THE SA N FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 1896 3 R S SRR D) [ e e P e R e e e e long must we wait for bimetallism to be brought tous by those who profit by mono- metallism? If the double standard will bring benefits to our people who will deny them the Tight to enjoy those benefits? If our oppo- nents would admit the right, the ability and the duty of our people to act for themselves on all public questions without the assistance and regardless of the wishesof other nations and then propose the yemedial legislation which they consider sufficient we could meet them in the field of honorable debate, but when they assert that this nation is helpless to protecs the rights of its own citizens we challenge them to submit the issue to & people whose patriotism has never been appealed 1o in vain. We shall not offend other nations when we declare the right of the American people to govern themselves and without let or hin- drance from without decide upon every ques- tion presented for their eonsideration. In taking this positiou w maintain the dignity of 70,000,000 s who are sec- ond to none in their capacity for seit-govern- | ment. The gold standard has compelled the | American people to Day any ever-itcreasing tribu to the creditor nations of the world, | & tribute which Do one dares to defend. I as sert that National honor requires the United States to secure justice for all its citizens, as | well as to do justice to ull its creditors. For a people like ours, blessed with natural resources of surpassing richness, to proclaim themselves impotent to frame a financial system suited to their needs is humiliating beyond the power of language to describe. We cannot enforce respect ror our foreign policy so long as we confess ourselves unable 1o frame our financial policy. Honest differ- ences of opinion have always existed, and will ever exist, as to the legislation best calculated | 1o promote the public weal; but when it is | seriously asserted that this Nation must bow | to the dictation of other nations and accept | the policies which they insist upon the right of self-government is assailed, and until that question is settled all other questions are in- significant. Citizens of New York, I have traveled from the center of the continent to the seaboard that I might, in the very beginning of the campaign, bring you greeting from the peovle of the West and’ South and assure you that their intention is not to destroy but to build up. They invite you to accept the principles of & living faith rather than listen to those who sre;\ch the gospel to despair, and advise en- urance on the ills you have. The advocates of free coinage believe that, in striving to | secure the immediate restoration of bimetal- | ism, they are laboriig in your behalf as well as in their own. A few of your people may prosper under present conditions, but the permanent welfare of New York rests upon the producers of wealth. This great city is built upon the commerce of the Nation, and must suffer if that commerce is impaired. You cannot sell unless the peo- | ple have money with which to buy, and they cannot obtain the money with which to buy unless they are able to sell their products remunerative prices. Production of wealth goes before the exchange of wealth; thos Create n secure a profit before they b anything to share with others, You cannot afford to join the money changers in supporting & financial policy which, by destroyiug the purchasing power of products of toil, must in the end discourage the creation of wealth.

When M Bryan concluded, after speak- ing an hour and forty minutes, there was another demounsiration, but it was brief. The far galeries had perceptibly dwindled d the crowd had shouted itself into the me condition of voice that Mr. Bryan Goyernor Stone, at the conclusion cheering, turned 1o Arthur Sewall, sidential candidate, and in a ormally notifiea him of his of th the Vice- few words ation. ernor audible even platform.

The speaker was compelled to stop several times while the chairman urged the audience that or- der be restored. People were now moving out 1n great numbers, and the noise in the vned his voice.

