The Government is discouraging the Boer reception committee in various ways. The police” will not permit- the sed procession to pass through the rg Gate, doubtless because it the British Embassy. The bill- s who have the monopoly of the s advertising on the pillars hava ken their contracts and refuse to put any more placards advertising the re- ption of the Boers. It is intimated that he reason for this action on the part the billposters is that they received a secret hint from the police to cease advertising the entertainment. The Gov- ernment seems determined to prevent the htest demonstration that might be ued as offensive to Great Britain.

When the two propositions | are brought together I see no ubstacle 1o | a speedy resumption of work. The min- ers have always been willing to arbitrate, as is evidenced by Mr, Mitchell's original proposition to leave the matter to a com. mission appointed by the President. Rec- ognizing the serious condition of the pub- lic, the operators have practically agreed on the same thing. T repeat that T feel sure of at least a temporary resumption of work, and to say that I am heartily glad is putting it mildly.” { | A OAKLAND’S SIXTH WARD REPUBLICANS - HEARTILY IN - Other Speakers ‘Address a Meeting in Germania Hall That for Numbers and Enthusiasm Is a Record Breaker fo—— AKLAND, Oct. 14—The Repub- licans of the Forty-eighth Asem- bly District did themselves proud to-night. Rarely in the history of any campaign has there been such a meeting in the Sixth Ward as was held this evening at Germania Hall. For numbers, enthusiasm and general hurrah it was a record breaker. The hall was thronged with workingmen. Under the leadership of State Senator Frank W. Leavitt, Joe M. Kelley, nomi- nee for Supervisor, and Phil' M. Walsh, candidate for the Assembly from the Forty-eighth District, the State and county ticket was given a splendid ova- tion. All the candidates on the Repub- lican county ticket attended the meet- irg, together with Frank Jordan, nomi- ree for Clerk of the Supreme Court; Or- rin S. Henderson, candidate for Railroad Commissioner in the Third District, and Attorney General U. 8. Webb, who is a candidate to succeed himself. The Young Men's Republican League Drill Corps escorted General Webb, the guest of the district, to the hall. Clar- ence Crowell, chairman of the Repub- lican County Central Committee, intro- duced Frank Barnett as president of the evening. The first speaker to appear was Frank W. Leavitt, nominee to succeed himself as State Senator from the Six- teenth District. The crowd made the hall shake with cheers as Senator Leav- itt was presented. FAVORS AN EIGHT-HOUR LAW. Leavitt said in part: The Republican party has pledged its nom- inees to work for an elght-hour law.. I want to <ay to the hosts of workingmen here to- night that I have accepted that pledge and that I purpose to give my best efforts to the cause of labor at the next session of.the Sta Legislature. Further, I believe that if the question of election of the United States Sena- tor wer: submitted to a direct vote of the people, nine-tenths of my constituency would vote for George C. Perkins. I do solemnly promise to vote for him and I want it thor- oughly understood that I shall continue to vote for him at Sacramento until he is elected. Joe Kelley, Phil Walsh, Superior Judges Hall, Greene and Melvin were given splendid receptions. Orrin Henderson pledged himself to do his duty as Rail- road Commissfoner. Frank Jordan called on_everybody to roll up a tremendous m®jority for Dr. George Pardee and the whole Republican ticket. Jack Cook, nominee for County Clerk, | John Mitchell for Assessqr, Cal Ewing for County Auditor, Bob Greig for Re- corder and the remainder of the candi- dates were presented rapldly and the crowd cheered them all. After a cordial reception upon being in- troduced by Chairman Barnett, Attorney General Webb delivered a forceful ad- dress, during which he sald: It seems proper that in the elty of Oakland there should be the enthusiasm manifested to- night, for Oakland. in this campaign, has much to be politically thankful for. It is eminently proper that the Republican party should choose from among your citizens a man who will be the next Governor of California. There are many reasons why the people of California ghould support the Republican ticket headed by | George C. Pardee. Political parties should have principles. This is the first campaign I have heard of whers one political party refuses to discuss prin- — CHAIRMAN OF THE EVENING AT THE BIG REPUBLICAN RALLY HELD IN OAKLAND LAST NIGHT, AT WHICH ATTORNEY GEN- ERAL WEBB DELIVERED THE PRINCIPAL SPEECH. + Democratic orators say national issues are not involved in this campaign; they will not discuss them and they will not, discuss any other, FORCED LABOR