THE SA FRANCISCO CALL ARCH 21, 189 e - THaNEEeeel ey .- those who were behind. It was the knowledge resting in the heart of every one ot those patriotic men when he offered up his life as a willing sacrifice upon his country’s altar, that he was fighting not only his own battle, but the battle of the loved ones behind. And he knew when he walked on succeeding days into the hellof strife that if he won & victory, that victory was a vietory for universal mankind. And so with us. If we cannot shoulder a musket, and if our Government, respecting its position, respec its relations with the other Governments of the world, cannot assist, we as individuals can pray to the same God that our mothers, sisters and wives prayed to in the years that are past and gone and we may ask of him who rules the nations of the eartn to grant strength and power {0 the arms of those who are fighting the holy battle of freedom. [Loud applause.] Let me prophesy s little—just a little. This struggle that is going onin Cuba is going to turn out just es other.struggles have turned out waged sgainst the tyrannous power of Spain. [Appiause.] We have the re- public of Brazil, the republic of Guatemala, of Peru and of Ch o they were dependencies of Spain. They fought these battles one aiter another until, as was 50 eloquently suid, there is not now in the Western Hemisphere a nation as a nation that has not a President at its head. [Ap- plause.] 80 will it be in a verr short time that on our southeastern cosst there will be a republic of Cube. (Loud u When that time shall come, the sons and daughters of men drinking deep life-giving draughts frox freedom’s crystal fountain and feasting upon the precious fruit that grows on liberty's tree shall sing hosannas of praise to God and glorify that day of birth. Here the speaker digressed briefly to criticize the policy of the iate President toward Hawaii, and proceedea: “One thing, however, I think we can felicitate ourselves upon: If we can only take for truth the ringing words that were uttered by our new President when he 1alked of American citizens, we may rest assured that irom this time on a man who is an American and owes his allegziance to the stars and stripes will be protected by this great Gove: nt. [Applause.] *“We have passed these resolutions unan- imously. Ionly hope that as we pass from | this presence the sentiments contained therein will find an abiding-place in our nearts and minds, and after we have gone from here let every man and woman who believes in those principles, who believes in liberty, in justice apd in patriotism constitute herself and himself a commit- tee of one to stir up the feelings of the veovle of San Francisco, and let us see if there will not go forth from this City a moral force which wiil have some influ- ence upon the administration, looking to | the recognition of Cuba. [Applause.] “It was grandly said to-night that it seems as if this generation has grown so soraid with the lust of gold that patriot- ism has become crowded out. I have often thought that the moral vision of mankind bas become perverted, unles: indeed, it is blinded by the glint and g ter of gold. To-day we find the great powers combined together to crush out one little nation that has the bravery and the patriotism to seek to protect Christians from murder at tte hands of the Turk. [Prolonged applause.] “Let me ask you why? Is it nota fact Germany, Russia, Engiand, Austria, these great nations, are controlled in what is called the Eastern question, and in con- nection with the politics of the Old World to-day simply because of gold? It isthe bondholders of Berlin, it is the bondhold- ers of England, of Vienna, of 8t. Peters- burg that 2re stopping those nations and paralyzing their erms. Did you read the other day the grand sentiments from the pen of the grandest statesman of the day and age, William Ewart Giadstone, when he gave utierance to those words and won- dered, he said, if the arm of justice had be- come paralyzed ? % *And so even may we wonder. Is the arm of justice in our grand country be- come paralyzed? Was it the fact that even the moral supportof this Govern- ment could not be extended to the Cu- bans because ) York mer interests at stake in Cuba? I think it was. the greatest President this country ever had—Abraham Linceln—once said, there is in the heart of the common people all that is necessary for the preservation and the perpetuity of the grand institutions under which we live, and I say to you | there is sprinzing from that heart of the common people—and I thank God I belong to the common peo- ple —all over the broad land a sentiment which shail go up as an in- cense upon high; welling from the hearts of the peopie which will be a moral force in behalf of | the Cubans such as no President and no | Government can resist.”’ plause.] Mayor Phelan advancing to the edge of the platiorm then announced that the proceedings were ended, and the large audience slowly dispersed while the band played a patriotic air.

