NATIVE SONS ARE
 DEEP IN POLITICS
Who Gets the Plums of the Celebration Committee and
 the Grand ParlOr.
Two Mon Out for tho Committee Chairnaansh ship-The Grand
 Orator Fight

Next Saturday evening delegates from the twenty-one parlors of Native Sons in this city, three from each, will meet in the Native Sons building to prepare for the celebration of Admission day.
 The duty of the joint committee is to arrange for the transportation and ac- commodation of the members of the To- cal organizations, and it's labors are purely local. There is one important fea- ture, however, the information which its committee on transportation will get in regard to rates to and from the probable location of the celebration of the order. The favored city will be chosen by the Grand Parlor, which will meet in Ne vada City on the 18th inst, and the work of the joint committee will have a ma terial bearing on the selection.
 Who will be chairman of the commit tee is, a question already arousing con men in the field-Charles E. Mosher of Presidio Parlor and W. J. McCreary of National Parlor. Both men are popular, Martland has been secretary of that committee for several successive years and he will get it again this year. The 9her offes te ths haye m out n9 of the sub-committees will rest with the chairman, and so no one can foretell who will get the plums. From his position as superintendent of the hall. Martland will probably be on the press committee, but who will get the transportation and par ade committee chairmanships is an open question.
 Politics of the Grand Parlor meeting is also rife among the parlors, and the rela- tive merits of about fifty candidates are being argued pro and con. Judge Conley of Madeira, the first vice, will be made grand president-custom has made that a certainty. Custom has also made 1t rule that the grand orator shall come from the ranks of the trustees but custom will receive a setback, for David E. Morgan of Nevada is going to enter the race against Frank l.. Coombs. Coorbs is considered a winner Frank Sabichi of Los Angeles Is also out for the place but he shows but little strength here in the city, as yet.
 There is also said to be fight on for outside sentinel four aspiring sons having placed themselves in the office-seekers row, but the big fight will be over the oratorship. There are candidates for trustee galore, but the fight there will be general.

fail to find taker. Letters, proba- bly, misplaced, have often laid in the office for weeks and months undeliv- cred. The United States soldiers at Skaguay and Dyea have been called upon and have assisted in the inside distribution of mail, but clumsy mex perience in a postoffice has not been of great advantage.
 A rate war is probable from this end of Alaska travel to Puget Sound ports The Navarro has initiated a cut rate of $10 second class and s20 first class to Seattle. The opportunity was taken advantage of by about fifty messengers, among whom were several women. Men turning their backs on the trails are in a class distinctively alone. They have weakened at the hard work in front of them and sold their outfits, or they have lost their money gambling or are small speculators taking advantage of the cheap rate to return for eoods It is not expected that the cheap rates, if continued. will induce many to aban- don their trip to the interior at the present time. It is hardly to be antici- pated that the big steamship compa- nies will meet the rate, as there is not enough return business beyond the reg ular travel to justify it, but small lines, running one or two vessels. and tramp crafts will probably meet it.

Cruiser Brooklyn Cleared for Action During the
 Firing.
Commodore Schley and Cap tain Cook Are Satisfied
 With the Results.
Eiqht-Inch Guns Do Most Excellent Work With the Latest Ele-
 vatinG Appliances.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FORT MONROE, Va, April 7.-The Brooklyn, flagship of the flying squad ron, tried her S-inch guns to-day in order to test the new elevating appa- ratus. The test was not made solely to demonstrate the utility of the appa- ratus, but also to see if the turrets, after being so materially changed, would stand the shock lto which they are subjected. The test, which was un- der the direction of Commodore Schley and Captain Cook, was of a most satis- factory nature and Commodore Schley said that the Brooklyn was in the best fighting trim.
 At 1 o'clock D. m. the order, Clear ship for action" was given and in thir- ty-flve minutes every railing, rope, cap- stan, anchor, small boat and loose ham, per of every kind had been removed, and the big cruiser stood out grim and defiant in the sunlight. The guns used were the forward S-inch pair and the firing was under the direction of Lieu tenant Commander Mason, with Lieu tenant Rush in command of the turrets. Commodore Schley and Captain Cook
 
 vibration of the turret, which after ward was declared to be minimum.
 The first shot was sent out with a service charge of eighty-f1ve pounds of powder, the gun being elevated only five degrees. The 200 pound shell left the muzzle of the gun with velocity of 2000 feet a second It struck the water two and three-quarter miles from the ship, sending up vast col umn of water. The second shot was with the full powder charge of 110 pounds and sent the projectile very nearly four miles putting it in the water at a speed of 1000 feet second. There was no perceptible jarring from the shot.
 Commodore Schley said tonight that he had not yet received any orders from Washington.
 The New Orleans and the San Fran cisco have not been assigned to him, and the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius was not ordered to his squadron.

