THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1895. over the next event, judging between three teams in class 34. They were Walter Ho- bart’s Autocrat and Aristocrat, which he drove himself in a T cart, his Peacock and Gamecock in a phaeton, driven by a groom, and George Pope’s Romulus and Remus, driven by Alex, a coachman, who was formerly in Hobart's employ. Hobart would have given several blue ribbons for this one. Alex had gone East for Pope | and bought the horses which he drove, and he was seeking revenge for losing his e in the sta ce Fortunatus. Many of his friends among the grooms athered about the arena to cheer and en- ge him, and Prince Fortunatus re- many counter cheers from the xes. teams were well matched, and the judges took a long time to come toa conclusion, but finally awarded the blue ribbon to Alex, and as he drove off he re- eived an ovation from his friends. 35 was then judged, the blue rib- ved bon going to A. B. Spreckels, the red to W. §. Hobart” nd Piggott and the third to Josepk Suitan and Pasha. The Burlingame fayorites of the polo field and their ponies, fourteen in number, excited the interest of the ladiesin the hoxes as they came on to be judged. Hobart was unfortunate again, for first and second prizes went to John Parrott’s Black Beauty and H. H. Hinshaw's Katrina. Hobart took third prize and a vellow ribbon with McNahr and Pi 1t was getting quite dark as the high stepp class 40 came to be judged. Ho- t’s luck was changing, for he took all arded, the biue ribbon going elding, unnamed, the red ap- priately to Cardinal and the vellow to Day. The white ribbon, for third prize, 1s not awarded, as no horse was consid- ered up to the standpoint for the class ex- cept the fi two. This was the lastevent before dinner. —_—— THE EVENING EXERCISES. Many Features Pleased the Occu- pants of the Boxes—Around the Ring. In the evening the boxes filled up even | slower than they did the night before. Troop A of the National Guard, under | Captain Sime, first interested the audience | fc an hour with some prettily exe- cuted evolutions and good jumping over hural ad of six | ame in and | ition of good oid-fashioned | They sat their horses too | il were too natural to suit the | taste of the imported grooms from Bur- | ea lingame, but a1l the same lhe_\'l pleased the audience. With three at one end of the arena and four at the other, Captain Thompson gave 1l charged forward, | 3 s line, the first move- ment in the lancers, so closely that their | rrups rapped. At the second passing Tom Kennedy was hurt and left the field, but t seriously injured. After giving a number of exhibitions of short stopping and quick turning they left the arena, giving plate to six high-steppers | in dog —three of Hobart’s, one of Jo | Grant'sand one of J.M. Cunningham’ H in carried off a blue ribbon with Highflyer, a red ribbon with Peacock and a white one with Cadet. He had only three horses in the cla: the yellow badee with Music. | Cadet became nervous and the groom | who drove him was unable to get him to | take his paces and Carman took the rib- | bons and gave the auaience an idea of what the first whip in America can do. He soon had the horse in good temper and Jo Grant got drove him around tne ring amid the plaudits of the multitude. Ab dozen crack stalions of class McK y and Diablo, the | t rivals of the whole show, and who | ded the first prize at the State Fair, | were next paraded in the arena, merely for exhibition o firsy e the audience has been d up during the show was when the re engines came in. Engines 2and 12, | with three-horse teams, and the patrol wagon of the San Francisco department came in first all finely decorated and flowe: and were and again; but . when akland engine with a pair nt grays came charging in vent wild. Kew knew that aking Oakland a favorite, but | did, and it was all owing to the horses, the engine was undecorated but ready for business. They have been for several years the pride of the Oakland Fire Department. The engines and patrol wagon went around the arena a number of times at a business gait 5 #+Judging ten tandems” was next on the programme, but only seven showed up. They made a very pretty sight, however. Hobart drove May Day and Highfiver, a pretty chestnut team, each of which has | already won ribbons in other classes. A groom drove his Peacock and Gamecock, Herrmann’s groom drove the old favor- ites Cockrobin and Addie. J. Talbot Clifton drove his Alpha and Omega, and grooms drove Walter Mo- rosco’s Solano and Soleto ‘and John Parrott’s Flossie and Flora. J.D. Grant held the ribbons over Music and Myrtle. 1t was unfortunate for Grart that grooms did mot count points in the judging. Nothing more perfect and wooden than his *“man” has been seen in the show, It never winked once while in the arena. Hobart’s May Day and Highflyer took first prize, his Peacock and Gamecock . second, Herr- mann’s Cockrobin and Addie third, and the yellow ribbon went to Grant’s Music and Myrtle. The evening’s exercises were closed with some high jumping, in which Talbot Clif- ton startled the audience by clearing all the hurdles on Guadalupe. TO-DAY’S EXERCISES.

