THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, AUGUST .25, 1896. YACHTS DRIFT ON THE LAKE, Failure of the First Race for the International Championship. CANADA AND VENCEDOR The American Boat Probably Saved From a Defeat by the Wind. HANDICAPPED BY CONDITIONS. Canadians Greatly RElated Over the Showing Made by Their Fast Sailer. TOLEDO, O=1o, Aug. 24.—The attempt to sail the first international race between the Canada and Vencedor for the inter- lake yachting championship on Lake Erie, off Toledo, resulted in a failure on account of the lack of wind, as the regatta com- mittee declared the race off at 3 o’clock this afternoon, after the yachts had drifted about for four hours. Wher the race was called, the Canada, which had a lead of over a mile, had only covered six miles, or about a quarter of the course, and was half way between the first and second marks on the first round. The race was witnessed by a big crowd of spectators, and nearly 100 steam and sail- ing craft followed the yachts over the course. The Canadians were naturally greatly elated over the showing of their champion, while the American yachtsmen were glum over the result. As a matter of fact the original condi- tions have handicapped the Vencedor, so that it will be little short of a miracle if she wins in a light wind, though she will undoubtec'y do well in a blow. As it is she is under-canvased and cannot do her- self justice. The course to-day was a triangular one of twelve miles, four miles to the leg, and sailed over twice. At 10:55 a gun was fired from the steam yacht Sigma as a signal for the yachts to get ready to start, and they slowly shifted their positions to the windward end of the line and began jockeying for the weather berth. The Canada moved through the water at quite a lively rate considering the almost imperceptible wind that was blow- ing, while the Vencedor had hardly steer- age way. When the starting signal was given at 11 o’clock both yachts hauled on the wind on the starboard tack and headed for the line. The Canada ran up the Ven- cedor weather quarter and set & big jib topsail and balloon forestaysail, which, as she forged ahead, blanketed the Chicago boat and left her in the doldrums as she went over the line. It was some time before the Vencedor felt the wind again, but in the meantime she ran up a small jib topsail and began to gather headway and crossed the line with little more than steerage way on her. The Canada came about on the port tack at 11:23 o’clock and stood across the Ven- cedor’s ‘bows, again taking the wind out of her sails, and just as she began to fill again she found the Canada had gone about and was on her weather quarter and in a short timehad cleared and was well to windward and gone to the west- ward hunting wind. At 11:40 o'clock the Vencedor went about on the port tack in such a light air that she was forty seconds in staysand then stood well to the north, where it looked as though there might be a breeze. In all this time the yachts had not sailed a quarter of a mile. Each held on and at 11:40 o’clock the Canada came abouton the port tack and stood after the Ven- cedor. At 11:55 the wind shifted to the east of north and came out with enough strength for the first time to fill the sails, and then the yacits were able to lay their course on the starboard tack for the stakeboat, with the wind abeam. The Canada then, with her bigger proportionate sail area, began to draw rapidly away from the Vencedor, which simply drifted along, and by the time the Canada turned the mark, at 1:13:40, she was a mile in the lead. As soon as the Canada turned and stood off on the starboard tack tne Vencedor’s spinnaker was set to starboard, but it did her no good, as there was not enough wind to fill it and it blanketed her head sails. At 1:40 she rounded the stakeboat and headed after the Canada, which slowly con- tinued to draw away, till at 3 o’clock the wind dropped to a flat calm, and a few minutes later the regatta committee de- clared the race off for the day, as it was impossible to finish it within the requirea five and a half hours’ time limit. The yachts will sail over the same course to- MOITow. —_—— ON EASTERN DIAMONDS.

