The San Francisco call., 1905-02-16

United States Senator-elect Frank
P Flint was the guest of honor at
The Union League Club last evening
and gained much commendation for his
sensible utterances and genial, digni-
fed bearing.
Shortly before 9 o'clock he was es-
cOrted from the Palace Hotel to the
club by q committee consisting Of Sam
uel J. Hendy, Joseph Spear and Edgar
PeiXCtto. When he entered the beau
Tifully lighted and coZily furnished re-
Ception room facing Union Square he
was welcomed by rounds of cordial
applause from the large throng of rep
resentatiVe men there assembled.
The ceremony Of introduction was
happily performed by Colonel George
II. Pippy, president of the league, who
preNfcted that the new Senator would
ably represent California in the Sen
ate Of the United States.
In response the Senator-elect ex-
pressed his gratitude for the warmth
Of the reception given to him. He
spoke of the greatness and grandeur
of san Francisco, observing that he
never visited the city without noting
some new element Of prosperity and
greatness. What caused the greatest
surprise was the fact that the citizens
Of san Francisco themselves seldom
spoke OF the marvellous growth and
development Of the city. On this theme
he said:
You jolly US OF the south for booming Los
Angeles You should appreciate the great
ness. the value and rapid growth of San
francisco. You should boom the city. The
Northwest is making great strides for control
~ the business Of the Orient This trade
should continue TO enrich the metropolis Of
California. We Of the south will come to
your aid in holding advantages gained by San
Francisco. Your merchants should do the
selling in the markets Of the Orient and your
steamships should carry the products Of Cali
fornie TO Asia

that demands earnest consideration of every
member OF Congress and every citizen of Cal
ifornia. The work now advanced should be
pressed forward.
Mr.. McKinlay also spoke of the
necessity of appropriations for Mare
Island and the need Of money to deepen
the channels leading to San Rafael,
Petaluma and Napa.
SHORTRIDGE EMBARRASSED.
The speechmaking closed with a few
polished sentences from Samuel Nj.
Shortridge. He pleaded a little embar-
rassment in the presence of so many
statesmen, but overcame his bashful-
ness as he progressed with his re-
marks. He spoke of Senator elect
Flint as a man clean of hand, clean Of
heart and high of purpose, who realized
the great responsibility placed upon
him. He predicted that the new Sen
atorl would reflect honor on himself
and confer distinction on the State.
Handshalling followed the speech
making. Among those who greeted the
new Senator were:
Admiral McCalla, Captain Logan of the
6attleship Ohio. Paymaster Karr. u $. N;

mony was all in, that each lady gave

J. J. Beauregard denied the charge
of Patrolman Louis Nye that he sold
beer for consumption on his premises,
2S15 Greenwich street, within the pro-
scribed territory contiguous to the
Presidio, inasmuch as the beer which
he sold was in can, commonly
called a "growler," and was carried
from his premises to an adjoining lot,
where it was drunk by various SOL
diers and civilians, the latter being
carpenters employed In the construc-
ton of a residence on said lot. The
policeman, however. contended that
| the scene of guZzling was attached to
Mr.. Beauregard's place of business
and therefore technically a portion Of
his premises. To which the defense
retorted that the Farallones might as
reasonably be designated a portion of
the Beauregard premises, because Mr..
Beauregard had just as much title to
| those islands as to the waste place
whereon the beer was consumed.
! Judge Mogan and several lawyers
have called for maps and property
records and other things to aid them
in deciding whether Mr.. Beauregard
or his accuser is in the right.

PROUD OF CALIFORNIA.


Colonel Pippy spoke of his recent
visit to Washington, d. c., and men
toned incidentally that the President
was proud of California. In view
of the recent tremendous majority
which California gave to the Repub-
hcan cause Colonel Pippy deemed it
consistent to introduce as the next
speaker Colonel George Stone, chair
man of the Republican State Commit
tee.
When the applause subsided Colonel
Stone spoke Of the able representa-
tives of California in the United
States Senate from the, time of Ere
mont and Gwin until the days of
Perkins and Flint. He believed the
State had reason to be proud of all of
the twenty-five Senators. He con-
graduated the Republican party and
the people of the State on the choice
of a man from the south for Senator,
and noted that the retiring Senator
was from the south. He thought it
fitting and proper in view of the di-
versified interests of California and
the long stretch of seaboard that one
of the Senators should hail from
Southern California. He was con-
Vinced, however, that both Senators
and the Representatives in the other
House of Congress would work for
the common advancement of the
whole State without regard to sec
tional lines or geographical limits.
He closed by wishing Senator Flint
every measure of success in his high
station.
Congressman-elect Julius Kahn OF
the Fourth District was the next
speaker. introduced. He remarked
that every one that served in Con-
gress was impressed by the spirit OF
absolute fairness in both houses. The
word of a member is accepted as
truth. If man makes q misstate-
ment good-by to his influence. On
this topic he said:
The State OF California is one of the sec
tions to conjure with Members general,
willing to accede to our demands. Many Con
gressmen have visited this State and other
hope to come. Personal inspection. 1 hsv'
noted, is more effective than verbal argument

The cattle men in the southern part

It has always been the contention OF
Iowa men since the slow service was,

that Immediately the Burlington road

ton.
Washington, MarcS, 25.-When the
dispatch from st. Petersburg, regard
ina peace was shown, the diplomat to-
day on whose authority the Associated
Press on March 13 announced from
Washington that the Russian emperor
knew the general terms on which Ja-
I pan. would conclude peace, said:
"-rhe source Of my original infor-
nation on this subject was high one,
but Il is gratifying to receive this con-
f;rmation. The European powers, not
ably France, have for some time been
sendsavoring TO find out on what terms
Japan would accept peace. These
have been ascertained in a general
way and have been communicates to
ST. Petersburg. When he called his
war. council on March IL, the emperor
knew these terms, and doubtless
communicated them to his ministers"
The reason for Japan's apparent re-
ticence regarding the opening Of peace
negotiations is not due to a desire to
continue the war, but is because the
Toxic government wishes to be cer-
tain Russia is proceeding te' peace
negotiations in good faith and is not
playing for time as she did in the
negotiations prior to the war.

MOVEMENTS OF THE FLEET.
The Reported Sinking Of Two Russian
Ships Scoffed At.

The Reported Sinking of Two Russian
Ships Scoffed At.
st. Petersburg, March 25.-Altho
public interest in the war has suddenly
been transferred from the battlefield
in Manchuria to the Indian Ocean by
the possibility of a great naval con-
fifct between Rojestvensly and Togo,
and despite reports that scouting YES
sells have already been engaged near
the island of Mauritius, the admir-
atty declines to display any excite
ment. Indeed the tranquility mani-
tested is quite unna tural, except on the
theory that pending prospects of
peace negotiations, Rojestvensky has
received orders to keep out of the way
of the Japanese. Altho without direct
advices the admiralty does not credit
the report of the meeting of the scout
ing vessels off Mauritius The same
thing holds good in regard to the re-
port of the sinking of the Russian
battleships Sissoi, Veliky and Varin,
which, it is declared, was probably
arrant invention. 1t can be asserted,
however, the report that Rojestvensky
is awaiting Nebogatoffs division, to
strengthen his squadron is incorrect
The vessels of Nebogatoff's division are
not of the same type of speed as Ro-
jestvenskys and are only intended to
trail behind as convoy to protect the
fleet of GOLFERS.
