Hammon, : I | GOVERNOR BUDD 10 WORKINGMEN He Declares That California Has Not Encugh Silver. Hard to Get Change for a Twenty- Dollar Piece on Market Street. VOTES FOR BRYAN'S ELECTORS. The Chief Executive S ys He Intends to Aggregate Them From All the Ballots. Governor James H. Budd addressed a labor-silver mass-meeting at Union Hall last night. The Governor was in genlal mood, and soon had the audience 1n uni- son with him. So cordial was the under- standing that the sveaker and his hearers frequently exchanged expressions of opin- ion with that freedom that is only known among the people of the Pacitic Coast. The meeting was called to order by E. M. Wardall, who introduced as chairman of the eyening, Henrv Meyer, past presi- dent of the District Trades Council. Mr, Meyer spoke earnestly on the silver ques- tion, and the bearing it has on the pros- perity of men who work for wages. C. D. Lane also delivered a brief address, after which a quartet irom the State Uni- versity sang some spirited campaign bal- lads. When Governor Budd was introduced by Chairman Meyer he was enthusias- tically greeted with applause and cheers. The Governor opened his address by paying a tribute to the worth of the me- chanics and laboring men of the country. He said t at the manhood of the country constitutes the real wealth of this magnifi- cent Nation. Money, as such, the Governor declared, is merely a medium of exchange. 1ts only real function is to bring together the buyer and the seller. He continued: Go'd, the sacred gold of the goldites, cannot produce anything of itself. Take all the gold in the world and de[pasu it on the Farallome lslands and it will not increase, nor will it produce anything. The seagull will continue 1o lay their eggs there and will propagste their young, but even as frail a community as the gulis will not be affected by the presence of the gold. 3 Put labor in any situation in the world, with or without tools, and wealth will soon be cre- ated and increased. That is the difference be- tween money and labor. g Some of you men work at the Union Iron Works. You work for Irving AL Scott, an able writer on political economy, and I want to call your attention to his article in the last number of the Overland Montbly. In the October number of that magazine he explains that gold and silver have both intrinsic and extrinsic value, and_that the Government stamp of authority adds to the value of the money metals. In this view Mr. Scott is joined by Wayland and nearly ail the other writers on_political economy in the United States. Ithink that all public writers have agreed on that, except & few men who may Le described as confirmed goldbugs. At this point W. P. Lawlor, chair- man of the silver campaign commi:tee, lent the Governor a twenty-dollar gold piece and a silver dollar, wher~upon the Governor said that the gold donble eagle bears a British crown upon its face, while the silver dollar has the wheat sheaf of the laboring man. The speaker raised a laugh by saying that he was proud to have Mr. Lawlor trust him with so much money, and if be was sure of another hon- est miner in the crowd he would bet that the twenty-dollar piece could not be changed within ten blocks of t e hallin whict he was speaking. He met a friend on Market street the other day who wanted $20 in silver for $20 in gold. Un- fortunately he had nothing but green- backs and couldn’t help his friend. He enough silver coin in the State of Califor- the people. silver is the coin of the common people. Governor Buld said he was sure that some of the Republican leaders expected election, by trying to keep the aggrega- tion of votes cast for J. V. Webster and the qther electors who have their names on two tickets, the Democratic and the Popul st. *‘I met an abie Republican to-day on my way to this City who told me that he didn’t know how they couid tell that the same name on the two tickets meant the same person. I replied that according to the law of California identity of name pre- sumes identity of person. “‘That may be true,’ he said, ‘but if the Secretary of State refuses to—’ *‘Oh, the Secretary of State is all right,’ Ireplied. ‘Heis required to certify to the Governor of the State the returns of the election, and the Governor, and only the Governor, has to perform the duty of certifying the resuit to the Congress of the United States, and I'll attend to that mat- ter in a proper way.’ *Now, fellow-citizens, I will tell youn that I intend to see that Bryan gets every vote that iscast for him in California. I would not count my own party in, and by the Eernal I do not intend to see it counted out.” Governor Budd ridiculed the proposed midday parade that isto be held in San Francisco_by the followers of McKinley. He said it was intended asa means by which the employers would be able to spot their employes if they refused to march in the McKinley parade. He said: “I ad- vise a!l you workingmen to march In that arade and then to vote as yon please. When you getinto the voting booth take out your little stamp and when you see your favorite on the ticket put down the holy cross opposite and you have done your duty, despite all efforts at coercion,” J. T. Moriarity closed the meeting with a few well chosen remarks. BPIG Hw A BIG “DOLLAR.” Governor Budd Is to Have a 32 to 1 Symbol Framed. Governor Budd was in the rooms of the Democratic State Campaign Committee at the California ‘Hotel yesterday tri- umphantly displaying a huge coin of white metal, which is supposed to represent the 32 to 1 silver dollar that the Bryanites would bring upon the public if they could win. This simulated coin bears the usual effigy of the American eagle, and around the edge are the word UNITED ETATES OF AMERICA. 16 to 1—Nit. ‘.‘That was presented to me by my friend Joha D. Spreckels,” said the Governor, ~and I intend to bave it framed for future reierence. I want to see whether it is a true prophecy or false.” Thousands of these white metal ‘‘tokens’” have oeen circulated by the leaders of the Republican party during the present cam- paign, for the purpose of illustrating the effect which the election of Bryan wouid have on the monetary affairs of the coun- try. Itisnoticed that many thoughtful said that, as a matter of fact, there is not | nia to properly carry on the business of | The twenty-dollar piece is| the coin of Great Britain, he said, while | to prevent, if possible, the couuting ot all | baliots cast for Bryan electors at the next | Democrats who take these symbols in theiwr hands seem to realize for the first time what would be the result of sending Mr. Bryan to the White House. These vot rs may not frame their 32 to 1 “dollars,” but_.they are pretty sure to heed the object lesson and put in a ballot for McKinley and sound money. S TO WATCH BALLOTS. Two Hundred Trained Printers May Be Secured for That Duty. W. B. Benoist, secretary of the San Francisco Typographieal Union, has noti- fied candidates and others who wish to employ watchers for election booths that the services of at least 200 printers may be secured for that purpose. Mr. Benoist draws attention to the fact that these printers are accustomed to staying uv all night, and therefore would not be likely to go to sleep at their posts, asis so often the case with men who are in the habit of going to bed with the chickens. Another point in their favor as watch- ers is that toeir business trains them to careful attention to details, and their ac- quaintance with tabulated work qualifies them to keep accurate account of the progress of the tallying clerks. Candidates or others wishing to avail themselves of the services of printers as watchers are requested to address Secre- tary Benoist, 606 Montzomerv street. PHELAN’S MANNERISMS. Colonel Kowalsky Talks on the Money Question and Other Things. Colonel Kowalsky addressed a Republi- can meeting held at Eighteenth-street Turn Verein Hall last evening. He dealt with the money question and with *“Young Mr. Phelan.” During his speech he said: The question that the American people must decide is whether they can afford to run a first-class country, with all other conditions equal to it, with a second-class money; whether we are not belittiing ourselves when werefuse to maintain fogpourselves the best kind of money—the moneythat has the high- est possible value—the kind of money that the bondholder demands his interestshail be paid in; whether that money which we all recog- nize as the very bst mouey in the world 18 any too good for the laborer who is a citizen of the besi country in the world. Here the colonel scored a hit with his auditors by mildly ridiculing the youthful Democratic.nominee for Mavor. He spoke of “Young Mr. Phelan, who lives at the Pacitic-Union Ciub, gets his gloves from Europe, rolls up his trousers ,when it rains in London, says ‘cawnt,’ and affects other aihs.” At this point some of Joseph Kelly's friends who were assembled in the audience .demanded, good - naturedly, “What’s the matter with Kelly?” The speaker immediately replied that ‘‘noth- ing is the matter with Kelly. He's my personal friend, but principle and my { duty to my party prevent me from voting .t for Mr. Kelly In conciusion the speaker remarked: “I want to impress upon you, my fellow- citizens, that the present time is one for patriotic action; be you Democrat or Re- publican, it makes little or no difference— it is your duty at this time, if you believe | in honest money, to forget party and rally under