T HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL MONDAY 1897 JULY 1 U, D 3 f CONVENTION echo meeting| brought out an audience that filled | Central M. E. Church to overflowing | last evening. Endeavorers crowded | the aisles and gallery until the church was | filled almost to suffocation. Short addresses from visiting pastors | snd brief sentiments from Endeavorers | from various parts of the country took the place of the regular sermon. W. E. Thompson of the decoration com- | mittee was the first speaker. He spoke of the goed attendance of California deavors, 12.000 of the 16,000 members h ing regist Dr. C. E. Kelly followed and dwelt on the influence of the conven- | | tion upon the City. | Rev. Dr. Irwin of Salem, Or., State Su- perintendent of Public Instruction, was the first of the ministersto speak. He | emphasized the power of the l,‘hrisn.w.i religion in social and public iife. Rev. Mr. Morrow of Randolph, Vt., fol- Jowed, calling attention to the interde- nominational fellowship of the meeting as a sien of the growing uaity of churches. Rev. Mr. Sigler of Los Angeles insisted upon the enduring influences of the con- | r so volunteer speakers fol- lowed each other in rapid succession in an open psrliament on the theme, *What impres-ed me most in the convention, and what is the best thing I obtained from it to carry home?” At the conclusion of the discussion Dr. Dille made a brief address, in the course of which he re is something something g: , somethingg which was uls and a stra es to our ea than h than that great coucert vision of hexven to our s the eternal harmo our experiences, ,are only for thi o do our work in ¥l ice closed with all the Endeav- g and repeating the clause of vor pledge Trusting 1n the Christ for strength I promise whatever be would like to have Lessons of the Endeavor Convention. HE good resulis of the Clristian Endesvor Convention was the sub- ject of a sermon delivered to a crowded bouse by the Rev. George C, ms yesterday morning at the First Congregational Church. He took his text tfrom Matthew xi:l5, *‘He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” In his introduction the pastor explained that there were several kinds of hearing— the hearing of the physica! ear, mental heariny and the hearing of the spirit. It is with the hearing of the mind and soul, he said, that we must listen for the deep lessons taught by the Christian Endeavor movement and their visit here. He divided this teaching heads. First, “Cnaracter.”’ The Christian Eadeavorers who came | here were, as to cnaracter, the pick of the churches they came to represent. In illus- tration of the confidence which could be piaced in them, he toid how the keeper of & voarding-house accommodated a large | number of them without asking any one to pay in advance. Their badge was a guarantee of honor. In this worth of char- acter they taugint the lesscn that such should be typical of the whole church. The second lesson was unity. They demonsirated how a strong and harmo- nious union could exist without the sun- dering of denominational ties Third—Great value of organization was illstrated by the Endeavorers. The ef- ficient work of the various committee: which labored many weeks in advance n order that the convention proceedings might move smoothly, was Lighiy com- | mended and held up as an example for | general emulation. The fourth head was spiritual power, | and this was shown to depend upcn the application of the other turee lessons. The Holy Spirit does not work by chance, but by the application of means to ends. ol s He Bade Them a i Touching Farewell. | Right Rev. Bishop Alexander Waters, ‘who is about to remove to Jersey Cit preached his farewell sermon at the A, M. E. Zion Church on Stockton street iast night. He took his text from Isaiah Ixii:5, *“Go through the gates; prepare yvou t way for the people; cast up the highway; gather up the stones; lift up the standa- | ard.” He took the command of the| prophet in its literal sense, and saia that when it was delivered it meant the pre- | paration of the way for the children of srael, but that now it meant for the pres- ent generation to prevare the way to sal- vatlion, and said that those who were to open tbe gates must first know the way by bavieg gone through themselves. He said: No one can console the sorrowing until they bave sorrowed, aud none can lead the Way lo righteousness until they themseives are righteous. To do good in this world you inust have the key to the Learts of the people. The ate of intellectual- ity is the gate that must be opened for this race before 1t could obtain its richiful