Gougar addressed a large audience at the Young Men’'s Christian Association on, “*Give Us Work or Give Us Bread; or A Way Out for the Unem- ployed,’” last evening. The lady said: I thank God for organized labor in this coun- try. [Applause.] It means intelligent labor. It means better conditions for workingmen. Nothing happens. Everything is an effect of some moving cause. You all have some idea of the cause of the hard times. The good Re- publican brother, for_instance, thinks it is the tariff. But do_you know that the difference between the MeKinley and Wilson bills is 17,000 of revenue? The organ of that strongest band of traitors in America, the National Protective Associa- tion of Liquor Dealers, said at the time of Repaublican triumph: ““We will be safe as long @s the two parties are twisting each other’s ears over tariff.” The same statement was re- peated when Democrats triumphed. You may ot know it, but while you have been wrangling over tariff the liquor king, with head in England, has been voting every mother son of you. Politicians _have insisted in_ bringing for- ward that old cadaver, tariff, when they should busy themselyes in lowering the single gold standard. : 1 believe the land viueslmn is one that should engage ourstudy. Iwish we hada Congress that_would refuse to withhold for monopolies or plutocrats the lands of this country [ap- plause]; would interfere with the attempt to establish the English landlord system in Cali- forma. Don’t talk to me of overproduction. There 18 an overproduction of only one article in this country, and that is political cussedness. Until & man has three good, fat meals a day don’t talk_about overproduction. Under-con- sumption is what i§ the matter with that man. There isa new_and dangerous English in- vasion that needs to be resisted. Let the Englishmen who haye interests in breweries and distilleries in this country be sent back to their country poorer but wiser men. A way out for the unemployed is the direc- tion of the money that flows into the coffers of the liguormen into the channels that tend to- w-rd?mmes. If we might be allowed to give 52000 from the liquor’ license each to the omeless men of Chicago for instance, and therewith puying & 25-foot lot and erecting a cozy home in the suburbs, how advantageously 6 might expend the money to the benefit of families, and what & boom there would be 1n outside lots! 1 would see the margin of license expended in clothing and food and mforts ot home. * - O arroil D. Wright estimates that 10,000 children dle from staryation in New York, and that one-tenth of the dead of that ciz‘; are bur- ied in the potters field. Why 1s this? The 10,000 saloons of Gotham answer. The settlement of the labor question lies in diverting the stream of wealth from the liquor interests. g Mrs. Gonear will speak at the Young Men’s Christian Association at3 P. M. to- day on ‘“‘Crime and the Liquor Traffic, the third free lecture. In the evening she will address an audience at the Weet Side Christian Church, on Bush street, between Scott and Devisadero. ———————— Something About Jewelry.

HER TWO SAWED-OFF GUNS. First Day’s Work of Her Crew—A Public Reception to Be Given on Board. { Lieutenant-Commander Louis H. Tur- ner, United States Naval Reserve, hoisted | his pennant aboard of the monitor Com- | anche at Mare Island yesterday and the { old ironclad, after thirty years of idleness, | went into commission. There was none of the usual formalities. The colors went up and the vessel passed quietly under the control of the State of California. Early yesterday morning Captain Tur- ner, Lieutenant Gunn and Lieutenant | Dennis, with a detachment of the battalion, in the harbor tug Markham, which had been detailed for that duty, proceeded to i he had given the information to the re- .THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 15, 1896. Lieutenant Elliot, who brought a fresh crew to assist those aboard the monitor. Arriving off Harrison street about 7 o'elock in the evening the vessel was moored in the berth assigned her, the stay-lamp lighted and she was left in charge of the ship-keeper, Cockswain John Lund. To Captain Petzinger of the tug Markham, who managed his unwieldy tow so skillfully, much credit for the success of the undertaking is due. As the battalion is desirous of making some small immediate repairs on its ves- sel and if possible put a new deck in her, they intend soon to give a Sunday recep- tion on board to raise funds for that pur- pose. As the Comanche, though an old- type monitor, is in good condition and well worth a visit, the plan of the young men will doubtless meet the approval of the public. The admirer of naval progress will then note the gap of thirty years be- tween the Comancge and the