Undertakers and Hackmen Support and Lodges Op- pose the Pastors. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, April 22.—Hereafter it will be extremely bad form to die in Sac- ramento in time to be buried on a Sun- day. The clergymen, undertakers and hackmen have practically come to an agreement to discourage the holding of Sabbath funerals, and at the next meet- ing of the Ministerial Union it is expected the clergymen will pass formal resolu- tions in accordance with this purpose. Rev. A. B. Banks, pastor of the First Baptist Church, expressed the sentiment prevailing among the pastors when he said to-day: “I am decidedly in favor of the proposed change. Sunday is a very busy day with a_ minister, by reason of his church ser- vices, Sunday-school and meetings of young people.” Rev. C. L. Miel, rector off§St. Paul's Church, said he had often been called upon to officiate at three or four funerals on a Sunday after his church services. The leading three undertakers of the city have rallied to the support of the clergy, saying that while they cannot absolutely decline to bury a person on a Sunday still they desire to aid in dis- couraging the fashion. The hackdrivers are standing in with their friends, the ministers and under- takers, while on the other hand the lodge men of the city are considerably worked up in their opposition to the departure. Jacob Alexander, deputy grand chief rax:,ger of the Foresters of America, said to-day : g "o not speak for the Foresters as an organization, but my opinion is that this and all other fraternal orders would pre- fer that funerals be held on Sundays whenever possible. ‘Members are fined for non-attendance upon the funeral of a brother member, and by having the funeral on a Sunday members can attend without loss of time from their work. If the funeral be held on a week day a member will have to lose half a day's work or pay his fine for non-attendance. ALONG THE COAST ANTA ANA, April 22.—George W.

EMERY, the actor who appeared at the Alcazar and Cen- tral Theaters in the role of lead- ing juvenile, has yentured a flight into the more ihviting and some- times more lucrative fleld of playwriting. He has written a historical play entitled “The Prince Imperial,” which is said by the critics to have considerable merit. As to the correctness of the critics’ juds- ment, the public will soon have occasion to pass their opinion, as Frederick Belas- co has promised an early production of the play. He is of the opinion that it con- tains many of the elements that produce success. “The Prince Imperial” is the story of the life of Napoleon Eugene Louls, Prince Imperial of France, son of Napoleon IIL As an attempt has not been made before to depict on the stage the career of this prince, whose tragic fate forms an inter- 1-esting chapter in the history of the Bona- parte family. Emery’s play will be appre- ciated by students of history and by ad- mirers of the romantic drama. The story follows the history of the times dating from the fall of Sedan, and its scenes are laid in London, Chiselhurst, Paris and Africa. The latter place is where the unfortunate prince met his -death at the hands of Zulus. Emery undertook no easy task when he ventured to write a play which required extensive historical research, and his friends are _congratulating him on the success which the critics say will greet his production.

SEATTLE, April 22.—The United States revenue cutter Bear arrived in port this morning from San Francisco on her voy- age to the Arctic waters, where she will serve the Government on many missions until late in the fall. The Bear will first carry a special Government agent to in- spect educational conditions among the Irdians and look after the affairs gener- ally of the natives of Alaska. The cutter will then go to Fox Island, where a large tract has been leased by private persons for the industry of propagating blue foxes for their pelts. After an inspection of the islands is made the vessel will pro- ceed toward the Siberian coast. there to secure a herd of 400 reindeer. These will be taken to St. Lawrence Island to serve as food and clothing for the natives dur- ing the winters. After landing the reindeer Captain Tut- tle will sall for waters in the neighbor- hood of Point Barrow to aid the whaling fleet if necessary. When the last boats are leaving Nome at the close of the nav- igation season the Bear will call at that place and St. Michael to be on hand in case of an emergency, such as lack of accommodations on the part of the mer- chant marine to carry persons who must get outside before winter. Captain Tut- tle intends to follow the last of the mer- chant fleet from Nome, thus enabli him to make a full report of the last sallings from Bering Sea before navigation is closed Ly lce.

Loses Arm in Machinery. POINT ARENA, April 22.—Ed Olson met an accident yesterday morning, which deprived him of his left arm. Ol- gsen was employed in the basement of the Greenwood Lumber Mill plant. He was standing close to the machinery, when his left arm became entangled in a revolving sprocket. The arm was cut off just above the elbow, and carried to the upper floor by the belting. Companions of the in- jured man stanched the flow of blood as best they could and hurried the injured man to the hospital.

