THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MAY 4, 1896. WOULD MAKE A MAYOR OF PHELAN The Junta Leaders Have Taken “Jimmy” Up to Boost Him. HE WOULDN'T REFUSE IT Fifty Delegates-at-Large Likely to Be a Feature of the Junta Plan. BIG SWARM OF LAW-MAKERS. Some of the Many Local Democrats Who Want to Go to the Senate or Assembly. -The Junts wants to make James D. Phe- lan the Democratic nominee for Mayor and Mr. Phelan is not opposed to having that process worked out on him. If a considerable portion of the local Pemocratic party will join with Mr. Phe- lan and the Junts, Mr. Phelan may be- come very prominently mentioned for the vlace. Of'course by the ‘“Junta” in such a con- nection as this is meant Gavin McNab, Ed Lanigan and Chairman Sullivan, along with the half-dozen smaller political fry who are standing in with the real powers in control. Phelan is a member of the Junta com- mittee and is understood to be in sym- patby with it. He is the recipient of much of Gavin McNab’s admiration and is quite popular in a distant way in the Junta. M. | C. Hassett is said to have sounded Mr. Phelan on the possibility of his accepting a nomination for Mayor and Mr. Phelan is reliably reported to have avoided any direct acceptance, but tc have said that the office bears an honor and a duty which no citizen should refuse. 3 Of course the Buckleyites sniff and guess -that they will have something to sa about the Democratic nominee for Mayor. The talk about Mayor Sutro as the Democratic candidate for Congress in the Fifth District slowly increases its volume, especially among the Junta Democrats. There is an idéa in the air that Sutro would be satisfactory to the Populists, | and so a strong candidate in a district | where fusion of -that sort is possible would | be wise. This impression, however, will receive an early and a general correction, it is likely, in the minds-where it now lurks. | -The Populist leaders have no enthusiasm | for Mayor Sutro,and he is not likely to get any political recognition from them. They do not consider him a member of their party, and say that he has done too much explaining and apologizing about how he cameé to be elected as a Populist nominee. Joseph P. Kelly is the only Democrat who has yet put any ardor into a pursuit of that nomination. Kelly is a favorite son ‘of the Buckley faction, but Kelly is reported to be. quietly scheming to play thingsin his favor with the Juntaoutfit as well. 5 ! Both the Junta and the Buckley fac- tions recognize that Maguire’s nomination in the Fourth is inevitable if he asks for it, and both sides are ready to give it to him. | The Junta sees that thougn Maguire has faken a vigorous stand against the regu- . larity of their organization, he is too strong in the party for them to strike at. Colonel Sullivan’s campaign committee will meet Monday night to do what Me- Nab, Lanigan and Sullivan have decided | upon. The primary for the selection of | delegates to 1he State Convention will be | held on the 29th " inst., and the campaign | committee has the “‘regular’” nominations, | tne appointment of election officers, and | 2ll the election arrangements in its abso- | lute power. | Hence opposition _tickets will get no | show. Hence it is that Daggett is| vigorously trying to force McNab and Sullivan to give him the recognition he | wants in the naming of delegates. It is| said that the victors will generously let | Daggett have a fairly decent show at the ! delegation. | About one-third of the 161 delegates are | to be selected at large. This will take the | delegation lergely out of low district poli- | tics and allow it to be made up more | largely by the intelligent and *‘decent” vowers of the inside. The idea is to com- pose the delegation as far as possible of the biggest men that can be got to serve, as their names are coun on to | give the delegation prestige in the contest witn the Buckleyites before the State Con- vention. Among the people one hears | are 1o go as Junta delegates-at-large, 1f | they will accept, are James D. Phelan, George T. Marye, Gavin McNab, Clitus¢ Barbour, W. P. Sullivan, M. C. Hassett, | Jere Lynch, J. J. Dwyer, Max Popper, | James Gildea, Thomas F. Barry, - Juage J. F. Sullivan and others of similar high grade. ! There are plenty of Democrats who are | just getting out for all sorts of municipal | offices, but there are more early candidates for the Legislature thau for anything else, Nobody knows how and when the divided | ty. will crack together before election but there is an idea in Democratic minds that a number of Assemblymen and maybe three or four Senators