LATEST OAKLAND NEWS Daring Robbery From St. Joseph's Clergy House in West Oakland. THE BOND ELECTION TO-DAY. Death of a Young Bicycle Enthusi- ast From "Railroad Spine." Oakland Office San Francisco Call,) 908 Broadway, August 30. f A thief entered the clergy house of the Portuguese Roman Catholic Church this evening and stole Father Fernandez's vajise and bankbook. Within two hours the property was recovered and the thief was in jail. Father Fernandez had ju?t returned from Yreka and after placing his Valise in the house he proceeded at once to North Oak- land. The servant went into the hall two minutes later to get the valise and it was not there. A nephew of the priest told the police of the robbery and an examina- tion of the premises showed plainly that the thief had entered the clergy house through the church. To do this he must have passed the nephew, who was playing the organ at the time of the theft. Detec- tives Williams and Shorey made a tour of the usual clothing-stores and pawnshops where such things as were stolen are gen« erally found and procured them in a store south of Seventh street. They were given a description of the man and he was soon arrested. He is John Kearnes. an old-time thief, and he was at once recognized by the dealer as the man who sold the clothes. The bankbook was not recovered, but it is valueless to anyone but the owner, as payment of any money is stopped. DR. McLEAX'S FAItEWKIX. An Eastern Divine Likely to Fill the Vacated Pulpit Soon. Rev. Dr. McLean formally parted to- night from the congregation that he has ministered to for the last twenty-three years. For over an hour the pastor and his wife stood on one side of a decorated platform in the church parlors while hundreds of friends passed by and shook hands. Judge Haven was master of the ceremonies, and several clergymen were present. Rev. Drs. Hobart and Coyle made addresses, and during; the evenine a medallion portrait in basrelief of Dr. Mc- Lean was unveiled. It will take the place of the photograph that has formerly hung Inthe church. Members of many churches were present and a select musical programme succeeded the speech-making. Dr. McLean referred in feeling terms to the many ties that bound him to his old congregation, but he reminded his late congregation that he was not going out of the city, but merely to fill another and more responsible part in the great work of the church. Judge Haven stated that the trustees were negotiating with an Eastern divine to succeed Dr. McLean, but did not intend to make his name known prematurely. A -Railroad Spine. George Giles, a young man 20 years of age, who resided on Webster street, died yesterday, and this afternoon an autopsy was held to determine the cause of death. He had been ill for several weeks, and haa been doctored for typhoid fever and other ailments, out it was ascertained that the cause of death was "railroad spine," due to an excess of bicycle-riding in a stooping position. All last winter when the new water com- ganys main was being laid from Alvarado iles was employed by the company to ride the whole length of their main every day. This gave him a ride of forty miles per diem. Several months ago he was taken withsickness and went to the springs for relief. He obtained some relief, but a few months ago he was again taken ill. The autopsy was performed hy Drs. Wool- sey t Dunn, Hamlin and Johnson and the cause was pronounced to be "railroad spine." This is a disease to which railroad men are subject and is the result of constant jarring, which ultimately effects the spine. Dr. Woolsey says Giles' death was hastened on account of his riding in a stooping position. Big Fire at Nilea. NILES, Cal., Aug. 30.—A fire broke out this morning about 7 o'clock and burned for two hours, in which time property worth $10,000 was destroyed. The build- ings destroyed were the Grand Hotel, the livery stable and residence of Frank A. Rose, and a cottage belonging to Mrs. Murphy was slightly damaged. The city has no fire department and no water supply for fire purposes, and when it was known that the hotel was on fire every one turned out and helped to save as much of the property as possible. The Grand Hotel was valued at about |6000 and contained a little fortune in furniture, The Rosse residence was valued at $1500 and insured for $500 in the New Zeal- and Insurance Company. The approxi- mate loss is: Grand Hotel $5000, furniture $1800, insurance $700; Fashion livery stable *2000, insurance $450; Mrs. Murphy $200, fully insured. How W. liair Hill Was Involved. Inthe case of Silas Shirley of San Jose against Thomas White, William Lair Hill and others to have a deed and mortgage set aside on the ground that they were produced by fraud, Mr. Hill explained yesterday his connection with the matter. He said that C. M. White called at his office last May and asked him to examine title papers to a purchase by his brother, Thomas Wnite, from