His answer to the public will be found in an interview which follows: “I never did say that I had the iron- bound, brass-riveted pledge of Gover- nor Budd to name me as Bank Com- oner. As to my competency to as Bank Commissioner Iwillleave who know me to answer. As to the allegation that I sold out the Dem- ocratic nomination for Congress in the Sixth District in 1896 for coin or any personal consideration of any kind or character, T simply say that it is a lie. As to the charge that I made any alli- ance at any time for coin or political Intrigue with Walter L. Webb or any other man it is simply a dastardly falsehood. ‘“The paper that printed this mass of falsehoods will be called upon to prove them in the Superior Court of this county.

Call Office, Riggs House. | ‘Washington, Jan. 21 There is a good deal more in the election of Senator White of Califor- nia as chairman of the Democratic Congressional campalgn committee than appears on the surface. The election of the Californian comes as the culmination of a climax of a heat- ed contest that has been going on in Democratic Congressional circles for control of the committee, and it is a distinct victory for the friends of Joe Bailey. There is bad blood between the Democratic factions. This is no new thing, but in reality dates back to the contest for Democratic leader- ship at the extra session of Congress, when Bailey put a damper on the am- bitions of Benton, McMillin and sev- eral others by capturing the young element and getting a good majority of the votes for the Speakership nom- ination. | The bitterness of feeling that was | ments in favor of the bill. or what had hit them. Some of them hurried to White and told him that he could not throw them down that way, and then they demanded that White be considered as one of the nominees before the meeting. After the vote had been taken and White was found elected by a vote of 18 to 15, the Cali- ornia Senator made an enthusiastic speech of acceptance, in which he made | no reference whatever to the declara- tions he made just before the ballot. Indeed he seemed to have forgotten that he had made any such speech, but | it was not until to-day that the Bailey people were thoroughly convinced that they were not the victims of some gold brick scheme. The vote in detail shows that the Southern members of the com- mittee were largely for White. It leaked out to-day that Jerry Simp- son sought to ally himself with the Demccrats and take a place on the committee. He was at the meeting and found sponsors among the Western men, or some of them. but such a kick was made by some of the Southerners that his sponsors advised him to leave. INTERESTS THE PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST. California Mineral Lands Bill Favorably Considered by the House Committee and Will Soon Be Reported. WASHINGTON Jan. 21.—The Commit- tee on Public Lands this morning, pur- suant of agreement, considered the Cali- fornia mineral lands bill. Congressmen Barham. Hilborn and Maguire appeared before the committee and made argu- Congressman Hartmann of Montana also supported the bill In an able argument. Congressman de Vries, who s a member of the com- mittee, closed the argument in support of the bill and offered in its support the resolutions of the California Miners' As- socfation and the Legislature of Califor- nia. Upon motion of De Vries the bill ‘was unanimously reported favorably. The bill has the united support of the Cali- fornia delegation and bids fair to be- come a law. Representative bill extending the provisions of the De Vries bill to the State of Oregon was also | favorably reported by the committee. Chairman Lacey will prepare the reports on both bills.

