At Mechanics’ Pavilion this afternoon | | wil! be held the grand junior rally of the | League of the Cross. Thisis the decisive contest in the essay competition. During the past year the different parishes have bad contests, the winners of which have competed in distinct contests. Now the district champions are to strive for victory in the grand contest, and the winner will receive a handsome diamond medal of- |fered by ‘Archbishop Riordan. Tkere are five competitors for the medal, | and the subject of their essay is, “The Ne- cessity for the Sunday Closing of Saloens.’ The contestanfsare so evenly matched that while the ‘guesses are numerous the outcome of the friendly strife is very much in the dark. The young orators with the districts. which they represent are: District 1, Arthur Curtis of St. Peter’s parish; district 2, Charles Asmussen of Y CURTIS 8t. Joseph's parish; district 3, John J. Greeley of Co. ‘H, L. C. C, St. Bren- dan’s parish; district 4, Edward Deasy of Co. A, L. C.C., Cathedral parish; dis- trict 5, Thomas Gregory of St. Joseph's *Wasserman has | parish, Berkeley. The staff of judges includes Professor David Starr Jordan of Leland Stanford Su- | University, Hon. R. Y. Hayne of Hast- ings Law College and Mrs, Margaret With these impartial judges to decide upon the merits of the respective essays there can be no doubt but that the best will win, All the preparations for the seating of the ‘large audience which is expected have been carefully made and sured that there will be no confusion in thie handling of the crowd. The various branches of the league, es- corted by the cadet companies, will march from their parish churches in time to ar- rive at the Pavilion at 2 o’clock. Marshals who will direct the line of Deane. it is as- march have been a-signed to each branch, and these will conduct their delezations to the places allotted to them on the main floor. The doors of the Pavilion will be open at1o'clock, and a competent staff of ush- ers will attend to seating the aundience. The First Regiment, Loague of the Cross Cadets, will form outsde the hall shortly after 2 o’clock, and as soon as they march into the Pavilion the exercises will begin. The League of the Cross Cadets band will furnish music for the occasion and will accompany the singing of the hymns. “Veni Creator,” sung by the audience, will be the opening number on the pro- gramme. Some brief introductory re- marks by the chairman, Thomas H. Fal- Jon, will immediately precede the drawing for places on the programme by the differ- DWARD J. DEAD ent contestants. With musical selections liberally distributed between them the essays will then be read. As the contest is expected to be so close that it will take the judges considerable time to reach a decision Rev. Father P. C. Yorke has been asked to deliver an ad- dress. After the report of the judges bas been announced by one of their number the winner of the contest will be presented with the medal by Very Rev. J. J. Pren- dergast, V. G. The singing of the Te Deum by the andience will conclude the exercises. Among the musical numbers on the programme are: Cornet duet, *“Miserere,” Frank Lycett and William Cadogan; by the audience; bass solo, (a) “Clang of the Forge”; (b) It Was Not So to Be,”” Rob- “‘America,” ert S. Anspach. The selections by the band are: “King Cotton,” “Poet and Peasant,” ‘“The Mill in ‘the Forest,” “Maid Marian” and “'Ln Fiesta.” RADER HITS DR THOMPSON The Liberal Preacher Goes to the Defense of Dr. Cruzan, Fires Hot Shot at the Reverend Editor of the Occident. He The Attack Upon the Congregation- alists Denounced as Narrow Minded, The last number of the Occident, the organ of the Presbyteriah cuurch of this coast, published- a long ‘article, in whieh the editor, the Rev. James Marshal Thompson, excoriated the Congregational church in general and Rey. J. A. Cruzan in particular. The articie is under the head, “Congresationalism and. Heresy About the Bay.”” The attack was based upon the action of tbe council of recog- nition, heid last week, at which' Rev. Mr. Cruzan and the little church at Berkeley were received into fellowship by tbe mem- bers of that gathering of the leading pas- tors and laymen of the Congregational church. In tbe introduction of his attack, Mr. Thompson of the Occident says: There have been intimations and indica- tions for a year past that the strong tide of skepticism—kuown by the name of higher criticiSm—was sweeping many of the minis- ters of the Congregational churcn_about San Francisco away from the system of belief .- cepted by the fathers.

