2 THE FRAN N CO CALL, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER. 3, definite figures and plans that will net ou so many dollars.. I had none and o not know that we will get a cent on his account; but I do feel sure of one thing—that if you close him up you will not realize a cent any quicker, and you may—yes, certainly will—sub- Ject yourself to heavy lawsuits and most unenviable notoriety. You bet- ~ ter let him try to work off onto others some of his obligations, so as to im- part_strength from all ‘parties inter- ested in holding him up, Before long we hope to send something besides words and promiges and hopes. Later—I note what you say in regard to Sherman and the Electric road, and much of it is doubtless correct. But you must not let Boat prejudice you wrongly. Remember M. H., with all his fauits, is of great value to you, and the question is to decide just” how_he can be of most service to all. Re- member- the consolidation of the two roads is not yet effected, and there is a. possibility “of the second mortgage bond holders or cable stock holders trying to-redeem the propertfl. or at least make you pay all possible for it. 1 have-‘a very long typewritten state- ment about the road that shows his head is much clearer than you suppose in many things. But there are prob- leéms within problems that .are not so y solved offhand. I think you bet- ter go along patiently with him for the resent, and- then- we wii take up this lectric matter.. A few weeks will probably not hurt.much of the same state of affairs.. Your lo\'lx\l; brother, RANK. A NEW SCHEME OF CRAZY FINANCE 1S SUGGESTED. Two days later Frank McDanald il- lustrated in.a letter his-absurd notions of finance. ' In the very midst of finan- clal ruin he’ suggested another idiotic scheme by which. he. hoped to utilize the Pacific Bank and filch from more merchants their money. In this letter Frank McDonald wrote as follows: My Dear Brother: I have for sev- eral years had in mind a proposition that 1 e thought of suggesting, but these complex troubles coming up pushéd it into the background.. It is tals: Our issulngfrom the Pacific Bank coupon time certificates -of deposit, I think the roads before very long will have to be turned over to the bondholders. And whatever interest they cannot get they will hawe to take in scrip and wait until the roads can pay. This being the case, stockholders’ lishbility should be guarded against, and you better take qut of our stocks and bonds the Electx&)stock in Jen- kins’ name and have ¥enkins make a demand note for $50,000, 5 per cent, with that as collateral, and then we will have to rebate the interest to him and give him the money in some other way to pay such interest, we giving him our checks and then we will charge it up. The private undertaking will be that we sell it to Jenkins on the un- derstanding that we take care of the interest for five years. But perhaps it will be better to take a long-time note, say ‘three years, from him, and not have the interest begin till ma- turity, we having discounted the note. This last would be simpler. We can- sever the note when it expires. Of course it would be better to have some one outside the bank own it, but I know of no good person, except possibly Brown; but Jenkins we can trust best. I am in receipt of your telegram re- lating to Perkes placing the Electrics in London. I have not much faith in his success, ‘because the first call will be for a show of earnings. If the cholera takes hold in England | and here in the East it will be very| hard to do anything, but we can keep | trying and can point to the Pacific H Y s ang 12145 rao—, . PREPARING FOR THE FINAL CRASH. Boon after his ‘arrival in New York Frank McDonald wrote to his brother Dick that the forces of the bank were organized in New York, and every effort would be made to- obtain money .for the insolvent institution. If the endeavor proved Hopeless Frank begged his brother to prepare for the end and strengthen his position as much as possible. paying say, on five-year certificates, 4 per cent and on ten-year certificates b per cent. D. O. Mills’ bank in Sacra- mento -has been- doing this for some time and has kept much money from floating away from "there. You see the Savings bank cannot- issue such certificates, because they are -obliged to declare dividends from earnings, and although they do occasionally try to specify a long rate, really they are over-setting their fundamental princi- ples .of organization and could at any time be stopped by the Examiners. With us it is different in' the Pacific, we can do as we please. You know the time is coming when the: comme: cial banks will have to-stop the Sav- ings’ bank drain, and we better get in line among the first. Of course. we should not advertise the matter at all, but go along slowly, gathering in the deposits, and any one that