B. Bibb Lumber Company. The former concern was in the habit of paying the longshoremen 30 cents an hour for ten hours’ work, but when the latter firm took control the rate was cut to 20 cents. Yesterday the schooner Sadie and the steamer Empire began discharging at section 1 of the seawall. When the men learned of the cut they all struck and the schooner was practically tied up. The steamer put the crew at work, and with her steam winches managed to get nearly all her cargo ashore. The Sadie was idle all day, as all the men who could be got to work did not move over a few thousand feet of lumber. All the Bibb Company’s boats will be boycotted in future, and unless the ola rate of 30 cents an hour is restored the strike is likely to spread to other lines of coasters which have given notice of a win- ter reduction. The Bibb Company aseerts that it is making no money, owing to slack busi- ness and low rates. ' If it comes to a ques- tion of paying 30 cents an hour for dis- charging, the Empire, Sadie and other vessels will be iaid up for the winter. The men say that the vessels are all paying, and that the cry of dull times isonly an excuse to cut wages. Among the arrivals yesterday were the barkentine City of Pupeete, from Tahiti.

MIDWEEK THEATER NOTES “As You Like It” Will Be Given at the Baldwin To-Night. Success of .the Tivoli Bicycling Night — Benefit at the Alcazar. It is said that the Tabers were anxious to receive San Franecisco’s veraict on “Romola.”’ If so the rows of empty benches at the Baldwin have spoken more eloquently than words. They may take it for granted that no amount of good acting can save “‘Romola.” As adrama it is hope- less, and the best thing the Tabers can do is 10 consign it to the study, where George Eliot’s novels properly belong. “As You Like It” will be presented this eve ning, and in all probability will mark the reaFopzning of the Tabers’ season. A very good performance of “The Ugly Duckling” is being given at the Alcazar. The play is interesting and the strone dramatic situations are made much of by the company. John T. Sullivan as Count Maletesta and Miss May Buckley as The Ugly Duckling shsre the nonor~, but Carl Smith, J. B. Polk, Frank Dosne and Mrs, F. M. Bates are doing excellent work. The Catnolic Ladies’ Aid Society No. 2 will be tendered a benefit at the Alcazar this evening. Florence Bindley's “Pay Train” is doing a large business at the Grand. The piece is very haudsome!y staged, and the company at the Grand are doing it full justice. Bicyelists and their friends filled the Tivoli Opers-house last night. The gallerles were prettily draped with flags, and a number of 'gags’ touching local bicyeling matters were iutroduced by Ferris Hartman. The chorus of bicyeling girls was especiaily applauded. Every one considered the Ca.ifornia Asso- ciated Cycling Clubs’ evening had been & com- plete success. “Town Topics,” which is holding down the Columbia Theater this woek, is & string of variety “turns” held together by & plot which is elmost too gauzy to be apuerent. Most of the jokes merit the respect due Lo old age, al- though 1t is but fair to0 add that the audience hail them with hiirity. Sume of the “turns” are very far from what one would expect to find in & theater sacred to the memory of the polite, well-dressed, well-bred Frawleys.

Religious Bigotry and Intoler- ance Divide the People Into Factions. PERSECUTION IN AMERICA. Corruption Undermining Our Free Institutions and Enslaving the People. A large audience gathered at Metro- politan Temple last evening to hear Rev. T. Caraher’s lecture on ‘“Dangers to the Republie.” The lecture was given under the auspiees of Bermingham Couucil No. 59, Y. M. L, the proceeds to go to the benefit of the Presentation Convent. Frank J. Bullivan, in his remarks as chairman of the evening, gave a history of the foundation of the order of nuns who conduct Presentation Convent. He stated that no less than 20,000 pupils have been educated by these good sisters in this City alone. After an organ solo by Miss Georgiana and a song by W. J. Hynes, Father Caraber was introduced. He said in part: Shortsighted indeed must be the man who does not see dangers threatening this Republic, and be is unpatriotic 1f he does not point them out. I perceive these perils and feel that I snould sound the sienal of alarm,forIallow no living man to surpass me in love for this country. While I love the land that gave me birth, I am ready to stand or fall with the Re- public of Wash:ngton. The firsi danger threatening this country is religious bigotry and intolerance. Although the Declaration of Independence makesno par- ticular allusion to religious liberty, yet free- dom to worship and religious tolerance spring naturally from its principles. The constitution expressly forebade the making ol & man’s religion a test of his fitness for office. George Washington frowned down all such attempts and occasionally worshiped in Catholic churches. In the face of such an example we have since had frequent examples of religious bigotry. The persons and prop- erty of Catholics have been frequently violated. At the instance of Rev. Lyman Beecher the Ursu.ine Convent was burned by a fanatical mob. Thisis a stain npon America. In the days of Know Nothingism the streets of some Eastern cities ran red with Catholic biood. Within the last few years frequent attempts have been made to revive the doings of those day¥. 1shree years ago 3000 A. P. A.’s, headed by the Mayor of Toledo, Ohio, were actually awaiting the signal to slaughter their Catholic fellow-citizens. 