o a THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1896. GERMANY'S EYES UPON THE SULTAN Popular Sentiment Curbed by the Government's Policy. AUSTRIA ALSO CHAFING But No Decisive Step Can Be Taken Without Russia’s Approval. ENGLAND'S DYNAMITE SCARE. Said to Be a Political Device to Operate Upon the Sensibilities of the Czar. [Copyright,1896,by the United Associated Presses) BERLIN, Geemany, Sept. 20.—Before starting for his chateau at Alt-Aussee, Styria, Prince Hobenlohe, the Imperial Cbancellor, paid a visit to Count von Munster: Ledenburg, German Embassador to France, who is spending his holidays at his estate in Ianover. Count von Munster will return to Paris on October 5, and it is needless to say that as the re- sult of the visit of Prince Hobenlohe be is fully primed as to the attitude he is ex- pected to observe throughout the sojourn of the Czar at the French capital, which, it is understood, is to keep in the back- ground and watch events. Prince Hohen- lohe will remain in Styria tor a fortnight, but he has his plaus for the conduct of in- ternational matters during his absence from Berlin fully mapped out, and every- body concerned is fully instructed in his line of procedure. Baron Marschall von Bieberstein, German Minister of Foreign Affairs, is now in Baden, but his leave of avsence will end on October 12, In view of the absence of the chief Min- isters of the Government for the next three weeks the Foreign Office certainly cannot be very greatly concerned over an immedjate crisis in the East. What little diplomatic activity exists now centers in Vienna. The Hon. Michael Herbert, First Secre- tary to the British Embassy at Constanti- nople, who so efficiently acted as the sub- stitute of 8ir Philip Currie, the British Embaseador to Turkey during the recent absence of the iatter in England, is on his way to England on leave of absence. He remained four davs in Vienna, leaving there on Friday. While he wasstaying in the Austrian capital Mr. Herbert bad three interviews with Count Goluchowski, the Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs, who is very plainly showing his desire to make for hims:lf a historic name asa statesman by takiug the initiative in deal- ing with the Sultan. Qnly time can de- cide whetber he is a fusSy intermeddler or a far-sighted politician. Mr. Herbert, according to reliable ad- vices which bave been received here, ad- vised Count Goluchowski to disregard the oft-repeated Turkish menaces of a general massacre of Christians in Turkey. If the powers coliectively, or England alone, should send a fleet to Constantinople, Mr, Herbert does not believe that the Sultan possesses the power to effect a general slanghter of Europeans in the Turkish capital city, and he so expressed himself to Count Goluchowski. Mr. Herbert has also been permitted to repeat to the Aus- triaa Foreign Minister his estimate, which he sent to the British Foreign Office, of the forces on land and at sea which would be necessary to keep order at Constanti- nople in the event that the Sultan sbould be deposed. Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria pre- sided over a ministerial council in Vienna on Friday, at which Count Goluchowski, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Count Ba- deni, Prime Minister, Baron Banffy, Hun- garian Premier, and Baron Kallay de Nagy-Kalle, Chief of the Imperial Finan- cial Department, were present. This council 1s the last that will be held before the Emperor starts on bis programme, his work beginning with the Galician military maneuvers nng!he Hungarian maneuvers inaugurating the 1ron gates of the Danube canal and bis visit to Bucharest, Since the council was held the semi-official press of Vienna have continued their at- tacks upon Lord Salisbury without abate- ment. The Berlin official circle seems to have got an inkling of the change in the Austrian policy, which is iess pro- Russian than formerly. Probably a fac- tor influencing Count Goluchowski in de- ciding upon the change was the declar- ation made by Baron Banfly at_the coun- cil that the dissolution of the Hungarian Parliament had been fixed to take place in October and that the new pariiamen- tary elections would be beld in Novem- ber, These events, he said, must not be accompanied by the reproach that Hun- gzary had been made a tool of the Czar. The anti-Turkish meetings which have been held in the various popalous centers throughout Germany show a rapidly in- creasing concern in the massacres of Christians in the Sultan’s dominion. The Catholic clergy have not as yet taken so active a part in the agitalion as the Protestant clergy have, but the Catholic laity are subscribing liberally to the Ar- menian relief funds and the Centrist newspapers urge the necessity of dealing with the Sultan promptly, vigorously and finally. Dr. Lieber, the leader of the Uentrist party in the Reichstag, proposes to demand that the Government adopt an uneqnivocal policy in regard to the