English Cabinet Hastily Convened
LONDON, Feb. 19.-There is much
gossip in political circles today ow-
ing to the fact that Lord Rose
berry, prime minister, upon his
arrival at his official residence this
forenoon, hastily summoned a
meeting OF the cabinet. The meas
ures taken to summon the minis
ters were rather extraordinary.
Messengers were dispatched in
cabs for the different ministers, and
all came to the meeting, which
lasted an hour. The precarious
condition OF the party as shown by
the recent narrow majority on
various questions in the House Of
Commons, aud the fact that Rose
berry had a long conference at
Buckingham palace yesterday
with the Queen and with the
whips OF the Liberal party today,

death was laid on it. Too many, young

thought the signs of the times the world
over were such as to encourage all think

among the unfavorable signs the lack of

Sabbath.
Before closing he spoke of the great re-
Iigious work being done by the Young

young men and women in church work.

their suggestions were not acceptable they
tried bulldozing. Now the men who are
on that committee will not be bulldozed,
and we are not going to resign, either.
"As for the mandate of the executive
committee, that is not binding on us. We
were not appointed by that committee, but
by the same power that appointed it. We
are, therefore, coordinate body, and not
a subordinate one. If we were a sub-com-
mittee of the executive committee, all of
our members would be members of that
body.
''In the published reports of the execu-
tive committee meeting, held last night,
l learn that there were nine members only
present. There are twenty-five members
of that body, and even if it had the right
to dictate to US, an order from nine
members would scarcely be sufficient.
GAS a matter of fact, this whole thing is
an attempt of a certain faction to make
this celebration a rehash of the rot which
was poured forth during the woman con-
gress in Dr. Browns church. We under
stood that this was to be Fourth of july
celebration, pure and simple, and we do
not propose that any faction shall succeed
in making it woman's right hurrah."

SIGNS Of THE TIMES.
Cooks Eloquent Address at
the First Congrega-
tiOnal Church.
Is No Longer Scientific
to Doubt.

The Rev. Joseph Cook addressed large
congregation in the First Congregational
Church last night. Auditorium and gal
leries were filled, and those who arrived
late were unable to obtain seats.
1.-THE Signs of the Times" was his sub
ject, which he treated from religious, phil
osophical and scientific view points. He
prepared his address by an interesting eX-
position of the position San Francisco
occupies, with reference to the future
growth of the world and in connection
with the two great cities of the East-New
York and Chicago.
"San Francisco" he began, sis facing
more millions of people in looking toward
the west than New York does in gazing to
the east. San Francisco is in an imperial
position OF Importance, and | am sure the
Pacific Ocean is destined to become the
imperial path of the world. There will be
a London and Liverpool on this coast
Liverpool on Puget Sound and London on
San Francisco Peninsula. For centuries
the countries of Europe have been contend
ing for the trade OF the Orient, but you are
at her door, and in time must be in abso-
lutte command of the commercial situation.
Therefore, New York, Chicago and San
Francisco will rule the destinies of the
United States, and their influence will be
felt in the future development of the
civilized world.
"Next Saturday go out of the Golden
Gate and do not expect to again touch the
shores of my native land until return to
it on the other side of the continent. 1 go
out of that gate as we all must enter that
other gate, but with no hope of return.
Are we prepared to enter that other gate?"
He spoke of the signs of the times as in
Dictated by the fact that it is no longer con-
sidered scientific to dispute or argue
against the Immortality of the soul. "What
right have you to say that there is no here
after for the soul? Demosthenes said that
an address should be openedby an incon-
trovertible proposition. 1t is an incontro-
vertible proposition that short time ago
you were not here ard in short time you
will not be here. The working days in a
mans life number about 13, 500. This is
arithmetic used to demonstrate religious
truth. When we have worked out those
49, 800 days or 135, 900 hours, and are ready
to lay down the battle of life what have
we left to take away with US? Does death
end all? 1t is time materialists closed
their lips. 1t is no longer scientific to
doubt the survival of the soul after death,
and in that sign of the time we see a future
brightness breaking on the horizon of
spiritual and religious thought"
The names OF many well-known and
celebrated writer's and thinkers were
brought forward in evidence of the souls
survival. among them Alfred Russell Wal

TO REDEEM THE GENTILES.
MormoniSm Making Its First
Strong Effort to Plant
Itself Here.
MANY MIssIONARIE AT WORK,
Not Gray-Whiskered Fellows But
Nice Young Business and
Professional Men.

EThe Mormon church is engaged in the
interesting work OF planting its feet by the
Golden Gate and drawing to the ''true
fold and the true Cod the Gentiles of Cali
fornia.
1t is long now since the second gospel
contained in the miraculously revealed
Book of Mormon has been read by many
of the faithful in California. Now, for the
first time in the history of the church, an
active and considerable effort to estab-
lish the church here has been begun. This
is not the "Reorganized" church which
has been heard of in Oakland, but the true
and original church founded by Joseph
Smith.
Recently twelve Gentiles have been bap-
tized here and in Oakland. Twelve more
have applied for admission, and number
are investigating. That may not seem to
be very rapid work, but it is planting the
Seed and the first presidency and the
apostles at Salt Lake are satisfied and en-
couraged.
Occasional Mormon missionaries have
struggled along in California before with
out adding more than one or two to the
100000 or SO numbered in the fold of the
Mormon church, but the present mission
airy effort is well organized and is car
ried on by twelve missionaries, or elders,
who are under the direction of Henry S.
Tanner, president of the California mis-
sions of the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day Saints.
These missionaries are surprising people

