The Grand Commandery of California, Knights Templar, after a two days’ ses- | sion closed its labors yesterday afternoon | and adjourned, after the installation of the officers appointed at the previous ses- | sion. There was a great deal of business transacted, which is of interest only to the members of the fraternity, but there was adopted one measure that will here- after put a different aspect on the ban- quets that are to be given by Knights | Templar organizations, and it Is in line with legislation on the same subject by Grand Commanderies in the East. It is that in future at no banquet or func- tion given in the name of Knight Tem- plarism shall there be served any malt, vinous or spirituous liquors. This puts a stop to the use of cham- | pagne at any functions, which in the past has been one of the features at all ban- quets. Hereafter it will have to be min- eral waters, coffee, tea or chocolate. Some of the Knights when they heard of the enactment of this law of the grand body expressed the hope that at the next ses- sion the new law would be repealed. Cr——E P P— James O. Putnam.

He was succeeded in 18% as Bishop by Arnold Schultheiss, a Swiss | aturalized in Utah, who directed 100 missionaries. Hugh J. Cannon replaced him in 190 and the latter has steadily in- creased the number of Mormon preachers and has nearly doubied the membership, which is now 1800. When a Mormon arrived in a German village he would rent a ball and begin to preach and tne common result was that the local pastors would complain to the police, who not infrequently ordered the missionary to leave. The latter would then telegraph to the Bishor in Berlin, who, through the United States Embassy, | would obtain a suspension of the police | order indefinitely or its cancellation. The Foreign Office, owing to the number of cases pending, took up the subject with the view of settling the status of the Mormons for good instead of being both- ered by numerous individual cases. The result has been the decisions of Prussia and Mecklenburg to expe! the Mormons, | which course Is likely to be followed by Saxony, where there are twenty-five mis- sionaries, and by other states. Bavaria some time ago decreed the expulsion of Mormons and they quietly left without making a stir or attracting discussion. L 2 o . FATHER VATTMANN 10 VISIT ROME Will Report Results of Philippine Church Investigation. WASHINGTON, April 24 — Secretary Root and Rey. BEdward J. Vattmann, chaplain of the Twenty-ninth Infantry, had an important conference to-day con- cerning affairs in the Philippines. Whiie both parties to the conference were reti- cent as to details, it is known that it re- lated to the friar question and to the at- titude of the Catholic Church toward the “Americanizing” of the islands. Chap- lain Vattmann has been granted by the ‘War Department a leave of absence for six months, with permission to visit Eu- rope. He left to-day for Fort Sheridan, Chicago, and will sail for Europe May 9. Before his return to the Philippines he will confer with the authorities of the Catholic Church at Rome, More than a year ago, with the knowi- edge and consent of this Government, Chaplain Vattmann was directed by the authorities of the Catholic church in the United States to make a thorough inves- tigation of church questions in the Phil- Governments | he Government of Prussia defines the | | | | | PROMINENT CADET OFFI- CERS WHO SHONE AT THE MILITARY BALL. | |3 = o+ | Exclusively for Decorations. | TRKELEY, April 24.—The military | { B ball this evening at Hearst Hall | was all the success that the stu- dent soldfers intended that it | | should be.

This report was submit- ted to the Archbishops at their annual | meeting yesterday. 'As indicated by the | Assoctated Press last night, the Philip- | pine question was discussed fully by the Archbishops, practically to the exclusion of other matters. The report of Chap- lain Vattmann was not made public and may not be for some time. Those cog- nizant of its contents manifest reticence in discussing it. It is known, however, that it covers ex- haustively all phases of Catholic church questions in the Philippines, including the friar question and the result of what is popularly known as the “Aglipay move- ment.” The latter Is not a new question to the authorities of the Catholic church either in the United States or at Rome. Aglipay is an insurgent priest who prac- tlcally has renounced the authority of the church of Rome and has organized what he terms the “Philippine Catholic church.” He has gained a large and in some places an influential following among the Filipinos. Chaplain Vattmann reports that while he does not incite open rebellion, Aglipay and his followers are not only opposing the authority 'of the Roman church, but also are opposing thy establishment of American rule in the Philippines.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, | 1118 Broadway, April 22. | Under the pressure of a warrant for his | arrest, Dr. Herbert L. Stonecifer, a young | dentist of this city, to-day wedded Miss Nellie L. Newman of San Francisco, who vesterday swore to a complaint charging Stonecifer with failing to keep his prom- ise to wed her and thereby basely deceiv- ing her. Detectives had been on the trail of the | dentist, but, forewarned, the young man had quletly dropped out of sight and had remained buried pending conferences with | his attorneys, who were numerous about | the City Hall this morning. They assured | the police that their client would be only | too ready to surrender himself into cus- | tody, but he desired time in which to ar- range a bond. Upon that assurance, the detectives | waited until afternoon, The dentist failed | to put in an appearance at the City Pris- on, so the pursuit was renewed. It sud- denly ceased this evening, when Attorney Samuel Rosenheim, representing the com- plaining young woman, sent word to police headquarters that his client and | Dr. Stonecifer had been married in San | Francisco to-night and that to-morrow Mrs.” Stonecifer would withdraw the war- rant of arrest and the complaint to which she had made oath. It was because of a visit that the young woman, her mother and attorney made at the dentist’s offices yesterday noon that he was warned of the shortly forthcoming warrant. Insisting that she would cause his arrest, after Stonecifer’s positive re- fusal to wed Miss Newman, the mother departed with her daughter and lawyer and made good her threat. After hastily arranging his office af- | fairs, acting upon the advice of a friend, | Dr. Stonecifer headed for his own attor- neys in San Francisco and then retired | into seclusion to await developments. | Despite the announcement of the mac- rlage Detective Quigley arrested Stone- | cifer to-night, meeting the young man at Eleventh street and Broadway The dentist corroborated Attorney Rosenheim, | saying “Miss Newman and myself wer married this afternoon in San Francisco.” Stonecifer produced as evidence a release signed by his bride absolving him from all obligations to her in consideration of | the payment of $.. Though the police did not discredit the story of the marriage they held Stonecifer at the City Prison pending absolute verification. | Marriage Licenses.

The Government troops feated. The Clyde steamer Cherokee, from New York April 1, entered the port yesterday, discharged her cargo and left mediate- ly on account of the danger of being fired at inside the river. The revolutionary warship Independ- encia left here for Monte Christi, having on board General Nevarro and a large quantity of arms and ammunition, des- tined for the rebel forces. A severe attack was made on this city by President Vasquez's troops on Sunday night. The fighting lasted until Monday morning. The village of San Carlos, out- side the city, caught fire during the en- gagement. The Government troops were unable to force an entrance into San Do- mingo. The firing was continued Monday morn- ing. The situation is getting worse, owing to the scarcity of provisions. Several unsuccessful attempts have been made by the diplomatic crops and con- sular officers to bring about a settlement. The present situation is therefore likely to continue for some time. Business is at a standstill. Mine Owners Stand by Compact.