will get in from Democratic districts in spite of the overwhelining Republicanism of this campaign year. Most of the precincts of the good old Twenty-eighth District and the Twenty- ninth District make up the Seventeenth Benatorial District. Jobn F. McGovern, secretary of the Junta general committee, is out for this Senatorship. He is a respectable youn, groceryman, and though never identifi with the ‘‘push,” i3 very popular with all elements and is looked upon as a strong candidate. It is currently said that Samuel Brann- hart, the Port Warden, who runs the Twenty-ninth for the Junta, is an aspi- rant for the Senatorship. His friends be- lieve that he ‘would be an easy winner if he went after it, but Mr. Braunhart de- clines to say ¢ word about his candidacy. Jack Welch of the Twenty-eighth wants it too. The Hayes crowd is with him and Frank P. Cusick will fight him. Henry Healey, Assemblyman last time, now tender ot the Fourth-sireet bridge through Ed Lanigan, would also like to make laws in the upper house. Like others he is mixed up with all sorts of factional troubles down there. John D. Coghlan, ex-Assemblyman and saloon-keeper, of the Twenty-ninth, is said to bave Lanigan’s favor for the place. W. T. Boyce, Chinese Inspector, is also men- tioned. Then on the Buckley side are John Browp, the gentlemanly little hero of the old Hickory Cilub who has ex-Supervisor - Ryan and other Buckleyites of the district to fight and some others, including Thomas Egan, sometimes known as Robert Emmert Egan. L There are'two Buckley candidates for the Assembly, from the Twenty-eighth and Twenty-ninth, in the field. = One is Lawrence Conlan and the other is James Meagher-of the Recorder’s office. “Larry”’ Conlan i a vicorous and good-looking voung fellow who has often served his party ably as inspector and as challenger at hot primaries and general elections, and is said to enjoy Chris Buckley’s personal fayor. Itis Mr. Conlan who testifies whenever proper that he saw M. C. Hassett at Buck- ley’s ranch about two years ago, looking for a nomination that might have strayed down that way. The Thirty-first and Thirty-ninth, which compose one Senatorial district, is badly mixed in a factional way. It isthought that C. 8. Arms will either try to go back to the Senate or name the ‘man who is nominated. He will be fought by the anti-Arms people, who are said to have either cx-Asnmbiymnn Sydney Hall or George Dove in view. The Rainey people would like to see James Britt, who was a Senator in 1888, get the plum, and J. A. Fenton 1s mentioned. D. M. Gavigan, the popular secretary of the Buckley general committee, looms up early as a strong Senatorial canadidate in the Thirty-ninth District. He isa young man, a university graduate, but has had considerable experience in practical poli- He was secretary of the last munici- pal convention. William Harrison is thought to be sure of the Junta nomination for the Assembly in the Thirty-second. James Devine and gghn Powers are said to be his competi- TE. Thomas Mitchell wants to succeed him- self as Senator from the district composed of the Thirty-third' and Thirty-fifth. Peter Quinn wants to go the Assembly from the Thirty-sixth. There will be a merry Senatorial scram- ble in the Senatorial District composed of the Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth Assembly districts. Louis Haskins of the Junta side, & young tea merchant, wants to be Senator, and he is undersiood to have Lanigan’s backing. John Fay wants to 0 from North Beach again, and Gavin cNab likes him. John Foley, ex-Super- visor, ex-superintendent of “the Alms- house, has been after the nomination for some time. Fay of course will have the strong Daggeti-Rainey element in the Forty-fourth to fight. "It will be remem- bered that Fay was one of the Senators who didn’t give their complimentary votes to Daggett for United States Senator and felt his avenging patronage hand. e LOCAL POPULISTS Want George D. Gillesple on the State Executlve Committee. The Populist County Committee held a meeting Saturday night, at which the sec- retary of the committee, George D. Gil- lespie, was indorsed for election by the State Central Committee at Sacramento as a member of the new State executive com- mittee of seven members. The following resolution by Burnett G. Haskell was adopted: WHEREAS, It is important for the Populists of San Francisco to have a representative upon the State executive committee of the Peoples’ party who is not only true to the o | principles of ‘the party, but will also attend strietly to the business for which he is elected; and whereas, we know