S GROVE JOHNSON OPPOSED The Congressman Accused of Vio- | lating His Pledges Made Before Electlion. The following communication has been addressed to the Republican Nominating Convention of the Second Congressional District: To_the . Republican Nominating Convention of the Second Comgressional District—GENTLEMEN: On the 16th of July a meeting of the Commit- | tee of Flity was held in this City to consider how best to_aid in the election of members of Congress who are firmiy opposed to the in- iquitous scheme to refund the debtsof the Pacific railroads. That committee, at a sec- ond meeting held on the 23d oi July, ap- pointéd the undersigned a sub-committee to prepare an address to the people of the several Congressional districts, urging the nomiuation of candidetes who will resist all refunding chemes and spare no exertions to procure the foreclosure of the mortgages on the railroads. In pursuance of that duty we respecifully sub- mit the following facts to the consideration of the Republican nominating convention of the cond Congressional District, which is to be id at Sscramento on the 12th inst., to name successor to the Hon. Grove L. Jobnson, who present represents the district. We should oth to interfere in the local concerns of » | Caiifornia.” | structed out of pure love for California. the present Congress on the vital guestion under consideration. It has been the one cons spicuous break in the California line on the subject of raiiroad domination. At the same time there is no Congressional district in the State which has & more overshadowing inter- estin its overthrow. The sentiment of the dis- trict appears to have been plain enough. When it nominated Mr. Johnson for the place he now fills it pledged him t0 oppose the form &1 refunding that was at the time under_con- efzdennon in Congress, known as the Reilly unding bill. Mr. Johnson freely gave the pledge exacted of him, But the Reilly bill did’ Dot Some D in the session of Congress of ; ich he was a member. Another, called the owers t‘.iud had been substituted for it. That scheme did not get further than the com- iltee stage at the last session. But it Will come up at the session which will commence in December. If the Reilly bill was bad the Powers bill, which has taken its place, is simply infamous, The Reilly bill Provided for the payment of the debts of the Tailroads in fifty years at the rate of 3 per cent interest. The Powers bill extends the time in -One case to eighty-four years and in the sec- ond to eighty-six yesrs, with interest st the Tate of 2 percent. Furthermore, the Reilly bill provided that in the time stated the first- morigage bonds of the two ronds—the Central and Union Pacific—should be extinguished. The Powers bill makes no provision at all on ihe subject. Of this latter measure Mr. John- son nas been an active supporter in commit- tee. His method of keeping his pledges must be said to be peculiar. He did not support the Reilly biil, jor there was no Reilly bill to support. But he lent, according to general Teport, all the ass.stance in his power to 8 measure that is infinitely worse. Of him Re resentative Maguire said in & speech at & pu lic meeting in this City: “Mr. Johnson was persistent from the begin- ning in delending the Pacific failroad people 8gainst every assault that was made by repre- sentatives of California; in endeavoring to confuse and contradict the statements of Cali- forniaus, in demanding of them that they pro- duce their proofs, and in every way workingas encrgetically for refunding 8¢ i1 he were a fep- Tesentaiive of the Central Pacific instead of being & representative of the people of Cali- fornia.” Under a defection so brazen and unblushing there can be no possibility of the re-election of Mr. Johnson, even if the Republicans of his district should be so shortsighted as to renom- inate him. The Democrats of the Gistrict have slready nominated a candidate who is gener- ally well spoken of and who indulges in no backing and filling on the question of refunding. If the Powers bill, which Mr. Johnson boldly = advocates, had its proper title it wouid read: “An act to transfer the debts of C. P. Huntington and his associates to the shoulders of the people of The proposition 1810 saddle the latter with the $70,000,000 (less the sinking fund) due the General Government, the $28,000,000, in_round numbers, of first-mort- gage bonds,and the $60,000,000 or thereabouts oi stock. This is a mountain of debt sufficient to appall any State, and especially one so sparsely settled as California. If the Legisla- ture should propose to tie a milistone of that enormous weight around the neck of the com- monwealth, we should soon_have positive in- surrection on our hands. But Mr. Hunting- ton, by the assistance of such men asGrove L. Johnson, proposes to handicap our progress for tnree generations by this imposition of enormous debt, which we do not owe, without as much as asking our leave. Indeed, his hire- lings and lackeys everywhere proclaim that it isonly snarchists and henroost robbers who seek 10 balk his gentle intentions toward us. The enormous obligations which Mr. Hunt- | ington proposes to shed were not necessarily incurred in building the Central Pacific Rail- road. They were incurred in & series of pyro- technical financial operatious intended solely for his and his associates’ benefit. They got more money and land from the General Gov- ernment thgn sufficient to build the railroad, which they would have us believe they _con- Next, y shoved aside the Government lien aud sued to themselves 28,000,000 of first mort- gage bonds, constructed a railroad of their own called the t route.

