adopted by the Demopoptic-C Cratulists to
have all the candidates for Congress re-
sign and to have their places filled by the
joint fusion committee. c. F. McGlashan,
Peoples party candidate from the Second,
had blood in his eye in the California
Hotel fusion slaughter-nouse before the
meeting of the joint committees yesterday.
He charged Caminetti and Gator with
having conspired to job him il the new
deal by appointing some one else in his
district in case he should resign, and he
swore he would not resign. He named as
his authority ex-Congressman Louttit of
Stockton.
Mr.. Caminetti denied the truth of the
suspicion and said something uncompli-
mentary concerning Louttit, whereupon
McGlashan f1ared up and declared that
Louttit was his friend and that he did not
propose to hear him abused behind his
back.
Gator denied the soft impeachment also,
but McGlashan was not appeased and
went away breathing defiance.

Der Z
The joint Congressional conference COM
mittee then proceeded to organize, ten
members being present.
Eugene N. Deuprey was elected tenn
porarv chairman and W. P. Lawlor tenn
porary secretary.
In so much as the Silver repres entatives
had no candidate for Congress. and would,
therefore occupy com paratively neutral
position, it was decided that the perma-
nent officers be- selected among their num-
Der. Accordingly Charles D. Lane was
nominated as permanent chairman by
E. M. Wardell, seconded by George W.
Baker. Mr.. Lane was elected unanimously.
A. B. Kinne nominated James P. Edoff
for permanent secretary, seconded by E.
M. Wardell, and he was also chosen unan-

undergoing street repairs, gives to that
portion of the Mission an improved and
respectable appearance so far as the
streets go.
The City authorities are in favor with
the property-owners, so far as bringing
Garfield square into harmony with the
surrounding improvements is concerned
new stone sidewalk and a three-foot
stone wall of the same material are being
put down around the square, which,
though small. lying as it does between
Treat avenue, Twenty-fifth, Twenty sixth
and Harrison streets, is nevertheless quite
boon to the residents in that section.
This improvement to the sidewalk will
necessltate the removal of about three
feet of earth from the front of the square,
where it is that much too high to conform
with the grade on Treat avenue. With
the removal of this elevation the large,
unsightly and offensive shaggy pines on
that line will be cut down and converted
into firewood
This improvement, together With the
improvements about Alta square, between
Jackson and Clay streets, is being done
under the immediate supervision of
Charles w. Love, the head gardener for
the City, through whose skill and manage
ment the public squares have been mate
rally improved during the past two years.

covered mistake in the late A. Page
Browns plans for the new ferry depot
Owing to transposition of figure the
State will be put to many thousands of
dollars expense, and now the question
arises, "Who is to pay for the blunderp"
The Commissioners discuss ed the matter
at yesterdays meeting, and it was finally
decided to instruct TREY l.. Ford, the
boards attorney, TO confer with the late
architects bondsmen, to see if an amlcable
understanding could not be reached. The
commission is determined not to shoulder
the expense entailed IN correcting the
bunder, 80 the late architects estate or his
bondsmen will have to suffer.
The Stonecutters' Union sent three rep
resentatives to represent them before the
commission. They asserted that Sub
contractor O'Neil had said that men on
stone work would be made to labor ten
hours a day. President Colnon assured
them that eight hours would constitute q
days work and that all contractors would
be held strictly to that line.
Chief Wharfnger Root reported to the
board that the customs authorities occu-
pied twelve places on the water front and
that only one paid rent. President Colno on
suggested a conference with the Collector
of the Port, and it was decided TO ask Mr.
Wise to be in attendance at tomorrow WIS
meeting. President Colnon will insist
that Uncle Sam pay his dues the same as
any private individual.
The coal market is overstocked and a

the prisoner was locked up in the Harbor
Police station.
The ship Hawaiian Isles arrived in
Sydney, N. S. W., yesterday. Captain
Kustel reports light winds all the way.
Captain Kustel of the barkentine Sharp
shooter and Captain KusteI (brothers) OF
the Hawaiian Isles sailed within few
days OF each other. Owing TO some de-
fective work done by a relative of A. p.
Lorentzen, the Sharpshooter had to put
bsck for repairs. The barkentine thus
lost nearly two weeks. Nevertheless, she
beat the Hawaiian Isles over a week into
port.