Monterey. JUDGE CAMPBELL ANGRY. He Is After the Scalps of a Policeman and a Reporter. Judge Camnvbell is aftér the scalps of Policeman Con Donahue and a reporter on the Bulletin owing to an article that ap- Eeared in Thursday’s paper, in which the udge was charged with trying to make away with a piece of paper containing evi- dence of forgery against Charles Murray and Eugene Sullivan, two men arrested for petty larceny. Yesterday morning, when the case was again called, the Judge asked Donahue if porter, and Donahue denied having done 80. “I will allow no one,” said the Judge, ALONG THE WATER FRONT Narrow Escape of the Canadian Pacific Company’s’ Steamer Miowera, SPRANG A LEAK WHILE AT SEA Charlie Fair’s Yacht Lucero in Col- lision Again—Now Preparing for a Cruise. The Canadian Pacific Company’s steamer Miowera, from Australia, had a narrow es- cape on her last voyage. She left Byaney for Vancouver, B. C., but when two days out it was discovered that she was leaking badly. The pumps were set to work, but they could not keep the water down and some of the furnace fires were put out. The steamer was run back for port, and after great labor on the partof the crew | finally reached there. The bilges were cleared, the pumps put in good order, and theleak stovped, but just as the vessel was ready for sea it was found [Sketched by a “Call” artist.] THE MONITOR COMANCHE, TOWED BY THE GOVERNOR MARKHAM TO SAN FRANCISCO. the navy-yard, where they found the Com- anche ready for her departure. The Mark- ham hooked on, the shorelines were cast off and the trip began. The monitor was a little rusty from her long sleep, and the rudder-chains ran creakingly through their sheaves, but she swung around to her helm, and the water rippled along her sides as she went out into the stream. Captain H. N. Turner, the father of Lieutenant-Commander Turner, took the wheel, with two seamen, to over- come whatever tendencies the Comanche t have to ram tbe Independence as passed down the straits. All thesteam w histles of the yard blew the monitor a * good-by,”” and ber old mooring place was vagant, . san Pablo Bay the tide, vegim- ning its ebb, helped the tow, and the great mass was dragzged along at a good speed. The Monadnock went by about a mile to starboard dipping her ensign in a sis- | terly salute. During all the way down Captain Turner, with his entire crew, worked mdustriously getting his moorings ready. They consist of a large float weigh- ing several tons and a ponderous 23,000~ pound sinker, which will hold the monitor against the southeasters and fierce tides of San Francisco Bay. Notwithstanaing her age the Comanche proves how well the Navy Department takes care of its vessels. The engines are as bright and clear as if they had been placed in the hull yesterday, and the roomy apartments below show where fresh paint and the scrubbing-brush have been used. A machinist and fireman have been sta- tioned in the monitor during her long rest at the yard, and every day the boilers, en- gine-room, turret and turret-chamber and the guns have been examined. The engine has been turned over, the turret revolved, the battery run out and in. Three men, enlisted at Mare Island for special service, will remain aboard and continue to care for the vessel and ber machinery. They will also exercise diligence in guarding against fire, for which an alarm will be iven by the rapid ringing of tne ship’s gell and the closing of the ports and hatches to prevent any draft of the flames. The steering wheel of the Comanche is on top of the turret, where 'is also located the iron conning-tower for the accommo- dation of the belmsman when shot and shell are whistling painfully near him. The turret itself holds the two big, old-fash- ioned smooth-bore 15-inch guns that were considered dangerous a quarter of a cen- tury ago. Their muzzles, when run out, look through two narrow slots at the world around them. The guns do not protrude through the wall of the turretas in the Monterey and Monadnock, but fit snugly against the port | to fill up the aperture, thus preventing the | smoke of the discharge from blowing back |into the turret and suffocating the gun- { ners. The pieces have the appearance of | being sawed off like an express messenger’s shotgun. The guns are moved and the | turret revolyed by compressors and levers from within the structure. It sweeps { around on a central pivot carrying the two great guns easily and smoothly in an en- tire circle at the will of the operator. The vessel has muth more deck room | than the Monterey or Monadnock, being more convenient to the crew as an open crilling place. She is fitted with the four handsome black boats belonging to the battalion, besides the fine, swift steam launch received a few days ago