People be- an to crowd forward, as seats in the oreground were vacated and nearly all he audience was gathered about the press seats, which separated them from the restrum. So great was the confusion that herdly anybody heard Chairman Danforth announce that the meeting was adjourned. and Mre. Bryan ran the gauntlet of handshaking admirers, and, with Mrs. St. John, gained their carriage and were driven to the Bartholdi hotel, where a crowd was waiting to hear a promised talk from the nominee. During the evening a telegram was received from the Demo- cratic Convention at Ottumwa promising Iowa’s electoral vote for Bryan and Sewall. At the Bartboldi Hotel, where the Democratic headquarters are located, when the candidate appeared on the bal- cony, the crowd went wild. He stood, his wife beside him and Mr. Sewall on her right, the three smiling their thanks, for fully five minutes. Mr. Bryan thanged the crowd for its ap- proval, afier whigh cries of “Sewall,” “Sewall,” arose and between the renewed heers and cries repeated over and over ain for Bryan, the - Vice-Presidential n]iuee stepped out and made a few re- arks. formal reception in one of the parlors of the hotel. e BRYAN INDORSED IN IOWA. State Demooratic Convention Declares for Silver. OTTUMWA, Iowa, Aug. 12.—Small at- tendance of delegates, preponderance of Populists and perfect unanimity were the characteristics of to-day's conference of the free-silver Democrats of Iowa. The attendance is the smallest that has been noted at any convention held in Iowa for vears. Three of the counties, Audubon, Cass and Guthrie, were represented by only one delegate each, while it is said a few counties were not represented at all. The convention met at10:55 and lasted 1ill shortly after noon. ] ; The most important work of this session was the address of the temporary chair- man, A. A. Van Wagenen. At its close the committees, the members of which were chosen at the district caucuses, were announced. The afternoon session conyened at 2:15 p. M. The committee on credentials re- ported “no contests,” and the committes on rules and permanent organization named J. J. Shea of Pottawatomie County for permanent chairman and made the re- mainder of the temporary organization permanent. Mr. Shea’s references to Wil liam J. Bryan were loudly cheered. The report of the resolutions committee was then read, as follows: We, the Democrats of Iowa in convention as- sembled, heartily indorse and hereby reaffirm ¢he platform adopted by the National Demo- cratic Convention in Chicago in 1896 as & true and correct statement of Democratic prin- ciples. We recognize in the candidates named by said National Convention noble and patri- otic champions of said principles, and we pledge to them our most earnest support. Recognizing the financial issue as a great and controlling _question of the present campaign, we invite all voters, irrespective of party affil- iations, who are 1n favor of the interests and prosperity of the great masses of the people, 10 join with us in carrying the election this fall, 1o the end that financial relief may be given and prosperity restored to the country. The nominations were all by acclama- tion and were as follows: L. H. Karr, Osceola, Secretary of State; G. W. Davyis, Louisa County, Auditor; W. D. Beies, Sheldon, Attorney-General; John Reug- nitz, Treasurer; Amos Steckel, Railroad Commisioner. General Weaver responded to repeated calls and made a fifteen-minute speech, in which he said the Democratic party had done this year what the Populists had been trying to do for the last twenty years. At 4 o’clock the convention ad- journed. NORTH DAKOTA DEMOCRATS. Pledged to Support Bryan and the Chicago Platform. GRAND FORKS, N.

Congress, John Burke, Bottineau; Gov- ernor, R. B. Richardson, Pembina; Lieu- tenant-Governor, John Cashel, Walsh; Supreme Court, C. F. Templeton, Grand Forks; Secretary of State, J. E.

REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN WORK, Silver Sentiment in California Rapidly Dwindling. CHICAGO, IrL, Aug. 12.—Republican campaign work among labor union men will be carriea on directly by labor repre- | sentatives from National headquarters, but untramumeled by the dictation of the executive committee. On this subject Mr. Hanna said to-day to a reporter: “The laboring element that is working in the interests of the Republican ticket will be allowed to conduct its own campaign by its own methods and to dictate its own policy. It will receive the co-operation of the National Committee and accomino- dation and assistance at these headquar- ters. “While strongly approving the indi- vidual plans of employers to supply their men with all facilities to be informed as to how to vote for their best interests, it is my purpose to reach these employes through the labor organization I have mentioned. “We will not do labor campaign work through employers at all. We will deal direct with the men, because we can get more out of them that way. The aston- ishing feature of this campaign’ is the great demand of the people to be enlight- ened by all kinds of