THE VANGUARD OF THE SECEDERS, New Branch of the Salva- tion Army Started Here. AMERICAN VOLUNTEERS. Captain Robert Gardner in Com- mand of the Pacific Coast. HOLD FIRST MEETING TO-NIGHT Branches Already Established in San Jose, San Diego, Santa Cruz, Sac- ramento and Other Cities. The effect of the Booth schism in the Salvation Army has at last manifested it- self in this City, and a branch of the “Volunteers of America” will be organized to-night. ‘When the split occurred in New York, and the followers of Ballington Booth de- cided to cast their lot in with him and his noble wife, the first step was taken looking tov{ard the formation of a separate organi- zation. It was to be known as the “Volunteers of America.” The idea was enthusiasti- cally taken up by the loyal followers of t!w general’s son, and soon every town and city in the United States, wherever the Salvation Army had a footheld, found its seceders from the parent organization, and E;unchea of the “Volunteers” were estab- San Jose was the first city in California to fall in line. The Volunteers organized with an enrollment of sixty members. A dispatch announcing the fact was sent to the New York headquarters and Balling- ton Booth sent beck answer to hold the fort and extend the good work. James Smith was appointed captain. Captain Robert Gardner, formerly chief of the outriders, was appointed in come mand of the Pacific Coast division of the new organization and the larger cities of the State soon fell in line. San Francisco ‘was tardy, but now that the final oreak has occurred in the ranks of the regular army the organizers will no doubt carry on the work with the same earnestness and en- thusiasm that has marked their past ef- forts in the main body of the army. The “Volunteers’ of San Francisco will start with about twenty-five members. The leaders are Captains Hudson and Dill- muth. The headquarters for the present will be at 526 Kearny street, where the meeting to organize will be held to-night. The “Volunteers’’ already have a strong organization in each of the following cities—San Diego, Santa Cruz, Los Gatos and Bacramento, San Jose taking the lead and holding it up to the present date. FOUAL SUFFRAGE RIGHTS How the Legislature Came to Submit It to the People of California. Friends of the Measure Must Now Rally to Its Support and Work Till Victory Js Assured. Deep sclicitude marked the faces of women and men in the Senate chamber of California on the eventful date in March, 1895, when the bill for woman suf- frage came up for final reading. Having passed in the Assembly it was expected that the Senate would hardly give it the cold shoulder. Beinga daily visitor in the Senate during pendency of this in- terest, I noted the hopes and moves at every turn. The moment for final action came. Men of thought and chivalry looked upon the faces of earnest women as much as to say, ‘We respect your wishes and want to do that which wisdom and justice dictate, but it is a gigantic ex- periment and we hesitate.”” No selfishness controlled that hour; not a motive or wish was then apparent in plot or plan for defeating the women, and while lawmakers desired the victory of the latter they wanted light upon the expe- diency of the measure. The reading finished, 8 moment's-pause, knit brows, whileithe “ayes’’ and ‘noes’” were about to tell the fact of victory or de- feat, and when it seemed certain that tbe loyalty of Senators toward the problem would equal that of the Assembly, the tide was turned by a sentence, A Repub- lican Senator rose, and, with the adroit- ness of tact, stated that he was not work- ing for not against the right of women to vote, but 8aid, *Itis only a question of time till they will have the right, for it is one of the things sure to come, but as weighty opinion is against them on a constitutional question, we will, I think, refer it back 1o a vote of the people.” This 1ast sentence, ceupled with the foregoing remarks that it will become a law, side- tracked tbe suffrage train for a more general expiézsion of the people through the ballot. ¢ R In this light it is to be regarded, in its general character, not merely that men are to vote and decide it prowor con, but that women may and are expected to turn the scale in their favor by soinfusing their cause into the hearts of the voters that they will gain the end sought. * 2 There is a sense in which women of Calt- fornia will vote this fall, and that is by influence and work. It is their privilege to awaken public sentiment and to vote through the hands of men, and this they will do, and we predict their victory. ‘When the Legislature referred it to a popular vote it thereby said, “We are willing to unite in its adoption if the ple desire it.”” It should be remem- med that the Legislature did not show its hand as against tue measure, hence after the House passed it and finally concurred with the Senate in submitting it to the ballot the wowmen and all voters have a right to look upon our lawmakers as fayoring it, and many of them will work and vote for it. 5 Since the three State conventions have declared in its favor and the Democrats are expected to,it would seem like op- position to the wishes of the vpeople to openly oppose it. The tide of public opinion is -flowing womanward. The aglut papers are advoeating it, and all FINANCIAL. CHICAGO GRAIN, PROVISIONS AND NEW YORK 2TI(I)GKS. WHEELJUCK & Cf + Leidesdorff St, Tel.

