The s, with the antics of those who took part, made up a novel and happy looking assemblage. There wasa little disappointment among those preseng because the Duke of Savoy had failed to appear. He, however, sent regrets; from Burlingame, where he bad been detained over night. At 10:30 o’clock F. Arata led the way to the banquet-hall, where a sumptuous repast awaited the following invited guests of the Garibaldians: Florenzio Cavagnaro, who occupied the head of the table, with Commander Ber- tolini of the Italian man-of-war on his right, and Presbitero, first lieutenant-com- mander, on his left, with the fol- lowing ~ prominent . 'Italian zens occupying seats at tne table: . Pa- trizi_of the L’'Italia, G. Beojnotti, P. Sinni, F. Arata, Dr. Caglieri, Mons, Cha- mot, F. Zeiro, E. Merani, P Pecata, C. Lagomarsino, E.

In response to the toast of the cruiser | and its crew Captain Bertolini paid a high compliment to the people of San Francisgo for their hospitality to him, his officers and crew. - SAID IT WAS A MISTAKE Dr. Colburn’s Arzest Due to a Misappre- hension on the Part of the Officers. It is uulikely that the arrest of Rev. M. F. Colburn at Golden Gate Park Saturday afternoon will lead to any further pro- ceedings. His arrest is said to have been due to a misapprehension on the part of the officers occasioned by his having been discovered in a place where he was obliged 1o retire on account of a personal affliction. He occupied the pulpit as usual yesterday and was warmly assured by the members i, G: Roecatagliata, A. Vacearo, | ] of his congregation of their confidence. in his innocence. As the man arrested in | company with him denies the charge, | corroborating the pastor’s story, it is | expected that the case will be dismissed as | as a blunder on the part of the police. | THE WATER FRONT. | The San Jose Arrives With a Cargo Under the New Con- tract. The steamer San Jose arrived from Pana- ma yesterday with the first through cargo of west-bound freight from New York | under the new contract made with Hun- tington and the Panama Railroad. She brought 16,000 packages of freight and the | following cabin passengers: | Colonel Worberto Moran and wife, Dr. { Borga and wife, F. Keppel and wife, Dr. | L. H. Ketchum and wife, H. C. Sumner, John Hills Combs, J. H. Ladd, L. A. Grif- | fith, R. H. Gray, A. Perusini and Samuel Redmond. Coleone! Moran is the Minister of War of Salvador and is now on his wed- ding tour to Paris, accompanied by Dr. Borga and_his wife. There were twenty passengers in the steerage and seven Chi- nese in transit for Hongkong. The bark W. F. Witzeman arrived twenty-two days from S8an Marcos Isiand | with 500 tons of gypsum. She left the island twelve days after the schooner J. | M. Ingalls and passed her. . The latter has not been heard from yet and fears are en- tertained for her safety. The revenue cutter Bear, which has ‘hereto(ore worn a gloomy coat of black aint, has been painted white and now ooks like a small member of the white squadron. The United States steamers Petrel and | Yorktown, which are on the Chinese sta- tion, have been ordered home for repairs. {The latter has been in Chinese waters for a year and the former over three years. They will both come to San Francisco. S e THE JUNTA'S PRIMARY. It Will Measure the Rainey-Daggett Strength To-Night. The junta’s primary election for the creation of a new general committee will take place this evening from 7:30 to 9:30 | o’clock. Itis under the club plan,and one poiling place in each district has been an- nounced. The total enrollment effected during De- cember has never been definitely stated, | though it was said at headquarters to be about 6000. As there will be but one ticket in each district, with | not more than two or three ex- ceptions, the election will be somewhat perfunctory. and s large vote is naturally not expected. Chairman Sullivan and the m committee € vigorously exer- sed j iction over the