Le Journal des Debats In- dorses the Policy of the United States. PARIS, Sept. 28.—The French press has been following closely the “armed inter- vention” of the United States in affairs | on the isthmus of Panama and the arti- | cles published include one from La | Prensa of Buenos Ayres, Argentina, Sep- tember 2, in which attention was called to the alleged tendency of the United | States toward imperialism as illustrated by the landing of American marines on | the isthmus and against which action the paper protests energetically. La Liberte to-night says the Latin | countrie® have several times clearly af- firmed their intention not to allow them- | selves to be absorbed by the United States. The great nations of Europe ought to support them vigorously in their | work of defense and self-preservation. It | is the especial duty of nations of the | same blood as theirs, says La Liberte, | Italy and Spain, to| stretch out a helping nand. | Le Journal des Debats, on the other hand, | indorses the policy of the United States toward the republics of South America. | This paper remarks tnat the American | Government does not need to repeat the | Monroe doctrine to Europe. The situa- | tion itself suffices to recall to the latter | that the American continent cannot longer | be a field of European political action. | The paper then says that the protest | against the landing of American marines | on the isthmus made by General Salazar, commander of the Colombian forces on | the isthmus, is futile and therefore of only mediocre interest. Intermedia says that Le Journal des| Debats scrupulously fulfilling the | duty imposed upon it by the treaty of | 1846 and it will fulfill this duty more and | more in the futures as the canal is com- pleted. The good old times of civil war at Panama are a thing of the past. DEFEAT A VETERAN TEAM | Raymond Clinch and Louis McKay. | of Berkeley, Surprise the Specta- tors at Golden Gate Park. | Raymond Clinch and Louis McKay, two | roung players from Berkeley, carried off the honors on Golden Gate Park tennis courts yesterday. Aided by a small han- | dicap in each of their matches they won by & small margin. In their first match, in which they were opposed to R. N.| Whitney and Will Allen, the scratch | from the California Club, they caused a genuine surprise by beating the veterans with a handicap that seemed ! meager. Whitney and Allen went back *“fifteen,” while their opponents received odds of “fifteen.” With this handicap the veterans were expected to win without much difficulty, but after a short, close the younger players won out. | The score was 6-1, 1-6, 6-4. 1 The final match between James A. Code | and Kenneth Marr and Clinch and McKay | was probably the most stubbornly con- tested one ever played on the public courts. After losing the first two sets Code and Marr went in with a determina- tion to win and annexed the next two sets handily. In the last set it was nip | and tuck throughout until the handicap | men, by a couple of well-placed strokes, put an end to the match. Clinch and Mec- Kay received a handicap of “one-half of 15" and won by a score of §-7, 6-2, 2-6, 3-6, 8-6. In the entire match of five sets the | winners won but one more game than the | In the first set Code and Marr had a lead of 5-2 and 40-15, and it seemed they could hardly lose the set, but their opponents, by superior steadiness, man- aged to pull it out. In the other half of the semi-finals Code | and Marr allowed J. F. Brady and T. D. Black odds of “4-6 of 15” and won in | traight sets. The score was 6-1, 6-4. The handicapping was done remarkably well, | considering the inexperience of those in | harge. By virtue of this victory the win- ners will have their names engraved upon the silver challenge cups. The first tour- | nament was won by Routh and Dunlap. | The clubmen took advantage of the mild weather yesterday and the California | Club courts were occupied all day. The best match was a doubles, in which H. W. Crowell and F. S. Nelson beat Harry | Wiehe and W. B. Collier. The score was 1-8, 6-2, 7-5, 5-4. Other scores: Alec Beyfuss and John Gibson j i beat J.

