THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, MAY 9, 1896 ; 13 DEBATED UNTIL EARLY MOBNINE, Congressional Committees Desirous of Coming Together. HARMONY BY DEGREES. Veither Side Disposed to Relin- quish Any of Its Original Rights. A FEW POINTS CONCEDED. The New Committee Willi Next Sub. mit Its View of the Situation. OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,) 908 Broadway, May 28. | The Third Congressional District Com- mittes are not yet harmonized, and the prospect is not very bright for an immedi- ate healing of the existing troubles, A long and exciting meeting of the new commitiee was held last night and when it adjourned but littie had been accom- plished. W. R. Davis, who was the first to declare himself in favor of harmony, presented a proposition which it was hoped would pro- duce the end desired. He explained the matter at length and then asked that it be openly discussed. Each section of the proposition was taken up separately ana there were eight votes in the _meeting. The first section provided for a change of the date of primaries from July 11 to Aun- gust 8. After everybody had spoken a vote was taken and the point was con- ceded by 5 to 3. The measure brou-ht forward by W. R. Davis was in the nature of a peace treaty from the old committee. It contained a request for a change of the meeting place of the Congressional Convention from Vallejo to Oakland. Aftera long discus- sion this was rejected. Then came & proposition to select one man from each committee, these to select a third with power to name equally ali election officers for the primaries. It was stipulated that the third man was merely to cast a deciding vote in case the other two disagreed. proposition, but it was voted down. The matter of the selection of delegates to the convention was the next proposi- tion. It provided for the election of rep- resentatives directly from the people in each dis! It was finally agreed to have forty-seven poliing-places in this county and at each one representatives shall be elected directly. The great regis- ter is to be used and no one whose name is not on it five days prior to the primaries will not be allowed to vote. The main struggle came on the proposi- tion to give each committee one-half of all election boards in the county. This was to be arranged so that each committee would have a strength of one-half of the entire ciection boaras. That is, each would appoint one judge and one clerk and would then alternate in the selection of inspectors. When a vote was taken it showed 4 to 4. Chairman French refused to exercise his right to give a casting vote and the proposition was therefore rejected The proposition was also advanced tha the two committees unite and that tne united body of twenty-fcur members at- tend to all business jointly, but this was also rejected. It was suggested that the power of is- suing the call be vested in the proposed committee of three, which was to perepare the document, hand it to the County Cen- tral Committee and have the word ‘‘re- solved” written at the head. A desperate effort was made about midnight to put the whole proposition through, Eutit id not carry. ‘The general feeling of the new commit- tee is evidently to accord to their political opponents a fair representation, but there does not seem to be an inclination to vield any of the power as a Congressional committee that was won at Sacramento. It was 1 o’ciock.this morning when the committee adjourned. It will meet next Wednesday, when the new committeemen will have prepared a proposition of their own to submit to the old, embodying the concessions already made and giving an ultimatum on other important matters.

OAKLAND, CaL., May 28.—The closing exercises of St. Joseph’s Academy were held this afternoon on the lawn between the two wings of the building. Canvas had been stretc.ed overhead to ward off the sun’s rays and a platform was inclosed at one end by suitably draping American flags. It was a novel idea and made a very pretty room with the grass for a floor. The academy—a boys’ boarding-school— is the preparatory institution for St. Mary’s College. There are about sixty boys under 16 years of age unaer the su- rvision of the Brothers of the Christian chools.

No Less Than Two Hundred Go'ng About Untaxed—Next Monday the Last Day. BEKKELEY, CAL., May 28.—Town Mar- shal Lloyd and his deputies are preparing for a wholesale raid on wagons next Mon- day,as a result of the newly passed wagon- tax ordinance. The Marshal states that there are about 400 taxable vehicles in Berkeley and of the entire amount not more than half have been licensed. Be- cause of the delinquency in paying the tax =all the unlicensed wagons will be gathered up and held until their owners have redeemed them. It is estimated that about 150 vebicles will be seized. The Marshal is confronted with the problem as to where he will store them all, but he says he will try to rise to the occasion by placing them in the back yard of the Town Hall It is reported that the reason why the ordinance has not been observed more carefully is because many people believe it cannot be eriforced and are determined to let the authorities take the initiative by seizing the vehicles. Merchants’ Association. BERKELEY, CAL; May 28,—The first regular meeting of the Merchants' Protec- tive Association of Berkeley was held last evening, with W. T. Gillihan in the chair.

