FOR REPUBLICAN SUCCESS.
mo Young Mems Republican
League Begins an Active
Career,

The Young Mems Republican League
elected officers for the ensuing year last
evening in Justice Kerrigan's courtroom
and otherwise prepared to cut a leading
Inquire in the Republican campaign.
The body was organized in September
last as the Young Mems Republican Club,
but was reorganized under its present
name recently. The league is made up OF
young Republican business men who are
not practical politicians, but who sre in
terested IN the success of the Republican
party and are ready to actively and en-
Enthusiastically enter into the work of the
campaign. The purposes of the club are
declared to be the advocacy of the princi-
pies OF the Republican party, the encour-
agement OF attendance at primaries and
the protection of the purity of Republican
politics.
The club is ambitious to take position
at the very front of local Republican clubs.
1t now has a membership of 200, which
will be greatly increased This week a
drill corps will be organized, and it Is pro-
posed to finely uniform the entire club.
Permanent and attractive headquarters
Will soon be esta blished down town. Meet
lngs are held every Thursday evening.
The following officers were elected last
evening: President Frank K. Spencer :,
first vice president, George E. Moyniban

tary, +. K. Casey; treasurer, John Louni-

BLANTHER A DESERTER.
Guilty of Treason by Skulking
From the Army of His
Country.

LONDON, ENG, May PA dispatch to
news agency from Vienna says:
Joseph Blanther, the suspected muir
derer of Mrs. Langfeldt of San Francisco,
served first in the Thirty-second Austrian
Infantry, and later deserted from the
Eighty-fifth Hungarian Infantry while q,
Vienna in 1885.
He was sentenced in contumacium on
the charge of outlawry, and a year later
was arrested in Siam, but extradition pro.
ceedings failed to obtain his surrender
and the Austrian authorities have since
been ignorant of his whereabouts.
Blanther claimed. according to San
Francisco dispatches, to have been lieu
tenant in the Austrian army and to have
received at least fonr crosses and decora-
tons of knightly orders. Documents
which seem to bear out his statements
were found among his effects.
The most important of these was a
highly decorated imperial order of Deem
Der 81, 1878, comforting knightbood upon
Joseph Blanther, a first lieutenant in the
Sixty-fifth Austrian Infantry. But the
Austrian War Office states that blanther
only served in the Thirty Austrian
Infantry and EIghty-fifth Hungarian In
fantry.
Blanther appears to have arrived in the
United states about ten years ago and to
have lived In New York, Chicago and in
various places in Florida before going to
San Francisco in February last.

PROSPECTING FOR DIAMONDS.
A Famous Gem Acquired by a South
African Farmer

Early in the year 1867 traveller named
O'Reilly, bound southwark from the
Orange River, rested himself a while at a
farm in the Hope Town district. His host.
one Nickerk, presently brought 10 his
notice some nice looking stones that had
been obtained from the river; and while
examining this collection of pebbles,
OReilly bounced upon the First dia-
mond." This gem he at once took to DR..
Atherstone of Grahamstown, who pro-
nounced it to be worth f500, and this sum
it very soon realized. Naturally, the lucky
wavfarer then fastened back to the spot
where such good fortune had befallen him,
but his subsequent assiduous searches were
unavailing. Some two years now elapsed
without anything momentous transporting.
However, in 1863, Farmer Niekerk ac-
quired from native, for about f4Oo
worth of stock, large diamond which
was readily sold to firm in Hope Town
for $4,000. This famous gem was later
christened, THE Star of South Africa" ,
it weighed eighty-three karats, was esti-
mated 10 be worth f2500o and found n
final restlng-place among the Countess
of Dudley's magnificent jewels.
One of the most peculiar incidents in
connection with the diamond fields is
that, although these early discoveries
were made in the neighborhood OF Hope
Town, no mine has ever been found
there.
The very natural result of the sensa-
tional find" just mentioned was frantic
rush of diggers to the district from all
parts. Careful prospecting demonstrated
later on that diamonds also existed on the
banks OF the Wal River. Consequently
barely a year after the finding of "The
Star of South Africa" no fewer than ten
thousand persons had arrived on the
scene in spite of the dreary, not to say ap-
palling, prospects that confronted them.
Good food and pure waters were unknown
at that time, while shelter from the
scorching sun was mainly afforded by
primitive canvas structures. Many min
ers thus succumbed to pestilence, disease
and sunstroke before they even reached
the threshold of their Ell Dorado. At this
time, however, crime was almost unknown,
partly because the journey from Port
Elizabeth was accomplished in rough bull
lock wagons over frightful roads and occu-
pied about three weeks, at cost of fully
$50 an amount beyond the means of the
lowest class of rogues. Furthermore, the
cost of living was simply prodigious.-

