WASHINGTON, March 4-The SEN

to-day decided to report the Dingley
bill authorizing the determination of
the fur seals, unless England consents
to further arbitrations, without amend

vote, which was cast by Morgan

House bill providing for the extermina-

made a separate order for next Thurs
day
Senator Morgan will file a minority
report taking the position that the
regulations made by the Paris Tribunal
are sufficient for the protection of seals,
if properly enforced. He will be antag-

Mckinley, Ex-senator ingalls, Says, the
Strongest Man.

ST. LOUIS. March 4.-Ex-S Senator In
gals of Kansas, who is stopping in this
city, to-day said:
Since October I have been in nearly
every State east of the Rocky Mount
aims, and have found opinion among
Republicans practically unanimous for
Mckinley. His competitors are emf
nent, capable and popular Any of
them, if nominated, would be cordially
supported, but the people want McKin-
ley. 1t is no disparagement, either, to
say that, leaving out the sentiment of
locality and State pride, Mckinley is
stronger than Reed in New England; /;
than Morton in New York; than Quay in
Pennsylvania; than Cul1om in Illinois.
He is far in the lead already, but his po-
sition will be perilous unless he enters
the convention with majority. The
combination of ambitious rivals and
favorite sons may defeat him as it de-
feated Blaine in 1876"

he Displayed More Nerve Than DID His
Volunteer Assistant.
A very pleasant anecdote is told of
Professor Anderson by MI. Arthur a
Beckett in his "Green Room Recollec-
TONS. He says the professor in his
great gun trick used TO give one of the
audience a rifle, some powder and a
marked bullet. Tho marksman was
then requested 10 load and prepare to
fire.
Thereupon the professor walked to
the end of the stage and invited the ri
heman to shoot him. Then, after the
malksman had fired, he used to produce
the marked bullet, insisting that he
had caught it Oh a plate. On one occa-
sion a friend of mine. who was an ad-
mirablc amateur conjurer, offered him
self as an assistant. He took the gun
and the ammunition and daily loaded

give the bullet q final tap with his
wand to see that it was rammed down

offered his assistance he politely de-
clined. Anderson did not insist, but
coolly walked to the end of the stage
and called out, Now, sir, take a good
aim at me and fire.
My friend hesitated, as he was we'll
aware that the gun he was holding was
really loaded. Fire, sir. fret cried
the professor.
MY friend lowered the weapon, and.
saying he could not let it off. returned
it to Anderson, who. Immediately, un-
der pretense Of seeing whether it had
been properly loaded, extracted the bull

else. But before the rife was fired he
addressed the audience. Ladies' and
gentlemen" said he. 1.-THE person who
has just resumed his seat knew my trick
and foiled it. II he had fred, this prob
ably would have been my last appear
ance before you. But he hadn't sufh-
cient nerve TO shoot me. t
When it dawned upon the house that
Anderson had risked his life rather than
confess himself beaten, the applause
was deafening. My friend told me that
he felt rather small and regretted his
penchant for practical joking.

was special dance by little Adele Morgen-
stern and Master Abe Myrson. neither of
whom had seen more than nine summers.
So well were their effosts to amuse appre-
ciated that they were repeatedly encored,
and when they finally were allowed to re.

required all their united strength to carry
off the stage.

Mrs. Waldheimer sold 500 and Miss

largely aided to make the affair success.
In concluding, he invited all the children
of the Sabbath school present, some 300 in
number, to the banquet hall, where ice
cream, cakes, candies and sandwiches were
provided without stint.
1t is estimated that the entertainment
netted about $1,000, which will be used for
the benefit of the Sabbath school.

A RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.
Three People Injured in Collis ion on

Three People Injured in q Collis ion on
Golden Gate Avenue.
There was a serious runaway accid ent
on G olden Gate avenue and Franklin
street late yesterday afternoon which re-
suited in the injury of three people. J.
Gout and his sister Julia and Miss Annie
Mistreau, who are interest tied in laundry
on Larkin street. near Post, attended q
funeral in the afternoon. On their way
back from the Odd Fellows Cemetery
their horse became unmanageable and
ran away. Near the corner of Golden Gate
avenue and Franklin street the buggy col
lided with a coupe and the three were
hurled to the ground.
Miss Mistreau was picked up in an nm
conscious condition and removed to the
Receiving Hospital. For a time it was
believed that her injuries were of such
character as to prove fatal, but later in the
evening she recovered and was removed to
the French Hospital. Miss Gout was badly
bruised about the head, body and limbs.
She was sent to the French Hospital with
her friend. Gout's legs were badly bruised
and sprained, but not so serious as to
necessitate his going to the hospital. The
buggy was badly wrecked.
The other vehicle and occupants had q
narrow escape. It belongs to M. Rosen-
thai of 141O Fulton street. The driver was
thrown from mis- seat, but he held to the
lines and was dragged along the ground
for some distance before the reins were
pulled from his hands. At this point
Charles Myers of 26 West Mission street
sprang from the sidewalk, seized the terri
fled animals by the bits and after much
effort succeeded in bringing them to
stop, not without much danger to himself
But for his bravery the carriage would
have been dashed to pieces and the occu-
pants killed or serionslysinjured.

THE CANTATA OF ESTHER,
A Highly Successful Entertain.
ment by the Children Of
Beth Israel.
It Was Given in Celebration OF
the Great Jewish Feast of
Purim.

Congregation Beth Israel has good cause
to feel proud, not only OF its Sabbath
school pupils, but of it's efficient and pains
taking rabbi, who conceived and made
feasible the highly successful presentation
of the drama and cantata OF "Esther" at
the Native Sons Hall last night, in cele-
bration of the Jewish feast of Purim.
The large hall was taxed to its utmost
long before the signal was given for the
raising of the curtain. The cast of the
play comprised 112 of the Sabbath-school
children. 1t consisted of three acts, and
incidentally some very pretty effects were
produced by the Oriental dancing of a
corps of twenty-three children, none over
13 years OF age, who showed most efficient
training.
The story of the play is the well-known
one of the threatened destruction of the
Hebrew people of the kingdom of Persia
through the Vaccinations of Haman, and
their preservation by the intercession of
Queen Esther, Jewess. through whose in

out everywhere the matter is discussed,
and especially in police circles.
Captain Whitman, whose name has been
mentioned in connection with the chief
tainship, stated yesterday that he saw no
reason for the same.
Captain Lees is the man who is needed
in that position" he said. "He is not
only entitled to it by virtue of length OF
service, but for competency. There is not
thing that has transpired in the depart
ment in the past forty years, nor is there
communication with foreign police depart
ments regarding police matters, that the
captain is not thoroughly familiar with.
He has everything in this connection at
his fingers ends, and there is no man liv-
ing, excepting the Chief, who could as
sumo the enormous responsibility of the
Office and do it justice"

men on the force in point of service. He

The Anniversary Of Emmet's
Birthday at Metropolitan
Hall.
ARRANGEMENTS ARE ALL MADE
st. Patrick's Day to Be Observed With
Irish Music, Song and Oratory
at Woodward'S.

There was much hustle and excitement
about the Knights of the Red Branch Hall
yesterday afternoon when 1rish-American
citizens gathered in large numbers to dis
cuss affairs in relation to forthcoming
celebrations of national scope and char
acter. The Emmet men were in one hall
while the ST. Patrick's day convention
was in progress in another. All were most
enthusiastic and the proceedings of both
bodies were punctuated with dashes of
sentiments and periods of oratpry. The
headquarters generally had the appear
ance of State political convention in full
blast.
The Knights of the Red Branch com.
pleted arrangements for the observance of
the one hundred and eighth anniversary
of the birth of Robert Emmet, the bril-
liant young Irishman, whom historians
record as martyr to the principles of
Irish independence. This element of the
Celtic race that has long kept alive the
memory of the young patriot has also
maintained ceaseless warfare against
England as the hereditary foe of their
native Ireland.
At the meeting yesterday it was decided
to give ex-Congressman John f. Finerty,
who will arrive here on Tuesday morning,
and who will lecture at METROPOLITAN Hall
on the following evening, rousing recep-
ton. Every Irishman Of note in the City
will extend the glad hand to the great ora
tor and leader. Many will leave tonight
for Tracy to meet the coming statesman.
Others will go up TO Port Costa in the
morning. Among the delegates that will
meet Colonel Finerty are the following:

were made by number of delegates.