The naturally beautiful park of R.R. Thompson was further ornamented with seven or eight handsomely decorated booths, making the prettiest flower village imaginable. Each floral bower was in charge of a committee from one of the Jocal churches, and decorated with a peculiar flower by which it was known. They were as fol- lows: Methodist, eschscholtzia — Mrs. W. H. Pollard, Mrs. C. R. Johns, Mzs. W. Johns, Mrs. Waterson, Miss Pollard. This was one of the most attractive features of the grounds, the booth being decorated with yellow poppies, and the young ladies in attendance being gowned in the same color. Unitarian, sweet peas— Mrs. Frank Clark, Mrs. Plummer, Mrs. Lynch, Mrs. Baurhyte, Miss Elliott, Miss Sadler. The flower was woven neatly among the greens of the tower, making a very pretty effect. Congregational, marguerites—Mrs. M. ‘Ward, Mrs. J. 8. Haniey and a company of young ladies in attendance. Presbyterian, pink and geranium—Mrs. Barton, Mrs. Barrett, Mrs. Smith.

Gypsy tent, oriental interior—miss Hop- kins as a fortune-teller in costume. There were a number of other booths and stands all attractively aecorated. There was no programme _for the day’s enjoyment. The visitors simply strolled around the park or sat in the pretty re- treats fitted u& for their accommodation and listened the Presidio band, The musicians were stationed on a grass plat under a large oak and their melodies sounded exquisitely through the grounds, The bicycle lantern parade in connection with the fete started at 8:30 o’clock under Marshals V. A. Dodd, M. E. Gaines and E. M. Whalley of the Alameda Cyclers’ Club, under whose direction the whole was planned. Besides the home club the Acme and Reliance clubs of Oakland, Dia- mond Cyclers, the Olympics, Bay City and Imperial clubs of San Francisco sent rep- resentations. Then in addition there was a host of wheelers unattached to any club under the command of Albert Dexter and ¥. E. Granam. 7 As the parade swung into Park street from Central avenue, with the lanterns all lighted and the glare of the calcium light thrown on the riders atevery turn, the effect was striking and picturesque. It re. called the days of Aladdin and the Ara. bian nights. Crowds lined the streets in every direc- tion, the major portion of which followed the parade, wending its way to the frounds, which were resplendent with the ight of hundreds of Chinese lanterns sus- pended on wizes from the trees. The booths all did a good business. The concert was under the direction of Henry Fairweather, and just hit the tastes of the auditors. “The Suwanee River” was followed by “The Marseillaise,”” then came “Die Wacht am Rhein,” the “Hymn to California,” composed for the occasion by Henry Fairweather, *‘God Save the Queen’’ and “My Country, "t1s of Thee.” To-day a festival midday Mu& picnic lunch will be served and a grand aypole dance be given by the following little girls: Lulu Borein, Jesse Russell, Ida Matoon, Laura Carl, Merle Francis, Irene Hanavan, Magrle Bassett, Inez Merchant, Edna Towl, Georgia_Derby, Emily Lundber, Annie Devers, Florence Luke, Edith Cor- win, Emily Ross, Alma Ferris.

TUG-OF-WAR WITH DAVIE All the Row Is Over Printing Contracts and a New Daily Paper. OLD POLITICIANS TRICKED. The “Observer” Appears Suddenly, Bids for City Work and Upsets Arrangem:nts. OAxLAND OFFICcE SAN FrANcISCO CALL.% 908 Broadway, May 28. The sudden advent of & daily morning paper in this city two days ago has upset a lot of calculations and created an un- usual amount of gossip. The birth of the Observer as a daily on the morning of the day on which bids were to be received for city printing denotes a condition of things that was not anticipated until the paper was seen on the street. Rarely, perhaps never, has a newspaper been issued under greater difficulties. Late at night the printing outfit was un- loaded on the sidewalk. It was nearly midnight and unless the first issue as a daily came out in the morning the neatly laid plan, of which the publication was a part, would fail. Within an hour of the arrival of the type a squad of printers were dug out of their beds and induced to distribute the brand new typeand to set up the paper by candlelight. Daylight began to appear long before the last galley was proved, and whnile the proprietor was around town looking for a printing press, the make-up was com- pleted. : An obliging publisher was found in the person of Albert Keyser of the Demokrat, and it was nearly breakfast time when the press commenced to work. An hour later Oakland’s new daily was on the street, and everybody was wondering where it had come from. Little was thought of it till the Board of Public Works met in the afternoon to award the city printing contract, and to the surprise of everybody, and especially of those who long bave controlled the city printing, the new paper had in a bid as low as the lowest. There are only three votes in the board, and of course two will ass anything. h X K City ‘ug'mger Wilson favored awarding the contract to the new dpapel'.. Mayor Davie was decidedly opposed to giving it to any paper of a day, while City Attorney Peirsol was on the fence. A consultation followed and no agree- ment was reached, so the case was taken under advisement. The contract must, according to law, be awarded to one of the lowest bidders, and the situation is full of interest. The outlook at present is that the ad- vent of the new paper may break the cast- iron bond of amity that has so long con- trolled Wilson and Peirsol. The Mayor has always been deserted when a vote is_taken, and unless Peirsol now joins with Wilson there may be many changes at the City Hail in the next few weeks. All the heaas of the departments hold office at the pleasure of the odd mem- ber of the board, and if he flops over to Davie the total complexion of affairs will be changed. Frank Robinson is the young man who has so suddenly appeared in the local political world, and so stealthily were his plans laid that the old-timers were not aware of his presence in the field until he was within an ace of capturing the prize. The paper whose bid is the same as that of Robinson's has the support of Davie, but as it has persistently referred to “‘Svengali” Peirsol and “Pudd'nhead’” Wilson there is a lack of harmony between it and the two officials. The imbroglio is being very carefully watched from all sides, as its decision may. mean a great deal. EVENTS OF A DAY, Alameda County Huppenings Told in Brief Chapters.

