Solar Eclipses snd the Disappointing Expedition to Japau. The Astronomical Society of the Pacific opened its doors to the public again last evening at the Academy of Sciences Hall, and the attendance was large. A. L. Colton of the Lick Observatery gave a historical review of eclipse ob- servations. His remarks were well illus- trated by stereopticon views. Professor Charles Burckhalter of the Chabot Observatory delivered an interest- ing address upon the Lick Observatory eclipse expedition to Japan. He accom- panied Professor Schaeberle to Akkeshi, Japan, to take photographs of the great ecl:pse of the sun that took place there on Augzust 9, 1896. He graphically deseribed the trip to the coast of Yezo and the pains the party took to get everything in.readi- ness sor the great event. The expedition was divided into four parties scattered over 100 miles along the line of the eclipse, but all were doomed to deep disappointment. On the day that the moon passed over the face of the sun a dense fog settl'd upon the land. * Dur- ing the remainder of the stay of the party every day was perfect. Before closing his address Professor Burckhalter described many scenes through which the party passed while in Japan, all of which were illustrated with bis lantern and slides.

Americans in Turkey Were Safe Every- where When the Stars and Stripes Were Unfurled. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 28.—Secre- tary Olney gave to the United Associated Presses to-day this statement: “The State Department authorizes the statement that the assertion made by Dr. Cyrus Hammlin that American women in Haskeni fled from massacre not finding protection under the American flag isan entire mistake: that the flag is neither furled nor insulted at that point nd that not an American man, woman or child was at Haskeui during the massacre. “Equally untounded is the statement recently made in Chickering Hall by Miss Dr. Frances Kimball that only the Eng- lish flag is respected in Turkey. During the massacre at Constantinople she hur- ried by other flags and found protection under her own flag and the escort of the American Consul- General. She passed through the streets where men were being k.lled by mobs and went safely under our flag up ‘the Bosphorus. Through scenes of mob violenee all over Turkey our flag and missionarizs have been protected by Turkish troops. ““We have lost by incendiary fires at but two- places, both far in the interior, the value being much less than the claims of England, France and Italy for monks and priests killed, churches burned, houses The Victor‘ious St. Matthew’s School Football Team of San Mateo, With Which Either the Oakland . or the San Francisco High School Team Will Contest for the State Academic Championship After.

The features of the game were the play- ihe of ‘Ghase of Cogswell, who though he had a sprained ankle madetwo longruns, one of 30°and one of 40 vards; the run- ming of Hubbard 4nd Hamilton of the Lick team, and the fine tackling of Jones and Fisber of Cogswell Colilege.

Twice in the first half Stockton High Schobl came very near scoring, but lost the ball on fumbles when close to San Mateo’s goal. ‘The two touchdowns that St. Matthew’s secured in that half were €ach made after beautiful long runs of about seventy yards, almost the entire credit for which is due Snitzer, the man who carried the ball. <One was made from a fumble secured from Stockton and the .other from a contemplated play. The men on both teams were very uncertain in holding the ball, particularly after they were tackled, and in the second half big Capain .Henion oi St. Matthew’s, wno played a star game, several times stole the ball from the arms of bis opponents. A feature of St. Matthew's game in the second half was Galvey’s well-executed quarterback kick out in front of Right End Womble, who made connections with the ball .on the run for a clean gain of eighteen yards. Of all the attempted quarterback kicks during several seasons, that one and the one by Benson to Captain Sherman of the California Varsity in the Thanksgiving match of 1894, stand out as raré éxceptions to general failures.