EMERYVILLE TRACK Miss Rowena Tock the Flying Stake From Martha. |Scarf Pin Too Fast for Her Field in the Rancho D:3! Paso. Esperance Won the Fiood Hurdle Handicap a' Comfortable Odds. Thre: Favorites Successful. The largest crowd of the meeting saw seven dec:dedly interesting events run off at Emeryville track yesterday, three of these being stakes. Miss Rowena took | the flying stake for fillies, Ed Purser’s fast mare Scarf Pin annexed the Rancho del Paso bandicap, and Esperance at long odas placed the stake hung up for the | Flood hurdle bandicap to the credit of his | owner. The weather was cool, and a stiff breeze blowing over the course prevented any- thing approaching record splintering. Nearly all of the different races were well | contested, first choices in the betting | managing to show first at the wire on three separate occasions. All of the win- ners were well supported, and the buyers of odds had bellows to mend at the con- | clusion of the afternoon sport. The flying stake for two-year-old fillies, | distance four furlongs, did mot attract | much of a field. It was worth $700 to the | winnor, and five sprightly misses faced the 1ssue. The Burns & Waterhouss duo, Miss Rowena and Nupamax, coupled in the betting, were pronounced favorites in | the ning, the ruling price being 4 to 5. Of | the others, Free Lady at 11 to 5 and | Marfha called for the most backing. There was no noticeable delay over at the post. Miss Rowena, with Martha as a close attendant, were the contending ones | throughout, Eddie Jones on the former | defeating Tom Grifin’s filly with Marty | Bergen in the saddle, a head in 4834 sec | onds. Napamax, when it Jooked as though | her’stake mate might be in cifficulties, camelike a ghost ihe last 100 yardsand was beaten but a neck for the show. The Rancho del Paso handicap, over a mile, for three-year-olds, with a gunaran- teed value to the winner of $950, callea ou' a field of six, Candelaria, the Burns & Waterhouse entry, with 115 pounds up, opeued a 6 to 5 choice, later receding to 3to 2. The outsiders, The Roman and Grandezia, were accorded mucn support. | Itall ended in a holiow victory for Scarf Pin, the second choice, piloted by Sloan. She waited on The Roman into the stretch, and when given her head fairly romped in over iiree lengths ahead of the favorite, in 1:42. Good Times possessed no speed whatever. ‘Aquinas was also a ! fizzle, never looking a contender. | Laston the card and the third of the stakes run was the Flood handicap at two miles, a hurdle affair with eight obstacles to clear. Opening at 9 to 5 Baby Bill, | shouldering top weight, 150 ‘pounds, was | backed down to 6 to 5, though 2 to 1 was | obtamable around post time. A wild plunge on Tortoni cut the gelding’s odds from 25 to 8. Of the others, Arundel, played from threes 10 8 to 5, carried the | most coin. Baby Bul paraded out in front of his company for over a mile and a alf, when be began showing unmistuk- | able signs of weariness. J O C soon passed | him, and the chestnut horse’s backers | began diving for their tickets, when | Esperance happened on the scene, and passing the initial horse won with ease. | Time, 3:50. A mile selling event, with a fiela of eleven starting, was first decided. Thelma, | ridden by T. Sloan, was made a pro- | nounced favorite, and after being rated along in third position was easily beaten out at the end by Rosellega 10 to 1 shot, with Maxey in thesaddle. £dam Andrew. which cut out the pace, was third. - After causing considerable delay at the post by her unruly antics Nebuia, the 6 to 5 favorite for the six and a half furiong selling sprint that followed rated along with Altanera, and then beat the Baldwin { entry handily by a head in 1:23. Quan- trell, a 100 to 1 shot, ran a close third. Green Morris’ mare, Sallie Clicquot, suf- fered ano:her defeat in the third event at six furlongs. She ruled an 11 to 10 cheice in the betting and was beaten out rather cleverly by Miss Brummel, ridden by “Skeets” Martin. The winner was as cood as5to 1 in the betting. Mainstay led to the paddock, where he quit badly. Jockey ‘‘Skeets” Mariin put another over the plate in the sixth race, over a mile, decided under seling conditions. He sported the colors of McNaughton and Muir on Judge Denny, backed from threes down to 8 t0 5, and in a drive led Cabrillo past the judges half & length in 1:4214. San Marco, a 15 to 1siot, was third. Lost Girl, weil backed at sixes, was sadly messed about. Palomacita was al$o ex- tensively supported at 3 to 1, and ran a uery