whieh the country suffers so long as the
present tews remain unchanged. The sil
ver senators, so-called, insisted all through
the debate over the repeal of the Sher
man act, that unless other financial leg
islation took the place of the Sherman
act, dire distress would come to the coun
try. The distinguished senator from In
diana (Voorhees), said, during that de
bate, that financial legislation would not
stop with the repeal, but that repeal
would be supplemented by legislation in
behalf of silver. Other distinguished ad
vocates of repeal stated the same thing.
"Well, Mr. President, we have been
waiting IB months for this promised leg
islation, but nothing has been offered.
The longer we wait, the worse off the
country grows. It does not take much of
a financier, nor an adept in figures, to
arrive at the conclusion that you cannot
redeem 5U13.1S0.S3O with 5100,000.000. Of
course, I do not admit, in fact, I insist,
the government Is under no obligation
to redeem this volume of paper money
with gold, but the administration has in
sisted, and still insists, that no matter
what sort of money, or what is written
on it. it must be paid in gold, if its
owner demands gold. The public has had
two bond issues of $00,000,000 each. Gold
lias been withdrawn from the banks to
buy these bonds. As soon as the gold
reached the treasury It began to dwindle
again, being exchanged for these various
paper notes, which were presented for
payment. This process can and will go
on just as long as the government issues
bonds and redeems its paper with gold.
The only result Is to burden the people
with an increasing interest-bearing debt.
"Any scheme which proposes to enlarge
thf currency, without broadening the
basis of money of ultimate redemption,
will certainly add to our complications.
That has been the chief fault with all
bills for the reformation of our currency
system, -which have been formulated up
to this time during this session of con
gress. I sincerely believe four-fifths of
the members of this body conscientiously
believe there will be no permanent pros
perity in this country until the basis of
our currency is broadened. I will be
glad to witness the return to the free
and unlimited coining of silver, as well
as gold. A great many senators on this
floor I think a majority are fully con
vinced there can be no substantial relief
without unlimited coinage of silver, and
it is my Impression no financial bill will
pass the senate, at any rate, which does
not fully recognize silver.
"The folly of makeshift legislation en
acted only to be repealed, has fully dem
onstrated this. It were better to continue
as we are with the gold standard and all
of its necessary and attendant evils than
to resort to any more experiments in that
line. We are threatened that if the pres
ent currency laws are unchanged, the
country will soon be upon a silver "basis.
Perhaps this I3 true. I am somewhat
Inclined to believe it is. The prospect,
however, has no terrors for the silver
advocates. They are contending for gold
and silver, and, to choose between the two,
would greatly prefer silver. This, at any
rate, is the position which I would wish
to take, and in doing so I would be
serving the best interests of the entire
country, in my judgment."
Quay moved to postpone the further con
sideration of the bill and amendments
until February 1, saying it was the duty
of congress to exert all power to prevent
the collection of the income tax. He
added:
"I believe it is the highest privilege of
the minority of this chamber to prevent
the carrying out of this, the highest crime
of the criminal tariff act placed on the
statute books by the last session of this
discredited congress."
At the conclusion of Quay's remarks,
his motion was defeated 1 to 42, Quay
requesting the yea and nay vote, and
Hill not voting.
Sherman said he had listened with pleas
uro to Hill's speech, and agreed with him
Jh the main that the Income tax was in
quisitorial and unjust, and that It ought,
perhaps, to be repealed. He did not agree
with Hill, however, in supposing that the
amendment offered by him was requisite
in order to give citizens the right to sue
in the courts if he considered the tar
unjust or unconstitutional. He thought
every citizen had the unquestionable right
to raise thq question by a suit at law in
tho courts. He went on to argue against
the right of the senate to originate the
question of collection of taxes, saying:
"The house of representatives is su
preme on that subject. The senate has no
moral right to refuse the appropriation.
