Father Yorke is like the Irishman’s flea—you put your finger on him and be isn’t there—but I have hopes of foicing uim at last to define his position on thos dodged issues, 50, at the risk of rendering my letters monotonous, 1 prod him again with these questions: ON THE A.

The following quotations, which range from the epigram to the wild and woolly perora- tion, ive the common opinions enfertained by Mr. Hudelson’ cty. ‘1. In the first place thereis no doubt at all as fo the fact that the Catholics are drilling. The Patriot of June 29, 1895, takesit for | granted: FACTS FOR PATRIOTS TO PONDER. The fact that Rome is drilling and arming all her luble young men bodes no good for the land. This is corroborated by the A.P.A.maga- zine, one of the ventures of that estimable gen- tleman, Mr. Price (page 888): Whilst th an church has denounced the 50N 0dd Fellows and secret niz-d not less than ten socie- ties under different mes in the United States, all of the Catholic religion. Many of them are armed with Winchester ritles and ready drilled for miii- ary service. The movement is under way in_California. Here is the Patriot of February 9, 1895 ROMANISTS ARMING. We have received a Jetter from one of the towns southward from here, saying that the Catholics of that p! pany composed exclusively of men of that faith. The writer gives the name of the person selected s captain, and says that seventy have aiready signed their names, or made their cross, as mem- Lers of the contemplated company. e also intimates that such things ar common {n certain por.ious of the State. Let the fucts be what they may, it would be well for the friends throughout the State to keep their ey open and Teport to us any actusl facts that occur Laving any bearing in the case. Of course this arming is done at the com- mand of the priest. The Patriot for August 24, 1895, page 13, contains the following: ABMING ¥OR WAR. Following 1s an extract from a sermon delive by Priest Menard in St. Joachin’s Komish Church in Detroit: “When the church needed armed men to enlis crusaders, the young men of the church should: the musket the orcers of Lh church, Wk get rid of the Sar: o and extermi- natea th e 10 cull ups 1 1o de this cou and 1 knc oung men the churc and tal up Arms toexte he enermic church How does that suit your taste?

It is found in the Patriot for July 5, 1894, page 2 MORE OF THE SAME KIND. CATHOLICS SHIPPING WINCHESTER RIFLES INTO WASHINGTON. Spokane Daily Review contained the follow- h; LLENSBURG, WASH., Feb. 13, 1894.—The Ro- man Catholic priests 0 this city to-duy received o consignment of supposed books. The ‘books' were shipped in oblong boxes and were hauled to the church by a Roman Catholic drayman. They were tnen stored in the basement ot the churcl. Twolitile boys, Freddie Davis, aged 8 years, and Tommy Lindsay. 7, were plaving in the neighborhood of the church and during the after- noou broke through & window in the cellar, entered and discovered that the boxes of ‘books’ contained ester rifles of the newest Upon I ing the church the boys were met by Kev. J. I ¥, Who asked them what they had been doing in the Catholic hurch. Their reply led to an investigation and the revelation of these startling truths. - The great- est excitement prevailed in the city and there is considerable talk of Iynching the priests.” 2. In the second place, the Patriots under- stand that these arms aré not for ornament. 11 they don’t understand, and the number of the obtuse among them is not small, they plainly that the Papists are almost Teady to take possession of the country and install the Pope in the Presidential chair. Says the Patriot of June 28, 1894: It being true that “the long-expected day bas come,” and Catholics will now act as one man in accordance with their religion, we can begin to dersiand the many suspicious movements That ve been made recently. This means that Catho- lics have now reached the time when they will work together, and, if need be, fight tozether, to accomplish their purpose of religious and poiitical supremacy in his couniry. Indeed, they have been ready for a long time and have only been waiting the opportuni Says the Patriotof August 24, 1895 To condense this statement of the situation re- specting Romanism in this country into the slang of the day, “Rome put up & job on us.’ vears in ‘advance,snd American patriots ome lively rustliog 10 do to catch up with and head her 0ff. It is & fact that Romanism is aiming for a conflict with Americanism. Already in East- ern localities ils priests are telling their people be ready to “tight P for their defense. V:olence is 1ply held in’ abeyance until the opportune mo- nt. And J.Q. A. Henry saw in the great strike Rom: Red Hand and the signals which pre- saged a general massacre of Protestant As reported in the Patriot of September 12, 1804, he said: Is it not likewise signific: that the rioters and e should adopt as ite ribbon worn by the y f the massacre of St. d that they their badge the same w Romau Catbolics on the Bartholomew 10 the e butchered in that dre night not be uire important part, and that they were the ves of theRoman Catholic hierarchy. According acaulay, it i the function of the Jesuits to plot against the lives and hrones of apostate kings, to spread evil rumors. 