8 v HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 1896. W NOW COMES THE RATIFICATION. A Great Meeting in Met- ropolitan Temple To-Night. SUFFRAGISTSTO GATHER Ciubs All Over the State Will Celebrate Simul- taneously. FINE PROGRAMME PREPARED Many Prominent Pecple Amoug the Vice-Presidents—The San José Delegation. Metropolitan Temple will be the scene of great enthusiasm to-night at the ratifi- cation meeting of the suffrage plank. There are enough sympathizers to fill the building many times over, but it is hoped that non-sympathizers will also be pres- ent, and that their conversion will be speedy and sure. All over the State the various suffrage clubs will hold similar raeetings. Ardent speeches will be made by men and women who believe in equal rights for both sexes, and enthusiastic indorsement of the suffrage plank will be given. The amount of yellow ribbon worn in California to- night will be unprecedented in the history of the State. Yellow is the suffrage color, and Miss Shaw and Miss Yates, who arrived in this City yesterday from Hum- beldt County, report having left a long track of yeliow behind them whereve they lectured. At Fernda for suffrage, after hearing the ladies lec- ture, that the storekeepers draped their houses with the suffrage color, though to show that they believed its principles to be in keeping with true Americanism, they also used the red, white and biue in the decorations. All over Humboidt County there was the same enthusiasth, >t o en masse to the suffrage meet- s was that there was not a hall capable of holding the entire community. As it hundreds of people had to be turnea Shaw reports that she heard noth- ing but praise for THE CarL's stand on the suffrage question. Everywhere people read 1t with added interest on account of and she considers that this is one of the most hopeful signs for suffragists at the coming elect To-night M Shaw will “ratify” with even more than her wonted eloquence, for the occasion 1s one that she considersa red-ietter day in her life. For the matter of that ail the suffragists look upon it in the same light and the amount of concen- irated enthusiasm and eloquence which will be vented at the same time both here aud in the fifty odd suffrage clubs through- out the State will, is expectad, be enough to bring numbers of unbelievers »ffers into the suffrage fold. f citizens of San Jose are ing in Metropolitan Among those from the ty who will take a prominent proceedings as vice-presidents E. 0.

The whole was under the general super- vision of Father Brannan of St. Patrick’s parish. For amusement, dancing commenced irimediately upon the arrival of the trains, and in the “afternoon the athletic games began. There were forty different con- tests on the programme, from a tug-of-war to & race’open to women over 200 pounds in weight. There was a prize for every contest donated by merchants of the City. In the tug-of-war between the married and single men the former won, being in- formed by their better-halves who were present that they might expect domestic trouble if they were defeated. This en- couraged the benedicts and they pulled the bachelors all over Marin County. The race for 200-pound women was won by a fleet-focted matron who had been paced for a week by her daughterona bicycle. The fat men’s race was won by Thomas Doran, who got away in good style, lead all the way around and came under the wire in suburban time. Thirty-eight gate prizes were given to those whose tickets held lucky numbers. At6:30 o'clock in the evening the great crowd boarded a special train and re- turned to the City, having spent a most enjoyable day, with not an accident to mar the pleasure of the outing. AT THE RUINS. Search for the Bodies in the Wrecked House Will Begin This Morning. | The work of removing the wreckage of | the Brighton House on Fifth street will be | begun this morning. All day yesterday | the workmen were bracing up the Lincoln | House adjoining and strengthening the | foundation of the east wall. It was ex- | pected that the removal of the debris | would be commenced yesterday, but | trict Engineer Shaughnessey decided that | he would not allow any risk to be taken, | so he had more timbers put under the | building. | The first portion to be cleared away will | be the corner and side where it is believed | there are the dead bodies of one or two workmen who were caught in the crash None of the officials of the Fire Depar! | ment believe that there are any bodies | under the ruins, but many of those who were at work there just previous to the crash are certain that one or two will be found. Coroner Hawkins and Engineer 8haugh- nessey have been very busy gathering up the evidence in the case, so that the blame may be placed where it belongs. The | Coroner yesterday took W. Barnettand A. C. Lutgens, architects, to the wreck, and with Mr. Shaughnessey they weni to every part they could reach and carefully examined the timbers, bracings, etc. These entlemen, with several others in their ine who have gone over the premises, will be called as witnesses at the inquest. The inquest on the bodies of the four | | | morning at 9 o’clock. A large number of witnesses have been summoned, and the 1nvestigation is likely to consume consid- erable time. The workmen employed in removing the debris were kept busy all day yesterday carting away brick, broken lumber and dirt, and their operations were watched | by the usual large crowd. A large quan- tity of crockery and furniture was removed from the restaurant, and strange to say much was unbroken and in good con- aition.

