Democrats also offered to assist, and Collector Wise, in speaking of the move- ment, said: “You can quote me as strong as you like, not from a volitician stand- point, but from the standpoint of a citizen who has faith in California.” Barry Bald- win, Postmaster Frank McCoppin, Wil- liam D. English and other Democrats looked upon the move as a beneficial one to the coast regardless of politics and party lines. General Barnes referred to the time when the Grand Armv of the Republic visited this coast in 1 and out of the 9000 who visited this City over 500 returned again to California with their families to reside permanently in the State. That reunion cost the people of this City $100,000, yet it has been returned to us tenfold. Other National conventions-have been held here and with the most satis- tactory results, Joseph D. Redding, H. 8. Foote, George W. Monteith, Thomas V. Cator, Rolla V. Watt, James V. Coleman, Henry I. Kowaleky and many others argued in favor of the convention, and the most ca- pable minds on the Coast reasoned that it was the most diplomatic move that the Republican party could make.

However, I do not think it will be Francisco to raise whatever ed, and we will do our share. Fair said: of it, Charles man who has made his money on this coast ought to support the plan to se- cure the next Repu an National Convention for San Francisco. There are a great many good reasons why he ought to. In the first place a body of repre- sentative politicians of the United States couid do the Pacific Coast an endless amount of good by their p nd it would enable many of t. never visited the West to talk i y of it on their return home. Her: b ast has had all there is to be had out of the conventions of the Re- publican and Democrsatic party while the West, ever ready to add her votes to the elec- tion, has had nothing. It might be said with equel truth that we have had very little of the so-calle There is a vast amount west of the Missouri River er had an opportunity ot reaping the benefits that come from National conven- tions. We are new to be sure, but for that metter so is the entire United States. Ido not see how it is possible to place any obstacles in the way of the movement, as every man who has interests here ought to pe perfectly willing 10 add sll the financial influence in’ his power 10 bring about the desired rosult. Personaliy I feel that it is my duty to sub- scribe 1o the project. The Fair estate has un- der its control the Lick House. The appear- ance of & body of men in Sen Fran will do itsome good. It will do all the hotels some good and I would not hesitate to do my share of the subscribing. Wheu the committee formed for the purpose of soliciting subscrip- tions is organized they can call onme and I will respond to the extent that they con- sider my share. Ihaveno scruples aboutstand- ing in because I am a Democrat, for I consider that this is a case where party lines should not be drawn. It will belp not only San Francisco but the entire coast, and the benefits will be reaped Ly Democrats as well as by Repub- licans. It makes no difference to me who brings the mouey and the men in Cslifornia so long as we get them here. Keep up the can- vass and if the men who have thrived on the prosperity of this country will all stand in you will have no trouble getting all the money re- quired. :You can count on me. At the meeting of the Manufacturers and Producers’ Association last evening First Vice-President Julian Sonntag said: In relation to the possibility of having the National Convention held in this city I am in- formed that Charles M. Shortridge will give $5000 to the fund to be raised for the purpose of having the convention here. This announcement was received with approval and exclamations of “Good for Shortridge!” I believe that the National Convention will be held here. It would be of grest interest to the State were it held in San Francisco, for there will surely be some of the most promi- nent men in the country here. The hydraulic question, Oakiand harbor affairs, the railroad question and many more mattars could be brought t) their attention. I pelieve that all the mercantile orgenizations of the City shonld call a joint meeting immediately and take steps to inducc the convention to come to this City. At such a meeting the whole matter could be discussed and then a sum of money could be pledged to the fund. There are a number of wealthy men who, I deubt not, would be willing to sub- scribe liberally. Alvinza Haywards, for in- stance, I think he would not hesitate to sub- scribe $5000 for the purpose, and there are many who would do likewise—and there are auany who in a small way would help to swell the fund. I for one am reedy to subscribe to the extent of my means. Pierre B. Cornwsll, chairman of the Stiate Central Committee, said: Shouid the