Hugh Taylor, a missionary of Lakawn, in the province of Laos, in the north of Siam, arrived here on the Coptic yesterday, accompanied by his family and Miss Isabella A. Griffin, a missionary of Chuengmai, which is the principal city of Laos. All are missionaries of the Presby- terian board. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor are from N ebraska, and bave been in Laos eight years. Their three little children have learned the native language, and cannot speak Eng- lish. “There are thirty missionaries all told 1 the province of Laos,” said Rev. Mr. Taylor, “‘and all are of the Presbyterian board. The town of Lakawn, where Mrs. Taylor and I have been, has about 25,000 people, while the province has 3,000,000 **Our missionary work is very encourag- ing. The natives are of the Malay race. They are quiet and tractable. Their main industry is agriculture. Rice is their prin- cipal product, but they raise a few vege- tables and a little corn. “The main trade is in teak. This wood is about their only export. We are in the mountain region of the Maawung River, an upper tributary of the famous Manam River. The native houses along the river are of bamboo and thatch and are built on | poles, because of the danger of floods. “The country is tropical and produces bananas, oranges and other similar things. It is malarions, however. and this consti- tutes one of the drawbacks. “We have two schools there, one for boys and the other for girls. The latter has as high as sixty studentsat a time. Books are issued in the native language. ‘We had the type made five years ago, and began publishing the books three years ago.” and Mrs. Taylor are at the O-ci- dental. They will be here several days before starting for their old home in Ne- braska.” GUTH SHOOT T0 L J. Carr and Special J. W. Mc- Menony Have a Duel in the Auzerais. Officer F. W. Ri'ey Arrives in Time to Prevent a Killing—Carr Taken to Jail. Joseph Carr, brother of Frank Carr who acquired fame by refereeing the recent Corbett-Sharkey prize fight, all but com- mitted murder and narrowly escaped be- ing shot to death himself in the Auzerais saloon, corner of Powell and Ellis streets, early yesterday morning. Carr walked into the saloon about 5 o’clock and going up to the bar calied for adrink. Asalleged by the barkeeper he was oking for trouble” and lost but little time in stirring up a fieht. Carr | bumped up asainsta customer standing at the bar and was admonished by the mixologist. At this he became angry, and throwing a half dollar on the counter started toward the door. He noticed Speciai Officer J. W. McMenomy, who stands nightly. in front of the Tivoli, and calls out “‘get in line for your tickets,” standing near the bar. Without a second’s warning Carr drew a revolver, wheeled and fired directly | at McMenomy’s head. The bullet went wild, however, and just missed a Japanese boy who was on a stepladder cleaning a mirrow. The Jap came down off the ladder with a crash, and all but McMenomy hunted safe quarters. Before the smoke of the first shot had time to clear away the | special pulled his revolver znd fired two shots 1n rapid succession at the now re- treating Carr. Fortunately, however, both | bullets missed and buried themselves in the wall, one on either side of its target. | The shooting attracted the attention of Officer F. W. Riley, and as he rushed into the saloon Carr was preparing to bring | his revolver into action again. McMenomy was looking from around 8 corner, also ready to renew the duel as | scon as convenient. Riley, however, | ordered Carr to throw up his hands, but | before tie latter had time to comply the ! policeman was on him and had wrenched the revolver from his hands. Policeman | W. F. Joy also heara the shooting and hurried into the saloon. Carr was then handed over to Joy who took his prisoner to the Central police station and booked him on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. Carr was unable to obtain bonds for his release and is still iu the tanks of the City Prison. JUST BEFORE THE GREAT BATTLE 0. W. Winthrop and Cap- tain Lees Array Their Forces. CAMPBELL TO BE HERE. The Defendant Claims to Have Five People to Prove an Alibi. EVIDENCE OF THE DETECTIVES. The Police Believe They Have a Ccmplete Chain to Prove the Prisoner’s Guilt. Whetler it is the sunof Austerlitz or that