The people expect the women to work, lecture ans hold mass-meetings, and todo all in their power to secure victory, The women read the papers; they see the avalanche of public sentiment in their favor, but they must remember it is their earnestness and prayers that create the avalanche, hence there must be no slack- ening of effort, for there is a subtle foe watching it all. Many lost victories have been made thus by apathy and by concluding that the active ones will save thre cause. That conclusion is a danger- line. Women in all departments will need to second the efforts of their leaders by talking up the cause, by reasoning and by securing_the right now offered by law- makers and by lawyers, ministers, physi- cians, editors, the intelligent and brave. To fail now means a closed door for a long period. The men generally are reticent and passive, concluding it is a woman’s cause and that the women must look after their own interests. They do not object to woman suffragze nearly as much as they assume to when talking with undecided women. We hear of no meetings by either men or women against the proposition. and this because the opposition is indiffer- entor negative. The element of aggres- slve earnestness wins.

In a Few Days He Will Go to New York to Await the Summons to Meet Fitz. Corbett is in town—he of the fame, the long reach, the clever duck, the sock, the buskin, the pen and the Fitzsimmons match. They didn’t expect him for two or three days, but he was in a hurry to see his home, family and friends and he cut short his stay in -Salt Lake City, arriving here yesterday morning, accompanied by his pretty and dashing wife and his sister, who have come West with him. He was met at Benicia by his brother Frank and Billy Delaney, and at Oakland by his father and mother. He at once went to the quarters in the St. Nicholas Hotel which had been engaged. Corbett’s home-coming is not the joy and triumph 1t_was_on one occasion, but a host of warm friends and admirers were champion in his old home. He has come entirely to see the members of his family here before going to England and hls stay may be one or two weeks. Corbett is as handsome as ever, is the | last fashion-plate in his nobby attire ana he is physically the picture of healthy manhood. Dissipation is not making tracks in the open countenance of Pompa- dour Jim at the age of 29, There 1s one cloud jwhich slightly shad- ows Corbett’s return to the Golden Gate from which he went forth to conquer. He is sore at the way in which some of the sporting ana other editors on newspapers here treat him. He says 'he can stand their scolding less than that of others. In a few days he will go to New York, from where he expects Brady to summon him to England soon. To a reporter yes- terday he had this to say about that match with Fitzsimmors: My pugilistic affairs are entirely in Brady’s hands. He is confident that if Fitzsimmons will consent there will be little trouble in_ se- curing & match in England, probably before the National Sporting Club, which hasalready made overtures in that direction. As I have said & hundred times, I don’t think Fitzeimmons wants to fight me. Recently, however, he announced his intention of goiug 10 England, where he will be ready to fightany man in the world, It is very easy for & man to place himseif on the other side of the big pond and hurl chelienges to his rivals, but we don’t ropose to perm it Fitzsimmons to do so. Erudy has gone to England purposely to an. ticipate any such move on the part of the Aus- tralian, Ifthe iatter journeys over there and talks fight Brady will be close on his heels and he will either have to fight or skulk out of the country. My only reason for desiring s match 1n Eng- land is that one can only be arranged here with considerable difficulty. We both might accept an offer from Stewart, but the danger of arrest attending such a match is enough to discourage sny thought of one. Again Fita- simmons lately has apparently shown more willingpess to fight in England, and such be- ing the case I concluded to accommodate him if possible. FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL. An Enjoyable Entertainment Given Last Night by the Mission High School Club, The Mission High School Club gave a most enjoyable entertainment last evening at the Horace Mann Grammar 8chool. The programme consisted of music, recitations and brief addresses on the Mission’s need of a high school by John P. Grady, John T. Dare and School Director Henderson. President Grady of the Mission High Scheol Ciub opened the exercises by a brief speech in which he reviewed the progress already made by the club toward securing a high school and spoke with much emphasis of the need of the Mission district for such an institution. The. first nuntber on the programme was music rendered by the Horace Mann Or- chestra, led by Professor Dewey. Following was a recitation by Miss Ethel Hendy, and afterward a vocal solo, ‘‘Answer,” sung by Miss Jennie Williams, Then Mr. Grady introduced John T. Dare, who spoke briefly on the subject of a Mission High School, saying: ‘‘Unless you stand together and demana it, you will never get it.”’ Miss Alice Doyle then recitea “‘Biddy’s Troubles,”” Miss Tudie Kaiser played a piano solo, Valz Durand and Miss Edith Helms sang *‘The Song for Me.”” School Director Henderson said: “The significance of this meeiing to-night is the banding together of the people of tiie Sun- shine Valley, to get what should have been given them long before. Now that we Liave been so longz demanding a roeor nition of our rihts, I feel that we should now demand them with a greater au- thority.” % A cornet solo was given by Master Charles Denney. Cecil Marks then read the following resolutions, which were adopte WHEREAS, The Honorable Board of Educa tion, appreciating the necessity for & high school in the Mission district and with a de- sire to accede to a just demand of our people, have estimated in the costof properly conduct- ing the School Department for the ensuing yesar asum of money sufficient to purchase a lot and erect a high school; and whereas, the above estimate must be submitted to the hon- orable Board of Supervisors so that it may be provided ; thereiore, be ii Resolved, That we, the Mission High School Club, in mass-meeting assembled, respectfully urge upon the honorable Board of SBupervisors to give us the help westand in need of, and ask them to make provision in the tax levy for the ensuing year for the amount necessary, so that our children may bhave placed within their reach the advaniages of & high school; and be it further Resolved, That & copy of these resolutions properly attested be sent to the yarious clubs of the Eleventh Ward for their indorsement, and then that they be presented by & commit- tee from this club to the honorable Board of Supervisors. Music b'y the orchestra and the song “America” by the audience concluded the programme. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 31, 1896 MEEK WITHDRAWS ~ HIS DONATION, No Longer Gives Five Dol- lars Monthly to the Church. ONE ACT OF REPRISAL. Result of a Fight Against the Establishment, of a Beer Garden. FORGOT A MOTHER'S WISH. Rev. Mr. McCullom of San Lorenzo Speaks Pointedly of Outraged Decency. SAN LORENZO, CAn, May 30.—The fight between the mothers, wives and daughters of this town against the turn- ing of the pretty grove here into a resort for all manner of vicious characters reached another stage to-day when it-was announced that Harry Meek had with- drawn his subscription of $5a month to the Union Church. Although the coffers of the church will not suffer greatly from theloss of Mr, Meek’s $5, the circumstance itself has great weight, as the people of this town resent what is evidently meant as a punishment for demanding their rights. For several months the residents have opposed the granting of a liguor license to the proprietors of the grove, but a few weeks ago by means of a petition to which the names were not legal the license was granted. Since then arrests have been made among the Sunday crowds and the offenders have been turned loose to avoid the publicity that would be caused by publication. The grove is_the property of the Haywards Electric Railroad and Mr. Meek, who has withdrawn his subscription to the church as the president of the road. “This company has broken its faith with the people of this section,” said Rev. G. T _Icgullom of the church to-day. ““When they solicited bonuses from the property-owners for its San Lorenzo ex- tension the promise was made that a license would not_be asked for the grove. We were told by Mr. Meek tbat the road would confine itself strictly to legitimate business. Now they have a license for the firove and every Sunday we are visited by all the roughs that can be brought from San Francisco and Oakland. A few daysagoa young lady was in a buggy when a crowd of hoodlums started the horse and jostled the buggy so that the occupant was forced to getout. Now Mr. Meek, the president of the road, bas withdrawn his subscrip- tion to the church because I was instru- mental in leading a fight for peace and order. However we will live without that $5, which is about as much to the treasury as his influence was to the church, but itis the spirit of the thing that rankles. As a railroad the company is all that could be | There is s good service and first- | ciass cars and civil employes, but it is these | desired. petty things that make the road so un- popular. ““Before Mrs. Meek’s death, eight years ago, she laid her boys under solemn obli- gations not to allow the grove to become a beer garden. The old lady was the very | soul of charity and goodness, and while she lived we had no grievance against the grove. Wewent to H. Meek and reminded him of this obligation, and he said he was aware of it, but that the title to the grove was in the road now and not with the family. president of the road and with the other members of the family controlled its management, but it was of no use, and we got no satisfaction. “They tell us now that they have leased the place to Bfed Borman and that they have no control of it, but that is not so. Borman told a member of the church a few days ago that he was disgusted with the kind of crowds that were carried out there Sundays, and that if the railroad people persisted he would refuse to cater to them. ‘“‘Now, after all this, comes Harry Meek and discontinues the donation of §5 a month