Affairs in San Joaquin County con- tinue to engage the attention of lead- ing politicians. There is an erroneous mpression that this county belongs to the .Democratic column because Lane received a majority of 7§ in the last gubernatorial election. In the State election of 1888 San Joaquin gave the Republican nominee for Governor 876 plurality. In the Presidential election of 1900 McKinley carried the county by 446. Congressman J. -C. Neegham's| majority in.the county two years ago | was 847 -and his opponent; Gaston M. Ashe, a popular and enterprising man, made an exceptionally active cam- paign. F. E. Dunlap, one of the foremost of | the stalwart Republicans of San Joa- | quin, predicts that Needham'’s inajority in San Joaquin County will approxi- mate 1000. In 1902 the head of the Re- | publican ticket, .Governor Pardee, was | knifed by State and Federal olders and the rafiroad machine. this campaign harmony prevails in the | Republican camp. Thé supporters of |’ Dunlap for State Senator were out- voted at the recent prlmnry olvcllnn‘ and the nomination went to A: E.

E As election day approaches the In-! dications multiply that California will | elect a solid Republican delegation to the next Congress. Judge Conley, the | Democratic candidate in the Sixth Dis~ trict, is not a yote-getter, or a whirl- | wind campaigner. Official returns of | election show that he runs behind his ticket. Yesterday General Stone, chairman of the State Central Committee, was n:koi to give his views cencerning-the outlook in the First and -Second Con- gressional districts. In reply he sai “I am thoroughly convinced that J. N. Gillette’s majority in the First Dis- trict will be ‘at least 3500, and that| Duncan E.

' United Blmeg Senator Francis G. consult with the local Democratic lead- ers prior to addressing the mass meet- ing at the’ Alhambra to-night. Word was received at Democratic headquar- ters yesterday from the Stanford Uni- versity Democratic Club, which is com- posed of 150 students, stating that it would atténd the mass meeting and would join in song with the Parker and | Davis campaign quartet. Mr. Newlands says he will confine hls talk to what he believes to - be the issues of the campaign, particularly the question of the Philippines, the re- tention of which his party opposes. Mr. Newlands is sanguine that Ne- v-da will -again go Democratic. He | says he has no faith in the claim of the Republicans that their chance to reclaim the State is at hand, and finds a basis for his argument in the-enthu- siastic manner in which Bryan was re- ceived on his tour through the sage- brush land. Bryan is still the idol ot the people of Nevada, . Mr. Newlands says, and they appreciate the fact that though he lost two campaigns he lost them wkile fighting for the principles they advocate as best for the govern- ment.

TACOMA, Sepz 30.—In his speech here to-night Senator Fairbanks dfs- cussed at some length the settlemerit of the Alaskan boundary dispute. Im- portance was- attached to his utter- ances upon the subject because of his position as chairman of the joint high commission. Zest was also added to the discusslon by the fact that ex- | United States Senator Turner, who was | a member of the commission by which the adjustment was made, is now the Democratic candidate for Governor of A issued. this State. Fairbanks said in part: The joint high commission being unable to settle the question, the commissioners pro- posed to submit to arbitration. The Ameri: can commissioners were - unwiliing to ~aasent to this .proposition to submit to arbitration territory which had been so long in the un- disputed possession of the United States and | which they believed clearly belonged to us. The American commissioners were willing that the subject of prover delimitation of the line should ‘be referred to six jurists of repute, three of whom were to be chosen by the United States and an equal number by Great Britain, and that the decision of a majority should be binding upon. the two governments. But they were unwilling to submit the ques- tion to the decisfon of Furopean. arbitration. The propoition of the American commissioners was rejected, whereupan that question was re- mitted to the two governments to be - dealt with through the usual diplomatic channels. Some years were spent by the two govern- ments in an effort to ‘agree upon a method of settlement. The nexotiations taken up by President McKinley' were continued by Presi- dent' Roosevelt and a comunission of six | jurists was axreed upon, three.of whom were to. be appointed by the- President of - the Unitéd States and three by Great Britain and | the decision of a.majority of the commission- ers wae to be final. The commissioners were. appointed as agreed by the two governments and they convened in London In 1903 and after due deliberation a decision- was rendered sul stantially in aceordance with the Ameri contention The Lord Chief, Justice of E: fand, with threc British commissioners, Mnea with, the three United Staies - members in -| supporting the contention of our government.