from the navy-yard. Besides the heavy mooring, float and sinker she is provided with a mushroom- shaped anchor, which is drawn up through a well in the hull, near the stem, when the Monitor is under way. It is never visible when the vessel is afloat and its existence is only known by its weight on the cable. The only thing in poor repair is the deck, which is rotten as punk, but as tue plank- ing is laid upon an iron deck thereis no danger of the naval reserve going down be- low through the seams. An effort has! been made to protect the deck by a thick coat of tar covered with sawdust, which gives the big platform a sort of prize-ring appearance, 4 Captain Turner and his officers and crew took charge of the ironclad like old men- of-war’s men. The young fellows worked faithfully and cheerfully all day at the aifficult labor of getting the cumbersome moorings ready, proving that the State’s Naval Battalion has the right stuff in it, and would make a good showing should they be called upon to fight their craft against a hostile ship. Lieutenant-Commander Turner is a master mariner, a practical seaman, and is enthusiastic in bis efforts to bring the re- serve up to a high standard of proficiency, consequently he is Elelud that the naval militia has a drill ship, even if her battery and herself is of a past day. : At the entrance to San Francisco Bay the Comanche was joined by her new “'to cast aspersions on myselt or this court, | and 1 shall demand an investigation before | the Police Commissioners., If they find the officer not guilty, then I shall take | steps to_have the reporter cited for con- | tempt of court.” WSS ANTHONY ARANES vate Secretary, Mrs. Emma B. Sweet. | ‘Thme Veteran Suffrragist as Vigorous and as Confident of Success as Ever. Miss Susan B. Anthony, accompanied by her private secretary, Mrs. Emma B. Sweet, arrived from San Diego yesterday afternoon. | Dr. Elizabeth Sargent met them at | Hattie Cooper and Mrs. Solomon met the | party at the Sixteenth-street station, Oak- | land. One of the ladies presented the vet- | eran leader with an exquisite bouquet of | heliotrope and white fleur de lis, a floral trophy which Miss Anthony proudly car- ried to the home of her friend, Mrs. A, A. Sargent, with whom she will stay during her sojourn in the City. Miss Anthony looks as vigorous as when she left the State last summer. She spoke deprecatingly of the telegraphic stories of her supposed demise last summer. *“I was in a small country town and the boys were put to it for news,” she remarked, laugh- ingly. I don’t believe they mdited! it themselves even for the two minutes I was in a swoon. Don’t say much about it, please. Iam ashamed of having fainted, lei;ex},mongb it was for the first time in my e. Miss Anthony is as confident of the ulti- mate success of her cause as ever. “We must depend upon an amendment to the National constitution for the triumph of woman suffrage in the con- servative Fast,”’ she said, “but in the pro- gressive West it can be accomplished by State legisiation. Reports from California have been encouraging. I cannot speak of the outlook from personal knowledge as yet, but the sentiment is waxing strong in the West. “The matter of amendments granting equal suffrage is being agitated in Arizona, | New Mexico and Oklahoma, and Mrs. Chapman Catt has taken a force of work- ers.to Idaho, whose efforts will be directed to the same end. “It has been my good fortune to meet club after club of women since I left Cali- fornia. For instance, there was the Woman’s Club, numbering 700, in Chi- cago. Jane Adams, who is at the head of the Hull House, read a paper on ‘The Modern Tragedy’ that I consider one of the finest efforts I ever heard. No mem- ber of the present Congress could do as well, I am sure. ‘I was at Ann Arbor at the time the 600 girl students gave their leap-year ball. It was a most amusing affair, “I have the pleasantest recollections of the National convention at Washington. Miss Shaw and [ were able to marshal rep- resentatives of thirty-four States before the Congressional committees, the best showing we have ever made.” “Will you remain in California till the close of the campaign?” was asked. Miss Anthony replied that she did not know, but Mrs. Cooper said she thought she would, Mrs. SBweet is a pleasant young woman, who is making her first visit to the coast, with which sheis cbarmed. She will be domiciled at the Berkshire. - =T0 THE LEPER FUND. Four Donations for the Purchase of the Goto Remedies Were Recelved Yesterday.

Dickerman, came over on the Alameda. He insists that the Mio- wera was not well found, and asserts that he wrote to the Sydney Morning Herald and Daily Telegraph to that effect, but the papers mentioned refused to publish his statement.