Turk- ish massacres of Christians just as soon as the Reichstag resumes its sittings in Novgmber. THe Reichsbote, a Conservative organ, pours out torrents of wrath at the alleged German apathy in° the ‘maiter of .the slaughter.of Christians, but the question 1s whether or. not: Germany is apathetic. It is true that the Government suppresses any tendency on the part 0f the semi- official press toward public excitement inst the Porte, yet from every quarter of the. empire come ll&v’n that ‘the great political parties, the nseryaty trist, National, Liberal and Freisinnige, are waking up and will make. possi- ble for the existence of a Government baving no distinctive German poliey in regard to Turkey, merely saying *‘ditio’’ to the Russian or Austrian policy. The English so-called dynamite vlot is suspected here, where police dodges are possibly better known than in England, as being a trick upon the Czar, The National Zeitung in an article upon the subject says: *The English newspapers have made a tremendous commotion over the affair, their articles being obviously aimed at gpernin. upon the sensibilities of the Czar, The Vossische Zeitung, however, ex- presses belief that there really is, or was, a Fenian-anarchist conupin;)'. though the ;nper is nov aware how widely divergent enianism and anarchism are. The Vorwaerts, organ of the Socialists, views the matter naturally as a palice plot, and assails Chief Inspector Meiville ot the Scotland Yard police as the foster- father of the Berlin anarchis The Neuste Nachrichten and many other newspavers express hope that at last England will rouse berselfto energetic action aealust the anarchist pestilence which nurses her bosom apd join the Continental Governments in the adoption of measures for its total extinetion. The first international woman’s con- gress was opened here Saturday in the great hall of the Berlin city buildings, and its sessions will last a week. BSix hundred women delegates are present, and the women are in attendance as representa- tives of the women of Buda-Pesth. The pro- ceedings yesterday were restricted to mere formalities and to-day was devoted to a mception of the delegates, The matters of international importance to be disc are the woman’s rights ‘question, upon which Mrs. ¥, C. French of Washington and Mrs. Wright Sewall of Indianapolis will speak, amony others. The following days will be devoted to the discussion of ques- tions affecting the protection of cbildren, early education in female schools, employ- ment of women, wages, hours and kindred subjects. k. In the discussion upon the subject of workingwomen'’s clubs Mrs. Thomas Kirk- bridge of Philadelphia and Mrs. Ormistor Chant of London will speak, and these ladies with others will adaress the con- gress upon the fight of women against alcobol, and other themes, including woman suffrage and provision for the or- phan poor. It is quite plain that the con- ress will have a big field to traverse. E‘be socialist execative committees have placed upon ti.e Agenda book of the con- gress demands for woman suffrage and equal legal rights for women with men. A meeting of female socialists has ap- pointed special delegates to the congress. The Kreuz Zeitung announces that the Conservatives of Germany are beginning to share the indignation of the people of England at the Sultan’s inhuman Govera- ment, but do not 1avor the English de- mand for the deposition of the Sultan. The best scheme to be followed, the paper thinks, would be the formation of a Euro- pean commission to control the Sultan and his Ministers by making the appoint- ment of the latter, as well as the appoint- ment of territorial governors, subject to the approval of the Embassadors. The Czar and Czarina are timed to ar- rive at Darmstadt on October 10. The Kaiser will not go to Darmstadt to meet them. The rupture between the editors of the Vorwaeris and Herr Liebgnecht, the So- cialist leader in the Reichstag, continues. Fischer, one of the participants in the quarrel, urges a halt, representing that the display of the Socialist dirty linen in public would only be to play into the ene- my’s hand, and he promises a private set- tlement of the differences between Herr Liebknecht and the editors. The socialists have gained five seats in the Prussian Landtag in the recent elec- tions, Baron von Ketteler, first secretary of the German embassy in Washington, has sailed for New York on board the steamer Normannia. Liverecht von Kotze, the court chamber- lain and master of ceremonies, who is still a prisoner in the fortress at Glatz, where he is confined for participating in the duel which resulted in the death of Baron von Schraeder, has resigned his office of mas- ter of ceremonies, but the Emperer has permitted him to retain his office of court chamberlain and also to hoid his military office of captainin tue reserve cavalry. BALL-PLAYER'S SUICIDE Edward N. Crane, the Famous Pitcher, Takes a Dose of Poison. His Brilliant Career cn th: Diamoad Field Fol'owcd by One of Dissipation. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Sept. 20.—Edward N. Crane, who was in his time one of the finest baseball pitchers in the country, ended his life at Conzress Hall last night. He had been drinking heavily of late and became despondent. An empty bottle of poison on the dresser this morning tells the story. Edward Crane has for twelve years been prominently identified with the National game. He first sprang into prominence in 1887, when he pitched a phenomenal series and won the international cham- pionship for Toronto. He was eagerly sought after the next year and went to New York for a princely sum. He won the championship of the world for the New Yorks over the St. Louis Browns, the champions of the American Association. He duplicated his phenomenal work the next year, Since that time he did some steady playing, but for the past two years his work has been ragged. Last year he was releasea by Toronio and played the season out with Rochester. This year be began with Providence, was thrown to Springtield and was leftin the lurch. He was engaged as an umpire by President Pat Powers, but did not give satisfaction. Since then he has been given over to dissipation. The body of tbe dead man will probably be taken to Boston for burial. He leavesa widow and one child. An inquest will be heid to-morrow. MekINLEY S A " VERY BESY WEEK Meets and Greets Over a Hundred Thousand f Persons. ENDLESS DELEGATIONS. Assured of Success in Illinois, Minnesota, Wyoming and Colorado. ALSO NEBRASKA AND IDAHO. The Public Clamor for the Major's Printed Speeches Is Beyond All Precedent. § CANTON, Omuio, Sept. 20.—Major Mec- Kinley closed last night the most arduous week of the campaign. He remained at home all day to-day and in the evening received a few personal friends. There were no callers of a National or political reputation. Major McKinley has shaken hands with upward of 60,000 people during the past week and bas had in the aggregate about 100,000 visitors. This week he will have delegations every day after Mopday and will have to make as many formal speeches as he did last week. The speeches which Major McKinley made in August, to- gether with some account of the circum- stances which called them forth, have been printed and bound and will be rudyl for distribution this week. The demand for his speeches made between the day ot his nomination and the 1st of August and his letter of acceptance, is unavated. The published speeches now npumber ! sixty, but the additions for September will bring the total up to more than 100. Major McKinley was in excellent spirits to-day. He thinks the situation is im- proving daily. Several cailers to-aay from the far West have told him that Wyom- ing, Colorado and idaho have been thor- oughly canvassed and that there is ample foundation for the belief that he will carry them all, but with small pluralities. The news which Major McKinley had to-day from the Pacific Slope is reassur- ing. Hais informed that if the present exertion which Republicans are making there be continued every State on the Pa- cific Coast will be carried by the Republi- cans. Senator Cullom assured Major McKin- ley that Illinois would give him 100,000 gllun.li(_v, and Congiessman McCleary of innesota said that the sound-money idea | would prevail in his State and that it was | growing stronger every hour. Senator Thurston is confident that the Republicans wili carry Nebraska and told Major McKinley that he need have no further apprehension on that score. C. L. Kurtz, chairman of the Republi- can State Commitiee, wires to-day that Senator-elrct J. B. Foraker will take the stump this week in Ohio, and devote ali the rest of the campaign to the work of making political speecfies. He has been asked to make a trip to the Pucific Coast. Mr. Kurtz expects to have five speeches from Thomns{ Reea of Maine in Ohio within a'short time. Among the telegrams received to-day were the following: CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept. 20.—McKinley and Hobart b, 900 members organized, send greetings and assuranees of support. Wyoming Republicans for protection and sound money. JORN G. BAIRD, President. FLAGSTAFF, Amiz., Sept. 20.—Republicans of Coconino County, Arizoua, send greetings and assurances of unanimous indorsement in the convention yesterday of the Republican nominationsand platform throughout. R. B. BUrNs, Chairman. Telegrams were received notifying Major McKinley of the formation of a ane num- ber of Republican clubs. = e BRYAN'S QUIET SABBATA. The Nomines Ocoupies Lincoln’s 0ld Pew at Church Services. WASHINGTON, D, C., Sept. 20.