a common stanaard. A MATRIMONIAL MUDDLE Love Born ‘Awheel Bursts the Ties That Bind Two Families. Annie Fairfie!d Sues Her Husband for Divorce Under Strange Cir- cumstances. Mrs. Annie Fairfield yesterday began suit for divorce against her husband, Or- lando W. Fairfield. The suit is probably a sequel to the proceeding by means of which Mrs. Georgie Mitchell was freed from Thomas J. Mitchell. In the complaint filed by Mrs. Mitchell, she ‘alleged that her husband had been guilty of intidelity and named Mrs. Fair- field as corespondent. She said that it was a case of ‘love awhee:”” with Mitchell and Mrs. Fairfield, who, she claimed, be- came acquainted while bicycling in Golden Gate Park and were accustomed to take long moonlight riaes wogether. That the acquaintance ripened into a stronger feeling Mrs. Mitchell fully be- lieves, and that Mr. Fairfield was careless of its consequences she aileged. She said that the Fairtields and Mr. Mitchell occu- pied the same residence, and that, despite her remonstrances, her husband refused to be swerved from his d-votion to the auburn-uaired bloomer girl. That t: ere was method in Mr. Fair- field’s apparent madness in allowing his spouse to receive Mitchell’s attentions would appear from the complaint filed yesterday. In it the plaintiff alleges that Fairfield has been too intimate with no less than three women, whose names she quotes. In Judge Daingerfield’s court a few days ago, when the Mitchell case was tried, the husband appeared more than anxious to throw no obstacle in the way of his wite getting her decree. = His only objection was entered when Mrs. Fairfield was named. He acknowledged having been upfaithful, but said another woman than his inamorata was his companion. If Mrs. Fairtield gets her divorce there may be a rerzating all around. BROWN WAS CANED. The Keeper of Point Bonita Lighthouse Agreeably Surprised by Gov- ernment Officials. John Briercliff Brown, for twenty-seven years keeper of the lighthouse at Point Bonita, was the recipient- of a handsome gold-headed cane from the Custom-house employes yesterday. Chief Deputy Col- lector Jerome made the presentation speech, which was as follows: VJohn Briercliff Brown, stand up and receive your sentence. You have been given a fair trial by a jury of your peers and found guilty of ail charges, First, that you have been keeper of the Point Boniia Lightfor more than a quarter of a cen- tury, and that during all that time you have never failed to let your light so snine that ail the world of shipmasters coula see it if they came that way. Second, thal you have peen universally kind and courteous to all with whom you came in contact, botk in a social way and officially. Third, that you have saved many lives at the risk of your own, God bless you, and Fourth, that you nave got'the best “old " of any keeper on the coast. en immediately from my presence and caued for the remainder of your life; and in order that the caning may be well done a number of iour frieuds have providea this cane, whien I now hand to you for the pur. ;lose of allowing you to bé your own execu- tioner. During his career Mr. Brown has saved over forty lives, and is well known among seafaring men entering and leaving this port. ——————— Pressfeeders’ Wages. The San Francisco Pressfeeders’ and Help- ers’ Uniop’s new schedule of wages went into effect yesterday amd so far as heard it met with no opposition on the part of the employ- ers. The rate is for cylinder pressfeeders $10 week, and for platen pressfeeders $8 per week. The members of the union hop- by this to equalize the rate of wages. Reporis will be made {rom all the printing offices at the meet- ing next Saturday night. ————— Leroy G. Harvey’s Trial. Leroy G. Harvey, the stockbroker accused of grand lerceny in having confiscated 300 shares of Oakland Ges'and Heat Company stock belonging to Maud A. Smith, will be tried before Judge Belcher November 9, —————— Vorz for Charles A, Low for Police Judge. * IN THE FURY OF A SOUTHEASTER It Made Things Lively for Shippers and Ship- ping., There Was Not Much Damage, but Some Narrow Escapes Were Recorded. DRIFTED DOWK ON THE TIGER. Brig Salvator and the English Tramp Were in Collision Off Val- lejo Street. The rirst southeaster of the season came up yesterday morning. It has been ex- pected for some time, but nevertheless came up unexpectedly. At9A. M. it was only blowing a moderate gale off Point and stand off shore in order to save him- self from going on the rocks. Information signals have been ordered displayed sll along the California coast from Point Reyes rorth for high southeast gales'shifting to southwest. ANbTHhR OCEAN DISASTER The Columbia, Bound From Swan- sea to Oregon, a Total Loss. Another ocean disaster