TO BEG. The speaker then reviewed the record of disaster from 1882 to 1896 and pointed out that the natlonal policy of the Democratic party had forced labor to go out and beg for work.' He declared that it had made , 3,000,000 workingmen in the United States tramps. He asked his hearers if they wanted to seal with their approval, by their votes, a policy that had caused un- e — In conclusion General Webb said: The Republican party is the party of protec- tion, sound money, expansion and prosperity. It you do not want these, vote the Democratic ileket. If you believe in a continuance of the blessings we now enjoy, vote the Republican ticket. I tell you that by your votes you can uphold the policy of the President of the United, States and help to put men behind him who will sunport his courageous plans.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Oct. 14 The total registration of Alameda Coun- ty for the election to be held on Novem- Ler 4 Is 28,576. Two years ago at the Presidential election 27,79 voters were en- rciled. The increase of registration over that of two vears ago is 736, These figures are particularly encour- aging to the Republicans because they show that a full vote can be counted on at the election. Not only has the heavy registration of the McKinley Presiden- tial czampaign been equaled, but exceed- ed, and this is a circumstance which the epublican County Committee believes is a fact of much portent to the Republi- can ticket, State and county. Some interesting facts are to be ob- tained from the figures just compiled by the County Clerk's - office. The seven wards comprising Oakland proper contain 15,933 voters, which from the statistical ratio ot five inhabitants for every voter would indicate a population of 79,665. This shéwing convinces many that -the ity bas at least reached the 75,000 mark. Berkeley and Alameda show an increas- ~d voting strength. The county votesre- mwains npearly the same as that of two years ago, The voting strength of the county, as indicated by the registration returns, is as fcllow Oakland, 15,933; Alameda, 3382; Berkeley, 2446; Brook! Township, 1120; Eden Town- ship, 183 saston Township, 610; Murray Pl Township, 890; Oakland Township, 648; Wash- irgton Township. 1361. Total, 28,576. Foresters on a Trolley Ride. The members of Court Golden Era, No. 36, Foresters of America, and a number of their lady friends and relatives en- jgved a trolley ride last night. The party started from Eighth and Market streets, and after going over the several branches of the electric system were taken to the Cliff House terminus, where they partook ot luncheon and danced in the depot hall until midnight. The trip proved a very enjoyable one. L. M. Rey, G. J. Polk, F. Felder, L. J. Condrotte and J. Sevey were in charge of the ride. TR R s S Golden Gate’s Ladies’ Night.

H. Williams, in Chicago, Takes a Roseate View of the Winter’s Sport. CHICAGO, Oct. 14.—California race tracks will follow the rulings of Western and Eastern jockey clubs more conserv- atwely this winter than ever before. It seems assured now that San Francisco will have the greatest racing season it has ever enjoyed. President T. H. Willlams of the New California Jockey Club reached Chicago to-day and talked of the prospects of the Western turf. He predicted that Califor- nia would have better racing this season than it has ever had In the past. Mr. Williams will leave for the East to-mor- row, teturning next Friday. “Everything is going smoathly in the ‘Western turf world,” sald he. “I think this year California will have the greatest racing season it has ever had. Yester- day the Mayor of San Francisco signed the racing ordinance, which permits rac- ing at Ingleside.” *Is there any likelihood,” Mr. Williamns was asked, “of a turf organization being formed on the Pacific Coast similar to the Western Jockey Club?” “I do mot know,” said he. *California tracks have always followed the rulings of recognized jockey clubs. It does not make any difference whether the club be the Western Jockey Club or the Paris Jockey Club or Australian Jockey Club. Unless there is some controlling body in racing the turf is apt to get into a bad way.” ‘When asked whether he would release Starter Holtman for the New Orleans people he said: ‘‘There have been per- sistent rumors afloat in California and San Francisco papers have given credence to them to the effect that Holtman and I have disagreed as to terms. For that reason and for the purpose of setting Holtman right I have asked him to start according to his contract on the opening “day of the season's racing in California, which begins at Ingieside. “Dwyer is engaged on your tracks un- til November 20 and consequently 1 coutd not have him to opén with did I so desire. I might release one starter, you say? That is true, but suppose Holtman loses his form—they all do it—or gets ill, then where am 1? Now, I propose to have both starters on call, For that reason Dwyer can start for Mr. Bush, I am friendly to New Orleans. He will be sub- ject, however, to telegraph call from me for his services.” - ooy AT GARDEN CITY WHEELMEN WILL PROSECUTE HOBSON Directors Will Have a Warrant Out in Oakland for His Arrest. SAN JOSE, Oct. 14.