— ;

From the time when Thaddeus Kos- |

ciusko fought for the independence of j

the United Slates as aid-de-camp and j

orderly officer to Washington, his services I

being cora men* ora:el by m.ans of a

monument on the banks of the Hudson

at West Point, and by the Kosciusko |

School for colored people, which Presi-

dent Thomas Jefferson founded at New-

ark, the people of this country have

always manifested a very marked interest I

in the fate of Poland. All oppressed and

down-trodden nations struggling for free-

dom meet with generous and whole-hearted j

sympathy on this side of the Atlantic, no

matter whether they he Armenians, Cre-

tans, Irish or Jews. But somehow or an-

other the case of Poland appealed more

strongly than that of any of, the unhappy

people jii't mentioned, to the American

heart. Their fight for liberty, which has

continue 1 almost without interruption for

more than 100 years, has been signalized

by so many romantic episodes, baa fur-

nished such unique examples of bravery, of

patriotism and of chivalrous self-sacrifice,

that anything which affects their we fare

meets with a keener appreciation in North

America than anywhere else in the world.

This being the case, attention should be

drawn to a v ry remarkable feature of the

new policy of conciliation, which young

Emperor Nicholas from the very moment

of is accession to the throne of Russia

has inaugurated in the Polish . provinces

of his dominions. It is nothing more nor

les than the repeal of that iniqnitous law

which prohibited every one professing

any other than the orthodox Greek

faith from owning or occupying land in

the former kingdom of Poland. Inasmuch

as the Poles, in spite of the cruel persecu-

tions to which they have been subjected

on religious as well as on racial grounds,

have remained fervent adherents of the

Roman Catholic church, this was equiva-

lent to debarring them from re-

taining possession of such of their

ancestral estates as had been left to them

after the wholesale confiscation which the

Russian Government was in the habit of

decreeing alter every revolutionary move-

ment, and even without any such cause,

but on the most frivolous and trivial of

pretexts. It is worthy of note that in

spite of the reputation for tyranny en-

joyed by the first Emperor Nicholas, and

the renown for the possession of more en-

lightened and liberal principles accorded

by history, to his son, the ill-fated Alex-

ander 11, tbi3 law was enforced with far

greater severity under the reign of the lat-

ter than during that of his parent. In-

deed, there is no ruler of Russia beneath

whose rule the Poles may be said to have

suffered so much from persecution and op-

pression of evary conceivab c character as

that of the so-called "Liberator" Czar.

The present Emperor has altered all

this and has caused it to be made known

that not only has the obnoxious law in

connection with the tenure of land in the

western provinces been repealed, but,

moreover, that he would be glad to see the

Polish nobility oncd again occupying

their ancestral estates. Ever since this

has. been understood abroad there has

been a steady flow eastward of the Polish

aristocracy, and they are,rapidly.recover-

ing, 1 by means of purchase, all those

castles and domains with which the names

of their families have been identified

since time immemorial. Among those who

hava already taken advantage of the

Czar's new policy in this particular are

the Counts Potoeki, Zamoyski, S.arzenski,

Czartoriski, and about 100 more bear-

ers of equally illustrious names, who

willdoubtless become In course of time

quite as loyal to the Czar as their fellow-

countrymen in the Austrian portion of

Poland are to Emperor Francis Joseph.

It is pleasant under the circumstances to

be able to state that these Polish Prin-

cesses and Counts, are recovering their

estates at a relatively small cost. The old

proverb, according to which violence and

persecution always end by inflicting more

injury upon the people "Who make use

thereof as an instrument than to those

against whom it was directed, has proved

Local atone for the Postofflce.

A recent dispatch from Washington stated

that efforts were being made in that city to

have the new San Francisco Postoffice building

constructed of Vermont stone. „ The J Manu-

Joseph on the forthcoming fiftieth anniversary

of his ascension to the throne. The Galician

peasantry make magnificent; cavalry soldiers

and the Polish nobility the most dashing anu

brilliant cavalry officers. Moreover, the Polish

aristocracy possess so much intuitive shrewd-

ness and innate diplomacy that from their

ranks have been recruited many of the most

responsible and valuable servants of the Aus-

tro-Hungarian crown. Thus the Prime Minis-,

ter of Austria at the present moment is a

Polish noble of the name of Count Badeui,

while Emperor Francis Joseph, on the occa-

sion of his recent state visit to the court of St.

