An adjournment lowed and McNab w triumphant. Democrats could not last night recall another Congressionai convention in this State which had been held on a few hours’ warning on notice sent out in the small hours of the night with a “Sh! sh!” to everybody concerned. Most of the dele- gates didn’t learn of the ‘convention’ until last evening. The way in which McNab stole forth in the darkness with his moccasin tread and suddenly quncing on the unsuspecting Maguire declared him nominated for Congress was highly amusing to many. It the entire Junta delegation should be seated at Sacramento and the Buckley delegation wholly shut out this affair of last night would thus be made the regu- lar Democratic Congressional Convention of the Fourth District and no second,one would be held. Should it turn out that way McNab’s Congressional convention would become historical. McNab created it and when the right instant arrived McNab ended it. But Gavin is elated at baving out- tricked the Buckleyites in the Fourth Congressional District. It is a forcible re- minder of the way we used to play “poison’’ when we were kids. McNab was afraid that if it leaked out that the Junta Democrats of the Fourth Congressional District were going to nom- inate Maguire they would send out run- ners and hold a convention before supper- time. He was also afraid that if people knew about it something in conflict with his programme would be worked up. But McNab accomplished two things last night. He “squared’’ the Junta as far as it could be done for sitting down on Maguire as unworthy to represent the party in its National council, and he got in another defense of himself against the A, P. A. charges against him. He also demonstrated his ability as a political leader and his possession of those ualities of a true boss that make men follow him. This coup is thought likely to strengthen him in the party and to aid him in his reaching for control of the State Central Committee for himself, Daggett and Gould. A leader who can shake a trump like that out of his sleeve at the right instant will be recognized as the one to lead the party to sublime victory. bobbed up with an ion which he wanted withdrew his motion hat purpose only. The resolution went through when it was read as e die quickly fol- relieved and gayly e POPULIST DOINGS. They Will Ride With Silver Men and Have Their Big City Pavllion. The California Populists and free-silver men have made a combination, and one that is quite far-reaching. an 1t is not the kind of & combination that Americ rship God—and pro religions which- it doe§ not share by de- | ¢ those who hold them not only of political _privileges, but of * the 1 right of earning, their ,Subsist- ace in the “fields of legitimatd labor. We denounce further the | ments. t likely to find | has. been and will be looked for, however. | They bave combined only on the trip to | their respective National conventions, which will convene in St. Louis on July | 92, and the combination reaches that dis- | fahce. The twodelegations will go together | with their friends in a sprcial train. The special train will be adapted to its purpose and the wants benind it, as special | trains generally are. It will be composed partly of nice, clean, comfortable tourist sleepers, in which the berths will cost $6 for the trip one way in addition tc round-trip fare of $67 50. It is quite likely that there will be one or two first-class Pullman sleepers with silver-plated fixings, and with berths at §15, for some of the sil- ver men and possibly some of the Popu- lists, who may not be satisfied with tourist- car simplicity. The train is expected !n make pretty good time. It will probably go over the Central route to Pueblo and thence over the Missouri Pacific. It will be decorated with wild flowers and there will be no carload of wine. — The Populists are going to have their big pavilion on that belittered rhomboid on Market street, opposite the City Hall, vhere the toboggan-cars used to run. It will be one of the features of the campaign. The special committee of the Connty Ex- ecative Committee, of which Chairman E. S. Barney is a member, has leased one lot, 50x100 feet in size, and expect to getsoon an adjoining