4 '"HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1896. PORTLAND UNDER CZAR PENNOYER, Ward Politician Methods Adopted by the City's Executive. LABORING FOR BRYAN. Appointive O.ficials Ousted if They Do Not Declare for Free Coinage. VAIN PROTEST OF CITIZENS. Firemen and Policemen Who Oppose the Nebraskan Will Be Made ‘to Resign. FORTLAND, Or., Aug. 5.—Ex-Governor Sylvester Pennoyer, the Demoeratic- Populist Mayor inducted into office on the 1st of July, who gained such National notoriety because of his discourtesies to Presidents Harrison and Cleveland, is already making himseli very odious as chief executive of the city. He has occu- pied his vresent office a little more than a month, and in that short time he has | demoralized the entire municipal govern- ment. Entering upon his duties with no pledges to political parties or person he promised not to revolutionize any of the city departments within his personal jurisdiction unless for good cause, but his cloven hoof already protrudes from be- neath its vestment. Efficiency, length of honorable service in the city government are uo recommendations to him. Heis prostituting his small power to the in- terests of the Democratic-Populistic Presidential candidate. On Monday last Mayor Pennoyer asked Paul Wessinger, one of his recently ap- pointed Fire Commissioners, how he stood upon the silver question. Mr. Wessinger, who is a representative German-American here, replied that he was & sound-money man. Thereupon Pennoyer unceremo- niously asked for the Commissioner’s res- ignation. which was formally accepted this afternoon. The Mayor has impliedly permitted the edict to go forth that no man expressing himself adversely to the principles in- dorsed by Bryan, particularly those per- taining to National finances, shall remain in an office over which he has direct or in- direct control. In other words, he will sacrifice the best business interests of Portland to the subservience of his polit- 1cal hobby. To-day he was asked: *Isit possible that you will allow the silver question to cut a figure in the administra- tion of city affairs?”’ *Usually,” replied he, ‘a2 Mayor sur- rounds himself with men in harmony with himself in city affairs. But now the question is a more serious one, affecting the vitality of the Nation. The question is as to whether the country shall be dominated over by Great Britain or ruled by Americans. Those in favor of the former let them train with tbe British, buc so far as ”’m concerned I want none but Americans on guard.” When Pennoyer appointed his boards of Fire ana Police Commissioners recently he gave the place-hunting public to under- stand that he personally would not inter- fere with their management of those departments, but a well-substantiated re- port was current this afternoon that the Mayor had instructed his commissioners to investigate the political status of each member of these departments and allow none but unquestioned free-silver men to hold their places. In this manneris Pennoyer performing the work of a ward politician for Bryan. Should the programme be executed there will not be a reliable and experiencedjman left on the Police and Fire departments by the close of the current month. This after- noon the fire underwriters sent a volumin- ous protest to the Mayor and the Fire Commissioners against the proposed re- moval of Chief Campbell and other good men in that department. The protest contains a threatening paragraph to the purport that insurance rates will be ele- vated several notches the moment the in- surance agents’ appeal is ignored. This city never was in such a state of agitation because of a Mayor's attitude as at present. GUESTS OF LOS ANGELES. Promotors of the Japanese Steamship Line Confer With Merchants and Manufacturers. LOS ANGELES, Can, Aug. 5. — 8, Asano, president of the Oriental Steam- ship Company of Japan, O. Okawa and 8. Tameaka of Tokio, James R. Morse of Yokohama, A. H. Butler of San Diego and H. C. Bush of San Francisco arrived here from the north this afternoon. Presi- dent Frank of the Merchants’ and Manu. facturers’ Association took charge of the guests and piloted them through the oil- fields, the manufacturing and the resi- dence portions of the city. This evening at a meeting of the asso- ciation President Asano expressed himself asdelighted as well as surprised at what he saw here. In explanation of the project to establish a steamship line direct to Southern California he said that in order to be successful he would require the co- operation of all the people, and that he favored the plan for this country to supply two of four steamers for the trans-Pacific trade, which it was proposed to build up. The remarks of Mr. Asano were fol- lowed by talks from several gentlemen present, including J. H. Stearns, the iron manufacturer; Messrs. Butler, Morse, Frank and Bash. Notwitnstanding the presence of J. M. Crawley of the Southern Pacific, it was remarked that the Santa Fe could be of great service and would co- operate with such an enterprise as these gentlemen contemplated equipping. This was perhaps the most significant remark of the evening and pointed conclusively to San Diego as the American vort for the line. Fiour, iron and cotton were the pro- ducts mostly desired from the new port, wherever established. The party goes to gan Diego to-morrow, and thence to Lon- on. ———— STOCKTON’S GUESTS DEPART.