Shirley. He found that the title was subject to a mortgage held by David Jacks on part of the property, and the White brothers, not having the full amount of this incumbrance. were ac- commodated to the extent of $600 by the First National Bank of Oakland on a note indorsed by Mr. Hill. That was the whole extent of his connection with the case in which be became suddenly and most un- expectedly involved. HcCheiney Sustained. Professor McChesney of the High School has received letters from educators all over the State sustaining his position in regard to the gymnastic class. "One of those letters," he said, "came from Professor Knowlton of San Francisco and is as follows: 'You are everlastingly in the right. Stay by it and you will win^ I have had the same experience years ago. School Director Charles G. Reed saysTHß Call deserves the thanks of all Oakland parents for the intelligent, moral and truthful manner in which it treated the re- cent discussion over the High School gymnasium. Will Get His Salary. The application of C. B. Rutherford, the city wharfinger, for a writ of mandamus to compel City Auditor Snow to draw a warrant in his favor for three months' salary amounting to $300, was heard by Judge Ogden this afternoon. Upon the introduction of the city ordinance relating to the appointment of the wharfinger the writ was issued. Mayor Davie had ordered that it be not paid owing to some alleged informality in Rutherford's appointment. Goodman Is Free. John Goodman was locked up at the County Jail for twenty-five days for contempt of court by order of Justice Quinn. Goodman went into the Justices' Court at Ban Leandro, a quarrel ensued, then there was a fight, and the Justice was beaten, cûinn then procured a warrant for Good- man and committed him for contempt. Goodman brought habeas corpus proceed- ings this afternoon and Judge Ellsworth released him. Appeal on * Franchise. Samuel Bell McKee, attorney for Arthur D. Thomson, has filed notice of an appeal to the Supreme Court from the judgment in his application for a writ of mandamus against the Board of Supervisors to restrain them from granting au electric-railroad franchise to E. P. Vandercook from the city limits to Livermore, via Haywards and Dublin, with a branch to Pleasanton. Co-operative Home. Mrs. E. L. Drake, superintendent of the Co-operative Home, managed by the Ladies' Aid Society, on Thirteenth street, issued a report to-day of the work done during the past three months. This period has been a successful one finan- cially, and a small balance is left on hand. The receipts from all sources were $1744 and the expenses $1703. Bond Election To-Day. The question of the refunding of school bonds due next month will be decided at the polls to-morrow (Saturday). The taxpayers generally are favorable to the refunding, but there is opposition to the refunding by the Populists. Both sides claim that they will be able to carry their point. HISTORY OF A DAT. Alameda County Happenings Told in Brief Chapters. Oakland Office San Francisco Call,} '.JOS Broadway, August 30. } W. H. Knight has been appointed adminis- trator of the estate of \V. H. .^cott. John D. Pinhelro's suit against the town of Haywards, which has been hanging fire for many months, has been dismissed for want of prosecution. John Nicholl has recorded a mortgage . on property at the corner of Ninth and \\ ashing- ton streets to the regents of the State Univer- sity for<i'£ per cent. The residents In the vicinity of Fourteenth and Center streets are anxious that a branch postorhce be established in that locality. A pe- tition to that effect is now being circulated. In the suit of J. J. Fagan vs. Turner, involv- ing some $40,000 worth of securities for ad- vances, the testimony was partially taken yesterday and an adjournment taken until next Tuesday. A large plant for handling and reducing base ore haa been established near Shell Mound Park. The plant is built on a patent of Mr. Holland, an old mining man, well known in this State. Constable Koch arrested Pat Rtley this morning. Riley had difficulty with John Cavaimgh a few days ago and Cavanagh being worsted in the encounter swore to a complaint charging him with battery. At a regular meeting of the Alameda County Federated Trades last evening it was requested that all laboring men in the county attend the labor day exercises at Metropolitan Hall, San Francisco, Monday evening next. A few days ago when near Dumbarton Point a schooner" capsized and her deckload of 500 sacks of shells went to the bottom. The men on board were fortunately uniujured and .made their way by swimming to the marsh. F. K. Shattuck has made an offer of five acres of land at Berkeley for the Wiimerding scnool site. It is three-quarters of a mile from the university grounds and is in the Shattuck tract, bounded by Ward, Derby, Grove and Mllna streets. Albert Bell, who was arrested by Constable Koch at Temescal on Thursday