“THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER i, 1896. Does Not Favor the Policy ' STATES HIS POSITION. ! ELEMENTS R JORDANON FREE COINAGE Advocated by Orator Bryan. Opposes Any Movement That Tends to Range Class Against Class. OF PROSPERITY. Stable Conditions and Personal In- dustry the Reguisites for “Good Times.” SEATTLE, WaisH., Sept. 30.—Concern- ing the discussion of political questions by California college and university pro- | fessors, especially in San Francisco, Dr. | Jordan said: “I recret that circumstances seem to | bave brought Stanford University promi- | nently into the political discussion. The work of a teacher is investigation rather than persuasion. No one has a right to | speak for the university in any matter of opinion, and each man as a private citizen | is perfectly free .to take any stand in politics he may choose. So far as my per- sonal views are concerned, I do not believe that National prosperity is waiting on egislation. Its elements are stability | of conditions and personal industry. I cannot see my way at present to favor free | coinage of silver, and I am wholly op- posed to any movement that tends to | range class against class in our country. Just now my constituents arc all fur seals, and they are all for protection.” Dr. Jordan is much surprised on his re- turn from Bering Sea to find from vol- uminous correspondence awaiting him at Seattle that many of his friends have taken seriously an article in the last Pop- lar Science Monthly on ‘‘Sympaycho- graph.” The article, descriptive of a mental photograph of a cat, was intended simply as a satire on the easy credulity of | the public concerniug newspaper science, if the subject-matter is startling or un- anny. It never occurred to ‘he suthor t any one could take the article seri- | lv. Roentgen’s experiments and re- s are genuine, but the English imi- referred to by Dr. Jordan were -aeceived, and eager to see their names nt. Mental photography, he avers, till a myth.

LOS ANGELES, CaL, Sept. 30.—Con- gressman J. G. Maguire of San Francisco addressed a large body of peoble in the free-silver wigwam here this evening. Senator White was chairman of the meeting and spoke before Maguire reached the tented enclosure. The Senator made no allusion to his combination with T. V. Cator, a former opponent of his, to con- trol two sessions of the California Legisia- ture in the interest of themselves. Judge Maguire was in good voice and spoke for over two hours with great dis- tinctness and - deliberation. Besides the common, every-day platituaes of the Popocratic stump-speakers in this cam- paign, he devoted much time in exposing zlleged inconsistencies of leading fgonub- licans of California on the silver question, naming General Barnes, Irving M. Scott, Morris M. Estee and Congressman Mc- Lachlan. The speaker devoted much time to the Pacific roads funding biil, de- claring that “if Bryan is elected you will never hear anything more from Hunt- ington on that matter.” - San Jose’s Sound-Money League, — SAN JOSE, CAL., Sept. 30.—A branch of the California Sound-money League was organized this evening by a number of the representative business men of tais city.

H., Sept. 30.—Some time ago the Navy and War departments decided to train carrier pigeons for, use in case of war. The station at Newport, R. L, and this navy-yard were selected for the purpose. A largze dovecot is being erected, and a large coopof the finest birds of the carrier breed will be kept here. A navy officer will be assigned to care for them. It will be the practice to ship the pigeons several hundred miles away and to let them return by wing to the goop at the yard. The headquarters will be arranged at once. The building will be of the latest design and suitable for pigeons every wa.

M., three hours late. The trip from Cumberiand to Keyser was made via the Central tracks on account of a proken bridge on the B. and O. road. The neces- sity of changing back and a aisarranged schedule caused the delay. Mr. Bryan addressed large and enthusiastic andiences at Cumberland and Keyser. Ex-Senator Harry G. Davis, the father-in-law of Sena- tor Elkins, introduced him to the crowd gathered at Kevser in an open field in- closed by picturesque bluffs. Mr. Bryan in his speech referred to the ex-Senator’s support. Small crowds which showed great en- thusiasm greeted Mr. Bryan at Piedmont, W. Va, Oakland, Md., and Terralta, W. Va., the last-named l ce at the highest point touched by th. B. and 0. road in the Alleghenies. Although the hour he arrived here was so late Mr. Bryan decided not to disappoint the people who had been waiting for bim so long and made them a speech, after which he retired for the night, preparatory to starting for Clnrhburg at 6 o’clock in the morning. Pickpockets followed the Bryan train allday and reaped arich harvest in the crowds. Senator Faulkner lost his purse at nsburg.