literature. It augurs well for onr success. *‘The next thirty days will be a cam- gaign of printed matter and after that osis of speakers will take the St. Louis plattorm for their text and give the pro- tection and money planks equal promi- nence.” A German delegation had a lengthy con- ference to-day with Mr. Hanna, the result being an arranged plan of educational campaign, by German literature and Ger- man speakers. United States Senator Wilson of Wash- ington wired to-day that since his return the conditions have changed materially for the success of McKinley 1n that State. John D. Spreckels, National Committee- 1man from California, wrote that the silver feeling there “is rapidly dwindling away. We will carry California for McKinley.” An aggressive campaign among farmers and iabor men is to commence soon. George A. Steele of Oregon, National committeeman, wrote to say a city, county and State organization is being rapidly perfected, and the recently discouraging outlook has given place to an ardent de- termination to carry the State. T S e WYOMING CONVENTION, Republicans Unable to Agree on the Financial Question. CHEYENNE, Wvo., Aug. 12.—The Re- publican State Convention, called to nomi- nate candidates for Congress, the Supreme Court and Presicential electors for Wyom- ing, convened this morning in this city, but was forced to adjourn to-night with- out accomplishing any work beyond mak- ing a permanent organization, because of the failure of the committee on resolu- tions 'to make a report on the financial issue. An interesting hitch in the proceedings took place early in the day, when a dele- gation from Uinta County, representing the Bryan and Sewall Republicans of that county, claimed seats in the convention. A contesting McKinley delegation, how- ever, was seated. Tne leader of the Bryan delegation protested as he left the conven- tion, in the name of the Republicans of his county. During the recess of tke aft- ernoon district conventions were held a:u:itbe judicial candidates were nomin- ated. A night session was held and tne reporl of the committee on resolutions awaited until 9:30 o’clock. At that time the com- mittee sent word that no report could be made to-night, and the convention ad- journed until 10 o’clock to-morrow. The hitch in the committee is on the question of adopting the financial plank of the St. Louis platform, reaffirming the free-silver piank of the last two State conventions or tne adoption of a compromise financial platform. R ——— Tennessee for McKinley. NASHVILLE, TeNN., " Aug. 12.—The State Republican Convention to-night nominated G. N. Tillman for Governor, H. Clay Evans having declined to be candidate. A.W. Hawkins and J. I“owle: Amid cheers the party then left the bal- ony, and for twenty minutes held an in- were chosen as electors-at-large. The St. Louis Republican platform was indorsed. OHIO VETERANS VISIT McKINLEY, Members of the Nominee's 01d Regiment En- tertained. THE MAJOR'S REMARKS. Prominent Men Who Once Marched With the Gallant “ Twenty-Third.” PATRIOTISM AND PROTECTION. “It Is Better to Open America’s Mills to Labor Than Her Mints to Silver.,” CANTON, Ommo, Aug. 12.—Regardless of the awful heat, about 100 of the sur- viving members of the Twenty-third Ohio Infantry, McKinley's old regiment to-day marched up to the house of the Republi- can candidate for the Presidency, to assure him of their good will and support. The veterans stood on the lawn under the trees with uncovered heads while Major McKinley from the veranda spoke to them eloquently and with deep feeling. No word that was uttered escaped them and the applause which frequently burst forth was sincere and hearty. When McKinley said: “I believe that it is a good deal better to open up the mills of the United States to the labor of America than to open the mints of the United States to the silver of the world,”’ there was a storm of cheers and applause which continued for two or three minutes. Captain J. 8. Allen was spokesman for the veterans, and in response to his speech Major McKinley said in part: ““This call of the sarviving members of the old regiment with which I served for more than fovr years brings to me peculiar and special gratification. As I look upon this little body of men assembled about me I am vividly reminded of how rapidly the years are passing and with them are passing our old associates ot the war. *““We had a great regiment—great in its field officers, great in the character of the rank and file that constituted it. Our hearts go out with tenderness and love, I am sure, to the first colonel of our regi- ment, General William S. Rosecrans, in his distant home in California. [Great applause.] “We all remember his splendid dis- cipline and gentle qualities, and we re- member with what pride we marched un- der his command in West Virginia in 1861. Nor can we assembie here as we bave to-day without recalling the third colonel of the Twenty-third Ohio, who was longest with us, Rutherford B. Hayes.” [Great cheering.] Major McKinley also recalled several other field officers and snoke of the kind deeds