The musician replied that he had the old nationa hymn that did service for the Royalists, but nothing that had been adopted since the republic had been established. The officer bore this embarrassing bit of information to Mr. Dole and was told that the same old hymn was still in use. Lieutenant Noble rushed back to the bandmaster and or- dered the hymn played, which was done and serenity relgned once more. Carriages were in walting and the en- tire party was driven out to the fortifi- cations and the rifled, dynamite and mortar batteries inspected.

Having no charac- ter to protect it appears to have for- gotten that others do have characters. Thus it has been conducted into the Police Court on a charge of criminal | libel. Isaac Trumbo is the complain- ing witness. Warrants were served yesterday on Richard A. Crothers and Fremont Older, who, In that unfeeling document, are spoken of as editors, proprietors and publishers. There is no reasonable doubt that the Bulletin has a proprietor and a publisher, but symptoms of its having an editor are - meager.

Y there are other allegations. The matter tending and intended to peach the “honesty, integrity, virtue and reputation” of Mr. Trumbo and expose him to “hatred, contempt, ob- loguy and ridicule.” - | 'The entire matter grows out of the fairy story constructed by the even- ing sheet out of a rumor that Mr. Trumbo had been sued for divorce. It not only made this declaration, but | went into details which were new to both principals and their lawyers. The | divorce suit had not been filed, there is | no assurance that any will be filed al- thoygh such action is expected, yet the Bulletin not only reported the filing, but gave reasons. Incidentally it tacked on a life of mbo which lacked the important element of truth. It made of him a Mormon who had misman- | aged church property and fallen from | favor and affluence. It had his wife | charging him with cruelty, and alto- | gether it enjoyed itself in a manner | thoroughly Bulletinese. | “The real status of the Trumbo family | was set forth in The Call and proved to be nothing startling,t interest in it arising largely from the fact that it controverted the gossip which had in- vaded the Bulletin office and there been seized upon as news. “This evening paper has persist- ently given me mean digs, and has fol- lowed me unjustly for the past two years and their last attack was some- thing I could not let go by without an answer,” said Mr. Trumbo. “I in- tend to press this case to the end and have instructed my attorneys to bring | about a hearing of it as soom as pos- sible—to-morrow would suit me better. 1 intend to institute further proceed- ngs against this paper. : Efxsg;gards my _position with the Mormon church and people it was that of being*with them when I was young. 1 was never a member of their faith.

Shortridge to bid $30.000 for the same, and possibly Mr. Crothers' thought the price was run up on him without any intention on my part to buy. This is the way I can account for the paper's feelings toward me.” There is naturally some curlosity of a moderate sort as to the line of de- | fense to be advanced. Some surmise that the prisoners will deny that th v have anything to do with a newspa- | per, an allegation hard to combat. They may plead that no harm could have followed publication in the Bul- | letin, whither hies the man who feels morally bound to publish something, vet does not desire it to be seen. Or that section of the complaint that de- clares the objectionable matter to have been printed in English may furnish a loophole through which two trembling prisoners can crawl to liberty. The men have been released on ball. ———— Champagne Imports in 1897. Custom-house statistics show that . Mumm's Extra Dry were importe being 42,203 cases more than any other hran.

The club was first organized in 1892, and after the campaign of 1894 went out of exist- ence, The following officers will look after the interests of the reorganization: President, Samuel Nichols;~ vice-presi- dent, George Botcher; recording secre- tary, James Burns: financial secretar T. Mahoney; treasurer, Patrick McCan sergeant-at-arms, J. 'P. Donohue; e: ecutive committee—Martin Highes, k. Barrett, A. Botcher, E. J. Moffitt and R. Carberry.

