Gentlemen: It was but terday fore- noon that I was made acquainted with election. Another petition filed to-day was that of J. W. McCauley, a candi- date for Councilman in the First Ward. J. D. Miner is reported to be out with a petition for Councilman at large. The following signed statements are made by reform candidates: I see through the columns 0f your paper that 1 have been nominated by the New Charter Club for Councilman at Large. It has not been through any solicitation on my part, for I have spoken to no per- son on the subject, and my fellow-citizens have seen fit to select me for that. posi- tion. 1 consider it to be my duty to cheer- fully accept the trust, and, if elected, it will be my firm belief that the whole new charter ticket will be, and I will use my utmost exertions to help run the affairs | of the city in an impartial, honest and businesslike manner; to see that those who are now in the employ of the city are qualified for their respective posi- tions, as well as being sober and indus- trious, and not to employ two men to do one man's work; and to carefully esti- mate the amount of revenue for the year and keep our expenses within our in- come; to see that all materials for work to be done for the city is properly adver- tised, so as to give every citizen a fair show to bid. To prevent, if possible, collusion in the | awarding of contracts, and where there is anything which would indicate any such collusion to throw the bid out, as, for in- stance, the contract for buiiding the Ju- lian street sewer. The engineer's esti- mate for that work was $10,500, which in- cluded 30 per cent for profit for the con- hen the bids were opened the lowest was $12,900, and the contract | was let for that amount, which would | suggest to all men honestly inclined that the Council was derelict in its duty and was not looking out for the city’s inter- ests. | "To exercise judgnient and care in the | improvement of our streets so as to ar- rive at the most satisfactory and perma- | nent resuits with the least expense to the | city or citizen who has to pay for the same.

It is pos- sible that the larger body may not so readily agree upon all the candidates 'as the committee has done. It would there- fore be premature to-day to accept the names agreed upon last night as the Charter Club ticket. There may be more or less change in its make-up. | ~But at present this much may be said. i The committee has presented a list of candidates that almost without exception are men of solid standing and repute in this community. We do not propose to discuss them individually to-day. We will let that wait the formal completion of the ticket, its acceptance and promulgation by the club. But it is on the whole a good ticket. We do not see on it the names of any political hacks, chronic office seekers or “professional purifiers.” The News says: The nominating committee of the Char- ter Club made a very good selection of candidates. The affairs of thé city would be in safe hands if the ticket is chosen, providing none of the candidates find it necessary, in order to secure election, to tie themselves to influences which it is the determination of the people to steer clear of. The example set by the Charter Club will have to be followed by the Dem- ocrats and the Republicans, if they wish to win in the spring election. The strong- | est men will have to be put forward, and | men who have not been mixed up in petty politics in the past. RUNNING FIGHT WITH A BOLD BICYCLE THIEF. vEscar;es From a New Hope Con- stable and Is Only Recaptured After a Battle. STOCKTON, Feb. 24.—The news of a running fight between an escaped crim- inal and officers at New Hope has reached here. The escape was arrested by Deputy Constable Aw this afternoon for the theft of a bicycle from this city. Awre telephoned here this morning for informa- tion in regard to the wheel and then started out in pursuit. He finally came upon and after a neat coup arrested the eriminal, who was armed with a pistol, disarmed him and brought him back to New Hope, where, according to the re- port, Awre left him in charge of another man while he went to change his clothes to bring the prisoner to this city on the evening train.

