Reports had come from Chicago and other centers from time to time of anarchist doings, but the Far West knew none of these things except by he: Ail that is changed now, how- ever. One of the most brilliant anarchists of modern times has been in this City making an active propaganda for several weeks, and the resalt of his instructions is that the local anarchists now feel them- selves strong enough to organize formally. If Pietro Gori had spoken in English in- stead of Italian, as he has been doing, the largest hall in the City would probobly have been too small to accommodate his listeners. He is not only a convincing speaker, this young lawyer who was ex- iled from home and country on account of his fanatical devotion to the principles of Proudbon, but he is an orator of the type that sways the multitude, and lately he s been exercising his oratorical powers a tongue unknown to the City Fathers, it is true, but & tongue in which he has found many rteady listeners. The result of his eloquence will be seen in a few days in the formal orzanization of a band of narchists in San Francisco.

The date ur formal banding together is not yet fixed, but it will probably be in a few When Signor Gori attempted to organize 8 band of anarchists in Switzerland he was promptly vellea from that land of libert; Amon 1 the continental coun- tries of Europe there is not one that gives its people more individual liberty than the little Alpine republic, but the authori- ties draw the line at incipient anarchist organizations. When Mr. Gori was ex- pelled from Switzerland be was associated | with a newspaper 1n iugano, where his brilliant yen was beginning to make him a power in the canton. The editors of the paper managed to es- cape being mixed up in the anarchist fair, though some suspicion of aiding provaganda fell upon them at the me. It wasa great grief to Gori to be exiled from Lugano, for from theadjoining ountains he could look down upon the plain of Lombardy and the city of Milan, from whence his principles had caused n to be exiled by the Iltalian Govern- nent, Although an anarchist boaststhat he has untry and no fatherland, Gori must felt being banishea from the frontiers y, for when forced to leave Switzer- Adieu to Lugano,” of Ttaly land heé wrote & poem which is considered one of the finest con- tributions to modern Italian poetry. Rumor says that Mr. Gori was also ban. ished from England for preaching too pro- nounced a type of anarchy, but this has not been proved. Indeed the anarchist himself says that the peopie who share his belief always advise their followers to go to the Continent when they feel the de- sire to throw bombs grow too strong to be controlled, for that England has.not shown herself inhospitable enough to the brotherhood to deserve being subjected to such inconvenieaces as bomb-throwers. Whether he was banished from England or not Gori came to America . resolved to devote his most remarkable talents to making a propaganda in -this country. There is little doudbt but that he is_the agent of a society that exists in the East and is affiliated with similar organizations in Europe, only in the older and less free countries more caution has to be observed | and the propaganda has to be carried on | to a great extent in secret. Santo Ceesario | was banished from Italy for distributing | anarchist handbills which were very mild | indeed compared to some of the brilliant flights of oratory in which Pietro Gori has indulged. With his talents, Pietro Gori could be making a fortune 4t the bar, for he is a lawyer by profession, but he has the bes of anarchy in his bonnet, and has sworn to live and die for the cause. Every one knew when he arrived in_San Francisco, that he was not here for his health. fore he had been a da; winning manners and 1a bim followers. Be- | in the City his| cile tongue won | During the weeks that he | Dbas talked in public and private, he has been, as he himself says, “‘sowin the | seeds of anarchy.” ~ The crop is almost | ready for the harvest now, and in the | course of a few days the result of Gori's | labors will be seen 'in Wie organization of the first band of anarchists west of the Rockies. There is great interest in the Italian colony in the performance ‘of Pietro Gori’'s two plays, which will take place next Sunday evening in Apollo Hall. Both works have been_highly spoken of | by the eri n Italy. The drama which will be performed first is called *‘Proximus Tuus” (Thy Neighbor). It takes its name | from a statue by afamous Italian sculptor, | Tepresenting a’ woman in_the depths of | poverty and called “Thy Neighbor” in a Bpirit of satire at the way in which the ex- | isting state of society fails to fulfill the Scriptural injunction of loving its neigh- | bor as itself. The scene of ““Proximus Tuus” is laid in a pawnshop. The other play, “11 Primo Maggio” (The First of May), deals with social questions, and is said to show itswriter to be a disciple of Ibsen in his dramatic methods., It is | rich ore in the north end of the mine | It is cited as a signiticant fact that Super- | the car sample is really the fairer test of amateurs will perform the plays.

