Batteries Will Command Raccoon {traits to Protect Mare Is!and Navy-Yard. Renewed Activity on Defensive Work. Exterior Lines Extended to Point Boaita. Under direction of engineer officers a large force of men is now engaged in the work of fortifying the harbor of San Fran- cisco. No greater activity has been mani- fested since the board of fortification adopted the general plan of defense. The most activity is displayed at Fort Point where the 10-inch guns are to be placed in position on disappearing carriages. Em- placements for other heavy rfles are be- ing constructed there. It is understood that additional 12-mch nfles will be mounted still further out. At Lime Point, on the Marin side of the channel, there are two 12-inch rifles—one in position ana the otner on the ground. The engineers have determined to build two more forts near Point Bonita. Tue plan adopted by the board of fortifications is known only to the Secretary of War, the general of the army and the engineers, but the recent examination of the ground near Point Bonita by General Forsythand Major Davis and Lieutenant Potter of the Engineer Corps indicates that work will soon begin in that vicinity. Army officers familiar ‘with the work already done here, d the progress of similar work on the Atlantic coast, express the opinion that San Francisco is in bet- ter shape to resist attack from the ocean than any other city on the continent. The batteries on either side of the channel at the entrance to the Golden Gate consist of powerful guns, of ten anl tweive inch cal- iber. Added to these are the ritled moni- tors and Jdynamite guns. It is now known that the Board of Forti- fications will render the harbor doubly secure by fortifying an interior line. The heaviest rifled guns will be placed in posi- tion at Alcatraz lsiand, Angel Isiand and Fort Mason. The scheme may also in- clude the building of a fort on Goat Island. It is remotely possible, but not proba- ble, that some resolute admiral of the Farragut and Nelson type might, in a gen- eral atiack, get one ship through the Golden Gate_and 1nto the harbor of San Francisco. To prevent a hostile ship in such position irom doing incalcuiable damage the guns of the interior line of forts would be used. Angel Isiand bat- teries should command Raccoon Straits | ful. and stop a raid on Mare Island Navy Yard and Benicia Arsenal. Heavy guns at Alcatraz and Black Point should take care of a hostile ship on this side of the bay. The heavy batteries of the Third Artil- lery stationed at Angel Island, Alcatraz and Fort Mason will drill at the 12-inch rifles and the 12-inch rifled mortars on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week, and on the same days next week. The steamer General McDowell will carry the troops from the 1siand posts to the Presidio and return.

General Forsyth, department comman- der, in circular No. 14 commends the pro- | gramme of lyceum instruction at Alcatraz Island during the ensuing season. The programme is submitted by Captain Ches- ter, Third Artillery, commanding officer of that post. Aside from the recitations embracing many problems, there will be seven essays as follows: March 2, 1897—Captain Chester: “Plan for the defense of the hearbor and city of Pensa- cola against an attack by eight armored ves- selsof the class of H. M. 8. Majestic, accom- panied by efght torpedo-boats and the usual | complement of torpedo-boet catchers and other necessary vessels.” A general presentas tion of the subject. March 9, 1897 — Captain Hess: ‘“Some thoughts on practical education in the arm March “ 16, 1897—Lieutenant Randoip *‘The tion.” March 23, 1897—Lieutenant Ludlow: causes of jump.” March 30, 1897—Lieutenant Rumbough: “The defense of San Francisco Bay againsta naval attack.” April 5, 1897—Lieutensni Haan: “Direct and indirect fire with modern guas in time of war.” April 12, 1897—Lieutenant Ames of three arms in attack and defense. Furloughs have been granted 1o Fred G. Friegel, Light Battery C, Third Artillery, and Jerry O'Leary, Company B, First Infantry. Troopers of the Fourth ClVaI? are glad enouzh to get home to the Presidio for the winter. The bar at the Post Exchange has been extended so that forty men can line 1 up at one time. Now thutthere are twelva companies at the post the exchange does a thriving business. The Army and Nnv¥ Journal has this paragraph: “Captain Frank Thorp and Light Battery D, Fifth Artillery, fresh from California, presented a handsome appearance in New York City on Novem- ber 25 Evacuation day, when the battery varaded with the Old Guard and fired a salute.” ROSEWATER SERMONS. Dr. Case Thinks That Kind of Discours, Has No Force. At the Howard-street Methodist Church Dr. W. W. Case preached a sermon last evening upon the subject of ‘“Religious Controversy,” in which he emphatically advocated controversy as needful for the conviction of error and the finding of truvh, He took for his text, “Earnestly Con- tend for the Faith Once Delivered to tue Saints,” and in explaining its bearing upon controversy said: ‘'‘Is Christ our model? Then are we weak and unfaith- Christ wasa controversialist. He contended against every form of error and iniquity. His love was wonderiul, and while no oue ever showed such pity for the suffsring and sin ul, he ofien used words of the severest congsemnalion to those who propagated error. “Jesus inviied discnssion, but most preachers of to-day avoia it. Modern rosewater sermons have no power over the present sia‘e of the fortification ques- “The 2 “The use thought and conscience of the people. They bear no resemblance to the preach- ing of Christ and the Aposties. They used tke truth, however sharpand catting, but in the hands of many of the preachers of to-day there is no sword, but only a i G D Smith, Seattle lume or a feather. The sword seems to | but little used in the modern pulpit. Preachers try to be poetical, rhetorical, oratorical, historical, metaphorical; they study expression, gesture, tone, emphasis, but where is the sharp’'sword of the spirit? Where is the mettled and ani- mated Sadducee? Where is the fierce Pbarisee? They are nowhere. There are vlenty of churehes where Satan can go to sleep in the andience, with nothing in the service to disturb or alarm him. The divine carpenter and the lowly fisnermen are models no longer. ‘We must contend for the great facts and.doctrines of the Bible; for purity of doctrine—not in bitterness, but with fidelity to the truth. Jesus settled his antagonist so that no man durst ask bim any more questions. Paul was heroic be- fore Felix.” The grcat Krench preacher, Massillon, did not hesitate to rebuke the King and the ladies of the court. The times call for a herbic puipit and for a strong laity.” Sl e THE BIBLE AT HOME. Spalding Urges Parents to Teach It to Their Children. At St. John’s Episcopal Church yester- day morning, R-v. Dr. Spalding preached from the text, Romans, 15:4: *“Whatso- ever things ‘were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we, through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.” The speaker directed attention to the frequency with which Christ in his teach- ings referred to the Scriptures and ob- served in this connection that weof the Christian era had reason to thank God for the New as well as the O!d Testament, which latier was all the world nossessed at one time, He spoke of the Bibleasa study in the history of antiquity, in polit- ical economy, in ‘poetry, philology and history. These things, however, were not what it really aimed to teach us. ‘‘Rather was it so written,” said the speaker, *‘to teach us of the hope of a better land, where there shall be no more misunderstanding, no more sorrow, pain or sickness, and of the master’s outstretched hands. It tells of a just God, who often tries us, but for our own good. It teaches us faith througn the story of Abraham’s life and many other lessons from the characters pictured in it.” Dr. Spalding urged his hearers Dr. to read and stuay it more and counseled parents to familiarize their children with its literary excellence and its unique coue of ethics., HOTEL ARRIVALS.