Hubbard Makes a Somewhat Startling Statement. | Premier Meline Replies to the | Various Interpellations Made. |JUSTIFIES GEN. BILLOT. After the Dreyfus Case Is Touched Upen a Vote of Confidence 1s Duly Given. Special Dispatch to the Call. PARIS, Feb. 24—The Chamber ofi | Deputies was thronged to-day, and it | | was decided to request the Premier, Meline, to immediately discuss the in- | terpellations of MM. Hubbard and | Gautier relative to the conviction and sentence of M. Zola yesterday. M. Hubbard . (Radical) asked whether Generals Pellienx and Boisedeffre had | intervened at the trial by authorization | or by order of the Minister of War, General Billot. The Deputy spoke, amid | | incessant interruptions, on the danger | of a religious war, and concluded by in- viting the Government to end the fu- mult and rioting in the streets. M. Viviani declared that the Social- ists, although they might be divided | relative to the Dreyfus case, weve in | | entire accord in regard to the preroga- | tive of civil over military power. The | speaker then referred to the collation | of the chiefs of the army with 'the ‘clcrgy, and expressed the belief that | liberty was menaced. Therefore, he | asked the Chamber to protest against the attitude of the generals. (Applause from the leftists and uproar from the centrists.) M. Meline replied: “Popular demo- | cratic justice has given a verdict after | & military court, and you will accept | | it. General Billot, Minister of War, | gave no order to generals summoned to | testify before the tribunal of the coun- | try. One general had been accused on account of his utterances. Undoubtedly he spoke a word too much, but you | i | must remember the frightful charge | thrown in his face.” | | Continuing, M. Meline said the | | charges made against the army were unjust, and he asserted that there was not a single officer who had been | guilty of plotting against the country, even in his dreams, adding: “Our offi- cers are haunted by other dreams.” (Cheers.) “If, after yesterday's verdict,” the | Premier further remarked, “the agita- | tion continues we shall know that the matter has been made a party ques- tion. Enough injury had already been done to the nation. The life of the na- tion has been arrested. A portion of | the foreign press has gathered all the | ill we have been saying among our- | selves. It will always be punishment for those who speak ill of France to receive foreign applause. Every day there are cases of espionage abroad. Did the French press get excited about | them as the foreign press did about | Dreyfus?” | M. Goujon moved that M. Meline's | speech be posted throughout France, ! and the motion was adopted. | M. Cavaignac, the former Minister, then reproached the Government with not uttering the whole truth at the trial and with insufficiently defending the officers. He also said he wanted a powerful army, but one subordinate to civil power. The debate was then closed and sev- eral motions presented. The Premier | | accepted a vote of confidence in the Government and approving of the dec- | larations of the Government, the vote | standing 461 ayes to 40 noes. | | THE SYMPHONY CONCERT In the programme of yesterday's sym- | phony concert at the Tivoli Mr. Scheel’s | band was most completely finished and | satisfying in Beethoven's ‘Coriolanus” overture. It has been said before in these columns that Mr. Scheel not only | is the best all-round leader who ever identified himself with music in San Francisco, but far and away the best Beethoven player. We have had better | programme makers. Mr. Hinrichs was almost a model in that line. And of the two Mr. Hinrichs is perhaps the better Wagner leader. But on the whole Mr. Scheel’s leadership stands locally un- rivaled, and in the reading of Beethoven no one else who has been here since Theodore Thomas is to be mentioned in the same type with him. He has the in- stinct and magnetism, and he has the erudition, too. It used to be said by the frowsy-haired croakers of the craft, the solled soap-shunners who inspire the common belief that musicilan and man | are no closer kin than alliteration, that Scheel was a false alarm; that hlsr :n— | te ations were mere imitations of fa- ::)?ll;etl:}uropenn leaders; that he would | fall to pieces if ever he attempted to bring out a work with which he had no previous acquaintance. Scheel got more than the usual share of brotherly love. But he had his revenge a few weeks ago when he played the Tschaikowsky sym- Phony—a work new to him and to the | world, and one that he played with mas- | terly analysis and authority. Since then | the growlers have been almost heard to cease. Their last feat was to offer trust- ful reporters an account of Scheel’'s em- bezzlement and elopement, when in truth he had mkerl] nothing more evil than a veek’s vacation. “%’ee‘gtserday Mr. Scheel played the ““Cori- olanus” overture with discriminate virtu- osity; he kept well within the dignity and huge poise of the major part of the work, ang gave full swing to impulse in the closing measures, maklnf of them an ex- quisite pathos; and it is reasonable to suppose the interpretation was his own. Moszkowskl's symphonic suite, “Joan of Arc." was creditably done, considering that rehearsals of it had been necessarily few by reason of delay in the coming of the score; especially creditable in the march and the final movement, and espe- cially dull In the slow movement—descrip- tive of Joan’s inner strife and visions of the past—which was made to sound un- lawfully dismal. Rubinstein’s “Music of the Spheres” was given in place of the announced Saint Saens poem. It could not have been re- hearsed very. often. The concert closed with the scenes of Wotan's farewell and the fire magic from “Walkure.” This Wagnerian excerpt was played with ur- gent dramatic feeling, and, bar a few shortcomings in the violins, was, perhaps, as interesting as is possible to make it t the actors and the scenery. | ithout e "ABHTON STEVENS., | single-breasted sack suit.
