THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JULY 35, 1897. ¢ | FEW VETERANS WILL BE ABSENT But Their Mistake Will Be Unnoticed in the Throng. Councilmen Open a Personal Crusade in Favor of Good Streets. Not Enough Fusionists COould Be Found to Organize a Bryan Parade. Sl e LR | OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCIECO CALL.] 908 Broadway, July 4. To-morrow there will be a few gaps in the runks of the Grand Army as the parade passes through the streets, These ps will not be caused by death, but be- se of some political aifferences that etween Mayor Thomas and a few members of the G. A. B. This attempt to spoil the effect of an independence day parade is to be deplored, for certainly versonal, petly, political pique shouid have no place in a Fourth of July parade. Such conduct Is & tacit admission that | personality is p mount to patriotism, | and such an sdm is certainiy un- an bonorable soldier. ng certain old soldiers — as ad a perfect right 10 do—showed a rence for an independent candidate Mayor and ovenly worked against Thomas. This matter was very setiled at the polls. Now the s been opened wider, and be- cause Mayor Thomas is taking a promie nent part in to-morrow’s parade his po- litical enemies have refused to march in the parade. Even if the Mayor has not made some sppointments that others ex- pected there is & good reason why he has not done so, He was elected on a Repub- lican platiorm that definitely states that Re licans should be retained in of- fice so ng as they were capable. This piank has been carried out, and although fidelity to it may have caused some disap- pointment to office-hunters, this surely is not & good reason why a Fourth of July | parade should be snubbed. To-morrow’s parade is not a tribute of respect to Mayor Thomas; it is not an ex- ition of Oakland Republicanism; it is | got up for the amusement of small s or politicians. Itis a citizens’ decla- on of loyalty to tue flag that will be ried at its head and that will wave ciple of the pageant is infinitely or 10 persons or party, and is one | few occasions—perhaps the only one, except Kebruary 22—on which all Americans can unite in one common de- monstration of love of country. It is greatly to be rezretted that there area few honorable veterans in this city who view this matter differently. of the 1t ever Oakland is to have good streets there must be a change in the spirits of some property-owners. As sooh as the Street Buperintendent publishes a notice f his intention to have certain street vork done a protest is put in, and if it comes from a majority of the frontage the work cannot be done. Superintendent Miller is undoubtedly in earnest and has stied the Council that he 1s anxious to ve good slreets because such a policy is ght. But on every band he meeis with opposition. Last week's meeting was a fair example of the opposition of the property-owners, y This opposition has no reasonable foun- dation. Tne protestants were informed that to tix the streets abreast of their property would not exceed 2 cents per square foo!, now that the city owns the L y machinery for plowing and 1g. For a twenty-five-foot lot this a cost $5 only, and yet thers are ma- i protests in ugainst having the work done on some of the worst blocks in the city. One men, who said he was a real e-tate dealer, said he would not have done if it only cost 3{ of & cent & square He wanied the street raiiroad to tix their tracks first, and Councilman Fibush told him that the law required the railroads to keep their portion in as good condition as the rest of the street. Mr. sh also offered to put up a bond that tracks should be repaired as aoon as properiy-owners did their share, but is would mot induce the protestant 1o iraw. Such opposition certainly de- s another name. protests have been laid over at vresent, and the committee are at work trying to show the protestants the error ye, and already some have met “The idea is prevalent,’ said Mr. Miller, “that if we do any street work it will ruin the property-owners. Such is not the case, and to show my confidence in the matter I will give each owner a guarantee, if necessary, that the work abreast of his yproperty shall not exceed byl cent the mate I place upon it. Sureiy nothing e can be expected, except they want me to pay jor the work of my pocket.” Christian Eadeavor day in Oakland is going to be a great success. All sects sna classes have ¢ mbined efforts for the occa- | sion and the 13th of July will be truly a memorable day. During the past couple | of years there has been noticeable a drcp- ping of the close'y defined iines which bound Oaklanders. On all great occa- sions, whers the benefit of all is con-| cerned, people are now inclined to join | hand in band and something is accom. | plished. There is no raligious bearing on | ihe visit of the Endeavorers. to -this city. | It is a day of pleasure snd entertainment extended to a vast lodge of worthy men and women, whom we wish toimpress with the fact that this isa better place than the Bast. This is neither the duty of an evangelist nor a tradesman, It is the privilege of all tu set forth in the most at- tractive manner the many charms and advantages of Oakland and this will be done next week. The managers of the Bryan reception next Tuesday did wisely in not attempt- ing to get up a parade in his honor next Wednesday. Indeed, it would be a hard matter to know who and what could be found to make a parade in Mr. Bryan's honor. Sines the fusion fiasco last No- vember, and the handsome Republican majority in tkis county, fusionists have been rapidly seeking cover and free sily r has hardly even been mentioned. Of cour<e a large crowd will gather at Lincoln Plaza 10 hear the macnetic speaker; butthey will not be Populists or Democrats, but mostly people who will irom curiosity want to see and hear the muan who engineered a Presidential boom at a National convention in his own favor with an imaginary crucifixion on a golden cross. As Oakland has now a fine boom- g programme in view for the next week, includine the opening of the ex- position, the Fourth celebration, “C. E.” day, and some local plays by amateurs, Mr. Bryan's visit would seem 10 be 8 very timely atiraction. £ruarT W. Boorn. Audden Death of Mys. H. Z. Awstén.