tickets of twenty-five names in each district, and where there have been contesting factions have effected compromises or imposed them, dividing the representation and so avoiding contests at the polls. The chief contest remaining is the one in the Forty-fourth District, where George Maxwell and the rest of Sam Rainey’s forces have up to date refused to abide by Chairman Sullivan’s decision that they may have but twelve of the twenty-five delegates. Maxwell proposes to run an in- dependent ticket of twenty-five names and demand of the new committee the admis- sion of all his delegates on the principle that the majority shoutd rule. If this de- on is carried,out a hot and pretty fight ill be on in the whole organization. he chief interest taken in the election is directed to the problem of how strohg the Rainey-Daggett faction is and how far the anti-Raineyites have succeeded in sup- pressing Rainey. Rainey’s strength will be promptly measured when the list of the new 450 1s studied, and if it is any bigger than it is now it is expected that Max Pop- per and a lot of others who are especially hostile to Rainey will get out promptiy and declare war. b Two Small Fires. A one-story frame house &t the foot of Powell street, near the water, which had been used by Dunker Bros. asa piace for preserving wood, was destroyed by fire at an early hour on Sun. day morning, resulting in & loss of $2500. Another small fire broke out at 534 Wagnor's pork-pi street in the office o i - ing establishment at 1:30 o’clack this morning. But little damage was done. SAILORS' TALK. Unintelligible, Indeed, It Is to the Ma- Jjority of People. A landsman would never be able to un- derstand a sailor. For instance, sentences like these would floor Webster himself: “We was going along fluking when the wind wed ahead. We trimmed sail and in the fore and mizzen tor'garnsl, when a bit of a sea makin’ of her ya ‘Mind yer luff, you soger!” sings out th’ old man, an’ as he says this one of the jub | guys parted and sprung the boom, for ours were swinging booms, and had the for'd | guy and the after guy fitted in one, with | cuckhold’s neck around the boom end. Are | yer a followin’ of e, sir?”’ It is certain, however, that if a sailor bas to talk about his calling, he must use the language of the sea. There are no synonyms for ‘“‘sister blocks,’ ‘cat harpins,” “vangs” and the rest of the vocabulary. If a lawyer cannot under- stand how the bight of & rope can be whipped into a snatch biock without pass- ing the end through the sheave, there 1s nothing in language outside the terms of the marine statement of the process to enzble him to master the sailor’s meaning. Sailors’ talk, indeed, is a dialect as dis- tinct from our ordinary English words as Choctaw or Eskimo. English words are used, but their significance is utterly re- | mote from the meaning they have in | shore parlance. A yara ashore means the o house; at sea it is a spar. Every coachman and the majority of boys know what & whip is, but at sea it is a tackle formed by a single rope wove | through a block. | Alizard is not a reptile, but a piece of Tope with a thimble or ring spliced into it, | just as the cathead is a piece of timber and bees are stout pieces of plank.

Sailors’ language, however, is by no means wholly compounded by the terms referring to the various parts of the hip. ]Fardshi s, perils, rough usage, in- different food, scarcity of water ana the | like have imported a mass of rough say- | ings into the forecastle, many pf which | are sanctioned by touches of rude poetry.

BETTER TIMES FOR ART, A Revival of Patronage Seems to Be the Order of Things. KEITH SELLS HIS OLD WOMAN. Bruce Porter Still at Work on Stained | Seals for the University Club Windows. In commercial parlance, strong this year. The painters, sculptors and other people of artistic temperaments are beginning to discern a little better market than has been evident for the past few years.