question of securing the next Re- publican National Convention be found to de- pend on the raising of 2 sufficient fund for that purpose, the question would soon be settled in favor of San Francisco. I have not as yet decided just what sum I lhould be willing to subscribe, but you may -y that I sm heartily in favor of securing the convention, and will willingly do my share in & moneved sense to secure it. X Iam fully persuaded that the question of finance will be soon settled when that point is indicated as being the turning one in the con- test for that honor. Irving M. Scott said: Tanticipate that there would be but Iittle trouble in the matter of securing a sufficient amount of funds to pay the many expenses of the convention, should it come to that ques- tion. 1 have elways subscriped to all such move- ments in the past, and of course should be willing to do my part in the matter. I am in fryor of the movement if the question of secur- ing the convention be within the Tange of probability. Colonel J. 8. Young of the Russ House said: : Count me in. I'll have to figure up how much, but you can be sure it will be my full share. Every one that cares for the good of the City or State could ask no better opportunity toshow it than this. If it isa possibility we should use every effort to bring the convention out here. 0. B. Stanton of the Baldwin has large and liberal ideas. We are down for a thousand. I didn’t sup- pose the question of ra1sing enough money is goingto stand in the way at all if there is any chance to get the convention out here. Manager Kirkpatrick of the Palace said: Ihaveno doubt that our people will do all that is expected of them. Of course, I cannot say exactly what wil be done until several people have been consulted. pbisicosn e OAKLAND OPINIONS. Congressman Hilborn, Mayor Davie and John P. Irish Approve of It. OAKLAND, CAL., Oct. 22,—Congressman Hilborn was seen to-night at the Fine- Priest wedding regarding the proposition to secure the National Republican Convention for San Francisco. He said: Ibelieve it is a move in the right direction. It would be of more benefit than the mere money left here by the delegates, which in itself would be no small matter, but the great advertising of the State throughout the world would be the main benefit. To get itevery one must unite. The eonvention this yaar will attract more veople than for many years past and the eye of the world will be riveted on the city in which the next President of these United States is to be chosen. No doubt Oakland will do her share in raising the entertainment fund. It would be a small thing for the State to raise $100,000. No doubt the sum will be raised within a week. Let it be known what amount is wanted and it wiil be forthcoming. THE CALL'S enterprise deserves all the praise that can be given to it. Hon. J. P. Irish said: Anything that will bring a Natlonal conven- tion to this coast deserves the commendation and encouragement of everybody who has Pacific Coast interests at heart. The subscrip- tion of THE CALL should be duplicated by every wealthy citizen on tne coast, and the task of raising £100,000 should be child's play for this Etate. No one can realize at aglance what the bringing of a convention to this coast means to the State. As an advertisement for San Francisco $100,000 is a cheap price. 1 believe that many of the men who will be elected to nominate the next Republican can- didate for President think of San Francisco as it was when Bret Harte wrote of it. Before the convention meets, while it is in session and for & long time afterward every newspaper in this gountry and many in other countries would be advertising San Francisco. Now that the matter has been handsomely started by the proprietor of THE CALLI sup- pose that there will be an orgenized effort to procure the necessary funds. If San Francisco cannot go & dozen better than Pittsburg her streets ought to be desolate from henceforth. Mayor Davie thinks Oakland ought to provide about $15,000 of the necessary amount. He said: This is not & political question; it'is & plain business proposition. The holding of the Republican National Convention here would prove of inestimable vatue. Isee that THE CALL has started the ball roll- ing with $5000. Oskland should subscribe at least $10,000, and I have no doubt that she will do her duty in the matter. Although San Francisco will reap the greater part of the benefit Oakland will come In for her share. Many of the men who wounld come here would be men who may go back and make the politics of the Nation. They would become acquainted with us and with our ambitions, and could be brought directly in contact with our needs. It has always been our complaint that the lawmakers of the Nation did not un- derstand our needs. Many of them will under- stand us better after-a National Convention. It everybody will work hand in hand the burden will fall heavily upon ne one, and all will ben- efit eventually. — PITTSBUEG NOT INACTIVE. The Fund Raised by Any Other City © Will Be Equaleds PITTSBURG, Pa., Oct. 22.