Many of the audience remember- ed that Pre ents rison had made addresses from the same e same subject. juet sat the commissioners of General Assembly with as many of their fri s as could be crowded in. The two th of boxes were filled with men and women who are leaders in metropol tan Pyesbyterianism and others interest «d in the meeting.

A choir of 125 voices from the different Presbyterian churches sang the hymn, “Ye Servants of God, Your Master Proclaim,” and the President sang with them. In introducing President Roosevelt Dr. Dodge said that no man krew better than the Presidert the importiance to the nation of the good work of the home missions.

Coming up here to-night 1 made up my mind to speak to you of the manifestations of the spirit of national righteousness, of something that has taken place this day, and something t has happened within ten days; of the jon of this nation which culminated in the eation to-day and in starting a new republic on its course. That has represented four years' work—blunderings and shortcomings in the work, of course, and there were men of little feith’ who only saw the shortcomings and but it represents work triumphantly e have kept every pledge to the letter and ablished a2 new national precedent. I don't another such case—and I have rched for one with care—a case where, as the re: of such a war, the victorious nation has contented itself by starting a new nation, tree on the difficult path of self-government. More anarchy and ruin would have been be- fore the island if we had been satisfled with the victories of war and left its people to shift for themselves. For four years our representa- tives In the island have been representatives largeiy of the army. 1 sometimes hear the attacked, and 1 have even heard mission- attacked. Still when great work is to be in peace or war, it is good to have the to depend upon Our representatives worked to build up the school system, to es- sanitery measures, to preserve order and prepare for the starting of industries, that the mew government might begin with the chances in its favor. Now, as a mation, we bid it Godspeed and we intend to see it bas all the aid we can give it. I trust and believe our pecple in the national Legislature will see to it shortly that they have the advantage of en- tering into peculiarly close relations with our economic system That is one deed consummated to-day.

Million Dollars Loss in Bus- iness Section of Cin- cinnati. CINCINNATI, May 20.—Shortly after 11 o'clock to-day this neighborhood was | stricken by a terrific wind and rain storm, causing the death of six persons and in- | Juring many others, The fury of the storm continued only a half hour, but n that time over $1,000,000 of damage was done in the business section of Cincinnati, and as much more in other parts of the ty and suburbs. The dead are: WILLIE WILLEN, aged 4, drowned in Covington. MEKS. FLACHNER, drowned in Coving- | cf ton. { CLEM DAVIER, teamster, drowned in | Covington. | in_the streets of Cincinnati. FERDINAND RAPP, peddier, drowned in a cellar in Cincinnati, . W. C. BELLEVILLE, carpenter, blown from a roof in Cincinnati. Prior to the unprecedented fall of rain dense clouds were seen to the south and the city became as dark as at night. was afterward learned that there had been a_terrific waterspout on the Lewis- burg hills in the southern suburbs of Cov- ington, Ky., and it moved over the Ken- tucky 'suburbs into this city, passing up the Miami Valley and causing damage as far away es Dayton, Ohio. | While storm damages are reported throughout Kentucky, the worst point | seems to have been in Covington. The | water rolled down the hills in a wa ! twenty feet deep In places and was abo 1100 yards wide. The frame house of E ward Wohrley was carried for a distance | of over four blocks and finally was dashed | to pleces in the Covington ball grounds. The house was occupied by four families | —Henry Willen and wife and four chil- ldren; William Sitmpson and his wife and children; Henry Qualbrink and family. and Mrs. George Flachner. All had nar- | row ¢scapes except Mrs. Flachner and Willie Willen, aged 4 years, who were drowned. Mrs. Willen - and_ her other children were almost drowned. It is believed that Mrs. Flachner, a sis- ter of Mrs. Willen, lost her life in trying to save Willie. lem Davier, who was driving a_team near the flood {n the Ken- tucky suburb, had his wagon overturned by the water and was drowned. The buildings of the Queen City Bathing Club on the river front at Dayton, Ky., 0p- posite Cincinnati, were demolished. All the towns opposite suffered damage from broken windows and houses being unroofed, but the greatest damage on both sides of the river, especially to the business houses in Cincinnati and also In Irvington and Newport, Ky., came from j cellars being suddenly filled with water, | it being impossible for the sewers and gutters to carry the water off. Superintendent Bassler of the United | States Weather Bureau reported the wind | as sixty miles an hour and the rainfall, in less than half an hour, 2.36 inches, the greatest on record here. GOLIAD, Tex., May 20.