Sihler, an inspector representing the Agricultural Department of the Gov- ernment, is here 1n California to contract the quarantine limits, and the State board has appointed C. J.

Attorney Ach Finish in the other | { | s His Argument Figel Habeas Corpus Case. The argument in the Fige! habeas corpus case was resumed by Attorney Ach in Judge Cook’s court yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock, and he coniinued speaking until 6. He reviewed at iength the evidence in the case which tended to show that the defendant had kilied Isaac Hoffman. Mr. Ach laid particular stress on the testimony of Figel, and pointed out the differences in the statement made by him to Chief Lees and the evidence he gave when on the stand before Judge Campbell. In speaking of this statement made to Chief Lees the aitorney gave the executive of the Police Department a gentle slap saying that the stalement given out was s changed as to be entirely at variance with the notes as taken by Heyneman the stenographer, and ac- cused Chief Lees of wilifully suppress- ing evidence. The argument continued along the line of the evidence of the forgeries aud em- bezzlemenis. and the impeachment of the tesiimony of the alibi witnesses intro- duced by the detense. Mr. Ach conciuded by calling the court’s attention to the cross-examination of tha defendant in regard to the sale of the pistol to Hoffman, and asked that the Judge read it very carefully, and note the evasive and contradictory answers given Judge Louderback will begin his argu- nient this morning at 9 o’clock. Judge Murphy will follow him, and Gv:ner'.\ll Barnes will close. ————— LEAGUE OF THE CROSS St. Francis Branch Will Hold Religious Exercises Next Tuesday Evening. St. Francis Braach League of the Cross will inaugurate a new fealure in connec- tion with their work by holding religious exercises next Tuesday eveninz in the hz!l in the basement of St. Francis Church, Vallejo street and Montgomery avenue. The board of officers of the League of the Cross Cadets will celebrate ihe third anniversary of the organization nex | che | Mayor of San Fiancisco. Tie disgraced lot are evidently mistaken as to the procedure of the Supreme Court. The order made by Chief Justice Beatty can in no way be considered as even a par- tiai victory for the “ex-8apes.” The court could of coarse have refused to consider the petition of Morton mandamusing the Auditor to accept the levy presented 10 v the old board, but the Justicer 1ght that they should give them a 1ce for their lives Without discussing the merits of the petition of Petitioner Morton the court made the following order: THOMAS MORTON, Petitioner, vs. WILLIAM BRODERICK as Auditor of the City and County of Sun Francisco, Respondent. Upon the reading and filing of verified petition of mer in the above entitied proceed- ings, it is hereby ordered that a writ of mandate issue out of this court di- rected to the pondent, William Broderick, as Auditor of the city and county of San Francisco, commanding him to proceed the compuiation and rating of the taxes legally charge- able against the homas Morton, pe- re with the property enumerated upon the assessment roll and year ending of the city ancisco for the 98, now in his county of San June : ol possession, at the rates fixed by orders | Nos. 3114 in the afore: and 311 aid v or that he show ¢ . wet forth at length | rified petition herein | ase why he has not done 50, before this court in bank, on Monday, the h day of September, | 1897, at 10 o’clock. Dated September 23, 1897. BEATTY, Chief Justice. By the court further ordered that no- tice of said hearing be served upon the BEATTY. The order provides for a discussion of the writs of the mandamus proceedings on next Monday. The new toard will be represented by Attorney Baggett and the old board by Attorney Garret McEnerney. The decision of the Supreme Court in regard to the petition will practically end | the Supervisorial wrangle. The refusal of the court to grant the petition applied for will take the last gnst of wind out of the old boara’s saiis. It seems that the old board will end its siruggle if aun ad- verse decision is handed down. The ridiculous feature of the wrangle is the effort of the ousted eight Supervisors to convince the public that they are still the only pebbles on the beach. They met yesterday in the Fulton House bedroom, and in a soiemn way aiscussed city affaire. They acted iike prize-tighters who had been put to sleep and were not aware of the fact that the referee had de- | clared them ont. When the meeting was called to order by acting Maycr Jimmy Briti, a note was | read stating that “‘ex-Supe” Edward Smith was sull on toe sick list. Devany. De- lany, Sheehan, Rivers, Morton and Has- kins were present, however, and answered the rolicall. The formality of calling the names of Supervisors Roitanzi, Clinton, Dodge and Lackmann was gone throvgh as usual. To keep up tne pretense of work- ing, tie ousted talked for half an hour over the proposition of making those whose business is in cellars and whose en- trances occuny a_portion of the sidewalk pay a municipal license. The peculiar vart of this action is that when in office these men granted permit- to a number of saloon ana restaurant keepers to construct the very entrances that it is now proposed to tax. A resoluticn covering the proposition was introduced by Devany and referred to commiitee consisting of Devany, Shee- han and Haskins, for the purpose of hay- jng an ordinance covering the matter drawn. Another meeting will ve held at 3 o’clock this afternoon. LILIDOKALANI TO LEAVE. Hawaii’s Ex-Queen to Start To-Morrow Evening for Washington to Re- oppose Anuexation.

