Supply to Be Derived From the Headwaters of the Fresno. Serles of Reservolrs Will Be Bulit Along the Mountain Stream. FRESNO, Car., Sept. 6.—Madera County is to have a new irrigation ystem, which, it is believed, wiil remedy the very unsalisfactory maner in which the farmers have been supplied with water heretofore. An extensive project is on foot to control the waters in the moun- tains and gather s plentiful supply to moisien Madera’s fields during the dry summer montbs. The Madera Canal and Irrigation Company is promoting the scheme, which means so much to the county across the river. For the past few weeks the company’s engineer, 1. Teil- man, of this city, Las been working on the project, and he feels satisfied that it can be made a success. “Yes, it is true that I have been work- ing on a project to give Madera County a good system of irrigation, and Iam now in a position to give you some news which means so much to that county,” said Teilman to-day. “I have been employed by the Madera Canal and Irri:ation Com- pany to ascertain if the water supply could be so improved that the farmers could be furnished with a good system of irrigation. Return Robertsis the principal shareholder in the Madera company, and he is determined to have an improved water service where he is so largely inter- ested. *I am happy tosay that after surveying the ground, I feel satisfied that the beiter- ment of the supply can be accomplished ata reasonable cost. Improvements are already unser way near Fisn Camp, on the Yosemite road. A force of men is at work enlarging a ditch running from Big Creek to the head of Fresno River. During June and July, when the snow is melting, this canal will hereafter be able to convey three or four times the amount of water This will add materially to source of our watersupply, an: daring the two months named, the Fresno will have plenty of water to irrigate the coun:y. *'I have looked up reservoir sites along the stream, 1n which to impound water in the summer, when the river ransdry. It seems that nature has done its work for our benefit, for there are several suitable sites along the stream wnere we can con- Struct reservoirs and retain a large quan- tity of water at comparatively small cost. We have not, as yet, decided upon whnat site to take. Itiscur object to build one or more reservoirs that will hold water enough to supply a stream of 100 cubic feet a second during a period of sixty davs. This will ‘give Madera County all the water that is needed for successful irriga- tion. *‘Heretofore I have been of the opinion that Madera ought to obtain its water supply from the San Joaquin River, but I now believe, after a thorough inves- tigation, thar, with the extensive im- provement of the present system from Fresno R ver, the farmers will obtain a better service than if the water were de- rived from the San Joaguin. On this river Miller & Lux have a prior right to all low water, and during this period the Made- rans would not be able to obtain any water. A sati faciory service would by no means be given, and the cost of this system wounld be much more than to use tne water from Fresno River. “I am rure that the project now under way to divert water from the Fresno River will give the county all the water that is needed for judicious i rigation.” A CONVENTION WITHIN REACH Bishop Newman Suggests That San Francisco Secure It. Great Methodist General Con- ference That Will Be Held in 1900 Bishop John P. Newman, head of the Methodist Episcopal church on the Pacific Blope, arrived here yesterday direct from a conference at Reno, Nev.. where he | stoppe ! on his way from the East. | He has come here to preside at acon- | ference of the German Metnodist churchzs | in this City on the 9th, on the 15th 1o open the California Annual Copference at Pacific Grove, on the 29th to open the Southern Californian Conference at Los Angeles, and on October 7 to officiate at the opening of the Arizona Conference at Preenix. [ Finally he will attend at Baltimors on Octob r 27 the semi-anndal meeting of Bishops. Afterward he will return to this City with his wife and settle down here for the winter. Bishop Newman suggests that San Francisco try for the next quadrennial or General Convention of the Methodist church, which will be heid in thespring of 1900 and attended by a most remarka- ble delegation of 600 clergymen and lay- men from all parts of the world. Discussing the probabiliti of San Francisco securing the General Conference Bishop Newman, when :een at the Occi- dental Hotel, said: +1 went to see this matter brought to the attention of the people of San Fran- cisco. At the last General Conference, which was held in Cleveland in 1896, a commission was appointed to select the next convention city. That commission has not vet acted. I helieve it is made up. of members of the book committee. “The competitors for the conf:rence wi!l probably be Washington City, San ¥rancisco and Saratoga. ' **S8an Francisco has the advantage, al though Washington will be a formidable rival. This City has