LONDON MARKET MORE CHEERFUL Financial Writers Pre- dict Continued Im- provement. g Government Bonds Constitute Strongest Feature of Berlin Boerse. LONDON, April 2%.—The effect of the budget on the Stock Exchange was im- mediate and invigorating. The week, which opened with but a slight show of improvement, continued indifferent, every one waiting for Chancellor Ritchie's an- | nouncement. This was received with | cheering on the floor of the exchange, and an activity unknown for a long time im- | mediately commenced, the whole list showing fair advances at yesterday's| close. Without exception writers on| financial subjects, many of whom have | been despondent since the beginning of the year, predict continued improvement and increased confidence. The American section last week re- | sponded to the improved tome of Wall | street. o | Altogether the market is more cheerful | than it has been for some time past. Little attention is paid to political troub- les in the far ¥ BERLIN, April 26.—Although the ap- prehension with regard to the America financ situation has disappeared, Boerse had a dull week, the slight volume of trade resulting in generally low values. The political situation in Macedonia and Morocco begins to be taken into more ! serfous consideration here, because spec- ulative developments in the immediate future are rendered uncertain. Government bonds constituted the | strongest feature of the market last | week. The foreign trade of Germany for the | first three months of this year was as follows: i Imports, $376,500,000; an increase over | the corresponding period of last year of $£32,500,000; exports, $301,250,000; an increase | of $31,250,000. The export of raw sugar to the United States for the three months | was only 1721 tons as against 22,749 tons in | the year 192 and 34,82 tons in 191 | The crop report for all of Germany dat- | ed April 15 shows an average of 3 2-10 | the poorest for the past ten years with | the exception of 1%1.

BISHOPS SPEAK TOLITLE ONES Sunday Schools Hear of Mission Work Among Asiatics. Dr. Lloyd Tells of Big Sums Given by Juveniles of Orient. prelifls RV AN, An exceptional Sunday school mission- Church yesterday afternoon. It was pre- | sided over by Bishop Johnson. There were | | fully 2000 children present, including over | 10) from the Maria Kip Orphanage, all wearing their white English orphan caps | and collars. There was a big array of | distinguished Bishops and clergymen, and | the musical part of the service, under the | direction of Organist W. H. Holt, was | exceptionally impressive. Grace Church choir was augmented by the children’s choir of the Kip Orphan- age, and the processional, “Publish Good Tidings,” was splendidly rendered, as was | the recessional, “‘Stand Up, Stand Up for | Jesus,” by the combined choirs, the vast | congregation of children joining in. The Rev. W. E. Hayes of St. Luke's Church and the Rev. Edward Bradley, curate of Grace Church, conducted the | service and Bishop Johnson introduced | the speakers. The Rev. Dr. A. 8. Lloyd, general sec-| retary of the Board of Missions, New | York, first addressed the juvenile congre- | gation and told in the simplest and most | interesting manner of the work of the missionaries, their life labor and their un- selfish efforts for the gaining of souls | irom the ranks of the heathen to the folds | of the believers in God. He told of the children in Japan, in China, in Africa, and | trained in a Christian. life. Dr. Lloyd, as | ¢id Bishop Funsten, who followed him, | explained how, through contributions | sent the Board of Missions, hospitals weze | erected on the missionary flelds, how sionary preachers, both men and women, ministered far away in the world’s wild- | cst lands to the spiritual needs of heathen | and savage. Both Bishop Funsten and | Dr. Lloyd told of Asiatics ana American | indians, who, through missionary efforts, | kad become students of the gospel and who had been enabled to preach the word | of God to thelr own. Dr. Lloyd also tcld | of the great contribution of $112,000 re- ceived this Easter from chi'drea of Ja- pan, China, Africa and India toward the work in missionary fields. | The speakers were listened to with the most profound attention, and the telling of the winning of the Asiatics and Amer- | dcan Indians to Christianity particularly interested the children. | | SONG SERVICE AT TRINITY. Vast Congregation Listens Intently | to the Great Choir. - Trinity Church was crowded to its ut- most capacity last night when the eighth monthly musical service was given by Trinity’s choir, under the direction of Louis H. Eaton, organist. Rarely has so fine a programme of sacred music been The rector, the Rev. Dr. Clampett, though it was not his intention to make an address, ascended the pulpit at the close of the remarkably fine rendition of | C. H. H. Parry's anthem, “Hear My Words, Ye People” and said that he could not help being impressed with the | effect the sacred songs had had on that | great congregation. | There were two great powers, said Dr. | Clampett—poetry and music. He de- | scribed the poetry in the Book of Job. | the philosophy of human life in the | thoughts of Tennyson, the philosophy of | the soul in the writings of Browning, and | the tragedy, the shadows and the light- | ness of life as depicted by Shakespeare. What was true of poetry, said Dr. Clam- pett, was equally true of music. When | Jesus was resurrected it was the song of | the angels that told it. | There was a difference, he said, between the music of opera, for there, he said, the singer appealed to the audience, but in sacred song the singer speaks to God. He told of the harmony of the sounds of the animals with nature as they browse on the hills and in the meadows and of the | feet.

