PLEDGE VOTES FOB EXGLUSION Three Hundred and Two Merubers of Congress So Decide. 3 s Many Who Were Classed as Doubtful Are Now in Favor of the Bill Special Dispatch to The Call. . NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—Since the Chinese exclusion poll was published in The Call last Thursday many replies have been re- ceived from members of Congress who were then classed as doubtful. The re- sult to date shows that two-thirds of the Senators and four-fifths of the Represen- tatives are pledged to vote for exclusion. Senator Frye, who was considered doubt- ful, will vote for thé exciusion bill. So will Senator Warren of Wyoming, who was reported by a San Francisco paper to be opposed to exclusion. The unreliability of this paper’'s canvass is shown by the fact that Mondell of Wyo- ming was classed as doubtful, when as. a matter of fact he is one of the leading spirits opposed to Chinese immigration, and has introduced a bill excluding the Chinese. Two hundred and eighty-eight Repre- sentatives have signified their intention of voting for exclusion out of & total mem- bership of 357, and fifty-four Senators out of a total of eighty-eight (there are two vacancies). Senator Hawley writes: “You need have no apprehension regarding the passage of the exclusion bill.” Senator Stewart says: position-so far as 1 can see. The only outspoken opponent of exclu- sion is Henry C. Smith of Michigan. Oth- <rg who were reported to be opposed have now come out in favor of exclusion. Fourteen Representatives, while not stat- ing positively how they will vote, predict the passage of the exclusion bill. = They will all vote for exclusion, however, This increases the grand total to 302. WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—Senator Pe! kins to-day introduced a Chinese exclu sion bill, the provisions of which are the same as those of the measure prepared by Chinese Inspector Dunn of San Francisco and Commissioner Powderly and introduced in the House by Repre- sentative Kahn. CONGRESS WILL BE ASKED TO ERECT MEMORIAL ARCH Directors of the National Association Determine to Change the Plan of Operation. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. $.—The Wil- liam McKinley National Arch Association has determined to change its plan of operation, and to appeal to Congress in- stead of the public for the erection of the proposed McKinley memorial in Wash- ington. Secretary Gage offered the following seconded by ere is no op- resolutions, which were Thomas F. Walsh and adopted: Whereas, Through a. resolution presented to ttee by the trustees of the McKin- Association, it is rumored that & ountry for subscriptions to the proposed memorial arch in Washington will be prejudicial if not destructive to the erection of & proper monument or memorial over the re- mains of the late President at Canton; there. hat this committee give up its appeal to the country for popular contributions for the memorial arch in Washington and turn its efforts to secure from Congress an appro- priation from the public treasury sufficient in amount to erect in Washington a memorial which, in a fitting manner, shall represent the ti appreiation of the notable character and_distinguished public services of Willlam McKinley. The association will be reincorporated and contributions received by the associ- ation for the proposed memorial arch will be returned. —_——— FNEUMONIA ALMOST WIPES OUT AN ENTIRE FAMILY Mother, Son and Daughter Dead, An- other Daughter Dying, and Father Also Il DENVER, Dec. $—Four members of one family in this city have been stricken with pneumonia in the past week and three of them are dead. The dead are: Samuel Johnston, a young printer; his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Johnston, and h! sister, Miss Mary Jonnston. v Another sister, Miss Margaret Johnston is sald to be ‘dying. The mother and sisters overtaxed their strength in at- tendance upon the young man, who was first taken ill. The husband and father, Henry Johnston, is 1l at his ranch in the jhountains. All ‘the members of the fam. ¥, s sald, were subject to y e 2] pulmonary bl Fight Against Railway Combine. MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 9—Now that Governor Van Sant has heard from all the Governors of Northwestern States on the question of the railway merger, some are expecting him to call a confer. ence at once. It can be safely stated that the Governor is not going to indulge in any side issues or jaunts just at pres- ent. He has set the machinery going and within the week Atlorne%' General Doug- jass will have the railways in court. There is no occasion for the Governor to move in other directions until the legal remedy is exhausted. He