that we were receiving from an_es- tate worth over a million dollars. This display of petty spite and the knowledge that the children do not have as much reverence for the memory of their noble mother as_many people here have—these are some of the secrets of the unpopularity of a great corporation. Every promise broken, all regard for decency thrown aside, and a beer garden forced upon us on the strength of a petition’ fraudulently llEned—these are the injustices under which we suffer. drawing his subscription at this time it is a breach of an implied promise. The promises of subscriptionsare ranewed each year for a year, and the current veriod is not up till October, but I do not fear that the church will suffer.” ey THAMES GOLD HELDS, A Queer District Which Is Said to Far Surpass Cool- gardie. Its Army of Swindlers Unloading Prospects—English and South Af- rican Investments. Among the arrivals here yesterday was L Gowing of London, who for a year past has been in the gold fields centering about the town of Thames, in the province of Osakland, Northern New Zealand. He says that in his opmmion these gold fields far surpass in richness the mines of Cool- gardie. He says, also, that this is the opinion of skilled English and other min- ing men who have gone there. “These gold fields are very extensive,” he said. “Tuey reach from the Coroman- del Peninsula down to the Waihi, making in all a tremendous district. There are many good mines there, too. The Good Success, at the town of Coromandel, has specimen ore so rich that it runs seven ounces to the pound. Theore on that side 18 pockety, while on the other—that is to say, near thée town of Thamesand beyond— it occurs in large bodies and is low in grade. “The deepest shaft is on the Kapango mine. 1t is down 1000 feet. There is another shaft which is to be put down 3000 feet. It will be the deepest in New Zealand. “An enormous amount of English capi- tal is going into the district for invest- ment. Many mines have been stocked already for large amounts. Representa- tives of the big mining men of South Africa are there and are buying property. . “Among those who are there, however, are many mmscrupulous persons, swindlers, We reminded him that he was | In the matter of with- who are stocking undeveloped claims for large amounts and ukln% them over to London and elsewhere in England to sell. I expect a lot of people will be taken in by them. I know tnree or four men who passed through San Francisco recently who were on the way to London to foist just such property on the public. Ishould not wonder if some money was lost. “Still thereis any amount of gold there and for men who understand the business I think it is a good place. Oakland is the capital of the province. It has 50,000 peo- vle. Itis, however, out of the mining dis- trict. 2 “Thames, the town in the heartof the district, has 5000 people; Coromandale, on the other side, 1800. People are strung all over the country and are mining in many different places. “The climate is warm and pleasant win- ter and summer, with the exce:Fflun.that 1t rains a good deal in summer. This insures water in abundance, however. There is also an abundance of fine timber, so that the country, unlike Coolgardie, 1s quite at- tractive.” MODERN GUATEMALA. A Californian Commissioned to Cover Its Houses of Congress With Aluminum. Frank Weitman of this City has under- taken a novel commission in Central Amer- ica. He claimed a few days ago that it was the first of its kind in the whole wide world, and some of his friends—competi- tors, in fact—were anxions to know how it all would end. Mr. Weitman sailed from this port on the City of Sydney Thursday. His des- tination was Guatemala City and his mis- sion the fulfillment of a contract with the Gnatemalan Government to cover the roof of the Capitol with aluminum. He is a metal worker possessed of excep- tional skill in the treatment and handling of metals. Recently he was connected with a prominent firm in Oakland, but if his commission from the Central Ameri- can Government be managed successfully it is said he will never be compelled to work as a tradesman again, The work of covering the roof of the Guatemalan houses of Congress is said to be stupendous. It will take from eight months to a year with alarge force of men working late and early to complete the covering. And when finished it will be the only roof of 1its kind in existence. There is more than one reason for t:is aluminum roof. First ot all the soft-toned white metal is expected to preserve its color and consequently be highly orna- mental and imposing. Again, its light- ness has entered largely into the consider- ation of the architects, as the roof itself is immense and the spans of more than ordi- nary extent. It will be a year at least before Mr, Weit- man returns to tell of the experiment, LITILE TIME FOR ART, 0. Kunath Says Potboilers and Real Estate Prevail in Los Angeles, The Artist Gives His Impressions of Southern California—He Was Disappointed. Oscar Kunath, the artist, who left San Francisco a year ago for Southern Califor- nia, has returnea from Los Angeles. He is not favorably impressed with the south, that is from an artist’s point of view, and says he is glad