House tomorrow or Saturday The meas
ure nay be allowed to lie on the Speaker
table without further cor sideration There
has been some talk among members about
Speaker Reeds Leaving the chair and max
ing a vigorous sound money speech on
the measure. The Speaker has been ad-
vtSed by members to do this, but il Is I'M
derstocd that he has not yet decided to ac-
cept the advice. and may not do So
A common opinion is that there should be
no discussion. and Mr. Reed may deem that
wiser
Line of Argument.
Mr.. Dingley's report will follow prac-
tically the same lines of argument pre-
sentcd by Mr.. Allison, Mr.. Burrows and
other sound money republicans in the SEN

that it is very important that such a
power should be vested in the President as
long as there are outstanding greenbacks
1t further states that the REDEMPTION of
greenbacks could not be made in silver
anyhow. since there is not enough silver
in the treasury for that purpose which
Is not represented by silver certificates or
notes. The amount of silver which might
be used for redeeming greenbacks Is stated
to be about s2SOOO,OOO.
On the subject of the bond issues by Mr.
Cleveland the report will criticise Mr. Cleve-
land for using the power of selling bonds
for purpose other than to provide for

MIR. Vest Against the Filled Chees
Bill.

Mr.. Vest spoke in opposition to the filled
cheese bill. He said the oleomargarine law
had turned out to the benefit Of Messrs.
Nelson, Morris and Armour, who added the
oleomargarne tax to the product sold to
poor people, and this law would operate In
the same way. He had been deluged with
letters, he said, saying: Stamp out filled
cheese or we will stamp you out" but he
did not propose to violate the Constitution
by voting for this bill, even If he might
need a few votes. Mr. Vest proposed two
amendments, VIZ: That the measure
should not be taken to extend the police
power of the federal government so as to
conflict with the police power of the states.
and that SKINNED cheese made from
skim milk be included with filled cheese.
Mr.. Sherman urged that the bill was de-
signed to stop an obvious fraud Cheese
is the product of the COW, but filled cheese
IL the product Of the hog, being made from
lard. He said the oleomargarine law had
worked much benefit.
Mr.. White (Cal.) asked what had become
of certain proposed amendments covering

How the Old Monitor Comanche
Will Be Manned by the
Battalion.
A NEW ENGINEERS DIVISION
With a Modern Battery She Would
Be an Effective Harbor and
Coast Defender.

When the Naval Reserve monitor
Comanche gets steam in her !ong-cold
boilers, and her propeller, motionless for
decade, gets to moving, the militia
sailors of the State of California will be
equipped far in advance of the battalions
of the East. They will have steam
vessel-a fighter, even if an old type
craft-with two 19-ton 15-inch) guns in
her single turret.
1t would hardly be safe to throw her up
against the Monterey, for even if her
armor belt is inches and her turret is 10
inches in thickness (the Monterey's belt
is Ii and her turrets 14), "Big Betsy" and
"Alice" Q2inch rif1es), throwing each $50
pounds of steel urged forward by 425
pounds of powder, wouldn't do thing to
the Naval Reserve boat. Even the two 10
inch rifles in the after turret of the new
coast defender, pitching a 5OO-pound pro-
jectile each, might make affairs painful for
the monitor built Just one-third of CEN
tury ago.
Neither would it be fair for Lieutenant
Commander Turner to rush his flagship
against the Monadnock with her inches
of armor and 1114 inches of turret thick
ness, because those four 10-inch rifles,
which can heave ton of metal at one
battery discharge, might do some damage
and put some of the States naval forces
on the pension list.

THE T|vOLpS CONDUCTOR,
Carl Martens Leaves the Tav.
ary Company for the
Local House..
Was Formerly With Emma Abbott.
Morreale Returns to Man.
ager Pratt.

Carl Martens conducted for the last time
Opera Company. This week he goes tc
the Tivoli, where he has been appointed
successor to Adolph Bauer.
The Tivoli was without . conductor
when Mr.. Martens came here three weeks
ago with the Tavary Company. The man
agement of the local opera-house decided
that the chance OF securing SO well-known
a man was too good one to let slip, and
overtures were at once made to Mr.. Mar
tens to remain in San francisco. The
offer made by the 1ivoli was accepted, aud
two weeks ago Mr.. Martens gave notice to
Manager Pratt of his intention to sever his
engagement with the Tavary troupe at tn.
end of the Baldwin season.
The manager at once telegraphed for
Signor Morreale, who conducted the
Tavary troupe last year; he also happened
to be able to sever his Eastern engage
ment, and arrived here on Saturday even
ing. Tonight, at San Jose, Signor Nor
reale will resume the baton of the Tavary
Opera Company.
Carl Martens, who goes to the Tivoli, is
thoroughly well known in his profession.
He is Emma Abbott's old director, and her
company always met with success under
his leadership. In the Tavary troupe he
has been very popular with his orchestra
On Saturday proof was given of the
good will which his men bear him by a
presentation and speech. At the end OF
the first act of Carmen" at the matinee,
Carl Martens was summoned beneath the
stage, where he found all his orchestra as
sembled. Mr.. Bogard, the drummer,
came forward and in neat speech, made
in French. expressed the regret felt by the
musicians in parting with their con.
ductor, and presented a baton to Mr.
Martens as souvenir of their regard.
The baton, which was entirely the gift oil
the orchestra, is a very handsome one
The stick IS composed of ebony and the
Ahead is of solid wrought GOLD. AT the end
is engraved Carl Martens monogram, one
The San Francisco call., 1896-02-24