DISGOUNT RATE SUSPECT MAY WEST MINSTRELS 15 UNCHANGED| BE KID GOUGHER| UP TO STANDARD Bank of England Gives Aid to the Stock Market. Shares Continue Weak and Values Show a Marked Shrinkage. LONDON, Sept. 22.—The fact that the Bank of England rate if discount, 3 per | cent, to-day remains unchanged from the figure quoted for the past eight months, has caused satisfaction and imparted a feeling of steadiness to a situation which is otherwise regarded as decidedly uncer- tain. In all other quarters the value of money has risen persistently. The an- nouncement that the bank had no imme- diate intention of raisnig its rate of dis- count had no visible effect in making money easier. Brokers' rates, in fact, have risen to 3% and 3% per cent, and in consequence of this rise much discount business is going to the Bank of Eng- land. The position of the bank remains strong, for although the reserve and bullion are both $2,000,000 less than a year ago, the totals are several million pounds higher than usual at this time of the year. That the bank exchange has not been weakened by the American need of gold is attributed to New York's inability to draw freely on London, owing to the heavy American credits which already have been opened in Europe. Of the gold | taken out of the Bank of England re- cently a considerable portion has gone to South America, the demand there having assumed important dimensions. The depression on shares was more than ever accentuated last week, and the shrinkage in values developed in some cases to really alarming slumps in in- vestment hitherto considered invulnerable. The downward movement in British rail- road shares continues and consols have been unable to survive the general weak- ness. Mines were sluggish and declining and miscellaneous stocks participated in the generally lower tendency. ARERT G BERLIN BOERSE IS WEAK. Operators Closely Watch Every Move- ment in Wall Street. BERLIN, Sept. 28.—All the financial re- views point out that the market here has been watching Wall street through- out the past week with the keenest at- tention and say the prospects for specula- tion here are not regarded as bright. The prosperity of the United States awakens interest in the American situation. The general tenor of financial comment is full of distrust. Nevertheless, the Frankfur- ter Zeitung, which all along has been skeptical of the Wall street boom, admits to-day that Europe, and particularly Ger- many, has underestimated the strength of the American market and has taken fright too soon. The paper says that all reports which are now being recelved here from American bankers agree that in view of the week's strength, excellent crops and for the coming large financial projects, no crash is feared in America. New York was actively seeking money here last week, offering § per cent inter- est and high commission. Most departments of the Berlin market showed declines last week, but without pronounced weakness. The rise In money rates depressed domestic and foreign loank. Industrial shares were mostly low- er during the week. The announcement of a failure of the Rheihan-Manheim Chemical Company, which was accompanied by revelations of forged balance sheets for eight vears past, made a painful impression on the market. ————— FLYCASTER GOLCHER LEADS IN LONG-DISTANCE WORK Champion Walter D.

A fifteen-bail pool tournament in which the best players now on the Pacific Coast have entered, will be opened this after- noon at the Baldwin Annex Billiard Par- lor. Pocket-pool is again becoming the fad in this city, especially with players of the better class, and with the available talent the tournament should prove an interesting one to the lovers of the game. Two hundred dollars in cash prizes, $100 to the winner, $60 to second and $40 to third will have a tendency to bring out the merits of the contestants. Those who have entered are W. W. King, champion of Chicago, B. H. Brumby of Chicago, Charles Erickson of New York and W. H. George, J. Burrows and G. W. Becker of San Francisco. Games will be played afternoon and evening until a conclusion is reached. The tournament will be under the supervision of James W.

Arrest is Made in Sutter And Identification Is Being Awaited. ‘WOODLAND, Sept. 28.—Late yesterday afternoon a young man arrested in Sutter | County was lodged in the County Jail on suspicion that he is Kid Goucher, wanted in San Francisco on a charge of murder. Deputy Sheriff Snowball has had the man under surveillance for some time. A resident of Fresno saw the suspect and confirmed the suspicions of the Deputy Sheriff. The San Francisco Chief of Police was notified and requested to send a photo- graph of Goucher. The picture arrived to- day. It was taken five or six years ago. There are some points of resemblance to the prisoner about it. Fred Brendel, a young man of this city was a classmate of Goucher in the Fresno High School. He called at the jall to-day to see the prisoner, but after studying him closely was unable to say whether or not he is Goucher. He declares that the lower part of the suspect’s face resem- ibles that of his old schoolmate very much. Under Sheriff Brown telegraphed to the Chief of Police again this afternoon. If some one is not sent from San Fran- cisco to identify the prisoner he will be released on Monday. He says his name is Belmont. £ @ il @ FORTS SALUTE THE EXPLORERS Extend a Welcome to Captain Sverdrup and Party. CHRISTIANIA, Norway, Sept. 28.