that George D, Gilles- pie is such a man, therefore be it | _ Resolved. That the County Committee of the eople’s party in and for the city and county of San Francisco does indorse the said George D. Gillespie for member of the State executive committee of the People’s party from the Fourth Congressional District of California. On next Saturday evening the local ex- ecutive committee will meet with the twenty-nine delegates from San Francisco to the State convention which will convene in Sacramento on the 12th inst. COURSING AT INGLESISE Opening of the New Park Under Very Favorable Auspices. Reopening of Ocean View Park on Sunaay Nexi—Result of the Various C.urses. Several hundred people attended the j opening of the Ingleside conrsing park yesterday and saw a crack class of dogs run through the run down and first ties. The management had evidently not pre- | pared for a rush of betting, for the pool- box facilities were not of the best and speculators had frequently to wait half or three-quarters of an hour before they could get their tickets cashed. The hares, owing to a lack of familiarity ‘with the park, were not a particulary good lot, but in the main the talent managed to guess the right dogs, and but few short ‘ends won. The biggest winner of the day was Eugene Casserly of Ocean View, who cleaned up $225. San Joaquin, the Alameda kennels’ dog who was expected to run high into the money, was withdrawa on account of an injury received several days ago, and the bets on the race with Flashiight were re- aid. r Following is the result of the run-down: Lady Fitzgerala beat Trix, Governor Mark- ham beat Great Scott, Magnet beat Fireman, Diana beat Laurelwood, Master Glenkirk beat Clover Leaf, Magpie beat §, Flashlight beat Tlene, San Joaquin beat Fear Not, Susie beat Reliance, 8t. Lwrence beat Tom Hayes, Eclipse beat Napoleon Jack, White Chiel beat Captain Morse, - Uncle Sam beat Georgie Dixon, Skyball beat Spinaway, Dottie Dimpleé beat Arapaboe, Royal Buck beat Little Tom, Sly Boy beat Kitty Scott, Nellie Couroy beat Camilla, Kirk Glen beat Maud G, Lissak beat Dublin Stout, Valley Maid beat Electric, Queen B beat Livingston, King Carlo a bye. FIRST TIES. Lady Fitz best Governor Markham, Diana beat = Mugnet, Master Glenkirk beat Magpie, San Joaquin withdrawn, St. Lawrence Susie, White Chief beat best Eclipse, Sky Ball Uncle Sam, Royal Buck beat Dottie:Dimple, Sly Boy beat Neliie Conroy, Lissak beat Valley Maid, Queen B beat King Carlos. The finish will be run off on Sunday next. Ocean View Park will be reopened on Sunday next with thirty-twq dogs at $1 50 each and & number of crack runners have been promised for the meet. The man- agement has preserved a fine lot of hares for the meet and a good day’s sport is expected. ENCOURAGE GAMBLING. Dr. Goodwin Scores Church Raffies and Newspapers Which Advertise Lotteries. Rev. W. R. Goodwin of the California- street Methodist Church spoke last even- ing on “Gambling in the Church and in the State.”” He took as his text the ac- count of the soldier casting dice at the foot of the cross for Christ's raiment. From this scene he drew a comparison with the manner in which many churches encourage gambling. “I insist,”” be said, “that a newspaper that wiil aavertise lotteries and things of that cbaracter is unfit to go intoany house where there are children. They have no. right to evade the law of the land by any subterfuge. They would not do it if the people would not tolerate it, but the de- cent people still continue to take their papers and the newspapers make money on it.” The doctor also took occasion to severely condemn card-playing, dancing and thea- ter-going by church members. —————— “The Cassock in the Capitol.”” The lecture for the benefit of the Catholic Ladies’ Aid Society by Rev. Fether Yorke will be delivered in MetropolMtan Temple to-mor- row evening. The subject will be “The Cas- sock in the Capitol.” Those already having purchased tickets may exchange them for re- served sehts, without extra charge, at Metro- politan Temple. —————— Just received—100 gross Paper Pencils.

