(] THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 15, 1895. OUTLINE A CAMPAIGN, Republicans Meet to Prepare for the Struggle. WORK OF THE LEAGUE. The Executive Committee De- cides Upon a Crusade of Education. TO CAPTURE UTAH. PLANS Will Make a Big Fight for the Two Senators From the Future State. CHICAG members of the executive ¢ the Republican National League, assisted by alternates and proxies, assembled at the Great Northern Hotel this morning, held two sessions and adjourned to October 16, after accomplishing much work of in- | terest to the party throughout the country. Thirt ven States and Territories were represented, es the College League of Republican clubs, and every Republican talked enthusiastically of victory in the State and N nal elections. The presiding officer was General E. A. McAlpin of New York, the president of | the league, who has been busy lately as adjutant-general of the New York National Guard the camp of instruction at| Catskill. He has not been able to do much political work or traveling since the con- vention elected him, but the letters and reports he has received from his associates in the States indicate a bright Republican outlook. He will sail for Europe next Saturday, and on his return on October 5 will buckle on the harness until the next President of the United States has been elected. When it was decided to-day to organize a league in Arizonia General McAlpin con- tributed $500 to help the committeeman from that Territory, George Christ, to carry out the idea of the committee. When the matter of the sinews of war was being discussed the Minnesota representatives contributed $10,000 on behalf of the Repub- licans of that State. The president, secre- tary and treasurer were named as a com- mittee on finance to raise all the money possible to carry on the campaign of edu- cation and organization. There was a strong sentiment at the opening of the meeting in favor of moving | the headquarters from Chicago to New York or Washington, as the league has to | pay for its rooms there and there is an ap- parent indifference as to whether the head- quarters are kept here or not. On behalf of the Republicans of the District of Colum- bia D. A. Ray of Washington offered the | free use of asuite of rooms at Willard’s | Hotel fora year, and the committee was | on the verge of accepting the offer when Congressman H. C. Brewster of New York made a plea for the metropolis. Then Den- | ver and Milwankee made a bid of free rooms, and the Illinois member, Albert Campbell, entered the lists with a raised bid of free quarters and $10,000 bonus jf given thirty days’ time. The upshotof the matter was that the president, secretary and Mr, Campbell were selected to receive the offers formally, and the best one will | be accepted at the October meeting. Ex-Congressman Aaron T. Bliss of Sagi- naw, Mich., was unanimously elected treasurer of the league. Resolutions of esteem and regret wereadopted in memory of the late E. B. Harper of New York, who was treasurer at the time the last conven- tion was held. The salary of the Secretary, M. J. Dowling of Minnesota, was fixed at $3600, beginning August 1. Ex-Presidents Thurston, Clarkson and Tracy and ex-Sec- retary Humphrey were made advisory members of theexecutive committee. As a committee to'report to the October meet- ing on plans of league work during the National campaign Messrs. Goodenow of Minnesota, I’iwers of Michigan, Christ of Arizona and “the president and secretary were selected. There was considerable discussion as to the best method of organizing the league for campaign work. The plan in operation in Iowa was described and the opinion was that it could not be improved upon as far as practical results showed. A call will be issued in a few days from headquarters here to all the league clubs to organize and be ready for instructions from the committee in October. The league will make a big fight in Utah at the approaching statehood election, so as to secure the two Senators for the party. Money, literature and speakers will be sent there in abundance. HIS TRIP NEARLY ENDED, William McDade Reaches New York on His Tour Around the World. , TiL., Aug. 14.—Twenty-two mittee of be in Left San Francisco With a Single Copper and Clad in a Sult of Newspapers. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 14.