The Pacific Mail Company’s steamer China sailed for the Oment yesterday. The managers of the concern were careful to see that she could not get into the same predicament as the Rio de Janeiro, as the; ut nearly 500 tons of extra coal aboard. he China took away 43 cabin passen- gers, of whom only one was for Hongkong, and 126 steerage, of whom 100 were Chinese for the Flowery Kingdom. Among the cabin passengers was General George Wil- liams, who is going to Yokohama to repre- sent the Cramps. He expects to be able to secure a contract for building a ship for the new Japanese navy. General Mana- ger Fillmore of the Southern Pacific and Irving M. Scott of the Union Iron Works were down to see him off, J. 8ohji, a Japanese sailor boarding-house keeper, was also a cabin passenger. Some say he has gone to Japan to escape from a white wife of whom he is tired; others say he will be back inside of two montlis with a consignment ot Japanese, who will be ready to fill vagancies on vessels that may be short of sailors during the summer months. About a month ago Sohji at- tempted to get away, but his wife locked up all his oelongings and he was compelled to come to terms. Nao Nebraka, manager of the Yoko- hama Specie Bank, and the Jupanese Con- sul-General to Mexico were also passen- gers. The respect in which Mr. Nebraka is beld in the mercantile community was shown by the number of business men who were down to see him off. He estab- lished the bank here five years ago, and is now going home for a rest. The institu- tion is the only concern of its kind in this City run exclusively by Japanese. A dniver of one of the Viking Brewing Company’s wagons had a narrow escape for his lile on the front yesterday. The back axle broke and the borses bolted.

The horses were stopped near Main street, but not until one of them had fallen and was so badly hurt that be had to be shot. The driver was revived and was afterward able to repair damages and drive his wagon home with one horse. The ship Two Brothers will dock at Main-street wharf for a thorough over- hauling to-morrow.

The Stanford University Glee and Man- dolin clubs will give their annual concert at Metropolitan Temple on Thursday even- ing next. This will be the first appearance of the Mandolin Club since its joint con- cert a year ago with the Glee Club of the University of California. There will be no contest for honors this time, as both clubs wear the same colors, but there will be a large attendance of friends, who take as much interest in their music as they do in their various contests. The clubs have been practicing faithfully for a Jong time and have gotten together a combination which is the best Stanford has ever boasted. The following ladies will act as patron- esses: Mrs. Timothy Hopking, Mrs. N. G. Kittle, Mrs. W. B. Chapman, Mrs. John T. Darling, Mrs. Southard Hoffman, Mrs. ‘Williain M.

THEIR WNTREE CORCERT Ondricek and Materna Again Arouse Plaudits at the Auditorium, The Violinist's Wonderfully Charac- teristic Rendering of Hungarian Airs. Ondricek and Materna repeated their success of Thursday evening at the mati- nee concert given in the new Auditorium yesterday. There was a large audience, and the enthusiasm displayed was posi- tively ardent in its warmth. Ondricek invaded the severely classical repertory more than he had done on the | opening night, for he played a romance in G major by Beethoven and an air by Bach. These pieces, however, were more tastes than solid classical meals, and one would bave to hear the brilliant Bohemian at ‘| greater length to juage whether he excels as much in Bach and Beethoven as he does 1n _characteristic work, such as Ernst's “Hungarian Airs.” In characteristic work Ondricek 1s sim- ply magniticent; the Ernst airs, for in- stance, werenot only played with astonish- ing technique, but with the verve and senti- ment that are sc characteristic of the Hun- garian music. The player almost trans. vorted his nearers into a state of Hunga- rian rhapsody as they listened, and at the end their fntmcation broke out in pro- longed applause. Tne Max Bruch concerto in G minor was splendidly rendered by Ondricek, and Isidore Luckstone, the pianist, showed himself to be a thoroughly sympathetic collaborator. The romance, which pre- ceded the ‘‘Moto Perpetuo” by Rues, showed especially how delicate are the vio- linist’s nouances, and the ‘‘Moto’” was an exhibition of brilliant technical skill. As an encore he played a “Legende” by Wieniawski. A Tarantelle by Ondricek proved to be a remarkabiy effective com- position as he himself played it, though if tamely rendered it would probably be shorn of most of its charm. Frau Amalia Materna again showed her- self to be a phenomenal artist. In spite of the years'of work it has gone through her marvelous voice shows no signs of wear in the high tones. She sings with a purity and reserve which assures one immedi- she cannot execute with more than ease. The art of her singing, in fact, is no less remarkable than the volame and resonance of her voice. Yesterday Materna gave an aria from “Rienzi,”” ‘an opera which many Wag- nerians regard with scorn and contumely, but which gives vocalists more opportuni- ties for the display of ‘‘school” than many to a most determined demand for an en- core the prima donna sang “‘Mein Bote.” The grand aria from *La Juive” was an- othersplenaid piece of