Dr. Derrick Explains Why Italy and Ireland Send Their Paupers to This Country. The Good Citizenship meeting at Metro- politan Temple yesterday afternoon was large and enthusiastic. H. W. Quitzow, secretary of the executive committee, pre- sided. He opened the exercises with brief remarks concerning the objects of the meetings. He also read a dispatch from Rev. J. Q. A. Henry stating he would be in the City from May 30 to June?7. This announcement elicited applause and Mr. Quitzow stated that arrangements would be made to have him make several ad- dresses. After prayer by Father Waugh and one or two patriotic choruses the speaker of the afternoon, Dr. George H. Derrick, was introduced. His subject was “Rome’s Subterfuge.” He said in part: Ladies and Gentlemen: If I were a_doctor of divinity or a doctor of laws instead of a doctor of medicine I might present my thoughts in a more acceptabie manner. I feel entirely inad- equate to awaken any feeling in your hearts. If 1 am able in the few facts which I will lay before you to call to your attemtion !binfs which have escaped youI will feel entirely satisfied. “Not feelings, but thoughts” should be the motto of this order. In view of the ad- vance of the American Protective Associeiion principles on this coast we should have an audience which could receive the remarks which I will make not in a spirit of prejudice and ;;l!sion. but in & spirit of reasoning. It has been accused that this orgauization is taking every opportunity to kill the old church simply because it is the old church. We repudiate everything of this kind. We are willing to_respect it because it old and hoary and to give ita decent burial. There are systems of government and of religion which have outlived their usefulness because they have failed to keep pace with the prog- ress of the age, and when the American people meet such & system it is their custom to give it a peaceful ending. I believe in the theory of evolution, though Yerbapa not 5o much 8§ Huxley and Darwin. believe there is an_inevitable effect that fol- lows every cause. 1believe Iam here as the result of a thousand nay & million causes ex- tending away back beyond memory. If this is true of an individual, how much more true 1s it of an institution. The Roman Catholic church is not the result of an accident. Neither, I claim, is it the re- sult of divine intervention of Providence. I think history will prove 1t is the resultalone of conditions which culminate in the present religion, with its Pope at Rome and hierarchy 1n the United States. What has brought about this result? Simply tne action of a great law. We may look to the self with an independence that will meke him ;l mean among men, instead of a dog among ngs. 1 am filled with remorse when I look at these great cathedrals which I see rising on every nand. I know from GX%HQI]EG at the bedside of the dying thatthe dollars that paid for these edifices are wrung through fear from the pov- erty-stricken. Iask you to consider the ad- vance which the Catholic church has made. I admit it was the greatest system the world has ever seen. Its all-seeing eye was able to over- look the actions of the princes of the world and could watch the doings of the private ecitizen. Christopher Columbus, that man whose mind was full of scientific learning, was obliged to beg at the gate of a monastery. There was the influence of popery. The Emrmr of Germany, in the right, had to prostrate himself for three deys aud nights before the old man in the Vatican. Yorke may have to do it yetif he ever refuses to say the words Rome bids, Inall Europe there was not a man too humble, too insignificant to receive her notice. He re- ceived his name &t her altars, her bells rang at his marriage, end at her death she received him and bade him rest in the shadow of her temple. And while she did all this she prosti- tuted human intellect. She put men in prison beause they dared to think. I ask you to int to a single nation to-day under Roman sgnmlic rule where there is'a system worthy of civilization. The brightest example she can point to to-day is France,and France is simply & nation of infidels, with the cross floating over her to hide her infidelity. When Rome sees thatan onward step is belng taken she invariably meets it with a subter- fuge. Now, that she sees our republican sys- tem of government i8 a success and uo longer an experiment, she meets it with a subterfuge. That is the reason we see flocking to our coun- try the paupers and the outcasts from Italy and from Ireland. They come with the idea of ruling us. The wail goes up that the A. P. A. is a secret organization. Do zou know that the Roman Catholic church has been the embodiment of secrecy for hundreds of years? We take a member into our order and in twenty minutes administer all the oaths they will ever have to take,and they are pretty good ones. If you have never taken them you ought to do so mow. The Catholic church takes a child in its ten- derest years and instills in it secrets, which 1t is a mortal sin to divulge, The Roman Catho- lic church is simply crying wolf to the American people as another subterfuge for hiding its own methods. 