THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 20, 1898. THEY FAVOR THE FESTIVAL San Rafael Ladies Are Enthusiastic Over the Carnival. The Committee Hard at Work Enlisting the Support of Townspeople. Will Probably Be Held in May Owing to the Backwardness of the Flower Gardens. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SAN RAFAEL, and early this morning the ladies on whom has been placed the duty of can- vassing the town for an expression of sentiment on the holding of a rose car- nival in May, were out among the neighbors and acquaintances, discuss- iug features and attr: ions, as well as the best time for holding the fete, for it was only necessary to mention ‘‘rose carnival” for the recipient of a call to enter upon details, as though there could be no question as to its suc & A general invitation has been extend- ed to the ladies of San Rafael to at- tend the meeting of the committee on Monday afternoon, at which time the project will be definitely decided upon. ‘While it is evident that not a single volce will be raised against it, the la- dies want assurance of the active co- operation 6f everybody, and this they are determined to have before they proceed any further. To-day there is not a member of the committee who has the slightest doubt that this assur- ance will be given. Mrs. A. W. Foster this morning noti- fied those ladies of the committee who were absent from last night's meeting of the action taken by the citizens and the responsibility resting upon them, and during the day consulted with sev- eral of the members. “Many ladies living in San Rafael,” said M Foster, “who have visited similar festivals in other places in past 3 rs have returned filled with the idea of holding a flower show at home, d without exception they have ex- d the sentiment.that there is no in California better adapted for an affair than San Rafe No- > do roses bloom in greater pro- sion or are the varieties more va- ed than here, yet many places not rly so favored we give most able display: h year.

Spectal Dispatch to The Call Pacific steamship Victoria arrived this afternoon, bringing Hongkong advices to February 23 and Yokohama advices to March 5. An encounter recently took place at Vanhai, in Tonquin, between a gang of pirates and the inhabitants of that place. The citizens made a sturdy de- fense, but as they were surprised and poorly armed they soon retreated, leav- ing the pirates in control. They made one brave dash, and succeeded in res- cuing a number of the town's most prominent citizens, whom the pirates had captured and intended to hold for ransom. Four lives were lost and a large number wounded. A mandarin of the district was killed while leading the villagers against their assailants. A sensation has been created at Shanghai by proof that native detect- ives there are in the habit of torturing their prisoners to obtain confessions, and thereby demonstrate their prowess. Recently some prisoners submitted to being burned with hot irons before they would confess to having stolen a miss- ing launch, of which theft they were innocent. On being released they made an exposure of the detectives' methods, r ting in the arrest of five of the sleuths, three of whom have been sen- tenced to from two to three years’ im- prisonment. A serious explosion occurred in the | coal mines at Kebao, China. Fourteen native miners were killed and a large number injured.

The people believed the tailless dragon was coming to do evil, and scores of small boats sought places of safety. Gongs and drums were beaten by the people on land and guns fired from the gunboats in the hope of scaring the dragon away. That night the clouds passed away and the people experienced great joy. The inhabitants of Shantung prov- ince are still wrought up against for- eigners, particularly ‘missionaries. The Governor of the province is kept in hot water to restrain them, knowing his own head will pay the penalty of any violence.

