Colonel Heuer represents the United States War Department and he is also a | member of the Debris Commission of Cali- | fornia. The matter of the navigability of the | river has been agitated by Fred Harvey, | a large landowner, and the Supervisors of Sacramento and San Joaquin counties are opposed to having the river declared navigable, as it will entail considerable expense to build a new bridge at Benson Ferry or convert it into a drawbridge to allow the passage cf a dredger. mento County will be Chairman of the Board of Supervisors M. 3.

The claim was advanced at headquarters last night that the league tickets would win in every Assembly district. No denial, however, was made that strong opposi- tion confronts the league in the Twenty- | eighth, Thirty-fourth, Fortieth, Forty- first and Forty-second Assembly districts. Late yesterday afternoon opposition was | put forward in the Thirty-seventh Dist- | rict. The polls will open at 6 a. m. to- | day, although M. Jasper McDonald, chairman of the Democratic County Com- mittee, announces 6:30 a. m. as the open- ing time. There is some little confusion concerning the opening hour, but all au- thorities agree that the polls will close at 5 p. m. The fight in the Union Labor camp is extremely bitter. The onlookers incline to the opinion that the Schmitz wing will down the Casey faction and capture the party machinery. Schmitz had a bigger meeting at the Alhambra last night than Casey had at the same place last Satur- { day night. The Casey reserves, however, may come up in time to save the day at the polls. { DEMOCRATIC VOTE. | The Democratic vote at the primary | polls to-day will be larger than first ex- | pected. It transpires that Kelly's fol- | lowers In districts where the opposition to the United Republican League is fee- ble have joined hands with Sam Rainey to help the Horse and Cart Democrats. Affairs are pretty badly mixed in the Democratic camp. Disinterested observ- | ers of the situation predict that Gavin McNab's followers will elect a sufficient number of delegates to gain control of the convention. It is reported that the Horse and Cart tickets embrace the names of several Re- publicans. The following notiee was re- celved at The Call office last night: SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10, 1903. To the Public: My name appearing upon the official ballot of the Twenty-ninth _District | Democratic League as filed with the Reglstrar 1 desire to state that it is entirely unauthorized | and without my being consulted. I am and always have been a stanch Repub- lican and am at present employed as a copyist in the County Clerk's office. Very truly yours, HARRY S. JONES. There is a deal of confusion in Demo- cratic circles of the Fortleth Assembly District. M. Jasper McDonald, chairman Democratic County Committee, comes to | the front in a campalgn document which | certifies over his signature that the fol- | lowing is the only regular Democratic | County Committee ticket In the Fortieth | District: Dr. Philip King Brown, Randolph C. 1 Isidor Gutte, Jeremiah J.

