THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JULY 6, 1896. HONORED THEIR PATRON SAINT, Impressive Services Con- ducted at St. Peter’s Church. AUTHORITY NECESSARY. Rev. Peter C. Yorke Explains the Necessity of Central- ization. ONE GOD AND ONE CHURCH. People of St. Peter’s Admonished to Pray for the Union of Christendom. The feast of St. Peter was celebrated with unusual solemnity and splendor at the edifice bearing his name. ¢St. Peter’s never witnessed such a scene | before,” declared Father Lyons at the conciusion of the services, and the con- course of people of the parish who had as- sembled to do reverence to their patron saint was truly something of which the parish priests might be proud. The feast of St. Peter is ordinarily ob- served June 29, but on this occasion it was postponed until the Sunday succeeding. A solemn high mass was celebrated by Father Casey, assisted by rKather Lyons deacon, Father O'Ryan subdeacon and Father Lynch of St. James Church master of ceremonies. The music, which was rendered by a choir specially trained for the occasion, was under the direction of Miss Mamie Coonan, organist. It was of an unusually high order. The sermon was delivered by Rev. Peter C. Yorke, and the earnest attention which the congregation gave to his remarks testified to the esteem in which he is held by the people of his faith. The theme of his discourse was the necessity of autiiority in order to have unity in the church. In temporal affairs, he said, unity is effected by authority of the government. The central Government at Washington preserves unity in civil affairs, ana so is authority necessary in the affairs of the church. " The necessity of unity, he de- clared, was evident, else there would be a constant state of confusion. The speaker then compared this country in regard to civil affairs with the church in matters spiritual. He showed that just as the States, jealous of one another in many ways, are held together by authority of Congress, the church is kept together througn its trials by a centralized au- thority. “Until 350 years ago,” he said, “there was unity in the church, and that was as our Lord wished it to be. We hear those outside the church constantiy, saying, ‘Search the Scriptures.’ Scriptures.” The speaker here referred to a number of passages in the Bible from whick he adduced authority for an individual head Bt to the epurch. “There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God,” he said, *‘so there must be only one true church. “The Lord appointed St. Peter supreme head of his church. He szid to him ‘Ttou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and Iwill give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. Feed my lambs. Feed mysheep.’ And though Peter had once been lacking in faith he gave him authority over the others. He said to him, ‘When thou art converted confirm thy brethren.” These words show that the rd gave Peter authority over his chureh.” Father Yorke deplored the disruption of Christendom, and declared that the dis- union arose chiefly from want of author- ity. There was nc guide to direct. *“On this day, the feast of St. Peter,” he con- cluded, ‘“‘the people of St. Peter's honor the patron of this church. Pray that the day may soon come when the disunion will cease to be, and all people will be Eit:én one church and worshiping one od.” Laii iy REUNION AT FRUITVALE. Parishioners of St. Francis Church Enjoy a Patriotic Outing. A merry reunion of the St. Francis Church parishioners took place at Plitts- ville Park, Fruitvale,on July 4. The ex- ercises were interspersed with skillfal games of erdurance and strength. The Cosmopolitan Military band discoursed music, and the platform at times was crowded with young dancers. The running races were the cynosure for thousands and were well contested, pro- fessionals being barred. In the race for young ladies much ri- valry was engendered, but an untoward accident marred the contest, The daugh- ter of J. Wrede, 733 Union street, fell and fractured ber right arm. The fathers im- mediately dispatched for a surgeon. Throwing the heavy weight, 561bs, was hotly contested, and the prize was won by the pastor, Father Carraher, who stands over six feet and weighs 220 pounds of avoirdupois. He immediately said that “‘Heaven loved a cheerful giver,” and forthwith distributed the $10 to the girls to purchase firecrackers for the occasion. The reception committee, under the skillful management of T. B. Cunning- ham, distributed seventy-eight gate