The Visaliait: Won the Dust Pr.z2 on a Straight Go'd He Was Cloely Pressed by Otle Feudner, Who Came in S:cond. A Division of Cash. The second day’s shooting of the State live bird tournament, under the auspices of the Olympic Gun Club, came off yester- day according to the programme, and it was marked by some remarkable work. The attendance was fairly large, The principal event, the second on the list, was the contest for the Gold Dust trophy, which was won bv James Rice of Visalia. It was a twenty-Dird race. Rice shotin good form and killed his twentv stiaight. He had a close rival in Otto Feudner, who also brought Jli's twenty down in good shape. The two high zuns shot off on five birds, and again they made another straight score. Another five birds were trapped, and once more the man from Vi- salia killed alt of hisclean. Feudner was to lose the first, but he four; so the prize killed the remaining went to Rice. The fortunate man will hold the medal U 1 the next tournament, when he will return it for future competition, but he will take all the entrance money in the | next match in which the medal is con- tested for, which may amount to a con- siderable sum. Feuduer, however, drew the second prize, $15, and tbe third, $10, was divided mong Clarence Haighi, Frank Maskey, auman and F. Merrili of Stockton, who killed nineteen birds ench. Nauman lost his fourth, Haight his tw-lith, Masky bis ninth, and Merrill his eighteenth. In the side pool on thatevent Feudner won first money, $15; Nauman and Haight divided secord money, $9, and Chick took third money. 36. The first match of the day wasa six bird event with fifteen entries. Of these eleven shooting made clean scores. In this match ewehty-five birds were shotand only four lost, t¥o dying just outside of bounds. The money of the pool, $47 50, was diyid- ed among the followingon siraight kiils: Haicht, Feudner, Rice, Nauman, Carr, Ralphs, H. C.

St. Brendan’s and Its Popular Pastor. 02 Tuesday next, as announced in yester- Rev. Father Nugent, the popular pastor of St. Brendan’s Church, will celebrate his silver jubilee, or, rather, bis friends will celebrate it in his honor. The greatest en- thusiasm prevails throughout the perish and amoug all who know Rev. Father Nugent to insure the success of the cclebra fon. By his arduous labors he has built up for himseif & citadel of love and, respect in the districts 10 which he has devoted himse/f. Particulars of the coming celebration, which inciude solemn services at which eminent clergy wiil sssist, were published in TiE CALL of yes- terday, Following on the silver jubilee of the be- o, i %90, o Qaaqaee® loved pastor there will be held the grand an- nual excursion and jubilee pienic of St. Bren- dan’s parish and parochial schools. This will take place atSieil Mound Park on Monday, the 31stinst. A large number of harndsom: prizes have been secured by an energetic com- mittee, and everything points to a successful and enjoyabie outing. From the time when Thaddeus Kos- cinsko fought for the independence of the United States as aid-de-camp and orderly officer to Washington, his services being commemorated by means of a monument on the kanks of the Hudson at West Point, and by the Kosciusko School for colored people, which Presi dent Thomas Jefferson founded at New- ark, the people of this country have always manifested & very marked interest in the fate of Poland. All oppressed and down-irodden nations struggling for free- dom meet with generous and whole-hearted matier whether they be Armenians, Cre- tans, Irish or jews. But somehow or an- other the case of Po'and appealed more strongly than that of anv of the unhappy people just mentioned, to the American heart. Their fight for liberty, which has contintel almost without interruption for more than 100 years, has been signalized by so many romantic episodes, has fur- nished such unique examples of bravery, of patriotism and of chivalrous self-sacrifice, that anything which affects their we fare meets with a keener appreciation in North America than anywhere else in the world. This being the case, attention should be drawn to a v ry remarkabie feature of the new policy of conciliation, which young Emperor Nicholas from the very moment of Lisaccession to the throne of Russia | has inaugurated in the Polish provinces | of his dominions. It 1s nothing more nor less than the repeal of that inignitous law which prohibited every one professing any other than the orthodox Greek faith from owning or occupying land in the former kingdom of Poland. Inasmuch as the Poles, in spite of the cruel persecu- tions to which they have been subjected on relizious as well as on racial grounds, have remained fervent adberents of the Roman Catholic ehurch, this was equiva- lent to debarring them from re- taining possession of such of their ancestral estates as bad been left to them after the wholesale confiscation which the Russian Government was in the habit of decreeing aiter every revolutionary move- ment, and even without