N., were laid to rest in Mountain View Cem- etery to-day, after impressive funeral services had been held at St. Paul's Epis- copal Church. Many other naval officers and friends of the family attended the solemn exer- cises, which were conducted by the Rev. Robert Ritchie, rector of St. Paul's. The chancel, reading desk and altar were buried jn beautiful flowers. The casket was hidden with violets. The music was rendered by a maie | quartet composed of H. A.

Parties in Europe have become inter- ested in a scheme to establish a per- fumery factory in this vicinity or at some point north of Tehachapi, near a section where flowers can be raised in large quantities to be sold to the factory. J. Jacobs of Tacoma, who has recently re- turned from Europe, where he talked over the project with moneyed men, s in this city, stopping at a_downtown hotel. He came here to get all the information possible, and yesterday called upon Man- ager Flicher of the State Board of Trade for facts. Mr. Jacobs said that there js no lack of capital that can be enlisted upon the proper showing. Jacobs is of the opinion that there are many farmers who would gladly raise the flowers that are wanted for an agreed price. The average income from an acre of flowers in Europe runs from $75 to $100 per acre for roses, and other flowers pay well. It is neces least 1000 acres of orange orchard shall be not more than fifty miles distant from the perfumery factory. Orange blossoms, so Mr. Jacobs thinks, could be trans- ported fifty miles without being injured for use in making perfumery. The flowers needed most are roses, lilacs, carnations and violets, Mr. Jacobs will visit the Santa Clara Valley first and then will go through the San Joaquin and Sacramento and perhaps other valleys in search of the ideal spot in_which to locate the perfumery estao- lishment. REGIMENT IS ASSIGNED TO DUTY IN THE EAST War Departfiu;;t Orders Third Infan- try to Posts in Kentucky, Indi- ana and Tennessee.

The regiment has been ab- sent from this country since early in 1899, and has seen conilnuous service in Northern Luzon during its stay in the Philippines. It is expected that the regi- ment_will be recruited up to the limit and remain on duty at some of the home stations for at least two years. Lieutenant Surgeons E. B. Bailey, E. T. Wilson, W. E.

McNEVINS AND KENNY SURRENDER THEMSELVES They Are Booked on Complaint of Dr. George T. Brady on Charge of Battery. William McNevin, Harry McNevin and L. Kenny, charged with battery on com- | plaint of Dr. George T. Brady, surren- dered themselves at the Hall of Justice yesterday morning and after peing book- ed at the City Prison, were released on bail. “John Doe,” the other defendant, is keeping in the: background, but, ac: cording to’ the McNevins; is only a myti. The cases will be called in Judge Caban- ise’ court this morning. The _only regret the McNevins have is that Mis. Gertrude Piper’s name should be dragged into publicity by the action of Dr. Brady and his partner, Dr. George M. Chase, in bfinging the matter to the notice of the police. They still claim that the two doctors had their retainers to kelp in their assault Monday night in Union Square, and they were alone.

