10 HARD AT WORK T0 BEAT FOOTE, Democratic War for Blood in Alameda County. OPPOSITION OF DAGGETT —_— Trying to Get Revenge With the Help of the Rail- road. OLD GRIEVANCES ARE REVIVED Mint Employes Are Actively Assist- ing in Preparing Full Club Rolls. OAKLAND OrFIcE SAN FraNcisco CALL, 908 Broadway, May 27. The weather is of no higher temperature than the contest between the Democratic cohorts of Alameda County. The present fight is an exceedingly pretty one and has brought out all the finess and tact that the master politicians who are handling it can command. Stripped of all verbiage and told in a sentence the fight is anything to prevent W. W. Foote from going as a delegate to 1 Chicago. There are a hundred or more sidelights ana grievances and personalities thrown sround the central object, but the main point to be fought out at the primary to be heid in this county on the 5th of June is whether John Daggett is stronger in Oakland and its environments than W. W. Foote. It has been called a fight be- tween Prison Director R. M. Fitzgerald and M. J. Laymance, chairman of the county committee, and a dozen other cloaks have been thrown over it, but when bedrock is reacned the fight is berween Foote and Daggett, both of whom are anxious to be United States Senator. Tt is the current chapter of the old Stock- ton convention rumpus of many years ago, wten Foote was on the Railroad Com- mission, and which resuited in Daggett being read out of the party by his political opponents. For several years after that Daggett was lost to the world politically while energetically employed in searching for gold in his Siskiyou mines. While Daggett was absent irom the front Foote built up an anti-monopoly record which he has since maintained. Closely alliea with Mr. Foote through- out has been William D. English and kis friends in Alameda County, including Postmaster J. J. White, P. E. Dalton, ex- Sheriff McKillican, ex-Senator Frank J. Moffirt, M. J. Laymance and others. Supporting Mr. Dazzett are John P. Irish, John R. Glasscock, R. M. Fitzger- ald and F. A. Fletcaer, who is supposed to be the representative of Collector Welborn. Mz:. Foote is a candidate for the National Convention and has a very strong hold on the political heart of Alameda County’'s Democracy. Daggett realized this, and as soon as he was installed in the Mint he carried the war into Foote's district ‘and bestowed patronage where it would be most valuable. Kven now some of Dag- gett’s friends haye expressed their inten- tion to vote for Foote, but as they intend to couple their support of Foote with that of John Daggett and John P, Irish their friendship for W. W. Foote is decidedly neutral. The lires are more evenly drawn in the contest for district delegate. The friends of Daggett and Irish are advancing R. M. Fitzgerald, while the friends of Foote and English are strongly for M. J. Laymance, who 1s chairman of the Democratic County Committee. Although the fight between Fitzgerald and Laymance 1s all that is heard it is well nnderstood that behind it is the old contest between Foote and Dag- ett. 2 Mr. Lavmance’s friends control the Democratic committee, and at a special meeting held a few evenings ago M. Fitzgerald was put forward by his friends 8s a candidate for delegate at large. Foote’s friends declared that the Mint employes had been working tooth and nail to beat him, and as a keen fight was expected there was the biggest County Committee meeting ever held nere, neces- sitating an adjournment to a larger hall. The Laymance cohorts nad not been say- ing much, but they had also been working like Trojans, and when the time came they presented their programme, which was adopted by a small majority, and they then put forward as the candidate for delegate at large W. W. Foote, and he was elected. One of the local grievances against John Daggett is that he was rescued from political obscurity and put in the Mint solely through the éfforts of the late Sen- ator Stanford and as a balm for the wounds he received at the Stockton con- vention. This report has been zealously denied by Daggett’s friends, but it is generally believed to be true in this county, and color is given to its trath by the fact that his appointment was op- vosed by Congressman James G. Maguire and Senator Stephen M. White. As was only to be expected Superin- tendent Daggett was anxious to get even with s political enemies who tem];o rarily secured his repudiation by his party. The first scalps he wanted were those of the Alameda Democratic contin- gent, notably Foote, English and Moffitt. Actual hostilities commenced two years ago, when Moffitt was delegate at-large from this county to the San Francisco convention. This displeased Daggett and a fight commenced before the assembling of the convention to prevent Moffitt being elected chairman of :is delegation. The fight was‘quite exciting and both factions were at fever heat for some days. Eventu- ally Moffitt was elected, but the fight did not end there. Two years have rolled away and now all the old antagonism has been revived. Foote’s head is up, Dag- gett’s scalping-knife is out and the co- horts are sumbling over themselves