THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1896. MRS, FRONA WAITE. | - TALKS FOR SILVER Speaks Before the Women'’s Bryan Free Silver Club. . | Spoke on | the ‘ Governor Budd Also the TIssues; of Campaign. C. D, LANE WAS THE CHAIRMAN Thomas V. Cator and Rsel B. Terry Discuss the Free Silver Question: The Women’s Bryan Free-silver Club entertained the voters of San Francisco | with a spirited meeting at tbe California | Theater iast night. About sixty Jndiesj were seated on the platform. The meeting was called- to order by | George P. Keeney. 10 introduced Charles D. Lane, the noted gold-miner of Angels Camp, as chairman of the evening. Mr. Lane said he was proud to be chosen | as chairman of the evening, and he was | espectally gratified to be houored in this | way by’ the ladies, for he has a warm | place in his beart for the ladies. They are | the real home-makers gnd- home-keepers | and he hoped to see.them in a position to exercise their rightiu! share in the gov- ernment of the country, for they wiil be bevond the reach of ward heelers and ballet-box-stuffers. i Mr. Lane said that he did not pretend to | be a speaker, but” he was surprised to see | some of the orators that have been im- ported by the Republicans to teach Cali- fornians how to vote on the silver ques- | tion. He had-read all of’ Thomas B. | Reed’s speeches and could find nothing in | them that in his ‘Judgment would justify paying the frei on ‘a ‘man -in a third- class tourist-car, le} aione sending him across thg contihient in ‘a train of palace’| codches.

He was frequently applaunded during the course of his address. 5 The mascot of the evening rendered a brief recitation in an acceptable manner. Mr. Cator resnmed his speech and ex- plained his ideas on the silver issue. He said that the ratio of 16 to 1 was and is based on the estimate that gold and silver should bear to each otherin value the re- lation that they bear to each other in volume, ganged by weight in avoirdupois. Mr. Cator's peculiar intonatiou indi- cates that he was forinerly an auctioneer, in which vocation his lung power must During address, -during whicli he made several scriptural quota- tions, Mr. Cator was visibly affected while | speaking of the sufferines of the poor peo- | ple with whom he declared that he was so deeply in sympathy. ¥ He again predicted that California ould give 50,000 majority for Mr. Bryan. The Treble Cleff Quartet-sang two more songs, calling forth hearty app:ause. Mrs. Alice Tugaskis Tecited Joaquin wi | Miller's pro-silver poem that was printed | in last Sunday’s Examiner. Mrs. Frona Eunice Waite was intro- duced as the president of the Woman’s Bryan Free-silver Club and said that if it were not for the fart that an election is impending she would advise the voters preseut te sit quietly with folded arms and let things lake their course, for she helieved there is no power on earth that | can prevent the business of the world from being conducted on a bimetallic basis. Mr. Reed, she had heard, is soon to be in this City to enlighten the people on the question of the tariff. She had been em- | ployed in the State Labor Bureau for several years and had investigated the condition of the poor people. IHerinvesti- gations had led ler to the conclnsion that protection can do nothing for the, peonle of California. She had vpaid particular attention to the boot and shoe industry and found not more than 6 per cent of the shoes worn in California are mannfactured 1n Cahfornia. Despite all the talk about protection the fact remains that Eastern inanufacturers are ablé to sell a shoe in this City cheaper than you ‘can buy it in Chinatown. . 5 England, ‘the lady said, is owned by 1700 men. "Naturally one would suppose that those men ‘are.very .rich, but she thought not, for they are constantly com- ing over to marry our heiresses in order to keep from working. There are two classes who are in favor of thé gold standard, Mrs. Waite said. The first is the man who has gold to lend, and the second is the man who doesn’t know a living thing about the financial quest? ]. exico was declared to be more pros- perous than ever before, and. this was due to the silver standard. France, the only nation that uses common-sense in “finan- cial affairs, the lady said, maintains the 1atio of 1514 to 1, and the Freneh silver coin is good in England or anywhere else, because the credit of the French nation is behind it, and that is all that gives any cirenlating medinm-its value. More than that, nobody. but a Frenchman can buy a French bond, which ‘is right. When France decides to i flop down on her stomach, like Urcle Sam does, begging Rothschild, Morgan et al. to take our bonds at 104, when they are. worth 124, French people who buy French bonds know that whén those bonds are re- aeemed it will be half in silver and half in gold. That is the way in which they main- tain the bimetallic standard. - A tribute was paid to the financial ability of President Cieveland who, though ‘he had.made a muddle of affairs in the Na- tional treasury,-yet had been able to save $5,000,000 on a salary of $50,000 a year. Mrs. Waite predicted that California, would give 50,000 ‘majority for Mr. Bryan. Reel B. Terry made a humorous free- | siiver_address, paying a high_tribute to Governor Budd told the story of the way | M . Waite and to Mrs. Clara Shortridge Foltz, whiom he had heard in.one of her great speeches. e > Mr. Terry, seemed to think that Califor- nia would give a majority of 50,000 for' Mr. Bryan. ° e ’ .The meeting closed with cheers'for Wil- | liamh Jennings Bryan and Frona Eunice Waite. .

