4 THE SAN FRANCUISUU CALL, SATUKDAY, AUGU FUSION EFFECTED I WASHINGTON, Populists Give Democrats One Nomination for Congress. LEWIS THEIR CHOICE. Free-Silver Republicans Name W. C. Jones for a Like Position. STATE OFFICES DISTRIBUTED. Third Party Leaders Succeed in Cap- turing a Mcjority of the Piaces. ELLENSBURG, Wasa., Aug. 14.—The Populists to-night conceded the Congress- man to the Democrats, thereby perfecting a fusion. The fight had waged furiously all day, and at many times the scheme appeared doomed to defeat. It required the combined efforts of the leaders of the three parties to bring about the long- sought result. Under the agreement reached the Popu- lists were entitled to two electors, Gov- ernor, Lieutenant-Governor, Secretary of State, Treasurer, Auditor and Land Com- missioner. The Democrats got two elect- ors, Congressman, members of the Su- preme Court and State Printer. The Free Silver Repub’icans a Congressman, Attor- ney-General and State Superintendent of Public Instruction. Fusion accomplished, the Democrats re- | assembled and proceeded at once to nomi- nations. James Hamilton Lewis of Seattle was given the Congressional nomination by acclamation, and H. N. Caton of Whit- man County and I. N. Maxwell of What- com County were chosen Presiaential electors. Colonel Lewis was his party’s candidate for Governor, and it was be- cause of the fight of his friends for the Governorship that fusion was so long de- layed. He is a native of Georgia, about 36 years old, and has been a resideni of the State of Washington for ten years. By profession Colonel Lewis is a lawyer, one of the ablest in the State. Ih accepting the nomination Lew:s said he indorsed the Chicago platform in its entirety and 1f elected would do all in his power to aid in carrying out the reforms advocated by ‘-the matchless Bryan.”” John B. Reavis of Yakima was nomi- nated over George W. Belt of Spokane for Superior Judge, the vote on the final bal- lot being 198 to 182, Hicks of Thurston County re- ceived the nomination for State Printer, | completing the Democratic portion of the ticket. The conventi adjourned until 10 o’clock to-morrow, in order to agree with the other parties upon & name for the official ticket. The Populists deferred their nomina- tions until morning. The free-silver Republicans named Hon. W. C. Jones of Spokane, the present Attorney-General of the State, for Con- gress from the Eastern Washington Dis- trict, his colleague, Lewis, having been named for the west side, though the State bas not been divided'into Congressional districts. Colonel Patrick Henry Winston of 8pokane received the fusion nomination for Attorney-General at the bands of the free-silver Republicans. This faction completed its portion of the ticket by the selection of FrankJ. Browne of Seattle, principal of the Colum- bia School, as Superintendent of Public Instruction. Before adjournment the Democratic Convention instructed its secretary to send this telegram to Candidate Bryan: Silver forces of Washington united. The State is yours, The Democrats to-day adopted a plat- form in part as follows: We demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the ration of 16 to 1 with- out waiting for any other mation on earth. We denounce the pretenses of the Republicans that they fayor international bimetallism asa wubterfuge, an attempt to establish a gold aris- tocracy with the aid of those who may be duped by & meaningless phrase. We denounce the present Republican admipistration of our State as outrageous, corrupt, scandal-breeding | and a willful abuse of the people’s rights. We call the attention of the common people to the perpetuation in our State of u gigantic Repub- licen ring which uses public patronage to conurol future elections, to perpetuate itself in control of the public purse, using the gigantic earnings of corporations, by methods of Fed- eral receiverships, to dictate the selections of our represes.tatives in Congress and Senate. | We recognize iu the coming election a crisis in the affairs of the Government. We are threatened with the destruction of the prin- ciples ot self-government. National banks, transportation and manufacturing corpora. tions, gold manipulators of Wall street and | Lombard street, claim the right to govern | for us. The Democracy wears no collar, serves no master. It hason its side the plain people of the country and the State, and to them we appeal, with the unquestioning belief that in this, our trial and_tribulation, right will con- quer, wrong will be dethroned, the ever- controlling masses will overthrow the classes, the people wili again assume authority and prosperity will return. The Free Silver Republican Convention adopted a platiorm in part