NEW YORK, ., Dec. 4.—A jeweler of this city is making arrangements to offer at public sale éome time in January the collection of jewels and gems owned by Mrs. Leland Stanford, widow of Senator Stanford. The value of the collection is wvariously estimated at from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000. Stanford bought four sets of diamonds for his wife when the jewels of Queen Isabella of Spain were sold in Paris and paid §600,000 for the four sets. One set is of the stones known as “blue diamouds,” as they emit violet rays by day. Another has pink rays in its stones. The third set is of diamonds as yellow as topaz, and_the ! fourth is of flawless white stones, Each set has a tiara of necklace, pendant, brooch, earrings, from four to six brace. lets and some finger rings, all of the same style or make and of corresponding stones. In addition to these Mrs. Stanford has some genuine black diamonds, cut pear- shaped, and numerous other diamond ornaments in a variety of styles. ecklace, not belonging to any of the sets above named, is valued at $100,000 and its pendants at $30,000. e OF INTEREST TO THE COAST. One of the New Bat!leships Likedy to Be Built in San Francisco—Deep- Water Harbors. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 4.—Sena- tors Perkins and White and Representa- tive Loud were at the Navy Department this morning and saw Secretary Herbert about the contract for the new battleship, which they hope to secure for the Union Iron Works. While Secretary Herbert did net give them any positive assurance, they judged from the tone of his conversation tbhat he would allow the San Francisco bidders ten per cent, and as Mr. Scott will doubtless be willing to accept the contract with this concession, it is very probable that one of the new battleships will be constructed on the coast. Senator White is endeavoring to secure from General Craighill, ehief of engineers, an approval of Colonel Benyurd’s report recommending an expenditure of $39,000 for aredging the inner harbor at Wilming- ton. When he has secured General Craig- hill's approval of this project Senator White Wiil endeavor to have this amount appropriated in the river and harbor biil, which expenditure will increase the depth at low tide from fifteen to eighteen feet. This project, Senator White says, is dis- tinct from the outer harbor work, con- cerning which there is a controversy be- tween the Southern Pacific and the people of California, Huntington’s engineers protesting against any improvements of San Pedro’s outer harbor, but wanting the work done at Santa, Monica, to cost several million dollars. This project has not been broached in Congress yet, but doubtless soon will be, when Representa- tive McLachlin introduces his bill, which will be_referred to the River and Harbor Committee. Senators White and Perkins also saw General Craighill to-day and urged that work on the Oakiand tidal canal be prose- cuted as expeditiously as possible. One ST s INJURX TU THE TEXAS. Steering Gear Breaks Down While the Battle-Ship Is at Sea. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 4. —Another mishap has befallen the battle-ship Texas, which recently met with trouble through the buckling of its frames while in thedry- dock at the Brooklyn navy-yard. The Texas left Brooklyn this morning for a preliminary test of her engines at sea. This afternoon a message was received at the Navy Department saying that its steer- ing gear had broken down and that the vessel was at Tompkinsville. No particu- lars were given. e FIRE IN A SWEATSHOP. Spread of a Conflagration Through Tene- ment-Houses Narrowly Averted. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 4.—Fire broke out this morning in the six-story building’ at the corner of Attorney and Irvington streets, occupied as a sweatshop. On each side of the burning building were tene- ment-houses crowded with tenants. The fire spread rapidly in the sweatshop building and the whole place was soon a mass of flame. It was only by the hardest kind of work that the firemen prevented the flames spreading to the neighboring buildings. The building in which it broke out was completely gutted. Loss, $45,000. The fire caused a paaic among those living in the burninE building and in the adjoining tenements, but it is believed that there was no loss of life. A dozen men were obliged to drop to the roofs of the adjacent houses, through which they could escape to the street. Many women and chihfren were carried to the street by the firemen. SRR CALIFORNIA’S NEW BISHOP. Rev. Mr. Johnson Not Yet Prepared to Accept the Bishopric. DETROIT, Mics., Dec. 4.