On the day that Chief Officer Hart cele- Dent, | brated his birthday Captain Sealby re ceived his commission as a lieutenant in the British Royal Naval Reserve. He is very proud of his anpointment, as in case of war the Coptic would be. turned into a | cruiser and he would, of course, be a naval officer and her commander. Among the passengers on the Coptic were the Rey. James Jackson and wife. He s going to Kiun Kiangon the River Yang- tse Kiang, where the recent riots took place.

Marceau Case. | | Marceau Said to Be Wi ling to Allow His Wife to Secure the Divorce. Once more the Marcean case has faiied | to put in an appearance before Judge | Slack at the appointed time, and it looks | | now as if it never would come to trial. | Last Saturday was the date set for the | trial of an application by Mrs. Marceau | for the custody of the child, a boy of 6 | years, but the case went over until yester- day morning. | Yesterday morning, when the case was called, it was announced that all parties had consented to a continuance until to- | morrow, and ounce more the trial was put,off. | The delay in the case points to a com- | promise, ana should this method of settle- ment be decided upon the case will have | but a briei period in court. Marceau may | be induced to withdraw the charges which | he made against his wife, and then she | will probably be allowed to putin a cross- | complaint against him and secure a | divorce by default. The only real| stumbling-block is the custody of the chiid. | Marceau says his wife is not a fit person to care for the boy, and she says she can disprove every charge he has made against. | her. The Palace Hotel people side with | Mrs. Marceau, and she says they can prove that no one was in the room with her on | that exciting morning a few weeks back | except her mother, her ‘child and a ser- vant. The efforts of the attorneys are being directed toward settling the matter of the custody of the boy, and when that is dore the case will speeaily end. The question of alimony has so far been an unimportant one in the case. Marceau readily agreed to allow his wife $300 a month pending litigation, and so the ali- mony and a division of property will not be hard to settle afterward. ————————— The Price Case. In the United States District Court yesterday Judge Morrow denied the motion of arrest of sentence in the case of the United States against Warren E.