will corre- further with the Governors, but will not call any conference at presen ADVERTISEMENTS. *7 sleep well enough at night, « Ever mortal man possessed.” % ’s farmer is the very picture of a ment of perfect health, A good supe THE SAN FRAN OIS CO CALL, TUESDAY, ST. SEVER BEATS JOHN PETERS IN A VERY EXCITING FINISH Schorr Colt Supposed to Be the Choicest Morsel on the Card at Oakland—Track 'Is Still Slow and Four Choices Go Down. Doublet Comes in Ahead of the English Horse, Royal Flush NLY on_rare occasions does Johnny Schorr let one out of the slips that fails to return with the coin, but the astute young trainer from. Memphis stubbed his toe at Oakland yesterday. The two- year-cld John Peters was served .up pip- ing hot off the coals in the two-year-old event, and after the youngster's odds had been cut and slashed from 5 down to even money he was beaten out a head by Dr. Rcwell’s 8t. Sever, a 5 to 1 chance. Possibly if Evander, with Winnie O’Con- nor up, had been out of the race John Peters might have won. The latter raced away in front with him for several panels and certainly did the Schorr entry no- favor. Then after getting away from one or two squalls “Jess” Matthews hur- ried along with St. Sever and in a very busy finish with Johnny Woods earned the decislon. Owen Mounce made a very wide detour with Dr. Scharff or else the last named unlucky two-year-old might have been a stronger factor at the finish. At any rate, the admirers of the winner were enabled to get a very long quota- tion. Track Is Still Heavy. The track had not dried up as much as expected, still being noticeably freckled with damp and heavy patches. Perhaps to this fact can be attributed in part the defeat of four favorites. The attendance was quite up to the standard, and there was a raft of coin in the ring. Another of Harry Stover’s “birds” left his perch in a gilded cage long enough to scoop the opening dash. Backed from 9 to 6 to 13 to 10 or worse, Native flapped his wings a couple of times and flew in five lengths before Torsina. Nearly all of the books were hard hit. From his apparent lack of speed Galanthus had not recovered from his hard race of last Saturday. Jimmy Cof- fey’s horse ruled a stanch choice over Herculean for the mile and a sixteenth run, and turned out easy prey for the lant chestnut. Bullman rode the latter, nishing first by four lengths at the wire. Darlene ran a fair third. Frank Bell Meets Defeat. An elaborate array of speed faced the starter in the five and a half furlong purse affair, with Frank Bell the closing favorite at 9 to 5. It was figured that the general conditions best fitted the St. Louis “Hindoe,” but he failed to eonnect, ending up in third place. ounce on Doublet rode a nicely judged race so far as choosing the better going was con- cerned, and in an exciting three-neck scrimmage in front of the judges won out from the Britisher, Royal Flush, by a neck. Beau Ormonde started for the first tyme this season, and, heaviily played, disappointed his backers. Still, the aristocratic fellow ran a most be- coming race, and had he had the benefit of a race in him would have taken a world of beating. Possessing the most speed of the party, Orleans captured the mile selling run. It was possibly farther than the filly cares to run, but getting careful treatment at the hands of O'Neil she downed Plohn a neck. Bangor sulked the first part, as usual, dropping in third. P. Corrigan won his first purse at the meeéting with Commonwealth Attorney in the closing seven furlong jaunt. The geld- ing went to the post at odds of 5 to 1 and in a drive beat the good thing, Malaise, half a length. Diomed would have won had he not been cut off at the start. Track Notes. George Rose and Frank Eckert, two of the best known and most popular book- makers on the big tracks of this country, arrived here from the East Sunday night, Frank Eckert viewed the sport from thé' ground yesterday, but Mr. Rose will rest up for a day or so before cutting in. Tom Quinn, one of the cleverest block- men in the business, was kept busy shak- ing hands with friends yesterday, being a fresh arrival from the East. Tom is a brother of Charley, John and Jim Quinxn. Jake Holtman fined Johnny Woods $25 for disobedience at the post on John Pe- ters. Tom Ryan was again on hand to bid Dr. Dowell's St. Sever up. The gelding was entered to be sold for $600 and his win cost the doctor a $400 boost. President Willlams cautioned the dif- ferent cashiers of books yvesterday to be careful and extend cordial treatment to all bettors in the excercise of their duties. There has been some complaint on this score of late. 3 Jesse Matthews carried off the honors by _riding two winners.