piece of similar size. About $1000 will be spent on a big pavilion that, like the Jewish Tabernacle, will have valls and a tent roof. The sides will be of corrugated iron, the kinks, however, hav- ing no significance. There will be a can- vas roof, seats for 3000 or more people and rooms for county and State headquarters, etc: This big party headquarters and rallying-place is estimated to cost about 20 cents per San Francisco Populist, and it will be paid for by popular contributions and assessments. The State Executive Committee of the People’s party will meet to-morrow to or- ganize, to do something about the three Congressional campaigns about to open, to make arrangements about the St. Louis trl}x, and so on. The Populists are undecided what to do about making a Congressional nomination in the Fourth District. They admire and respect Maguire and indorse his official course in most respects, but he isnot a Populist. Many are waiting to see what he says about the party’s platform. There is a disposition on the part of many lead- ers who are not radical ‘“middle-of-the- road’’ Populists to help elect ‘‘the best man” in cases where they bave no chance to win, and itis likely that this will be done in Maguire’s case. They will not in- dorse him in that event, but will simply make no nomination. The local Populists are much divided or are on_the fence regarding the new char- ter. The party will probably not deal with it but leave it to individual judg- _T. V. Cator, the party nominee for United States Senator, has been heiping out the Populist campaign in Oregon. ADDRESSED BY MAGUIRE Graduates of the National Law School Receive a Most Intellectual Treat. Natural Justice Does More in Guiding the Courts Than the Written Statutes. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 1.—Repre- sentative Maguire addressed the graduates of the National Law School of Washing- ton to-night, and after congratulating them upon having happily and success- | fully closed the first great period in their vrofessional careers, and speaking of the achievements and honors open to them, he said: ‘That know.edge is power may be more truly said of the legal profession than of any other. The function of a lawyer is | not the simple clerical work of finding the statute as it is written, bus the determina- tion of ito true and rightful application to the unforeseen complications of fact, in each of the infinitely varying cases arising under ir. “Do not imagine for a moment,” he said, “that legal principle and legal reason have lost any of their importance through the substitution of written statutes for the common law. The principles of legal in- terpretation having for their foundation natural justice between man and man must now, as under the common law, | guide the courts of our land in the appli- | cation of statutes to conflicts arising among men. “All statutes were presumed to have been passed for the purpose of more per- | fectly establishing justice, and upon that presumption courts resolved doubts con- | cerning the meaning of statutes in favor of | human liberty, human equality and natu- ral justice.” He advised the graduates to make a profession and not a business of law, and | to make faithful interpretation of the law | their primary purpose and money-getting their secondary purpose. He said this will bring both honor and wealth; the other may bring wealth, but not honor. He characterized the money-getting law- vers as “‘priests of Mammon, falsely offici- | ating in the temple of Justice.” | Inclosing he said as a resuit of his ex- perience and observation that more uni- versal good will exists among lawyers than in any other profession, and assured the graduates that everywhere the real lawyers of the country will be found ready to assist rather than retard them ir the accomplishment of their ambitions. Judge Maguire was loudly applauded and was presented with a handsome basket of roses from the students. Among the post-graduates receiving de- grees were M. F. Odonogue and Morris Bien of San Francisco. g R Of Interes: to the Pacific Coast. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 1.—A post- office was to-day established at Minneola, San Bernardino County. Frank C.

