Mr. ccompanied by H. J. Angels, A t to that great manufactory, it was late in the day before his ended. Not one of the eleven dred workmen failed to meet and £h hands with the visitor. Many of them talked with him over the po- ituation and the outcome, a great desire to have a con- of the present administra- tion. Belief that Roosevelt would be elected and the Republican majority in the House increased was expressed. There was no place in the great the M. J E yes, buildings, from cellars to the roofs, that was not visited, so that every man had the opportunity to meet, and did meet, the advocate of their cause. Mr, Hayes was much pleased with his reception and left the place with as- surances of support. the conversation of the men after- ward" that the fear of hard times fol- lowing a change of administration is one of the strong incentives to keep tepublicans in line and to bring all others into the ranks. The business depression of 1893 -and the ensuing misery of the laboring classes has had its effect. A repetition of such a pe- riod is not desired. FOURTH DISTRICT. Julius Kahn is conducting an enter- prising and effective campaign in the Fourth District. Yesterday afternoon at the railroad yards, Fourth and Berry streets, he spoke to a large throng of men. In the evening he addressed an open air meeting at Tenth and Harrison streets, and spoke to a large audience. Cheers greeted the nominee at every place. Mr. Kahn utters no words derogatory to the Democratic nominee. He quotes the records and cites facts showing what Republican rule has done for the country in the line of affording em- ployment and living compensation to | the workers. He compares the wages of to-day with the scant wages paid when the Democrats held the reins! of Government. Republicans of Brentwood and sur- rounding country rallied night before last to hear the eloquent John F. Davis and the persuasive Charles M. Belshaw. It is predicted that Roosevelt and Bel- shaw will carry Contra Costa County by 900 majority. SECOND DISTRICT. Duncan E. McKinlay, the able and popular nominee for Congress in the Chas. Keilus & Co.

The State Cen- | tral Committee is assured of Republi-| can gains in Lake and Mendocino. | Round Valley is reported all right. All ! that was needed to put voters in line| for Roosevelt and McKinlay was the| publication of the complete text of the | Round Valley bill which Congressman | Bell attempted to pass during the clos- | ing hours of the last session. The, speakers clearly presented the fact that | the bill which the Democratic paper of | Ukiah published was not the bill which ' Bell tried to ring up. The text of the suppressed bill provoked surprise and indignation. | Reports are coming to the State com- mittee from Sacramento that the Dem- ! ocrats are trying to save Bell by cir-{ culating the report that the canteen | at the State Soldiers’ Home was not closed down, but was simply placed on a footing with the canteen of the na-| tional homes. The State committee promptly gives out the correct informa- tion that it is not lawful under the pro- visions of the Bell amendment to sell a | drink of the purest California wine or even a glass of beer on the State Home grounds. The canteen at the National Home, Santa Monica, is in full bl'ast. | The prohibition in this State applies only to the home situated in the dis- trict which Bell in 1902 was elected to represent. The prohibition . press praises Bell for wiping out twenty saloons with one stroke of legislation. The Prohibition State Central Com- | mittee announces a meeting at Acad- emy of Sciences Hall, San Francisco, | this evening. Rev. A. C. Bane will be the chief speaker. He will speak on the | topic, “Why the Saloons Should Be| Eliminated.” The final grand rally of the Prohibitionists of San Francisco, | Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley will} take place Friday, November 4.

