THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1898. UNCLE Sd@M WILL NOT LOSE ON THE CENTRAL PACIFIC Assistant Secretary Vchderlip Says the Road Is Able to Pay the Debt. He Also Tells of Plans for Shipping Silver Bullion. From Philadelphia to San Francisco. épecial Dispatch to The Call. Seratuad Cal} Office, Riggs House, Washington, Sept. 28. Assistant Secretary Vanderlip of the Treasury Department returned to-night from a trip to Chicago. He went there on two missions, one to investigate the | condition of the Central Pacific Rail- road and the other to arrange for an enormous shipment of silver bullion across the continent. Mr. Vanderlip said to-night that he had not com- pleted either mission. It was impossi- ble to see many of the people he .de- sired to consult about the Central Pa- cific and he had not completed arrange- nents for the shipment of bullion. “It is contemplated,” he said, “to ghip about ten million ounces of silver | bullion across the .continent from the Mint in Philadelphia to the nt in San Francisco. Such shipments. are usually made by express and we have a contract with the expr companies to ship all the money by express. But bullion is not money any more than pig iron is, and there is no more rea- son why we should ship pigs of silver by express than we should ship pigs of lead that way.. Ten million ounces of silver weigh: 625,000 pounds avoirdupols. This IS no trifiing weight and it would be a great expense to the Government to ship it by express. It will take fifteen or twen- ty cars to carry this amount. If we ship it by express the companies will assume the risk and furnish guards, but if we ship it by freight we furnish our own guards and take the risk. Really I believe there is little risk, hardly any more so than if it were lead. | heaviest pigs, | We would select the weighing 1000 ounces, or about'sixty- five pounds. These would be loaded on cars and a tourist car placed at each of the train. 8 would occupy the cars, and every time the train stopped they would surround it and prevent any-one from approaching it. There would be little opportunity to remove any of the pigs, as the cars would be new and of 33 pounds troy or | | the safest kind, and. even if men’ had an cpportunity to take the silver from | the train they would need a dray to carry it. A man would find it no easy: thing to carry off even one pig weigh- ing sixty-five pounds. The train would run on fast time and make few stops, so that the guards would find it easy to keep watch on the treasure. The | expense would be much less to the Government than if it .were shipped by express and I can see no objection to this plan. The Government has a sur- blus of gold on hand at the Philadelphia Mint and it wishes to coin it as rapidly as possible. At the San Francisco Mint the conditions are such that silver can | be coined there without trouble.” It is necessary that a certain amount of ‘it should be colned every month, and it is believed that the sending of silver to | San Francisco will be worth the ex- | pense.” Mr. Vanderlip would say little about | the Central Pacific Railroad, as the men he wanted to see were cut of the | city, but he said he thought the Gov- | ernment had a geod chance to get all due it from the road. Mr. Vanderlip was selected by the committee ap- pointed by Congress to investigate this | matter, consisting of the Secretaries of the Treasury and Interior and the At- torney General, and to make an inquiry of the matter and report to them. He | will make his report in about three | weeks. He sald to-night that the road | appeared to be valuable property and’ the Government should get all its money from it, as it did from the Uniown Pacific. £ : “Many people have the impression,” | he said, “that the Government did not | get the full amount from the Union Pa- cific that it was entitled to. This is a mistake, as the Government received dollar for dollar, with all acerued inter- {est. The Government will get (its moeney, and there is no reason why the. road should not be put on-its feet as | was the Uniom Pagific, which is now | doing well. The West is developing rapidly and all the roads there are do- ing a fine business. I shall continue my investigation for some time before mak- ing my report and expect toc see a num- ber of railroad men on this subject.” DISTRUSTFUL OF LORD SALISBURY Fashoda Affair Excites Englishmen. CLAMOR FOR INFORMATICN FEAR THE PREMIER WILL NOT STAND FIRM. It Is Learned in London That General Kitchener Did Not Hoist the British Flag in the Town. Epecial Dispatch to The Call. 9 LONDON, Sept. 28.—The newspapers of the country are clamorously demand- ing that the Government take the pub- lic into its confidence in regard to the Fashoda affair, having been:informed that General Kitchener's report has reached the Foreign Office and that it makes interesting developments. They appear to be deeply disappointed that diplomatists are to have the settlement of the question, and express the fear that Lord Salisbury will prove suscep- tible to French blandishments. The Foreign Office has issued a for- mal refusal to make public any further details of the affair, some of which, however, are ledking out. The Sirdar, according to these, after Major Marchand refused to furl the French flag, formally. announced that he had come to raise the Egyptian flag, but before doing so he desired to know whether Major Marchand wished to enter a protest. The Frenchman replied in the nega- tive and the Sirdar then planted the Pgyptian flag alone—not the Egyptian ADVERTISEMENTS.