Lynch, representing Tom Sharkey, San Francisco's “‘SBailor Boy” pugilist. and Samuel Thall, Jim Corbett’s representa- tive, met at the office of the Police Gazette to-night to fix a time and place and con- sider propositions for the Corbett-Sharkey fight. Corbett was called to Baltimore on business. His representative said that Corbett de- sired to have inserted in the articles of agreement a clause providing that the winner of the contest should be awarded the Police Gazette championship-of-the- world belt, which Corbett claims by rizht of forfeit from Fiizsimmons. This was agreeable to Mr. Lynch, and the articles were ordered changed accordingly. W. H. Wheelock, on behalf of Dan Stuart, said he was ready to guarantee to pull off the fight at a place which would be free from police interference. Mr. Stuart said he had not yet decided what purse he would offer for the fizht. Mr. Lynch _said the National Sporting Club of San Francisco had made a stand- ing offer of $20,000 for the fight, but Mr. Wheelock said Mr. Stuart would make no such offer. It was finally decided to adjourn the meeting until next Thursday, when it is expected Corbett and Sharkey will be pres- ent. Mr. Stuart will then name the figure he is willing to give for the fight. Thie articles of agreement for the fight were signed in San Francisco on June 26, and call for a meeting of the two men within six months. The contest will be for $20,000, of which sum $5000 bas already been vosted. On September 1 an additional $5000 will be put up and the balance is to be handed to the stakeholder one week before the date decided upon for the fight. Mr. Lynch said Sharkey was ready to meet Corbett on four weeks’ notice. He is at present at Mount Clemens, Mich., and is said to be in excellent condition. It is announced by Mr. Thall that Mr. Brady had retired from the management of Mr. Corbett’s pugilistic affairs and that Mr. Corbett would hereafter attend to these matters himself. xS o 5 ON SANTA M CA COURTS.

FAVORED BY CLEVELAND Fidelity of the Politician of the Corn State Is Suitably Rewarded. HAS LONG HELD FULL SWAY. With - a Rod of Iron the Western Statesman Dictated All the Fat Appointments. BUZZARDS BAY, Mass, Aug. 24.— President Cleveland announced to-night that David R. Francis, ex-Governor of Missouri, had been appointed Secretary of the Interior, vice Hoke Smith, resigned, and that he will assume the duties of his office September 1. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 24.—Ex- Governor Francis has not let the\ grass grow under his feet. On Saturday, when the news of Secretary Smith’s resignation became public, Mr. Francis dropped into town quietly and spent the afternoon with Secretary Carlisle at the Treasury Department. Yesterday morning he spent with the Secretary at his residence on K street, and yesterday afternoon departed as quietly and mysteriously as he had arrived. Mr. Francis is a Cleveland man, after the President’s own heart, and has. shared the fate of all other Cleveland men. When ‘Dave” Francis defeated old “Garden Sass” Cockrell for the guberna- torial nomination in Missouri years ago he was regarded as the coming man in Mis- souri politics. For awhile he d.ctated politics absolutely. Then he joined the Cleveland camp and became the Presi- dent’s “grand almoner” of all the Federal patronage in Missouri, and to-day it is doubted if Mr. Francis could rally 5000 votes out of the hundreds of thousands of Democratic voters in Missouri. Mr. Cleveland’s admiration for Francis was without limit. Every appointment that be made in Missouri was dictatea by Francis. He absolutely ignored Senators Cockrell and Vest and in the case of the latter carried this disregard of Senatorial prerogative to open contempt. At the re- quest of Francis President Cleveiand ap- pointed Samuel Priest Federal Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri. Mr. Priest was an excellent lawyer, but he had been for years Mr. Gould’s at- torney for the Missouri Pacific Railroad, and his appointment was very unpopular. Mr. Cleveland paid no heed to the pro- test, but Mr. Priest, after a few months’ service, retired from his' position. He wrote out his resignation, but instead of forwarding