Accuse Frances f. willard Of q Viola
ton Of Faith.
The woman suffragists regard with any
thing but hospitality the intention to hold
a National Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union convention in this State.
That is, those women suffragists who are
not members OF the white ribbon army
are opposed to the holding of the conven-
ton in California this year. They allege
that the choice is most unwise one, and
that such suffragists as are to be found in
the w. G. +. U. ranks are being misled by
fanatical spirit.
'Wait while,' was the warning the
Simon pure suffragists gave the followers
of two banners. when the matter of hold
ing the National Convention here was first
agitated. But the white ribboners didn't
see it that way. They urged their claims
for the convention and have received the
assurance that it will be held here the
second week in Novembe The Native
Sons Hall has been engaged for the oc-
casion and an earnest effort Is being put
forth 10 secure much increased mem ber--
ship in order to make good showing be-
fore the convention.
Those who meet at the high councils
or are close to those having authority
therein, say that Miss Frances E. Willard,
leader of the Temperance Union, has vio-
lated a promise made to their com mander-
in-chlef, Miss Susan b. Anthony They
aver that Miss Anthony told Miss Willard
that California is viticulturist State.
hence the convention of temperance
women would antagonize large proper
tion OF its citizens. She assured her that
the asse m bling OF her clans at this time
would tend toward the defeat of the
eleventh amendment to the constitution
of California, because voters would con-
found the objects and work OF the two
forces ItSis claimed that Miss Willard
gave her promise that the convention
should not be held in California this wear
and that the authoritative announcement
that the plan would be adhered to aroused
much Indignation on the part of the
suffragists who believed they had been
''tricked.'
.sAnd now," said one of the indignant
ones yesterday. "our only hope is that
they won't be able to get transportation.

Christopher A. Buckley on the
Outcome of Democratic
Politics.
MR.. wARDALL ON PopUL1sM.
The Republican Situation Develops
Nothing and Awaits Days
to Come.

The workings of Republican politics in
San Francisco developed nothing in the
way of definite news yesterday. The Re-
publican County Committee will meet on
Thursday evening. mainly to elect sue
cessor to County Committeeman J. E..
Donovan, deceased
The proposition for another meeting of
the State Central Committee gathered
further strength yesterday among the lead
ing Republicans of the City, but nothing
definite was determined. This and several
other matters, which are parts of the local
Republican tangle, await the develop
ments of the next two or three days and
the meeting of he executive committee of
the State Central Committee on Thursday
afternoon.
In neither the Fourth nor Fifth Con-
gressional districts have the tangled af-
fairs of the party developed anything new
or anything which points to a harmonious
settlement. All elements of the party are
looking forward to something in the line
OF harmony and are anxious for it, but
nothing beyond the proposed meeting of
the central committee has been advanced
which affords any definite promise of sat-
isfactory results. Neither of the commit
tees elected in the Fourth District have
held further meetings. or are likely toEdo
so before the meeting of the executive
committee on Thursday. 1t is still likely
that before that day meeting of the COM
mitteemen of the Fifth District called for
Redwood City will be rearranged, though
Messrs. Aver, Keefe and Ross OF Santa
Clara and San Mateo counties still consti-
tute an independent faction, the purposes
of which are little understood. To-day
and tomorrow will likely develop num-
ber of facts and promises.

want to get your hands on the north end
OF the water front in order to injure our
trade and incidentally the shipping OF the
port. 1t only means the issuance OF few
more bonds on which you may or may not
pay interest while we are putting up good
solid cash."
AT this Fillmore laughed and remarked: ::
"A corporation, firm or individual is lucky
to be able to pay the interest on what 1t
owes these days"
This remark seemed to arouse Captain
Goodall. and he thundered forth: wv hen
you We're building your road the State OF
Callfornla gave you sixty acres OF ground,
which will eventually be the most valuable
part OF the City. Reclaim that land and
40 the handling of your freight on It,
Goodall, Perkins e Co. rent month by
month from the State lot 275 feet square
On that we have spent over S12, 600 In i'm
provements, and on il we have all the nee
essary facilities for minor repairs to our
vessels. Your corporation sends out, per-
maps, two steamers a week, while the four
or hve vessels owned or managed by
Goodall, Perkins e. Co. are sent to sea
every day in the week. Yet the few facili-
ties we have are to be curtailed and the
southern Pacific get hall OF the small
space We occupy"
The matter finally went over to give the
Commissioners an opportunity to thor
oughly investigate the matter.
Postmaster Frank McCoppin read let
ter from Second Assistant Postmaster
General G. Nelson. in which the latter
said the Government would probably
sanction the streetcar system Of mail de-
livery in San Francisco. President Colnon
SAID that all the facilities necessary at the
ferries would be provided.
The question of the free fruit mar
ket came up again. and the Commits.
sloners set apart Lombard street In order
to do everything possible to encourage the
movement.
Frultstands, newsstands and all other
places IN the ferry depot are to be cleared
out within thirty days. President Colnon
said 1t was about time the commission got
out OF the peanut business" and the
other members agreed with him.

FATE OF DEMOCRATS.
Chris Buckley and Others on the
Democratic State Central
Com nittee.

