THIEVES
 LAUGH AT

John Holland, a Southern Pat rol Wagon Driver, the
 Latest Victim.
ROGUEs ROB A RESIDENCE
They Get Away With Five Hundred Dollars Worth of
 Jewelry.

Glaring instances are being brought to light tending to show that the crim- inal element is growing bOlder with the winter season. The police attribute this apparent defiance of the law to the in Aux of strangers attracted by the Jubi- lee and are confident that they can keep evil doers in check.
 Nevertheless a daring burglar, whose identity is unknown, last night visited the City Hall and, breaking open a locker in which was stored the cloth ing of the patrol-wagon drivers, got away with a $50 Overcoat belonging to John Holland, who drives the Southern Station wagon. The lockers, which are used by the patrol l-wagon drivers, are situated opposite the Southern Station and are under the very noses of the police.
 Shortly after o'clock last evening Holland was sent on a run, and when he returned a short time afterWard he was surprised to find that his locker had been broken open and his valuable overcoat taken. A young man was seen leaving the hall with something bulky under his coat, and 1t is supposed that he was the thief. Several weeks go the same locker was forced open,
 
 to another driver was stolen.
 As if to furnish another instance of the prevalence of this species of crime C. M. Converse, who lives at 1431 Oak street, reported to the police last night that burglars entered the house last Monday afternoon and stole a miscella- neous assortment of Jewelry, valued at $500 The family were absent at the time, having left the house to view the parade. When they returned several hours later they were surprised to find one Of the panels in the front door broken. A large cobble-stone was ly- ing on the front stoop, and judging from the ragged hole in the door MT. Converse is convinced that the burglars broke the panel with the stone. They then reached in and unlocked the door.
 After gaining an entrance the burg lars forced open bureau drawers and closets and even cut open several mat tresses, so determined were they not to overlook anything of value. Mir Converse has furnished the police with a description of the stolen property. and every effort is being made to ap- prehend the burglars.
 On the same day an attempt was made to enter a residence at 1427 Col den Gate avenue, but the burglars were frightened eff by a servant

the Amoor across mountains to IT, kutsk- American methods of construc- ton are employed. By decree of the CZar all the rails used are of Russian manufacture. Many of the locomo- tives in use are of American make.
 Perhaps within a year the railway will be completed from the head of navigation on the Amoor to Irkutsk and at the latter place connect with the main line of the Russian Siberian Rail way As the main line is extended eastward from Irkutsk and westward from Vladivostok connection will be made with a road building in Manchu- ria to connect Port Arthur with the Russian system of roads.
 Troops can now be moved in small attachments across the continent from Russia in Europe to the Pacific Ocean. The Amoor River is open from April to September. The stream carries such a large volume of water that there is no hindrance to navigation during the open months of the year. As the gap is being closed rapidly between Irkutsk and the head of the river navigation on the Amoor the marching distance is being correspondingly lessened. Rus sia will soon be in position to move large bodies of troops from Moscow and St. Petersburg to vulnerable places of }A~~ Ar'nirA on the Pacific.

they shall sell and dispose of their wines to the consumers.
 That this organization is on the downward path can readily be seen by observant men In this business; and this little passing episode of Mrs. Koh- ler's insolvency is sufficient proof that things in this association are not what they should be.
 'I believe this woman has been either bunkoed into accepting stock the value of which was exaggerated, or that the association since Mrs. Kohler joined it has been steadily on the de- cline"
 When Mrs. Kohler joined this asso- citation" he continued, "she was told that in exchange for the plant and stock of the firm of Kohler & Frohling she was to receive 40.000 shares in the she was told. s100 a share. par value. She is now informed that her entire in terest in the association amounts to but S150,000, and I doubt whether she could realize this sum in case of the disposal of her entire stock.
 Despite this enormous deprecia- tion in the value of the stock the man. agers presume to dictate prices to pro- ducerS, threatening them with boycott unless they comply with their orders.
 This is the most absurd specimen of business tact I ever heard of," said
 
 tors of the 4-cent reduction are fools"
 And thus the merry war goes on, and it is matter of conjecture at present who will win out in the end, as the California Wine Makers Corporation ayers that it is in the right, and the wine association people will not admit that they are in the wrong. AS it is an inevitable and indisputa- ble fact that when two factions wage war and wrangle over the same bone, a third party is going to be the gainer by their dispute, the point at issue just at present is, who is going to derive the benefit of this dispute and carry off the bone of contention? Sympathy seems to be on the side of the producer.

