THE SAN FRANCISCO CA;iL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER ‘.:.I,, 1896. County of San Francisco respectfully report to] you as follows: Thet we met this day &t the hour of 10 o'clock, sll of the State Central Committee members of this sub-committee being present with the exception of Hon. Allen B. Lemmon. In accordance with your request of ypsterdsy & number of business men of San ancisco were also present. James Alve Watt®was present on behalf of one of the contesting factions and A. Ruef represented the other faction. Both gentle- men addressed your committee and the com- mittee of business men. The following resolution was moved, Sec- onded and carried: The contestants having appeared before your committee, and having been unable to agree upon a basis of compromise, your com- mittee therefore reports that it has failed to resch any determination with reference to any proposition to harmonize. Respectfully submitted, IrVING B. DUDLEY, Chairman of the Sub-Committee. Resolved, That the State Central Committee desires to call the atiention of the people of Californis, and especially of the peopleoi San Francisco, 10 & combination on the part of in- fluential powers in the State of California with the Populists and the Democrats to defeat the Republican legislative ticket and to elect a fusion ticket, so-called, for the purpose of electing a Populist to the Senate of the United States in 1897 and a Democrat in 1899, That this combination of infiuences are and have been to work is too apparent to this commit- tee to go unheeded, and the people of the State ot California, ana especially of San Franciszo, are called upon in such a way as they may determine to thwart the designs of those cor- porate influences and combinations. That the committee deems this matter of vital im- portance for the reason that the po- itical complexion of the United States Senat: may depend upon the result 1n California, and s Republican Senate of the United States is necessary at this period of our history to secure the enactment of the protec- tive tariff measure upon which this coun- try depends for its future welfare. This committee calls the attention of all the voters to the Presidential ticket, and asks them in the conflict which may be waged be- tween local factions to allow their patriotism to rise above party concerns in the effort to secure the election of McKinley and Hobart for President and Vice-President of the United States. That the following resolutions are recom- mendea for adoption by the State Central Committee: Resolved, That the disinterested, unbiased and able services of Major Frank McLaughlin, chairman of this committee, in the endeavor to harmonize the conflicting local differences in San Franecisco are hereby indorsed, and that this committee commends his untiring and faithful efforts in that behalf, recoenizing that he has never exceeded the line of disin- terested duty, but that he has in all particu- lars fulfilled and distharged his whole auty to the committee and the party and to the satisfaction of the contestants themselves. Then James W. Rea of San Jose submii- ted the following: RESOLVED, That it is the sense of the Republican State Central Committee of the State of California that the Kepub- lican County Committee of the City and County Francisco, of which Charles Mauwaring Esq. is chairman, and John Jackson Esq. is secretary, is the regular and only accredited Re- publican County Committee of the City and County of San Francisco, and that the municipal, judicial and legislative Republican convention which met in the Auditorium, and of which the Hon Thomas Riordan was chairman and W. H. Rickard was secretary, was the reg- ular Republican convention of the City and County of San Francisco. Mr. Rea, who is a prominent member of the State Central Committee and of the executive committee thereof. made an earnest and powerful speech in support ot his resolutioh. He began by some re- marks in favor of party organization, and declared that it was essential to party per- petuity and party success. ‘He counseled Mr. Ruef and those for whom he assumed 10 sveak, to acquiesce in the decision of Registrar Hinton and cease from further attacks upon what had been, by that im- partial officer, declared to be the regular Republican ticket, and what he had put upon the official ballot as such. The speaker deprecated any and all efforts to carry party matters outside oi and beyond the party councils, and he de- clared that any appeal to the courts from the decision of an impartial committee