1 believe there is in the oath of the A. P. A. the principles that will sustain this Govern- ment. It becomes your duty and my duty to say with the signers of the declaration of in- dependence, 1 pledge my life and my sacred honor” to this measure. The audience in conclusion sang the “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” FAOM h FOREGH SHORE Walter Morosco and His Son Leslie Are at Home Again. Each Has an Interesting Story to Tell Regarding Scenes in Other Lands. Walter Morosco, the well-known the- atrical man, and his son Leslie, the actor, returned Saturday night to their home in this City after an absence of five months spent in an extensive sight-seeing tour of Europe. They visited France, Italy, Egypt, ‘Walter Morosco, Who Returned Last Night From a Tour of Europe and the East. history of Italy and contrast it with that of England and we can reldfl{ see why instead of & commercial people sending their ships to every port it has such people as seek our land with monkeys and haund-organs. There are reasons for this, In our own counlr{ ou wili find that from the day the pilgrim ntgxeu set foot on Plymouth Rock it has been the onward march of one grand principle. John W. Draper said: ‘“Rome never con- sidered man as an individual, but always as a thing. She mightin her power have stooped to mercy, but never to benevolence.’” What a contrast that presents to our own country. Here the tendency has ever been to rise to benevolence. When Grant took the | sword from General Lee, instead of, like the Romans, binding to their ch peace.” That day is without pa: man history, and the Ame:ican people showed they hed risen to a plane where they could look upon & vanquished foe as a brother. When I tnus compare tne two principles I am not hitting at the old church. I pity it from the depths of my heart. Iam not hitting at any individual. I'pity all within the pale |. of the ¢hurch. I pity our friend Yorke. Iwas once a student in & Roman Catholic institu- tion and I learned some things I have taken to my heart, I want to tell P.C. Yorke, if he doesn’t know it already, that some day he will | discover that Rome considers a man as a thin, and not an individual. When he has serve its purpose he will be cast aside as a filthy gar- ment. How many men have been cast down from the highest ecclesiastical authority sim- ply because he dared to think for himseli? No priest in this City to-day dares to think be- yond what is written in the ecclesiastical laws of his church. A few da’s ago & gentleman said to me, “Doctor, [ am half inclined to think our re- publican form of Government is only an ex- periment.” I thought back to the time when this country, only a litule handful of people, held in check the proudest Nation of Europe | Surely the republican Government was not | then a failure. Then I thought of the war of 1812. There was no failure there. So1I thought along the line of our progress. 1 said the world never saw anything like this betore. Why do they call it an experiment? I reviewed our public schools. I said the man is mistaken in considering it an experiment. 1f you have men who do know the principles of republicanism," this will be a very disastrous experiment, but if you have men at the head of the Nation who are schooled in the grand principies of freedom the experiment will always be a success. There is only one thing that will make our Government & success, our public schools. While it may not be flattering to our vanity, there is & principle in the fact that the young think eariier than we did. I do not believe in insubordination, but 1 would hate to have a son who thought he could go no fartber than I had thought. Let the teachers bring out the ideas of our children and we will have new works in literature, discoveries in science and men competent in statesmanship. The first of Rome’s subterfuges I wish to speak of is the hial school. Send your boy to a school where he must take off his hat and bow his head at the sight of some shaven- faced man ? Never. [Appl(ule.