LATEST MOVE OF
 REV. co. BROWN
He Will Speak in Metropolitan Temple Next Sunday
 Evening.
The Star SensatiOnalist Not Yet Ready to Retire From Public
 Gaze.

The Rev. c. O. Brown, who has never been known to do anything that was not sensational, is now about to make his appearance before the public in new role. Last Monday evening he created a sensation by appearing be- fore the Bay Conference with a con- fession-or, as he termed it, an admis- sion that a portion of the charges against him was well founded, and appealed for mercy. The mercy was not granted, however, and the impress sion went abroad that he would quietly make his bow and disappear from the public stage.
 But those who made that guess are entitled to "a few more thinks" as re- tiring to a life of obscurity or even leaving the city without making public appearance is appar- rently about the last thing Dr. Brown would think of doing, and he now publicly announces his inten- tion of appearing at Metropolitan Hall on Sunday evening next, at which time and place he will make another confession-not to a select assemblage of pastors, but to any and all corners.
 When interviewed by a Call repre- sentative yesterday Dr. Brown spoke as follows:
 'I shall speak next Sunday evening
The San Francisco call., 1898-01-27

in Metropolitan Hall at o'clock by the invitation and advice of many people. My theme will be the Wages of Sir" !" It is not my expectation to find any condition of things that will ffatter human pride I came to this city to do an unpleasant duty, and portion of that duty 1 owe to the whole com munity."
 What do you think of the interviews that appeared in the several morning papers this morning with reference to your public acknowledgement
 'I am extremely gratified, as in the nature of things I would be, that the most prominent members of the Green street church can feel so kindly toward me under these trying circumstances. MT. and Mrs. Stone and MT. and Mrs. Hanson are among the leading mem bers of my Chicago church. When l came to San Francisco l fully expect ed to go away from this city without friend On the contrary, I have been met with the greatest cordiality, and men who have opposed me most strenuously have invited me to their homes and I have availed myself and shall avail myself of these invitations.
 What calling do you expect to pur- sue hereafter"
 Tt is impossible for me at present to say I am as much in the dark on that subject as you are. I do not know where I shall find work nor what the work will be. Of course l must find something soon, because my means are reduced. I am willing to do anything that is honorable for the support of my family"
 There was a division of opinion at the meeting of the Bay Conference at which Dr. Brown was expelled from membership and the opposing factions are contending as to whether he shall be expelled from the ministry or be re- instated in case he should show spirit of true Christian repentance The yer dict simply excludes him from affilia- tion with the churches of this coast
 The Ecclesiastical Council of Chicago which has accepted Dr. Brown into its fold is the only body that can give the decree of expulsion and it now lies with that organization to decide whether he shall be received back into the folds or made an outcast.

result may be that China will Mongol- 1ze Russia. The Chinese merchants in Vladivostok are influential and suc- cessful. Russia is powerful in Man churia and Korea, and power once gained by Russia Is never relin- quished."
 Mir. Dunn gives an interesting ac- count of the progress # work in the building of the great Russian Siberian railroad to connect St. Petersburg and Vladivostok. It is his belief that the work on the main line cannot be com pleted in 1900, but a rail and water route will be opened for traffic across the continent of Asia before that year comes. Chelalisk, in the valley of the eastern slope of the Ural Mountains, is practically the initial point of the Trans-Siberian Railroad. The line which connects that point with St. Petersburg and Moscow was finished some years ago. From Cheialisk east the road is completed and in operation 10 NlJni Ydinsk, a point about $50 miles rom Irkutsk. Much of the track on the extension to Irkutsk is laid In order to complete the main line from lrkutsk to Vladivostok 1t will be ne- | miles or railway. In going from St. Petersburg to point near Irkutsk, MT. Dunn was eleven days in the railway car He said of the journey: we were going all the time, night and day. and we seemed to be going at a fair rate or speed, but was eleven days on the rail-"

 The traveller leaving Vladivostok for St Petersburg or Moscow goes by rail north for 660 miles and there connects with steamer on the Amoor River. The river is one of the largest in the world, being navigable 1500 miles above the point where the railroad strikes the stream.

