TEN JAPANESE
TO Be CONFIRMED
It Will Be the First Class
of the Kind in
America.
The Religious Trials of a Brit.
ish Sea Captain Will
End To-Day.
Handsome Gift of the Daughters of
the King to the Church of
the Advent.

There will occur at the Church of the
Advent on Eleventh street to-day some
thing very much out of the common. In
fact it is nothing less than the confirma-
ton of ten Japanese, the first class of the
kind to be confirmed in America.
Rev. DR.. John A. Emery, the rector of
the church, in speaking of the noteworthy
incident last evening, said:
sThe IDEA of Japanese Mission origi-
mated partly with Bishop McKim and
partly with Rev. Mr.. Tai, one of the Jap
anese converts, who has entered the priest
hood.
''Mr. Tai belongs to the warrior class,
which gave him quite standing among
his countrymen. He was so much of a
speaker that Bishop McKim said he had
see 1000 men hang on bis words in an
ecstasy of appreciation.
He wanted to come to America to per-
feet himself IN English and do something
for his own countrymen, but though he
has accomplished the latter desire he has
had no time to carry out his wish as re-
CARDS learning English better.
REV. Mr.. Tai came here two years ago
and started this mission. Lite more
entered theological seminary at Alexan-
drIa. Va.
His place was taken by Rev. Mr..
Mikarni. a deacon. The Japanese have
their Mission house at 700 Geary street.
Some two or three months ago Mr..
Mikarni brought down a Japanese 10 be
baptized in the church. Nov, a class of
ten will be brought down for confirmation
to- m orrow.
''He tells me the class will consist of ten
at least, and possibly more. / have quite
large class OF my own. In all there will
be between twenty-five and thirty con-
tirmed tom orrow.
1.-THE ages of the japanese vary from 20
to SO years. All of them seem very intel
ligent fellows. Some of them are now
attending the State University at Berke-
ley."
Another feature of the exercises at DR..
Emery's church to-day will be the con-
firmation of the captain of British ship
now in the harbor. He has twice been
prepared for confirmation II England and
once in America, but in all three cases has
had to sail shortly before the appointed
time.
At the services to-day. also, a hand
some brass ever, to be used exclusively
for carrying water to the font, will be seen
in the church. 1t was just received from
New YORK few days ago, and is the
gift of the Daughters of the King belong
ing to the church.

LIFE-SAVING SERVICE.

Major Blakeney Arranging to Secure
Early News of Shipwrecks.
In consequence of the several ship
wrecks along the coast recently, Major T.
J. Blakeney of the Life-saving Service is
sending out requests to all points to have
information of wrecks and disasters for
warded to him as quickly as possible. He
said If he had been informed of the wreck
OF the San Benito as soon as it took place
he would have sent a crew from this City
on tug to the scene of the wreck.
By starting on Sunday morning the
crew, with its apparatus, could have
reached the wreck by nightiall and saved
the poor fellows in the rigging from at
least twelve or fourteen hours suffering.
Although the place is 100 miles distant,
the southeast gale would have helped the
tug in its run up the coast. Major Blake
ney mas sent to all the places in this vi.
cinity where telephones are placed the fol-
lowing notice:
Please promptly notify of wreck or other
disaster T.. j. Blakeney. superintendent
building, San Francisco. telephone Main $3.50.

at other hours, 30061z Sacramento street. Tel

His purpose in so doing is that he NAV

it is the crews do not have time to teIe-
phone as they lose no time i'll getting into
their boats and away when a wreck is re-
ported.

FOUND a Decapitatea Boav.