—Confident in securing the Republican Convention, the committee of 100 has engaged an archi- tect to examine the new exposition build- ing and estimate the cost of an addition. A hall over 200 feet square to seat 15,000 can be made. It is the strong belief here that Quay may be the next National chairman, and the local committee relies principally on him to pull the convention here. The guarantee fund is nearing $70,000, and any fund by any other city will be equaled by Pittsburg. —_— POLITICS IN NEW YORK. Beetings Were Held Promiscuously “All Around the Town."” NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. New York to-night was ablaze with political meetings from City Hall Park to King's Bridge. The weather was charming and nothing happened to mar the proceedings of the events, of which there were nearly 100. All shades of politics were represented, from the mass-meetings of the Democrats and Republicans to the tail-cart brigade of the good gouernment clubs. , Chauncey M. Depew was the star at the big Republi- can meeting at Carnegie Hall, and Perry Belmont at Tammany Hall. Amos J. Cummings was the main figure at Central Hasll, and Dr. Parkhurst entertained the crowd at Urbach’s Hall. The tailcart campaign was carried on the “East side, west side, and all around the town,” as was also that of the Ger- man-American Union. Miss Boswell spoke to a great crowd of Italians at a ball on Kirst avenue, and James J. Plant of Minnesota and Thaddeus Wakeman took care of the Populists at Third avenue and Forty-ninth street. EXPLOSION OF A BOILER. I Demolished a Building and Killed Two Men. BURLINGTON, [owa, Oct. 22.—The boiler of the Lomax Picket Fence Com- pany of Lomax exploded this afternoon, completely demolishing the building and killing two men and wounding two more seriously. John Holmes was found dead over fifty feet from the ruins,a mass of broken bones and torn flesh with his head nearly torn from the body. James White, a laborer, was found impaled on some pickets. L. B. Coleman and A. E. McGee were seriously injured. B Deep- Water Convention. VICKSBURG, Miss., Oct. 22.—The deep- water convention was called to order at noon by Captain J. W. Bryant of New Orleans. Colonel Booth of Vicksburg welcomed the delegates to the city. The feature of this afternoon’s session was the address of Judge R. W. 8. Taylor of In- diana, a member of the River Commission. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, 3, 1395. REFORMS ARE URGED, AN IMPORTANT RESOLUTION ADOPTED BY THE UNITARIANS. GOVERNMENT OF CITIES. RECOMMENDATIONS THAT A TRUE NON-PARTISAN SPIRIT BE OBSERVED. PROGRESS OF THE CHURCH. “LovE To Gob AND LovE To MaN” AMONG DOCTRINES OF THE CREED. WASHINGTON, . C., Oct. 22.—This morning the formal three days’ session of the sixteenth annual conference of the Unitarian and other Christian churches was opeuned in this city. In the absence of Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, Dorman B. Haton of New York presided. The opening address of Rev. George Batchelor, chairman of the National confe rence, was an exhaustive history of the progress of the Unitarian organization in the United States. Discussing the prospect of a gradual uniting of all religious creeds, Mr. Batche- lor defined the differences which separated this conference, and probably must do so for zenerations to come, from the universal churches, inasmuch as the Unitarians be- lieved that the highest duty and supreme object for which the church exists is the perfection of human nature and human society upon this earth. He closed by a terse definition of the lead- ing articles of the Unitarian belief, stating that they were not agnostics in the things which most vitally concerned spiritual 1 welfare, but passing over superficial and technical differences, believed, as surely as they believed in the attraction of gravita- tion, that righteousness is salvation, and that all the law is summoned up in “love to God and love to man.” At the last moment Dr. Collyer was un- able to be present, and the communion service was conducted by Rev. C. C. Ever- ett of Cambridge, Mass., Rev. G. Thoyer of Cincinnati and Rev. McDaniel of Newton Center, Mass., about 1000 persons attend- ing. The convention adopted the following resolution presented from the eouncil by Dr. Batchelor: “Resolved, That the serious and increas- ing corruption and venality developed in recent years in connection with the government of American cities has not only made good municipal administration much more difficult and costly, but has so obstructed the advancement both of morality and religion as to make it