Furth held his hand to his ear as LABOR N INDIGNANT MOOD The Unions Aroused Over the “Murdered-by-Strikers” Inscription. MASS-MEETING TO BE CALLED. Harry A. Knox Glves His Views of the Action of General Gra- ham. Indignation has grown so strong ameng the members of the American Railway Union and other local Iabor organizations over the manner in which the monument in the Presidio Cemetery to the four sol- diers killed in the train wreck near Sacra- mento last year has been inscribed, that measures are now being taken to hold an indignation meeting. At this meeting resolutions will be adopted condemning the action of General Graham in having ordered the words, ‘‘murdered by strikers” chiseled on the commemorative shaft of stone. Itischarged that this inscription is an accusation of every individual con- nected with the strike in opposition to the railroad corporation. An endeavor may also be made to have the objectionable in- scription erased by a representation of the matter from the strikers’ standpoint to General Graham. Harry A. Knox, who was chairman of the mediation committee at Sacramento during the strike, said yesterday : The first I knew about that monument and its infamous inscription was the publication of the article in THE CALL. General Grahem, I think, was a little premature in his decision asto who murdered his soldiers. He took a responsibility upon himself when on_his own accord he ordered the *‘Murdered by Strikers’ inscription placed upon the monument. T consider General Graham no more capable of arriving at the true state of affairs in regard to the trestle wreck than a jury of twelve men. All the strikers charged with this crime were tried and acquitted by twelve intelligent and impartial men, ept S. B. Worden, who is weak-minded, as was clearly shown by his conduct during his preliminary hearing at Woodiand. His case is now before the Supreme Court, and if they grant him a new trial we have plenty of evidence that will uit him. Tam very well acquainted with the gentie- men mentioned as having been at the head of the movement which resulted in the erection of the monument. Their action all the way through the strike showed that they were not in sympathy with the strikers; in fact, they were looked upon as favoring the railroad, so their action is not & surprise to us. I don’t be- lieve that the fair-minded people of Sacra- mento wonld indorse anything of the kind. The Citizens’ Protective Association is made up of men counected with corporations, as was clearly shown at the Woodland trial by the testimony of its members, and they certainly, therefore, cannot speak for the mass of the people of Sacramento. This is & matter in which Iam sure we have the sympathy and support oi all minded citizens, for General Graham, while above the authority of the local government in most all respects, certainly has no right to set himself entirely above the law. His duty, among other things, is to see that the laws of the country are properly enforced and re- spected, yet he, personally, ignores the lawful verdict of & court of justice and presumes to attach ihe stigma of the foul erime of murder to & body of men who only endeavored by all lawiful means within their power to preserve their rights and the riglits of their co-workers. We do not propose to rest quietly under this insult. A Ccommittee is already at work making ~arrangements for a monster in- dignation meeting at which appropriate reso- lutions will be edopted and further action taken in the matter. We shall try to get General Graham to have this inscription erased, and failing in this the matter will probably be carried to the Secretery of War if we canriot secure redress in any other way. At this mass-meeting there will be an orator representing the A. K. U.who will not only demonstrate the innocence of the strikers so far as the trestle-wreck is concerned but will show who ate the guilty parties. In order to insure a- full attendance at the proposed mass-meeting the committee baving the matter in charge has prepared the copy for a dodger, which is to be dis- tributed by the thousands for a few days receding the meeting. It reads as fol- ows: A public protest against the shameful in- seription, “Murdered by strikers,” placed on the Presidio monument by General W. M.

