OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, |
9OS Broadway, August "a.


Tomorrow morning Rev. J. K. Mclean
the First Congregational Church of Oak
land. He will formally sever his connec-
ton with the church, of which he has been
pastor for nearly twenty-five years, at the
short-vesper service in the evening, when
he will make a short speech.
For several years past DR.. Mclean has
been president of the Theological Seminary
in this city and has given only part of
his time to church duties, having two as
sistants to aid in carrying on the work.
Several months ago he deemed it wise to
tender his resignation as pastor, and with
much regret the resignation was accepted.
Although DR.. Mclean will no longer be
identified with the First Congregational
Church he Is not to be lost to Oakland.
He viii Immediately enter upon the duties
of pastor of the Plymouth Congregational
Church, to which passionate he was called
soon after it was made known that he
would be disengaged. This minor engage
ment will not interfere with his duties as
president of the Theological Seminary.
Special preparations are being made by
Choir Director Benham for the rendition
of an unusually fine song service on Sun
day evening.
Much interest is being shown in Or. Nc
Leans successor, whoever it may prove to
be. 1t was reported yesterday that a
choice had been made, but DR.. Mclean de-
MED the report tonight.

making overtures In conjunction with the
trustees regarding a successor to myself,
but nothing is decided upon as yet. We
are corresponding with an Eastern pastor,
but those most concerned are pledged to
secrecy until choice is made, and that
will not be just yet. We are not extending
a call to any one; we are merely making
overtures The last man we corresponded
with was lost on account of publicity. and
Judge Haven also refuses to divulge a
word regarding his plans.

Auditor Snow is anxiously waiting 1or
the result of the bond election next Satur-
day. If the refunding proposition Is
beaten the Auditor does not see any way
out of the difficulty except OF providing 1or
it in the tax levy and cutting down IN
every direction. If the refunding IS de,
feated the city cannot undertake any Klilu

Shows arguments.
The measure requires a two-thlrds' vote
to pass, and was beaten about one year
ago. At that time but little attention was
paid to it and only very small vote was
polled. Now the matter Is being fully
published and discussed, and every voter
is acquainted with the status OF the ques-

there is not q dollar of a sinking fund to
pay it with. Should the proposition fail
an addition of 30cents viii need to be made

DEATH OF 1GNAo1o PERALrA.

A Descendant of an Ancient Spanish
Family Passes Away.
The death of Ignacio Leandro Peralta
occurred at San Leandro yesterday. The
deceased young man was only 81 years of
age, but had been seriously i'll for more
than four months, and his death was not
unexpected. He was the son of Jose
Jesus Peralta and grandson of Don Ignacio
Peralta, the latter one of the four brothers
who formerly held the famous grant from
the King of Spain, of which the site Of
Oakland was once part. He was born in
San Leandro, and was educated there
until he went to Santa Clara College, from
which institution he was graduated. He
leaves wide circle of friends.
The funeral will take place from the
home of his mother, Mrs. Eleanor ].
Haney, next Monday morning. Services

PINE UNDER HEAVY PREssuRE.--A block
of Oregon pine has been sent to New
York museum that was cut from the
middle of an upright which formed part of
the sub-service imbering of the Comstock
mines for twelve years. The block affords
an interesting illustration of the effect OF
heavy pressure on woody fiber. 1t is so
hard that it cannot be cut with knife and
one of it's sides is polished. Yellow pine
from the lower level of the Comstock has
been so compressed from the enormous
superincumb bent weight that its density
and weight exceeded those of lignum vitae.

not pay the interest on our debt. Let
as square up and lift the mortgage.

Whatever differences of opinion there
may be among republicans concerning
the silver problem, it can safely be left
to the national convention to settle. In
the counsels of its wise leaders, who
have solved more difficult problems, this
one will find its solution. The republi-
can party can rest confident in the abil-
ity of its leaders to guide the party
safely through the intricate channels in
spite of false beacons and deluding sig
nails set up to betray it to its death. We
do not pretend to say what action will
be taken, but we have an abiding faith
in the leaders of the party in convention
assembled to hit upon the right course.
The issue is made, not between the par
ties, but between the factions of the
parties. Grant wisely said that "the
democracy could be depended upon to
do the wrong thing at the right time, -
and we believe the republican party can
alec be depended on to do the right
thing at the right time.

The water commission has ordered
that the rules concerning the use OF
water for irrigation be printed and
posted upon the gates of consumers, SO
that all may understand what the rules
are. This has been done as ordered.
The great waste of water heretofore, and
the limited supply make the enforce
ment of these rules absolutely neces-
sary. All consumers will please take
notice of these regulations, and in case
of violation of the rules. the water will
be at once shut off and a charge of 81
will be made before again making the

We DID NOT WANT IT.

1t is reported that English investors
are beginning to buy American securi-
ties again, through ]. P. Morgan & Co. ;.
OF the bond-buying syndicate. English
capitalists must buy something or go
without the interest they love SO well, +,
and they have probably discovered the
fact that there is much smaller loss
upon Investments in the United States
than in any other part of the world.
When American corporations began to
go into receivers hands, after the de-
structive crash in Argentina and Aus
tralia, the English investors looked for
the same results here, and fastened to
sell. Since then they have sunk enor-
nous sums in Africa, where they took
their money next, and now they dis
cover that the American securities they
sent home are beginning to be worth
more than they sold them for. Natur-
ally they are inclined to reinvest. If
we had sense enough to put our finances
on sound basis, we could get plenty of
money from Europe Oregonian.
We do not want any money from En-
rope IN the shape of investments or
loans. We want money enough of our
own, and if our industries will not thrive
without it, let them wait until they can.
We have always been debtor nation,
and it is high time it be stopped. This
country now owes, in one way or an
other, 5000, ,OOO, 900. the interest on
which. at a conservative estimate, is
500. 900, 600 annually. This is drain
enough, and instead Of increasing it, we
ought to decrease it. All the gold and
silver produced in this country would
