2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1896. there was a jaunty scarlet fez, embroid- ered in gold, with the insignia of an in- fantry ofticer. The blue jacket was elabor- ately embroidered in white and gold and opened over a close-fitting scarlet waist- coat, buttoned to the throat with gold army buttons. The short skirt was dark blue, with two broad stripes of gold and one of white, and neat little dark-blue gaiters finished the jaunty uniform. The gauntleis were white, the sword belt of gold, the hilt heavily chased and gilded, with an elaborate sword-knot cf real gold, and the blade chased and inlaid with black enamel, bearing in raised silver let- ters the name *‘Elteen A. Sanborn’’ on one side and “Daughter of the Regiment’’ on the other. The militia division, which made an excellent showing in comparison with the Federal troops, was made up as fol- lows: John R. Berry, colonel, command- ing; Thomas A. Nerney, lieutenant- colonel; Frank 8., Prescott, major; D. R. ‘Weller, major; Charles H. Fernald, ma- jor; Herbert D.

Glenn, first lieu- tenant, Santa Ana; W. H. Graham, second lieatenant, Santa Ana. Trooo D, the new unattached cavalry company of Los Angeles, made its firstap- pearance in a public procession. The troop escorted the queen to the reviewing stand and then took its place in the line of march. It is composed of excellent horse- men and the exhibition cavalry drills were excellent. Uniformed civic organizations followed the militia. Major H. M. Russell was mar- shal of this division and he was aided by Captain A. C. Jones, Captain Falkenberg, T. E. Russell and 8. X. Mezenhuber. The San Diego band furnished music for the mounted Foresters, who turned out fifty strong. Next marched the High School cadets, in dark blue sailor suits. The Uni- formed Rank, Knights of Pythias, com- pleted the division with 150 members. The third division was typical of old California. A troop of caballeros, dressed in the old Spanish costumes, was made up of dashing riders. Among these horsemen was a girl of apparently 12 or 14 years, be- decked with flowers, She stood upon her saddle, lightly and with evident ease, Be- fore the queen she stopped her horse. The next instant she jumped to the ground as gracefully as a bird might hava made the flight. Still holding the bridle, she calmly, deliberately saluted the queen. Then she turned to the horse, which was much taller than she. Her intention was, apparently, to pat the beautiful animal oa the forehead. The horse gracefully low- ered his head, when the maiden leaned upon it and was lifted up to the neck and shoulders of her obedient steed. The next moment she was standing on the saddle and away she went with the caballeros. Accustomed as California is to pretty feats in horsemanship. this girl won the high- ‘est admiration from the men who live in the saddle. A dashing and daring lot of riders were the cowboys, among whom were a few mounted Indians. A cowboy stoppea be- fore the queen and caused bLis horse to lie down. The man stood and bowed, and when he returned to the saddle the horse arose with him and went tearing down the roadway. The Santa Barbara band was with the horsemen. Ignacio Francisco de la Cruz Garcia rode in a carriage, and a placard announced that he was 115 years oid. The Pueblo Indians from New Mexico were led by Charles F. Lummis. At the head of the division made up of the horsemen and Indians was Marshal C. A. SBumner, with M. A. Wolfskill, C. R. Sumner, F.'W. Sabichi, Conde Jones, C. G. Rbone, J.J. Johnston, F. W. Millspaugh and J. R. Winston as aids. Decorated floats were the features of the third division, which was led by Captain Hampton Hutton, marshal, assisted by J. P. Randolph, H. Drew, William Dunn, William Mathews and H. Mathews as aids. First came the Pasadena band, fol- lowed by a gilded eagle perched upon a stand made of shields bearing the stars and stripes, and carried by eight men covered with fiesta colors. The Pasadena float was decorated with roses and had upon it immense multi-col- ored butterflies. Upon two colossal roses were beautiful maidens. There was a boat to represent “The God of the Sea,” with Moorish sailors manning the vessel. Next were the California float and the trade float, and these were followed by the grain and fruit floats and the Cahuenga Valley float, in which King Lemon was monarch., The Temescal Indians closed the division. There were filty of them. Behind came two standard bearers, who carried the war banner consisting of a collection of Eagle feathers. The braves were naked from the waist up, and their breasts and faces were covered with paint. The headgear of the men consisted of feathers and bear skins; that of the squaws of green twigs. The goreeous Chinese section was led by General Johnstone Jones, marshal, aided by John C. Cline, Ralph Duninguey, F. R. Willis, George Reed, Guy Woodward, Lewis C. Brown, George Wilson, James K. Stevens and E. C. Attrill. In the last division of the parade beautiful floral decorations of