THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1895. MAY GET THE CONVENTION —_—— San Francisco” Is Spoken Of .by Many Eastern Re- publicans. MEN IN MAINE WANT IT HERE. Senator John M. Thurston of Ne- braska Reviews the Govern- ment and Its Pollcy- “The location of the next Republican National Convention lies between ‘three cities—San Francisco, Pittsburg and Chi- £8g0,” said National Committeeman John M. Thurston pf Nebraska last night, in his rooms at the Palace Hotel. Senator Thurston is at present on the coast in the interest of the Union Pacific Railroad, relating to the receivership on ‘two appeals from orders made from the State of Oregon. The question involved is whether the old set of receivers or the new shall pay certain bills of long standing representing the sum of hall a million doliars. ton represents the receiv- y appointed for the system. The second set of receivers were appointed | and the other was the handling of stone from the Folsom quarry. At the present and for some time past the granite-cutters have been receiving $4 | a day for their work, and these wages have | peen paid to rapid and slow workers alike. | The contemplated change is from wages to | piece work at o much per foot. The rea- | son for the proposed change is that every | man shall be paid according to his ability. | A long discussion was held relative to | the rate to be charged, the desi.e of the union being to establish such a rate that it will not make any difference to the con- tractors. No decision was arrived at. The other matter is of greater impor- tance to union granite-cutters, contractors, builders and quarry-owners. Several years ago there was a united protest of all union men against handling rock quarried by the convicts at the Folsom State prison, and | they won the fight. Since then no granite | bas been handled by the union cutters ex- cept that which came from ‘*free” quar- ries. The propesed erection of the Affiliated Colleges and thej gift of Folsom quarry stone for its construction has started the old question in motion again, but the granite-cutters are taking a very different view of the question®than they did before. | A prominent union cutter summed up the ! situation last evening in this way: ‘We have dbout arrived at the conclusion that we have been cutting our noses off to spite the Test of our faces, and_the quarry-owners Lave been sharpening the knife for us to do the job with. We have refused to handle or work granite from the Folsom quarry on the prin- | ciple that the convicts were doing work that should be done by free men, and the quarry- men spurred us on in this live. Now the fact is tuis, that when the proposi- tion was made to build the Affiliated 85 eges with Folsom stone the four principal quarry- owners began to lay their plans to prevent this being done. We are satisfied that they will go 50 far as to use their efforts to have the college SENATOR JOHN M. % g P [From a.p THURSTON CUF NEBRASEA. seven months later for the Oregon Rail- way and Navigation Company,a portion of the property of the Union Pacific. The cases have been set for Wednesday and Thursday, and will be argued before the Court of Appeals for final settlement. Mr. Thurston was inclined to be com- municative on matters pertaining to poli tics, and stated that Joe Manley, one o the National Committeemen from Maine, had expressed the wish to him that San Francisco might be the next convention place of the Republican party, and that many other members of the Eastern States had expressed the same desire. ““As for myself,” continued the Senator, “I have not made up my mind. It issure to go to either Chicago, Pittsburg or San Francisco, and any one of the three places | named would suit me. ““What do I think of the probable nomi- nee of the party? Well, my State is rather inclined toward McKinley, but 1 hear Allison or Reed of Maine frequently referred to as available and safe for th arty. Harrison, did you say? Never. e is entirely out of the question. I be- lieve there/was an attempt to work him into the fight, but it has about given out. Don’t you recall that old line, ‘Thou dost protest too much.” That applies to Harri- son. He will never do.” ill the Republican party give the | West a free-coinage plank?"” *‘Yes, I think so. One similar to the | plank of the last campaign; but 1 do not | think the Republicans or the Democrats | either will ever declare for the free and un- | limited coinage of silver without regard | to auy other country. Ithink the money | question will have to be settled in such way that there will never be any great | disturbance in money values. I have | always thought that way and cannot see | it in any other light. 8o far as the politi- ituation is concerned as a whole it is a little y to make any definite state- ments, as they would be somewhat in the nature of conjecture.”’ “W hat is your opinion in_regard to the snnexation of the Hawaiian Islands?’ was asked the Senator. “I am heartily in favor of it. My prime reason is because the group presents so many advantages as a_protection to the western borders of the United States. It would be found available imw case of war, and would be a decided stronghold for the Government to possess absolutely. I be- iieve 1t is the first duty of the United States to so adjust things that the country will always be protected. Our navy shoula be brought up to the highest possible .