The case of Frank Band and Louils Nave, boys, charged with attempting tg rob George Hansen at Jackson and San- some streets early Sunday morning, was dismissed by Judge Cabaniss yesterday. The testimony showed that the defend- ants and two other boys met Hansen and his friend and asked them to treat. Hansen said he Lad only 15 cents and one of the boys, not believing him, put his band in his pocket. Just then two officers appeared and the deferdants were ar- rested, the other two boys running awa The marriage was quite a surprise | | | | | N0 CONSPIRACY, Y3 HEYWOOD Marine Corps Command- ant Testifles at Meade Court. NEW YORK, Nov. 26.—P. C. Adsersicn, a clvil engineer, was questioned to-day at the trial by court-martial of Colonel Meade of the United States marine corps. He testified that in his opinion the cost of the disputed repair work at the navy yard was excessive. Major Theodore ‘Wood of the marine corps testified that while the repair work was crude it ful- | filled the specifications, Brigadier General Charles H. Heywood, commandant of the marine corps, testified that he had not spoken to any one of re- tiring before he reached ghe age limit, which will be two years from now, and that he could not afford to retire at an earlier day. He denied having an under- standing with any one as to the succes- sion to the office. He stated that he had not seen or heard anything to indicate a conspiracy between Colonel Denny and Major Lauchheimer against Colonel Meade or any attempt to injure him at headquarters. “On the contrary,” saild General He; wood, “I think the action taken at head- quarters was such as to make Colenel Meade a strong candidate for the office of commandant of the marine corps.” General Heywood said he was perfectly X3 satisfled with the work done on the ma- rine barracks; the contractors had made good all defects for which they were properly resgonslble. He said that Col- onel Denny had told him that he had on two occasions been embarrassed while in- specting by the fact that Colonel Meade was under the influence of liquor, and a written report on this point was then made by Colonel Denny at his orders. e Al TURKISH DIPLOMAT MAKES AN EXPLANATION Embassador to Great Britain Tells of the Seizure of a Convent. LONDON, Nov. 2.—Costaki Anthopulo Pasha, the Turkish Embassador to Great Britain, has given out the Porte’s expla- nation of the seizure of an Armenian con- vent in the neighborhood of Mush by Armenian revolutionists and the subse- quent surrounding of the convent by the Turkish troops. He says that bandits have, been ravaging the country and ex- torting money and goods from the Ar- menian population, murdering those who refused to comply with their demands. These_bandits took about sixty women and children as prisoners to the monas- tery and Andranik, the leader of the ban- dits, tried to obtain money by threats from the Armenians of Mush. Thereupon, in order to protect the wo- men and children, the imperial authorities surrounded the monastery with Turkish troops. Some fighting occurred, during which two brigands and a Turkish cor- poral were killed.- British and Russian Consuls repaired to the scene and testified to’the corréct attitude of the Turkish soldiers. The brigands kept up a hot fire from the monaStery and being well provisioned they were able to offer a stout resistance. ’, This official statement from the Turkish Embassador does not explain how the affair ended, but a dispatch received sub- sequently from Constantinople says that the brigands fled and the Turkish troops were withdrawn.

Nedda.. .Miss Fritzi Scheff ...Mr. de Marchi Mr. Declery .Mr. Reiss Mr. Campanari Conductor, Mr. Flon. e HE large audience that was ex- pected to be present last night to hear the second performance of “Die Walkure” by the Grau com- pany at the Grand Opera-house failed to materialize. Just why soclety did not turn out in full force for the superb presentation puzzled the management and the Wagnerites. Either grand opera is a soclal fad, as Manager Grau himself has said, and the novelty of gala nights has worn away, or else the indisposition of Eames, Sander- son and Calve has created alarm and the public fears to put up its dollars as it did during the first two weeks of the season. The Grand Opera-house was a little more than half filled last night. There was no elaborate display of dress and promenading in the lobby and foyer was confined to the men in the audience. The artistic work of Gadski, Schumann- Heink, Bispham, Reuss-Belce and Van Dyck was rewarded with considerable ap- plause and the great “Valkyrie chorus’ elicited the heartiest approbation. The work of Damrosch and the orchestra was well worth a visit to the theater and the conductor was called to the footlights with the singers. The management announced last night to the press that it hoped to present Eames, Sanderson and Calve as per programme and that seats for the rest of this and next week would be placed on sale at the box office of the opera-house to-day. Grau has arranged to present Calve on Saturday might in “Carmen.” A