2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1897. may properly be ascribed to a, naval officer. Commander Mullaa' did not grant the use of the steam launch as freely as did lis predecessor, and when they applied to him for use of the dancing hall he de- clared that he would not risk bic _mg up the powder magazine, which was in close proximity. 3 So, being deprived of their favorite pastime of boating and dancing, the naval officers and their wives resorted to snake stories and scandal. Naturally enough, the unobl and non-aristo- cratic Commander Mulian was the first vie- sip. It was reported that, in \is wile, he was paying the abs L noticeable attention 10 & very beautiful young girl who lives in the neighbor- hood. brace: by sufferance occupied by ‘“‘squatters.

VIENNA'S ML Dr. Lusger's Election Privately Sano- tioned by the Emperor. VIENNA, Austria, April 14.—The Em- peror has privately sanctioned the elec- tion of Dr. Lueeer, the anti-Semite leader, Itis expected that his election will be gazetted on Sunday. On April 8 the municipal council, by a vote of 93 to 39, elected Lueger Burgo- master for the fourth time. The first time he declined to acc:pt, because the ma- jority was not large enough. His second election was annulled by the Emperor, who is strongly opposed to the anti- Semite agitation. When elected the third time he was advised by the Emperor to resi:n, which he did.

It was also alleged that she was the recipient of bouguets cut from the navy-yard gardens, and that she visited the residence of the commander at all tours unattended. The attorneys for Commander Mullan, who appeared for him at the recent in- quiry, believe that this publication was made with the hope that the Navy Da- vartment wou!d take some notice of the matter. The conspirators against Com- mander Mullan then laid the case before Secreta Herbert through the instru- mentality of W. G. Chipley of Pensacols, a politician of some note, who is ambitious to be a United States Sznator. Acting upon the representations of Mr. Chipley, Becretary Hervert detailed Captain Crom- well to visit Pensacola and make a report. A court of inquiry was later ordered and the facts here recited were brought out. In addition it was alleged by a witness, that one day when he visited Commander Mullan at his residence he found him intoxicated and in the company of two Pensacola marricd women. One of them was the wife of the engineer in charge of the water works improvements ac Fort Barancas. At the inquiry Captain Mullan produced several witnesses to prove that these ladies bad called on & mission of charity, and that he was not under the influence of liguor. The evidence in the Mullan case com- prises 700 type-written pages. It is now being briefed by the judge advocate-gen- eral of the Navy Department for presenta- tion to the Secretary of the Navy. Messrs, McCammon and Hayden, attorneys for Mullan, stated to Tue CALL correspondent ht that they had been granted the privileze of seeing the evidence, and to make notations, in order that they might prepare a brief presenting their side of the case, but that they had not been allowed to see the report of the board of inquiry. His attorneys cite the case of Com- mander Graham, who was stationed at Richmond, and who, upon hearing of the death of Admiral Porier, induiged in profanity and expressed the hope that he had gone to a hotter place than earth, Commander Graham was also accusea of falsifyine the record in his own case, but upon conviction on both charges, he was sentenced only to suspension for a period of seven years, auring which time he was to remain at the bottom of the list with- oat chance of promotion, McCammon & Hayden do not admit that their client will be convicted, but say thatif he should be, the penalty in his case will not be any more severe than that in the case of Commander Graham. Commander Mullan is a veteran of the late war, having been graduated from the Naval Academy in 1863, His first service was in the We t Gulf blockading squad- ron, during which he was qngaged in sey- eral attacks on Confederafe batteries on the Texas coast. He was with Farragut at the battle of Mobile Bay, and was pres- ent at the surrender of Fort Morgan. He commanded the Monocacy on the Asiatic station from 1868 to 1871, and participated inthe naval attack on the batteries on the river in Corea in June ot the year. He wasin command of the Nipsic ¢t Samoa during the troublesome times wilh the Germans, in 1888, and gave pro- tection to “'Kiein, the American,” when that correspondent was threatened with arrest by the commander of the- German sloop-of-war Adler. In the great hurri- cane of March 16, 1880, the Nipsic was the only vessel of 1he American squadron at Samoa that was saved. Since then he had served as Lighthouse Inspector pre- 'vious to being assigned to the command of the navy-vard at Pensacola, levees must be weakening. Three steam- ers have reached this city in the past twenty-four hours, brinzing over 1000 head of mules, horses and other stock, and as many people, the greater number of whom are colored. Many of them are without food and sheiter. At6p. M. the river had reached 51.6 feet on the gzuge. HELENA, ARk., April 14.—A Jdistress- ing accident occurred ten miles west of this city to-day, resulting in the drowning of a family of seven negroes. Sanders, a tenant on Joel Higgins' farm, where the current had been so swift as to threaten the destruction of houses, left with bis wife ana five children for high ground. Unfortunately, they took into highly. vull, which was almost famished, at- tempted to eat the small limbs of a willow tree through which the boat was being pushed. This action tipped the boat and frightened the occupants, who made frantic efforts to rightit. In his excite- ment the bull kicked the side of the boat to vieces and the entire family were drowned. NEW ORLEANS, La., April 14.—The river is rising steadily. Shortly after noon it registerea 18.9 fect—above all records. All wharves aiong the front of the main portion of the city are submerged and much freight stored on them 1s afloat. At afew points the river has been washing into the streets. In the lower part of the city the ground is very low and the sur- face of the river st its present stage is on a level with the second stories of houses nestling under the levees. damage. At the slaughter-house beluw the barracks the river is washing over the lovee. At Amesville, the scene of the great crevasse of a few years ago, the river is again washing over the leves and the situation is critical. Heroic efforts are being made to hold the levee and save thousands of acres of rich sugar lands. Two very weak places have developed in Luke Borgne district, the worst being at Pecan Grove, below this city. The situa- tion on Bayou Lafourche is still regarded as desperate, and alongat Caatafalaya it is little if any better. The depots oi the Southern Pacific and New Orleans and Northeastern railroads are under water. Along thecity front there is now a margin of only eighteen inches between the flood | level and the top of the levees, and most ol this is composed of sand and bogs. Benator Cordilia’s telegram from Ten- sas Front last night declaring that the Louisiana levee could not be-held caused demoralization here, but the spirits of the people revived when Cordilla telegraphed that the district would not give up the fight. He and other leading men have ;-mod the people to prepare for an over- ow.