«mndanfi Let it be as good as if not better than any other in the world. The result of that would be to make trouble less pos- sible. No country cares to go_into battle with a powerful nation, and it is generally | the weaker countries that suffer the dis- tress of war. The better we are protected, the less will be our annoyances at the hands of foreign elements. “Another thing that ought to be recti- fied is our foreign policy. America does not take sufficient care of her Consuls ebroad, and we do not keep up the appear- ance that & country of thissize should cul- tivate. England, France, Germany and other nations treat their representatives in a way thatat once creates and demands re- spect, but America is a little lax about it.” Mr. Thurston was temporary chairman of -the convention in 1 over which M. M. Estee of this City presided as perma- nent chairman. That was the convention that nominated Benjamin Harrison. 3 Senator Thurston will remamn in Cali- fornia about one week longer and will then return to Nebraska. He was elected to the Senate from his State in March, but will not begin to attend to his official duties in Washington until the December session.” He is accompanied by his wife. GRANITE-CUTTERS AWAKE. They Say They Have Been Imposed Upon by the Quarry- - men, A special meeting of the Granite-cutters’ Union was held last evening for the con- sideration of two very important matters. One was the change of the wage system made of brick or.terra cotta rather than Fol- som stone. This would not do us any good. Now, what we propose to .do .is 1o let the proper authorities know that we will cut and work stone taken from the quarry by convicts rather than let the job go begging. It is nothing in our pockets to lose the job to this City by a short-sighted opposition, and we don’t propose to do 1t.” We \vii’lo meake a fight olhnvet e stone for the college cut in this . SIPAISIRS CEISAR Attorney Hanlon Talks Plainly of Street-Paving Con- tracts. Combinations, Monopolles and Fa- voritism Freely Spoken Of by the League. ! The fight over the street-paving con- | tracts given without competition in the | bids came up yesterday in Judge Seawell’s court. Attorney J. C. Bates appeared for | the Board of Supervisors and asked to quash the service of the writ of prohibition and the writ of certiorari served upon the Board of Supervisors on the complaint of the Jordan Bituminous Rock and Paving Company and James C. Jordan, Judge Seawell asked the attorney for the Jordans to state the grounds upon which ;xe asked for a final writ of prohibition and | for an annulment of the proceedings be- fore the Supervisors under the writ of certiora Cnnrlevs T. Hanlon appeared for the Jor- dans. “Thisisan attack,” said he, ‘“‘upon the combine between the Solid Eight that exists‘m the Board of Supervisors and the Superintendent of Streets. These men have been adopting specifications for the bituminizing of streets in San Francisco under such terms as preclude the Jordan B)(um}nou! Rock and Paving Company from bidding, and not content with that, they have let out work for which the City must pay, without having a single com- petitor against their pet contractor. ““This favoritism has caused these con- tractors of the combine to charge exorbi- tant prices for their work: th thousands of dollars more than oelynccrh;anrg: would do it for if they had an op, ortunity to bid, and the bills now before the Board of Supervisors on behalf of a few of these contractors for work done under this s; VS~ tem of favoritism represents only the be- ginning of what will take place. . “In other words, the S8an Francisco Pay- ing Comfinny has Frescnted a claim for one block ouly, calling for about $3500. 1f this passes they will present claims for every block of the same street as they go along until $60,000 of the City’s fund is consumed. *“This is a downwright frand upon the property-owners, and the Vrooman act of 1885, with its amendments especially pro- hibiting the letting out of any street work to be paid for by the City or individuals except by public competition, but these Supervisors are ignoring all precedent and all laws and are making an indecgnt attack upon the treasury.” Heveral contractors interested were at court, and it was claimed by J. C. Bates on behalf of the Board of Supervisors that the board had full power to order any work done it saw fit without competition when the work must be done at the City’s ex- pense. : L Judge Seawell asked this question of Lawyer Bates: ‘‘Suppose the Board of Su- s should enter into a contract with a contractor to build a conservatory in the City of San Francisco, there beir:f no stat- ute Pro'{di:f for the same, could the City be compelled to pey this expense?” Mr. Bates said the City could. Mr. Han- lon contended that the City could not and the matter was taken under advisement. l and it is expected that before long JAPAN'S SHIPS OF WAR, Irving M. Scott Says America Will Surely Build Some of Them. $120,(_)00.000 WILL BE SPENT. The President of the Unlon Iron Works Talks of the Land of Perpetual Flowers. Irving M. Scott, the Pacific Coast ship- builder, has returned from Japan, where he went some weeks ago to arrange for some of the battle-ship contracts that the Japan Government will soon let. Having bad a good deal of work and business to burden him down, as well as being held on board the China by the quarantine officers for several hours after she arrived, Mr. Scott went straight to his home yesterday and retired to rest himself for various duties that require his attention here. Yesterday afternoon his son-in-law, James N. Brown, was seen at the residence of Mr. Scott and speaking for that lat‘er gentleman said: ‘‘He informs me that the Government of Jag\nn is not yet ready to let its ship- b\nl\?ing contracts and will not be until Parliament meets in February. Then the appropriations will be made and the num- ber of cruisers, bame-shiya and monitors will be determined npon.” “How much money is the Government prepared to spend no its navy depart- ment?”’ ““‘Well, I should say at a rough guess, or so far as T am able to determine, about $120,000,000, or the whole amount of in- demnity secured from China. England will get some of the contracts, and Mr. Scott says he is satisfied that the Pacific Coast as well as the East will be successful. General Williams, a representative of the Cramps, was also there attending to the interests of his firm. “‘Japan herself has made some good bat- tle-ships, but the most perfected vessels of modern times cannot be manufactured by them. I thinkit is safe to say that when Japan gets ready to spend some of her capital in shipsof war the Union Iron ‘Works will get its share of business.” In speaking of the general appearance of the country, Mr. Scott says that since he was there fifteen years ago the romance and poetry of the land seems to have been driven out to make room for commerce and foreigners. The people are buoyant with pride and satisfaction at having whipped China on land ana sea, and they | are now ready to take up arms against any foe, big or little, foreign or civil. While the cholera was worrying the peo- | ple of the United States there were but four cases in Yokohama and none in Tokio. Newspapers from America brought | more news of the epidemic than the in- habitants of the said-to-be-afilicted settle- | ments knew anything about. Since the | war the people have taken a remewed | energy unto themselves and the country | seems to be prosperous in every way. | ‘fheir industries are livening up and the navy-yard is hard at work turning out the best boats lhei are able to produce with the limited knowledge of ~shipbuilding th;dy possess. r. Scott says he did not visit the vards | owing to the pressing business he had with the Government. It was his inten- ;ion éo do so, but he left before time was ound. THE CALIFORNIA BANQUET. Committee Complain of Meeting Oppo- sition From Several Merchants. The committee of the California Ban- quet reports that nearly everything for the banquet is complete. The sale of tickets has not been as large as was hoped that it would be, and it has been found that this is partiaily due to the fact that the mer- chants who are selling Kastern goods which come in competition with the Califor- nia products are making efforts to dis- courage the banquet. The committee is receiving many in- quiries as to the manner in which the ladies should dress, and they desire to state that they expect some ladies to appear in full dress and others in street dresses and bonnets. The Girls’ Exchange has™donated the work on 400 souvenir boxes, which are to be daintily hand-painted, and on which are to be California mottoes and quotations. A TRAMP T0 THE HILLS. Pupils of John Swett Graramar School Have an Outing. W. D. Kingsbury, the vice-principal of the John Swett Grammar School, started out last Tuesday, in company with seven- teen pupils, for a trip to Mount Hamilton. The party was provided with four tents and a camping outfit. A {freight-boat was taken to Alviso, where %the young men were met by wagons that took them to Alum Rock, and from there they walked to the top of the mountain. The famous | 1z the unions will hold their meetings in the Temple. There is now at that place a strong and well-organized labor "union, where buildings workmen of all kinds can be obtained. = The next move will be to endeavor to in- duce the plumbers, the bricklayers, plas- terers, roofers and other craftsmen to meet in the same hall, where matters of interest to all may be discussed. If this is accom- plished one of the strongest labor unions in the world will be formed in this City. Another matter under consideration amdng the carpenters’ unions is tle es- tablishment of a $3 rate as the minimum of a day's wages. Previous to the recent ull times a fixed rate was maintained by | the carpenters, but the scarcity of money and work caused a break. Since then car- penters have been working for what they could get. Nearly all of the union men are in favor of re-establishing the old rate, and as they have made the working card so successful they are confident oftheir success in this effort. — e e——— FIRE SUFFERERY' SUIT. The City and the Water Company to Meet a Demand for Thousands. The suit mentioned some time ago as about to be brought by the sufferers from the big fire south of Market street against the City and Spring Valley Water Com- pany is still in abeyaunce. It was an- nounced by the prospective plaintifts’ attorneys yesterday that the suit would be instituted in a very short time. One of the causes alleged for the great damage done was the inadequacy of the water facilities, due to the small size of the mains. The water company is replacing the old mains with larger ones, 2s well as an in- crease in size of the laterals. What figure