it to the President he handed it to Mr. Francis. Francis placed the resignation in his pocket, came on to ‘Washington, saw the President, and in half an hours interview had Priest's resignation accepted and the appoint- ment of George Adams, a personal friend, made out. Senator Vest of Missouri had been for twelve years a member of the Judiciary Committee. As Senator from Missouri and as 8 member of that com- mittee which passes upon qualifications of Federal appointments, he had a right to demand that he be consulted; but Mr. Vest’s first knowleage of Mr, Priest's resignation was when he read in the after- noon paper that his successor, Mr. Adams, had been appointed. When Postmaster-General Bissell an- nounced his determination to retire from the Cabinet President Cleveland had se- lected ex-Governor Francis as his succes- sor, and he intended to vend Wilson to Mexico to succeed the late Governor Gray of Indiana. Mr. Wilson wanted the place, and said so very frankly. Consequently, when at the last moment President Cleve- land, for reasons which it is not necessary to enter into at this moment, changed his plansand named Senator Ransom of North Carolina for the Mexican mission, Wilson was indignant, and he placed no limits on the passiorate language in which he de- nounced the ‘‘chiet of the Muscovy drakes,”” as he dubbed Mr. Ransom, who had robbed him of the coveted post. Bo great was the outcry of protest raised by Wilson’s friends that President Cleveland was reluctantly compelled to shelve Fran- cis and give the postmaster-generalship to Wilson. Francis accepted the situation very gracefully and now has his reward. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 24.—David Row- land Francis was born of Scotch Irish parents in Richmond, Ky., October 1, 1050. Supplementing his common school education in Kentucky, he graduated from Washington University in this city in 1880, with the degree of bachelor of arts. After three years’ apprenticeship in commersial life, he organized the D. R. Francis & Bro. Commission Company which is still one of the leading firms op- erating at the Merchants' Exchange. In 1883 he was elected vice-president of the exchange and then chosen president. He has been a life-long Democrat and in 1884 was a delegate to the convention that nominated Mr. Cleveland for President. The following year he was elected Mayor of St. Louis by 1400 majority, overcoming a former Republican majority of 14,000. Long-needed municipal reform flourished under his administration. In 1888 he was elected Governor of Missouri by one of the heaviest majorities ever achieved by his party in Missouri, and his wise conduct of the office is still & criterion. Prior to the Chicago convention of this year he was very prominent in the ranks of the sound- money Democrats, and took a leading part in the effort to beatback the rising of the silver agitation. In 1886 Mr. Francis was wedded to Miss Jennie Perry of St. Louis, daunghter of John Perry, president of the Laclede National Bank. Six boys were born of this union. A TRAMP PRINTER'S LUCK. Meets His Brother, a Los Angeles Mil- lionaire, Whom He Long Sup- posed Was Dead. CHICAGO, irL, Aug. 24.—Edward T. Doheny, the millionaire oil king of Los Angeles, Cal., came to Chicago to-day to look for his brother, Thomas C. Doheny, whom he had not seen in twenty-four years, He found him last night in a saloon on Van Buren street, destitute, poor and out of employment. The meeting was a pathetic one, for Thomas had supposed his brother dead. When Richard L. Doheny left home his father and mother and two brothers and a sister were living. Al of them died ex- cept his elder brother, Thomas, who had drifted to Chicago and followed his trade as a printer. Desiring to see his brother Mr. Doheny came to Chicago and applied at the Cen- tral station for assistance, Detectives were detailed on the case and they located the missing brother in a saloon. His clothes were nggod. his shoes torn and his hair long and shaggy. ‘When Detective Burke stepped up to him and asked him if he had any rela- tives, the old printer said he had a brother, but he thought he had died vears ago. When Burke told Doheny his brother was waiting to see him