any such cause, but on the most frivoious and trivial of pretexts. It is worthy of note that in spite of the reputation for tyranny en- | joyed by the first Emperor Nicholas, and the renown for the possession of more en- lightened and liberal principles accorded by history to his son, the ill-fated Alex- ander 11, this law was enforced with far greater severity under the reign of the lar- ter than during that of his parent. In- deed, there is no ruler of Russia beneath whose rule the Poles may be said to have suffered so much from persecution and op- pression of evary conceivab e character as that of the so-called “‘Liberator”’ Czar. The present Emperor has altered all this and has caused it to be made known | that not only has the cbnoxious law in connection with thetenure ot land in the western provinces been repealed, but, moreover, that he would be glad to see the | Polish nobility onc: again occupying their ancestral estates. Ever since this has been understood abroad there has been a steady flow eastward of the Polish aristocracy, and they are rapidly recover- ing, by means of purchase, all those castlesand domains with which the names of their families have been identified since time immemorial. Among those who have already taken advantage of the Czar's new vpolicy in this particular are | the Counts Potocki, Zamoyski, S:arzenski, Czartoriski, and about 100 more bear- ers of equally illustrious names, who will doubtiess become in course of time quite as loyal to the Czar as their fellow- countrymen in the Austrian portion of Poiand are to Emperor Francis Joseph. Itis pleasant under the circumstances to be able to state that these Polish Prin- cesses and Counts are recovering their estates at a relatively smallcost. The old proverb, according to which violence and ecution always end by inflicting more injury upon the people Who make use thereof as an instrument than to those against whom it was directed, has proved true once more in this instance. For while the Russian nobles who obtained the Polish castles and estates either by erant from the Russian Government, which had confiscated them, or eise merely at a nom- inal price at the compulisory sales are now in such a state of financial disiress and bankruptey that Nicholas has ju<t been forced to appoint an imperial commission to devise some means for their relief, the Polish nobility have prospered to such a degree in exile that ere long they will coustiiute what is to every monarchial country a source of boundless strength, namely, a rich and affluent territorial aristocracy, possessed of sufficient means to develop the latent resources of the country, and above all to ameliorate the condition of the peasantry and masses for whose material welfare as their tenants they are morally responsible. Had the until now brief reign of Nicho- las II been signalized by no other event than the inauguration of this new and lib- eral policy toward the Poles 1t would in it- self have been sufficient to render it notable in the history of Russia. The present Czar and his advisers have at length realized what has long been apparent to every un- prejudiced student of statecraft, namely, that whereas an antagonistic Poland must necessarily be a cruel source of weakness and of acute danger to Russia, a loyal and contented Poland on the other hand con- stitntes a bulwark of defense to the huge empire aguinst 1ts most execrated and hereditary, as well as dreaded foe, namely, Germany. Poland can never be Russiamzed. The national sentiment, the national religion and the love for the national traditionsare t00 deeply inrooted in the hearts of the people for that, and all attempts in that direction have lamentably failed, the oniy result h ing been Lo stiil further accentuats the differ- ence between the two races by reducing the Poles to the coudition of political pariahs, that i3 to say a caste apart, deprived uf the civic rights and privileges of the Russian- born subjects of the Czar. But while Poland cannot be Russianized {tcan be transformed into an invaiuable a.ly; and if any doubt pre- vuiled in the mind of the present Czar it must have been set at rest by the phenomenal suc- cess which has attended the policy in .his direction pursued in Austrian Poland by Emperor Franeis Joseph. Austria’s tactics toward her Polish provinces have been entire.y different to those of Russia and of Prussia. Whereas the two latter have endeavored to crush the national sentiment, the Viennese suthorities, on the contrary, have fostered 1t, and Francis Joseph has made # point of conceding as much autonomy as he possibly could toward his Polish lieges, The result is that to-day thers are no more devoted adberents, no more chivalrously loyal sup- porters of the Hapsburg dynasty than the Polish aristocracy and the peasantry of Gali- cla. Tney hail Francis Joseph, not as their “Emperor,” but as their “King,” and are now engaged in rajsing, by popular subscription, s svmpathy on this side of the Atlantic, no | NEW ERA FOR THE POLES.

