That changes have not been made is aue to the attitude taker by City Attorney Dow, who with ,r Thomas forms the Republican ma- 1y in the Board of Works. Two years g0 when the Populists partly gained con- trol of the board they made ail the nges that they possibiy could in the rterests of their party,and the Repub- cans declared that if the fusionists had been st ful at the last city election they wouid undoubtedly heve substituted & Populist for every Republican in office, and judging from experience this is un- doubted 3 The political element opposed to Mr. bas somehow or other come to e firmly in the opinion that City Attorney Dow 1s absolutely controlled by Mr. Leach and that he is merely holding ck till the arrival of the editor from the ast.

Mr. Leach’s friends are not, however, allowing the fight to be all on the one side. They are coing all in their power to bring credit to_the position he has taken throughout. They assert that it was an absolute necessity for him or some one to insugurate a reform movameut in the government four years ago, and that his course throughout has been consistent and thoroughly indorsed by the reforms inaugurated by the administration elected by the Municipal League. They alsorefer to the tact that in National politics he has always been strongly Republican from first to Jast and an enthus:astic advocate of the gold standard of currency, and that under these circumstances local poiitics will not cut any figure in the distribution Federal patronage. Under these circumstances it can readily be -een that Mr. Leach’s return is being awailed with marked interest by his po- litical friends and dissenters alike. At Haywards Park.

Tuesdgy there will be three sessions, at all of which, except the forenoon, thers will be addresses by prominent spenkers.

Broke Iato His Own Residence and Was Taken for a Burglar. Chief Officer Lawless of the Steam- ship Austra ia Is Proui of His Partner in Life ALAMEDA, CAL, May 14.—Robert T. Lawless of this city had a remarkable ex- perience a few nights ago that he will not soon forget, nor wili his wife. Lawless is the chief officer of the Australia, of the Oceanic line, and he lives when ashore with Mrs. Lawless in a cozy residence at 1437 Fiith street. Very often, when in port, Mr. Lawless is compelled 10 stay on board the ship for a night or two immediately after docking, and before the last voyage of the steamer Mrs. Lawless told him that she might go main over with him. Unexpectedly he was not obliged to sleep in his stateroom on this stay in port, and as soon as everthing was shipshape on the steamer he started for home. it was quite late wiken he reached his home and after ringing the bell he con- cluded that his wife had gone to the City to see him,and sst down to await her return when she found that he had gone Two trains came and went, and master mariner concluded to make a | forcible entry into the house. He went to the residence of a neighbor and procured a lantern, aiter which he made an investigation of the rear portion ot his home to see whether. by chance any windows thronzh which he could make his way had been left open. A lower win- dow yielded and he gotinto the lower por- tion of the house, but his further progress was barred by a locked door leading to his sleeping apartment. There was nothing (o do, if he was going to get in, but to force it, and his muscular shoulder soon had the door creaking. An exira hard push sent the obsiacle flying open with a broken lock, and then the sailor retreated full speed before a start- hng apparition. . There stood his wife in her night clothes with a revolver clutched in her hand and pointed at his head and & determined gleam in her eye. Lawlessducked and yelled at her not to shoot, and, recogniz- | ing his voice after & moment, she lowere 1 | the weapon and atlowed him to enter. She explained that she and her niece had been sleeping in the back part of the bouse and had not heard the bell. She was awakened by hearing some one prowl- |ing about the house, and, getting her | trusty gun, prepared to_repel boarders. She was just about to fire at one whom she thought to be a burglar when she caught her husband's tones and released her hold on the trigger. Her niece’s visit had prevented her from making the trip to the City, and she had no thought of her husband coming home, as she had supposed that he would remain aboard the steamer until the next day. Lawless is proud of his wife. IMPALED ON A HARROW.

Wrede and a companion were at work this morning using heavy hammerson a piece of hot metal. Both are experienced workmen and have worked together fora long time. In some manner or other Wrede's companion struck a faulty blow and hit Wrede on the arm. The damage to the arm was not great, but the shock it gave him caused him to swoon. At the back of Wrede was a barrow that had been bronght into the shop, which is owned by Chisbolm & Farrell, for repairs, and when Wrede fell one of the spikes caught him on the top ofthe head.