Petersburg, was accompanied by another great

dignitary of Polish nationality, Count Golou-

Chowski, popularly known as "Golou," and

who fills the office of Minister of Foreign

Affairs for the dual empire, and performs Tike-

wise the duties of Minister and Chacncellor

of what is known as tha ''Imperial House. of

Interesting May Sales.

To-morrow and all the week we promise you

many items ; of interest in many departments. The

sale in the Cloak and Suit Department is by far the

most important sale of Outer Garments held so far

this season by any store. Such extraordinarily low

prices have rarely, if ever, been quoted on goods of

equally fine qualities. The balance of the Eastern

'Manufacturer's Clothing Stock will be offered at still

greater reductions. Where sizes, have run out in the

Prominent Citz-r.s of the Distric

Have Withdrawn From the Point

Lobos Imprcv ment Club.

Richmond is still agitated over the be-

havior of an unruly crowd at Simon's

Hall last Friday evening, when the'me*t-

ing of the Richmond Improvement Asso-

ciation was disturbed by a disorderly

demonstration. The subject was dis-

cussed ah day yesterday and last evening.

The Call was in great demand, as it con-

tained an accurate and extended account

of the affair.

There may be two sides of the question

regarding the removal of the City Cem-

etery, so the people out there say, but

they assert with positive clearness that

there is only one voice touching the dis-

turbance of the meeting. All a--ree that

the conduct of the disturbers was out-

rageous.

At Meinert's grocery store last evening,

and at other places in Richmond, the

neighbors talked the matter over, lt was

stated thai several citizens who had been

prominently identified with the Point

Lobos Improvement Club had cast their

fortunes with the Richmond Improvement

Association since last Friday night. Tbe

latter duo gained eighteen new members

night before last and yesterday.

Messrs. Troy, Fitzgerald and,Ginley,

Without recommending the Czar to Intrust

the destinies of Russia to Pilish nobles, as

has been done in the case of Austria by the

Emperor Francis Joseph, who has never made

the mistake of attempting to Aus'rianiz* his

Polish subjects, there is no reason whatsoever

why Nicholas should not, if he continues in

his present enlightened course of policy, con-

vert the Poles inhis dominions into just as

loyal and as devoted vassals and supporters of

his throne as ere the Galiclans in connection

with the crown of Austria-Hungary. And I

may add that no happier time could have been

chosen for the inauguration of a new policy of

this kind in Russian Poland, for it coincides

Posen — that is to say, that portion of the

lormor kingdom of Poland, which at the time

of the partition of the. latter in the last cen-

tury was awarded 10 Prussia. People in the

past have been so much accustomed to look

for despotism and tyranny on the part of

Russia that nobody has paid much attention

to Prussia's persecution of her Polish subjects.

True, there have been times when the perse-

cution has abated for a period. But the rea-

sons for this have been of a nature to reflect

no credit on the authorities at Berlin, for it

has been invariably due not to any sense of

justice nor to any lerations of statecraft

but merely in consequence of the influence

exercised at court by some Poliih noblewoman

possessed of the beauty and captivating charms

of her race. As long as Bismarck remained at

the head of affairs this served to Intensify his

hatred of the Poles, and the latter, looking

upon him as one of the bitterest foes

of their race, naturally took conspicuous part

in, every court cabal against him, for wnich

ItIs true be lost no opportunity of revenging

himself. When the old Emperor died and the

influence which the princely house of Radzl-

will had exercised upon htm came to an end,

Bismarck had a free hand and oppressed the

Poles, nobles as well as peasants, to his heart's

content. This continued until; his disgrace.

