THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1895. HEARD AT STOCKTON, The Mail Claims Special Knowledge of a Bank- ing Policy. TO PROTECT THE FUNDS. New Move by the Commissioners Concerning State and County Moneys. GOVERNOR BUDD'S THEORY. He Thinks Banks Should Not Aid in the Election of County Treasurers. STOCKTON, CAL., Dec. 12. With a claim that the information is special ana reliable, the Mail says that the Bank Commissioners held a meeting yester- day in San Francisco and determined upon a policy which will materialy affect banking methods in this State. The object of the new move is to protect State and count; funds. An order will be issued by the commis- sion directing the bank managers to re- fuse to accept State and county moneys except as special deposits. Thnis fact was learned from a local finan- cier who held a conferen:ce yesterday with the members of the Bank Commission. The new rule will keep the State and county moneys intect in the banks in | which they are aeposited, for a special de- | posit is one in which the cash deposited is | undisturbed and the identical coin re- turned, when drawn out, that was de- posited. This will be a safeguard acainst the loss of any State or county funds, and it is re- | vorted that the city money will be pro- tected in the same way. According to the last statement published by the Bank Commissioners, the total amount of money then being used by banks in this State was $2,786,127, and a large proportion of this could not be paid on demand. From the statement referred to it can be readily seen that, while a number of | banks are perfectly solvent and capable of more than meeting their obligations, they cannot pay on demand the amount of money due the counties or the State. They have plenty of assets, and have passed muster before the close scrutiny of the | Commissioners, but if they were called | upon to turn over at once the money they owe the State or the counties they could not do it. Under the new rule made yesterday by the Commissioners such a state of affairs cannot exist, as the money will always be on hand. Governor Budd was in the city to-day, and. discussing the subject, said: “I think there will be a change in bank- ing methods before the end of the present fiscal year. I do not think that banks sh 1' go into politics for the purpose of securing the election of County Treas- urers in order to have county funds de- posited with them. This has cut quite a figure in the past in the election of Treas- urers and it should all be changed. “My theory is to take the matter of plac- ing the county funds out of the County Treasurer’s hands altogether. This should be done by the County Board of Supervis- ors, who should place the money with the bank which will give the heaviest bonds and the highest premium tor the privilege of using the money. This will keep the money 1 circulation and at the same time the county will be secured against loss. *The money should be subject to the check of the Tr:asurer at any time. There is now some $6,000,000 of State and county money that if put into circulation would be a great benefit to the people of this State.” VISHLIA FLUME BUILDING Four New Principles Adopted by the Kaweah Irrigation and flumes, to be constructed closer to the | hillside, which, in the construction of | erades through rocky canyons, is a big | item. The other is the dividing of the | voke posts into ttvo posts longitudinally, | passing the yoke between these posts and across the flume and bolting them to their place, which makes a more equal distribu- tion of strength among the timbers. The application of this principle reqnires less material and affords greater simplicity in construction than methods heretofore employed. et g e AFRO-AMERI Ways to Secure Fuil Rights of Citizenship to Be Considered. DETROIT, Micn., Dec. —The Na- tional conference of the Afro-Americans, which was called for the purpose of con- sidering ways and means of securing for the negro citizen the full rights of citizen- ship, met in the Second Baptist Church here to-dav and brought together about twenty delegates from various States ana a like number from this ci Little or no business was transacted at the sessions to- day, tihey being occupied with organizing the conference and speech-making.

