THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 15, 1896. 5 BUCKLEYS PLAY | FOR A LEGISLATURE A Bright Scheme for Local Fusion With the Sil- ver Party. PARTY WAR DEVELOPS. The Buckleyites Making Aggres- sive Preparations for Courts and Conventions. NO PRIMARY FOR THE JUNTA. McNab, Popper and Sullivan Plan to1 tion. Name a Decent Local Conven- tion Themselves. The outright clash of arms between the | trust the | general committee was elected. Popper and the one or two others who manage to keep the upper hand on the main deck, don’t propose to risk anything at a primary election, and their only hope of controlling the convertion isin appoint- ing it themseives, There are not many people who doubt that Sam Rainey and Ed Lanigan will control the convention, <o far as nominations for Supervisors and patronage offices go, at least, but McNab and Popper have an idea that they will be able to keep the majority out of Rainey’s hands. _The scheme of appointing the conven- tion is an especially “raw” one under_the present circumstances, but it is justified by the plea that it wouldn’t be safe to Democratic voters to name the convention, and that & body of wisely selected men would name a much better ticket. The history of even municipal Democracy does not present anywhere as violent a departure from time-honored party principles and methods. There was a primary in 1892 at which a In 1894 Chairman Max Popper was afraid of a primary, and the general committee ap- vointed the municipal conyention of that year. At this conyention Chairman Eugene Deuprey appointed the ‘Deuprey committee,”” and arbitrarily assigned it powers not provided by the convention. | It was forgotten for a year and a nalf and then resuscitated. The Watkins com- mittee, named by McNab and one or two others, was appointed to act with it, and {the two committees appointed a new general committee at the time of {the rupture of the old organiza- A second general committee slected at & farcical primary, but wholly named by McNab anc Sullivan, was chosen and now exists.

All of this is apart from possible combinat! of Democrats rites in the State campaign, Junta has just taken some half- steps to organize district Demo- ic clubs. They will be called Bryan Sewall clubs, will be rivals to the sil- ites and will be wholly under the jurisdiction of the Junta campaign committee. These two club organization schemes are about the full measure of whatis being done in San Francisco in the line of party club organization. They present a strik. ing contrast to the host of large and en- thusiastic Republican clubs, which are rapialy increasing. The Buckleyites have decided to again change the date of their municipal con- vention to an earlier one, and will hold it on or about the first day of S8eptember. This is done as € war measure, so that their municipal ticket may be nominated | in time to get a test case decided by the supreme Court. | ‘We are going right ahead to nominate | our ticket,’” said Joseph Rothschild, chair- | man of the Buckley general committee | yesterday, “and we will hold our munici pal cenvention at an earlier date than was pianned, so that our case may be taken to the SBupreme Court in time. “Several able lawyers have carefully ex- the merits of our case and their s that the Supreme Court cannot therwise than give us the party desig- Our proceeding will be to apply v to the Supreme Court for a writ damus, directing the Registrar to place our municipal ticket on the official baliot under- the party nmame.

