JESUIT LIN REPE4LED.

Gpl,nl1Hn.

Gef0tU1ty
BERLIN, Feb. 20.-The resolution provid-
ing for the repeal of the law eXpelling
Jesuits from Germany was read the third
time and passed the Reichstag this after
noon. The passage of the measure was
received with cheers by the members of the
Center or Catholic party. The Conserva-
tives, the members of the Reichspartie and
the National Liberals voted against the
resolution.
1t is not expected, however, that it will
become law, as the Bundesrath which
has heretofore always refused to consent to
repeal of the laws, is not expected to
sanction the resolution. The bill for the
expulsion of the order from Germany was
passed by the Reichstag on June 10, 1872,
by a vote of 131 to SO, and was promulgated
on July 5. The supporters of the measure
based their advocacy of it on the activity
of the Jesuits on behalf of the Papal SUI
premacy.
In December, 1898, Count Hompesch, the
leader of the Center, introduced bill to
repeal the anti-Jesuit laws, which passed
its third reading by small majority, but
the Federal Council failed to give effect to
the repeal.

o aid to the treasurer. That was adopted
Samuel NJ. Shortridge now moved that
the eleven names suggested by the COM
mittee in its report to serve as directors for
the first year be declared the nominees for
the offices. He so nominated them.
Ballots with the names of the candidates
upon them were distributed, and as the
name of the shareholder was called the tell
ers took the vote.
The tellers as announced by Chairman
Spreckels We're: T. W. Van Sicklen, B. f.
Durham and O. D. Baldwin.
As the first vote was called and cast,
"Claus Spreckels, 5000 shares" there was
another burst of applause, and this was
frequently repeated as weli-known names
of workers and contributors were called.
Prolonged applause greeted the secretary
repeated CALI of a lady subscriber 1.-TWO
votes, fully paid up" The only lady stock
holder observed to be present was Alice
Ann Clark who had subscribed unsolicited
$4,000.
The vote cast represented 1885 shares
and they chose the eleven already named.
This ended the business of the day, but
then began the series of resolutions, this,
the first, presented by Frank Johnson:
WHEREAS, The subscribers to the stock of
the San Francisco and San Joaquin Railroad
here assembled recognize the commanding in
fuence amounting to leadership which has
been exercised by Claus Spreckels in bringing
success TO this great enterprise. Therefore, be it
Res0tred, That his absence from this meeting
is unanimously regretted.
Resolved, That TO Claus Spreckels we send
greeting and good cheer, with the assurance
that we will second his endeavors in every way
possible.
Mr. Gerstle presented resolution ex-
pressing the thanks of the stockholders
and the appreciation of the efforts of Presi-
dent Isaac Upham and the members of the
executive committee of the Traffic Associ-
alton in behalf of the valley road. 1t was
adopted.
Four of the eleven directors, it may be
well to note, are members of this busy
Traffic Association: Isaac Upham, Robert
Watt, Alvinza Hayward and Thomas
Magee.
Resolutions were also adopted thanking
Chairman Spreckels, Secretary Preston, the
press and other men and agencies that
helped along the grand cause.
Not until everything had been said and
done that could be thought of to vent its
feeling did the great meeting adjourn.
1t was great day for the railroad-but
when one speaks of the railroad nowadays
1t means the San Francisco and San JOAQUIN
Valley.
The following payments on the first
instailment of 10 per cent of the valley
road subscriptions were paid in at the
Bank OF California yesterday: Z. j. Dona-
hue, $1,000; Joseph A. Donohoe, $500;

suggested for his place. The choosing of
the Bank of California as temporary treas
urer was accompanied by applause, and
the election of the board OF directors by a
vote representing nearly Is goo shares was
given prolonged round of applause.
Not content with all this, the fervor of
the affair not having been worked off, a
series of resolutions was adopted one after
another, thanking everybody who had
anything to do with bringing about the
contamination of the day, and a special
one was adopted sending greeting to and
regretting the conspicuous absence of Claus
Spreckels.
Claus Spreckels, the head and front of
the affair and who was expected to preside,
was i'll and unable to be present. John D.
Spreckels was chosen to act for him and
did so, presiding during the meeting and
voting his 5000 shares of stock.
The meeting was called to order by
Charles Holbrook, who announced briefly
its object. The fact that Claus Spreckels
could not be present was made known and
Lewis Gerstle's motion that John D. be
made chairman was carried and Z. F.
Preston was upon motion of w. f.
Whittier and by an undivided vote made
secretary.
Mr.. Spreckels did not attempt a speech.
He simply thanked those present for max
ing him chairman of a meeting that must
forever figure as most important mile
post in the history of California. He
briefly restated its purpose and called upon
the secretary to read the report of the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Preston read as follows:

Alexandria.
LONDON, Feb. PA dispatch to the
Times from Cairo says: The menacing
aspect of affairs in Alexandria continues to
occupy public attention. Threats of venge-
are freely uttered. A change of the garri-
son that has just occurred is considered to
favor the chances of public disturbance
while the large influx of Bedouins in the
outskirts of the city during the last few
weeks is regarded as disquieting feature
All these symptoms wildly recall those
that heralded the massacres in 1882. For
some time past one of the Khedive's pro-
teges, whose patriotism has been stimn-
lated by dismissal from the Government
service, has been busy among the Bedouins
distributing khedival largesse and recruit
ing bodyguard for the Khedive's person.
That the dangerous agitation has been
artiilclally provoked is evident from the
contrast Alexandria presents TO the COM
plete tranquility and contentment prevail
ing throughout the rest of Egypt since the
formation of the Ministry of Nubar Pasha.
