suit against DIR. Foute and the officers of
the church for violation of contract.
Il have been shamefully treated in this
matter" said Mrs. Westwater, at her resi-
dence, 1926 Eddy street. last night. "Dr
Foute deliberately violated his contract
made with me five years ago, when 1 ac-
copied his proposition to sing contralto in
the Grace Church choir. Itwas mutually
agreed that in the event of my services
being no longer required was TO receive
six months notice. In case l desired to
sever my connection with the church
was likewise to give notice six months in
advance"
Mrs. Westwater stated with emphasis
that she would make fight for her rights
in court. She considered that her dis
missal in the way it was done injured her
reputation as singer in this city.
at is my opinion, resumed she, that
was the victim of conspiracy, entered
into by DIR. Foute and the musical commit
tee, to secure my dismissal. Until last
October, when Mrs. Noble of Stockton was
chosen as soprano by Mr.. Foute, l had no
serious cause for complaint of my treat
ment. That lady is an intimate friend of
Mrs. Will Crocker's, and from the first she
did not like me. She had a lordly way

white navy, and the SCOTS look with
special pride on their last product, ye
they have strong and lingering affection
for the Charleston, which was their frs
experiment, and which has seen more rea
service up to date than any other member
of the new navy.
She has been in the atmosphere Of
wars, if not an active participant, all the
way from Rio de Janeiro to China, and has
been of incalculable benefit to our COM
merce in foreign ports from moral point
of view.
The San Francisco was a somewhat
larger enterprise, which was also success,
and then came another experiment in the
shape of the coast-defense vessel Monterey,
and that has fulfilled all expectations.
The Olympia is the fourth jewel in the
diadem of the Union Iron Works or
rather the fourth one of our babies,' as
Irving NJ. Scott puts it.
Soon the great battle-ship Oregon will be
ready to go into commission, and then the
Pacific Coast alone will have turned out a
navy that could have destroyed all the
war vessels of the North and South en-
ployed in the recent rebellion in very short
order.
When the Olympia was about to be taken
from her moorings at the iron works there
was quite little crowd present, as well as
a delegation of naval men from Mare
Island.
The cruiser looked as clean as if she had
just come out of bath. Her brasswork
glowed under the bright rays of the sun,
her decks were clean enough to eat from,
and the six and eight inch guns had been
FURNISHED and housed with their neat can
vas covers.
1t required three big tugs to take the
monster on her journey to the hayward.
The first to lay hold of her was the Vigil
ant, which swung her head out and
towed her clear of the wharf, when the tugs
Active and Alert fastened on to either side.
1t was rather queer sight to see the
three little fellows graphing with the
glittering white fighter, which was so help
less without men or steam-power.
She took her departure amid the blow
ing of whistles, huzzas of spectators and
the waving of handkerchiefs. The three
strong tugs fairly scooteds along with her
through the water, passing in quite close
along the wharves, where she was greeted
with other salutes.
A run was made in the direction of Alca-
traz, and the course taken thence to the
yard, where it is expected she will be able
to go in commission within about month.
This is provided the requisite crew of $50
men can be secured, and that will be a hard
matter, as the 5000 men allowed the navy
by act of Congress are all employed. She
may have to wait until 1000 more are al
lowed by an act which is now proposed.

| that occurred among the Democrats dur
ing the last campaign. The facts as they
| were CLEANED last night among the Demo-
cratic warehouses;, who nightly assemble
around the Baldwin Hotel, are that during
the height of the campaign Chairman
Gould of the Democratic State Central
Committee, being sorely pressed for money
to pay bills, thought that Mr.. McGlade,
who was on the ticket and who at the same
time was receiving large salary as book
keeper for the Street Department in. this
city, should pay his assessment like the
other candidates. He sent for the young
giant and delicately suggested cash. Nc
Glade's language was more emphatic than
polite, and leading Democrats say he told
the chairman that he would not give cent
of his money to the committee, nor did he
during the campaign.
The workers say that McGlade knew bet
ter than to spend money trying to elect
Budd. He had trick worth two of that.
He asked Hon. Patrick Reddy for the Job
and he got it.
His appointment, aside from the general
displeasure it has created among the
Democratic workers, has drawn notice to
the Unsuitable demands that Mr.. Reddy has
made upon the Governor. Nobody blames
him for exerting all the ''pull" he has, but
the fact remains that his pull seems I'M
limited. The first place secured by him
was that of Mr. Drew as stenographer in
the Governors office. He then suggested,
quite successfully, Mr.. Hinton for Regis
trar. Next he demanded that McGlade be
made chief deputy. He then had McGlade
secure two places under him in the Office
one for a man named Beaufeld and
another Job for a person named Flynn
and he is also said to be responsible for the
demand that Martin Kelly's son be APP
pointed. Reddy himself is slated for
Prison Director and one of his partners for
Fish Commissioner, and there are a num-
Der of back counties yet to hear from.
People are asking what all this means.
Diligent inquiry failed to elicit the fact that
he was a large contributor to Mr.. Budd's
campaign. True Reddy made speech to-
ward the end of the campaign, which, the
Democrats say, made Mr.. Estee's friends
feel much better; but taken all together,
this does not explain his great influence
with the administration. Some people
think that Mr.. Reddy should have done
all the voting in convention and on cleo
ton day, and himself personally should
have paid all the campaign bills in order
to justify his present success. Daggett of
the mint, O. M. Welburn and John Wise.
with other large financial contributors.
are looking on aghast. And the consensus
of opinion is that the Buggy bill for State
building in San Francisco is quine unneces-
sary, as Mr.. Reddy's own office makes an
excellent San Francisco agency for the
State capital and the administration.

