Called the Chief Oificer Names and Abused the Police 0 ficers. The Oil Stcamer G:orge Loomis Is S1id to B: the Most Perfect of Her Class Afloat. The tank steamer George Loomis arrivad from Ventura yesterday and anchored off Melggs wharf. This 1s the first time in three months that she has failed to go direct to the oil works, and there was some comment over the fact, but the matter was easily explained when it was learned that the vessel was going to Oak- 1and to discharge her cargo. Beveral vessels were in the oil trade be- fore the George Loomis was built, but all of them came toa sudden end. “Spon- taneous combustion” was the verdict, and asno lives were lost there was very little comment over the burning of the vessels. The Loomis is especially adapted to the trade. She has been built with all the modern appliances and every safeguard called for has been put aboard. The oil tanks are hermetically sealed and the connactions between them and the engine- room are bulkheaded. Any lesk in the tanks is carried into the scuppers and it would only be by the remotest chance that any of the overflow would cause damage. The vessel is a good sea boat, and has aiways made good time between here and the oil fields. Frank Lemmons, a runner for the Cali- fornia Hotel, had & bad gquarter of an heur on board the steamer Oakiand yes- terday. He paid his way across the bay, and on the return trip began to ‘‘work the passengers.” The name of the hotel car- ried weight and he did well until Chief Ofticer Higignson of the steamer put in an appearance. The latter pointed out that Lemmons w breaking the law which prohibits soliciting on ferry-boats, and then the trouble began. Lemmons ot abusive, and Higginson was only pre- vented from active hostilities by the in- tervention of the second mate and two of the deckhands. When the Oakland reached San Francisco Officer Charles Callaghan was called in and Lemmons was placed under arrest on a charge of disturbing the peace and vulgar Jangunge. The people Lemmons was particularly anxious to secure were the members of the French opera company, and it was some of these who made the complaint to the police: The cashier of the White Houss will be one of the witnesses against Lemmons when tie case is called in court to-day. George Fritch, the well-known coal mer- chant, came down from Coquille River on the steam schooner Albion yesterday. He had to be carried ashore and wascom- velled to move along on crutches to the waiting carriage. While visiting the mines he made a false step and fell about thirty feet. The result was asprained ankle, which will probably keep him in bed for several weeks, Mr. Fritch isone of the most popular men on the water | front, and his many friends were in evi- dence around the office on East street yes- terday. The British ship Blairgowrie, which left here on December 2 with a cargo of wheat, has made the banner run of the vear. Her sister ship, the Blairhoyle, which left here on December 5, was beaten by two y So both must have encountered favorable winds. The two vessels sailed from this port for Sydney, N. 8. W., and in a private letter to a friend in this City the captain of the Blairgowrie said that he never had a vo agein which the circumstances were so vorable. In the meantime the Blair- more, a sister. ship to the two named, is tied up in Oakland Creek awaiting the decision of the Board of Underwriters. Since she was raised from the depihs of Mission Bay the Blairmore has not earnea a cent of money for ber owners, whiia the Blairgowrie and Blairhoyle making quick passages and money for their owners. The latter vessel was ioaded with flour, and as both wheat and flour were in demand in New South Wales the shippers did even better than the owners of the vessels. Tre tug Golden Gate is again in com- mission. She was cut in two some months ago and lengthened tweniy-five feet. 8he is now a very handsome boa®and will go into the general tugboat business. When there is very little doing she will go out with the fishing fleet and will bring in the catch of the sailing boais in Drake’s Bay and nearby points. The Alaska Commercial Company’s Karluk is having a foremast put in at Main street, and the Martha W. Tuits is discharging cedar logs at Spear sireet. The schooner Lily L, that was brought over from Oakland Creek to fit out for an- other hunting cruise, will not go commission. She will probably go back to her old sncnorage {o-morrow, as the charterers do not think the prospects war- rant the expenditure of the money 1t would cost to fit her out. ‘The tugboat men are wroth with the observers at Point Reyes. They say that time and again they have been fooied on information sent from that point, and are now determined to enter a vigorous pro- test. Monday