Buckleyism is about to sizzle up at the corner of Bush and Stockton streets, where | 2 new, quite peculiar and interesting polit- |ical headquarters has begun a career of | some sort. Just now it's something like a song; very likely it will yield a sermon. There is a quite magnificent, really odd and somewhat uncanny palace up there on the slope of Nob Hill just a little below the shelf made by Bush street. In it the returned boss, who cannot see, has estab- lished his throne, wakened the Occidental | Club into a life whose thrill was not dreamed of or hoped for a few months ago, and made of it the nucleus of a political ag- gregation representing the highest and lowest levels of the City’s social life, which | power of San Francisco. : 1 Buckley’s Occidental Club is nominally a social-political organization with a defin- T THIS IS WHERE BUCKLE [Reproduced fro ENTAL CLUB. the members stood up in perfect patriotic accord. The scene was a touching one. LIVELY AT COLLINSWILLE Survey Corps of the California, Oregon and Idaho at Work. Running the Line From That Point to Red Bluff for the Big Enter- prise. COLLINSVILLE, Car.,, Dec. 12.—The California, Oregon and Idaho Railroad Company has a corps of ten men here, preparatory to starting an actual survey meet a surveying party from Eureka al- ready in the field. The corps at this point is under the supervision of Harpand Bald- ridge, with Chief Engineer Sumner di- recting the survey. They are securing rights of way from all the property-holders in this vicinity and disposing of many contracts for bonds. There are two series of these bonds, one Power Company. Increase of Velocity and Economy in Material, With Added Endurance, Accomplished. VISALIA, CaL., Dec. 12.—The Kaweah flume of the Kaweah Irrigation and Power Company is interesting, not so much for its magnitude as for the fact that four new principles in Hume con- struction have been introduced in its de- eigu. The flume is 640 feet long, six feet inside width and will carry a depth of six feet of water. The first of the principles is applied in the approaches at either end of the flume. These are constructed in a manner exactly the opposite to the con- struction of the prow of a boat. The approaches involve two bents of the flume at each end of sixteen feet each and begin and end with the exact cross-section of the canal and gradually assume the cross-section of the flume. This was in- troduced to reduce the loss of velocity con- sequent upon the change from the full cross-section of the canal to the con- tracted cross-section of the flume av the entrance to the flume and vice versa at the exit to the flume to a minimum. The second principle has heretofore been applied only in pipes and closed conduits and will explain many of the failures of flumes in many cases tocarry their theo- retical capacities. It consists in putting the water with the head of the flume under pressure. ? Owing to the greater proportional cost of flume construction over canal and ditch construction, where both are of the same sectional area, it has been customary for engineers to greatly decrease the area of the cross-section of the flume and increase the grade of the same, expecting thereby to increase the velocity of the water in the flume and carry the same quantity of water as the canal above it. But Mr. Burr, chief engineer of the company and de- signer of the flume, points out the fact that this a false doctrine, both because of the greatimpediment to flow occasioned by the sudden contraction of area of cross-section, and although the grade of the bottom may be increased at will the fall of water surface will not make an abrupt change from one grade to the other, there being many flumes constructed in which the flume it- self will run one-third or one-half full, while the banks of the canal above over- flow, although the flumes are correctly constructed upon existing theories and formule. The third and fourth principles are minor ones, and involve detail of construc- tion, one being that all bracing is done running for thirty years and the other for twenty years, each to draw 5 per cent in- terest, payable annually, and secured, re- spectively, by a first and a second mort- gage on all the property, rights, franchises and privileges of the corporation, the first from this point to Red Bluff, where 1t will | m a photograph.] [ ite membership, but membership doesn’t | count particularly.

The pur- chase price is made payable in calls of 10 per cent as the money may be needed for the purchase of material and construction of the road. The company proposes to construct within three years from date of the bonds a_standard-guage railway from Collins- ville, Solano County, Cal., to a point at or near Red Bluff, Tehama County, Cal., to- gether with an intermediate line from a yoint on the main line in Yolo County, alitornia, to Washington, Yolo Count; Cal., and a continuous line from Colli ville to an eastern connection in Wyom- ing within five years, uniess prevented by the decrees or injunctions of the courts or the elements.

