PARNELL'S MANIFESTO.
New York Papers Ridicule the Appeal of tn
Land League Leader

New York Papers Ridicule the Appeal of the
Land League Leader.
New YORK, March 14-Parnel's mani
festo is coldy received here. The Herald
and Tribune did not print it, and the Times
publishes but brief synopsis.
In its editorial column the Times says:
Parnell's tours in this country apparently
have not had the effect Of impresslng him
very deeply with the intelligence Of It's In
habltants, either American or Irish-Amerl-
can. If they had had this effect, he would
5 carcely have yentured to issue his address.
The address assumes that the people who
read it have no knowledge OF current events
with reference to the Irish question, except
what is impaired to them by the address
itself. Where this assumption Is correct the
address may be plausible performance.
Where the assumption fails, the address
must be entirely void of effect.
The World says: ParnelPs manifesto
asks for mcney for political use, but makes
no mention Of help for the evicted tenants
who bravely stOed out for many weary
months in sef-sacrhciEg protest against
the rack rent principle. Has Parnell for
gotten the martyrs OF the CAUSE in his qurrel
with ether leaders?
The Post says editorially: The money
seeking manifesto from Parnell will, we
trust meet the response 1t deserves from
such American-Irsh as have any money to
spare for Irish needs. No matter how un-
justly Parnell NAV have been treated, either
by Gladstone or his own Irish colleagues,
his one duty to Ireland is to get out of sight.
The fact that he has been ill-used does not
authorize him to 60 on WI, cking the home
rule movement.
The Mail and Express says: For colossal
effrontery the manifesto beats anything that
has vet appeared.

CITY CEMETERY.

Colonel MendelI Wants to Know What
the Supervisors Have Done About 1t.
"People seem to think" said Supervisor Bur
ling yesterday, with a welldeveoped frown Of
impatience, 'rhat we Supervisors ought to know
everything and do everything, whether matters
come before US officially or nor.
"NOw for instance" lie added, i've just re-
ceiFed note from Colonel Meudell. asking why
the Supervisors don't do something about the
City Cemetery
"Well-' and the Supervisor turned away a
step or Two, shook his head and gave expression
to a huge disgust "Blank itl' he finally ex-
claimed, "what have we got TO do with the City
Cemetery? We've heard the people talking
about II; we've heard that certain parties are
very much interested in II; and seems TO me I've
herd that that Colonel Mendell has something
to do with IL IN connection with the Government.
But that's all we know about IL. The matter
has never come 10 our attention In any official
shape. What, then, have we got to do about it
" Ii don't stIike Inc that It's the Supervisors
business to go securing the county for some
thing 10 do. Ii takes about al our time notice,
TO attend t0 other matters That come before us in
the usual way. II Colonel MeEdell desires the
Su peryISoTs TO DO something about The City
Cemetery let him bring the subject before us IN
IRe usual way. We Will listen 10 him just as
quick as We wOnld any other citizen. But the
Colonel has got mistaken idea OF things II he
thinks We are going 10 run around and dance
attendance on hlaI.
The supervisors am satisfied, are anxious
to do whatever they can fol the good OF the city.
No doubt the removal of The City Cemetery
would be wise, and II Colonel Mendell or any
other representative OF the Government Will
make proposition 10 the Supervisors OF what is
desired they will do all IN their power TO aid the
scheme. But we're not going around hunting

Smith Declares He Shot Craig
i'm Seif.DefenSe.

Thomas Craig, the proprietor Of Second
street clearinghouse, who was shot at an
early hour yesterday morning by Matt
Smith, janitor at the new City Hall, was
in very precarious condition yesterday
and the Police Surgeon was OF the opinion
that he would not survive.
Additional details in reference to the
shooting were CLEANED yesterday. from
which it appears that the men were in the
Charter Oak Saloon. discussing the result
of the Kilrain Godfrey fight, when they
quarreled. Smith refused challenge to
fight and Craig slapped him in the face,
telling him he would have to do battle or
change his opinions.
1t was then that Smith drew pistol and
fired two Shots one bullet striking Craig in
the left side. Smith, who is locked up in
the City Prison on charge of an assault
with intent TO commit murder, declares that
he fired upon Craig in self-defense and that
he began to carry pistol on Friday because
his Lille had been threatened. The man with
whom he had had trouble, however, is not
Craig.
Several pugilists and sporting men who
are friendly to Craig paid him visits yester-
day afternoon and said they would employ
special counsel to prosecute Smith.