enthusiasm, as was shown at the recent Christian Endeavor Convention. The name California has in itself a wonderiul attraction, a sort of ro- mantic association equaied by no other Fl.fle on earth, except perhaps Switzer- and. “In extending an invitation to the com- mission this City should present a list of its inducements, means of transportation by land and water, together with special rates, Thefact that the last general as- sembly of the Presbyterian church was heid in Portlend, Or.,is an argument in favor of the West and San Francisco. “This zeneral conference, coming at the end of a century, Will be a notable one. It will in it-elf consist of all the bishops and all the editors from all the conferences of the Methodist church in this country, China, Japan, India, Mexico and South America—in all about 600 per-ons. “There will come also distingnished fraternal delegates from England and Canada, from the Southern chureh, and also from all the great Protestant bodies We naturally expect t at the British fra- ternal delegate will be a great man. lam in Lopes that President McKinley, who i< a member of the Methodist Church, will ve among the lay delegates. 1 think it would be highly vroper for him to at- tend. We have members in our church who are in both branches of Cougress and in the Supreme Court, and some are Gov- ernors of States. “The conference will be one of preat dignity. lasting a month. It will include laymen from all the S.ates—men whom it pays to have interested in Caiifornia. The meetings will be devoted not to papers, but to debates, remarkable discussions by bishops, eminent educators from our uni- versities, doctors, lawyers and statesmen. *‘Tne City would not be expected to do all the entertaining. At Ogzden in 1892 the city did part of the entertaining and the church paid the res'. It should be re- memuered that Methodist church 1s a very bic thing and annually expends $25.000,000. But prosperity is striking the church as well as th: country, and old church debts are being raised.”” SWORDs AND HURDLES. The Programme of Exciting Ath- letic Military Exercises for the Day.

J. O'Brien & Co.’s Great Liquidation Sale Takes the Town by Storm. To say that it totally eclipses any of the many wonderful sales ever held by this great firm gives but a slight idea of the tremendous outpouring of femininity that greeted the great liquidation sale inaugu- rated yesterday to settle the estate of the late J. J. O’Brien, for from almost the moment of opening in the morning until the store closed at night it was literally packed with buyers, and at times the crowd was so great it was i1mpossible to make any headway through the surging mass of humanity that packed the broad aisles of this mammoth establishment. But notwithstanding the crowds every- body seemed good natured, for they could easily afford to put up with a little per- sonal discomfort in view of the extraordi- nary oppo:tunities afforded by the un- sparing cuts in prices that have been made on every article in every department. In a few moments’ conversaton with Mr. James O'Brien, the surviving partner, it was learned tbat an extra force of about filty had been added to the firm's enor- mous regular corps of sales people, but even with these it wasx impossible to handle the overwhelming trade as expe- ditiously as desired, consequently forty more have been engaged and will be on duty this morning ready 10 s:rve the thousands that will undoubtedly turn out when they learn from those of their friends who attended the opening day of the mar- velous bargains offered —————— COURSING AT INGLESIDE.

Metropolitan ~ Temple Filled With Workmen and Their Families. SPIRIT THAT MOVES THE PEOPLE. Socialists Were Present and Took an | Active Interest in the Meeting. Under the auspices of the Building Trades Council and the San Francisco Labor Council one of the Jargest and most enthusiastic Labor-day celebrations of this City was held last evening in Metropoli- tan Temple. A large bonfire on Marke! and Fifth streets directed the way to the | place of meeting, and by 8 o'clock the hall was well filled from the platform to the top row in the gallery. While it was strictly a labor-union gathering, still there was a very large number of socialistsin the hall, and they maae their presence manifest by their applause when matters with an economic bearing were touched upon. Such quent, especially during the address of Dr. Bliss. J. Hiil of the Labor Council, chairman, | opened the meeting by giving the bistory of Labor day in Cali‘ornia and why in this Staie 1t was changed to the first Wednes- aay in September, so a3 to be the same as the Labor day all over the Union. He made a vigorous attack upon politicians in general and those of the last Legisla- ture in particular, sparing neither party. His next point was upon the wave of pros- perity, which he declared had not yet ar- nived. The rise in wheat attracted the chairman’s attention, and he said thatthe rise simply meant a higher price for bread tor the laboring man. Those who profit