THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1896. DEMOCRATS DISSATIS FIED WITH SENATOR WHITE'S ACTS They Say That He Is Too Bill Proposition as Fallen Lukewarm on the Funding and Has as Good Down. He Told the Committee of Fifty That It Was Not Dignified to Filibaster AND' CONJURED OBSTACLES. Prediction Made by W. W. Stow a Year Before Senator White’s Elec- tion and Its Fufillment. “If the Democratic perty succeeds in the next election Steve White will be elected United States Senator.” This prediction,which was afterward ful- fil'ed, was made by that prince of railroad Jobbyists, W. W. Stow, a year before fephen M. White was chosen by a Demo- tic Legislature for the United States Senatorship. It was observed by people who took more than a passing interest in politics at notwithstanding Mr. White’s public private declarations of hostility gdinst the aggression of the Southern Pac Company, every raiiroad heeler and lpbvyist, and every Democratic news- paper notoriously known to be subsidized by and friendly to that corporation, were “whooping it up” for White and “anti- monopoly.” No Republican railroad newspaper attacked him or threw any obstacle in the way of his preferment. This puzzled all but the small coterie of politicians to whom the gentleman who went'fishing with Mr. Stow confided the prediction of a year beiore. But when Mr. White after his election still spoke and voted against Southern Pacific meth- ods the small coterie was puzzled aiso. But certain events which have occurred since then bave made the action of the ilroad lobby more consistent than it was supposed to be at first. The latest and most startling of those events is the re- markable stand that the Senator is mak- ing in the matter of the fizht against the funding bilt He has suddenly exhibited a lukewarm- | ness that has filled the opponents of the | with dismay. It 4 weil known that Huntingion is making hurcalean efforts to have the bill rushed through be- fore the coming into power of President- cKinley and the new Congress. 1t now or never with him, and for this reason the opponents of the measure are concentrating their forces for the purpose | { preventing the passage of the bill. The organized opposition in this State | been crystallized into what is known | as the committee of fifty. th headguar- tiis City. A sub-committee con- | z of Mayor-elect Phelan, George K. | and James H. Barry waited upon White short!y after his arrival in afewd ago, and had a talk him as to the best mode of procedure e adopted. he committee were of the opinion that g tactics should be resorted 1o, ir surprise, Senator White ex- e¢d the opinion that it was beneath dignity of a United Staies Senator to | eagage in that kind of warfare, and, be- sides that, he was sure that he would not be able to sec the co-operation of & sufficient number of Senators to carry out the filibustering scheme, about twenty | Sennfors being required for that purrose. He was about sure that he could not get that many Senators. This balking in the front rank before the firing of a single shot; this piling up of obstacles that do not exist; this luke- warmness; this giving up the battle and hauling down the colors before the strik- ing o1 a single blow, displeased several members of the committee of fifty, and | they are now vividly remembering many | things that had become almost forgotten. The flimsiness of the Senator’s excuse is the most suspicious fact in the whole af- fair. Men who know how things are done in the United States Senatesmile cerisive- ly when the excuse is stated, and declare that three or four Senators are all that are necessary to carry on a filibustering | scheme successfullys They point to Senator Allen of Ne- braska, who held the flaor for twenty-tive | bours on one occasion, and to various other filibusters who worked 1n relays, | and thus prevented the passage oi obnox- ious measures. They pdint also to the fact that Senator White is robust and vig- orous and in the prime of manhood, and | they therefore do not regard his excuse as a good one. They have no doubt that Senator White will speak against and vote against the