12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1896 EOLD DEMOCRATS ACTIVE WORKERS They Are About Ready to Enter the Arena in Earnest. BRYAN MEN ALARMED. An Active Republican Club in This City Converts Many Democrats. NEWS FROM NEW ORLEANS. A Letter From a Southern Business Man Shows That McKinley Will Carry Louisiana. Those who have solaced themselves with the thought that the gold Democrats will be apathetic in this campaign, par- ticularly some of the more hopeful and blatant silverites, were given a severe shock yesterday when they read such names as Clay W. Taylor, John Rosenfeld and J. J. Valentine in the list of electors nominated by the Palmer Democrats. A canvass of the sitnation yesterday greatly encouraged the friendsof Palmer and Buckner and they announced them- selves more determined than ever to exert every effort to preserve the nucleus of a Democratic party for the future, believing, as they do, that Bryan will be overwhelm- ingly defeated, and that the preservation ot the Democratic party depends on united action now. “We are busy making plans,’’ said Chairman Jeremian rynch of the Demo- cratic gold party yesterday, “and we shall be in the field in due time in such a way as to be feit.” The great activity of the Palmer faction has disturbed the Bryan Democrats and the silver men in general more than any event that has come tolight since the cam- pairn got well under way. They had not counted on organization to oppose them, but had lulled themselves into the belief that the friends of sound money in the Democratic party would pursue a let-alone policy of passive politics. 5 They now see beyond all question, how- ever, that Lynch and his friends are at the helm full of determination, and that they will have nothing to do with half-way measures. The gold Democrats feel confi- dent thal they can win many votes that would otherwise have gone to Bryan. They are elated over the matter and the Bryan ana silver forces are correspond- ingly depressed. Jonn W. Dickinson, a student of practi- cal politics, reported the result of some re- cent observations at Republican head- quarters yesterday. Learning thata num- ber of cigar-dealers are giving away Mec- Kinley and Bryan badges, Mr. Dickinson made a canvass among the principal deal- ers on Market street, with the result which he states as follows: “The dealers give a customer either badge according to his preference. For 1wo or three weeks after Brvan’s nomina- tion they could not get enough Brvan badges, but now they find the tabies turned. Many who took Bryan- buttons have exchanged them for McKinley but- tons and not one man in tour now asks for a Bryan button, showing that Mec- Kinley is at least farin the lead among men who smoke.” The friends of J. G, Tyrrell were active in the Twenty-third Senatorial District yesterday. The Lincoln Club, which is in first Assembly District, a part of the Twenty-third Senatorial, held a rousing meeting at 107 Ninth street on Saturaay night. This club is doing active work and has decided to organize a drill corps of seventy-five members. They in- dorsed Thomas Graham for Police Judge and speeches were made by A. Planz and J. D.Byrne. Tne California State band furnished music ana there were songs and recitations by George Reed and J. Speil- man. Twenty-seven new members signed the roll, nineteen of whom had always been Democrats. The roll is now open for signatures at 115 Tenth street, under charge of Secre- tary F. J. Klenck. The Cutting Fruit Packing Company is in receipt of an encouraging letter from a Erominonl business man at New Orlcans. he writer is hopeful of Republican suc- cess 1n the South. he says: To produce sugar it is necessary to have a good, round, liberal protection. rRyice needs protection, and cotton manufactured goods require good liberal protection; and while we have been voting a Democratic ticket for thirty years, and the State has been carried by the Democrats for twenty-seven years, we have been under protection of 8 zood o0id re- liable form of Government, and three years of free trade has been enough to make this State more than a doubt ul one. 1Ibelieve that Louisiana is st least 35,000 Ra{&uhlicnn majority for McKinley. There is only one thing to prevent it, and that is baliot-box stuffing, which is so common down here. To what extent this will be carried on in the coming election is the point that will decide as to whether the State is Democratic or Republican, The votes that will go into the boxes will show a ur%e Regubficln maejority unless something unlooked for happens,and they are counted as they are cast. The revolution in popular feeling is so great that & man seven years ago who voted a local Republican ticket wou'd have been ostracized ; 10-day there are more Republicans in the bet- ter classes of society than there are Demo- crats, and they will vote the Republican ticket straight. About two months more of enlightenment of what ivee coinage of silver means, and when the masses understand that it does not mean that they can take 53 cents worth of si.verand have the Government put itsstampon it and then get a dollar in gold for it, but that it will just be a certificate that there is so much silver contained in the piece tendered, so that no dispute can arise belween!roopxe trading, they will be for gold and for McKinley, which weans sound money. New Orleans has not gone Repubiican since 1874, butI think it is safe to bet that in the coming election it will be carried by a Repub- lican majority of 10,000. Next Thursday night the Haight street grounds will be thrown open to the public, for on that evening taere will be a grand Republican rally there under the auspices of the West End_Republican Ciub of the Thirty-seventh District, Ben I Solomon is the president of this club, Jonn Bennett, the secretary, and C. O. Burton, the chair- man of the executive committee. The speakers who are to address the meeting are George C. Perkins, George A. Among other things NEW TO-DAY.