prizes. At the northwest corner of the park an iu:srom tu patriotic demonstration was bad, and progressed uninterruptedly dur- ing the day, under the direction of the younger element of the parish. The cen- tral fizure of the extemporaneous display of enthusiasm was Paul A. McCarthy, who with histrionic effect read the Declaration of Independence, and recited Drake's “Address to the American Flag.” Firecrackers and cheers for the American flag concluded the entertainment. NO FUSION POSSIBLE. The State Central Committee of the Populist Party Expresses Itself on Democracy. At a meeting of the executive committee of the Populist State Central Committee held in this City last Saturday, the follow- ing resolution on the Democratic nominee was adopted : WHEREAS, The metropolitan press of the two old pariies is continually misstating the posi- tion of the People’s party, and thereby is mis- leading the uninforn.ed régarding the People’s part osition on great National questions, and especinily as to its attitude toward indorsing 1he Democratic nominee for President of the United States, should such nominee be a silver candidat, Thereiore, the State Exccutive Commitiee of the People’s party of California. in session on July 4.1896, in the most emphatic manner, declares t at at 1o time and at no place has it considered that such & union or fusion or com- bination or indorsement would be either possi- ble or desirable. Furthermore, We declare that, as a commit- tee, we will not support the Democratic nomi- nee for President under any circumstances. That the reason jor such action arises from the fact that the Dzmocuflc‘plru is & party of conservatism and is antagonistic to the prinei- ples of Populism. Thatitisa party which has been discredited Let us search the | by the people, and an indorsement of its nomi- nze by us would be taken as an indorsement of its record. This we will never give. Furthermore, we do not believe that on the silver question the Democratic gany is actu- ated by motives of principle, but by motives of policy, and that a5 & party it can never secure the free coinage of silver or of any needed onetary reform. “'-m:mxlu the people as a whole would be injured by a surrender of our principles and the aisbandment of the People’s party, which would ensue if we were to indorse & Demo- cratic nominee. Furthermore, we consider that the s{elt re- forms in government which the People’s party demand cannot be obtained, or even advanced, by a fusion, or combination, or indorsement, with either of the old parties. EAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 4, 1896, The following is the circular to People's Party voters of California: Registration of voters under the old law was kept open until within & few days of the elec- tion. By an amendment of the election laws enacted in 1895 the registration of voters in our county will close on August 8 or 10. g‘his change in the law is uot fully understood, and it is your duty to take steps at_once to see that every People’s-Party man is notified of this fact. ~ You must make it your business to urge and see that all Pepulists register immeai- ately. Failure to do so means that thousands of our voters throughout the State will be dis- franchised. By order of tne executive committee, People’s Party. E. M. WARDALL, Chairman. R. E. Buss. Secretary, San Francisco, July 4, 1896. L —.————— ATTAR OF ROSES, It May After All Be Adjudged Exempt From Duty. The following communication has been received : SAN FEANCISCO, Cal., July 5, 1896. Editor Call: Inoticean article in your issue of the 1st inst. under the hesd of *“Attar of Roses,” stating that an invoice of mine had been held at the Custom-house, indicating that my goods had been seized for duty. It is true that I had an invoice of the article named and that a question. of the duty thereon has been raised, seized. Under the Wilson snd previous acts attar of roses is fres of duty by name, without auy words of limitation whatever. The Col- lector of Customs 1s disposed to collect duty upon it as an “essential oil,” and that ques- tion has gone to the Board of General Apprais- ers; but I spprehend that the Collector’s action will not be sustained, because the rule of construction is well settled, that & special section relieving attar of roses from duty will centrol a generel section assessing duty upon essential oils, of which attar ot roses is one of many. 1 have imported this commodit fore and it has passed the customs officials without imposition of duty.

