Edward Xavier Rolker and Pierre Dou- tlet, a lyric tenor and a pianist, made their first appearance before a San Fran- cisco audience last night and created a more than favorable impression. The concer:, whick was given at the new hall, Sutter street, was well attended and the audience displayed considerable en- thusiasm. Douillet, the pianist, is a player of uncommon virtuesity. The Chopin “Scheizo” in B minor, the “Nocturne' in D flat and the “*Polonaise’” 1n A flat by the same composer were played in mag nificent siyle, quite equal, in fact, to Pachman’s interpretation of the same compositions. In the Bach *‘Toccata’ and “Fugue” Douiliet displayed « fine, firm touch ard the Weber-Tausig ““Invita- tion to the Danece,” which presents im- e technicai difficulties, was played 8 manner. Liszt’'s “Ha psodie No. 2’ showed mense work. The one darawback to Mr. Douillet's playing lay las: night in his scarce entering enough in‘o the individuality o each composer. He made little or no difference between Bach and Grieg, and the Grieg “Humoresque” the hum s conspicuous by its absence. A little “Go in D minor, of his own com- position was tuneful and brigit. Rolker, the tenor, showed himself to be a preily singer, possessed of sweel, Cear pper tones. H.s efforts were decidealy artistic, thotch he went in very heavily for effect. Handel’s recitation and aria frem *Jephtha,” “Waft H-.r, Angels,” was an accomplished bit of work, and the vocalist won encores for several other numoers which included selcctions by Gounced, Hinrich-, R.

The Polytechnic High School is in fact two schools, one running during the day and the otner in the evening, and it is to this circumstance that the principal of the day school attributes the thefis. { “It is next to impossibie 10 prevent | t | petty tnieving in the schools,” | said Principal Bush yesterday. “We have | done everything in our power toguard the day pupils, but it seems almosta hope- | less task. ‘*A notice was sent out three weeks ago, and a period set aside, during which time the pupils were obliged to put their names in their books,and a secret mark by which | their property might be identified. ‘The i boys and girls cannot take their books | nomie every night as they are very heavy. i “Any pupil who wishes to go to the | | trouble is at liberty to leave his or her | books in the principal’s office.

The Board of Education decided {last evening to make to-morrow a holiday in the public schools in view of the fact that to-day and Satur- day are holidays. Director Carew made the motion that brought about the result stated, saying that a large number of teachers as well as some of the pupils de- | sired 10 attend the Native Sons’ celebra- tion at Santa Rosa.

Sternberg A MATCH FR DUSKY WALGOTT National Athletic Club Now Anxious for McCoy to Meet Him, Feather-Weight Jimmy Lawler Signed for a Go With Eddy Williams of Boston. Connolly Willing to Face the Barba- does Wonder If Successful in His Fight With Zeigler. The pugilistic matchmakers are active. Last nient, shortly after the result of the McCoy-Ryan fight at Syracuse was known, Director Gibbs of the National Club wired East challenging either McCoy or Ryan to meet Walcott in this City, McCoy pre- ferred, the contestants to weigh in at the ringside at the midale-weight limat, 158 pounds. The dispatch wes dictated by O’ Rourke, Walcott’s manager. Eddie Connoliy, matched to meet Owen Zeigler before the Kuickerbocker Club on the evening of the l4th instant, states that it be is the victor in the contest he will challege Walcott, the latter to weigh in at 136 pounds at 6 o’clock on the night of the fight. From these attempts at matchmaking it would seem that the Lavigne-Walcott fight is farther «if than ever. The sturdy Lavigne admits that Wulcott is a tough customer. “Walcott,” said Lavigne last night, ‘4s a welter-weigut, while I am in the hight- weight class. It would be foolish for me to allow Walcott to weigh in &t 6 o'clock on the night of the fi:ht. Between that hour and the time of eniering the ring he could easily take on from four to five pounds, which would be a great advan- tage in his favor. Let Walcott weigh in at 137 pounds at the ringside and I will fight him."” This talk about the weights of the noted pugilists has aroused much interest in sportiug circles. Yesterdey Lavigne in his street clothes was weighed by a CALL reporter. He tipped the beam at 148 pounds. Walcott similarly attired weighs ut present 156. He takes on flesh rapidly while not training. Much money was wagered on the Mc- Coy-Ryan fight. At Corbett’s poolrooms nearly $9000 was bet, McCoy beinga 2101 favorite. The nex: contest will be given under the auspices of the Knickerbocker Club on the evening of 1Le 14th inst. Two fights are apbnounced tv be pulled off— Zeigler and Connolly, twenty rounds, and Case and Elmer, ten rounds. Zeig'er and Elmer are training at the Six-mile House, Connolly at the Ocean Beach and Case at Jim Carr’s, at the end of the Sutter-street car line, "All the men are reported to be in fine condition. ¥rom present indica- tions Connoliy will be favored in the bet- ting over Zeigler, Case over Eimer. The wagers on both contestants prom:se to be heavy. The Case-Elmer fight is attracting much attention. Eimer, although young in the business, 1s quile clever, 8 hard hitter and a game fighter. He has many friends who will back nun. His lack of ring experience will make his opponent the favorite. Case mude a fine shewing in his nght with Lon Agnew.

