Senator Felton, STAYFORD SAIG TO FAVOR SPESCER. | | Railroad Influence Did Not Suggest, Commexd or Sustain the Appoint- ment of Judge McKenna. Since the news came from Washingten that President McKinley had decided to appoint Joseph McKenna Associate Jus- | tice of the Unitea Siates Supreme Court, | to fill the vacancy caused by the retire- | ment of Justice Fieid, a campaign has | been planned on the Pacific feat Mr. McKenna's confimation in the Senate. [ | The Evening Bulletin of December 7, in [ an editorial article, raig, in speaking of ices of four years in the House did i atly to his knowledge of law. His | subscquent appointment to be Circuit Judge | has always been attributed to the fluence of anford. The supporters of Mr. McKenna suspect that his enemies are seeking to establish tbe impression that rairoad influences suggested his appointment to the circuit judgeship, and that such intluences are, therefore, advocating his advancement to the Supreme Court. THE CALL is in possession of information to prove be- vond the shadow oi doubt that Mr. Me- | Kenna’s appointment to be Circuit Judge | was not recommended by Senator Stan- ford. Proof of & positive character can be further introduced to show conclusively | that Senator Stanford opposed McKenna | and favored another man for the judge- | ship. | Ex-United States Senator Qharles N. Felton was serving in the Senate at the time President Harrison nominated Mr. McKenna for Circuit Judge. He was seen by a CaLL reporter at the Pacific-Union Club yesterday ed it Mr. McKenna owed his appointment to be Circu’i Judge | to Senator Stanford. Mr. Felton inquired the motive for asking the question of { him, end was told that men who were | opposinez Judge McKenna for Justice of the United Stiates Supreme Court were secking to create the public impression that the influence of great corporations | had once been invoked in McKenna's | tfavor. Mr. Felton’'s attention was also called to the editorial article in the Even- | ing letin. After a brief reflection he | reptiea: “‘The assertion that Senator Stanford’s influence caused Mr. McKenna to be ap- pointed United States Circuit Judge is who!ly without warrant. The suggestion to avpoint McKenna did not emanate from Senator Stanford. He did not urge, ~ustain or commend theappointment. In fact he desired the selection of another man. Mr. McKenna was appointed on | » recommendation of a n.ember of Pres- ident Harrison’s Cabinet and a United Senator.” om other sources the informatlon is | obtained that Senator Stanford really de- | sired the appointment of Judge Spencer of San Jose, and at no time pending the selection could he be induced to advocate | McKenna's nomination for the place. The President, Mr. Elkins, then in the Cabi- | net, and Senator Felton were the men who | favored McKenna for Circnit Judge. ; Lawless Again in Luck.

St. Mary’s Cathearal, on Van Ness avenue, was filled with a large and fashionable company last evening, who had assembled to witness the nuptials of the popular young physician, Dr. Henry J. Sartori, and Miss Aida Sbarboro, daugnter of Mr. and Mrs, A.Sbarboro. The alter was &blaze with meny tepers, and palms, ferns and delicate blossoms were used to beautify the church in honor of the nuptials. Shortly after the hour appointed ‘or the ceremony, 6:30, the strains of the wedding march aanounced the arrival of the bridal perty. First came the ushers, Alired Sbarboro,Romolo Sbarboro, George Panario and Vietor Lucchetti. Following the ushers came the bridesmaids, the Misses Romilda Sbarboro, Ercelia Sartori, Katherine Sartori and Laura Sartori. Miss Eleanor Cella, cousin of the bride, officiated as maid of honor and closed the procession, preceding the bride, who entered leaning on the arm of her fatner. The groom and bLis best man, Horace Sartori, met the bride at the altar, where Archbishop Riordan pronounced the solemn words that made the young couple man and wife, After the ceremony there was a reception and supperat the home of the bride’ s parents, 3401 Washington street. The bride wore 2n elegant gown of cream-white satin. The jupe wes made perfectly vlain. The corsage was made with a yoke, trimmed with bands of pearls and finished off with tiny plaiting of mousseline de soie. A vell and orange blossoms completed the costume. Miss Eleanor Cella wore & handsome white silk empire gown. The Miss Romilda Sbarboro and Laura Sartori were attired alike 1n white mull over pink silk and the Misses Ercella Bartori and Katherine Sartor! wore similar gowns of white mull over green silk.

Collector of the Port Jackson yesterday received a circular from the Treasury De- partment officially fixing the time at which the Dingley tariff law went into effect. It is as follows: The United States Board of General Apprais- | ersat New York have decided that importa- | tions of mercnandise made at originel port of | entry and duly entered jor consumption prior 1034106 o'clock P. M., Washington time, July 24, 1897, are dutisbie under the tariff act of 1894.

