Services are held aboard and a number of | tracts and some literature are distributed among the sailors. Yesterday the launch was sent out in spite of the northwester that was blowing at the rateof twenty-five miles an hour on the bay. All went well until midstream was reached, when the machi y broke down. Those aboard waved signals of distress and did ever thing possible to attract attention, but in vain.

Willlam Rader’s sermon on the “Dreyfus Tragedy' was Teceived by the congregation of the Third Congregational Church last night with hearty applause. The able pastor of that well-known | church did not mince words in his dis- cussion of the persecution now going on in the French capital. He chose as his text Matthew, vii:l, 2, 3. In part he sald: The Dreyfus tragedy Is m reproduction and revelation of the baser passions of the human | heart, and at the same time an expression of consclence, courage and a desire for justice, In conspiracy it is likened to Macbeth, and the conspiracy deplcted by Shakespeare in his Julius Caesar. Race and religious hatred is at the bottom of this affair. It is France against the Jew. Dreyfus has given the world an example of the former to suffer alone in prison, cut off from associations. He had for first, his consclence. His letters to his te his self respect and , the support of A herself to be to her husband what the was to him, and the wife of to the orator of Boston's mob: , as brave as a llon and as mag. the thunder rolling across the sky, defended him to the last, and is to be thought of with the Garrison: the Beechers and the Lincolns of history.

E. Dugan of Simpson-Memorial U. P. Church delivered a short sermon last night on the death of Boxer Franey. In part he said: As the result of a prizefight Wednesday evening, one of the pugilists is dead and an. other biack spot has been added to the reccrd of our city. We can scarcely call ourseives an intelligent and strong-minded people when the brute propensities so predominate that w are satisfied with nothing short of human flesh and blood With which to feed our do- praved appetites.

Anderson Gives an Interest- ing Lecture at the Academy of Sciences Hall. Dr. Jerome A. Anderson gave a most interesting lecture on the reincarnation of the soul at the hall of Academy of Sciences last evening. The speaker's treatment of the subject was masterly. In part, he said: Philosophy demands a reason for existence, and this reincarnation satisfles by showing that the soul is evolving by means of repeated- Iy returning to earth into a god-like being, and one worthy of and fitted for immortality, This rid would be but a chaos If the soul came h¥re but once, and the happy accident of death a few minutes after birth assured eter- nal happiness, while for one who struggled through a long life of honest endeavor eternal suffering is dealt out because of some doubtful ethical faflure. The soul is a conscious unit and conserves | its_own experiences; eternally broadening and widening {ts character through repeated re- birth until it at last becomes god-like, and the necessity for reincarnation ceases. It is dif- fering degrees of evolution which make dif- | fering grades of character, for the progress of any soul devends upon’ its own exertions. Genius, the Infini - differences in capacity which We see in men, are but the result of the exertions of the goul in past lives, and are due to neitaer favoritism nor accident. DELEGATES WILL FIGHT UNIT RULE REPUBLICANS ARE NOT OF ONE ACCORD. . | | = ichnirman Dodge’s Plan May Give Rise to Trouble in the Convention. The adoption of the unit rule on Satur- | day night by the delegates of the Central | Republican League has caused more dis- | cussion than any other occurrence in local | politics for some time past. Although the | rule was adopted as the plan of procedure | only after a hard fight and much hot dis- | cussion. There was a strong element in | the caucus In favor of permitting all fac- tions of the party to name the Coun Committeemen in the districts in which they won out, will combine with the Kelly and Crimmins delegation on that point when they get together on Wednesday. Charlie Nagle of the Thirty-sixth led | the fight against Mr. Dodge's resolution | | to adopt the unit, and his delegation bolt- | ed the caucus when it was adopted. Nagle | sald yesterday that he was voicing the | opinions of many other delegates in the hall and that they fight yet. in the interests of Kelly and Crimmin but said that if the unit were allowed to prevall and the bosses were robbed of the representation th would lose just that many votes at the election. Mr. Dodge, on the other hand, says the adoption of his resolution was another signal of victory over the bosse: and that there Is little danger of losing thelr voting strength, as they will have | to openly desert the party to do any harm. The candidate crop is growing. One of the most. promi t of recent announce- ments is that of Edward Head, the School Director, who is out for the nomination for Sheriff. Mr. Head was promised the nomination last year, but for wvolitical reasons withdrew. He is a prominent Fagle and a solid delegation from the Thirty-seventh. | He s confident that he will be awarded the place he seeks on the ticket. Supervisor Byington, another Native Son, will shortly announce his candidacy | for ‘District Atforney on the Democratic | ticket, and ex-Food Inspector James | Dockery had not finished the | | | | | Sheriff Martin’s chalr. ————— | Beer Was Asphyxiated. | _An autopsy held on the remains of B. | Beer, the commission merchant, who died | last Saturday, revealed the fact that gas had been the ca of death.