as follows: We believe that the widespread prostration ofour industries, the declive in agriculture, the embarrassment of our commerce and the ever increasing distress of all our progucers, conditions the existence of which is admitted by ali, are directly traceable to the contraction of eurrency resuliing from the demonetization | oi silyer, and_we demand the immediate re- storation of silver by a law requiring its free, unlimited and independent coinage at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1 at our nints. We call the attention of the public to the fact that the people of the United States pro- duce and consume, in all important products - of industry, more than one-half as much as all the baiunce of the earth combined; that the tonnage of our raiiroads exceeds by 60,000,000 tons annually the tonnage of ell foreign rail- roads, added to the entire water trafic of the world, and that as a consequence of such enor- mous industrial energy our pzople annually transact fully one-third of the entire volume | of the world’s business; and we therefore de- nounce as cowardly the pusillanimous and American declaration of the National Republi- can pletform that this country cannot regulate its own financial system without foreign aid or interference, and regard the suggestion of an international agreement as insiticere and contemptible; and we demand the repeal of any and all laws authorizing the destruction of the legal-tender quality ot money by pri- vate contract. We demand the foreclosnre of the mortzages held by the Government on the Unicn Pacific Railroad, and should the Government through such foreciosure come into ownership and pos- session of the same we favor its operation by the Government. SAN JOSE'S STUDENT ROLL Increased Attendance Will Mark the Open- ing of the University of the Pacific. SAN JOBE; CiL., Aug. 14.—The Univer- sity of the Pacific will open next Tuesday morning, with a larger registration than in the last five years.

Cun- ningbam; vice-president, Philip Sheehy; secretary, Charles Graham; treasurer, Thomas Robinson; sergeant -at - arms, Joseph Farry; librarian, Mathew Draghic- evich. kg s Allender Chavrged With Murder.

Ai- lender will be arraigned on the twocharges Monday. SEARCH [N FRESHO HILLS Officers and Loggers Still on the Trail of Murderer Cass Colvin. One Party Intent on a Lynching ani the Other Striving to Pre- vent It FRESNO, CArL., Aug. 14.—Cass Colvin, the cutthroat who murdered his brother- in-law, Robert L. Totton, at Sequoia Mills on Tuesday evening, is still at large. A telephone message received at 9 o’clock to-night from the mills stated that, as far as known there, no trace of the fugitive had been found. The fury of the loggers over the atrocious murder has abated somewhat, and this morning they went back to work again, after having kept the mills closed for two days while they searched for the murderer with the avowed intention of lynching him. The foreman of the logging-camp and the superintendent of the mills have each de- tailed a number of men to continue the pursuit. The pacification of the loggers has not by any means lessened their de- termination to lynch Colvin if they can get their hands onto him. Deputy Sheriff Timmins and Constable Ingels are prosecuting the search on horse- back and are now in Sampson Flat, this side of the mills. They are confident that Colvin is making his way to the valley with the purpose of getting out of the country by stealing rides on the railroad. It is hardly probable that he ventured near the sawmills, which he would have tc do to strike the road which leads to the valley. The officers are confident that Colvin took a round-about trail which leads through Sampson Flat and the Little and Big Deer Valleys, and they are follow- ing this course. The Deputy Sheriff and constable would not allow any of the loggers to accompany if they catch him, out of the mountains before the loggers can hear of it, and save him from lynching. Deputy District Attorney Williams re- turned to-day from the scene of the mur- der, whither he went to gather testimony. He says that the fury of the loggers over the murder was awful for two days after the tragedy. The wife of the murderer was a raving maniac, and the wife of the murdered man was almost distracted, and this aroused the anger of all the men toa high pitch. They are all the rough men of logging camps, and their treatment of Colvin, if they bad captured him, would undoubtedly have bordered on the bar- baric. T PRINTERS ELECT OFFICERS. Oakland Selected as the Next Meeting- Place of the State Union. FRESNO, Car., Aug. 14.