The United Republican League Club, | Thirty-ninth District, held a meeting at Richmond Hall last night that was en- thusisatic from the beginning until the end. I D. Buxome was in the chair. | The object of the meeting was to devise | iy and means for carrying the prima- | ries. | Reports of Various committees prompted the gathering to believe implicitly in the success of the ticket of the club, as prom- ises of support were made on all sides. Dr. E. R. Bryant in a hearty speech gave the utmost encouragement, and other speeches were made by J. W. Wil- kins, G. A. Blank, Colonel Tom Robinson, D. L. Fitzgerald, John T. Willlams, W. H. Mitchell, J. F. O'Rourke, J. B. Whit- ney, J. B. Sykes, Edward Ginley, E. A. Sarle, J. E. Atkinson, John Martin, E. | Owens and George R. Fletcher explaining | the missionary work that had been done in the district and the support that had been promised. F. W. Cornyn stated that Charles S. { Brundage, George H. Makinson and Thomas H. Lundy had stated that they were not members of the Citizens' Repub- lican Club, but instead would be sup- porters of the ticket of the United Re- publican League Club, It was also stated that Marshall Hale would give his support to the Urited Re- publican League Club. A E. Owens said that Albert Shrumpff had stated to him that the use of his name by the opposi- tion ticket was unauthorized. F. W. Aitken relinquished his position as secretary and*his place was tendered to and accepted by D. L. Fitzgerald. Aitken received a hearty and unanimous vote of thanks for his labors during the period of his secretaryship. It was announced that carriages will be at the disposal of voters and J. M. ‘Wilkins also announced that his auto- mobile will be at the service of the club. At the conclusion of the meeting cheers were given for the club and the party, every one promising to put forth every energy for the cause. ENGLISH’S CONDITION CREATES GRAVE FEAR Little Improvement Is Shown in Patient and Surgeons Give Small Hope. OAKLAND, Aug. 10.—The condition of Willlam D. English, manager of the Contra Costa Water Company, who is critically ill at BEast Bay Sanitarium, showed very slight improvement to-day, although there was no gain that could be reckoned as permanent. Since the operation last Saturday the patient has been In a semi-consclous state and all of the symptoms show a very severe prostration from the shock of the sur- geons' second attempt to relieve the serious disorder in the abdomen. With a temperature that remains normal, the pulse is very rapid, an indication of quite unfavorable aspect. Vitality generally, however, is at a low stage and this gives rise to fears very grave indeed for the final result of the heroic efforts to re- lieve the sufferer’s serious affliction. ‘While the attending physicians, Dr. D. D. Crowley and Dr. Frank Adams, are not ready to give a decision upon the outcome, they do not announce any posi- tive declaration of hope for recovery. The patient’s chamber is closely guarded, nurses being in constant attendance and none other than physicians or members of the immediate family are permitted there. Sign Painter Found Dying. OAKLAND, Aug. 10.—The police were called this afternoon to take charge of V. P. Mitchels, a sign painter, who was found in a vacant lot at Twenty-fifth street and San Pablo avenue, apparently under -the influence of liquor. He was taken to the city prison, being booked there at 4:40 o’clock as drunk. The jafl- ers noticed something wrong about the man and sent for Health Officer Von Adelung, but at 6:30 o'clock, twenty min- utes before the physician arrived, Mit- chels was dead. The Coroner took charge of the body and will hold an autopsy to- morrow. Mitchels was 40 years old. He resided at 1804 Market street. e s o T NEW YORK.

Last night careful politicians predicted that 30,000 voters would partici- pate in the contest. There is talk that 2000 votes will be cast in the Forty-first Dis- | trict. This district is agi- tated by rumors that the Re- publican ticket put in the field by Mike Smith, in op- position to the United Re- publican League and the Dibble-Daggett tickets, has lost its backing. The report goes that Smith’s followers have gone over to the Democratic camp to assist the Horse and Cart man- agers. - In the Twenty-eighth Als- sembly District Boss Martin Kelly's henchmen are put- ting up a hard fight against the United = Republican League. In this district the league ticket is headed by Harbor Commissioner John C. Kirkpatrick, and is.sus- tained by property-owners and representative citizens. There are indications that Jesse Marks will have the battle of his life to maintain his supremacy in the Forty- tieth District. Many of the able workers who fought under Marks in former po- litical campaigns have es- poused the cause of the United Republican League. AR L ] HE United Republican League is efficiently organized in every As- sembly District of San Francisco and the indications are that a ma- Jjority of the delegates proposed by the league will be elected to the Repub- lican Municipal Convention. in several districts tickets headed “‘Regular Repub- lican” and secretly backed by Martin Kelly have been circulated. The United Republican League Clubs have nominated in the several districts enterprising citizens of good character, who #will endeavor to secure the nomi- nation in the convention of men who will promote the welfare of San Fran- cisco.

