate will follow the Jeanie, but she will go to Chilcat, where another cannery is to be established. Next season the whaling company intends to run in opposition to the Alaska Packers’ Association. There was a sad accident on the British ship Inverlyon yesterday. The vessel was lying at the sugar refinery, and the heavy swell caused her to roll considerably. While moving round the deck Reginald Brown, one of the apprentice-boys, lost his footing and fell into the hold. He frac- tured his skuli, and Captain May had him at once conveyed to St. Mary’s” Hospital. There four pieces of bone were removed from his forehead, and last night the lad was doing as well as could be expected. Brown is but 16 years of age, and is well connected in England. Fair’s yacht, the Lucero, was out for another trial trip yesterday. Captain Jes- sen acted as first mate, and George A. Knight was in command. Over at Sausa- lito, where the full force of the southeaster was encountered, the Lucero behaved splendidly, and the engines worked as well as could be desired. The yacht will make a splendid craft for summer cruising, and Knight would accept her at once were the cabins only a little larger. The chances are, however, that when Mr. Fair returns to San Francisco he will pay the balance on the yacht and take her. The California Navigation and Improve- ment Company’s steamer Mary Garratt did not get away for Stockton until 11 o’clock last night, On her way to San Francisco she get on a mud bank in Black Slough and stuck there for eleven hours. All the passengers went up on the oppos tion boat. There has been a large quan- tity of freight moving of late and the Navigation and Improvement Company’s boats have been coming down with all the flour and wheat they could carry. The Valiejo steamer Monticello will be laid up for three days—Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday — next week. Captain Hatch says she may get away again Wednesday afternoon on her usual run, but he is not sure. In the meantime the Herald and Sunol, according to Hatch, will run in the Monticello’s place. The latter is to have a new and larger smoke- stack put in, which is expected to increase her speed. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s Willamette Valley arrived from Mexican ports yesterday with Captain JamesSloane and fourteen of the crew of the wrecked American ship Arcturus on board. Full particulars of the loss of the vessel at Santa Rosalia were given in THg CALL a fortnight ago. The carpenter was drowned while being hauled ashore. The City of Puebla from Puget Sound was eight hours and the Columbia from Portland nine hours late in getting in yesterday. Both were delayed by the southeaster. The Puebla had a very rough time of it, and her decks were never dry during the entire trip. Captain Fulton of the British ship On- caios thinks his consignees are having lots of fun with him. Since his arrival his vessel has been moved from the stream to Beale street, thence to Main street, back to the stream, thence to the west side of Beale street round to the east side, and to-day he is to be moved back to the west side again. When his cargo is out he will take in ballast and go to Tacoma to load lumber for Cape Town. THE TRAINMEN WIN. Five Discharged Men Reinstated by Efforts of the Brotherhood. All differences between the grievance committee of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and toe Southern Pacific Com- pany have been settled and the twelve members of the grievance committee have returned to their respective homes. The matter of greatesi importance was the re- quest made for the reinstatement of six men, who, it is claimed, had been unjustly discharged. On representations made to General Superintendent Fillmore five of the six men were taken back into the em- ploy of the company. ————— Entertained by Songs. The Brotherhood of St. Andrew’s of St. Luke’s Church gave & pleasant entertainment last evening 1 Y. M. C. A. Hall, which was well attended. The affair wast nder the direction of W.

Hemphill, vice-pragident of the exposition and largest stockholder in the Atlanta Constitution, in making the address of welcome to the Ohio people on Cincinnatti day at the fair, declared that though he was® a Democrat, he was a pro- tectionist from head to foot. He said he believed in a protective tariff that would develop the industries of this Nation. He said the saddest thing he had heard for years was the reporta few daysago that an American railroad sent to England for several thousand tons of steel rails. These rails, he declared, should have been made in Pennsylvania, Tennessee or Alabama, and would have been made in this country had there been a proper protective tariff. —_———— Rice-throwing at a newly married couple has been adjudged an assault by one Eng- lish magistrate, “It was the first | ONLY A COLD!
