S Epeclal Dispatch to The Call. B R S e Committee, and wife were passengers on | the Cunard liner Lucania, that reached New York City to-day. They have been traveling in England, Ireland, Scotland, Switzerland and Wales for - several menths, Senator Jones said he had been greatly improved by his travels, and felt able to go into the work necessary in get- ting ready for the Pres.dential campaign. Senator Jones, when asked to give his views on the political uation, said that owing to his iong absence abroad he was not as fully informed as to political con- ditions as he hoped to be in a few weeks. When asked his opinion as to the proba- sility of the Democratic_nomination for : Presidency going to W. J. Bryan he There is no doubt that Bryan will re- ceive the Democratic nomination for Pres- ident,” and added, *“has anybody any { doubt on that question? Bryan is sure to win.” On the attitude of Richard Croker as to the nomination of Bryan for President, Senator Jones had little to say, merely re- plving to a direct question: ‘‘Croker is &l- ready in line.” As to the possible outcome of the na tional campaign of 1900, Senator Jones s | he believed that the free silver idea would have a greater following than in the cam- paign of 1396, He based thi: ertion on the fact that the Democratic party would cceive support in 1800 from a new source. In_ 1896,’" he said, ‘‘there were many Republicans and others who believed that the Republican party declared for lism the declaration was made in rity. These men now doubt the { that plank of the Republican sincerit; platform. When asked what effect he thought the apparent prosperity in the Western States would have on Democratic issues, Sen- | ator Jones said: | " “Yes, I know they say at Washington that the country is in a highly prosperous | condition, and = perhaps that is correct from certain standpoints. But I cannot see that there IS any great material pros- perity among_the agricultural and simi- lar classes. It does not appear to have affected the farmer, nor has it done mucl as yet for the laboring man in general. e vance to speak of in price. That argu- ment can be readily answered when the | time comes. Of course, there has been an increase in the output of gold, and that is bound to affect politics in some de- gree, greater or less. But that is only a proof of the arguments advanced by us in 1596, that what the country needed was a greater volum in circulation.” When asked ct he thought the lle the vot e rrow in their political and social ws. That voter it will influence, but in reality it will be an argument in favor of our party.” He said that it was his opinion that the opposing Presidential _candidate in 1900 would be President McKinley. The Demo- | cratic platform, he declared, would launched in that year on comparatively the same basis and contain essentially the same planks as In 1806, The ty would declare for free silver at the same ratio, | and "he thought about the only addition | to or change in the party platform of an: moment would be a plank relative to anti- mperfalism. That, he asserted, would un- doubtedly be one of the important issues |in the campaign. He refused to discuss the matter any more than to say, with & wave of the hand, “Everybody knows | what imperfalism means. The questio | under discussion means just the revers During the afternoon and evening sev- eral men prominent in public life called on Senator ‘Jones. Among them was George Frederick Willlams of Massachu- setts, and it is presumed there was a con- ference over political matters and plans - | for the coming campaign. STRUCK A YOUNG LADY IN THE FACE De Los Noble Roughly Hardled by an Infuriated Mob in Sausalito. BAUSALITO, Oct. 8.—De Los Noble, a member of the local brass band, was nearly beaten to death to-day by a crowd of infuriated citizens because of a | on a respectable young lady. He was sneaked out of the crowd by several of his friends, who succeeded In securing his | release by strategy and hurried him | away in time to save his life. | _Noble had just come off the | san Rafael, | cursion around the bay, when he met | Miss Viera, the sister of Fireman Manuel Viera, and struck her a powerful blow in the face, knocking the girl to the floor. Cornelius Mahar, the nearest wit- ness, promptly felled Noble, and a crowd rushed in with shouts of ‘“kill him, | “lynch the coward,” and buffeted Noble | around for several minutes before he was torn away and carried off in a bloody and semi-conscious condition by a few of the cooler heads. Manuel Viera tried to_brain Noble, but was restraind. It 1s alleged by her relatives that the young Noble's assault was due to | lady refusing to keep company with him | longer for good reasons. Noble was per- | fectly sober when he committed the deed. | More trouble is expected over the affair. MINNESOTANS RECEIVED. TACOMA, Oct. 8—Seven hundred soldiers of the Thirteenth Minnesota Regiment were the guests of Tacoma this afternoon and received a most enthusi- astic reception. The regiment arrived in two sectlons of a special train and was greeted at the depot by many thousands of people. A parade then took place and the local companies of the National Guard, together with the Tacoma mili- tary band, the Delano Drum corps and the G. A. R., acted as escort to the visitors. A fine banquet was served by the Red Cross Soclety, and the soldiers were taken in charge by the citizens’ committec and given the freedom of the city. During the afternoon they visited the many points of interest in this vi- cinity, and on all sides spoke highly of the reception accorded them. any of the officers and men were the guests of former Minnesotans, who now reside here.

With a cocked .revolver pointed straight at his head and following his every move, Jockey Norman Breedin literally “rode for his life” to-day, and on George Brown's mare Flora B passed under the wire a winner in one of the most sensational horse races probably ever wit- nessed on a track. The revolver which so effectually alded in the determination of the race was held by one of the backers of the mare. Shortly before the horses went to the post it was rumored that Breedin had been paid to throw the race. One of the men who had bet on Flora B, just as the boy got into the saddle, significantly informed him that he had better ride to win. Another man, who also had placed his money on the mare, took his position at the turn where, as Breedin flashed by, he displayed a gun. As the jockey came into the stretch he was covered by a revolver, pointed by a third backer of Flora B. Immediately the boy went to work on his mount with whip and heels with such good effect that the mare passed under the wire well in the lead of the two other horses that took part in the running.