mosily by this rise are the sharks of Wall street, who wax wealthy and prosper by it. He hoped toat the time is not far off when it would be considered criminal to gamble upon the necessities of the human race. In conclusion he urged all those who do not belong to the unions of their trades to join and help along the cause of workiag Lumanity. He was 1ollowed by a bass solo by J. A. McAuliffe enuitied “Jerusalem.” His effort was highly appreciated, as he has a magnificent voice. Upon the encore he gave ‘“IThe Sword of Bunker Hill.”” > Andrew Furuseth o: the Coast Seamen’s Union opened an interesting address by saying that his remarks would necessarily be gloomy because bis subject was *‘Labor’s Struggle,” in which he would have to re- view the situation of the past year. He said: If by setting aside this one dey in the year as Labor aay it was intended that we should for the day put away all other considerations and let our thoughts dwell on the condition of those who produce the world’s weslth—and 1t seems Lo me that such must have been the intention—then it foliows that to-day we are to review the past year, to fairly face our own shortcomings and failures, o probe such suc- cess us may have come 10 our efforts, look as we may Into the future, 10 meas- ure the obstecles, look them resolutely in the face and if possibie indicate some means of solution. The lest year has been one of special strug- gle, millions of unemployed, starvation ana want. Reduetion has fo.lowed reduction in wages; strikes huve foiowed strikes, some against reduc.ion, some for the simple right to oTganize, some to Temsin Organized, some for | an increase and some ugain to pres:rve the freeaom of speech and ths right of public as- semtly to discuss grievance- and petition for redress. Wher: men were orgunized their chances were so much superior that tnos: who had the best otganization_bave errived al the | present stage in the depression with the standard ol wages, and largely the standard of living, unimpaired. Organization has spread rapialy duriug the past yeer, but the forces in o:position have become more solid and more clearly defined. The conscivusness of wrongs suffered has been spreading, but it is also coming (o be more and more understood that the cause of labor is the cause of humanity, of democracy, of equality, reedom and justice. The worid at Inrge is growing in recoguition of the fact that the power of the few and the servitude of the many is equally debasing to all; thatit is tyrannical and unchristian. Disorganizea labor is of necessity servile labor where the means of life are held by private individuals. As the land becomes more and more private property, as the tools necessary to production become more expen- sive and pass out of the laborer’s possession, the laborer becomes a dependent, & tramp—or a unionist. The ownership of the means of life has ever ended in the ownership o1 life itself. The uncrowned king of to-day knows this and is using it to the full extent of his ower. " Iiyou have watched the events of the last year you will have noted that universities and colleges are controlled by endowments; professors with inconvenient ideas of eco- nomics are dismissed, the pulpit is controlled throuzh the pew, the press through its adver- tising columns, the leg-l profession through patronage and office, the small_business man through his creditor, and now it is proposed to expurgate the poets of tue past. Itis thus that “the Virus of wealth burrows through every safeguard and fills the holes with mag- gots of its own making.” According to our Present policy he is a good judge who extends the jurisdiction of his court, and he is u valu- able officer who extends the power of his own department. Usurpation foliows usurpation until absolutism 1s complete. The audience loudly applauded the recitation, “To-morrow at 10, by Miss Freda Gallick, who was repeatedly re- called. % 3 Not less pleasing wers the melodious ] the dividends of efforts ot the Knickerbocker Male Quar- tet, which rendered, “I Dream of Thee,” and was not allowed to retire until after seyeral otber songs. _Dr. J. E Scott quickly won his way into the nearts of the people by a few pleasant remarks before beginning his ad- drp;! on *Organization,” in which he said: Organizatior, iike order, is one of heaven’s first laws. Capital is orcanized, why not those whose labor makes capital? Banks, railroads, iactories. foundries, iron works and trusts are organized, why not taose whose toil buiids and pays the expenses, and nlso pays : those concerns? Labor | unions have done and are doing splendid and | noble work in battling for organization. Their aim and s cconomic emancipation. Their ideal is such conditions as make irue {re:dom. Do labor unions cause and encourage the strike? On the contrary strikes are caused by the co-operation of employers and unorganized Inborers. When injustice, robbery and hunger are dealt out as ;ecompense for honest life- wesring toil, who stirs up the strike and its strifes ?7—those who deal out the