—William C. McDade, who left a Turkish bath in San Francisco last September without clothing and with a capital of 1 cent, arrived here yesterday on his return in the steamer Mohawk. He is at the Coleman House. He says he has traveled 35,000 miles by land and 10,000 miles by sea, visiting everv known land, and neither begging, borrowing nor stealing a single cent, Mr. McDade identifies himself by means of letters from American Consuls certify~ ing to his visits, his passport and numer- ous newspaper clipringm He and an Eng- lishman namea Rolf left the Turkish bat! together to make a race. They made them- selves a suit of newspapers and were ar- rested by the San Francisco poiice. They were discharged, and their appearance ex- cited such comment that they were show- ered with contributions. ‘They parted company in New Mexico. McDade walked through State and Territory, getting certi- ficates from the Governors as to his pres- ence there. He was dressed in knicker- bockers, a black guernsey and red stock- ings before he had gone through many States, and he carried a small Awerican flag on a staff. McDade reached New Yorklast January, walked to Albany, and upon his return sailed on the Majestic. is passage was paid b{ sporting enthusiasts. He was helped by Americansin England and made his way to the Continent. He visited Rus- sia and Siberia. He was at the battle of Port Arthur, where he sat behind a rock with his American flag above him. He went to Yokohama and from there to Africa. He visited Nice and Monte Carlo and got back to London. He wears a bracelet presented to him by the Princess Beatrice. Mr. McDade has put his flag up over the Coleman House. He has increased his scanty wardrobe and now is the proud pos- sessor of five suifs of clothes, seventeen shirts, nineteen white vests, four hats, three pair of shoes and a gold-headed cane, s UNIQUE METHOD OF A SUICIDE. His Head Held Under Water by a Heary Weight. COLUMBUS, K., Aug. 14.—J. H. Cook, known as “Professor,” living about five miles northwest of here, talked freely to his wife yesterday, telling her how he wanted to be disposed of when he should die, but did not hint that he had any ex- pectation of taking his own lite. When his wife went to call him to his breakfast this morning he was not to be found. A note was found on a table bearing these words: “Look in the water-hole.” Mrs. Cook then went to the place and found him lying with his head under water with a rope tied around his neck and a stone fastened to the other end. The de- ceased was 76 years old, a native of New York State and a man of fine education. He was in early life a minister in the Methodist church, but later renounced his faith in that denomination and became a Universalist. His body was taken to St. Louis this afternoon for cremation, in accordance with his wishes. A S KILLED BY AN EXPLOSION. Three Fatalities Attend the Blowing Up of a Boiler. ARDMORE, L T., Aug. 14.—The boiler of a steam thresher at work near Oakland, 25 miles east of here, exploded yesterday with terrible effect, killing three men and wounding ten others. The dead men are: Lee Norwood, E. P. Norwood and Will Craft. The in&ured: Will Tippett scalded, will die; C.E. Hamm scalded, will die; James Walker scalded, J. B. Walker badly bruised, Claud Howell scalded, T. P. Car- ter cut on head, serious; —— Short, en- giner, sca lded, will die. Three others re- ceived burns and bruises, but will recover, The cause of the disaster is not known, as the engineer is too badly hurt to say anything. RNTS NADE AV ISLAND, Inhabltants Compelled to Fly Before an Army of Hungry Rodents. Many People Bitten and Every Ves~ tige of Vegetation Destroyed by the Invaders. TITUSVILLE, Fra., Aug. 14,—The is- land of Tropic, twenty miles south of here, has been invaded by an army of savage rats, and the inhabitants have been forced to flee for their lives. Tropic is three miles long and two miles wide, and the soil 1s very fertile. A dozen families have settled on the island and en- gaged in growing vegetables for market. George Butler, one of the settlers, has just reached here, and tells a thrilling tale of the invasion and subjugation of Tropic by the rats. Up to a month ago, according te Butler, there were no rats on the island. At that time the advance guard of the rodents ar- rived, and were quickly followed by others, until in two weeks there were fully 10,000 on theisland. The rats “came from the mainland, which is only two miles away, and Butler says that they swam across. He says he has seen them coming out of the water by hundreds. At first the rats contented themselves with attacks on the vegetables, which were soon destroyed. Then they invaded the homes of the settlers. The latter made war on them, killing them by hundreds. Butler says that he has killed as many as a hundred without a stop, but that others would rush forward and attack him, biting him viciously on the legs. In spite of the