4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1896. e — BRYAN TOURS THE EMPIRE STATE, Weary and Husky He Is Compelled to Speak at Erie. THOUSANDS GREET HIM. Addresses Three Large Gather- ings After a Day of Travel and Talking. THE HAND-SHAKING FOLLOWS. Wells the People That Their Only Salvation Is to Elect Him President. ERIE, Pa,, Aug. 26.—Husky of voice and tired of body, after a long and hard day of campaigning, William Jennings Bryan found himself confronted on his arrival iu Erie, at 7 o’clock to-night, with » programme oalling for three more speeches before he could rest from this day of railroad traveling and speech- making. But he carried out the paru-of the contract assigned him by the local committee of arrangements and performed his triple duty with a vigor that spoke well for his constitution. His reception st the railroaa station was hearty in the extreme. Rain was falling when his train arrived, but the 2000 or more people w Ing his coming stood their ground and gave the candidate a royal welcome. Accompanied by Hon. Joseph Sibley and other prominent Democrats of Erie, Mr. Bryan started out at 8 o’clock to per- form the contract which had been made for him. The three gatherings which he addressed repaid him in the potency of their applause. Bchlosser's Hall, the scene of his first speech, seats 2500 people, and to-night it was crowded. Numerous farmers were present and Bryan made a stirring speech suitable to the audience. From Schlosser's Hall Mr. Bryan was whirled off to St. Patrick’s Auditorium, Here he spoke with effort. The effect of his two long addresses at Syracuse and Rochester and his short speeches at a number of places along the route to Erie had begun to show, and Mr. Bryan's vocal organs appeared to be in much the same | weakened state as they were on his arrival in New York. Lik: o crowds in the first Erie meeting, the 2500 men and women assembled in the Auditorium were or- derly, but on the whole more enthusiastic than those at the former place. three cheers they gave when the young nominee concluded fairly shook the rafters. Again the thoroughly fatigued candi- date was whirled away, this time to the Park Opera-house, where the eighth an- nual State Convention of Pennsylvania Democratic Olubs was in session. This was the most demonstrative meeting of the ovening. When the prolonged shouts of welcome had ended Mr. Bryan was in- troduced and made his most impertant speech of the evening. After he was throngh the nominee hald » hund-shaking reception ana went back to the Reed House and to bed. His speech was as follows: Mr. Chairman, Ladles and Gentlemen: I es- teem it a great privilego to be permitted to meet to-night with the members of the clud mssembled here from all over the State of nis, because I know what these Iknow the inspiration that arried back by those who go forth to prosecute the work of this campaign. In my judgment we are entering upon & campaign which will be memorable in the history of the country for many reasons, not only because of the issue {nvolved—that would be énough to make it an epoch in the history of nations—but thero are other reasons. This campaien will demonstrate as no campaign Bas ‘done within the last generation. she capacity of the pedple for self-government. {A voice—"A Daniel come to judgment."] Mr. Bry ontinuing, said: man in this land who doubts that n people can rise to the reguire- y emergency?