prefers a shorter time and otber rates we could always send to ‘the. Sayings Bank, People's -Home.: Your -lovinf brother, RANK, BITTER DENUNCIATION . OF MOSES H. SHERMAN. On August 31, 1892, Frank McDonald wrote one - of the' most.” important epistles in his long series to his brother. In’ this letter Frank McDonald shame- lessly confesses that he wants to be dis- honest” .He. denounces Sherman and exposes the motiyes of the scheme in which Sherman involved him. He out- -lines to.R. H. McDenald Jr. how an- other parasite of the Pacific Bank may be used to save the bankers from their impending .disaster.. In. this letter Frank McDornald writes as:follows: N. Y.; Aug. 31st, 1892. My Dear Brother: We all know that Sherman is tricky, -dishonest, un- truthful, vainglorious. and in many respects - most - contemptible and weak; but we also know that his name and means’ are more or less tied up and-compromised in these matters, and it is greatly to his in- terest to pull them out if he can. We also know the ian has consid- erable property-in one form and an- other and considerable more prospec- tive wealth. You know- hé has cer- tain connections and influences that ought to be of material aid in work- ing out these problems. And I think we must admit that we shall be stronger with him in our camp than with him fighting us. Such being the case, the thing to do is to make him work, raise money and carry all the load possible without calling on us in any way. And whenever you do anything for him make him pay well for it. Now, as to the future of the roads. I long since knew the problem is a terrible one, and I have been all the time playing for position so that in #ll moves we should come out of it the best; at least as well as any. We have now in the bond exchange we made secured a strong crowd, and we can afford to all pull together and take our chances. Vogal Between you and me, confidential- 1y, T shall be much d it the Ee e Coast as. the place where the cholera ! never makes much headway. Yu\u‘} police station. FRANK. Having written this bitter denuncia- tion of Sherman, Frank McDonald tel- egraphed four days later to his brother. In this telegram Frank McDonald re- turned to the old story of the Riverside Bank. ‘Sherman, his methods and his leving brother, motives were forgotten for the moment | in_the pressing necessity of the River- side Bank and Frank telegraphed: NEW YORK, Sep. 3rd, '92. R. H. McDONALD, Pacific Bank, San Francisco: D. has finally dis- covered that water notes here are the ones he wishes. I should like to kill the fool. FRANK. “NOW- BLAZE AWAY AND TAKE THE CONSEQUENCES.” A few days later the affairs of the Pacific Bank had reached such a criti- cal state that R. H. McDonald Jr. de- manded from his brother certain sums of money to save the bank. It seemed impossible to deceive the Bank Com- missioners further or’ to make any ad- ditional imposition upon the public. In answer to Dick’s frantic letter Frank McDonald wrote as follows: NEW YORK, Sept. 9, 1892. My Dear Brother: Your dispatches and.one from Mitchell relating to deed at_hand. I have nothing further to say. You are there and managin things as you think best, and while am not convinced that the course you arg pursuing is the wise one, I ‘am tired of remonstrating and you better run things to suit your own view. It does not do any good to keep threat- ening; you simply demoralize all of us. We feel no safety in trying. I wash my hands of the whole affair, and shall not advise one way or the other In the future. We cannot ac- complish’ impossibilities and do not propose to try it. Your continued ulti- matums are simply ridiculous; we cannot-work any harder, and spurring on is not necessary. Now blaze away and take the consequences. We can- not be worrfed into the grave in a week’s time. I am sorry we cannot scare up -more money, but hope Shall have better luck before long. Your loving brother, FRANK. The Call will continue to-morrow morning the chronological history of Frank McDonald’s secret correspond- ence. One of the most important char- acters in this part of the correspond- ence will be Willlam H. H. Hart, ex- Attorney General of this, State. RAVAGES OF SMALLPOX IN MANILA- CAMPS MANILA, Oct. 8.