The obsequies were i those of George T. Lafleche, who builta hoiel at the foot of Broadway over thirty vears ago, when Seventh street was ‘“‘up- | town" and before the railroad had bound the continent with iron. | George Lafleche had not done a great {deal toward developing the modern eity | of Oukland, but he had lived an active | life for over a generation, and was so | wedded to the locality on which he first | settied that when it went down socially and commercially George stayed with 1t, and its declining fortunes became his | own. | On his first arrival here in the early | sixties Lafleche opened a hotel near the water front. That was at the time when the ferry-boats from San Francisco landed on the beach at the foot o Broadway. George called his place the Lafleche House and it was resorted to by hun- dre ow an old shack, it was then a pretentious place by comparison with the r:<t of the town. Asyears pas-ed bv the water front be- gan to be deserted. Oid Dr, Merritt, who was many times a castomer of George’s, started to boom the upper part of town, | the railroad ran along Seveuth street and gradually the aristocratic patrons of La- fleehe’s driited uptown to the more pre- tentious places that sprang up.

Need of Such an Organization Has Been Kuown for Years. For the Purpose of Promoting Har- mony and Cood Feeling Among the Members. 0OARLAND OFFICE SAN FraNcisco CALL,) 9.8 Broadway, August 5. An important meeting of the lealing musiciany of Alameda County wiil be held to-morrow night in the parlors of the Nile Club. The purpose of the gathering is to organize a county musicians’ club, for the purpose o! bringing out local talent and for mutual benefit generally. It has long been deplored that there isa lack of harmony in this county among those people to whom harmony should be a kind of second nature. The feeling has not only been individually unpleasant, but it has obstructed mu-ical prozress. A'week ago an informal meeting was held and the idea of a club found such favor that it was decided to take decisive action and try to unite under a common name and with a common purpose the hundreds of musicians in this connty. Those who are taking an active vart in the matter are: Mrs. Alma Crowley, Pro- fessor W. J. McCoy, John W. Metcalf, Di- rector A. T. Stewart, Julius Oettl and J. C. Walling. A thorough canvass of the musical fraternity will be made, and it is believed that at least a hundred members will subscribe to the roll as soon asitis ovened. The immediate purrose of the club will be the mutual benefit of the members, and once a month it is proposed to give a mausical social, which shouid prove a very acceptable aff. ALL FAVOR ANNEXATION Hawaiians Anxious to Float the American Flag, Says Pro- fessor Brown, He Declares That They Have an Excellent School System, Well Enforced. BERKELEY, CAL, Aug. 5.—Professor Elmer £, Brown, head of the department | of pedagogy at the State University, re- turned yesterday on the steamer Australia from Honoluiu, where he had gone early in the vacation to lecture before the Ha- waiian summer school. Each year the school there is addressed by some Ameri- can educator. Last year Dr. F. D. Dress- Iar, who bas been secured as an assistant professor under Professor Brown at Berke- ley, filled the position. Colonel Perker, ex-cuperintendent of the Quincy (Mass.) schools, has been secured for next year. In speaking of his work at the islands, Professor Brown said to-d “Ihe republic has an excellent school system and a compulsory-education law tbat is enforced as no similar law is en- forced in our State. The teachers are of divers grades, from the native teachers to the graduates of normal schools and uni- versities of this country. “The school system i8 anzlicizing the na- tion. The children «f Japanese, Poriu- guese and Ee.ish sveaking residents are being educated in Eng ish, not 1 per cent of them receivicg instruction in any other tougue. The result is the creation of a composite nationality talking an adopted language. “‘The public sentiment in regard to the future of the republic is overwhelmingly in favor of snnexation to the Unitea States. Former royalists now favor 1t, and even residents of Enelish antecedents do not desire that the islanas shall be- come a British colony. Tuere is no ques- tion in my mind as to whether or not the republic can stand alone. Iiis simply a question of whether it shall become a por- tion of the United States or fall into the possession of some other power. ' “Every incoming steamer is watched to discern if by an exiraordinary display of its bunting it does not announce that it vrings the tidings of annexation. The leaders. of the repubtic do not desire im- mediate statehood. They wish for some plan analogous to that adopted for the District of Coiumbia—direct control by Congress—as least liuble 1o break the con- tinuity in the present plan of govern- ment. All local interests are subordinate to American ivfluences, and the Fourth of July was celebrated at Honolulu with more ent usiasm than it was in this country. United States Minister Sewall was the orator of the day, a significant thing in itself.”’ FRIENDS OF ANIMALS, They Report a Hurd Month’s Work in the Cause. OAKLAND, CAL., Aug. 5.—The Oakland Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has just completed a month of useful work. Rev. C. W. Wendte is presi- dent of the society. Mrs. 8. C.