If the law is bad, it is the law, and con
gress Is bound to furnish the money nec
essary to carry the law into effect. The
host way to reform the law Is to enforce
it. If the senate falls to appropriate the
money necessary to carry the law into ef
fect, it fails to do its duty. It is a viola
tion of the constitution to attempt to
change the recent tariff. There is no jus
tification in withholding the appropriation.
Such a course is destructive of forms of
legislation."
Hill, in reply to Sherman, stated that he
could not agree with him in the conten
tion denying the right of the senate to
aot originally on the question.
Mitchell of Oregon said there ought not
to be any difference of opinion among sen
ators in regard to these two propositions:
First, that the appropriation opposed the
pending bill, and ought to be made, and,
second, that the amendment offered by
the senator from New York ought to be
adopted.
The discussion was further participated
in by Allison and White. Morgan then
raised tho point of order against the
amendment, holding that it was general
legislation on a general appropriation bill,
and the chair so ruled. Hill appealed
from the decision of the chair, and this
appeal he addressed to the senate, holding
that the amendment was proper, and he
wanted to take the judgment of the full
senate on the matter tomorrow. Before
Hill i-poke on the appeal, McPherson in
troduced a bill on tho currency question,
which Aldrlch ahked to have read in full.
Objections wore made, and McPherson
withdrew the bill. Later, leave was given
to print the bill In tho Record, and also
the bill presented by Vest today on the
same question.
The senate then at 5:10 went into execu
tive session, and at S:2fl adjourned.

THE" KEW CURATIVE
OUR COXSCL'S REPORT CPOX
BSE OF AVTI-TOX1SE.
THE
He Glvesn. Detailed Description cf
Every Step in the Progress of the
rVetY Remedy Production.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1L Frank Mason,
United States consul at Frankfort, has
submitted to the department of state a
most interesting report on antl-toxine,
the new curative and preventive of diph
theria. He explained that he is impelled
to do this because the subject is about
to engage the attention of congress, be
cause of the large number of inquiries
for information concering anti-toxine, and
because, at Frankfort, is the only es
tablishment where it has been produced
commercially in quantities adequate to
meet the rapid increase in demand. He
suggests the early publication of the re
port. Mr. Mason gives a clear and de
tailed description of every step in the
process of the production of the new rem
edy, preceded by an accurate history of
the discovery and its developments. The
factory at Frankfort, to which he refers,
is the "Farbroerke," at Hoeschet-on-Main.
Sheep and goats at first employed to
produce the serum were discarded because
their tissue was affected by the various
foods they consumed, and recourse was
had to horses. The establishment now
utilizes the blood of 76 horses, and has
a trained corps of more than 50 men
employed in this one work, producing
at present about 2000 doses per day, and
by the end of this month It will supply
the demand. It is absolutely requisite
that the horses be young, vigorous and
physically perfect, and no racing stud
was ever better housed, exercised, fed
and cared for. The anti-toxine improves
with age, at least, during the first two
months. The German physicians no
longer use it fresh when it is apt to
cause a skin eruption. An early appli
cation, however, is of the utmost im
portance. In 72 cases of children treated
within two days of the first appearance
of diphtheria, but two cases were fatal,
and the death rate in such cases is placed
at 1 per cent. In Germany, where the
fatal cases used to average CO per cent,
and not less than 5000 lives were annually
sacrificed to the diphtheria scourge, the
mortal list has been reduced to less than
one-fourth, and It will be still further
reduced when the country physicians use
it freely. A serious epidemic of diph
theria at Trieste has been successfully
mastered by anti-toxine.
THAT HAWAIIAN CABLE.
Representative Hitt Still In Favor of
Granting- a. Subsidy.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. Representa
tive Hitt, recognized as the republican
leader in the house in foreign affairs, said
today that he fully agreed with the presi
dent that the Hawaiian Islands should
have the benefits of telegraphic communi
cation with the world at large, but was
strongly opposed to putting their cable
facilities under the control of any govern
ment but that of the United States. Hitt
favors of a subsidy for an Hawaiian
cable. In the 51st congress, Hitt offered
an amendment to the diplomatic and con
sular appropriation bill, providing for a
survey of a feasible route for a cable
between the Hawaiian islands .and San
Francisco, and for the preliminary steps
toward the organization of a company.
