4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JULY 7, 1896 the repeated imprisonment of American citi- zens, without due process of law, the annihila- tion of American commerce, the frequent | alarms on our cosst and the consiant menace to our peace, impose upon the Government of the United States the duty of restoring order in Cuba. We therefore favor the prompt interposition | of our Government, snd believe & Government | satisfactory to the Guban people should be established asa guarantec of permanent peace. | It is stronger than the plank adopted at | St. Louis, which only calls for the friendly offices of the Government. Ex-Speaker Sulzer of the New York Assembly, one of the delegates from that State, has added a paragraph to the plank calling for the recognition of the Cubans’ belligerency, but that is believed by the Cuban plank custodians to be - Government intervention section, and it is not likely to be included. SEVERALSTATE CAUCUSES. Bland and Pennoyer the Ticket That Would Suit the Oregonlans. CHICAGO, ILL., July 6.—3everal State delegations held caucuses at the Palmer House to-night to select committeemen ana decide upon a choice for the Presi- dency. In the latter respect but poor re- sults were reached, most of the delegations deferring action upon the question until to-morrow. There was an uninteresting fight in the Michigan caucus. The gold men who were seated by the National Committee were on band in force. The silver men tried to run | the caucus and insisted on adjourning until after the credentials committee had met. The gold men objected to this and declared that unless business was ceeded with they would bolt. was finally compromised by an adjourn- ment for two hours, When the caucus reassembled the gold men put through their candidates. The silver men at once filed a protest on the ground that the gold men were not prop- erly accredited delegates. The sily er men announced that they would fizht the mat- ter in the committee on credentials. At the caucus of the Oregon delegation it was decided to withdraw their candi- date, Sylvester Pennoyer, as a candidate for the Presidency and run him for second place. They will t they haue to Bland in return for which the Bland men have, it is asserted, prom- | ised to support Pennoyer for jhe Vice- Presidency. The Alabama contingent held a caucus | and heard speeches in behalf of Bland, Boies, Matthews aud others. They came to no decision, however, and adjourned until to-morrow. The Texas delega! yisab! n discussed the ad- y of participating in thesilver can- cus, the secession of the Texas gold dele- | gations and other matters and declared for Mr. Bland. The Mississip»i delegation was addressed by Governor Stone in behalf of Bland, and also by the supporters of Boies. After having heard arguments they adjourned without expressing any choice.

CHICAGO, IrL., July 6.—When Mr. Bai- ley, the head of the Texas delegation, was | informed by a reporter of the Unite: Press | that Illinois had voted 41 to 7 for Bland, he exclaimed : “That settles it; he is as good as nomi nated already.” He mentioned the fact that the Texas delegation at its meeting to-day had for- ‘mally voted in accordance with the practi- cal instructions of the State Convention to | give its unanimous support to Bland. “Heis the best man the convention can nominate,” said Mr. Bailey, “and will come nearer than any one else could do to polling the whole silver vote of the coun- try.” s Cleveland Kept Posted.

INCIDENT OF THe FOURTH | Americans and Canadians Drink Together on a Rat Portage Steamer. | United States Revenue Officer Seized the Craft for Smuggling, but | It Got Away. | | RAT PORTAGE, Oxr., July 6.—A very | startling incident occurred at the Fourth | of July celebration held at Long Point, | Minn., on the American side of the Lake | | of the Woods. A large excursion steamer | { left here Friday night with a large crowd | intent on seeing the sports and joining in | the festivities. The refreshment buifet of | the steamer was not closed, as it should | have been, and the Americans and Cana- | dians showed their good fellowship by | drinking Canadian whisky together. | A revenue officer from the town of War- | road, seeing & man intoxicated ashore, be- | | zan investigating. Finding the bar of the | boat open he, with the aid of twelve | American fishermen, immediately seized | he craft as a smuggler, and put every | British sailor and passenger under arrest. | | esterday the officer who remained in | charve of the vessel directed Captain M. C. | itchie to saul for the mouth of the Rainy | tiver. The captain started for that port, | but changed his course unknown to the officer, and when in British water once more he politely invited the Americans to board a small steam launch which he had | towed behind.

