It was the consensus of th='opinion of the committeemen and . Visitors- alike that Mr. Watt's argument and showtg of facts were unanswerable, and that the convention represented b him was the regular Republican Muni- cipal Convention of San Francisco. ¥ o FELT.

T am notseeking any office and don’t want ahy office. Itis very.annoyiug to have peopie come up to I, of course, thanked them for their action, but 1 felt more like kicking them. It is true that I'have supervised this ward as well as the Supervisors who are paid for the job, but that cuts no figure.” 5 B. E. Henricksen moved that a commit- tee of thfee be appointed to wait upon the Markgi-street Railway Company and ask them to remove all superfiuous rails and slots on Btanyan and Osk streets, The chairman stated that it has comne to his knowledge thatthe Market-street Rail- way Company was opposed to the removal of these_exira arails and siots, for the rea- -#on that'it contemplated- their use as con- . duits in the future construction of electric lines in place of the present cable-roads. Chairman Salfield vacated the chair and presented a resolution sta'ing that it was the sense of the club that the ordi- nance giving .the Park Commi ners the right' to grade streets abutting the park and to fence in the park to the outer line of the sidewalks of the streets bounding the park be“repealed. After considerable o debate the resoiution was adopted. A. J. Fritz moved that the sireet com- mittee of the club take the necessary ac- tion to provide for the cleaning of Clayton street between Waller and Haight. The motion was adopted. Rudolph cMoir moved that the street committee be instructed to obtain three ‘, entrances {0 the Panhandle, on each side of it, and tae imotion was unanimously carried, - The street committee was also in- structed to procure the removal of the fence surrohnding the Panhandle and the e?etion of a Jow cement coping in 1its ace. 3 Chairman Salfield stated that a branch postoffice had been partly promised by the Postoffice authorities next year. Just before the meeu’ns adjourned Chairman Salfield announced the ioliow- ing committee to wait on the Market- street Railway Company relative to the extra rails on Stanyan and Oak streets: A J. McFarland, N. M, Lund and b. C. Henricksen. In the notices sent out to members of the club it was announced that a discus- sion of municipal candidates would take place last nigbt, but Chairman BSalfield explained that inasmuch as all the con. ventions had not yet made their nomina- tions such a debate would be premature, He snggested to postpone 1t until the next 1ueeting of the club and his suggestion was adopted. BRVAN'S FLOW (F SILVERY WORDS Speaks on the Threadbare Theme During a Trip to Gotham. AFTER ELUSIVE VOTES. Saj’é He Must Reach the People Because His Utterances Are Not All Recorded. ADMITS HE MAY BE MISTAKEN Endle‘ss Orations by the Worried, Wandering Ycuth of the Shallow §: Piatte Region. JERSEY CITY, N. J., Sept. 29.—In his trip through to New York this afternoon Mr. Bryan made a brief speech at the Academy of Music here and a briefer one to the crowd outside the building. In the course of his speech he said: One of the reasons why in this campaign I have departed somewhat from precedent and bave gone over the countty myself is because it has enabled me to reach the people them- sefves: whereas if we had more daily papers we could reach the people through them. If my going around Tesults to my disaavantage it is better for the people to find out before election than aiter. The trouble is, our op- ponents are all the time talking about main- taining the parity between two metals and neglecting the fact that under the gola standard we have failed to maintain & parily petween a doliar and property. They entirgly 1gnore the effect of legislation when we desire legislation, although they are very conscious of the potency of legislation when they use it on their side. Ii in 1873 they had proposed a law such as was passed in that yedr, closing the mints to the free coinage of siiver, and,we had said to them: “Why, law ¢an do nothing on this subject, commerce regulates the values of these things,” what would they have said? They would not have been content to let commerce regulate them. Then they wanted the -law 10 step in and strike down one of the money metals and give 10 gold the monopoly of mint priviieges, and when they have done that they have blos- somed'out into believers of non-interference on the part of the Government. [Applause.] If they tell you law can do nothing, that com- merce is everything, reming them of the iaw of 1884, The advocates of the gold standard will teil you that from the beginning