Christian Church Alleged by Speaker to Have Been Largely Respon- sible for the Recent Troubles in China. e e BOSTON, March 3L—President W. J. Tucker of Dartmouth College took the Christian church to task for its part in the Chinese troubles during the Lenten sermon at the Old South Church this evening. His strongest sentences were these: “The very apostles sent forth by the church have shown they do not know how to keep the ten commandments. In China it looks as though the gos_gel was sus- pended as well as the law. he Christian church bas been set back, nobody knows how far, by the behavior of the mission- aries in China.” His subject was “The College Graduate and the Church.” He asked what attrac- tiveness the church has been for the student in these days of great material wealth, He answered it by saying that the need was a plain matter of fact morality. The last century was one of missionary activity, yet at its close its work was discredited. It is a time of {!;l‘ornilu’confus:an also. We must expect e ure of Christendom t Christianity.” S THROWN FROM A CART AFTER BEING ARRESTED SAN RAFAEL, March 3L.—An unlucky man wko gave the name of J. Brown of San Francisco was arrested to-day by Deputy Game Warden Martin for catch- ing trout at the Paper Mill. He was brought to this city and paid $20 fine.

L i e s MARSHAL OVER LIVELY ALASKA Frank Richards, New Offi- cial, Says He Will Not Favor Factions. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Wash,, March 31.—Frank H. Richards of Whatcom has returned from Washington with a commission in his | pocket for the United States Marshalship | of Alaska, second division. He will re-| main in Seattle until the opening of navi- gation, taking passage on one of the first vessels sailing for Nome. His term of of- fice begins with his arrival in the district. Richards makes emphatic denial of the report more or less circulated in certain | quarters about getting his position | through the assistance of the so-called McKenzie-Noyes receivership faction. “Such a report, so far as my friends | are concerned " Richards said, “‘is shardly worth noticing. -and I only make the denial with a view to setting right those who do not know me or may be preju- diced by the stories. I belong to no Nome or other Alaska faction and 1 propose 10 show no partiality or favoritism for any man or combination of men. My ad- ministration of the office will spel{ for itself, and on my record as Marshal I am willing to stand or fall “My jurisdiction will extend over the second “division of the Alaska district. This comprises what is generally termed Northwestern Alaska. It takes in Dutch Harbor, Unalaska, the Kuskikwim and from the headwaters of the latter river to the Arctic, including also the Koyo- kuk. My official headquarters will be at St. Michael, (hough I shall, of course, spend most of my time in the more popu- lated district of Nome. The second di- vision is allowed several regular or office deputy marshals and such special depu- ties as are required. In fact, every United States Court Commissioner is ex- pected to have a special district deputy.” Richards received his appointment Jan- uary 29, and will succeed signed. C. L.

A'SPESH" — S WHEN AN EX-POLICEMAN INFORMED LIEUTENANT BIRDSALL AND THREE PATROLMEN YESTERDAY THAT THE GENTLEMAN WHO HAD JUST GONE UNSALUTED FROM. THE CENTRAL POLICE STATION ‘WAS NONE OTHER THAN POLICE COMMISSIONER HOWELL, THERE WAS CONSTERNATION. 2 B8 R LS LIEUTENANT of police and three patrolmen are shivering in their shoes and wondering what hap- pens to the officer who neglects to salute his superior when that | superior is a Police Commissioner and when the offense is committed in the cen- tral police station, of all places. But when the superior officer. makes official calls in telephone tea attire, and the subordinates do not recognize the face be- hind the waxed points of the mustache, military etiquette has to go by the board. Police Commissioner Howell drifted into the central police station yesterday after- noon about 4 o'clock with eclat equal to that which hangs about Beylard when he C B APTAINS OF SAILING VESSELS mounts his coach and tightens the reins over his piebald four. Howell wore a Prince albert coat that fitted like a glove, light trousers and a silk hat. He twirled a cane in his gloved right hand. His mustache was waxed into points that were needle-like. No one has ever warmed the atmosphere there as Howell did. Lieutenant Birdsall was standing néar the window where reports are received. He did not come to attention, nor did he raise his hand to his cap in’salute,.and when he looked at Howell his eye showed only interest in that gentleman's toggery, and nothing of recognition of his superior. The Commissioner asked if Captain Witt- man was in his office, and plied that he would not be in until 8 o’clock.’ Colonel Howell wheeled around and looked sharply at Policemen Kearney, irdsall re-* | Kaskell_and Callinan, who were staring at him with evident interest. Not a man- Jack of -them saluted, and the Commis- sioner turned away with a remark about the weather, and explaining that he would return at 8 o'clock to see Captain Witt- | man he started to leave. .As he went out | former Policeman McLaughlin, now a spe- cial, entered and through force of habit saluted. “Why did you salute that swell?” asked Birdsall. : “Don’t you know that man?” asked McLaughlin. ‘“That {8 Commissioner Howell.. - If you fellows didn’t salute him you are up against it.” - The lieutenant wilted and the helmets of the'three policemen fell off and rattled about on the floor. They are four brave maen, but they are scared. MEET HAMPERING DIFFICULTIES The American ship Eclipse and the French four-masted bark Cap Horn were both ready for sea yesterday, but did not sail. The vessels were detained from very different reasons, but both captains consider they have just cause for anger. The Cap Horn is a water ballast vessel and came here from Iquique with about 1200 tons of coal aboard. She was char- tered to load wheat for Europe and went to Port Costa for her cargo. When it came to measuring her capacity the sur- veyors took her water tanks into account and only allowed her to take so much grain. The quantity allowed did not bring her down to within two feet of her load, and Captain Hamon demanded more cargo. Then the underwriters stepped in and refused to insure the ship and cargo if any more grain was put aboard. The Cap Horn is in the stream, ready to sail as soon as the matter is adjusted, but it Jooks as if the owners are going to be out about $2000 in freight money, owing to the surveyors refusing to allow her to load to what the captain considers her full capacity. e Itclipse is detained owing to the fact that the Chinese who were to io north on her to work in the canneries did not appear. The ship was to have gone to sea yesterday morning at $ o’clock, but about twenty out of two hundred and fifty had appeared. The majority of the Mongolians had re- celved an advance on their wages, and somebody_will be money out of pocket if the men do not put in an appearance to- day. A rumor has got around Chinatown that every Chinese who goes north this year must be vaccinated, and as the fish- ermen are afraid of the operation nearly all have gone into hiding. They will be hunted up and put aboard. —— Steamship Curacao Arrives. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s Curacao arrived from Mexican ports Sat- urday. She was a day late owing to en- countering a heavy northwest gale that lasted all the way from Cape San Lucas to Ban_Francisco. Besides the concen- trates from Mexican mines she brough: a lot of turtles from Magdalena Bay and a big shipment of tomatoes. Captain Par- sons reports that the battleship Wiscou- sin was in Magddlena Bay when the Cu- racao was there. The officers told him thac they expected to start for home April I The crew has been “licked into shay and the battleship has proved herself to be everything that was promised for her. In regard to the weather Cantain Par- sons says it has been almost a succession of gales all along the Mexican coast. The men on the steamshio Saint Denis, that runs to Cedros Island, say that never in the history of the country had there been such bad weather. The British ship Ce- darbank was at Santa Rosalia, the schooner Lena Sweasey was at Altata, both discharging, and the German steam- ship Osoino was almost discharged and was to sail for Iquique. Captain Parsons was the guest of honoz at a banquet given in Mazatlan by Gov- ernor Canado of Culiacan. United States Consul Keyser was among the guests anc the affair was most enjovable. After a well-earned ~vacation Ch'et Steward Charles Frank is once more back at his post on the Curacao. He has a host of friends on the run and nis weicome back was a very cordial one. : The Curacao brought up eleven cabin passengers and thirty-one in the second cabin. Those who came up in the cabin were: at that hour only G. N. Tichenor. F. Plank Jr. Adela Plank, Maria Es&pinora, Mantel Espinora, Clinton L. White, W. 8. Kendall, G. McFarland, Amparo Ricardo, Fravclsca Gogeneche, R. J. Anderson. s ot - i) Gasoline Steamer for Hawaii. The Hawailan Navigation Company is to have two large gasoline schooners built in San Francisco. Last year they had the Surprise and Eclipse built here for the sugar trade and both proyed to be handy and inexpensive vessels. The Sur- rise was wrecked on Hawail and the clipse is now too small for the trade. The new boats will each have a capacity of 400 tons of sugar, so they will be con- siderably larger than the Eclipse. forte ‘Water Front Notes. The tug Shelikoff will leave for Nushi- gak this week. She will tow the launch Uyak to Kadlak Island. The steamship Valencia sails for Orca with supplies for the canneries to-mor- Tow. The steam tender Tyonic will leave for the canneries this week. She is a new boat and proved a success on her trial last Saturday. The_ transport Arab sailed for Manila with her load of horses yesterday. —_—— NEWS OF THE OCEAN.