LAVIGNE BESTS RICHARD BURGE, Lively Fighting Before the National Sporting Club. IN SEVENTEEN ROUNDS. Heavy Punching From the Start That Greatly Delighted the Britishers. “KID” MAKES THE RUSHES Plucky Work That Causes the Knock- out of England’s Lightweight Champion. LONDON, Excraxp, June 1.—The match between Kid Lavi, and Dick Burge, the light weight champion of England, was fought to-night at the National Sporting Club, and resulted in a'victory for Lavigne in the seventeenth round. & Burge scaled 138 pounds and Lavigne 134. The Englishman was a good favorite atodds of 7 to 4 on. The fight was for the international lightweight championship of the world, a purse of $3500 and a side bet of $2500. In the first round Lavigne made a dash at his opponent and landed heavily on his body. He tried the same tactics the sec- ond time, but Burge dodged and Lavigne went headlong against & post, striking his face and injuring himself badly. This, however, did not prevent bim forcing the fighting, and he rushed again at Burge and rapidly landed several blows on his body. Burge was driven against the ropes. Thereafter he traveled all over the ring, meeting several rushes in gooa style, but was kept very busy in defending him- self. In the second round Lavigne resumed his rushing, but Burge held him off and dodged cleverly. Then both became cau- tious and neither did any scoring for some time. Then Burge landed heavily with his right and left on Lavigne's eye and mouth, the latter responding with heavy body biows. In the third round Burge assumed the offgnsive and landed several times on Lavigne’s face, but his blows lacked force and did no harm. Then Lavigne began again to cut out the work and punished Burge severely on the chest and other parts of the body. at Burge's head and missed him, and his sparring then became wild and he received a couple of blows in the face. There were a series of great ralliesin the fourth round, which ended in Burge's favor. champion were now jubilant at the pros- pects of their favorite. In the fiith round Burge was cantioned for holding to Lavigne. Fast fighting fol- Jowed and Burge was still improving. In the sixth round Lavigne forced the fighting, vpressing his rival to the ropes | and putting in several heavy blows. In the seventh and eighth neither man had much advantage. Burge came up very cool in the ninth round and repeatedly jabbed his opponent | severely. At the beginning of the tenth the fight- ing was very fast, Lavigne driving the En- glishman to the ropes. Burge workedall around the ring, dodging Lavigne's rushes. Eventually the Englishman landed with terrific force on Lavigue’s ear. Rapid exchanges followed. There were fast exchanges in the eleventh round, but neither man had much advantage. The twelfth was shightly in Lavigne’s favor. He landed first but was well coun- tered. This round was fast and exciting. At the end of the round both men sprawled upon the floor. Lavigne renewed bis rushing in the thirteenth round, but was weil met. The round was hotly contested, but Lavigne finished the best. In the fourteenth round Burge led the attack, but fell short. The “Kid” failed to rush, but in his second attempt he landea twice on Burge’s ribs. The ex- changes were then much slower than in the previous round. Just before the end of the round Bufge landed an ugly blow on his opponent’s arm, which caused him to wince. In the fifteenth the men were frequently locked and there were some heavy ex- changes. Burge drove his opponent’s arm very low. The supporters of Lavigne claimed a foul, but it was not allowed. At the beginning of the sixteenth round Tavigne made a farious rush at the =nglishman, but missed him: and slipped through the ropes. Burge awaited his re- turn to the ring. After this Burge was knocked down, and whea he got on his feet he was very groggy. Later ie slipped, but recoverea bimself and was again knocked down. In the seventeenth and last round Burge acted on the cefensive and recovered some, but the “Kid” cut out the pace ata tremendous rate. His body blows began to tell. Burge stubbornly resisted until he was knocked down by a long right- handed blow, falling face downward. The Englishman was counted out and Referee Angle declared Lavigne the winner. The fight was exciting throughout, but with the exception of one or two rounds, Burge never looked ke a winner. The fight he put up surprised everybody, as he was thought to have a soft thing.

The Vice-President’s Daughter to Be- come the Wife of the Rev. Mr. Hardin To-Day. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jone 1.—An elaborate soiid silver service adjorned the center-table of the President’s room in the Capitol to-day, where 1t was privately viewed by the Senators. It is their gift to Miss Julia Etevenson, daughter of Vice- President Stevenson, who is to be married to-morrow evening to Rev. Mr. Hardin of Kentucky. The service consists of a large silver salver, teapot, hot water-pot, sugar- bowl, cream-jug, tea-caddy and refuse- bowl, upon each of which is Miss Steven- son’s monogram and the inscription that it is the gift of the United States Ssnators to her on the occasion of her marriage. The presentation of this appropriate remembrance was made to Miss Stevenson at the Hotel Normandy thzs evening by Senators Morrill and Harris, the oldest members respectively on the Republican and Democratic sides of the chamber. Miss Stevenson in a few well-chosen words accepted the Senators’ present. ‘The gift was presented with the following letter: WASHINGTON, I C., June 1, 1896. Dear Miss Stevenson: In view of your ap- proaching marriage the members of the United States Senate were prompted to make ¥ou u bridal present as a token of their per- sonal regard for the daughter of the Vice-Presi- dent, und the undersigned were designated in behalf of the Senate to present it for your ac- ceptance, as it is our great pleasure now to do.

