Father Lagan So Refers to ST. Clair
Execution From the
Pulpit.


Father Hugh Lagan of San Rafael, who
attended Murderer st. Clair on the scaffold
at San Quentin on the 18th inst, created a
sensation by referring to the case from his
pulpit last Sunday. He asked the prayers
OF his congregation for the repose of the
murderer'S soul and then said:
The execution of St Clair may characterize
as a Judicial murder, and believe him to be
| the first innocent man ever hanged at San
Quentin.
1 believe that the crime was fastened upon
st. Clair as the result of conspiracy of race
and religious hatred. Out of seventeen on
| board the bark Hesper they were all Scandi-
navians but two. Fitzgerald, the mate, and St.
Clair were Irishmen. Fitzgerald was retained as
an officer because of his great ability, but they
hated an Irishman, and would not allow one on
| board among the men, so St. Clair shipped
under an assumed name. When Fitzgerald
soon found out ST. Clair's nationality they
became fast friends. This also created jealousy,
and conspiracy was formed among four of
! them to put the mate to death and fasten the
crime upon St Clair, who was in fact asleep
when the thing was done and knew nothing
at all about it. st. Clair would certainly have
had no object in killing the man who was his
friend, and indeed the only friend he had on
board.
On Thursday received letter from Father
Hugh Gallagher of San Jose saying that if
Hansen could be induced TO tell all he knew
he could clear ST. Clair. l went into Hansen's
cell and begged him to tell the truth and save
ST. Clair. Hansen's only reply was, Gather,
II you don't want me to tell you lies you had
better say no more about it," That was the
only answer | could get from him.
ST. Clair died protesting his innocence, and
l do not believe it is possible for Catholic to
receive the last sacrament and go into eternity
with perjury on his soul. Certainly this man
stood too much in fear of God to do it.
make this statement because l think 1t is
due TO this mans memory.

THE TRADES COUNCIL.
1t Declined to Wholly Indorse the
Action of the Railroad Com
mfssfoners.

The San Francisco Trades Council took
a stand upon the subject of railroads and
the Railroad Commissioners at it's meeting
ceived from the Sacramento Federated
Trades requesting the council to indorse
a resolution passed by the federation COM
mending the action of the Railroad Com
missioners in reducing the Southern
Paciic's freight rates. The resolution
further sets forth that the Commissioners
have fulfilled their obligations to the
public.
These laudatory sentiments drew out a
protest from several members of the coun-
Gil who argued that such was not the case.
The secretary explained that recently a
number Of employees of the rail-
road in Sacramento, Los Angeles and
other places had passed resolutions
condemnlng the Commissioners for
making the reductions, and claiming
that they, the railroad employees,
voiced the sentiment of organized labor
The secretary denied that these sentiments
were Endorsed by organized labor. particu-
larly when so many of those who passed
the resolution were the very men who took
the places of the strikers i'll the last big
strike. He added that the Sacramento
Federation's purpose in passing the reso-
luton in hand was to emphasize a denial
that the railroad employees resolution
voiced organized labor.
The council was willing to trip up the
railroad employees, but would not go to the
point of throwing bouquets to the Railroad
commissioners, but passed compromise
resolution:
! WHEREAS, Certain persons in various parts
OF the State have been circulating petition in
the form OF protest against the action of the
Railroad Commissioners in reducing freight
rates upon the Southern Pacific, claiming to
represent the voice and sentiments of organ
lied labor.
Resolved That according to the knowledge
and on behalf of the San Francisco Labor
Council these men did not in any manner pre-
sent the views of organized labor and had no
sanction in such regard; and
RESOLVED, That we recognize the justice and
necessity of lower railroad rates and trust our
Railroad Commissioners and our courts will
grant the relief in this direction so urgently
needed by the agricultural and mercantile in
terests of our State.
The Journeymen Coopers' Union was adj
mitted into the Trades Council. The

MINIATURE MEXICAN WAR,
Followers of Saint Teresa En-
deaVor to Rescue Prison.
erS in a Town.
Troops Are Ordered to the Scene to
Preserve Order and Arrest
the Leaders.

GALVESTON, TEX. April "A letter
to the News from Preside, Tex, on the
Rio Grande, tells of an incipient insurrec-
ton among Mexican fanatics. The trouble
which has been brewing among the Mexi-
cans on the border over the person known
as saint Teresa" who claims power to
perform miracles, broke out again this
week. Saint Teresa has been declared to
be man and therefore fraud, the more
ignorant of the Mexicans being greatly
stirred up about the matter.
The miniature revolution which took
place at Mulatto has eliminated at Oil
mango, Preside del Norte, Mexico. The
prisoners taken at Mulatto were placed in
Jail at Ojinango, the hunchback leader of
the Saints" party demanding the surren-
der of the prisoners, and upon being refused
he sent word to Ojinango that he would
use force to obtain them. The hunchback
started with an armed force of $50 men.
The authorities. hearing of his approach,
started force to meet him, and in the
fight which ensued, which was kept up un-
til dark, eight were reported dead on both
sides and several wounded. The authori-
ties retreated to Ojinango and the hunch-
back remained outside the walls of the
city, threatening for three days. Dim
ango is in a state of siege, the women and
children have crossed the Rio Grande into
Texas for safety.
To-day fifty gendarmes will concentrate
at Ojinango and by tomorrow troops from
Chihuahua will be on the scene of action.

will start for Nicaragua within: two weeks,
as it is realized the time at its disposal is
short, when the work to be done lis con-
sidered.. Major Ludlow probably will be
the president of the commission by virtue
of his brevet rank.of. colonel. HE is in
London on duty as a. military attache of
the American. embassy, and it is believed
his thorough acquaintance with the Brit
ish view of the canal project viii be of
value to the commission. ~:' =:
He will be instructed by cable to take the
first. steamer for the United States and
come to Washington. The commission
will organize ain outline of its plan of oper-
atoms, and then go to New York, where
thorough examination will be made of the
details of the survey and working plans of
the canal company, with the purpose of
saving time and work III the field.
Returning to Washington, the commits
sion will receive formal instructions
from the Secretary of State, then proceed
to Mobile and sail on the United States
steamer Montgomery for Greytown, at the
eastern terminus of the canal:
The season will not be we'll suited to the
field work, as there is always an abundance
of rain to be expected in the summer
months, and the party will have to rough
it. principally on the east side, where the
swamp jungles are impossible on horse
back and there are no roads
The canal company, however, is doing
what it can to facilitate the labors of the
commission, and has already sent ordersto
Greytown to put laborers to work chopping
away the jungle from the canal route.
1t is believed with average weather the
commission can complete the work in Mic
aragua in about two months and be back
in the United States ready to: begin COM
piling its report, which must be ready by
next November.
