Louis of the executive commitiee of the local McKinley Ciub to-night recelved.:ln auto- graph letter from Wiltiam McKinley, in which he says: That the citizens of California should take a profound interest in the success of the Repub- lican cause, is not at all strange. No scction of our coun'try has more reasons to maintain | & great doctrine of protection than California. Your great Sga:e hias demonstrated ils capu- city to raise fyuits tully equai to those im- ported irom Southern Europe and from the Southern and Central American republics, and with adequate protection there is no doubt that the fruit industry would be de- veioped and_would be profitable to a degree that would be oi enormous advantage to the people of California. g 84N DIEGO'S OLDEST VOTER. Moses Perin Has Cast Ballots for Seven- teen Presidential Candidates. SAN DIEGO, CaL., Nov. 1.—The oldest voter in this city is Moses Perin, who will be 91 years of ago next March. He is hale and hearty and exhibits as much en- thusiasm in this campaign as any of the | young fellows less than one-fourth as old as himseli. On the lapel of his coat, as he walks about, is a McKinley button, ana a McKinley badge aaorns the other lapel. . “My first vote was cast for John Quincy MAJOR CHARLES W. KYLE, Who Closed the Nevada County Republican Campaign at Nevada City. ‘meeting with their presence. The stage ~"was decorated with flowers and bunting, the footlirhts being banked with gold and silver chrysanthemums. W. F. Engle- bricht presided, and aiter a selection by the band and a campaign song by a male guartet, he introduced L. 8. Calkins, nominee tor State Senator; W. S. Robin- son, nominee for Assemblyman, and Frank T. Nilon, dominee for Superior Judge, who spoke in turn and laid their claims for preferment before the people. Major Kyle, being introduced, made a splendid speech, saying in part: What may be done to insure & return of pros- perity to this country? This is the question whicu we are &ll called upon to answer on next Tuesday. The Republican party says thet the oniy reasonable and feasible way by which we may hope to insure the prosperity of this couutry is by providing em pioyment for its labor—steady, remunerative employment, which a stable and never wavering currency uarantees 1o the empioyed—a doliar of the ighest § sible purchasing power. 3 he years of 1880 and 1890 this ~ountry increased its wea:th far more rapidly shan any other nation under the sun has done stany like period in the nistory of the world. Mr. Mulpali, the celebrated English statis- tician, says that the New England States in- creased their weaith during the ten years “mentioned from three billions to five billions of dollars—a ratio of 60 per cent increase in ten years! The Middle States increased their wealth from nine billions to seventeen billions of dollars—a ratio of rcent. The South- ern States increased their wealth from two bil- lions 1o riine billions of dollars—a ratio of 350 per _cent; while the Pacific Coast States. cluding the brightest star of them all—in- creased their wealth from six hundred and fifty-six millions 10 six billions of doliars—at the striking and unvaralleled ratio of 1000 per cent in ten years! The world poiuts to this marvelous record in amazement, for no page of history reveals bhing like unto it.” We had, during the .period mentioned, neither free silver nor free trade. On the other haud we did have the enforcement of the great luw of protection to American indusiries and we were then, as now. on & sound-money basis, How may we reasonably hope to induce a return of & like era of prosperity except by the adoption of the same lavs and policy which then governed this country? Major Kyle was followeld by Mr. Sel- vage, whose speech was well received. e YOLO CaMPiIGN DED. Winters the Scene of the Concluding Ke- publican Demonstration. WINTERS, Cai, Nov. L—The cam- paign in Yolo County wasciosed last night by a very succeseiul and enthusiastic Re- publican meeting in the opera-house. Notwithstanding many Republicans had gone to San Francisco to see the great parade, and that the Democratic demon- stration at Dixon drew quite a delegation from Winters, over 600 people were pres- ent to attest their interest in the import- ant issues to be presenied for the last time before the great battle. E. E. Goddis, nominee for Superior Judge, and Arthur W. Worth, candidate for the Assembly, each made short speeches, and Hon. J. O. Hayes of San Jose delivered the address of the evening. Hayes confined bimself almost exclu- sively to the financial question and made the most intelligent presentation ot that issue yet given to the voters of Yolo _ county. He was beard with close atten- tion, and the many good points made were cheered to the ecL.o. He not only reiuted the rash assertions of Democratic orators, but gave such a lucid explanation of the sophistries of - the free-coina; e apostles that to-day many of them are wondering *‘where they are at,” R. R. Duckworth of San Francisco fol- {owed with a thirty-minute speech, clos- ing with an address in the Spanish language to a few voters present who gpoke only that language. A feature of the evening was & speech by C. P. Sum- mers, a Yolo farmer, who is a gold Demo- crat. He made a terrific assault on the ‘Bryan gang.”’ e By cKINLEY MONEY AT FUREKA. No Zakers for Odds Offered on the Ke- publican Candidats. EUREKA, CaL, Nov. 1.—There w re big demonstrations here last night by both Republicans and Popocrats. The y Adams in 1824’ said Mr. Perin to-day. “1 was not quite 21 years oid then, but was a taxpayer and so they let me vote. That was in Fayette County, Indiana. I also voted for General William Henry Harri- son, as well as for his grandson, Ben Har- rison. McKinley will be the eighteenth Presidentialtcandidate I will have voted for, and everyone has been a Republican straight out or a Whig- So far as I have been able to learn, McKinley is as good as any of them.” Mr, Perin will walk in the parade to- morrow nizht for McKinley. S R The San Jose Campaign. SAN JOSE, Can., Nov. 1.—The cam- paign in this city will close to-morrow evening, when Congressman Stowell, the elcquent orator of Minnesota, willi ad- dress the people.