The existing financial policy of Japan is likely to exert a greater or less influence upon the future actions of other nations, especially those that have invested in her newly issued bonds. 8. Hayakawa, pri- vate secretary to the Minister of Finance of Japan, said yesterday: ““There is now on deposit 1n the Bank of England the sum of £22,717.889 to the credit of the island empire, and America and Engiand are watching anxiously to see what she will do with_it. Under the i system lately adopted by Viscount Wata- nabe, the Minister of Finance, there will bea great increase in the governmental expendicure. ““The national debt of Japan (§196,- 31,000) was the result principally of the change from the feudal to the State sys- tem of government and of the reorganiza- tion of its finances necessitated by the late war with China. The ancient foreign | debt will be hiquidated within a year and recently Europeans and Americans have been investing liberally in Japanese bonds. These bonds comprise the feudal pension, the naval, the consolidation, the war and the state railway bonds. ““The war bond was issued last year and bears interest at the rate of 5 per cent per annum. The railway bond, issued in 1892, has been gradually increased until it now amounts to 6,000,000 yen. *It is expecied by her Ministers that the public loan of Japan will be somewhat in- creased in the future to permit of the speedy construction of railroads, etc., but the policy of the Government is cautious and opposed to incurring any debt until a weay has been devised for its payment. “The Bank of Japan issues the onl; ‘paper money, which is convertible with sii- ver, on demand. The national bank notes are being gradually replaced by the paper money. The Bank of Japan, in Tokio, under the strict supervision of the Gov- ernment, is now authorized to issue only paper mopey, convertible with silver.” HE LIVED LONG IN SIAM, Rev. Dr. McFarland, Founder of the First English School in Bankok. Author of Siamese School and Scien- tific Books—He Came Here to Live. Reyv. Dr. 8. G. McFarland, for thirty-six years a resident of Bankok, Siam, has come from the Orient to spend his de- clining years in Berkeley or in Oakland. He arrived yesterday on the City of Peking with his wifeand dauchter and his son, Dr. George McFarland, physician in charge of & large hospital in Bankok, the capital of Siam. “I went to S8iam in 1860,” said the aged clergyman, when seen at the Occidental last night, “‘not in a palatial ocean gray- hound, but ina smalil saiiing vessel, by way of the Cape of Good Hope. “For the first fourteen or fifteen years I was engaged in missionary work in con- nection with the Presbvterian Missionary Bociety of America.

In fact, by the highest military authorities that the main concentration of troops on this coatt should be at the Presidio. It is essential aiso that the water supply of the Presidio should be ample for any emergency, and that the water should be free from all pollution. The location of the Marine Hospital at the very source of the natural water supply of the Presidio is regarded as a serious grnwb-ck. The sub- gct was freely discussed by General R. N. atcheider, and Major Davis, the repre- sentative of the Secretary of War, when these officers recently inspected the mili- tary posts of this department. he subject is now under consideration at Washington, and should the Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of War agree the hospital may be moved to Angel Island, and the troops moved from the island to the Presidio without Congres- sionallegislation. The authority orignally conferred on these departments to estab- lish the hospital on a mulitary reservation has not been revoked. _The surgeon-general of the Marine Hos- pital service expected to visit San Fran- cisco at the time the quartermaster-gen- eral and the representative of t'e Secre- tary of War inspected the posts here, but when he was about ready to leave Wash- ington the reports of cholera in Cuba made it necessary for him to remain on the At- lantic seaboard. All the papers and esti- nuates bearing on the proposed trunsfer of the Marine Hospital to Angel Island have been prelsued and submitted to him. General William M. Graham has gone to Mouterey for a few days. tain Ben- jamin K. Roberts, Fifth Artillery, is com- manding the post. _Lieutenant Oliver. E.

This change is due in a great measure to the growth of the City and the high death rate of old-timers, known to the early pioneers as men who would rather vote early and often than attend a dogp-fight. The Republican club recently formed in the Forty-fifth has also bad a great in- | fluence toward increasing the moral tone of the politics of that locality. The ciub was organized in December, 1895, and has a membership of 400. It was reorganized June 4 with the following officers: Charles G. Nagle, Wsidnm; M. E. Babb, vice- gvrenident; . 8. Wood, secretary, and illiam Shew, treasurer. The executive committee is composed of: M. E. Babb, chairman; R. E. Silveria, W. 8. Wood, C. J. Ward, J. F. Lawson, W. Shew, T.J. Stanton, L. Kirschbaum, Philip Brown and W. A. Scott. This committee has been authorized to procure suitable head- quarters for theclubduring the camp.lggL In view of the action recently taken by the County Committee in increasing its number, this club unanimously indorsed W.S. Wood as the additional member from the district. Mr. Wood will prove a very acceptable member of that body. If elected he will ook attentively aiter the interests of his section of the City in his capacity as an executive officer. He has the respect and confidence of his associ- ates in the cluband of the better class of residents in the district. FOR A HOSPTAL ALY, The Angel Island Post for Mili- tary Purposes May Be Abandoned. Applications to Succeed Admiral Beardslee, U. S. N, as Commander of the Pacific Squadron Angel Island as a military post may beabandoned and the troops of the United States Infantry there stationed be trans- ferred to the Presidio and Benicia Bar- racks. In case this project is carried out the United States Marine Hospital, now occupying grounds on tae Presidio Reser- vation, will be transferred to the island. Some half-forgotten incident- concerning the location of the hospital on the reser- vation may be recalled. ‘Waen it was decided to abandon the old Marine Hospital near the Pacific Mail Docks, now used as a Sailors’ Home, per- mission was given to locate the institution on a military reservation, provided the Secretary of the Treasury and tle Secre- tary of War could agree on a lccation. They did agree on the present location at the bead of Lobos Creek on the Presidio Reservation and this was accepted. The Government expended $40,000 in the construction of a building and subse- quently allowed $20.000 for laundry appli- ances and other apparatus. Some g00d reasons are said to exist now for removing the hospital, and Ange! Island, where patients could be trans- ferred from ships in rowboats and con- veved to the hospital wards without being jolted over the streets of the City, pre- sents many advantages. The island with- out fortifications is not useful asa mili- tary station, and the great scheme of harbor defense does not seem to contem- plate the building of works there.

