THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1896. MWM ably received by several members of the committee, but” others objected so vigor- ously that it was abandoned. In its place the Democrats proposed to allow the Pop- ulists three electors, who were, however, to vote for Bryan and Sewall. This sub- stitute was rejected by the Populisis by a vote of two to two, one member being ab- sent. The Populist committee failine to ggree and 1ts members having separated, the fusion fell through. S 2 TOM WATSON’S FIERY WRATH. Would Suffer Deonpitation Rather Than Make Way for Sewall. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 5.—An Atlan- ta, Ga., special says: “T'd lay my head on the block before I'd retire from the ticket to make way for a pluto- crat, a bondholder, a National banker and a protectionist like Mr. Sewall” said Tom JVatson last night. “If Mr. Sew- all is willing to get off the ticket I believe that even now thereis a chance to elect Mr. Bryen,” said Mr. Watson. “Mr Bryan and I could at once make a tour to- gether and inside of ten days we might restore thousands of votes. “I will remain on the ticket till the last ballot is cast,” exclaimed Mr. Watson. ““When the election is over I will go back to my party, and they will know then that the trust committed into my hands has not been betrayed. “I have been shamefully treated, but I am not afraid to do my duty. I represent a great pol tical party and_was regularly nominated for the office of Vice-President by my party in National convention. Think of how I have be=n used. “Think of the humiliation of having to beg in public for a_formal notification of my nomination. Think of the indignity of being asked to abandon the cause of my party for a fellow like Sewall. “No, I will not_retire. Iintend to vote Mr. Bryan and do all in my power to elect him, but I want to warn the free- silver Democrats of the country that they cannot hope to secure enough votes from the people to elect Mr. Bryan by reviling and deriding their candidate. “I represent men who pray before they fight,, men who have no lust for office, men who have sacrificed everything for principle and have withstood every mis- Tepresentation_and ostracism for con- science sake. You cannot laugh down a cause for which 1,800,000 have cast their votes. “These men are beginning to realize that their party has been sold out. Itkas been fused away. Unless they are treated fairly and respectfully by tue free-silver Democrats thousands of men will stay away irom the polls in November. “Already the Populist papers which are dorsing fusion in the West are losing circulation, and those which are fighting it are gaining circulation. Senator Butler’s paper is losing rapidly, so is Senator Stewart’s Silver Kuight, but the populist editors in Georgia, Missouri, Texas, Indi- ana, Kansas and other States who are op- posing the surrender of the Populist party to the Democrats, are increasing their circulation. That tells the story.” —_—— DEMOCREATS DEMAND ALL. Their Selfishness May Defeat Fusion in Two States. WASHINGTON, D.C., Oct. 4 —Populist Chairman Butler does not think that fusion will be defeated in Indiana. He says the conditions there are different from any other State except West Vir- ginia. Both the National committees bhave urged all the State leaders, where fusion was desirable, to steer clear of all alliances concerning Congressmen and State candidates untii the arrangement of the electoral slate. Chairman Batler, in almost every State except Indiana and West Virginia, has found the Populists eager to fuse on Con- | gressmen and State nominees. Butin In- diana and West Virginia, he says, the Democrats have tried to force fusion of the State and Congressional nominees upon the Populists asa condition of fusion on the electoral ticket. Both he and Chairman Jones have la- bored with the leaders in Indiana. The Populists there, in complirnce with ad- vice from the National Committee, have agreed to an electoral ticket of ten Demo- crats and five Populists. Chairman Butler says that the ticket will stand as far as the Populists are con- cerned. Should the Democrats refuse to pull down five of their electors, which he regards as improbable, the Popalists wul simply vote for the ten Democrats, and if Bryan loses the other five in-November the blame wtll rest npon the Democrats. The situation in West Virginia, he says, is about the same. The Populists have certified to two electors of their own party. They refuse all overtures for fusion on the State ticket and intend to persist in it SIS0 SR BROTHERHOOD OF ST. ANDREW. Delegates Gathering at Pittsburg for the Annwal Conmvention.