On the grounds of economy, the propo
sition was defeated by a small majority,
the attendance being limited. Hitt is still
in favor of a subsidy for a Hawaiian
cable. He said today:
"The United States controls most of
the commerce with the Islands and should
control any cable company that Is to be
under government domination. Doubtless
Americans would be free to use the Brit
ish cable for commercial purposes, but
it is doubtful whether we would be per
mitted to send messages in cipher, and
no treaty arrangements would be practi
cable by which this government would
have the privilege of communication for
naval purposes In time of war or other
troubles. Great Britain maintains a
cable between Bermuda and Nova Scotia
which does not begin to pay for its main
tenance. Bermuda is a great strategic
point for a fortress. Americans can order
onions by that cable, but Secretary Her
bert cannot request one of our ships to
put dynamite on a British vessel and
blow her up in the event that such a
proceeding was deemed advisable."
This was, of course, said to illustrate
his point. He then added that had there
been cable communication with the
United States, the complications In Ha
waii for the last two years would have
been greatly simplified and partly averted.
He declared it to be a doubtful form of
economy to expend 525.000,000 annually for
the malntenace of a navy and neglect
comparatively small expenditures for the
control of vessels, by which they could
be effectively handled and kept under
working orders by the home government.
SUED HIS CORPORATION.
A Shareholder in This Way to Teat
the Income Tax.
NEW YORK, Jan. 11. Lewis H. Hyde,
who resides at Orange, N. J., commenced
suit today In tho United States circuit
court against the Continental Trust Com
pany, of which he is a shareholder, to
test the constitutionality of the new in
come tax. It Is understood that a number
of corporations and individuals largely af
lected by the income tax have combined
to protect their Interests, and to contest
the constitutionality of the act. The new
bill of complaint by Mr. Hyde raises ques
tions entirely distinct and separate from
tho Moore suit, to be argued in Washing
ton, and has no connection with that pro
ceeding. The complaint seems to have
been carefully prepared, after full con
sideration, and many new points are sug
gested. ABOUT THE NAVY.
Crcvrs of the Pltilndclphln, Rancor
and Alert to Have Exercise at Sen.
VALLEJO. Cal., Jan. 11. It is expected
that when the Philadelphia leaves Mare
island she will cruise down the coast
to San Diego. The Ranger and Alert may
go along with her, and an opportunity
will thus be afforded, for fleet maneuvers,
target practice, brigade drills, etc., which
will be beneficial to all concerned, and
correspond in a measure to the annual
exercises of the North Atlantic fleet.
The Mohican Has Started.
VALLEJO. Cal., Jan. 11. The United
States ship Mohican left the navy-yard
at 7:30 this morning, and was to proceed
directly through Raccoon straits to sea,
going up to Puget sound to test coal.
The French Were Victorious.
TAMATAVE. Jan. 11. The French bom
barded Fara-Fatra, four miles inland
from Tamatave. The Hovas answered
with seven guns, but the French were suc
cessful and the Hovas retired with a
heavy loss. The details of the engage
ment are: At 8 q'olock In the morning the
French cruisers Prima Ouet, Du Petite,
Thuars and Papin, supported by two guns
of the shore battery, opened fire upon the
Hovas' position outside of Taraateve. At
11 o'clock the Hovas withdrew their seven
guns mentioned. They were badly aimed
and their projectiles did not reach the
French ships. Firing ceased about an
hour later, the Hovas having suffered seri
ous loss. The cruiser Prima Ouet sailed
away later, in order to occupy Mojanga.
Tralnrobbers Foiled.
CARROLLTON. Miss., Jan. IL An at
tempt was made At Indlanola, Miss., 45
miles west of here, to hold up the South
ern rallroad'3 castbound passenger train.
