THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 29, 1896 MISSION OF YAMAGATA, The Japanese Marquis Is Em- bassador to the Czar’s Coronation. TRAVELING IN MAGNIFICENCE. He Occupies the Highest Rank as Statesman and Soldier in Japan.

There will be one imperial Prince at the coronation who will represent the court of Japan. Mar- ata will represent the country as Embassador. Circumstances permit Marguis to remain long in Europe. He is the most influen- tial statesman and soldier in Japan and cannot remain away long at this time. Marquis Yamagata is one of the sur- vivors of the great revolution of- 1868, and since then he has been prominently identified with the reorganization. He was responsible for every detail in the | strategy of the battle of Ping Yang, and other battles also, and was one of the four | leaders to be honored by the Emperor after the Chinese war with ihe title of Marquis. He commanded the second v at Port Arthur. i cata is one of these who unite civil and military ability. A states- alist, yet he per- mitted western liberal ideas to take root in the country and let the Japanese Govern- government. He reformed almost every branch of the Interior administration. For instance, in the matter of church and state, he reorganized them so that the church became an independent body, but controlled under the supervision of the state while wholly free in the questions of religion. He orgzanized the police of the couniry under western ideas, auna has done much in the rectification of rivers and floods, a great work in old countries where the forests have been cut down., “After having filled the office of Minis- ter of the Interior for eight years he went d | tal voice is a little worn, he is still a very great artist. As an encore he gave Schumann’s “Two Grenadiers” in splendid style, and when the audience absolutely demanded more the jovial singer responded with the “Song of Spring” from the ‘‘Valkure." It was in the “Tannhauser’ selections, however, that Schott showed his marvel- ous versatility and compass, for he sang the barytone aria, “The Evening Star,” a well as the tenor’s grand scena, when Tannhauser returns from Rome. The latter, especially, was given with splendid dramatic effect. Vocal art could go no fartber than the v in which Materna sang the grand from “La Juive.”” Asan encore this gifted _prima donna sang Schumann’s “Du Mein Herz.” Her singing of Eliza- ver, from *‘fannhauser,” was another piece of finished technical and artistic skill. ranz Ondricek played the Rubinstein sonata op. 13, with Luckstone at the piano. The violinist’s miraculous technique, his trio and his artistic inspiration were again apparent in this, as in all his other work, A “Barcarole” of his own, a ‘‘Polo- naise’” by Wieniawski and the ‘“‘Rondo des Lutins” aiso aroused excited applause and bravos. Luckstone accompanied in his usual sympathetic manner. Ficken- scher, who again appeared as a pianist, rendered a waltz by Moskowky. It is expected that two weeks hence a final concert will be given by Ondricek and the Wagnerian singers. ACCIDENTALLY SHOT. Michael Kenny Wounded in the Leg and Roxie Terrence Arrested for Assault to Murder. Roxie Terrence, the owner of some horses at the Ingleside racetrack, and Mi- | chaei Kenny, an employe of John Bren- nick, another horse-owner, had been in- dulging in various stimulants yesterday | afternoon, and shortly before 7 o’clock last ight they got into an angry dispute out- side the racetrack. Kenney pulled a revolver out of his pocket and Terrence grabbed it. There was a struggle for the possession of the revolver and ‘it exploded, the bullet strik- ing Kenny in the rignt leg, inflicting a flesh wound. Kenny was taken to St.3Luke’s Hospital, where his wound was attended to, ana Terrence was arrested and taken to the Seventeenth-street police station, where he was booked on a charge of assault to