President Cleveland Did Not Sign the Appropriation Bill. OAKLAND, CAL., March 5.—There is some doubt as tothe fate of the appropria- arbor improvements both houses of Gon- sented to the P W v on constitution of the United Sta | thatif such a bill be not returned by the President within ten days alter presenta- tion to him it shall become a law, as if he had signed 1t, unless Congress by its ad- journment pre ts its return, in which aw. V. R. Davi the fail re ot President Cleveland o sign the bill s equivalent to & pocket veto and he says that it is rea- sonably certain that the appropriation is | lost to Oa d at this time. Congressman Hilborn ha« written a let- frienas in Oakland in which he gives much of the unwritten history of the struggle to get the appropriation bill throngh Congress. He outlines the objec- ti, thet had to be met, and incidentally shows that 1t is a matterof great difficulty 1o push an appropriation to a successful termination. Mr. Hitborn, according toa dispatch re- | ceived this evening, has already begun work amon: the members of the new e, and he is confident that although tie bill 13 practically vetoed the chances o the success of the improvements in the barbor are really better than ever. He says with the new Congress that there will undoubtedly be a raising of the limit on the cost of the appropriation to the figure set by Engineer Sutter. Under these cir- cumstances Mr. Hilborn explains that barbor matters are really in a better con- ion than if Mr. Cleveiand had signed the original bill. A Reporter Officially Thanked. OAK , March 5.—The work of a repo C ated by the f y for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Lloyd D:nounc:s the Berkeley Populist Con- vention. People’s Parly D:legates in a Row Over the Candidates for the Office of Marshal. BERKELEY, CaAv, March 5.— The Populist convention in Sisterna Hall last night resulted in a bitter row, of which the end is not yet, and growing out of it are charges of political jobbery made by Marshal Lloyd ageinst his opponent for re-election, George Schmidt., The con- vention nominated Schmidt for the office after a long and bitter wrangle and ex- change of personalities.

In an interview to-day Rev. Father Mc. Sweeney said: “'The Catholic church b siclated at all times and in the straigh est possiole manuer acainst the curse of enness. Not inthisnorinany other has there existed a power more un- tiring or more fearless in the cause of | {emperance. Our very best efforts shonid be given, and given most willingly, to check an evil that brings and keeps such misery in our midst.” J."West Martin, presideni of the Union Savings Bank, said to-day: “Iam opposed 1o the open £aloon as now conducted in this city. Asa general proposition, I am opposed to liquor in every manner and jorm, because of its evil effects upon the community and State. If such a thing as closing the suloon be possivle I believe every man shouid vote in favor of it.” The present campaign has made a large amount of extra work for the postoffice officials. To a certain extent it has been a fireside campaign. The voters have shown a disposition to receive their poli- tics at home rather than attend the nu- merous ward meetings, and as tkte candi- dates could not draw them out they have resoried, as never before, to the practice )i sending their campaign circulars brough the mail. For the past weex | * very voter on the great register has re- | ceived not less than three pieces of mail containing pictures of eandidates, ex- pressions of views, various kinds of pledges and much good advice, all bear- ing on the campa.gn. In some instances this has been carried so faras to include the criticism of phrenologists in proof of 1 e fact that a candidate possesses the necessary qualifications to serve the city ably. Postmaster White said to-night that.the office is blocked, and that it will not be relieved by to-morrow night.

Sherrett, Non-Partisan and Republican candidates for Town Clerk, were presen ted to the convention, but each declared him- self a Ropublican and unable to indorse the People’s party platform. The platform adopted is a lengthy one. It declares the principles of the Omaha Populist piatform of 1892. A reduction of the number and of the salaries of public officers is demanded, and also the cessa- tion of all censorship over literature douated to the public libraries. Was an Accident. BERKELEY, CaL., March 6.—4 Coro- ner’s jury this afternoon decided that the death of young Claude Marx was purely accidental. The verdict was that death was caused by the stick thrown by Theo Streib, but the evidence showed that the !atter intended simply to discard a stick, and flung it aside witbout soeing the boy near his side.

