Henc'e I will remain away from Eddie Conroy's office and see the game through to the finish. Says Pass Was Given Him. “He says he never spoke over fifty words to me in his life. This is palpably false on its face. I can prove that in one instance he secured me a pass to Los Angeles, and such favors are not gen- erally conferred upon those whose friend- ship has been clinched with a conversa- tion involving the exchange of but fifty words. He knows why he secured me the pass and so do my witnesses. I feel secure in the strength of my own position and will await results. My witnesses are ready and hence 1 do not fear that he | will force me to produce them in an ac- tion at law or other official investigation, | for he is aware that the truth cannot e | beaten down even by one In the exalted | position he now occupies.” | The only man who came at all near get- | ting his money back was Peter'Dann.

Ed- wards, Representing Four Companies. Thomas J. Conroy was appointed Pacific Coast manager of the insurance depart- ment of Balfour, Guthrie & Co. yesterday. There are four companies included in the department—the Manchester, Caledonia, American of New Jersey and American | of New York. Mr. Conroy has been act- | ing as the assistant manager for some | time, L. B. Edwards, the former man- | ager, having retired. George Brooks, who | has been the city agent of the four com- | panies, was made assistant manager. The | changes, which amounted to a reorgani- | zation of the department, were directed by G. S. P. Young of New York, who had authority from the four companies named to act as he saw fit. The new order of things took effect at once. All the parties concerned say that there was no motive but business considerations. Thomas J. Conroy, the new manager, has been connected with the insurance busi- | ness in San Francisco ov two score veal His first position w with the | Manhattan, in 1579. After a time he made a connection with the Fireman's Fund Insurance Company. Then for twelve vears he w sistant manager of the Board of Fire Underwriters of the Pacifl Next he was special agent of the Har ford, traveling for three years in the States of the Northwest. He was appoint- ed assistant manager of the Insurance de- partment of Balfour, Guthrie & Co. in Jan , 1888, and joint manager last | March.” 'His rise has been rapid. George Brooks, the new assistant manager, w: formerly city agent for the London and | Lancashire. He has been with the Bal- four-Guthrie agency only a comparativ short time. | The changes occasioned a buzz among the insurance men yesterday when news of the appointments and also of the retire- | ment of Mr. Edwards made know: During the past two y the insuran interests of the coast have been carefully studied b stern officlals. At one time the respective presidents of all four com- panies in Balfour, Guthrie & Co.’s insur- ance department were here to look things | over. Mr. Edwards will retain connection | with the same companles, acting in an- other capacity. CLARK EXPECTS TO BE RETURNED TO THE SENATE| Speelal Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, July 19.—Former United | States Senator W. A. Clark of Montana, who has been visiting his aged mother in this city and inspecting his sugar factory at Alamitos, in company with his brother. J. Ross Clark, has returned to New York | instead of going to his home in Butte City. | He will not pass his vacation in this coun- | try, but Wifi ail for Europe on Juli’ 28. This determination to absent himself is| tantamount to a belief that no extra ses- sion is now anticipated. “I am absolutely certain of a triumph in Montana at the ensuing election,” Mr. “and 1 expect to present my self at Washington next March with cre- dentlals as a United States Senator that | will be respected. This means that Mon- | tana will be Democratic.” | Mr. Clark said he was at a loss to ac- | count for the rumor that he would give $1,000,000 toward Bryan's campaign. His personal contribution to the Democratic | campaign committee will be in the neigh- | borhood of $50,000. | Nothin§ has happened to lessen the bit- ter enmity that exists between Marcus | Daly and Senator Clark. The fact of Clark reducing the hours and raising the | pay of the men in his mines will, it is | asserted by his friends, prove a heavy | blow to the Anaconda king. The differ- | ence In money, if Daly follows his pace, | represents a big percentage of his income. | This Clark can stand, as he need not share the profits with stockholders In his mines and has more copper ore in sight than he can smelt if he lives to be a centenarian. —_———— DEWEY DECLINES. Refuses to Become Candidate of the Anti-Imperialists. Special Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, July 19. — Admiral Dewey says he is out of politics and he declines to discuss or evem consider the suggestion that he might have the presi- dential nomination at the hands of those gho refuse to accept either McKinley or ryan. $0.50 | Admiral Dewey spent the greater part of to-day in this city and several of his friends mrentioned the favorable manner in which his name was received at the meeting of Anti-Imperialists held in New York last night. He dismissed the subject by saying he could not subscribe to the views of some of the participants in that gathering. —— - ‘Will Be Buried at the Presidio, The remains of Private Cardinell, late of Company F, First California Infantry, U. 8.

Morris and others. | lar club, | the County BOSSES SEI ZE A REPUBLICAN ROLL Crimmins and Kelly Ruffians in Forty-Fourth—Democrats Organize Clubs. RUFFIANLY attempt was made at § o'clock yesterday afternoon to seize and capture the official roll of the Forty-fourth District Republican Club. In the struggle for possession of the document the roll was torn in two pieces. L. A. Rea, execu- tive committeeman of the Republican County Committee and president of the Forty-fourth District officlal club, gives this account of the raid: “I was in my office at 1818-1322 Stockton street conferring with several gentlemen trom Fresno in regard to the establish- ment of an oil company, when my clerk called me out, saying some one wanted to see me. “I went to the door and saw that Mar- tin McGowan, Morris Bushway and James J. Cunningham were there. McGowan 5aid he beileved that the roll was stuffed. I called him into the rear room and pro- duced the roll to show him that the en- rollment was fair and regular throughout. | Suddenly he put both hands against my breast, pushed me over and instantly seized the roll. He passed the roil quickly | to Bushway, who instantly handed it to Cunningham. At once Cunningham start- | ed_to run at full speed down the street. | ““The purpose of the visit dawned on me | at once. 1 recovered my balance, threw | McGowan aside and gave chase to Cun- ningham. I overhauled him in front of a furniture store and landed him in the midst of a pile of furniture. Before selzing the roll to retake it I demanded its return, but Cunningham would not re- | iinquish his hold. There was then a gen- eral mix-up. I wrested the roil from his | grasp. Meanwhile McGowan and Bush- | way came to his assistance and a large | throng of people from neighboring stores and houses came out to help me. 1 got the roil and gave the ruffians my opinion of their conduct and the acts of the bosses | who sent them to do the work. In reporting the affair to the County | lent of the the opinion that the rounders who sought to seize the roll got their instructions from Kelly and Crimmins. The roll' contains the names of 600 voters, hence the bosses of the Mint saloon are anxious to get possession of it. When political bosses of the Kelly-Crim- mins ilk see defeat staring them in the face they do not scruple at smashing a ballot box or stealing a club roll. The Forty-third District Republican Club held a’large and enthusiastic meet- | ing last evening at California Hall, 620 | Bush strest. J. D. Hart presided and | Fred Tobelmann acted as secretary. The | meeting was a representative one and | harmonious throughout. Many old resi- | dents and property owners were present and took a keen interest in the proceed- ings. Sgr‘oches were made by T.

This is the regu- organized a year ago as the Grand Hotel anti-boss, anti-Crimmins and Kelly organization. The Bear Republican Club held its reg- ular weekly meeting last night at 131 Eddy street. Congressman Julius Kahn | addressed the meectin, and red the Tammany leaders of New York for their | connection with the great ice trust. The club is taking a deep interest in the drill | corps.