maurder. Terrence claims that the revolver acci- dentally exploded during the struggle and { witnesses to the affair bear out his state- ment, so that the charge will likely be re- duced to simple assault. Both are friends, but whisky interfered with their friend- ship. MENDOCINO WILD HOGS. A Ranc r From That County Gives His xperience With Them. “Yes,” said the gentleman from Mendo- | cino, as he crossed his legs and gazed contemplatively on the uncompleted dome of the new City Hall, *‘this ‘Central Amez- ican Pig’ story in THe CALL reminds me of the w hogs of my county. “A good many years ago some of the ranchers turned their hogs loose on the mountain ranges to find food and shelter as hest they could. Well, manv of these brutes st domesticated and kept with- i X es of the farms, where they bé found on short notice; a few, ever, wandered off into the mountain tnesses, and in a few generations lost all resemblance to the domesticated ani- mal. I've heard that when chickens have been turned loose in wild regions and left to shift for themselves in a short while they grew smaller, became of a uniform color, got so they could use their wings as well as quails or grouse and became finer eating than in the tame state, but I can’t vouch for this. Idon’t know that I ever wild hogs you may count me in with the authorities. “In the first place, their bristles are longer than the ordinary animal, their tusks are larger and keener, their eyes have a sort of wicked way of rolling round restlessly in the sockets, and holy smoke! but ain’t they vicious though! “These bogs generally travel in groups, but now and then you will meet some surly oM boar alone, and then you want to look out. TUnless they are pretty hungry they won’t attack a man without provoca- tion, but when they do, the safest place is atree. When one makes a ran at you he generally moves too speedily to shoot, and if you don’t hit him fair and square, a bul- let will be retlected from his tough hide like a boy’s marble. “I hate these wiia hogs; I've got a grudge against them. Laying aside the fact that 1once had a pretty narrow es- cape from their clutches about five miles from Comptche, the best hound I ever had was literally ripped into ribbons by one of saw any of them. But in the case of these | the ugly brute’s tusks. I was out after deer, and in passing through some under- brush near a patch of chemisal the dog ran into a big, ugly boar. That dog was ‘game’ to tackle everything, and_ grabbed him by the ear. In about two minutes he was cut all to pieces. “The way I put a Winchester 44 through that hog would have delighted Buffalo Bill. You see, in the scrimmage I was airaid to shoot for fear of hitiing the dog, but his death is avenged.” The gentleman from Mendocino wan- dered away with a grim smile on his face. He might have lost his hound, but the despoiler paid the penalty. S A 22 Died From Mushroom Poisoning. FElia Casina, 41 years of age, a laborer by oc- cupation, died last evening at the French Hos- | pital supposedly from musnroom poisoning. na was taken fll four days ago in his re e, 1501 Powell street, after having par- n heartily ot mushrooms.

THREE GREAT ARTISTS. Ondricek, Materna and Schott Again Appear in Concert. Another splendid concert was given yes- terday afternoon in the Auditorium by the Ondricek-Materna-Schott combination. It is difficult to say which of the three great artists bore off the palm. Anton Schott, as the newest comer, aroused per- haps the greatest amount of interest, though his singing scarcely brought down the house more than Ondricek and Ma- terna’s contributions to the programme. Schott delighted the hearers with several especially popular and cherished Wagner selections, such as the “Prize Song” and “The Song of the Evemng Star.” The “Prize Song’ and “Am Stillen Herd” | Flinn, while the other uses a hours after his arrival there was dead.