Patton has offended against the water company and its tools, and the Herald's attack is the result. His of- fense constitutes the faithful perform- ance of his duty by the San Francisco Call in its work of exposing the com- bine’s attempt to hold up the taxpay- ers and water rate payers of this city, and this is the price he has to pay. I have had the same kind of treatment, and I know how to take it. Mr. Pat- ton’s friends, and they are here by the thousands, know him, however, and this lying attack of the Herald will have no effect on him. He has lived here for fifteen years. He has made his record, and his character is estab- lished. It cannot be taken from him by the assaults of the monopoly press nor by the tool of a corporation which is attempting to put through a deliberate Steal upon the people of this city. I am glad Mr. Patton has decided to sue for libel. That he will get judgment I have not the slightest doubt.” Councilman L. M. Grider: ““Mr, Patton is now getting the same measure of Jus- tice that has been meted out to me by the Herald and its confederates for the last year. This is the price every citi- zen who makes himself more or less prominent in the water fight will have to pay.” The water fight is livening up and is now occupying more space in the syndicated daily newspapers and at- tracting the attention and interest of more people than any local topic that has ever before been discussed in this community. When The Call arrived this morning one local newsdealer at Second: and Main streets placed the paper: upon his bulletin-board and above it he wrote in large lettérs: “Citizens, attention! Read The Call, Tt is battling to save you $2,000,000.” » Within a few moments a crowd con- gregated around the bulletin-board ‘that completely blocked the sidewalk. Passersby were compelled to go into he has done the street. For an hour this continued. | Finally a policeman was called to clea: the sidewalk. He did so, but in a few moments another crowd gathered. Again the pclicemen cleared the walk. But it was with the same result. The people were determined to read the pa- per and its exposure of the contem. plated steal and job. At an early hour all the coples on hand were disposed of and the bulle- tin-board was the only place where readers could see the papers, so they continued to flock about it during the | afternoon. LOUIS SEIDENBERG. HEALDSBURG NEWSPAPER CHANGE. J. J. Livernash and Miss Lizzie Livernash Dispose of the Enterprise. HEALDSBURG, Jan. 2L.—The Healds- burg Enterprise, one of the oldest Demo- cratic journals of Northern Sonoma, and which for the past seven years has been under_the cditorial management of J, J. and Miss Lizzie Livernash, has been sold to W. Harper, late of Washington State. The policy of the paper will remain un- changed. " J. J. Livernash, the retiring editor, has established the California Forester, a monthly exponent of the Foresters of America, in gan Francisco. There has been a constant play with- in the Democratic ranks for positi The men who are after Bailey rly to make a determined capture the Congressional c committee with an i of more, or s useful titution, This committee would, they figured, be in a position to control newly elected mem- fort to mpaign ing that bers of Congress, and the Democrats fondly look for many gains. They jzed that among the present hocrats Bailey has a good major- between these gentlemen or their friends; they are together in a com- mon cause and they have been acting together in their play for control of the Congressional Committee. The real reason Buck Hinrichsen was beaten for place on the committee was because he was regarded as a friend of Bailey. Serene in the belief that he was to rep- | resent Illinois on the committee, Buck had gome quietly ahead .securing pledges of support until he had a ma- jority. The Bailey men began to do some crowing about that time, but they rejoiced too early in the game. They were dealing with men who knew a thing or two about politics. It was this and the Bailey crowd that turned the trick that put old man Hunter on the committee in place of the redoubt- able Buck. Altgeld had nothing to do with it. Hunter was promised a fat | committee place if things worked out | all right. Campbell was against Buck for personal reasons and his decapita- | tion was neatly accomplished. The | eves of the Bailey men were opened. About this time came the announce- ment of the candidacy of Tom McRae of Arkansas for the chairmanship of the committee, and the fine Ttalian hand of Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the National Committee, was dis- covered in the anti-Bailey manipula- tions. He assumed charge of the campaign, whose object was to land some one of the anti-Bailey men in the chairmanship. McRae was preferred because of his | bitter antagonism to Balley, and be- | cause Jones could rely on him at all (times. It was Jones who had those | gold Senators kept on the committee. He knew he could rely on them to vote | against Balley, who is unpleasantly ag- | | gressive on the sflver question, and | | who does not hesitate to criticize when | the notion takes him. Faulkner and | | Smith, Murphy and Mitchell were all | against Balley, so Jones kept them on the committee over the protests of the silver men. All this time the Bailey men were at sea as to their candidate. They talked of Osborne of Wyoming | |and Meyers of Indiana, but the oppo- | sition captured Meyers, by agreeing to make him secretary of the committee. | The suggestiof of Senator White came | | from Maddox of Georgia, who was looking for a compromise man. White | was sounded and found to be all right | ccording to the Bailey standards. He | ould not be used against Bailey, and | hat was the desideratum. This was | |but a day or two before the caucus. White was so strong that the anti- | Bailey crowd decided at the last mo- | | ment to execute a coup and make Sen- | | ator Cockrell of Missouri the candidate | | instead of McRae, and that coup came (very near knocking the Balley plan lin the head. | The Bailey men had an intimation ! of the purposes of the other crowd to | spring Cockrell, but they were hardly | prepared for the turn things took in |the meeting of the committee. The | Cockrell men jumped to the front at |once as soon as nominations were in | Armond’s State in nomination. When, | !a minute after Osborne had nominat- | had their breath knocked out by the declaration of their nominee that un- | candidate against Cockrell. | _In glowing language he painted the | and capped the climax by declarin ! that it would be impossible for him to mitte that it required.