made up of impartizl Republicans drawn from every county in the State was un- Republican, and instead of bringing about harmony was calculated only to prolong and exaggerate the difficulties which the committee was organized and empowered to settle. He urged both the contending parties, no matter what mignt be the decision of the committee, to cheerfully acquiesce. Then he proceeded to inquire into the egality of the committee which Mr. Watt represented, and saia: “This committee is the one which has been recognized in San Francisco by the Republicans and in the State convention, It is common knowledge to every Repub! can that this committee, of which Mr. Manwairing is chairman, is the committee that has had charge of the affairs of the Republican party in San Francisco for the last two years—the committee that has kept the party organized which called primaries and which sent delegates to the last State convention, wWhich delegates were recognized and seated in that con- vention as having been legally elected. I say everybody knows that this com- mittee, which in the usual and regular manner called into existence the conven- tion which Jately met in the Auditorium in this City and put before the people a full Republican ticket—the ticket that was filed with Registrar Hinton, a gentleman who enjoys & reputation for honesty and impartiality—everybody knows that this is the legal committee and the legal con- vention, and that it has been recognized as the legal Republican ticket, of this City. +I therefore have introduced this resolu- tion, I know that it is right and I am never afraid to vote or voice my convie- of San representing the Republican party of this State, stand by the regular legal organiza- tion in San Francisco. We need more men like John D. Spreckels to take an_in- terest in public affairs, and if Mr. Ruef and those whom he represents are loyal and true Republicans they will submit to the decision of this committee, whatever it may be.” E. A. von Schmidt of Alameda made an earnest speech counselling harmony. He urged upon all parties represented to sub- mit to the decision of the State commitiee. He also callea’ attention to the tact that the organization that James Alva Watt represented had loyally acquiesced in the decision of the National Conimittee and was supporting Thomas B. Q'Brien for Congressman in the Fourth District. He urged also upon Mr. Ruef that whatever the decision of the committee might be he and his friends shouid submit to itand stop the contest at once. That was the duty of all Republicans, he said. They should not carry their quarrels beyond the party counciis. It would be eratifying to all Republicans to know that both parties to the controversy assured the committee that the cootest was purely a local one, and that each side should vie with each other in supporting the National ticket. Dudley of San Diego presented the sub- stitute which appears at the head of this article, and the substitute was adopted with but one dissenting vote, that of Mr. Reuf. It may be seen that it expresses the same sentiment as that in Mr. Rea’s resolution, but in different words. b BEADY NDORSEMENT, “The Call's” Manly and Inde- pendent Stand for the Party Heartily Commended. Rousing Meetiong of the Thirty-Sev- enth District Repub’ican Ciub. There was an overflow meeting of the Republicans of the Thirty-seventh As- sembly-District heid at 1940 Market street last night. In ealling the meeting to order Chair- man McCarthy congratulated the Repub- lican party for the manly and independ- ent stand it had taken during the trying ordeal through which its leaders and managers had gone through, and in tbis connection, he said, too much praise could not be given to THE CALn for the stand it had taken to keep the party in- Tact. No sooner had the name of THE CALL been mentioned than a sudden and spon- taneous burst of applause came from every quarter of the hall.” An impetuous cuorus of voices moved & vote of thanks to that paper and its proprietor, C. M. Shortridge. This was carried with a whoop that made the ¢-iling ring. George W. Rohe, a brilliant young ora- tor, addressed the club at considerable length, reviewing the past history of the Republican party. James Kindney followed with a long address on the issues of the campaign. The arrival of E. L. Wolfe, the_nominee for State Senator, and W. E. Dean, the nominee for Auditor, sent the club into an uproar of cheering and waving of hats. A motion was made and carried indors- ing these two gentlemen for the offices for which they have been