DEFENDING THE MISSION South Side Residents Will Stand by Their Property Rights. THE NOE CLAIMS DENIED. A Mass-Meeting to Be Held Next Sat- urday Night at Mission Turn Verein Hall. Ahout¥300 property-owners of the South Side were present at last night’s meeting of the Mission Defense Association, John H. Grady presiding. A. P. Van Duzer, secretary and attorney of the organization, stated that since the last meeting between forty and fifty new members had been added to the ranke of the association and twenty-five more had signed the roll just before the meeting opened, raising the membership to 410. Referring to the Noe claims, he deprecated the practice of certain building contractors in refusing to accept mortgages on proper- ties whose owners would not pay for quit- claim deeds from the Noe claimants. He said intending builders should explain to the contractors that their lands were truly unencumbered and their titles flawless, and hence that they were in a position to mortgage their lots in order to have build- ings erected upon them. Any other pro- cedure, he contended, might be construed into a quasi admission 2f the validity of the Noe claims. The judicial trial of the issues involved in the claims would, he believed, take place in two or three weeks. In the mean- time he had prepared answers on the part of eignty-five property-owners which would then come up for nening. He had every reason to hope that the Noe claims would soon be definiteiy adjudged invalid ana titles to Mission properties set at rest. He referred also to the laws of Spamn and Mexico under which the Noe heirs ad- vance their claims, and said the matter would be sifted to the bpttom and decidea once for all in a very short time. The executive committee reported having met with the Mission High Sc¢hool Club on the evening before. At that meeting the High School Club invited the Defense Association to unite with it; but the committee was not in favor of such a union, the objects of the organizations being separate and distinct. Mr. Van Duser, in the absence of the treasurer, reported that about $125 of the association’s funds were in the hands of | the treasurer, §115in the custody of the secretary, and that about $100 had been expended in the payment ot bills. udge Van Reynegom reported thatar- rangements had been completed by the committee, whereof he was chairman, for the holding of a mass-meeting on next Saturday evening at Mission Turn Verein Hall. Musicians and speakers had been engaged, and_J. D. Phelan had promised to preside and address the meeting. Daniel Kelly further reported that he had secured the use of twelve torches and twenty-four band musicians for the oc- casion, which so delighted the younger portion of the gathering that he was nom- inated grand marshal forthwith. George Walton of the same committee asked for donations in aid of the mass- meeting and a number of those present subscribed sums ranging from 50 cents to $5. Mr. Kelly, when asked to contribute, rebelled. “The grand marshal has to provide his own horse,’”” he contended, “and that will cost him enough.” He relented later in the evening, however, and set his name down for a generous donation. The mass-meeting will deal principally with the establishment of a park and high school at the Mission, and as both matters seem to interest all property-owners in the section, it wgs decided that lists be in readiness and the attendants at the meet- ing given an opportunity to join a general association of garticular clubs to be known as the Mission Improvement League. This matter was turned over to the committee, Judge Van Reynegom promising that it would receive all due attention. A discussion took place regarding the park and hish school. Lake ilerce and the two Jewish cemeteries were men- tioned as gossible sites for the park, while many of the members were in favor of purchasing the Cogswell College building 1or a high school or of leasing that prop- erty for a long veriod. Judge Van Reynegom agreed with the Cogswell project, but thought if that school were selected the building and land should be bought outright. Other members spoke in the same strain. It was decided that, while the De- fense Association would always be in sym- pathy with any movement for the beiter- ment of the Mission, it would never lose sight of its own main aim—the protection of South-side homes against the claims of all who might seek to cast doubt upon the present land tenure. GROMN I HS PULPT Will Tell His Friends Again To- Day What It Is to Be a Christian, The Kalamazoo Telegram the Worst Yet—Mrs. Cooper’s Class in Na- tive Sons’ Hall. 11 all goes well Pastor Brown will preach at the First Congregational Church this morning to his partisans and the usual number of curious-minded who have only seen the reverend gentleman in the pen sketches of the recent scandal. He also promises to entertain all who care to attend the night services with a dissertation appropriate to current events. There is a prevailing belief among the opponents of Dr. Brown that it is no longer