This feel- has now become so strong that an actual wail of terror had been created, which, up to the present time, has seem- ingly been impregnabls, but a breach has | at last been made therein. | By reason of past experiences it Las been difficult to make the good and pub- | pirited citizens of San Jose compre- hend that the present crusade of THE CarrL in beha'i of good and economical govern- | ment is to be carried on until the desired acbieved, regardless of labor, time expense. That some, however, hav come to this conclusion is indicated by their expressions of opinion as set forth in the interviews which are given here- 8 ¢ , men ot long residence, gh commercial standing, of unques- | d integrity, of public spirit; these | who are in closest 10! with one of greatest interesis of t city of San se, the county of Santa Clara, declare | ith one voice that San Jose is gang- | that the gang is a set of boodlers; these facts are generally known and scknowledged; that the existing condi- tions have prevented San Jose from mak- ing the progre:s that it should have made with all its great advantages; that the time bas come when a change must be made, and that TuE C present cru- sade has been inaugurated opportunely | and is being conducted along the proper es. 1 The interviews follow: iam S. Clayton of the firm of James A. Clayton & Co., real estate and 1insu 34 West Santa Clara avenue—"I that it is a very good idea that the newspapers have begun a crusade against | the present government, because it has | been open to many criticisms. If we start in properly at the next election and put up respectable people as councilmen and city officers and keep the offices re- syectable from the very start it will add wonderfully to the permanent reputation of the city and will have a wonderfully beneficial effect on outsider s. The great | objection on the partof the people out- | in Jose to be made | side of the limits of & part of Greater San Jose is on account of | the corruption that exisis in this city some of the city officials, the reck- les diture of public money and the | lack o: system in the expenditures that has prevailed. Ido not think the outside districts will ever vote to come inside the | city limits until there is better control [ over pubiic expenditures. | *As soon as it is brought to the notice | of visitors that we have a large corps of | non-producers in the shape of politicians they immediately know that tnere must | be some source from which s gang ob- tains aliving, and as individuals de not contribute much to their support it isvery clear that it must be from the public iunas that they derive their incomes, The pres- entcondinons are certainly no: favorable to inducing newcomers to -ettle, and they donot appeal to the tourist to take up hisabode nere.” Guy H. Salisbury, realestate and 1nsur ance, 12 North Second str “Tiere is evidently a nigger in the fence som=where. I, us one of the advo- es of the new charter, do not believe it isin t at instrument.”’ Joseph H. Rucker of Joseph H. Rucker & Co., real estate and insurance, 8 North First sireet: “I feel that our City Council a disgrace to the city, owing to the wayv b 8 s members conduct themselves, I fully realize that the publication oi thes: things is injurious to Jose, but if their pubtica.ion will enable us to rid our- selves of them tbey certainly ought to be published. I thirk that things are so cor- that something muy be done tc remedy the situation. I think much can be done, especially in the cily, to improve the present conditions. The meetings of the Ccuncil are something I am ashamed of for the sake of the city. I cannotcom- pre end men act as those men do, tec think they should be ashamed of ther es. “libink THe CaLy's work will do good, no matter wh ts motives are, because it will at least check the present great ex- travagazcs.’’ Mitchell Phillips, capitalist and large property-owner: [ have no hesitation in saying that the best citizens of San | Jose are in full sympathy with the cru- sade that THE CALL has undertaken. One of the features ot our city government that most deserves censure is the undig- n fied procesdings of the Council. Its members show an utter disregard for de- | cency and have apparently become cal- lous to public sentiment, owing to their long continued excmption from inter- forence, Their business methods are also open to the severest criii- cism. Sireet contracts are let with- out competition, useless expendilures ure indulged in and general extravagance 1s permitied without aoparent effort to check 1t. Ten years ago, before the advent «f the present gang, San Jose was without debt. To-day its bonded and floating in- debtedness is considerably more than a quarter of a million dollars.” C. M. Wooster of Wooster & Whitton, real estate, loans and insuranc', 7 West Santa Clara street: “1 belicve there should be no politics in the managemcent of municipal affairs, It is evident that the city government has been conducted in the interest of machine politics rather tban in the interest of tne taxpayers.