The matter will now have to be set- tled between tho departments at Washing- | | ton and Ottawa. | | e 4 DESPERATE LOVEK, | | | Prevented From Committing Murder and | | Suicide by Detretives. | WICHITA, Kaxs., July 6.—Miss Fanny | Minnick of Paola, Kans., came to this city last week to escape the unwelcome atten- | tions of August Mietzer, a young German | wbo bad been employed on her father's | farm. Mietzer fell in love with Miss Min- nick and so annoyed her that he was ais- | charged. He still obtruded his atientions on her, and when she came to Wichita he decided to foilow. He bought a revolver | and an _engagement ring, and confided to | a friend that he was going to win her or | kil her and then kill himself. Miss Min- | nick was warned of the danger, and to-day when he entered the Wichita postoffice, where he had arranged to meet her, de- | tectives arrested him. He was fined '$100 | for carrying a concealed weapon. The | Minnicks are prominent and wealthy. | e e LYNCHED BY A MOB., | Fate of the Colored Assailant of the ! Buxton Family. | ROCKVILLE, Mp., July 6.—Sidney Ran- | olph, colored, who was confined in Mont- | gomery County Jail here for a brutal | | assault upon the Buxton family of | | Gaithersburg, made June 25, as a result of | which Sadie Buxton, the nine-year-old | | daughtar, died, was taken from jail early | | Saturday morning by a mob of twenty or ; thirty people and hanged. Randolph pro- | | tested his innocence. The mob was well | organized and the entire affair was con- | ducted gnier.l_v and quickly. The motive | | for Randolph’s assault upon the Buxton | family has never been learned, but it is | generally believed it was done in revenge | for Buxton’s testimony in a case against | a friend of Randolph's. a e ALL HOPE ABANDONED. | Oruel Trick of One of the Twin Shaft HKescuers, WILKESBARRE, Pa., July 6.—The ex- citement attending the Twin Shaft catas- trophe was by no means abated by the | report last night that rappings from the imprisoned men had been heard. An- | other thorough investigation was made | last night, and it was finally learned that John Owen did the tapping to encourage | the miners at work. Owen belonged to | one of the shifts and was promptly dis- charged. At 1o'clock this morning the rescuers encountered a large rock and very little | progress was made. All hope of finding | any one alive has been abandoned. | ey e e | Went to the Dance of Death, ALLTANCE, NEsr., July 6—W. H. | Hubbell, a wealthy stockn.an of this place, | attended a dance at Lakeside last night | and was found near the railroad track | early this morning breathing his last. A | deep wound, presumably made by a blow | from a revolver on ti.e back of the head, | caused death. It is supposed that revenge | was the motive. He was brought to this | city this morning. There is little clew to the murderer. S Fourteen Prisoners Escape. GUTHRIE, O. T., July 6.—The guards in the United States jail were overpowered late last night and fourteen prisoners es- capea.