The Daily Chronicle this morning de- clares that General Kitchener had full instructions as to how to meet the Marchand expedition, and that every- thing happened as- had been antici- pated. s % “There s nothing now for France,” says the Chronicle, “but to extricate position. There is no alternative to this but a declaration of war.. Great | Britain will not allow armed reinforce- ments to reach Major Marchand.

MAJOR MARCHAND HAS NOT BEEN ABANDONED PARIS, Sept. 28.—The Gaulois this morning publishes an Interview with ‘the Minister of the Colonies, M. Trouil- lot, in which he is quoted as saying it is not true that Major Marchand has been abandoned. Up to the present time, the Minister added, the French Government has only the British ver- sion of -the major’s occupation of Fa- shoda and no steps will be taken in the matter until the French officer's re- ports are received. The Minister fur- ther remarked that one essential point has been secured in the evidence of a colliston between the French and Brit- ish troops, and that was that it was here and not on the Nile that the ques- tion of Fashoda and other matters hinging on it will be settled.

PEEEPEPPOO® NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—The Wash- | ington correspondent. of the. Herald tel: egraphs: No official information has been recetved in Washington regarding | the intention of Aguinaldo- to formdlly | inaugurate his so-called republic of the 'Phillpplnes at Malolos to-morrow and issue a proclamation to the nations of of his government. It.is mnot belleved, however, by the officials of the admin- istration’that either Admiral Dewey or Gerieral Otis will take any notice of the proceedings at Malolos, er that they will accept the invitations to witness them. Should Aguinaldo issue his con- templated proclamation to the nations of the world his action will have no ef- fect whatever on the peace negotia- tions at Paris. The United States will certainly not recognize Aguinaldo as the head of an-independent government and it is mot believed that any other pation -will do so. The war - is still technically in progress between Spain and the United States, and If any third | power should recognize the insurgents as independent during the progress. of the war and during the’ pendency of negotlations to determine the disvosi- tion of the territory claimed by the in- surgents either the United States or Spain would have the right to regard such recognition as a_ hostile act.

He op- poses ‘all annexation, and his opinion, therefore, totally differs from that of the other four commissioners, some of whom would be content with a coaling station at the Philippines, possibly Ca- vite, while others,.like Senator Davis, advocate the annexation of the ‘whole archipelago.”” The Gaulois, however, believes that the Americans, by mutual concessions, will come fo an agreement, and that they will be largely influenced by AMa- Jor General Merritt's reports on the sit- | uation. The instructions to the Span- ish commission, according to the Gau- lots, are, briefly, to.hold out and make the best terms possible.

He spoke about two hours and a half. Judge Maguire began by referring to the contest as one between' the classes and the masses—the allied parties- up- holding equal rights to all and the Re- publican party standing for Hannaism and the monopolies, chief of which was the Southern Pacific. He argued that the Republican ticket was selected by Southern Pacific influence. As proof of this he cites, first, that the Southern Pacific whistles blew when Gage re- turned home to Los Angeles; second, the position of the Los Angeles Times; thlrx, that the ticket was published in full in The Call before it was nomin- tary Commission: These figures, which may ek kkkk k kR Rk R Rk Rk Rk R Rk kR Rk kR ko Rk Rk % x % % X% ¥ ¥ | of him as an attorney for thé Southern llcan Club has ‘beén organized here. .‘.Q'QI.IQ.'Q'.I.Q.Q."GQ‘I.IQ"’”’I‘G.Q AMERICAN LOSSES IN - THE WAR WITH SPAIN NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—A Washington special to the Her: 3 Official reports received by the War Depart Fralg savss glving the number of men and officers who have been killed or wound- ed, and who had died from disease in the army from the beginning of the war up to August 31, show these figures, which are accurate as far as reports have been received, and ‘will be CASUALITIES IN BATTLE.