C. Phillips had been arrested on suspicion of having beeax implicated 1n a recent burziary and had been taken in the patrol ‘When the wagon reached the jail Officer Wells met it and told Phillips to get down. Phillips re- sponded by drawing a revolver and shoot- ing Wells through the body. He then ran across the street.

The Murderer’s Case Now in a Deplorable and Hope- less Tangle. Unless Warden Hale Executes the Man He May Have to Answer for Contempt. Speclal Dispatch to THE CALL SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Nov. 28— Next Friaay is the day set for the execu- tion of Joseph J. Ebanks, the triple mur- derer from 8an Diego, but owing to the tangle that the Judges, wardens and at- terneys have managed to get into there is little prospect that the condemned man will mount the gailows. Ebanks is in Murderers’ Row eating, sleeping and growin«- fatter every day at the expense of the taxpayers of the State, and when Le will be called upon to again climb the long flight of stairs to the death chambers at the foot of the gallowsis a question hard to answer. Warden Hale isalso ata loss to give a reply to it, for when he was asked to-day be =aid he | didn’t know, and as to hanging Ebanks next Friday he would act solely upon the advice of the Attorney-General. But Ebanks 1s not worrying over his fate. knows that if he goes to the condemed chamber it will be only for a short time, when he will again come out of the door through which he entered and once more take up his quarters with the other felons convicted of murder. The Ebanks caseis in a hopeless muddle, and while one court has ordered the man to be exrcuted another has rendered it possible for the murderer to escape the penalty, and up in the Bupreme Court of the State the Justices are debating whether Captain John C. Edgar should be made to pay a $200 fine for not hanging Ebanks when he was first ordered to do so by Judge Torrence of San Di=go. Captain Edgar was then acting warden of San Quentin Prison and the execution of Ebanks devolved upon him, but, as the puplic is aware, Ebanks was not hanged and his attorneys by appealing to the U nited States Supreme Court managed to obtain a stay of judgment and Ebanks was spared for a time at least the ignomy of death upon the gallows. The abuse of habeas corpus proceedings and the obtaining of stavs upon frivolous appeals to the higher courts is illustrated only too plainly in the Ebanks case. The prisoner commitied cold-blooded murders, taking the lives of an aged man and woman, neither of whom was physically able to offer resistance. The couple were sbot only that Ebanks might rob them of the few cents they had about them. While for these murders only Ebanks was convicted, he also murdered an old man and stole a watch from him. For this latter crime he was not tried. After Ebanks had been convicted and sentenced to death by Judee Torrance, and while he was still in Sheriff Jennings’ control in the 3an Diego County Jail he made a con- fess'on in which he told in minute detail to Sheriff Jennings and others how he commitied the deed which ended the lives of Mrs, Stiles and her aged father. Ebanks asserted that he killed the old man firet, and then murdered the woman for fear she would tell about the crime. He gave her time to pray, and when she bad finished he shot her with the same pistol which, a few minutes before, had sent her father to his final resting-place. It 1s for such a man as this that the gal- lows at 8an Quentin is yearning in vain.