The meeting was called to order by William H. Kline, chief deputy as- gessor, who introduced. Willlam M. Cannon as chairman of the evening. In the audience was a liberal sprink- ling of the braves of the club that Judge Ferral said for years had kept its doors open and stood unflinchingly by the principles of Jefferson_in vic- tory and defeat. Prior to the speech of Judge Ferral Mr. Edelman explained the course he intended to pursue should he reach the legislative halls of the State. At- -/ SACRAMENTO REPUBLICANS SHOW STRENGTH AT MAMMOTH MEETING Enthusiasm of the Capital City Voters Aroused Senator Perkins Makes Forceful Speech in Behalf of Party Leaders. Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Oct. 21.—The Re- publican demonstration that greeted United States Senator George C. Per- having just re. | kins in this city to-night indicates that the Republican majority in Sacramento County on November 8 will be over- whelming. For the third time in this campaign the spacious hall of the Old Pavilion was filled to overflowing with enthusiastic Republican voters, who cheered themselves hoarse when the names of Roosevelt and Fairbanks or of Congressional Candidate Duncan E. McKinlay were mentioned by the speakers. Senator George C. Perkins and E. Myron Wolfe, State Insurance Commissioner, were the principal speakers at the meeting. A brilliant torchlight parade, headed by the Rooseveit Republican Legion and a brass band, marched through the principal streéts and escorted the guests of honor to the hall. The meet- ing was presided over by Alfred Hol- man, editor and publisher of the Sac- ramento Record-Union, who read a letter from Judge Albert G. Burnett of Santa Rosa express- ing his regrets that sickness prevented him from speaking in behalf of Duncan E. McKinlay, who, he de- clared, deserved the vote of every Re- publican in the district and, if elected, would make the best representative this district ever sent to Washington. Senator Perkins was warmly ap- plauded when he arose to speak. He said that all good citizens should have one object in view, namely: to secure for the country good laws and good government. The party that we should be interested in, he said, should be the party that does the most good. The people of, this country have tried both parties. In 1893 a Democratic President was elected and hard times followed. The people found they had made a mis- take and when the Republicans came into power again, in 1897, prosperity followed. Senator Perkins then took up the issues of the campaign and in an eloquent address plainly pointed out the strength of the Republican policy. E. Myron Wolfe made an effective appeal for the Republican candidates and especially for Duncan E. McKin- lay, the Republican nominee for Con- gressman from this district. RS TR REPUBLICANS ACTIVE.

Franz Bopp has arrived in San Francisco from Montreal, Canada, to assume his duties as German Consul General in this city. Adolph Rosen- thal, the former Consul General, has been granted an extended leave of ab- | sence, and the supposition is thalx Bopp’s appointment, now temporary, | will later be made permanent. Bopp | has had more than twelve years' ex- | perience in the German Consular sys- tem. For five years he was German ! vice Consul at Chicago, and for a| year he served in a like capacity in New York. From there he was trans- ferred to Montreal, Canada, where his | Jurisdiction included the entire Domin- | ion. He remained at Montreal for over six years and comes to San Fran- ciscc direct from there. During his term of service in Cana- da Bopp has had to contend with some of the most important problems in the history of the trade relations between | Germany and the Dominion. A tariff war, brought about,» according to Bopp’s view of the matter; by Cham- | berlain’s policy of imperial protection, has been waged with the result that the Dominion now imposes a surtax | on goods imported from Germany. In regard to reciprocity between the | United States and Canada, the new Consul says the agitation is mostly on | the part of the border States of Amer- | ica. In Canada the desire for special | trade treaties has declined of late years. Bopp has taken apartments at the Augustine. on Post street and will ghortly be joined by his family. | —_—————— DIVORCE AND ALIMONY | FOR WIFE OF VOCALIST | § Music Teacher Deserted Family—Real Estate Man’s Intemperance Cause of Decree, Twenty-five dollars a month of the earnings of George M.

