The dramatic quality of the incident can be understood when it is stated that pr. Brown read the confession to the Bay Conference, and that in every tone of his voice was a tremulous plea for mercy. His face, pale when he ap- peared, became flushed; his arms, at first resting quietly, waved in gestic- ulation. He was pleading for his min iSterial life
 MT. Browns appearance here was a surprise hardly less great than his par tial acknowledgment of a guilt he had strenuously denied. The particulars of his trial do not need to be recalled. It was one of length and bitterness, dur ing which one of the foremost local churches was almost split in twain. and it resulted in his having to go to other fields. At Dubuque he was given the hand of fellowship, and later took charge in Chicago. While there he practically challenged the Bay Con ference to a reopening of the matter. Delegates were sent from here to Chi cago, and again Brown came out of the ordeal. having gained nothing. Final adjudication remained with the Bay Conference, and yesterday was the time for consideration
 MT. Brown has been here since Sat urday, although few were aware of the fact. He was in the church at Eff teenth street, near Mission, all the time hisfate as minister was being debat- ed, but remained in the hestudy of the Rev.

recent troubles. I know that I have the confidence of the people of Chicago. It was known there that I intended to apply for membership to sthe Monday Club, and for my benefit the constitu- ton of the organization was so changed that it was necessary for one third of the members to vote against an applicant instead of a single fndi- vidual. My friends had this change made in the hope that I would apply for membership in the club, but I de- clined to do so.
 Since my trouble has become known to the world I have letters from the interior of China, from France, Ger many and other European countries, some defending my position and others condemning me for what has hap pened. l suppose that I have received in all over 1000 letters. I hope the ex- ample of my troubles will be a warn ing to those who have sinned as have sinned. and that my trial will prove a benefit to others.
 'I may have no permanent abode after tonight, and I desire that those of my friends who wish to reach me may address letters to me in care of Rev. George B. Hatch of Berkeley, who is the secretary of the Bay Con- ference"
 This was the substance of all that MT. Brown said while waiting in sus- pense After the conference had rem dered its decision he seemed somewhat broken in spirit.

dict of the Bay Conference was not made until last Wednesday evening"" he said in answer to an inquiry. My intention to depart from Chicago, where I had the full confidence of my congre- gation, was known to only one person. My wife and boy were kept in ignor- ance of my departure for Cali fornia, because I did not wish to worry them and because I wished to arrive in San Francisco en- tirely unannounced. The hotel at which I registered on my arrival, and whom I lodged with later 1 do not wish to tell Suffice it to say that I sent first to Dr. Mclean and later to Rev c. R. Brown, who has been my friend throughout this trouble. I knew that my fate was to be decided at the ad- journed meeting which is being held, and l was fully prepared. Whatever the outcome I shall send my resignation this evening to the Green Street Con- gregational Church. of which I am now the pastor. This resignation is abso- lute, and should the conference refuse to clear me and cast me out I shall preach in the streets, in halls or in any place where I may have the opportun- ity.
 No man is so well prepared to preach from the text the wages of sin is death as I am. and I shall make that the burden of my message to the world. I know not how I shall make my livelihood, yet I know that God cares for those who care for him and am prepared for whatever may come

It is almost a certainty that the pres- ent Grand Jury will make a thorough investigation of the alleged frauds per- petrated in the building of the New City Hall dome.
 There has been a great deal of discus- sion all over the city over the revela- t1onS made by eX-Grand Juror D. O'SuI- livan, who alleges that the contract for the building of the City Hall dome was fraud which enabled the principals to slight their work.
 In spite of the fact that Auditor Frederick and Mayor PheIan have stated that there were proper substitu- tions for all alleged defalcations, it Is stated on good authority that there is a great probability that Auditor Brod- erick's suggestion that the present Grand Jury investigate the old ones conduct will be literally compiled with.
 Mayor Phelan does not pretend that he is lawyer, yet he was wise enough to wink the other eye" when asked whether he believed from his investi- gations that the City Hall Commission CTS had exceeded their authority when they allowed substitutions of one class of work for another in the contract for the building of the dome
 If this sort of slipshod method may go on without let or hindrance," said a well-known lawyer yesterday, there will be no way by which to determine when the city has been bunkoed. Whenever work is not done according to specifications some apologist will be seen rising up to say that, although the work was not done something else some vague and unprovided for thing was done in place of it."

Admiral DeWeY,S Religion.

It will take Admiral Dewey the rest of
his life to catch up with his own reputa.
ton and inform himself of what has come
to be known about him at home since
that May morning when he became IA
nous before breakfast. Every possible
theory about his ancestry, habits, and
state of mind seems to have been offered
during the past month to the acceptance
OF his countrymen. His religious prefer
ences, for one thing, have been the SUBJ
ject of several dissertations and ingenious
hypothesis. 1t has been averred that
his mother was Jewess, and that the
best materials in him were Jewish. 1t
has also been confidently asserted that he
is a Roman Catholic. The Buffalo Com
mercial has printed letter which seems
conclusive as to his religious affiliations
1t is from Mr.. Lewis, rector of Christ
Church in Montpelier, Vermont, who
says he is authorized by the Hon. Charles
Dewey, Of Montpelier, to say that the
Admiral is loyal communicate of the
Protestant Episcopal church.
The AdmiraPs politics have been as
much discussed as his religion, with the
result of failure to discover that he has
any politics. But, after all, if he doesn't
know whether he is democrat or re.
publican, he is no worse off than many
thousands of his countrymen ashore