HARBIS, | VARIED WORK BEFORE CONGRESS, No Agreement Yet Reached on Appropriations for Indians. RIGHTS OF CITIZENSHIP. Opposition to Its Proposed Ex- tension to the Five Civil- ized Tribes. THAT HISTORICAL FRIEZE. Argument on the Bill to Prohibit Issuance of Interest-Bear- ing Bonds. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 1.—The conference report on the Indian appro- priation bill was discussed for a couple of hours to-day, but agair went over without action. The question that has been so rauch debated in the Senate for nearly a week past is the proposition 1n that report to impose duties and rights of citizenship on the Indians of the five civilized tribes, it being claimed by the Senators opposed to it that it is a violation of the treaty with those Indians. The report itself is only a partial one, the conference not having agreed apon the proposed temporary continuance of con- tract schools for Indian children. A joint resolution appropriating $6000 for the completion of the historical frieze in the rotunda of the Capitol provoked a discussion in which Hawley of Connecti- cut criticized the painting, both for what it represented and for what it failed to reoresent, President Cleveland being in the first class and the surrender of Ap- pomattox in the other. Finally objection ‘was made by Wilson of Washington to the consideration of the resolution, and it went over without action. The conference report on the fortifica- tion bill was presented and agreed to. The private pension bill which was ve- toed by the President last week because of the misdescription of the soldier’s regi- ment was reported to-day with this mis- take corrected and was passed. Another veto of a private pension bill was presented to-day. It was the case of a renewal of a pension to the widow of a soldier in the Mexican war after she had married a second time, thirty-five years ago, and forfeited her pension. The mes- sage and bill werq referrea to the Com- mittee on Pensions. The bill to prohibit the further issuance of interest-bearing bonds without the con- sent of Congress was taken up at 2 o’clock. An argument was made against it by Cul- lom of Illinois, who declared that the con- sequences of its pussage wonld be so far- reaching as to be simply appaliing, but that there was no danger of its passage by the House of Representatives. The bill was ad- vocated by Brown of Utah. in connection with a resolution offered by himself to- day declaring that “in the opinion of the Senate the Secretary of the Treasury has no authority under the act of January 14, 1875, to issue any further or other bonds in addition to those already 1ssued, and that any such bonds that may hereafter be issued by him would be witkout the authority of law and void. The bill went over without action, and at 5:55 o’clock the Senate adjourned until to-morrow at 11 o'clock. e SESSION OF THE HOUSE. A4 Vacancy Declared in the Seventh South Cawolina District. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 1.—The House to-day disposed of the contested election case of Johnston vs. Stokes from the Seventh District of South Carolina by adopting the view of Chairman McCall (R.) of Massachusetts of the Elections Committee No. 3, which considered the case. By a vote of 130 to 125 it was de- cided that no legal election for Represen- tative in this Congress had been had in the district and the seat was declared vacant. The Republicans divided upon this proposition and it was supported by the unanimous Democratic vote. The majority reported in favor of Stokes and the minority in favor of Johnston, This being suspension day the rules were suspended and the following bills were passed : House bill validating the refunding and railroad bonds issued by the Territory of New Mexico of Santa Fe and Grant coun- ties and of Silver City. House bill authorizing the appointment of a labor committee of twenty members to investigate the relations of labor and capital, and to report to Congress desirable legislation in relation thereto. Senate bill extending until January 1, 1897, the provisions of the acts of June 25 1890, and of August 3, 1894, so as to author- ize the refunding of all the obligations of the Territory of Arizona and of its political subdivisions. The House bill extending the jurisdic. tion of the United States courts in Indian Territory, providing for the laying out of the towns and the leasing of coal and other mineral, timber, farming and graz- ing lands in the Territory, was taken up, but the vote on its passage disciosed the lack of a quorum, and at 5:20 o’clock, on motion of Sherman (R.) of New York, the House ad journed. Presidential vetoes of the bills to pay W. H. Mahoney $500 for an Oregon In- dian war bond of 1836, on the ground that it had been paid; to pension Mrs. Amanda Woodcock and to restore Jona- than Scott to the pension rolls, were read and referred. A supplemental conference report on the sundry civil appropriation bill, show- ing an agreement upon all items save the appropriations for certain public build- ings, was made by Cannon (R.) of Il- linois and agreed to. — TO REORGANIZE THE NAVYX. An Important Bill Is Agreed Upon in Comimittee. WASHINGTON, D. C. June 1.—The sub-committee of the House Naval Com- mittee which has been engaged for some weeks in the preparation of|a bill to re- organize the navy has fnished its labors. The bill which it will report to the full committee relieves the ‘*hump'’ of the line by creating a reserve list and placing upon it the officers whose presence now produces the “hump.” In a general way this feature of the bill follows closely the sections of the Meyer bill reported | from the committee in the last Congress.