Lue WARRIED MEN VICTORS The Parishioners of St. Patrick’s Have Their Annual Outing. A Day of Uninterrupted Pleasure Spent Under the Schuetzen Park Trees. The annual reunion of the parishioners of Bt. Patrick’s Church was observed ‘Wednesday by an excursion and picnic at Schuetzen Park, near San Rafaei. These reunions are held yearly by 8t. Patrick’s parish in aid of its schools, and they are always well attended and successful in every way. But Wednesday’s gathering was the largest ever held under the aus- pices of St. Patrick’s, for fully 2000 per- sons boarded the morning boats. The fare, 50 cents for adults and 25 cents round trip for children, made the price of a pleasant midweek outing within reach of all. . The following were the different com- mitiees, the members of which deserve mention for the excellent manner in which every detail of the affair was car- ried out: Committee of arrangements —T. L. Doran, airmen; James Gaffney, secretary; Pnnk‘ His machine is light and can be easily drawn by two horses. Moreover, it will be put on the market at a rate within the reach of all. The notable invention, which, by the way, is callea *“The Farmer’s Pride,” con- sists essentially of a central bar or frame front end, a roller or rollers transversely journaled at tne rear, and a pair of har- rows having their adjacent edges sus- pended from the intermediate portion of the bar, with simple mechanism by which the harrows may be raised or tilted or dropped at will. The ordinary seeder can be attached to the fore part of the harrows, can be omitted, tbe harrows can be used without the roller or the roller without the har- rows. In fact, the invention represents a complete cultivating apparatus that will undoubtedly prove popular. i The operation will be as follows: The machine having reached the place where 1t is to work the harrows are dropped, so as to rest npon the ground and the front end of the machine 1s adjusted up or down uypon the vertical shaft of the castor wheel (shown in the cut) give the harrows the proper angle of draft. When the har- rows are thus drawn over the ground they will act in the usual manner to pulverize and break up the soil and clods, and the rollers following behind will crush any large unbroken clods and will roll the sur- face down smoothly and even. The inventor of this ingenious and use- ful combination, which has already been tested and proved a success, is Martin Gottshall of Oakland, who, however, has assigned two-thirds of it to Leopold Kiefer and Andrew Kruechel of the same place. George Meyers has the patent rights to dispose of. he full weight of the mdchine, with operator on board, is barely 1100 pounds, 80 that it can readily be drawn by two horses. — .- Sullivan & Sullivan.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL BILL. | It Furnishes the Principal Topic of | Discourse—Other Important Questions. A meeting was held yesterday afternoon | by the Chamber of Commerce in honor of the Senators and Representatives of Cali- fornia who bave accompiished much for | the State with reterence to the improve- | ment of rivers and harbors in the recent session of Congress. Hugh Craig presided over the meeting. | He introduced to the members President | SBunodo of the Yokohama Specie Bank, and this gentleman, with the Japanese Consul, occupied the seats of honor, the former on the right hand and the latter on the left of the chairman. In presenting Mr. Sunodo Mr. Craig said the bank he represented would receive | the entire indemnity which China would pay to the empire of Japan in consequence of the recent war. A letter, as follows, was read from Senator White, who was unable to attend the meeting: | Los ANGELES, June 23, 1896. Captain W. L. Mcrry, Secretary Chamber of | Commerce: DEAR CAPTA ours of the 20th | inst., informing me that there has beena | meeting of the Chamber of Commerce called | for 2 o’clock P. M., June 25, has just beem re- ceived. I would be delighted to be present, but the circumstances are such that I cannot be there. However, this condition of affairs is rendered immaterial when you consider that 1am as earnest an advocate of the Nicaragua canalas any one in the chamber, and will