There can be little doubt that the past | year in Canadian affairs has witnessed the final effacement of ideas which conflict | with British connection. Previously there had been much discussion of opposing theories as to the political future of the Dominion; and imperial federation, inde- | pendence and annexation had partisans who voiced the respective merits of each in the press and on the platform. Now there is no such uncertainty ap- parent. All shades of political opinion are & unit in favor of remaining within the empire, though it is no less certain that the existing political status is not satisfac- tory. This does not imply a desire for in- dependence—at least it would be difficult to reconcile any such desire with the offer of aid and willingness io share in sacri- fices so readily expressed by the Dominion Parliament. Correspondentsof New York journals may write as they please about e annexation feeling alleged to exist in certain parts of Quebec, but their state- ments do not count for much in the pres- ence of a patriotism which, when roused by danger, shakes off doubts and fears as dust and shows the nation where its heart ‘“?fimt is what recent events have done for Canada. Some who were in doubt are in doubt no longer. English-speaking citi- zens of the empire are one people wherever they may be, and, asa Toronto friend told the writer, *“Whether s toe is trodden on in Guiana or a finger pinched in the Trans- vaal it matters not.” Judging therefore by ttrong manifestations of sentiment the Dominion bopes for a closer union with England which will do away with the re- proach of subordination.—J.

NOT A COWARD IN ACTION. ‘iHe Has Plenty -of Money and Is Only | Awaiting Another Chance to Fight. The remains of General Antonio Ezeta’s expedition to recapture San Salvador ar- rived in port yesterday. The tug Barclay Golden came in through the Golden Gate quite unexpectédly and at once docked at ain-street wharf. The officers of the | vessel bring quite a different tale from that which was telegraphed, and they also deny {in most emphatic terms that Ezeta and | Casin are “hard up” and depending upon | charity for their bread and butter. Ac- | cording to them Ezeta’s wife keeps them | supplied with money, and he and his de- rendents are living on the fat of the land at Panama. They are particular in denying the sto- ries circulated to the effect that Ezeta and Casin are cowards. According to them two braver men never stepped in shoe leather, and had there been fifty men at their back when they landed at Acajutla | Antonio Ezeta would now be master of the | republic. | ‘“We reached Acajutla on January 3,” said Chief Officer H. Spring yesterday. “We had been up and down the coast look- | ing for some of Ezeta’s friends, but, as we learnt afterward, the revolution had | been sprung too soon, and we were a day | behind the fair. The rendezvous was to have been at a farmhouse near the coast, 1d we determined to land on the pretext In | the first boat were Casin, Kenealy (who d the demijohn), Bermudas and th others. I was in command of the second boat and had three men with me. | “Casin and his men got ashore first and { had reached the farmhouse before we reached the beach. Before we could land | we saw a party of thirty Salvadorans sur- round the farm house, and we at once put | 1o sea ag Casin and his men did Dot wait to be atracked, but began firing at once. They then made a rush out of the front door and the troops did not wait for them, but s fast as their legs | would carr, m. ir leader, who was on horseback, led the way. Had Casin at that time bad fifty men behind him he could have re; ned his kingdom. There is no doubt about that. “Well, as we were pulling back to the Barclay Golden the troops came out of { hiding and began firing at us. Second | Mate Melander took the oars and Casin and his men returned their fire and several | of the troops dropped, but_how badly they | were hurt I dc know. I do know, how- v that some of their shots came too bly close to be pleasant. Once took up mmd the coal sacks and -turned the enemy’s fire until we got under way. I suppose that is what gave rise to the absurd stories published about | the two men getting into hiding as soon as the first shot was fired. ““At Punta Arenas one of Kzeta’s fol- lowers came aboard. He told me it cost him $200 to get a boatman to row him out He brought the information that elve men who had favored the return of zeta had been shot and that wholesale | arrests were being made. “‘At Acapulco we took aboard fully three tons of cartridges. They came to Panama on the schooner Una, which also brought down Dan McLean, the famous poacher. Dan took command of the little schooner Silver Wave, and on her the car- idees were taken to their destination. f eta and Casin had 100 men like Dan McLean thev would overrun Central After getting our powder aboard n cruised up and dow the coast, there was never a signal-fire.

It was all over in & minute, and we were the best of friends thereafte When we left Panama on | February 24 it was understood that Casin was to leave for San Francisco on the next | steamer. In fact, he may be here now for all I know. “Ezeta and his private secretary, W. | Devlin, were staying at the Hotel Marino, | and it ‘cost them $3each a day for their | meals, so that doesn’t look as though he | was bard up. Casin also stayed at the | same hotel. ' The day before we sailed I i in the general’s room, and he then | had a big pile of gold in front of him, so I cannot conceive of his being broke.

