Passenger and Freight Rates to Northern Ports Dropped Low:r. Cheaper Now to Travel Than to Stay at Home—The Concord in the Bay. The tramp steamer Cluden arrived yes- terday, a little over 28 days from Hong- kong and 22 days from Moji, Japan. The Pacific Mail Steamship Company is the | ugent, and the big freight-carrier soon tied up to the Maii dock. This is one of several of the kind that is making fast time to this portin order to get in ahead of the time when the new tariff will go into effect. Like two or three of these tramps that have sailed in recently, the | Cluden is londed well down to the waver | line with freight, much of which is likely tobe sent East by rail. The Cluden’s | cargo is principally tea, rice and matting, in all 49,203 packages, or 49.2 tons. This is the first trip of the Ciuden to | this port. She was built at North Shields, England, and launched last December, | and bas a tonnage of 2035 tons net. The | steamer sailed from Cardiff to Hongkong with coal for the British navy and thence to this port. Her master is Captain San- | derson. The same company is also the | agent for the tramp steamer Glenshield, | that is on her way to this port with a sim- ilar mixed cargo. The Glenshield is ex- | pected to arrive next Friday, The fight in freight and passenger rates between this City and Portland and Puget Sound ports still zoes merrily on, and the general public is reaping the benefits thereof.

This | compelled the Pacific Coast Steant-hip Company to come into the fight whether | | it wanted to or not, and it answered by | | lowering its rates to $10 ana $5 for first and second class passenger rates. Then the independent company came | into the field with the steamer Cleveland | | and inade a still deeper gash into_the al- | ready greatly reduced rates, and cut to| §7 50 and 35 for Puget Sound ports on | both sides of tire boundary line.

The | | owner, Robert Carruthers, Captain Cordi- | ner and the cabin-boy were asleep on | board at the time, but they were not | aroused by the entrance of the thieves, | ho ransacked the cabin at pleasure. | The pirates gathered up a large bundle of wearing apparel and made good their es- cape. Mr. Carruthers, among other | things, lost a valuable suit of clothes and the cabin-boy was out several dollars by their visit. ‘Captain Cordiner was more fortunate than the others. The bundle gathered by the thieves was so large that they could not carry it off all at once, so the package was divided, and the portion containing the captain’s garments was left on the stringer of the wharf, where he found them before the rascals could re- turn for their plunder.

Metropolitan Temple Filled With His Enthusiastic Dis- ciples. Elcquent Addresies D:livered by Hon. J. J. Dwyer and Hon Jemes G. Maguire. There was & big gathering of enthusias- tic Celis and Celtic sympathizers last evezing at Metropolitan Temple to do honor to the memory of Theobald Wolf: Tone, Irish patriot and martyr, the occa- sion being the one hundred and thirty- fourth anniversary of his birth. The affair was held under the auspices of the Celtic Union. The hall had been appro- priately dressed for the occasion in the speaker of the evening, the Hon. J. J. Dwyer. He was greeied with prolonged applause. He said: Other nations celebrate their victories, Tre- land celebrates her defeats. Other nations set apart days for the commemoration of their conquests and to do honor tossme hero and conqueror; we with Irish blood flowing in onr veius come together, with a love of our land In our hear:s thatis unspeekabie and reverentiy ¥ a wreath upon the grave of some one of our many martyrs. Our duty is nove the less joble—it does not require’ success to make 1t oly. The speaker then began the story of Wolfe Tone’s life with the question, **Who was Wolfe Tone?"” and answered it to say that, though enshrined as one of her fore- most and indomitable patriots and mar- tyrs, very little is known of the details of his life. Then. with enthusiastic elo- quence, the speaker ran through the his- tory of the patriot from the time he be- gan as a Protestant to work for the emancipation of Irisk Cathoiies, in order that Irishmen of all religious denomina- tions might join in the work of emanci- pating their beloved iand. ‘This was his first_great step,” said the speaker, “and nere I would stop to say: +Perish’ the hand that wouid bring re- ligious dissension into the politics of Ire- land; perish the hand that would bring religious dissension into the politics of any land!”’ He followed the story to the time the hero took his own life o avoid the igno- minions death that Encland would have meted out to him after being captured in battle. In an eloquent peroration the speaker declared the work of Tone was not in vain. It served as a migty and lasting stimu- lus to the end that Ireland shall be free. President Deasy read the letter of pre- sentation of the flag as follows: SAN FRANCISCO, June 21, 1897. | 7o the Chairman and Orators, Wolfe Tone Birth- | day Celebration — GESTLENEN: Please accept this small tribute to the memory of the man THEOBALD WOLFE TONE.