—Es- corted by warships and numerous pleas- | ure steamers, Captain Sverdrup’s Arctic expedition on the Fram entered Chris- tiania harbor to-day. The Fram was sa- luted by the fort and welcomed by thou- sands of spectators as she entered the harbor, where flags were flying from every | mast. Sir Clements Robert Markham, presi- dent of the Royal Geological Survey of Great Britain, who is now here, regards Captain Sverdrup’s expedition as the most important since the Franklin expedition. King Oscar, Emperor William and King Emmanuel have telegraphed words of welcome to Captain Sverdrup. The Fram returned to Stavenger, Nor- way, September 19, after more than four years in the Arctic regions. AYERS OF ALAMEDA WINS FROM SCULLER BAKER Thorning and Sherry Collide at the Turning Stake and Wreck Their Frail Skiffs. Two single skiff match races between rowing champions of the Alameda Boat- ing Club and the Dolphin Club of San Francisco took place on Oakland estu- ary yesterday morning. One resulted in a decision. In the other the contestants collided when half way over the course and wrecked their skiffs. Fred W. Ayers of the Alameda Boating Club and George Baker of the Dolphin Club were opponents in the first race over a mile and a half course with a turn. Ayers won by five lengths in 10:48. He led Baker from start to finish by a narrow margin and had to do his best to cross the line a winner. F. W. Thorning of the Alameda Boating Club and Fred J. Sherry of the Dolphin Club were the entries in the junfor single skiff race. This was but half finished when the frail crafts crashed together and capsized. Much rivalry existed between these oarsmen and they started at a record breaking pace. They pulled stroke for stroke to the turning stake. Each was endeavoring to round this at the time the collision occurred. Thorning and Sherry admitted that each was to a de- gree responsible for the collision, but the Alameda sculler insisted that the Dolphin man encroached on his right of way. After investigating and conferring the judges declared the contest no race. Both oarsmen were backed by large delegations of admirers from their re- spective clubs and the outcome was a | general disappointment. The skiffs were badly damaged. The officials of the matches were: T. I Fitzpatrick of the South End Rowing Club, referee; John T. | Sullivan of the Plonerr Club, starter; | David Greenleaf of the Alameda Boating | Club and Herbert Hauser of the Olympic Club, timers; Emil Cashman and Charles | Jenkins of the South End Rowing Club, judges. Ayers was awarded a $50 medal. ksl i A UMPIRE O'DAY IS MOBBED BY ANGRY SPECTATORS Puts Donlin Out of the Game for Ob- jecting to a Bad De- cision. NATIONAL LEAGUE.

A house crammed to its every corner welcomed the W. H. West Minstrels at the California Theater last night. E. W. Chipman succeeds to the late interloc- utor’'s chair, and though quite happy at the business, does not quite live up to the suave magnificence of the late Mr. West. The show is particularly good; good singers, good songs, good fooling. Billy Van has been more at home with his jokes than he was last night, but suc- ceeded in gripping his house as usual. John H. King’' pleasant voice gives out in a song that will be all over town to-day, “Home Ain’t Nothing Like This,” and he has also a bright coon scrimmage with Frank MacMahon. George Jones, the young barytone, surprises and pleases as usual; Jules Bennett is stunning in “If Time Was Money,” and Clement Stewart shows a light sweet tenor in “Dreaming.” The finale of the “Second Edition,” an ar- “Way Wown Upon the Su- is the best the West Min- strels have ever given. A fine olio, with the “silver shower” clog dancers, Ed Ford and Brothers Max, as special attrac- tions, ends the excellent bill. v e e Five brand new turns, all of them clever and interesting, were added to the Orph- eum bill- last night. Colibris’ Midget Cemedians, five in number, made their initial. bow to the vaudeville patrons of this city. They gave a tip-top acrobatic exhibition, mixed here and there with lit- tle ditties, which the Midgets sang in “wee sma’ but pleasing tones. Avery Strakosch, the famous prima donna soprano, caught the audience with her attractive mannerisms and beautiful voice. She sang several popular songs. O. T. Fiske and Nellie McDonough appeared in their characteristic sketch, “Binxy's Romance.” Their turn is full of bright aayings and funny situations. John Gel- ger, the trick violinist, literally made his instrument talk. He gave imitations of four different kinds of animals on his violin and performed other equally won- derful stunts with his fiddle and bow. Fulgora, the transfigurer, came in for a share of the applause, which the audi- ence was not stingy in giving nearly every number on the bill. Merville Booth and Elmora appeared in their comical sketch, “The Two Juliets.” The Freder- ick Brothers and Jessie Burns, novelty musical comedians, performed on ‘“‘every old thing” that one would be expected to get any music out of, and on some things one wouldn’t. Their work made them pop- ular all over the house and they were given several hearty encores. Ned Wayburn's Jockey Club, headed by Countess Olga von Hatzfeldt, is still on the bill. The biograph pictures this week are exceptionally interesting. 