A red- | skin aimed for a vital spot while he was fighting a band of savages and death would have ended with a bullet then had it not been for the soldler's | watch. The bullet struck the watch and glanced off, thus saving Kellner's life. But the concussion left a little wound and through all these years the | old Indian fighter has suffered frequent | pain. A year or two ago a tumor formed on the spot where the bullet had struck, graduaily growing until it sapped all the marn's strength. At last it became =0 malignant and exhausting that the doctors decided upon an operation in | the hope of saving their patient's life. | The operation was performed this morning, but the loss of blood that ac- | companied it was too great.

Several new developments took place in the political situation in Alameda County to-day. One of the most im- portant was the suggestion of the name of F. M.

Smith's name was advanced by several of his friends while he was in the East, but it was announced posi- tively place.

The next most important move was the withdrawal of R. B. Tappan from the fight for the Republican nomina- tion for Assemblyman from the Forty- seventh District, which is exclusively city of Alameda. There was a conference between Tappan and some of his friends last evening, and to-day | he announced his withdrawal from the fight. This leaves J. Clem Bates, the incumbent, without opposition. The withdrawal of Tappan will not affect the Senatorial situation in the fight for the unexpired term of J. R. Knowland, who will succeed Metcalf in Congress. Ex-State S8enator E. K. Tay- lor arrived from the Grand Canyon of the Colorado to-day and announced positively that he was a candidate for Senator once more and that he would contest with W. M. Simpson. The friends of George E. Randolph, candidate for Supervisor in the Fifth District, held a meeting last evening in the Second Ward. M. P. Manning presided and Randolph made a state- ment of his position in the contest. There were addresses by Allan G. Clark of Berkeley, Jere Tyrrell, Thomas Mur- phy and others. The Young Men's Republican Club of the Fiftieth Assembly District was organized to-night with a roll of fifty- five members. ——— Arrested for Larceny. OAKLAND, Aug 3.—R. E.

A A OAKLAND, Aug. 3.—Peter N. Rem- illard, president of the Remillard Brick Company, a resident of Oakland for forty-three years, dled this morning at the family residence, Adams, near Per- kins street, Vernon Heights. The de- ceased manufacturer had been ill sev- eral weeks. Remillard founded the extensive plant of which he was the head. He estab- lished Kilns in this county and at other bay shore points. For many years he gave the closest attention to the busi- ness. A brother, E. Remillard, was as- sociated with him for years. The first kilns were built at San Leandro. Later kilns were operated at Pleasanton and also at Point San Quentin. The pioneer's health began to break some time ago, and, under physicians' advice, Remillard retired from active part in business affairs. He had a high conception of standards of commercial integrity. His birthplace was St. Valentz, Prov- ince of Quebec, Canada, and he was 67 years old. A wife, Mrs. Cordelia Rem- | illard, and two daughters, Miss Emma T. Remillard and Miss Lillian V. Rem- illard, survive. Philip H. Remillard, died two years ago.

The constables and Justices of the Peace throughout the State see a re- turn to the old conditions of arresting | “hobos” in order to make their offices pay, if the recent decision of the Su- preme Court shall stand. There are over 200 constables and Justices of the Peace in the State, and the indications are that each and every one of them is affected by the decision them on a fee basis.

In the big railroad centers like Oakland, Stockton, Fresno, Sacramento and similar places constables and Justices would much prefer to be upon a fee basis, for every tramp is worth from $4 to $6 according to the mileage that can be charged against the regular fee of $4. But there are others who would rather have the salary basis, and the majority are of this ciass. So the constables and Justices of the Peace have got together and have em- ployed George A.

A WONDERFUL HARBOR. Regarding the impressions he had gained on the trip around the bay, Senator Gallinger sald: You cannot say too much about this wonder- ful harbor. There is no finer port in the world and we are going to do everything we can to aid in building up a great shipping trade here and in every port of the Union We do not alore want to hear about shipping | from ship owners, for our instructions direct that we shall also investigate the life of the American sailor and suggest ways, if we can, to make life on the sea more attractive to him. All of these things make for the great pur- poss we are aiming at—the upbuilding of the American merchant marine. The interior pec- ple do not appreciate the value of the shipping interests as they should. If the work we are doing does not immediately benefit their lo- cality, people are often indifferent if not hostile to our alms and we must educate the people | and inculcate & national spirit that will recog- nize that what helps one helps all.

We all love Americanism wherever we 2 find it and we are gratified to witness it here in your city. We shall always remember your ople with kindness and our best wishes will Pefor the continued growth of San Francisco. INJURY OF SECTIONALISM. Representative Humphrey said he was very much impressed with the har- bor and though he came from Wash- ington State he dld not feel that in endeavoring to aid San Francisco he was working to the detriment of his home ports. ““There is enough trade in the Pacific for all of us,” he said, “and we should all work together. Section- alism always works injury. By im- proving one port the other is stirred to make improvements and thus the great end we are working for, the up- building of the merchant marine, is furthered.” Col an Spight said he was as- tonished at what he had seen. He had no idea of the size and beauty of the harbor and hoped that the efforts of the commission of which he is a mem- ber will devise ways and means that will put the American flag on the ma- jority of the vessels, daily growing in number, that cargoes from and bring them to this harbor. Last night the members of the com- mission were the guests of R. P. L. Shainwald, Count Hubert de Montague, Arthur Hill, H. W. Ellicott. The Marine Committee at 10 o'clock this morning will begin its labors at the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce. The members will take luncheon at the Pacific Union Club as the guests of the Shipowners’ Association and to- morrow they will be similarly enter- tained by the Chamber of Commerce. That .they will be further entertained there is no doubt, but the plans have not yet matured. —_—e—————— SAN FRANCISCAN WALKS FROM COAST TO ST.