Property Protected and the Min- | ing Laws Much the Same ! as in Mexico, He Quotes a Noted Geographer in Regard to Some Features of the Country. Emmm— | Captain E, de Miranda, who was quoted yesterday in rezard to the gold min3s of Paucirtambo, Peru, gives some further in- | formation of considerab e mportance in | view of the unusual interest in the mines | there. Mr. de Miranda was in a measure | amused but largely indignant at the <tories published in some papers of this City alleging that there was nogold there; also that the rezion was a fearful desert; that neither property nor life was safe; that, in lact, many persons conid not live | in the extraordin rily rarefiea air. There wes much more of the same sort, all of which Mr. de Miranda denounced as malicious and false. He has lived many years in Peru and 1s interested in many greatenterprises there, He isone of the owuers of several mines which he has operated for more than fifteen years. Besides this he is one of the large owners in the French Petro- | leum Company ovperating in aifferent parts of Syuth America and having offices in Grau ana Callso. It should be borne in mind that these mines are not new. “What has particularly challenged my attention,” said Senor de Miranda, *“was a weird story in 4 morning paper setting forth the alleged horrors of life in the par- ticular portion of Peru where these mines are located. The tales of sickness and the insecurity to property together with the general disauvautages of life in that country are qui.e horrible as outlined, but are utterly untrue in fact. The writer of the article says that the mining laws of Peru offer no secarity to holders of that kind o. property, but that this is incorrect will be seen by the 1act that Peru adopted | the mining laws of Mexico of 1771, the very luws by the way tbat the '49:rs of | California acopted. Now these laws are | strictly and rigorously observed—relig- iou:ly, you may say, and the possession ot minin: and every other sort of property has for its foundation the constitution of Peru. Property cannot be tuken away from an individual except for public uses, and then there must be a commission to duly inspect and place a just value upon it, which is paiwa to ths owner. Nobudy down there ever heard of a miner losing nis property, or of his being inconveni- enced in any way by any one interfering with Lis rights. “Now about whether there is gold there or not, many mining engineers have in- spected tie mines of the country and the | richness of these mines has Leen fairly established. Ithas been said that there was nodevelopment of these mines. In | March, 1896, the sailing ship Baring Brothers carried from San Francisco to inatdistrict $20,000 worth of mining ma- chinery. Bes.des this lots of machinery have gone there from New York. I would iike to refer any douoter as 10 the richness | ot the mines to Eu ogio Deigado, who was formerly Minister of Finance of Peru, and who i< un intimaie iriend of the Graces of New York. Heisnow in New York, has samples of the gold with him, and wull corroborate anyihing that I have said. . Delgadois a ski'led mining engince Now a little scmething about the a ‘leged desolate character of the country. Elisee Reclus, a great authority on geog- raphy and the author of **Nouvelle Geo- graphe Universelle,” has described the Huilcamayo River, which penetrates the gold region. This river, he recounts, rises in the very summits of the mountains at an altitude of 4313 meters, about 14,017 feet, and falls in a northwest direction by a gradual decent to S.cuani, the terminus of the railroad 1o Areguipa. From there it descends from a height of 3532 meters, about 11,479 feet, throuxh a most beaatiful country, one of the paradises, in fact, he says, of Peru. In that partit is bordered by beautilul trees, and a little below, ac- cording to him, the Indian corn fields and orchards begin to appear, while ever and | anon are attraclive viilages, terraces and trees. “But the story of unheaithfulness at Arequipa was perhaps most amusing ot all, Why, it is a common expression that a man won’t die there. Invalids are sent there irom