slaughter the rats got into the houses and attacked the women and children. Several of the latter were badly torn by the sharp fangs of the rodents, One babyv was so severely bitten about the face that its life is despaired of. For three nights not a scul on the island slept, as that would have meant death. At last the people in terror and worn out fled in their boats to the mainland, where they are now encamped in a desti- tute condition. The rats pursued them to the water's edge and the women and chil- dren were repeatedly bitten before the boats could be pushed off. Every vestige of vegetation has been destroyed on the island and it resembles a desert. The rats are described as gray in color and mon- strous in size, being larger than squirrels. Al i WHITECAP LEADEKS CAPTURED. Sheppard and Hinson Placed Behind the Bars. PARIS, Tex., Aug. 14.—Two more im- portant whitecap arrests have been made since last night. Will Sheppard and Rube Hinson, both of whom were- implicated by the confession of Kitchen, as chronicled in the dispatches of last night, are now safely behind the bars. Sheppard was caught while endeavoring to leave the country at arapid pace, He was heavily armed, but was taken by sur- prise. Hinson, the organizer and ringleader of the gang in this county, was also taken in a like manner. Federal authorities to- day decided to take a hand in the situa- tion, and a force of Deputy Marshals will scour the country and run the gang down to a man. Kitchen trembled like 2 leaf when mak- ing his confession when he described the oath administered to members. The pen- alty for divulging any of the secrets of the gang was death. The situation is more peaceful and the negroes are becoming somewhat quieted again. No news from ihe seat of trouble in Delta County was received to-day. b i Betting on Corbett. 8T. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 14.—At the South- ern Hotel to-night, William H., Walker, ex-Mayor of S8an Antonio, Texas, wagered $10,000 to $7000 with T. B. Wilson of San Francisco that Corbett would best Fitzsim- mons in_the comin% fight. Mr. Walker says the fight will be brought off in Dallas, and that Texas money generally favors the champion. Frank Wilson, a tramp painter, stole a ham at Visalia Monday evening and traded if off for lignor, He repeated the trick Tuesday morning and was turned over to an officer. On the way to jail he broke away, but a pistol-shot brought him too. At the examination he was bound over, and in the afternoon was tried in the Superior Court and sentenced to one year in State’s prison. * it A Cow Causes Two Deaths. KANSAB CITY, Mo., Aug. 14.—Martin Bonnell, a 15-year-old boy who ran away from his home at 1638 Broadway, Kansas City, last January, was killed a mile and a half east of Marshall, Mo., last night while stealing a ride out of Slater, Mo., on the Chicago and Alton Railroad. Anunknown man was also_killed, and Frank Johnson of Brooklyn, N. Y., was badly hurt. The three were riding on the pilot of the en- gine, and the engine struck a cow, causing the accident, —_—— > Ex-Senator Maxey Dying. PARIS, TEx., Aug. 14.—A telegram re- ¥ived here to-day stated that ex-United States Senator Sam Bell Maxey was lying at the point of death at Eureka Springs, Ark., whither he had gone to recuperate his wasted energies some weeks ago. The Senator is suffering from a complication of diseases incidental to old age, he bein, over 70, and but little hope is enteruineg for his recovery. He has resided here for thirty-nine years. The sad news has cast a gloom over all Texas, 1 AWAIT A DECISION. Rival Police Boards at Omaha Make Peace Overtures. WILL SETTLE IN COURT. Pending the Outcome the New Commissioners Intend to Reign. SOON TO BE ADJUDICATED. The Supreme Bench WIIl To-Day Declde the Question of an Extra Sesslon. OMAHA, NEBR., Aug. 14.—Chief Justice Norval of the Supreme Court telegraphed to the World-Herald this evening that he had called a meeting of the Supreme Court at Lincoln for to-morrow to consider the matter of an extra session for the consider- ation of the Omaha police trouble. The new Fire and Police Board to-day joined the old board in a telegram to the Supreme Court offering to submit the question at once if a special session can be called now. Meanwhile, however, there will be no delay on the part of the new board in proceeding with the reorganiza- tion of the police force. The new board held a session this evening to perfect the details of the new order of things. A large crowd of sightseers was attracted to the City Hall this morning by the pub- lished statements that the new Board of Fire and Police Commissioners