The Galician peasantry make magnificent cavalry sotdiers and the Polish 10blity the most dashing and brilifant cavalry oficers. Moreover, the Polish aristocracy possess so much intuitive shrewd- ness and innate diplomacy that from their ranks have been recruited many of the most responsible aad valugble servants of the Aus- tro-Hungarian crown. Thus the Prime Minis- ter of Austria at the present moment isa Polish nohle of the name of Count Badeui, while Emperor Francis Joseph, on tha occa- siou of his recent state visit to the court of St. Petersburg, was accompanied by another great dignitary of Polish nationality, Count Golou- chowski, popularly known as “Golou,” and who fills the office of Minister of Foreign Affairs for the dual empire, and performs like- wise the duties of Minister and Chscucellor of what is known as the “Imperial House’' of Austria. Without recommending the Czar to intrust the destinies of Russia to Polish nobles, as has been done in the caseof Austria by the Emperor Francis Joseph, who hes never made the mistake of atiempting to Austrianize his Polish subjects, there is no reason whatsoever why Nicholss should not, if he coatinues in his present enlightened course of policy, con- vert the Poles in his dominions into just as loyal and as devoted vassals and supporters of his throne as tre the Galicians in connection with the crown of Austris-Hungary. And I may add that no happier time cou!d have been chosen for the inauguration of a new policy of this kind in Russian Poland, for it coincides with a renewal of Emperor William’s singu- larly ill-advised endeavors to Prussiauize Posen—that is to say, that portion of the former kingdom of Poland, which at the time of the partition of the latier in the last cen- tury was awarded (o Prussia. People in the past have been 0 much aceustomed to 100k for despotism and tyranny on the part of Russia that nobody has paid much attention to Prussia’s persecution of her Polish subjects. True, there have been times when the perse- cution has abated for a period. Buti the res- sons for this have been of & nature to reflect no crediton the authorities at Berlin, for 1t has been 1nvariably due not to any sense of justice nor to any consilerations of statecraft but merely in consequence of the {nfluence exercised at court by some Polish no possessed of the besuty aud captivating charms of herrace. Aslongas Bismarck remained at the head of affairs this served to intensify his hatred of the Poles, and the latter, looking upon him as one of the bitierest foes of thefr race, naturally 100k conspicuous part in every court cebal against him, for which itis true he lost no opportunity of revenging himself. When the old Emperor died and the influence which the princely house of Radzi- will had exercised upon him came to an end, Bismarck had a free hand and oppressed the Poles, nobles as well as peasants, 10 his heart’s content. This continued until his disgrace, Shortly afterward the young Emperor became subjugated by the grace and beauty of Buroness Kosciol Kosclelski, wife of one ot the leaders of the Polish party in the Prussian House of Lords, and perhaps the most populer among his country- men of all thelr national poets and pla; wrights, The mastery which the Baroness ob- tained over the young Emperor was £0 great that it led to his Majesty's reversal of the Bismarcxian policy toward the Poles, where- upon the ex-Chancelior, in the course of a public speech, declared that “the Polish influ- ence augments to the detriment of Prussia al- ways in the measure that some Polish family obtains more or less fluence at court. I need not mention that of the' Radziwills, and to-day we have exactly the same state of a. fairs.” Bismarck’s allusion to the Radziwills was a reference to the old Emperor’s “'grande passion’” for that lovely Princess Elizabetn Radziwiil, whom he was at one moment on the point of marrying, and to whom he re- mained devoted throughout her lifetime. This, however, did not stay young Emperor William. On the contrary, it served merely 10 cause him to show more and more favor to the Kosciols, and he not only re-establisied in deference to their entreaties the Polish lan- guage in the schools and churches of Fosen and nominated & Polish ecclesiastic to the archbishopric of that province, but likewise appointed a number of Polish nobles 10 im- portant offices at court and in the army. All things come to &n end, even the reign of a besutiful and clever woman. If court gos- sip at Berlin is to be believed Loth the Em- | press Victoria Augusta and her mother-in-law, Empress Frederick, showed themselves aggrieved by the amount of talk created both at home end abroad through the attentions of the Kaiser to the fair Pole. Moreover, dur- ing the grand army maneuvers that took pla in the province of Posen some of the Polish nobles in whose castles Bavarian, Saxon and other princes of the Confederation known as the German empire had been quartered were emboldened by what they looked upon as the Ewmperor’s favor toward their race to adopt a spirit of independ:nce which took the form in sevoral cases of a refusal to hoist the flag of their royal guests on the ground that no colors could be permitted to fly except those of Poland. The climax, however, came when Baron Kosclol-Kosciolski, on meeting the Austrian Emperor at the opening of the exnibition at Lemberg, i Austrisn Poland, hailed not Emperor William but his Austrian Majesty as the real and only *‘King of Poland,” the “only King” t0 whom alone ali Poles were willing 10 accord allegiance. This speech was immediately communicated to Emperor Wil liam, and as it happened to reach his ears simultaneously with angry protests from the King of Saxony, who complained of the slights to which his brother, Prince George, had been subjected as above described by the Polish no- biemen in whose csstles he nad been quar- tered during the army maneuvers, he deter- mined in his usual impulsive fashion to cut aarift from influences that had becowme a mai- tar of public gossip and popular ill wili. So he iutimated