The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, September 22, 1896, Page 2

o e THE 'SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, 2 e | appearance. They fully appreciate their situation, and recognize the i pussibili_ty on the part of the few war vesszls now in vort of protecting and sheltering the Br\!— ish subjects, to say nothing of {he Ameri- cans and others who have no refuge in the shape of a man-of-war present. Of the 700,000 or 800,000 pevple in the | eities and towns about the Golden Horn a little over 50 per cent are Turks, or rather Mohammedans. . Greeks and Armenians come next in numbers, about 150,000 a_nch. and the balance is made up of Circassians and other Asiatics—Jews, Albanians, Bul- parians, etc. There are comparatively few ‘Western Europeans and Americansamong the number. All these, with few excep- tions le 1n Pera and transact their in Galata, and when occasion re- quires in® Stamboul. Formerly the Eu- ropeans all resided i Stamboul, but when the several bassies, led by the. British, one after another, moved across the water and located vermanently on the bills of | Pera the members of the various nation- alities followed them and have built up a city as unique in charaeter and customs as is to be found in the world. The archi- tecture is essentially European, but it is like no other city in Europe. With the exodus of the English and others to Pera Stamboul was no longer the center of the trade incident to their presence. This gradually followed them across the bridge to Galata, on the slope of the hill crowned by Pera. In time the two cities grew into one, as it were, and now number together over 280,000 people. Pera is the residence part and seat of | diplomacy and Galata the commercial part. In Galata are the varigus sbipping houses, the Ottoman and other banking institutions, most of the foreign con- sulates and hospitals, postcflices, etc., with some churches and schools. business quarter, in which nearly all the Europeans are engaged, lies mainly a few blocks on either side of the main street leading right up from the outer bridze past the tower of Galata and joins the grand Rue de Pera at the brow of the hill. A line ot streetcars starts from the Otto- man Bank and runs up the hill through Pera, on out to the suburbs. The short- est route down the hill from the principal part of Pera, however, is through the tunnel, several hundred yards long, which begins some distance below the Russian Embassy and terminates just be- low the Ottoman Bank. Pera is, as it were, entirely surrounded by Turks. On the northeast is Taksim, east is Fundukli and Tapkhani, on the west Cassimpacha, Husa-kini and others, and on the south and through which the only available routes to the landing places lie is Galata, which, as far as the Tesidents are concerned, is as Turkish al- most as Stamboul itself. In case of trouble passage through Galata from Pera would be impossible for unarmed men end women and children, and sailors and marines from such war vesseis as are now present would find much difficalty and serious delay in pass- ing up to Pera. The ground around the various embassies are extensive and sur- rounded by strong walls, and the build- ings are substuntial and large stone structures. These would afford a tem- porary refuge in case of a sudden out- break. Ouat the Rne de TPera, in Taksim and near the Italian and German embassies, is the artillery barracks, and in care of any other soldiers would be a guarantee of pro- tection to tue Perites, but being Turks there is no counting on them or on their officers.