THAT LIE"
 FROM MADRID Upsets Calculations at Rome and May Cause
 a Check.
Papal Action in Pressing Spain to Accept the Conditions
 of the United States.
Question Whether All the Powers of Europe Can Induce the Dons to
 Withdraw From Cuba.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, April 7.-The Rome corre- spondent of the Daily News describ- ing the origin of the statement that America sought the Pope's mediation says: This lie from Madrid as they openly call it in the Vatican, has up- set the calculations of the Pope and may cause the entire ruin of the good offices of the Pontiff because of the dis like among Americans of intervention by the Pope, not only as the head of the Catholics, but as a European Prince as he wishes to be considered, his actions thus being opposed to the Monroe doctrine.
 It is supposed that Madrid gave this version to make it appear that the United States was backing down be- cause unprepared for war. Papal ac- tion now continues in pressing Spain to accept the conditions of the United States. and Is working indirectly for the spread of the peace spirit in Amer ica. Even at the Vatican, the inde- pendence of Cuba now seems inevita- ble, with or without war.
 Can the Pope and the powers which join him induce Spain to withdraw peacefully instead of being driven out ? The possibility or not of concluding an the one or the other solution. The Italia says that Monsignor Martinelli, the Apostolic delegate at Washington, has cabled to the Vatican that President Mckinley expressed his best wishes for the success of the Pope in obtaining an armistice in Cuba, but the President considers the question, "one between Spain and Cuba, while there is a ques- tion between Spain and the United States, and the two have nothing to do with each other"

REPUBLICAN VICTORY
 IN RHODE ISLAND.

PROVIDENCE, R. l.. April s-The State election resulted in an overwhelm- ing Republican victory Neither party conducted live competition, the success of Governor Dyer and his associates be- ing foregone conclusion. The Socialists Labor vote shows large increase, while the Prohibitionists beat the Democrats in several towns a usual.
 At 12:45 o'clock, IT out of 105 districts in the State show for Governor: Dyer. Re- publican. 13 ,S39; Church, Democrat. 7116 Reide, Socialist-Labor. 1888: Lewis, Pro hibition, 2111.
 This includes but four of the sixty-two Providence districts. The Legislature will be Republican, assuring the re-elec- ton of Senator Aldrich. The Democrats in the two houses will number only about thirteen, and as no Democratic candidate for the Senatorial nomination has ap- peared Senator Aldrich may have no op- position.

Will See That All meri- cans Depart From
 Havana.
His Cablegran Delaying Inter vention Approved by Lead
 ing Statesmen.
Rum ors of Disturbances at the Cuban Capital Not Confirmed, but Out
 breaks Arc Threatened
Special Dispatch to The Call.
Call Office, Riggs House,


 Washington, April 6.
 The Washington Posts summary of the situation to be printed tomorrow morning is as follows:
 ''The temporary withholding of Pres ident McKinley's message from Con- gress was due to the receipt of cable grams from General Fitzhugh Lee, our Consul-General at Havana, advising that if the message contemplated arm ed intervention 1t be deferred until all Americans in Cuba could leave the is- land. He stated that the exodus could be completed by the 10th inst Mem bers of the Foreign Affairs committees of the Senate and House upon being shown this dispatch promptly concurred in the opinion of the President and the Cabinet that the message should be de- layed until next Monday. The utmost confidence is felt by the administra- tion and Congress in the wisdom and good Judgment of General Lee in any emergency. The rumors of disturb ances in Havana are not confirmed, but the situation there is extremely threat ening Consu1-General Lee Is still at his post and will remain there until all other Americans are safe.
 "The Presidents message has only been changed in that 1t will ask Con- gress to authorize and direct immediate intervention. Otherwise the message will stand as heretofore outlined, and as the Post stated on Tuesday morning it will be of such vigorous, ringing character as to meet the full expecta- tions of Congress and the country. It will inevitably mean war Possibilities can only be averted by Spain herself declaring the independence of Cuba and yielding her sovereign power over the l island.
 Negotiations with Spain have not been reopened by the United States and will not be. The Queen Regent has not sent a personal message to the Presi- dent, making a new proposal for peace. With the influence now at work through foreign diplomatic channels to bring about a settlement of the diff culties between Spain and her rebel lious subjects in Cuba this Government has absolutely nothing to do. The ad- ministration and Congress stand pledged to the freedom of Cuba and will accept no solution that does not involve the withdrawal of Spanish troops from the island and the hauling down of the Spanish flag.
 "The five great powers have not sent note jointly to the United States, counselng against war Mediation of any sort has not been offered to this Government and will not be accepted '

WAR FEVER HAS
 REACHED HARVARD.
One Hundred Students Form a Com. pany and Elect Charles Bull of
 San Francisco Captain.

San Francisco Captain.
 BOSTON. April 6.-The war fever has reached Harvard. In 1861 the whole college lent its arms and sympathy either to the North or the South. The war broke up all the college routine. and the men scattered. The spirit of patriotism seems in no way to have diminished since thirty-seven years ago, and the college is entering enthu- siastically into Lieutenant Robinson's scheme. Lieutenant Robinson sent out notice asking all the men who could to come out and drill. Up to tonight over 100 men had signed their names and signified a wish to join such a com pany Regular work will begin on Fri day, and the men will be drilled three times a week, guns will be loaned by the United States and will arrive on Friday. If the present enthusiasm keeps up Lieutenant Robinson will have almost more students than he can take care of by the time regular work begins.
 This afternoon a meeting was held in Helmenway Gymnasium lnd Charles Bull '9S of San Francisco was elected captain of the company. Bull is a popular Varsity oarsman. In the list of names already signed are football men, oarsmen and others who are prominent in college sports.