bill. Todo otherwise would be to com- mit political suicide. But more is re- quired in this crisis than a vote and a speech, and that is that kind of action best calculated to preventthe bill reaching a vote during the present sitting. Many prominent Democrats are mur- muring over this condition of things. Others are declaring that the Senator isa demagogue, wearing one face to the peo- | ple'and another to Mr. Huntington, They cite as fonndation for their suspicions the unholy conspiracy entered’ into between the Senator and Thomas V. Cator, where- by the Senatof was to perpetuate himself in office at the expense of the pecple and of the Democratic party, who would have Cator saddled upon their shoulders as a Uaited States Senator. s : Mr. Cator is suspected of being friendly with the railroad—thut is, to the extent of being willing to extend ‘to it ‘‘fair treat- ment,” and the people whose confidence in "Benator White is oozing from their finger ends are somewhat azitated over the fact that Senator White and Thomas V. Cator were closeted together in the Palace Hotul for quite a lon - period a day or two before Senator White left for Washington. 3 5 : Hence Democratic sentiment is seething and the noise of the bubbling thereof makes the air hum with Democratic dis- content. - . Senator White will be required in the vernacular to get a lively mcve on to him- self, and to filibusier in even a more sprightly manner than Cuban sympa- thizers are doing in the United States. Should ke fail (0 do this there is a larze segment of the Democracy that will say to him in the language of Oihello to the erring Cassio: *I loved thee once; but never more be officer of mine.” gl il diailbat ek JEROME B, PAINTER'S ESTATE Property Is to Be Sold for the Payment of Legacies. After twelve vears of litigation there is to be a partial distribution to some q( the heirs in the estate of Jerome B. Painter, deceased. An order was signed by Judge (;ofie.v yesterday requiring Caroline A. Painter, executrix, and R. B. Dallam, y:acut(;r of %.aid estate 10 pay $1000 each to-the follow- ing-named persons: J. M. Painter, Theo- dore P. Painter, Adaline Meininger, Grace Meininger, Josephus Painter, Thomas B. Cochran, assignee of John H. Pearsoll, and the eslate of Margaret Painter, de- ceased. It is farther decreed that these amounts shail bear legal interest from the tenth day of February, 1884, so that the interest will amount to nearly as much as the principal. Adaline Meininger and Josephus Painter are to be paid in equal share, one-sixth of the net rents from the property known as 318, 320 and 322 Clay street, with interest from the dates' on which the money reached the hands of the executrix and executor. The family allowance 1s reduced to $100 a month and a sinking fund 1or the pay- ment of legacies is ordered established. In order to carry out these ordersof the court the property belonging to the estate is to be sold. s ON CIVIL SERVICE. Merchants’ Opinion Regarding System. The Merchants’ Association is desirous of having the public service throughout the State of California based upon the principles of civil service. The introdue- tion of the merit system in this City hasal- ways been one of the first aims of the Mer- chants’ Association. Information has been received from a numberof Senators and Assemblymen in the coming Legislature that point to the favorable consideration of bills that will establish civil service in the cities and counties throughout the State. | ~The Merchants’ Association hasreceived | from tne Secretary of State copies of the | two bills that were introduced at the last session of the Legislature, as well as other | information relating to civil service enact- ments. A careful examination of these acts will be made and sirong efforts will be put forth to secure the passage by the | Legislature of a bill containing the most | improved features of civil service as | adopted by other States in the Union. | The Merchants’ Association would like | to receive suggestions from the public upon this subject, and is willing to co-op- erate with other organizations with a view of presenting the strongest