nominated, as also that of Edward Elgeltinger, the nominee for Supervisor of _the Twelith Ward, Meesrs. Wolf and Dean both addressed the club. — e -—— WOMEN REPUBLICANS. Interesting Address Dslivered by Mrs. Addle M. Billings of Benicla. The Woman’s Republican State Central Club met last night in Justice Groezinger’s courtroom, Mrs. Addie L. Bailon in the chair. Mrs. Addie M. Billings of Benicia was present and deliversd an interesting ad- dresson political issues. Addresses were also delivered by J. Burke of the Conti- nental League, Mrs. Welis and Mrs. Bailey of Oakland and Mre. Sarah Ted- tord. A recitation by Miss Wilson enliv- ened the proceedings. DEATH D UTTER AU [ Continved from First Page. injured by a falling roof in Southville, died to-day. Riley Williams (colored), crushed under a roof, died to-night. The injured have all been removed to the hospitals or their homes, Three are fatally injured and will die. The fatali- ties are likely to be much greater when reports have been received from the sur- rounding country. The damage to shipping is heavy. The steamer Governor Safford, which left Beaufort, 8. C., yesterday morning, went ashore on Daufuskie Island and is lying one hundred yards, high and dry, inland. The steamer Siar went. to her assistance this morning, but has not yet returned. Much anxiety is felt for the tug Cynthia, which left here before the storm for Bruns- wick. The barks Cuba and Roenfius, which drifted from their moorings and went ashore, it is believed, may be saved. The schooners, Island City and D. B. Metealf, which went ashore on their way to sea, are not damaged. The bark Kyle- more broke away from her anchorage at Quarantine and is lying againsta training tions. “‘Something bas been said sbout John D. Spreckels. Who is Jokn D. Spreckels? I know and you know, and every man in California knows that there is not a truer or more loyal Republican or a manlier or more honest man in this State than he. [Applause.] He has done much for the Republican party, and he will do more for 1t, and we should sustain and encour- age him. He stands for Republican or- ganization and seeks only the success of the Republican party. “The name of his honored father, Claus Spreckels, which is on the electoral ticket, 18 worth hundreds of votes for us in Santa Clara County. Jobn D. Spreckels is an honest man, a true and unselfish Re- publican, and he should be sustained, and he is sustained, by the people and the Re- publicans of California. “Wkho is opposing him?

That is the paper that is tryiag to defeat the purpose of our councils axd to :divide and defeat the Republican party, »Do you want to aid this blackmailing sheet that is lying about snd ridiculing Republicans in this Btate and er€lurage itin its attempt to foist Martin Xa!ly on to E the Republican party in San Trancisco to | Tties defeat our ticket? No, gentlemen; lot us, wall half a mile away. The loss of small sailing vessels is heavy. Upward of twenty are reported ashore in the marshes and creeks and on the beach at the mouth of the river. Most of these were coasting vessels plying between Savannah and neighboring ports. The full extent of the damage and loss of life will not be known for several days. The center of the storm passed east of Savannah #nd struck inland north of here. The damage on the Bouth Carolina coast is beiieved to be heavy, but so far little loss of life is reported. The rice planta- tions on the Carolinaside of the Savannah River and along the river west of here suffered heavily. The rice in the fields was little injured, being covered with water, but the store- houses and mills are wrecked and the rice stored is a total loss, The plantations on the Ogeechee and Altamahama rivers on the Georgia side also were heavily damaged. The damage in the city will probably exceed $1,000,000. Hardly a building es- caped, and thousands of houses are roof- less. The work of clearing away the wreckage of the street went on to-day, and most of the streets are now passable. The parks are a pitiable sights. Tall trees, torn up by their roots or broken in two, lie in swaths across shrubbery and flowers, The ruln is compi¥te, The femong BonaVenture Cexetery, foar annah, on the Thunder- e of ruin. There, and | boit x \ in picturesque Laurel Grove Cemetery, monuments and gravestones -are over- turned, and in some instances the vaalis are broken in. At the suburban villages and resorts summer residences were blown away and pleasure steamers and yachts were driven ashore, in some instances high and dry on the low bluifs. The historic