place, end the curse of inefliciency is keepiig it back. He denounced those teachers who could not give thelr hearts to their work and de- nounced those preacher-who, after failing at everyining eise in life, b-came preact- ers through their own seifishness and not through th ir love of good works or love of God. Citing numerous incidents of good work done by those who had experi- ence, he declared that all the efforts of those who did not feel what they talked would be of no avail in behalf of their fel- lows. He zalled upon all to give them- eelves unselfishly to the Lord and bade the congregation fareweil in words full of pathos and earnestness, - Raising the Dbt For a Weak Church. ISHOP WHESLEY JOHN GAINES, B vresiding Bishop of the Eleventh Episcocal district of the A. M. E. church, preached at Bethel A. M. E. churcn last night and exhorted all to come for- ward and testfy for God. He preached from tbe words of Christ, *‘Blessed are the meek for they shaliinherit the earth.” He called upon the congrezation to raise $500 and interest, and promised that if they would do so he would use his great- est efforts to raise another $1000 for them. He also urged them to to the pastor into four | | | | THODRTHREE ATHERED . | men | B i i | | J him and called upon the church to send to t next conference up to the standard of last year. He made a strong vlea for converts, but none went forward. His sermon was strong and brought many respon:es from the congzregation as he pleaded with them in a magnetic manner. He preached in Oakland in the morning, and will go from hers to Los Angeles and return here in_two wecks, when he will meke another effort to get the church out of its heavy debt. The Story of Eden. A Divine Allegory. Rev. J. 8. David of the Swedenbore Mis- sion Society lectured on ‘“The Garden of Eden’ at the Hall of the Academy of Sciences Iast evening, at the invitation of the San Francisco Theosophical Society. He said in substance: HE story of Eden is a divine allegory, every word of which is fuil of the deep- esi spiritual wisdom. We utterly fail to perceive its heavenly -ignificance ii we regard ‘t as a mere geographical location, with trees and rivers of earth. This garaen was a state of the soul, a “Goiden Age” of ce- lestial wisdom aud innocence whnich conm- ued through 1 thousands of yearsdur- s the infancy of the human race. This age was 1o the history of mankind on this vplanet wuat iniancy is to the lifetime of an indivia- ual. The tree of lie in the miast of the gar- den is the Lord, who is always ‘‘in the midst,” being the inmost and central fountain of life 10 every individual and to the universe. To eat of this trec is to live in harmony with God, which 1s life eternal. There is another trea—the tree of the knowl- edge of good aud evil. Where does it grow? A physicai tree cannot bring forth knowleage, 50 itis & tree of the mind—the lower mind—in the outskirts of the garden of God. Man w the tree of life to the iree of kne ze of good and evil when he ceases 1o realize God ns the one life and seeks know o ige and nappiness on the plane of the senses. The serpent in the garde: is the sensuous na- ture which looks wholly to earth for iis suste- orderly and uscfu. waen subor- nauce. dinated and kept in its proper plac:, but it becomes a diserderly thing when it is allowed | to drag down the higher nature under the aominion of the senses. The “fall of man’ ual descent of the primeval race calm of sensuous loves and thoughts and thence mto gross selfisaness and dark- ness. But man is now on the ascent. The go:den age of the future, growing out of in- tumerable and endlessly’ variea experiences, will far transcend the golden age of the past, and the tree and river of life, which disap- peared witi the descent from Eden, will re- appear in the holy city—the new Jerusalem. o Our Duties After the Great Convention. At Calvary Presbyterian Church last night the Rev. Ur. Hemphill took for his topic, *‘After the Couvention, What?" He sroke in part as follows: HE '97 convention is a thing of the past. Yet in & very important sense it is & | thing of the present and of the future. 