George Boyne, || Schmitz —_— Is Greeted With Cheers and Casey Is Hooted HE wing of the Union Labor party . supporting Mayor Eugene Schmitz in the pending campaign held a ratification meeting last evening at the Alhambra Theater, which was crowded to its capacity. The various speakers who addressed the gathering dwelt upon the qualifications and record of the Mayor and vehemently denounced Michael Casey, who is at the head of the labor faction that is opposed to the re-election of Mayor Schmitz on the labor party ticket. Previous to the opening of the meeting a band discoursed popular airs in front of the theater, and a large quantity of campaign literature was distributed to those who entered the theater. A large number of police officers was on hand to preserve peace in case members of the opposing factions might clash, but there was no sign of disorder, either inside or outside the theater. A man who was dis- tributing circulars which contained an at- tack on Mayor Schmitz was arrested for violating a city ordinance. Beyond this incident the meeting was not disturbed in any magner. The riéferences by the speakers toMayor Schmitz were all loudly applauded, while the mention of the name of Michael Casey drew hisses and groans from all parts of the house. Joseph Millmore presided at the meet- ing, and among those on the platform were Alfred Roncovieri, Powel Fredrick, Thomas F. Egan, Captain George Krump- hoff, J. J» Connolly, James de Succa, James Coffey, Senator Bunkers, George Duffy, James Quinn, George A. Siskyral, James Wilson, E. J. Deaver, D. Moriarity, | i J. P. McGee, George F. Aubertine and Supervisor Walsh. SCHMITZ THE ISSUE. In calling the meeting to order Chair- man Millmore sald: I have been requested to act as chairman this evening, and it affords me great pleasure to do 0 and to have our worthy Mayor on this platform. There is much discussion as to which faction of the Union Labor party is the right one to support and which one is in t. Your gathering here to-night shows tion you evidently think is the right one. chairman of _the first convention held In this city of the Unlon Labor party, it gives me pleasure to preside here to-night. There is no_need for me' to eulogize the acts of Mayor Schmitz, for you all know what he has done since he assumed office. He has faithfully carried out all the pledges he made before elecplon, and has given special privi- legeg to none and equal privileges to all. I feel sure that the teamsters of this city will not forget the man who kept the police from being armed and placed on the street cars during the big_ strike, despite the claims of certain so-called labor leaders. By your votes to- morrow you must announce that Eugene E. Schmitz shall be Mayor of this city for an- other term, and thus support him as our vallant standard-bearer of the Union Labor party. RONCOVIERI WELCOMED. School Director A. Roncovieri was then introduced to the gathering and he re- ceived a hearty welcome. In part he sald: 1 rejoice to see this great outpouring of the followers of unionism and supporters of our valiant and true standard-bearer, Schmitz. This meeting is a rebuke to those Who seek to destroy the Unlon Labor party by dividing it Into factions. The few misguided men and traitors who have created the op- posing factlon seek to turn you against our true and loyal leader. If you take their ad- vice and turn down the Mayor, you invite de- feat and disaster to the union cause. True unionism means the betterment American workmen, and it is necessary for all lovers of unionism to march in solid array and solidity our principles. There is no better Way to do this than by giving all our support to the valiant standard bearer who led us to victory two years ago. 1 belleve in unionism being in politics, for it is most necessary. There is nothing our workmen can ask If they will only stand to- gether at the polls. The wage-earners have been buffeted between Republicanism and Democracy. The time has now arrived for the permanent existence of the Union Labor party, and it must be preserved and perpet- uated In San -Francisco if you desire peace and prosperity. Its defeat at the present time will be a sign of weakness, and if the enemy can defeat our leader the party will be de stroyed. We shall and must elect Eugene E. Schmitz, for we have every reason to feel proud of him and what he has done. You cannot without disgrace and base Ingratitude with- draw your support from him at this time. Tie has proven his worth and you must stand by him. By his election trades unionism now receives its proper recognition on all sides. This condition should vrevail all over the country, 1f Mayor Schmitz s 6t re-elected the Union Labor party will never be heard of_again. He has been faithful to all his pledges and be has well stood the test of public. office. None can say aught against him. He stands clean and pure in public and private life and he has been a faithful man to all. Where would Michael Casey be if the Mayor had not taken him from obscurity? Where would Richard Cornelius be but for the firm stand taken by the Mayor during the streetear strikes? Would the streetcar company ~and the telephone company be ready to arbitrate their differences but for the attitude of Mayor Schmitz? hirelings of the corporations to be armed in order. that they might bludgeon and perhaps kill the men who went on strike. Remember these things to-morrow when you g0 to the polls. San Francisco.has never had 2 Mayor who arbitrated so many difficulties so catistactorily as Mayor Schmitz has done. The prosperity and high wages now existing in 8an Francisco are mainly-due to the confidence following the election of Mayor Schmitz. He Fained the confidence of ail, and it is the duty of every voter to indorse his administration and vote for the delegation pledged to secure is_re-election. P how your sirength and rebuke the renegades and traitors who seek to destroy our party. Our motto should be, *“One for all and all for one,” and long life to these United States and the liberty of brotherhood. CONNOLLY GRILLS CASEY. J. J. Connolly of the Plasterers’ Union spoke as follows: It is not difficult to see through the crooked acts of the so-called leaders of the Union La- bor party who are opposed to us. I know what I am talking about, for I was a mem- ber of their county committee until two weeks ago. knew that there was dissension and strife, but I thought that the opposing fac- tion would finally_return to the support of our standard-bearer, Mayor e E. Schmitz. 1 was m! n and that is why I have left them and havé thrown my lot In‘with Mayor Schmitz and his followers. It has been said by the other faction that we are pirates and job-chasers. They lled. They are like the thief who seeks to divert attention from him- self by running down the street and calling an honest man a thief to fool the pu TS. The other faction is composed of job-chasers, and I will tell you why, Michael Casey is a hypocrite and a traitor. The Mayor made him chairman of the of Public Works and that position placed him on the Board of Health. Casey no soomer was n power than he swelied up and got the big head. Michael Casey the teamster was a far different being from Michael Casey, Commis- sioner of Public Works and member of the Board of Health. He showed his crafty meth- ods at once, He saw the opportunity to build Up a political machine and he made a combine With the Board of Health and you know what a Board of Health it was. The attacks made on the Board of Health by a certain newspaper ceased just as soon as Michael Casey became a member, Casey also made a combine with Manson of the Board of Public Works, who is a Democrat. Then Casey came to a meeting ot the county committee of the Union Labor party. which he controlled, and he tendered the committee a long list’ of the places he desired to fill with his own supporters. This committee, which calls us pirates and job- chasers, grabbed at that ug_hmu a hungry cat after a plece of liver. ey went down fhe line, and as each place was mentioned thore was an applicant for it. Some of the best jobs Casey did not tender to the commit- tee.

