had an attack of vertigo on Market

Furniture squabble-Wrong Man

Mary Johnson has made afffda-
Wit against E. Zachary for disor-
derby conduct. 1t seems that the
disorderly conduct consisted in Mr..
Zachary being too persistent in
trying to collect a bill for some
furniture sold to Mrs. Johnson.
The officer, armed with warrant,
went to arrest the offender, but it
seems in court this morning they
had "pulled" the wrong man, as
the prosecuting witness did not
know him, and the case was dis
missed. The officer is now out
after the other "fellah," and his
hearing will probably be heard by
the recorder tomorrow morning.

present it to the Council for the purpose of
placing each and every member on record,
so that the people may know for GER
tainty who has and who has not gone over
to the railroad company. Whether or not
the Councilmen who voted with the rail-
road on Monday night will be able to with
stand the pressure of the present public
feeling remains to be seen.
One of the gentlemen who has been
foremost in pushing the interests of the
opposition ferry said yesterday that he re-
garded the action of the Oakland City
Council as no less than criminal.
1t begins to look as though we might
as we'll throw up the sponge" he con-
unued, "for unless the Council Ichanges
its mind and passes the needed ordinances
we are wholly atlthe mercy of the railro ad
company. We elected these men because
we considered them the very cream of our
business men. and thought that they
would carry out our wishes in this matter
of the Seventh-street road. They were
elected to their positions only because they
promised to relieve us of this railroad in
cuous, and now when the crucial test is
applied they flop over to the side of the
monopoly without so much as an explana-

elected him."
Mayor Pardee, in an interview on the
subject. spoke as follows:
Il have the utmost confidence in the
ability of the present Council to straighten
this entire matter out and to do justice TO
the people of Oakland.
''As regards the action they took last
evening. every citizen has his own individ-
ual opinion. Ihave mine, and that opinion
is that the Council acted after due deliber-
alton and for what they considered to be
the best interests of Oakland.
No man can truthfully say that the
Council or any member of it was actuated
by any but the best of motives. Any as
sertiOn that the Council or any mem Der of

The Council meets again tonight.

as the railroad company was concerned
there was no intimation that any change

the Money Centers,


NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-One fact was made
the most of this morning by those aware
of it. and that was the disappearance of
premium on currency of all kinds. Zim-
hermann & FOrshay, the firm which dealt
the most extensively in currency of any

the late stringency. said they were no

freely. and the money tor all payrolls was
supplied last week without any difficulty

AND IT'S FRIENDS IN LINE.
Mr.. Cleveland Has Been GraciousIy
Pleased TO Indicate What He
Desires of the Senate.
AND IT'S FRIENDS IN LINE.

WASHINGTON, Sept 5.-The financial
policy of the administration was clearly
defined to-day. 1t is that all the secondary
financial legislation is to be POSTPONED
till the Senate acts on the repeal bill.
The House Committee on Banking and
Currency, to which falls the duty to orig
this morning, but at once adjourned for
one week.
1t is learned that the President and Sec
retary Carlisle expressed a wish that all
remedial legislation be postponed till the
repeal bill has actually passed the Senate.
There is no doubt the committee intends
to follow this suggestion. The object is to
put the spurs on the Senate by concen-
trating public attention on it. The House
will keep the road clear for immediate
consideration of repeal as soon as il comes
from the Senate.
During Inc meeting Of the Senate Com
mittee on Finance this morning there was
an informal discussion of the policy TO be
pursued with reference to the measures
now before the Senate and which have
been reported by this committee. Senator
Voorhees, announced his determination TO
push the repeal bill as rapidly as possible,
and Indicated that this would be done, at
least for the present. without reference to
other bills which the committee had under
consideration. This was taken as further
proof that. whatever truth there may be
in the rumOr that the administration has
other financial plans brewing or that
Voorhees, himself is anxious to secure
other legislation. all these schemes will be
at least temporarily held back and the re-
peal bill given undivided attention.
Senator Harris also made an important
announcement in the meeting on behalf, il
is supposed. of the opponents of the repeal
bill This was to the effect that hereafter
it was his purpose 20 demand. at all times.
that there shall be quorum in the Senate.
This announcement is supposed to have
originated in the state of affairs discoy-
cred ia the Senate yesterday.

SHOW That the Americans Are
a Perishing People.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-The first formal
session Of the Pan American Medical Con-
gress assembled to-day. After prayer by
Bishop Parrot of Maryland, President
Cleveland welcomed the mem bers, dwell
ing on the high and important position
which the medical fraternity held in its
re atIOns to individuals and the Govern
ment.
At the conclusion of his short address
the President declared the congress open
for the transaction of business. The oc-
casion was one of great interest. as it WAS
President Cleveland's first official appear
ance since his return from Gray Gables.
Speeches of welcome were made ty DR..
S. S. Adams, chairman IF the Washington
reception committee, and by j. W. Ross
for the District of Columbia.
DR.. William Pepper, president of the
congress, then spoke words of welcome of
the congress to its foreign guests, and he was
followed by an address from the foreign

by Professor Risques OF Venezuela on
American plants aud their drug products
but the most important work was at the
meeting In Grand Army Hall where DR..
Gihon, medical director OF the United
States Navy, was in the chair. The sub
ject attracting the most attention was the
establishment of a national scientific con-
troll of public health. DIR. GihUn read the
first paper, dealing chiefly with the neces-
sites of hygiene. In the course of his re-
marks he said: "Immigration is the huge
pestilential sewer contaminating our once
pure lake of American people. Facts show
that II per cent of the /: population are
foreign. while 80 per cent of the inhabi-
tants of our asylums and hospitals are
foreign. Our race is dying out. Our
American women bear no more children.
Who is to take their place? Americans
no longer nurse their young. How Can
we remedy this? Give US q national
scientific body, and the cure and better
ment of race will soon follow"
After other speakers we're heard resolu-
tons were adopted declaring that interests
OF the public health should and must be
entrusted in the nation to department of
government especially charged with their
administration, one of the lndispensa BILE
requirements of such department. being