Goodall did the christening. The cld Senator formerly belonged to Good- all, Perkins & Co., but when she had outlived her usefulness the paddle box- es and wheels and engines were taken out, and she was bark rigged. From here she was sailed to Auckland, New Zealand, where she was turned into a coal hulk, and is still doing duty as such. The launching took place at 9:10 a. ! m. in the presence of a blg crowd of people. Several tug boats and the com- pany’s steamer Pomona, with a large party of invited guests aboard, were present. Among those on the Pomona were Captain Charles Goodall and Hd- | win Goodall, Mrs. Charles Webb How- | ard, Mrs. Le Grande Canon Tibbits, H. | J. Knowles, H. H. Adams and party, R. G. Brown and party, William gee and family, General and Houghton, Mr. and Mrs. W. Gwin, Wil- liam H. Fisher and family, John L. Howard, Mr. and Mrs. Davis of Ross | Valley, Charles K. Field and a host of othe: After the launch the Pomona | returned to Broadway wharf to land | those who had business to attend to. Captain Debney then took her around the bay on an excursion, and showed the company’s guests all the sights. ‘When completed the Senator will take the Australia’s place on the Dy; | Skaguay run, the latter vessel return- | ing to the Honolulu trade. The steam- | er Curacoa, which is now being over- hauled, will take the Orizaba’s place in the Mexican trade, and the Orizaba will probably be placed on the south- | ern route. Chief Engineer Robinson of the Pomona will go as chief of the | Senator. He superintended the fitting out of the Pomona after she was | launched from the Unicn Iron Works, | and now he will do the same duty for the Senator. First Assistant Engineer Dolan of the Pomona will go out as chief. The Senator is 280 feet long, 38 | feet broad, 21 feet deep and 2200 tons | gross burden. She is expected to be a | thirteen-knot ship, and will have ac- | commodations for 110 cabin and 300 | steerage passengers. | _ A sidewheel steamer for the Yukon River trade is being built at North Beach for G. Cashmore of Oakland. She will be 175 feet long, 36 feet broad and 9 feet high from her keel to the top of | the deckhouse. She will only draw a | foot of water. The steamer is to be | ready in two months, and Captain ‘Walter Childs will take her to St. Mi- | gllme). where she will load fcr Dawson | City. | Mrs. Eugenia Schuller was removed | from the Harbor Receiving Hospital | to St. Mary's Hospital yesterday. She | bore the moving well, and the doctors | now say that if blood poisoning does | not set in she will recover. Lightship No. 70 will have her trial | trip to-morrow morning. Major Davis | of the lighthouse engineers and Captain | Davies and Chief Engineer Black of the { lighthouse tender Madrono will go out on the vessel, and Captain A. I. Lowell will be in command. Lightship No. 70 will go to her anchorage April 9. The barkentine Fremont came out of retirement in Oakland Creek yesterday and went on the drydock for an over- hauling. She will leave for Alaska early in April and will be the firstof the codfishing fleet to get away. The French steamer La Madeleing | from New Whatcom for Guayaquilwith lumber, stopped off this port for in- structions yesterday. Some provisions and the captain’s sailing orders were sent out by the tug Sea King and then the steamer proceeded on her way, J. 8. Kimball & Co.’'s new steamer Dirigo had her trial trip on the bay yesterday. She proved to be fast and a splendid sea boat. She leaves for Dyea, Skaguay and Copper River with about 100 miners to-morrow, but will call at Seattle on the way to take aboard about 200 more. Every berth by the Dirigo was taken some weeks ago, but there was some delay In getting her ready, so the gold hunters drew down their deposits and took passage by the Humboldt. The battle-shi~ Oregon got away for Callao yesterday. As she passed down the bay all the tugs and ferry steamers saluted and many of the sailing vesgels dipped their flags. The big warship looked very deep in the water as she passed along the front. She has 1500 tons of coal aboard, and also 400 tons of ammunition, besides all the stores for a long crul She will go from here to Callao and there her final orders will be given. —_—ee————— KNIGHTS AT PLAY.

In 189 a Congressional commis- | sion came to this coast, and after looking around for some time recommended that such a plant be located there. Such a plurt would furnish employm w lerge number of workmen would be engaged nearly tha round in finishing and putting together the castings and parts of the large guns for the army and n In speaking of his wishes Mr. Kerr said: “There is no | better place in the W for such a plant. The Government is now making | appropriations for just such purposes, | and it {s only fair that this State should be recognized, as we have all the facili- | ties necessary. There is ample ground there for testing the big guns when com- | plete. And further, the vessels for which | t were intended could load the same without trouble, for there is not a vessel in our navy but what could lie alongside of the wharf at Benicia. Then again, the | Government barracks are close to the | | Mare Island Navy Yard, and are also on | the railroad. Now that these matters are receiving the attention of the Govern- ment officials I think that the business men and the entire public should unite in a demand for the establishment of such a plant at Benfcla.” R LEES CALLS ON GUNST. The Chief Wants the Commissioner | to Act at Once. The fact that female gamblers have | been startled for the reason that their haunts have been made public and that the Mayor advises that visitors of pool- rooms should be arrested, is the cause of many rather peculiar feelings in va- rious departments of the heads of po- lice and police commissioners. | As was stated by Commissioner | Gunst, the poolrooms should be closed up at once and without fail, and the | police should do the work, but Chief | Lees says Gunst is not doing the work, as he understands the situation, but if he is, he should act, and act at once and in a decided manner or else allow | the police themselves to do the work in | a suitable manner. In all probability Lees and Gunst see | a chance to help themselves out of the | wealth of their sarcastic vocabularies, | and without doubt the chance will not be neglected by either party. Last evening Chief Lees detailed two officers to visit and watch the various female poolrooms, and they have been ordered, | in obeyance to the Mayor's ideas, to ask and obtain the names of all vis- itors to any one of the various places known to be in existence. A poolroom war may result in more interesting Chief and Commissioner disagreements. —_——— LOOKS LIKE FOUL PLAY. J. F.