Official Call for the Conven- tion May Upset the Programme. The Humboldt County delegation to the | Republican State Convention has been promised to Gage. The bargain provides that the goods shall be delivered to the machine manipulators by J. C. Bull, the county boss, and 8. A. Campbell, Col- lector of Customs at Kureka. The pro- gramme also provides that no primary election shall be held, but that the dele- gates shall be appointed by the county committee. It is now up to the Repub- lican citizens of Humboldt County to de- cide whether the Gage political machine or the voters of that county shall selec the men to represent Humboldt In the State Convention. The persistent claim of the machine gang that Humboldt was solid for Gage has excited the suspicion that raw work of some kind was in con- templdtion. If the scheme to appoint del- egates named by Bull and Campbell is carried out the Splendid Republican ma- jority in Humbolat County will be greatly diminished. Trying to Pack the Convention. Several weeks ago The Call gave the alarm that Gage's gang would attempt to pack the convention with appointed delegates. Subsequent events have justi- fied the note of warning. In Tuolumne and Calaveras the appointing game will be tried. There may be fairness and firmness enough in the executive body of | the Republican State Central Committee to provide in the official call for the con- vention that delegates must be chosen at a primary election. -The law is mandatory so far as twelve cities of the State are concerned. Delegates to represent San Francisco, Los Angeles, Oakland, San Jose, Sacramento, San Diego, Stockton, Pasadena, Vallejo, Berkeley, Alameda and Fresno must be chesen in’the man- ner directed by the primary election law. Proxies are not recognized by the law. For instance, if Henry C. Dibble fails of election in the Forty-first District he will be compelled to g0 to some county where the primary law does not prevafi to_ob. tain a proxy. The law also includes Sac ramento, hence if Grove Johnson fails of election in that city he will be obliged to g0 elsewhere for a proxy. The Gage programme is to pack .the nominating convention with the Bulls, Dibbles and Pendletons and trust to their fine work of manipulation for favorable resuits. Republican State Committee. W. M. Cutter, secretary of the Repub- lican State ‘Central “Committee;- holds to the view that a reselution- direeting that all delegates shall be chosen by primary election will be adopted. The committee that issued the call for the Republican State Conventlon at Santa Cruz, August 1900, to select nine Presidential Electors | is still In power. The call for that con- vention contained this provision. That the said State Convention shall consist of 682 delegates, AND ALL OF SAID DELE- GATES MUST BE ELECTED AT A PRIMARY ELECTION to be held in each county of the State on Tuesday, August 14, 1900, and in ac- cordance with the provisions of the laws of this State. The executive committee which framed this call consisted of: Wakefleld Baker, William J. Brady, Charles Bundschu, Henry J. Crocker, W. J. Dutton, Thomas Kirkpatrick, P. N. Lilienthal, H. D. Loveland, George Stone, W. S. Wood, 'Charles N. Felton, W. Frank ' Plerce, Willlam Barr. Douglas S. Come, E. C. Hart. Allen B. Lem- mon, W. M. Cutter, J. W. McKinley, Walter F. Parker, J. §. Slausson and C. S. Hardy. The duty of framing the call for the next Republican State Convention will dz volve upon the foregoing executive com mittee, and it remains to be determined whether the Gage scheme to appoint dei- egates in certain counties will be toler- ated. The committee may be forced to yield to Gage dictation, but there are several stalwart Republicans in the list ‘who will fight to the finish on the propo- sition that the people must have a voice in the election of delegates. UNITARIAN CLUB GIVES A DELIGHTFUL BANQUET General James F. Smith Describes the Political Situation in the Philippine Islands. About one hundred members of the Uni- tarian Club and their invited guests gath- ereu around the banquet table last night in the Merchants’ Club rooms. The af- fair proved to be one of the most de- lightful as Wwell as most successful in the history of the club. -General James F.

Smith told about the political situation in the Philippines and described the governing policy ‘which has been adopted by the United States in dealing with the natives.

He has several of his be men at work and they are working toe | and nail to ferret out the deep myste | surrounding the case. Tne police are 6 | vinced that when they find Charles | Hadley they will at least have locat a man who will have to explain aw: several peculiar circumstances whi they say point strongly to his guilt. Mrs. Dixon, the woman with who Hadley lived in this city, has becor rather reluctant to discuss the inform tion which she gave the police and up: which they place considerable dependen in working up their clews. It is general believed by those who are interest the solution of the mystery that she B furnished Captain Seymour with oth | important facts about the missing BExar rer man, which are being withheld f | the present, and that the police ha | cautioned her to retain an absoluté lence as to certain matters concerni Hadley, which they hope will eventyal result in either exonerating him from st | picion or fastening the responsibility f the erime upon his shoulders. The woman is being kept in close touch wi | the police department.