—Mr. Bryan’s plans for this evening were rather hastily changed in order to permit him to make the neces- sary railroad connections to fill his en- gagement in Dover, Del., to-morrow. In- stead of remaining here until to-morrow morning, he left to-night over the Penn- sylvania Railroad for Baltimore at 10 o'clock, and will leave that city to-morrow at 6:10 for Dover, The Sabbath day was oceupled by the candidate in securing a much-needed rest. He retired last evening at midnight im- medigtely upon his return from Balti- more, and slept until 8 o’clock this morn- ing, when he arose much refreshed. He remained quietly indoors until 11 o’clock, Wwhen he atiended service at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church. The announcement of this fact at- tracted to the church a number of per- sons not accustomed to worship there, but the edifice was by no means crowded. Mr. Bryan was not a stranger to the mem- bers of' New York Avenue Church. Dur- ing his Congressional career, and while Rev. Wiiliam Bartlert was pastor, Mr. Bryan was a frequent attendant upon the services. He usually escorted his father, a tall, striking looking man, with heavy gray locks, who was blind or nearly so. To-day Mr, Bryan had a seat in the pew occupied by President Lincoln who af- tended the church under the torate of Dr. Gurley. Rev, Dr. Radcliffe, the pas- tor, had no knowledge of the intended presence of the Presidential candidate until he reached the house. There wasonly the slightesy reference in any part of the service to the pending political struggle. In his prayer the preacher asked that in this time of commotion the Lord would be with the people and that the President whom they might select would be one of the Lord's own choosing, giving the coun- try ‘‘peace and honor.” Dr. Radcliffe's text was taken from the story of Solomon's dream: ‘‘Ask What I Shall Give You.” At the close of the services Mr. Bryan went forward to the Dul})it, as had been his custon, and spoke a few words to the preacher, Many of the congregation took advantage of the opportunity to press for- ward and pay their respects. As he left the church there was slight cheering by the crowd that waited for his appearance. GERMAN CATHOLICS CONVENE, 4n Effort Will Be Made lo Unify the Parious Socicties. DETROIT, Micu., Sept. 20.—Delegates to the conventions of the Roman Catholic Central Association, the German Young Men's Union, the German Priests’ Associa- tion and the Familien Verein, which com- menced in this city to-day, are here in large numbers. The leading convention of the quartet is that of the Central Asso- ciation, which has attracted 250 delegates representing 50,000 members. The pro- ceedings of the Central Association will be secret, but it is declared to be the in- tention to_bring about a union of all the Catholic German-American societies and eventually of the societies affiliated with the church, for mutual counsel and pro- teotion against anti-Catholic movements. @ To-morrow evening a torchlight proces- sion with 15,000 people in line will be the event in honor of the convention. —_— BURGLAE KILLED, Shot Throwugh the Heart While Fleeing From Policemen. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 20.—Early this morning Officers Becker and Carey saw three men, John O'Brien, William Walsh and a third whose name js un- known, leave a cigar-store ar 1135 Broad- way. Supposingthat a burglary had been committed the officers called to them to halt. but they broke into a run through West TFhirty-fifth street. The policemen gave chase and captured Walsh, O’ Brien was a considerable distance ahend and one of the officers fired twice. The first shot missed O'Brien, but the second hit him in the back and passed through his heart, killing him instantly. The third burglar escaped. A bundle that O'Brien had thrown away contained six boxes of cigars. O'Brien’s body was taken to the Morgue. e i Indiana’s Gift to Her Namesake, NIAGARA FALLS, N.

A SCOTLAND YARDS SENSATION DIES The Dynamite Scare Fails to Create a Popular Panic. A SUBJEiCT OF DERISION. Dubious Methods Employed by the Sleuths to Startle the World. NICHOLAS IS VERY NERVOUS. Every Precaution Is Taken for His Safety When He Lands on English Soil. TCopyright 1896 by the New York Times.] LONDON, Exc., Sept. 20.—The London newspapers made most frenzied efforts to invest the capture of Tynan and his col- leagues with tremendous importance, and they have really given more space and wilder headlines to the affair than the actual dynamite explosions used to get & dozen years ago; but all their clamor failed to create anything like a popular panic. Indeed, so far as I can see, *‘the man in the street’” 1s deriding the whole thing. Beotland Yard gave its case all away at tbe very outset, in its eagerness for newspa- per flattery, by explaining bow it had been warned from America that these terrible conspirators were coming, and by telling how it had shadowed all of them every bour since they had landed. Upon re- flection people do not find this such an extraordinary feat, and, moreover, they have béen growing suspicious about the relations Letween Scotland Yard and the Clan-na-Gael ever since Le Caron’s revela- tious. In this present case, for instance, itis asked how we can be sure that the very spies who sent the