A Jury in the Haskell Cnse Would Not ’ Obey the Court’s Order. | 3 | B.G. Haskell was before Judge Bahrs | yesterday on a trial for émbezzlement. | The complaining witness, William H. | Young, alieged that Haskell collested | $1000 upon a compromise of a case in which | he was interested. and that he turned over | no part of it to its rigntful owner. Haskell | was retained for 25 per cent of the receipts of the case, and so of the $1000 he should | have turned over $750 to Young. | The defense or cross-examination drew | out the fact that the complaining witness | had on May 13 accepted Haskell’s nete for | the $750. The compromise had been made on February 14. This acceptance, the defense contended, was an _admission on the part of the defense that Haskell was a debtor and not an embezzler of Young’s money. 2 When the prosecution had closed its case counsel for defendant moved for an instruction to acquit upon the theory, as stated, that Haskell was not an embezzler. The jury was ordered out, but the jurymen did not agree. They refused to acquit upon the instruction of the court and they were finally taken back into court to listen to the testimony of the defense. The case | will, therefore, continue to-d BOTH FOUR YEARS OLD.

Within sight of its doors and only a few feet away are three exits, two to the streets and one to the basément of the hall, while the main corridor of the hall with exits at either end 1s but a few steps away. The stairway to-the basement, with its dark, damp corridors and labyrinth of pas- sages, is almost directly opposite the doors of the treasury and could easily be reached by an active man in five seconds. Once in the basement any one of a half dozen exits could be used before the alarm coula be given.

Where’s me pick?”’ These were some of the variety of yells beard on the udiversity campus yesterday afternoon when the entire corps of stu- dents lined up for a “dirt rush,” as they called it. Regent Reinstein looked over his noisy army of laborers, then at the carts, wheelbarrows and other grading im- plements and wondered if the Varsity athletes would tackle the banks of earth to be moved as they would have tackled a Stanford team on the foot- ball fieid. He had called upon them to expend some surplus mus- Rah, for Rein- and they had 1esponded four or five hundred strong. Rut Falstaff never looked over so motely an array as greeted the regent’s eye.

Morrow. The contest which Jeremiah Lynch is making to wrest the control of the Hale | & Norcross mine from the present board | of directors is receiving marked attention in mining circles. He avers distinctly that it is not his purpose to close down the mine if he gets control, but on the other hand he does propose to introduce meth- ods of reform and economy in the man- agement. He says, however, that the mine had better be closed than kept run- ning under what he calls “‘the waste and extravagunce of the present board.” In an interview last evening Mr. Lynch said: “Since my recent visit to Virginia City | I am convinced that the mine can be | worked profitably to the stockholders. | Yet, when I consider that since the first | decision of the Superior Court was ren- lered four years ago the sum of $300,000 has been taken from stockholders in as- sessments, and in addition to that $100,000 | has been squandered, I cannot be blamed for saying that it would be better to close | down than continue running under such waste and extravagance.” “They take out an average of four tons a day, and here anda in Virginia City thirty people are employed, all of whom live like vampires on the stockholders.” Mr. Lynch was asked what_success he | had met with so far in his efforts to get | | the support of stockholders for a change of | management, and his reply was: | “There is every prospect that I will con- | trol a vast majority of the stock before the | | day of election. Stockholders are coming to my office every day giving offers of sup- | port. No, I cannot tell you now how | many shares of the stock we control, but we will get enough, and no mistake. The | | chief objection, I find, comes from the | directors. Of the seven directors six of them do not own more than five shares apiece. They have no more interest in {the mine than a Congo African. Of | course, they want to keep themselves in | office, and flourish of the expense of stock- | | holders. | “They have circulated the absurd ramor,” continued Mr. Lynch, ‘‘that I have made | an alliance with Robert F. Morfow to get | control of Hale & Norcross. Now, I want to affirm distinctly that I have not made ; an alliance with Mr. Morrow or with any | other person who does not own stock. T | rely for support in this contest on stock- holders who are weary of payving assess- ments to perpetuate a career of waste and mismanagement. Since seeing the mine I am convinced that there should be no as- sessment this year, and that mining ope- rations should not be suspended. In Jan- uary of this year the present board ex- ended $7000." The work performed could Knve been done lor $4000.” . Mr. Lynch mentioned that there was which could be worked to the profit of the stockholders, but, he saig, it did not serve the purpose of the present directory to work it. In the Superior Court, when Judge Heb- bard found that $750,000 should be re- | turned to Hale & Norcross, he based his estimates on car samples attesting the value of the ore. The Supreme Court in- dicated that a battery sample would have been a better or fairer test of the ore value. intendent Ryan subsequently testified that after a battery clean-up had been made, showing $26 to the ton, there was found in the mortar additional gold which brought the value up to $39 ver ton. From this it appears to Mr. Lynch that the two. No oae, he avers, can approxi- mate how much gold the mortars had withheld in the Comstock. The mills have always been Enying on the battery sample, when much of the gold wasnot then shown. The principal value 6f Hale & Norcross to-day is the Jegal assets. The sum of $1,000,000 is aue the stockholders, and Mr. Lynch is confident that it will be paid. The proper method to pursue, in the jude- ment of Mr. Lynch. is to run the mine econcmically, cut off high-salaried vam- described as a symbolic arama, and has a prologue in verse.