SKABKL':. Y AnD CHOYNSKI. They Sparred, but Not Together, for Sharkey’s Benefit. The drawing card at the People’s Palace last night was the announcement that Pu- gilists Sharkey and Choynski would spara four-round bout. This simple announcment had the effect of filling the building with a paying crowd. Both pupilists in their respective lines being favorites their friends were anxious to show their abpreciation of their merits, Yet there was a little disappointment in the programme, as the two braves did not face each other, the change being that Choynski sparred with a light-weight named Leon Agnew from Illinois. Of course, the three rounds’ sparring was chicken play to Choynski, who per- miited the lightweight to tease him for the benefit of the audience. - Not so, however, with the three rounds sparred Ly Sharkey snd Needham, as Needham kept Corbett’s friend in active motion during the play.

REALTY MARKET REVIEW, Summary of Transactions for the First Half of This Year. A GO0OD BUILDING RECORD. June a Light Month for Business. Miscellaneous Notes of Interest. The record of real estate transactions, mortgages and releases for the first half of the present year is not as encouraging as it might be. It indicates a general dull- ness that seems to increase rather than diminish. A varlety of reasons for exist- ing conditions are given by different brok- ers and dealers. Some regard the cause as largely local in character and contend that the present aepressed condition of the market is due mainly to the heavy tax rate of last year. Others are of the opin- ion that the generally disturbed financial condition of the country is largely respon- sible for a disinclination on the part of the people, especially capitalists, to invest to any extent in real estate. In nearly all the large cities of the gountry the same dullness exists to nearly or quite as great an extent. The tax question does not obtrunde itself so promimently in hardly any other place as it does at present here, for last year San Fran- ciscoenjoyed the rather unenvisbledistinction of having nearly or quite the bighest tax rate of any City in the country, This was of course an additional hendicap to the resl estate mar- ket that other cities did not have to contend with, yet elsewhere business generally has been reported slow ail the year. From this it is fair to assume that the general condition of the country is as much if not more responsible for the prevailing condition of the market than any other one cause, and it will require more than a decreased tax rate to cause & renewal of activity in realty transactions. The story of the market for the first half of 1896, as indicated by th., records, is told in the foilowing figures, which are taken from the July issue of Magee's Real Estate Circular: MoxTH. %, | Amount.