Shortly afterward the young Emperor becamo

subjugated by tho grace and beauty

of huroness Kosciol Kosclelski, wife of

one ot the leaders of the Polish

party in the Prussian House of Lords, and

perhaps the most popular among his country-

men of all their national poets and play-

wrights. The mastery which the Baroness ob-

tained over the young Emperor was so great

that it led to his § Majesty's reversal of the

Blsmarcti an polity toward tho Poles, where-

upon the ex-Chancellor, in tbe course of a

public speech, declared that "the Polish influ-

ence augments to the, detriment of Prussia al-

ways Inthe measure that some Polish family

obtains mora- or less influence at. court. -I

need not mention that of the Radziwills, and

to-day we have exactly the same state of af-

fairs." Bismarck's allusion to the Radziwilis

was a reference to the old Emperor's "grande

passion" for that lovely Princess Elizabeth

Radziwi.l, whom he .was at one moment on

the point of marrying, and to whom he re-

mained devoted throughout her lifetime. •

This, however, did not stay young Emperor

William. On the contrary, tt served merely

to cause him to show more and more favor to

the Kosciols, and he not only re-established in

deference to their entreaties the Polish lan-

guage in the schools and churches of Posen

and nominated a Polish ecclesiastic to the

archbishopric of that province, but likerrise

appointed a number of Polish nobles to im-

The second day's shooting of the State

of the Olympic Gun Club, came off yester-

day according to the programme, and It

was marked by some remarkable work.

The attendance was fairly large. The

.principal event, the second on the list,

was the contest for the Gold Dust trophy,

which was won by James Rice of Visalia.

It was a twenty-bird race. Rice shot in

. good form and killed his twenty sttaight.

; He had a close rival in Otto Feudner, who

also brought his twenty down in good

shape. The two high guns shot off on

j five birds, and again they made another

straight score. Another five birds were

! trapped, and once more the man from Vi-

: salia killed all of his clean. Feudner was

SAN DIEGO, Cal, May 22.— Captain

James D. Wright and Peter Asmuss*n,

who were arrested yestetday afternoon,

charged with smuggling Chinamen into

the United States, are still in jail, unable

to secure bail. i;

Asmussen was called np in United

States Commissioner Knole's court to-day

to tell what he knew of the affair. He

stated that about three months ago he

entered the employ of Wright to go with

him on a cruise down the Mexican coast

after abalone shells and meat. They put

in at Santa Tomes with the schooner

Nereid, which Wright had leased from

Joseph Sexton of this city. Leaving the

sailor in charge of the vessel Wright went

inland, returning the next day with eight

Chinamen whom he transferred to the

schooner.

After taking on a cargo of shells the

Nereid sailed northward, putting in on

May 5 at Mussel Cove, fifty-five miles

north of this city. , There they landed the

Chinamen and returned to this port, dis-

charged their cargo and sailed southward

again.

\u25a0•: Upon arriving at Santa Tomas Wright

need as though he expected some one,

but there was evidently a hitch,, for he

told Asmussen to return, alone with the

schooner to San Diego. This the latter

did. Upon his arrival he went straight to

Virgilio Bruschi, a well-known Italian

merchant, who, Asmussen claims, knew

all about the Mussel Cove incident, and

asked him if the coast were clear for

Wright to return to the city. Bruschi

said everything was all right, and Asmus-

sen sailed southward. He returned yes-

terday with Wright, and upon their ar-

rival both were, arrested by the customs

officers. The schooner/which is valued at

$000 and belongs to Jose H. Sexton, was

seized, and to-day a Chinese merchant,

A well-Known and leading merchant of

the district, who has always actea with

the Fletcher organization, told a Call re-

porter last night that bo had chanced his

view*, and would hereafter train witn the

people who favored the removal of the

City Cemetery.

He did not care to have his name men-

tioned, but frankly said that the citizens

composing the Richmond Imprbvement

Association never disturbed any one else

—that they never thought of interfering

with the meetings of the other club.

Secretary Maloney said last night that

the disturbance wa-; particularly unfortu-

nate for Richmond, because many ladies

who had recently moved into the district

attended a pubic meeting there for the

first time. They were shocked and dis-

gusted at the howling and guying of the

disturbers.