As the train started, after a brief stop,
several men flagged it. The engineer, sus
pecting their purpose, crowded on all
steam. A fusllade of shots vfere fired at
the moving train, and Charles H. Ewlng,
of Moorhead, was wounded in the neck.
A negro was also badly hurt. The doors
of the express car were bombarded, but
no one was hurt.
JUST LIKE DANA.
Rich Men and Newspapers Discussed
at Cornell's Founders' Dny.
ITHACA, Jan. 1L Founders' Day was
appropriately celebrated at Cornell, the
principal exercise being an address in the
armory by Charles A. Dana, editor of
the New York Sun. The exercises began
at 11 o'clock with music, the armory be
ing crowded to the door with townspeople
and students, probably 2300 in number. On
the platform were Mr. Dana, President
Schurman, Dr. C. M. Tyler and Hon. H.
W. Sage, President Schurman made a few
remarks pertaining to Founders' Day, and
at 11:30 introduced Mr. Dana, who said:
"I esteem myself fortunate in being
chosen to make the Founders' Day ad
dress to the students and officers of this
famous university. Every age requires
new exemplars to do the work that age
has to do In the vast drama of man's
existence on earth. There are two kinds
of usefulness in this age. The first is the
man of thought in the realm of science
and invention, such as Edison."
Mr. Dana then spoke a few moments
on the wonders this age has produced In
the way of inventions. He then stated
that the second class of useful men was
that of those endowed with the gift of
amassing wealth or getting riches, against
whom people were wont to disclaim, and
against whom legislation was directed.
Among these, he said, were Ezra Cornell
and Henry Sage. These men knew how
to save, and to give for great public
enterprises and uses. Wealthy men were
a useful and necessary part of the age
and were doing good.
He then turned his attention to the
newspaper, saying it was a primary ne
cessity; that a man must have his break
fast, but he also must have his paper.
The newspaper profession required the
utmost learning. Many newspapers were
very sparsely supplied with this neces
sary article. Mr. Dana then described the
revolution as regards typesetting, by the
advent of typesetting machines, and de
scribed their workings. He then spoke of
greatly reduced cost of paper, and said
that it was so cheap now that some pa-
pers with a circulation of 100,000 could
strike off a few additional hundred thou
sands at little cost and ship them to, say.
Glen's Falls, where they could be made
into paper boxes, while the newspaper
got the benefit of additional circulation.
Mr. Dana was emphatic as to certain
kinds of newspapers. He stated that if
one of the young men before him were
to start in the newspaper business,
he must decide what kind of a paper he
would like to edit. There were two kind3.
One a newspaper for sensible people, and
another for fools. He had high testimony
that there were certain portions of every
community made up of fools, and there
fore it was perfectly right to provide
newspapers for them. Some newspapers
were taking care of this class in fact,
making a specialty of It. The Sunday
newspaper, Mr. Dana thought, was a good
institution. If it were wrong to make it,
it was wrong to read it, and the Amer
ican people had stamped It with their
approval, because the circulation of Sun
day newspapers is double that of the
daily, and as long as people will buy
them, they will be made. People com
plained because, perhaps, there were nox
ious things in the newspapers, but there
would always be. The newspaper was
the mirror of the day's events, and had
to chronicle the good things and the bad,
and, as the bad predominated, naturally
something noxious .would have -to be
chronicled. .If. one 'paper did-not print a
certain Item, people would take another
that did. If a divine providence permit
ted such things to occur, surely we must
be permitted to tell the facts to each
other.
Mr. Dana then spoke of the necessity
of a newspaper having independence. As
to the qualifications of a newspaper man,
he said he must have a complete educa
tion, and especially a knowledge of the
English language, otherwise he may write
that which he does not mean. He must
also be practical, have a knowledge of
chemistry, electricity, history and po
litical economy. The latter was not so
essential, he thought, because no one un
derstood it. He then spoke of the news
agencies, the pay of employes of papers,
etc. The artists employed on papers also
received attention. First of importance
on a newspaper he put reporters, enlarg
ing on their gift of knowing the truth
when they saw it. Mr. Dana then ex
patiated on the value of a free press. In
closing, he gave some maxims:
First, never be in a hurry; second, all
tlie goodness of a good egg can't make
up for the badness of a bad one; third,
stand by the Stars- and Stripes and stand
steadfast for liberty.
