by Bates he ionnd that it had not been
sworn to and bo his desire could not be
gratified.
Professor Bates made all manner of ac
cusations against J. .1. Moran and Profes
sor Binckledpe and incidentally asked for
572,850. Professor Moran was much sur
prised at the suit, as it contained a gieat
deal tiiat was new to him.
i'rofessor Bates had an income oor. r
S'OOO a year from his school," said Mr.
.Moran, '-why did he not pay his teachers?
He declares that was the amount of his
profits, but ho d;d not pay us. As to the
consp:racy. Professor Blsckledgeand my*
sell and others did discuss possible means
of getting what was due us, but did no;
tcherue to injure bates or his school.
"If Professor Is:ackiedge was not a com
vetent teacher wny did Bates Keep him so
long? Another faise charge ia that letters
owned by the principal were stoien with a
view to receiving from them knowledge oi
his private affairs. He was notoriously
careless about such things and left letters
all over the building so that the boys saw
them and his private correspondence war<
pubiic property.

BERKELEY, Cal., June 17.— Work will
probably be commenced at once on the
proposed university reservoir to be con
structed back of the chemistry building.
Tests of the toil selected from various por
tions of the site will be made with a view
to ascertaining the most suitable point at
which to construct the necessary dam
across Strawberry Creek.
ii is estimated that the natural reser
voir which will be formed by the mere
damming of the creek will be capable of
holding 25.000,000 gallons of water.
The investigation of the soil preliminary
to the backing up of the water has been
found necessary on account of the theory
that underground channels abound in that
section, and that the water which comes
out on Audubon street flows nnderneatn
the bed of trie creeK. If this theory is
found to be based on far;, it will be neces
sary to cover the bottom of the reservoir
with a stratum of clay, over which will be
spread a layer of stone and cement.

9UB Broadway, June 17. (
Oakland has decided to have a irreat
celebration of the fourth of July. Two
years ago the celebration on Lake Merritt
ended with a fatality caused by the explo
sion of the firework barge, %nd last year
nothing was attempted.
This year the committee of seventeen
started to arrange for celebrations on the
Fourth and on Christian Endeavor day,
but they met with some snags and dis
solved.
This action did not prove acceptable to
i lie Hoard of Trade, and a s'.art was made
to secure a tit ting pageant for the Fourth,
it met with a ready response, and money
and enthusiasm kept pace with each other
till success was assured.
Captain Webb N. Pearce. the veteran
parader, has been selected for grand mar
shal, and Captain George B. Daniel? will
be chief aid. There lias been so much sec
tionalism in recent parades that tnere is
now a general aesire to harmonize all in
terest* in a general patriotic ceiebrat'.on
to which all will be welcome.
John A. Britton, general manager of the
gas company, is very enthusiastic and has
already iulfilled his pledge to raise the
necessary funds.
"In two days," he said, "I succeeded in
having $l"00 subscribed toward ihe Fourth
of July fund, and I have only made a
start. 1 find a general disposition to pus.i
the thing along."
P. If. Fisher is in charge of the literary
exercises and he is being supported by
every patriotic citizen n Oakland.

The Peculiar B diing for the Tcwn
Printing the Talk cf the
Town.
BERKELEY, Cal., June 17.— The war
now te.ng waged lor Berkeey'* town
printing gives promise ot develoiine into
a 'caudal. £ome facts have come to light
which foreshadow any thing Dut a cloud
less sky for the contestants in the race for
the work name 1. A special committee of
the Board of Trustees, consisting of Presi
dent Richards and Messrs. Hoff and
Marston, will meet to-morrow evening to
probe the journalistic tumor and to try
and arrive at a fteeilion a* to which paper
will be awarded the t.atrona.e. Mean
while the peculini circumstances a. tend
ing the bidding for the work is the topic
of discussion on every hand, and the sen
sational coup of Fred W. Manjuand it
talked of pro and con on every ptreet
corner.
Some of the Trustees are known to
strongly favor the new light in college
town journalism, and there is a wide
spread satisfaction at the appearance of a
factor which saved the town from an al
leged combine. The printing of public
advertisements is now done by the i. .
zette for 7 cents. La«t year "there was
keen competition to secure t!ie contract at
that raie. This year the lowest bid wns
$I—over1 — over fourteen times the present rate.
The next bid was that of the Herald,
which made an offer to do the work for
$1 05. Then came the Advertiser, which
proposed about 8 cents last year, with a
bid of $108.
The remarkable unity in advance of
rates is taken as evidence that a combina
tion was formed by the three established
dailies. The World came like a bombshell
into their camp, ana now the trustees'
committee is wrestling with the question
of whether it hp.d a rubt to do so.
1 he i««iif has raised the biiterest con
troversy Hericeley has seen for many
years. .Personalities are already beine in
dulged in and there is tnik of proceed
ings of a sensational nature. On the
one side are 8. H. and Louis Boric
heim of the Gazette, E. Rawlins nnd
Mr-. A'lelniie Marquand of itie Advocate
and C F. Otienther of the Herald, and on
the other side are F. \V. Mirquand aud
his unknown bnckers.
The committee of the Town Trustees
will take evidence frnx both sties and
then dec.de whether the World was enti
tled to enter a bid for the printing.
Tne editor of the new paper is J. L.
Scotchler.