Irish music and patriotic addresses made up the programme, the speakers of the evening being Jeremianh I president of the Celtic Union, Hon. J. Dwyer and Hov. James G. Maguire, Shortly after 8 o’clock Professor Merri- gan touched the keys of the organ and for fifteen minutes the deep, the meiancholy, the lightsoma and tbe merry tones of Ireland’s beantiful songs swelled through the ball. The uniformed company of Red Branch Rifles attended in force. Just before the conclusion of the beauti- ful medley the officers and orators filed upon the stage and were greeted with a burst of applause, Mayor Phelan had_consented to preside at the meeting, but President Deasy read a letier from him dated at Bartleit Springs, in which he begged tke indul- gence of the audience and of the union as the time of his vac had been pressed upon him by his affairs just nowand he | was therefore compelled iobe absent. In his letter he felicitated the union upon | its determination to celebrate the anni- versary and said: 1t 18 said that the progress of freedom has been from seaffold to scaffold and from grave to grave. The death of this patriot is but one of Ireland’s many sacrifices 1o freedom. Ire- | 1and had been the victim of the most galling tyranny, far more grievous than that from the American colonies suffered, and revolution ap) edy.

Yours, respectfully, THE KNIGHTS OF TARA. *Let Erin Remember,” sang John Mec- | Auliffe, and Mattbew Grannan gave a | cornet s0l0, both violently applauded and | encored, and then President Deasy intro- dubed Hon. James G. Meguire as “the people’s champion.” Mr. Maguire said he wished to thank the Celtic Union for the pleasure of ap- pearing on the platform in honor of the | great Irish patriot and martyr, Theobald | Wolfe Tone. He disclaimed any inien- | tion of making a speech, however, but | paid a hign compliment to the address of | Mr. Dwyer, and made a few comments | upon the life work of Wolf Tone. That atriot had taught Irelana a grand lesson. | He had struck for ingividual liberty. He | had shown them that Catholic and Prot- | estant had rights irrespective of their re- | ligious. beliefs. Since Tone’s time Eng- |land has come to_be governea by the | English people. That grand old man Gladstone has enfranchised the masses and the first lesson he taught to the en- franchised people of that country was that justice must be done to Ireland. “I’have but one word more,” said the | speaker. “The English people are to-day celebrating ~ the sixtieth anniversary of Victoria’s reign, but there is a black | page in English history that must be biotted ont before they can fully deserve | the approval of the world; that page is the record of her long and unrelieved in- justice to Ireland.” While the orzan discoursed again in Irish melody the sudience was dismissed, BrEcHAM'S PILLS will dispel the “blues,” ———— A French chemist has invented a blue soep which renders unnecessary the uss of bluing in laundry work. _ DR.

Scuvenirs Presented at the Alcazar to Commemorate “The First Bore’s” Long Life. The Lyceum Theater Stock Company opened its season at the Baldwin Theater last night in *“Tue Prisoner of Zenda,” a play which seems to have lost none- of its fascination since it was presented Lere last fall by a road company headed by James K. Hackett and Isabelle Irving. Hackety again played the triple role of the three Rudolphs, and fought duels, got drunk, made love and braved it out through his desperate impersonation of the king as dashingly as ever. A number of changes have been made io the cast since the road company played “The Prisoner of Zenda,” most of them for the better. In the prologue Elizabeth Tyree was more natural and less “‘hyenaish’” in her laugh thau her predecessor in the role of the Countess of Rassendyll. Edward Morgan wasalsoa more polished villain than his prede- cessor in the partof Rupert’sscheming cousin, and William Courtleigh, if too ing for the part of the Earl of Rassen- managed to enlist some of the sym- pathies of the audience for the betrayed husband. In the play proper Charles Walcot re- veated his well-nigh perfect impersona- tion of that faithiul adherent of royalty, Colonel Sapt; Frank R. Mills proved a sat- isfactory Fritz and Willam ‘Courtleigh was an excellent Captain Hentzau. The chief interest in the cast, however, centered in the first S8an Francisco appear- ance of Mary Mannering, who has been heralded as a great English beauty. It may have been that the red wiz of :he Einbbergs wasnot becoming to her brunette type, but certainly Mary Man- nering as a great beauty was a disap- pointment last night. She is slim and girlish-looking, of medium height, and the only strik.ng feature of her face con- ists of a pair of glorious dark eyes. In compensation for not dazzling the audience with her good looks Miss Man- nering proved her ability to act. The part of Flavia does not contain great possibilities, but such as they are Miss Mannering made the most of them and acted with a naturalness and pathos which charmed her hearers. The third act, with its lonz love scemes, which dragged when presented by Isabel Irving, aroused the greatest enthusiasm, and when the curtain fell there was such a versistent demand for a speech that Hack- ett finally came (0 the footlizhts and ex- pressed the thanks of the company for the kindly reception. The piece was as effectively staged as ever, and even to the smallest role was well acted. Tivoll Opera-House. The Tivoli was packed last night by an auat- ence anxious to welcome back Edward Stevens in “Wang.” Incidentally an excellent per- formance of a comie operetta was given. The eli-round company was a sirong one and the staging and costuming were glittering and effective. When Stevens made his appearance as the eroy of Siam, monnted on the sacred ele- phan:, the further action of the jerformance wes blocked by a persistent demonstration on the par: of the audience. Finally, however, the operetta was allowed to proceed, but at tae end of the first act there was a pe: demand for a speech. Sievens came before the curtain and said: “Ladies and gentlemen—I hope I may say frlends: I suppose I might induige in a great deal of siry persifiage {0 tell you how glad [ am to be home aeain, but I think the plainest lauguage comes from the neart d T will just say I em awfully glad.” Stevens named a number of distinguished comvanies ot which he has oeen a member since going East, and said none of them were equal Lo the old Tivoli compauy of nine years ago.