last a “‘square rigger'’ was reported *bound south,” ana the “red stack’’ company sent out the SBea Witch and the “black stacks’” the Active. After a twenty-five-mile chase the tuzboat men discovered that the *'square rigger’” was of the Seas, bound for Puget ence the trouble. the Glor Sound. POLICE PROMOTIONS. rgeant Gleeson, Assisted by Corporal Adams. Will Huve Charge of the License Department. The Police Commissioners met last night to select a successor to the late Ser- geant Thomas D. McKenna to take charge of the liquor-license department. Corporal Henry Gleeson was promoted to fill the vacancy and it was generally conceded that no better selection could bave been made. He joined the force on September 8, 1888, and in May, 1893, he was assigned to the liquor-license depart- ment as assistant to Sergeant McKenna. He was made a corporal on December 1, 1895. His four years’ service in the license de- partment has made him thoroughly familiar with the requirements of the office and he is in every way compeient to perform the duties devolving upon him. His manners are genial, one of the most essential requirements for the position, and he has made many friends both in and out of the department. The appoint- ment will meet with the approval of his brother officers. Policeman John S. Adams was promoted to be corporal and will perform the duties of assistant to Sergeant Gleeson. Adams joined the force on December 21, 1881, and bears the reputation of a brave and efficient officer. .

Father McFalden. The History of the System of Cozrcion | es Practiced by the Dominant Partner. | Rev. James McFadden, ‘‘the patriot priest of Gweedore,” made hisdebut before | 2 San Francisco audience et Metropolitan Hall last night, when he delivered an in- teresting and eloquent address on the | subject of Ireland and her wrongs. The hall, very appropriately decorated for the occasion, was well filled, and the enthusiasm evoked by the speaker’s forci- ble periods was general and spontaneous. The platform was shared by the orator of the evening, the chairman, Jeremiah Deasy, and many well-known s tives of the local priesthood. Several spirited selections by the Sacred | Heart Coliege band opened the proceed- | ings. Mr. Deasy in a brief introductory aa- | dress said that they were there assembled that evening to show tbeir appreciation for a patriotic Irish priest, Rev. Father MacFdden, who during the lana league | troubles in Ireland was several times im- | prisoned by the English Government for | Lis opposition to oppressive measures. But imprisonment was no badge of ignominy in those days, when among other patriots who shared the fate of Father McFadden was one of the great- | est of Ireland’s sons—Charles Stewart Parnell. The following musical selections, which wera encored almost without excepiion, | preceded the aelivery of Father Mc- Fadden’s address: Song, “Oh, Where’s the Slave So Lowly” Moore), Mr.'Wood urns; fancy dance, prano solo, Miss N selections, mandolin club. the Mi-ses the Misses Johnson, the Misses Devlin s Mamie Grennau; selections, Sacred e bard; fancy dance, Master Ar- u, Miss Anna Daly; song, fiss Alicia Nolan: so- and M Heart Co! nold Grazer; recital Mr. Madden; “God Save Ireland,” audience, | nding. Father McFadden was enthusiastically applauded on rising. ** ‘Let cravens crawl and tyrants hiss,’ e quoted, ** ‘and foes look on delignted; to one ana ali I would righted.” “Ladies and gentlemen,” said he, *‘the Almighty never intended the union of Ireland and England, otherwise he would | never bave created the Irish Sea between. | [Laughter.] Asitissaid ina different con- nection, ‘Wnat God has joined iet no man separate,’ so we may s«ay in this case, | ‘What God has separated lst no man oin.” ! ““The first invasion of England was sus- | tained by violence, and ever since she has | heid her sway by brute force. England has distinguished herself among nations by perpetnally annexing to her dominions places that are weak and incapable of con- ducting a war against ber. ““When she entered the field against the United States, we know how very rapidly she had to climb down, and now she kow- tows to you in order that no warlike un- dertakings may be threatensd against ber." He argued that the racial differences be- tween the two nations made union Impos- sible. The history of England’s rule of Ireland was a history written in tears and blood. Ever since the so-called union se- cured by bribery and corruption Englaud had not dealt with Ireland constitution- aily, but had maintained her power at the point of the bayonet. Nearly wvery year of the ninety years which had elapsed since the union had seen the enactment of some coercive measure. Under Balfour and the last Tory administration ine con- ditions were