—With the death to-day of three of the persons .injured |in Sunday’s tornado the total number of | dead is ninety-five. W. J. Purl, Mrs. John | Angerstein and a negro woman died this | afternoon. It is believed .that several more of the injured persons cannot sur- ive. There were many funerals again to- it and the same short service was ob- served as on the preceding days. Fort five negroes have been buried. But little effort is being made to obtain their names. The undertakers are rushed and have not | much time for elaborate details. The cemetery where the white people are buried was wrecked and the new-made graves are among the overturned tomb- stones. EIGHT HOURS A DAY FOR THE PATROLMEN At a meeting of the Police Commission- ers, held last evening, it was decided that eight hours, as provided by the charter and a State law, should constitute a day’s service for patroimen. The order will go into effect June 1. Chief Wittman has heretofore objected to the enforcement of this rule owing to the smallness of the department. The Commissioners, however, hope for an in- crease in the force in the near future. Willlam Lyons, who conducts a saloon at 218 Post street, was granted a renewal of his license without a dissenting voice on the board. An application to revoke dis- | his present license was summarily missed. The case of Patrolman L. L. Levings, | who 1s charged with offering to “square” | a case for $150, was postponed until next Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Levings | pleaded for more time and the commis- | sion granted his request. Levings’ Case Before Grand Jury. The case of Policeman L. L. Levings, charged with having attempted to extort money to “squar ceny agaiust J. P. Crothers, alias Mec- | Williams, came up for hearing yesterday | before the Grand Jury. Chief of Police Wittman testified that | he ordered Levings to charge the defend- | ant after he found out that the officer | had kept the prisoner on the detinue book for several days. that it was an ordinary case, such as | street officers are called upon to prosecute from time to time, and after he ordered | nothing more about it until the night Lev- | ings callgd him out of 'hfi meeting of tha | Police Commissioners and told him that |.Mrs. Darling and-her friends were trying to job him. Chief Wittman further testi- { fied -that at that time he told Levings he would expect him to prosecute the case diligently and that if there was any jou in it it would come out in court. August Augenblick, in whose employ Crothers was at the time of his arrest, testified that Levings came to him and asked him to advise Mrs. “‘square” the case with him for $150, $50 of which amount, he said, was to be paid to_the Judge. J. W. McDonald, one of the men wha were hiding behind the door in Mrs. | Darling’s house when the alleged offer was made, testified that he heard Lev- irgs attempt to extort hush money ‘from Mre. Darling. Mrs. Darling Is Still Sick. When the case of F. W. McWilliams, alias Crothers, charged with grand lar- ceny, was called in Judge Mogan’s court yesterday éx-Judge Low asked for a con- tinuance till Saturday, as Mrs. Elizabeth | 8. Darling. who is to testify regarding the alleged attempt at extortion by Policeman 1. L. Levings, was still very sick. Low sald she would nrobably be able to give her testimony on that day. The continuance was granted on Low's assurance that the case would then be closed. e e S | NEW REGULATION FOR RETURNING CHINESE The Becretary of the Treasury has is- | sued a new regulation governing the ad- mission of Chinese laborers returning fo this country. Heretofore the rule has been that a Chinese laborer in the United States intending to leave this country for a visit to China, with the intention of re- turning, should at least thirty days be- fore departure apply to