of Mrs. Hayes, the mention of each name calling forth loud cheers. He con- tinued: “I was glad to note in the eloquent sppech of my comrade, Captain Allen, Atlen, that the old Twenty-third Ohio stands in 1896, as it stood in 1861, for the country and the county’s flaz. [Great ap- plause and cries of *‘McKinley too.””] No- body could have doubted that, knowing the metal from which this old regiment was made. “You stand to-day just as unitedly for the honor of the Government and the preservation of its credit and currency. [Cheers.] I don’t know what you think about it, but 1 believe that it isa good deal betier to open up the mills of the United States to thelabor of America than to open up the mints of the United States to the silver of the world. [Great cheer- ing and cries of ‘“You are right.”’] “Washington told us over and over again that there was nothing so important to preserve as the Nation's honor. He said that the most important source of strength was the public credit and that the best method of preserving it was to useitas sparingly as possible.”” Major McKirley spoke of the raising of money by Robert Morris for the Con- tinental army on his personal honor and credit, and added: *From that hour until now the country’s honor has been our anchor in every storm. Lincoln pledged it when in time of war we issued money. He said, ‘Every dollar of that money shall be made as good as gold,’ and it was left to Rutherford B. Hayes, your old colonel, as President of the United States, to exe- cute that promise in the resumption of specie payment in 1879. [Cheers and ap- plase.] When Robert Morris said that they had nothing to give but their honor there were behind his words 3,000,000 of struggling patriots. To-day behind the Nation’s honor are 70,000,000 oi free men, who mean to keep this Government and its honor and integrity and credit unques- tioned. [Great applause.] A large basket of handsome flowers was presented to Mrs. McKinley after the speaking. A number of telezrams were read. The One Hundred and Seventeenth New York Volunteers in reunion sent greeting and wished Major McKinley suc- cess. These were also read: Grand Island, Nebr.—Eight hundred members of the McKinley and Hobart clubs of Hall County send greetings and pledge you our active support. Fremont, Nebr.—McKinley and Hobart Club of Fremont, Nebr., 700 strong, sends greeting to the standard-bearer of the Republican hosts, whose battle-cry 1s “Protection and sound money,” and pledge to him its earnest support and assure him that the ‘‘prettiest city” will give a large majority for the Republican candidate in November. Two hundred members of the One Hun- dred and Fourth Ohio Volunteers will call on Major McKinley to-morrow. SALVATIONISTS MALTREATED, Repeatedly Assailed b a Mob and Finally Driven to Their Barracks. BELLEVILLE, IrL., Aug. 12.—The Sal- vation Army disturbances, which have ex- tended over & period of months, cul- minated last night in the worst riot which has ever occurred. The soldiers took their stand on the steps of the Courthouse, and for two hours and a half held their posi- tion against the repeated rushes of the mob. They were hurled down the stoue steps countless times, and many were roughly handled, One of their flags was torn, and they were subjected to great abuse, The mob was led by Hans Schwarz, who mounted a pillar and harangued the crowds to acts of greater violence. Police protection was appealed for and refused, but later Captain Yaekel and a squad drove the crowd away and comvelled the army to go toits barracks. Threats of re- newed violence are freely made.

A Young Lady Receives Injuries From Which She Will Die. WEST PALM BEACH, Fia., Aug. 12.— Miss Bessie Moore was mangled by a panther last night and now lies on the verge of death, Mr. and Mrs. Craigin gave an entertainment, to which were bidden all the young folks in fhe neigh- borhood. They amused tnemselves on the lawn, which was illuminated. During the evening Miss Moore ran into the shrubbery on the side of the lawn. Soon the other merrymakers heard her screams. Several young men rushed to the spot and found a large panther attack- ing the girl. When the rescuers appeared the brute ran away. Miss Moore was frightfully torn about the breast and shoulders. Her right arm was broken and a deep gash was torn in her right thigh. She will die. A PILES STRARGEFTE Coroner’s Jury Unable to De- termine the Cause of His Death. At the R-quest of the Chi Psi Col- lege Fraternity the Body Wiil Be Cremated. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aung. 12.