hours instead of nine. This information
caused great satisfaction among the car

THE BREWERY FIGHT.
A Syndicate Brewery Is Probably
Selected for the Boy

Within a week the Brewery Workmen's
Union will probably announce the brew
cry selected to be boycotted. This will be
the first movement in the fight against the
Brewers Protective Association for a rec
ognition of the union.
1t was feared by a number of brewers in
the association that the Enterprise Brew
cry would be selected as the victim by the
union. In fact, the latter had cast its eye
upon this establishment but several mat
tiers induced change in the plan.
One of the prominent union men said
last evening that a brewery has been
selected, but it is not the Enterprise. The
reason the man gave is that this brewery
Is filled with union workmen from the
lowest to the highest position, and
manifested their friendship for the
union, even in the debates of the associa-
ton. 1t is true that it has a large trades
union patronage, and there is no doubt,
the union believes, that this patronage
could be withdrawn in the event of
boycott, yet the idea prevailed that it
would not be fair to strike a friendly
brewery by boycott when there are seve-
raj breweries in the City whose proprietors
are enemies of the union.
1t has been rumored, also, that the
Broadway brewery was slated for the boy
colt, but the union men say that this
brewery bears the same friendly relation
to the union as the Enterprise and the
test will not be made upon it.
From the present appearance it looks as
though the brewery that has been selected
IS one of the syndicate. A blow at one OF
these would have a double effect. 1t is
believed that a boycott placed upon brew
cry outside of the syndicate would cause
the latter to go to the front with the full
support of its wealth. But if a blow is
struck at syndicate brewery the full sup
port of the outside breweries is matter of
question with the union.

Tribute of a Lowly Newsboy
Who Was Overcome by
His Grief.
HIS PoPPIEs AND HIS soBy.
A Wide Circle of Friends View the
Remains-"Petey" at Rest Beside
His Mother

All day Wednesday ana all day Thurs
day there was a steady stream of visitors
to the establishment of Gray & Son, under
takers. Persons of all ages and OF various
creeds. countries and conditions called to
take a last regretful look at the deceased
journalist Henry D. Bigelow.
1t was an uncommonly sorrowful scene
and proved conclusively how dear spot
the dead Bohemian, connoisseur and cpl
cure had filled in the hearts of his numer-
Gus friends and associates.
The obsequies, held yesterday afternoon,
were quiet and modest, with paratively
little conventionality. Pathos, not pomp,
was a distinctive feature of the funeral,
the solemnity of which was not disturbed
by any undue ostentation. The remains
we're lying in handsome rosewood casket
covered and surrounded with roses, vioiets,
Gala lilies, etc. A beautiful wreath of white
roses and carnations was the tribute of the
San Francisco Press Club, and from rela-
tives and friends came choice lot of cut
flowers of many hues and varieties.
The parlors were filed with ladies and gen.
tlemen, among whom were William Keith,
the artist. Fred Marriott, T. J. Flynn, DR..
Lustig, W. E. Dargie, Arthur McEwen, ].
N. H. Irwin, w. F. Bogart, A. E. Gould,
Roger Mayer, Emile lCucuel, A. D. Smith,
Philip Hastings, Robert Duncan Milne,
Lee McGown Jr. and many other men
well known in social and professional life.
The widow, heavily yelled, was present
with her two young sons, George and Fred,
Mrs. Bayliss, her mother, and Miss Maud
Bayliss of Oakland. The father and two
sisters of "Petey" Bigelow reside at Samp-
sons Flat and could not be notified IN
time to arrive in the City. His mother is
dead.
The Rev. Joseph Worcester, pastor of
the Swedenborgian church, read the burial
service and repeated the Lords Prayer.
Then the casket was borne to the waiting
hearse, and followed by mourners and
friends was driven to Laurel Hill Gene
terry, where the body OF "Petey'' Bigelow
was privately and sorrowfully laid to rest
in the grave beside his mother.
1t was the intention of the Press Club to
be represented by paIl-bearers and to con-
tribute some music. but in consequence of
an oversight the idea had to be abandoned.
Apathetic incident that happened yester-
day morning illustrates the popularity of
the deceased. A waif from the streets. a
little newsboy who had known "Petey"
and benefited by his generosity, came
nto the parlors, looked long at the face of
the dead man, laid bunch of esch-
scholtzIa reverently upon the casket and,
sobbing as If his heart would break, walked
slowly out of the door.

Our Duty to Cuba.

This is world of comparative progress,
and freedom from Spain would be to Cuba
a long step in advance on the high road OF
advancing civilization, says Senator Lodge
in the May Forum. The interests of hu-
mainly are the controlling reasons which
demand the beneficent interposition of
the United States to bring to an end this
savage war and give to the island peace
and Independence. No great nation can
escape its responsibilities. We freely
charge England with responsibility for
the hideOus atrocities in Armenia. But it
is the merest cant to Go this if we shirk
our own duty.
We have responsibility with regard to
Cuba. We cannot evade it, and if we seek
to do so, sooner or later we shall pay the
penalty. But the American people, whose
symrathies are strongly with the Cubans
fighting for their liberties, will no longer
suffer this indifference toward them to
continue. Ii one administration declines
to meet our national responsibilities as
they should be met, there will be put in
power another administration which will
neither neglect nor shun its plain duty to
the United States and to the cause OF free
dom and humanity.
