which would take American laborers

which would take American laborers
into the country.
Previous to this the companys ware
houses were to be filled with arms and
provisions. On a certain night grand
fandango was to be given at the Hotel
Iturbide at Ensenada, to which all the
Mexican officials would be invited that
they would all be got drunk, the captain
of the guard would be bribed and at a
given signal the guards would be over
powered and the revolutionists would
take possession. Colonel Hill further
stated that Major Scott freely offered the
steamers Manuel Dublan and Carlos
Pacheco for the use of the revolution
lists.
Later on it was proposed to organize a
council OF fifteen to take charge of the
movement. An agent was sent to En-
senada, and on his return reported that
Mr.. Scott suggested the capture of the
Mexican war steamer Democratic. At a
meeting of the council held April Dist,
it was decided to keep the scheme
within the knowledge OF the five per-
sons. On April 23rd w. G.. Smith, who
was to be governor-general of the new
territory, read declaration of indie
pendence and his inaugural address.
Augustus Merrill was to be command
ing-general, B. A. Stephens was to be sec
retary-general, Col. E. Hill, war-general !;
=. A. Harris, surveyor-general. A design
for flag was adopted at this meeting
and it was estimated that the arms nee
essary for the great scheme were six
field-pieces, several gatling-guns and
1000 Winchester rifles. Arms were to
be brought from the east and hidden at
the harbor entrance at San Diego and a
number of other arrangements were said
to have been made, but so far as known
no actual move was taken in the matter.
An evening paper yesterday gave the
names OF a number of men who had
been selected as officers, including the
name of Frederic Hall as attorney-gen-
eral.
Mr.. Hall called at the HERALD office
last evening and stated that he in no
way was connected with the scheme and
that he knew nothing about it, and did
not believe the whole scheme amounted
to anything.
The same San Diego paper that printed
the story contains an editorial in which
the following comments are made:
''When the character of the undertak-
ing is considered, there will be smile
OF derision excited by the names of those
most actively engaged in organizing the
scheme"
'The actors in this absurd drama may
well be left to the ridicule which their
conduct will undoubtedly excite"

A FILIBUSTERING STORY.
Only Five People Concerned in the
Scheme.


A story of filibustering scheme ap-
peared in San Diego paper yesterday
morning. The article charges Walter
Il. Smith, Augustus Merrill, B. A.
Stephens, Col. Edward Hill and C. A.
Harris, OF San Diego, with formulating
scheme by which possession was to be
taken OF Lower California, and gives an
account OF number of meetings of the
alleged conspirators, at which their
plans were discussed. At a meeting
held on April Sth it was stated that Col.
Hill pledged $4,000 in support of the
scheme, and said that other individuals
would pledge $40, 900 more. The money
would be refunded by the Mexican Land
and Colonization Company. Col. Hill
also said that he would inquire the
price OF fire arms and ammunition in
the east. He also detailed an interview
with Major B. Scott, manager Of the
company at Ensenada, in which Mr.
Scott stated that the company would
advance large sum of money to aid the
revolution. Mr.. Scott outlined plan
for the capture of the peninsula that
included the construction of railroad

"ShenaudOah,o

The second presentation of Bronson
Howard's masterpiece filled the opera
house to repletion last night. The play
wright has in this piece succeeded in
completely overcoming the common OBJ
stacle to success in reproducing the
scenes of the late war. He has avoided
the clap-trap and bombast of pseudo
patriotism, and he has presented the
events of the great strife in such a way
as not to CRATE upon the prejudices OF
either unionist or confederate. With
great tact he has given us picture OF
the war with the sting of sectional an
tagonism drawn out. The plot of the
piece, too, is natural, and has in all its
stages and action tinge of romance
that excites the livehest interest Of the
audience. The battle scenes are realistic,
and divested as they are OF the usual
stage fanfaronade of mimic war, they do
not divert the mind from the serious
phases of the stirring events presented.
The plot, from beginning to end, is
worked up with great skill, and the
dialogue is natural, bright, and at times
sparkling. The characters are excel
lently limned, and the action OF the
piece proceeds without flaw or hitch or
strained effects, to the fall of the curtain.
1t is but just to say that all the roles are
very cleverly sustained, and the author
is indebted to the fine rendition of their
parts by the company for a very clear
and artistic Interpretation of his work
The piece possesses intrinsic merit out
side of its fine spectacular features. 1t
is written with fine discrimination on
the lines of sectional prejudice, and is
replete with dramatic action in every
scene. Indeed we may say in one word,
it has the merit of all successful plays. it
holds the auditor in rapt and intense
attention from the opening to the closing
scene. Shenandoah will be repeated this
evening.
Paul Kauvar.
Next week Paul Kduudr will be pro-
duced at the Grand opera house by

