Lively music and eloquent speeches were listened to by a large number of Republicans in Loughead Hall, 1605 Polk | street, last night during the initial meet- | ing of the Young Men's Independent Re- | publican .Club of the Forty-first District. F. D. Worth, President of the Conti- nental Republican Club, acted as tem- porary chairman, and in a neat speech | introduced Major C. W. Kyle as the first | speaker of the evening, The major as- sured his listeners that by voting the Re- publican ticket they were voting for a ticket, which had representative citizens as candidates, and it was for their good that they elect them to office. He then spoke of Henry T. Gage, the next Gov- ernor of Californ The speaker closed with a eulogy of the Republican candidate and. told with what veneration he was held by the people of the south, of his ability as a lawyer and of his qualities as a man. Colonel John H. Roberts was then intro- duced. “We are just starting on a cam- paign,” he said. “It is not going to be a walkover. We are going to have enough to do. We can only arrive at a just con- clusion by having @ knowledge of the past.” He pald his respects to Mr. Ma- uire, and charged him with opposing the passage of a tax on beer, tobacco, bonds _and mortgages and stamps on checks as being hardships on the poor man, and of his opposing the annexation of the Ha- walian Islands for fear that an influx of inese would flow into this country and revolutionize labor circles. Chairman Worth followed with a short speech, in which he told the members to get out and hustle, as there was good yoing material in_the district that nceded cultivation. Mr. Ballard followed in the same strain. 3. H. Sheppard was elected permanent chairman of the club and Charles Kend- ricks secretary. It was stated that Mr. Gage would be in- \'umlhm address the club some time next month. 5 > The Hardtmuth lead pencil 18 the best in the world.

WILL APPOINT DELEGATES STRUGGLING TO DISRUPT THE HARNEYITES. There Are Many Candidetss in the Field Hoping to Be Struck by the Political Light- ning Rod. The suggestion made by the Democratic State Convention, that 2 primary election be held in this city to settle the differ- between the Harneyites and the Sullivan-Phelan-McNab wing of the local Democracy will not be accepted. The ab contingent will not meet the Harneyites in a primary battle. They are afraid of the result. They believe that “a bird in the nd is worth two in the bush,” and are not going to take any chances of losing th In other wor M ab and Phelan be- lieve they nmow have full control of the local political machine and consequently unwilling to risk the chance of los- ing it. The Committee of One Hundred will not call a primary for the election of de gates to the municipal nominating con- vention. The Harneyites are too an ious to meet them at a prim but they will not be given an opportunity to show their strength. The leaders of the Com- mittee of One Hundred have decided since their return from Sacramento that they onl. have everything to lose by holding a pri- | mary. They argue on the line that their appointed delegates to the State conven- tion were recognized and that the dele- ates they will appomt to that municipal vention will also be recognized. If both factions were to go out of existence and a primary were held to elect dele- gates to the municipal convention and also elect a new county committee, fearea by the Sullivan-Phelan-Mc defeated-at the polis. Under these circumstances will ignore the suggestion of the State convention and appoint a municipal con- ntion that will be composed of men who programme on every office. The plan of the self-oppointed bosses is to have a municipal nominating conven- tion of 200 members. The Committee of One Hundred will form one-half of the convention and the other 100 will be se- lected by them in about t ame manner as the delegates to the State convention were chosen. They are of the opinion that with_a majority of the Board of Blection Comnm; ners to sustain the programme, they will not experience any dificulty in’ having their nominees placed on the ballot as the nominees of ocratic party. But to guard against any break, they are »rking on the mem- bers of the Harney committee of 0. Gilt- edge promises of political preferment are being made to the vacillating members of the Harney committee to have them vote to adjourn the Harney committee sine die. There is every indication that there will be a “hot time” in the Democratic camp next week. The committees of both fac- tions will meet, and the struggle for su- premacy will commence. ‘lhe Phelan- McNab faction feels confident that it will be able to secure votes enough 1o disrupt the Harney committee.