possible influ- ence in favor of a civil service enactment | by the Legistature about to convene. ———————— UNEMPLOYED PRINTERS. A Big Benefit in Their Behalf New Year’s Eve. The big benefit to be tendered the un- employed printers at Metropolitan Tem- ple, Thursday night, December 31 (N-w Year's eve), promises to be one of the strongest bills in the City for that night. Some of the very best talent in the City bave volunteered their services for this worthy cause and the programme, while not yet fully arranged, will be ot a rapid vaudeville nature, and something new in this line is promised. There will be an ‘“'ola year dance’’ after the entertainment in the hall under the theater, and a good time is promised to all. The committee of arrangements has placed the price of admission at 50 cents, hich inclules entertainment and dance. beautiful souvenir programme will be sued for the occasion. The cause is a truly nobie one, and everybody in sympa- tly with organized labor will individually ffair a grapd suvccess. THEY SARG LIKE DS Kindergarten Children Gathered About the Christmas Trees. The Association the Invites There They Mad: M:rry With Songs, Gamss and Divers P easing Exercises Yesterday. Hundreds of little kindergartners held their merry Christmas festivals 1n this City yesterday. They were provided with the everzreen and ever-joyous tree and each small tot found & present growing upon the fruitful boughs. The Pioneer Kindergarten Society at | Golden Gate Hall entertained the children of the Silver Star School, 806 Sansome street, the Sutro Mail Dock School, 218 Brannan street, and the Adler school, Sec- ond and Fo'som streets. They were under the supervision of their respective prin- cipals, Miss Elizabeth Wainwri-ht, Miss Marie Schultze and Miss A. L. Manning, who put them thronzh their kindergarten training with grace and precision. When it is remembered that the youngsters are all under 5 years of age and of all na- | tionalities and colors, it can be seen how | diffcult was the task. The Occidental Kindergarten, located at 214 Secona street, held its Christmas fes- tival at Union 8quare Hall yesterday afternoon. The chiidren, 100 in number, were brought to the hal! by the principal, Miss M. Bullock, assisted by the teachers, | Miss Agnes Noonan and Miss Claire | Meyer. On the platiorm a great tree had | been placed, illuminated with incandes- | cent lamps and loaded with presents. For | every little girl there was a doll dressed | by the young ladies of the Girls’ High | School and for the boys there were bags of toys. Candies and cookies completed the generous treat. Guido Marto, in flowing wig and arctic furs, was the Santa Claus who presided over the festivities. The children rendered the following programme: March and Ring Song; song, “Merry, Happy | Little Children”; games, The Spider and the i Flies; The Seasons; The Rainbow; Dancing; Presentation song: games, The Chickadees; | Washing and Ironing; Musical Johnuy; Na- | tional game; Christmas song. The exercises of the little folks were very entertaining and reflect much credit apon the ladies who give their time and care to these free schoolr. These institu- tions are all maintained by the voluntary donations of charitably disposed persons, and while many give liberally, the sum total subscribed is small, and “the kinder- gartens are seeing hard times,” as one of the ladies interested expressed it yester- day. In many cases the pupils are clothed as well as trained, and this entails extra labor upon the noble women who are a) the head of the institutions. B They Loved Mrs. Cooper. A committee of the studentsof the Golden Gate Kindergarten Training School drafted and read to the class on Friday an eloquent memorial to the late Sarah B. Cooper and her daughter, Harriet Cooper. The memorial con- cludes: And inthe days of discouragement, such as wa have known by experiencs will come to us In this field of labor, we leel that in their exampie we ock Of strength. The thought that have lived and dled” will ever be to u inspiration in this, our chosen work. Committe Clara M. McQuade, Lucile M. Smith, Evelyn .J. Mason, Maud A.

