An enthusiastic meeting of natives of | Ohio was held yesterday afternoon at 409 | | California street and organized the “Ohio | Society of California.” A constitution and by-laws were aaopted in which the objects of the organization are declared to Le ‘‘to promote social and fraternal union among its members, and to collect, pre- serve and diffuse information respecting the State o! Ohio and itz veople.” The following-named officers were elect- ed: President, B. Ib. Haskell; vice-presi- dents, Alexander Badiam, D. D. Stubbs, J. A Healy, M.D.; secretary, L. P.

Several of the vessels were at Hakodate on May 14 and the captains report that the Charles W. Morgan had taken one right whale. The California took four, but one of them sunk. She had also 350 barrels of sperm oil. The Atlice Knowles tock one right whale, whiie th: Horatio had only thirty barrels of sperm oil. The Cape Horn Pigeon captured one right while. So far the season has not been a great success. A string of twen ine horses and al- most as many mules, in charge of twenty- five men, drew a crowd at the ferries yes- terday. The eniire outfit is on its way to Mendocino, where they will be used in the logging camps in carrying bark to the chutes aiong the coast. The British ship Scottish Dales got in from Junin, Chile, yesterday siter along passage of seveniy-one days. She is very foul, and that coupled with the fact that she had liznt winds all the way accounts for the long run. The Hongkong Steamship Company’s steamer Hupeh arrived from Hongkong via Yokohama and Victoria, B. C., yester- day. She is under charter to the Canadian Pacitic Steamship Company, and has con- Siderable cargo for this port. Since the Pacific Mail brgan puiting on tramp sieamers the Canadian Pacific has fol- suit, and the chances are thatit will again make an attempt to secure some of the business of this port. Should they continue running their tramps 1o iis port the chances are that a freiz.t rate war will be started again and there will be more slashing of rates. The Hupeh was formerly in the English sugar trade, and 1s a fine commodious carrier. All'the relatives of Otto D. Erlach, who jolhfication meeting in the near fu- ture.

ASA FISK’S MONEY, | Over m Million Dotlars Demanded by a Son of the Deceased Financier. Asa W. Fisk has sued the trustees and heirs of the estate of the late Asa Fisk for the peat little sum of §1,099,064. The plaintiff is a son of the decedent by his first wife, and now seeks (o recover from Mrs. Lydia B. Fisk and her children the full value of the property left by the | noted money-lender at the time of his death. The items are as follows: Money held in trust by said aecedent for the benefit of this plaintiff since 1856, §954,368; losses from land specuiation in Tacoma, made at the request of the deceased, Le agreeing to stand the loss if any occurred, $144,696. Through his attorneys, Joseph McKin- ley and A. Evereit Ball, an_explicit state- ment of the transactions leading to this claim is presented by Mr. Fisk Jr. He says that when his father left Boston about twenty years ago ho agreed to man- age certain moneys belonging to the pain- tff in this action, and that it_was agreed tuat these moneys shculd be made to produce as much income as possibie; that his father was very successful in the man- agement of the funds thus entrusted to | bim und that he ofien was able to lend this money at the rate of 25 per cent a month, ranging from that figure down to the nominal interest of only 5 per cent a month. According to the opinion of the younger Fisk all the fortune amassed by | his faiher grew out of the trust fundsthus invested. He therefore demands immedi- ate delivery of the avails of the estate. Atthe time the will of Asa Fisk was presented for probate the plaintiff in this case appeared as a contestant, but subse- quently withdrew his opposition to the probate of that instrument, reserving the right to renew his contest at any time within a yea el Nl Died of His Injuries. William Eggert, whose perents live at 407 Fell street, snd who was injured last Sunday by diving in‘oshallow weterwhile swimming at Larkspur, died on Friday in the German | Hospital, Some of the bones of his neck were broken.

Moses Mendelssohn Mevers was arrested in San Jose yesterday morning and brought to the City Prison by Detective Crockett, where he was booked on a charge of grand larceny. | Meyers was employed as a piano-player | in the saloon at 238 O’Farrell street, and & | few days ago Mrs. Sadie Rodgers, a resi- dent of San Jose, en aged & roum 1n the lodging-house overhead. She became ac- quainted with Meyersand Thursday after- noon she sent him to a drugstore to get some 1edicine for her.

About 20’clock she went out for a walk and when she returned in two hours she missed the diamond jewelry, which had been abstracted from the siipper. She notified the police and Detectives Bee and | Harper found a diamond ring which Meyers had pawned.