Licer Collector ~Bonnet, ex-County Clerk M. C. Haley and John A. Brown, g salesman in the employ of J. J. O'Brien & Co., are mentioned for the Democratic nomination for County Clerk. Sheriff Whelan would like another term in office, and up to date he has a good fight on hand for the Democratic nomina- tion. Tax Collector Block is said to have the inside track for the Democratic nomina- tion for Assessor, and Eugene N. Deu- prey is lgoked upon as the Democratic slate ndidate for District Attorney. If Block is nominated for Assessor, Hiram B. Cook, his chief deputy carry oft the nomination lector. Recorder Tom Glynn s not satisfied with a four-year term in office and ex- pects to be nominated by the McNab- will probably for Tax Col- Phelanites. x-Senator Thomas Pinder will try conclusions with him for the nomination. The Republican county committee will meet in the early part of next week and arrange for a primary to elect delegates to the municipal convention, which will convene not later than September 15 There are quite a number of aspirants in the fleld for pomination. Ex-Mayor L. R. Bilert, ex-Chief of Police Crowley and J. B. Stetson are mentioned in connection With the Mayoralty nomination. Willfam Deane, Henry Martin and ‘Wil- liam Joost are out for County Clerk, hile Teon Jones, Supervisor Ed Smith, Sohool Director Ed Head, ex-Bupervisor Joe King and Supervisor Morton are in hopes that the Shrievaity nomination will ta.lY to them.

As there appears to be something in the | nature of a slate in connection with coun- ty office more interest than usual cen- ers around the district contests in which it 1s apparent that so far no programme | exists. | Two Senators, two Supervisors, six As- semblymen and a myriad of Justices of | the Peace and Constables all over the | county have to be voted on at the coming | election, and a score of young lawyers | | and as many active politiclans are after | the-nominations. | To succeed Senator Denison Assembly- man Frank M. Leavitt and District At- torney Snook are the only candidates. Leavitt comes from the sixth and Snook from the Fourth Ward. In the latter | ward there are several candidates, but in the Sixth there are practically none at this time, and, of course, the smaller number from any district increases the chances of its aspirants. In the Fourth Ward Will H. Church is a candidate for Supervisor to succeed himself. He has a | very strong opponent in Joseph E. Kelly, and a_strong effort is being made by Church’s friends to pull Kelly down with a promise of support should he run for the Assembly. Kelly is not listening with | any too willing ear to this promise, and at present shows no inclination to forego | his supervisorial ambition. Dr. Simpson of Alameda, who some years ago was prominent in politics, has once more come forward and he ' also | would like the nomination for Supervisor, | the island being also in Church’s district. |~ Supervisor Talcott is not yet threatened | with any opposition, no one having an- | nounced that he intends to compete with him for the nomination. Roeth, Mitchell and Wells hold over. For tne Assembly nominations there is much_scrambling. 'In the Fifty-first Dis- trict Howard E. Wright wants to go back to Sacramento, but William B. Pringle and ex-Councilman C. G. Dodge are also anxious to represent the district, and | cach js looking around to see what com- binations can be made to further his | chances of success. | The Forty-elghth Assembly District presents an open flelu for a fight, Phil M. Walsh, Frank Burnett, Will Friend and others have been mentioned, but no active work has so far been done by any of them. In the other districts no formal | announcements of candidates have yet been made, except by A. A. McKeen, who would like to be the nominee from the Forty-ninth. But the great struggle for place is on in the contest for Justices of the Peace of Oakland Township. Justice Clift is to re- tire and hopes to be District Attorney, and for his seat have already appeared a | small army. Constable Cronin was the first to express his desire to be a Justice, and after him came John W. Stetson, who was nominated four years ago and beaten by Fred Wood, who ran independently. Will D. Powers, A. W. Bishop and Judge Talcott complete the list, while for cit: Justices Harry Pulcifer, Mortimer Smit! and possibly Judge Wood are already in the field. There is no lack of candidates for Con- stable of Oakland Township, and it is not a difficult matter to divine the cause. Last vear the Constables of Oakland Townghip received in fees and mileage $3354, and this amount does not include all fees paid for civil business, of which an enormous quantity is done in that court. J. €. Willlamson, W. J. Downing and Ed Weidler have o far put their names for- ward, and as Constable Cronin {s after another job, two of these three will prob- ably be elected. Tn a few days it s expected that some- thing will be done by the Democrats and Populists looking toward the naming of a county ticket. It Is almost certain that the county will follow the example of the State and adopt a fusion platform and programme. ALl A AT ‘WILL SUPPORT THE TICKET. There was a meeting of the Young Men’s Republican Club of the Forty-see- ond Assembly District last evening, at Turn Verein Hall, the object being to per- fect a strong organization so as to pre- sent a solid konk on election day in the interest of Henry T. Gage, and also to father the candidacy of J. J. McCarthy for Assemblyman from the Forty-second District. The meeting was called to order by R. 8. Glaze, who, after stating the ob- ject of the meeting, invited the members to present names for their consideration to act as officers of the club during the campaign. The following were elected: R. gm Glaze, president; Thomas Rothen- berger, vice president; Henri'3 Kelling, re- cording secretary; Charles Birdsall, ser- geant-at-arms. The following executive committee was appointed by the chair: Peter Learch, J. Gilbert, Charles Jami- son, John Flaherty and J. T. Harding. Mr. MeCarthy, in an address, advised the members to proffer their services to the State Central Committee to act as watch- ers during the count on the evening of election day, and to stay at their post of | watching Wall and Nagle and when they duty until the last ticket was coun and | saw them rush for f»lflsfion-fltna car recorded, so as to prevent a repetition of | they followed.