Count Badeni Instructed the Turbulent Body of Law- makers. EXCITING SCENES IN THE VIENNA STREETS. Police and Hussars Charge the Crcwds and Many Persons Are Badly Wounded. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. VIENNA, Nov. 2 The Austrian Min- istry to-dav tendered their resignations to Emperor Francis Joseph, who accepted them and entrusted Baron Gautsch, who holds the portfolio of public institutions in the retiring Ministry, with the task of forming anew Cabinet. This morning Emperor Francis Joseph addressed an autograph letter to Count Badeni decreeing the adjournment of the Reichsrath until further orders. During the assembling of the Reichs- rath dense masses of people, for the most part workingmen, thronged the Ring- strasse from the university to the outer gate of Hofburz. A charge by the mounied police, with drawn swords, fail- ing to disperse them, a body of Lussars cleared the streets at this point, many persons being wounded. The ambulance society immediately sent two vans to at- tend the injured. : About the same time at least 2000 people | gather in front of the Town Hall and the Provincial Criminal Court to demonstrate in favor of Herr Wolff, who was to have been arraigned there on a charge of pnblic violence commited yesterday when being removed from the Unterhaus by the po- Iice, acting under instructions from Presi- dent Von Abrahamovics. The poiice, with drawn swords, dispersed them, one | man’s skull being fractured and two | ambuiance was sent to that point, Simultaneously meetings of workmen were hellin various quarters of the city, but the police dissolved these, making twelve arrests. This street became more | quiet during the afternoon, but at sunset thousands reassembled in the Franceseing | and the Rathhaus Park, where they in- | dulged 1n stormy protests azainst the Government., Suddeniy achange came over the scene. The report spread like wildfire that Count Baaeni had resigned. The demonstra- tions ceased almost instautly when tha news was confirmed by the police author- ities and their subordinates, who an- nounced to the people at various points | that they were instructed to inform them of the Cabinet's resignation. D-. Lueger, the Burgomaster of Vienna, driving through the crowds, announced | the resignation {rom his carriage, report- ingit a little later frem the windows of the Town Hall with the addition that Herr Gautsch had been appointed to form a | Cabinet. He appealed tc the people to re- turn quickly to the homes. His announcement was greeted with thunders of applause,and an extra edition of the Wiener Z-itung with an official statement of the resignation still further reassured the people. Upward of 3000 people tried to organize a demonstration in the early evening in front of the Foreign Office building, but this was prevented by closing the ap- proaches to the palace. After 8 o’clock the city was quiet. The Judge of the Pro- vincial Criminal Court discharged Herr Wolff from castody. Tnere were demonstrations also at Gratz, Prague and Bohmnia, but they were not of a serious character. A POLIGEHAN CLUBBED. Officer Owen Heffernan Attacked by Two Men in a Saloon, Were Dressed at the Receiv- ing Hospital Police Officer Owen Heffernan was se- verely beaten last evening by a crowd of half-drunken men in a saloon at Jessie and Anthony streets. About 11:30 he was notified that a disturbance was taking place in the saloon and he immediately went to restore quiet and disperse the crowd. He walked in and ordered the party to either cease their noise orelse vacate the saloon. He was met with curses and threats, and when he again gave his orders the men became threaten- | ingin their manner. X Two of the crowd took hold of the offi- cer and relieved him of his pistol and re- volver, while the others looked on and en- joved the unusual sight of seeing a police offic r hold the under band. The man who had the claub soon com- menced to beat the oificer over the head, and after a few moments rushed out into the street followed by his associates. Hef- fernan staggered out of the saloon and went to the nearest police alarm box and rang in for the patrol wagon. When it ar- rived it was seen that the officer was badly hurt, and he was taken hurriedly to the Receiving Hospital. An examination showed that the officer bad sustained two severe scalp wounds. Dr. Bunuell dressed the hurts and the in- jured man was taken to his home. The parties who made the attack were not ar- rested, as no one who was in the saloon at the time of the attack was able or wiliing to give either the names or descriptions of the men who committed-the assault. —————— Insane on Hiy Wedding Evs. WALNUT CREEKK, Nov. 28.