to be back again. Mr. Kunath is one of the best-known painters in San Francisco. For many years he was a teacher in the art institute of this City, baving the portrait class as his special department of the courses taught. A few years since the portrait class began to dwindle away by slow de- grees until finally but two pupils re- mained. Then Mr. Kunath resigned. The class was abolished, it is said, by a kind of consolidation process and since then the art institute has been without a special branch iu portraiture. Pupils who care to study the painting of the human face may do so in the life class. Anyhow the academy lost one of the best portrait painters of San Francisco. In Los Angeles Mr. Kunath opened a studio and hoped to find a remunerative tield for his talents. Fortunately for him- self he secured a position as teacher in the local art school, but it was not enough to wed him to the southern city. “Itis the worst city of its size for an artist that I ever visited,” he said. “Art seemed to have no place whatever there. It was all potboilers, potboilers. I had many letters of introduction to good eople there, and I was in several of the est houses of Los Angeles. see in any of them one good picture. Think of it!” “What was on those walls?” “Prints and potboilers.”” “Everything is money; evervthing is real estate down there, but art!” and the artist threw up his hands with a gesture that was eloquent. : ““We gave an exhibition, and I must say there was a really good collection of pictures, The artists of Southern Califor- nia contributed many fine things. On the first night the place was crowded, and it was a fashionable gathering, After that not one came to look at the pictures. The exhibition remained open for two weeks, I suppose because that was the original intention, but nobody thought it worth while to drop in and see the paint- ings. What was worst of all nota single picture was sold. “It seemed to me that all the people who cared for art or who bought pictures lived in Pasadena. In thatlittle city they have a good deal of the right feeling, but there are more artists there than can make a living, almost. “No, [ am very d to be back again here, even though San Francisco could do better in the way of appreciation of art and local artists.” Mr. Kunath has taken up his brush and paleitein a new studio at 14 Grant nue and is engaged on a portrait of a beautiful girl and a Southern California landscape. HARRISON GULCH. Lively Gold Camp in the Southwestern Part of Shasta. During the last few weeks considerable important work has been done on mining property st Harrison Gulch, and a good deal of gold has been taken out. The dis- trict is sixty miles from Red Bluff, in the extreme southwestern part of Shasta County. A few days ago Price & Son made a test of 200 pounds of ore brought down from the Lucky Baldwin property there, and turned over $14 to the owners after all the expenses were paid. The ore was found to run $225 clear in gold a ton. There is a group of mines there, of which the Baldwinisone. The othersare Grover Cleveland, Great American, Gold Hill and Bee Queen. They are all owned by J. J. Fowler and Messrs. Rhodes and Benton. They are also interested in the Gray Eagle and Eagle Bird. Several of the properties have produced good ore, and preparations are being made to do a large amount of work on them. A mill has been put up and has been ruuning steadily for some time. 3 An average of about eight has been handled, gLl the ore ‘being mined from the Gold Hill. It is said :gnt since January over $20,000 has been taken out. There is an abundance of water there for all the g:rpm of mining and milling, and there also plenty of timber, On ! man), 8. G.

Are Studying the Bronzed Savages on Their Native Heath and Col- . lecting Rare Curios. By the last steamer which arrived here from Hawaii it was learned that the Count and Countess Festetics had sailed on their yacht, the Tolns, among the islands of New Britain. At last accounts they were at the island of Mioko, of German New Britain, where they were studying the savages and making collections of various souvenirs of the islands. They are moving about as the whim takes them, having no well defined plans, but staying as long in a given place as it is found interesting. Then the prow of the Tolna is turned and they go somewhere else. It is said to be their intention, however, to stay a long time in the islands of New Britain. There are many of them, and in some of them are volcances and in others snow- capoed mountains. The Augusta River in German New Guinea is navigable for 200 miles, and passes through a country but little known and of remarkable in- terest. It is not improbable that they may ascend this river and study the bronzed savages in all their wildness in their natural fastnesses. For a long time the Count has eschewed newspapers altogether. Neither does he communicate with his friends, so that the Count and Countess are for a period to all intents out of the world. Itis not known when they will conclude to return home. This is the first news that has been heard of the Tolna and her cruise for a long time. BUNKER HILL DAY. Every Whistle Will Blow, Every Pole 'Will Sport the Stars and Stripes.