-The State Typographical Union concluded its ses- sion this evening with a banquet at the Pleasanton Hotel. It wasa very pleasant affair. Assemblyman and Editor N. L. F. Bachman acted as toast-master. At the session during the day consider- able business was transacted. The labor laws proposed by Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald were read and approved, and the union extended a vote of thanks to the Commissioner for his efforts in behalf of labor. A resolution was adopted urging investigation of the State Printing Office, which, it was stated, was conducted in a manner reflecting great discredit to the craft. The following officers were elected for 1896: President, A. D. Marshall of Fresno; vice-president, C. H. Prisk of Grass Valley; secretary and treasurer, A. J. Read of Oak- land; executive committee—E. 1. Wood- man of Sacramento, C. D. Rogers of OaXland, C. E. Backess of San Francisco; delegate’ to International Typographica Union convention at Colorado Springs, E. L Woodman of the Sacramento Bee. Oakiand was selected as the place for bolding the next meeting of the State union. s —_—— DIES AT VIRGINIA CITY. Robert P. Keating, Mine Superintendent and Politician, Succumbs to Typhoid Fever. VIRGINIA CITY, Nev., Aug. 14— Robert P. Keating, superintendent of the Savage, Justice and other Comstock mines, who has been a leader of the Demo- cratic party in the State of Nevada for twenty vears and one of the best-known men on the Pacific Coast, died at 8 o’clock last night from hemorrhage of the stomach. Mr. Keating went to the Chicago National Convention at the head of the contesting delegation from Nevada. His efforts to have that delegation seated, to- gether with the debilitating influence of the Chicago climate, so taxed his energies as to bring on a serious sttack of typhoid fever. After leaving the Chicago con- vention he went to Niagara, ana then to New York, where he remained for a few days and then started on his return home, He was greatly fatigued, and seemed to be suffering from a nervous collapse after the excitement of his convention work. When he reached home two weeks ago he was very ill, and failed steadily until last night, when a hemorrhage, superinduced by a severe attack of vomiting, killed him. The body is to betaken to San Fran- cisco, and will be accompanied by a num- ber of Nevada citizens, friends of the Keating family. The cortege will start from the residence of Mrs. M. 0. 0'Sulli- van, corner of Bush and Leavenworth streets, and will proceed to St. Ignetius Church, where the funeral sermon will be College, over forty pupils from that insti. preached at 10:30 o’clock Sunday morning, They will try to get the murderer, | in the large hall was occupied and the MeKIRLAY TALKS T0 NAPA VOTERS Logical Discussion of the Issues Now Before the People. FREE COINAGE FAVORED By International Agreement Can Silver Become a Stablé Standard. CAUSE OF THE “HARD TIMES.” Prosperity Will Return When the Factories of the Land Are Reopened. NAPA, CavL., Aug. 14,—There was mu- sic, red fire and a stir on the streets of Napa last night, The occasion was the opening of the political campaign here by the Republicans. A meeting was held in the handsomely decorated Maple Hall Rink. It was presided over by T. B. Hutchinson, president of the McKinley and Hobart Club of this city. and on the platform fifty or more vice-presidents, with members of the band and the Repub- lican glee club, were seated. Every seat standing room was taken. After a couple of songs by the glee club Mr. Hutchinson in a three-minute speech introduced D. E. McKinlay of Santa Rosa. Mr. McKinlay opened with a plain state- ment of the political situation and an as- surance that no attempt would be made to gain votes by belittling or abusing the opposition. Two great econom:c propo- sitions confronted the people, he said. One related to the tariff and the other to finance. The financial question was first taken up and it was treated in a manner calculated to enlighten any mind inter- ested in the subject. The history of gold and silver and their service as money to the. different countries of the world was traced from the year 1800 down to the present time, and the fact was made plain that the commercial value of the metal bad all to do with a proper fixing of the ratio; that legislation could raise the price but not increase the value. The greenback was cited, and the time recalled when $1 in gold wonld bring $2 85 of such money. The further fact was shown that under the operation of what was called the Gresham jaw the cheaper would always drive the dearer money out of the country, The speaker maintained | that the same force employed to demon- etize silver would have to be applied to re- monetize it—to raise it from 68 cents an ounce (the present price) to $129, the price paid under a 