s SPELLING GAVE CURRAN THE LIE Stormy Scenes Witnessed Last Night at the Iroquois Club. RIVAL FACTIONS CLASH. Buckleyites and Juataites Unite in Indorsing the Nebraska Statesman. CHAIRMAN SMASHES A GLASS. Peter Kelly Waxes Eloquent and Is Subdued by the Sergeant- at-Arms. . Tne late domestic quarrel between the martial array of the Junta and the wor- shipers of Chris Buckley, late leader of the Democratic “push,” has been happily set- tled at last. It was conclusively demon- strated at the meeting of the lroquois Club last night. : ¢ When the gathering once got into swing the friction between the two factions set the political caldron to boiling, and it hummed merrily all the evening. The ball was started rolling by John A. Wall, a Buckleyite. “Mr. Chairman,” he demanded, “I want to know whether this ratification meeting to-morrow night is to be under the auspices of the Iroguois Club or the Democratic party?” : President Lemon rose to his feet, and in classical English informed the gentleman that it was under the auspices of the Demo- cratic party, which he said had no factions whatever. He said it as if he meant it, but Wall wasn’t satisfied. : “There is no use in denying, sir,” he emphatically retorted, ‘‘that’there are fac- tions in the Democratic party. Any fool ought to see that. Don’t you?” 2 e was hereupon forced to take his seat and wait for the matter to come up in | regular order. | Peter Kelly, the silver-tongued orator of | the club, walked to the center of the floor | and lauded the California delegation for | its noble work at the Chicago convention. He was applanded. Then came the explosion of the fire- crecker that started fun. George H. Fran- coeuer reported what the commitiee of which he was chairman had done in the matter of investigating precinct registra- tion. His advice that a late act might | make it illegal stirred the chairman to wrath and he took a hand. { Then every member took a hand and | pandemonium reigned. Every man in the | room was on his foet shouting for recog- nition. Motions pro and con were made | with such frequency that a phonograph | would have registered fifty 2 minute. | Judge Robert Ferral finally poured ver- | bal oil upon the sea of ears with which he was surrounded, the angry waves of dis- cord subsided ana the zood bark of har- mony sailed into calm waters. Then came another merry row, when an | itation from the Junta to attend their | ratification meeting to-night wasread. T. Carl Spelling wanted the club to accept | the nvitation of the Buckleyites also, and | the result that ensued was worse than the | wrangle in a stock pit. In rapping for order, Chairman Gilday jarred a glass off the secretary’s desk, and | it broke into 100 pieces. | Thomas Curran accused Spelling of try- | ing to bring discord into the meetin g, and was promptly given the lie, | He said he would make it a personal | matter, but friends managed to prevent | trouble by the use of many gentle, plead- ing words. ! The confusion-that ensued when the | club decided to attend the Junta ratitica- tion so inspired orator Kelly that he per- | sisted in taking the floor ‘and had to be | seated by the sergeant-at-arms. A resolution indorsing Bryan as the | standard-bearer of the Democracy was rushed through with tumultuous applause. The irrepressible Kelly tried to rise again, | but was sat on by his nearest neighbor. Then the platform and everything else in the platiorm was Xndorsed’. They all | just leaped over one another in hunting | something else to indorse, It was decided to send congratulatory | telegrams to Bryan and the Oalifornia | delegation at once. Kelly seconded the motion with fervid eloquence. The chairman announced that all would | meet to night, and, with a silver dollar for a badge, march to the ratification meet- ing. In this they counted without twenty-five Buckleyitess They will go to Metropolitan Temple. — PREPARING TO CANVASS, Committees Ready to Start Raising Funds for the Carnival, Plans for Disposing of the Surplus Expected to Survive the Festivities. The special committee appointed at the meeting held at the Chamber of Commerce Thursday, to further the interests of the Carnival of the Golden Gate, met at the Lick House yesterday afternoon. Nearly every member was present. All came pre- pared to advocate the immediate work of raising funds. There was but little dis- cussion on the advisability of holding the carnival and it was decided that the active canvass shonld begin at once. ‘W. H. Millsand Henry J. Crocker will call upon H. E. Huntington, president of the Southern Pacific Company, at 10 o’clock this morning to ascertain how much that company, as the largest rail- road