The result of battle between Mar
shall and Farragher, in the event that
,hey are matched. would be matter of
conjecture. The cOlored boy Is un-
doubtedly the more clever of the two,
AID for that reason. if for no other, he
would probably be selected by most per
sons as the favorl.e. But favorites do
NOT always win, and it would be far
from surprising if the Youngstown boy
would add another to his string Of vic
tories. He has wonderful nerve and
capacity TO stand or inflict punishment.
l., would be a contest between science.
and science only, on tle one side, and
brute strength and endurance on the
other, and it is a toss UP as to which
would win. The Metropolitan Club VIII
hold a meeting this week, and will prob
ably decide to again enter the lists as
patrons of boxing, and il is possible THAI
the next contest to take place under the
auspices of the organization VIII have
Farragher and either Plante or Marshall
as the stellar attractions.

They were six lively days in Ffstiana'
There were not any contests of note but
the discussions and bluffs OF several
weeks crystallized into something tan
gfble. and several interesting bouts are
promised for the near future. First Is
the big battle for the heavy weight SUI
premacy between Maher and Fitzsim-
mons. which now begins TO look IKE

advanced that both men have placeu
their signatures to articles of agreement
and Fitz has deposited the Sl'ooo requt-
ed of him as an evidence of good talth'
Maher will cover this money on Thurs-
day of this week, and then 1t may be ex-
pected that the machinery will start the
fans going, and Mexico and Southern
Texas will become the center OF high

points of the compass. These disturb

is a genuine battle, and the champion

Some Of the lesser lights IN the pro-
fession have been trying hard to get on
matches during the week, and among the
number Farragher and Jerry Marshall,
both of whom are we'll known TO Wheel
ing lovers CT the art. The head of the
youngstown boy has not been swelled
apparently by his easy victories before
the Metropolitan Athletic Club, as he is
not overly anxious to go against jerry
Marshall 1t is very probable that Far
ragher s willing to mount to the top OF
the ladder by advancing round by round.
II is true that his victories over Parry
and Gallagher place him in Marshall 5
class. but it is likely that he is anxious
to try something easier, and get what
revenue attaches to victory, before going
against what at the least IS a very
doubtful game. Farragher should tigh,
Plante first, and then tackle the sturdy
little colOred fellow.

ward in the hope that he might possibly
accomplish coup and enable Casin to
get back his $500, 900.
Ecuadoran politics have entered some
what into the Ezeta expedition owing to
the revolution in progress in that republic
and the friendship a. F. Ballen showed
toward Antonio while the latter was IN
this City. There is a story that Balien
friendship for Ezeta cost him and the
former Ecuador Government several
thousand dollars. 1t is to the effect that
during the last revolution Ballen was in
structed to look out for shipments OF arms
and that money was sent to pay whatever
detectives were necessary, Ezeta by some
process becoming suddenly possessed or
financial windfaIl. Ballen was then
Ezeta's general factotum and was pro-
missed the consulship and general purchas-
ing agency at this City for Salvador in the
event of the overthrow of Gutierrez
The belief has been expressed that as an
alternative hope of Casin and Ezeta they
might go to Ecuador from Panama and
take hand in the revolution there.

KNIGHTS ATTORNEYSH|P.
The Legality Of His Position
Argued in the
Courts.
Rights of the Governor to Appoint
Counsel for the Board
of Health.