Mr. Dana's address took one hour and a
quarter for delivery.
Fidelity Is like a jewel so is Dr. Price's
Cream Baking Powder.
ASSOCIATIONS IS SESSION
The
Dairymen Discuss Legislation
and Elect Ofllccrs.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. The morning
session of the National Dairyman's Asso
ciation at Willard's hotel today was de
voted principally to addresses containing
suggestions pertaining to the work ot or
ganization. Congressman Halner, of Ne
braska, urged the dairymen to organize
their Interests in congress. He suggested
the urging of the Grouthlll bill, which gives
the several states power to enact laws
wiih regard to oleomargarine, and other
food adulteration. Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture Danby also addressed the
meeting. He said that the agricultural
department considered the dairy interest
as the foundation stcne of agriculture,
and argued for diversity in farming
products. At the afternoon session ad
dresses were made by Representatives
Hatch and Grout and ex-Governor Herd,
of Wisconsin, on the subject of dairy in
terests in their states,' after which the
members were received by the president at
the White House. They then visited the
capltol. At tonight's session, the follow
ing officers were elected for the ensuing
year:
W. D. Herd, Wisconsin, president; D.
W. Willson. Illinois, secretary: C. S.
Martin, of New York, treasurer.
Chicago was decided upon as the next
meeting place, and the third Tuesday ot
January. 1S96, was fixed as the time. An
adjournment was then had until tomor
row, when the convention will adjourn
sine die.

0SE DEMOCRAT IS K
GREAT DAY AT SACRA3IEXTO OVER.
BUDD'S INAUGURATION.
His Inaugural Says California's Scan
dalous Extravnsance Is Part
of Permanent Literature.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. H. This has been
a gala" day In Sacramento. The partisan
friends of James H. Budd made it a
democratic holiday and the ceremonies at
tending the going out of ex-Governor
Markham and the coming in of Governor
Budd were marked by a pomp and en
thusiasm that threw the whole city into
a fever of excitement. By 10 o'clock this
morning lower K street presented a scene
of animation that caused old Sacrament
ans to gaze in open-eyed astonishment.
Not only had all the regular trains and
steamers come in loaded to their utmost
capacity, but there had been an extra
train from Stockton and way points, and
the big steamer Bay City brought up a
multitude of enthusiastic democrats from
San Francisco. The various organized
bodies began the formation of a column
on lower K street. The parade of mil
itary and uniformed political organiza
tions was immense. As the column moved.
Governor Markham, Governor-elect Budd
and Justice Henshaw, under escort of
special committees of the legislature in
carriages, took their places in the pro
cession. A multitude of people crowded
on- the sidewalks. In the street, on the
housetops and in windows and .every oth
er point of vantage, cheered the column
as it moved up the principal street of the
city.
There had -been a steady stream of
people pouring into the capltol grounds.
By 11 o'efock the corridors of the big
building and rill the steps and walks lead
ing to it were literally swarming with
people. An hour before the time set for
administering the official oath, every seat
and every inch of standing room on the
floor and in the galleries of the great
chamber had been occupied. Women
were there in even greater numbers than
the men, elbowing right and left for posi
tion. At 11:30 the assembly was called to
order by the speaker pro tern., Spencer,
and Rev. Summers, the colored chaplain
of the house, offered prayer. Soon a
great cheer was heard from the corridors
without, and a moment later Governor
Markham, Governor-elect Budd and Jus
tice Henshaw entered. The governor and
the governor-elect were given seats im
mediately in front of the bar of the house,
while Justice Henshaw was escorted to
a seat beside the speaker.