VINEYARD HAVEN Mass, March IA
The United States corvette Galena apd the
United States tug Nina went ashore last
night south of Gayhead Lighthouse during
strong southern gale. There was dense
fog at the time. The Galena was being
towed to the Portsmouth Navy-yard for re-
repairs. The officers and crows of both
vessels were taken off by the Galena's boats
and the life-SRvng crew. A steam tug
which visited the scene tn-day reported that
the sea was making clean breach over
both vessels. The officers and crews saved
nothing from the wrecks. The Gaena had
three new boilers on deck which were TO be
put IN her.
The Galena was lately put out of commits
sion by Secretary Tracy for want of officers
York two days ago, in tow OF the
tug Nina, for the navy yard at
Portsmouth,. to be overhauled. Her
going ashore was an accident due, it is
said, to miScalculatlon of the man at the
wheel. No lives were lost, but it is feared
she will be a total loss, as she lies in a very
DrecariOus situation.
NEW YORK, March 14-The bark re-
ported ashore last night on RDmers Shoals

tinued to rise, and about Q o'clock this morn

mend0uS sea prevented the boats getting
near the bark. Two revenue cutters were
sent to her assistance and the Use OF the

Through to Completion.
The Market-street Extension Commission
ers held an important meeting last night, at
which the long-disputed choice of Secre-
tary was finally settled. All of the Com
missioners were present, William j. Bryan,
j. j. Servener and NJ. Fallon, the first
named presiding.
The difficulty of selecting Secretary
sprang up Immediately after the Commits
siOners were appointed, and would not
down. In the light OF Judge Hoge's late
decision, settling the legality OF the COM
mission, the necessity of getting down TO
business was apparent; hence last nights
meeting and lis successful issue. Bryan
nominated n. Selig, FalIon named j. j..
Driscoll, while Scriyener's choice was j. j.
Flynn. 1t took several ballots to make any
change in the first choice, but finally Mr.
Flvnn came out victor.
The surveyor OF the commission will file
his report in few days, and at the next
meeting the Commissioners will file their
preliminary report. Thereafter the board
proposes TO bend right down to the work in
hand, hold meetings every night, and, so 10
speak, be in continual session till the eXten-
sion of the city's main thoroughfare is COM
pleted TO the ocean beach.

LAKESIDE TENNIS.
SanbOrn Wins the First of Three
Tournaments.

The finals of the Lakeside Club tourna-
ment for the trophy were played off yester-
day afternoon at the grounds of the club.
The conditions of the tournament have been
arranged with the intention of preventing
any crack player from having mortgage on
the trophy and of giving as much encourage
ment as possible to the weaker players of
the club.
The eontesting players are arranged in
four classes, according to their skill. One
week ago the contestants settled the QueS-
tion of supremacy in their respective classes
and yesterday tile four winners met. The
club will hold two other similar tourna-
nIents at intervals of two months, from
which the winner of any preceding tourna-
ment will be barred. The three winners of
the tournaments will then play and the sue
cessful player will gain the trophy.
The first semi-fnal played off yesterday
was between Sanb1rn of the first class and
Archibald of the thrd-Sanb0r had to give
Archibald handicap of half 80, but in
spite of the heavy odds won two sets and
the match by a score of six games to one,
and six games to TWO. Driscoll of the third
class, who was tO have played off the other
Scmi-fnal with Gil .ffil of the second class,
WAS absent, and Griffin took the gam by
default. Sanb0rn tEen met Griffin in he
final, allowing nInl handicap OF hall 10.
Sauhorn won the first three games, but
Griffin the three next. The seventh, in
which the score went TO deuce twice, and
the eighth were won by Sanborn The ninth
was Gritfin's, aud was remarkable for his
sharp return of a vnliey, which was re-
warded by round of applause. SanbOrn
won the tenth and set by six games To four.
The next set also went to Sanb0rn by
score of six games to two. The second and
third games of this set were very evenly
fought. the score being at deuce twice in
the former and tlree times in the latter.
and the ball being several times kept going
for some time.
In the thitd set Griffin only won Que
game-the fifth. The three sets and match
were therefore won by Sanborn by a score
of Ga, 62, 81. Sanborn is leit-handed
player with good service, the first ball Of
the service coming off very frequently and
seeming hard 10 return. He plays with
GOODNESS and Judgment aud places well. AS
he defeated HaiRht and Hubbard in the
present tournament, he will no doubt make
a good showing with the best players on
the Coast