When a sufficlent number of stock- holders can be secured to subscribe for stock in the new theatrical company which will be shortly inaugurated in this city for the purpose of erecting an opera house on the corner of Eddy and Jones streets, opposite the old Republican Wig- wam, active work will be begun. A number of capitalists df San Fran- cisco are interested in the venture, among the most prominent of whom are James D. Phelan, who bought the property on ¥ and Jones streets expressly for the ‘\xu pose of the erection of a theater, and Mr. Bouvier, recently connected with the Al Hayman manageéement of the Bald- win. The idea is to erect a theater where modations would be sufficlently ex- to warrant bringing to this coast big first-class operatic attractions.

J. Noonan, 1017-1023 Mission. WILL PREACH A MISSION Good Work of Paulists to Spread to St. Paul’s Parish. Fathers Younan and Wyman of St. Mary’s Will Conduct the Services. General Notes Concerning the Catho- lic Churches Throughout the Ctiy. A mission under the auspices of Fathers Wyman and Younan of the Paulist Community will be held at St. Paul’'s Church, commencing with the 10:30 o'clock mass this morning and continuing for two weeks. The serv- ices during the first week will be de- voted to the instruction of women, while those of the last will be reserved exclusively for men. During the absence of Father You- nan from St. Mary’s Church on Cali- fornia street, where he recently con- ducted one of the most successful mis- sions ever held in this city, the class of inquiry which was established in the lower chapel of the church immediately after the mission for the instruction of non-Catholics will be conducted by Father Francis Dougherty. The serv- ices, as usual, will be held every Mon- day, Wednesday and Friday evening, and will be devoted to the further in- struction of unbelievers in Catholicism. Father Dougherty has stated that he will be pleased to answer any question that non-Catholics may be in doubt about at these meetings or may choose to ask. Doctrinal and theological dog- mas will be discussed and expounded, and a definition of the different parts and meaning of the mass will be ex- plained. For the short time the class has been in progress the attendance has been unusually large and much interest has been manifested in all the subjects that have as yet been introduced and con- sidered. Father Younan, to whose efforts the mission at St. Mary’s Church w mainly due, will deliver a series of evening sermons during passion week. A lecture ¢n the subject of India will also be delivered by the missionary be- fore he leaves for the East. It will be given at Native Sons’ Hall on April 19, | immediately after Easter Sunday. The | lecture will be illustrated with stere- opticon views, which will depict all phases of Indian life, religion and an- cient customs, and considering the fact that Father Younan has been a traveler in India, and while there was a close student of the people and their various traits, the lecture will be both instruct- ive and interesting. At St. Ignatius’ Church to-day the feast of St. Joseph patron of the uni- versal church will be celebrated with special solemnity. There will be a solemn high mass at 9 o’clock, and in | the evening rosary and solemn benedic- tion. Immediately after the 9 o’clock mass at the French Church to-day a meet- ing of the Sanctuary Society will be held in the assembly hall, in the rear of the church proper. As yet this so- ciety is governed by a temporary board of officers, but it is hoped that jn a few weeks a permanent organization may be effected. ‘A convention of the Catholic Truth Society will be held to-morrow and Tuesday evenings at Metropolitan Hall. The services will be under the immedi- ate direction of Father Yorke. At Washington Square Hall next Tuesday evening a ‘“rally” by the St. Francis branch of the League of the Cross will be held for the purpose of competing for the silver medal, which will entitle the winner to enter the con- test for the gold medal which Arch- bishop Riordan will award at the grand annual rally for the best essay on the subject of temperance. The Italian Church which is in pro- cess of construction at Ocean View is nearing completion and will be dedi- cated on next Easter Sunday. Much interest has been manifested in the Lenten exercises of the Calvarian Society, which are held every Sunday afternoon at St. Mary’s Cathedral. The society has issued and distributed a book containing the order of ceremony and the object of the weekly devotion. It is anticipated that the Sacred Heart Church, another Catholic edifice now in process of erection at Oak and Fillmore streets, will be completed by the 1st of next September. B'NE B'RITH.