Hawaii’s Executive Conducted Through the Presidio Fortifications by General Shafter and a Detachment 1 | | | | i | the expressions of kindness to himself and goodwill to his country, and thea the time was passed in social chat until the wharf was reached. President Dole and his party were im- mediately driven to the Pacific-Union Club, where Mayor Phelan entertained them at luncheon. Covers were laid for | twenty, the President having the seat of | honor at the right of the Mayor. Sev- | eral toasts were offered and Mr. Dole briefly referred to his mission to the United States. Soon after his return to his hotel Claus Spreckels paid a visit to his old friends, President Dole and wife. The friendship existing between Mr. Spreckels and the Doles was formed many years ago in Hawail, and questions of island politics there and public policy here have never dulled the kindly sentiments then estab- lished. At the islands Mr. Spreckels was known to his many friends as Colonel Spreckels, | vesterday by the | nd Mrs. Dole in the old-fash- | arm-hearted way. The visit was | ful in many respects and afforded . Dole quite as much pleasure as it | gave to her distinguished husband. In | the midst » packing and prepara- tions for the journey they talked of old time i, of mutual friends | and acquaintances, but never touched in| the slightest degree the subject of island | governm It was not decided until a | late hour Tuesday that Mrs. Dole would accompany her husband ‘Washington. | In preparing for the journey she was not | equal to the task of going to the Presidio | yesterday with General Shafter's party. Soon after 5 o'clock Mr. Dole, accom- panied by the members of his sulte, was | driven to the ferry and crossed the bay | a half hour before the regular boat con- | necting with his train. Only Major Iukea | and Dr. Day will make the overland | journey with him, the others remalning in this city until his return. WHY RAINE S HUSTLING A Sudden Call to the State Central Com- mittee. It Forebodes Things to Fearful Raineyites Here- abouts. The Local Split May Make Business, and Forty-Two Members May Go. The long roll was sounded yesterday by Sam Rainey and his faction of the local Democracy when they happened to learn that a meeting of the Demo- cratic State Central Committee had been called by Chairman Alford for a week from next Saturday at 11 a. m., in this city. The alarm manifested was due to. a fear and belief that the call foreboded an effort on the part of the anti-Rainey forces to take a hand in the local Dem- ocratic mess by “purifying” the party machine through setting the Sullivan Democracy-above the Rainey machine. The fact that the discovery of the call was accidental was due to the fact that no individual notices weré issued to members. The call was promulgated solely by publishing it rather obscure- ly in Tuesday’s issue of the Examiner. Not many learned of the unexpected call on Tuesday. It was late yesterday afternoon when Sam Rainey learned of it, and within twenty minutes James A. Fenton and others had been posted off to see Major Harney and others, and by closing time Raineyites were chasing to the police court offices of | jority of the committeemen chosen by | of a good old fashioned |the best people in the com- as they exist in Chairman Alford's mind are not generally understood by members of the committee. The call says simply: “Business of importance to the party is to be transacted, and it is hoped that there will be full meeting of the com- mittee. This method of calling a meet- ing of the committee is employed as being the surest way to reach all the members.” “The meeting Is probably to reaffirm the principles of Jeffersonian Democ- racy,” said a prominent member-at- large. If that were it, Sam Rainey wouldn't have to hustle. Whatever business of this high importance may come up the particular interest in what may be coming is due to the prospect that an effort will be made to declare vacant and perhaps fill the seats of forty-two of the 128 members who did not pay that $30 campaign assessment last year. This is one of the clubs which it has long been rumcred would be used on the Raineyites. Most of these delin- quents are country members, and Rai- ney might not be able to call a major- ity friends, but it would throw out eight San Francisco members who are very active Raineyites, and most of them place holders. The removal of forty-two members and the appoint- ment of forty-two new ones by an anti- Rainey majority would be a swift blow at the Rainey machine. Another thing to be feared is the formal recognition by resolution or otherwise of the Sullivan Democracy or the regular local machine. It | the primary law survives another Supreme Court ordeal, as it is being assumed it will, future party commit- tees will be chosen by the conventions elected under that law, but such an in- dorsement of the Sullivan Democracy would give it a prestige with Demo- cratic voters at the primary. So the probability of the local party split coming before the committee | makes local interest In the meeting keen, and so the Rainey leaders yester- day began busily figuring up their strength. “I have no knowledge of what will come before the meeting,” sald Major P. J. Harney, chairman of the Rainey Democracy, vesterday, ‘“and do not know if an attempt to interfere in lo- cal affairs will be made. The outrage of throwing out forty-two members | might easily result in a new Demo- | cratic State Central Committee, com- | posed of these and others, who would | go out with them and compose a ma- | the people.” “T don’t know what 1s coming up,” | sald Max Popper, one of the stalwart| leaders of the Sulllvan Democracy, “but I think the delinquents will be | dropped from the roll. The matter will nece: rily come up ou roll call at the star { Here 1s the material and possibility | Democratic | meelee. Many efforts will be made to keep the local squabble out of the com- thittee however. R ANDREE’S BALLOON. Swedish Consul Replies to the | National Geographical Soclety | at Washington. The account which appeared in The Call of December 26 must have excited con- siderable interest in scientific circles, Judging rom the inquiry addressed to the Swedish Consul In this city by the Na- tional Geographical Soclety. The tele- gram reads as follows: “To Henry Lund, Swedish Consul, San Francisco: The American Minister at | Stockholm refers me to vou concerning Andree’s balloon seen in British Columbia August 17. A full reply is wanted by | telegraph, and renly paid. | “GRAHAM BELL, | “President Natlonal Geographical Soclety, ‘Washington.” Mr. Lund, when seen last night, sald that he had immediately replied to the telegram and the information contained | thereln was mainly a synopsis of the | article published in The Call last month. | | He sald that the request for information | in regard to Andree’s balloon, coming as | it does from so prominent a source, would | indicate that the venture of the daring | explorer and his companions was regard- | ed as of great scientific moment, and any | further news of their movements will be eagerly looked for. e SO A Professlonal Footrace. Several thousand dollors changed hands on a foot race that took place at Sacra- mento on Tuesday between W. L. Hey- ward of Oregon and Albert Shooks of | Fresno. It was a i0-yard dash and was won by the Oregonian by one foot in | 10 1-5 seconds. The race was decided on | a muddy track and the time consequent- ly was remarkably good. Doubtless the runners gave fictitious names. There are at present a few Bastern “track burn- ers” sojourning on this coast. QUANTITIES OF MEN AND WOMEN Would use whiskey---which is acknowledged by physicians to be the most healthful drink that can be taken in modera- tion---if they were positive they could get just what they require and just what they could depend upon. When, therefore, the government of the United States by its official stamp guarantees “‘0. F, C.” Whiskey to be 100 per cent proof, hosts of people have no longer cause for hesitation. It is gratifying to observe that munity are beginning the use of this healthful distillation “0. F. C.,” which is every day increasing in popularity. ALCAZ NEW TO-DAY. IN is a great law THE KLONDIKE.
