Reor ganizers Kaking Freparations to Make the Required Advertise- ment. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 23.—The re- organization committee of the Union Pa- cific announced to-day that owing to cer- tain concessions that have been made to the Government the Attorney-Genera had withdrawn his former objec ions and that the advertisement announcing the cale may be looked for in a day or two. 1tis sard that the concessions asked by the Government will not interfere witn the plan as already published, although the members of the committee prefer that the announcement of the precise nature of the concessions should emanate from the Attorney-General. It is expected that the official announce- ment will be made within a few days, and as the proposed sale involves thirty days’ advertisement, the road, in the event of no one being willing to pay more for the property, will pass into the hands of the new company about November 1. Ex-Governor George Hoadley, counsel for the Government in tne Union Pacific proceeding, said to-day that there was noihing in the announcement of the reer- ganizauon that he wished to deny. He aeclined to state what concessions had been made to tne Government by the re- organization company. There was a meeting of the executive committee of the Union Pacific Railway Company to-day. Recewver E. Kilery Anderson stated that the business trans- acted was purely of a routine character and had no reference to the foreclosure or reoreanization proceedings. said that while he had no edge of an agreement having veen reached between the reorganization committee and the Government he believed the sale would be effected betore November5. He said the main rronble would be paying the debt of $45,000.000 que the Government. The propert; couid be turned over'to the new company without any difficalty. SUICIDE OF USAGE-MAKEK. Ernest Semper’s -..d Unhalancea by the Luetgert Trial. CHICAGO, IrL, Sept. 28.— At Joliet to-day Ernest Semver, a prominent Ger- man sausage-maker and bulcher, com- mitted suicide by shooting himself through the heart. Since the Lueigert trial began, the sausage business at Joliet bas greaiy fallen off, and Semper has been steadily losing mouey. He was ac- quainted with Lonetgert and uad been reading the details of his trial, and 1t is thought that this, together with his busi- ness troubles, had affected bis mind. Thefts of a Cashier.

Semator Perkins was understood 1o be in favor of the appoint- | ment of Coionel J. F. Evans, who was | formerly a speclal agent of the Treasury | Depsrtment, although he never made a formal recommendation. Representative Loud, who had jotned with Senator Per- kins in the, recommendation of Colonel John P. Jackson for Collector of Customs, resolved that he would at least secure one zooa Federal appointment, so he selected a Santa Clara County man (McGraw) for | Surveyor of the Port. But Joseph Spear, | who had been turned down for the Col- lectorship of the Port, was selected for Surveyor, and it was then, as it is now, under-tood that he was the personal | choice of President McKinley and Senator Mark Hanna, on account of services per- | formed at Minneapolis and again at the St. Louis convention. The selection of Spear for Surveyor made Mr. Loud angry with Senator Per- | kins., He declared that when he joined | with Mr. Perkins and the other members of the California delegation in indorsing Jackson for Collector, it was the under- standing that Senator Perkins would not | insist upon Spear’s appointment as Sur- | veyor. But when he ascertained that Spear was selected, he resolved that he would at least dictate the selection of Postmaster at recommended John Daly for tnat office. John D. Spreckels had previously in- dorsed John T. Dare for Appraiser, but when the postmastership became vacant by the death of Frank McCoppin, he con- iuded to recommend Dare for Postmaster, which was likely to make an issue between Spreckels and Loud, but this was happily | settled by the selection of W. W. Mon- | tague for 'ne postoffice, as exciusively an- nounced in THE CALL at that time. Mr. | Spreckels stuck 1o _his friend Dare for the | appraisership, and to-day’s appointment foliowed as a consequence. This mak2s three appointments which Mr. Spreckels | bas secured, namely, Montague, Dare and { Irving B. Dudley of San Diego, as Minister | to Peru. it is believed that Representative Loud will now insist upon tue appoiniment of Barry Morse for United States Marshal. | He is associated in business with Captain Jules Callundan of Alameda; who is Mr. Loud’s son-in-law. There are vet a few plums left, but as | yet no recommendations have bsen filed bere by the California delegation. The | good places left are District Attorney and Marshal, Pension Agent, Emigration Commussioner, Coiner of the Mint, Reg- | ® | istrar of the Land Office and Surveyor- | General.

