De- clared” to ‘Be Imjurious to- the' Country. He. Says That Gold Causes the Fall of Nations and-Is the Evil of: the Age. The:popnlar subject of the gold of the Klondyke ‘was discussed at the meeting of ‘the Columbian branch of the Socialist Labor party lasi evening, but-notin the feverish manper in'which'it is talked of in other placeés. It was discussed from an economie standpoint, ahd finally the ver- dict was that the'discovery is not in -the long run so much-of a benefit; asitisor will be a curse. The speaker was George Cumriring, the manufacturer, and his sub- ject was, ““What benefit wiil result to so- ciety irom the. discovery of gold on the Klandyke?’ Mr. Cumming is well known in this City, having been prominently be- fore the people in a number of progressive. d reform movements.. The chairman, T. MclIvor, introduced him as one who is not yet a.socialist, but who has done mueh good in aiding in the cause of humenity. Mr. Cumming began by saying that there are two ways of looking at the su ject. One-is’that the discovery will add areatly to the ¢irculating medium of the world, fufnish employment for a large number of idle men and cause business to boom. The other is from the standpoint of the economist—what effect will the dis- Before answe:- ing his own question the speaker re- the situation in this State, and callea particular attention to the fact that here we Liave everytbing that the human family could wish. Yet for all that men are compelled to tramp the streets in idle- ness, while their children suffer for the comman necessaries of life and the women %o in rags. At the sawe time the State counid support many thousands of more people, Then he spoke of gold as & medium of | exchange, and said tuat men have raisea this metal to the position of a god. This excitement simply means that thousands of men are rushing off to the new fields for the purpose of digging more of the same god out of. holes in the frozen ground in order that they may do some more Wor- shiping. In regard to the effect on the country, Mr. Cumming stated.ihat the discovery will be of ho benéfit- whatever.. He said ihata great gold mine was never a benefit to 4 countty. He cited Spain, which in [her: palmy days Hhad the wealth of the werld poured into ber lap,-but where is shenow? Mexico.and Peru, also rich in the -wealth - of precious metals, are countries to be pitfed, for their people are themost degraded in thé world. He'quoted.2-Mexican saying that “a ich "g6ld. - mine never benefital a country.”’ Many an ancient country, he stated; owed its downlall 1o its wealth, which always flows into the coffers of a tavored 1éw . while thée masses became layes. Mr. Cumming made no exception t ‘California. He-said that it was not her gold that made this State great, but the other natural advaniages of climate, soil, its'sitnation for commercial purposes and the opportunities for men to_labor to 1t is.true the gold mines first attracted 1heé attention of the world to the at Grace M. E: Church “on.*The Sting-of | State, but other features made the .State | great.” He declared that the mines pow | aze no benetit to California. The hydraulic appara:us have torn up beautiful 'and productive valleys and brought. fiin’to hundreds of farmers and orchardists by the overflow of debris washed from thé hills and valleys. *In other words,” said he, “‘we have torn our beautifal State into barren zulches and frightful holes in order to get out a little gold, for what purpose—to pour into the pockets of the Rotbschilds in Europe, ledving us the holes.” Mr: Cumming contended that this rush for-gold.is but the gambling fever—a de- sire to become. rich all at once and with- out'the long labor that alone shouid go with wealtt, His remedy for all of these evils is the substitution of paper money as a representative of labor and the aboli- tion of the precious metals as a medium | of exchange. He advocated the use of notes simbly to represent labor, the true wealth of evey country. s SOCIALISM WILL COME. Views of Tom Beresford, the Author of Several Polltical Works. Washington Hall,’on Eddy street, was filled last evening, it being the regular gatherieg of ihe American Branch. The speaker of the evening was Tom Beresford, the athor of a clever book, “The Philos- ophy of Wage Slavery.” His subject was “Inevitability of Socialism.”” His reasons for believing that Socialism will prevail is because things are working that way. He said that the middle classes are be- ing -crushed down into the working classés. They then will have. the same econemic interest and, - therefore, the same political views as the working class and will unite in- order to fight the com- mon enemy. He pointed out that this industriai evolution was working precisely as Carl Marx and Herbert Spencer had predicted. Mr. Beresford described some of the hor- rors of the great French Revolntion, and he said, **‘Some people think that social- ists are trying 10 bring about a violent revolution similar to it, but such is not the case. “‘The