of Waterloo which has risen, Oliver ‘Winfield Winthrop may know this morn- ing if he cares to fight his accusers. His trial is set for 10 o’clock before Su- perior Judge Wallace, at which time he may ask and obtain time to plead; plead not guilty and have the case set for future hearing, or -else enter the field boldly without delay and let a jury decide whether millionaire James A. Campbell’s accusations have foundation or hisdeclara- tion ot innocence is correct. Captain Lees is positive he has a com- plete chain of evidence to prove Win- throp’s guilt. He ciaims to have traced his movements from the time he is said to have spoken to Donald Urquhart about a scheme to kidnap Campbell and other people of wealth, to the time Detecti Cody placed the prisoner under arrest in Oakland on Monday morning last. The Chief of Detectives would be surer of his case, of course, if he could secure the mysterious *“Pete’” who is supposed to bave helped Winthrop in torturing Camp- bell at the 4109 California-street cottage. But “Pete,” as well as “Dollie,”’ the writer of the letter found in Winthrop’s pussession, insist on remaining uncaught. Still, that makes no difference to Captain Lees. He has enough evidence on hand now to win the fight, so he says. In the meantime, however, the detective force is out hunting ap past records. There is an effort being made to show that a grave mistake was made by the court that found Winthrop not guilty of the murder of Mrs. Jennie Matthews over one year ago. There are men who worked in the cemetery where Winthrop was superin- tendent at the time, and to whom he owes money, who claim that he, only re- cently, promised to pay his indebtedness from a big raise of money he expected very shortly. is Donald Urquhart, the main , besides the complainant, Camp- bell, and there is the circumetantial evi- dence of Winthrop’s leaving town in dis- guise affer having been seen in the com- pany of Campbell Monday afternoon, the date of the millionaire’s disappearance. Winthrop simply laughs at these accu- sations. He says he can explain them away by telling a truthful account of ali bis doings. He says he can prove he never rented the California-street cottage; never took Campbell there, and that while the millionairs planter says he was being tortured, he (Winthrop) was miles awsy from the place in the company of reputable people, whose testimony must be accepted as incontrovertible. In other words, that he can prove a perfect alibi from the facts. His acquaintances, Mr. Hess, Arthur Porter and D. C. Allen of 927 Market stréet, as weil as Attorney Quitzow, were with him at different times when he is ac- cused of being with Campbell. Two respectable ladies also spoke to him and were in his company Monday afternoonwhen he is supposed to have been tying Campbell to chairs and frightening him in the hope of having him signa $20,000 check. He will bring up other witnesses also to sbow that the Hawaiian’s habits are such that he drinks to excess, after which he is filled with hallucina- tions of robbery, torture and kindred things not countenanced in reputable communities. This is bow the position of the two fac- tions can be summed up, and both claim- ing to be ready for battle it is likely there will be no delay. ALAMEOA COUNTY TO AID Oakland Churches Tendered for the Christian Endeavor Convention. The Executive Committee of Golden Gate Union Receives Gratifying Reports. the The free use of all churches in Oakland for 2ny meetings or headquarters for the various State delegations during the great internationat Christian Endeavor conven- tion to be held in this city next summer was officially tendered to the executive | committee of the Golden Gate Union last evening by A. R. Waters of Oakland, who had been delegated to make such an offer in the name of the Alameda County Chris- tian Endeavor Union. In making the offer Mr. Waters said the anion had over 4000 members, besides 1500 juniors, and all of these stood ready to assist in the work of prevaration, and would do anything from scrubbing to leading a procession. The secretary was authorized to thank the union. Miss Mindora L. Berry, State secretary of the Missionary Extension Course, re- ported the organization of a Suné-y- school and Christian Endeavor Society at Glenwood among young people in the vi- cinity converted