—Rev. Joseph H. Johnson, rector of Christ Episcopal Church -of this city, who was yesterday elected Bishop of the Diocese of Los An- geles, Cal., says that he is not able now to say what his decision will be as regards accepting the bishopric. He save he knows nothing of the field there, and it would be almost like going to a foreign country. He now has charge of a large and important parish, and he will not de- cide upon the course he will pursue with reference to the afipointment without a careful review of his work here. It he feels that it is God’s wili that he change his field of service, he will obey the sum- mons. g Arranging for the Encampment. ST. PAUL, Mrxx., Dec. 4.—The next en- campment of the G. A. R., as fixed by the administrative council to-day, will be held September 1 to 4 of next year. The naval gnrade will occur on the opening day, on September 2 the regular ' grand e of.| veterans and societies, and on the last tw days the regular sessions for business will take place. AMERICA SHOULD ACT Recognition of the Cubans Urged in the Senate Chamber. VIEWS OF STATESMEN. Foreign Policy of the United States Declared to Be Too Vacillating. AFFAIRS IN TURKEY TAEEN UP. Cleveland Requested to Produce All the Information in His Possession, WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 4.— The Senate spent an hour and a half in session to-day, the proceedings winding up with a speech by Allen, the Populist Senator of Nebraska, in favor of recognizing .the Cuban insurgents as belligerents and aid- ing them “in all lawful ways” to secure the independence of the island and to es- tablish a republic there. No action was taken on his resolution, offered on Tues- day, to carry out his views; and it went upon the calendar, where it will remain unless taken up by a vote of the Senate. Call (D.) of Florida, who was to speak in support of a somewhat similar resolution offered by him on Tuesday, postponed his speech until to-morrow. So did Cullom (R.) of Illinois. Petitions for the recognition of the inde- pendence of Cuba were presented from the States of Ohio and Florida and were re- ferred to the Committee on Foreign Rela- tions. Resolutions ware offered by Hoar (R.) of Massachusetts pledging the support of the Senate to the President of the United States ‘““in the most vigorous action he may deem fit to take for the protection and security of the American citizens in Tur- key and to obtain redress for injuries com- mitted upon them’’; and caliing upon the President for all information received by him or the State Department on that sub- ject, and as to whether American Consuls in Turkey have been interfered with in the performance of their duties. The first of | these resolutions was referred to the Com- mittee on Foreign Relations; the other was agreed to. The question of the disputed senatorship from Delaware was brought up in the Sen- ate to-day in the shape of a formal claim (in writing) of Henry A. Dupont to be ad- mitted as a Senator under an election by the Legislature of Delaware on the 29th of May, 1895. The paper was presented by Mitchell (R.) of Oiegon, with evidence in support of the claim, and the matter was referred to the Committee on Privileges and Elections—Mr, Dupont being in the meantime admitted to the privileges of the floor. Chandler (R.) of New Hampshire pre- sented petitions from various counties in Alabama alieging the commission of elec- tion frauds and asking that Congress should secure to that State a republican form of government; and they were re- ferred to the Committee on Privileges and Elections. A memorial from the Legislature of Wyoming for the establishment of a Na- tional park in “The Switzerland of Amer- ica” was presented by Clark (R.) of Wyoming, and was referred to the Com- mittee on Public Lands. Sherman (R.) of Ohio presented a peti- tion from the citizens of Ohio for recogni- tion of the independence of Cuba. It was referred to the Committee on Foreign Re- lations. Like petitions were presented | from Florida by Call (D.). of Florida. Squire (R.) of Washington, in