Diplemas and Medals Awarded by Archbishop Riordan—An Inter. esting Programme. Metropolitan Temple was overcrowded last nignt by the friends and relatives of | the students of Sacred Heart Cotlege, for | the class of 1896 was to be graduated. In- vitations had been sent out in accordance | with the seating capacity of the large hall, | but the interest aroused by the exercises proved sufficient to hold the attention of alarge number of people who willingly remained and stood throughout the even- ing. The programme consisted of music by the college orchestra, the college choir, the '96 glee and a quartet of the graduates; of speeches by eight of the class, and of the conferring of diplomas by his grace Most Rev. P. W. Riordan, who concluded with a short extemporaneous address. i Draped at the rear of the platform, on which were seated the twenty graduates, were widths of red and yellow bunting, the class colors, forming a background for Jettersin gold spelling out “Vincit Omnia Veritas. Sacred Heart College.” On each side were large silk United States flags and National shields set off by smaller flags, while the entire balcony rail was festooned withred and blue bunting held in place by United States shields. The subjects of the graduating theses were varied and their treatment was uni- formerly interesting. g Joseph A. Kendrick spoke of tne *Life- work of the late Archbishop Kendrick of St. Louis.” Thomas Maguire took for his theme *‘Our Patriot Dead.” Arthur J. Sullivan told “What the Monks Have Done for Civilization,” touch- ing particularly upon their achieve- ments in ~the early settlement of California. David A. Barry discussed “Irish Orators,” a subject with which nis audience was in hearty sympathy. James P. Brady paid a tribute to another departed member of the priesthood 'in an essay reviewing and quoting from the poems of Father Ryan, the poet of the South. William P. Sullivan looked to arbitration as the keynote of future international rela- tions, “*Catholics Loyal” formed the sub- ject of some very stirring sentiments from arrv H. Hay.

After presenting the different certificates Archbishop Riordan said: ‘It is getting late. I have no idea of mingling my voice with the fresh young voices we have heard here to-night. These young men of the graduating class have given evidence of the training they have received during the past few years. I do hope that the firincip'leu of religious teach- ing that have beer instilled at the school during the past vear may bear fruit. “But the best ‘school for a boy is often in his own home, and the best teachers are his own parents.

KILLIP & CC., LIVE-STOCK AUCTIONEERS, 30 Montgomery st. % You must not think that when you puta boy into a Catholic school it will ‘do the rest.” The root of religion and of char- acter is in the home. While the school is doing its work it must be supplemented by the influence of home life. Parents must remember to do their part day by day so that their boys may grow in sanctity. *I trust that the lessons of morality learned in Sacred Heart College may bear fruit in iater life, and that these boys may never forget that they are graduates of a Catholic school. *‘We owe a great debt of gratitude to the brothers who have performed the arduous duties of teachers. Little do we consider the demand that is made upon their patience, or of their exercise of Christian character. To the teachers every year brings its new class of pupils to whom they must silently, unremittently give theirattention. Ibelieve that the vocation most laborious and tedious is the task of these teachers. They should be helped on by the co-operation of parents. *“With best wishes to those now leaving school and kindest greetings to those that will return next term, I bid all an affec- tionate good-by."
