Stirring Address on ¢ Lessons From the War” to the | Catholic Truth Society. Father Yorke delivered an address last night in St. Mary's Cathedral to the | Catholic Truth Soclety, on lessons from | the war, during which he took occasion to vigorou: denounce yellow journal- ism, and | particular attention to the Examiner and Bulletin. | The sacred edifice was crowded, and | among the congregation were a number | of soldiers from Camp Merritt. | The reverend father said he would | speak on lessons which may be drawn | from the present war with Spain, to| Catholics as citizens of the common- wealth and to the Catholi¢ church. He referred to the difference in the tone and temper of the people after the wars of the past, and said there wouid be the | me changes after the present war was | over: ‘'We .4 not see these changes, as we were actors in them, but they would | be realized fully by those coming after | us. | Spain, Le said, w: try, although it w: Catholic religion as professed. He instanced the and pointed out that for the past 100 y Spain had been run on principles entirely to the Catholic church. He| inimical | blamed the introduction of Freemasonry | into the count s the cause for this change, as it well known that that | orf:muzu\mu was_hostile to the church. rotestant ministers had been preach- | ing that the war with Spain was a su- | preme struggle between Protestantism | and Catholicism, which was an infamous | lic. One-third of the soldiers that had| offered their services to fight the battles | of their country were Catholics, and | therefore he repeated that it was an in- famous lie to assert that this was a Pro- | testant war. | They might expect that treatment from Protestant preachers but they had a right | to expect different treatment from the | newspapers. In last Sunday’s vellow sup- | plement of one of the morning papers, the San Francisco Examiner, the Catho- lic_church was symbolized as the devil with the usual horns and hoofs. Raising his voice the reverend Father said: “You are not bound as Cgtholic men and women to take that rflper into your homes and have your children scandalized by such pictures and such imfamous lies propagated about your church.” Continuing he said: *“An evening paper, the Bulletin, also contained an article written by Henry C. Lee, asserting that the Catholic church was the cause of the decadence of Spain an# no reason was given for the assertion except the ipse ixit of an ignoramus.” He praised the work of the Catholic women who had ministered to the moral | school and the number of pupils which | | known capitalist, to secure a note of $230,- \ and material welfare of the soldiers at! amp Merritt.

The second day's session of the North American Turnerbund was held vesterds at Turn Verein Hall, on Turk street, the | new president, Emil. Wallber, presiding. The members of the bund displayed their patriotism shortly before the ad- journment of the forenoon session, when G. Donald of Towa had concluded the reading of a report of the executive com- mittee. Mr. Donald spoke of the attitude of the turners toward their country, America, and of America's war with The turners were Americans, he , and with them their rallying cry was now, “One flag, one country, one | honor.” A few more rousing sentiments | were expressed by other members, all | breathing loyalty and patriotism as | against any and all European nations. | There was a good-natured fight on be- | tween the friends who favored Chicago and the supporters of Indianapolis as the | place in which to maintain the head of- fices of the Turnerbund. St. Louis has | been the headquarters of the union for many vears, and both Chicago and dianapolis are united in the bellef that it is_time for a change. The affairs of the bund pending the next meeting will be attended to by the Turn | Vereins in Indlanapous. By a vote of 254 | to 100 Philadelphia won against Chicago | as the place where the next bund will be | held in_1900. | The German-American Turnzeitung of | Milwaukee has been again selected as the | n- | official organ of the bund. The question of paying off the deficit of | 3500, which was incurred in Milwaukee | four years ago, occupied the attention of the convention some time. It was finally decided to levy an assessment of 5 cents | per capita on the members, which will | more than meet the demand. | The manner of conducting the summer would justify the formation of a class was debated on and it was finally decided | that the school should be maintained. —_—————— J.

The mortgage, which was executed October 15, 1884, covered sixteen pleces of real estate in this city. The principal and interest now amount ' to $279,814 03, for which sum &udgment was given. The sult was allowed to go by default, no contest to the claim of the bank being made. —_——— Electric Railway Company Sued.