It was noted also that J. C. Brickell and

J. C. Jordan, men who had been foremost

in the development of that section of San

Francisco, attended the club meeting

Friday night to hear the subject in hand

properly considered. They were in sym-

pathy with the objects of the meeting,

and although members of the Richmond

Improvement Association did not often

attend the pub ie meetings of the club.

Yesterday E. P. E. Troy caused, the ar-

rest of Thomas Kerr, foreman of the Odd

Fellows' Cemetery, on the charge of dis-

turbing a public meeting. Men who ob-

served Kerr's conduct said he should

have been thrown out of the ball by the

police officer. Kerr is said to be a man of

good character and sound sense, and the

opinion is expressed inRichmond that he

would not have shouted 'Amen" and

pounded the floor with his cane if he had

not been prompted to make a scene.

Some regret i- expressed in the south-

ern purl of the district that Mr. H_verty

of the Laurel Hill Cemetery was arrested.

A lady at Wolfe's drugstore, in Rich-

mond, commenting on the incident last

night, said: "It is hard to fancy Mr. Hav-

crty as a disturber of the peace. He ls

such a nice, quiet little man who has

lived with his family of children and

grandchildren over on Johnson avenue

for the last two years. I should never

suspect him of disturbing anybody, be-

cause he is mildness and gentility per-

sonified."

Haverty was arrested by Officer Hogan

last Friday night. Hogan was a new man

on the beat, and did not know the dis-

turbers by name. The scenes of tumult

took him by surprise and he hardly knew

what to do. Had Officer Mulcahy, whose

regular beat is there, and who was on

duty last night, been there on Friday

evening more arrests would have been

mane.

Allthings come to an end, even tho reign of

a beautiful and clever woman. If court gos-

sip at Berlin is to be believed both the Em-

press Victoria Augusta and her mother-in-law,

Empress Frederick, showed themselves

aggrieved by the amount of talk created both

at home and abroad through the attentions

of the Kaiser to the fair Pole. Moreover, dur-

ing the grand army maneuvers that took place

in the province of Posen some of the Polish

nobles in whose castles Bavarian, baxon and

other princes of the Confederation known as

the German empire had been quartered were

emboldened by what they looked upon as

the Emperor's favor toward their race to

adopt a spirit of independence which took the

form inseveral cases of a refusal to hoist the

flag of their royal guests on the ground that

no colors could ybe permitted to fly except

those of Poland. The climax, however, came

when Baron Kosclol-Kosciolskl, on meeting

the Austrian Emperor at the opening of the

exhibition at L.mberg, in Austrian Poland,

hailed not Emperor.William but his Austrian

Majesty as the real and only "King of Poland,"

the "only King" to whom alone all Poles were

willing to accord allegiance. This speech was

immediately communicated to Emperor .Wil-

liam, and as it happened to reach his ears

simultaneously with angry protests from the

King of Saxony, who complained of ihe slights

to which his brother. Prince George, had been

subjected as above described by the Polish no-

blemen in whose castles he nad been quar-

tered during; the army maneuvers, he deter-

mined in his usual impulsive fashion to cut

aurift from influences that had become a mat-

ter of public gossip and popular ill will. So he

Intimated to the Baron and Baroness that

their absence ; from court was preferrea to

their presence, and when the Barou traveled

to Potsdam to try to explain matters the

Emperor sternly refused to receive him and

suggested in a manner that allowed no misun-

derstanding that the Barou should leave the

city at once and remain on his estates. \u25a0 ''.- \u25a0; ~~\', Tl

That ended Polish influence at the court of

Berlin, and as 'if to atoue for his infatuation,

which while itlasted served to estrange many

of his Prussian nobles and his South German

allies, William; is now manifesting as much

bitterness and illwill toward the Poles as he

formerly showed favor. He has as far as pos-

sible removed all the Polish nobles from the

positions of dignity aud trust to which he had

appointed them while subject to the thralldom

of the Baroness,' and loies. no opportunity of

saying harsh things about the Poiesin general,

denouncing them as ungrateful and. disloyal,

threatening them with the fullest measure of

his wrath in the event of his discoveung them

engaged in any practices that can possibly be

construed as treasonable. Naturally his sub-

ordinates take their cue from him, and the re-

sult is that at no momeut hay.; there been so

Oceanside, that a large quantity of opium

was smuggled ashore near there Wednes-

day night. The rancher discovered the

smugglers, who were eight in number, and

who threatened his life if he "poached"