A Marriage That Is the Happy Sequel to Long Years of Friendship | Yesterday was announced the first im- portant engagzement of the winter, that of Misg _Julia Crocker, daughter of Mrs. | Clark W Crocker, and Samuel G. Buck- bee, a popular young business man and society beau. On Friday evening Miss Crocker re- turned with her sister, Mrs. Fred Green, from an extendea European trip, and on Saturday morning her many young friends were apprised of her return to- gether with the announcement of her forthcoming marriage. Miss Julia Crocker, since her debut some three seasons ago ata fancy fGress ball, which marks an epoch in local so- ciety, has been a much-sought-after belle. Her name wds down on the recaivin,zL list at all the swell teas and ‘‘at homes,” | and no function was considered comnplete | without her presence. Last spring Miss Crocker, in company with Mrs. Requa and her daughter, Mrs. Captain Long, then Miss Amy Requa, spent the season in the East, and received considerable attention at all the fashion- able watering places. She returned in time to be present at the wedding of her sister, Fanny Crocker, and Mr. McCreery, and shortly after left for an extended European visit. Samuel G. Buckbee, the fortunate young man, is a prominent figurein tbis City, both socially and in commercial lifel He is a member of the firm of Shainwalid, Buckbee & Co. Mr. Buckbee is a mem- ber of the Pacific Union Club. The announcement of the engagement of the young couple came rather as a surprise to their many friends. A warm friendship was known to exist between the young people, but no deeper feeling was ever suspected. The bride-to-be is a dainty brunette with pretty nut-brown hair framing a spirituelle face, in which sparkle a pair of | mischievous blue eves. She is of medium | heizht and possesses a slight, girlish | figure. She dresses with exquisite taste, | her gowns always being noted for their rich simplicity. Miss Crocker -~ her mother are now occupying their ew »me at 2010 Pacific avenue. Mrs. ©x - has just had the home entirely ret.. . ina highly artistic and original manner. No date for the wedding has yet been fixed, or for that matter even thought of, though it is probable the marriage will be one of the runctions of the early new vear. Roses and violets and rare exotics were fairly showered upon the charming young fiancee yesterday as tokens of ‘her many friends’ heartiest congratulations, A four-in-hand coaching party was given yesterday by Mr. and Mrs. Henry J. Crocker in honor of the betrothal of Mr. Crocker’s youngest sister, Miss Julia Crocker, to Samuel G. Buckbee of " this City. The coach and four were Mr. Crocker’s blue-ribbon winners at the re- cent horse show. Among those in the Eany were Miss Julia Crocker, Samuel G. uckbee, Miss Owens and Mr. and Mrs. Henry J. Crocker. The drive included a tour of the park and a visit to Ingleside. AeTE L CROCKER FAMILY HAPPY. The Engagement, a Birth and the Return of Relatives Occur All at Once. The Crocker family seems to have un- consciously concentrated upon this week for the celebration of some important social hapoenings. Miss Florence Ives, a vounger sister of Mrs. Henry J. Crocker, will return to- morrow evening to her home in this City after an absence of seven months spent in a tour of Europe and in a visit with relu- tives in the East. On Friday night Miss Julia Crocker and her mother returned .from an extended visiv in the East.

A daugh- ter was born to the wife of William Crocker. CHARGED WITH PERJURY. Harry K. Wilkios, Half-Interest Swindlers, rested Last Night. Harry K. Wilkins, 27 years of age, was arrested on Eddy street, near Market, last night by Detectives Dillon and Crockett and booked at the City Prison on the charge of perjury. Wilkins was a clerk in the office of C. W. von Tiedeman, Lincoln Carr and Guy 8. Whitcomb, the alieged hali-inter- est swindlers, at 959-961 Murket street, when on March 6, 1894, Mrs. Harriet P. Christy’s name was forged to adeed in favor of George C. Platt for a block of land in the Richmond District and acknowl- edged before Lee D. Craig, notary puablic. In the deed, when so acknowledged, the consideration was $320, but when it wont on record it had been increased to $32,000. A mortgzage from Pratt to Alonzo Thayer for $58,000 was also made out and recorded. At the trial in Judge Belcher's court Wilkins identifiea the photograph of Mrs. Sarah K. Owen Spencer at that of Mrs. Curisty and said he had several times called at the house, 208 Powell street, Clerk for Alleged Ar- | with messages and knew her and her busbend well. In this it is alleged he committed perjury and he was indicted by the Grand Jury on April 10. Since then tue