Last night, after the Mc- Coy-Ryan fight, Director Gibbs saia he would withdraw the offer, as the McQoy- Walcott proposition supplemented it. ettt awviniiy A Sad Case. James A. Hagerty walked into the office of the Eureka Society for the Protection of Chil- dren yesterday, leading his two little children, James A. and Carrie, and unfolded & sad story to Mr. Holbrook.

He ui80 said his wife'Was an immoral woman and had been in ths habit of treating the children cruelly. After listening to his story, Mr. Holbrook sent the children to the Mount St. Joseph Intant Asylum until the case could be looked fito. et Tt SR Welburn Arraigned. Osca M. Velburn, cx-Collector of Internal Revenue, appeared in the United States Dis- trict Court yesterday morning for arraign. menton forty-three charges of embezzlement. His counsel, Gavin MoNab, interposed a demurser on the ground that the indiciment does not specificaily state that Welburn re- ceived the money which he is eharged with baving illegally retnined and appropriated to his own use. The court took the maiter under advisement. ————— VISITORS to the city should not fail to inspect 8. & G.

Attorneys Pillsbury and Baggett Arrayed Against Each Other in Court. Judge Wallace Listens to the Discus- sion of the Constitution and the Statutes. Judge Wallace had another big audience when he opened court yesterday morning | to resume consideration of the suit brouznt by George K. Fitch for the purpose of ousting the Supervisors from office because they failed to fix the water rates | in the month of Fevrnary, as required by the constitution and a s:atute enacted in 1881. Attorney Pillshury, representing defendants, undertook to show why his clients should not be punished for their alleged negiect of duty. He did not con- tend that the rates were fixed in the time specified by the law, but insisted that the Supervisors when engaged in considera- tion of the water rates were in the dis- charge of quasi-judicial functions, and therefore were entitled to every in- tendment of the law in their favor; tust this was, infact, a criminal proceed- ing, and that the court had no jurisdiction to try the accusations without a jury; that it was improper and illegal to pro- ceed 10 trial on the petition of a private party, and finally that such a petition as had been filed by Mr. Fitch jor the re- moval of the Supervisors could not legally be entertained by the court until after a conviction had been secured. ; In ovening bis argument Mr. Pillsbury said he would address himself to the mogion to dismiss which ke haa presented at (’he beginning of the discussion. Mr. Pillsbury read from the opinion of the Supreme Court, in which that tribunal set aside the action taken by the Saper- visors in fixing rates without properiy in- vestizating the subject. 3 Mr. Pillsbury gave it as his opinion that the Supervisors while fixing the water rates were acting in a judic al capa- city, but Judge Wallace indicated that he did not agree to ih In bhis speech Mr. Pillsbury gave it as his opinion that it was neither practical nor possible to have fixed water rates in February. 4 Judge Wallace called attention to the language of the constitution providing that the rares must be fixed in February. He seemed to think that the language of the constitution was mandatory, not directory. Mr. Pillsbury further declared that the law denounces this omission on the part of the Supervisors as malieasance in office and insisted tnat every definition of mal- feasance shows that it is hignly criminai in character. Therefore. in order to secure a conviction it is necessary to show a criminal intent on the part of the defend- ants. No sach intent has been shown to exist here; buteven if it had been shown this court sitting without a jury could not pass judgment on the respondents in this proceeding, as there had been no in- dictment or information presented in the name of the People of the State of Cali- iornia, as is required in the trial of every criminal accusation that threatens to de- prive a citzen of any oi his rights. Judge Wallace—Isn't the common iaw in force here so far as this proceeding is concerned ? < Mr. Pillsbury—I think not. The in- tent of the statuie must be strictly con- strued in favor of the resrondents. At this pomnt Judge Wallace cailed the attention of counse¢l to section 10 of the Penal Code, which reads as follows: The omission to specify or affirm in this code | any ground of forfeiture of a public office, or other trust or special authority couferred by law, or any power couferred by law to im- peach, remove, depose Or suspend any public officer or other person holding any trust, ap- intment, or other special authority con- ?:fl'ed by law, does not affect such forieiture or power, or any proceedingjauthorized by law to carry into effect such 1mpeachment, re- moval, deposition or suspension. Mr. Baggett madea forci’ble arzument in response to Mr. Pi.lsbury’s presentation of the defense. Inthe beginning of his speech Mr. Baggeit sui. that the constitu. tion had declared in express termsthat its provisions are mandatory and that no au- thority has been given (o any court to de- c.are otherwise. In conclusion Mr. Baggett asked the court to declure that the constitution and statute mean exact!y Whai they say and to give judgment tursiig the Supervivors ont of office for disobeying the plain pro- visions of the law of the land. Judge Wajlace announced that he would take the tier under advisement and or- dered court adjourned uniil to-morrow morning, at whica time a decision is ex- pected. —_— P.ends Not Guilty. Captain Charles A. Jenks of Troop A, N. G. C., pleaged not guilty in Judge Conlan’s court yesterday fnorning to the cnarge of cruelty to animais preferred against him by Secretary Holbrook.