disappointing race. i DT NOTES. Harry Griffin, the jockey, left for New York last evening. The clever rider was not seen in the saddle here this winter. Ed A. Tipton, manager of the Montana racing circuit, was a spectator at the track yesterday. The stewards at Emeryville reinstated Jockey Frank Coady, who has been on the suspended list for some time. Pedro Enos was also given permission to ride for his own stable again. Twenty bookmakers chaiked up prices in the ring, the cut-in being for one day. Judge Joseph J. Burke, presiding judze in the stand at Emeryville, departed last evening for Newport, Ky., at which place he will officiate in the stand during a forty-day race meeting to be held there. His successor has not been appointed. WHITE LABOR FOR HAWAI Labor Commissioner Fitzzerald Goes to Honoluiu Next Tuesday. Among the Many Questions That He Will Iavestigate Will Be Annpex tion, Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald departs for the Hawaiin Islands next Tuesday on the steamer Australia. Hs wiil be ac- companied by his Secretary, E. M. Greene. Both will remain there six week: The nature of Mr. Fitzgerald’s mission is well known, as the invitation extended him by the people of the islands to come there was given wide publicity by TmE CaLL a fow weeks ago. He goes with the view of investigating the feasibility of supplying the islands with white labor, to supplant the Japs and Chinese now employed. : There has been an impression there for years that American labor would prosper, while on the contrary many here believe that whites could not withstand the cli- mute while engaged in bard labor. His report will include the question of annexation in its various phases, and will be semi-official in its nature. The Com- missioner welcomes this chance for a sea | voyage at a time when his health bas been slightly impaired by arduous mental labor. > —_———— Mrs. Sandell’s Daughters Slighted.

A, D e R CHRISTIAN AND BUDDHIST DEBATE Dharmapala, the Indian Priest, Before the Philo- sophical Union. Lectures on the Differences Be- tween the Two Great Religions. Professor H wison Puts Questions and the Very Root of the Matter Is Approached. Dharmapala, the Buddhist priest, who comes to this country as a missionary of his faith and whose lectures before the Theosophical Society have attracted such wide attention, delivered a lecture at Berkeley on Friday evening before the Philosophical Union on the differences between Buddhism and Christianity. The occasion was made doubly interesting by the questioning to which the young priest submitted after the lecture at the hands of Professer Howison. The professor strove to get at the core of the Budd ist’s ‘belief, and Dharmapala strove to explain it 80 far as the great teacher himself made it plain. The tull text of the lecture as delivered ‘was as follows: Two thousan1 five hundred years ago s great event occurred in the evoiution of religious thought in Asia which resalted in the accept- ance of a new conception of man’s life and a revolution of theological ideas which had hitherto gained implicit and unquestioned obedience, The enunciation of ney ideas of life liberated man from the manacles of the priests, the fatalism of the prophets and the sensualism of the annihilationists. Thelabors of Darwin, Huxley, Spenser, Berkeley, Hume, Mill, in England; the services of the German philosophers have resulted in bringing the change from antiquated theological ideas of the Semitics and the Persians to a scientific ‘acceptance of the evolutionary nature of the universe. Eighteen centuries of ecclesiastical supremacy in the domain of theological dog- matics have been dominatea by the patient researches of analytical scientists, and the worid 1s thrice happy that it has been liber- ated from the shackles of intolerance and religious persecution. Just as Europo had been before the dawn of the scientific era under the domain of the yriests and their theologies, so was India in the centuries before the birth of Buddha. The people were divided into castes, the priests arrogating to themseives all power, royalty given second place,the common people trented as serfs and kept outside the pale of enlightenment. Priesis were the mediators between gods of the upper regions, whose chief was called Brahma, to whom prayers were addressed ss the Father of the World, the Supreme Creator, the Preserver, etc., and men. Ritualistic observances, penances, fests, abiu- tions and holding festivals, worshiping the elements, sun and moon, drinking wine and invoking the