representative of Manager Grau stated last night that no word had been received from lve, but that there was every hope thal she would be back in San Francisco to sing on Saturday night. A big house is expected to-night when a double bill will be given, consisting of “Don Pasquale” and *I Paglaccl.” Sembrich, Scotti, Tavecchia, Vanni and Salignac are to sing in “Don Pasquale’ and Fritzi Scheff, Marchi, Declery, Reiss and Campanari are to be heard in the celightful composition of Leoncavallo. The management announces ‘“Romeo et Juliette,” with Sybil Sanderson, for the matinee to-morrow, to be given at popular prices, while the bill for to-morrow even- ing is “Die Meistersinger,” with its great cast. Eames is expected to_ sing on Friday night in “Aida’ and the Saturday matinee is to be “Il Barbiere di Siviglia,” with Sembrich in the s 3 BLAINE MARSHAL - FIRES INTO OB One Man Is Dying and Another Seriously Wounded. Special Dispatch to The Call. BLAINE, Wash., Nov. 26.—Strict atten- tion to duty nearly cost Night Marshal Doane of Blaine his life last night. While arresting an Italian laborer he was set upon by a number of the offender’s coun- trymen, armed with: knives and axes. After warning them to desist Doane fi' ed, emptying six chambers of his revc.ver into the mob. Two Italians were hit and one of them will die. He was shot three times, through the neck, lung and shoul- der. Another Italian was shot through For some time an attempt has been fishermen and loggers in this vicinity to refrain from carrying concealed weapons. Some Itallans have obeyed, but others have refused. Orders were accordingly is- sued to search all Italilans when they came to town and take their weapons from them. The object was to prevent their fightihg among themselves. Doane's iife had been threatened because he made strenuous efforts to disarm all Italians found carrying weapons.

Principal O’Connor Denies Circulating Petition in * Her Behalf. ~ PR A choice morsel of gossip was tossed about among the city’s school teachers vesterday. It was to the effect that a pe- tition would be circulated among the pedagogues for signature, asking Mayor- elect Schmitz to reappoint Mrs. Mary Kincald as a member of the Board of Education. It was stated that Principal Joseph O’Connor of the Mission Higa School would take the petition around and ‘re- eufivt the teachers to append their names 0 A detall of the story was that O'Connor ‘would be backed up in the affair by a yel- low morning journal that had sent him around the world. Gossip reported that the yellow journal, having aided Mayor- elect Schmitz in his campaign, would de- mand the reappointment of Mrs. Kincald. Teachers who were seen yesterday were averse to talking for publication, but Principal O’Connor was willing to be quoted. He said: “ This story is' made out of whole cloth. There is not a word of truth in it. I have had absolutely nothing to do with the circulation of any petition asking for the reappointment of Mrs. Kincaid. I defy any one to come forward and say that I am connected with any such propo- sition. It is against the rules of the de- partment and I do not know of any such petition being circulated. I am glad of this opportunity of making a statement and wish to go on record In the mat- er.” The school teachers are awalting anxiously the time when Mayor-elect Schmitz will assume office. The women teachers are said to be almost unanimous- ly opflggsed to the reappointment of Mrs. ncaid. SATISFIED MRS. STEPHENS. ENDED HER OWN EXISTENCE Captain Seymour, After Making a Thorough Investigation, Drops the Case. After making a thorough investigation into the allegation made by Frank Spen- cer, brother of the late Mrs. Charles A. Stephens, that she did not commit sui- cide, Captain Seymour is satisfled that Spencer 1s wrong. Yesterday he heard his statement, which was altogether based on talk and suspicion, and also the state- ment of the dead woman's husband, who characterizes the suspicions cast upon his parents as a gross outrage. His mother had mot been in the city since a week before last Sunday and his father is a decrepit man, 70 years of age. The stomach of the dead woman was sent to the city chemist for anlysis after the autopsy had shown acid poisoning, probably hydrochloric acid. Meantime Captain Seymour is satisfled that the ver- dict of the Coroner’s jury Monday was correct and will do nothing further in the matter. —_———— . Police Officer Fined. Ex-Police Officer Frank Green, who was dropped from the force on June 25 last for failing to report at a fire, applied to tha Police Commissioners last night for refn- statement. Office® R. H. Beamer pleaded guilty to falling asleep on duty in the White Star laundry and was fined $10. The cases of Officers Barry and Robecrt Lean were con- tinded for a week. For the fifth time the Commissioners refused a license to open a grill and sa- loon at the cormer of Beale and Market streets. There were a number of peti- tions and protects filled by business men in the neighborhood, the protests out- weighing the petitions. ADVERTISEMENTS.