Bethesda Orphan Home, founded by George Whitefield a century and a half ago, seyen miles 1 the country from Savannah, was heavily damaged, but no loss of life occurred. Three streetcar lines started operations at noon to-day. The others are still tied up, and the cars are standing on tracks atl over the city. The loss to the electric lines is estimated at $100,000. The electric light, telephone and police and fire alarm systems are all down. The Western Union Teleg-aph Company has forces of men all along its lines. The damage to ihe railroads will foot up over $250,000. The wreckage of the Plant system passenger depot and the Georgia and Alabama Railroad freight warehouses bas been pertially cleared awa nd the tracks are passabie and trains are running on time. Lighthouse-keeper Evans reached the city on a boat late this afternoon with the first news from Tybee Island at the mouth of the Savannah River. The storm there was severe, Allor the hotels are damaged, and the pavilions of the Hotel Tybee and South End Hotel, both large structures, ‘were carried away. The Chattanoochse clubhouse, at the south end of the beach, was unroofed. The cottages fronting the beach for a dis- tance of four miles are all damaged. The sea was driven over the low islands between Tybee and the city, and it is be- lieved the Tybee railroad is washed away for a distance of several miles. The road was constructed on the marsh and the loss will be heavy. There is believed to have been no loss of life on Tybee. A special to the Morning News from Burroughs (Ga.) says: The storm here yesterday started at 10 o'clock and lasted until 11:15 o'clock. ‘Lrees were blown in the woods and the roads. About fifteen hquses in different places were blowu down. All the stacks in the rice fields are blown down. The new Ogeechee Baptist church at Shiloh and the new Episco- palian church are blown to the ground. Three lives were lost and several persons crippled. The loss is estimated at$6000. Every person had to leave his house and go out into the open field to save his life. Nearly every telegraph wire out of Savannah is prostrated. Storm news was sent this morning to the News from many points in Georgia and Florida by mail. The storm appears to have struck land 5t Tampa and swept northward to Savan- neh, thence jumping on the north. The velocity of the wind was unusually high even for a tornado, but itsduration at each place was short—aboutan hour, Had the storm been long continued everything in its path would have bsen leveled and the loes of life must of necessity have been heavy. Brunswick was wrecked by the hurri- cane. The property loss is estimated at between $350,000 and $500,000. The loss of lifs is four so far as known. The victims are all colored. R HAVOC AT WAMHINGTON, Trees Uprooted and Koofs Tornm From Hundreds of Buildings. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 30.—The ‘West Indian tornado which struck Wash- ington between 11 p. M. and midnight last night respected neither official nor diplo- matic properties. It ripped oft some of the coping of the White House and laid low most of the historic trees in the White House grounds, including the elm tree which Lincoln planted, and this gave the relic fanatics a fruitful field for their operations. It carried away part of the roof of the State Department where the official documents are stored, but fortu- nately left them uninjured. The costly roof of the Patent Office, constructed after the fire there some years ago, was rolled up and distributed all around the neigh- borhood, and skylights half an inch thick were remorselessly beaten in. The Naval Observatory and, in fact, pretty well every other public building was more or less damaged. Diplomatic residences were not spared. That of the French Minister was left roofless and even the substantially built embassy of Great Britaim suffered the loss of the portico. Churches and theaters suffered alike. The slate roof of the Chnrch of the Cove- nant, where President Harrison used to worship, was blown down, and each square slate by a curious freak planted itself up- right in the parking which surrounds the edifice. Still more disastrous was the fate of the New York Presbyterian Church which Mr. Bryan recently attended. The whole tower of that edifice was reduced to matchwood, and persons in search of souvenirs had no difficulty in obtaining them. Nearly every other church in the city suffered more or less and the theaters were equally visited. The tower of the Grand Opera-house, formerly Albaugh’s, was blown down, fortunately