—The health of the troops here at present is far from be- ing good, notwithstanding the state- ments of the Medical Department to the contrary. At Cavite the conditions are véry bad. There have been over forty deaths tiere since September 1, mostly from typhoid fever. One-third of the officers of the Montana Volun- teer Regiment are on the sick list, in- cluding the colonel and lieutenant col- onel, who are unfit for duty. In one _battery alone over 75 per cent of the e been on the The hospital accommodations are in- adequate. The supply of medicines was exhausted at one time, and for days there was nothing to administer to the patients. The place is unhealthy at best. The men are quartered on ground floors. where it is damp, and in this country especlally conducive to ilness. Many of the men worked them- selves ill during the process of cleaning Cavite, but now that the sanitary con- ditions are being looked after an im- }:roved health record will doubtless fol- ow. In Manila the conditions are better. The men are fairly well quartered and are being given better accom- modations as fast as_possible, and it will not now be long before all reason for complaint will have passed. Much of the sickness of the past can be traced to the overcrowdine of the men while proper quarters were being pre- pared. Malaria is the most common of the diseases among the troops. A malarial condition is the natural result of the climatic and sanitary conditions which prevail. Typhoid fever also has devel- oped to a serious degree. The average number of sick in the hospitals, in ad- dition to the number of men. relieved from duty by order of the physicians, is 800. The new cases reported to the hos- pitals daily average about forty. There have been twelve cases of smallpox among the soldiers so far. six of which have proved fatal. The regimental physicians haye advised the whitewashing of the soldlers’ quarters and the liberal use of corrosive subli- mate but there is not sufficient lime or corrosive sublimate, or even a good substitute, to be had. Smallpox is al- ways prevalent among the natlves, many having it as children. The doc- tors are doing everything possible to confine it among the natives. No cases have been reported for the past five days. The hospitals, which in the past, have been nothing more than death traps, are being put into sanitary condition. They are abundantly sup- plied with food and medicines are now obtainable at a moment’s notice. The Red Cross has been grossly misman- aged and has been of little assistance. Colonel Lippincott has steadily re- fused to give out any information to the press from his office up to to-day, and he does it now only through Gen- eral Otis. Colonel Lippincott said: “With cooler weather a radical 1m- provement is looked for.” General Otis recently inspected one «of the hospitals—the convent hospital, established since the capitulation of Manila—and said it was the finest he had ever visited. For the three months ending October 1 the number of deaths in this army from all causes number four officers and eighty-three enlisted men. NORTH CAROLINA'S WAR FOR WHITE SUPREMACY “Red-Shirts” Join in the Struggle ‘Which Was Begun Four Years Ago. RALEIGH, N. C., Nov. 2—The fight now being waged for white supremacy in North Carolina began four years ago. Persons opposed to the Democratic party obtained control of the Legislature, which resulted in the complete overturn- ing of the order of things which had been | in existence for more than twenty years. The negro came to the front as a politl- cal issue. The black vote is 110, and entirely solid, not more than 2 per cent ever failing to vote the Republican ticket, White Republicans during the last four years have been forced to give the ne- groes offices and now there are about 1000 | in_various positions. . What are known as ‘“red shirt” organ- izations are now formed along the South Carolina border. Not since 1876 have red shirts been worn in North Carolina in political campaigns. Yesterday a_ thou sand men wearing red shirts paraded on CALIFORNIANS ARE WEARY OF BARRACK LIFE Would Hail a Recall From Manila. MANY OF THE SOLDIERS ILL el B TROPICAL CONDITIONS ALMOST UNBEARABLE. Lack of Reading Matter One Misfor- tune Which the People of the Btate Could Remedy Easily. BY CORPORAL FRED A. HEALY. Special Correspondence of The Call MANILA, Oct. 7.—Should you ask a soldier of the California Volunteers what is his dearest wish, what he at present desires above and beyond all else, he would tell you that the one thing that would make him happy is to get home. Ask him what is the next best thing he could wish for and his answer will be it is to get half way home. The boys who have gone through the hardships and dan- gers of active campaigning, who have endured all the privations and discom- forts of the trenches and the field with- out a murmur cannot stand the deadly monotony and wearing Inactivity of garrison life without longing to again taste those home delights which they forsook when they changed the white shirt and patent leathers of the civilian for the blue flannel and brogans of the military hero. They argue they left good homes and well-paid positions to enlist as volunteers because they thought that there was fighting to be done and their country was in need of its young, strong and fearless manhood. Now, that the fighting is over and the dove of peace has taken itself to roost on the broken flagstaff of Spain, they say that it is only proper that they should be allowed