The playing of the San Francisco High School team was a surprise. The local boys proved themseives the equals in all departments of the game to their Oukland rivals, who were previously conced-d to have the advantage. In the first half the laying was -almost 8ntirely far down in gun Francisco’s territory after the kickoff, and at one time the Oaxland men lost the ball on a fumble when within three yards of goal. The whistle sounded with the San Francisco team working rapidiy across Oaklend's territory. In thesecond half the yniay and the course cf the bau were a repetition of the first half except that S8an Francisco was the one to ap- proach twice within a few feet of goal. But two punts were made in the whole same, and fumbles were frequent on both sides,.. For Lowe!l High School the two Bishop brothers, O'Connor, Varney and Chad- wick did very effective work, while for Qakland ' High Bchool Joe King, Steele, Chestnut and Nedderman were the more noticeable on their team for valuable pl;_yinz. 2 he San Francisco and Oakland High School teams decided alter the game to play off the tie next Saturday afternoon at Central Perk, Game will be called at 2 o’clock. The winning team will meet St. Matthew’s Schoot on the same ground on the following Baturday afternoon for what Is termed the academic championship of .the Btate. Cogswell College, however, would like to have a say before the teams constituting the acedemic lesgue shall have decided the State championship among themselves without trying conclu- sions with Cogswell, or-with the unusually fine Belmont School team, neither of which belongs to the league. Y. M.'C. A, champion lightweight TEN JAPANESE 10 BE CONFIRMED It Will Be the First Class of the Kind in 5 {America. Tke Religious Trials of a Brit- ish Sea Captain Will End To-Day. Handsome Gift of the Daughters of the Kinz to the Church of the Advent. There will occur at the Church of the Advent on Eleventh street to-day some- thing very much out of the common. In fact it is nothing less than the confirma- | tion of ten Japanese, the first class of the kind to be confirmed in America. Rev. Dr. John A. Emery, the rector of | the church, in speaking of the noteworthy incident last evening, said: “The idea of a Japanese Mission origi- nated partly with Rishop McKim and partly with Rev. Mr. Tai, one of the Jap- anese converts, who hasentered the priest- hood. “Mr. Tai belongs to the warrior class, which gave him quite a standing among his countrymen. He was so much of a speaker that Bishop McKim said be had seen 1000 men bang on bis words iu an ecstasy of appreciation. *He wanted to come to America to per- fect nimself 1n English and do something for his own countrymen, but though he has accomplished the latter desire he has had no time to_carry out his wish as re- gards learning English better. “Rev. Mr. Tai came here two vears ago and started this mission. Liftle more than a year ago he went back Eastand entered a theological seminary at Alexan- dria, Va. *His olace was taken by Rev. Mr., Mikarni, a deacon. The Japanese have their Mission bouse at 709 Geary street. Some two or three months ago Mr, Mikarni bronght down a Japanese to be baptized in the church. Now, a class of ten will be brought down for confirmation to-morrow. “He tells me the class will consist of ten at least, and possibly more. I have quite a large class of mv own. In ail there wili be between twenty-five and thirty con- tirmed to-morrow. “The ages of the Japanese vary from 20 t0 36 years. All of them seem very intel- ligent fellows. Some of them are now l!ke,nding the State Universiiy at Berke- ley.” Another feature of the exercises at Dr. Emery’s church to-day will be the con- firmation of the captain of a British ship now in the harbor. He has twice been prepared for confirmation 1z England and once in America, but in all three cases ha: had to sail shortly before the appointed time. At the services to-day, also, a hand- some brass ewer, to be used exclusively for carrying water to the font, will be seen in the church. It was just received from New York a few days ago, and is the gift of the Daughters of the King beiong- 1ng to the church. BOARD OF REGENTS. A Secretary to Bucceed the Late Dr, Bonte Will Very Soon Be Elected. The duty of electing a secretary of the Board of Regents of ihe Uni- versity of California to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Dr. Bonte, will devolve upon the regents. The choice will probably be made at the regular meeting of the board on the second Tuesday in December. There were a number of applicants in the field, Dr. W. C. Bartlett, formerly an editorial writer on the Bulletin, has de- veloped considerable strength as a candi- date, e Fell Off & Fred Miller, living at 820 Bryant avenue, fell off a Sixteenth-street electric-car about 7 o'clock last pight at Valencia street. He was picked up almost unconscious and taken to the City and County Hospiial, where it was found that he hed escaped with a few pruises. was an action against the trustees to quiet Ftitle. Mr. Wheeler filed a demurrer similar to one filed by him in the former case in order that the way for an appeal to the Supreme Court might be made clear. James 8. Angus was called to the stand and told about the making of the will by James G. Fair on September 1, 1894 It was sometime in the forenoon before Iunch. There were present when the will was signed Messrs. Hittell, McLaughlin, Bresse, the witness and the deceased. *“Was he of souad mind at the time he signed the will?’ asked William M. rier- son. Mr. Wheeler objected to the question as imoroper, and read several autliorities to the effect that the rule thatsanity must be presumed must bold in all cases, and that the burden of showing that the testator was insane alls upon the defendants. . Counsel argued that to go into any ques- tion of fraud or duress would be to antici- pate objections from the other side wuich might never arise 1 the case. i Judge Slack remarked that in some States 8 party is permitted to rely upon the presumption of sanity, but in a lar majority ot States it is not allowea to rely upon that presumption,*and they are oblig-d to offer some evidence to show the soundness of mind of the testator as well as of the execution of the will. Mr. McEnerney agreed with Judge Slack as to tue law. - Parties who count upon a will must comply with the law by showing its execution under the proper legal forms and by a person legally competent to make a will; that is, a person of 21 years ofage or over and of sound mind may make a will. A. Van R. Paterson did not think that the plaintiff’s attorney had any right to interrupt them in their examination of the witness. The court overruled the objection and directed the witness to answer. The wit- ness replied that the deceased was of sound mind, and between 62nd 63 years oi age. The record of the Probate Court as to ‘the sanity of the deceased and the probate of the will was introduced in evidence. The depositions of the other witnesses to the will were read by Mr. Wheeler, and the case was submitted to the court. Judge Slack thereupon gave judgment in favor of the plaintiffs. This is in ac- cord with the decision rendered by him some time ago to the effect that the trust was invalid. The case will be appealed to the Su- preme Court, Judee Paterson was allowed $5000 coun- ;el‘ fees for services on behaif of the minor eirs. LIFE-SAVING SERVIOE. Major Blakeney Arranging to Secure Early News of Shipwrecks. In consequence of the several ship- wrecks along the coast recently, Major T. J. Blakeney of the Life-saving Bervice is sending out reguests to all points to have information of wrecks and disasters for- warded to him as quickly as possible. He said if he bad been informed of the wreck of the San Benito as soon as it took place he would bave sent a crew from this City on a tugto the scene of the wreck. By starting on Sunday morning the crew, with its apparatus, could have reached the wreck by nightiall and saved the poor fellows in the rigging from at least twelve or fourteen hours’ suffering. Although the place is 100 miles distant, the southeast gaie would have helped the tugin its ran up the coast. Major Blake- ney bas sent to all the places in this vi- cinity where telephones are placed the fol- lowing notice: Please promptly notily of wreck or other disaster T. J.

James W. Erwin of this City is preparing an 77 pillaged, and for which no indemnity has been paid. Every peaceful American arrested or detained has been released on demand of the American Minister. These demonstrations of revelutionists in Tur- key are now our chief danger so far as our missionaries are concerned.” This departure from the recent course practiced by the department in reference to Turkish, Cuban and Venezuelan matters, togetber with the fact that only yesterday several cablegrams from Minister Terreil at Constantinople were made publie, em- phasizes the opinion prevailing in official circles here tlrat the relations prevailing between the United States and Turkey are receiving considerable attention from the administration, and it is thought many long standing causes of friction be- tween the two countries are in course of |* settlement. — ———— Found a Decapitated Body.
