THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JULY 26,‘189l6. LABOR LEADERS VIS MckINLEY Delegates to the Convention of Window-Glass Workers. FOUR HUNDRED STRONG. Satisfied With Financial Condi- tions, but Want Protection Restored. THE MAJOR'S POINTED REPLY. Reviews the Country’s Business De. pression and Shows the Only Source of Relief, CANTON, Orio, July 25.—Perhaps the most important delegation which has come to Uanton since the nomination of Masjor McKinley to call upon him was that which arrived this morning from Pittsburg. 1t numbered over 400 and was mede up of delegates to the eighth Na- tional convention of the Window-glass Workers from New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Indians, Ohio, Delaware and Maryland, represent- ing the resl industrial classes in those States and not the politicians or profes- sional laboring men. Their spokesman, Henry Bostwick of Indiana, declared that the issue which appealed most directly, personally and powerfully to the man who works in the factors, foundry or shop, is the tariff. The workingmen who have visited Canton, and they have been here in large numbers, have the notion firmly fixed in their minds that the present tariff law is responsible for their present lack of pros- perity. Mr. Bostwick said on this point: “We want the protective principle re- stored. We are satisfied with the quality of onr dollars, and have no fear as to the volume of our money if the tariff is so regulated and- levied on such principles as to best protect American industries and to insure sufficient funds to meet the neces- sary expenses of the Government.”” This sentiment was the keynote of the speech. When Major McKinley rose to respond he was greeted with prolonged applause and hearty cheers. He saia: “Nothing could be better said than that a great essential to the credit of the coun- try is to provide enough revenue to run the country. The credit of any Govern- ment is imperiled so long as it expends more money than it collects. The credit of the Government, like thatof the indi- vidual citizen, is hest subserved by living within its means and providing means with which to live. Every citizen must know that the receipts of the United States are now insufficient for its necessary ex- penditures and that our present revenue laws have resulted in causing a deficiency in the treasury for almost three years. ‘It has been demonstrated, too, that no relief can be had through the present Congress. The relief rests with the peo- ple themselves, They are charged with the election of a new Congress in Novem- ber. which alone can give the needed re- lief. Ifthey electa Republican Congress the whole world knows that one of its first acts will be to put upon the statute books of the country a law under which the Government will collect enough money to meet its expenditures, stop debts and de- ficiencies and adequately protect Ameri- can labor. [Great cheering and applause.] This would be one of the surest steps to- ward the return of confidence and a re- vival of business prosperity. [Applause.] “The Government, my fellow-citizens, bas not been the only sufferer in the past three years. The people have suffered— the laboring man in his work and wages, the farmer in his prices and markets, and our citizens generally in their incomes and investments. Enforced idleness among our people nas brought to many a man’s home gloom and wretchedness where cheer and hope once dwelled. Both Government and people have paid dearly for a mistaken policy, a policy which has disturbed our industries and cut down our revenues, always so essential to our credit and independence and prosperity. “A new experiment is now proposed; one that would debase our currency and further weaken if not wholly destroy pub- lic confidence. Circumstances, gentlemen, have given to the Republican party at this juncture of our National affairs a place of supreme responsibility and duty. Seldom, if ever, has a political party occupied a post of such high importance as that in- trusted to the Republican party this year. Indeed, it may be confidently asserted that never has any political organization been so_clearly and conspicuously called to do battle for so much that is best in government. But bappily it will not contend alone. It will number among its allies, iriends and supporters thou- | sands of brave citizens and political oppo- nents of the past, who will join our ranks and make common cause in resisting the proposed debasement of our currency, the degradation of our country’s honor, and in upholding the continued supremacy of law and order—this strongest and might- iest pillar of free government. [Greatap- plause.] “The whole country rejoices to-day that the strong and sturdy men who toil are enlisted in the cause of American honor, American patriotism, American produc- tion and American