After prayer, the roll of the joint as
sembly was called, and then Governor
Markham was introduced by Speaker
Lynch. There was a tremor in his voice,
and it was evident as he began to speak,
that he was deeply moved. He began by
saying that four years ago he took the
oath, pledging himself to faithfully per
form the duties of the office he assumed,
with misgivings as to his ability. What
ever the results might prove, he had en
deavored at all times to be guided by his
obligation. Now that the time had come
to be relieved from that responsibility,
feeling that he had done his duty, he stood
ready to accept the verdict of his fellow
citizens. SReaking of his successor, he
said that Mr. Budd had on other occa
sions been entrusted with honorable and
responsible office, and had done his duty.
Budd was then introduced amid tre
mendous cheering. The oath of oltlce
was administered by Justice Henshaw,
and a cannon salute of 19 guns was given.
Then Budd delivered his inaugural ad
dress. He opened with the declaration
that for "the Oiext four years he was to be
charged ?wlttt ;a very s-esponsible duty,
and h'e pljadged, bis- honor, manhood and
best ability to Its faithful execution. He
stated that after the recent election he
nad hoped 'to make a thorough study of
public affairs in the state preparatory to
entering upon his duties, but had been de
terred from doing so by the necessity of
remaining in conference with his friends
and his party to protect the result which
was achieved at the polls. He then en
tered at length upon the subject of econ
omy in the administration of state affairs,
and declared that the condition of state
extravagance in California was a matter
of common notoriety, and that the reck
lessness prevailing in the past and neces
sitating a high rate of taxation amounted
to almost a public crime. He called at
tention to th" fact that while, owing to
the general business depression, retrench
ments had been made In all kinds of pri
vate enterprises, the conduct of affairs of
state had been permitted to go forward
with their usual extravagance and with a
tendency from bad to worse. Correction
of these evils rested with the executive
and the legislative departments, working
together harmoniously, and he advised
the passage of laws designed to bring
public expenditures within limits of
reason; to lop off redundant functionaries;
to reduce salaries so far as consistent,
and to place state affairs on a safe busi
ness footing. Referring to needed con
stitutional amendments, the governor rec
ommended an amendment abolishing the
clause making the findings of the railroad
commission conclusive, and another
amendment requiring special qualifica
tions for eligibility to office. He said In
California any one who could get a nom
ination had been held eligible to election
on a state commission. Continuing on this
subject, the governor said:
"In 14 years' experience In this state we
have not covered ourselves with glory
through the operation of the law as it
stands. Almost any kind of change would
be an improvement. I here state nothing
new to the people, and intend no reflection
upon any individual member of the rail
road commission, past or present, when I
say that the conduct of this department
of our state government has been from
the outset a scandal and a disgrace. It
appears to have been impossible hitherto
to elect a commission the majdrity of
whose members would not fall under the
influence of the powerful interest whose
relations with the people they were chosen
to regulate. This scandal has not only
been a perennial topic of discussion in
the newspapers, but it has gone into per
manent literature as an example of the
low standard of official morality in the
community."
On the subject of transportation matters
In general the governor said:
"While as legislators you cannot pass
any act directly bearing upon the subject
of transcontinental transportation, still
you may instruct your senators and advise
your representatives In congress thereon,
and I would suggest that you so advise
and instruct in favor of government con
struction and control of the Nicaragua
canal. I also suggest that you instruct
and advise against all Pacific railroad
refunding bills. The government might,
with profit to the Pacific states, foreclose
on- the property "and operate the mort
gaged roads, under proper regulations, at
a rate of charges to be measured by cost
of service."
Governor Budd concluded the delivery of
his message at 1:30 P. M., after which the
joint assembly arose and all pres
ent marched to and through the gover
nor's chambers. As the throng went by
ln single file, each shook the hand of the
new governor. This reception, which was
as cordial as It was informal, lasted un
til late in the afternoon. Tonight the
city has again taken on its wonted as
pect and California is under the rule pf
a democratic governor.