The increase in duty under the present tariff law has, it is claimed, curtailed shipments from Mediterranean ports, and especially in Sicily fruit. So far this year there have been received but” 1800 boxes of the new crop of Sicily oranges., against 4200 boxes for the same time a year ago and 114,000 boxes in 1896, while the quantity now on the way i8 very small. Reports of Valen- cia receipts by comparison with for- mer years do not show such a decided falllng off, though they were consid- erably smaller than in previous years, and, according to advices from Eng- land, wlill, during the balance of the season, be light. Arrivals at English ports, it is stated, show a considerable proportion of poor fruit, and the cost of sound stock, which buyers here, when they come into the market at all, want, is there- by proportionately Increased. Accord- ing to statistics of receipts kept by the Fruit Buyers’ Union arrivals of Valencia oranges at this port from the beginning of the season to date have amounted to about 4000 cases, against 4600 cases for the same period last year and 5700 cases in 1896, but the stock afloat or to be shipped to this port is said to show a much greater deficit. The better output from Florida this year, in connection with liberal ship- ments of California fruit to Eastern consuming markets, which latter are understood to have so far aggregated 2000 cars, has caused a diversion of buying interest to the domestic prod- uct. At present these supplies of all descriptions seem to be in excess of the demand and the market favors the buyer. Rumors of large sales of prunes for arrival from California are not accept- ed by the majority of people in trade with confidence. There has been bet- ter business of late both on spot and future delivery and the market is de- cidedly firmer, but with the possible exception of some good sized purchases by Chicago buyers for shipment from the coast there have been, it is said by weill informed people here, no im- portant transactions. Santa Clara fruit is scarce and seems to be wanted. Northern prunes, it is understood, have sold fairly, but in nothing like the quantity mentioned in some reports. The current situation in prunes is strong and tendency of prices upward. —_——— STRINGENT MEASURES ADOPTED IN BOHEMIA. Police Prohibit the Wearing of Party Badges and Club Uniforms, Under a Heavy Penalty . PRAGUE, Bohemia, Jan. 21.—Owing to the racial embitterment which prevails, the police have prohibited the wearing of party badges and club uniforms, under the penalty of 100 florins fine or fourteen days’ imprisonment. The residence of the manager of the local branch of the Vienna Banking Association was raided last evening by elght youths, who were expelled by the police.

The twenty-round contest between Billy Elmer of San Francisco and Dick Case of Seattle at the Olympic Club to-night | was stopped in the second round by the police. Under the articles of agree- ment the fight was to be a draw should the police interfered before twenty rounds had been fought. Referee Jack Lafferty therefore declared the fight a draw. Although the. fight was declared a draw, Case had Egner practically knocked out before th* police stepped into the ring. Case forced the down twice with left-hand swings on the jaw. - In the second rognd Case put Elmer through the ropes twice, and three times sent him sprawling on the floor.

Belief That the Company Intends to Erect a Union Depot and a Machine Shop. SAN JOSE, Jan. 21.—The Southern Pa- cific Company has purchased twenty- three acres of land in the Polhemus tract, between Polhemus street and Len- zeh avenue, and it is rumored that the company will erect a union depot and extensive machine-shops on the property. The Southern Pacific formerly owned thirteen acres in that tract, and this last purchase, made two days ago, will give it a piece of forty acres. T. F. Montgomery, who sold the land to the raiiroad, could give no definite in- formation as to the object of the railroad in buying the tract. The prevailing opin- fon is that a union depot will be erected at the site, and that the old depots of the broad and narrow gauge trains in this city will be moved there. If such is the case the track on Fourth street will be abandoned, and the trains on the coast road will run over tracks leaving the main line near Hillsdale and come in by the present narrow-gauge depot. A change in the Niles route into the city will also be made. Rumor has it the machine-shops at Newark will be moved to San Jose, and that as soon as the coast route is com- pleted large machine-shops will be run- ning in San Jose. eIV RO R MANY WITNESSES YET TO GIVE THEIR TESTIMOKY.

CARSON, Jan. 21.—The new witnesses found to-day in Douglas County are so many that the Grand Jury investigating the Uber lynching was not able to con- clude its duties, and adjourned until Mon- day, when the taking of testimony will be resumed. John Musser, a half-breed Indian, was expected to testify to-day that he loaned a man a revolver to take g:rt in the lynching; but Musser is not to found, and it is supposed he has been ?lmed away. The star witness for the tate has been found, and will be ex- amined last.