do my best to forward it and push it t0 an early com- pletion. Yours sincerely, STEPHEN M, WHITE. Congressman Barham was the first speaker. He said: ““I am pleased to meet you. and better pleased inasmuch as Sena- tor White seems to voice the sentiments | that have called us together. The bill | which provides for the construction of the Nicaragua canal will become a law before | the next meeting of the Legislature, This statement if made six months ago would not bave been so certain. At that time | | the precise location and many detaiis of | | the work were not known. After the re- | survey of the Ludlow committee things | | are now practically clear. “F ungcrsmnfl from President Cleve- land,” continued the speaker, *‘that he is | 1 of the opinion that all the people of the | United States favor this bill. He told me | so with his own mouth. I havenoanxiety | whatever that he will veto it, and I know | that three-fourths, if not nine-tenths, of the House are in favor of its passage, ana two-thirds of the Senate. “In my opinion, the construction of the | canal will transplant the center of com- merce of the worid and San Francisco will be in a short time the second New York.”” Congressman Loud then took the floor and said: “‘I bad not anticipated that this meeting was for the purpose of talking over the canal proposition. I supposed it to be a gloritication meeting of the alleged services which we representatives have done in the Legislature for Cali.ornia. It is not difficult to get a representation for this State of ours. “We may boast of one thing, and not falsify, that we have by nature the best harbor in the world. There is now very little wanted for our harbor. There are a | | few rocks that should be removed. I do not think you can ever remove Mile Rock, but that a beacon or a bell put upon it will serve the best purpose. “The Senators at Washington are will- ing to do anything in the world to benefit | our harbor. It is true we feared at one time that because Senator Perkins asked | for so many things for our State we would kick the whole thing over and so procure nothing, but such was not the case. “There is no question of such import- tance to the people of San Francisco as is this proposition of the Nicarazua canal. Every eifort should be put forth to get the next Congress to pass this bill. The more you urge the more liable you are to suc- ceed.” Congressman Hilborn said: ““I do not | come here as a visitor, but as 4 friend and a brother. I have been a member of this chamber for a long time and all my sym- pathy and all my love is centered here. “My greatest pride is that I was instru- mental in getting for this coast a naval re- serve. The factof it is that the present depressed condition of the country has ! precluded any great improvement for any State, but I can say that in this California has done even better than any of the rest. An important thing for our State is the establishment of a naval training station for boys at Goat Island, “In regard to the Nicaragua canal I only wish I had the confidence of the other gentlemen who have spoken regard- ing the passage of this measure. You must remember it means the expenditure of millions and milhons of dollars. 1tis a transportation proposition and 1t will perhaps come into conflict with certain interests.” Congressman Maguire said: “T consider compliment to the Pacific builders of men- of-war, saying they ranked highest of any in the country. “There isnoland on God’s footstool,” concluded he, ‘‘that has the resources and big-hearted men of California.” he following resolution was unani- mously passed: Resolved, That the thanks of the Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco are hereby respect- fully tendercd to the honorable members of ine California delegation for their successful efforts on behalf of the State of California dur- ing the first session of the Fifty-fourth Con- gress, and for their assurance of aid hereafter, especially in the passage of the Nicaragua canal bill. Resolutions of thanks were also ten- dered Senator Morgan of Alabama in be- half of the geople of the Pacific Coast for e the efforts he has made in their behalf. A FORESTER PICNIC.

