York Socialists.
New YORK, March 9th.-A committee of
the Socialistic Labor party, consisting of
Editor Sergius, E. Shevitch, E. Goldsmith
and L. Groenlund, called on Mayor Hewitt
yesterday, and said the proprietor of the
Roumania Opera House, in the Bowery,
after contracting to produce new Social
istic play called The Tables Turned" was
now afraid to do so, lest he might be re-
fused a renewal of his license next year.
The Mayor said to the committee: " If the
play to be produced is immoral and in
decent, suppose the police will interfere
and stop it, and l might refuse to give a
license to the proprietor OF the place next
year; but if it is simply intended to ex-
hibit certain Socialistic doctrines or tend
encies, have nothing to do with it. You
may teach what intellectual dogmas you
please"
Shevitch replied "You can have box
and see the play" The Mayor said, "No,
thank you; l have too much to do else
where. You have right to present your
socialistic ideas. 1t is said that / agree
with you in some particulars of political
economy, and, if SO, | AM glad we go to.

give play teaching the belief that
there is no God. You can found

inc on that bel eff. You have right
to such thoughts as do not oppose the ad-
ministratlon of the law. The police have
nothing to do, either as judges of facts or as
public servants, with the question of mo-
rality in play. | would not take the un-
supported judgment of the police as to the
morality or as to the illegality of play"

WASHINGTON. March 9th.-Several men,
bers of the California delegation appeared
before the House Committee on Rivers and
Harbors this morning, and urged increased
appropriations for the State McKenna
made strong appeal for $500, 900 for Oak
land harbor. He pointed out the necessity
for commencing this improvement and
pushing it as rapidly as possible. He al
luded to the growing commerce of San
Francisco bay and urged the committee to
pursue liberal policy toward the Pacific
coast. The amount asked for by McKenna
is the full amount of the engineers esti-
mate.
He was told by Blanchard, Chairman of
the committee. that if it reported bills con-
tanning the full amount of the engineers
estimates 1t would involve the expenditure c
OF over ten million dollars. The commit
tee, he said, wanted to vote the full amount
on necessary works, and give nothing to
unnecessary improvements. Mckenna said
he hoped the committee would decide that
Oakland was necessary work.
Mr.. Biges asked that an appropriation
of $4,000 be made for the San Joaquin
river $1,000 for the Mokelumne river, and
an increase of appropriations for the Sacra-
mento and Feather rivers. He was in
formed that $4,000 was all that could be
appropriated for the San Joaquin.
General Vandever made a strong appeal
for large appropriations for San Diego,
Wilmington and other southern harbors.

Two Tarry Veterans Who Object to Bury
ing the Hatchet.

ing the Hatchet
Copyright. 1888, by the California associated Press
WASHINGTON, March 9th.-The COL
troyersy between Rear Admiral Braine and
Captain Breese, is likely to culminate in
an official investigation. Several weeks
ago the mail from the South Atlantic
squadron brought letters from both officers
named, in which they charge each other
with conduct unbecoming an officer and
gentleman, and other court-martial offenses
under the existing naval regulations. A
court of inquiry will undoubtedly be de-
tailed to make investigation and report who
is at fault and whether there is any neces-
sity for a court-martial.
An explanation of the difficulty is given
by an old officer which is at least plausi-
BILE one: " Captain Breese is the senior OF
Read Admiral Braine, so far as entry into
the service is concerned, but during the late
war the former was Jumped in rank by
the latter, and therefore the younger ranks
the elder. This occasioned no trouble until
1t was, perhaps, unwisely determined to
place these officers on the same station
one in command, and the other as Flag
Captain. They failed to agree from the
start and matters on the South Atlantic be-
came most interesting in consequence.
The breach widened and finally Captain
Breese requested sick leave and returned

The officers of the Navy Department say
it is impossible to determine from the cor
respondence which of the officers is in the
wrong.

FATHER GUALCO.