1o stir up civil com- motions, to inflame civil wars and to &rm the hand of the assassin. 3. How the Papists are to carry out their nefarious scheme is a matter of deep and diver- sified speculation among our protectors. 1 think Mr. Benjamin Hudelson should teli ns just how the thing is to eventuate and remove this torturing uncertainty. One bright particular genius opines that the attack is to come through England. He writes: SAN FRANCISCO, July 5, 1895. Editor American Patriot—DFAR SIR: In an Examiner of recent date I observed the following: he foundation stone of the Catholic cathedrai was laid at Westminster, London, and ail the Catholic nobility were present during the mony.” England will become & Catholic count Now, this on_top of the Pope’s last encyclical 10 the English, in which he praised them up to the skies, strongly points to the possible Catholicism of Great Britain. If this shouid be brought about what would be the effect on this country? Eng- | land, which has undoubtedly the most powerful Davy in the world, would &t the instigation of the bierarchy take immediate steps Lo capture this country, and they wouid be materially assisted by the Pope’s Irish in America. This s, I am con- vinced, one of the latest schemés on the parc of the hierarchy 10 obtain possession of the United States of America. Now, what can we do to counteract this move? Two things: Expel the Irish Catholics ard donble the present strength of the navy. If this be done within the next five years we will have nothing to feel uneasy aboul. With these treacherous “Micks” out of the country and the navy at twice its present sirength no nation will be powerfal enough to attack u<. Therefore, let us commence at once 1o expel the Pope’s Irish, who are 4 curse 10 all nations, aud to increase our navy. Yours truly. ZADOK. The Patriot, however, considers that the at- tack will be the other way. Thisis the pro- gramme as set forth in the issue of October 5, 1895. He is speaking of the Irish-American convention: At the close of the convention plans were formn- Iated to organize militia all over the United States and to agitate the question in various ways. To my mind the whole affalr appears like & plan to subjugate America. Rome Lias watched the rising tide 0f American patriotism and reached the con- clusion that it IS now or never with her. If she waits until November, 1896. before making move her political prestige will have vanished. Hence the necessity for prompt action. Rome now has the army, the navy and the police force of the Nation practically under Ler control. Under pre- tense of organizing militia to free Irelund she will muster and prepare her hosts to capture America. | The English Government will be obliged to cali upon this Government to put down a conspiracy 1o injure them. Under the pretext that the liveration of Ireland was for the glory of the church the Pope could ab- solve them from all allegiance to their Govern- ment, and_they wonld then be ready to strike a blow hat would mean the death of civil liberty in America. That Rome aims at the restora ion of the temporal power 0f the Pope is an indisputable fact: that the hundreds of thousands of Romun. ists armed and drilled in this country have not re- ceived military training 10 preach the gospel of Christ or support the American Government is a self-evident proposition: that Rome must down the A. P. A, or have her plans upser is apparent to all thinkers: that Rome places more dependence on bullets thian ballots is proved by her appeal to the sword at the Chicego convention. France glories in being the eldest daughter of the church. Rome depends upon her 1o reinsate the Pope. For the 1ast two Or three years. she hus been coguetting with Russia, and now they have formed an allegiance that practically puts tne k 10 the “Eastern question” into their hands. The war clouds of Furope are almost ready to bursts and vhen they do, the Jesuits expect 0 so_control the storm as (0 enable the Pope 0 regain his tem- poral power. ‘The recent move of Russia in Chi- nese waters, and her blustering attitude toward Jupan, proves that she wants to draw England’s ships away from Europe so as to swoop down upon Constantinople, while her French allies watch the German eagle. When the fatal spark touches European magazines, and all the Old World is abiaze with campfires, it is more than likely that Rome will seize our war-vessels and pour her armed minions into Ireland, and from thence to Rome. Americans! Rome’s armed hosts are 4 menace o our Govern: ment. Shall we sleep while they are sharpening the knife to cut our throats? Awaxe! Rouse ye while yet there is time! Still another opinion is that Rome will be- ginby inciting a riot and thus get in her dend- 1y work. Ifind in the Patriot of August 30, 1894, this prognostication: s ‘The Jesuitical conspirators concoct the schemes are endeavoring 10 form a military com- | becoming quite | So ti.ey aid, aud now Kome | are told | that their rights are invaded and that they must | our country is in danger. | i | thatare to subvert the republic, have given out | their proclamation of war, and the’American peo- ple must now meet the issue. The “vast horde' mentioned by the historian ‘‘has swept n _on America.”” The