to the Biron and Baroness that toeir absence from court was preferrea to their presence, and when the Baron traveled to Potsdam 10 try to explain matters the Emperor sternly refused to receive him and suggested in & manner that allowed no misun- derstanding that the Baron should leave the clty at once and remain on his es:ates. That ended Polish influence at the eourt of Berlin, and as if 10 atoue for his infatuation, which while it lasted served to estrange many of his Prussian nobles and his South German allies, William s now manifes:ing as much bitterness and ll will toward the Poles as he formerly showed favor. He has as far as pos- sible removed all the Polish nobles from the positions of dignity aud trust to wiich ne had appointed them while subject to the thralldom of the Baroness, and loses no opportunity of saying harsh thingsabout the Poies in generai, denouncing them as ungratefal and distoyal, threatening them with the fullest measure of nbis wrath in theevent of his discovering them engaged in any practices that can possibly be construed as treasonable. Naturally his sub- ordinates take their cue from him, and the re- sult s that at no momeut havs there been 50 many Instances of persecution, oppression and downright bratality on the part of the Prussian authoritles toward the Poley as have been recorded of late. ! Ol course, this only serves to accentuate the conciliatory course pursued by the Czar on the eastern shores of the Vistule, and one of the effects thereof has been 1o lead many great landed proprietors in Prussian Poland to migrate across the frontier and to transier t0 the Czar the alieglance hitherto accorded 10 Emperor William, at the same time placing at the dsposal of Russia the valuable knowl- edge — strategic, economic, politic, ad-' ministrative and military—which they bave obtained while stll subject to the German Emporor. Numoers of them are being naturalized as Russians, and among the most recent instances thereof is that of Prince George Radziwill, son of old Emperor Willism’s “principal aid-de-camp and formerly one of the most brilliant figures of the court of Berlin. Poland has so many friends in this country that widespread satisfaction cannot fail to be created in the United States by the Czar's inavguration of a policy which, while just to the chivalrous snd gallant Poles, is like- wise certain toprove 8 sovrce of strength to his immense empire.

Captain Wright of the N:reid Belisved to Haye Had Business Men as Cor= federates. SAN DIEGO, Car, May 22.—Captain James D. Wright and Peter Asmussn, who were arrested yesterday afternoon, charged with smuggling Chinamen into tue United States, are still in jail, unable to secure bail. Asmussen was called np in United States Commissioner Knole’s court to-day to tell what he knew of the affair. He stated that about three months ago he entered the employ of Wright to go with him on a cruise down the Mexican coast alter abalone shelis and meat. They put in at Santa Tomas with the schooner Nereid, which Wright had feased from Joseph Sexton of this city. Leaving the sailor in charge of the vessel Wright went inland, returning tle next day with eight Chinamen whom he transferred to the schooner. After taking on a cargo of sheils the Nereid sailed northward, putting in on May 5 at Mussel Cove, fifty-five miles north of this city. There they landed the Chinamen and returned to this port, dis- charged their cargo and sailed southward again. Upon arriving at Santa Tomas Wright ac.ed as though he expected some one, but there was evidently a hitch, for he told Asmussen to return alone with the schooner to San Diego. This the latter did. Upon his arrival he went straight to Virgilio Bruschi, a well-knowu Italian merchant, who, Asmussen claims, knew all about the Mussel Cove incident, and asked him if the coast were clear for Wright to return to the city. Bruschi said everything was all right, and Asmus- sen sailed southward. He returned yes- terday with Wrizht, and upon their ar- rival both were arrested by the customs officers. The schooner, which is valued at $600 and belongs to Jose H. Sexton, was seized, and to-day a Chinese merchant, See Chung, was arrested as an accomplice of Wright, and released on $300 bail. Bruscbi denies all complicity in the affair and claims he was simply provision- ing the schooner for legitimate trade. He has not yet been arrested, but warrants are out for the cap'ains of (wo otber little trading schooners which are believed to be engaged in smuggling. Upon their ar- rival here they will be seized. Collector Fisher says he has informa- tion from a rancher named Smith, near Oceanside, that a large quantity of opium was smuggled ashore near there Wednes- day night. The rancher discovered the smugglers, who were eight in number, and who threatened his life if ne ‘peached” on them. It is thought that ali of these belong to a large gang thathas been oper- ating on this coast for two years past and which has representativesamong business men of this city dhiogl Blockton-Onkland Steamships.

Badeball Terms. “I mentioned the other day asa base- ball term that had fallen into decay,” said Mr. B fferly, “‘the ‘zoose egg.’ This term, time honored, and once commonly em: ployed, is now no longer heard. Two other terms, once 8s familiar, and almost as commonly used, but now put away on the same sbe'f witn the goose egg, are the ‘red-hot grounder’ and the ‘daisy-cutter.’ “‘The daisies grow now just as they did then (for which let us be duiy grateiul), but the baseball is a daisy cutter no longer. Tne balls are heated now as red hot as ever—if anything, a little hotter, but such a ball is no longer described as in the phrase once familiar, as a ‘red-hot grounder.” The extreme warmth of the sphere is now referred toin some other manner. ““The fact is that in baseball, as in all things else, fashions change, and phrases that to-day seem to glow with descriptive fervor may to-morrow seem dull and spiritless indeed.” —New York Sun. o S 2 Queen Victoria has about forty pet dogs, her greatest favorites being coliies.