in their efforts.to strengthen their respective wings. In the Sixth Whrd, which 1s the banner Democratic ward, there are six employes of the Mint. All are working' to defeat the chances of Foote and Laymance. In the Third Ward there is an enroilment on the club roli of 200, and as_there are only about 300 Democrats in the ward, and as there are five or six days yet to hear from, there will be a very full enrollment, and, consequently; a very lively fight at the primaries. Daggett certainly has everything his own way in the First Ward, and as this is pre-eminently a railroad ward the Foote stands. Nevertheless the story is being worked with some effect against Lay- mance. Mr. Foote lives in the Third Ward, and it is believed that & body blow can be deait him if the candidate who favors his aspirations to be a National delegate most can be downed. % Altogether it is a very interesting con- dition of affairs, and whether Foote will be downed in his own home and given only negative support or upheld and given a positive support remains to be deter- mined on the 5th of next month. The enroliment in the various ward. closes on Monday evening next, when per haps a fair estimate of the outcome may be made. LOCAL LABOR UNIONS. The Metal-Roofers Want a Charter. After a Tool Thief. In all probability the Metal-roofers’ Union will soon become & branch of the International Metal-roofers’ Union ot New York. The local organization is now in a very prosperous condition, and it is be- lieved that by obtaining a charter from the international body it will add to its strength and standing. This idea has been encouraged by the Cornice-makers’ Union, which in fact is a part of the same trade. s Last evening a committee of the cornice- makers called upon the metal-roofers to further discuss this matter. In the very neaf future a metal-roofers’ business agent will be appointed, who will act entirely independent of the walking delegates of ths Building Trades Council. On June 20 the union will give a social and dance at 927 Mission street. Avthe meeting of the Granite-cutters’ Union last evening resolutions were passed condemning the employment of the Pre- sidio band in preference to musicians who earn their living by their profession. Some time ago a young tellow stole a lot of tools from a carpenter, wio seriously felt their loss. The case was heard before Police Judge Campbell, who was inclined to be lenient and let the young thief off easily. In fact, sentence was postponed for thirty days, which looks as though he would escape entirely, unless he should steal something else in the interim. % Last evening, at the meeting of the Dis- trict Council of Carpenters and Joiners, Judge Campbell’s merciful inclinations were unfavorably discussed. A committee was appointed to call upon the Judge and request that the law be enforced in this instance as a warning to hundreds of other thieves who infest this city and make a living by stealing mechanics’ tools, POMPAOOUR JIM COMING The Ex-Champion Pugilist Will Soon Be in San Fran- cisco. Jim Corbett and His Wife Will Be * Here for Three Weeks With Hs Family. Ex-champion and present claimant of the heavy-weight championship Jim Cor- bett has signified his intention of once more visiting his native heath. This intention on his part has been con- veyed to the members of his family in this City, and his brother Frank has secured the best suite of rooms, facing on Market street, in the St. Nicholas Hotel. The arrival of “Pompadour Jim” and his wife may be looked for on or about June 5. So far Corbett's home coming has been kept rather quiet by the members of his family. Even the sporting boys around his brother’s headquarters are still inig- norance of the treat that is in store for them when his presence is made suddenly known by his appearance in their midst. This modesty on the part of the Corbetts can hardly be accounted for when every action of Jim had been wired across the continent, It may possibly be that as Corbett is no longer the recognized boss of the prize ring, and that his beloved belt has encir- cled the loins of Aboriginal Fitzsimmons, there are no laurels to be woven sround Jim’s brow by the lovers of the manly art. His visit, however, will not be prelonged over a few weeks, as the elegant rooms se- cured for him have only been engaged for thé limited period of three weeks. ‘What his plans are or where he will next honor by his presence isnot known, but in all probability he wiil go East, as that cli- mate is more congenial to him than that of his native city. WANTED IN LOS ANGELES. L. F. Ramacciotti Arrested on a Charge of Forgery. I F. Ramacciotti was arrested in Oak- land yesterday by Captain Wilson and De- tective Anthony, and was brought across the bay and locked up in the ‘‘tanks” in the City Prizon. He is wanted in Los Angeles for forgery. No particulars of the forgery were given in the dispatch, and Ramacciotti, who tried to hide his identity by saying his name was Emerson, said it was a matter of $25, and was all a mistake. He has re- cently been engaped as a traveler for the well-known St. Louis brewers, Anheuser & Busch, but it is not known whether the