—To- day at noon there was a gathering of six citizens composing the jury of inquest in the case of A. H. Pyle, whose body was found in the river, Coroner Hammett and several silverites, friends of the dead man, who had been identified with the National Committee of the Silver party. A. L. Grimes and Precinct Detective Burrows told the jury of the finding of the body and its condition. Their experience had shown them that suicides usually re- move their shoes, as was done in this case. Friends of deceased told of his visit to the Falls Church silver demonstration last Tuesday on which occasion his hilarity attracted attention on the train. On that day he was to have had an interview with Senator Jones, but as he was too much under the influence of liquor to under- stand this important matter he was per- suaded to geta ‘“‘bracer” im a drugstore and go over to have an *oid Virginia time.” 4 A Mr. Wedderburn and Pyle went to- gether, and the former told the jury that both of them were well under the influ- ence, and that he succeeded in persuad- ing Pyle that he was drunk enough to need the “bracer.” George J. Mallory of the General Land Office saw Pyle on the train. He was in the baggage-car and came near falling ont of the door. ‘“He was very hilarious,” said Mr. Mallory. ‘He was making silver speeches and seemed very enthusi- astic.” The question at issue—whether death was accidental, suicidal or the result of homicide—was next discussed. Friends of the dead man saw no reason for suicide, as he had bright prospects before him, and on Tuesday of lasc week he had between $20 and $30 on his person. When seen coming from a questicnable locality, so the jury was told, he bad leaves on his hat and dirt on his clothing. Precinct Detective Burrows had been unable to locate his shoes and hat on the river bank, nor could he find that he had visited any of the gambling places across the river. Mr. Mailory, who had witnessed the man’s narrow escape from death on the train, said he saw Pvle Wednesday morn- ing asleep on a cable-car going in the di- rection of Georgetown. 3 There being no direct evidence concern- ing the manner in which deceased got into the river, the jury returned a verdict giv- ing no cause of death. A dispatch received from Pyle’s brother at Los Angeles this morning said he was not sure of identity and could not defray the funeral expenses. : Deputy Controller Coffin said to-day that Pyle was a member of the Chi Psi college fraternity, and he had received a request from the officers of that society to see that the dead man was cremated. This will be done to-morrow. —_— Populists Indorse Bolters. SPRINGFIELD, Iin., Aug. 12.— The Populist State Convention was called to order this morning by Chairman Max- well. Only 450 delegates were present, one-half of the representation. At the evening session the convention adopted its piatform, indorsing the St. Louis platform, especially its carrency plank. Governor Altgeld’s administration was strongly indorsed. The nominees of the Democratic State Convention were in- dorsed with the exception of Auditor and six electors which. according to arrange- ment, were filled by Populists. The electors were pledged to Bryan and Se- wall. —s Spain Ignores a Ked Cross Compact. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 12—An ap- peal signed by more than 1000 physicians will be sent to the general council of the International Red Cross Society calling attention to the non-observance by Spain in the Cuban war of the stipulations unanimously agreed to at the congress held by the society in which Spain as a nation took part. SPARKS FROM THE WIRE. The penitentiary at Anamosa, Iowa, was en- tirely destroyed by fire Tuesday night. The loss is $20,000. No difficulty was experienced with the prisoners and no lives were lost. Daniel D. Butters, one of the oldest members of the Chicago Board of Trade, died yesterday morning from stomach trouble, aggravated by extreme heat. Samuel Brakewell Jr.of the firm of Brake- well & Son, Highwood, Ill, is a spiritualist. Two weeks ago he said he had a presenti- ment that two of his three boys were to be drowned.

NOGALES RAIDED BY FANATICS Continued from First Page. morning the people of Tucson were ap- prised of the Santa Ter revesaolutionists’ raid on Nogales, Sonora. The report caused the wildest excitement, for the nature of the uprising was not at first known, and it was feared that Tucson might be attacked by Indians. Soon a large proportion of the male population was under arms and anxiously awaiting further news from the beleagured town. Toward noon this dispatch was received from Nogales, Ariz., by the Evening Citizen: At 4 o’clock this morning the people were awakened by shooting. A little later the fire-alarm bell rang and the people hurry- ing from their homes were informed that about seventy-five Yaquis had taken pos- session of the Mexican custom-house and had killed three Mexican guards. Forty United States armory guns were at the re- quest of the Mexican Consul turned over to the citizens to protect the city. The citizens took refuge with their guns behind embankments, and after a half hour of skirmishing and fighting succeeded in driving out the Yaquis, who returned their fire regularly. Seven of them were killed, two are prisoners and the others made their escape over the mountains under a 1usiliade of shots from the citizens. The total number killed is ten. No Americans are hurt. Fully 1000 shots were fired. A regular revolution was ab- ruptly ended by the assistance of the Americans. Later reports proved the raiders to be Mexican