one of the members OF his company, Will
liam Lonigan, for failing to obey the
order of his superior officer to participate

or other similar cause to turn out with the
company.
This is the first time in this city. within
the knowledge of local military men, that
an arrest has been made for this breach of
the military and penal laws. Other cases
similar to this have occurred in other
cities up the valley. but none here.

WOES OF DEMOCRACY.

BuckIeyites Come Very Near to Going
Ahead Regardless of Anybody.
The executive committee of the Buckley
Democratic organization held long and
warm session last evening with James II.
o. Brien IN the chair.
The principal discussion was over reso-
luton by D. M. Gavigan, secretary of the
general committee, providing for local
primaries on September IL and calling a
municipal convention for September 15
The Importance of this resolution was
that it meant final and definite step
ahead as an independent organization, or
rather as the regular Democratic party,
wiIhout reference to the Junta or to any
of the vague propositions for party har
mony that are going about. The Buck
leyites claim. with strong reason and
much evidence, to be the regular and legal
party organization. and are quite ready to
put up municipal ticket and fight IN the
courts to have it placed upon the official
ballot as the Democratic ticket.
The meeting was largely attended one,
and nearly everybody present had a good
deal to say. The general temper of the
committee was one OF readiness to 90
ahead, but several counseled waiting for
at least a week to see If any further pros
poets of compromise at all fair to both
sides appeared. 1t was finally decided by
a small majority to postpone action on the
resolution for one week.
A committee to secure new and larger
headquarters was appointed, and the COM
mittee on registration, consisting of
James H. O'Brien, Joseph Rothschild and
William Humphreys, was enlarged by
the appointment of M. ]. Donovan, ]. G.
Nealon, d. M. Gavigan and Charles Nc
Carthy.
This committee was enlarged for the spe-
oia nf m q Eino q nf
volume before the Election Commission
ers in behalf of the recognition of the regu-
lar Democratic organization in the ap-
pontment of election officers, which seem
to be going mainly to the Junta. and the
committee will be heard from to-day.
There was a little bit of Democratic
political play in Judge Conlan's court last
session of his own committee on party
harmony.
Very few of the people whom Mr.. Dun
don invited were present, and George
Godfrey was the only representative of the
Junta there. The Buckleyites present
merely can to see what was done and to
stave things off. So Mr.. Dundon goes
ahead unifying the party, with neither
faction taking any stock in his labors.
Fire Commissioner Mcdonald presided.
and among those present were J. f. Twigg,
Fleet f. Strother, John Mccarthy, A. M.
Armstrong Samuel Haskins, E. J. Rev
nolds and Charles Wesley Reed.
p. F. Dundon again urged his scheme of
all the district committees getting to-
gether. Fleet r. Strother ironically called
Dundon "the great pacificator," and on
motion of John Mccarthy, who wants
Mcguire White and some more such big
men TO bump rival heads together, the
meeting adjourned to the call of the chair.
which is not likely to be expressed.

Santa Rosa Tares.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, July 21.-The
County Board of Equalization finished its
work last evening and adjourned.
The board made many reductions in
assessments throughout the county, but
den led the petitions of about dozen of
the heaviest taxpayers in this city. In
the motion of refusal it said:
All of the applications were filed at or about
IL O'Clock (noon) Saturday, July Is. The
Board of Equalization has no authority by
law to continue in session later than Monday,
Juls 20.
We have given the said matter as care
full consideration as the short time allowed us
permitted. We realize the values placed on
said lnnds are too high, but when we come to
compare values as placed on land in
Santa Rosa and upon lands outside of the
towns we find that all descriptions of lands
under the present conditions of profits
and incomes to owners are assessed in
excess of their true assesssabie value;
but it now appears that the only
way to obtain relief is to apply to the
State Board OF Equaliza ation for a reduction on
all lands of the county. 1t is therefore or
dered that the petitions be denied.

SEATTLE, WASH, July 21-The town
of Hat Springs, this county, health re-

For several days it has been with the
greatest difficulty and danger that trains

the proximity of fire to the track and the
intensity of the heat. A great forest fire

LNsULrED ALBIoMs FLAG.
Policemen Must apologize to British
Wce- Consul Mortimer.