as the result of the sum- mer school held there during June. She also reported a union organized in Hum- boldt County, with much interest mani- fested. She announced the reopening of the Bible schoo! in_this City the latter part of October. It was hoped that Dr. bert Mackenzie can be secured to open the series. The report oi the good literature com- mittee showed that more than 10,000 papers, magazines and books had been distributed to bospitals, jails, ships and {ree reading-rooms, besides a great quan- tity distributed by local societies without reference to the committee’s work. Miss Margaret Boyce, acting assistant junior superintendent, reported a very largely attended and enthusiastic conven- tion at the Grace Methodist Church last Saturday. ELiu an s HARD FATE OF A HORSE. His Neck Cruelly Lacera‘ed and His Tail Nearly Torn Off. Horses seem to be having a hard time. The officers of the Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Animals have been kept busy for the past few davs investigating cases reported and shooting disabled brates whose owners persisted in requir- ing them to work though sore and suffer- ing. Several cases of ordinary cruelty were reported yesterday, and one some- what out of the common was brought to the society’s notice. A man named Gallager, living on How- ard street, owned a healthy young horse, which he drove daily, being a teamster by occupation. Last Saturday being an off day the animal was staked out to graze in a paddock near the Geallagher residence. A boy living in the neighborhood, Mad- den by name, was seen to mount the horse and ride off. Thinking the boy was only going to take a ride around “the block, Gallagher did not interfere. The next seen of boy and horse was in San Jose on Sunday. The dayof rest passed, and on Monday the horse re- turned to his post, not, however, to work, but to fall down exhausted in his master’s yard. The luckless animal’s tail was nearly torn off, while the flesh about his neck hung in bleeding, festering strips. He had evidently been tied behind some vehicle and dragged for miles at a furious rate. An officer of the society was: called and, seeing the animal’s misery, shot him at the owner’s request. Mr. Gallagher is making efforts to secure the Madden boy and when he does there will be a great reckoning. FOR WORDEN'S DEFENSE, The American Railway Union Appeals to the Work- ingmen. Federal and State Court Judges and the Railroad Roundly Denounced. The recent refusal of the State Supreme Court to grant a new trial to C. S.Worden, who was convicted of murder in connec- tion with the wrecking of the Sacramento train, has caused a storm of indignation ameng the local railroad men and particu- larly the members of the American Rail- way Union No. 345 of San Francisco. This body met Wednesday and the at- tendance was larger than it had been for a year or two past. When the Worden case came up the members were all of one mind—that an innocent man was to be hanged and that the Southern Pacific Com- pany and the courts were in collusion to strike a blow at the striking railroad men for daring to oppose the railroad. As aresult of their aebate the members of the union passed a resolution, bitter and pointed as a spear dipped in gall. The resolution recites that the Southern Pacific, through its agents, is trying to launch an innocent man into eternity. ‘Worden’s innocence, the members assert, they could have proved, but were pre- vented by the court’s ruling out all evi- dence tending to vrove this assertion. In the resolution the railroad, the Supreme and the Federal courts are roundfy de- nounced and an appeal is made to ail workmen not to stand idly by and seea fellow-workman henged. . A paragraph is devoted to Federal Judge W. W. Morrow for his judicial con- duct in the case of Cassidy and Mayne, charged with interfering with the running of trains, charging him with refusing to listen to all of the evidence. The Federal authorities also were denounced for failing to_prosecute Collis ¥. Huntington. 