To-morrow Moss goes to Merced and thence back to San Francisco. Mr. Spalding of the legal department of the Valley road, who is here to get the Stockton subscribers to stock to sign the trust agreement, is meeting with great | success, Thus far none have refused to sign, as that was understood at the time of making the subscriptions. The subscribers here are particularly pleased that the management of the road is willing to stand by the original offer made to Stock- tonians, to pay for their stock in 10 per cent installments. Recently they were notified that they would be expected to pay 80 per cent in one lump, but now this order of Secretary Mackie has been counter- manded, —_—— SUDDEN DEATH AT SAN JOSE. Captain Charles Kinsey Passes Away and Papers Worth a Fortune Are Found in His Trunk, SAN JOSE, CaL., Aug. 5.— Captain Charles Kinsey, a veteran of the late war, died suddenly last evening at the Jeffer- son Hotel of heart disease.

In Kinsey’s trunk were papers showing that he was possessed of property worth $40,000. About $15,000 of his estate con- sists of cash in bank in this city and San Francisco, and the rest is in notes and mortgages. But little is known of Captain Kinsey in this city.

Beats His Field Without Being Extended in the Contest of Youngsters. ESTELLE WILKES’ VICTORY. Five Heats Necessary to Decide the Two-Thirty Class Pace. PETALUMA, OaL, Aug. b5.— The weather to-day was windy and disagree- able, all of which helped to keep the at- tendance av the races down. As the day wore on the dust blew in clouds at the track, clogging the throats of the pool- sellers; the spectators were covered with distant samples of Sonoma County dust, the horses did not warm up well, and altogether the second day of the meet was a disappointment. However, the oldest inhabitant says this sudden freak of the elements is something altogether un- accountable, and the morrow, with the big 2:15 trot as a feature, will undoubtedly draw a big crowd. The running events, captured in turn by Seaside and Two Cheers, were just about as the talent ordered them and there was no “kick’ on that score. Inthe two-year-old trot Ben Chaboya, the Oak- wood stock farm’s gentlemanly and clever reinsman, brought the giant Owyhee out ana the big colt defeated the other four entries as though trotting were a pleasure to him. Lottie Lilac, a game little mare by the Fresno sire, Strathway, was second in each of the heats trotted. It took five heats to decide the 2:30 pace. The betting lagged, with the crowd evi- dently all at seaas tothe winner. The race was finally captured by Estele Wilkes, splendidly handled by ‘‘Mac” Banders, but had young Ed Biddle, who held the ribbons over Bonnie Belle, had more experience on the bike, that mare would probably have annexed the purse for her owner. The time of the five heats paced was 2:211£, 2:19, 2:20, 2:19, 2:22. Just before the last heat was decided Bon- nie Belle changed hands, Dan McCarthy of white hat fame purchasing her for $475. Dick Havey drove her in the last heat and she finished third. The mare is said to be a good one. The opening event was a five-furlong selling scramble, with # miscellaneous as- sortment of ten sprinters facing the flag. Stormy A, a half breed from Calaveras County, ridden by Mike Hennessy, wasa red hot tip, going to the post a strongly vacked second cboice. Seaside, with Sni- | der up, which was at one stage of the bet- tin- as good as 2to 1, finally closed at evens. Sent away well bunched Stormy A soon showed in front and made the run- ning until a furlong from the stand,where he began backing up, and coming strong on the outside the favorite won cleverly by three lengths in 1:03. Of the original eleven entries to the mile handic-g sixaccepted the weightsas- signed by the handicapper. With 94 {munds up and H. Martin in the saddle, Warrago was backed down from 7to 5toa 2 to 3 iavorite, with Fred Gardner, carry- ing top weight (114 pounds) a well fancied second choice at 8 to 5. Nearing post time there was a genteel play on Two Cheers, cutting his price a point from threes. ‘When McNair sent them away well aligned Sanders on Two Cheers sent his mount out for the lead. He gained his Wn, leading until nearing the half, when arrago passed him and showed the way rounding the bend for howme. Squared away for the final issne Two Cheers, closely accompanied by the 23 to 1 out- sider Regan, with 90 ponnds in the saddle, headed Donathan’s mare, and the latter two indulged in a hair-raising finish, in which Snider, through superior jockey- ship, gow his horse past the judge first by a he; in 1:44%4. The favorite was a good third. Running, five furlongs, selling. purse $150— P. Siebenthaler’s ch. m. Seaside, by imp. Mari. ner-Marine (Snider), won; J. Stimpson’s b. g.

