THEY ALL MEET
IN FRATERNITY
Evangelical Ministers In
augurate Union Meet
ings.
Bishop Newman Speaks on the
Retormatory Forces of
Christianity.
A Large Audience of Pastors From
This City and Oakland Listen
and Applaud.

What the evangelical pastors of this
City hope is the beginning of a new
order of things was inaugurated yester-
day morning when the pastors OF nearly
all the evangelical denominations met
together in grand union meeting at the
Association Auditorium to hear an address
by Bishop Newman. A large assem- blage
of pastors from this City and across the
bay listened with deep interest to the
Bishops address and received it with fire.
ouent applause. Rev. II. G. Minton, DID,
presided and Rev. M. P. Boynton gave the
scriptural reading.
The subject of Bishop Newman's
address was 1.-THE Reformatory Forces o.
Christianity" He began by sayin; that
the only hope of this world is in Christian
ity and by drawing attention to the sor-
rows of humanity, the history of which he
declared was funeral march from the
craule to the grave. CATER all these years
of Christian work, is there any balm in
Gilead? Has your religion proved
adeQuate2 Look at the condition OF the
world and the oppression, massacre,
idolatry, the selhshness OF commerce and
the want of conservation of the intellect
OF the age. Is there no balm in Gllead?
This is he question that you, az Christian
ministers, are bound to answer"
After touching at length on these ques-
tions and Illustrating his remarks with
vivid imagery, the Bishop sketched the
philosophy of agnosticism as opposed to
the Christian conception that human
nature cannot suppress vice and sustain
virtue without a power exterior to itself.
He also described and discussed the
various panaceas which are considered by
many people as the only things needed TO
upiift human nature.
1.-The theory of the statesman is that
what is necessary is law. We uphold
law; but then law is inadequate to accom-
plisn certain results, for it is well-known
TACT tbat all forms of government have
failed to suppress the evil of our nature.
Under the worst forms OF government the
best men hay lived and under the best
forms of government the worst men have
lived. So it is a fact that the power TO
change the hearts of men is not in legisla-
ton. The real energy OF civil law is in
moral sentiment. Take your own mag
nificent Republic; it would go to pieces
ike a rope of sand were it not for the
moral sentiment which Is tostered by the
Christian church"
Bishop Newman next touched on the
theory of the scholar, that Ignorance is
the source of the worlds woe, and by de-
scribing the high culture on the banks of
the Ganges and in ancient Greece showed
that mere intellectually had been tried
under the most favorable circumstances
and had failed. "All hail to our public

Schools" he said, and this sentiment was
warmly applauded. "All hail to them.
but they may educate atheists; they may
realize what Paul said: knowledge
puffeth up.
Philanthropy Well, who would say a
word against philanthropy. But in its m Cd
ern sense 1t mpathizes with conditions
and not with human nature. No one can
call Christ phllanthropist as we under
stand the word. He went through the
crowd saying: Seek first the kingdom of
God and his righteousness. and all these
things shall be added unto you These
things meaning clothes, food, etc. Is
there statesman to-day who has the
courage TO stand side by side with Christ
and teach this divine system OF political
economy? If there we're this world would
become an earthly paradise"
The Bishop declared that the kew to the
situation lay in the statement "Ye must
be born again." Christ did not come into
the world TO reform mems temporal con-
dition, but TO reform their hearts, and just
in proportion as their Christian philoso-
ply is received does society move forward
in peace and plenty, for schools, hospitals
and philanthropic institutions OF all sorts
are the natural sequence of the spread of
true Christianity.
The address was received with great APP
plause, and in departing from the hall
many expressions OF satisfaction we've
made by the ministers at the fraternal de-
parture inaugurated by union meetings.
The union committee is permanent one,
and from time to time celebrated ministers
visiting the coast will be invited to make
union addresses.
The union committee consists of Rev.
DR.. NJ. c. Harris (chairman), Rev. E.
Lyman Hood (secretary), Rev. DR.. Ollie,
Rev. DR.. Ketchum. Rv. DIR. Bushnell,
Rev. S. C. Kelch and Rev. DR.. Gardner

Blockaded.
Sportsmen Who Are Waging
War Against Marsh Land
Preserves.
A District Attorney Who Has R :
fused to Issue Warrants for the
Arrest of Hunters.

The Sportsmen's Protec tive Association
of this City is determined to leave no
stone unturned that will bring transgres-
sors of the law TO justice. One of the as
sociation's attorneys. W. S. Schmidt, said
yesterday that he expected that the au-
thorities in Washington must have pigeon
holed the report sent by H. S. Foote, the
United States District Attorney, regard
ing the blockading of navigabe waters in
Solano County by sportsman's club.
1T is now month or more" said Mr..
Schmidt, "since Mr.. Knight, who is
deputy of Mr.. Foote'S, mailed to the At
torney- General at Washington a full re-
port of the distractions in certain navi-
gable waters in the Suisun marsh, in
accordance with a report that was SUBJ
mitted to him by the United States dis
trict engineers.
"As nothing has been heard from Wash
ington since the report was mailed, it is
presumed that the matter was considered
of such small significance that very little
cognizance has been taken of it by the
authorities in Washington.
POSSIBLY in the sweet by and by we may
hear something that Will interest us in
this particular.
"Howeyer, the law relative to the
b.ockading of navigable waters IS very
PLAIN. 1t reads that any person who shall
blockade strea m OF slough of navlga BILE
capacity shall be deemed guilty of mis-
demeanor, which is punishable by fine
OF $4,000 and one years Imprisonment for
every week that the obstruction is m ain
tanned, or words 10 that effect.
Now, / cannot understand why the
authorities will not take immediate ac-
ton TO punish those people who persist in
maintaining those distractions to nayiga-
ZION. At any rate the association is E.
termlned to fight this matter to the end.
"On Saturday last l visited the San
Pablo marsh, or at least that part of it
which is preserved by a club of sports
men. A photographer who accompanied
me took pictures of the barricades which
| have been erected in the Davis Slough and
other sloughs that are unquestionably
navigable."