night, is in a very peculiar position. He is charged with a very heinous crime by the parents of Camille Cua'reon, a 12-year-old girl, who dwells in the same house with Bell. The trial of George Collier, charged with attempt to assault Estelle Hansen last April, while they were out buggy ridingnear Liver- more, was resumed this morning in Judge Frick's court. Collier was acquitted after a few moments' deliberation by the jury. The Grand Jury was again in session to-day. There seems to be some more information wanted about the shortage on tax receipts, for to-day ex-Tax Collector Rosborough, with \u25a0\u25a0 Frank Smith, Young, English, Harris and some other deputies were in attendance. R. S. Leckie and W. G. Havrkett were also among the witnesses in waiting. A certified copy of the articles of incorpora- tion nave been riledby the West Shore Mutual Loan Association of San Francisco. The capi- tal stock is fixed at $3,000,000, divided into 15,000 shares. Of this amount $20,000 has been subscribed. The directors and incorpo- , rators are: Sarah P. Clark, Moses A. Gunst, ! Hermann Zadig, Doneld McKenzip, Eugene do Sabla Jr., Wilbur G.

The Start Will Be Made at the Nar- row-Cause Mole at 2 O'clock. Other Happenings. ALAMEDA,Cal., Aug. 30.— The talk of the town to-day is the contest for the perpetual challenge cup between the Queen of the San Francisco Yacht Club and El Sueno of the EncinaJ Yacht Club, which is to come off to-morrow. Everybody knows what the Queen can do, while on the other hand El Sueno is hardly known outside the club to which she belongs. El Sueno last Sunday, however, proved herself to be a fast sailer. The perpetual challenge cup is valued at i $500, and the five yacht clubs on the bay some months ago contributed toward the expense of it. It is a very handsome trophy. Alameda is more than anxious that El Sueno should win. She not only belongs here, but was built and designed by the gallant commodore, her owner, and ifshe should lose the race it will not be for the I want of good seamanship. The course is fifteen miles, starting from the narrow-gauge mole at 2 p. m. sharp, and itis expected to sail over the course in two hours. Paying Attention to Nurseries. A. D. Pryal of the Horticultural Com- mission was in Alameda to-day and looked into the various nurseries and orchards for bugs. The orchards, having mostly given way to improvements, are not carefully scrutinized, but great attention is being paid to the nurseries. The Commissioner said that phylloxera had invaded the county and threatened to do much harm to the vines in Livermore Valley. Btringent measures would, however, be taken topre- vent the spread of the pest and to stamp it out. He hoped to soon find an insect which would wage war upon and kill phyl- j loxera. Much- damage is being done by | this insect on the vineyard of Chris Buck- ley, the erstwhile Democratic boss and politician. Hecht Purchased Half the Bonds. Isaac Hecht, the capitalist who died in San Francisco Thursday and left an estate valued at about a million dollars, was a member of the firm of Hecht Bros., who purchased half of the bonds issued for ouilding the new City Hall,not quite com- pleted, Charles 8. Neal buying the other half. Mr. Hecht was very prominent among the Germans. Not Liable for Jury Duty. Barber Q. H. Burgess, who was fined by Justice of the Peace Bwasey for contempt of court on account of failure to answer jury summons, has recovered the amount of the tine paid by him. He made a show- ing to-day that he will not attain his legal majority until the 26th of September, and could not be held liable for jury duty. Ina Class of Thirteen. Dio L. Tisdale, son of Dr. T. P. Tisdale, graduated last night from the Hahnemann Hospital College, San Francisco, in a class of thirteen. The young eraduate is an enthusiastic yachtsman, and a member of the Sueno crew in the race to-morrow. After a vacation at Oakdale he will go East to take a post graduate course in med- icine and surgery. The New Woman Becognized. The Salvat'on Army of Alameda has recognized the new woman. To-morrow evening a woman's rights meeting will be held at the barracks on Central avenue. The women will have charge of the meeting, and also of the street parade.