Belicves in Any Kind of Fusion That Will Assist Bryan. RELEIGH, N. C, Oct. 4.—Arthur Sewall,-the Democratic candidate for the Vice-Presidency, wrote the following let- ter to Chairman Manley of the North Carolina Democratic State Executive Com- mittee: I have the honor of acknowledging the re- cefpt of your favor informing me of the basis of the fusion in North Carolina and asking me whether it meets my approval. I believe the friends of bimetallism ought to vote for the electoral ticket that will elect Bryan to the Presidency, and I thoroughly approve of the policy which unites the supporters of free sil- ver in your State and every other. It is the eople’s cause against the monopolists, and ocal differences of political aspirations ought not to prevent that unio: BULLEIS FLY AT MPOKANE, Desperate Encounter of Constables With Three Burglars. .

BAVARIX'S WAR ON WHITE CAPS Organized Bands of Lynch- ers and Depredators in Prison. A Barbarous Custom Is Broken Up After an Existence of Many Years. JAILS FILLED WITH FARMERS. Their Crops Are Rotting in the F1 1ds and Utter Ruin Seems to Confront Them. [Copyright,1896,by the United Associated Presses] BERLIN, GerMany, Oct. 4—The Bava- rian haberfeldireiben, a sort of lynch- law organization, has bad a sudden and unexpected check. It will be remembered that it was an ancient custom, said to have dated back to Charlemagne, traditionally set in motion after the close of the harvest season with a view of settling old scores with obnoxious persons in the rural dis- tricts. In the olden times it was & sort of reugh justice and servea its purpose. Of late years, especially since the spread of socialism among the rural population of upper Bavaria, it has degenerated into a riotous and moonlighting custom, by which people were shot, cattle maimed and property burned. During a quarrel a few niguts ago a former victim of the haberfeldtreiban denounced the Burgo- master of Saulach as a ‘“‘habermeister.” The Burgomaster promptly arrested the man for having insulted him in his offi- cial capacity, and the efforts of his friends to obtain his releass have been nnsuccess- ful, the Burgomaster Laving demanded the sum of 8000 marks bail for his libera- tion, At that time 2500 men had been ar- rested in the Holzkirchen, Tolz and Schiierse districts under the charge of belonging to the haberfeldtreiben. The excitement in the localities men- tioned Is intense in conseqaence of the un- expected action of the authorities. The crops, which before now ought to have been gathered, are rotting in the fields on account of the owners and laborers be- longing to the farms who are confined in prison. This state of affairs means seri- ous loss and probably total ruin to hun- dreds of farmers and others. The Bava- rian officials have for along time sought to apprehend this particular class of offenders, but up to this time have not met with any success. In the latter part of October, 1895, a mob of 25) haberfeld- ers, all of them with blackened faces and otherwise disguised, met in an open field opposite the railway station in Sauerlick one Sunday and held a meeting, at which they elected officers. Some individual vresent asked the station-ma tr if he thought he had not better tc h for assistance to drive the crowd away. The station-master thought the suggestion a good one and endeavored to put it in force, but found that the telegraph wires had been tampered with sothat communi- cation with other stations was completely cut off. The meeting finally broke up and the matter rested. . The next night 500 haberfelders assem- bled and neld a grand court in Strobning, a short distance away. The assistant forester at Hafolding and the Postmaster at Sauerlich were designated as culprits and a posse was sent out to hale them be- fore the court. The condemned men were dragged from their beds and brought be- fore their seif-constituted judges who read along indictment to them reciting their sins. In the meantime the presence of the haberfelders had become known far and wide and the innabitants of the out- lying villages arose from thier beds and hastened in the direction of the scene, but they were awaited by the mob. The gendarmes in the district were totally un- aware of the meeting and not a single haberfelder was ever idenitfied. The au- thorities, with the intention of pun- ishing the inbabitunts of the vil- lage invaded by the mob for their cowardice, quartered a company of soldiers among them, whom they had to support for the next six weeks. The au- thorities tried in every way to: get the ringleaders of the baberfelders into their clutches, but their victims feared to inform upon them and lhe%were consequently never apprehended. Now they have been brought up with a round turn and itis safe to assume that they will be severely dealt with. WANT THE CAMPAIGN NEWS, AUl Europe Eagerly Watching the Politi- cal Conflict in Ihis Country. BERLIN, GErMANY, Oct. 4—The action of the Berlin Tageblatt in contracting with the United Associated Presses for the special American service of that organiza- tion, which is now being delivered daily to ge number of European journals, is significant of theinterest which is taken on the continent in the political prospect in the United States. The bourses, which are chiet among those interested in watch- ing the progress of the campaign in America, are looking forward eagerly to more definite indications of the out- come of the election than the estimates of boards of rival politi- cal parties have hitherto supplied. The commercial community, despite their an- tipathy to the tariff views held by Mr. McKinley, are hoping for the triumph of the “'sound money” or gold party, while the aggrarians, on the other hand, pro- fess to regard Candidate Bryan as asort of savior, and rejoice in the utterances of Prinee Bismarck in his recent letter to Governor Culberson of Texas, which they believe must have a tendency to materially influence the situation. The Berlin representative of the United Associated Presses learns that the German Government fully expects that the United States will institute a system of reprisals against Germany immediately after the election, no matter what might be the re- sult thereof. PEALP Ty PRUSSIAN POLAND, Nationalists Resist Efforts to Germanize Their Country. @ BERLIN, GerMaxy, Oct. 4—The Polish National movement is again causing con- siderable anxiety to the Government, al- though nothing of a serious nature is sup- posed to be imminent; but there is abundant evidence that the continued ef- forts of the Government to Germanize Prussian Poland have met with a very small degree of success. The national spirit in that territory 1s very strong, and itis boing{fosund by the Roman Catholic clergy. any instances of boycotting and otherwise annoying German settlers are reported, and these show that the feeling of discontent is widespread. On the oc- casion of the recent visit of Archbishop Strablewzki to Spalenitza the populace became greatly excited, and in the height of thneir administered a severe maul- ing to the imperial representative. This bas caused great indignation among the inhabitanis of the Protestant districts of the empire, and an official inquiry is now in progre:s with a view or punishing the offenders. e Cear to Pivit Kaiser. BERLIN, GernANy, Oct. 4.—Several of the newspapers state that the Czar and Czarina, on their way home from their visit at Darmstadt, *will visit Emperor William, remaining three days. SACRANENTO'S TRON MEN. . Two Worthies Sleep on a Railway Track and Are Struck by a Train—Neither Seriously Injured. SACRAMENTO, CarL., Oct. 4.—As the train from Lathrop was coming into this city at 8 o’clock to-night the engineer saw aman lying by the side of the track at Second and R streets, with his neck across one of the rails. Before the train could be stopped the pilot struck the man, and the trainmen supposed he had been beheaded. A search failed to reveal the severed trunk or the mangled head, but the man was found in the weeds some feet away with his head still fast to bis body. He was taken to the Receiving Hos- pital, where only a slight scalp wound and some bruises on ;ie shoulder were found. The man proved to be Wally Nolan, a dissolute youth who is noted for his toughness physically and otherwise. He was drunk and had gone to sleep with bis head on the rail. The game train struck another drunken track sieeper named Jack Robinson before reaching thedepot. He, too, escaped with a scalp puncture. The condition of the locomotive has not yet been ascertained. e Yound Dead at Ogden. OGDEN, UtaH, Oct. 4.—E.J.