of our financial history down to 1834, gola wasata premium and siiver the money in common use ambng the people. They will teil you that after 1834 silver wa. at a premium and gold was the money in cir- culation among the people. What changed the habit of our people and made them stop using silver and commence using gold? Was it commerce? It wasa little law of but a few words that changed the ratio irom 15 to 1 to 16 10 1, and by so doing gave the advantage to silver. [Applause ] That change pui silver at a premium be- cause there was a demand for silver in France 81 & more favorabie ratio than ours; and therefore our siiver either went to France, where it could be coined at the ratio of 1534 to 1, or if it sitayed here it stayed at its Com- modity value. When these people” tell you commerce is above law you point to that little law that changed thé customs of the peopie and money in.use among them in & night. [Applause.] You say law canuot affect values. Suppose & pubiic building is to be located in this town, why is it every body wants the building iocatea near. his land? Beceuse it raises the value of his iand. A nmew harbor, or the deepening of a river of the opening of & port brings busi- ness to that locality, and that new business brought there by lew creates a new demand for I»mFeny and that property rises by aet of Jegislation. I_have told you this because I want you to understand when we s peak of the power of law to affect the value of silver we are simply applying to silver the same prinei- ples which we recognize will apply to every- thing else. Some people think siivercan be produced without limit. I know one way 10 curea man of that idea. Let him go out and try to find the silver mines and prove by his own experience how eusy it is o iuerease the supp:y of silver. [Applause.] 1118 true of silver as or gold—that many seek and few find. They taik about the cost of production in silver. - There is No basis upon which _you can caiculate the cost of produc- tion. No two nrines in the United States pro- duce silver aL exaclly the sime price per ounce,and no one mine produces silver st exactly the same price per ounce year after year in succession. Mining is gambling, and the man who geis the winniug paddles makes money; but a great many buy paddies and never make anything. . You think itisso easy to find silver. He. member the people of the world have searched for it since history began, and yet if ull the siiver now existing in the form of coin were melied down 1nto one great lump it has beeu estimated thatlump would oniy be sixty-six feet each way. That is thatgreat overwhelm- ing product of silver that people are afraid will run in upon us and -overwhelm us if we open our wints 1o the free coinage of silver. Our opponents tell us we are trying tochange the yardstick. We iell them that they have been changing the bushel measure and are com ng tarmers 10 put two bLushels of products into one bushel. Instead of shorten- ing the bours of toil in « duy they are to shorten the number of days & man w d work in 4 week or a year. Asthe gold stand- erd goes on doing its deadly work it simply means there will be more idleness and more suffering. We can say of the gold standard that all its ways of wretchedness and all of its paths are ruin to the masses of the people, [AFplsule,] There is no danger of foreign coin coming in here and overwhelming us, be- cause it is worth more at home. There is no danger of ull the annual product coming 1o us, because all the other nations that use silver e their shares. The arts mgust have We simply have to use for what nations and thé arts do not consume. Instead of haying too much 1 am airaid we will have too litile money taen. In the development of the resources of this Couniry we caunot use more money than can be utilized by & similar number of people in &ny other part of the world. But instead of Laying an increased amount of money (o carry on an increased business and to give us increased development, We have a decreasing currency and the Repubiican party offers no remedy for the situation. [Appliuse.] We have in circulation among the people 150, 000,000 less this year than we hud Lwo years ago. And yet the Republican party proposes o maintain our present financial systeus, no matter what may come, until foreign nations getso tired of it that they will heip us to get rid of it. [Great eppiause: At tbe conclusion of his. address Mr. Bryan went to the balcony in front of the hall and addressed the crowd briefly. Pats PR A IN THE TAMMANY WIGWAM. Bryan Talks About Silver to a B Cyowd at Newo York. ~ NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 20.