The | purchase of silver to be stored in the | treasury and the enactment of unjust| tariff laws, to enrich a few favorites by the oppression of millions of consumers, were the main causes of the paralysis of our markets. That paralysis with an empty treasury were the legacies received from a Republican administration. The battle against a system fostered in violation of seli-evident laws of political economy has been won. Everv struggle against en- treached wrong is attended by privation and suffering, but these are never endured in vain. The lesson of cause and effect has | been thoroughly learned and we are willing to abide by the decision of an in- telligent people whoare now entering upon a period of prosperity that will prove both | substantial and enduring.” | Denials of the charges made by Repub- licans of extravagance form a large portion of the document. 3 constitutional amend- ment rendering impossible any form of gambling, particularly betting on horse- racing, is favored, and ‘the Republican party is charged with deceit and trickery in dealing with these questions.

C., Sept. 26.—All the heavy exvenditures of the treasury for this month have now been paid and to- | day, for the first time, the figures show a slight excess of receipts for the month. The excess is only $112,744, but it is said that by October 1 the excess will reach $2,500,000 and the deficit for the present fiscal vear, which is now $13,000,000, will be reduced to §10,500,000. The receipts, however, are running below those of last month, principally in internal revenue. As October is an_interest-paying month it is anticipated that the expenditures for that month will exceed the receipts by from $%,000,000 to $9.000,000. The annual interest charge, at the present rate of receipts, is over 10 per cent of the revenues of the Government. IMPEISONED IN CUBA. Two Americans Demand Heavy Damages From Spain. WASHINGTON, D. C., Bept. 26.—A $20,000 claim for damages against Spain was filed with the State Department this morning in behalf of Gustav Richilien, an American citizen. Richilieu and August Bolton, both of this country, were engaged in turtle fishing and left Port-au-Prince, Hayti, February 8 last for Cape Haytien with papers in regular form. Bad weather drove them to the Cuban coast, and they finally put into the port of Santiago de Cuba® February 23. Here they were ar- rested and thrown into prison for fifty-two days and kept there without trial, charged with having brought one of the Maceo g the out- | { | & lie. | growth of food crops. | same territorial lines are still in existen ce brothers to Cuba. The men appealed to Consul Hyatt, who, after many protests, finally secured their liberation April 25. Both men deny havin n_nvthmgh to do with the insurgents, and said they brought 1o one to the island and would not have known Maceo had they seen him. Their papers showed the{ were in legitimate trade, but despite all these representations their vessel, a small sloop, was confiscated, and they were only ensbled to reach the United States through the aid of the United States Consul. ———— OF INTEREST 70 THE COAST.

My, Newlands Says He Is ¥et a Friend of Silver. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 26.—Fran- cis G. Newlands returned from New York this morning, where he has been for some time looking after financial and political matters. Concerning the silver statement sent out over the country and attributed to him in an interview, he abserved: “It is I never said any part of it, and I would thank Tue CaLL to allow me to make this statement. Some one patched up this statement that I was weakening in my fight for silver, and that I had come to look upon the cause as lost, and all that sort of thing. It is not strange that such a lie should be concocted in ew York, where they are very much afraid of the re- sult in the pending contest. Just say for me that I say it’s all a lie. That covers it entirely.’ FROM SHMOM ISLANDS The Present Political Situation in the Group Reported to . Be Quiet. Tamasese Visited British Consul Woodford to Arrange a Meet- ing of Chiefs. APIA, Sawoa, Sept. 11.