OAKLAND, CaL, May 14.—The pros- pect of the removal of the commission men to the water front is not very bright at present. Thereis a lack of harmony among the dealers as 10 the scheme, and much has yet to be arranged. The steamer that is to handle the com- mission business between QOakland and Sacramento River points will leave As- toria to-night. The local dealers have met with much opposition at every stage of their progress from 8an Francisco dealers, who do not view with pleasure the pros: pect of losing the commission business of this city. ————— Water Company’s War. OAKLAND, CAL, May 14.—Next Thurs- day evening the two water companies will appear pefore the Conucil and ‘gue the matter of alternating tne fire hydrants throughout the city. The petition pre- | sented by the Oakland Water Company at last night's meeting looked something iike a directory of Oakland. Itasked the Council not 10 take any action that will decrease the income of the Oakland Water Company by taking from them any of the city patronage they now enjoy. This pe- tition was intended to offset that of the Contra Costa Company for the alterna- tion of hydrants. % SHOT BY AN ANGRY MAN J. 0. Claridge, a Machinist, Fa- tally Wounded by P. D. McMaann. He Tried to R co.cile a Quarreling Couple and th: Husband Resented His Interference OAKLAND, CaL, May 14.—J. O. Cla- ridge, & machinist, was fataily shot to- night at Eimhurst by P. D. McMann as the result of endeavoring to reconcile the latter to his wife. The neighbors say that Mr. McMann had been beating one of his children and was quarreling with his wiie, who de- fended the little one. J. 0. Claridge, an elderiy man living next door, tried to reconcile husband and wife. McMann seized a stotgun and turned upon Claridge, who threw out his arm only to receive the full charge of the in- { furiated man’s weavon in the pit of the stomach. The fingers of one hand were also blown off. Claridge's wounds were pronounced necessarily fatal. McMann surrendered himself at the Oakland police station at 11 o'clock, two hours after the shooting, and bevona stating that he had shot a man in a quar- rel over a child, refused to give any ex- planation. McMann 1s 28 years of age. ——————— THE BURNED OPERA-HOUSE. Talk About Rebuilding—Suspicious Cir- cumatances Attending the Fire. ALAMEDA, Cav., May 14.—J. C. Linder- man, the owner of the opera-iouse which was destroyed by fire last Sunday night, returned from the mines yesterday after- noon. The first news he had on the fire was on Wednesday, when he reached Colfax and a friend showed him a City paper coutaining an account of the dis- aster. He has not yet made up his mind what to do with the property, but it is not re- garded likely that he will rebuild. It is said that parties are negotiating for the purchase of the property with the inten- tion of rebuilding. There is talk of bring- ing several organizations together under one roof, but this has not yet taken definite form. A San Francisco cavitalist is said to ba willing to put $40,000 into such a structure. The investigation as to the cause of the fire does not make much headway, though some facts have been unearthed which look very strange. Soon after the fire broke out it was noticed that the gas pipes were disconnected from the meters, and the gas was escaping with full force and making a great blaze. There was nothing to indicate that the pipes had been wrenched off by force, buton the contrary those who saw them said that they looked asif they had been disconnected by the use of tools. There are said to be a coupls of people who noticed the odor of fire in the afternoon, but their direct testimony has not been obtained as to this, Early Closing. ALAMEDA, CAn, May 14—A move- ment has deen set o1 foot among the gro- cers and others to inaugurate a general early closing movement among the stores of Alameda. The butchers have for a long time been carrying on business in that manner, and now the grocers propose to imitate them. A petition is in circul tion and is being generally signed, plede. ing the signers to close as soon after 6 p. M. as possible. Some favor 6:30 and others think 7 o'clock the best time, but it is not apurehended that there will be much difficulty in reaching a conclusion that shall be satisfactory to all concerned. Bimetallic Club, ALAMEDA, CAn, May 14—The A meda Bimetallic Ciub is to have a meetine this evening at 1325 Park s:reet for the purpose of renewing vledges to fight it out on that line if it takes many summers. The club invites all believers in the res. toraticn of the money of the constitution to join them and work for that object. There are no dues and the club is sup- poried by the voluntary contributions of the members. Carrier Pigeons. ALAMEDA, CAL, May 14 — A stock company has been formed in Hono- lulu for tne purpose of inauguraling a messenger service between the various islands of the group by means of carrier igeons.