Her Successful Cruise Among the Bar- barian Islanders of the Far Pacific Seas. Among the arrivals here yesterday on the steamer Australia from Honolulu was Captain H. T. Garland of the missionary ship Morning Star, which has for several years been running between Honolulu and the Marshall, Caroline and Gilbert islands, The ship is owned by the American Board of Foreign Missions. The board | has missionaries in all those islands. About June 1 of each year the Morning Star starts out from Honolulu laden with | provisions and other needed supnlies and | with several religious teachers aboard | visits in succession various islands of the | aforesaid groups. | Often a resident missionary will have jurisdiction over several islands, and in such cases the Morning Star people, after holding services with him and his people awhile, catch him up and take bim on to one of his other islands. Thus the missionary ship is the connect- |ing link between the islands and atols. | She carries bibles, hymn books, song books, | tracts and the other auxiliaries necessary in converting the heathen. when the season is over she comes back and stays till June again at Honolulu. It | is thus that Captun Garland is here. He ison his way to Boston, the headquarters of the Mission Board. All be does, how- ever, is to manage the shin. He says this has been a successful year's work among the natives. He denies that they are cannibals, and says they are tract- able and quite susceptible of being influ- enced toa better life. The captain is at the California. —_———————— GOLDEN WEDDING BELLS. Fiftieth Anniversary of the Wedding of Mr. and Mrs. William Burgess.

WANT THE WILMERDING Dr. T. A. Rottanzi Warmly Ad- vocates the South Side of the City. He Says the School Shou!d Be Placed 7in the Midst of Artizans’ Homes. Dr. T. A. Rottanzi, the prominent leader in South Side improvement, is enthusiastic on the idea of locating the Wilmerding School of Mechanical Arts in some central part of the Mission. “Tothoroughly conform to the wishes of Wilmerding himself,” said the doctor yes: *the school should be located in , and the only proper place for an institution of this kind is in the midst of artisans and those who intend to earn their | livelihood by mechanical workmanship. “‘Almost the entire artisan population of this City reside in the Mission, therefore I advocate that the school be placed in this part of town. “The most favorable location in the Mission, to my mind, is in the vicinity of Columbia Square. Several wealtby men have large land holdings there which are Bdmirabfy suited for sites. It may be pos- sible that one of these owners would do- nate a part of his property to be used as a site for the school. “Columbia Square is accessible by the Bryant and Brannan street lines, the Fol- som street and Harrison street lines in the Mission firuger. From the Western Addi- tion by the Sutter and Larkin street line and from the Potrero by the Fifth and Bryant street line. “Mayor Sutro is éenemus and public spirited enough in offering to donate his land, and his good example should be fol- lowed by other wealthy citizens. Still the objects of the school and the desire of its originator should be first considered.” A PROGRESSIVE HOUSE. ‘What One of the Leading Department Stores of This City Is Doing. A city’s progress can be gauged from its readiness to take up and adapt modern ideas in every line of its development. One of the most modern and progressive ideas in the retail trade in large cities is what is known as department stores, and in this particular feature San Francisco furnishes a striking illustration in The Maze. It was established about three years ago by the Hamburger Company, and it has been eminently successful from its inception, Itis a mecca for the ladies of this City in their shopping tours, for within its walls can be found in system- atically arranged departments nearly evervthing used for domestic purposes. At this season of the year it is natural for the attention of the ladies visiting the Maze to be attracted more especially toward the dress goods, cloak and millin- ery departments, as they offer induce- ments that are particularly alluring. In the latter departinent a complete change has been made this spring, and it is now in_charge of Mrs. Martin. She quoted prices yesterday in an interview that are unusually low. Large hats trimmed in feathers are bein, solfi for $10 each, and turbans at $5. They have a fine stock of imported ¥rench pattern hats, and all their goods are as fine as any in the mar- ket. The showing made of Easter bon- nets and novelties is particularly attract- ive. To-morrow the cloak department will be formally opened, and a fine display wil! be made that embraces all that is new, novel and stylish in suits, cloaks and Wraps. —————— An Extraordinary Wound.