was sworn to by Mr.. Schmidt few days

The preliminary examination of Luz
igi Palo. charged with the MUIR
der of Augustine PARENT, q musi-
eisn, by administering to him poison
in a glass of wine, on Novem Der 20, was
terday afternoon. The defendant was
represented By Attorneys Spinetti and Fl.
c. Grant, and Prosecuting Attorney Quig
ley conducted the prosecution.
The witnesses for the prosecution were
the same who testified at the Coroner's in
quest. Mrs. PARENT repeated the scene
she enacted at the inquest, with slight va
riations. When giving her testimony she
became hysterical and shrieked out as she
pointed her finger at Palo, You MUIR
dered my husband you have left me and
would shoot YOU"
She continued to howl and shrek, Gre
ating the widest excitement in court,
until she was taken out and locked up in
the Judges chambers. While passing
Palo she struggled nercely to free her
hands from the officers grasp and sue
ceeded in getting her right hand released
Quick as lightning she bent down and
grasped bold of spittoon that was close
to where Palo was sitting. She was about
to hurl it at Palos head, but it was
Yrenched out OF her hand. PaIo said
something to her which quieted her for
q moment. In her excitement she nearly
BIT one OF her fingers off.
Palo gave his evidence and told the
same story he mas told since he was ar
rested The case was continued till this
afternoon, when more witnesses for the
defense will be heard. The Judge ex-
pressed himself as very much impressed
with the truth of Palo's stoly.

TO CLOSE SALOONS.
A Largely Attended Meeting, at Which
Permanent Organization Is
Effected.

A large meeting of delegates from
ministerial associations and temperance
societies was held yesterday afternoon at
the Young Mems Christian Association,
and the result of the meeting was the
formation of an organization to be known
as the ti-Saloon League of California.
Rev. S. w. Ferguson was appointed
temporary chairman of the meeting, and
Rev. DR.. Bovard made an address, de-
scribing the legislation aimed at for the
suppression of saloons by the Anti-Saloon
League. He described the success of the
organization in the East, and stated that
there the Catholics had worked hand In
hand with the evangelical denominations.
Arch bishop Watterson and Archbishop
Ireland were spoken of as two preates
who had heartily Endorsed the movement.
During the course OF DR.. Bovard's adj
dress on the subject of anti-saloon legis-
lation Frank Z. Coulter of Selma, one OF
the Good Temperance delegates, asked
whether this might not be construed into
legislating against class.
Dr. Bovard replied that at proper time
that question might be considered, but
that there was no bearing on that point
then. On motion of DR.. Bovard it was
unanimously resolved to effect perma-
neut organization, and the following COM
mite was appointed to select noml-
mating committee for offices: Rev. Il. d..
Bovard, Mrs. d. ]. Spencer, Rev. M. p.

When asked for information concerning
the long-pending trespass suit which was
brought against certain mem bers of the
association by Mrs. Teuxberry who IS
the owner of the San Pablo marsh lands
leased by EmerIc, Murdoch and others for
shooting purposes, Mr.. Schmidt said:
THE tresIass ca uf Mrs. Teuxberry
against Jones and other sportsmen, men,
bers of the Protective Association, was to
have been tried in Martinez on Novem Der
6 by Superior Judge Jones OF Contra
Costa County, but the attorney for the
plaintiff sent word at the last moment
that he was indisposed and could not at
tend on that day, and as result the case
was ostponed indefinitely. | cannot say
now when it will be called again.
District Attorney Brown of Martinez
has grown tired of issuing warrants for
the arrest o. sportsmen who have been
shooting wild geese on the San Pablo pre-
serve and has so informed the lessees OF
the marshes in question:: but the keepers,
who dress in cowboy fashion, carry hol-
sters strapped to their sides on purpose to
intimidate hunters who happen into the
preserve.
II do not think this policy on the part
of the preserve clubs is right until the SUI
perior Court of Contra Costa County de-
c des that those unreclajmed lands which
are bounded by navigable sloughs are pri-
vate property.
"a court decision will end the fight be-
tween the association and the owner or
lessees of the marshes, but until this ques-
ton is decided permanently believe that
hunters have n right to shoot thereon.
nTha only dnciSiOp thar has as vet been
rendered is that of Judge Buckles of the
Superior Court OF Solano County, which
was in favor OF the hunters and against
the preseryers
