B A Good Cartoon by the Wasp. During the present campaign the Wasp has published & number of striking and effective colored cartoons. This week it publishes one of the best of the series. The story of Androm- eda and the dragon furnishes the idea. Colum- bia chained to the rock of hard times by free- trade shackles is about to be devoured by the Popocratic dragon with the heads of Bryan, Sewall and Altgeld, when a couple of well-di- rected arrows, marked ‘“Maine vote” and “Vermont vote,” reach his vitals. As the hideous monster crouches down on tne sand at Columbia’s feet, wounded and bleeding, McKinley, in the guise of the valiant Gresian hero Perseus, advances sword in hand to fin- isn the rescue. The champion of protection bears the motto *“Sound Money and National Credit” on his shield, while his trenchant sword, which is about to be plunged into the dragon’s body, is marked “November elec- tion.” The cartoon sums up the politieal sit- vation perfectly and vigorously, and, like all the Wasp's pictorial work, is first class. . ——— Telegram of Confidence.

ONLY ONE EXCEPTION. X The Barkentine W. H. Dimond Got In Yesterday in Fair Time, TROUBLE ON THE GARRATT. Chief Engineer and Chief Steward Had an Altercation That Ended in Bloodsh=d. All the sailing vessels from the Ha- wailan Islands have been making re- markably long vovages of late. The mo- notony was broken yesterday when the barkentine W. H. Dimond got in. She made the run in the fair time of 22 days, this beating the Alden Besse 30 days, An- drew Welch 29 days and the Rhoderick Dhu 32days. The Dimond is loaded with sugar and rice, and is consigned to J. D. Spreckels & Bros. Company. Fair winds, but light, were experienced throughout the trip, and Captain Nilson was able to sail his vessel in through the Golden Gate and to an anchorage off the sugar refinery. He savs that the voyage was a long one, but was somewhat con- soled when he heard of the long trips made by the other vessels. The harbor police are anxiously look- ing for a potato peddler who attempted to steal a gunny of sugar from the Sacra- mento steamer San Joaquin. He was loading his wagon on Washington-street wharf and incidentally picked up the sugar. He soon discovered that the police had been summ oned and made his escape. His wagon and horse, with the stolen sugar, were taken to the police station and will be held until the thief is caught and the rightful owner 1s found. There was a stabbing affray on the Stockton steamer Mary Garratt last Thurs- day night. Chief Engineer Sampson and Chief Steward Stackpole got into an alter- | cation. A free fight ensued and Stack- | pole got off with a scalp wound. He says he was cut with a knife. No arrests were made. There is one man.on the Oceanic Steam- ship Company’s Mariposa that will be glad when sailing day arrives. The vessel only | got mn on Thursday, but nevertheless her nose cannot be turned toward Australia | again too quick for Frank Funke. He is | in the steward’s department, and was mar- ried to Miss Edith Smith a day before the Marlposa sailed for San Francisco. The | briae was left behind, but next trip Frank | expects to bring ber along and domicile her in a neat little homein the Mission. Captains of ssiling vessels that have to use Oakland Creek are loud in their de- nunciations of the actions of steam- schooner and freightboat masters. Vessels under steam have invariably to give way | to vessels under sail, but this the schooner | skippers claim is never done. The chan- | nel'is narrow, and the.steamers when they want to pass push their noses against the craft unaer sail und push her away. On every occasion the sailing vessel suffers to the extentof $10 or $20 for broken rigging and torn sails, while the steamer | escapes without any damage. Bills have been sent to the owners of the offending ' crafts, but no satisfaction has ever been | obtained. Now the schooner owners have combined and suit will be brought against | the next steamer that crowds a sailing | ship. Captain Eick, owner of the schooner | C. L. Place, and a number of others ure at | the head of the movement, and tke cap- tain intends to see the matter through the courts. The monitor Monadnock will sail for Eureka in a couple of days, and will re- main there for two_weeks. She will be turned over to the Naval Battalion, ana the company stationed at that point will be drilled in the various maneuvers prac- ticed aboard a man-of-war. The company at Eureka will be the last of those on the coast to take a trip to sea on a warship. The biggest tow ever made on this coast was that of the tug Fearless last Thursday. Captain Dan Haskell brought down from Port Costa the British ships Hollinswood and Joraanbill. Both vessels were loaded with wheat, nevertheless the run down was made 1n three hours and ten