without burting anybody. The debris still ob- structs the whole width of one of the broadest streets in Washington. Several other theaters lost their roofs in whole or part. The new Albaugh’'s Opera-bouse, built on the site of Blaine’s old residence, where tho Seward assassination was at- tempted, escaped injury, but the watch- man’s box at the corner, where through several wintry weeks newspaper men awaited the progress of the last illness of the great Secretary, was caught up by the storm and crushed into splinters. The devastation wrought among the beautiful trees of the capitol was heart- rending. For years t arking Commis- sion, which controls this part of the Na- tional Capitol decoration, had been im- plored to have the redundant foliage of these trees trimmed. Thereply has always been that there has not been a sufficient appropriation made. Now thousands of trees, which would have weathered this storm, if reduced to less redundancy, were blown up by the roots or hopelessly dismembered. and the damage done can not be replaced by any appropriation five times as large as that usually made by Congress for any one year's tree-cutting. There was no loss of life as far as was learned in Washington, though a list of twenty-four persons seriously injured by falling branches and crumbling walls 18 given out by the hospitals. The total destruction of property in Washington City by the storm is estima- ted at nearly half a million dollars. In Alexandria, the Virginia suburb of ‘Washington, just across the Potomac River, the damage done by the storm is estimated at not less than $100,000, and at least two lives are known to have been lost. The killed are Mrs. Louisa Holt and- William D. Btewart, crushed to death by falling walls. Nearly 200 houses were badly damaged by the tornado in its course. Lot LAKE MICHIGAN'S FURX. Great Damage to Mhipping—Four Men Drowned. CHICAGO, InL., Sept. 30.—One of the most severe windstorms known for years ranged over the lake last night and part of to-day. Itseems to have expended most of its fury over the upper half of Lake Michigan. The loss of life 2o far reported is small, four men having been drowned by the sinking of the steambarge Sumatra at Milwaukee, Much minor damage was done to shipping in Milwaukee, Grand Haven, Cbicago and other ports, and the masters of such steamers as were out in the lake during the night report one of the roughest passages they have ever ex- perienced. meg.to the lateness of the season and threatening conditions which prevailed for twenty-four hours before the storm broke most of the saiting fleet was tied up in different ports, Chicago harbor being especially crowded. ‘This fact doubtless explains . the small list of casualties. Along the lake shore in front of this city all night and this forenoon the Wwaves dashed over the seawall many feet. In the harbor yachts and schooners were tossed about like corks, the waves dashing over the breakwater many feet high. One lumber schooner dragged her anchors dur- ing the forenoon, and belore tugs man- aged to get her under control had crashed into and sank a number of small craft. Those on board the different vessels were rescued, however, AThe steamer Atlanta of the Goodrich line when making her dock this morning aftera very rough passage from Milwaukee was thrown violently against the piling. The port side of the steamer’s planking was crushed in for a length of twenty-five feet. The steamship City of Milwaukee from St. Joseph, with a few passengers and a large cargo of fruit, arrived minus ber upper mainmast, which was broken off during the night,and also having a portion of her bulwarks stove in. Captain Stewart says the rain fell in for- rents all night and the wind, which blew a furious gale, seemed to whip around from all directions without the slightest notice. When this side of the lake was reached the steamship had to baul around three times before the entrance of the harbor could be made. § The big tug 8. M. Fischer of the Lake Michigan line left South Chicago yester- day morning with three barges in tow. ‘When the storm struck them last night it was determined to run back to port, and the tug succeeded in getting inside the Chicago breakwater early this morning with two of the barges. The other broke ber lines about two miles out and could not be picked up. Her anchors had been let go, however, before she broke away completely and she was-sighted this after- noon apparently riding safely. It is feared, howerer, that if the wind freshens again to-night she willroll so that the cargo will be pitched nto the lake. Dispatches from many other lake points tell substantially the same story. On Lake Superior the storm does not appearto have been so severe, although at Duluth a 86-mile gale was reported. e DEMULZITION AT HARRISBURG, The City Filled With Roofless Houses and Uprooted Trees. HARRISBURG, P, Sept. 30.