Professors Royce, Le Conte and Mezes on the "Con- ception of God." SOME DISTINGUISHED VISITOBS. Fifty-Second Meeting of the Uni- versity of California's Philo- sophical Union. BERKELEY, Cal., Aug. 30.— 1t was an august assemblage that filled Harmon Gymnasium last night to listen to the words of profound philosophical reason- ing. Many distinguished visitors from various parts of the State were present, and the large platform was filled with regents, professors and intimate friends of the speakers of the evening. The occasion of this great gathering was the fifty-second regular meeting of the University of Cali- fornia Philosophical Union, and those who formed the central point of interest were Dr. Josiah Royce, U. C. '75, professor of philosophy at Harvard University; Dr. Joseph Le Conte, professor of geology at the University of California, and Dr. Sidney Mezes, U. C. '84, professor of philosophy at the University of Texas. During the past year the union, under whose auspices the exercises were held has been studying Dr. Royce's booic on "The Religious Aspect of Philosophy." The address last evening was the first of a series of four to be given by Dr. Royce, and the topic chosen for his initial paper was the "Conception of God." Following the remarks o Dr. Royce were the com- ments by Dr. Mezes aud'Dr. Le Conte. " The exercises were opened with a few words of welcome by Professor Howison, president of the Philosophical Union, who spoke of the past work of the union, its ?>resent prosperity and purposes for the uture. "This," said he, ''is the first meeting of the kind we have ever held and it is our ardent desire to perpetuate the practice. The next one will be held on the evening before next commencement, and the one we have already secured to address us is Professor John Watson of Kings Col- lege, Queenstown." Briefly stated, Professor Royce's argument was as follows: Itis best to formulate one's philosophical conception of God by means of an attempt to prove the existence of God. A preliminary definition of the conception of God may, however, be suggested in terms of the divine Om- niscience; viz., thus: ByGod is meant a beinir who thoroughly knows and comprehends the world; so comprehends it that the world, of which we are so ignorant, contains from the divine point of view no mysteries whatever. Can one prove that such a being exists? We can only Know what our experience indi- cates, and as our human experience depends upon our physical organization as beings having just these senses, just this nervous struc- ture, just these sensations, it may be urged that we can never come to know any genuine or absolute reality whatever, and that we can, therefore, still less ever come to know tât this reality contains any Omniscient Being. But we cannot call ourselves ignorant of reality unless we first define what we mean.by reality. When taken in an ordinary and relative sense, reality siniply means that which a more perfect experience than ours would have present to it. And when taken in an absolute sense, reality would still mean simply what a perfected, an absolutely connected, coherent, self-possessed experience would have present to it. The conceptions "Absolute Reality" and "AnExperience that knows Absolute Keallty" prove upon analysis to be correlative. The ultimate reality, whatever it15, can penninely exist only in ca«e it exists as the object of some ultimate type of experience. Unless there is tuch an ultimate type of experience, there is ni> such thing as a genuine reality at all. But it may now be asserted, by one who opposes the belief in the existence of an Omnis- cient Being, that what we are really Ignorant of,|as limited and finite beings, is tnis: Whether there is any genuine or ultimate reality in the universe at all. Ail our human experience is limited, relative, finite, fragmentary; accordingly, all the realities that we human beings directly or immediately know are limited, transient, and only relatively real. But if one asserts that all the actual experience in the universe is finite, fragmentary and relative, and maintains accordingly that tht-re is no ultimate reality at all, he must of neces- ity still assume that this whole universe of finite experience, thus supposed to be actual, has in its totality an actual constitution of some definite sort. This actual constitution of the whole world of experience must be viewed, however, as something real and accordingly as something experienced, known, i.e., present to the consciousness of some all-embracing being. But hereupon the experience of this all-embracing being would of necessity have to be once more denned as that very self-deter- mined organized absolute experience of which we were in search. But in this way the effort to define the universe as not containing an Omniscient Being proves to be self-contradictory. And, on the other lwind.the effort to define what we mean by asserting that human experience is limited and fragmentary, and that man Is ignorant of the absolute reality, proves to be the very effort that leads both to the conception of God as the Omniscient Being, and to the proof that the reality of this conception cannot be rejected without self-contradiction. From the attribute of omniscience, however, other divine attributes will follow, and, In conclusion, the identity of the foregoing conception ofGodwitn the essence of the Chris- tian conception is suggested. Following the lecture came a criticism by Professor Mezes, who said : I agree that Professor Rovce has proved thftt an ultimate Being exists, that he is fully conscious, that his experience Is organized— i. c., that