In the endeavor to capture some sneak- thieves who have been pilfering the tents of campers in Baltimcre Canyon, about a hali mile from Larkspur,, Wednesday evening about twenty shots were fired, and at least one man was hit by a bullet, as the traces of blood he left behind him show. Larkspur is a very popular camping | ground for those who desire a summer outing, and this summer about 100 tents are pitched there. There are in all nearly 1000 perscns in the little white city. For about a week the campers have missed various sums of money, valuable pieces of jewelry and other smail, pqfl.able articles. The amount of coin lost in this manner aggregates more than $200, to say nothing of the other things taken. In many cases the tents have been slit with a knife to afford ingress and egress. As a result, the women and children have been in a state bordering on hysterics for several days. Weanesday evening a lady named Craig rushed from her tent, screaming that a man had just cuta large hole in the tent close to. where she lay in bed. Several men seated at a short distance round a fire at once rushed toward the tent, but the invader bad fled. His footfalls and the crashing of brush indicated the direc- tion in which he was running. The men at once rushed to their own tents for arms, and headed. by Willam Maxwell with a revolver, a gentleman named Martin, who possessed a shotgun heavily loaded with buckshot, and Robert D. Duke, armed with a small parlor rifle, at once made off in active pursuit. The fleeing men, for the thief had evi- dent!y been joined by several companions, headed their course up the canyon. At one time they were surrounded on three sides. Then it was that the shooting began. The pursuing posse at this junc- ture had several narrow escapes from shooting one another in their excitement. However, the thieves managed to escape into the bills. Diligent search next day revealed traces of blood on the ground and bushes where the shooting had oc- curred. Nothing to reveal the identity of the thieves was found. Last night several of the gentlemen in camp sat up all nifiht waiting for the thieves to return. Evidently they were satisfied with their exparience of the night before for no one showed up. It is beiieved that the malefactors are | wandering peddlers, many of whom have lately been seen in the vicinity. —_———— Frederick Warde to Lecture.

Much of the success of the banquet was due to James Hagan, who assisted Mr. Conolley on the banquet committee. This “rising sun’’ the council fires will be lighted for the last time this year. The main business before the Red Men and the Degree of Pocahontas is the advancing or installation of the chiefs and the selection of a meeting place for the next council. The latter proposition has not been ex- tensively discussed yet, though many places have been suggested. & The council drawing to a close is consid- ered by members and representatives one of the most successful in the history of the order. “ELLA D.” DISCOVERED. The Author of the Letter to the Coroner Was Ella David- son. The mystery of who “Ella D.” is that wrote the letter to the Coroner saying that her body would-be found in the bay at the foot of Fillmore street is possibly cleared up.

The new medical certificate was among the matters which engaged the attention of the council. After considerable discus- sion i1t was decided to refer it to the ad- visory board with power 1o act. All de- cisions made by the great sachem during the great sun were approved. Five new tribes were admitted into the order, charters being granted as follows: Shawnee No. 83, Woodland ; Pottawatomie No. 84, Haywards; Kiowa No. 85, San Francisco; Minewawa Council No. 17, de- gree of Pocahontas. Considerable interest was manifest in awarding the $100 trohpy for the best ren- dition of the adontion work before the Great Council on Tuesday evening. The demonstration of Modoc Tribe No. 57 was decided to be the -most meritorious, but resolutions were adopted voicing the ap- preciation of the Great Council upon the excellent manner in which Arapaboe and Montezuma tribes performed the work. A question having arisen as to the limi- tation of the finance committee’s power it was decided that the committee had a right to examine the records at any time. A proposition to recommend a condensa- tion of the degree ritual was defeated. The minimum weekly sick benefit was placed at five fathoms (dollars). In the council of the Daughters of Po- cahontas the *‘rising sun” was devoted to listening to the wisdom of the great chiefs as embodied in their reports and in dis- cussing the propositions advanced for ihe good of the councils. At high sun they Ioinsd the braves anad together they posed or a lsnlm raph. uring the setting of the saun the Daughters discussed the proposition to haye a State charter of their own and be independent of the beneficent guidance of the great sachemi. A vote showed that such a course was not favored and the great sachem will continue the protector of the Daugbters of Pocahontas. At nightfall the pale-faced braves and their fair companions assembled at Union- square Hall. They had abont completed their labors, and the evening was to be devoted to making merry. The entire anditorium of the hall was occupied with long tables at which sat about 300 mem- bers of the orders, and guests.