has to be te- corded. A telegram from Buenos Ayres to the Merchants’ Exchange states that the British ship Columbia, from Swansea to Oregon to load wheat, was totally lost on Cape Blanco. The captain and crew were saved. - The barber on the Oceanic Sieamship Company’s Monowai is bewailit g be loss of several bottles of cologne, quite a quan- tity of cosmetics, several razors and other accessories to his department. Some one gotnto his quarters last Saturday night and looted the shop. Sergeant Tom Ma- honey of the harbor police is at work on the case. Bert Fanning was charged with battery at the Harbor police station yesterday. A commercial agent named Julius Thall of 1298 Oak street had been annoyin: Fan- ning’s sister, and the latter resented fit. He administered a sound thrashing to the festive agent, and Thall had him arrested. Fanning was not placed in a ce!l, but sat with the prison-keeper until he secured bail. Thali bousts of having a ‘“‘pull” with the police and says Fanning will be convicted. The whaling bark John and Winthrop, which got in Sunday night from the Arctic, bad an unfortunate voyage. As foreshadowed in the private letter pub- ! lished in THE CALL some weeks ago, the bark had more than her share of trouble. Not a whale was taken, five men deserted, The Old-Time Whaling After an Unsuccessful Trip Bark John and Winthrop Entering Port to the Arctic. She Brought Back a Story of Deaths, Desertionis and Disasters. Reyes, but at 2 p. m. the bark Columbia had to put off shore on account of the heavy weather. Later in the day the steam schooners anchored in the China basin and those at the Channel-street wharves got up steam and went away around the lee of Telegraph Hill or found a berth north of Mission strecet. There was a scurry of ship captains to get aboard their ships, and some of them, whose vessels were south of Folsom street, took over two hours in getting aboard. In one instance it took five men just twenty minates to pull the length of the cruiser Philadelphia. Early in the after- noon the captain of the warship issued orders that the steam launch should not be run any more until the storm went d own and in consequence all the men on shore leave had to take up their abode in downtown lodging-houses. ‘When the storm first came up the pas- sengers on the stéamer Oakland got a great scare. They left the mole on the 11:30 trip, and when bali way across a squall struck the ferry-boat and made her heel over until everybody thought she was going down. Women screamed and some fainted, while those who were sit- ting on the port side weré sent sprawling on the floor. Many of the male passen- gers became frightened and there was a general rush for life-preservers. Before the excitement had suusided a big wave broke aboard, but dia no damage save to deluge a part of the lower forward deck. When the Oakland reached her slip every- body was more than pleased to be once again on terra firma. The crew of the scow-schooner Albert was in a predicament., The carco con- sisted of a load of flour and of course it was all on deck. The boat was headed for Mission-street wharf, but betore she could be made fast the rain began coming down. Then the tarpaulins were got out and the cargo covered, but as every now and then, even in her shcltered corner, a sea broke aboard, the chances are that considerable of the flour was damaged. About 3:30 ». M. the brig Salvatordrifted down on the British tramp Tiger and aid considerable damage, principally to her- self. The Tiger wasr ady to sail for Cal- cutta with a load of wheat, ana Captain Metcalf, Lloyd’s suryeyor, went out to her in order to ascertain what damage had been done. The steamer was not dam- aged to any great extent, so she will go to sea as soon as Captain Edwardson bas his clearance papers. The Balvator finally drifted clear and a second anchor held her. Captain_Cantell of the British tramp steamer Wennington Hail and his wife and daughter had a narrow escape. They reached the Clay-street steps just as the ship’s boat was leaving with 2300 pounds of grates for the boilers. It was an over- load, considering the state of the weather, but when the captain and his family started to get aboard Boatman John Carter told them they wouid swamp before they were 100 yards away from the end of the wharf, Captain Cantell said he knew what he was doing and ordered the boat away., Carter got out his whitehall and prepared for an emergency. Sure enough, when the ship’s boat struck the heavy swell she bealn to fill, and before Captain Cautell couid et her around his wife and daughter were wet through, Then Carter came along and took the master and his family 1nto his boat and took them to the shiP. The mute set one of the men to pailing