Commander johnson on
Trial.
THE INVESTIGATION BEGUN.
A Court-rartiaI Trying to Find Out
Why the MoliiCaH Was Aground
on Her Last Trip.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

VALLEJO, Dec. 15-The board appointed
to try Commander II. L. Johnson for
grounding the steamer Mohcan commenced
work to-day, The trial should have COM
meuced Wednesday, but Captain A. T.
Mahan, who should have been here. was de-
layed 10y late train, so tie trial had to be
pnt over one day.
The court-martial being held is the result
of the findings of the recent court of In
Quiry held at the yard as to the reasons
leading 10 the grounding of the United
States steamer Mohican while On her recent
trip down from Boring Sea.
The following are the names OF the off,
GERS who VIII conduct the trial: Rear
Admiral John Irwin, president; members
Captain L. r. Wallace, Captain Alfred T.
Mahan. Captain Berj amin f. Day, Captain
J. r. Bartlett, Commander Silas w. Terry,
Commander Charles f. Clark, Commander
Thomas Perry and Lieutenant Lincoln
Karmany. United States marine corps.
1t is expected the court will be in session
for some time. as trials of this character
are the most rigid and searching that are
known. The officers composing the board
have had considerable experience in this
class OF duty. The five officers named follow
ing after the Admiral were detailed from the
East, and arrived at the yard within the
last day or two for this particular purpose.
The court will continue in session from day
to day until the trial is ended. Their find
ings will then be sent to the Navy Depart
ment for fual action.

FEDERATION OF LABOR.
A Number of Questions Discussed b,
the Delegates.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 15.-The morning
session of the Federation of Labor was un-
important, the most Of IL beingdevoted to a
discussion of the propositions to cancel
small loans made by the body TO striking
organizations in the past.
AT the afternoon session resolution was
adopted declaring boycott on the National
Brewing Company of San Francisco.
The report of the committee to which
President Gompers' report had been re-
ferred was then heard. The Committee
concnrTed in most of the recommendations
and the concurrence was approved until
tue clause favoring the opening of the
Worlds Fair was reached. There was n
long discussion on this, Miss Kenny of the
shirt-ironers opposing it on the ground that
1t was an intrenchment upon the working
peoples rights to day of rest. Other or
CARNATIONS, however, advocated it, and il
was Endorsed by vote of 90 to 49,
d. Then there was lengthy talk on the
subject of holding labor congress at the
Worlds Fair.
Some delegates opposed the project as
impracticable, owing to the wide diyerp-
ence OF aims and opinions between the
working people of America aud those of
other countries
To test the sense Of the federation a
motion was offered that the organization
participate in the International Labor Con-
gress in 1895. and the debate on this WAS
still going on at the time of adjournment.

people outside the ranks. and it's hardly
singular that even some Of the soldiers
themselves should have been little startled
al the queer show of last Sunday.
Major Keppel told CALL man Yesterday
that he had heard no murmurings Of ais
content or even of aisapprobation from the
ranks.
Yet he would not say there had been
none.
IT'S only the regular military funeral"
he said, land in burying Mrs. Van Loan as
we did we only followed out her own
wishes in the matter.
when alive she had often expressed the
wish to be buried according to the army
custom. We are sorry il some people do
not like our WAYS, but We can't help 1t.
There were several souls saved at the
funeral services Sunday, and l know that
when the bereaved husband made the
address over the body Of his loved one
there was not dry eye in the barracks,
excepting, perhaps his own.
Gods work was done at that funeral,
and the harvest of souls was a rich one,"
But the question of whether conservatism
is mutiny is still unanswered
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1892-12-16

There is even provision In the reguia-
tons for the turning of thrifty penny or
two during the burial services OF a soldier.
ut will be possible sometimes" says this
rule, land decidedly advisable when posi-

particulars relating to the life and death of
the deceased. with one or two special songs

charge, say haif-penny EACH"
The regulations are printed In England
That accounts tor the word 'half-penny"
which is equivalent to / cent.
The ''song sheets, as they are called. were
not printed and sold at Mrs. Van Loans fu

From financial standpoint this was GER

garding funerals, another of which is as fol-

BISHOPS IN COUNCIL.
Almost Impossible to Get Information
of Their Doings.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 15.-The Council OF Suf-
fregan Bishops adjourned this afternoon
after taking a pledge of secrecy regarding
their proceedings. II is almost impossible
to CLEAN any information, but 1t is currently
reported that it has been decided that
Bishop Hennessy of Dubuque shall be ele-
waited to the archieDiscopal dignity and that
a new see shall be created. As to the selec-
tion oil three names TO be sent 10 Rome, one
oil which will be chosen icoadjuctor 20 the
venerable Archbishop Kendrek, it is be-
lieyed that a secret ballot was taken and of
the three selected il is reported that Bishop
John Lawrence Spaulding OF Peoria re-
ceiTed tile greatest number of votes. The
second is said TO have been Monsigner
o'Connell. AS to the third name selected
there is considerable doubt Ii is thought.
however, TO be one Of the following: Wear
General Brady of st. Louis. Bishop Kahn
OF Wheeling and Bishop Fitzgerald of Lit
tie Rock. Bishop Burke of Cheyenne,
Wyo., is said to have given up his see,
which, he asserts, will not support Bishop
1t is believed that he will be appointed to
the vacant see of ST. Joseph.