Romish legions are thoroughly drilled. superbly caparisoned, completely armed and effectively officered. Rome’s onslaught will not be made s upon the republic. She knows she could not win under such & declaration of war. Ier policy is to ircite riot and mobs in the lare centers, and when these are pretty well advanced, she will prociaim to the world that “religious lib: | erty” is assailed by Protestants, and in the name of the republic and under the @gis of the stars and stripes. with the army and the navy of the Nation n-rback, she will'expect the hosts of America. under these pretenses, to rally to her aid. The | more densely populated centers will easily be swung into line by reason of superior police au- 7, while the exvpts and cellars of monasteries d cathedrals of the cities will open their stores of ms, and every Papist will be under arms “at the click of the trigger.” The Rev. Donald Ross’ ideas are not particu- larly clear, butas far as I can interpret him | hie inclines to the opinion that the attack will be through the navy. He said on November 24,1895 "(as reported in A. P. A. magazine, p. 932, February, 1896): | Go to Benicia or Valle will find that the Roma or Mare Island and you atholic church. throngh ‘1 Bishops and priests, has its hand upon the American srmy and bavy and it ls waiting for the day when it shall have mighty leaders and to its dicta- tion; and believe me, my irienas, there will be marching to war, not_at the dictation of the Na- tion, notat the command of the people of this couritry, but at the command of the Bishops and | Archbishops of this country.

As it is taken jor Gospel truth that the Papists are preparing for bloody war it 1s but a natural consequence that the A. should arm too. I have already given the testimony of distinguished Protestant ministers as to the panic produced by the forged encyclical. The leaders of the A. A. do not conceive 1t to be their auty 1o allay that fear. 3 One pairiot puts the question in the organ (date August 17, 1895): ORGANIZATION OF AMERICAN PATRIOTS ON MILITARY BASIS. Would it not be the greatest advantage to the A.P. A in general and ihe American Nation in particular if some man or men belonging (o the A P.

But the official seal is set on the project by the boss of the order, Traynor, & Canadian,who has devoted himself to the task of protecting America. In a long letter addressed to the members of the order and_published in the A, P. A. magazine, page 848, he writes: AS TO A. P. A. MILITIA. In the early paragraphs of this communication I have advocated the suppression, by act of Co gress, of all military orgunizations whatsoever: et if this cannot be accomplished at an early date strongly recommend the members of patriotic orders to_organize military companies indepen- dently, under a separate ritual, pledged 10 the preservation, by force of arms if necessary, of the n 0f the United States and the Repub- c as it now exists. While I, with all other men of reason and intelligence, am opposed to anything in the natare of an A. P. A. militia, as being con- trary to the spirit of the coustitutior:, I am strongl of thie opinion tha If Congress refuses to suppress the rapidly increasing and incendiary army corp of the papacy, now organized in ail its militar splendor and’ insolence upon American soil— our Natioual Government, by its culpable inacts ity, gives governmental consent to such an ont- rage, it 13 highly necessary that the patriots of the Nation should iake such’ self-protective measures asare not inconsistent with their duty as law- abiding citizen T draw the attention of the order to this matter n response Lo many applications received by me from variois members and councils for permission to orzanize military companies, and, while it is beyond my powers to sanction the organization of sdch parties within the councils of our order, the supreme jurisdiction extends no farther and cannot forbid, nor would it be liable to oppose, any such movement prudently conducted. REMARKS, I have inflicted all these extracts on you, Mr. Editor, because in no other way could I show the height, depth, breadth and width of the fatuity of the A. P. A. Some of them are edi- torials, some are from correspondents, some are utterances of men high in the order. Traynor, as I have remarked, is the boss of the institution, and Donald Ross is the secretary of the advisory board, or the junta, which will tell all the members how to vote. All of them are sentiments spreaa broadcast by the A. P. A. to gain recruits. 1f we heard that such opinions were in voguein the in- terior of China or the hinterland of Ashantee we would express our pity and compassion at heathen ignorance and savage bigotry. But that bigotry is rampant within our own gates and that ignorance flourishes In the very shadow of our schoolhouses. For it, Mr. Benjamin Hudelson, you and your society are responsible. The unfortunatés who believe these things are your dupes, for I do not insult you by supposing you bélieve it vourseli. But those who do not believe have the greater guilt. They sin ageinst the light. For the sake of velf, for the sake of power, they are sowing here the dragon’s teeth which in other lands have yielded such a baneful harvest and such a bloody reaping.