The | BRFAN TALKED N DELAWARE He Was -Sidetracked at Newcastle and Made | a Speech. FEW PEOPLE HEARD HIM But All and Sundry Shook Him by His “Sore and In- flamed ” Hands. THE FIRST CHEER OF THE DAY | It Was Given at Elkton, Where About Fifty People Awaited the | Silver Advocate. WILMINGTON, DkL., Sept. 21.—Candi- date Bryan slept to-night at the Clayton House, in this city, after a day of more or less trying incidents. 2 On the trip from Dover to Wilmington Mr. Bryan made a short speech to a large audience at Newcastle, where a stop of about a half hour was made. His car was sidetracked, leaving the train to proceed to Wilmington. Later it was picked up by an excarsion special and reached Wilmington at 5:50 o’clock. It was received at the railway station by verhaps a thousand people, who cheered the candidate heartily. With his plans for a zood rest in Wil- mington disarranged by the action of the Delaware escort committee, Mr. Bryan starfed out from Baltimore this morning at 6:25 o’clock for Dover, Del., to fill an engagement to speak in the afternoon. The first incident of the day was at Havre de Grace, where a score of people boarded the day coach in which Mr. Bryan was sitting and shook the cand:date’s sora and inflamed hands. At Perryvilie, just across the Susque- hanna River, and at Northeast more peo- ple greetea him in the car. The first cheer of the day was given at Elkton, reached at 8:11, where about fifty were in the crowd. At nearly every station somebody explained to Mr. Bryan that his early coming would disappoint many people | who were relying on adherence to the | schedule which the Delaware committee had caused to be changed. At Newark, Del., the candidate changed cars toa little branch line that carried s him to Porters station, six miles away. Some Delaware Coldege boys of Newark | gave him an original Bryan yell, and Mr. | Bryan went out on the platform and shook hands with them. When Mr. Bryan reached Porters he found not the hundreds of excursionists oh whose account he had been persuaded to lose_his night’s rest, but the members of the Dover reception committee. The journey from Porters to Dover was made overthe Delaware division of tne Pennsylvania Railroad. Middletown had dut a brass band and about 300 people, and Mr. Bryan made his first little speech of the day there. Mr. Bryan reached Dover at 10:32 A. M. A big crowd at the railway station gave him a cheer and then followed his car- riage through the streets to the Capital Hotel, where a short informal reception was held. When it was over Mr. Bryan was spirited outa side door down to the residence of General R. R. Kenney, where he immtdillelg went to bed. Much refreshed by his nap, Mr. Bryan went from General Kenney’s to the Capi- tal Hotel, where he had dinner, and then | proceeded to the State Fair grounds, where 5000 people, seated on the grand stand and gathered on the track and en- closure, received him with cheers. The | candidate was introduced by ex-Congress- man John A. Nicholson at 2 o’clock. Mr. Bryan said: | 1 waut to read you an extract from a speech made on last Saturday by the Republican can- cidate for Presideni at Canton. Ho said: “Under the Republican protective policy we | enjoyed for more than thirty years the most marvelous prosperity that has ever been given toany nation of the world. We not only had individual prosperity, but we hed National prosperity.” Now, there is & statement made within a week by the Presidential candidate on the Republfean ticket, pointing back for thirty vears from 1860 'to 1830, and teliing the people that doering that period we en)o;‘ed the most marvelous p:olyeruy and ° Na- tional ‘pmpcrlty. 1 want to show you by this same witness’ very testimony given six years ago, that after thirty years of this kind of policy the farmers of this country were no¢ prosperous. 1f you will take the ré- port filed with the McKinley biil ou the 16th of April, 1890, you wi.l find the words which I wish to quote: “That there is widespread depression 1n this industry to-day cannot be doubted,” speaking of agriculture. That is ‘what the Presidential candidate said when he deliberately wrote the report and filed it with his proposed legislation. *“That there is widespread depression in this industry to.day canunot be doubted.” [Ap- plause.] Again in that sume Teport he said: “One of tne chief complaints now prevalent among our farmers is that they can getno rrice for crops at all commensurate tothe abor and capiial invested in their produc- tion.” Thatis what he sald, after thirty years, of the kind of policy which thecandidate of the Republican party will bring you prosper- ity. Let me read again: “We have not believed that the people, already suffering ifrom low prices, can or will be satisfied with legislation which will result in lower prices. No country ever suffered when prices were fairly remun- erative in every field of labor.” Afier thirty yeurs of that kind of policy he tells you that the people are suffering from low prices, and that no country ever suffered when prices were fairly remunerative in every field of labor. Now let me read you again wnat he says 1n this same report: *This great indusiry [speaking of agriculture] is fore- wost 1n magnitude and importance in our country. Its success and prosperity are vital 1o the Nation. No prosperity 1s possible to other industries it