NEW YORK, Nov. 22 —A conference between President Potter of the League of American Wheeimen and President Orr of the Canadian Wheelmen’s Association, relative to Pacific Coast cy g diffi- cuities, was held to-day at the Waldori- Astoria. Orr explained the situation to Potter, and told the league president that, while the C. W. A. did not desire to sirain its pleasant relations with the L. w., in justice to its British Columbia division it could not debar L. A. W. outlaws of the Pacific Coast from competition in British Columbia race mee:s. The conference was a friendly one and Potter took the matter under consideration. Orr also asked for the support of the L. A. W. in securing an international championship meet for Canada in 1 SERKS FREEDOM FROM THRALDON Mrs. Smiley Weary of Being Under the Peculiar Power of Her Husband. Yielded to Him in Everything and Rarely Exercised Her Own Judgment. special Dispateh to THE CALL. CaLyn Orrice, Riees Hovse,) ‘WasHINGTON, Nov. 22. Elizabeth L. Smiley commenced pro- ceedings here to-day for a limited divorce from Charles W. Smiley. They were mar- ried in this city in 1890. Mrs. Smiley al- leges that they are first cousins; declares that some lime previous to their marriage her husband “had inoculated her with ideas not in accordance with modern civ- ilization and such was the influence the defendant gained over her mind thatshe saw things only in the light in which he presented them to her, rarely exercising her own judgment, so much so that she would put in writing requests to him to do many things utterly at variance with common-sense and admissions as to her conduct,” and that he even made her be- lieve it was a favor to take sums of her money and invest it in his name. Continuing the petition reciies that *‘he has made her married life one of continu- ous self-effacement, abnegation and bend- ing to his will, and she has been made to Lelieve it her duiy to yield to the slightest wish of an arbirary and exacting sell- appointed judge and master.”’ Ste alleges that he thought she de- served such treatment in order to become worthy to move in the same high plane in which he has led her to believe he moved. The petitioner asserts tnat he ‘‘made out a list of petty offenses against her which she still has, for which she should pay fines varying from 5 cents 1o $1, requiring her to agree 1o pay the same cheerfully and without appeal or argument as to the right or wrong thereol.”’ The defendant is a New Englander. Both lived in Washington for the last eight or ten years. He compiled the fisheries staiistics for the last census, and was subsequently sent by the fish com- mission to collect statistics on the Pacific Coast. —_——— Guardianship of Dorothy Creede. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 22.—The question of the guardianship of Dorothy Creede was arpued before Judge Caux to-day and submitted for decision. The proceedings are based upon the petition of Louisa Creede, wite of the late M. C. Creede, to be appointed guardian of the child, who was adopted by Creede & few months prior to_his death, and to whom he be- queatbed his estate. The court took the matter under advisement.

FIRST THOUGHT TO BE INCENDIARY | Men Worked All Night Remov- ing the Burning Coal From the Hold. PROMPT ACTION SAVED THE SHIP. She Will Shortly Leave for Port Orchard to Be Cleaned and Overhauled. The coal bunkers in the United States battle-ship Oregon caught fire Sunday evening from spontaneous combustion and for over eight hours the crew worked with & vengeance to smother what looked like a costly blaze. There were over 250 tons of coal in the vessel and prompt action alone saved the ship and fuel. The fire is supposed to have started from water leaking into the coal bunkers. This would eventually cause a terrific heat from accumulating gases. Luckily the fire started in but one of the bunkers and this was discovered before it had gained much headway. It was first discovered by one of the men who saw smoke pour- ing out of the hold. An alarm was immediately given and orders were issued to remove the coal from the vessel to the wharf. Steam pipes were attached and connected with the lower part of the vessel in an attempt to smother what fire might have been in other parts of the ship, as it was at first thought the fire had been the act of an incendiary. This proved to be without foundation, however, as the real cause was discovered as soon as the smoke cleared away sufficiently to allow the men to enter the hold with safety. ‘When tne orders were given to remove the coal the men went to work with a will, but the task was larger than had at first been supposed. The work was done with difficulty, as the smoke hindered the men in their attempts to quickly putout the bluze. During the whole night, after the fire had been discovered, the entire crew labored in removing the smoking and blazing coal, and it was not until day- break that the men were allowed to leave their work. As soon as the bunker could be entered