Ex-Strikers Denounce the Inscription on the Monument, SACRAMENTO, Cavn., Aug. 13.—Con- tributors to the fund for the monument over the grave of soldiers killed in the railroad wreck on the 1ith of last July re- fuse to express themselves in relation to the inscription which General Graham had put upon that monument, an" article re-: garding which appeared in THE CALL this morning. They plainly state that it is a delicate subject, and if they spoke their minds they mxfiht lose by it, as this is a railroad town and the ex-strikers have many sym- pathizers here. One contributor to the fund, who did not want his name men- tioned, sai; “The inscription i3 undoubtedly correct. That the derailment of that train, which resulted in the death of soldiers, was done by strikers is, in my mind, un- questionable, and any man who knows the circumstances must be of my opinion. The inscription says ‘Mur- dered by Strikers.’ This does not mean that all the strikers were murderous, but it does mean that some of the strikers de- railed the train, and those who did mur- dered the solaiers who were on it. Yes, I believe that ‘Murdered by Strikers’ is un- doubtedly a true inscription.”” The fact that this inscription is on the monument does not as yet seem to be gen- erally known among labor leaders in this city, but those who were told of it all said it was just what they expected, and all fell to reviling General Graham, who, they said, had from the beginning made matters out a great deal worse than they were. They take the inscription to be an insult, and deny positively that the work of wrecking the train was done by strikers. Ifitwas done, they say, by some fanatic in their ranks, it was done unknown to 99 per cent of the men out on the strike, and they say that the inscription is a sample of General Graham’s vindictiveness. THE WOMAN'S UNION. A Business Meeting and Social Enter- tainment Last Night. The Woman’s Educational and Indus- trial Union held its regular quarterly business meeting and usual Tuesday night social 1ast night at 103 Van Ness avenue. Mme. Louise Sorbier presided at the business meatiné. Mrs. Richard Chute, Mrs. A. A. Sargent, Mrs. E. P. Keeney, Mrs. H. Cooper and Miss C. Chappelle were elected a commit- tee to nominate officers to be elected on the second Tuesday in November. The treasury showed a cash balance of $265 41, an increase of more than $200 for the year. The several department classes have been largely attended during the quarter, ahov;fng a continued advancement in the WOork. The president called attention to the need for assistance that may be given to old ladies who make applications to do mending and plain sewing. Professor Roeckel conducted the musical social, and was assisted by Mrs. H. Lewis, soplrano, and Miss Elena Roeckel, con- tralto. el g A NEW INSURANOL OOMPANY.

SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY ROAD Contracts for Grading and Lumber Are Awarded — The Sur- veys. At the meeting of the board of directors of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Val- ley Railroad, held yesterday, the contract to Grant Bros. for grading from Stockton to the Stanislaus River was formally awarded. The expenditure for this por- tion of the work will aggregate about $20,000. 5 Colton Bros. were awarded the contract for bridges and trestie work on the second division, which terminates at the Stanis- laus River. In this section there will be between forty ana fifty trestles and bridees. The 8. H. Harmon Lumber Company was awarded the contract for Oregon-pine Jumber to be used in the construction of bridges, one of which will be across the Stanislaus and measure about 500 feet in length. The P. A. Buell Company of Stockton was awarded the contracts for piling and redwood. Chief Engineer Storey was advised yes- terday afternoon that during the da{ a gnrty of surveyors had reached Visalia, aving completed the second line of sur- vey from the northern line of Tulare County. It has not yet been decided which of these lines will be accepted; but the probabilities are that the second one will be, it being the most feasible. THE SILVER CONVENTION Metropolitan Temple the Place in Which It Will Be Held. Governor McConnell of Idaho and a Big Nevada Delegation to Be There. Metropolitan Temple has been selected by the local executive committee of the American Bimetallic League as the scene of the silver convention which is to be held on the 19th inst. A large number of speakers have been invited to be present, and a large delegation is expected from Nevada. Governor W. J. McConnell of Idaho has assured the com- mittee that he will be present if at all pos- sible, and Chairman George W. Baker and Secretary George P. Keeney, of the com- mittee, called upon Senator J. P.Jones at the Palace Hotel yesterday and asked him to occupy the platform. Senator Jones has been under medical care for some time, but if his health will stand.it he will try to be present, even if he be not able to make a speech. Among the Nevadans expected are: Judge C. E. Mack of Virginia City, B. F. Leete of Reno, Attorney-General Robert M. Beatty of Carson City, M. 8. Bonnifield and W. A. Massey. From Utah, Attorney H. F. Bartine of Balt Lake City has prom- ized to attend. Senator White is down on the list of speakers and -seyveral well- known iocal orators have promised to take a vigorous stand in behalf of the white metal. General A. J. Warner of Washington, D. C., writes to_the committee that he has seen Senator W. M. Stewart of Nevada and urged upon him the importance of being iu this City on the 19th. “He could not see Frank G. Newlands because Mr. Newlands was not in Washington at the time. Re- ferring to John P. Young’s article on the silver question, published some time ago, General Warner comments: I have read with very great interest Mr. Young's treatise—for that is what it really is— which appeared in the San Francisco Chron- icle. It is admirably written and most able in its presentation of every phase of the question. Of course it will be printed in book form, and we ought to do all we can to give it wide circu- lation. “The convention is to be strictly non- artisan in character,” said Secretary eeney yesterday, “‘and it would be weil if this is kept continually in mind. All we are anxious for is for Federal legislation favorable to silver coinage, and the senti- ment of the leading men of all the political parties in this State is about the same— they want free and unlimited coinage at a ratio of 16 to 1, regardless of what other nations may desire.” “Free coinage is the only question,’’ re- marked Chairman Baker; ‘‘the only real issue before the American people. We don’t care how it is brought nggm so long as the end we are seeking is attained. The business interests of the country demand it, and that is enough. “Why, at present it pays a capitalist better to keep his iold locked up in the vaults of some bank, because under our resent system it is constantly and rapid]f' increasing in purchasing power, while all other qmperty is going down in value. Naturally, then, money is withdrawn from circulation and remains idle, while all business suffers in consequence.”” The executive committee as it now stands is as follows: George W. Baker %chflh’mln), George P. Kee- ne{v(lecntlr'y), N. W. Spuldin‘s, General Henv 1. Willey, W, C. Price, M. W. Belshaw, G. W. Grayson, J. J. Scrivener, Hon. Charles N.

