Fhotilil he admitted on a footing superior to

Men do not have the time and It may be

would induce them to work with the unsparing

I'ublic opinion holds the scepter to-day. This I
Is an ace of publicity, when rich and poor. !
Ftrong and weak, speak out. Let us only work !
on public opinion in all countries and we shall
succeed.
What 1? war before battle but the massing
together of engines to kill men? What is It
during battle but men dealing death blows
while the ground drinks blood and corpses
lie thick as autumn leaves? What Is It after
battle but the sending of grief throughout the
land which nothing can assuage?
fc'hnull not humanity do all in Its power to ',
stop this shame to humanity? Two thousand
years after the angels sang out "Peace on
Karth'" there are wars. Let meetings be held
In every nation beneath the sun and let men
say they are the patriots of patriots, who
seek to save lives of men. Let justice reign
and let It go forth from this great city of
London to-night a message to the world, that
Justice is reigning and that peace universal
will be secured.
The speech was received with great en
thusiasm.
Mrs. Mary Wright Sewall. vice presi
dent of tho council, speaking upon the
resolution, said:
When the war cloud? settled down upon
the United States every one asked what would
become of the National Peace Council. The
press did not suppress Its jeers, but we con
sidered the declaration of war a trumpet call
to us to be up and doing. We felt a greater
need than ever. We never thought war a pos
sibility, and we are surprised at our mistake.
Pr»?sldent MeKlnley accepted our appeal. Our
action was not an impeachment of our Gov
ernment, but an example to help all Govern
ments, an example which can only be obtained
from women.

commememt'nt pxt-rcis>--s of the Col- .
lepe of Notre Dame were held this |
mtirnlng, commencing at 9 o'clock,
before a large gathering of the parents of
the pupils and friends of the school. The
programme, which consisted chiefly of
musical numbers, was one of the best of
the kind ever hoard in this city. The
numbers were well rendered and reflect
great credit upon tho painstaking pist>rs
in charge of this institution of learning.
This was the fcrty-second commencement
and in the audience were many mothers
of the pupils, who had come to pay horn- .
age to their own alma mater.
The stage was decorate! artistically
with smilax, exergreens and the national
colors, and in the background were six
pianos, which were used in presenting the
musical selections and choruses. Potted
plants and fresh flowers from the flour
ishing gardens that surround the college
completed the decorations.
The several groupings of the elappos,
each member attired in white, made an
impressive scene. The clergy of the dio
cese occupied seats of honor near the
stage.
The graduates who received diplomas
conferring collegiate honors and who were
crowned with wreaths from the hands of
the Rt. Rev. Bishop Grace, were: Miss
Mary Kelly and Miss Ella McGuire. The
first named young lady read an essay en
titled "Respice Finem," and Miss Mc-
Guire also read a paper, her subject being
"Perseverando." Both acquitted them
selves creditably, proving that they fully
deserve the high honors they received to
day. I

terday young Wickersham was cut off
with five dollars, the devisee explaining;

clause providing that Frank Wioker-1
sham should only receive a nominal
amount from the estate. The property
left by the late banker Is known to ex
ceed one million dollars in value, and but
for the fact that a considerable portion
of it had been deeded away in anticipa
tion of death's approach wouid have ap
proximated twice that. Cash, bonds,
railroad and bank stock, lands and houses
arc represented in the estate in large
quantities.

FRANK SOMERS
STILL IN HIDING
Believed He Has Taken
to the Hills.
NEVADA CITY, June 27.— Chris Gail
hraith, the victim of Frank Somers'
; bloodthirsty enmity, is having a sorry
time uf it. His face is swollen out of
shape and discolored till his nearest
; friends can hardly pee a familiar look
i about it. One eye is shut and he can
! see but little out of the other. He is
enduring all sorts of pain. His wife
i came down to-day from their home at
j the Central House and will remain here
! for the present.
The wonder to those who claim to be
familiar with the circumstances that
led up to Sunday's fracas is that Gail
braith did not go gunning for the gray
young lothario many months ago in
stead of simply warning him to keep
away from his hearthstone. The offi
cers all agree that it is a scandalous
affair, and intimate that if Somers is
caught and brought to trial there will
come to the surface a rare sensation.
The question to-day is, is the fugitive
still on the Washington Ridge, or has
he followed the example of Murderer
Moore and fled the county? The ridge
is an ideal hiding place for a criminal.
It is three or more miles wide, extend
ing from Deer Creek to the South Yuba
River, and is more than three times as
long. Most of it is heavily timbered
and there are innumerable almost bot
tomless canyons, deserted mining tun
nels and other places where a hunted
man could rest secure from detection.
There are not more than fifty or sev
enty-five people In the entire section,
and they are too busy with their own
affairs, such as mining, wood chopping
and other peaceful pursuits, to bother
their heads much in stalking offenders
against the law. It would be easy for
Somers to elude officers by staying
there.
A report was circulated here to-day
that Somers had sent word through his
brother Tom that he would surrender
if the Sheriff himself went up there
after him, but neither Brother Tom nor
Sheriff Getchell have heard anything
of it. In fact, Tom freely expresses
the opinion that his wayward young
kinsman has already reached the limit
of "indiscretion," and that the best
thing he can do is to give himself up
and face the music.
The Somers boys used to live on
Water street in this city. Their parents
died when they were young and they
were sent to the Orphan Asylum at
Grass Valley, where they remained for
some time.