would hold its first regular session. The rooms of the Fire and Police Board on the third floor were occupied by a large squad of police- men, and when a reporter knocked for admittance Detective Hayes opened the door a few inches, set his foot against it and refused admission. Chief White's office was guarded by three policemen, who filled the doorway, and here again admission was refused. At 9:45 a crowd of about 300 which had been gathering from all sources entered the building and ascended to the second floor to the office of the superintendent of the building, which had been set apart for the use of the new board. The crowd was good-natured, consisting mostly of sight- seers, and no friction or disturbance was witnessed, though considerable laughter und sarcastic smiles were indulged in at the presence of the silver-buttoned men guarding the chief’s office. It was nearly 10:30 o’clock before Fire and Police Commissioners Broach, Foster and Vandervoort entered the building. Their appearance was the signal for a general handclapping and a rush for the new Commissioners’ office. The Com- missioners held a short consultation,which ended in the writing of the following letter to the members of the defunct board, in answer to the communication sent to the new board last night, agreeing to the sub- mission of thé contentions to the Supreme Court. To the Hon. George Bemis, Clem Deaver and Charles Broun—GENTLEMEN: The undersigned have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 18th inst. in rela- tion to the matters in dispute as between the old and new Board of Fire and Police Commis- sioners, and will take pleasure in conferring with you at the earliest convenience. Very re- spectfully yours, W. J. BROATCH, A. C. FOSTER, PAUL VANDERVOORT. The letter was sent to the Mayor’s office to the old board, and a letter was shortly received in reply, agreeing to a conference to be held at the Mayor’s office forthwith. Upon receipt of the letter the new board, accompanied by Attorney Hall, immedi- ately adjourned to the Mayor's office to enterinto consultation. Secretary Vandevoort said before retiring that the members of the new board bad been waiting for the old board to express an intention to accept a proposition for an immediate submission of the rights of the two boards to the Supreme Court, so that the legality of one board could be finally established by that tribunal. After being in conference for there-quarters of an hour the meeting of the two boards adjourned, having agreed upon sending telegrams to Governor Holcomb, Attorney - General Churchill and the members of the Supreme Court. Thetelegram sent to the Governor and Attorney-General is as follows: To Hon. Silas A. Holcomb, Governor, and Hon. A. 8. Churchill, Attorney-General, Lincoln, Nebr.: If the Supreme Court will meet atan early date all the membegs of the two boards of Fire and Police Commissioners will unite in a re- quest for an early hearing. Can you get the court to fix a short date? Answer. GEORGE P. BEMIS, W. J. BRoATCH. The following telegram was sent to Judge T. L. Norval at Seward, Judge T. C. O. Harrison at Grand Island and Judge A. M. Post at Columbus, they comprising the Judges of the Supreme Court : All parties agree to submit police matters to the Bupreme Court if early hearing can be had. GEORGE P. BEMIS, ‘W. J. BRoATCH, Should the court at its meeting to-mor- row decide on an early session it will be a matter of only a few days before a final detision is had and the question of the validity of the new board settled. The members of the new board will maintain their position that they are the legally elected board during the pendency of the legal controversy. They are in session this evening to arrange the necessary de- tails preliminary to taking an active part in the government of the departments of Fire and Police, READY TO SEND AID. Kansas City A. P. A. Men Wrought Up by the Controversy. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 14.—Several thousand A. P. A. members in this city are watching the controversy in Omaha with great interest, and thredtening if armed force is needed to go to Omaba in a body. At a meeting of the advisory board, com- posed of two members of each of the twenty-two councils in Jackson County, last night, resolutions were offered declar- ing that the A, P. A. members in Kansas City are in hearty sympathy with “the friends” in Omaha and are ready to help them at any time should help be called for. A telegram was sent the Omaha Police Commissioners offering 5000 men, ik Cutnatinn S sy WILL WED A COUNT. \ Miss Millard Announces Her Engage- ment to De Brabant.