FATHER CLARK'S LECTURE Traces the Development of the Arts and Sciences to the Church. Says It Is a Time When the Bulwarks of the Church Need Much Guarding. OAKLAND, CAL., June 25.—Rey. Arthur M. Clark, the Paulist father of San Fran- cisco, lectured before a large audience in the Macdonough Theater this evening. troduced the lectures, of the local priesthood were on the plat- form. Father Clark took for his subject the claim that the world of to-day owes much to the Catholic church. He traced the present high state of development of the arts and sciences to the careful manner in which they had been fostered and pro- tected by the Catholic church. Particular attention was given to the teachings of the church in regard to morality and to the preservation of the sanctity of the home. “If the world had been left to the minis- speaker, “we should not have a country of It 18 not our teaching that has produced the fearful state of affairs that now con- fronts us. Inevery age our doctrine has been the same and we have endeavored to inculcate in the young mind those grand principles that alone can carry the soul through this world of temptations and preserve it unsullied till it- is awarded its eternal prize. “In every branch of art and science it is the church that has developed it and the names of the noblest men in the pages of history are those who have labored and died within its pale. Surely no one will say a disnaraging word of the noble Sher- man because he was a Roman Catholic. “Never was there a time when the bul- walks of the church need as much guard- ing as they do to-day; but we have noth- ing to fear. We have a plain duty to per- form in training the young mind, and so long as we do this nothing will prevail against us.”’ ————— Mourned by His Comrades. On Wednesdsy night James Walsh, one of the best firemen in the Fire Department, died at his home at 136 Eighth street. He was a member of engine company 17, on Mint avenue. Walsh had been confined to his home for two months past in consequence of a severe cold contracted from getting wet at a fire on Eighth and Natoma streets two months ago. The cold turned into a ease of quick con- sumption. The funeral will be held to-day from St. Joseph’'s Church. Two men have been detailed from each fire company to at- tend the funeral, The house of engine 17 has been draped in mourning. Walsh was 32 years of nge. e Abbott's Napoleon. Rev. John S. C. Abbott’s “Life of Na- voleon” is brought to the mind by the death of his widow, a most estimable lady, who was an essential aid to him in his literary work. She is said to have trans- lated much from the French for him in his writings of Napoleon. A reliable anec- dote of Mr. Abbott is related as showing the spirit in_which he entered upon this biography. While it was in the course of publication in Harper's Magazine a mem- ber of the Harper fi‘;em was approached in remonstrance against the favorable view taken by Mr. Abbott of this man of blood. Mr, Harper said he would see Mr. Abbott upon the subject. He told his inquirer a day or two later that he had done so and that Mr. Abbott had assured him tbat every morning when he entered his stuay toengage in this work his first act was to put up a prayer to God to be guided aright in what he sbould send out to the world. Mr. Harper had a firm belief that the truth would be reached under these condi- tions.—Boston Herald. John P.

Will Not Exceed $1 67 and It May Go Lower. THE CITY VALUATION. An Increase of Twelve Millions ! of Dollars or More . Assured. | FIGURES ON THE STATE ROLL City Collections on Personal Property Now Exceed a Half Million. s Assessor Siebe is diligently at work on the assessment roll and will file it within the time prescribed by law. He said yes- terday that he would not ask for an ex- tension. The Assessor wasnot willing to make an approximate estimate of the total valua- tion, but readily admitted that it would be in excess of last year's valuations. It is figured by men who claim to be familiar | | with values that the total amount will ap- | proximate $340,000,000, or an increase of $12,000,000 over the last roll. The collection of personal property taxes, unsecured by real estate, is progressing in lively styie. The amount taken up to noon yesterday was $545,967 72, a sum $100,000 in excess of last year's collections, Asno tax-levy has been fixed for this year the collection is made on last year’s rate of | $225. Thisaccountsin a measure for the | large increase. Ultimately the City must refund to the tax-payers the difference be- tween $2 25 and the forthcoming rate. The | law so provides. Thirty thousand tax- igayers will each be entitled to a rebate, ut in many instances the amount will be so small that application may not be | made. In making this readjustment a vast deal | of work will be imposed upon the Super- visors, Auditor and Treasurer. Every ap- plication must be made to the Board of Supervisors, and when allowed the money cannot be drawn from the treasury with- | out an order from the Auditor. | No one ean yet tell exactly what the next tax levy will be, becauss the valua- | tion of all taxable property is still an un- | known_ quantity, and the amounts to be allowed by the SBupervisors for the various | departments of the municipal govern- | | ment have not been determined. Auditor Broderick made a calculation | that the value of taxable property would l be $330,000,000. The estimate is likely to be under the actual return, but the figures | may be changed before the Supervisors, sitting as a Board of Equalization, get through with the roll. The Auditor did not allow many extras on his estimates, but