} Teach him to give implicit obedience to an old man across the sea ? Never. The cause emboaied in that old flag is the grandest the human mind ever conceived. Send him where that flag floats and he will come out ready to v.hlnk‘l‘or him- | Turkey, Austria, Germany, Belgium, Hol- land, Englund, Scotland and Ireland, and Mr. Morosco says they saw pretty muchall there was worth seeing, too, as he and his son have become accustomed to observing things quickly. “In Scotland,” said he, *T bought ten Sbetland ponies for I took a fancy to the little fellows, but I left them on my East- ern farm at Guilford, Conn. I also bought one of the finest bred Collie dogs in exist- ence, a black and white beauty with a pedigree a yard long. *Five little puppies were born to her Sat- urday morning in the baggage-car. Alto- gether they made a pretty picture and I want to exhibit them in the dog show, al- though I am just too late to enter them properly. “My great fad, you know, is horses. In Cairo, Kgypt, We went to a ereat horse show. It was a masnificent exhibition. The best horses were all from Europe. It’s all in the story books this idea that the Arabian horses are so fine; they were not in it at all. ‘When we were in Ireland we rode in a unting car from Larne to Londonaerry. ell, I got struck on those Irish carts, so I orde: the finest Irish jaunting car that could be made. It will be here in a few weeks. They are so easy for the horses 10 pull even with their full load of five or six persons. “‘Of course we saw the Giant’s Causeway and we never missed the chance to kiss the Blarney stone. It is really a danger- ous feat, and very few people can do it. The stone is way up near the roof of Blarney Castle. seventy-five feet from the ground, and you have to hang down about five feet over a parapet. ““We visited all the palaces in Italy, and wherever we went we collected souvenir vhotographs of the best views. *‘San Franciscans think the Baldwin Theater prices are high.

Itisalla most dis- mal and horrible place, although it is no. longer used as a prison.” BAISING THE BLAIRMORE Divers Cut Away Her Broken Fore and Main Topmasts With Dynamite. VERY DANGEROUS OPERATION. After the Load Had Been Put in Place It Was Fired by Electricity. The work of raising the sunken British ship Blairmore was fairly begun yester- day. During the early morning hours the divers were at work, and a number of ex- cursionists on boats from the Union Iron Works and adjoining points watched the operations with absorbing interest. The dressing of the diver was a revela- tion to all who looked on, and one woman remarked, “Why, I could dress my baby as quick again as it takes to dress that man.”” When ‘‘the man” was down, how- ever, he did what no baby could do. He discovered that the Blairmore’s fore and main topmasts had been broken off, and that while they were swaying in the tide it was almost impossible to work on them. The diver who went down aft found the mizzen sound, but the rigging all snarled up with floating ropes from the other two masts. Captain Caw, the master of the Blair- more, was on board the wrecking steamer Whitelaw when the divers made their re- port. He and Captain Whitelaw held a consultation and it was finally decided to cut the tops of the fore and main masts off with dynamite. A big coil of insulated wire was procured and for want of a better drum it was wound around a galvanized bucket. Two sticks of dynamité were taken out of the magazine by Captain ‘Whitelaw and carefully wrapped in can- vas. A cap was placed at one end and then the dynamite, canvas, cap and in- sulating wire were all packed closely to- gether with cord. This deadly combination, that was pow- erful enough to wreck the Whitelaw and bhalf a dozen other ships, was calmly taken in hand by a diver and carried into the depths of the bay. With it in hand he walked to the fore- mast of the sunken ship and just below the break he bound the canvas containing the dynamite. Then without any undue haste he meandered back to the ladder hanging over the stern of the Whitelaw and reported progress. Two other divers were down at the time and they were signaled to. They came to the surface and their helmets were taken off. A few minutes later the signal was given that all was ready and Captain Whitelaw touched the electric button. An upheaval of the watersof the bay fol- lowed, the Whitelaw shook like an aspen leaf and one of the divers was almost thrown from the ladder. When an exami- nation was made a quarter of an hour later the diver found that the broken fore topmast had been cut off as clean as with a chisel, The mainmast was treated in a similar manner and during the afternoon tide the work of removing the standing rigging was begun. This will occupy several days and then the yards will be taken off and sent aloft. Once these are removed the task will be easy, as far as removing the masts is con- cerned, Then the really hard work will begin. The vessel has to be put on even keel and raised. This can only be done by great skill and experience and that Captain Whitelaw possesses. After gei- ting the Blairmore on an even keel a set of pontoons will be placed in position