5 s ‘s To-night begins the second and last week of ‘“The Bonnie Brier Bush,” at the Columbia Theater. It is a play that should be seen by every lover of the pretty story, and with J. H. Stoddart’s Lacklan Campbell is a production of en- grossing interest. Mr. Stoddart’s picture of the dour old Scot is magnificent, every phase of it from his hard wrath when he discovers his daughter’s sup- posed shame, to the ashamed tenderness with which he puts the candle in the win- dow to guide her footsteps home, is portrayed with a keen sympathy and insight that places the character among the best modern portraits. Mr. Stoddart is very well supported, in partic- ular by Katherine E. Mulkins, who makes a charming Flora Campbell, and Reuben Fax, who, as “Postry,” furnishes constant merriment. The piece is beau- tifully staged, and should not be missed. Next Monday night comes the Mar- guerita Sylva Comic Opera Company in George W. Lederer's musical success, “The Strollers,” a work which held the boards of the Knickerbocker Theater, New York, during the heated term last geason and had a long run. Marguerita Bylva, the primma donna, is one of the handsomest artists on the stage and her musical career has been marked with suc- cess from the beginning. “The Strollers” will be interpreted by a company of eighty people. Seats go on sale Thursday. Sl o] To-night the new members of the regu- lar house company at the Alcazar Theater will make their first appearance, on the occasion of the opening of the usuak stock season, that will begin with John Oliver Hobbes’ comedy “The Am- bassador.” Charles A. Millward, an actor who comes with good credentials from London, will be the leading man of the company. The leading female roles will be in Miss Suzanne Santje’s hands. Miss Santje was leading woman of Richard Mansfield’s company for two years, and from present indications doubtless will be a considerable addition to the organi- zation. The leading juvenile is also a new man, William Samp, an Easterner, and last season with James K. Hackett in New York. “The Ambassador” is new here, but was a success at St. James Theatre in London ‘where it was first produced. Its heart in- terest is strong, waven in through a po- litical weft, and the dialogues smart and witty as with all of Mrs. Craigie's work. Following the very worthy production of “She Stoops to Conauer” of last week at the Grand Opera house Wilfred Clarke and his associates will this week present “The Widow Hunt,” a famous comedy of old time. The piece is old enough to be new, and strong and racy in its story and humor. Its hero, Major Wellington de Boots, to be played by Mr. Clarke, will afford the clever actor a pretty oppor- tunity to shine. The gallant Major, who is eternally in trouble through shoulder- ing other people's responsibilities, has been played by most of the best comedi- ans of a former day. Mr. Clarke himself has played the part for five consecutive seasons’ and his father, Heeper Clarke, was one of its most famous exponents, it is likely that the piece will be given much as it should be. . s . “Norma' will begin the week's opera at the Tivoli to-night. The work found much favor on its first giving at the Ti- voli this season, with Ines de Frate as the splendid Norma. The alternating operas will be the favorite double bill “Cavalleria Rusticana” and *I Pagli- acca.” In the first named Agostini will be the Turridu, which part is next to his Rudolfo in “La Boheme” in popular favor. Montanari will sing Santuzza for the first time at the Tivoli, Collarmarini will be Lola, Lucia will be sung by Fivie Dench and D'Albore will be heard as Alfio. * De Padona’s prologue as Tonio is the most exciting thing about the “I Pag- liacci” programme and much is expected of the clever singer. Alfredo Tyonghi is the Canio of the cast, and D'Albore is the Silvio. The women will be Tina de Spada, who sings Nedda, and Anna Wil- son, who has the part of the harlequin, Peppe.

A meeting was held last night at the First Methodist Episcopal Church, on Powell street, near Washington, to dis- cuss measures to prevent the reopening of the Ingleside race track. The congre- gation readopted a set of resolutions passed on January 27 of last year, where- in the Supervisors are admonished to sup- press betting, bookmaking and all forms of gambling. The Rev. F. K. Baker spoke in brief as follows: “The worst monster which Christian ministers have to confront is organized gambling. Shall our city be sold out to this monster of Ingleside? This great gamb- ling mania is a maultifarious evil, another monster as hard to slay as theyfabulous Hydra. It is the art of robbi and de- stroying men. It is a genteel name for highway robbery. The only difference be- tween the thief and the gambler is that the thief is thrown into prison because he has no license to steal, while the gambler goes on ruining souls under a li- cense given him by the Supervisors.” The Rev. F. M. Larkin delivered a lec- ture at Grace Methodist Episcopal Church before an immense congregation, the sub- ject being “Gambling.” at the races, but condemned the habit of gambling in all forms, whether on the race track or in the lottery, with dice or the machines. He spoke of the degrada- tion that had been brought upon innocent families through the debauchery, theft and demoralization of manhood that, he said, grew from the vice. Mr. Larkin alluded to charges that had been made by Mayor Schmitz against em- sald, had spent more money than their salaries at the races and had given up their official time to gambling. sfeooforioooferieiforieofmimfecfunioofunfoiuofmiocfeiunte 31" have an augumented orchestra unde.r his capable baton. & e “The Police Inspector,” melodrama having for famous Inspector Byrnes, will be the programme this week at the Central.