possible for the pastor’s friends to pretend to close their eyes to the short- comings of their hero. These friends were sensibly shocked by the verdict of the council, but when Dr. Brown literally hurled the findings back into the face of his ecclesiastical brethren they took courage and again pinned their faith to their pastor. Then came the ex- pose of the United Press telegram which Attorney Nagle made a show of shoulder- ing. Hardly had the excitement of this incident died away when the Kalamazoo dispatch came to light, convincing those who stili remained in doubt that Dr. Brown had stated what was not true ex- cept so far as it reflected his own elastic way of interoreting the findings of the council. This Kalamazoo telegram, which says, “I am acquitted on every charge—C. 0. Brown,” has been discussed and severely criticized on all sides. A prominent mem- ber of the Bay Conference said yesterday that nothing could now save the pastor. His case will come up at the April session of the conference, and there islittle reason to doubt that he will be severely dealt with. The New York Tribune of March 22 says: Although the Congregational council of San Francisco has rendered its verdict on the Rev. Dr. Charles O. Brown, accused of grave offenses, this report has not ended the scandal. The council found that the charge of adultery had not been proved, but it declared that its mem- bers could not understand why the preacher paid hush-money to0 s woman whom he declared a blackmailer, nor why he attempted to intimidate a young woman of his congrega- tion, who he knew possessed a vote and was not favorable to him. Instead of accepting this mild regroo!, Brown at church meeting criticized the council harshly and succeeded in defeating a vote of thanks by his church to the council. This has caused much ill feeling. But what is worse, the preacher, on tne evening oi_ the council’s decision, dictated a message to both press associations declaring that he bad been acquitted of all charges, ln’é the associations nt this news to the East. This imposition upon the public Brown will have to answer for, and the feeling against him is sostrong that it maylead to a request for his resigna- tion. The whole scandal” has been deplorable in its effects. Mrs. Cooper's Bible class will meet at 12:45 in the Native Sons’ Hall, just one door south of the Mason-street entrance of the church. The subject for general dis- cussion 18: “What is the governing force within us? Where is the center of our life and character?”” The Society of Christian Endeavor has withdrawn from the church, and until the {aslor resigns or is deposed will meet in the Native Son’s Hall. The first meeting in the new place will occur to-night from 6:30 to 7:30 0'clock. Henry Littlefield has been appointed to conduct the exercises. ———————— Death of Miss Webb. ALAMEDA, CAL., March 28.—Miss Ade- laide Webb died yesterday at her home, 914 Eagle avenue, aiter having suffered from lung troubles for the past two years. She' was aged 28 years, 5 months and 17 days. Deceased was the daughter of Mrs. Adelaide E. Grennel, who was the widow of the well-known mining man of Cala- veras, Eldridge Webb. Before her fatal ill- ness came upon her, she was prominent in San Francisco as an elocutionist, and appeared at many entertainments given for charity. It was at an entertainment, in fact, that she caught a bad cold, which soon developed into pneumoniaand finally caused her death. The funeral will take place to-ntorrow at 2:30 o’clock, Rev. Lane of the Episcopal Church officiating. The {nlermem will be at Mountain View Ceme- ery. MURPHY WILL CASE ENDS The Contestants Get a Share to Prevent Further Expensive Litigation. Judge Frick Orders Distribution and the Supreme Court Dismisses the Last Appeal. 0Ax1AND OErICE BAN FRANCISCO CALL, 908 Broadway, March 28. } The celebrated Murpny will contest, which attracted considerable attention in this State and in London about two years ago, is ended. A few weeks ago the fact that a compromise had been reached was published in this paper and the news was confirmed to-day. This morning an order was made by the Supreme Court that the appeal of the con- testants against the decision rendered last January by Judge Frick should be dis- missed by stipulation. As soon as the order was made the case was brought be- fore Judge Frick in the Superior Court and he made an order distributing the es- tate of the late Anna L. Murphy of San Francisco to the three daughters, Mary Eilen, now the wife of Don Dominguez, a Spanish nobleman, Frances J. Murphy. and Mary M. D. Murphy, share and share alike. The will of Mrs. Murphy excluded her sons, Samuel and Dan Murphy, and her daughter, Lady Wolseley, from any share in the estate. The children not mentioned in the will contested it, and the case was probably the most celebrated ever fought in Alameda County courts. It caused the making public of the famous Murphy family letters. which set society a-gossip- ing and which furnished interesting prat- tle for several days tor pages of newspaper