'he Worden case will be taken up by the American Railway Union and another effort will be made to save him from the gallows. HORSES WANTED TO RIDE Frightened by Falling Glass They Rush Upon a Crowded “Dummy.” Passengers on a Sutter-Street Car More Frightened Than Hurt by the Equines. A Sutter-street cablecar and dummy were proceeding up Sutter street between 4and 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. On the dummy the seats were filled with ladies and gentlemen. Between Kearny street and Grant avenue, on the north side of Sutter street, a cab was standing, to which two horses were attached. A driver was on the top of the cab. Just as the Sutter-sireet dummy came close to the cab, a crash was heard in a hallway leading up to the second ficor of the building, numbered 226. A glazier was at work upon a swinging door, half- way up the stairs, and part of a broken pane of glass, of considerable size, fell from the doorsash and rattled and crashed upon the stairs. The horses attached to the cab in front of the building pricked up their ears and, witn _sudden fright, whirled suadenly round just as the dummy came directly opposite. The carriage pole between the horses projected enough to strike against the front uprizht support of the dummy, nearest the north sidewalk. Toere wasa sudden crash and a scattering of the peo- ple on the sides of the dummy. Some jumped off and others fell off upon the pavement. One of the horses fell. The pole of the cab was broken into splinters. While the occupants of the car and dummy were jolted and considerably startied by the occurrence, No one was injured. One man, whose name could not be learned, was re- ported to have limped as bhe got back on the car. The horses were unhurt. ——————— MFXICAN MON:Y HERE. Large Investments Being Made in Cali- fornia Cattle and Sheep. J. M. Williams, an extensive wheat and livestock grower of Newman, Cal, is at the Lick. Mr. Williams says that for the last few weeks uvgcinlly there has been a large demand from Mexico for American cows, calves and sheep for breeding pur- poses. “I know myself of several carloads that have lately been bought in Cahfornia and shipped to the City of Mexico,” said Mr. Williams. “The cows were bought here at from $30 to $40 in Mexican money, and sold for $100 to $200 at the City of Mexico. “Tt costs $248 for a car from El Paso to the City of Mexico, in Mexioan siiver, and $124 in American money to Kl Paso. “Isold lately to Mexico 318 sheep, for which 1 received $24 each in Mexican money. There is absolutely no demand here for cattle or sheep. I couldn’t sell the same sheep here for $4. “There is lots of Mexican money coming bere now. I knoWw of a large amount of it being distributed here. The Mexicans don’t seem to _object atall to cur prices. They want to buy live stock especially. It’s a good thing for us, and I want to see it continue.”" KELLY'S FATE 1§ IN THE BALANCE. The Congressional Candi- date May Be Turned Down. HANLY’S PROXY FORGED. To Be Placed Before the Demo- cratic State Central Committee. A LIVELY MEETING TO-NIGHT. William Hinton Jr. Says That an Affidavit Will Be Secured . for the Fizht. The forces that are arrayec against Jos- eph P. Kelly, the Democratic candidate for Congress of the district convention in the Fifth Congressional District, are pre- paring for a grand coup when the Demo- cratic State Central Committee meets to- night, and if Kelly’s name 1s on the ticker after the Democratic State Convention ad- journs it will be because his friends in the committee are stronger than his foes. The hopes of the anti-Kellyites rest on proving that the candidate was indorsed by means of a forged proxy, and this they claim to beable to do without the slightest difficulty. ‘When the ballot for Congressional can- didates was taken at the recent district convention in the Fifth there were ninety- six delegates present, twenty-six from BSanta Clara, six from San Mateo and the remainder from San Francisco. Forty- nine votes were necessary for a choice, and this number exactly Kelly received, after the friends of the opposing candi- dates had done everything in their power to win his adherents. ‘While the votes were being recorded the name of W. C. Hanly, a hardware man, was called, and his proxy was offered by | two men, one of them being Thomas J. Walsh and the other a man named Wil- son. Each claimed that he held the only enuine proxy, ana the matter was placed in the hands of a committee, which re- tired at once to passon the documents. The proxy held by Wilson was typewrit- ten, while that in the possession of Walsh was written. After some deliberation the Wilson document