forgery is in connection with them. Ssnfwe January last three warrants have been out here for Ramacciotti’'s arrest, two of them for forgery and the other for obtaining_ goods by false pretenses. Bernard Donnelly, grocer, Bush and Fill- more streets, is the complaining witness in one of the forgery cases. He accuses Ramacciotti of passing a forged check for $21 50 upon him. In the other forgery case the complaining witness 1s Grocer Myers, on the corner of Ninth and Mission streets, and he accuses Ramacciotti of assing s forged check for $10 upon him. E.e learned that these warrants were out and left the City. Captain Lees will let Chief Glass have him, but if he is not convicted in Los Angeles he will be brought back here to stand his trial on the three charges against him. = Ramacciotti is well known in this City and has held various positions of trust, but on more than one occasson was found wanting. GRONLUND TALKS, He Lectured Last Evening Before the Socialist Labor Party. Liberty Branch, Socialist Labor party, held a weli-attended mass-meeting last night at the Turk-street Teraple, Comrade Fred Fellerman presidine. Aiter an overture by John Lee and a short address by the chairman, Laurence Gronlund, the speaker of the evening, was introduced. After giving an account of his work in the Northwest, where he bas been lecturing in the interests of the Fabian Socialist Society, he gave a clear and interesting illustrative lecture on the advantages to the public welfare and pros- genly that socialism would bring about ¥ promoting the general freedom as well as individuality of the citizen. men are making the most of the point in- volved, as Daggett's influence with the railroad is presumed to be potential. It is said that Daggett has a block of passes at the Mint, and that he has invited a lot of stroiling delegates to Oakland. ‘W. B. White is the candidate of the Foote wing. He is the son of the post- master arid a hard fighter. The Daggett- Fitzgerald wing has nominated John Mc- Donald, and he also is actively at work. The rumor is in circulation that Lay- mance is a member of the A. P. A., but he denied this positively this aiternoon‘and said it was a canard circuiated to create a prejudice against him in certain quarters. Taymeance says he is with Foote upon the A.'P. A.question and wonders if there can Short speeches were also delivered by Dr. J. D. 0’Brock, Max Leitnus, Theodore Lynch and others. * The meeting closed by the singing of the “Marseillaise’”’ by the audience. —_———— 8t. Peter’s Parish Pienic. 8t. Peter’s parish picnic at El Campo Tues- day was one of the largest and most enjoyable outings held on & week day this year. A no- ticeable feature was the absence of the sale of liquors both on steamer and the unds. It 'f.l. entirely a family affair, i enjoyed themselves, and nothing occurred to mar the pleasures of the day. Valuable prizes were awarded for the various games, for which here were numerous contestants. The prizes re held by Mr. Cull of 12 Twenty-fourth be any question as to how Mr. Foote | sireet for the winners. THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1896 THE DEMOCRATS ARE LINING UP. Gold and Silver Men Are Getting Their War Paint On. COLNON FLAYS DAGGETT A. J. Clunie Says the NcNab Programme Would Split the Convention. HORACE G. PLATT ‘IS FRANK. The Rival Local Primaries Which Will Provide the Fatefu! Con- test Are at Hand. The silver element of the Democratic party is waking up to the danger presented by the industrious operations of the Fed- eral machine, which, with the assistance of the gold forces generally, is engaged in a hopeful effort to capture the State con- vention. Administration leaders will not gener- ally say much for publication, but they will privately express confidence that they will succeed in running the convention, electing an administration delegation to Chicago, indorsing Cleveland and securing either a gold or a straddle plank in the platform. The unorganized silver men all assert that the party is all for silver by & great majority and that the convention will surely declare for silver, but they recog- nize the danger of the assiduous practical efforts of Daggett and the rest of the Fed- eral brigade. Every delegate possible is being secured as the selection of delegates by the.various counties proceeds and every. influence possible is being exerted to se- cure proxies. The situation presents a mixture of combinations. In many cases the financial issue appears to divide political friends and to bring together political enemies. A majority of prominent Demorrats think that the gold and silver forces will divide on this clean-cut issue, and that amid a stormy time one element or the other will carry out its complete, radical programme. Should the battle be of this uncompromising nature, as it is in 2 num- ber of other States, it may easily split the party and send contesting delegations to Chicago. Some, like Surveyor-General Green, favor a compromise proposition, but it is not likely that John Daggett will be hunting compromises or that the strong free-silver men will, either. i It must not be forgotten that there is vastly more than