Says He Has Not Receded From His Water Front Position. FEditor Call—DEAR S1R: My position in regard to the water front being so well | known fo the people of this city Inever thought it was necessary to define my | been us- the San policy in that regard. Having sailed through the columns of Francisco Examiner and my motives questioned I take this means of reaffirm- ing my policy, which as & citizen I inau- gurated, in regard to regaining possession and wresting it from the title to it. I have expended a small fortune, my own personal means, in bringing to an | issue the question of the water front ownership. Tt fact is known, or ought 1o be, to eve izen who has kept track of events. 1 entered into active competition with the business and inaugurated the 5.cent rate and reduced the ireight tanff between this city and San ¥raneisco, which com- pelled ~that corporation to reduce 1ts rates, with the resultgthat the people of this city are saving $1000 per day ana that corporation is suffering a loss to that ex- tent. I am now as I have been opposed to the unjust encroachments of the Southern Pacific Company as well a3 any other | HON. W. R. DAVIS, President of the Inaugural- Celebration. | Ex-Mayor W. R. Davis called the meet- | ing to order, and asked if the weather | made it chill and untoward for Republi- | cans inside the tabernacle, what must it | be on the outside for the Democrats? If| we are not happy to-night, what must be the condition of the other six miliion of . | American electors? st Oakland and | “Mr. Cleveland, who is a great man in | one resvect, has gone out of office and we | hail a change. To-day there are very few great men, Very iew men are great and none are so unless they represent a sys- | tem. The change of a few men at Wash- | ington does not cut so much of a figure as | the change of system and theory of | the Government. But, although achange, ! we know that every citizen is always will- ing to uphold the administration so | long as it is in power. The American peo- vle are wonderfully loyal, and all are | ready to uphold their Government where it is necessary, irrespective of party. | *‘We know that we can trust the present administration. A few montiis ago we worked ior it and fought for its principals | | almost as bitterly as if it were a physical | | matter. The case went to tiie jury oi 70, | | 000,000 'and asa result all the American | | Nation is congratulating itself that Major McKinley is now President. *The man who has just gone out of office did not have the decency to sign the bill that would guaranteea fund for im- proving Oakland harbor and the small- ness of this act is typical of the man's | whole career. Now, I want to say why the candidates who will speak to-night are worthy of support. They represent the same principles that are represented by President McKinley and what_is good for the Nation as a whole 13 good for the States, counties and cities.” During Mr. Davis' speech Captain W. R. Thomas entered the hall and the audi- ence rose to receive him while the band struck_up a lively air. This is the first time Captain Thomas has been able to leave his home during the campaign. Captain W. R. Thomas, who was very cordially received, said: “There is one pull stronger than the political pull, and that is the pull of the grip. [ want first to rejoice with you over the seating of Major McKinley. The country is safe, and just as certainly as Oakland is a small part of this Republic it will also be safe when the Repubiican | candidates are elected next Monday. I am not here to electioneer, because you have all made up your rainds bow to vote. I want to thank you for your kindness, and especially those Republicans who huve worked for me. “I know that the Board of Works, with Wiison and Dow and the other fellow, | will be gafe and we will at least be on | | speaking® terms. It there are any pin- heads on the board it will be the other fellows. 1 am not going to make a speech, because I am physically unable, but I promise that after I am eiected on Monday, as 1 shall be, I shaill do my daty irrespective of sect, religion or politics.” The Reliance Glee Club followed with a couple of glees. Auditor Snow was the next speaker. His speech was a carefully prepared document, showing the cost of the city government. It was a brief synopsis of his anpual report, which has already been published in this paper. As a resuit of his experience he said that the city gov- ernment, under the present charter and | existing laws, cannot be proverly gov- erned at a saving of more than $10,000 from which it costs now. He said thata consolidated city and county government must follow if economy is to be followed and the territory north of the city is to be annexed. 1f the parksare not to be improved by tne city they had better be turne¢ over to the local improvement clubs. He predicted that no one will be elected next Monday who has not piedged himself to continue the suits to recover the water fronts. J. E. Farnum made a speech, in which he said that it was a great pity the ideas | of Mr. Bnow had not been pliced in pam- | phlet form and put in the hands of «very voter in the city. The speaker contrasted Qakland with Los Angeles, and said that in the southern pari of the State they did | corporation, and I again affirm that 1 will | lend my every aid to gain the repossession of the water front and push the suits to the court of last resort so that the city will regain its own. It appenrs to me that no man can offer more evidence of his sincerity in this mat- ter than 1 have, and I trust that my efforts | in the past are recoznized and appreciated by a community that I have used my best efforts toatd in'its struggles against corpo- rate aggression. I have not utilized the water-front ques- tion as a campaign 1ssue to further my own personal aims. The cases have been tried and submitted in the courts of this county and jndgment rendered in favor of the city of Oakland, myself and associates, and appealed by the defendants to the Su- | preme Courtof this State, where they have been finally submitted, and we are now awaiting a decision. If the judgment of that tribunal should be unfavorable to this city I will continue to carry the litication to the Supreme Courtof the United States. My past record in this regard and my pras- ent attitude are surely a sufficient guar- anty to the people of this city wiat my futare policy will bs concerning the de- fense of the Oakland water front.