But while tue situa- tion is more promising there, it is the contrary. in Louisiana, whicn will have several weeks yet to fight the rise. A break in the Tensas district would relieve the couniry south of Red River temporarily, but would only delay the end of the flood.

Colonel Reeve rendered his opinion this afternoon. He holds that the 1aw did not contemplate the admission of the popula- tion of the Chinese empire, and that ample authority is containea in it for the Secretary of the Treasury to use his dis- cretion in determining how many Chi- nese are necessary to successfully main- tain a Chinese exhibit at Nashville. The golicitor maintains that the Secretary may admit as few or as many Chinese as he sees fit, Secretary Gage, backed by the solicitor’s construction of the law, will to-morrow instruct the Collector at Pembina to as- certain whether the person in charze of the party has a concession from the ex- position authorities, and if no such con- cession can be produced to refuse admit- tance to the entire 179 Chinese. The Sec- retary has not determined what he will do about deciding on the number to be aliowed to enter this country, but it will be necessary for all Chinese claiming ad- mission under the act . relating to the ex- position to produce evidence. The opinion of the solicitor hus relieved the minds of the officials charged with enforcing the exciusion law. -Information has been received to the effect that at ast 20,0 Chinese would claim admission asartisans, laborers and exhibitors. . The broad phraseology of the act gava the: great deal of worry, and until Reeve ga his views to.day they were in doubt re- Rarding their legal ability to prevent the influx of Monrolians. Large parties of Chinese bouxd for Nashrille are expected to arrive shortly at San Francisco and Vancouver. Instruciions for tueir deten- tion have been issued. e WooL AND WJOLEN GOODS. Senator Mantle Thinks the Manufsciurer Will Get More Protection Than the Grower. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 14.—In the Senate to-day the subject of duties on wool and woolen goods came up on the presentation of a memorial from the Association of the United ing such rateson raw wool as will advance the interests of farmers. One of Montana’s Senators, Mantle, availed himself of the occasion to poiat out that the secretary of the Wool Manu- facturers’ Association had been empioyed s clerk to the Finance Committes, which is now considering the tariff bill, and he intimated that such employment would likely operate to the advantage of the manufacturers ra:her than the growers. ‘The Senator is mistaken,” said Morriil, chairman of the Finance Committee. “That gentieman calied here to give some information on the subject of the wool- manufacturing business.” - has been done a_great many times before,” put in Frye of Maine. ‘“‘He called,” Morrill said, “asa gentle- man of very wide informatien on the sub- ject of wool and woolen clothes.’ “There is no doubt,” Mantie remarked, “that he direct Tepresentative of the woolen manufacturers and there is no doubt that there is a decided difference of opinion between the wool-growers and wool-manufacturers as to what should be the rate on wool. The National platform pledged the Republican party togive am- ple protection to wool-growers. On the {aith of that pledge the wool-growers gave their votes to the Republican nominee for the Presidency. At the same time there is no doubt that a great majority of the wool-growers free silver men. That is true of all Western Republicans. They now claim that the pledge of the Bepubli- can convention is not redeemed in the wool schedule of the Dingiey bill."” Alfter further dovate the memorial was referred to the Finance Commiitee. The joint resolution introduced yester- Aay by Vest declaring the orders of the Becretary of the Treasury as to the retro- aciive section of tne Dingley bill to be without authority of law was taken up, and, after discussion, referred to the Finance Committee by a vote of 24 to 23. All the affirmative votes but one (Mantle’s) were cast by Republicans, and wbe negative votes by