Munce managed the old lady's property for thirteen years. His room in the house was next to that of Mrs. Sanders, with an ear-tube be- tween. Munce was pald, Mrs. Peterson states, §5 for every meeting he held in the house for the conversion of sailors. He frequented the Peniel end Salvation Army missions and was well known among them while Mrs. Sanders lived. Since her death Munce has ceased all mission work. He no longer seeks the conversion of sailors. The Seamen’s Home, Beale street, well insured, took fire one midnight of last June, and only the very prompt work of the Fire Department prevented the complete destruction of the prop- erty. The circum: nces polnted strong- ly toward incendiarism. Since that time Peter Peterson, thcAhusband of the petiticner, has slept nightly in the building. Last December all the furniture of the Seamen’s Home, saving the con- tents of one room, was sold at auction by Munce, as trustee, and the house that Mrs, Sanders hoped would be a home for needy seamen is now a home for ncbody but Munce. GRACE SYNDICATE GIVEN A HEARING Congressman McClure’s Speech Re- veals the Names of Men Back- ing the Venture. NEW YORK, Jan. 18.—A Washing- ton special to the Herald say It was not realized until the hearing was given to-day by the House Committee Commerce . to the Grace-Eyre-Cragin Nicaragua canal syndicate just how strong is the combination behind W. R. Grace in the scheme to build the Nicaragua canal. Every one has known about the Grace syndicate, but the names of the men who really com- pose it had been carefully concealed until they were revealed to-day by Mr. McClure in a speech before the Com- mittee on Commer Then it became known that the men who propose build- WILLIAM MUNCE, Against Whom Seriou the Ex - Mission - Worker, s Charges Are Made.

It fifteen years since William Munce arrived in this city from Chi- cago. According to his own story he | had been a captain on the great lakes, | but his vessel had gone down in a| storm, and, harassed by ill-fortune, he | had finally come to this coast to tr and better his condition. Being in| hard straits he sought the Mariners’ | Church, and not only received aid, but | was soon employed to do mission work among bay sailors. | Rev. J. Rowell, pastor of the Mari- ners' Church, corner of Sacramento and | Drumm streets, remembers well Mr. | Munce’s advent. “Munce enlisted in | mission work under Rev. W. D.| Bishop,” said the venerable minister * last evening, “and was supported by | subscriptions from church member: One of the most zealous members our congregation at that time was Mr Eliza J. Sanders, and, as the subscrip- tions for Munce’s SUpport were not very large the good old lady took him to | board at her Seamen’s Home on Beale | street. Then trouble arose over the | purchase of a boat for missionary work and Munce's connection with the church was severed. Rev. Mr. Bishop warned Mrs. Sanders against Munce, but his warnings proved of no avail The old lady was not sound, either in | mind or body, for a number of years | prior to her demise. Whenever I called to see her Mr. Munce was invariably present during the interview. He had strong influence over Mrs. Sander: The old lady told me repeatedly that she had made provision for the\con- tinuance of gospel work among seamen | at the old home on Beale street.” | When John Sanders died in 1882 he | left his widow, Sarah J., about $45,000 worth of property.

Declares the Joint Assembly Ad- journed When Three-Fourths of the Members Voted Otherwise. Epecial Dispatch to The Call. HARRISBURG, Pa., Jan. 18.—The feeling between the candidates, their managers and their followers in the | great battle for United States Senator has been intensified by the rulings of | Lieutenant Governor Gobin at to-day's joint assembly of the Senate and House. Gobin refused to eatertain an appeal from his decision excluding a series of rules regulating the procedure of the conference and declaring the Assembly adjourned when three-fourths of the Senators and members voted otherwise. The anti-Quay Republicans and Dem- ocrats were hurriedly called together after the session adjourned by Senator William Flynn of Allegheny (R.), chair- man of the anti-Quay organization in the Assembly. The roll call showed 145 Senators and Representatives present. Of these five Republicans who voted for Quay participated in the meeting and indicated their sympathy with the movement. A committee of seven was appointed to prepare a series of reso- lutions to be submitted to an adjourned meeting which was held this evening in the hall of the House of Represen- tatives. The hall of the House was crowded with Jegislators and politiclans when the night meeting was called to order by Chairman Bliss. Mr. Flynn pre- sented the report. It recites the ex- cluded rules and the right to prescribe such, declaring that the presiding offi- cer’'s action violated all rules and pre- cedents, and resolves ‘“‘that, as the joint Assembly has the undoubted right to govern its own procedure and to elect or change a presiding officer at pleas- ure, the same rules be offered at to- morrow’s meeting of the joint Assem- bly and their consideration demanded prior to any ballot for United States Senate.” This report is signed by nine- teen Senators and 120 Representatives, ¥uur more than attended the day meet- ng. In explaining the resolution Mr. Flynn said there was no law or con- stitutional mandate that allows the Lieutenant Governor to preside at a joint Assembly of the Senate and House to elect a United States Senator; it was simply a matter of courtesy. The report was adopted and copies were distributed among the Senators and members for signatures. A motion was offered by Senator David Martin of Philadelphia (R.), which was adopted, that a committee of seven be continued with power to call the independent Republicans and | Democrats together any time the neces- sity arises. Mr. Fox read section 6, article IV, of the constitution, to show that Mr. Gobin, who is a brigadler general in the volunteer army, has no right to preside at the conference. The section follows: ‘“No member of Con- gress or person holding any office un- der the United States or this State | shall exercise the office of Governor or | Lieutenant Governor.” RETIRES SILVER TO THE BACKGROUND Newlands Making His Fight for the Senate on the Railroad \ Issue Alone. CARSON, Nev., Jan. 18.—The town is | still talking over the speech delivered by Congressman Newlands last night. He denounced the methods of the rail- road and retired the silver issue to the background. Stewart has made no | reply to Newlands’ speech, but places his hope in his silver record. The contest in the Assembly this morning between Shier and Dooley | resulted in Shier withdrawing his peti- tion, leaving the ground clear for Tillman, H. H. Rogers of Oil Company, Robert Goe- Crimmins, W. D. Sloane, odward, George Westing- the Standard let, John D. James T. Wi house and E. J. Berwind. LONDON, Jan. 19.—The Standard, commenting editorially this morning upon the debate regarding the Nica. ragua canal in the United States Con. gress, protests idea that Great Britain would be will- ing to abrogate the Clayton-Bulwer treaty unless compensated therefor and unless the neutralization of the canal were secured beyond question. £155 Edward Everett Hale has a sermon in next Sunday’s Call. strongly against the | Dooley. Dooley is a Democrat and | | will lend his support to a Democratic nominee. | Some of the most conservative mem- ibers believe the Senatorial fight will | result in a deadlock. R. M. Clarke and | Hock Mason are after the Democratic vote, which draws strength from both | Newlands and Stewart. | Petitions were presented this morn- fing in the House and Senate from | Douglas and Esmeralda counties pro- testing against Stewart’s return to the | Senate. They are both based on his | railroad record. They were referred to | committees from the respective coun- | ties. They will not be reported until Monday and the effect will be lost.