warning of Tynan's coming, dia not furnish the money for T'ynan to come with. Aside from this there is the fact that none of these criminal idiots have done anything except get drunk and proclaim desperate resolves to barrooms full of strangers, The chances are twenty to one against either Tynan or the two fellows arrested at Rotterdam being handed over to Eng- land, and it is a matter of grave doubt if the English officials ever expected or de- sired such action. There is, indeed, prob- ably enough evidence to put Ivory on trial, possibly to congjct him, and this, with the reclame of the seizures at Bou- logne and Rotterdam, will give Scotland Yard a sufficient advertisement. It is noteworthy that in Ireland, Tynan, Kear- ney and Haines are everywhere repudi- ated as frauds of the lowest order. Natur- ally, Ivory’s presence in §cotland associ- ated the plot at once with the impending visit of the Czar. Yet nothing could be more unlikely than that they had any connection, for the physical force group of Irishmen a. s bave cheers for Russia in her assumed capucity as the enemy of England. Stiil, the deduction seems to have been taken seriously by the Czar himself, or at least by those responsible for his safety. Not only have precautions at Leith and on the route to Balmoral been increased until'all that part of Sci isin some- thing like a staf e, but the exact time of the Czar's arrival in Leith harbor and all the subsequent timetables by rail are still kept unsettled. It is probable that he will reach Leith on Monday, but not even that is officially decided. The police of Paris are stirred by this sensational outery into making domicil- iary visits all over the city, and I am ad- vised from the Foreign Office that not only’ will new passports be needed by straneers who visit France to see the re- ception cf the Czar, but it will be well also to 2o and register one’s name at the Bu- reau of Foreign Residents. The Paris papers are having great fun over the question of a uniform in which President Faure can property receive the imperial guests. This notion was started as a journalistic joke, but President Faure took it seriously and bad his tailors make and submit a lot of designs. It is understood that the Ministry vetoed this pleasing project, but M. Faure got out of the dress schemes snbmitted the basis of an idea for a distinctive uniform o VIEW FROM CONSTANTINOPLE. of the Ottoman Empire is now a point upon which the eyes of the leading diplomats of European powers ate turned, Anxious as England and Germany appear to suppress the slaughter of Armenians, both nations are loth to act except in concert with Russia, - to wear while wing the troops, and this uniform h:‘h’:’ been wearing p:“ the week at the Angouleme maneuvers. It is a riding costume consisting of a black bussar jacket, heavily braided, tight mouse-colored trousers, worn inside van- d{n boots, & low black slouched bat. with a curling brim and ashort nut-brown overcoat, cut rather like a cavalry officer’s hooded clonk. Thus attired M. Faure has ridden about on a light chestnui steed, followed by an Elysee groom in a French biue coat and & silk hat with & tri-color cockade on it. The effect of this on the army has not been reported, but the boule- vards are still holding their sides with merriment. One of the favorite pleasantries is to the effect that the peasants of La Charente ail firmly believed that the groom was the president. This jesting seems to be all good-nutured enough, but none the less ridicule is a sharper pointea weapon in France than in some otner lands, and if M. Faure were to show that he resented this ch.fin%he would be made to suffer at once, ortunately, he has a very cheery temperament and displays such naive ecstasy in being President, even when he is called the ‘‘shop-waiker of the republic,” that it 1s to the genial side of the popular mind that he irresistibly ap- peals, HARALD FREDERICK. BRUTAL WIFE MURDER, The Woman Dragged to the Woods and Her Throat Cut, % CLEVEUAND, Oxmro, Sept. 20.—The cit- izens of Bedford, twelve miles south of this city, are horror-stricken over a highly sensational murder which took place there late this afternoon. James McMillan, who had separated from his wife, decoyed her from her father’s house, kidnaped her, drove toa dense wood, and there hacked her throat with a jackknife. Pursuers frightened bim away. He stole a horse and buggy and started across the country, pursued by halt a dozen men in buggies. If they 3""3" him there is apt to be another eath. NAMES GF BATTLE-SHPS California, Alabama and Penn- sylvania Will Probably Be Selected. Numerous Suggestions Are Made as to Names for the Six New Gunboats. ‘WASHINGTON, D. €., Sept. 20.