It szems probable that | Dan Cole will’ be appointed Coiner of the | Mint. H.

H., Sept. 28 —Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, who ciaims to be the origin- ator of Christian science, and is indeea the high priestess of the cult, and who is widely known through her book, *‘Chris- tian Science and Health,”" received by ex- press to-day a remarkable and costly token of the esteem in wh ch she is held in the Middle West. A box came from Mrs. Eddy’s pupils in Kansas City and con- tained a splendid coronet of California gold, enamel and royal purple veivet, elaborately chased in beautiful patterns. On the cutside of the tiara isset a ciuster of flashing gems of great value. The prin- cipal jewels are five handsome solitaire diamonds arranged in the form of a cre the largestin the center. Seven smaller diamonds ana forty-three glistenin: pearls, both large and small, flank the big diamonds, It is a magnificent gift and highly appreciated by Mrs, E idy, but she is wondering what will be a suitable occa- | sion on which she can wear it in public. Mrs, Eddy telegraphed to thank the donors of the coronet, who had succeeded in completely taking her by sarprise. R Change of French Diplomats. PARIS, Fravce, Sept. 28.—M.

From there he came to San Francisco and commenced the study of law. Having been admitted to practice in the Supreme Court he foilow ed in that profession until he received an inyitution from the Government of the Hawaiian kingdom, where he was at once after his arrival made Assistant Attorney-Genera!. On his return to this city he was appointed first assistant district attorney to J. N. E. Wilson. During his incumbency in that office he bad charge of the various grand juries, and so well did he perform the duties of the oftice he represented that he received the thanks of the various bodies before whom he appeared as the repre- sentative of the people. He was appointed as prosecuting attorney in one of the Poiice Courts following this and was then called upon to deal with the public as Deputy Collector of the Port under Timothy G. Phelps when that gentleman was Collector of the Port. Here again Mr. Dare so distinguished nimself by the urbanity of bis character that when a Republican victory was gained at the last election Mr. Dare received the unanimous indorsement of the entire California delezation for the office to which he has just been appointed. prosecuting attorney had been mentioned in connection with Internal Revenue during ihe past vear, Previous to this he served 2 second term as in the court presided over by Judge Joachimsen.