CONVICTED OF MURDER.
A Chinaman Did Not DENY His
Crime.

Los ANGELES, Dec. 15.-The trial of An
Young was concluded to-day in Judge
Smiths department. Evidence OF the
prosecution closed yesterday afternoon.
Much TO the surprise of every one, the de-
tense offered no testimony. The accused
Chnaman did not even get on the stand to
offer any explanation Of himself or his
whereabouts during that period. He did
not deny that he was seen at the house and
that he was seen TO run away from the place
that night. and why he went to the haystack
where he was found. There is but one
opinion among the spectators, who have
heard the trial throughout. as to the guilt
or innocence Of the accused. He is believed
to be guilty. His very non-appearance
upon the stand amour ted 10 plea of guilty.
Afier discussing the case q little less than
an hour the jury returned a verdict of muir
der III the first degree. The facts in the
case are still fresh in the public mind, aud
1t constitutes one of the most dastardly
crimes ever committed within the pale of
civilization and for causes unknown.

A FUNERAL FUSS.
Conservative SalVatiOniStS
Displeased.
MRS. VAN LOANS ODD BURIAL
Some of the Soldiers Think 1t Was
Outre, While Others Say 1t
Was All Right.

Is conservatism in the Salvation Army
mutiny?
The inquiry is pertinent at this time. for
if it be answered in the affirmative then
there's mutiny in the San Francisco bar
racks.
Certainly there's conservatism, though it
might not have shown itself so soon had it
not been for the rather unique, even bizarre,
manner in which the funeral services of the
late Mrs. Van Loan were celebrated last
Sunday.
She was The wife of Corps Captain Van
Loan. and an earnest Christian woman. as
the many who were converted through her
influence can attest. She was the mother.
too. of two likely lads and babe in arms.
You read abont that funeral, how the
body was carried through the streets in a
coffin TO the blaze of trumpeis. with no out
ward symbol of mourning, and covered only
with the red and white army flag
1t was the first Salvation Army funeral
in this city, and its very novelty rather
startled the Quieter and more conservative
element of the ranks in this city.
And there has been some talk about it
since, some comment 10 the effect that had
there been less of the bizarre about the SER

vices and a little more attention paid TO the
ordinary conventions and usages of civilized
civic society il might possibly have been
Just as impressive.
Some say more Impressive.
Some have regretted that there was not
at least hearse used in conveying the
body through the streets; some that the
near relatives and chief mourners could not
have ridden in closed carriages.
Some would have been satisfied had only
the drums been muffied, and the glare of
the red shirts covered by black coats.
Of course, there's no pleasing everybody
ia case Ike this, and the conservative
have done nothing more than taik little.
And there's no mntiny in il ali unless con-
servatism is mutiny.
But about this latter proposition: It's
not so certain but that conservatism in the
Salvation Arpy is mutiny.
Were not a conservative body" SAYS
Major keppel, "and can always he depended
upon to do something new and striking,
and we only gave Mrs. Van Loan the regu-
Iation burial. It's the custom all over the
world to bury soldiers as she was burr ed"
And the major is right there, for it is ex-
pressly provided in the Field Officers Regu-
lations" that funerals of soldiers shall be
utilized solely for the salvation of souls.
BY the way there are some queer regula-
lions concerning funerals in that book. For
instance, the one about hearSes:
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1892-12-16

There is a curious regulation about mourn

Women Want Equal Pay With Men
for Equal Work.

CHICAGO, Dec. I5.-The National Council
OF Reformers in triennial session to-day
listened to an extended report on dress re-
form presented by Mrs. Frances Russell.
The report, after discussing all the forms of
dress suggested, recommended one of a
composite type, loose wristed and short
skirted. After an exhaustive discussion
the matter was deferred for future meet
ing. The committee on equal pay for equal
work reported that efforts were being made
to have bill introduced in Congress making
statutory provision for the reform. The
divorce reform committee made a report
outlining the work of the committee looking
to representation of women in the Ma
tional Divorce Reform League.

This morning his lifeless body was dis