It | is expected to nominate James D. Phelan for Mayor, while the Buckleyites will name Dr. James 1. Stanton. “We have not yet determined any method which shall govern the selection or the time of the municipal convention,” was as far as Chairman Sullivan would go yesterday in ussing the futare. Max Popper was more frank in describ- am opposed to it because it is impossible to hold a primary at which the voters may obtain a fair and bonest result. When- ever the Legislature passes a bill legaliz- ing a postal primary or some other which guarantees security I shall be in favor of primary elections.”” All around the local Democratic tangle becomes daily more complicated and un- certain, with the prospect that the decent Democrats at large will repudiate any ticket or tickets which grow out of it. FlSE S DEMOCRATIC SILVER CLUBS Some of Those Already Organ=- ized by the Buckley= ites. The National Silver Club of the Forty- fourth District was organized at 115 Bay street with seventy-three members and the following officers: President, Henry Wilson; vice-presidents, John Dunn and George Quinn; secretary, Edward Cos- grave; treasurer, Hugh McKivett. The Forty-third District Bryan and Sewall Silyer Club was organized at 620 Bush street the night before last, as fol- lows: Fresident, A. M. Armstrong; secre- tary, Robert C. Scott; vice-presidents, J. M. Crane and Joseph Mansfield ; treasurer, Samuel Newman, The Fortieth Assembly District Bryan and Sewall Free Silver Club was organized last night as follows: President, Robert Haight; first vice-president, W. C. Reed; second vice-president, T. F. Brady; secre- tary, Frank McCarrick; treasurer, Thomas J. Glynn; executive committee—Frank Coffey, John Heaney, Thomas B. McGin- niss, James Readon, Captain C. D. Wheat. Two hundred and ten members signed the roll. It was resolved to meet every Thurs- day evening in Franklin Hall, which has been secured for the campaign. The Bryan and Sewal! Free Silver Club of the Twenty-ninth District was organ- ized last night with the following officers: President, George B. Hughes; first vice- president, Thomas J. Smith; second vice- ?resident, James Hegarty; secretary, Joseph Plunkett; treasurer, M. J. Demp- sey; executive committee—M. Cooney, Michael Kirby, John Manning, Patrick Kindregan and L. Van Sickle, [t was ordered that application be made for ng the situation and prospects of the unta municipal convention. “I don’t consider it the ‘Junta faction’— it is the regularly organized and the recognized Democratic party of San Fran- cisco,” he said. “Under the form of organization the campaign committee of twenty - have under the constitution fuil power to deter- | mine the plan, with full power to act, as to how delegates to the municipal conven- tion shall be appointed, selected or elected, and the number of delegates | Lovelace, : | Chief of Police Crowley, Fire Chef Sulli- WIN DARKEST CHINATOWN." The Board of Health and Chief of Police Explore. AMID MEPHITIC GLOOM. The Humanity-Filled Buildings Where Walls Are Totter- ing to a Fall HING KEE’S VOTIVE OFFERING. In the Foul N _xious Breeding Places of the Microbes of Pestilence. The eternal unhallowed and unhealth- ful condition of Chinatown has been de- scribed until the oft-repeated description has grown insuffrably dreary; yet official visitors always find within that vile terri- tory new features, new shades of filth and unhealthfulness. The Chinaman, prince of uncleanliness as he is and thriving un- der conditions the most unfavorable to life, is constantly producing new evi- dences of the fact that he is difficult to destroy. He is either a salamander or a cat, or both. He seems to worry along quite well with his circulation filled with the noxious fumes of opium and of the mephitic poisons of his domestic cesspool. Death appears to be unable to kill him with the deadly carbonic vapors and the | Board of Health appears to be unable to cleanse or remove him. Yesterday a large number of visitors “did” Chinatown and their inspection was probably deeper and more thorough than that of the ordinary tourist. They dipped down into noisome places, tracked through narrow passages filled with smoke and darkness, groped in underground caverns dank with the humidity.of leaking sewers or with sewage that never pos- sessed an outlet and in all these unspeak- able spots they found men, woman and children—the 1nvincible Chinese whose habitat is a place where oxygen is at a minimum. The party consisted of Health Officer Police Commissioner Tobin 2 guady-robed Chinese woman. A dozen | glasses filled wi'h ]iqior also stood before the engraving. It was the feast-day of some Mongolian goddess, and Hing Kee fully ex- pected that the divinity in the high-colored upbolstery would visit his impure place if he kept the glasses filled and_the grease- lamps trimmed and burning. Down under the sidewalk Hing slaughters ducks and chickens for market, throwing the offal anywhere, to be devoured by the scavenger cats and rats. A neighboring sewer drips into his dininz-room, but this does not seem to trouble Hing Kee nor his fat chil- dren peering at the visitors out of the darkness. Mrs. Kee scowled at a lady re- orter and evidently, woman-lie, blamed ger journalistic sister alone for the in- trusion of the party. Many.other places were inspected, until the inspectors felt that they had imbibed sufficient noxious gases for one day, and the party sought a breathing place in a bealthier locality. The board will hold a special session at 11 o’clock this morning to consider the results of inspection of the rookeries, and will probably condemn a number of build- ings and order them closed pending a legal decision on the question of its right to tear them down. A Free Coinage Club. A free coinage of silver club was formed last evening by citizens of the Forty-second Assembly District at Turn- ers’ Hall. Resolutions indorsing Bryan and Seawall and free silver were adopted. The secretary was instructed to make ap- plication to join the proposed associa- tion of free coinage of silver clubs. Great enthusiasm was shown throughout the meeting and thesilver-tongued orators received great applause. The following ofticers were elected: James Humphrey, president; John J. McGowan, first vice- president; T. Carl Spelling, second vice- president; Henry Clarke, secretary; Fleet F. Strother, treasurer; executive com- JOHN WILLS §§ - T0 BE DECORATED, The Wish of Chief Scan- nell Finally Carried Out. HONORING A FIREMAN. The First Medal Provided Out of the Fund Left by the Chief.

