L FILLMORE'SREIGN ENDS Division Superintendent Frazier Takes His Place To Day. Railway Employes F:el Anxious. Banquet to the Retiring Official. With the passing of the present month the Southern Pacific Com.pany loses one of its oldest and most trusted employes and the management of the company inaugu- rates one of the most sweeping and im- portant changes that have taken place on this coast in several years past. Several ‘months ago Luther Filimore, who for fifteen years has been superin- tendent of the Santa Cruz narrow-gauge division of the company, notified his em- sloyers that Lis failing health would no {nnger ermit him to fulfill certain aunties imposed upon him by changes wrought by General Manager Kruttschnitt, and that his resignation would be placed in their hands, to take effect on June L Following out iis policy of retrench- ment, which has already consolidated out many old and tried employes of the com- pany, it was determined not to appoint a successor to Mr. Fillmore, but to piace his duties on the shoulders of some other em- ploye and thus save a lat salary as well as the stipend of a number of assistants,-who could easily be dispensed with when the superintenient gave up his office. he coast division., which has been under Superintendent J. L. Frazier’s con- trol for a couple of Jears past. did not ap- pear to bave taxed his energies to any | great extent and it was decided to con- solidate the entire narrow-gauge system that has been under Superinteandent Fill- more’s control with the coast division. The old Santa Cruz division comprises the Qakland and Alameds locals and the line to San Jose and Santa Cruz on the east of the bay. 3 The new consolidated division will give Superintenaent Frazier a large number of emploves under him, and much anxiety is felt among those who are affected by the change as to whether he will pursue any further course of retrenchment. B It is a foregone ~onclusion that the cler- ical force of Mr. Fillmore’s office is to be reduce to a larce extent, and it is thought but natural that some of those who served under the retiring sug«flntendem will have to give way to the friendsof Mr. Frazier. How many ‘will go and their names are =tiil matiers of conjecture. The apvrecintion of those who bave served under Mr. Fillmore will be shown to-morrow night when a grand banquet and reception will be tendered him at the Hotel Crellin, Oakland, by the railroad employes. ———— League of the Cross Rally.

SPEEDWELL ‘A SURPRISE She Won in Her Own Class Under Working Canvas and Tow- ing a Skiff. THE HARPOON LED THE FLEET. Only One Accident Marred Pleasures of a Splendid Day’s Sport. the The members of the Corinthian Yacht Club turned out in force yesterday at the The showing was not as good as expected, however, as only sixteen out of the thirty-four yachts entercd went over the starting line. The day was a periect one for sailing and some of the | boats made records that will be hard to beat. The Speedwell, Elia and Clara had ading-dong race from start to finish. The former was in anything but trim and had only her working sails set. Besides this she towed a skiff bebind during the entire run. The Elia finished first and the Clara second, but much to the surprise of every- body the Speedwell won on time allow- ance. Had she been in racing trim she would have easily passed the winning- stake boat first. Only one accident marred the day’s sport. A small sloop with five men in it was run down by the tug Redmond, and two of the men‘were knocked overboard. The sloop was under the lee of the schooner America and Captain Shaw did not see it until too late. The tug struck the boata glancing blow, but did httle damage. H. Macdon- ald and J. Soule, the two men who were knocked out of the boat, were picked up by Jack Barr and Morris Bean and landed st Poweli-street wharf. Captain Butt got the revenue cutter Hartley under way, but before she reached the scene tie boat- men had picked the men up and were on their way back to the landing with them. The rourse was an imaginary line drawa from the foot of Taylor street toa stake- At this point the time was taken. Thence to and around the Presidio shoal-buoy; leaving the same on the port hand; thence to and | around Blossom Rock buoy, leaving same on port hand; thence due north two and three-eighths (23) miles to and around a stakeboat, anchored at the intersection of continued imaginary lines drawn from Sausalito Point through Point Blunt, and from the westerly point of Goat island through Goat Island siioal-buov, leaving same on port hand; thence to and around keeping Alcatraz Island on starboard hand, leaving buoy on port hand; thence to starting line, finish- ing between stakeboat and seawall. The vachts passed the winning post in the following order: Arcturus, Nereid, Guinevere, Harpoon, mma, Truant, Elia, Clara, Zolus, Speedwell, Mignon. The others did not finish. The time occupied in covering the course | was as follows: E Harpoon. Emma.. Mignoa. Troant Zolus. [ RN The Speedwell won in the first class, the Harpoon in the second, the Truant in the third and the Arcturusin the yawl class. Each winning yacht receives a prize flag for the year 1896, Everything passed off without a bitch, and W. A. Barlage, C. W. Platt and H. E. Pennell, the regatta com- mittee, deserve great credit for the man- ner in which everytning was carried out. The Redmond was the judges’ boat, and tlie Liberty took a party of Corinthians around the course. THE COMING CARNIVAL. Appointment of Several New Important Committees—A Pair of Queens.

