The Oakland Tragedy. PUBLIC SENTIMEST. Oaki-ASI), July 28'.h.— Public sentiment, so tar as expressed, is decidjdly on the side of Lffevre. Still thera is great sympathy felt for Schroder, whose ravh act ia attribut able to excessive excitement caused by the terrible disclosure of his wife of her dishonor. Laboring under intense mental excitement, he did not stop to cooly weigh matters, but hastened to execute vengeance. His act is not'justified, but is looked upon leniently and as nut unreasonable. [SECOXD DISPATCH.] rt'KERAL OF THK VICTIM. Oaklasd July 28th.— The funeral of Dr. Lefevre took place this afternoon from St. John's Church, which was so densely crowded that many were unable to enter and lingered in the churubyard watching the cortege. [THIRD PISPATCH.] PRELIMINARY tXAMINATIOJf. Oakland, July 28t.h.— At 10 o'clock this morning the case of E. F. Schroder, charged with the murder of Dr. Lefevre, waa called in the O»klaud Police Court, Judge Yule presiding, f ->* preliminary examination. The prisoner entered the Court- room accompanied by his attorneys, W. W. Foote, A. A. Cohen and Carroll Cook. Rev. Dr. Steh biua, the father-in-law of the accused, entered and aat with the c mnsel. The people were represented by District Attorney E. M. Gibson and Assistant District Attorney S. P. Hall. The Courtroom was crowded to the doors with interested spectators and auditors of the bcene. The prisoner sat next to Dr. Stebbins, wearing that calm and sadly thonghtf ul demeanor he has maintained since the tragedy. TESTIMONY OF XRS. KEENLY. Mrs. Leontine Keener, the lady who occu pied the dental chair at the time of the shooting, wa» c died. She testified that she lived in San Francisco, but was in Oakland at Dr. Lefevre's office on Monday. She was there when the shooting took place. Dr. 1,-fevr<* left the room, and but a moment «lapsed before she was startled by ihe report of a pistol. She jumped from the chair and turned in time to see the Doctor come into the room and then fall to the floor. A m»n followed him iv and fired a second e hot She heard no conversation in the adjoining room when tbe Doctor was in there. No one called Dr. Lefevre out of the operating room. The witness supposed that he bad gone into the adjoining room to procure an instrument to place gfUfl in a filling. The Doctor had been in the adjoining roeoi scarcely a moment be fore witness beard the shot. She heard in: conversation whatever in the adjoining room. The door between the two was closed, but she thought not tightly. The man who fired the shot was abuut ten feet away from the Doctor when the second shot was fired. CROSS-EXAMINATION. The examination was concluded and the croHS-;xamiuation began. When the Doctor went out the mother of witness, Mrs. Spotts, and Mi-n Agnew remained in the room. She did not hear the door close as the Doctor went out, and fihe xuppofeed, therefore, that it was not tightly clowd. S!ie did not know who oyened the diKir when the Doctor re turned. She was not perfectly certain ci m cerning tbe time which elapued between the time that the Doctor left the room and when he returned, but thought it was about a min ute. But it might have been three or four. She supposed that the Doctor had gone out for an instrument. But he had not paid bo. He said nothing before leaving the room. Had there been loud talking in the adjoining room witness thought she cnulil have heard it. Witness had been to the office often. She was spending the Hummer at Tubbs Hotel. Upon being asked if she was friendly with Dr. Lefevre, she replied that she kntw him as her dentist, that wait all. FURTHER TESTIMONT— RECESS. Mrs. Jane Spotts was called. She testified that she wan a resident of San Frai-.cisco, and was at Dr. Lefevre'a office on Monday after noon. Her statement of the case was similar to that of the two preceding witnesses. She heard no conversation in the adjoining room when the Di.ctor was there. She heard no one call him into the next room. She did not know if the door between the rooms was closed bffore the Doctor went out or not. But she heard no pound of any one coming in, and, therefore, cuppones it nmut have been closed when the Duotor went out. She heard no tound of a closing door, and imagined from that that the door was not tightly closed. Ju t before Dr. I/efevre left the room he hid chip|>ed a piece of tooth from Mrs. Keen ■>'« m"iiih and was required to take out a little gold that had been placed in the cavity. She cuppmed he had gone to get an instrument, but knew nothing about it. She thought the D>ctor had been out of the room about a minute when she heard the fiist Dr. W. E. Brook r testified that the door through which the Doctor came in after be ing shot opened fiom the operating-room, so that it would