CAMPAIGN ECHOES.
Gossip Cleaned Among the Local
Politicians.
Waterman's Frantic Efforts to Defeat Mark
hams Candidacy-Buckley Retires to
His Rural Castle

That an effort will be made to deliver the
San Francisco delegation to Waterman at
the Sacramento convention can no longer
be doubted. 1t is hardly probable that the
Governor himself expects that he will Sc
cure the nomination, but with him 1t Is
anything to beat Markham" and so he
and his private secretary are forming
every possible combination TO compass that
result
The cause Of the enmitY is plain. 1t is
personal one, and arises from the fact that
Waterman has been led enormously into
the belief that had it not been for the
others candidacy he would have had a
walkover for the nomination. When Mark
ham met him on his native heath and
knocked his prospects in that direction
into a cooked hat Waterman, through Pri-
vate Secretary Boruek, began a warfare of
bitter personalities, and, under screen of
the smoke Of battle, sought to make flank
movement on San Francisco.
His first move was made on the San
Quentin management, and when that had
been fixed up" he turned his attention
IN rapid succession to the Fire and Police
commissions. lie rallied to his tax-eaten
banner such men as ex-senator Phil Grim
Minis and Martin Kelly, and they, it is I'M
dersteod, will throw their followers in the
convention to him. That is, they will be
with him on the first ballot or as much
longer as necessary to effect a combination
to defeat Markham. At least that is said
to be the programme at present mapped
out, provided, Of course, that Kelly and
Crimmins hold their own and carry a ma
j0rity Of the delegation. Even this, how
ever, is extremely doubtful as matters now
strand and if the OnpOSinU factions are
given representation at the polls on the day
of the primaries it will be anybody's fight,
with the chances in favor Of the election Of
q badly scattered delegation.

IT KILLED HIM.
A Bale of Hay Once More Does
Its Deadly Work.

James Kearns, who was struck on the
head by bale of hay. last Thursday MORN
ing,while walking along the street opposite
the slaughter-houses in South San Fran
cisco, died early yesterday morning from
the injuries he received in the accident. His
body was removed to the MOTgue.
Kearns. who was salesman in South San
Francisco, was going TO his work In the
morning as usual when, without warning,
a heavy bale of hay dropped on the back of
his head, injuring his spine and ribs and
pressing him down to the sidewalk uncon-
scious. The hay had been suspended in
mid-air from tackle, and was near the
warehouse floor above when suddenly the
hooks slipped Just at the time Kearns was
passing.
An autopsy viii be held on the remains to
ascertain the exact cause of death, and an
inquest to determine if some one connected
with the hay warehouse is accountable for
KparDs' death.

HORSES IN A FIGHT.
a Savage Battle Between an Irish and

n Savage Battle Between an Irish and
Norman Stallion.
A battle between two horses was fought
last Saturday on Mr.. Michael Murphy's
stock farm, OF the Brandywine near Mil
ford's Mills, Pa, says the New York sun.
On the farm, which covers an extensive
territory in East Brandywine and Wallace
townships, Mr.. Murphy had been laying
out half-mile driving track for use in
training and exercising his bloOded horses,
among which are half dozen imported
stations. One Of these was recently
bought in Ireland for $500
On Saturday Mr.. Murphy rode this ami
NAL from his home at Milford to supern-
tend the completion of the driving track.
and on reaching that part of the track
where the w0rkmen were putting on the
last touches in levelng, he dismounted
and hitched the horse to a post In
a few minutes one of his grooms, seated
on another valuable horse, a Norman
stallion, appeared, and tied the second
horse to post near the first The irish
stallion Immediately grew restless and in
moment contrived to work his bride off.
Them with a shrill neigh of challenge, he
lcaped straight up in the air and rushed
with open mouth upon the Norman stall
lion. The latter answered the challenge
with loud cry, and vigorously kicked up
his heels to receive his antagonist in form.
Being securely tied, however, the Norman
was at disadvantage, and his Irish adver-
sary inflicted upon him several dreadful
bites upon the head and neck. But he re-
ceived in exchange from the Norman
shower of tremendous heavy-footed kicks
IN the body. Upon this the Irish stallion
retired few PAGES for another charge.
The Norman saw him coming and rearing
up broke away from his fasteniDgs and
jumped forward to meet the foe. The COL
lision was terrific. Both beasts fought with
degree of sayagery that was surprising.
Their shrll cries of anger and pain were
heard on the DeighbOrng farms, and men
hurried to the scene from all directions and
tried to separate the combatantS. Clubs.
fence rails, shovels and hay-fOrkS were
alike useless, however, for both stations
were in frenzy of rage and could not be
controlled. One of the grooms had finger
bitten off by one of the furious beasts.
the men all stood alo0f ana allowed the
horses to finish the fight undisturbed. In
few minutes the Norman, uttering loud
roars of pain, turned tail and ran off
over the field, closely pursued by his
Irish opponent. Thus they ran, almost
neck to heels, until they reached Glen
Moore, three miles away, where, after a
were captured and eventually stabbed. The
Norman was winner beyond all odds in the
final meeting, although he fought in the
defensive.
The Irish stallion is the more seriously
injured and it is thought that he will not re-
cover. There are not less than 100 terrible
scars on his body from bites and kicks. Big
stribs of skin and flesh were torn from his
TANKS and hips by the sharp teeth of the
Norman. The victorious Norman is, how
ever, almost as seriously damaged and may
have to be killed to end his misery.