Turkey’s Defenses of -the Dardanelles and What They Amount To. The Strait of the Dar&anelles, to which numerous references are now being made in the papers, is, as many know, a narrow and tortuous waterway of no great length leading in from the north Agzean to the inland Sea of Marmora. But what many do not know is that the Turkish fortifica- tions of the Dardanelles—at least those of any importance—are situated in a single locality in the vicinity of the squatty little Turkish town of Chanak-Kalesi (or the “Pottery Castle”), which lies on the Asiatic shore a few miles in from the mouth of the strait. One of these batteries—a low- lying fortification cdnstructed of mud, of rather clay, walls, facea here and there with stone—is situated at Chanak-Kales itself. Another is planted about two miles further northeast on the same shore, while immediately across the strait from Cha- {alesi other battlements have been ed on somewhat higher ground. Noue | of these defenses are especiaily formidable, as modern fortifications go, although it must be admitted that, inferior as they are in many resp they do mouxt some Krupp guns of modern construction d undoubted power, while torpedoes, it said, have lately been sunk in the chan- nel. Every now and then the Turkish Government buys a new gun, and sets it up at the Dardanelles with a sublime con- fidence that thereby the integrity of the em pire will be effectually secured. But the Turks understand little about the handling of these ereat guns, al- though the Osmanli soldiers are brave when well officered, and it is probable that in the event of actusl hostilities the gun- ners would soon be driven from these de- fenses and many of the guns themselves be dismounted (by the skillful fire at long range of a fieet lying just inside the lower strait) before the Osmanli garrison could discharge more than a few wild shots with their intricate but poorly managed ballistic apparatus. What really adds more to the strength of these doorway defenses of Tur- key, €0 to speak, than any qualities of the garrison In these forts,is the swift- ness of the currents and the tortu- ship channel of the Dardanelles. Yet it is not improbable that unless cripoled by a fire at long range a nervy and resolute captain of a modern battle-ship could run the gauntlet of the batteries before the bewildered gun- ners could adjust their artillery to the war- ship's varying range or succeed in accom- plishing more than a smashing of some of the vessel's upper works. Out of a fleet of half a dogen vessels endeavoring to force the pa ze of the Dardauelles, two would probably be disabled or would helplessly ground in maneuvering, while the balance woulq steam triumphantly past Gallipoli, at the upper end of the Dardaueiles, and thereafter have absolutely free course di- rectly to the Golden Horn and that part of the pretty Bosporus overlooked by the windows and modest facades of the Yildiz Palace. It is said that in tne old days of three- deckers an American Irigate, whose right of entrance had been challenged by the Tarks, hove to opposite Chanak (as the Orientals familiarly and almost affection- ately term the palace), fired a salute, and then, under cover of the smoke thus raised—for that before the days of “smokeless powde: made boldly up the strait for the Sea of Marmora before the Turks could recover from the astonish- ment or interpose any forcible remon- strance. Another American naval officer tells an amusing story of an exbverience that befell him when his ship was anchored off Chanak awaiting the re- ception of ‘‘pratique.”’ After some delay a boat was observed putting off from shore in the direction of the As the boat came alongside a dirty Turkish officer stood up in the stern sheets and pointing with his thumb in the generaldirection of Constan- tinople, exclaimed: ‘“Stamboula git!” The officer of the deck did not understand thg whole force of the expression (Go to Constantinople!), but with the quick wit ofa Yankee he instinctively divined the significance of the ‘‘git” (an im- verative from the Turkish verb gitmek), which seemed to pcssess a certain tresemblance’ to Yankee slang, and im- mediately gave orders to get the anchor aboard and bear away up the strait toward Stamboul as fast as the slow American tub could travel. Outgoing—that is, west- ward bound—vessels stop their engines abreast of a Turkish guardship no bigger than a North River tug, anchored about two miles above Chanak-Kalesi, and there the permission in documentary form, which they had received authorizing the navigation of the Turkish watersby them they deliver up before steaming on past Chanak out among the Greek islands of the Xigean. If a venturesome or ignorant merchant steamer on entering the strait presumes to pass on beyond a certain point a shot is fired across her bow, and the cost of the powder thus burned is col- lected scrupulously from the owners or agents of the vessel on her arrival at Stam- boul, as Oriental logic fails to comprehend why poor ‘Turkey should pay for any foreign disregard of her rules!” The Dar- danelles practically constitute the iront door of the Turkish empire (at least, as regards its westward exposure) whereat many would-be visitors are now ringing the bell. But the Turk is not at home to all callers, and just now is especially shy of such observers as foreign men-0 war that may be hanging around Besico Bay— a piece of water just off the famous plain of Troy, where Dr. Schliemann made his much-discussed discovery, which is read- ilz; reached by a few kours’ ride from Chanak-Kalesi along the southern shore of the Dardanelles and thence up and over a fine range of hllls that afford a magnifi- cent view of Samothrace, Imbros and other histeric islets of the blue Zgean.— Army and Navy Journal, BUDD'S IROQUOIS SPEECH The Braves Regard It as a Keynote of Good Gov- ernment.