—Politically everything here is quiet, nothing having | happened during the past four weeks of a nature to create any disquietude. Each belligerent party is apparently devoting its individual and collective energies to the 1tis true that the dividing the Malietoa and Tumua inter- ests, over which neither party care to step; but in other respects the aspect of affairs is peaceful, and, to an uninitiated ob- server, free from the slizhtest friction. Of course old residents are not deceived and recognize that until the natives as a whole contribute to the revenues at Mulimuo it cannot be truly said the country is in a healthy condition. Although not bellicose, yet the Tumua people have not been guite idle in their relations with the Government party. Tamasese, the real but unassuming head of the Tumua, has paid Apia a visit. On the 27th ult. he arrived at 2 o'clock in the morning, turned out Consul Wood- ford from his mosquito screen and calmly requested his good offices in arranging a meeting with the King. The British Con- sul was not taken greatly by surprise, as for some time past he bad oeen aware of Tamasese’s desire foran interview. Hence, he met that chief cordially enough, pro- vided him with a shake-down and eventu- ally gave bim sorne breakfast. Mr. Wood- ford then interviewed Consuls Smith-Leda and Mulligan and King Malietoa Laupepa, and a meeting between the two chiefs was arranged at the Imperial German Con- sulate to eventuate without any loss of time. In this act Consul Mulligan took no part for reasons best known to himself. The King and his political opponent met in due course in the presence of the Ger- man and British Consuls; and, to all ap- pearances, met cordially. From all that can be heard no recriminations passed between them. Tamasese expressed a de- sire for general peace, and nis Majesty re- sponded in a similar spirit; a letter was written to the chief of Aana—from which district Tamasese had come—and signed by the two Consuls. The contents of this letter are not actually known, butitis understood that its object was to arrange for a general dgathering of chiefs for one day at the end of the current month, the business being ‘‘the present political it~ uation.” Tamasese took his departure later on in the day under the safegnard of the King’s honor, and nothing of consequence has been heard of him since. A large and strong wall is being built by the Government people from the sea beach inland about four miles to windward. The natives call it a pig fence, but it is known that it is to be enfiladed for rifles. Natives are quietly endeavoring to pur- chase more rifies. What this means no one is able to say. The treasury deficit of $502 has been, during the past month, the principal tovic of conversation in all circles. The report of the inyestigation committee has been at last received and accepted by the Munici- pal Council. The report on the whole is unsatisfactory, inasmuch as the committee cannot take upon themselves to determine to what realms the missing coin has been wafted. They, however, would appear to have exhausted all available sources of in- formation, and are convinced that the de- ficit in reality exists. British Acting Consul C. M. Woodford left Apia for Fiji on the 11th instant, on the return of W. T. B. Cusack-Smith from furlough on the 5th. The departure of Mr. Woodford, who has made hims®lf very popular among all nationalities by his excellent qualities of heart and brain, was regretted by all. H. M. 8. Bussard left for Sydney on the 6th, having been relieved by the Falke, It is understood that the Bussard will re- turn in November or December. _ The new Protestant church was formally dedicated on the 1st instant, and is a structure that improves not a little our beach frontage. .There is a burden of debt on it, however, that will take years of service contributions, concerts, etc., to liguidate. — San Luis Obispo Bonded. SAN LUIS OBISPO, Car., Sept. 26.— This city held an election to-day, and voted to bond the city for $90,000 for a com- plete system of water works, and $45,000 for sewer improvements. RACES AT SAN JOSE. Big Crowds,Fine Weath- er and a Record Broken. WALDO J'S FAST MILE. A New Mark Set for the Agri- cultural Track and the State. DR. PUFFS LIVELY WORK. Prince Almont Overhauled Wood and Beat Him Out by a Head. SAN JOSE, CAL., Sept. 26.—The attend- ance at the races keeps increasing each day, and yesterday’s crowd was the best of the week. The races were all that could be desired, and everybody went away satistied, g The feature of the day was the time made in the first heat of the free-for-all pace. As predicted, a record was broken, Waldo J pacing the mile in 2:09. This is the Agricultural Park track record, and also the fastest mile paced or trotted in California this year. Edna R won the unfinished pace by taking two straight heats, which, in addition to the heat won Wednesday, gave her the race. Favorites carried off the regular events. Jasper Ayers won the 2:27 class trot for three-year-olds, although Dr. Puff pressed him hard and managed to take two heats. Waldo J won the free-for-all pace in three straight heats. Native State was con- | sidered a sure thing for the 2:30 class trot, and he proved bimself worthy of the con- fidence of hisbackers. He got right down to work at the start, and three heats de- cided the race in his favor. The 2:27-class trot for three-year-olds brought out three