the Collector of the Port for a certificate entitling him to return. The application for such certifi- cate must state certain facts. The new rile provides that these certificates may be granted upon the bare application, and that_ninety- days prior to the return to the United States the applicant shall no- tify the Collector at the port of returp of such Intention, and his proof of the re- quired fact that he has a lawful wife or child or parent in the United States, or $1000 worth of property here or debts of like amount due him here. This notice beforehand gives the Colleotor sufficient time to investigate before the arrival of the Chinese laborer, so that there will not be any unnecessary delay in his Janding. Under the old rule the investigation was made before the coolle was allowed to leave the United States. & GEORGE BECKER, teamster, drowned | It " a case of grand lar- | Chief Wittman stated | Levings to charge the defendant he heard | Darling to | PACKER FEAR A HARD FIGHT Court Over Beef Trust. Temporary Injunction Is Is- sued by a Judge in Chicago. CHICAGO, - May 20.—The first engage- ment in the open between the United States Government. -and the packers. known as the *‘Big 8ix,” began-at 2 o'clock to-day, when United States District At- torney -Si H. Bethea, before Judge P. S. Grosscup, in the United . States Circuit Court, made a motion for a temporary restraining order. All that has gone be- fore has been but light skirmishing or the laying out of lines of attack and defense. Attorney Bethea had with him Assistant Attcrney General W.. A. Day, Solicitor General J. K. "Richards, United States District Attorney Worthington of Spring- field, 1., and United States District Ai- torney Joseph Keating of Indianapolis. On the other side were arrayed the at- torneys for the packers, headed by John 8. Miller, and comprising Thomas A.| Moran, Louis A. rauthoff, James F. %Eihgher, A. R. Veeder and Henry M. olf. As soon as court was reconvened after | the noon recess Attorney Bethea was | given recognition. He asked the privilege of calling the attention of the court to the case of the United States of America | against Swift & Co. and others, for such | is tne legal title of the now famous suit involving the existence of the alleged beef trust. He read selections from the bill praying for a temporary restraining order and read many affidavits. All of these al- leged the same conditions in fhe meat trade which have been set forth in the bill already published, each taking up some particular phase of the allegations. The general purpose of their presentation was to make out before the court a prima facle case of disobedience and deflance of the so-called Sherman anti-trust law. Bethea gave way to Assistant United States Attorney General Day, who made a brief argument in favor of the evidence for granting the temporary order. Attorney John S. Miller, for the defend- ant packers, 1ead a brief reply, in which he sald that the packers in question do only 40 per cent of the packing business of the country, and this proportion could i not control the entire business. He as- serted that the prices of dressed meats are relatively less than they were at other times. The desire of the packers, he said, was to have a full and impartial trial, and if objection were made at this time to the fiing of the petition and it were tried on ex-parte afdavits this | wouid not be obtained. Solicitor General Richards replied to At- | torney Miller, contending that the two | objections made to the order related to | two powerful weapons of the ‘“combina- | tion or conspiracy of dressed meat deal- | ers.” Assistant United States Attorney General Day spoke to the same effect. Judge Grosscup spoke at length before | giving his decision. He said that the | court would act no differently because | the Government is on one side and vast | business interests on the other. It would move slowly. and deliberately. The al- legations of the bill were reviewed at length, and then the objeotions raised by Attorney Miller to the order were refer- red to. The court was of the opinion that the contention was well grounded, for any arrangement that tended to defeat the “‘deadbeat” was for the advancement of trade. In-.conclusion, he said he did not like the form of the order of injunction submitted by the District Attorney, and i that while he would have to issue it, since no objection was raised by the -de- fendants against its issue, he would draft a new form.

