JAMES LlCK'S REMAINS.
Statement From Professor Holden Regard
Ing UnfOundtd RumOrS.

MOUNT HAMILTON, Sept. 24.-Referring
to the rumors that the remains of Mr.. Lick
were to be removed from their present rest
lowing statement;
so far as [ know it is not now pro-
posed nor has it ever been proposed by
any person to remove the remains of
the generous founder of this observa-
tory from the tomb in which they now
rest. No such proposal or suggestion has
come from any person at Mount Hamilton,
and so far as l know no such proposal
has been made by the Regents of the Uni
versity. 1t is, however, intended by the Re-
gents to eXpend large sum of money in
making the external surroundings OF Mr..
Lick's tomb such as 10 convey an idea
of the respect due to his memory.
When the University took possession
of the observatory, the surroundings of this
tomb were lacking in dignity and even in
decency. 1t is now proposed to eXpend
considerable sum of money In covering the
tomb with white marble tiling, in making
white marble platform about it, in incIosing
this platform with handsome railing, in
covering the unsightly water-pipeS from view
and III isolating the machinery from the i'm.
mediate surroundings of the tomb itself. In
this way it is intended to honor the memory
OF MIR. Lick, and to make his tomb eXter-
naly what il is in idea, that is, a monu-
ment as no old time Pharoah could have
imagined or commanded | submit that
those engaged in this work deserve the
hearty support of all Californions, and l
hope that this note will set at rest any un-
founded rumors regarding this matter
Very respectfully, EDWARD S. HOLDEN.

FREMONT'S FAMILY.
Banker HelImnn Chosen Treasurer Of I'll =
Prnnnsed Relief Fund.

Banker Hel1man Chosen Treasurer OF thr
Proposed Relief Fund.
In view of the fact that both the Pioneers
and Native Sons have decided that the relief
of General Fremont's widow and daughter
must be effected by individual effort the
movement has assumed a broader scope than
was originally intended. /. w. Hellman,
President of the Nevada Bank, has been
chosen the treasurer of the proposed fund.
and it is hoped that patriotic Califernlans
will testify their estimation OF the ga!lanc
deeds and services of the dead soldier by
providing literally out of their abundance
for the "Pathfnder's" family.
Judge Silent of Los Angeles is still here
enlisting public favor in behalf of the deSti-
tute ladies. In recent conversation with
reporter he referred to facts which had been
overlooked in the published accounts, and
which put new phase upon the situation of
the family. From his statements it appears
that Fremont was at one time owner of con-
siderable land around Black Point, which
the Government condemned formlitary pur-
poses, but while the adjoining owners we're
all properly indemnifed, General Fremont
never had settlement.
In addition to this the General Government
has owed him since 1850 Il sum of $500,
which it refused to pay on the alleged
ground that he misapprOpriated certain
funds. This charge fingered for years and
was never thoroughly investigated, until
Fremont himself demanded that it should
be, Immediately prior to his being put on the
retired list. When his ac, cunts were then
settled up, his integrity was completely Yindf-
Gated and the balance of $500 acknowledged
to be due him, but neither it nor the interest
has yet been paid.
A Pioneer truly remarked in an interview
yesterday that General Fremont was in
every sense of the word public servant.
His whole life was devoted to the interests
of his country. His duties as public man
gave him no time to make material provis-
ions for the future, and the character of his
service untitled him for the pursuits which
have money getting for an object. In conse-
Queuce he died poor.
This poverty, which is the result of faith
full public service, is as worthy of relief at
the hands of the people as was that of the
Grant and Garfield families, for if he had
been less faithful to his trusts there would
have been no need for this appeal for the
helm of his family

DYNAMITE PLOTS.
Startling Disclosures Made by
DaVitt'S Organ.
Proof That They Were Part Of Con-
SpiTaCy by The Government.
James MGDeTmOtt Charged With Having
Been Regularly in The Pay Of
British Authorities.
Special Dispatches to THE MORNING CALL