agriculture ianguish.” That iswhat he said in 1890, that there wasde- pression in agrieuliure after thirty years of his taruf policy, and that without prosperity in agriculture there could be no .prosperity among the other iudustries of the country. Let me read you just ome other ex- tract: “The depression in agriculture is not confined to the United States. The re- ports of the Agricuitural Depariment indicate ihat this distress is general, that Great Britain, France and Germany are suffering in & larger degree than the farmers of the United Siates.” There he is telling’ us there is depression in agriculture and giving «he names of three prominen: agricultural nations of the O.d World and telling us that the agricultural de- pression is even more marked over there than itis here. 1wantyou to remember that when you read in-the paper that he said that for thirty years we haa such marvelous prosperity in thiscountry. [Applause.] Now, my friends, I bave quoted you that he said there was depression in agriculture in Germany, I waut 10 read you wnat Prince Bismarck says sbout the coudiiion of affairs in Germany. Our opponents are in the habit oi telling us that ail the tivilized nations are in favor of the gold standard. The Germuns who live in this couniry gulnt with & just pride to the greatness ot this illustrious Ger- man, Prince Bismarck. Let me read you what he has said within a few weeks in regard o bimetallism and then see whether he testifies that the gold standard has been & good thing for Germany. [:\é)plluse.j Ina leuter written to Governor Culbertson of Texas, and dated the 24th of August, 1896, Prince Bismarck sald: “Your esteemed favor of July 1 has been duly received. Ihave always had a predilection for bimetallism, but 1 wouid not while in office elaim my view of the matter to be infallibly irue when ad- vaneed against the views ol experts. I hold to this very hour that 1t would be advisable o bring about beiween the nations chiefly en- gaged in the world’s commerce a mutuai | agreement in favor of the establishmeni of bimetalliism.” ; 1f the goid standard had been a blessing to Germany why would not he say that it was better to keep the gold standard instead of getting rd of the gold standard and subsui- tuting the doubie standard by nationsl agree- ment?” Considered from a commercial and indus- trial standpoint the United States are freer by far in their movements than sny nalion in Europe, and hence if the peopie of the United tates shouid find it compatibie with tLeir in- terests to take independent action in the di- rection of bimetaliisin I cannot but believe that such action would exert a most salutary influence upon the consummation of inter- ustional agreement and the coming 1nto this league of every European nation. We have those among us people who have said thut some other nation must take the lead. Prince Rismarck says that the people of the United Siates are freer by far in their movements than the nations of Europe. Can it be that this greatGerman statesman has a higher conception of the ability of the people of the Unitea States than the Tories, who are not wiliing to do anything until they ask the consent ot other nalions? [Applanse.] Not only does Prince Bisinarck say that we are freer to take action than other nations, but he says if we act it will exert a most salu- tary influence upon the consummation of in- teruational agreement and the coming into this league of every European nation. Priuce Bismarck testifies first, ithe goid standard is the policy in Germany and he wanis bi- metallism restored; he testifies second, that the United States is in the best position of all the States to take the lead; he tesiines third, that if this Nation takes the lead it will have a salutary influence, not in preventing bi- metailism, but bringing other nations of Europe into an_ international agreement. 1 desire that you shall remember this testimony, coming from #o distinguished an authority in Germany. Let me call your attention to another thing which Prince Bismarck said. Our opponents tell us that we are arraying one class against avother. Let me show you what Pringe Bis- marck has said in regard to the classes on the questions which concern agricultural depres- sfon. A little more than & year #go he was quoted as saying to a farmer audience in Ger- many ibet the farmers must stand togeiher and protect themselves from the drones of society who produce nothing but laws. [Great .Pplnuse.}) {,lflcndp, divide society into two classes. On the one side put the non-pro. ducers and on the other side put the producers of wealth end you will find toat in this country the majority of the laws are made by the non-producers, instead of the proaucers, of wealth, and just so long as tle non-pro- Aucers make the iaws, just so long it wilP be more profitable to be & non-producer of wealth. Bismarck tried to arouse the farmers of Ger- many to throw out these drones and take SEPTEMBER 22, 1896. charge of legislation themselves. I su) m? will euu'éunn-ck an agitator. hlgol: and applause.] Isnppose will say that he ought not to array one class of society againsianother. Of course, I don’t know drones feel in a bee hive, but ifdrones conld talk and meke speeches, I bet that you could no':,‘el; o9 of their s ul:‘-: thes, e made by the heads of those g call everybody anarchisis who do not believe with them.