At a meeting of the California Cricket Association held last night the committee on batting and bowling averages, consist- ing of H. C. Casidy, J. J. Moriarty and A. G. Sheath, reported that the best bat- ting average during the season of 191 was made by Harold B. Richardson of the Pacific Cricket. Club, and the best bowling average was obtained by Bert Bird of the Alameda Cricket Club. Dur- ing the season just past Harold B. Rich- ardson was eight times at bat, completed six innings, and scored a total of 300 runs, glving an average of 50 runs. His high- est score in a single inning was 103. - Bert Bird took twenty-three wickets for 150 runs, the average cost being 6.50. A bat was presented to Harold B. Richardson and another to Bert Bird, the donor being Captain John Metcalfe, first viee presi- dent of the association. In calculating the averages all matches played under the auspices or with the sanction of the association were taken account of. The pennant presented by Edward Brewn to the club making' the best per- centage in pennant matches during the season was awarded to the Alameda Cricket Club, which played ten matches, winning five, drawing two and losing three, giving a percentage of .60. The delegates were addressed by A. E. Acklom, who stated that cricket would receive a great impetus if a suitable ground and pavilion could be secured, and suggested that a committee, be appointed to investlgate the possibilitf of procuring a ground and erecting - the necessary bullding thereon. The president will ap- point a>committee of pose. + Yo J. J. Morlarty, one of the delegates of the Ajam Cricket Club,. being absent in ithern California, Harold Ward was accepted as a delegate in his stead. —— Foptball Player Suspended. Dave Atkinson, the Rellance football player who' disgraced himself by striking Referee Jack Horan during the progress of the Olympic-Reliance game on Thanks- g]xvmg day, has been suspended from the club for a period of six months by the Board of Directors, and the Pacific' Ath- letic tion has been requested to also punish him. Atkinson mitigated his offense by sending a Jetter of apology to Mr. Horan. —— e “Dutch” Thurston Wins on a Foul. CHICAGO, Dec. 9—“Dutch” Thurston, the Pacific Coast welter-weight, won on a foul from Charley Burns of Cincinnati to-night at the American Athletic Club. The contest was scheduled for six 1ounds, but after two minutes’ fighting in the first round Burns hit his ?ponent low and Thurston was given the decision. The foul was apparently an accident, as Burns had a decided advantage when ‘he fight was stopped. ve " for -this pur- | BILLIARD PLAYER SLOSSON RECEIVES A BAD BEATING George Sutton ot%fi;:;go Easily De- feats Him at the International Tournament. NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—The surprise of the international billiard tournament occurred to-day in the afternoon game between George Sutton of Chicago and George Slosson of New York. Slosson, the start, and Sutton, by careful nursing and open table play, ran up 29 points. He followed this up by scores of 16, 22, 45, 20, 50 and 3%, while Slosson was unable to make any double figures. At the con- clusion of the seventh inning the score stood 230 to 35 in Sutton’s favor. From this point to the end of the game Slos- son had no_-chance of winning, although he played desperately. Sutton won the game in an_unfinished run of 34 in the twenty - ninth _inning. Score—Sutton, 400; Slosson, 136. The game in the evening, which was between Schaffer of Chicago and Barutel of France. was-a very swift one. Schaf- fer, after his three days’ rest, was in fine form, and his nursing of the balls was equal to any of his best previous per- formances. In open table play he showed wonderful dexterity. Barutel, while badly beaten, played a first-class game. Schaeffer will play orningstar to-morrow afternoon and in the evening he will meet his old advor- sary, Slosson. Score—Schaeffer, 400; Bar- utel, 203. Sas S, Western Jockey Club Meeting. CHICAGO, Dec. 9.—What promises to be one of the most interesting of the ‘Western Jockey Club meetings is in ses- sion here to-day. The board of stewards met at noon to elect officers and arrange dates for, the next year, but besides this a general adjustment of the troubles and sivalries among ‘“outlawed” tracks will take place. Local horsemen believe that after to-day’s meeting Western turf mat- ters will pass under the exclusive con- trol of this organization. It was an- nounced to-day that the ' opposition tracks at the Fair Grounds and Delmar, which heretofore have been a thorn in the jockey club's side, will become strong allies. Storms in Great Britain. LONDON, Dec. 9.—There were very se- vere gales and snowstorms, accompanied by: thunder and hail, throughout Great Britain yesterday. Much damage is re- ported as a result.

NEWCASTLE ON TYNE, Dec. 9.— Charlie McKeever of Philadelphia and Jack Palmer met here to-night in what was to have been a 15-round bout for a purse of £350. McKeever weighed 148 and Palmer 166 pounds. Palmer fouled repeatedly during the first round, Mec- Keever clearly outclassing him. At the beginning of the second round the crowd broke into the ring and a general fight ensued. The referee, after declaring the fight “no contest,” made his escape. . LONDON, Dec. 9.—The sporting papers this morning describe last night's fight between McKeever and Palmer a dis- graceful fiasco. They say that both almer and McKeever continuously in- fringed the rules and ignored the warn- ings of the referee. ey indulged in what Sporting Life calls a regular West- ern barroom scrap. Finally the referee stopped the fight. The police jumped on the stage and threatened both the pugil- ists with arrest.

