THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1898. ASSASSIN’S BULLETS MAY PROVE FATAL Governor Smith of the Home Dying in Agony From His Wbdunds. 00000000000 LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29.—The assassin’s bullets have probably done the work the murderer intended they should in the case of General A. J. Smith, Governor of the Na- tional Home for Disabled Veterans at Santa Monica. P. M. Governor Smith’s life hangs in the balance, with no probable chance of his recovery. All day long Governor Smith has been lying upon abed of paln, suffering torture from the wounds which cover the upper part of his body. The ball which passed through the shoulder entered the lungs, and this Is the ball which will probably cause death. 0000000000000 000C000000VO00000000000O Santa Monica Soldiers’ At 11 00000000000 C {AN WYCK GETS THE NOMINATION Heads New York’s Dem- ocratic State Ticket. CHOSEN ON FIRST BALLOT ELLIOTT DANFORTH FOR LIEU- TENANT GOVERNOR. Platform Congratulates the Country Upon the Successful Termina- tion of the War and Scores Hospital Abuses. Epecial Dispatch to The Call. SYRACUSE, N. Y. Sept. 20.—The Democratic convention of New York State to-day named this ticket: Governor—Augustus Van Wyck of Kings. Lieutenant Governor — Elliott Dan- forth of Chenango. Secretary of State—George W. Batten of Niagara. Comptroller—Edward 8. Atwater of Dutchess. State Treasurer—E. P. Morris of ‘Wayne. Attorney General—Thomas F. Con- way of Clinton. State Engineer and Surveyor—Mar- tin Schenck of Rensselaer. Contrary to all expectations and to indications of last night and early orning, the convention was very harmonious, the only contest being for the nomination for Governor, and only one ballot being taken on that, result- ing as follows: Van Wyck, 350; Stanch- field, 38; McGuire, 21; Titus, 41. On motion the nomination was made unan- imous. When the eonventicn met, soon after noon, Frederick Schraub was elected permanent chairman and escorted to the chair. He made an address in which he scored the Republican State administration, charged the National Government with criminal neglect of troops in the Spanish war, and said: e Democrats were in the van hley, Hobson, Lee and Wheel- Democratic heroes all, have written gh their names in the American temple s questions affecting the fu- of America must be passed the next national Congress. It should be the earnest effort of every Democrat to so shape the work of this tion that it shall render possible return to_the upper house of our be- 1 senior Senator, Bdward D. Murphy. The report of the committee on reso- lutions was then read as follows: The_Democratic party of the State of New York in convention assembled de- s follows: sngratulates the country upon the successful termination of the war, un- dertaken, not for conquest or aggran- dizement, but In the interests of human- ity, liberty and civilization. We glory in the patriotic devotion and valor of our brave soldiers and sallors, who have hon- ored the American people and heightened the luster of our national fame. The scandalous abuse by the President of his power of appointment in scattering army commissions among inexperienced and incompetent civillans as rewards for per- sonal favorites and to the exclusion of experienced officers In the service is largely accountable for the fearful suf- fering and the appalling loss of life among the gallant soldiers that has brought ace upon the administration and a of shame to the nation. A Dem- ocratic Congress will, if chosen by the people, rigidly investigate the conduct of the war and expose and punish all who may be responsible for the unneces- sary deaths, privations and sufferings of the soljders. A mention of the name of Willlam Jennings Bryan, made by Thomas Car- mody in seconding the nomination of Stanchfield for Governor, produced the greatest demonstration- witnessed in the convention. Delegates stood on chairs swinging their hats, while from the galleries men waved hats and even coats, and one mdn grabbed a Cuban flag from the decorations and SwWung it amidst the wildest excitement. The demonstration lasted for several min- utes, At 3:30, after having adopted the star as the ballot emblem and having ap- pointed the usual committees to fill va- ‘ancies, the convention adjourned sine die. The new State Committee met soon after the adjournment of the conven- tion and organized, electing Frank Campbell of Bath as chairman. IO T SILVER DEMOCRATS TO SELECT A TICKET SYRACUSE, Sept. 29.—The Chicago platform Democrats who, in conference last night, opted resolutions empower- ing and instructing the committee on or- ganization, composed of one member from each Senate district In the State, to place’ in nomination a full ticket by petition, should the convention to-day fail to afirm the Chicago platform, had another meet- ing to-day after the report of the regular committee on resolutions became Known. The instructions of the conference Te- quire that a full ticket be nominated within forty-eight hours. The committee on organization will meet at the Union Square Hotel, New York City, to-morrow night and select a candidate for each place upon the State ticket.