[Great applause and cheers.] —— = AN OFF DAY AT CANTION. But Reception of Delegations Wilt Be Zesumed To-Day. CANTON, Onro, Sept. 21.—This has been an unéventful day for Major McKinley. There were no delegations scheduled for to-day and none called. There were few callers at the house and none of political prominence. Thecandidate has stood the strain of the past week with remarkable firmness, and he 1s 1n the very best of health and spirits. To-morrow afternoon he will resume the reception of deiegations and begin another week of speech-making. The delegations expected to-morrow are: Citizens of Jamestown and Chautauqua County, New York, sixteen coaches; Me- Kinley clubs ot Northern Indiana, start- ing at Eikhart and coming in a train of three sections; Republicans and friends from Holmes County, Ohio. - A few personal friends of Major Mc- Kinlev have suggested to bim the ad- visability of setting apart some portion of each day at which time to receive visiting delegations. This arrangement, it is argued, would bring the delegations to- ether and one speech could be made to So service for two or more delégations. It would also give Major McKinley more time to look after his private affairs. At present the delegations arrive at all hours of the day and go at once to the McKinley residence. » Although the proposed plan wauld re- lieve Major McKinley of s great deal of the strain to which he has been subjected the past week, it is believed he‘will not consent to any interference with the pres- ent arrangements, He has confidence in his ability to at tlgee:s all the delegations that have thus far been arranged for and he will be pleased to receive them col- lectively or individualiy—just as they happen to come along. gy SO BISMARCK’S LETTER. Regarded by Demoeratic Leaders as of tireat Campaign Importance. CHICAGO, Iri., Sept. 21.—The Demo- cratic National Committee regards the let- ter of Prince Bismarck favoring bimetal- lista as a step toward an international agreement, and the cablegram sent to Mr. Bryan by the International Agricultural Congress at Buda-Pesth is making the first genuine political sensation of the cam- | paign in favor of free silver coinage. Members of the committee at Chicapo headquarters said to-day these documents silenced the plaviorm and assertions of the Republicans on the point that the United States alone could not change the monetary system of the world and that the present agitation would be detri- mental to international bimetallism. The committee decided to bave ihese declara- tione translated into several languages, especially German, and distribute several millions. Governor Altgeld's Baturday speech in reply to Cockran and Schurz is regarded by Chairman Jones as one of the ablest expositions of the silver cause that has been delivered during the eampaign, and the demand for it will be met by the print- ing of it in German and English for wide distribution. SIS AL IDAHO IS PROMISING. Family Quarrels May Give the State to the Republicans. CHICAGO, I, Sept. 21.—Senator Shoup, the aggressive McKinley silver Senator from Idaho, was at headquarters to-day negotiating with Colone! Hahn for Foraker or some other orator to make a speech in Boise City. The Senator-elect from Ohio is engaged to deliver three addresses in Illinois, October 1 to 3, one of which will be in Chicago and one in Springfield. He will also speak in Burling- ton, Towa, October 5, on the occasion of the semi-centennial celebration of Iowa’s admission. Mr. Bryan will have his inn- ings there three days after. As tothe situation in Idaho SBenator Shoup said: “The Populists and Democrats are quarreling among themselves and accus- ing each other of bad faith. They do not fuse with the bolting Republicans, We have a full Republican ticket in the field from McKinley electors down to the smaliest office and we will elect some of the State ticket.