The atmosphere about the Republican State Central Committee rooms has be- come charged with political ozone. It is now a question of what the major- ity will be. i b Senator Perkins arrived Tuesday from Humboldt County; Major.Kyle came in from a tour through Mendocino County. | Both of them say that the change in the political aspect in those northern districts from Bryan and free silver to McKiniey and prosperity amounts to nothing short of a slump.* ! e 5% Senator Perkins says that Humboldt'| County .is. good for votes over and above all for McKinley—perhaps. 800. Major Kyle says the change of heart in Mendocino is the most radical within a short period of *time that he has ever wit- nessed. Both men account for it ail on the simple grounds that thé people have | begun to think for themseives. * “Party lines no longer hold up there,” said Major Kyle Tuesday. It has become simply a business question with the wool- ‘growers and lumber men’in that district. They seek a speedy return of prosperity: They have discovered that this cryof free silver is simply a delusion and realize that protection to their ‘industries is the thing | really needea.’” - St : ‘Senater Perkins has trayeléd through more than.

Speclal Anti-Corruption Fund¥Ex- - Governor Markham’s Success- ful Tour In the Mountains. Ex-Governor Markham, who made a memorable tour of the mountain counties, six yearsago when he wasa successful canaidate for Governor, has just gone over the grotiid whicn he then canvassed, and arrived in San Francisco. Speaking-of hisrecent tour at committee headouargers last night, Governor Markham said: “I' spoke at Sonora, Angels, San An- dreas, Jackson, Ione, Placerville and Ne- vada City.- The meetings were really larger ana more demonstrative than those of the campaign six years ago. I met hun- dreds- of Democrats who say that they intend 1o vote for McKinley. If one can form a judgmeént of the result irom the | size and enthusiasm of the meetings I should say that the Republicans will carry the State by a large majority. There has been a great trend toward ‘McKinley since the campaign actively opened. This has been remarked in all the mining towns.” The Republicans and other sound-money men are making a gallant fight in Mendo- cino County. Bhortly after the Chicago convention the Bryanites shouted that there would be only cne ticket voted in be cast for Bryan. The managers of the Republican State Central Committee were proceeded to rally the Republicans and congest the ground. A splendid fight is on with chances in favor of McKinley car- rying the connty. In the beginning of the campaign Mendocino was the acknowl- edged stronghold of the Popocrats, but the wool men reflected that there could be | no prosperity without protection, hence the Bryan following has greatly dimin- ished. The Republican State Central Commit- tee is not only determined to bring out the, McKinley vote in California, but to have the votescast for Republican electors counted for such electors. A special anti- corruption fund has been raised for the purpose of gefraying the expense of closely watching the count in every pre- cinct of San Francisco. The method is simple, but elfective. The observation of the count will apply, so far as the State | committee watchers are concerned, to the general ticket for electors, candidates for Congress and the Legislature. Every at- tempt of an election officer or clerk to cheat in the count wiil be instantly re- ported by special messenger or wire to the pburean charged with the respounsibility of detecting the fraud. The system which the committee has adopted renders it impos- sible for fraud to be committed without instant detection. INSULTED 'HI_S SISTER. A Charge of Battery Against Bert Fan- ning Summarily Dismissed. Bert Fanning appeared in Judge Con- lan’s court yesterday morning to answer a charge of battery preferred by Julius F. Thal, a commercial agent, living at 1298 Oak street. & Thal had been annoying Fanning's sis- ter. She complained to her brother, and on Monday, when Fanning met Thal, he gave him a sound thrashing. Fanning in court yesterday said that Thal had not only annoyed his sister, but Lad insulted Ler, and he thought it was his duty to chastise him for it. g The Judge #aid he quite approved of Fanning’s conduct in protecting his sister from insult, and he ordered that the case be dismissed.