But Will Not Aid in Operating the Coal Mines With Imported Negro Labore ers. Special Dispatch to The Call. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Sept. 20.—Gov- ernor Tanner was called upon by tele- | phone this afternoon by Sheriff Colburn of Pana. The Sheriff sald that he had | no_farther control of the striking min- ers; that he feared there would be an outbreak within a short time, and that he Had exhausted all his resources. He | asked that State troops be sent there. Governor Tanner immediately or- dered Captain Craig of Battery G, Galesbursg, to go with his men to Pana | at once, and Colonel John B. Hamilton of Elgin was also ordered to start with two of the best equipped companies of his Sons of Veterans. Governor Tanner ordered Captain Craig to camp within the city limits and protect the life and property of the citizens,- but under no circumstances should they aid miners or mine owners in the operating of the mines with for- eign labor, to which the Governor is much opposed. | PANA, IIl, Sept. 29.—Intense excite- | ment prevailed here to-day as a result of last night's street riot between the | imported negro miners and the union | present rank of major general of volun- | Eagle City Rapidly Becoming a men.

Mine Operator George V.| Penwell, who gave balil for the negro, | also failed to appear.

TORONTO, Ontario., Sept. 29.—The prohibition vote in the province of Ontario is a big surprise. In 1894 a sim- ilar plebiscite was had and a majority of 81,000 returned in favor of total pro- hibition. From returns received at mid- night there is a small majority against prohibition as a result of to-day’'s vot- ing. Every city in the province went ‘| heavily against prohibition, this city turning a previous majority for it of 2500 into a majority of 4000 against to- day. The vote cast was light. MONTREAL, Sept. 29.—It will be some days before anything like com- pleté returns are received of to-day’s voting in the province of Quebec on the prohibition question. Estimates made from scattered returns received place the majority against prohibition in the QUEBEC, Sept. 20.—Reports from all parts of the Dominion indicate that the vote for and against prohibition has been larger - The indications to-night are that prohibition has been car- ried by a large majority, but probably not more than one-half of the registered vote of the Dominion has been cast. 5 o S —— IN CANADA 0000000 province :t 15,000 Of this Montreal gave 5000 Interest taken in the question was slight, and the vote polled was light.

Should Objections Made by the De- fense Be Sustained Dismissal of the Case Will Foi- low. Epecial Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Sept. 29.—A critical point was reached in the Jarman-Rea slan- der sult to-day, and for a time it looked as though Judge Kittredge would sus- tain the defendant’s demurrer filed to the amended complaint introduced by Delmas on Wednesday. In such an event the suit would have been at an end and Rea cleared of the charge of maliclously slandering Jarman. The entire day was given up to ar- gument. Dozens of law books were piled on the tables in front of the at- torneys and scores of citations were made by counsel on both sides to sup- port their statements. The jury was excused for the day, and in spite of the assurance that there would be no sensational features during the day, the crowd remained and listened atten- tively to all that was said: Attorney Morehouse finished his ar- gument in support of the demurrer shortly before noon. Judge Kittredge then stated that the preponderance of law and the weight of the cases cited were in favor of the demurrer and in- timated he would have to sustain it. This surprised and startled the spec- tators, a majority of whom sympathize with Jarman. The court asked Delmas if he had any further argument to offer why the demurrer should not be sustained. Del- mas sald he had and would begin his argument at the opening of court in the afternoon. He talked all afternoon and made a strong and eloquent argu- ment. He will finish in the morning. The demurrer in question sets forth that Rea’s utterances about Jarman are not actionable and slanderous per se, and that the amended complaint is defective in that no specific damage is alleged. The sustaining of this demurrer means dismissal of the suit. WATERS AT SAN LUIS. SAN LUIS OPISPO, Sept. 2.—Hon. R. J. ‘Waters, Republican candldate for Con- gress, closed a serfes of meetings in this county te-night with a grand demonstra- tion here in the home of his opponent.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Sept. 29.— The steamship Farallon arrived from Lynn Canal ports to-night, bringing sev- enty passengers from various sectlons of Southeastern Alaska. On September 26 the Farallon picked up the wrecked schooner Capella in Sea- forth Channel and towed her to Bella Bella. The Capella sailed from Seattle September 16 for Wrangel, and on Sep- tember 20, when 100 miles off Cape Flat- tery, a heavy gale was encountered.