Alice Edith Dickinson Blythe, who laid claim to half of the Blythe estate asthe contract wiie of the deceased millionaire, was arrested yesterday afternoon on Eddy street by Policeman Frank Riiey and booked at the City Prison on the charge of vagrancy. She was consiaerably under the influence of liquor and was so obstrep- erous that she had to be put in a dark cell, Her appearance in the Blythe case was one of the sensations of the day. She was Thomas Blythe’s housekeeper, and alleged that she and the millionsire entered into a contract marriage and lived together for years as man and wife. Through her attorney, Henry Highton, sne claimed balf of the estate, and at one time she was offered $100,000 in cash and an income of $150 per month for life to relinquish her claim. She rejected the offer, and finally had to be satistied with $90C0 paid to her for a quitclaim so as to obtain a clear title to the property for Florence Blythe- Hinckley. She has been repeatedly arrested for drurkenncss and disturbing the peace, and now sne has descended to a common vagrant in the eyes of the police. LACKAYE TO LEAVE. The Creator of Svengall Will the Hypnotist in a New Play. Wilton Lackaye, who has been cne of the attractions at the Columbia for four weeks past, finished his engagement last evening when he appeared in “*The Wife.” This morning Mr. Lackaye will leave for New York,where he is to begin immediate rehearsals for his new play, “Dr. Bel- graff.”” Mr. Lackaye has declined to be Svengali any longer, as he does not wish to become identified with one part, but in *‘Dr. Belgraif’’ he is to have a role which, in many respects, is a suggestion of his masterpiece. Dr. Bpelgrafi is a hypnotist and the char- acter is said to be a very powerful one. Marie Wainwright is to act as Lackaye's leading lady and it is predicted that a death scene between the two.stars will be the sensation of the season. The company will take the road about October 1 and will play a three weeks’ en- gagement here early in Deceraber. UAPTURED THE BURGLIR The Residence of L. C. Burton, Jackson Street, Broken Into. Play Police Were Notified, and After a Chase of Several Bocks William Anthony Was Arrested. A burglar, who gave his name as Wil- liam Anthony and his age as 24, was clev- erly captured yesterday afternoon after a stern chase of several blocks and is now in tbe City Prison. L. C. Burton owns the two-story house 1426 and 1426}; Jackson street. He occu- pies the lower flat and Mrs. Williams the top flat. Mr. Burton and family are at present in San Lorenzo and consequently there was no one in the house. Between 3 and 4 o’clock yesterday after- noon Mrs. Williams heard noises in the rear of the lower flat. She asked her son if the Burtons had returned, and he said he did pot tbink so. It occurred to himn that burglars might be in the house, and he went outside. Policeman A. B. Thom- son was standing on the corner and he sig- naled him to come. There were two burglars in the house, and they bad apparently observed young Williams, as they rushed out of the house. One of them, who proved to be Anthony, had a hatcnet in his_band, and he threat- ened to kill young Williams if he attempt- ed to follow him. Thomson decided to capture the man with the hatchet, who turned into Larkin street, ran along Larkin to Washington, along Washington to Polk. pursued by Thomson. Here Policeman Kelly joined in the chase and the two raced after the burglar along Polk to Clafl, where Police- a hand in the pursuit. The burglar doubled back and ran along Clay to Polk. He dodged into 1611 Polk and ran upstairs to the top of the building, where he hid behind some coal boxes and was found by the police- men. An examination of Burton’s house showed that the burglars had forced an entrance by breaking open the rear door with the hatchet. They had also forced open the front acor and one of the win- dows as a means of escape in case of being surprised. Nothing was found upon Anthony when searched at the City Prison, but the other burglar, who made his escape, may have had some plunder. This will not be known till the family reiurns from the country. SCIENCE OF RELIGION. Dr. Teed Declares He Is the Bearer of the Highest ¥aith. Dr. Cyrus R. Teed, the founder of a sect known as the Koreshan Unity, lectured yesterday afternoon upon the tenets of his faith at Foresters’ Hall, 102 O'Farrell street. The Koreshan doctrine endeavors to scientifically harmonize the teachings of thie Bible literally with science. “Ordinarily there seems to have been a divorce,”” the speaker said, “‘between what is known as science and what is known as | retigion. The world has outgrown any | conception of a practical application of what is called religion. The science of religion must necessarily involve some new conceptions.” The speaker then proceeded to prove by seriptural quotations not that the Bible was wrong, but that the beliefs of modern scientists were erroneous. He referred to the Capernicam theory of astronomy as an example. All religions, he argued, were trns, but some were higher than others. Christian- ity he pronounced the highest until the Koreshan was propagated. The doctor has a number of followers. ———— Not loach but Bagley.