The contest of Denis Spencer for the
position now occupied by George A.
Knight as attorney for the Board of Health
came up on demurrer before Judge Seawell
Yesterday. The demurrer was fled by
the defendant, Knight, to the complaint
of Spencer, and was made on general
grounds.
Ex-Judge J. ]. de Haven appeared for
Mr. Knight, and Carrot McEnerney,
assisted by W. W. Foote, represented Mr..
Spencer.
Judge de Haven opened the argument
with a short explanation of the single
point upon which the defendant III the
suit rested his case.
The statute creating the attorney for the
Board of Health was passed March 81, 1891.
Section-1 reads as follows:
The office of attorney for the State Board of
Health and the Board of Health OF the City
and County of San Francisco is here by created /;
such attorney shall be appointed by the Gov
ernor, and shall hold his office as such attorney
for the term of four years, and until his sue
cessor is elected and qualified.
Judge de Haven argued that the provis-
ion in the law that the attorney should
hold until his successor was elected meant
until he was elected by the people, and as
no eleCtloH Wy Vie peoPio was oVol Aolu,
and as there was no law authorizing one
to be held, Mr.. Knight would continue in
his office indefinitely.
On behalf of Mr.. Spencer, Mr.. McEn-
erney argued, first, that the statute clearly
provided that the Office should be filled by
| appointment by the Governor, and that
the word elected" in the act meant
chosen" or selected" or appointed, as
the case might be, and was only intended
at the expiration of the four years to keep
the incum bent in office until his successor
should be chosen.
1t was next claimed by the plaintiff
| counsel that even if the Legislature did in
tend that the Office should be filled by cleo
ton, the Legislature did not provide
any means for filling it, and that if it did
not provide means for filling it by election,
the Governor would appoint under section
that where no mode is provided by law for
filling the office, the Governor shall be the
appointing power thereto.
The third and last argument upon this
point was that the constitution provided
that the Legislature should never fix the
term of any Office for longer period than
four years, and that law which said a
man should hold four years and thereafter
until the Legislature should by law pro-
vide means of filling the Office by cleo
ton, would be unconstitutional and void
under the decision in People VS.. Perry, 70
CAL, 105. where law fixing the term of the
member of the Board of Health at five
years was held to be unconstitutional.
1t was further argued on Mr.. Spencer's
behalf that the Office was not abolished.
The case was submitted and decision is
expected at an early day.

BISHOP OF THE SOUTH.
The Rev. DR.. Joseph e. johnson OF
Detroit Admirably Fitted for
the Office

The news of the election by the diocesan
convention of Southern California of Rev.
DR.. Joseph B. Johnson Of Detroit, Mich,
for Bishop came in the allure of a pleasant
surprise to those interested in the affairs
of the Episcopalian Church.
DR.. Johnson is described as being a
genial and magnetic gentleman, one who
is admirably fitted for the high office of
Bishop He has filled for number of
years the pulpit of ST. Johns Church in
Detroit.
From ST. Johns Rev. George Worthing-
ton left his pastorship to assume the
Bishopric of Nebraska. The church has
one of the choicest congregations OF any
in that city of churches.
For some time DR.. johnson has been in
delicate health, but is described as man
of great energy in church work. The fact
that Southern California is the dwelling
place of so many Fasteners will make the
new Bishops advent particularly welcome.
The Rev. DR.. Wakefield, rector of Trinity
Church, San Jose, said last evening: "Dr.
Johnson is man that will please the peo-
pie of Southern California perfectly. He
IS very genial and approachable. He
breaches sermons of great persuasive
power and is highly popular in every field
where he has labored."

might make mistakes by SO doing and to
make mistake now would be the gre ltest
error we could commit
Louis Saroni moved that committee of
three be appointed by the chair, that would
first investigate and then formulate plan
of action. The motion was carried and
William II. Bunker, Hugh Craig and 5.
Nlckelsburg were appointed.
81 do not agree with Mr.. Nickelsburg,"
said Mr. Jacobs. that we have quantity
of time ON our hand. I believe that this
organization is similar to those large and
powerful associations of the East, where
so manv commercial pursuits are repre-
scented as unit / believe that the one
who submitted the resolutions was well
informed when he suggested engaging the
services of newspaper man, for nothing
can be successful unless 1t be well ag1tateu.
1.-The conventions meet in June or July
and it is necessary for this committee to
formulate it's lines as soon as possible.
No political party could with policy refuse
the just requests that we might ask, and
it is necessary for US to get In ahead OF
time and then our objects will be at
tained."
1.-THE committee should not scatter its
efforts" said the chairman; "nor should it
go outside the lines of taking Off the bur-
dens of shipping and spend too much
time on harbor improvements. We will
be more successful II we concentrate on
one thing"
II believe" said Mr.. Craig, "that the
Instructions in our harbor is matter of
great Importance to shipping. and that
the committee on unspecified matters is
competent TO attend to il"
eve have harbor of immense value"
said Captain Thayer, "but it is being
ruined by system of dredging that has
been going on for some time. Everything
dredged from the harbor is dumped off
Goat Island. This committee Oh inspect
fed matters will have an immense volume
of business to attend to- and | think their
labors should be more definitely stated"
"They can take up any matters at all
affecting the harbor," said Mr.. Parsons,
'but deprecate the assumption OF too
many things at once. 1t would be hard to
pin the committee down to exact latitude,
yet it will from the context be cognizant
of anything pertaining directly to COM
merce, and this, of course, embraces
wide range of subjects"
The meeting was adjourned until next
Thursday afternoon at o'clock. The
members of the four committees will be
appointed by the chairman at future
daue.