to return to the places In civil life which they left, and that if Uncle Sam needs a garrison it should be made up of regulars, of men to whom soldiering is a profession and a means of livelihood in peace as well as in war. There have been rumors upon rumors to the effect that an early departure for the States is scheduled for some of tne regiments at present stationed here, and the betting on which regiments will be the lucky ones and the Jates on which they will leave for home has been lively in the extreme, some wager- ing that we are to be the first to go, and Sthers that we are to remain until the the wav horseba¢k’ at Lauremburg. he negyo fears a ‘red shirt” as he fears no other being on earth. YALE STUDENT MADE : CRAZY BY OVERWORK Clad Only in His Nightshir. He Runs Through the Streets of New Haven. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 2.—Jacob of Yale University, who has been work- ing very hard and earning his way, sud- denly became insane this morning. Verbe dashed out of his room, clad only in his nightshirt, with a Bible in his hand, and started directly across the green for the town pump, where he was found by a policeman, who took him to the central In the pctice station Verbe called for several of the professors of the Divinity School, who were sent for by the police. They had the young man taken to Grace Hospital for treatment. Verbe entered the Divinity School this fall from Lebanon Valley College. His home is in Philadelphia, and he appears to be about 38 years old. He has been getting his own meals and his classmates believed that he llved on one meal a day. He usually studied untii 4 o'clock in the morning. {NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR ORDINATION DANBURY, Conn.,, Nov. 2—Edward Russe]l Evans, a cousin of Captain Rob- ley D. Evans of the United States navy, was to have. been ordained a clergyman of the Congregational church last even- ing in Redding. A sensation was created by an abrupt announcement to the'large congregation which assembled to see the ceremony that the council had decided that the young mans views upon theo- logical matters were such that the church could not accept him. The young man is a student at Yale Divinity School, and wiil complete his course there in the spri EX-SENATOR HILL ON REPUBLICAI. “FEAAS” NEW YORK, Nov. 2—Ex-Senator David B. Hill made an interesting speech at Carnegie Hall to-night. In the course of his remarks Mr. Hill said: This terrible anxiety, la of our-Republican friends, the war may be renewed Democratic victory, is really pitiful. It is also difficult to appreciate the appre- hension of our opponents that the Demo- crats may embarrass the President in perfecting his plans for securnig perman- ent peace. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, in a s?eech in this city last week, In one of his flights of fancy, said in substance that if his audfence was not in favor of plac- ing the people of the thpglna Islands back under the rule of Spanish tyranny they should vote for the Republican State ticket, canal frauds, Raines law, force bill and all. T beg to suggest to the dis- tinguished Senator that neither he nor anyhody else knows what the policy of the g’recen( administration may as ' to the hlllrplnel. That policy has ‘never been declared; on the contrary, , has been carefully concealed. The only ex- pression heard from any member of the administration _was from the ex-Secre- tary of State, Mr. Day, now one of our Peace Commissioners at Paris, who some time ago publicly announced that he did not_favor the retention of those islands. Perhaps he spoke the President's own views; who knows? i The truth seems to be that the Demo- cratic hostility which _is apPuhmd.d springs from a Republican fear that some unduly liberal, over-generous terms of peace, involving a e surrender some of the conquer‘d territory, may approved by the administration, 'to which Democratic_opposition would naturally be sxpecies, i, muapicion feay fn, tia eace Nego! 3 ubted- y not :ag ermitted to be concluded until ly affected, or fear that in case of a st J is what Republican ministration nmmlesdeu fear, rather than Democrat endship ;rh_lxmmmy for anything that is Span- Jast. ‘lThe dates range all 5, from 'the early t of next month'to a year from ne anuary. As it is nothing t¢ definitely known, so ancer- tainty is added tg the other specula- tive features of the situation. This much, however, is a certainty—that ninety-nine out of every hundred of the boys down here want to get home “the worst way.” Since our arrival in this place there has been a great deal of iliness in the regiment, principally fever and dysen- tery, though smallpox' has also made its appearance among the troops and Verbe, a student in the Divinity School| has been attended by a frightfully| large percentage of loss, seven patients | having thus