true once more in this ' instance. For

while the Russian nobles who obtained the

Polish castles and estates either by grant

from the Russian Government, which had

confiscated them, or else merely at a nom-

inal price at the compulsory sales are now

in such a state of financial distress and

bankruptcy that Nicholas has ju-t been

forced to appoint an imperial commission

to devise some means for- their relief, the

Polish nobility have prospered to such a

degree in exile that ere long they will

constitute what is to every mouarchial

country a source of boundless strength,

namely, a rich and affluent territorial

aristocracy, possessed of sufficient means

to develop the latent resources of the

country, and above all to ameliorate the

condition of the peasantry and masses for

whoso material welfare as their tenants

they are morally responsible.

Had the until now brief reign of Nicho-

las I been signalized by no other event

than the inauguration of this new and lib-

eral policy toward the Poles It would in -it-"

\u25a0elf have been sufficient to render it notable

in the history ofRussia. The present Czar

and his advisers have at length realized

what has long been apparent to every un-

prejudiced student of statecraft, namely,

that whereas an antagonistic Poland must

necessarily be a cruel source of weakness

and of acute danger to Russia, a loyal and

contented Poland on the other hand con-'

stitutes a bulwark ofdefense to the huge

empire against its most / execrated

and hereditary, as well as dreaded

foe, namely, Germany. Poland can

never be Russianized. ,' The national

sentiment, the ......national'., religion

and the love for the national traditions are

too deeply inrooted in the hearts ol the people

for that, and' all attempts lv that direction

have lamentably Jailed, the oniy result hav-

ing been to stilt further accentuate the differ-

ence between the two races by reducing the

Poles to the condition of political pariahs,

that is to say; a caste apart, deprived of the

civic rights and privileges of the Russian-

born subjects of the . Czar, j But while Poland

cannot be Russianized It can be transformed

into an invaluable ally; and ifany doubt pre-

vailed in the mind of the present Czar It must

have been set at rest by the phenomenal suc-

cess which "has attended the policy tin .his

direction pursued in Austrian Poland by

Emperor Francis Joseph.

morning that the Mary Garratt was to be

times a week for Oakland. If the mer-

the steamer will ba kept "on right along.

Itis not settled yet where the landing

place in Oakland will be. According to

Corcoran, several enterprising citizens of

Oakland had made offers of laud for

STOCKTON. Cal., May 22.—The annual

outing of the Caledonians to-day at Good-

water Grove was a great success. The day

was perfect, and the affair drew crowds in

consequence. Last night a band of pipers

went through the streets to call attention

to the picnic; to-day, and how well they

succe- can be judged from the num-

bers who thronged to the grove. ' Much of

the success of the affair is .due to the

efforts of the members of the various com-

mittees, which were made up of the fol-

lowing Caledonians:

Baseball Terms.

"Imentioned the other day as a base-

ball term that had fallen into decay," said

Mr. B fferly, "the 'goose egg.' This term,

time honored, and once commonly em-

ployed, is now no longer heard. Two

other terms, once as familiar, and almost

as commonly used, but now put away on

the same sbe f witn the goose egg, are the

'red-hot grounder' and the 'daisy-cutter.'

"The daisies grow now just as" thoy did

then (for which let us be duly grateful),

but the baseball is a daisy cutter no

longer. Tne balls are heated now as red

hot as ever— if anything,; a little hotter,

but such a ball is no longer described as in

the .phrase once familiar, as a 'red-hot

grounder.' The/extreme warmth of the

sphere is now referred to in some other

manner.' ';:

"The fact is that in baseball, as in all

things else, fashions change, and phrases

that to-day seem to glow with descriptive

fervor may to-morrow seem dull and

spiritless indeed."— New York Sun.