t:e engi;‘:: and trucks of the Fire Department were of higu artistic merit. There was a whole carnival of flowers in the ais lay. The big extension truck stopped before the Queen. The ladder, decorated with callas and mustard blossoms, was raised in the Z ] THE ORCHESTRA THAT ACCOMPANIES THE QUEEN = o W / i 2 ALL THE FIESTA l i ' ~if 7 Z = /[ et i JOURNEYINGS. air, and the firemen ran aloft to pay their salute to her Majesty of Fiesta week. Engine 8 was adorned with smilax, roses and snowballs. of Engineer Fred Nessler, occupied a seat on the flower-covered smokestack. A parasol in fiesta colors and bedecked with choice flowers shaded the child from the sun. City Electrician Francis’ wagon was decorated with flowers and carried a minature fire-alarm system. A chemical engine was almost entirely covered with carnations, white roses, farns | and smilax. A department wagon had a long bell of poppies suspended above th_e seat, and back of the seat was the Ameri- can flag, formed of roses. The old oaken bucket in smilax and roses was displayed. On another wagon a set of harness seemed to be made of roses. When the Fre Department had passed, the Queen and the maids of honor were escorted to carriagesand the parade moved about the city for about two hours. The judges of prizes at the parade are: Hon. F. W. Henshaw, Oakland; Chief | Sullivan, S8an Francisco; Hon. W. W. Foote, Oakland; Major Frank McLaugh- hin, Oroville; Walter S. Newhall, San Francisco; B. M. Yard, New York; C. G. Burnett, New York; H. J. Bohn, Chi- cago; Foster Swift, Boston: Dewitt Wil- cox, Chicago, and 8, A. Ruteen, Boston. SRSy A FEAST OF MUSIC. California’s "Best Talent Appears Before the Queen. LOS ANGELES, Car., April 22.—The characterization of ‘‘he who hath not music in his soul is fit for treason, stratagem and spoils” will not apply to the people of this sunny southland. The grand fiesta con- cert was given at Hazard’s Pavilion here to-night and the great building with its two balconies was fairly packed with people eager to hear the famous artists and musicians, The immense stage platform was crowded with the orchestra of 100 pieces and the fiesta chorus of 300 trained voices. This concert was given under the auspices of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce and the Merchants’ Association and Board of Trade. Every town and bamlet in Southern California was repre- sented in the great audience, ladies being elegantly attired. At 8:20 o'clock the trumpeters at the entrance announced the approach of the Queen. This was answered from pack of the stage, then the royal lancers arose and the orchestra struck up the “Marche de Entree,”from “Boabdil,”while her Majesty came slowly down the main aisle, attended by her prime minister, two pages carrying her train. The maids of honor followed ana were seated on the Queen’s stand, to the right of her throne. The Queen was charming in her magnificent concert gowWn. Conductor Harley Hamilton took his position, and in subdued but delicate and sweet strains arose the music of the over- iure, “Anacreon Cherubini.”” At rap of the baton the great chorus arose and ren- dered “With Sheathed Swords” (from “Naanan’’), by Costa, the male voices lead- ing, The applause which greeted this rendition was hearty. A barytone solo entitled ‘She Alone Charmeth My Sad- ness” was{sung by Andrew Bogart of Oak- land. Mr. Bogar is an artist of acknowl- edged merit in the musical world. He has a splendidly modulated voice—pure, clear and sweet. Then followed Wagner's “‘Lohengrin” by the orchestra—a fine ren- diuon of an exquisite piece of music. The great audience was now given a real treat in the soprano sclo, “‘La Parlate d’Amor’’ (Gounod), by Mrs. Maude Berry Fischer of Oskland. They encorea thelady to the echo. Mrs, Fischer has a voice of remarkable flexibility and won- derfully sympathetic quality. The **Hindoo Song,” a contralto solo by Mrs. Charles Dickman of Oakland, was de- lightful, ana was greeted with an encore. Mrs. Dickntan is known and esteemed among vocalists of S8an Francisco, Oak- land, San Jose and other towns and cities of California. Her voice is noted for its purity, depth and sweetness. The soloists ‘were all fairly. over- whelmed with basket bouquetsof elab- orate design. . . Mendelssohn’s “He Is Watching Over TIsrael’” was a magnificent rendition by the full chorus and orchestra. Following was an intermezzo and minuet from the Sec- ond Arlesienne Suite, Bizet, the barp obli- gato being by Mrs. F. C. Gottschalk of this city. “My Dreams,” Tosti, by Mr, Bo- gart, brought forth prolonged and deter- mined applause. {t was a happy thought when Mrs. Dick- man and Mrs. Fischer were associated in a duet. It was ““Madragal,” by E. Meyer Helmund. The blended sweetness of these two voices afforded such an inspiration as one seldom hears. And it was fitting that this splendid musical treat should close with the Na- tional hymn ‘“America,”” the audience rising and joining in the chorus in a vol- ume of tremendous fervor and patriotism, !