REFUSED TO UNIONIZE. Boss Bakers Cause the Arrest o! Three Men and Now There Is Trouble. DAMAGE SUIT WILL FOLLOW. A Victory Means a Great Deal for Every Labor Organization in the City. There iz a merry war on between Ameri- can Bakers’ Union No. 51 and Daly & Davitt, proprietors of the New England Home Bakeries. A boycott has been de- clared on the latter and there are other troubles in store for them. To-morrow ttree suits of $299 99 each will be filed in Justice Groezinger’s court for damages alleged to have been sus- tained by Thomas Keally, Cornelius Daly and Walter Hand, who were arrested last week for disturbing the peace. Daly & Davitt were the complaining witnesses, and thereby hangs as pretty a tale of labor trials and trinmphs as has come to the surface in many months, The present situation and the causes which brought about this condition of affairs may be briefly summed up as fol- lows: For a long time past Bakers’ Union No. 51 has sought to unionize the New England Home Bakeries. The proprie- tors fought the proposition, but so guard- edly as to prevent any actual demonstra- tion on the part of the union. Three weeks ago, however, the bakers agreed that some drastic measure must be adopted, and the boycott was thought to be the most powerful weapon. The offending firm was notified of the proposed action, and then according to the bakers, Daly & Davitt entered into an agreement with the American Bakers' Union No. 51 to unionize their several es- tablishments and increase the wages now paid to the union scale. When the time came to consummate this deal, however, the bosses failed to come to the scratch, and a boycott was accordingly declared. A lot of circulars were printed and scat- tered in such a munner as not to violate the law. An advertisement covering half a page was inserted in the Voice of Labor, and tben Keally, Daly and Hand made things very disagreeable for the boycotted firm, by standing in front of their Sixth- street establisbment giving the papers to whosoever would accept one. Daly & Davitt sought to have them arrested for disturbing the peace, but the offieers retused to have anything to do with the matter, contending that the law was not being violated. Davitt, assuming his rights as a citizen, placed the m-n under arrest himself. They were escorted to the station, but soon after gave bonds for their appearance. On Tuesday last the case came up for trial, but was continued at the request of the prosecution until Saturday. The pros- ecuiion sgain sought delay, but Judge Conian would have none of it. He in- quired into the facts and immediately ordered the cases stricken from the docket, on the ground that it was no violation of the law to distribute newspapers. Keally, Daly and Hand then consulted their attor- ney, George W. Monteith, and on his ad- vice will bring the suits already men- tioned. This will be the first proceedings of the kind ever instituted in this City, and hence a great deal of interest is being manifested in labor circles. It is a matter of dollars with Daly & Davitt, and a uestion of principle with the union men. ?f the latter win it will establish a prece- dent which may prove valuable to them in the future. In the meantime the boyvcott Is being pushed with great vizor and the circulars are being distributed. Daly & Davitt do not intend to give in without a struggle. HANDBALL BOOMING. A Number of Close and lIxciting Games Played in the Courts Yesterday. Handball was on the boom yesterday, and several close and exciting games were played in the courts. At the San Fran- cisco court J. C. Nealon and T. F. Bonnet played a great game against P. T. Don- nelly, the amateur champion, and R. Len- ihan. It was the best of three, and each zame was very close, the final being won By Nealon and Bonnet by one ace. The featureof the game was the all-round play of Nealon. Some new players made their appear- ance at the %nion Court, and acquitted themselves creditably. The event of the day was a rattling game in which the old- time rivals, R. Leniban and J. Nelson and J. J. ¥eeney and Terry McManus, the heavy-weight champion, participated. Five games were played in fine style, Feeney and McManus winning the final by four aces. Several exciting games were played at the Eureka Court on Eighteenth street, but through some misundersanding the series of games between players from this court and the Mission Athletic Club Court, for the championship of the Mission, did not take piace.