JERSEY CITY, N. J.. Nov. 28.-Three
boys, while cunning on the Hackensack
Meadows to-day, discovered the decapi-
tated body of a man lying alongside of
the tracks of the Delaware, Lackawanna
ana Western Railway. The place where
the body was found is in Kearney Town
ship.
A large knife besmeared with blood was
lying near the body. The body was SUBJ
sequently removed to the morgue in this
city. The police of this city are now work
ing on the case. Their theory is that the
man was murdered in the roadway and
the body subsequently secreted in the
bushes alongside the track.

was an action against the trustees to quiet
title.
Mr.. Whe eler filed demurrer similar to
one filed by him in the former case in
order that the way for an appeal to the
Supreme Court might be made clear.
James s. Angus was called to the stand
and told about the making of the will by
James G. Fair on September /, 1894 1t
was sometime in the forenoon before
lunch. There were present when the will
was signed Messrs. Hittell, Mclaughlin,
Bresse, the witness and the deceased. 81
''Was he of sound mind at the time he
signed the will?' asked William NJ. Pier
son.
Mr.. Wheeler objected to the question as
i'm proper, and read several authorities to
the effect that the rule that sanity must be
presumed must hold in all cases, and that
the burden of showing that the testator
was insane ialls upon the defendants.
Counsel argued that to go into any ques-
tion of fraud or duress would be to antici-
pate objections from the other side which
mig hit never arise IN the case.
Judge Slack remarked that in some
States party is permitted to rely upon
the presumption of sanity. but in q large
majority o, States it Is not allowed 10 rely
upon that presumption, eand they are
obIige d to offer some evidence to show the
soundneSS oil NINA OF the teStator as well
as of the execution of the will.
Mr.. McEnerney agreed with Judge Slack
as to tle law. Parties who count upon
will must comply with the law by showing
its execution under the proper legal forms
and by a person legally competent 10
make will; that is, person of 81 years
of age or over and of sound mind may
make will.
A. Van R. Paterson did not think that
the plaintiffs attorney had any right to
interrupt them in their examination of the
witness.
The court overruled the objection and
directed the witness TO answer. The wit
ness replied that the deceased was of sound
mind. ana between 81 and So years OF age
The record of the Probate Court as to
the sanity of the deceased and the probate
of the will was introduced in evidence.
The dispositions of the other witnesses
to the will were read by Mr.. Wheeler, and
the case was submitted to the court.
Judge. Slack thereupon gave judgment
in favor of the plaintiffs. This is in ac-
cord with the decision rendered by him
some time ago to the effect that the trust
was invalid.
The case will be appealed to the Su-
preme Court
Judge Paterson was allowed $5O0n coun-
sci fees for services on behalf of the minor
heirs.

LECTURES BY ASTRONOMERS.
Solar Eclipses and the Disappointing
Expedition to Japan.

Solar Eclipses and the Disappointing
Expedition to japan.
The Astronomical Society of the Pacific
opened it's doors to the public again last
evening at the Academy of Sciences Hall,
and the attendance was large.
a. L. Cotton of the Lick Observatory
gave a historical review of eclipse OBJ
servations. His remarks were well illus
trated by stereopticon views.
Professor Charles Burckhalter of the
Chabot Observatory delivered an interest
ing address upon the Lick Observatory
eclipse expedition to Japan. He accom-
panied Professor Schaeb eberle to Akkeshi,
Japan, to take photographs of the great
eclipse OF the sun that took place there on
August 8, 1886. He graphically described
the trip TO the coast of Yezo and the pains
the party took TO get everything in .readi-
ness sor the great event.
The expedition was divided into four
parties scattered over 100 miles along the
line of the eclipse, but all were doomed to
deep appointment. On the day that
the moon passed over the face of the sun
dense fog settlsd upon the land. Dur
ing the remainder of the stay of the party
every day was perfect.
Before closing his address Professor
Burckhalter described many scenes
through which the party passed while
in Japan. all ot which were illustrated
with his lantern and slides.