The Buckleyites on one hand and Gavin
McNab, w. P. Sullivan and others of the
Junta were extremely busy yesterday in
preparing for the Donny brook fair which
is expected to occur on Saturday when
the Democratic State Central Com mittee
meets at the California Hotel. They were
also busy about preparations for the re-
spective meetings Of their general COM
mitteeS.
The Buckley general comm ittee will
meet at Odd Fellows Hall on Wednesday
evening, adopt long, serious and forcible
resolutions setting forth the regularity
and right OF their organization; create an
executive committee of ninety mem bers,
which will in future be the practical
County Committee; appoint an able COM
mittee to represent them before the State
Central Committee and talk a good deal
about these and other things.
The Junta's general committee will meet
on Thursday evening and probably adopt
long and forcible resolutions in support
of the right and regularity of their organi-
zation, appoint an able committee to rep
resent them before the State Central Com
mIttee and talk q good deal about these
and other things
The main question of interest regarding
the meeting of the Junta's general COM
mittee on Thursday night is whether or
not there will be pitched battle between
the Rainey and anti-Rainey forces, the
Daggett and Lanigan strength in the COM
mitlee being credited to the Rainey side.
Gavin McNab and Chairman Sullivan are
making every effort to arrange things by
compromise or otherwise, so that there
will be no pitched battle. and so that an
appearance of harmony will attend the
meeting. Unless they do good and shrewd
politics between now and Thursday even
ing, the merry row they are seeking to
avoid will occur. No truce has yet been
Forty-fourth District, and the Rainey-
Daggett forces are yet in the attitude of
war.
The defeat of the Junta strongly appears
10 be sealed by the strength which Ralney
mittee. The shrewdest observers on all
makeup of the new general committee
credit Rainey, Daggett and Lanigan with
having a majority OF about seventy in the
new committee. 1t is both possible and
likely that Rainey will not consider it
good politics to display this strength on
the eve of the meeting of the State Central
Committee, and that at the meeting of the
Junta's general committee on Thursday
evening the proceedings will appear to be
a defeat for Rainey.
But whether Rainey displays his control
or not, his large strength in the committee
is depended upon by both the Bucklevites
and the independent Democrats to defeat
any proposition i'll favo of the recogni-
ton of the Junta by the State Central
Committee

HIS MONEY AND a DIAMOND.

BERKELEY, CAL, March 10.-A dark
veil of mystery enshrouds the long con-
tinued and wholly unaccounted for ab-
sence from Berkeley of Charles Louis
Olden nbourg, who, as was announced in
THE CALL, has prospects of inheriting the
title of Duke of luxembourg and a vast
estate in Germany. The last time he was
heard from was last Saturday, when he
boarded the II :I5 train from Palo Alto to
San Francisco. His brother fraternity
men at the university fear that he has
fallen the victim of foul play, and state
that his unprecedented absence is wholly
unaccountable. What gives rise to the
theory that he has been fouily dealt with
is the fact that when L. a. Hilborn, one of
his frat men, left him on Saturday
luxembourg wore on his hand a huge dia-
mond ring valued at $500, the gift sent to
The San Francisco call., 1896-03-11

him by the late Duchess of luxembourg,
besides having on his person an order on
the London. Paris and American Bank of
San Francisco for $3.50.
The ring was beautifully wrought, hav-
ing circular setting of a number OF large
diamonds, and was especially attractive TO
the eye.
Telegraphic dispatches and telephone
messages Of inquiry have been sent to his
friends in various parts of the State by his
fraternity men here, asking if anything is
known OF his whereabouts. but without
avail. His sister in San Francisco sent
several inquisitory messages to Berkeley
to-day asking If anything had been heard
from Olden bourg
L. A. Hilborn, U. C. '96, one of the pros
pective dukes most intimate college asso-
ciates and a memoe of the same Greek
letter fraternity, stated this evening con-
cerning the missing heir to royal
distinction:
II cannot account for Oldenbourg's long
silence in any way whatsoever. l have
been an intimate friend of his ever since
he entered college and never before has he
remained away from home SO long without
letting some ofus know of his whereabo
We expected him back TO Berkeley on SAT-
urday, but he did not come; Sunday
passed and no luxembourg; Monday came
'--'N 'S'N SAhN oSiii udo iICoiu Vi
him.
We began to be alarmed lest he had
fallen the victim of foul play, and so to-
day we have been sending out messages to
all his friends that we know of asking if
they have seen him.
"What makes US credit the theory that
he has been foully dealt with, besides his
seemingly unwarranted silence, is the fact
that he had on his person so much money
and such an attractive ring
"What adds still more weight to my
fears is the fact that mysterious romance
and burden OF jealousy are connected with
the possession of the royal heirloom. Just
what is the nature of the mystery am un-
able TO state, as | only heard luxembourg
remark that such was the case
III we do not hear from him by to-mor-
row.I shall notify Captain Lees of the case
and at the same time telegraph his father
III Mexico the facts as | know them.''
The students at the university have been
anxious for the past four or five days to
see the prospective new duke and congrat-
ulate him, it being fact that he has not
oeen in Berkeley since the announcement
OF his success but ne has not appeared.
The theory of foul play as advanced by
is fraternity brethren has caused no end

represented, Green's chances OF Deing ap-

and flowing beard. Kneeling little be-
hind him at his right is the Virgin Mary,
who is watching lovingly and caressingly
over him, while Jesus at the other size

The settings and the background are a
tropical conception, in which grass and
wild flowers and palm trees appear in the
soft hues of twilight that shows a distant
mountain silhouetted against the evening
sky.
The painting is by George Gumpel, who
recently came here from Seattle, where he
did some interior decorating in the Acad-

OF Our GOOD Help.
1t was some time before an appropriate
scene could be decided upon, the choice
being limited to the death OF the patron

said that if he (Green) had aspirations for

The stranger proved to be political
schemer who was trying to make a few
dollars from anglers who would have no
objection to be Fish Commissioners. He
stated TO Green that he had a strong pull