BARON HERMAN HERE. Young German Mobleman Making a Special Study of Forest and Agri- cultural Industries. Baron B, R. Herman, tall, striking locking, voung and unmarried, is at the Palace Hotel. He is attached to the German Legation at Washington and is making two special investigations in this country for his home Government. One is the study of the agri- cultural industries, the other of the forest industries, So far he has visited the central and northwestern States and British Columbia and the States of Washingion and Oregon. While in this City he will confer with the National Forest Commissioners, and later wili explore the forest regions of Cali- fornia. He says that Germany has long had a very well defined, strict and perfected sys- tem in the management and preservation of her forests, but is willing to learn any- thing more that may be of value. The forest area of Germany is one-fourth the whole country, and one-third of the tim- ber land is owned by the Government, one-third by communities and the remain- ing third by private individuals, The Baron expresses some surprise at the youtbfulness of many of the married men in America, and declares that the young fellows in Germany cannot afford to get married much before they are 30 on account of the expense of maintaining an cstablisnment. His own estates are in Wurtemberg. STUDYING «TEXAS FEVER.” Dr. J. Sidney Hunt Has Col- lected Data About Cattle “Ticks.” He Will Now Return to Australia and Confirm Cattlemen’s Worst Fears. feated W Dr. J. Sidney Hunt of Queensland, Aus- tralia, physician and member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, sent to the United States recently by the Queens- land Qovernment to study the “Texas fever,” returned to the Palace Hotel yes- terday after an absence of six weeks spent mostly in the cattle country of Texas and the neighboring States where the herds are troubled in summer by a ‘‘tick” that 80 saps the system of beef animals that they become poor as though suffering from fever. Not long ago “ticks'’ appeared upon cattle in a certain district in the north of the colony of Queensland. The animals infested by huniireds of the small_ blood- suckers soon began to show the effect in loss of flesh. Cattlemen had not before known of this parasite except throuzh re- ports of its depredations in America. They became alarmed. The result is the vigit here of Dr. Hunt as a Government commissioner to learn about the Texas “tick’’ and to see if the Queensland pest is the same kind of animal. The emisssry was accompanied in his investigation by ‘William Collins, a practical cattleman and owner of extensive herds in Queensland. The cause of the “Texas fever” and the cause of the Australisn cattlemen’s anxiety is now believed by Dr. Hunt to belong to the same family of “ticks.”’ He learned, however, that little is yet known in America as to the most effective means of desiroying this cattle parasite. Many panaceas, he says, are advocated, but none be believes have proved of creat value. Dr. Francis of the Texas Agricultural College recommends oil as a preventive. “I think,” remarked Dr. Hunt, ‘“‘that we shall probably have to establish a quarantine over the cattle of the affected district to keep the ticks from spreading to other localities. Such a regulation is in effect in this country, for no cattle are sent out of the country south of a certain line during the months when the ‘tick’ flourishes, In this way the ‘Fexas fever' has been confinea to a particular locality, but the quarantine works a hardship to the cattlemen, who are thus able to ex- port beef cattle only during the winter months. That will be the complaint, I imagine, in Queensland.” AT THE THEATERS. The Many Attractions That Are Offered for This Evening at the Play- houses and Elsewhere, Despite the many unusual attractions, such as the circus and the Home Product Fair, “Madame Sans Gene” has done well at the Baldwin—in fact, so well that the management has concluded to present it again this evening and continue it for the balance of the weck. “On the Bowery,” as presented last week by Steve Brodie and his company, will be roduced this evening at the California g‘healer. and this piece is booked for the balance of the week. Whatever may be ghought of the meritof this production it raws. Tkere will be a new attraction at the Columbia Theater this evening. It is en- titled “The Matrimonia! Craze,” written by Walter 8.