MURDERER HOLMES. Ris Attorney Still Scheming to Swindle the Gallows. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 22.—Law- yer Samuel P. Rotan, who defended H. H. Holmes, the convicted murderer of Benja- | min F. Pietzel, to-day admitted that he and Attorney McCaffrey of this city had wired Coroner Caster of Indianapolis to come to Philadelphia. The Coroner, who is said to have received $75 to pay his ex- penses, will bring all the evidence in the inquest on the death of young Howard Pietzel, the son of the man whom Holmes is alleged to have killed, The boy is also an alleged victim of the murderer. This testimony is in connection with the effort that will be made to have Holmes’ death sentence commuted to imprisonment for life, but what particular part it will play has not been learned. Assistant District Attorney Barlow read of the proposed visit of Coroner Caster with evident sur- prise. *‘Whatever the game is,” he said, “it is too late. 1do not aticipate any fur- ther bother about Holmes.” —_———— HOW PEARL WAS BEHEADED. Statement Made by Dr. Caruthers About the Bryan Girl’s Murder. CINCINNATI, O=mro, April 22.—1In the Jackson murder trial to-day Coroner Ting- ley identified the clothing of the mur- dered girl. Mrs. Mabel Stanley of Green- castle, a sister of Pearl Bryan, the mur- dered girl, was the second witness. She identified the clothing as having belonged to Pearl. Joseph E. Pearcey, a druggist of Green- castle, testified that the pocketbook in Scott Jackson’s valise was one he sold to Pearl Bryan January 23. The most sensational testimony was that of Dr. Caruthers, who conducted the post- mortem, and stated in his’ opinion that the girl had been beheaded while yet alive. R T Icebergs in the dtlantic. NEW YORK, N. Y., April 22—The steamer Mobile, which arrived yesterday from London, reports encountering a great igefield last Friday. For four hours the steamer was among gigantic icebergs.

Wearers of the Cardinal Ezpect to Give Berkeley a Chase. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Car., April 22.—Track Munager Brown, when asked about Stanford’s prospects in the coming intercollegiate fleld contests next Satur- day, stated that he had great confidence in Stanford’s athletes this year, but hardly hoped for a victory. £ “All the men are hard workers,"” said he, “but, though they have trained con- scientiously, a few are not in the condition I had hoped to have them for Saturday’s meet. This will, however, be the greatest intercollegiate athletic event of its kind ever held on the coast, and I miss my guess if several records are not broken. All other field days this year will be small affairs—mers side shows—compared to this annual competition between Berkeley and Stanford.” If the weather is pleasant a large crowd of enthusiasts will go up from here to cheer on their representatives. It was estimated to-day that 200 Stanford stu- dents would be on hand to witness the events. Toney will have an easy time in the hurdles, it is believed, but were he out of them the contest would be very close. The 100-yard dash will be one of the pret- tiest races of the aay and Stanford shounld make 8 fine showing in that event. The ole vault will also be interesting, and if le’s bruised heel permits he will prob- ably break the coast record in that event. The shot-put record should go by the board and possibly that for the mile run. With her crack riders in the bicycle race Berke- ley should have this event, but not with- out a very pretty ride. From niow on ‘the Stanford trackmen will do no work on the fieid or track, but con- fine themselves to light gymnasium work to keep in condition. ~ A professional rub- ber has the men in charge, and everything possible will be done toward putting them at their best before Saturday. The train- ing table has been running for two weeks and will be continued up to the day when Stanford sends forth her twenty-five athletes to battle on track and field with ber adversary. S g it TOM DIXON BESTS LAVACK. The St. Paul Boy Wins the Decision in @ Twenty-Round Coniest. LONG ISLAND, April 22.—Tommy Dixon of St, Paul defeated Johnny Lavack of Cleveland in a twenty-round bout &t the Eureka Athletic Club to-night. The bout was even and rather_tame until the thirteenth round, when Dixon took a de- cisive Jead. From this until the finish, Dixon had clearly the best ot the argument, and punished his man severely. Lavack was strong at the finisbh, considering the unishment he received. Both men were airly clever, but either would be an easy mark for George Dixon. et Kid McCoy Scores Another Knockout. MEMPHIS, TEsw., April 22.—Kid Mec- Coy, champion middle-weight of America, knocked out fessor Frank Bosworth here to-night iness than two rounds. Young MacMahon Weds a Princess, PARIS, Fraxce, April 22.—The civil marriage of Princess Marguerite of Or- leans, ?ugnurs of the Duc de Chartres, to Major Patrice MacMahon, Duc de Magenta, son of the late Marshal MacMahon, took place to-day and atttacted a large crowd of curiosity seekers. THE SECTARI DK SCHOOLS, To Get No More Money for Educating Indian Children. BILLPASSED THE SENATE Within Two Years Uncle Sam Will Do It All Him- self, LARGE APPROPRIATION MADE. Work of Providing Non - Sectarian Schools for the Different Tribes Will Commence at Once. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 22.—In h!m Senate to-day petitions from Baptist churches, in relation to the arrest of Bishop Diaz, a naturalized American citi- zen, by tice Spanish authorities in Cuba, were presented by balf a dozen Senators and referred, and a resolution requesting information on the same subject from the State Department was offered by Bacon (D.) of Georgia and agreed to. A Senate bill authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to proviae for the safety of passengers on excursion steamers, and oarsmen taking part in regattas, amateurs or professionals, in navigable waters, by detailing revenue cutters to enforce such rules and regulations as may be adopted to insure safety, was passed. Sherman (R.) of Ohio, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, offered a resoiuiton for the appointment of a com- mittee of five Senators to proceed to Alaska after the adjournment of Congress and to inquire and report on the condition of the fishery industry, the condition of the fur seal fisheries and the measares that should be adopted to promote the progress and development of the people of Alaska. The resolution was referred. Mitchell (R.) of Oregon addressed the Senate in favor of a bill introduced by him and reported back favorably from the Committee on Pensions extending the act of July 27, 1892, which grants pensions to the survivors of the Black Hawk, Creek, Seminole and Cherokee Indian wars to the survivors of those who served in various other wars from 1817 to 1856, The bill also includes the widows of survivors. The estimated number of beneficiaries under the bill Mitchell stated at 7631. Under objection the bill remainson the calendar, The Indian appropriation bill was taken up and the question of sectarian schools for Indian children was discussed for a couple of hours, It ended in the adoption of the amendment offered by Cockrell of Missouri, the bill as it came from the House approvriating $1,135,000—~increased by the Senate to $1,335,000—for support of day and industrial schools for Indian children. This appropriation was accom- panied, however, by a provision absolutely prohibiting future payment for education of Indian children in sectarian schools. Cockrell’s amendment was a substitute for the provision declaring that it 18 “‘the settled policy of the Government to make no appropriations whatever for the educa- tion of Indian children in any sectarian school, just as soon as it iz possible for provision to be made for their education otherwise.” This amendment was agreed to, ayes 38, noes 24, as follows: Ayes—Allen, Bacon, Bate, Blackburn, Brice, Caifery, Carter, Chandler, Chilton, Cockrell, Daniel, Elgins, Faulkner, Gibson, Gordon, Gray, Hainsbrough, Hawley, Hill, Jones of Arkansas, Kyle, McMillan, Mantle, Martin, Mills, Mitchell of Wis- consin, Nelson, Palmer, Pettigrew, Roach, Sewell, Sherman, Smith, Turpie, Vest, Vilas, Walthall, White—38. Noes—aAllison, Brown, Burrows, Cannon, Clark, Cullom, Davis, Dubois, Frye, Gal- linger, Gear, George, Lodge, McBride, Mitchell of Oregon, Peffer, Perkins, Platt, Shoup, Squire, Stewart, Teller, Warren, Wolcott—24. The Cockrell amendment is a substitute for that provision of the House bill which prohibits payment for education in sec~ tarian schools and which directs the Sec- retary ft the Interior to make all needful rules ahd regulations to prevent such pay- ments. At2r. M. the bond resolution was laid before the Senate and went over inform- elly. Consideration of the Indian bill was proceeded with. The amendments of the Committee on Appropriations striking out the items for Indian pupils at Hampton, Va., and at Lincoln Institution, Philadel- phia, were disagreed to; and those items remain in the bill. A long but not very important or interesting debate was car- ried on up to the time of adjournment over questions connected with allotments of lands to the Inaians in severalty in the Indian Territory. Cherokees, Choctaws, Oreeks and “squaw men” were discussed. The bill went over without final action, The Senate at 5:20 o’clock adjourned until to-morrow. IN THE HOUSE. Provisions of the General Pension Bill Explained by Pickler, WASHINGTON, D. C., April 22.—The House to-day, in committee of the ‘whole, eatered upon the consideration of the gen- eral pension bill reported from the Com.- mittee on Invalid Pensions. Its pro visions were explained at length by Pick- ler, chairman of the committee, who occu- pied two hours and a half in making his speech. The intent of the bill, he said, was to fix and determine certain controverted ques- tions which had arisen in the administra- tion of the Pension Bureau, 50 as to pre- vent Secretaries of the Interior anda Pen- sion Commissioners from undoing the work and reversing the rulings of their predecessors. The debate is likely t 3 Gt ly to continue through: When the House met the first order of business was a vote on the resolution de- !;l:.r;n “u‘?f'fif‘ Goodwin (Pop.) io gil(v; ec resentative from the Fift] District of Ahgumn and_entitled to the seat occupied until yesterday by James R.

