Locke of the Central Meth- odist Church on Misslon street, who just returned from an Eastern trip, oc- cupled his pulpit last night, and as a consequence every seat was fllled. His lecture was on the war and what God ex- pects from the people of the United States. He commenced by reciting some of the wonderful things the Almighty brings about in his own way. We were now at war with a nation that by its money and arms conquered this portion of the country at a time when there wore no Anglo-Saxons on its surface. At that time, 1620, two ships arrived on the Amer- ican continent; one landed its passengers at Plymouth and the other at the mouth ot the James River. But _the object o* each was very different; one came in search of liberty and self-government, while the other came to plant slavery and rule with a tyrannical form of govern- ment. God in his wisdom reserved this conti- nent for a race which was destined by khis holy will to spread liberty and frec- dom throughout the entire world, Now the time had arrived to carry out tueso great and grand ideas to thé pagans of the Orient. Over in the Philippine lslands there is not to-day one single stant church, for the policy of the sh Government is_to slut oul the of liberty and freedom, but God had s wisdom sent a Dewey, who will open up the country for liberty and light, | A\W,.mw It is the bounden duty of e United States to retain not only the | *hilippine it but every other {sland | which may be taken by the arms of our | brave boys, each and every one of whom | arries the banner of liberty and free-| dom with him. “This, like all American wars,” he con- | tinued, ‘I8 not one of conquest or terri- torfal ‘aggrandizement, but one of hu- manity. The Almigu.y, who knows what is best for his people, always raises men | for the occasion.”” The lives of Glad- stone and Lincoln were cited in proof of this, as both have figured in the nine- teenth century as having done more than | @ny other two men for the sufferings of the human family. As it has been in the past so will it in tie future. There will always be men for the occasion, pro- vided the cause be just as ours is at the present time. “An alliance with England, the mother country, was devoutly to be hoped for, s by it and with it a system of arbitra- tlon would be established, and this would be the last war where human blood would be shed for the righting of natlonal wrongs. And furthermore the two great mtions would spread the gospel of Chris- tlanity, freedom and equality over the entire world.” B BSeveral printing presses running night and day on the new lines of *“Flag” sta. ght hi RELIEVES THE BENNINGTON AT HONOLULU. | ‘Repairs to the Collier Brutus Com- pleted—She Will Sail To-Day in Company With the Monterey. | | The water front was busler than usual yesterday. At the Mail dock a double force of men was at work on the | steamers China and Colon, while at the Oceanic dock the finishing lOuchesV’ | were being put on the Zealandia, and | | the stores for the soldiers were being | .shipped. At Folsom-street wharf noth- | Ing was being done to the Centennial, but around the landing place the | launches from the Monterey and Mohi- can made things livel- for a time. The Mohican came down from the navy yard early in the morning. She will make a quick trip to Honolulu, end on her arirval at the islands she will relieve the gunboat Bennington, the latter going to Manila to join Ad- miral Dewey’s fleet. The sloop-of-war must have left Mare Island after being fitted out in a hurry. e was short of both potatoes and butter and the mess boys were skirmishing around to lay in ‘supplies, They were not very suc- cessful as all the stores were closed, and when the last boat left for the sloop-of-war the various messes were little better off than when the Mohican left the navy yard. Captain Book is again in command of the Mohican, and he has the same officers with him that went out on the war ship with the apprentices. About forty of the latter are still aboard, but their hopes for seeing a fight are sure to be disappointed as the war will never reach Hawail. The sloop-of-war has her bunkers well filled, and consid- erable coal in sacks is piled on deck. She will proceed under both sail and steam, and Captain Book expects to make the run to the islands in eight da In that event the Mohican will reach Honolulu about forty-eight hours gr‘fore the Monterey, which will sail to ay. | There was little or no excitement over the sailing of the Mohican. About noon time two wagon loads of mail came down from the Postoffice, and the Monterey's launch put it aboard the Mohican. At 1 p. m. the anchor was hove up short, and at 1:30 the man-of war got under way and steamed out | through the Golden Gate. The Monterey came down from the navy yard last Friday, and the gen- eral belief was that she would ge away for Honolulu, en route to Manila, early Saturday morning. She lay at anchor off Folsom street with steam up all day awalting the arrival of her consort, the collier Brutus from the | navy yard, but at evening the news came that