this may cut in the suit to be brought is not known, though plaintiffs’ attornevs say it will not serve in any way as the purpose of a defense. ALL LITTLE PRODIGIES Rehearsal of a Novel Concert for the Home for In- curables. Musicians Above Twelve Years of Age Are Considered too PRasse to Play. ~ A band of young men were wending their way up the staircase of the Y, M. C. A. building Saturday afternoon, when they were overwhelmed with astonishment to see twelve demure little maidens of tender years, all dressed in long white frocks, like Kate Greenaway pictures, walk out of the elevator with as much dignity as if they and they alone owned the build- ing. The youthful damsels entered the audi- torium and the young men went to the office to ask in trembling tone$ whether a kindergarten attachment to the Y. M. C. A. “for ladies only” was the latest devel- opment of woman'’s rights. The clerk in charge hastened to reassure them. He said the little girls had come to the first rehearsal' for the Prodigy Concert, which is to be given at the Auditorium October 29 for the purpose of starting a building fund for the King’s Daughters’ Home for Incurables, and he added that from rumors he had heard he felt safe in saying the re- hearsal would be well worth atteng'mg. At last the members of the orchestra | were grouped on the stage and the concert ready to begin. Mary, Susie and Dorothy Pasmore, three little performers who were not in long whitg frocks, appeared. Mary had a violin, Dorbthy hopped on the piano stool, and tiny little Susie sat before a ‘cello that almost hid her from the public view. The three mites performed a tri _ul'r:xu\ged on two well-known airs, char: ingly. applause from the ushers inthe boxes and hearty hand-clapping from every one else in the hall. The next performer was Theresa Bhr- man, a young lady who has reached the | mature age of 11 years. She played a | sonata by Haydn with the delicacy of a | little artist, and the applause that she so | well deserved broke out at the conclusion | of her work. Then a very little girl, who had been | sitting demurely among the audience, took the platform. As she mounted the music- | stand the children whispered that her | name was Helen Dodd and that she was | very clever indeed. The little performer proved the truth of this remark by play- a sonatina by Clementi with all the grace and delicacy necessary for interpreting that composer’s work. While the ap- | plause that the vpiece called forth was going on the music-stool was lowered, but all the lowering of which it was capable would not bring Helen Dodd’s little feet to the level of the floor, though with the tips of her toes she could just touch the pedals of the piano. Under these con- ditions she played ‘“The Shepherd Boy” with such pretty phrasing that the little ushers in the boxes reveled in the melody, and one or two of them hung over the railings to applaud, at the risk o% pitching outl:m to the platform and breaking their necks. Then Viola Sauter sang “'Fiddle and I” in a pretty mezzo-soprano voice that was not strong, but sweet. Maud Muller gave a recitation cleverly and Paula Wolff and Elsie Cellarius distinguished themselves | | | At its conclusion there was frantic | THEPEOPLE HAVE RIGHTS, Declarations of Counselor Delmas in a Railroad Dam- age Suit Yesterday. THE JANSEN HEARING BEGUN. Where Trains Are Run by License the Railroad Cannot Have Arbitrary Street Control. The case of Robert P. Jansen, who on September 22,1894, was struck by a train at the Chestnut-street station on the nar- row-gauge line, Alameda, was taken up in Judge Hunt's court yesterday. Jansen was a passenger on one of the local trains. He alighted and was struck by the engine of the train going in the opposite direction. He was dragged along ninety feet by the engine; his skull was fractured, one leg broken and he was so badly injured that for several weeks he was not expected to recover. He began suit recently for $50.000 dam- ages and yesterday the trial of the case was reached. Mr. Jansen, Isaac Aronberg, Dr. W. I-IY Robinson, E. A. Allen and Mrs. A. Jansen testified to the facts of the accident as here outlined, and then General Barnes, representing the railroad company, made the usual motion for a nonsuit. D. M. Delmas, representing Jansen, re- lied to the motion, and in his address he giscouued on the rights of #he general public in Alameda and other cities that permit railroads to occupy streets. “The corporation that runs its trains through the streets of a citfi by public license bas no more rights than has the humblest tramp who walks on the tracks,” be said. ‘‘Encinal avenue in Alameda isadmitted by the pleadings to be a public street, in which the rails are laid by license of the city. A railroad company has no more right under these circumstances than the humblest citizen. In this case Mr. Jansen had as much right on the street where he was as the locomotive had. I had the same right to drive there as the company hasto run an engine. The citizen’srieht is subject to only this single exception: that as the train can move only in one place the citizen must when possible take the other space in the street. *The law that it is the duty of Xeopln before crossing a track to stop and look and listen applies to the rural district, and in a city where the trains are run by license it does not bar a man irom recov- ery of damages. “For a city like