Democrats, who were joined by Butler (Pop.), Cannon (Sitver), Cuandler (R.), Hatfield (Pop.) anda Pettigrew (Silver). A communication irom Mayor Strong of New York to the Vice-President ex- tending a cordial invitation to the Senate 10 be present at the Grant ceremonies was presenied, but no action was taken. A joint resoiution deciaring the exist- ence of war in Cuoa and recognizing both sides as belligerents was not taken up on account of tbe absence of Hale, who in- ténds to speak against it; but notice was given by Morgan that he would move to take it up to-morrow. A communication from the President was la.d before the Senate urging early action by Congress in order that the Government may be able to accept the in- vitation of the French republic te partici: pate in the universal exposition at Paris in 1900. It was referred to the committee on international expositions. The Indian appropriation bill, carrying over §7,600,000, was taken up and Gorman made a speech urging the necessity of economy, quoting from McKinlev’s sugural. e argued that the appropria- tions for an increase of the navy, for coast defenses and rivers and harbors might be largely cut down without detri- ment to public interests. The amendment reported by the com- miitee on appropriations as to the muc - discussed question of opening the Un- compahgre reservation in Utah, including the Gilsonite lands there, was debaied at length. A point of ordet against the amendment was pending when the Senate, at 5P. M, proceeded to cousider executive business, adjourning soon after- ward till to-morrow. —— N WEAKENS, JEERX SIM Fails to Raive His Threatened Bumpus ¥n the Howve, WASHINGTON, D.C., April 14.—Jerry Simpson’s anticipated row in the House to-day did not occur, meither did his prophesied abandonment of Leader Bailey by the Democratic members. The session was notable only for the sppearance of De Armond of Missouri as spokesman for the littie band of Democrats opposed to Bailey’s policy of acquiescence in the Re- pubtican do-nothing programme. Simpson, in the face of an unusually full House, refrained from demanding official ascertainment of & quorum. Upon Dingley’s motion that when the House adjourn it be until Saturday, a division was demanded and the motion agreed to—131 10 38. It wus at this point tbat De Arwond appeared as a leader, de- manding a vote by ayes and noes; but the best he could do, with the b.lp of his Populist coborts, was to muster thirty- one adherents—not enough to ordera roil- call—and the struggle enaed at 12:09, when the House adjourne NAYAL CIRCLES EXCITED. Congressman Shattuck Creates a Breeze at Annapolis by Appointing a Colored Cadet. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 14.—There is likely to be a big rumpus in naval circles. Representative Shattuck of Ohio to-day. appointed R. C. Bundy, the suc- cessful colored boy in the competitive ex- amination, for naval cadet at Annapolis. General Shattuck also sent & copy of the order to Becretary Long of the navy and notitied him that he had appointed Bundy. Representative Shattuck anticipats strug le with the naval academy over stand by Bundy to the end and will see that his righits are respected and that his treatment is fair and on equality with other cadel: As soon as it became known that Bundy was likely to be appointed protesfs came from the Annapolis cade!s, some of them threatening to resign. General Shattuck #aid to THE CALL correspondent to-night: "W all see whether the cadets will resign not. If they make any trouble for Buudy, or curtail his rights or privi- leges in the least, I shail introduce lution in Congress to investigate matter and the Naval Academy and ascer- tain if there is law agsinst colored boys, being made cadets. Idon’t care wuat the unwritten law is. If they don’t wantto receive a colored boy they must make a rule to thateffect and stand by it. I am not going to desert my appointes. I hav appointed Bundy and I intend to see that he gets his place, whether the cadets re- sign or not."” General Shattuck was quite indignant at the threat from Annapolis and says he will fight the battle to the end.