( . NEW ERA DAWNS FOR GARDEN CITY Six Persons Dead as a|Battle Begins in Federal Rout of,Boss_a’sFr‘eeé San Jose From Stigma of Corruption. Entire County Now in Con- trol of the Good Govern-- ment Forces. Special Dispatch to The. Call. SAN JOSE, May .20.—There were. broad smiles on the countenances of “San Joseans to-day, and, while the yell of victory which awoke the city last night because the yoke of bossism had been thrown off was not heard, there was great jubilation of. a less vociferous order, San Jose is preparing to make a new:start, now that the reign of Mackengie is ended. Reports of corruption in municipal affairs for years have hindered the'city and kept thousands of prospective residents away. Throughout the State San.Jose's condi- tion was a byword, and other cities have used . its odium to keep intending settlers from coming here. The advertising done by the Santa Clara County. Improvement Club and kindred organizations to attract investing capital and population has been renderea in a measure futie by the no- toriety its politicians have given the city, Now that the people have crushed Mac- kenzie and his crowd and repudiated the Gage machine, San Jose's ciuzens expect a prosperous -era. Kven to-day there secmed a brightening for the city's good, and every one is confident better times 15 in_store. Yesterday's electlon points to a com- piete victory for the retorm forces in the county election néxt autumn. Four years ago the Republican Good Government League placed a ticket in the fleld and scored a victory. ‘The “gang’ captured the offices of Sheriff and Supervisors ouly. The Good Government - League's great strength lies in the country. Since the last county election the reformers have captured San Jose, and this victory assures them complete control in the fall. Petitions are now being circulated by the league for primaries. throughout the county, and but a few hundred names are lacking of the necessary to compel the Supervisors to issue a call for pri- maries. Heretofore the Mackenzieites have named their delegates to the conven- ons, but with prisaries in the orchard districts Johnnie Mackenzie will not be able to control the nominations for county offices. As it is now, the Board of Super- visors-is against him. - A corrected compilation of the election returns places Worswick’s plurality at 322; Belloll, for City Clerk, has a majorit\ of 93; McGeoghegan, for Treasurer, 250; Matthews, for Couneilman at large, 450 | Murray, for Councilman in. the First Ward, 480, and Hubbard, in.the Fourth ‘Ward, 459, Some of the rounders and roughs. im- ported by the Gageites are “broke” and bave approached the successful candi- dates for transportation to San Francisco. They were all provided with return tick- ets, but so confident were they of Mac- kenzie winning that they sold their tick- ets on arrival here, believing that with vietory the Harbor Commissioner would readily give up money. Since his defeat Mackenzie refuses to see things that way, and unless friends come.forward to their aid they may have to count:the ties be- tween here and home. CLUB MEMBERS ENJOY TALK ON MUNICIPAL ART v 3 The California Club held its last ses- sion yesterday for the summer. The afternoon was in charge of the civic de- partment and the principal feature was an address. by Mrs, Herman Hall of Chi- cago upon ‘‘Municipal Art.” Mrs. Hall figured prominently in- the interesting sessions of the convention at,Los Angeles and is being entertained in this city on her way home. Her original ideas and clever sayings were thoroughly appre- ciated by her audience. Other Eastern delegates were called upon and lent much pleasure to the programme, among them being Mrs. Daniel Sherard of Redlands, formerly of Chicago. An informal recep- tion followed the programme. $ roa e Miss Marion Howard Brazier, editor of the Patriotic Review in Boston, was en- tertained on Mount Tamalpals yesterday by Mrs. Lovell White.

CAPITOLA, May 20.—The convention ef the Young Wemen’s Christian Association | of the Pacific Coast States has attracted more than 250 girls, mostly from the col- | leges and normal schools, but a few also from "the four city associations on the coast, More than twenty different schools and colleges are represented, many of the delegates from Idaho, Washington and Oregon coming at considerabie ex- fense to themselves .and their associa- 10ns. The three secretaries from the East are sent by the American committee, whose headquarters is in Chicago. Miss Harriet Taylor 1s the gcneral secretary. She has supervision over all general business and religious matters. The ~ work of Miss Bertha Conde' lies especially with stu- dents. Miss Mary S. Dunn is a city sec- retary. 