Vtce- Consul Mortimer.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, July 21.-Owine
to display of excessive patriotism on the
part of Officers Mclean, Baker and Rey-
nolds of the police force of this city, these
gentlemen will, as result of the action of
the Police Commission to-day, be COM
pelled to masticste bit of humble pie by
way OF an apology to her British Maiesty's
Vice-Consui Mortimer, stationed in this
city. The anxiety of the three polIceme n
to tWeak the British lion tail on Indepen-
dence day is the cause of the trouble.
The officers have been und er suspension
for some time and their cases came up for
hnal determination to-day. Vice-ConsuI
Mortimer had been considerate enough tn
write letter to Chief Glass, saving that
he attributed their lack of diplomacy to
Ignorance when on July they demanded
that the Consul haul down the British
flag from his quarters and substitute the
Stars and Stripes. Mr.. Long of the Com
m issioners said that in his opinion the
officers should not draw pay for the time
during which they were suspended. and
that they should call upon Vice. Consul
Mortimer to express regret at their hastv
action, after which they should be re-
instated.
Another communics ton from the Brit
ish Vice-Consul was filed. The substance
of it was that he was notified that the
men meant no disrespect, and he desires
to see them reinstated. Commissioners
Barham gave the men little fatherly ad
vice about the enormity of their offense
and the trouble their act mioht have
caused the city. Officer Baker declared
that he hardly felt that he mad any apol-
ogy to make, since he had only happened
to be with the others at the time. The
Chief stated that Officer Baker was as
much to blame as the rest.
AFTER the officers had departed Commits
sioner Barham said that he believed the
investigation of Officer Baker would be
continued.
II don't like to see such an innocent
man suffer" said Barham. s'If Baker has
made any misstatement here, and we find
II out, ofhcer Baker should be dismissed
from the force"

BISHOP MONTGOMERY TALKS.
Deplores the Insinuation That the
Aged Prelate's Resignation Was
Not Voluntary.
Los ANGELES OFFICE OF THE CALL,
32S SOUTH BROADWAY,
Los ANGELES, CAL, July 21.

Los ANGELES, CAL, July Il.
Francis Mora, the Bishop of the diocese
of Monterey and Los Angeles, who after
forty years of continuous labors in behalf
of the church, during fifteen years or
which he has been in charge of bishop
ric, has resigned his position and been sue
ceeded by George Montgomery, Coadjutor
Bishop for the past two years, will soon
depart for Spain.
Bishop Mora to-day spoke of his early
work OF years ago among tie sparsely
populated settlement in Southern Cali
fornia, of his trips on horseback over
mountains and valleys. During all these
years, the Bishop said, with pathos in
his voice, the relations to his people and
the authorities above him had always
been pleasant. He said he would spend
the remaining years of his life in Spain,
and as the titular Bishop would be assured
of an income sufficient to supply his daily
wants.
Notwithstanding the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars worth of property in
uIing to the church in his name and
during his official career, the Bishop quits
the scene of his labor poor man. He
does not own one foot of land in Cali
fornia. All of the splendid church prop
critics of more than forty parishes will pass
into the hands of Bishop Montgomery, to
be held for the church. When the trans
fer of this vast wealth has been COM
pleted Bishop Mora, crowned with honors
and beloved by thousands, will retire.
Bishop Montgomery said this afternoon:
81 have little to say except that it shall be
my constant prayer that the interest of
the church shall not suffer by this change,
and that IN the discharge of my duties
shall ever try to emulate the example left
by my noble and faithful predecessor"
The Bishop said that local newspaper,
in speaking of the change, had insinuated
that there had been misunderstanding
and trouble between Bishop Mora and
Rome. This had annoyed the retiring
Bishop greatly, for it was so utterly un-
founded and unjust. The truth was that
Bishop Mora had been a splendid success
in every department of his work, had al
ways showed great business sagacity and
had ever enjoyed the fullest esteem and
confidence of his suDeriors.
The great properties he left behind him
attested this. He has never, said Bishop
Montgomery, acquired any property with
out the full knowledge and consent of the
church authorities, and always for the
church and not for himself
The incoming Bishop, who was for many
years priest in San Francisco, is not only
popular with the members of his church
in this city, but with all classes of people.

STOCKTON, CAL, July 21.-Dr. @. A.
RuggIes has returned from the East,
whittier he went to attend the national
conference of the State Boards of Health,
which was held at Chicago, and also to
have an interview with the authorities at
Washington in reference to the Texas
fever. which was said to be prevalent
among the cattle of this State, and on ac-
count of which the cattle were refused
transportation out of the State. In speak
in of the success of his mission in the
latter capacity to-day the doctor said:
"I called upon Secretary Morton, the
Commissioner of Agriculture, and had a
conference with him and DIR. Salmon, the
Chief of Animal Industry. The gentle
men remarked that we were in pretty
bad position, but further than that had
nothing to say. L t was then suggested
that the United States Government send

here by a person appointed by Governor

DUMFRIES, SCOTLAND. July 21.-The
town was decorated en- fete to-day upon
the occasion OF the centennial anniversary
of the death of Robert Burns, the poet,
who died here July 2f, 1796.
There was an enormous procession in

Burns clubs in all parts of the world took
part.
The procession which also included
thousands of Scotch shepherds and plow-
men, marched from the Aud Brigg to the
mausoleum, where the body of Burns lies.
Here the delegates were received by
Lord Rosebery, and the former, together
with many others, laid wreaths upon
Burns grave. After the ceremony there
was a public luncheon, at which Forest
Mache of the New York Scottish Society
responded to the toast of the delegates.