The receipts of the Internal Revenue Collector's office yesterday for stamps and licenses were, in round numbers, $30,- 000. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue in Washington is kept busy interpreting disputed points of law, and is daily send- ing forth bulletins for the information of Collectors and the business public. The following were received by Mr. Lynch yesterday: The following rules and regulations have been issued by the Commissioner of Internal Reve- nue relating to tax on legacies and distributive shares, under the war revenue bill: The tax on legacies and distributive shares of personal property accrues where passing from any person dying on or after June 13, The law does not apply to estates now in process of settlement, when the grantor died before June 13, 1598, The tax must be paid on a legacy before its distribution to the legatees, No tax is due unless the whola amount of sald personal property passing from the dece- dent exceeds In value $10,000. The fact that certain distributive shares aris- ing from the personal property of an estate are represented by bonds of the United States does mnot constitute ground for holding such shares to he exempt from tax on legacies and {listributive shares under the internal revenue aws. In all cases where legacy taxes are due the | executors, administrators or trustee should be immediately notified to make return. These returns should be made in duplicate. One copy should be filed in the office of the Collector and the other should be transmitted to this office. Upon payment of the tax the Collector or deputy collector will give a receipt or re- ceipts for the same In duplicate. If the Col- lector finds it necessary, in order to obtain the facts respecting liability to legacy taxes where the records are insufficient, he can exercise the authority vested in him and may summon the executors, administrators or other persons he may deem proper to appear and testify under oath.

CABLE TO THE FARALLON ISLANDS | CONGRESS TO BE ASKED FOR AN} APPROPRIATION. Secretary Wilson Says That Sixty Thousand Will Be Sufficient to Construct a Line. There is every prospect that before very long the Farallon Islands will be connect- ed with this city by a submarine cable. Hugh Cralg, president of the Chamber of Commerce, yesterday received a letter from Senator Perkins inclosing a commu- | nication from James Wilson, secretary of the Bureau of Agriculture, which is as follows: My Dear Senator: Replying to your letter of recent date, transmitting resolutions adopted by the California Chamber of Commerce, pe- titioning (or the establishing and maintaining of a telegraph-cable line from San Francisco to the Farallon Islands, I have the honor to inform you that the matter was referred to the chief of the Weather Bureau for investiga- tion and full report. That official states that such a line would be of some value to the forecaster in predicting weather changes, al- though it would not be nearly so valuable for this purpose as the meteorological station now being erected on Mount Tamalpais. Its chief utility from a meteorological standpoint would be in forecasting the fogs that move in from the ocean. The marine and commercial inter. ests of San Francisco would derive the great- est value from such a line. Vessels coming from the north, south and west could be sight- ed from the Farallon Islands many hours be- fore they reached San Francisco. Often ves- sels are becalmed off the islands, sometimes for a period of a W With telegraphic infor- mation direct to San Francisco delays of thiy kind would be obviated, as assistance could called for from San Francisco and the be- ed vessels towed into that port. ides. | ator, Washington, D. ¢ many instances are on record of vessels with valuable cargoes being wrecked on the rocks in the vicinity of these islands. In such cases the value of a cable line to San Francisco would be ‘incalculable. During war with an- other country a hostile fleet might be report- ed from the islands in time to prepare fon defense. The life saving service could also make good use of such a cable in connection with their station already established on the Farallon Islands. It will thus be seen that a cable from San Francisco to these lslands would be of great benefit. The distanc 18 about thirty miles, and the cost of constructiny and establishing such a cable wo $50,000. A house would be requ: ands for the use of the observer: which would cost about ance of the station, and t essary observers, operators, and labor woula require about $3000 per annum. An appro- priation of $60,000 would be sufficient for all the purposes named, and other i dental Vi truly your: JAM WIL Mr. Craig at once sent the annexed re- ply to the Senator urging him to hasten the appropriation of the money for the cable: SAN e re: FRANCISCO, rge C.