SWEEP OF MIGHTY FLAMES REVENGEFUL INDIANS ARE NOW UNDER SUSPICION. Cumberland, Wis., Threatened With Destruction, as Fires Surround Three Sides of the . City. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. IDAHO SPRINGS, Colo., Sept. 29.— Forest fires burning on the west side of the divide are beyond control, and people. are said to be fleeing for their lives. How many, if any, have perished cannot be known, as there is no way of getting direct information at this time. A light breeze gives the mighty sea of fire a new impetus, and it goes stead- ily onward, burning everything before it, with no chance for the saving of livestock or property. Cattle are known to be perishing, and bear and deer and other wild animals are running to the east side of the di- vide. The damage will be tremendous. The timber losses amount to more than any mere money consideration. These forests cover the headwaters of mount- ain streams, where the snows are re- tained for many months. From such sources the streams have been carrying a volume of water sufficient to irrigate most of the lands of the State west of the divide, but with the disappearance of the timber the flow of the streams will be greatly lessened. There seems to be a settled opinion among the ranchers that the forest fires were started by Ute Indians with mali- cious intent. They say the forcible ejection of the Indians and their return to the reservation more than a year ago, because of their slaughter-of game, made them bitter against the whites. They are now “playing even,” the set- tlers think, and at the same time driv- ing some of the game into Utah, where they can hunt without being molested by game wardens. Henry Grom, one of the ranchers living at Toponas, Egeria Park, arrived here to-day from the burning country. He said: “The Gore range is on fire for more than 100 miles. The fires have been burning there for some timé¢, and for the past few weeks have been getting worse. Fires are also seen in Grand County, near Kremmling. The ranch- ers are flghting the flames, and when I left were experiencing great loss in all kinds of property.” The fires are reported to cover most of the northwestern part of the State, and to extend through the counties of Routt, Rio Blanco, Grand, Larimer, Garfleld, Eagle, Pitkin and Summit. They are doing great damage to every interest of that section. MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 29.—A Cum- berland (Wis.) special says: Forest fires are raging on three sides of the, city, and there is a heavy southwcst wind. The surrounding lakes will prob- ably save the city. Barrow and Al- mena are surrounded, and the latter has telephoned here for help, stating that the town is already on fire. The mills have shut down, the schools have closed, and business is suspended. Every precaution is being taken to save the city. FIERCE FOREST FIRES RAGING IN WISCONSIN Several Towns and Many Farm- Houses Destroyed—Number of Fatalities Reported. ST. PAUL, Sept. 20.—A Rice Lake, Wis- consin, special to the Pioneer Press says: Forest fires are doing great damage in this section. Sixteen farm houses are re- ported to have been burned this after- noon. The wind was blowing a gale and served to spread the fires. At Cedar Lake the fire destroyed considerable property owned by the Knapp-Stout Lumber Com- pany.

He Proposes to Flay Maguire and His Cohorts Alive. The “middle-of-the-road” Populists who repudiated James ‘“‘Gallagher’”’ Maguire and fusion at Sacramento will open their campaign to-night in Metropolitan Hall. T. W. H. Shanahan, “the tall sycamore” of Shasta, who heads the Populist ticket for Governor, will be the principal speak- er. A large crowd is expected, inasmuch as Shanahan says that he will throw some light on the manipulations of the fusionists at Sacramento, He will also pay attention to the fusionist can- didate, i{ngulre. and his single tax ldeas. Mr. Shanahan in his quaint way re- marks that he will play tag with Maguire and that the pinto candldate will be “it’ all the time. Incidentally he will tell how ‘‘Maguire is attempting, as a Demo- crat, to ride his own jack, the Silver Re- publican mule and the Populist horse at the same time. And that, too, without being a rough rider or much of a vaquero hl_l"_nhs:lf':a“ orator “Will also refer, .with some warmth, to the manner in which a certain coterie of job chasers in San Francisco packed a Populist State con- vention in Sacramento and by violating every canon of political decency and par- ty fairness and by methods only known to political thu, forced this candidate upon the conventfon, single tax and all, thus driving the Populist, upon principle, from his own home.” Mr. Shanahan will also endeavor to tear up the Republican party and scatter the ngreds from Shasta to San Diego.