Swept on Arch Rock by the Tide and Saved by the Hospital Tug: The Camanche Nobly Withstands Ramming by a &Scow Schoomer. A Flood of Canned Salmon, Arch Rock, that old enemy to bay navi- gation, swelled its quite briliiant record of marine disasters yesterday mcrning by tearing loose square yards of the bottom of the wooden bark Ceylon. The accident to the bark might easily worse had not the United ates Marine Hospita! steamer George M. Sternberg happeneded alongside and lightened the blow received by grinding The Ceylon crossed the bar early in the morning in the full pride of its twenty- eight days from Honolulu, its 14 445 bass of sugar for John D. Spreckels’ Bros. and its experienced oid master, Captain Cal- houn, who is one of the oldest navigators on the coast and who has been sailing ves- sels into the harbor without pilot or tug for a generation. The vesse! sailed in on the flood tide, and soon after passing through the Golden Gate the vessel ceased to fill 1ts sails and it floated maiuly at the mercy of the current. One of the chief dangers attending the existence of Arch Rock is the fact that when the helpful tidal current is flowing in it tends to carry vessels straight to the rock, and this fact was again demon- strated by the experience of the Ceylon. It happenad that as the bark began to drift inward toward the rock as the wind went down the George M. Sternberg, with came aiongside. Captain Calhoun saw his danger and shouted to Captain McFariane of the tug to make fast and tow astern. Captain McFarlane was prompt with his astistance, which was as effective as the circumstances allowed, and which proba- bly averted a disaster zreater than that which oceurred. The quarantine steamer, acting as a tug, did its best, but belore the vessel could be got out of danger it struck heav- ily on the reef, which extends gradually from the point of rock above water. As the bark struck it careened until its yards touched the water across the George M. Sternberg, and a moment or two later it struck the reef again with a heavy blow. Immediately the surfice of the water was covered with floating pieces of wood, which constituted the second sheathing which the old craft had received in rec&nt years in the process of renovation. © T£5 rocks had torn loose square yards ¢k the wood in the bark’s keel and bottomi. The tug quickly had the vessel in deep water, however, and Captain McFariane at once proceeded to tow her ciear of Angel Island and toa point of sufety well towsra Goat Island before dropping her. The Ceylon pro- ceeded to M:ssion Bay, and a quick in- spection showed that though tne outer sheathing was badly torn off no leak of consequence had been made. After un- loading the vessel will be dockea, when the extent of her irnjuries will be known. The sccident will prob:bly give prac- tical emphasis to the dancer of Arch Rock in the harbor of S8an Francisco and may possibly hasten its removal. For many years Government engineers have recommended the blowing up of this prominent dangzer to navigation which stands at the mner entrai.ce to the harbor, the Chambar of Commerce has ofien in- cluded it in its demands ior urgent harbor ilaprovements and appropriations for its removal have been inciuded in Gongres- stonal appropriation bilis which have iailed to pass. It stands yet as it aid when the first Spanish galleons entered the bay, but its dynamite day is probably not far distant. The Ceylon was not the only thing which the tide found to sport with yester- day. The war monitor Camanche bad an- other dose of the periis of peace. Along about 3:30 P. M. the schooner Eliza Miller was sai.ing np the bay along ihe fairway, as she had a rignt to do, and the Caman- NEW TO-DAY.

A Schilling & Company San Francisco | che was taling at _anchor i ner place off Folsom street. Wind and tide were either too’ much or not enough for the Eliza Miller and her load of boards and she swept down with the ebb tide full on the oid monitor. Itdidn’t last but a moment or two, but considerable surface damage was done. The schooner had her bow- sprit and rigging made ready for repairs and the Camanche had some rust scraped off and a few stanchions and railings bent or tornloose. The mostserions result was the profanity of the old feliow with the pipe, who came up from below when the Camanche shivered from the first thump. The visible salmon supply is increasing daily bv the nundreds of thousands of cases arrivinz from Alaska canneries. Yes- terday the scnooner Premier got in with 2680 barrels ot salmon for the Alaska Packers’ Association, then the ship Eclipse arrived with 50,000 cases, and toward evening the shin Sterling passed in with 51,000 cases and 250 Chinese returned from the canneries.