THE LEGAL ASPECT OF IT Citizens Indignant at the Latest Movement of the Rail- road. MERCHANTS ARE PROTESTING. Serious Injury to the Town Predicted by Residents and Business Men. Zlamedsa is much exercised over the pro- | vosed placing of gates on the local trains | in that suburb, and decided action is being urged on the Town Trustees by indignant citizens, who claim that the company has no right to nse the objectionable barriers. William Hammond, one of the Town Trustees, has no use for gates on trains and he is confident that his colleagues on the board are of the same mina as he. “Will any official action be taken to pre- vent the proposed course of the railroad ?’ he was asked. “Mbst decidedly action will be taken, and that promptly, too, as soon as we are certain that the company contempiates such a2 move,” he replied, ani then con- tinued: “A motion will be made that the City Attorney look into the matter and ascer- tain if the company has the right to keep people from riding free on their trains in Alameda. If they have the right we can, of course, do nothing legally to prevent their carrying out the plan, but I think in that case there will be some joint public action taken by the people to protest against the measure. “1f, however, the company should be found to be acting in violation of the rights of the "people no effort will be spared to make them conform strictly to the law. I believe that when the fran- chise was granted it was agreed tha: for so many years—I don’t remember exactly how many—they were to carry the people of Alameda‘from one place to another free of eharge. “I sincerely hove that they will not at- tempt to charge our residents fare. For them to do so would be to show base in- gratitude, for the citizens of Alameda, right straight thrcugh, from the Trustees to the humolest private resident, have been very favorably and generously in- clined toward the big corporations. “During the great strike of two years ago, for instance, we stood by the railroad and gave them every possible assistance, moral and physical. e even went so far as to appoint a special policeman, who was paid by the city, to protect the railroad property. +1 would, indeed, be very, very sorry to see gates put on the trains here. Th re is no doubt in my mind but that it wowid be a serious detriment to the merchants of Park street and others in this part of Ala- meds.” B. L. Fisher of Combs & Fisher, butchers and grocers, was inclined to view the situation as one likely to stimulate Ala- medans to greater energy and enterprise s0 as to retain their trade as against Oak- lan; “The way I look at it 1s this,” explained Mr. Fisher. *“These people in Oakland are offering inducements to our residents to go over there. They are even going to the extent of offerine to pay their carfare, and if they put gates on our trains it may wake up ourrop le and show them the neces- sity of doing something to guara against the evil effect of such action. “The use of gates would certainly be in- jurious to us, if we did not do something to induce people to come to this part of town to do their shopping. We should either provide, free buses for them or ar- range to pay their carfare.” One of the members of the real estate firm of H. P. Moreal & Co. did not seem to think it feasible that the Southern Pa- cific would dare to adopt a measure which was certain to_be detrimental 10 the inter- ests of Alameda. “This news struck so suddenly,” he said, ““we hardly know what to say about, itor just how it will affect things. Of course it will be detrimental, and particu- larly to this end of Alameda, but to what extent it is difficult to say. If gates are nut on the cars and a fare charged for rid- ing from one point in Alameda to another it will have 8 direct tendency to kill the retail trade that is now growing up on Park sireet and this section. It will cer- tainly drive the bulk of the Alameda west- end trade to Oakland if the people have to pay carfare.” ‘W. Mitchell, proprietor of the Park- street Cash store, dealer In groceries, saw the partial depopulation of Alameda asthe re-ult of tue pro) d innovation. “I think it will drive people away from the town of Alameda,” he said in tones of mingled protest and serrow. ‘‘People come to a town in a large measure owing The Harpoon Leads the The Speedwell Towing Her Skiff Is Shown to the attractions and accommodations they hope to enjoy, and if these hopes are disappointed they are pretty sure to move back to the place they left or somewnere else. *‘As soon as peopie have to pay fares on the trains it will certainly divert trade. | People will then prefer to go to Oakland. “[ have quite made up my mind that if the railroad company puts on the gates, and it affects business as I believe it will, I shall take my business somewhere else. There are no strings on me, and [ am sure others think the same way that I do.” i S BERKELEY TRAINS TOO. The Railroad Company Would Not Slight That Town Either. BERKELEY, CarL., May 30.