1t was & glorious affair. The splendid hospitality of California, the completeness uf the committee work, and the way in which it was carried out, il xpoke for Christianity. The high standard of the speeches, the stand- ing by the unmutilated Bible and the cardinal doctrines of the church, the deepening of the feeling for missionary work, the brotherly eling that was manifested, were appreciated 2li who hed eyes to see, ears (o heaf and henrts to fecl. Now, what are our duties following the great convention? Christuanity never was so great, so respectaple, 1u tie eyes of Califor- nians as it 1s w0-day. Shall we take the splen- did opportunities now offered us or shall we lose them? Remember, “lost opportunities do not come again.” Suppose people think that if they do wall and make no_trouble in the church to which | they belong that isall that is to be expected of them. God has placed us in this worla for two things, to be good and to do good. Broth- ers in the Lord, 1 ask you to be up and doing. Make hay while the sun shines. Take the spirituai tide at the flood; work, work, work There is not o much time todo good i death is neurer than you imagine. This m | be the lest sermon I shail preach to you; this may be the last sermon _that some of you may hear me preach. All the money in the world will not save you from death. Over in that pew, before he “acquired his millions, used 10 sit & man who aled yesterday; his money availed him not. Belter deysare coming for Christ. Iheard it in the glad shouts of the Eudeavorers. Through the mists of morning, which many mistake for the glooms of night, I see the sun of righteousness climbing. *Saved by Hope.” Sermon by Dr. Case. At (he Howard-street Methodist Epis- copal Church yesterday morning Dr. Case, the pastor, preached on the text, Romans viii:24, “‘Saved by Hope.” He spoke of the universality of hope; that as sorrow is universal, so also is hope. He said: IF one cover the earth with shade the other floods it with light. Hope xprings eternal in the human breast. Itenters the darkest dungeon, penetrates the gloomiest prison and wins its way to the most wretched bosom. Hope is not prized as it should be, for the rea- son that {amiliarity breeds indifierence. Air, water, food, health, are not prized so long as they are pientiiul,’ So hope is not valued ex- cept when we coutrast it with despair. The Bible speaks of false hope. The hope of the wicked shall perish. Christian hofe is the iruit of the Holy Spirit of God. We abound in hope through the power of God. Prisoers of hope are entreated 10 him to their stronghoid, which is God. “The name of the Loid isa strong tower. The righteous runneth into it and s sate.” Take every hope. Garfield was shot, and the surzeon ssid tnere was one chence in @ hundred for his recovery. I will take tnat chance,” seid the suffering Presi- dent; “do your bes. to saye me.’’ He strug- gled hard for three months, but succumbed at last. Let ustake our chance, even though it seem 10 be only one in a hundred, and do our best 10 secure eternal life ABOUT 4 ADD-OFF, House and Senate Compromise on the Auaar Schedule. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 18.—Ac- cording to the figures of Representative Swanson of Virginia, a member of the Ways and Means Committee, Speaker Reed and the House conferees Lave not won much of a victory after all over the Benate on the sugar schedule. He figures that whereas the differentin! per 100 pounds was 36} under the Dingley bill as it passec the House, which the Senate raised to 44, it is by agreement of the conferees now fixed at 40)4. Thus in the “‘compromise” the House yielded a frac- tion more than did the Senate. —_——— Mrs. Lease Wants to be Governor. TOPEKA, Kaxs, July 18, —Mrs. Mary E. Lease wants to succe=d Leedy as Gover- nor of Kansas. She confided to % friend here yesterday that she would make the race and ask the Popuiist State Conven- tion to name her for governor next year. There is nothing in the constitution to prevent a woman from holding the goy- ernorship. ——— Deaths From Paralysis. SAN MATEO, Car, July 18—Two deaths from paralysis occurred here to- day. Mrs. Herbst, wile of John Herbst, a well-known merctant, and daughter of Assemblyman Goodhue, was stricken early this morning and died this evening. Mr. Tucker, a painter who received a stroke several davs ago, expired to-day. It is commented on as remarkabi there should be thres deaths h:u.flx:: pa; of the church what had gun promised paralysis within twenty-four hours, NOTES FOR THE NATIONAL GUARD Some Carelessness That Causes Many Vexa- tious Delays. The Routine That There Will Be in the Camp of the Fifth Regiment, What the Signal Corps of the Third Brigade Is Going to Do—Items of the Naval Militia. Troop A, Captain Jenks, has been on prac- tice march through Marin and Sonoma coun- ties and while on the march the men per- formed some of the ordinary drills. W. H. Borle has been commissioned first lieutenant and commissary of the Sixth Regi- meut of Iniantry, Third Brigade. Jefferson E. Doolittle,lieutenant-colonel and ald-de-camp onjthe staff of Governor Budd, has been