The play promises to be popa- lar.

Collector Weiburn's O fice Has Too Much Work for the Forcz Allowed Ths System in Vogue at the Cashier’s Desk Is Ancient and Un- businesslike. Yesterday was a busy day with Revenue Agent Thrasher and bis assistants as well as wich Special Agent Sewell of Washing- ton, who is here to investigate Collector Welburn's cflice, as announced exclu= sively in THE CALL yesteraay. It will require many weeks to complete the experting of the books and orders that lie piled up for ten or fifteen feet in the larger office of the department. This work is of the most tedious possible char- acter, as it will involve the careful com- varison of every order with the corre- sponding entry in the books of the de- partment. These orders, and there are hundreds of thousands of them, ars from all parts of the district, and they involve millions of dollars. Those who knew Norton’s babits best are now beginning to tell stories as to his babits in the clubrooms that he fre- quented for years, particularly during the past six months. It is said that his betting was always heavy and nearly always reckless. It is now known that he often went to the Baldwin gambling tables and mingled with heavy bettors, often meeting men whose methods are very sure and whose judgment is almost always cool. The more the affairs of the internal revenue office are studied the more posi- tive is the opinion that there is far too much work for the staff on hand to attend to in asafe and expeditious manner. The Collector was necessarily driven to de- pend grea:ly upon the word of his sub- ardinates, the only escape being the hir- ine of additional clerks, and for this there | is no fund. The office under the present salary is far from being a sinecure, be- | cause the work is great and the respons- | bilities many. The system in vogue at the cashier’s desk is ancient ana unbusi nesslike in every way. There is an internal revenue manual for the use of collectors and other revenue oi- ficers, issued by the Commissioner of In- ternal Revenue. supposed to guide the various branches of the service, but there seers to have been no violation of that code in the office of the Coliector, but all the derelictions seem to have been'in spite of a compliance with the letier of the law, most of them being traceable to a short supply of cierks and the perpetuation of a bungling system at the cashier’s desk. Agent Sewell will to-day approve the accounting as made by Captain Thrasber, after which the account wiil be sent to the Collector of Internal Revenue and the Gevernment will then take steps for the protection bf the loss by appealing to the Collector for a restitution for tbe delin- quencies of his cashier. Some of this ob- ligation will in time fall upon his bonds- men. At the Columbla. “Time cannot wither nor custom stale” the deep henrt interests, the nobe sentiments and stirring patriotism of American drama, “Shenandoah.” On its first production, some eight years ago, the Americsn public immedistely recognized it as one of the few plays that would give our veople a standing in the realms of dramatic literature, The great men of the Nation rose to honor 1t, end the late General Sherman came 1o the front with the famous line that will always adorn its posters—+It should be seen by every American citizen.” Fortu- nately for “Shenandoah,” it 15 a drama that while good actors certainly accentuste its many merils, indiffer. ent ones cannot mar its stirring situstions nor | Deautiful pictures. “Shenandoah” is rather above the heads of the Frawley players. Toey suffice to unfold the thrilling story of the play, but bear not players whose names are so closely identified with its great successes. In dedance of all the rules of dra- matic history Theodore Hamilton, the “old man” of the cast, captured all the honors, leaving Frank Worthing, “leading man’’ of the company, far behind in the race. Hamil- ton’s General Buckihorn was one of ihe finest bits of acting the Columbia patrous have nad for some time.