the money question that will figure in the convention battle. It will be as - much as anything a struggle for control of the State and the local machines. With many who will shout principles this will be the only motive. D.ggett, McNab and Gould are straining every nerve to secure State Central Committeemen and a convention chairman that will appoint an executive committee of their naming. The grospecl! are that Gould will sadly be found to be unavailable and that another gold-administration-Daggett man will be picked. Members of the Junta are saying that Gould’s selection might put them on the defensive on the A. 5 A. proposition and the tendency for a stronger, broader and heavier man is growing. Then the local party’s fortunes are inex- tricably bound up in the fight that Dag- gett and McNab are leading, because con- trol of the local machine, which is to be handled-by McNab and Rainey, is & highly important part of their programmé. So added bitterness and fary will be given to the chief convention battle, which will, in fact, be determined at the outset by the disposition of the 161 gold votes and the 161 silver votes from this City. The personal ambitions of some big men are dependent on the financial issue, The wld faction’ would not send Maguire, hite or Foote to Chicago. nor would the silver men send Barney Murphy, E. B. Pond, Tom Geary or men like these. McNab turned Maguire down at the meeting of the Junta campaign committee the other night in a very clever way. ‘When the resolution indorsing Maguire for delegate at large was introduced Mec- Nab mixed up judicious praise of Maguire with his bitterly urged point that Maguire had declated that the other faction was the regular and legitimate organization. When the resolution was withdiawn Mec- Nab had gone as far as necesslr{ then to serve Daggett and knock out a silver man. McNab said that he would support Maguire for Congress. Many Democrats wink at this. They know Daggett's bitter hostility to Maguire, and would hardly trust a delegation controlled by Daggett to nominate the man Daggett threatened to run out of town. Harbor Commissioner Colnon the other day opened out on Dlggeu with his heavy guns in the following editorial in his pa- per, the Stockton Mail: THE FEDERAL BRIGADE.—The proof of the ex- istence of & conspiracy o stifie the voice of the California Democrdcy at Chicago is being pre- sented in a very offensive form. The tors, it is almost unnecessary to i cruited from the ranks of what is know: Federal_ Brigade. Mint Superintenden: gett no longer disguises his purpose to control if possible the Celifornia delegation to the National Democratic Convention. And for what is this cross-roads statesman using his rower to coerce and intimidate? For the pub- ic good? Not a bit of it. His job is to do noth- ing but mischief. He has the effrontery to think that he can commit the Democracy of California to the political iniquity of declar- ing for thesingle gold siandara. ‘@ believe 1t will be hardly ible for Daggett or any fifty men of his caliber, backed even by all the resources of the Cleveiand ad- ministration, to succeed in this wicked and pernicious undertuking. The people of Call- ornia are praciically unanimous fgr the free and independent coinage of silver. * * * Who dares, then, 10 stifle the voice of the peo- le of California npon this momentous issue? aggett and his littie crew of retainers, whose onl&delfl’e is o burn incense in frontof the Stuffed Prophet. Are they to be allowed with- out xny protest to have their way? Unless the honest men in the Democratic y are on their guard there is danger that gett and his crew may be able to perpetrate this contemplatea outrage. Uiteriy destitute of any decent political principles they have siarteG a little game by which they hope to win. By trying to make everybody believe that Chris Buckley is the leader of the free sil- ver men in California and that he has ac- cepted the mission of leading the bimetallists from this State at Chicago, they hope to bring silver into discredit altogether. That is their le purpose in coupling Buckley's name in &ny way with.the question. This fake is too raw to survive five minutes' investigation. There is no factional fight at all in Caliiornia over the silver question. A Democratic State Convention without !mgnlcmns A. J. Clunie in the middle of t would lose much of its thrilling joy. The convention will see and hear unie, and probably his brother, the ex-Con- gressman, both hot silver men. Clunie will be a Buckley delegate. “The party is for silver and the conven- tion will be for silver,”” Mr. Clunie de- clared vigorously yesterday. “From all the information I get from throughout the State the silver men will be in a large majority. I aamit that if the Junta dele- gation from this City is seated the silver men might be;in a minority, but that delegation will never be seated. The people of the BState are not going to carry out the programme of McNab and Daggett. Our delegation will e the strongest that ever went from his City. Tt will be headed by Railroad Commissioner Stanton. Are thei igmng to turn down a man with the record in the interest of the