a grave duty of all friends of municipal re- form to exert themselves for the arrest of such evils in the future, and to make common cause in urging all good citizens to discard mere party spirit and interests and to unite in common effort for good municipal government without regard to. their party affiliations. “‘Resolved, That this congress wishes to express its profound sense of the serious nature of those evils which have their origin in habits of intemperance and in the demoralizing influence of the traffic in intoxicating drinks. These evils not only cause the needless expenditure of vast sums of money without useful results, the serious impairment of physical and mental energies, the general debasement of char- acter and much of the corruption in politics and government, but they are also & chief obstruction to the triumph of morality and religion, a reproach to an enlightened people and to Christian civilization.” g MISS WILLARD RE-ELECTED. President of the W. C. T. U. for the Seventh Time. BALTIMORE, Mp., Oct. 22.—Miss Fran- ces E. Willard was to-day elected pres- ident of the W.C.T. U.for the seven- teenth consecutive time. The ballot was announced as 361 votes for Miss Willard and 14 scattering. As the recording sec- retary csst the ballot of the convention for Miss Willard' the delegates and visitors arose and sang “Praise God, fromjwhom all blessings flow.” Miss Willard was visibly “affected, and tears glistened in her eyes as she arose and with tremulous voice thanked the convention for the great honor it had shown her. Mrs. L. A. N. Stevens of Maine was chosen vice-president at large, a new office provided for by a recent amendment to the constitution. Mrs. Catherine Lente Stevenson of Massachu- setts was declared the unanimous choice of the convention for corresponding secre- tary. Mrs. Clara C. Hoffman of Missouri was elected recording secretary, 318 of the 392 ballots being cast for her. Mrs. Fran- ces E. Beauchamp, president of the Ken- tucky W.C.T.U., was elected assistant recording secretary, and Mrs. Helen M. Barker of Illinois was elected treasurer. The National superintendents of depart- ments, board of organizers and evange- lists were re-elected, subject to a few pos- sible changes by the executive committee. The most intense interest of any session of the W. C. T. U. was developed to-night, when the report of the committee on reso- lutions was under discussion for nearly three hours. Nearly every delegate of- fered an amendment, a suggestion, or gave her views as to at least one of the planks of the platform. 8o much time was thus consumed that only about half of tke re- port was acted u The prohibition and woman suffrage planks brought out most of the discussion, and a number of amendments to each were offered before the delegates were satisfied tbat the senti- ment of the convention was expressed in unequivocal language. “Benefit night,” a new feature in Na- tional conventions, was celebrated by the States, which showed a net increasein membership during the past year of 500 or more. The States varticipating - in to- night's entertainment, and among whom the proceeds will be divided, were Penn- sylvania, New York, Louisiana, Maine, Towa, Connecticut, Oregon and California. An elaborate musical programme was pre- sented, and addresses were made by Presi- dent Willard, Mrs. Ormiston Chant and the presidents of the unions of the above- named States. S AT s OBSEEVANCE OF THE SABBATH. An Interesting Pastoral Address by the Episcopal Bishops. MINNEAPOLIS, Mivx., Oct. 22.—The pastoral address of Bishops was given out to-day. Itislargely routine in character, about the only interesting point being that in relation to Sunday observance. Upon that point the address says: *‘Recent events in some parts of our country compel us to call your earnest at- tention to a widely spreadingand deter- mined attack upon the use and purpose of the weekly day of rest, known from the beginning of the Christian era as the Lord’s day. Itis declared in the law of God to be his own day and by the favor of man to be ‘made for man.’ It is protected by a divine command and by the perpetual sanctity of a human right. Men may and ought to worship God every day, but for the greater assurance of this duty one day in seven, with the formal sanction of all Christian civilization, has been set apart for its due observance. This order cannot be disturbed without grave evils to the individual and his family, to society and the State. It seems almost incredible that our modern life should be capable of bringing into play any powers of evil that could seriously threaten the existence of so divine and beneficent an institution. And yet the peril and disaster of such a menace confront Christian people in wide areas of country, We exhort you, dear brethren, to meet this menace with unfal- tering