Parrish, missionary who will leave for
Japan to-day by the Coptic for temper
ance crusade around the world.
Miss Parrish is being sent out under the
auspices of the National w. G. T. u. and
a large number of ladies interested in the
blue ribbon cause were present at the
speed on her way.
The rooms had been charmingly deco
rated with flowers for the occasion, and
the brief speeches, which formed the in
formal programme, were diversified with
music and re ecitations. Miss Parrish,
simply dressed in a dark costume, with a
gay bouquet OF flowers at her waist, was
the recipient of many hand-shakes and
good wishes during the intermissions in
the programme. During some of the ad-
dresses she was visibly moved by the
words of friendship and admonition
spoken by her elders in the temperance
cause, and when first called on for a
speech she said half bIokenly that there
are moments when thought lies too deep
for words.
Among the speakers who gave words OF
cheer to the outgoing missionary were:
Mrs. Sturtevant Peet, president of the
California w. C. I. u; Mrs. Grace Kim
ball of Oakland; Mrs. f. d. Spencer, who
gave accounts of other missionaries who
had gone out to the Orient; Mrs. Hobson
of Sacramento, who said that her interest
in the work had never tagged since 1873.
Mrs. Reesner of Toledo, Mrs. Craise and
Mrs. Gilmore of Denver, Miss Cdlbertson
and Mrs. Henrietta Brown also spoke en-
couraging words.
Miss Hewitt of South America said that
In Montevideo there was a band of ardent
workers. Rev. Mr.. Hendry. former mis-
sionary in China, made an earnest ad-
dress. describing the baleful effects of
opium In the fowery land. During the
last two decades he said the opium habit
had increased to an alarming extent in
China. and he severely scored the British
Government for tacitly encouraging the
opium trade.
When asked for an account of her pro-
posed work Miss Parrish said that her
plans would depend good deal upon
circumstances. Japan is my first
thought, and after that Australia" she
said. II am willing to give the best part
of my life to the Japanese. but L do not
know how they will look upon my WORK" !"
The reception concluded with brief adj
dresses by Mrs. Ada Van Pelt and other
visitors.
Miss Clara Parrish is well known in the
tenn perance field in this country. She is a
native of Paris, ILL.,, and in 1889 was ap-
pointed field organizer for her own branch,
and in 1892 she became National organizer
for the Young woman's branch, and since
then has done effective work in twenty
four different States.

Ola Podrida Tickets Not Conten
plated by the Election Law as
II Exists Here.

Secretary of State Brown yesterday
stated to several persons in this City that
he would refuse to place upon the ticket
the names of the fusion Demopoptlc-
CratuIistic Presidential electors on the
ground that the election law of California
required the names of the electors to be
arranged alphabetically in groups under
their party designation.
He said that as soon as the Demopops
and Cratulists presented the names to
him he would dictate a letter to the
Attorney General asking for his opinion
in the matter. Then he took the evening
train for Sacramento.
Attorney-General W. F. FITZGERALD was
seen at his residence last evening by a
representative of The CALL. The Attorney
General was willing 70 discuss the weather,
the whale hunt, the condition of the
prune crop or any other subject, but he
declined to be interviewed for publication
on the question of whether he had or had
not advised the Secretary OF State not to
recognize the fusion electors. He said he
had given the Secretary of State no off,
ciaI opinion in the matter.
"Was he given to..understand that he
could not officially and legally recognize
the fusion electors, either directly or in
directly from your" was asked.

that he intended to write me a letter ask
ing, me for written opinion on the sub
iect."
HAS the letter been written?"
"I have not received such letter." re-
piled Attorney General Fitzgerald with a
low chuckle, which was the outburst of
several preceding smiles.

the subject2" was asked.

Secretary of State" said the Attorney
General quizzicaily. when I have an

established in any other State showing
that fusion electors cannot be legally ac-
cepted?"

to be interviewed on this subject he said,
with smile as broad as the State at
large.
"But upon what ground did the Secre-
tary of State make such statement"
Now, I like reporters; they have al
ways treated me all right, but you must
excuse me from talking If had any in
formation to give out or had prepared an
opinion you should know it."
Attorney-General Fitzgerald paused re-
fectively and then suggested: "Go and
see Brown-but no, he's gone to Sacra-
mento, believe; telephone him-that's
1t, telephone Brown. Just say declined
to be interviewed. said the Attorney
General with a concluding smile.
Secretary of State Brown was seen in
Sacramento last night Immediately after
his arrival there, out positively declined
to be interviewed on the subject.

The new bill at the Tivoli last night con-

from "Romeo and Juliet" followed by the
"Cavalleria Rustlcana," for the first time
this season. Both performances ELECTED
warm applause from large audience.
In the Romeo and Juliet" excerpt. the
three principals repeated their excellent
work of the second night of the season.
signor Michelena made an impassioned
Romeo, Nina Bertini Humphreys was
thoroughly satisfactory Juliet, both vocally
and histrionically. and Signor Abramoff's
fine voice and manly bearing did good
service in the role of Friar Laurence.
The "Cavalleria" was given in two acts,
as Mascagni originally wrote it. The
inter mezzo was played as prelude to the
second act Nina Bertini Humphrys made
an effective Santozza, and she. sang the
music of her role with good deal of finish
and expression. Bernice Holmes was a
good Mamma Lucia. but Irene Null had
hardly dash and magnetism enough for
the role of Lola.

II. F. Stolz wishes to deny having ex-
posed diseased meat for sale. He is in
business at $40 Castro street. The sale for
which he wcs convicted on Monday was
of COW for an individual and not for the
public. He states that he had no desire to
do wrong and had no intention of deceiv-
ing the public. He is particularly careful
about his meat and rejects any but first
class meats. All the neighborhood recog-
nizes his relia bility as tirst-class butcher