The City of San Francisco (headed by Claus Bpreckels and sons with a subscription of 00,000) raised the total sum of $2,400,000, and the result will be a first-class’ railroad from Stockton to Fresno, a distance say of 250 miles. The issuance of bonds for ssooo.mo will complete this road to Bakersfield, near the southern end of the valley, and will slso give this City and 8tate aroad, by some route not yet selected, irom Stockion to San Fran- cisco bay. For over twenty years the people of the City and State have maintained 8 news- aper and wordy wear against the Southern ecific and its varied exactions and over- charges, without accomplishing anything whatever in the way of redress; but at last the mplo of this City stopped uning and began ing. They raised the sum named and used it in the construction of a first-class opposition rail- road. The resuit, althonch the line is only finished to Fresno, is th: t t:e Southern Pacific as already reduced itsri t: to a point which it lately declared before the Railroad Commis. sioners, 1f it were forced to adopt, would re- s ostn, Lo ..| 1821 |87,043,183 Total sales for first six months| | of 1895.... .......| 1894 | 8.904,178 A Good: forlast six months | 1694 | 6,339.668 1710 | 7,887,382 sult in bankruptey. We call attention 10 these facts to show the utter uselessness of eoem- plaints and talk, and the vital power of mone; and work. During the past five years of du times every other man, especially the rich, has made complaints without end. Each one has talked as kgmuh he had a personal greiv- ance against somebody because times were hard, rents falling and “profits low, or actual losses taking thelr place. All such people should be fuppressed hereafter as impudent nnNmnmh ht to prospe: oone has a constant and profit but he who manfully, in and on?g season, works for them. Francisco, one of the wealthiest of cities, had been going behind every way, and she deserved to go hflglud, for she allowed the railroad monopoly so to 'dis- criminate against her that in the course of & few years mgo‘te there would have been ro out- side trade at all left to her. At last she woke up and the San Joaquin Valley road is the re- sult. Now that enterprise is but the beginning of the discharge of her duties. A line up the Sacramento Valley, a line of steamships of her own on the Mexican and Central American coast must be established, and another to New York, either by Tehuantepec, Panama or the Straits of M.geflm. Allof these projects this City must launch and control. Thus we will be discharging our duties to this great State. ‘When we do so prosperity will come and rents and real estate will again advance, Mean- time, s we have said, the man of means who does nothing but_complain should be treated as a nuisance and sharply suppressed. All he has, a5 & rule, he made out of the exertions and enterprise of others. REVIEW OP THE RECORDS. There were sixty-lwo transfers recorded last week. Twenty-three building contracts calling for the expenditure of a total of $95,037 were filed last week. The particulars were, as usual, published in THE CALL at the date of filing. There were but thirty releases granted last | week, aggregating $66,674. They were nearly all for small amounts, and none was for 10,000 or over. ¥ Fifty-nine mortgages, aggregating $169,537, were recorded last week. Tne principal ones, together with the security given, were: y the Hibernia Savings and Loun Soclety, for one year at 62¢ per ceut, $10,000 on prop- egl—y on the north line of Washingzton street, 1 1eet east of Buchanan, east 50 by north 127 by the same, for one year, at 6}4 per cent, on property on the souiheust ,000 corper of Market and Sanchez streets, south 97:10%, east 125, north 60 west 83:5%, north’ 68:63, southwest 4 and by the same, for thiree years at 634 per cent, $30,000 on proreny on the northeast line of Main street, 137:6 feet southeast of Folsom, south- east 137:6 by northeast 275.

The time for the reception of the designs for the badges, stationery and regalia for | the carnival of the Golden Gate expires this afternoon at 4 o’clock. A committee, consisting of Dr. F. W. D’Evelyn, Colonel O’Byrne and R. P. Doolan, will be at head- quarters to receive the designs. A num- ber have already been sent in, and from the class of work submitted the committee will have a delicate task in selecting the finest and most appropriate. All seem to have gotten the carnival spirit and embodied the idea in connection | with the resources of the Golden State. The designs submitted already embrace a large variety of subjects. Hugh Craig, president of the Chamber of Commerce, has accepted the invitation of the executive committee to preside at the mass meeting to be held on Thursday afternoon next at 2:30 ». M. at the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce, in the Mer- chants’ Exchangebuilding. General War- field has received assurances from many | of the prominent business men all over the | City that they would be present and give | the carnival a good start, and financially. A list of dents is now being prepared, and will be announced prior to the meeting. Special designs for artistic posters for the carnival have been suggested to the executive committee. They are very favorably impressed with those offered, and have invited other artists to submit designs. It is proposed to issue a series of these goslers, sending them all over the Unite features of the carnival. Poster-collectin, being a fad, it is thought that a smail reveg- nue, sufficient to pay for their issuance at least, can be derived from their sale from those engaced in this delectable pursuit. There will be no dearth of music at the carnival if the committee accept only halt the offers of toreign bands that have been already tendered. The latest band to ap- ly for a place in the carn: o l':fl'llNNIV?l Reserve B ate of New Jersey.