OF THE DERBY Valiente’s Son Captures the Trophy. BEATS HIGH - CLASS DOGS RESULTS OF FIELD TRIALS AT BAKERSFIELD. Despite the Sparseness of the Cover, Some Fine Work Is Witnessed Daily by the Sports- men. Special Dispatch to The Call BAKERSFIELD, Jan. 18.—The six- teenth annual trials of the Pacific Coast Field Trial Club continued to- day. In the derby fifteen high- class dogs started. Considering the scare cover their work was remarkable. Romeo, a setter dog, owned by John Haauerwas, won first money, a handsome trophy presented by the Field of Sports. Romeo is out of Lady Stamboul, by Valiente. Merry Heart, a setter dog by Merry Monarch out of Sweetheart’s Last, owned by Albert Betz, was second. Ashbury, a pointer dog, owned by Otto Fendner, was third. Valsmark spoiled his chance for a place by chasing rabbits and get- ting lost. The all-age stake started after the finish of the derby. Romeo, the win- ner of the derby, was an additional starter. The dogs’ run follows: J. C. Lucas’ Alex C. vs. N. I. Donovan’s Sen- ator P., Henry Gerber’s Fannle G. with F. B. Naylor's Countess Glenbeigh. Stockdale Kennels’ Sams Bow with J. C. Terry’'s Orion, Stockdale Kennels’ Cuba of Kenwood with M. H. Hick- man’s Count Harold. Romeo a bye. All these dogs, except Romeo, Orion and Count Harold, are pointers. All the dogs showed up splendidly. The gen- eral opinion is that never have as manv high-class dogs started in one stake The fine ranging and speed of Senator P., Alex C., Countess Glenbeigh and Romeo, and the point work of Sams Bow, Orion and Cuba of Kenwood make it hard to pick winners. The second serfes will be called to- morrow and probably finished. The judges named the following dogs to run in the second serjes: Alex C. with Cuba of Kenwood, Sams Bow with Senator P. e g FINEST FOWLS ON THE COAST Feathered Beauties Shown at San Jose’s Poultry Show.

In the House Opposition Is Shown to the Proposed Subsidy to the Pacific Cable Com- pany. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—The feature of to-day’s session of the Senate was a speech dellvered by Bacon (D.) of Geor- gla, in support of his resolution declar- ing that the United States would not assume sovereignty over the Philippine Islands. Bacon is one of the orators of the Senate, and as he gave himself free rein, not confining himself to notes. he spoke strongly and effectually. His peroration, in which he pictured the horrors of some of England’s methods of controlling her colonial subfects. was a beautiful and forceful bit of word- painting. Following Bacon’s speech, the Nica- ragua canal bill was taken up, and re- mained under discussion until 6 o’clock. Amendment after amendment was vot- ed down, and until almost the last min- ute it seemed likely that a vote on the measure would be reached, but just as a final vote was about to be called for Allison (R.) of Iowa exploded a bomb under the bill by offering an am2nd- ment providing that the Secretary of the Treasury should issue bonds o raise money with which to construct the canal. The friends of the measure then consented to an adjournment. -~ HOUSE OPPOSITION TO THE PACIFIC CABLE WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—The com- mittee on interstate and foreign com- merce had the right of way in the House to-day, and succeeded in pass- ing quite™a number of bills of minor importance, most of which authorized the construction of lighthouses. fog signals, etc. Then the bill to grant the Pacific Cable Company a subsidy cf $100,000 a year for twenty vears for the construction of and operation of a cable was called up and a very spirited de- bate, which consumed the remainder o2 the day, followed. I The opposition was headed by Corliss (R.) of Michigan, who advocated the construction of a Government cable. No conclusion was reached at the hour of adjournment, and as the special or- der under which the House was over- ating to-day expired with che adjourn- ment, and as objection was made to fixing another day for its consideration. it goes over indefinitely until tie com- mittee can get another day or until a special order is adopted. Case AgaTnst Bateman Continued. The case of Thomas Fitzgerald against Batemdn Brothers, the contractors for the Hall of Justice, was called in Justice Cook’s court vesterday. Owing to an- other case being on trial it went over un- til next Monday at 10 a. m. Fitzgerald was employed on the Hail of Justice and claims the contractors are indebted to him in the sum of $157 7 for services ren- dered as bricklayer. The firm denies the indebtedness. The complainant also af- firms_that a number of employes were in- duced to sign a receipt for wages which | have not been paid. - LATE SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