THE MATTER COMPROMISED. : | At Noon Yesterday the Union Men | Returned to Work —All Parties Are Satisfied. The Building Trades strike on the Par rott building was declared off at noon” yesterday, and nearly 200 men who walked out three days ago returned to work. This arrangement resulted from a com- promise between Superintendent Stanford of the Parrott building and the representa- tives of the Building Trades Council. Be- | cause of the action of the latter, many conceived the idea that the strikers were defeated. Such was not the case, and even the superintendent of the building does not regard the settlement of the | troubles yesterday in that light. It is rather an amicable adjustment between the gentlemen interested, and which is un- doubtedly satisfactory to both sides. By its conditions progress is assured to both employers and employes, and the vital industrial interests of the community will happily be freed from jeopardy. Mr. Stanford states that the men re- turned to work upon terms accepted by all concerned, and that it was a comprcmise pure and simple, and not a defeat or victory for either side. The union men declined to work in the building with Charles J. Bruschke's non-union men, and they were called out on a strike by order of the Building Trades Council. It was the wish of the council that Bruschke either unionize his men or with- draw them from the building. This®he refused to do, and the superintendent said there was no way of compelling him to throw up his contract, especially as he had | only about two weeks’ work remaining to be finished. The superintendent on Tues- day, after a long interview with the busi- | ness agents of the council, stated that tue work must not be delayed any longer, and he directed St. Denis, who has a large painting contract, and Mr. Kerns, a build- Neither of these contractors was desir- ous of beginning work with new men, as they would have been obliged to aud this | was duly considered at the meeting of the | council on Tuesday night. The agents of | the unions were authorized to make this | offer: That the strike would be called off | ty the union’s representatives and the | union men be sent back to work provided | whose present contracts will be finished in | about two weeks. As Bruschke was the | only person in the building opposed to the | unions, such an arrangement as | suggested would practically nionize the in about two weeks. It was further argued that there were many thousand dollars’ worth of werk yet to be | done in the building, and it would be | better in the interests of unionized labor | to do this work than to let it fall into the | hands of non-union men. | There was still another question that | shop, if possible. received serious consideration. J. St. Denis & Co., the painters, and Mr. Kerns, a building contractor, were employing only | union men. If the matter could not be | compromised, these contractors would have to perform their contracts with non- | union men, which would practically make | their shops non-union, and throw a large | number of union men out in the street gain, not only from the Parrott building, | buc from all outside contracts they hold or | may secure. One delegate remarked. and turn their shops over to the ‘scabs’ if there is any way by which the matter | can be settled on fairly honorable terms,” As the matter had to be decided, and withoutdelay, as there would not be time | to get the sense of the affiliated unions, the | 4f possible. Yesterday morning Superintendent Stan- | | ford was preparing to fill the building | with any kind of workmen the contractors | could get when the couacil’s representa tives again called upon him and explaine: the offer they had to make. Mr. Stanford | said that he had no ill feeling against the | unions, but the work had to proceed at | once. He would not promise to shut out | Bruschke from figuring upon any more | contracts. After much discussion, and several visits to persons in charge of the The strike shouid be declared turn to work at noon upon the under- | standing that Bruschke be prevented from bidding upon any other contracts until his present contracts are complete. Mr. Stanford stated that the plans for several contractsin Bruschke’s line of work have been in the course of preparation for | several months, and it is more than likely | contractors within a week or ten days. | Under the arrangement with the “union | men this will practically prevent Bruschke can perform. There are several large con- tracts, such as fitting up the stores, the restaurant in the basement and the offices in the upper stories, that are in Bruschke’s line, and ihese will no doubt pe let to contractors who employ only union workmen, as there is no disposition on the part of the Emporium people nor those interested in the Parrott estate to ! 1 | and will continue to present it duri have a repetition of the vresent labor troubles. Superintendent Stanford states that now the trouble is over he proposes to have the work rushed as fast as Fossible, in order to complete the portion of the building to be used for store purposes. All the men whose services can be made use of will be put to work at once. Mr. Kerns, the con- tractor, has or will put his whole force in the building to-day, and 1t is likely that he will increase the number very soon in rder to comply with the demand to rush. Kerns has always employed union men, m! s| hise still permits him to keep a union op. Another happy man is J. St. Denis, the ainter, who has a big contract in the uilding. A week before he unionized his entire shop after he and his partner, Mr. Macauley, had a conference with the arbi- tration committee of the Building Trades Council. He was determined to keep faith with the council if possible. When he re- ceived the order to go ahead with the work, union or no union, St. Denis was between his satanic majesty and the deep sea. : Yesterday when the decision was an- nounced he was only too well pleased with the opportunity of putting his old men back to work. He started out with a force of Torty, and by night he will have at least sixty at work. To say that the workmen themselves were pleased is'superfluous. By the end of the week between 500 and 700 men will be busy in the big building. ‘. While the strike upon the Parrott build- ing is settled, the strike upon the rest of the City is still on. The working-card went into effect upon the 1st of this month, but in many instances it has not been enforced, because the executive offi- cers of the council had all they could at- | best in this role, and the members of his com- time. To-day the delegates will make another tour of investigation and select the worst of these mixed jobs to begin operating upon. They will present their reports to the council to-night and be in- structed as to which jobs will be the next struck. It is the determination to put the working-card into effect, and there is no doubt but what there will be some bitter fights before this is effected. In pursning this policy the council does not expect to win a bloodless victory and conquer the C.ty at once. Itis well un- derstood that a number of contractors will vield for the time being in order to finish contracts actually on hand. It is claimed, however, that a large body of building and painting contractors have an understanding to fight the card system as soon as they are free from present con- tracts. More than that it is believed that a certain manufacturing association is be- hind the contractors and_will assist in the contest with material aud money if neces- Those who believe that the general ze is over are mistaken 1f the two op- posing torces maintain the = positions they have assumed. The Woodworkers’ Union have another victory to boast of. While they are at peace so far as the Parrott building is con- cerned they still have the knif> sharpened on both edges for Charles J. Bruschke. On | Tuesday night they got tavo of Bruschke’s men to leave and join the union. Last evening they took four more men away and these, too, will be taken into the fold of unionism. 1t is proposed to clean out Bruschke's It was understood that nearly all the men in that shop were Ger- mans, but an inventory of nationality shows only two out of fifty in the shop. Several union men at present employed by Bruschke state they expect to be dis- | charged very soon. Since he formed his ‘“‘union’” he has declared that he wants no union men to work for him. About twelve union men expect to be dropped from the payroll within a few days, principally be- cause Bruschk® suspects them of doing union *‘missionary’’ work among his other employes. Several of these men have been forbidden to talk with the other em- ployes, so they state.

In *“Doris” there is a marked improvement in Tefinement and finish. The declamatory style has been toa great extent abandoned for sone- thing more modern: and natural, and the ap- plause with which the play is received shows that the sudience appreciates the change. “Bluebeard” has proved quite a glittering success at the Tivoli.

The rob- bers gained an entrance to the saloon through a window in the rear of the build- ing, using a jimmy in order to accomplish their purpose. 3 The robbery was reported to the police and Officers Williams and Wren were de- tailed upon the case. Last evening, upon securing sufficient evidence to warrant their arrest, George Ryan and William Madden were taken into custody. They were found by the arresting officers in a room in the Adelphia House busily engaged in drawing the liquid from a bot- tle supposed to have been among those stolen from ‘Sernies’ saloon. g Upon being questioned at the police sta- tion both men denied having been impli- cated in the burglary, but the police are positive that they have the right persons. ——————— Public School Lectures.

Mr. Webb is a Protestant, and, oddly enough, has been elected three times from a district in which 95 per cent of his con- | stituency is Cathalic.

Ac- cording to him the Catholics there are | se. They are really very liberal. . Mr. Webb is an ardent home rule advo- cate, but says the Protestants generally are not nearly so enthusiastic for it as the Catholics.

The people have migrated. But lreland isin better shape now than for a long time. “The Protestants have been at the head of no great reforms for 100 years. Strangely enough, they have been opposed to them. They were opposed to the independence of the Irish church. It is remarkuble, never- fifteen years the proportion of Protestants has slightly increased.” Mr. Webb has been studying the fruit interests north and south of San Fran- cisco. He has been much entertained with what he has seen. The gentleman is about 60 years of age, of medium size, with an almost white beard. Election of the Southern Pacific.