He was not a smooth talker, but on the contrary seemed a man with many ideas which he found difficulty In expressing. His strong point was | his pretended knowledge of an agency | which he designated as “vril” or elec- | tricity extracted from the air. Scientists, Caryl said, had discovered | a. method of harnessing the vagrant electricity without the use of expensive | machinery and wonders could be workad with it. He held the secret, ! but was under solemn pledge that the discovery- was to be made use of only» for the benefit of mankind and that | capitallsts generally might not profit by it. In his co-operative colony miils would be operated, the land plowed crops harvested and all things done by | the power of “vril.” The “vril” and its | wonder-working powers recall foreibly | to mind Bulwer-Lytton’s book, ‘“The | Coming Race,” wherein a similar force is used by strange people having its | habitat in the hollow center ~of the| earth.

Caryl came here from Denver in May, 1903, and gave lectures in Golden | Gate Hall. Slade says that Caryl is a| {man of strong psyschic power and | soon won over his hearers. His propo-'| | sition was to build a town on the co- operative plan on land that he owned | near Denver, which he claimed was worth about $26,000. A company named the Vril Industrial System was formed and Slade was made president of the executive committee. At Caryl's suggestion E. R.- Rock- wood and D. B. Hall were sent at his expense to Denver to examine into the - value of the land, and they returned and reported that the valuation placed | on it by Caryl was correct.

On the con- trary, he averred, he struck in self-de- fense and with his fist only, s Mr. Lopez-was strenuously endeavoring to brain him with a heavy club. The encounter occurred in the Paci- fic-street dance hall, Lopez is sole proprietor and floor man- ager. Mr. Willlams dropped in to trip the latest two-step, including the “bunny hug,” with Miss Anastasia Johnson (colored), whose fame as a ! terpsichorean artist extends beyond the confines of the Barbary Coast. He was not aware that between Miss Johnsoh | ! and Mr. Lopez there existed a tie more | tender than the relationship of faith- ful employe and appreciative employer, else his attitude toward the lady might | have been marked by less freedom. Even as it was, however, she did not object to his deportment and only a “Jealousy would have regarded it as un- duly familiar. “Dar wuz no ’'spicion in mah mine dat de lady wuz de flo' manageh’s | sweethaht,” said Mr. Williams to Po- lice Judge Mogan, “an’ I s'lected her as mah pahdnah simply bekase she wuz de mos’ graceful dahneah in de house.

As to the alleged club-wielding, Mr. Lopez ad- mitted that he indulged in it, but not until after Mr." Williams had armed himself with a chair. He was at a loss for Mr. Willlams' rude treatment of Miss Johnson, who was noted for her gentleness of manner. The orchestra was playing and some | of the ladies were singing “Jimmie, Jimmie, That's the Name They Gimme,” and, as Mr. Willlams’ bap- tismal name was James, he may have taken offense at the music and words. It was difficult to .assign any other | réason for -his ungallant behavior toward a lady of Miss Johnson's en- | gaging demeanor. Case continued till next Monday, when Miss Johnson may be called to tell. what she knows about it. se e Humane Officer Hooper pronounced .Joseph Moore’s horse the most at- tenuated equine he had ever seen in active service. So gaunt was its frame, indeed, that the ribs almost sliced the skin and one could have played a xylo- phone solo upon them. Mr. Moore de- clared the horse was amply fed and hinted that its ribs were shoved out i by food pressing against them. If the animal failed to lay on surface fat he (Mr. M.) could not help it. Judge Mogan then continued the case in or- der to consult veterinary experts as to whether it is possible for a horse to confine its fattening to its interior.