The Board of Health representatives were given every assistance by Miss Lake of the Cuinese mission, and it was her knowledge of affairs in the Chinese quar- ter that materially aided the physiciansin making the discoveries they did. It was found that in the crowded tene- ments, where Chinese families often wash and cook and live in thesame apari- ments, cases of diphtheria had occurred without the proper notice bhaving been given the authorities, and in one instance a girl had died in a room where gentle- men’s underwear was atthe time being made. The physicians were naturally indig- | nani at the staie of affairs discovered, and icis probable that other and more exten- sive inspections will be made at once to prevent the repetition of such cceurrences. Quite a number of children were founa that were suffering irom throat troubles, and in al! such cases the swabs of the | section compelling the wa; bacterinlogical office were used for the purpose oI obtaining materials for cul- tures. | In one case—inat of a child that died on | Wednesday—the physicians were reason- | ably cert. that the disease was genuine diphtheria, and they signed a certificate | io that effect.

To a section of the report grantine the Board of Supervisors the power to fix the hours of labor and the compensation of emploves of thecity Edward Rosenberg offered an amendment as follows: Provided thateizht hours shall be the maxi- mum hours of labor on any calendar duy ; that the wages of skilied iaborers shall be the rul- ing trades-union raies and the minimum wages of unskilled laborers shail be $2 per day.

The section of the report giving the | Supervisors authority to grant franchises for the construction of street railways cipated in bv nearly every member of the committee present. Amendments to the section were intro- duced to restrict the term of franchise to twenty-five years, against fifty 2s it now and providing that at the end of that term ail franchises shall revert to the city and not be regranted.