corporation in the City, is willing to invest in the carnival. The next place they visitwill be the street railway com- panies represented in the Market-street Railway Company. After this is visited Mr. Crocker and Mr. Haber will visit other of the transportation companies, the gas, electric light and water companies. David Rich will canvass the real estate men and Colonel George Stone will visit the hotels. ° The committee will meet later in the afternoon ata slnce to be designated, and from the confident tenor in which many of the members epoke about one-half of the amount needed will probably be pledged to-morrow night. They base their calculations upon promises made to others in the committee earlier in the work, and since the matter received such an impetus at the hands of the Chamber of Commerce on Thursday they feel that their ideas as regards the financial ques- tion are not extravagant. . ‘W. H. Mills was the author of a ve happy suggestion as to the surplus whic] will undoubtedly remain after the features of the carnival are carried out. “For ears,”’ said Mr. Mills, ‘San Francisco has n handicapped in many ways by the | ] i THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATU"BDAY, JULY 11, 1896. lack of a proper building in which to hold monster meetings, grand opera and large musical affairs. Eo better disposition could be made of whatever remains after tis carniyal than the formation of a fund, to commence the erection of such a struc- ture, which would be not only a credit to San Francisco, but would be the means of bringing thousands of people here. *The “Christian Endeavor convention has selected San Francisco for its conve tion next year. Some 30,000 people a coming here, and 1t will be a most auspicious welcome if the managers of the Carniyal of the Golden Gate this year will turn over sufficient surplus to enable the people of San Francisco to erect & build- ing capable of accommodating that many persons.” Mr. Mills also elaborated upon the idea that such a_meeting-place would attract future political conventions, and referred to the fact that Sun Francisco is seriously handicapped by the lack of & building large enough to hold a crowd sufficiently ]gurge to make any enterprise pay. Invitations are being sent out to all or- ganized bodies in S8an Francisco notifying them to elect a delegate who will repre- sent them in the formation of parades dur- iug carnival week. The idea exgre!ud in the invitation by the committee is that all societies having a specific object could be represented by a float depicting this fea- ture, for which a prize will be offered, probably for the best idea, the handsomest fioat, or such other features as the com- mittee may decide on after they learn what the societies propose to do. The committee will exercise great care to pre- vent the introduction of any floats into ARBITRATION I ALAMEDA COUNTY, Republican Factions Sub- mit to the State Central Committee. CONGRESSIONAL PEACE.

The rest of the proceedings of the Ex- ecutive Committee consisted of intormai discussion of campaign prospects. st s VETOED BY THE MAYOR. His Honor Does Not Approve of the Private Contract Ordinance for Street Work. Mayor Sutro sent the ordinance reviv- ing the private contract system of doing street work back to the Board of Super- Visors yesterday without his signature. The Mayor contends that under the sys- tem of public bids for street work the tax- payers get more for their money than under the proposed law and that the or- dinancs is unjust in that it does away with the safeguards thrown around the interests of the citizens by previous regu- lations. He also objects to the measure because it authorizes the collection of money on street work before it is accepted and be- cause it does not protect the property- owners who refuse to sign private con- tracts. e Schooner Herman Libeled. Henry Schultze, a seaman, commenced ac- tion in the United States District Court yester- day against the Pacific Trading Company, pro- Prietorsof the schooner Herman, to recover $62 50 nlleged to be due as wages and $80 for clethes lost by the schooner. Schultze in his complaint says that he sailed from this port In January of last year,and that while in the Japan Ses he became separated from the ves- sel, finallylanding on the coast of Japan. The Herman was at that time lyiog in a Japanese port, the master telegraphing him to come 1o where she was. When Ke reached that port, however, the schooner haa sailed, thereby subjecting him to all manner of hardships, The claimant now sceks to recover his part of A Corner in the New Headquarters of the Republican State Central Committee. stores in the City.