Mec- Cammon and wife, Mrs. E. A. Murphy and child, Miss M. E. Murphy, G. Kunst. There was a marriage aboard the Aus- tralia while she was at Homolulu. The cabin-boys were all interested spectators, and as soon asthe ceremony was performed they serenaded the couple with tincans and foghorns. The bride and groem were mulattoes and were married minister. A little over a year ago Miss Vina King was known as the wife of George.-Washing- ton, a negro, well known in_Honolulu. George began to bestow his affections on native women, and there was trouble in camp. A quarrel ensued and Vina struck Wheeler and wife, George over the head with a pick and frac- | tured his skull. He recovered and she was sentenced to serve six months on the reef. When her term expired, she came to San Francisco and was engaged by one of the diyes as a hula-hula dancer. Henrln%that business was good in Hono- lulu, she determined to return there, and s0 took passage on the Aus‘ralia. When the Paradise of the Pacific was reacned, the authorities refused to allow her to land on the ground of her previous conviction. The woman was disconsolate until a happy thought struck her. She wrote to a former admirer named Thomas Dorrell, and he at once went to her assistance. He procured a marriage license, and accom- panied by the minister, went to_the steamer in his overalls. Chief Officer Law- less would not allow the ceremony to be performed until he saw the captain or the ship’s agents. While he was gone, how- ever, the marriage took place and the Sur- veyor of the Port allowed Mrs. Dorrell (nee King) to land. Chief Steward T. K, James wasdriving to the ship in a hurry in order to be present at the ceremony. A dog scared his horse and it swerved. The wheel caughtin the cartrack and James was thrown out, break- ing one of his ribs. He was still a very sick man when the Australia docked yes- terday morning. Charles E. Taylor’s new yacht, Emma, had her trial trip on the bay yesterday. She isa very handsome craft and a fast sailer. Her dimensions are 39 feet 6 inches over all, 29 feet 6 inches water line, 13 feet 4 inches broad and 4 feet 6 inches deep. Her centerboard has a six-foot drop. The cabin of the new craft is hand- somely furnished in oak and cedar and she will have accommodation for quite a num- ber of Mr. Taylor’s guests. She has a spoonbill bow and 1s sloop rigged. Patrick Crosby, a longshoreman, came near losing his life on the British ship Beechbank yesterday. He was assisting in unloading the cargo of cement, when three of the barrels fell out of the sling and one of them struck him a glancing blow. He was removed to the Receiving Hospital, where it was discovered that his wounds were not fatal. The American ship Elwell, fifteen days out from Nanaimo, B. C., arrived yester- day.

John Keefe, one of the oldest and most rehable of the Jackson-street cable-car gripmen, has been discharged by Manager Vining for attending the ingleside races.

Curious and Interesting Story How Frank L. Roeder Suddenly Became Rich. A remarkable and highly interesting story was related toa CALL reporter last evening at the Baldwin Hotel by Frank L. Roeder of Cincinnati, Ohio, who isa guest of that house. The story concerns the recovery of a large estate in Germany valued at nearly a million dollars, and the attending circumstances are of such a character as to appeal strongly to those who are interested in occultism. Mr. Roeder’s story is as follows: About three years ago he was following the pur- suit of a traveling salesman and was making the towns in the interior of Ohio. Business had been poor with him and he was feeling in quite a depressed frame of mind when he landed one day at Colum- bus. Failing to secure many orders there he was pondering where hisill luck was going to land him when he happened to notice the advertisement of a clairvoyant then sojourning in Columbus. He had always scoffed at the possibilities of any good to be derived from consulting such people, but on the spur of the mo- ment went and had a sitting. He was told many things that surprised him and which he knew to be true, but gave little heed to what the clairvoyant said, deem- ing it but lucky guesswork on the part of the gentleman. When, however, the clairvoyant triea to impress upcn him that there was a large fortune in Germany to which he was entitled, it was more than he could endure; and so he left the place feeling sore and disgusted for having part- ed with & rather liberal fee for what he considered a lot of humbuggery. Occa- sionally for some months afterward he thought of the clairvoyant’s predictions, especially as many of them were being realized from time to time. Naturally in this connection he thought several times about what he had been told concerning the estate in Germany. His great-grandparents had come to this country many ‘years before, and, as he had never heard of any family traditions about an estate in the old country to which they were entitled, he continued to think that there was nothing in it. He has a brother 1n the wine trade who was obliged to make a business trip to Germany nearly a yearafter he had first consuited the clair- voyant. Mr. Roeder suggested to his brother that he make some investigation of the matter while over there and he did so. The result of the investigation was that he found tbat two or three hundred years ago their ancestors had owned valu. able lands in the famous Rhine Valley, but had lost possession of them in some manner, and the most careful investiga- tion failed to disclose evidence that would entitle Roeder brothers to make any claim to these lands. Upon receiving this report, Mr. Roeder again consulted the clairvoyant, who told him that he could trace the chain of title and show him where to secure the necessary evi- dence, and would undertake the wor{ for a nominal commission on any amount that might ba recovered. Mr. Roeder, still skeptical, agreed, and work was com- menced. The clairvoyant discovered the missing evidence, actions were brought, the entire estate was recovered, and Mr. Roeder and his brother are now enjoying the same. Since then Mr, Roeder has reason to feel the utmost confidence in the clairvoyant who assisted him to secure such a large fortune, and he never makes any business ventures without consulting him. He came here ail the way from his home in Cincinnati to consult the clair- voyant in question, Professor F. Eugene of 1728 Market street, about business mat- ters. Mr. Roeder is a gentleman of fine appearance and well educated, and he takes his good fortune philosophically. ————— An Address to Young Men. This afterncon at 3 o'clock Rev.

