GLADsToNE,s SPEECH.
Its Remarkable Effect Upon the Locdon
"Times"-Eneland and America.

us femarKaOle 6uecs upon lne L0Cu0n
"Timss"-Eneland and America.
LONDON, Nov. 1.-Gladstone's Mckinley
tariff speech at Dundee has had one re-
malkable effect. II has reconyerted the
Times into eulogies of Gladstone and
friend to America. 1t is not long since that
joum i said that after the passage of the
Mckinley tariff bill talk about the kinship
and friendship with America was out of
date. Now the same authority says: 1--WE
are greatly mistak if the American peo-
pie, as a whole, are not pleasantly impressed
by the perfect tone and temper of Glad
stones observations, and by the sincere, ar
dent and even enthusiastic nature OF the
feelings he entertains, and which our entire
nation shares with him for the great Eng
disappearing republic across the Atlantic"
Moreton Frewer publishes in the Fort
nightly Review an article on the national
policy of the United States, in which he
points out that the English are again siding
with the Democratic party in America, as
they did during the rebellion. He sees
that the interests of American work
ingmen are at stake. The American
workingman," says Frewer, "also has been
consulted, and he believes implicitly that
not much later his community. assisted
by modern machinery and cheap capital,
Will be able to produce all that is required
by all the people during siX-h0ur work
ing day. He has sense to recognize the i'm
possibility of this six-hour ideal If the
product of foreign pauper labor is to be
allowed to swamp the home markets"
Frewer is an Englishman who has been in
America.
PARIS, Nov. 1.-The new French tariff
contains striking feature which has been
heretofore unnoticed. This is the clause
which gives the President and Cabinet full
power 10 retaliate 10 as great an extent as
they choose upon articles exported to France
by any country which discrimnates against
French products or in any way erectS
barriers against the French trade. This is
obviously modelled to meet the American
Meat Inspection Bill and intended as the
French answer 10 that measure. The
general tone Of the French press continues
hostile to the adoption of retaliatOry meas
ureS against the United States.

BERLIN, Nov. 1.-The report of the COM
mission on the tariff question has not been
published, but it is known to disfavor both
the extensive revision of the Austro-German
customs matters and combined action in the
way of reprisal for the American and French
tariffs. The new French tariff is a heavier
blow than the Mckinley law against the eX-
port trade of Austria, for while it does no.
affect Germany, expectation from Austria to
France is almost entirely checked by the
new tariff. Austrian newspapers are crying
out against it. Protests chiefly from the
agricultural interests, are pouring into the
Chancellerie against any zOIlveren with
Austria, and the notifications at present
are likely to be very slight The Govern
ment does not come near Austria's wishes
for joint reprsals for the Mckinley bill, an
official German inquiry having shown such
action to be an impossiblity.
Emperor William has ordered the prose-
cution of Herr Palzwaldt. editor OF the
Potsdamer Zeitung, for publishing the re-
marks made by the Emperor in proposing a
toast to the Duke OF COnnaught at the din
ner of the Ziethen Hussars, of which the
Duke is honorary Colonel The Emperor
called the Duke an able German officer,
worthy to lead the hussars in the presence
OF the enemy. The French papers took this
up and asked if the future Commarder-in-
Chief of the English army ought thus to
identify himself with the German army.
The French Ambassador to England, it is
-, oopyoy-al n Soils huru N
intmation that the affair was offensive 10
the French Government. Now the Kaiser
denies the accuracy of the report of his toast
and prosecutes the editor.
A communication in the official press.

Cabinet, denying curtly that the Kaiser took
any step whatever to induce Bismarck to

received an invitation from the Oberhaus to
attend, as a member Of that body, but told
his friends that whila he would respond TO

Hamburger NachrichteD, which is clearly
from Bismarck, refers to the exultant howl

right-feeling people.
Austrian official papers ignore the visit of
the Austrian Empress to Rome. She re-
manned there two days under the name OF
Mrs. Norris. She had long audience with
the Pope and spent the rest of the time
sightseeing.