The members of the execative commit- | tee are rapidly disposing of the tickets for the benefit performance at the Columbia Theater on Thursday afternoon next. The sale of seats will commence on Tues- day, subject to the reservations made at the auction on that afternoon at the Mer- chants’ Exchange. The gross receipts of the performance wiil be given to the car- nival fund. T. A. BURNS UNDER FIRE He Is Accused of Embezzling the Pay of Several Restaurant ‘Waiters. Two warrants, charging Thomas A. Burns with felonious’embezzlement, were sworn out yesterday in Police Court 1 by Manuel Fernandez and Anton Huber. Burns is a produce merchant at 109 Sev- enth street. In May, 1895 Meyers’ restau- rant, on Ellis street, was attached by creditors. Burns and two other creditors were put in charge of the establishment to represent all of theclaimants, it being the understanding that they should keep the place open at their own risk. Burns took possession of the place, and conaucted it from one Wednesday to the following Sunday, during which time he furnished the supplies in his line at the highest market prices, so it was asserted. During that time Burns asserted that the place had lost $900, and that the receipts hud amounted to only $300. Those inter- ested were not ' satisfied with this report, claiming that each table realized from $25 tom;ao a day and there were thirty-six tables. On the Monday morning following the creditors released - the attachment, and Meyers gave Burns a bill of sale to the proo- erty. The restaurant was subsequently sold for $1100, the purchaser giving Burns $791 and assuming the responsibility for a crockery bill for the balance. He gave the produce merchant a check for the amount, It was the understandiug that Burns should use this money for the payment of the hired help in the restaurant, they be- ing the preferred creditors under the law. Their claims amounted to $750. The com- plainants in the criminal action state that Burns -promised to pay them at once. That was on May 29, 1896, but he neglected to do, and on one occsion, when the res. taurant employes called at his house, there was a disturbance in which the police had to interfere. From that time to the present the Meyers insolvency case has been dragging along 1n the court, but the ommy" bave not received fheir money. Fernandez and Huber dech(cd that they would not wait anv longer, 8o they swore to the complaints as stated. Fernandez says that Burns owes him $160 ana Huber’'s claim is $58. In all probability- about twenty more employes’ claims of the same character will be pressed in the Criminal courts. THE SHERIFF'S SALE OF DRY G00DS.

Jncks, general secretary of the Oakland the coming Congressional convention of the Third District. Fourteen of the members were present in the handsome and convenient new headquarters on the first floor of the Palace Hotel. H. Z. Osborne of Los Angeles and Irving B. Dudley of San Diego were pres- ent from the south. Chairman McLaugh- lin, Secretary M. R. Higgins, John D. Spreckels and A. B. Lemmon of Santa Rosa were among the others on hand. The committee wrestled with the Ala- meda trouble for two hours, and then gave & decision that satisfied both sides, and which will result in harmony in the district conventior. called for the 22d inst. in Vallejo, unless the'factions break out again. The trouble presented for arbitra- tion and the situation out of which it grew, were briefly as follows: ‘When the Congressional committee, before the State eonvention, decided to appoint delegates from the counties of the Third district. some of the Republican leaders and clubs demanded primaries. The members of the Congressional com- mittee representing Alameda County -p})oiniad delegates and a contesting delegation waselected at the primaries. At Sacramento the contesting delegation was seated. Then it neld a Congressional con- vention, at which two district delegates to St. Louis were appointed and at which the present acting Congressional committee | ‘was created. The unseated appointed delegates held a rival convention and elected two contest- ing delegates to the National Convention. There thre contestanfs were seated and by this the Oon‘g'wnnu convention which the State nvention repudiated was recognized. Not long ago the Congressional com- mittee created at Sacramento called a con- vention for the 22d inst. nominate a Congressman and ordered primaries op the 15th inst. In all counties rvision of the primaries was dnlqutnr to the county committees, but .in Alameda County, where the factional split re- mained, it was ordered that the county committee should name but two of the five election officers in each precinct, the Congressional committee to name two and the fifth to be selected by lot. This the county committee, a majority of which is controlled by the Denison fac- tion, would not stand. It was deciared that the Congressional committee was not a legal ope, a8 the convention from which it proceeded had not been recognized at 8t. Lounis, The county committee pro- to go ahead and call an election ‘of ts own, refusing to recognize the call un- less it was given full control of the primary. Various compromise propo- lons were made, but the Congressional committee refused them and appealed to ;l;c gtne Executive Committee to take a nd, So the factions assembled from across the bay. The Congressional Commitiee faction was represented by Babcock of Alameda, who was the chief spokesman: William' Laird Hill, George . Pardee, W. H. Friend ana by Charles L. Pierce, W. A. von Schmidt and W. W. Knickerbocker, members of the present. Congressional committee. The county committee faction was rep- resented by M. C. Chapman, . Church and Charles Mautalen, chairman of the county commiitee. Eli Denison, George P. Morrow and W. J. O'Connell also came along. i The case was heard in executive session in the presence of both sides. After much argument, and after a half hour’s consid- eration by the committee, the following decision was rendered.

President Dohrmann and Secretary Freud of the Merchants' Association addressed the So- ciety of Hermans Sons at Druids’ Hall last night on the new charter.