aifferent angels and God, consti- tuted religion uader the hierarchy of the Brahman priests. They were saints who led their lives as ascetics, some imitating the nature of fowls, of bats, of the dogs: some mortifying their body by the heat of the fire; some by exposing themselves to cold, rain and sun. They were independent specnlativo philosophers, who interpreted their theories according 1o the experlences ot the semsa- tions they had in their philosophisings. Monotheistic, polytheistic, pantheistic, ag- nostic, animistic and nihilistic theories wefe current at the time. Superstitions, mystic symbolisms, astrology, spiritism, had devo- tees. Skeptical dialecticians denouncing the buffooniery of the priesis Jwho chanted the vedas and sacnificed to the gods. Just at this time there was born ason to King Sud. dhodana of the powerful Sakyas of Kapil vastu. This Prince was named Siddhartha, meaning “Consummation of the Wish.” His concep- tion was immaculate, and when he descended from the tur-ita heaven to be born on earth it is said that 1t was infull consciousness that he tered the womb. This msrvelously psycho- 1 phenomenon of rataining conscious- from one life to another is the peculiar heritage of a world savior and none other. To be & world-savior the Prince in his previ- ous lives for hurdreds of incarnations had to fulfill the ten perfections of absolute charity, holy life, ronunciation, truthfulness, forgive: ness, wisdom, determination, cuitivation of will'power, univer al compassion and equai- mind-dnces For four (sabknya) immensities and a 100,000 of world cycles tho tuture Buddha the'se perfections were practiced. The Inst life was the life of consummation. Tne father of the Prince was extremely solicitous for his welfare, and all precautions were taken to keep him 'from danger. Ten thousind worlas rejoiced when the Prince was born. Celestial beings sang and glorified him. When he was 16 years of age he was married to the Princess Yasodhara, who was of the same age as that of the Prince. Clasped in Jove's em- brace they both lived till tne tweniy-uinih year, when & boy was born to them. It was then that the Prince made the great renuncia- tion unparalleled in the history of the world. For six years he siudied thé philosophy of the Brahmans, went through the ascotic train- ing of the yogis, mortified his body in the hope of finding out the Path of Deliverance. By experienca he realized the useiessness of thie ascetic life of the Brahmens and was not sficd with their philosopny which taught & permanent ego living in a state of cessation of perception and sensation. Sensualism did not give him satisfaction and Brahmanical yoga was tried and found wanting. Tnere was Do immortality in either conditions and there was no religious life in sensualizing enjoy- ment and bodily mortification. He struck out a new path, avolding the extremes of sens ism and asceticism, which he called the mid- die path. He discovered the\true religious life, which helped him to see truth. He real- ized the immortal'p nce. He found that he had become perfecily en- lghtened and he uttered, in the triumph of his glotious victory, that 'he had become the Supreme Buddh, the chief of the worlds of gods and men. Hislife from that moment till the final passing away was one of incessant activity. For lorty-five years he was the acknowledged Jeader of all. Kings, princes, nobles, branmans, all bowed before his blessed feet, and as the iriend and protector of the suffering world he marched with his band of disciples, numbering a thousand, proclaimiug }H gotpel of peace, compassion and holy ving. Incidents in the life of Buddba are so often quoted as to show the similarities that exist Detween bis life and t}fat of Christ, but as yet no attempt has been made to show the differ- ences between the two lives. The Buddha as & world savior chooses by his own will the mother who is to give him birth he selects the country and the time that he i to be born in. The time he was born was one of the greatest religious activity. India, With its 200,000,000 of people, was on the tiptoe of expectation of a great religious leader. Po- liticaily they were independent. Greece had her Pythagoras, Nebuchadnezzar was reigning in Babyion, Coniucius and Laotze were be- ginning to shed their light in China, and the Jewish God Jehovah had given i new cove- nant to the Jews, revoking the o0 d command- ment given through Moses on Mount Sinai The worid has never yet witnessed so great a period in the religious history 0 man. As a world