It Enters Its Final Stage in the Court of Claims. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 1.—The famous La Abra claim against Mexico, which has been before the courts and Con- gress for thirty years or more, entered upon its final stage before the Court of Claims this morning. The claim was for mining property in Mexico belonging to a | New York company, alleged to have been destroyed by Mexican forces because of | hostility to the United States. An award | for a large amount was made by a com-} mission against the Mexican Government, | and a portion of that award was paid over to the claimants, but before the balance could be turned over allegations of fraud were made by the Mexican Government and the United States State Department stopped paymént of the award and re- ferred the question to Congress, which finally directed the Court of Claims to re- open the case and make a finding as to the facts. Ex-Secretary Foster, ex-Assistant Attorney-General Maury and Crammond | Kennedy avpeared as counsel in the case. NICARAGUA' CANAL BILL, Report of the House Commerce Committee Recommending Federal Aid. Exception Taken to the Estimates Made by the Ludlow Board of Engineers. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 1.—The repert of the House Commerce Committee on the Nicaragua canal bill was submitted to-day without the remotest 1dea that any such bill, however amended, can receive the slightest attention from Congress at | this late period of 1its session. The sub- jects discussed are comprehensive, includ- ing the action of seismic forces, tbe rail- road auxiliary queslion, the precedent of the Suez canal in the issue of bonds and the lessons learned from the Chicago drainage canal as to appliances for dredg- ing. The report takes exceptions to the conclusions of the Ludlow Board of Engineers as to the unit prices of dredg- ing and excavating ana the board’s esti- mates for earth embankments. Instead of $133,000,000, which is the Lnd- low board’s estimate of the cost of the canal, the committee figures a possible total cost of $82,000,000, and expects that $100,000,000 would be an ample allowance for cost of construction, even admitting the necessity for adopting the committee’s | suggestions and modifications. The com- mittee believes that che Government should assist the company to complete the | work, even if it cost $150,000,000 or more. | The report is signed by Sherman of New York, Doolittle of Washington, Wanger of | Pennsylvania, Joy of Missouri, Stewart of | Nevada, Rusk of Maryland and Ellett of | Virginia. i A number of modifications in the pend- | ing bill are suggested by Doolittle and Sherman, the sub-committee appointed | for that purpose, to meet some of the ob- | jections of the commission of engineers. | 2 s Postoffice Appropriations. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 1.—The | conferees on the postotlice appropriation | bill, which went to them more than a | month ago, to-day completed their first | report on the measure. Only one item, | that autnorizing the Postmaster-General | to consolidate outlying or suburban offices | with the central office, remains now in | disagreement. The principal items as | agreed to are: Clerk hire in postoffices, | $10,400,000; free delivery service, $12,-| 818,000, of which $10,000 shall be used for | experimental service in rural communi- ties. e A Conscience Contribution.