He Is About to Leave the Position of
Moral Instructor at Folsom Prison.
EDS. RECORD UNION; The prisoners in
Folsom, or at least such of their number as
are religiously disposed, are shortly to ex-
perience loss in the removal from their
midst of Father Gualco who, for the past
two years has been moral instructor to the
institution. For fourteen months previous
to the time he was appointed moral in
structor TO the penitentiary, he was un-
officially but closely connected with it
having been induced by the spiritual needs
OF the prisoners TO volunteer his services
without obtaining any recognition of
them in the way of gratuity or compensa-
ton. After the death of Mr.. Cauley, the
Board of Directors could do no more than
offer the vacancy created by that gentle
man S decease, 10 Father Gualco who for
over year had devoted his time and serv-
ices to ministering among the prisoners
without receiving the slightest remunera-
ton in return for them.
Races and creeds are so variouslv repre-
sented among the prisoners at Folsom,
that the office of being moral instructor to

is no easy one to discharge Speaking five

who gained ediication from the Fathers
exhortations without subscribing to his
creed. Among the adherents to the Cath
olic faith the father exercised deep infu-
ence, and bereavement is the only word
which fittlngly expresses the feelings of his
flock, from whose pastorship the father is
to be taken. Father Gualco was essentially
broad churchman, and the professor of
wide-hearted christianity which sought to
reconcile all differences of sect, by insisting
on the catholicitv of the truths which each
possessed in common with the others.
During the latter part of his ministration
Father Gualco was the organizer of band,
and devoted d great deal of his time to fos-
tering the musical taste of the members of
the prison choir. Beloved by the men,
bers of his flock, and reverenced by those
who, from dislike to or non-agreement
with the Catholic faith, had never set foot
in his chapel, Father Gualco's presence
will long be missed in the halls and corri-
dors of the prison, where his ample figure
ano Napoleonic linaments were SO often en-
countered. That his place will readily be
filled it is too much to hope, for even
among the self-sacrifcing sons of the church
there are few possessing such linguistic and
theological attainments. OF him, like
many another of the self-sacrifcing ex-
emplars of Christianity, it may be said that
when the ear heard him it rejoiced and
when the eye saw him it blessed him, be-
cause he delivered the poor and needy and
him that had none to help him"

Secretary of State Meriscal, with regret,
that it is not in the Presidents power to
comply, as the Constitution forbids the
President TO leave the soil of the republic
during his term of office. This provision
kept Benito JuareZ at Paso Del Norte dur

the offer of the United States, preferring to
remain on Mexican soil in a small adobe

President Diaz TO meet aud shake hands

THE IMPERIAL SUCCESSION.
How the Imperial Succession Belongs to
the Prussian Dynasty.

the Irussiau Dynas'y.
In 1871 the Princes of the several Ger.
man States assembled, and by their volun-
tary act conferred ON King William, who
was prior to that event, simply King oi
Prussia, the title of Emperor of Germany
giving up to him certain powers which be-
longed to them severally within their re-
spective dominions. Among these powers
or offices, the principal were the command
of the army, the Customs Revenue Depart
ment, the telegraph, foreign representation,
ard, except as to Bavaria and Wurtemberg
the postal service. The Act creating the
Imperial dignity made it inseparable from
the crown of Prussia, so that whoever is
King of Prussia must also be Emperor oi
Germany and vice versa.
1t is an old Prussian law that if tine
King shall at any time be officially declared
afflicted with an incurable malady, or inca
pable of performing the functions of his Of
fee, Regent shall be appointed to act until
his successor is entitled TO take the throne.
Thus, when Frederick William ". became
insane his brother, the present King and
Emperor, was appointed Regent, and, be-
ing the next in succession, upon the death
of the former became King The Imperial
office created in 1871 being inseparable
from the crown of Prussia, is also subject
to the same conditions.
When the sovereign or Crown Prince is
supposed to be afflicted with malady sup
posed to be incurable, commission OF
physicians is appointed by the Reischstae
and Bundestag to examine the patient and
report on the character of his disease. Il
they pronounce him incurable, an official
declaration is made to that effect and a Re.
gent is appointed.
The physicians appointed by the Prussiau
Government have given their written opin
ion TO the Government that the malady o.
the Crown Prince Frederick William (Unzel
Fritz is incurable, and the document ha;
been filed in the archives, but no officia
declaration has been made.
As this was not done before the death o