The outlook for the hop-growers is a poor one this year, for prices are lower than they have been in twenty-five years, and no contracts are being made even at the short prices quoted. The crop will be ready for market in September, but as yet only a few contracts have been made and these coveronly a very small percentage of the yield ex- pected. There was an excellent crop last year, and as prices were not high the deal- ers bought up enough tolast them well into this year. As a consequence there is no demand for hops and prices are falling ngidlf. ‘or last year’s hops from 2 to 5 cents is offered, and for new hops but a cent or so more. Some contracts made during the spring were for 8 and 10 cents, but there are no contracts being made now. The mar- ket in England controls the market here, es_it does all over the world, and until prices are settled in London there will be no demand for hops in the local market. During the past twenty-five vears the price of hops has fluctuated from 10 and 12 cents to $1 10, and back to 10 cents, but during that time new hops were never down to 5 cents, -the quotations for this year. The prices i::ud are all for hops laid down in San ncisco, and ot g: t&is meager price must come the freight riff. A Morgue Mystery. On the 3d inst. the body of an “unknown” was picked up on the beach near Lands End. After remaining at the Morgue for the regula- tion period, the remains were interred at the City’s expense.

We are making just as good picture frames at a moderate price as can be made any- where. We give employment to over 100 sober, industrious hands in the making of frames and mold- ings alone, which shows that the ple are willing to patronize ome industry, providing that home factories give as good an arti- cle at as low a price_as can be ob- tained elsewhere.

Southern Paciflc and Mexican In- ternational Lines Arrange for the Event. The Monterey Mercury, a weekly news- paper published in English in the city of Monterey, Mexico, has made the state- ment that the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight will take place in that city. This news, coming from the scene of the proposed prize-fight, will be received with surprise to the many votaries of pugilism in San Francisco, and notably to those who have in contemplation a journey to the place where the two great fighters are to meet. Two towns in Texas have been offering all manner of inducements to the princi- sals and managers of the contest, but oubts as to what the State of Texas might do have proved difhcult to over- come. Laredo, Texas, has advertised its claims fur and near until everybody inter- ested in the prospective duel for the cham- pronship of America began to betieve that it ould be the town of destiny. Ita: pears, however, that the Southern Pacific and its first cousin, the Mexican Interna- tional Railway, have taken a hand in the matter with the result that Monterey is the final choice, as announced in the fol- lowing article from the Monterey Mer- cury: MONTEREY THE CHOICE.

The Pullman Palace Car Company and the agents of the Mexican International and the Southern Pacific com{mnles are earnestly workiug to this end, and the Pullman Company is mak- ing preparations for bringing to Texas suffi- cient sleeping-cars to accommodate the crowd and help the hotels out, by placing the cars at the disposition of the excursionists during their stay in Monterey. Both Porfirio Dias City and Laredo have been mentioned as likely places, but the facilities afforded by the Monierey Athletic Club completely placed these points in the background, and there are now no doubts as to the ultimate selection of Monterey by the committee of arrangements. Notwithstanding this is & matter prohibited by law, the government of the State cannot be 100 forcibly impressed with the importance of the benefits to be derived from the advent of such a erowd as follow such occurrences. It will advertise Monterey more than any other BaL i ;hing;hnt could g:);’pfle(;l, and bring anywhere omTHE rom' 15,000 o 25,000 visitors from all over the United States, and at least 5000 more from | CONDITION AND AFFAIRS the southern part of Mexico. Say that each of S these expended on an average $10 in gold dur- ing his stay in thiscity, and any one can easily figure out for himself what a benefit Monterey will derive from this gladiatorial contest. Monterey is situated on the Mexican In- ternational Railway, a short distance south of the Rio Grande. It has an American population of nearly 7000,'and is known as the ‘‘Chicago of Mexico,” being a most prosperous manufacturing and mining center, with enough energetic and enter- prising men to make arrangements for the prize-fight a complete success.