minutes, one of the quickest trips on record, con- sidering the circumstances. Captain Dan Haskell put 2the Fearless alongside the Jordanhill, and, taking the Hollinswood in tow, came aiong during the entire run at a ten-knot gait. ; CATHERIN: DI QUALIFIED. The Yacht Truant Winner of the Re- " gatta Cup. The regatta committee of the Pacific Interclub Yacht Association held a meet- ing in the Merchants’ Exchange building last evening, and after a lengthy confer- ence disqualified the yacht Catherine, which won the cup in the regatta of the Oth inst. At the finish of the race on the 9th inst. the vacht Truant was declared the winner. A few days later, however, the Catherine was remeasured, and it was found that she was entitled to the cup over the Truant, baving beaten the latter over thirty sec- onds corrected time, This led to a discus- sion, and it was found that the Catherine was sailed by a professional sailor in the race. The case was taken up by the com- mittee last evening and the boat was dis- qualified and the cup awarded the Truant. The Whirlwind, which_ sailed third in the race, was given second place. —————— Returned ¥From His Vacation. Charles A. Zinkand, the proprietor of the Cafe Zinkand, has returned from Cazadero, where he has been rusticating for neariy two months. While away Mr. Zinkand achieved quite a reputation as a bunter, four deer having been killed by him. He feels very much refreshed as the resuit of hisouting, and says that he feelsable now to attend to the duties of catering 10 the publio in better style than ever. —————a . ‘Williams in San Qaentin. Dick Williams, the convicted ex-Chinese interpreter, was teken to San Quentin by Deputy United States Marshal Gallagher yes- terday morning. The trip was devoid of Inter- est until the prison gates were reached. Williams then showed for the first time that he appreciated the position in which his acts had placed him. There are some who yet believe that the ex-interpreter could tell a great story of wrongdoing in customs circles, provided he could be assured thata few months woula be taken off his six-year sentence. It isgenerally thought, however, that the only evidence he could produce would be in the shape of affi- davyits from p'orl. of his own kind, Chinese. It is known that for several weeks past he has been engaged in procuring this kind of testi- mony, with a yiew of ultimately securing his release on bail. —_—————— Trunks Moved 25 Cents.

THE CASE ONE OF LAW Questions of Fact and State Committee Authority Are Not Raised at All REGISTRAR'S POWER THE ISSUE The Buckley Side Admits Hinton’s Answer and Makes the Battle on a Purely Legal Point. The Supreme Court had placed before it yesterday the case of the Buckleyites, in- volving their right to go on the ofticial ballot with the title “Democrat,’”’ and a decision is looked for some time next week. ¢ The arguments consumed about two hours of the afternoon and were listened to by all the Justices except Henshaw, the court sitting in bank. Attorneys David Freidenrich and Peter F. Dunne presented the side of the Buck- “Davio FRIEDENRIH - leyites and Garret W. McEnerney repre- sented Registrar Hinton directly and the Junta side of the case indirectly. Quite a crowd of politicians and others were interested listeners of the argument. Joseph Rothschild, A. T. Spotts, James H. O'Brien, W. F. Humphreys, T. Carl Bpelling, D. M. Gavigan and others of the Buckleyites helped crowd the court- room and several of the opposing faction were there. The case did not develcp the interest that it had been expected to do because the Buckleyites decided not to goatall into questions of fact, and the 15sues as to the authority of either side to represent the party and the right of the State Cen- tral Committee and che State convention to decide what organization is the regular local party were not touched. The Buckleyites decided to rest their case wholly on one question of law in- volving the construction of a portion of section 1192 of the Political Code requir- ing the Registrar to pass upon and promptly accept or refuse all certificates of nom ination filed with him. The proceeding was upon the petition for & writ of mandate, filed afew days ago, directing the Registrar to aceept and B‘m upon the official ballot the name of . A. Macdonald, nominee for Superin- tendent of Streets. Registrar Hinton re. fused to file the Buckley ticket on the ground that the Buckley organization did not uYrmnt the Democratic party, which at the last election polled more than 3 per cent of the yote cast. In “",‘.'