very reverse is true; we are run- ning arace with the train of events that produce violent revolutions. Like causes produce like efiects, and the same causes that produced the terrible French revolu- tion are at work in this country. Soci ism can and will be won by the ballot. Even if violence were suceessful political methods would have to be used afterward inany case.” May Bs a Sort of Double-X Ray. A remarkable discovery has just been made by Frank L. Woodward of this city, in the flndinE of a new ray of light, closely reserubling the Roentgen'in its properties, but produced under entirely different con- ditione. The rays are obtained directly from desomposed light, and Mr Wood- ward has named them Spectropic X s. They have great penetrative power, and with them radiographs of the hand and other non-transparent bodies have been obtained. Like the Roentgen ray, the Spectropic X ray eludes the spectroscope, and is believed of very short vibrative period. The discovery of the Woodward rays will throw important light upon the naiure of Roentgen rays, and prove beyond dount that the Roentgen rays are waves of very short vibrative period. The details of the method of production of the Woodward rays have not yet been made public. Mr. Woodward is a mem- ber of the American Institute of Eiectricai Engineers of New York City.—Alban, Argus, NEGROES CLATM [NEW STEAMERS CIVIL RIGHTS| FOR THE NORTH | Antagonistic ~ Views of | They Insist Upon Equal Privileges in Public Baths. A Social Club of Colored People Will Back the Suit Against Adolph Sutro, Superintendent Harrison Says He Has No Knowledge of the Alieged Refusal. Superintendent Harrison of the Sutro baths, when seen 'vesterday in regard to the suit brought by the colored man, John Harris, against Adolpa Sutro jor $10,000 because he was refused the privilege of a bath in the big establishment out at the ocean beach, said that neither he (Harri- rison) nor any one else in authority there knew anything about the alleged refusal till they saw the story published in THE Carv. If any one under Harrison had prevented the negro from going into the water he says the matter would have been reported to -him, but neither. the ticket- sellers at the door nor any of his assist- ants at the baths have any knowledge of the affair, “Negroes,” he said, ''so long as they are sober'und well behaved are allowed to en- ter the baths as spectators, but are not permitted to go in the water. It is not a matter of personal feeling with us but of business necessity. it would ruin our vaths here because the white people would refuse to us2 them if the negroes were al- lowed equal privilegesin that way. Noone could in equity expect us to make such a sacrifice. 1do not think such a case could ever be won aguinst us. Public sentiment would Le too strengly in opposition for any law to force sucha commingling of tue white and colored races. I do not be- ileve the case will ever come to trial.” “Some of the young men in the bath,” continued he, *‘might have told the col- ored man he could not goin and noap- peal have been made to the superintend- ent. If he bad applied to me,” saia Har- rison, *‘the money he claims to have paid for his uticket would have been promptly refunded.”’ As to the motive of the application for a bath and the suit Harrison could guess no more than any-oxne else. *‘It may have been intended as a test case, s no such question has ever come up bere before, or it may have been prompted in spite by some enemy of Mr. Sutro. Never since the baths were opened in March, 1896, has a colored person attempted to mingle with the whites in the water. [ noticedin the papers a short time ago that the Grand Army of the Republic had consid- ered this question of mingling with_ the negroes and had decided that socially they could not expect to be with tue whites. 1 think this decision would ap- ply to bathing together.” Adolph Sutro’s son, Edgar Sutro, when seen in regard to Harris' suit, said he knew nothing of either it or the refusal to let him bathe until he read it in THE CALL. He did not wish to be quoted as to his opinion of the result of the suit. He was confident that it would be ruinous to al- low pegroes in the baths, because the white people would be unwilling to min- gle with them. There were not colored people enough here to jusiily separate baths for them on alarge scale, and he could see no remedy. He did not antici- pate-much trouble from the following up of this attempt to get in, because he be- lieved the influential and better cless of colozed people recoznized the correctness of the present arrangements, and had no wish to force themselves into mingling witn the whites when the whites did not wish it. The Assembly Club, which is a social organization, comprising a membership of 165 of the better class of colored people in this City, is very much interested in the suit, and is prepared as a body to back up with financial aid and all their influence either this case or any other brought by a negro to tesi the