—John Palmer, a clerk employed at McMahon’s store in Martinez, who was to have been married 10 a lady there to-dry, left hi¢ home last night and was found n-ar this place in & condition which shows his mind became unbalanced. RELIANCE AGAIN FALLS T0 BUTTE Oakland’s Long-Haired Athletes Beaten in a Fast Game. Mountaineers Gain the Vic- tory With a Single Touchdown. Dispute Nsar ths Cioss Contributes to the Defeat of the Callfornians. Epecial Dispatch to THE CALL. BUTTE, Moxt.,, Nov. 28.—Not satisfied with their victory of Thankseiving day, the Butte football team gave Reliance its ‘‘revenge’ to-day by defeating the coast team by 4 to 0. It was not an ideal foot-| bull day. It would have suited very well for a skating tournament or polo on the ice. The thermometer down on the “flats’” was just zero, and the ground was covered with about four inches of snow, which was ¢old enouzh to have been kept on ice for a week. Not only was the ground cov- ered, but the seats as well. The spectators therefore suffered more than the players, whose inconveniences were limited to their hands. Every time there was a rush, a tack!e or a mix-up the under men in the heap emerged from the pile with appearance of having come from a snow drift. Despite the cold, the weather was clear, the sun bright and there was no smoke nor wind. The attendance was limited to about 500, but 1t was noisy and enthusiastic, and showed its appreciation of the second victory of the home team over the coast champions. On account of the cold, the halves were shortened to twenty minutes each by mu- tual agreement. Butte kicked off in the tirst half, and the ball went right into one corner of Reliance’s territory. Retiance, by hard work and line bucking, worked it back to near the center of the field. Here Butte got the ball and seemed to have no | trouble whatever going through the vis- itors’ lme. Little by little the. home players worked the ball along to within six or eight yards of tbe Reliance goal. Then Dygert, one of the Butte halfbacks, got 1t and went through the line for the rest of the distance for a touchdown. Rickards, the other halfback, who was holding the ball for the goal kick, let go of it just as King kicked and the goal was mi-sed. Reliance now kicked the ball well into | Butte's territory, and from then to the | end of the half the fight was there. Tle visitors lost the ball only once, and then | Batte did not succeed in_ keeping 1t long. Reliance resorted to bucking, and with great success, having no trouble whatever eoing through the Butte line. The gains were small, however, ana the visitors had only succeeded in etting the ball to | Butte's 10-yard line when the time of the | first hali was over. In the second Lalf there were no re- markable features outside of thestubborn fighting. The ball was kicked into the yisitors’ field and there the battie raged. Butte was on the defensive most of the time, seemingly making no effort to keep the ball, but being content to keep the yisitors from making such headway. This was evilent from the fact that when the home players got possession of the ball, instead of trying to muke advances and bold the advantage, they punted often to keep the ball in the visitors' territory. The greatest run of the game was that made bv Carter, lefit half back for Reli- ance. He went through Butte’s line for about thirty yards and was getting well zinto Butte’s ground when Dygert grabbed him and downed him. But for the time and advantage lost in a dispute, there is no telling but that Reli- ance may have scored. The half wa- drawing to a close and the ball was about in the cenier of Butte’s ground. Butte had it, and, after two down, failed to make any gain. Benson, captain for Butte, punted the ball over the Butte line. It struck a Re- liance man, wno failed to grab it, and it vounded bick toward Buite, Dygert caughtit and held it. Both teams claimea possession and there was a long dispute. The referee finally decided in favor of Butte and the Reliance players quit the field and refuse to proceed. They were finally gotten back on a compromise, by the terms of which the Reliance got the ball and Butte a gain of five yards. It was within five minutes of the end of the half. Reliance punted nearly to Butte’s goal, where Dygert ot the bail and took it back to the 15-yard “line. There Butte began to gain, but had only gotten the bali to the 20)4-yara line when the second half was over. The teams lined np 2s follows: Posltion. Jen Entte. Reliance. ~Quarterbs _Lef. halfback .

HAVANA (via Key West), Nov. 28— On the night of November 23 a band of insurgents entered the town of Santa Maria del Rosario, Havana Province, and under cover of darkness remained three hours, plundering one store.