and finally got the Weunington Hall's boat back to the steps, where he took out half the load and then made two successful trips. The bark églumbh was offered a tow by the tu. Vigilant, but refused. Half an hour later the master had to wear ship Thomas Keogh froze to death, Samuel Spotford tad his feet frozen so badly that one of them had to be amputated, Richard Brook, the cabin-boy, died of consump: tion and William Mozier, the second mate, died of dropsy. Allin all, it was a most disastrous vovage. The following *‘notice to mariners’’ has been issued by the Lighthouse Board: Humboldt bar, California—Owing to the de- struction of about 500 feet of the south jetty, Humboldt Bay, California, & second-class nun puoy, painted red, has been placed in twenty- three feet of water, about 1 feet northwest by west half west from the end of the trestle work as it now stands. Humboldtold tower bears northeast. This buoy must be kept on the starboard hand by vessels entering Humboldt Bay. The Well-Digger Dead, William Kennedy, the well-digger who had His skull fractured by a crowbar last Friday, dled &t the City and County Hosplial yester- day morning. He was employed in digging a well on the Mission road when he called to his helper to lower a crowbar. He was sixty feet below the surface and while the crowbar was being lowered it slipped from .the rope and fell, striking Kennedy and going through his skull. He leaves a widow and family, who live at Craut and Marshall streets. R — Charged With Murder. Assistant United States Attorney Schlessin- ger caused a warrantto be issued yesterday for the arrest of H. P. Bowen, who killed Frank Jotes at Herchel Island, September 1.

No Mention Made of the Ma- loney Incident in the Testimony. THE WIFE NOW IN NEW YORK Property Divided According to an Agreement Mad: Between the Principals. The marital troubles of Colonel Theo- dore C. Marceau and his wife were ended yesterday by Judge Slack, who granted the photographer a divorce on the ground of willful desertion. The domestic woes of the Marcaaus have furnished a fruitful subject for local gos« sips for a long time, and the doings of the wife produced no end of sensation in March last, when the husband, accom- panied by several friends, burst in the door of her apartments at the Palace Ho- tel and found her in company with J. H. Maloney, a Canadian horseman. Mrs. Amanda J. Marceau’s name was Fisher, she being the daughter of a wealthy resident of Fresno. She was first married to a theatrical manager named Fisk, but was widowed. When wedded to Colonel Marceau in 1891 she was the mother of two young children, one of which subsequently died at sea while the family was en route to South America. When the suit for divorce was filed charges of infidelity were made by the plaintiff, but they were subsequently with- drawn,and inan amended complaintwili- ful desertion was charged. The charge was founded upon -an occurrence which came to pass 1n_Indianapolis in Septem- ber, 1895. While there, the colonel says, he was out until about 11 o’clock one even- ing on business, and on returning to his hotel found his baggage in the hallway outside the door of hisapartments. There was also a message from his wife, an- nouncing that she wished to have no more to_do with him. Since that time, it is said, marital relations have never been re- sumed. Some + time ago an agreement was reached whereby the property of the un- happy pair was divided, it being rumored that the wife paid her husband $40,000 to release a claim he had on her Fresno prop- erty. Mrs. Marceau is now in New York. THE AFFILIATED COLLEGES. Contracts Formally Signed by the Re- gents—Mrs. Hearst Congratulated. Regents J. West Martin, Denicke, Rein- stein, and Major Mhoon, attorney for the Board of Regents, met Dr. R. Beverly Cole and a number of contractors at Mr, Rein- stein's office yesterday afternoon. By virtue of authority conveyed by the adoption of a resolution in open session of the board last Saturday these regents, constituting a majority of the committee on building and grounds, proceeded to sign the original contracts and the modi- fied contracts for constructing buildings for the Affiliated Colleges. Some inquiry was made to ascertain if certain sureties were responsible and did actually own valuable real estate. Little time was lost in discussion. When the papers were signed they were sent to the law office of Major Mhoon. After ap- proval by the State Board of Exuminers the documents must receive the favorable indors-ment of the Attorney-General. It may not be necessary to send the papers to Sacramento, as the State officers whose signatures are required may be in this City to-morrow. Mayor Sutro’s second extension of time NEW TO-DAY.