Sues for Divorce on the Ground That He Was Entrappzd While Istoxicated PORTLAND, Om., Nov. 1.—Walt H. Butcher, a well known Chicago traveler, having & semi-annual run to the Pacific slope, is a plaintiff in & divorce suit filed vesterday after being married without his knowled-e iess than 2 week. Last Sunday night he and a fellow drummer ‘*‘took in the town,” visiting a number of places of gayety anda from all accounis the Chicago man aid not ‘‘come to” until Thursday morning last. He awakened in a Third-street house, the while trying to collect his scattered thoughts, when a woman entered. He recoliected having met her on his rounds, she being known to him as Lizzie Estes. | Butcher ordered the woman to leave him. This she declined to do, claiming she was | bis wife. She handed to Butcher a docu- ment, neatly tied with a red silk ribbon. Butcher opened it and at first glance his face indicated that he was about'to faint. It was a marriage certificate showing that Walt H. Butcher and Miss Lizzie Estee were married in Oregon City on Wednes- day, October 26, 1896: Butcher realized the terrible situation in which he had been placed. It was simply a blackmailing scheme. She had taken him to Oregon City while in his cups and there caused him to marry her, expecting that when he became sober and under- stood what he had done he would be only too glad to pay a sum of money to be freed. He made all sorts of threats to the woman, but they were of no avail. Butcher is worth considerable money and the woman is going to defend the suit with all the assistance at her command. She alleges that Butcher had been drink- lin somewhat, but he was perfectly con- scious of what he was about when he pro- posed marriage to her. T T Death of @ Tacoma Citizen.

OFFICERS FEARED AN ATTACK. They Were on the Trail of Two Des. peradoes Who Raided the Town of Separ. LORDSBURG, N. MEx.,Nov. 1.—Deputy Sheriff Frank M. Galloway met deatn at the hands of & party of fellow-officers last night while camped on the trail of a party of bandits. Galloway was mistaken for a desperado and shot down by his compan- ions, who believed their camp was about to ve attacked. He was a man noted for bravery, and the unfortunate killing has caused general regret throughout this sec- tion. Sheriff Shannon and three deputies took the trail on Wednesday after Black Jack and Jeff Davis, who held up the town of Separ Tuesday nighi, and followed them to San Simon Valley. Last night they camped near Skull Mountain. They be- lieved they were so close to the bandits that a guard was stationed near the camp. Galloway, while on watch at 3 o’clock, walked some fiiteen or twenty yards away from ¢he camp. He made a noise which awakened the others. They could see his form, but did not recognize him. Frank McGlinchy called out *““Who is there” twice, but received no answer. Supposing they were about to be at- tacked Sheriff Shannon gave the order to fire. Deputy McGlinchy and Birchfield both fired. Galloway was hit in the face, the bullet going through his head, causing instant death. There was consternation in the party when it was learned that an awful mistake had been made. Galloway was popular with his fellows, who respectea him because of his fearless- ness. Sheriff Shannon at once abandoned the pursuit of the bandits and brought the body to Lordsburg, and to-night it was shipped to Galloway’s home in Silver City. Frank M. Galloway was born and raised in Philadelphia, where he learned the printer’s trade. He came to New Mexico about eight years ago and engaced in mining. He went with Shannon’s posse as & special deputy. He leaves a widow and four young children. | WINOFALL FOR AN ACTOA. Falls Heir to a Large Fortune Left by His Grandfather in Eng- land.