CIGARMAKERS SUFFER DEFEAT Labor Leaders Refuse to Boycott the Machine- Made Goods. Metal Trades Federation Or- ganizes and Eiects Officers. — et SCRANTON, Pa., D ence of the American bor was in session onn adjournment being tai. morning in order to ¢ the several committees to consider ui. large number of resolutions still in their hands. There was a lively discussion on the floor over the question of boycotting ma- chine-made cigars. It is the same ques- tion that the Cigar-makers’ International Union has brought up at previous convea- tions of the federation, and the union has always been defeated in its fight against the introduction of machinery in the cigar trade. ‘At the present time not a ma- chine-made cigar in the United States, it is said, bears the label of the Cigar-mak- ers’ International Union. The matter came up in the form of a resoiution pre- sented by President Gompers, John C. Durnell and Thomas F. ‘iracey of the Cigar-makers’ Umon, and was referred to the committee on labels. 1t denounced a certain company tor making cigars by child labor and ‘machine ana called upon the federation to assist in uniomzing the various plants or the company. The committee reported the resoiution back with the recommendation that the word “‘machinery” be stricken out and the res- olution adopted. The cigar-makers opened their fight. "They insisted that the term “machinery” should not be eliminated and argued that cigars made by machin- ary are not as goeod as those made by hand, and that the machine drives hand cigar-makers out of business. The speak- ers in opposition to the cigar-makers’ proposition argued that to oppose ma- chinery would be folly. Mackines are used in many lines of trade and the union could not success- fully fight the law of progress. The moving of the previous question quickly ended the debate and the resolu- tion with the word “machinery” stricken out was adopted as recommended. The Metal Trades Federation, after a serles of meetings, finally organized to- day by electing officers. ~ Another meet- ing will be held to-morrow to. dispose of business still on hand. The following of- ficers were elected: President, E. J. Lynch, New York, national president of the Metal Polishers; vice presi- dent, Robert Kerr. Moline, 1I., national presi- dent’ of the Blacksmiths; secretary-treasurer, John .O'Leary, Worcester, Mass., president of the Coremakers.

Fine Recérd With Revolver. STOCKTON, Dec. 9.—Henry Kroeckel, inspector of rifle practice of the Sixth Regiment, National Guard of California, who recently bxroke all rifle records at 50 yards on the Columbian target, surpassed that performance yesterday when he scored 249 out of a possible 50 at fifty yeards, with a Colt's army _4s-caliber re- volver, three-pound pull. “The man-target was used and all the shots but one of the fifty struck within a few inches the region of the heart.

The statement of counsel was mostly a reiteration of facts already known The most interesting point was the announcement made by counsel that of’ score entities he would be able to prove that after Kelly had ‘“milked” Goudie to the ex- tent of £72,000 Burge got wind of the sit- uation and in conjunction with Laurie Marks, the American bookmaker, who is sald to have committed suicide by jump- ing overboard from a channel steamer, and James Mances, a bookmaker well known on the American tracks, decided not to leave Goudie in the hands of Kelly. The trio thereupon dispatched Mances to interview Goudie, with the re- sult that they accumulated £91,000, of which Burge ‘received one-half, Mances one-third and Marks one-sixth. FRENCH FINANCE MINISTER REPLIES TO HIS CRITICS Says That the Present Legislature Will Produce a Larger Surplus Than Ever Before. PARIS, Dec. 9.—In the Chamber of Deputies to-day the Minister of Finance, M. Caillaux, replied to criticisms of the budget proposals and to the pessimistic predictions of the adversaries of the re- public. The Minister said the year 1901 will develop a mnet deficit of 59,000,000 francs, but when the preceding surpluses are taken into consideration it will be found that the present Legislature pro- duced a surplus of 275,000,000 franes, which no Legislature had ever done before. The Finance Minister also said a gen- eral crisis existed in consequence of the South African war, which had an unfa- vorable influence on the French budget. In this regard, however, France had sut- fered less than other countries. ADVERTISEMENTS. QRO Beyond Question - Hunter Whiskey is the most perfect whiskey sold.