One | peculiarity of the house is that every | corner in every room is rounded in ac- cordance with directions by the shades of | the other world. | It is the old Buckley crowd that ran | local Democratic politics back in the ’80's and before the Sullivan-Dwyer revolution | of 1892 gave the party reins to a new set, | who compose the Occidental Club, and who are getting up a good thing to push | along. The organization is merely an old one that has taken a new name. Most péople will remember the Tam- | many Society that Buckley organized in | 1887. For a long time it did quite well over Steiner’s saloon in Bush street, near | Montgomery. Sam Newman was its first | president and among the leading members Colonel A. A. Andrews, James H. [9) n, A. T. Spotts, John McCarthy, E. T. Mills, A. J. Clunie, Jerry' Driscoll, Maurice Schmitt, Dr. Bryan, Tom Ford, ‘W. P. Wilshire, William Mc Zann, Martin Bulger, and so on. B In 1890, while Buckley was still in the | wer | expects to become the reigning Democratic | heyday of his power, Mrs. Peck’s property | went on the market after her death, and | Buckiey bought it at a bargain for $32,500. | Then the Tammany Society became Buck- | ley’s Manhattan Club. It moved $4000 worth of furniture up the street to Buck- ley’s new mansion, and Jake Lindo bought thie fine mirrors and some of the furniture | of the house at auc ion for the club. The Manhattan Club began to flourish under the vresidency of Colonel Andrews as a high-toned social club, with politics on the side. There was terrapin stew and champagne to be had there then. But in 1891 Buckley had important busi- ness in Canada while the Waliace Grand Jury was in session, the club went to smash and a time of storm and distress came on. Some of the Manbattan people —and some of them are back now—got out with the reorganizers and shouted against Buckiey, who was thought dead forever. An old guard remained true, but silent. During this season of bad fo1- tune the club owed Buckley a year and a half’s rent and the furniture became his and stayed there in the deserted rooms where the spiders nested long. The Manhattan Club maintained a nomi- | nal sort of existence while Buckley was so thoroughly down and out. In February, 1893, the DBusiness Men’s Democratic Association organized jand took the old Republican Alliance | headquarters on Powell street. Soon after | this organization and the Manhattan Club | combined under the name of the Business | iMen's Democratic Club, with Jobn Mec- | Carthy, the wholesale tea merchant, for | president. Quarters were taken in the[ aldwin Annex and Chris Buckley and | Jerry Driscoll were dropped from the rolls. | This club didn’t make any great amount | of noise, and it was uot very lively along | about last Christmas. Buckliey had mean- time safely returned, had secretly shown a | | strong hand in the lagt election, and some of hisold friends of pohtical experience ! consulted with lum about a new pro- | { gramme for the important political cam- paign that was coming. | John McCarthy, A. T. Spotts, 0. M. | | Welburn, John H. Wise, E. T. Mills, Wil- |liam Cronin, Ambrose McLaughlin, spe- | cial agent of the treasury, and three or four other members of the Business Men’s Club, talked things over and decided on | the new organization, about whict: Buck- | ley gave his advice and to which he offered | his deserted palace on the hill. Heads | | were scratched for a name and McLaugh- | lin's suggestion of “Occidental”’ was taken. | The Business Men’s Democratic Club be- | came the Occidental, and early in January | the Swockton-street mansion was swept out and occupied. About all the club had | to do was to move in and sit down on | Buckley’s furniture, and it did so with 210 members. Since then there have been | many changes in the roll and now the | member: » is stated at 384, and every | | man's friend of Buck. | The following present officers can all be | ! traced back with the leather upholstered | chairs that cost $27 apiece to 1887, Bush street and the Tammany Society : ent, John McCarthy; vice-presi- T.

Barbour. | But there are other untitled officers for what really goes on up there. Buckley, of | course, is the king who can do no wrong. | Things rather wait and languish when he | cometh not. When he puts in three or | four days at Ravenswood there is some- thing Iike a drooping to be sensed as though a worm mi:ht be getting in its work in the bud of promise. Buckley is | ! the soul and breath of life of the Occiden- tal Club of the present. He knows every | trick and move in every district in the | Cit, the measure of every influence in | overation.

That’s the idea of the new programme. Somebody is putting up between $2000and $3000 for the new fixings that are going i under the direction of Vice-President E. T. Mills, who takes a deeper interest in the club itself than in iis politics. The tapestries that Mr. Mills got out here from New York a few days ago cost from $12to $15a yard and they are going in the upholstered furniture in the big parlor that has agreat $2500 onyx mantel in 1t. Everything is being reno- vated and improved with touches of costly elegance everywhere. Beginning pretty soon there are to be weekly entertain- ments, with songs, speeches and some- thing to eat and drink, for that is the way to treat the boys. A gcod-natured, hospitable, though in- congruous, Democracy is_characteristic of the Occidental Club. The Buckley ex- firemen piay pedro in a fine bay-window room on a heavy walnut table, and down- stairs the valiant heroesof many a primary loaf on plush cushions and rosewood chairs and receive jolly salutations from big men with lots of money. Downstairs in the basement is a big room where seances used to be held. That's where meetings are held now and where the ban- uets that are planned will be enjoyed. | ometimes there will be champagne on tap down there and sometimes good old beer, according to the proprieties of the occasion. When they say ‘““Come and have some- thing,” they go out to the sideboard where cocktails are mixed by the white-haired, gentle and courtly Sam Sample, who has been known so well for thirty years. | ‘When people go to the Occidental Club | and touch the button, the door is opened e is | Percy Dana, a bright and popular little fellow of 22 years. is father used to be a plied mules to the Government his brother wrote so much about.

Bath claims tne distinction of baving the only jewsharp factory in this coun- try oufside of the city of New York. The industry is carried on in a building situated on Fourth street, in the rear of No. 16. J. R. Smith, the proprietor of the establishment, has made jewsharps for thirty-five years. Twenty years he worked at the business in England, and nearly fifteen in this country. He first started in Trov, but believing the location would be more healthful in Bath he re- moved to that village about nine years It is now placed among | musical instruments. For centuries it was | known all over Europe. It is also known as the Jews’ trump. It consists of a metal frame with two branches, between which a slender tongue of steel, fastened at one end and free at the other, is made to vibrate by twicthing with the finger while the frame is held petween the teeth. While there is no decrease in the de- mand, Mr. Smith says, there has been during the last few years a gradual mov- ng of the demand westward. Orders have increased in Chicago in the same propor- tion that they have fallen off in New York. afew years ago. styles of jewsharps, ranging in price from $3 to $25 per gross.