CORAL.
The Use OF This Pretty Substance
(.niDo Ont nf Fashion

The Use OF This Pretty Substance Is
Going Out of Fashion.
AT the present day coral is most largely
exported to such countries as Abyssinia,
the Congo. the Cape, India and Ceylon,
Siberia. China and Japan. The choicest
pieces are used for the buttons of Chinese
mandarlns or for ornamenting the turbans
OF rich MusSulmans, while the inferior
qualities, sent to less civilized countries,
are employed for various purposes Coral
has often been used as money in some quar-
tiers, but that use of it is now declining.
Barbarous and semi-civilized people en-
ploy it largely for ornamenting arrows,
Iances and pixies, and also for decorating
cOrpses before interment. Prices have
varied much of late years, rapid decline
in value having taken place owing to the
scarcity of good, and the comparative abun-
dance of inferior, qualities.
Besides the loss accrung to the fisher
men, the present state of things is very
seriously affecting the large number of peo-
pie employed IN preparing the coral for use.
There has been great decline in the num-
Der of women thus engaged at Legh0rD,
and the same thing is taking place at Ma
piles and Genoa. the other principal seats of
the industry. Nowadays the proportion Of
Inferior quality Is so much larger that
fewer persons can manipulate the same
quantity. No machinery or mechanical pro-
cess is employed, but the workwoman
takes the PIECES into her hands one after
another, and, according to their thickness,
quality and defects, works them into GER
tain forms. Their wages run from 7lad. to
Is. Sd. per day.-Chamber's Journal.

Monthly. To the historian and the anti
quarry he is not devoid of interest for 1t is
asserted that the old black cart horse or
shire-horse of England is Identical with the
"great horse" or war-norse OF the middle
ages, and the series of coins to which MIR.
Waller Gilbey refers in recent work IN
support of this theory might furnish mat
ter for fairly long chapter on numismat;
les. Looked at, however, from practical
pOiEt of view, the cart-horse Is useful
animal, whose value might be increased by
careful training.
The most superior cart-horses belong
either to the English breed of Clydesdales-
Scotch, perhaps. in origin as they are in
name-and the French breed of Percherons,
which are said to be descended, in part, if
not entirely, from an Arab stock, and are
generally regarded as at least equal to
Clydesdales. The greater number of the
cart-horses used in this country come from
the West or Pennsylvania. 1t is doubtful
if they could be bred with advantage in
New England, but perhaps it would be
profitable for farmers at the East to buy
PercherOn or half-bred PercherOn or
Clydesdale colts at the age of 2 or 5, work
them moderately, and sell them again at
the age of or 6. Under this system the
horses would come to the market in much
better condition than the corn-ted animals
of the West.