was accepted, and the vote secured Kelly the indorsement, he receiving a bare majority. When the result was announced Max Popper arose and moved that the indorse- ment be made unanimous, which was done. Shortly after that rumors came to the ears of the friends of James H. Barry, who had hoped to gain the coveted honor, that underhand .means had been used to gain for Kelly the indorsement of the con- vention, and a quiet invesiigation was begun. : ‘The Hanly proxy matter seemed a fruitful field for research, and those who took the matter in hand were not long in striking a lead that devsloped into just what they had been looking for. Hanly was interviewed and flatly denied that he had given a proxy to any one else than Walsh, and said that if his name was signed to any other document pur- porting to be a proxy it was a forgery. This was enough for those who were look- ing for crooked work, and they at once began a search for means to puil Kelly down on the ground that the indorsement had been gained by fraud, and that he was not really the choice of the convention. Wiliiam Hinton Jr. is one of those who have been taking an active interest in the matter, and he thinks that the crucial test will come vo-night. “There seems to be_no doubt,” he said last evening, “that Kelly’s indorsement for the nomination was secured by means ot a forged proxy. Whether he was cog- nizant that the matter was being handled as it was does pot appear, nor does it really matter, for if he did not bave a genuine majority he did not get the in- dorsement fairly and should not be al- lowed to keep it. “Hanly has stated” unequivocally that he did mnot give any one but Walsh a roxy, and his affidavit to that effect will e secured and presented, with other evi- dence that has been gathered, at the meet« ing of the State Central Committee to- night. “We hope of course that this will re- open the entire matter, and that the in- dorsement will be ignored by the State Convention, but there may be an obstacle to this in the action of the District Con- yention .in making the indorsement unanimous. Mr. Popper of "course had not the slightest idea that there was any- thing wrong when he moved to make the indorsement unanimous, or it never would have taken that shape. “However, there 1s no doubt that there will be an interesting time at the meetin, to-night, and if Kelly pulls thmni it wil be because of his superior strength.” Aty BRYAN SAYS “THANKS!I” The German Democratic Club Re- ceives Lstters From Bryan and Sewall. The German-American Democratic State Central Club signalized its meeting in the editorial-rooms of the California Dem- okrat Wednesday by receiving and filing with pride letters from W. J.

Their necessities have forced their investiga- tion of this question, and all who do inves - gate it with an unprejudiced motive come to one conclusion as to ihe cause ot our distress to-day—our defective monetary system—and the remedy lies in a reform of that system and restoration of silver to a primary pwneg and free coinage, unrestricted and unlimited, to both gold and silver. Yours truly, ARTHUR SEWALL. A No Fusion With Democracy. Chairman Wardall of the State Central Committee of the People’s party of Cali: fornia will leave for Los Angeles this morping to attend the Congressional Con- vention of the People’s party. He informed a CALL reporter yesterday that the proposed scheme for a fusion of Democrats and Populists on the Congres- sional ticket in that district had fallen through because of the inability of the Democrats to agree upon a man with whom they could fuse. “We will nominate a man of our own for Congress,”” ssid Cbairman Wardall, *and the chances are that we will put up a straight ticket all through. There are three candidates for Congress there: Rev. W. C. Bowman, H. C. Dillon and A. R. Sprague. Nothing will be done with ref- erence to the proposed fusion on Presiden- tial electors until after the meeting of the National Executive Committee of the Peo- ple’s party in Washington next week. By that time the Democratic National Com- mittee will have been heard from and a basis of union will have been formulated.” r. Wardall will return to this City next Monday. e, A Bryan and Sewall Club. A Bryan and Sewall Club was organized in the Forty-third District at California Hall, 620 Bush street, last night.

