D’Evelyn, William | Greer Harrison and Others Make | Speeches That Arouse the Audience. A The British residents of San Franeisco | packed Metropolitan Temple last night in aid of the London Mansion House fund for the relief of the familles of British soldlers killed in the Boer-British war. The entertainment, called on the pro- gramme ‘“‘a concert,” was of a varied na- | ture, consisting of enthusiastic addresses. some excellent musical numbers and Scottish national dances. Tommy Atkins and his herolc work at the front was the theme of the speeches. Willlam Greer Harrison presided and his introductions of the speakers of the even- ing recelved the same hearty welcoming vociferations as the eloquent efforts of the chosen orators. Whenever the English soldier was men- tioned, general or private, cheer after cheer rent the air, holding the speakers on the platform midway In their ad- dresses. Treating the Boers, sometimes with ridicule, sometimes with a deep feel ing of respect, the speakers were applaud- ed or hissed the subject-matter ex- alted the English soldier or passed with lukewarm mention of the Boers' part in the war. ; After the playing of the Highland pipes by I S. R. Tevendale, Donald Weir and | Adam Ross and the singing of the na- tional anthem, “America,” by Miss Grace L. Davis, Willlam Greer Harrison, chair- | man of the evening, delivered a stirring | address. In part he said: God save the Queen, that, ladies and gentle- men, is my speech. ' Should I speak for an hour I could say nothing that would appeal to | you so fully and so truly, but as your chair- | man for to-nizht I must appear before you a number of times, and I want to be quite at | home with you aud feel that whatever I say | is in the Interest of the best that is In this thering. ~ The meeting to-night is onme of ity and love and fellowship. We all know mmy we all know of his life t he has done for his country, and in this far-distant land, thousands and thousands of miles away, we have decided that those he left behind, whether wife, children, mother or sisters, shall suffer just as little a3 | possible. Tommy is making no_appeal to the | world. He is doing his duty. But those who | admire and like him are not going to be sileu because Tommy is. Tommy is behind his gu —that is his place. Tommy is doing his Wor very steadily. 1 want to tell you that I have | | Just left a large asesmblage of American gen- | | tlemen, “all of high standing, and 1 have not | ch: wh and here Atkins is found one among them whose heart was not in to-night’s meeting. I notice on the pro- | gramme that Irish songs, Scotch ballads flnd] Welsh songs are to be sung, but they are n«)l longer to be called by such titles, because lhey' | are anl British songs. 1 | Miss Alma Berglund followed and | | sweetly sang “Robin Adair” and “Coming | | Thro' the Rye.” Professor Henry Holmes, | leader of the Symphony orchestra, was | accorded a warm reception and played several violin solos. Duncan Mackintosh, | Sybil | Campbell, attired in_costume, danced a | | Highland reel that brought down the | house. Attorney F. D. Brandon followed | with a short address. In part he said: | | _Mr. Chairman and Ladies and Gentlemen: me seven or eight weeks ago [, in common th a number of former British subjects, de- | | sired to have a meeting which should to some | | extent offset the pro-Boer meetings which had | | already been held. The time seemed to be the very worst for the British army. Disaster fol- | lowed disaster. Almost every day brought | news of some British defeat or repulse, and it | | ssemed to those of us who spoke together on | the subject that it was fitting that we should stand by in the blackest hour that England had seen for a great many years past and de- | clare ourselves in favor of the old land | Before arrangements could be made the tide | turned. Lord Roberts— | The speaker could proceed no further | | for at least five minutes. Cheer after | cheer rang through the hall for “‘Bobs™ and for Kitchener and White. When the enthusiasm had subsided he continued: Roberts, followed by the soldlers who loved | him, had once more caused victory to perch | on the British banners. Then we felt that the meeting that had been projected was unneces- sary. The time had gone by and we thought it was not well to hold what seemed to be an entirely pro-British meeting to offset the pro- | Boer meetings. PBut we said there was Tommy | Atkins to be provided for. | The speaker then concluded his speech with an account of the doings in the | | Transvaal. The mention of Kruger's | name aroused a storm of hoots and hisses | that completely drowned the speaker's statement about the venerable Boer leader. J. F. Fleming sang the “Soldiers of the | Queen” with force and feeling. The rol- | licking song scored a great hit with the | audience and many voices joined in the singing of the chorus. N. F. Taigan of | the Seaforth Highlanders, dressed in his natty uniform of red and armed with his rifle, marched on the stage and went | through the evolutions of the British soldier. The sight of a real live “Tommy Atkins” ~was the signal for wild en- thusiasm. | “Dr. Frederick W. d'Evelyn was next in- | | troduced, and the hero of the first upris. | ing In the Transvaal was accorded an ova- | tion. For over half an hour the doctor | entertained his auditors with descriptions and “camp sketches” that were full of Jathos and replete with stirring incident. }ie took umbrage at David Starr Jordan, president of Stanford University, because | that gentleman accused the English sol- | dier of being a bully, and he paid his re- | spects to General Cronje, for whom he has | very little regard. He told of the cruelty | and the treachery of the Boers, and his | word painting drew laughter and tears from his audience. Speaking of his expe- rience in a besieged fort he said in part; On the ninety-fifth day of the investment the | 103 survivors of the 220 men who took refuge there left the little fort, their bugles playing “‘Hearts of Oak’ and old flag flying overhead. (Applause.) Guess their indignation when they learned | that an armistice which terminated in peace | | had been declared two weeks previously, but | news had been suppresséd by Cronje, the ideal | of the American newspapers, That, ladies and gentlemen, was not the act of a man; it was not the act of a soldier. but | the treachery of a Cronje. That act, combined with many others, won for him the title of the “Nana Sahib” of the Transvaal, and if there is a divinity that shapes our ends, shapes the | ends of Boer and Briton, rough as they all are, methinks there a fitting dispensation i fact that the ‘‘Nana Sahib’ of the Tran: | should needs surrender to ‘Indian Bobs of Kandahar.” Mrs. J. E. Birmingham then rendered | Kipling's ‘“‘Absent-minded Beggar,” and | at_the conclusion of the singing of the | noble poem a collection was taken, which added to the fund to be devoted to the | care of Tommy Atkins' relatives. Rev. A. | T. Needham delivered an address; H. M. Fortescue rendered a vocal solo; Miriam Sydney Smith did a_ sailor's hornpipe; | Miss Sybil Campbell did a sword dance, and the entertainment concluded with | the singing of “God Save the Queen” by the entire audience, led by Mrs. Eva Ten- ney.