Mushroom Municipalities With a Startling Bonded Indebtedness. WICHITA, Kaxs., Aug. 14.—~The bonded indebtedness of several Western Kansas towns of mushroom growth is so largely in excess of their present valuation that the obligations are scarcely werth the paper upon which they are written. This is notably true of Greensburg, in Western Kansas, which in 1885 boasted a population of nearly 3000 and now has less than 125 inhabitants. J. M. Davis of Greensburg, an ex-Repre- sentative, is authority for the statement that the bonded iudebtedness of this town aggregates $45.000, while there is not a cent in the treasury available for its payment, nor any property of value on which the holders of the bonds may levy. Durin, the Greensburg boom bonds were issu for public improvements on an extrava- gant scale. Subsequently there was a con- tinued exodus on accountof high taxes and unfavorable conditions, until the city of five years ago is buta memory. The county has sold everything for defaulted taxes, and buildings have been torn down or moved away, leaving the bondholders entirely out of the deal. —_———— Assassinated on the Highway. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 14.—A special to the Chronicle from Champelan, Mexico, says that Thomas B. White, an American civil engineer, was assassinated near there iesterday while passing along a traveled ighway. A shot was fired from ambush by &n unknown person. It is not known that the murdered man had any enemies in this section. DEPART FROM FODCHOW. Start of the Investigating Commission Sent to Kucheng. * The Action of the American Repre-~ sentatives Not Binding on This Government. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 14—A cablegram received at the State Depart- ment to-day from J. Courtney Hixon, United States Consul at Foochow, re- ports the departure from that place of the mixed British and American commission to investigate the Kucheng massacre. Mr. Hixon 1s a member of the commission and is accompanied by Ensign Waldo Evans of the Detroit as the other American representative. The recognition of the joint commission as an official body whose conclusions shall be binding has not been accorded by the United States. Such authority could not be given by Minister Denby, but by the Secretary ot State or the President. Itis said at the State Department that Mr. Denby has the entire matter in charge, and made all arrangements respecting the commission without explicit directions from acting Secretary McAdee as to how far the commissioners will act conjointly. The State Department has no knowledge, and will leave it to the discretion of the American representatives whether they will join with the British officials in mak- ing the same report to both governments. As the conclusions reached, and the recom- mendations by the commission will not be binding by this Government, it is not a matter of concern whether the commis- sioners agree or not. Whatever they re- port, whether jointly or separately, will not interfere with negotiations between Great Britain and the United States as to what course shall be pursued if both na tions think it desirable to make a joint protest or demand. As matters stand at resent, the Washington Government is ree to it as it pleases; to proceed sepa- rately in relation to its overtures to the Chinese Government or to act in concert with Great Britain in the premises, Consul Reed at Tientsin cabled the State Department to-day that there was cholera at Tientsin and Chefoo. This information may have a benrin%an the Chinese trouble, because the United States flagshin Balti- more has gone to Chefoo in order that Admiral Carpenter may be in close tele- raphic communication with Minister. Denby. The Navy Department is exceed- ingly careful about allowing any naval ves- sel to remain at an unhealthy port, and the Baltimore and the gunboat Machias, which is also at Chefoo, may be compelled to go elsewhere. el 6 OF INTEREST TO THE COAST.

