UNION LEAGUE
TO The FRONT
Club Proposes a Love Feast
on Occasion of Republican
State Committee Meeting
MAPLE ROOM is ENGAGED
Indications That Organiza-
ton Will Lease Premises
Occupied by Pacific-UniOn
MAPLE ROOM is ENGAGED

The Republican State Central Com
mittee will meet in this city on Satur-
day, March r. at 2 p. m. 1t is ex-
pected that large number of COM
mittee members from interior coun-
ties will be in San Francisco on that
occasion, and no doubt active Repub-
licans other than those immediately
connected with the governing body of
the party will join the throng. The
Union League Club has engaged the
Maple room of the Palace Hotel for
the evening of March II, and
a Republican dinner will be given
then and there under the aus
pices of the league. Well-known
Republicans of Los Angeles, Oak
land, San Jose, Stockton, Sacra-
mento, Santa Rosa, Napa, Vallejo and
Eureka have already indicated a de-
sire to be present at the dinner. The
banquet will not be limited to the mem
bership of the league. as each men,
Der will be entitled to invite resident
or nonresident Republicans who do
not belong to the club.
1t seems to be very nearly settled
that the Union League will lease the
house now occupied by the Pacific
Union Club and move in early next
winter. The committee recently ap-
pointed by the league has gone over the
ground carefully with Mr.. Burbank,
the owner of the premises, northwest
corner Of Post and Stockton streets. NJ.
H. de Young is the leading representa-
tive of the league in the negotiations,
and it is reported that he has obtained
concessions from the owner of the
building which will justify the club in
taking a lease of the house.
There will be a general meeting OF
the league membership next Tuesday
evening. and at that time the commit
tee will present a report of the con-
ferences with Mr.. Burbank The abil-
ity of the Union League TO enlarge its
membership to 1000 by the first of next
December is not doubted. 1t is the
impression that the dues must be rails
ed to S5 a month but the increase may
apply only to city members or others
in proximity to San Francisco.
1t is calculated that the new horne
of the Pacific Union Club will be
ready for occupancy by the first of
next November. Two months later the
Union League could probably move to
the premises vacated by the Pacific
Union. The league, however, must see
it's way clear to pay $4,000 per annum
for rent and also expend a good round
sum of money for furniture and gen.
eral equipment of the house.

HONORABLE DISTINCTION.

Membership upon such board
is an honor which any profess
sional man might well covet. and Mr..
Grunsky was kept busy all day answer
ing telephone calls that brought him
the congratulations of men well known
in his profession and of leaders in the
business community. San Francisco en-
gineers were especially pleased with
the news that the man whose 'availa bill
ity they had called to the President S
attention had been chosen for a position
Of international Importance. The COM
pletiOn of the Panama canal by the
American nation after the failure of
the French TO carry out the undertake
ing will be one of the most noteworthy
achievements in the history of the
worlds work, and participation in it
may well be deemed the distinction of
a lifetime. That San Francisco's City
Engineer has been selected for one of
these much sought appointments is
creditable alike to the city and the ap-
rointee.
AS City Engineer Mr. Grunskys sal
airy haG been $4,000. 1t was said yester-
day that the compensation to be paid
members tof the isthmian commission
had not been announced, but that ii
would be fixed by the President and
would probably be in excess of $4,000
per annum. The appointment is under
stood to be for the full term of the
canal construction, which may cover a
period of ten years. Even after the
opening of the canal there will doubt
less be much further work to be done.
Hence the position to which Mr.. Grun-
sky has been called may become a life
appointment. In any case his connec-
ton with the canal will give him an en-
vlahle rank among the leaders of the
engineering profession throughout the
world

PRosPECT OF Early WORK.

The promptness with which Presi-
dent Roosevelt has acted in selecting
the members of the commission prom
ises an early beginning of the great
undertaking There will, of course, be
an immense amount of preliminary
work. including the organization of the
board and it's staff of constructing en-
gineers, surveys of the uncompleted
work Of the French company and the
preparation of plans for the compile
tion of the canal. But Mr.. Grunsky
said yesterday that he expected little
time would be lost by the commission
in organizing and getting down to the
real work of the vast enterprise. He
had as yet made no special prepara-
ton for the duties of the office, he add
ed, and had no opinions to announce
regarding plans. routes or methods of
construction, but would give his whole
time to these matters as soon as his
appointment was made certain.
L presume the bulk Of the commits
sion's work" he said, ''will be done in
the United States, possibly at head
quarters in Washington, but when con-
struction is actually begun it will be
necessary for time that more than

ably take turns in this duty, so that
permanent residence there will not be

regime en- the isthmus. / have never

suNRELowER PHILOSOPHY.

Somehow we never could believe
the political stories fioated to us on a
whisky breath.
There isn't anything in the world
that creates SO much surprise and
panic as when mother scolds.
1t is unfortunate that this age limit
is applied to everything else in the
world except to the most vital OF all
questions; marrying.
Somehow when a woman spits on
her handkerchief to wash a dirt spot
off her baby's face, the Sacredness of
Motherhood gets a jolt.
Every man needs a chart to tell him
the degree of kinship in his family,
but his wife knows them so well she
can say them backwards.
The truth about some people who
seem to be doing SO much is that they
always put things on until the last
minute and then have to rush.
When man is sick the nelghbors
send him all kinds of delicacies he
can't eat, and then ignore him when
he is well and can eat things.
So many fathers have sons-in-law
they are compelled to support that the
old maid daughter who failed to
make them such gift should be re-
garded with much more favor.-Atchi-

