order as interpreted by vigilant members
of the police force.
Two hundred patrolmen under the i'm

entire detail commanded by Captain Witt

'IROQUOIS OPPOSE RA|NEY
After a Stormy Meeting They
Oppose His Bills to La.
crease Pay.

There was stormy meeting OF the
Iroquois Club last night and it was nearly
midnight when the warning factions dis
persed.
The friends of the Police and Fire de-
partments were numerous at the meeting.
Police Court clerks Fire Department en-
ployes and many from the Street Depart
ment packed the halls and desperate
effort was made to have the club indorse
those bills now pending in the Legislature
which seek to increase the salaries of de-
tectives and of nearly every body in the
Fire Department.
After a long, heated debate the Fire and
Police departments were defeated, except
that the club favored paid Fire Depart
ment and recommended that Fire Chief
Sullivan's salary be raised TO $4,000.
Joseph Leggett and Raymond Robins
made arguments against the proposed
bills. Mr.. Leggett said it wonld be crimi-
nal folly to paw out more money a time
when the public schools are about to close
for lack of funds. He said that the pro-
posed measure would increase the ex-
penses OF the City nearly $500, per
annum.
The attempt to have the club indorse
the pending bills was defeated by a vote

British Ship Burmah Arrives From
Newcastle, but Started Little Earlier
Than the Square higger.
The Swanhilda will not come in and
| every body who takes any interest in the
capture of Butler, the so-called murderer,
is getting disgusted. "Square-riggers'
! have been reported time and again, but
on almost every occasion the vessel has
proven to be either a coaster or bark,
while the Iong-look ed for vessel is four
masted ship. The following message,
dated "Farallon Island, January %, 1897,
11:45 A. M" was received by A. Carlisle,
All Montgomery street, yesterday:
square-rigged ship just hove in sight about
fifteen miles southwest. Last night at sunset
sighted a ship to southwark. Too thick and
dark to make her out. W. A. BEEMAN.
Mr.. Carlisle has a mum ber of carrier
pigeons out at the Lighthouse station and
every "square-rigger" sighted means the
liberation of one of the birds. They go
direct to the owners lofts in Berkeley
and from there the news is telephoned TO
San Francisco.
The ship reported by the carrier pigeon
upon coming close in was reported bv the
Merchants Exchange to be the British
ship Burmah: sixty-nine days from New
castle, n. s. w. She started four days
ahead of the Swanhilda.
The Burmah reported having had south
erly and easterIy winds to latitude SO deg.
south, westerly winds to latitude 80 deg.
south, northeast and easterly winds from
latitude 80 deg. south to % deg. north.
longitude ID deg. 81 min. west. She
crossed the equator on the last day of the
year, in longitude 124 deg. west. From
that time and place to this port she had

HER FINAL REST
IN LAUREL HILL
The Remains Of Mrs. Mary
E. Flood Laid in the
Vault.
Only Four Mourners Belonging
to the Family Followed
the Casket.
No Will Known to Exist, as the Prop.
erty of the Deceased Had Been
Transferred to H.r Children.

The last sad rites of the church and the
final adieu of the immediate relatives of
the late Mrs. Mary Emma Flood, widow
of the deceased millionaire, James c.
Flood, were held at the brownstone resi-
dence of the Flood family yesterday fore
noon at 10 80 o'clock.
The Rev. Father Wyman of st. Mary 8
Church, on Dupont and California stree Is,
conducted the services in the parlors of
the mansion, after which he withdrew,
leaving but the immediate relatives to bid
final adieu.
There was no concourse of visitors, and
the usual formalities attending the fune-
raj of the rich, such as honorary pallbear-
ers and floral offerings, were entirely dis
pensed with. N. Gray, the undertaken,
provided the body bearers, and with two
black horses attached to the hearse, the
casket was silently borne to its last resting
place in Laurel Hill cemetery, followed
by four carriages.
Two OF these contained James L. Flood,
Richard III. Follis and his son James ii.
and James E. Walsh, the private secretary
of James L. Flood. The other two car
riages contained the male servants and
the manager of the San Mateo residence.
There we're no ladies present. Miss Flood
remained at home.
There were no services of any kind at
the cemetery. The front slab in one OF
the inches in the Flood mausoeum had
been removed and the casket was placed in
| its last receptacle beside the one contain
ing the body of James G. Flood.
As lar as could be ascertained from Mr..
Walsh, who is thoroughly conversant
with the business of the Flood family,
| there is no will left by the deceased, for
the simple reason that there was nothing
! to convey by will as Mrs. Flood had some
time ago decided all her realty to her two
children, and the bestowal of all her per-
sonal property to the same persons was

HUGO HEROLD'S RECITAL
The San Francisco Barytone Is
Very Warmly Re-

A large number of music lovers were at
tracted to Golden Gate Hall last night to
hear the singing of Hugo r. Herold, who
recently returned home to this City after
winning number OF musical successes in
Europe.
The choice of programme showed that
the California singers taste inclines more
toward concert than toward opera. Some
of Mr.. Herold's friends were disappointed
that he had not given them a single
operatic aria in arranging last night s
programme, but the selections showed
such culture and refined taste that no
lover OF music had anything to regret in
any of the numbers.
The vocal part OF the concert was ali