—J. B, Hobson, who shot Emil Agraz during a bicycle race on Sunday, will be arrested to-morrow on charges of assault to commit murder and assault with a deadly weapon. The com- plaint_will be sworn to in Oakland by Bert Delaney, a member of the Garden City Wheelmen, who resides in Berkeley. This action was decided on at a,meeting of the directors of the Garden City ‘Wheelmen to-night. Strenuous. efforts have been made to prevent the prosecu- tion of Hobson. but without avail, as the Garden City Wheelmen are determined ke shall be punished. President Frank Smith of the Bay City Wheelmen and Dr. E. T. Mervy, a director of the club, were here this evening trying to placate the Garden City Wheelmen. They receiv- ed no encouragement. Yesterday Agraz was visited by Mrs. Bollo, mother of the captain of the Bay City team, who tried to persuade him not'to prosecute. He said the matter was in the hands of the club. Cyclers and business men have started a purse for Agraz and nearly $100 | | has been subscribed. Money will also be furnished for a special attorney for the prosecution of Hobson. NAMELESS GRAVE AWAITa REMAING No One Identifles Body of Woman Drowned in Estuary. Oakland Office San Francisco Cail. 1118 Broadway, Oct. 14, Three new witnesses were introduced to the Coroner’s jury to-night in the case of the aged and unidentified woman who met death last Saturday in the estuary waters, but they were unable to throw any light on the identity of the dead. The Coroner’s jury then rendered a non- committal verdict and the woman’s body will be sent to a nameless grave. H. L. Conklin Jr., clerk in the Sunset grocery store on Broadway, testified that he recognized the woinan as the same who purchased a few ' cents’ worth of cakes of him Friday afternoon last at about 1:30 o'clock. She paid him from a purse that she took from a cloth bag and he saw three twenty-dollar pleces and some greenbacks, while she was going through the process of settling the bill. She told Conklin she was going the next day to Truckee to see her son and wanted to be directed to a hotel to stay over night. Conklin directed her to the Merritt House and she left for that hostelry, af- ter having received permission to leave Balfour Makes an Ad- dress on the Educa- : tional Bill, Non-Conformists Given Scoring in a Manchester Speech. a MANCHESTER, England, Oct. M.—A notable addition to the controversy over the Governmert's educational bill was made to-night by Premier Balfour in an address he delivered before a mass meet- ing held in connection with the annual conference of the National Union of Con- servative and Constitutional Associations. The Premier declared that the agitation against and the opposition to the bill was due to misunderstandings and false state- nients concerning its provistons and In- tentions. Balfour said the voice of cal- umny had been too long uninterrupted, but that the country would no longer be hoodwinked by the travesties of truth which had been drunk in by those from whom better things were to be expected. The Government had chosen to disturb the educational peace because the exist- ing system of education was chaotic, in- effectual and behind the age, making Great Britain the laughing stock of other nations, and it was bound, the Premier said, to provide secondary public educa- tion and to co-ordinate all the branches of public education under the control of the boroughs and County Counclls. If, in do- ing this, the Government had given a tonic to the Liberal party Balfour did not begrudge it. Continuing the Premler asserted that a majority of the people pelieved religion should be taught in the schools, but that it did not agree as tp what religion, and that the only alternative was a system permitting denominational teaching in schools wholly supported by rates, as well as promoting it in those schools which were not wholly supported. He said that the claim that representation did not fols low taxation was erroneous, since the real control of the schools was vested, not in the church authorities, but in the munic- ipal councils and their constituents. The threats of the non-conformists to refuse to pay the rates, the Premler said, ‘were unworthy the citizens of a free country. Civilized government was im- possible if dissatisfled citizens refused to obéy the laws. The non-conformists, the Preniier declared, should hail the bill with