all over the world for lung trouble. The altitude is about 8200 feet. None of these places that have been al- luded to are unhealthy. Itis nonsense to say that tbey are. When you get up 10,000 or 12,000 feet of course the air is quite light or rarefied, and for two or three | uays a man will feel a little discomfort, the same as he would in a high altitude in the Sierras or in the Rocky Mountains. Mr. de Miranda spoke of the healthful- ness of Lima and other places, as well as Arequipa and the loftier places in Paucir- tambo. He gave the latitudes and other details regarding them, and said there were no healthier places to be found any- where. He says, however, that the mines that have been alluded to in Paucirtam- bo are not new. Richard Averdieck, who is engaged in me:rcantile business at 206 Sanscme strect, was present when Mr. de Miranda made his statement. Mr. Averdieck has speut eight years in Peru. He was with the firm of Otto R ciiter and also with Yriberry, Harrison & Co. “Mr. Richter, when I was with him,” said he, “had mines that were steadily producing from $20,000 to $30.000 per month. Itistrue that the product was mostly silver, but this will be an answer, at least, to the assertion that there is no paying mine of any sort there. There are in tact many mines which return large prefits.”” Many persons who have thought of go- ing down there will, nowever, wait uli the report of the American Minister is made 1o the State Department. HAWAIL AND AMERICA. Samuel Parker and Secretaury Brown | on Annexation. Sarauel Parker, who was Minister of Foreign Affairs during the reign of Queen Liliuokalani of Hawuli, was one of the arrivals here Wednesday. He sayvs he thinks the masses of :he people of Hawaii are opposed (0 annexation. 1t is not, he ys, because they are opposed to Amer- icans, but because it would mean that the Queen would never be restored.

HASKINS The Aged Iady Passes a Day Under Severe Crossfire. But Her Story of the Wills and TDeeds Is Not Shaken, An Effort Will Be Made to Delve Into the Contest Over Her Decegsed Husband's Will. Throughout yesterdsy's session of the | Fair-Craven trial the witness-stand was | occupied by aged Mrs. El:zabeth Haskins, the !riend of Mrs, Craven, who saw Sena- tor Fair write the now cclebrated *‘pencil’” will, She was under cross-examination and will be again tc-day. The attorneys for the heirs und estate haa prepared a most severe baiting for the feeble oid lady and hurled it at ner without mercy or feeling in the hope of breaking her down and cast- | ing doubt upon her story. But in this they were not successful. Mrs. Haskins has not the best memory in the world and this infirmity was taken advantage of with zeal. Frequently the lengthy and at times two-edzed questiona propounded would somewhat confuse her and elicit an- swers not responsive, or which might be construed as being slightly contraaictory. But so far as yesterday’'s quizzing went none of these apparent d screpancies af- feeted in any really material degree the main story told by the lady on her direct examination. During the morning session, after a lengthy catechising, Mrs. Haskins ad- mitted that she had assisted Mrs. Craven at odd times with small loans—in fact would be glad to accommodate an oid friend at any time. The larzest amount she remembered of loanine her friend at any one time was a sum sufficient to pur- chase a ticket to the East. She thought it was something like $103. Mrs. Haskins denied emphatically that Mrs, Craven owed her $350). “Did you ever tell Mrs. Rothast that Mrs. Craven owed you $35007 ' asked At- torney Wheeler. 