new headquarters before July LIST. The
Mayor was requested to postpone signing
the bill of sale, in behalf of the City, until
such time as the City could secure new
quarters. Mr.. Sutro promised to do this,
but the story goes that he went imme-
diately to his Office and affixed his sig
nature to the papers, transferring the prop
erty to Jake Rauer.
When this leaked out, CONSERVATION
reigned in the Office of Chief Crowley,
for he found himself literally turned
out in the cold. 1t seems that the lower
story of the old hall was to be retained by
the department for a few days, while the
ground floor was to go into the immediate
possession of Mr.. Rauer. This gentleman
claimed as part of his purchase the police
records for forty years, and it is stated
that he was actually in possession of them
for time. Whether he finally turned
them over for a consideration or volun-
tarily gave them up to the clerk is not now
known, but the department is in posses
sion of the valuable documents, and that
is all they care for.
Mayor Sutro will be called upon to ex-
plain why he signed the bill of sale, after
giving his word that he would not. 1t is
not unlikely that he will be handled in a
manner not at all to that gentleman
liking.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-06-10

to the average Gentle who sees one or sew
eral of them for the first time. The gen.
eral conception of Mormon missionary
is that of an old gray-whiskered fellow
who may properly be suspected of sem
sual nature. Well, that's all wrong.
| The Mormon missionaries now prose-
lyting here are a lot of nice young bright
! business and professional men of intel
lectual appearance, gentlemanly manner
and pleasant address. They look and act
like anybody else and could easily be mis-
taken for a lot of Native Sons. They are
men of the world, yet devoted to the
church and willing to sacrifice themselves
little for time for her glory and the re-
demption of the Gentiles.
The Mormon Church has way of its
| own. 1t looks about and "calls" this and
| that man to leave home and business and
go forth. 1t generally calls men of money
who can pay their own expenses. The
twelve California missionaries are not cost
| ing the church cent. The president,
Henry 5. Tanner, is a schoolteacher by
profession and a bright, cultured young
| man. He was run out of place in South
Carolina by mob once and came here last
| fall.
Most OF the others have come recently.
| One is W. M. Woodland, young attorney
of Bannock County, Idaho. Another is
Farley 7: Wright of Wright & Sons,
| large and well-known dry-goods firm of
| Ogden. Willard Scowscraft is partner in
the Ogden firm of John Scowcraft & Sons
John Smith has real estate business at
Salt Lake. The others are all young bust
ness men. Each has left his business for
year or two and each pays his own ex-
penses entirely and all can afford to live
pretty well. All chip in on the rent of the
| hall where Sunday meetings are held.
These missionaries are not suffering any
privations or martyrdom here. They take
life pretty easy. From three to five hours
day they put in going from house to
house and speaking to people who will
talk with them anywhere.
A card bearing the articles of faith and
some tracts are offered, with the sugges-
ton it would be interesting to investigate
ready to lend books and encourage any
disposition to look into the famous and
much-reviled faith. Thus they go quickly
but persistently about their PROSECUTING
work in the face of almost universal in
difference, but without any particular OPP
position. There is no hurrah, no fire, hardly
noticeable earnestness.
Forty people heard Elder Tanner tell of
1.-THE Rise of Mormonism" in a hall of
Pythian Castle last evening. It was the
largest Mormon gathering seen here. The
services were simple. Three elders offered
as many brief prayers with uplifted hands
and few in the congregation sang from
the psalmody as many hymns, the words
and strains of which were conceived by
faithful ones in the promised land of Utah.
Two missionaries are working in Oak
land two are in Los Angeles, TWO in Sac
ramento two in Fresno County and two
will soon go to San Diego.

CONCERNING THE FOUR7H

Anna ShaW'S Proposed
Address.
WOMEN TERMED INTERLoPERs,

Non-Members.

The name of Rev. Anna Shaw is APP

given place on the literary programme
of the Fourth of July, and the literary
committee is equally positive she shall not.
DR.. Fitch, chairman OF the literary COM

him to call a meeting of his committee
forthwith and to give Miss Shaw place
on the programme. The doctor has not

continued efforts to keep in the public
mind the deeds and virtues of our illus
trious forefathers.
The committee on decoration and
patriotic observance of the day gave an
outline of how they hoped to attract the
attention OF all classes of our citizens to
the recurring anniversary of the battle of
Bunker Hill. They hoped to do this by
asking the editors of the daily papers
to relate the story and picture the scenes
of this great event; by written appeal to
the clergy to announce from their pulpits
the day before the anniversary of this day !;
by requesting the park music committee to
arrange an entire patriotic programme on
next Sunday, and also the leaders of the
orchestras of the theaters to introduce
National airs in their programme for the
evening of June II.
The other committees reported every
thing in readiness for the coming celebra-
ton, which undoubtedly will be memoir
able one in the history of the association.

Thus far the committee is a unit in it's
opposition to the heroine of the Woman's
Congress. They believe themselves to have
been insuIted by what they term the "per-

declare that after the ''indelicate' course
pursued by Miss Shaw's admirers she shall
not with their approval participate in their
part of the celebration.

Max M. Friedman, waiter in the Tivoli

o'clock yesterday morning at his home,
SIT Turk street, by shooting himself in the
mouth with small pistol. Friedman
had been i'll for some time past, and that
was the probable cause of his ending his
life. Shortly before o'clock his wife
arose to prepare the breakfast While busy
about the kitchen she heard the report OF
the pistol, and, running to the bedroom,

physician, but nothing could be done for