All are fully loaded and ready for an_emergency, which, while it is hoped will not arise, has been fully prepared for. Shortly after the daring robbery of the Market-street Savings Bank, when the highwaymen succeeded in getting away with $3600, and which warned the police that a desperate gang of bank thieves had begun operations in this City, an intima- tion was received that suspicious-looking characters had been seen spying about the City treasury. Not long “after, through one of those mysterious sources which is such a puzzle to the average man, information was re- ceived that ap attempt would be made two loot the treasury and carry away the con- tenis of some of the many trays of shining gold which can be seen through the nar- ;ow windows whure the cashier holds orth. Information of this kind seldom comes to the authorities first hand, but often filters through a dozen mouths before it reaches the ears that are ever eager for such matters and then the silent, unassum- ing looking men of the detective force be- gin to trace the stories through their devious wiidings until they are shown to have foundation or to be mere rumors. How the story of the contemplated raid on the treasury finally reached the police will perhaps never be known, but it did come to them, and within one hour trusted men were quietly at work on the case. That the detectives found good grounds for a belief that the desperadoes were con- templating a raid is evidenced by the prompt action of Treasurer Widber in preparing to give them a warm reception. ‘Within a day or two of the time when the warning was received he visited the estab- lishment of R. Liddle & Co., the Mont- gomery-street gun dealers, and purchased a small arsenal. He first picked out two 10-gauge shot- gunsof modern pattern. These weapons are capable, with a charge of five drams of powder and an ounce and a half of buckshot, of tearing a human body in a trightful manner at any distance up to thirty yards. The charge would be calcu- lated to kill at'even three times that dist- ance, and not only are these guns cruel weapons but they are handy and wonder- fully accurate. Next Mr. Widber picked out five revolvers, four of 38 cagiber and one of 41. The latter is fully as effective as a rifle at short distances, and the others are handy weapons for close range fight- ing. Cartridges, holsters and other acces- sories made up the array that was at once installed in the treasury.

The proceeds of success would have been great, for each day when the vaults are opened heavy trays of golden eagles, double and half eagles are carried out and placed within reach of the cashier’s hands. lars, the total in the treasury being more than a million dollars, and the loot would only be limited by the ability of the rob- bers to carry their burdens. THE RAILROAD SCORED. Wells, Fargo & Co. Says It Has Been Overcharged. At a meeting of the Harbor Commission- ers yesterday R. R. Swain, the new archi- tect, filed his bond and thé contract was signed by the Commissioners. Swain’s bondsmen for the faithful building of the new ferry depot are the members of the American Surety Company of New York. E. Mason Cooper and Henry W. Titus of Wells, Fargo & Co. appeared before the board in regard to the charges made by the Southern Pacific Railroad for the accommodation given the express com- -pany. - Mr. Cooper said plainly that the tailroad was charging them tolls on more goods than they shipped. “I have looked into the matter,” said Commissioner Cole, tand I have come to the conclusion that the Southern Pacific 'is charging $125 for ®oods that should not have aggregated more than $70 or $80 in tolls.” After Mr. Titus haa explained that they were paying rent to the commission for space and also had to pay tolls to the railroad the Commissioners decided to take the matter under advisement. Presi- dent Colnon, however, told Messrs. Cooper and Titus that the matter of tolls would have to be arranged by themselves with the Southern Pacific, but that for the space occupied by Welis-Fargo charges would be regulated so as to give exact jus- tice to all.