QUESTION OF WAR
TAX RAISED AGAIN
One More Suit Against
Wells, Fargo & Co.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
NAPA, June 27.— Thompson, Beard &
Sons, proprietors of a large mercantile
establishment, have undertaken, through
their attorneys. Webber & Rutherford
of this place, the task of compelling the
Wells-Fargo Express Company to pay
the internal revenue tax on the packages
it handles. The plaintiffs ask that a writ
of mandate be issued ordering the defen
dants to receive and deliver a certain
package in question.
The plaintiffs, as a California corpora
tion carrying on business in Napa, allege
that the defendant, being a common car
rier, are In duty bound to receive and
carry packages offered to them, giving
in return for same receipts with internal
revenue stamps affixed; that the plain
tiffs on June 15. IM)9, tendered to defen
dants a package for delivery, whereupon
defendant unlawfully and extortionau-ly
demanded of plaintiffs, in addition to
their regular lawful charge of 25 rents,
1 cent extra to cover cost of a revenue
stamp. That it is not now and never
has neen the duty of plaintiffs to pay
such revenue, and that plaintiffs would
not comply. Thereupon defendant refused
to carry the package to its destination.
That in the course of their business tno
plaintiffs are constant shippers of goods
and that unless they comply with the un
lawful and extortionate demand of the
defendant they will be forced to forego
shipments, to their irreparable detriment,
damage and injury.
Mr. Beard, of Thompson. Beard & Sons,
said in talking to a Call representative
to-day that he objected to paying the
revenue tax when first demanded by the
company more than a year ago, and, be
ing a large shipper, the company had
agreed to pay it. The agreement was
kept up to a month ago, when fche com
pany asked Mr. Beard to pay it. H.»
refused, and hence the suit. Messrs.
"Webber and Rutherford, attorneys for
the plaintiffs, filed the writ of mandate
on June IS in the Superior Court of Napa
County. Judge Ham of that court signed
the alternative writ on June 19 and served
the same on Aaron & Stein, defendant.,
representatives in San Francisco. The
alternative writ was made returnable on
July 3, 1899. and on that date the suit
will begin. Messrs. Webber and Ruther
ford are young lawyers of ability, deter
mined to win, and on behalf of their cli
ents will fight It to the last. A case sim
ilar to this is Fitzgerald vs. Wells-Fargo
Express Company, now pending in the
Superior Court of Snn Francisco, brought
there from the United States Circuit
Court on a question of original Jurisdic
tion, and the final settlement of the ques
tion rests on the decision of these two
cases.