16 to 1 ratio. Mr. McKinlay recited the history of de- monetization of silver in France, Germany and the Latin Union countries, and re- viewed the conditions that led to such a revision of monetdry-systems. He, of course, referred to “the crime of ’73,” and showed that money legislation of that period was not the consummation of a great and wicked conspiracy; that silver was not stricken down in the night, but hat the bill which lefs the silver dollar out in enumerating the coins to be minted was under consideration three years; that it was the subject of a great number of speeches, and its discussion covered hun- dreds of pages of the Congressional Record. He explained the term 16 to 1, and said that to return to the bimetallism of 1873 the Nation must return to the conditions that prevailed previous to 1873, when silver was worth 129 cents an ounce. The dollars of Mexico and the United States were contrasted, and the difference in their parchasing power explained in the fact that gold stood behind the American dollar and made 1t worth double that of a Mexican _dollar, notwithstanding its lighter weight in actual silver. The speaker said he was a free-silver man, but wanted free silver on a perma- nent and enduring basis, and that was by | international a:reement. He spoke of the growing bimetallic sentiment in the Parliament of Great Britain and the favorable prospect of reaching bimetal- lism under an administration as friendly to silver as was the Republican party. The tariff question was ably discussed and the truth made plain that this issue, which the Democracy is so anxious to evade, is really the most important one before the American people to-day. By and through protection, he declared, pros- perity would again come to this country, and the wheels which had been standing still and the machinery which had been rusting the past three years would move again to the touch of contented and well- paid labor. A grand tribute was paid to the party’s standard-bearer, William McKinley of Ohio, and favorable mention was made of Congressman Barham’s candidacy. Both names were heartily applauded. The “man on the fence” was talked to likea brother,and when Mr. McKinley took his seat it was found that he had talked for two hours and held his audience to a man through al: that time. The speech was often interrupted by applause. At the close of the meeting a large num- ber of names were added to_the McKinley and Hobart Club roll, and McKinley but- tons by the score were pinned to the coats of voters whose hearts beat in unison with the shout for ‘‘Protection, prosperity and i"“l: as good money for the poor as for the rich. Bl e oL POPULISTS AT SAN LUIS, Dillon and Bowman Lead in the Raoce for the Congressional Nomination. SAN LUIS OBISPO, Car., Aug. 14— Populists of the Sixth Congressional Dis- trict have gathered in San Luis Obispo to nominate a candidate for Congress. Los Angeles is supplying the largest crop of aspirants for the honor. Its candidates are: W. C. Bowman, the candidate of two years ago; H. C. Dillon and Judge A. J. Utley. Dillon and Bowman are in the lead. 2 Utley is an 0ld man, much esteemed for his work in the cause of Populism in Los Angeles County. He favors Dillon, but in the event that Bowman develops more strength he has a little bee in his bonet which will be allowed to buzz the query, ‘*How would I do for a compromise candi- date?” Utley is making war on Bowman, whose nomination, he believes, would be a grave mistake. Hon. Thomas V. Cator address~d the delegates to-night. He pre- dicted that 1f McKinley was elected war would follow before another Presidential election, R L ZLOS ANGELES RALLY. Music Hall Crowded With Enthusiastic McKinley Supporters. LOS ANGELES, CAn., Aug. 14.—The formal opening of the Republican cam- paign in the Sixth Congresrional District 'was made this evening under the suspices of the McKinley Ciub, an organization formed several months ago. President Flint in opening the meeting said that at the organization of the clubhe had pre- | the high Sierra, midway between Summit dicted the nomination of McKinley on the I first ballot at St. Louis. That prediction had been fulfilled, and he now .predicted his triumphant election in November, a sentiment which was cheered to the echo. The great Music Hall was packed to the doors long before the speaking began, many ladies being present. Large litho- aphs of Washington and Lincoln flanked the platform, while a splendid portiait of the champion of protection seemed to smile down upon the assemblage from above and back of the large number o{ vice-presidents who had seats upon the stage, any leading Democrats were in the audience. Cheer after cheer ‘was given the white-haired veterans of the civil war as they walked to the platform. Colonel R, B. Treat was the chairman of the evening, and Congressman McLach- lan, recentiy nominated to succeed him- self, was the principal speaker. The ap- plause was tremendous when the orator arose tospeak. In a distinct and delib- erate manner he placed himself squarely upon the St. Lonis platform, for protec- tion and sound money, amid the wildest entbusiasm. Mr. McLachlan was fol- lowed by District Attorney Donnell and others. It was a great demonstration, and gave the most gratifying encouragement to ihe peorle present. i S P Southern California Headquarters. LOS ANGELES, Can, Aug. 14.