Aboard of the warship all the visitors were shown every courtesy and es- corted around the decks while the brass band discoursed patriotic melodies. The Pacific Mail steamship City of Peking arrived from the Orieni early yes- terday morning with twenty-eight passen- gers in the cabin and 105 Chinese and eight Japanese in the steerage.

Henry Dixon, a young man who is a physical wreck from the use of morphine, atiempted to commit suicide in a cell in the City Prison yesterday afternoon. He and five others were arrested last Wednesday for vagrancy, and Dixon was sentenced on Friday to six months in the County Jail. He was constantly begging the prison officials to give him morphine, but his pleadings were useless. Yesterday he broke the handle off an iron bucket 1n his cell, and when no one was watching him, he cut his arm with | the rough end of the handle, and then used it as a saw with the object of cutting all the arteries. The other prisoners gave the alarm, and Dixon was taken to the Receiving Hospi- tal, wherere Dr. Fitzgibbon dressed his wounded arm, and he was taken back to prison. Captain Robinson thought that Dixon never contemplated suicide, but cut his arm simply to try and create sympathy so that he could get a “shot” of the drug. B — The Tabernacle of Moses. Rev. J. W. Kelchner delivered his very in- teresting lecture on ‘“The Tabernacle That ‘Was Built by Moses” before a large congrega- tion in Simpson Memorisl Church last night. The lecture was free.

On the 13th of June the fifteen sarvivors of the British sealing schooner Catherine, which foundered at sea off the Japan coast, arrived at Hakodate. While on her way from Hakodate to Yokohama recently the cruiser was given a speed trial under natural and ran for four hours logging an average of 20.4 knots an hour. The British cruiser Cen- turian recently had a trial run of four hours, developing a speed of a little over 18 knots an hour. Both vessels are the flag- ships of the United States and English squadrons respectively. The German ship Christine arrived in this port yesterday, sixty-four days from dney, N. 8. W,, being twenty days slower than on her former trip. Nothing of any importance occurred on her voyage until last Friday afternoon, when she reached a pointabout forty miles nonherlg from Point Reyes, There she was sighted by the steamer Mineola headed toward the shore under a full spread of canvas. A heavy fog was on the sea and Captain Warneke of the Christine was evidently away off his bearings. The Mineola sounded a warning blast with her whistle and signaled in the international code, “‘Breakers ahead of you,” and in- structed the ship to steer wide of the land. The Christine answered and changed ber course. The two vessels ran on the same course, the steamer gradually draw- ing away from the sailer. uddenly the ship was observed to haul her wind and head again for the shore. Captain Pillsbury again warned the 11;2) of daneer and the signal was answered. Presently the fog hid both vessels, but the steamer turned and sought out the Chris- tine, and found her when the fog lifted about a mile from the breakers. The Min- eola steamed in close to the ship and gave her the true course. Her captain must have followed these instructions faithfully, as his vessel arrived safely in port. A Boy Injured. Last Thursday Samuel, the 12-year-old son of Captain Thomson of the Park Police, was driving in & buggy near the corner of Page and Baker streets when he wasfrun into by a ELDER TANNER SPEAKS Exhorts Members of the Mormon Mis- sion to ¢ Seek First the King- dom of God.”” Elder Henry S. Tanner, president of the California Mormon Mission, addressed a large audience in Pythian Castle last night upon the text ‘‘Seek First the Kingdom of God."” In the course of his address Elder Tanner said: ‘““The church represents Christ’s spiritual kingdom and governs the s cerns, and only those who accept the gos- pel can become members of the church; but when the kingdom of God is wholly in effect it will govern the civil or temporal as well as the spiritual, and nations may be members of the kingdom thougb not members of the church, for all men will be permitted to worship God according to the dictates of their conscience. “The spiritual kingdom, dealing with spiritual man, has an external or visible organization, consisting of apostles, proph- ets, pastors and teachers, Gifts and bless- ings follow the believers and those who conform to the laws of repentance and re- demption through Jesus, and will work a reformation in the hearts of the people and make them better in every way.” DRIVER DUSTIN ILL. Had Hemorrhages at Ingleside and ‘Was Taken Home in a Carriage. James