Being Unable to Secure Return of Their Money a Riot Results. MANY HEADS ARE CRACKED. Grand Stand Razed, Track and Fences Demolished and General Havoc Wrought. MINNEAPOLIS, Mi~N., July 6.—For a couple of hours to-night this city was given over to mob rule and as a result many people were injured, including sev- eral policemen. The trouble arose during a female bicycle race. The management, without previous announcement, raised the price of admission from 25 cents to $1 25, and when the time for starting arrived the star attraction, Dottie Farns- worth, the champion woman rider of the world, was not visible, but was detained at her home 2s a result of illness. The crowd refused to allow the race to | proceed and demanded their nioney back. The treasurer had, however, departed with the receipts, and when this fact was ascertained the riders were pulled bodily from their wheels, the track was covered with tacks and broken glass, and the office was broken into by a couple of thou- sand enraged and defrauded people. ‘When they discovered that there wasno money in sight they took their revenge out by tearing up the track,.razing the grand stand, ripping fences down, smash- ing several buildings into kindling-wood and doing all the damage possible. A mob alarm was turned into police headquarters and a platoon of fifty police- men was sent to the spot. During the clearing of the grounds several people were badly injured, including three po- licemen, who were struck on the head with bricks. Finally order was restored and the injured men were removed to their homes. Action will be taken to-morrow against the management, which includes several prominent people, charging them with ob- taining money under false pretenses. THKEE FRIENDS. Tnited States Crwiser Fails to Overtake the Filibuater. KEY WEST, Fra., July 6.—The steamer Three Friends passed here at 9 a. M. pur- sued by the United States cruiser Raleigh. Both vessels were under full steam, the Three Friends being between eight and ten miles ahead of the cruiser. When it CHASING THE | became known tnat a steamer was being chased up the gulf thousands of sympa- thizers rushed down to the beach and to hous-etops to get a view of the brave little filibuster. When first sighted the vessels were a little this side of Sand Key light, and, judging by the volume of smoke com- ing from their smokestacks, were being driven to their utmost capacity. W en off this port the Unitea States warship aine was signaled and the race kept on. nally when the Three Friends came in- side the gulf the Raleigh altered her course, giving up the chase. The reports that the Raleigh fired at the steamer are without foundation. Ll Riddled With Bullets for Rebellion.

THE NEWS OF SAN JOSE Fred Benson Sent to Fargo,N. D., to Identify a Supposed Dunham. Inspector Spencer Orders the Destruc- tion of Cattle Infected With Tubzrculosis. BAN JOSE, CaL., July 6.—Fred T. Ben- son of Santa Clara was deputized by Sheritff Lyndon to-day to go to Fargo, | North Dakota, for the purpose of 1dentify- ing the man arrested there about ten days ago by Detective Bellis on suspicion of be- ing James C. Dunham, the Campbell mur- derer, The picture forwarded by Bellis bears 2 strong resemblance to Dunham and the description fits the murderer, but there is considerable doubt as to the sus- pect being the man wanted. Sheriff Lyn- don laid the matter before the Board of Supervisors and it authorized the Sheriff to send some one who was acqnainted with Dunham to Fargo to identity the captive. The man arrested gave the name of George Dalton and said he came from Boston. He is now servi: a 30-day term in the Fargo jail for stealing a bicy- cle.

Some stable boys were called upon and when there was no response to a call the door of the bedroom was broken in. The girl was found on the bed, life already extinct. A bottle of carbolic acid was close at hand and the burned appear- ance of the girl’'s mouth showed that she bad taken a large swallow of it. No cause is known for the act, unless it was that the girl was desponaent over a slight re- proof by Mrs. Burke for some carelessness in ber work. Coroner Secord will hold an inquest upon the remains to-morrow. H SR D A, DISEASED CATTLE KILLED. Inspector Spencer Stamping Out Tuber- culosix on the Ranges. SAN JOSE, Cav., July 6.—The reportof City and County Veterinary Spencer for the month of June shows that he inspected 361 head of cattle and subjected them to the tuberculine test. Of these 52 showed the necessary reaction and were con- demned; 46 autopsies confirmed the reli- ability of the tests. The report shows that about 1414 per cent of the cattle are affected with tuber- culosis. He recommended that a place be set apart for slaughtering such con- demned animals, and condemned the prac- tice of allowing owners to bury the dead stock in their fields, as the germs of dis- ease woula become distributed. e Ex-Officer Horn Goes Free. SAN JOSE, Car., July 6. —The examina- tion of ex-Policeman John Horn on a charge of extortion preferred by Mrs. Mamje Ketchum took place before Justice Gass to-day and resuited in the discharge of the defendant.