—It has been mauy a decade since the historical Tammany Wigwam has held snch a com- pact mass of humanity as that assembled there. to-night to hear W. J. Bryan and other speakers. Although 8 o'clock was the hour set for the proceedings to bevin, three hours earlier the doors of the meet- ing place were besieged by a clamorous throng. It kept growing in numbers until Bo'clock, when the doors were thrown open. There were then enough people assembled in the vicinity of Tammany to fill the wigwam twice over. There is but one gallery in the hall, and in a very short space of time this was jammed. The seats had been removed from the orchestra floor for the purpose of economizing space and the crowd was compelled to stand th: the meeting. = roREh 1t was one solid mass, enthusiastic from the start and good-natured, despite the uncomfortable environments, The hall bad been but sparsely decorated with flags and banners. Over the platform were the portraits of Bryan and Sewall, In the gallery was stationed a brass band, and the patriotic tunes rendered aroused the exuberance of the crowd. A liberal sup- ply of small American flags had been passed around and these were kept con- tinuously waving by the enthusiastic shouters. Tammany was determined that every word uttered by Mr. Bryan should be heard by those in the hall, and with this end in view had erected a sounding-board, in the shape of a canopy, direcily over the speaker’s position on the platform, the candidate standing under it while speaking. The meeting was called to order by John W. Keller, the presiding officer of the evening, at 7:45 o’clock. At that hour there were over 6000 persons congregated in the ball. Resolutions were read and adopted in- dorsing the plaiform adopted at the Na- tional convention held in Chicago and the State Democratic Convention at Buffalo, and the candidates named on those occas sions. Immediately after the adoption of the resolutions Mr. Bryan, accompanied by Mr. Sewall, Senator Thomas F. Grady, Senator Dnl’y of New Jersey and George Fred Williams of Massachusetts, appeared on the platform. A great outburst of ap- plause and cheering greeted Mr. Bryan’s appearance. The moment the audience caught sight of him, hats, handkerchiefs and American flags went up in all parts of the hall. Cheer after cheer rent the air, The cheering and applause continued for eight minutes, and at the conclusion Mr. Bryan was introduced by the chairman. After thanking Tammany, Mr. Bryan re- peated his silver argument, with a few va- riations. DT ARE PROF¥ESSOKS COERCED?Y Foss of Stanford Writes Some Demo- cratic Campaign Material. CHICAGO, ILL., Sept. 29.—Professor E. A. Ross of Leland Stantord University, Cal,, has written a letter charging that college professors are coerced 1nto talking for the gold standard. The letier was to- day given out at Democratic headquar- ters: STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal., Sept. 23,1896. Hon. Jomes D. Richardson, Chief National Democratic Literary Bureau, Chicago—DEAR SIR: You inquire if I think there is perfect freedom of expression among college professors throughout the country on the money ques- tion. I would say that Idon’t think there is. Tdon’t know there are many who wish to champion National bimetallism, but I am very sure that if there were such they would in many cases be compelled to surrender their present ive 1hood in order to do so. My basis for this belief is experience in va- rious Eastern institutions; the attitude of boards of trustees regarding teaching on.sub- | jects much less important than the money question, and knowledge ot the notions boards of trustees, comprised of wealthy individuals, entertain regarding their supervision of economic teaching., Dennitizing the second f»OIn!, 1 would mention the experience of Pro- lessor H. C, Adams in Cornell University, Pro- fessor Ely in Johns Hopkins University, Pro- jessor Commons in Indinna University and in Byracuse University, Professor Bemisin Chi- cago University an institutions. Being on the coast, quite out of touch with my professional brethren, I am not able to cite very many definite cases of coercion on the present question. I will mention, how- ever, the foilowing: Professor J.S. Clark of Columbia told a friend of mine that he be- lieved Professor Andrews must certainly be forced out of the presidency at Brown Univer- sity. At the meeting of the American Eco- noinic Association last winter I was told that one Professor Duvray of Pennsylvania had strong leanings toward free silver and thathis colleagues had to labor hard to hold him back. Later I asked a gentieman connected with that institution what would happen if the pro- fessor should declare for