VAUGHAN PRAISES
THE AMERICANS
Meeting of the Catholic
Union Society.
DUKE OF NORFOLK PRESIDED
ARCHBISHOP IRELAND ON ENG
LISH-AMERICAN RELATIONS.
• —
Thinks the Two Countries Will Come
Closer Together — Thanks for
English Toleration of
Roman Catholics.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
LONDON, June 27.— The Duke of Nor
folk, Premier Duke, hereditary Marshal
and Chief Butler of England, presided to
day at a special meeting of the Catholic
Union Society of Great Britain, convened
to hear an address by Archbishop
Ireland.
Baron Clifford of Chudleigh, Count of
the Holy Roman Empire, and* all the
Catholic nobility in London were present.
A letter was read from Cardinal Vaughan,
Archbishop of Westminster, expressing
the hope that the Catholic Church in,
England would become more closely al
lied to the Catholics of the United States.
He referred to the generosity of the
American people when he founded the
Catholic mission at Mtllhill, and said that
America first received missionaries from
here to the negro race. The future, in his
judgment, seemed to indicate even a more
intimate friendship between the two na
tions than had existed in the past.
Archbishop Ireland expressed his
pleasure at having an opportunity to ad
dress some of the greatest hereditary
families of England who had distinguished
themselves in science, art and literature.
The liberty granted by England to Rinnan
Catholicism would, he believed, greatly
influence the nations of the world, who
would imitate ht-r action in this question;
and her t-xnmple would thus be the means
of extending the church of Rome through
out the world.
Referring to the cordial relations be
tween Great Kritain and the United
States, the Archbishop said he hoped this
friendship would increase as the years
passed — a sentiment which was received
with hearty cheers.
Bishop Thomas O. Gorman of Sioux
Falls and the Bishop of Emmaus,
Palestine, were among those who listened
to the address.
MRS. LEIBBRANDT DID
ALL THE PROPOSING
Testimony of Jean Sorg in the
Breach of Promise
Suit.
SAN JOSE. June 27.— The taking of tes
timony was completed to-day in the $50,-
I 000 breach of promise suit of Mrs. Bertha
| Leibbrandt, the Santa Cruz widow, who
demands this sum from Jean Sorg, the
Arizona miner, who, she claims, failed to
I keep his promise of marriage.
Mrs. Leibbrandt was cross-examined
this morning. She stuck to her story
that Sorg had proposed marriage and she
accepted. Also that she began to dispose
, of her personal effects in order to carry
out her part of the contract.
Mrs. Elizabeth Wencks testified that
Mrs. Liebbrandt told her Sorg had prom
. ised to marry her. E. L. 'Wencks. Mrs.
"VYencks" husband. gave similar testimony.
■ M. E. Bankley and Mrs. M. McNamafa
gave testimony along the same lints.
Mrs. W. Pieruoques was the first wit
ress called for defense. She knew Mrs.
I,elbbrandt well. The plaintiff had told
her S'jrg had asked her to live with him
as his wife, but she had never heard her
say Sorg proposed to her.
Jean Sorg, the defendant, was the next
witness. He did not use very good En
glish and his funny answers pro% - oked
much merriment. He admitted he had
spt-nt much of his time in Santa Cruz
in Mrs. Iveibbrandt's company, but had
never proposed to the widow. On the
contrary, plaintiff did all the proposing;
in fact, every day she asked him
to marry her. He contradicted Mrs.
T.eibbrandt's statement that there had
been any Improper relations between
them. Witness stated he was married
last October in San Francisco and had a
grown son and daughh .• by a former
wife. He told plaintiff repeatedly that he
did not wish to marry her. but she kept
on proposing and seemed determined to
have him. He pitied the woman and sev
eral times gave her sums of money be
cause she was kind to him. He was go
ing to take up a mortgage for her at one
time, but on investigation found it was
not a safe investment. After he left San
ta Cruz she wrote to him for money, but
hf paid no attention to the letters. She
.ilko came to San Jose and demanded
money from him and threatened to sue
for breach of promise if he refused. This
closed the testimony. The case will go
to the jury to-morrow.
CANADIANS BRING IN
A COUNTER PROPOSAL
This Makes the Boundary Question
Seem as Far From Settlement
as Ever.
WASHINGTON. June 27.— The negotia
tions for a modus vivendi regulating the
Alaskan boundary have fallen into a
state that jeopardizes a successful out
come and causes apprehension among of
ficials. Nothing ,has been heard from
Embassador ('hoate as to the results of
the conference he had to-day with Lord
Salisbury on this subject, but the last
phase of the case was that the Cana
dians had come back with a counter pro
posal in place of accepting the definite
American proposition, which had been
carefully drawn with the sole purpose of
preventing any future controversy over
the points already agreed upon between
Choate and Lord Salisbury.
Instead of following the lines of the
American proposal and confining the
counter proposal to a plain statement of
the points already roughly indicated as
marking the boundary, this last issue pro
posed a radical change in the line on the
Dalton trail and was of a character
wholly unacceptable to the American side,
involving as it did the transfer into Ca
nadian jurisdiction of the fortunes and
claims of many American miners. Un
less there is a decided abatement on one
side or the other of the demands the de
sired modus will be as unlikely of attain
ment as was the permanent agreement on
the boundary question and the chances
for a reassembling of the joint high com
mission will fade away entirely.

cussed from all standpoints by eminent

TRAGIC DEATH
OF ANDREW MARKS
Killed His Wife and Then
Himself.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
VICTORIA, B. C, June 27.— News
was brought by the steamer Empress
of China of the tragic death of Andrew
Marks, a San Francisco man who went
to Manila on one of the transports sail
ing out of the Golden Gate, and the Ma
nila woman who but seven days before
the tragedy he made his wife.
Marks, who was 41 years of age, made
a living as a cook to the army officers,
but in company with a Filipino woman,
to whom he was married, he deserted
them last May and went to Hongkong.
On arriving at Hongkong he estab
lished a restaurant, he being the cook
and his wife, whose maiden name was
Tairade, the waitress. On May 27,
seven days after the wedding, they
quarreled, and the woman left Marks
and took refuge in the house of a coun
tryman of hers. When Marks discov
ered her Might he followed and trace!
her to the house of a Filipino. The
owner of the house was not in, a Chi
nese servant being in charge of the
place. Marks pushed his way past him
and went upstairs.
He found his wife lying on the floor
of one of the rooms, and seizing her by
the hair he yanked her to her feet.
Then drawing a revolver he put a bul
let through her heart and another into
her brain. Then turning the revolver
on himself he placed it behind his ear
and almost blew the top of his head
off. He fell dead across the lifeless
body of his Filipino wife. Letters from
Consul Wildman and the marrlape li
cense were found in Marks' pocket.