figured nearly every- thing down to a business basis. Still he | thinks the board should diminish rather than increase his allowances. In taking | the total of his estimates and calculating | that the assessment roll will reach $330,- | 000,000, he figures that the local rate should not exceed §1 17, and might go as low as §1 07. Governor Budd in a general way has more than once indicated that the State levy would not exceed 48 cents. Since he | made this calculation reports have reached members of the State Board of Equslization that there would be quite a shrinkage in the valuation. Allowing that the State rate will be 50 | cents and the local rate $117, the levy | would be $1 67, or 58 cents lower than the last levy. " It is possible that the rate may 20 as low as §1 60, in view of the increas- | ing public sentiment toward retrench- | mer.t in State and municipal affairs. There should be in the State treasury a surplus of §1,000,000, because the Governor | insisted that the revenue bill Fnssed by the Legislature should cover all the ap- propriations made by the session. Many of the appropriations were unconstitu- tional and extravagant, and so they were vetoed. The result was the taking of | $1,000,000 more than was necessary out of | circulation and putting it in the State | treasury. The next Legislature is likely to appropriate it with great gladness, The next local levy will not embrace anything for the new City Hall construc- tion, but a iarge sum must be raised for election expenses, so one will about offset the other. THE BUILDING TRADES. Rival Bricklayers’ Unions Ask for Rec- ognition by the Council. The Building Trades Council met last evening at 1159 Mission street and the sec- retary was instructed to secure headquar- ters for the council in some other build- ing. Representatives from the rival bricklay- ers’ unions, the local and the international, addressed the council upon the matter of affiliating therewith. It was left to the grievance committee to decide within thirty days which of the two unions should be recognized by the council. Attention was callea to the fact that next Thursday is the day set for the rule that the prevention of the passage of the funding b1l is the most important measure to this State of the Fifty-fourth Congress. [ want to say that the Califor- nia delegation stood shoulder to shoulder in the accomplishment of this. I, as a Democrat, would have had a hard time in Congress standing alone had not the Re- publican Representatives exerted their eiforts to win over the Republican side. “In regard to this measure I think Cali- fornia is safe so far as the Fifty-fourth Congress is concerned, and the same senti- ments that influencea the Fifty-fourth Congress will more strongly influence the Fifty-fifth Congress.”” The speaker spoke of Loud as the Nestor of the California delegation, and said that the burden of getting improvements for California had rested upon him. Speak- ing of the delay in the building of the Postoffice for this City, he said that one cause was undoubtedly the insufficiency of the force in the supervising architect’s office at Washington. I think,” said he, “that by the latter part of this year the work will be begun and speedily carried to completion.” Senator Perkins, who had been called upon first to speak, but had excused himself on the plea of not being stranger, but one of the home body, sai “For more than twenty years I have been a member of this Chamber of Com- merce.” He spoke in complimentary language regarding the distinguished Japanese gentleman present, saying that he had come ona mission which would result in vast benefit to both the United States and Japan. “‘Senators or Representajives,” said he, ‘‘know no partisanship after they pass the Sierra Nevada Mountains going eastward,” He enumerated the many things that had been secured for California during the last session of Congress, and paid a high Professor Frederick H. Killick, the Man Who Resuscitates the Drowned.] | sion. to go into effect which prohibits all union workmen from finishing work where union men have been called out on account of the presence of non-union men. In many cases union men have been ordered qut on strike_because non-union men were em- ployed and when the lattes finished their work the union men were allowed to re- turn, but hereafter they are prohibited from doing so. On Tuesday night a union mass-meeting of all connected with the building trades will be held at 115 Turk street to elect two new business agents. 1t was decided that the grievance committee of the council should be increased to six members, to be selected monthly. The boycott on the new California League baseball grounds on_Sixteenth and Folsom streets has been raised by the council. i P R T To Be Made a Family Hotel. The trustees of the Mercantile Library Asso- ciation have had under consideration for some time the project of rearranging the upper two floors of the library building and converting them into-a family hotel. At the last meeting of the trustees this idea was favorab] upon. The architect of the associat prepared plans and specifications which call or sixty-six rooms, parlors, dining-room, ete. The location of the'building, on Van Ness and Golden Gate avenues, is one of the most cheer- ful and sunnyin the City. The s.ze of the | building is 137:6x120, with a frontage on three streets, all paved with bituminous rock. These features, togather with a reasonable rent and long-term lease, are strong induce- ments to & hotel proprietor. The estimated cost of making the contemplated improve- ments will be from $5000 to $6000. ———————— Sued the Railroad. Frederick W.