Perry, the Chicago Banker, Growing Out of Car Plant Blaze —e—— TESTIMONY GIVEN BY THE ENGINEER A He Tells of the Finanecier’s Presence in Buildings ‘but Short Time Before the Flames Broke Forth CHICAGO, Oct. 27.—HEvidence of in- cendiarism in connection with the Chi- cago Car and Locomotive Works fire at Hegewisch, leading practically up to the point when the match was ap- plied, is in the hands of Corporation Counsel Tolman. feature of the case that developed to- day is the discovery that I. N. Perry, president of the National Bank of North America, has flled with the in- surance companies no claim for any portion of the $172,000 insurance carried on the plant. The evidence given be- fore Fire Attorney Johnson and made public to-day contains testimony from Frank Bock, engineer of the Chicago Car and Locomotive Works, who also reports a talk he had with L. H. Bald- win, former president of the company. Baldwin, according to the evidence, said that Perry had applied for in- creased irsurance greatly overstating the actual value of the plant. The en- gineer testified that Baldwin had told him of this and repeatedly warned him to be on his guard. . “Those irflated values mean some- thing. Guard that plant as you would your life. Don't let any one in the buildings alone, not even Perry,” was the warning given by Baldwin on an occasion, according to the engineer. COMBUSTIBLES MOVED. Bock’s testimony recited that Perry had peremptorily ordered combustible materials, such as cars, to be stored among the buildings of the plant, which were of such construction and so sepa- rated that fire would scarcely have spread from one to another but for the intervening combustible matter. Fri- day or Saturday, according to the en- gineer, Perry ordered all cars brought “so that no one could get into them.” Sunday, when Perry called, at the plant, Bock was sick. < “Go home; you're in bad shape,” said Perry to Bock, according to the evi- dence, but Bock, Tecalling Baldwin's warning, went through the plant with his employer. “Well, I've only a little figuring to do now,” Perry is alleged to have said. “You go on to the doctor and get a headache powder, and I'l meet you at the station.” 3 ‘When Bock reached the station Perry was not in sight. Running back to the plant, he searched through two build- ings and finally met Perry coming out of a third building. They went to the station and Perry took the train. FIRE SUDDENLY STARTS. “1 started back to the plant and had gone only a little way. when I saw smoke coming from the exhibit build- ing,” said Buck. “I ran all the way to the plant, but the alarm had al- ready been turned in.” Perry’'s counsel to-day declared that no claim for loss had been filed with the insurance companies because no in- | ventory of the company's assets had ! been completed until last Saturday, but that the delay in filing a claim had no connection whatever with the develop- ment of arson charges. Late in the afternoon Perry and a number of his friends went to the court room of Justice Callahan in South Chi- Another sensational] LEAD DISPUTED United States Supreme Court Case Depends on Whether It Is Contraband or Not SUIT APPEALED R NS Action Growing Out of the Japanese-Chinese War Is Up for Its Final Hearing ————— WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.—The United States Supreme Court has been asked to decide whether pig lead is contra- band of war, and the question was argued before that tribunal to-day. The controversy arese in 1894 during, the war betweer Japan and China and the parties to it are the Northern Pa- cific Railway Company and the Amerl-l can Trading Company. | he case grows out of a delay of} about six weeks’ duration in the ship- ment of a consignment of 200 tons of lead which the trading company had sold to the Japanese Government, sub- ject to the conditions that there should be no excessive delax in its delivery. It was carried from New York to Ta- coma, Wash., by the Northern Pacific Company, but after it had been loaded on a connecting steamer, a United States revenue collector refused to Is- sue clearance papers to the vessel with the lead, on the ground that it was con- traband. Delay ensued and when the lead reached its destination the war had closed. Consequently, Japan re- fused to receive the consignment at the agreed price and the trading company was compelled to accept $11,000 instead of $38,000, the price first agreed on. The company also asks an award of damages equal to the difference, and the case turns on the question as to whether the shipment was properly prohibited and, if so, whether the rail- road company was responsible for the prohibition. The trial court decided the case in favor of the rallroad com- pany, but that decision was reversed by the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The case was presented by C. W. Bunn of St. Paul, general counsel for the Northern Pacific, and F. B. Jen- nings of New York for the trading company. ——e———— Californians in New York.

That was ex-Pugilist Hall, a private in the i fantry. Hall was taken with attacks" of epilepsy in the Philippines, which resulted in a mild form of insanity. Possessed of great muscular pawer he was doubly strong when laboring un- der insane attacks. On the way East he informed one of the guards in a confidential manner that when they arrived at Chicago he was going to make a big break for liberty. Dr. Craig was apprised of this, and know- ing the enormous power of the man, he decided to control him by will power rather than by force of arms. He pointed out the results of any at- tempt at a wild break or to overpgwer the guards, and after a strgauous talk succeeded in quieting his patient and landed him safely at the hospital.