Special Dispatch to The Call. - RIVERSIDE, Sept. 28.—The- tour of Henry T. Gage and General W. H. L. -Barnes through- Southern - California has aroused exeeptional * enthusiasm among the masses. . Popular ovations which- distinguished the- speaking at Santa Barbara, Ventyra, San Bernar- dino, San Diége ‘and Santa And are séldom witnessed in. other than'a Pres- idential ‘-campaign.- The .multitudes | which assemble to hear the standard bearer. and the eloquent exponent of. Republican principles bring with them Democrats, Populists and so-called 8il- ver Republicans. Throughout :Riverside = and 'Orange counties the people are aroused to the dangers of Maguirelsm and apprehend that the election of the. fusion ticket with Maguire at the head would bring disaster- to' thé ~State, - in comparison with which anothér dry season would be but an incident, The fruit growers and others of the industrial population in the Santa Ana Valley are looking forward with confidence to a period of great prosperity.: Already many mort- gages have been lifted as the result of toil and economy, and inquiries con- cerning the Investment-of capital for the future development .of the great resources of this region impart confi- dence. Men who have worked hard to upbuild the State shudder at the suggestion of a Maguire triumph and the introduction of sociallstic and sin- gle tax delusions in the affairs of Cali- fornia. The earnestness of the people is manifested at every great demons stration. It is readily observed that Gage is growing rapidly in popularity.: People hearing liim talk are convinced of his sincerity. Any man who is sincere can get a good hearing in these intelligent and progressive cities of Southern Cali- fornia. i Another strong point in Gage’s-favor is-that he has never fattened at the public ¢rib. © He ‘never held a politi- cal office and mever sought to hold one; he never drew a dollar from the public treasury. Industrious men who till the orchard, run the farms and:pay the taxes necessary for the administration of government view with -distrust the | type of politiclan known as -the “‘chronic office seeker” who lives on the public and is never happy when.he is not drawing a fat salary from the pub- lic treasury. Gage comes from. the people, and comes free from the taint of persistent office holding. The reception accorded to Henry. T. sions and his bearing. won the favor of his hearers. ‘When Mr. Gage, the standard-bearer, was presented the applause was mighty and prolonged. He was introduced as a man belonging to’ the people. Mr. Gage did not speak at great length, as he was constrained by the courtesies of the campaign - to V! \d' some of his time to the Congressional nominee, who was advertised to speak here to-night. Many of the.questions elaborately discussed in the great San Diego speech were dwelt upon to-night. The single tax heresies advocated by Maguire were reviewe? The people of Riverside were thankd for the support which their delegation' gave to the speaker in the nomin=ting ccnvention Attention was called to Maguire's ussault on the integrity .and ranhood of the Riverside dele- gates when he spoke of them as rail- road hirelings who were dominated at| Sacramento by eorruption. Said Mr. Gage: “1l would not assail the Demacratic convention ‘which nominated Mr. Ma- guire. I say it is beneath the dignity and honor of any one seeking the high office ‘'of Governor of this State to thus brand his fellow-man.” 5 The speech of Mr. Gage was more in the nature of a frank and confidential talk with his nelghbors than a formal address. He replied happily to the criti- cism ‘concerning his clothes and his habit of putting his hands into his own pockets. He advised his critics to de- fer comment on his clothing until they saw the suit he would wear at the in- | augural ball. Maguire’s war record was reviewed. | The. records were quoted to show that Maguire voted agalnst the war revenue measure and did not vote to allow the gallant soldiers the right of suffrage in the field. Maguire’s record on the rail- road settlement bill was presented to the audience. They paid close atten- tion to the points brought out by Mr. Gage. The statement of fact was sus- tained by the production of the Con- gressional Record.’. This expose of Ma- guire’s position on the railroad settle- ment created a sensation here as it did | in San Diego, San Bernardino and | Santa Ana. Great applause followed !t_he exposure of Maguire's attempt to blend the judgment of the peoplé in | this ‘matter. The attitude of Senator | Morgan- and Senator White toward | what Maguire called an infamous bill | was cited. - | In closing, Mr. Gage promised that if elected Governor he would give the | people of California a clean, honest and | ‘business-like administration. - The si- lence of the audience as Mr. Gage made this pledge was solemn and impressive. ‘When he concluded the sentence there | was a burst of applause. The audience | was impressed-by his candor and sin- cerity. The Silver Tongued Quartet sang another song, ‘“Good-by, Maguire, Good-by.” General Barnes ' was pre- | sented to the vast assemblage as Cali- | fornia’s Lr/lliant orator. The general | got great vounds of applause as he | arose to speak. | In masterly and eloquent fashion the | brilliant orator reviewed the platforms of the parties and paid his respects to | the fusion nominee for Governor. He | quoted Maguire's language exalting the | nihilists as gentlemen holding uni- | versity degrees. Reference was made | to Magulre's constant harping on the | single tax wherever he discussed any | measure in Congress. If there was a proposition to build a lighthouse, Ma- | guire introduced ‘the single tax. The | inference was drawn that the “Littie | | Giant” and his followers would dwell | constantly on single tax if fusion | should succeed in California. | “If Maguire should be elected- and | after his .election die, oh, heavens and | earth! Hutéhinson Governor of this | a possible calamity!” | The roars of laughter responsive to | this sally indicated the opinion which | Republicans of Riverside entertain in regard to the fusion candidate for | Lieutenant Governor. - | The fusion of .political elements in | the causé of Maguireism was r pro- | | nounced ‘“‘an unholy alliance of office- | hunters.” Silver Republicans were 'implored to return to the party of Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Harrison and McKinley.