CATARRH DESTROYS THE KIDNEYS Was Miserable - Could Not Stand Up or Walk— Eay Pe-ru-na Gured. Many Persons Have Catarrh and Don’t Know It. A Mr. James M. Powell, 633 Troost street, Kansas City, Mo., Vice Grand of I O.

Catarrh had set- tled in the pelvic organs,| making life a burden and giving me_ little hope of recovery. I spent hundreds of dollars in medicine which did me no good.

Peruna cures catarrh of the kidneys, liver and other pelvic organs, simply be- cause it cures catarrh wherever located. 7 No other systemic catarrh remedy has as yet been devised. Insist upon having Peruna. There are no medicines that can be substituted. f you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

The people have been deluded by Casey and his faction. The county commijfee appointed a commit- tee of three to draft a comstitution for the district clubs and all delegates elected by the Gistrict clubs had to be submitted to this com- mittes, which had the power to accept or reject the delegates. A committee of five was also appointed and called & committee on qualifications to pass on the merits of the delegates elected by the Qistrict clubs. That committee was composed of Casey Mott, a teamster for the Board of Public Works; Superintendent McLaughlin of the Street Sprinkling Department; Secretary Berger of the Almshotse and Assistant Sec- retary Meeker of the county com - Now you can understand that Michael Casey was the entire committee and the others had to do his bidding. - One man had the power to pass on all delegates. If Casey had any sense he would be ashamed of himself. One district club had its entire list of dele- gates rejected by Casey. I demanded to know Shy the lst had been refected, but could get no eatistaction. Do you know why these men Were rejected? They were rejected because they favored Mayor Schmitz.