IS AMERICAN THROUGHOUT WILL RUN BETWEEN NEW YORK AND SAN FRANCISCO. To Load at Baltimore for This Port. Captain Graham Will Bring Her Out on Her Maiden Voyage. The finest sailing vessel ever built in America will shortly arrive in San Fran- cisco on her maiden voyage. The new four-masted steel ship Erskine M. Phelps, built of American material from stem to stern and from keel to truck, is now being completed at Bath, Me. When everything is ready she will go to Baltimore and there load for this port. Her dimensions are: Length over all, 330 feet; length on deep load line, 312 feet; breadth, 4 feet 2 inches; depth, 25 feet 6 inches. Her gross tonnage is 3000 tons and she has a dead weight carrying capacity of 4600 tons. The masts average about 200 feet in height above keelson. They are 32 inches in diameter in the partners and 26 inches at heel. The lower vards are 94 feet long; lower topsail, 8 feet 6 inches; upper topsail, 78 feet; top- gallant, 65 feet; royal, 55 feet; and skysail yards, 46 feet. The bowsprit is also of steel, 68 feet in length. The ship has two decks and four hatches, two of the latter being 12x16 feet and the remaining two 8x6 feet. The forward deci house is of steel 48 feet long by 18 feet wide, in the forward portion of which is the' sailors' cabin, well lighted and ventilated, with facilities for heating in cold weather. The rest of the forward house is devoted to the gal- ley, donkey engine room and coal bunker of 7 tons capacity. In the midship hous also of steel, 26x18 feet, Is the carpenter’ shop and six rooms for the petty officer Aft under the poop-deck is the comm dious cabin, the home of the captain and his officers, 48 feet long and 38 feet wide, extending the entire width of the ship. These quarters are excellently lighted by skylights. In the forward cabin is the dining sa- Joon, and aft of this is the main sa- loon, tastefully finished in white, china glossed. The captain’s apartment, offi- cers’ staterooms, steward’s pantry, bath rooms and lavatories are on this deck and immediately adjoining the saloon. A stairway leads to a spacious stecl chart hoyse, 14x16 feet, on the upper or quarter deck, wi... numerous side ports affording abundant light and ventilation. Here are ample lounging facilities for passengers or officers when off duty. Aft of the chart house is the steel Wheel- house, 10x14 feet. The ship is supplied with all modern im- rovements, including steam pumps and ose for washing decks or in case of fire. A steam winch is supplied with two port- able cranes to weigh anchors with, and a steam capstan s forward and two hand capstans aft. The bulwarks of the ship are “stiffened” every four feet with round iron braces two and one-half inches in di- ameter. Forward are two imported light- houses in_ which are the sidelights re- quired by law. The Erskine M. Phelps was built by Arthur Sewall & Co., of Bath, Maine, the well-known_builders of the ships Rappa- hannock, Shenandoah (now on her way to San Francisco), Susquehanna, Roan- oke (the largest wooden merchant vessel afloat) and the steel ship Dirigo, launch- ed in March, 154 Arthur Sewall, the senfor member of the firm, was the late Vice-Presidential candidate on the Dem- ocratic ticket. Erskine M. Phelps, for whom the ship is named, is one of the best known of Chicago's. merchant princes. He is a rominent member of the National Bemocmuc Committee, and during the recent campaign was one of Mr. Sewall's strongest supporters. Cap{aln Robert J. Graham, who will command the new vessel, is one of the most popular masters that come to this port. He is an old navigator, and a very clever business man. When last here Captain Graham was in command of the ship W.F. Babcock, and vas gocompanied by his wife and little daughter, Gladys. Mrs. Graham was one of tHe belles ot Berkeley, and her many friends will be glad to hear of Captain Graham's pro~ motion to the command of one of the finest salling vessels afloat. Captain Graham went to sea when he was 15 years old in the Bath ship Idle Tily, and_gradually worked his way up in the Sewall employ until he was master of the ship Reuce. Two years ago he was glven command of the Bab- cock, and now he has been transferred to the Phelps. e CAUGHT IN THE ACT. Two Pickpockets Arrested on a Mission Street Car by the Harbor Police. For weeks past the harbor police have been trying to break up a ganr of pick- pockets that has made the new ferry depot its stamping ground. Several ar- rests have been made at different times and Sunday night Officers Shaw and Ellis locked up Walter Nagle and Frank Wall, who they think are the last of the band. It was about 8:30 p. m. and the assengers by an Incoming ferry boat were crowding into the cars. The policemen