RACING IN THE EAST, Wonderfully Fast Time Made in Har- ness Races at Columbus, Ohio. COLUMBUS, Ouio, Aug. 5.—The unusu- ally hot weather resulted in generally fast time being made at the Columbus Driving Park races to-day, but no records were broken. The weather was excellent and the track fast. The average time of the day’s races is probably the best ever made in one duy since harness racing began as asport. The attendance was very large. In the first heat of the 2:25 pace Silk Woodnut fell and was run over by Red Oak, who was just behind. Neither of the horses nor their drivers was badly hurt. Silk Woodnut was distanced, but the other was allowed to remain in therace. The defeat of Clayworth in the 2:09 trot was a surprise, the horse being a universal fa- vorite and winning but one heat. To-morrow is the big day of the season, Joe Patchen, Rubenstein and Robert J going in the free-for-all pace. The horses are on the grounds and in good condition.

COWES, Exa., Aug. 5.—The regatta of the Royal Yacht Squadron, Commodore the Prince of Wales, was continued to- day. The yachts started at 10 o’clock this morning for the squadron’s prize of £100, sailing over the course from Cowes round the East Lepe buoy, thence eastward round the Warner lightship and back to Cowes, a distance of twenty-four miles, twice around. The starters were the Prince of Wales’ Britannia, Emperor William’s Meteor. W. H. Walker's Caress, A. Bar- clay Walker's Ailsa and Mrs. C. Drose’s Satanita. A strong northeast wind was blowing and the start was made in fine style, the yachts going across the line at almost the same time. The wind continued to blow very fresh. When off Ryde, the Meteor, umnF very fast, with everything drawing for all it was worth, carried away her top- mast and bowsprit, which put her out of the race. The Britannia, Satanita and Caress went on the wrong side of one of the mark boats and as this disqualified them they gave up the race.

But an Unusually Large Yield in the New England States Is Report d BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 5.—The American Agriculturist, in its next issue, will pub- lish the following regarding the fruit crops of 1896: Taking the country as a whole, the fruit crops of 1896 may be put down as full ones. While there have been some shortages in the Southern States and also in the territory west of the Rocky Mountains, this fact has not cut much of a figure in the North and East, where yields of the early varieties have been abundant and prospects for later vine and tree fruits good to excellent. Bpecial investigation prosecuted by this journal and & summary of the exhaustive returns from correspondents everywhere show that the older Middle and Eastern States have fared better than sections further West. This is no doubt due in some degree to better attention on the vart of horticulturists. While isolated sections, both East and West, suffered some through winter killing, vines and orchards, as a rule, entered the spring in a healthy condition and subsequently en- joyed “an abundance of moisture and warmth, conducive to plant growth and development. It is a significant fact that where culti- vation and spraying have been most dili- gently and thoroughly foilowed results are best. The home market must be de- pended upon to absorb practically all the fruit crops, with the exeeption of apples, which will no doubt go abroad in consider- able quantities the coming winter, as there is some shortage in Europe. According to reports received the New England States had a most uniform fruit crop, more so than anv other part of the country, The yield in Eastern New York is_large, especially in apples, grapes and some other varieties. There will be alarge surplus of winter apples for export to Europe, these coming into sharp competi- tion with fruit from Canada’s good crop. Returns from the Mississippi and Missouri Valleys are more uneven, but in the aggre- 5;” there will be a liberal fruit cropin the est. #4 NIGHT IN SAUSALITO.” Plans for the Carnival in the Pictur- sque Resort. SAUSALITO, CAL., Aug. 8.—The first| meeting of the executive committee in charge of the preparations for “‘A Night in Sausalito’” was held at the town hall at 8 o’clock this evening.
