POETIC WORDS FOR PEACE Sentiment' Expressed by Great Britain’s Poet Laureate. roximit ai ( and Brit Copyrighted, 1898, by James Gordon Bennett. LONDON, March 28.—The Herald's European edition publishes the follow- ing poem from the pen of Alfred Aus- tin, the British poet laureate: What is the voice I hear On the wind of the Western sea? Sentinel, listen from out Cape Clear, And say what the voice may be. *Tis a proud, free p\‘o&)le calling loud to a people proud and free, And it says to them: Kinsmen, hail! We severed have been too long: Now let us have done with a worn-out e of an anclent wrong, friendship last long as love doth last and be stronger than death is strong. Answer them, sons of the self-same race, And blood of the self-same clan, Let \;s speak with each other, face to ace And answer as man to man, And loyally love and trust each other as none but free men can. Now fling them out to the breeze, Shamrock, thistle and rose, And the Star-spangled Banner unfurl with these, A message to friends and foes, ‘Wherever the sails Deace are seen and wherever the war wind blows. A message to bond and thrall to wake, For wherever. we come, we twain, The 1hm'ne of the tyrant shall rock and quake, And his menace be void and vain, For you are lords of a strong young land and we are lords of the main. Yes, thl}fi is the voice on the bluff March v gale: We severed have been too long; But now we have dono with a worn-out ale, - The tale of an anclent wrong, And our friendship last long as love doth last and be stronger than death is strong.

In the brief and simple language of our Penal Code, it 1s enacted, ‘That every per- son guilty of murder in the first d_egroe shall suffer death or confinement in the State Prison for life, at the discretion of the jury trying the same. In your case the jury failed to exercise any dis- cretion by returning a verdict, ‘Guilty of murder in the first degree’; hence, there can be no other judgment pro- nounced by the court than that of death. “The ccntemplation of the enormity of your guilt, although it cannot save you from the penalty of your crime, may nevertheless serve as a means to arouse your conselence and enable you to seek repentance and forglveness from a God of mercy, who, T believe, is now ycur only refuge and hope.” Clark was then sentenced to be hanged at San Quentin on June 3 After being taken to his cell the con- demned man cried like a child. He said to the Sheriff that he would like to see Mrs. Clark and her children. WKINLEY BURNED IN EFFIGY IN COLORADO How the People of Durango Ex- pressed Disapproval of the President’s Course.

Mistake of the Boss in Ap- pointing a ‘“Campaign Committee.” Names Members Without Consulting Them and Many Refuse to Sarve. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JO£i3, March 28.—Every day sees added strength given to the cause of ~00od and economical government as represented in the candidacy of the New Charter Club ticket, and added desperation given to the efforts of the “gang” and its members in behalf of the people’s municipal ticket. The latest indulgence of the “gang” in “ways that are dark” is the an- nouncement in the ‘‘gang” organ to- day of what is termed a “general cam- | paign committee.” In the list of names published are those of a few who are known to be notoriously under the con- trol of the boss, but also many who have hitherto not shown any traces of his collar. No facts are given to show by whom, when or where this commit- tee was selected or appointed. A can- vass among a number of the men men- tioned as comprising the committee elicited the information that they had never even been consulted in the mat- ter and had absolutely no knowledge of their selection other than the publica- tion in the Mercury this niorning. Quite a number of them stated that they would certainly decline to serve or support the “gang” ticket, dubbed the People's Municipal Ticket, or any of the candidates thereon. There was also published in the ‘“gang” organ what is alleged to be the platform of the ‘“gang” ticket. The first plank in this reads as follows: “Having given our undivided support to the adoption of the new Charter from its inception, we now pledge our- selves, if elected, to faithfully carry out its provisions in spirit and letter.” There is also a significant failure to inform the public where this platform was created and who created it. Itisa fact, however, that many, if not most, of the candidates on the so-called Peo- ple’s municipal ticket were most stren- uous in their opposition to the adoption of the new Charter. Not the least important clrcumstance connected with. the present campaign are the worse than star-<namber pro- ceedings that have characterized the placing of the “‘gang” ticket before the people. The only definite fact known is that secret meetings have been held in the office of C. D. Wright and a pro- gramme adopted that has been pre- scribed by “Jim” Rea. These facts have not been given publicity, for reasons that can easily be appreciated, through the columns of the Mercury. But that Rea and Johnnie MacKenzie compiled the People’'s municipal ticket and gave it to the public ‘as a list of candidates selected at an alleged meeting of busi- ness men is_too generally known to be discussed. Not one of the candidates named in that ticket even attempts to deny that his candidacy is supported by Rea, MacKenzie and the men who fol- low the dictates of these bosses. While the boss is calling into play all kinds of devious political tricks to delude and gain support for the candi- dates whom he now controls, and whom he will more thoroughly control if they are elected, the New Charter Club is putting forth strenuous,openand manly efforts in behalf of its ticket. In ac- cordance with the frank and coura- geous methods that have marked its course heretofore it is holding a series of tent meetings at which the public is welcomed and at which the club’s can- didates, its plan of campaign and its objects are fully and freely discussed. One of these meetings was held at the corner of Fifth and Empire streets to- night. The tent was filled to overflow~ ing. Addr es were delivered by J. W. Allen, V 3. Crossman, M. O’Brien, Adam_Riehl, W. G. Alexander, Dr. H. J. B. Wright, Colonel Hardy and C. L. Witten. In anticipation of a promised sensa- tional statement by Councilman George B. Dittus, the Council chamber was fill- ed to-night to the standing-room point. At the last session of the Councll, in the course of charges and counter- charges between Councilmen Dittus and Nolting of responsibility for ex- travagant expenditures, Dittus threat- ened to make a statement to-night; taken from the official records, that would show where the responsibility rested for the nresent depleted condi- tion of the city treasury. Nolting defied Dittus to make such a statement and significantly remarked that if it were forthcoming he would have something to say on the same subject. Dittus and Noltine, since the last ses- sion, evidently thought it better to set- tle their differences in private, for no statement was forthcoming to-night, much to the disappointment and dis- gust of the large number of citizens present. ‘When Dittus was asked why*he had not made good his threat he said that he preferred to wait until after the elec- tion. Dittus is in the field as an inde- pendent candidate for Councilman "DT the ward which he now repre- sents. INTERESTS THE PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST.

Speclal Dispatch to The Call SAN JOSE, March 28.—The Transcon- | tinental Freight Bureau, which was in session at Monterey last week, opened its sessions at the Hotel Vendome to- day. Chairman Countiss presided. In the afternoon a large amount of un- important routine business was con- sidered, but no definite action was taken upon any vital question. The chief topic before the bureau is still the matter of the difference in rates on fractional or whole carload lots. There is much variance of inter- | ests among the lines represented upon this point, and the decision will be reached with difficulty. In this matter, as in all others, the various roads rep- resented will be bound by the decision of the bureau. | There was some further discussion on the subject of west-bound rates and east-bound were also considered, It Is expected that west-bound tariff rates will re readjusted at the session to- mMorrow.