2 All the girls here are making the confer- ence an occasion for a general good time, as well as of religious instruction. Bible leaders and secretaries occupy the morn- ing hours, and noted outside speakers ad- dress the meetings in the evening; but the afternoons are devoted to recreation. Yes- terday and to-day maruy went surf bath- ing and played tennis. Many other amuse- ments are already planned, including a drive to the big trces and around Lake Lormhond, and a college day, where -each girl will dress in fancy costume, wear her college colors and display all the trophies and banners that are available. A unique reception occurred this after- noon-in the rotunda room, when the mis- glonaries from seven foreign countries acted as hostesses. Each wore the native costume of the land from which she came, and talked to the iuens about the pe- culiarities of that land's people. First, five girls dressed as natives of India gave a pantomime performance under the di- rection of Mrs. Allen, Then Miss Scroggs gave a short and interesting talk on her experience with the people of Alaska. he outside speakers who have been here so far are Dr. Chapman of Los An- geles, who preached twice on Sunday and again this evening, and Rev, Raymond C. Brooks of the Pilgrim Congregational Church of Oakland, who spoke last night. The girls are entertaining a number faculty ladies from Berkeley and Stan- ford and severai members of different State committees, among them Mrs. W. D, Wood of Seattle, Mrs. C. A. Dolph of Portland and Mrs. John Bley of Los Angeles. ELKS CHARITY FUND BENEFIT SUCCESSFUL Clever Entertainment Draws a Larg2 Crowd to the Lrand Opera- House. The annual benefit for the charity fund of San Francisco Lodge No. 3 of the Order of Elks was held last night at the Grand Opera-house. The best avallable talent from the different theaters took part, and the entertainment attracted one of the largest crowds that has been seen at the Grand Opera-house in some time. Edward Harrigan, supported by his strong company, -opened the programme with the second act of “Old Lavender.” A juvenile ragtime Florodora sextet ap- peared In a rather clever imitation of the real sextet. Julia Heinrich, the beautiful contralto, who recently appeared at the Orpheum, rendered several songs, which were well received. ' -Georgle Cooper, the petite soubrette from the Central Theater, appeared in a vaudeville turn and made a tremendous hit. She rendered a coon song, in which she introduced two cute pickaninnies, much to the amusement of the audience. Charles Williams cameall the way from San Jose to tell some funny stories, which gave his versatility full sway. Mr. Wil- liams was also one of the hits on the bill. Ferris Hartman, Edward Webb and Harry Cashman, the Tivoli stars, cleverly rendered a selection frem “The Singing Girl.” Others on the programme were Lew Sully, Mr. and Mrs. Gardner Crane, Jesse Dale and Francis Graham. ———— McCANN PLEADS GUILTY TO ROBBERY CHARGE Charles Peibenburg Is Acquitted and George Adams Is Convicted of Burglary. John J. McCann pleaded guilty in Judge Cook’s court yesterday to a charge of robbery and was ordered to appear for sentence on May 24, when Harry J.

Spectacles more exciting ¢r more truly beautiful than that furnished last night by the grand carnival at the Irish Fair have seldom, if ever, been witnessed in this city. From its commencement the festival has been marked by many scenes that were Indeed -spectacular, but the coronation ceremony and the triumphal precession last night capped the climax. | The public evidently anticipated that the carnival would result in an extraordinary scene, as Mechanics’ Pavilion was crowd- ed to its utmost. The evening's programme was delight- fuily inaugurated when 500 Woodmen of the World, headed by a band-of fifteen pieces and by a number of members with their axes and in full ostume, marched | into the hall. When the Woodmen en-| tered, the Pavilion was crowded, but room was made for them and they parad- ed once around the building. The special feature of the evening and the event which the people had turned out in such a vast crowd to witness was the crowning of Miss Rita Curtis queen of the Irish. Fair Carnival. This cere- mony was performed on a platform sit- uated in the center of the floor of the Pavilion. n ‘When Queen Rita ascended her throne, which was placed just beneath an im- mense Irish flag, Mayor Schmitz in a| gracious speech, in which he extolled the | achievements of the Irish people, pre- serted the keys. of the fair to Michael Casey, the prime minister. That officlal thereupon transferred them to her ma- jesty. Queen Rita was gowned in regal robes made of white brocaded satin, trimmed in gold, and an ermine cape. She made a very graceful queen, to whom it was a pleasure to acknowledge allegiance. The little flower girls were dressed in white and the pages in pink. Queen Rita’s court was graced by the following maids of honor: Miss Agnes Kendrick of Academy booth, Miss Tessie O’Connor of Sligo, Miss Helen Glin- den of Kilkenny, Miss Kathryn Flynn of Gal- way, Miss Hannah Murphy of Kerry and Miss Philomena Cull of Limerick. Carmelita Smith and Peter Norton were ages and little Misses May and Aileen trley were the flower girls.

The procession stopped at Cork booth, where a reception | was held in honor. of Queen Rita, who was elected from that booth.