John Wills, district engineer of the Fire Department, will be the recipient on Toursday next of an honor for which the T ALLEY S which shall compose the. convention. They are empowered also to fix the time and place of the convention. “What the campaign committee will do about the comingfmunicipal convention I do not know. There is a difference of opinion among those that I have met. One proposition is that the general com- mittee shall transform itself into a muni- cipal conventinn. Another one is that the campaign committee shall add by appoint- ment o such a convention from 100 to 200 members at large, A third idea is that the campaign committee shall appoint a convention of about 300. Sull another is to bold primaries and elect delegates from the distiicts and some at large. . “L personally favor the plan of appoint- ing a smaller convention of about 300 of the best and most representative Demo- crats that can be selected. I favor that plan because I think the convention would be most free from the influence and control of Sam Rainey. If a ticket were nominated under the influences of Rainey it could not bs elected, in my opinion. ‘‘As to Buckley, he cats no figure in this calculation. 1don’t think Mr. Buck- ley will be able to do anything more than to nominate an independent ticket, the candidates of which must go on the ballot as independents.

At a meeting of the Prosperity Free Coinage of Silver Club of the Twenty-ninth Assembly District, held at Irnsh American Hall, the following officers were elected: Pres.dent, Thomas Marrish; first vice- president, Tim Regan; second vice-presi- dent, James Connoliy, secretaty, James Eagan; treasurer, Charies Wilson. Execu- ive committee—James Hoev, Caleb Rack- liff, Martin Bates, Michael McCarthy and William Collins. One hundred and twenty-five members signed the roll. Application was made for membership in the proposed Associa- tion of Democratic Free Coinage of Silver Clubs. 5 —_——— In the Forty-Fourth. Some voters of the Forty-fourth Assem- bly District met last night at Reimer's Hall, corner of Broadway and Jones street, and organized a Bryan free-silver club. One hundred and fifieen members signed the roll. Following were elected cers: Charles W. Pope, president; Fritz Bode and J. F. Kelly, vice-presidents; G. H. Brunotte, secretary; Rudolph Reimer, treasurer; F. H. Schmaling, sergeant-at- arms; executive committee—F. e, R. Reimer, J. D. Sweeney, H. A.-F"ergpson. il livan, District Engineer O’Shaughnessy, Drs. Morse, Hart, Williamson, Fitzgibbon and Secretary Godcheaux of the Board of Health, Inspectors Davis, Keeney, Sulli- Fay, Officer Butterworth and several news- paper people. As the garty went from place to place, convoyed by the po- lice officer, the Chinese in the streets and in their unsavory abodes stood with their hands under their blouses and stared with characteristic _stolidity. Not a man ex- pressed an objection to the official intruo- sion, but one woman asked “What aw?'’ with an angry rising inflection on the close of the query that snapped like a firecracker. At 110414 Stockton street the party dived down in a malodorous base- ment and came out in a sort of open space in the center of the block. The visitors might have gone furtber, but found their progress stopped by a high brick wall that is tottering for a fall. That building swarms with tenants. The owner of the property has braced the wall with a few timbers, a frail support of the great weight bearing against them. The entire piace is filthy, and has pracfically no sewer for the drainage of its sinks and closets. 1t is owned by the “‘Bottle”’ Koenig estate, At 842 Jackson street is another old vil- lainous rookery containing several shoe- making establishments. The yard is a sort. of tannery and leather-drying place well filled with rubbis: and loud smells, The visitors went torough Bartlett alley and inspected the systems of little kitch- ens built like swallow nests high up on the walls, just abreast of the windows. These frail structures are attached to the walls by the enterprising tenants who add more space to their rooms by so doing. Cooper alley, a small passage’ leading from Jackson street, above Kearny, was next entered. For unadulterated foulness Cooper. alley is a “‘peach.” Among the refuse and rubbish ueaps, the accumula- ticns of years, a lot of family fish were drying. In an old building, half unroofed and ruined, a band of [eariess rats foraged for scraps_of food, and several iean dirty cats slept in the gioom and dust and cob- webs that filled the place. The “Palace Hotel” is a big rookery at 720 Jackson street. It was named aiter the huge Market-street caravansary be- cause of 1ts square court in the center of the building, and that court is almost the vilest spot in Chinatown. Not even the slightest regard is there paid to sanitary regulations. Additional structures have been erected here and there for the ae- commodation of tenants, Chiet Sullivan has been patiently waiting for years to see the place catch fire that he can get an opportunity to clear out that yard. 'ne old Globe Hotel, once a handsome structure, but now the reeking place of all manner of odorous things, was in- spected. It is a place where a pestilence could breed and devastate the land. Down in a darksome basement at 705 Pacific ‘street is the second-hand estab- lishment of Hing Kee. Among the heaps of old traps that Hing Kee buys and selis stood his family, watching the visitors. Several little children, on the approach of the strangers, disappeared in the black loom of the farther part of their celiar- ome. On a_ table stood a row of little grease lamps burning before the picture of WITH TORPLING WALY: | employes of the department have been striving for years past. When Chief David Scannell of the de- partruent died he left in his will a fund of $2000 for medals for the firemen of the de- partment, the interest to be devoted each year to buying appropriate decorations for those whose deeds during each year war- ranted the presentations of such emblems. Up to the present time no single act of any fireman hasentitled him to the honor, and thus the medal that Wills is to re- ceive will be the first provided out of the fund. When the catastrophe at Fifth street and Mint avenue occurred, Wills with his men was the first to arrive on the ground and he rendered heroic service in rescuing women from the shattered building, re- veatedly risking bis life to place them out of harm’s way before the tottering walls fell with the debris that threatened to sac- rifice more lives. v 4 LIGHTS AND ~SHADOWS OF (COPERSALLEY Rookeries in Chinatown That the Board of Health Will Condemn To-Day. mittee—John J.

The Queen of England was not behind- hand in hospitality toward the Boston corps, and their visit to Windsor Castle will be reckoned among the most pleasant and most memorable of their experiences. Her Majesty’s cordial welcome, the an- cient castle, the exquisite grounds, mili- tary pageants and a brilliant company combined to please them, while the royai refection in the Orangery, spread and served by the royal footmen in their scar- let liveries, could not have been better ar- ranged. The buffet was loaded with every- thing that was seasonable, nice and cold. Champagne corks popped by the dozen at a time. Those who were in- the secret of the royal brown sherry tried it in spite of the time of day. There were gallons of Apollinaris, and what was generally de- clared the best clared cup ever brewed. At Windsor Castle the smell of tobacco is virtually profane, but the visitors, lounging out into the open air, began to smoke, no one saying them nay, and the delizhted Bostonians on their return to London were at no pains to conceal the pleasure which they had derived from their visit to Windsor.—Daily Chronicle, 9ih July, 1896. Physical strength is highly rated in Switzerland. In several cantons the cus- tom still prevails of holdin‘nwreluing matches. The champions taking part in these athlstic . diverse ranks in the social scale. “His conduct at that time was not unno- ticed by the department and Chief Sulli- van decided that the time had come to carry out the wishes of his deceased chiet. Without the knowledge of his subordi- hate a beautiful medal was prepared by a skillful jeweler and at the appointed time the gallant district engineer will be deco- rated in the presence of his fellow-engi- neers. The medal isa marvel of the jeweler’s art. The main portion isa disk somewhat larger than a twenty dollar piece on