Dovener, and Commander Sebree’s Responss. After the Ceremonles the Guests Partake of Luncheon and Then Inspect the Vessel. VALLEJO, CAL, Sept. 2.—The party of Congressmen and citizens of the State of | West Virginis arrived at the navy-yard tbis afternoon promptly at 1 o’clock. On their arrival they found everything in readiness, with military precision, for their entertainment. The tug landed at the quaywall just off the bow of the gun- boat Wheeling, and as the guests filed off the gangplank they were met by Ensign Durell, U. 8. N.; Passed Assistant Hngi- neer Arnold, U. 8. N., and Assistant Pay- master Irwin, U. 8. N,, of the Wheeling, who escorted the party to the ship. Com- mander Sebree received them aboard the vessel. On the arrival of Admiral W. A. Kirk- land the crew ol the ship were lined up on either side of the main deck, and the spokesman of the delegation, Hon. B. B. Dovener, was introduced by the com- mander. In his speech the distinzuished gentleman recounted how he and his col- leagues of his State in Congress had striven to have their city honored by hav- ing it borne from port te vort on one of the shipsof our country. Their endeavors had been realized, and now, to show the appreciation which the people of that city felt, they had decided upon the plan of coming all the way to California and bringing with them a token that would be more appropriate than anything else that could be devised. Nothing could be better to show that appreciation than the | nandiwork of the city of Wheeling—a | table service composed of something over | 900 pieces. With a desire to exoress this appre tion they had come irom their own State, wealthy in minerals and agriculture, over valleys, mountains and plains, to the golden State of California, Tbe speaker cloged with the wish that the ship might bring honor ‘o her name, to the flag and 1o the country. Commander Sebree spoke in behalf of the officers and men of his ship. He said: Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is in consideration of our good fortune in being the first to be assigned to duty on this ship that we have the pleasure of having you on board to-day, and it falls to my lot 1o thank you iu behalf of the Secretary of the Navy, and in behalf of my brother officers here, for the beautiful gifts which you have brought to our vessel, and for the cordial and kindly senti- ments with which you have accompanied your gifts. The citizens of many of our States | have generally shown their kindly feeling for | the naval service by giving presents to ships | which have been honored by learing the | names of their States and cities, but in 1o | other case, 1 believe, has & delegation of citi- | zens come o far on such a generous errand. But 1 take it that it is not the kindly iceling | alone that impressed you to take this long | journey. Your presence bere is an evidence | of the pride with which we bear our cummon | citizenship and the loyalty and devotion with which we regard our common country, and it is siugularly sppropriate that such a senti- | ment should cowe from the war-boru State of West Virginia. This shipis but one of many in the service, and to her making went mate- | rials from many States—ores from Michigan, steel from Penusylyania or West Virginis, | Tumber from Oregon and Washington, and, skill and 1abor of the citizens of California— | so tnatshe stands to-day an epitome of our whele country; and I take it your presence here to-day 1s, more than anything eise, a demopstration of the pride and devotion that ‘we alf have in our common country. Jt is probable that the keel ot this vessel may never be washed by (he waters of the Ohjo, but in whatever seas she may sail or whatever country she may visit, remember she is under that flag at all times—c¢verywhere a part of the United States and every Siate in the Union. The Wheeling and Marietta were both built from the same plans and are alike as possible, with the exception of the boilers. Experience has proved that it is impossible to build gun- boats, houses, ships or anything else exactly alike; ome will always be beiter than the other.