OAKLAND, CaL, July 4—Two more new piays from California were recently produced with much success at the Chi- cago Conservatory of Music and Dramatic Art. This conservatory now claims to be the most extensive school of music and act- ing in the country, and the best equipped, with a staff of thirty-five instructors, in- such specialists as Clarence Eddy, Frederick Grant Gleason, Willlam H. Sherwood, 8. E. Jacobsohn, ete. The dramatic department is under the direction of Miss Anna Morgan, and each week of the season her pupils appear be- fore large audiences in the Auditorium Theater. Iy is hare that new dramatic writers, whose work merits it, are given tbeir first hearing. A Will and a Way,” a one-act comedy by John Chetwood Jr., the Francisco attorney, was so well received that a longer form of the play was re- quested. 71he comedy is founded on a very amusing legal complication in one of Grant Allen’s short stories. After the comedy came ‘“An Experi- ment in Hypnotism,"” dramatized from a siory by Conan Doyle, which scored a decided success. its origin to the *'Carivie Extension Club,” which flourished in Oakland a year or so ago. The members of the club devoted an evening to Conan Doyle and 1wo of its members, Miss Pendleton and Mr. Chetwood, dramatized one of his stories for the occasion.

OAKLAND, Ca July 4.—"Oakland Five Hundred” has been formed of seve- ral prominent fraternal workers of this city for the purpose of encouraging fra- ternity among its members. The members are pledged to patronize each other as far as practicable; a strict observance of the truth will be required, and each man’s word must be equal 10 his bond. The members receive no benefits unless in distress. The officers serve without any recompense whatever. All but the first twenty-five members will be obliged to pass through a formal initiatory work, which issaid to be second to none in the State. Entertainments will be given for the benefit of some wortny cause, the net proceeds of which will be regularly donated to some charitable pur- pose. Speaking of the purposes of the Five Hundred Secretary Hecht said: * Our recompense for our services is 1n the knowledge that we are doing good to our fellow-man, and thereby gain the respect and ¢.nfidence of those around and about us. We see that our dead receive a de- cent burial and provide for our widows and orphans, The fact thata man be- longs to the Oakland Five Hundred shail be sufticient g of anoble spirit.” OALLED TO LONDON.

TERRIBLE BEYOND IMAGINATION An Appalling Picture of the Indian Famine by One Who Knows What It Is. ALAMEDA, CaL., July 4—Vadakunnu Deretegayam David, the native Indian | missionary, who is in California to attend the Christian Endeavor Convention, says that the present condition of India, plagne and famine-stricken as it is, is worse than we can imagine. Rev. Mr. David is a Hindu by birth, and for over filteen years has fraveied all over India .n_d Ceylon holding missionary services. His headquarters now are at Colombo, in Ceylon, and his district covers a large part of Southern India. *The country affiicted by famine and plague,” said he, ‘‘includes nearly one- fourth of all India. It isa tremendons section of country and there are thousands and thousands of people in misery. ‘‘The center of the plagie and famine district is Bombay, and all Northern India suffers. I have not been there dur- ing the present famine, but I have seen smaller ones in past s and I know what the suffering is, ‘The people are poor almost beyond your conception, and they are without means of sustenance. They live from hend to mouth, and they all depend on tueir crops for livine. When the crop fails then comes famine and plague. They are all improvident and msake n Erovniun for the future. There comes d year and thousandsof them die one r the other. here are two or three causes for the present famine. In the first place, last season there was a drought jor months. Then came heavy rains late in the year, and there was no chance for a crop. Busthels and bushels of grain were rotted ?n%-poilnd and the people left without jood. ‘‘The land f overcrowded even in good years, but in bad there is not food enough for thousands of people. Then the Gov- ernment destroyed plague-infected grain that the natives had stored away by the ton. These facts are responsible for the shortage in the food supp'y of Northern India. “The famine and plague together form an awful problem for the English Govern- ment to deal with. They are making herotc efforts to cure, but I fear in vain. ‘ There are 80 many people to help and they are o helpless. They are in a con- dition of abject poverty and it (akes mil- lions of money to aid them. The plague and the famine seem to be growing faster than the Government can handle them. The supplies and money from Christian lands do immeasurable good, but they cannot reach all. “I cannot see anything short of a divine miracle which ean save Northern India in less than a year. If next September the Tains come at the proper time jt will give a chance to plant crops, and it will do much to drive out the plague, but the famime will still be there. ¥ *It will be several months now before there will be any crops, and meanwhile the famine will go on and on. “‘There is no possibility of a native re- volt on account of plague or famine. The leaders among the natives know that English rule 1s the best thing for all In- dia, and there will be no second Indian mutiny. The ignorant men of the lower classes resent, perbaps, the destruction ol their plague-infected awellings and food, but they are too quiet to rise in insuirec- tion. The disturbances are only local and of no serious consequence at all. “England is doing well by India. She is giving India the blessingso!f a Christian government. Then there are ti mmense benefits of great sanitary works and drain. age canals, besides railroads. “‘England does her best by India, but as long as India is not Christian it will be subject to plague and ‘amine. Just as long as there is no Christian spirit of con- gideration and love for their neighbors India will suffer.” | Presbyterian Church on the convention | Rev.

