OAKLAND OFrICE SaN Fx. 908 Broadway, Oct The Bay Conference has practically ended its connection with the Brown-| Oyerman matter and has transferred it to a’committee. The action taken to-day leaves all further adjudication of the trouble between an ex-parte council and the,Dubuque association, and leaves the path perfectly clear for the acceptance into the Bay Conference.of Dr. C. O. Brown’s succe Resolutions were passed after a lively debate caling on"the Dubuque association to recede from .its position in the case of Rev, Dr. Brown, and threatening 'in case it ‘refused to do so te.call an ex-parte council 1o pass on the famous case. ‘The meeting was opened by the reading of the following préparéd by Rev.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FrANcrsco CALL. 908 Broadway, Oct. 29. } ‘The Republicans and honest-money men of Alameda County are highly indignant at the gross and false misrepresentations persistently being made in a morning paper regarding the meeting and parade on “Tom Reed day.” The facts obtained from the committee in good faith have been twisted, tangled and distorted toa ridiculous extent and evidently for no other purpose than to intentionally mis- lead. 7 An attempt has been made to make it appear that the meeting at which Mr. Reed was to speak should have been held on Manday evening and that it was side- tracked to the afternoon at the suggestion of'd railroad official who is credited with having a grievance against this ¢ity. * It is also stated that the sudden change left Oakland Republicans in a dilemina, one half thinking that the parade has been transferred to Monday afternoon and the other.half .thinking that it had been postponed altogether.

The.Rev. F. H. Foster presented a setof resolutions regarding the action taken by the . Dubugue assocration, declaring it a breach of iellowship and deciaring such ion null and void. The matter was dis- d for several hours on all sides, and several- amendments were made to the wording of the resolutions. The ifollowing was finally adopted as setsing forth the position of the church association and its members on the ques- tion-of jurisaiction in such cases: s, The Dubuque Association of Con- Churches and Ministers has es- sayed to receive 10 its membership in good standing a member of thisgonference while under suspension and without letters of trans- fery therelore Resolved, That the personal standing of the member affected is no longer the chief matter of interest, being eclipsed by the larger and more general question of fellowship raised by this action. Resolved, That this.conference recognize the following principles as embodying its concep- tion of the case: 1. Every local conference or associstion, like every local church, is wholly independent in the management of its Own affairs 2. The determination of the standing of its membe: association. 3. Every co-ordinate body within the Con- gregational fellowship is houna by the prin- les of Congregs®onalism to respect theit night thus lodged in the local conference or association. 4.

The following was also adopted as a pre- cautionary measure to avoid calling the | -conference togéther again in case the Du- | buque association refused to comply with | thelr requests: Resolved, That a committee be appointed #nd be given full pos er, in.case the Dubuque association does not see its way to take: the desired actiou, subsequently to request a mutual council and 10 present the case of the conference, and, if finalkly necessary—and God forbid—to call an,ex parte council, The commitiee-named to carry out the plans of this resolu.ion cbnsistd-of the moderator, the Rev.

Thisaction on the part of the alumni of the Stanford | Chapter is looked upon in college circles | as & direct thrust at the Berkeley Chapter, l because the latter took issue against the | Stanford men in the beginaing and asked ; that thev be expelled because of-alleged | dastoyalty.

AOAKLAXD, Car., Oct. 20.—1In the joint iscussion of the financial question Mon- r——————— = India-ink is made by some secret process which is closely guarded by its invent- ors, the Chinese. . demonstration was taken out of the hands of tlie Republican State -Central Commit- tee is emphatically denied. Such are the campaign fabrications. The facts are these: 3 As soon as it was known that the Expo- sition building.cou!d not hold one-third of the people who would flock into Oak- decided to hold the meeting at the’ race- track, and as it would be impossible to.ar- range with comfort the tremendous meet- ing at the track at night, it was at once decided to hold the meeting in the after- noon, if -possib e. The executive commit- tee of the Alameda County Republican Central Committe went to San Francisco and urged tne State (entral Committee to arrange for an.afternoon meeting. It was considered somewhat of a concession to nave Mr. Reed speak in the afternoon, but op the showing of the Alameda County people it was granted. e There has never been an 1dea or even a suggestion to have a day parade in this city. It was the unanimous opiuion of the County Central Committee and all the bodies who are arranging for the parade that it should take place in the evening, and the statement tuatthe parade com- mittee are in conflict with the County Committee is as false as the rest of the “information” that has appeared in the Popocrat press in this connection. One of the crowning features of the demonstration will be the number of men in line who, till a few months ago and ior the whole of their lives prior to that time, were ardent Democrats. This unanswera-. ble evidence of the great defectipns from t e Democratic ranks in this county is the most poignant thorn in the flesh of those who are sacrificing truth to.a desire to gratify private grievances. * > Ou account of the great length and nu- merous feaiures of the parade it would be abzolutely impossible to have held any meeting the same evéning. It will proba- bly occupy the best part of two hours in passing a given point, and with the time necessary to form and get into motion the whole night will be taken up. A score of floats are already in course of prepara- lion, and in addition to abdut fifty clubs from Alameda County, with bands aud fireworks paraphernalia, a large contin- gent bas promjsed to come over from San Franciséo. Under these circumstances it can be seen at a glance that it would have tice to the Reed meeting and the demon- grration in one evening. a T The campaigh® | eadquarters was the busiest section of Oakland to-day, ana it is the candid opinion of Democrats and Republicans alike that never has so much enthusiasm prevailed as is shown over next Monday’s parade. 2 Some of the transparencies will have the following mottoes: “No coercion influences us.” “We resent the insult of coercion.” “Up goes Bryan with the rise of wheat, but silver continues to tumble.” - . -Major E. A. Sherman wrote to Irving M. Scott to-day and proposed that the old. Spanish-Caiitornia war cry, *‘Oro in paz; en guerra fierro” (Gold in peace; in war iron) be used prominently in the parades on both sides of the bay as being peculi- arly appropriate for this campaign. 5 he Bar Association of Alameda Count; issued the following notice to-day:* - - SOUND MONEY PARADE—NOTICE TO LAWYERS. All members of the bar of Alameda County, ll’relgecnve of, party affi.iations, who favor sound money ai:d the maintenance of the au- thority and the integrity of the Supreme Court of the United S.ates, are respectfully invited to assemble in Department 1 of the Superior Court on Friday at 3 o’clock P. . for the pur- pose of making arra. gements to take part in the parade next Mund?A ¥, By order of the Executive Committee.