PROTECTED BY OLD GLORY.
Americans in Turkey We're Safe Every
where When the Stars and Stripes
We're UHfurIed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 2s.-secre-
tary Olney gave to the United Associated
Presses to-day this statement:
"The State Department authorizes the
statement that the assertion made by DR..
Cyrus Hammlin that American women in
Haskeni fed from massacre not finding
protection under the American flag is an
entire mistake: that tie flag is neither
furled nor insuIted at that point nd that
not an American man, woman or child
was at Haskeui during the massacre.
Equally untounded is the statement
recently made in Chickering Hall by Miss
DR.. Frances Kimball that only the Eng.
Nllsh flag is respected in Turkey. During
the massacre at Constantinople she hur-
ried by other flags and found protection
under her own flag and the escort of the
American Consul General. She passed
through the streets where men were being
k lied by mobs and went safely under our
flag up the Bosphorus. Through scenes
of mob violence all over Turkey our flag
and missionaries have been protected by
Turkish troops.
I'VE have lost by incendiary fires at but
two places, both far in the interior, the
value being much less than the claims of
England, France and Italy for monks and
priests killed. churches burned, houses
pillaged, and for which no indemnity has
been paid. Every peaceful American
arrested or detained has been released on
demand of the American Minister. These
demonstrations of revolutionists in Tur-
key are now our chief danger so far as our
missionaries are concerned
This departure from the recent course
practiced by the department in reference
to Turkish, Cuban andVenezuelan matters,
together with the fact that only yesterday
several cablegrams from Minister Terrell
at Constantinople we're made public, en-
phasizes the opinion prevailing in official
circles here that the relations prevailing
between the United States and Turkey
are receiving considerable attention from
the administration, and it is thought
many long standing causes of friction be-
tween the two countries are in course OF
settlement

Craig, LETT end California Varsity
The playing of the San Francisco High
School team was surprise. The local
boys proved themselves the equals in all
departments of the game TO their Oakland
rivals, who were previously conceded to
have the advantage. In the first half the
playing was almost entirely far down in
San Francisco's territory after the kick off,
and at one time the Oakland men lost the
bali on fun ble when within three yards
of goal. The whistle sounded with the
San Francisco team working rapidly
across Oaklends territory. In the second
half the pIay and the course cf the bail
were a repetition of the first half except
that San Francisco was the one to ap-
proach twice within few feet OF goal.
But two punts were made in the whole
came, and fun bles were frequent on both
Sides.
For Lowell High School the two Bishop
brothers. OConnor, Varney and Chad
wick did very effective work, while for
Oakland High School Joe King. Steele,
Chestnut and Nedderman were the more
noticeable on their team for valuable
playing.
The san Francisco and Oakland High
School teams decided after the game to
play OF the tie next Saturday afternoon at
Central Park. Game will be called at 2
o'clock. The winning team will meet st.
Matthew's School on the same ground on
the following Saturday afternoon for what

FIRST GAME-CENTRAL PARK. ~


Two 35-minute halves of play.
Touchdowns-First half, Snitzer z; second half
Henion l, johnson !.
Goals-First half first one missed by Johnson,
second kicked by Dickie: second half, first one
also missed by Johnson, second kicked by Dickie.
Twice in the first half Stockton High
School came very near scoring. but lost
the ball on fumbles when close to San
Mateo's goal. The two touchdowns that
ST. Matthew's secured in that half were
each made after beautiful long runs OF
about seventy yards, almost the entire
credit for which is due Snitzer, the man
who carried the ball. One was made from
a tumble secured from Stockton and the
other from a contem plated play. The
men on both teams were very uncertain in
holding the ball, particularly after they
were tackled, and in the second half big
Captain .Henion OF st. Matthew's, VINO
played star game, several times stole the
bail from the arms of his opponents. A
feature of st. Matthew's game in the
second half was Galvey's well-executed
quarterback kick out in front of Right
End Womble, who made connections with
the ball on the run for clean gain of
eighteen yards. OF all the attem pied
quarterback kicks during several seasons,
that one and the by Benson to Captain
Sherman of the California Varsity in the
Thanksgiving match of 1894, stand out as
rare exceptions 10 general failures.