A HIGH CHURCH DEPARTURE Miss Hutchinson Gives a Memorial and Miss Crocker a Proces- sional Cross. Grace Episcopal Church is to be adorned on Easter Sunday by two beautiful new crosses, one a processional cross, the gift of Mrs. Will Crocker, and the other a memorial cross, for the altar, which Miss Kate Hutchinson is presenting to the church. During the litetime of George W. Gibbs, who was a liberal and enthusiastic sup- porter of Grace Church, no crosses were used on the altar or in the service, out of deference to his desire to avoid this form o fsympolism. George W. Gibbs was senior warden, and, though he died before his term of office was fulfilled, his name still remains by courtesy in the place of senior warden till Easter day, when the year for which he was appointed will have expired. Miss Kate Hutchinson ordered her beau- tiful cross some months ago, before she | was aware of what b een the senior warden’s wishes in the matter, but when it was ex- plained that George W. Gibbs had ob- jected to the symbolism of crosses Miss hutchlnson readily consented to the de- sire expressed by Rev. Dr. Foute that out of deference to Mr. Gibbs’ memory ne cross should be placed on the altar during the period when, by coirtesy, he was still senior warden. On Easter Sunday, however, the cross will be placed on the altar and Dr. Foute will read the benediction to dedicate it. Miss Hutchinson’s gift is considered one of the most beantiful crosses in the City. It was especially made for Grace Church by Geissler of New York, and is in a beau- tiful style of workmanship. The cross is forty-four inches high and is made of solid brass. It stands on_three-steps, and is geverely Latin in outline. In silhouette it is enti ornamentation, but at the intersection of the arms with the upright in a wrought wreath, which encircles a raised relief of the Lamb of God. It was the donor’s intention to have the cross quietly placed on the altar on Easter day as a surprise to the congregation, but a few people were let into the secret, and now the u!or{ of the cross is rapidly be- coming public property. Mrs. Will Crocker’s cross has not yet ar- rived from New York, though it is ex- gected to be here in time for use on Easter | av. The cross is said to be a very bhand- | some one, and it will be carried in the pro- cession with the surpliced choir. A sensational story was published by an | evening\gaper last night to the effect that George W. Gibbs had strenuously objected | to Dr. Foute’s ritualistic tendencies, and | that among other innovations he had | strongly objected to the surpliced choir. | The superintendent of the Sunday- | school, Mr. McClellan, and George . Hook were quoted as authorities for the statement that there was a strong animus | rely devoid of | The Memorial Brass Cross to Be Pre- sented to Grace Episcopal Church by Miss Kate Hutchinson. [Sketched by a *“ Call” artist.) against Dr. Foute among the late Mr. Gibbs’ friends in the church, and that steps were on foot to oust the rector, oth gentlemen emphatically denied the statements last night. ‘“The church is not divided,” said G. H. Hook, “and no one but the Bishop has any right to re- quest Mr. Foute’s resignation. There are absolutely no ritualistic practices at Grace Chureh. “Mr. Gibbs used to object to surpliced choirs, but a short time before his death he requested the vestrymen to vote in favor of having a surpliced choir. We had no processionals till after his death and we shall not have a cross on the altar till his courtesy term of being church warden has expired, but there is no dis- affection in the congregation on that ac- count.” Members of the congregation speak in high terms of the efficient work done by the surpliced choir. They say that the good singing has greatly brightened the services. ost Egiucopnliuns smile at the idea of Grace Church being considered “high,” though two crosses and one car- ried in procession will be a distinct inno- vation. Miss Hutchinson’s cross is a memorial | to her mother. CALEDONIA CLUB MEET. A Number of Specidl and Regular Features.
