All the expenses of the Califor- nia team have been guaranteed. Games are scheduled with the Victoria aseball nine at Victoria, B.

PLEDGE Says the English Govern- ment Will Guard Ship- ping Interests. Noted Leader Thinks People Are Needlessly Alarmed Over Syndicate. LONDON, May 1.—An attempt was made in the House of Commons to-day to get the Government to pledge itself to prevent the transfer of British, steam- ships to a foreign flag pending the report | the Admiralty to inquire into the subject. The Government leader, A. J. Balfour, pointed out that a suggestion of such a startling character could not be carried out without the gravest consideration. 1t simply amounted to a proposal that the Government should prevent a British No doubt the matter referred to was very serious, but such a drastic change in established practice could not be undertaken lightly. After the president of the Board of Trade, Gerald Balfour, had informed the House of Commons this afternoon that he had been confidentially informed of the terms of the proposed trans-Atlantic com- bine, which aid not necessarily involve a change’in the nationality of the ships, and the Government leader, A. J. Balfour, had announced that the officials of the White Star Line did not appear to have violated- their contract witn the British Admiralty, Russell Rea (Radical), a ship- owner and merchant, movad the adjourn- ment of the House in order to discuss the maiter, which was of general importance. After considerable discussion Rea's mb- tion was withdrawn. A COMPLICATED PROBLEM. A few members having spoken of the very great anxiety experienced through- i out the country € a result of the forma- tion of a combination of such strengti ard character as the American shippmg syndicate, A. J. Balfour expressed the hepe that the debate would be closed. He quite appreciated the importance of the subject and the desire of the members to discuss it, but no useful purpose could be served by a debate now. The Govern- ment. had been privately informed re- garding the actions of private individuals and it was giving the matter anxious con- sideration. If it disclosed this informa- tion it would shut the door to further conferences. The Government would be bound to make such ‘arrangements with regard to the navy as the proposed changes might necessitate; but, regard- ing the effect of the combination’ on mari- time interests and what should be done to meet it, no announcement of its policy could be made except atter prolonged and anxious consideration of the complicated problem. Under the present arranges- ments the subsidized ships remain in the service of the Admiralty for another two years, and the Government would much blamable if in the interim it could not either negotiate a continuance of the make others equally serviceable to the Admiralty and the country. Meanwhile, the Govern- ment did not propose on the spur of the moment to announce any departure from the traditional policy of not interfering with the freedom of commerce. The Min- isters would be charlatans if they did anything of the kind. It was necessary to most carefully and thoroughly sift the whole matter from a commercial point of view. It must be remembered that this was not a commercial enterprise engineered, by'a foreign and hostile Government, but a trade combination. Those who thought this combination s0'menaced the com- merce of this country that the Govern- ment " sh whether they liked it or not. that the doc- srlne of individual enterprise had broken own. » FEARS AMERICAN TRUST. James Bryce (Liberal), former president of the Board of Trade, advocated the withdrawal of the motion, but urged the Government to make a prompt inquiry into_the subject. Other speakers held that the arrange- ment was in no way unpatriotic. It was an alliance, not annexation by the Amer- icans. The companies had simply made a reasonable and business-llke combina- tion. (Liberal) dis- Sir James Woodhouse claimed all antipathy to or ill-feeling for Americans; but, he asserted, British mari- time and mercantile interests were menaced by the Amerlcans, who had al- ready captured the British shoe and steel industries, and he wanted the Government to take action in order to stem the tide. The remarks of Rear. Admiral Lord Charles Beresford (Conservative) rather sided with those who .thought the Amer- ican invasion spelled ruin to Britishers. He said he feared the american trust would use this combination to pour Amer- lean produce into this éountry, to the dis- advantage of the producers here, and that there would be a general disruption of the whole trade and commerce of Great Brit- ain.. Lord Beresford advocated subsidiz- ing steamers on the Canadian route. —_— BIG CROWDS DELIGHT IN PAINTERS’ EXHIBITION California Society of Artists Decide to Keep Open Gallery Many More Days.

