The Literary Programme.

DR.. Lustig appeared before the executive
committee last night when twas In session
and asked that 500 be set aside as prize
for the best decorated building along the
line of the parade. but this modest request
did not meet with the approval of the COM
mittee and was laid on the table for further
consideration at some future time.
DR., Lustig's plan Is to have the business
houses rival each other In the matter OF
decoration, 80 as to secure some fine dis
plays, and he thinks that by Offering pre-
MUM there would be many competitors.
although they would probably eXpend by
far more money than the prize would
amount to in order to be declared the chief
decorator for that day.
The executive committee allowed S30O
only to The decoration committee, one-5ixth
of which has already been expended on the
hanging of banner across Market street.
Chairman Sonntag of the finance COM
mittee reported last night that liberal con-
tributions are pouring in from all sources.
The question OF locating the fireworks was
not decided. but the sentiment of the COM
mittee is strongly in favor of North Beach,
for one of the two places for a pyrotechnlc
display. The sum Of $1,000 was voted for
fireworks.
The parade committee. through its chair;
man, General John McComb, announced
that General John II. Dickinson has ac-
copied the invitation rendered him IN behalf
of himself and the Second Brigade Of the
n. G. c., and that the soldier boys will be
in line. Lieutenant G. Ii. Croker of the
naval battalion also has promised TO parade
with his men, provided they be given a
band. The committee decided to grant the
request Of musical escort, and the naval
battalion will parade. Grand Marshal
Charles w. Decker has sent cOmmunica
ton TO the cOmmandant of the YountVille
Home for 10 or 20 veterans to be invited to
participate in the parade, and he is now
awaiting an acceptance or refusal OF this
invitation.
The literary committee stated that on
Tuesday, when the executive committee
will hold its next meeting, it will report
full programme.
The regatta committee has done some
active work, and the maritime features of
the day promise to be most prominent.

BERLIN, June 1S-The leading topic of
conversation in court and diplomatic circles
is the project for a conference between the
Car and the Emperor Francis Joseph. 1t
is understood that the conference was first
suggested by Emperor William at the re-
cent meeting between himself and the Gar
at Kiel. The communications between the
latter two since then promise TO result in
the extension OF formal invitation by
the Gar TO the Emperor Francis Joseph 10
take part this autumn in an imperial hunt
ing expedition In Spala, Poland. The ut
most importance is attached TO the arrange
ments, rs tending to modify the Russian
entente with France.
The West Deutsche Allgemene Zeitung
Bismarek's new organ in Cologne, denies
that any oyertuTes looking to a TecODciia-
ton have been made by either the Emperor
William or Bismarck. The paper adds that
il is the Princes enemies who ought to ask
pardon before the Emperor and the country.
The internal history of the events which
led to Bismarck retirement cannot be re-
called now, but all precautions have been
taken TO prevent the future passing an in
correct Judgment.
The Government is watching with the
keenest interest the developments of the
approaching elections in England. Its
sympathies are altogether with the Con-
serYatiyes, as it is known that the advent of
Gladstone TO power would be directly
against the interests of the Dreibund. King
Humbert is specially concerned as q Glad
stonian victory would imperil the entente
with Lord Salisbury on the cooperation of
the English and Italian fleets against France
under certain contingencies.
Official statistics collected by the trade
associations in various towns In Germany
have created a bad impression as to the con-
dition of the w0rkingmen. The statistics
will be powerful weapon for the socialist
propaganda.

SAN JOSH, June 1S-San Jose Is IN
turbulent state tonight on account OF the
commencement Of the enforcement OF that
clause Of the retail liquor ordinance CON-
pelling saloons to close at 10 O'Clock on
Saturday night and remain closed until
Monday morning al ) o'clock. This par
ticular clause had the effect OF throwing
upon the streets not less than 500 men, who
were forced from the saloons at 10 o'clock.
All the saloon keepers had agreed to sub
nit to the Sunday closing provision IN the
hope, however, of having the entire ordin-
ancp, which they consider obnoxious, re-
pealed on Monday night They had thus
far bid defiance TO the ordinance as regards
the entrance doors.
This ordinance, which went into effect on
Wednesday, provided for at least One-half
of the entrance doors TO be of clear glass, so
as TO afford an uDobsuucted view OF the
bar and the interior Of the saloons. Many
complied, but II were arrested Tor non-c0m-
pliance.
The feeling on the streets has been
aroused against the ordinance generally,
aud tonight, when tie masses were eJected,
q multitude of people assembled under the
electric tower, and. headed by dozen prom
inent citizens, led thTOng 10 the residence
Of Mayor SchiIling.
The beating of drums, the screaming OF
flies and the rioi0us shouts OF the crowds en-
route 10 the Mayors dwelling made night
hideous. Arriving ct the dwelling, Joe
Schillng q brother OF the Mayor defed
the crowd, calling them towards, and left
them, leading his mother by the arm back
to the house. She had gone out when the
NOS first appeared, and had tried Tainly to
dispel the crowd. which by this time num-
bered over 1000 people.
Mayor SchilliRg left the city two days
ago for Tassajara Springs. and when the
crowd learned of the fact it disbanded only
10 congregate at drinking resorts outside
the city limits. where the license to indulge
IS unrestricted.
The restaurants, which also come under
the ban, did huge business, and at mid
night there was more drunkenness in the