granted leave to absent himself from the State. Gross carelessness on the partof those who have the makine up of reportsend papers that have to be forwarded to the adjutant-gen- eral’s office is the source of much annoyanc and delay. The papers have to be sent back for revision and that occasions vexatious de- lays. The Legislature at the session held in the early part of the year authorized the estab- lishment of sanitary corps for the National Guard and made an appropriation that is just enough to meet the expenses of placing the corys in working order, but made no provis- ions for quarters The board of officers of the First Regiment, Second Brigade, having had its atteniion drawn to this matier, at 8 meet- ing heid-last Thursday, decided to tender to the sauitary corps that will be attached to the regiment the use of an office in the regimentar armory at Page and Gough streets and aiso the use of thedrill hall for the purpose ot drilling the men who will be enlisted in the corps. The First Regiment, Second Brirade, has almost completed all its arrangements for the camp at Ukiab. Itis expected that there will be n larger daily average attendance than th-re has been at any previous camp. From orders issued from regimental head- quarters, Fifth Infantry, Second Brigade, it appears ‘that there were recentiy discharged fitieen men from the regiment—four on ac- couit of removal, two at expiration of term of service, three upon & (wo-thirds vote of the company, and six for good of the service. The eight companies of the Fifth Infantry lett_on Saturday uight for Camp Shefter at Santa Cruz, via the narrow-gauge. The com- panies from Petaluma, San Rafael, Santa Rosa and Nupa reported at the narrow-gauge ferry in this City to Captain D. A. Smith, adjutaut; the companies from Oaklaud and Alameda re- ported st Oskland, and tne company at San Jose reported st that place. The companies reached camp at midnignt. The following is the camp routine during the time the regiment is to remain in camp: First enll, 5:30 A. M. ; reveille, 5:45; break- fast, 6:15; police cal sick ca l, 7:30; in- spection of csmv, 7 drill, first call, 8; drill, sembly, 8:15; recall, 10:30; first ser- parade call, s call, 11:30; lunch, 12 4:45 p.).; assembly, 5; guard mount after parade; dinner, 6:15: retreat, sunset; tattoo, 10; taps, 10:30. No drills on Sunday. The color-iine detail wili be posted after the drill in the morning, and the color-line senti- nels will be withdrawn at 4:45 p. M. 1t is expected that the camp wiil be visited by Major-General James and staff, and that Brigadier-General Shaiter, for whom the camp was nemed, wili also pay the National Guards- men in camp a visit. Each of these officers will be tendered a review. The following changes haye been made in the Fiith Regiment Iufantry, Second Brigade: Corporals G. L. Holton, Company B, and A. Born and J. M. Masten of Company G have been promoted sergeants. Privates A. F. Hoff, B. H. Elliott and K. E. Hopp have been ap- pointed corporals. - Corporal C. L. Learn, Com- Enny A, has beer reduced at his own request. Sorporal S. P. Yost has been reduced to the ranks. Twelve men of Company A, Sixth Infantry, Third Brigade, Captain William R. Johnson, and a like number of Company B, Captain William Bruce, same regiment, have been cited to aprear before a court-martial to- morrow at Stockton for trial for disobedience of orders in failing to parade on the 5th of July and neglect to attend drills. The result of these trials will be watched with a great deal of interest. Signal Corps, Third Brigade. SBACRAMENTO, CAL., July 17.—The Signal Corps, Third Brigade, 1s making very active preparations for its camp, which commences on the 22d inst. A communication by telephone from Briga- dier-General Muller to Major Douglas, siznal officer, received last Monday, created a good deal of consternation among the members. The message was to the effect that the general wanted his signal corps with him at Santa Cruz on the 15th of August, along with the rest of the brigade. On receipt of this in- formation Major Doaglas immediately com- municated with Lieutenant Fred L. Martin, who at the meeting last Tuesday night fully discussed the matter. The history of the whole affair was gone into, and it was shown that the men were acting under instructions received by wire from Lieutenani-Coionel Miles, division signal officer, June 20, to the effect that there would be no division camp for signal corps, and for Mujor Douglas to iu- struct_Lieutenant Martin 1o go ahead and make his own camp arrangemen ts. Acting in good faith and in accordance with these instructions the