So critical has the situation become tuat the Government has taken the matter in banc and is devising ways, sugzested by men of experience in that country, to afford relief and supplies to the be'eaguered miners. Itis reported that the plan most in favor by the Government is the one that contemplates moving already accumulatea at S:. Michael up the Yukon River upon the ice by means of an ice train that not only will be capable of rapid locomotion, but will also be able to haul a vast quantity of supplies. Quite in line with this idea, though superior to anything heretofore suggested in mechanical eauipment, is the plan adopted by a recently organized freight transportation company to handle sup- plies between St. Michael and the gold field over the ice floor of the Yukon River. The above cut represents a road loco- motive made by the Best Manufucturing Company of San Leandro that has been selected by the company as best adapted for the use contemplated. This engine is of 50-horsepower, and is capuble of hauling upon suitable’sleds | fifty tons of freight at an average speed of from three to four miles per hour, or from seventy-five tu one hundred miles in twenty-four hours. | The yurpose of the company is to use two of these engines, one to act as “tencer” 1o the other. 'The one will go in advance at a hi_her rate of «peed to select and prepare the road ana to procure wood from the river banks, to be converted into fuel for the use of the freight engine. Botn engines will be provided with a “caboose” or attendant car that will serve asa sleeping and eating department for the men. There wiil be iwo crews of men to each encine to enable continuous prog- ress both day and night. There is every reason to believe that this project is the most practical one yet pro- muigated for the immediate transfer of supplies 10 the imprisoned Klondike min- ers. The Best Manufacturing Company have placed throughcut this and foreign coun- tries a vast number of ther engines, which are used for purposes that few other {raction engines are capable of perform- ing. They are aaanted for and are used in many lumber camps, in the plowing and harvesting of immense wheat farms and are rapidly displacing the use of mule teams in the hauling of borax and salt from the mines across the sandy p.ains of the south.

Drummond, a prominent and wealthy citizen and president of the Drummoud Tobacco Company of this eity, died here Friday as the result of a complication of kidney and oti:er troubles, resuiting from the grippe, Mr. Drummond was born near Alton, 1lL, and was in the tobacco business all his life. His plant is one of the largest in the country. His wealth, aside from h s tobacco plantation, is esti- mated at $3.000,000. This will be inherited by his sons, Harrison, James and Charles, bis daughter Rachel and his widows delivered anumber of addresscs in'this city, in which he departed from the strict orthodoxy of the denomination and de: clared that he did not believe that Jonah swallowed: the whale or that the whale swallowed -Jonah. On that occasion Mr. Thompson, in the Occident, severely criticized Mr. Rader, and his subseguent articies showed that he was not at all pleased that the leading lights ‘of the Congregational church sup- ported Mr. Kader and shewed no disposi~ tion to cast him out of the church. One of “the gentieman’s most stanch support- ers was Mr. Cruzan, the editor of 1he Pa- cific, the organ of the Congregational church, and sccording to thie party re- ferred to, the Occident’s editor has not lost a chance since to prod, not only the church in general, but Mr. Cruzan in par- ticular, because of their indorsement of Mr. Rader. The latter gentleman was seen -at his home last evening, and he was somewkhat averse to say very much at first about the attack, but he was strong in his opinion thatit was not at all becoming in the editor of the Occident to go so far out of his way to haul the memuvers of the Con- eregational church over the coals for heresy, when, as he remarked. tnere are enougn neretics in hisown church to keep him wvusy for some time to come. Dr. Rader said tbat under ordinary circum- stances he would not haveanythiug to say to Dr. Thompson’s attacks. He did not wnen he (Rader) was the subject last winter, but iet his friends make all the answers uecessary. Oae of his best de- fenders was none other than Dr..Cruzan, and for whom he felt justified in ad fense in the neme of justice and righf. Continuing, Dr. Rader said: 1 do not care to enter into a discussion with the Occident or anvbody else. Asa member of the council which recogniz-d Mr. Cruzan’s fitness to preach, I can say that he expressed himseif with character- istic frankness upon the great doctrines of our faith. We donot expect every clergy- man to agree with every other clergyman in one denomination. We are not like so many pegs—all of a size—but conserve our freedom and individuality. Mr. Cruzan was regarded as sound on the funda- mental doctrines. He may have disagreed on smalier matters. “As to the attack of this man Thomp- son of the Occivent it really ' doesu't amountto anvtbing, bezause Le has.no in- fluence, doesn’t know anything about the higher criticism or the new theology, and more than all else is icnorant of denomi- national propriety. This attack upon the Congregational churchis unaignified and without a proper regard for ihe finer sense of “intcrdenominational fellowship. Mr. Thompson has seen several ghosis since he came .10 San Francisco.” He'is making & reputation for finding Lieretié«, He can tell a heretic. by the cut of his coat. And once his eve'is on him he hunts him down with the Occident. : ‘A numoer of his brethren have apoio- gized for his behavior. Heisa good man, but bas ot yet learned the lesson that all men will not think as he wishes them to think and that tue greal .mass of the cierzy are moving beyond the narrow limits of uis theological honzon. Nothing wiil come of this whatever, except a iittie newspapor advertising for .the Occident. It is not fair to say that this is an attack of the Presbyterian brethren upon a sister body. Itisnot. ltissimpiy the opinign of the editor of the Occident. Itis an un- beard of thing for a member of-one sect to denounce the doctrinal statement of another, and the world is too broad and progressive to toleraie any such.attack. “Mr. Thompson hasa perlect right to oppose by reason, but not by wrath., To zccuse Mr. Cruzan of ignorance, crudeness and inconsistencies, and the Congreg: tional ciurch of Unitariani-m, Universal- ism and infidelity is not the way 1o estab- lisn the broihernood of man and the fel- tion of electricity we can ‘FULL SET OF TEETH o'clock. .