LOVELACE. Death came to relieve Health Officer A.S. Lovelace of his sufferings at 5:30 o’clock vesterday morning. The end was not unexpected, for it was known to the physicians who were called toattend him on Monday last, when he was stricken with apoplexy, that he could not survive, other diseases having so undermined his constitution as to make it impossible for him to rally. The end came peacefully, his wife; mother-in-law, Mrs. Washburn; Mrs. Harris, an aunt, and Market In- spector Ben Davis of the Board of Heaith being at his bedside. As soon as the news of Dr. Lovelace’s death had been communicated to the members of the Board of Health, a special meeting was called for the purpose of taking action. Dr. Morse siated the object of the meeting, and appointed Drs. Wiliiamson and Fitzgibbon & committee to draft resointions relating to the deceased and the es- teem in which he was held by the department. Drs. Hart and Williamson were appointed pallbearers, and it was ordered that ali employes of the department at- tend the funeral in uniform. The funeral will be held on Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock, from Masonic Tem- ple and under the auspices of Excelsior Lodge, of which he was a memb'r. Cali- fornia Commandary No. 1, Knights Templar, to which Dr. Lovelace belonged, will aclas an escort. Dr. Lovelace was born in Missouri foriy-two years ago, and came to this State at an early age, He graduated from the Medical College of the Pacific in 1878, and shortly afterward established himself in a practice at Colusa. Here he mar- ried Miss Washburn, one of the belles of the citv. Larer Dr. Lovelace removed 10 Sacramento, where he was appointed Health Officer. The deceased returned to San Francisco in 1895, and was appointed Healitn Officer, in which posi:ion he made an enviable record. Dr. A. P. O’Brien has been appointed to fill the position of Health Officer until Dr. Lovelace’s successor is selected by the board. i BASEBALL ON A BASIS UF HONESTY Yellow Journalism in Ath- letics to Be Done Away With, FORMATION OF A W LEAGUE. Preliminaries Completed at a Velodrome Association Meeting, Work on New Grounds Will Commenced Within Two Weeks. Be The deathblow to vellow journal inter- ference in baseball affairs has been dealt. At a meeting of the Velodrome Associa- tion Jast night the preliminary organiz:- tion of a new baseball league was effected which will do away with dishonest meth- ods in athletics. Representatives of sev- eral baseball clubs met the Velodrome management. Propositions were sub- | mitted vro and con, and it wasagreed that when play in the new league began the players were to recelve 50 per cent of the net receipts—30 per cent more than the teams in the Examiner tournament have been receiving heretofore and 20 per cent more than they are to receive, now that the dissatisfaction has caused the saffron managers to come to terms. At the meeting last night the manacers of four teams met the Velodrome Associa- tion, which was represented by President | Unger, Mr. Kalischer and Thomas Rior- dan, and plans were discussed for the converting of the former bicycle grounds into a baseball park. The different man- agers submitted their opinions of a fair percentage of the receipts, and a division on a basis of 50 per cent to the clubs was | finally agreed upon. Acting upon a sug- gestion of Mr. Crowly the Velodrome As- sociation agreed to send a representative to the different towns having bail grounds to make arrangements with them as to rates demanded. The league is to be formed by the own- ers of the ball grounds in the various towns, the directors to consist of the managers of the clubs. At every game played each clubis to have a representa- tive at tue gate, that is, one at the gate and the other in tLe box-office, so that the players will know that they are being fairly treated by the management. The way things are run? by the Examiner tournament the different managers have to take the returns submitted by the door- tenders employed by McNeill, and the players themselves those submitted them by their manager. Work is to be commenced on the grounds about the 4th or 5th of October, | the Velodrome people promising to have | them ready lor a game two weeks foliow- | ing. The plans proposed are in every way superior to Central Park, as the grounds are much Iarger and afford every | CAME HERE WITH TONS OF GOLD The Moana Brings Nearly $4,000,000 From Australia FOR UNITED STATES CCINAGE. This Money Will be Paid at Once to Farmers and Fruit Men of California. SHIPHENT CHEAPER THAN EXCHANGE. Banks Amply Supplied With Specie. The Only Diversion Is to Sup- ply Absentee Californians. The steamer Moana of the Oceanic Steamship Company's line arriving from Australia yesterday brought to this port golden treasure in English sovereigns to the value of $3,750,000. A ship of the same line that arrived earlier in the month brought §2,500,000 in specie. This gold was at once taken to the Mint in this city and there exchanged for gzola coins bearing the mint stamp of the United States. In due course of time the British gold will be melted and converted into American ‘‘double eagles.” ‘The gold comes to San Francisco to pay the farmers and fruit-growers for grain and iruit shipped o England. The bal- ance of trade is now in tavorof the United States in general and the State of Califor- nia in particular. When the new tanff law went into effect THE CALL in a pros- perity article made the predicuion, based on the juagment of a well-known banker of th's city, that Europe would soon be shipping gold to th- United States. The prediction is verified sooner than was ex- vected. The sum of §6,250,000 which hasrecently come from Australia will be distributed of this State. The reason for remittance via Australia is easiiy explained. The English merchant owes a house in San Francisco for grain and fruit bought 1n | this market. At the same the merchant in Australia owes the Englishman for zoods bought in London. To simplify the | commercial tiansaction of squaring ac- counts the Australian is directed to remit certain sums to San Francisco. The lat- | ter tinds it cheaper to ship the gold direct to San Francisco than to remit by ex- chance. The treasure which arrived on the Mo- ans yesterday was consigned to the Lon- | 16 and has not been seen since. | years of age, ruddy complexion and reddisu mainly to the farmers and fruit-growers | don, Paris and American Bank, the Bank of British Norih America, the Anglo- Californian Bank, Wells, Fargo & Co. and Descompte de Paris. The transaction at the United States Branch Mint in San Francisco is speedy and simpie. The foreign gold is weigher! and its value in weight paid over to the owner in American coin within twenty- four hours. The gold remains in San Fran- cisco, as exchange seldom reaches tne ;lrh;inph;lg price by rail across the continent. he shippin rice is $175 upon each 100, rEE $ p It is a significant fact that the banks of San Francisco to-day are abundantly sup- plied with newly coined gold caused by the output of the gold mines and the con- signments of gold from abroad. The greatest drain on the money re- sources of California is the cash remitted by our banks every month toabsentee Cal- ifornians in Europe.. In onesen-e women Wwho have a notion that it is fashionable to llvs_abmu_d are responsible for this drain. It is difficult to ascertain how much money is sent from tue banks of this city to maintain Californians in high-class European style, but it is approximately vlaced at $1,000,000 a month. NOTES OF THEATERS. Changes in ‘A Virginia Courtship” at the Baldwin. Some chopping and changing bas been done to “A Virginia Courtship” at the Baldwin, with the result that the new play is more effective, particularly at the end of the first act, where the fainting scene is now omitted. 50 mahy theater-goers have showed a desire to purchase seats for “A Virginia Courtship’ that it will be con- tunued for the whole of next week, «“The Wife” is running smoothly at the Columbia.