such that no man dared make known his views concerning the re- lations between landlord and tenant. The speaker described the conditions existing when he joined tho parish of Gweedore. He made a determined stand against the tyranuy of the landlords and did his best to intervene between the lat- ter and their tenants. But in spite of famine and penury the landlords invari- ably refused to ubate a penny off their claims - for judvment. This agrarian struggle finally resulted in partial inde- pendence and now they were in a position to dictate terms to the landlord. [Cheers.] The speaker aroused considerable in- terest and amusement by his recital of the facts leading up to his own arrest and imprisonment. The jail in which the speaker was con- fined measured 7 feet wide and 9 feet long and resembled & tunnel with an arched roof. He was arrested again soon after his re- lease. The officer intrusted with the exe- cution of the warrant swore that he would take McFadden at 4 o'clock, dead or alive. Before 4 o’clock McFadden was arrested alive, but the officer was dead, the victim of the fury of the priest’s parishioners, who thougat that he sought to injure McFadden physically. In conclusion tne speaker deccribed the system of terrorism invented by the Gov- ernment, the packing and bribing of juries | vocal solo, Miss Mamie | C. Kirby; vocal soio, J. Mc- | and the subornation of witnesses.” The restoration of the Liveral administration bad brought about amelioration, and now comparative peacs and prosperity reigned at Gweedore. LE ROY HARVEY'S DEAL. Mrs Emily A. P. Smith Compromises * & Suit for $6760 With the Grangers’ Bank. The suit of the Grangers’ Bank of Cali- fornia against Emily A. P. Smith for $6760 has been dismissed. It is unaerstood that a compromise was reached. When the cace was called for trial in Judge Bahrs' court both sides answerad | ready and one whole day was devoted to the taking of testimony. The pleadings were in themselves quite interesting. Mrs. Smith in her answer denied that | she by her agent, Le Roy G. Harvey, or | otherwise or at all made or executed or | delivered to the plaintiff or to any one | any such note as is set forth in the com- | plaint. | The complaint showed that the notes | were signed “Emily A P. Smith, per Le Roy G. Harvey, attorney in fact.” Con- | | cerning this Mrs. Smith, the defendant, | said: | The said defendant is furiher informed ena | verily believes, and upon and according to her | information and belief avers, cne Le Roy G. Harvey exccuted and delivered to the pleintiff herein that ceriain paper, writing or nole | alleged in the complaint, but that it was | made and delivored withont her authority, consent or knowledge, and was without s ny consideration whatever, ss the bank thin and there well knew, and she verily belleves that the bank at all times was and is the true payee and the real party in interest, for whose benefit the note was made. The notes were drawn in favor of the cashier of the bank and were by him in- dorsed and made pav.ble to the ban From the trend of the first day’'s tesui- mony it became clear that Mrs. Smith would iryto prove that the notes were made by Harvey to settle his personal in- debtedness to the bank and that they knew she was not a party in interest. Not- withstanding these facts a valuable piece of real estate at the northeast corner of Jackson and Webster streets, in this City, belonging to Mrs. Smith and ber daugh: ter, Maude A, Smith, was attached by the Sheriff by direction of the bank. SIERP FOLLOWS DURRANT. The Latter's Ce!lmate Will Go to San Quentin for Twenty-Five Yoars. Acain has the Supreme Court distin- guished itself and again does discomfort | reign in the celimate of Theodore Dur- rant. This time the decision of the lower courtin the case of William Sierp, Dur- | rant’s celimate, is affirmed, and he will go 10 San Quentin for iwenty-five years for murder in the second degree. The crime for which Sierp will pay this penalty is the murder of Manuel Moreno, an Italian fruitvender, whom the con- victed man shot and stabbed in Hinckiey alley. | His attorneys appealed the case upon | the ground that certain evidence was ad- | mitted in the form of a deposition, thedy- | ing statement of the murdered man. They | took the position that the State law does not admit the introduction of a deposition in a murder case. The Supreme Court thought otherwise, as it was made in the shadow of impending death. This decision leaves Durrant without a celimate. To Sierp Darrant isa famous per-onage. and the two men have grown | to be fast friends. Durrant’s friendship is, in part, due to the fact that Sierp does most of the housework and other similar favors. — e e A PAULIST FATHER SPOKE. Betrayal of Christ Discussed by Rev.