!, "This is very hard" he said feelingly,
and am feeling blue"
This admission from Chief Crowley,
porter who has interviewed him almost
daily for the past seventeen years without
getting more than purely business facts,
Is indicative of the tremendous strain un-
der which he is laboring.
Well, If the Chief feels blue tn at color is
nothing as compared to the coloring of his
mems feelings. ALI along the line, no
matter on what beat an officer was found
and interrogated. the answer was the
same.
"We'll never get another Chief like
him.
Chief Crowley, from what his men say,
has endeared himself to them as few lead
ers have ever done anywhere. While he
was strict, they say, he was always fair.
:, They were talking last evening around
the assembly-roem at the new City Hall.
They were oldtimers like George Birdsall,
Harry Reynolds, Jim Gillen, Harry Hook,
John Martin and others connected with
the various stations abont the city. They
have been in the department for many
years, but the Chief was in it before them
and the force was not so large as to cause
his deeds to be cast about, spread and for
gotten.
They recalled his first claim to distinc-
tion when he had been Chief only about
three days. 1t was when a quarrel arose
between white men and Chinese at the
corner Of Front and Sacramento streets in
1856. With handful of men on whom he
could depend he rushed in between the
two factions. 1t was about the time when
the hatred for Chinese labor was budding,
and to take the part of the Mongolian was
almost taking ones life in his hands.
1t was shortly after this that Crowley
got the starter for the reputation he has
now of having quelled more riots with less
bloodshed than any Chief of Police in the
world. 1t was during the railroad troubles
in the Potrero in 1867. Again it was
trouble between whites and Chinese. The
The San Francisco call., 1896-03-02
whites outnumbered the Chinese three to

whites outnumbered the Chinese three to
one.
They threw the cars over the embank-
ment and burned up the shanties where
the enemy lived. At that time there were
but seventy men on the police force, in
Guiding prison-keepers, clerks and non
combatauts. Crowley enlisted them all,
but as horses enough could not be hired or
got only thirty reached the scene of con-
fict. Those were wild times, and either
good, sound advice or good, sound
thrashing had to be administered. The
Chief, riding up in the midst of the 5000
rioters, adopted the milder course.
Now, look herep' he exclaimed from
the saddle on his horse, attracting the at
tention of the men who were gathering,
II am Chief of Police, and | don't want
any rioting in this county. If you want
to make trouble I'll get out here and give
you battle. If you lick me your victory
will only be a short one, and Tll be back
and will give you the soundest licking you
ever got in your lives.
"If you don't want trouble move on to
your homes when l order my men to
charge
The San Francisco call., 1896-03-02

The order to charge was given, and the
thirty mounted officers cleared away the
5000 rioters in thirty minutes.
But the most exciting time the Chief
had was in the first year of his appoint
ment. 1t seems that even the Goldenson
riot was tame as compared to it. 1t was
when little four-year old Maggie Ryan was
assaulted and murdered by a fiend named
Charles Quinn, who was subsequently sem
fenced to life imprisonment at San Quen-
tin, and who died there. The entire City
was wild over the matter. Captain Lees
and the Chief were out doing regular
police duty as patrolman might do to-
day.
They captured the murderer and were
taking him from the wharf to the old
City Prison on Washington and Kearny
streets. The mob, shouting and in
creasing at every block, wanted to take
Quinn and lynch him, but as fast
as they would approach they were
driven back. Finally when Dunbar alley
was reached and the mob saw the man
escaping from their grasp, they followed