Had Not Recovered From the Injury Received at Cleve- land. GEERS' MASTERLY DRIVING. Sent the Black Stalllon Athance to the Front In the 2:20 Trot. BUFFALO, N. Y., Aug. 14.—This was ladies’ day at the grand circuit races, so Mr, Hamlin filled his grand stand if he did not fill his cash box. The advertised event, which attracted all attention, was the match race between Agote and Fan- tasy. Most horsemen expected that Mr. Hamlin would not let Fantasy race on ac- count of her bad foot, due to the accident at Cleveland. When she did come on the track the odds were all against her. Geers drove Fantasy and McDowell drove Azote. The track was in superb condition. The start was bad, Fantasy lagging half a length behind Azote. Geers let the mare out and at the quarter she was head and head with Azote, but in the nextquarter of a mile she dropped back again, content to stick at Azote’s flank. McDowell was+ driving in exhibition style. Geers drove Fantasy out again, ana put her beside Azote at the three-quarter pole, but when Azote began moving in the stretch the mare could not keep the pace and finished two lengths behind Azote, whose time was 2:09%. The second heat was trotted in much the same way. To please the grand stand McDowell held Azote and let Fantasy trot begide her. When he came into the stretch he swung wide out into the track giving Fantasy the pole and drove home a length and a half ahead in 2:12}4. El Rami took three straight heats in the 2:28 class trot, with Valley Queen finish- ing second each time. éeers did some masterly driving in the 2120 trot, winning the $5000 purse for the Village farm with the black stallion Athance. Athance was the favorite at even money. Miss McGregor had the gole in the first heat and carried the bunch to the half in 1:07}4. Here Geers brought Atharice to the front and at the stretch he was in front, with Lady Wilton and Miss McGregor next. The race to the wire was exciting, Athance taking the heat from Lady Wilton by a head. Miss McGregor tinished third. : Lady Wilton pushed Athance hard in the second heat, but failed by half a Jength, and the Hamlin colt got the third aent in an exciting race with Miss Mc- regor. Of the twelve entries in the 2:35 trot all were drawn but four, of which Tommy Britton was easily the best. On Friday Corbett will box four rounds with his sparring partner on the track, and on Saturday Bob Fitzsimmons will box and punch the bag. Azote will be taken to Chicago to race Beusetta if arrangements can be made. 2:28 class, trotting; purse $2000. El Rami, ch. g., by Wildnut-Nellle Benton (Sargent).

The writ was issued by Judge Gibbons of the Circuit Court on- information furnished by the Civic Federation, and is returnable in the morning.

NAPA, Car.,, Aug. 14.—The third day’s racing drew the largest crowd of the sea- son to the park. The reason of this was probably because the bicycle racing was placed on the programme in conjunction with the usual horse racing events. A few accidents added to close and ex- citing races made the day full of interest to the many spectators. During the after- noon W. Simpson, while exercising Miss Jessie, was thrown from his sulky by the sudden snying of the animal. The sulky was smashed, but the horse and driver escaped injury. In the first bicycle event Ed Manasse rode over a fallen rider, exploding his tire and making it impossible for him to finish. In the 2:24 trot Ethel Brown won after Lady A bad got two-heats, Los Angeles third. Charivari and Bishop Hero also started. Time—2:18, 2:21, 2:21}, 2:18)4, time limit Time, The 2:27 three-vear-old trot was a hard- fought battle, Zembro winning the last ti.ree heats, Stam B second, Stamboulette third and Dr. Poff fourth. Silver King, Stella, Sidney, Howard, Carrie C, Our Beth, Auditor and Lottie also started. Time—2:1914, 2:16, 2:16%, 2:15:3, 2:15%. There was great excitement in the second heat when Stam B made a mile in 2:36, which was the fastest mile ever trotted by a three-year-old on the coast; but the ex- citement grew when Zembro went the next three heats under the record. It was the prettiest race ever witnessed in Napa. The half a mile bicycle handicap race was won by O. F. Alstrom of St. Helena, 50 yards; Newton Ackerman of Petaluma, second, 50 yards; Ed Chapman, Napa, third, scratch. Time, 1:10}5.