They Caused Him to Be Mistaken for Sergeant Morrison, OAKLAND, CAr., July 4 —There is con- siderable interest being shown in the story published this morning about the capture of a police officer who was doing detective work in disguise. The man with the rubber shoes and the long whiskers was not Sergeant Morrison, but Captain Wilson. The two officers are somewhat alike and each has a mustache. ‘When Uaptain Wilson should have been at home Friday night, it being Captain Fietcher's wateh, he disguised himself so effectually that some thought he was Sergeant Morrison, and Officer Williams took him as a suspect. Captain Wilson was working out some iittle plot of his own, and no one knew he was on duty. Sergeant Morrison, who has recently been promoted for efficiency, was watch- ing the arrival of the Ohristian Endeavor specials at the time Captain Wilson was wearing whiskers, e BERKELEY'S FOURTH.

ALAMEDA, Car, July 4—The Bush- nell Aterts of Alameda defeated the West- overs of Oakland by a score ot 16 to 0 to- day at the Alameda baseba!l grounds. The game was enlivened by a little free- for-all fight at the end of the seventh inning, which resulted in the arrest of Frea Thompson on a charge of battery. The trouble began when Hammond of the Alerts tossed a lump of dirt at one of the crowd who was guyins him as he stood on thecoaching fine. The man was intoxicated and he resented Hammond’s action and started in to hammer the ball- player with his fists,. Hammond gave as good as he got and the friends of both sides jumped iato the row.

Young Marines Man Her Guns and Brighten Her Brass, The Naval Battalion Goes on a Jaunt on the Bay in the Ironclad Moniitor. It was but slow time the old Camanche made to ber anchorage off California City. It took her four hours to make the trip, but when a vessel has lain asleep for thirty years she cannot be expected to run like a greyhound when her engines get going. She anchored off California City about 12 o’clock Saturday night, and she lay there all Sunday, and will do so until this morning. Being Sunday but little was done, but there was a talute to the flag, acall to quarters and a bit cf boat practicc in the afternoon—the last, however, being the result of an uncontrollable desire to swim which seized some of the boys. Affairs on board are getting into ship- shape. The men are divided into messes, and there is not more than one kick from each table. Yesterday it was the beans, They were not cooked enough or were not hot enough, or something, and so the purely nautical privilege of a naatical kick was indulgea in. The run up the bay' to the anchorage was made without a hitch beyond the rather close visitation of a ferry-boat, which, not expecting the old monitor to wander from her resting place off Folsom street, ran closer to her than rules of the road maritime recommend. Had she struck the iron sides of the old Camanche, the crowds of Christian Endeavorers on her decks would have received a wet wel- come to the sunset shores. Captain L. H. Turner, commander ot the battalion, was in command. He needed no pilot and no advice. Heisa master mariner, and his pilot’s license hangs in his stateroom in the old moni- tor's forehold, Lieutenant W. H. Gunn, the navigating officer, had charge of the moorings, in slipping the buoy and com- ing to anchor, and the men of the reserve did all the work. to the battalion, except Ensign Stiarns of the gunboat Bennington, detailed by the Navy Department to see how sallors for pastime and not by profession handle a lighting machine. Watches—regular ship watches—were commenced at 12 o’clock Baturday night, and from that time on the routine of a United Btates warship has and will be carried out. The station billet of each man had been carefully made out and h man was regularly assigned tos a position on a gun, aplaceina boat and a duty 1n any and every emer- gency. Ata quarter of 12 to-day peneral quar- ters were sounded and ai 12 twenty-one guns were let go in hanor of the tri-colored ensign broken out at the stern. The engineer corps is the hardest worked division on the ship—that is, outside of the cooks—for the men have appetites that rank only with the capacity of the furnaces for coal. But the engineer’s di- vision does good work with theantiquated machinery the monitor boasis of, and to Lieutenant Christy and his officers and men is due much of the success of the trin. To-morrow will be & day of work. The | boats will be called away and boat drill will consume a great many of the hours | of daylight. There will be drill at the guns, too, and ‘‘abandon ship” and “fire quarters’’ and drills of every kind, and the limit to it all will be the setting of the sun. To-morrow annlnf; the Camanche will return to her moorings, but she will not stay there. Eachi day during this week she will crnise around, and Saturday even- ing she will again sink into the rest she has enjoyed so lon The cobwebs will form over the muzzles of her oid smooth- bores, her turrets will collect mold, the soot and grime of the water front, the barnacles will cling in greater bunches over her iron bilges, and for another year the Camanche will tug at her moorings and dream of the shadow of war which has been hers.