Millard's Oath of Office.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. H. Lieutenant
Governor Millard today received a tele
gram from Sacramento requesting him to
forward by mail an official reoord of his
oath of office, which was taken before
Superior Judge Clark yesterday.' The
oath, which was witnessed by Congress
man McLachlan, will be forwarded to the
capital at once and it Is said that, in
the event of Lieutenant-Governor Red-
f dick's refusal to relinquish the chair or
the refusal by the legislature to recognlzo
the oath thus taken, a resolution will be
submitted authorizing the appointment of
one member from each house to personal
lysupervise the swearing in of the lieutenant-governor.

In Tennessee's Legislature.
NASHVILLE. Tenn., Jan. 11. The gub
ernatorial contest continued to be the
all-absorbing subject in the senate today.
The entire morning session was consumed
in the discussion, the republicans insist
ing that the vote shall be canvassed, while
the democrats take the ground that an
investigation should be made beforehand.
In the house this morning something of a
sensation was created by Mr. Robertson,
democrat, who arose to a question of
privilege and read a letter from W. A.
Davis, a republican from Dixon, who
stated that there was a lot of republican
boodle floating around, and that he could
secure some of it for his vote. The sen
ate, by a vote of 19 to U, in the after
noon, decided to postpone counting and
publishing the returns of the recent gub
eratorial election until an investigation
could be made.

and lawmakers, or at least most of them,
deserted Sacramento this afternoon at the
close of the Inaugural ceremonies, and

flict has been transferred to San Francis
co. Both Senator Perkins and M. H. De
Young went with the crowd. It Is not
known whether either of them will return
with the lawmakers, who adjourned until
Monday afternoon. The De Young- men
are still insisting that Perkins won no
great victory when he captured the cau
cus last night. They refer to the fact that
61 yotes are required to elect, and assert
that the Perkins men cannot rally the
necessary number. This afternoon, how
ever. Perkins' managers were claiming to
have gained six votes since the caucus,
increasing their total strength to 51. De
Young's supporters are making no ex
aggerated claims, but content themselves
with the broad assertion that Perkins pos
itively cannot be elected.

A Mass .Meetlnj? to Sccnre the En
forcement of Laws "Without Re
spect to Persons.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 11. At a spe
cial meeting of the Civic Federation, held
today, a resolution was adopted to send to
the various clergy of the city a copy of a
call to be issued for a mass meeting and
ask that they read it from their pulpits.
The call is addressed to the citizens of
San Francisco and is as follows:
"A mass meeting is hereby called, to be
held in Odd Fellows hall Sunday, Janu
ary 13. The object of the meeting is to
protest against and denounce the appoint
ment of M. A. Gunst as police commis
sioner and to take action relative to the
recent election frauds and other instances
of municipal corruption. Also, to adopt
measures to bring the offenders to justice
and to insure the enforcement of our laws
without respect to persons."
The call is signed by about 20 ministers
and prominent men and women of this
city. Speaking of the work of the meet
ing. Secretary Gibson said:
"Nothing has yet been planned that is
absolutely definite, but we fully expect
that the work done at the Saturday night
meeting and the Sunday afternoon meet
ing will end in a grand harmonizing of
all these societies and that, as a further
result, there will be a sweeping out of tho.
immoral forces that so insolently con
front us."
The Rev. Dr. Robert Mackenzie, of the
First Presbyterian church, has taken
much interest in the moral uprising and
its causes leading to It, and has spoken
on the subject from his pulpit and made
it a topic for a lecture to his students in
the Montgomery theological seminary.
Speaking to a reporter, he said:
"I interpret the late governor's appoint
ment of police commissioner as an invita
tion to all who have regard for the city's
character to .investigate the whole mu
nicipal" fabric- Evidently smclTa nianaS
Mr. Markham would not ignorantly make
a mistake in his appointments. He' must
have inferred that this is the kind of men
we have at the head of affairs, although
wo do not know It, and made this ap
pointment in order to open our eyes. It
was very kind of him, but still it is in
keeping with an administration that sel
dom rose above this level. Certainly the
time has come not only for the citizens
to talk, but to act in this matter. We will
be helped by the example of New York
and also hindered, because the guilty are
aware of the storm that is coming and
are already putting their houses in order.