OMAHA, Nebr.,, March 31.—There is such a clamor to induce Governor Charles H. Dietrich to retain the office of Gover- nor till December that he has decided to do so. This has caused a protest from Lieutenant Governor friends, who say the Governor has been induced to hold the office by powers be- hind the throne which have little confi- dence in Savage's ability. As The Call has previously announced, Savage says the attitude of the Governor is discredit- ing him before the people. lavage’'s partisans are now making the charge that Governor Dietrich does not intend ever to quit the Governorship, but will next fall resign his seat in the United States Senate and appoint D. E. Thompson to the vacancy. There appears to be some foundation for this story, and it is creating a decided sensation in high Republican_circles. Thompson and_ Dietrich are warm per- sonal friends and Thompson spent money treely to aid Dietrich’s election. The lat- ter has said openly that he thought Thompson entitled to the Senatorial toga. —_— y NEGRO SHOOTS OFFICERS AND IS HIMSELF KILLED Escaped Convict, Desperate at Cap- ture, Wounds His Two Captors, Probably Fatally.

Members Disqualified by City Attor- ney Johnson’s Opinion Are Replaced by Two Appointees of Mayor Barstow. FENISRPEEAN Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, April L The Republicans secured control of the new City Council at 1 o’clock this morn- ing by a brilliant coup, and immediately organized by electing Louis Schaffer pres- ident of the Council and Rod W. Church City Clerk. The old Council went out of office at midnight and a few minutes later Mayor Anson Barstow received a written opinion from City Attorney C A. Johnson that G. T. Burtchaell, Councilman-elect at Large on the Municipal League Ticket, and Councilman-elect James Smilie, also a Munici] Leaguer, were disqualified. Burtchaell's disqualification, according to the opinion, was owing to the fact that he resides in the same ward as C. A. Bon, ‘who was elected at large on the Republi- can ticket. The charter says that no two Council- men at large may reside In the same ward, and as Bon received the most votes his election stands, while Burtchaell's does not. Smilie is held to be disqualified because he has not been a registered voter in Oak- land for three years. Mayor Barstow immediately appointed two Republicans—W. P. Courtney, Coun- cilman at large, vice Burthchaell, and A. W. Bishop, vice Smille—ard then called a meeting of the Council, which was heid at 1 o’clock this morning, The organiz: tion was quickly perfected and an a | journment taken until 2 o’clock this aft- ernoon. The Council now stands: Republtcan — Bishop, Connolly. yer, Bon and Fitzgerald. Municipal League—Wallace, and Cuvelller. Independent Republican—Wixon. Wixon attended the meeting this morn- ing, and will cast his vote on all party questions with the Republicans. The Re- publicans have a working majorfty and quorum, and Burtchaell and Smille can only obtain seats by getting a court de cisfon_ seating them, which the best au- thorities say they will not be able to do. as the Mayor in appointing Courtney and Bishop acted within the law.