and these will be fastened to the hull of the sunken ship at low water. The rising of the tide will do the rest and once the batches are above water it will not take long to pump her out. « Captain Whitelaw, who has the work in charge, Captain Burns, who is directing the operations for the English under- writers, and Captain Caw, the master of the sunken ship, are all confident that the Blairmore will be afloat again inside thirty days. s e ALONG THE FRONT. Arrival of the Gunboat Concord With Paymaster Webster Aboard. The United States gunboat Concord arrived from: Honolulu yesterday. She took twelve days to make the run and thus was easily beaten by the despised Petrel, which covered the distance in nine days. The officers of the gunboat are: J. E. Oraig, commander; Lieutenant E. M. Prime, executive officer; Lieutenant J. A. Me:riman, navigating officer; G. W. Seivers, chief engineer; W, A. McClung, surgeon; E. P. Webster, paymaster; Lieutenants W. 8. Hogg, W. A. Gill, E. Simpson, Ensign H. G. McFarland, Pay Clerk W. A. Strute and crew of 158 men. The gunboat has six 6-inch guns, two 3-pounders, two 6-pounders, two 37-mm. guns and two Gatling guns. Paymaster Webster, astold in THE CAry, is in trouble. The executors of the estate of the late Catherine Tobin are after him for $2000 he is alleged to have extorted from her son. The paymaster most vigorously denies the charge, however, and says that when the case is tried he will come out with a clear record. 5 The steamer Colon of the Pacific Mail line got in from Panama and way ports yesterday. Her cabin passengers were: Frank Dwyan, Joseph Dalton, A. Dunan and family, Dr. M. Masferoll and family, E. A. Rai- cey, H. Webb, L. Cerra, Carlos Mordant, Jose Sanchez, Charles Ferguson and wife, Jesus Milan, Philip Knudsen, Joseph Harvey, Mrs. 1. Koch, Miss M. Telfer, John Branschley, James xix, Joha J.

Marm, R. T. Sharks, Samuel Colwell, Fred Fritchie, Tony Frazier, James Banks, John Quois, C. Olsen and wife. Everything was quiet along the coast, and Ezeta and his friends were still await- ing a revolution in San Salvador. They were living on the fat of the land in Pana- ma in spite of their reported poverty. Timothy Hopkins was out in his vacht Kl Primero and George A. Knight in the Athlete yesterday. Both vessels have been overhauled and painted and are now look- ing spick and span. e THE LORD AN ORGANIZER. Elder Tanner of the Mormon Mission Delivers an Interesting Lecture. President Henry 8. Tanner of the Cali- fornia Mormon Mission lectured in Pythian Castle yesterday evening. His subject was, “The Lord as an Organizer.” He sai “To organize is to systematize disar- ranged parts in a suitable manner for ob- taining desired results.” He quoted froin the book of Abraham, which contains the writings of Abraham that were exhumed from the catacombs of Egypt in the early part of the century to prove that the Lord organized the intelli- gences that existed before the world was, and that Abraham was one of those Islfirfl and that 1t was from the faithful on there that he made selections for his rul- ers in ibis earth. “It seems,” said Elder Tanner, ‘“‘that two plans were placed before the Lord, but one was rejected. The originator of the rejected plan became an, and re- belled st God and lost his first estate. though he had great influence and drew away one-third of the hosts of heaven. Juae says: ‘The angels which kept not their first estates are reserved in chains unto the judgment of the great day.” Be- cause of the selection from the faithful in- telligences in the spirit world, ‘the gifts and cnllmgs of God are without repent- ance,’ as Christ was foreordained before the foundation of the world and made manifest in the meridian of time. _“System continued in the earthly crea- tions. All the species of God’s creations were to increase and replenish the earth, and singnlarly as it may seem, they have maintained their identity. The sterilit; of species and hybrids on the one hand, and the fertility of varieties, descendants from a common stock on the other, prove 8 conformity to the great law of nature as made known in the Bible, that every seed, fish, foul, cree%in thing, beast or man, shall bring forth after his kind. **After the bondage of Israel the Lord gave unto them consistent laws to meet their special requirements. The same unanimity is manifest in the labors of Christ and his apostles for the bettermert of humanity. Order prevailed in the organization effected for the edifying of the body of Christ. Accounts of that organization will be found in I Cor. xii and Eph. ii and iv. “That same oneness of purpose ever manifest in the Lord’s work is brought into prominence in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Under the presidency and apostles the whole of Mor- mondom works as a unit. Being divided into stakes and subdivided into wards, which are under the direction of the bish- opric with a perfect network of priests, teachers and deacons, they are enabled to reach every family and individual under their jurisdiction. The president has reve- lation for the benefit of the whole, and each individual is supposed to have a suf- ficient light to enable nim to defend every principle or practice they have espoused and stand individually upon their own re- sponsibility.’’ OLYMPIC CYCLERS' RACE Their Five-Mile Event Won by Ralph Bliven—Rodolph’s Best Time. Harry Terrill Fined by Referee Plum- mer at the Santa Rosa Races Saturday. The Olympic Cyclers held their initial five-mile handicap roadrace yesterday at noon over the San Mateo-San Carlos course, and a large number of the Olym- pic Club members rode down to witness the finish. Of the thirty-four original entrants, twenty-two started, all of whom finished. There were the usual number of falls and accidents to wheels incident to all road- races, but nothing serious happened to mar the sport. k Ralph Bliven won the race with forty seconds handicap: Frank Rodolph, thirty seconds, second; and Russell Eaton, fifty seconds, third. Rodolph also made the fastest time of any one in the race, cover- ing the course in a few seconds over four- teen minutes. The road was not particu- larly good or faster time would have been made by many of the riders. Joseph F. Coffey, presiaent of the Cy- clers, acted asreferee and James W. Cof- froth was the starter. The committee which conducted the race was composed of Charles F. Morel, James W. Coffroth and D. L. Conklin. After the race the riders and members assembled at the residence of Fresident Eaton of the Olympic Club in San Mateo and enjoyed lunch and talked ver the race. 'hey were delighted with the suc- cess of their first attempt at road racing and loud in their praises of the cordial re- ception tendered them by President Eaton. A large number of the local racing men and many of the Easterners now here, in- cluding the big Stearns team of ten men, were at Central Park yesterday afternoon trying the new cycle track there. They seemed well satistied with it, and the probabilities are the big National circuit race meet, to be held there on May 16, will witness some of the fastest and most ex- citing racing ever seen here. Harry F. Terrill, the well-known racer, was fined $20 at the Santa Rosa races Sat- urday by Referee Plummer for an uneom- plimentary remark he passed about a de- cision made by the referee. This is the first time on record that a rider has been fined, a power given the referee by the new league racing rules, and if Saturday’s occurrence is any criterion the men will have to live up to the letter of the rules or suffer severe discipline. Both Plummer and Terrill belong to the same club, the Bay City Wheelmen, and the matter bas occasioned considerable talk among their club mates, who seem divided in their opinion as to the justice and extent of the punishment. Terrill will have to pay the fine or be ruled off the track until he does. Next Saturday the racing contingent will attend the meet of the Garden City Cyclers at San Jose. 1t will be a star event in cycle racing on this coast, owing to the high class of the riders who will compete, the value of the prizes and the fact that the meet will be held on the last day of the rose carnival there. —————— The ear of the Caucasian race is of modern size, well formed and neither ?Ionely adherent to the head nor project- ng. HON. D. J. QUIMBY. HE HON. D. J. QUIMBY I8 NOW one of che leading business men of Portland, and I was interested in him to- day for nearly two hours. We spoke of the result of the new bond issue, and we agreed in looking forward to a good spring business, ‘“Well,” said he, “I'm glad it is coming. I feel able to cope with any amount of extra work. I am really and truly a strong man. I was not in good spirits or health a few months ago, but that was before I used the GREAT HOME REMEDY, JOY'S VEGETABLE SARSAPARILEA. *To tell you the truth, all of the regular guests of the Quimby House had spoken to me so highly of Joy’s Vegetable Sarsa- parilla that I was induced to try it, and the result is simply marvelous. I am now a strong and vigorous man. I suffered very much from biliousness and liver com- plaint. I can truly indorse Joy’s Vegeta- ble Sarsaparilla.” COSMOPOLITAI, Opposite U. 8.