Special Dispatch to The Call. 9 PANA, II., Sept. —Striking union coal miners and imported negroes en- gaged in a pitched battle in the main street of this town to-night. Several hundred shots were exchanged, no one was wounded in the ranks of the union men. The negroes were driven from the city to their stockades, carrying with them, it is believed, a number of wounded comrades. One of the negroes is reported to have died soon after reaching the stockades. Desultory firing continues at mid< night in the vicinity of the stockades. The trouble was precipitated at 8:30 o’clock this evening. As usual, the negroes from the stockades at the Springside and Penwell mines were making demonstrations on Second and Locust streets, the principal business streets of the city, by parading heavily armed. The union miners were in ses- sion at.their hall, where a Chicago labor leader was speaking. One of the negroes appeared at the foot of the miners’ hall and engaged in a quarrel with a union white miner. Officer Samuel Smith immediately ar- rested the black man and was escorting him to jail, when he was closed in on by a posse of negroes, who, pointing their revolvers at Smith, threatened to kill him if he did not release his pris- oner. Smith continued on his way to the jail with his prisoner. Union min- ers and others meanwhile went to Smith’s assistance and the negroes we-~ driven back. Smith took his prisoner to Operator George V. Pen- well’s residence, and upon Penwell's standing for the negro’s fine he was released. Before Smith had released his pris- oner, however, the negro posse had been reinforced and assumed a threat- ening attitude toward the white men. David MeGavie, leader of the union miners, clubbed one of the blacks on the head vith a revolver, it is said. For half a block McGavic forced the ne- groes to retreat, and then a few shots fired. The .negroes retreated ‘double quick to their stockades, se- cured.rifles, returned to Locust street and challenged the miners to a fight. The opposing forces lined up on the street, the negroes with Winchesters and the miners with shotguns, rifles and revolvers. Neighboring business houses were immediately closed, lights extinguished and citizens generally sought their homes. At the word of ommand firing commenced. The first volley, it is said, came from the ne- groes. The union 1 responded with a volley, and the h firing continued for five minutes. Much of the shooting was wild and entirely harmle to the white men, who finally drove t Gage, W. H. L. Barnes and J. C.