party and the people that he hk.; m-ldfl have d:;nde n,goodjul % Wwork for the party, ana I don’t propose be thrown out by Gavin McNab. Our dele egaflon is pledged to silver and against the funding bill, ‘and those will be the issues in a convention of issues rather than men. The delegation is pledged, t00, to support- Senator White, Con- §ruaman Maguite snd W. W. Foote or delegates at large. =~ Will they be turned down? T don’t think there will be any compromise on the money question I am for free silver, and I will stand )i;, on that proposition. Where are the gola men going to get a majority? The Junta gold delegation is not going to vote on its own contest. No chairman wonld dare to put through a programme like that. Ifit were done it would disrupt the conven- tion. The gold men could not geta ma. jority without their 161 from San Fran. cisco. Horace G. Platt is not taking the active and leading interest in politics he omnce did, and so when he flashed out & few bright ideas about the State Convention yesterday he taiked largely on general principles, The president of the Art As- sociation is one of the delegates from the “Buckley’’ reguiar Democracy to the State Convention, and he will bethere. Hesays that it is all a_matter of practical politics among politicians, “Well, [ am not in touch with what is going on in practical politics and have no definite impressions as to what the con- vention wiil d ) with the money question,” he said {elteldny. *T have not been toa volitical meeting in four years. _“Idon’t think that the financial ques- tion hag any particulur place at the State Conyention. It ought to be referred to the National Convention. If the conven- tion wants to do something merely be- cause it is popular, as the Republican Con- vention did, it may declare for free silver and for woman suffrage, but I think that Colonel Otis was right when he said in an Eastern interview that California is not a silver State. They may i free silver, as the Rep woman suffrage, because it would please people and be the easiest way out, but I dou’t think that” many of the same men will vote for woman suffrage when they go to the polls. *“The people have got the idea ghat they want silver becauge they have read in the newspapers that gold is favored by tue bankers and bondholders; that it would be easier to pay their debts in silver, and 50 on, but not many of them undersiand the thing. I confess that I do not, and I ‘have studied the _question dxhgentlg. I am not certain what would be the .effect of the silver experiment. I think that ninety-nine men out of a hundred are in my position. I do not see how by getting behind silver and boosting it vou can give it an arti- ficial life not resident in the thing itself. Trade controls law rather than the con- verse. I do not say that sixteen ounces of silver should not be worth one .of gold, but I am not prepared to say that it must be. ‘‘But the merits of the controversy are not going to cut much ice at the conven- tion. The issue will be a cloak fora reach- ing for political power. That is the main thing. The honest issue is practical poli- tics. Men will arrange themselves largely :ccordinF to the bearing of the issue on their political advantages. Yon know, a man in office is different from a man out of -office. The perspective changes, so I can make no prophecies about the conven- tion. The outcome will depend on the combinations that will be worked.”” Surveyor-General W. S. Green believes that the convention will indorse Cleve- land’s financial policy and he is out for the original compromise platform plank presented in THE CALL yesterday. _“Cleveland’s financiai policy will be in- dorsed,” he said yesterday. “That policy has kept in circulation 23'per cent of sii- ver, 31 per cent of gold and the rest paper, and I don’t see why anybody can’t indorse that. That is great statesmanship. I think that both sides will be willing to com- romise on some such resoiution as mine. Several silver nien have said to me that they would be willing to do so. Either side would be foolish not to compromise. Parties are made up of compromises. I am a radical gold man, but I am willing to compromise. I don't know how the interior is lining up on the issue. My county of Colusa has eight aelegates, and I understand that they are evenly divided. “I don’t think that any party man ought to withbold an indorsement for perscnal reasons, and I believe that both Cleveland and Budd will be indorsed. I don't know anything about this local contest. I would rather try to learn the Chinese language than San Francisco politics. I have no idea what the country will do about it. Thers is one thing at least tnat the convention will do with unanimity and a whoop, and that is adopt an anti-A. P. A. plank."” Joseph Leggett, the- law partner of Con- gressman Maguire, believes that it will be a silver convention, and_is doubtful about Maguire’s being on hand. *“I have received no intimation from Mr. Maguire as to when he will return,” said Mr. Leggett yesterday. ‘*He willstay until the end to "watch the funding bili, and has written me that Congress will probably adjourn between the 10th and 15th