ALAMEDA, CArL., March 5.—The prep- arations for the primaries of the Good- government Club are all complote and an interesting time is expected to-morrow afternoon and evening. The polls will be opened at Linderman’s Opera-house from 2to 8:30 ». M., the late hour for closing having been selected so as to affora tne many members of the club who are en- gaged in business in San Francisco ample time to attend and cast their ballots. It has been very amusing to note the change in the attitude of a great many politicians with regard to this club. At first they affected to despise it, but as soon as it was developed that it had & powerful element behind it and that its favorites were likely to win at the election they lost no time in trying to make peace with it. As its name implies, this club is strictly non- partisan and is seeking nothing but the best men for the various offices to be filled. At this writing it seems alfogether prob- able that its ticket will be the successful one in April. The League in Alameda. ALAMEDA, CAr., March 5.—As in Oak- lana the Anti-Saloon League of Alameda is coming to the front and will take an active part in thecampaign. Thisorgani- zation hasa membership of over 300 adults and is_presided over by 8. W. Ferguson, while Mrs. J. D. Jamison is the secretary. The executive committee comprises in its membership every pastor in Alameda ex- cept one and among the number is Father Sullivan of St. Joseph's. The league pro- poses to submit an ordinance for adoption applying the local option idea to different portions of the city. Alameda now has only twenty-three saloons, which are re- quired to pay an annual license of $500 each, and the Trustees have refused to license any more. They are not allowed to keep open after midnight, and the fact that during the whole of last month there was only one arrest fordrunkenness shows that the liquor business is far from being the evil in this city that it is elsewhere. Nevertheless the league will work hard to still further restrict it. Harmony Hall Committee. ALAMEDA, CAL., March 5—The newly chosen executiv- committee of the Har- mony Hall organization is as follow: B. Blanchard, George E. Sturtevant, H, A. Thompson, J. H. Burns, W. W. Bimpson, Frank Hally, L. H. Transue, Henry Mul- fer, Joseph Morizio, Ea Houston, H. L. Rea, 1. P. Allen and F. E. Browning.

Many Years Ago He Was a Prominent Politician, and Once Shot Two Men. {He Tells a Story of the Time Whea H W s Supposed to be Dead Three Days. 0AxLAND OFFICE EAN FRAKCISCO CALL.} 908 Broadway, March 5. Georse Wyman, who has figured more in the history of Alameda County the past thirty years than the average man, was taken to the Receiving Hospilal to- day, a complete wreck. He is suffering from dropsy and other ailments, all of which have been induced by general dis- | sipation and morphine. | Twenty years ago George Wyman was one of the foremost men in this city. When he first came to Oakland he ran a stage line, and a few years later bought a roadside house in Temescal. While at this place he was greatly annoyed by & crowd of toughs called the “Boo gang,” | and during a fracas he shot two of them and afterward was made a policeman. For a long while he was a prominent politician, and his business enterprises flourished moderately well. Some time ago he received an aliowance from an estate, but the fund was shut off and he was compelled to seek alms of the county. He is now in a destitute and wrecked con- dition, and should he leave the hospital it will be to go to the infirmary. This afternoon Wyman told a most re- markable story. He went to the intirmary ten years ago to-day, and died, according to sll ordinary precedents. ~For thres days he lay in a trance and heard the ar- rangements made for his funeral. He | knew his death notice had been pub- lished, he heard his relatives mourn by his side, but was unable to move. His body wvas prepared for burial, but just as it was being placed in the coffin power to move returned. “It was just ten years ago to-day that I was taken to the infirmary,’ saia Wyman this afternoon. “At that time I weighed 200 aud was something of an atnlete. One of my tricks was lifting heavy weights | with my teeth. One day I overdld it. | felt my neck snap and dropped the weight, but it did no good. “My knees gave way and I fell to the floor, and they took me to tha infirmary. 