have to be pulled open before he could enter. The Court then took a recess. AFTERNOON SESSION. In the afternoon officer J. S. Fields was placed on the stan'i. He told the story of the arrent as he did at the inquest. He said that| when Schroder and his wife and child arrived at the prison, Schroder told) his wife to go home and take care of the children. She replied: "Remember, if I go home that this is the last time you see me alive." He told her not to cay that. She repeated the statement iwice again. Dr. E. W. Buck took the stand, and testi fied to the wounds of Dr. Lefevre, and to the autopsy which he conducted. Dr. Selfridye testified to having extracted the bullet from the body of the deceased, and identified the bullet in the care of the Clerk as the one he had taken out. Keilcf for the Caraways— Quick Work at the Siuvy lard. Vallejo, July 28th.— The Ncvm of this afternoon says: Last evening, in accordance with a request from J. W. Grace & Co. of San Francisco, for a vessel to proceed' to the rescue of the. castaways on Socorro Island, Secretary Thompson ordered the Freda to be got tun ready at once and dispatched : The following answer w.-w sent to the applicants : • : .Usitkd Statks Navy Yard, ; 'l\ 1&. V '.. ■ Mauk I.SLAXD, July 27, 1380. I; ■ Tour lo'.l cr has been hauded to me by Mr. Sleeves, maie of the Mathilda. I have ordered a vessel to be immediately made ready, and she will sail to morrow fur ttocorro iv search of the hist portion of the crew of the Mathilda. She v one of the fastest achjouere in the navy, and , will reach there in a week or ten days." ' SSUjcyus goes with her. '"I will write you to morrow. B. THOMPSON, :•..• :.i ■i.-i--<i'%--i \\yi i i Secretary of the Navy. .» ■ As soon as the above telegram had' been seat the Freda . was hauled ] in front of the storehouse alongside of the quay wharf, and a can :f . of ; men j placed •on board of her, with orders to take oil the old rigjinj and replace it with now. f Another gang of men were de tailed to store profusions aboard of the little craft, end orders were sent to Re.ir- Admiral Hodge; s to detail offcers and a crew ; for her. The ;■■ work was « carried ~ on ; ; most 'of r the night,' ; and - this : morning at -j 10 ; o'clock the yccht j • was " placed . , in - ; commission by Captain* P. C. Johnson, and the follow in;; officers and V crew ' placed sin charge : Lieutenant i Isaac J. Yates, Commander ; Ensign, Alexander Sharp ; | midshipman, \ H. Tayror : passed assistant surgeon, C. H. H. Ha!L \— George i Staves, ;. the ; mate :of J the wrecked ship, will also accompany the vessel, besides ei^'ht seal: en and j a ■ Chinaman for cook. The 3 vessel ! is I supplied with thirty days' provisions, 1,200 gallons of titter, spare riggings \ and !a j lifeboat ? and \ dinghy. The Secretary of ; the Navy, Congressman Berry, Rear- Admiral y Rodgers, 'i Commodore I Cai houn, Captain Johnson and other ' officers of high rank, g*va their special attention to the fitting out of | the craft. At 12 o'clock pre cisely the was reported to the | Secretary, of the Xavy as being in complete order and ready for sea. The Secretary bid the party God- speed, and shook bands with all. The little craft started on her mission of mercy, towed by the tug Monterey, amid the cheers of the crew of the Pensacola, the playing of the band and blowing of whistles by tbe tugs in the harbor. In conversation with a Noes representative, the Secretary desired special mention made of the fact that it was a new feature in the Navy Department, to be able to fit out one of the crafts in less than twenty hours, to go on an expedition of this kind. He is confident that the Freda will make the trip in seven or eight days. Lieutenant Yates will call in at Mazatlan, od his way down to ihe island, to learn if possible anything appertaining to the ship-wrecked people. Five hundred dollars in gold is carried to be used in case the vessel runs ehort of provisions, water, etc. The mate of the lost ship, Mr. Steeves, is confi dent that the people will be found on the island. The Freda will be towed out a? far as the Heads by the Monterey, she only stop ping at San Francisco long enough for Mr. bteeves to have his clothing sent on board. While the Freda was being fitted out a telegram was received from San Francieco, stating that the English yacht Lancashire Witch would be sent down in a day or two, but now that the Freda has started she will probably not go.

The Great Council, after considerable dis cussion, voted that it should be returned to the Tribes which paid it in. The amount on hand in the Bank of Calif eroia is $976, and this money will be refunded to the Tribes. The various committees reported on the different matters referred to them at last night's session.