A similar alarm was sent in from the same box about six weeks ago.

Ao Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.—Baron von Herman, agricultural expert of the Ger- man Embassy, is back from a visit to Germany, where he observed the progress of the meat inspection bill in the Reich- stag and noted the development of the Agrarian movement which is having such a marked Influence on German affairs, in- cluding the questior of exporting German beet sugar to the United States. When asked as to the status of the meat inspec- tion bill he sald: “The bill was brought before the Reichstag last spring, but a strong oppo- sition developed among Agrarian mem- | bers on the ground that the Government | measures were too friendly to the United | States. About that time a provision was | placed in the agricultural appropriation bill passed in this country, giving the | Secretary of Agriculture authority to ex- clude such imports as he considered in- | jurious to health. This provision was | directed against certain German products, | such as toys which, it was said, might | be injurious to health becaus of the paint on them. vision caused a bad feeling in Germany | and made it more difficult for the Gov- | ernment to secure the passage of the meat | inspection bill. It was referred by the | Reichstag to a committee which had full power to determine which course was to | be adopted. The committee reported ad- versely and that was equivalent to & re- fusal by the Reichstag to take any action. { It may be brought forward again, as | there really ought to be some modification of the present law. But it is too early { to say what the future plans will be as | the Reichstag is adjourned until Novem- ber, and everything is at a standstill through the summer. It is probable, how- ever, that the Government will consult with the leaders, and see if some under- standing can be reached on the measure.” |~ Concerning the Agrarian movement, | Baron von Herman said: “It is strong, and is turning its attention to the | interests of the agricultural classes of Germany. The sugar question is essen- tially an Agrarian one. Our sugar inter- s are seriously injured by the tax and countervailing duties 1n the American tariff law and the Agrarians hold that this not only prejudices their industry, but that it is a discrimination against them. They feel {t most because it touches their point and as the results of their labor, but above tnis is the consid. eration that the system is not right, being a discrimination. They contend that the question should be dealt with on broad | In the final analy: it comes uestion grounds. s down to this simple “‘Shall there be a development of the cane industry of uncivilized, semi-bar- barous countries, or shall there be a con- tinuation of sugar products of clvilized As the United States does not | produce the sugar actually required by | consumers, a supply must come from out- | side sourc Now, it is to the inter- est of this country to buy of the German | producers, rather than turn to the cane industry of Java, for example, when Java ¢ ive little or no return for the pur; made of her.” Moreover, it should be understood,” | added Baron von Herman, “that the Ger- | man Government derives $30,000,000 out of the taxes on the sugar industries of the country, while it pays back as export | bounties only about $6,000,000, so as a mat ter of fact the bounty comes out of the pocket of the sugar producer, instead of | which the producer has pald on his in dustr; American revenue which is | the flour is exported.” | On the whole Baron von Herman seems to think that these pending questions can be solved to the satisfaction of both sides, and that a_ public understanding of the legislation involved will solve half the difficulty. Both nations, in his judgment, are too far advanced not to see that their interests lie in the development of their already existing trade, and not, as he says, “building up a Chinese wall against the outside world |U. C. CREW -TO ROW AGAINST BRITISHERS Great Interest Developed in the In- ternational Race to—Take Place at Astori | ASTORIA, Aug. 20.—Devotees of rowing, of whom about 10,000 are now in Astoria, are greatly worked up to-night over the | big International race which takes place | to-morrow morning. In this contest are | entered the Alameda and University of California crews, representing the Ameri- can side of the race, while the English representation consists of a crew picked from the finest oarsmen of Vancouver and Victoria, B. C. No other event ever held on the Pacific Coast has attracted so much attention, and there has been so much said of it that interest is almost en- tirely centered on the race. The British Columbians had their shell out for an hour this morning for the first time. The river was not smooth, but the Northerners went over the course several times, and expressed themselves as being well satisfied with it. The Californians also were out, but returned after a_short spin. Each of the three crews has a | large number of admirers, and the colors | worn yesterday in honor of the athletes have been supplanted b{; the colors of the several crews. Much betting has been done on the race, which fs thought by many to lie between the Alamedans and the Britishers. Fine weather is probable and a new record will doubtless be estab- lished. Each crew realizes that it has the race of a lifetime on its hands and each is determined to come out victorious.

Morey by sending her a box of poisoned candy on April 10 last, is now in an insane asylum at Jacksonville, 1. About two months ago Miss Horlock= er went to New York City to visit her si ter and recuperate, but it was generally thought at that time she would not re- turn to Hastings to attend the continua- tion of her hearing h was to come up during the equity term of the District Court, September 25, after which she was to have been bound over to the jury term of the District Court in December.