the leakage of water was stopped, and the coal which had been removed was re- turned to the hold when all danger had passed. It wes a close call for the Oregon. Within a few days the battle-ship will steam to Red Rock, where her 560 tons of ammunition will be ‘removed to the Government magaziue. From there the ship will proceed fo Port Orchard to be cleaned and generally overhauled. The coal on board will first be removed to lighten the ship so #s 1o make it possible to have her dryiocked. As soon as the ship is properly righted the coal and am- munition will be returned to her decks and she' will be once more ready for action. Aid for the Woman’s Hospital. The managers of the California Woman’s Hospital are asking their friends to assist them in their work of charity by contributing toward the support of the hospiial. They ask for money, bedding, table linen, towels, groceries, and, in fact, anything, no matter how small, that couid be made useful about their institution. Donations will be received on to-day and to-morrow atIckelheimer Bros., 20 Geary street, — - Dennis Kearney Broke His Neck. Dennis Kearney, a barber about 60 years old, was tound dead at 5:15 o’clock yesterday | morning at the foot of a flight of steps leading to his room &t 220 Natoma street. The de- ceased bad been drinking heavily, and it is supposed that he fell backward while going upstairs. An autopsy by Dr. Gallsgher dis- closed the fact thal the neck of the deceased | was broken. SEALERS ARE ~ DISAPPEARING Only One Vessel From This Port Will Go Hunting Next Season. The Whaling Fleet Is Meeting With a Similar Fate on This Coast. Disasters and Deaths Have Almost Wiped the Two Fleets Out of Existence, The whalers and sealers are deserting San Francisco. A few years ago between forty and fifty vessels cleared for the Arctic to hunt the whale, while from thirty to forty schooners left for the coast of Japan and Bering Sea, seal hunting. All this is changed now, and where 2000 men were employed, not a tenth of that number will secure a berth next season. Two years ago about twenty-five schoon- ers loft this port on a sealing cruise. Next year only oneschooner, the Kate and Ann, will go out. All the others have either been sold or lost. Out of the men who went out on those vessels during the past two years, over 300 never returned. They lost their lives at sea, and the majority of the fatalities occurred on the Japanese coast. During the same period five whalers bave been wrecked, and there are only twelve of the fleet leit to go to sea this season. Twelve vessels are frozen up in the Arctic, and sight of them may never come out again, and out of those now in port not more than seven or eight will be fitted out this year. The old bark California is ready for another season. She has been fitted out by William Le¥is, and will get away for her regular cruise in a few days. She will go first to Honolulu, from there to the Okhotsk Sea, and finally bring up in the Arctic. Her crew is aboard, and they expect to eat their Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners somewhere on the high seas. Reinsurance on the British bark Tay- mount stil keeps climbing up. 8teisnow out 206 days from Liverpool, and was last spoken on June 6, in latitude 19 south, longitude 38 west. When speaking about her, British ship captains shake their heads and say that any vessel taking more than 200 days to make the trip from Liv- erpool to San Francisco must be having a very bad time of it. Tbe British ship Natuna is out 194 days from London, and fears for her aro also expressed. She was last spoken in latitude 48 south, longituae 63.44 west, on July 28. The American bark Alexander McNeil is now out eighty days from Newcastle, N. 8. W., and quite a number of vessels that left after her are now safely in port. Henry Peterson’s new gasoline boat, the William D, was launched yesterday, In a race from Oakland Creek to Folsom- street wharf the William D beat the Amy by nearly half a mile. The latter launch is to be cleaned and overhauled, and then Peterson s there will be a genuine race. The new boat is a larger and roomier craft than the Amy. ‘1wo whalers, Maauel Antone and Mike O’ Brien, started out 0 celebrate the facr that they were about to start on anothet cruise to the Arctic yesterday and both wound up in the Water-iront Receiving Hospital. Antone was suffering from a dislocation of the right shoulder-blade and O'Brien from a dislocation of the leit one. The men were drunk and tumbled down the stairs of their lodging-nouse on Clay street. The men on the bark Imperator, who are suffering frcm yellow fever, are get- ting along first rate. The apprentice is the only one who is very sick, and in his case the fever has not reached a crisis. 1f 0o new cases develop the Imperator will be released from quarantine the latter part of this week. The brig Galilee is discharging cocoanuts at Section 4 of the seawall and the arabs who infest the waier front are having a royal time of it. L. B.