Dustin, one of the best-known drivers of trotting horses in California, is very ill. He had two hemorrhages at the Ingleside track last Saturday, the latter very severe, and was taken home in a car- rhge. His condition yesterday was said to_be a little improved, Dustin is highly spoken of by horsemen. He drove the best horses that ever pulled a gig. Last year he was behind th Directum. e The average life of a tortoise is from 100 to 150 years. Bome have been known to live 260 years. GOVERNOR BUDD AND THE STARS, Aspirations for the High Rank of Major- General, THE NATIONAL GUARD. Warfield, Clunie, Turnbulls Sumner, Macdonald and James. THE RECORDS DISPLAYED. Adjutant-General Barrett Said to Prefer Warfield’s Pro- motion. The duty now devolves upon Governor Budd, commander-in-chief of the military force of California, to appoint a major- general fo fill the vacancy caused by the rcmtu 15 Colonel Frank ‘W. Sumner, who served with distinction as paymaster-gen- eral on the staff of Governor Markham. Als a tactician in a military sense he is by far the superior of all other applicants, but he is classed as a Republican in poli- tics. What he lacks in respect to party devotion may be offset by personal influ- ence. Colonel Nat T. James is mentioned as an aspirant, but his recent promotion from manager of an insurance company to the rank of colonel is thought by many to be the full measure of his ambition. He is, nevertheless, regarded by all com- petitors for the place as a dangerous wire, because he enjoys the special confidence of the commander-in-chief. Colonel James was educated at Annapolis for service in the United States navy, but tbis would not disqualify him from lead- ing the division. MERRY STEVEDORES. Forty-Third Reunion of Their Asso- ciation_Celebrated at Schuetzen Park. The Riggers’ and Stevedores’ Union Association made merry at Schuetzen Park yesterday. About 700 members and friends of the organization visited the park, and with picnic, sports and dancing the forty-third reunion of the association was made a decided success. The games, which were under the man- agement of Morris Keane, Michael Hag- gerty, Dennis Lahey, .William Drayton and Michael McMahon, as judges, were particularly interesting, and the prizes, which ranged from a ton of coal to a barrel of beer, were all well earned by the winners. The latter part of the day was devoted to dancing. N. McCracken officiated as Thomas J. Clunie, Who Is a Candidate for Major-General to Succecd Gemeral Dimond, Deceased. death of General W. H. Dimond, division commander of the National Guard. The Governor is not troubled in the slightest by the lack of application. Itis said that Brigadier-General R. S. War- field, Second Brigade, would like to wear the stars of the high rank, and that Adju- tant-General Barrett would take pleasure 1n making out General Warfield’s commis- sion. The matter could be arranged so easily that the Governor would have noth- ing to do but sign the commission. But there are others; and rumor goes around the camp that Thomas J. Clunie, ex-brigadier-general, who bravely led the Sacramento brigade to many inaugural balls, would shake hands with the Gov- ernor over a major-general’'s commis- sion. The eloquent Tom and the impul- sive Jim have not been on terms of cor- diality since “*Andy’’ was turned down to give Wiuliam M. Hinton the desirable berth of Registrar of Voters in San Fran- cisco. Indeed the general left the Gov- ernor’s office one day with his mind made up never to cross the threshold of the ex- ecutive room in the State Capitol while Governor Budd was 1nside. In these days fraught with great issues and holding forth prospects of great honors, wise statesmen change their minds and able soldiers change front. So now it is considered sure that General Clunie would accept a favor from Gov- ernor Budd; also that Andy’s grief in see- ing Hinton commanding at the registra- tion office would be sensibly lightened by seeing Thomas J. in command of the Na- tional Guard. To the front comes Major D. E. Miles, making a gallant contest in bebalf of Colonel William Macdonaid, First Infan- try, N. G. C. The colonel is now in Hawaii. Indeed, he is the most unfortunate or Na- tional Guard officers, Nothing happens when he stays at home, but everything oc- curs when he leaves town. When the troops were ordered to Sacramento two years ago the colonel was East. He hastened home with all the speed possi- ble, but the strikers impeded travel, and so while the colonel was across the moun- tains cursing fate that deprived him of the chance for promotion, his subordinate, Lieutenant-Colonel Geary, was at the head of the Second Artillery