Mr. and Mrs. Bryan entered a carriage with some of the reception committee, and with a big crowd marching beside the carriage proceeded to Brown Equare, where at least 10,000 people had gathered. 4 Frederick Cook, ex-Secretary of State, presented Mr. Bryan, who was so hoar that his voice could be heard scarcely a hundred feet away, and this caused a perceptible diminution of the crowd. Mr. Bryan left for Buffalo on the Em- pire State express at 3:25 and arrived there at 4:45. A reception committee, consisting of Herman E. Mack of the Buffalo Times, Judge Titus and others, met Mr. Bryan at Rochester. There was alarge crowd on the platform, and they gave him u rousing cheer as he boarded 1il' 4 special train which was to take him to urie. WILL BOMBARD ZANZIBAR. English Give Said Kalid’s Force Until 9 0'Clock This Morning to Surrender. ZANZIBAR, Aug. 26.—The beliet here is quite general that the death of the late Sultan was caused by poison. This evening an ultimatum was sent to Baid Kalid informing him that unless he strikes his flag and makes a complete sur- render by 9 o'clock to-morrow the place will be bombarded. All of the British residents of the town have been requested to go on board the warships lying in the harbor by 8 o'clock to-morrow morning. The force under Said Kalid numbers 2500 men, all well armed. The consensns of opinion is that the action of Baid Kalid has furnished a favorable occasion for the noisting of the British flag and the aboli- tion of Arab rule and slavery. RIOT IN CONSTANTINOPLE A Mob Armed With Revolvers and Bombs Attacks the Gendarmes. Many Soldiers Killed and Wounded by a Band of Desperate Rev. olutionists. LONDON, Exa., Aug. 26.—A dispatch to a local news agency from Constantinople says: Mobs are in possession of a large part of Constantinople to-night. Early in the afternoon a body of men armed with re- volvers and bombs invaded the Ottoman Bank, killing & naumber of gendarmes on guard. The employes of the bank fled to | the quarters occ «pied by the tobacco syn- | dicate which has control of the collection | of the taxes on tobacco throughout the | empire. The invaders mounted the roof of | the building, and from the open windows | fired at the police in the street below. They returned the fusillade, and several persons were killed and wounded. Then the riot became general. Shops were sacked and | bazars invaded, and the wildest excite- ment prevailed throughout certain quar- ters of Constantinople. | A lster report says there is no doubt that the movement was revolutionary in | plan and scope; that it had its origin at | secret meetings of Armenians. 1 About forty of the rioters were still in | possession of the Ottoman Bank at a late hour this evening, despite all the efforts ot the Government forces to remove them. Riots continue and the mobs are con- { stantly increasing in the Galata quarter. | A bomb exploded in Constantinople | near the Galata guardhouse. Many sol- | diers were killed and wounded. Her | Majesty’s ship Dryad at once left The- rapia, where she was anchored, and pro- ceeded to this city. It is also expected that the French and Italian guardships will reach Constantinople early in the morning. ITALY THREATENS BRAZIL Reparation for a Flag Insult Demanded From the Re- public. The Patriotic Brazilians Rejolce Over ! the Rejection of the Italian | Claims. LONDON, Exe., Aug. 26.—The news | from Rio de Janeird is to the effect that | the situation is oritical between Italy and | Brazil. It is stated that Italy will with- draw her legation. The Italian Charge d'Affaires has de- manded from the Brazilian Government that reparation be made for the insult to the Italian flag, and the relations between the Government and Italy's representa- tive are becoming strained. There is great rejoicing throughout Brazil over the rejec- tion of the agreement regarding the Ital- ian claims. The Standard publishes a dispatch from | its Rome correspondent saying that Mar | quis di Rudini, the Italian Prime Minis- ter, has beld several leagthy conferences | with various foreign diplomats, and that {as a resuit of these conferences a number | of warships may be ordered to Brazilian | waters, | The Times to-morrow will print a dis- | patch from Rio de Janeiro, saying that { \\\:iat has been restored in Sao Paulo, dut that the disorders in Rio de Janeiro con- tinue. On Thursday there was a conflict between the police and the populace, in which a few persons were injured. The | trouble was brought about by a mob aeek- |ing to attack a numberof ‘Italians. The latter tried to avoid the conflict and be- aved themselves peacefully. The whole uble, the dispatch says, is due to Bra- an demagogues. The diplomatic ques- ion is awaiting the decision of the Italian | Government. i ——pee Portland Anarchist drrested.