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FrANcCIScO CALL, 908 Broadway, Oct. 29. A most remarkable case of depravity was reported to the Sheriff’s office to-day, and after an investigation the affair was no less mysterious, 5 Joseph Octav Besse, a capitalist and real estate dealer, lives at 2047 Linden) street. At first the general opinion was that the old capitalist resided there alone, but after a time it ‘began to be whispered about that some one wag im- prisoned in the house, and that wuoever it was occupied the room the windows of which were heavily barred. This story was told to Sneriff White, and he re- quested Mrs. Prescott of the Prevention of Cruelty to Children Society to make an investigation. g This afternoon Mrs. Prescott made a visit to the house, and while looking for a’ means to gain admittance Besse appeared. He at first refused to allow any search or to say anything, but when toid that tre lady possessed the authority of a Deputy Sheriff he consented to admit her. hehouse is a good one, and the far- nishing indicated that Lhere wasno lack of funds in fitting it up. The old capitalist seemed to have a zood idea ol comfort, and the only room that looked cheerless and untidy was the one poorly lighted by the latticed window. In this room an old woman was lying in the bed. BSune was a mere skeleton, and Besse said she was stone blind. Be-se is a French Canadian who owns properly in_Oakland and is rated as a capitaiist. He is 75 years of age. His property 1s mortgaged for $1500. He trans- acts his real-estate business, when any is done, at.his home, which he cqgis his office snd residence, % The woman on the bed is his wife. She is 84 yearsoid and has not been off the bed for over a year. She is entirely helpless | and Besse locks up the house whenever he goes out. % . Mrs. Prescott says the bed and the whole room is in a horribie condition. The woman was poorly clothed and there'were not more than half enough bedclothes to produce comfort. i ‘Wheiher Besse be a miser or a broken capitalist, or whether his mind be totter- ing, are qu stions that the Shenff would like to solve, but as the case does not come within the jurisdiction of his office or the Children's Society neither cad act.

PACSERVES The Sportsm:pn’s Association - Joins Hands With the Politic’ans. Candidates for the Assemby and S:nate Pledge Their Support to the Duck-Shooters. The mass-meeting of sportsmen which was held last evening in Albion Hall in the Alcazar building was thoroughly rep- resentative of the feeling of the hunters of this City toward the preserve system. Long before the president of the Sports- men’s Protective Association, W. J. Ahern, called the convention to order, standing room only was obtainable. The object of the meeting was to call the attention of the leg 8 ative candidates, many of whom were present, to the re- cently inaugurated system of marsh land preserves, and to ask their support in a fight that will be instituted by the asso- ciation at the coming session of the Legis- lature to throw all marsh and overflowed lands open to sportsmen at large. With the exception of Larry Dwyer, who is a candidaie for Senator from the Nineteenth Senatorial District, the candi- dates for the Assembly and Senate prom- ised their support to the association in 11 SAuction dales A.

Presi- dent Abern said that Mr. Dwyer fought against a bill that was introduced at a meeting of the Legislature two years ago which was in the interest of the associa- tion and that if elected he had every Teason to believe the candidate from the Nineteenth Senatorial District would knife the association even deeper than before. He hoped that the members of the association would not forget Mr. Dwyer on election day. % President 'Ahern, in his address to the sportsmen and candidates present, stated at length the objects of the association. He said that its aim was to combat the marshland preserve system; to protect the farmers’ rights and the protection and propagation of desirable game ‘and fish. George Dennis of' Alameda also spoke at length on the marshland preserve system. | He said that this Government wasdepend- ent in a great measure on its citizens to fight the battles of the country in case of war, and that the young men of the present day who were not born with silver spoons in their mouth should be accorded, at least spme territory wherd they could learn how to handie a shotgun and a rifle in a manner that would prove cf service to the country if they were called upon to defend it. . Mr. Schmidt, one of the attorneys fo the association, stated that the Teuxberry vs. Jones case wouid come up for trial in the Superior Court of Contra Costd County | November 6. Jones and some of his com- panions were arrested last winter for shooting wild ducks on Mrs. Teuxberry’s salt marshlands near San Pablo. “The lands in_question have been leased by.