HE SAVES HUMAN LIFE How to Restore Those Who Lose Consciousness Through Immersion. Professor Killick Thinks That Every Child Should be Taught to Swim and to Help Others. “Next to swimming, and it is my strong opinion that every child should be taught to swim,” said Professor Frederick H. Killick of the Sutro Baths yesterday, “every child should be tanght the princi- ples of life-saving, that is, the methods necessary to restore to animation those ho have become insensible from immer- 1t has been my privilege in the past ew years to lecture on this subject to more than 25,000 school children in Canada and 1n the United States. I have spent a number of years in the study of the vari- ous methods used by men prominentin Europe and the United States, those of Dr. Sylvester, Dr. Hall and of Dr. Howard, which is that most practiced in the United States. I have taken the best points from each and combined them with a view of obtaining the very best results in a case of emergency. “*How do I proceed in the case ofan in- dividual who, to use a common expres- sion, goes beneath the surface for a third time? I will tell you what I do in case such an emergency occursat a point where there are none of the appliances that are in use 1n life resascitation stations. “Whoever brings the body from the water shou!d before landing it allow it to float face downward, for a moment only. The body of a person in tnat condition should never be floated on the pack. -Say, for instance that such a body was brought from the waters on to the beach close by here, I should, as soon as possible wade in, crouch under the approaching body and in raising form an arch of my back, and in that way elevate the body out of the water. I would then move quickly to land. The knack in securing the body is to have the lower limbs swing over the left shoulder and drop forward and in that way give me a sure hold on tke individual, then the individual’s stomach rests on my back at an angle of about forty degrees, and while in that condition the water which is in the lungs and cavity of the chest escapes through the mouth, every motion I make causing a- pressure against the cavity which helps to force out any water that may have been in it and which had not of its own weight escaped. If there was a house close by I would carry the body there and kecp every one away excevt two persons who could assist. If not the body should be laid on the sand and the mouth and nostrils at once wiped free from a mucus that is formed in every case. Then the tongue should be secured by either tying a rubber band around it, or if none is Landy a piece of string will do. ThenteNe tinpae sHOGH e pulled forward and held so that it cannot fall back and close the windpipe, and while this is being done I would stand over the body, place my hands under it on a line with the shoulders and having locked them would rock the body deliberately from side to side, one of the arms of the individual being placed in such a position that the head will roll on it and preventit from being chafed by the sand. “Then the body should be rested on a roll which can b¢ made of acoator any- thing that will make an elevation of four inches. This should be placed a little be- low the shoulders, so that the chest will form au arch. This having been done, and mind you al) this is done in & remarkably short space of time, I would commence roducing artificial respiration. This 18 done first by placing the thumbs of each hand, end to end, over the breast boneand extending the fingers in such a way as to cover as much as possible of the stomach, then pressing down and raising the hands without removing them from the body, keeping up that motion.