LONDON, Sept. 24.-Mlchael Davitt will
begin in the Labor World tomorrow a re-
markable series of disclosures to the effect
chat the fabrication of political events that
began with the dynamite explosions at
the House of Parliament, the Nelson
column in Trafalgar square and the
underground railway, some years
ago, and ended with the Parnell
commission, was the result of deep laid
consl Tracy on the part Of the Government
to connect Parnell with these outrages and
so destroy him and his movement together.
Davitt goes to the root Of the matter. Pro-
ceeding to divulge the secret of the dyna-
mite conspiracy he showed that it was only
after the hiring Of James MrDermott that
the dynamite campaign really began.
He SAYS: I've shall establish by ind is
putable evidence all the charges we now
make; namely. that James MeDermott of
Brooklyn organized the dynamite plot in
Cork and Liverpool in the year 1888, by the
aid of money furnished to him by the British
Consul-General and officials in Dublin Cas-
tie; that McDermott supplied the dynamite to
his dupes. Featherstone, Deasy and others,
and then betrayed them to the police, using
the dynamite in their possession as proof OF
Their guilt; that McDermott, by his
own confession and over his own signature.
admitted that he was cognizant of and
a party to the dynamite outrage which
occurred in London; that French, the head
of the Irish constabulary and detectives,
was involved with McDermott in the dyna-
mite schemes in Ireland, and that McDer-
mott was sent 10 Montreal in 1888 with the
knowledge and consent of the British Con-
sui to organ ize a dynamite plot in that city.
We will undertake 10 make good each
and all OF these charges on oath, by wit
neSSes who shall be examined before any
tribunal or committee of investigation the
Home Secretary may select for that pur-
pose.
THE IRISH CAUSE,
It is understood that Parnel will shortly
call a convention of Irish Nationalist. Par
nell has finally decided that it would be un-
wise TO send any one to America in place of
OBIien and Dillon, as they will be able to
carry out the original plan in any event.
DUBLIN, Sept. 24.-Patrick O'Brien, who
was arrested yesterday, is suffering from

SALT LAKE, Sept. 24.-President Wood
ruff of the Mormon Church to-day issued a
manifesto in which, referring to the state
ment in the report of the Utah Commis-
sion, that plural marriages have been
solemnized during the past year,
and that the leaders of the church
have encouraged continuance of
polygamy, he enters sweeping denial that
such things have occurred. President Wood
ruff further says that inasmuch as the
law forbidding polygamy has been pro-
nouneed constitutional by the court
of last resort, he hereby declares his
intention to submit to those laws and use
his influence with the members of the church
TO have them do likewise. There was moth
ing in his teachings to the church, or in the
teachings of his associates during the time
specified, which can reasonably be con-
strued to inculcats or encourage pOlygamy,
and when any elder has used language
which appeared to convey such teachings, he
has been promptly reproved. The manifesto
concludes: II now publicly declare that my
advice to the Latter Day Saints is to refrain
from contracting any marriage forbidden by
the law OF the land

A DEMOCRATIC PLOT.
The Tariff Bill TO Be Used to Kaep Congress

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Some of the

election cases. Their present plan is to de-
tail thirty-fve men who represent districts
that are irredeemably OF safely Democratic.
These thirty-ive men will remain in the
House all the time, to demand the ayes and
noes on every possible pretense. Their
purpose is to force the Republicans 10
keep a quorum here. TIE advantage
they hope to gain is that there are
quite a number of Republican close
districts, and so close that they can
scarcely be carried unless the can
didate himself is actively in the field,
and to keep him here in WashingtDn to
make quorum doubles his chances of de-
feat. Only such Democrats are to be left
here whose districts are unquestiouably
safe, so that doubtful districts can be car-
ried by those who 90 away. 1t is a very
retty plan and the Democrats will decide
soon whether to adopt it or not. As mat
ter of fact. most Of them would rather let
the Tariff Bill 90 through and adjourn.

A Strike in the Yards Of the Union Pacific at

Denver.
DENVER, Sept. 24.-For some time the
Union Pacific at this point has been having
trouble with the switchmen and the block
ade in the yards has been matter of seri-
Gus detriment. 1t is asserted that one Of
the chief difficulties has been disposition
on the part of the switchmen to keep the
yards blockaded in order to exact "tips"
from shippers. Several days ago the
Switchmen's Grievance Committee de-
manded the removal of Assistant Superin-
tendent Burns, making several chars ges
against him. Burns was suspended pending
an investigation. but the charges being
disproved, General Superintendent Meek
to-day reinstated him. He notified the men
of the trouble that had been complained of,
and said the men unwilling to work cordially
with Burns must leave the service of the
company to-day at noon. At o'clock this
afternoon not one of the 125 men employed
in the yards put in an appearance. The
company soon secured thirty new men and
has given the strikers until tomorrow to
decide what to do. Should they determine
to stay out the officials of the road will get
a complete new force. They do not antici-
pate an extension of the trouble to other
points on the system.