revolutionists, some seventy-five in number, who had organized in the camp of Tubac, Ariz., forty miles south of Tucson, and made the attack upon the custom-house of the Mexican Government located at Nogales, Sonora, to seize money and arms to aid in overthrowing the Gov- ernment of Mexice in the interest of the notorious Santa Teresa. Seven of their band were killed and three captured. Three Mexican police, or celadores—Fran- cisco Fernandez, Manuel Delahante and Jose Pene—in charge of the custom- house, were killed. A keeper of a fruit stand, Cresencio Urbino, was also reported killed in the charge. A posse was organized and started in pursuit at once. It was ambushed by a small number of the filibusters, and in the encounter the Cnief of Police of No- gales, Sonora, Ponciano Sanchez, Juan Fernandaez and two other Mexican guards were killed, making seven Mexican citi- zens killed during the day and eight of the revolutionists slain. The following official telegram from United States Collector of Customs Sam ¥. Webb to United States Marshal Meade was received: TUCSON, ARriz., Aug.12.—An assault on the customs officers of Sonora, Mexico, was made this morning by filibusters hauing organized in Arizonas, led by Jose Gomez of Santa Rista, Ariz. As a result three citizens are dead, seven filibusters killed and two captured. Papers found on the filibusters show the party to have held meetings in Tubac, Ariz., then Cuebabi. Their names are: Loreta Rivas, Miguel Leon, Juan Lungo, Franco Vasquez, Luis Liso, Jose Saicido, Miguel Alvarez, Juan Valencia, Jose Cacacaesi, Jusn Buitemea, Franco Ramirez, Juan Cerano, Ygnacio Bach- romo, Francisco Abram, Juan Ligulineu, Juan Alvarez, Estevan Fusatajoy, Juan Molina and Raphael Cerbes. They are now heading toward Tubac. Santa Teresa fanatics are the men. Immediately on receipt of this telegram the United States Marshal requested troops to be sent at once from Fort Hua- chuca, near Bishee, Ariz., to Tubac and vicinity to prevent any violation of the neutrality laws. Nothing has been heard from the authorities from Washington, notwithstanding they were promptly ad- vised. Santa Teresa, the Joan of Arc of Mexico, driven from that country about a year ago and reported to have been at Solomon- ville as late as June and then to have left for El Paso, only to disappear recently, is supposed to be at the head of this revo- lutionary movement. She is known among her people as a healer of sick and a performer of many benevolent acts. She has quite a scat- tered following. Reports received by way of Benson to- ward midnight stated that a special train left there this evening for #ort Huachuca station, to transfer troops to Nogales. A special departed from Nogales this morn- ing for Magdalena, Sonora, to bring Mexi- can troops to the line. Another attack is expected to-night, as 500 Yaqus have re- enforced the revolutionists. b ey GOVERNOR FRANKLIN ACTS. Posses Urdered to Start in Pursuit of the Raiders. PH(ENIX, Ariz., Aug. 12.—Governor Franklin to-day received the following dispatch from Sam F. Webb, United States Collector at Nogales, Ariz.: An assault was made this morning at 4 o'clock on Nogales, Sonora, by filibusters. Three Mexican guards were killed and one citizen and seven filibusters. After being repulsed, they headed north toword Tucson or Solomonville, Ariz. Nineteen of the raid- ers are known to be from Arizona and forty from Mexico. One Jose Gomez of Santa Rits, Ariz., is their captain.

Was Dissatisfied With the Govern- ment and Sought to Bring About Reforms. TEHERAN, Persia, Aug. 12.—Mollah Reza, who assassinated Narr-ed-Din, Shah of Persia, May 1, was hanged this morn- ing. An immense crowd of people wit- nessed the execation of tie assassin. Reza was a religious fanatic, who, dis- satisfied with the edicts of the Govern- ment, believed that the way to bring about reforms was to kill the Shah. He waited for him in the inner court of the shrine of Shah Abdul Azim, where chains separate the outer from the inner court. Just as the Shah passed the first chain Mollah approached him and, when within a few feet, drew a revolver from beneath his robe and fired. The buliet struck the Shah near the heart, and the Persian ruler fell forward on his knees. By a great effort he rose to his feet, staggered forward a few feet and then fell to the ground. He was at once removed to the palace and doctors sum- moned, but when they arrived they found him dead. The bullet had lodged in the pericardial region, between the sixth and seventh ribs. The Shah had been accompanied to the shrine by the Grand Vizier and the custo- mAry escort. Reza was at once seized, and after exceedingly rough treatment was lodged in jail. According to rumor he has been tortured in a fiendish manner since the murder was committed. S i ree PREPARING FOR STOCKTON'S FETE. Admission Day Committees Engaged in Arranging for Many Original Features. STOCKTON, Car, Aug. 12. — Work has been commenced on the Admission day arch thatis to be placed across the plaza by the courthouse. The heroic statue of “Miss California’’ was placed in position.