NIAGARA IS A HURON WORD.
Proper Pronunciation Very Seldom Heard Except from Norrh-

Everybody pronounces Niagara wrong," said philologist recently to Washington Post reporter. "The ac- cent of this beautiful Indian word should not be put on the syllable .ag, but on the syllable 'ar'--the penult- the one before the last.
 Niagara means 'hark to the thun- der It's accent should fall on the penult because the Indians themselves accent 1t there, because in practically all our Indian names of places the penult is the accent syllable.
 Think of the Indian names you know. Don't you accent nearly all of them on the syllable before the last? ? There are, for instance, Toronto, Mis- sissippi, Alleghany, Appalachicola, Narragansett. Tuscaloosa, Saratoga, Tconderoga, Oswego, Conshohocken, Wissahickon and Hochelaga. Tn all these names the accent is on the pe- nult
 Niagara is a Huron word, and, if you find Huron, you will find that he accents it as he does Saratoga or Tus- caloosa don't know how we have fallen into the habit of accenting it wrong"

BALL PLAYER KILLED.
captain of Team in Manchester
 Run Over by Cars.

James .McGonigaI of North Manches- ter, captain of the silk weayers' hase Dall team of that town, was run over Dy the cars at Manchester yesterday afternoon and fatally hurt. He was brought to the Hartford hospital where one leg was amputated. He died at 9 o'clock last night.
 The accident was peculiar. McGoni- gal was stopped at the Main street crossing in the north end of South Man. hcester by q passing freight train. The cars in the train were Deinp switched about and just before the end of the train passed the crossing the last three cars were detached to be run into side track by their own impetus, after the rest of the train had passed the switch.
 As the end Of the main section of the train passed by McGonigal stepped for ward, failing to see the other three cars coming about twenty feet away. He was knocked down and the cars passed over him. One of his legs was severed and one arm was broken. He was picked up and attended by pr Whiton, the railroads physician there. Later he was brought to the Hartford hos pital, where he died.
 McGonigaI was about 40 years old and leaves wife and six children, the oldest about 16 years old. He was em- ployed as a loom-fxer in the Cheney mills He was jolly and weIl-met fel- low and was well known because of his athletic ability. He was the first baseman and captain of the silk weav- ers' base ball team and always took great interest in the game.

presented his favorite horse to General Kodama. 1t is reported on authority that there is continual fighting in the vicinity of Port Arthur and that the Japanese forces are closing In on that place. 1t is expected that the foreign military attaches and the newspaper correspondents assigned to the second Japanese army will leave for the front soon after the departure of Field Mar shal Marquis Oyama.
 A Tokyo cable says that General Oku reported after the fighting at Te- lissu (Vafangow) that the Japanese buried 1854 Russians. The trophies taken by the Japanese at this engage ment consisted of sixteen guns, forty six wagons, 95S rifles and other war material
 A Tokyo dispatch says that Japanese officers who were engaged in the last naval fight at Port Arthur assert that they saw women on board the Russian warships and that this confirms the suspicion that the Russians were at- tempting to escape to a neutral port and had no intention of fighting.
 The last mail from the front, 1t is said, gives additional instances of the mutilation of Japanese wounded by the Russians
 The Japanese have occupied Wolf mountain after desperate fighting, in which Russian regiment was almost annihilated.
 The correspondent of the Standard at Matsuyama, Japan, cabling under date of June 30, says:
 To-day I visited the Russian pris- oners here Five hundred and eight of them were admitted to the army hospital, practically all of whom suf- fered from wounds inflicted From small arms. Two hundred and nine have been discharged as completely cured.
 There are five temporary hospitals in Matsuyama, in which Japanese wo- men, American women missionaries and members of the Red Cross assist in the nursing.
 "The unwounded prisoners consist of 21 officers, 54 noncommissioned off, cers and 5S3 privates. The officers have separate quarters and are allowed to employ cook from the town and to purchase luxuries. Twenty two wound ed sailors have been received, and they are frequently visited by the American 1 missionaries"

WALTHOUR HURT.
Two Ribs, an Arm and Collarhone
 Broken.

Atlanta, Ga, July 1.--In the three cornered twenty mile motor-paced race between Bobby Walthour of At lanta, Bonnie Monroe of Memphis and DeGuichard. of Paris, France, at the Stadium here last night, Walthour was "pocketed" by the other two rid CTS in the fourth mile and while go- ing at terrific speed was thrown against the railing. His body struck two supporting pine posts, three by six inches, with such force that they were snapped in the center and the cham pion rider was left hanging insensible on the railing, his feet dangling over the track. An ambulance was sum- moned and Walthour was carried to his home in an unconscious condition. The latest report given out by physi- clans at his bedside is that two ribs, one arm and collarbone are broken. It is thought he is injured internally.
 His pacemaker, Gussie Lawson, also fell, but was not injured.

BATTAn MAY PLAY BALL
Policeman May Thus Earn an Honest
 Dollar When on Vacation.

New York, July 1.-Inspector Wei gand has completed his inquiry into the complaint against Patrol1nan Lawrence Battam of the Hamilton avenue sta ton. Brooklyn. Battam was a crack amateur bSll player in his youth. A civilian complained anonymously re- gently that Battam still made little on the side by playing with semi-pro- fessional clubs The inspectors in- quiry has shown that while on his va cation recently Battam played for money with clubs that ran short of players. He decided that Battam vio- lated no rule. He thinks the anony- nous writer was member of one of the clubs that Battam helped to thrash.