—The report has again been widely circulated, and ap- parently on good foundation, that gates | similar to those on the Oakland trains will | soon be put on the Berkeley locals, and | with the apnouncement again come ex- | pressions of dissatigfaction and indigna- tion on the part of the citizens. | They claim that the placing of gates will make but little difference in the amount of free riding, as under the present condi- tion it is permitted only between North Berkeley and Dwight way. Some believe that the report relating to | the putting on of gates is merely a further carrying out of the plan to start the rumor repeatedly in order to get the people into a frame of mind to eventually accept the measure without protest. At least six times in the last year the same report has been spread abroad. But others believe that owing to the several comparatively recent serions acci- dents in Berkeley and the consequent losses to the railroad company the barriers to the cars will really soon be put on. (FOR ST, LOUIS SUFFERERS Mayor Sutro Heartily in Favor of a Local Mass- Meeting. He Says San Francisco Should Take the Initiative as a Good Samaritan. Ma;or Sutro said yesterday, when inter- viewed by & CALL reporter as to whether he had contemplated starting in motion any municipal recognition and Nationai aid for the storm-sufferers of St. Louis: “It is just what San Francisco should do. Her hospitality and generosity are famous over all the country, and she should take the initiative in such & Good Samaritan step. I myself am not Mayor at present; | I am taking a vacation. Mr. Taylor is | Mayor. Still, were I at present actively in | office I should certainly issue a call to the | citizens of San Francisco for a mass-meet- | ing immediately to be heid, and I would | appoint a committee for taking subscrip- tions for the aid of those poor people who have had their homes ruined. “This is a terrible thing, something that occurs only once or twice in a century; and when one city is the victim every otuer city in the land should go gladly to its assistance. “San Francisco should take the initia- tive of the cities on this coast. Yes, it is an excellent idea and shouid be put into operation right away.” Taylor Rogers said: *I would suggest that the Supervisors at theirnext meeting, on Mondey, adopt resolutions to the effect that a mass-meeting be called which shall take into consideration the propriety of relief for the stricken city. That would give the movement a status and force which individual citizenship would not confer. “San Francisco should be the leading California city in this, particularly on ac- count of her vpast repuiation for gen- erosity. No city has the déserved reputa- tion for generous giving more than San Francisco. “Anofher reason why we should give, and freely give, is that we are a long way off from the East, and as Brother Cleve- land has observed, we are semi-civilized. This now will be an opportunity to show those ultra-civilized peopie beyond the Rocky Mountains that we can indeed .ap- | preciate their suffering and are not slow to come forward among the first to re- lieve. It is the old, old story, ‘Cast your bread upon the waters, etc.’ | *‘Ii the Board of Supervisors should pass such a resolution, there would be no dif- ficulty whatever in getting up a mass- meeting. Itshould be strictly non-relig- | ious end non-partisan in every sense of the word. Undoubtedly the Chamber of Commerce and the merchants would take nold of the undertaking. It is sometiing that should be done and that imme- diately.”” e A Home Thrust. A mild argument had been in progress over the imporfance which woman has as- sumed as a worker in competition with men. “Thur ain’t no use in talkin’,” he as- serted aggressively. ‘““Thur’s a hull lot o’ things thet & man kin do thet a woman can’t.”” “I'd like ter know some of 'em?” she resnonded with a contemptuous sniff. - “Wal, fur_instance, she can’t sharpen a lead pencil.” ] "spose thet’s so,” she answered slowly. %] 'spose thet’s so. T'li hev ter give in ter ye thur. But I notice that ef she can’t sharpen a lead pencil she kin take an’ ax an’ go out ter the wood pile an’ split kind- lin’ right reg’lar.

Speaker Champions the Abolition of the Sweater System. TALEKED OF PATRIOTISM. Audience Applauded When He Said That Cuba Should Be Free. THREE LITTLE A. P. A. GIRLS. The Speaker R:ceived anm Ovation at Metropolitan Temple After a Year’s Absence. J. Q. A. Henry, D.D., a champion of the American Protective Association, deliv- ered an address at Metropolitan Temple last evening to a large and very enihusi- astic audience. He has been absent from the City over a year. His reception at the temple last evening amounted to an ova- tion. As he walked down the center aisle the audience arose, cheered him, waved handkerchiefs and swung hats. On the stage he found a bank of flowers at his feet, and over his head, amidst a canopy of red. white and blue streamers, hung these words in letters of red and gold: “Our Hero Has Returned.” It was easy to see that he was not insensible to the greeting, ana 1n opening his address later he said as much. “The Star Spangled Banner,” ‘“Yankee Doodle” and ‘“Amer- 1ca,”’ played on the big organ as preludes, ad aroused the audience. rayer was off-red by Rev. Dr. Hobart; and among the preliminary exercises were a song by “‘Baby’’ Burns, a duet by “‘two little A. P. A.s,” both of which were en- cored, music by a brass band and some re- marks by Mr. Hudelson. The subject of Rev. Mr. Henry’s ad- dress was “The New Emancipation Procla- mation.” He said: “It_is not easy even at this day to understand the real meaning of our civil war. Twenty-five years ago to look upon the old flag would awaken the profoundest emotions. But now, possibly, our memorie§ are losing their grasg on why that great