NEW FARES ANNOUNCED They Will Go Into Effect on the Steamers Within Ten Days. RAIL RATES NOT YET FIXED. The Special Oregon Train to Be With- drawn—Freights Not Yet Acted Upon. ‘Whoever wants to travel to Portland on the existing low rates will have to do so within the next ten days. Peace, and presumbly harmony, was re- stored between the Southern Pacific Com~ pany and the Oregon Railway and Navi- gation Company yesterday,and the im- mediate result is an advance in rates be- tween San Francisco ard Portland, which will go into effect on the steamship line on the 21st inst., and probably on the same date on the rail route. General Manager E. McNeill of the Ore- gon Railway and Navigation Company ar, rived in Portland a few days ago, and learning this fact Traffic Manager J. C. Stubbs of the Southern Pacific Company .wired him requesting an interview with a view of settling the rate war that has been in progress for ten monchs past. McNeill responded favorably and on Tuesday night Mr. Stubbs, accompanied by H. R. Judah, assistant general passenger agent, and William Sproule, assistant general freight | agent of the Southern Pacific Company, | proceeded to Portland to confer with Mr, | McNeill. The definite result of the conference was the receipt yesterday of a telegram by F. F. Connor, the local agent of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, in- forming him that steamer rates were to be advanced from $5 to $12 for first-class fares and from $2 50 to §6 for second - class. These will go into effect on the steamer | Columbia, leaving Portland on the 2ist 1nst., and on the State of California, leay- beré on the 22d. Bat two more steamers will leave here under the war rates—one on Sunday next and another on the 17th. On the State, which leaves,here on Sun- day, every regular berth was taken on Thursday, and tickets are now being sold which provide sleeping accommodations on the floor. . Only ten or twelve of these, however, are sold on any one steamer. No word was received at the office of the railroad company yesterday as to what rates would be put in under the new deal, but it was stated that the special train, which has been operated to leave on the days when steamers departed, would probably be taken off altogether, and the present rates of $10 for first-class passage and $5 for second-class would in conse- quence be abolished. TUnder ante-war conditions the price of a thirty-day first- class ticket was $25, of a first-class five-day ticket $20, and of & second - class ticket $16 50. The last named included a berth, but on the other two the berth charge was extra, and was $5 for the two nights occupied in part of the journey. The cut rae of $10 and $5 respectively in- cluded berths. It is stated that a $20 first-class ticket, with a five or ten days’ limit, will now be placed on sale, and a $12 second-class ticket. The $25 tickets will probably be withdrawn, Mr. Judah is expected back to-day and railroad rates will then be definitely announced. 2 Thus far nothing has been done to change freight rates, but it is expected that these will be advanced also as the result of the Portland conference.

A half dol- lar of 1850 without the motto “In God We Trust” is not a scarcity, and is worth only its face value. Prior to 1864 no coin of the United States bore that motto. A writer who Jooked up’ the matter gives the following account of the placing of the motto on the coins: “The introduction of a motto or device on the coins had been suggested many times more or less directly, but the suggestion that was finally adopted came from a Maryland farmer. In 1861, when Salmon P.Chase was Secretary of the Trearury, this old farmer suggestea that, aswe claimed to be a Christian people, we should indicaie our profession on our eoinage. The letter was referred to James Pollock, the Di- rector of the Mint, who in his report for 1862 discussed the ?uesuon ot the recognition of the sovereignty of God and our trust in him on our coins. The proposition to introduce him on our coins, he said, nad been favorably con- sidered by Mr. Chase, and he- did not doubt ‘that it would meet with approval by an intelli- gent public sentiment. But Congress gave To attention to the suggestion, 50 in hismext annual report he again referred to the subject as follows: ‘The motto suggested, “God Our Trust,” is taken from our National hymn, “The Star-spangled Banner.” The sentimen: 1s familiar to every citizen of our country; it has thrilled the hearis and has fallen’ in song from the lips of millions of American freemen. The time is propitious; tis an hour of National peril and danger, hour when man’s strength is weakness d salvation must be of God. Let us reverently acknowl- edge his sovereignty and declare our trust in God’ A two-cent bronze piece was authorized coined the following year April 23, 1864), and_upon this was rst stamped ‘In’ God We Trust’ By an act of Congress, March 3, 1865, the Director of the Mint was authorized to place the motto on ali gold and silver coin.” 44D TO KEEP MOVING Walked About the House All Night.