free silver. His answer was immediately, *He wonid lose his position.”” The gentieman is Mr.C. W. Mac- farland, who is & writer on economic <ubjects and is not a free silver man. I would urge that you write to him 1f possible. Further- more, obtain an interview with Professor E. W. Bemis, who is at present in Chicago and who has some very interesting facts on the subject. Very truly yours, A. Ross, DEAD AGAINST FUSION. Zom Watson Prevents the Working of the Scheme in Indiana. INDIANAPOLIS, Isp, Bept. 29, — Thomas E. Watson, Populist candidate for Vice-President, putan end to the In- diana fusion scheme to-day. While the committees of the two organizations were in session at the Grand Hotel the follow- ing telezram was received in reply to a telegram sent Watson earlier in the day: ‘THOMPSON, Ga., Sept. 29, Charles Matthews, Indianapolis: 1 telegraphed Rankin two days ago correcting report on principal points. I am dead sgainst fusion with Sewall electors and 1 told Rankin so. Where I submit 10 fusion I do under protest. THOMAS E. WATSON. Mr. Matthews held this telegram until the Populist committee returned to the English Hotel from their session with the silver Democratic campaign committee. At this session nothing definite had been determined. The best that the Populist committee would offer was a fusion with tive Populists and ten Demaocratic electors, declaring that it had no authority to withdraw the Populist State ticket or any Populist nominees for Congress. The tele- gram of Watson, when shown to the com- mitiee, settled all possibility of any further efforts in the direction of fusion, iy Palmer and Buckner’s Tour, CHICAGO, ILL., Sept. 20.—The National Committee is planning a tour for Paimer and Buckner through the Northwest, It is proposed to sehd the candidates through a portion of Michigan, across Wisconsin into Minnesota and thence through Iowa, a portion of Kansas, Missouri and Obio, A special train will be chartered for the purpose, and will probably leave Chicago either on the nizht of October 9 or early on October 10.

BOARDING OF NIAGARA Peculiar Action of the Commit tee Without Consulting the Owaner, TANKS NOT USED FOR BALLAST, One Litlle Act That May Endapger International Contests in the Futore. LONDON, Exa., Sept. 20.—Prior to leav- ing for New York, Howard Gould, owner of the yucht Niagara, under date of Sep- tember 16, has addressed an extended let- ter to the council of the Yacht Racing As- sociation, reviewing the action taken by it anent the Niagara’s water-tanks just after the race of the Royal Thames Club, May 22. Mr. Gould specifies the size of the tanks, quotes Dixon Kemp’s letter for the asso- ciation, officially disclaiming that the committee believed there was any truth to the charge that the tanks were used for shifting bailast, but requesting change in piping, -miI says this communication was the first notice he had from the association of “this extraordinary action on their part.” Mr. Gould’s letter of June 20, in reply thereto, is quoted emphatically denying that the tanks were so used, and Mr. Gould winds up his farewell in forceful style, in which are the following words? “Had I been communicated with prior to this di:courteous and unusual visit, I would gladly have established the follow- ing facts: “First, thatthe Niagara was measured with her water-tanks empty; second, that the water in the tanks had never been used and was not used in any instance as shifting ballast; and thirdly, that it was impracticable to make alvantageous the tanks for such a purpose had I desired to | do so. “I am surprised that I never received any explanation of the course pursued in boarding”the yacht without communicat- ing with me, although I characterized such action as discourteous at the time. “In the absence of such explanation or disavowal on the part of the Yacht Racing Association, I consider the course pursued not only discourteous, but personally of- fensive and essentially destructive of the amicable relations which lie at the very foundation of the existence of interna- tional contests of this character.” S S WITH HOUNDS AMND HAKES.

CHICAGO, ILv., Sept. 29.—Chicago was to-night drenched with rain, which began falling early in the afternoon, and at mianight continued to fall with a per- sistency that promises to cause much in- convenience to electric communieation with outside cities. At the Easta great storm is reported over a territory extending from Pittsburg to Washington and New York. The West- ern Union Telegraph Company reports the loss of many wires east and south and in consequence telegraphic business was greatly hampered and delayed, if not en- tirely abandoned in some districts.