". W. FOOTE WAKES WARM
He Scores an Attorney in the TObin
Case.
Endeayors to ImpHte Personal Feeling

DiSagreeS.

The case of Mrs. J. J. Tobin took on a
At no time has it been particularly sensa-
tional, but it rapidly developed that quail
ity when w. w. Foote started in to argue
in defense of the Bloodhorse Association,
t. H. Williams, its president, and Captain
Callundan, the special officer.
Matt Sullivan led up to the proceedings
when he repeated the statements made by
CASTOR Ashe to the effect that Williams
was a sure-thing gambler, blackmailer
and a perjurer. This testimony Mr.. Foote
took up before he had been arguing more
than five minutes. Mr.. Ashes testimony,
opinion of single man, and showed that
man to have deep hatred of Mr.. Will
Hams. Mr.. Ashe had volunteered his SER
vices in the case, Mr.. Foote said, and in do
ing so had done what no other self-respect-
ing lawyer would have allowed himself to
do. He had descended to the practices
and had played the part of Police Court
Shyster when he sees row. He went in
at once and solicited the services of a
prosecutor of the case, and when he was
refused the position he volunteered as a
witness. He was moved by two motives,
said counsel-frst by his cupidity, in order
to speculate on the alleged wrongs of the
plalntlff, and again by his desire for re-
venge.
"He is disgrace to the legal profess
sion" said Foote, .this volunteer attor-
ney and ready-made witness. He says
too, that Williams committed perjury in
the Geraldine case. Well, it may be that
one of the Ashe family will be behind the
prison bars for perjury before that Geral-
dine case is over"
There was considerable more in this
strain, nor did Foote handle the plaintiff
herself in very gentle way. The burden
OF his argument, however, was that she
was in the betting ring, a place where
women were forbidden by the track rules
to enter, and that she should have gone
out when ordered to do SO. Had she re-
ceived any injuries by reason of such re-
fusa1 it was her own fault.
Counsel for plaintiff closed, the argument
being mainly upon the proposition that
ticket of admission entities the holder,
were it man or woman, to go anywhere
the general public is allowed. The case
went to the jury after half an hours in
struction from the court.
The jury failed to agree upon verdict
and was discharged.

Gwynn. These ladies were appointed at
the suggestion of the rector, Rev. R. c.
Foute, about four weeks ago, and almost
the first thing they did was to send Mrs.
Westwater this note, through their chair
man, Mrs. Croker:

Mrs Eunice WeStlUdter-DEAR MADAM: At a

greatly surprised Mrs. Westwater and
nearly made her i'll. She sought in vain to

something of a reformer himself. He is a
shining light in the Single Tax Society,
and when he is not talking or thinking re-
form he is generally asleep. The old gen.
tleman resides in Martin Kelly's district,
and, although his memory may not be
very good, it still goes back to the time
when Martin Kelly was political boss;
to the time when political rottenness, from
the stuffing of ballot box at primary to
the handling of Board of Supervisors or
Legislature, was his regular occupation.
Registrar Hinton has talked the matter
over with his friends, who are largely in
! the ascendant in the various reform socie-
ties in this city. These kind friends, of
course, have logged the old gentleman's
memory where in any respect it was de-
ticient as to Martin Kelly's previous
shortcomings. The result is mighty roar
in the sacred circles of reform has gone up
and Thomas Kelly has not yet been APP
pointed.
Some of the reformers are advising the
Registrar to surrender his commission
rather than surrender to this demand of
the Governor.

argued that while talk of fraud and ballot
stealing and changing is rife, to put

dalous.

was no question but that his client had
been unjustly treated.

as | am informed, and those not in the
swim get the worst of it. Mrs. Westwater
endured a great deal in her five years con-
nection with the church, but her dismissal
in the way it was done is a gross violation
of her contract with DR.. Foute. That she
has been the victim of some ones malice
cannot be denied"
Mrs. Westwater has numerous friends in
the congregation of Grace Church who are
protesting against her dismissal. These
are greatly in the minority, however, but
some of them have sufficient influence to
make their opposition felt. 1t is likely,
therefore, that the affair will furnish food
Tor gossip for some time to come.

The aristocratic congregation of Grace
Episcopal Church on California street is in
a fever of excitement because of the recent
action of the musical committee in dis
missing Mrs. Eunice Westwater, the we'll
known contralto, who has sung in that
sacred edifice for five years past. What
renders the excitement more intense is the
rumor that Mrs. 'Westwater will refuse to
silently suffer summary dismissal and as
sert her right by suit in court.
The musical committee of the church is
composed of Mrs. VIII Croker, chair
man, Mrs. Samuel Wilson and Miss