His Comparison of the Indian Creed and Chris- tianity. He Wants the Hiodoo Priests to Leave Us in Our Owan B:liefs. Rev. J. B. Warren sends the following letter anent the mission of Dharmapala to this countr, In THE CALL recently appeared a lengthy communication from H. Dharmapals, generai secretary of the Maha-Hodhi Socizty, in which he expresses the desire and intention to estab- lish a branch of the society in the United States. He tries to show that tnis wouid be an jmprovement on Christianity as now held and taught, while at the same time he en- eavors to show that there is little or no dif- ference between the precepts of the Christian Bible and those of Buddhism, quoting exten- sively from the Old and New Testaments, which he indorses as teaching the same truths a3 those taught by Buddhn. As Buddhism—iu the form of theosophy and by Indian_teachers—has, within the last few months, been made to figure very promi- nently before the public, and as not a few bave been attracted by the sophistries. gen- eralities and beautiful Oriental embellish- ments with which it has been presented, I de- sire (if you will allow me to do so through your columns) to call attention to a few plaln iacts concerning Buddhism and compare it with Christianity. Iwilldoso in plain every- day language, without sentimentahsm or philosophical sophistries, 5o that any intelli- gent reader can know just what it is thatis offered to us in place of Uhristianity. It is not denied that Buddhism contains many moral and social precepts which are most_excellent and which are very similar to many contained in Christianity, yot these are bt the expressions of innate convictions of right ana_wrong entertainea by almost ail mankicd who are appreciably advanced ebove savagery. They are held even by all who re- fect Christianity and ail other forma of re. igion. Surely we are not to swvallow a piil of dead.y substance because some one shows us 8 few graius of sugar adhering to the sutface of it. Christianity has its God—the infinite, eternal and unchangeable Being, existing in ana of him elt_from all eternity—the Creator, Pre- server, Sovereigu and Redeemer of Men. Buddhism has no God, but is essentially atheistic. Buddha is nota divine being who took the form of man, but 1%, or Was, & man who has been annthilatid becedse he arrived at s siate of perfection, There have been sev- eral Buidhas, and there will be at least one more, who will appear several thousand years hence. The doc:rine s this: At long intervals of time there have appeared men who, in many state of life to another, huve 80 increased in knowledge and purity that they can rise no higher, and so after the next death are born no more, but pass into annihilation—or, which 18 the same thing, their individual existence has been reabsorued in the infinite substance. “It s while he exists in this final state on earth, previous to annthilation, that this per- son is Buah, and is worshipped as & god, and after his death continues o be worshipped— not as a present god, but as amemory; and the rulesan fule of Lfe, worship and religion of the ople Buddha is, therefore, only a supposed saint exalted into a god, and is an objzci of worship. The last Buadha to appear was Gandama, born about the year 626 B. C. Dr. Howare Malcolm gathers the following information regarding this Buddha “Hs had previously lived in 400,000,000 of worlds an ditions in esch. In this worid he had been aimost every sort of worm, fly, fish or animal, and almost every grade and condition of life. Having in the course of these transmigrations attained fmmense merit, he was at length born sou of the King mentioned” (a king in Hindustan). * * * “The moment he was born he jumped upon his feet, and spreading out his arms exclaimed: ‘Now I am the noblest of men! This is the iast time I shail ever be born.’ His height when grown was nine cubits (about thirteen and a half feet). Hisears were 5o beautifully long as to hang upon his shouiders; his hands reached to his knees; his flugers were all of equal length, and with his tongue he could touch the end of his nose.” This (or the memory of him) is the god of Buddhism at present, as described in_plain ianguage divested of the ambiguities ol philosophy aud the embellishmentsof Oriental speech. This is what Dharmapaia and the Bramacharin have come to0 offer to Americans in piace of Christianity’s God. Tne distinguishing ~peculiartty of Chris- tianity s expressed in the Scripture state- ment, “He that s our od is the God of saiva- tion.” He saves men from sw and death by redeeming them and putting his spirit within them, Men are siuners and need salvation, and this our God fully and gloriously meets. Buddhism has notbing whatever to this subject. It utterly ignores sin iug man's spiritual character and relation to God and 1s dumb regarding grace, forgive- ness, etc, It recognizes only inter-human re- lations and religious forms and ceremonies. Dharmapala speaks against priests, theo- logians and ceremonies of Christianity. Buddhism has more than a million priests, numerous idols, and the essence of its religion is in rites and ceremouics. What he says about tne ethical tcachings of Buddhism is only the sweet bait he puis au the entrance to catcn silly fiies. He quotes liberally from the Christian Seriptures, indorses the sentiments, and af- firms that he has thus snown that Christ and Buddha are “one in spirit” and doctrine. But you will notice that he quotes only the moral precepts—those relating to inter-human con- ditions, personal and sociel. He very care. fully avoids such quotations as these: “God 30 ioved the world that he gave his only be- gotten son, that whosoever b lieveth in him #hould not perish, but have everlasting hie’'; “The Son of Man c4me 1o give his life a ransom for many”;: “I lay down my life for the sheep'; “Who his own self bare o sins in his own body on ths tree”; our Passover, is sacrificed for uy him who loved us and washed us sins in his own Flood”; “He that believeth on the Son hath life, but he that beilevetn not shall not see lile, but the wrath of God abideth on him”; “With ut the shedding of blcod there is no remission,” and very many other such passages. Tuese are carefuily avoided by Dharmay and these show that Christ aud Buddhw, Christianity and Buddhism, are as far upart 26 truth and error. If Buddhism is such n grand religion, why are the hundreds of mil- Yions of Buddhisis 1n India, China and other Asintic couutries in 80 low a state of civiliza- ifon a< measared by Christian civ.lzation ? 1f Buddha is one with Christ in doctrine and spirit, why has Buddhism shackied men in overy way whilo Christianity hus liberated, enlarged and enuobled ihem ? Dharmrpaia wants to induce Americans to adopt Buddhism so that they will be kind to animals and s op eating beel. But we have, our societies for prevention of cruelty to ani- mals and we like beef too well to give it up. But that seems to be the reason he wants to convert us to Buddhism. No, Mr. Dnermapaia and Bramacharm, we do not desire to dethrone Jehovah and ‘sut- siitute Buddha; we are not ready 10 substitute Buddhism for Christianity; we are not ready to give up the hope of personal salvation through Christ for annihiiation by reabsorp- tion into “iufinite substance.’’ Please go buck home and leave us to our poor Coristianits, while you rejoice in the Tiches of Buddhism.

