STRONG FOR HOME RULE
Hon. Alfred Webb, for Six Years
Member of Parliament,
Is Here.
IS FROM WEST WATERFORD.
Though a Protestant, He Is Elected
Three Times From a District
e5 Per Cent Catholic.

Hon. Alfred Webb, for six years member
of Parliament from West Waterford, in
the south of Ireland, is at the Wilson
House accompanied by Mrs. Webb. They
have been on tour of the world and last
visited Australia and Tasmania.
Mr.. Webb is a Protestant, and, oddly
enough, has been elected three times from
a district in which 95 per cent of his con-
stituency is Catholic. He says, however,
that out of eighty or more members of tn Q
Irish Parliament there are eight or ten
Protestants who have, like himself, been
elected from strong Cath olic districts. Ac-
cording to him the Catholics there are
nothing like SO antagonistic to the Protes-
tants as many suppose. They are really
very liberal.
Mr.. Webb is an ardent home rule advo-
cate, but says the Protestants generally
are not nearly so enthusiastic for it es the
Catholics. They are pretty we'll contented
as they are, apparently, and believe Eng
land will look out FOR them better than
they would be looked out for if Ireland
had home rule.
"What we want said Mr.. Webb, sis
the right to manage our internal affairs.
We don't want to cut loose from England,
but we want something like your State
Government here, except that we wouldn't
ask for any militia. ALI such general
matters could be left to the general
Government, but we would like to be able
to name our Judiciary, and, in fact. ar
range the details of all matters local and
close to us.
"Ireland's population has decreased
from 8,250,0O0, as when l was a boy, to
4,750,00O now. The people have migrated.
But Ireland is in better shape now than
for long time.
1.-THE Protestants have been at the head
of no great reforms for 100 years. Strangely
enough. they have been opposed to them.
They were opposed to the independence OF
the Irish church. 1t is remarkable. never
theless, that during the fierce feeling OF
fifteen years the proportion of Protestants
has slightly increased"

interests north and south of San Fran.

what he has seen. The gentleman is about
60 years of age of medium size, with an

FIGHTING FOR THE CHILD
What Is Preventing a Settlement
of the Marceau
Case.
Marceau Said to Be Wi ling to Allow
His Wife to Secure the
Divorce.

once more the Marceau case has failed
to put in an appearance before Judge
Slack at the appointed time, and it looks
now as If it never would come to trial.
Last Saturday was the date set for the
trial OF an application by Mrs. Marceau
for the custody of the child, boy of 6
years, but the case went over until yester-
day morning
Yesterday morning when the case was
called, it was announced that all parties
had consented to a continuance until to-
morrow, and once more the trial was
putoff.
The delay in the case points to COM
promise, and should this meth cd of settle.
ment be decided upon the case will have
but brief period in court. Marceau may
be induced to Withdraw the charges which
he made against his wife, and then she
will probably be allowed to put i'll cross
complaint against him and secure q
divorce by default. The only real
stumbling block is the custody of the child.
Marceau says his wife is not fit person
to care for the boy, and she says she ca n
disprove every charge he has made against
her. The Palace Hotel people side with
Mrs Marceau. and she says they can prove
that no one was in the room with her on
that exciting morning few weeks back
except her mother, her child and SER
want. The efforts of the attorneys are
being directed toward settling the matter
of the custody of the boy, and when that
is done the case will speedily end.
The question of alimony has so far been
an unimportant one in the case. Marceau
readily agreed to allow his wife $500 a
month pending litigation, and so the ali
mony and a division of property will not
be hard to settle afterward.

The Fire on the British Ship
Brabloch Has Been
Extinguished.
TUGS ARE PUMPING HER OUT.
Sailing of the Coptic With the
kindergarten Crew" of the
White Star Line.

The British ship Brabloch that arrived
from Newcastle, n. s. W., on fire last
Tuesday afternoon is still on the mud
flats at Sausalito. The live coal was all
drowned out during the night and yester-
day the tugs Fearless and Vigilant began
the work of pumping her out again. 1t IS
calculated that there is over 1000 tons OF
water in the vessel, but it is expected that
by low water to-day she will be pumped
clear and viii float with the rising tide.
Until an examination has been made by
the underwriters it will not be known
what the damage will be, but the chances
are that it will be heavy.
The streams OF water that were poured
continuously into the burning ship all
night did not have any perceptible effect
until yesterday morning. Then the hull
began to cool, and instead of smoke moth
ing but steam came out of the main and

