The claims themselves have not yet been pre- sented, but are being collected by the several foreign offices as the claimants | send them in. In some cases schedules have been made and the aggregate stated | to the authorities here. The French | claims aggregate between 12,000,000 and | 15,000,000 francs. The German claims are | understood to be slightly under those of | the French, while British claims are sajd to be considerably more than either the French or German Theso foreign claims are quite distinct from those of the citizens of the United States originally against Spain for dam- ages sustained in Cuba during the insur- rection. The peace treaty specifically provided for these American clalmants, releasing Spain and stating that the | United Statcs would make such settle- | ment as w nder this clause | claims_aggregating several millions have been filed. No provision, however, wa: made by the treaty for foreign claimants and there S t e much doubt as to who | pa Spaln. The United States having under- taken to look after the American claims, | the foreigners are desirous of being | the same manner. It was stated at one of the foreign establish- | ition to push the clalms unduly, but to bring | them to_the attention of _the Unite States Government in order that the question of liability might be determined | and such relief granted as the merits of the cases warranted. It Is appreciated in these forelgn quarters that payments will be largely a matter of discretion with the United States. as the obligation to look after the American clalmants was assumed voluntarily, and there is no obli- fon, either in the treaty or on gen- eral principles of law, for assuming. the | claims_growing out of Spain’s inability | to_maintain order in Cuba during the | period of Spanish rule. | These forelgn claims cover damages to plantations, personal property, etc., of | French, British and German residents of | Cuba, and are not connected with the | bonded debt of Cuba in foreign hands, which debt was assumed in Spain, STUDENTS’ CONFERENCE OF THE PACIFIC COAST Representatives of Leading Western Colleges to Meet at Pacific v Grove.

SETIER Intacesting Programmes Are Ren- dered by the Classes at the Bush and Geary Street Temples. el Two beautiful Hebrew confirmation ceremonies were performed in this city last night, one at the Geary-street Tem- ple. Both editices were® packed to suffo- cation and during the evening hundreds of people were turned away. The services | were of an imposing nature and, in all, sixty-eight little children weré confirmed | in the faith of their fathers. The music for the occasion was grand at both syna- gogues. Beautiful solos punctuated the ceremonies and organ intermezzos were well rendered during the delicate por- tions of the .services. The candidates marched up the center aisles and were re- ceived by the rabbis of the resp(;c(;hi'e L a irls were attir n provided for them at either side of the chancels. The Geary-street Temple was hand- somely decorated. Arches of orange blossoms extended out from the chancel and the forward part of the temple was a veritable bed of flowers. ; After the regular festival service, con- ducted by Cantor Rabinowitz, the con- firmation programme was begun, and was as follows: Organ prelude, Professor H.

The ‘““Address to Par- |. ents” was delivered by Ida Levy, a daughter of Rabbi Levi, who conducted the confirmation ceremony. It was lengthy and consumed nearly twenty minutes in delivery.

The largest number of applicants ever confirmed at one time in any synagogue on thig coast received the blessing of strength to adhere to their childhood teachings unto death at the Bush Street Temple. The floral decorations were handsome. Bamboo, sprayed with Mare- chal Niel and La France roses, dropped from the choir to the altar. Immense rose vines, forming a perfect bower, draped the left of the chancel. The side decorations were of Bermuda lilies and American Beauties, yellow and pink car- nations and wild oats tied up In lavender ribbons. The entire rail was trimmed with Bermuda lilies and asparagus ferns. The choir was under the direction of Professor Dellapiane, and beautiful mu- sic. was rendered b rs.

His text was Jeremiah vi:16—"Stand ye in the way and seek and ask for the old | paths,” ete. The immediate principle under examina- tion was the declaration of Wesley when thrust out of the churches of the estab- lishment of which he was a minister. “The world is my parish,” he said. ou may find fauit with Methodism, but it" yet remains to be accounted for. It has made me broad enough to rejoice in the success of every other body of be- levers. But with its severest of all con- ditions found in modern Christianity Methodism has yet proven true to human nature, and so divine in its origin, so Biblical in its teachings and methods, that in 133 years of its origin it has grown to 6,000,000 of actual communicants and 24,- 000,000 of the population; divided into six- teen branches upon questions of govern- ment, but separated by no fundamental rinciple of doctrine.