OVER A MILLION SHORT. The Mammoth Concern Suc cumbs to the Prevailing Monetary Stringency. STATEMENT OF THE ASSIGNEE. Judge Hilton’s Sacrifices to Sustain the Firm Do Not Appease the Creditors. ’ NEW YORK, N.Y., Aug. 26.—Hilton, Hughes & Co., the dry-goods firm, as- signed to-day. The following notice posted on the doors of the big building at Broadway and Ninth street, occupied by Hilton, Hughes & Co., attracted a big crowd on their way to business: Hilton, Hughes & Co. have discontinued business and e a general assignment, without preference, to George M. Wright. All employes are notified that their services are no Pon[er required and that they will pe paid in full to-day and including this day. The store will remain closed until turther notice. If the services of say employes are needed by the assignee, they will be notified. Dated, August 26. HILTON, HUGHES & COM- PANY, GEORGE M. WRIGHT, Assignee. The immediate cause of the failure is ascribed to the fact that the firm carried on its books over $1,000,000 worth of what are yet considered high-class accounts. These creditors are well-to-do ‘uptown people, who make it a point of settling their bills once a year. Recent pressure upon Hilton, Hughes & Co. and their in- ability to realize from outsianding ac- counts precipitated a crisis. The liabilities are_estimated all the way from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000. In March last the firm, sccording to Bradsireet’s, ciaimed assets of $3,363,000 and liabilities of $1,230,000, leaving net assets of $2,133,000. George M. Wright, assignee, made the foliowing statement this afterncon: *‘Parties in interest became satisfied that the business was not making a profit. It was therefore determined to close it. It was at first supposed ihat this could be done by an ordinary closing-out sale without any general assignment. With this end in view Judge Hilton within the last month advanced $250,000 to the firm tn pay on account of merchandise claims. He has during the last few years ad- vanced very larve sums. ‘‘He would have been willing to advance enough to pay all the unsecured claims, but in the present monetary stringency it is more than inconvenient to raice that amount at once, though the sum is not large—Ile¢ss than §600,000. “Theexisting difficulties every merchant and banker knows. As claims were press- ing there seemed to be no other way to close the business with equal justice to all creditors and preserve t asrmperty from sacrifice but a general assignment with- out preferences. “It is velieved that all the merchandise and general debts can be paid in full out of sales of the stock and the collection of outstanding accounts. The bank paper is secured and will of course all be paid. “Negotiationsare pending for the sale of the whole stock, which, if carried through, will result in a settlement of the debts in & very short time.” George M. Wrigm.i the assignee of Hil- ton, Hughes & Co., is a lawyer. He had no connection 'l;?l %he firm, but is a friend of ex-Judge Hilton. The firm of Hilton, Hughes & Co. is one of the largest and best known in the retail dry-goods trade. They did an enormous business, and when some days ago rumors became current that the firm in finan- cial trouble there was much surprise, and doubts as to their correctness were freely expre: . he business firm was established b; the late Alexander T. Stewart in 1 Some time after Mr Stewart's death in 1886, the firm name was changed to that of E.J. Denning & Co., and so continued until about five yea: Upon Mr. Denning's death at_that time it was again changed, ex-Judge Hilton becoming senior partner, and the business being continued until the present firms name. The business for the last quarterof a | century has been carried on in the great establishment in the block bounded by Broadway, Fourth avenue and Ninth and Tenth streets. During the height of the season Hilton, Hughes & Co. had frequently employed, including inside and outside help, over 3200 hands. Recently the help had not exceeded 1500. During the past four months the staff had been constantly re- duced, the number ‘let out” since May exceeding 400. A representative of one of the commer- cial agencies was early on the scene. “The firm,"” he said, “has not been con- sidered strong for over a year past. It has been considered slow in making pay- ments. Within a recent period it had come to my knowledge that many firms had declined to sell them goods. The | { sults: liabilities, I expect, will reach §700,000.” L, DENVER SUSPENSION. The Knight-4lmore Clothing Company Temporarily Embdarrassed.