Johnson, from the Committee on Law and Usage, reported an answer to a question heretofore propounded thnt a Great Chief who does not have the T. P. W., and was in arrears to his Tribe, could not sit as an officer of the Great Council. Representative Grove L. Johnson, from the Committee on Legislation, reported that no action be taken with reference to provid ing a fund for the support of aged and infirm members of the Order at the present session. He also made the following report : " Your committee to whom was referred the query as to representative* from Tahoe Degree Council, report the same back, with the following an swer : That under Article 1 of the By-laws of the Great Council, a beneficial degree council is entitled to one representative in the G. C. ; that w« are informed by the mem ber* of the said Tahoe Degree Council that said Council w a beneficial degree council ; hence Tahoe Degree Council would be en titled to a representative in this G. C. But Section 1, Article 23, of the By-laws of this G. C. provides that a degree council, whethei beneficial or otherwise, must make certain reporU therein described to the G. C. Hence it U thß duty of the said decree council to make such reports to the Grand Council. We ' fiud that said degree Council has never made the reports required by law ; hence he claimed that unless they comply in this respect they be denied in the future a representation on this floor.'" The G.eat Council adjourned to 9 o'clock A. il. to-morrow. Tile Mare lslnml Knvjr Yard and Itac K.liri- Uueolinn. Valijwo, July 28th.— A Niwa representa tive vuited the navy yard this morning, for the purpose of ascertaining the views of Con structor Eanley and Secretary Thompson regarding the navy yard and their future plans. Secretary Thompson, when avked regarding his views of the navy yard, the debris question, etc., replied that personal observation of Mare Island and it 3 surround ings had convinced him that he was in srror a!i.u:* » at had produced th« shoaling of any of the waters fronting on the navy yard. He had been led to believe that the shoaling was occasioned by the washings from the mines ; but since he has been here he had atcertained that the shoaling was more from agricultural deposits, if any. While he is here he should spend conside»able time in » boat, and have soundings made, and ascertain the quijity of the sediment at the bottom of the river, etc. If required, he wonkl recommend that a line of piles be extended as far down as the maga zine, and if found necessary the removal of the coal wharf, which would be the means of causing a clear channel. He was fully satis fied that this was a proper place for the es tablishrmeßt of a fiist-class navy yard — a thing very desirable on this coast for the United States— and that he felt it hia duty *o lend his infl'ienca to that end. He considered the harbor as being unsurpassed in the United States ; that it was thoroughly protected from the invasion of an enemy or the ravages of a storm. It would be an ut ter absurdity for anyone to think that the yard would be moved from this point, which fact might as well be settled now as ever. Ha would go back to Washington and ask far a liberal appropriation for the yard and the completion of the Mohican, as well as other works. He would also recommend addi tional improvements about the yard. His visit will be long enough to obtain a full knowledge of every little detail. The matter of the stone dock was not touched^ upon during theconversatioii. Constructor Easley express ed himself as highly pleased with the general appearance of the navy yard, and at the manner in which work was performed. It is his intention to have the Monongahela and Tuscarora placed in complete repair as soon t possible. He will recommend the com inn of the iron-plating 3hop. A careful lection was reade of the new Monadnock, all of the ships in " Rotton Row." The istructor expressed himself as agreeably ippointed in the appearance of the harbor, pronounces it one of the finest in the 11.1,1 to An»We"r— The t'blnese Question '■^»t Lou Angele*. •'/. Los : Angeles, July ' 28th.— George ;A. 'Armstrong was arrested yesterday at Santa Monica, charged with sending obscene litera ture through the Postoffice.

Terrible Tr:i;i ilj ~l lie F.i'.Won l.ishl. Pobtland, July 28th. — The following ad ditional particulars of the terrible tracedy which took place at Mohawk Vplley, Lane county, on Monday are received. It seem-< that John Cartwright and a German named Mendo had a dispute about the ownership of a piece of meadow. Ciirtwrij;ht appeared in the field and began a dispute about the pos session of the property. Mendo, who was mowing, told Cartwright to go away or he would cut off his head with his scythe. Cart wright, who was armed with a double-barreled shotgun, fired two shots at Mendo but missed him. Cartwright then repaired to a house near by and obtained another gun, loaded with buckshot, and came up within about fifteen paces of where Mendo stood. Mendo, who was then working the hay, stopped work, and etickin? the fork in the ground and rest ing on the handle, asked Cartwright, "Well, what are you going to do about it ? You have fired two shots at me, but missed me." Cartwright responded, " I'll show you what I will do," and instantly leveled his gun and shot Mendo. Part of the charge almost cut the fork handle in two. The other portion entered Men Jo's bowels, cutting them open and killing him instantly. Cartwright is in Mr. Henderson, Chief Engineer of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Com pany's Steamships, authorizes the following statement in regard to the Edison electric light, as employed on the steamer Columbia on her passage from New York to Portland : Tne light as applied in the saloons and state roomß gave perfect satiafaction, and came up to all expectations. The'exhibitions made at Rio Janeiro and Valparaiso attracted much public notice. At sea, in all kinds of weather, the vibrations, jars and general working of I the steamship did not interfere with its oper ation, and in fact made no impression upon the light. When required, the simple open ing of the steam-valve is all that is necessary to li^n l up the ship instantly, and the ordi nary skill of an enitine-room ia i«erfectly suf ficient to keep the lights in running order. The breakage of a light was due entirely to a want of practice in handling. The utility of the light for the examination of propellors, rudders, dock gates or other submarine work, is invaluable.