The crime is believed to have caused a young woman to commit-suicide. 5 About three months ago Mollie Traynor ended her life by taking an,overdose of morphine. ©h the person of the dead was found a letter written by Williams. The document was full of vague threats, and further contained obscene and vulgar lan- guage. The writer was later arrested on a civil charge, and while in jail addressed & letter to Miss Traynor. As soon as his term in the Alameda County Jail expired, Williams.was ar- rested by Postal Inspector Irwin on the charge® already named. fHis defense at the trial yesterday was a plain denial that he wrote the incriminating letters. The jury was out buta few moments, return- ing a vemic;I of guilty as charged. The convicted man will be senten ced Monday.

B. Endert, executars of the'will of Horace Gasquet, have sued Porter, Schlessinger & Co. for $78,481 76. Gasquei, who died at St. Mary's Hos- pital-on January 21, 1896, was_a store- keeper of Del Norte County. He dealt with Porter, Schlessinger & Co., Wbo acted as his bankers and with whom he always kept a large balance. < . Josepn Kahn, a member of the shoe firm, was a personal friend of Gasquet, and- the storekeeper visited him at his home whehever he came to San Fran- ciser. While Gasquet lay sick at the hospital during his last illness Kahn did what he coula for Irim, and in return for this kindness Gasquet drew a’ check on his bankers for the "balance to his credit and gave it to Kahn to lold in trust for his (Kabn’s) children, of wkom the de- ceased was very fond. 3 Gasquet's executors made a demand on Porter, Schlessinger & Co. for the money | they supposed wasin their hands, amount- ing to $26.160 92, and, on being informed of the circumsiances in the case, brought suit for that amount and $52,321 84 damages for the alleged withholding of PUGILISTS IN TRAINING chfimfifon Jork | McAulifs “Ia Rapidly Getting Into Condition. ‘Why Tom Sharkey Cannot Score a Knockout — English Clubs Are " After George Greea.