reading. _ Attorneys Wilson & Wilson, Garber, Boalt & Bishop, Hall & Farl, Victor and George Metcalf, A. A. Moore, W. W. Foote and Deering all figured in the case. The will was eventually setaside by Judge Henshaw in the Superior Court, but the Supreme Court reversed the de- cision. The litication threatened to be almost interminabie, and finally when there was a danger of the vast estate being eaten up in litigation a compromise was effected. Under the termsjof the compromise the contesting children will each receive about $50,000 and the three sisters about §100,000. The exact terms of the compromise have not been made known, but enough has transpired to show nearly what figures were agreed upon. There were present this morning at the time the order of the court was made At- torney Wheeler of San Francisco, repre- senting the contestants; Attorney Deer- ing, representing the legatees, and Victor Metcalf, the administrator of the estate, who was also reyresented by George Met- calf and A. A. Moore. When Administrator Metcalf made his final report recently and asked for the dis- tribution of the esiate he showed that he had $39,097 89 on hand. He states that the estate, which was once of most liberal proportions, has dwindled down to one valued at about $500,000. In tbe proceedings this morning Attor- ney Wheeler mude several objections, mainly in behalf of the minor children of Eugene Murphy, but they were all over- ruled and excentions noted. He took this precaution in the event of a hiteh regard- m% the compromise. he Judge ruled against Mr. Wheeler on all points, and finally ordered the estate distributed to the three daughters in ac- cordance with the terms. of the will of Anna L. Murphy. The estate is in the hands of Victor Metcaif. It consists of $39,089 cash, stock in various corporations, a fourth interest in the Murphy block at Market, McAllister and Jones streets, and also the property on Bush and Sansome streets, in San Francisco. “The dismissal of the appeal by the Supreme Court to-day ends this case,” said Attorney Metcalf to-night. *‘There is nothing now to hinder the distribution, and it is safe to say that the Murphy case will not be heard of again in the courts.” —————— An Installation. ALAMEDA, Cav., March '28.—The offi- cers-elect of Alameda Chapter No. 70, R. A.

Demurrer Not Sustained. ALAMEDA, CaL., March 28.—The city received ‘the worst of the legal battle to- day over the injunction proceedings brought to stop work on the electric plant. A general demurrer was interposed to the comrlalnt, which, had it been sustained, would have put an end to the litigation. The demurrer took the main trend that the comglaint did not state a cause of ac- tion, and that the City Trustees had not transcended their legal rights. Judge Trick refused to sustain the demurrer, and the city's attorney was then given ten days to answer. Lawyers are generally of the opinion that under the present law the Trustees have exceeded their authority in going into the business of selling commer- cial light. EDOFF'S ANSWER 1O MAY The Policy and Work of the Prohibition Party Caus- tically Reviewed. RESPECTIVE LABORS COMPARED The California State Protective Asso- ciation in Favor of Local Option. For the past two days the communica- tion of 0. G. May of Berkeley, published in THE CAvL of Friday, criticizing the work and aims of the California State Protec- tive Association has been largely the topic of conversation among the liquor men and the prohibition people on both sides of the bay. In reply to Mr. May, J. P. Edoff, president of the association, had this to say yesterday: “It has not been my habit to notice the vaporings of obscure assailants who are always rushing into the public prints, when they can secure the consent of the editor, to hurl venom at an imaginary foe, and I see no substantial reason why Mr. May should be made an exception to my general policy in this respect. “The subject-matter of his communica- tion is the old threadbare sermon which has been preached and sung by the Pro- hibitionist for a century, and its teachings are regarded as 8o impracticable by modern civilization as to scarcely merit consideration. “In this State the prohibition party has been in active existence and operation for more than a quarter of a century, and yet at the last election their vote was so insig- nificant as to scarcely entitle it to be’ dignified by the term scattering. I men- tion this simply for the purpose of calling attention to the fact that the prohibitionist, as represented by Mr. May, is narrow, con- tracted, intolerant, bigoted, selfish and opinionated, and hence it isthat they there were 150 of them. That is not true. I counted twenty-eight who were con- spicuous. There may have been thirty altogether. ug, T have never done them any harm— on the contrary, have befriendea some of them, never said 8 word against the Min- ers’ Union—it is pretty clear to me that | eyes,lossof to do this thing. aid ey Dave et Fave been on the directors’ “You see [ have side all through this lawsuit.