time. To-day the delegates will make
another tour of investigation and select
the worst of these mixed jobs to begin
operating upon. They will present their
reports to the council tonight and be in
structed as to which jobs will be the next
struck. 1t is the determination to put the
working-card into effect, and there is no
doubt but what there will be some bitter
fights before this is effected.
In pursuing this policy the council does
not expect to win bloodless victory and
conquer the City at once. 1t is well un-
derstood that number of contractors will
yield for the time being in order to finish
contracts actually on hand.
1t is claimed however, that a large body
OF building and painting contractors have
an understanding to fight the card system
as soon as they are free from present con-
tracts. More than that it is believed that
a certain manufacturing association is be-
hind the contractors and will assist in the
contest with material aud money if neces-
sary. Those who believe that the general
strike Is over are mistaken II the two op-
posing forces maintain the positions they
have assumed.
The Woodworkers' Union have another
victory to boast of. While they are at
peace so far as the Parrott building is con-
cerned they still have the knife sharpened
on both edges for Charles j. Bruschke. On
Tuesday night they got two of Bruschke's s
men to leave and join the union. Last
evening they took four more men away and
these, too, will be taken into the fold OF
unionism.
1t is proposed to clean out Bruschke' s
shop. if possible. 1t was understood that
nearly all the men in that shop were Ger
mans, but an inventory of nationality
shows only two out of fifty in the shop.
Several union men at present employed
by Bruschke state they expect to be dis
charged very soon. Since he formed his
union" he has declared that he wants no
union men to work for him. About twelve
union men expect to be dropped from the
payroll within few days, principally be-
cause Bruschke suspects them of doing
union missionary" work among his other
employees. Several of these men have
been forbidden to talk with the other en-
ployes, so they state.

EARLY MORNING BURGLARY.
John Sernies' Saloon on Kearny Street
Looted by Thieves.

John Sernies' Saloon on Kearny Street
Looted by Thieves.
John Sernles' saloon. at 90S Kearny
street, was entered by burglars at an early
hour yesterday morning, and considerable
small change which had been left in the
till when the saloon was closed the night
before and liquors were stolen. The rob-
bers gained an entrance to the saloon
through window in the rear of the build
ing, using a jimmy in order to accomplish
their purpose.
The robbery was reported to the police
and officers Williams and Wren were de-
tailed upon the case. Last evening, upon
securing sufficient evidence to warrant
their arrest, George Ryan and William
Madden were taken into custody.
They were found by the arresting officers
in room in the Adelphia House busily
engaged in drawing the liquid from bot
tie supposed to have been among those
stolen from Sernies' saloon.
Upon being questioned at the police sta
tion both men denied having been impli-
Gated in the burglary, but the police are
positive that they have the right persons.

M|OWEEK THEATER NOTES
O'NeilIs Last Appearances at
the Baldwin in Monte
Cristo."
Marked Improvement in the Cast at
the Grand = The Alcazar
Drama.

James O'Neill is concluding bis season
with "Monte Cristo," Hamlet" and "The
Courier of Lyons" Last night he re-
peated the popular "Monte Cristo,' i'll
which his impersonation is too familiar to
need comment. Tonight he will play
Hamlet" tomorrow and Sunday
Monte Cristo' will be repeated, and the
season will end on Sunday night with
"The Courier of Lyons"
Richard Mansfield begins his season at
the Bald win Theater next Monday.
"The Night Clerk" is affording plenty of
laughter to California Theater audiences.
Absurd and inconsequent as the farce-comedv
is it possesses brisk dialogue, and Peter Daley
and John G- Sparks put so much vivaclty into
their parts that the public is beguiled into
applauding because it is amused.
One OF the best performances that the Co.
lumba Theater has seen for some time is
Frank Mayo's "Pudd nhead wilson" The
actor author has made quantity phiio-
sophical study out of the old Missourian
lawyer of Mark Twains well-known story.
Frank Mayo has surrounded himself with an
excellent cast.
This afternoon the students of the Columbia
School of Dramatic Art give public per-
formance at the Columbia Theater.
"Doris," with Miss Lisle Leigh in the title
role, has made quite a hit at the Grand Opera
house. The personnel of Morosco's company
has changed for the better considerably during
the last few weeks, and the arrival of Miss
Leigh has made the change even more marked.
In .fDoris" there is marked improvement in
refinement and finish. The declamatory style
has been to great extent abandoned for some
thing more modern and natural, and the ap
plause with which the play Is received shows
that the audience appreciates the change.
"Bluebeard" has proved quite a glittering
success at the Tivoi. The extravaganza is
well staged and brightly acted. Miss Gertrude
Awkward, the new prima donna, is q valuable
addition to the strength of the Tivoi COM
pany 'Buebeard" will run till further
notice.
The mana cement of Growers Alcazar has no
reason to regret its return to drama, after
wandering a while in the field of vaudeville.
"Ranch No. 10' has brought back a good
many of the favorites of the company, and the
play, which is well staged and acted, IS doing
good business
The excellent variety bill at the Orpheum is
filing that popular house of amusement.
Elena Leila the singing doll, is a new and at
tractive novelty, and the Marvelles are wonder
fully clever contortionists. Segommer's ven
triloquism arouses as much interest as at the

fractions.
There is a great deal of interest centered in
the first appearance at the Auditorium of the