Henry de Mille's *‘Danger Signal” is what the audience at the Grand Opera- house will witness this evening. Thereis in this play a pretty love story and a great many dangerous situations for the hero. The piece will be put on with many stage effects, including a snow-plow scene. The military drama, “Ours,” is on the programme for presentation at the Alca- zar Theater this evening. It is a play of England and Russia and hinges on the war in the Urimea. The leading female character, Lady Shendryn, will be person- ated by Mrs. F. M. Bates. At the Tivoli Opera-house grand overa is to be followed by fairy opera. ‘“‘Hansel and Gretel,” which opened last night, will be offered, It is an opera founded on one of Grimm’s fairy tales and is said to have been well received wherever produced, William H. West will appear in the lead- ingcharacter. The Orpheum Music Hall will have a number of new atiractions this evening, the most prominent of which is Abdullah, who is reputed to be the most wonderful of all high-wire performers.

FORM A NEW COMPACT. No “Sack” Will Be Raised to Avert Hostile Leg- islation. FAIR RATES TO BE RESTORED. The Agreement May Be Ratified This Week by Local and F.reign Corporations. The signs are now favorable for an early restoration of the compact among fire underwriters, which was broken eighteen months ago. Since the insurance men began the cutting of rates which ter- minated in a dissolution of the compact, a great deal of business in the way of fire underwriting has been done, but the mar- gn of profit was small. At Monterey some months ago an earn- est effort was made to restore harmony and bring about an agreement to do busi- ness on a uniform basis of rates, but some obstacles prevented a reconciliation at that time. During the past week several points of difference have been adjusted. There remains, it is said, one point to be settled, however, and that relates to the representation in the proposed compact of the New York underwriters and the Hartford Insurance Company. These companies are represented by one agency, and the conten tion is advanced that they should not have more than one vote in the association. Negotiations for an agreement have ex- tended so far that all the foreign as well as the State insurance companies have signified their desire to end the rate cut- ting war at once. Speaking of the probable outcome of the negotiations a well-known under- writer said yesterday: “While the old compact rates will be recognized as a starting point in the new agreement, it does not follow that these rates will be strictly adhered vo. In fact it is conceded that there will be some re- ductions, but surely the blockbooks, boundaries, etc., established by the for- mer surveys must be used as a guide. The surveys and blocking which designate the hezardous precincts were made with considerable care and the books are now available and of course will be used in the adjustment of uniform rates.” Concerning future insurance, this under- writer said: ‘‘Agents are now making contracts for insurance to be executed sixty days hence. These independent or unclassified contracts for new insurance or re-insurance must be executed within sixty days after the new compact is estab- lished.” These underwriters, who have been fighting among themselves for the past year and a half, now recognize that they must combine to meet what they consider a common enemy and face what they regard as a common danger. This dan- gerous enemy is the Legislatare. It is a part of the insurance history of California, that money has been lavishly spent in Sacramento to avert hostile legislation. At one session of the Legislature, the underwriters were so ‘‘shamefully be- trayed’” by the members who were sup- posed to have been bought that many of the leading insurance men registered a solemn oaih never to contribute a doliar to another sack. One agent expressed that sentiment vesterday, by saying: “We didn’t put up a dollar for the gislature at the last session and we will not put up a dollar this winter.” It is well known that every session of the Legislature has its insurance lobby and no doubt these agents act with the countenance and authority of the com- pact. The expense of maintaining a lobby at Sacramento is probably regarded as legitimate and money used to wine and dine members who desire information as to the merits of pending measures may be charged up to legitimate expenses. 