Each night the various committees are meeting to arrange for the details of the parade and water carnival. Owne great float in the parade will be emblematic of California and of the order of the Native Sons. Decorators are now at work arrang- ing for this, and designs will be submitted to the committee in a day or two. Three of the large floats that are to be used in the water carnival will be mounted on wheels and shown during the street parade. Every:hing has been settled as to the decorations of the big granite courthouse, and the huge dome will blaze with 400 in- candescent lights. The decoration com- mittee has ordered thousands of Japanese lanterrs that are to be used in decorating the principal thoroughfares of the city. The carnival on the water will be one of the chief attractions on the night of Sep- tember 9, and McLeods Lake and Stockton Channel will be made to look like a fairyland.

U U WORK FOR ARIZONA INDIANS., Given Employment as Bouthern Pacifio Track Repairers. PHENIX, Ar1z.,, Aug. 12.—The South- ern Pacific Company is making an experi- ment in Arizona that may solve the labor question in the Southwest. It is the em- ployment of Papago and Pima Indiansas laborers in repairing the lines in Arizona. For several months these experiments have been goingon but as yet no radical changes have been made and no other laborers displaced to make room for Poor Lo. Superintendent Epes Randolph of the Arizona division informs a CALL repre- sentative that the road has had consider- able difficuity this summer in securing laborers to supply its demands and it de- ci ded to employ able-abodied Indians who would not be affected by the heat. Said he: “We find that they make very good track laborers while they remain at work, but not having been raised to hard, steady ‘work, they are not disposed to stick to it with any great degree of regularity. One hundred and fifty is perbaps the largest number of these Indians that we have em&:loyed at any one time. They drop in and out, however, and our average force of Indians employed would probably not exceed 100 men up to the present time.” The result of this experiment will be watched with considerable interest, for if Indians can be trained to do this work, for which they are well titted, they ‘are likely to displace whites in orchards, vineyards and mines. ————— The Rover Reaches Sacramento, SACRAMENTO, CaL., Aug. 12.—Cap- tain Sellers and a crew of four have suc- cessfully sailed from San Francisco to Sacramento in the largest yacht which ever ascended the river to this point.

The Conflagration Followed by a Sec. ond Which Damages the Farmers’ Hotel. PASO ROBLES, CaL., Aug. 12—Two conflagrations has this town suffered to- day, and its loss has been heavy. Before dawn this morning the Sperry flourmill was destroyed, with all it contained, to- gether with an adjoining blacksmith-shop and barn. Following this fire came one in the Farmers’ Hotel, and that hostelry ‘was badly damaged. The watchman of the Sperry flourmill discovered fire in the fourth story of the mill at 3:15 o’clock. It had been started by friction of the pulley roller. He en- deavored to turn water on from a fire hose, a coil of which is on each floor of the mill, but for some reason there was not pressure enough to get the water to the fourth floor. The watchman then went to the engine-room and blew the fire-alarm whistle, which was promptly responded to by the fire companies. The fire had gained such headway that it could not be checked and the mill was burned to the ground. Manager Stein- beck succeeded in saving the books and P"Fe" of the company. he fire spread from the mill to the barn of C. Holderness, and it was destroyed. The blacksmith-shop of Nuckolls & Deer- ing was next swept away. The livery stable of Nuckolls Bros. was on fire several times, but was prevented from burning by the constant work of the fire boys. There was 3000 barrels of flour in the mill, 1000 of which was to have been shipped to-day, ana a large quantity of milling wheat. The electric plant, owned and operatea by the Sperry Company, was in the mill building and is a total loss. One of the boarders of the Farmers’ Hotel, after returning from the mill fire, upset his lamp and started a conflagra- tion in the hotel. Before the fire company could arrive, the upper story was destroyed. The losses are: Sperry Flour Company, $35,000, 1nsured for $17,500; C. Holderness, $250, no insurance; Nuckolls & Deering, | $300, no insurance; Farmers’ Hotel, partial loss, insured for $1500. The mill was one of the best in Southern California, with a capacity of 200 barrels per day, and was running full time, getting out flour for the China trade. e Fire at Anderson.