savior he came down from heaven and 100k birth in the family of the Sun Kings of Indis and made sacrifices in remouncing everything for_the sake of humanily and showed an example (o the world that great men could make sacrifices. Ho experienced domestic bappiness till his twenty-ninth year, He won his wife by snowing his martiai Prowess before the assembied princes who had come according to the royal Indian customs to witness the Swayam vara game. Tne Great Tempter Mara, the Buddhist Satan, appearing before Buddhia on the eve of his renunciatiou promises 1 seven davs sov- ereignty over all earth if he would give up his resolution to become Buddha, when he a:- swered that he did not care for earth.y king- doms. In the temptation the strong individuality of Buddha's character fs brought into vivid- ness by the complete trtumph Le had over his ‘temp:er. From the time Buddha sent out his discivles 10 proclaim the message of holy life to the last moment of his earthly life of forty-five years of minisiry not one word of malediction ever es- caped his blessed lips. ~ “The Buadha bas mercy upon the meanest tning,” and he ex- horted his disciples not to speak harshly even to an animal, Even to Devadatts, who con- spired to destroy him, he uttered only words of compassion, . .. . - He went on' foot, walking seversl hundred miles to comfort his father, and he went to heaven 10 preach the doctrine to his mother, Wwho was born there. He never asked his dis- ciples their opinion about him,and when Sarifeutta, the Simon Peter of Buddha’sdis- ciples, went into a spontaneous outburst of ecstasy in praise of Buddha, the compassion- aie teacher stopped nim, saying ‘‘knough, ; the Buddha’s greatness caunot be Dbecuuse there s no comparison to He asked not his discip es to pre and he was never in agony and never praye and never wept. ‘The Buddha is not like the other teacners who wan: the help of their disciples at eritical moments of their lives. When King Ajata Sotts et the royal .ele- phant at Buddha to have bim crushed the Buddha smiied and when the beast came be- fore him he'sent rays of love and conquered him by his overpowering love. Never was Buddhadriven out by the inhabitants of & viliage. 1f they scolded him he would srgue with them quictly and by homely parabies sbow their errors. When Alavaka, the Gemon, was terrorizing the people, the Budaha visited him, and by geutleness and .firmness he con- quered bim. The perfect man never weeps, never resents, never destroys, never curses; never allows o be conquered, killed, or crucified or beaten. He saves, he comforis, he rejoices, he shows compassion. Buddhn, rddressing the Brahman Sels, “Lam & king, O Sela, the incomparable King of Righteousness; with justice [ turn the wheel, a wheel that is irresist: ble. ‘Subaue thy doubt about me; have faith in me, O Brahman; aifficult to obtain 18 the sight of Buddhus repeatedly. +0f those whose manifestations is difficult 10 obtain in the world repeatedly, 1 am, O Brabmana, periectly enligntened—an incom- parable physician, most eminent, matchles: crusher of Mara’s army; having subjected all enemies, I rejoice, secure on every side. “A reiigious life is well taught by me—an instantancous. immediate life, in which it is not in vain to become au’ ascetic toone who learns in earnest.” [“Sela Sutts,” Sacred Books of the East, Vol. X.J « Buddha's religious teaching is to be found in his glorified life and that of his immediate disciples. Religion, according to Buddha, is Dot & tacitacceptance of certain dogmas or metapbysical theories apouta soul, or & god or speculations whether the individual ceases %0 exist or not. Buddhism rejects the superstitions of the animistic creeds, which teaches creation of souls by a creator deity. It rejects the fataiis- tic idea of man’s enslavement in the absolute sense to the law of causes. It repudiates the theory of the annihilationists that life ceases to continue after this existence. The teachings of the Buddha are based on & monistic philosophy, an ethical code and an idealistic psychology. A unitary conception of natute’s laws, the permanency of the law of cause and effect, a continuous change in the unjverse caused by perpetual motion, the in- finite nature of consciousness, the immortal- ity of every living being, the eternal condition of the mind wiren it is freed from ignorance, lust and hatred, the attainment of this stats by a holy life—these are the fundaments! doc- trines of Buddha. The Niryana of Buddnism is the unconditioned condition of the per- fected mind.