Crowds of Interested Spectators Witness ' Hotly Contested Games. BANTA MONICA, Car., Aug. 26.—To- day the Casino courts were crowded by tennis devotees, who were more than re- paid by witnessing as good games as have ever been, played anywhere,’and certainly more hotly contested. matches than have ever been played in one day at the tennis courts here beside the sea. In the morn- ing play commenced in all-comers singles, Freeman won from Welcolm by default, and Picher beat Way, 6—4, 2—6, 6—0. In the third round, in the semi-finals, Free- man beat Daggett in an exceedingly warm contest, although th: re mignt fail to show it, 2—8, 6—3, 6—0, and Picher beat Rowan after a beautiful contest, 7—5, 3—86, 6—2, leaving Freeman and Picher to con- test in the finals in the morning, and the tournament winner to contest with Arthur Bnmhilln for the championship of the south. Play commenced in the afternoon in open doubles by Welcolm and Bell defeat- ing Lester and Alexander, 7—5, 6—2. In the vreliminary of the first round Braly and Sinsabaugh defeated Rowen and Dag- gett, 3—6, 7—5, 6—3, and Waring and Acker defeated Judge Hendricks and C. Faithful, 7—5, 4—6, 6—4, leaving two more matches in the first round, Bemi-finals and finals will be played to- morrow and Kriday, with the cup match on Friday afternoon.

Miss Jones was pit- ted against Miss Barlow Massacs in the orning match of the event, easily win- ning by the score of 6—0, 6—2.

FATHER YORKE ARRIVES Chaplain McDonald, the Fisher- man, Who Works the Neighboring Streams. IMMORTAL “NEVER SLEEPERS.” Cadets Who Slept in a Boxcar, Like Warriors Taking Their Rest, Etec. i GLEN ELLEN, CaAr, Aug. 26.—The presence of the Rev. Peter C. Yorke in camp has given the cadets new life and new interest. He has the happy faculty of unbending when among them and they play and joke with the distinguished young priest as if he was a popular pri- vatein Company H. Many visitors from the surrounding country dropped into camp to-day to pay their respects to Father Yorke and to see the boys and in more than one case baskets of luscious fruits and messes of trout from the creek have been presented at headquarters. The Rev. James McDonald, chaplain of the camp, is an enthusiastic sportsman. Nothing pleases him better than a trudge over the mountains in quest of game. Every trip results in a full bag of rabbits and doves, which are enjoyed at the offi- cers’ mess. Captain D. J. McCarthy, Lieutenant Ed- ward Crowley, Sergeant Quinnine and Private J. O'Leary of Company E and Ser- geant Benjamin Coryl of Company B drove to Santa Rosa yesterday. The ob- ject of the trip to the capital of Sonoma County was to extend an invitation to the people of Santa Rosa and around there to visit Camp O'Ryan. 7 The camp has divided itself into little clubs or parties, which overshadow the in- tegrity of the individual companies. There are the ‘‘Pride of the Southside” in Company A, the “Never Sleepers” in Company B, the “Damfino’’ and “Five Pirates’’ in Company C, *'The Ministers,” “The Rogues,” “Jolly Old Dudes,” “Seven Sleepers,” etc. The five piratesare causing no end of trouble by their wild antics at most un- seasonable hours of the night, and if any- thing be stolen in camp, a guard is promptly detailed to inspect the piratical tent. So far nothing has been found with the pirates that would indicate their guilt, but when a cadet sees his saber and belt or his shirt or tunic swinging from the too of a tall tree next morning, there are grave suspicions thrown in the direction of the five pirates’ tent. A number of the cadets stole out of camp last night, and failing- to run the guard on their return, slept in a boxcar at the Donshue depot until the conductor rudely disturbea their siumbers at 5:30 A. M, Stiff and cold they made for camp, only to be put in prison. As the boys say, ‘““they ars on the police force now."” An announcement was made this morn- ing that Father Yorke had gki‘von $5, Father McDonald $5 and Dr. A. P. Mulli- gan $5 for the three best decorated and neatest tents in camp. This set the ca- dets at work cleaning up, setting their tents in ‘‘apple-pie order,” as they called it, and transforming the exteriors into evergreen bowers. Company H and Company C had a hrfa quantity of bunting which was clever! worked in with the green. Stripsof