pompously remarking. 81 will go and
show the Cubans how to fight" But he
and Quesada quarreled, and Ezeta changed
his mind. Then Quesada went back to
New York, and what was known as the
Cuban Junta" was started there by Jose
MART, ex-President Thomas Estrada
Palma. Gonzalo de Quesada, Benjamin J.
Guerra and others.
Quesada at once became the secretary of
Jose Marti. with whom he was associated
also as one of the editors of Patria, the
journal of the revoiutionists. When
Marti went to Cuba he ordered Quesada to
remain here in charge. General Maxine
Gomez reiterated the command, and after
Marti's death he was practically the chief
of the entire organization of Cuban clubs
in this country.
According to the story an accusation
is said to have been made recently by
the revolutionist generals Maxine Gomez
and Antonio Maceo, for which Editor
Alvarez of the Diario is the authority.
Alvarez gets his information from the
Havana press and states that the charge is
made by Maceo and Gomez that out of the
large sum of $12,000,000 collected by the
''Junta" from Cuban sympathiZers in this
country through the medium of the
various clubs, only 5000 900 has been used
10 supply arms and ammunition to the
fighters for the freedom of the Gem OF
the Antilles This may, however, prove
to have emanated from source close to
General Campos.
The present delegate of the "Junta"-
which is the highest office-is General
Estrada Palma. Palma was the active
supporter of Cespedes, and succeeded the
Marquis of Santa Lucia as President of the
revolutionary counsel on the troubled isle.
He was still President in 1874 when cap
tured by the Spaniards. and when asked
DC ion,
dent of the Cuban Republic.
Quesada is now general secretary of the
organization of Cuban sympathizers. His
colleague, Horatio Reubens, is attorney
for it and Benjamin Guerra is the treas
urer.
1t has been thought that Carlos Ezeta
has been aiding the Cuban revolutionists.
His brother says he fled from Salvador
with 100000 in American gold so he has
money. But Carlos published a notice in
LIE Nouveau Monde in Paris saying that he
was friend of Spain.

Hansen during the daylight of yesterday,
fol last night she was still lying at Mission
street pier No. 2.
That it was the intention to start yester-
day is shown by Manuel Casin's informing
q friendly family that he was going to
leave during the day.
The Salvadoran Government has al
ready been apprised of the Casin-Ezeta
expeditio n, and yesterday a dispatch was
received by General Angel Prieto Alvarez,
the proprietor of the Spanish daily paper,
Diario de California, from President Guti-
errez in cipher. Interpreted it reads:
Our Government has received advices that g
steamer has been chartered in San Francisco to
carry a warning expedition to this republic.
Wish Ezeta and his friend would bring large
quantity OF arms and ammunition.
Evidently Don Antonio is regarded by
Gutierrez as a sort OF Sir John Falstaff.
Editor Alvarez is well informed OF the
movements OF Ezeta and Casin.
What he says of the Sasin expedition IS
that Antonio Ezeta has been an item OF
expense to Casin to the extent OF $50o,OOO,
and that Casin is putting Antonio for