ADWITS THAT HE STOLE THE BOADS Ex-Banker Spalding’s Theft From the University of Illinois. Now Accused of Graver Crimes Committed While He Was Treasurer. Bx Governor Altgeld Found to Have Been Responsible for His Appointment. CHICAGO, IrL., April 14.—C. W. Spald- ing has admitted that be hypothecatcd the missing bonds belonging to the State University. This admission was made to F. M. McKay, the University’s president, at the office of Oliver, Spalding’s attor- ney, on Monday evening. ““We saw Spalding only s few minutes,” said President’ McKay to-day. ‘He ad- mitted that he bad hypothecated the bonds, though not all of them. We ex- pect that a complete report of his doings will be presented to Mr. Keith as soon the latter gualifies as treasurer.” Spalding is either in hiding or has fled. Nobody seems io know his whereabouts. An examination of the Globe Savings Bank's vaulits disclosea -no paper of any value. Several thousand dollars in werth- less bonds were about ail the assets dis- closed in the search. Itis claimed many bonds belonging to the university have been altered. From the face of the bonds the University’s warning that the bonds were not negotiable has been erased. It now looks as though Spalding will havea hard time to keep out »f the penitentiar; Lawyers say he committed a grave crime it he made the erasure. The statement that ex-Governor Alt- geld was respousible for Spalding’s elec tion as treasurer of the university was re- iterated by President McKay to-day. The latter also declared that it was upon the advice of Aligeld alone that Spalding’s first bond was accepted in 1893. McKay said: “Spalding was elected treasurer on the Governor’s recommendation in the first place. It was understood all along that Altgeld wanted him for the position and that was why he was given it.”” It is becoming more apparent that the ex-banker's business irregularities have been to a considerable extent the result of domestic irregularities. Spalding's in- fatuation for his former typewriter and stenographer, Louise Ervine, has been the root of more evil than is generally conceded. It is known that he lavished money upon her. The scandal was so no- torious that Mrs. Spalding secured separa- tion papers several years ago. Inquiry at the office of the State Auditor to-day developed the fact thatnot a soli- tary cent of the big appropriation made to the university two years ago remains to the credit of the institution in the State treasury, With the official approvel of ex-Governor Altgeld, whose signature was necessary before any of these funds could be withdrawn, every cent was (ransferred long ago to the custody of Spalding. g Ard for the University. CHAMPAIGN, Irn, Avril 14.—Jokn Farson of the brokerage firm of Farson, Leach & Co. of Chicaro has telegraphed to President Draper of the University of Illinois that he would be one of ten to advance $30,000 to be used to tide the institution through the present school year in case it should develop that the failure of the Glob: Savings Bank had left the university penniless. It has been stated that the university would be co: pelled to close on account of the defalca- tions of Spalaing, but President Draper | says that while the institution is baaiy | crippled there is hardly a possibility that work will be suspended. — AFTER THE CIRCUIT JUDGESHIP.

A NAVAL NAILING SHIP. Cadets 1o Be Tnatrwoted in tha Figst| Principlen of Seaman:hip. WASHINGTON, D.

Secoretary Sherman’s Feconstruction of the State Department. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 14, retary Sherman has called for the resigna- tion of Chief Clerk Edward I Renick of the State Department and will appoint W. H. Michael to fill the vacancy.

Last summer he compiled a report on the orkings of the tariff bill which was used s 2 campaign document by the Repub- lican National Committee. He never served in any capacity under the State Department and his appointment is u big surprise to its officials.