—The auxiliary comimittee of the Republican State Executive Committee for Southern California was organized yesterday, with H. Z. Osborne of the Evening Express as chairman and W. F. X. Parker secretary. The committee’s headquarters are at the Westminster Hotel. Adjoining the auxil- iary committee’s rooms are thoseof the Sixth District Congressional Committee, and a few doors away the rooms of the Re- Eub}imn County Committee, so the several ;1:;:: are located conveniently to each other, o Santa Clara Registration. SAN JOSE, Car., Aug. 14.—The total Tegistration of voters in Santa Clara County foots up 13,658. The great register of 1894 contained 14,078 names, 420 more than this year's. No registration was re- quired in 1894 and there were a large num- ber of deceased voters and non-residents | on the register. The total vote of the whole county two years ago was a little over 12,000 and it is believed that this year the vote will reach 13,000. The registra- tion of the principal cities and towns of the county is as follows: San Jose 5184, Gilroy 451, Santa Clara 531, Mountain View 551, Los Gatos 363, Mayfield 383.

PORTLAND, Or., Aug. 14.—Franz Proetzlich and Hermann Spannacher, the | heads of two Bohemian families which recently located in Sullivans Gulch, are at loggerheads because of the out- come of a peculiar commereial | transaction. These people came from Seattle three months ago and engaged in peddling. Both couples were childless, and about six weeks ago Mrs. Spannacher packed up her small belongings one night and fled with a countryman of hers, several years her junior, whom she had known on the sound. Spannacher made no ado over his wife's deserticn, and it subsequently became known that for a long time his affections had been centered upon Mrs. Proetzlich. Less than three weeks ago the two ped- dlers entered into a strange commercial transaction. Spannacher made Proetzlich | an offer of $150 and all his stock in trade for the latter's wife. This, after a few hours’ deliberation, was accepted. The papers were made out., Mrs. Proetzlich, without a murmur, passed from the cus- tody of her lawful husband to that of the other man. This state of affairs glided along smooth- ly until last Wednesday, when she refused to live longer with her new “owner’ and returned to her husband. Spannacher’s pleadings with the womau having no ef- | fect upon her, he came to the West Side this morning to cause the arrest of Proetz- lich for obtaining money and goods from him under false pretenses. Spannacher claims that his_human chattel professed to have great aifection for him, which he had no reason to doubt until the woman deserted him. He further alleges that he | is the victim of a conspiracy b tween both Proetzlich and his wife to defraud him. Spannacher, though, was advised to pocket his loss without making a fuss about it, else he might get himself into more serious trouble. The dupe took ths hint and there at present rests the story of his second love. —— CASCADE’S BLOOMER DANCE. Fin de Siecle Function at the Crest of the Sicrra. SUMMIT, CarL, Aug. 14.—Cascade is a village little known to the outside world, it being an obscure telezraph station in and Cisco, but this small station enjoys the distinction of being the first place in the hign Sierra to introduce the bloomer dance. A large gathering of pleasure-seekers camped thereabouts gave a hop in the reception-room of the telegraph office last evening, and, with the exception of a few elderly ones, all the ladies present were attired in bloomers. The room was beautifully decorated with ferns and mountain lilies. These, with the glare of adozen or more Japanese lanterns, con- trasted strangely with the outside environ- ments. Among those present were: Mrs. Len Dorsey, Misses Frances Dorsey, Alice Hassell, May Griswold, Genevieve Thomas, Mrs. Josie Curry, Miss Lotta Pulse of Sacrameneo, Mrs. T. G. Akers of Truckee, Len Dorsey Jr., A. B. McRae, F. J. Young, J. J. Flaherty, J. B. Green, C.T. Zintz of Sacramento, M. Albert Dooley of Snmmit. ponbursnis' 26 ek Garratt at Enseneda.