Said Gavin McNab in speaking of it last night: e *‘Governor Budd’s speech has delighted me. Itsoundsthe keynote of good gov- | ernment for the State of California. The | crying evil of this State is public extrava- gance and excessive taxation. : “During the past three years incomes from every source have diminished. Land | values have fallen throughout a large area of the State from 30 to 60 per cent, conse- quent on low prices of produce. Wages have fallen—everything = has fallen but | taxes, which are enormously high. ¢ ““If the Governor can live up to the | spirit of his utterances, and give the peo- ple the relief for which’ they are prayin ne will be called blessed by the citizens o California without regard to party.”’ Mayor Sutro is not so enthusiastic about the speech, “Mr. Budd -is a politician,” he said. *“His remarks abont economy and the re- duction of asylums and the taxing of cor- | porations looks well—on paper. “How is it possible to reduce the num- | ber of asylums for the unfortunate insane | when at this time they are all crowded? | It is certain that none of the patients are there from choice, and, being unfortunate beings who must be restrained, they must be kept somewhere. “As to taxing corporations, I do not | know that our Legislature would havea | right to impose a special tax upon a cer- tain class. If the corporations paid what they honestly owe the Government there would be enough to meet the expenses of tne Goverment at a lower rate of taxation. The Government | | | tio ues from the corporations, but the poor g::n is forced to pay to almost the limit of roperty he owns. . i >3 th“fl"lm!\’-e js:m been reading an article in the Commonwealth, a socialistic F‘Pfl' I believe, upon this very subject. It is an ably written article that shows that tax- ation would decrease if corporations were made to pay the f,}overnmen! the amount should pay.” T . th’;{m addresr; that provokes this diversity, of opinion was delivered at the banquet of, the Iroquois Clubat Delmornico’s on Sat- urday night. % 2 James V. Coleman had prgceded him in an eloquent and frequently agplaudog_ speech to the toast ‘‘George Washington. They applauded what he said about the evidence that God had something to do with the making of this Government, and they equally applauded him when speak-: ing of the Itoquois Club. He said: 1 “‘Let us keep this club out of politics. Let it be a political club, yes; but for the advancement of the party, and not for the advancement of any individual.” Governor Budd came next, and his re- marks in response to the toast ‘“Califor- nia’’ were the feature of the evening. “‘I was nominated some months ago,” said Governor Budd, “‘on a platform which I have endeavored in my poor way to keep, though those pledges have coSt many friends I would fain have kept and many heart-burnings I wouid = fein have avoided.” Then the Governor plunged into economic matters. *‘We have in this State five insune asy- lums, and I doun’t think, from my investi- gations, that they are a sufficient num- ber. [Great applause.] We spend in the support of our asylums, our two State prisons and our two reform schools mil- lions every year. If these institutions were reducea to the scale of expenditures that would rule under private auspices a great saving would be possible. *“If "this ciub wants to teach and carry out the principles of Washington I may believe that there are two kinds of poli- tics—one for the benefit of the State and the other for the benefit of the individual, and follow the dictates of conscience. Everybody who applies for an office thinks that he is entitled to it, and everybody applies for the best office in sight [laughter], and nobody dare tell him that he is not the best man for that office. “In carrying out® my pledges in my pe- culiar way I have often been compelled to turn down {riends, but I made up my mind that what I could do to reduce taxes [ would do. In my appointments I have often erred, but I have done the best [ could. * “The last Legislature made appropria- mounting to $7.900.000 a year. 1 insisted that the balance against us be wiped out, and now the taxes for the next year ought to shrink to 44.6 cents, or less, within the tax levy. “‘Further reductions ought to be made. We ought_to wipe out one of our insane asylums. We ought to combize both our penitentiaries and our two reformatories in one. There should be a corporation tax for benevolent purposes, which would reise an immense sum and lighten the tax on the laboring classes. T believe thar California should have a uniform tax on wines and liquors, a portion of swhica should go to the support of the nstitu- tions I have mentioned.” John P.