SONoMA. June 15.-Sonoma had another
serious fright last night, The children of
the public school were having an entertain
ment in WeyPs Hall, which was crowded
with women and children. IN the midst Of
the entertainment q defective coal-oil lamp
suspended from the center of the hall, i'm
mediately under which sat % or 80 little
girls, was discovered to be on fire on the in
side Of the bowl of the lamp and also on
the outside Of the lamp. Efforts were made
by several parties to put the flames out. but
these were unsuccessful The widest con-
fusion prevailed among the women and
children and for few seconds 1t seemed as
though a terrible calamity was about 10
happen At this stage Of the Proceedings
H. Ii. GTanice, a member Of the Sc
mona Volunteer FITemen, made his way
through the audience and c00lly taxing the
lamp in bis hands, 1t being by this time
absZe on the outside, carried 1t out Of the
hall and down a long flight Of stairs When
the foot OF the stairs was reached the lamp
exploded and the burning fluid was scat
tered on the sidewalk.
The glare from the burniDg oil caused
many in the hall to think that the hallway
was on fire and women shTeked and tainted
and for a time pandemOuium prevailed.
4 few CCOl heads assured those stricken by
tho terror that there was no danger, the eX-
element subsidized and the exercises went
on without further interruption. This is
the second time within q few months that
a similar accident, attended with the same
scenes, has occurred a this very same hall

prises the Forty-fourth and Forty fifth As
sembly districts, and fav0rs the Hon.
James G. Mcguire as Democratic nominee
for Congress, who was TO address the meet
ing, but was unavoidably absent.
The crowd was amused by the tunes of
an ancient banjo and harmonica that had
evidently seen service, until the members
commenced Ito arrive. President c.. w.
Pope finally arrived and took the chair and
Charles McCarty acted as secretary. The
chairman read letter to the effect that Mr..
Mcguire was detained at Santa Cruz and
could not be present. but would be pleased
to address the brigade at their next meet
ing.
In order to fill in Clitus Barbour delivered
a rabid 0ld-time Democratic speech on tariff
reform. literally interspersed with language
more emphatic than polite Mike de Young
received an especial share of his attention.
and was roundly denounced by the speaker
for the methods he employed to become
prominent in Politics. The crowd vocifer-
ously applauded the speaker and when he
had finished passed him vote OF thanks.
The chair announced that fire engine
had been secured for the use Of the men,
bers of the club on parades and that
uniform had been adopted. An ex-
eeutive committee, composed of the
following named was also appointed: A.

GOING TO CRIMMINs.
Quinn and Wilson Have Arrayed Them
Ealves Arninst Rurna

Quinn and Wilson Have Arrayed Them
selves Against Burns.
The split between Burns and Quinn and
Wilson instead Of being narrowed is likely
to be widened. The colonel is waiting for
the Collector to extend the olive branch.
but II all reports are true he will wait a
long time. In fact, John G. has now
climbed OH his high horse and he proposes
to ride. lie is indignant at the summary
manner in which the friends OF Colonel
Burns have appeared to dispose of him and
he will strike back. When he strikes he
will hurt. because he will hit hard. Quinn's
following is not TO be sneered at and bis
forces will be Increased by those of j. n E.
Wilson. Mutual friends who view the situa-
ton passiyely and from afar say that the
Burns faction has merely forestalled the
action of Quinn and Wilson and cast them
off when the time was nearly ripe for their
withdrawal.
As stated in THE CALL few DAVIS ago
the only refuge OF Quinn and Wilson Is in
the enemy's camp, and Kelly and Crimmins
are prepared TO receive them with open
arms. 1t was learned yesterday that while
no direct 0vertures in this direction have
been made. the way Is being smoothed for
the combine. The breach between Quinn
and Burns cannot now be healed, as Quinn
is warm on account OF the publicity the
colonel has given him. The Republican
County Committee has not yet declared
vacant the seats of the boilers, and their
chairs will probably not be warmed by
others The Kelly and Crimmins crowd
expect that the recacitrant sheep will wan
der back, and the gate OF the fold has been
ana will be left open for them.
Regarding the possibility OF the breach
between the rival County Commit
tees being closed by the State Central Com
mittee, member of the Kelly and Grim
Minis branch expressed himself very forcibIy
yesterday.
I'VE will not tolerate any interference"
he said, from the State Central Committee
with such a composition for the executive
committee, and that committee had better
take care of its own end of the fight. We
can take care OF ours, and as sure as they
attempt to interfere the signal of defeat for
the Republican party will be sounded. We
have walkover as THE CALL said yester-
day if harmony prevails. We are in for
harmony, but we will not be buldozed"