UNPAID BILLS LEFT BEHIND FAMILIAR FIGURETHATGRACEID THE LINE. g Led a Torrid Life and Contracted Very Many Debts During His Visit to This City. e With the exodus of the turfmen A White Brown of decorative appearance has disappeared from this city, leaving an army of tradesmen and other unsus- pecting people full of wrath and strong intentions to invoke the law to come te their assistance. For several months Brown, who was a figure on the line and at the racetrack, has played false witk men of easy confidence and women whose¢ hearts were easily pierced by his soft suave manner. Among his friends A. White Brown was known as “Browny.” Never in his Sar Francisco career was he known to com- mit a breach of the fantastic proprieties of dress. When he first arrived in this city he took apartments at the Palace but as soon as he became established there he moved to another but none the less luxurious environment. Three hours a day he would exhibit himself in the Palace court, appareled in multi-colored clothes of the most perfect fit. His only seeming occupation was the consumptior of ornate and highly scented cigarettes and the consistent changing of his dress. His credit was good on the line and off Haberdashers, tailors, restaurateurs, sa- loon men, even bookmakers, invited him to try their wares, and Brown obligingly accepted their invitations. From the Clifi House to the Oakland track the.young New Yorker was a most familiar figure Not to know him was to argue yoursell unknown. Just at present there are 3 number of people in this city who are most anxious to know one other thing and that is how can the departed Mr. Brown of New York be reached. They are¢ waving bills in their hands, and they would very much like to receipt them What is particularly galling to the wrath. ful creditors is that Brown has left the city so unceremoniously. Some of them are confident that their bills against him would have been paid had they had an opportunity to present them. Others are not so sanguine, and they are now burn- ing incense for the departed and inci- dentally perfecting themselves in a_dic- tion that is not found in the standard die- tionaries. e Brown came to San Francisco with the best of reputations. He is a young man of large, liquid blue eyes and a complex- ion that was the envy of the tenderloin district. He was given cards to some of the prominent clubs in this city, being a frequent guest at the Union League His money, which was spent free- ly on all kinds of amusements, was thought to be unlimited. Upon his arriv- al he was introduced to the electric-light contingent as the son of the celebrated manufacturer of cough medicines and troches, and was supposed to be im- mensely wealthy. At any rate, his pock- ets were always heavy with -clinking money. Brown did not leave without an order for the forwarding of his mail. His let- ters are to be sent to St. Louis, where he will pass a short vacation. Otherwise they must be mailed to his home in New York. Mr. Brown will receive a hearty welcome upon his return to this city. A CEANCE FOR CALIFORNIA. Failure of the Fruit Crop of the South Should Bring Good Prices. That there has been a good deal more frost in the fruit districts of the South than the growers have been willing to ad- mit is the opinfon of T. M. Ferguson, who has just returned from a trip to Cuth- bert, Ga., his birthplace. *“I rode for miles through peach orch- ards,” said¢ Ferguson, “and I have talked with the leading fruit growers in the southern part of Georgia. They all say there will be no peach or orange crop this year, and that all the fruit that would otherwise have been ordered from Georgla must now come from California. It has been the coldest spring the South has ever experienced. In January the ther- mometer went down as far as three de- grees below zero, and fifteen or twenty above zero is as cold as the weather has ever been down there. Old shade trees that I remember from the time I was a boy have been killed—that is, not killed outright, but all the shoots and branches are dead and the trees have to start again with shoots from the trunk. “The orange crop is also frozen and there will not be oranges enough in the South to pay for the picking. Where the output in oranges and peaches used to be thousands of carloads, there is now no prospect of furnishing the section with fruit enough to eat. If Georgians want to eat peaches this summer they will have tg be purchased in California; and if Florida people want to eat oranges they will have to be from California. There is no fruit in the South, and the place it occupied in the Eastern market will have to be taken by California fruit. It ought to be & good year for the fruit growers of this State.” has been sapping the very life and your health. DR. McLAUGHLIN—Dear Sir: say that it has helped me wonderfully.