introdue- ing a bill to provide fortifications and other coast defenses, alluded sarcastically | to patriotic speeches to be delivered to the Senate in favor of Cuban independence | and other such subjects, “As if we were able to carry a chip on our shoulders”— the fact being, he delared, that of the twenty-eight coast cities of the United States, only one of them, New York, had any adequate defense, and even New York - had only one-tenth of the means of de- fense that she ought to have. Hoar (R.) of Massachusetts offered the following resolution, which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations: Resolved, That the Senate will support the President in the most vigorous action he may deem fit to take for the protection and security | of American citizens in Turkey, and to obtain | redress for injuries committed upon such citi- zens there. Resolved, That the President be requested to make known to the Government of Turkey the strong feeling of regret and indignation with which the people of America have heard of the ihjuries inflicted upon persons of the Christian faith in Turkey, and that the Ameri- can people cannot be expected to view with in- difference any repetition or continuance of such wrongs. Hoar also offered a resolution, which was agreed to, requesting the President to send to the Senate all information recejved by him or the State Department in reference to injuries inflicted upon the persons or prop- erty of American citizens in Turkey and in reference to the conditions existing there as to oppression or cruelties prac- ticed on the Armenian subjects of the Turkish Government; also to inform the Benate whether all the American Consuls in the Turkish empire were at their posts of duty, and if not, to state the circum- stances that have interfered with the per- formance of their duties. The resolution offered yesterday by Al- len (Pop.) of Nebraska for the recognition of the Cuban revolutionists was taken up, and Allen addressed the Senate in support of it. He spoke of the importance of the island, both in a strategic and commercial point of view, and declared his belief in the propriety of promptly recognizing the revolutionists of Cuba and assisting them in all lawful ways to secure their inde- pendence and to establish a republic. He would not have the United States Govern- ment plunge headlong into a needless quarrel with the Spanish Government, but he believed it to be the true policy and doctrine of this Government that wher- ever a people showed themselves desirous of establishing a republican form of gov- ernment upon adjacent territory they should receive American encouragement and support. He believed that the time was speedily coming when not only the people of Cuba would be free, but when the people of all the adjacent islands would have established a repubiican form of government or would have become in- tegral parts of the United States. Allen did not fayor greed for territory or the glories of conquest, but .he did be- lieve that the sober, candid, thinking, pa- triotic people of the United States fully realized the necessity of promptly taking steps in thav direction, to secure their country against foreign invasion and to extend the interests of their commerce. He also believed in the Monroe doctrine and believed that the people were dissatis- fied with the foreign policy pursued for the last twenty-five years. He believed that it had been dilatory, if nov absolutely trivial and contemptible. It had been a hiss and a by-word among the people of the United States. In this connection Allen referred to the case of Mrs. Maybrick, charging that she had not been given a fair trial in England, and to that of ex-Consul Waller ‘“lan- guishing in a French prison for the al- leged crime of treason to a Government t> Which he owed no allegiance.” He did not believe in *‘a brilliant foreign policy,” butin a sensible and efficient one that would command the respect of the entire civilized world and would draw to its sup- port citizens regardless of political align- ment. No action was taken on the resolution, which thereupon went to the calendar, and, as Call (D.) of Florida, who was to speak on the same subject, preferred to postpone his speech until to-morrow, the Senate proceeded to executive business and at 1:30 adjourned till to-morrow. el BILLS IN THE SENATE.