WILL 0 70 WASHINGTON. | Tirey L. Ford Delegated by the State They Will Urge the Passage of Measures to Protect Mining. WORK OF THE ASSOCIATION. Association, to Be Aided by John McMurray. The executive committee of the Miners' Association has decided to send a man to | Washington to work for California mining interests and to push the passage of two bills adopted at the last meeting of the association. Copies of those bills will be sent to the Congressional representatives of this State with requests to bring them prominentiy before the Ways and Means Committee, and two mining men will be on hand to make all necessary explanations of their purpose and importance. Those two men are Tirey L. Ford of this City, who was unanimously elected to the position, and John McMurray of Trinity | County, who has volunteered to spend a short time in the National capital at his own expense in the interests of the Cali- | fornia mining industry. It will be Mr. McMurray’s first experi- | ence in Washington. | It was decided to have 1000 copies of the | constitation and by-laws of the associa- | tion printed for distribution to the mem- | bers in the different counties of the State. | W. C. Ralston, chairman of the Mineral | Lands Committee, was allowed a clerk to assist him in taking up the mineral land | question. And it was voted to pay the secretary $50 a month for his services to the association The meeting was beld in the rooms of the Union League Club at the Palace Hotel and was a continuation of the long executive session of the preceding even- ing. Jacob F. Neff presided and Julins Sonntag was secretary. Last evening’s effective session began with Judge Walling moving the previous question, and immediately after J. M. Wright moved to adopt as aruended, ‘‘an act to provide for ascertaining the charac- ter of certain lands in the State of Cali- fornia.” It was a proposed substitute for the Singer bill and will now be sent on to Wash- ington. In substance the act provides for a speedy determination and indication of the character of all the odd-numbered sec- tiens of unpatented lands as to whether they are mincral or non-mineral, and as soon as practicable to publish a notice describing the location of the mineral lands and informing the people that they may file with the Registrar protests against | patenting such lands to any railroad. These notices are to be extensivelv pub- lished for two months, and during that | time or within thirty days thereafter any | one may offer a protest against a patent being issued on any land thought to be | mineral. An accurate description of the location of the section, together with the names of the persons seeking a patent, must accompany the complaint. At the end of thirty days such collected evidence | is to be forwarded to the Secrctary of the | Interior, who is to suspend the issuance of | patents upon the land described until a court of inguiry shall have declared it non- mineral. Twenty thousand doilars is asked to be appropriated by Congress to defray the expenses of a mineral land commission, a member of which must be & practical miner. The act further provides that all un-| | their paths. surveyed lands shall, as soon as surveyed, come under these regulations. Of the two other bills that the associa~ tion will try to bring before Congress early next year one asks for an appropriation of money for the construction of works to impound mining debris and thereby .to protect the navigable streams of Califor- nia, and the other is to amend certain sec- tions of the Revised Statutes relating te. mining claims and their location and pos- session.

A Grateful Patient. “T perceive that you have a cold.” With a look full of intense sympathy the young man who uttered these words eaned slightly forward as he gazed earn- estly at the beautiful girl he addressed, who sat opposite, and violently sneezed by ‘way of answer. *‘Yes, Miss Calliope,” he went on, en=- couraged by her silence, “and I am sorry toseeit. In this enlightened age, where scientific investigation bas done so much to reveal the hidden mysteries of all ail- | ments, the common cold has by no means been overlooked. I will pass over briefly, the causes which produce a cold, and pro=! ceed to the cure. To cure a coid,”” he con- tinued, drawing his chair slightly nearer, “it is mnecessary to produce an in- creased circulation in order to counteract the congestion. This is done in various ways. The old-fashioned method of takin, a hot drink before going to bed, and all o the attendant miseries, was but a blind | groping after the truth. Some doctors rec- ommend a brisk walk; others believe in various forms of stimulants toincrease the circulation. But”’—and here he gently took ber hand—*‘you wili admit, Miss (Talliope, there are other and better ways than these.” “1 suppose there must be,” she mur- mured, with a slight show of interest. “There are indeed !"” he cried, as he threw his arm swiftly around her waist, while her cheeks began to flush with the un- wonted excitement, and he heard her heart, beat. “Don’t you think so?"” And with a grateful look in her deep-blue eyes she replie *‘Yes, indeed. I can’t tell you how much better my cold is already.’—Judge. e S ‘What the Russian Thistle Looks Like. Did you ever see a Russian thistle?