STIRRING ADDRESSES. Comrades Will Do Missionary Work Among the Labor- ing Men. TO SPREAD POLITICAL LIGHT A Great Meeting Under the Auspices of a Splenaid Organiza- tion. One of the best meetings of the cam- paign was held last night by the McKin- ley Veteran Boldiers’ and Sailors’ Repub- lican Club at 113 Turk street. It was ad- dressed by Major C. W. Kyle and H.C. Firebaugh. This organization is composad of ex- Union and Mexican veterans. It was cre- ated in June, 1892, for a twofold purpose. First, to further the election of Benjamin Harrison, and second, to work for the purification of municipal politics. For four years the organization has kept its headquarters open daily, and visiting comrades from all parts of the country have received a cordial welcome. Its cor- responcence extends to evefy kindred organization in the State, and its influ- ence has been felt in more than one cam- paign. ‘While the club is strictly a veteran organization, it has an honorary roll, and on the list will be found many citizens prominent in the Republican party. Turough the influence of this club many worthy veterans have secured positions of trust in civil and public offices, and the club can well feel proud that it has in no instance secured a position for one of %ts members that he wasnot competent to fill, and that none have proved false to the trust confided in them. The present officers are Fergns Hanrson, president; Frank W. Whiteside, vice- president; W. B. Maydwell, second vice- | president; E. P. Morey, secretary, and L. D. Olin, treasurer. The enroliment of the club is now 300. Judging from the activity manifested and | the enthusiasm displayed last night the | number will be.largely augmented during | the next month. Alter the meeting last night there was a general reunion of comrades. Refresh- ments were served, acquaintances re- newed, the merits of public speakers dis- | cussed and many topics of interest dwelt apon. Major Kyle's address was highly re- garded. These veterans are men of sound judgment, gained by long experience. They appreciate the danger that men, | wichout reflection, may be misled by false romises of prosperity under the rule of ree silver, as they once were by promises It was resolved to hold meetings every Friday night and comrades agreed to ao | missionary work among the laboring men on other nights. In the course of his address to the veterans last night Major Kyle said: The Republican party stands to-day, as it has ever stood, for the honor and integrity of the Nation. Itstands as the friend and cham- pion of American labor. It recognizes the great fundamental truth of nature, t he great | truth which underlies all civilization, which | 18 that labor is the primal and only source of wealth, It demands that the labor of this country shall be paid in & dollar that is worth 100 cents in any part of the world. Itbelieves and affirms that there should not be one kind of dollar for the rich and a cheaper one for the poor. It does not beiieve in making the rich rieher and the poor poorer. It believes that the greatest boon that can be conferred upon the American workman is to open the mills, light the fires, start the looms and enhance the value of the cereals of our land by presarving the American markets for the products of American labor. It believes in shutting out the influx of | cheap foreign goods, produced by the under- paid labor of foreign countries. It believes in America producing, in so far s it is possible, all that Americans consume. It dogs not believe that the creation of a me- | dium of exchange of doubtful and uncertain value can ever benefit the labor of this coun- try, but that such a course will prove a curse to the labor of America. It believes that the only way by which tha mechanicand farmer, the manufacturer and merchant of America can be benefited and our now paralyzed industries revived is by the en- forcement of the great doctrine of protection to American industries, as represented by that wise, able, prudent soldier-statesman, William McKinley. H. C. Firebaugh’s address won the earn- est attention of the audience. He spoke of the value of maintaining sound money and the 1nterests in the struggle which 9,000,000 of depositors in the savings banks of the United States must feel. The assembled veterans extended a vote of thanks to Mr. Firebaugh for his able address. oot BLAINE REPUBLICANS. An Enthusiastic Meeting Held Last Night at K. R. B. Hall on Mason Street. From the enthusiastic manner in which the members of the Blaine Republican Club condncted their meeting last night at K. R. B. Hall, on Mason street, an ob- | server would imagine that the municipal nominations had already been made and that active preparations were being made by the officers of the club to rally to the polls and there cast their votes for the entire Republican