courage and resolute determination, and in no. oppertunity that may be pre- sented to decline battle with the insatiate greed of the liquor traffic and the growing desire for popular pleasures and amuse- ments, which, with increased boldness, claim all days alike for their uses.”” The convention on this, its last day, showed only enough delegates remaining to constitute a quorum of the winding up of necessary business details. A message was received from the House of Bishops containing a joint mesolution constituting the missionary district of Northern Texas. The action was concurred in withont debate, A message wag sent from the House of Bishops to the effect that the missionary district of North Carolina shall be known as the District of Asheville. Dr. Hoffman of New York moved that a committee be appointed to inform the House of Bishops that the House of Deputies had concluded its businessand was now ready to adjourn. It was announced that the conference com- mittee on hymnals was still in session and Dr. Hoffman temporarily withdrew his motion. A message from the House of Bishops announced its recession from its action concerning the binding of the hymnal and the book of common prayer. Gethsemare Church was crowded this afternoon at 3 o’clock. The pastoral letter was read and the Episcopal general con- vention for 1895 closed sine diz with the usual services. CASWELL 15 COMMANDER, ELECTED TO THE HIGHEST POSITION BY THE SCOTTISH RITE MASONS, REPORTS SHow THE FLOURISHING CoNDITION OF THE ORDER IN THE COUNTRY. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 22.—The announcement is made that the council of inspectors - general thirty-third degree, Amtient and Accepted Rite of Free- masonry, southern jurisdiction, has elected Thomas H. Casweil of San Francisco grand commander to the vacancy caused by the death of General Philip C. Tucker of Texas, O.8,Long-of Charleston, W. Va., lientenant grand commander; E. T.

C. Jordan of Omaha, grand almoner; and S. W.Todd of New Orleans, grand auditor. A special committee onthe centennial celebration of 1901, which will be held in St. Louis, was appointed. The Provincial Grand Lodge of the Royal Order of Scotland for the United States, although not officially connected with the Supreme Council, always holds its annuul session when the latter order meets, as the majority of its members belong to the rite. - The lodge to-day. con- ferred the royal order on nineteen candi- dates from various parts of the country. The Supreme Council, thirty-third de- gree Masons, northern jurisdiction, also commenced its three days’ session to-day. The acting grand commander, W. A. Hershiser of Columbus, Ohio, read his an- nual address, showing ‘the order to be in & flodrishing condition and declaring that not alone in the East was a marked im- provement noticeable, but that all over the country an astonishing revival was going on. SWEEP OF FOREST FIRES MEADOW VALLEY, A SMALL VIL- LAGE, COMPLETELY DE- STROYED. CoNsIDERABLE DAMAGE ALSO DONE IN OTHER SECTIONS OF Wis- CONSIN BY THE FLAMES. JUNCTION CITY, Wis., Oct. 22.—Word has just been received here that Meadow Valley, a small village on the Valley di- vision of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway, bas been wiped out by fire. The blaze originated in the large cranberry marsh near that village. There was a high wind at the time, and reports say that the fire spread to the village before the residents had a chance to fight the flames. Word was received later that the town of Babcock is threatened with de- struction. Meadow Valley is a village of 100 population. All the residents aredeal- ers in cranberries with the exception of R. C. Treat, general store, and E. Huffman, blacksmith. GREEN BAY, Wis,, Oct. 22.—This city is surrounded by forest fires which to-day are made specially dangerous by a strong northwest wind. Between here and Ke- waunee the fires are almost continuous, in some places approaching dangerously near the tracks of the Kewaunee, Green Bay and Western Railway. Near Luxunburg several families have already been burned out, and at various. points many others have moved from their homes in dread of the approaching flames. On the line of the Ahnappe and Western road, near Casco, the situation is serious. To Protect Creditors. 8T. PAUL, Mww., Oct. 22.—Clough Bros., as a firm, and Governor David M. Clough to-day filed a deed of assignment to John F. Byers, who is connected with the Bank of Minneapolis. The firm of Clough Bros. consists of David H. Clough personally and as administrator for the estate of Gilbert Clough. The firm was in the lumber business. Governor Clough said: “‘The estate is indebted to us in the sum of $92,000, and the assignment forced us to the same in order to protect our creditors,” ¢ GAVE THE GLAD HAND, PRESIDENT CLEVELAND OF- TEN "SHOOK" WHILE GOING TO ATLANTA, WELCOMED ON THE TRIP. GREAT WAS THE ENTHUSIAM AT THE TOWNS THROUGH WHICH THE TRAIN PASSED. ENTERTAINED AT A DINNER. To-DAY THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE WILL VISIT THE Bic FAIR AND MAKE A SPEECH. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 22.—President Cleveland and his party of Cabinet officials arrived here at 4:50 ». M. Twenty thou- sand people were massed in the streets which converge at the Union station. The carriages for the visitors were grouped in front of the Markham House. Mr. Cleve- land was greeted with cheers when he stepped upon Georgia soil. He was ushered into a carriage drawn by four white horses. President Charles Col- lier of the exposition, Vice-President Hemphill and Mayor Porter King of At- lanta took seats beside him. Secretaries Carlisle, Lamont, Herbert, Smith, Wilson and Morton, with the lady members of their families, and . General Passenger Agent Turk of the Southern Railway fol- lowea quickly in other carriages, eseorted by members of the exposition board of di- rectore. The party were driven to the Aragon Hotel, the President smiling and bowing as he passed up the street. The trip down was without special incident. Danville,Greensboro, N.C., and Salisbury, N. C., did not get a glimpse of .the Presi- dent, as he was not up when the flyer shot through those towns. Although the hour was early there was a crowd at each point, buttbey were disappointed. Charlotte was the first town at which Mr. Cleveland showed himself. The tramn stopped there for twenty minutes and the President shook hands with a large pro- portion of the 40060 townspeople who had assembled. Twelve hundred school chil- dren marched past and two or three mili- tary companies were drawn up in line. Spartanburg turned outfive or six thousand strong to see the visitors. Greenville, 8. C.,was reached at 12:20, The President shook hands with all that came to him, and had a pleasant word for the children. This programme kept up all down the line at Central, Seneca, Toccoa, Ga., where the train crossed the line into Georgia'and finally at Gainesville. To-might at 8:30 the President, the Cabi- net members and 100 prominent citizens were entertained at dinner by Mayor Porter King at the Aragon Hotel. The table was in the design of the letter “C.”’ Mayor King sat in the center of the outer line, with the President on his right and Vice-President Stevenson on his left. Governor Atkinson of Georgia sat directiy in front of the Mayor, with Secretary Car- lisle on his right and Secretary Lamont on his left. The other Secretaries were in the immediate vicinity of the President and Vice-President. The dining-room was elaborately decorated with tropical plants and the National colors. The dinner was intended to be representative, and the guests included the State, county and city officials and the juryof awards at the ex- position. While the gentlemen were at dinner the ladies of the Cabinet party were the guests of Mrs. Becretary Smith at the Grand Opera-house witnessing the production of ©1492,” President Cleveland spoke for a minute, congratulating Atlanta and the South on the exposition and expressing his pleas- ure at being here. Mr. Cieveland bowed in acknowledgment of the toast to the Pres- ident of the country. He said: “I know not hardly how to reply to this, and shall attempt to do but little more than to return thanks for the kindly at- tention that has been shown me. Ever since my visit to your city I have been re- minded constantly that I was in a country of hospitality. Nothing reminds me more of this fact than now. Hospitality devel- ops into fraternity, and the hospitality shown between the people of the North and the South has devel- oped a fraternity which knows no section. If this hospitality means union what else could unite a country in a stronger bond? It means devotion and attachment to the flag we all love. I {feel, then, that while T am a visitor to this community that I am among those who are determined not to be outdone in anything that is patriotic. When I shall recall the incidents of this visit I am sure that none shall finda warmer place than those present on this occasion, and before I close I wish to say that you have here a city for which fate bas reserved all that is good and prosper- ous.” To-morrow will be the greatest day at the exposition. Atlanta is jammed with vis- itors from all parts of the country, chiefly, of course, from the adjoining States. Busi- ness of all kinds will be suspended. Mr. Cleveland will leave the hotel for the exposition at 10:30 in the morning. He will not have a military escort, but will review the troops from a stand in front of the Government building. He will make his address from this stand and not in the auditorium, as at first an- nounced. He will see the Government building first and then all the party will have a lunch at the Piedmont Driving Club. In the afternoon the guests will be escorted ‘through all the buildings. In the Negro building there will be a recep- tion for that race. At night there wxll‘ be fireworks at the grounds, a reception downtown, and at midnight the party will leave for Washington over the Southern Railroad. CAPTAIN AND CREW ALL SAFE. Arrival of a Boat at Valparaiso With Sur- vivors From the Burned Ship Parthia. BALTIMORE, Mbp., Oct. 22.