The bills to continue the present gov- ernment of Greer County, which the Su- preme Court of the United States on March 16 declared was a part of Oklahoma and not of Texas, and to confirm the titles of settlers on public lands therein was passed. Scranton” (R.) of Pennsylvania endeay- ored to secure consideration for the bill providing for the election of a de egate in Congress from Alaska, but Crisp (D.) of Georgia objected. At 4:35 . m. the House adjourned. WILL NOT COME UP. An Entire Change ot Programme Reported in Regard to the Paciflc Railroads Bill. ‘WASHINGTON, D.C., April 22.—The Star to-night says: “Itisunderstood to- day that there has been an entire change of programme in the Pacific railroads bill. The first of the week it was given out that Speaker Reed had consented to give the committee all the time it wanted. It is said now, and on good authority, that friends of the biil have found that the op- position to it is so strong that it will not do to call it up at this session. Several Representatives who approached Speaker Reed to-day to ask for time to speak on the matter were told that it was not thought that the bill would come up.” The foregoing is given for what it is worth. It is the understanding of Tag CALL correspondent that all parties are at sea and that Speaker Reed has as yet given no intimation of his intention, o A ok Death of @ Noted Lawyer. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 22.—Gene- ral Noah L.

He was about 65 years of age. —_— INTERESTS THE COAST, Appropriation for the Protection of the Sacramento and Feather Rivers. Tirey L. Ford Is Highly Pleased With the Senate Commerce Com- mittee’s Action. 2 WASHINGTON, D. C., April 22.—The Senate Committee on Commerce to-day adopted the following language for the item in the river and barbor bill covering an appropriation of $250,000 for restraining barriers, viz.: For the construction of restraining barriers for the protection of the Sacramento and Feather rivers, in California, $250,000, such restraining barriers to be constructed under the direction of the Secretary of War in ac- cordance with the resolutions of the California Debris Commission contained in executive document No. 16 (H. R.), Fifty-third Congress, second session, pursuant to the provisions o andfor~ the purposes set forth n secs tion 25 of the act of Congress of the United States, entitled, “An act to create the California Debris Commission and regulate hydraulic mining in the State of Cali- fornia,” approved March 1, 1893; provided that the Treasurer of the United States be and he is hereb( authorized to receive from the State of California, through the Debris Com- missioner of said State, or any other officer thereunto authorized, any and all sums of money that have been or may hereby be appro- Ppriated by said State for the purposes herein set forth, and said sums when so received are hereby appropriated for the purposes above named, to be expended in the manner above provided. Referring to the action of the Senate Commerce Committee Tirey L. Ford said to-day: “The item as it uow stands is the result of much careful thought and study. The changes made by the Senate commit- tee are intended to more catefully guard valley interests and bring State and Fed- eral acts more in harmony. Every safe- guard that could be thought of has boen placed around the appropriation, and it is not now_seen how any one can object to it. I endeavored to have another chanze made striking out the words ‘Sac- ramento and Feather’ and inseriing the word ‘navigable,” in accordance with an opinion rendered by Messrs. de Haven, Carpenter and Wright, but some of our delegation objected to it and it was not further urged. The House will doubtless agree to the Senate changes and a much- needed work will thus soop be begun under the supervision of Government en- gineers.” JOY'S INDORSED.
