The rowers here have always been anx- 10us to try conclusions with Northern and Eastern rowers, but, owing to the difficulty of raising funds to make the trips, have had to confine their rowing propensities to home waters. In all probability, all the oarsmen who | will represent California will be from the | South End Club of this City, as this club | possesses the champion single scullers and barge crews of the coast. Their senior crew—whose personnel is as follows: Henry Bode (bow), Bob MacArthur (for- wardwaist and captain), Gus Carson | (afterwaist), Frank Duplissea (stroke) and George McGrill (coxswain)—is con- sidered invincible. The crew is not an exceedingiy heavy | one, but is composed of all trained ath- letes. They have defeated the best oars- men on the coast, and_have made better time than the South End’s professional barge crew. Frank Duplissea, the stroke of the crew, although 19 years old, holds the champion- ship of the coast in the single scull, and unless he is defeated by William McCaus- ide Henry Petersen, the champion | land reinr ntative in the single scull. {e is the son of George Duplissea, the captain of the celebrated Canadian tug-of- war team, and is 5 feet 10 inches tall, and weighs 150 pounds. He is looked upon as a coming world’s champion. The tower of strength of the crew is Gus Carson, the afterwaistman, whose rowing prowess is known all along the City front. Too much praise cannot be given Rob MacArthur, the famous athlete of the Olympic Club and captain of the crew, for the scientific manner in which he trains them for the contest. MacArthur hails from Toronto, Canada, and has taken les- sons from such celebrities as Ed Hanlan and O’Connor, Heary Bode, the bowman, has been row- ing boats from the time he was able to pull an oar, and is considered one of the best barge-rowers in the country. The pride of the crew is their coxswain, George McGrill, the champion coxswain of the next race will be California’s | A S HALLIDIE RETIRES, Was Fifteen Years the Presi- dent of the Mechanics’ Institute.

The summary of the report for the library during 1895-96, submitted by A. M. Jellison, shows an increase of 3475 vol- umes, making a total number on the shelves of 70,818. Mr. Hallidie read a concise statement of the work done during his fifteen years of service. 2 He recited that the institute had been in existence nearly forty-one years. On December 11, 1854, the first meeting was called to take measures to create“the society.

WILL SPEAK IN MANY TONGUES. An Oratorical Duello in Four Different Languages. GORI AND NATHAN. Anarchists and Socialists Will Argue Out Their Dif ferences. THE FRENCH TO “CHIP IN. But the Chief Combatints Will Be Most at Home in German and Italian, The anarchists of this City have for- mally challenged the socialists to meet them in a duel of words to-morrow night in Washington-square Hall. Pietro Gori, the head of the new anarchist party, has sent the following challenge to the Amer- ican sociausts: Sax F c1sco, Cal., March 7, 1896. To the Central mittee of the Socialist Labor Party—GENTLEMEN: 1 hereby formally invite the socialist party of San Francisco to send a special orator to the debate to take place Mon- day, March 9, at 8 P. &, at Washington-square Hall, Bersaglieri building, at®he corner of Stockton and Union streets, between the un- dersigned and L. Nathan. Theldebatelwill be between socialists and anarchists. Yours faithfully, Prereo GORL Arturo Conti, an active member of the American socialistic party, has charged himself with laying this letter to-night be- fore the socialists. The council does not meet till Tuesday, but it is probable that special action will be taken at once 1n re- ply to the anarchist invitation to come out and debate. The French Socialistic League met on Friday night in Apollo Hall and the members pledged themselves not to miss the oratorical duello which is to occur to-morrow. It is more than probable that there will be a *'red-hot” time during the progressof the debate. The meeting will resemble the neighborhood of the Tower of Babel, as far as the measure of tongues is con- cerned. The anarchist Gori speaks very little Englisn, but he can wax eloquent in French and Italian. Gori’s socialistic ad- versary, Nathan, knows no Italian, but he is an expert in throwing off gunsof oratory in English and German, and as the mem- bers of the French Socialistic League will *‘chip in” with remarks in the language of la belle France, there is every probabil- ity that the interpreters will have their hands full 1n keeping the orators from tangling themselves up in a confusion of tongues. Arturo Coati, the socialist who first ac- cused the anarchists of not being all his fancy had painted them, looks upon the coming debate more in sorrow than in anger. “Iregret tosay that I have found the anarchists to be confusionists,” he said last night. *It is truethat I presided at Gori's first two lectures, but that was be-. cause they could not find anyone at the lsst minute to take the chair and Idid it to oblige them. Gori represented that his party intended first to secure socialism and so far I was with him. I do notcon- sider him capable of duplicity; on the con- trary he strikes me as being very sincere, but the more I learn of his views the less 1 can coincide with them.” The first rock on which Mr. Conti and his fellow-socialists split with the anar- chists was on the auestion of the ballot. “They do not believe in voting,”’ said Mr. Conti. *‘Infact, they do not seem to know what they do want. Goriteaches that there is to be a great revolution, and peo- ple will live happily ever afterward, but how can a revolution be brought about if there are to be no heads to command it— no leaders? They do not believe in getting power by means of the ballot—no one isto have any power. . “We ieve in the majority ruling, but they think that if one man kicks against the will of a million, he has just as much right to carry his own way as the million bave. That sort of reasoning seems to me to lead to nothing but confusion.” Even the people of Arturo Conti’s opin- ion, however, own that Pietro Gori has quite a strong following in the Italian quarter, and there is considerable interest in seeing who will get the better of the de- bate. Every one will be admitled, and no restrictions of age, nationality or tongue will be placed upon the speakers. What- ever else the meeting may prove to be, it wiud certainly be entirely unique of its kind. LIFE INSURANCE. A California Company *‘ Distances’” All Competitors. The report of Hon. M. R. Higgins, In- surance Commissioner of California, has just been published, and below we give some very interesting figures taken: there- from: e The Bankers’ Alliance of Los Angeles did by far the largest business in the State among the life companies, the amount written being $5,706,750 n 1805, against $2,048,750 in 1894 The amount in force in California December 31, 1894, was $5,578,750, and on December 31, 1895, $9,343,- 000, showing an 1ncrease of $3,764,250 dur- ing 1895. The New York Life wrote in 1894 $6,753,- 000, but fell back to $3,696,670 in 1895. The lapses of this company in the State for 1895 were $6,177,000, or $2,480,330 more than the new business written. ‘We find that the Equitable Life wrote but $2,054,399 in 1895, while it wrote $3,888,- 723 in 1894. The lapses in 1895 were $2,892,- 035, or $837,636 more than written in the same time. —————— DEFECTIVE SEWER PIPE. A Large Lot Seized on the Street by Expert George W. Elder. George W. Elder, the street expert of the Board of Supervisors, made an important capture of a large lot of unserviceable sewer-pipe on D street, between First and Fifth avenues, yesterday. Street con- tractors have been putting in a sewer in the blocks mentioned, and Mr. Elder had occasion in his regular rounds to inspect the materials that had been carted there for use. Out of 300 or 400 feet of pipe on the ground he found that fully half was badly cracked, some of it also showing signs of disintegration. 'he unserviceable pipe, which came from San Jose, was condemned and the con- tractors will be compelled to get a new supply before being allowed to resume work. — - e CHARGED WITH PERJURY. Manuel E. Oliver Arrested on Complaint of His Wife’s Mother. Manuel E.