Schmits, Tn line for another term. ONE COURSE OPEN. Thomas F. Egan of the Painters’ Union was the next speaker. He said in part: After having chosen for our standard-bearer and elected for Mayor ‘that gallant champion of labor, Eugene E. Schmitz, must we turn back to official corruption the city now dom- inated by friends of labor? I say we must go forward, and there must be no middie ground, mo compromise. There is no other hope for the wage-earner. No official in the older parties dare stand for labor. Then why should we look to either of these parties for relief? Can it be urged that the entire community has not profited by the election of Eugene E. Schmitz? The simple proposition s: Has the admini tration of Eugene E. Schmitz been such to lead you to continue him in office? If not, you allow us to be dragged back to the con- ditions existing two years ago, and place us | again under the domination of Gavin McNab and Phelan, Walter Gallagher arose, despite repeat- ed shouts for Schmitz, and gave Casey a sound verbal drubbing. In part he said: This man who was lifted from a wagon to a position of $4000 a year and smote the hand Which raised him, says with a humor all his own that he is content with his present sta- tion. But what will Casey do to-morrow night when the votes are,.counted? (Voice, “‘Commit sulcide.”). We have contended that it was for the in- terest of ourselves to preserve this Union La- ! bor party as a club to be used against the ag- gressions of capital, and we belleve the man Who would countenance the disintegration of this party to be a traitor to our cause. Now, Casey and his followers know this, but they are endeavoring to deceive you and to deliver over to Phelan and McNab the party to which Mayor Eugene E. bor you belong. They know that if they ackmowl- edged this fact their ticket would not receive 200 votes in this city. Their intention is to elect a Democrat for Mayvor and Michael Casey or_some of his ilk for Sheriff. When Mayor Schmitz was elected he pledged that policemen would not be allowed on the cars in case of a strike. Has he kept that ige? (Cries of ““Yes, Yes"). Then If he falled in everything eise, for that and that alone, every workingman In San Francisco should vote for him this year. MAYOR SCHMITZ SPEAKS. ‘When Mayor Schmitz arose at the in= troduction of the chair a perfect pande- monium of cheers broke forth. Women waved hats and handkerchiefs and men stood on chairs better to voice their emn- thusiasm. He said in part: If it needed any evidence to show your con= fidence in behaif of my administration as Mayor of the city of my birth, the reception ou_have given me to-night amply furnishes I stand here to-night not as but as 3 yor, a native born son of San Francisco, and from the bottom of my heart I thank you. A great deal has been said to-night'of Mr. Michael ‘asey. 1 do not wish to speak ill of I do not wish to bolster up my tearing down another. In the words of Shakespeare, *“‘God made him for a man: therefore let him pass.”” But 1 do want to say that the contests brought about in the ranks of the Union Labor party were engineered not by the friends but the enemies of the party. 1 am content to stand hefore the peo- ple of San Francisco and be denounced by the bosses and vile sycophants who are now abus- ing me. We stand on record as being pledged to put a pure nion Labor ticket in the fleld, and the delegates sent out by the faction I repre- sent have the audacity to pledge themselves to my renomination as Mayor. That is the whole issue. If you are satisfled with my ad- ministration, if you believe in my efforts to bring about a better understanding between employer and employe, if you believe I have done anything to engage your support, then vote for the delegates put forth by the faction I represent. Much has been said of the carmen’s strike in this city and 5 the part T took In it I wish to say here that whatever be the atti- tude of the president of the Casmen's Union in this present fight, I have not lost the least faith in the carmen themselves, and I am con- fident that ninety-nine out of one hundred will cast their votes for the ticket representing me. 1 want to say in conclusion that I am will- ing to place myself in your hands. I am will- ing to leave it with you as to whether or not 1 shall continue my service I sincerely be- lleve that my renomination is for the best in- terest of the wage-earners of San Francisco, and if [ did not not, I would not seek remom- ination. I am content to leave my fate in your hands, and I shall be fully satisfied how- ever you may déal with me. At the conclusion of the address the quartet sang a campaign song and them the audience was dismissed by Mayor Schmitz. —_———— (Eppinger Demurrer Submitted. Argument was had in the United States Circuit Court yesterday in the matter of the demurrer in the cases of the Bank of Monterey vs. Henry Wadsworth as receiver and the American National Bank of San Francisco vs. Wadsworth. Greg- ory & Van Ness appeared for the banks and Lilienthal & Sutro for the receiver. The grounds of the demurrer were that the complaint failed to aver that the negotiable warehouse receipt was present- ed at the time the banks demanded the grain, such representation being neces- sary before the demand could be consid- ered of apy effect. —e———— , NEW YORK, Aug. 10.