Comp'ainant Is His Mother-in-Law, Against Whom H Lodges Counter Charges. SAN RAFAEL, CaL., July 6.—Gossipers are busy over a new outbreak of domestic trouble in a family that has figured some- what conspicuously for the past eighteen months in the divorce court, and whose discords have furnished toothsome mor- sels tor scandal-lovers. Two Justices of the Peace have enlarged their dockets this | week, Justice Gardner with a complaint | from Auditor Benson charging Mrs. Gass, his former wife’s mot..er and the grand- | mother of his little son, with using foul | language. The hearing was cut short by | the lady pleading guirty and the imposi- tion of a light fine, which was promptly | paid. Thnis was only the aftermath of a case | before Justice Rodden, brought by Mrs. | Gass, who charged Benson with assault | and battery. The wife about a year ago obtained a divorce, securing §100 alimony and the custody of her son, 4 years old, | the husband to have certain priviliges of | visiting the boy. Recorder Benson has always charged his troubles to the mother-in-law, and the | latest strife was with her. The wife and mother have made much of the fact that | the Recorder’s assistant in his office was a | young lady, whom they regard with evi: dent disfavor. On Friday evening last | Benson, in company with Miss Jones, the assistant, was passing the house where his former family lived. Mrs. Gass stood by the gate. He says she vilified the young lady. Greatly an- gered he vave the mother-in-law a slap in the tace, whereupon the trouble nccurred which is to be ventilated in court. The woman resented the blow by going for him witn a Sharkey hug, which he re- sisted by pushing and such tactics as wou'd offset a woman’s onslaught. The | rties differ materially as to the injuries nflicted. Mrs. Gass thinks she was knocked down and fears that two of her ribs are broken, besides other injuries. Benson says he only pushed her away to prevent her from clawing his face. gt SANTA ROSA AFFRAY. Court Reporter Hall's Chinese Cook. As- saulted in the Residence of His Employer. SANTA ROSA, Car., July 6.—Court Re- porter George Hall of this city was awak- ened about 2 o'clock Sunday moruing by what sounded to him like a highbinder war. Mr. Hall hurriedly sought the room of his Chinese cook, where he found, en- gaged in a bloody battle, the cook and a strange Chinaman. The stranger had a large but dull hatchet, which he had used with great effect upon the domestic. After a struggle Hall succeeded in securing the would-be murderer with a rope and de- livering him to a police officer. The object of the attack was robbery, and the robber had entere:t the room dur- ing the cook’s absence and there awaited his uneuspecting countryman’s return. The first biow of the hatetet cut deep into | the cook’s neck and the second laid his | scalp open for several inches. Only the gullness of the hatchet prevented a mur- er. It is believed that the two had been gambling, and that the cook made a large winning, while the other lost enough to make him desperate. Being familiar with his more lucky companion’s quarters, he laid his plans to recoup by murder and Tobbery. ——— LOS ANGELES ASSESSMENT. An Inerease of Sixteen Million Dollars Over ihat of Last Xear. LOS ANGELES, Car., July 6.—County Assessor Summerland to-day turned over the new assessment books fur 1896 to the County Board of Equalization. “We have not completely segreguted the accounts of the assessment,’’ said the Assessor, ‘‘but in round numbers the assessment of prop- erty in the county is §98,500,000. The rail- road assessment last year was $2,225,000, soeven if the railroad assessment remains at that figure it will make the total as- sessed valuation of the county about $100,- 700,000. The county assessment last year was $82,200,000. The increase this year is, in round numbers, $16,200,000.” gt A Swicide at Seattle.