within his experience there are to bo found no unanswered questions, no unsatisfied desires. But I cannot admit that Professor Royce has proved that this Being possesses worth and dignity. I cannot agree that this Being is entitled to be called God. Professor Royce gives no warrant for belief in the existence of absent facts, especially no warrant for belief in the existence of those mutually isolated groups of inner or psychic facts we call our fellow-beings. This leaves our fellow-beings as unproved assumptions, and we have no philosophic right to assert that such mere assumptions have a place In the experience of the inclusive self. Now, allow- ing, for the sake of argument, that the reality of outer or physical facts is not marred by this philosophic destruction of our fellow-beings, wo readily see that the physical universe, and bo much spiritual fact as any one of us may at any moment himself directly experience— c. g., his present problems, desires, etc.— exhausts the list of well-established reality. Only, then, with such physical facts, and with the meager allotment of ipiritual life just men- tioned, can we assert that the inclusive mind is furnished. The second part of my criticism may best be introduced by reminding you that the contents that can be assigned to the ultimate Being, over and above the facts that can be established as just indicated, must con -ust of so much experience as answers legi. mate questions. But when wo ask what sor t of experience answers these questions; or, again, what questions are legitimate, we get into dif- ficulties. A question that certain facts plague A with, may seem nonsensical to B, though B appreciates the facts fully ; or a solution that seems unsatisfying to Amay entirely satisfy B. In a word, whether questions suggested by facts are legitimate, and whether solutions are satisfactory, does not depend wholly on such facts and solutions, but depends, also, la part on the temperament of the minds that ask and answer. If we wish to avoid materialism, we must admit in logic, as well as in ethics, an element of personal caprice. Accordingly, not knowing the temperament of the Inclusive self, and owing to its element of irreducible caprice, being unable to discover that temperament, bow do we know that it does not view all our questions— our deepest and most sacred among them— withthe scorn we feel for nonsense? Of course, none of us believe this to be true of the ultimate reality, the Omniscient Being, and some of us hold that it can be proven false ; but my present criticism rests upon my failure to find that Professor Royce offers any such proof. Professor Le Conte spoke next. He thought that proof of the real existence of a personal God may be attempted either from the point of view of the strict philoso- 6 her or from that of the man of science. [is own view was of the latter and in brief is as follows: Science, looking at s human being from the outside, as it can alone do, eeeg only physical phenomena in such a being, and has no eur- picion of the psychical phenomena which are so manifest to the man himself; but the man himself, behind the veil of the body and the brain, has the ianer world, the world of aoii- consciousness, open before him at least as plainly as the outer world; the world of un- conscious matter and motion, is open to his external senses. Why is this not equally true concerning the cosmos as a whole? Must there not, in all reasonableness, be a cosmic consciousness, who is in the secret ot the inside being of the whole universe of physical phenomena, just a 6 we each know there is an in- dividual consciousness who is in the secret of his own interior being, albeit the outside ob- server has, and can have, no direct share in that secret? The experience of each and all of us. when taken in its whole extent, so as to include self-consciousness, assures us of the reality of our person; is it not reasonable, on that evidence from experience upon which science bulHs its victorious structures, to sup- pose that the same holds good, by analogy, of the universe as a whole? Nay, Is anything else reasonable? Must there not be, then, a cosmic mind, a universal consciousness, an in- finite personality— in one word, & God? VANDALISM MUST CEASE. City Hall Park Meeting! Shall Not Be Held on the Gram in the Future. Oakland Office San Francisco Call.) 908 Broadway, Aug. 30. j The nightly noises around the City Hall and the desecration of the pretty park will soon cease. An ordinance is being drafted by the City Attorney that will be rigidly enforced on account of the large number of demands for its passage. Among the clauses is the following: It is hereby declared to be unlawful for any person to trespass upon the grass of the city parks or to pick flowers from th» same or in any way damage the trees, floral beds, build- ings, benches, seats, fountains or any fixtures connected therewith. Tramps and disorderly