1t would seem that the Catholics of that city should have been able to cope with that force, but they were unpre- pared and unaweare. Again, the police iorce and military, under the command of the Mayor, were ready 1o aid the A. P. A’S. Recently in this State endeavors have been made to rouse the rassions of the inflamma- tory A. P. A’s against the Catholics. If reli- gious riots have not taken place in this City it 15 not the fault of Drs. Case, Goodwin, Dille and Bovard. This b.zutr{ strikes at the foundation of the Republic, for it makes possible a religious war. Even if that should not take place it keops many of the people divided into two hostile camps, and & house divided is weakened against & toreign foe, 1 wish here to warn all Americans against the intrigui’g policy of England and her Ju- das Chamberlain, There has been no oue deeper implicated in the Armenian massacres than he. The very agents that Chamberlain is using to keep Ireland diyided and from guining her independence are being employed here 10 disrupt this Republic, Tfiay are the Orangemen and their kindred, I wish also to ask Americans to frown down in the future every manifestation of religious bigotry. Coming generations tmplore us not to hand down to them the heritage of religious dissention. The next danger is that of politieal corrup- tion. I see that the letter of Archbishop Ire- land hes drawn dewn on bim much abuse. Had he known the nature of that sbuse he would probably have hesitated. I see that he 'was assailed by a Dr. Derrick—whether a horse doctor or a chiropodist Idon’t know. Arch- biskop Ireland is the peer of any man in this State to-day. Our political system here is deeply tainted. Our primuries have become a disgraceful by- word. Respectable citizens stay awey from them and leave them to the control of the dis- reputeble politicians. The conventions foist candidates upon the public who are not fit to hold a plow, mucn less an office. Before the adoption of the Australian bal- lot system our elections were foul, drunken orgies. The polls were controlled by unjailed feions and some of the voters were sure o be beaten by paid bullies. But the Australian ballot does not secure the desired effect. It is 100 complicated. Corrupt politicians have got around the ballot. By means of a corrupt board on the inside and intriguers on the outside the will of the people is defeated. Within a few years an organization has sprung up to fumigate the polis—the Ameri- can Protective Association. 1tsprimary object is the total extinetion of Catholics. Its second object is to purify polities. Itsleaders are among the greatest criminals t! tion to-day. They are stemmirg the tide o corruption by selling their votes to the high- est bidder. The citizen who sells his vote should be dis- _| above Davis’ store, and the reason why he franchised, and he who buys it should be forever debarred from office. The corporation that dares to interfere in politics should be dissolved by an angry people, and the million- aire who opens his money bags at election time should have his prooerty confisoated. Although the people let this wrongdoing go on for awhile they eventually rise in their might and stamp 1t out. “In God We Trust” is our National motto, and with the assistance of the Almighty the safety and perpetuity of the Republic is asssured. WHY HE WAS STRUCK Aftermath of the Fracas in George Davis’ Fruitstore on Leéaven- worth Street. The fracas at the fruitstore of George Davis, 220} Leavenworth street, Tuesday night, when a revolver was discharged, has led to serious trouble for Davis. Yesterday morning Mrs. Katharina Cofiits, 220 Leavenworth street, swore to a complaint in Judge Jeachimsen's court for the arrest of Davis on acharge of of- fensive conduct toward Edna Kelly, a little girl 5 years of age. Davis was ar- rested and booked at the City Prison, and a few hours later another charge of ex- hibiting a deadly weapon was registered against him. The man whe struck Davis Tuesday night was William Barrett, who lives struck was because of his off-nsive con- duct toward the little girl, who is Bar- rett’s niece. Barrett was arrested on a complaint sworn to by Davis charging him with bat- tery and was released on bail. Barrett will this morning swear to acomplaint charging Davis with assanlt with a deadly weapon, as he says he can prove that Davis’ revolver was not nccidenullf,dls- charged, but on the contrary that Davis fired the shot at him. BEGRGMNEE THE BOMRD Request of the People’s Home Bank Depositors to the Commissioners. Directors Who Have No Tnterest in the Wrecked Concern Will Be Asked to Resign. Since the court hasnot granted the re- lief asked by the associated depositors of the People’s Home Savings Bank an ef- tort has been made to reorganize the board of directors of that institution. Some directors who have no interest in the bank have determined to resign and | thus be rid of the many annoyances nao—l ciated with their office. They are slow, however, in carrying their determination into effect, and for that reason the at- torneys, Messrs. Gunnison, Booth and Bartnett, representing depositors, have sent the following letter to the Bank Com- missioners requesting them 10 reorganize the bank’s directory: To the Honorable the Board of Bank Commis- sioners of the State of Calijornia, San Francisco, | al.