in McCoy’s Hotel across the street, the man almost leaped in the air with delight. The two brothers were brought face to face and wept in each other’s arms with joy. The millionaire oil king took his brother to a barber-shop, where he was given the {full benefit of a tonsorial artist’s labors. Then he enjoyed a bath. A fashionable haberdasher furnished the best of wearing apparel and a clothiera brand new suit of clothes. A dinner at the Auditorium was enjoyed by the brothers, and then both retired to™ their rooms in the Annex. STAGE ROBBERS KILL A WOMAN. She Pluckily Refused to Give Up Her Valuables and Was Shot Dead by a Bandit, GUTHRIE, O. T., Aug. 24.—The stage- coach between Grande and Arapahoe, 1n Day County, was held up by four high- waymen early this morning and the four occupants were ordered to stand and de- liver. Mrs. Amy Childs of Philadelphia refused to dismount and was shot dead. The highwaymen were undoubtedly Bill Doolin and his three pals. Doolin escaped from the United States Jail in this city six weeks ago by sawing through the bars and overpowering the guards. The hold-up took place neara clump of woods and near a ravine where the rob- bershad hid themselves. One grabbed the horses, another covered the driver, while the other two walked rapidly to the stage and jerked open the door and demanded from the passengers their cash. The three men, Berry, Richards and Stein or Stern complied. Mrs. Child in- dignantly cried: *“You are dirty cowards, and you'll have to kill me to get my money.” ‘While one robber received the valua- bles of the three frightened men the other robber parleyed a few moments with the woman, then deliberately raising his gun he fired upon her. A few seconds later the outlaws were scurrying through the ravine, where they mounted horses and fled. Several posses have been organized and are pursuing the highwaymen. The three passengers in the stage with Mrs, Childs were cattlemen. All were armed at the time of the attack, but were go suddenly confronted that resistance was futile. The robbers secured $760 in money and two watches. PITHINS AT CLEVELARD The Forest City Entirely in the Hands of the National Conclave. Gorgeous Pageants Precede Business Sessions Which Promise to Be of Great Interest. CLEVELAND, Omio, Aug. 26.<The Forest City, the Pythian banner city of Ohio, which is the banner State of the or- der, has been given over completely to the Knights of Pythias for the National Con- clave. Blue, orange and red, the tri- colored standard of the Uniform Rank, is everywhere. and the scarlet flag, with the white lily emblazoned, waves from every housetop and flagpole. The “Payne Pas- tures,” comprising a tract of fifty acres in the heart of the city, is a white city of 2000 tents. It is called Camp Perry Payne. Eight thousand uniformed Knights are here, aad it is said that 20,000 men will line up in the great parade to-morrow. Most Worthy and Illustrious Prince of the Universe John A. Hinsay of Chicago and his sacred dromedary of the Knights of Korassan were much in evidence to- day. He was escorted through the streets by 500 Knights in glittering Arabic cos- tumes. Nothing of moment was transacted at the morning session. The order was in- creased from 1500 to 9000 since last De- cember. The action of the Knights of Pythias convention, which opens to-morrow, with regard to the German ritual is awaited with great interest by the Knights assembled. Charges will be preferred against the chancellors of three lodges that use the German ritual in violation of the rules laid down by the Supreme Lodge some time ago. The bulk of opinion sustains the Supreme Lodge. Past Chancellor A.R. Wood of Kansas City sai “The matter has been settled for good. It will certainly come up at the meeting of the Supreme Lodge, but 1 do not favor any change. 1 do not think any will be made, and the law forbidding the printing of German rituals will stand.” Past Supreme Chancellor Goff of Rhode Island said: “Ifavored a German ritual when the matter was up before, but now that it has been settled I think it ought to remain 80.” 1t is said that the German lodges will fight hard, and some have threatened to go to any extreme. ———— Gold Under the Floor.