Contractor Bateman Said to Be Sick and Attorney Sullivan Is in the East. The Harbor Commissioners held a very short session yesterday. President Colnon and Commissioner Chadbourne wanted to show Governor Budd the south end of the water front and in consequence nothing but routine work was taken up. > The Health Department wrote asking that the Mason-street sewer be extended bevond the seawall. The matter was re- ferred to Chief Engineer Holmes and the latter said that the work could not be done unless the City would do its share. There is yet a block and a half of City property through which the sewer must be extended before the State can step in. ‘“‘As soon as that work is done,” said Mr. Holmes, ‘I have no doubt but what the Harbor Com- missioners will carry the sewer through to the sea.” The Manufacturers’ aud Producers’ As- sociation wrote asking tbe board to use nothing but California-made rope on State tugs and dredgers. This matter was re- ferred to Purchusing Agent Westlake. The latter said thatall the rope used by the State on the water front was of California make, except the big hawsers, which could not be procured here. If it can be shown that as good an article as what is now pur- chased in the Kast can be made here the Harbor Commissioners will use it, even if it does cost a little more money. The captain of the Italian ship Salvatore Ciampi, and Hobbs, Wall & Co., on behalf of the schooner American Girl, asked for rebateson wharfage charges. It was held by the Commissioners that in neither in- stance had the law been obeyed, so the re- quests were refused. The plans and specifications for the shed to be erected over Pacific-street wharf were presented by Chief Engineer Holmes and adopted and the bids ordered advertised for. The shed wili be 90 feet broad and 590 feet long. In order to have it modern in everv respect the Chief Engineer in- tends having the north side open and the south side closed® by means of sliding doors. In this way goods on the wharf will be protected from the prevailing wind- storms, The new ferry depot building is still troubling the "Harbor Commissioners. Bateman Bros.’ demand on the Board of Examiners has been refused payment by the Comnptroller, but the contractors have made no move toward carrying the matter into the Supreme Court. With the test case hanging fire it looks as though noth- ing would be done for months to come. Bateman Bros. explain the delay by say- ing that J. C. Bateman, who has handled the whole matter, is very sick, and that their attorney, M. 1. Sullivan, 1s at present’ in the ast. Nevertheless the Commis- sioners are very much worried and they would be very glad to see some movement in the direction of a Supreme Court settle- ment, S eurgbie Uy ALONG THE FRONT. A Large Cargo of Central and South American Frelght Arrives on the Walla Walla. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s | ports yesterday loaded down with general merchandise. She has on board 32,000 sacks of flour and 8000 cases of canned goods, nearly all of which is for Mexican and South American ports. The bulk of | the stuff will leave on the steamer Willam- | ette Valiey on the 2Sth inst., and the | remainder will go to South America via Panama on the Pacific Mail Company’s steamers. The Walla Walla made a quick assage of fifty-eight hours from Victoria, . C. " Captain Wallace will resume com- | mand on the next voyage. Commodore C. C. Bruce has sold his fine vacht, the Rover, and is now having plans and specifications made fora fine schooner which he expects will beat anything in the bay. She will probably be ready by next yachting season, and in that event the commodore and his guests wiil have | many a delightful cruise along the coast. The Pacific Mail Company’s San Juan went out loaded to the gunwales, but with- out a single passenger aboard. She took out a lighter in tow, and presented an overloaded appearance as she moved slow- ly along the front. There was neither doc- tor nor baker on board, so the crew will have to depend on the cook for their bread and on the captain for their medical at- tendance. At the last minute Captain | Walla Walla arrived from Puget Sound | | | { Pitts was found to be too ill to take the | vessel out, so Chief Officer Grandel was placed in command, and he will take the San Juan to Panama and back. The whaler Gayhead has completed her fitting out and” will sail on a protracted cruise in a few days. She will first go to Kodiak and Bristol Bay right whaling, If the season is not good there the vessel will be headed for the Arctic. From there she will go south after the sperm whale, and thence westward to Guam, where she will refit. Thence the voyage will be contin- ued to Japan,and from there the second year’s voyage will begin. It will be a re- petition of the first, and Captain Foley is confident that it will be a success. Three boys