gathering up glory by the yard—the West Oakland yards. Now the colonel was at Honolulu when the vacancy in the major-generalship oc- curred. He is absent while Warfield is on the field personally directing movements. But Colonel Macdonald’s tried and true friend, his trusted champion and able subordinate, Major D. E. Mijles, is not idle. He is doing the work of two majors in the cause of the absent colonel. Ex-Major-General Walter Turnbull, who commanded the troops in the celebrated engagement at Tripe Hill, Santa Cruz, during Governor Stonemen’s administra- tion, is on the list of applicants for the honor of leading the division. General Turnbull has the advantage of being a Democrat as well as a soldier, while several of his competitors in the contest are Republicans, General Turn- bull got his former commission as major- general without much ado or delay, but he did have a monkey and a parrot time with the late Adjutant-General Orton jn getting on the retired list with the rank of major-general. If Governor Waterman and Marcus D. Boruck had not sustained General Turnbull with great gallantry and fortitude the latter would have gone on the retired list with honors skorn and rumpled. No question was ever raised apout General Turnbull’s pulchritude, patriotism or proficiency, but General Orton had some ideas about the length of service unad‘h for retirement and re- fused to accord the rank, Last but not least in the list of appli- floor manager and P. Northing as assist- ant. The floor committee was James Humphrey, Lawrence Smith and Thomas ‘White. To Alexander Campbell, presi- dent of the association, much credit is due for the success of the picnic. i THE MBHE@EJAGUN' BUSY Coroner’s Deputies Kept on the Run Yesterday Fore- noon. Gas Used by Thres Men Who Made Up Their Minds to “Quit.” The Morgue wagon was kept busy yes- terday forenoon, no less than six cases having been reported before the noon hour. Of these three were suicides by the gas avenue of exit. William Hanson, agea 49, a native of Germany and a widower, who resided at 920 Buchanan street, was found by Mrs. Juncker, who smelled escaping gas in the room occupied by Hanson. She notified the police and the patrol wagon was sent out to take him to the Receiving Hos- pital, but before he reached there he died, and the body was taken to the Morgue in- stead. It is surmised tbat he became dis- heartened over the conditions of the will left by his wife, who died a short time since. She left bim $1, giving the re- mainder of her property to her children by a former husband. The deceased left two children, a son and a daughter, He was a member of the Knights of Honor. William McCormack, a solicitor for any- thing that came in his line, saw fit to take his leave by the same agency as Hanson. He resided at 2028 Fulton street, and was aged 45 years. A collection of well-writ- ten poetry was found among his effects, one piece setting forth that no bells woula toll or friends weep over his death. Simon Askins, aged 54, a native of Rus- sia and a discharged soldier of the United States army, with a first-class character, followed the others by the same means at 957 Market street. The case of Askins left no doubt of his suicide, as he left a letter for his wife giv- ing full instructions to apply to the mili- tary authorities at the Phelan building to have him interred in the National Ceme- tery at the Presidio, and also to apply to the United States Government pension agent for a pension as his widow, saying that the amount given her would support her and their two boys until such time as they could. help themselves. Askins' discharge showed that he had served in the Federal army for two years as a volunteer during the late war, After- ward, in 1866, enlisted in the regular army and served twenty-four years, mak- ing twenty-six years’ service altogether; his last discharge being dated July, 1895. Another letter was directed to the Cor- oner informing him that there would be no necessity to hold a post mortem over his body as he committed suicide. Knrr{ W. Parker, aged 30 years, died suddenly from natural causes at 609 Bush street. Louise Vasselin, aged 77, a native of France, was found dead in'her bed at 393 Sixth street from the effects of old age. Margaret Barbara, an infant aged 7 months, died suddenly at 458} Minna street. Such was the record of the Coroner’s books for Sunday forenoon. —_—— An Emporium Window Broken. One of the large plate-glass windows in the Emporium building on: Market street was cracked by one of the Fourth of July missiles which were so liberally fired off during the celebration. One of the watchmen claims that he found a dynamite cap in close