injustice, rob- bery and starvation, or those wiio rise like men, and like men’ resist ihe wrong? The sirike is a disgrace to civilization. So are swords and daggers. So are armies and nevies. £0 is the strife and waste of business compe- tition, Let the work oi I~bor unions goon till all laborers are consciously and practically organized into one great, world-wide union of labor. W. J. Hynes kept the audience in a roar of laughter with a lot of comic storiesand songs. The principal address of the evening | was delivered by Rev.W. D. P. Bliss of Boston. He won his way to the hearts of most of the audience by saying that women as well as men should be union- ists, and that no pure woman should per- mit her lips to touch those of a ‘‘scab,’” and that if Jesus Christ were on earth that night he would add one more injunction to bis followers—"Thou shalt not steal thy neighbor’s job.” Continuing upon his subject, “The Eight-hour day and the | Trivmph of Labor,” he said: : It is impossible for me to appear before you to-night with merry quibble or with idle jest. We stand this day in the shadow of a great | wrong and in the presence of an impending | crisis. Meeting in this Metropolitan Temple on Labor day, 1 can but remember the 170,- | 000 miners who have been battling, not ior | th ‘mselves, but for the mosi sacred rights of American citizens. The cause of the siriking miners is not the cause of the miners a one. It is the cause of the laboring man from Mas- sachusetts to California. 1t has become, in- deed, the cause of every American citizen. Capital has gone to venal courts and obtained from corrupt Judges an injunction depriving American citizens ot the right to walk on pub- lic roads or to nssemble in peace ful meeting. Tt ought to bring the blush of shame to every American lawyer und to arouse the patriotic | wrath of every citizen. Is Ameriean justice forever to be sold to the highest bidder? To walk the public roads or to hold a peace- ful meeting has been declared an offense, for which peaceful men can be dragged before an unjust Judge and imprisoned without trial by jury. Even to treach 10 striking men has been decided iilega What 1s labor to do? It has appealed to the public and the public declines to act. It has cried 1o the churches, those churches whici ought to be the refuge oi every one oppressed, H 7 /and the churches, which can send mission- occasions were not infre- aries to India and money to Armenis, are deai 10 the wrongs of the American workingman. One hundred and fifty circuiars your labor unions sent to the clergymen of San Francisco, and on'y one clergyman answered, end not one penny was thus raised. Let American labor unite; let the represen- tatives of every National labor union assemble and in the sovereign name of outraged justice declare thaton January 1, 1898, all working- men in America will cease to work unless the Supreme Court dec are the unconstitutionality of government by injunction or Congress act 10 do away with the wrong. 1f you do not do this no workingman is safe. Wagzes can be re- duced and workmen imprisoned or marched to work as convicts under the musket or the cannon. Gent.emen, America to-day is not iree. Justice aoes not rule. g Professor Rogers tells us that in the four- teenth century there was no such thing as economic rent. Isinould like to ask this audi- ence if in San Francisco there is no such thiug as economic rent? Under feudalism every man had a piace. Feudsalism recognized the right to work. Does every mau in San Fran- cisco to-day have a place? * * * Yet, after all, down to_the nineteenth century the la- borer was politically a slave. Only with the present century has the laborer polit- ically become free. let us not min- imize or despise this. Labor has not yet learned to use the ballot, to use our advantage, but she holds there a weapon that can yet overthrow and c nquer every tyrant. With political democracy the laborer lias become potential.y aking. " But, gentle- men, uniess the laborer uses his ballot it is little worth, The wage system must go. I welcome this present crisis between Jubor and capital. it means the beginning of the end. Reforms never go bacaward. Lib.rty always gains. It must come by effort upon two lines. The in- dustrial, the political. Trade-unionism alone can never win. Socialism alone will never win. 1deprecate as the gravest mistake of Iabor to-day the feud between the trade- unions and the Socialists. gt A THE CHUTES CELEBRATION The Erotherhood of Carpenters and Jolners Have an Enjoy- able Outing.

Elsie Anderson, aged 12 years, living with her mother on Twenty-fourth street, near Cas- tro, met with a painful accident last Sunday that Dr. D. B. Plymire, the attending physi- cian, thinks will cause her to lose the sight of her Tighteye. The little girl was trying to untie a shoe lacing that had become knotted aud in doing so used a table-fork, which slipped from the knotand entered the eye. The patient hes suffered excruciating pain, but was resting more comfortably last night. x NEW TO-DAY. WITHOUT PAIN.