A Curacao Was Quarantined at Mexican Ports Owing to the Plague Scare. Simpson Builds “Just One More” Vessel. cilig The steamer Santa Rosa, overhauling that lasted nearly three months, sailed for southern ports yester- day. Soon after passing out through the heads something went wrong with her machinery and she was compelled to an- chor a mile southwest of the Cliff House. Soon afterward the fog settled down over the ocean, and the Santa Rosa was not seen again until about 4 p. m. She was still at anchor and alongside was the steamer Gipsy, while hove too a quarter of a mile away was the Coos Bay. The latter was bound in from San Diego and way ports, while the Gipsy was outward bound for Monterey and Santa Cruz. The Gipsy left here about 3 p. m. yes- terday and soon after setting his course the captain ran across the Santa Rosa at anchor. Captain Alexander explained that there was a slight defect in the machin- ery, which would be rectified in a short timé and that the steamer would then pro- ceed to Port Harford. The Gipsy re- mained in attendance and soon afterward the Coos Bay came along, and Captain Shaw also hove to in order to find out if assistance was required. Both the Gipsy and Coos Bay found that no assistance was required and proceeded on their way. The steamer Curacao arrived from Mex- jean ports yesterday about twenty-four hours behind time. Owing to the absurd reports of plague in Chinatown sent broadcast over the world the vessel was quarantined in every port she went o, and in consequence a loss of fully$4000 has been entailed upon the owners of the vessel, The Curacao brought up twelve cabin and eleven steerage passengers. Among the cargo was a quantity of concentrates, sulphates, ore and bullion valued at $150,- 000. As soon as the steamer had landed her passengers she went up to Selby’s smelting works to discharge the ore, con- centrates and sulphates. A telephone system for the use of the lighthouse keepers on the Farallones is to be erected on the islands, and the Govern- ment is now calling for bids for the in- stalling of the plant. Tenders must be all in with the lighthouse engineer by April 23. A telephone system will save the light- house men on the island many a weary walk and will be a great benefit to tug- boats and shiprlnk generally. The wreck of the ship City of Florence as it lies In Halfmoon Bay was sold to Ringolski Brothers of Oakland for $407 50 vesterday. The cargo of nitrate that went down with the ship was sold for $20. Latest reports from Halfmoon Bay state that the wreck is surrounded by quicksands and that nothing Is visible of the hull ex- cept a small portion of the stern. Should Ringolski Brothers save the anchors and chains alone from the wreck they will not be much out of pocket on the purchase. A. M. Simpson’s new schooner Churchill is now loading lumber at Coos Bay for San Francisco. The vessel was originally intended for Captain James H. Bruce and others, but there was some friction over the manner in which the vessel was being built, so Mr. Simpson seized the upipnrrl)l;k other parties were glad of the chance to get the craft off their hands, but now they would willingly pay %000 over the contract price and take the Churchill It is several years ago since A. M. Simp- son sald he would never build another ves- sel, and to emphasize that fact he named the barkentine then nearing completion | Omega. A year or so later the building craze seized him again and he laid the keel of another vessel, which he called the Addenda. The latest addition proved such a success that Simpson ordered another | vessel built and called her the Encore. After the Encore was finished there was enough lumber gathered together in the shipyard to bulld another vessel, so the Gleaner (gleaned from the left-over lum- ber) was put on the stocks. The echo from the Workmen's hammers had hardly died away when another vessel was in de- mand, and the Echo is now in commission in consequence. After the Echo came the Repeat, and now the Simpson Lumber Company has the Churchill in commis- sion. The latter name was not Mr. Simp- son’s choosing, but was given to the ves- sel by Captain Bruce and his associates. The four-masted schooner Joseph L. Ev- iston, built for Charles Nelson, is_also loaded and ready to sail for San Fran- cisco. She is drawing seventeen feet of water, however, and as the bar has u‘hdolled she cannot get out until the high tides. The British ship Euterpe, on which as high as 35 per cent reinsurance was paid, arrived at mantle, Australla, yester- after an |¢ | | | | | day, after a passage of 150 days fr Puget Sound. g e The Santa Fe Company's new ferry steamer, Ocean Wave, will probably have her first trial trip to-day. She was form- erly a river and Sound steamer and was towed down here from Puget Sound. For seven months she has been tied up at Hay & Wright's ship yards in Oakland Creek, being transformed Into a ferry steamer. Her bow has been cut off and rebuilt in ferry-steamer fashion, and her staterooms have all been taken out. The date of her official trial trip has not yet been announced. M M.