During his discourse and in substance he said A week ago we watched in spirit tho agony of Jesus Christ. We saw him prone upon the ground beneath the olives of Gethsemane. We beheld his dejection, his sorrow, his an- i of soul, his utter abandonment, We eard his prayer that if it were possible his chalice of bitterness might passaway from him, but we knew that it wi that had made that chalice bitter, knew that he suffered for our transgressions. We saw him atoning by his obedience for gur many disobediences. We trembled as we beheld him draining that cup to the very last drop. While his soul seemed breaking from his body, while we almost feared to look upon him in his unspeakable misery, we beheld him shining in the ruby brightness'of his precious Dblood and an angel from heaven :trengthen- ing him. o-night in the same garden we shall wit- ness his betrayal.

Judias Tscariot has been bought. His avarice has betrayed him. For sordid gain he has sold his friend, his master, his God, even his own immortal soul. e Vodrae Held for Trial. Dennis Vodrae, the quartermaster of the steamer Acapulco, who was detected trying to smuggle twenty-eight tins of opium into this port in the false bottom of his trunk, was held ior trial by United States Commissioner Hea- cock yesterday in $1000 bonds. Vodrae ad- Tmitied that the op{um was his, but stated that it was taken in payment ot a debt. He had no explanation to make of his reason for conceal- ing the drug in his trunk. —————————— | Chairman ABLE ORATORS T0 SPEAK FOR CUBA Names of Those Who Will Address the Mass- Meeting. Mayor Phe'an Will Preside Over the Big Gathering at the Temple. A Handsom: Cuban Fiag Will Presonted to the League on M:nday Evening. B: San Francisco is not going to be behind other cities of the Union in showing her sympathy for the struggling Cubans, and the character and standing of those who are intere: themselves in the move- ment is a guarantee that the mass-meet- | ing at Metropolitan Temple on the even- ing of Saturday, the 20th inst., will be a great success. The committee of fifteen appointed by Charles M. Shortridge of the committee of fifty-eight appointed by Mayor Phelan to make arrangements for the big gathering met last evening and set- tled many important points. Mr. Short- ridge was not able to be present, owing to severe 1liness that has kept him confined to his bed for some time past. It was decided to appoint the following speakers for the mass-meeting: W. 8. Barnes, Samuel M. Shortridge, Colonel Eddv. Patrick Reddy and W. W. Foote. One thing that Mr. McCue set forth that elicited attention was that the San Fra cisco and North Pacific and North Pacific Coast roads were running trains out of San Rafael and boats out of S8an Francisco at about the same time. Ho claimed they ought to aliernate, and said they could give as good service in this way with half the trips. He also held that the cost of running would be only half, and that therefore the fare oughtto be reduced one-hali. He qioted figures which he alleged showed that commuters had paid the interest on the railway bonds., He said, too, that the round trip rate to Corte Madera, twelve miles from San Francisco, was the same as the rate 10 San Quentin, a distance of twenty-two miles. He argued that it ough be made one-half. On Monday night next the Cuban League, the original organization of Cuban sympathizers in this City, will hotd a meeting at California Hall, at which the main event will be the presen- tation to the league of a handsome Cuban flag now being made by the Ladies Auxiliary. Tuere will nlso be speeches by promi- nent people. The flag is a handsome affair, and will be offered to the commitee in charge of the mass-meeting, {0 be used 1n decorating the platform at Metropolitan Temple on the nieht of the gatherjng. It is three feet long by two feet in width and decorated with gold fringe.