—The awful fury of {he storm King wasnot fuliy realized in this city until daylight, when the great force of the hurricane, which swept over this section at 1 0'clock this morning, was evidenced in the roof- less houses, uprooted trees and damaged property generally. Hundreds of houses were unroofed, but not a single human being was injured amid the frightful crash- ing of houses and falling chimneys. The opera-house was partially ucroofed, and many windows were broken in churches and school-honse: Lq,\:in the Pennsyl- vania Railroad weré run ‘via Lock Haven | for sevéral hours, owing to a landslide at Mapleton, but zegular traffic was estab- lished this afternoon. In the surrounding districts much dam- age is reported and many crops are ruined. Churches were wrecked in several country places, and at Stolton an overhead bridge fell across the Pennsylvania railroad. An express train dashed into the debris a mo- ment later. The leccomotive and several cars were damaged, but nobody was hurt. It had been a rdny, windy day, but it was not until midnizht that the wind as- sumed the violemee of a gale. ItIlashed itself into sections of whirlwinds thirty minutes later, and 5y 1 o'clock and for over an hour after ilshowed the teeth of a small cyclone. Thee were scores of peo- ple in the city wio spent the night after 12 o’clock in their cellars praying that the fate of St. Jouis might not be in store for Harrisburg Conservative estiiates of the loss from the storm in the cit vary from $150,000 to $200,000. —_—— AT LEBINON, Pa4. Property Losses bithe Storm Enormous, but No 7atalities. LEBANON, Pa,, ept. 30.—Later reports show that the damge by the storm last night was far greser than at first sup- posed. In additiomo the roundhouse of the Lebanon and Crnwall railroad com- pany being demolised, that of the Corn- wall railroad met & milar fate. The losses sustained by these to companies will run into the thousands, The United Brethren Church at Annvillevas wrecked and the Sunnyside mills we: unroofed. A part of the roof of the Unitd Brethren Church in Lebanon was carrieaway, as well as those dwellings of Josephitrohman and F. R, Fretiff. At the Iron City kewery the boiler and engine houses weresveled to the ground, the top of the steele of the Salem Luth- eran Church beinglso broken. The old brick furnace at Ibanon isin ruins. It is difficult to estimte the extent of the damage. ‘Wilson Chrisman nd his family had a most thrilling escar. They had left the house when one of te walls collapsed, fill- ing their sleeping axrtments with a mass of brick and mortar, A portion of the sieple of the Reformed Churca at Jameston was blown away, and the steeple of tk Sedborg church was twisted out of shape No one was seriously injured, as far as cai be learned. —_—— IN SOUXLHCAROLINA. Two Xachts and .uildings of Every Descrip Wrecked, cnumsromz: C., Sept. 30.—A special to the New and Courier from Beaufort says: | Without premoniion of the Weather Bureau Beaufort ms suddenly visited yesterday by almos as fearful and de- structive a cyclone @ that of August, 1893. It came inall its boutnoon. Atabout balf-past 1 o’clock th wind shifted from the southeast to spth, and by 2 o’clock abated sufficiently br the people to cata-' logue thedisaster. At Schepper’s doclthe steam tug Wey- mouth was wrecked, The yachts Osprey and Julia were sunk but have since been recovered. The haidsome residence of the late George Wabrhouse was terribly wrecked, The residinces of the Messrs. Wallace were badlyiamaged. The roofs of numerous houses vere blown off.

The Wilkes building was undermined and fell. Burk’s livery stable was turned apside down, the bridges over the creek were swept away and the crown building is a wreck. Thornsburg stables are a ruin and there is a general wreck everywhere. About forty harses and mules were drowned and the)bodies of five negroes have been recovered. Other persons are missing. The creek at Waynesboro rose fifteen feet and wrenched buildings from their foundations. One man wasdrowned. Reports irom all the surrounding country report great losses to the farmers. The loss at Staunton is estimated at $150,000. B DISASTROUS TO YACHTS. Small Craft in New XYork Harbors Wrecked by the Gale. NEW ROCHELLE, N.