EARNTEEIR DAILY DOLLAR Two Hundred and Sixty Laborers on the Boule- vard. More Funds Must Bz Subscribed if the Obj ct Is to Be Attained. Two hundred and sixty men were at work yesterday on the new boulevard and to-morrow probably 300 will be given an opportunity to earn a dollar apiece and 10 cents extra allowea for carfare to and from the distant place of operations. The deeds to rights of way through ex- Mayor Satro’s and the Spring Valley Wa- ter Company’s properties were received by the Boulevard Association and depos- ited in the Nevada Bank, to the satisfac- tion of all concerned. The work} fund thus far subscribed is $9710 70, but between $15,000.and $20,000 more will be necessary to complete the boulevard as far as Ingleside. The drive- way is to be 100 feet wide and finally cov- ered with a layer of macadam ten inches thick, or more than twice the usual thick- ness, thus insuring a substantial roadbed. All the rock is to be supplied free of charge from ex-Mayor Sutro’s quarry, near by. The committee in charge and members of the Boulevard Association particularly wish that citizens may go out to inspect the work and to observe the diligence of the men employed. They wish to show the public that every man is earning his dollar and that none of them, as was the case in the park work done two years ago, is shirking. Cornelius O’Connor of the Boulevard As- sociativn and an active member of tne construction committee,was on the ground nearly all yesterday. He said that an ar- rangement is to be made for a conference with a committee from San Mateo County, whereby arrangements may be made for the extension of the broad, easy driveway through that county and eventually to Ban Jose. “More money is needed,” said Mr. 0’Connor, *'to insure work for others of the unemployed in addition to those al- ready employed. Already 1966 men are rezistered as applicants for places, and 260 have been put to work. any of the public spirited and charitably inclined citizens have given money, but there are rich men who have uot yet subscribed. There are several thousand cyclists in this City and they are ever talking good roads. Now, there is not one of them that could not afford to contribute a dollar or two dollars toward giving a deserving man a day’s work and at the same time aiding very materially in securiug a magnificent, broad, picturesque, sheltered drive to the City. ¥ “Let them raise a cyclists’ fund for the boulevara work as an evidence of their sincerity in always clamoring for good streets. Let them do this or forever hold thrir peace.’ “The object of this boulevard,'”:said C. C. Beamis, who is president of the Boule- vard Association, *is to get an unob- structed and attractive road out of San Francisco. *I'he San Bruno road by the bay shore is narrow, rough and often traversed by bands of hogs, sheep and cattle being brought in to Slaughtertown. The Mis- sion road is occupied by an electric. car tine and is very dusty. If we complete the boulevard the City will have a splen- did drive to the Twelve-mile House and from there on to San Jose is & fine county road. But if desired the drive may be taken throngh the park round by way of Ingleside and to the ocean beach. *ho work now being done is. through wooded, picturesque hitls that will insure a warm anda sheliered drive.”” The organized unemployed, recently in- corporated into the Home and Help Sup- ply Association, rented yesterday new quariers at $50 a month and will move into them to-morrow and institute the system contemplated 1n the artizles of incorporation. They have secured a first floor and a basement at 249 and 251 Second street, near Folsom, the apartments that until very recently were occupied by the Good Samaritan Mission, now in a new building of its own just across the atreet. Itis expected thal between 300 and 350 men will take possession. They boarded and lodged at $2 a week, which it is understood each will pay as soon as he gets work and the money. The headquarters of the Home and Help Supply Association. will have a tele phone. The new quarters have nine rooms, in- cluding a basement and bathroom. To this many of the men are eagerly looking forward fora change that has not béen convenient for mary-weeks. A suggestion was made terday that the unemployed qualify for the police force and offer their services to the City at the reduced price of $50 a month. the convention. An appropriat: floral emblem and motto will be designed and lanted in their garden plat as one eature of the decorations at Plymouth Church. 7 The Sunday afternoon prayer meetings have not been held at the Presidio for some time, on account of the improve- ments being made to the post library, ‘where meetings were heid.

They expect that all Endeavorers will give them their hearty co-operation. A pastor of one of the large Eastern churches writing to an officer of the union and referring to the work of preparation for the convention says: *‘You are doing magnificently. It is my firm belief that you will have a glorious convention. You Iay fall below the Eastern citics in mere numbers, but that does not mean you will not have better meetings. We expect great things of San Francisco *97.’ The programme committee on the quarterly convention met last Tuesday evening at the Y. M. C.