which is handsomely wrought a profile of the deceased Chief in gold and enamel. On the reverse side is a suitable inscription describing the deeds that entitled Wills to the decoration. Above the medallion are three links that suspend the portrait from a bar of gold, the whole presenting as handsome a decoration as was ever offered to a fire- man. The secret of his honor has been care- fully guarded irom Wills, and aside from the publication of the facts the first noti- fication of the matter will come when he is called before the Fire Commissioners to receive his decoration. Anchored at Port Los Angeles. PORT LOS ANGELES, CAv., Aug. 15.— The Drumcliff, one of the largest sailing vessels that ever tonched at ports along this coast, is now lying at the big wharf. The vessel is a square-rigged, four-master, 3800 tons burden. The cakin arrange- sports belong to the most|ments and finishings are .oeautiful and tasty, and in some of the features of the decorations they are on the scale of those of an ocean steamship. 7The Drumcliff came from London with a cargo of cement and general merchandise. SN e NEW YORL IIMES SOLD. The Paper Auctioned Off to a Wealthy Organization. NEW YORK, N.Y., Aug. 14.—The good- will, plant, franchises, trademarks, copy- rights, assets and effects of the New York Times Publishing Company were sold at pubiic auction at the New York Real Estate rooms yesterday. Spencer Trask, chairman of the recrganization commit- tee, who represents all the creditors and nearly all of the stockholders of the Times, was the oniy bidder. The paper was knocked down to him for $75,000 and the value of the book accounts, which amount 0 $63,000. The sale was merely a legal process to vest the new company with the titles. The company will probably take possession Monday, when it is expected the courts will confirm the sale. g Adolph 8. Ochs of Chattanooga will be publisher and general manager under the new organization and Charles will continue as editor. The new org zation has a million-doliar stock and a miliion dollars of bonds. ——————————— SHELTER ISLAND FIRE. Manhanset House Damaged lo the Ex- tent of $200,000. GREENPORT, L. I, Aug. '14.—Fire was discovered in the laundry of the Manhanset House, Shelter Island, yester- day morning. The fire spread to the eogine-rooms, thence to the kitchen and { dining-hall, and the original building, despite the efforts of the firemen, was de- stroyed. Had it not been for the Greens- port department the whole hotel would hLave fiuue, with many of the cottages. Several of the firemen were overcome by heat and smoke, but no lives are believed to have been lost. The loss will be about $200,000. . — Fire at Mewcastle.

NOGALES, Ariz., Aug. 14—A wind and rain storm struck Nogales this evening. It lasted only a few minutes, a few shacks being blown down. b BLUE AT DI, Several Houses Partially De- stroyed at Bryant and Con- verse Streets. The Occupants Were All Asleep and Had Barely Time to Make Their Escape. A fire started about midnight in a row of frame buildings at Bryant and Converse streets, and an alarm was turned in from box 152. Owing to the inflammable character of the buildings a second alarm was given a few minutes later, but the services of the extra engines were not needed. The occupants of the buildings were aslecp at the time, and some of them did not know of their danger uutil the fire engines arrived in front of their doors. Then they had to hurriedly dress and run nto the street. John Brady, one of the occupants, whose entrance was by steps in the rear of where the fire had stared, had to be lowered out of the front window by means of a rope. The fire originated in the basement of a house on Converse street, owned by J. Donahue and occupied by J. Nelson. The flames spread to the house, 1016 Bryant street, occupied by Robert Dewey, and the house 1014, occupied by Max Patry on the ground floor and John Brady on the floor above, both being owned also by Donohue. . The houses, 1012 Bryant street, occupied by Henry Huppick; 101214. occupied by Martin_ Bose, and boih owned by John Bose; 1010, occupied by Henry Gefke, and 101034, acenpied by Mrs. Leary, and both owned by Gefke, were also pare tially destroyed in the rear. The loss will not exceed §3000. NEW TO-DAY.