I take it, however, that while we are
talking, some judicious body of men
should be gathering sure facts, so that,
in due time, wo may be able to talk to the
point."
The Rev. William H. Moreland, rector
of St. Luke's Episcopal church, said:
"I will give hearty encouragement to
any effort, in the interest of municipal
purity. I had occasion recently to investi
gate the saloon question here, and I found
that in San Francisco there is one drink
ing place to every 18 voters. In the whole
state there is one to every 32 voters. I
do not think that such a movement as is
contemplated could be led by a clergy
man. It should be a citizens' movement,
led by laymen. The clergy can do much
to awaken the public conscience, but are
called upon to lead such movements only
when the laity will not. Church members
should join such movements as citizens
and not as church members."
The. Rev. Dr. E. R. Dille, who will be
one of the speakers at the popular meet
ing Sunday afternoon, and who has been
prominent in the movement to organize
the Civic Federation, expressed himself
in his usual strong way concerning the
appointment of Moso Gunst as police com
missioner. He said:
"It -was an outrage on this community
and an offense to every decent citizen.
It is putting at the head of the city's gov
ernment a man identified with the law
breaking element. I think that good will
come of it in the end, however. I have
no doubt that it will strengthen the free
holders in adopting measures to secure
local home government, for one thin.
It is a shame that the city, in any of its
departments, should be governed from
abroad, and such an appointment would
never have ben made if the police com
mission was subject to local control. The
appointment and the attendant indigna
tion will strengthen and give speed to the
movement for the organization of a Civic
Federation, which will combine the order-
loving elements of the city and work for
municipal reform and cleanliness."

SMALLPOX AT ROBY.
A Disease Does "What the Law Wo
Aot Able to Do.
CHICAGO. Jan. 11. Aid from unex
pected sources has come to the Indiana
authorities who have for two months been
racking their brains as to the best method
of closing and keeping closed the race
track at Roby. Ind. An epidemic of small
pox has broken out, there and there is a
wild scramble among the stablemen and
jockeys to reach a healthful locality. The
authorities of Illinois have for some time.
been keeping a close watch on the traci?
to" prevent too many hangers-on of the
place from invading Chicago. Every
jockey or stableman who cannot show an
approximation to a clean bill of health
is told that Chicago has troubles enough
of its own without importing them from
the Roby track. When the man .shows
symptoms cf smallpox he is promptly
taken to the pesthouse. A census being
taken, it was found that seven men from
the Roby track, all with smallpox in its
worst form, had been brought to the pest
house within three days. Chicago au
thorities are powerless to move against
the plaguespot, as it Is under the juris
diction of the Indiana board of health.
ICew Yorlw Epidemic.

causes of the epidemic.
FOR A . TREASURE : ISLAND.
A Captain's VoyaRc to SoarcH-tor an
Islund Not on Charts. .
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 11. The schoon
er yacht Vine, Captain John E. Burns,
sailed this morning for a four months'
trading voyage in the South Seas. She
will go first to Guayamas, and thence to
Honolulu, Tahiti and the Gilbert islands.
There is a touch of romance in this voy
age, from the fact that Captain Burns
is planning to do a little prospecting for
a lost island, in addition to his trade with
the South Sea people. It seems that in
l&M, Captain Williams, an acquaintance
of the owner and master of the Vine,
discovered a valuable guano island about
1000 miles off the coast of Peru. The isl
and, according to Captain Williams, was
about 4 miles long and 1 miles wide.
It is not down on any of the charts, and
Captain Williams, after claiming the dis
covery for himself, kept its location a
secret, intending that some day it should
make him rich. The vicissitudes of a sail
or's life prevented the realization of his
dream, and the old sailor died, leaving
his papers and charts and the story of the
valuable place to Captain Burns. It is
the intention of Burns, should he find
the island, to hoist the American fiag and
take possession in the name of the United
States.