He said: “If the election were held to-day Ken- tucky would give Bryan 40,000 majority. Nothing can materially decrease that ad- vantage between now ana November. In fact, I believe he will carry the State by 50,000 majority. There are not more than 5000 gold Democrats in the State and most of them will vote for McKinley, while we will get the whole Popdlist vote, which amounts t0 25,000. In Eaatern Kentucky the Republicans. are almost a unit for Bryan. General Buckner will get only 45 votes in his own county for Vice-Presi- dent. This is the result of an actual can- vass, The Democrats of Kentucky are very' bitter against him. He introduced aud voted for a resolution in his own county conventicn pledging the delezates to support the nominees of the Chicago Convention. His own violation of that vledge is regarded by Kentuckians as a gross breach of political honor. TS e SEWALL REPUDIATES. Cireular Bearing His Name Asks Sup- Port for Mckinley and Hobart. BATH, ME., Sept. 21.—Secretary A. R. Smith of the American Merchant Marine Association a week aro sent out circulars which appealed to voters to support Mec- Kinley and Hobart. The circular letter bears the printed heading of the Merchant Marine Association. The first words at the top of the sheet are, in capital letters, ‘““Arthur Sewall of Batn, Me., president.” A reporter called at-the residence of Mr. Bewall this evening to interview him re- garding the circular. Mr. Sewall said: “I have seen the circular. You can say that it was entirely unauthorized by me, and T cannot susiain it. The American Merchant Marine Protective Association wus formed for the purpose of improving the American merchant marine, and it was to be non-politica! and non-partisan. Some of the members have seen fit to try to bring it into polities, and 1 have with- drawn from it, both as its president and as a member,” gt o HAWKEYES }OE McKINLEY. Thirty-Five Thousand Republican Ma- ' Jority a Safe Figure. CHIUAGO, 1L, Sept. 21.—A. B. Cum- mins, National executive committeeman, returned to Republican headquarters to- day from Iowa, where he has been making a thorough observation of the party work and prospects. To & reporter for the Ug&ted Associated Presses Mr. Cummins said: “lowa is safe at this moment for 35,000 llle;nbllc-n majority, That'is the best f“ gment I can form. The vote will be a ittie larger than we had last year. There is one uncertain element there. We do not know how many sound-money Demo- crats will vote for McKinley. We will have a lerge gain from the Demoerats— more than we will lose from silver Re- publicans. Then there are the Democrats who will vote for Palmer. There are about 14,000 silver Republicans in Iowa. Organized labor is split up. I think the railroadmen are with us, although it is said they are only talking that way and will vote for Bryan. e BUCKENEE IN NEW YORK. The Gemeral Says Kentucky Will Go Against Bryan. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 21.—General Buckner, the National Democratic candi- date for Vice-President, arrived at the Fifth-avenue Hotel-this afternoon accom- panied by Henry Watkins, Graham Vree- land and Morris B. Belknap. Oolonel John R. Fellows was also with them. General Buckner was reluctant to talk -about political affairs. “I have no fixed plans,”” he sai nd am entirely in the hands of the National Committee.”” “How will Kentucky go?” he was asked. ficntucky will go against Bryan,” he replied. "“Does that imply that the State will go for McKinley.” “I am working for my own ticket and Kentucky will go against Bryan,” was ail the General would say. General Buckner will leave to-morrow night after tbe Madison-square_ Garden ratification meeting for Richmond. k5 T e Confidence in His Stumping Efforts. CHICAGO, IrL., Sept. 21.—Ex-Congress- man Coffeen of Wyoming, who has been stumping South Dakota, called at Demo- cratic headquarters to-day and said that g“ Btate would give a large majority for yao. VALENTINE GADESDEN DEAD. Well Known in San Francisco and Co-Re- spondent in the Yarde-Buller Divorce Suit. LONDON, Exa., Sept. 21.