Y., Sept. 2.—Edouard Remenyi, the long-haired Hungarian vio- lin virtuoso, whose skill and talents have won him fame and fortune and who re- cently spent many months in San Fran- cizco, has been haviag trouble. When the | Remenyis returned from California two months ago they brought with them a big trunk and two valises filled with rare jewels, silver and rich silk and satin gowns. Among other valuables one es- peciaily treasured was a magnificent jew- eled medal presented to Remenyi by citi- zens of Sydney, Australia, and a remarke- blering of keys, said to be 300) years old, which Remenyi said he would not take $50,000 for. All these, with a good watch and jewels belonging to G. Santzlei, a friend living with them, were stolen yesterday from their residence, 73 West Eighty-filth street, where they have been living since they came from Californla. They were hauled away in a wagon by Pieroschka Englander, the Hungarian servant, and her husband, Joseph Englander, a waiter, who was the servant’s enly visitor. Both the handsome young servant and her hus- band were prisoners in Yorkvilie court to- day. She was charged with robbing her employer of silverware, medals and jew- elry valued at several thousand dollars. Remenyi and his wife have been very proud of their pretty maid, who could dance a mazurka to Remenyi’s music with ali the fire and snap characteristic of her nation. The maid was missing yesterday morning, however, and with her ali the valuables. Remenyi reported the matter to the police, and Detectives Buckley and Lang were detailed on the ecase. Last night the detectiv s saw Joseph enter a restaurant in quest of a job. They asked him wrere his wife was, and were taken to 67 Avenue C, where she had just en- gaged rooms that day. There the detec- tives found a large Saratoga trunk and several valises, which on being opened revealed all the stolen property. Mrs. Englander implore | the detectives not to arrest ber, but husband and wife were both taken to the police station, to- gether with the geods stolen from R - menyi. Tnere the husband was locked up and the wife was removed, weeping, to West Forty-seventh-siraet station. Remenyi did not miss the clothing, which was in his irunks in the basement, and would not have known it was taken had he not seen it strewn about the office of the West Forty-seveuth-street station. Mrs. Englander has been with Remenyi two months, and it is supposed that she, in conjunction with her husband, bhs been stealing ever since her services bezan. There was rbjoicing in the family of the violinist this morning when notilication reached them from the police that nearly all of the valuables had been recovered.

Equalizers Requested Not to Ralse the Rate—Sisklyou Wants to Be Let Alone. SACRAMENTO, CarL., Sept. 2 —Frank Smith, Assessor, Supervisors E. de la Cuesta and Walter Eiliott, ana’ William Mayo Newhall, a property-owner, ap- peared before the State Board of Eauali- zation to-day as representatives of Santa Barbara County and iold of the decrease in land vaiues from one end of :he county to the other. Considerable prop- erty had changed hands during ihe past year, but the majority had been forced ‘ales under mortgage foreclosure. Equal- izer Morehouse owns a ranch in Santa Barbara County, and his assessment had been reduced along with the other prop- erty. Equalizer Arnold asked about this par- ticularly and remarked, after the Assessor had said it had been reduced, that he thought the reduction was fully justified. Mr. Newhall tiren read a letter from a number of Sants Barbara landowners who live in Santa Barbara. The letter re- quested the board not.to raise the assess- ment of the county, and declared that to the knowledge of the signers the county was assessed higher, in proportion to its xslue, than were other counties in the State. In speaking of the assessment on dairy stock, he claimed that the rate of $14 per head was fully all they were worth, owing to the fact that the pasture land had been worn out and the stock had de- teriorated. Equalizer Arnold wanted to know if Newnall thought he would prefer a higher tax rate and a lower valuation. Newhali answered that he believed as- sessments should be nearer their own value. ‘When asked if he thought that his prop- erty in San Fraucisco was as well assessed as hie property in Santa Barbara, he said that he thought it was, but was unable to state accurately, as bis brother had charge of his San Francisco property. ‘When Siskiyou had its innings, during the afternoon session, its reprezentatives simply requested to be left alone. Their interests were mainly mining, cattie raising and lumbering. The timber area had greatly decreased of late years, and this accounted for the decrease in the as- sessment ~oll of the county. Morehouse then asked: *If there were ten counties to be equalized, and -three of them were too low and seven too high, how wonld you equalize? Would you tavor raising the three or reducing the seven?'’ Newton repliec that he would favor raising the three, but deelared that no matter how many counties might be re- duced, and pow high the tax rate might be foread up, he wairted no decrease or otheriaterfercnce with hisroll. ; By gL GR No Changes in Sacraminto’s Primarics, SACRAMENTO, Can, Sept 2.—At the adjourned meeting of the Board of City Trustees held this evening the qaestion as to whether the present primary laws would apply to'the coming election was considered, and it was decided that it would not; in consequence, the coming primaries will be held as formerly. o Zwo Years at Folsom for Burglary.