EQUINE CONTESTS ON NAPA'S' TRACK, Auspicious Opening of the Agricultural Society’s Meeting. JEFFE'S EASY VICTORY. Captures the 2:40 Trot in Straight Heats Without Being Extended. PRINCE BISMARCK IN FRONT. Promise Me, a Good Thing in the Pace, Beaten by the German- Named Horse. NAPA, CaL, July 6.—After a nocturnal | sleep of one year the Napa County Agri- | cultural Society again threw open the gates of its pretty park to circuit travelers | and the inhabitants of the valley to what | promises to be its greatest race m eet. Over 250 horses are at the track, with stable accommodations for but 200. Visitors are arriving on every incoming train and boat, and the hotel proprietors and boarding-house keepers are in high glee at the prospect of the rich harvest. On this, the opening day, the gate was free to the public with a small admission | fee charge for seats in the grandstand. When the old gentleman familiarly spoken of as Sol, who has the contract for | supplying this earth with heat, poured | bis scorching rays down on the lovely | valley this morning he evidently intended | overcoats and ulsters to be a superfluity, | for the day bid fair to be a scorcher. { But as racing time at the track drew nigh a cooling breeze that fanned the faces of the pretty women and their escorts in the grand stand made perfect weather for light harness sport. Handsome turnouts, crowded with the elite of Napa, lined up | in the in-field, and the rural visitor with his buckboard was quite as well repre- sented. In the judges’ stand were F. W. Loeber, E. H. Winship and C. L. La Rue, and |3 their rulings, which were just and impar- tial, cave satisfaction to all. Starting Judge McNair was on hand with his flag, and his work, which was a revelation to | local race-goers, is the talk of Napa. D. McVicker and Pete Brandow did the clerking. ‘While the sport was excellent, it had a | tendency to drag and become tiresome, | and less bickering and more punctuality | would tend to hold the crow(f until the | final heat was decided. Two events—the | 2:40 trot and the 2:25 pace—formed the | card. Notuine of a sensational character marked either race. The trot was called first. but proved a | the talent considered it a “‘moral” for Jeffe. Pool-seller Leach found it ditficult to get $6 for the field, $3 lor Clay S and $3 for Hunyadi against the $10 bid for tae favorite. He won in straight heats with- out effort in 2:2037, 2:20 and 2:1814. He trotted the second quarter in the second heat at a 2:10 clip, and is confi- dertly expected to lower the colors of the | Fresno horse, Homewaurd, when they meet | on Friday, Alias gained second money | and Faro Bank third. The 2:25 pace was a much better specu- lating affair. The closing pools before the first heat was trotted so:d: Field $10, Promise Me was the hot tip for the heat, and the wise ones backed him off the board of the solitary layer of odds. In a close finish Lafferty managed to land the heat with the good thing by a neck from Sam H in 2:164. | The latter, on his good showing the last 100 yards, was now in great demand, | bringing $10 against $6 for the field, with | few fiuyers of the latter end. | The favorite and Prince Bismarck, the German-named horse hauling a green sulky, passed Resort as he went to a break on the bend for the wire and fought the rl‘umst out, Sam winning quite easily in 2:18, It looked all over now and Sam H sold for $20, with the balance going for $3 or $4. | It was not Sam’s day to shine, thouch, for the German horse hauling the green sulky, driven by a driver wearing an emerald-colored coat and carrying a chain instead of a whip, took the heat by two lengths in 2:21}£, after leading from the word go. The Prince now had the call, and he took the fourth heat in 2:1914, with Sam H again second. The concluding heat of | the race, the fiith, was the most exciting | of the afternoon. In agreat drive from | the head of the home stretch, McDonald got Prince Bismarck home a head before Sam in 2:20. Trotting, 2:40 class: 3 in 5: purse $700.

All did starts and short bursts. 7 S Yale made one or two starts in the morn- ing, when they did not get off as weil as usual. They were slow in getting away, were irregular and did great splashing. In the evening they had a better start, but they seem sure to be led at the first by the Leanders, who are very smart at start- ing. The Yale men, however, quickly set- tle down to their work. The New College crew are also good starters. They took a spin this afternoon with the Radley College crew, who are entered for the ladies’ challenge plate, and went away from them in an easy style that was much admired. The Leanders had a race with the Eton Colleze crew. who are also entered for the ladies’ challenge plate. The latter did beiter than was expected, but the Lean- | ders easily hela them. The Thames crew are likely to be formidable and also the Trinity Hall crew. The winuer of the heat between the first | Trinity and London Rowing clubs will be | dangerous in the finals if the wind should favor them. Dr. McDowell, though he has not yet rowed the half course, hus shown great speed, and it is not unlikely that he will win some of the heats for the diamond sculls. He will give his best competitors a good race. Rupert Guinness and Vivian Nickalls are in prime condition. The lat- ter sculls better than ever. = All the crews are healthy. A most bri liant and successful meeting is anticipated. All things being equal, the Leander crew has the consensus of preference over Yale, altiough the former may be defeated by the New College crew. T EASTERN 1URF EVENTS.