prosperity—a cause whick must surely win before the great tribunal of the American people.” [Tre- mendous applause.] Major McKinley had & unique call this afternoon. A party of Baltimore and Ohio Railway officials, with half a dozen well.known citizens of Canton, drove up to the McKinley residence in a tally-ho. Behind the tally-ho was an express wagon and in 1t was a huge yilded basket con- taininz a big watermelon. Judge Baldwin of Canton presented the melon to Major McKinley on behalf of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad employes. It came from Georgia, and was obtained through the efforts of N. W. Mitchell of the Baltimore and Onio, who offered a prize for the two largest melons grown there this year. One was presented to Major McKinley and the otber is to be presented to Mr. Bryan. The Baltimore and Cbio em- ploves authorized Judge Baldwin to say for them that they would support him in the Noveniber election. i AR B To Take a Brief Rest. CLEVELAND, Onto., July 25.—Major McKinley arrived in Cleveland at 6:30 e. ». and went at once to Chairman Hanna’s house. He will remain in Cleve- land until Tuesday afternoon, and does not expect to leave Mr. Hanna's residence except 10 call on his sister to-morrow and to review the bicycle parade Monday. R ERERTIR ENCOURAGING REPORTS. Men From Various Sections Tell How McKinley Will Carry the Country. CHICAGO, Iry., July 25.—Congressman J. W. Babcock of Wisconsin, who is chair- man of the Republican Congressional Committee, spent part of to-day at the party’s campaign headquarters, conferring with Chiel Heath and Committeeman Dawes and giving them interesting in- formation. He saia that for the last month three ot the biggest printing establishments in Philadelphia and Baltimore had been working their presses night and day turn- ing out millions of Congressional docu- ments on the currency question, fizures, statistics, etc., in leaflet and pamphlet form to meet the unpreceaented demand from all the States in the Union. All these documents were distributed under the Congressional franking privi- lege and Congressman Babcock declared that never had there been such a demand for public documents in a campaign. A prominent caller was ex-Governor Merriam of Minnesota, He said cam- paign speeches were already working his State, which he placed in the sure Repub- lican column by 2 majority of 40,000. To a United Press reporter he said that Congressman Towne, the bolting Repub- lican from the Sixth (Duluth) District, would run independent and that the Re- publicans have nominated a man who would beat him on the silver issue—Judge Page Morris, a Virginian. Henry T. Oxnard, the sugar-beet grower in Nebraska, who is also interested in the sugar-cane industry in Louisiana, was also avisitor at headquarters. Heisa Re- publican, but his brothers are Democrats. He told Mr. Heath that one-third of the farming people in Nebraska were directly | interested in the beet-sugar industry, and | that one-half of the people were affected | by the anti-sugar bounty legislation of the | last Democratic Congress. Mr. Oxnard’s belief was that this sugar element would control the bounty question, and would result 1n Louisiana’s electoral vote being given to McKinley. S NATIONAL SILVER PARTY. Work of the Committee Completed With an Appeal for Bryan and Subscriptions to the Cause. ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 25.—The National Committee of the National Silver party completed its work to-day and adjourned subject to the call of Chairman Lave of California. On motion of Mr. Baker of California it was decided to recommend to the notifica- tion committee that Mr. Bryan be notified in Baltimore of his selection as the candi- date of the National Silver party. The following address to the people, drafted by Mr. 8t. Jonn, was unanimously adopted: OF THE NATIONAL SILVER PARTY, St. Louls, Mo., July 24, 1896. To the American People : Inasmuch as it has been charged upon the National Silver party assembled in St. Louis that we are a conven- { tion of repudiators, revolutionists and an- | archists we submit the following to the candid judgment of the people: In our delegations are 4 veterans of our Mexican War, 49 -Confederates and 1 196 Union army veterans of the late war. Of the 731 delegates attending 9 are Prohibition- ists, 49 are Populists, 146 are Democrats and 526 are Republicans. Under this composition of the convention ‘we appeal to all true patriots, without regard to previous party afiiliations, to vote for Hon. William J. Bryan for President and Hon. Arthur S8ewall for Vice-President of the United States. A resultof their election will be the restoration of the free coinage of silver on equal terms with gold, providing thereby a volume of money which will tend to dissemi- nate rather than to sggregate wealth, which will relieve the present profound depression and replace it with a wide prosperity. We urge you to unite upon this ticket as your sole hope of escape from the rigorsof s grinding of & gold monopoly. Ours isa poor man’s campaign. We there- fore call for contributions toward legitimate expenses, the same to be sent to William P. St. John, treasurer, st 121 East Thirty-fourth street, New York City. Contributions of §1 or more will be regularly acknowledged. FVE HOURS' FIGHTING Spaniards Claim to Have Cap- tured a Rebel Hospital and Two Wounded Men. NATIONAL COMMITTEE 2 Consul-G:neral Lee Will Demand a Civil Trial for an Ameri- can Prisoner. HAVANA, Cuga, July 25.