East of the mountains the rain is reported to have been accompanied by high wind, to which the prostration of telegraph lines is probably due. In the absence of telegraph communication it is almost impossible to obtain any informa- tion in regnd to the damage done by the storm. Bevere floods are reported along the southern border of this State and be- tween Cumberland, Md., and Grafton, W, Va., where bridges were reported to have been washed away, but no particulars are obtainable, Sept. 20.—A heavy EVERETT, Pa., flood followed the steady downpour to- night and the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road bridge was washed away.

The water rushed down a narrow gap and rose at an alarming rate, Everett is directly east of Bedford, the county seat of Bedford County. All moun- tain streams are raging torrents. Their narrow passes are choking the floods. The loss to farmers and in villages along the lower lands will be heavy. BALIIMORE, Mbp., Sept. 29.—A severe southeasc hurricane struck this city at 11 o’clock to-night. Houses were nnroofed, wires prostrated, windows smashed and uifinbanrdu blown from their fastenings. The high wind forced the water in the arbor up into the bed of the streets, and 'almost the enlire northern water front is submerged. Several schooners that were tied up at Pratt-street wharf broke from their moorings and are resting in Pratt street. The lower floors of many warehouses are flooded. The storm, cccompanied by a heavy downpour of rain, arrived at the time of closing of the theaters, Several streetear lines were rendered useless and many belated passengers were drenched while seeking places of shelter or trans- erring to the more fortunate car lines. The Western Union Telegraph Company reports at midnight that their wires are down in all directions. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 29.—A furious wind, accompanied by heavy rain, swept this city to-night, and it is likely to con- tinue with unabated force for some hours to-morrow. The storm was threatening all day to-day, but the first intimation that a hurricane was approaching came in the shape of a dispatch from the Wash- ington Weather Bureau in the afternoon to local Forecaster Dunn, informing him to hoist storm signals on-the weather bureau tower and warn shipping that it ‘would be dangerous to leave port. Incoming vessels continue to bring re- ports of storms at sea. All that arrived to-day experienced gales, while several suffered damage. Tne British steamer Alodene, from Hamburg, ran into a strong weslerlg gale September 23 and was boarded by a huge sea, which swept the whole length of the vesse] It smashed the jolly-bou& badly dam- aged the lifeboat, shattered the engine- room skylight, broke the ventilators, flooded the galleys and did minor damage about the decks. The Ltalian bark Harrington on Septem- ber 23in tue Guif stream was struck by a galé from the north-northeast which lasted fourteen nours. Shelost some sails and had others split. The British schooner Arthur M. Gibson arrived via Hell Gate. She reported losing her foretopmast during a hea north- northwest wind off Prince Edward Island. THE STRIE OF THE TRMIN-CISPATCHERS Continved from First Page. like this is done it seems likely the strike will prove a failure. The men are badly organized and have little money. ° . OTTAWA, Oxt., Sept. 29.—In conse- quence of the Canagian Pacific Railway sirike freight trains on that road are stopped all along the Ottawa and Chalk River divisions. Passenger trains are mov- ing, except the Winnipeg and Soo express. Nothing definite can be learned regarding the whereabouts of these trains. WINNIPEG, Max., Sept. 29.—Although there is a general strike of operatorsat stations on the Canadian Pacific Railway, these is little if any trouble here. All pas- senger trains were running as usual to- day, and the oflicials are taking all steps necessary to fill the piaces of the men who have gone out. . . : 7 SAULT STE. MARIE, Micx., Sept. 20.— Business cn the “Soo” and the Canadian Pacific railroads is at a standstill. The strike of the Canadian Pacific telegraph operators has raised havoc with ali the trains on the Canadian Pacihc and the |- passenger service on the “Soo” line. The eastbound limited, which arrived at 10 o’clock this morning from Minne- apolis with 100 through passengers, is still here, and may go East by way of Detroit. The Minneapolis limited, due here at 4 o’clock this afternoon, has not been heard from since last night. PEORIA, IiL., Sept. 20.—At the head. quarters of the Order of Railway Teleg- raphers in this city it isstatea that the primary cause of the strike on the Canadian Pacificis- that the officiais un- dertook to force the train-dispatchers to withdraw from the organizatifn, threaten- ing discharge. This action was taken three months ago. 3 No withdrawals have taken place nor have any discharges resulted., Efforts bave been making meanwhile to adjust the matter. 