—A .cable- gram received to-day from Valparaiso an- nounces the safe arrival at that port of Captain Carter and part of the crew of the burned ship Parthia. X Captain Carter sailed from Curdxfi, Wales, in the four-masted clipper ship Parthia about five months ago with a cargo of coal for San Francisco. Nothing was heard from the ship until a few days ago, when one of her boats containing the chief officer and part of her crew reached Valparaiso and reported that on October 14, when about 400 miles off the southern coast of Chile, the Parthia took fire and adl hands were forced to take to the boats. The boats became separated that night in a gale and the captain and the remainder of the crew were supposed to have been drowned. . ECKELS ON SILVER. of the Comptroller Have Not Changed Since His Tour. NEW YORK, N.Y., Oct. 22.—A Wash- ington special to a morning paper says; James H. Eckels, Comptroller of the Cur- rency, has just returned from a European trip; which occupied abouttwo months. In response to a request for his opinion as the chances for an international agreement on the silver question he furnished the fol- lowing statement: *Iam sure there is less interest taken in the rehabilitation of silver asa money metal both in England and on the Conti- nent than at any time for along period back, It has never been suggested by the most ardent English, Fiench or German friend of silver that bimetallism main- tained by a single nation was a possibility in finance, and, now no one seems to be considering it very seriously as an inter- Views national possibility. No ons appears will- | ing to take the initiative in issuing invita- tions to & general conference largely be- cause of the belief that the whole subject is markedly theoretical, and that the attending delegates would not come clothed with such powers as would be binding on any one to a plan which might be agreed upon.” RAISING THE REVENUES, CLEVELAND AND CARLISLE READY TO TAX DOMESTIC WINES. ONE LITTLE SCHEME THAT CALI- FORNIANS WILL MosT ViIG- ORoUSLY OPPOSE. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 22.—It is believed that the administration realizes it must ask Congress for an increased revenue, but hopes to raise it irom internal sources rather than from import duties. It is understood by THE CALL correspond- ent that the Secretary of the Treasury is considering the advisability of recommend- ing a tax on domestic wines as well as vroprietary medicines. For the past two months the President and Secretary have been figuring out the way to escape the necessity of such an appeal and confine recommendations to financial legislation, arguing that tariff legislation has nothing to do with the deficiency of revenue. Itis well understood that the desire of the President is that a proposition for an in- creased taxation shall come from the Re- publicans as a counter to the suggestion that the whole trouble can be cured by the retirement of greenbacks and the firm establishment of a gold standard which Mr. Cleveland would lay down. It has become apparent that the situation will not admit of the revenue question being ignored, and -in" connection with the con- tention that the trouhle lies solely with the financial question there will bave to be a recommendation that more revenue be provided. It is expected that an effort will be made to prove that primarily. greenbacks and silver are responsible for the falling off of internal revenue and customs receipts, but the need of additional taxation will have to be confessed. It will be contended thst the falling off in revenues from whisky and sugar, which was most conspicuous, was due to hard times, and that even with the overthrow of the income tax the revenue would have been sufficient had business been normal and the gold stand- ard fully established. When it comes to the question of recom- mending a source of revenue, the members of the administration are seriously em- barrassed. They are afraid of the internal revenue tax, and at the same timé want to appear consistent in_the antagonism to protection. Itwill be interesting to Califor- nia wine-growers to know that there is contemplated a tax on the finished roduction. It may be that this suggestion as been put out for a ‘‘feeler.’” If 50, Californians will doubtless respond quickly and emphatieall —— DEATH OF GOVERNOR AMES.