sacrifice was made. It is not so easy to-day to awaken emotions over the flag, and it seems to me sometimes that we are forgetting the heroes who died in that great struggle, and the principle for which they shed their life’s blood. But we must not forget. There are some, though, who are jealous of the vrivilege given by this da; of perpetuating their memories. e shoula honor our heroic dead, so that we may be true Paul Reveres, true sons of George Washington, John Brown and Abraham Lincoln. God pity this country when it ceases to -be influential by the spirit that animated these illustrious herces. They are as heroic in our history as Leonidas, as Thermopyl® or any inci- dentof the history of the ancient Greeks. We can understand those words of Arnold Winkelreid: *Make way for liberty.” he cried, “Make way for liberty—and died.” We can understand what Cuba is fightin, for and why, and, fellow-citizens, I tel you Cuba must be free. [Prolonged cheers.] “Side by side with all these politi- cal exigencies stood a great moral question. There is no such a spectacle in this world as that presented by our boysin blue fighting for a great moral question, the freedom of a race with which they bad no ties of consanguinity. ‘What a lesson and example in compassion for humanity ! “But we must remember that disloyalty was not ail killed at Gettysburg,’’ he’saiu. “The dogma of State’s rights still raises its head. It was no Irish make-believe when the Grand Army of the Republic let the President know what they thought of that dogma. i “But we must remember that the victo- ries of peace are yrester than those of war. Real prosperity comes o a people when their best efforts are turned to industry, art, commerce and philanthropy. We should not forget that loyalty in time of ace is rarer than in time of war. 1 be- R:ve the peril of our country to-day is greater than i 1861, be said. ‘‘The American gfonh bave been hypnotized and drugged. The danger is subtle, sur- reptitious, insidious and Jesuitical, and it has for a long time been eating in among the people. %an if the danger threatens too strong I believe our people will rise u with the spirit of ‘76 and ’61 and stamp it into tve earth. 1f we are willing to permit the destruction of the noble principles of our Government, then are we indeed-unworthy of our heroic dead. “Eternal vigilance 1s the price of liberty’ yet. William Lloyd Garrison and Wen- dell Phillips were as heroic as Sherman and Sheridan.” He referred to A. P. A, leaders of to-day as animated by the same spirit. “QOur older heroes will impart the old spirit to the youne men of to-day. and we all be able to save the heritage bought by the blood of our forefathers.” *‘We need a new emancipation proclama- tion, to-day,” he said, “as much as we needed it in 1861. The country is still full of slaves, though not of the same kind they are just as much slaves as the negro was. “We need a new proclamation to free 1,600,000 drunkards from the despotism of drink, for it is said that no drunkard shall enter the kingdom of heaven. The streets of San Francisco are fuil of men who are 1n the grasp of strong drink. Eqnull{ as many men and women are victims of lust. We need tnat these should be freed from their passions also. *‘We also need a new proclamation to free the 2,000.000 people who are com- pelled to toil seven days in the week. We should also plead for the abolition of the sweater system and 16 cents a day wages in our large cities.” The speaker also pleaded for the free- dom of the inmates of the 1405 monaster- ies, nunneries and convents in this coun- try, saying they were not permitted free- dom of mind. “I plead for 9,000,000 people,” he went ou, *who may be delivered From priestly rule. They have no conscience. They have no conscience because the priest has none; ne has no conscience because the Bishop has no conscience, and so on up to the Pope. 1 pray for these people in order that they may become good, true Ameri- can citizens. ~Let us put up the gates at Hellgate and the Golsen Gate and say to the people who would come, ‘If you love hberty, welcome; but if you love tyranny, stay where you are.” ““We need a new emancipation procla- mation in order to free 10,000,000 illiter- ates, and to free our cities from misrule. And we are going to do that. “*We need a new emancipation procla- | 'UNDERWEAR KNIT T0 ORDER. mation to free our churches from un- christianlike creed and practices. The weakness of Protestantism that we have got out of Romanism itseli—these are things that drive people from our doors. We need a new emancipation inspired by the Holy Ghost in order that we may wor- ship him as we have never worshiped Him before. _“We need a_new emancipation that will give to the 15,000,000 women of this coun- try the power to go to the polls and vote. [(lheersfi They will vote for temperance, chastity, purity. morality and for God. Then shall God’s sun shine upon a land that shall be pure aud free.” . Rev. Mr. Henry will remain in the City about a week. Thie afternoon at 3 o’clock he will speak at the same place on “Twenty Reasons Why I Hate Political Romaa- ism,” aud in the evening he will deliver an address at Odd Fellows’ Hall Colonel A. T. Bliss of Saginaw, Mich., owns about 130,000,000 feet of fine oak tim- ber in Arkansas, about eighty miles from Hot Springs, and 1t is his intention to organize a company and manufacture the timber.