corps immediately com- menced & thorough canvass of the situation. The most convenient time for the members to be absent, most suitable location for encam- ment, etc., were thoroughly discussed, and the understanding in both™ committee and oven meetings was that the camp be held about the middle of July and at sume point in toe mountaius, in order that all faciities for heliographing and other signal work be taken advantage of. At the meeting Tuesdsy night Major Doug- 1as explained the situation, and said that Geu- eral Mulier, though very much disappointeda to learn that such arrangements nad been made, would not act arpitrarily in the matter, especially if matters were fully explained to him, and would doubtiess give his sanction to the camp the men themselves propose. The report of the commillee on camp was then adopied: That, sulject to instructions from the brigndier-general the corps go into camp in the vicmity of Summit, commencing July 22, and returning to Sacramento on the 1stof Angust. The corps has decided to name its camp “Camp Dougles.” in honor of its popular sig- nal officer, Major W. W. Douglas, Depnty State Controiler. On account of the distance from Sacramento the corps has decided to ride one way ouly and will ship its horses to Summit on Wednes- day evening, the members following on Thurs- day. The ride back will commence about Fri- day, the 29th, bringing the corps back home about Sunday, August 1. A fuil attendance of twenty men is assured, which would not have been the case had the men gone 1o Santa Cruz, and 1t is very likeiy that the corps will com: ck with much more knowledge gnined in the way of genuine camp life and signai work than they would shouid they go to brigade encampment. The facilities for signaling in the mountains are uniimited aud squads will be sent outon a day’s march from camp to open up communication with a squad that has gone in another direciion, thus placing them two days’ march apart. Pistols, carbiues, targets and ammunition will also be taken upand the men will no doubt be greatly benefited. Licutenant Martin, however, believes in the old maxim that “All work and no olay wiil make Jack (or Tommy Atkins)a dull boy,” and will see that his commend is provided with plenty of amusement. A beseball outfit aud footbail will be taken up; the lovers of the rod are raking up their old tackle, and those who prefer other game are polishing up shotguns sud rifles. THE CALL has made arrangements with the quariermaster-sergeant Lo receive a number of setters while the men are in camp, whicn will doubless prove interesting to the military men of the State. B The Naval Militia. The naval militia at this port can do only shore duty, as the vessel assigned to them— the Camancbe—is still at Mare Island waiting an opportunity to go into the drydock for general overhauling. It is mot known yet what will be done beyond cleaning her bot- tom and possibly giving her a coat of paint. 5 To-morrow night there will be a drill on the ock. During the recent cruise the men, it is said. d1d remarkably well, learning their specific duties in short order, and before the close of the cruise they did so well that thev were spoken of in t-rms oi praise by tne United States naval officer who went on the cruise. Captain Turner, the commander of the mi- litia, came in aiso for some o1 the prase. It is said that when he brought the vessel (o the buoy off Mure Isdand. where she was (o be moored, he made the best “landing’ that has ever been made there. Whileon tie cruise one of the men fell overboard accidentaily, and, notwithstand- ing that the sea was rough, 8 boat was got out, manned and the man rescued in less than a minute and a quarter. The man, who could notswim, stated, after he was jurnished with dry clothing, that the moment ne struck the water that he recoliected hiving read in a newspaper that if a man who does not know how to swim will close the nostrils with the thumb and tinger oi one hand and hild the other hand above his head ne wiil not sink. _He said he tried that end discovered that he did not sink. It is probable that at the election to be held on the 31s( ins:. Tnomas M. Shuw, command- ing the Third division at Sun Diego, will be elected executive officer. Captain Lutreil, a well-known vigator, who recent y gave up going to sen, will, it is though!, be chosen as the n.vigating officer. Capiain Turner will short.y organize tue on- gineer force for the monitor, and when he does those who served during’ the cruise wilt be assigned to the positions they held during the trip. NEN AT THE RANGE Companies That Are Waiting to Engage in Target Practice