rights of their race in this matter. A. L. Dennis, president of this club, said last night that the social organization of which he 1s the head had been largely in- strumental in securing the passage of tha cvil rights bill in the last Legislature, known as the Dibble bll. They had a fund set apart fur that special purpose. Therefore they are much inerested in having the new law brougnt to proof. The bill was to have becume operative in sixtv days after passage and since April 29 it has been the law of Califorsia that no railways, botels, restauranis, bar- ber-shops, batnhouses and other like insti- tutions licensed to serve the public shail discriminate against any well behaved citizen, no matter what his color. The Assembly Club appointed a ecivil rights commitiee to work for the passage of the Dibble bill, and when it became a law they adjourned not to meet again till a test case was made under the law, but were to g0 to work ass sting it in securing subscriptions and otherwise. Tue ma- chinery therefore is all ready for an or- ganized effort to make the bill effective. The club does not know John Harris and has had no hand in bringing or sug- gesting the suit. But the personality of the man makes no difference, as they will work for the principle of the thing. They deprecate any suit brought from a merce- nary motive and aim only to secure recog- nition of equal rights for their race, Marcy’s Whist. Speaking of protocols and treaties Mr. Labouchere oncetoid this story: ‘Years ago I was in America and went down with the English Minister in the United States to a small inn in Virginia. where we were to meet Mr. Marcy, the then United States Secretary of State, and a reciprocity treaty between Canada and the United States was to be quietly discnssed. Mr. Marcy, the most genial of men, was cross as a bear. He would agree to noth- ing. ‘Whuaton earth is the matter with your chief?’ I'said to a secretary who ac- companied him, ‘He does not have his rubber of whist,” said the secretary. After this every night the Minister and I plaved at whist with Mr. Marcy and nis secre- tary and every night we lost. The stakes were trifling, but Mr. Marcy felt flattered in beating the Britishers at what he called their own game. His good humor re- turned and every morning when the de- tails of the trealy were being discussed we had our revenge and scored points for Canada.” Selling Liquor ¥From a Bicycle. Samuel Coffee of Paulson, Armstrong County, is in JMI on charges of illegal liquor sellin r. Coffee ran the original bicycle speak-easy. He purchased a '97 model bicycle and carted his stock in trade about on his wheel. When he met a party of men they all drank from the same canteen, which was fastened se- curely to the frame of his wheel. He was supplied with = large bottle full of biz sugar pills. These pilis he retailed at 20 cents each. He called himself a doctor and guve each of bis patients a drink from his tin can to wash the pill down.

When the Line Is Finished the Time From Here to St. Petersburg Will Be Twenty-Seven Days, Kir Alexeieff, who will represent the Russian Imperial Minister of Finance in Korea, and Lieutenant Garfield of the Russian diplomatic service, arrived in Sun Francisco yesterday and registered at the Pslace Hotel. They will sail for the Orient on the steamer China next Thurs- day. Russia has large and rapidly devel- oping interesis 1 Korea, and it is the policy of the empire to employ accom- plished and able 1epresentatives in that region. Mr, Alexeieff holdstbe rank of Councillor of State. He has had military as well as civil training. Mr. Garfield is familiar with affairs in the Orient and attaches great importance to the construc- tion of the great railroad across Siberia, which will, within the next three years, connect St. Petersburg with the Pacitic Ocean. Speaking of this great enterprise at the Palace Hotel last night, Mr. Garfield said | that within twelve ionths a line of | steamships would be established between San Francisco and Vladivostok, the east- | ern terminal station of the great railway. The distance from Vladivostok to St. Petersburg is 10,000 versts or 7736 miles He figures steamer time between San | Francisco and Viadivostok at fifieen | days and the time by rail from Viadive stock to St. Petersourg twelve days, | making twenty-seven days for the whole | trip. W hen this route is open to freigbt and passenger traffic the Canadian Pacific | will have a competitor, Jin a commercial sense, that cannot be ighored. Itis well known to the Russian engineers that a port farther south tban Vladivostok will be reached by rail, and many predict that Chemulpo, the seaport of Seoul,” will ulti- mately become the terminal station of the Russian railway. A volunteer line of Russian steamers now makes the run from Odessa and Biack Sea porte to Vladivostok., Fifteen ships are now in the trade and four faststeamers | will be put in service withic the next vear. The great commercial triumph for | Russia will come when the line of ships