The gunboat Wheeling was to have zone out on her cfficial trial trip yesterday, but a few minor repairs delayed h bhe wiil probably go out to-day and have a 48-hour test before Uncle Sam accepts her as one of his navy. LAST OF THE GHOST LECTURES Father Yorke .Spoke of "Our Own Spook” to a Large Audience Last Night. When Protestants and Catholics Fought Side by Side Bigotry Vanished. The War of the Revolution Prac- tically Made an End of Religious Intolerance. The weather las* night, although some- what inclement, was not severe enough to keep the people away from Metropolitan Temple, for that spacious edifice was filled with an audience eager to hear Father Yorke deliver the last of the series of lec- tures on ‘‘Ghosts.” John Barrett of the Catholic Truth So- ciety, under whose auspices the lectures were given, made a short though forcible address, in which he defined the position of the Catholic church. He said its mis- sion was to teach the living truth, before which bigotry must vanish. The Arcadian Quarter, which is composed of four young Iadies, sang “Annie Laurie,”’ and were obliged to respond, so hearty was the encore. Father Yorke was then introduced. His appearance was the signal for an outburst of applause which continued for several minutes. The reverend gentleman be- gan his lecture by referring to the prejudices of non-Catholics towards the church, which were not to be feared were it not for a dJeep-rooted aversion which they had to hear and examine the claims of the Catholic church. He then went on to relate the history of the American colonies and how the ghosts of the old world found their way into tue new. The old laws which were in force ngainst the Catholies in England obtained in Virginia, and it was not until William Penn established the colony of Pennsyiva- nia that Cathoiics and Protestants found a place where they could be at peace, for Penn built his new State on the founda- tions of reiigious liberty. ‘I'he speaker dwelt on the persecutions of Catholics which took place in Virginia and other colonies following the acces- sion of William of Orange, and which continued up to the time when the rup- ture took place between the colonists and England. Spesking of those events Father Yorke said: Events rapidly drove the colonists to a com- plete break with England. “If we do not hang together,” sai! one of the signers of the Dec- laration of Indepandence, ““we shall all hang separately.” The common cause, the common enthusiasm, broke down the barriers of re- ligious intolerance. Catholics and Protestants stood shoulder 1o shoulder against English tyranuy, and between men whostand shoulder to shoulder for freedom no ghosis can come. The tovic of religious liberty soon became a common subject of discussion. Many of the States caught the new spirit, and in the cousti- tution adopted afier the Declaration of Inde- pendence, removed former restrictions on Catholics and admitted them to citizenship. The speaker then related the history of that heroic strugele for liberty and the part the Catholics took in it. e referred to the establishment of the constitution of the United States and the gradual dis- appearance of the laws prohibiting Cat: 0- lics from holding office. The ghosts we.e laid for a time, but with the immigration vetween 1820 and 1830 they were revived again through the instrunientality of the Orangemen,who had brought their hatred of Catholics with them from the old country, Churches and convents were buined and the inhabitants subjected to great indignities ana many outr: perpetrated on the Catholics, ing, he said: . The microbe of bigotry has a period, like the microbe of vellow fever or cholera. From 1830 to the Civil War, every fen years saw an outbreak of fanaticism. In 1834 we had the burning of the Charleston convent; in 1844 we nad the native American riots: in 1854 we had the Know-Nothing riots. As yet we have considered only the ancient ghosts, which flourished in Eogland, and which were im- ported here. In the forties we met with a new ghost, which had its origin on this con- u;.em, and which is in very truth our own ghost, Bpeaking of the establishment of what are now known as parochial schools, Father Yorke said: The schools of Philadelphia were modeled on the same plan as the schools of Massa- chusetts. The Protestant Bible was read to the children, and naturally the Catholic parents complained of this as an_abridg- ment of the rights of conscience. In 1544 Bishop Keurick petitioned the School Board to aliow the Catholic children use the Catholic Bible. He did not ask that the Protestant Bible be exciuded; he simply asked that the Catholics be permltted toadopt that version which tneir church sauctioned. The petition wes misrepresenled, and mis represented designedly. The cry went forih that the Catholics wanted todrive the Bibie from the schools, The preachers as usual took up the cry, and the ghosis of the little red schoolhouse and Rome’s red hand scared the Quakers. The Orangemen of Philade phia, all soreigners, were the backbone of the native American party. They got up & great meet- ing 1o denounce the Pope, and they also toon care toget up a riot. This has always been a familiar trick of no-popery mobs. We have had some specimens of it in this city, and we know the dexterity with whicn they can cre- ate a disturbance among their own *piug uglies” and then saddle the blame on the Papists. In Philadelphia this trick was tried with success. The mob began an attack on the houses occupied by Catholies. Naturally the Catholics defended their property and some of the rioters were justly killed. Next the ¢ty was “to the nunnery.” - A rush was made for the house occupied by the Sisters of Cnarity; but a volley from a iew defenders drove the scoundrelly cowards off. The riots which foliowed were treatea of and the growth and decay of the “Know Nothing Party.” Father Yorke concluded by saying: The end of the anti-Catholic agitation was at hand. The great struggle between the North and South weas looming up. In 1856 the Know Nothing party was swept out of ex- istence in the North. It lingered in tne South, but greater issues killed it there too. The cry of unpatriotism mude against the Catkolics and the Irish was drowned in their | answer to Lincoln’s call for voiunteers, and ir the tramp of their regiments marching to t.e front. The war brought Catholies and Prot- estants close together, as they had been brought close togeiher in the days of the Revolution. For a time Our Own Ghost was laid in bloo League of the Cross. An entertainment will be given by Com- pany C, League of the Cross Cadets, in Metropolitan Temple on Thanksgiving eve. The main feature of the evening's entertainment will be a lecture by Rev. J. P. Ferguson of St. Patrick’s Church, Oakland, on *‘The Inquisition.”” Father Fer. guson has the reputation of being an in terest- ing speaker, and his vresence will undoubt- edly attract a large audience. ————— A Woman’s Fury. D. Otero, a barber at 804 Pine street, had several cutson his hands dressed at the Re- ceiving Hospital yesterday afternoon. Then he went and swore out & warrant in Judge Low’s court for the arrest of Mrs. Decideria M. Olsen, 1117){ Kearny street, on a charge of assauit with & deadly weapon. They used to be friends and when Otero called upon her Sunday nighishe attempted tostab him with akuifein the face. He protected his face with his hands, hence the culis. NEW TO-DAY.