ticket. Messrs. Davie, Sullivan, Sweeney, Grad y and other able speakers entertained the club with eloquent speeches on the issues of the campaign, announcing the false is- sues of the Damocratic party. Between the speeches patriotic songs were sung by Dwight Foster and H. L. McRede, all of which was much enjoyed. The following resolution was adopted : Resolved, That this club recognizes in the person of J. D. Spreckels 8 man eminently fit with the policy of William McKinley and calling upon all the members of the camp to vote and labor for the success of Eugene F. Loud. His remarks were received with applause. The action of the other camps in rec- ommending the candidacy of the colonel of Alger Camp, Leon E. Jones, for Sheriff of the City and County of San Francisco, was unanimously indorsed and Colonel Jones acknowledged the camp’s action in a short speech. The camp also recom- mended the candidacy of Dr. J. H. Sophen a member of Alger Camp, for the position of Coroner. g A. H. Adamas, lately from Washington, now a resident of San Francisco and a member of the camp, made a short Re- publican speech, setting forth the duty of the soldiers who saved the Union in "the great war to again put forth their best ef- forts to preserve its life and prosperity by voting for the Republican candidates. The meeting was a large one, and th ose present were all enthusiastic in their de-. termination to vote and work for, and in their belief in the triumphal victory of Republican candiaates and measures in November next. sl S IN THE THIRTY-THIRD. The Spreckels Republican Club Met and Adopted Stirring Resolutions. A special meeting was held last evening by the Spreckels Republican Club at the rooms of the Mission Athletic Club in the Thirty-third District, San Bruno road, I. Kiddney presiding. The following resolutions were adopted : WHEREAS, The Republican party of S8an Fran- cisco has seen fit to place J. D. Spreckels at the head of their party, a tried and true Republi- can, and who has the confidence of the people and the interest of the Republican party at heart; therefore be it Resolved, That this organization ignores all other leaders, and pledges its members to do all in their power for the Hon. J. D. Spreckels, the local leader of the great Republican party. Seventy-eight members answered the rolleall. Several prominent members of the organization expressed their views on leading political questions of the day. Thirteen new members signed the roll. A vote of thanks was tendered to Tom Barry for the use of his clubrooms and his able manner in_ aiding the organization. A vote of thanks was tendered the chair for the able manner in conducting the business of the organization. CHRISTIAN _ CORVENTICH Annual Meeting of the Young Men’s Association of the World. The “Paris Basis” of Membership Known as the Portland Test Is Adopted. GENEVA, SwiTzernanp, Aug. 14.—An important meeting of the international committee of the Y. M. C.

This committee is appointed by the the associations, now numbering 5700, with a total membership of 500,000, of which 1406 associations, with 265,000 mem- bers, are in America. Encouraging re- ports of the work in various countries were presented, showing marked progress since the jubilee convention in London in 1894, A number of important questions relai- ing to the growth and improvement of the work, more particularly in Continental countries, were carefully consider d. Among the resolutions passed was one adopting the ‘*Paris basis'’ of membership, which was adopted by a convention held in Parisn 1885, and which is known to association men in America as the Port- land test of active membership. The Paris basis is recognized by all the associations affiiiated in the world’s alliance, but is practically disregarded in some Conti- nental countries, whare nominal member- shipin the state church is substituted for it. It was voted to hold the next world’s conference in Basle, Switzerland, in Au- gust, 1897, after which the meeting ad- journed sine die. e INTO AN OPEN SWITCH.

C., Aug. 14.—Bush fires are raging on the mainland of British Columbia. The farming districts of Burn- aby will, it 1s feared, be swept by the seas of fire. Last night in spite of the tireless exertions of special firemen seyeral set- tlers were forced to leave their homes and witness their houses and sheds destroyed by flames. 7 The northern part of Westminster City is still threatened, and a fire force has had little rest in ten days, working in shifts to keep the flames in check. Vancouver is saved by its circle of water. but the woods all around the city are in flames, and smoke and ashes irom the fires are falling within the city Jimits. The smoke is so thick at night thatnavigation is both diffi- cult and dangerous. There has been no heayy rain for months, and the wind is constantly blowing in the wrong direc- tion.