at the Presidio. Improvements at Fort Mason, Where Brigadier-General Shafter Will Reside—Change at Alcatraz. The two companies, F and G, First Infantry, commanded by Captain Starr and Lieutenant Croxton, respeciively, are still at the range at the Presidio, engaged in target practice, and it is probable that they will conclude the task assigned them by Tuesday. During the latter part of the week the companies were engaged in firing at the sithouettes by squad, in skir- mish line and by company. This manner of shooting is considerably st variance with the o0ld method and is calculated 10 give the prac- tice that the men would have in actusl en- gagements. The records that have been made during the week by the companies named have been good. Company B, Lieutensnt C. B. Vodges com- manding, and Company C, Lieutenant Frank 0. Ferris in command, have been brought to the Presidio post from the arsenal at Benicia and will remain there for some time. Assoon the compunies now at the range have finished their practice they will be followed by the Benicia companies, aud the<e will be followed by Company A, Captain L. P. Brant, and Company E, Captain John J. O'Connell. The rifle used in the practice at the range is the Krag-Jorgensen, which is a small bore— 30 caliber—and smokless powder is used. The weapon has most extraordinary penetrating power. Said an officer who was lovking ou at the practice, one duy Iast week, “This rifie will penetrate much further than the old springfield, but it has not the stopping power that the Springficld has. A bullet from oue of these wiil pass through four men, one behind the other, and not stop then, unless some vital part is struck or & bone shattered, and those lour men would not be so disabied a8 to pre- vent them from duty and damage; while the Springfi:ld when it was fired and the bullet hit a man it slobged him then and there.” It is expected that after the target practice isatan end that the cavalry, artillery and in- fantry stationed at the Presidio will be ordered on & combination march and practice expedi- tion in the vicinity of Redwood City. The purpose is to take the men into the country, where there is & great deal of room, and give them an opportunity 1o engage in justsuch exercise as 1f_they Were on (he march into an enemy’s country and were suddenly called into action. In the exercises that are pro- posed the three branches of the service will be called into action at the same time. Fort Baker, near Lime Point, is now in charge of Battery I, Third Arullery, Captain Danes commanding. The members of the bat- tery are engaged at this time in mounting the guos that are to form the fortifications at that point, and they are also coustructing & road from Sausalito to the fort. It is witnin the line of possibility that this year barracks wili be erected at that point and that officers’ quar- ters will be buiif, and that a military post will be established there. The location is one of the best on the harbor of San Franeisco. Major James Chester, recently promoted from captain of Battery A, Third Artillery, Alcatraz Island, in Command of the post on the island, baving been ordered to duty at Fort Canby, Major Davia H. Kinzie, who ‘was in command of that post, has been ordered to assume command of the post vacated by Chester. Quartermaster-General Weeks has gone to Seattle on & tour of inspeciuon, having con- cluded the Inspection of the saveral posts in this City and on the isiands in the Lay. Considerable improvement is noticeable at Fort Mason, at which there isstationed but one battery, E, Captain Sedgwick Pratt, who com- mands the post. The men at the post are building a road to connect-the post with Van Ness avenue. In time Brigadier-General Shaf- ter will take up his residence at this post. The grounds for athletic sports are also being putin good condition. Last Friday, by invitation of Brigadier-Gen- eral Shafter, tue officeis of the Presidio Ly- ceum of Iustruct ou accompanied him on the steamer General McDowell on an excursion around the bay. They were taken out as far as the Golden Gate and on the return were landed atthe Presidio wharf. Civilians often ask the question, ‘‘Are de- serters from the army of the United Stat unished for tnat crime in time of peace? he best answer that can be given is the fol- lowing from special orders from the Depart- meutof California, issued on the 9ih inst.: Private Jesse ©. Matiack, Company F, Four- teenth Infantry, having been tricd by a general court-martial convened at the Presidio of San Francisco, Cal, and_found rullty of desertion, in violation of the forty-seventh article of