Fox, speaking about the matter, said: *‘The looters of the mine are the rioters. It is all one affair. The stock- holders are not worrying about the mine being closed down. It so happens that the closing of the mine at this juncture is a saving of money. The stockholders are perfectly willing to have it closed down until the end of this lawsuit. City.

CARSON, Nev., March 28. —There is likely to be nothing further at present in the Hale & Norcross Company’s demand for troops to protect Tangerman. Yester- day. after acting Governor Sudler's refusal to call out troops on the ground that no re- quest had been made by the Sheriff, he left for the eastern part of the State. —_——— Objection to a Portuguese Funeral. ALAMEDA, Car., March 28.—The sud- den death of Giuseppe Vignolo, a promi- nent Italian resident, and the removal of his body to an Oakland undertaker’sestab- lishment by Frauk Silva, the ‘‘Portuguese King,” has caused unfavorable comment among the Italian citizens. Vignolo leaves an estate valued at upward of $5000. He lived in Alameda twenty years. e e The lower animals suffer little, if at all, ifrom nervous exhaustion, and, conse- quently, mere rest accomplishes for them what a state of absolute somnolence alone make such little headway in their attempt to persuade the body politic into the adop- tion of their views. “That they as a whole mean well may be admitted, but to differ with them upon the subject i8 to invite acyclone of vituper- ation and abuse, which is always the ready weapon of a narrow intellect. “A fair sample of this intolerance and bigotry is conspicuousty apparent in the communication of Mr. May. Without any knowledee or acquaintance with my- self, or, so faras I am aware, with any other member of our oryzanization, he proceeds to launch a tirade of billingsgate and falsehood against us. ‘*His reference to ocher matters and the interests they represent shows the flippant and recklessuse of a dagger in the hands of a fool. “Now, with regard to his opinions as to the objects of our association I have no desire to make uny comment or to enter into any discussion with Mr. May through the press or elsewhere. His gross perver- sion of the facts is so marked that any- thing like a fair basis of argument with men of his mentality is utterly impossible, and therefore such a discussion would prove not only unprofitable, but absurd. He is either ignorant of the truth respect- ing the present status of the liquor traftic in Caliiornia, or does not possess sufficient moral courage to admit what is common knowledze, and that is that our association | has accomplished greater results in the two years of its existence in the line it is following than all of the Prohibitionists since the organization of the State gavernment. ‘*Neither is his statement true that it was or is our purpose to wrest frem the local authorities the right to regulate or sup- press the traffic. Upon the contrary, at the last session of the Legislature we at- tempted the enactment of alocal option statute, submitting to a vote of the people of each county the question of license or no license, which cannot now be done by any valid enactment. This measure was defeated by the efforts of people fashioned after the caliber of Mr. May, and for no other or more substantial reason than that the measure proceeded from the liquor dealers themcelves. g __“We also attempted to increase the iicense revenue by more than $2,000,000 in the State, with a view of thereby les- sening the number of retail saloons, and by so doing very greatly diminishing the opportunities for low or disorderly places, and yet this action upon our part 1s con- strued by the man from Berkeley as an at- tempt 10 piant a saloon at every man’s door. In other words, he seems to con- sider that to double or treble the tax upon the traffic will have the effect of multiply- ing instead of diminishing the number of establishments, which is quite in keeping with the lozic of his position throughout his whole vicious tirade. “And finally he says that our avowed purpose to eschew politics is a mere pre- tense and a sham.