something had happened to | the collier's low pressure cylinder, and that it would take some little time to make repairs. All of yesterday the Monterey still waited, and during the | afternoon word came that the Brutus was having a trial trip, and if every- thing was sficcessful she would be down this morning. In that event both warship and colller will leave for the islands about 1 p. m. to-day. The Monterey and Brutus will go to Honolulu at a uniform speed of about 10 knots an hour. At that rate it will take them nine d. to cover the dis- tance. Going 10 knots an hour the coast defense steamer has enough coal aboard to take her to Honolulu, but if forced to a greater speed of say 12| knots the consumption of coal would be s0 great that the supply would be all | burned up In six days, or twenty-four | hours before her destination could be reached. After arriving at Honolulu | the Monterey will be recoaled, and will | then start for Manila in tow of the| Brutu | Masters of American vessels are pro- | ceeding very cautiously these days, and | those on ships bound from Japan to | New York are taking no chances. The | bark J. B. Walker left Hiogo, Japan, on April 23 for New York, and instead of going there direct Captain Wallace | headed for Honolulu in order to find out the status of the war. On May 22, | in latitude 28 deg. 42 min. north, lon- | gitude 157 deg. 35 min. west, he met the | barkentine Archer bound for San Fran- | ctsco and spoke her. Both vessels were | hove to, and Captain Wallace went | aboard the Archer, where he was| warmly welcomed by Captain Calhoun. | | The latter got together all the papers | he had on board and gave them to ‘Wallace, who was only too glad to get | them. When the news of Admiral | Dewey’s victory was told to the men on | the Walker they cheered again and | again, and then they gave three cheers | for Captain Calhoun and the Archer for | | having given them the good new: The chances are that the transports Zealandla, Colon and China will be | ready by Tuesday night and will go out | into the stream Wednesday. It will | then be Friday before the last of the | supplies can be got aboard the vessels | ready for sea. Whether a sailor’s preju- | dices against salling on a Friday will | be taken into account or not remains | to be seen. | The schooner Repeat, which came in | from Grays Harbor last Saturday, an- | chored near the telegraph cable and | dragged down on it Sunday. The tug | Reliance was sent out to her, and after | some trouble the anchor was freed | from the cable and the schooner moved to Mission Bay. The Retail Grocers held a picnic at | Schuetzen Park, San Rafael, yesterday, | and a great crowd went across the bay | to attend it. The steamer Tiburon, | which left this side at 9:30 and 11 a. m. | | and 1:30 p. m., must have taken over | fully 6000 people, and even then there were hundreds who missed the boats. s. “POPE BOB” IS DEFENDED Edwards Davis Delivers an Erratic Lecture. HE REVERES THE INFIDEL SMALL AUDIENCE AT METRO- POLITAN HALL. The Lecturer Attacks Catholicism, Protestantism and Various Other Creeds in Order to Defend the Great Infidel. Rev, Edwards Davis, the sensational pulpit orator who achieved considerable notoriety as Oakland's “actor-preacher’” when advertised by the yellow journal a few years ago, defended Colonel Robert @. Ingersoll at Metropolitan Temple last night. Incidentally the speaker denounced Catholicism and threw many bouquets at himself. The seif-advertised orator did not seem tisfled with his audience, which con- ted of about thirty people, but he an- nounced that he would lecture again, sub- ject “Hell."” The date of this lecture was said to be next Sunday night. Among other things the speaker said: “If the representative§ of the press here to-night roast me to-morrow morn- ing ill_‘roast’ by and by. They unything they want about me, me tell them that if they deal s about my family I will me. I have this advan- hat the more they spealk | nce the more people will Christians Are Abject Pupples.‘ ich will naturally box | want to bear me, wl mean more encouragement in the office to me. { With this prelude the orator began | what he termed his “Defense of Inger- | soll,” which consisted in brief of the fol lowing: | “I don’t think that Ingersoll should be | damned to hell in the people’s minds for not believing in Jesus Christ. 1 believe, | however, we are to discriminate between sincerity and hypocrisy. Some crooked- | necked humpbacked Christians bellevethey | are 18 to Heaven simply because they | prostrate themselves at the altar of God | and various graven images, while Bob, | like myself, is going to be damned be- cause he will not join in their mockery. I think we have more chance of getting through the needle's eye than 9 per cent | of the so-called followers of Christ. In-| gersoll should not be condemned, but | praised. He has made Christians think; | and a man who does not think is not | worth thinking about. Some people don’t | think I think, but I think I do, although 1 have no other proof to convince the | public than the logic of my arguments. | ‘When you attain the heights of intelle tuality and transcendent thought that I have labored to attain you will find that there is purpose in antagonism; and that is why God allows me to live. Is there any wonder that there is stagnation in men's souls? There is no hell fire or fu- ture torment that can prevent me from talking the way I want to. The ministry should uphold individuality. I know that I could please a great many people if I chose to do so; 1 know that I could be on top some ‘day, be that day ten years or ten days distans; 1 am ronvinced that Davis will be on top and Davls is on | top now. Some people tell me why don’t I get a vindication. What good will that do Young Men for the Hour. | Dr. James A. B. Wilson of the Howard- | strest Methodist Church who has lately | been transfered from Los Angeles, where | he spent three years, has by his earnest- | ness and stirring sermons and lectures | added many members to his church, In| physique and manner of discourse he re- minds one of the late Dr. Cox of the same denomination. In his lecture last night he spoke on the “Young Men for the Hour,” taking his text from: Prob. | xvi:32, “He that ruleth his own spirit is | greater than he that takes a city.” He said in part: The hour reveals a marvelous change of conditions over a former perdod. We, as a nation, are becoming urban rather than ru- ral. Thus in 1520 we had but six cities of §000 Inhabitants or over, but now we have 413, With 30 per cent of our population in cities, and in twenty-five years at the rate of Increase how being made, the cities will bave 10,000,000 majority 7!1 the whole country.

When I am asked this question, however, I plead ‘not guilty.’ I have sinned, it is true; but I have never told a lie in the pulpit, except a small one; I have never told a theological lie. “If I arose and preached the way people wanted me,” he continued, “I would be the biggest ‘bug’ in the community. I believe that Bob Ingersoll is a better man than most of the men here to-night, and 90 per cent of the Christians of the world. Bob never abuses his wife, and | I wager that he gets along with her bet- ter than Christian men usually get along ‘with theirs.” » After concluding the lecture with a per- sonal argument on his own worth, the lecturer bowed himself off the stage. He seemed greatly pleased with his effort. ‘Work of the Red Cross Society. The Red Cross Soclety found very little to do yesterday at Camp Merritt, as 8 | Thomas T. John smoothly. Mrs. Eaton, Mrs. Merrill and Mrs. Harrington visited very camp. There are about thirty cases of measles, and all the patients have been removed to different hospitals where they have been isolated. There are nine sick men at the Red Cross Hospital who are down with pneumonia and other diseases. —_— e IS NOW ON THE MONTEREY J. Q Adams, Formerly of the Oregon, Tells of the Trip Around the Horn. J. Q. Adams, who was formerly gun- ner's mate on the Oregon and made the trip around the Horn on the battleship has been transferred to the Monterey as first gunner. He received his orders to report here while he was on the Oregon at Juniper, and arrived here Saturday evening and registered at the Internation- al Hotel. Mr. Adams, while well pleased with his berth on the Oregon, Is perfectly satis- fled at being transferred to the monitor. “We had an excellent trip,” he said, “and the boys aboard the Oregon think her the only ship afloat. Of course she rolled some, but altogether she behaved beau- tifully. We caught up with the Marietta and Buffalo some distance out of Rio de Janeiro and layed to by them for about half an hour exchanging the news. When we steamed away it didn’t take us long to leave them far in the rear. The Oregon is a speedy vessel, and we made good time all the way. The slowest we went was ten knots an hour, and that was only for a short time. ‘At every port the vessel stopped some of ‘the crew were allowed to go ashore, and there were a number of brawls in some of the South_American ports. The marines all noticed that there was con- slderable feeling against them on account of the war, but this opinion was due largely to their imagination, though there was a slight foundation for it. Every- where any British people were encoun- tered we received the best of treatment. We passed several English vessels and were always greeted with cheers and salutes by those on board. “We had news of the doings of the Spanish fleets at every place we touched, | and were aware of the fact that it was believed might encounter some of the enemy’s vessels. We were rather confi- dent of our own powe and din't care a Davy Crockett if we met the entire | Spanish nav; About 160 miles out of Rio a vessel was sighted, and it was taken for one of the Spanish fleet. The men were all called to their stations and the guns loaded preparatory to an engagement. The vessel turned out to be a British bark and there was a considerable feel- ing of disappointment among the men, who seemed anxious to try Issues with the Spaniards.” —_———————— COLORED VOLUNTEERS.

PATRIOTISM WAS RAMPANT MANY PRIZES WON BY THE CONTESTANTS. California Commercial Travelers Out in Force—Dancing and Feasting ‘Were Major Features of the Occasion. Picnics nowadays seem to havs devel- oped into occasions upon which the ram- pant patriotism of the American public generally ‘can assert {tself in no uncer- tain tones. The twenty-seventh anniver- sary picnic of the Retail Grocers’ Pro- tective Unlon, held at Californla Schuet- zen Park yesterday, was a good instance in point, for when the 2500 people that attended marched off the boat at the foot of Market street on their return, singing the *“Star-spangled Banner,” “The Red, ‘White and Blue” and yelling ‘“Remember the Maine,” “Hurrah for Free Cuba’ and a number of other war slogans, it was enough to make sightseers think there was an invasion of some sort or that another regiment of volunteers had arrived. Throu; it all the American g was carried on high by President J. Hurley, surrounded by a host of the “faitbful,” and the band *played on.” During the dai; the picnickers enjoyed themselves at the park in many ways. here were games of all kinds for the children, dancing in the blg pavilion; tar- get shooting and bowling. Then there were a prize drawing for members, a wheel of fortune at which many took a “turn” and others a “fall’” and a valuable distribution of gate prizes.

Five luckless gentlemen who were taken to the Harbor Recelving Hospital last night with various portions of their anatomy variously Injured, have made a firm resolution that they will never again mix up in another man’'s troubles, but will be content with their own. The gentlemen are now convinced that it doesn’t pay to jump in where they are liable to get their feet wet, and they have no appetite for picnickers’ pie. A sallor, a trifle the worse for liquor, became engaged In a brawl with a man at the corner of Stuart and Folsom streets last evening, and when a party of fifteen picnickers, returning from a day’s outing, passed the two scrappers, one of them insulted a member of the party and was promptly knocked Hown. The the friends of the picnicker then went at the man on the ground and adminis- tered to him sundry kicks and cuffs which bade well to make him a fit subject for the Coroner. It was at this point of the trouble that the outstders got into the game before buying chips. Mike Lane, a saloonkeeper in the vicinity, saw the fight, and thinking the odds were against the saflor, came up and began to remonstrate with the irate picnickers. The peacemaker in this case was not blessed. The picnickers brooked no interference, and proceeded to turn their attention to Lane. As they were giving him the same treatment they had given Jack, F. W. Waston, a jolly German in a yachting suit, happened along, and being a lover of fair play, upbraided the picnickers for not fighting fair. aggressive tone: Say, mister, is this any of your pie?” One of them asked, in a very As the jolly German did not answer, the picnicker, taking silence as equivalent to assent, began to feed Waston his portion of the pastry, and from the looks of that gentleman's face after the cyclone struck, the pie must have been of the cherry brand. Ed Brass, Tom Kelly and John Thompson were three gentlemen who seemed to wish a portion of the lunch the picnickers had with them, and they received what they wanted. After the picnickers departed all five of their guests seemed to be taken with indigestion, and inquiring the way to Dr. Hill's workshop they turned them=- selves over to his tender mercy. RECEIVE CONFIRMATION. Over Two Hundred Children Kneel to Recelve the Sacrament From the Archbishop. The sacrament of confirmation was ad- ministered to over 200 children at St. Francls Church yesterday afternoon by Archbishop Riordan, in the presence of an immense audience. Promptly at 4 o'clock the service began with an eloquent address by Archbishop Riordan, In which he outlined the ob- ject of the confirmation and the neces- sity of the sacrament as a means of sal- vation.