Dr. Olmstead Is Con- secrated an Episco- pal Bishop. Unusual Pomp and Splendor Attend the Impressive Servicss. DENVER, May 1L—Rev. Dr. Charles S. Olmstead, formerly of Pennsylvania, was consecrated as Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Colorado at St. John's Cathe- dral in this city to-day, succeeding the late Bishop John-F. Spalding. The large edifice was crowded and more than half of “those who desired to attend the ser- vices were unable to gain admission to the church. The services, which were at- tended by unusual pomp and splendor, be- gan at 10 o'clock this morning and were not concluded until nearly 1 p. m. The cathedral was magnificently decorated. An orchestra of twenty-five pleces and a choir of thirty-five voices furnished the music. 3 The order of the bishops a they pro- eded down the main aisle' in solemn .march was as follows, according to re- verse precedent of consecration, the last consecrated being first and the oldest in othice being last: Rev. Charles S. Olmstead, Bishop-elect; Right Rev. Frederick Willlam Taylor, D.D., Bishop_ of ‘Quincy, 1il., and one of the pre senters} Right Rev. Arthur L. Willlams, D.D., Bishcp coadjutor of Nebraska, Omaha; Right Rev. Ablel Leonard, ., Bishop of Salt Lake; Right Rev. Anson R. Graves, D.D., Bishop of Wyoming, Laramie; Right Rev. John H. White, D.D., Bishop of Michigan City, Ind., one of the presenters; Right Rev. Edward K. Atwill, D. D., Bishop of Kansas City; Right Rev. James §. Johnstone, D.D., _Bishop of Western Texas, San Antonio; Right Rev. Leighton Coleman, D.D., Bishop qf Delaware, preacher of the ‘consecration, sermon; Right Rev. Daniel S. Tuttle, D.D., Bishop of Mis- souri, St. Louis, who will be the presiding prelate, PROMISE OF CONFORMITY. After prayer and a hymn, Rev. John H. Houghton of this city, master of cere- monies, recited the creed, which was re- sponded to by the entire congregation. Bishop Leighton Coleman of Delaware then delivered an interesting and impres- stve sermon in a masterful manner. After further selections by the orches- tra and choir, Bishop John M. White of Michigan City and Krederick W. Taylor of Quincy, Iil, clad in their Episcopal robes, advanced to Bishop-elect Olmstead. He arose and with bowed. head was escorted to the center of the altar, where stood Bishops William H. Hare of South Dakota and Abiel Leonard of Salt Lake, the commission appointed to consecrate. The five formed a cross, as it were, while the testimonials of the Bishop-elect were read. Then came his promise of con- formity, one of the most solemn promises in the ritual of the church. Scarcely a sound could be .heard in the church ex- cept the voice of the Bishop-elect as he made the responses. The bidding to prayer was by Presiding Bishop Tuttle. It was a pretty ceremony and the ‘entire congregation took part. The litany services followed. Next came the examination of the Bishop-elect. This ‘was merely a matter of form to conform with the ancient rules of the church, for during modern times it has been the cus- tom to ascertain all the qualifications of a candidate for the office before he is pre- sented, for consecration. The most im- portant part of the ceremonies, the robing of the new Bishop, was very impressive. As the committee on consecration said the words that made him a prince of the church, the work of robing him began. He was invested with the purple and red of his office with much ceremony, while the choir sang an anthem from sendels- sohn. 'BISHOP HOLDS RECEPTION. After prayer and communion service Bishop Olmstead gave the benediction and the services were over. Early in the morning holy communion was celebrated at the cathedral and all the Episcopal churches in the city, with sgeclnl rayers for the Bishop-elect and the welfare of the diocese. The presbyters attending the new Bishop during the ‘ceremonies were James Olmstead of Burlington, N. J.. and Rev. Frank B. Reagor of Urange, N. J. brother and brother-in-law respectively of the Bishop. Bishop and Mrs. Olmstead held a recep- tion at the Brown Palace Hotel from 4:30 to 6 p. m.

NAPA, May 1.—This evening. under the auspices of Napa ladies, a three day®’ carnival opened in the East Napa pavil- ion. This fiesta is for the purpose of rais- ing funds in aid of the Eagle Cycling Club of Napa, the proceeds to go toward furnishing new club rooms in the build- (r;gbrecenlly erected by members of the ub. For three weeks the ladies in charge have been devoting much time to mak- ing preparations for the carnival, and it will be the most successful one ever giv- en in Napa. The business men are tak- ing a great deal of interest in the affair and each house will be represented. By popular vote Elvina Amstutz was select- ed by the school children as the Mayday Queen. and with her assistants, had fuil sway at the carnival to-night. Her malds of honor were Lizzie Rossi and Zora Wilson. The crown bearer was Edna Parker, and Johnny Even and Hareid Hoerule were the pages. All were quaint- ly_attired and were loudly applauded. Miss Mae McDermott will be queen of the carnival, having been selected by vote of the ‘people.

On Saturday evening King Carnival will hold high jinks, when the fiesta closes. George D. Secord, one of Napa's city officlals, has been selected for the role of Rex, and when he is crowned king and assumes charge of the closing events of the even- ing, the king and his many attendants will make things merry for all. —_— SANTOS DUMONT MAKES A REMARKABLE STATEMENT If Given Necessary Backing He Will Build an Airship to Cross the Ocean. NEW YORK, May 1—“If any one will give me $1,000,000 to defray the cost of building 1 will construct an airship that will cross the ocean in two days and have a carrying capacity of one hundred pas- sengers."” Such was the remarkable statement which M. Santos Dumont made to-day just before embarking for Havre by the French line steamship Savoie. “1 am sorry.” the acronaut added, “that 1 have not been able to show my machine to the public. Had § been able to do so, 1 am sure such an exhibition would have interested capital in the building of flying machines. That is the way the aute- mobile was brought out. One was built and publicly exhibited in Paris. As a result many persons became interested, new ideas and improvements followed, and to-day we see automobiles almost e;;zrywhere. And in time we will air- shups. “About Lord Kelvin's statement that my invention can never be of any prae- | tical use, all I have to say is that Lord Kelvin is not an authority on aerial navi- gation. I admire him very much, but his opinions on a subject which he has never studied can carry no weight. “In contradiction to his view is the di- rect statement of another scientist, | Thomas A. Fdison, who recently told me that in his opinion I had solved the air- ship problem. Edison further said he would himself have attempted the con- struction of airships were it not for the unfairness of the American patent laws which allow any one to steal another's invention. By that he explained that no matter how small may be an improve- ment on an_ invention any outsider who introduces the new idea may claim the whole patent.” —_—— Mining Company Is Enjoined.