There is an element in the Bay Con- ference that believes that pr. Brown having confessed and professed repent ance is entitled to be received back into the fold, and certain strong friends of his are now working in that direction. Had the matter come to a vote of the individual members on Monday evening 1t is probable that the decree of expul- sion would not have been recorded against him.
 The action of the majority in voting that his fate be placed in the hands of a committee changed the trend of af- fairs and made the final decision a mat ter for future consideration.

in cultivating these sentiments Of
kinship which are the forerunners of
formal alliance"
The Daily Chronicle, referring to
the banquet as remarkable
gathering of men who are forces in
the modern world" says:
"The dinner was the beginning Of
movement which, unless unwise
words or Unforeseen mis-chance
should wreck it, must carry us far.
1t is important that all men, friends
or foes, should realize that this
movement has come to stay"
The Standard says:
at would be premature to speak
Of an alliance in tho sense in which
continental Chaucellors employ the
term, but it would be an error not
less grave to deprecate the benefits
which must accrue to the United
States and Great Britain from the
knowledge that they can look to
each other for sympathy and CO.
operation"
The Morning Post says:
"The banquet has made per
manent addition to the reciprocal
friendship which has been derived
from recent events in various parts
of the world, and, while agreements
in smaller points, such as tho Cana
dian and American differences, are
most valuable on the larger issues
treaties are not necessary. The
identity OF interests of the United
States and Great Britain is as close as
the community of their traditions,
and their destiny is splendid because
it is one"

BROTHERS IN RACE AND SYM
PATTY.

LONDON, June 3.-One of the most
enthusiastic banquets ever given in
London was the Anglo-American
banquet, given this evening at the
Hotel Cecil.
Six hundred Britons and Amer
leans assembled fraternally, the pur-
pose OF the entertainment being the
promotion Of good-fellowship be-
tween the kindred races. The Eng
lishmen were the hosts, while the
resident Americans were the guests.
Political, business and literary cir
Giles were well represented, but the
purpose of making the affair spon-
taneous and wholly unofficial cele.
bration excluded the Embassy.
American aud British flags were
draped over the tables.
Among the banqueters were the
Earl OF Carlisle, Viscount Powers
court, Sir Norman Leroy, Sir Fred
erick Pollock, Sir Richard Temple,
Lord Beresford, the Dean of Here.
ford, the Rev. Newman Hall, Mr..
Hiram Maxim and George w. Ward,
manager OF the Commercial Gable
Company.
Literature and journalism were
represented by Sir John Robinson,
manager Of the Daily News; Mr..
Alfred Harmsworth, proprietor Of
the Daily Mail and Evening News;
Mr.. Edmund Stead, editor OF the
Review OF Reviews; Sir Walter
Brant, Mr.. Anthony Hope, DR..
Conan Doyle and Miss Beatrice
Harraden.
Lord Bernard Coleridge presided.
In proposing the health OF President
Mckinley, he said: "Where eau the
whole world show such a line of
rulers of men as have been the free
choice OF the American people,"
The speakers were the Bishop Of
Ripon (the Rt. Rev. William Bernard
Carpenter), Lord Brassey, Colonel
Taylor, president OF the American
Society in London; Sir George
William DIES Vereoux, Mr.. Newton
Crane, Earl Grey, Professor Albert
Won Dycey, Mr.. George w. Cable
and Sir Frederick Pollock, Corpus
Professor of jurisprudence at Ok
ford.
The English speakers lauded the
achievements of the revolution as
enthusiastically as if they had been
their own victories.
The Bishop Of Ripon elected the
greatest enthusiasm by a pointed
reference to the war, saying that
although both nations have been
accused OF worshipping the dollar,
we both know when to spend our
money, and we know that some
cases are worth spending any price
for"
Lord Coleridge prayed that vic
tory might perch on the American
banner-"in the interest of America,
in the interest of Spain and in the
interest of common humanity"
Twice America has fought with
all her might" he says. "The first
fight was forced by the imbecility
Of the King, and she was right
(cheering); the second time she
fought for the freedom OF slaves,
and the same spirit is with her yet"
Tremendous cheeringI4
He advocated a permanent tri-
bunal for the settlement of interna-
tional differences.
Lord Brsssey said that there were
closer ties than a written alliance,
ties which could not be broken.
Colonel Taylor raised hurricane
OF cheering by saying: "As you
haze stood by as d, our day Of trial,
when your day Of trial comes, count
upon uS."i
Sir Frederick Pollock replied, pre-
dieting that there would be zone
fleet under two flags to keep the
peace of the world"
The morning papers commenting
upon the banquet, all speak in the