Rob- inson and Attorney Robert Ash Arrested. ALL RELEASED ON ‘"BONDS. Claimed That City Attorney Charles H. Braynard of Redding Is at the ‘ ‘Bottom of the Business. Clyde H. Williams, secretary of & min- ing company owning the Alta group of mines in Shasta County, was arrested yes- terday giternoon by Constable Eldridge of Redding on a Justice’s warrant charging him with a felony, but there was nothing on the warrant to show what the felony consisted of. The comnplaining witness was A. W. Graham, president of the min- ing company. There were also warrants in the con- stable’s possession for the arrest of W. W. Robinson, treasurer of the company, and Robert Ash, attorney for the compal Attorney Ash at once applied to Judge Black for writs of habeas corpus, and they ‘were made returnable before Judge Bahrs to-morrow. Their bonds were fixed at $1000, which were promptly forthcoming. “This is atramped-up charge,” said At- torney Ash last evening. ‘‘We arecharged with forgery, but there is nothing in the world to base the charge upon. “Mr. Robinson has been here for some time with the object of negotiating a sale of the mines to a new corporation. John C. Simons, the capitalist, who died the other day in New York, was arranging to pay off the indebtedness and buy Gra- ham’s interest. Unfortunately his death put an end to that, and we wired to Gra- bham, asking what to do, and he replied to go ahead and make a new deal. “Charles H. Braynard, City Attorney of Redding, has been using his influence upon Graham to get him to place the sale of the mines in his hands, and our arrest on the charge of forgery is the resuit. The forgery is alleged to consist of chang- ing the name of the deed to the new cor- poration, It is typewritten, and how could it be forged? *“J have in my possession documents that will bear out every word that 1 have said.” According to Williams there is another reason for their arrest. “Robinson and I,” said Williams, “are witnesses against Braynard in a criminal case againal him which will come up in the Oakland court to-morrow morning, and Robert Ash is the special prosecutor. “Braynard is charged with grand lar- ceny and I am the complaining witness. About the end of June I was the victim of a footrace to the extent of $500. The race was between Ryan and Mills alias MeDon- ald, and took place in Shell Mound Park. It was a fake and I was out $500. I blame Braynard for putting up the job on me. “It seems to me he had Graham infin- enced by some means or other to swear out the warrants for our arrest on this trumped up charge, so that when his case came up to-morrow 1aorning we would not be there to give our testimony. But we will be there. “I am exceedingly surprised at Gra- ham’s action. Robinson and I own two- thirds interest in the mines, and we have consulted in everything regarding the formation of the new corporation. Every- thing we have done has met with his dp- proval, as letters and telegrams in Mr. Ash’s possession will show.” —— WITHDREW THE DELEGAES A Big Break in the Ranks of the Building Trades Council. y. Two Large Carpenters’ Unions De- cided to Attend to Their Own Business. The Building Trades Council sustained 8 heavy loss last evening by the with- drawal of the delegates from Carpenters’ and Joiners’ unions Nos. 22 and 483, Upon assembling C. W. Page and Harry Saunder of Union No. 22 announced that they had been witbdrawn from the coun- cil, as well as R. H. McVicker, who was not present. George McCloud, John Grabam and A. 0. Arthur of No. 483 made the same state- ment, and the five left the room. Arthbur was the secretary of the council, and J. 'W. Rose of the Paper-hangers’ Union was selected to fill the vacancy. The delegates who withdrew represent about 1200 carpenters, and from all ac- counts the delegates from No. 804, the amalgamated and the Itaiian unions will also be recalled. There were several reasons for this action on the part of the carpenters. Under the by-laws ey unril;a, great or small, is allowed \h‘r?e’ delegates, flot the unions were assessed by the council for running expenses at so much capita. Thus the large unions, like 22 and 483, stuod the bulk of the expenses and had no ‘more voice in the proceedings that the lit- tle unions. Last month the council's call upon 22 was for §120 and upon 483 for $47. Arotber cause was on account of the Lathers’ Union, which the carpenters stated caused nearly all of the recent stiikes. Asa fact the carpenters gave the council to understand that if tue lathers were not requested to leave the council the carpenters would withdraw. e council did not have any excuse for taking such a course, the latuers having lived up to- all obligations and refused to comply with the demand. And last night, but not least, the shingler question, re- peatedly explained in THE CALL, was