war, Was senterced: “i0 b dishonorablv discharged the service of the United Staies, forfelling all pay and alowauces due him, and to be confined at hard labor at such p st as he reviewiog suthority may direct, for six (6) months.” The sentence is approved and will be duly ex- ecuted. Alcatraz Island, Cal., is designated as the place of confinement, where the prisoner will be sent under sultavle g uard. Captain James O'Hara, Batfery H, Third Ar- tillery, commanding the post at'Angel Island, has beer granted leave of abseuce for twenty- three days from the 13th inst. Second Lieutenant Thales L. Ames of Battery A, Third Artillery, adjutant, recruiting officer and signal officer at Alcatraz Island, is under orders to report for duty at West Poiut on the 20th of next August. The equipment board of the quartermaster- generai’s department is considering the sub- ject of changing the shoes that are now fur- nished to the enlisted men. It 1s proposea to do away with the brogans and furdish some- thing that wili be as serviceable but more shapely. Samples have been called for, and when one isadopted a number of pairs of shoes ml“lb! made up and issued to tne troops on trial. = et REJOICING AT YUMA, Celebration Over the Iriumph of Gorer- wor MoCord. YUMA, Ariz., July 18.—Yuma was ablaze last night, not with the work of in- cendiaries, but with a monster Republican retification. The usual accompaniment of such occa- sions were all out in full force, and en- thusiusm was unbounded. The cause for joy was the confirmation of Hon. Myron H. McCord as Governor of Arizona. Three mammoth bonfires illuminated the path of the greatest procession ever witnessed in Yuma, extending nearly a half-mile in length. At 9 o’clock the speaking began. The speakers were: Judge George U. Holcomv, District Atiornev; John Wrigh . Hon. Samnel Purdy, Democratic ex-District Attorney; C. D. Baker; Colonel John W. Dorringion, chairman of the meeting, who was a member from Arizona of the convention committee whici waited on Major McKinley and notified him of his nomnation for the Presidency. ——————— Awicide at Los ingeles.

Talks of the Diamond Jubilee and Political Affairs in Hawaii. Declares Thera Is No> Danger of a Restoration of the Monarchy on the Islands. BOSTON Mass. July 18.—Hon. Samuel Damon, Minister of Finance of Hawaii, left Boston to-day for San Francisco, on his return home from the Queen’s jubilee, where he officially represented his coun- try. He has been a guest of Major Isaac Damon at Holden, Mass. Just before his departure he w interviewed by THE CALL correspondent on his European mis- sion and on the political situation in Ha- waii. Probably, he saia, he had been re- appointed Minister of Finance during his absence from Honolulu, for the constitu- tion of the republic provides that a Gov- ernment officer who is out of the country a greaterlength of time than sixty days forfeits his offi-e. As he was away on of- ficial business of the Government, he thinks it quite likely that President Dole may have declared his office vacant under the constitutional limitations and then may have reappointed him. He will have reached Honolulu before the expiration of the second sixty days and will be all right again. Mr. Damon went over to Washineton the other day and saw the Hawaiian Min- ister, Mr. Hatch, but declined to say what he learned from him iz relation to the an- nexation treaty and its prospects of being ratified by the United States Senate. Ex-Queen Lilinokalani was in Wash- ington, but Mr. Damon did not see her. ‘Whether annexation i+ accomplished or not he says thereis nodanger of a resto: tion of the monarchy, for tie republic is firmly established. Mr. Damon has en- joyed every minute of bis iourney, and was especially well treated by the Queen of England and the royal family during his stay in London. Mr. Damon says he was graciously received by Queen Vie- toria, who shook hands and spoke to him for some minutes. Mr. Damon rode in the great. diamond jubilee parade, and was one of the distingunished guests at the naval display off Spithead. Mr. Damon sailed from Liverpool to New York, stayed a day at the Fifth-avenue Hotel and then ran over to Washington to see the Minis- ter of his Government.