pleasure, for it was an effort to give the peoplé unlimited control of education and their objections to it were in reality po- litical, their object being to turn out the Congervative Government. If the Gov- ernment was defeated in this measure there would be no hope of educational re- form, as the agitators did not desire it. . Balfour sald he did not consider the conséquences on political grounds, be- cause the stake was the education of a generation of children. If this reform is not unhesitatingly carried through, con- cluded the Premier, the Government will earn and deserve the contempt of parents and of children yet unborn. Thé meeting passed a resolution pledg- ing its support to the bill. Bishop Montgomery the Celebrant. SANTA FE, N. M., Oct. 14—The prin- cipal festivities of the three days’ cele- bration of the coming of the Sisters of Loretto to Santa Fe to establish the first giris’ college in the Southwest fifty years ago took place to-day. Bishop Mont- gcmery of Los Angeles celebrated solemn Pontifical mass of thanksgiving in the cathedral. A play descriptive of the trip of the sisters over the Santa Fe trail in 1852, written by one of the sisters, will be presented this evening. Sister Ro- sanne, the only survivor of that trip, is still teaching at the Loretto Academy in Santa Fe. e Dynamite Used on Cars. SARATOGA, N. Y., Oct. 14.—The motor- men’s strike on the Hudson Valley Rail- road is assuming a more threatening form. Dynamite was used in Saratoga Springs to-night and a riot is feared at Mechanicsville. A trolley car passing near the trolley station on South Broadway was partly wrecked by dynamite that had teen placed on the track. The car win- dows were broken, the track torn up and the windows of a near-by saloon shat- tered, but no one was injured. her grip in the store. When she had been gone an hour an old man entered the store and asked for the grip, which was given him. This old man Conklin is un- able to describe, nor ‘could he tell any- thing more about the woman. Henry Smith and Charles Marshall, -the men who helped take the woman's body from the slough at the foot of Adeline street, testified that they saw no cloth bag, such as Conklin described, attached to the clothing. Deputy Coroner Quellen informed the jury that he called at the Merritt House, but the people there failed to recognize the description of the woman now in the Morgue as that of any one who recently asked for a night's lodging. The jury’'s verdict was that “‘death was caused by drowning in the waters of the estuary; the cause of the drowning, how- ever, we are unable to determine from the evidence produced.” |PREMIER SPEAKS |STRIKE ALARMS DORSE THE STATE TICKET| [F THE SCHODLS ttorney General U.

TENE Special Dispatch to The Call FRESNO, Oct. 4.—The strike situation remains unchanged, except that the army of the unemployed grows larger every hour and the volume of work accomplish- ed In the packing-houses decreases. Rais- in-growers are getting very nervous. Many of the crops are only partially gath- ered from the trays and the growers are waiting for the return of sweat boxes from the packing-houses to store the rals- ins. Yesterday nearly every house in the city refused to receive any more raisins because of inability to take care of them. The growers are fearful of losing much of this year's crop through the coming of a heavy rain while their trays are still in the vineyards. It is possible that a meet- ing will be called within a few days un- less the strike be settled, and steps taken to effect a compromilse between the strik- ers and the employers. . To-day the membership list of the union grew to more than 1300. Headquarters have been established in a large hall and there men and women congregated during the greater part of the day. The pickets established around the various packing- houses have done effective work in in- ducing others to leave, and the union is confident that by to-morrow night there will not be more than a couple of hundred workmen still on duty. A rellef commit- tee has been appointed and steps taken to assist all members whose immediate means of livelihood has .been removed through the strike. To-night there was a meeting of the strikers, at which about 300 were present. All tock the union obligation. L4 LETTER IS RECEIVED AFTER WRITER'S DEATH B One of Heroic Father McKinnon’s Last Missives Reaches Arch- bishop Ireland. ST. PAUL, Oect. 14.—Archbishop Ireland has received a letter from the Rev. Wil- liam McKinnon of Manila, who died be- tore his letter had reached its destination. Father McKinnon was a martyr to his own zeal and loyalty to duty. Exhaust- ed from devoted attendance upon the cholera patients in the recent epidemic in Manila, this heroic priest at length fell a vietim to the plague and died at his post of duty.