—GENTLEM. We inclose you herewith | the opinion of the Hon.J. M. Seawell, Judye | of our Superior Court, in the proceeding brought by the California Safe Deposit aad Trust Company against 8. K. Thornton AndI others, the PAAd proceeding having been in- | stituted in that certain sction entitled the | People of the State of Calilornia, etc., vs. the | People’s Home Savings Bank. | The opinion, while not approving certain of | the acts of the mansger and officers of said | bank, nevertheless isjadverse to the conten- | tions'made by us. At tbe closeof theargu- ment of Mr. Carpenter, the counsel for de- fendants in this proceeding, he made the statement to the court that certain of his cli- ents, who were defendants in this action, had no interest in the bauk and intended to resign from the directory, but that they did not deem it judicious to retire in the face of these pro- ceedings. We have had the promise of at least | ‘one of your honosable Commissioners that an effort would be made to reorganize the direc- tory of said bank in such a way as togive the depositors a representation on ine board. We areof the opinion that such a step would be in the interest of all interested in said bank, We therefore respectfuily direct the atten- tion of your honorab.e boara to this matter, | and ask that you give it such attention as in your opinion the importanceof the matter demands. Respectiuily submitied, GUNNISON, BOOTH & BARTNETT, Attorneys for the California Safe Deposit and Trust Company. The ‘attorneys take a cheerful yiew of the situation and say that one Commis- sioner promised to reorganize the People’s | Bank management so that depositors would have a representation on the board of directors. This desired change would place the bank’s affairs in control of men whose money is at stake. Great expectations are held by the ex- ecutive committee of the depositors that a Jdividend of 15 or 20 per cent will be de- | clared next January, provided that the | Los Angeles street railways are purchased | by the English syndicate reipruemed by Charles Butters. The bank is heavily in- terested in bonds of these consolidated lines. B Debate Upon the New Charter. A debate upon the new charter has been ar- ranged to take place next Monday evering at Turn Verein Hall, 323 Turk street. Professor HenrySenger of the University of Calitornia has copnsented to preside, and F. W. Dobr- mann, president of the Merchants' Association, will spesk upon the affirmative, and Emil | Liess, pt.ilwr o‘;olho Tageblatt, will nk n% the negative. As both parties aze thoroughly | conversant with all the provisions of the new charter it is expected that the debate will prove interesting and instructive. e Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. MOLLER WAS NOT LEGALLY QUSTED An Important [Decision by the Treasury De- partment. The Relations Between Masters and Owners of Vessels Defined. COLLECTOR WISE REVERSED, Trouble - Among Those Interested in the Mount Eden Leads to Inter- esting Results, Collector of the Port Wise has just re- ceived from the Treasury Department a decision in a case recently submitted to the Washington authorities which will be of great interest to ship-owners and the masters of vessels, touching as it does the business status of the two when the masters are part owners of the vessels under their command. F. H. J. Petermann and Nicolai Moller are each half-owners in the steamer Mount Eden, the former as managing owner and the latter as master. Some months ago they quarreled and Peter- mann as managing owner dismissed Mol- ler and appointed Richard E. Barron in his place. Moller appealed the matter to the Col- lector of the Port, and Mr. Wise decided that Petermann had kept within his rights, and was justified from a legal point of view in dismissing Moiler. - The latter entered a formal protest against the action and lodged it with the Collector, who sent it to Washington. The result fwas the following opinion, which is final unless the matter is taken into court: OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, Washington, D. C., Oct. 10, 1896. Collector of Customs, San Francisco, Cab,—Sir: This Department isin recelpt of your letter dated the 2d inst., transmitting a_protest by Nicolai Moller against the action of your office in allowing change of master of the steamer Mount Edeun. F. H.J. Petermann andj Nicolal Moller are hali-owners of the steamer, Petermann being named in the outstanding papers as managing owner. Toe laiter filed a written notice that he had I]Lpoih ted Richard E. Barron as master in place ©f Nicolai Moller. Barron took the oath, and you indorsed his name as master. Moller claims, in his written protest, that he Was not aware a chenge was being made; that you had no authority “to meake & change’; that heand Petermann had agreed thatthe latter should attend to the shore business and Moller be master, and that he served as such (romt.)nly 1,1893, to the time of his displace- ment. The department notes your statement that if the complainant had filed protest prior to the change being made, or if he had served written notice on your office not to make the change, it would not have been made unless you had been otherwise instructed; that your office cannot know of personal difficulties be- tween owners of vessels, and can act in such cases ouly as the managing owner requests, without regard to private agreements existing between the various owners of the vessel, and you report, therefore, that you cannot see that your office acted in any manner contrary to “law, justice and egufly." Prior to April, 1872, a master could be dis- possessed under’ the circamstances of the present case, except by due process of law, and the act of Congress of that date merely authorized such dispossession by a majority of the owners, and not then if there was an agreement dated prior to April 19, 1872, by virtue of which he had possession as part owner, unless by action of a court of compe- tent jurisdiction. The department holds that Moller was not lawfully dispossessed; that on the presenta- tion of the vesse.’s documents he should be permitted to take the requisite oath, and that thereupon the change shouid be indorsea by the customs officers, &9 th: law and regula- tions prescribe (section 4171, R. 8.). Any de- cree of a competent court, however, should be duly observed. Please take action accordingly. Respectfully yours, 8. WIKE, Assistant Secretary. SHARKEY’S PRESENT.