WELCGMED TO PETALUNA. Leogue of the Cross Cadets Met by a Host of Citizens and Escorted to Camp Riordan. PETALUMA, CAL, July 18.—Last even- ing the friends of the cadets of the League of the Cross and a host of s:ghtseers turned out to welcome the youths on their ar- rival here. They presented a fine appear- ance and, headed by the band, marched at once to Camap Riordan, where they found the advance guard had made all due preparations. The regular morning drill took place at 9 o’clock to-day, and at 10 came the mili- tary mass in celebration of the day, fol- lowed by a sermon from the Rev. Father Yorke, which was listened to attentively. At 2 o’clock the military band, consist- ing of about thirty-five pieces, made a tour of the town, rendering good music as they marched. Just before 5 o’clock this evening the ususl dress parade was wit- nessed by a goodly crowd of friends and spectators. The site of the camp is a most conve- nient one, the tents being pitched in the space encircled by the racetrack, while the dining-tables are nearer the main en- trance to the park and partially under shelter. Many of the cadets have brought the indispensable bike along and enjoy them- selves sorinting to and from town. At present there are about 3000 mem- bers of the league here, but in time for the great event next Wednesday—tfield day— many more are expected, as well as parents and friends. Colonel W. P, Sul- livan is justly proud of n1s boys, and will do all in his power to render the outing a delightiul one, though strict military dis- cipline will always be observed. Rev. Phillip O'Ryan, spiritual director of the league, will be with the cadets as chaplain during their stay. Among the officers now here are Colonel W. P. Sullivan ana his adjuant, Harry F. Eullivan, Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas F. Ryan. Burgeon-Major Joseph G. Morris- sev, Lieutenant and Inspector John P. Duffy, Lieutenant and Quartermaster Harry Mahony. The first of the two bat- talioas is commanded by Major Daniel J. McGoin, adjutant, E. F. Fay, while Major William McQCarthy, with adjutant Lieutenant Frank Gonzales, commands the second. . PACIFIC GRGVE'S ASSEMBLY. President McCl.sh De:ivers a Baccalau- reate S rmon to the Chautau- qua Students. PACIFIC GROVE, Cav., July 18.—The members of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle look upon their organiza- tion as a great people's college, a univer- sity for the masses, where the most hum- ble striver after knowledge may be brought into intellectual ccmpanionstip with the greatest minds the world has produced. Therefore the directors of the circle set apart one Sunday of their annual assem- bly for the delivering of the baccalaureate sermon to those who have completed their course. As this was baccalaureate Sun- day the event of the day was naturally the sermon by President Eli McClish, D.D., of the University of the Pacific. The praise service with wuich tne 11 o'clock exercises began was by the Cali- fornia Male quartet, and the scripture lesson was read by Rev. Thomas Filben. “ Dr. McClish began his discourse with the statement that since the Chautauqua was 3o closely allied with home iife, he felt he could choose no more fitting sub- ject than “Home, its building and development.”” Christ-iilke manbood was the end toward which all things tended, and the most potent factor 1n reaching this aim was the home, the bome being the founda- tion of the church and state and its influ- ences being those that ruled the world. Dr. McClish showed that if any human being needed to know all things it was the mother, who must find answers for the questions which fall momentarily from ber child’s tongue, and so give his mental and moral aevelopment the proper trend. The other exercises of the day were the formal Chautauqua vesper service, ad- dressed by Dr. Cowan of Pitt-burg and Dr. Bevier of San Francisco, and the evening song service by the California and Colo- nial quartets, followed by n sacred lec'ure by Rev. Dr. H:nry N. Hoyt of Sacra- mento. O Clear ® Partly Cloudy ® Cloudy ® Rain® Snow SHADED AREAS SHOW PRECIPITATION DURING PAST 12 HOURS Explanation. The arrow flies with the wind.

The word “hizh” means high barometric pressure and is_usually accompanied by fair weather: “low” refers to low pressure. and is usually preceded and accompanied by cloudv weather and rains. “Lows” usually first appear on the Washington coast. When the pressure is high in the interior and low along the coast, and the isobars extend north and south along the coast. rain is probable: but when the “low" Is inclosed with isobars of marked curvature, rain south of Oregon Is improb- able. With a “high” in the vicinity of Idaho, and | the pressure falling to the California coast, warmer weather may be expected in summer and colder weather in winter. The reverse of these conditions ‘will produce an opposite result. THE WEATHER BUR“AU. | UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICUL- TURE, WEATHER BURKAU, SAN FRANCISCO, July 18, 1897,5 7 w.