Mitchell, a Park-street grocer, uaa loU a

The clerk himself, Michael Moralee, is

about finding the money than he does for
the return of the clerk. Mcralee has be- n
employed for fome time and was trusted
to make collections. Th;? month tie was

failed to m«ke returns on them. On Tues
day he did not come to work, but yester

STATUS OF THE ANNEXATION EOOM.
OAKLAND, Oal.. June 17.— Since tbe districts north of the city were annexed
there has been a great increase in the desire to have a Greater Oakland that will not

land, and a league has been formed with that object in view. Many prominent Berke

908 Broadway, June 17. )
Mrs. Yarde-Buller did not come hero
merely to rest. She came because she was
reduced to the verge of starvation in Eng
land and became dependent on her son.
Mrs. Buller is now very sick at the Ho
tel Metropole and cannot Fee any one, but
Lieutenant Blair, her son by her first hus
band, consented to speak to-day and tod
the various reasons that induced his
mother to com» to Oakland.
"My mother will probably never return
to England," he said, "but will quietly
settle down here. Her health is com
pletely shattered, and it is doubtful if she
Jives two years longer. Whether we hall
op n the Kirkland estate litigation or not
depends on Mrs. Wheeler, my mother's
sister. At the time of the last settlement
between the sisters Mrs. Wb»eler agreed
to pay her two sisters certain sums of
money monthly. Mrs. Safford received
just one- installment ami my mother two,
and then they ceased.
"My mother and younger brother would
have starved there in England if I had
not some rnonev of mv own. My father
left me about sso,ooo and that is all' we had
to support us. We are now here to see
that the terms of the former agreement
are kept or a new one entered into ; if not,
then a lit will be brought.
"OM Mrs. Kirk ham is not responsible
for her actions and is entirely under the
influence of Mrs. Wheeler. My grand
mother asked my mother to come to Cali
fornia and Mrs. Buller will not leave until
sho has seen her mother. Mrs. Wheeler
hurried Mrs. Kirkbam off to the country
as soon a* we arrived at New YorK, and
the day after we came to Oakland Mrs.
Wheeler also left town. But wo are not
to be put off. We can wait for their re
turn. Mr?. Kirkham is now 87 years old
pnd the physicians say that she cannot
live but a few weeks longer."
As soon as Mrs. Yarde-Buller is strong
enough she will sue for a divorce. When
she is awarded the decree the English
courts will confirm it and this will force
her husband to settle $40,000 upon her.

A Grand Military Pageant and a
Choir of One Thousand
Voc:?.
A meeting of the executive board of the
Fourth of July committee was held at
their headquarters, 850 Market street, last
evening with Chairman George 11.
Fletcher presiding. The parade com
mittee reported having :-ent out mv ta
tion^ to the various inaei endent military i
organizations In the City. A letter was
r.ceived from General Suafter, who prom
ised to send out two Lands, two corupii
nies of cavairy, two companies of infantry
and two companies of artillery. These
troops will probably be under command
of General Shatter.
Encouraging replies were also received
from the Eastman Military Company, the j
Eintracht Rifles, the French Zouaves, In
dependent Kitles, Juarez Guards and the j
Lafayette Guards. The First Kegiment,
National Guards, will also turn out. !
Colonel \V. P. SuJlivan will act as grand
marshal.
The Master Mariners' Association also
is actively interested in the parade and
will contribute a lioat bearing a miniature
vessel-
The literary committee reported having
engaged an orator for the day and the se
lection of a suitaD'.e poem.
The regatta committee have been act
ive!}* encaged in interesting the Whitehall j
boatmen and o.hers along ihe water front, J
and promiss to contribute a very interest
ing part tv the day's programme.
Mr. Perkins, chairman of the hall com
mittee, presented the following list of j
halls which could be engaged for the even
ins.: The Metropolitan Temple, seating j
1400, at $20; Native Sons' Hall, seating :
15 0, at $20; Woodward's Pavilion, seating ■
8500. at |100, and the Mechanics' Pavilion, j
>ea;in>.' BiJJ. Ht $100.
Mr. Perkins moved that the Mechanics' i
Pavilion be selected, as it would be well
t-quipped with seats, placed there in prep- :
aralion for the Christian Endeavor con- j
vention.
Th« Christian Endeavor choir of 1000
voices which will sing at the convemion
has accepted an invitation to be present;
and render a few National airs.
The following resolution was then of
fered by Colonel W. P. Suliivan:
Whereas, The Fourth of July Committee
believes Hint a creditable celebration of the j
National anniversary can be had without the j
expenditure of large sum< of money and with
out calling on our already overburdened I
i 1 u -citizens for further contributions of;
money a lor public affairs; now, therefore, be it !
red, That the sum ol .*3OOO appro
priated by <he Bounl oi Supervisors of this
i ity and County for the celebration of the !
Fourth of July anniversary is au adequate |
provision for the requirements of this com- i
mitiee; and that, accordingly, no subscrip- I
lions or contributions .'or the celebration of j
the Fourth of July be asked of tbe citizens |
oi the liiy; and be it further
■id. That all money already subscribed i
by ncii citizens bo reiunded on proper appli- !
cation.
Mr. Sullivan stated, in favor of the ;
resolution, that in previous celebraiions
larpe expenditures were made lor fire- '
works, which were generally unsatisfac

The Coats Company Makes Denial.
It has been reported repeatedly that the
Coats Thread Company of this State had pur
chased the business of the Willimantic Linen
Company. This the Coats Thread Jompn:iy
management emphatically denies. The object
of this rumor is apparent, viz., in some way to
injure the business of the California industry,
which has gained an enviable position in the
markets of the world by turning out good
work.
