When Mr.. Gladstone arose to sneak
he moved the following resolution
which was received with remarkable
enthusiasm:
That this meeting trusts that Her

fullest extent the terrible condition in
which their fellow Christians are
placed, Will do everything possible
to obtain for them full security md
protection, aud this meeting assures

MIR. Gladstone declared hi, adhesion
To the principles contained in the res.
olutions, and said he came here mot
claiming any authority except that of
"a citizen of Liverpool.
Mr.. Gladstone thcn said: Il doubt
IL II Is an cNaggcration to say that il
was in the s%ultan's palace and there
only that the inspiration has been
supplied and the policy devised of the
WhOle series OF naSSacreS. When the
sultan carries maSsacrcs into his own
capital under the eyes Of the ambas-
sadors, he appears to have gained the
very acnc OF what IL is possible for
him To do, But the weakness OF
diplomacy, | trust, is about to bc
strengthened by the echo OF this ma.
tion's voice
Mr.. Gladstone then alluded to the
hupincncss of the ambassadors 81 the
powers at Constantinople and said:
81 believe that the continued presence
OF the ID sSadors At tonstnntinople
has operated ns "a distinct c~ountcnaucc

hiZeo ally. Hut, while urging the
government to act, II does not follow
that even for the sake 81 the great ob.
lcct in view Great britain should
transplant Europe into "A state OF war,
On the other hand, however, | deny
that England must abandon her own
right to independent judgment and
allow herself To be domiuccrcd by the
other powers"
In closing, Mr.. Gladstone said: I'VE
have n just title to threaten Turkey
with coercion that does not in itself
mean war, and think that the first
step should be the recall OF our am.
bassadOr. And II should be followed
by tho dismissal OF the Turkish ara-
tnssador from London. Suc'l n curse

OF massacres more terrible than ever
recorded in the dismal, dcplorable
history of human crime"

Sacramento ParlOr'S Gift to Califia
ParIOr-TO-MOrr Excursion.

There was a sound of revelry by night
at the headquarters of Sacramento Par
lor, Native Sons, last evening, the Oc-
casion being the presentation by Sacra-
mentO Parlor to the fair sisters OF
Califia Parlor of a beautiful silk flag.
The presentation was formally made
by j. M. Henderson, Jr., who paid
high tribute to the ladies of Califia Par
lor.
The token of esteem was received by
Allie Poole, President of Califia Parlor
who in well-chosen words expressed the
parlors appreciation Of the magnificent
gift. and assured the donors that it
would be a constant reminder of the
petrio tic spirit evinced by the mag
nificent emblem of American liberty
which would even henceforth find a
place in the hall Of Califia Parlor
The flag presented was of the finest
silk, mounted on staff of native wood,
surrounded by a golden eagle with out
spread wings From the birds talons
float two streamers, one bearing the in
scription, Sacramento Parlor, N. S. G.
w, 1896" embroidered in old gold silk
The other reads: "Califia Palor, n. D.
G. W., No %" The flag, which is four
by seven feet, is bordered with mag
nificent gold fringe.
The evening was spent pleasantly in
social converse and dancing, and later
formal reception was held by the
ladies, with the serving of refreshments.
The excursion train for Stockton to-
| morrow, going under the auspices of
Sacramento Parlor, will leave the depot

rate was fixed at four cents, Tozer and

The sprinkling tax was fixed at S1a

The sewer tax was fixed at 612 cents
and the levee tax at one cent.
The street bond tax was fixed at 3la
cents and the levee bond tax at 61a
fixed at one cent.
The special tax for the sewer bonds,
at four cents, was included in the levy.
The High School tax then came up
again, and Wachhorst said the rate
must be kept down to 81 90. and there
fore the High School and street repair
taxes must be cut down in order to
keep within that limit
Devine said he favored low taxes as
much as any man, but these two things
must be cared for, and it would be bad
Iolicy for the board to cripple either
the High School or the street work. 1t
was evident to him that the rate could
not be kept down to the 81 90 limit.
Davis moved that the tax levy as
presented by the Board of Estimate be
adopted.
Devine objected that it would set the
matter back where it started. He
moved the High School tax be fixed at
eight cents and the motion carried.
Devine moved to make the street re-
pair tax eleven cents.
ToZer read a statement of past street
expenses and read an estimate of what
will be needed for the next year, saying
that it would amount to fifteen cents,
and he thought the estimate too low at

The street repair tax was fixed at

| The action of the board in fixing the

ToZer said that there We're many