1 got no better, and one day found myself unable to move. The nurse looked at me and remarked that it was all up with Grorge. He sent for the doctor, who pro- nounced me deaa. This did not worry me much, for I was quite conscious but atsolutely powerless to control a nerve or muscle. My relatives cried by my bed- side, and I heard them talk of my death notice in the papers. Iknew when I was carried to the deadroom and was placed on aslab with a sheet thrown over me. There was another corpse in the room, because I heard the attendants speak of him. Some of my political friends came 10 take a last look at me, and I heard one of them say, ‘Fix him up good and we will pay for the funeral.’ “They left and the attendants fixed me up. They washed my body in cold water, combed my hair and put a clean sheet over me. Then I began toworry. At last they came with the coffin and placed it beside the slab. One man took hold of | my feet and o fellow named Clark took bold of my head. Just as they lified me up 1 was enabled to open my eyes and | look the fellow straight in the face, and it almost made me laugh to see how quickly they dropped me and ran.” | The chances cf recovery are against Wyman, and unless there is a speedy change the doctors do not prophesy much more of life for the patient. Two Draws Before the Keliance. OAKLAND, Car, March 5.—At the Re- | liance Ciub to-night the two centests wers drawn. Mike McCormack and Harry Woods fought eight rounds, which ended in a draw, and the fight between Ned 0'Malia and Charles Goff ended in the same manner. Both contests were spir- ited, with the honors about evenly divided. FANTED ON THE CLENTS The Norwegian Team Defeated the French After a Dasper- ate Struegle. The Canadians Gav: the Swedish Team an Unexp:cled Surprise. The rain again kept many people away from the opening events of the tug-of-war tournament at the Mechanics’ Pavilion last night, but many witnessed the two last pulls of the evening. The Irish and Italian teams opened, and the Irish team won in 5 min. 223¢ sec. The betting was $5to $1on Ireland and Italian money was scarce. The next event was between Germany and Denmark, and the pull was won by the Danes in 1 min. 43 sec. The pools sold in favor of the Danesat $3 to §1. The German team attributed its defeat to a new anchorman, who did not understand the ropes. Without any question the best and most exciting tug of the tournament was the one between the French and Norwe- gian teems. The spectators went wild with excitement as the teams struggled to gain an advantage. Big beads of perspi- ration rolleda off the contestants as they strained every nerve and muscle. Tne French first gained a few cleats, but the Norwegians won the ground back, only to lose several more cleats to the French, which team tinally got the indicator half- way along the stick. Then there was a seesawing and neither team could score an inch. The contest- ants pulled like Trojans and after twenty minutes of the hatdest kind of pulling the men from NofWway managed to get the in- dicator bick to its old position. The cheering was deafening. The struegle at this juncture was desperate and inch by inch'the French gamed ground until the dial again was drawn half way into the French territory. The spectators were on tiptoe of excite- ment and the contestants were in a lather of perspiration. “Goit, Francel” “Pull, Norway I”” were the entreaties of the spec- tators, who had now worked themselves into a fever of excitement. The French: men had wagered a_large sum of money on the result, and it wasdo ordie with them.

Time, 36 min. 42 sec. | Three of the French team and two of the Norwegian team fell prostrate on the cleats from exhaustion when the judge’s pistol sounded the finish. Tie betting was 10 to 4 in favor of the Norwegians. The sports looked for another hard strucgie when the Swedish and Canadian teams took their respective positions on the cleats. The pools sold 10 to 6 with the Canadians on the long end. ‘I'ne fact that the Canadians were such strong favorites against the successfal Swedes meant that something out of the | ordinary was going to bappen. The Cana- dians bad their original anchorman, At- | kinson, in harness. The Canadians were first to gain a few cleats, and they pulled like demons from the crack of the pistol. The inaicator went with them and they won the contest in 2 min. 24 sec. The Swedes were given | a surprise, as the Canadian anchorman | did actually try to wm. though he was a little bit late, ho was| still in the swim.