PARIS, Fraxce, Oct. 4.—The city is filled with visitors from the provinces who expect {0 take part in the fete in honor of the Czar. Forty’ thousand people are walking the streets to-night, having n unable to secure accommodations. " The omnibuses and cars have been literally packed with humanity, and hundreds of people are standing along the streets waiting patiently to find some means of conveyance. A majority of those desir- ing to get about the city are compelied to walk. The cab and carriage drivers are taking advantage of the great influx of visitors and are charging fancy prices for the use of their vehicles, little attention being paid to the established tariff. This, however, does not cause much fault-finding, as the crowd is a holiday one and speuds its money Ireely. President Faure has gone in state to Cherbourg to await the coming of the Czar. He isaccompanied by the president of the SBenate; the president of the Cham- ber of Deputies; Baron de Mohrenheim,the Russian Embassador to France; Count Lannes de Montebello, French Embassa- dor to Russia, and 8 number of prominent naval and military officers. The French northern squadron, re-en- forced by warships from Rochefort and Brest, will meet the Russian yachts out- side the Cherbourg roads at 2 o’clock to- morrow afternoon. it e BOARDS THE POLAR BTAR. England’s Farewell Demonstration in the Czar’s Homor. PORTSMOUTH, Exc., Oct. 4 —The spe- cial train from Ballater, Scotland, bearing the Czar and Czarina and the members of their suite, arrived here at 5:30 o’clock. Their Majesties appeared none the worse for their long journey from the High- lands, where they had been the guests of the Queen at Balmoral. Everything was in readiness here for their departure ior Cherbourg, and a fine diplay of flags, etc., was made in honor of the brief visit of their Majesties. A large detachment of troops was presentas a guard of honor, and when the Czar and Czarina appeared the military bands played the Russian national anthem, The Right Hon.