First Infantry Bluecoats on an Outing Near Stockton. GAYETY AND DISCIPLINE Though on Pleasure Beant, the Men Are Governed by Army Rules. FUN ARQUND THE CAMPFIRES. Visitors Entertained With Music and Story When the Day’s Work Is Ended. STOCKTON, Car., July 6.—A pretty place is Camp Budd, the temporary home of the First Infantry, N.G. C., at Good- water Grove. The companies in camp are | Companr C, Captain J. W. Dumbrell; | Company F, Captain John A. Miller; | Company G, Captain Edgar Sutliff, ?nd | Company K, Captain Thomas J. Cunning- | ham. The battalion came up by boat yes- | terday morning and marched straight to | the grove. Although the battalion is here on an outing strict military discipline is en- forced, and should one of the guardsmen linger too long in saying “Au Revorr, but not Goog-by,” and arrive at camp after 11 o’clock at night he will be assigned quar- ters in the guardhouse. The guarduouse is locatea just at the entrance to the cump and is rather inappropriately designed, in slangy locution, ‘‘the cooler.” There is no ice there, and nothing cooler than the atmosphere, so the Stockton [air ones should not detain the military men after 11 o’clock. The boys at camp are a merry lot, and there will be cala times before the week 18 out. Yesterday afternoon and evening many visitors called and were made wel- come. Next to valiance, gallantry is the most prominent trait of the solier lads, and their grac: on the baliroom floor is second only to their skill in the manual of arms. Last night the tents, all gayly lighted with incandescent lun.ps, presented a sight as pretty as eve could wish to see. After the visitors had left the grove all was hushed. The sentry paced up and down in front of theentrance to the camp, ready to charge upon any intruder, either human or of the mosquito fumily. Many of the guardsmen, who were weary after the parade in the metropolis on the Fourth and tired after their trip hither on the boat, were fast in slumber and seemed to be the envy of the sentry. From the club- house at the grove came the strains of a guitar and 2 mandolin, but nothing save the heroic voice of the stirring bugle would disturb the sleepers. Inthe 240 men in camp there is consid- erable talent which furnishes amuseinent | for the others and makes the evenings pass . - | quickly and pleasantly. The Hawaiian | quartet of Company F fills the. evening: air with the sweet melodies of thre former: domain of Queen Lil. The quartet is com- posed of Sergeant Harry Turten, Corporal . Frank Turton, Sergean:’ Bert Hawks and: Sergeant Budd Hawks. The boys have been in Hawaii and_ while thére learned | the airs with which they are now. delight- ing their friends. In the matter of making fun James Gil- lis is always at home. He was the eud man in a minswrel show,.:and his comic songs are immense. J..L.Tyson: is the Irish comedian of the battalion, and Ed | Shay- enjoys the reputation of being the funny man. He began last night at sup- !per by producing:a big hand saw with which to cut his meat. There are several | musicians, too, and in: all’ there is | dearth of talent.’ | Visitors are welcome at the camp after 10 o'clock in the forenoon, but not'. before that hour.” By that time the miorning routine is over and the tents are maae up for the day. The company. and battalton drills take place trom 7 to 9 o'clock and those interested in the maneuvers may. witness them from the grand stand, From 10 o’clock in the forenoon until 5 ¢'clock in the evening the guardsmen off duty are free to go where they choose, and they are at liberty again after supper until 11 o'clock. The sergeants of Company C gave a smoker .in their tent-last evening, the principal features of the affair being good cigars and good stories, or rather—well, the boys say they were good stories. The smoke kept the mosquitoes away during the night. The guests at the tent were Captains Cunningham, Sutliffe, Dumbrell and Miller; Lieutenant Kinley, Sergeant Skillman of Company K and Hospital Steward Dr. Douglass. no Conflagration at Union. UNION, B. C., July 6.—A fire yesterday destroyed the Williams block, on Third street. three other houses belonging to Leon Hart ana F. Williams, and a- small cottage, the proverty of A. D.