detectives have been looking for him. NEW ARMY RIFLES. Experiments Being Made With a Mush- 2 rooming Bullet. Attention is drawn by General Flagler, U. 8. A., chief of ordnance, in his annual report, to the questions that have arisen regarding the “stopping power” of the small-caliber bullet used in the new army rifle. The foree of the bullet is admitted to be t rrific and the accuracy of the new gun admirable, but the size ot the bullet is claimed to be too small to do as danger- ous work as the old 45-caliber bullet. The velocities obtained by the new army and navy pieces with the smokeless powder now used are so high that when a bullet hits a man it makes a clean, round hole and does slight injury in many instances unless some vital part is struck. Bones are pierced as though drilled by a gimiet, whereas severe fractures would follow from a bullet of the old caliber. The medical men having demonsirated that a small bullet, no matter with what velocity driven, would not be so effective as one larger, the army experts have re- cently turned their attention to devising some means by which the bullet will cut a more ragged wound and thus cause more serious injury. General Flagler has been considering & proposition to adapt a soft- nose or mushrooming tuliet, whisk wouid spresd out wuen it struck an animate object, and thus inflict a more dangerous wound than the : arder bullet of the same caliber and weight. Recently experi- ments have been conducted with this bullet at the Frankiord Arsenal, but the results were not as satisfactory as ex- pected, and unless some improvements are made in the bullet the army will re- tain the present hard one for its rifle. Tue experiments proved that the mush- rooming effect of the soft-nose bullet is offset by the so-called explosive effect of the hard-pointed bullet ai short ranges. The soft-nose bullet was inferior in accu- racy, and especially inferior in its ability to penetrate hard substances used for de- fensive purposes, making it useless to reach troops. under cover that would b- dislodgea by the present bullet. As a re- sult of the experiments the War Depart- ment will probably retain the present hard bullet and depend upon its putting men out of action if it does not kill them outright. ‘ About 12,000 magazine rifles have been made for the army and 8000 carbines for the cavalry, exclusive of 404 cadet rifles. The daily output of tue Springfield armory 18 now 120 r.fles or carbines, and as they are being made for the Govern- ment in the proporuon ot live carbines to one rifle, the shops witl be run on carbines alone during two months in each fiscal vear. The shops, however, are capable of an output of 200 rifies to-day, and in an emergency trom 300 to 350 rifles could be delivered to the army every day in s week. Tne army having recently been completely furnished, both cavalry auc infantry, with a new small arm, a reserve supply of gunsis now being made. The navy is receiving its allotment of the new rifle at the rat: of 100 a day, the first de- liveries being sent the new cruiser Brookiyn and the monitor Puritan, which goes in commission this “month at Brooklyn. s General Flagler calls attention to the vaiue of the Crozier 10-inch wire gun, which ‘has been. completed and tested lately. This gun was turned over to the NEW TO-DAY. CONSUMPTION ‘To THE EDITOR : I have anabsolute Cure for CONSUMPTION and all Bronchial, Throat and Lung Troubles, and all conditions of Wasting Away.

From an examina- tion of the gun the testing board finds that the general programme adopted for the 10-inch B. L. rifle steel was followed in this test, and that the gun satisfactorily met all the requirements as to rapidity, accuracy and general efficiency. The gun was designed for a pressure of 42,000 pounds per square inch and a muzzle vel- ocity of 2100 feet per second, using from 260 to 290 pounds of brown prismatic powder and a projectile weighing 575 pounds. A total of 275 rounds was fired, of which twenty gave pressures below 35,- 000 pounds per square inchb, fourteen be- tween 35,000 and 40,000 pounds, 231 be- tween 40,000 and 45,000 and ten over 45,000 pounds. The maximum pressure was 46,- 000 pounds per square inch, The authori- ties consider the endurance of this pieceas entirely satisfactory, and therefore deem it a suitable gun for the Government service.—Washington dispatch to New York Sun. e e The sense of smell is keen with cats, even when they are asleep.

A Guarantee of Skill and Ability in the .Tr_aatmeni of Patients, Ten years of successful practice in this city has stamped him as the master of medicineand surgery. Medical institutes have risen and fallen. Specialists have come and gone.