had been caught In_any overt act. Both men were placed under arrest. Nagle was and is a clerk for C. E. Whitney & Co.. pro- duce merchants, 110 Davis street. Nagle's employes refuse to believe the story told by the police, and say that for the; two years and a half Nagle has been in their employ he has been sober, honest and In- dustrious. They insist that there is a mistake somewhere. Wall was charged with vagrancy at the City Prison yesterday and released on $100 cash bail. The Nagle case is still in abey- ance. The river steamer H. J. Corcoran sus- tained some slight damage when she came off the drydock yesterday. When the strain came one of her hog chains snapped and the other soon followed suit. The damage will be repaired in a few hours and the steamer will not be delayed by the accident. Pacific-street whart is_back to its old condition once more and the officers of the Oceanic Steamship Company are de- lighted. The steamer Australia has got rid of all the bunks and paraphernalia that were put in to make her Into a troopship and will be once again a first- class passenger steamer before she goes out next Thursday. Chief Steward Pen- field and his assistants have worked won- ders during the last few days, and the big steamer is once more beginning to look Hke herself. All the vessels of the fleet from Aus- tralia and the islands are making long passages, The bark R P. Rithet that got n vesterday was thirty-one days and the schooner Transit was twenty-nine days from Homolui, ~ The bark George I Manson is now out 118 days from Sydney, and 2 per cent reinsurance has been paid on her, but the chances are ‘that, like all the’ others, she is detained by light winds and calm A TIMELY WARNING T0 BOXING CLUBS FIGHTERS MUST BE IN CONDI- TION AND FLOORS PADDED. Captain Gillen Refused the Hartford Club Permission to Carry Out Its Programme. The so-called Hartford Boxing Club gave an entertainment last evening in a fire trap on Hartford strect. The ring in which the exponents of the manly art appeared was several feet less than the regulation size and the padding consisted of a cheap blanket Sergeant G. B. Griffiths allowed a few preliminaries as 4 means ol eXperifc.., but when his good judgment convinced him that a heavy fall might be the means of a death in the family of untrained sloggers he reported progress to Captain James W. Gillen, who ordered the festivi- ties to come to a speedy conclusion so as to avold possible accident. The directors of the club were nonplused at the orders of the captain, but the few prominent sportsmen who were In attendance eulo- gized the official for his timely interfer- ence, and they did not hesitate to say that the captains of the various districts where hippodrome boxing contests were held should emulate Captain Gillen's ex- ample and save the lives of poorly condi- tioned boxers by putting a stop to alleged fistic entertainments. Mushroom club boxing contests: are or- ganized solely in the interest of a few rock-rolling politicians who live on the proceeds of the entertainments to which they charge an admission fee. The man- agers engage the cheapest fistic talent obtainable and as a result some unfortun- ate fellow who is anxious for a cheap rep- utation falls ‘llnlo a trap which may cause his death. Hiad a fire occurred last evening in the Hartford Club scrapping trap there was no means of exit excepting through a hole-in-the-wall which admitted but one person at a time. Captain Gillen is certainly deserving of recognition for the stand he has taken in obliterating these so-called boxing clubs, whose existence is of only one month’s duration. The contests of the Hartford Club con- sisted of a four-round bout between Jim Little and Tom O'Leary and a two round contest between Myers and Sweeney, Which contests were very uninteresting. —————————— IMPORTANT TO DRUGGISTS.

Collector Lynch received from the Sec- retary of the Treasury yesterday a cir- cular of considerable importance to drug- gists and manufacturers. It is as follows: Tn view of the fact that in many cases drug- gists and other dealers in articles subject to fnternal revenue tax under schedule B, act of June 15, 1898, were unable to procure the nec- essary revenue stamps for such articles on hand July 1, 1538, collectors of internal revenue will at once notify all such druggists and deal- ers that a sworn statement of all such sales Sf unstamped articles made by them on and after that date should be furnished without de- fay, setting forth the dates on which such salés were made, the quantity (bottles, pack- ages, eto.), 80 sold and the retall value thereof, Upon receipt of the statements so furnished the tax found to be due will be weported on form 23, for assessment.