1t can pe writien down as a lacy that the underwriters will make many cohcessions among themselves to settle their own dif- ferences and grievances before the Legis- lature convenes at Sacramento. Then if they are called upon to resist ‘‘cinch” bills they will be in a position to act as a unit in the opposition. An underwriter who is well informed as to the progress of negotiations predicts that the agreement will be ratitied by ali the companies, local and foreign, within the next ten days. Then the underwriters can present a solid front at Sacramento. —ee WON QUT IN THE TENTH Imperials Beat the San Fran- ciscos in a Great Game. Both Twirlers Kept the Hits Well Scattered at the Critical Stages. There was one of the warmest struggles ever seen ona local ballfield during the last five innings of the game at Sixteenth and Folsom streets yesterday afternoon. At the end of the eigiith inning the score was tied, and socontinued up to the tenth, when a base on balls and a triple by Till- son enabled the Imperials to beat the San Franciscos. Although errors were by no mears scarce during the contest they were almost equally divided and cost one side just about as much as the other. The San Franciscos outbatted their opponents, but Kelly kept the local men's hits well scat- tered and was very effective at critical periods. Cooney, too, did well. The bright particular star of the game, however, was Smith, the third baseman of the Imperials. He appeared at the right place at the right time on half a dozen occasions, on any one of which, had he made an error, the game would have gone to the locals. The error was never made, though. Smith successfully accepted thirteen chances, securing eight putout: and five assists. Turee times he fielded balls to first when it looked as if the batsman would secure a hit. He also pulled down several difficalt flies. McKee, who played right field for the Imperials, and Mailer, who guarded left garden, also did well. McKee made two wonderful throws to third, while Muller cut off a man at the late by a great throw from his territory. ilds also deserves special mention, but the entire side, with the possible excep- tion of Nealon, put up a great game. For the San Franciscos Monahan showed NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS. SPECI SALE AL SN DRAPERY SILKS!

Levy scored for the locals in tue first inning on Nealon’s error, Murphy’s single and the effort to catch Murphy napping. In the second the Imperials got three men aroun the circuit on hits by McKee, Ward and Tillson bunched with errors by Krug, Sweeney and Scott. They also scored one in the fourth on ap error by Zenn, which allowed Muller to take two bases, and Scott’s second misplay, which allowed Muller to score. The San Franciscos did most of their run-getting in the fifth. Every man of the nine went to the bat, and although but two hits were made five runs were scored. Monahan got to first on Kelly’s error, Krug singled, Levy went out at first, ad- vancing the other two a bag, and Murphy got a base on balls, filling the bases. Bweeney followed with a double, bringing them all home, and scored himself on Creamer’s error, which gave Leonard a life. Leonard stole second, went to third on Zann’s out_and scored on Scott’s fly to center, which Nealon dropped. That ended the run-getting off Blake’s merry men. With the score 6 to 4 against them the Imperials played a great uphill game. Muller hit for two bases after two men were out in the seventh and scored on a pop fly from Smith’s bat, which dropped safe on the first-base line. . urphy running from first to get the ball was met by Smith just as the ball got within reach.” In order to avoid a colli- sion Murphy stepped aside and the ball feil safe. In the eighth Nealon scored on his double and Wild’s single. Neither side tallied in the ninth, but in had been retired, Ward scored the win- ning ran for the Imperials on a base on balls and a triple by Tillson.