horses—Dr. Puff, Jasper Ayers and Juana Treat. Ayers was in- stalled favorite. Dr. Puff took the lead around the turn and was never headed. Jasper Ayers made a spurt in the stretch, but was beaten outa head. Juan Treat was distanced. Ayers still sold favorite at $10, Puff being quoted at $5. Dr. Puff led to the half. but Ayers caught him at the three-quarters and beat him to the wire by half a length. Time, 2:21. In the third heat, contrary to expecta- tions, Dr. Puff took the lead from the start, and won all the way around, beating Jasper Ayers out in a close finish. Dr. Puff’s time was 2:17. Ayers brought $20 before the fourth heat, Puff selling at $10. In this heat Dr. Puff led to the half. The contestants were neck and neck entering the stretch, but Ay finished a strong wimnner in 2:17. No money was placed before the final heat, it being the general opinion that Dr. Puff bad raced himself out. This proved to be the case. Ayers jogged in an easy winner of the heat and race. s The free-for-all pacing had three contest- | ants, Waldo J, W. Wood and Prince Al- mont. A few pools were sold, Waldo J bringing §20 to §6 for the field. Wood led at the quarter, Prince Almont second and Waldo J third. At the half WaldoJ had moved up a mnotch and Prince Al- mont was third. Into the stretch Wood still led, but Waldo J was at his heels. In a driving finish W. Wood was befted, W al- do J winning in 2:09, the fastest time ever made on this track. It is also the Califor- nia pacing record for the vear. The announcement that Waldo J had beaten the track record brought out a lib- eral round of appiause. There was no bet- ting on the next two heats. In the second heat Waldo J won all the way, finishing pulled up in 2:14}. Prince Almont was second, W. Wood last. The third heat was a Tepetition of the previous one, but was interesting on account of the bitterly fought contest down the stretch between Prince Almont and W. Wood for second money. Prince Almont overhanled Wood near the wire and beat him outa head. There were seven starters in the 2:30 class trot. Pacing race, 2:18 classj purse 8500. Heats, best three in five. Edna R, b. m.

The principal business transacted was the appointment of a circuit commuttee of three with instruc- tious to decide on a city in place of Terre Haute, which the representatives of the clubs present did not think a large enough city te hold the franchise of the old Toledo club longer.. President B. B. Johnson denies that any ether club will be dropped, and says Grand Rapids is a big enough town to hold its own with the rest. Not- withstanding these assertions, there is considerable talk to-night that Omaha will be chosen instead. The committee will report to the full meeting to-morrow at 10 o'clock, and it is fairly certain that its recommendation will be accepted. The pennant was formally awardéd to Indianapolis. SILVER VOICE FROM RENO Senator Jones Says He Will Not Return to His Party. He Declares Himself for Free Coln- age First, Last and All the Time. RENO, Nev., Sept. 26.—Senator J. P. Jones said to a CaLL reporter to-day: “The statement sent out from the East that I have gore back to the Republican Senator John P. Jones. (45 he appeared to Nankivell) party is ridiculous. I do not hope for free coinage from any other than a third party, We bave tried the Republican and Demo- cratic parties and failed to get what we want. “The situation is such that a positive declaration is essential, and you can state that I am with the party that will give us free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1, and that I never for a moment have left the silver party nor departed from my long-standing belief regarding bimetallism. “It is a misstatement and a political falsehood. I am a silver man first, last and all the {ime, and always will be.”’ gk v e SUICIDE AT CHICO. Andrew Smith, Tired of Life, Himaelf in the Head. CHICO, Cawn., Sept. 26.—Andrew M. Smith, a native of Ohio, aged 67, ended his life last evening at 6 o’clock by shoot- ing himself in the head with a Colts revolver. His wife died in April and he has not been himself for some time. He left a note saying that he was tired of living and wished to die. He leaves a stepdaughter and relatives in the East. There was no one at home at_the time the body was found. The suicide was an old resident of Chico and worked at carpentering. He has been gemng aid from the county, $15a month, ut the Board of Supervisors cut him down to $7. ‘When the family left for work yesterday morning he seemed in good spirits. About noon a pistol-shot was heard, but no attention was paid to it until he was found in the evening. He placed the pistol at his head above his nose and blew the entire forehead off. ———— SAN DIEGO LEMONS. They Are Selling in Kansas City at a Fery Good Price.