CLOSE AND EXCITING.
The Nets Win an Eleven Inning
Game From The COlOnels.

The game yesterday at Haight street was
not by any means brilliant one, but it was
nevertheless close and exciting, requiring
eleven innings to settle it, and afforded the
2Oo0 spectators present any amount of gen.
uine amusement.
At the bat Dooley made corking home-
run hit over the left field carriage fence, and
Mcdonald cracked ont beautiful three
base hit, which tied the score. His dashing
base-running was also pleasing feature of
the contest.
Carsey appeared in the box against the
Nets, but for some unknown reason retired
after the third inning. Then Sammy Shaw,
who has been pitching ball on suspicion p"
for the Coluuels, went in, and barring lis
wildness, did his most creditable work here
of the season.
Lookabaugh twirled good ball for the
home team, and though hit hard managed to
keep the safe shots well distributed. Little
Ward supported him in splendid shape.

Ex.supsryisor James Gilleran.

Intelligent voters have come to the con-
cluSiOn that it is time 10 do something to
put an end to corruption in our local poll
tics. Independent voters are becoming
numerous; and there will be an unusual
amount of scratching at the coming election.
There are no national questions at issue.
With all honest voters the main question
should be the choosing OF honest and cap
able men, regardless Of party.
For local officers the Republicans have
nominated a good clean ticket, which is
entirely free from suspicion of boss dicta-
tiun. They have chosen men of proved
ability; and men whoSs records are above
suspicion. In nominating James Gilleran
for Superintendent OF Streets, they have
made wise choice. Mr.. Gilleran was born
in Ireland of good ancestry. He came to
this country at the age of 6, and received
good education in the excellent schools of
Massachusetts. Having been educated and
brought up in this country, he is a thor
ougbly patriotic American. He came to San
Francisco in 1871-nineteen years ago-and
for while worked at his trade as an IRON
molder. By industry and economy lie saved
enough from his earnings to become propri-
et0r, in 1877, of the Winchester House. In
1885 he became proprietor Of the Windsor
Hotel, corner Fifth and Market streets. He
has successfully conducted that well-kn0Wn
hosiery ever since.
In social life Mr.. Gilleran's genial quail
ties have won him hosts of friends. He has
held offices of trust in several fraterna! snci-
eties. He is an officer of the A. o. U. w.,
Chosen Friends, Society of Old Friends, an
honorary member of the Foresters and q
member of the knights of st. Patrick. For
many years he has freely given his time and
services TO the causs Of organized labor. At
present he is paymaster and receverlof d0na-
tions for the Iron-Molders' Union.
Step by STEP by his ability and prudence,
he has risen from the ranks Of labor to po-
sition Of wealth and influence. He is EN-
phatically self-made man. His prosperity,
however, has not made him unnlindful Of
the duties he owes to the workngmen.
He has always been an active Republican.
He is now member of the Finance Com
mttee OF that party. in 1884 lie was elected
Supervisor from the Tenth Ward and filled
that responsible Office with credit TO himself
and benefit to the city. He is in every way
well qualified for the important position Of
Superintendent OF Streets If elected, as
he probably will be, he will bring to his
duties the thorough integrity and business
methods and ability which have been the
stepping stones in his prosperous career.

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 1.-The Stocktons
took the home team down peg in the first
game to-day, which was transferred from
Stockton. Up to the eighth inning the
score stood one TO one. hits and errors being
very scarce up to that time. Perrott pitched
a superb game for the Stocktons, holding
the home team down TO four hits and strk-
ing out FIVE batsmen. Armstrong rendered
him good support and kept base runners
bugging their bases.
The second game was called shortly after
O'Clock. PerIott, against his will, again

this time he di1 not fare so well, being
sized up for twelve safe hits. besides giving

Borchers pitched for the Senators, and
while Ie was not wild he was touched rather
lively, ten hits being scored off his delivery.
He gave but three bases on balls, and
struck out five batters. Following are the
scores:
