4 THE SAN ¥FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 189S. and sent three dynamite shells one after another In the direction of the fort. Terrific exnlosions followed, each shell bursting on the impact and playing havoc where it struck. The fort attacked was the most powerful of any guarding the harbor, mounting several modern guns. In the darkness the Ameri- cans could not distinguish the point at which the shells struck, but they are certain the projec- tiles exploded very near the fort, if they did not actually hit it. This effective work by the Ve- suvius was followed a few hours later by equally good work by the New Orleans. Captain Folger of the New Orleans reported to Ad- miral Sampson early last night that the Spaniards were emplac- ing new guns to the eastward of Morro Castle, and he was or- dered to make an attack on_the new defenses at daylight this morning. When dawn came the New Orleans took a position with- in three’quarters of a mile of the new fortifications and | gave the Spaniards the hot- | test ten minutes they have| experienced since the war began. The was found at the first and in a minute the range shot crest of the hill was being swept | by a hurricane of shells. In a| few seconds the Spanish position | was obscured by the smoke from | bursting missiles, but the work of the New Orleans’ gunners was magnificent. Every shell struck the top of the parapet, bursting | over its defenders. The battery was silenced in three minutes, but the firing was continued until the signal of re- call w 10isted on the flagship. The New Orleans was uninjured.

Ensign Palmer of the New York went on the Ve it P: suvius with Lieuten mander Pillsbury to exj location of the batteries. A few minutes before midnight the Ve- suvius was within a half mile of the beach west of Morro. The Oregon’s searchlight played on the westward battery while the black nose of 1e cruiser pointed at it.

Grand Parlor in Session at Woodland Decides to Hold Its Next Annual Meeting at Stockton. Special Dispatch o The Call. WOODLAND, June 15.—One feature of this session of the Grand Parlor of Native Daughters that has a vital in- terest for every member of the order | will be the consideration of a new line | of work which the board of relief will formulate. The board of relief is an incorporate body and was organized in accordance with a recommendation | adopted by the Grand Parlor at | sixth annual session, held at Sacra- | mento fn 1892. It consists of fifteen | members, appointed from that Grand | Parlor body, and its financial start in | life was a bequest of $600, received from the estate of S. P. Rodgers for charitable purposes. The main objects of the board are to relieve sick, dis- tressed and worthy members of the or- der. Its support is derived from an | annual tax on the subordinate parlors, and as the calls for rellef have been very few and the tax has been regu- larly paid the fund has gradually grown until there is now on hand about $13,000. The business affairs of the board are under the direction of nine directors, whose first officers were: President, Mrs. Tira L. Kane; vice president, M{ Mae B. Wilkin; secretary, Miss M. B. Johnson; treasurer, Mrs. Carri R. Durham; and the same officers still fill the chairs, with the exception of Miss Parlor was recited. A telegram from Grand President Conly of the Native Sons to Grand President Conrad of the Native Daughters was read, it con- gratulating the delegates and express- ing the hope that the twelfth session would be a success. Under the head of good of the order the proposition to change the time of meeting of the Grand Parlor was dis- cussed at considerable length. It was not settled, and will come up on. Thurs- day. A dispatch from Joaquin Parlor was read, extending a hearty welcome to the Grand Parlor for 1899. At 4 o'clock an adjournment was ordered, the Grand Parlor having accepted an invitation to attend a meeting of the Red Cross Soclety. This evening between the hours of 6 and 8:30 the members of the Grand Parlor were taken for a drive. Every point of interest in Woodland and the great Yolo orchard at Cacheville were visited. All the conditions for the ex- cursion were favorable. The roads were in splendid condition and the weather perfect. The delegates expressed them- selves as delighted with the experience. Beginning at 9 o’clock an open-air concert was given on the court yard plaza. The weather clerk has been very gra- cious so far this week, and the indica- tlons are that we shall have pleasant weather during the entire session of the Grand Parlor. The delegates are agree- ably surprised, as many of them came here under the impression that the heat would be sweltering. Instead they have | found a clima‘e as genial and recuper- | them did not come prepared for it. | Politics is taking up some of the at- | tention of the delegates, and there is | friendly rivalry for several of the of- fices. Miss Lizzie Douglass of Alta Parlor, present treasurer, is a candidate for re-election. Mrs. W. A. Gett of Sac- its | ramento will be presented by Califia | | Parlor for vice-president. Sifford of Buena Ventura Parlor is a candidate for first vice-president. Eliza D. Keith of San Francisco is a candidate for grand trustee. Alta Par- lor is anxious to put her in the line of succession for the grand presidency. PARIS, June 15.—The Cabinet met this morning and reviewed the situation. Later, M. Meline handed President Faure the resignations of the whole Cabinet, which the President accepted, while re- questing the Ministers to continue the di- rection of affairs until their successors jire named. Premier and Minister of Finance, will bs vited to form a new Ministry and it is idered probable that M. Dupuy, who was Premier of the Cabinet which preced- ed that of M. Ribot, will join the new Ministry. Woodland's Gay Decorations in Honor of the Native Daughters Speaking further, Fitzgerald opposed an- xation on the ground that an injurious labor element would be brought into com- petition with American laborers. Supporting the resolution, Berry (D.) of Kentucky devoted much of his time to show that annexation was in line with Democratic policy. He reviewed the ter- ritorial additions to the original States to show_that practically all had been made by Democrats. He quoted Jefferson, Pierce, Marcy, Buchanan, Bayard and other Demac tion t present Democratic tion. Parker (R.) of New Jersey advocated the resolutions and Meyer (D.) of Louisi- ana followed in opposition, paying special attention to the injury which he claimed would be inflicted upon the 500,000 people engaged in Louisiana in the sugar in- dustry. During Meyer's speech he was inter- upted by Suizer, who asserted the agent of the su trust was at the capital working against annexation. “By what authority do you say that?” queried Gaines (D.) of Tennessee. “‘By the newspaper now in your hand, vhich vs Oxnard, representing the trust, here, and asserts the resolutions will pass the House but the Senate will adjourn before they can get throug ere. ‘‘He ought to be kicked out of town,” declared the Tennesseean. “That's right,” replied the New Yorker. “And if he comes talking around kick him out,” asserted the member from Tennessee, with rising indignation. ‘Williams (D.) of Mississippi concluded the debate for the opposition. He devoted much of his time to an attack upon the method of annexation embodied in the resolutions. He insisted upon its uncon- stitutionality. Tiepburn (R.) of Towa was recognized | to conclude in support of the resolutions. that annexation | Answering the claim t would mean launching upon colonization, he disavowed any such understanding.

K. Wittenmeyer. The active, energetic native daugh- ters who compose this board of relief are apparently not satisfied with the | small amount of good they have been able to do with the funds intrusted to their care, and each annual meeting has been enlivened by discussion on the subject. “The greatest good to the greatest number” seems to be their aim, and last year, when Miss C. K. Wittenmeyer suggested a _Native Daughters’ Home, where the sick of the order could recefve the best medical at- | tendance, the idea was hailed with de- light. During the year a committee was ap- pointed with Mrs. W. S. Leake as chair- man to outline a plan of work that would accomplish the object, and to have it ready for this session. The plan has been discussed by members of the committee in many of the sub- ordinate parlors, and the enthusiastic reception it received has encouraged them in the belief they are working out the right idea for making the more sub- | stantial the foundation on which their | order rests. It is evidently not the intention of these rustling Native Daughters to plan | to build their home for a time when | their days of usefulness are gone; it is | for the infirm of to-day they are work- | ing and they intend to begin at once, | even though it be in a small way—start the bag a-rolling, as it were, believing | it will grow as it goes; and they even look forward to a building of their own, well built and well planned. vir- | tually a “home of their own.” An un- | dertaking of some proportions, they | realize, but what these Native Daugh- | ters undertake to do, they do, and in this they intend to be successful.

SAUSALITO, June 15.—A Mttle squad of poolroom soldiers came over from San Francisco in an electric launch to- night, ccnfident that when they return- ed it would be in joyful mood at the downfall of rival cohorts. There were six men in the party—John P. Glynn, Alfred Broyer, Henry Schwartz, John Humphrey and two friends. On this | side they were welcomed by Attorney Hepburn Wilkins of San Rafael and a number of friends. Soon the streets were alive with people keenly inter- ested in the outcome of their visit.

The town hall was crowded at 9 o'clock, and there was a buzz of ex- citement when Trustees Crumpton, Sylva and Thomas marched sedately in and took their seats. “I move,” said Sylva, “that this board adjourn to meet next Monday evening.” Thomas seconded the motion and the great event was over. " A party of six went back to the metropolis in an electric launch to the tune of “Chevy Chase.” The fact is now divulged that the reason why the San Mateo forces did not witness their own funeral was that the board saw fit to postpone the obsequies. For the firm of Glynn, Broyer, Schwartz & Humphrey will get no license to run a poolroom in Sausalito. Early in the evening three members of the board met and held a caucus in secret.

The Packer May Prevent a Heavy Loss by the Young Napoleon of Wheat. CHICAGO, June 15.—Arrangements for the closing of the Leiter deal have been completed. Final papers were placed be- fore Joseph Leiter to-day, and 7,000,000 bushels of choice cash wheat were con- signed to P. D. Armour, who will hence- forth control all the Leiter holdings. Ar- mour has already begun to dispose of the wheat, and unless the coming crop is har- vested sooner than anticipated it seems likely that the immense llne of wheat in the Northwest will be consumed here. It is stated that Leiter will not lose as much as was generally believed. Armour’s assumption of the burden is said to have meant at least $2,000,000 for Leiter. That much loss would have been incurred if the immense line of wheat had to be mer- chandised by trustees, with the probabi ity of a declining market. The loans to Leiter by the local banks aggr nearly $7,000,000. Each bank was caref to protect itself with wide margins tha would insure against loss. Interviews this morning struck on the rocks and{ gravel in the Narows when leaving | the harbor. | The Laurada took on 200 tons of freight here for the Dominion Govern- ment forces on the Yukcn and left with a Seattle pilot named Hanson aboard shortly after midnight last night. An hour afterward she was ashore in the Narrows,having in some unaccountable manner mistaken the channel. A Call representative, accompanied by a cus- toms officer, rowed out to the steamer this morning. She was then high out of the water, with her stern almost submerged. Her 240 passengers were grouped disconsolately around the deck. J. Henshaw of Al-Ki, Ind.,, who was bound northward to represent the Seattle-Yukon Gold Dredging Company, gave this story of the disaster: “All our trcuble is due to having a Seattle pilot named Hanson on board, who did not know these waters. All of our 240 passengers were asleep when on board were the first on deck, scream- ing and crying for life preservers. Then the men piled cut and terrible confusion ensued. In the dim light we saw we were almost on land and this quieted us. “All night we remained on deck, afraid to sleep, and in the gray morn- ing we were high and dry on shore, for the tide was out.” The passengers were in an excited state and wanted to leave the steamer. During the afternoon efforts were made by two tugs to get the vessel off, and at 6 o’clock they were success- ful. The passengers expected to be taken back to Vancouver, as they thought the vessel was unsafe. To es- cape libel proceedings by the city for damages to the water pipes the cap- tain went right on to Seattle. When The Call correspondent left the boat the passengers were holding an indig- nation meeting and said all would leave the steamer at Seattle if she ever got there. since coming here. When Captain Scott refused Canadian inspection he had to take oath that no passengers would be taken on here. This aroused the suspicions of passengers, who said the boat must be unsafe, and they com- plained to the customs officers.