BRITISE KNEES BEND 0 SLOAN Jockey Tod the Lion of the Hour in England. Lives More Magnificently Than Princes Sheltered at Hotel Cecil. Announces That He Will Visit €an Francisco.Durirg the Winter. Special Dispatch to THE CALL LONDON, Nov. 28 —No American celebrity who has appeared in London in recent years has cut a larger figure ir the public eye than Tcd Sloan, the jockey, who continues to pile up a phenomenal re cord of victories, often winning on dark horses. It isSloan’s manner of iving and training even more than his race-track ach fevements which inspires comment among the Briti<h sporting gentry, not to mention the public at large. The little jockey lives at the Great Cecil Hotel in almost the luxury of a bimetallic commis- ioner.s He has chartered a suite of four handsome apartments, the most expen- sive in this very expensive hotel, and here, surrounded by his exte nsive outfit of trunks and the retinue of those fair- weather friends who are always willing to share the earnings of success, and at- tended by his valet, he maintains a style greater than is ascumed by a half dozen continentai princes who are sheltered un- der the ssme roof. | His desk is piling up daily this wee k | with trlegrams from the most pro minent horsemen of England, asking bim in ur- | gent terms to ride their horses for every | race, so that heé finds it impossible to | accept half the engagemants offered him | during his stay in Engiand. He an-| nounces that he will finish riding here | about the 1st of January, will indulee ina few days’ shooting in the country, thence go to Paris for a visit, thence to Monte Carlo forafew days, then home and to the Pacitic Coast for the winter racing. O! his English experiencesand his re- czption by Britisn sportsmen the Ameri- can jockev talks mpst enthusiastically. | He does not, however, indorse Pierre Lorillard’s verdict that tne sport is cleaner and more straightforward in England than in the United States. “I do not see any difference between sport in Eugland and in the Uniied Btates,” he said to a representative of the Associated Press. “Most men in both | countries go in to win, while there are, 1 suppose, horsemen 1n both countries who may take advaatage of tricks if they see | thsir way clear todoso. To say that turle men of England are more honest as a ciass than those of America i= a mistake. Prebably Mr. Lorillard felt bound to say what he did because he is racing in Eng- land. If he were racing in the United Slates he would probebly talk the other way."” The complaintso!f Englicsh papers that Sloan was setting a bad example by bet- | ting on the races, he declared, were merely attempts of English sporting writers to get him into trouble because ue was a foreigner. But Sloan has been fiercely criticised because he leans far for- ward on the horse instead of sitting straight, as do the British riders. He as- serts that he varies his style with each horse he rides, and he cares more for re- sults than for <tyle. Finanecially Sloan says that America is a better field than England, as-erting that he can make $75,000 2 year at home, while his earnings her-are not up to that figure. HARES sHUW THEIRE HEELS.

Publishes Several Missives Anathematizing French Soldiers. FEATURE OF THE DREYFUS SCANDAL. Bitter Words Charged to the MA Accused by the Exile’s Friends. Special Dispatch to THE CALL. PARIS, Nov. 28.—The Figaro caused a sensation to-day in connection with the Dreyfus affair by pubiishing several let- ers purporting te have been written by Comte Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy, who 1as been accused by M. Scheurer-Kestner, one of the Vice-Presidents of the Senate, of being the author of the unsigned letter which led to the condemnation of Drey- fus. In one of them, after expressing his intention to enter the Turkish service, Comte Esterhazy is reported as saying: ] shall not leave without having played a trick of my own on those amiable Frenchmen.” Other passages illustrating the charac- ter of the letters follows: “Qur cowardly and ignorant great chiefs will go once more to people German pris- ons.”” “Ishould be perfectly happy if I were told [ was to be kilied to-morrow as a captain of Uhlans sabering Frenchmen.’” ©I am capable of great things or crimes if that could avenge me. I would not harm a little dog, but I would have a hun- dred thousand Frenchmen killed with pleasure.” Comte Esterhazy proceeds to say that “Frenchmen are not worthy of the car- triages intended to kill them,”” and he conjures up ‘‘x dream of festivity’”’ in the shape of the pillage of Paris by 100,000 drunken so!diers. Interviewed by reporters to-day as to the publications in the Figaro of letters purporting to be of his authorship, he displayed great indignation and declared that they were forged by the friends of Dreyfus, who, he said had taken words and sentences irom his letters and pieced them together by a process with which he was acquainted. He said, also, that he had been warned some days back that such a publication would be made. Le Jour doubts the authenticity of the letters.