}f this decision Registrar Hinton conside: questions of fact which dia not appear from theYace of the certificate, and he exercised a 3ndlcld function. Messrs. Freidenrich and Dunne contended that the Registrar was wholly a ministerial officer; that his objections must be lim- ited to irregularities which mightappear in the face of the document and thn%e must accept any ticket properly attested and certitied to. It was thus contended that two or more sets of candidates might have a place on the ballot under the same party denfinmnn. . Garret McEnerney soouted this conten. tion and forcibly ed that the question was decided by the highest party author-- ity in the State. The case was called et 10 A. ., when McEnerney at once read the answer to petition. The lengthy answer ayerred: . T - The Barkentine William H. Dimond, Which Artived From Honoluls Yesterday, Beating the Roderick Dhy, Alden Besse and Andrew Welch. Captain Nilson Sailed His Vessel In. That at all of the times in the petition stated the political organization known as “‘the Dem- ocratic parcy oi the City and County of San Francisco” was in fact part and parcel of a political organization and party known as “the Democratic party of the State of California,” and was not a separate or distinct organization therefrom, but was an integral part thereol. That there is not now and mever was any political organization in the City and County of San Francisco known as “the Democratic varty of the Cityand County of Sen Fran- cisco,” save and except as an_integral part of the Democratic party of the Stete of Cali- fornia. The municipal convention which nomi- nated the petitioner was called without any rigat or power whatever; but a cer- tain other convention, now in session, was the only one having any rgnt to repre- sent the Democratic party in San Fran- cisco. It was recited that at a meeting of the State Central Committee held March 14, 1896, two sets of persons claimed to be the General Committee of the party in San Francisco, and that the State Central Committee adjudged that the General Committee from which the petitioner. gained his alleged riznts was not entitled to represent the Democratic party. This judgment was ratified by the State Con- vention later. The answer ends by alleg- ing: That the effect of granting the prayer of pe- titioner herein and allowing his name to be printed on the official ballot will be to deceive and confuse the voters and to disfranchise s large proportion of them, and will amount to & itand 3o the public, Attorney Freidenrich intimated that testimony might be offered, acd asked an adjournment until 2 p. M. “If an issue of fact is raised the case cannot be heard to-day.” observea Chief Justice Beatty, and McEnerney said that if an issue of fact was raised it would re- quire several days, ? After a short discussion the side of the petitioner was granted uniil 2 ». M. to decide what course to pursue in meeting the answer. ‘When court reconvened in the afternoon Freidenrich stated that the facts stated in the answer would be formally admitted. The whole controversy, it was stated, turned on the construction of the follow- ing portion of section 1192 of the Political Code, prescribing the duties of the Regis- trar wfien a certificate of nomination is presented to him: Vheneyer any certificate of nomination is r‘:.'e':‘?fd elur flflnl to any officer suthorized to gle the same, such officer shall forthwith, upon The Attorneys Who Argued St;pmc Court Yesterday £ 7% receipt of the same and before filing, examine the same, and if there is any detect, omission or reason why the same should not be filed such officer shall then and there forthwith designate in writing the defect, omission or reason why such certificate cannot be flled and return the said certificate to the person pre- senting the same, with such written designa- tion of defect, omission or reason for not filing the same. The issue was particularly involved in the words “reason why such certificate cannot be filed.” Such reason, it was con- tended, must appear upon the face of the certificate. The respondent’s reason had alleged that the verified certificate was untrue. The law had not only not made provision for the Registrar entering into questions of fact or provided machinery by which it might ba done but had, in fact, made it impossible by requiring that he should act “‘forthwith.” Justice McFarland—What then 1s to prevent any number of factions, acting perhaps in good faith as far as they them- selves are concerned, lgom presenting and having filed their certificates? Freidenrich—I suppose it would be the duty of the officer to accept them and leave questions of fact to the courts. A number of récent decisions in Eastern States were quoted in support of the con- tention that the courts should let factions run their tickets side by side with equal favor. Political parties were voluntary associations which yoters might change and reorganize at will. The question was essentially political and not judic: This rule gave the voter fuller freedom in cast- inE