said to have made his best effort in this
production, which has attracted large
audiences wherever it has been played.

HOWARD CLUB PICNIC.
An Enjoyable Outing of P0liti-
clans at Badgers Park.

The annual picnic of the Howard Club,
held yesterday at Badgers Park. drew a
large crowd to that resort. The attaches
of the County Clerks, Sheriff's and Re-
corder's offices were ont in full force, but
politics was forgotten during the day. The
affair was chiefly invitational, the object
being not to raise money, but to provide an
opportunity for the members and their
friends to have an enjoyable outing.
The greater part of the day was spent in
dancing. a full string band being in attend
ancP, and the floor being in charge of T.. j..
Wegscheider, who saw to it that all were
provided with partners.
A foot-race was held in the afternoon be-
tween John Patrick Rice of the Sheriff
Office and w. j. Rightmeyer Of the Coun ty
Clerks Office. who are chiefly noted for
their Falstaffiau girth. Before the start
they desired to back out on account of the
heat, but their proposition was voted down +,
ami amid much nerrimcnt they were sent
off. Their gait was not fast one, for they
puffed and blew and Sweated around the
course till the time-keeper grew tired of
following the minute-hand of his watch and
abandoned their reckoning. They finally
came to the winning post, check by jowl,
Rightmeyer seeming 10 have the best of it.
Another laughable and interesting 1eat-
ure of the picnic was the tug-of-war be-
tween the members OF the County Clerks
and Sheriff's offices. 1t was headed on the
enc side by Peter Deveny, and on the
other by Ed Williams. Not being in train
ing, the exhibition was regarded more in
the light of a comedy than an exhibition of
strength. The County Clerks boys won the
match.
The officers of the club are: Frank J.
Gray, President; j. K. Lawson, Vice-Pres-
ident; Thomas j. Flynn, Secretary; John

An Instructive Lesson On Prevailin


An Instructive Lesson On Prevailing
Prayer"
At the opening of Mrs. Cooper'S Bible
Glass in the Temple Emanu Ell yesterday,
letter was read from Bryant Howard of San
Diego, giving details regarding system of
charities that is being established in that
city. These include the Children's Indus
trial Home, kindergartens, Industrial
school and school of technology. With
the physical, mental and moral discipline of
these schools, the children who might, with
out them, grow up paupers and criminals,
viii be well-equpped to enter the arena of
life and become good, useful and happy
citizens.
This" added Mrs. Cooper, t" is the ult-
mate aim OF our work here in San Fran
cisco. True religion looks after the body
as well as the soul, and Is not alone prep
aration for future world, but grand III
strument for the improvement of this"
The subject of the lesson was Prevail
ing Prayer in the course OF which many
questions were asked in regard to it, such
as: What constitutes etfectual prayer"
viii God change his laws in answer to
it?'' etc. II was answered that true prayer
will make US forget our own wish and merge
1t into the holy will of God. 1t would be a
strange family where the chlld's will was
the law of the household, Prayer" SAID
Mrs. Cooper, was never intended to change
the outward universe, but it was IN tended
to change the human will into submission
to the Divine will"
1t was also asked: "What is the use of
praying. if God acts through jmmutable
lawS?" 1t was answered: "Ihere are laws
in human nature, and God has predicated
blessings upon obedience to those laws.
God helps us through obedience to his laws
in us. Prayer was never meant to take the
place Of our own endeavor, nor to be a pre-
MUM on laziness

NORTHERN DEMOCRATS.