of June. That will hardly give him time to get here for the convention. “I think that the silver element will control the convention. It is the pervad- ing sentiment of the party in this State. How far it will be controlled by other in- fluences I cannot say. The Federal brigade is making a hard fight, but they are ina difficult position, for many have silver records behind them, aud it will be seen that the change is due to exterior influ- ences. They are trying to please the ad- ministration rather than voice their real sentiments. “The only question is, Are we to be Michiganized? " If we had a steady silver leader, like Altgeld of 1llinois, they would not be able to capture the organization in this State, and it will be a strange out- come if they do. Tre local contest may control the ‘convention, of course. The genernl impression seems to be that the Junta delegation will be seated, but it is impossible to foresee how the local squab- ble will eventuate.” gk e e RIVAL PRIMARIES. The Buckley Eleotion To-Night and the Junta's Next.. The Buckley primary for the election ot State Convention delegates will be held to- night and & similar primary of the Junta will follow to-morrow night. With both sides the election is little more than a formal ratification of the nominations recently made, as there will be contests in very few districts. The Buckleyites have apportioned nearly all the delegates to the districts, there being but one delegate at large—Railroad Com- missioner James 1. Stanton. All tbe dele- gates are pleged to silver and to opposition to the funding bill. The headquarters of the Buckley General Committee on Market street was a busy tcene last evening. District representa- tives crowded in for their printed tickets and election outfits, which were given out by Secretary D. M. Gavigan. This faction will probabiy see contesting tickets in the Thirty-fourth, Thirty-sixtl eighth Districts. At the Junta primary 108 delegates will be elected altogether, the campaign com- mittee having named fifty-three delegates at large. Of tnese Gavih McNab named twenty-three directly and more indirectly through the members of the committee, who submitted for approval from one to five names each. These delegates at iarge are dubbed the *“High Joints’' in the Junta. McNab arranged for them that this delegation might look fair and strong. McNab's “‘High Joints" will make up the front files of the delega- tion, and their names will be displayed with & “Look there!” The name of James D. Phelan, McNab's and Thirty- candidate for Mayor, comes first, and E. B. Pond and George T. Marye follow, the names from the Twenty-eighth coming far down the tine. There will be one contest at the Junta primary. That will be in the Twenty- eighth District and will be & hot reminder of old times. The “reguiar” ticket is con- trolled by Secretary fihn F. McGovern and Campaign Committeeman Tierney. The t;]z%smon comes from Jack Welch, Samu ayes and the rest of the Rainey crowd who have been shut out in that par- ticalar district for local reasons. As the regular ticket will be looked after by the elefiafl officers, the ontcome is already se . SALT LAKE'S CHAMPION. Arrival of Big Jim Williams—Hawkins snd Ziegler. Jim Williams, the champion heavy- weight pugilist of Utah, who is matched to box Tom Sharkey at the National Ath- letic Club’s exhibition on the evening of June 2, arrived yesterday afternoon from Salt Lake City. Williams is a big, strap- ping fellow, and from his appearance one would think that he had lived in the mountains all of hislife. He looks very bucolic, but according to his record he cer- tainly must be a rather hard game to tackle. He says that he will finish his training at Sausalito, and will fight Shar- key at 170 pounds. Williams has been training in Salt Lake for the past month. When he last visited this City, a few years ago, he was taken sick while training for his contest with Charley Turner, and on this occasion he took pre- cautions against sickness and trained at his home. Williams has a very good opinion of Sharkey, but he is very confident that the hard-hitting champion of the navy will meet his Waterloo in June. Ziegler and Hawkins are said to be in first-class condition for their fight, which will take place this evening. The betting on the match is not very lively, although several offers were made on the contest re- suliing in a draw. Hawkins is desirous of proving to_ the public that he can whip Ziegler, and to a friend he said vesterday that he will be the most surprised man in tie People’s Palace if Ziegler will stay the pace he intends to cut out until the gong sounds the finish of the bout. Ziegler has very little to say of the match. He ex- pects to win, of course, and will give the spectators “‘a run for their money,” so he says. READY FOR MEMORIAL DAY Where the Divisions Will Form and When the Column Will Move. Floral Offerings Ample to Decorate the Grave of Every Soldier—Protests Against Desecration. The general Memorial day committee of the Grand Army of the Republic con- vened last eveningat 320 Sansome street to make final arrangements for the ob- servance of the day in San Francisco.