crowds are not allowed upon the grounds. Sleeping on the benches or seats or vandalism of any sort is strictly prohibited. The City Hall Park is at present com- pletely spoiled in the section around the bandstand. It fully merits the name of the "Oakland sandlot," as there is not a blade of grass in sight. Six months ago it was a beautiful lawn. When the ordinance forbidding street meetings was enforced, all the street orators adjourned to the City Hall steps and thejpark around the bandstand. There is no electric light alongside the stand, and the platform made a first- rate lecture rostrum. The practice has been to wait till the Salvation Army has concluded its meetings and then start in before the crowd left. Occasionally three orators would bo shouting at the same time, and not few times there has been some unpleasantness. A few weeks ago the police took a poor old crank into the jail for protection till the crowd had dis- peared. The Merchants' Exchange took the matter up, and it is partly owing to their in- fluence that the new ordinance is being prepared. _ MRS. CARTER ARRIVES She Visits Peterhof and Pre- pares to Contest Its Ownership. Everything Ripe for the Warlike Times Predicted for the Castle. Oakland Office San Francisco Call,) 908 Broadway, August 30. t Mrs. Lizzie Carter has arrived in Oak- land, and Mrs. Poulson of Peterhof Castle is greatly disturbed. The object of Mrs. Carter's visit to the coast is to attempt to secure some portion of the estate of the late Count Poulson. She bases her claim on a codicil to a will which she claims is the last willand testament of the Count, although it is generally supposed he died intestate. There are various explanations given of how the will came into Mrs. Carter's possession, and it is given out by the members of the Order of Messiah that the will came in the form of a spirit message from the departed Count. Mrs. Carter declines at present to say where she got it, but declares her ability to prove that itis a genuine document, and that she is entitled to much property. The codicil, on which Mrs. Carter bases her claims, reads as follows: The property in my hands belonging to my second wife, from whom I was divorced, I give and bequeath also to my dear friend, Elizabeth Carter Hedley, as I am convinced she will, do good with it Instead of evil. She will not mis- use the giftand c&nnot understand the reason why I do not return the property to Edna 6n«ll. This is because it was originallyall my own, as I let her have tne money to purchase the lots in the first place. She will make no trouble about it, as she knows it is us I have said. These lots are in section 12 of the western part of San Francisco and the deeds to them are on record in the CityHall of San Francisco. Itis my willthat Elizabeth Carter have all the manuscript in spirit messages that I leave un- published printed in proper form, according as her judgment may direct. Sue shall also with the moneys obtained from my estate pay off a mortgage of $500 against the farm I leave to my son Hyrum, and she shall take care that he gets his just dues as regards my wishes. She shall also have the care and oversight of the bringing up of the children of my son and shall direct and superintend their education. Pkter Wilhelm Poulbon, M.D. Dr. Junius L.Hatch said to-day that he had received a message from Mrs. Carter asking him to meet her. The doctor is a firm believer in the doctrines of the order, and has great faith in the ability or Mrs. Carter to fulfill her mission. Mrs. Carter has been to Peterhof, looking over the property and taking notes, and making comparisons with various plans that are in her possession, and she expresses her' self as satisfied that she can substantiate her claims when she presents her case in the courts as she intends to do. Richard Smith, who lives on an ark on the Alameda shore, is the primate of the order. Not long ago he made a prophecy regarding Dr. Poulson. He said that a will of the decedent would be produced and that there would be a big battle over it in the courts. This seer furthermore foretells that there aro troublous times ahead for Castle Peterhof, and that a battle must be waged for possession of the Mrs. Poulson, the widow of the Count, is not a believer in the supernatural ana has intrusted her legal affairs to Judge Gibson. The Judge says the spirit will may be produced in court, but says that it will never go to probate. NOHARA WAS FORGETFUL. The Japanese Clubhouse Man- ager Levanted a I'Amer- icaine. A Crowd of Creditors Call on the Secretary of the Railroad Company. Oakland Office San Francisco Caii,,* 908 Broadway, August 30. f H. K. Nohara, the sportive Japanese manager of the Haywards Clubhouse, who is supposed to have eloped with a pretty young governess, had a forgetful memory, lie was a great narrator of 'Japanese stories, but there was also a good deal of the American about his manner of leaving. All