SANTA BARBARA MISSION'S LOSS Death of Father Superior Servatius Altmicks at Los Angeles. OLD IN SACRED WORK. Though an Invalid, He Spent a Lifetime Laboring for Mankind. CROSSED THE PLAINS IN 1858. Father Bernardin, a Youthful Priest, Named as the Dead Man’s Successor. SANTA BARBARA, Cin, Aug. 24— This year will be a memorable one of sor- row and tragedy in the annals of the old mission of Santa Barbara. Scarcely has the shadow of the awful crime by which the venerable Father Ferdinand Berg- meyer, the beloved father superior, lost his life last spring begun to lift from the venerable pile when the news comes of the death of his successor, Father Ser- vatins Altmicks, who passed away at noon yesterday in the house of the Fran- ciscan fathers in Los Angeles, whither he went a week or two ago in failing health. Father Servatius was one of the first members of the German Province of the Sacred Heart to emigrate to this country, reaching here in 1858 and joining in the organization of the central house of the order of St. Louis. He was 67 years old and had spent forty-five years in the order, forty-two in the priesthood. He was a very pious and self-abnegating man, and served the church and his people faithfully all these years, although he may’ be said to have been a lifelong invalid, having suffered for . more than forty years from a severe rupture. He filled many important posi- tions in the order and upon the death of Father Bergmeyer was selected to act as father superior of the Santa Barbara mis- sion, pending the appointment of a regu- lar successor to the murdered priest. This appointment was recently made by the St. Louis house in the person of Father Bernardin, a youthful, gifted and zealous man, who assumed his high office two weeks ago. The news of the death of Father Serva- tius comes as a shock to all of the mem- bers of his order here and there ave fears that its effect will prove fatzl to the ven- erable Father Fox, the oldest member of the order on this coast, who has, since the murder of Father Ferdinand, been lying mortallyill at the mission. A strong feel- ing of personal attachment unites these aged priests who have so long labored to- gether in warm comradeship in their sa- cred cause. The dead priest’s body was brought to Santa Barbara on the noon train to-day, and on Wednesday morning at 9 o’clock funeral services will be conducted by the Order of 8t. Francis. His body will be placed in the new tomb, beside Father Bergmeyer’s, in the churchyard attached to the old mission. WAR KirPT THEM APART, Aged Sweethearts Meet and Marry After Many Years’ Separation. LOS ANGELES, "CAL..-Aug. 24—Two hearts, separated by the war, two hands, torn apart by the struggle between the North and the South, were reunited when John L. Amlin of Anaheim signed his name to the marriage register Saturday morning. Long ago, before the war, Johnpie Amlin, son of a well-to-do Illi- nois farmer, loved a little girl named Sallie. They waded in the brooks and pulled the wild honeysuckle together, and though of tender years and unconscious of the sanctity of the vows, they pledged to each other their murual love. The war came and Johnnie marched away with the soldiers with Sallie’s fatber. The latter was killea and Johnunie, after having known a Southern prison, wandered far away from his school-girl sweetheart. She, with her mother, gave up the old farm, and leaving the prairie S ate, left for the silver hills of Colorado. There a rough but kindly miner saw and loved Sallie. The miner, named Cham- berhn, died, and Sallie, now aged 58, came to Los Angeles. Hither John Amlin came many years ago and recently the two met. Though he is 60 and she but two years his junior, they secured a license at the clerk’s office and were married. —— COAST NEWS IN BRIEF. Frank C.

There is but little new work being car- ried on at present outside of boats for various ships, the great part of work be- ing that of repair to the cruisers and the Hartford. The ship-joiners who recently made ap- plication for an increase of pay have had their request denied by the department. Congressman Hilborn is of the opinion that the next Congress will pass an appro- priation for the building of an additional drydock at Mare Island. If soitwill be the means of. giving employment to many additional men, and willallow battle-ships of the Oregon’s class to go there for dock- age. Opening of vproposals for constructing the quaywall near the coalsheds have been postponed for a few days. There is still a possibility that the work may be done by the navyyard workmen, and without doubt they would do better work than the contractors, no matter how closely the work is looked after. The cote for the homing pigeons to be kept at the yard is well under way. About one hundred birds are to be sent out from the East to be distributed to the various ships in the Pacific fleet. e P Budd Departs From Tallac.