vocal work achieved by the prima donna. A grana popular concert will be given to-night at the New Auditorium by the Ondricek-Materna combination. FOE OF SCALE PESTS. Professor Albert Koebele Tells About the Australian Ladybug—Ed Morphy Heard From. Professor Albert Koebele, the man who brought the ladybugs from Australia, China and Japan to fight the scale insect pests of the California orange and olive or- chards, returned to this country on the steamship Alameda. He is to remain here three weeks and at the expiration of that time be will return to Hawaii, where he is experimenting in the removal of the pests from coffee and sugar plantations. At Hawaii,” said the professor, “I in- troduced the ladybug to kill the scale in- sects that destroyed the coffee plants and the orange and ornamental trees. The coffee industry was practically dead. It was my agreement to remove the pests in three years, and now, at the end of two years, the work is practically done. “There is a vparasite that attacks the sugar cane, too, and a year ago I intro- duced the ladybug on some of the sugar plaln'('ntions. The results will be benefi- cial. Professor Koebele has been making ex- tensive investigations in China, Japan and Formosa. He wasin Japan at the time of the great Oriental war, and he left For- mosa only a week before the rebellion broke out on the island. “At Yokohama,” continued the scien- tist, I met a San Francisco newspaper man, Edward Morphy. He was there just before 1 suiled, but he expected to start for New York in abont a month. He pro- posed to take a voyage over the Cape Horn route in a sailing vessel.” In spegking of the work that he has laid out, Professor Koebele said : “I came here for a visit and will remain about three weeks. Then I will return to Honolulu, where I stayed a week on the way from Japan, and at the end of three months 1 will return to California. “After my return I am to make exten- sive investigations in Mexico and Central America, studying the pests in the coffee and other plants.” League of the Cross.

Inresponse | LAW STUDENTS DEMUR, Not Willing to Stay Out of the University Alumni As- sociation. : SENIOR CLASS TAKES ACTION. AUnanimous Decision Against Gradua- tion at Berkeley—A Meeting Yesterday. The senior class of Hastings Law Col- lege has a grievance against the Berkeley alumni and is appointing committees and adopting resolutions in consequence. At a meeting of the class yesterday morning charges were made that the alumni at Berkeley is attempting to ex- clude the Hastings graduates from mem- bership in the alumni of the University of California. The Berkeley alumni were severely criticized for their action. Stephen L. Sullivan, the president of the class, appointed a committee for the purpose of drawing up resolutions embody- ing the sentiments of the class, as ex- pressed at the meeting. The question whether it is advisable for the law department classes to graduate at Berkeley was taken up, and 1t was unani- mously decided that the present senior class should not go across ihe bay for grad- uation. Considerable feeling was expressed in regard to the Berkeley attempt to deprive the law department graduates of their right to membership in the alumni asso- ciation of the university, and it was de- termined to take up the issue in a forcible manner and insist on the rights of the law graduates. The matter will be brought before the university members in the reso- lutions of the senior class, and the gradu- | ates of Hasting’s college will be urged to declare in favor of rights or alumni mem- bership.

Beethoven’s “First Symphony’’ was the chief orchestral feature of the concert given by the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra Friday afternoon in Golden Gate Hall. The performance of the work was heartily applauded by a large and evi- dently critical audience. The overture to Schubert’s ‘Rosa- munde” was played by the orchestra with expression and finish. The performance of Saint-Saens’ ‘‘Danse, Macabre” would | have been benefited by more rehearsal, | though Bernhard Mollenhauer, the first | violin, labored heroically to_hide the fact. ‘Any little shortcomings in the ‘““Danse | Macabre,” however, were more than atoned for by the rendering given to the | toreador aria from Bizet’s “Carmen.” This | ever-popular selection was played so crisply and brightly that the conductor, | James Hamilton Howe, was warmly ap- i plauded before the audience consented to | depart, for the **Carmen’ number was the | last on the programme. | The soloists were Bernhard Mollen hauer | and Mrs. Leckie S. Reynolds. The former, | who played Paganini’s variatious upon the air *'Nel Cor Piu,” received quitean ovation. Mr. Mollenhauer competed remarkably well with the immense technical difficulties of the piece; at times they were overwhelm- ing enough to biuut his attack a little, but on the whole his exhibition of virtuosity well deserved the delighted plaudits it re- ceived. As an encore Mr. Mollenhauer played a ‘“Berceuse” by Sauret tenderly sympathetically, though with a slight erence here and there as to intona- | an indif tion. Mrs. Leckie S. Reynolds would no doubt have appeared to better advantage in a modern song, for her singing of hnndx's “He Was Despised”” from "’fhe Messigh” showed that she scarcely lpossessed the | dignity and breadth of style requisite for oratorio work.