stole a 100-pound flask of quicksilver from the Mail dock yesterday and were making their way along Harri- son street with it when Officer Bean of the Harbor police noticed them. He jumped into a buggy and gave chase, but the lads dro{uped their. spoil and ran up Rinzon Hill. They made much better time than | the horse and were soon lost to sight | among the turns and twists of Essex street. Bean brought the flask to the Harbor police station, where it now awaits an owner. It is marked F between two white stripes which form the letter V. A POTRERO SWINDLE. Three Men Wanted by the Police for Obtaining Money by False Pretenses. Dr. J. A. Simpson of Solano street swore out a warrant yesterday for the arrest of J. J. Smith, “John Doe” and ‘Richard Roe’’ on the charge of obtaining money by false pretenses. Last week Smith and two other men called at Dr. Simpson’s residence and re resented they were selling tickets for a ball in South Park Hall, the proceeds to be given to G. A. Allen, an employe of the Western Sugar Refinery Company, who had a large family and had been disabled from work. The doctor’s sympathies were aroused and he bought two tickets at 50 cents each. Dr. Simpson learned that a large num- ber of tickets had been sold in the Potrero, and he was very much annoyed and dis- gusted to find that he and the other lipur- led. chasers of tickets had been swin Inquiry elicited the fact that no person of the name of G. A. Allen had been in the employment of the Sugar Refinery Com- any, and that there was no such rgall as Eouth Park Hall. It was simply a scheme concocted by the three men to get some money, The doctor said he knew Smith and that he would be able to identify the other two men. 8 e e——— Lord Wolseley, who may have to face the whole German army, as commander- in-chief of the British forces, cannot enter a room where a car is witbout uncomfort- able sensation: WILL VOTE HIS STOCK. | has learned in her litigation, and that Sydney V. Smith Says He Will Do This at the Next. Election. THE RAILWAYS MAY UNITE. Judge Angelotti Delivers a Long and Exhaustive Opinion in Favor ¢ of Smith. The temporary injunction granted to President Foster of the S8an Francisco and North Pacific Railroad restraining Sydney | V. Smith, a controlling stockholder, from | voting certain shares of the stock at the next election, was dissolved by Judge An- gelotti yesterday at San Rafael. It was claimed that Mr. Smith could not vote these shares under the terms of a con- tract existing between the directors of the road and himself. In this contest for the control of the road Judge Angelotti in a lonz opinion re: fused the applications both of the plaintiffs | and defendant for an injunction and left the parties to their usual remedies. The Judge held there was nothing against public policy in the agreement un- der consideration, but that any party might at any time, except in cases of partner- ship, withdraw from such contracts unless there was some question of estoppel. The court did not deem it necessary to exam- ine the testimony on that point, because after all the contract was not one that could be specifically enforced. The plaintiffs might have other reme- dies, but that was not for the court to de- cide on the present applcation. No in- junction was necessary, because if any party was agegrieved at the election a remedy was provided by the statute for testing 1ts validity, which remedy was in every way adequate. The. decision was exhaustive and re- viewed all the decisions given in similar cases referring to the voting of stock by agreement and making agreements against. public policy. The result of the opinion created a decided sensation. A. W. Foster, gres'dentof the San Fran- cisco and North Pacific Railroad, sai “‘The cuse now is reduced to its original basis before the temporary injunction was granted. Beyond this I have nothing at present to say. Whatever is done is purely legal. But every one can guess what will be done. I cannot say whether we shall appeal or not. But the question is now open for an appeal on both sides.’’ **This 1s not my fight,”” said J. B. Stet- son, president of the North Pacific Coast Railroad. “I have no interest in the matter whatever.” Sydney V. Smith was seen on the boat last evening before leaving for San Rafael, “I have not seen the decision,” said he, “but there is really nothing to’ sav abouj it. The court has vacated the temporary restraining Injunction, and this allows me to vote my stock at the election next Tuesday. Even if the otherside should agpenl to the Supreme court they could not obtain any injunction that would prevent me trom voting at this election. Of course, what may transpire before the election a year hence cannot easily be predicated now. There is no appeal for me to take, I did not commence the case, I will simply vote my stock.” —_— Hunting for a Defendant.