an- ‘other excuse for the carpenters desiring to g0 by themselves. C.'W. Page has already been appointed walking delegate for the carpenters, and on Monday morning the district council will 18sue new working cards to its mem- bers. The reason for believing that the other nters’ unions will their m the Bufldx:g Tradss Coun- use each of these unious is 11 bound by the very nature of its exist- ence to the District Council of Carpenters and Joiners, and it is not likely that the | three named will serve two bodies between which the relationship is somewhat strained. The officers of the Building Trades Coun- cil, however, do not intend to let the with- drawal of the unions mentioned interfere with ite plans, but will continue upon the same lines originally laid down. After the forezoing matter was settled atlastevening’s meeting the next question taken up was a grievance presen: by the Painters’ Union. It was a complaint acainst the contractors who are painting, whitening and tinting the fifty-eight schoolnouges of this City. The contract, so the complainants stated, requires the contractors to scrape and wash the walls and ceiling down to the plaster. In many places as many as eight coats of whiten- ing have been put on, one on top of an- other, The painters state that this work 1s not done, but that the whitening is plastered on the walls over old coats of dust and the accumulated germs of disease of many &ln. Special complaint was made of ntractor John McKey and Architect C. 1. Havens, who, they say, should see that the work isdone properly. The painters say they have sixty witnesses to the facts set forth. A committee was appointed to, call the matter to the attention of the Board of Education or to the Grand Jury if the board does not act with promptness in the premises. .

Structure to B: Finished for the Thanksgiving Football Games. The Velodrome to be established on the land of the Van Bergen estate near the panhandle of Golden Gate Park will largely increase the amusement resources of San Francisco. It was noted in Tre Cary yesterday that the Velodrome Company had been wcorporated by J. D. Giobs, Cress Ungzer, J. Buekman, K. Calisher and William H. Chapman. Bpeaking of the proposed establishment J. D. Gibbs, one of the leading promoters of the enterprise, yesterday said that ample capital was available. The plan to lease the land and inclose a large area for amusement purposes and speed contesis was formed some time ago, but the de- tails were kept as nearly secret as pos- sible until the articles of incorporation were filed. A space 400 by 275 feet will be inclosed and a seating capacity for 21,000 people will be provided. There will also be ac- commodations for 1100 horses. A lease of the land fer seven years has been taken with an option to extend it for a second term of seven years. The main feature of the Velodrome will be the inclosure of the area of land and the construction of a roof of glass and iron over all the inclosed space. It is pre- sumed that the roof will be constructed on the cantilever principle, as there will be no supporting columns to mar the speed tracks or obstruct the view of the audience. The work of building the structure will be pushed forward rapidly so that the Thanksgiving football game may take place at the Velodrome, from which point five car lines radiate. In aue time negotiations will be opened with the Olympic Club for the privilege of | putting in a pipe to connect with the| main pipe from the ocean which supplies the club with salt water. The Velodrome Company proposes io offer rooms to each bicycle club of San Francisco on certain conditions. It will be possible for every wheelman to keep his whieel there and have his bicycle suit in the locker. When it is desired to ride through the park the wheelman can step aboard the streetcar, go to the Velodrome, don his bicycle clothing, make the run through the park to the ocean, return to | the Velodrome, take a bath, change clothing again and return home, Under the present conditions the salt water bath taken at Sutro's is in the middle of the drive, whereas at the Velo- drome the salt water bath will come at the finish. Uuder the great roof there will be a six- lap track for bicycles, a straight-away track of 100 yards, a handball court, riding academy, lawn tennis court, cafe, a vast auditorium and a spacious stage. From the East and Europe amusement directors have telegraphed for opportuni- ties to present novel attractions. A com- bination scheme of scenic railway and chutes, which has proved immensely popular in Paris, may be secured. The facilitigs for presenting novel entertain- ments on & large scale have been provided for in the plans. 1t is said that Willis Polk has been engaged to prepare the | designs and superintend the building of the structure.