2 +I never did,” was the positive reply. Wheeler then wanted to test the wit- ness’ memory by rcquiring her to repeat the evidence she gave when ner deposi- tion was taken in July ot last year. Judge Slack would not permit this. He ruled that the deposition would bave to be read {o the lady before she could be questioned regarding it. The attorney brougnt out the point he was aiming at by following the court’s suggestion. It was to the effect that Mrs. Haskins, in giving her deposition, forgot to inciude the incident of Mrs. Craven reminding Senator Fair at the time when he handed her the disputed deeds that they had not been acknowle !g:d. Mre, Ha-kins explained this by saying that there were doubtiess many little details of the conversation between Mrs. Craven and Senator Fair that the had forgotten. Mrs, Haskins was referred to the depo- sition again at the openinz of the after- noon session. That portion of her evi- dence was read in which she said that Senator Fair handed Mrs. Craven iwo papers and said, “‘Hete are your deeds.” She confirmed the truth of that, but added that wnen she made that statement she bad forgotten that in reply to the Sen- ator Mrs. Craven told him that the deeds were not acknowledged. . ‘Wheeler essayed to score a point by askin : the witness why she had not re- membered that before. Her reply was that ths matter was considered by her so trifling at that time_thas she did not bur- den her mind with it The cross-examiner next caused the aged lady to conduct him, figuratively speaking, over the various routes she traversed in the course of her movements on the eventful 24th of September, 1894— the day upon wnich Senator Fair wrote the wills and delivered the deeds at Mrs. Craven’s house. Mrs. Haskins was ac- commodating. She finished her break- fast at abous 7 o’clock that morning, and dressed to go out immediately afterward. She walked all the way from her resi- dence at Leavenworth and Green streets to the Mission Grammar School to see Mrs. Craven. She thought she arrived there about the time the schoolchildren were enjoying their forencon recess— about 10:30 o’clock. She remembered that the chiidren were either coming out or going into the school at the time. Continuing, Mrs. Haskins suid that she leit the school shortly afterward, and went (o see her dressmaker, Miss Rowan, and paid her a bill sheowed. Ske received a receipt for this payment, and this was one of her best pieces of evidence regard- ing the date of the execution of the wills. “Where did you go after leaving the dressmaker’s?” asked Mr. Wheeler, “I went to Mrs, Craven’s house, in the 2000 block on Caiifornia streer,” was the reply. “How did vou get out there—did you ride or walk?” *1 walked.” “All the way 7' “Yes, sir.” Being asked to describe the rou‘e over which she wa.ked Mrs. Haskins said she thought she walked out OQ'Farreli sireet to Steiner, and, turning uown the latter, reached California. “When I reached Mrs. Craven's house the servant told me thatshe bad com- pany, and probably could not see me,” continued Mrs. Haskins, *“‘While we were talking Mrs. Craven heard my voice and callea from upstairs for me to come in, I went upstairs and sbe asked me to come into the studio. Senator Fair was there, and I did not wish 1o go in. Mrs. Ciaven snd le then inisted that Ienter. Mr. Fair made me welcome. He was writing with a lead pencil when I went in."” *‘Well, what then happened?"’ Mis. Haskins then proceeded to tell ali over again lor the third or fourth time the siory of how Senator Fair wrote the two wills and gave Mrs. Craven the disputed deeds. The circumstance of the finding of the pad from wh €1 was torn the sheet upon whicn Fair wrote the pencil will was sgain referred 1o, and the witness was caused to relate every little de:ail cou- nected with it. She explained that when Mrs, Craven went Eustshe (the wiiness) was “tidyiig’’ up tne bouse for her, and in doing so removed a large bundle cf pa- pers and magezines from the reception- room to the cellar. Later, when Attorney Lloyd was searching so zealously for the little scrap of paper which was missing from the margin of ihe *‘pencil” will, the witness reproduced the bundie from the cel.ar, and Mr. Lloyd and several other attorneys rummaged through it. Mra Craven had previously hunted for the pad, but had been unable to findi. Mr Lloyd was more successful than she, tor he found the mis ing pad and scrap in the bundle. d was very much elated over id Mrs. Haskins. ‘“‘He said it was a piece of evidence that would prove invaluable. Either I or some one else in the house asked Mr. Lioyd why he shoul | attach so much importance to =uch an ap- parently trifling little thing.