WASHINGTON, D.C., Dec. 4.—Since Secretary Carlisle’s offer to pay express charges both ways for gold deposited to build up the gold reserve. slightly over $500,000 in gold has been deposited. Many millions of gold have been offered by Na- tional banks with conditions attached such as Carlisle declined. Gold of a face value of $700,000 was offered by Louisville (Ky.) banks. The gold waslight weight, but the banks wanted it accepted at its face value, not its bullion value. Many banks in western sub-treasury cities have offered to deposit gold if given credit in New York. The terms of the original offer precludes this, as it was not the intent of the treasury to assume the expense of exchange for National banks, okl ge iy POPULISTS TO STAND ALONE.

C., Dec. 4.—The Populist members of the Senate held a conference yesterday afternoon for the purpose of consulting about the situation in the Senate, and, as Mr. Peffer said, strengthening their political acquaintance with each other. There were present Senators Peffer, Allen, Kyle, Butler, Jones (Nev.) and Stewart. It was ugiread they should stand together as a political party and vote solidly—at least up to such time when it is demon- strated what the Republicans and Demo- crats contemplate doing. No effort will be andt:e by the Populisis to organize the nate. ol B Introduced to the President. WABSHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 4. — Mr. William R.

RUSHING FOR CLAIMS, Reported Gold Strikes in Three Sections of Colorado. NEW TOWNS SPRING UP. Hundreds of Prospectors Are Seeking Fortunes in the El Dorado. BOOM IN ALL MINING STOCKS. Prices Continue to Rule Firm on the Denver and Colorado Springs Exchanges. DENVER, Covo., Dec. 4.—Besides the Cripple Creek mining and mining stock excitement Colorado has three reported new gold fields to interest the public. West Creek, northeast of Cripple Creek, isnow a bustling camp, with a postoffice called Pemberton and a number of pros- pect holes. In Gilpin County a tellurium belt is alleged to have been traced by miners from Boulder across to the forks of Clear Creek, below Blackhawk, where a hundred prospectors are now staking out claims. Reports have come from that dis- trict before. Near Salida specimens of float carrying free gold have been picked up and a local stampede to lay off claims has ensued. The stock market was lively to-day, with prices firm. The Golden Fleece, an old and rich gold mine near Lake City, has been listed on the Jocal exchanges. Start- ing at §1, it was advanced to $1 30 under spirited bidding. The Golden Fleece has been paying very heavy dividends during the past year. Outside orders are growing rapidly in aggregate amounts. The rail- roads cannot handle without delay the great amount of freight moving into Cripple Creek and the passenger traffic is very heavy. Negotiations for mining property not only in Cripple Creek but in other well- established camps appear to be unusually active just now. Mining experts are all busy examining properties for Eastern investors. Creek average 700 tons per day. COLORADO SPRINGS, Coro., Dec. 4.— The feature of to-day’s trading in mining shares was Golden Fleece, a newly listed Lake City stock, which advanced from $1 15 to $134 bid. The higher priced Cripple Creek stocks were very strong and in good demand. The total sales for the day in this city were 2,074,881 shares. The Golden Fleece Company has declared its regular monthly dividend of 2 cents a share. L. V. Deforeest of New York Consoli- | dated Exchange is at present in Cripple Creek. what be bas seen, and regards the listing of the best Cripple Creek stocks in New York as altogether probable. A Ilarge amount of the listed shares are finding their way to the East, and not a small pro- portion are going over to Europe. MISSOURI ROAD AGENTS. Raid Upon a Country Town by Three Bold Outlaws. S8T. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 4.