—A dispatch from Bad Nauheim, in the Grand Duchy of Hesse, announces the death there on Sun- day of Valentine Gadesden. He died sud- denly of heart disease. Gadesden was formerly of San Francisco and was made co-respondent in.the suit fora divorce brought by Walter Yarde- Buller, brother of Baron Churston, against his wife, the daughter of the late General Kirkham of | Oakland. Tha case against Gadesden was dismissed. He was allowed the costs. The verdict rendered was that Mrs. Yarde-Buller was not guilty of cru- eley or infldelity and that a decree of judi- cial separation be granted to her with costs. Gadesden was quite prominent in cer- tain eircles in Ban Franciscisco. He was always a hai! fellow well met and was quite fond of athletics. His favorite pastime was playing ericket or tennis. He was quite an adept in both games. He never seemed to have any particular busi- ness affsirs to attend to, yet he was always well dressed and well supplied with money. In the trial of the divorce case Gadesden was very active in the de- fense of Mrs, Yarde-Buller. GOLD ———— COMING FROM EUROPE, Several Millions Will Arrive Here in the Aext Few Days. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 21.—The steamship La Gascogne, which arrived from Havre, brought $500,000 gold, con- signed to Lazard Freres. The Bank of British North America an- nounces that it will have a consignment of $500,000 zold on the steamship Teutonic, leaving Enrope Wednesday. Chicago advices state that arrangements have been made in London for the ship- ment of §1,700,000. Of this amount§1,200,- 000 is for the new Chicago Edison Com- pany 5 per cents recently sold abroad. Oables announced the sale of £203,000 American eagles by the Bank of England to-day. The bank still asks 78s for gold bars, but in the open market the price is 3%d lower.

Over Five Millions of Dollars Are to Be Expended in the Work. INCREASE IN THE ARTILLERY. Two More Regiments and Probably More Will Bz Added to the Regular Army. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. subject of coast defense is receiving a great deal of attention from the scientific departments of the army. Large contracts, involving the expen- dituze of five or six million dollars, are to be awarded soon for the furnishing of gun forgings, manufacture of a number of rifles under private contract and the pur- chase of material with which to begin the preparation of various sites for the bat- teries determined upon. Land for the emplacements in the ma- jority of cases hasalready been purchased, and where it has not condemnatory pro- ceedings are being taken to secure it. The entire plan for the defense of more important cities has been completed and approved by the department, but so careful isit, not to permit outsiders to learn the character or strength of the fortifications, that it will not be until most of them are nearly completed that the cities they are designed to protect will know the actual number of guns manned. The allotment of $12,000,000 appropri- ated by the last Congress has been made with the view to protecting larger and more exposed cities from sea attack and to set aside sufficient money for smaller towns for the purchase of land. It is certain that all the iarger fortifications will include in their armament & number of 16.inch rifles, by far the heaviest type of gun ever at- tempted in this country and of which there are but few abroad. Recently the ‘War Department has purchased forgings to begin a trial gun of this caliber, and if it proves successful twenty will be manu- factured for the larger cities. General Craighill, who will direct the work of preparing the emplacements, re- fuses to aiscuss the question at all or to intimate the nature of the defenses of any cit!: He believes that all questions of defenses should be guarded with rigid care by the War Department in order to prevent foreign Governments from secur- ing information, none of which would think of permitting the United States to acquire similar information as to foreign defenses. The eonstruction of this great line of defenses means substantial inciease in the standing army in a few years, and es- vecially of the artillery branch, t6 which will fall the work of manning and caring for them. Nearly all the fortificationsare at cities where the artillery branch is either unrepresented or the gar- rison icadequate to the mnew de- mands, so that with the completion of the defenses and the erection of new barracks the army will be called upon to farnish at least two more regi- ments of artiliery and possibly more, as the work of protecting the country from sea attack progres-es. This means that there will bea wide distribution of artillery along the seaboard and new garrisons established at points which have not known the presence of Federal troops since the war period.
