THERE is NO TRIBUTE.
False InsinuatiOns About an
Appeal for Money.

The following letter is being circulated
among Republicans of all classes throughout
the state for donations to be devoted 10 the
interests of the party
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. ID. 1880.

lure in The different portions OF our State. and
thai under their directions agents have been aud

ing free-trade doctrines and distributing free.
trade pamphlets.
Ii is tile desire Of the committee to counterfeit
these efforts OF our opponents, bat we cannot do
so unless assisted financially by stanch Repub-
llcans OF this State.
The expenses OF this committee during the last
campaign have been exceptionally large, the re-
suit of our earnest endeayors TO offset the effects
of tie free-trade literature, so generally dstri-
Duied by the publication and extensive dstIibu-
lion OF campaign documents, statistics relating 10
the tariff aud protection literature.
This committee recognizes the personal eff
forts OF The Republicans, which contributed in
no small degree 10 the grand victory which the
laIty achieved, making California the banner
republican state, yet The character OF the WORK
deYolyng upon this committee is such that it re-
quires The expenditure OF money to counterfeit
The effect OF ifee-trade literature so generally
distributed by our political opponents and 10
maintain our party lines unbroken for the next
PRESIDENTIAL campaign.
Believing you TO be deeply interested In The
success OF the Republican party, we would be
pleased 10 receive financial assistance from you.
and If you feel disposed 10 aid us In this matter,
contributions viii be received by W. Ii. Davis,
4O7 and 400 Montgomery street, San Francisco,
who Is authorized 10 receive the same Tor this
committee.
The letter speaks for itself; it is simply an
appNal TO Republicans, and in no way in
tended to be means of levying tribute.
Yet wi thin the past few days nsinuatons
have been maze in Democratic headquarters
that through it the Republican State Cen
tral Committee is engaged in levying assess
ment on Federal Office holders. 1t is the in
tention of the Republican State Central
Committee 10 maintain its organization. to
perform active work from now on until the
close of the canvass in 1892, and to keep
alive the issues of the party, as well as to
distribute documents that the people may
be educated on the tariff and other Republic

TEN DOLLARS CAUGHT HIM.
A Man Wanted by San Diego Bank
Captured by Bosqui.

A Man Wanted by San Diego Bank
Captured by Bosqui.
at 10:40 o'clock last night as the train
for the north pulled out of Arcade depot,
Detective Bosqui sat down at the size of
small man with a brown mustache, who
was comfortably ensconced in a corner of
one of the cars. and engaged him in con-
versation. The passenger was not very
communicative, and replied in monosylla-
bleS to the detectives questions. On arri-
val at the San Fernando-Street depot, how
ever, the officer introduced himself and
placed the little man under arrest by virtue
of telegram from the Bank of Commerce
of San Diego. The little man vigorously
protested against this action, and while the
detective vas assisting him TO take his bag
gage from the car he took to his heels and
fed across the yard. AS the officer
was hampered by a coat and a nasty
fall he received in jumping from
the car, the little man had all the advantage
and vas RAPIDLY making the best of it, His
pursuer pulled his gun and sent a bullet
whiZziug over his head, but this only served
to Increase his pace, and finally in despera-
ton the detective yelled out, Ten dollars to
the man who catches hint" This cry acted
like charm, for in two minutes the little
man was struggling in the grasp of burly
brakeman, and lie was soon handed over to
the detective. He was taken to the station
and locked up in the City Jail to await the
arrival Of an officer from San Diego. When
searched he had over 5000 in gold and notes
upon his person, besides a gold watch and
several valuable trinkets. He had pur-
chased ticket for Mohave, aud would
doubtless have gone East from that place
mad he not been captured. The kilograms
stated that his name was 5. Phillips, but the
authorities are somewhat retcent as to the
nature Of the offenSe for which he is wanted

NOT SETTLED YET.

The Affair Between the Coast Seamen
and Lumbermen.
The difficulty between the Coast Seamen's
Union and the longshore lumbermcn was
not settled yesterday as was intended. The
longshoremen object TO the seamen unload
ing their own vessels, and. as Mr.. Mackay,
editor of the Seamen's Journal, said to a
reporter: 1.-THE United States laws require
us to fulfill our contracts, and that is a part
OF 1t. We do not handle lumber on the
dock. We certainly don't want to. Bnt
when vessel is lying alongside wharf
with only half-hour's job on it the lumbe
men refuse to take it. Then the sailors, in
justice to the owners, pitch in and simply
land it on the dock. They do not remove it
to the yards, of course"
The Committee of Arbitration that is try
ing to settle the difference between these
unions labored for three hours yesterday,
and succeeded in reaching an agreem ent on
what was supposed up to the last moment
10 be all the points of difference ra ised
All Unexpectedly another obstacle presented
itself that defied the peace-making powers
OF the committee, and so adjournment un-
til Sunday was decided upon. 1t is pretty
nearly certain, however, that complete har-
mony will be restored.

AT A /: 40 PACE.
A Horse stampeded on the Front by
Drove of Pigs.

A Horse stampeded on the Front by a
Drove of Pigs.
A drove of pigs stampeded horse which
was attached to a buggy in which were two
young ladies yesterday afternoon near the
ferries. The animal was a beautiful dap
pied gray and as spirited as colt. He be-
came unmanageable and dashed down East
street toward the Oceanic Dock at :40
pace.
The ladies lost all control of him, and
their buggy whisked by lumber teams,
trucks and express wagons, narrowly miss
ing some and striking rather violently
against three or four. When nearing the
Oceanic Dock there seemed TO be nothing to
save the entire outfit from going overheard.
Special Officer Schmidt sprang in front OF
the animal, after having seen half dozen
men madly dashed aside by him. He
caught the reins close TO the bit and chung
on until carried nearly to the stringer OF the
Wharf,. By this time be had other help, and
srdrut ded in stopping the runaway.
The ladies, who were terror-strlckeh,
jumped ont and refused TO return, and the
horse had to be sent to his stable on Golden
Gate avenue. Miss Nettie Bryan OF U FAR
rell street was driving. and her companion
was Miss Stevens of Golden Gate avenue.
They rode home on street-car.

fore. The nets will be thrown over dogs, as
in Eastern cities. and no Inconvenience nor
injury will be felt by the captives. A
wagon low down to the street will be ordered
this week for removing animals to the
pound. This will be easier for the animals,
AS they can be carried into it, not hurled
upward, as before.
The pound itself will be built and man.
aged as such places are in the East, and
everything that humane feelings can sug-
gest will be put in vogue.