proximity to the broken window an at caused the mischief. id thinks thi FEAR FREE SPEECH (3 IN JEOPARDY, Socialists Will Fight Bit- terly For Their Rights. WM. COSTLEY'S ARREST Eminent Legal Talent Will Plead in Court for Him To-Day. NOT A QUESTION OF DCCTRINE Captain Spillane Says the Speaker Was Arrested for Obstruct. | ing the Street. | The case of William Costley, the social- | ist orator who was arrested last Thursday night on Seventh street for obstructing the street, will come up in court for trial to-day. The socialists believe that discrimina- tion is being shown against them simply on account of the nature of their utter- auces, and they intend to fight the case to the bitter end. With this motive in view they have behind them the full support 6f all organized labor in the City. Eminent legal talent has already been consulted, and the socialists feel almost certain that Costley will be acquitted as were other socialist speakers similarly charged about a vear :‘fo. Theodore Lynch, one of the prominent speakers among - the socialists and secre- | tary of the Central Trade and Labor Alli- ance, said last evening: ‘‘The next night after Costley was arrested we continued the meetings on the steps of the Mint building. A large crowd congregated to listen to us, but the police did not inter- fere. *Nothing of this kind is new to the so- cialists,” continued Mr. Lynch. *It is the same in Russia. A speaker is arrested and is never again heard of there, unless some one happens to be passing through Siberia. “As soon as the news of Costley’s arrest was known we said we would rally again, and considered it our duty to do so. Despite this kind of persecution and ar- rest, socialism has progressed wonder- | fully. Men know that socialism is a bless- ing in disguise. “The party is by no means deterred | from continuing its open-air meetings, which are a feature of its propaganda. The various branches have developed a corps of intelligent speakers, who will be heard from on the stump in the coming cam- paign. | “The socialists regard this interruption in a philosophic light and believe it will redound to the interest of the rights of | every citizen. This interference menaces | the rights of every editor in the public expression of bis opinions. It is indi- rectly aimed at the right of free press and free speech. While the leaders of the socialist party do not look for any daz- zling success politically in the near future, still they are active in the preservation of their rights as free citizens, and judging from the past history of their movements elsewhere they have a bright future. “The party has consulted with eminent lawyers to assist it in this present case. Should the court decide adversely we will fight the matter vigorously. “The right of free speech, which has been interfered with in this instance, is in defiance to the constitution of the United States and the socialists look upon the matter seriously. These occasional inter- ruptions of peaceably and quietly con- ducted meetings are hard to account for in any other light than as a blow aimed at the free expression of a man’s thoughts. “Socialists have ever reearded any at- tuck or interferences on their speeches as a light to additional propaganda; and such arrests have almost invariably led to the conversion of both Judge and jury. 1 consulted Taylor Rogers on this arrest and he expressed himself as beins. anquali- fiedly afi%mst such interference.” J. W. Rose, ex-secretary of the Building Trades Councll, said: *‘It is the sentiment of all the unions that this interference was uncalled for and illegal, and something that they will fight to the bitter end. We will sustain the socialists in this propo- sition morally and financially. The so- cialists can always count on organized labor when any such question as this is at issue.” Captain Spillane said: *“William Costley, or Casterly, was arrested last Thursday night on Seventh streetat 9 o'clock sim- ply for drawing a crowd that obstructed the street. We do not care what the man says, but no matter who he may be, if he obstructs the streets he must be arrested. Of course, if a speaker says things that may incite a riot we would have to arrest him., We do not arrest the speakers on the Mint steps for the reasen that they are out of the way. Still, if they were guilty oi obstructing the streets we should cer- tainly arrest them. Sentiments have nothing whatever to do with it. It issim- ply a matter of street obstruction.” L. M. Mangzer, corresponding secreta: of the Free Press Association, expres: nimself wholly against police interference in special cases if the case does not trans- gress a City ordinance.