tri- color and star-bespangled muslin were drawn from tent to tent and lanterns hung between, with the outside covered with festoons and garlands. In many places the American flag was judiciously woven in with really good effect. Companies B, G and E showed good taste in their ar- nniemem of festoons and ropes of leaves, 20 although they lacked decorative bunt- ing, their side of the camp appeared to good advantage with the varied antum- nal colors of the forest and strings of Japanese lanterns. PESTS OF SHATA CLARK Novel Exhibition to Be Made by Horticultural Commissioner Ehrhorn. Every Species of Parasite That Preys Upon the Orchard and Vineyard. SAN JOSE, Car., Aug. 26.—A novel feature of the County Fair, which opens in this city October 28, will be an exhibi- tion of the pests and parasites which in- fest the orchards and vineyards by Horti- cultaral Commissioner Enrhorn. The dis- play will be the first of its kind made on the coast, and will attract the attention of orchardists and vineyardists from all over the State. The collection will be a large one and will eontain excellent specimens of all pests and parasites to be found in the valley. They will be arranged in glass cases and properly labeled, and a smali pamphlet will be issued touching slightly upon the character and the methods of the pests and giving remedies for xilling them. BSeveral of the Eastern pests have been secured and will be exhibited in alco- bol. The exhibition will do much toward educating the horticulturists and viti- culturists.

Tracing Joe Gregory's Whereabouts on the Day After the Littlefield Lynching, WEAVERVILLE, CAn, Aug. 26.—All the evidence given to-day in the trial of Joe Gregory for complicity in the lynching of *Jack” Littlefield in Round Valley last Beptember was corroborative of that that has gone upon record in the past week. A | half-dozen witnesses told of circumstances that point strongly toward the defendant’s guilt. ‘Walter Clark, the half-breed, stated on the stand this morning thal while at the Red Mountain House on the evening of September 27, 1895, he heard three shots fired about ten minutes after sundown. The reports came from the spot where the witness subsequently saw the body of “Jack” Littlefield hanging to a tree. Peter O'Neil swore that on the 26th of September, himself, in company with Charles Gregory, a brother to the defend- ant, Fred Radcliffe and Mrs, Radcliffe, left Covelo between 9 and 10 o’clock in the morning en route to Vinton’s cabin. About three-quarters of a mile from Covelo Mrs. Radcliffe and Charles Grefiory rode on ahead. The next morning Joe Greg- ory and Buck Lacock came early to Vin- ton’s cabin. O’Neil spoke to Lacock be- foré he reached the cabin. Lacock told him that Vinton had been shot and wanted Gregory to come over. Radcliffe mounted a mule and rode over to Haydon’s house in company with Gregory and Buck La- cock. Gregory carried a rifle when they started, but Radchffe bore no arms. ‘When they returned both carried rifles, and in addition Gregory wore a six- shooter. On the afternoon of that day (September 27) the witness, with Radcliffe an; Charlie Gregory, went fishing down past the lower crossing of Eel River. About 3:30 o’clock O'Neil saw Crow, Little- field and Van Horn (Van Hornahead, Lit- tlefield in the middle and John Crow be- hind) crossing the river in the direction of the Red Mountain House. When asked if he had seen any one else that day O'Neiil said that they had met a party camped on theriver (the Rose Russand Annie Crabtree party previously mentioned during the trial), and that later he saw Bill Espey, Frank Potter, Frank Hanover and a Fleet- wood boy. The p-rg had been np to Haydon’s O'Neill stated positively that both Fred Radciiffe and Joe Gregory returned that night to Vinton’s cabin after dark. ‘When cross-questioned by Oregon San- ders, attorney for the defense, whether he had not told many persons in and about Round Valley that Gregory and Radecliffe had returned to the Vinton cabin before sundown O’'Neill repliea that he had. When asked why, he answered that he was afraid of getting shot in the back, as many another man had in Round Valley, for knowing too much, as was William Williams and Sherman, recently killed at Covelo. “I was afraid that if I told the truth Gregory would murder me,” O'Neili said.