Dr. Marshall Traveled /32,000 Miles a Year in. Mission Work. The “Field Secretary” Tells - Abgut the-Work in China - ! and Japan. REMARKABLE INDIAN VISIT. Strange. Results From Scattering . B.bles and Pamphlets in the Wilderness. The Rev. Thomas Marshall, D.D., for- merly of the Glasgow-avenue Presbyterian Church, St. Lonis, but for some time past -field secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian church, U. 8. A.,whois at the Occidental, tells an in- teresting story of mission work. Prior to .his appointment he spent fifteen months in China, Japan and other countries, and made # circuit of the globe. o While in Japan he was made a member of the Asiatic Society of Japan, which i3 composed of the literati, He also spent him some_years ago in one of the most | éxciting and interesting fistic battles that was ever, witnessed by the members of the old California Club. . Carroll is sanguine of turning the tables on his old opponent and it can be sal said that the members of the St. George’s Club will see, on the evening of November 12, an exhibition of clean hitting and stop- ping which they will have good reason to remember for many days. " Among the pugilists of the present day it would be a difficult matter to select a brace of tighters who are so thoroughly drilled in the art ot sell-defense as the men who have been matched by the St. George’s Club. . As & prehminary to the event of the evening “Spider”’ Kelly and Lon Agnew will box ten rounds, and it goes without saying that this contest will. prove very interesting. On the evening of November 25 George Green and Danny Needbam will spar ten rounds under the auspices of the National Club, and it is said that Bob Thompson, the hard-hitting colored figiter ot Salt Lake, will meet on this occasion the winner of the Kelly and Agnew contest in a ten-round bout, provided that the suc- cessful competitor will be physically in a condition to go a ten-round race. Tom Sharkey 18 determined to be in the pink of condition when he enters the ring to contest in an event which will either stamp him as one of the greatest heavy- weight pugilists of the day or a man who has been singularfy successful because of’| his good fortune. Tom 1snow stationed at his training quarters near the Seal Rock, and if good hard exercise and bag- punching will win him the match, there will be no gainsaying the fact that the sailor will achieve a great victory. But there is something as important as perfect condition which the sailor must cultivate, if he expects to defeat the clever and hard hitting Cornishman. Shurkey has a style of fighting which is peculiarly his own. It puzzles clever flil?leln. and the men who have been whipped by him contend that his system of defense ana attack, although decidedly awkward, is difficu’t of solution. It is patent, however, that Sharkey cannot ad- minister a knockout blow. Protessional boxing instructors who have seen the sailor milling are of the opinion that he cannot possibly whip Fitzsiinmons unless he Jearns how 1o throw the weight of his body with a blow. Sharkey’s friends say, however, .that he has recently learned many little tricks which will surprise the knowing ones when they next see him in fizhting gear. George Gireen has received two letters from England. The Olympic Club of Bir- mingham offered him a purse of $3500 and $250 expenses it he will fight Dick Burge iwenty rounds, and the National Club of London offered him a purse of $2500 and $250 expenses to fight Burge the same number of rounds, but Green must de- posit $2500 as a_side wager with the back- ers of Burge. The contestants must weigh in at 144 pounds at 2 0’clock on the after- noon of the contest. " Green says that of the two clubs hé pre- fers the National and if he can *‘raise” the necessary backing he will accent the offer. He will, however, demand expenses in case he decides upon taking a trip to England, as he will have a trainer accom- pany him. —_— ‘Who Owns the Shaft?

Dr, Marshall. in explanation of this, as an 1lustration, said: ‘*An unknown man at an early day visited the Nez Perce In- dians of the Northwest. He had a Bible, and read frém it and prayed. The Indians asked about it and were told the book pointed out the way to heaven. Three Indians afterward came all the way to_St. Louis to get one of the books, An account of it was published in a Pitisburg paper. A young man working in a sawmill in New York read it. He decided to take his bride and- go as a missionary to the Indians. His wife did not wish to go unless anGther woman would. They per- suaded a man and a woman to go. “It was Dr. Spauldine and wife and the voung man was Dr, Whitman and his wife. Dr. Whitman afterward, by a peril- ous midwinter ride, reached Washingfon and saved an enormous part of our eoun- try from-hecoming British territory. “It is thus that our mission work is being extended, oftentimes great results being obtained in what would at first seem mysterious ways: Last year I trav- eled over 32,000 miles. “The interest in _mission work is in- creasing steadily. We now print and dis- tribute free, paying the postage to distant parts, a very large amount of religions matter. It goes everywhere and various religious organizations are equipped with it. “The Young People’s Society of Chris- tian Endeavor is also aiding in send- ing out a great deal of excellent printed matter. Itisa great fagtor in this kind ot work. When I was on a tourof the Orient_and other countries 1 visited parts of the Himalayas and, otherremote places.

He had been fifteen years as pastor in St. Louis, and occupied the otuer position ov* six years. It was then that he went abrdad, and on his return was appointed to the position he now holde.