The Venerable Prelate Relieved of His Arduous Duties by the Pope. DECLINES AN ARCHBISHOPRIC. Welcomes the Rest He Has Earned and Will Pay a Visit to the Pacific Coast. ‘WASHINGTON, Oct. 4—Bishop John J. Keane, rector 8 the Catholic Univer- sity of America,*located here, has re- signed at the request of Pope Leo XIIL The news, which became public here to- day in an unauthorized and somewhat erratic form, was entirely unexpected and caused much comment in Catholic circles, Bishop Keane this afternoon made pub- lic the official correspondence so that the facts should be properly understood. He accompanied it with the following state- ment:, Bince my withdrawal from the rectorship of the Catholic University of America will prob- ably be regarded by a certain portion of the American public ws a matter of some interest to them, and since unauthorized statements are apt to be misleading, I deem it my duty to state briefly and clearly the factsin the case. On September 20 I received through his Em- inence, M -r. 8atolli, a letter from our Holy Father, Leo XIII, of which the following is a translation: To our Venerable Brother, John Joseph Keane, of Ajasso—VENERABLE BROTHER: Healtn d apostolic benediction. It Is customary that they who are appointed to preside over Catholic universities should not hold the office in_ perpe- tuity.

Since. there- fore, venerable brother, yon have now presided for several years over the ‘university at Washington, in the first establishment and subsequent develop- ment of which you have shown Iaudable zeal and diligence, it has seemed best that the above- mentioned custom should not be departed from and that arother representative, whose name is to be proposed 10 us by the Bishops, should be ap- pointed to succeed you in this honorable position. In order, however. that in your resignation of this office 'due regard may be had to vour per- sonality and your dignity we have determined to elevatc you to the rank of Archbishop. Being solicitous for your future welfars we leave it to your free choice elther to remain in your country or, if you prefer it, to come to Kome. If you choose the former we will destine for you some archi- episcopal see by vote of the Bishops of the United States. If you prefer the latter we shall welcome you mo ¢ lovingly, and will place you among the consultors of the Congregation of Studies and the Congregation of the Propaganda, in both of which you could do much for the interests of religion in the Tnited States. In the latier case we also as- sign yon a suitable revenue for your honorable maintenance. Confidenty trusting, venmerable brother, that you will accep: this, our administrative act,with hearty good will we most lovingly bestow you the apostolic benediction as & pledge of our paternal affection.

I was too loyal a soldier to ask to be relieved from my post no matter what its difficulties, but teeling that my nine years of strain and solicitude in the work has brought me close to the end of my brain and nerve powers, I was fully ready to welcome what has been doge. Ishall now enjoy some months of greatl: needed rest on the Pacific Coast, leaving al plans for the future to a later date. Of course no one needs to be assured that the action of the Holy Father is prompted not only by personal kindness toward myself, but also gy earnest solicitude for the best interests of the univer- ity. He believes in “rotation in office,” as all sensible men must. He knows the evils of nllowlnf any official, especially the head ot a university, to fossilize at h's post, and in this all must acknowledge his wisdom. His en- lightened prudence, and that of the trustees who have to present the nominations, will be sure to select a rector in every way fitted to guide the work to fuller and fullest success.