AN ALBINO ABORIGINAL.
What Search Expedition in Australia
Found.

w nat n search Expedition IN Austraila
Found.
To discover some trace of the lost eX-
plorer DIR. Ludwig Leichardt, has been for
forty years the dream of the Australian
bushman and latter-day pathfinder, and
when Mr.. Alexander McPhee. manager of
the ninety-mile beach station, on the west
ern coast OF Australia, heard from a tribe
of blacks, who had travelled far to attend a
carroborae at Lagrange Bay, that white
man was living with one of the tribes in
the INTERIOR he set out on go miles bush
ride to find him. The white man turned
out to be Jun Gun, an Albino aboriginal,
and not as was fondly hoped a relic of
Leichardts lost expedition.
STILL Jun Gun was a curiosity, and as
such was brought to Melbourne and eXhib-
tied. The late Mr.. Carr. author of The
Australian Race" in which an effort is
liam aboriginal back to the South African
black, had declared that an Albino had
never been known among the Australian
natives, and Jun Guns appearance was the
refutation Of that statement Although his
complexion is not darker than that of many
a sunburned bushman, his features are I'M
questionably those OF the better looking
type of aboriginal. His breast and head
are covered with the scars of battle, and
Jun Gun has clearly held his own as one of
the warriors OF his tribe. lie has long,
Wavy hair of a golden yellow. and full
sandy beard. His eyes are unquestiOnably
thuse of an Albino, and his whole body is
covered with white hair nearly half an inch
long
Ii the discovery of Jun Gun does nothing
more, it promises to stimulate effort to dis
cover same traces of the intrepid and long
lost Leicnardt. At different times it has
been stated that the iron cart-tireS of the
wagons of the lost explorers had been seen
or "reminiscences of the party discovered in
hieroglyphlcs upon tree-trunks. Mr.. Me-
Phee, in HIS search for Jun Gun, heard
rumors which have further excited public
curiosity, and the end will probably be a
search expedition fitted out Under the aus
pices of the Geographical Society No one
but an Australian can understand the rev.
erence in which we hold the memory Of
these old-time explorers. They are our
heroes Of the Victoria Cross. - London

YET A PROBLEM.

" Scientific Evidence of the Existence OF
Soul"
DR.. Jerome A. Anderson lectured at Red
Mems Building, go Post street, last night,
on "The Scientific Evidence Of the Exist
ence Of Soul" He gathered his evidence
from the teachings of psychology, physiol-
ogy, biology and general science. After
treating the subject from these various
standpoints he presented a deduction to the
Theosophic truth that matter in all its
shapes and forms is the result of thought.
He argued that true consciousness comes
by sleep or death, inasmuch as man then
assumes control of his own destiny
He asserted that Theosophy teaches man
to combat materialistic science with its own
weapons, to meet philosophy and collateral
sciences upon the territory Of their own
facts and to prove that intelligent con-
seriousness underlies and is the source of
all their phenomena. Thus it will restore
to humanity that of which naterialism has
robbed 1.-THE belief i'll a soul and the
promise Of a future existence.

Movement on Foot TO Erect Suitable
Monument
The Italian residents Of this city will soon
inaugurate movement to erect monu-
ment to Christopher Columbus in Golden
Gate Park. 1t is thought that $1,000 to
$50, 600 will be required for the purpose, and
the American portion of this population
will be asked to contribute. The idea will
be to have the monument completed in time
to be unveiled on the occasion OF the quadri-
centennial celebration of the discovery Of
America in 1892. The Italians are deeply
interested in the matter and think it can
easily be accomplished.

Buckley VIII Hold Himself Aloof From

Christopher \. Buckley has retired to the
quiet precincts of his Liyermore ranch, and
before going announced through the Demo
cratic organ of the Republican party that
lie would take no active part in the ap-
preaching campaign. In the retirement of
his castle he will abandon himself to the
luxury of repose. In addition to a desire
for rest, the boss" with the accumulation
of wealth, has grown aristOcratic as well
as autocratie, and longs to seclude himself
from the communicating influence of the
rabble. He has developed a sudden repug-
nance for all things Of a plebeian nature,
and it is said that the near approach Of
flannel shirt is sufficient to throw him into
a state of nervous excitement, and the
presence Of man perspiring from honest
toll brings on an attack of vertigo. For
these reasons the drawbridge leading to his
castle will be lowered only to those fortu-
nate enough to be the possesSOrS of wealth
or high in the councils of the machine. The
workers and heelers will not be allowed to
enter the royal presence, and will be COM
PEELED to stand aloof. Thus is another