Will Have for an Assistant Professor Cubberley of San Diego. Many Improvements Projected in | This Important University Branch. o Epectal Dispatch to The Call. PALO ALTO, Jan. 21.—The an- nouncement was made by President Jordan this evening that Edward How- ard Griggs, professor of ethics, had been selected as head of the depart- | ment of education, and that Edward | P. Cubberley, superintendent of the San | Diego schools, had accepted the posi- | | tion of assistant professor in this im- | portant department. The move is a | consequential one, for it means a great | change in the department of education. | Professor Griggs will devote himself to | the history of education and civiliza- tion. He ‘will also carry on his work | in ethics. The coursp that Professor Cubberley will give have not yet been | decided on. Since Professor Barnes got his leave | of absence, which was followed by his | resignation, there has been no perma- nent head to this department, Dr.| Starbuck having filled the place tem- porarily. Professor Griggs, the new head of the department of education, was gradu- ated from Indiana University in 1889, | and received his master degree the| next year. He was attached to the faculty of Indiana University for four years, after which he spent two years | in study in the University of Berlin. In 1895 he was called to the chair of ethics in Stanford University. He is | well known throughout the State for his great ability as a lecturer, and was designated “The Ideal Man” by Rev. | Anna Shaw. Professor Edward P. Cubberley, the | newly appointed assistant professor of | education, is a man of great practical | experience. He graduated in 1888 from | the U ersity of Indiana, where he| was a pupil of Dr. Jordan. Before | taking the superintendency of the San Diego schools he filled a chair in the | Vincennes University.

N0 DOG SAFE IN FRESNO NOW Purloining of Canines by Prospective Klondik- ers Continues. Two - Prominent Young Men Arrested for Steaiing a St. Bernard. Numerous Valuable Animals Have Disappeared and Their Owners Are Enraged. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. FRESNO, Jan. 21.—Owing to the big | demand for suitable dogs for the Klon- | dike, larceny of the animals is becom- ing very common and any dog of suf- | ficient size to haul a sled is not safe | in Fresno, whether he is a prized household animal or valuable in the field or the chase. The dog, once con- sidered a howling nuisance in Fresno, is now looked upon in admiration and | covetousness by many people who dis- cuss his points as to strength and en- | durance. The demand for canines suit- | able for team work in Alaska has caused owners of fine dogs consider- able apprehension during the last two weeks. A heavy, stocky, shaggy- haired youns animal will bring from $30 to $50, and as high as $100 has been offered for a dog regarded as especially good for work. Canines containing the predominat- ing characteristics of the St. Bernard, shepherd and Newfoundland, although | of unrecorded ancestry, are the favor- ites with the persons getting up teams. | Such animals weigh from 80 to 100 pounds, have long shaggy hair, and possess strength and endurance. Many persons have been making a business of stealin~ valuanle dogs and selling them to parties preparing to go to the Klondike, and in some cases the prospective Klondikers themselves have bee-. guilty of canine larceny. To-day George W. McDonald, the irate owner of a stolen dog, swore out a warrant for the arrest of Wes Moore and Frank Wyatt for stealing his prized St. Bernard, and the young men, both of whom are well known in the city, were taken to Madera. There they were fined $14 which they paid. Moore and Wyatt had gone to McDonald's place and offered to buy a large dog owned by him. McDonald was not at home, and his wife refused to sell the | that the dog would be a good ome to steal. The next morning the animal was missing, and it was later found in the possession of Moore and Wyatt in Fresno, where they were training dogs for use in Alaska. They refused to surrender the St. Bernard, claiming they had bought it. McDonald told the men he would get the dog, d them, too. The dog was found among a lot of twenty-eight which belonged to the Garrison party. Many other valuable canines are missing, and a search is being made for them among the differ- ent dog training places, of which there are several. N. P. Justy lost a valuable St. Ber- nard. Letter Carrier Bishop paid $5 for a dog last night and this morning it was stolen. Another prized St. Ber- nard, the roperty of the Rochon Sa- loon. was taken several nights ago, but escaped captivity and returned to its master. The owners of valuable dogs have concluded to vigorously prosecute all dog thieves. Lost Most of His Teeth. SAN RAFAEL, Jan. 21.—C.

Special Dispatch to The Call. FRESNO, Jan. 21.—Fresno is at present flooded with a very crude counterfeit nickel. It is belleved that the counter- feiters have their plant a few miles from this city, where they turn out by the hundred bogus 5-cent pleces. The spuri- ous coin is evidently made for the pur- pose of defrauding the nickel-in-the-slot machines which are to be found In nearly every saloon and cigar stand in the city. The nickels are too crudely made to be passed successfully, although some of them might be taken without notice if the receiver happened to be in a hurry. As those who have them use them al- most_exclusively in_playing these ma- chines, it is very difficult to catch those who pass_the cheating nickels on the devices. Nearly every night when the earnings of the machines are counted up some of the countepfeit pleces are found in the receptacle. The local officers are working on the case, and they have a strong suspicion as to where the counterfeiting is done. Secret Service Agent Harris was in town several days ago, and it is believed that his mission was to assist the local offi- cers in ferreting out the counterfeiting dog. She heard one of the men say | gang. “Not to Be [mproved Upon in Purify and Cleanliness of Manufacture.” Of how few things can this be said and yet Prof. E. S.