LITTLE IN SIGHT FOR SPOILSMEN Jacksonian Doctrine Is Sidetracked Under New Regime. Baccus Supplants Elliott on Auditing and Finance Committee. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, April 26 The way in which the affairs of the new city government are being conducted at the City Hall Is astonishing some of the politicians who believe in the good old Jacksonian doctrine, “To the victor belongs the spoils,” that has beem the cardinal principle of so many a hard- As matters stand now there don’t seem to be any spoils. On Saturday Councilman A. H. Elliott of the Second Ward addressed a letter to President George W. Dornin of the City Council asking to be relleved from duty upon the Auditing and Finance Com- mittee and giving as his reason that he had too much work upon other commit- tees. Mr. Elliott was relieved from duty upon that committee and Council- man W. J. Baccus was substituted. This is a rather unusual transaction in city politics, for when a Councilman gets on a committee he generaily likes to hold it, particularly if it is so important a sub-organization as that of auditing and finance. But the reason for ths move is not wholly what Councilman Ellott vould have it appear. It was purely a question of harmony and a desire to pre- vent strife in the legislatiye arm of the municipal administration. Before the new municipal regime had been inaugurated there was a little gath- ering that was composed mostly of the Municipal League members of the new Council. It was the unanimous desire of all that John L. Howard take the con- trol of the Auditing and Finance Commit- tee and the apportioning of the chair- manships began. Cuvelller wanted the head of the Water Committee, which was given him. Meese wanted to head the Street Committee, and as he had had much experience in that divection it was given him. Elliott, the only lawyer in the Council was to head the Judiciary Committee. Pendleton, one of the stanch Municipal Leaguers, was slated for the License Committee. Suddenly it was dis- covered that the leaguers had control of all of the good committees. Most of the appointments, such as the chairman- ships of the Finance, Judiciary, Street and Water committees, were natural selec- tions, because of the line of work of those selected. Then Pendleton an- nounced that he would not take the License Committee, but would satisfy him- self with the Public Improvement Com- mittee, the least important division of the Council, while Alexander McAdam, one of the Republicans, was given the License Committee. After the committees were announced Councilman W. J. Baccus, who is also one of the minority Republicans, found that he was on but few committees, and a mighty kick went up from the Sixth Ward. The result was that Elliott, who found himself upon near.y all of the committees, stepped off of that of Finance and Mr. Baccus got his place. These acts are causing wonder among those who belleve in taking patronage or committees or power wherever they can be captured by force of votes. But the members of the present administration take the ground that they have too lit:le time to consume with such minor matters, in view of the weightier ques- tion of the proposed bond issue and the cleaning up of the city of Oakland. MANAGER ADMAS UPON MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP Chief Engineer of the Contra Costa Water Company to Make Public Address. OAKLAND, April 26.—Arthur L. Adams, chief engineer of the Contra Costa Water Company, is announced to addjess the Men's League of the First Presbyterian Church on Tuesday evening on the very timely topic “Should California Munici- palities Own Their Own Water Works, and it so How Should They Proceed tc Acquire Them?" As the water question is uppermost in the minds of the peopls of Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley just at present and as Mr. Adams is the man ager of a corporation that is so large! interested in this question, his remarks will be an important addition to the con- troversy that is now on. 1 be the first utterance of a rep- ve of the water company as to a of a municipality owning water e Mayor, the Board of Public Works and the City Council have been in- vited to be present to hear the address, and all the Men's Leagues of the city are to receive an invitation.