As a rule, few precautions are taken to guard against a stroke of light-' ning, especially in the merchant service. B Rear-Admiral Dale, commander of the Britis. flying squadron, first saw active service at the capture of the Peiho forts, in the Chinese war of 1858. Itis said that his superiors look upon him as a man who may be depended upon to do nothirg rash or incousiderate, 5 shed and even the dreary precincts of the “‘old clo’ man” for a suitable and odd cos- tume for the occasion. The old battered plug hats, bearing the dents of hard-fought rushes, tattered ten- nis suits and even the overalls and jumper of the legitimate laborer were brought out for this extraordinary occasion. There were recitations in the forenoon, but many of them were cut short. so anxious were the members of the classes to .getinto their “Jabor-day’’ regimentals, Many of the students provided them- selves with short clay pipes, which they inverted between their teeth as they plied pick and shovel, as the proper thing for wurkin’ on the grade.” A few sweet ‘‘co-eds’’ ventured out to look at their Varsity brathers, but the ap- pearance of that burlesque battalion was not imposing in its beauty. They were wise in their generation when they de- clined to provide luncheon for that gang. Dainty sandwiches and foamy coffee handed around by lovely scholastic wait- resses-would have been out of place in that mob. Beans and bacon and flapjacks would have been a fitting fare for them, so they themselves said, and they were proud oi their rough exteriors. Captain Ransome of the Varsity foot- ball team appointed himself the chief of the c?wbar gang, and during the day drilled deep hoies in the globe to encour- age his squad in [Eying bowlders out of their primal bed. He had an able coad- jutor in ex-Captain Sherman, whose nowledge of geology made him valuable in the rock-lifting line. ‘Wittenmeyer, also of the football team, was the big king of spades, and his gang of shovelers went at tte banksof earth like the Light Brigfue against the Russian patteries at :Balaklava. Fred Koch, cap- tain of the track athletics, was chief of the departmenc of repairs, and was most active in seeing that none of the wheelbarrows were broken by the too enthusiastic work- men. . Clay Gooding, a prize baseballist, drove a dump-cari with the skill of a Grecian charioteer in the Olympian games. He was gotten up in a pair of duck trousers, a fuzzy Dan McCarthy white hat and a tennis ?cket that was louder than a col- lege yell. ditor Hirst of the Daily Berkeleyan was chief of the engineers and pointed out grades to the workmen. Lieutenant Mee of the University Battalion ewptied. the dump-carts, and Captain Johnson of the baseball team 1nstructed him in his duties. Brick Morse, one of the musical prodigies of the Glee Club, was the Hebe of the day and passed around the water- bucket with unflagging zeal. Walter Magee was the jehu of cart No. 1, with Editor Fisher of the University Magazine as hisunderstudy. Athlete Dorn of ham- mer-throwing fame was the boss of the barrows. At 1 o'clock the battalion, headed by the band playing the “Honeymoon March,” tramped down to the scene of their lalors, where Superintendent Mc- of the Association of Students addressed] the squads drawn u Lh under their respec- tive officers. He told them in stirring words that from the tops of yonder coast range twice forty centuries were looking down at them. The eyes of the Republic, of Stanford, of Liuuckalani, of the com- | ing Legislature, of Salisbury ana of the Transvaal were on them. He concluded his effort when a Cicer- oian clod of earth struck him between the shouliders and the students sailed in. The dirt flew. One gang ‘worked on the main road-leading across the campus and the larger company shoveled into the un- even ground in front of the north build- ing. Some of the soil there is exceedingly rocky and the young fellows soon found | that working on the grade is not play. | But they stuck industriously to their job and their shovels began to make a show- ing. The unusual spectacle of the stu-| dents doing real old-fushioned work on | their campus attracted a large number of | visitors, who were as amused at the gro- tesque costumes of the laborers as at the gravity of their manners. 