The Sultan Expresses Ris Gratitude for the Kaiser’s Support. BERLIN, GerMaxy, Oct. 4.—Thereisa growing disposition here to regard the solution of the Turkish question as being on the eve of corapletion by an amicable agreement among the great powers, and it is taken for granted that all likelihood of the partition of Turkey in the near fu- ture has vanished. The semi-official press make much of the supposed influence which Baron Saurma von Jeltsch, the German Embassador to Turkey, exercises over the Sultan, which the papers ascribe |, to the Turkish monarch’s corfviction that the representative of Germany at Con- stantinople is not actuated by selfish aims. The papers also connect with this pre- sumed feeling on the part of the Sultan the reported departure from Constanti- nople for Berlin of General Grumbkof, a German officer in the Ottoman service, as the bearer of an autograph letter from the Sultan to the Kaiser. It is stated that the communication expresses the Sul- tan’s gratitude at the attitude assumed by Germany in the Turkish ecrisis, and ascribes the troubles in Turkey to revolu- tionary agitators. The Suitan also, according to report, assures the Kaiser that the Christians in Turkey will be absolutely safeguarded un- less they engage in anarchistic excesses. The Altdeutsche Blatter prints an amaz- ing scheme of a story for the division of Turkey, claiming the whole of Asiatic Turkey for Germany, adding that Ger- many may possibly allow the Sultan to remain under a German protectorate, as- suming the direction and administration only of affairs of the Tigris and Euphrates Valley. L e ot ZIHE PORTE 10 BULGARIA, Unemployed Armenians Must Be Ex- pelled From That Country. LONDON, ExG., Oct. 4—The Constanti- nople representative of the U. A. P. tele- graphs that the Porte will require the Bulgarian Government to expel all unem- ployed Armenians from that country. The request will be based on the ground that these idle Armenians assemble in the cafes of the large towns of Bulgaria and conspire against the Sultan. M. Dimitroff, the Bulgarian diplomatic agent at Con- stantinople, has protested against the pro- posed action of the Turkish Goverament. The correspondent further says that serions disturbances occurred at the Yildiz Kiosk (the Sultan’s residence) on Thurs- day. Twenty sottas (theological students) decided to obtain an audience of the Sultan. Upon their request beivg refused they attempted to force themselves into the presence of his Majesty.

Mr. Ford of the First Christian Church Favors a Change. He Advocates Sunday Picnics and Excursicns—The Sabbath a Day of Recreation. Rev. Frank 8. Ford, pastor of the First Christian Church, on Twelfth street, preached last evening on ‘“Modern Phari- saism, or Churchianity.”” 3 “It was with some fear that I ap- proached this subject, which 1 mightcalla fad of mine,” he said. *“But I talked with some of the brethren and sisters, and they told me that was just the kind of religion they wanted. Iam not afraid of having heterodox hurled at my head 80 long as I have them with me. “Do we have any pharisaism to-day? Yea, verily; lots of it. We don’t have to go outside of San Francisco to find it, nor out of the Eleventh Ward. We are not wrapt in our Christianity but in our churchianity—following some creed and wandering away into a cold, formal reli- on. *It is a fact that these pews are not filled by the people who should be here. Churches were not made for the righteous, but for the unrighteous. 1 will tell you the secret, my friend; we have simply gone to seed on formaliem.

It has been demoustrated that the vitality of a man who works seven continuous days is far below that of the man who hasone day of rest. That is one reason why I ad- vocate Sunday picnics. “Now, for instance, i! we could just ad- vertise in the Saturday papers that this church would give a Sunday picnic to some of the islands in the bay. It must also be understood tbat there would be Sunday-school on board and preaching say at 11 and 4 o’clock.

CARSON'S TURF SCANDAL, Another Sponge Removed From the Nostril of the Horse Drummer. Horrible Suffering of the Animal Before Relieved—Thuggery at Reno. CARSON, NEv., Oct. 4.—The plugging of the nostrils of racehorses with sponges yesterday is still the sensation of Carson. The owners of Drummer were up all night with the horse, which suffered terribly from the swelling and inflammation. At one time Thompson & Q’Keefe thought they would lose the horse, but about noon to-day a second sponge was extracted, and the animal will probably recover. Those who witnessed the agony of the horse be- fore the obstruction was removed say that they would be glad of a chance to bang the miscreant who did the plugging. Alliance and Vanity seem IIE right to- day, as the sponges were removed soon after theg were inserted, but the owner of Vanity thinks another small sponge isstill in the horse’s nose. ' He suspected jobbery in the morning and removed the horse from the track to a livery-stable, where it was guarded. One of the watchers went 1o lunch and left no one in his place, and at this time, the owner believes, the plug- ging was done. & Todhunter, the fast half-mile horse which last winter in a five-furlong race at :hez;z ?innct n:&hed ':he ht.::-m“‘; mg n s sq to have en dope: at Reno at the State Fair race.