is | established between San Francisco and Vladivostok. Next year the Siberian road will be com- pleted from Moscow to Irkutsk. Two | iarge boats have been built in the United tes to navigate Baikal Lake. These boats will transfer trains in the same manner that trains are transferred at Benicia. The lake, in the mountains of Siberia,is said to be the highest body of water in the world and aiso the deepest body of fresh water known. It is predicted that the opening of the Trans-Siberian Railway will turn the tide ot tourist travel to the route leading from San Francisco to St. Petersburg. Surely travelers around the world will accepr that route either going or returning. What Siberia will produce for the worid’s traffic remains to be determined. It is known to possess wonderful resources of timber and mineral wealth. Bicycies on Towpaths. Suverintendent George W, Aldridge of the Public Works Department has an overweaning ambition to be Governor, and one year ago,in his desire to have the support of the wheelmen vote, he gener- ously donated the canal towpaths as bicycle wheelways. As superintendent of the canal system he threw open to the | wheelmen the use of the towpaths, and | they were not slow to take advantage of | the offer. Now Mr. Aldridge is being | pestered with complaints coming from | canal boatmen, who say that their mules | shy at bicycles and have, in some in- | stances, fallen into the canal as the resuit of a glance at a passing bicyclist. The | superintendent is trying to figure out just what he shall do. Two courses present themselves, either to force the canal mules to wear ¢oggles and blinders or else to compel wheelmen and wheelwomen to wear costumes on the towpaths that will be warranted not to scare the patient but l shy mules.—Troy Press. LOST ALY LIFE FOR HIS DOG In Trying to Save the Ani- mal James Petersen Was Drowned. He Thought It Was Going to Fall Into the Bay. The Dog Did His Best to Save His Master, but Help Came Too Late. James Petersen, a boy who hived with his parents at Railroad and Eighth ave- nues, was drowned in the bay at the foot of First avenue last evening at 5 o’clock. It was a dog that caunsed him to lose his life. In a brave but vain effort to save his | pet from a drenching he topoled into the water and was drowned. The dog, in turn, made a hero of itself in attempting to save its master, but after the waves had closed over the boy’s head for the third | time it ceased its efforts and hurried home as though to tell the story of the tragedy. 3 Young Petersan, accompanied by his dog, left home early in the sfternoon fora stroll. The youngster wandered over to South San Francisco, along the edge of the bay. He reached the old culvert at the foot of First avenue, and there lost his life. Several planks covering the culvert are missing and tho boy was forced to cross a stringer that spanned the water. He ac- complished this perilous feat without ac- cident and whistled to his dog tofotlow. The intelligent pet beran the journey and had aimost reached the opposite side when itslipped and, as its master thought, was about to fall into the bay. The boy sprang out on the stringer to save his dog from falling, lost his balance and toppled into the walter. ‘I'ne dog reached firm ground without mishap and then noticed his master’s struggle, With a startled whine it sprang into the bay and swam to the drowning boy's s.de. Petersen grasped his pet around the body, and master and dog sank beneath the waves. They soon reappeared, how- ever, and Petersen shouted for aid. William O’Connel, a young man who resides in the Cole Hotel at the Potrero, saw the drowning boy and hurried to the rescue. When he reached the shore near the culvert the boy and dog had disap- peared a second time. He threw off his clothes, nevertheless, and swam to where he saw the boy sink, in the hope that he would be able to grasp him when he came up for the last time. In this he failed, as the boy and the dog came to the surtace some distance from him and before be could resch them they again sank beneath the water. ~ 0’Connell continued swimming around for some time until he no:iced the dog swimming several yards away from him. The inteliigent animal wes scanning the surface of the water as he swam in ex- pectation that the drowned boy would again aupear and was walting to aid bim. The boy did not again come to the sur- face, however, until life was extinet. When he went down the third fime his arms did not release his pet until uncon- sciousness relieved his terror. O’Counell and the dog swam round fora while longer and then made their way to the shore. - The dog, almost exhausted, hurried to his master’s home. O'Connell was about to return to his home when the body of the drowned boy came to the surface. He swam out and drageed it ashore. The body was removed to the Morgue. Last Night's Alarms. An slarm was sounded from box 412 at 9:15 o'clock last night for a fite in a two-story frame dwelling owned and occupled by P. Runoury, 2526 Tayler street.