JAPANESE COUNTS AS APPRENTICES Four Young Noblemen on the British Ship ° Grenada. Learning to Be Sailors So That They May Become Commanders. The Peter Deniston Line of English Ships Employ Only G:r- man Captains. The British four-masted ship Grenads, now lying at section 2 of the seawall, en- joys the unique distinction of numbering among her crew four young men who are | of noble birth and who will at some future time each be known by the title of count. Nor are they British subjects either. They owe their allegiance to the ruler of Nippon, the Mikado of Japan. Some years ago the fathers of the young mariners, who stand hizh in the councils of the Japanese nation, decided that it would be a good plan to have their heirs become sailors, thai they might be a credit to their country at a time when the land of the chrysanthemum should be- come a great maritime vower. So the owners ot the Peter Deniston line of British iron vessels was applied to, and for a consideration the embryo com- manders were shipped as apprentices, ‘Those now on the Grenada are Denkicki Mori, Satkichi Togami and Dogi Hagino. Reystaro Takeda was also formerly an apprentice on tie Grenada, but has been transferred to the Socotro, anotker ship of thie same line. All of theyouns Japanese are developing into smart sailors and ex- pect to command ships of their own within a few years. Captain Korif says that they are well behaved and obedient and as good men as he wouid care to handle. The Peter Deniston line of ships, which comprises the Grenada, Australia, Socotro and two others, enjoys snother distinction in that 1t is the only British line in which | | all of the captains are Germans. Bach vessel carries four mates, and these in almost evers instance are also Germans. This fact is accounted for by the cir- cumstance that waile the vessels fly the | British flag and are under Enclish register the larger portion of the stock of the com- pany to which they belong is held in Ham- burg and other cities in Germany. The Grenada arrived here on Novem ber 12 last, charter that would have netted her owners much money. She came heie under charter at 27 shillings, but asshe came chead of time her owners did not allow her to enter port but sent her north for a cargo of coal, trusting to get her back in time to take 1he car:o for which she had been chartered. Bad weather prevented her from getting in on time, and the charter lapsea. She has been idle ever since, and has just ac- cepted a charter for Liverpool at 15 shil- lings. She goes to Port Costa, to load coal, this afternoon. WAS HE MURDERED? Friends of August That a Fractured Jaw Caused His Death. August Anderson, an aced shoomaker, died at the City and County Hospital at 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon. His death, the hospital physicians allege, was due to consumption, but friends of the deceased | claim otherwise. On December 1 Anderson and a butcher named Michael Connay came to blows in a saloon, and when the combatants were separated it was found that Anderson had su:tained a fracture of the jaw. He was removed to his home and a physician summoned, but after a few days be was removed to the City and County Hospital. The old man slowly weakened, and vesterday =ziternoon he died. though ot the belief that consumption was the cause of death, the hospital physi- cians considered the fracturea jaw, ana had the body removed to the Morgue, that an inquest might be held. Connay will be arrested and held pend- ing the verdict of the Coroner’s jury. e Kicked by a Horse. Diedrick Seegelken, a canvasser living at 2233 Geary street, was kicked bya horse he was driving at Ocean View yesterday ufter- noon and sustained & compound fracture of the right leg.
