There seems to be good deal of pain
full doubt IN the Democratic mind as to
the particular political standing of
Grover Cleveland. AT any rate the New
York Sun is heard saying:
1.-The Democrats elected Grover Cleve-
land president in 1884 under the impress
sion that he was Democrat. He turned
out to be mugwump. The Democrats
elected Grover Cleveland president in
1892 under the impression that he was a
MugwumpoD Democrat of some sort. He
has turned out to be Populist."

THE U. C. BANQUET.
Tho Resident Alumni Have an Enjo

Tho Resident Alumni Have an Enjoy
able Time.
For two years past the resident Uni
versity OF California men of this city
and vicinity have met together as often
as "ths spirit moved them," to keep
alive the memories of college days and
show their love for their alma mater.
Illich's cafe contained an enthusiastic
gathering of U. G. men on Saturday
evening, who met to do honor to the
banquet bountifully prepared by the ac-
complished caterer, and to have another
taste of real collegiate" good time.
An orchestra was in attendance, and
with jokes. songs and speeches the
evening passed merrily away.
Prof. Cnas. NJ. Gayley, head of the
English department OF the university,
was present as the guest OF the CLUB,
and contributed largely to the enjoy =
ment of the occasion. He was intro
duced by Mr.. Loewenthal, the toast
master, and responded to a hearty well
come in happy and spirited address,
in which he dwelt upon the prosperity
OF the university, the plans and hopes
of the future; and especially did the
professor try TO impress upon the club
the very efficient aid which the alumni
might render the university. His re-
marks were loudly spplauded, for pro-
fessor and alumni are both actively
enlisted in the advancement of the
university.
Tossts being called for, college themes.
especially football, were fully discussed
by Van Dyke, '95; May berry, 's9
North. 'S6, and DR.. Joseph Kurtz. A
general discussion then followed, par.
ticipated in by large number of mem
bers, on the subject of how beat to do
their duty as students and graduates to
further tine interests of the university.
Many valuable suggestions were made,
and the club will lose no opportunity to
act upon them.
The Glee club of the university will
give concert at the First Presbyterian
church Wednesday evening next, and
they promise musical treat of a high
order.
At the close OF the evenings festivities
the company joined hands around the
table, sang Aud Lang Syne, and parted
with the old-time U. @. yell.
Those present were as follows: Prof.
Charles M. Gayley J. W. Welch, III

THE CASE DROPPED.

The epreckeis Family Row Adjusted
Out of Court.
San Francisco Call: Some degree OF
surprise was occasioned in Judge Slack's
court yesterday when the Sensational
suit Of Fl. NJ. Woolley and @. A. Spreck-
els against Claus Spreckels. John d.
and Adolph Spreckels and the Hawaiian
Commercial company was ordered to be
stricken from the calendar.
Last November young Gus Spreckels
filed the above suit, in which
he charged his relatives with fraudulent
conspiracy. He complained that he had
been defrauded out of his interest in the
Hawaiian Commercial company by them
and had been denied participation in
the management. He declared that a
large amount of money was due to him
and he demanded an acco 1nting, under
threats OF exposures to follow.
The Spreckels family was evidently
very much perturbed at this action
taken by their young kinsman, and, al
though rumors as to the true origin OF
the suit were rife, no one eeems yet to
know exactly what lies at the bottom OF
it. 1t was known only that young
Spreckels claimed $50 shares OF sock in
the company, which were held in the
name of Clsus Spreckels and Henry J..
Dodge, and which be could not get put
in his name. He charged that the stock
of the company had been unscTupu
lously managed for the benefit of his
father, Claus Spreckels. All the stock
holders Of the company were made
parties to the suit as defendants.
1t was anticipated that when the pro-
ceedings came into court some sensa-
tional developments would eneue. but
to the surprise of all a stipulation was
filed in Judge Slack's court yesterday,
signed by all parties to the suit and
agreeing to a dismissal. Each side
agreed to pay it's own costs.
None of the parties interested and
none of the attorneys ensSged in the
case were willing TO give any det lis OF
the supposed compromise. All that .is
at present known is that Auguatus
Spreckels will assume control OF the
affairs of the Hawaiian Commercial
company, and the Offices will be at once
removed from 1927 Market street to 119
Bush. A new board Of directcrs will be
elected this month.

SLASHED EACH OTHER,
A SERIOUS CUTTING AFFRAY BE-
TWEEN MEXICANS.
George Rice and Phillip Lastro En-
gage in n Drunken Quarrel
With Very Serious
Results.

George Rice and Phillip Lastro,
Mexicans, occupy cells in the city jail.
Both are badly cut about the face, hay
ing INDUCED in slashing contest yes
terday morning.
The Mexicans became participants in
drunken row near the corner OF Ord
and Buens Vista streets, at ! O'Clock
yesterday morning.
Both are bad men. 1t is claimed by
Lastro that Rice cut him first. Lastro
then pllled his knife and a hand to
hand duel ensued.
When the smoke OF battle cleared
away, Rice was found to have got the
worst OF it. A long cash adorned his
left eye, running down the side OF his
face to the chin. A deep cnt was made
across the mouth, laying both lips open.
Lastro suffered from q cut nose. Rice
had evidently got only one slash at his
opponent, but he took advantage OF it.
His nose was cut almost in twain. Both
men will be disfigured for life.
When the officers first heard OF the
row both men escaped, bat we're later
arrested by Officer Vignes and taken to
the receiving hospital and aiterward
locked up.
Lastro was charged with assault with
a deadly weapon, and Rice was booked
for disturbing the peace.