far died out of a total of twelve, if I am correctly informed. This scourge has come upon us in its most virulent form and all the efforts of careful nursing, backed by everything that medical science can suggest, seem to go for naught. One of our surgeons, Captain A. P. O'Brien, has been placed in charge of the smallpox hospital, ow- ing to the long and careful study he has madg of the disease and the expe- rience he has had with it while on the Board of Health at home. He cheer- fully accepted the post, though it is one attended by great danger and com- plete isolation, and the work he is do- ing for the afflicted should entitle him not only to the highest pralse, but to gome more substantial reward at the hands of his Government. He has suc- ceeded in checking the spread of the disease, at least for the time being, and I have heard of no new cases being reported in the last few days. The fever, which is both typhoid and malarial in its nature, and the dysen- tery have both been the cause of many deaths among the soldiery, though I am glad to say that, while we have lost some men from both of these causes, the mortality has been sur- prisingly small, considering the num- ber of men afflicted. 1 know' of one company, comprising 106 men, which could only turn out forty odd men to drill on one occasion. Yet this same company has thus far not lost a single man from disease. This must be ascribed to the splendid work which is being done by our regil- mental medical department, and to the untiring perseverance of Colonel Smith, who spares neither time nor energy in his efforts to improve the sanitary con- ditions of his men’s quarters and to provide for the comfort and health of his soldiers. He and Major McCarthy have just succeeded in obtaining a fine large building, capable of comfortably accommodating over & hundred men, which they purpose turning into a reg- imental hospital in the hope of rellev- ing the congestion which at present prevails in the division hospital, and providing a place where the boys from San Francisco may obtain the greatest care possible in their illness. This building has been thoroughly renovated after election, confirms this view of the | '"fi'moo:?huc hostility to a humiliaty ems a ‘compromise mgfi?g n which may be e cepted by a and vacillating :fi: and will soon be ready for occupangy. Colonel Smith is also doing all in his power to provide for the increase of illness which is expected to come in a month or two, when the sickly season shall come upon us in full force, and when the need for proper hospital quarters is expect to be even greater than at present. While I am on this subject I wish to say to the people of San Francisco that the work they have done for their boys at the front cannot be too highly spoken of, and is deeply appreciated by the en- tire regiment, which desires to express through its colonel its deep gratitude to the ladies of the Native Daughters’ Red Cross Society, the Red Cross So- clety of California and to the Fire- men’s Association for the noble work they have done in the cause of human- ity and for the comforts and delica- cies the troops have been able to enjoy through the generosity and thought- fulness of these good people at home. _There is another gentleman connected with the regiment whose work and in- fluence among the boys cannot be over- estimated. That gentleman is our chaplain, Father McKinnon. He works | day and night, atterding to the wants, both spiritual and temporal, of his boys, and by his ‘untiri; 1abor in their be- himself to the many kindnesses 1898. He Is forever thinking of.some little thing he can do to make the exile of the boys a little more bearable, and in his efforts neither work, influence nor personal ‘expense is sp: He knows 1o religion in the good he does. The Jew, the Protestant and the Catholic fare just the same at his hands. Be- sides his priestly and military dutles, he has been put in charge of the city’s schools and cemeteries, the care of which alone involves an immense amount of labor, The quarters of the California troops are about the most pleasant in Manila. The First Battalion is quartered in the place which was formerly the residence of the Governor General of Manila. It is situated on the south bank of the Pasig River, in the district of Malica- ban; the Second Battalion is on the same side of the river a little nearer the center of the town, in the district of San Miguel, while the Third Battal- ion is barracked across from them on the same side of the river and a little :?tr;her down, nearer the center of the The boys arise at 5:45 o'clock in the morning, get breakfast, and then drill for about an hour, while the morning is yet cool. Drill over, all save those who are detailed for guard duty, are al- lowed to do as they please until 11 o'clock, at which hour they must re- port in quarters, where