side of the head bears the inscription: "To
Carl Martens, director of the Tavary Opera
Company" The reverse side of the baton
is engraved with the words, San Fran
cisco, season 1896"
The Tavary orchestra said its final fare
well to the conductor at banquet which
he rendered his men last night when Carl
Martens health was drunk with many ex-
pressions of regret at his leaving.
There is no doubt about the ability of
the Tivolis new conductor. He is well
known in his profession and has time and
time again proved his power to direct
opera to the entire satisfaction of critical
audiences. During the season which has
Just ended at the Baldwin Mr.. Martens
has scarcely put forth his best efforts It
is stated that he was discouraged by in
ternal dissensions in the company. Guile
has been featured to an extent which has
caused heart-burnings and wranglings
among the rest of the troupe. Guile is
said also to have more caprlces than all
the prima donnas combined.
The opera of "Aida" is quoted by GuiIle's
adversaries as case in point. The spec
tacular work suits the tenor's voice and
both in the City of Mexico and in San
Francisco it was put on as the attraction
of the opening night, at Gullie's DESIRE
On both occasions he refused to sing
shortly before the performance, and on
both occasions a quasi-tlasco ensued.
Whether these little difficulties have af-
fected Mr.. Martens conducting or not, it
is well-esta blished fact that he met with
brilliant success as the director of the
Emma Abbott company, and that though
his handling of the Tavary company met
with praise, be is capable of doing better
work

true and are acknowledged by thousands
to-day.
"No one except a man of God could have
done what Joseph Smith did. He trans
lated and published the Book of Mormon,
which gives the social and intellectual
status, also the laws and doings of the
people on this continent.
"Joseph's followers were humble people
but they always rallied around him in
hours of trouble.
Joseph Smith certified to the world the
truthfulness of his conviction and he be-
lieved the Mormon records to be true as
much as he believed that he lived.
''Whiie Brigham Young was once the
most unpopular man of the United States,
now he is looked upon as a most re-
markable man because of the great work
he did in establishing the Mormon colony

gets.
twenty-five determined marksmen put In
an appeara nee at the California Schuetzen
Club Park yesterday afternoon to take
part in the second monthly shoot for Mr..
Schuman's diamond medal. The weather
was perfect for the marksmen, but verv
few spectators were in attendance. Those
who were, however, were enthusiastic
hackers for the shooters and made the oc.
casion lively one.
The rifle contest was at 200 yards, shoot
ing at rest. Each marksman had ten shots
at 25-ring target and had possibility of
making score of $50. The highest score
was 232, made by Otto Burmeister. This
was not unusually high, but no twelve
mem bers made scores Of over 200. The day
was considered good one.
Following is the score for the rifle con.
test OF members who made over 200: Otto

The pistol contest for Schuman's gold
medal was not very exciting as only few
members took part. The contest was ten
off-hand shots at a 25-ring target. Philo
Jacoby made the highest score. He got
BOG out of a possible $50, and j. 3. Turner
came next with only 109. The othe,
scores were unusually low.

day.
Eastern Dogs Won the Bulk of the
Money at Newark - The

Pleasant weather and the prospect OF
seeing lot of high-ciass dogs chase the
elusive jacks conspired to draw a large
crowd of coursing men to Ocean View
Park yesterday and none left disappointed
at the quality of the sport. The hares
were in fine fettle and led the dogs long
luns in most of the events. The enthusl-
asts were in a mood for specializing ana
the poolbox did big business in conse-
quence.
Two stakes, the regular and an eight-dog

the former and Lord Clifton the latter. In
the si1teen-dog stake the run down re-
suited as follows:

The second day of the Interstate Clubs
meeting at Newark resulted in some good
coursing, the Mulcaster dogs-Kirk Glen
and Fear Not-demonstrating their su-
periority by winning the bulk of the money.
The semi-final was between Fear Not
and Lady Fitzgerald, and Dillon's clever
bitch held the Eastern flyer SO close that
! only point divided their scores when
puss was killed. Her performance stamps
her as a remarkable hound.
| AS the final would come between Kirk
Glen and Fear Not Mr.. Mnlcaster decided
not to run them, as the former dog was
| much exhausted, having coufsed and
killed three hares the last time he was
| slipped. The first and second prizes, ag-
gregating $204, were accordingly divided
| by the two hounds. Lady Fitzgerald took
| third prize, $36.
| The finish Of the puppy stakes resulted