day to-day a string of creditors has been calling on Secretary Stone of the Haywards Electric Road, and reminding him of NohaTa's forgetfulness. Nohara was only manaeer of the clubhouse, but his cards read "proprietor and manager," and, on the strength of his cards, his credit was good, aa the clubhouse lias a first-class rating. "I can't say how much we are out," said Mr. Stone to-day, "but I would have liked a settlement with Mr. Nohara before he went. I have several evidences of his forgetfulness here, and I am afraid the end is not yet. The string of creditors has been very steady to-day, but everything is straight now. The new manager is duly installed, and we never expect to hear of Mr.Nohara again." IT WILL NOT BE VETOED Mayor Davie Is Pledged to Encourage Legitimate Competition. OPPOSITION IN TELEPHONY. Councilman Bassett's Stand No Criterion of What His Final Vote Will Be. Oakland Office San Francisco Cali,) 908 Broadway, August 30. ( There is no doubt now that within a few months Oakland will be enjoying freedom from ihe telephone monopoly that has ex- isted here since telephony became a busi- ness in this city. There are several facts contained in *he ordinance awarding the franchise that have been somewhat over- looked. The new company Is limited in its charges, and this is the main reason why the action of the Council accepting the bid has not met with such general approval. The rates to be charged must not exceed $2 50 per month per residence telephone; S3 50 for office, and $1 85 for long-distance telephones, with no switch charges. These represent a cut of about 45 per cent on present rates. It has been stated that because Councilman Bassett opposed the ordinance the Mayor willveto it when itis presented to him. This Is not at all probable. Although Mayor Davie and Mr. Bassett have always stood together, the Mayor has expressed himself so strongly in favor of all kinds of competition that there is no ground for believing he will veto the new franchise, which does not leave It optional whether a cut be made or not, but makes a heavy reduction a part of the franchise. It is not at all certain that Mr. Bassett will not vote for the ordinance on its final passage. When the telephone ordinance was read very few of the members noted its contents carefully, as they knew there must be a lapse of nearly a month before the matter would be finally decided. Mr. Bassett's reason for voting "no" was on the ground that he thought the price offered was too low. But after the enforced reduction of rates was argued upon by General Hart several Councilmen were "convinced that the competition was a desirable thing. "I'm not opposing competition, said the Mayor to-day. "We have not half enough of it. Let it come. I'm not here to prevent people Investing in Alameda County. Wnen the telephone franchise comes, to me I shall consider it on ita merits, but when a measure of that kind is passed upon by the Council it is pretty safe to assume that the right thing has been done. I may say that the reduction of rates has impressed me as a very desirable clause." NOCHINESE HOP-PICKERS. Thousands of White People Are Now En Route to Pleasanton. Efforts of the Ladles Last Year Have Resulted In a Marked Success. Oaklakd Office San Francisco Call,) 908 Broadway, Aug. 30. l Hop picking for the season will com- mence at Pleasanton next Monday and hundreds of people are now leaving this City and camping near the hop fields. Several thousand people are employed an- nually for a few weeks and the grounds are covered with tents and camps. Till lost year no oreanized effort was made to displace the Chinese, who looked upon the Pkasanton hop fields as a sort of Mecca toward which thousands made an annual fall pilgrimage. Last year the local newspaper offices and the ladies of the local churches opened free registration bureaus and supplied a large portion of the pickers. The proprietors came to the aid of the ladies and paid a higher rate to white pickers than to Chinese. By this means the first blow was struck at Chinese labor, and although it was not possible at that time to procure all the white help that was needed arrangements have been made for this season that, itis hoped, will result in there being no need to employ foreign help. During the past few years the acreage sown to hop vines has been largely in- creased, and the crop is reported as being exceptionally fine. According to the fig- ures supplied by one of the largest proprietors Aiaracda County hops are equal in quality to any grown in the State, and the vines bear more hops than even in the Sonoma Valley. It it this prolific growth that enables pickers to make pretty good wageß, as they work with very little moving around. The State Labor Bureau has undertaken to supply as many peopJe as are necessary to prevent the employment of Chinese, and next Sunday four carloads of hop- pickers will leave San Francisco for Pleas- anton.