The Drivers of the Wagon Taken Into Custody by Police Cap- tain Spillane. Captain Spillane of the police made an important capture of diseased meat yes- terday, and as a consequence Thomas Ma- loney and Patrick Harrington are now charged with violating the laws against selling or having in possession tainted meat, and a warrant is out for Hugh O’Neil, whose horse-slaughtering estab- lishment was exposed several months ago. The men were driving a wagon loaded with the meat to town from the direction of South San Franciscc yesterday when stopped by the police officer. He sur- mised that the meat was not fit for food and held them in custody until Market Inspector Ben Davis could be summoned. The Inspector at once said that the beef was from cattle that had suffered from tuberculosis and he swore to complaints against the men. They stated they had received the meat from Hugh O'Neil, whote slaughtering establishment was re- cently moved across the San Mateo County line and that they had been instructed to dellver the meat to Tuck Hing, a Chinese butcher at 746 Sacramento street. Hing and O’Neil will also be arrested for par- ticipating in the handling of the meat. Dr. Neif, the acting veterinary surgeon of the Board of Health, stated that the meat was the worst he had ever seen. Ef- forts had been made to remove all evi- dences of tuberculosis from the carcasses, but many remained, the tubercles adher- ing to the ribs being as large as marbles. ————— THE EXAMIN:R WILL MOVE. Its Plant to Be Placed in the Nucleus Building. It is probable that in the near future the Examiner will be moved to the Nucleus building on Market and Third streets. Some time ago W.R. Hearst purchased this property with a view of establishing there a new home for his p: Lack of room and other causes caus, porarily abandon the project. That hein- tends soon to make this move is apparent from the fact that he has recently pur- chased of the Cook estate twenty feet more of ground on Stevenson and Third streets.

From what can be learned, the Nucleus building will not be torn down, but exten- sive alterations will be made that will per- mit the housing of the Examiner there. GOLD FOR GOLD 10 BE THE RULE, No Cause for Uneasiness Among Savings Bank Depositors. POLICY OF THE BANKS. There Will Be No Attempt to Pay in Silver Should That Metal Be Remonetized. BANEKERS MUST BE HONEST. Their Prosperity and Existence De- pends on the Confidence of Their Customers. One of the unexpected results of the present agitation of the money question is the uneasiness that has been created in the minds of savings bank depositors, and for which there is no apparent reason. This feeling has deterred some from mak- ing further deposits and induced others to withdraw some portion, and in a few in- stances all, of their money from the insti- tutions to which it had been intrusted. The result of this, it is claimed, is notin any way to weaken the banks, but to cause a contraction in the present amount of gold in circulation. Pe.ople, instead of putting their savings in banks, whence they are returned to circulation through loans, keep their money about their per- son or secrete it in some place in or about their dwelling, where it is kept idle and rendered unfruitful. This feeling of uneasiness is due to the fear that should silver be remonetized at the ratio of 16 to 1 the banks would at- tempt to repay depositors who had sur- rendered gold in silver coin that would in the opinion of these fearsome people be at a discount. How unfounded are such misgivings is shown by the interview with President B. A. Becker of the German Savings and Loan Society. “Nothing more absurd could be con- ceived than this idea,” said Mr. Becker, when the subject was broached to bim. “You ask whether the savings banks will attempt to repay depositors in silver should free silver be declared for in the coming election. Most decidedly not. “The bank that would attempt to do that could not keep its doors open for forty-eight hours. 'here would be no need to pursue such a course. Let me explain: “'All loans made by the savings banks of this City, and of the whole State for that matter, are made payable in gold coin— both principal and interest. We receive gold from depositors—the gold with which to make these loans, and it is preposterous to suppose that any bank will attempt to pnydluck to depositors anything else but old. B *‘We handle very little silver, and fre- quently have to send to the Mint to get what little silver coin we require to make change. We would thus have to go out of our way to procure silver, and the method we would have to follow under such cir- cumstances would be nothing less than dis- honest. “The moment you find a man dishonest you don’t want to do any more business with him, and the savings bank business more than any other is built up on confi- dence. The moment that is lacking up goes the bank.” When Mr. Becker’s attention was called to the fact that a question had arisen as to whether contracts, notes, mortgages, etc., made payable in gold coin could notbe paid in any legal tender—silver, if that metal was remonetized—he replied: “A specific contract law exists in Cali- fornia which provides that contracts made payable in gold must be paid in that kind of coin. There are some States in which there is no such law, and all debts can be paid in any legal tender, no matter what is specified in the contract. In such States gold, nbacks, gold notes, silver certificates, National bank notes and sil- ver coin, shoiuld silver be remonetized, would all be availaple for the use of the debtor.” NEW TO-DAY. .