STARTLING STORY ABOUT THE CUBAN JUNTh'

rel with Don Manuel CASH himself. When
Carlos Ezeta, becoming jealous of the per-
sonal financial successes of his brother and
Casln, ordered Casin's arrest, one of the
soldiers who was carrying out the orders
was shot. 1t was then that Don Antonio
relased Casln, laughing in the faces OF the
Judges OF his country, and Casin fed into
Guatemala, cutting the telegraph wires as
he went. So Casin will not intrude too
rashly upon Salvadoran soil.
What makes the alternative designs of
Casin and Ezeta upon Ecuador seem prob
able is the coincidence of the schooner
Una leaving this port few days ago for
Central and South America, via Acapulco,
with enough provisions and stores on
board to last her for two years. She had
as passenger Captain George Mclean
not Alexander Mclean, as reported on the
water front, but his brother-and Captain
Mclean had a crew of Cape Verde Portu-
guese with him, intending to fit out and
put to sea the schooner Nicolini, which is
at Acapulco. Captain Hawkins of the
Una also owns the Nicolini. With the two
schooners loaded with provisions and the
tug Barclay Golden. Casin and Ezeta could
make themselves of service to the revolu-
tionists of Ecuador, if they so desired.
Casln's scheme, recalling by ASSOCIATION
of ideas the young Cuban attorney, Con-
zalo de Quesada, whom Don Carlos Ezeta
employed to go to San Francisco and de-
fend his brother, Antonio, in the Bennlng-
ton affair. has incidentally caused the
startling story to come to light respecting
the Cuban revolution.
During banquet held at the California
Hotel young Quesada wanted Antonio to
go and take up arms IL the Cuban cause.
The latter said he would, somewhat

THE SHOE CAME IN HANDY.
Exciting Struggle in the Re-
ceiving Hospital Inebriate
Cell.
P. P. Murtha, While Suffering From
Delirium Tremens, Attempts to
Commit Suicide.

A weli-dressed man, who gave the name
OF P P. Murtha, and said he was guest
at the Baldwin Hotel, surprised Sergeant
Colby at police headquarters yesterday
morning by asking to be locked up.
II have been drinking to excess" he
said, land as l feel am on the verge of
delirium tremens want to be put where
[ will be out of the way"
The sergeant sent Murtha with a police
man to the City Prison, where he was
booked ''for medical attendance only"
and then taken to the Receiving Hospital
and placed in the inebriate cell.
John Lee, who had accidentally fallen
into the bay from Howard street wharf
Wednesday night, was in the cell recover
ing from his involuntary bath. Murtha
had been in the cell for about an hour
when he unbuttoned his suspenders, tied
them around his neck tightly and then
tied the ends around one OF the bars. Lee
had been doing on his cot, but Murthas
attempt to strangle himself thoroughly
wakened him up. He jumped to his feet
and cut the suspenders just in time, as
Murtha was getting black in the face.
As soon as Murtha recovered his breath
he made a rush at the wall with his head
lowered. Lee grappled with him, and
they wrestled and fought till they fell
Lee on top. Lee, to put an end to the con-
fiict, whacked Murtha over the head with
the heel of his shoe, and he was engaged
in tn at occupation when the stewards and
physicians who heard the noise Of the
struggle in the cell rushed in.
Murtha was wild with delir1um, and he
was locked up in one of the steel cells by
himself and strapped down so he could
not injure himself.
Inquiry was made at the Baldwin Hotel
about Murtha, but no one of that name
had been guest at the hotel, and nothing
was known about him.

The management of the Baldwin Theater
placed that house at the disposal of the
hospital, and yesterday afternoon the
benefit bore fruit to the comfortable sum
of $1l67.
Most of the entertainment yesterday af-
ternoon was contributed by the De Wolf

from "Dr. Syntax" was performed, as well
as the second act from wang" and the
good-sized audience that was present
warmly applauded both excerpts from the

MRS. WHITE SUES.
She Is Indignant at Her Husband s
Remarks and Now Wants


UIVOfCes
Mrs. Chester White, wife of the naval
lieutenant who eloped with a chorns girl a
few days ago, has commenced suit for a
divorce.
Mrs. White was at first inclined to allow
the matter to rest and to let talk of the oc-
curren ce die out, but since then her hus-
band has been talking, and talking, too, in
a way which showed rather the reverse of
remorse for what has taken place, and SO
she has decided to secure divorce from
him.
What made Mrs. White particularly in
dignant was remark of her husband say
ing that she was aware of his intended de-
parture, and that he wrote to her, while on
his way East, a letter such as any husband
would write to his wife.
The divorce is asked on the ground of
desertion.