Alameda, with trains running as they do there, it is the duty of the railroad to watch more sedulously for the people on the track than it is the duty of the people to watch for the trains. The reason is that the people who may cross the track cannot do injury to the train, while the train can do injury to them. “When Mr. Jansen was at the station to take passage on the train it was criminal negligence to run another train on the parallel track. Mr. Jansen was not a tres- passer and on the public street he had a right to assume that proper precautions would be taken by the railroad in running trains. The railroad is just as much bound to constant vigilance as the driver of a wagon, a truck or a car.” Mr. Delmas continued his discourse for an hour and a half, quoting many Supreme Court decisions to sustain his drgument. He will conclude to-day. GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP. Debaters of the Fabian Club Discuss the System in Vogue in Foreign Countries. At the regular meeting of the Fabian Club last evening the question of Govern- ment ownership of telegraphs and rail- roads was discussed, and it was decided that the public would be benefited by Na- tional cwnership, the opinion being based upon the following considerations: Eng- land has owned its system of telegraphs since 1870, and now sends ten times the number of messages at & less price per word and gives a better service than before the change from private ownership. The telegraph companies in the United States are paying dividends on $15,000,000 of stock, a large proportion of which is water, and it is estimated that the entire plant could be du};licated for $15,000,000. In the matter of railroads the following facts were noted: The roads owned by the German Government have yearly gross re- ceipts of $310,117,404, operating expenses of $190,958,257, leaving a net {ear]y income of $119,159,147. 1taly leases her railroads for $48.025,000 and 2714 per cent of their gross earnings. The Governments of Russia, Australia, Natal in South Africa, Austria- Hungary, New South Wales and Victoria lease their roads at a pavingoprum. and the lines are run satisfactorily to the public.

The carpenters’ unions of this City have been, for some time past, gradually work- ing around for the centralization of all of the building trades, and recent movements show that their efforts will probably be attended by success. The painters and decorators are in favor of the move. About the first step in this direction is the centralization of ail four unions and the District Council in the Turk-street Tem lei of THE CEILDREN’S ORCHESTRA. musically. The Ferfonpnnce concluded with an’ excellent rendition of Haydn's “Toy’’ symphony by the twelve little girls in white frocks. As the young men left the hall to pay a belated visit to the gym- nasium they decided to buy tickets for the concert on the 29th. * The idea of a “Prodigy” concert origin- ated with Miss Ida B.

IMPROVING STREETS. Supervisors Listen to Petitions and Protests in the Matter. At the meeting of the Board of Super- visors yesterday the chief business consid- ered was the improvement of streets. Protests were received against the fol- lowing street work and referred to the Street Committee: Paving Scott street, from Hayes to Fell; sidewalks on Church street, from Twenty-sec- ond to Twenty-third; paving Masonic avenue, from Haight to Waller streets. A resolution accepting Army street, from mfl:;on to Valencia, was ordered passed to print. The matter of paying the City Engineer $10,600 for making an official map of the city will be reconsidered. A number of members agree with the Merchants’ As- sucnfltion that $5000 is enough for the work. George W. Elder was appointed_official expert of the board to look after all street work. Hisduties will be to check the work of the Superintendent of Streets and look after contractors who may try to swindle the City and property-owners. _City and County Attorney Creswell was directed to look aiter the interests of the Board of Supervisors in the suit of Am- brose E.

MUNYON'S GREAT RECORD. Over Fifty Thonsand San Fran- ciscans.Adopt His New System of Medicine. Look Outfor Substitutes This is Munyon’s third week in San Fran- cisco and it will no doubt exceed the great record made by his remedies during the past fortnight; for this reason hundreds of sufferers who have spent their all trying to obtain relief by doctoring in the old way and received no benefit whatever have no doubt looked upon these cures with suspi- cion, and, although racked with pain, hes- itated to try them, for fear it was another humbug. undreds of such during the past week have acknowledged to Munyon’s representatives this rezson for not purchas- ing these remedies before, but after seeing with their own eyes the wonderful cures made by them have invested their 25 cents with some druggist for a bottle and been restored to health. Thousands of others will do the same this week, and as each day passes hundreds of converts will be made to this new school of medicine. It cannot be otherwise. No other medical company in the world has ever dared to give away free over 20,000 vials of its remedies, ask the press to inves- tigate and allow them to publish the resul of such an investigation. This Professor Munyon has done, and up to date only eleven persons have reported no benefit received, whereas thousands tes- tify to their efficacy.