The managers of the yellow journal’s baseball tournament are between the | devil and the deep sea. Havnz expelled the Reliance and the Gilt Edge teams from the tournament games Monday, they propose to hold a meeting at 12 o'clock to-day to reinstate them. This radical change of front was oc- casioned by the publication in yesterday's CALL of a rule promulgated by the | managers wherein the statement was explictly made that “in future tourna- ment: clubs will be allowed to play exmbition games whenever they please and with whom they please, s0 long as they do not interfere with schedule tournament games.”” The Reliince and Gilt Edge nines were expelled by the tournawent committes because they played an exhibition game at Sacramento Sunday, which did not in- terfere with a schedule tournament game. But the partisans of these two nines con- tend, and seemingiy with a great deal of justice, that the clubs were expelled be- cause they were the stirongest in the league and would probably defeat the rine | vored by the management to win the $1000 trophy. Many contend that if the $1000 | were won by the club thus favored that sum would be returned to the manage- ment, the players receiving no portion of the award. The Gilt Edge and Reliance teams have stood ont for .he 40 per cent basis, 20 per cent going 10 each of the contesting clubs. The Will & Fincks and the California Markets were in this compact, but it is understood that they have comrromised for 20 per cent. In fact Secretary Prin:le | of the commities is authority ior the statement. Ye-teraay there were a number of meet- ings of baseball magnates in thisciy. Cal | Ewing and F. W.

Kripp and Henesey were for formiug the new associatior at once, opening tne sea- «on with games at S:cramento and Stock- ton Sunday, the Gilt Edges and Olvmpics of this city plaving at the former place and the Stocktons and Reliances at the latter. Ewing, aiter consulting with Secretary Pringle, who was the aunthor of the motion to expel the Reliance and Gilt Edgeteams at Monday’s meeting, favored postpon- ing -the proposition until to-dav. It is understood that Pringle, Crocker and Newhall now favor reinstatin: the teams and acceding to their 40 per cent de- mands. Itis now proposed by the management to give $1000 toward defrayinz a Thanks- giving dinner for the poor. But this sum will be taken out of the charity fund, and will not be, as many suppose, a gratuitous offering from the management.