Coming from the scene of a great out- | pouring at Santa Ana, the standard bearer and General Barnes arrived | shortly before noon .at Riverside. At the railway station they were received by a delegation of leading -citizens headed by C. F. Huse, chairman of the Republican County Central Committee, and escorted to the Glenwood Tavern. Gage 1Is still among his friends and neighbors and soon many of them came forward to grasp his hand. An intro- duction: to .General Barnes is seldom necessary. If he does not know every one, every-one knows him. ¢ The general is an alert observer and picks up a vast deal of information on his travels. He alights en many a fact and incident which one not gifted with rare power of discernment might pass unnoticed. “To-day he was the first in the party to discover that Riverside is a prohibition- city. 5 Early in the evening a train from San Bernardino arrived bringing two | hundred active Republicans. Other specials and the regular trains rein- forced the local ranks. As the hour of 7 o’clock drew near the people wended their way to the Loring Opera-house. Shortly after the doors were thrown open the spacious house was crowded. All the seats on the stage, the hoxes and the circles were occupied. The standing room was appropriated with-, out delay.: On the streét in front of the Loring the Riverside City band played patriotic.and popular music. The en- thusiasm .deepenéd as the throng in- ‘creased. The people came from Colton, Redlands, Ontario, Perris, San Jacinto, Elsinore, Corona and the country pre- cincts immediately surrounding River- side. ‘When Henry T. Gage;. accompanied by General Barnes, J. C. Neédham, I. N. Blackstock, the nominee for Rail- way Commissioner, and Major Kyle took their places on the stage the audi- ence gave three hearty cheers. 3 The meeting was called to.order by C. F. Huse, chairman of the courty committee. The first feature of the ex- ercises was a song by the Republican Bilver-Tongued - Quartet of - colored boys. The song, “‘Good Evening, Mr. Gage, Arn’t You Not Glad That You Are Living and Quite Well?” made a decided hit ‘and the -singers—Fred | White, Will Blanton, Tom Wilsen and Peter Polk—were recalled. They sang “Maguire Is a Foolish Man,” with a refrain, “Send Those Angels Down.” Captain M. J. Daniels was announced as the chairman of the meeting. He named the following vice-presidents: San Bernardino — James Hutchings, Judge John L. Campbell, C. C. Has- Kell, G. T. Copeland, James Fleming, T. J. Fording, F. W. Richardson; Red- lands—H. H.

THE SAGINAW- BOY IN LUCK BOUT DECLARED A DRAW BY STIPULATION. - Had the Men Not Agreed in Advance Against a Decision on Points; the Buffalo Lad Would Have Won, Spectal Dispatch to The Call, | NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—"Kid” La- vigne, lightweight. champion pugilist of the world, came very near losing his title to-night at the Greater New York Athletic Club in a twenty-round bout with Frank. Erne of Buffalo. Erne proved a Tartar for the Saginaw boxer, | who is mot the Lavigne of three years | ag;:) by' any rtxl'neatnsl.l rne’s wonderful improvement W surprise to the 7000 people who " :‘lgltzi nessed the fight. He drew Lavigne to him and sent back as good as he got in many of the rounds, while in some | of them he outpointed the champion. | It was generally understood that a de- | cision was to be given on points, and the statement made at the end of the bgut that both men had agreed to call it'a draw in the case that the men.were good and strong at . the end of the twentieth round was a source of keen disappointment to a host of Erne's friends, who looked for a favorable de- cision. Had the bout been decided upon points Erne certa’ .y would have got the championship honors and the winner’s slice of the $5000 purse which | the club hung up for the contest, - The men who laid odds of 3 to 1 on Lavigne looked sick toward the end of the bout, particulariy in the last two rounds, when Erne was getting the better of his opponent, and if the men _;v:'re 10 meet again even money would be, r:lhgeht ru;eéd' {l'?:’ on his showing most at his mercy.

The miners had full charge of the business streets at mid- night.. Desultory rifle reports could be heard from the Penwell and Springside stockades, but no person would ven- ture into the streets near the mines, and very.few are loitering about the business or residence sections. The union miners say the battle to- night is only a foretaste of what may be expected to follow. Governor Tanner will be asked to send the militia to protect property in this city and remove the negroes. LATE SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. DOMESTIC PORTS.