3 President Kellogg, Regent Reinstein and Professors Soule and Randall made their | rounds among the Jaborers, and the class in civil engineering took grade sights around the grounds. Lieutenant-Colonel Bush, the brand-new officer on the staff of | Governor Budd, in brown jumper and | overalls, looked anything but military among the dump carts and wheelbarrows. | At 4 o’clock the bugle sounded the ‘‘re- | treat,” and work stopped for the day. | However, the laborers were not quitesatis- | fied with their exertions. A freshman w seen walking across the campus with a | broken shovel handle in his hand. The | cry of “a freshman with a canel” was raised, and a score of sophomores pounced | upon him. | His class in turn charged down to his Tescue, and soon the hottest kind of a “‘cane ‘rush” was in evidence. The two | rival classes tugged and tackled and fought for that shovel like savages. Other classes formed flying wedges and flung themselves into the mass of struggiing students with irresistible force. Regent Reinstein, fear- ing that some one would be injured as the young feilows rolled and floundered over their prize, tried the power of the regency upon the boys and endeavored to get the broken shovel away from them; but a flying wedge struck him and he was lost in the confusion. Finally the ‘‘rush’ ended, and the first “]labor day” at the State Uni- versity was over. To-day and to-morrow the work will go on,unless the threatening rainstorm makes labor impossible THE CASE COMPROMISED, Paderewski’s Secretary Acknowl- edges an Old Debt and Squares Accounts. The Action of J. S. Reid Against | Hugo Gorlitz Settled Satisfac- torily to All Parties. The case of 4. 8. Reid against Hugo Gor- | litz, which was on trial before Justices | Barry and Kerrigan, has been settled sat- | isfactorily to all parties, The action was | on an assigned claim of G. Verdier & Cc., proprietors of the ‘‘City of Paris” store. | It was claimed that this firm gave credit to Mr. Gorlitz some seventeen years ago for eertain dresses and other material to be used in the production of “Pinafore,” in which opera the wife of Mr. Gorlitz | took part. | Mr. Gorlitz, being obliged to- leave the State about that time in the pursuit of his business, d'd not have an opportunity to | settle the bill until bis recent arrival here as the secretary of the great Paderewski. A question of law was presented as to Whet?xe:r this old account bore interest and the suit, which was yesterday dismissed, was the result. At the tral of the case the defense was that the goods had been furnished at the request of Fred Lister, the manager of the ““Pinafore’’ opera. and that he, not Mr. Gorlitz, was liable for the | bill. The memories of the witnesses were not of the best after the lapse of seventeen years, but the production of several letters of Mr. Gorlitz, in which he recognized the debt as his own and promised to adjust it, recalled the old transaction and presented tbe case in a new lignt to the defendant. In a spirit of fairness and with a desire to do full justice to a firm that had treated him kindly Mr. Gorlitz made overtures after the case had been tried and submit- ted to pay the principal in fuli, and also offered to pay a portion of the accrued in- terest. Mesrs, Verdier & Co. promptly ac- cepted the offer and the annoying litiga- tion ended. While on the witness-stand Mr. Gorlitz testified that he had always been treated with the utmost fairness by the **City of Paris,”’ and that put at rest any rumor of harsh treatment sufferea by him at the hands of the proprietors.: He said that he still entertained for the firm the highest respect, and Mr. Fusenot of the “City of Paris” expressed himself as entirely satistied with the settlement. The incident closed with the best of feel- ing on the part of the principals and their attorneys. —————— Mrs. Dimmick, who.is to wed General Harrison, married Walter Dimmick, a brilliant young lawyeér, fifieen years ago.

CATAFALQUE UNDER THE FLAG The Officers of the Colombo Were Present and Crowds Filled the Church. The Ttalian church on Dupont street was crowded yesterday morning at the solemn requiem mass in memory of the Italian soldiers who fell at Amba Alagi, in Abyssinia, fighting for théir country. So great was the crush that those who could not obtain seats stood in the rear of the church, and when no more standing- room was to be found people stationed themselves on the steps leading to the building. No special decorations had been pre- pared in the church. On the main door of the building was an inscription stating that the Italians of San Francisco prayed to the God of armies for the peace and eternal repose of their departed brethren who fell like heroes for their country and for civilization at Amba Alagi. Near the high altar was a catafalqae surrounded by candles and adornea with the Italian flag. Professor Spadina directed: the musical art of the mass, which was by Decio Monti. Miss Adele Rottanzi and William Ladd sang the solos, and Signor Rossa Laraja, the violinist, played some of tha mstrumental parts. Mrs. L. Stefani, Mrs, Spadina, Miss W. Spadina, Miss Cathering Daneri. Miss Gleason and otber violinists also assisted. Among those present at the mass were Commander Bertolino® of the Colombo, Lie utenant- Commander Presbitero, Cav.
