The arrival OF Mr. Charles Russell In this city
is an agreeable incident both because OF MS own
claims to n cordial greeting and because he
comes as the representative of Sir Thomas LIP
ton to arrange the preliminaries Of another race
for the Americas Cup. His attitude IN this
matter Is not that OF merely formal compliance
with the wishes Of his principal. for ne hearthy
shares Sir Thomas's generous sentiments, De-
lieving that "a fairer and more sportsmanlike
body Of men never lived than American yachts
men," and that the challenger Is absolutely sure
OF fair play. We all reciprocate this feeling,
and no difficulty in agreeing upon the terms or
competition for the famous trophy Is TO be
anticipated with such a spirit prevailing.

should be the one best adapted. first. TO the
public needs; second 10 meet commercial needs:
third TO admit OF construction at reasonable out

these latter should not be paid any for their
canal assets than n fair valuation Of these would
warrant.

THE CEREMONIES OFBEAUTIFUI
 AND SIMPLE CHARACTER.
A Large Congregation Pays Its Re- spects to the Memory of the Popular Judge
 and Man.

The funeral of Judge James A. Camp bell was held yesterday afternoon in Masonic Temple. The spacious hall was far too small to accommodate the large assemblage who came to pay their re- spects to a man who had enjoyed pop ularity rarely attained among his fellow citizens.
 Judge Campbell was a member of South San Francisco Lodge, A. F. and A. M. and 1t was under the auspices of this or ganization that the ceremonies took place. Judge Carroll Cook of the Supreme Court presided, having been requested by Mrs. Campbell to perform this duty. The beau tiful and impressive ritual of the Masonic order was used, there being no eulogy. The music consisted of an organ volun- tary by Samuel D. Mayer and four vocal numbers by Messrs. Ogilvie, Mayer, Elem ing and Jones, who compose the choir of California Lodge, A. F. and A. M.
 The honorary pall-bearers were: J. G.. Jeffries, George W. Collins, J. A. Ellert, Rr Rvna,ds G. dRrufker Jgdge " G; gfrrE |: Hni Ali and C.. s. Graham. representing Monte zuma Tribe. Improved Order of Red Men; GeoTga Dr and Captain aT \ M HoNe of the Society of Old Friends. The acting pall-bearers were: J. s: Bailey, s; Han Jaes M1rsemeygT ames Fyan Frank Kispert. Henry Burke and J. w. D. War ner, all being officers of South San Fran cisco Lodge, A. F. and A. NJ.
 The various societies to which Judge Campbell belonged were numerously and prominently represented in the congrega- tion. There was a profusion of floral tributes, some of them being of most beautiful and elaborate design. Some of these were from "The Old Friends" ," Sherif's office, Police Court No. 1, West End Club, Phoenix Club, and others were the individual contributions from warm personal friends
 The remains of Judge Campbell were laid at rest in Cypress Lawn Cemetery.