Evan those who took the most pessimistic view of the situation aid not believe that any- thing more than harsh words and bitter feelings would be the outcome, but these estimated what the results would be with- ont taking into consideration a very large factor in the person of the president of the organization, Emmett E. Dunn. When Dunn laid hold of the copy of Tue CALL in which was told exclusively the story of the forming of the California Commercial Travelers’ Association, he rose up in his wrath and asserted that the 1es who were responsible for the publi- cation of the tale shouid be expelled from the order. Aithough he made the most strenuous endeavors to discover who bad done so, his efforts were futile. At the meeting of the association held Tuesday evening, however, he asserted that he had found out by direct information that eight per- sons were mixed up in the affair, and at once proceeded to suspend them, or rather, to make a “bluff’’ atit, for he re- fused to put any question to vote, and modestly declared that so long as he “wanted it to go it wentr.” This led to so much friction that such words as ‘*liar,” ‘‘rascal,” ‘‘czar’ and like terms were freely exchanged, coats were pulled off and several members forced 1o leave the room with more precipi- tation than dignity. The president bim- If found it very convenient to retire, and shortly afier he vacated the chair, and it is almost a miracle under the circum- stances that a series of free fights was avoided. Now the members of the “inner circle’’ assert that they are more than ever de- termined to carry out their original plans as embodied in the vy-laws of the new as- Tuey intend nct oniy to pay sick benefits, but will bring on certain lines of Eastern goods, and assoon asa member loses employment he will be put 10 work disposing of tuese lines of goods. They are angry as disturbed hornets at what they term the unparliamentary methods of Dunn in declaring proposi- tions carried without putting them toa vote, and some of them are free in saying thatif he attempts it at the next meeting, to be neld a week from Tuesday evening, he will finding himselt in physical dan- er. The action of Dunn in declaring that he had learned posilively the source from which THE CaLL secured its information when he had utterly failed to learn the least thing in the matter is commonly aeprecated, even by those who are in sympathy with the older organization, and it is hinted that he will find it to his advant:ge to let questions take the regu- lar course of parliamentary procedure in the future. Itis asserted that he refused to do this atthe last meeting because he was aware that he could not have what he wanted consummated.

There was high mass celebration as well as sarly morning and evening services, and the day was kept as sacred as if it were the Sabbath, In San Francisco the day was especially observed at St. Mary’s Church on ¥ California and Dupont streets as it was the patronal day for thatchurch. There the ceremonies were of the most elaborate nature and the solemn high mass was given in its fullest function. At St. Mary’s Cathedral on Van Nessavenue the services were of a most impres. sive nature and Archbishop Riordan withdrew from all secular business for the en- tire day. Atthe churchof the Christian Brothers there were very elaborate services also, with an explanation of the meaning of the feastand its relation to the church. Regular services were held 1n all the Catholic churches throughout the city, and while the attendance was not as large as that usually seen on Sundays it was suffi- cienttoindicate that all the members of the church took active inter. st in the feast, The feast of the Immaculate Conception is in honor of the purity of the Virgin whose gpiritual perfection began with her own birth. As the discovery of America was made underthe direct care of the Virgin it is the patronal day of this country. It is theimmaculate conception doctrine which has received the greatest criticism at the hands of agnostics, principally because of their misconception of what the idea means. Scientists have discoursed in learned theses regarding the impossibility of <uch an occurrence and have wasted much time and energy in trying to disprove what was never asserted. The Catholic doctrine of the immaculate conception of Christ is purely spirit-§] ual in its idea, and has nothing whatever to do with the natural laws of birth or the physical birth of the human being. It is pureiy a spiritual conception as re- gards the relaiion petween the soul and God. According to the Catholic doctrine the Virgin was destined from the beginning to become the mother of the Savior and was, consequently, exempted from original sin, this being ascribed as due especially to the honor of the son rather than to the person of the mother. That this doctrine of immaculate conception is not modern is clear from its many evidences of great antiquity, one of which that is curious to note is the fact that Mobammed, in the Koran, teaches that the mother of Jesus was exempt from original sin. As the Koran is made of the traditions of the times in which it was written, this indicates that the idea was prevalent at that early date, among Christians, half Christians and Jews. Ignorance of the true doctrine as taught by the church is the cause of the wrong premise from which latter-day scientists have made their attacks on the idea, hence the bitter combats that have been made by physicians who assert that such a thing as an immaculate conception is a physical impossibility. When it is remembered that the whole doctrine is based upon the spiritual life of the Savior it can readily be understood that the doctrine is not only a natural one, but is | periectly tenable and carries no elements that can be criticized, either on a scien- tific or a moral basis, Among Our Art Souvenirs —is the place to find an unequaled selection of beautiful Christmas remembrances.