The expenses of each concert amount to $169, and with the railways providing $150 of the money, the Com- missioners can readily furnish the re- maining $19. Commissioner Spreckels and Mayor Schmitz were instrumental fn inducing the company to subscribe toward keep- ing up the music in Golden Gate Park on Sundays -and holidays. The board will hold its regular meeting this after- noon. —_——— Dcdge Needs More Field Deputies. -.ssessor Dodge sent a petition to Mayor Schmitz and the Board of Supervisors yesterday requesting that he be allowed thirty field deputies during May and June. Dodge says that this necessity arises from two causes—first, the appropriation for this office’is insufficient"to enable the Assessor to properly discharge his dutfes, and, secondly, as a result of the fact that a considerable sum has been expended this year out of the appropriation in re- vising the assessed valuations of prop- erty, thus leaving less funds available for the completion of the necessary field work connected with the collection of personal smmerty taxes. , Dodge further says that owing to' in- sufficient clerical help only $140,000 in per- sonal property taxes has been collected, though $625,000 was collected last yeac prior to July 1. Only $1600 is availablé for m&muu to collect this large delin- FRIDAY, 5 COMPLETED Presbyterian Committee to Submit Sixteen Articles. Certain Clauses Are to Be Dropped From the Form of Confession. WASHINGTON, April 17.—The Presby- terian creed revision committee completed | its labors to-day and adjourned. The com- mittee agreed unanimously upon a report to be made to the general assembly which will meet in New York on May 15! The members reserved the right to differ upon minor matters in the report to be made to the assembly, but the final report, an authorized statement says, was unani-| mous and hearty. The differences refer entirely to the question of phraseology, and do not apply to that of principle or doctrine. As finally determined upon this brief statement is to :contain sixteen articles, as follows: First—God, Second—Revelation. Third—Divine purpoge. Feurth—The creation, Fifth—The sin of man. Sixth—The grace of God, Seventh—Election, Eighth—Our Lord Jesus Christ. Ninth—Faith and repentance. th—Holy. spirft. venth—The new birth and the new life. welfth—The resurrection and the,life to come. A Thirteenth—The law of God. Fourteenth—The church ‘and &acram Fifteenth—The last judgment, - Sixteenth—Christian’ servite ‘and triumph. S The committee also was' ‘chatgelt with the work of the revision of the confession of faith by the preparation of a declara- tory statement defining the meaning . of certain portions of the confession. This feature of its labors had been com- pieted at previous sessions of the com- mittee and was finally reviewed and unanimously agreed upon here. The de- claratory statement deals with chapters 3 and 10 of the confession, the former referring to the eternal decrees of God and the latter, known as the elect infant clause; also with that portion of the con- fession relating to good works, which was revised by the change in the text. That oncerning oaths and the Pope of Rome clause will be dropped from the confes- sion.

E. Black, conductor of an electric car, who was killed on April 6 in Rich- mond in a collision with. the steam local which runs to the CIiff House. p The jury's verdict was: “We find that the Market Street Railway Company does not give its employes proper instructions regarding the crossing of tracks; there- fore we find that the railway company is responsible.” J. Elliott, the conductor of the electric car, swore that he stopped his car behind a real estate sign fifty feet from the cross- ing and then went ahead. When he got on the crossing he saw and heard for the first time the bell and the_engine of the approaching steam local. He swore also that he knew of no rule requiring motor- men to walt and give steam cars the right of way when they are within two blocks of a crossing. AP Fishermen Go on Strike. Twenty fishermen who were in the em- ploy of the Western Fish Company, 502 Merchant street, went out on strike last night because the manager of the com- pany, J. B. Inguglia, ordered them to come to work at 11 o'clock at night in- stead of 2 in the morning, as the firm's agreement with the Fishermen's Union requires. It is feared that this strike on the part of the Western Company's men may lead other fishermen of the union to follow their example, and thus the fish market will be unsupplied. The men who went out are packers and cleaners. —_——— Morrisey to Take Vacation, ' John Morrisey, resident manager of the Orpheum, will leave for St. Louis next Sunday for a two weeks' vacation, the first he has taken in eight years.

The stories of outrage and vio- lence in Ireland were infamous calumnles. The Nationalists in Ireland were only governed by a contemptible minority. ‘This statement was cheered by the Irish members, A htindred men, continued Redmond, stood ready to replace every man sent to prigon in this struggle. The Irish entreated Wyndham, the Chief Sec- retary for Ireland, to change his policy; but if he continued it *they would meet him face to face and give blow for blow. Their answer to his coercion of Ireland would be to harden their hearts, strengthen their organization and compel redress. ‘Wyndham replied that while it was true that there was a comparative absence in Ireland of crime against the person the lives of people were made miserable by intimidation and boycotting. The Gov- ernment was not acting from political mo- tives, but as the result of a mass of infor- mation laboriously collected and carefully examined. A motion for adjournment to discuss coercion made by Redmond '3’ rejected by a voté of 253 to 148. John Red- mond and John Dillon have sent a joint cablegram to former Congressman John F.