—For fully three months the question of naming not only the new torpedo-boats, but the six composite gunboats and the three newest battle-ships, has been before Secre- tary Herbert. In some cases the plan has been to allow the Secretary under the a ministration in which the vessel is launched to choose the name rather than the one under which she has been pianned or which has made the contract for her construction; but there are also cases in | which the name has been given when a vessel's keel has been laid. This last ap- pears also to be a familiar practice 1n Eng. land and other foreign countries, espece ially in cases of large ships a long time under construction. It is probable, there- fore, that Becretary Herpert will avail himself of bis privilege to name the new | battle-ships when the contracts for them are given out, or soon afterward. Indeed, it has been intimated tbat the three States selected are . California, Alabama and Pennsylvania. % The first of these names is presumably suggested in part by the fact that one of the ships, asin the case of the Oregon, will be built on the Pacific Coast. Ala- bama iz the Secretary’s own State, and, although there is aiready a Montgomery in the navy, it is not nulikely that he wiil make this selection. Pennsylvania is a good name for a battle-ship, and the fact that the Cramps have built so many of our vessels would be an additional reason for its selection. As to the six gunboats, the applicants for standing sponsors to them are numer- ous. Such names as Allegheny, Birming- ham, Bridgeport, Chattanooga, Chelsea, Germantown, Gloucester, Lexington, Ken- esaw, Marictta, New Bedford, New Lon- don, Norfolk, North Point, Niagara, Ta- coma, Vicksburg and Wheeling will sug- gest the variety of applications and there are others, like Albany, Cleveland, Omaha, Pittsburg and St. Louis, The board which is planning a reserve fleet system for the navy is understood to be considering three yards from which to select a station for laying up lhi%- in or- dinary on the Atlantic coast. They are the Brooklyn, the Portsmouth and the League Island yards, Each has points in its favor, and it is sible that two of them will be used. Each of these has the advantage of being situated directly at a great manufacturing and commercial oity, where there is not only plenty of labor at command, but ship building material of all sorts, with abundant supplies. When a ship is laid up in reserve, it is with the intent of having her ready to be put in commission at short notice. Soon a similar station will be selected for the Pacific Coast. Torpedo boats will be laid up in reserve like cruisers, monitors and battleships, but for them sheds will be constructed, aad it is not unlikely that they may be found at several navy yards along the coast, since these craft are essentially for local defense and should be ready to act Emm tly, and each section of the coast ave its share of them. Lieutenant William F. Hancock, Fifth Artillery, is relieved from the completion of shipment of Government prodpert from the University to Rock Island, Iil, He will then proceed to join his battery, ree——e SHRJOSE MARKSHE W Empire Gun Club of Oakland Beaten in a Shooting Contest. The Garden City Cyclers’ Team Takes the Match—Preparing for the 'l'»nmamamt SAN JOSE, CaL, Sept. 20,—The inani- mate target contest between the Empire Gun Ciub of Oakland and the Garden City Cyclers’ Gun Club of this ecity took piace to-day and attracted a large crowd to the Cyclers’ Club’snew shooting grounds on the Polhemus tract. The visiting team was accompanied by many members of the club and a number of Iadies. The scores made were very poor, but this was accounted for by the poor light due to the cloudy day and the fact that the biue- rocks were thrown tlow. The match was won by the Garden City Cyclers’ team, with a score of 208 to 192 for the visiting team. The marksmen with their respec- tive scores were as follows: The Cyclers’ team is making e: nsive tions for the California Inanimate Association meet, which will be in this eity on October 4 ana 5. Twenty-four clu for this contest, and at least tI expected. Over 200 participants will T n- qu:e in the sport. Fifty thousand p‘ue- rocks have peen purchased, and are now in a tent on thegrounds. Five ele ctric traps will be operated during the match. It is estimated that this will be the biggest inanimate target shoot ever held in this State, and sportsmen from many sections will be present. Several of the gun clubs will have two or more teams contesting for the prizes. & Next Sunday the Cyclers’ Gun Club wil have a match shoot against the Olympic Gun Clubof San Francisco on the same grounds.

STOCKTON, Car., Sep:. 20.—To-day’s baseball game was one of the best of the season. It was the first played by the Stockton team since it re-entered the league formed by the Imperials, San Franciscos, Oaklands and Stocktons. The game was snappy from start to finish, the local men winning by timely fielding and good work with the stick. Cooney and Lochhead for San Francisco and Stockton made three base hits. Two base hits were made by Iburg and Chase. The great fielding of the day was done by Monahan of San Francisco. The score by innings were as follows: Stoekton,.