The charge to the jury was given by Judge Carroll Cook, who gave the usual statutory definition of “reasonable doubt' that ought to be considered by the jurors in determining the guilt or innocence of the accused. It was noted thatno men- tion was made of the exercise of “‘com- mon-sense’”’ 1n weighing this point. Be- cause the Judge ventured to use this ex- pression at a former tricl the verdict of guilty was set aside and the defendant was granted a new tril by the Supreme Court.

The Mayor and Supervisors Figuring How to Cus the City Expense 2ccounts Retrenchment in various municipal de- partments in order to make the deficit in the funds for this fiscal year assmall as possible was discussed by the Mayor and Finance Committee of the Board of Super- visors yesterday. While no definite conclusion was reached it was decided to lay over the im- provement of Alamo Square until next year, thereby working a temporary saving of $12,000. The question of paying co| ists in the Recorder’s office for folios in printed matter, when the only work they do on them is to fill in dates, was referrec to the City and County Atlorney, and it was discusged whether or not a number of deputies in the License Collector’s office who are employed in geiting new busi- ness could not be dispensed with and the work done by the policemen on their various beats. The Boys’ and Girls’ Aid Society ex- pense was also taken up and discussed, the opinion being expressed that chiidren should not be kept there more than two months. Ifatthe end of that time they aid not show signs of improvement they shoul:! be sent to a State refcrm institu- tion where the State could stand the ex- pense. The matter went over to the next mesting of the committee. LA BERGE CONTRADICTED Dr. A. H Giannini, a Young Ia- terne, Adheres to No Broken Rib Theory.

To a CALL representative Dr. A. H. Giannini, one of the internes, made the following statement regarding La Berge: “This man La Berge came to the hospi tal in 8 patrol wagon at 10:30 o’cicck on May 7 and was assigned to ward A, which is my ward, where he was examined by Dr. Philip Thomas. About an hour and a half afterward 1 made an exam.nation of him and found no injuries other than a slight contusion of the right side. 'here were no ribs broken so faras1l could ascertain. Tne man was noisy. He persisted in talking loud and smoking a cigarette, which is against the rules of the institution. His wife and a lady friend were present. Mrs. La Berge gave me to understand that they had means suffi- cient to pay for medical attendance, and it was her wish that her husband should be taken home. To this I offered no ob- jection and before she removed him she signed the following document: CITY AND COUNTY HOSPITAL, SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Muy 7, 1897.

A positive denial was made regarding La Berge's statement that he was told treatment in the hospital was on the score of charity and that complaints were not in order. —————— Scared by Dr. O’Donuell.