Sperry has severed his official relations with Governor James H. Budd, and frankly stated reasons in the follow- ing letter: ive & elly. STOCKTON, Oct. 31, 1896. James H. Budd, Governor of Ca i{fornia—MY DEAR SIR: You were the nominee of the De- mocracy in 1882 for Congress, 1 supported you. In 1594 I was, as you know, and asis generally known, one of your supporters for the highest office in the gift of the people of California. On both occasions I departed from the path trodden by my own peopley(l herewith tender them my &pology). but 1 was not the only Republican who thus erred, as is evi- denced by the majority vou received for both offices. 1 do not propose to discuss here my reasons for my sction, or (0 make any apolo- gies to the Rej ublican party at large. 1 have held for the;ul 1Wo years & position on your personal staff. You also “‘inherited” me from Governor H. H. Markham asa Yosemite Commissioner. I forwarded to you to-day my resignation for both of these offizes. My reasons therefor zre as follows: I do not wish to be connected in an official capacity with you after vour speech dclivered in Ban Francisco Mouday evening last, when you de- liberately charged employers with bril and coercion and employes with corruption and cowsrdice (for an employe must necessa- rily be cowardly who would be coerced). ou musc remember, sir, that these are the ople who supported you in 1894 and made L possible for you to bécome Governor of Cal- iforpia. Have you so little regard for the in- telligence of American labor as to believe that in the short period of two yenrs they have become eligible to the “jackass quote your own words? The "directorate of the flour company of which Ihave the honor to be a membér is made up of men who are almgst equally di- videa on the issues of the day, and 1 chalenge you or any one to_truthiully assert that they or the managers of the aifferent mills have by word or act influenced or tried to influence their employes for or against any political nominees or measuzes. Some of our gmployes will turn out in the Republican parade in San Fratcisco this day, and aiier wmy frignd‘hlg and acquaintanceship with you, running bucl for lhirly~l§ht years, I take it as an iosult to me personally to charge Republican employ- ers with coercion. I consider your remarks on the date afore- said intemperate, demsagogic and false and un- becoming the dignity and homnor which your high office imposes upon you. I believe that the peop.e will repudiate your insults at the polis on Tuesday next. If not then they will certainiydo so if you at ln{:lms in the future be unfortunate enough to the nominee of any political party. parade,’”’ to Thanking you for the courtesies shown me as_an officl I remain, sir, yours respect- fully, GEORGE B.

HIGH GALE OFF COLUMBIA BAR Danger to Ocean Shipping From a Veritable Hurricane, Velocity of Eighty Miles an Hour Registered at Fort Canby. HEAVY RAINS IN WASHINGTON Immense Log Jam Formed by the Fiood in Stillaguamish River. SEATTTE, WasH., Nov. L—Weather Observer Salisbury reports a southwest gale of eighty miles an hour—the highest velocity recorded during the year—blow- ing off Fort Canby, at the mouth of the Columbia River. Itis feared that vessels that have lately crossed the bar or are sailing toward it will encounter grave danger in the blow. News was received to-day that the Stil- laguamish River in Snohomish County is higher than it has been for years. The freshet was caused by heavy rains which are bringing down hundreds of logs to Stanwood, where the river empties into Puget Sound. An immense log jam has been formed, cnoking the river from Stan- wood to a point a mile west. This jam is estimated by loggers to con- tain over 20,000,000 feet of logs. No steamer can get into the river and it will take weeks to break the jam. So frea: is the quantity of logs piled up that he log market,which is just now very stiff on account of foreign orders, will be affected when the jam is broken and logs are avail- able for hauling to the mills. In places the river is already overflow- ing the dikes. If it rises much higher large tracts of farm land will be inundated. The Stillaguamish is a swift mountain strean, rising almost at the summit of the Cascade Mountains and flowing into the sound about thirty miles north of Everett. A YEAR OF PEACE. The Church of the Holy Spirit Holds Its First Auniversary Services. The Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit, located at 2127 Jackson street, celebrated its first anniversary yesterday.

C. Miller, des- ignates a faith mission. No extreme means, such as church fairs, lotteries, etc., are resorted to. The pecple simply enter the church and have faith that the funds will be forthcoming. Yesterday’s services were in recognition of the fact that their faith has not been in vain, Mr. Miller in preface to his ser- mon & A year bas passed since the beginning of our mission, and jt siands to-day as a memorial of God'’s faithfulness to answer prayer and pros- per those who trust in him to carry on his work according to his own methods to the ex- clusion of all unscriptural methods for rais- ing mansy; such as fairs, festivals, etc. Begun with nothing the work has been sus- tained and sdvanced entirely by voluntary offerings and_heas promptly met all moneta obligations. Neither has there been any lac! of peace within the fold. We have dwelt to- gether in unity. Peace has reigned supreme. The pastor’'s sermon was from the text, “But cover earnestly the best gifts; and yet show I unto you a more excellent way,” from First Corinthians, xii:31 ——————— ROBBED A WOMAN., John Dougherty Arrested Last Evening on Complaint of Mrs. Haley. John Dougherty, a boiler-maker by oc- cupation, was arrested last evening on complaint of Marguerite Haley, by Officers ) Cook and Boyd and detained at the South- ern Police Station on a charge of robbery.

When the prisoner was searched at the police station no money was found on him, but as Mrs. Haley was positive that he is the man who robbed her, he was charged with the crime. ——————— THE SOUTH END JINKS.

A Seven-Year-Old Boy’s Probably Fatal Accident on Haight Street. August Legerneck, 7 years old, living at 442 Clementina street, met with an acci- dent on a Haight-street car yesterday which will probably result in his death. The boy, with several companions, was returning from the park about 5 o’clock, and when near Haight street and Masonic avenue they jumped on the rear of a pass- ing car.