Rosie in court yesterday testified that she told Oliver she was 19 years of age, and the Judge was about to dismiss the case when Mrs. Brady started from her seat and declared that Oliver has a wife in Ne- vada City. Oliver admitted tbat he at one time had a wife, but the records of the Su- perior Court would show that he was di- vorced from her over two years ago. The case was continued till Monday to enable the court to ascertsin the truth of Oliver's assertion. CARNIVAL OF ROSES. ©O. Dunbar Describes the Prepara- tions for the Santa Rosa Festival In May. C. 0. Dunbar, secretary of the Santa Rosa Rose Carnival and chairman of the ‘rans- portation committee, was in the City yes- terday on business connected with the car- nival. He was very enthusiastic over the present prospects for a splendid fete of flowers and merriment in the rose city of Sonoma. “My business here,”” he said, ‘‘was main- ly to look after transportation of visitors to Santa Rosa. [ had an interview with the managers of the Donahue road, and while no definite arrangements can be made un- til the board of directors meet, I was given reason to believe that the company intends treating Santa Rosa handsomely this time —even batter than in the past. *That is, we are almost certain of a $1 rate return from San Francisco, and that trains will be run late at night from Santa Rosa during the carnival to give you peo- le down here a chance to enioy the even- ings with us. “All the towns in the valley have fallen in line this year and are standing by C. Santa Rosa. There will also be a carnival at Healdsburg. Already we have nearly $3000 collected for expenses, and that is just three times as much as we had last y. “Our plans at present are for eight bean- tiful arches of flowers and evergreens typi- cal of Flora’s presence among us; there will be no bunting or other material to mar the general effect. Everything with us is to be part and parcel of the car- nival of roses, and so to be distinctive in itself and in harmony with the floral dis- plays and also the spirit of the occasion. “Our programme is practically com- pleted. e are considering plans fora magnificent “electric display in which lights will be strung from the courthouse dome to the four sides of the square, There will be a big bicycle meet, and the races are to continue during the three days of the carnival, April 30 and May 1| and 2. The new bicycle-track, built ex- gresnly for this tournament, is almost nished. It will, I understand, be one of the best in the State. *‘On the first day suitable preparations will be made for the grand coronation of the rose Queen at night. The second day will be the floral parade and a ball in the evening, when Governor Budd and his staff will be present. The battle of roses will take place after the parade.