—Major Fon- daviella officially reports that his com- mand has had a five hours’ engagement with the rebels under Mirabel and Al- varez, near Tapaste. The troops took a rebel hospital and captured two wounded insurgents. The rebels were compelled to retreat. They left eighteen dead on the field and carried off many wounded. The Spaniards lost only seven wounded. Pursuant to instructions received from ‘Washington, Consul-General Lee will re- quest that a civil trial be granted to Jorge Aguire, who was captured in a small boat while on his way to surrender to the authorities here. Aguirre is a naturalized | American citizen, who took part in the in- surrection. A PRy TWELVE FiLIBUSTERS SROT. Fate of a Band of Men Who Landed From the Three Friends. CHICAGO, ILL., July 25.—A special from Key West says: Twelve of the filibusters landed in Cuba by the steamer Three Friends have been killed by the Span- iards, according to letters received here. The filibusters, with the arms and ammu- nition, were landed at a point east of Havanas A small band of insurgents was in waiting and took the arms into the mountains. The filibusters, of whom there were nearly 100, were told to waita few hours and guides would be sent to conduct them to the insurgent camp. While waiting they were discovered by a Spanish column. The filibusters fled into the forests and for four days were without food. On the fifth day, after some had died of heat and exhaustion, thev me<t some insurgent scouts, who un- dertook to zuide them to a place of safety. Soon after meeting the scouts they ran &nbfl: Spanish column and were gol to eath. Gabriel Officiall and Louis Paroll of Ke; West and John Floyd of Columbus, Ga.y. and Pearce Atkinson, who is related to & Jacksonville family, were among the killed. Officiall, Fioyd and Atkinson were younr Americans. Atkinson, it is said, hasrelatives in lllinois. The names of hbe rodunr eight men killed bave not been ea The other members of the expedition eluded the Spaniards and after great suffer- ing reached an insurgent camp, LATE GOSSP OF OTHAM Penurious Tactics of the Widow of John Jacob Astor’s Partner. Another Shade of Life in the Metrop- olis Shown by the Starvation of a Femily. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 25.—Though aged and well-to-do, Antoinette L. Scher- merhorn, widow of the Rev. Dr. John Schermernorn and daughter of the orig- inal John Jacob Astor’s former partner, was examined as a judgment debtor yes- terday in proceedings supplementary to a judgment of $1389 for legal services by Erastus Benn, for a long time her confi- dential attorney. She submitted to the lawyer's questions with had grace, and it was only after the most rigid examination, which established her ability to satisfy the judgment, that she consented to pay and the proceedings closed. Mrs. Schermerhorn’s father, Francis L. Lasak, who early in the century was in the fur business with John Jacob Astor I, left $5,000,000, but cut the daughter off with a life interest in $30,000, leaving the residue of his estate to his eight other children. Mrs. Schermerhorn’s contest of the will ended in a compromise by which she re- ceived almost as much as each of her brothers and sisters. Despite her comfortable income Mrs. Schermerhorn pays only $6 a week for her furnished rooms at 850 Eighth avenue, and breakfasts, dines and sups at restau- rants. Mrs. Schmerhorn stated that she had $50,000 with the Brooklyn Trust Company and $30,000 with a similar corporation, and that she received $1200 & year from the latter investment. “How much do you pay for your board ?”’ “I pay $6 a week for my room. I eat where I please. Why, do you know, there was a stretch of seven weeks when I had only Indian meal to eat, with lard on it, and once I had only one meal in seven days.” A sad case of misery and starvation came to lizht at Westfield, N. J., yester- day. The family of Harry Edwards were found in the most destitute circumstances, the wife and mother confined to her bed by illness and the four children hungry and in rags. For two or three days the peovle pass- ing the Wittkes building on Broad street had detected the odor of chicken broth, and when some one remarked upon it, lit- tle Mary Edwards said she made broth for her mother, who was sick. This led a neighbor to call, and there in the Ed- wards tenement lay the woman, very ill, the room desolate and she on her bed, barely covered with a filthy horse blanket and with an old calico waist for a night robe. For montbs she had worked eigh- teen and twenty hours a day to keep the wolf from her children’s throats, until at last she could work. no longer. The hus- band and father, dissolute and depraved, had done nothing for his family, and the mother, forbidding her children to tell of their circumstances, had finelly taken to her bed, exhausted and unable to repel disease. The children with no food and the mother sick, had gone to the rear of the meat markets and there had wrested from the cats and dogs chickens’ heads and Tegs, and had made broth for their mother | and themselves. Charitatle Xeople at | once provided for the family and called a phhysici-n, dwards is a man of education. His father, a farmer of wealth, was angered st his marriage with a poor country girl, and | in a quarrel the father shot the son in the eye. From that time he has been sup- | ported by the brave wife. { There will be no boxing contests at the | Surf Athletic Ciub, at Coney Island, to- | night. Mayor Wurster of Brooklyn has taken an appeal from the decision of Jus- tice Osborne of the Supreme Court, which ordered him to grant a first-class theater license to the club. The appeal will not be heard before October; but, as Justice Osborne granted a mandamus, the appeal will not act as a stay, and, pending the final decision, the club may get its license temporanly. To accomplish this, if possible, Justice Osborne, on the application of the club, | has given an order directing Mayor War- | ster 10 show cause why he shouid not be | punished for contempt for disobeying the | mandamus. | Manager Hamilton of the American Roof Garden, and Hope Booth, the actress, called at Jefferson Market Court yesterday morning and furnished $500 baii each on the charge of giving an immoral per- formance. Their attorney asked that their case be sent to the General Sessions, in order to secure a trial by jury. It will probably be heard on Monday. The Sun says: The wedding of Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr. and Miss Grace Wilson and the wedding of Harry Payne Whitney and Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt will take place very soon. Thedates will be fixed as soon s Cornelius Vanderbilt 8r. has recovered his health. He will go to Newport this summer, in all probability, but will remain at his home during his convalescence. —_—— DIABOLICAL PLOT FRUSTRATED. Mutineer Plans to Murder His Captain and Fire the Vessel's Cargo of Petroleum. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 25.—A Son special from Baltimore says: The story of a plot to murder the cap- tain ana set fire to the British oil-tank steamship Hotham Newton, which sailed from Baltimore for Amsterdam several days ago, was told in shipping circles here yesterday. The steamer carried a cargo of petroleum. The instigator of the plot is said to have been an English sailor who felt aggrieved at the treatment he had re- ceived at the hands of Captain Thomas Anderson of the steamer. Captain An- derson discovered the plot justin time to | defeat it and put the man in irons. It hed | been planned to kill the captain with an | iron bar as he lay asleep in his berth and then set fire to the ship, laden with pe- troleum, to destroy all evidence of guilt, Owing to the fact that the vessel was ready for sea when the plot was discoy- ered and to have prosecuted the mutineer would have delayed her sailing by de- taining her officers, the man was taken before British Consul Coates by Captain Anderson and discharged without being paid. Hedenied the charges, but several of the crew testified he had revealea his scheme to them and had tried to induce them to assist in carrying it out. Instead of so doing they reported the matter to the captain and the man was immediately put under arrest and heavily manacled. —_— YARDE-BULLEE DIVORCE CASE, General Denial of Plaintiff’s Charges and Counter Charges He Made, LONDON, Exa., July 25,—The Yarde- Buller divorce action was resumed this morning by the opening of the case for the defense. Counsel for Mrs. Yarde- Buller made a general denial of allega- tions on the part of the defendant, and said that the delense would prove that the lady was not addicted to drink, as alleged. Counsel also declared that Mrs. General Kirkham, mother of the defendant, had sentValentine Gadesden, who is mentioned as co-respondent, to Eugland to protect the interests of her daughteragainst the latter’s husband. Testimony was then of- fered to show that Mr, Yarde-Buller was guilty of misconduct. THE EMPORIUM. CLEARING SALETI Optical Department. Fine Opera Glasses, Shocle .