bis ballot. arret McEnerney replied at length. “The only question in the case is, Is the petitioner entitied to the right to goon the ticket representing a party which it is admitted he does not represent? Isthe convention from which petitioner received his nomination an organized assemblage of delegates representing a political party which at the last election polled at least 3 —— GrrgreT™ r(%mjv‘ (. ; New Election Law Issue in the] per cent of the entire vote, ete.? No, it is an organized assemblage putting forth a false or bogus claim.” The Chief Justice intimated that some of the Justices were doubtful whether the court could go into guestions of fact. Mr. Dunne argued that the Registrar could pass under the ballotact only on formal objections, and that if it were otberwise he wonld be invested with an extnordhn:g and dangerous power not contemplated by the Legislature, and wholly foreign to bis capacity as a mere minisierial officer. It was pointed out that the ballot law makes no provision for notice or hearing in case of candidates affected by an adverse decision of the Rey- istrar; that no machinery is provided for the conduct of any inquiry by the Regis- trar, and that no time is permitted for such inquiry, inasmuch as the Registrar, on presentation ot a nomination certifi- cate, is required to decide forthwith. In other words, the Registrar is confined to what he knows officially at the time the certificate is greaenud. and such krowledge is derivable only from the face of the certificate. These views were sup- Porud by citations from English aecisions n cases of Parliamentary and municipal elections, and by American decisions in Colorado, Michigan, Nebraska and New York. Reference was made to the decision of the court of this State in the election case of 1892, where party headings were stricken from the ballot, and it was claimed that a decision allowing any faction claim- ing in good faith to represent the party to goupon the ballot would be in aid of s larger freedom of choice by the voter and & nearer approach to the-ideal Australian ballot. The court requested the attorneys to file their memoranda by Monday next, and the question as to the power of the Registrar at issue and the possibility of two or more wings of a parfy using the party name on the l{lfiein ballot were submitted to the cou CARNIVAL OF NATIONS. Continued Success Attends the Fete of the Women’s Educational and Industrial Union. A large number of ‘society people vis- ited the Carnival of Nations last night, Native Sons’ Hall, spacious though it is, being at times uncomfortably crowded. England, Germany and Denmark were the favored nations and it would be bhard to say which made the best showing. The first tableau, “ The Coronation of Queen Elizabeth,” was a marvel of spectacular magnificence, while “‘Germania and Her States” was de- servedly admired on account of the grace- ful posing and effective grouping of the participants; but the “Danmish Country Dance” seemed to please everybody by reason of its being so faithful and charm- ing a picture of viliage zayety. The Sacred Heart College orchestra of fifty pieces provided the music for the evening, and gained new laurels for its masterly rendering of the classic pro- gramme. The ‘‘Tannhauser’” overture, Hande!'s largo and Tittl’s serenade were among the best numbers, In the reception parlor Mme. Roeckel and a few musical friends gave a vocal treat which was much aporeciated, among the singers being Mrs. H. Lewis, Miss Jenfiie Jonansen, Miss Tillie Miley, Miss Emilie Schneider, Miss Adela Galvez, Miss Annette Miley, Mme. P. Reiter, Edward Lotz and Oscar Frank. Mume. Sorbier and the other members and friends of the Women’s Educational end Industrial Union are delighted at the success which the carnival has achieved, the receipts up to date far exceeding their most rosy expectations, SUFFRAGE WORKERS. Sending in Glowing Reports of Sym- pathy and Success in All Towns Thus Far Visited. Reports from outside workers in the woman suffrage campaign are most en- couraging. In a letter from Southern Osalifornia Miss Harriet May Mills writes that the prevailing sentiment in the many towns which she visited is most friendly to the cause, and does not hesitate to say that if it is an index to the general feeling in the State the woman suffrage amendment to the constitution will pass by a large ma- jority. From Los Angeles and other centers of work come reports of similar tenor. Some of the workers travel from twenty to forty miles daily in stages and private vehicles, speaking wherever they can find an audi- ence, however small. San Diego and Fresno clamor for more speakers, and the head center in this City is hara poshed in order to meet even a part of the demands which come in day after da; ————— Ingpecting New Distilleries.