STOCKTON, Car., Aug.24.—Represent- ative Grove L. Johnson was in this city to- day. When spoken to regarding his stand on the silver question he said: “My record shows how 1stand for silver. I have always spoken for it and voted for it.” ‘When asked if he would stay away from Republican caucuses on the silver ques- tion, if such should be held, he said: “Oh, no; I am a Republican. Just wait until 1 make my speech here during the campaiga, and then you will see how I stand.” The people of this section feel particu- larly grateful to Johnson for his work in behalf of an adaitional appropriation for a postoffice for Stockton, and on account of the stand taken by him in endeavoring to get a bill passed for the river improve- ments that are so necessary to the future welfare of Stockton. Kern County Democrats. BAKERSFIELD, Cavn., Aug. 24—The Democratic County Convention was held here to-day. J. W. Ahern was nomi- nated on the first ballot for Superior Judge, and George W. Wear, editor of the Gazette, for Assemblyman. H. A, Jastro and Dell Hill were nominated for Super- visors.

DEFIANCE, O., Aug. °4.—The Linthi- cum Carriage Company of this city, incor- porated with a capital stock of $100,000, and one of the largest carriage manufac- tories in Northwesteru Ohio, failed this SOCIEFY'S OUTING AT DEL MONTE, The Famed Resort Passes Into Burlingame's Possession. POLO-PLAYERS ABSENT. Riverside and Santa Monica Fail to Send Contesting Teams. HOBART'S TWENTY EQUIPAGES Traps and Drags of Varied Kind at His Disposal—Mrs. Hearst’s » Picnic. DEL MONTE, Cavn;, Aug. 24.—Bad be- ginning, good ending,” is a saying said to be as true as it is old. Therefore, the lat- ter part of the Burlingame Club’s week of sport at Del Monte will surely be a sur- passing success. The beginning isin the nature of a disappointment. In the first place, although there are about 300 people here, the attendance is not as great as was expected. Twice as many as are here now are, however, due on or before Thursday. Then things have gone wrong with the polo game scheduled for to-morrow. Owing to the non-arrival of several of the players, the game has been declared oft. Mr. Walter 8. Hovart, Mr. Charles O. Baldwin, Mr. John Lawson, Captain ‘Wainewright and Mr. Richard Tobin are here, but that is all. There are very few of the Country Club members here and few are expected. Mr. and Mrs. Walter 8. Hobart and party ana the Misses Tobin and Edwin Tobin came down by the afternoon flyer. In the Ho- bart part were Miss Juliette Williams and her pretty cousin, Miss Rodgers. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Baldwin met the party on their arrival. Miss Julietie Williams is the reigning belle at the hotel. At dinner this evening she was the observed of all observers. Mrs. Hobart is not enjoying the best of health, and after the fatigue of the journey was obliged to retire to her apartments. Miss Beatrice Tobin, one of the buds of last year, has blossomed intoa glorious rose.. A wealth of hair, the color that Titian loved to paiut, frames a fresh young face und half conceals a tiny ear. She dresses with exquisite taste, and like her sister, Miss Celia Tobin, carries herself with queenly grace. Mrs. Crocker Alex- ander hasso far displayed several elabo- rate and ‘‘stunning’” toilets. A dinner gown she wore this evening was of delicate canary moire antigue. The corsage was studded with scottea nails and a scroll pattern of jet ornamented the front of the full medish jupe. Mrs. Phceoe Hearst has arranged a pic- nic for to-morrow. About twenty-five young people willi accompany her and a most delightful time is anticipated. About twenty vehicles of different de- scriptions belonging to Walter S. Hobart arrived to-day. 'l‘ng‘m:nd drags of all sorts were represented. His coach for the coach- ing parade was also there. Besides the Hobart coach the Burlingame Club coach ;nd that of Charles O. Baldwin are also ere. The Campaign in Siskiyow. YREKA, Can, Aug. 24—A McKinley ~lub with a large membership was organ- ized 1n Yreka Saturday night. The cam- paign in this county promises to be an ex- citing one, and the Republicans are pre- paring by forming McKinley clubs all over the county. The Yreka club re- ceived the signatures of nearly every Re- publican in the precinct, together with many Democrats. Indications are that Siskiyon County will give a handsome ma- jority for the Republican ticket.