1Itisdenied at headquarters that the order had not complied with the rule of the company requiring com- plaints to be made to division head- quarters. It is stated that the grievance was first presented to the division super- intendent and that it will be taken up to Bir Williamn Van Horn and possibly to the directors, if. such action becomes neces- sary. BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 29.—The Cana- dian Pacific Railway Company hired seven men in this city to-day to take the places of the men who have gone on strike. The new hands left this evening and will likely go to work to-morrow. e “GARFIELD IS DEA That Was the Signal for the Telegraphers to Quit Work. VANCOOVER, B. C., Sept. 29.—The strike of the railroad operators of the Canadian Pacific railway was a’ complete surprise to the officials of the Pacific divis- jon. The signal agreed upon-was “Gar- field is dead,” and on its receipt-all opera- tors on the division excepting twd, one a dispatcher, went out, General .Supérin- tendent Abbott states he was not aware that any cause for complaint existed on his division, and that the first intimation he had was a telegram from Assistant General Manager Tait, Montreal, stating that a committee, claiming to represent the operators of the éntire system, wished to consult the management on certain grievances and present a schedule for tuture observation. The general manager referred the committee to the company’s rule which provides that all grievances on the part of employes must first be brought to the attention of divisional officials. This not having heen done the manage- ment declined to hear the commiitee. It is, however, asserted by the.operators that the men on the Western division.did go to their divisional officers firdt and were de- nied a hearing, and then went to Mon- treal, where they "were similarly treated. At Montreal they were tola they were re- fused a bearing there becapse ‘they had not laid the matter before the officers of their division. This, they explained, was impossible because the divisional officers would not listen to them. 2 Thus the matierstands and oniy inves- tigation can show which side is right. On learning last evening that a strike was contemplated, General -Superintendent Abbott issued the following circular to the operators on his division: . “Reports circulated by a committee of ‘operators at Montreal intimate a possible strike. Every movemeént of the committee there has been ill-advised -and unwar. ranted. Inasmuch as I have not -had placed before me any grievances, I shall hear them through the proper channel, as provided for in the rules and regulations,” Irresponsible stories were started, to-day to the effect that men were being sent ont to watch stations along the line, for fear of their being set on fire, but such stories were utterly groundless. The manage- ment has not the slightest apprehension of anything of the kind occurring. To- day’s eastbound train was dispatched on time, and unless complications arise the NEW TO-DA "APENTA" THE BEST NATURALTAPERIENT WATER| Bottled at the UJ HUNYADI springs, Buda Pest, Hungary, Under the absolute control of the Royal Hungarian Chemical Instituts (Ministry of Agriculture), Buda Pest. #We know of no Spring which shows so great richness in Mineral Saits, or .m eombines such advantages, as this water. . ** This Water is richer in Mineral Salts than all Continental Bitter Waters, and its efficacy is o great that even the smallest dose secures the best results,” “ Professor Dr. R.

Operators Complain of Some Very Un< derhand Treatment, SEATTLE, Wasm., Sept. 29. — Local telegraphers who have in times past been employed along the line of that railway think the Canadian Pacific telegraphers’ strike is ligble to be far-reaching, po§snbly resulting in a sympathetic strike in the United States. They say the discontent of the Canadian Pacific telegraphers dates as far back as six years, so that the recent strike has been inaugurated with speeisl reference to the impending Presidential election in this courntry. It is. charged that messages to Chief Pierson are being ‘‘killed” or suppressed, and -that but for that the strike would be miore general along the Canadian Pacific than is re- ported to-day. Members of the commit- tee, it is also asserted, appointed by tele- graph operators to wait upon ‘Eastern managers of the road and ask for a redress of grievances, were responded-to by being dismissed irom the service, this act, it is alleged, having precipitated the strike. Rqbert. Kerr, trafiic manager of the Canadian Pacific, telegraphed Local Agent McGinnis to-aay that he did nct believe the strike would seriously interfere with Irelg‘ht operations of the road. —_— Reo, J.