—A special from Birch Tree, Mo., says that a series of sensational highway robberies occurred at Monteer. Avout 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon | three men rode into the village. Two of | them went to the store of Charles McClel- | land, which also contains the postoffice, while the other stationed himself on the street to keep guard. One of the robbers in the store pointed hisrifle at those present, telling them to turn out their pockets, which they promptly did, while his companion gathered up the proceeds. They robbed the postoflice of the cashbox. One of the men covered the bystanders with his gun, while the others took pos- session of McClelland’s horses. hey fired two shots while in the store, and then left in a southerly direction. They were well mounted and armed. From their conversation, it is thought, that they intended to hold up the west- bound passenger train, due at 11 p. ., but so many people being in town, they were afraid to try. A posse has organized and started in pursu el S L SUE FOR A SEPARATION, Branch Railroads Which Would Be Di- vorced From the Santa Fe. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 4.—Bondholders of the St. Louis and San Francisco and the Atlantic and Pacific railroads yesterday appeared simultaneously in the Federal courts of St. Louis and Topeka, Kans., with a petition, which, if granted, will be a decisive step in the direction of severing those roads from the control of the Atchi- son, Topeka and Santa Fe, Theirs is an intervening petition to determine their right to participate in the purchase of the Santa Fe when the foreclosure takes place. The petition recites the whole story of the absorption of the petitioners’ roads by the Santa Fe, the election of hostile boards of directors, the alleged unnecessary issue of bonds, the appointment of joint re- ceivers for the three roads and the recent failure of the petitioners to secure sep- arate receivers. General John W. Noble is senior counsel for the petitioners and is working to secure legal separation from the Santa Fe and ingemnity for alleged losses consequent tc the joint receivership. e e One Wreck Causes Another. CENTRAL CITY, W. Va, Dec. 4.— Freight train 68, south bound on the Nor- folk and Western Railroad, was wrecked at Breeden last night.

Horrible Confession Made by John C. Stone, Confined in the Indiana Peni- tentiary. FORT WAYNE, Ixp., Dec. 4—John C. Stone, alias Vinson, has made a confession to Sheriff Clausmeier, detailing a life of horrible crime. He was arrested with John Duffy, alias “‘Fingers,” and William Walrath, for attempting to kill Deputy Shenif Harrod, May 28 last. Walrath was shot and died in Hope Hospital. Stone is under a ten-year sentence, and Duffy’s case went to the jury last night. Stone tells that he and Walrath were members of Bill Dalton’s Western gang of bank and stage robbers. He says he, Duffy and Walrath killed.a man at Kansas City in 1883, robbed him, and later gave the loot to Henry Donnelly, a policeman, for protection.

Charges RVALED HETTY GREEN. Death of Mrs. Anna Aspinwall, the Eccentric Pittsburg ‘Woman. She Had Sailed for Europe to Escape Being Besieged by Callers. PITTSBURG. Pa., Dec. 4.—A cablegram received in Pittsburg announces the death in Edinburgh, Scotland, of Mrs. Anna R. Aspinwall, widow of George R. Aspinwall of this locality. Mrs. Aspinwall leaves behind her a record of a life as unique in every respect as that of Hetty Green of New York, and it is thought that for eccentricity it would even surpass that of the notorious New York woman. Mrs. Aspinwall’s strict seclusion shut out all intercourse with the public, so that she was not known to a great many, even by reputation. The act that recently brought her into unsought prominence in Pittsburg was her donation of a tract of valuable real estate to the West Pennsyl- vania Hospital. To escape bemng besieged by callers, Mrs. Aspinwall sailed in June last for Europe. On this trip a fall caused bg a lurch of the ship inflicted injuries that resulted in her death last Monday. Mrs. Aspinwall’s estate is worth more than haif a million in bank accounts and investments, while her land possessions are_in value exceeding $3,000,000. Her maiden name was Annie Coleman, she being a member of the wealthy Coleman family in the East, prominent in mining interests. She married Cngtain George R. Aspinwall of the family which controlled the Aspinwall line of ‘ocean steamers and through him came into large possessions. WILL OBSERVE THE ECLIPSE.