Their Hatred for Buckley Is Affecting
Ponds Strength.
There is a growing feeling among the
Democrats of this State that their nominee
for the GOYernOrship is as unwieldv as an
iceberg, and that a disastrous blunder was
made at San Jose in forcing him upon the
public The blame is placed upon Buckley
and fretful growls against that toO-cOvetous
boss politician are TO be heard III every
county.
4 Well-known citizen, who is familiar
with the political complexion of the State,
from San Diego TO Siskiyou, has recently
returned from Il trip through the northern
counties.
"You would be astonished," he said, "at
the hatred of the people for Buckley up
north. They cannot understand why the
legislation OF the STATE should be so shame
fully controlled by one man, and that man

gang OF tOuEhs and hoodlums at his beck

County Dem" Gratis No Longer Pin Their

Now that Ponds strength in this city is
falling away before the boomeramic effects
of his incessent exercise Of his veto power
and his unaffabe and arctic-atmospheric de-
meanor, the Democrats are endeavoring to
assure themselves and any one who is fool
ish enough tc listen to them that Ponds
strength is solid in the interior.
II am puzzled over discovering in what
manner Pond secured his alleged strength
in the country" said a politician from Sac
ramento County TO knot of debaters last
night in the Palace Hotel. g l have been
told that he won favoritism by vetoing all
OF Buckley's corrupt schemes before the
Board OF Supervisors in this city, and that
ne Will be expected TO exercise his veto
power III similar manner and for a similar
purpose II he is elected to preside over The
Legislature; but now that the country has
caught the whisper OF collision with Buck
ley, tor the life of me l cannot understand
why the Democrats should persist in de-
claring that Pond is solid outside of this
city.
Il am also told that the country he
iieyed that Buckley nominated Pond To
strengthen himself municipality This idea
may be insinuated into the minds of the
people of the interior, but it will never be
boldly announced from the stump. At all
events, any reference whatever to collision
between Buckley and Pond, either for
municipal or State purposes, will fall upon
the country as cold as the smile for which
Pond has gained unenyiable fame"

Angry Democratic Delegates From the

Angry Democratic Delegates From the
City of Angels.
In the bar-room Of a downtown hotel
hall a dozen Democratic delegates from Los
Angeles were bowling up yesterday after
noon with no regard for expense. They all
sDorted Coleman badges, and acted as
though they were very proud of the orna-
ments to their breasts.
About the time they were primed for
tears or rage, as circumstances might de-
maLd, tail we .i-dressed individual strolled
up to the bar with a couple or friends and
called for drinks. His appearance created
among the Coleman delegates a similar eff
fecJ to that produced by a red rag in a bull
corral. They stopped their h0Tse-play with
each other and crowded around the object
Of their hate.
Ihe man IN the unfortunate predicament
was j. Marion Brooks Of Los Angeles, for
merry District Attorney of Ventura. He
listened comp0sedly while the mob ad-
dressed him in those terms which are COM
mon speech to Buckley's lambs, but when
they snatched his cane and purse and scat
tered his gold and silver over the floor he
had TO be held back by his friends from at
tempting to punch every head within reach
OF his fists. The belligerent delegates dis
covered that Brooks had good backing, and
they excused themselves on the plea that
they had to catch the train for home.
Brooks had worked bard for Buckley s
Pond at the san Jose Convention and had
thus made himself disliked by the delegates
from his county, who were strong Coleman
men.

They Propose Lofty intellectual Tum b.

The coming game of cards in Boston
seems to be the German game scat; which
is by no means new, but which for some
unaccountable reason seems to be having a
revival, or rather to be in the way of being
taken up, especially among the young men.
As there is every prospect that during the
coming winter, there will be an increase of
the interest, it behoves those who desire to
keep ND with the times in this particular to
devote their leisure this summer to con-