This classical selection from the Queen’s English fell from Mr. Bolton’s lips in re- sponse to a query as to what he thought of the indignation meeting held the night before at St. George Hall by those of his | countrymen who intend holding a cele- bration at the Chutes on Monday, the 21st inst. “Those sort of people,” he continued, imply amuse me. In my opinion their action and their ‘indignation’ are too con- temptible for notice. “Did I mean them when I used the ex- pres-ion, ‘the great unwashed?’ | “I havs no response at all to make to that question, because I do—" | Atihis juncture a small boy, who had entered the reverend gentleman’s yard | through the rear gate and bad ruu across 1o the front gate, started 1o make his exit, but he was promptly collared and dragged back just as he set 100t on the sidewalk. “What do you mean b7 running scross my yard in _that fashion?” he asked, *“I won’t permit anybody to do that.” “Please let me go, misier; I won’t harm anything.” “No, you don't,” ejaculated the Rev. Mr. Eolton. I don’t intend that you | shall get in the way of runnin: across my | property in that fashion. Oh, no! You will go back the way you came. And he bad to go back, too, slowly and | with angry, rebellious tears in his eyes. | “As I'said.” continued the speaker, “I do not care what these people say and I have no response to make 1o them at all. If they think tnat my expression, ‘the great unwasbed,’ appiies to them, why, let them take it. If they don’s, all'right, I don't care either way. I have lived | here for seven yesrsand people know me | well enough by this time, anyway. That is all I Lave to say.” | But those on the other side of the fence are not contenied 1o let thiugs go that wey atall. In explanation of their posi- | tion in the matter they have issued the following circular, which is being ex- | tensively distributed here and in Oak- | land: | FXPLANATORY. | Some exvianation as to there being two dis- tuct celeb: ons 18 due 10 those interested. | Ten years ago, prior to the jubilee celebra- | tion in honor of the fiftieth year oi Queen Victoria’s reign, it was unanimously agreed that all funds accruing from tne celebration and donations accepied snould go toward buildicg a British hospital, it being then, as now, the expressed desire of the Queen that | all such efloris sho be toward sileviating suffering. So, as individuals and societies our peojle worked so well that there was s surplus o1 $7000. Toe Victoria Hospital Association was then | formed and incorporated for tie sole purpose of carrying out these plans; but nothing fur- ther was done. Affairs finally merged into the hands ot about nine men, all of whom were_members of either the British Benevo- ent Society or the S irew’s Socicty, who ually decided orge and the St. George and a.ed 10 the courts to prevent <s and unpriucipied & misappropriat g represented (o the court 1cipal was to be held in tr even tween feties, ignoring v the Sons » her Sco ch societies. tne Scotish that the inte used, ex-Judge Le the injunction sued ior aua thus allowed this great wWrong to be consummated, Time has not removed the intense feeling aroused by this act of injustice and at the first ng called by the British Consul to ar- jor the coming ceiebration in Juue & | demand was made for the return of the money 1o the original fund, and 10 which should bs added the profits irom the coming ce ebration and a British hospital erected. This was re- fused, with the sarcastic addition that “they would be pleased 10 receive any further sum and place it with the rest.” Immediately ujon the receipt of this it was decided to di- | vide any surplus arising from this celebration | between toe British societies participating, | and thus prevent s repetition of such a dis. graceful steal as thatof ten years ago. A few of the leading memb 'rs of the British Benevolent and tne St. Andrew’s societiis were strongly in favor of ‘an exclusive ban- quet, at the Palace Hotel only; but the eral ‘comm itee dec ded upon s popular cele. bration. Then, finding themselves not in sympathy with tnat boy, they ““bolted” and organized a rival demonstration on exactly the same as (hose insisted on by the gen- er.1 commiitee. | This seceding body, though advertising]thetr c:lebration as being for the benctit of the Vie- n, have deciared th it they have no iutention (now or t any time) of erecting s British hospital.

But that one Scotch societs, and & smull oneat that, should take half is obviously uninst. The general committee, in its offi-i] charac- | well-known actor. ter, has done everything—snort of what they | claim would be dishonest—to harmonize this warring 1action. . However, all_this does no: prevent our hayv- ing the most splendia and successful celebru- tion ever participated in by our peopie. Abso- lute harmony has prevailad among the gen- eral commitiee since toe “‘colters” boltel.

By order of the g ral committee. THE QUEEN—GOD BLESS HER. In addition they had a jubilee ode pre- pared to be sung at their celebration. Not even in this detail ure they wiiling to take a back seat from the other side. It has been written by Charles W. Pope, ihe grand president of the Pacific Coast Juris- dicticn, Order Sons of St. George, wha wrote the ode ten yeals ago at the fifty- year celebration. It will be read at the Chutes on Mon- day, Jure 21, by George Osbourne, the Osbourne, by the way, is proud to state that he is the grandson of a British admiral. The ode reads as follows: HAIL SOVEREIGN QUEEN.