STODIED THE POLICE ABROAD Commissioner Gunst Has Secured Some Good Ideas. Innovations Which He Thinks Should be Employed in San Francisco. Make Market the Finest Street 3 | Upcn Returning He Will Work to | | in the World. | NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 28 —Police Commissioner M. A. Gunst has arrived | here, after some months in Europe. He came on ths City of Paris, and is accom- | panied by his family. Mr. Gunsi went primarily for the cure of a spinal ailment with which he had been troubled. He spent eight weeks at the springs at Badne- heim, Germany, and four at Geasback in the Swiss Alps for an after cure. He says he has been considerably benefited. While abroad Mr. Gunst inspected the police de- partments of London and Paris, and also stayed some time at Berlin finding out what woula be of value to introdyce in San Fraucisco to improve the police ser- vice and otherwise aid the city. Mr. Gunst will advocate a number of striking innovations. | “I went through the department of Lon- don in company with Commissioner Bradbury, and that of Paris with Assist- ant Chief Boulder,” said Mr. Gunst. "The department in London is the greatest in the world, being the best in every way. Next to it is Berlin, which T also visited. In Berlin a policeman must first have served seven years as a soldier. In ail three of these cities in the police depart- ment isthe greatest order and system. “What impressed me most was the cleanliness of the streets and the quiet manner in which the police handled the largest crowds. The police in London have great power and are treated with the greatest respect. I found they controlied the travel of the thoroughfares simply by & motion of the hand. There was no talk- ing. On the day of the jubiiee, in the whole of London there were only two pickpockets arrested and one accident. “I want, if I can get the support of the Board of Bupervisors and others, to bring about many changes in San Francisco. Among these is the removal of all travel, except by carriages and sireetcars, on Market street from the ferries up to, say, Tenth street. I would put everything else. including heavy freight wagons and express wagons, over on Mission street. | Tnen Market street can be improved and kept in order, so it will be the finest thor- oughfare 1n the world. Paris, London, Berlin and other great cities all have re- moved this kind of travel from their best sirest~. San Francisco ougnt to do it, too. The troubie has been nitherio too much fizhting in San Francisco. I hope it will stop and we will all get together. “I don’t believe in most of the so-calied reform movements. Look ‘at this city, look at Chicago—both have been injured by it. It won't do. I would like to see San Francisco’s streets kept cleaner and ; the police improved and 1 will do my besi | to bring about these and other results. I | have & number of things to directly bring | before the board.”” | Mr. Gunst is staying at _the Holland, | where the correspondent of THE CALL met | nim. He spent the biggest part of the | day with his friend, George McCluskey, the new Chief of Detectives. He went through and examined the police depart- ment with him. He will reave here on Sunday, spending a day with William Pinkerton at Chicago, and expects to reach fan Francisco the following Friday. | semblage of municipal CONERESS OF CITY GUARDIANS Mayors of Three Lands Solving Municipal Problems. First on Their List is Street Lighting and Public Ownership. Water and Rallways WiIl Be Taken Up In Thelr Turns by the Convention. COLUMBUS, Ouro, Sept. 28, —The first annual conference of the Mayors and Councilmen of the United States, Canada and Mexico was called to order this morn- ing by Mayor Bannock of this city, about 160 regularly accredited delegates being preseat. Governor Bushnell delivered the address of welcome. Hesaid the Mayors’ Congress would inaugurate anotiier epach. While municipal officials for centuries had dealt with “municipal problems,” even in long- tilied fields, modern methods and careful husbandry can be made to produce boun- tiful harvests, and he knew that this as- offivials counla effect fruitful results by the deliberation of the succeeding days. He continued: “The close of the century seems to find us in a condition wuich presents as many things to be done in our cities and towns as there was at the time of the foundation of the centers of population. No city is now 0 rich in excellent results but that there is room for more wealth in that way. Each urban community has its vexations and its evils; each has some natural diffi- cuity to be overcome, even in the form and method of its government or in ob- jects to be accomplished for the benefit of healtn, economy or utility. Itis not my purpose nor is it my province to discuss even in a general way the various reforms which are presented constantly to our eyes. Mine is the task of expressing a fitting welcome io our visltors to the capital eity.” Mayor C. A. Collier of Atlanta, Ga., re- sponded for the viaitors, presenting the importance of good municipal govern- ment with great force and eloquence. His address was received with enthusiastic appiause. Mayor Black was made chairman of the convention and Editor Gordon of City Government secretgry. Mayor MacVicar of Des Moines read a paper entitied “‘Street Lighting: By Con- tract, Municipal Control or Municipal Ownership—Which?” He said when he undertook to investigate the question of municival ownership he was about as well informed upon the subject as was the farmer’s. good wife who asked her nusband to.bring home some electric plants that they might, by raising their own lights, save kerosene. The local companies made a vigorous cam- paign to defeat the proposition author- izing municipal ownership of a plant in Des Moines. Money and. political in- fiuence were freely used, but the vote was favorable by nearly 3 to1. The plant is not yet built, owing to suits threatened by “prominent” taxpayers under the di- rection and advies of the attorneys ot the local companie-~, e Draco Wins ihe Viiitor’s Plate.

TERRE HAUTE, Ixp., Sept. 28.—The fastest two mile heats ever paced over a track in one day and the fastest quarter ever paced were made here to-day, and yet the world’s pacing record stands as Star, Pointer made it at Readville. In point of track and weather the conditions were just right, but there were unfavor- able circumstances connected with both Star Pointer's and Joe Patchen’s speed trials to-day. In last week’s race at Milwaukee be- tween Pointer and Patchen, the former horse broke his harness in the second heat. In steadying him McClary had to pull hard on Pointer's ulcerated tooth that has troubled him so much of late. A change from a link to a snaffle bit was made to-day, but the horse showed plainly that his mouth troubled him. He got away slowly, and, fearing to hurt his mouth, McClary drove Lim wiae of the pole. From the half on he was squared away, doing the third quarter in :23 and the last half in :58 3-4. Patchen was fit for the race of his life | to-day, bui the pacemaker tailed to come up fast enough, and the first and second | to be slower than; quarters were seen He came the last half secoud, and finished strong and well within himself.