they remain | until 8 in the afternoon, writing, play- ing cards, sleeping or passing the time in any manner they please, so long as they do not go out. This order keeping them in is made to prevent them walking about in the terrible heat of the tropical midday. After 3 o'clock they may again go out, so long as they appear for dress parade at b in the afternoon, after which ceremony comes supper, then more liberty until 9:45, at which hour all must be at home and in bed. Numbers of the boys from different companies are on special detall in the quartermaster’s, commissary, custom house or other departments. These fellows are allowed ration money and commutation of quarters and live apart from their companies. In many cases they club together and rent lit- tle households of their own, living very comfortably on a very small amount of money. The one thing that the boys down here do long for, and the lack of which they greatly deplore, is good reading matter. The men have so much time on their hands (the climate making it impossible to do work other than that which is an absolute necessity) that they find it hard to know what to do to pass the hours along, and a supply of reading material, such as histories, biographies, novels and magazines, would be a perfect Godsend. The Call, which is about the only paper that makes any sort of a showing down here, helps much. But books are what we want when once the news has been digested, and there must be many an old volume floating around the homes of San Francisco which could be easily spared. The city is full of embryo soldiers who have come down here in one posi- tion or another connected with the dif- ferent staffs, commissary or duarter- master's departments,. who strut around in all the glory of gold lace and shoulder straps and look down with a high and lofty disdain on the fellows who carry a gun. These young gold- washed sprigs of army aristocracy are, for the most part, sons of wealthy or influential families at-home, who have never shouldered a gun in their lives or who could not tell their right foot from their left without turning around. They have been appointed ta soft bil- lets in preference to the men who did the work and having had nothing but a summer holiday themselves are ut- terly incapable of appreciating what the real men have gone through. They sneer at and belittle the work which they themselves did not face and cast a damper on the achfevements in which they had no part. The reports they will take home concerning the work of the troops and the shadow they will cast on the brilllancy of our.Oriental conquest will be materially deepened by the jealousy existing among the troops themselves. Each regiment is so much afraid of being outdone by the other that every possible honor has at least a half dozen claimants, each of whom, while endeavoring to claim everything for itself, does all in its power to decry the work of the others. The consequence is a great amount of lying and the consequent confusion is such that the seeker after truth is lost in a wilderness of misstatement and end by adisbelieving everything and putting the army down as an aggrega- tion of inconsequential braggarts. For- tunately the position of California's boys is so well defined that it is be- yond question and even the most en- vious are forced to admit that from the day they marched into the Presidlo to the day they stood beneath the walls of Manila they have been absolutely the first in everything. As I said at the beginning of this article the boys are all anxious to get home. Yet the regiment has used no influence to accomplish thar end. It is composed of soldiers, not of poli- ticians. However much the boys may wish to see their homes they will not ask to be sent there, but will wait pa- tiently until their Government says “‘come,” then they will go as they went forward to the conquest of Manila— with a ringing cheer, each fellow rac- ing in the endeavor to be first. PROMOTER HOOLEY ON THE WITNESS STAND What He Paid Sir Willlam Marriott and the Marquis of Abergavanny for Patronage. K LONDON, Nov. 2.—The examination of Mr. Hooley in the bankruptcy proceed- ings was resumed to-day and attracted much attention. Hooley continued to testify to the amounts, large and small, paid to the trustees and directors in con- nection with his promotions. He created a_sensation by !nylnf that he paid Sir William Marriott £1000 for introducin; him at the -Carlton Club, and assert: later that he pald £10,000 to the Marquis of Abergavanny, a prominent Conserva- tive, for the party fund. The witness did not know whether the money reached the party or_not. Subsequently Mr. Hooley explained that he paid the Marquis of Abergavanny £| first and then a sec- ond £5000 because he was told that he had promised £10,000. “But,” the witness interjected, “that was a lie.” PROMOTER’S HEAVY FINE.