Bendel has replied to some criti- cisms upon the Californiu\Winemnken’ Corporation. His answer is in these words: 2 8ax FrAXNcIsco, Oct. 28, 1896. Dear Sir: Permit me to make & few remarks in regard to the statements made by my es- teemed friend and fellow wine-grower, Mr. M. T. Tarpey, reiating to the wine eirculars sent out bi the California wine merchants. Ia the first place Mr. Tarpey is in error when he states that the wine merchanis formed a ‘wine trust in order to cut down the pricé of wine. This is certainly a mistake, as Mr. Tarpev can easily ascertnin by rexding the cor- respondence now on file in'my office. In the second place the wine merchants did not arbitrarily fix the price of wine, and in no case has the wine been sold -below the cost of production these last two years. Iagree with Mr. Tarpey when he says “the coming election is not a mere political contest tetween two parties; it is a contest in which business of all kinds will either be benefited or suffer disastrousiy,” and for this reason I cannot understand how Mr. Tarpey can be in 1avor of the Wilson tariff »s against the Mc- Kinley bill. When the McKinley bill wasin force the duty on imported wine was 50 cents per gallon and o imported brandies $2 70 per rllon, while the interual revenue on Cali- ornia brandy was 90 cents. The Wilson bill has made the change and reduced the duty on European wines 20 cents per gallon and on imported brandy 70 cents per gallon, while it has increased the internal revenue of onr home product 20 cents per gallon. Icannot see how this has benefited the grape-grower of Calitornia. -Whatever the condilions of -n(n‘ ay have been in former yeurs there is no #®oubt that aun n‘ the last two years the profits in the wine business have been equita. bly divided between the producers and the ne merchants. 3 b ‘Dersonal.y, certainly have had as much ex- perience as any producer durinig the last ten Pears, and while in former years I came in direct competition with the wine merchants, selling my produet in the European, Easteri and this local market here, it was not nearfy 50 profitable as when I sold my products to one of the wine-dealers with whom Mr. Turpy finds So much fault, although the price at which s01d my grapes has verhaps peen less by $2 per Ton than any grower of ipf ary wine districts has received, But, as I stated above, the peice is highty satisfactory to us, and for the first time the company in which T am intereste 4n & position to pay dividends o its share- hoiders. 1f the duty of 30 cents ‘per gallon e ntack and the uniimited coinage o silver should be enforced and the impflr(.erl‘on foreign wines be permitted to pay the duty silver, it would naturally reduce the duty l(: half what it is now, because it certainly is no the intention of the party who favors the un- limited coinage of silver to exchaage silver on demand for gold, and 1 do not see whu‘ can prevent it irom reducing the value of our sitver dollars to the vaiue of silyer bulllon,‘us is the case in Mexico, where & dollar, contain- ing more siiver than our doilar, represents only one-half the value of an American dollar, for the reason that at the present timeihe coinage of silver is limited to the demand, ar_lcl we can at any time get a $5 goid piece for fire silver dollars, which is not tne case in Mexico. 1f now, by the unlimited coinge of silver, the duty should be reduced to 15 or 16 cents in California the wine industry in California would certainly collapse, as we would not_be able to compete with the purchasers in Eu- rope, because the erop in Europe last year was enormous, and the price at present in Eu- rope is lower than ever. To keep the wine for & number of years before it is ready for con- sumption would cost at leastd cents per gal- lon; add to this the cost of maturing wines, the’ cost of cask (which is here about five times as high as in Europe), the freight from here to the Eastern market, commission, etc., and you will find that wine from Europe can be landed in the Eastern market for less cost than from the Pacific €oast. 2 As far as lands and products go, I' am afraid that Mr. Tarpey has put the cart before the borse. At present they are valued in gold dollars, but.snould free silver be adopted they I\'Ould depreciate to the vaiue of'a silver dot- ar. z A great deal has been said abont Prince Bis- marck’s letter on the silver guestion, and there is no doubt about it that he has no ob- jection to the unlimited coinage of silver in ihe United States, as it certainly cannot hurt the silver mines in Freiberg, Germany, where Dbetween 4000 and 5000 people are employed; but he certainly would noi advise uniimited coinage of silver for Germany, uhless all the great uations wonld come to an understand- ing on this subject. : 1t is well known that Prince Bismarck js the greatest protectionist of all the leading Ger- man statesmen, but he is also much in favor of iree.trade, as iar as the United States is concerned, keeping foreign products as much as possible out of his own couniry, but keep- ing the factories in Germany going to their’ fnllest capacity to supply other nations where free trade -exists, and a low tariff in other countries enables the German manufacturer to compete with the ihdustries of such countries.