NEARLY NINE MINUTES. That Was the Time the Eng- lish Boat Gained While the . Contest Lasted. AMERICAN BOAT WITHDREW Owner Field, Who Acted as the Crew, Caused a Mutiny on His " Trim Little Craft. CENTER ISLAND, L. I, Sept. 26.—The third race in the Seawanhaka Club’s in- ternational challenge for small boats, sailed to-day, resulted in a handsome victory for the Spruce 1V, the challenger. Owner C. J. Field withdrew the Ethelwynn, the American defender, at the end of six miles, half the distance. As far as the contest was competitive, the English haif-rater was a winner by nearly nine minutes, being handsomely sailed in a wind that made yachts like the forty-foot Norota put a double reef in her mainsail in order to travel comfortably while viewing the work of the tiny tighters which were tossed like cockle shells in the rollers kicked up by the strong southwest- erly breeze. The wina during the first half of the course, which was to leeward and then to windward, three miles each leg, twice around, was of 12 and 15 knots’ veloeity. On reaching Center Island buoy, 8 min. and 58 sec. after the Spruce IV started on the second run to leeward, the Ethelwynn was sailed up to the committee-boat and Mr. Field declared his withdrawal against the protest of his skipper, Captain Bell, and the advice of the Ethelwynn’s de- signer, W. P. Stephens, who was acting as the American representative on the Oneida. Mr. Field, when asked by the United Press representative the reason for his withdrawal, said: “It is no fit place out here for small boats like these, and I don’t propose to risk my precious life for any cup that might thus be won. I wish to say, also, that I pull out against the wish and ad- vice of my sailmaker, Mr. Ball, and this should be said plainly that he may be placed right in the matter.”’ Later it appeared that from the time the outer mark was turned there was mutiny on the Ethelwynn. Captain Ball ex- plained the facts as follows: “My crew, composed of Mr. Field, who is also the Ethelwynn’s owner, was prac- tically in a state of funk as soon as we be- gan the windward work. Of course [ swore at him in true shipmaster fashion, but when in his dual character of ship- owner and crew he persisted in throwing the boat into the wind by letting fly the jibsheet at each heavy puff, thas rendering the rudder useless, the skipper was power- less to keep the boat in her course. Under this condition of things, with a crew that was not even tractable as ballast, the only thing left was withdrawal.” Captain Ball, before the series began, de- sired his brother for crew, and Owner Field has now acceded to his wish. The new hand will report for duty to-morrow, and the well-wishers of the little defender hope that under the new conditions she will be better able to show the qualities that are believed to exist in the Ethelwynn. Mean- while Mr. Field will enjoy the greater comfort he seeks by viewing the races from the committee boat. On the part of the challenger, it must be said that, prior to the preliminary signal, Mr. Brand told Mr. Field that he would prefer to postpone the race until to-morrow. To this Mr. Field, realizing that the series were long drawn out, said: “Let us sall inside to- day.” Mr. Brand declined this, and the first whistle having blown both went alongside the committee steamer and made known their preferences. On behalf of Mr. Brand the issue was finally left with Mr. Sturdee, his representative, while Mr. Field left it to Mr. Stephens. Meanwhile, the ten- minute interval having expired, the time- keeper ordered the preparatory signal at 12:25, and Mr. Sturdee said, “We'll race,” and Mr. Stephens acquiesced. Both boats were then ahead of the com- mittee steamer and Mr. Brand's sailor lad hoisted the Spruce IV’s jib. Neither had headway, and as the Spruce forged ahead and fell off under the influence of the hold- sail the Ethelwynn, having only the main- sail set, did not respond when Captain Ball put the helm hard to weather, and as a result the bow of the American hit the Minima boat under her counter and threw her into the wind, neither having any ap- preciable headway on. The remainder of this latest international complication came when in crossing the line the Spruce IV’s owner waved a protest flag, which was promptly responded to by the answering pennant on the Oneida. After the race was ended Mr. Brand, in answer to a query of the United Press rep- resentative, said that the protest signal was hoisted as 8 matter of precaution. The interference during the maneuvering described he admitted was unavoidable, and the withdrawal of his competitor ended the matter. The details of the race as long as com- petitive follow: Commodore Benedict’s Oneida with the Tegatta committee on board gave the start- ing signal at 12:30 (noon), hefore the con- testants had hardly gotten straightened out after the tangle, which caused the vis- itor to go through the form of a protest, and it was 12:31 when the Ethelwynn crossed the line for the run toleeward, and 12:31:20 when Spruce IV passed over. Then for the first time in any of the races Mr. Brand’s Ivanhoe sailor lad Wade had good luck in spreading the spinnaker to Sudden Changes From cold to heat and from heat to cold, are experienced at this season. They threaten danger to the system and are frequently the cause of colds, coughs, pneumonia, rheumatism and catarrh. Now is the time when the blood must be kept pure and rich and the body as strong and vigorous as possible. Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is the One True Blood Purifier, Therefore it is the best Fall Medicine. Hood’s Pills {5 "o sheper e starboard, and it wasdrawing handsomely, being boomed so far forward as to look like & balloon jib from the distance. The Ethelwynn, though at this time to the windward and ahead, did not get her spinnaker out for fully five minutes, but after getting it up in stops it was broken out at 12:36:10. This had given the Spruce a chance to get under great headway, and the Briton soon passed his competitor to weather and went ahead. There was but eight seconds’ difference (official time) between the two tiny flyers in rounding the first mark and-hauling on the wind for the three-mile beat to the second mark (starting line). Soon after getting around Skipper Ball on the Kthel- wynn decided that more sail was needed, and, heading her up into the wind he ordered the crew (Owner Field) to shake out a reef. This done, and before she could gather headway under the steadying aid of more canvas, there came a knock- down puff that sent several buckets of water into her cockpit. Mayhap this was where the crew lost heart, and, with faint- hearted crew, no skipper can do justice to his boat. However, during this time the Minima half-rater had made several tacks, and finally started on a long port board to westward while shaking out her sail, and s0 Captain Ball bad the starboard leg well in shore. Finally he went to port and laid a course that carried him clear to the finish line without a tack. The Spruce weathered the Center Ysland spar at 2:03 o’clock, and was along way on her second run before the wind when the Ethelwynn passed the spar and went to the committee boat, her finish of the six miles being noted by the official time- keeper at 2:11:58. The Spruce reached the outer mark, or third stake, nine miles, at 2:34:01, and ciosed the beat to time at 3:27:27, having covered the twelve miles in two hours fifty-seven minutes twenty-seven seconds. To-morrow’s race will be triangular, and if the Spruce wins the cup goes to England. e S WILL WINTER ON THIS SIDE. Valkyrie I1I Will Not Be Returned to Secotland Just Yet. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 26.—When Valkyrie III had her compasses adjusted for the return trip across the ocean, and her ketch rig was completed, it seemed to be only a question of a few days before she would bid farewell to American watersand return to Scotland. When it was learned to-day that the late cup challenger would remain in winter guarters on this side of the ‘“herring pond,” the announcement caused a flutter of surprise among the yachting fraternity. All the positive in- formation that could be obtained to-day was that the yacht would remain here for the winter. On board the Valkyrie, neither Captain Cranfield nor Captain Sycamore would say what would be the arrangements next season, if thev were aware of any. Beyond the fact thai the English yacht would remain here, nothing was known at the New York Yacht Club as to any arrangements between Lord Dunraven and the syndicate which owns Defender as to future races, but there, as well as else- where, the surmises were that the races would take place, and a pleasurable antici- pation that such might be the case was expressed. THE HYA T SAN DIEGO. En Route From Esquimalt to Callao She Stops for Wate: SAN DIEGO, CaL., Sept. 26.—H. B. M. steamer Hyacirth, Capiain May, arrived this morning en route from Esquimalt to Callao. She came into this port for water and will remain until Saturday, when she will sail for Acapulco. There she will re- coal. H. B. M. steamer Satellite is at Callao, and it is probable the Hyacinth will re- lieve her from duty in Chilean waters, though Captain May said so far as he | knew the cruise of the Hyacinth had no | special object. _The steamer has been on the North Pa- cific station about threé¢ years, the limit fixed by the admiralty, and she may pro- ceed to England after leaving Callao, to go out of commission. The Satellite, if re- lieved, will return up cogst to Esquimalt. o DROWNED IN HIS BATH. A Nevada Man Dies While in a Fit at San Diego.
